I, Jiajing, Emperor Longevity

Chapter 88 Yan Shifan: Dad, Daming is short of money again
The highlight moment of the Yellow Turban Army only lasted for three months.

Soon, the big man's counterattack against the Yellow Turban Army entered a critical stage.

In the first year of Zhongping, in May, the capital saw that Huangfusong was besieged, and sent Cao Cao to lead an army to rescue him.

However, before the reinforcements arrived, Huangfusong had a plan in mind. When a strong wind blew in the evening, Huangfusong ordered the soldiers to go out of the city secretly with torches in their hands, and use the weeds around the Yellow Turban camp to attack and smash the enemy with fire. The leader also raised a torch to respond, and Huangfusong rushed into the enemy's line with drums to help.

The Yellow Turban Army was in chaos, running around.Encountering Cao Cao's reinforcements again, they were flanked by Huangfusong, Zhu Jun and Cao Cao on three sides, beheading tens of thousands of people, and the Han army won a great victory.

In June, Nanyang prefect Qin Jie fought with Zhang Mancheng and beheaded Zhang Mancheng.

The Yellow Turban Army changed to Zhao Hong as its commander, and occupied Wancheng with more than [-] people.

However, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun continued to attack the Yellow Turban Army of Runan and Chen, and pursued Bocai to Yangdi, and finally defeated Peng Tuo at Xihua. , defeated the enemy army, and successfully defeated the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou.

On the other hand, Lu Zhi defeated Zhang Jiao in several battles in Jizhou, beheading more than ten thousand people.

Coincidentally, at the time when Emperor Han Ling sent eunuchs to monitor the military situation, someone persuaded Lu Zhi to bribe, but Lu Zhi refused, so the eunuch falsely accused Lu Zhi of ineffectiveness in fighting to Emperor Han Ling.

Emperor Han Ling was furious and escorted Lu Zhi back to Beijing in a prison cart.

The capital had no choice but to readjust after issuing an edict: Huangfu Song went north to Dongjun; Zhu Jun attacked Zhao Hong in Nanyang; and Dong Zhuo replaced Lu Zhi to attack the Yellow Turban of Jizhou.

The luck of the great man has fallen again.

Under such a battle situation, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan rushed to the Jizhou battlefield.

The rise and fall of the great Han is what Liu Bei needs to consider.

Shushan's exercises are what Jiajing needs to consider.

Zhang Jiao's "Taiping Yaoshu" is extensive in content, involving heaven and earth, yin and yang, five elements, ten branches, disasters, gods, etc. Jiajing is determined to win.

In the second year of Zhongping, Zhang Jiao died of illness, and Liu Bei returned to Zhuo County. He was promoted to Zhonglang General with military merits, and was named Dutinghou to guard Youzhou.

Living up to expectations, he secretly got the wonderful book "Taiping Essentials".

Jiajing didn't care about the method of practice, but Jiajing paid special attention to the art of refining weapons recorded in it.

As we all know, materials are the material basis and guarantee of the manufacturing industry, and the materials industry is a basic industry.

The development level and quality of the material industry directly affect and determine the development level and quality of a country's industrialization and manufacturing industry.

Daming's promotion from industrial civilization to cultivation civilization, let's not mention it for now.

The materials needed to cultivate immortals in Jiajing already required the power of the whole country to maintain them.

The material technology for cultivating immortals copied from "Taiping Yaoshu" is very simple, it is concentrated and purified by means of cultivating immortals.

Gold, silver, copper, iron and tin, one ton is condensed into one catty, and one catty is condensed into one gram, finally forming the hero of hardware.

This is the necessary material for practicing Taoist flying sword.

Taoist flying swords can be firm and flexible, and can change without any direction, but not any flying sword can change through psychic changes. It needs to be tempered with time, and years of sacrificial training will not work.

The sacrificial refining of the Taoist flying sword is different from ordinary magic weapons. It is divided into two ways: shape refining and quality refining. Every time the shape and quality are refined, the quality will increase by one point.

The shape-refining sword, psychic changes, can be as long or short as you want, and can be divided into thousands.

The sword of refining quality only seeks sharpness, and one sword can cut all things and all dharmas.

And if the quality of the flying sword's material is too poor, not only will it be more difficult to refine the shape and quality, but it will probably reach the limit of quality after one or two refinements, making it impossible to continue refining the sword.

It's not that Jiajing has a soft spot for flying swords and magic weapons, he insists on it.

But in the future world of Raiders, the level is getting higher and higher, and without any foundation in hand, I really can't fool those old six in the heavens and worlds.

To plan for a rainy day should also be prepared early.

The basic methods of cultivating immortals and cultivating tool people for refining materials are not difficult. There are not many people around the Ming Dynasty, but there are many people. If you choose one out of ten thousand, you can always find a group of suitable cultivators.

But the basic materials, aside from other things, are precious in gold.

What Jiajing wanted was not a flying sword, his appetite had always been a bottomless pit.

In the cabinet duty room, Yan Song is practicing.

Yan Shifan, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, strode in. After Yan Song raised his eyelids and glanced at him, he said loudly angrily:

"Father, my son can't keep working as the minister of the Ministry of Industry."

"What father? How many times have I told you that you are called a job when you are working."

"Yes, Mr. Ge." Facing Mr. Yan Ge who was getting deeper and more dignified, Yan Shifan lost his temper.

"If you run out of money, you can go to the household department to approve it. What are you in a hurry for?"

Yan Shifan grimaced: "Ge Lao! This is not about counting silver at 01:30. The money in the Neiku Mountain has already bottomed out. I am so busy that I don't even have time to drink a cup of tea, and I have to argue with the Ministry of Household Affairs. I'm tired! I'm suffering!"

Yan Song tapped his finger on the table: "For Daming, for the Emperor, no matter how hard and tiring you are, you have to enjoy it. What nonsense are you talking about here?"

Yan Shifan still had a bitter face, and lowered his voice: "The industrialization of the Ming Dynasty, the construction of railways, the construction of factories, and the Longevity Emperor's Palace that the emperor wanted, I didn't arrange any of them properly. Now my son is really afraid. In the past six months, the Ministry of Industry has consumed The amount of money and grain is more than the sum of previous years.”

Yan Song frowned slightly: "Why are there so many? Why don't I know?"

"It's the account of the internal treasury. Eunuch Lu, the supervisor of ceremonies, just explained to me that the heavy burden will soon be placed on the head of the household department. Father, the winter six years ago is coming again."

"Brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers." Yan Song's eyes flashed at this moment, the light that has been hidden all along: "You must first fight for yourself. Yan Shifan, you don't have to be afraid of this, and you can do things for the emperor with peace of mind. Yu Dayou is here The country of Wa has found a mountain of silver, which is enough for the emperor to practice Taoism."

"Really?"

"It's true."

Daming, Yuxi Palace.

Jiajing sat cross-legged on the gossip table.

In the dantian in the body, the aura is like a sea, and there is a bright silver metal sphere suspended in the dantian.

Suddenly, following Jiajing's thought, this weird metal sphere rotated and slowly unfolded, forming a small ancient sword shape.

"call out."

This hair-sized ancient sword flew out of the dantian in an instant, traveled along the veins in the body, and quickly spit it out from the mouth, turning into a bright white light.

As soon as the little sword met the air, it immediately became bigger, and it became bigger rapidly.

It turned into a three-inch-long eight-faced Han sword, suspended in front of Jiajing.

"Congratulations, Lord Long Live."

Lu Fang suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed like garlic: "Hexi, Long Live Lord, you have practiced flying swords and become a top figure among sword celestial beings."

"It's just a basic flying sword, not worth mentioning."

Having said that, he still took it into his body solemnly, conceived and raised it in his dantian day and night...
