I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 451 Pu Yuan
Chapter 451 Pu Yuan
The early dynasties these days are basically boring and boring. With the assistance of two prime ministers, Meng Chen basically nodded in agreement and expressed some of his own opinions.

After the court meeting, according to the usual practice, everyone can leave except Sangong.Today, there are two more people, Xun Yu and Jia Xu, in the imperial study.

"Sit down, it's your own people, don't engage in so many complicated etiquette." Meng Chen walked in quickly, and spoke first.

After the words fell, the five people who arrived earlier looked at each other and smiled, and only at this time did everyone feel that Meng Chen in front of them was still the previous lord.

As soon as Meng Chen sat down, he couldn't wait to find the book "How to Use and Maintain Bird Guns" copied from the desk last night:

"Brother Cunxiao, I have written everything, and the rest can only be solved by Brother Cunxiao."

After receiving the manuscript handed over by Meng Chen, Li Cunxiao was stunned.He never expected that Meng Chen would write what he needed overnight.

"Your Majesty, this..." Li Cunxiao's words were slightly agitated, but also with a trace of self-blame.

The training of the new army, the use and maintenance of the blunderbuss were originally the responsibility of the general Li Cunxiao, but now the emperor Meng Chen did it.

"Okay Brother Cunxiao, I know a lot about the bird gun, and I can do it with ease." Meng Chen waved his hand, signaling for Li Cunxiao to sit down.

After finishing speaking, Meng Chen turned to Jia Xu again: "Mr. Wenhe, how is Anbu's progress in the Western Regions these days?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Anbu's progress in the Western Regions has been going well a few days ago, thanks to Wenyou's assistance." Jia Xu had a smile on his face, and at the same time he did not forget to ask for credit for Li Ru.

"That's very good, hurry up and check it at the craftsman's workshop." Meng Chen nodded and continued.

Anbu is progressing smoothly in the Western Regions, which is a great thing. Before the Western Expedition begins, Mengchen must obtain a lot of information, including not only the geographical environment, but also the military, folk customs and other information of various countries.

"Your Majesty, the screening will be completed in three days." Jia Xu said hastily, and then continued: "I recommend a person to Your Majesty today. This person has superb skills and can assist the general."

"Oh? Who can get such praise from Mr. Wen He?" Meng Chen was very curious after hearing the words, as if in his impression, there was no famous craftsman except Ma Jun.

"This man's surname is Pu Mingyuan, and he is from Bashu."

"Pu Yuan?" Meng Chen frowned slightly, and began to search in his memory, but there was no information about this person.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for discovering the famous craftsman Pu Yuan and giving him verbal praise." The voice of the system sounded in his mind, which made Mengchen a little uncomfortable.

What the hell is verbal praise, shouldn't there be material rewards?But Meng Chen did not have any impression of Pu Yuan.

Fortunately, the system quickly gave a paragraph of text, which made Meng Chen feel suddenly enlightened.

"Pu Yuan, an outstanding craftsman of the Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. He made three thousand knives for Zhuge Liang, and made wooden cows and horses. Later, Jiang Wei wrote two biographies for him, "Pu Yuan Biography" and "Pu Yuan Biography""

After reading this introduction, Meng Chen's face was filled with a smile. Unexpectedly, Anbu found another capable person for him.

"Your Majesty, Pu Yuan can distinguish water quality and has a unique understanding of making steel knives." Jia Xu added.

Don't look at this sentence as simple, but it has a different understanding in Meng Chen's ears.

From Jia Xu's description, Meng Chen can conclude from his own knowledge that Pu Yuan has mastered the quenching and refining technology.

"Hahaha, okay, let's not decide whether it's a mule or a horse, let Deheng judge." Meng Chen laughed, it's worth getting a talent to make him drunk.

In the Great Xia Empire, not only the status of merchants has been significantly improved, but the status of craftsmen has also been improved. The existence of artisans is the best proof.

During the period after Mengchen ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, apart from being entangled in government affairs all day long and racking his brains to prepare the plan for the Western Expedition, he almost forgot about recruiting craftsmen.

Now, Jia Xu recommended Pu Yuan, which made Meng Chen wake up!
"Thanks to Mr. Wen He's reminder today, the military division drafted a recruitment order. The development of technology is inseparable from talents, and craftsmen are the most important talents that Daxia needs."

"Here!" Liu Bowen stood up and promised, as soon as this recruitment order comes out, it is believed that craftsmen from all states in Daxia will flock to him.

"Okay, the matter of the craftsman is over for the time being, there is still one thing to discuss today." Meng Chen changed the subject, and at the same time shifted his gaze to Xun Yu.

"As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go ahead without food and grass. The biggest problem in the Western Expedition is the supply of food and grass. What's your opinion?" Meng Chen asked a question. Although he had some answers in his heart, he still wanted to hear everyone's opinions.

"Your Majesty, this year's spring plowing has just ended. Judging from the news reported by the states and counties, this year must be a bumper harvest year." Wei Zheng said, but this sentence was completely irrelevant to what Meng Chen said.

Turning his gaze to Wei Zheng, Meng Chen didn't speak, but waited patiently!
"The Western Regions are far away, and it is impractical to rely entirely on Daxia to supply food and grass. Therefore, only by vigorously developing agriculture in the Western Regions can we meet the needs of the Western Expedition." Wei Zheng expressed his thoughts, which Meng Chen recognized.

In terms of distance, it is not only labor-intensive but also time-consuming to rely entirely on the internal supply of the Great Xia Empire. Only nearby supply is the best strategy.

"Your Majesty, I think I should follow the example of the Huns!" Li Cunxiao was the one who spoke. From a military point of view, it is a good choice for the Huns to use war to support war.

"Your Majesty, I think we should develop a new way to store dry food." It was Xun Yu who said this.

For a while, everyone spoke up, and Meng Chen nodded frequently.

As the saying goes, Zhuge Liang is better than three cobblers, but these people in front of Meng Chen are much more powerful than Zhuge Liang.

"Everything you said is reasonable, but you can't go all the way to the dark, you must prepare in many ways." Meng Chen made the final conclusion.

Whether it is vigorously developing farming in the Western Regions, or using war to support war, or even developing new dry food is what Meng Chen hopes to do.

"Brother Shan, bring the things up." Meng Chen yelled at the door, and Meng Shan walked in with several Meng Jiajun holding six small cloth bags.

A moment later, when everyone opened the cloth bags one after another, a scent rushed out.

If you look closely, there is light yellow powder in the cloth bag.

"Your Majesty, what is this?" Li Cunxiao asked puzzled.

Judging from the smell alone, the stuff in this bag should be edible.

"Everyone, please try it, this is the fried noodles I made." After speaking, Meng Chen raised his hand, motioning for everyone to taste it.

To be honest, fried noodles are too dry to swallow, but the taste is better than the existing noodles!
