The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"Since Bu Dugen can get Baiyun out, he will naturally acquiesce in us taking away the spoils." Liu Tao replied casually, "Tuoba Liwei did that. It's good if he doesn't get angry, and he will listen to his provocation?"

"I can only say that there is a possibility, and the follow-up depends on Bu Dugen's reaction." Guo Jia replied, after all, he is a barbarian, and it is hard to say whether he thinks the same as them.Maybe it's possible to make a random decision when your head twitches.

"Let Lu Bu be on guard a little bit, the area from Yunzhong to Baiyun has to be more on guard." Liu Tao sighed.

I had to take a look at Zhu Jun, after all, this guy had reminded him more than once to expand his recruitment.It's just a problem of insufficient supplies, so it has to be postponed until after next summer's harvest.

Originally, there must be enough manpower, but now if we want to go to war with Budugen, then the manpower will be a bit embarrassing.At the beginning, Zhang Fei was only allowed to chase for three hundred miles. In fact, he also had this consideration.

"You don't need to be so nervous. After all, the border trade should be inseparable to Budugen." Guo Jia said with a smile, "Cracks may appear, but it doesn't affect anything. That is to say, Tuoba Liwei's behavior is not What practical impact will it have on our relationship with Bu Dugen, which makes Chen a little confused."

Indeed, if it had no effect, why would he do that?For this reason, thousands of soldiers and horses were lost, and it seemed that the gain was not worth the loss to both sides...

Or are the brain circuits of these barbarians really novel?Liu Tao didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, be careful, don't take the initiative to provoke, but absolutely don't be afraid of the other party." Liu Tao formally ordered, "After the summer harvest next year, we will start to expand the enrollment in an all-round way. A conservative estimate, at least [-] more troops will be recruited!"

"Speaking of which, Wen Ruo seems to be planning to reserve supplies to expand the enrollment by 3 people." Guo Jia reminded him a little, although he was suspected of selling his teammates.

"Nice job!" Liu Tao gave him a thumbs up. He said so conservatively just now, because he cared about Xun Yu's side.Since there is a plan to expand the enrollment by 3 people, it should be no problem to expand the enrollment by 3 people.

Of course, that is just an estimate. After all, the actual situation should be judged according to the situation of the summer harvest.

"Cough..." Zhu Jun coughed lightly. This Liu Tao is still so dishonest when he becomes the emperor, without any dignity at all.

At the same time, Tuoba Liwei has also come to Khan's tent.In order to distinguish it from the Shanyu of the Xiongnu, the leader of Xianbei first used "Khan" as the title, and of course the earliest Chinese translation was "Kehan".

Of course, only Budu Genbu is like this at present, and other places still use "Shanyu" to call their kings.

"Zhang Fei came out suddenly and took your spoils?" Bu Dugen looked at Tuoba Liwei.Tuoba Liwei in front of him was very embarrassed, with wounds on his body, and brought a group of 'remnants' over to complain to him.

"The subordinates were attacking Ke Bineng's tribe, but they didn't expect the Han army to kill them suddenly. The general with a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard suddenly killed him, saying that they discovered it first. The subordinates argued hard, but they didn't know how to annoy them. After killing the other party, he even attacked with his subordinates, and even took away the spoils..." Tuoba Liwei said aggrievedly.

"Having been in contact with the Han army for so long, don't Ben Khan know what they look like?" Budugen sneered, "Liwei, if it weren't for your father's loyalty to me, you might not even be able to be the patriarch. What will happen to me, you know!"

"The subordinates are also loyal to the Great Khan!" Tuoba Liwei hastily defended, "But there is no guarantee. After the Han people defeated Ke Bineng, they felt that we were the only family left in the grassland, and that we were beginning to threaten them. So have you changed your attitude?"

"This..." Budugen began to ponder after hearing this, after all, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

There were originally two packs of wolves in the grassland. Before the winner was determined to determine the wolf king, the hunters were not in a hurry.But once the wolf king appeared, the hunter would probably be worried that the pack of wolves would start to attack his hometown.

Judging from long-term experience, the struggle between the grassland and the Han people is actually like this.If one side has a powerful king, it will attack the other side until the king falls.

"It doesn't matter whether the general's attitude represents himself or the attitude of the big man. Khan, if we can't predict the crisis in advance and take precautions, with the current strength of the big man, we will be the ones who will suffer." Tuoba Liwei knew the pace Roots will be shaken, the more confident and wise a person is, the easier it is to doubt everything.

"Then tell me, how to prevent it?" Budugen was silent for a while, and finally looked at Tuoba Liwei.

"Perhaps, we can spare Kebi Neng's life and let him go to the Great Khan. According to the rules of the grassland, he has already lost, and the loser surrenders to the strong. There is nothing to say. There is an example of him, in the east With a few people, it will be much easier to subdue them, this is called 'a thousand pieces of gold buys a horse bone' in Han." Tuoba Li replied slightly.

Do you really think he will let go of his hatred these years?Wolves are the most vengeful creatures, so in the past few years, he has worked hard to collect books of Han people, but he has learned, and kept learning, so that he can fully understand everything about Han people.

After a pause, he continued: "In addition, Ke Bineng seems to have something to do with the Han people. We can ask him to give us the contact method with the Han people, so that we can have one more transaction partner, so that we don't have to depend on everything. The Great Han Emperor."

When Bu Dugen heard the words, he really started to move.Recently, he has become more and more dependent on border trade. He can also see that if it continues, his tribe may gradually become inseparable from the border trade of the Han court.

In the future, it will be easy to be controlled by others through border trade. Once the border trade ends, the follow-up impact will be serious.If you find another trading partner, then you can indeed gain more initiative in trade.

And as an ambitious Xianbei Khan, Budugen also wanted to restore Xianbei's strength during the Tanshihuai period.In this way, those leaders in the east will naturally conquer.

After a final balance, Bu Dugen agreed to Tuoba Liwei's proposal...

Chapter 542

Tuoba Liwei came out of the sweat tent, and did not show a knowing smile until he left, saying that his plan had succeeded.

At the beginning, he didn't think that Bu Dugen and the big man could turn against each other.In his opinion, Budugen is smarter than most Xianbei people, but he also has too many worries and lacks the bravery of grassland warriors.

The Tuoba Department is not strong enough, but he can draw more people to his side.I am still young, so I can wait slowly until the teeth and claws are sharp enough to be exposed.

Besides, as long as the gap is large enough and Xianbei is strong enough, then an all-out war is possible.I can take the opportunity to search more to see if there are any powerful treasures...

Budugen and Liu Tao didn't know about these things, but Budugen only knew that the focus of the strategy at this stage was Ke Bineng.And Liu Tao didn't care too much when he found that Ke Bineng hadn't responded.

So time passed by a little bit, and the new year came.

The weather began to warm up, and news came back from all over the country. With the popularization of heating facilities and the application of coal stoves, the death rate of the elderly and children in winter has dropped significantly.

This is exciting news, the elderly represent a wealth of experience, while the children represent the hope of a nation.

As for the remaining causes of premature death, there are only two problems that need to be tackled: the death of pregnant women caused by dystocia or even two deaths; and the premature death caused by malnutrition and disease.

It is precisely because these two goals are difficult that they can be described as "struggling".

The former is actually not difficult to solve. A special department of obstetrics and gynecology is established, and funds are invested every year to make women give birth more safely. But the latter cannot be solved unless the lives of the people are completely improved. This is the fundamental problem.

"The spring plowing in Bingzhou has to wait for more than half a month, but the spring plowing in Sizhou is about to start. I hope the household department can supervise it." Liu Tao looked at the household department.

"Observe the decree!" Wang Yun also knew that this was a routine matter, so he went out to lead the decree.

"Ministry of Industry, how is the glaze going?" After Liu Tao explained a few words, he began to ask the Ministry of Industry again.It took half a year to hand over the telescope to the Ministry of Industry and tell them how to burn the glass.

"Your Majesty, the problem of air bubbles cannot be solved yet, and we are still working hard." Su Shuang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, hurried forward and said.

If it is traditional glass, colorful and bubbles are nothing, and there is even a special saying of "tasting bubbles".But it is not so easy to make crystal clear glass.

It is not so easy to remove impurities first, and then remove air bubbles.

Liu Tao did know that in "New Stone Age", there is an introduction to the production method of transparent glass, silica sand powder, adding 10% calcium carbonate and 20% roasted algae... Finally, lead can be added to make it.

Calcium carbonate is good to say, stalactites and limestones are, and they can always be found.Liu Tao didn't know what ingredients the algae needed, so he asked someone to buy them, but they hadn't arrived yet.Trying to use other materials is obviously still in the groping stage.

The result is that it has not been explored for the time being, but various glazed products have come out, and a batch has been sold at a more appropriate price to subsidize the research funds.

"However, the art of polishing a telescope directly out of a large piece of crystal has already succeeded!" Su Shuang said immediately.

This guy, can't he finish his sentence in one breath?Liu Tao complained to some extent, but overall it was pretty good, at least there was a way to make telescopes stably.

"At least in terms of cost, it is estimated to be a hundred times higher than directly burning glass to make a telescope. At the same time, it is not easy to find such a large telescope." Su Shuang added.

"We can consider smaller ones, such as binoculars..." Liu Tao thought for a while and suggested.After all, unless there are astronomical telescopes in later generations, most of them are binoculars, and I don't know if it is because of this consideration.

"Well, this can slightly increase the output of the telescope!" Su Shuang immediately replied excitedly after hearing this.If it is binoculars, then there is no need to be so big, and such natural crystals are easier to find.

"Then make a batch of such telescopes first, and make sure that the generals have at least one or two such telescopes." Liu Tao immediately ordered, not to mention the cost, but to increase the scope of investigation is important.

In the future, if possible, each scout should be equipped with one, so that you can walk less and see farther.

The shorter the distance, the faster the message delivery will be.In this day and age, time is the lifeline!
