The big man has a living father

Chapter 171 (Big Chapter) Fenglangjuxu
Shuo refers to the first day of the first lunar month, the day when no moonlight can be seen on Earth.

Because the first day of a month is the new moon, Shuo also means the beginning. For example, the year before Yuanshou was called Yuan Shuo. This Yuan Shuo does not mean Yuanbei, but means beginning.

This was originally the beginning of Emperor Wu of Han driving the state machine to realize his own ambitions.

However, it was interrupted by the appearance of Huo Hai.

Last year, the five counties of Yunzhong were re-established, including Shuofang County.

The word "Shuo" means north. Because the sun and the moon are together in the northern sky, the moon cannot be seen, so Shuo is also north.

Shuofang County and Wuyuan County belonged to the Shuozhou Provincial Administration.

At this time, Emperor Wu hoped that this would be the beginning of the Han Dynasty's subjugation of the Huns.

So the word has a double meaning, meaning both a new county and the first county.

This is just the beginning, and it will definitely not be the last new county.

Of course, in history, with the death of Huo Qubing and later the death of Wei Qing, the Han Dynasty suffered successive defeats in wars against the Huns, and there was no second Shuozhou.

But no one expected that Shuozhou would become the beginning of navigation.

In the past, the Han Dynasty only explored the north, northwest, and southwest. Now, the Han Dynasty is going to start exploring the ocean.

As for Wuyuan, it is actually far away from Shuofang County and should not be named after it. However, Shuozhou is like a woman. If you don't cross the river directly in winter, Huaishuo is not connected to Wuyuan at all, but to Shuofang.

So, it's like a woman is pregnant with a child, called Huaishuo.

Historically, Huaishuo was 30 kilometers further north, but now, Baotou’s location has become the location of Huaishuo County arranged by Huo Hai.

A chair was placed on the hill, with a sheepskin covering it.

Logically, this direction faces away from the grassland, and a commander like Huo Hai should not come here.

But now, there are no enemies in the entire grassland.

The Xiongnu Youguli King was not stupid, so why would he come to provoke? The news that Huo Hai's 1,000 men beheaded 4,000 people and captured 40,000 people in seven days had spread all over the grassland.

At this moment, in front of Huo Hai was the Hetao Plain.

Logically, the place in front of us is Baotou in later generations.

But Huo Hai is doing something. Huo Hai is digging an artificial lake here.

Twenty thousand workers dug here.

This is prime land and logically should not be used to build a lake, but now is the time to change it. If we don't, we will be doomed in the future.

The area several hundred kilometers north of Baotou cannot accommodate many people. The upper limit for this place is two to three million people.

However, if a huge artificial lake is built in the northwest of this plain, labor-intensive industries are developed on the northern bank of the Hetao Plain, and animal husbandry is developed in the north of the mountains, this place may have the potential to have a population of more than four million.

Perhaps this seemed useless in the previous life.

But this is in Dahan, with a population of over one million, which is one of the world's top metropolises. The extra ones are redundant designs.

At this time, an old man was chasing a teenager on the excavated shore.

The boy jogged, and the old man said, "Hey! Slow down, slow down, don't fall!"

Huo Hai was a little curious when he saw that the young man was wearing the most popular clothes in Chang'an.

The reason why it is the most popular nowadays is that when Huo Hai left Chang'an, Chang'an did not sell this kind of new style of clothes. Now it is the latest style.

The old man looked plainly dressed, but he looked familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere.

Huo Hai asked Luo Xiahong beside him: "Do you know him?"

Luo Xiahong: "That must be Zhuang Xiongpi's apprentice."

Huo Hai: "Are you talking about the young man or the old man?"

Luo Xiahong: "That old man, there aren't many people in the country who know about water conservancy. A lot of them have come to Chang'an, so they naturally want to learn new knowledge. He came to assist in the construction of Huaishuo Reservoir."

Huo Hai became interested. Why was an old man from Chang'an, who worked in the research institute, following behind a young boy, as if he was... doing odd jobs?

"Call him over and ask him."

After a while, Luo Xiahong's people came over to invite someone. Huo Hai saw from a distance that the young man was a little excited and was running towards him.

Huo Hai yawned in the sun and took out a piece of pork jerky to eat.

Soon the young man came closer and asked excitedly: "Are you Huo Hai?"

The imperial guards beside Huo Hai shouted, "How dare you!"

I don’t know if it was taught by Lu Bode, but all the Yulin Guards like to do this.

Huo Hai waved his hand and looked at the boy.

The young man continued excitedly: "You are Huo Hai, the smartest person in the world!"

Huo Hai: "Oh? I am Huo Hai, but I am not the smartest person in the world."

As he spoke, Huo Hai brushed the dust off his legs.

The boy: "No, you are the smartest person in the world, and I..." The boy pointed his thumb at his chest: "I am the second smartest person in the world."

Huo Hai laughed and looked at the old man who was running over breathlessly: "Are you here for the Huaishuo Reservoir project?"

The old man nodded: "My name is Zhou Bengen, Vice President!"

Huo Hai: "Since you are here for the Huaishuo Reservoir project, why are you serving a child?"

Zhou Bengen scratched his head and said, "Vice President, this guy is really smart. I studied water conservancy and calligraphy in Chang'an, and then I taught hundreds of apprentices, but none of them could catch up with him."

Huh? Is that so exaggerated?
Huo Hai looked at the boy: "Zhou Bengen also said that you are smart. Is he your teacher?"

The boy patted his chest and said, "He can't be my teacher. Only you can be my teacher."

Huo Hai laughed: "Oh?"

The boy was very proud: "Because you are the smartest person in the world, and I am the second smartest person in the world, so only you can teach me."

Huo Hai leaned back in his chair and said, "You are wrong. First of all, I have to correct you. Smart is used to describe children. If you use it to describe adults, it is an insult."

Huo Hai: "In fact, even heroes are too numerous to count."

"And heroes are much rarer than smart people."

"What the world lacks most is smart people, what it lacks is..."

Huo Hai pointed to his temple and said, "It's wisdom."

"Although Zhou Bengen may not be as smart as you, he is wiser than you. Therefore, it is the right way for you to learn from him. If you learn from me, you will not get any good results."

How do you learn what you were born with? Are you a time traveler too?

Seeing that Zhou Bengen liked this student so much, Huo Hai also wanted to teach him not to be too ambitious.

The boy seemed unconvinced.

Huo Hai: "What's your name?"

The young man pointed at his face proudly and said, "My name is Tian Qianqiu, a descendant of Tian Qi. My ancestors moved to Changling."

Oh, as a descendant of aristocracy, smart since childhood, it is normal to be arrogant.

But in his situation, there are only two ways to transform from cleverness to wisdom.

One way is to accumulate knowledge and become a scientist.

One way is to accumulate experience and become a politician.

But this Tian Qianqiu's name sounds familiar.

Soon, Huo Hai remembered who Tian Qianqiu was.

Tian Qianqiu was the person who wrote a letter to expose Jiang's conspiracy after the Witchcraft Case.

As we all know, there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings. There are five of the Four Continents. There are five of the Four Famous Buddhist Mountains. So, the Four Ministers
There are five.

Why? Because Tian Qianqiu, the prime minister during the late reign of Emperor Wu, had been the prime minister during the reign of Emperor Zhao of Han, Liu Fuling.

Moreover, Liu Fuling was an open minister, not just a symbolic one.

Then why did Huo Guang deal with the other three ministers but never had any conflict with Tian Qianqiu?

Huo Hai watched the short video and analyzed it, and there are three reasons.

First, the two complement each other. Tian Qianqiu is the head of all officials and Huo Guang is the one who holds military power. In this era, civil and military affairs are inseparable, so Huo Guang's position is half a level higher than Tian Qianqiu's. Therefore, Huo Guang respects Tian Qianqiu, and Tian Qianqiu follows Huo Guang's lead in everything, so there is no contradiction.

Second, we can also see clues from the history books. There is a special record in the history books that Emperor Wu once said to Tian Qianqiu, "When I made a mistake, you corrected me. It seems that you were sent by Emperor Gao to assist me!"

This record is bullshit. First of all, it is impossible for Liu Che to admit his mistakes and he never did. There is no word "guilt" in the Luntai Edict of Criticism. He never thought that he was wrong, so it is even more impossible for him to ask Tian Qianqiu to correct him.

So what is the story about? Of course, it was written at the behest of Huo Guang.

What do you mean?
What it means is, "If you assisted the previous emperor, you cannot assist the new emperor!" It's the same as "If you beat him, you cannot beat me."

To give you face, I say that you were the minister of the previous emperor. In that case, you can only be a veteran of two dynasties, but not the minister of the new emperor.

To put it bluntly, from the very beginning, Tian Qianqiu was placed on a high pedestal by Huo Guang, which resulted in a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality, causing him to lose his power.

Third, Tian Qianqiu is a descendant of the nobility, and he needs glory to empower himself.

In the end, Tian Qianqiu was Marquis Fumin and Prime Minister Che, and because he obtained the qualification to enter the palace through Che, even his descendants all had the surname Che. Yes, he was the ancestor of the surname Che. Except for the person who inherited the title who needed to be called Tian XX, all other descendants changed their surnames to Che and became the founders of a family tree.

From a historical perspective, Tian Qianqiu later followed the same path as Huo Guang, but he was more thorough than Huo Guang.

Huo Guang did not make a wrong step for decades and made many contributions.

Tian Qianqiu didn't make a wrong step in decades, but he has no credit.

Why didn’t he have any credit? Of course, he didn’t steal the show from Huo Guang.

A golden combination of white and black. Take the white pills during the day and you won’t feel sleepy, and take the black pills at night and you will sleep soundly.

Of course, in history, Tian Qianqiu is not completely without any contributions to be written about. His contributions are all like those that are just like those done by a nobody. It seems that someone else can do it, but in fact, they will definitely fail if someone else does it.

For example, the Salt and Iron Conference.

This person is not one of the four great ministers, but his rank is lower than Huo Guang, and higher than Jin Midi, Sang Hongyang, and Shangguan Jie.

Not ordinary high.

Before Emperor Liu Che's death, Huo Guang had never shown his talent, and his ministers thought that Huo Guang was neither talented in literature nor in martial arts.

But Tian Qianqiu suddenly discovered it the moment Liu Che died.

If I fight with Huo Guang, I will die miserably.

So, Huo Guang invited Tian Qianqiu to govern together, but Tian Qianqiu directly refused.

The other three stubborn ones are far less intelligent than him.

Huo Hai now finally remembered who Tian Qianqiu was.

However, the Tian Qianqiu in history, who had lost all his brilliance and showed no ability at all, and the proud young man in front of him seemed to be two completely different people.

Huo Hai could only shake his head. This is politics.

If possible, people like Tian Qianqiu are actually more suitable to be a technocrat.

Huo Hai: "Tian Qianqiu, right? How long have you been studying water conservancy with Zhou Bengen?"

Tian Qianqiu tilted his head and said, "I haven't learned from him. I just looked at the textbook and roughly understood it."

Huo Hai smiled: "Oh? Then tell me why I want to dig such a large artificial lake here?"

Tian Qianqiu: "That's of course because you suffered a great loss in the ancient canal project... woo woo woo..."

Before Tian Qianqiu could finish his words, Zhou Bengen covered his mouth with his hand.

Zhou Bengen smiled apologetically: "Vice President, don't bother with this kid. He doesn't have a good brain."

Huo Hai laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, ask him to tell me what kind of loss I've suffered."

Zhou Bengen could only release his hand that was covering Tian Qianqiu's mouth.

Tian Qianqiu: "I know that when you changed the course of the Wei River, you shocked a lot of people. Even in the Central Plains, many uneducated people regarded you as the real Dragon King. Little did they know that the Dragon King's book was also written by you."

"But you made three big mistakes in your water conservancy project."

"Three."

Huo Hai: "Oh? Go ahead."

Tian Qianqiu: "To talk about the mistakes you made, we must first talk about your strengths."

"First, you discovered that domestic sewage brine would pollute groundwater sources and contaminate wells, so you designed a sewer system and used it on a large scale in the new city. At the same time, you also encouraged residents to build sewers during the renovation of the old city of Chang'an County."

"Also, your level of canal construction is extremely high. It's not about the difficulty, but that you used the old river channel to build a new canal. Not only did you not invest any money, but you also made a fortune from the sand... No, not just a fortune, but continuous profit. It will take hundreds of years to dig out all the river sand."

Huo Hai smiled and shook his head after hearing this.

From the current perspective, it can indeed be mined for decades, but in the long run, it will be used up in a few years at most.

Tian Qianqiu: "You also designed a reinforced concrete bridge. I saw a lot of small ideas and structures in it. It is definitely difficult for a mediocre person like Zhuang Xiongpi to think of it."

Huo Hai laughed: "Zhuang Xiongpi, the director of the Institute of Water Conservancy of the Institute, you call him a mediocre person?"

Tian Qianqiu: "Of course, next I'm going to talk about something you haven't considered."

"You considered using the Dujiangyan 4:6 water diversion system and the fish mouth diversion system to divide the Fenghe River and allow water to flow into the canal, which would satisfy both shipping and drinking water needs. However, you did not consider that the water supply would be insufficient after the population of the new city exploded! That's why we have the Kunming Lake now."

"Although you considered shipping, you didn't consider that in the future when ships become larger, the Wei River will not be usable, so we have the Huaishuo Shipyard now."

"They didn't take into account that the Wei River has too many bends, so we have the current canal."

"Chang'an doesn't have enough water. Huaishuo will need a lot of water to develop in the future, but the water from the Yellow River is not the first choice for drinking, so you want to build an artificial lake to store water. Just like the Kunming Lake dug in Chang'an last year."

What Tian Qianqiu said was true.

Last year, when the construction of the new city began, there was no need for residents to use water. The water needed for construction alone made the ancient canal stretched to its limit.

Liu Che discovered this problem before Huo Hai, so he built a huge artificial lake to the east of Fengshui.

"Kun" means many and "Ming" means obvious. Kunming Lake is a reservoir used to supply water to the people of Chang'an.

This is how the name Kunming came about in history. Later, due to the coincidence of geographical location, it became the name of the city. After all, Kunming Lake happens to be located in the southwest of Chang'an.

This Kunming Lake is different from the one in history. The one in history was a dry water storage, but the current one has a sluice gate.

Stop storing water during the day and partially divert water at night.

This way, water from times when water is used less is saved.

The Kunming Lake was sent to Ling County in the west of Chang'an, Chang'an city, Wan'an County in Chang'an County, and the east of the city through four canals.

In this way, the new city uses canal water, and the old city uses reservoir water. Although this is different from history, it does exist in history. Huo Hai is not so familiar with the history of the Han Dynasty, so he didn't know about it.

So he didn't consider this when designing the water conservancy project.

It was indeed because of this lesson that the first thing Huo Hai did in Huaishuo was to build a super artificial lake.

Of course, the main reason is that the money for building the city was provided by the Xiongnu Company, so it would be a waste if not used!
Tian Qianqiu was sure that his analysis was correct.

Huo Hai smiled and said, "In a sense, you are right."

"In a sense, you're totally wrong."

“Even if I knew there was a drinking water leak, I would not have chosen to build the Kunming Lake.”

Tian Qianqiu was puzzled: "How is it possible? With your intelligence, you just don't know about this loophole. Because you have too many things to do, you don't have time to study it in depth, so you are very brilliant in big projects, but problems appear in small places. You absolutely can't leave this loophole alone."

Huo Hai: “No, I will.”

Tian Qianqiu didn't believe it.

Huo Hai: "Because I had no money at that time."

"Do you think that if I design a plan, I will definitely build it? You are overthinking."

If this is true, Huo Hai would have built a hydroelectric power station long ago. Would something like an electric motor still need to be researched by others?

Why didn’t they repair it? Because they had no money!

Because other industries cannot use these technologies, if we have to rely purely on the internal projects of hydropower stations and power systems to support the construction of hydropower stations, to support the production of light bulbs, etc., it will burn all the money of the entire Han Dynasty!

Huo Hai: "Perhaps in your opinion, a perfect project is 100%. Ordinary people can achieve 60%, and you can achieve 80% to 90%. Do you think that as long as I put in the effort, I can achieve 100%?"

"The real world is not like this. In the real world, many things are designed to be 90% perfect, or even 100%, or even more perfect than you imagine."

"But the reality is that I don't just have one project, I have one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand projects. If I do one hundred percent on this project, then the other project is zero percent. If I only need 60 percent, then I can do that project."

That's politics, kid.

Desires are endless, but resources are limited.

Even if we use all resources to do things that are beneficial to development, it is impossible to invest 100%!

Besides, is it possible for all the people of a certain era to only pursue development without doing anything to improve their own welfare? What kind of great goal would be needed to convince so many people to do this?

It’s like, to build a multinational company worth hundreds of billions, you can convince the founding team not to take salaries at the beginning, because they are working hard for a small amount of shares to be worth billions in a few decades.

But if you start a company with a scale of six million, how can you convince the founding team of twenty people to not take any salary?

This is called politics.

Huo Hai explained this principle carefully to Tian Qianqiu.

Huo Hai wanted to see how Tian Qianqiu, who had not yet set foot in this field, would react after hearing this.

Should he lose interest in water conservancy and focus on politics, or should he continue to delve into water conservancy?

If he chooses the former, and is well trained, he could become a governor of North Africa or something in the future if he cannot become the governor of Africa.

If he chooses the latter, Huo Hai doesn’t know what achievements he will make in the future.

Tian Qianqiu fell into deep thought.

Every smart person who has a superior background is always prone to develop a compulsive perfectionist personality.

Now Tian Qianqiu understands one thing.

Even if you design a stunning water conservancy project, the quality of its final construction will definitely be compromised.

But...if I can convince others to follow me to complete this astonishing water conservancy project, wouldn't I look even more powerful?

Seeing that he hadn't figured out a solution, Huo Hai asked, "What do you think of Sanmenxia?"

Tian Qianqiu shook his head: "I have asked a hundred people from Luoyang, and they said that Sanmenxia is a place that cannot be navigated."

"After careful inquiry, I think there are three possibilities."

"First, send people to clear the river channel at the edge of Sanmenxia. It is barely possible to cross it by human pulling, but forget about sailing ships. Even the steam ships we have now cannot cross it."

"Secondly, when the goods are shipped to the upper reaches of the river, they are transferred to trains or ordinary vehicles and sent to the lower reaches of Sanmenxia before being loaded onto ships."

"Third, go around from the north via the Fen River and other water networks."

All three are bullshit.

The first method has too little capacity.

The second method of transshipment is too troublesome. In this case, it is better to transport the entire journey by train, unless the distance is extremely far.

Third, the water network in the north takes too long to get there. It would normally take one month to get to Chang'an, but if you go all the way north, it will take eight months to get there.

Moreover, it takes eight months for the goods to go to the north, and whether 30% of the goods can be left when they return depends on the strong background of the cargo owner.

The more places you travel and the farther you go, the more likely you are to suffer huge losses.

In addition to transportation losses, transportation personnel salaries and food losses, there are also various legal and illegal tolls that are bound to exist.

Half of the history of our country is about Sanmenxia, ​​this is no joke.

If the Yellow River did not have Sanmenxia and was as unobstructed as the Yangtze River, the speed of development of the entire country's military power should be many times higher than in history.

But...if that were the case, then unification would not be the mainstream in the world.

Huo Hai also knew that although Tian Qianqiu was smart, it was impossible for him to have any constructive suggestions for something that countless people in history had tried their best to solve but failed.

But Huo Hai still wanted to ask.

What if.

The reason for asking this question is that it is a very realistic question.

Because many sections of the Yellow River are not navigable, such as the Hukou Waterfall, how to cross it? Fly?
If ships really want to pass through, canals must be built throughout the north.

However, building this canal can easily waste manpower and material resources.

The only navigable sections of the entire Yellow River are basically ships of around 300 tons.

As for steam-powered ships, the most primitive model in history was only one hundred tons, and the second real steam-powered ship was four hundred tons.

This thing really seems to be tailor-made for the Yangtze River!

Giant ships weighing tens of thousands of tons can sail freely along the entire Yangtze River.

Or, there is another way.

Develop steamships first and only make super-large ships.

Take sea transport first.

Then the North vigorously developed railway transportation, and after the invention of the internal combustion engine, it launched small internal combustion engine ships.

In this way, the transportation efficiency of the northern canal network can be improved.

Huo Hai sighed.

Tian Qianqiu: "What are you thinking about?"

Huo Hai: "I was thinking about the sea. Sailing on the sea is easy, but being able to sail on a big river, such as the Wei River, is a real skill."

"Since these rivers cannot be used, we can only design water conservancy projects like crazy."

Unfortunately, these water conservancy projects are only for civilian use, and ultimately the entire northern country still has to rely on a railway network to connect them.

Turning around, Huo Hai slapped his forehead.

Shipping is indeed cheap, but only after there is a population can the transportation volume be required.

When Huo Hai used to watch short videos, he always saw something like "half of the national history is about Sanmenxia", but now he is also confused about this.

But unlike others, they really have no solution at all.

But Huo Hai was greedy. He had trains that could cover this problem, but he wanted cheaper shipping.

How can there be such a good thing in the world that you can take all the benefits?

What Huo Hai said gave Tian Qianqiu some new insights.

“I still want to work in water conservancy.”

Huo Hai: “Oh?”

Tian Qianqiu: "I want to create a water conservancy project that will shock anyone who sees it, and I will work hard in this direction."

"If it doesn't work then... then I will pursue becoming an official. By then, at least I will know a lot about water conservancy and I will be able to allocate resources more effectively, and I won't run into the same problem you ran into with Kunming Lake."

Huo Hai nodded: "That's very wise."

Huo Hai stood up and said, "In fact, the canal and the shipyard are integrated."

The canal being built now is not the one in history, but a canal with the same name but much wider and deeper.

Even the consumption is greater than in history.

Huo Hai didn't know how much manpower and material resources had been spent in history, but Liu Che was prepared to invest 8 billion in this canal.

According to the current wage rates, the Chang'an section requires a salary of three thousand, and the downstream section requires a salary of twelve hundred, which can pay the annual salary of four hundred thousand people!

This is money for work, not the kind of labor service for which you would be paid for doing lazy work for 400,000 yuan.

These 400,000 people were paid to work, using the best tools, and their efficiency was at least five to eight times that of the 400,000 people doing corvée labor.

Huo Hai only hopes that navigation will be open by the end of the year.

Because the Wei River is simply not suitable for steamships to pass through.

The water system of the upper reaches of the Yellow River to the east can bypass some places. If the canal is open, we can make a steamship in the autumn and sail it to Chang'an before the end of the year.

To be honest, the first generation of 100-ton steamships didn't cost much at all; the expensive part was the steam engine.

The steam engine cannot be said to be mature at present, but it does not need to be specially developed, so it does not take much time to assemble a working steamship.

It takes a lot of effort to adapt the steam engine to the ship.

But...that's a matter for a 10,000-ton ship.

The key now is to dig the canal so that things can be sent to Tongguan.

Only if we can send goods to Tongguan can we build a railway.

Only by building a railway can the Sanmenxia section be truly connected and the Anshen Railway be built. It is a chain of links.

Huo Hai looked at the distance and saw Princess Wei Chang riding over on horseback. Huo Hai smiled and prepared to leave, while giving a final reminder: "Tian Qianqiu, you may be smarter than Zhou Bengen, but he is wiser than you. If you want to achieve something in water conservancy, you should learn from him, and then learn from Zhuang Xiongpi."

Tian Qianqiu still didn't think he needed to learn from Zhou Bengen.

Huo Hai: "Have you ever thought that in your imagination, I suffered a great loss because I didn't build the Kunming Lake because I didn't understand water conservancy."

"Although this is not the case in this specific case, your assumption is correct."

"Since I can suffer losses due to my lack of knowledge about water conservancy, and you think you are not as smart as me, will you suffer great losses due to your lack of knowledge about water conservancy?"

"If I suffer a loss, His Majesty will cover it for me. He has countless money to cover it for me. If you make a mistake, what will cover it for you?"

Tian Qianqiu: "So, I want..."

Huo Hai: "Don't learn to fly before you learn to run. If you are a bird, then of course you only need to fly, but do you think you are?"

Tian Qianqiu: "Can't it be?"

Huo Hai: “Is it important?”

People like Tian Qianqiu are too proud, so they get stuck in a rut.

Huo Hai needs to enter the field where he is good at and subdue him with his own methods: "Because I am a bird, I don't think you are. You have to learn to run first, then you can learn to fly, and then you have a chance to beat me."

At this time, Princess Wei Chang had already arrived on horseback. Huo Hai looked at Tian Qianqiu, then at Luo Xiahong: "By the way, if you stubbornly believe that I am the smartest person in the world and you are the second, then at least... he is smarter than you."

Tian Qianqiu turned and looked at Luo Xiahong.

Luo Xiahong watched Huo Hai jump onto the horse and run away with Princess Wei Chang followed by the guards, and stayed where he was.

You can run away if you want, but what's the point of causing trouble for me? I'm not taking care of the child!

Tian Qianqiu: "I heard you are very smart?"

Luo Xiahong: "I didn't, I didn't, you heard it wrong."

……

Princess Wei Chang asked, "Who is that child? How did he get here?"

Huo Hai: "I am a descendant of a powerful family in Changling, a water conservancy intern, and I am here to work."

Princess Wei Chang looked into the distance: "When are we going back?"

Huo Hai: “It depends.”

Huo Hai actually wanted to go back quickly.

However, Huo Hai didn't want to leave until the prototype of the steamship was ready.

It is not difficult to go from 1 to 10000, but it is very difficult to go from 0 to 1.

This is related to whether we can reach North America and whether we can dominate the world from the sea. This is very important to the Han Dynasty.

The two were galloping on the grassland when they saw a rider holding a flag and running wildly in the distance.

"East? Battle report?"

The lone rider was originally going to cross the river to Wuyuan, but when he saw the princess coming, he realized that Huo Hai was there, so he came running towards her.

"Great victory! The General of the Cavalry defeated most of the Zuo Xian King's army! The Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony was held at Mount Langjuxu!"

In this battle, 42,110 people were beheaded, 210,000 captured, and more than 300 people were injured or killed. "

Although Huo Hai repeatedly warned and instructed to keep as many Huns as possible as they needed people to graze, Huo Qubing directly encountered the army of Zuo Xian Wang, so how could he care about these things?

On the contrary, they killed fewer enemies because they killed them too quickly with guns, which led to the rapid collapse of the Hun army. Otherwise, they might have killed more enemies than in history!
In history, after Huo Qubing conquered the Wolf's Lair, he went for a tour of Lake Baikal, destroyed a few small tribes, and then had to go back.

But this time... Fenglangjuxu is just the beginning.

Huo Hai: "Too fast! Pass my order to the railway to speed up the transportation of materials! The newly built beef factory in Huaishuo will immediately start producing canned beef and cowhide armaments!"

Huo Hai was a little caught off guard.

Huo Hai had never expected that this time, when his elder brother took action, he would achieve the peak of his historical record!

No way...the Chanyu didn’t run away, right?
No, that won’t work. If the Chanyu doesn’t run away, what should we do next?
----

Asking for a monthly ticket!
