asked Li Yi to be taken down, and Adou opened the letter from his father in front of Feng Yong.

After reading it, he habitually handed it to Zhang Xingcai.

Lu Xun's letter described in detail the process of the Battle of Lujiang.

At the end of the letter, he also made a special mention:

Wen Han General Feng Junhou, sent troops to Xiao Pass, even broke the stable and fortified city, and attacked and plundered like wind and fire.

After Zhang Xingcai finished reading, he smiled and said:

"No wonder Xiangfu specially sent someone to send the letter over, it turned out that the letter from the Wu people also mentioned the clear text."

As she spoke, she motioned for Xiao Huangmen to hand the letter to Feng Yong.

It has been ten years since he came to Dahan, and Feng Yong has long been accustomed to everything here.

The only thing I am not used to is that the calligraphy is still like a dog crawling.

As for reading letters, there is no obstacle at all.

After Feng Yong took it and read it, he folded the letter again and smiled:

"I'm afraid that the Wu people are anxious when they see that my Han has regained Longyou Liangzhou one after another, so they want to inquire about the law of attacking the city in the army."

The content of the letter was a little unexpected for Feng Yong.

Because in his impression, Lu Xun never seemed to have been defeated in his life, but he didn't expect that there would be a day when he was forced to retreat by full favor.

Zhang Xingcai nodded:

"It's a possibility. It's just that this method of attacking the city is a secret in the army, and An can easily show it? ”

Feng Yong nodded in agreement:

"Not bad. Not long ago, the minister received a report from the mouth of the fine work, and the Wei thief Sima Yi was in Guanzhong Tuntian, and the cultivation used was an eight-ox plow. ”

"Before the Han Dynasty passed the eight-ox plough to Wu State, I never heard that anyone outside the Han Dynasty had this thing useful."

"Two years ago, in order to show his goodwill to Wu State, His Majesty gave the eight-ox plow to the Wu State, but I didn't know that the Wei State would immediately have the eight-ox plow."

"In the minister's opinion, this matter is inseparable from Wu Guoding."

Before the Han Dynasty recovered Longyou, as long as the two gates of Yongan and Hanzhong were closed, Shuzhong would become a world of its own.

If the imperial court deliberately controls it, even if someone wants to take the eight oxen plough out, it will be extremely difficult.

But with the Han recovering Longyou, the situation has changed.

As the eight-ox plough becomes more and more openly used, it is impossible for this thing to be kept as secret as before.

Coupled with the open alliance between Han and Wu, the relationship between the two countries has been in a honeymoon period in the past two years.

So the Han Dynasty made a favor and sent the Baniu plough to Jiangdong as a gift to strengthen relations with Wu.

Of course? Feng Tingshi in this matter? It's also a little selfishness.

Wu reclaimed wasteland in Jingzhou, if there were eight oxen and plows to help? Isn't it just the more you drive? The more sugarcane is planted?

But in general, is it possible for Wei to get the eight-ox plough from Wu? It is much more likely than stealing it from the hands of the big man.

Feng Tingshi's words? Is it realistic? It's not Heisun Wu.

Hearing Feng Yong's words, and seeing his calm face again, Zhang Xingcai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:

"I look at Mingwen, it seems that I have expected this for a long time?"

Feng Yong smiled slyly:

"The eight-ox plough that the Han gave to Wu Guo at the beginning? With the eight-ox plough used in the territory of the Han Dynasty? It's not all the same. ”

The eight-ox plough that Feng Yong originally took out was made of all-iron, and it was strong to use, but the iron required was also very large.

Huang Yueying tried to streamline it at the beginning, replacing non-critical components with wood.

Plus the application of this decade? Rich experience was provided for the improvement of the eight-ox plow.

Combined with the actual situation of the Han Dynasty, the Baniu plough has been improved in many versions.

Now Dahan has two cows, four cows, six cows and other styles? Different styles can be changed for different environments.

And the eight-ox plough given to Wu Guo? It is the original all-iron version.

Wei and Wu, one did not have a figure like Feng Yong, who attached great importance to improving the tools of production.

Two? Even if there is? There is no such influence as Feng Yong.

So this is destined for the two countries to use this stupid and crude version for a long time.

At this time, they are probably still worried about the iron material for the eight-ox plow.

Because if you take up too much iron to build an eight-ox plow? So what should I do if I don't have enough weapons?

Therefore, development is the last word.

For fear that the opponent will surpass him, he will not even dare to take out good things and use them, which is called cowardice and ignorance.

Taking away a few advanced technologies from Dahan, but without a social foundation to support the continued development of technology, will not change the overall situation at all.

The eight-ox plough requires a large number of iron tools and a large number of ploughing oxen.

Feng Tingshi established the ranch from the beginning, and then tried his best to improve the smelting method.

At the same time, year after year, a huge amount of money and grain has been invested to establish basic education, increase productivity, and improve the quality of the labor force.

This laid the foundation for this development to continue.

Or is it that one person or a group of people, even if the whole body is iron, how many nails can be hit?

If we don't want people to die, we need to develop social trends and social classes that can sustain policies.

And all this requires strong enough financial support.

The Han government could act as a guarantee for the ranch to lend a large number of cultivated cattle to the people.

Wei and Wu, which of them can do this?

It's not that Feng Yong looks down on them, and I'm afraid that the two countries may not even have enough cattle in the government's tuntian to pull eight oxen plows.

Hearing Feng Yong's explanation, Zhang Xingcai was immediately overjoyed:

"It turns out that Mingwen has already laid out this for a long time, and it is really far-sighted!"

But seeing Feng Wenhe said modestly:

"The queen praised falsely, in the eyes of the minister, the two kingdoms of Wei and Wu used eight oxen to plow, although it is beneficial to it, but it may not be harmless."

When Zhang Xingcai heard this, he quietly said a word in Adou's ear.

Adou hurriedly sat up straight, asked people to remove the leftovers, put on the hot soup again, lit the incense burner, and then arched his hand to Feng Yonggong:

"Please Feng Qing teach me."

That's the posture of the strategy.

Feng Yong glanced at Zhang Xingcai.

This is really the virtuous queen!

Thinking so in his heart, Feng Tingshi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sat up straight, and said:

"There are a lot of iron and oxen used in the eight-ox plow, but how many ordinary people can afford to use iron to plough the ox? In addition to the official Tuntian, the person who can also use the eight-ox plow is none other than the wealthy family. ”

"After the wealthy family gets this thing, they can open up more fields and accumulate money and grain. And the two kingdoms of Wei and Wu did not suppress Hao's right, and it was difficult to collect taxes and grain from Hao's right hand. ”

"The more land occupied by Jieshi Haoyou, the greater its momentum, and the two kingdoms of Wei and Wu, I am afraid that sooner or later they will be eaten by the wealthy family."

Zhang Xingcai nodded again and again:

"Therefore, the former Han Dynasty and the later Han Dynasty, and even the father of the first emperor, all had the move of suppressing the right of the Hao, which can be described as prescient."

Although the Later Han Dynasty was founded with the support of powerful landlords, there were also measures to restrict the powerful in the early stage.

Zhang Xingcai's sentence is not wrong.

It's just that because of the problem of the foundation of the founding of the Later Han Dynasty, it is destined to be unable to fundamentally restrain the powerful landlords.

So this is one of the reasons why Ji Han has always been wary of the wealthy family.

But seeing Zhang Xingcai, he asked again:

"According to Feng Qing, the two kingdoms of Wei and Wu have to plow with eight oxen, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the Han don't have to worry too much, right?"

"Back to the queen, the Han Dynasty has been promoting the eight-ox plough for ten years, how many places can use this thing now? Wei and Wu have only been in the second kingdom for a long time, so why worry too much? ”

Speaking of this, Feng Tingshi smiled strangely again:

Speaking of this, it reminded the minister. Although this siege method cannot be leaked out, the Han and Wu are allies after all. ”

"And this time the Wu State is also to attack the Wei thieves, how about the Han Dynasty support the Wu State with some weapons?"

Zhang Xingcai was slightly stunned: "Weapons? ”

Feng Tingshi nodded:

"Yes, it's a weapon. Hasn't Dahan started to replace new weapons in the army now? ”

"Why don't you sell the old weapons that have been replaced to Wu Guo and exchange them for more money and food for the Han Dynasty."

Nanxiang produces coal, and Nanzheng has the largest iron mine in Hanzhong.

Because of the improvement of smelting technology, the quality of the weapons produced by Hanzhong Metallurgical is greatly improved compared with the first year of Jianxing.

In the first battle of Xiaoguan, the soldiers of the Qiang's Captain's Mansion proved the superiority of new weapons with actual combat.

Take the most common weapon in the army, the ring-headed sword.

The style of the ring-headed knife of the foot soldier is very different from the saber of the light horse.

And the ring-head knife of the Qiang-guarding school captain's mansion is not the same as the old-fashioned ring-head knife before.

Not to mention the improvement in the quality of new weapons.

In the past, the ring-headed knives in the hands of ordinary soldiers were mostly made of thick iron.

Now, because of the emergence of coking coal and the improvement of blowers and water drains, the new ring head knife is equivalent to 30 refining starts.

Middle-level officers, that is fifty refinements.

A high-ranking general, each with a hundred refining knives.

After the Battle of Xiaoguan, the Han army began to systematically eliminate old weapons and replace them with standard weapons made in Hanyang.

In addition, the prime minister has implemented the policy of lean soldiers and military force in recent years.

It can be said that in the next battle of Guanzhong of Wei and Han, the Wei thief will face a Han elite army that is completely different from the battle of Longyou.

The manufacturing bureau led by Ame began to study and formulate the second-generation standard after completing the first generation of Hanyang-made standards.

Some of the eliminated weapons have been used to arm Hu Yi and form a volunteer army to fight with the Han army.

However, before the Battle of Longyou, the Han had more than 100,000 troops.

During the Battle of Longyou, many weapons were captured from the Wei thieves.

Coupled with the inventory of the arsenal, etc., the old weapons that have been eliminated are not a small amount.

If you really want to take it all for the Hu people, I'm afraid that Feng Tingshi won't be able to sleep well at night.

Let's go back to the furnace and rebuild it...... The cost is a bit high for the technology of this era.

It's better to sell it, not only to make money, but also to consolidate the alliance with Wu by the way, and get a good reputation.

Of course, what will Wu Guo do with this weapon at that time, it will not be something that the Han can control, right?

And the state of Wu had weapons, so there was surplus iron to forge eight-ox plows.

It's a win-win, a win-win affair.

Hearing Feng Tingshi's plan, even Adou had strange eyes.

is also a great man, and there are some things that Adou still knows.

I only heard him remind:

"That, Mingwen, I remember, there seems to be a shortage of food in Jingzhou in Wu State, where did they get the money and grain to exchange weapons with us?"

Although in the early years, because of the shortage of grain in Jingzhou, Lu Xun wrote to Sun Quan, suggesting that the generals in the army should be encouraged to increase their fields in Jingzhou.

The policy is a good policy, but there are more ideas from the people below.

The particularity of the military system of the Wu State, coupled with the strength of the family, a considerable part of the fields opened by those generals were planted with sugar cane.

After all, growing sugarcane is much more profitable than growing grain.

Of course, a certain turtle said that this is entirely due to the normal adjustment of the market, and has nothing to do with his intention to raise the price of raw sugar in the past few years.

As for the return of brown sugar after selling the raw sugar, that is the rule of the industry, and no one can find fault with it.

"Your Majesty, Jingzhou is short of grain, we have food! Jiangzhou is directly connected to Jingzhou, and it is also a place for grain production, so sell some grain from Jiangzhou to them. ”

Feng Tingshi said awe-inspiringly, "The two kingdoms of Han and Wu, since they are fighting thieves, they should help each other. ”

The little fat man still didn't turn the corner, and subconsciously said: "But Liangzhou ......"

"Over there in Liangzhou, as long as there is more food in Yueshan, it is enough! In two years, it will be self-sufficient. ”

Feng Yong hurriedly said.

Yueshan, Jiangzhou, and Hanzhong are all grain-producing places.

What's more important is that the current Shu family has been cleaned up properly, and the fertile Shuzhong Plain is finally going to become a grain production area controlled by the Han Dynasty.

With the transportation guarantee of Dongfeng Express, are you afraid that you can't ship it?

Although the food of the Han Dynasty is not very abundant now, as long as the Guanzhong is defeated, the Han Dynasty will have two kingdoms of abundance.

This kind of thing is that Gu is cheap and hurts the people, and it will really happen if you can't say it.

This is the concrete manifestation of the increase in productivity and the change in the relations of production.

Therefore, it is also advisable to prepare in advance.

Zhang Xingcai's eyes were shining, and he lightly held Adou's hand under the case, preventing the emperor from continuing.

Instead, she asked:

"Then according to what the text says, it's best for Wu to exchange jaggery for our weapons, yes or no?"

Feng Tingshi nodded:

"What the queen said is very true. If we directly say that Wu Guo will grow sugarcane, I can't say that they will still have concerns. ”

"But if we let them exchange raw sugar for weapons, and at the same time we can sell them food, so that they have no worries, then it will be done!"

In the future, there will be people who will continue to try to break through the red line of cultivated land.

There are even some well-known well-known figures who openly advocate abandoning the red line and opening up grain imports.

Not to mention the Wu State in this era, even if someone can see through it, whether Sun Quan has the ability to stop the Jingzhou family from growing grain and sugarcane is still a question.

Zhang Xingcai couldn't help but applaud:

"The clear policy is really clever! is the reincarnation of Guan Zhong, and that's it! ”

"The queen praised it falsely!"

Feng Tingshi said modestly.

It's not that he's clever, it's that he never dares to underestimate the greed of capital.

In ancient and modern times, the nature of capital has never changed in the slightest.

Zhang Xingcai shook his head and smiled:

"The Han Dynasty has such good ministers and tiger generals as Mingwen, why don't you worry?"

As she spoke, the Han Empress glanced at the palace people standing around her, and her face turned cold:

"Today, Your Majesty's discussion with the prince and the marquis is a secret of the country, if anyone dares to leak half a sentence, punish him! The three clans are degraded and will never be good! ”

All the palace people were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they all prostrated on the ground: "No! ”

Then the empress turned to Feng Tingshi again, with a smile on her face, and asked softly:

"Mingwen's policy with His Majesty this time, why don't you write it into a book, send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and ask the Prime Minister's father's opinion, what do you think?"

"It's all up to the emperor, cough, it's all up to Your Majesty."

Feng Tingshi hurriedly said.

I only heard that the queen seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be discussing with Feng Tingshi:

"It's just that this matter is very important, if you can establish a mutual market in Yong'an, and coordinate the management and ...... with Wu Guoyi City."

Damn, Adou saved the galaxy in his last life?

Liu Bei even picks his daughter-in-law's eyes, which is extremely vicious.

Feng Tingshi thought like this in his heart, and then suddenly remembered that the queen also had a younger sister, and his heart suddenly became balanced again.
