Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

In Jiangdong, Ye City was built.

In the palace, in the corner of the study room, next to the window, there is an exquisite coffee table.

There is a set of exquisite purple clay tea sets placed on the coffee table. The teapot exudes a faint fragrance of tea. It seems that the owner here is inviting distinguished guests to drink tea and discuss Taoism.

Even in the winter of the Little Ice Age, even Jiangdong was bitingly cold.

But in the study, the fragrance of ink was fragrant, and the fire was burning brightly. The crackling flames were jumping in the furnace. Under the light of the flames, Guan Lin was writing urgently.

It's like writing a letter!

To be more precise, three replies.

Just now, he received a letter from his third sister Guan Yinping and found it. Jianye City is to the northeast, past Danyang, Moling, Hushu, Jurong, and Jiangcheng. The mine has been locked and copper ore has been successfully dug out, and the amount of ore is huge!

Guan Yinping conservatively estimated that it would be enough for several years of military expenditure!

And yesterday, Guan Lin also received letters from Lu Xun's son Lu Yan.

The mines south of Wuhu Port and surrounded by "Chungu County", "Jingxian County", "Wanling" and "Lingyang" were also discovered and successfully excavated, and copper mines were dug out.

As a result, the troops were divided into two groups... Sun Shao, Zhou Xun, and Tai Shixiang also received good news...

To the north of "Jinghu Lake", in Haiyan County, which is adjacent to Wu County, the excavation of the extremely secret "salt mine" was also extremely smooth, and a large amount of salt mines were successfully excavated. The specific output... So far, it is impossible to estimate!

All in all, there is a lot, a lot, a lot of gray——

Two copper mines, one salt mine…

It is no exaggeration to say that these discoveries alone... and the economic benefits that these mines will generate will make even the wealthy families in Soochow jealous -

Guan Lin's three replies were exactly the same, "Continue digging, seal off the mines, and release the news so that the news of the discovery of these three mineral veins will spread throughout Jiangdong."

Lu Xun is also in this study...

After Guan Lin finished writing the letter, he took it and copied it twice himself before sending it out, but he couldn't help but sigh.

"Is Yun Qi planning to use this method to deal with those disobedient nobles?"

Facing Lu Xun's question, Guan Lin smiled slightly, and then said slowly, "No one is born obedient. This Jiangdong family... has never had a fuel-efficient lamp... My second brother always said that they treat us The land policy that needs to be implemented and the navigational national policy that needs to be implemented are being violated in both cases. The problem here...is actually based on interests!"

"To make the clan obedient, then... only the benefits I can bring to them are higher than their original benefits. Only in this way will they flock to my orders and be loyal. Not to mention the policy of the Northern Expedition, The national policy of navigation... in the face of absolute interests, even if I ask them to die for me, they will not blink an eye."

Having said this, Guan Lin turned around and looked at the map hanging in the room.

Remarkably, the locations of two copper mines and a salt mine are clearly marked on the map of Jiangdong...

Now...on the map, this mineral vein...appears particularly eye-catching under Guan Lin's words.

He went on to say, "Everything in the world is about profit, and everything in the world is about profit... There are no permanent friends, but you must have eternal interests! And interests... are actually the most reliable!"

this…

Following Guan Lin's words, Lu Xun also fell into deep thought.

If you really want to talk about it, it seems that he followed Guan Lin for the benefit, for his own benefit, for the benefit of the whole family, and for the benefit of the whole clan...

but…

"Haha..." Lu Xun smiled, and sighed as he laughed: "The most powerful thing about you, Yun Qi, is that you can always offer benefits that the other party cannot refuse... Just like the disaster you helped my Lu family avoid, It’s also like the three mines that were offered this time... Under this irresistible benefit... I am extremely impressed by Xun!"

Lu Xun's words blurted out, and Guan Lin immediately realized that Lu Xun had gone astray.

Guan Lin asked back: "Bo Yan? You don't think that I plan to give these three mines to these wealthy families in Jiangdong to gain their cooperation and loyalty, do you?"

"Isn't that true?" Lu Xun was surprised.

Guan Lin's mouth opened slightly, and he began to drag down the hanging map...

Lu Xun was also surprised. The drawing in front of him was only a small part of the map.

Then…

What appeared in front of his eyes were the three mines in Jiangdong, the Central Plains and the North, especially the North... veins of copper, silver, and gold mines all appeared before Lu Xun's eyes.

this…

Lu Xun was stunned.

——"Is this a mineral vein that has not yet been excavated in the whole of China?" Yun Qi...he actually has such a detailed mine map! 』

It was as if, after being stunned for a short time, Lu Xun seemed to be deeply shocked.

His mouth opened wide and his eyes widened.

——Still shocking...

——It’s still too incredible!

Guan Lin noticed his expression, as expected, but his hands were not idle. After pulling the map down to the bottom, he pulled the map to the right. In this way, the boundless ocean was reflected. In front of his eyes and Lu Xun's.

What shocked Lu Xun the most was the islands in the ocean, and... and the end of the ocean, which seemed to have many continents.

Of course, that's not the point.

The key point is that the veins of "gold mines", "silver mines", and "copper mines" on these continents are marked more, so many that they can't be counted.

It was only then that Guan Lin spoke: "The mineral veins that have been discovered and excavated in depth are only three in Jiangdong. How many are there? In the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, in this vast sea, there are many mineral veins. Go...it's ten times, a hundred times that of Jiangdong! The three mineral veins in front of them just make these Jiangdong clans jealous. If they also want to dig mines, well, against Wei's territory and the conquest of the sea, there will be gold everywhere , there are mineral veins everywhere, and there is endless wealth everywhere. As long as these big families in Jiangdong conquer the ocean and conquer the ocean, they can harvest all this wealth! I, Guan Lin, can afford to pick as much as they want!"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin's passionate tone calmed down a bit, and he said calmly, "None of them are fools to become the top wealthy clan in Jiangdong. Once this distribution map of the world's mineral veins is transmitted to them, , their horizons will be completely opened. Do they know what to do and what not to do? They will know better who their loyal objects should be - "

this…

Even Lu Xun couldn't help but feel excited and enthusiastic when he saw the so-called "world" map in front of him and heard Guan Lin's inspiring words.

He could even imagine that if the difficult Jiangdong clan heard this and saw this, the greed in their bones would definitely make them... rush to do it, even if they take ten or a hundred times the risk!

This benefit is too great!

And this is where Guan Lin guides them to make the most correct and loyal choice.

Lu Xun couldn't help but murmur in his heart...

——"This corner of Jiangdong is still too narrow!" 』

——"Yun Qi's vision is the world, but the most terrifying thing is more than that. The most terrifying thing is that Yun Qi wants to raise the vision of all the big families and everyone in Jiangdong to the realm of "the world." 』

——"Is this the so-called world of all nations?" 』

——'This is Yun Qi's plan, how he turns those "oil-inefficient lamps" into hope that illuminates the man and Jiangdong! Can it even light up a piece of the puzzle of the world illuminated by the sun and the moon and reached by the rivers? 』

Amazing…

This pattern alone is powerful enough!

When Lu Xun was upright, his heart was filled with excitement and excitement.

"Son..."

The voice of a soldier outside the door came, leading him inside, holding a letter in his hand, as if he had something to report.

"Bo Yan is not an outsider. Uncle Shiwu has something to do, but it doesn't matter..."

Following Guan Lin's painting, Shiwu handed the letter to Guan Lin, and then described in detail: "This letter was sent by Mrs. Huang Yueying seven hundred miles away... and some black and white colors were also sent. The powder is packed in a bamboo tube...Mrs. Huang strongly urged the messenger to protect it carefully and deliver it to Yun Qi personally!"

Hmm...so urgent?

And powder?

Guan Lin suddenly thought of something and quickly opened the letter, and the content in the letter confirmed his conjecture.

——Black powder... is out!

——Gunpowder whips and arrows are also produced!

And what’s in the bamboo tube is the sample!

This is an unexpected joy, an ecstasy... Sure enough, Guan Lin can always believe in this kind of research that combines chemistry and physics... The chief scientist of this era - Mrs. Huang Yueying!

For a while…

Guan Lin became excited.

He showed a rare expression of not being calm. He jumped up without milk, his smile and excitement were beyond words.

Lu Xun didn't know that the letter was about "black gunpowder", and he didn't even know what the black gunpowder meant.

But...seeing Guan Lin dancing like this, he was carefully observing the powder in the bamboo tube...

Obviously, that black powder is probably a dangerous strategic weapon.

"Son..."

Shiwu then reminded: "Besides this letter, there is another thing. People from Liao Hua in Anlu County, Jiangxia sent news that many Taoists were recently discovered around Sifang Mountain where the refinery is located. They disguised themselves as Dressed up, passing by Sifang Mountain intentionally or unintentionally... his whereabouts are suspicious!"

this…

The news about Taoists mentioned by Shiwu instantly aroused Guan Lin's vigilance.

——Sifang Mountain;

——Taoist!

It's hard not to remind Guan Lin of what he is most worried about...

That is, Cao Cao sent a Taoist priest to secretly investigate white phosphorus and imitate it.

——"It seems...Cao Cao is determined to continue on the road of "air raids". 』

Guan Lin pondered in his heart...

However, Lu Xun suggested directly: "It seems that after Mianshui Villa, Ni Wei has noticed the refinery in Jingzhou. If Yun Qi hadn't deliberately reminded General Liao Hua, he might not have noticed these Taoists... Most of these Taoists are meticulous. It’s better to arrest him directly! Punish him severely and serve as a warning to others! At least, it will also have a huge deterrent effect on subsequent detailed actions!”

Guan Lin was still meditating. In his mind, he was combining the "black gunpowder" and the "Taoist" series of news...

Soon, he seemed to have figured it out, his eyes flashed, but he shook his head, "Catch him, it's not good, one will easily scare the snake, but the other two, it will be too boring!"

ah…

Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What does Yun Qi mean?"

At this time, Guan Lin smiled. While laughing, he lowered his voice and said softly to Lu Xun: "If Mrs. Huang had not developed this black gunpowder, the refining of white phosphorus would be the top priority, but now... The situation is different again! A small piece of black powder is enough to instantly detonate a large amount of white phosphorus, causing horrific damage... So, I think..."

call…

Lu Xun seemed to realize something, "Yun Qi, you mean... secretly assisting these Ni Wei's craftsmen to transport white phosphorus to Ni Wei? And then use this black gunpowder..."

"That's right..." Guan Lin nodded, but his eyes narrowed into slits. He said lightly, "Let's first sell the white phosphorus to Ni Wei and make a lot of money from him, and then... use black gunpowder to light these batches. The white phosphorus that has been successfully transported to Niwei...finally...Bo Yan, have you seen the fireworks?"

Guan Lin told his overall plan in a very tactful way...

What he subconsciously thought of was a sentence - art is explosion!

Moreover, this time the explosion was so subtle that no one would find out that it was Guan Lin. It would only be attributed to the consequences of Cao Wei's imitation of white phosphorus.

Such and such, such and such.

Not only were the people who rebelled against Wei gone, but the palace was also lost, even the people's hearts were severely damaged, and even Cao Cao was also in danger!

It might even be related to another plan!

Of course, Lu Xun could not fully understand this plan because he did not understand the power and effects of black gunpowder.

But...it seems that, according to Mr. Yunqi's wishes, as long as such a bamboo tube of black gunpowder is transported to Niwei and then detonated in Niwei's white phosphorus storage place, the consequences...

——Life is in ruins! How tragic!

Is that so?

Is that right?

Lu Xun clicked his lips...

He thought, "Is this...is this a little too harsh?" 』

Of course, Lu Xun just felt in his heart that this method was too cruel, but he would never mention it.

In history, Lu Xun burned 700,000 Liu Bei people. Did he even blink?

Since ancient times...one general can achieve great success!

What's more... this success will not damage the reputation of Bashu, Jingzhou, and Jiangdong. This is something that all parties are happy to hear!

The so-called benevolence is always relative. As long as you are not in the spotlight, even if you throw benevolence aside, who knows?

History is always written by the victors!

…

…

——Understand Guan Yu, identify with Guan Yu, and become Guan Yu!

In the middle of Shu, in General Zuo's mansion, Guan Yu's good brother Liu Bei is experiencing a battle between heaven and man.

He feels that when it comes to dealing with the issue of "self" and "treason", he can fully understand and identify with Guan Yu, and is even about to become a good brother to Guan Yu.

Just now…

Liu Chan said, "Dad...are you stupid?" "It directly changed the atmosphere in the room from warm to violent... and also changed Liu Bei's cheek from finally softening to dark clouds again!

The anger in my chest was about to burst out, and I couldn't hold it back any longer...

It is no exaggeration to say that if Liu Bei's double sword was not still in Zhao Yun's hand at this moment, he would have had the urge to draw the sword after hearing these words.

It was Zhuge Liang who stepped forward immediately, "Adou? Why are you talking nonsense?"

"I'm not talking nonsense..." Liu Chan straightened his chest. He had just engaged in a verbal battle with a group of big landowners. These big landowners suffered a dumb loss, which directly pushed his self-confidence to the extreme. He held his head high, "Master Zhuge, Disciple is not talking nonsense. Dad doesn’t understand anything, so he just accuses the child. Isn’t he stupid? So what is he?”

After saying this, Liu Bei's eyes looked around. He was looking for Zhao Yun. No, to be precise, he was looking for his male and female swords. He wanted to chop the traitor.

However, Liu Chan's words continued, "My father said that I would force these farmers to be my tenants! I am no different from those tyrants and bullies. This statement is wrong, because... these farmers are not forced by me at all. Yes, they are all willing to farm for me!"

"That's nonsense..." Liu Bei said directly: "If there is no benefit, why should they farm for you? Do you want you to do evil? Or do you want you to do evil?"

"They want me not to take a shower, right?" Liu Chan directly met Liu Bei's fierce gaze, "Dad, why do I have so much trouble communicating with you? Oh...I understand, it's my problem, it's me and Yun Master Qi has been here for too long and his level is too high, which is completely incomprehensible to my father. So... oh, it’s my problem!”

"You..." Liu Bei took a step forward and raised his arms...

Thanks to Fazheng holding his arm, and thanks to Zhao Yun holding the "double sword" to hide, otherwise... No matter how good-tempered Liu Bei is, if his son contradicts him like this, he will definitely punish him severely.

"Adou..."

Zhuge Liang frowned. The word "Adou" had mixed feelings. It seemed that Zhuge Liang wanted to know what Adou wanted to express, but also wanted to persuade him to restrain himself a little...

Indeed, I asked you to go to Jingzhou and learn from Guan Lin, but I didn’t ask you to surpass...

Can you please be more restrained?

"Master Zhuge" Liu Chan spoke again, "Hearing is false and seeing is believing. Anyway, my father doesn't believe anything I say. Why not let him directly ask my so-called 'sharecroppers' to see if they are being kidnapped by their children." Coerced? See if they are voluntary, the kind that even a child can’t drive away!”

this…

Not to mention, Liu Chan's tough words really softened Liu Bei's attitude.

——"This kid can't really..."

Liu Bei is still daydreaming...

Seeing Liu Chan's solemn tone, Zhuge Liang quickly ordered: "Come here, go and invite Mr. Adou's tenants..."

"No..." The two guards were about to go out...

"Wait a minute..." Zhuge Liang quickly added, "Please give me more..."

It seemed that the words "please give me more" had a profound meaning. The two guards seemed to understand, so they resigned and went to make arrangements.

For a time, the main hall, which was originally bustling with excitement and uproar, suddenly became deserted.

Liu Chan found it boring, so he simply found a bench and sat down, and asked Guan Lin to cross his legs and tremble. The whole image was quite indecent...

Liu Bei really couldn't bear it, "Adou..."

"Dad, what's wrong?" Liu Chan showed great impatience.

In fact, he just found it boring. It was completely different from Jingzhou and there was no trust at all...

how? Is there no trust between people at all?

"Not to mention your rape of the tenant farmers, after all, you attribute your father to a rebel? This is what my father has seen and heard with his own ears, and it cannot be false? How else can you quibble?"

Liu Bei asked another question...

"This..." Liu Chan showed an indifferent look, "Dad? You are mistaken. I don't regard you as a rebel, I regard Liu Bei as a rebel..."

you? Liu Bei?

Liu Bei was suddenly confused, but he could still make an accurate judgment. Wasn't the person Adou mentioned in his mouth the same person?

When Liu Bei was confused, Liu Chan continued, "It's just a card game. Liu Bei can be a rebel, Guan Yu can be a rebel, and even Fazheng Military Advisor and Master Zhuge can be rebels... Everyone You can be a rebel, you can be a loyal minister... You can also be a lord, and those who are unlucky can be a traitor... There are four identities, three types of cards, and a variety of civil servants and generals with various characteristics... This is a card designed by Master Yunqi so that I can remember the characteristics of heroes from all walks of life... But my father made a fuss out of a molehill and said that I had classified him as a rebel without asking any questions? Isn't this a blinding eye? Isn't this a glimpse of what's going on? A frog in the well? Shouldn't father think deeply about it? "

Well…

It was as if Liu Chan's words stunned Liu Bei and everyone here.

Liu Bei's eyes widened and he murmured in his heart.

——‘You are still blind to the sight of Mount Tai? Do you still have any clues? A frog in a well? 』

——‘You still want your father to reflect on himself? 』

As if, realizing that something was wrong with Liu Bei's expression, Zhuge Liang quickly asked: "Since Adou, you said that Yun Qi helped you remember the characteristics of the heroes of the world, then I will test you? Just under our roof, The Dharma is upright, filial and upright, what are his characteristics?"

"Grudges..." Liu Chan blurted out, "Enmity is a thousand-year record of receiving kindness from others. A drop of kindness will be repaid by a spring! Resentment is the resentment of Jiaju, and all will be retaliated. Anyone who hurts me will be compared with every penny! Except for this In addition... there is also confusion. This is because... in the past, his father was not ashamed of Xu Jing's character and did not want to reuse him. However, Fazheng Military Advisor put forward a completely different point of view. Xu Jing's reputation was great. Even if his character and talent were not good, he should still be He followed the example of King Yan Zhao in appointing Guo Wei... Because of this, Fazheng Military Advisor was often misunderstood by others, saying that he was good at the art of dazzling, and that he indulged in the art of bewitching and treated it as business, which was contrary to the respected aristocratic ethos..."

Don't tell me, Liu Chan's words are clear and logical...

So much so that everyone in the hall listened attentively, whether it was Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, or Jian Yong.

That's when...

"Hahahahaha..." A hearty laugh came out, and everyone looked around for laughter, but it was Fa Zheng laughing.

"What a grudge, what a thousand-year record of receiving favors from others. Those who hurt me will be compared with each other...what a dazzling art. I never thought that Master Yunqi's little playing card would actually bring me to justice." The insight is clear! I admire it, I admire it..."

this…

Undoubtedly, Fazheng's statement made the balance of "victory" infinitely shift to Liu Chan's side. If you take into account the relationship between Fazheng and Liu Bei, it is absolutely impossible for him to lie on Liu Chan's behalf.

Zhuge Liang was also keenly aware of this, and he continued, "In that case, I will be curious, Adou...what are the characteristics of your father in this chess game?"

Zhuge Liang originally wanted to use this method to resolve the tense atmosphere between father and son...

Who ever wanted to hear "Liu Bei's characteristics", Liu Chan just waved his hand...

Then he said quite boldly:

"My dad...Master Yun Qi glorifies him too much. He doesn't deserve-"

Well…

For a moment, Liu Bei truly felt what it meant to fall from heaven to hell!

For just that moment, he felt like a lump in his throat, a light on his back, and a feeling of being on pins and needles...

My heart is pounding, it hurts so much!

The anger is also booming and overflowing!
