The popularity of martial arts determines that elixirs will become an indispensable auxiliary product.

It’s like a person is sick and has a medical industry.

If there is demand, there is a market.

And this demand is huge. Therefore, the market is absolutely huge.

It is equivalent to creating an industry that involves huge benefits out of thin air.

Once the cultivation of medicinal materials becomes popular, the price of dan pills will be lowered and ordinary people can also use it. That is the prosperous era of martial arts.

By affecting the historical process, history can be reversed and space-time changes. But Zhao Yu understood that the essential changes in history are not only in the changes of several major events, but also in the most basic social level.

If this world is transformed into a world where martial arts are prosperous, and martial arts and heretic technology coexist, what will happen?

Talismans and chariots and ships can be said to be the reduction of the method of immortality on the outside world. Therefore, the popularization of martial arts is the application of immortality on the internal level of human beings.

The unity of inside and outside is a huge vibration to the real time and space, and the changes in it are what Zhao Yu is most happy to see.

This incident came from Zhao Yu's mouth, and for Cao Mengde, the benefits are huge. However, as for the two of them, there is no need to discuss them in detail. In a word, the people under Cao Mengde will naturally do it.

Then Cao Mengde said: "Now Jizhou is in control, and Gongsun Zan cannot stop my military attack. At the end of the year, Youzhou will also be included in the rule. However, it will directly collide with the northern barbarians. One is Bingzhou, which must be captured, otherwise I will be sorry to my ancestors. The other is Wuhuan, Xianbei, and especially Xianbei in the northern region, have a great influence. I still remember some of my views on the barbarians. This time, I want to ask my husband how to properly district the district."

After hearing this, Zhao Yu understood and smiled and said, "Are you afraid of the barbarians?"

"Where do you mean?" Cao Mengde chuckled and shook his head: "How can I take the barbarians in my eyes? I have enough soldiers and enough food. It's no problem to fight barbarians. The key is how to deal with them if I defeat them, and how to deal with the vast northern grasslands and deserts. This is the problem."

"How can it not be handled?"

Zhao Yu said: "It's very simple."

Cao Mengde said: "I hope to hear the details."

"The barbarians in the north are now under the Xianbei power. However, since Tan Shihuai's death, the Xianbei has been divided into three parts and there is no unity within it. I won't say much about this. Even if it is unity, it is only a native chicken and a tile dog. When Emperor Wu defeated the Xiongnu, he never brought the northern grasslands under his rule. Although he moved to the mainland to monitor it, he did not digest it in the end. Now it has become a major harm to Bingzhou. What you worry about is nothing more than this."

Cao Mengde nodded repeatedly: "Those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for a while. Sir, I know me. I am worried about this because of the lessons of Emperor Wu's previous cars. The wilderness in the north is extremely far away, and there is no people in a hundred miles, like chicken ribs, and it tastes boring to eat. But if you abandon it, a hundred years later, another barbarian will rise and threaten the Central Plains Shenzhou."

Zhao Yu shook his head and smiled, "Who said that the northern grassland is a wilderness?"

Cao Mengde was excited: "Please teach me sir."

"The population of barbarians is the best labor. Whether you build roads and cities or dig rivers and canals, you can use it. And you don't need salary. Is it not easy to use free labor?" Zhao Yu said: "You only defeat barbarians and take their strong labor to work. Women, girls and children can be fully integrated in thirty or fifty years. Besides, the grassland is divided into pieces and used for animal husbandry. It doesn't take ten years to make the world lack meat. Moreover, there are iron ore, coal mines, or even gold ore, on the grassland, how can it be said that they are worthless?"

Cao Mengde frowned and said, "Although what the sir said is not bad, there are two difficulties. First, where does the manpower come from to develop the northern grassland? The north has always been a wild land, and almost no one wants to go. Could it be forced? Second... Well, there is no other. I think it's bad. When the talismans and ships are popular, they can fly into the sky and into the earth. Although the north is far away, it's no problem."

"Just know." Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Distance is not a problem, so you can rule. As for population development, of course, it is not possible to force it. But it can be tempted."

"oh?"

"Just as I told you about medicinal materials planting, start from the upper level, and wait until the people see the benefits, and then slowly let go. If you take down the grassland, you will ask your Cao family or Xiahou family to recruit people and go to the grassland to enclose livestock. In one or two years, a large number of cattle and sheep will be sold. Over the years, the people's livelihood has become more and more prosperous. When the people have money, they will naturally eat the meat. Even if the people don't have more money to eat meat, they can still supply the army. Once you make a lot of money, you will not be afraid that others will not see it. At that time, whether it is the merchants or even some smart people, they will naturally come to you. What should you do at that time? How to do it, and what should you do?"

Cao Mengde couldn't help but suddenly realize: "Mr. What I said is that my mind has not turned around. Right, just do it!"

He stopped, paced back and forth for a few times, clapping his hands and said, "Use the barbarians as coolies, and only some food is needed to quickly build cement roads across the country. I had discussed with Wen Ruo that reconnected the water conservancy and water canals such as Honggou, and even opened up the water system between the Huai River and the river, connecting the north and south. I was worried about human resources, oh, why didn't I expect it!"

He seemed to be talking to himself: "There have been frequent wars over the years, and many cities have been ruined and need human repairs. I can do this with the barbarian manpower!"

Zhao Yu looked at Cao Mengde with a smile, and when he came to his senses, he smiled and said, "The heavy labor often makes the people uneasy. But now it can be grafted to the barbarians. The Han people do it themselves. The heavy and untechnical ones will make the barbarians work hard. As long as they are planned well, they can build several main roads in the east, west, south and north to run through the entire Shenzhou. As for the side branches, take it slowly in the future. Such a principle is the same. If the rivers and canals can be connected into one, or even through the waterway, it will be a feat. It is absolutely a feat. It doesn't cost a penny, as long as some food, you don't have to bear the resentment of the people, you can do such a thing. Do you think it's okay?"

"Oh," Cao Mengde sighed: "Many things seem to be just a piece of paper. Often, they cannot be seen through, and they cannot be done. If they see through, they can be done."

"The Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuwan, Qianghu, and even more far away West and South have countless free labor." Zhao Yu said: "Your troops can attack at any time and can plunder a large amount of labor at any time. It is not unkind to be corrupt, but great benevolence."
