Yedu, Tongque Terrace.

Cao Pi was admiring a new snowfall, and his heart was relieved, unlike the usual snow appreciation, this time he was wearing a pair of brown crystal polished glasses.

The tradition of polishing crystal to make living utensils has a long history, Tian Xin got a crystal cup as a family treasure in his early years, and later collected crystals in many ways, and was not interested in gems, gold and silver, ivory, orbs, etc., except for crystals, and some strange amber.

Cao Pi sent some crystals over, and when his negotiating envoy returned to Yedu from Guanzhong, he also brought Tian Xin's return gift along the way, as well as the ashes and belongings of the middle and senior military officials of the Wei army.

Among them, the armor of Zhang Xiong, Xian Yufu, and Zhang Hu is also on the list of repatriation after being restored.

As far as the decisive battle in Guanzhong is concerned, these three people performed well, but their luck was not good, and they all died easily because of Wu Zhen's hesitation, and they were easily killed and overthrown.

Perhaps it was to kill people, or to express pity and respect, the armor of these three people was also returned to their respective homes by Cao Pi and inherited by their children.

Cao Piju looked far away, and could see the hazy scenery of many princes and princes' mansions in the city, and only felt that under the brown lenses, everything was so novel.

The snow is scorching to the eyes, and wearing brown glasses feels that the scene is much brighter, and I can't help but imagine the perspective of wearing sunglasses in summer.

Glasses were a matter of concept, and polishing flat glasses was almost the least difficult to process, and soon he would have ten or a hundred pairs of glasses of different colors, decorated with gold and silver.

As for the processing of magnifying glasses and the like, there are records of making ice mirrors to gather light and make fires in the "Huainan Wanbi Technique" by Liu An, the king of Huainan, and the by-products of metal smelting and ceramic firing include the by-products of impurities such as glass and yangsui.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was already Yangsui, which is a variegated glass that is polished into a magnifying glass and can concentrate light and make fire.

It's just that there is no such thing as glasses, Cao Pi is already preparing to make glasses on a large scale, and this thing is guaranteed to be as popular as folding fans in the middle and upper classes, and can make a lot of money.

The demand market caused by this trend is there, and if the royal family does not earn it, other families will also start to earn it...... There's nothing to be embarrassed about making money.

Yuyang has been in a better mood since the victory, and the glasses sent are equivalent to sending a luxury industry waiting to be developed...... As an emperor, he is also very short of money.

It's just that the affairs between the DPRK and China are becoming more and more intense, and it is faintly as if they have returned to five or six years ago, and many things can no longer be eased, and if all parties are unwilling to take one step back, take two steps back, and give way to a channel, then all parties will inevitably fight each other and fight a way out.

These years of war have proved that the original road does not work, and the Wei army's crowd tactics were deflated in Hanzhong, and they were almost pursued and annihilated by Liu Bei; The same is true of the decisive battle of Xiangfan, when the armies have not yet been integrated, Guan Yu attacked against the trend and caught Cao Ren off guard.

Later, during the decisive battle of Xiangyang, Cao Ren's elite was handed over to Niu Jin to attack Xiahou Lan's department, but it failed to break through here, so the Wei army on all lines was not good, and they broke away one after another.

Later, after the Xu Du Chinese Army and Guan Long reinforcements aided by Yu Ban and Pang De were flooded, the overall situation completely collapsed; If it weren't for Cao Ren's stubborn defense of Fancheng and the precious half a month, when Sun Quan asked for surrender and the Huainan 26th Army retreated to Yuzhou, otherwise the whole situation would have collapsed at that time.

The reason for all this lies in the lack of morale of foreign armies.

Not only the foreign armies under the tuntian system, but even some Chinese armies have similar problems. However, the families of the Chinese army live in the capital area, and the family property and personal rights of members are basically protected, so the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is relatively high.

And the combat effectiveness of foreign armies, which really cannot be counted on.

Many times, it is not that the generals lack courage, but that they really dare not fight.

Especially when facing Tian Xin, who is capturing the flag, any lord will be killed, and his subordinates will lose their restraint and quickly disintegrate and flee; Even in the end, it has reached the point where the generals cannot restrain and drive and lead the officials to confront Tian Xin.

Those who have constant birth have perseverance, and those who do not have constant production have no perseverance.

This is the fatal point of the Wei army, when it is impossible to intimidate the other side with the size of the army, when it is impossible to use the name of the Han court to unite the warlord forces to fight, only rely on the elite troops to fight...... Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren are role models.

Later Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang were also examples, and the vast majority of the grassroots officials of the entire Wei army did not have the enthusiasm to fight, and held a resistant, perfunctory attitude.

If the Han army is blocked in Yizhou, relying on the huge volume and the strongest population reproduction base, it can continue to tolerate mistakes and consume the backbone of the older generation of the Han army; As for Wu Jun...... Wei Jun had never looked at these rats squarely.

It's a pity that in the decisive battle of Xiangfan, which decided the fate of the world, the Han army swept the second army of Wei and Wu.

Then, the arrogant and careless Wei army ignored the internal problems and continued to fight with the Han army of the Northern Expedition, and they were all crushed.

Over the years, even if the monarchs and ministers of Wei had the intention to reform the malpractices, they were not fighting wars every year, but preparing for wars.

Up to now, there is already an external environment for reform, and whether to implement the reform and grasp the intensity of the reform are the key points of contention in the Cao Wei court.

Cao Pi couldn't hide for long in Tongquetai, and near the end, heavyweight courtiers went to Tongquetai one after another to express their views.

In this way, Cao Pi wore brown sunglasses to meet separately, but fortunately, the results were gratifying, Dong Zhao, Pei Qian, Fu Xun, Jiang Ji and others expressed their willingness to reform, the difference is only the scale.

The last to express his opinion was Liu Ye, who always looked far-sighted, and was very embarrassed when he saw Cao Pi.

Cao Pi was slightly surprised, took off his sunglasses and looked at Liu Ye: "It's hard to say, why is it here?" ”

"Your Majesty, when the society is in danger at this point, the minister does not dare not come."

Liu Ye sighed for a long time, hung his head for a moment, and then raised his head and said: "Sima Zhongda is planning for the country, and the government and the opposition have many attacks, and he compares it to the King of Xia, which is intended to slander. Zhong Da also knows that the military system is related to the country, and if it is changed, it will have the power to compete with the Han family, and if it is not changed, it will only die. At this time when the survival of the society is at stake, the minister is also deeply afraid. ”

Cao Pi put on his sunglasses again when he heard the words, and looked back at the dome of the main hall: "What are you afraid of?" Zhongda is also afraid...... But now, it has become sick into the skin, like a person's rotten sores, and it is difficult to live. ”

Seeing that the emperor had made a decision, Liu Ye immediately said in a resolute tone: "As Your Majesty has seen, you must not hesitate at this time of ruin." ”

Everyone is afraid of following the example of the government soldier system and producing another person similar to Tian Xin.

Take a look at Ji Han, who is like the rising sun, he was cut off by Tian Xin and blocked the main force of the Han army in Jingyi Erzhou.

If Tian Xin stuck Nanyang and did not let him go, and the Han court was not determined to fight a civil war, then the territory of Ji Han was very likely to be divided into five or six.

Naturally, the Wei State could not change the government soldiers, Sima Yi wanted to gather the border counties in the song, imitate the government soldiers and the Han servant system, and reform and establish a border town military system.

The biggest breakthrough point in the opposition between the DPRK and China lies in the loyalty to Sima Yi and the suspicion of the six towns of Youyun in the future.

Since the establishment of the six towns, Hu Feng will inevitably be blazing, and if Hu Feng cannot be suppressed, it will become a catastrophe.

Some old men of the Cao clan have already clamored for Sima Yi to be executed and severely punished...... But if it doesn't change, how many years can Dawei exist?

The low-level officials, do you still have the determination to continue to serve the Great Wei?

Is it the court minister who defends the Great Wei, or is it a stubborn official?

The reason is clear, but it is difficult.
