This war is not only catalyzing the progress of medical technology, in fact, all technologies are making great strides because of this war.

For example, the largest coal mine in Chang'an, in just a few months, this coal mine has been completely different from the coal mine in everyone's impression in the past, only to see large and small wooden carts shuttling back and forth, or pulling with animal power, or pushing with manpower.

"Auntie! This kind of track is really easy to use, and it has improved our delivery efficiency by several times. Yuan Xiu looked at this brand-new transportation track, and he was very excited.

Yuan Peony also smiled and nodded, his eyes flashing with joy.

Yuwen Xiumi hahaha: "The invention of our Yuwen car dealership, can it be bad." Nowadays it is still a wooden track, and if it is replaced with a steel track, it will definitely be more efficient. ”

Yuan Peony said: "Then you have to mine enough coal and iron ore first, and you invent a steam car, otherwise, it is really not cost-effective to use steel rails." ”

In fact, they first produced steel tracks, a total of ten zhang, divided into two sections, and then equipped with special wheels, found that the efficiency is indeed improved a lot, but at the same time the cost is also huge, the cost is too high, the current situation, it is impossible to mass production, there are some difficulties in technology.

But it has been proved that this is indeed feasible, Yuan Peony boldly uses the traditional wooden track, and uses scrap iron to reinforce, the cost is greatly reduced, and the efficiency of production is extremely fast, the Central Plains really has no shortage of carpenters, but there are shortcomings, that is, it is very easy to break, wood staying power is still not good, but Yuan Peony does not always plan to use wooden tracks, she just wants to quickly mine a large amount of coal and iron, first get through this difficulty, and then slowly replace the steel tracks.

East Palace!

Wu Meiniang sat on the couch, her beautiful eyes were lightly closed, and her eyebrows were full of sadness, and she was also tired.

After a while, I saw Qin Minghe, the chief physician of the imperial doctor, coming out of the inner room.

Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes widened, and she hurriedly asked, "How is the situation of the prince?" ”

Qin Minghe hurriedly said: "Back to the queen, the prince only fell ill because of excessive sadness, but there is no big problem, but the prince's physique is weak, and he must be meditated and recuperated, in case the evil qi invades, the consequences can be big or small." As he spoke, his face was filled with guilt.

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "You remember, Your Majesty's affairs must not be revealed, otherwise, the army's morale will be in chaos, and Datang will be in danger." ”

"Wechen understands, Wechen understands."

"You have been staying in the East Palace to take care of the crown prince recently, and the prince can't lose anything more."

"Wechen obeys."

At this moment, a palace lady walked in and said, "Empress Qiyu, Hubu Zhang Shilang asks to see you." ”

Wu Meiniang immediately got up and walked out.

Qin Minghe sighed lightly and said, "It's really bitter for the queen!" ”

Wu Meiniang came directly to the Liangyi Palace.

"Wechen see the queen."

"Excuse me!"

Wu Meiniang sat down and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "Empress Qiyu, our money has been almost spent, but the current battle situation is still very anxious, and it may not be over for a while, Weichen thinks we have to take precautions." ”

When Wu Meiniang heard this, a look of joy flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "How long can you hold on?" ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "Judging from the current consumption rate, if the imperial court still wants to stabilize the grain price in the market and not rise, and not counting the existing grain on the front line, then the money we have left can last for three months at most, oh, if the grain from Shangzhou and Yuanzhou can arrive on time, it can be increased by one or two months." ”

In fact, the Tang Dynasty has not used all its strength, not to say that all the grain is used for war, Han Yi has always demanded that the price of grain cannot rise above fifteen cents per bucket, and must stabilize the operation of the country, but this time the logistics of the imperial court, even the possibility of less labor, is purely to use money to operate, although 50 million guan is an astronomical number, but the consumption is also very fast, the key is that there are wars everywhere, the grain of the government cannot be concentrated, Shandong and Shu are all grain producing areas, but it is impossible to transport the grain, Because there's a war on their side, too.

Wu Meiniang pondered for a while and said, "In this way, the grain of Shaofu will be used as military food." ”

Zhang Daxiang said: "How can this be done, Shaofu's grain is to maintain the forbidden army of the Beijing Division, if the forbidden army has no food, there may be a mutiny." ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Guarantee their food for three months, and all the rest will be used as military rations, including our rations." ”

Zhang Daxiang was surprised: "What should you do about the queen?" ”

Wu Meiniang said: "I still have some family business and some jewelry, I will let people sell them, so that I can last for some time." ”

Zhang Daxiang was very prejudiced against Wu Meiniang, but at this moment, he was in awe, and he would rather sell his property and send his rations to the soldiers on the front line, rather than forcibly requisition food from the people.

That's really nothing to say.

Han Yi's logistical strategy is to buy it with money and resolutely not forcibly requisition grain. To maintain this system, we must find a way to get money, not find a way to exploit the people.

After Zhang Daxiang left, Wu Meiniang suddenly took out a letter from her arms, but saw that it was written, when Zhang Daxiang came to tell you that the logistics were tight, it also indicated that the war was about to end, and you could sell your family business without scruples to increase your prestige. There is another sentence at the end, anyway, you have glass in your hand, and your little family business is just a drop in the bucket.

"I'd like to see how quickly you can end this war." Wu Meiniang gritted her teeth.

She has really been led by Han Yi's nose, she can't resist, and she doesn't have the guts, although she has powerful political means, but she can't fight, this enemy comes in, she just dies, at this time she can only believe in Han Yi. But the problem is that she can't see the end of the war at the moment, and now she is still being pressed and beaten by the enemy, even if the tide of the war is reversed, it is impossible to end the war so quickly.

......

......

Liangzhou.

Chubby Group.

Brother Xiong sat in the room, his little eyes rolling rapidly, looking left and right, as if he was a little anxious.

I saw that there were several young people about his size sitting beside him, each of them holding a small piece of earthy pastry.

"This is truly a delicacy!"

One of them nodded abruptly and praised.

Brother Xiong said excitedly: "Is it really delicious? ”

"Delicious! Delicious! When cheese is added to this scone, the taste is even more mellow. ”

"Really? Then I'll try a piece too. ”

"Little fat brother, why don't you eat it just now?"

"I'm afraid it won't taste good. Hehe! ”

Brother Xiong hurriedly picked up a piece, bit off most of it, and said while eating, "It's delicious, it's delicious." It's really delicious. ”

"This cake is not only delicious, but it can also be preserved for a long time, and the soldiers on the front line will definitely like it."

"And there is also the smell of cheese that the people of the Northwest love to eat." Brother Xiong was overjoyed, and said, "Let people make some for the children in the city to taste now." ”

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

"That's right! Little fat brother, what is this cake called? ”

"What else can it be called, of course it's a little fat cake!"

"Hey, hey!"

This is Brother Xiong's latest development of the cake, in fact, it is a biscuit.

This war is coming, the food that can be kept for a long time is the most important, the little fat group has actually been developing this kind of food, during this period, he will be his little fat cake, continue to improve, the result is to develop biscuits, which also added some candied fruit, dried fruit, he is delicate, but also considering that the people in the northwest like cheese, so he added dairy products into it, the result tastes better, which can also save a lot of food.

Because the prices of dried fruits, candied fruits, and dairy products in the market are all plummeting, and they have long since fallen past the price of grain.

In this world, only Brother Xiong has always lived in the law of "good intentions are rewarded".

In short, this war is catalyzing all great strides forward.

......

......

Dafei River.

"Ugh......."

Zhao Zhiman entered the big tent, and sighed heavily.

Su Dingfang hurriedly asked, "How is the war in the north?" ”

Zhao Zhiman said: "Originally, General Xue and General Ashina were north of Shicheng and cut off the retreat of the enemy's main force, but I never thought that Qinling would send several small-scale troops to pass through Qilian Mountain from that mountain stream trail, interfering with our army's logistics in the rear, forcing General Xue to retreat, which is really a failure." ”

Su Dingfang stared at the map on the table, and said with a worried expression: "This move of the enemy army is really very powerful. As he spoke, he pointed his hand to the map and said: "Although the border between Tibet and our Tang Dynasty is blocked by mountain ranges, and the army cannot pass through, even if it passes, this food cannot be supplied, but if the enemy army continues to send such small-scale troops to interfere with the logistics of our army, this is also very tricky, and they can still enter our Central Plains from the east to harass." ”

The advantage of this terrain is also difficult to reverse in a powerful commander.

Zhao Zhiman sighed and said: "Now that our army is on a par with the enemy, no one can destroy anyone in one fell swoop, it seems that it is very difficult to achieve a quick victory." ”

Almost all the tactics in the world today are being performed in the northwest, and at the same time a lot of new tactics have been developed, which is not one side defending, one side attacking, both sides are attacking each other, you outflank me, I counter outflanking you, you attack my rear, I attack your rear, what towns, what key passes, have become a gimmick, both sides just want to destroy each other's main force, have burned each other's grain and grass, and both sides are all cavalry, the frequency of battles is very fast, dazzling.

Su Dingfang sighed and said, "But I'm old, otherwise I ......." ”

Zhao Zhiman looked at Su Dingfang in surprise.

Su Dingfang knew that he was speechless, and coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, this battlefield is actually the battlefield of all military generals' dreams, if Su Dingfang is ten years younger, he will not stay here, and said: "It seems that we have to wait for Shang Shuling to make a move!" ”

Zhao Zhiman asked, "By the way, where did Shang Shuling go?" ”

Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "It seems that I went to Qinghai Lake for a cruise." ”

“......！” Zhao Zhiman almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood.

......

Qinghai Lake.

The lake is surrounded by rippling blue waves and algae flowers. The lake is surrounded by green hills, dense trees, gurgling water, and the occasional majestic wind, which makes the lake surface flood with a charming light wave, and the windmills reflected on the lake surface are momentarily gathered, sometimes scattered, sometimes expanded, and sometimes shrinking.

A pleasure boat floats aimlessly on the surface of the lake.

"Madame, is the view beautiful?"

Han Yi sat on the deck, cuddling to a beautiful woman, leisurely looking at the scenery in the distance.

Chen Shuo really glanced at him angrily, and said, "At this moment, you are still thinking about pulling me here for a cruise." ”

Han Yi said: "Otherwise, there is nothing to do!" ”

Nothing to do? The commander-in-chief of these three armies deserves it. If it weren't for his husband, Chen Shuozhen would probably kick this guy down, it's really hateful, and said, "Do you remember the night we fought to the death in Meihe?" ”

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Of course I remember!" ”

Chen Shuozhen said: "If I am not mistaken, we had an argument at that time about whether it was wrong for me to raise troops to oppose it. ”

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, and said, "You want to sarcasm me for being very hypocritical, I knew about you at the time, but now I am even more crazy than you." ”

Chen Shuozhen shook his head and said, "I'm not sarcastic about your ....... ”

"You don't need to take care of my feelings." Han Yi shook his head and said: "Because this is the case, I will not deny all this, and I also know that after I die, these lies of mine will sooner or later be found by future generations, and they will even be nailed to the pillar of shame, because there is no eternal lie in this world, and a lie is always a lie, and it cannot become an eternal truth." ”

Chen Shuozhen said: "In that case, why do you still do this? ”

Han Yi was silent for a while, shook his head and sighed: "In fact, under so many lives, no matter how righteous the reason is, it will only make me more hypocritical, I don't want to explain all this, but I have to do it." ”

Chen Shuozhen groaned for a while and said, "Actually, there are still some differences between us, and they shouldn't be very different. ”

Han Yi looked at her with an inquiring gaze, "How do you say this?" ”

The corners of Chen Shuozhen's mouth raised a self-deprecating smile, "First of all, I am doomed, and you may succeed, but if this is the case, I think what I have done is still meaningful, because I can still sound the alarm for the imperial court, this water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat." It's a pity that I also wanted to be emperor later, and you don't seem to have that idea. This is the most important difference, if anyone fights for the throne, in the end everything becomes meaningless. ”

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Why didn't I find out, you are so good at comforting people." ”

Chen Shuozhen smiled and said, "You are so thick-skinned, how can you need someone to comfort you!" The reason why I bring this up is to ask you, can this war be ended sooner? If you drag it any further, you may have variables. ”

"At this point, there is no way to change anything." Han Yi smiled confidently, and said: "But this war was initiated by Qinling, and naturally it must be ended by him. However, I'm looking at it soon! ”
