Sima Hui returned to Jingzhou, and the next time they see each other, I believe that he will definitely bring back a large number of Jingzhou celebrities, these people continue to stay in Jingzhou now, which will only bring disaster to the family, this is already their consensus, so going out to teach has become a very good excuse, even Liu Biao can't say anything.

Yuan Yun was not too worried about the affairs of Jingzhou, he was now thinking more about the attack on Yecheng launched by Cao Cao in October this year, according to historical records, this crusade finally ended with Yuan Shang's timely return and Cao Cao's withdrawal.

If we follow this timeline, Luoyang's food problem will probably fall into a food shortage next year, and when this situation occurs, I am afraid that Luoyang will be disintegrated in an instant, because no one will stay in a city without food.

The Yecheng Raid must be won!

Yuan Yun muttered like this, if under the cover of Cao Cao's army, even if Yuan Shang still has the size of an army of 200,000 now, the gunpowder army is still confident in priing through the defense of Yecheng.

Once Yecheng is broken, then the Yuan clan will lose the last barrier in the north, and can only retreat to Youzhou according to history, once they retreat, then a large area of land in the north will be controlled by Cao Cao, so that the grain trade can be launched.

Yuan Yun decided to return to Xudu, Cao Cao must have begun the pre-war mobilization at this moment, and at this time he must understand his own strength, so he must be present to participate.

Before returning to Xudu, Yuan Yun also needed to inspect his territory again, Luoyang City.

Watching the laborers shouting and constantly transporting cement and masonry to the construction site, the corners of Yuan Yun's mouth naturally smeared a smile, so that everyone has a day to work and eat, and everyone will not think about something that they don't have, such as being instigated by people like Zhang Jiao.

But Yuan Yun still saw something discordant, that is, some gray-robed monks were also shuttling between the construction sites, reciting scriptures and distributing tea from pots to the laborers, and the laborers were also very friendly to these monks.

"Who let these monks into the construction site?" Yuan Yun asked Ma Jun.

Now Ma Jun is the general responsible for the construction of the construction site, so he is basically taking care of the things on the construction site, and it is right to ask him if he has doubts.

It's just that Ma Jun was also stunned when he heard Yuan Yun ask, and he didn't understand what was wrong with this matter, it was just some monks distributing tea.

Arching his hand slightly, Ma Jun replied: "This ...... These monks just give ...... on the construction site Give the laborers some tea to relieve fatigue, there is ...... Sometimes some treatment is given to the injured, small ...... The small ones allowed them to enter the construction site. ”

Yuan Yun watched as the monks handed the tea bowls to the laborers, and naturally folded their hands and kept saying something to the laborers.

Such a scene suddenly made Yuan Yun puzzled for a while, if it was just a verbal declaration of the Buddha's name, there was no need to say so much, right?

Also, almost every monk is doing the same thing, always after bringing tea, he will put his hands together and explain a few words to the laborers, who will nod their heads as if they are agreeing to something.

When Yuan Yun approached a monk who was talking, he only heard the monk say to the laborer: "Amitabha, the donor has a break from work this time, and you can visit the White Horse Temple outside the city. ”

Bless your sister, it turns out that these monks are advertising, and they are doing these shit in Lao Tzu's land, which is worth it, although Buddhism is not prosperous now, but it has developed unusually strongly, and even became the largest usury and land owner in Chinese history, and there is no need to pay taxes.

In this era of relying on copper to calculate money, their practice will directly lead to a shortage of money, and then make prices rise, and after a long time, the seeds of disaster will be planted.

"It must be strangled in the cradle!"

Yuan Yun muttered a sentence, and then did not hesitate to order the soldiers to start expelling these monks, and was about to issue a strict order that these monks would not be allowed to enter and leave the construction site and workshop in the future, but he was moved in his heart.

Although Buddhism is not a lot, but their ability to stabilize the people is very powerful, this is not admirable, now Luoyang is full of mixed displaced people, because of the complexity of the ethnic group, so many contradictions are gradually sharpened, now it is just covered by the light of the rise of Luoyang, sooner or later there will still be a disaster.

If Buddhism can make the laborers of these construction sites and the workers in the workshops less angry, even if it is the greatest help to the ruler, and now the ruler of Luoyang is not him Yuan Yun, this advantage still has to be taken advantage of, as for those harms, as long as the rules are strict enough, I don't believe that these monks can turn the world upside down.

After thinking about it, Yuan Yun smiled and said to a few monks who were about to leave: "It's not impossible for you to come to the construction site, but go back and let your host go to the official office to apply for the documents first, otherwise it's not a matter for idle people to run around." ”

Those monks originally thought that it would be impossible to come here to preach, but now they found that there was still hope, and they all smiled happily, and they put their hands together and proclaimed the Buddha's name, promising to go back and let the host go to the government to make up the paperwork.

Seeing those monks leave happily, Ma Jun asked with some surprise: "Lord, didn't you plan to ban these monks from entering the construction site, why did you suddenly change your mind again?" ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said: "It's just a little flexible, these monks use it properly, but it's a very good tool, we can't waste it in vain." ”

Ma Jun was still a little puzzled, and then asked, "Lord, you are not a ...... of the Daomen"

Yuan Yun was stunned, and immediately waved his hand to interrupt: "I didn't say that I am from the Daomen, I am from the scientific side, haha." ”

After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Ma Jun, who looked confused, turned around and got on the frame, and then poked his head out and said to Ma Jun: "The foundation of the palace wall is preserved, there is no need to demolish it first, it is estimated that we will have to rebuild it sooner or later." ”

Ma Jun snorted, and then watched Yuan Yun's frame fly away, still thinking about what kind of sect 'science' was, as if he had never heard of it in the past.

Yuan Yun sat in the frame, thinking in his heart that Monk Zhiliang would inevitably visit in person, but at that time, it was estimated that he had returned to Xudu, and he couldn't find himself, so he could only honestly go to the government to apply for documents.

This is not for him Yuan Yun to put on a show, but to let Zhi Liang clearly know that there is no back door to go, if Buddhism wants to develop in Luoyang, then it must follow the rules, and let him clearly understand that the regime in Luoyang must be above his Buddhist power, otherwise the White Horse Temple will be difficult to move in Luoyang.

Xiao Liu drove the frame slowly, and soon rows of workshops appeared in front of the car window, and the chimneys of those steelmaking workshops immediately made Yuan Yun frown, these things are more than a thousand years in advance, and it also represents that the large-scale destruction of nature will be more than a thousand years in advance, which will definitely be written into the textbook by the descendants of later generations, and then nail his name Yuan Yun to the shame card for ten thousand years.

After returning to Luoyang from Anding, I heard that the new cannon has been made, and it is a few points more reliable than the previous one, and the barrel has been extended by nearly three feet, and the firing range has increased by two hundred steps at the same time, which is a very big breakthrough.

And because He Yan came up with sulfuric acid, a chemical agent, many manufacturing processes have changed, and according to the pamphlet distributed by Yuan Yun, Pu Yuan even made major innovations in knives, guns and armor.

Now the weapon armor made in Luoyang is not only rust-resistant, but also has a longer lifespan, and even the appearance is more beautiful, and the black armor has been upgraded again this time, and it has reached 8.0.

When he entered the blacksmith's workshop, Pu Yuan had already run over from the steelmaking workshop next door, followed by three or four subordinates, each of whom was holding a box and didn't know what it contained.

Pu Yuan took Yuan Yun and got out of the car, and immediately ordered a few of his subordinates behind him to step forward, and then said with a smile: "Lord, this is the newly made black armor, and now you can rest assured that the chain armor inside can be removed, and these steel pieces on the outside alone are enough to resist the attack of any weapon and ensure that they cannot be penetrated." ”

"It's a bit big, I've never seen anything that can't be pierced, and I'll make you proud, I'll find someone to try it." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he looked at Shi Shen, who was still riding on horseback.

Shi Shen shuddered, and after laughing dryly, he immediately dismounted and kicked the entourage next to him, and said, "Why don't you go to test the armor of Hou Ye?" ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth still maintained a wicked smile, and then said: "You don't need others, Lao Tzu is calling you Shi Shen, don't you even dare to disobey my orders?" ”

Shi Shen looked worried, touched the back of his head and said, "Lord, the little one hasn't made any mistakes recently, you are ......"

Without waiting for Shi Shen to finish speaking, Yuan Yun frowned, and said unhappily: "Damn, on the dock that day, your group of mothers-in-law robbed Benhou's prestige, and said that you ...... Uh, forget it, it's all a trivial matter, Ben Hou just wants you to try your armor, this is for official business, not favoritism. ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the stone sinking, even Xiao Liu's face twitched, Yuan Yun This is definitely a personal vendetta of the communiqué, the fault of this lord's stingy ghost is simply known to passers-by, but if he is remembered by his careful eyes, it will basically be recovered.

Shi Shen smiled bitterly, and in desperation, he could only put on the black martial arts armor 8.0 sent by Pu Yuan, but he also knew very well in his heart that only he and Yuan Yun's figures were more similar here, so it was not wrong to say that it was a business.

After Shi Shen put on the armor, Yuan Yun immediately took the bow and arrow, thought about it for a while, put the bow and arrow down again, and then smashed a steel crossbow from the side, which frightened Shi Shen and quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Yuan Yun also felt that it was a bit excessive, the power of the steel crossbow was too strong, in case it really hurt Shi Shen, it would not be good, and when he wanted to put it down, he heard Pu Yuan smile and said: "The lord doesn't need to be taboo, just use the steel crossbow to try, and the small one guarantees that the stone guard is fine." ”

"Okay, you Pu Yuan, didn't you just laugh at your shallow amount of alcohol before, can you take revenge on Lao Tzu now? The next time I go to your house to drink, Lao Tzu will laugh at you and laugh to death...... Oops hey! Halfway through Shi Shen's words, Yuan Yun had already shot a crossbow arrow, which hit Shi Shen's shoulder right away.

I saw Shi Shen twenty paces away with a sigh, and fell backwards, and the crossbow arrow actually bounced into the air and did not penetrate the armor, and everyone was relieved.

Yuan Yun glanced at the steel crossbow in his hand, not that he was frivolous, but that he believed in Pu Yuan's words very much, this guy has now become a steelmaking master, and Pu Yuan has a problem, that is, he doesn't say anything, there will always be some leeway, so he can guarantee it, that's absolutely right.

Shi Shen got up from the ground, and immediately took a closer look at his right shoulder, and found that there were only a few nail leaves dented and a small piece, and most of the strength was scattered elsewhere.

Moving his shoulders, Shi Shen immediately smiled and said: "Good armor, good armor, if the lord wears this armor, it is guaranteed that he can charge and kill in the army, even if you are timid and refuse to charge, but in case you are besieged by the enemy, you can hold out for a while......"

Kicking the stone into the air, Yuan Yuncai smiled at Pu Yuan and said, "How many sets of such armor can be produced?" ”

Pu Yuan frowned and said, "This technology is still very expensive at the moment, so the small one is not going to be prolific, but only planning to build two sets for you and Cao Ang Shizi." ”

Yuan Yun nodded, and then smiled at Shi Shen again: "I have a new armor, and the old one will be cheaper for you." ”

Shi Shen laughed, patted his chest and began to thank him constantly, the black armor that Yuan Yun retired from was made with the best craftsmanship, Shi Shen Yan didn't know the truth, today he just tested the new armor, and he mixed it up to a better one, this is definitely a great joy to celebrate.

Yuan Yun didn't pay attention to Shi Shen, who kept smirking, but under the leadership of Pu Yuan, he prepared to see the newly built cannon, and kept asking about the manufacture and improvement of the cannon along the way.
