The popularity of martial arts has determined that the pill will become an indispensable auxiliary product.

It's like people have diseases, so there is a medical industry.

Where there is demand, there is a market.

And this demand is huge. Therefore, the market is absolutely huge.

It is equivalent to creating an industry with huge interests involved out of thin air.

And once the cultivation of medicinal herbs is popularized, the price of pills will be lowered, and ordinary people can also use it, and that is the prosperity of martial arts.

Through major events that affect the course of history, history is reversed and time and space change. But Zhao Yu figured out that the essential changes in history lie not only in the changes of a few major events, but also in the most basic social level.

If this world is transformed into a world where martial arts flourish, and martial arts and foreign technology coexist, what kind of situation will it be?

The talisman chariot and ship can be said to be the reduction and application of the method of the Immortal Dao on the outer Dao, so the popularization of the Martial Dao is the application of the Immortal Dao on the inner level of the person.

The unity of inside and outside, the huge shock to the real time and space, and the changes in it, are what Zhao Yu is most happy to see.

This matter came from Zhao Yu's mouth, and for Cao Mengde, the benefits were huge. However, in terms of the identity and status of the two, there is no need to discuss this in much detail. In a word, Cao Mengde's people will naturally do it.

Then Cao Mengde said: "Now that Jizhou is in control, Gongsun Chan can't stop my troops, at most at the end of the year, Youzhou will also be included in the rule." However, because of this, it will collide directly with the northern barbarians. One is to merge the state, which must be laid, otherwise I will be sorry for the ancestors. Second, Karasuma and Xianbei in the north, especially Xianbei, have a lot of power. I still remember some of my husband's views on barbarians, and I just want to ask him how to properly distinguish them. ”

Zhao Yu listened and knew in his heart. smiled: "Aren't you afraid of barbarianism?"

"Where the words. Cao Mengde shook his head with a smile: "It's just a barbarian, how to put it in my eyes." My soldiers are well fed, and it is not a problem to fight the barbarians. The key lies in what to do with the defeated barbarians, and how to deal with the vast northern steppe desert. That's the problem. ”

"How is it difficult to deal with?"

Zhao Yu said: "It's a simple matter. ”

Cao Mengde said: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

"The northern barbarians are now powerful with Xianbei. However, since the death of Tanshi Huai, Xianbei has been divided into three, and there is no unity inside. I won't say much about that. It's unity, and it's a chicken. At the beginning, Emperor Wu broke the Xiongnu, but he never brought the northern grasslands under his rule. Although it was relocated to the internal surveillance, it was not digested in the end, and now it has become a major harm to the state. This is nothing but your worries. ”

Cao Mengde nodded again and again: "Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment." Sir knows me. Emperor Wu learned from the past, and I am worried about this. The wild land in the north is extremely far away, and there are no people for hundreds of miles, like chicken ribs, and the food is tasteless. But if it is abandoned, it is inevitable that a hundred years later, another barbarian will rise up and threaten the Central Plains Divine Continent. ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and smiled: "Who said that the northern grassland is a wild land?"

Cao Mengde's spirits perked up: "Please teach me, sir." ”

"The barbarian population is the best laborer. Whether you are building roads and cities, or digging rivers and canals, you can use it. And you don't need to use it, free labor, isn't it easy to use?" Zhao Yu said: "You only break the barbarians, capture their strong labor to work, and move women and girls and children inward, and you can be completely integrated in thirty or fifty years." Speaking of the grassland, divide it into blocks and use it for animal husbandry, and it will not take ten years, and there will be no shortage of meat in the world. What's more, there are iron ore and coal mines on the grassland, and even gold and silver mines, how can it be said that they have no value?"

Cao Mengde frowned and said: "Although what Mr. said is not bad, there are two difficulties. First, if we want to develop the northern grasslands, where will the manpower come from? The north has always been a wild land, and few people want to go there. Do you have to force it? Well, there is no second one. It's because I want to be bad, and when the talisman cars and ships are popular, they can fly into the sky and the earth, although the north is far away, it is not a problem. ”

"It's good to know. Zhao Yu smiled: "Distance is not a problem, you can rule." As for the need for population development, of course it is not possible. But it can be tempted. ”

"Oh?"

"As I told you before about the cultivation of medicinal herbs, start from the top first, wait until the people see the benefits, and then slowly let go. If you take the grassland, let your Cao family or Xiahou's family recruit people to go to the grassland to enclose animal husbandry. In a year or two, there will be a large number of cattle and sheep to sell. Over the years, under your rule, the people's livelihood has become more and more prosperous, and the people have money, so they naturally eat their meat, and they are not afraid that they will not be able to sell it. Even if the people don't have more money to eat meat for the time being, they can still supply the army. And once you make a lot of money, you are not afraid that others will not see it. When the time comes, whether it is those businessmen or even some people with flexible brains, they will naturally come to the door. What should I do, and what should I say?"

Cao Mengde couldn't help but suddenly think: "What Mr. said is so right, it's my brain that hasn't turned a corner." That's right, just do it!"

He paused, paced back and forth a few times, and clapped his hands: "Use the barbarians as coolies, and only need some food, and you can quickly build cement roads throughout the country." I also discussed with Wen Ruo before that we would reconnect water conservancy canals such as the chasm, and even open up the water system between the big river, the Huai River and the big river, connecting the north and the south. I'm worried about manpower, oops, why didn't I think of it!"

He seemed to say to himself: "In these years, there have been many wars, and many cities have been ruined, and they need to be repaired with manpower. I can do this with the manpower of a barbarian!"

Zhao Yu looked at Cao Mengde with a smile, and when he came back to his senses, he smiled and said: "Heavy labor often makes the people uneasy. And now it can be grafted to the barbarians. Relaxed, important, Han people come by themselves. Heavy, not technical, let the barbarians work hard. As long as it is planned, at most ten years, it will be possible to build several main roads in the east, west, north and south, running through the entire Shenzhou. As for the side branches, take your time later. Such as canals, canals, is the same principle. It would be a feat to be able to connect the great rivers into one, or even to run through the north through a waterway. It doesn't cost a penny, as long as you have some food, and you don't have to bear the resentment of the people, you can do such a thing, don't you say?"

"Alas," Cao Mengde sighed, "many things seem to be just a piece of paper, often can't see through it, can't do it." And if you see through it, you can do it. ”

"Xianbei, Xiongnu, Karasuma, Qianghu, and even farther west, south, have countless free laborers. Zhao Yu said: "Your soldiers and horses can attack at any time, and you can plunder a large number of laborers at any time." To nourish the land of Shenzhou with the blood of barbarians is not unkind, but great benevolence. ”

"Yes, Daren!" Cao Mengde's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
