The World of Yellow Sky

He once almost died on the battlefield because of the inferior quality of the weapon.

Tian Zhong remembered that time very clearly, when the Huan Shou Dao in his hand collided with someone else's blade, it was broken into two pieces on the spot, and in the end it was Zhao Ji who desperately rescued him back into the formation, thus escaping his life.

"Most of the craftsmen nowadays rely on their own experience to forge weapons and equipment. The quality of each batch of forged weapons and weapons cannot be uniform, and there will be more or less gaps. Some good skills are being taught. At that time, most of them were jerky and difficult to understand, and some of them could only be understood but not expressed in words, so we need to build laboratories.”

"Establish a laboratory, go through a lot of experiments, that is, repeat the casting process many times, and record various data, that is, record the number of forgings, the size of the flame, the time used, all these numbers, and finally select For the best results, roll it out."

Tian Zhong seemed to understand, but Yan Lun's eyes were bright.

He understands equipment and casting, so he naturally knows the advantages of the method Xu An mentioned.

Now many blacksmiths in Taihang Workshop have their own casting methods, which are more or less different, and most of them are unwilling to pass it on to outsiders, so in fact the weapons produced are very different, and there are even many substandard products.

"There is one last thing."

Xu An turned to look at Yan Lun who was beside him.

"You need to be responsible for this matter."

Yan Lun's face was solemn, and he cupped his hands without hesitation and said, "But according to the instructions of the great virtuous teacher."

The moment Yan Zhong made the choice to join Taipingdao and serve under Xu An's curtain, the Yan family was completely tied to the chariot of Taipingdao and stood by Xu An's side.

Although in Liangzhou, the Yan family still has a few collateral branches, but if the Taiping Dao fails, then the accumulation of the Yan family over the past century will be wiped out, leaving only a little blood inheritance.

The Yan family placed most of their bets on Xu An and Taipingdao.

"In the workshop, another building will be built on the periphery of the inner city. This building will be built according to the specifications of the middle schools in Jinyang and other cities."

Xu An slowly stood up and spoke.

"A school should be established in all the workshops. All the craftsmen's children will go to the workshop to attend classes in the spare time of the helpers. It is tentatively scheduled to study in the workshop for ten days in January."

"Craftsman School, Taipingdao assigns Fu Zhu to teach literacy and debate, and then recruits craftsmen in the workshop to teach craftsman skills."

Xu An cast his eyes out of the window, looking at the hot scene outside the window.

The Taihang Workshop is currently the largest workshop of the Yellow Turban Army. In other places, the Yellow Turban Army has also opened many workshops, but there are not many craftsmen.

This time, there were not many craftsmen among the people in the four states, and most of the craftsmen who mastered a certain skill were recruited and controlled by the government.

However, the military equipment needed by the Yellow Turban Army is increasing day by day. The current workshop can only maintain the current situation. If the Yellow Turban Army expands its army, it will be unable to support it at all.

But military expansion is absolutely imperative in the future.

When all the heroes rise together and the world competes for the throne, there will be the most frequent wars. At that time, it will not be a situation where the Yellow Turban Army can't fight if they want to.

Under the impetus of the idea of ​​great unification, the ancient China will never be divided like the West.

There will only be one side who wins, and the rest will become stepping stones.

Now the Yellow Turban Army has 8 to 3 reserve troops, but the standing army has less than [-].

Xu An could defeat Zhu Jun with 3 to [-] people, and he could also defeat Lu Zhi with an allied army of [-] to [-] and [-] to [-].

But he had no choice, nor any possibility, just relying on 3 to [-] people to sweep the world and sweep across China.

When Bingzhou set the tripod, Xu An stood on the high platform and spoke clearly.

Before victory is achieved, someone must die.

Bloody China, don't stop, it's not a slogan.

But if you want to win, you really need the blood of the victims to infect the whole of China.

The old rulers will never sit still, nor will they be merciless. They will use the most drastic means to suppress rioters, rebels, and uprisings.

The Han court, aristocratic families, and tyrannical powers are all obstacles that stand in the way of the Yellow Turban Army.

Xu An needs to arm more people. Arming 100 or 1000 people is just a drop in the bucket. What he needs to arm are tens of thousands of soldiers, thousands of soldiers.

Therefore, the establishment of a craftsman workshop is imperative.

Once the craftsman workshop is established, as long as the Yellow Turban Army survives the most difficult period, the workshop will continuously send craftsmen to the Yellow Turban Army.

And those craftsmen will join the workshop when they have completed their studies, casting weapons, armors, and everything they need for the Yellow Turban Army.

The existence of laboratories and workshops will slowly turn traditional skills such as casting, ironmaking, textiles, and woodworking into a discipline, a discipline with theories, specific data, and teaching materials.

And when casting, ironmaking, textile, woodworking and other skills become a discipline, it will further promote the systematization and standardization of Yellow Turban Army craftsmen and workshops.

The implementation of systematization and standardization and the establishment of disciplines will also promote the development of technology in a certain aspect.

Just relying on experience, relying on personal wisdom, pinning on a flash of inspiration, pinning on the probability of accidental occurrence, the development of science and technology will inevitably be slow, or even stagnant.

"In the north of Jinyang City, a new school will also be established, which is currently named 'Taiping Road Craftsman School'. The school in each workshop can recommend outstanding students to go to further studies. Anyone who starts from 'Taiping Road The craftsmen who graduated from the craftsman school will be awarded the certificate of intermediate craftsman upon graduation, and directly awarded the salary of the fourth-level craftsman."

Xu An opened the wooden door of the house, and the experience hall was quiet, all the eagle wolf guards bowed their heads in salute.

"The Taihang workshop will be handed over to the three of you. I will send someone to escort the rest of the craftsmen to the new workshop in late January next year. I hope you can arrange all the affairs well then."

After Xu An finished speaking, he led Xu Huang, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and others out of the house.

"Congratulations to the great virtuous teacher."

Zhao Ji, Tian Zhong, and Yan Lun hurriedly got up and bowed to salute, all the Tiqi of the Eagle Wolf Guards all made their voices together.

Xu An didn't stop all the way, and walked out of Yinglangwei's office directly.

Seeing Xu An's eyes looking elsewhere, Xu Huang asked, "Would you like to take a look at the government office of Taihang Workshop?"

After hesitating for a while, Xu An still said, "Forget it, time waits for no one."

Xu An stepped on the horse, the Yellow Turban Army still had a long way to go, and everything basically started from scratch.

"We are in Jinyang, and there are still many things to do."

Xu An turned his head and looked to the west, which was the direction of Taiyuan County, where Jinyang City was located, and also the most core area of ​​Taiping Road.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was ruled by powerful families, not by ordinary people.

The Yellow Turban Army and the aristocratic family stand on the opposite side, and in this era, those who can read, read, and learn knowledge are precisely the aristocratic aristocrats.

If it was during the Song and Ming Dynasties, "It is to rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, not with the common people."

At that time, there may still be frustrated scholars, children who have repeatedly failed, or at least those who can read and write.

But in the Eastern Han Dynasty, at this time, it was really difficult for ordinary common people to read big characters.

Although the Battle of Jizhou was won, Xu An also discovered many shortcomings of the Yellow Turban Army.

He must take advantage of this rare and stable time to correct his mistakes as much as possible, and understand the ills that exist within the Yellow Turban Army.

The establishment of artisan workshops and laboratories, as well as systematization, standardization, and the implementation of the four-wheeled carriage and saddle-style mounting method are logistical innovations.

And now he is going to Jinyang for military and civil reforms.

The Yellow Turban Army was advancing. During the war with the Han Empire, Xu An was not blinded by the momentary victory. Instead, he saw his own shortcomings through combat.

It can't just rely on practice, only rely on blood and sacrifice to train soldiers and officers, that kind of sacrifice is too great.

And not every army is lucky enough to get just the right amount of exercise.

History has proved that if an army has good training and qualified officers, its combat power can reach a high level, even if they have not experienced the baptism of bloody wars.

Because they will quickly adapt to the battlefield under the correct leadership of the officer by relying on the skills they practiced during the training in the first battle.

The Mongolian school trains people who can read and write, while the county school and the national school train officials in civil affairs.

And the Daotang cultivates the talismans who are proficient in the scriptures of the Taiping Dao and master various miscellaneous studies.

The newly established workshops and schools train craftsmen, craftsmen who forge weapons and make equipment.

Schools for civil affairs, workers and workers all exist, but the most important school for the current Yellow Turban Army has not yet been established.

Xu An is now rushing to Jinyang. The first thing he has to do is to supervise the first military academy of the Yellow Turban Army.

Chapter 463 I'll Eat the Pot of Syrup to Welcome the Master Wang

Jinyang City is full of bustling scenes at the beginning and end of the city. Although it is getting late, Jinyang City in the past has already closed its doors at this moment. There was a lot of voices.

Today is New Year's Eve, the last day of December in the fifth year of Zhongping. After today, a year has passed and we have officially entered the first year of Yonghan.

On New Year's Eve, the curfew in Jinyang City was also lifted by the Yellow Turban Army.

When the lanterns are lit, the lanterns will gather together, converging in the streets and markets, like flowing streams.

Most of the residents of Jinyang City did not stay at home, but walked out of their homes and joined the stream.

The stream was flowing slowly towards the east gate of Jinyang City. Some people were standing on a high place looking forward to it, and some were looking around among the crowd, as if they were looking for something.

On the street, groups of soldiers in dark blue uniforms walked among the crowd with long sticks. They were the newly established department of Taipingdao, named "Police".

Pre-warning is called "police", and "police" is called "cha" in Jianweizhi's works. The word "police" used together contains the meaning of investigation and arrest.

Although military control helps to maintain order, they dare not make trouble easily.

But there are also many disadvantages. The military control is strict. Although the attitude of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army is not bad, and there is no bullying, but under the military control, many places are restricted.

The second is military management. The energy of a large number of full-time soldiers is wasted in the interior, just to maintain law and order, which is too expensive.

Moreover, they are soldiers, and the training they receive is not about maintaining law and order, or hunting down criminals. All the training they receive is relevant training on the battlefield.

With the increase of wounded soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, the increase of local cases, and the financial problems of the Yellow Turban Army, various circumstances prompted Xu An to change this situation.

The "police" department came into being at this time.

Some of the wounded soldiers rescued by the Yellow Turban Army on the battlefield will never be able to return to the battlefield.

Because of the "Health Regulations" and "Nursing Manual" compiled by Xu An, many wounded soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were saved from death, but they still suffered from injuries. The injuries they suffered made them disabled. Make them unable to go to the battlefield again.

It also makes them no longer able to be competent for some manual labor, farming, and working are unrealistic.

Naturally, Xu An couldn't let these soldiers who fought for Huang Tian suffer bloody battles and were wounded all over their bodies, but when they left the battlefield with all their wounds, they couldn't survive.

For themselves, for others, and for the family members behind them, they risked their lives on the battlefield and fought bloody battles in order to realize the world of Huang Tian. Should they be discarded when they are useless?

Xu An couldn't do it, and he couldn't do it.

However, the Yellow Turban Army's finances were helpless, and Xu An was asked to give large sums of money and food to these soldiers who retreated from the front line due to injuries.

Xu An couldn't even pay too much for the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle.

The agricultural tax collected this year has only just reached a balance of payments, and most of the Yellow Turban Army needs to gnaw on their old foundations and gnaw on the money they won from powerful families to maintain.

There is no such thing as salary in the Yellow Turban Army. During the five years from the first year of Zhongping to the fifth year of Zhongping, there was no such thing as a salary for generals including Liu Pi and Gong Du, whether they were military commanders or ordinary soldiers.

But in this world, it is not easy to have a place to settle down, to be fed and clothed.

Following Xu An's footsteps and Huang Tian's footsteps, they walked towards victory step by step, and their lives gradually improved.

Those Han soldiers who originally had salaries didn't have too many complaints about things without salaries. Their salaries were only a little, and their lives were a bit unsustainable.

But now that they have joined the Yellow Turban Army, they no longer need to worry about the pressure of life. Their families have joined the Mintun army. The Yellow Turban Army will not just sit back and watch their wives and children have nothing to eat. They are allocated fields and farm tools.

And the regulations in the Yellow Turban Army are very clear. The military achievements you gain on the battlefield will never be swallowed up. If you hold the enemy's head, you can exchange it for fertile land, and you can exchange it for money and food.

I will no longer be corrupted, ignored or robbed, and I will not be superior, as if being scolded by superior officials.

The preparation of the police station was already in Xu An's plan, so the earliest literacy classes were set up in the wounded barracks.

Wounded soldiers with more serious injuries and higher degrees of disability were assigned to do some civilian work.

Wounded soldiers with lesser injuries were assigned to front-line jobs, but they were generally of the management type, such as patrol captains, training officers, and the like.

The Jinyang Police Department was formally established under such circumstances.

Most of the first batch of police officers were selected from the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, and a small part were recruited from the original residents.

After the establishment of the Police Department, it began to take over the defense of Jinyang City and the task of maintaining law and order step by step from the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.

Because it was still in its infancy stage, Xu An did not directly promote the police system, but started from Jinyang, and then gradually promoted to Taiyuan County, Bingzhou, and other states and counties.

Governing a big country is like cooking small fish.

Now the territory under Xu An's rule is no longer the original [-]-mile Taihang with tens of thousands of soldiers, nor is it just a small area of ​​Shangdang County with tens of thousands of people.

Under the current rule of the Yellow Turban Army, there are nearly 300 million people and 120 troops, occupying [-] counties and [-] eight cities.

During this period of time, the residents of Jinyang City have also begun to adapt to the existence of the police. Because of the existence of the police, the law and order in Jinyang City has not become chaotic due to the withdrawal of the Yellow Turban Army, and the order has not been destroyed because of this, but it has become more and more serious. Stablize.

The west gate of Jinyang City was bustling with people at this time, and lanterns gathered together to form a sea of ​​lights.

"Please stand on the sides of the street, not near the center."

Holding a long stick and wearing a dark blue military uniform, the police shouted loudly and led the crowd to disperse to both sides.
