In the sixth year of Jian'an, the fifteenth day of the first month.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, also known as the Lantern Festival, was founded when Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was established, with a strong historical heritage, belonging to the festival since ancient times, mainly used to worship some ancient gods.

And at this moment, it has been more than ten days since the end of the New Year.

Of course, because of the Lantern Festival, Hefei is still lively today, especially the commercial streets, which are full of people and people.

Even the sons of the family and the rich lady can't help but come out on a day like the Lantern Festival.

As for Chu Feng, he was silent for a few days, and during these times, he mostly communicated with Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Zhuge Liang and others, one of which was to speed up the manufacture of cement.

The other is to implement high-precision machine tools and start semi-industrial production, and for firearms, Chu Feng also tried to try it, but he couldn't get it in a short time.

At this moment, inside the General's Palace.

Chu Feng dealt with government affairs in various places as always,

Gan Ning returned at this moment, his whole person had lost a little weight, and he had become darker, but with a smile on his face, he stepped inside.

"Oh? Xingba, are you back? Seeing Gan Ning, Chu Feng hurriedly asked with concern.

"Back to the lord, the last general has just returned." Gan Ning replied with a fist.

"It's hard work, let's go down and rest first, and come over tomorrow!" Chu Feng waved his hand, Gan Ning was mainly busy near the Yellow River Valley during this time, used to dock with several generals in the Central Plains.

"Lord, the end will not be tired, don't be in a hurry for the time being! Our army's seafaring capabilities are rapidly increasing, and there are two things I would like to ask my lord for advice. Gan Ning clenched his fists and said.

"Oh, let's hear it!" Chu Feng asked curiously.

"First, our warships are extremely huge, and they are the overlords of the sea, and they can completely dominate the surrounding countries, so that the Han flag can sail across the sea and be inserted in the surrounding places."

"In this matter, the last general is confident that he can expand the territory of the Lord's open territory, and the soldiers under the command of the last general have already trained amphibious operations, and they will definitely live up to the trust of the lord."

"Second, with the ship technology provided by you, my lord, our army's ship technology has already broken through the barriers, and it can swim on the vast sea at will,"

"With the size of the merchant ship, the last general thought that it was completely possible to use the fishing boat in the ocean to complete the salvage, and the last general had seen countless sea beasts gather fish and shrimp to swallow in one bite."

"These fish and shrimp in the sea will be eaten often, the taste is incomparably delicious, in the early years to catch the sea for a living is mainly because the warship is too small, now the warship can sail in the sea area can add a port."

Gan Ning hesitated slightly, and said what he wanted to say in his heart.

Chu Feng hesitated slightly, and couldn't help nodding: "Fishing operations in the sea are indeed feasible, the sea is vast, the sea is abundant, and with the current population of the Han Dynasty, it can be fed by the sea alone." ”

Chu Feng didn't mainly focus on the sea, but now that he thinks about it, the resources in the sea are indeed good, and the development of the sea in ancient times is estimated to be less than 1%.

"My lord, it is difficult to fish in the sea, and these fish are not suitable for preservation, even if they are salvaged, if you want to sell these fish, you need a certain storage cost."

"If the use of land capacity is too slow, if the use of water capacity will appear, there will be very few fish and shrimp in the area along the river, rather than fishing in the sea, it is better to work in the river!"

Zhang Zhao immediately clenched his fists and retorted.

It is true that the sea is rich in products, but the key is that the seaside is mostly undeveloped and primeval, and the flow of ancient materials is too slow to do anything.

Chu Feng couldn't help but nodded, not to mention that it was the Han Dynasty now, even in later generations, the seafood in the coastal areas would be cheaper than in the mainland, and the transportation cost would be much higher.

There are mainly two points, transportation and preservation.

"It is feasible to transport mainly by river and sea, and after landing, it is transferred to land transportation, as for preservation, this is indeed a problem, and preservation is nothing more than two aspects,"

"First, to marinate marine fish, it is just possible to open salt pans along the coast to dry salt, and marinate marine fish with coarse salt for storage, so there is no need to worry about the timeliness."

"Second, cold chain transportation! The fish caught are quickly chilled and preserved to preserve their freshness. Chu Feng briefly explained, the sea should indeed be developed.

There are so many poor people in the Han Dynasty, and the sea is enough for the vast majority of people to eat meat.

"My lord, we know that pickling sea fish is troublesome but feasible, but this cold chain transportation can preserve the sea fish cold, how can this be done?"

"In winter, it's okay, there is a lot of ice to store, but in other seasons, especially in summer, the heat is unbearable, the ice is easy to melt, and there is not so much ice to store!"

Tian Feng raised his eyebrows and asked with a bit of curiosity.

"That's right, there's no way to transport it in the cold chain in summer!" Everyone also agreed, although ice can be stored in winter, but if it is used for cold chain transportation, it is too much.

"In the summer, if there is no ice, ice is made, and then an insulated layer is added to the inside of the fishing boat to ensure the freshness of the fish." Chu Feng immediately said loudly.

"Ice-making?" The ministers looked around left and right,

In an instant, everyone was stunned, and they looked at a loss.

Ice-making, what's going on with this thing?

Isn't ice all about winter? Can it still be done artificially?

Thinking of this, everyone swallowed their saliva, looked at Chu Feng, and Tian Feng asked weakly: "Lord, should you say it, do you still know how to make ice?" ”

"Naturally, you know, is it difficult?"

Chu Feng raised his eyebrows, revealing a somewhat surprised expression.

Everyone: "??? ”

Good guy, what a fucking talent.

Their boss pretends to be forced every day, the key is that they can't refute it, they can't imagine this thing at all, can it be cold and frozen in winter, can it be artificial?

"Lord, can the ice be artificial?"

Lu Su swallowed his saliva and asked curiously.

"Of course you can, don't talk about people, when it develops to a certain point, every household has a thing called a refrigerator, and ice can be produced in this thing."

Chu Feng shrugged his shoulders with a natural expression.

"Lord, dare to ask how to make ice cubes?" Fu Zhi was also curious, was there anything in this world that Chu Feng didn't know, they felt that Chu Feng was almost omnipotent.

"It's simple, remember, many things in our lives can react with each other, and I call these reactions chemical reactions."

Chu Feng explained simply,

muttered in his heart, fortunately, he had written about saltpeter ice when he was writing a book before, and he did know a little bit about this thing, and this thing didn't have any technical content.

According to the records, it should be widely used in the Tang Dynasty, and it is estimated that there were some before the Tang Dynasty, but it is impossible to specifically verify it.

"Chemistry?" Everyone was stunned!

"My lord, what is a chemical reaction?" Tian Feng was like a student, looking at Chu Feng with longing, praying that Chu Feng could teach him a little knowledge.

Since following Chu Feng, Tian Feng has made it seem that he is illiterate, and he doesn't know anything.

"A chemical reaction is the process by which a molecule breaks down into atoms, and the atoms rearrange and combine to form new molecules. In the reaction, it is often accompanied by luminescence, heating, discoloration, and the formation of precipitates."

"The basis for determining whether a reaction is chemical is whether the reaction produces new molecules." Chu Feng vaguely remembered a few words about this thing, so he dragged it out and pretended to be a force.

Specifically, he didn't know why.

But that's enough, you see, everyone stared at Chu Feng with big eyes, looking at Chu Feng with a confused expression, good guy, what kind of hanging thing did Chu Feng say,

They've never heard of it at all.

They all knew the words, but when they put them together, they didn't know what they meant.

The doors of the brain are full of question marks,

"My lord, this thing." The crowd hesitated.

It's over, after staying in front of Chu Feng for a long time, they are used to being stupid dogs.

"To put it simply, we can use the saltpeter in the chemical reaction to dissolve in water to absorb heat, and then form ice through physical reaction, forget it, you don't know,"

"Anyway, it's not that hard, it's easy to make ice." Chu Feng waved his hand, with an expression that you don't care.

But everyone's eyes widened and looked at Chu Feng again, with hope in their eyes, and Lu Su even said, "Lord, why don't you give us an experiment?" ”

Everyone who is doing it is a big man, and in contemporary terms, they are all talents of Sashi,

But in front of Chu Feng, this group of talents from the world was like apprentices, and they were all looking forward to Chu Feng being able to teach something.

"Okay!"

"Xu Chu, come here!" Chu Feng shouted, and then said a few words in Xu Chu's ear, Xu Chu immediately responded, and took his guards to start looking for the kind of thing Chu Feng said in Hefei City.

Watching Xu Chu retreat, everyone was also a little more expectant,

It's good to follow Chu Feng to work, you can learn things every day!

For a while, everyone kept talking.

At this moment, Gan Ning was in a hurry, and immediately said: "Lord, you haven't said the first plan yet!" The last general asked for his life, and he was willing to lead his troops and horses to capture Sanhan and plant the Han flag on the land of Sanhan! ”

"Capture Samhan?" Chu Feng raised his eyebrows.

Sanhan Chufeng naturally knows that it is the Korean Peninsula in later generations, and it is also the location of the two places of North Korea and South Korea, but these two places are now called Sanhan in the Chinese history books.

Controlled by three larger alliances,

One is called Ma Han, the second is called Chen Han, and the third is called Ben Han.

Mahan is in the west, there are fifty-four countries, the north is connected with Lelang, the south is connected with the Japanese, and the Japanese are close relatives, and Chenhan is in the east, there are two countries out of ten, and the north is connected.

Benhan is in the south of Chenhan, and there are also two countries out of ten, and the south is also connected with the Japanese, and the Japanese are also close relatives.

"That's right, recently I went out of the Yellow River to the sea area, and often met the fishermen of Sanhan, so I sent people to investigate, and with the strength of the military division in these places, I will be sure to take it down."

"All of them, you can enslave them, mine ore for us, and create material for us." Gan Ning clenched his fists, with excitement, this kind of expansion of territory is indeed exciting.

In an instant, everyone fell into deep thought.

After a while, Tian Feng spoke: "Lord, it is naturally good to expand the territory, but now that the Han Dynasty has not been pacified, at this moment, the battlefield is being opened up in the Far East, thousands of miles away, and the gains outweigh the losses!" ”

"That's right, although Sanhan's strength is low, after all, it is thousands of miles away, whether it is logistics or all aspects, the pressure will increase, and it is unnecessary."

Frustration also spoke.

Chu Feng frowned slightly, they refused that Chu Feng could understand, but Chu Feng obviously felt that they were disgusted with enslaving others, which may be the disadvantage and advantage of Confucian culture.

The reason why China can spread in the long river of history is inseparable from the ability of Confucian culture to help each other, and it is precisely because the assimilation ability of Confucian culture is strong enough that it has been revived in future generations.

But the disadvantage of Confucian culture is that harmony is also precious!

If the alien race has teeth, he dares to have a wave of fierceness with Huaxia, if he can bite down on a piece of meat, then he will have a full meal, and it doesn't matter if he can't bite it, the big man asks you if you are convinced,

Surrender and return the thing to you,

and send someone to repair what you have lost.

Good guy, this culture does have the demeanor of a great country, no wonder it can be assimilated, but it is also more helpless, because knowing that this group of toothed dogs will bite people from time to time, Huaxia is still indifferent.

"There are many ways to enslave, and forced enslavement is destined to have no good results!" Chu Feng opened his mouth and said, there have been too many colonizations of other countries in history, but forced enslavement is definitely not the best choice.

It can only be said that a certain amount of benefits can be obtained for a short time, and this kind of will not last.

"So what to do?" Gan Ning asked puzzled.

"Economic slavery! In this way, it can not only pass on the domestic currency, but also accumulate a large amount of money. The corners of Chu Feng's mouth hooked, isn't this the hegemony of a certain yuan,

As the world's currency, he has the absolute ability to exploit other countries, to put it bluntly, to make the whole world pay for their consumption.

In the same way, it is a military power!

In the continuous harvesting of currency and the continuous reserve of top talents, we can maintain the first layout of military strength, and at the same time win over the younger brother to form a dimensionality reduction strike.

If you dare to pretend to be forced, you can clean it up at any time.

In this way, it can be enslaved without making people rebel too much.

"My lord, what is economic slavery?" Gan Ning was curious, and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all.

"Haha, Xingba, is the money worth or the goods worth? If we could be enslaved by money, that is, our money could buy their stuff whenever and wherever we wanted,"

"To put it bluntly, the food they worked so hard to grow and the things they made were exchanged for just a few coins, so you understand?" Chu Feng chuckled.

The means of colonization Chu Feng is not ready to do it,

But this system of world monetary settlement is viable.

Listening to Chu Feng's explanation, Gan Ning pursed the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart, good guy, what is the difference between this and slavery? It's all about working for yourself!

Sure enough, his boss thinks about everything.

"Sanhan can fight, but the ultimate goal is to promote talks by fighting, and the land of our Han is enough for the time being, and we can use the surrounding small countries to serve our Han."

Chu Feng said loudly.

Listening to Chu Feng's words, everyone nodded one after another.

What Chu Feng said is indeed the best policy, and it is also the best policy that has been confirmed by many parties in later generations.

"There are Buyeo, Goguryeo, Sushen, and Xianbei countries in the north of Samhan, and the Wa kingdom in the south, all of which will be subject states, and at the same time, they must accept the currency settlement system."

Chu Feng made a loud noise,

Although there are many subordinate countries of the Chinese civilization, it is generally supportive, paying attention to showing the demeanor of a great country, and never thinking of deprivation, which is indeed not a good thing.

"How many soldiers and horses can be taken!"
