Lord of the People of Online Games

　　 In the blacksmith's shop in Xia Town, a Han sword and a Han sword are laid out. These are all silver-grade weapons made by a senior blacksmith of the Han army.

　　 This senior blacksmith was captured by water bandits, and now he lives in Xiazhen again.

　　 Chu Tian looked at both the Han Jian and Han Dao carefully: "Sword or sword is better?"

　　The blacksmith replied: "Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. If the county lieutenant wants to equip the army, he is the best choice."

　　 "Why?"

　　 "Single blade is cheaper than double blade."

　　 "……"

　　 Chu Tian listened to the explanation of the senior blacksmith, and it was really justified and convincing—after all, it was a question of money.

　　 "Why are bronze swords more common?"

　　 Chu Tian thought of the Bronze Age, as if the bronze sword was the main melee weapon.

　　 "Copper and iron are treated differently and cannot be compared."

　　 "That's it."

　　 Chutian summoned the blacksmiths in Xiazhen to build standard weapons in batches.

　　 The complete equipment of an infantry can include swords, armor, shields, spears, and crossbows.

　　 The better the equipment, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

　　 "Those who commit crimes against me will be punishable even if they are far away." There is a saying in the Western Han Dynasty that one Han soldier is equal to five Hu soldiers. If Hu Bing uses the same weapons of the Han army, then one Han soldier can only fight three Hu soldiers.

　　 Behind the weapon represents the financial power and resources of the territory.

　　 "If you want to save the cost of producing weapons, you can set up a blacksmith shop near iron mines or rivers to reduce the production cost of weapons by saving transportation capacity."

　　 Xia Liang, who manages finances, followed Chu Tian, ​​and gave Chu Tian a simple calculation.

　　 "Shangbi Town has secondary iron ore resources, and the iron ore that can be mined is higher in quantity and quality than other villages and towns. A three-level blacksmith shop will be built in Shangbi Town to build weapons, armors, and arrow clusters."

　　 Chutian arranged for officials to go to Shangbi Town with the drawings and asked the local mayor to immediately start upgrading and expanding the blacksmith shop.

　　 Weapons and armor became a specialty of Shangbi Town.

　　The weapons built in Shangbi Town were transported to Xia Town for storage in case of emergency. Swords are durable. If they are used too many times, they will curl on heavy armor, and they will rust if they are not well maintained.

　　 Similarly, the maintenance of crossbows is more cumbersome and may even affect the outcome of a war.

　　 Bronze-level weapons are ordinary weapons, used by most troops, silver-level weapons are used by elites, and higher-quality weapons are used by special arms or generals, provided that they have the capital to build weapons.

　　 "Do you have the ability to build iron armor?"

　　 Chutian asked the best dozen blacksmiths in the town.

　　 Chutian couldn't help but jealous when he saw the equipment of the Han army in Guangzong County.

　　 Sima in a camp, dozens of soldiers under his command, all equipped with iron armor.

　　 Xia Town is still not so rich and powerful, the few iron armors are still the spoils seized from the battlefield, all for the generals to use.

The senior blacksmith whispered: "The villain can make silver-grade mysterious iron armor and iron armor. The mysterious iron armor is divided into two parts: armor and sleeve armor. The two armor only protects the chest and back. The sleeve armor also protects the shoulders. , But the price is more expensive, and flexibility is also slightly lacking. The iron cap is the helmet."

　　The mysterious iron armor sounds very majestic, but it is actually a black iron armor.

　　 "How much silver taels does a silver-grade iron armor cost?"

　　 "At least a few taels of silver."

　　Expensive, it is expensive to build an infantry equipped with mysterious iron armor.

　　 There is still a lot of gold, silver, and copper in the warehouse in Xia Town, but various buildings have to be expanded. The budget for the army is only part of the financial expenditure.

　　 Military expenses also include the distribution of military salaries, the raising of war horses, the creation of crossbows, swords, halberds, shields, arrows...a month, the salary of professional soldiers alone exceeds one thousand taels of silver.

　　 "Make fifty pairs of two mysterious iron armors."

　　 Chutian asked senior blacksmiths to create a batch of Han Dynasty mysterious iron armors.

　　 "Lord" can also create bright light armor, armored equipment, medieval plate armor, these are higher-order iron armor, the cost of building equipment is also very high, otherwise the value of heavy cavalry will not be so high.

　　 It’s not that the heavier the heavy armor, the better. The heavy iron armor used by infantry will affect the mobility of maneuvering on the battlefield, and the burst time is also very short, because the physical strength will be exhausted soon.

　　 Chutian intends to give these fifty new Han Xuan Jia to Xiliuying.

　　 Xiliu Battalion is a Tier 6 infantry, and can make up a team of infantry equipped with Han Xuanjia to stand in front.

　　 Han sword, Han Xuan Jia, these are common equipment of elite infantry of the Han army.

　　 Most soldiers in Xia Town still use leather armor.

　　Considering the production of equipment is very cumbersome.

　　 Chutian rubbed his temples with some headaches. Unlike the lord in the impression that thousands of armors were produced immediately, he even had to make careful calculations to make fifty pairs of iron armors.

　　 is mainly poor.

　　 "My lord, the merchant of Mi's resident in our Xia Town came to see you."

　　 When Chutian was distressed about the expense of fifty iron armors, the merchant of Mi's family came to the door.

　　The rich man is here!

　　 Chutian welcomes Mi's merchants.

　　 The business in Xia Town is not big for the Mi family, but this time Chutian wiped out more than a thousand water bandits, and Megatron helped the Mi family solve a problem in southern Kaiyang County.

When the merchant of 　　 Mi's family saw Chu Tian, ​​he had already taken his backs and respected him, not to mention that Chu Tian and Mi Fang had friendship.

　　 "Thanks to Lord Lieutenant for destroying the bandits, this is a letter of thanks from our Patriarch."

　　 Someone presented Mi Zhu's letter to Chu Tian.

　　 It is not Mi Fang who is in charge of Mi's family property, but his brother Mi Zhu.

This time Chu Tian finally got in touch with Mi Zhu~www.wuxiaspot.com~ probably because of Mi Fang. Mi Zhu first thanked Chu Tian for destroying the water bandits, and then bluntly said that the materials robbed by the water bandits were given to Xiazhen as military resources for free. Also comes with one thousand taels of silver.

　　 "It is worthy of being a huge rich in Xuzhou, who can easily give out a thousand taels of silver. Or, this is Mi Zhu's diversified investment, and every Xuzhou force is betting."

　　 One thousand taels of silver shouldn't be a big deal to the Mi family.

　　 For Chutian, this money is very important in the early stage.

　　 "I have always admired the demeanor of the master of your house. It is a pity that the master of your house just don't drive."

　　 Hearing what Chu Tian said, the merchants of the Mi family couldn't help wondering: "Why did the county lieutenant say this? Don't be engaged in making a long history for the governor of the state. It's no low in Xuzhou."

　　 Chutian cheered and said: "The master of your house has the talent of Wang Zuo, and he can serve as the pillar of the community in the future. Isn't it condescending?"

　　 "The county lieutenant has a good reputation."

　　 The merchant of Mi's family saw that Chu Tian was extremely fond of Mi Zhu. Although he was a little humble, he was still proud.

　　 Chutian entertained Mi's family, and then personally saw him off, flattering him.

　　……

　　 A few days later, in Xia Picheng, a graceful, honest and elegant man received Chutian's reply.

　　 "He really said that?"

　　 "Yes, he highly respects you, the master, and thinks he is the talent of Wang Zuo.

　　 "This Chutian is a bit interesting, but his influence is too small. If Mifang recommends it to me, I will not bet easily."

　　Mi Zhu can be a step-father, but also fancy Liu Bei, naturally not mediocre.

　　 Chutian knew what he wanted.

　　Mi's family is not short of money, what it lacks is status, especially the kind of titles that can be passed on to future generations, such as princes.
