Chapter 968: Gains and Losses
There are many people of insight in the world, and Yuan Shu's actions are all seen by them.
The continuous natural disasters at the end of the Han Dynasty have come to an end, and the world has been peaceful. Yuan Shu's move to sacrifice the fortunes of the country and become a nation, his open-mindedness is really admired by countless people.
The Han Dynasty has been a scholar for hundreds of years, and some people of insight who are deeply influenced by Hanen still have their hearts set on the Han family, because their thinking and will have long been implemented and are difficult to change. Although Yuan Shu won the hearts of the people, and although Da Chu was the trend of the times, they were still unwilling to help.
Liu Bei played the signboard of the Han Dynasty and went to the Western Regions to order the Han Dynasty. Some of them followed, but only in the minority. After all, it is difficult to stay in the homeland, and is the Han family established by Liu Bei in the West still the Han family?
The vast majority of the people who went to the Han Dynasty chose to live in seclusion, or travel the world, or hide in the mountains, or build two thatched houses to teach and educate people, or plough in the acres of Longmu. Even if they have been with the mountains and forests for this life, they can't get over the hurdle in their hearts and go out of the mountains to help Chu.
But when Yuan Shu's heart and spirit were really implemented to such an extent, they were really shaken.
Yuan Shu's deeds are well-deserved, and he can be called a world-minded and immortal saint.
No amount of rhetoric has anything tangible to shake people's hearts. What China Dingding is not only the land under the feet of the Han people, but also the hearts of the people.
There are so many hermits in the world, although many are old and successful, there are still many people with strong hearts. After Dingding, they who had planned to spend their lives in the mountains went out one after another.
Yuan Shu gave up the country for the world, and they should return it for the people of the world.
There are many withered and honored, and the gains and losses are difficult to measure. Yuan Shu gave up half of the country's fortunes, but in exchange for the "people's heart" of the world. The traces of the Great Han were also completely erased within the Great Chu, and everyone accepted the result of the Han Dynasty of the Chu Dynasty. But in terms of morality, the Great Chu Dynasty is well-deserved.
As the top figures in the world, Pang Degong and Sima Hui, who taught at Lumen Academy, realized what was happening immediately.
"Bang!"
The chess pieces landed on the chessboard, and the game that was supposed to be won suddenly became more variable. However, the two people who played chess were not here, and each had their own thoughts.
"Is it worth it if the chess falls here?" Pound spoke publicly.
"What do you think?" Sima Hui had no intention of regretting the move, and smiled.
"Bang!"
The white pieces in Pang Degong's hand fell, and he captured a large piece of black chess, and the crisis was solved.
"Why bother yourself when you have to win?"
Sima Hui was not in a hurry, and fell again: "I have played countless games with you, although there are many wins and few losses, but most of them are small wins." Even if you win a few more games, what's the point, why don't you gamble on this good situation and seek a big victory. ”
"The chess game is only divided into winners and losers, what is the difference between winning more and winning less?"
"The chess game is only a momentary game, but the world is the world of eternity. What's wrong with a momentary loss in exchange for a thousand-year-old opportunity? ”
Pang Degong was silent, his eyes focused on the chess game.
After a long time, the chess was a foregone conclusion, and black won a big victory.
Pang Degong stared at the few white pieces left on the chessboard, and sighed: "I lost." ”
"It's just a momentary victory, what's there to sigh." Sima Hui said casually: "It's a pity that I am old and old, if I am twenty or thirty years younger, I also want to go down the mountain to meet this peaceful and prosperous world for a while." ”
"If we live in the mountains, why can't we be a part of it? Our disciples will witness this prosperity on our behalf. "Pound is fair.
"You're not going to take those bootleggies to the coffin?" Sima Hui stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"If it is not prosperous, these things will be passed down and will be harmful. But now, all the sons and hundreds of schools have reappeared, so I'd better leave these things behind. If you find one or two disciples to pass it on, it will not be in vain to pass on the teachings of your ancestors. ”
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. Yuan Highway's words are really atmospheric. But with the ink in his belly, he probably didn't say it. ”
"He's just a kid, how can he say such words."
"yes. However, the rogue can still be the king, and the son of the gentleman may not be able to become a saint. Such a willful and arrogant emperor is actually not bad, at least he can do what he says. Sima Hui looked ridiculous.
Pang Degong laughed loudly when he heard this: "Yes, this guy has the best face and acts arbitrarily." He had promised to do what he had promised no matter what, and he deserved it. ”
……
At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry and other departments also began to build water conservancy facilities in various places.
Keel waterwheels, water drains, water mills, hydraulic forging hammers, etc., have been rolled out on a large scale.
What Da Chu lacks now is not money and food, but manpower. In order to better save manpower, in this era of relatively backward conditions, water power has become the first choice.
Whether it's processing food, building ordnance or irrigating farmland, when you're in a hurry, take a look at hydraulics.
The flood disaster has been reduced, and the water flow of rivers and ditches in various places is gentle, which is suitable for the construction of water conservancy and the development of water power.
Da Chu's weapons and armor are constantly being studied and improved, and under Yuan Shu's suggestion, the cold forging technology and plate armor have made considerable progress.
The mass construction of hydraulic hammers can significantly save labor costs, freeing up more craftsmen and greatly reducing the cost of weapon manufacturing. Today's Da Chu has begun to try to manufacture plate armor in batches.
In fact, compared with plate armor, the protective power of double-layer armor is not much worse, but it can't stand the plate armor lightly. With the same protection, plate armor is much lighter, which is more conducive to combat.
Originally, in actual combat, only the strong men in the army could withstand the double-layer large armor, if all of them were replaced with plate armor, even ordinary soldiers could wear them, which made it possible to popularize it on a large scale.
Of course, the current plate armor technology is not too mature. How to better forge, save costs to popularize, and how to design the shape of the plate to make it have the greatest protection and be flexible enough.
Yuan Shu did not hesitate to set up a research institute for this purpose, which was constantly tried and designed by skilled craftsmen including the Mo family and the public losers, and by the way, he also sorted out most of his knowledge of physics and some ideas and suggestions.
If plate armor is the strongest shield in the army in Yuan Shu's heart, then the repeater and the hard crossbow are the strongest spears.
This world is not the afterlife, and the rules of the world seem to be different. The power of gunpowder was much smaller than Yuan Shu's impression, and things such as cannons and explosives bags became delusions, and they could only be reduced to tools for opening mountains and rubble, so the crossbow became a substitute for the "gun" in Yuan Shu's heart.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, all kinds of strong crossbows and crossbows, and the divine arm crossbows of the Song Dynasty in later generations, these are all sharp weapons.
Yuan Shu has always had a preference for long-range attacks, especially ultra-long-range strikes. Like the shooting battalion of the Han dynasty in the past, as long as they learn to ride horses and have proper tactics, this unit can strike at the enemy without injury, and it is completely like a scoundrel.
However, the training of archers was not a day's work, and the wealthy Yuan Shu hoped that all foot soldiers could also have the means of long-range attacks, so he constantly ordered people to develop strong crossbows, and constantly improved them in terms of range, burst fire, and lightness, in order to complete it.
At the beginning of the world, Chu Ding was newly established, and today's Great Chu needs to recuperate for a period of time to gather the national strength within the territory and restore the national fortune that has been greatly damaged. In the case of few wars, Yuan Shu's focus was naturally on ordnance and people's livelihood.
