Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 249 Who cares about Soochow, why not vote for Jingzhou?

Jiaozhou, the junction of Yulin County and Cangwu County.

Lu Jiajun's camp.

After seeing off Lu Meng and Bu Zhi, Lu Xun returned to his military tent. Sun Ru looked at the imperial edict and wine bottle on the altar, and asked, "Wu Hou sent these to you? What do you mean? Although it is winter, it is time to pay attention to the state." Nuan, it seems that you won't need this 'buguishou medicine', right?"

"Ha ha--"

Lu Xun sneered faintly, lifted the bottle of cornel wine, and poured out a glass, "Ma'am, you second uncle, you want to kill people but don't want to see blood, you keep asking me to go back and drink with him during the winter solstice, but where is the winter solstice?" There is also cornel wine, the chrysanthemums have all been thanked, this wine and the medicine of buguishou told me that if the winter solstice does not return, I will give way to the general and take over the army, so I don’t have to go back.”

After all, Lu Xun raised his glass and was about to drink, but Sun Ru rushed to knock over the wine glass.

Lu Xun said with a smile, "This is the wine given by Marquis Wu? How has my wife ever been so courageous?"

Sun Ru said coldly: "If I had been more courageous, I wouldn't have let my mother and younger brother disappear... Now, he is going to kill my husband again. Could it be that I just sit and wait for death?"

Lu Xun replied flatly, "One month, this is just the beginning..."

Sun Ru asked in a worried trembling voice: "But what about a month later? The patriarch of your Lu family will be in Jiaozhi, unless...unless your husband doesn't care about anything!"

"Man is a sword, I am a fish." Lu Xun opened his mouth with difficulty, "For the current plan, we can only wait."

Sun Ru asked, "What are you waiting for?"

Lu Xun's face was gloomy, and he said coldly, "Wait until someone can steal Lu Ji out! As long as he comes back alive, I will be the real patriarch of the Lu family... If not, then..."

Sun Ru was shocked: "This... you are betting your life!"

Lu Xun's tone was firm, and he even said harshly, "Under the current situation, I can only gamble this time. This may be the time to bet on my future!"

Speaking of this, Lu Xun asked in a slow tone: "Maybe, this will be my last bet, Lu Xun."

This…

The sudden coldness of the atmosphere made Sun Ru feel more and more uncomfortable.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "What if the Lu family's army still stands still in a month's time?"

"Didn't you hear what General Bu Zhi said just now?" Lu Xun's tone was filled with infinite sadness and sadness: "Now the food for our Lu family army can be held in the hands of General Lu Meng. With the grain in my hand, who would have thought that I, Lu Xun, would be forced to this point, in a dilemma!"

and many more…

Listening to her husband's words, Sun Ru suddenly thought of something, she suddenly opened her mouth, "Husband, actually...actually...there is still a way?"

"What way?" Lu Xun looked at Sun Ru, but there was no color in his eyes.

Sun Ru hurriedly checked the doors and windows to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then she walked up to Lu Xun and said in a low voice, "Second uncle is not kind, we can be unrighteous, no matter what Soochow or Jiaozhou, my husband and I Why don't you take the Lu family army to Jingzhou!"

Sun Ru's words came out one after another, with a firm tone: "I don't believe it...I don't believe it, my husband has [-] Lu family troops, so Guan Yunchang will not accept him? Will he be regarded as a guest of honor?"

This…

Sun Ru's words startled Lu Xun.

He hastily covered Sun Ru's mouth, his eyebrows furrowed in an instant, and he exclaimed again and again:

"Ma'am, you, are you crazy?"

Sun Ru's martial arts far surpassed Lu Xun's, she quickly broke free from Lu Xun's restraints, and she straightened her chest.

The tone became more and more determined: "Look at General Xu Kun, look at Zhou Gongjin, Chief Governor of Zhou, and then look at General Tai Shici... If your husband insists on staying here alone, then... you are really crazy!"

Lu Xun covered Sun Ru's mouth again.

He looked at Sun Ru as if begging, his lips were trembling.

"Right now... we can't get to this point—"

However, Sun Ru's eyes became more and more determined, as if she had already made some kind of decision.

...

...

In the Han Dynasty, apples were called "Nai".

The "Nai" of the Han Dynasty was far less big and plump than the apples of later generations.The taste is not particularly sweet, it is about the size of an egg.

It's red and very attractive.

Of course, whether the apple is delicious or full is not important.

The important thing is that October is the season when apples are ripe.

At this moment... under an apple tree in Mianshui Villa.

The egg-sized apples were falling, and Liu Ye picked them up with his head, and they fell on his head one after another.

Liu Ye was not hit by the apple by accident, he stood here on purpose, waiting for the apple to fall.

The reason for this is that Guan Lin proposed to him a concept of "gravity" and "universal gravitation".

At this moment, Liu Ye stroked his forehead, looked at the fallen apple, and said with emotion:
"Is this the 'gravity' and 'universal gravitation' mentioned by Mr. Yunqi? It is indeed thought-provoking!"

He frowned slightly, as if he had pondered for a moment, and then pursed his lips while taking out from his bosom the "Illustration of Qi Qi Qi Shuo" presented to him by Guan Lin.

Can't help but sigh with emotion: "The book says 'what is the weight? Every body goes straight down, and it is the one who wants to reach the center of the earth.' Is this the so-called gravity?"

Speaking of which, "Qi Qi Tu Shuo" was compiled by Wang Zheng during the Ming Dynasty, and there is already a definition and explanation of gravity in it.

It can be said with certainty...

This one, the definition of gravity is nearly 40 years earlier than Newton was hit by an apple and realized "gravity".

To make a digression, considering the great voyages of the Ming Dynasty, whether Newton's "universal gravitation" theory was plagiarized from my Great China's "Illustration of Qi Qi Qi Shuo", this is a matter of opinion for the beholder.

Of course, this is not important, the important thing is... Liu Ye seems to have a new understanding.

"According to this theory, does it mean that under a fixed acceleration, as long as the eight-ox crossbow increases its gravity, the shooting range can continue to increase... and even break through 1000 steps and reach [-] or [-] steps?"

Being studied by Liu Ye to this point.

It seems that this "Illustration of Strange Artifacts" already has a taste that the giver has no intention, but the viewer has intention.

without any exaggeration…

——Gravity, mass, gravitational acceleration and even resistance...

This series of nouns seems to have opened a door to a whole new world for Liu Ye, making him daydream endlessly, and allowing him to testify to the many possibilities that existed in his mind from the book.

——The ancients were not unintelligent, but their vision was not broad.

—— Once the ancients are guided, they can often burst into a terrifying learning ability and creativity.

A copy of "Illustration of Qi Qi Qi Shuo" seems nothing to ordinary people, even people of later generations.

But for Liu Ye, this man who can skillfully use the "leverage principle" and create a thunderbolt car is simply a "plug-in" existence.

——"Crack!"

Seemingly because he suddenly figured out something, Liu Ye took a bite of the apple, "It's the height... yes, yes, it's the height! This eight-ox crossbow can be further adjusted in height to find the optimal 'gravitational acceleration' ', to reduce drag in the air...yes, that's it...that's it..."

After thinking about it, Liu Ye took one last look at the apple tree, and hurriedly ran to the workshop again.

During this time, all his thoughts were on the workshop.

And his understanding of craftsmanship, the manufacturing skills of these large-scale ordnance, he learned very quickly, and he can always make improvements and strive for perfection...

In many cases, the ordnance improved by Liu Ye even made Huang Chengyan, the successor of the Mohism mechanism art, feel inferior.

Yesterday, when Guan Lin came to Mianshui Villa, he specifically asked Huang Chengyan.

——Ask him how Liu Ye is?

Huang Chengyan's answer was that within ten years... I am afraid that Liu Ye will be able to change the way the entire battlefield is fought on his own.

Guan Lin was shocked, as if, this has to be cultivated!

Therefore, he wrote out this book of physics in the Ming Dynasty, "The Illustration of Qi Qi Qi Shuo" overnight, and sent someone to him early in the morning.

It was when Liu Ye entered the workshop.

Huang Chengyan is counting the newly built eight-ox crossbow.

These are twenty eight-ox crossbows...

The Jiaozhou Shibian family has sent someone to receive it, and the money has already been in place.

According to the agreement... Huang Chengyan is going to deliver the goods today.

Seeing Huang Chengyan, Liu Ye hurried to him. The conversation between him and Huang Chengyan was like a discussion between two academic masters: "Old Huang, I have an idea. According to the theory in "Qi Tu Shuo", I think...in the eight oxen crossbows, as long as the heights of the "three strong bows" are raised and lowered to a certain extent, the straight line is changed to a slight slope, and the aiming is slightly corrected, then... this The energy stored in the eight-ox crossbow will be greater, and the shooting distance will be farther...Maybe it will be able to..."

Not waiting for Liu Ye to finish the last five words "1000 two hundred steps".

At this moment... Shi Wu and Shi Hui happened to arrive.

Shi Wu, as Guan Lin's guard, and Shi Hui, as Shi Xie's son, naturally cared about these eight bulls.

I saw eight oxen crossbows being transported.

Shi Wu was quite excited. "Senior Huang, Mr. Yunqi ordered that you can give us twenty eight-ox crossbows today... But is it true?"

This is out of the way...

Shi Hui also looked forward to it. His father, Shi Xie, had urged him countless times, and he was extremely looking forward to bringing the eight-ox crossbow back as soon as possible.

At the same time, because of the weight of the eight-ox crossbow, it is not fast to transport even by water.

Therefore…

The Shijia decided to send a group of people to transport the eight-ox crossbow first, and another group of people to continue practicing in Jiangling. Finally... half a month later, they will meet in Jiaozhou. When the people and crossbows are united, they will be able to land on the battlefield in the battle against the Lu family army. It's time for battle.

The warriors and badges in front of me...

Huang Chengyan is no stranger.

The past few days have been dealing with each other, and the two sides chatted pretty well.

Most importantly, the inadvertent generosity of the Shi family gave Huang Chengyan a hundred jars of good wine from the Jiaozhou area as soon as they met. Huang Chengyan appreciated it very much, and felt that Yunqi, an ally, made a good friend and was worth it.

Immediately, Huang Chengyan stroked his beard, "Since Yun Qi said so, the eight-ox crossbow can be delivered today..."

Before the word "pay" was out of his mouth, Liu Ye hurriedly stopped him, "Mr. Huang...can't pay, can't pay..."

His tone broke down: "I... I just need, just a little change, to increase the range from 1000 steps... to at least [-] [-] steps...Give me a few days, you believe me...give me a few days..."

Liu Ye said it firmly, he felt that his thoughts had never been so clear.

He only needs to try now, and then make individual improvements... and then make large-scale improvements.

He is sure to finish it in five days.

only…

Shi Wu hurriedly said: "Mr. Liu just said? How many steps can the shooting range be improved?"

"Two hundred steps in 1000." Liu Ye's tone was firm.

Shi Wu and Shi Hui waved their hands at the same time.

"Oh, how can it be used so far... [-] steps are enough, [-] steps are enough..." Shi Wu said with a smile, "If Mr. Liu wants to change, then the next batch of changes will be done. These twenty eight-ox crossbows , my elder brother is... but he is eager to see through!"

Shi Hui also echoed: "Yes, not to mention a few days, but a few hours...I'm afraid that even my father can't wait."

This…

Liu Ye scratched his head slightly, he is a person who strives for excellence, but he did not expect...

In the eyes of Jiaozhou scholars, [-] steps is far enough, far exceeding psychological expectations, which makes Liu Ye a little embarrassed.

"Haha..." Huang Chengyan said with a smile: "There are still eighty more in the future. Besides, Yunqi still needs a lot in Jiangxia. Ziyang, there is a chance, there is a chance."

Huang Chengyan's tone towards Liu Ye was gentle, and he was completely trained as the "successor" of the Mohism mechanism.

Having said that, my daughter is not around...

Why don't you find another "reliable" successor? This Liu Ye, who was newly persuaded by Yunqi to surrender, is quite suitable for Huang Chengyan's appetite.

"Okay...then I'll go to Houshan to have a try first." Liu Ye cupped his hands and said goodbye...

Looking at his back, Shi Wu blinked his eyes, and said with emotion: "If this eight-ox crossbow can really shoot 1000 or [-] paces away, then...does it matter if you are brave and good at commanding troops when fighting?"

Hey…

Shi Wu's inadvertent question drew Huang Chengyan's attention.

Yes…

In Huang Chengyan's view, Guan Lin's blueprint, Liu Ye's research and improvement, these two kids are perfectly matched, and the result is...

Thinking of this, Huang Chengyan couldn't help swallowing with a "gudong".

He murmured in his heart:
——"Continue to build like this, on the future battlefield, it will have nothing to do with bravery or commander-in-chief!"

——"Is this what Yunqi called 'Learning martial arts can't save a big guy'?"

...

On this side, twenty eight-ox crossbows are being handed over.

On the other side, in the western suburbs of Jiangling, Diao Chan originally came to the farmhouse here to buy herbs. Suddenly... by the river, he ran into a woman.

The woman is about 35 years old, born clean and ethereal, the kind of beauty that people can't forget after just one look...

Even Diao Chan couldn't help being surprised.

I muttered in my heart, this was 15 years ago, when it comes to beauty... I am afraid that even she may not be able to beat this woman, right?

This woman is Da Qiao who came to Jiangling.

Having said that, just yesterday, Sun Shao sent his mother, Da Qiao, to Jiangling.

He had heard that there was a very famous Mianshui Villa on the outskirts of the western city.

And because of Mianshui Mountain Villa, the western suburbs are both lively and safe, so... Sun Shao settled his mother, Da Qiao, in a farm in the western suburbs of Jiangling.

Originally, Sun Shao planned to buy a few maidservants for his mother, but Da Qiao was afraid that his identity would be leaked...he insisted on not allowing it.

Sun Shao couldn't hold back him, so after settling down, he had no choice but to leave.

It was nothing.

Da Qiao is in his 30s and has lived in Jiaozhou for many years, so he has no problem living alone.

But as a newcomer, it is inevitable to want to go out and have a look and get familiar with the surrounding environment.

But she never thought that when she walked to the river, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach... At this moment, she was half kneeling by the river, clutching her stomach, looking extremely uncomfortable.

Because there was no one by the river here, so... no one helped her.

Seeing her in pain, Diao Chan quickly put down the medicine basket and ran to Da Qiao's side.

"what happened to you?"

"I...I...I don't know..." Da Qiao Qiqi Ai Ai replied, she especially clutched her stomach.

"Blood?" As Zhang Zhongjing's adoptive daughter, Diao Chan's medical skills are outstanding among women, and her observation skills are also extremely keen. She immediately noticed the blood left on Da Qiao's leg.

She hurriedly said: "It's the 'moon water coming to my stomach', don't worry, it's fine..."

Abdominal pain caused by moon water is the name of a pathology that only women had in the Han Dynasty, and it was called "dysmenorrhea" after the Qing Dynasty...

As a woman, Diao Chan understands this pain best. She asked with concern: "You...can you still stand up? I'll help you back..."

"Can...can..."

More than ten years of tempering in Jiaozhou made Da Qiao extremely resolute. She gritted her teeth and stood up slowly with Diao Chan's support. She tried her best to point... the mud room that she just bought was neither crude nor luxurious.

"Thank...thank you ma'am."

"It's okay." Diao Chan supported Da Qiao, "Let's walk slowly, and I'll check it for you when we get inside..."

Yes, this disease...

It can only be checked in the house.

"Oh..." Diao Chan suddenly remembered something, "I forgot, you put this on first..."

While talking, Diao Chan handed a "Blood is not wet" to Da Qiao.

Da Qiao looked at this strange object with small wings, and for a moment, he... didn't know what it was?How can this be used?

...

...

Sichuan, Chengdu.

In the study of General Zuo's mansion, Zhuge Liang had already talked with Liu Bei for a long time.

It's just... the topics of conversation between the two are nothing more than two things.

First, it was Zhuge Liang's empty city plan to retreat Cao Cao. After several investigations, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang sorted out the reason behind it.

It turned out that it wasn't that Cao Cao was timid, it wasn't that he wanted to go back to deal with the internal struggles and deal with the candidates for succession.

——It’s the great changes in Jingzhou!

It was the Xiangfan battlefield. Guan Yu fought several beautiful battles one after another, not only beheading Wenpin, Man Chong, Niu Jin, Lu Chang and others, but also completely regaining the north of Jiangxia.

This is equivalent to the fact that all Jiangxia in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River now belongs to Liu Bei, which directly threatens Nanyang County, the economic center of Cao Wei and a major grain producer.

This is infinitely close to the core and lifeline of Cao Wei...

If Nanyang and Xiangfan fall, then Cao Wei is bound to take a turn for the worse.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao did not dare to launch an attack, did not dare to get trapped in the battlefield in central Shu, and returned to Jingzhou immediately.

Undoubtedly, this won the most valuable development time for Shuzhong.

Second, it is this rare development time, a series of government orders implemented in the middle of Shu...

Contrary to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's expectations, the establishment of the Commerce Department and the collection of commercial taxes have achieved unexpected results.

Because only merchants who have joined the Commerce Department can do business.

And because the merchants of the Commerce Department can get rid of the low status in their identities!
This has caused a large number of merchants to flock here, and the collection of commercial taxes is a matter of course.

And because merchants need to be restrained by the Commerce Department, soaring prices and hoarding have been alleviated to the greatest extent.

In the middle of Shu, the problem of the turmoil in the middle of Shu and the shortage of grain depots was successfully solved without casting small coins and "straight hundred baht".

Because of the establishment of the Commerce Department and the elevation of the status of merchants, it is inevitable that some farmers would want to do business.

To a certain extent, this will affect the agricultural output in Bashu area.

There are other messy things!
If it were someone else, they would definitely be devastated...

But who made Zhuge Liang the person in charge of the Commerce Department?
Under his overall planning, there are thresholds for doing business. The transformation of farmers and businessmen must go through strict inspections.

And this requires complex and cumbersome systems and constraints!
However, these... are not a problem for Zhuge Leo.

Compared with leading troops to fight and arranging troops, Zhuge Liang is more powerful in governing the country!

Zhuge Liang handles this kind of "bad-headed" problem like a "pediatrics", which can be said to be handy.

certainly…

Whether it is the first empty city plan and the great victory in Xiangfan, or the second positive chain reaction triggered by the Commerce Department, these are inseparable from the battle reports, secret letters, and urgent mails without a person's name:
——Guan Lin Guan Yunqi!

Naturally, today, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei have been chatting and boasting about this name for a long time.

The words of praise have already been said.

At this moment, another decree that is closely related to Guan Yunqi is already-the arrow is on the string, but it will not be issued.

The expressions of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei also became unusually solemn.

Zhuge Liang asked meticulously: "Master, are you ready?"

Liu Bei paused, nodded heavily, and pondered: "Yunqi is only 15 years old, but he still has the courage to seek the well-being of the people. I, Liu Bei, have fought all my life? How can I be timid at this age?"

Liu Bei's tone was firm.

But Zhuge Liang asked again: "Master, if you really take this step, there is no turning back."

"Hahaha..." Liu Bei smiled lightly, and said lightly, "Didn't I walk on thin ice all my life? How did I ever go back? The two sentences in Yunqi's answer sheet, I agree with them the most, and I also agree with them." The most thought-provoking thing is the so-called 'the people are rich and the country is strong', and the so-called 'water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it'!"

Having said that, Liu Bei held Zhuge Liang's hand tightly.

He seemed to have made his final decision.

He said heavily: "All the counties in Liu Bei's cities will abolish the poll tax and implement the per-acre tax. Kong Ming's matter is left to you!"

——Solemn, awe-inspiring, upright, virtuous and virtuous.

Making this decision is tantamount to Liu Bei making a choice.

Clans with more energy and quicker results are being recruited!

Or stand firmly among the broadest common people and fight side by side with thousands of Li Shu in this world!
He firmly chose the latter!
He wants to unite...the thirteen states in the world, the most extensive and the most humble, but contains the most majestic energy—the power of Li Shu!
