There were no accidents on the way back, and after going back, Liu Feiyun spent a lot of effort to pull Li Yu out of the shadows, at the cost of telling a lot of stories, plus some small toys, such as children's bicycles, building blocks, and so on.

However, the bike is relatively rough to make, which is a limitation of the process, and the production is very slow.

But this thing is good, it is very convenient for everyone to travel, especially for the members of the security department, patrols do not have to be too easy.

Regarding the encounter of this trip, Liu Feiyun also talked to Liu Shuhan, his opinions are similar to his own, and he is waiting to see what happens. However, Liu Shuhan added: "Feiyun, maybe the Ziyun Kingdom will really be in chaos soon, alas, it is still the common people who suffer." ”

Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer.

For this feudal era, the people are the most innocent group of people, fighting from above, and it is the people who carry out. It's okay to win, but if you lose, the final price to pay will come from the people.

Liu Feiyun sighed and said, "Anyway, let's live our own lives first, this situation is not something we can control." ”

"Furthermore, if the Purple Cloud Kingdom is really chaotic, then the Zhao clan will definitely be affected, and it will be interesting to see if the opportunity can kill him at that time."

Speaking of this, Liu Shuhan also nodded: "No matter what, the Zhao family must make him pay." ”

Time passed in a blink of an eye, and the war really happened. Although the cave passage was longer, it did not hinder their ability to find information.

Pingyang County, the two sides that were still looking at each other were evenly matched, but for some reason, it was lost in just a few days.

There was even more quarrel in the court, some of the main battles, most of the land reparations, hoping for stability and peace, and a small part of them were waiting and watching, the bigwigs were playing, and they couldn't stand in line blindly.

On the dragon chair, Lin Shanhe, the emperor of the Ziyun Kingdom, had a calm face, but his heart was extremely angry, Pingyang County was lost, although the army did not have much loss, and now it is stuck in Yunzhong County, but this is unacceptable to lose another county.

Moreover, Yunzhong County is close to Kyoto City, if he loses it again, it will either be the death of the country or the forced relocation of the capital, which is definitely not the result he wants.

However, the following group of people, eating the money they gave, but did not do a trace of it, and even betrayed the lord to seek glory, how hateful.

He wanted to behead these people directly, but now he couldn't do it, otherwise, the country would really be in chaos, and he would be a monarch who had lost his country, how would he face the ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan.

"Okay, what a noisy thing!" Lin Shanhe didn't want to listen to the noise of this group of people at all, he said: "Prime Minister, send someone to Xihao to see how they are willing to stop fighting." ”

"In addition, let the general Feng Wushuang defend Yunzhong County."

"General Wu, you will lead another 10,000 soldiers and horses to support Yunzhong County, and Yunzhong County cannot afford to lose." Lin Shanhe said to a general on the main battle side below.

"Well, we will live up to the king's heart and swear to defend Yunzhong County to the death." General Wu and other main battle factions shouted in unison.

On the other side, the main peace faction, mainly civil officials, several members of the family, and others who were worried about the war, saw Lin Shanhe make such a decision, and hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Your Majesty, think twice, you are trapped in danger, and the people are in fire, I hope Your Majesty will take back your life." ”

"I hope Your Majesty will take back your life."

"Presumptuous, everyone has come to the door, you are still so cowardly, do you really think that seeking peace can be saved? Yes this year, but what about next year? And the year after? There must be no compromise, or the kingdom will perish! ”

"Hmph, retreat!"

Lin Shanhe didn't want to listen to them here anymore, and at this time, what would this group of people do except for one mouth.

At this time, in the great court, several competitive princes who have reached the age are there, including Lin Yi, they see everything clearly, some of them don't know what to think about with their eyes flashing, and some of them leave directly after the dispersal of the court.

Lin Yi was the one who left directly, such a scene, he understood more clearly what Liu Feiyun said, the family is the moth and vampire of the country, and a country must still have the final say of the royal people.

"But is it really okay now?"

Looking at the group of people gathered together and whispering, led by the three major families, there was not much worry on their faces at all, and some were just accusations of disobedience to the Lin family.

For a time, there was an undercurrent surging under the empire, and the figures of people floated at the borders. If it weren't for this year's harvest, perhaps the world would have been in chaos at this time.

However, even if there is no chaos at this time, I believe that it will not be long before chaos is inevitable.

The country wants a big war, and the internal government is insufficient, so we can only find a way to make it up, and in the end, it can only come from the people, and the source of soldiers also comes from the people. But why should the people do this degrading thing if they are alive, unless someone does not let them live?

It seems that there is an invisible hidden hand that is pushing the people to change, fleeing, not having enough to eat, and people who fall into the grass and occupy the mountains abound. There are even some powerful people, because of the army of Xihao Kingdom, the emperor is far away, and he directly treats it coldly, and he has long had the intention of independence in his heart.

It became more and more chaotic, and the counties in the rear, which had not been affected by the war, also began to have discordant voices.

Liu Feiyun and others receive a lot of information every day, all about the changes in the current situation, especially the movements in the government and the opposition. Because of a slight bad decision, maybe the Purple Cloud Country will really be gone.

But if it's gone, it's gone, and he really can't control the people. At most, he sits firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, as long as this place is not exposed, it has nothing to do with him who is in charge of the world.

"Well, is there any progress?"

Today, Liu Feiyun entered the scientific research department that he hadn't been here for a long time to inquire about the situation. It is said that the scientific research department is developing rapidly, with the injection of Liu Feiyun's new ideas, a lot of research results have been produced, especially in terms of improvement, many use of water power, the use of wind power, instead of a lot of labor.

Of course, what Liu Feiyun came to ask today was not these, but the idea of the steam engine he gave. Ever since he got out of the bicycle, he's thought of cars, and even more so of the Industrial Revolution.

However, he was not very clear about the structure of the steam engine, only that it was possible to use heat to generate steam power. He did a little experiment to illustrate the general principle, boiling a kettle with coal, and the lid of the kettle would keep jumping. Let them study it accordingly and see if they can make something similar to a steam engine.

He came over today to ask about this, but the information he got made him very helpless.

The thing is made, but the effect is really not flattering, a one-person tall thing can only drive a palm-sized wheel to turn, and as long as a little resistance is given, it can stop.

Liu Feiyun was not disappointed, because this is a good start, nothing can be achieved overnight, and the steam engine is an epoch-making product, as long as this thing is created, the world will change greatly because of it.

He encouraged: "It's already good, as long as there are more improvements, so that the transmission is more dynamic and more effective, I believe that it will be successful soon, you have to have confidence." ”

"Don't worry, Gu Master, we will definitely make a steam engine that satisfies you, this thing must be made, and there may be a lot of manpower and material resources left in the future." Moyun Road.

"Well, I believe in you, work hard. But also pay more attention to rest, you are all treasures, who will create inventions and improve the living environment of the valley when you are tired. Liu Feiyun did not forget to care after encouragement, no matter what era, talent is very important.

Liu Feiyun stayed for a while and then went out, and met Liu Shuhan on the way, who was patrolling and passing by.

Liu Shuhan saw him coming out of the scientific research department, and said curiously: "Feiyun, that steam engine is really so magical, is there any progress?" ”

"There was a little bit of progress, but it still didn't get the effect I wanted." Liu Feiyun shook his head.

"It's okay, it's so easy to get something so powerful." Liu Shuhan comforted him, and then he also said with some expectation: "If it is really as you imagined, in the future, there will be no need for animal power to cultivate the land, and there will be no horses and other things to travel, and there are many tasks that can be completed by only a few people, which is amazing!" ”

Of course, it's magical, and it's even more magical, if it develops to the level of modern times, in your eyes, it is absolutely omnipotent.

It's a pity that this is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time, Liu Feiyun smiled and said, "You can see it, don't be surprised when the time comes." ”

As the days passed, the situation outside became worse and worse compared to the harmony in the valley. The people of the Ziyun Kingdom were panicked, because they had been defeated again, and this time they were completely defeated.

Before the army of the general Wu of the imperial court could support, the county town of Yunzhong was broken, and the general Feng Wushuang was found dead in the mansion, and the cause of death was unknown. In the night the gates were opened again, and there was no resistance, for resistance was death.

The people of Xihao are very wise, as long as they don't resist and treat the captives preferentially, you can put some food for you to go home, or you can join Xihao and treat everyone equally. This gave the soldiers hope for life, and it seriously undermined the morale of the Ziyun Army.

In fact, in the feudal era, the people didn't care about what dynasty they had, they only cared about the monarch who was good to them.

This time it was directly under the city, and the city of Kyoto had lost its former prosperity, except for the troops coming and going, the people were either hiding in their own homes, or had already fled far away.

"Your Majesty, move south, stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood." Many of the lord's civil officials began to admonish again, and some military attachés followed, and some of them also proposed to cede all the northern territories and pray for the kingdom of Xihao to stop the city of Kyoto.

"Huh." Lin Shanhe sneered, what a group of damn moths, they know all day long that they are fighting for power and profit, and when it comes to the rise and fall of the country, everyone is a waste.

Lin Shanhe will never retreat, he has no way to retreat, to the point where he retreats, if he retreats, there will be no hope for the Ziyun Kingdom.

However, his children had already been secretly sent away by him, and the bloodline of the Lin family must be preserved, so that there is hope of recovering the country in the future.

"War, I live and die with Kyoto City."

Lin Shanhe's resoluteness was admired by everyone, but how many of them were just physical movements, but they already had other plans in their hearts.
