Chapter 196: Liu Jujiang gets married

Tielu is something that Liu Kan has been planning for a long time...

If we calculate it, the concept of Tielu had already been outlined in his mind long before Liu Kan went to the northern border. Now, he has the identity, status, and the ability to take Tielu into action. In addition, the arrival of Panye’s old father and son has strengthened his ideas.

Technology is the primary productivity!

Liu Kan, who has memories of his past lives, knows this well.

Of course, the technology of this era is undoubtedly backward, and those who master science and technology are not those scholars who are well-read in poetry and books.

To be precise, the technology of this era is in the hands of craftsmen.

The intelligence and wisdom of the ancients should never be ignored. However, after the establishment of Confucian culture in later generations, everything was inferior, and only the concept of high reading made the craftsmen's status lower and lower. With the progress of the times, their creativity was gradually strangled and wiped out.

Liu Kan did not expect Pan Ye and the others to invent gunpowder, light bulbs and other things.

What he needs is to improve on the existing basis. Improve a little today and improve a little tomorrow... As the status of craftsmen gains social recognition, their creativity and initiative will be further stimulated. Accumulate small amounts into many, ten years, twenty years... Perhaps a hundred years later, history will eventually change. Liu Kan has always believed that from quantitative change to qualitative change, it takes a process.

And now, this is the beginning of this change!

Cheng Miao was appointed as the general manager of Tielu. This position was the right thing for him.

It is not a person who likes to be plagued by official duties. Cheng Miao likes those strange things. At least in the eyes of many people, most of the things he likes are difficult to understand. But it must be admitted that letting Cheng Miao control Tielu is a good choice.

Pan Ye is always an action school, while Cheng Miao is an theoretical school.

Liu Kan was very relieved when the two were together. In this way, he could devote more time to thinking about more important issues.

The eighth year of the First Emperor, that is, the 35th year of the King of Qin.

With the cessation of the war in the northern border, the Qin Empire ushered in its peaceful year since its reunification.

The descendants of the six countries stopped with this refreshing victory in the northern border. In less than a year, they completely defeated the Huns, seized thousands of miles of fertile land in Henan, and forced the remnants of the Huns to retreat to Langjuxu Mountain. If they had to find out anything, it would be that Meng Tian beheaded more than 500,000... In the Battle of Changping, the man slaughtered Bai Qi only 400,000. Meng Tian's cold means and the powerful combat power of the Qin army made countless people who had ulterior motives about the Qin Dynasty and the country were a little panic and uneasy.

At the beginning of the year, Meng Tian raised his troops again.

However, he did not lead the troops himself, but instead ordered Wang Li to be the chief general, lead 30,000 troops and trample on Yinshan Mountain.

After discovering the movements of the Qin army, the Yuezhi Kingdom did not send troops to stop it. On the contrary, the Yuezhi King ordered the Yuezhi troops to retreat 300 miles north, without even decent resistance. After Wang Li occupied Yinshan, he was ordered not to continue to advance. In March of the same year, the Yuezhi King sent envoys to Xianyang to seek peace. In addition to cutting the territory 300 miles north of Yinshan to the Qin Dynasty, he also offered countless beautiful women to the Yuezhi.

Yuezhi Kingdom is very powerful!

But this power depends on the object of comparison.

In fact, the Yuezhi people were a bit bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. When the Huns occupied Henan and were at its most powerful level, the troops of the two sides were almost the same. However, the Yuezhi did not dare to fight against the Huns, but instead ceded land and gave cattle and sheep to pray for peaceful reunion with the Huns.

Touman didn't dare to force Yuezhi too much at that time.

After all, the troops of both sides were equal, which made Yuezhi anxious, and the Huns were not feeling well.

However, as soon as the Huns were defeated, the Yuezhi Kingdom immediately changed his face and sent troops to regain the land and cattle and sheep that were given to the Huns back then. If the war had just ended, the Yuezhi took advantage of the ice in the winter and the horses were trampling on Henan, Meng Tian might not be able to withstand it. After all, after the battle, the Qin Dynasty also damaged its vitality. In addition, the Donghu was eyeing it and could not draw troops.

However, Yuezhi did not attack, but instead set up camp on the north bank of the Great River.

The fierce attacks of the Qin army made the Yuezhi people frightened. Even in terms of military strength, the Yuezhi people even had the advantage, but they did not dare to declare war on the Qin Dynasty. The old Qin people were too capable! It is said that the six countries in Shandong were strong and spear-savvy, but the old Qin people did not wear armor and held residual soldiers.

The two sides fought bloody battles, but the old Qin people survived with the bloody heads of soldiers from the six Shandong countries.

With the combat power of the Huns, he was defeated by Lao Qin like a devastating battle. Such terrifying combat power really scared the Yuezhi people's courage.

Therefore, the Yuezhi people are unwilling to fight and dare not fight!

Lao Qin had obtained a great land in vain, but he did not refuse the Yuezhi people's request for peace.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if you are in a disagreement! The ultimate goal of signing an agreement is to tear it apart... But now is not the time.

After reading the mansion newspaper sent by Li Cheng, Liu Kan frowned into the character Sichuan.

Liu Kan was not worried about the Yuezhi people. What he was worried about now was Maodun from Langjuxu Mountain and Alibu, who temporarily lived in Donghu.

These two people are the confidants of Daqin.

Maodun has always been quiet and very responsible. He did not go north to annex, but calmly recuperate; the same is true for Ali Shi, but now he is living under someone else's roof. Although Donghu King is Ali Shi's uncle, he seems to be very afraid of this nephew. Therefore, Ali Shi is very low-key. In Li Cheng's report, Ali Shi only appeared twice, which made Liu Kan feel very uneasy.

The more this happens, the more you need to be careful!

Liu Kan wrote back to Li Cheng, asking him to continue to pay attention to the movements between Maodun and Ali Du.

Overall, it has been more than half a year since Liu Kan returned to Lou Cang. In the past six months, he has been living comfortably. Although the official business is busy, Liu Kan does not need to spend too much effort with the help of Cao Shen and Chen Ping. As a son, he is growing up day by day. Lu Geng is in good order in family affairs. Since Liu Kan killed those servants, all the diners who were originally under him have left one after another.

There are only 172 people, except for the three killed by Liu Kan and Han Xin who stayed there, there are only more than 30 people left.

Although there are few visitors, Liu Kan doesn't care.

It's just that it's a bit bad...

Lu Jiahui once persuaded privately: "Akan, you don't have to do this. With our wealth, not to mention thirty people, even 300 people, or even thousands of people, why should you be too serious? You recruit guests and ask for a name... Mengchangjun has 3,000 diners, and there are no ones who are all over the place. Don't he understand it in his heart? But he still pretends to be unaware of it.

In this regard, you are a little inferior to your brother-in-law.

Although my brother-in-law does not have the ability of you, he is just aware of being confused when dealing with people. You should learn from him."

Liu Kan was a little unhappy!

But he also knew that what Lu Geng said was right.

People must carry him in a sedan chair... Mengchangjun raised three thousand diners in order to seek a fame to protect himself; Liu Bang was confused because he had no capital to understand, so he could only use such means to attract a group of people around him.

But Liu Kan couldn't do this.

Liu Kan understands the principle of keeping a low profile very well. Now, as the commander of Sishui, he is already the target of public criticism. At this time, he can seek wealth and power, but he cannot seek fame. Humility benefits, and fullness brings harm. If he seeks fame again, disaster will come soon.

This situation is very good now. All Liu Kan has to do is to maintain this situation.

After explaining this truth to Lu, Lu was not a fool, and immediately realized the subtlety of Liu Kan's situation.

"A Kan, what do you mean by the matter between Brother and Wang Ji?"

Lu Ge's conversation suddenly changed, "Mom seems a little unhappy. During this period, I think Wang Ji seems to be in a low mood. My elder brother has a lot of fate, and Wang Ji's life is also a bumpy life. It is a perfect match for the two of them to be together. My mother told me yesterday that she didn't know what you were worried about... No matter what kind of person my elder brother was before, now, he is my mother's son after all."

Liu Kanyi frowned, not knowing how to answer Lu Ge.

He also knew that it would also cause harm to Wang Ji after dragging him like this.

But……

Liu Kan thought for a while and hugged Lu Cang's shoulders, "Grandpa, what do you think of Big Brother?"

"Brother?" Lu Cang Wong thought for a while and said, "Although my elder brother has soul-leaving disease, he can see that he is very simple in character.

He really regarded his mother as his mother, you as his younger brother, and even more of this family as his own.

I think, even if the elder brother can recover his memory in the future, he will not do anything to let us down. If his original owner dares to come to him, with your current ability, can't he solve it? Anyway, I think it's good that the elder brother is with Wang Ji."

“Um…”

Liu Kan rubbed his fingers lightly, "If you all think it's appropriate, I have no objection. Well, you're right. Maybe I'm a fan of the authorities. I'm always worried that one day if my brother recovers his memory, it will hurt us... So, you go and ask Sister Wang Ji's meaning. During dinner, I will talk about this with my mother. Since everyone thinks so, then make a decision."

"Okay, then I'll go find Sister Wang Ji now!"

Garriage Lu stood up and was about to go out.

But Sima Xi hurried over from outside...
