Chapter 2578
The Artifact of the Kingdom
...
During the process of moving, Lu Jun looked at the Yuan family's army at this time, understanding the current situation of these people, and inferring the power of the Yuan family through the existing situation.
Even if what we see in this way is not so absolute, it can still serve as a certain evidence.
Especially after learning about the strength between the Xiandeng Death Soldiers and the Daji Soldiers, he became more interested in the current Yuan family.
Out of respect for Lu Jun, even though he knew that he could not waste time, Xu You still gave Lu Jun great freedom to visit everything in Yuan’s army.
It was precisely because of his trust in Lu Jun's ability that Xu You didn't even need to introduce him, as he completely believed that the other party could understand everything.
After all, in a way, the other party also had some credit for the Yuan family's failure.
However, Xu You did not feel surprised about this. If the reason for failure was attributed to this aspect, it would only show their incompetence.
"I've seen enough. There have indeed been great changes. Let's go and take a look at the city you built, the first city built outside the radiation range of the Han Empire." Lu Jun, who had fished out a lot of useful things, gave his final judgment to Xu You who was accompanying him.
Xu You, who had already prepared for the follow-up situation, directly ordered everyone to take the prepared carriage and then ride in the carriage to the north.
Ju Yi and Yan Liang, who stayed where they were, stared at the carriage going away and stood there for a long time.
"The enemy has already left. Should we retreat?" Yan Liang turned his head to look at the camp behind him. It seemed that they had already walked hundreds of steps away.
"What a pity. If conditions permit, it would not be impossible to see you off for ten miles." Ju Yi, who finally obtained relevant intelligence information from Xu You, still learned a lot of information about Lu Jun.
As for the previous defeat on the battlefield, Ju Yi had no intention of blaming Lu Jun at all. He was not as skilled as his opponent and lost. As for how to say it, that was something he needed to think and reflect on.
It can be said that compared to the failure on the battlefield, Ju Yi was actually more grateful for the equipment provided by the other party and the words of advice given at the time.
With such equipment, the journey he was about to take would have a greater chance of success.
It was also because of the words of advice he had received that he was able to get out of his inner confusion, return to his lord's command, and try his best to go all out!
"What exactly is the other party good at?" Yan Liang recalled in his mind, but he really couldn't find out who Lu Jun was, and he didn't even know which force he belonged to.
It can only be said that Yan Liang, who was overly obsessed with personal martial arts and training, and only wanted to repay his lord's kindness, knew very little in this regard.
But it is precisely because of this simple and loyal character that he deserves to be liked by people like Yuan Shao. Even the arrogant Ju Yi can say that this is his brother.
"The other party is good at many things, a lot of things, but according to the original agreement, I'm afraid that this time's arrival will make it a lot easier for us..." Ju Yi naturally also knew about the bet in the past, or the help in the past.
I used to think that the help was problematic, but now it seems that it is no different from giving it for free. Considering the time when the other party came, Ju Yi himself doesn't believe that there was no calculation involved.
Smarter people like Xu You, Shen Pei, Ju Shou and others would naturally not believe in this aspect. They would believe in something that seems difficult in China but is very simple after going abroad.
But even so, everyone pretended to be ignorant even though they knew the truth and wanted to get the corresponding rewards and bets first.
"So have you chosen a place?" Lu Jun glanced at the surrounding environment, then looked at the few accompanying personnel, and finally turned his gaze to Xu You.
"We've chosen this place. This is the place we've decided on." Xu You pointed directly at the empty space in front of him, and his tone was very serious. "Then I've made a deal. Construction is construction, but the corresponding money must be paid. In addition, we will not be responsible for any subsequent problems!" Lu Jun looked very official, with no personal emotions mixed in his face, which made people feel difficult to approach.
However, for Xu You, this was not only a win for them, but also an important assistance they received.
As for the money that needs to be paid, that is all laid out in the open to fool others.
If they had not left the Han Empire, Xu You would still think that the other party's idea was purely crazy and would continue to delay with them in this regard.
But it was precisely because he left the Han Empire and came to such a remote place, a place he had never heard of before, that Xu You clearly realized one thing.
That is the wealth that you are proud of, a huge amount of gold, which may be of no use at all.
No matter how much wealth you have, you cannot buy the corresponding materials or what you want.
It can be said that the obstacles encountered in this reality also washed away Xu You’s personal cognition and the cognition of many people.
The fact that wealth is not equal to actual material things has caused a change in the way many people think.
In this case, there was an apparent reason for Lu Jun to help them because he had lost his bet.
In fact, there is a transaction of money and technology, which seems reasonable and compliant without any flaws.
But the real reality is that those things are just to deceive people.
The traditional steel furnace manufacturing method that can produce more than eight kinds of steel with 100% accuracy and guarantee that there will be no problems in most cases is really something that you cannot find anywhere in the world.
It can be said that this kind of steel furnace, let alone a mere 100 million coins, even if it was 1 billion coins, or even 10 billion coins, the Yuan family would not frown.
More than ten tons of molten steel and molten iron are produced every day. With this manufacturing speed, even if they are really sold, the investment can be recovered in a short time.
Not to mention that this kind of thing can definitely be called a national treasure for a country.
With the existence of this kind of thing, whether it is the weapons and equipment needed by soldiers or the sickles and hoes needed by ordinary farmers, they can all be manufactured effectively.
For Xu You, this kind of ability and technology is something that every family in the world, not to mention him, would want.
But unfortunately, this technology is truly unique in the world and is completely controlled by the official Han Empire, making it impossible to get it.
Even with the connections of four generations of three officials, they cannot touch the core of this technology. Basically, other families have little chance of success.
It can be said that compared with the traditional steel furnaces made by other families, the ones made by this family are completely inconsistent with the drawings.
The steel furnace designed and manufactured by Lu Jun has an error of less than 1%, which is a result of real mastery and manufacturing.
