Chapter 3 Liu Bian's Changes

In the Hongnong Palace, when Ye Zhao arrived at the palace, he saw Liu Bian discussing something with several masters of the Shengong Camp, and the argument was very fierce.

A little curious, he stepped forward and bowed and said, "My minister Ye Zhao, please see Your Highness."

"Ye Qing is here just in time. Come and see what new things I have been studying in the past three years!" Liu Bian rushed to Ye Zhao excitedly, pulled Ye Zhao away. He was not very strong, but Ye Zhao was not able to break free, so he had to follow Liu Bian to a huge plan.

"This is..." There were several models on the plan. Ye Zhao's eyes shrank slightly and he looked at Liu Bian and said, "Is this what Your Highness did?"

"It's not all." Liu Bian shook his head and pointed to several masters and said, "In recent years, Shu has changed a lot. Gu also wants to help Ye Qing do something. He just talks about military and politics. Not to mention Ye Qing, the wise men under Ye Qing's mansion are far superior to Gu, and they can't help much, so he studied this study of studying things and did something that is beneficial to the people."

Seeing that Ye Zhao stopped talking, Liu Bian pointed to a model of the artifact and said, "Look at Ye Qing, I named this car a clamp. According to the principle of the catapult, if this thing can be made into a physical object, as long as the rope is tough enough, it can increase the weight of ten thousand pounds by more than five zhang. As long as the clamp is strong enough, it may not be necessary to increase it to ten zhang. And it can use ropes and machines to pull the brackets and adjust the angle at will, which can save a lot of unnecessary manpower!"

The principle of leverage is actually used in catapults. In fact, although people do not have a theory, in practice, the principle of leverage will be used in many places. In the study of matter, Ye Zhao put this one into separate chapters and waited for scholars to improve it.

But Ye Zhao didn't expect that the first person to apply this principle to reality was Liu Bian.

"There is also this thing, which is improved by water wheels. With the help of the impact of the water flow, the water can be extracted and irrigated. The water and soil in Shu are fertile, which is useless. However, if there is a water-deficient place, this thing can be used for irrigation of farmland, so the range of farmland can be larger."

In addition, Liu Bian also improved the existing seeders and harvesters, and according to Ye Zhao's perspective, they all seemed to be good, especially the thing named clamps by Liu Bian, which is clearly the ancient version of the crane!

"Ye Qing, how did Gu do it?" Liu Bian looked at Ye Zhao, his expression as if he had done something to wait for the child who was praised.

"Very good, can you make a real thing?" Ye Zhao nodded with a smile, and looked at the other masters and said.

"Go back to the lord, I'm still in the deduction stage and have not made any real things." Several masters shook their heads. This is also the reason for their quarrel before. If the things they made fail, it will not only waste time, but also waste energy. Although they also agree, Ye Zhao nodded in the royal palace.

"Practice is the only way to verify. You will deduce it for a hundred years here and there will be no results." Ye Zhao said: "I think Your Highness's model has been done very well. Next, deducing it will cause troubles."

"Ye Qing agrees?" Liu Bian said excitedly: "Don't Ye Qing think I'm losing my ambition?"

"Don't be willing to play with things? Who said that?" Ye Zhao looked at Liu Bian and frowned. Now the subject study is a formal science and has been included in the academy. Moreover, he has used facts to tell everyone more than once that this subject study is not a strange trick. Why are there still people in Shu spreading this concept now?

"A group of great scholars such as Cai Weng, Ren Ming, and others." Liu Bian sighed. Most of his knowledge was taught by these people.

"Your Highness, it's not my teacher who doesn't recognize my teacher." Ye Zhao touched his chin and looked at Liu Bian seriously: "Whether you are your master, your teacher or your teacher, the princes of the Central Plains, including the emperor, are all distributors of wealth in the world. We collect taxes, collect private wealth, and then mobilize food and grass to provide disaster relief, build bridges and roads. We are allocating wealth, and we do not create wealth."

"For example, the wealth in the world is one stone. What we are responsible for is only to decide how to distribute this wealth. No matter how it is distributed, the wealth is only one stone. What really creates wealth is these common people, farmers farming and the grain they plant can increase wealth. Craftsmen make these utensils that are beneficial to the people, such as His Highness's clamp, seed machine, and harvester. These can greatly increase the farmer's farming efficiency. This is a creation of wealth. Just imagine, if the people in the world have sharpened their heads and want to be distributors of wealth, and no one is willing to create wealth, the wealth in the world will become less and less."

Looking at Liu Bian's sudden enlightenment, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Now the princes are in conflict and the world is in chaos. No matter who wins in the end, the mutual fighting and killing are fiercely consuming wealth. We develop artifacts to increase the production of the people. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this is just a path, but every improvement of these artifacts can benefit future generations, but what can we princes do? Fighting each other, no matter who wins in the end, is actually destroying the world, and may be glorious for a while, but ask yourself, who has really done something beneficial to future generations and the world? How much can this stone wealth be left after the world is reunified?"

"Ye Qing can see clearly. In this way, I am not wrong?" Liu Bian said excitedly.

"Of course!" Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing at Liu Bian, who was emitting a sense of impulse all over his body.

Not only Liu Bian, but also a group of masters around him, could not help but look happy when he heard Ye Zhao's words. As the actual king in Shu, Ye Zhao's words were considered as a doping injection to those of them who were tirelessly seeking a path above craftsmen and things.

"Ye Qing can see clearly." Liu Bian suddenly lowered a little and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Can Ye Qing tell Gu that after the world is reunified, will he still be a great man?"

Ye Zhao looked up and looked at Liu Bian. Before he knew it, Liu Bian, who had rarely shown confidence on his face in the past, had become a handsome boy, with less cowardice and more confidence between his eyebrows.

"Of course." After a long time, Ye Zhao said something he didn't believe much.

"Ye Qing is both military and political. Weng Cai once said that Ye Qing is a talented person who is rare in a century. With Ye Qing's words, I feel relieved." Liu Bian looked at Ye Zhao and said with a smile.

The innocent and cowardly boy in the past is no longer innocent and cowardly. He understands some power and tricks, but...

"Your Highness just do what you like. As for the world, I will do my best to share your worries." Ye Zhao stood up and said, "It's getting late. I have other things to do, so I will take my leave first."

"Ye Qing goes by yourself, don't worry about the lonely ones." Liu Bian lowered his head, stopped looking at Ye Zhao, and carefully fiddled with the things on the table.

Ye Zhao nodded and left Liu Bian's hall.

"Who is on duty today? Let her come to see me!" After leaving the hall, Ye Zhao recruited a female guard from Nefan Camp and said in a deep voice.

"Here!" The female guard bowed and left quickly.

After a while, Ren Hongchang came over and bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "See lord."

"Do you think I am the lord?" Ye Zhao looked at Ren Hongchang's eyes carefully and said in a deep voice.

"Why did the lord say this?" Ren Hongchang said with a kneeling on one knee.

"Come with me." Ye Zhao looked around and took Ren Hongchang straight out of the royal palace. He was in a side hall outside the palace and ordered people to guard the left and right.

"Lord, what happened?" Ren Hongchang looked at Ye Zhao and said.

"What has Prince Bian done in the past three years?" Ye Zhao looked at Ren Hongchang and said.

"I would occasionally discuss studies with Cai Weng, and Zhang Song, Ren An, Qin Mi and others would come to give lectures to Your Highness." Ren Hongchang bowed and said.

"Who are those craftsmen? Have they ever been recorded in the book?" Ye Zhao asked.

"Anyone who enters and leaves the palace has records."

"Zhang Songnai is engaged in it and has no right to enter and exit the palace. Why is he allowed to do so?"

"Your Highness invites you to have sex with you, and it is not easy for the general to stop you." Ren Hongchang talked about how Zhang Song went in and out of the royal palace over the past three years. Among them, there are many cases of Cai Yong being invited by Zhang Song.

"My father-in-law has been used as a gun again!" Ye Zhao sighed. Three years have been enough to change a person's perception. It has been too long since he left this time.

"Lord, will Zhang Song and others stop visiting Your Highness from today?" Ren Hongchang looked up and looked at Ye Zhao and said.

"No need, the wood has been completed, it's useless at this time." Ye Zhao shook his head and looked at Ren Hongchang and said, "Hongchang, can I still believe you?"

Ren Hongchang took out a short sword from his arms and said in a deep voice: "Hongchang has today, which is given by the lord. Hongchang has no disagreement with the lord. This heart is willing to tell him to death!"

"Ba~"

Without saying a word, he stabbed the dagger into the heart, and simply decisively, without any hesitation, but was stopped by Ye Zhao. He looked at Ren Hongchang and smiled and said, "The Yinke people cannot cultivate a dead soldier like Hongchang. You go back and continue on duty."

"Here!" Ren Hongchang bowed and said goodbye and left.

Ye Zhao stood with his hands behind his back and looked outside the door. Now that Shu is in power, he originally didn't want Liu Bian to get involved in this troubled world and be a prince peacefully and lively. He had some explanations to the dead Liu Hong, Liu Wei, and Cai Yong, but now it seems that it is impossible to relax for a lifetime.

Zhang Song, Ren An, Qin Mi!

Ye Zhao clenched his fists, sneered and shook his head and sighed. Do you really think Liu Bian could have any impact on him? Or... these people have other means?

It seems that before I send troops, it is time to clean up the Chengdu/City again.

"Check!" Ye Zhao suddenly said to the air: "Who are Zhang Song, Ren An and Qin Mi interacting with over the years? Generals in the army and disciples of the academy, who have any connections with them? Even if there is a grudge, they must investigate!"

"Here!" After a promise, there was no more noise.
Chapter completed!
