Inside the mansion.

Lu Chen looked at the distribution of the entire Han Dynasty's forces, and there was a vague tendency to integrate adventure players and sweep away lord players, and the starting point of all this was the Liu faction headed by Liu Yan, Yizhou had been completely encapsulated by Liu Yan, Jingzhou belonged to Liu Biao, Yangzhou belonged to Liu Xuan, and the entire Jiangnan, except for Jiaozhou, was all occupied by the Liu clan.

Now Liu Yu, who is also a member of the Liu clan, finally stretched out his hand to Shengle Capital.

Lu Chen looked at Fu Zhi.

I saw that Fu Zhu also frowned slightly.

Lu Chen said at this time: "Gonghe thinks that we will ask Gongsun Zhan to send troops and let him help disturb Liu Yu's rear, is this method feasible?" ”

Frustrated shook his head.

He said carefully: "If, according to the expectations of the strangers, Zhang Jiao will unveil an uprising in Jiyu and other places, we can hold it here for several years, and we can also wait for the opportunity to absorb the displaced people, and the people will grow grain and train elite soldiers, and when the soldiers are strong and strong, Shengle will be stable." ”

Lu Chen nodded.

He also understands this truth, but things are not under his control.

Unless.

Forced Zhang Jiao to revolt.

He suddenly thought of it and asked, "Gonghe, what method do you have to make Zhang Jiao have to revolt?" As long as Zhang Jiao was allowed to revolt, Liu Yu and the family had to withdraw their troops and go to encircle and suppress Zhang Jiao. ”

He pondered for a moment.

He replied: "Lord, this matter is simple, as long as the lord finds someone to pretend to be Taipingdao, and then goes to Luoyang to spread the slogan of Zhang Jiao's uprising, within half a month, Zhang Jiao will rebel." ”

Lu Chen slapped his head and scolded secretly.

"Oh my God, how could I not have thought of such a simple thing!"

He smiled suddenly.

Then he continued: "My lord, if you want Zhang Jiao to restrain the Liu clan of the imperial court, then he must not be defeated immediately, otherwise Zhang Jiao's uprising will only delay Shengle for a while, and after all, he will not be able to solve the danger of the Liu clan's annexation of Shengle." ”

Lu Chen nodded.

Naturally, he understood what he meant.

But.

Will Zhang Jiao be able to withstand the blow of the imperial army?

Historically, he only lasted less than a year, if you want Zhang Jiao to hold on, unless there is endless player support, as long as Zhang Jiao does not die, with Qingzhou, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other places as a guarantee, there is no problem in confronting for several years.

The longer the standoff continues, the more beneficial it will be to the player's forces.

It's best to hold out until Liu Hong dies.

But.

Can Zhang Jiao really not die?

Unless.

Give him a pill!

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Gonghe, the arrangement for spreading rumors will be handed over to you!" I still have something for Zhang Jiao, maybe he can get Liu Yu and the others back! ”

Frustrated, he arched his hand and promised to do so.

Lu Chen nodded.

He took out a brocade box from the package.

The things inside, he had already checked, the same as the pills rewarded by the Medicine Pavilion Event, but unfortunately there was only one, Lu Chen originally wanted to give it to Su Xiaomo, but now it can only be given to Zhang Jiao.

This thing must have been given to him by Xiao Cui.

Lu Chen guessed.

At this time, Fu Zhi reminded again: "Lord, the army must be expanded again to prevent Xiliang from sending troops!" ”

Lu Chen nodded.

There must also be no delay in the expansion of the army.

The six million inhabitants of the whole territory can recruit 120,000 troops, and now there are six armies of Beifu, Beimo, heavy cavalry, light cavalry, guards, and traps.

The total number of troops is nearly 70,000.

In addition to the issue of armaments, there is also the consumption of transfers, the supervision of the construction of military camps, and most importantly, the consumption of grain and food.

[Name: Su Xiaochen]

[Realm: Third Order]

[Fortune: 265630]

[Prestige: Slightly famous]

[Exercise: None]

[Move: None]

[Weapon: Hybrid Overlord Halberd]

[Equipment: Jiaolong Black Armor]

Today's total coins are 2.6 billion copper coins, and if all of them are used to recruit a large army, it is possible to set up eight battalions of heavy cavalry, eight battalions of light cavalry, and sixteen battalions of comprehensive sword and shield soldiers.

If once established.

In the later stages, the monthly consumption will reach a terrifying value.

Lu Chen said ruthlessly, spending a lot of money, countless grains and grains must also be established, otherwise if Shengle falls, he doesn't need to talk about anything in the future!

He said: "First send General Gao Shun to personally lead the 800 trap camp to temporarily defend Xingqing, and then let General Yan Rou go to the villages to recruit 16 battalions of new soldiers, we must expand the army again to resist this attack!" ”

Tian Zhong immediately stopped and said: "Lord, the war horses and armaments are already empty!" This is ...... if the army is expanded."

Lu Chen exhaled.

He said weakly: "All 2.6 billion coins are used to expand the army!" ”

Tian Zhong nodded in horror.

"Yes, my lord!"

Lu Chen waved his hand, and went to the county government with Tian Zhong, and went to arrange things, the county government has all the income forms of Sheng Ledu, once all the coins are used up, then this time the expedition must be arranged.

Grains are now the most important thing.

Tian Zhong took out the reserve data table and said: "Lord, the grain of Shengle Capital is now about 12 million quintals, with the population of 6 million in the entire Shengle Capital, when the grain is completely cut off, it can only maintain the grain storage of the entire capital for eight months, and now the Lord is expanding the army vigorously, if this season of cultivation can not allow the residents to harvest enough grain to eat, our Shengle Du's grain reserves must be taken out and supplied to the residents, but this can not last long, the drought is still spreading, and many wheat fields are in famine." ”

Lu Chen nodded.

He pondered for a while, thinking of something, but he didn't know if it would restrict production, and if he could, it would alleviate the problem of drought-stricken canals.

There is no shortage of water in Shengledu, but there is no good water diversion channel, low-lying wheat fields and mountain fields are easy to irrigate, but unfortunately those plain fields can not guarantee the water source, the water source only flows to the low-lying place, even if the canal is built, it can not automatically let the wheat field have water, in the face of the vast wheat field, artificial water, it is completely wishful thinking, this is also the distress when building the canal, in the era of no water pump, relying on manpower to resist the drought is really powerless.

Lu Chen secretly said in his heart: "It would be nice if there was a waterwheel." ”

He investigated other sources of income, and found that the income of the entire Shengle Capital was basically the same as the expenditure of the mansion except for wine.

It is no wonder that Cao Cao also organized professional tomb robbery camps in the later period, which is also because the military expenditure in the later period could not keep up, and the equipment, war horses, and military salaries of hundreds of thousands of troops were enough to drag down half of the imperial court in five or six years.

War is about money and food, and it is no wonder that the historical family always stabs them in the back, but the male lords do not dare to kill them after all, so that in modern society, the family is still a powerful hidden force.

That's when it happened.

The guard of the county government reported: "Lord, there is a pharmacy manager outside who asks to see you!" ”

"Pharmacy?" Lu Chen was a little surprised.

The matter of the medicine pavilion has always made him a little puzzled, and he wants to ask clearly, but he has nowhere to ask, since he fainted, his heart is full of doubts, and the video on the forum is only when he was rescued by Zhang Ji and others, but the later things are unknown.

He waved his hand and shouted, "Please! ”

The pharmacy manager and the medicine pavilion manager should not be the same person, and the pharmacy manager came to see him, is there any follow-up explanation?

Three quarters of time.

A middle-aged man came in from outside the county yamen, with a young man behind him, the two of them were wearing pharmacy clothes, holding a stack of account books, and then came slowly, when they saw Lu Chen, they arched their hands and saluted: "The pharmacy manager Wen Guang has seen the marquis." ”

Lu Chen nodded, he looked at the young man behind him, and the young man also saw Lu Chen, and immediately bowed and said, "The Medicine Pavilion has seen General Su back!" ”

Lu Chen smiled.

My heart is full of questions, and the pharmacy and medicine pavilion are here!

He beckoned to the tea and began to ask, "I wonder what the two of you are here for?" ”

Wen Guang smiled and said: "Du Huhou can remember the matter of the Medicine Pavilion, according to the requirements of the young master of the Medicine Pavilion, the management of the medicine shop will be reported to the Du Huhou, and you can get one-ten-thousandth of the income of the medicine shop, did the Du Huhou forget?" ”

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

The door of the brain didn't turn around, but he knew about the setting of this hosting alien, but why himself, which made him a little unable to understand.

He asked, "What do you want to do in the pharmacy management?" ”

Wen Guang explained: "The Duhu only needs to check the accounts every year, collect the gold harvested by the medicine shop for the whole year, and wait for the medicine pavilion to come and collect it."

Lu Chen exhaled and nodded.

summoned Tian Zhong and said to Wen Guang: "This is Cheng Tian Zhong of Shengle Du County, about the accounts, please ask Steward Wen to compare it with Tian County Cheng clearly, it's troublesome!" ”

Wen Guang smiled and nodded.

For the one-thousandth gain, Lu Chen still kept his composure, but it was only a trace of fantasy, under the one-thousandth share, full of disappointment, he stared at the Medicine Pavilion Fang Hui, and asked with a hint of expectation: "Are you an alchemist?" ”

Fang Hui arched his hand and replied: "According to Miss Qingwan's arrangement, Fang Hui came to assist General Su in managing the medicine shop, and secondly, Miss Qingwan asked Fang Hui to ask General Su, I don't know if the general still needs the medicine refining skills of the Medicine Pavilion, if necessary, as long as the general promises a promise to Miss Qingwan, Fang Hui can meet the general's needs!" ”

Lu Chen scratched his head and frowned slightly.

Qingwan is the steward of the Medicine Pavilion, and Lu Chen naturally knows it, but the management of the medicine shop probably doesn't need Lu Chen's management, and the second thing is obviously to send himself to the alchemist, but it's a promise! He was full of doubts.

He asked cautiously: "The medicine pavilion's alchemy skills are indeed good, and Su also happened to get a pill formula, but I just don't know what Miss Qingwan needs Su to promise?" Can you talk about it, so that Su can think about it! ”

Fang Hui shook his head and replied: "General, please forgive me, Miss Qingwan did not explain the matter of the promise, she only explained, this matter is all up to General Su's own consideration, Fang Hui is just the person who transmits the word, if the general agrees, you can go to the pharmacy in the city to find Fang Hui within three days, if the general does not need it, Fang Hui will leave on his own after three days." ”

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and nodded.

He looked at Fang Hui who was leaving, and hesitated in his heart.

He did not immediately agree, nor did he dare to do so rashly.

The promise of the game is different from the real promise, the game is mandatory, if you sign an oath with an NPC in the game and you break the promise, you can delete the account at least or jail you for life.

"Qingwan?"

Lu Chen talked about this person who had been mentioned many times, but had not been able to see him, and he always felt that there was something he didn't know, but he still couldn't remember it.

Shaking his head, he didn't want to bother with it for the time being.

Take out the pen and paper, and start to draw the model and operation principle of the waterwheel, if according to the historical records, the waterwheel should have been invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but this wooden thing, if it can be imitated and manufactured, can also solve the problem of irrigation water in the plain wheat fields.

Three hours passed.

Tian Zhong rushed over at this time and reported with a smile: "My lord, the accounts of the pharmacy are right, we have recorded seven billion copper coins in the first year, and all the armaments and war horses for the expansion of the army can be purchased with coins!" ”

Lu Chen raised his head and twitched the corners of his mouth, glancing at Tian Zhong.

"7 billion?"

Tian Zhong nodded as if the chick pecked.

Lu Chen gasped, didn't the Medicine Pavilion get seven billion gold? Earn so much gold every year? Is there really so much gold? Or is it all replaced with something else?

What is more valuable than gold??

Lu Chen handed over the waterwheel drawings to Tian Zhong and asked him to send them to the equipment manufacturing department.

He turned around and went to the pharmacy to find Fang.
