    When Cao Cao was recruiting troops across the country, Ao Lie was not idle either. He took out a huge amount of wealth and handed it over to the generals headed by Wang Hun and Ma Jun. He asked the thousands of skilled craftsmen working overtime to work overtime.  Rush to produce various military supplies.  In order to relieve the pressure on the general prisoners, Ao Lie also ordered more than 2,000 engineering students from Yenching Academy to come to the general prison to help when they had no homework.  Although the craftsmanship of these students is not necessarily superb, with their solid basic skills, there is no problem in giving a starting point to the craftsmen in the prison.  High investment will bring high returns. If you want general supervisors and engineering students to build a large number of large-scale destructive weapons such as red ballistae and play an important role on the battlefield, then the necessary investment is necessary.  Indispensable.  At this time, the powerful side of the Northern Han Dynasty was revealed.  After recruiting 500,000 soldiers, the money and food in the Northern Han Dynasty treasury dropped by one-third. The remaining two-thirds still need to maintain the military salary of these 500,000 recruits for one year. They must not be used easily, so to build an army  Funds and money for food and salary must be raised from various major states in the Northern Han Dynasty.  According to the different economic conditions of each major state, the governors of each state turned over a large amount of money and grain to the central government while ensuring the normal operation of state affairs. The total amount reached a terrifying 200 million yuan, which was almost as much as the inventory of the Northern Han Dynasty treasury.  Quite the amount.  This number is quite large, but it is very consistent with the economic proportion of a country. The central government's treasury deposits are equivalent to those across the country, which is the most significant indicator of a country's economic maturity.  However, with the full cooperation of the officials of the Northern Han Dynasty, and with Ao Lie citing a large number of governance concepts from later generations, the economic situation of the Northern Han Dynasty was really appalling, almost the same as the prosperous days of the Wen and Jing Dynasties in the past.  Among the major states, the ones that turned in the most money and food were Yizhou, known as the Land of Abundance, and Jizhou, which had abundant money and food; closely followed were Jingzhou, a vast territory, Jiangdong, a country with many rivers, and Jizhou, which had not suffered any damage in the past ten years.  The war-torn Bingzhou; in the third echelon are Guanzhong, where the war has just calmed down, and Liangzhou, where the folk customs are strong.  As well as the three states of Guang, Ming and Tong, which have developed rapidly in the past few years.  Jiaozhou was unable to deliver money and grain in time because it was too far away from Yanjing. However, Jiaozhou Mu Shixie used a loan to borrow money in line with the economic conditions of the state from Yizhou Mu Xu Shu, and Xu Shu took over on his behalf.  Shi Xie was transported to Yanjing together. Afterwards, Shi Xie raised money and grain from Jiaozhou and sent them back to Yizhou.  Not all state pastoralists in these major states pay money and food invariably.  Instead, they replaced part of the money and food with items of equal value based on the specialties of each place. For example, Liangzhou used Liangzhou horses to replace 30% of the money and food, while Yizhou used refined iron and steelmaking to replace 20% of the money and food  ¡­The advantage of this is that it can source materials locally and save money on transporting food to Yanjing.  The procurement process also needs to be sent from Yanjing, which virtually saves a lot of costs.  What Ao Lie didn't expect was that Xiao Ru, who was far away in Fusang, also sent support. He fully demonstrated his talent in politics and sent people to send money and food for twenty large ships. He was almost able to coordinate with Guang and Ming.  The total amount of money and food turned over by the three major states was equal.  Moreover, Xiao Ru not only sent a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, but also Fusang's specialties - fruits and dried fish.  The so-called fruit.  It does not refer to something like snacks, but a plant that matures twice a year. It is both beautiful and delicious. It is a fruit with a very refreshing taste and can also fill the stomach.  Dried fish needs no further explanation, it is Fuso¡¯s most famous specialty.  Rich in nutrients and unique in taste.  These two things made Ao Lie's eyes light up. If these two foods are paired together and a small amount of staple food is added, it can be regarded as a very good meal. The most important thing is.  Fruits and dried fish are good at preserving, not perishable, and have high nutritional value. This kind of meal can keep the army's lieutenants and soldiers full at the same time.  It can also ensure sufficient physical strength and exert full combat effectiveness in battle.  After tasting some fruits and dried fish, Ao Lie immediately asked two famous doctors, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, to make a judgment and put together a variety of recipes with excellent taste and rich nutrition as a regular meal in the army.  standard.  He also ordered that according to the fruit seeds and cultivation methods provided by Xiao Ru, large-scale planting began in areas with a similar climate to Fusang. He also asked coastal areas to carry out quantitative fishing production according to Fusang's method of making dried fish.  Make military rations.  Of course, Ao Lie would not do anything to fish out of the lake. He did not want to see damage to the natural environment. All fishing activities would be carried out under the unified command of the government to avoid the risk of causing harm to future generations.  After recruiting a large amount of money and food, Ao Lie refined the focus of the next step of work into two aspects.  On the one hand, he ordered generals at all levels to intensify military training under the coordinated command of Gao Shun, Xu Rong and other military training masters, in order to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and to unify the steps and reach a tacit understanding with the original elite soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty; on the other hand, Ao Lie  A death order was issued to the general prisoner, and he was ordered to kill the general within five months.?Expanded to a standard where millions of people can fight at the same time.  With strong fighting power, sophisticated equipment, and the military spirit that Ao Lie deliberately cultivated in the army, if these three points can be perfectly combined, Ao Lie has reason to believe that he can defeat the last force that dominates the world.  It is not too difficult to resist and uproot Cao Cao's power!  Within the next six months, the whole Northern Han Dynasty, with Ao Lie as the core, was closely united, like a huge and precise machine, and began to operate vigorously.  Let the whole world change color!  Even people who are not interested in politics have clearly felt the tension before the war. The two countries of Northern Han and Wei, and the old enemies Ao Lie and Cao Cao, have finally reached the moment of real decisive battle.  All the soldiers of the two countries are already gearing up. In the intense preparations for war, they are ready to follow the orders of their respective monarchs and step onto the battlefield at any time.  In the blink of an eye, it¡¯s midsummer.  After a heavy rain, Ao Lie came to the military academy ground in Yanjing alone and stood quietly in front of the towering Martyrs Monument for a long time.  The Monument of Loyalty and Martyrs has gone from being empty at first to being densely packed now, with the names of many people engraved on it. Some people even left no names at all, only a simple code name.  Ao Lie reached out and brushed over these names one by one, and the expression on his face gradually became serious.  The reason why the Northern Han Dynasty is as strong as it is today is inseparable from the martyrs who left their names on the loyalty monument forever. Without the efforts of these people who were not afraid of life and death, there would be no Northern Han Dynasty.  Today, it is these respectable and lovely martyrs who laid the foundation of the Northern Han Dynasty with their lives. It is also these martyrs who composed a tragic song of life with their blood, which lifted the Northern Han Dynasty to the clouds!  In Ao Lie's heart, they will always be the cutest people!  With those martyrs whom he knew or did not know in his heart, Ao Lie could not calm down for a long time.  For the sake of these martyrs who died on the battlefield, for the common people who yearn for peace, and for the long-lasting peace of future generations, Ao Lie and the Northern Han Dynasty behind him can only win, not lose, in this battle!  Ao Lie stood motionless in front of the Zhonglie Monument all night. When the sun rose the next day, Ao Lie returned to his palace.  He wanted to selfishly leave the last bit of time to his family.  Although the specific date of the expedition has not yet been set, that day will not be too far away. Before that, Ao Lie wants to spend some time happily with his family.  He couldn't guarantee that he would be able to come back alive in the upcoming war, so he had to use his limited time to enjoy endless happiness with his family.  During this period, Ao Lie clearly felt that the relatives around him had made great changes for him.  Master Wang Ao, uncle Tong Yuan and grandfather Ao Laozhang have lost their serious faces and are like three old naughty boys. They like to come to Ao Lie to chat and joke when they have nothing to do; father Liu Yu no longer looks like  As harsh as before, whenever he looked at Ao Lie, his eyes were always filled with relief and encouragement, and the corners of his mouth were often inadvertently curved in an exaggerated way; his mother, Mrs. Ao, resumed what she had not done for a long time.  Needlework, sewing decent and elegant robes for Ao Lie stitch by stitch; Sun Shangxiang is no longer as brutal as before, but has become extraordinarily gentle; Needless to say, Cai Yan and Zhen Mi are affectionate all day long  He looked at Ao Lie tenderly, as if an unmarried girl had seen the young man she liked; Xiao Liu Kun also changed his behavior as a young adult and returned to the nature of a child, following him day and night.  By Ao Lie's side, it seemed that even he had a premonition that his father would face the most difficult test in his life, a test of becoming a king and defeating a bandit Family made Ao Lie feel endless warmth, and at the same time brought him  Gave him endless motivation.  The names of the martyrs on the loyalty monument and the warmth brought by their families gave rise to thousands of thoughts in Ao Lie's heart. In the end, all the thoughts were merged together and transformed into eight characters: Just to win, not to win.  Seek death!  On the first day of August in the second year of Kangxi and Qianlong, Ao Lie gave birth to his second child. The child¡¯s mother was Zhen Mi.  This child is a girl, very cute in pink and jade, and her appearance is vaguely similar to that of little Liu Kun. As soon as she was born, it was already foreseeable that she would be a beautiful embryo that would conquer the country in the future.  Ao Lie immediately named the girl Princess Changle, which meant that she could live a happy life.  However, it was also on this day that Ao Lie didn't even have time to choose a name for his newly born daughter, so he had to leave his newborn daughter behind and embarked on a journey with 500,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty.  "I will give you a name when my father comes back." This was the first sentence Ao Lie said to his daughter. At the same time, this was also a promise, a promise made by a father to his daughter.
