Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Tong's operation really shocked everyone who knew about it. To be honest, no one had thought that there would be such an operation before.

Afterwards, Chen Xi thought about it. Logically speaking, Liu Tong did a good job. At least the status and face of Cang Hou should be given, and he really didn't lack that.

"Forget it, it happened many years ago, let's not mention it." Liu Tong said with a little embarrassment. It was just a brain twitch back then. It was too normal. He was young and needed to understand.

"So you know what embarrassment is." Chen Xi said unhappily.

"It seems that there are jokes that we don't know." Han Xin had a teasing expression on his face, and then Liu Tong and Si Niang rolled their eyes. To be honest, he was young back then.

After realizing that there seemed to be something wrong with this matter, Liu Tong and Si Niang stopped doing it. Otherwise, how could they be as harmonious as they are now? They had to go to the Nonghuang Temple to ask for blessings first?

"Let's put this joke aside for now and continue talking about the secret medicine." Chen Xi didn't want to dwell on the amazing performance of his brain twitching that year, so he naturally changed the topic and clicked on the secret mirror to see a new thing, "This is the strange secret medicine that Wang Ke got from Zheng's family in Xingyang."

Wang Ke's brain is average, but Zheng Ling's brain is very good. Although she was stunned by Zheng Tai's boomerang in Central Asia, she copied the relevant information from the Zheng family after her brain recovered. After calming down, she had time to ask Wang Ke what benefits he got.

Wang Ke was waiting for his wife. Although he also wanted to digest this precious power, he had been following his wife's instructions for so many years and had not made any major mistakes. Based on the idea that he was not very smart, he should let his wife take a look, so he resisted the urge to take the secret medicine as soon as possible and waited for his wife to copy the information and find him.

After asking her husband about the effect of the secret medicine, Zheng Ling confirmed again and again that Wang Ke had not heard of the same type of thing from other brothers, and immediately realized how to maximize the benefits.

After all, Wang Ke is a high-ranking noble, and his father has a lot of friends, and he can find several brothers who have been through the sixth level of smelting. According to the performance of Liu Bei and Chen Xi over the years, if this kind of thing that is useful to top veterans really exists in the hands of the Han Dynasty, then Wang Ke can at least hear some rumors.

Even if the relationship cannot reach the top level, Wang Ke must know the people who can get this kind of thing, so the fact that there is no rumor at all can only mean that the Han Dynasty does not have it.

So he decisively sent it to Chang'an. At that time, Huang Tao was taking private work in Central Asia. When Wang Ke received the news, he asked Huang Tao to take this thing to Chang'an and directly send it to Li You. Huang Tao said there was no problem.

As for the Zheng family in Xingyang, this thing itself was an accidental product of the Zheng family. It was not what Zheng Tai originally wanted, and the cost was quite high. It has been kept in the Zheng family, and there is no intention to hand it over to the country. After giving it to Wang Ke, Zheng Tai reacted, but how could he be faster than Huang Tao? After all, the Zheng family does not have the top-level strongman, and this family is in its developmental stage.

With just this time difference, Wang Ke finally got the fruits.

When Li You received this thing, he realized the value of it, and then he went to inform Chen Xi with the secret medicine, and Chen Xi asked the Medical College to copy ten copies regardless of the cost, and returned three copies to Wang Ke, and then began formal research.

The preciousness of this thing, that is something that even Chen Xi has to admit, even if the cost is so high that it is cool, but considering the future, it still needs to be studied and promoted.

From a certain perspective, this thing really breaks some existing concepts, it is simply outrageous, and what's more outrageous is that this thing is really independently researched by the Zheng family of Xingyang, without any other family's kind, even if it is an unexpected byproduct, but you can say whether it is a product.

However, if Chen Xi sees it, it is Chen Xi's thing, copyright? What is that? As a rich family with generations of generations, occasionally burst some gold coins, what copyright, burst it.

"So this thing can be completely painless and without any bottlenecks. It can directly make the peak of Qi training become internal Qi out of the body. Although it is the weakest kind of internal Qi out of the body, it is a bit too incredible." Liu Bei looked at the new secret medicine that Chen Xi took out, and his whole body was numb. He didn't know that the Han Dynasty had such a thing. You know, Liu Bei is only practicing Qi to become a Gang now.

"It can't be said that there is no bottleneck at all. In the case of Li Tiao, this secret medicine is not very meaningful, but it should be able to open some internal and external channels." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "In short, this medicine is indeed a completely painless and harmless magic medicine that breaks the bottleneck of Qi training. It's just that the current price is relatively high. We are also trying to research and replicate it here."

"What is the current price?" Liu Tong asked with a bit of weirdness. She was interested in this. It didn't matter if it was a little expensive. Anyway, she had Chen Xi's New Year's money. Liu Tong firmly believed that the New Year's money given by Chen Xi could afford most things in this world that cost money.

"According to the manpower and material resources invested, it will probably take around 12 million." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, just from the price one can see how much stronger Chen Xi is than Zheng family of Xingyang. It would cost at least 30 million for Zheng family to copy one such injection, while the Han Dynasty, without any prior technology, only needed 12 million to copy the finished product.

"If you look at the value of the internal energy leaving the body and the characteristics that will not destroy the talent for smelting, the price of 12 million is acceptable." After pondering for a long time, Liu Bei gave his own judgment. Of course, this The judgment is entirely based on Chen Xi being next to him now.

Liu Bei, who had experienced the Ling Emperor Dynasty and witnessed the Yellow Turban Rebellion, knew very well what the price of twelve million was. To say it too much, even with the current conditions of the Han Dynasty, an ordinary family would need almost a thousand years of accumulation. Only then can such a sum of money be saved.

But considering that Chen Xi was right next to him, Liu Bei could accept the price.

"Actually, if you must accept it, it's not unacceptable, but in my opinion, this price can still be lowered." Chen Xi did not refute. He also felt that the current price was actually barely acceptable, but it was just not possible. Just popularized.

"Currently, there are nearly 30,000 or even more than 30,000 people in the Han Dynasty who have practiced Qi to become Gang. Half of them have reached the level of perfecting Qi to become Gang. However, there is no way forward, and it is basically impossible to break through to the point where the inner Qi leaves the body." Liu Tong I remembered what I had written when I was looking at statistics, "If we calculate it based on 12 million apiece, oh, it seems that we only need 200 billion."

"If I heard this elsewhere, I feel like I shouldn't participate in the discussion at all, but when I hear this here, I think I can still accept it. The scale of 200 billion seems not to be a problem for Zichuan at all. "Cookie said with a smile.

"If I remember correctly, Zichuan seems to spend 100 billion yuan every year, or even more, on food storage. While maintaining prices, it ensures the operation of state-owned factories and mines, and provides raw materials for some food processing industries?" Liu Bei turned his head. Looking at Chen Xi and asking, he still knew this very well. He and Chen Xi had had in-depth discussions on this issue before.

"This is a fact. It is true that hundreds of billions of money are spent every year to collect food from the people." Chen Xi did not refute after hearing this. This is indeed a fact. In fact, if food is not collected, the price of food on the market will be If the current price cannot be maintained forever, the incidence of low grain prices and harm to farmers will increase significantly, and the prices of certain products will also fall, which will be detrimental to the Han Dynasty as a whole.

Instead of doing this, it is better to collect the grain and provide part of it as rations to state-owned factories and mines, construction corps, and national military service, and the excess is used as raw materials to be transported to Yanzhou Agricultural and Grain, local wineries, various agricultural product processing workshops, etc., so that it is consumed This part of food can also increase the happiness of local people and maintain the current stable price structure.

"In this case, first transfer part of the money to this aspect, and a few hundred will come out." Bai Qi said very freely, completely unaware that his words were somewhat unpolitical.

"The situation is a little different from what you think." Chen Xi was thinking about how to explain to this group of people that after the money collected from grain collection would later enter into the operation of society, the collected grain would also enter into the operation of society. , so Chen Xi essentially just carried out regulation, which did not cause much loss to the overall social wealth.

But if it is used to make this kind of secret medicine, the input does not enter the operation of society, and the output does not enter the operation of society. This part of the wealth is equivalent to disappearing directly from the country.

Although the army itself is such a thing, it only produces input and does not produce output. However, the meaning of the army is to protect its own output or plunder the output of others. Its own non-producibility problem is not a problem as a whole. But this premise is that the proportion cannot be too large.

If, as is said now, 200 billion dollars were rushed in, it would really be a militancy, and even Chen Xi would find it difficult to maintain stability.

"In other words, there is a big difference between rushing into people's livelihood and rushing into the army?" Liu Bei asked with a bit of curiosity after hearing Chen Xi's explanation.

"When you rush into people's livelihood, as long as you are not eaten by moths, not only will there be no loss in the continuous circulation process, but you will also generate new value and create more wealth. However, the logic of the army is not consistent with this logic. Logically speaking, it is impossible to reach 200 billion," Chen Xi said seriously, "And this single payment of 12 million is too expensive and needs to be optimized."

"That means a batch has been made now, right?" Liu Bei didn't understand the logic of wealth generation, but Liu Bei figured out another thing, that is, Chen Xi had already made a batch, so the subsequent ones should be done first. Just throw it aside.

"That's true. We did make a batch, about two hundred." Chen Xi nodded. After all, technical verification also requires a wave of production, not to mention that Chen Xi asked the Medical Academy to verify several types. Ideas, and the big guys at the Medical College are much more powerful than the Zheng family. The routes that dare to be verified are at least the kind that will not be wasted.

In this way, when these routes are verified and the budget of more than 2 billion is spent, only so many will be produced, and the so-called 12 million is only the average price, and the cheapest one has actually dropped to Ten million, but the technical process is relatively complicated. When it all depends on the master's deployment, the complexity of the process is not important when the money reaches tens of millions.

But for Chen Xi, who wants to put this thing on a semi-assembly line like muscle-building injections, even if the price is cheaper, the actual operation process is too long, so he has to give up first.

"How do you plan to deal with these things?" Liu Bei thought about it for a while. In his mind, a large number of officers who had enough military merit but were stuck at the peak of Qi training, as well as some backbones who had reached the sixth and seventh levels of smelting but had not yet been promoted, flashed through his mind. From Liu Bei's point of view, these people were the best candidates for use, and there were more than 200 of them, which was almost enough.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Except for the need to keep a dozen, the others can be distributed now, but the distribution indicators have not been decided yet. This can be considered later. It's not a problem." Chen Xi said calmly. He also considered the officers who had enough military merit but were stuck at the peak of Qi training, as well as those backbone veterans, but Chen Xi felt that this matter needed to be considered again.

"Draw up a list later, check it, and distribute it first, so that they can adapt in advance. The sooner this kind of thing is used, the better. And if a guy like Huang Tao can become an internal Qi out of the body, the mobility will only be more outrageous." Liu Bei said with a bit of excitement.

"Forget about this, Huang Tao hasn't even practiced Qi and formed Gang." Chen Xi said helplessly. If Huang Tao practiced Qi and formed Gang, with his merits, this whole thing would not be a problem, but Huang Tao was practicing internal Qi condensation, which was strange. When I met Huang Tao in Yangzhou, Huang Tao was practicing internal Qi condensation, and he is still practicing internal Qi condensation now. I always feel that something is wrong.

"Yes, but there are some other veterans who have promoted internal Qi out of the body while retaining their talent smelting. Ordinary internal Qi out of the body is no different from soldiers of the same level for them, especially those top veterans. If they can be promoted in this way, it will almost completely subvert the previous legion system. Those heavy mechas are no problem for them at all." Liu Bei said with excitement. For mechas, big is beautiful and strong is good. That's no joke.

"How should I put it? This idea is fine. The purpose of studying this potion is to realize this possibility, but in fact, this is actually quite difficult, because this potion does not provide combat power, but only allows you to smoothly open the internal and external channels. The subsequent accumulation depends entirely on yourself." Chen Xi recalled that he did not seem to have told this group of people about the actual effect of this potion.

Then, Chen Xi explained to Liu Bei and others the rapid change from fifty to five hundred in a normal breakthrough, and popularized the process of this secret potion slowly accumulating from fifty, so that everyone present could understand the logic of why the talent of smelting can still be maintained.

"The reason for the collapse in the past was actually the sudden change. The improvement was too large, which made it impossible to continue to maintain the talent structure. The improvement of the secret medicine is a gradual slow release, which allows the smelting of the body to be improved along with the improvement of the foundation. The improvement of smelting is a multiple, and it is based on the multiple of the individual foundation." Chen Xi roughly explained the reason, "This is also the reason why the three people headed by Li Jue are not strong, but dare to beat the strong on the battlefield."

There is a layer of defensive smelting that is so arrogant. With the improvement of basic quality brought by smelting, although the basic strength is not strong, it can also fight with masters and will not be killed in seconds.

"In this case, this thing is actually very suitable for veterans with high smelting." Liu Bei thought about it and said, more than a hundred names have been generated in his mind.

"Yes, for veterans of the sixth level of smelting, because of the talent multiplier, if the base is increased by one point, the overall combat effectiveness will actually increase by several points. If the veterans of the sixth level of smelting really reach the lower limit of the internal energy leaving the body, the combat effectiveness will be very terrible." Chen Xi said very seriously. To be honest, the blessing brought by smelting is very outrageous.

"In this case, if the veterans use it, hundreds of backbones with top internal energy leaving the body can be born." Liu Bei bent his knuckles and knocked on the table. This is a very outrageous situation, which is of great significance for the Han Dynasty to further crush the Kushan.

In the past, the most troublesome thing about the Kushan was the huge number of internal energy leaving the body. Now with this secret medicine, the Han Dynasty can fully crush the Kushan in terms of the number and quality of internal energy leaving the body.

"The old soldier who has been smelted at the sixth level is only slightly weaker than the ordinary internal qi out of the body under the cloud. After opening the internal and external channels to promote the internal qi out of the body, the potential is fully tapped in a short time. With the smelting, it should be stronger than the ordinary internal qi out of the body." Chen Xi thought about it and said, the reason why he is willing to spend a lot of money on this thing is not because this thing can really enhance the defense of the Han Dynasty?

"I will distribute this thing, just use military merit to redeem it." Liu Bei thought about it and said. If this thing is in the hands of others, it is easy to have problems in the exchange link, but here in Liu Bei, Liu Bei really doesn't believe that someone will come to find fault with him, even if it is his own brother, he has to open his mouth.

"Okay, I will let the Medical Academy keep a dozen bottles here, continue to study and copy, and see if the price can be suppressed. You can take the rest of Xuande Gong to distribute." Chen Xi said calmly, it's better to use this thing early.

"In this way, there are more than 200 people with comprehensive screening capabilities." Han Xin stroked his beard and said with some emotion, "In this way, some guys who originally couldn't command a legion can now command a legion. The number of legion commanders is no longer a problem. Even if there are 3 million troops, the original gap can now be filled by 100."

Liu Bei did not speak, but nodded. Although he would definitely consider the use of immortal veterans, he would definitely take comprehensive considerations when issuing them. Some special veterans who could command a large army would definitely be given more relaxed conditions by Liu Bei. For veterans like Jiang Guang who could only fight, the difficulty of obtaining them would be increased. However, to be honest, even if the difficulty was increased, it would not make any difference to Jiang Guang.

"How about this? Before the grand court meeting in the tenth year of Yuanfeng, a large martial arts performance will be held in Chang'an to compete in strength and comprehensive ability. As long as the military merits reach a certain level, they can participate. It just so happens that we can take stock of our strength at hand?" Chen Xi suddenly seemed to remember something and suggested.

"Not bad. In recent years, we have either held an imperial examination or a banquet. At most, we have held a military service competition in Chang'an County. It would be fine to hold a nationwide martial arts performance. It just so happens that after the military service competition in September, a nationwide martial arts performance would be quite good." Liu Bei thought about it and felt that this was fair and open. Although if he was appointed internally, there would be no mistakes based on his understanding of veterans from all over the country, but if a large-scale martial arts performance was held, there might be surprises.

"Should we let the princes of the four directions participate?" Liu Tong touched the golden book and jade book beside her. These people paid her. Although they would not help her to the death, it would be okay to help her when the problem was not serious. For example, this sentence now is worth at least five million yuan.

"Participate, and I estimate that the Zhongguo Guild will come to the Yuan family this year. On the one hand, it is the tenth year of Yuanfeng, and on the other hand, it is because of Rome." Chen Xi thought about it and looked at Liu Bei and suggested.

"Then join us. We are all the backbone of the Han Dynasty. Why should we separate ourselves?" Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Then I will have to trouble you and Wenru to organize it."

"It's okay. We will transfer a group of people from Gongyou to repair the martial arts field. However, there will inevitably be fighting in the selection process. If we are the referee..." Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei and asked, "This is not a joke."

"Yunchang and the others said that they were seriously injured in Africa, and the officers of Kushan were the same. It is estimated that neither side will have any large-scale actions in the army. The alliance will continue until the time when we signed it." Liu Bei did not answer directly, but informed Chen Xi of the news he had received before, "Let Yunchang and the others be the referees at that time."

In the battle to eliminate Locust Heaven in East Africa, the army commanders of the Han Dynasty, Rome, and Kushan were all seriously injured. The immortal gold nature of Locust Heaven had a great influence on the officers who took action. According to Lu Bu's judgment, most of the officers of Kushan could not even erase this gold nature without external help.

In this situation, although the Kushan Empire certainly had other officers who could sit on the Ganges like the Han Dynasty, the officers and soldiers centered on the main force under Oswin were all severely injured. To be honest, it was impossible to start a war in a short time.

After all, even officers and soldiers like Baras and Falgon who came from Northern Europe suffered a heavy backlash, let alone the other guys.

Don’t look at the time when Lu Bu took the lead and rushed forward, Su and Perennis also rushed forward with expressionless faces, as if the Kushan Empire was paddling. In fact, because of the problem of food loss, the Kushan Empire did not want to see the third round of locust plague, so it was really risking its life and the damage was not light.

Of course, the Han Dynasty was also half dead, only Zhao Yun seemed to be fine. As for the others, Lü Bu, who led the charge, was crooked now. Guan Yu felt that his head was about to fall off, and he was relying on God's will to maintain. Zhang Fei's two big arms were almost shattered, and he relied on his solid foundation to hold on...

In this case, the Han army had no spare energy to launch an attack on Kushan on land.

But it was only the army. On the navy side, the Han army and Kushan had enough spare energy. This was why Zhou Yu believed that after he fell, Kushan would most likely tear up the alliance and take action. Of course, the navy's action did not mean that the army would follow suit. At that time, there might be a tense situation on land, but I'm afraid no one would dare to take action first, after all, the main backbones of both sides were recovering in the rear.

"Is that so." Chen Xi nodded when he heard this. With the strength of Lü Bu and Guan Yu, even if they were seriously injured, as long as they could still stand in the position of referee, it would not be a big problem.

To put it bluntly, even if the veteran of the sixth level of smelting broke through the internal energy out of the body and gained extremely strong strength by high smelting, he was only at the same level as Guan Yu before Hulao Pass. Compared with the current Guan Yu, there is still a big gap, not to mention the divine light after Guan Yu opened his eyes, even Chen Xi felt it was quite scary.

"Let Yunchang and others be the referees at that time. They haven't had a good rest for so many years. They were injured this time, so it's just right to take a break and rest." Liu Bei said with a bit of nostalgia, "By the way, I also have something to tell Yunchang and others."

Seeing that Liu Bei's face was a little gloomy when he said the last sentence, but then he tried to restrain himself, Chen Xi understood what Liu Bei wanted to say. Even Liu Tong knew clearly what was happening in the Ganges River now. Liu Bei should give a few special instructions, what if Guan Yu was affected.

"A big martial arts performance, then I'll provide some materials as well. I just happen to have some good stuff." Cookie also likes the excitement. "How about this, I'll provide some of the materials. It doesn't matter if there's a reward or not. Just put them in the food. I'll also provide some drinks. This will also be considered my sponsorship. I want to sit in the best seat in the first row."

"Even if you don't have these things, we won't refuse you if you want to sit in the best seat in the first row." Chen Xi said unhappily, "You have brought out so many things and made this request, as if we don't respect you."

"It's not disrespect, but too much respect. Sometimes when I look at the clay sculptures in the temple, I find that I look a bit like that thing." Cookie said with an unhappy face. Too much respect is not good, it is easy to make him feel out of place. People should still gather in groups.

"Speaking of it, what if the Qigong of Beigui wants to participate?" Liu Tong asked with a thoughtful look, "At the end of every year, there will be a group of Qigong of Beigui. What if they want to participate?"

I won't do it randomly. It's agreed that I will update it hard throughout the month, but I didn't make up for it today. I got up late. Anyway, there are Saturdays and Sundays. I can rest assured.
