Chapter 29: Out of the market?

Passed Chengdu, walked through Hanzhong, entered Yongzhou and then turned to the direction of Chang'an. Liu Bei had already been waiting in Chang'an, and when Liu Xuan arrived in Chang'an, Zhang He, who was guarding Jianning, received news that the affairs of the Zhu Rong clan had been arranged.

At the same time, several tribes have also vaguely expressed their intention to belong to the Han Dynasty, and are currently negotiating.

What surprised Liu Xuan was that this group of people also included the tribe commanded by Meng Huo - Meng Huo was not the barbarian king whose prestige later shocked the southern barbarians. At this time, he was just the new chief of a tribe. Although he had some reputation in his tribe,

It won't affect the entire tribe.

So Meng Huo didn't have too many ambitions at this time. He just heard that this boy was thinking about Zhu Rong a lot. Liu Xuan even knew that Zhu Rong would meet Liu Xuan and he was going to meet Meng Huo to discuss cooperation between the two companies.

However, he didn't expect to be kidnapped by Liu Xuan on the way.

As a result, Meng Huo lost a wife and Liu Xuan gained a concubine!

The most important thing for Zhang He was to destroy the possible alliance formed by the various tribes of the Southern Barbarians, giving him the opportunity to divide and attack. In addition, he brought Zhu Rong's younger brother to lobby around, and the Southern Barbarians have gradually stabilized.

"When you go back this time, remember to send someone to take over Zhang He's position."

At this time, Liu Xuan had already gathered with the people of the imperial court, and the huge team was marching slowly towards Luoyang. Zongzheng and Liu Bei were beside him. When he heard the emperor's words, he immediately asked: "Zhang Hejiu held the southern barbarian land for a long time."

, this is a critical moment again, if we rashly transfer it back, will there be changes in the Southwest?"

In Liu Bei's view, Zhang He is capable, and although the conditions in the Southern Barbarians are harsh, it is a good place for generals - because there are merits to be made, and this is because the imperial court will not have any major military operations for a long time in the future.

Relatedly, if Zhang He can gain credit there, will he be willing to come back?

What's more, the Nanman area has just settled down, so Zhang He should at least be allowed to guard it for a few more years!

Liu Xuan shook his head: "There are too many generals, so it's okay to take turns. After all, we won't take the initiative to start a war for many years in the future. We have to give these generals something to do!"

In addition, the environment in Nanman is really too bad - there are countless snakes and insects, and miasma swamps are everywhere. The Han people are not adapted to the environment there. Zhang He is probably irritable after living there for so long - Zhang He is not irritated and his family is also

I can't stand it anymore.

Therefore, Liu Xuan felt that it would be best to guard the place properly for a few years and then replace it with someone else.

"As for the issue of familiarity... the deputy general Liao Hua will not be moved for now. After the new general is familiar with it, the deputy general will be moved again. In this way, the deputy general can be mobilized alternately, so that some trouble can be avoided!"

Liu Xuan's suggestion was considered a solution. Liu Bei nodded and did not continue talking about this topic. Instead, he talked to Liu Xuan about what happened in Luoyang while he was away.

Because of the communicator, Liu Xuan didn't have to worry about not knowing about major matters, but it was impossible to report everything to the emperor about trivial matters, so Liu Xuan really didn't know what Liu Bei said.

For example, Huang Chengyan's Ministry of Engineering has built the first ship that conforms to his concept. Although it is a little later than what he requested, it is said that all the indicators are already perfect, and there is no need to continue to adjust, and it can be put into operation directly.

Use - direct mass production is also possible.

In addition, the weapons installed on the ship have also been determined - large sunset cannons are arranged in front and behind the warship, with a rotatable gun mount, and each ship has three cannons, which means the main gun

There are six doors in total.

"However, Huang Langzhong said that she is planning to design a special main gun with greater power and longer range, and only install one on some main ships. The specific situation is not clear. If your Majesty wants to know, just ask Huang Langzhong!"

This is to say that Huang Yueying, with the "upgrading" of various technologies in the Han Dynasty, Huang Yueying's role has become more and more obvious, so the court has long been dissatisfied with Huang Yueying as a full-time official——

At the very least, if Huang Yueying quits now, no one would dare to say that they can take over this class.

But Liu Xuan was really curious about the new 'main gun' and didn't know what kind of weapon it would be.

For now, there are two six-gun sunset cannons on a battleship, a Huanglong Tianxiang attack array, and a rocket intense attack array, and then there are other arrays based on different functions. It can be said that this

The combat power of this warship is still higher than that of some generals.

Because these arrays are specially strengthened, they can be used as long as the energy provided. In addition, after the warships have been specially tempered, they can withstand these arrays much better, and there is no need to consider the endless use of these arrays.

Cause irreparable damage to the battleship itself.

In this way, the combat power that the battleship can exert will be even more terrifying.

"It's really...not bad!"

Liu Xuan wiped his cold sweat. To be honest, Huang Yueying did much better than he expected! Although he did not build ocean warships when he was in the Cultivation Empire but went to the starship era, but at the beginning

At that time, he had not built a ship with so many weapon systems.

At that time, it was still an era when the monks themselves were fighting, and the ships played an auxiliary role in transportation.

It was not until later that the weapon system was slowly added, and the battles in the universe became more and more fierce. Liu Xuan originally thought about whether to remind him, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary. Huang Yueying's pursuit of weapons is even stronger than herself.

.

Moreover, after this kind of ship is manufactured, the size of the ship is not small, and it is not much different from the ships of later generations, but the draft is much less than that of later generations of ships. It is precisely because of this that these ships can

Navigation in the Yellow River and Yangtze River waterways.

However, Huang Yueying also said that the largest of these two waterways can only accommodate ships of this level. If you really want to continue building larger ships, then you have to build them in the harbor.

At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of ships sailing in the ocean, the draft, that is, the weight of the hull, cannot be the same as the ships currently built - in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, there may not be any danger if the draft is not deep, but if it is in rough waves

Without enough weight, the sea cannot sail stably.

This is caused by the environment, and Liu Xuan has no way to solve it - for example, when sailing in space, he definitely considers more than just a few directions in all directions.

In short, the Han Dynasty's navy is developing very rapidly, and now the ships have come out. The next thing to do is to let Yu Jin and Gan Ning lead the sailors to familiarize themselves with the ships as soon as possible. They are now training in the Yellow River, and at the same time, they seize the time to design and manufacture enough ships.

A large ship that cruises the sea.

In fact, even if Liu Xuan didn't say anything, Huang Yueying also told his father the future ship development plan. Huang Chengyan already knew the court's goals, so he did not stop after completing the tasks assigned by Liu Xuan.

work, but to gather everyone involved in this production to discuss the next step in detail.

The manufacture of ships - even if they are manufactured using cultivation methods, can only be done step by step, and it is impossible to achieve success in one step. Even if you have the skills, your craftsmanship still needs to be honed little by little!

Therefore, the tonnage of the ships Huang Chengyan will build next will not be large, barely reaching the destroyer level of later generations. In appearance, they will be similar in size to the ships currently built, but they will have a deeper draft.

At the same time, there are no more improvements in the weapon system, but a lot of effort has been put into the defense, and even a defensive array 'Strong' has been added, which can be activated when it is attacked to make the hull become stronger within a certain period of time.

Resist beating.

Liu Xuan didn't know about these things, but Liu Bei was Zong Zhengqing and the emperor's uncle, so even if he was not involved in these things, he would know some general information, and he could tell the emperor about it at this time.

"The Ministry of Industry did a good job this time!"

Use it on a ship to be strong? He has never done it before, and it is hard to say what the effect will be at this time. The effect will only be known after this thing is actually used in actual practice.

However, this idea is worth encouraging. He hopes that his subordinates will be more open-minded. Only in this way can they develop faster and make up for the huge gap between the Han Dynasty and the Cultivation Empire in the shortest possible time.

While walking and chatting along the way, Liu Xuan turned around and glanced at Zhu Rong, who was not far behind him. This woman still had a sullen face, as if she had been greatly wronged, but she didn't think about running away now, because after this

After some time, she had a very deep understanding of the kind of people who caught her.

No one can be dealt with by her. Not to mention those military generals, those delicate girls can deal with her like a child, and even that thin man.

, you can also put yourself down casually (Cao Bao).

Is there any possibility of escaping? Just follow her obediently. Fortunately, no one made it difficult for her after she became honest, and what she was most worried about did not happen. The man who said, "Here for me" did not touch her.

After passing her, she couldn't help but suspect that the words might just be said casually, and that the Han emperor was just here to solve the problem in the southwest.

As for yourself?

"Maybe just a trophy?"

His mood became more and more complicated, and he also seemed weak during this period. The wildness that Liu Xuan liked most was all gone. It was as if one of his claws was broken, his teeth were gone, and he was seriously injured, so he had to hide where others could not see him.

Poor guy licking his wounds.

Liu Xuan didn't think about letting her regain her energy. He was not a masochist, so he left it like this. She would naturally recover after she gradually adapted to her new life.

He just asked Diao Chan to take care of Zhu Rong for a while, but Liu Xuan stopped taking care of him and didn't even speak to him a few times along the way.

And the only few times he told her about the current situation of the Zhu Rong tribe.

"In short, your tribe is doing well now!"

It was precisely these words that made Zhu Rong even more confused.

Diao Chan and Cai Yan also asked Liu Xuan: "Is this good?"

However, Liu Xuan didn't take it seriously, so they had no choice but to try their best to help Zhu Rong adapt to his new 'role'. After all, once he entered the Han Dynasty Palace, his life would undergo earth-shaking changes, including his identity and some

Habits also need to change.

Of course, today's rules are relatively loose, especially when only one's own family is around, and Zhu Rong probably won't see outsiders because of his special status, so he only needs to ensure some basic ones, and you can feel free to do the rest.

.

So when she was about to arrive in Luoyang, Zhu Rong began to receive some instruction on palace etiquette. She didn't know whether it was what happened on this section that made her feel discouraged and finally gave up the resistance, or whether it was because of the situation in her tribe that made her feel discouraged and finally gave up the resistance.

She chose to compromise.

In short, although Zhu Rong didn't have much enthusiasm for learning, he was learning after all. Liu Xuan, who was observing secretly, immediately allowed Diao Chan to start teaching her some basic cultivation methods.

These things are the basics and must be learned. It is better to learn them early than later. In addition, the strength of the girls is not bad now, so even if Zhu Rong gets more ideas, she will not be able to do any tricks.

As for more advanced things, Liu Xuan would have to wait until he was sure that Zhu Rong was no longer a 'threat' before he would start teaching them. At this time, it was just the simplest cultivation method, and he didn't even have the method to use it.

In this way, after talking about being busy along the way, Liu Xuan finally returned to Luoyang, and then spent the morning again, dealing with some trivial things, taking a walk, joking and playing with his concubines, doing activities without shame, and sleeping

...such an extremely regular day.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye. It is already the winter of the 20th year of the Han calendar. The weather this year is not very good compared to previous years. The weather is dry and cold with no snowflakes falling. In the summer, drought occurred in some places in the south, but in the northwest.

There was a heavy rain. If the Dragon Qi of the Yellow River had not been controlled by Liu Xuan, the Yellow River would have caused a lot of trouble.
