Chapter 89: The Tech Tree

Prime Minister Xu Chang, Taiwei Zhuang Qingzhai, Dasi Nong Han Anguo, Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu and even former Prime Minister Dou Ying, Maeda Wei Taiwei and other important ministers who lived at home as a liege because they angered Empress Dowager Dou came out of the palace and went to Weiyang Palace to discuss matters; Such a big battle caused the people of Chang'an to constantly discuss, what happened to the imperial court?

The head of the Bank of China, the alliance with the Dayue clan, and the map from Hexi to the Western Regions brought back by Li You made the Han ministers who had suffered from the Xiongnu overjoyed, and they seemed to see the opportunity for the Han to defeat the Xiongnu and get rid of humiliation! After an all-night debate, the Hexi area, which was empty because of the need for assistance from the Wusun State and the large number of troops taken away, became the main direction of attack chosen by the important ministers of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che ordered the relevant important ministers to start selecting generals, training soldiers, and preparing grain, grass and horses for this battle array! Li You was also arranged by Liu Che as the core member of this operation, "Zhang Aiqing has made great contributions to my Han Dynasty by digging through the Western Regions!" You are specially named the Taizhong doctor, the father of Tangyi is the envoy, and he is allowed to restore Ganfu's real name! Chen Qingzhi is the military Sima, Pan Feng is the cavalry governor, and the members of the accompanying regiment have their own rewards, and those good sons who sacrificed for the country will also be ordered to have a generous pension! The envoys of Loulan and the Dayue clan were placed by Daxing Ling (the department in charge of foreign affairs, one of the Nine Qings, renamed Dahonglu in the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty)! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!" Li You, Tang Yi's father, and the people in the mission thanked Liu Che for his reward in unison!

"There is a division to arrange a mansion for Zhu Aiqing, Zhu Aiqing will rest for a few days, and then prepare for the crusade against the Huns with the prime minister and the captain! If I can win this battle, I will not hesitate to reward the marquis! The all-night courtroom made Liu Che a little tired, so he let the ministers leave.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" Seeing this, Li You hurriedly spoke, there are still very important things to say to Liu Che, after getting permission, Li You said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has many affairs that need the help of various ministries of the imperial court, and the minister wants to ask the Taifu (one of the nine Qings, in charge of Ma Zheng), the Great Nong Ling (one of the Nine Qings, the predecessor of the Great Si Nong, who controls the national economy and also manages the official fields of the Han Dynasty), Shaofu (one of the Nine Qings, who is in charge of the income of the mountains and Haidi Ze and the manufacturing of the royal handicrafts), and will be a master craftsman (in charge of the civil construction of the palace, the temple, and the mausoleum) to send his subordinates to assist the minister to complete!" ”

Thinking of the seeds, sweat and blood BMW brought back by Li You, Liu Che seemed to understand his plan, nodded and praised, "Zhang Aiqing has worked tirelessly for the country, and he is really a good minister of my Han Dynasty!" He then issued a decree ordering the above-mentioned departments to send suitable subordinates to cooperate with Li You's work, and to ask him for the necessary materials and venues.

Li You was not polite, and immediately asked Liu Che for a manor located in Shanglin Yuan, and took Chen Qingzhi and Pan Feng to live in, as for Tangyi's father and other members of the mission, what to do in the manor had nothing to do with them, so Li You gave them a holiday and let them go home to rest.

As for Chen Qingzhi and Pan Feng's arrangement, he also has a plan, according to the time, it is expected that the Han will complete the war preparations about next spring and launch a war against the Hexi area of the Xiongnu, and at that time he, Chen Qingzhi and Pan Feng will inevitably participate in it! When that time comes, it's not too late to find an opportunity for them to return.

According to Zhang Qian's memory, Li You visited some relatives and friends in Chang'an, and took Chen Qingzhi and Pan Feng to get a taste of the style of Chang'an today, and returned to Shanglinyuan's manor a few days later!

When I arrived outside the manor, I saw a young general waiting at the door with hundreds of palace guards; Seeing Li You coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "The lower official servant (now the servant is only the emperor's attendant, not a high-ranking official comparable to the prime minister in later generations) Wei Qing pays a visit to Doctor Taizhong!" ”

Li You was in a trance for a while! He didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and Chen Qingzhi behind him also showed the same surprised expression as him. But it's not their fault, who made the name of the person in front of him too prominent! That's Wei Qing! In the future, Wei Qing, who won seven victories against the Xiongnu and was named the general of the Great Sima!

After a long while, Li You came back to his senses, and hurriedly replied, "Hurry up and be exempt from the guards, please come in and talk!" ”

After chatting with Wei Qing for a while, he learned that Liu Che had sent several generals he was optimistic about, such as Wei Qing, Gongsun Ao, Li Guang, Cheng Buzhi and others to take turns to lead his soldiers and horses to guard the manor from outsiders, and let them follow Li You to familiarize themselves with Xiongnu affairs, so as to prepare for next year's war.

"The guards are deeply trusted by His Majesty, and they will definitely make immortal achievements in next year's battle!" Li You said politely that Wei Qing may participate in this war next year, but his background and qualifications determine that he is unlikely to become the commander of the army, so who will lead this war?

Probably some of these people are Li Guang, Gongsun He, Wang Hui, Li Xi, and Han Anguo, right? Li You recalled the Battle of Mayi a few years later, when these five people led the army, and now the Battle of Mayi is only a few years away, maybe Liu Che will let them enter the stage of fighting against the Xiongnu in advance, right?

"Thank you, Doctor Taizhong, Jiyan!" After a few polite words, Wei Qing pretended to be curious and asked, "I don't know what Dr. Taizhong has to do since he came to place so many people in the manor?" ”

Wei Qing had just taken a turn in the manor, and he was coveted by the extraordinary sweat and blood of those horses, but he couldn't understand other places! The blacksmith's stove, the carpenter's shed, the tanner's table, and a large number of other craftsmen are busy preparing their work sites in the manor, what is this Taizhong doctor going to do?

I'm going to climb the tech tree! Although it is impossible to make muskets and cannons now, there are many ways to improve the combat effectiveness of the Han army, and Li You doesn't want to waste this time in vain! If the results are produced earlier and large-scale manufacturing begins, by the beginning of spring next year, Dahan's hope of winning will increase by a few points!

"Our Han people are still slightly inferior in riding compared to those Huns who grew up on horseback! Therefore, I plan to make some small objects so that the cavalry of the Great Han can surpass the Huns! Li You replied truthfully, "In addition, there are some things that are conducive to war, and these craftsmen need to help make them!" In addition to these, all kinds of seeds brought back from the Western Regions also need to be planted and cultivated with the help of the subordinates of the Great Agricultural Order! Sweaty and bloody BMWs also need the manpower of the servants to help breed into groups! ”

"Oh? What is Dr. Taizhong going to do? Wei Qing suddenly became interested!
