There was a lot of wind and snow outside.

Chen Zhou knew very well that the end of the Han Dynasty was about to enter the period of the Xiaoice River.

The weather is cold, that is certain, and it will get colder and colder, which is also one of the important reasons for the demise of the Great Han.

Chen Zhou hid in the carriage, listening to the cold wind howling outside, and also felt cold and shivered.

Come to that factory.

Cao Tai and they were also there today, so they hurriedly invited Chen Zhou in, and when they arrived at the place where distilled liquor was made, there was a stove here, and it was so hot that there was no snow around, so it warmed up.

This factory was expanded by them to a large area.

The scale is also bigger than before the snow.

The pig farm was moved and moved elsewhere, the breeding and the factory were separated, and those pigs were given special care and would not be cold to death for a while.

"Do you have any instructions for this gentleman?"

Cao Fu asked.

Chen Zhou said: "I want to make two very special things, you find a group of literate craftsmen, and a group of craftsmen who know how to make paper, I will be of great use." ”

During the Three Kingdoms period, there must have been paper.

However, the paper of this period could not be written, the manufacturing method was complicated, the cost was very high, and the quality was poor.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, it was difficult to use paper on a large scale.

They don't quite understand what is the use of Chen Zhou looking for such a craftsman, but they can only arrange for someone to find it.

Printing is relatively simple, Chen Zhou still has to do movable type printing, and the literate craftsmen are back, first let them carve a batch of character blocks, or the other way around.

As much as possible, all the words, each word carved more than ten character blocks, the size of the standard should be uniform.

This is a great test of the craftsman's skills.

When the craftsmen who knew how to make paper came back, Chen Zhou taught them the papermaking techniques he saw in textbooks or on the Internet according to his impressions, and improved the papermaking techniques of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The new papermaking technology, although there are many steps, is not complicated, the process is better, the papermaking speed is faster, and the paper can be written and printed.

Those craftsmen never thought that they could make paper like this, and recorded Chen Zhou's skills, and they hurriedly arranged and prepared all kinds of things needed for papermaking.

"Sir, what's the use of making paper and carving those characters?"

Cao Tai asked incomprehensibly.

Chen Zhou pretended to be mysterious and said: "I can't say it for the time being, but you can see its usefulness soon, it shouldn't be difficult to build it now, but the weather is too cold, and the movement may be a little slower." ”

In this case, they are looking forward to it even more.

Referring to the problem of the weather, Cao Fu worried: "Now the weather is cold, getting colder and colder every year, and I don't know how many people are going to be cold, and how many people's houses are collapsed by the snow and are homeless. ”

This was the case in ancient times.

The slightest natural disaster will kill a lot of people.

What's more, this is not an ordinary natural disaster, but the Xiaoice period, and more people may freeze to death.

"It's cold?"

"I have a solution."

"Bring us our coal."

Chen Zhou thought about it and decided to make a honeycomb coal for heating and a stove.

Population is an important cause of development.

If Cao Cao wants to develop, he needs to have a huge population base.

Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, the problem of freezing to death will break out sooner or later, Chen Zhou is now preparing these things in advance, so as not to be in a hurry when the time comes.

Cao Tai and the others learned that they could solve the heating problem, so they hurriedly gathered a group of craftsmen and did what Chen Zhou instructed.

As long as it can be truly done, it will be a great achievement in the future.

This credit will not be small.

They don't know how positive.

Until the evening, Chen Zhou taught them those techniques, and after making sure that they had mastered them, they returned to the city, and as for how to use them next, it was up to them to play freely.

As long as the direction is not deviated, it is no problem.

Back in the city, shake off the snow on your body, and it's time to eat.

Chen Zhou accompanied the people in the family, had dinner happily, and was able to wait for dawn with nothing to do.

Only, tonight.

The ladies arranged Lu Lingqi to Chen Zhou's room.

Lu Lingqi understood that something needed to be done, although there was no wedding banquet, they were also considered husband and wife, and Lu Lingqi was a concubine of Chen Zhou, and she needed to have a cave room tonight.

"I want you to see the wounds on my body, if you think it's ugly, it's hideous...... Then I'll go. ”

Lu Lingqi blushed and said, a little apprehensive.

At that time, the wounds were healed, but the scars were very hideous, especially the places where the stitches had been stitched, the wounds and the marks of needles and threads, like a centipede crawling on the snow-white skin.

The stitches of the wound have been removed a long time ago, and Lu Lingqi feels very scared every time she sees it.

Even she herself was afraid and thought it was not good-looking, thinking that Chen Zhou might think the same.

"Show me."

Chen Zhou hugged Lu Lingqi, and the belt of his clothes gradually widened.

Seeing those wounds, it was indeed very hideous, and it also gave people a terrible feeling, but Chen Zhou was not afraid, and kissed them gently.

"Husband......

Lu Lingqi let out a soft cry and hugged Chen Zhou's head.

Tonight, cheerful and cheerful voices came from the room again.

——

Next.

Wei County, Jizhou.

Liu Bei crossed the river and came here.

Before that, he was reminded by Chen Gong to send a letter of refuge to Yuan Shao in advance, telling Yuan Shao that he would come to Yecheng.

Yuan Shao got the letter and sent someone to reply to Liu Bei, saying that he was willing to accept surrender.

Because Liu Bei was killed from Xudu, it was quite important for Yuan Shao's strategy to cross Henan next.

Although the news of Liu Bei's pretending to be the emperor's uncle was spread by Cao Cao throughout the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao didn't care, whether that genealogy was true or false, everyone who understood it understood, and it was useless to say more if it didn't understand.

Yuan Shao welcomed Liu Bei's arrival.

"Lord, there's news."

After receiving Yuan Shao's response, Sun Qian hurriedly came back and said, "Yuan Shao agreed that we should take refuge." ”

He also handed a copy of Yuan Shao's reply to Liu Bei.

After reading the reply, Liu Bei handed it to Chen Gong and asked, "What does Mr. think?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Naturally, it's good! We borrowed the strength of Yuan Shao to deal with Cao Cao, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao's soldiers are many generals, and it is not a big problem to fight Cao Cao! When the time comes, I will seek to take the Runan region for the lord, annex Yuzhou, and help the lord to divide a piece of land. But in the early stage of the lord, he must temporarily attach himself to Yuan Shao, succumb to Yuan Shao, and wait for Yuan Shao to lead his troops south, and then I will help the lord get out of Yuan Shao's control. ”

"Cao Cao can attach himself to Yuan Shao, and so can I."

Liu Bei said indifferently: "But how can the public station help me get the Runan area?" ”

You must know that Runan and other places are in the south of Yingchuan.

They are about to set off for Yecheng, the distance is so far, it shouldn't be possible to take Runan, right?

"We just need to convince Yuan Shao to do one thing."

Chen Gong said confidently: "That is to open up the second battlefield, from the north and south, to attack Cao Cao, in fact, the lord is in Yecheng, the same as in Xudu, there is a certain danger, I don't recommend the lord to stay in Yecheng for a long time." ”

After all, the owner of Yecheng is Yuan Shao, and they may not be able to accept themselves for a long time.

There are conditions to leave, and you must leave as much as possible, this is Chen Gong's idea.
