Before Liu Xie could react, Zhao Wen said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Zhang Xi became impatient, and just as he was about to speak, Yang Biao said again: "Your Majesty does not build a palace, but builds a school, emphasizes education and promotes a school, and sincerely works for a holy king. Although we are old, we should do our best."

Zhang Xi immediately closed his mouth and lowered his eyelids.

Liu Xie's brows trembled slightly, but he hesitated to speak.

Yang Biao, the old fox, has a high hat, suppressing him and Zhang Xi.

As far as he is concerned, not doing much construction can avoid further deterioration of the distressed finances.

As far as Zhang Xi is concerned, if there is no construction, Sikong, who is in charge of water and soil affairs, has no real power to speak of.

So knowing that teaching and enlightening is a thankless job, Zhang Xi can only accept it.

Seeing that Zhang Xi accepted the task, Liu Xie immediately discussed with them.

The matter of educating all the Huns can be planned slowly, but the matter of educating Huchuquan cannot be delayed.It is difficult for Huchuquan to return home. This is an opportunity to further subdue the Southern Huns, and it is also a rare opportunity to stabilize the northern border of the state.

If Huchuquan can be tamed and then supported as Shanyu, there will be no major changes in the Southern Huns for at least 30 years.

There is also a foundation for further education and integration in the future.

All ministers and ministers agreed with Liu Xie's plan.

This arduous task fell on Zhang Xi's head.

Zhao Wen taught Li Shi, and he taught Hu Chuquan, which was fair and reasonable.

Sitting on the hillside, Liu Xie discussed important court affairs with the ministers.Although the conditions are simple, the atmosphere is still active.There were many conflicts and differences, sometimes even sharp, but there was a basic consensus at the bottom, and the whole meeting still achieved considerable results.

Although Shi Sunrui hadn't finally taken Fan Xian down yet, there was Wei Gu's precedent, and Fan Xian's request to surrender was a foregone conclusion.

Zhao Wen and others suggested that Fan Xian should be dealt with in the same way.

People were killed as little as possible, but all property was taken away.

The reason is very simple, rebellion is a serious crime, not many murders are the grace of the emperor, confiscating property, preventing him from having the ability to make trouble again, is a must, and it is justified.

This is also a warning for others.

Of course, what everyone has tacitly said is that the imperial court is now clinking poor, waiting for the family property of Hedong Haoqiang to continue its life.

Those who are sensible should donate quickly, and there is no need to give it all. The imperial court also rewards them with official positions.

If you don't know a person, don't blame the court for turning his face, ransacking the family and destroying the family.

Anyway, the reasons are readily available.

The emperor is coming to Hedong, if you don't come to meet him and make contributions, do you still have the court in your eyes?

For these veteran officials who have been in officialdom for a long time, it is really easy to find some reason to punish them.

I didn’t do it before, it’s not that I can’t, it’s that I don’t want to.

Now that the emperor is in trouble, and they are saving money, they eat chaff and vegetables, and they suffer so much that they can't justify it if they don't take action.

With the righteousness of the monarchs and ministers, they did it with peace of mind and justification.

Liu Xie was in a good mood and invited them to a game barbecue.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Taichang Wang Jiang came forward, and all the ministers seconded, asking the emperor to return to the city.

The new year is approaching, and various ceremonies will be held. It is not suitable without the emperor, and it is not suitable to go out in the wild. It is more convenient to go back to the city.

This time, Liu Xie did not refuse again.

But he suggested that before returning to the city, I will take you to a place.

-

There is an independent small city in the northwest of Anyi City, which is said to be the place where Dayu became king, so it is called King Yu City.

Xia Yu has become a legend, and this small town is now the official office of the Tie Guan.

Pei Qian has been busy here for half a month.

After being ordered to assist Yang Feng to station in Hedong, Pei Qian suggested that Yang Feng lead his troops to station in Yanchi, but he himself took over the iron officer.

Will be outside, the king's life will not be affected.

Ad hoc measures are his power.

But after learning that the emperor was dissatisfied with Yang Feng, Pei Qian knew that his little thoughts could not be hidden from the emperor, and he had to remedy it.

So these days, he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, he used both soft and hard methods, and used both kindness and force, forcing the iron officials to operate at full capacity, and the fire was bright day and night.

Knowing that the emperor will bring ministers and ministers to inspect the iron official, Pei Qian ordered all craftsmen and prisoners to take turns to clean up the personal hygiene, and cleaned the inside and outside of the iron official to make it as clean and tidy as possible.

For those prisoners who might pose a threat to the emperor, he also transferred them away one by one, preventing them from having any chance to cause trouble.

He personally inspected the vests that the emperor valued most, touched each one with his own hands, and put them on the horses to check whether they fit.

The vests seized from the Xiliang Army were rough—at least in his opinion—and after improvement, the structure was more reasonable and the protection ability was improved a lot.

But in his opinion, everything is inferior to the stirrups drawn by the emperor.

He tried it himself. With these two stirrups, even the most ordinary knight can sit steadily on the horseback and charge with a spear.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that with these two stirrups, the three hundred armored cavalry will have a terrifying impact.

Pei Qian finished the draft, no matter what, he must strive for the opportunity to go out with the emperor this time.

Chapter 219

Pei Qian's hard work was not in vain.

Walking into Tieguan, Liu Xie, Zhao Wen and others showed great interest in the clean environment and orderly personnel arrangement.

It is understandable that the government office can be kept so clean, but it is rare that the on-site management of the workshop is so good.

In Liu Xie's view, Pei Qian's level, in the 21st century, at least at the level of a large-scale project manager, is more than enough to be alone.

Zhao Wen and others were greatly moved, they did not expect such a young talent in Hedong.

Among the children of the aristocratic family, there are not many with such practical operation ability.

The vast majority of people will not accept the other with their mouths, and the one with their hands is not as good as the other.

Pei Mao gave birth to a good son, Wenxi Pei's family had an opportunity, and they couldn't stop it.

After watching the scene, Pei Qian led Liu Xie and others to the official office and showed the prepared vests.

Zhao Wen and the others were shocked when they saw the improved vest.

They have witnessed how Li Jue's armored cavalry broke Shi Sunrui's position. If the emperor hadn't led the cavalry to attack and kill Li Jue, Wei Jie would not have escaped, and the entire Northern and Southern Army's positions would have been destroyed by more than a hundred armored cavalry. ride destroyed.

"How many vests like this do you have here?" Zhao Wen asked anxiously.

Pei Qian looked at Liu Xie, and after getting Liu Xie's consent, he raised his hand. "It is planned to build [-] pieces, and more than [-] pieces have been completed, and all will be delivered before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year."

Zhao Wen said "Oh" and didn't speak again.

He knew in his heart that no matter how much they persuaded, the emperor had made up his mind.

He definitely didn't think of it for a while, but he had already started to prepare.

Although the Son of Heaven is young, he has his own opinions, which cannot be persuaded by a few words of persuasion from veteran officials like them.

Xun Yu, Pei Qian, the emperor really trusted these young people.

In an instant, Zhao Wen was a little disheartened.

"Can this saddle be used?" Guang Luxun Deng Quan pointed to some new saddles and asked.

The biggest feature of these saddles is that the front and rear axles are relatively low, especially the rear axle.

The rear axle is low, which is not conducive to the stability of the rider.Horseback riding is better. When a knight strikes with a spear, he is easily pushed off his horse by the reaction force.This kind of saddle is not suitable for the knights of the Han army who have the advantage of attacking with spears.

Pei Qian glanced at Liu Xie again.

Liu Xie shook his head calmly.

When he proposed adding stirrups, he reminded Pei Qian to keep it secret and not to leak it easily.

Its level of secrecy is even higher than that of vests.

The target of prevention is not the Guandong Prefecture, but the nomads on the grasslands.

For the Huns and Xianbei, there is nothing to keep the vest secret. They even knew about it earlier than the Central Plains people, but they just don't have the ability to equip large-scale equipment for the time being.

The Xianbei people later used armored cavalry in large quantities because they controlled Hebei and obtained the resources and handicraft capabilities of the Central Plains.

However, the resources and processing capacity required for stirrups are limited, and even wooden boards can be used instead.

He didn't want to help the enemy open a cheat before the war started.

Pei Qian understood it carefully, and said perfunctorily that the saddle is not yet finished, and it is not in its final shape.

Although Deng Quan is a bit old, he is not stupid.Seeing Pei Qian and Liu Xie flirting, it is estimated that the emperor had made arrangements in advance, and he could not tell them, so he didn't ask any more.

Liu Xie immediately ordered Guo Wu, Zhang Xiu and others to try it out.

Zhang Xiu couldn't wait.Before Liu Xie finished speaking, he stepped forward, lifted the vest, and checked the vest's armor.

"It's so thick." Zhang Xiu picked it up, and then gave a preliminary estimate. "Even the strongest Xiliang horse can only support three assaults. After a long time, the horsepower is insufficient, and if it cannot catch up with the opponent, it will be useless."

Liu Xie was not surprised at all.

Of course, he can make Pei Qian make it lighter, and Pei Qian can do it even without his technical support.

It is nothing more than spending more manpower and material resources.

The hundred-smelting steelmaking technology in the Han Dynasty was already mature, but the cost was too high, and there were very few of them who had actually achieved one-hundred-smelting steelmaking.

"As far as I know, are there any elites on the grassland who can be armored cavalry for three assaults?"

Zhang Xiu shook his head without thinking. "If it was 20 years in the morning, perhaps the elite of Xianbei's commander-in-chief Tan Shihuai's royal court would have this ability. After Tan Shihuai's death, the Xianbei people continued to fight among themselves, one refused to accept the other, and they could no longer gather so many elites."

He swallowed, and said again: "Your Majesty, these vests are rare, and they need real warriors to be effective, and the Habayashi Knights may not be able to pick out so many warriors."

Liu Xie smiled and said nothing.

These three hundred vests were not prepared for Habayashi Qi, and Zhang Xiu's testing was useless.

The real sharp weapon must be in one's own hands.

If Zhang Xiu wanted to command the three hundred armored cavalry, he had to show enough loyalty.

Pei Qian then showed other weapons, including the [-]-fold black armor, the [-]-fold spear, and the [-]-fold ring-head long knife.

[-]% off armour, [-]% off spears, and [-]% off knives are rare boutiques, and it is difficult for non-true elites to equip them in batches.

Seeing these gleaming ordnance, Zhang Xiu scratched his heart.

Based on his experience, he can tell at a glance what kind of combat power the armored generals equipped with these ordnance will have.Theoretically speaking, as long as the command is proper, these three hundred armored cavalry have the ability to decide the outcome of any enemy.

The well-deserved main force of attack.

Pei Qian then introduced the progress.With the current manpower and material resources, by the end of the first month of next year at the latest, all the ordnance equipped with three thousand cavalry can be delivered for use.If we can add some manpower and raise some iron materials, we can advance a few days or increase production.

Liu Xie immediately discussed with Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi, and sent the iron materials and damaged ordnance that had just been seized from the Wei family, and prepared as much as possible.

"Your Majesty, military equipment is of course important, but agricultural equipment is also indispensable." Zhao Wen reminded: "Spring plowing is approaching, the registered permanent residence in Hedong is limited, and labor is insufficient. Prepare more well-made agricultural equipment so that you can cultivate more land. There is enough food."

"Situ Ruyan, it is an old saying." Liu Xie said with a smile: "But if the rebellion in Meiji is put down before the spring plowing, more cattle and horses are transported, and animal power is used instead of manpower, more land can be cultivated. If there are more prisoners , and can also be sent to the mountains for mining.”

Before Zhao Wen could speak, Xuanbo interjected: "Your Majesty, why wait until the Huns are captured, there will be one in Hedong."

In an instant, countless pairs of eyes looked over.

Xuanbo didn't change his face, and continued: "There are not a few wealthy and powerful households in the east of the river who steal iron ore and cast utensils privately. As long as we send someone to check it out, there are more than enough craftsmen and iron materials, which is enough for iron officials to double their size. As far as I know, many craftsmen were originally prisoners of iron officials, but they were exiled under various names and became private property."

When Xuanbo said this, even Pei Qian couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to salute.

"Your Majesty, I also found that the loss of craftsmen is serious, which is not normal. It is necessary to investigate."

Liu Xie nodded slightly. "Situ, Sikong, who should be responsible for this matter?"

Zhang Xi said first: "This is a matter of Hedong County, and the governor of Hedong should be in charge. If the governor of Hedong can't handle it, he can report it to Sili. The captain of Sili can't handle it, so he can ask His Majesty for instructions, either from the Sikong Mansion or from the Shaofu Yushitai."

Liu Xie looked at Zhao Wen and others.

Zhao Wen and Yang Biao nodded in agreement.
