Chapter 509: The Thief's Night Song
"I didn't expect General Sun to have a daughter......"
As he spoke, Xia Yu was suddenly stunned, and he suddenly remembered that Sun Jian did have a daughter, and in the story of the Three Kingdoms, that daughter also became Liu Bei's wife.
"That's right, my father does have a daughter, who is also my little sister, her name is Sun Shangxiang, who is now in her twenty-eighth year, and now she should get married." Sun Quan heard Xia Yu's fragmented thoughts and explained casually.
Xia Yu: "......"
Also, now that Sun Quan is in his twenties, Sun Shangxiang is a twenty-eight-year-old girl, and there is no problem.
Fortunately, he almost thought that he was going to smelt copper, after all, in ancient times, women were basically married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and although the girls in their twenties and eighties were a little small, they could at least wait a little longer, not a punishment.
He is not averse to marriage, and he is still single because he only wanted to gain a foothold in this troubled world before, and he didn't have much time to think about these children's affections.
"Ahem, let me think about this matter again, Zhongmou, you go to rest and rest first, just let you taste the food and wine on my side."
Xia Yu didn't give an answer immediately, but asked someone to lead Sun Quan to rest, and he himself went out of the main hall alone and walked casually outside.
At present, it has reached the end of the year, and it will not be long before the time will come to the third year of Chuping.
In the third year of Chuping, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, it was the time when Wang Yun and Lu Buhe murdered Dong Zhuo.
Although the story of Wolong is a magic change, there is no problem with the general historical trend, in the story of Wolong, it was this year that Lu Bu backstabbed Dong Zhuo and snatched the elixir that Dong Zhuo had accumulated.
Xia Yu didn't think about joining in the fun, after all, Fang Tian drew a halberd and stabbed his father-in-law, even if he didn't help, Lu Bu estimated that he would be able to kill Dong Zhuo smoothly.
Although in the game, it was the volunteers who forced Dong Zhuo to a dead end, so that Lu Bu found a chance to kill Dong Zhuo.
But a game is a game, reality is reality, Xia Yu has never regarded reality as a game, and the plot of the game is just a reference for him.
Moreover, under his persuasion, Hongjing did not sneak into Dong Zhuo's side alone, so he had no reason to go there.
"It's okay today, tick the bar and listen to the music."
After realizing that he had nothing to do for the time being, Xia Yu shook his head and prepared to drink a little wine and listen to music.
He's fought a quarter of his life, can't he enjoy it?
It's just that before he could call the dancing girl, Zhuge Liang arrived first and indicated that he had something to report.
Xia Yu: "......"
Tsk, this Zhuge villager didn't come early, he didn't come late, but he came when he was ready to enjoy himself, and he really picked the time.
Although he was reluctant, Xia Yu did not refuse, and he could still distinguish the priorities of the matter.
Soon, Zhuge Liang saw Xia Yu with an unhappy face, although he was a little puzzled about why Xia Yu had a stinky face, but Zhuge Liang didn't think much about it, but reported excitedly.
"My lord, the Wooden Ox Flowing Horse has been successfully developed, and this trap beast can indeed be used to cultivate land, which greatly saves the need for manpower to cultivate land."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Xia Yu's face immediately turned cloudy, and he asked excitedly, "Have you already experimented?" Is it possible to mass produce? Is it difficult to develop a degree of research and development? ”
"This ......"
For these questions, Zhuge Liang looked embarrassed, and his original excitement eased down, and he replied with some embarrassment: "I have experimented, the wooden ox and flowing horse can indeed be used to cultivate the land, and it is not much better than the real cultivated cattle, it can completely replace the cultivated cattle, but it is ......."
"Just?"
Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, and Zhuge Liang also continued to reply: "It's a little troublesome to mass-produce, and it's not convenient to manufacture, because there are a lot of parts to make a wooden ox and a flowing horse, even if it's me, it takes half a month to make one completely." ”
"Shhh...... It's a bit of a hassle. ”
Xia Yu frowned, even the inventor needed half a month to make a complete one, it was so complicated that it couldn't be popularized at all.
The Wooden Ox Flowing Horse is the task assigned by Xia Yu to Zhuge Liang, but unlike the Wooden Ox Flowing Horse in history, what he wants Zhuge Liang to make is a real bionic mechanical beast, the kind that can replace the ploughing ox and plough the land.
When he gave Zhuge Liang this task, he had already told the other party that if he could do his best, he would just be able to do it, after all, it would be a bit unrealistic to think about it.
Although he said this, Zhuge Liang was very interested, because in Xia Yu's inform, the wooden ox and flowing horse can replace the ploughing ox to plough the land, and if it is really manufactured, it can greatly improve the production of grain.
In ancient times, the most important thing was the production of grain, and it was precisely because of the lack of food and clothing that there would be the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The same is true of war, without food, let alone winning, and even marching with hunger will become a problem.
Perhaps because of the difference in the world, and the supernatural power in this world, Zhuge Liang really created a wooden ox and a horse trap beast that can cultivate the land.
It's just that it's quite complicated to manufacture, and if you want to really replace the cultivated cattle, it obviously can't be done.
"Lord, Liang went down first, and the wooden ox flowed ...... Sure enough, it needs to be improved. ”
Zhuge Liang had calmed down at this time, and after realizing that mass production was unrealistic, he immediately wanted to go back and improve the wooden cattle and horses to reduce its complicated manufacturing process.
It's just that before he could leave, Xia Yu suddenly stopped him.
"Wait!"
"Huh?"
Zhuge Liang turned around in confusion, Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, but still made up his mind and said.
"I have a way, and it's called the assembly line method."
"Assemblieu line method?" Zhuge Liang repeated a sentence in confusion, it was a noun that he had never heard of, and his lord would say something unheard of by these people every time.
"That's right, that's a way to produce wooden cattle and horses in large quantities, no, not only wooden cattle and horses, as long as this method can be realized, anything complicated can be produced cheaply and in large quantities."
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang was a little stunned, after all, Xia Yu's words were too unbelievable in this era.
For Zhuge Liang's shock, Xia Yu is not surprised, after all, this method is equivalent to the arrival of industrialization, and for the Three Kingdoms era, there is indeed a trace of advancement.
But if he wants to mass-produce wooden cattle and horses, he really can't think of any other way besides the industrialized assembly line.
After sorting out the wording in his mind a little, Xia Yu opened his mouth to explain: "The so-called assembly line method is to standardize the production process of wooden cattle and horses, including the cutting standards, size standards and so on of each part. ”
"Then refine each step of manufacturing the wooden ox flowing horse, refine to the point that each part can be made by ordinary people, and wait until all the parts are completed, and then assemble them one by one in batches according to the steps, so that mass production can be realized."
"Those ordinary people don't need to learn how to make wooden oxen and horses, they just need to learn how to make parts, so that even if it is troublesome to manufacture, mass production can be achieved."
"Besides......"
Xia Yu, who was about to continue, paused slightly, but continued with a complicated expression.
"In this world where even having enough to eat every day is a luxury, as long as the people can eat enough every day, then they can do anything."
"Maybe for a full meal, let those people work for eight hours, and they will be grateful to Dade."
Zhuge Liang, who was still amazed by Xia Yu's whimsy, couldn't help but have a black line when he heard Xia Yu say this.
"Lord, although the people are easily satisfied, it is still a bit too much to work for eight hours to have a full meal a day."
"Of course I do, I'm just describing it."
Xia Yu glanced at Zhuge Liang, he was still young, and he didn't want to hang the street lamp for the time being.
But when he came up with this method, even if he didn't have this idea, someone would definitely think of it in later generations.
"Well, that's it."
Xia Yu shook his head, no longer thinking about the distant future, at least for now, this can be regarded as a kind of progress.
In the following time, Xia Yu and Zhuge Liang discussed how to implement the assembly line and various problems that may be encountered in the implementation.
Although he said it well, there is still a long, long way to go, and it is impossible to achieve it at least in the near future, but at least there is a goal that can be worked on.
Time passed again, and it was not until the beginning of spring in the following year that the assembly line factory began to take shape.
And the first item made by the factory was the wooden ox flowing horse improved by Zhuge Liang, with the wooden ox flowing horse, Xia Yu directly recruited the homeless, any homeless people because of the war, he accepted them all, and promised to let the other party have enough to eat every day.
Because he clearly knows one thing, in ancient times, population was the primary productive force.
Of course, the other princes did not understand this truth, but some princes themselves were short of food, even if they wanted to help the displaced people to make a name for themselves, they were powerless.
Moreover, this is an era of fragmentation, and everyone is trying their best to expand their territory, and they do not have the heart to care about the displaced people who have been displaced by the war.
Therefore, Xia Yu's move to accept the exiles also brought him a reputation far beyond that of other princes.
Two months later, the news that Dong Zhuo was assassinated by Lu Bu came, and Lu Bu suddenly betrayed Dong Zhuo, seized the pill, and left Yiwu at the same time.
After learning the news, all the princes looked different, but no one cared, after all, after the end of the battle against Dong Zhuo, the local warlords had long since stopped paying attention to the central power of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Their own forces are overwhelmed, and they don't have time to pay attention to them.
Xia Yu didn't pay much attention here, he just stabbed his father-in-law, and it wasn't an earth-shattering event, sprinkling water.
But when Sun Jian learned about this, he ran to him with great interest.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that guy to live so long and be planted in the hands of his own righteous son, he really deserves it."
Sun Jian laughed while tasting the wine and food prepared by Xia Yu in advance.
Xia Yu also accompanied the wine on the side, and at the same time nodded and answered Sun Jian's words, and the two talked while pushing the glass and changing the lamp.
Under Xia Yu's persuasion, Sun Jian drank one cup after another, and soon, he fell to the ground unconscious, and Xia Yu had to ask someone to carry him into the room prepared in advance, so that the other party could rest well.
"Huh, this General Sun, you really come to me to eat if you have nothing to do."
After Sun Jian left, Xia Yu sighed tiredly, and took a bite of food by the way.
"Because the food here is so delicious, my father will never forget it, and if my husband is annoyed, I can lend the cook to my father."
Sun Shangxiang on the side poured a glass of wine for Xia Yu and laughed at the same time.
As early as the beginning of the year, Xia Yu and Sun Shangxiang got married under the witness of Sun Jian, and the connection between Sun Xia and the alliance became closer.
Now the two can almost be said to have divided the territory of the southeast equally, because of the alliance between the two, the other princes rarely have the idea of fighting this side.
If you have to stick to your head, you may even lose your own territory.
Hearing his wife's suggestion, Xia Yu pouted and said, "That's okay, the chef has been trained for a long time before I can make the food to my taste again and again, if it is really borrowed, then I won't have to eat it." ”
In this era, the seasoning was not as rich as that of later generations, and even the chili pepper was not available, so he could only use dogwood, the local Chinese "chili", instead.
It was not easy for him to train the cook to make meals that slightly suited his taste, and he didn't want to lend them to others so easily.
Well, it was decided, after the unification of the Central Plains, I would go to conquer and colonize Europe, and strive to bring back all the seeds of peppers, corn, cucumbers, and tomatoes here.
After hearing Xia Yu's reason for being reluctant to lend the cook, Sun Shangxiang was speechless for a while, thought for a while and said: "Then the slave family will go to the cook to learn, and when the slave family can make a good table of dishes for the husband, the husband will not have to take such a fancy to the cook." ”
Xia Yu shook his head and said: "Then forget it, madam, you are the eldest lady who does not touch the spring water with ten fingers, if your father sees it, he may blame me." ”
"That's it, General Sun can stay as long as he wants, anyway, it's just more pairs of chopsticks, but the wine is estimated to be not enough, after all, the wine still needs time to be brewed, if the wine is drunk by General Sun, then I guess he will have to leave if he doesn't leave."
As he spoke, Xia Yu himself laughed, his wine storage here, even if Sun Jian was drunk every day, he would have to drink it for half a year.
After all, in addition to being a drink, wine can also be used for medical disinfection, etc., and the more the merrier, the more the merrier.
In the following days, Sun Nut was drunk every day, and Sun Ce was guarding Jiangdong, the former Jiangdong Tiger was semi-retired.
At the same time, unlike the peaceful atmosphere in Jingzhou, there was endless war everywhere in other places.
Liu Bei succeeded Tao Qian, who died of illness, as the pastor of Xuzhou, and Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, died of illness, and his son Liu Zhang took over, breaking with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and the two sides confronted each other.
Ma Teng, Han Sui and others developed their own forces in Liangzhou and Yongzhou, and Gongsun Zhan defeated Liu Yu and then occupied Youzhou, but not long after, he was defeated by Yuan Shao.
After Yuan Shao occupied Han Fu's Jizhou, he then defeated Tian Kai, Zang Hong, Gongsun Zhan and others, mastered the four prefectures of Qing, Hebei, You, and He, and dominated Hebei with strong momentum.
Cao Cao fought everywhere, incorporated the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army of about 100,000 men, women and children, and selected its elite to form the famous "Qingzhou Army".
