The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

And Liu Tao didn't have good intentions, let them go back, and provided them with the food they needed on the way...so in the end, no one was willing to leave, just hoped that they could live around Yunzhong County, at least a little bit more prosperous, hope it would be bigger .

"What a boring day..." Liu Tao looked at the official document in his hand, "When will there be a big battle to fight?"

Chapter 364 Arrival in 188

Maybe the ordinary days will pass faster, after all, the same things are repeated every day.Liu Tao sometimes wakes up in a dream, not sure whether he was yesterday or today... There is also a factor of sleepiness.

Time passed day by day, from September 186 to December.It snowed heavily in winter, and Budugen sent people over, hoping to exchange some meat and furs for some food, even some coal stoves, and of course briquettes.

After careful questioning, I found out that the heavy snow on the grassland froze to death a lot of livestock. At the same time, the problem of heating was also very serious. If this continues, it is estimated that many clansmen will be frozen to death.

In the past, it is estimated that in order to make a living, they had to go south to plunder, and by the way, transfer the conflicts within the tribe.Probably this is the main reason why Xianbei went south in December 186 in history.

But now because of the opening of border trade, Budugen has a new choice.In other words, he does not yet have the ability to fight Liu Tao with all his might.

The trade was carried out ten days later, and a large number of livestock frozen into popsicles was sent over.Liu Tao ate a meal of lamb that day. Although he usually had the conditions, he was not willing to waste it.

"It seems that it was a very wise choice to propose border trade..." Bu Dugen was in his big tent, roasting a fire. The stove burning briquettes was very powerful. It was very convenient to cook food and water, and the heat emitted could also be used for heating .

Some time ago, Liu Tao said that there was also coal on the grassland, and probably pointed out a place, and Budugen had already sent someone to look for it.After finding it, it is estimated that some people can be mobilized to dig.Whether it is used by tribes or sold to Han people, it is very good.

In fact, there are not only coal, but also iron ore. Liu Tao is still very interested in the Baiyun Obo mining area under the jurisdiction of Baotou City in later generations, but at present this mining area is still in Budugen's territory.

If Liu Tao remembers correctly, the iron ore reserves there are as high as 14 billion tons, and it is one of the important iron ore producing areas in China.The Dazhi Iron Mine in Hubei, the Ma'anshan Iron Mine in Anhui, and the Panzhihua Iron Mine in Sichuan are all too far away from his site...

It's just that this iron mine, he won't tell Bu Dugen, that it is an enemy.When will this piece of grassland be laid down, and when will he start to build a city and start to govern this area, when will he start to develop this mining area.

Another point is to keep warm in winter. After all, generally speaking, after July and August, the weather is a bit cold.The temperature in this year is slightly lower than after 2000... To be honest, it is not right to compare a period of global warming with this period.

"Clean up and prepare for war!" Budugen quickly made a decision. This winter, he was very bad, and Kebineng would be equally bad. It is the most suitable time to fight.

Looting, so as to better make up for the losses of the tribes under his command.It is obviously not enough to rely solely on border trade!

These have nothing to do with Liu Tao. In winter, everyone prefers to hide on the kang. Before the promotion of warm-keeping methods, such as sweaters and down jackets, they really don't have the ability to fight in winter.

Unless, once a day, the light of purification restores their frostbitten hands and treats them with healing.Yes, he will still fight when necessary!

At the beginning of spring, Budugen came to trade again. This time, more than 3000 slaves were traded.It can be seen that in the battle last winter, Budugen won a complete victory.

This time, the procurement of medicinal materials, mainly hemostatic drugs, occupies the bulk of the trade.It can be seen that although their tribe won a big victory, they also paid a price.Even if these three thousand slaves can be sold, it means that they can't see it.

Two days later, Cai Yan gave birth, and the entire prefect's mansion was in chaos. It was the first time, including Liu Tao, who became ants on the hot pot.Symptoms began to appear at the time of mao, and after waiting for three hours, the mouth of the uterus began to dilate. It took half an hour for delivery, and Cai Yan's screams of pain and straining were constantly heard in the delivery room.

"Wow wow wow..." With a strong cry, a new life was born.This eight-pound child almost tormented his mother to death.

"Patriarch, he is a fat boy weighing eight catties!" The servant girl came out and announced excitedly.

"How is Cai Yan?" Liu Tao was more concerned about Cai Yan's situation.

"Ma'am, everything is fine!" The servant girl was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile, "It's just that I'm a little tired and need to recuperate."

The eldest son of the old Liu family was born at this time.In terms of names, Liu Tao and his father-in-law had some disagreements. The name Cai Yong chose was 'Cong', which is also a kind of beautiful jade, which is very in line with his old man's naming habits.

The eldest daughter, Cai Yan, and the second daughter, Cai Ying, are both named Yu, but his grandson actually planned to use this trick.

At first Liu Tao refused. After all, the name Liu Cong felt a bit prodigal.I can't stand Cai Yan's liking, and this one has a tendency to suffer from postpartum depression. Perhaps literary girls are prone to sentimentality...

There is no choice but to compromise, let Liu Cong be Liu Cong!Anyway, now that he is still young, he can slowly teach Liu Cong to grow up and make him sensible, so it is impossible for him to become a puppet of his relatives... If possible, he does not want to act like abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones.

More than a month later, the eldest daughter was also born, weighing more than seven catties, but the process was also a bit thrilling.The main reason is Ren Hongchang's age, he is still a little young, and his figure is also slender.A seven-pound baby is also a burden to her.

Then according to Cai Yong's naming rules, he was named Liu Qiong, which is also a kind of beautiful jade... Liu Tao suddenly wanted to take Liu Yuanqi over.

However, the father-in-law is also considered a half-father, Liu Cong has come out, and Liu Qiong seems to be able to accept it.

This may be the biggest thing in 187, after all, other things can't even attract Liu Tao's attention.The suppression of the rebellion in Xiliang had to be temporarily suspended as the bandits retreated to Jincheng County and supplies were scarce.

Of course, it is also inseparable from Dong Zhuo's passive sabotage.Zhang Wen has begun to understand that he can't control Dong Zhuo at all!

Liu Hong planned to replace Zhang Wen, but he was worried that changing generals frequently would be bad for the battle, so he planned to give Zhang Wen one last chance.

There was nothing unusual in this year. At most, around August, Yunzhong County built an academy named 'Normal Academy', and another academy named 'Hongdumen School' was established the following month.

Everyone is very curious about what the two academies teach.After careful inquiry, I found out that the Normal Academy specializes in cultivating teaching teachers. In the future, elementary schools and county schools will be opened in various counties, and the teachers who teach are all graduates of the normal school.

The Hongdu School taught various occupational skills, such as agriculture, carpentry, craftsmanship, and medicine.Liu Hong had opened this thing before, but at first it was only to teach singing and dancing music theory, and Liu Tao expanded it.

He even plans to open an agricultural university, specializing in the cultivation and improvement of crops and livestock.It's just that there is a lack of teachers, so it can only be merged into Hongdumen School as a college inside.

Time came to 188 years in a blink of an eye, and Liu Tao felt that the time passed so quickly, as if he had been taken away...

Chapter 365 Liu Tao's Goal

"My lord, an urgent report from Luoyang... Zhang Chun and Zhang from the same county raised their troops to rebel!" One day in March, an urgent report from Luoyang broke the ordinary life.

Just like in history, Zhang Wen planned to transfer [-] Wuhuan Tuqi as reinforcements.According to the intelligence content, Zhang Chun was in the army at that time, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to be a general.Zhang Wen should be worried that Zhang Chun would be as difficult to control as Dong Zhuo, so he didn't agree.

At the same time, Gongsun Zan was transferred as a general to lead the cavalry.But Zhang Chun was not happy, thinking that this sudden cavalry was formed by himself for training, so why should he give it up to others? It may also be that he realized that the war situation was anxious and the world was in chaos, so he rebelled.

If you think about it, Zhang Wen is not in Bingzhou to mobilize the frontier army for support, but to mobilize the army in Youzhou, which will give people a little illusion: Is the imperial court running out of soldiers?Now rise up, is there no one who can stop me? !

But Zhang Chun didn't know that Zhang Wen didn't transfer troops to Bingzhou, but he didn't have the face to transfer Liu Tao's troops there.After all, he was the one who drove Liu Tao back, and now he wants someone else to come, no matter whether Liu Tao wants to come or not, he can't say that.

It can only be said that the lack of information led to Zhang Chun's wrong judgment, which eventually led to the rebellion.

"In this way..." Liu Tao felt a little depressed, "The reason why Zhang Chun rebelled has something to do with me?!"

"This person can rebel, so naturally he doesn't have any loyalty in his heart. If he doesn't rebel now, he won't be able to rebel in the future, and there is no need to worry about it, brother." Hearing this, Lu Yan came forward to comfort him a little.

"The current focus should be on the current situation in Youzhou." Xun Yu stepped forward, "It takes about five days for the news over there to be transmitted to Luoyang by local officials. It also takes about five days for the imperial court to receive the news and pass it on." About five to six days."

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and no one knows how far the rebellion has progressed.

The transmission of information in this era is really the most criticized place.If you want to know the situation in one place, sometimes you need to transfer to another place, and you don't know how much time is wasted during this period.

Ordinarily, it should be faster to send news from Youzhou and Jizhou, at least five or six days faster than passing through Luoyang.But there also needs to be a caravan, just know about this matter, and then you can only know when you mention it when you come over.

There are only two ways to get news:

First of all, it is to build official roads and post stations with Yunzhong County as the center, and then use the post transmission system to continuously collect news from the front line.That's what Luoyang is currently doing, and its location can get news from all over the country as quickly as possible.

This is also one of the reasons why Luoyang replaced Chang'an as the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Then you can form a large number of caravans, domesticate pigeons, use the caravans traveling from south to north, and a large number of intelligence personnel to understand the situation in all parts of the country, and quickly pass the news through the pigeons...

These two methods have one thing in common, that is, they are both national projects. If local forces want to do this, they can only do it a little bit, slowly within their own sphere of influence.At the same time, the investment in intelligence costs will occupy part of the fiscal revenue.

It is definitely the fastest in this era when it is really established and the speed of getting news.At least it will not happen, for example, when the news came from Luoyang just now, the enemy army has come from Youzhou and surrounded Yunzhong County...
