Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 257

another six months later

Yongchu fifth year (AD 111)
The world is becoming more and more like the period of the Yuan Emperor in the former Han Dynasty. It is clear that the people are full of power, and all kinds of scholars who are well-educated in Confucian classics are in office, but the living standards of the common people are constantly declining. Some people starve to death.

Scholars don't understand why this is so, it shouldn't be because they have embezzled some money that the people's lives have deteriorated, right?Certainly not, after all, I have only been greedy for a little bit, and it will not ruin the world, so the decline in the living standards of ordinary people must be due to the eunuchs, as long as the eunuchs are killed, there will be a blue sky, and the world will be peaceful!
A lot has happened in the past few years.

First, the Qiang people rebelled, and the Han army was repeatedly defeated. Although it was finally put down four months ago, the Qiang people rebelled again a month ago, and they were about to be put down again.

Then the Goguryeo bandits entered the Kanto region to plunder wantonly, and gave Liaodong one billion [Liao pay], and asked Liaodong to use the money to recruit soldiers and horses to block Goguryeo.

Then there was a major earthquake in nineteen counties in the Central Plains, and a large number of people were affected. The imperial court spent a large sum of money on disaster relief. Many gentry took the opportunity to annex land in the disaster-stricken area. Turning a blind eye, pretending not to see, letting the eunuchs and the gentry do what they did, the gentry and the eunuchs united to suck blood from the world.

Then, due to three consecutive years of drought in Luoyang, Yanzhou, Jizhou and other places, food harvests were cut off, and there were more than 50 refugees. There was a believer in Hongyan Taoism named Zhang Bolu. He led more than 3000 refugees to rebel in Qingzhou. With an army of [-], whenever the officers and soldiers went to destroy Zhang Bolu, Zhang Bolu would take his people to the sea, and when the officers and soldiers left, Zhang Bolu would return to Qingzhou and continue to attack the city. However, Liaodong said that it has no money to train the navy on the grounds of insufficient military expenditure. If it wants to wipe out this group of pirates, it has to pay more!But the imperial court stated that they had no money, so this group of pirates has never been wiped out, and they have always been active.

Then, while the Han Dynasty was busy suppressing civil strife, the Southern Huns rebelled, and tens of thousands of Southern Huns cavalry went south to plunder Yuyang County, Shanggu County, and Dai County. Liaodong sent [-] Liaodong County soldiers to help Yuyang County.

In such an extremely bad situation, there was a [total solar eclipse] in the sky today.

The big man originally believed in prophecy, and was very interested in those mystical theories, so some depressed and humble children took the opportunity to compile prophecy: [The sun will burn, and the Han will perish]

As the saying goes, when an empire goes downhill, someone must accelerate the empire, so the Liaodong royal family is ready to invest in new heroes, and continue to be the founding hero of the new dynasty!
Whenever the world is in chaos, the Wang family will start to prepare for the coming chaos, which is called being prepared.

For example, the end of Emperor Wu, the period of Emperor Ping, the period of Xinmang, and the period of Emperor Guangwu.

In these few periods, the world was in chaos, so the royal family predicted that the imperial court would fall and heroes would rise.

However, the royal family of Liaodong predicted so many times that the world would fall and the heroes would rise, but only Xinmang's prediction was successful, and the other times were survived by the court.

This time, the Wang family is predicting that the world will fall and the heroes will rise, so the children of the family are actively preparing for the war, and have already begun to debate which princes should invest in after the world is in chaos.

"Everyone, it's too early to argue about which princes to invest in. We can safely gather funds to develop our own strength. We will discuss who will be the founding hero when the world is really in chaos."

In the family meeting hall, Jia Cheng said this to a group of family officials who were discussing which princes should invest.

Afterwards, everyone continued to discuss matters related to the development of the family. In fact, it was mainly about the [Niu Huang] issue.

Although a month ago, the craftsmen finally developed a new iron plow after 20 years. The Wang family named this new iron plow [Quyuanli] according to the structure of this new iron plow.

The invention of [Quyuanli] greatly improved the efficiency of the Wang family's overseas land reclamation. Those craftsmen who invented [Quyuanli] were also rewarded with 3000 million five baht coins.

The Wang family has always been generous with rewards for those inventions that can improve the productivity of the Wang family.

With the invention of [Quyuan plow], those extra prairie pony horses were also harnessed to iron plows to open up wasteland, making the problem of cattle shortage less serious.

But grassland horses are definitely not as efficient as cattle in reclaiming wasteland, so the Wang family bought cattle in grasslands and the Central Plains.

Of the one billion [Liao pay] given by the imperial court every year, the Zhang family allocated 900 million, the Li family allocated 100 million, and the Wang family allocated [-] million. The remaining [-] million was used to repair the city defenses and guard against Goguryeo and the Southern Huns.

The 900 million yuan was used by the Wang family to buy cattle, which caused the price of cattle in the Central Plains and grasslands to continue to rise.

Three years ago, a farm ox in the Central Plains cost only [-] yuan. Now, the price of a farm ox in the Central Plains has risen to [-] yuan.

After the Zhang family and the Li family divided the money, they frantically merged the land. The Zhang family and the Li family now have [-] tenant farmers, and they have increased the training of the family's private soldiers. They also purchased a large number of armor and weapons from the Wang family to improve the combat effectiveness of the private soldiers and strengthen the manor. city ​​defense.

The walls of the manors of the three major families are higher and thicker than the walls of the imperial capital of Luoyang, the Great Han Dynasty.

"Now we rely on high prices to buy cattle, and we barely have enough cattle to open up wasteland, but this is not a long-term solution. Our Wang family cannot always be taken advantage of." A family secretary said.

"We have to find a way to make the Southern Xiongnu as obedient as the Wuhuan before, and obediently sell the livestock to us at a low price." Another family secretary said.

"If you don't write to the imperial court, let the imperial court dispatch troops to sweep the southern Huns and weaken the strength of the southern Xiongnu, so that we can better control the southern Xiongnu."

"Now that the court is busy suppressing the Qiang people, I'm afraid they won't be able to spare any effort."

All the relatives were discussing the solution to the [Niu Huang], and they all thought of Li Ting Sweeping Caves.

In the past, the royal family swept Wuhuan three times, and obtained hundreds of thousands of cattle and horses, but the result was that Wuhuan, the vassal of the Han Dynasty, was directly exterminated.

If you have the ability to plow the court and sweep the caves, you will directly grab them. If you are not able to plow the court and sweep the caves, you will rely on trade. Anyway, you must get cattle and horses.

Magpie Island (Shikoku Island, Japan)
Magpie City

Doctor's Palace
This is where the doctors of the Wang Family conducted human experiments.

Thousands of Japanese men, women and children were imprisoned, and many Wang family doctors were adjusting various medicines.

The Wang family has a rule that no matter what results the doctors have researched, whether it is useful or useless, the Wang family will give a lot of rewards.

Therefore, various poisons, antidotes, stimulants, tormenting medicines, healing medicines, painkillers and other achievements have been developed in the past 100 years.

At least [-] Koreans and Japanese died in medical experiments.

Two years ago, a doctor debugged a medicine that seemed to be able to prevent the plague. In order to prove whether the medicine was effective, the doctors bought many plague-infected patients from the Central Plains, and then compared the plague patients with the Japanese People were held in different large secret rooms.

Some secret rooms are ventilated, some secret rooms are not ventilated, some secret rooms are dark and humid, and some secret rooms are sunny, in order to obtain the infection status of the plague in different natural environments through controlled experiments.

The final result is that this medicine can only slightly improve the human body's resistance to the plague at most, and it cannot fundamentally prevent the plague at all.

Even so, the doctor still received a reward of 100 million yuan.

Today, the team of doctors feeds the various medicinal powders they have developed to the Japanese people, and obtains the specific effects of the medicinal powders through actual situations.

Most of the Japanese who ate the strange powder had their faces distorted, and some did not respond.

but……

There was a Japanese man who had fair complexion and ruddy skin after eating a pack of white powder. His whole body was extremely dry and hot, and his eyes were full of desire.

"What kind of medicinal powder is used for this consumable?" asked the leader of the medical team.

"It's No. 12 medicinal powder of C class, which is made from five kinds of stone powders." A doctor replied.

"Quick! Feed this medicinal powder to other Japanese people, old people, young people, teenagers, and children. Every kind of Japanese people should be fed, and every Japanese people must be male or female. We also need to know the effect of this medicinal powder on different genders. Japanese people of the same type and gender should be divided into two types: healthy and weak, so that we can know how people with different physical strengths react to the medicine powder."

"Hurry up and feed them, we may have discovered another amazing potion!" The leader of the medical team excitedly said, he couldn't wait to take the experimental results to the Wang family to receive the reward.

After a while, two healthy Japanese girls, two weak Japanese girls, two healthy Japanese teenagers, and two weak Japanese teenagers, two of each, so that the same test items can also be compared.

After a while, these Japanese people who had taken [C Class No. 12] medicine powder all had fair complexion, smooth and blood-red skin, and rosy white, which can be said to be broken at the fingertips.

But those weak Japanese people, as well as the old Japanese people, bleed to death from their seven orifices after taking this medicinal powder.

"Quick! Continue to feed more Japanese people!"

The person in charge of the medical team ordered everyone and asked his medical master (secretary) to quickly record these precious experimental data.

After that, after spending more than 200 Japanese lives for one month, the team of doctors finally figured out the effect, side effects, and mechanism of action of the [No. 12] medicine powder.

"Gentlemen, hard work pays off, we have developed a new powerful potion, a potion that can make people go into heat, have rosy skin, produce hallucinations, and become addicted!" The person in charge of the medical team said to the crowd. The doctor said happily.

"Then [Class C NO.12], what should be the name of the powder?" Another doctor asked, everyone who develops a new achievement can name the new achievement. If you don't name it, the Wang family will come name.

"Since it is made from five kinds of medicinal powders, why not call it... Wushi Powder!" said a doctor.

"It has the effect of warming the whole body, resisting cold, and making people anorexia, and it is made of stone powder. I think it should be named... Han Shi San!" Another doctor said.

……

One month later

"Cold stone powder (five stone powder)?"

Looking at the application report submitted by the Magpie City Doctor Palace in her hand, Wang Jiacheng was surprised, especially the word "addiction", which made her eyes shine.

If this thing called Hanshisan is sold to the Southern Huns, the nobles of the Southern Xiongnu will be addicted, and then in order to buy Hanshisan, they have to sell a lot of livestock to Liaodong at a low price. This seems to be a solution to the [cattle shortage].

Jiacheng is a 17-year-old girl, but she is thoughtful. Just seeing the introduction of the new achievements of this team of doctors, she can think of solving the problem of [Niuhuang].
