Tuoba Liwei came out of the sweat tent, and it was not until he left that he smiled knowingly, his plan had succeeded.

At the beginning, I didn't think that I could make Bu Dugen and the Han turn against each other. In his opinion, Budugen was smarter than most Xianbei people, but he also had too many concerns and lacked the bravery of the steppe warriors.

The Tuoba Department is not strong enough, but he can rally more people to his side. You are still young, you can wait slowly until your teeth and claws are sharp enough before they are exposed.

Besides, as long as the gap is large enough and Xianbei is strong enough, then a full-scale war is also possible. You can take the opportunity to look for more and see if there are any powerful treasures......

These Budugen and Liu Tao don't know, Budugen only knows that the focus of the strategy at this stage is Kebineng. And Liu Tao didn't pay much attention to it when he found that Kebineng had not reacted.

So little by little, the new year arrived.

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

This is exciting news, the elderly represent the rich experience, and the children represent the hope of a nation.

For the rest of the premature deaths, there are only two problems to be tackled: the death caused by the difficult birth of pregnant women or even the death of one corpse and two lives; and early death due to malnutrition and disease.

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

In fact, it is not difficult to solve the former, which is to establish an obstetrics and gynecology department and invest funds every year to make women give birth more safely; But the latter will not work, unless the lives of the people are radically improved, which is the fundamental problem.

"The spring ploughing in Bingzhou will have to wait for more than half a month, but the spring ploughing in Sizhou is about to begin, and I hope the household department can supervise it well." Liu Tao looked at the household department.

"Yes!" Wang Yun also knew that this was a routine matter, so he issued a decree.

"Ministry of Industry, how is the glass burning?" After Liu Tao explained a few words, he began to ask the Ministry of Industry again. I handed over the telescope to the Ministry of Industry and told them how to burn the glass, and half a year has passed.

"Your Majesty, the problem of bubbles cannot be solved yet, and it is still being tackled." Su Shuang, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, hurriedly stepped forward and said.

If it is a traditional glaze, it is nothing to add colorful bubbles, and there is even a special saying of 'product bubbles'. But to make crystal clear glass, it's not that easy.

First of all, remove impurities, and then remove bubbles, then it is not so easy.

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

Calcium carbonate is good to say, stalactites and limestone are, can always be found. Liu Tao didn't know what ingredients the algae needed, so he was looking for someone to buy it, but it hadn't arrived yet. Trying to do it with other materials is obviously still in the exploration stage.

As a result, it has not been explored for the time being, but a variety of glass products have come out, and a batch of them has been sold at a more appropriate price to subsidize the research funds.

"However, the technique of polishing a telescope directly from a large piece of crystal has been successful!" Su Shuang then said.

Can't this guy finish his words in one sitting? Liu Tao complained a little, but overall it was not bad, at least there was a way to make a stable telescope.

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

"You can consider making smaller ones, such as making binoculars," Liu Tao thought about and proposed...... After all, in later generations, unless there are astronomical telescopes or something, most of them are mainly binoculars, and I don't know if it is for this consideration.

"This also, this can slightly increase the production of telescopes!" Su Shuang immediately replied excitedly when he heard this. If it is a double tube, then it is indeed not necessary to be so large, and such a natural crystal is also easier to find.

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

Later, if possible, each scout should be equipped with one, so that they can walk less and see farther things.

The shorter the path is taken, the faster the messaging will be. In this day and age, time is of the essence!

There is nothing to do in the Ministry of Rites, at most some rituals to worship the heavens or something. When the emperor ploughed in the spring, he would also take hundreds of officials to the fields to farm, as a manifestation of heavy agriculture.

Enko started the exam in the fall, and there is still more than half a year before the exam starts.

Then Zhu Jun still said that the army needs to be expanded, Liu Tao nodded to show that he understood, and began to expand the army after the summer harvest. At the same time, he asked Xun Yu if he could expand his enrollment by about 25,000.

"If the grain harvested in the summer reaches a predetermined value, then there is no problem." Xun Yu came out of the queue and replied, this number of 25,000 was just stuck on his preset safety point.

By chance, or ...... casually looked at Guo Jia, who looked the same...... Yes, that's the leak. Is it really careless to make friends, or just break up?

"The food security over there in Jizhou has been transported, right?" Liu Tao asked, last year he said that he wanted to buy grain, but later Yuan Shao investigated it strictly, so he planned to use the winter to secretly transport it.

That is, from the middle of last month, it should be transported anyway. It's just unfortunate that Liu Tao just remembered such a thing.

In order to transport safety, Liu Tao also used a few lucky scrolls in those days. At that time, it was really called lucky, and it was so lucky that after a treasure went around dozens of turns, it actually came into his hands......

Clover, Luck +10. That's the name of the treasure, a very ordinary four-leaf clover, but it never withers, and even then, it is still inconspicuous under normal circumstances.

The most unlikely treasure in theory ended up in his hands. Liu Tao even doubted that it didn't seem to be a strange thing to find a +20 lucky golden horseshoe when he found it.

"It has been safely put into storage, and the quality of the grain is also very good." Xun Yu replied that there was one thing he didn't tell Guo Jia about, just the number of this batch of grain. It was unexpected, and it wasn't planned in the first place.

I didn't expect the smooth transportation to arrive, so with this, strictly speaking, it is not a big problem to expand the enrollment of 40,000.

In terms of strategy, he is not as good as Guo Jia, but in terms of calculating, Guo Jia is still tender......

can't blame him for picking, it's just that Liu Tao often has some whims. Or there are so many accidents in this world, for example, Tuoba Liwei suddenly came over to provoke, and if he is not careful, he may have to start a full-scale war with Xianbei.

In the past, I only thought about domestic affairs, but now it seems that even the affairs of Siyi have to be taken into account. Well, this time Enko wants to recruit a few more people, and I always feel that the officials below have been squeezed a little bit recently.

No, Liu Tao squeezed him, so naturally he could only squeeze the officials below. Suffering is not something that he can bear alone......

The officials have the least problems, and they can use the least people to do the most things, and Liu Tao is not bad if he doesn't praise him, what problems can there be. If there are problems, they have all been cleaned up last year, and they can be stopped for at least a year or two.

There is nothing worth saying on the side of the Criminal Department, there is a military justice department on the side of the army, which is not under their control. Local security problems, most of those who conspire to cause chaos and plan to stir up trouble have just been taken away by the Jinyi guards.

Without this kind of guy, there would be no big mess. Occasionally, there are one or two cases of negligent or impulsive killing, which no country can avoid. Normal human beings, who doesn't have seven emotions and six desires?

Some of the local bandits were also defeated by the local garrison army, and the merchants walked everywhere unimpeded. In addition, the imperial court urged the local government to remove the more checkpoints, which was a commercial activity, which was also active by 30% compared with last year.

"How's the railroad going?" The six departments have already asked, and it is naturally the railway issue that Liu Tao is most concerned about, "In addition, the construction situation of Baiyun County will also be reported a little." ”

"The blacksmith team has already mastered the skills, and it will take time to mass-produce the railway. Fortunately, the laying of the railway is the last thing; The wood is drying in the shade, and the improvement of anticorrosive paint is also underway; However, the Chidao from Jinyang to Yunzhong, as well as the transformation of the Great Wall, have already begun. "Su Shuang is out of the ranks.

"In the clouds, the planned construction site of the city has been completed, and at present, only a fence has been built with timber, and it can be transformed into a city wall one after another when the manpower arrives. The main body of the city wall is made of the kind of sanhe soil given by His Majesty, which is a very good material, and if you can, I plan to replace the city walls in various places with this material in the future. Xun Yu added in the queue.

Especially in Luoyang and Chang'an, if you use Sanhetu, you may be able to raise the city wall to eight meters. If this material is also used in Hangu Pass, Tong Pass and Wuguan Pass, then the height can be further increased, and the defense power can also be better.

At least, don't worry about Nanyang saying that if you go north, you will go north.

In fact, now that Nanyang has been taken back by Liu Biao, it is said that it will not go north easily. At this time, after the restoration of Luoyang is completed, the capital can be moved to the past immediately.

What everyone knows, Liu Tao will naturally be clear, but he has never said that he wants to move the capital, and the ministers can only be helpless.

I don't know what's good about Jinyang, it's not as big as Luoyang, it's not as majestic as Luoyang, and the palace is small. Liu Tao can only work in the palace, and he has to leave the palace when he goes home. The house is just a very ordinary house, and the protective measures are worrying.

It's just that they don't know that Liu Tao likes this kind of feeling, going to work in the palace and going home when he leaves the palace. I don't have the feeling of being confined in the palace, and I can look at the people of the imperial city under my rule from time to time.

After returning home, with a tired body, enjoy the welcome of the family, and then spoil or reprimand the bear child, this feeling is very warm and comfortable.

"There are still a lot of things going on this year, and you Aiqing will continue to work hard!" After saying this, Liu Tao announced the dissolution of the dynasty.
