My Three Kingdoms is a bit fierce

Chen Chu immediately praised Wang Gang well, and ordered someone to reward him with hardware.

"From today, the smelting workshop will be divided into two parts. One of them smelts iron and the other part is responsible for smelting ordinary iron. Chen Chu finally made a compromise decision. In fact, from an economic point of view, Chen Chu's decision is very unwise. Because the value of iron is hundreds of times higher than that of ordinary iron, if all iron is smelted with the skills of the king blacksmith, then the profit earned will definitely be more than ten times higher than now. However, Chen Chu is not a businessman after all, he has his own considerations, first of all, the premise is that he will not sell iron, this kind of raw material that can make a divine weapon is the safest only in his own hands; He would also sell regular iron for a profit, which would become his breadwinner.

Chen Chu, accompanied by several people, took a turn in the smelting workshop. The temperature is very high, and it's now the beginning of summer, so it's even hotter. In just a moment, Chen Chu couldn't stand it, Zhang Rui, who had been following Chen Chu and hadn't spoken, was also drenched in sweat, Zhang Rui had long wanted to leave here, but Chen Chu didn't leave, so she had to stay.

Although the environment in the smelting workshop was harsh, the blacksmiths and their apprentices at work were all attentive, and there was no trace of complaint in their expressions.

Chen Chu couldn't help frowning, and he said to Wang Gang: "Prince, it's so stuffy here!" If you stay for a long time, you won't be able to stand it! Do you stay here all day?

"Nope. If you stay here all the time, who will stand it! Every other hour, everyone would go outside to rest, drink some water, and then continue. "

That's pretty much it. Chen Chu nodded.

After staying in the smelting workshop for less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Chu finally couldn't stay anymore.

When he left the smelting workshop, Chen Chu only felt a cool breath rushing towards him, and his whole person seemed to be light. Zhang Rui, who was following behind Chen Chu, also breathed a deep sigh of relief.

"Wenyuan, another month has passed, how is the army's training?" On the way to the lobby of Tiger Roaring Village, Chen Chu asked with some expectation.

"Big brother, you can rest assured that I will do things! Why don't you go with my little brother now?

Chen Chu thought about it for a while, but there was nothing to do left and right anyway, so he nodded in agreement.

After going to the training ground to see it, Chen Chu felt a little surprised. The 2,000 troops handed over to Zhang Liao had already practiced very well at this time, and they already had a little bit of coercion on their bodies. It only took two months to train the soldiers to the way they are now, and we must admit that Zhang Liao is really worthy of being a famous general with wisdom and courage in the world during the Three Kingdoms period!

In the face of Chen Chu's praise, Zhang Liao's expression seemed very calm. He told Chen Chu that the army was able to train so quickly and decently, mainly thanks to the battle not long ago, and only soldiers who had experienced the baptism of war were real soldiers!

Zhang Liao's words gave Chen Chu an idea. He wanted to take advantage of the time before the arrival of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to let his army go to train the bandits. This has three advantages: First, it achieves the purpose of military training; the second is to pacify the place to increase its prestige; The last point is also what Chen Chu values the most, that is, these bandits usually rob their homes and rob business travelers, and even rob the official treasury, so their net worth is often very expensive, and after they are exterminated, the money and grain will belong to Chen Chu!

Don't think that Chen Chu is a money obsesser, he can't help it. Before the troubled times come, he must save as much money and food as possible, only in this way can he survive and strengthen himself in the troubled times.

Since Chen Chu came to this troubled world that he has only seen in film and television dramas, he has done a lot of things, but in fact, there is only one purpose for doing these things, and that is to survive! We must survive in this troubled world! There is only one rule of survival here, and that is the law of the jungle! In the end, only the strong can survive! Chen Chu is unwilling to be the delicacy in the mouth of the strong, so he has to do everything possible to strengthen himself.

Regarding Chen Chu's idea of training with bandits, Zhang Liao expressed his complete agreement. It's just that there is a problem here, there were only Tiger Roaring Village bandits in Leping County, and this group of bandits had been exterminated by Chen Chu's army, and most of the bandits had already taken refuge in Chen Chu as an official soldier. And if you want to take the bandits from other counties, you must have a letter of request for help from the governor above the governor or the county order of the county that is subject to the bandits. Otherwise, it would be a crime of rebellion to send troops to cross the line without authorization, and the current Chen Chu can not afford this crime.

Zhang Liao didn't bother with this issue, this problem had to be handled by Chen Chu.

In the Tiger Roar Camp (Chen Chu renamed the Tiger Roar Village as the Tiger Roar Camp), turn left and turn right, and before you know it, most of the day has passed.

When leaving the Tiger Roar Camp, Chen Chu took away the hundred catties of iron, and as for what it was for, Chen Chu didn't tell anyone.

At the beginning of the summer of 183 AD, banditry intensified in various places, but there was no reaction from the central court. The people were miserable, and the caravans were even more suffering, and the ten of the caravans who traveled to and from various places were plundered, and those who resisted the slightest were bound to be slaughtered. This directly led to the blockage of the circulation of goods in various places, and the most direct consequence was that the prices of goods in various places soared, which made the already poor people even worse, so people who could not survive formed gangs to make a living by looting, and new robbers were born. Under such a vicious circle, the originally glorious Han Dynasty gradually slipped into the abyss.

On the official road leading to the county seat in Leping County, two young men in ragged clothes were supporting each other towards the county seat. The frightened expressions could be clearly seen on the dirty faces of the two. Who are they? What happened along the way?

"Brother Li insists on holding on a little longer, and he will almost arrive in Leping City!"

Another young man sighed, "I didn't expect the county seat to be breached!" My five thousand gold worth of skins! How can these robbers be so bold!? "

Brother Li, don't be sad, I didn't say anything about the county order that I didn't even lose the county seat."

The young man surnamed Li sighed again, but did not speak again.

"By the way, Brother Li, why did you run to the small county town of Leping County? Isn't it safer to go to Taiyuan? "

I have an industry in Leping County, and besides, the military strength of Leping County is very strong, and I exterminated the bandits in Tiger Roaring Village some time ago!"

"I've heard that, too. I can't imagine that a small Leping County has such a strong military force! Hey, if my Yang County had such a strong army, it wouldn't have been attacked by thieves! The

young man surnamed Li also sighed, but the reason for his sigh was that he regretted his leather goods worth five thousand gold.

"Okay, Brother Yang, don't feel nostalgic anymore. By the way, why did you follow me to Leping County, shouldn't you go to Taiyuan? You have to report the situation to Ding Thorn Shi! "

It turned out that the young man who was with the young man surnamed Li was surnamed Yang, and he was the county magistrate of Yang County. This Yang County Commander showed a distressed expression when he heard this, "My father once offended Ding Yuan, and now that I have lost the county seat, he will definitely take the opportunity to kill me!" How could I throw myself into the net! The

young man surnamed Li nodded with a sudden expression, "I forgot about this matter."

The two of them staggered forward on the official road, and in a place more than ten miles away from the county seat, the two saw a sentry post, there were dozens of soldiers in the sentry post, and a big flag was planted on the side of the sentry post, and the word "Han" was fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, both of them were so excited that they were about to cry. They knew they were safe now.

"Stop!" Two soldiers armed with Changge blocked their way, "What are you doing?" You don't look like outcasts or caravans!

"This brother, we are business travelers! It's only because of the robbers on the road that it will become such a miserable situation! The two said urgently.

When the soldier heard this, his expression softened a lot, and if he encountered a robber, it would be good to be able to run out like this. However, the soldier did not immediately let the two men go. "You say you're a business traveler, but do you have any proof?" The soldiers had to be cautious, for a period of time, bandits were in full trouble, and some bandits who fought in Leping County frequently sent people to sneak into Leping County, and they had already captured dozens of such people.

Hearing this, the two hurriedly took out something from their arms. The young man surnamed Li took out the family crest, while Yang County Ling took out his official seal.

Seeing the identities of the two, the sergeant was taken aback. didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent a few people to escort the two to the county seat.

On the way to Leping before, the two saw homeless people rushing to Leping from time to time. Now the two of them have entered the territory of Leping County and have seen more displaced people, but the displaced people here are being organized to go to a certain place in an orderly manner.

This approach in Leping County is completely different from that in other places. In other places, local officials have basically set up checkpoints to prevent displaced people from entering, after all, the more displaced people there are, the burden is heavy, and it is easy to cause many troubles. This Yang County Commander Yang County did just that.

"How can you adults solve their food and housing problems when you absorb so many displaced people?" Looking at the neatly organized group of displaced people, Yang Xianling was very curious.

The sergeant smiled, "How do we soldiers know these things?" But I know adults must have a way! In fact, I am a displaced person who fled to Leping County.

Yang County Ling looked at the sergeant a few times in disbelief. You're an outcast?! The

sergeant nodded, "It's not just me, but more than half of the adults' army are people like me."

After a pause, the sergeant's eyes showed an unusually reverent look, and then he continued: "Our lord is the most merciful adult I have ever met, and we believe that the lord will be the hope of our Huaxia clan in the future!" At the end of the day, the sergeant's eyes became a little fanatical.

The two couldn't help but glance at each other, the sergeant's performance just now was somewhat beyond their expectations, this kind of crazy worship of loyalty, they didn't say they had seen it, they hadn't even heard of it. For this look, the two didn't know what words to use to describe it. The young man surnamed Li felt the deepest, when he was in Leping County a month ago, although the sergeants he met were also very grateful to their adults, they were by no means the way they are now, and they couldn't help but feel more and more that this Leping County was unfathomable.
