I have a chat group.

Chapter 145 The World's No. Story Begins

Looking at the crying Li Shimin, Zhuge Liang didn't know how to comfort him.

Although this Three Kingdoms is the world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei in the whole world is still Emperor Zhaolie of Han, the resolute and fierce Emperor Zhaolie of Han, not the crybaby. So Zhuge Liang had never seen a grown man cry.

Plus, the two of them weren't familiar with each other, so they were at a loss as to what to do.

Finally, Zhuge Liang summoned up his courage to ask, "Your Majesty, why are you crying?"

Li Shimin slowly wiped his eyes, "I just saw the wealth of your emperor's world, and I was overwhelmed with emotions. I couldn't help it. The Song Dynasty is really too wealthy!"

After saying this, Li Shimin started crying again, but he still took out the list of the Song Dynasty's arsenal and handed it to Zhuge Liang.

After Zhuge Liang saw the list of the Song Dynasty's arsenal, the feather fan in his hand fell to the ground. This was the wealth he had never seen before. There were hundreds of thousands of heavy armored helmets and weapons that could equip two million troops. Zhuge Liang could not imagine it.

What's more, there are also grain reserves from various places within the territory controlled by the Song Dynasty, which is more than two times the total grain output of the entire Han Dynasty!

“Why is the grain so expensive?”

When Zhuge Liang saw the grain reserves, he thought he had seen it wrong, but after looking at it several times, he was sure that this should be true.

So Zhuge Liang wanted to know what was going on.

Li Shimin also smelled it immediately. "It's because of Champa rice. Champa rice comes from Champa. It uses less water than our local rice. It can be planted in some places further north. Its planting density is relatively high, and its yield is higher than that of rice. It can also be planted twice a year, with an output of about 300 to 400 kilograms per mu. The Song Dynasty also increased its population to 100 million because of the planting of this kind of rice."

Li Shimin explained it verbatim, but when he talked about the last 100 million people, his voice became sharp as if it had been cut by a knife.

A population of 100 million was simply unimaginable for Wang Chao in ancient times!
Because before the Song Dynasty, the population limit of the Central Plains dynasty was about 60 million. During the Tianbao period, due to the warm season, the population reached 80 million, but this was already the limit.

But in the Song Dynasty, a population of 100 million was not their limit, and the Song Dynasty was not yet a unified dynasty, and the development of the south was not yet completed. In this case, having a population of 100 million, what does this mean?

Li Shimin knew it very well, and Zhuge Liang knew it even better.

This means that if the Song Dynasty had developed the entire south into a unified dynasty, their population could have increased by another 100 million!

"Is Champa the same as Jiaozhou?"

Zhuge Liang suddenly asked a question.

"It should be somewhere further south, right?"

Li Shimin thought about it and felt that it should be somewhere further south.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh, "There are such treasures in the south, and we are still sitting in a well and looking at the world!"

"Indeed, we are indeed sitting in a well and looking at the sky!"

Li Shimin held the world map of the Three Kingdoms period that he had just bought from the chat group and felt that he had underestimated the world. The Central Plains, for which all dynasties had fought, was only the size of a palm. It was really speechless!

"what is this?"

Zhuge Liang also saw the world map, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, as well as the mountains and rivers that he was familiar with, but he couldn't believe it because it was really too terrifying.

"World map!"

Li Shimin took out another bookcase and placed it in front of Zhuge Liang. "This is a medical book from the Song Dynasty, all prepared by your emperor. There is also the "Wu Jing Zong Yao"! It contains various cold weapons, firearms, warships and other equipment used by the Northern Song army, and is accompanied by a large number of images of weapons and camps. There are also "Siege Methods", "Water Attack", "Water Warfare", "Defending the City" and other attack and battle chapters, which not only record the weapons and equipment related to these tactics, but also the conditions of fortifications and warships. It also describes in detail the various weapons and equipment of the army at that time, and each one has a clear illustration. In the four volumes from the tenth to the thirteenth volume alone, there are more than 250 illustrations of various types, and the pictures are also annotated with detailed names of the objects, how to use and other textual descriptions in regular script. Your emperor is quite capable, at least he knows what is a good thing!"

Li Shimin looked at Wujingzong with a sigh on his face. This thing could actually be bought and sold on the street in the Northern Song Dynasty. Is there any law?

This kind of thing would always be hidden deep inside the imperial palace in any dynasty, and outsiders were never allowed to see it. But in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was openly displayed and sold on the streets, which was really scary.

Of course, the same was true in the Ming Dynasty, where their new books on historical events were also sold on the streets.

After Li Shimin knew these things, he became a little crazy, because in his time these books were either collections of aristocratic families or royal collections, and were things that absolutely could not be seen by ordinary people, especially the new books on history.

This book is never about teaching a person how to fight a war, but about teaching a person how to train soldiers.

Ji Xiao's new book is a practical summary of the experience in training and managing the army. As long as a middle-level general has read Ji Xiao's new book, he will understand how to train troops, how to prepare the army, and how to prepare for a battle. These were the unrevealed secrets of true generals' families in ancient times.

After learning this new book on military effectiveness, you can manage a camp of 3 to 5 people. For ordinary generals, being able to manage 3 to 5 people is already very impressive, because those 3 to 5 people trained in this way are real elite soldiers, and they are the kind of grassroots officers who can lead five to ten people in battle by themselves.

After reading these books, Zhuge Liang felt that the later generations were really powerful. "Prime Minister Zhuge, what do you think of these books? If you want the infantry armor, I can help you arrange it. Liu Chan can probably get 5 to 6 full sets of armor. As for weapons, we can only get some divine arm bows, which are estimated to be about 1 to 2."

Li Shimin also discussed with Liu Chan and felt that he could get a full set of hypotheses and weapons from Liu Chan.

The transaction between the two of them seemed like a joke to other people in the chat group, because full sets of armor had been eliminated long ago. After using muskets as weapons, wearing a full set of armor would make one a complete target. So at that time, the clothes worn were those from World War I and World War II. If bulletproof was required, ceramic inserts would be used.

Although ceramic inserts are bulletproof materials invented in later generations, ceramics could be fired in the Song and Ming dynasties. In particular, the ceramic technology in the Ming Dynasty had reached a near-peak level.

So as long as they knew how to make those ceramic inserts, they could make them in a short time, and with these ceramic inserts, they would not have to worry about any danger when facing the Western army's muskets.

But generally speaking, these things are not used. Anyone who wears them is in a high position and is worried about being assassinated, such as the emperor, ministers, and officials in charge of logistics and food supplies.

After hearing what Li Shimin said, Zhuge Liang pointed to the cotton armor mentioned in Ji Xiao's new book and said, "Your Majesty, if possible, I hope to get this kind of armor made of cotton cloth that can keep warm and prevent injuries, and it also has a thin version that can be worn in summer. This kind of armor is what we need!"

During this period, Zhuge Liang and his wife Huang Yueying had already created the Zhuge Crossbow, and were preparing to expand these weapons to the entire army. If one wore a full set of heavy armor and took the Zhuge Crossbow, it would look powerful but would completely lose mobility. If one wore cotton armor, there would be no problem.

This kind of armor has good defensive properties and is also very light. You can wear it while jogging without any problems. It is much better than heavy armor. If it is equipped with the Zhuge Crossbow, you can even move forward and shoot.

"Cotton armor, I can discuss this with Liu Chan, I should be able to get it!"

Li Shimin looked at the cotton armor and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, because Liu Chan did not have this kind of armor.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "In that case, I will leave my useless Majesty to you. However, these cotton armors should come from other later dynasties, and this bird gun should also come from a later dynasty. It looks more advanced than the fire lance."

Zhuge Liang directly pointed out that besides Liu Chan, there were other dynasties in the future. Li Shimin realized at this time that he had made a big mistake before. After he told this matter in the chat group, everyone nodded. It seems that the things in the chat group can be disclosed to a certain extent, or smart people can pretend that they did not disclose it.

Zhu Jianshen, "I'm so envious! Li Shimin was a wise ruler in the prosperous times, and now he has a famous prime minister Zhuge Liang by his side. What kind of combination is this?"

Zhu Youjian, "I don't envy Zhuge Liang, but I envy Liu Chan every day. Before, he had Zhuge Liang's full help. When he arrived in the new world, he was able to meet Yue Fei, Han Shizong and other loyal generals of the Restoration. He didn't even need to do anything, just support the front line, and he could complete the story of an emperor through the ages. This is really enviable!"

Zhu Houzhao said, "What do you have to envy? You have our food support. You just need to distribute the food, train the troops, and send them out. You can also clean up the country. It's much better than what I have done. I still don't know how to clean up. What about my country? Prince Ning is not rebelling again!"

After Zhu Houzhao returned to his own world, he suddenly discovered that Prince Ning didn't want to rebel again, so he was filled with hatred. In order to arouse Prince Ning's ambition, he deliberately sent his Eight Tigers to seduce Prince Ning!
Now that Prince Ning is no longer rebelling, what should he do?

Zhu Houzhao was still waiting for Prince Ning to rebel so that he could purge the court, but now it seems that this matter is not going to be easy!

Gao Wenfeng, "Don't you have that Iron-Courageous Monkey there? Let him do the work. Won't he also want to rebel? It will be the same even if you force him to rebel!"

Zhu Houzhao, "Stop talking. He is just a big monkey. He doesn't even know how to rebel all day long. Didn't I say it before? Who relies on underworld forces to rebel? But this idiot actually relies on underworld forces to rebel. I have never seen such a person. Now I feel painful whenever I see him. I really don't know how the old man educated him!"

Zhu Houzhao now wishes that someone in the world would quickly rebel so that he could clean up the court and overturn all the things his father had done. But now no one has taken any action, which makes him feel a little distressed. Fortunately, the princess of Izumo is still coming to propose marriage!
This gave Zhu Houzhao a feeling of finally getting his due, because the plot had finally begun.

So he immediately found Yu Huatian and asked him to go to the bottom of the Heavenly Prison and bring out the undefeated boy Gu Santong.

"Unbeatable boy Gu Santong, your kung fu is indeed very good, but it's a pity that you were defeated by my uncle in the end. From then on, you must stay away from the title of Iron-hearted Divine Marquis. You are really serious!"

Zhu Houzhao was looking after Gu Santong, who was almost exhausted. He felt extremely disdainful of him. He was obviously a man of the world, and a cynical man of the world, but here he was telling people that he was trustworthy. How could an old naughty boy be trustworthy?

"Defeat means defeat, and I, Gu Santong, can still afford it!"

Gu Santong knelt on the ground, without raising his head, and said that it was not that he really had much respect for the imperial power, but he was just beaten up by Yu Huatian and dragged over. Gu Santong had some respect for Yu Huatian.

"Yes, you failed, your reputation was ruined, and the lives of the hundreds of masters from the eight major sects were all on you. You are responsible for this. By the way, you have a son. Are you interested in meeting him? Your fiancée gave birth to a son for you. Are you interested in meeting this child? This child has been taught to be a human being!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't know how to judge whether he was right or wrong. He could only say that he was still a human being. Other than that, he really didn't know how to evaluate this guy.

"Son? I have a son?"

Gu Santong looked at Yu Huatian who was standing next to him with some disbelief. He wanted to know from this person whether this matter was true or false.

"Gu Santong, do you want to die? Why are you looking at me?"

Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes immediately. He felt that this was a provocation to him and a provocation to his identity as a eunuch.

"Eunuch Yu, I just want to know whether this is true or not."
