Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Treasure Prescription Turns into Waste Paper
The wind of March, with spring, with tenderness, the wheat fields of Shengledu are revealing new sprouts, and it is the time of spring planting, Lu Chen sits on the ridge of the wheat field, looking at the new waterwheel, and the water source of the canal is transported to the surrounding wheat fields through the bamboo tube, and he shows a faint smile.
Tian Zhong came back at this time and asked: "Lord, the Han-style waterwheel has been mass-manufactured by carpentry, will we popularize it for free next?" ”
Lu Chen raised his head and glanced at Tian Zhong.
I always feel that the word free is a bit harsh, since the establishment of the territory, agricultural issues have been free, but Tian Zhong suddenly asked, which made Lu Chen inevitably reflect.
He asked tentatively, "Tian Zhong, what do you think this waterwheel should do?" ”
Tian Zhong nodded, and said in detail: "Lord, Tian Zhong thinks that the number of farmers has exceeded one million compared to the past, if it is still distributed in the form of free, then I am afraid it will be a huge amount, if we are not free, this will definitely cause dissatisfaction among farmers, and I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with at that time!" ”
Tian Zhong looked at Lu Chen after speaking.
Lu Chen also nodded, and suddenly the free service was suddenly replaced by a fee, which would inevitably be dissatisfied, but the charge was not good, if it was free, would you have to advance the money yourself?
If the territory is bigger, there are more residents, and there are more things, do you have to pay for all of this?
Lu Chen was naturally unwilling.
There is also simply no way to guarantee such a long-term free service.
Lu Chen said: "Charge according to the number of water trucks!" 3,000 copper coins per rack! Bring them to install and build, if you don't want to, let them be! ”
Tian Zhong arched his hand and said, "Lord! In fact, Tian Zhong has a good way! ”
"Tell me about it!"
Tian Zhong said with a smile: "Why doesn't the lord entrust someone to her, such as Doctor Su, and let her sell the waterwheel as a businessman, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds!" ”
"No!"
Lu Chen didn't say a word, and refused directly.
Tian Zhong smiled secretly: "Lord, if you don't let Doctor Su deal with it, Tian Zhong's stupid son-in-law is willing to come forward to relieve the lord's worries, but I don't know if the lord will allow it?" ”
Lu Chen stared at Tian Zhong thoughtfully.
He slowly stood up, glanced at Tian Zhong, and suddenly felt the urge to beat him up.
Tian Zhong was also in a cold sweat.
Then.
Tian Zhong suddenly fell to his knees.
Crying and shouting: "Lord, Tian Zhong really just wants to solve the trouble for the lord, and there is absolutely no intention of raising funds to gather people, not at all, really!" ”
Lu Chen waved his hand.
Suddenly thinking about the future road of Shengle Capital.
Since he got Xianbei Land, he has not rethought about how to go on the road, and he has always developed the territory as a city, so he has not planned to get rid of the small city.
Only this time.
Lu Chen finally realized that his Shengle Capital had completely escaped the control of the city, perhaps it was not an exaggeration to call it a vassal state, the country had a national policy, but he had never planned it.
Stuck in one place? Or enterprising the world?
Maybe.
Su Xiaomo can see farther than Lu Chen.
The power of the family will eventually be formed, will there be fewer officials who plan like Tian Zhong? This is how the family was slowly formed, once it was realized, it completely turned a pheasant into a phoenix, but if they were not allowed to come forward, they could really control the boundary between the people and the court, if they made a mistake, would the people directly point the finger at the court?
Maybe.
That's the benefit of the Maison.
The same is true of the real family, they are all in charge of some of the more sensitive and secret industries, perhaps, this is the reason why the family has to exist.
Lu Chen pondered for a while.
He walked on the ridge, walking slowly, the past hidden in his heart gradually emerged, and he sighed lightly.
"This is the country!"
Unconsciously walked to the end of the wheat field, and with a bang, a speeding carriage almost hit Lu Chen, but fortunately, the coachman pulled the horse in time, and the whole carriage stumbled into the ground with a loud bang.
Then.
There was an angry shout from the coachman.
"Look for death!"
Lu Chen raised his head and glanced at him, the other party was a player uncle, with a fierce expression, and suddenly pulled out a big knife in his hand, obviously meaning to make a move.
"Yin Hu, don't do it, let's go to Shengle City to do business first."
There was a commanding voice from inside the carriage.
"Yes! Master. ”
Yin Hu glanced at Lu Chen coldly, nodded silently, shook the big knife, put it away with a bang, and then glanced at Lu Chen, who was dodging, shook the whip, and rushed towards the Shengle Capital.
Lu Chen glanced at it and twitched the corners of his mouth, full of speechlessness.
Unexpectedly.
There are still players in Shengle who want to kill themselves.
"Huh!"
When she returned to the city, she saw that the carriage just now was parked outside the door of the Lu Family Inn, the Lu Family Inn was Su Xiaomo's secondary industry, and it seemed that it could be driven, and she had already started to do it.
If Lu Chen went to open the same inn restaurant, it would be an eye-opener not to become a beggar.
He hesitated.
Let's go back to the mansion first.
He looked at the map of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the mansion, and said silently in his heart: "Aren't they all looking forward to unifying the world?" It seems that it can't be limited to the previous idea, the historical process is just the historical process, and the result is unification after all, why can't you take the first step, Zhu Hong almost did it! It seems that I don't have enough vision, hehe. ”
Then.
He took off the map and went to the Fu family to look for Fu Zhu, he looked at the three states of He, You, and Liang, but found that there was no point to occupy, if he attacked Youzhou, Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Bei were all resistance for the time being, and Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Ding Yuan, and Dong Zhuo were also hard bones, and the geographical location of the two places was really chicken.
If you get Chang'an, you will have Liang and two states.
There is no place to defend in Chang'an, Liangzhou and Bingzhou, and sooner or later they will be swallowed back again from Chang'an.
When you arrive at the house.
Fu Zhu was still in the county office, so he had to go to the county office.
In the prefectural government.
Xu Rong and Ayu are defending the city, and the player army has been unable to attack for a long time, and the two armies have begun to seesaw, but the players are still increasing, so that Sheng Le is gradually at a disadvantage in this tug-of-war.
Lu Chen asked at this time: "Gonghe, has the battlefield situation changed?" ”
Fu Zhu raised his head and beckoned, "Lord! ”
Lu Chen nodded.
He glanced at the distribution of forces on the sketch.
At this time, he asked, "The lord came so late, but he was looking for a prince to talk to him?" Or do you want to ask about the military situation between the public and the war? ”
Lu Chen smiled.
"You can guess as much as you want!"
Frustrated with a light smile, he drew a line in the territory of Youzhou, and then went to the boundary bridge, and included the entire Youzhou into the territory of Shengle Du, from now on to Lelang County in the east, to the Western Regions in the west, to the Snow Mountain in the north, and to Xingqing, Shengnan, and Zhuojun in the south.
Lu Chen couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
Frustration had already guessed what he was thinking.
"It's worthy of justice."
Fu Zhu shook his head and smiled: "My lord, although Youzhou is the first choice, but this is not advisable at this time, we must wait for an opportunity, as short as three years and five years, as long as ten years, the lord must not be a little restless." ”
Lu Chen was surprised and said, "Huh? I thought you had already thought of a plan! Haha, I'm happy for nothing..."
He smiled and shook his head.
He said in detail: "My lord, although the area of Shengle Capital is wide, but after all, the foundation is weak, and it is completely unable to support the perennial conquest of the army. ”
Lu Chen nodded.
The nature of these two things is obviously different.
Outcome.
Lu Chen was very disappointed, but he was also very resigned, he did not have an army of interracial alliances, and there was no way to wave the army south like Zhu Hong, and now he still had to train his troops with grain.
Night.
Lu Chen walked into Fang Hui's new mansion, this is arranged by Tian Zhong, in addition to the training of the army, the second is to make money, the pill is a huge profit, if you really master the prescription, no matter how the historical process changes, having money is equivalent to having a steady stream of armaments, war horses, and population.
Then.
"Lord, it seems that the stranger is here to find Doctor Su."
Lu Chen looked at the scout who was sent to monitor the players in the carriage, and when he heard his report, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looking for his wife? Could it be that it was sent by the Su family? Still is...
He immediately ordered: "Continue to monitor, and order Yan Rou to send three hundred guards to protect Doctor Su, and nothing must happen!" ”
"Yes, my lord."
Looking at the retreating scout, his face full of doubt.
?
Su Xiaomo's real identity was exposed, or Su Xiaomo contacted the Su family, although it is still unknown for the time being, but if the Su family comes, there is nothing wrong, if it is someone else, you have to pay attention.
Walk into Fang Hui's courtyard.
After Lu Chen accepted Fang Hui's promise, he didn't have time to discuss with Fang Hui in detail because of solving the waterwheel problem.
After entering.
Fang Hui just closed the lid of the big iron furnace, and the bottom of the furnace below was bubbling with red fire, at this time, a strong medicinal fragrance emanated, and Lu Chen watched quietly.
Then.
Fang Hui found that Lu Chen was coming, and immediately arched his hand and said, "Fang Hui has seen the general. ”
Lu Chen nodded and asked, "Is this medicine refining?" ”
Fang Hui shook his head.
Didn't speak.
Lu Chen glanced at it, and knew in his heart that this kid would not tell him about it.
"Can you refine the medicine on the pill formula?"
"General Hui, the new medicine in the pill recipe must be tried constantly to know if it can be successfully refined."
"??? with a failure rate"
Fang Hui nodded.
"What is the failure rate?"
"The higher the pill, the higher the failure rate, in the case of the fifth-order yellow pill, the failure rate is about one percent, if the pill is higher, the failure rate will be higher."
"One percent?"
Lu Chen almost fell, it took a hundred times to make one, no wonder the price was terrible, but the price was 1 million gold, it didn't matter! Steady profit without loss, a million profits.
"I have a pill recipe here, can you see what the effect is?"
Fang Hui shook his head.
Lu Chen gasped, and scolded secretly in his heart, what use does Lao Tzu want you to have, I don't even know what the effect of a prescription is, and with such a high failure rate, I promise your uncle.
Fang Hui said honestly: "You will know the effect when it is refined!" ”
Lu Chen shook his head with a sigh, took out the pill formula in the package, handed it to Fang Hui and said, "You take a look first." ”
Fang Hui took the pill and glanced at it, then handed it back to Lu Chen, and said with a white eye: "Ambergris and Snow Mountain Snapping Turtle only exist in legends, you can't find them, and it's useless to get a prescription." ”
Lu Chen's brows furrowed.
wiped his nose fiercely, gritted his teeth, his hands were trembling, a Wanli pill formula has now become a piece of bullshit, which is enough to make him run wild, now that there is no pill formula, what kind of alchemist do you want??
Or the alchemist who was promised in exchange!
Fang Hui saw Lu Chen, whose killing intent was protruding, and immediately involuntarily took a few steps back, a cold light lit up, and the courtyard suddenly fell into a cold silence.
