Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

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

At this time, he felt lonely as never before.

No one can understand his thoughts, and no one knows his mood at this moment.

After the fall of Cao Wei, he just felt very empty, his heart was empty, and he didn't feel interested in doing anything.

This feeling is like you have gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and finally reached the ultimate goal of life. Looking back, there is no pursuit in life anymore.

The rest, there is only endless loneliness and loneliness.

'When I first came to this world, I just wanted to live safely and smoothly. When I was eight years old, I only wanted to keep my family safe. '

It's a pity that my strength is still too small. With a word from a big man, a village, even a city, a county, and a state capital will all be slaughtered. '

With the help of Duke Xuande, I reluctantly left Xuzhou with the remaining clansmen. The hatred has been buried deep in my heart, and only Cao Ren can't wash away the hatred. '

'So from then on, I had two goals in my heart, one was revenge, and one day I would kill Cao Cao with my own hands, overthrow his Cao Wei Dynasty, and avenge the dead folks and the people of Xuzhou. '

'The second goal is that the people of the Han Dynasty are too miserable. The aristocratic families control the land and the promotion channels. They block the promotion channels for the bottom people, and they are superior and oppress the people. '

'Since then, my goal has been to help Duke Xuande establish an order where everyone has farmland, everyone has food to eat, everyone has books to read, and everyone has an ascending channel. , Don't worry about hunger, cold and warm world. '

"It stands to reason that after the demise of Cao Wei, I completed my first goal. Although I regret not being able to kill Cao Cao myself, at least my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled. I should feel happier and actively devote myself to the second goal." '

'But I don't know why, but I'm still very disappointed, as if I don't have the motivation to continue doing things.It seems that Cao Cao's influence on me is still too great. The demise of Cao Wei made me feel that life has no meaning. '

When Shen Chen returned to the camp, he was lying on the mat in the tent by himself. At this moment, his mind was in a mess. After his revenge, he was flooded with endless emptiness, which made people feel that he had no interest in anything.

But fortunately, he is a smart person, and he didn't force himself to force himself up. Instead, he continued to lie down, empty his mind, and just fell asleep while breathing the north wind outside.

This sleep was very solid, unprecedented solidity.

Because I used to live in the military, there will always be enemies in front of me. When the enemy is by my side, my instinct will make people vigilant. Even when I am sleeping, I will worry about Cao Wei's surprise attack.

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

Time passed bit by bit, and in the evening, Shen Chen woke up, raised his head and saw that there was another person in the tent.

This is Guan Yu's commander's tent, which is usually where Guan Yu held military meetings and dealt with matters, but Guan Yu was not there, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and Zhang Fei were not there. At this moment, only Zhuge Liang was sitting on the side table looking at an official document.

Zhuge Liang was middle-aged, with a goatee growing on his chin, and his temperament was clear and thin. He quietly looked at the document in his hand, trying not to let himself make any sound.

Shen Chen didn't see him when he first got up, and felt a little dizzy, and only saw Zhuge Liang when he looked up.

"Brother."

He sat on the mat with his head supported, supported the table and said, "How long have I been asleep?"

"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 has personally brought the Cao family and many surrendered generals and ministers back to Luoyang."

Shen Chen thought about it.

After the demise of Cao Wei, only Liaodong has not been recovered.

It is estimated that Gongsun Yuan will submit a request for canonization by the imperial court in a month or two. Zhuge Liang will definitely not agree, and a big battle is inevitable.

It's just that such things are really uninteresting, and it is estimated that Zhuge Liang can easily calm down with a general.

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

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

Nowadays, the South not only has the retting technology and Champa rice to increase food production, but also the Quyuanli and Jianche that appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and the rice seedlings and rice seedlings that appeared in the Song Dynasty, etc., have greatly promoted the improvement of productivity. .

The productivity of the Song Dynasty supported 6000 million people with half of the country, which also means that once these technologies are fully promoted, the productivity of the Han Dynasty can be doubled. It is no longer [-] to [-] million people in the previous heyday, but hundreds of millions.

Although no matter how you do it, you can't escape the inefficient productivity of the agricultural society, but you have to eat every bite, and you have to walk step by step.This is not an era in which an agricultural country can be transformed into an industrial country in just a few decades, but a world starting from scratch.

No matter how powerful Shen Chen is, he still can't build steel factories, smelters, and industrialize with his bare hands, so improving agricultural productivity is only the first step, and this step alone may take a long time for the big man, and it will take a long time.

Next, his task is actually no easier than eliminating Cao Wei.Maybe we won't be able to complete the first industrial revolution in our lifetime, but it's good to be able to lay a foundation for the future.

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

"Gongsun Yuan is just a minor problem."

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

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

Shen Chen nodded.

Zhuge Liang then said: "I'll talk about these things later, Xiaoqing, let's talk about your things first."

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

Zhuge Liang also laughed: "I have known Xiaoqing for more than [-] years, how can I not know what's on your mind? After the fall of Cao Wei, do you feel more and more boring in your heart?"

"It's a bit boring, and I can't get motivated lazily."

Shen Chen yawned and stretched. This was something that never happened before. No matter how tired or sleepy he was, he would still maintain his concentration to deal with any crisis that might arise at any time.

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

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

"Leave these things to others."

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

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

He has always remembered the five random things.

But 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 calm down.

Wuhu Luanhua is not because the barbarians are strong, but because the ruling class of the Jin Dynasty was too stupid. The internal strife greatly weakened its own strength, and the wolf was introduced into the house, which eventually led to tragedy.

Now that the Han Dynasty has been reunified and monolithic, as long as the governance of various places is put on the agenda, it will recover in three to five years, and it will soon return to the prosperous period.

At that time, let alone the barbarians on the border, even if Tan Shihuai is resurrected, it will be useless. Let Deng Ai or Jiang Wei go, and they will be able to seal the wolf and live in Xu.

So Shen Chen didn't really have much interest in these barbarians. 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 seriously, looked at him seriously, and said, "I understand the truth, even better than you. Of course I know what I should do, but now I do have some mood problems. Related. You don't have to worry too much, I think very clearly, just let me relax a little, and then I will 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?"

"Take a leave of absence from His Majesty, go home, go to see the late emperor, or go to various places to see, some things can only be solved if you think about it."

Shen Chen thought about it, and it wasn't that he was hypocritical, but that he really had no goal to strive for now, so he had to consider the next step.

Because the promotion of productivity does not require him to do it. Nowadays, the southern imperial examinations, productivity, production relations, etc. are all the truths mentioned in Shen Chen's books, and many candidates who pass the imperial examinations understand it.

Basically, after these people arrived in the place, they would start agricultural work immediately and organize the people to start production immediately. Therefore, it is estimated that after the whole country is recovered, a large number of officials with field experience will be transferred to the north to serve as local officials.

Just as the new era is coming, the country's primary task is to focus on production. Land reform is not just about redistributing land to farmers, but about restoring social order as soon as possible, so that the people can have food first.

That is to say, at least within three to five years, the big man's national strategy does not need Shen Chen to ask, he must consider the future now.

The Industrial Revolution?

Think more.

Relying on the steel pouring method alone can indeed greatly increase steel production.

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

Shen Chen knows the principle of the steam engine, but knowing the principle without blueprints is as difficult as pulling it out with 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 how the craftsman did it, there were various problems, such as tightness, poor kinetic energy, low load, and the kinetic energy produced by boiling water for a long time 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 finally failed without exception.

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

Gunpowder is possible.

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

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

It’s just that there was such a thing at that time, but it was not effectively used. It was not until the Song Dynasty that gunpowder was used to make muskets and smoke balls, and then red cannons, matchlock guns, and flintlock guns appeared in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Shen Chen thought about making gunpowder to flatten Cao Wei, but unfortunately he didn't remember how to make gunpowder, he only remembered that there seemed to be sulfur and charcoal, and he couldn't remember the third thing.

The main reason is that no one will know the specific formula of this thing except for the future generations who love to read historical novels and fireworks manufacturers. He even only watched TV dramas in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", let alone read novels, so he didn't know the formula at all.

This caused him to fight with cold weapons after traveling through so many years.

But recently there is good news.

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

The method of pouring steel 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 any success, but they slowly tried out the gunpowder.

It's just that gunpowder is not yet stable, and the formula ratio has not been explored to perfection, so artillery and muskets have not yet been manufactured.

Maybe after a while the gunpowder formula will be perfectly proportioned and guns will be made.

It will be much more interesting to deal with the grassland people then.

But generally speaking, at least for now, Shen Chen has no other goals. What he is thinking about now is to expand overseas.

A port has been built in Jiaozhou in the south. The original Jingzhou navy is now a tyrant in the South China Sea. It has long occupied Jiaozhi and Luzon. There is no rubber in that place. He plans to let the navy go north along the coastline, all the way from Alaska to North America. go.

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

So Shen Chen felt that the government needed to encourage the people to go to sea.

The progress of the times cannot rely on him alone.

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

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

Moreover, with more people, in North America, we searched for peppers, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, rubber and other products, which can also increase the productivity of the big man. With the popularization of education, there will always be smart people who invent the steam engine, and then start the first industrial revolution. Then come up with internal combustion engines, electric machines, and so on.

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

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

It's almost the end, and I plan to wrap it up, and write more than a dozen chapters for full attendance, and it's enough to finish it satisfactorily.Personally, I won’t write about the first industrial revolution like at the end of the last book. Generally speaking, it was still too young at that time. It took 70 years from the appearance of the steam engine to Watt’s improvement of the steam engine. There were no blueprints and complete industrial design capabilities. There is really no way to complete such a big leap, so the protagonist is just laying the foundation.The next book is about Da Song. After finishing this book, I may rest for more than ten days, go to the hospital for a physical examination, 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. I hope everyone will continue to support it.Because of the experience of two books, the next book is really good, please believe me.
