Back to the Three Kingdoms and become a python

"Now that Yuan Shao is in Nanyang, Liu Biao and Sun Jian are confronting each other in Xiangyang. The vanguard of the barbarians is nothing more than Liu Biao and Sun Jian. As far as Yuan Benchu ​​is concerned, there is no personal pain. Yuan Shao's advisers may suggest alliances, but Yuan Shao probably will not Doing this, from my own perspective, this guy should be looking forward to being handsome and attacking Xiangyang, and then he will see if he can find a bargain, United? Hmph."

When Zhen Ping heard Lin Bei's analysis, he could only smile wryly, because Lin Bei had indeed hit the mark.

Sun Jian and Liu Biao are of course the first to bear the brunt of the Manshuai attacking Jingzhou, but Yuan Shao is not Chi Yu?Through Zhen's firm, Yuan Shao had already received the news. Zhen Ping knew that Yuan Shao's advisers, such as Jushou Tianfeng, Xu You and others, were all fighting together, planning to cooperate with Liu Biao to attack the handsome Yellow Turban Army, but Yuan Shao But this person was determined to go his own way, and was not prepared to join forces with Liu Biao to resist the barbarian army.

According to Yuan Shao's counselors, Man Shuai has just entered the Central Plains, and his foundation is still uncertain. Although he has an army of more than [-], this is the time when Man Shuai is at his weakest, and it is also the best time to stop Man Shuai. If he joins forces with Liu Biao, Letting Liu Biao summon Jingzhou's army, it can be said that the right time, place and people are all occupied, and there will be a great chance to defeat the barbarian army. Unfortunately, Yuan Shao is afraid, and he doesn't want to fight head-on with the man. The counselor was a little disappointed.

Zhen Ping was also a little disappointed with this Yuan Shao. Now Yuan Shao's strength has skyrocketed with the support of the Zhen family. He has more than [-] troops under him. He really has a good chance of defeating the barbarian army. However, Yuan Shao doesn't want to do this, because this matter, Zhen Ping more and more recognized Lin Bei's evaluation of Yuan Shao. Not only did this man have flaws in character, he also had bad eyesight. He couldn't see the danger of the barbarian army entering the Central Plains at all.

Seeing Zhen Ping's wry smile, Lin Bei's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong? Did I hit the mark?"

Zhen Ping nodded and sighed: "Your Excellency really knows Yuan Shao very well. Although Yuan Shao is now stationed in Nanyang, he is actually ready to station in Yuzhou at any time."

"It means that after the battle between the barbarian army and Liu Biao and Sun Jian, Yuan Shao will step forward to take advantage if the force is evenly matched. If the barbarian army is strong, Yuan Shao will retreat and not confront the barbarian army?"

"Ah."

"It's normal, Yuan Shao wants to preserve his strength."

"But my lord, once the barbarian army establishes a foothold in Jingzhou, who else can control it? Why can even a villain see this, but Yuan Benchu ​​can't?"

Lin Bei laughed loudly, "So shopkeeper Zhen is stronger than that Yuan Shao, I suggest shopkeeper Zhen, you stop being the shopkeeper, go to Nanyang and cut off Yuan Benchu's head, and become the master yourself."

"My lord was joking." Zhen Ping could only smile wryly again.

The joke is over.Lin Beidao: "After the barbarian army enters the Central Plains, it will definitely become powerful, just like the South Vietnam border, but it is too much to say that no one can control it. There are still some talents in the Central Plains. Do you know Liu Bei?"

"Liu Bei?" Zhen Ping thought for a while.Shaking his head very blankly: "The villain doesn't know."

It seems that Liu Bei is still struggling, "What about Cao Mengde?"

"Naturally, the villain knows, but this General Cao is the defeat of Man Shuai. Does your lord think that this man can control Man Shuai?"

"I don't know if it can be controlled, but he has a great chance. Alas, Zhen Ping, you are the shopkeeper. What are you doing with your care for the country and the people?" Lin Bei asked in surprise.

"Uh. The adults are right, but the villain is indeed a little too worried."

"That's right, earn your money well and you'll get it. By the way, because of the cement, your Zhen family has gained a lot of weight, right?"

"My Zhen family has indeed earned a lot of money, my lord, that cement is really a godsend."

"There are more road builders in the Central Plains now?"

"Well. Roads are being built in many places, and it took only these two months. The roads built in the Central Plains would have amounted to tens of millions of miles. Nowadays, the roads in many big cities are unimpeded. If it weren't for the war, we can expect to prosper."

"There will be more on this road in the future, because the war has just begun."

Zhen Ping remembered Yuan Shao's surprise attack on Yingchuan and Hongnong, and now the three places have indeed paved the way.Realized the intercommunication between the three places, nodded deeply, and then said in shock: "My lord, you asked my Zhen family to sell cement in the Central Plains, didn't you think about it a long time ago?"

Lin Bei nodded: "Yes."

Zhen Ping suddenly beat his chest and stamped his feet: "My lord. The reason why the barbarian army is marching so fast now is because of the cement. My lord, this is indirectly helping the barbarian army."

"Where did I only help the barbarian army? I helped the heroes of the Central Plains. Now that the road is smooth, wouldn't it be more enjoyable to fight? If the heroes of the Central Plains are stronger than the barbarian army, you wouldn't say that Already." Lin Bei laughed.

"Then, my lord, don't you worry that the barbarians will attack Wanghai City?"

Lin Bei laughed again: "Hit me Wanghai? You can ask Man Shuai to see if he dares to come to Wanghai City. It will be fine if I don't beat him."

Now to attack Wanghai City, there is only the sea road and the Changshan Mountains. Needless to say, the sea road is Lin Bei’s home field, and Lin Bei can kill as many people as he comes. If the road is paved from the Changshan Mountains, as long as the road is paved, Wanghai City The tanks and chariots can charge at the enemy with the force of a charge, and they must be crushed, so Wanghai City is as safe as Mount Tai now, only Wanghai City beats others, and no one else hits Wanghai City.

Zhen Ping asked again: "My lord, when the barbarian army enters Jingzhou, I am afraid that it will sweep the world by then. Now the two states of Bingji are also occupied by the Zhang Jiao brothers. The Yellow Turban of the Han Dynasty has occupied three states. The city is safe and secure, if your lord wants to take control of the Central Plains, it may be very difficult."

"My name is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Don't worry, the Yellow Turban Army is not so easy to sweep the world. Although the Barbarian Army is also a Yellow Turban, they don't have to be willing to take over Zhang Jiao. If they meet, they will certainly I'm not in a hurry to fight first."

"It's Zhen Ping who worries too much."

"Well, you think too much. By the way, how long will shopkeeper Zhen stay here when I come to watch the sea this time? My lord has something, and I want to ask shopkeeper Zhen to agree."

Zhen Ping hurriedly said: "My lord orders it."

"Then you go to Nanyue Academy to give a few lectures to the students in the academy?"

"How many lectures?" Zhen Ping was a little stunned: "Master, a villain is not a scholar."

"Of course I know, and I don't want you to talk about reading and literacy, but to talk about your business experience, that is, how your Zhen family makes money and how you operate nearly a hundred commercial firms. Oh, if your Zhen family's secrets are involved, You don’t need to talk about it, but for other things, I hope you can teach me everything.”

"Okay, let's try that villain." Zhen Ping really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

That night, Lin Bei still hosted a banquet in honor of Zhen Ping, and just before the banquet, Mu Mu suddenly begged to see Lin Bei.

"What's the matter?" Lin Bei called Wood up and asked.

The simple and honest Mu Mu didn't say it directly this time, but looked at Zhen Ping first, obviously he didn't want Zhen Ping to know that Zhen Ping was very knowledgeable, so he avoided it.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Lin Bei asked curiously again.

"My lord, Wood is here to report good news to my lord. We have created a steam engine that can draw water from a well."

"A steam engine drawing water from a well? Overturned?"

"No, it's just a steam engine, but it can draw water directly from the well. Mu Mu thinks this kind of steam engine is very important, so he came here to report to your lord."

"Oh, the adults will go and have a look."

Lin Bei notified Zhen Ping first, and then followed Mu Mu to the craftsman's workshop. He saw the steam engine that could draw water from the well. Surprised, because this water pump actually involves the theory of vacuum.

The shape of this water pump is very strange. It is a hollow steel ball. There are several air inlets and outlets on the outside of the steel ball. A valve device is installed. If you want to draw water, first pour a lot of steam into the steel ball, and then close the valve. , pour cold water on the outside of the steel ball, then put the leather tube of the water inlet into the water, open the valve, the water will be sucked into the steel ball automatically, wait until the water is almost sucked, then turn off the valve, and then put the water in pour out.

Others are easy to say, but after the steam is poured in, cold water is poured on the outside of the steel ball, which is to cool the steam inside quickly, and a vacuum will be formed inside the ball, so when the leather tube is put into the water, due to the pressure Because of this, water will be sucked into it.

To be honest, Lin Bei never thought of this kind of situation, because this is already the prototype of the water pump, and Lin Bei doesn't know how to do it. Who knows that the craftsmen actually made it first.

"Wood, did you make this?" Lin Bei asked curiously.

Mu Mu shook his head and pointed to a craftsman beside him: "My lord, he came up with this."

"Villain Zhao Gou, I have met my lord."

"Zhao Gou, yes, why did you think of making this water pump?"

Zhao Gou was also a tall and honest man, and scratched his head when he heard the words: "My lord, my son Zhao Bao is now in the academy. A few days ago, my son said that it is very difficult to carry water with a wooden bucket, so the villain wanted to save my labor." Some, then came up with something, my lord, this steel ball can be placed by the well, and it can be large or small, if it is bigger, it will draw more water, if it is smaller, it will draw less water, but it is a little troublesome to fill the steam. "

See, that's how the water pump was invented, and the reason was simply because a craftsman wanted his son to save effort in carrying water.
