Why is this happening? Yuan Tan doesn't know. Anyway, this is a very strange joke. There are so many people in Yuntai, and with Liu Xiu's generosity, none of them have won the title. But except for a few of these families, the others are inexplicable. There are just no descendants.
Just like why Wan Peng's life is so tragic, he was also the first to join Dong Zhuo's team. His qualifications are not inferior to those of San Sha, and his talent is not fake, but he is inexplicably an outsider among the Xiliang cavalry. state.
To put it bluntly, it is because the Wan family has been extinct once. After the elimination of the country, the country will select the outstanding children from the branch families to regain the title. But this kind of thing can never happen again, and now there is only one legitimate son left in the Wan family. In this case, the Wan family would deceive Wan Peng back into Dong Zhuo's every battle. If he couldn't deceive him, he would be knocked unconscious and trapped.
Under such circumstances, it's a wonder that Wan Peng can grow up. This is why he is obviously a very early general, but now he is not as good as Zhang Xiu.
It is really because Wanpeng is unable to participate in most of the battles that are important to the Xiliang Cavalry. The Wan family's situation is doomed. Their family will never let their legitimate son participate in such a potentially fatal war. Struggle To the Wan family, the significance of being is really not as great as having an heir.
"In short, the situation of Yuntai's group is very confusing, and we don't really know what it is." Yuan Tan sighed and said, Yuntai's group used to be the largest force in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the result was inexplicable. Out of the circle.
Originally, the political and military power controlled by these families could fluctuate with the ups and downs of the country as long as there was no country-destroying disaster. However, in fact, most of these families did not wait until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He has already withdrawn from the circle due to various reasons.
"That's it." Wen patted the Pope who was still eating and said to Yuan Tan with a calm expression, "I really haven't paid attention to these things."
"It's normal. If the clan elders hadn't told me these things, I wouldn't have known about them." Yuan Tan shook his head and said, "In fact, most of the time, we only focus on our opponents, and what happens to others, we I won’t go into it in depth.”
Wen nodded, then patted the Pope beside him, diverted the Pope's attention, and then said to Yuan Tan, "Husband, I remember that we have several gem mines in the west near the Ural Mountains. Bar."
Yuan Tan nodded when he heard the words, and the pope who was nibbling snacks on the side was stunned. The snacks in his hands suddenly lost their aroma. He casually placed the snacks on the tea tray aside, and then looked at Yuan Tan with bright eyes. It turns out that our family There really are gem mines.
"I'll organize the manpower to dig." The pope said excitedly.
Yuan Tan glanced at the Pope, then looked at Wen, shaking his head repeatedly, wondering if he could understand what was going on. It was obvious that his little wife had been deceived by his eldest wife.
There are indeed mines, and there are several of them. The Yuan family also deceived Liu Tong and expressed their willingness to give Liu Tong a gem mine. Of course, how to get here and how to build the road were all agreed upon, but Liu Tong was very smart and said Forget about the mines, just send more gems every year.
So this plan fell through. After all, gems are of little significance to people's livelihood. From a scientific perspective, the value of gem mines is not even as good as white crystal mines.
However, it is still meaningful to use it as a luxury product to improve people's happiness. However, the scale of this thing is really too much. Yuan Tan himself has no interest in gems. He gave it to Wenshi before, and Wenshi was not interested either. big.
Therefore, I didn't pay too much attention. Only then did I realize that there was another person in their family who was not from the Han culture circle. The Pope followed the rules every day, and his hair and pupils also changed to the color that Yuan Tan was accustomed to, so that Yuan Tan It has long been ignored that the Pope is a foreigner.
Chinese culture is completely inclined towards jade when it comes to gems and jade, but the Pope’s shining eyes finally made Yuan Tan realize that it is still of some use, and it can be used to please his little wife. After all, the little wife is also a wife, and it is related to the family home. harmonious.
"If you want to open a mine, you can do it, but you can only recruit Celtic people who have completed the smelting work." Yuan Tan nodded to the Pope, thinking that it was to increase the Pope's happiness. Anyway, put it there. It's of no use. If the Pope likes it, that would be great.
It is obvious that even if the Pope is a complex of evil gods, it will be difficult to withstand the impact of gems in the end. After all, the evil gods she combines with are also evil gods in the European cultural circle. Gems are still very precious things, and evil gods also like this kind of thing.
Therefore, the next day after the Pope had eaten and drank, he went to visit his dear Celtic people. To be honest, the Pope rarely came to the Celtic people. He rarely came here before, and later he slapped a group of Celtic people to death. Celtic tribe leader, after eliminating the Celtic hidden danger, the Pope no longer wants to come.
But at least the Pope and Xu You finalized all the details at that time, so life on the Celtic side was much better when he came back. After all, the Celtics had smelting and casting technology that was among the best in the world during this period. level.
Without the tribal leader holding them back, the Celts worked obediently to earn a living, and the integration speed was much faster. After all, people who rely on work for a living will not feel like they are dependent on others, especially if they are capable of doing well. You won’t feel dissatisfied when you are recognized by others.
Therefore, when the Pope came to inspect, the Celtic people were still very happy. Sure enough, compared to the unreliable tribal leader before, their Celtic star of hope, the Pope, was more reliable. Therefore, after hearing that the Pope came and said that he was looking for someone to help open the mine, many Celtics said the location without any questions about the salary, and then they went there with their own weapons.
Fortunately, the Pope calmly said that you should complete the casting and smelting task first, and then go to the mining industry. Under this premise, the Pope successfully selected more than 500 young men, and these are all completed. Young people with casting and smelting tasks.
From this point of view, Xu You's job for the Celtics is indeed not heavy. Of course, a big part of it is that the Celtics' current smelting technology is still at the forefront of the world, and the quality of the ore here is really good. , there is no need to waste too much time screening minerals.
"Your Highness, it's like this. We have always wanted to tell you about this before, but you have never been in the country." At this time, a knight commander who looked more prestigious hesitated and saluted the Pope.
"What's the matter?" The Pope looked at his men with some worry. To be honest, since the last incident, the Pope was a little worried about these men of his. Will they be able to eat and drink well under Yuan's command? If you insist on seeking death, what will happen this time?
"It's like this. Last year, the previous tribe leader sent people to Great Britain to transport some of the war horses we had previously bred to arm our knights." The knight commander looked at the Pope's unhappy look and said, He quickly explained.
"That's it, there's no problem with that." The pope's main job is to manage the sacrifices, and he generally doesn't care about actual things. Therefore, the pope has no idea what the newly bred and domesticated war horses of the Celtics look like. The Celtics didn't even know what the hell they, the Celtics, had done, and asking about it was more of a show of loyalty.
"However, it has been almost a year since we set out, but those people have not come back yet, and those people are also the confidants of the former tribe leader. If they receive the news from us, they will hide and connect some people with the current situation. People who are dissatisfied with life..." The knight commander said carefully, this was a bit too much, but it was true.
Most have no ambitions, and the vast majority of ordinary Celtic people are satisfied with their current lives, but there are still some ambitious people among the Celts. The Pope's approach last time was too brutal, although there are quick swords to cut through the mess. The gesture did leave quite a few hidden dangers.
After all, in the previous handling, after the Pope killed the main envoy, he did not continue to dig deeper. He just wanted to stop here. Xu You saw the Pope's violent methods and was willing to give the Pope a face. , so I did not continue to dig deeper, and let bygones be bygones from now on.
But this does not mean that those who were let go realized their mistakes and lived a good life. In fact, there are such people, but not all of them. Guys who are unrepentant can be found everywhere, so if there is a connection between the inside and outside, It's also troublesome for the Celtics.
"Just keep an eye on the inside and don't let problems arise inside. Those guys may have died in the ice ocean." The Pope said calmly, and the knight commander quickly lowered his head after hearing this.
"But we still have horse farms in Great Britain." The Pope asked curiously.
"There are quite a few. I heard that there were newly bred war horses, but we were driven out of Great Britain before we had time to arm ourselves." The Knight Commander said sadly.
"That's it." The Pope said haha. She didn't want to go back to the poor and remote areas of Great Britain, where she could have nothing and be beaten by Rome. Isn't it good here? I have everything I want, and the old Yuan family and the Han Empire provide protection. It's great. Why go back?
"Find a few people who know about this matter to understand the situation." The Pope thought for a while and said. Although he didn't know what their newly bred Celtic war horse looked like, he had some knowledge. If the war horse was of good quality, they could Send someone to get some from Great Britain.
What, you said that Great Britain now belongs to the Romans and there are still troops stationed on it? Hey, I'm not going to capture it, I'm just going to steal it, hehe.
Did the Romans know the terrain as well as they did the Celts? Of course there is no such thing, so I’m not afraid at all.
