You went to hire Liu Ba, why did you bring back such a great god?
Xu Fu is famous, but his reputation is not very good.
Most people regard Xu Fu as a liar.
Because Xu Fu did not prepare the elixir of life for Qin Shihuang, and even went overseas with a group of people.
In the eyes of secular people, this is a complete liar.
Of course, Liu Bei would not be so superficial anymore.
Putting aside who Qin Shihuang was, was he so easy to deceive?
Even if you are easy to deceive, you can only deceive someone with two tools.
No matter what, Xu Fu must have real talent and learning.
However, Liu Bei didn't like people like Xu Fu very much. He always felt that these people were of no benefit to the country and the people, so it was best to keep them at a respectful distance.
However, Xu Fu was brought back by Chen Yuan. If Liu Bei didn't believe Xu Fu, he must believe Chen Yuan.
Although Liu Bei was a little worried, he was still very respectful to Xu Fu: "Bei has met Mr. Junfang. I didn't expect that Mr. Junfang has such profound cultivation. He can live from the end of Qin Dynasty to today. It's really enviable."
Yes, although Liu Bei didn't like Xu Fu very much, he was still very envious of him for living so long.
Even Liu Bei wanted to know the reason why Xu Fu lived for so long.
Immortality is a wish that everyone has.
Because most people don't want to die.
When Xu Fu heard what Liu Bei said, he didn't feel much joy in his heart.
Because even if he could live again, he would still die.
Moreover, most of his life over the past four hundred years was not satisfactory.
On the contrary, I lived the happiest life when I was under the command of Qin Shihuang.
Because Qin Shihuang understood him.
To outsiders, the two of them seemed crazy, but in fact only the two of them knew that the power of a practitioner's lifespan has expired.
This is the fundamental reason why Qin Shihuang asked Xu Fuguang to find a way to live forever.
It's a pity that Xu Fu couldn't find Qin Shihuang while he was alive. Even if he found the Peach Blossom Spring later, it still looked like neither a human nor a ghost. What's there to envy?
When Chen Yuan saw this, he quickly interrupted and told Liu Bei the cause and effect of the incident.
Liu Bei suddenly realized this.
He suddenly lost interest in Xu Fu's so-called immortality.
This is not in line with Liu Bei's character.
Therefore, Liu Bei no longer paid attention to the matter of immortality, but paid great attention to the extraterrestrial creature Chen Yuan talked about.
"Mr. Kimifang, is that thing really so powerful?"
Xu Fu looked heavy: "Yes, that thing is not only huge, but also hanging high in the sky. Its eyes are full of indifference and coldness. I feel like I am just food in its eyes."
Liu Bei nodded when he heard this and looked at Chen Yuan: "Fourth brother, what do you think?"
Chen Yuan told Liu Bei what he had said to Xu Fu.
After Chen Yuan finished speaking, Liu Bei looked calm.
Not only did Xu Fu feel a little stunned, but even Chen Yuan did not expect Liu Bei to have such an expression.
Liu Bei saw Chen Yuan and Xu Fu were a little shocked, and immediately smiled: "Why, didn't you expect Bei to be so calm?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect that my eldest brother is already so good at cultivating qi. He has the air of a general who doesn't change his expression even if the mountain collapses before his eyes."
Liu Bei laughed and scolded: "What a damn general, I have something to rely on, so I can be so calm."
When Chen Yuan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, in terms of understanding of the world, no one can compare with them, the old Liu family.
Although my eldest brother is a descendant of a declining clan, he must know something.
"Brother, what do you know? Tell me quickly."
Liu Bei glanced at Xu Fu, thought for a moment, and did not let Xu Fu avoid it.
After all, Xu Fu knew everything, so there was no need to avoid taboos.
Liu Bei thought about it for a moment: "I seem to have heard my father say this thing you mentioned, but I was still young at that time and don't remember it very clearly. Moreover, what my father said was rather vague, and it seems that he didn't know much."
"My father once said to me that the world is getting smaller and smaller, and it is getting bigger and bigger. Maybe after thousands of years, our world will have changed. That's all he said. At that time, I didn't know what he meant.
Now it seems that the thing my father was talking about is most likely the thing Mr. Kimifang saw."
As expected, the old Liu family still has some good stuff.
Guys like Liu Bei's father Liu Hong, who were only described in history books, knew something that others didn't know.
The more Chen Yuan thought about these words of Liu Bei's father, Liu Hong, the more horrifying he felt that what they contained contained in them.
When Liu Hong said that the world is getting smaller and smaller, he probably did not refer to space, because the size of heaven and earth in space should not have changed much.
What does that mean?
Chen Yuan touched it for a while, but nothing came out. However, this is not too important now. What is important is whether Liu Hong has any way to deal with it.
"Brother, has uncle ever told me how to deal with it?"
Liu Bei shook his head: "No."
Chen Yuan collapsed immediately. Since he never said this, how can you rely on him?
Seeing Chen Yuan's bad expression, Liu Bei smiled: "Fourth brother, don't panic. Although my late father never said a way to deal with it, it should be the reason for the decline of our Liu family in Zhuo County. I think there must be someone in the court."
For a more detailed record, I will submit a letter to the imperial court, and Xianhe and I will send it to the emperor for consultation."
Liu Bei now has this self-confidence. As the shepherd of a state, he is no longer a dispensable figure in the entire Liu clan, but a big shot in the Liu clan.
The emperor now also values Liu Bei more.
The reason is simple, because Liu Bei paid taxes.
In today's world, any place that can pay taxes to the central government will be valued and appreciated by the imperial court.
To be honest, the imperial court has no money now.
Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many counties and counties did not pay taxes to the imperial court, and the reason was very good. They were plagued by moth thieves and the people's livelihood in the jurisdiction was in decline, so they really could not collect taxes.
Of course, most of these are excuses.
In fact, this is because most of the local food and money go into the pockets of local powerful people.
This is a very simple truth.
Although the Yellow Turban thieves are ferocious, they can break up counties and slaughter some powerful landlords, but they have no way to deal with some real powerful people. They basically kill some small powerful and small landowners. The great thing is some of the powerful powerful people and landlords.
, the Yellow Turbans have no good solution for those big powerful people and big landowners.
Of course, it would be different if the three Zhang Jiao brothers were to take action. A first-level powerhouse would always have a strong deterrent effect.
But after all, the three Zhang Jiao brothers were incapable of doing anything, and Wang Yue was keeping an eye on them, so they couldn't just run around.
This also led to the fact that what the Yellow Turban Rebellion really harmed was the strength of the imperial court. The damage to the powerful landowners was limited, but it gave them more reasons and excuses to expand their strength.
It was after the Yellow Turban Rebellion that the powerful and landlords began to expand their strength more rapidly and began to possess armed forces.
Therefore, powerful landowners should be grateful to the Yellow Turbans.
If the powerful landowners want to grow, they naturally don't want to pay taxes. Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they had no choice but now, they not only have excuses but also have the strength, so it becomes more and more difficult for the court to collect taxes.
You must know that the collection of imperial taxes relies on these powerful landowners. Now that they are unwilling to pay, local officials have nothing to do.
Only officials with strong strength and high means can seize part of the tax revenue from powerful landowners.
Ordinary officials don't have that ability.
You have to pay if you don't want to, it's really impossible.
After Liu Bei became the shepherd of Jingzhou, he paid no less than one penny in taxes to the court.
It's not that Jingzhou is really that rich. The important thing is that today's society is also very interesting to Liu Bei. Although it costs money, Liu Bei must have something to show for being able to give Liu Bei such a treasured land as Jingzhou as a place to settle down.
Paying taxes on time is the best reward.
Of course, there is not enough.
One is that Jingzhou really didn’t have so many at that time, and the other is that even if it had so much, it couldn’t pay in full.
Because no other place has paid in full, but Jingzhou is the only one who can pay in full.
This will offend most officials in the world.
Although Liu Bei was very grateful to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he would not commit suicide himself.
Therefore, Jingzhou paid 80% of previous years’ taxes.
Eighty percent is the right amount.
It can not only satisfy the emperor, but also avoid being regarded as an alien by colleagues in the world.
After all, there are still many places where taxes are paid, it just varies.
Although 80% is a lot and can be considered the top group, it is not enough to stand out.
Not to mention, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty received the taxes paid by Jingzhou, he was really happy.
When he was alone, he couldn't help but sigh to himself that his family was more reliable.
However, he quickly thought of someone.
That person is Liu Yan.
The person who proposed to abolish Shi Li Mu was indeed ambitious.
Since Liu Yan went to Yizhou, communication with the imperial court was cut off.
Of course, Liu Yan had a good excuse, that is, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, the leader of the rice thieves, was suspected of being an accomplice of the Yellow Turban thieves, and was brazenly causing rebellion. He was currently suppressing the rebellion.
But Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty knew that Zhang Lu and Liu Yan had a close relationship.
The two of them might have some secret deal or something.
Although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was angry, he was not very angry.
Because he had expected this situation a long time ago, he had already seen that Liu Yan was not a peaceful person.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty looked at the bamboo slips in his hands with a mysterious smile on his face: "Liu Yan? Liu Bei? Or Liu Yu? Or Liu Yao, Liu Dai, Liu Biao?"
Seeing such confidence, Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel envious.
This is the benefit of having a backer.
Liu Bei's current supporter is the emperor.
Although Chen Yuan no longer hopes to get anything useful from the court, because Chen Yuan has figured it out.
If the imperial court had the means, it would have solved this problem long ago, why bother leaving it now.
Most likely there is nothing you can do about it, the most you can do is learn more about it.
However, knowing more is worth it anyway, so Chen Yuan did not stop Liu Bei's behavior.
"Brother, although we can ask the court, I think the court does not have the energy to solve this matter now. In the end, we have to rely on ourselves."
Liu Bei agreed with Chen Yuan's words.
Relying on the sky, the land, and your parents is not as good as relying on yourself.
"However, there is a big problem. That thing lives high in the sky, and its strength is unpredictable. Mr. Kimifang, who is almost an immortal, finds it impossible to deal with it. How can we deal with it?"
Yes, let’s not talk about whether you are strong enough. First of all, you must be able to go up.
Jiutian Gangfeng is no joke, even a first-level strong person cannot withstand it for too long.
Even if you organize a group of first-level experts to go up there, the only downside is that the entire army will be wiped out.
If it falls from the sky, even a strong warrior's body will be smashed to pieces.
The biggest problem now is how to fly up.
If Chen Yuan could take out those super-era things from the system, he could fly up and even destroy them.
Chen Yuan believed that perhaps thousands of missiles could blow up the thing without using atomic bombs.
However, let alone atomic bombs, even qualified artillery shells cannot be made.
There are no qualified guns to shoot these shells.
What to do?
You can't just make a bunch of explosives and let a first-level expert throw them away.
Hey!
Chen Yuan suddenly realized that this was not a solution.
The power of a first-level expert is very huge. If the explosive package is made big enough, a first-level expert can throw it.
TNT explosives may not be produced now.
But black powder is not impossible.
I don't know if it's possible to use black powder to make explosive charges.
Chen Yuan estimated that it should be possible.
In fact, Chen Yuan didn't know that black gunpowder was used in many explosive bags.
Well, during the Anti-Japanese War, many of the explosive packets used by our soldiers were made of black powder.
The reason is very simple. Supplies are expensive and scarce, and black powder is easier to make, so black powder is used to make explosive packets.
Moreover, the power of this explosive pack is not small.
Regardless of whether it works or not, let’s try it first and then tell.
There is no need to click on the technology tree for black gunpowder. The proportions are already known. As for the raw materials, Jingzhou has no shortage of them.
The creation is complete.
It's no big deal for a first-level expert to carry a thousand kilograms of explosives.
Under extreme circumstances, a first-level expert can move or even fly into the sky carrying something weighing ten thousand kilograms.
However, doing so consumes more physical strength and energy.
So, if it’s safe, let’s make one that weighs three thousand pounds.
Chen Yuan felt excited just thinking about the power of a three thousand kilogram explosive bag.
The heaviest bomb in history is the FAB-3000 heavy bomb, which weighs 3,000 kilograms.
How powerful is this bomb? According to records, the explosion shock wave can completely destroy hundreds of thousands of square meters of solid buildings! Instantly destroy any living thing within a radius of 300 meters! Buildings and living forces within a radius of 500 meters will also be severely damaged by overpressure!
Three thousand kilograms is half of this bomb, and its power may be reduced, but this is an explosive pack, not the same as a bomb.
And it wasn't just one person. What Chen Yuan wanted to do was to gather ten people and throw them over together.
That's 30,000 kilograms of explosives exploding at the same time. The power would definitely make someone take a drink.
