Shen Chen walked towards the camp, leaving only a bleak back for everyone.

At this time, he felt lonely like never before.

No one could understand his thoughts, and no one knew how he was feeling at the moment.

After Cao Wei was destroyed, he only felt extremely empty, his heart was empty, and he didn't mention any interest in doing anything.

This feeling is like you have gone through a lot of hardships and dangers, and finally reached the ultimate goal of life, and looking back you have nothing to pursue in life.

All that's left is endless loneliness and bits and pieces.

When I first came into this world, I just wanted to live safely and smoothly, and when I was eight years old, I just wanted to be able to keep my loved ones safe. ’

It's a pity that his own strength is still too small, and a word of a big man, a village, even a city, a county, and a state capital will be slaughtered. ’

With the help of Xuande Gong, I reluctantly left Xuzhou with the remnants of the clansmen, and the resentment has been buried deep in my heart, and Cao Ren alone cannot wash away the hatred. ’

So from then on, I had two goals in mind, one was revenge, one day I would kill Cao Cao with my own hands, overthrow his Cao Wei dynasty, and avenge the villagers and the people of Xuzhou. ’

The second goal is that the people of the Han Dynasty are too bitter, and the family gate valve controls the land and the ascending channel, and they block the passage for the promotion of the people at the bottom, and they are high above, oppressing the people as a prestige. ’

From then on, my goal was to help Xuande Gong and build an orderly world where everyone had farmland, everyone had food, everyone had books, everyone had a way to rise, and there was no need to worry about hunger, cold, and warmth. ’

"It stands to reason that after Cao Wei's demise, I completed my first goal, although I regret that I couldn't kill Cao Cao with my own hands, but at least I have fulfilled my long-cherished wish, and I should be happier and actively invest in the second goal." ’

But I don't know why, I'm still very lost, and I feel like I don't have the motivation to continue doing things. It seems that Cao Cao's influence on me is still too great, and the demise of Cao Wei makes me feel that I have no meaning in life. ’

Shen Chen returned to the camp and lay alone on the mat in the tent, at this time his mind was in turmoil, after the revenge was avenged, it was endless emptiness and drowning, making people feel that they were not interested in anything.

But fortunately, he was a smart man, and he didn't force himself to force himself to lift his energy, but continued to lie down, empty his brain, and simply fell asleep with the north wind blowing outside.

I slept soundly, unprecedentedly steadily.

Because I used to live a military career, there would always be enemies in front of me, and when the enemy was next to me, instinct would make people vigilant, even when I was sleeping, I would worry about Cao Wei's surprise attack.

But now there is no need to think about this anymore, Cao Wei is completely destroyed, his enemies are gone, and there is nothing to guard against.

Time passed little by little, and in the evening, Shen Chen woke up and looked up to see that there was one more person in the tent.

This is Guan Yu's main general's tent, which is usually the place where Guan Yu holds military discussions and deals with things, but Guan Yu is not there, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao and Zhang Fei are not there, and at this moment, only Zhuge Liang is sitting next to him looking at an official document.

Zhuge Liang was middle-aged, with a goatee growing on his chin, a clear and thin temperament, quietly looking at the paperwork in his hand, trying not to let himself make even a little sound.

Shen Chen didn't see him when he first got up, he felt a little dizzy in his head, and when he raised his head, he saw Zhuge Liang.

"Brother."

He sat on the seat with his head propped up, propped up the table and said, "How long have I been asleep?" ”

"It's been more than two hours."

"So long?"

"yes."

Zhuge Liang put down the official document in his hand and said with a smile: "You are too tired. ”

"How is the Cao family?"

Shen Chen asked.

Zhuge Liang said: "The generalissimo personally took the Cao family and many generals and ministers back to Luoyang. ”

Shen Chen thought for a moment.

After the fall of Cao Wei, only Liaodong remained that had not been recovered.

It is estimated that Gongsun Yuan will go to the table to ask for the canonization of the imperial court in less than a month or two, and Zhuge Liang will definitely not agree, and a big war is inevitable.

It's just that this kind of goods is really not interesting, and it is estimated that Zhuge Liang can easily calm down by sending a master general.

So to some extent, the world has been restored to unity.

The next thing to do is to digest the whole north, start the land reform, liquidate the family, promote agriculture, education, imperial examinations, increase productivity, and restore a peaceful and prosperous era.

Nowadays, in the south, there is not only the technology of manure and the rice of Zhancheng to increase grain production, but also the Quyuan plough and simple car that appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and the seedling horses and rice seedlings that appeared in the Song Dynasty, have all appeared, which have a very great role in promoting the improvement of productivity.

The productivity of the Song Dynasty fed 100 million people with half of the country, which also means that once these technologies were fully promoted, the productivity of the Han Dynasty could be doubled, no longer the 50 or 60 million people in the previous heyday, but hundreds of millions.

Although no matter how hard you try, you can't escape the inefficient productivity of the agricultural society, but you have to eat the rice one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step. This is not an era in which an agrarian country can be transformed into an industrial nation in just a few decades, but a world that starts from scratch.

No matter how powerful Shen Chen is, he can't get out of the steel mill, smelter, and industrialization with his bare hands, so improving agricultural productivity is only the first step, and this step alone may take a long time.

Next, his task was actually no easier than eliminating Cao Wei. You may not be able to complete the first industrial revolution in your lifetime, but it would be nice to lay a foundation for the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Chen said, "Brother is still staying in Yecheng, is he planning to go north to eliminate Gongsun Yuan?" ”

"Gongsun Yuan is just a minor trouble."

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Now there is Wuhuan Xianbei Kouluo on the northern border, and I plan to send people north to Youzhou." ”

He was talking about sending people, not leading the army.

Shen Chen nodded.

Zhuge Liang then said: "Let's talk about these things later, Xiaoqing will talk about your affairs first." ”

Shen Chen pointed at himself and smiled, "What can I do." ”

Zhuge Liang also laughed: "I have known Xiaoqing for more than 30 years, how can I not know your heart, after the fall of Cao Wei, do you feel more and more bored in your heart?" ”

"It's a little boring, lazy and can't get motivated."

Shen Chen yawned and stretched, this was something that would never happen before, no matter how tired and sleepy he was, he would maintain his mental concentration to deal with the crises that might arise at any time.

But now that the crisis has been lifted, I suddenly feel that I am invincible in the world, and I have no opponents and no enemies, so I suddenly relaxed, and the whole person is extremely relaxed.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Xiaoqing, the world is not completely stable, and we still have a lot of things to do." ”

"Leave these things to someone else."

Shen Chen raised his head and looked at the top of the tent, and said lazily: "Anyway, whether it's the Hu people or Gongsun Yuan, I don't want to go." ”

It's not that he's completely lazy or looks down on Hu Ren and Gongsun Yuan.

He has always remembered the things of Wuhu Chaohua.

It's just that at least what did the Hu people before the Jin Dynasty say?

It is not an exaggeration to use hanging.

During the Three Kingdoms period in history, any country faced the Hu people on its own borders, and it was basically easy to pacify.

It was not that the Hu people were strong, but that the ruling class of the Jin Dynasty was too stupid, and the civil strife greatly weakened its own strength, coupled with the introduction of wolves, which eventually led to tragedy.

Now that the Han Dynasty is reunified and monolithic, as long as the governance of various places is put on the agenda, there will be a three-to-five-year recovery, and it will soon return to the prosperous period.

When the time comes, don't talk about the border Hu people, even if it is the resurrection of Tanshi Huai, it is useless, let Deng Ai or Jiang Wei go, and they can seal the wolf Juxu.

Therefore, Shen Chen actually didn't have much interest in these Hu people, and when the Han Dynasty used troops abroad, there was no need for an existence of his level to go out, just train Deng Ai Jiang Wei and other young generals.

Hearing Shen Chen's words, Zhuge Liang looked at him seriously and seriously: "Xiaoqing, this is not like you, you used to always say that life should have pursuits and goals, why did you become like this now?" ”

"Brother."

This time, Shen Chen sat up solemnly, looked at him seriously and said, "I understand everything, even more than you." Of course I know what I'm supposed to do, but right now I do have some emotional problems, and it's psychological. You don't have to worry too much, I think about it myself, just let me relax a little bit, and then I'll do what I need to do. ”

Zhuge Liang continued to look at him for a long time before he sighed and said, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”

"Say goodbye to Your Majesty, go home, go to see the first emperor, or go around and take a look, there are some things that can only be solved if you want to open them."

Shen Chen thought about it, it wasn't that he was hypocritical, but that he really didn't have any goals to strive for now, so he had to think about the next step.

Because he doesn't need to do the promotion of productivity, now the southern imperial examination is a scholar, productivity, production relations, etc. are all the truths that Shen Chen said in his book, and many candidates who have passed the imperial examination understand it.

Basically, as soon as these people arrive in the localities, they will immediately start agricultural work and organize the people to produce immediately, so it is estimated that it will not be long before a large number of officials with field experience will be transferred to the north to serve as local officials after the whole country is recovered.

Just as the new era of the future generations has arrived, and the country's primary task is to grasp production, land reform is not only to redistribute land to the peasants, but also to restore its own social order as soon as possible, so that the people can have food first.

In other words, at least in three or five years, the national strategy of the Great Han does not need Shen Chen to ask, and he must consider the future now.

Industrial Revolution?

Think too much.

Steel filling alone can indeed greatly increase steel production.

But without the steam engine, the first industrial revolution could not be realized, and without the first industrial revolution, naturally there would be no second industrial revolution to bring mankind into the electric age.

Shen Chen knew the principle of the steam engine, but it was difficult to just know the principle without drawings and want to pull it out with his bare hands, Shen Chen was an architectural designer in his previous life, not an engineer.

So he once told the craftsman the principle, but no matter what the craftsman did, there were all kinds of problems, such as sealing, poor kinetic energy, low load, and boiling water for half a day, the kinetic energy produced was not as good as manual picking.

Don't think that the steam engine is simple, this thing is very technical, Shen Chen spent a lot of steel, and in the end it all failed.

Therefore, it is not realistic to build a steam engine in a short period of time.

Gunpowder is possible.

Although this thing only appeared in the Tang Dynasty, it actually existed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Because the cultivation of immortals in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was more popular, Taoist priests liked alchemy, and they dared to throw any messy things into the Dan furnace, and finally made gunpowder.

It's just that there was this thing at that time, but it was not effectively used, until the Song Dynasty used gunpowder to make assault guns, wolf smoke balls, and then in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were red-coated cannons, arquebuses, and flintlock pistols, which were popularized.

Shen Chen had thought about making gunpowder to bulldoze Cao Wei, but it was a pity that he didn't remember how the gunpowder was made, only remembered that there seemed to be sulfur and charcoal and the like, and he couldn't remember the third thing.

The main reason is that this thing is not known to anyone except for the future generations who love to watch history and fireworks manufacturers, and he only watches TV series in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", let alone "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so he doesn't know the formula at all.

This has led him to fight with cold weapons for so many years.

But there's good news lately.

Huangmen Pavilion has always inhabited Xinye County, Nanyang, where the back mountain has always been Shen Chen's casting base.

The steel filling method was born here, and a large number of weapons and equipment were also born here.

Shen Chen asked the craftsmen to experiment with the steam engine here for more than 20 years without making any reputation, but the gunpowder was slowly tried by them.

It's just that the gunpowder is still unstable, and the formula ratio has not yet been perfected, so artillery and muskets have not yet been manufactured.

Maybe after a while, when the ratio of gunpowder recipes is perfect, guns can be made.

When the time comes, it will be much more interesting to deal with the steppe peoples.

But overall, at least for now, Shen Chen has no other goals, and he is now thinking about expanding overseas.

A port has been built in Jiaozhou in the south, and the original Jingzhou Navy Division is now a hegemon in the South China Sea, and has long occupied Jiaozhi and Luzon, and there is no rubber in that place, and he plans to let the Navy Division go north along the coastline, all the way from Alaska to North America.

Agricultural people are also land peoples, and it is not so easy to stay on land for a long time and develop for a long time. What's more, due to the nature of agriculture, after the productivity is improved, the people will have enough food and clothing, and they will also lack the pioneering spirit.

Therefore, Shen Chen felt that the government was needed to encourage the people to go to sea.

The progress of the times cannot be relied on by him alone.

In the future, when the Han Dynasty returns to peace and prosperity and the population grows substantially, there will be more problems to be solved.

Only by cultivating everyone's positive adventurous spirit and opening up the whole world earlier, then sooner or later the Han Empire will govern the grasslands, deserts, and oceans.

And there are more people, and they have found peppers, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, rubber, and other products in North America, which can also improve the productivity of the Han Dynasty, and under the popularization of education, there will always be smart people who invent the steam engine, and then start the first industrial revolution, and then make the internal combustion engine, electric engine, and so on.

The development of the times requires an overall process, and the power of the individual can only play a role in fueling the troubles.

At least Shen Chen believes that his current future direction is to lay a foundation.

It's almost the end.,I'm going to wrap it up.,Write a dozen more chapters and mix the whole work.,Just end it successfully.。 Personally, I won't write about the first industrial revolution like the end of the last book, but in general, it was still too young at that time, seventy years passed from the appearance of the steam engine to the improvement of the steam engine by Watt, and there was really no way to complete such a big leap without drawings and complete industrial design capabilities, so the protagonist was just laying a foundation. The next book is written about the Great Song Dynasty, and after this book is written, you may rest for more than ten days, go to the hospital for a physical examination or something, take a few days off, and then start a new journey. For Silver Fox, it has come to an end, and for me, it is a new starting point, and I hope you will continue to support. Because of the experience of two books, the next book is really good, please trust me.
