Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 4902 Mass Manufacturing

Li Jiayou nodded, but this nod is not a guarantee that Guishuang will not pass through Congling. In fact, this is impossible. If you find a mountain road and don’t care about the time, you can do it anyway. past.

What Li Jiayou said was that even if Guishuang came in, there would be some big troubles in Xinzhou. After all, Liangzhou people were severely punished by the captains of the counties when they had medicinal herbs, enough food, and meat to eat. He has practiced for several years, and he doesn't brag about it. Among these soldiers, those who have gone out to hunt wild food and have done illegal occupations, if they are pulled into the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they can all be regarded as righteous soldiers.

According to Li You's suggestion, there are ten counties in Liangzhou, each of which has 5000 people, and Chen Xi has not completely divided Yongzhou and Liangzhou. Although there is a concept of Yongzhou, Yongzhou has no history of governors, and Liangzhou and Sili still maintain the unity of the past. , Guanzhong people and Liangzhou people still maintain the spirit of warriors, and together they are called Yongliang.

Therefore, 5000 people from each of the ten counties means that the Chang'an treasury will get [-] armors. The lining and long weapons do not need to be reissued. That is, fifty-two swords Xiliang cavalry.

Therefore, Li You is not worried at all about Fu Ward coming in. With this configuration, even if Fu Ward really enters Xinzhou, he will be killed by the [-] Xiliang Iron Cavalry who robbed his head. As far as the soldiers are concerned, it is a wonderful thing for someone to send meritorious deeds from thousands of miles away.

"Fifty thousand horse armor, do you have any?" Liu Bei ran to fight cocks with Yuan Shu and others, probably elephant birds are also a kind of chicken, then Li You turned his head to ask Chen Xi.

"Yes, but you have to wait for the spring to finish the maintenance and drying of the horse armor." Chen Xi nodded and said, "No one uses horse armor this year, and they are all in the treasury. They have to be maintained at the beginning of the year to save them from being eaten by insects." or the armor is rusted."

"Send the equipment directly and let them maintain it by themselves." Li You waved his hand and said, "Less useless processes, making so many horse armors, you are too idle to panic."

"That wasn't the time when scale armor was made. Hydraulic forging hammers produced a lot of iron pieces in one batch. Then you said that scale armor was inferior to plate armor. Then the forge in Sanmenxia mainly made plate armor." Chen Xi explained casually, " The excess iron pieces were used to make horse armor."

Chen Xi didn't turn the corner at the beginning, or it was simply that Chen Xi didn't use his brain at the beginning. When he produced armor in the early days, he mainly used scale armor, because Li You didn't even know that Chen Xi was repairing a large waterwheel in a place where the Yellow River was turbulent. The hydraulic forging hammer, and Chen Xi didn't look at it himself, Li You said the scale armor was good, so Chen Xi placed an order for 40 scale armor.

This is why Liu Bei's entire army was covered in scales during the early military parades.

In fact, Li You said at the time that the scale armor is good because the scale armor has strong defense, good flexibility, and relatively light weight. It is much easier to use than leather armor, and more importantly, it saves iron.

However, at that time, Chen Xi had already started to lead his men to build indigenous blast furnaces, and the output of indigenous blast furnaces was simply against the sky for this era, so the plan to produce scale armor was quickly stopped. The problem was that semi-mechanical, Assembly line production of iron armor...

Chen Xi has already produced iron armor pieces enough to arm millions of people. The plate armor was produced in the back, and the production line was redesigned. The production speed is faster and the defense is stronger. A little bit, surpassing the scale armor in an all-round way.

So what to do with the iron armor that is enough to arm millions of people is a big problem. After all, even if this thing is used as a lining, it is not as good as leather armor, so it is very embarrassing. If it is rebuilt, the cost will increase. The fire consumption made Chen Xi feel like it was not worthwhile to start the furnace.

Fortunately, when he saw Zhang Jaw later, Chen Xi found a way out for this enough to make hundreds of thousands of scale armors, plus the hundreds of thousands of scale armors that had already been made - horse armor.

Needless to say later, Chen Xi has hoarded horse armor on such a large scale that one might think that someone might have a certain brain problem in the Tibetan military warehouse in the northern state capital.

"Let me ask, how many pieces of scale armor did you produce in the past?" Li You was silent for a while, "How do you feel that you have eliminated this thing since Yuanfeng years ago, and there are still so many after elimination, and I heard It is said that there are still a lot of iron armor pieces in the treasury, and they are all rusted."

After asking this question, Liu Ye and Lu Su groaned and looked at Chen Xi. The two of them knew very well, who made one of them help Chen Xi and the other help Chen Xi manage the ordnance.

"Well, didn't you say that the scale armor was easy to use back then? It's light, has strong defense, and has good flexibility. It won't limit the performance of soldiers." Chen Xi pondered for a moment, and decided to throw the blame. He really didn't want to admit that he made it. The scale armor that can arm about 150W people.

After all, there was no large-scale consumption of shipbuilding in the early days, only the consumption of farm tools and scale armor weapons. Chen Xi built a lot of them based on the idea that scale armor would be the future development direction.

"I just want to know how much you made. I know you like to collect things. How much did you collect? 70?" Li You looked at Chen Xi and asked.

"150 million." Lu Su replied in place of Chen Xi, "A total of scale armor pieces were produced enough to arm 150 million regular troops, because during the reign of Qingxu and Yanzhou, Zichuan's processing factory only produced farm tools, weapons, and scale armor. Armor."

Li You covered his forehead, he had some migraines, should it be Chen Zichuan?Are you crazy?With so many nail pieces produced, it's hard to even deal with them now.

"I didn't know back then. You said scale armor is good. I found someone to design the hydraulic forging hammer and blast furnace. After I arranged the production scale for them, I didn't care about it." Chen Xi was also very helpless. It's the time when Chen Xi works the hardest, okay? There are so many things to do, and if the arrangements are made, there is really no extra time to take care of them.

"You two didn't care at the time?" Li You looked at Lu Su and Liu Ye and asked.

"At that time, we implemented the system of redundant officials. A legion was equipped with officers and deputies for the purpose of expanding the army. At that time, we were prepared to have 30 regular troops, and when needed, it would explode to 100 million in a short time, including reserves and wealth quotas. , We really didn't think there was a problem." Lu Su sighed and said, "But didn't we change the equipment later?"

"Then you made nearly 100 million plate armor in a short period of time?" Li You looked at Chen Xi and asked, "You are really capable!"

"My set of equipment is used to make iron plates!" Chen Xi said with a dark face, "You said you want scale armor, so I made scale armor. The scale armor requires a lot of hammering."

That's right, for a hydraulic forging hammer, making plate armor is easier than making scale armor. Except for the first design, the efficiency will be greatly improved after the design is completed.

"How do you deal with these scales now?" Li You asked curiously.

"As a supplement to the plate armor joints and other places, and what is left, if you don't want to dismantle it, you can half sell it and give it to those guys who go abroad, and the rest will be made into horse armor." Chen Xi said expressionlessly, "Anyway, it is Waste utilization, it can be used a little bit."

"About 50 horse armor?" Li You looked at Chen Xi and asked.

"Don't worry, we will have 100 million horses sooner or later." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "In about ten years of Yuanfeng, there should be 70 horses. The horse armor will be used up sooner or later."

Li You looked at his hand, lifted it up, and gave Chen Xi a thumbs up.

"It's nothing to worry about. Today we solved the part that might be blocked by the big families. Tomorrow will be the big hole." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, there wasn't much to cover up, and the heads of the big families eavesdropped on him and didn't care , Anyway, what to talk about tomorrow, I guess these people also know it well.

"The problem is that all the major families will need help for everything tomorrow." Lu Su sighed, and glanced at his father-in-law twice from the corner of his eye. The big family is also aware of this dangerous experiment.

"I've been finalizing these since today, and I've pushed forward tomorrow. What are they talking about? No one is messing with me. What can I do if I can't read?" Chen Xi said angrily, "I want to teach ordinary people something. stuff, but I don’t have many skills, so I’d better be realistic.”

"Population first, education first, or economic restructuring first?" Zhuge Liang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

"Population and education cannot be solved in a short time. The economic structure should be adjusted first. I have worked hard to integrate villages and villages. Many problems have been solved, but there are still many problems that cannot be brought up. I think it is really impossible. The monarchy has become a dictatorship." Chen Xi said with a sigh.

"I can only continue to sink and open up villages. Supply and marketing cooperatives are not the best choice, but now I don't even have any extra choices. It's nothing!" Chen Xi was furious when he mentioned this, and Mi Zhu was silent when he heard that a lot of.

"Why don't I bring together the top [-] wealthy businessmen and have a good talk with them." Mi Zhu sighed after a while and said, all of their networks can't penetrate into every aspect of the country. It is impossible for everyone to add up. After all, businessmen want to pursue profits.

Where there is money to be made, of course there are more merchants crowded, but in remote places where money is not made, then it has to be more realistic. Given the current situation in the mainstream villages of the Han Dynasty, the shops of major luxury merchants are opened in the past, let alone making money Yes, it's not bad to die.

At present, in the mainstream villages of the Han Dynasty, there are a group of traveling merchants who buy certain materials from these big tycoons, and then sell them from the county town or county town to villages in various places.

Chen Xi runs a supply and marketing cooperative, and the things they sell are basically just-needed supplies, and they are half-official and half-business in nature. If a wealthy businessman comes to do it, he will die, and it goes both ways!
　The last day of the end of the month, if you have votes, vote quickly. There is nothing to say about the fight against Shule yesterday. Liangzhou fought against Shule several times. According to the marching distance, it was actually 2800+ kilometers. , did not fight down, so since then the Han Dynasty has not had the excellent ability to govern the Western Regions. In the third year of Emperor Ling Jianning, Meng Tuo, the governor of Liangzhou, sent 40 Dunhuang soldiers to serve as generals, and Wuji Sima Cao Kuan and Zhang Yan, the governor of the Western Regions, led more than 500 people from Yanqi, Qiuci, and Cheshi to attack Shule and attack Zhenzhong City. They could not go down for more than [-] days and led them away.
As for Liu Ju, there is the original text in the Han Dynasty, "Drove tens of thousands of people from the four cities to the west gate of Changle, met the prime minister's army, and fought together for five days. Tens of thousands of people died, and their blood flowed into the ditch. Many, the prince's army was defeated, and ran south to the city gate of Fu'ang, and came to the conclusion that "the guests of Suibu were the generals, and they fought with the prime minister Liu Qu and others. Disturbance in Chang'an, saying that the prince was rebellious, so the people did not attach. The prince was defeated and died. , No." These two are the original texts of the Han Shu about Liu Ju's positive actions. From this point of view, the reason why Liu Ju lost was not because the people could not defeat the Northern Army and Jianzhang Yingqi led by the prime minister, but because the people It is confirmed that the prince rebelled, and it can also be seen from here how outrageous the combat effectiveness of the common people after obtaining the equipment under the national military service is. Wan Dajun may not be able to defeat 2000 million people, and then take the initiative to choose a slow attitude. As for the abolition of national military service, the Huns next door are still alive, and they are determined not to abolish it.
