Sailing was quite boring, because Mrs. Wei Yue was about to give birth, Liu Yi gave his main boat to Wei Yue and his wife, and after leaving a few maids to help take care of it, he picked another mother and son boat to sit on.

"I can't imagine that Mocheng will also become a battleground!" Liu Yi lay on his stomach and carved the top of the wooden pillars standing on the side of the ship into wooden carvings one by one, and complained casually.

He didn't expect that Mocheng, which was originally used as a source of left and right to do arms business in the three kingdoms, has now become a place where Liu Bei and Sun Quan are at loggerheads.

Thinking about it, I am still a little afraid, if I really didn't vote for anyone at that time, and stayed in Mocheng, Cao Cao was defeated, and in the face of Sun Quan and Liu Bei's eyes, he really had the ability to remain neutral? Or is it in the midst of the war, and there is not even any scum left?

"Don't say that the sophisticated equipment produced by the Heavenly Workshop is the Mo City itself, I'm afraid no one can ignore it." Cui Zhouping sat beside Liu Yi, touched Wangcai's neck and shook his head: "It's okay to move all the people out now, but this land of Jingnan will also be a place for the Sun and Liu families to compete in the future." ”

"Isn't it time to unite the weak against the strong?" Liu Yi sat down, took the water bladder handed by Deng's mother, looked at Cui Zhouping and frowned.

"That's the truth, but who's strong and who's weak?" Cui Zhouping shook his head and said: "Besides, if Sun Quan thinks that he can easily capture Jingzhou, or if Liu Bei thinks that he can easily capture Jiangdong, the two are truly united, wouldn't it be easier to fight against Cao Cao?" ”

To put it simply, although everyone understands the truth, but persimmon picks soft pinching is also the same truth for thousands of years, and now Liu Bei can be said to be the biggest beneficiary in the battle of Chibi, but the foundation is initially set, not as stable as Jiangdong, Jiangdong can still tolerate Liu Bei, but if you really wait until Liu Bei takes Yizhou, as Cui Zhouping said, Liu Bei's power reaches its peak, and even when he can compete with Cao Cao, Sun Quan may not tolerate Liu Bei to continue to be strong.

In addition to this reason, there is also a problem that if Liu Bei is allowed to get Yizhou, Liu Bei can send troops from Jingzhou and Shuzhong to capture Xiliang, where Cao Cao's forces are relatively weak and the foundation is unstable, while Sun Quan has only one choice when he goes north, that is, to attack Xuzhou.

There is a flat river over there, and it is a place where Cao Cao has been operating for many years, there are not many cavalry in Jiangdong, and the hard-headed Sun Quan is here to gnaw, Liu Bei is here to pick Cao Cao's weakness, and no one will change it, is it really Jiangdong Junjie who eats white rice?

"Let's not talk about this, let's study the Eight Array Diagram sent by Kong Ming." Liu Yi rubbed his temples, politics is really not easy to play.

Zhuge Liang has already sent the eight array diagrams, but just looking at the array diagrams, Liu Yi is face is blindfolded, these days with Cui Zhouping learning, but also can only recognize the gossip, Qiankun Xun Zhenkan Ligendui represents the direction of the table and the corresponding natural elements, Liu Yi can figure it out, but Cui Zhouping as long as the gossip is combined, Liu Yi will be blinded.

"This has already told you, dry for the sky, so this Qiangua should be in the north, but the position you choose, the west and the north are near the water, so the upper and lower hills, for the Tianshui hexagram, and the west faces the water, here should also be set up water village, the main soldier Ge Qi, Bing Ge can be fire, is above the barrier and down the separation, water and fire are both good, should be arranged like this......"

Cui Zhouping took the array diagram, and then picked up the pen and sketched on the paper prepared by Liu Yi, and after a while, another eight-array diagram was formed, which looked similar to Zhuge Liang's eight-array diagram, but if you carefully distinguish it, it is completely another version, and there is no corresponding place.

Cui Zhouping said seriously, Liu Yi also tried his best to remember, and at the same time prepared all the equipment he prepared in his mind one by one, which also involves the power system of the entire city, must be with the help of water power, how to integrate into it, Liu Yi can't think of it for a while, if according to Cui Zhouping said, he needs to do at least eight power systems to drive the power supply of the whole city, but these eight power systems are not difficult to make, how to discharge, if according to Cui Zhouping, it will break the balance of the sixty-four hexagrams.

Cui Zhouping saw Liu Yi's brows tightened, and he didn't say more, just leaned on the side of the boat and said, "Since the gossip can't be done, why don't you try the five elements?" ”

"The Five Elements also have a formation?" Liu Yi looked at Cui Zhouping suspiciously.

"Not really." Cui Zhouping shook his head: "There are actually some battle arrays, but they are not static formations, I mean that it is built according to the direction of the five elements, and it may be easier to build it based on the number of five or five." ”

Liu Yi frowned, in fact, if you don't add a power system, gossip can also be done, but with the power system, it destroys the original gossip structure, Liu Yi's idea is that since the ornaments of Shenmiao, divine beasts, and demon beasts can have some strange attributes, if you build a city according to these easy numbers, can you also trigger some strange attributes?

Eighty-eight, five-five......

Liu Yi sighed, it seems that the study of this craftsman is inseparable from mathematics, and the theoretical system he has written is particularly strict about the accuracy of mathematics, so he still has to find time to study and study it well.

"Two gentlemen." Mother Deng came to the two of them with a food plate, put the food plate down and said, "When it's lunch time, the two gentlemen should eat something first." ”

"Sister-in-law Deng's food is delicious, it's a pity that there is no food and no wine!" Cui Zhouping held down Wangcai, who wanted to pounce up, and shook his head regretfully.

Mother Deng didn't answer, just smiled slightly, turned around and left for a while, and came over with another food plate, a pot of sake and two wine buds.

Cui Zhou thanked him with a flat chin, took the wine that was poured full of wine by Mother Deng, took a sip and looked at Liu Yi, who was still frowning and thinking hard, and said: "Don't think about this beforehand, what Bo Yuan should think about now is not the construction of the city, there is another problem that should be solved." ”

"What?" Liu Yi raised his head and looked at Cui Zhouping blankly.

"In this Dongting Lake area, the soil is soft and wet, not to mention building a city, it is not easy to build a house, has Bo Yuan ever thought about this?" Cui Zhouping looked at Liu Yi and asked.

"I've thought about it." Liu Yi nodded, took a sip of wine and said: "One is a purely wooden structure, and the bottom is supported by 3,621 solid logs, but in this way, it is very easy to catch fire. ”

The buildings of this era are mostly civil structures, and the city is built purely of wood, which is easy to catch fire, and it is really wartime, just like when Zhou Yu burned half of Chibi, once the fire came down, the entire city was afraid to be burned down.

In terms of fire prevention measures in this era, this kind of thing is difficult to eliminate, and there is no need for others to say that Liu Yi has already rejected this idea.

Cui Zhouping nodded when he heard this: "It seems that Bo Yuan has other plans. ”

Liu Yi nodded and said, "The other one is to dig deep!" ”

Liu Yi took a map of the shore of Dongting Lake, spent a place and said: "Dig the land in this area three zhang deep, build a dam to isolate the flood, build a city on this basis, the whole city is divided into two layers, and the bottom is used to reserve materials, which can save a lot of time, and the ground is a normal city, so that the city is stable, and a large number of materials can be stored, but it is ......"

Cui Zhouping knocked his head, looked at Liu Yi with a headache and said: "The materials consumed are very extensive, and with Boyuan's ability, I'm afraid it will be difficult to build a city in a year, right?" ”

Time is second, the most important thing is money, as long as the money is enough, recruit 10,000 people, it will definitely be able to be built in a year, but this idea is just to think about it, a team of 10,000 people will have to spend millions a day, and the money they brought, plus the income of the Zhao family, and then use Liu Yi's method in Xiakou to operate, it is already good to be able to support it for a month or two.

"It may not be impossible to build a city in a year, but the money spent ......" Liu Yi gestured: "Ten times more than the original." ”

If there are thousands of people, you can only hire people to dig the foundation of Sanzhang, which saves money, but the attributes are not very good, and it is top-heavy, and it cannot achieve the most perfect effect expected by Liu Yi.

"So, what is Bo Yuan going to do?" Cui Zhouping saw that Liu Yi had no distress in his expression, and knew that he already had an idea in his heart, so he smiled.

"Make money first!" Liu Yi looked at Cui Zhouping and said with a smile: "I have discussed with Brother Zizhong, the Mi family also has the intention of reorganizing the caravan, I am going to build a fishery, a farm for raising chickens, ducks and birds, a brick kiln, a wood yard, a textile factory and other large-scale places around this city site to provide a large number of items and then sell them to various places by the Mi family caravan, one to make money, and the other day after the city is built, it can also provide a livelihood for the economic industry of the city and the residents in the city, and the three can also provide enough materials for the future construction of the city, without other needs." ”

In these years, the economic foundation is still based on agriculture, and commerce is also carried out on this basis, these things that Liu Yi said are available in this era, but there are few such large-scale specializations, and even these words, Cui Zhouping has never heard of them.

"It seems that Bo Yuan is not ready to start construction this year?" Cui Zhouping looked at Liu Yi and smiled.

Liu Yi nodded: "Now is the busy season for farming, before the autumn harvest, these places will be opened, and construction can start after winter, so we still have time to improve the design of the city." ”

Cui Zhouping put down the grilled fish that only had fish bones left, nodded and said: "If it is really as Bo Yuan said, if this new city can be built one day, this land of Jingnan may become prosperous." ”

Although it is a large-scale construction, but according to Liu Yi's practice, making money by himself and then investing, it is not a waste of money and labor, and the time chosen is also the beginning of the construction of the city during the agricultural slack period, since he met Liu Yi, Cui Zhouping is the first time to see Liu Yi take something so seriously, and he began to look forward to the scene when this city was built.

"By the way, ma'am?" Liu Yi suddenly remembered something, and looked up at Mother Deng, as if he hadn't seen Lu Lingqi much in the past two days.

"Madame seems to be unwell, and has been resting in the cabin for the past two days." Mother Deng said with some concern.

"Discomfort?" Liu Yi stood up and apologized to Cui Zhouping: "I'll take a look." ”

"Go yourself." Cui Zhouping waved his hand, Liu Yi, who hurts his wife, seems to be a little too much in the eyes of people in this year, but in other people's own affairs, it is not easy for outsiders to intervene.
