Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 269: Determined to Go North
A few days later, Zhang Yu and others came to Yinguan City. Liu He, who had been busy, finally spent a few days relaxing and comfortable.

Together, he and Zhang Yu met Zhen Yi and arranged three marriages for him.

Ten days later, Zhen Yi sent people to bring both sisters from Zhongshan County and married them to Zhang Yong and Zhu Ye respectively.

The entire Yinguan City, with nearly 200,000 soldiers and civilians, celebrated together, and it was extremely lively.

It's October now and the weather has become a bit cold.

I don’t know whether the Xianbei were frightened by the defeat this year or were busy fighting among themselves for the position of leader, so they did not come to plunder.

After finally finishing his work, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Liu He opened the system again.

The points gained from the improvement of character attributes made Liu He a nouveau riche for a while ago.

However, after exchanging so many things for the business, Liu He only had 472 points left. He would need to continue exchanging minerals and look for things that could help the development of the business. This amount of points could do almost nothing.

Liu He opened the task interface in his mind at this time, wanting to see how many task points he could collect.

"Complete the mission: Have at least five people with either command or force reaching 90, reward 200 points, and any assignable command and force will be increased by 1 point each."

"Complete the mission: Have at least five people with either intelligence or politics at 90, reward 200 points, and increase any allocable intelligence and politics by 1 point each."

"Task completed: reclaim 160 mu of wasteland. The host has currently reclaimed more than 70 million mu of wasteland. The first time it reached 400 mu, it received a reward once. This time, two rewards are added together, with a total of points."

"Complete the mission: resettle 200 refugees. Reward points: 1 points, and political improvement point can be allocated at will."

"Complete the mission: The army under your command reaches 150. Reward points are 1, and any assignable commander is increased by point."

"Complete the mission: Kill any enemy general whose military strength reaches 90 in a duel. During the first Yanmen War, the host killed the first warrior of Xianbei, Mang Huo, whose basic military strength was 94 points. The reward points are 150 points, and the host's military strength is increased by 1 point. The host's current basic military strength is increased to 95."

"Complete the mission. Any attribute of the host reaches 95. The current force reaches 200 points as a reward."

"The current score has been changed to 1972 points."

Liu He took on all the completed tasks.

"It's less than 2,000 points. At this stage, this amount of points is not enough. If we want to auction the next batch of licenses, we must have corresponding minerals. This amount of points is not enough to exchange for another batch of metal mines and salt mines, let alone upgrade the fourth-level system."

It will take a long time for a business to truly rise and achieve independent and comprehensive operations. Before that, the business must rely on these materials and corresponding licenses to attract popularity and make profits. If these things are missing, the business will be in name only.

Liu He couldn't help but call upon the system.

"System Boss, is there any way to solve this problem?"

"Replying to the host, there is a book called "Mineral Record" in the Level 4 system, which records in detail how to explore, excavate, and mine various minerals. If the host can exchange this book and then train a group of relevant talents, they can naturally rely on the minerals they have explored to meet their daily needs, greatly reducing the need to exchange minerals from the system."

Liu He was overjoyed and asked cheerfully, "How many points do I need to upgrade to level 4?" "To upgrade from level 3 to level 4, you need to consume 3,000 points, and you will get a lucky spin after the upgrade."

"Uh..." Liu He suddenly wilted.

"That doesn't mean I didn't say it. How long will it take me to collect 3,000 points? And even if I reach the fourth-level system, the things inside must be very expensive. I guess I can't afford to exchange them for a while. Forget it, I'd better continue to accumulate points honestly. Alas, I need to maintain a huge army and support the development of such a business at the same time. This pressure is really not light."

After finishing the task, Liu He opened the item exchange interface to see if there was anything he could use now.

After looking through it from beginning to end, he actually found something good!

"Hmm? This thing seems to be able to help me a little..."

Among the items that can be exchanged in the secondary system, there is an "Atlas of Detailed Explanations of Basic Handicraft Technology", which immediately aroused Liu He's interest.

He clicked on the introduction of the item in his mind: This atlas details the production methods of various handicrafts such as textiles, weaving, ceramics, woodworking, lacquerware, silk, embroidery, etc., as well as their improved techniques.

This thing had never been useful in the past, so it was ignored by Liu He. But in the current situation, this thing has become a great treasure!
"Haha, there is always a way out! I have a total of 17 counties under my jurisdiction, and many of them lack farmland and cannot support too many people. I can use this thing to not only help them find a way to make a living, but most importantly, handicraft products can greatly enrich the types of goods in commercial circulation, which is also of great benefit to the development of the business!"

Liu He didn't say anything and spent just 100 points to redeem this picture album.

Besides this, he noticed something else.

"Avian Domestication Manual: A detailed description of the methods of domesticating various birds and birds of prey."

"This thing has arrived just in time! When the You brothers were young, they used flying eagles to pass messages. Not long ago, I heard them mention that they had just obtained a pair of golden eagle cubs. Giving this thing to them is just right for them!"

The Flying Eagle Guards, which were managed by the You brothers, now had a size of 200 to 300 people. Apart from the You brothers, only Liu He knew all about these people. The Flying Eagle Guards could develop to this extent thanks to their own efforts. Liu He had hardly helped except for providing money and salary. This manual was just a gift from him to them.

Liu He spent another 200 points without hesitation.

The next day, Liu He handed the handicraft atlas to Li Ang of the trading company, and asked him to use the operation of the trading company to recruit a group of handicraft craftsmen, conduct research based on the information, and then directly open stalls and stores inside the trading company to sell the products. He then gradually expanded outward by recruiting apprentices and even directly splitting the atlas into different categories for sale.

By the time these handicraft products had become popular and mature, Liu He had already made a lot of money. Moreover, by that time, the commodities under his rule were prosperous, and he would have a huge income just by collecting taxes.

As for the bird domestication manual, Liu He gave it to the three Flying Eagle Guards who had been hiding by his side, and asked them to give it to the You brothers who were carrying out various tasks outside.

"To gain points right now, besides improving attributes, I have to rely on repeatedly completing wasteland reclamation missions. The wasteland that can be reclaimed in the territory I already control is limited, and I can't gain many points. It seems that it is time to send troops to the north. Only by taking back more land occupied by foreign races can we have a chance to gain more points."

Liu He now has the people and generals he needs, and his military strength is strong enough to handle the situation by sitting in a state. However, if he wants to further enhance his strength, relying solely on increasing the number of people will not be effective, and he must continue to improve the types of troops and equipment.

But all these cost money. Not to mention anything else, the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry, the Golden Sword Battalion, and the Han Wu Soldiers, which add up to only 28,000 people, cost more military funds than the 70,000 to 80,000 infantry of other official troops. Liu He is now struggling to hold on. If he doesn't make more money and produce more grain, he will not be able to hold on sooner or later.

"Northern Expedition, complete missions, make money, and strengthen the army!"

At this time, the Xianbei Huns were already seen by Liu He as piles of gold, silver, treasures and food. The day when he received all these "money and food" in his hands would be the day when he would truly shine on the land of the Han Dynasty and become a world-famous power!
