Chapter 229: Children in pairs
Shen Mufeng came to Li Dapeng for two main purposes, one was to see Li Dapeng's family, especially Li Xiaohu, who was almost turned old. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The second is the grenadier canister, although the appearance is a little stupid, but it is not easy to make it, Shen Mufeng made a few suggestions, and then went home.
The next day, Shen Mufeng established the Ordnance Research Institute, appointed Li Dapeng as the director, with the rank of major general, and assigned fifty guards to Li Dapeng, who was specifically responsible for protecting Li Dapeng's safety.
Li Dapeng was flattered, but he was even more grateful to Shen Mufeng in his heart, he was ruthlessly satisfied with everything he had now, although it was very dangerous to make firearms, but it made him very satisfied, and even had an inseparable feeling for firearms.
And Shen Mufeng stayed in Lanling County for half a month, and after testing the improved grenadier with Li Dapeng, Shen Mufeng began to think about another thing, building roads.
Today's four states are still rich, the people are peaceful, and they have stored a lot of food before, but one thing must be explained, that is, they have been completely isolated from the outside world.
The four states occupy one-tenth of the territory of Great Xia, and it is not big to say that it is not big, but it is not small to say that it is not small, but only the whole state of these four states is regarded as a large agricultural state, and it is obviously unrealistic to let the whole state feed the stomachs of everyone in the four states.
And this is also the reason why Shen Mufeng agreed to use grain in the transaction with Luo Shitong.
But there will always be a day when the grain will run out, so we must find a way to get food, there are two ways to get food, one is to occupy Hezhou, Hezhou is the throat of Tianque Fort, as long as you occupy Hezhou, you can get a lot of grain in Tianque Fort.
But Hezhou can't be easily touched, the reason is very simple, Daxia is also short of food, and if he occupies Hezhou, it will inevitably make Satengu jump off the wall.
What's more, the current Shen Mufeng can't fight hard with Great Xia, and the current four states are not enough to swallow the entire Great Xia, after all, the four states are too small, the starting point is low, and once the territory expands suddenly, it will inevitably cause all kinds of trouble.
He only has fifteen years left in this world, and there is no sound order to operate, once he leaves, the Great Xia he built with his own hands will inevitably collapse.
So whether it is public or private, Shen Mufeng can't immediately capture Hezhou, not to mention that the defenders of Hezhou have now reached 300,000 people, and Hezhou itself is a place where masters of the rivers and lakes gather, once they attack Hezhou, casualties are inevitable.
Therefore, there is only the second way to go, that is, to open up the battlefield, and the goal is to open up the country of the wind, open the mountain and build a road, through the Tianque Mountains, and go straight into the wind.
The population of the Gale Country is small, but there are only more than 20 million people, and the Gale Country is full of fertile soil, and the grain output is extremely high.
It can not only ensure the food needed by the four states, but also expand the territory for Great Xia, and not to mention worrying about food in the future.
If the road is repaired, it will not only drive the transportation capacity of the state capitals, but also have a very big advantage in the face of war.
Therefore, after Shen Mufeng and Li Dapeng determined the grenadiers, they directly started to repair the road, and when they returned to Wanping, Shen Mufeng issued a notice to the state capitals to repair the road.
And the road from Bazhou to Gale Country needs to be more secretive, so the army can only be used, Shen Mufeng dispatched 20,000 people from the First Army, and also dispatched 20,000 recruited recruits in Quanzhou and Bazhou, and 60,000 people started the road construction in the Tianque Mountains in the Bazhou section.
Unknowingly, at the end of the 141st year of the Great Xia Calendar, Sizhou had been busy for a year, and Shen Mufeng finally relaxed a little, because at the end of the year, Shen Mufeng decided to visit Emperor Xia Yuan first, after all, this emperor was his father-in-law.
Xia Yuan is a little old, and compared to the whiteness of Xia Yuan's temples, Shen Mufeng did not leave any traces on his face, but looked younger, but in the past six and a half years, Shen Mufeng's temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Shen Mufeng and Xia Yuan sat opposite each other, in Sizhou, the only person who could drink at the same table with Xia Yuan was probably this Shen Yan King, the two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and they both showed drunkenness unconsciously.
In fact, both of them understand, I'm afraid that they can only say something special through alcohol, and as for whether they are really drunk, I'm afraid only the two of them can understand in their hearts.
After Shen Mufeng left, Xia Yuan let out a long sigh, his tone was so helpless, Shen Mufeng's meaning was already obvious, he didn't plan to recover Great Xia, but to find another way to occupy the Great Wind Country!
It stands to reason that Shen Mufeng is very happy to open up his territory, but the question is, Great Xia is his root, he is the emperor of Great Xia, is it necessary to make a northern and southern court?
If this is the case, he will not be able to grasp the power in a short period of time, and he can only endure the situation of being hollowed out.
Xia Yuan was a little dazed, and even felt a trace of fear, although Xia Yuan also understood that what Shen Mufeng said made sense, if he recovered Great Xia, the foundation would be unstable, and he would lose his existing advantages.
But if it is the foundation of the existing order, what does it mean for him, the emperor, what he wants is the right to speak, and what he wants is the authority to control the life and death of the world, which is contrary to what he wants.
And Shen Mufeng, who returned to Lanling County, was shocked to find that Wanqiu and Feng Le, the two girls, were pregnant, and the two of them held their bellies more than five months old, looking at themselves with a smile, they were going to be fathers.
Ruoling and Huang Qiuling were both a little jealous, in the past few days of the New Year, Shen Mufeng was tossed miserably, so after the fifth day of the new year, Shen Mufeng hurriedly fled.
In April of the 142nd year of the Great Xia calendar, Song Wanqiu and Feng Leer gave birth to a boy and a girl respectively, the boy was named Shen Teng by Shen Mufeng, which means taking off, and the daughter was named Shen Leer by Shen Mufeng, and she was happy and carefree all her life.
Shen Mufeng had a son and a daughter, and soon Huang Qiuling's stomach also moved, and now the most anxious person is Xia Ruoling, who can't wait to melt Shen Mufeng every day.
While Shen Mufeng enjoyed the blessings of Qi people, his cultivation also reached the peak of the third layer of the Hades Duel.
For cultivation, in fact, busyness is only one reason, Shen Mufeng also deliberately suppressed his cultivation, coupled with the effect of Wu Yuan Jiu's super condensing vitality, it took three years to reach the peak of the third layer of the Hades Jue.
If it was three years ago, Shen Mufeng would never have dragged down his cultivation progress, but the two advances gave Shen Mufeng a lot of feelings, especially the second time he advanced to the third layer, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was nine deaths, and he almost hung up with broken meridians.
For breaking through the fourth layer, Shen Mufeng was both worried and yearning, the Hades Jue was divided into twelve layers, four great realms, that is to say, the first three layers were essentially just changes in the amount of vitality and the expansion of the dantian meridians.
And the second realm, there will inevitably be a difference in essence, and there will be a great improvement in combat power.
But what worries Shen Mufeng is that the crisis of the last breakthrough is vivid, and the crisis faced by breaking through to the second great realm will also be even greater.
However, as the old saying goes, the more you give, the more you get, and the greater the crisis you face, the greater the gain, how could Shen Mufeng not be moved.
But the problem is that the risk of advancing will only be greater than the last time, and Shen Mufeng really has no confidence in his heart.
And once the advancement fails, even if you don't die, you will become a waste. (To be continued.) )
