The opening of the Three Kingdoms is Gatling

Ding Shuai was slightly taken aback, and replied seriously,

"I tell the general, it's not difficult to make weapons. It's just that the technical department of the armor has always been kept secret, and it's hard for ordinary people to get it."

Ding Shuai is telling the truth.

In ancient times, the strict control over the manufacturing methods of weapons and armor was no less than the control over nuclear weapons in modern society.

"I have a blueprint here, take a look first."

Hua Xiong handed Ding Shuai the blueprint of the Mingguang armor taken out of the system space.

Ding Shuai didn't take it seriously at first, but after turning a few pages, his eyes widened.

"General, where did you get this blueprint?"

"This is drawn by me." Hua Xiong said without blushing.

"This armor is simple to make, and its defense is extremely strong, surpassing all armors today. The general is really a god!"

Ding Shuai couldn't help sighing, and looked at Hua Xiong full of admiration.

Hua Xiong was a little embarrassed to be seen.

He coughed lightly and asked, "If I ask you to build enough armor for 5 people, how long will it take you?"

Ding Shuai thought for a while, and said a little embarrassedly,

"Although this pair of Mingguang armor is simple to make, it still takes a craftsman three months to make it."

Insert a sentence, \app \ is really good, it is worth installing, after all, there are many sources of books, all books, and fast updates!

"Nowadays almost all the blacksmiths in Chang'an City have been conscripted into the army. It may take a long time to make armor for 5 people."

Hua Xiong pondered for a moment.

"What if you were asked to recruit people now?"

"No."

Ding Shuai didn't even think about it, and immediately shook his head and vetoed it.

"A commoner may only need to train for a period of time to become a soldier. But if you want to become a qualified blacksmith, it will be impossible if you don't have a year or so."

Now Hua Xiong felt a little tricky.

Although there are iron materials and blueprints, but nothing can be made, what should I do?

Hua Xiong paced back and forth in the camp, lost in deep thought.

At this moment, his eyes fell on the creek not far away.

Looking at the gurgling water, Hua Xiong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had an idea.

He turned around and asked Ding Shuai.

"I have an idea. I can build [-] armors in three months!"

"This is impossible!"

Ding Shuai thinks that Hua Xiong has lost his mind.

Gao Shun and Huzi beside them also shook their heads.

They all know that building a suit of armor is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

It is absolutely impossible to build [-] armors within three months.

Faced with their doubts, Hua Xiong chuckled and looked at Ding Shuai.

"It does take a year and a half for a newcomer to become a qualified blacksmith. But what if he is only allowed to master one of the steps?"

Ding Shuai, Gao Shun and Hu Zi were all startled.

They didn't understand what Hua Xiong meant.

Hua Xiong explained his thoughts to the three of them.

The steps of Mingguang armor are cumbersome, and there are dozens of steps in total.

Even if it is made by a qualified blacksmith, he will have to spend a long time to get familiar with it, let alone a newcomer without any experience.

But Hua Xiong's idea is very simple.

Divide the soldiers in the barracks into several groups, and each group does not need to master the whole process of forging, but only needs to master one of the steps.

This greatly speeds up the training process.

After hearing Hua Xiong's method, Ding Shuai slapped his thigh and couldn't help sighing,

"This method is good! It may only take one day of training, and the newcomers can start to build! Generals are indeed generals!"

"General, how did you come up with this idea?"

"so amazing!"

Gao Shun and Hu Zi looked at Hua Xiong with reverence in their eyes.

Hua Xiong just smiled without saying a word.

His inspiration also comes from the assembly line of the factory in modern society.

As long as he followed his method, it would not be a problem to build [-] armors within three months!

Immediately doing what he said, Hua Xiong immediately recruited [-] soldiers and asked Ding Shuai to train them separately.

Although the initial process was bumpy and bumpy, a lot of iron was wasted.

But after just one week, three thousand soldiers have successfully started, and the bright light armor they have created can be regarded as a masterpiece!

Seeing this situation, Hua Xiong didn't hesitate anymore, and directly dispatched [-] soldiers.

After a brief training, the ten thousand soldiers began to busy themselves with forging armor.

But soon Huaxiong encountered new problems.

Iron is not enough.

The iron materials given by the system are only enough to make half of the weapons and armor.

This gave Hua Xiong a headache.

The ancient government had very strict control over salt and iron, let alone in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.

The iron mines in Xiliang are firmly guarded by Dong Zhuo's cronies, and no one can touch them.

In desperation, Hua Xiong had no choice but to find Wang Yun again.

Wang Yun twisted his beard, pondered for a moment, then smiled,

"I think you can find Niu Fu, he can help you get iron."

"Find him? Let's forget it."

Hua Xiong pouted.

He and Niu Fu are in the same boat.

How could Niu Fu give him iron material?

Wang Yun smiled and said authentically, "You copied their three grain stores, and now the price of grain in Chang'an City is skyrocketing. Excluding the Grand Master, you are the only one who has grain in hand."

Yes.

Hua Xiong's eyes lit up.

I have food in my hand, so I don't worry about whether Niu Fu is not tempted.

So Hua Xiong thanked Wang Yun, and went straight to the Ministry of War excitedly.

In the Ministry of War, Niu Fu is talking with several subordinates.

A soldier reported that it was Hua Xiong who had come to ask for an audience.

Niu Fu's face suddenly turned cold, and he snorted softly, "This guy has the nerve to come to visit, no see!"

When the messenger was about to leave, a middle-aged man next to him smiled and said,

"General, why don't you go see him?"

Chapter 28 The poisonous Jia Xu

Niu Fu snorted coldly, with an expression of displeasure.

"Hey, I have a sworn feud with Hua Xiong, what's the point?"

The one called He is Jia Xu, Niu Fu's counselor.

He chuckled and said softly,

"Since Hua Xiong came here, he must have asked the general for something. Besides, our army is short of food and grass. Except for the Grand Master, only Hua Xiong's army has surplus food in the entire Chang'an City. We might as well meet up."

After listening to Jia Xu's analysis, Niu Fu pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, then listen to you and go meet this fellow.

in the lobby.

Hua Xiong saw Niu Fu with a cold face.

"I'm busy with business, so talk quickly and fart quickly!" Niu Fu said impatiently.

Hua Xiong didn't get angry because of Niu Fu's bad attitude, instead he laughed and said,

"General Niu, I'm here today to talk to you about a business."

"what business?"

"The grand master ordered me to train the new army. Although the problem of food and grass has been solved, there is no iron material to make weapons."

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

"I heard that General Niu is in charge of the military department, and he has a lot of iron materials on hand. How about this, I exchange grain and grass for iron materials, what do you think?"

"Impossible! Just give up your heart!"

Niu Fu directly refused.

Just kidding, he and Hua Xiong are in the same boat.

No matter how short of food there is, it is impossible to give Hua Xiong iron.

Hua Xiong frowned slightly.

He didn't expect Niu Fu's attitude to be so firm.

Just as he was thinking about how to persuade Niu Fu, Jia Xu next to him tugged on Niu Fu's sleeve.

Niu Fu hesitated for a moment, then said in a muffled voice, "Wait a minute, I have something important to attend to."

He took Jia Xu to the next room, a little unhappy,

"Hey, what do you mean by that? Don't tell me you want to intercede for Hua Xiong?"

Jia Xu smiled and shook her head.

"General, you misunderstood. I just think Hua Xiong's proposal is good."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Niu Fu looked disapproving.

"Even for skilled blacksmiths and craftsmen, it will take a year and a half to build qualified weapons."

An advertisement, the book chasing app I've been using recently, !

"Nowadays all the blacksmiths and craftsmen in Chang'an City have been conscripted into the army. Even if Hua Xiong is given iron materials, where can he find enough craftsmen?"

"And if we get food and grass, we can solve the current food shortage situation."

Jia Xu's analysis made Niu Fu nod his head.

In order to make a profit, he sold all the military rations to the grain store under his name.

As a result, Hua Xiong ransacked all the food and grass, and now his army is facing a shortage of food.

It's not that Niu Fu doesn't want to trade iron for food, but he doesn't want to increase Hua Xiong's strength in vain.
