Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 17 Ideal
When Bai Tu walked out of the county magistrate's office in confusion, he found Chen Gong waiting for him outside.

Tangled, Bai Tu is very tangled, this is caused by too many choices!
Technology that is too advanced will definitely not be researched. For something that is a little more advanced, with the power of Xiaopei, it will probably take several years to achieve results. Bai Tu will definitely choose those that are extremely cost-effective, such as improved papermaking and movable type printing. …

At the moment, there is no need to worry too much about technological research, but when it comes to military training, Bai Tu has a bit of a headache.

If he opens his mouth, with Chen Gong as a brainiac, Lu Bu will definitely lend him a group of troops temporarily - Bai Tu knows very well that although he is the prefect, the entire prefect is now lent to him by Lu Bu's army.

However, the various types of arms completely dazzled Bai Tu, and he was also very entangled. The arms that were too strong needed corresponding technological support, otherwise the equipment would not be able to keep up, and the training period was also long. The arms that were too weak...were not as good as ordinary officers. military!
Seeing Bai Tu's expression, Chen Gong naturally imagined that Bai Tu was confused at this moment - he should be thinking about whether to give up the idea of ​​hiding from the world and living in seclusion.

When Bai Tu saw Chen Gong, he calmed down for the time being and planned to wait for efficient papermaking and movable type printing to be developed before considering other things.

"Commander Chen, I have transferred the manpower and food that need to be supplemented to the military camp... There is still some manpower, and I have arranged some corvee labor," Bai Tu said.

"Mr. Bai doesn't need to report to me, can we still worry about what you are doing?" Chen Gong said quickly.

The so-called manpower refers to the power extracted from the people every year. If it is extracted normally, approximately 1 manpower can be extracted per population per year. Because the age and physique of individuals are different, there are differences. The elderly and children... cannot be counted as 1. Population, calculated!

People in some areas can draw special manpower. For example, Danyang's elite soldiers need local manpower to be "trained". In addition to military service, manpower can also be used as corvees to farm fields, create things, build cities, build roads...normally. It is to use corvee, but to break through some technical difficulties, corvee at the level of "skilled craftsman" is required!
Even real technical difficulties require the research and development of breakthroughs by craftsmen themselves - for many technologies, Baitu must first train or recruit a group of skilled craftsmen before it can start research and development.

After all, the information is not complete, many of them are just theoretical explanations, and even some of the information itself has errors and flaws...

But now Xiaopei obviously does not have such high conditions.

Fortunately, the information on improved papermaking and movable type printing was very complete, and there were no prerequisites that could not be met, so Bai Tu could be completed in Xiaopei, and Bai Tu did not have the idea of ​​excessively drawing on manpower.

Manpower can be extracted through overdraft, but it will cause a lot of damage. For example, when Cao Cao captured Xuzhou City, he directly extracted manpower ten times - this was also the highest overdraft. In the next ten years, manpower will no longer be extracted from these people. And it will also greatly affect the fertility rate and the work efficiency of the people.

Chen Gong just came to see Bai Tu. After refilling the lost official seal, will his mentality change? Looking at it now... there is no rush!
Chen Gong walked with Bai Tu for a while, and suddenly his eyes glanced at Bai Tu's waist, and a touch of purple came into his eyes.

I saw that the seal bag on Bai Tu's waist was bulging, obviously filled with something, and from the mouth of the bag, a purple ribbon was protruded, and an additional bolt was hung on the belt...

The moment he saw Zishou, Chen Gong no longer needed to think about it. It could even be said that this was an affirmation of his previous thoughts - Bai Tu was indeed a great sage in the world!
"Mr. Bai, what are your plans for the future?" Chen Gong asked, pretending to be chatting.

In fact, Chen Gong has been having trouble sleeping recently. After hearing Bai Tu analyze the situation of "the demise of the Han Dynasty" before, Chen Gong also fell into confusion.

Obviously Chen Gong didn't think that Lu Bu would be the hero who could unify the world!

If I can assist him in becoming Huo Guang, he will have accomplished his meritorious deeds... But now I'm afraid I don't have the chance to become Huo Guang.

Of course, Chen Gong had no intention of betraying Lü Bu. After all, whether in history or in romance, although Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao, he never betrayed Lü Bu until his death. Later generations left a legacy for him: "Don't follow the golden stone." Comments such as "It's all in vain" and "I know so much in a short period of time, but I only hate the public platform and don't choose a place to live", etc. There are both regrets and praises at the same time.

The same is true now, but Chen Gong's mentality has shifted from assisting Lu Bu to be Huo Guang to how to find a way out for Lu Bu.

Even Chen Gong could not imagine a future in which Lu Bu would become a hero who would dominate the world. Therefore, Chen Gong hoped that Lu Bu could become a founding father with great achievements like Han Xin... Of course, he meant before the "finale" Han Xin!

For a moment, Chen Gong even thought of Er Yuan again. Indeed, these two seemed very promising, and Chen Gong, like most people, did not think highly of Liu Bei even if he met him once.

I just remembered that Bai Tu also vetoed the vote for Yuan. At that time, Chen Gong himself was not aware of the general situation of the impending doom of the Han Dynasty, but Bai Tu had expected it, so Chen Gong did not dare to make a decision, so he could only take one step. , take a look.

"Plans?" Bai Tu was stunned when he heard this. Apart from short-term plans to improve papermaking and movable type printing, he really didn't have any plans.

And for this short-term goal, he only needs to step by step into the corvee and light up the technology he already has a draft of, and he doesn't need to do anything at all.

Bai Tu is the one who should be confused the most!
Although this world looks very interesting, but... apart from Cheng Ji's room and various military equipment that look like black technology but are actually of little use, this place is completely "ancient" to Bai Tu.

What do you want to do?Of course I want to go home, order takeout and play with my mobile phone every day, isn’t that great?
At this moment, Bai Tu suddenly heard a nursery rhyme ringing in his ears: "To promote a scholar, he doesn't know how to read; to promote a filial piety and integrity, his father lives apart; he is as cold as mud; Gao Diliang is as timid as a chicken..."

For a moment, Bai Tu felt even more irritated. He walked up to a group of little kids who were clapping their hands and singing nursery rhymes, and scolded them: "Which family are you children from? Why are you fooling around outside at such a young age? Don't you know how to study?"

During the period of Emperor Huandi and Lingdi, the Han Dynasty sold officials and nobles from top to bottom...even the high positions of the three princes could be sold!Cao Song, Cao Cao's father, bought the Taiwei, and it was a joke for a while.

In addition, the gentry and aristocratic families were rigid, and poor families were squeezed out. The official selection system of the Han Dynasty, which was mainly based on the inspection and promotion system, was full of holes. This folk song, which had been banned many times, began to become popular among the people.

Seeing Baitu yelling at them, the little kids were terrified—even if most of them were seven or eight years old, they knew that Baitu's clothes meant that they could easily control the status of their family, and it was impossible for them to be like the children of later generations. Like a kid, he has no scruples.

There were adults rushing over from the surrounding area. Even if they didn't recognize Bai Tu as the prefect, they repeatedly apologized and said, "My lord! This kid is not sensible. It's because we didn't teach him well and he bumped into you... Calm down your anger. Calm down your anger..."

Seeing this, Bai Tu was a little embarrassed and said, "Ahem, I mean... you really haven't taught your children well. Why are such young children yelling outside without studying?"

As soon as this statement came out, not to mention a few anxious people, even Chen Gong looked at Bai Tu inexplicably - studying?What does this mean?

What does "reading" have to do with these mud-legged children?
"This... my lord is joking, we are just ordinary people, how can we study..."

"No books to read? No books to read..." Bai Tu also reacted when he heard this. He was so distracted just now that he forgot that to a certain extent, this was the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

"Hiss... I seem to know what I am going to do... Do you think you will stop studying if you don't want to study? What a beautiful idea!" Bai Tu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Chen Gong looked at Bai Tu who returned to the official office and was still muttering. He was also puzzled. Even if he was thinking about strange things, he couldn't think of Bai Tu at this time...
