Lu Dynasty

Chapter 472 Lost
After Zuo Ci knew how to make gunpowder, he stayed under my command without hesitation. Since Zuo Ci stayed, the old Yu Ji also took advantage of the trend. He even asked me to find Nanhua, Zuo Ci He and Yu Ji almost made Nanhua into a fairy who could go to heaven and earth!For Zuo Ci and the others, I specially opened a Taoist temple outside the city and named it Langya Palace, and asked Zuo Ci and Yu Ji to set up the Dahan Taoist Association. Only those who have passed the certification of the association can become Taoist priests, and even if they become Taoist priests, they have no privileges !
As for the daily management of Langya Palace, Zuo Ci and Yu Ji's disciples will be handed over to them. Zuo Ci and Yu Ji themselves have no time to take care of it.Zuo Ci opened an independent small house in the Ministry of Industry to study the ratio of gunpowder manufacturing. I also told him what I knew about mononitrate, disulfide and tricharcoal.Ever since Zuo Ci entered the Ministry of Industry’s Wubao, which was specially used for research, to study the ratio of gunpowder, Liu Ye complained to me many times because of his messy explosions.It is said that the officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry heard the thunder and drought in Wubao every day, and they were a little terrified.I had no choice but to order Zuo Ci to be restrained, but he didn't even bother me, which made me very depressed.I also know that gunpowder is like that, if it is silent, can it still be called gunpowder?However, I am very fortunate that the people in the long-term engineering department got used to it after a while.

This dude Yu Ji has a better future than Zuo Ci. He is a chemist and a part-time doctor. He has extraordinary attainments in both chemistry and medicine, but he likes to play tricks!At the beginning, I asked Yu Ji to help me in the medical school, but Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo were not happy. They said that Yu Ji was a witch doctor, and serious doctors would never associate with him!However, after they got along for a while, Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo accepted Yu Ji. Their only dissatisfaction with Ji was that he always liked to melt traditional Chinese medicine into talisman water!In fact, this is not Yu Ji's intention, it's just a matter of habit, he often makes the medicine into talisman water habitually after preparing the medicine!
Zuo Ci and Yu Ji are very happy to be recognized by me. I not only let their abilities have a place to play, but also made Langya Palace a place similar to an institution. They can be regarded as officials!Originally, Yu Ji and Zuo Ci just wanted to promote their own Taoism, but I said they were narrow-minded.Chinese people often like to be restricted to one family and one faction. Now that I have my support, Zuo Ci and Yu Ji should hurry up and expand Chinese Taoism to a large scale. If Hu people’s Buddhism invades the Central Plains in the future, Taoism will also be able to form a strong resistance. Save money At that time, Taoism will be suppressed by Buddhism, causing the servility of Buddhism to cover up the bloodiness of the Han people.In this way, Yu Ji and Zuo Ci's work began to get busy. As for me, I was free after arranging other people's work!
Liu Bei should have waited for Yuan Shao's defeat before going to Jingzhou, but now he has arrived in Jingzhou five years earlier than in history.Liu Bei got the support of many Jingzhou local officials in Jingzhou. He is similar to Liu Biao back then. Liu Biao got the help of Jingzhou family only when he entered Jingzhou alone, because even if Liu Biao becomes Jingzhou shepherd, he still needs the support of Jingzhou family to manage Jingzhou!Now the generals around Liu Bei are no more than Sha Moke, Wei Yan, and Chen Dao, and the advisers are no more than Jian Yong and Sun Qian. There should be another Mi Zhu, but unfortunately I laughed at it. best candidate.

Although Liu Bei was favored and recognized by many local officials in Jingzhou, the largest families in Jingzhou did not express their views, and there were even those who opposed Liu Bei, such as Cai Mao's Cai family!Cai Mao has always been at odds with Liu Bei, because Cai Mao also wants to control Jingzhou.If Liu Cong succeeds Jingzhou Mu, Cai Mao can control Jingzhou in the same way that General He Jin controlled the court.At that time, whether it is self-protection or self-reliance, it will depend on Cai Mao's mood, but Cai Mao's wishful thinking was completely disrupted by Liu Bei!
Before Liu Bei came to Jingzhou, Liu Biao was already confused by Mrs. Cai and wanted to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, but Liu Biao changed his mind as soon as Liu Bei came.Later, Liu Bei even helped Liu Biao make up his mind, and wanted to get rid of Cai Mao and make Liu Qi his son. How could Cai Mao not hate Liu Bei.It's also thanks to Cai Mao being an idiot, otherwise Liu Bei would have finished playing.In this way, Liu Bei was also in distress several times.However, lucky Liu Bei met Sima Hui, Mr. Shui Jing, when he was in distress.

Sima Hui is an outstanding man with underappreciated talents, and his loyalty to the Han Dynasty is beyond doubt.Knowing that Liu Bei was in trouble, Sima Hui immediately analyzed to Liu Bei that the reason for his old trouble was the lack of counselors.He also told Liu Bei that Wolong and Fengchu would be safe for the world. At the same time, Sima Hui also wanted to arrange for Xu Shu to work under Liu Bei!

Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi have already made an appointment with me, and his mother is still in my hands, how could he agree to join Liu Bei's camp.Sima Hui told Xu Shu that I was a traitor who didn't respect the Han family, and hoped that Xu Shu would come out and be my enemy with the Han world in mind.Facing the master Sima Hui, Xu Shu was very hesitant when he thought about how I treated him well.Sima Hui saw that Xu Shu was struggling, so he asked him to write a letter telling me that he wanted to serve Liu Bei and asked me to send his mother to Jingzhou. Sima Hui said that in this way, he could test whether I was a modest gentleman or a sinister villain.

Sima Hui's idea is really bad, as long as this letter reaches me, whether I send it back to Xu Shu's mother or not, it will be very beneficial to Liu Bei!With this letter, the original brotherhood between Xu Shu and I will be separated. If I return Xu's mother, Xu Shu will no longer be able to hold it in my hands, and even Xu's mother may become Liu Bei's weight to win over Xu Shu. .If I don't send Mother Xu back, even if Xu Shu comes to join me, he will have a big opinion on me. Even if I get a great talent who refuses to do his best, the threat to Liu Bei will be minimized!Xu Shuming knew Sima Hui's plan but was very helpless, after all Sima Hui was his master!However, he also wanted to see if I was the kind of villain who would repay his kindness, so he wrote a letter to me according to Sima Hui's wishes.

I was very happy to receive Xu Shu's letter in Luoyang.But after reading Xu Shu's letter, I felt a sense of loss in my heart!The little brother who used to be called a brother has finally achieved something in his studies, but he is unwilling to help me, and he is not even willing to see me. This is really unacceptable to me.Since Xu Shu asked me for my mother, I naturally couldn't take Xu's mother as a hostage. I decided to send Xu's mother to Jingzhou to reunite with Xu Shu. This would not only fulfill my brotherhood with Xu Shu, but also save Xu's mother's life!Because if I use Xu's mother to blackmail Xu Shu, Xu's mother will commit suicide like in history. How can I see a mother who understands righteousness die in front of me!
