Chapter 189 Chaos

"Don't worry, people from the Ministry of Industry will handle the commercial construction matters. I've shown them your house design draft, and they have no problems at all!"

Not only is there no problem, many old people from the Ministry of Industry want to meet a genius like Gao and ask him how he came up with such a construction!

Using red bricks to build a house is not only novel and unique, but also has a different kind of customs.

"That's good, but if conditions permit, Nanman can also try the reinforced concrete construction method. Its materials will be safer and more stable!"

You know, although building houses with red bricks was once popular in modern society, it is now prohibited by order!

It has a very fatal flaw, it is not earthquake resistant!
I don't know if earthquakes occur frequently in places like Nanman, so Lu Manman is a little worried.

But since there is a problem, it is not impossible to discuss and study it together and find a suitable solution.

"There are many mines in Nanman. It would be great if there was iron to make steel! As for agriculture, I will visit more, study and learn improvement methods, and strive to increase the survival rate!"

"steel?"

"As early as ten years ago when the Southern Barbarians were first established, heroes emerged in large numbers. At that time, not only did some capable people invent steel, but there were also people who created a series of pasture farming, so that our Southern Barbarians can still have a place on the mainland!"

So, it’s not uncommon for travelers to exist on this continent?
"Mr. Gao? What's wrong with you?"

Now he is teaching to the people of Beizhao, and has already taught several ministers of the DPRK!

"Maybe! 'Huaxia' must be a very magical place. If there is a chance, the Ai family would also like to visit it!"

However, with the death of the late emperor, everything changed, and Nanman began to go downhill!
"They are just like you now, always able to create all kinds of things that have never been seen before!"

And it has existed for a long, long time!
For a moment, Lu Manman thought of Wei Wenming who was at Qingzhu Academy in Beizhao. He was also a time traveler.

Lu Manman came back to his senses and quickly regained his composure, but his thoughts were drifting away. Maybe there were other time-travelers on this continent...

Steelmaking is no simple matter!
But it appeared in this ancient time!

Chen Shuhui clearly noticed something was wrong with Lu Manman, and a look of shock and confusion flashed through Lu Manman's eyes.

"Mr. Gao, you don't know something. The reason why our southern barbarian weapons are different is precisely because we have a unique steel-making technology!"

But she doesn't know yet...

Something I've never seen before...

Lu Manman's heart was shaken. Could it be that there were once time-travelers in this southern barbarian?

Chen Shuhui didn't understand how Gao could mention steel, but what Chen Shuhui said next shocked Lu Manman.

"No...it's nothing. I was just wondering if their ancestors had been to the same place like me..."

At that time, the Southern Barbarians had strong military strength and free wealth. Even the current problem of rice and grain could be solved very well.

Faced with Lu Manman's worries, Chen Shuhui didn't care so much. Instead, she longed for the mysterious place Lu Manman had mentioned.

For a while, the two of them had their own thoughts and stopped talking. Lu Manman was busy with her own work, applying makeup and matching clothes to Chen Shuhui.

She even hand-painted a few pictures of gorgeous clothes and gave them to Grandma Chen. The palace had a clothing bureau, so it was not her turn to make clothes. "Ms. Gao, your craftsmanship is indeed extraordinary!"

Chen Shuhui looked at herself in the mirror and secretly sighed at Lu Manman's craftsmanship. No wonder he was praised and competed for by the ladies of the capital.

"The Queen Mother gave her a thumbs-up! No ordinary people dare to take this seriously!"

After Lu Manman finished putting on her makeup, she stepped back a few steps in a very measured manner and stood at a suitable position away from the Queen Mother.

"The Ai family will find someone to handle what you said today, but now we have a very difficult problem!"

Chen Shuhui frowned as she stared at the business plan. The financial resources were supported by the Chen family, and the construction was researched by the Ministry of Industry, but in terms of manpower...

"Because of your relationship, all the slaves in the North Mine ran away. General Lin could only allocate 20% of his soldiers from the battlefield to mine. Now if he really wants to build a new city, he may have to allocate at least 30% of his manpower! "

"We Nanman have been fighting Beizhao for many years and have suffered countless casualties. If we lose 50% of our soldiers at once, we may not be able to defend the border!"

This is a problem that the business plan has faced since it was mentioned, because Lin Haizhi has always opposed this issue!
When all the people are assigned to work, then he, the general, is no longer a mere commander!
Moreover, the Nanman and the Beizhao are now at odds with each other. If there are really less than half of the people fighting on the battlefield, the Nanman will definitely not be able to hold on for long.

By then it will be useless even if Nanman’s economy develops!
"The Ai family knows that you are from Beizhao. The Ai family should not ask you this question, but after all, you are the advocate of this plan, and the Ai family still wants to hear your opinion."

Lu Manman lowered his head, thought for a moment, and gave an answer.

"There is only one way at the moment, and that is to stop the war!"

Lu Manman's eyes were clear and translucent, firm and composed.

"Queen Mother, the stalemate in the war for many years has done a lot of harm to both countries. Since the Southern Barbarians want to develop the economy, why not negotiate peace with the Northern Zhao?"

"Only by withdrawing our troops and recuperating, can the Southern Barbarians achieve a more stable development. Otherwise, if we continue to fight in the current situation, the Southern Barbarians will be destroyed sooner or later!"

It's not that Lu Manman is talking big words, he's asking for food and manpower from Nanman, leaving only an empty capital!
Within two years, they were defeated without a fight!
Even their vassal states may be able to devour the Nanman at will!
"Your Majesty, I once met a six or seven-year-old child in Beikong. In order to prevent such a young child from suffering, his parents were willing to let him seek asylum in a dangerous place like Beikong."

"It is unwise to fight a war with all the strength of the country. The battle is won, but how many people are left to defend the city?"

"For the sake of the country and the sake of the people, please be careful, Queen Mother!"

Lu Manman spoke directly and pointed out the important points, which made Chen Shuhui blush.

Dare to say in front of the Queen Mother that the empty country will be destroyed, this is not ordinary courage!
Is this the same Gao who was nervous and scared when he came in just now?
"It's easy for you to say, but peace talks are not as easy as you think!"

How many years have Nanman and Beizhao fought?

After finally capturing several cities in Beizhao, it was just the beginning of the Nanman's first victory, and the peace talks were simply a slap in the face!

But it’s not that Chen Shuhui doesn’t know that stopping the war is indeed the only way now!
"Queen Mother, there is no other way. A country needs people to maintain and support it. If you just die in battle, it will be bad for everyone!"

"Besides, Beizhao's current government is in chaos, so peace talks are the best way for Beizhao!"

Lu Manman brought up Beizhao's political affairs and relied on Lu Nanchang's collusion with Nanman to buy and sell thousands of weapons.

Lu Manman dared to bet that Beizhao was not much better now!

If it weren't for Su Chenxu's hard support in the court, Beizhao would have been in chaos long ago!
