After receiving Lu Ren's reply, Sun Quan discussed it carefully with his staff, but he really couldn't understand why Lu Ren valued craftsmen so much, and even said that you would despise craftsmen, and I don't want my precious craftsmen here to be bullied when they come to you. Of course, this is caused by their historical limitations, and the concept of social class such as "Shinong and Gonggong" is also firmly engraved in their bones.

But no matter what, Lu Ren made it clear that he was unwilling to lend the craftsman to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan wanted to get the manufacturing process of steam ships because of the needs of the war, so he naturally chose to send a study group to Yizhou for further study. But in Sun Quan's opinion, Lu Ren definitely made a bad move. Just imagine, how can you easily teach your own secret recipes to others? Is Lu Ren's generosity also a little too much?

Of course, Lu Ren is not as bad as they thought, so I won't say much here. By the way, after Zhuge Liang returned to Jingzhou, he immediately invited his wife Huang Yueying to go out, and also organized a group of people to go to Yizhou to study, the focus is to learn the theory of the steam engine. Although Liu Bei's group and Sun Quan's group both came with steam engines, there was a difference in the details, that is, Liu Bei's side was eyeing the land railway, while Sun Quan's side was mainly eyeing steam-powered ships.

Looking back, let's just say that Sun Quan has a very headache here, that is, the fuel used in steam-powered ships. If the steam engine wants to get enough heat energy, where is it enough to burn firewood? When Lu Ren gave Sun Quan the thirty-two ships, although he said that he had brought some coal, how could he withstand Sun Quan's toss? and all that was divided by two was burned out. At this time, if you use firewood, it will obviously not be able to keep up.

So, Sun Quan urgently sent someone to ask Lu Ren if he had any coal to sell, and Lu Ren's reply was that you didn't occupy Yuzhang (that is, Nanchang in later generations, and it was also the hometown of the bottle, hehe!). region? More than 500 miles to the west is Pingxiang, go there to dig by yourself, don't even meow this bit of coal to buy from Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu himself is not enough here to say. On the other hand, if you Sun Quan dig a lot, remember to sell it to me again, and you can still trade more to earn foreign exchange through exports......

Well, when Sun Quan saw the reply, the two eyebrows almost didn't screw together, and said Who are you Lu Ren? How come it is so clear where there are special minerals in my Jiangdong?

If Lu Ren is present, he will talk nonsense! Pingxiang Coal Mine is a well-known southern coal mine in China in later generations, is it good? Moreover, Jiangxi is known as "treasure Tianhua", and in addition to the coal in Pingxiang, tungsten, copper, rare earth, uranium, tantalum and niobium are also Jiangxi's "five golden flowers". Although Laozi's Yizhou and other places also have a certain amount of coal production, Laozi uses a lot here, and he can't stand the toss, and human resources are also relatively tight.

Therefore, sending a ship to Sun Quan is also another trick of Lu Ren, which is to induce Sun Quan to dig coal...... Lu Ren's human resources here are relatively tight, but Sun Quan's one is not a problem, so it is more convenient for Sun Quan to take the initiative to dig it himself, and then Lu Ren will buy some from Sun Quan.

In addition, I have to say again, why did Lu Ren build a railway in Guiyang? If you look at the map, you can see it. Pingxiang is located in the west of Jiangxi, Changsha is about 100 kilometers northwest of Pingxiang, and Guiyang is less than 250 kilometers southwest of Pingxiang. When the time is ripe, Lu Ren plans to set up a railway from Guiyang, either to Changsha, or directly to Pingxiang.

Two hundred and fifty kilometers, counting the things to pay attention to when erecting the railway, it is three hundred kilometers. But for the railway, 300 kilometers is not a casual thing? To put it bluntly, Lu Ren is making advance preparations for his future energy supply problem. So Lu Ren never minds that you Sun Quan knows about coal, and even wishes that you Sun Quan would dig quickly and hard, the more you dig, the cheaper it will be for Lao Tzu to buy here.

After pulling Lao Cao and Sun Quan in this period, it's time to talk about Liu Bei. Liu Bei's group was divided into two roads at this time, guarding Jingzhou's nest one way, needless to say, Liu Bei on the other led troops into Shu. Although it was originally under the banner of helping Liu Zhang attack Zhang Lu, but now in the spring of the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang have turned their faces and started fighting.

It may be because the Jingzhou scholars looked down on Lu Ren before and played tricks on Lu Ren twice, but they provoked Lu Ren to be ruthless twice, Liu Bei, who was fighting in Shuzhong, once had some problems in the supply of military supplies, so Liu Bei quickly sent Pang Tong back to Jingzhou to help Zhuge Liang get rid of those Jingzhou scholars who didn't know Lu Ren's depths, but he didn't expect Pang Tong to escape a catastrophe because of this, and he didn't die in Shu. But also because Pang Tong pulled back for a while, Liu Bei lacked a person to give advice, and the pace of seeking Shuzhong was slowed down a lot because of this, and now it is still deadlocked at several passes.

But Liu Zhang's life is not easy. Didn't Liu Zhang send someone to support the second son of the Gu family in Nanzhong before? Liu Zhang's purpose is actually to disrupt the situation in Nanzhong, and then he can deal with Liu Bei wholeheartedly. But because Nanzhong sent Deng Ai to intervene in the past, Liu Zhang's goal was not achieved, and Liu Zhang felt that Nanzhong would pose a direct threat to Chengdu if it was not done well.

There are some things that can't be hidden, Lu Ren's support and support for the ethnic minorities in the Nanzhong region, how could Liu Zhang not receive some news? In Liu Zhang's opinion, Lu Ren is the same as Liu Bei in the Shuzhong region, so it is precisely because of this that Liu Zhang will think of disturbing the situation in Nanzhong to buy time. It's just that Liu Zhang underestimated Lu Ren's influence on the ethnic minority tribes in the Nanzhong region too much, and the second son of the Gu family couldn't make any trouble at all.

This is Lu Ren's own considerations, and he doesn't want to have any direct conflict with Liu Bei Group, otherwise he will really let Deng Ai move a knife against Chengdu. But on the other hand, Lu Ren also planned to use a knife against Liu Zhang at the right time to bring out some blood on Liu Zhang's body. This is not to occupy any territory, Lu Ren also understands that he can't control it if he occupies it, so the purpose is to help Liu Bei more or less, and then achieve the desired pattern in Lu Ren's heart.

With it, you can also improve the relationship between yourself and Liu Bei, after all, you still expect to buy more good things from Liu Bei's Shuzhong region in the future. Especially after the road to Myanmar was opened, the Shu brocade produced in the central Shu region was loaded from Myanmar and sold to the western region, which was a lot of money.

So Liu Zhang's side has a little bit of a taste of facing two enemies at the same time. And the central Shu region was taken down by Liu Bei, but it was just a matter of time......
