"Recipe? It's the recipe again! Yuan Shao stomped his feet angrily, but he was helpless.

This Dr. Ma is already the best craftsman he can find, and this person is said to be the remnant of the Mo family.

Doctor is an official position, which means a person who specializes in one scripture or is proficient in one art, and Dr. Ma's real name is Ma Tai, who is a Fufeng person, who fled to Luoyang with his family when he was courting Dong and joined Yuan Shaojun.

"This gunpowder is too magical, unless the formula is found, it will be difficult to achieve the same power as the Zhenbei Army Heavenly Thunder." Mattei said helplessly, and then closed his eyes and waited for death.

The young man who lit the fire before hurriedly ran over, knelt beside Ma Tai, and bowed, "Ming... Ming Gong, I.. I.. I can.. Change.. Change for the better.. Other.. Don't kill .."

Seeing that the young man was stuttering heavily, but he was anxious to speak, and his face was flushed, Yuan Shao couldn't help asking, "Who is this?" Stuttering is like this, but it must be clumsy. ”

"This is the son of Ma Tai, Ma Jun."

Yuan Shao sighed, looked at the father and son, and said with a smile, "That's it, firearms are something that has never existed before, and it is not easy to do so in a short period of time."

If the power is not enough, increase the amount, before the autumn harvest, I want you to prepare 10,000 grenades, can you do it? ”

"Ten thousand??"

"What's the difficulty?"

Mattei swallowed, shook his head, and said, "As long as there are enough manpower and materials, there will be no problem." ”

This sentence is also saying that if the raw materials are not enough, then he has no choice.

"Mr. Judge, you don't have to work on anything, and this matter is still up to you to coordinate."

"No!"

Yuan Shao clenched his fists, looked at the many generals and said, "I, Yuan Shao, have Gu, now that there is this thunder and autumn harvest battle, you must take back Ma Qiang's head for me and pay tribute to the many soldiers who have died!" ”

"No!!"

Yuan Shao waved his hand to let everyone disperse, but he didn't leave, Yuan Shao wondered, "Is there anything else to do?" ”

"When Duke Ming is preparing for the autumn harvest, he will send troops to attack Ji?"

"Yes, I do have this plan, Ma Qiang has won Youzhou again, thirteen states in the world, and he has already got three! There's no time to wait..."

He shook his head and said, "But I am not in the state of locust plague, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of grain and grass after the autumn harvest, and if I want to send troops... Where does the food and grass come from? ”

"We are short of food, and he is also short of food, rather than letting so many pot-bellied men eat here, it is better to go to Jizhou to eat!

Gong with! Jizhou is now our enemy, you can't feel pity for your fellow countrymen! ”

After speaking, Yuan Shao waved his sleeves and left, leaving him alone in the hall to lament.

Jizhou... It's going to be a plague of war again.

- Guangzong

Zhen Yan felt floating when she walked at this time.

This time he went south to Yangzhou to open up a trade route, and he can be said to be a great success, as for the evidence....

As a result, major companies in the stock market have set off three more price limits, is it evidence?

"Director Zhen, Ming Gong is already waiting for you inside, come with me." Search the e-book

Seeing Huang Xu waiting at the door, Zhen Yan hurriedly quickened his pace, and while walking, he said to Huang Xu flatteringly, "Master Huang has worked hard, how is Ming Gong's mood today." ”

"You may not know it, but Mrs. Orange is already happy."

"Really?!" Zhen Yan only felt that his heart had stopped for half a beat, although no one said anything about Ma Qiang's success, everyone was worried about it, and now that Ma Qiang has a future, it means that the group of Zhenbei Army is more stable.

Thinking of this, Zhen Yan couldn't help but think about it.

This water battle in the south made him even more convinced that the future of the Zhenbei Army would definitely not only be the current three northern states, but a bigger world.

Zhen, as the first family to contact the Red Star Camp, Zhen Yan has been secretly regretting it.

What do you regret? I regret that I didn't throw myself into the Red Star Camp early!

Don't look at yourself now that you are already the director of the Commercial Supervision Bureau, but what the Commercial Supervision Bureau is in charge of, it is the business of businessmen, and it is a cheap business! It's no different from that Li Jue.

Zhen can't just care about these things in the future.

But how can I keep climbing...

Zhen Yan entered the room, but what he saw was not only Ma Qiang, but also Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Hua Jing, Yang Wanli, Yue Liang, Guo Ping, Guan Ning, Mi Zhu, Li Jue, and Yue Yang.

"Originally, Lin Lao was also coming, but he was sick, so he didn't let him come."

"Huh? Is Lin Lao okay? ”

Although Lin Huan was born as a wild man, as the village chief of Dasong Village and the head of the five elders, Zhen Yan still knew that in the Zhenbei Army, Lin Huan was much more noble than him.

"Lin Lao is fine, I have already diagnosed it, but the temperature has changed recently, and I am a little cold." Li Jue said with a smile.

"Don't talk about this, take a seat, the telegram you sent, I have circulated the bureaus of the Political Supervision Yuan, according to what you said in the telegram, Sun Jian and the Lujiang Zhou clan have united, and are willing to open the trade road in Jingzhou for us, right?"

Before Zhen Yan could sit down, he had to stand up again and reply, "That's right, Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu, the young master of the Lujiang Zhou clan, jointly wrote a document, promising to buy goods worth no less than six million stone grain from our Zhenbei Army every year for sale to Jingzhou and even Yizhou. ”

"Six million stones! How many ships do you have to ship! I see the construction of seagoing ships speeding up. Yue Liang said in a low voice.

"But six million is still a little less, plus Yangzhou, there should be 10 million stones a year to replenish, now I am afraid that there will be loss of waterways." The chief housekeeper Yang Wanli sat on the four-wheeled bicycle and calculated it.

"You can't exchange all the grain, Jingzhou's silk is also a good cargo." Mi Zhu has also been a businessman, so he naturally knows what goods are most valuable in Yangzhou.

"There are also a lot of medicinal materials in the south that I lack in the north, and this cannot be missing." Of course, Li Jue is saying this.

"Six million stones, the total population of Jingzhou's counties is about six million, this number is good, but Liu Biao is not a mediocre person, he will sit back and watch so much grain flow out of the territory?" Ma Qiang asked.

Six million stones, enough to feed an army of 100,000 for a year and a half.

"Ming Gong, after Jingzhou, there will be beneficial to Zhou and Yuzhou, as long as the road is smooth, there will never be a shortage of grain, the goods we sell them, they can also be transferred to Yizhou and Yuzhou, not to mention that there is too much food, but it hurts the peasants."

Ma Qiang nodded, indeed, a large part of the famine in ancient times was actually due to inconvenient transportation, and where there was food, it was impossible to transport grain to areas where there was a shortage of grain.

The wear and tear of ancient land transportation is unimaginable to later generations, even if it is carriage transportation, it can only be transported for 2,000 miles at most, which is about the distance from Wuhan to Baoding, because at this time, half of the grain on the car has been eaten by the transport personnel and horses, and the rest, they have to eat on the way back.

If you want to ask why horses also eat the grain they transport, don't go to the side of the road and eat some weeds....

That's not impossible, but you'll have to pull the cart with the horse, and the horse says I'm losing weight...

Of course, no one will transport grain like this, you call it tourism, you can always take the waterway, but the waterway is also dangerous, under the wind and waves, a boatload of grain may be lost, and it is easy to make the grain damp and moldy, but this is much better than the absolute land route.
