When Zhang Yuan heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face:

"Captain, are you in such a hurry? General Liu (Liu Hun) hasn't returned to the army yet, why don't you wait?"

"No more waiting." Feng Duhu stood up and exhaled, "Since I have decided to agree to Tuoba Desert Khan, I will definitely show off to Tuoba Xianbei in the next few years."

"It doesn't matter whether we see Liu Hun or not."

If Tan Shihuai led Xianbei to rise for the first time, then Kebi can barely be said to have brought Xianbei people back to their former glory.

Now that Tuoba Liwei wants to come for the third time, he has to ask Feng Duhu for his opinion.

Liu Hun and Tufa Khe established them. In addition to cutting off the source of Youzhou's war horses in various senses, they were also responsible for monitoring the annexation between tribes on the grassland and preventing anyone from unifying the grassland.

Tuoba Xianbei is now mainly active in the northern part of Monan.

Before the Han Dynasty had Sanxing, the Han Dynasty had no energy and no time to go out on expeditions.

We still need to solve the problem in the Central Plains first.

Liu Hun and the others are doing quite well now, and there is no need to make any major adjustments.

Feng Duhu rubbed his brow, looking helpless:

"After returning to Chang'an, I will send someone to bring you a plan."

The wives of the left and right are not around, and no one can help make suggestions, whether in terms of political power or military situation.

In addition, being far away from Chang'an, I was unable to grasp the recent specific trends of North Korea and China in a timely manner.

Feng Duhu was somewhat unable to do his analysis of Tuoba Xianbei or the mobilization of troops in Hedong.

In other words, as Jianghu gets older, he becomes less courageous and dare not jump to conclusions as easily as before.

This is also the reason why Feng Duhu decided to leave Pingcheng early after learning about the incident in Hedong.

After Zhang Yuan exited, Feng Duhu sat there with his eyes closed, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, he felt someone gently rubbing his temples.

Without opening your eyes, you can tell it's Li Mu just by smelling the powder on his body.

Among the four wives and concubines plus a mistress, Li Mu was the one who had the most knowledge about perfume.

After all, she comes from a noble family.

I guess I learned exactly when to use what kind of powder.

Just like now, with a little fragrance, it makes people feel calm.

"Busy working?"

Feng Duhu closed his eyes and enjoyed Li Mu's service, and asked.

"There's nothing to be busy about. In the wool spinning workshop, we already have a mature process."

Li Mu knew what Feng Duhu was asking and replied:

"Although Liangzhou's model cannot be directly applied, if it is modified according to the situation of the merged state, the difference will not be too much."

Feng Duhu hummed:

"You have experience in this matter, so you can do whatever you want. However, Jiuyuan and Yanmen are the foundations of our Xinghan Association, so you should be more careful."

When Liangzhou was recaptured, the prime minister was still there.

There are some things that Feng Duhu can't make the decision and he can't let go.

But Jiuyuan and Hepingcheng are different.

That was obtained in exchange for a considerable portion of the benefits from the Xinghan Consortium, and it was regarded as protecting the country's borders.

Otherwise, except for organized white gloves like the Xinghan Society, who would take such a big risk and come to the long-abandoned borderland to educate Hu Yi?

"I understand."

Li Mu paused and then suggested, "If Alang is worried, why not ask my brother and the others to come over and take another look?"

Feng Duhu smiled, opened his eyes, and tried to tilt his head back, trying to take a look at Li Mu's face:

"You, sister, are really merciless to your own brother. Are you really going to use it to your death?"

"For so many years, the couple has been running around here and there, and they have never settled down."

"Even the clan helps take care of the two children, so it's hard for them. Even if they don't have any merit, they still have hard work."

"Since I promised them to settle in Chang'an in the future, I must not break my promise. If it doesn't work, let them send a few disciples to come and take a look."

Hearing what Feng Duhu said, Li Mu felt a little embarrassed:

"I just want them to be able to take solid credit for their achievements, so that no one will say that they borrowed Alang's power."

When Feng Duhu heard this, he burst into laughter, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes:

"No matter how solid they are, won't there be anyone behind the scenes saying that they borrowed my power?"

With the Prime Minister as a template in front of them, those who come after will always subconsciously hold themselves to the Prime Minister's standards.

And others will, consciously or unconsciously, judge the successors who succeed the prime minister by the standards of the prime minister.

It's just that historically, there was only one prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty.

And I'm afraid the palace doesn't want to see the second prime minister appear again.

Regarding this point, Feng Duhu was very self-aware.

"If you have merit, you will be rewarded. If you don't reward your own people for their merit, will others be convinced by you?"

Thinking of what happened these days, Feng Duhu became a little irritable again:

Maybe your concession will be viewed as weakness by others.

"Xu Sanniang is called "Everyone", and your brother's contribution is also behind this. Xu Sanniang has no way to become an official, but if you let your brother take a position under Da Sinong, no one will say anything."

When Li Mu heard this, he was surprised and happy.

As a Lang, I personally arranged for my brother to take a certain position, but this position is probably not too small.

"Is it okay? I'm just afraid that someone..."

She wanted to say, "I was afraid that someone would say that A Lang was partial to others," but when she remembered what A Lang had just said, she swallowed the second half of the sentence.

"If there's anything wrong, you can go back and ask him for his opinion and see if he has any ideas."

Li Mu blurted out without thinking: "What could he have in mind!"

After finishing speaking, I realized that this statement was a bit inappropriate and quickly explained:

"As his sister, I naturally know what he thinks."

Feng Duhu smiled, it seems that Li Tong will probably live in the shadow of Li Mu for the rest of his life.

He wanted to stand up, saying that it might be too difficult for him to surpass his brother-in-law.

But at least we have to surpass President Li, right?

It's just that despite the fact that President Li has no official position now, the resources she has at her disposal are not enough for ten Li families, let alone one Li Tong.

Li Mu's massage helped Feng Duhu regain some of his condition:

"Where's Amei? She's not back yet?"

"No, she has always been mysterious after arriving in Pingcheng."

Feng Duhu smiled strangely: "I am busy making the tripod, so naturally I have to be a little mysterious."

Li Mu:??

Feng Duhu didn't explain. On the second day, he went to the mine to inspect the situation.

Then the barbarians in Pingcheng discovered that as winter was coming, the thunder in the mountains was getting more and more loud.

"Alang, iron still won't do it. For now, copper is the most suitable."

Amei held a folder in which extremely complicated test data was recorded.

She looked down at the data and said seriously:

"Of course, the quality of the iron smelted here in Yanmen this year is much better than before. Maybe we can try copper-iron composite."

"Bronze is copper." Feng Duhu nodded, a little helpless.

"But where are we going to find all this copper?"

"It didn't happen before, but it's not necessarily the case now." Feng Duhu patted the big cauldron beside him, "A silver mine was discovered over at Langshan Mountain. I plan to exchange this silver mine with the court for some copper."

The copper mine in Nanzhong has been mined for so many years, so the imperial court must have a lot of inventory.

Even if there is no inventory, it doesn't matter. The worst thing is to make an installment payment.

After reflecting on what he had encountered recently, Feng Duhu felt that he should speed up the process of building the tripod.

Practical application may have to wait for a while, but it is possible to build a big cauldron to scare people who don't know what is going on.

Who says a big tripod must be square?
