"Can the base plate of this engraved formation be smaller?" Three days later, the second flying boat was created. With the first experience, the second flying boat has a qualitative leap compared to the first in appearance and texture. At least now, it seems to have a bit of majestic and domineering feeling, but Lu Bu is obviously not very satisfied.

"Smaller?" Taoist Mu Yun said in confusion: "Then the whole flying boat will be much smaller."

"It's enough to be so big. I mean to make this array plate that can gather power alone. I asked the craftsman to build the flight boat. This will save a lot of jade and gold and save more trouble. At that time, you just need to inlay the prepared array plate into the prepared flight boat." Lu Bu said, in this way, the array plate is equivalent to a chip, the power source of the entire flight boat, but it does not affect the speed of the flight boat building. This array plate cannot be mass-produced, but the hull can be mass-produced. At that time, as long as the array pattern of the array plate can match the array pattern carved by the hull, it will be enough.

Of course, in this way, some people who can draw the array map are needed. Lu Bu has actually been trained during this period.

"Your method..." Listening to Lu Bu's thoughts, Taoist Mu Yun nodded thoughtfully: "It is indeed feasible. How big do you want to reduce the array plate?"

Lu Bu compared his fingernails: "How?"

"Bang~" Taoist Mu Yun looked at the size that Lu Bu compared incredibly, and the brush covered with cinnabar in his hand also fell on the table. Then, Taoist Mu Yun corrected his sloppy clothes and bowed to Lu Bu, "Xiao Dao I am just an outer disciple of the Jie Sect. I have been practicing for two thousand years but I am just a small scattered immortal. I can't stand it for great use. I will go back to my Biyun Cave to practice. General, please ask another wise man~"

"The Taoist Master is a serious man!" Lu Bu hurriedly stopped him. This is a rare scientific research talent. If you look at it from a sustainable perspective, then the Daluo Jinxian would never change him. After thinking about it, he spread his whole palm: "How big is this?"

Taoist Mu Yun just shook his head and looked at Lu Bu speechlessly.

"What size can the Taoist priest reduce this array plate to at least?" Lu Bu frowned. The size of a palm should be able to carve the formation?

"It needs to be tried." Taoist Mu Yun said: "This formation is not just carved out, it also needs to be able to accommodate and guide the spiritual energy of the world. This is the first time I have seen a stingy prince like you!"

"Then it's hard for Taoist priest." Lu Bu smiled and said, there is no need to explain this kind of thing. As long as Taoist Mu Yun can study it safely and practically make the formation practical, it will be the greatest effect. As for the rest, it is what Lu Bu should consider.

Moreover, Lu Bu was thinking recently that in addition to this flying boat, he could actually use the hand of Taoist Mu Yun to refine some things that cannot be refined by mortals at this stage, such as high-pressure furnaces that can smelter steel, high-strength glass, etc.

During the war, Lu Bu was not prepared to promote these things, and there was no such condition or time. During the war, we should seek stability, and secondly, if we really develop these things and the spiritual construction does not keep up, as the people become rich, it may become extremely difficult to recruit soldiers at that time. Therefore, when these things are studied now, most of them are mainly military use. When the human race is unified one day, Lu Bu will begin to gradually establish a civilization belonging to the human race and exert the creativity of the human race. In Lu Bu's heart, this is the way the human race should go, and he wants to build a prehistoric world!

Taoist Mu Yun waved his hand helplessly and continued to study this economic and practical way, while Lu Bu left here and lacked the main hall to deal with things.

The negotiations in the north were deadlocked, and Yuan Shao had not yet made a final decision, but both sides obviously had the intention of uniting with Lu Bu and Cao Cao, so Lu Su's mission was very successful this time, but next, it was time to lead Yuan Shao to attack south. This was also the purpose of Lu Su's second mission. Lu Bu hoped that Cao Cao could take the initiative to go to war with Yuan Shao. Lu Bu would restrain Yuan Shao on the flank, that is, Qingzhou, but the main force must be Cao Cao.

"Mr. Cao, my lord had fought with Cao Gong before. In Xuzhou, nine out of ten rooms were empty, and the wasteland was thousands of miles away. The people were unable to eat. Xuzhou's food and grass were used to restore people's livelihood. How could our army resist the millions of troops in Hebei??" Xuchang, in Sikong Mansion, Lu Su looked at Cao Cao with a sad face. In short, it was the same meaning. Xuzhou was too difficult~

"Zijing, since Xuzhou is so difficult, how could Mr. Wen bear the heart of His Majesty as miserable as him? It would be better to send His Majesty back to Xuchang. If Mr. Wen can agree, it would not be difficult to ask our army to fight Yuan Shao as the leader." Xun Yu said with a smile.

"I don't want to do it, but I can't do it. Mr. Wenruo knows that Your Majesty has suffered from a serious illness recently and is not good at traveling. At this time, you are asked to travel thousands of miles to Xuchang. If there is a mistake on the way due to the fatigue of the journey, what Wenruo wants?" Lu Su asked back.

"Since that's the case, I now have a Hui'an traveler in Xuchang, commonly known as Li Muzha, who has the ability to fly clouds and fog. If he can pick up Your Majesty back to Xuchang, it would be not difficult." Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"To be honest, there is a Bodhisattva in Buddhism, and all Buddhas have died at the hands of our master. Our master has formed a grudge with the Buddhist. If the Hui'an traveler arrives in Xuzhou, it may be difficult to guarantee whether our master will cause trouble to him." Lu Su said with a smile.

When everyone in Cao's camp heard this, they were silent. Lu Bu killed Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Xuzhou, which made this Buddhism not only seem to the people of Xuzhou, but it was almost a representative of incompetent gods. Even on Cao's camp, they also lack confidence. Although the two armies were fighting and not killing the envoys, and Cao Lu was now preparing to form an alliance, the affairs of the gods could not be described in this way.

Moreover, Cao Cao had another concern, that is, what should he do if Lu Bu suddenly didn’t talk about martial ethics and came to Xuchang personally? Isn’t it like killing Buddha or Bodhisattva?

The subsequent negotiations were a bit fierce. If the Cao army failed to ask for the emperor, then the next battlefield division Lu Bu had to make concessions. Cao Cao needed Qingzhou and had no worries at all. In other words, Lu Bu wanted to restrain Yuan Shao's army in Qingzhou in all directions, not only in the direction of Langya, but also in the direction of Pengcheng County, and bypassed the two lines of Mount Tai to attack Qingzhou, making the Yuan Shao army in Qingzhou unable to support Yuan Shao's main force!

However, Lu Su wanted to ask Cao Cao for food and population. After all, Xuzhou has lost a lot of population due to Cao Cao. Now Lu Bu wants to recruit more troops and cultivate people's livelihood. It is not possible to have no population.

Cao Cao naturally couldn't give food. He was still short of food. The gentry in the country now had a high voice for surrendering Yuan Shao. Especially in order to ease the situation and surrender to Yuan Shao, the emperor was gone. Many scholars even moved their families to Jizhou to join Yuan Shao. In this case, it was extremely difficult for Cao Cao to collect grain from the genius. As for how much food can he collect from the people?

"In terms of population, the population of the land of Runan is allowed to be from Marquis Wen. Before the emperor was in Xuchang, Yuan Shu usurped the emperor and became emperor. We should send troops to wipe out it. Now that I am in Xuzhou, I should wipe out it by Marquis Wen. If I can get the land of Runan, why worry about not having enough population?" Cheng Yu looked at Lu Su and said with a smile.

"Is Sikong no longer a Han official? Is this matter of destroying the rebels not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?" Lu Su frowned. Although Yuan Shu was already in a dilemma, the lean camel was bigger than a horse, and Runan was not that easy to fight.

"However, our army must prepare for war in Jizhou, and go south to wipe out Yuan Shu. How can we fight against Yuan Shao by division of troops??" Cheng Yu asked back.

Lu Su was not good at speaking and thought that this was the reason, so the matter finally came to an end. Then he reached a general agreement. All that was left was Cao Cao's desire to ask for a few more official positions. This could be argued slowly. Even if he didn't say it, if he could win this battle, he would have to be rewarded in the end.

After staying in Xuchang for two days, Lu Su finally finalized some details, and then rushed back to Xuzhou without stopping to make an alliance in secret. The next step was to perform a play between Chen Qun and Chen Gong in Jizhou, and everyone would be tacit at that time.

After a while, it was already the end of June when Lu Su returned to Xuzhou. Xuzhou had already experienced a grain harvest. This time the grain harvest was very strange. Not only did the fertile land mastered by a large number of families in Xuzhou, but it was less than 10% of the previous years. On the contrary, the newly reclaimed fields of the people and the thin fields owned by small farmers were harvested by each household.

The harvest transaction tax of those wealthy families is enough, but after paying the tax, I will send the food to the tenant farmers to promise them, and there will be basically nothing left. This is simply incredible.

Some scholars have secretly ordered people to change their fields with the people who have harvest this year, either forcing or inducing them to exchange one and a half acres of land for one acre or even two acres of land for one acre.

In short, the government office was very busy during that time, and people came to exchange land almost every day. But even so, judging from the recent growth, these families who have changed land have been fine. Although there was no big harvest, they were still normal. The fields of families who have not been able to exchange land still seem to have a bleak harvest now.

However, the people who have exchanged fields with the aristocratic families still have a great harvest, which made many scholars see that something is wrong. God is messing with them? That is impossible, how could God be so idle?

Don’t forget that the legend of the Lord of Xuzhou is also an existence that can swallow clouds and mists. This may be unrelated to Lu Bu!

People from this aristocratic family are not stupid, and they suffered a great loss twice in a row. And such a coincidence, although there is no evidence, except Lu Bu, I really can't think of any god with such ability who has the motivation to deal with them. It is obvious that Lu Bu is hitting them.

Many scholars who figured out the key ones began to compromise. There was no way to compromise without compromise. They didn't bother them. Although they speculated that this was Lu Bu's actions, there was no evidence. If Lu Bu used tough measures, they would still have a way to fight back, but they really couldn't take over this method.

When Lu Su rushed back from Xuchang, the Xuzhou family was almost completely defeated after this incident and completely surrendered to Lu Bu. At this point, Lu Bu's foundation in Xuzhou was completely solid!
