As the saying goes, if people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries. Toyotomi Hideyori, who has been keeping an eye on the progress of the situation in front of him, naturally will not be like Kangning, who has just sown the seeds and has already built the harvester.

Although people are needed as a source of power, both hands are pushed forward, and the failure rate is very high, if you can't move forward more than ten meters, you have to stop and overhaul once. But when this behemoth appeared in the fields, it still attracted a very large number of refugees who came to see the glory.

Although there are no crops that have grown here for them to practice harvesting, the weeds around them can barely be used to practice. Then you open your eyes and watch and copy the song, close your eyes and imagine that in five or six months, the wheat they planted can be harvested so easily, and suddenly you feel that the joy of the harvest has enveloped you, so you look forward to this big guy a little more.

But Corning was still not satisfied with the thing in front of him. In 1822, on the basis of the original horse-drawn disc cutter harvester, people added a pulling device above the cutter, and in 1826, there was a prototype of a modern harvester equipped with a reciprocating cutter and a pulling wheel.

From Corning's point of view, making such a trip to the current harvester was what he dreamed of, but now, the machine is so simple that it makes people laugh and cry, and when it moves through the ground, it is often blocked by a small stone.

Although he repeatedly reminded himself that if he wants to move things from 200 years to the present, and it will take a long time to move things from now on, and it is also a region with a weak foundation in machinery manufacturing technology, it will inevitably take a long time, so the most important thing he should do is to wait, not to promote the seedlings. But the resource he lacks the most is time.

Although he himself has plenty of time, most of the progress of his various production lines is far lower than he expected. The only thing that satisfies her is the blast furnace in the Qingzhou area. It's still a steady stream of steel being exported to him. This makes the creation of farm tools and simple weapons no longer a problem.

But soon, the Central Plains region came with the old emperor's latest order. The old emperor didn't want too many people to know about the existence of Xu Hongru, a traverser, and the huge team of craftsmen that Kangning had organized was required to stop all production activities as soon as possible. In the eyes of the old emperor, neither Qingzhou Mansion nor Yanzhou Mansion should become a conspicuous place.

Corning agreed with the old emperor in principle, but he still begged the emperor to give him a little more time to produce so that he could store a sufficient amount of steel. In this small place on Awaji Island. The lack of coal and iron resources is where Corning is most anxious.

It is for this reason that Corning needs to have a certain amount of steel in its own reserves. If Ge Gang wants to carry out steel smelting on the current forest land, he will have to import timber from Southeast Asia, and according to the current transportation costs, even if Boss Huang's fleet has the best seafaring technology and ships in the world, it will make the originally naturally grown timber come with a price close to luxury.

So, Corning eventually gave up on such an idea. He can only count on it now. Wife, you can give him enough time to save some steel that he can use for the next three to five years, at least, so that he can keep his hands on it. Before reaching out to the Australian continent.

After writing a reply to Zhuge Liang, Kangning began to prepare to receive the envoy sent by Tokugawa Ieyasu. The scheming Honda replaced his younger brother as the agitated messenger in front of Corning. But looking at your rhetoric about her, you have always been dismissive.

Ultimately. The two of them only reached one consensus, that is, Kangning was in the Toyotomi family. Negotiations with Tokugawa Ieyasu will be held together.

Tokugawa Ieyasu had to agree to the proposal. Since the fortified Osaka Castle was not built in a day, then you will not be able to conquer it in a day. Tokugawa Ieyasu still needed time, but the cold winter meant that there was not enough food to supply his army, so he needed to avoid it as much as possible and fight fierce battles in this winter.

His strategic purpose is actually clear to both Kangning and Toyotomi Hideyori. But they also faced the same problem, although Toyotomi Hideyori had fewer concerns in this regard, after all, he was fighting at home, and he had sufficient reserves of food and money.

However, the current strategic situation is indeed very unfavorable for Toyotomi Hideyori. Osaka Castle is likely to face an extremely serious siege in the near future, so it is better to accumulate more food now, or at the very least, reduce the loss of some food......

As for such an idea, Toyotomi Hideyori agreed to Tokugawa Ieyasu's proposal at the first time.

However, the negotiators between the two sides surprised Corning.

In order to show the importance of this negotiation, Corning rushed to the negotiation site with a group of his men.

For the sake of the safety of the negotiators on both sides, Tokugawa Ietssuna proposed that it be conducted within the Corning domain, with which both sides had a cooperative relationship. Toyotomi Hideyori did not object to this opinion, he still believed that Kanning was still his unbreakable ally, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's emphasis on his partnership with Corning here was actually suspected of sowing discord.

However, Kangning never took Tokugawa Ieyasu's careful thinking to heart, he knew that Toyotomi Hideyori and Tokugawa Ieyasu were not all the way, unlike Tokugawa Ieyasu's Baht must be more careful and calculated, Toyotomi Hideyori can be regarded as the prototype of a big husband to a certain extent.

From him, Kangning saw more of Oda Nobunaga, armed with a spear and bow and arrow, fighting in Honnoji Temple, rather than Toyotomi Hideyoshi, nicknamed Monkey.

But this trumpet Oda Nobunaga is still a long way from his uncle.

Putting aside these thoughts about what they have to do with them, look at the large army you led into the place of this negotiation, the city of Zhouben.

Kangning, who is revered as Awaji Hall, can be said to be the host of this peace talks. But even so, when he saw the envoys of both sides, he was still surprised.

On the Tokugawa Ieyasu side, it was Tokugawa Ieyasu's side room that was dispatched, the Acha Bureau. This person is also a little strange woman, when she was in the battle of Nagakuhand, she was pregnant with Rokka, and she dared to rush to the battlefield without hesitation, you know, that conflict, but the conflict between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga.

It was also during that conflict that she accidentally miscarried, which ultimately led to the failure to give birth to a son and a half daughter to the Dechang family. If it weren't for the fact that she was now the biological mother of the great shogun Tokugawa Hidetada, she would not have become Tokugawa Hidetada's adoptive mother, and in the political arena, more and more people ran as an envoy.

Let's look at the envoys sent by Toyotomi Hideyori. This person is the younger sister of Asai Chacha, Tokoin.

In the original history, the place of peace talks between the two sides was the territory of this son of Tsunekoin, Kyogoku Tadaka. And now, it's on the borders of Corning.

But then again, Corning led a group of big men to participate in this woman's negotiation, which is indeed a bit unusual. It is strange that he does not understand the peculiar customs of the Japanese, and he can treat the negotiation of the life and death of tens of millions of people as a community event for elderly women to talk about the seven aunts and eight aunts.
