Chapter 424 Xuzhou

In the spring of the 23rd year of Xingping, Cao Cao formally surrendered to Lu Bu at Baimen Tower and surrendered to Xiapi without a fight.

Lu Bu brought Dian Wei and Cao Cao to the Baimen Tower. He looked at Gao Shun and Xu Rong, who were responsible for surrendering Cao's army. Cao's generals were arranged on the left and right. His eyes glanced here from time to time. Lu Bu was chatting happily with Cao Cao, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu. .

"Tai Chi furnace, the blueprints are very common in Guanzhong, and they are sold in Chang'anfang City." Lu Bu looked at the Tai Chi furnace blueprints collected by Cao Cao, and said casually: "I wanted to gather the wisdom of the world to see if there is any Who knows that no one has changed it yet."

Cao Cao: "..."

Xun Yu: "..."

Cheng Yu: "..."

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly had the urge to strangle Xizuo who was sent to Chang'an. He thought he had stolen someone's secret, but he just bought a copy of the blueprint and sent it back?

"I dare to ask Taiwei, how can this Tai Chi furnace be powerless and automatic?" Cheng Yu asked curiously.

"Between heaven and earth, the growth and decline of yin and yang is the right principle. How can there be anything powerless and automatic? This is formed by the combination of water and fire. It uses the power of fire to boil water and turn it into gas. You must have seen the force when water boils. This is The Secret of the Tai Chi Furnace." Lu Bu briefly explained the principles of the Tai Chi Furnace.

"So simple?" Cheng Yu asked in surprise.

"The principle is simple, but it is not that simple to actually do it. Now this Tai Chi furnace can drive a million kilograms of power. Only by conducting this power and using it on things can we succeed." Lu Bu shook his head and popularized Tai Chi to everyone. The true meaning of furnace.

It’s so simple to make a small gadget, just light an oil lamp, but it’s not that simple to expand it into a Tai Chi stove that can carry things. Every time this thing is bigger, the extra strength it needs will be ten percent bigger. Think about it. To achieve the carrying capacity of today's Tai Chi stoves and to maintain the current volume, both the demand for materials and the sophistication of design are extremely high.

"This thing has been changing over the past ten years from its original generation. The old Tai Chi stove is actually relatively simple. It uses the old reinforced materials to make new ones. It took six generations at a time to become what it is today." Lu Bu said casually. .

Six times?

Although everyone doesn’t know what these six iterations represent, would it be easier to understand if it were the original version of the drawings? No wonder Lu Bu was so relieved about this drawing.

In fact, if Lu Bu had not already had the finished product in his mind, it would not have been possible to come up with this latest Tai Chi furnace not to mention ten years, not to mention a hundred years. It was the result of his hundreds of years of research in the simulated world, and it also took into account the foundation and knowledge he accumulated in Da Qin. This is the birth and development of Tai Chi furnace.

Putting this at this point, even if the original Tai Chi furnace was taken out for everyone's reference, it would probably take ten years to research and make the first version of the Tai Chi furnace.

But it seems like what Lu Bu said is true. When the power of craftsmen develops to a certain level, it can really change the world!

The surrender lasted until the afternoon, when Cao Jun in the city was completely subdued. Gao Shun and Xu Rong came to Lu Bu, bowed and said: "My lord, the surrender is complete!"

"Thank you, two generals, send two thousand people into the city to maintain public order in the city. The rest of the soldiers will be stationed outside the city to recuperate." Lu Bu stood up and said.

"Here!" Gao Shun and Xu Rong stepped in and bowed, then turned and left.

The surrender was completed, but it would still take time to collect these troops, and the Central Plains had been decided, so naturally there were not that many troops needed. Lu Bu asked Gao Shun and Xu Rong to select young men to join the army, and the others sent some money and food back.

As for the nobles who followed Cao Cao and retreated to Xiapi, Cao Cao went into hiding. The disputes he had with the Xuzhou nobles in the past are no longer important now. Those who want to return to their original places can go back, but the land has been taken away by the court, and their family wealth has been taken away by the court. It is yours or yours, but the servants have to be naturalized. If you are willing to follow, you can continue to follow. If not, the court will allocate the fields for farming. Although it is not yours, but aside from taxes and rents, what is left is better than what you have before. The harvest is abundant every year.

It was the spring plowing season, and for the next period of time, Lu Bu would resettle the people in Xuzhou or teach them new planting techniques in the fields.

For the same fields, the yield per mu in Guanzhong is now twice that of most places in the Central Plains. Lu Bu has rich experience in optimizing planting techniques.

In fact, it is best to bring a batch of seeds from Guanzhong and replant them, but the main things grown here in Xuzhou are different from those in Guanzhong. The main crops here are rice, so they have to be cultivated from the beginning.

At the same time, the new laws also began to be promoted under the personal auspices of Lu Bu. After all, Xuzhou was too far away from Luoyang. Although it suffered from wars, the population of Xuzhou recovered later, and it must still be one of the granaries of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, many places in Xuzhou are connected to the river and the sea, making it suitable for At the port, Lu Bu has several reliable routes for reference. It may not be correct now, but it is better than knowing nothing about it.

There are several places with rich mineral deposits along the way. I don’t know if they are still inhabited now. If so, they can be developed into vassal states and used as supply places along the way. Then in the future, the ships of the Han Dynasty can take the sea route to Anxi, Kushan and even Rome to carry out trade. The opponent's high-quality resources earn a lot of money.

Xuzhou and Jiangdong may be Lu Bu's important business areas in the future. However, the environment in Jiangdong is still relatively harsh and there are many diseases. Lu Bu plans to take Hua Tuo to Jiangdong to see if there is any way to diagnose and treat it. If so, then Jiangdong is suitable. If there is no development, we can only come to Xuzhou.

It can be clearly felt that Lu Bu only stayed in Xuzhou for two months, and the attitude of the people of Xuzhou towards Lu Bu was completely different from their previous attitude towards Cao Cao, which was somewhat unpleasant.

Of course, the attitude of those scholars who were trapped in Xuzhou and could not leave was completely different towards Lu Bu. However, these people were generally unable to express their opinions. For them, perhaps saving their lives was the key at the moment, and they did not dare to make a statement if they had the opportunity. explain.

Cao Cao's headache became more and more severe, and finally, at Hua Tuo's suggestion, he approached Lu Bu with the mentality of giving it a try.

"With your age and physical condition, it's not easy for you to survive." Lu Bu looked at Cao Cao in surprise after showing it to him.

"Lieutenant, do you have a solution?" Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu.

"To put it simply, it's gout. However, it has been accumulated for a long time, and your mood has fluctuated frequently over the years. As a result, the condition has been getting worse and worse but cannot be eradicated in time, and it has finally accumulated to where it is now." Lu Bu nodded.

Cao Cao glanced at Lu Bu. With such an enemy standing opposite him, it was hard for him to calm down.

"What Mr. Yuanhua said is true. Acupuncture is needed to puncture the stagnation, but this thing will happen repeatedly, so acupuncture needs to be applied three times, supplemented by medicinal stones." Lu Bu took back his hand and looked at Cao Cao and said: "In addition, some may die directly. , after all, your depression is too big, it’s me, unless you really have your head scraped.”

"How can a person who has his head removed survive?" Cao Cao said with a wry smile.

"The vitality of the human head is not in the skull but in the brain. If you just pry off the skull, the person will not die. But for now, after the skull is peeled off, even if it is sewn up, other diseases will appear. "It's best not to do this." Lu Bu has rich experience in this area. In the simulated world, the group of medical craftsmen he gathered are a group of lunatics. What they did on the border is inhumane, but the medical experience and knowledge gained are also so. Groundbreaking.

"It's better to trouble Taiwei to come with the acupuncture medicine." Cao Cao shuddered. Lu Bu couldn't have really done these things, right?

Originally, Hua Tuo said that Lu Bu had better medical skills, and Cao Cao thought it was flattery. Now it seems that Lu Bu does have some abilities.

Lu Bu asked Hua Tuo to boil Ma Fei Powder and let Cao Cao drink it to sleep. He then used acupuncture to enter the brain, found the knotted area based on the pulse, and pricked it. Soon, black blood flowed out of Cao Cao's nostrils.

"Broken?" Hua Tuo looked at Lu Bu with admiration.

"Yes." Lu Bu nodded, checked Cao Cao's pulse and said, "This thing will still live. I just prick it and let some flow out. I will take the opportunity to suppress it with medicinal stones. After three days, prick it again. After repeating this for three times, it can be completely eradicated with medicine and stone, and I will have to worry about Mr. Yuanhua taking care of it for these days. "

"Your Majesty's words are serious. It is a blessing for me to see this stubborn disease overcome." Hua Tuo shook his head. For a doctor, it is rare to see a stubborn disease that cannot be cured by himself be overcome. Lu Bu's cure The method was similar to what I thought, except that I didn't have Lu Bu's subtle control over the needle.

Cao Cao felt much refreshed. After Lu Bu used three injections on him, the yin energy that seemed to be clinging to his head suddenly disappeared. The refreshing feeling lasted for more than ten days, and he only got used to it after he gradually got used to it. Fade down.

"The Taiwei's move this time is really a blessing for Cao!" Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu and said with a smile.

At the same time, there was some slander in his heart. Did something happen to Lu Bu back then that enlightened him? Otherwise, why has it changed so much over the years? It’s just that he was good at martial arts and war, and he wasn’t bad at civil administration. He could farm and build a Tai Chi furnace. Now it’s even more outrageous. He can cure diseases that Hua Tuo can’t cure! !

Is there any heavenly principle? Is he God's biological son? Why are you so nice to him?

Cao Cao had been looking at Lu Bu with some resentment in his eyes for the past two days, which made Lu Bu feel a little uncomfortable.

Spring plowing had ended, and news came from Gan Ning that the last ship was almost being built. He had explored the sea route from Buqi to Jiangkou several times, and asked Lu Bu when he could send troops to attack Jiangdong.

"That's almost it. After we capture Hefei, the carbon can be transported from Shouchun. At that time, Xingba can sail into Chao Lake for supplies." Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun and said, "Hefei, you will be in charge. Why?" You decide when to send troops, but in one month, I will take people to Chaohu to build a port!"

"General, take your orders!" Gao Shun saluted solemnly, and immediately ordered people to load 2,000 Vulcan cannons and 40,000 stone bombs, and led 50,000 troops straight to Hefei.

"Mengde, would you like to come with me? You have never ridden in the Tai Chi chariot, so go and ride on the Five Elements Boat with me first." Lu Bu looked at Cao Cao and said with a smile.

"I'm willing to go with you!" Cao Cao nodded, he was also very interested in these...

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－

Thanks to the bosses of Avera Prison and Mingwu (I don’t know the last word and can’t type it) for the tip. The main plot is almost finished, and I probably can’t add more. I plan to use the last simulated world as a spin-off after the main plot is completed. Everyone wants to read it. Look, just finish it if you don’t want to read it. It’s the end of the year and I don’t have much to do at work every day, but I can’t take the time to write. A group of people come together to chat. It’s hard for me to write in the middle. , so you see that the update time is not stable during this period. If you also read the extra, I will see if there is a chance to add two more updates before finishing this chapter. This chapter was updated at 6 o'clock in the morning~
