Daqin Engineering Corps

After a while, Mr. Changping said excitedly:

"The general's method is very good, but in this way, I don't know how much labor will be saved for Baiyue."

"The general is truly a genius in this world. He is not only well versed in the art of war but also proficient in farming. I admire you."

Shen Bing just smiled and didn't answer.

This may be a pioneering work in ancient times, but it is a trivial matter in modern times. This is called "jitang agriculture", which can not only save time and effort to increase production, but more importantly, it can also prevent floods... Its ponds are one after another. It's like a layer of dams, which is obviously very suitable for Baiyue at this time.

Xiang Yan asked:

"General."

"If we were to raise silkworms every household, the silk..."

Shen Bing replied without thinking:

"Send it to the Northland as much as possible."

"I will accept as many silkworm cocoons and silk as the order, and the price is fair!"

Of course, silkworm cocoons must be processed into silk.

Although it is possible to travel by water from Baiyue to the North, it almost spans the entire Central Plains from south to north.

The transportation cost is so high that it will definitely not be transported in the cocoon state.

Before Shen Bing finished speaking, Mr. Changping's face blossomed with joy.

Because if we can raise silkworms, grow rice, and raise fish as Shen Bing said, and there is a stable buyer for the silk... wouldn't Baiyue's income double in an instant?

Why is Shen Bing just a savior, and at the same time a parent!

So Lord Changping naturally thanked Shen Bing a thousand times.

But in fact, this is just a win-win situation. Shen Bing did this to solve the problem of silk.

Mr. Changping had just left, and Shen Bing just lay back on the bed and wanted to rest for a while... Although he could sleep in the carriage during this time, he couldn't sleep on the bumpy road, and he could only take a nap when he was really sleepy.

So Shen Bing still felt sleepy at this time.

At this time, Ren reported from outside the door:

"General, General Wang Jian is here!"

Shen Bing got up as soon as he was busy, and replied:

"Come in!"

Wang Jian came before the laughter came.

He pushed open the door and said to Shen Bing:

"How about General Shen not coming?"

"Wang Jian has been paying attention to the war situation in the North, and he is really honored to learn that General Shen has repeatedly defeated the Huns!"

Shen Bing replied:

"The general is polite."

"Shen Bing's achievements today can't compare to the bravery of the Great General!"

Wang Jian just smiled, patted Shen Bing on the shoulder heavily, and said:

"There is no need to be so polite between you and me. Don't we know how much it is?"

Said Wang Jian and Shen Bing looked at each other and smiled.

Indeed, they both knew what the other was capable of.

But there is actually a misunderstanding in this:

Wang Jian thought that Shen Bing was stronger.

Just kidding, being able to successfully destroy Chu and stabilize Baiyue, and at this time manage the Northland well and make fun of the Xiongnu... In Wang Jian's eyes, this is already a rare and rare genius in a hundred years.

But Shen Bing knew that Wang Jian was stronger.

The reason for this misunderstanding is that Wang Jian didn't know that Shen Bing was actually taking advantage of knowledge.

Otherwise, even if there are ten Shen soldiers, they are not as good as one Wang Jian.

Ren served the wine, and Shen Bing and Wang Jian knelt in front of the desk and drank a few glasses.

Then Wang Jian said:

"The old man is here to bid farewell to the general."

Shen Bing was taken aback:

"how……"

After only two words, Shen Bing understood that it was time for Wang Jian to retire and return home.

Wang Jian nodded slightly, and immediately became a little older.

Obviously, at this moment, there is still some loss.

After a pause, Shen Bing asked again:

"Then Wang Ben..."

In history, Wang Jian returned home with Wang Ben.

Shen Bing thought he was going to lose another fierce general.

Wang Jian didn't want to but said:

"Bier is following the general, the old man is very relieved!"

"From now on, General Lao will take care of him!"

Chapter 365 Stealing the Master

Shen Bing originally wanted to spend a few days on Mount Tai. After all, he had to travel through mountains and rivers to come here, and maybe he hadn't relaxed for a long time. It would be nice to take this opportunity to visit the mountains and rivers.

However, Shen Bing received a letter from Feige from the Northland the next day.

Ren nervously took the letter and reported:

"General, spies have been found in the Northland!"

Both Shen Bing and Fusu felt that there was nothing strange about it. There are so many advanced gadgets in the Northland, such as looms, gunpowder, and rice-pounding waterwheels. It is strange that no one came to learn the technology secretly.

So at the beginning, he didn't take it seriously, Shen Bing just said "hmm" and continued to discuss with Fusu how to bring more businessmen from the Central Plains.

However, Ren added:

"It's a spy from the Huns!"

Only then did Shen Bing and Fusu look up at Ren in shock.

Shen Bing asked:

"Hun spies? How did they sneak into the workshop?"

Because he was worried that the Xiongnu would learn from them, Shen Bing strictly stipulated that only people from the Central Plains could enter the workshop from the beginning, and even had to check the household registration... Checking the household registration can only be done under the county system of the Qin State, although it is not easy. But it's worth it for the secrecy.

Ren submitted a letter and said:

"The Xiongnu used people from the Central Plains, and they had household registration!"

Shen Bing thought for a while, and then he understood.

Many Central Plains people were captured by the Huns and became slaves. Not only them, but their family members may also become slaves to the Huns.

then……

The Xiongnu can use their family members as hostages to coerce them into spies.

There are even many Central Plains people who are willing to work for the Huns. What is it called in modern times... Stockholm Syndrome.

To put it simply, after they were captured by the Huns, they thought they would die. Under such a situation with extremely low psychological expectations, as long as the Huns kept them alive or gave them some food, they would think that the Huns were not bad, so they turned back. Come over and side with the Huns.

People from the Central Plains also have household registration, so it is difficult to check.

In addition, there were a large number of people transferred from Dai Kingdom a few days ago... These people could not have household registration, so there were many spies mixed in.

Shen Bing unfolded the note and was surprised to find that the Huns were not only interested in gunpowder, but also waterwheels, iron smelting, textiles, etc. Under Wang Ben's urgent investigation, almost every department found Huns spies.

There may even be some that have not been dug out.

Fusu said strangely:

"It is said that the Xiongnu are not interested in technology, they have to ride and shoot horses, why..."

Shen Bing replied with a wry smile:

"Maudun is different from ordinary people. This person is very far-sighted. I should not underestimate him!"

These were indeed arranged by Maodu as Shen Bing thought, and arranged by Maodu himself.

In fact, Mao Dun began to arrange it as early as the first battle in Jiuyuan after he saw the power of "Shocking Thunder".

At that time, the Xiongnu died because of Touman Chanyu, Jiuyuan saw how powerful the Qin army was, and Donghu made things difficult again and again.

But at this time Maodun Shanyu was secretly discussing with his son Ji Porridge how to deal with the Qin army.

Ji Porridge did not participate in the battle of Jiuyuan. Hearing that there was such a terrifying weapon, he asked curiously:

"Shan Yu, if the Qin army has such a powerful 'shocking thunder', how can we fight against it in the future?"

"Wouldn't it be that wherever they go, where will we retreat?"

Mo Dun thought for a while and said:

"The way things are going, it's certainly going to continue like this."

"Although we have the advantage of the grassland, the Qin army, which is good at infantry, has nothing to do with us for the time being."

"But if you don't make preparations early, the Huns will definitely not be their opponents when the Qin army is strong and strong."

This is why Shen Bing said that Maodun was very farsighted.

Ordinary Huns would not think so far. Most of them have the character of being drunk now... This is the characteristic of nomads.

The life of nomads is to live by water and grass, so there is no need to think too much about changing the grass after eating, as long as the direction is right, and stop for a while when you walk to a place with water and grass.

But the farming people can't be so carefree. They have to calculate the farming season to consider disasters, and store food for the winter and the necessary wealth to meet unexpected needs...

Over time, the farming nation will naturally develop character traits such as strong computing power, the awareness of storing property to deal with crises, and a certain degree of foresight.

Of course this is only for the majority.

Farming peoples also have a day-to-day life, and nomadic peoples also store property to deal with crises.

Mao Dun Shanyu is an exception, perhaps this is one of the reasons why he prefers to learn the art of war in the Central Plains.

Ji Porridge asked curiously:

"How should we prepare?"

Mao Dun Shanyu replied without thinking:

"Learn their techniques."

"If we can also get the 'Shocking Thunder' and learn how to make it, naturally we don't need to be afraid of Qin Jun."

Ji Porridge said puzzledly:

"But... how can the people of Qin teach us?"

Mo Dun laughed, he patted Ji Congee on the shoulder and said:

"No they will teach us!"

It is needless to say what method Mouton uses.

He gathered a large number of slaves from the Central Plains, especially those craftsmen with families and skills.

Then give them good food and a better life.

After a while, Modu summoned the craftsmen and said to them:
