I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 395 Increase the dose of medicine!

In December, snow begins to fall along the Yangtze River.

Li Heng was drinking mutton soup and reading the letter written by Zhuge Liang.

The situation in Tongguan became tense. According to the information detected by the scouts, the Wei army's military defenses in Tongguan and Linjin increased greatly in a short period of time.

This was obviously to prevent Wei people from further entering Guanzhong.

Of course, it is also possible that Sima Yi deliberately showed it to Ji Han's senior management.

It is impossible to confirm whether Cao Wei's current military center of gravity is in Tongguan or Nanyang County.

After all, such a major military matter cannot be just announced. It requires sufficient investigation and systematic inference.

Otherwise, if there is a slight mistake, the whole game may be lost.

However, the people's strength in Guanzhong has recovered beyond expectations. Not only have all the past fields been taken over, but the newly arrived people, with the help of sufficient farm tools, have entered into a large-scale land reclamation situation.

"Here." Xue Liang walked over with Li Heng, "This is what we just tested. The dosage is very small, but it can already explode. We have tested ten different dosages. As the dosage increases, the explosion power increases, but Because of confidentiality, the maximum dosage is not large.”

"It's done." Xue Liang was a little nervous, and his voice sounded dry.

"It's done?" Li Heng didn't react for a while.

"how many?"

Li Heng compared the left and right and found that Chang'an's people's livelihood data were better than his Jiangling's.

Wang Ping, the prefect of Hanzhong, was transferred to Guanzhong and entered the Tongguan front line.

"What's the matter?"

Li Heng followed Xue Liang and walked in. Everyone inside stood there with nervous expressions, as if they had been waiting for Li Heng.

"It's fifty pounds."

There is a secret workshop there.

Looking at the broken wood, Li Heng's heart skipped a beat and he was immediately ecstatic.

"Where?" Li Heng asked immediately.

"How big will it be?"

"The gunpowder Lang Jun asked for is ready."

"Lang Jun, come with me quickly."

Li Heng stood up in an instant, stared at Xue Liang, and asked vigorously: "Seriously?"

"Increase the dose," he said.

Just after reading Zhuge Liang's letter, Xue Liang hurried in: "Lang Jun."

"Put it all in a wooden box."

Only then did Li Heng react. He quickly followed up, walked through the corridor in the backyard of the General's Mansion, and walked to the innermost part.

Although I have thousands of years of experience, when it comes to execution, I am far inferior to the Prime Minister!
Of course, it can also be seen that Zhuge Liang is already semi-retired in Guanzhong, and most of them are still led by Fei Yi and assisted by Yang Yi.

"All of them?" Xue Liang was a little surprised.

"Yes, all of them."

The people below immediately went to execute it, and Li Heng stared there without blinking.

Those people were skilled in their movements, and it was obvious that they had done it countless times.

Fifty pounds of gunpowder is not too little, but it is not too much either.

After all, it is black powder and its power is limited.

After everything was in place, Xue Liang came over and said, "Mr. Lang, please step back."

Li Heng retreated more than 20 meters, and Xue Liang went over to light the gunpowder himself, and then ran back quickly.

Everyone was very nervous. At this time, it started to snow in the sky and the cold wind was as cold as a knife.

But immediately, there was a loud bang, the wooden box was blown to pieces, a ball of fire flashed, and then smoke rolled up.

Everyone was startled by the loud noise, and some even collapsed in fear.

The guards of the General's Mansion were also alerted, and when they ran over, they were pushed away by Li Heng.

"Is there any more?" Li Heng asked Xue Liang.

"It's all used up and needs to be re-proportioned."

"If the dosage of the drug is increased, will it be more powerful?"

"Yes." "Okay, how many people do you want?"

"There are enough people now, and there is enough sulfur, but not enough saltpeter."

"Don't worry about the saltpeter, I've already ordered people to mine it."

"Lang Jun, saltpeter is too precious." Xue Liang sighed, "We searched most of Nan County before collecting a little bit, and we collected it near the latrine."

Li Heng smiled and said, "I have a way to give you enough saltpeter."

It's very simple, Longyou produces saltpeter.

There is a large amount of saltpeter in Longyou. Longyou is now the territory of the Han Dynasty. He had written to the Prime Minister a few months ago and asked the Prime Minister to arrange for people to mine it.

According to the progress, the first batch will be transported along the Yangtze River next month.

Xue Liang didn't know where Li Heng came from, but since Li Heng was so sure, he said nothing more.

After the test was over, Li Heng issued an order that everyone in the General's Mansion should not discuss the explosion.

On the contrary, December passed peacefully.

In the middle of the month, Liu Chan wrote a letter to Li Heng. In addition to expressing condolences about Jingzhou's situation, he also asked about Li Heng's marriage.

The words also revealed the idea of ​​introducing a girl to Li Heng.

After all, Li Heng is already in his twenties. During the Three Kingdoms period, children at this age would have already known how to play soy sauce.

Li Heng was not in a hurry. When he wrote back to Liu Chan, he always deliberately avoided getting married.

On December 20, Li Heng was drinking tea around the stove when Du Yu suddenly strode in.

"General, the origin of Wuyue Cavalry School Lieutenant Lu Ju."

"Ok?"

"Lu Shiyi came to join us."

Li Heng came to his senses and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't he a close minister of Sun Quan?"

"He was beaten as a traitor by Sun Hong, and now he can no longer defend himself."

"He has property here?" Li Heng was still very cautious. What if it was a fake surrender?
"No."

"He has nothing to fear."

"I have investigated and found out that he has really been labeled a traitor. Lieutenant Wu Guoting has launched an investigation into him. Scholars and people in Jianye City are rumoring that he is a traitor because he once had close contacts with Wu Can."

"Oh……"

"In addition to him, we also accepted thirteen grassroots officials from the Wu Kingdom this month."

"What's going on?"

"Now the dispute between the Crown Prince and King Lu has spread to the local areas. Some people are taking advantage of the opportunity of local performance evaluation to start strictly investigating local officials."

Li Heng couldn't help but be surprised. It seems that top-level politics really cannot be messed up!

If top-level politics is in chaos, the middle level will soon be in chaos. Once the middle level is in chaos, the grassroots level will definitely be in chaos.

And the level of chaos increases as the number of people increases.

"Where is Lu Xun?" Li Heng was more concerned about Lu Xun.

"Lu Xun is still in Wuchang."

"Is there any movement?"

According to this progress, Lu Xun should be fast.

Could it be that Lu Xun won’t die this time?

Could it be that the butterfly effect of history saved Lu Xun?
"No movement of Lu Xun has been detected so far." Du Yu said, "General, would you like to meet Lu Zhi?"

"I will disappear. Just make arrangements." Li Heng said lightly.

"Okay, I will arrange it."

"How about Zhuge Yuanxun and Wang Yanyun's military training?"

"The two men are extremely talented in military affairs. They are almost equal to each other. Moreover, Wang Yanyun's son is also a very talented person. The new recruits who are joining the army will be able to adapt quickly."

"That's good."

While the two were talking, a letter came quickly from outside. It was an urgent report from Wuchang.

Li Heng opened it and noticed only four words: Lu Xun is dead!
