This war is not only catalyzing the progress of medical skills, but in fact all technologies are making great progress due to this war.

For example, the largest coal mine in Chang'an has been completely different from the coal mines that everyone remembers in the past few months. I saw wooden trucks of all sizes shuttle back and forth, either by animal power or by human power.

"Aunt! This kind of track is really useful, and it has increased our transportation efficiency several times." Yuan Xiu was very excited to look at this brand new transportation track.

Yuan Mudan also smiled and nodded, with a glimmer of joy in her eyes.

Yuwen Xiumi hahaha: "Can our Yuwen Chexing invention be bad? Now this is still a wooden track. If it were replaced with steel tracks, the efficiency would definitely be higher."

Yuan Mudan said: "Then you have to produce enough coal and iron ore first, and you invented steaming cars. Otherwise, using steel tracks would be really not cost-effective."

In fact, the first thing they produced was steel tracks, which were ten feet in total, divided into two sections, and paired with special wheels. They found that the efficiency was indeed much improved, but at the same time the cost was huge and the cost was too high. In this situation, it was impossible to produce on a large scale, and there were some technical difficulties.

But it has been proved that this is indeed feasible. Yuan Mudan boldly adopted traditional wooden tracks and used iron smelted from scrap iron to reinforce it. The cost is greatly reduced, and the production efficiency is extremely fast. Zhongyuan really has no shortage of carpenters, but there are also disadvantages, that is, it is very easy to break, and the endurance of the wood is still not good. However, Yuan Mudan does not plan to always use wooden tracks. She just wants to quickly extract a large amount of coal and iron, overcome this difficulty first, and then slowly replace the steel tracks.

East Palace!

Wu Meiniang sat on the couch, her beautiful eyes closed, her eyebrows were filled with deep sadness, and she also showed her fatigue.

After a while, I saw Qin Minghe, the chief physician, walked out of the inner room.

Wu Meiniang opened her beautiful eyes and asked, "How is the situation of the prince?"

Qin Minghe hurriedly said, "Report to the Queen, the prince is sick because of excessive sadness. It's not a big deal. However, the prince is weak in constitution and must be recuperated. If evil spirits invade, the consequences can be big or small." When he spoke, his face showed guilt.

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Remember, your Majesty's affairs must not be disclosed, otherwise, if the morale of the army is in chaos, the Tang Dynasty will be in danger."

"I understand, I understand."

"You have been staying in the East Palace to take care of the prince recently, and the prince can't lose anything anymore."

"I obey the order."

Just then, a palace maid walked in and said, "Report to the Empress, Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Revenue, and asked for a meeting."

Wu Meiniang immediately got up and walked out.

Qin Minghe sighed softly and said, "It's such a miserable Queen!"

Wu Meiniang came directly to Liangyi Hall.

"See the Queen."

"No gift!"

Wu Meiniang sat down and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Daxiang said: "Qi Bi, our money has been spent almost all, but the current situation is still very anxious. It may not be over yet. I think we have to prepare for the future."

When Wu Meiniang heard this, a look of joy flashed in her eyes and asked, "How long can she last?"

Zhang Daxiang said: "At the current consumption rate, if the imperial court still wants to stabilize the market's grain prices and do not increase, and not counting the existing grain on the front line, then the money we have left can last for up to three months. Oh, if the grain from Shangzhou and Yuanzhou can arrive on time, it can increase by one or two months."

In fact, the Tang Dynasty had not tried its best, and did not say that all the food was used for war. Han Yi had always required that the price of grain should not rise by more than fifteen cents per bull, and that the country must be stabilized. However, the court's logistics this time was a possibility that even labor was less, and it was simply used to operate with money. Although 50 million guan was an astronomical figure, it was consumed very quickly. The key was that all the places were fighting, and the food in the government could not be concentrated. Shandong and Shu were all grain production areas, but it was impossible to transport the food out because they were also fighting.

Wu Meiniang pondered for a while and said, "In this way, use the food from the Shaofu as military ration."

Zhang Daxiang said: "How can this be done? The food in the Shaofu needs to maintain the imperial guards in the capital. If the imperial guards have no food, there may be mutiny."

Wu Meiniang said: "Make sure their food for three months, and the rest will be used as military rations, including our food."

Zhang Daxiang said in surprise: "What should you do, queen?"

Wu Meiniang said: "I have some home business and some jewelry that I will sell for you, so I can maintain it for some time."

Zhang Daxiang was very prejudiced to Wu Meiniang, but at this moment, he was in awe. He would rather sell his property and send his food to the soldiers on the front line than to forcefully collect grain from the people.

There is nothing to say.

Han Yi’s logistics strategy is to buy with money and resolutely not to force the collection of grain. To maintain this system, you must find ways to get money instead of finding ways to exploit the people.

After Zhang Daxiang left, Wu Meiniang suddenly took out a letter from her arms, but she saw it saying that when Zhang Daxiang came to tell you that the logistics was tight, it indicates that the war was about to end. You don’t have to worry about selling your own business to increase your reputation. There is another sentence later, anyway, if you have glass in your hand, your little business is just a drop in the bucket.

"I want to see how you can quickly end this war." Wu Meiniang said gritting her teeth.

She has been led by Han Yi all the time. She can't resist and has no courage. Although she has powerful political means, she can't fight. When the enemy attacks, she will die. At this time, she can only believe Han Yi. But the problem is that she can't see the dawn of the end of the war at present. Now she is still suppressed by the enemy. Even if the situation is reversed, it is impossible to end the war so soon. You must know that the Tubo local area has not even had a war and a spark, and it has to go to the plateau. Where can I support it?

Liangzhou.

Xiaopang Group.

Brother Xiong sat in the room, his little eyes rolling rapidly, looking left and right, as if he was a little anxious.

I saw a few young men of his size sitting beside him, each of whom was holding a small piece of yellow pastry in his hands.

"This is really a delicacy!"

A man suddenly nodded and praised.

Brother Xiong said excitedly: "It's really delicious?"

"Delicious! Delicious! After adding cheese to this scone, the taste will be more mellow."

"Is that right? Then I'll try one too."

"Brother Xiaopang, why didn't you eat it just now?"

"I'm afraid it's not delicious. Haha!"

Brother Xiong hurriedly picked up a piece, bite it out of half, and while eating, he said, "It's delicious, delicious. It's really delicious."

"This cake is not only delicious, but also can be preserved for a long time. The warriors on the front line will definitely like it."

"And there is also the cheese flavor that the people in the northwest love to eat." Xiong was very happy and said, "Now let someone make some taste for the children in the city."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."

"By the way! Brother Xiaopang, what is this cake called?"

"What else can I call it? Of course it's Xiaopang!"

"hey-hey!"

This is the latest cake developed by Xiong Di, which is actually a biscuit.

The war is coming, and the food that can be maintained for a long time is the most important thing. Xiaopang Group has been developing this type of food. During this period, he continued to improve his Xiaopang cakes, and he developed biscuits, which also added some candied fruits and dried fruits. He was very thoughtful, and considered that the people in the northwest like cheese, so he added dairy products to it, which tasted better, which could save a lot of food.

Because the prices of dried fruits, candied fruits and dairy products on the market are now falling sharply, and the prices of grain have long fallen. Now it’s good to have food, so who can buy those snacks?

In this world, only Brother Xiong has always lived in the law of "good intentions will be rewarded".

In short, this war is catalyzing all great strides forward

Dafeichuan.

"well."

Zhao Chiman sighed heavily when he got into the big tent.

Su Dingfang hurriedly asked, "What's the war in the north?"

Zhao Chiman said: "Originally, General Xue and General Ashina cut off the retreat route of the enemy's main force north of Shicheng Town, but he never thought that Qinling sent several small troops to cross the Qilian Mountains from the mountain stream path, interfering with our army's logistics in the rear, forcing General Xue to have to retreat. It was really a waste of effort."

Su Dingfang looked at the map on the table with a look of concern and said, "The enemy's move is really powerful." As he said that, he pointed his hand on the map and said, "Although the border between Tubo and our Tang Dynasty is blocked by mountains, the army cannot pass. Even if it passes, the food cannot be supplied. However, if the enemy continues to send such small-scale troops to interfere with our army's logistics, it will be very difficult. They can still enter our Central Plains from the east to harass."

The advantage of this terrain is also irreversible to the powerful commander.

Zhao Chiman sighed and said, "Now our army is equal to the enemy, and no one can destroy anyone in one fell swoop. It seems that it is very difficult to fight and decide quickly."

Almost all tactics in the world today are being performed in the northwest, and at the same time, many new tactics have been developed. These are not defenses on one side, and the attacks on the other side, both sides attack each other, you encircle me, and I encircle you, you attack my rear, I attack your rear, what towns and key passes have become a gimmick. Both sides only want to destroy the opponent's main force, and have burned the opponent's food and grass. Moreover, both sides are all cavalry, and the frequency of battle is very fast, which is dazzling.

Su Dingfang sighed and said, "But I am old, otherwise."

Zhao Chiman looked at Su Dingfang in surprise.

Su Dingfang knew that he had made a mistake, so he quickly coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment. This battlefield was actually the battlefield in the dream of all generals. If Su Dingfang was ten years younger, he would not stay here. He said, "It seems that he has to wait for Shangshuling to take action!"

Zhao Chiman asked, "By the way, where is the Shangshu Ling going?"

Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "It seems like he's going to Qinghai Lake to cruise."

"!" Zhao Chiman almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Qinghai Lake.

The lake is filled with green waves and algae flowers. Surrounding the lake, the green mountains, dense trees, gurgling water, and the occasional majesty makes the lake surface a charming wave of light appear. The windmills reflected on the lake surface gather, disperse, expand, and shrink.

A tour boat floated on the lake without purpose.

"Madam, is the scenery here beautiful?"

Han Yi sat on the deck, hugged a beautiful woman, and looked at the scenery in the distance leisurely.

Chen Shuozhen gave him an angrily glance and said, "At this moment, you are still thinking about pulling me here to cruise."

Han Yi said: "Or it would be fine!"

Is it okay to do it? Is this commander of the three armies good enough? If it weren't for his husband, Chen Shuozhen would have kicked this guy down. It would be really hateful, and said, "Do you still remember the night we fought in Meihe for life and death?"

Han Yi was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Of course I remember!"

Chen Shuozhen said: "If I remember correctly, we had a debate on whether I raised an army to rebel or not."

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, and said, "You want to mock me for being very hypocritical. I knew I was talking about you at that time, but now I'm playing crazy more than you."

Chen Shuozhen shook her head and said, "I'm not mocking you."

"You don't need to take care of my feelings." Han Yi shook his head and said, "Because this is the case, I will not deny all this. I also know that after I die, my lies will sooner or later be found by future generations, and will even be nailed to the pillar of shame, because there are no eternal lies in this world, and lies are always lies and cannot become eternal truth."

Chen Shuozhen said: "Since that's the case, why do you still have to do this?"

Han Yi was silent for a little while, shook his head and sighed: "Actually, under so many lives, no matter how just the reason is, it will only make me more hypocritical. I don't want to explain all this, but I have to do this."

Chen Shuozhen pondered for a while and said, "Actually, there are still some differences between us, and it shouldn't be very different."

Han Yi looked at her with inquiring eyes, "How do you say this?"

Chen Shuozhen raised a self-deprecating smile on his lips, "First of all, I am doomed to fail, and you may succeed, but if that's all, I think I'm still meaningful, because I can still sound the alarm for the court. This water can carry a boat and can also overturn it. Unfortunately, I wanted to be the emperor later, and you didn't seem to have this idea. This is also the most important difference. If anyone fights for the throne, everything will become meaningless in the end."

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why didn't I realize that you are so good at comforting people."

Chen Shuozhen smiled and said, "You are so thick-skinned, so why do you need comfort? The reason why I mentioned this is to ask you if you can end this war soon? If you drag it down, variables may arise."
