Chapter 756
"Since the eldest brother will be the prefect of the East County sooner or later, in my opinion, it is better to recruit some young men from the East County..."
Cao Hong interjected at this time road.
Chen Gong immediately objected: "No. The area around Luoyang has been raided by Dong thief and raided again by the princes. There are not many young people who have escaped, escaped, and forced conscription. It is not a good thing to recruit troops from the East County, but a bad thing. If Cao Gong wants to take over the East County in the future, it will definitely be opposed by the commoners."
Cao Mengde nodded: "Brother Gongtai is not bad."
Then said to Cao Ren and Cao Hong: "Mutty is the matter of forced conscription, but it is also necessary to announce the recruitment of soldiers. But it is voluntary. How much can be recruited."
Cao Ren echoed. "Brother is right. I brought five hundred soldiers from Chenliu, plus hundreds in this city, but more than a thousand. If you can raise three thousand and train them strictly, the thieves will be attacked by tens of thousands. I can also hold it."
Cao Mengde was satisfied with his beard, said with a smile: "That's it."
Then looked towards Zhao Yu: "What does Mr. Zhao think?"
Zhao Yu waved his hand quickly: "It's none of my business to recruit and train."
Cao Mengde was helpless.
However, Zhao Yu said: "However, when recruiting and training soldiers, I want money and food. In this regard, I have two ways."
"Oh?!"
Cao Mengde is overjoyed: "Please teach me, Mr. Zhao!"
Zhao Yu slightly smiled: "Betting with Mr. Gongtai before, this is about it. But the betting is on the back. I The way to give Meng De was easily thought of."
Speaking, Zhao Yu opened his palm. First, a bright mirror appeared on the table in front of him, and then another piece of snow white. Soap, also appeared on the case.
These two objects immediately attracted the attention of the four people present.
Cao Mengde walked out of the case, came to the front, picked up the mirror, took a picture of himself, and said in surprise: "What kind of mirror is this, so clear!"
Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Be careful. This thing is not smashed, it is not as good as a copper mirror."
Then he said to Cao Mengde: "Meng De knows, the past few days you and me Wandering the county town, I occasionally ask brother Meng De to pay for some messy things. I also ask brother Meng De to search for things like water jade, cinnabar, and feldspar. This is how the mirror came."
Shuiyu This is the name given to crystal in this era. As for cinnabar, or cinnabar, mercury can be extracted. And so on are all related materials.
Four people gathered around, passed this palm-size mirror, and looked at clicking one's tongue in wonder.
Cao Mengde said: "It turned out to be made of water jade cinnabar? Is it an immortal method?"
Zhao Yu laughed: "Where is an immortal method. When I made the first piece , I did use magic power. But then I figured out a method, as long as you follow the method steps, you can manufacture it in batches. Meng De, how much do you think this mirror is worth?"
"At least ten thousand dollars! Otherwise, stop buying Here!" Cao Mengde is also a profiteer, eyes shined, and shouted suddenly.
On the side Chen Gong repeatedly nod: "Also, so. It only costs hundreds to thousands of dollars and raises 35,000 soldiers and horses for a year. It’s not a problem."
Cao Mengde took the mirror from Cao Hong: "I thought Mr. Zhao wanted these things for cultivation immortal art, and didn't expect it for Cao Mengde's great cause. It's Xin Mister Ku!"
Zhao Yu smiled and said, "This is nothing. In the future, there will also be more good things. Don't be surprised when you arrive."
then said: "Don't look at the mirror and look at this soap ."
The four talents set their eyes on the white soap.
"Soap?"
Cao Mengde picked it up, but didn't see why he came.
Zhao Yu shouted to the door: "Come here, bring a basin of water in."
Wait for the waiter to bring water, Zhao Yu made Cao Mengde dirty his hands. If the oil is dirty, let him wash it again, and the effect of the soap will immediately show up.
"I asked Meng De to prepare the lard for me, also alkali, and fumbled to make soap. This thing is the best at removing oil. Like a mirror, if you add petals when making it, it also smells . Once it is promoted, it will definitely be liked by the big family. It’s the big family, these years, the big family has money and food."
Cao Mengde put down the soap, trimmed his clothes, and bowed to the end: "Mr. It's really my timely rain!"
"Hey, I said earlier, don't be polite, you are here again!" Zhao Yu helped Cao Mengde up with his sleeves: "Now, this is the formula and manufacturing process. You take it and find someone to do it yourself, and I don’t care about it."
Take out two more pieces of paper and throw them to Cao Mengde like trash: "I'm not used to you like this, I'm leaving."
Quickly left.
Cao Mengde held onto the formula tightly, stunned for a long time.
Chen Gong said from the side: "I, Chen Gongtai, really got blind and misunderstood Mr. Zhao. It really shouldn't be. Ming Gong, Mr. Zhao is really a stranger! With these two formulas, Qianliang No shortage!"
Cao Mengde sighed: "I can meet Mr. Zhao, just like Ji Fa meets Jiang Shang."
Then gave the formula to Cao Hong:" Zilian, you deal with this all the way, must not be missed."
Cao Hong quickly took over the recipe, and put the treasure in his arms as well: "Brother, don’t worry! I’ll go down and summon the craftsmen immediately to study the recipe to make sure In the shortest possible time, make things out."
"en." Cao Mengde nodded, pondered for a moment, and said to Cao Ren: "Zi Xiao, you quickly invite Wei Zi Xu..."
When the words were not finished, Cao Mengde froze again, and then said in frustration: "Zixu is dead, I have lost my friend..."
then said: "Zi Lian, I asked you to send Zixu's body back to Chen Liu, have you done it?"
Cao Hong said resolutely: "I let Ziheqin go, now Angelica is now home."
"Hey..." Cao Mengde suddenly lost his interest, sat down and sighed again and again: "I am recruiting troops to raise the issue, or Zi Xu funding... I just thought that Zi Xu is a big businessman, give it to me He went to do it, it must be proper, only to remember that he had died in battle..."
He looked up again: "Zixu Youzi, how old is this year?"
Cao Hongdao: "Zixu Ziming Zhen, just reached the crown."
"Okay. You arrange the craftsman to study the formula, and then go to Chenliu personally to invite Wei Zhen." Cao Mengde immediately made a decision.
"Yes, brother."
The people who bemoaned Cao Mengde were Weitz, Weitz, Zi Xu, and Chen Liuren who helped him rise up against Dong. It's a pity that Wei Zi's life was short, and Yu Xingyang died in the previous war chasing Dong Zhuo. Then Cao Mengde was ambushed by Xu Rong and defeated.
Wei Zi, a great businessman from Chen Liu, has a rich family wealth and can fund Cao Mengde to raise thousands of soldiers and horses at once. When Cao Mengde got the formula, what immediately thought of it was to hand it over to Weitz to manage it, but instantly remembered that Weitz was dead, so sadness came to his heart.
Speaking of Cao Mengde, he is also a lover of personality. If he is suspicious, which superior is not suspicious? Not suspicious, he was killed by his subordinates a long time ago. The so-called suspicious person is not using it.
Cao Mengde himself is a little literate, but also a man of temperament. He often shed tears, of course not as good as Liu Bei. Liu Bei shed tears when he remembered it.
At this time Weizi is dead, what Cao Mengde thought of was to compensate his son Wei Zhen, and immediately put it into action.
"Xiao Xiao, recruiting and training soldiers, I will leave it to you."
Cao Ren saw that Cao Mengde was not very interested, and after nodded promised, he resigned and left with Chen Gong Cao Hong.
Zhao Yu hummed an unknown tune, all the way back to the yard.
The mother at home was cooking. Zhao Yu suddenly became interested. He quickly walked into the kitchen and didn’t care about the horrified eyes of his mother. Stay with mother and teach her how to cook.
So lunch finally has a modern taste.
Zhao Yu didn’t care about appetite, but it’s better to eat better than just eating. Before coming to this time and space, Zhao Yu made some preparations. There is a primal chaos bead world, what preparations are not good?
And now, he has three meals a day. Instead of two meals a day.
Habit problem.
As Zhao Yu himself said, in the past few days, apart from hanging out and chatting with Cao Mengde, in fact, he did not really idle.
When I have time, I enter the primal chaos beads small world and make trouble in it.
For example, burning glass and making soap are by-products of this process.
In ancient times, as written in novels, it often started with glass and soap. Although it's a bit cliché, it's a shortcut. Zhao Yu doesn't need to start a family. But these things should be given to Cao Mengde to help him. Whether it's making glass or making soap, Zhao Yu knows the craftsmanship that books are not for nothing.
However, those who know are aware that it took a long time for Zhao Yu to truly find out the craftsmanship and conform to this era.
Fortunately, the small world time-flow speed of primal chaos beads is different from the outside, there is a twenty times difference. So don't look at the outside for a few days, in fact, inside, Zhao Yu has already achieved a lot of results.
At the beginning, magic power was used to burn glass. Later, I gradually explored and figured out all the craftsmanship, and it can be fired without magic power. As for soap, it's much simpler.
But things like this are just side-effects.
What Zhao Yu really experimented in the small world was steel forging and the cultivation of crops.
Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and this cannot be avoided. To let Cao Mengde dominate the world as soon as possible, accomplish Zhao Yu's goal as soon as possible, break the so-called tripod, put an end to the so-called five chaotic flowers, so as to disturb time and space, so that Zhao Yu can understand, then the cultivation and improvement of crops is to transform this era. Agriculture is Zhao Yu's first choice.
When Zhao Yu came, he did not prepare the seeds of modern time and space. He directly asked Cao Mengde to provide some grains and seeds, and cultivated and improved them in the small world of primal chaos beads.
The small world of primal chaos beads is different in time-flow speed, so there is enough time for improvement and cultivation. Second, the Origin Qi in the small world is abundant, which is the most suitable for improvement. Now it is quite impressive, and the improved grain yields are much higher than modern ones. However, it is not stable yet and needs to be cultivated for several generations to stabilize.
As for steel, in this era, it is about armaments. It is also extremely important.
Zhao Yu knows how to make steel, but he also needs to find a method suitable for the productivity of this era before he can use it.
These two are exactly what Zhao Yu intends to use to bet against Chen Gong. Either way, it is something that can have a huge impact in the world, so Chen Gong is defeated!
In addition to these, Zhao Yu will do more experiments in the future. Generally speaking, he will use all methods to help Cao Mengde level the world and use all methods to transform history.
And Zhao Yu will never go to battle personally if he has to. As soon as he fell, he was a monk. If he was determined to kill, who could escape from Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei and Sun Jian? Perhaps there is some obsessive-compulsive disorder in it. I always feel that this historical matter must be changed by the people of history to be like Zhao Yu's intention.
