Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu
Chapter 78: Iron's invention
Jia Xu looked at Ailang and felt that he was very special, unlike any other princes in the world. There is no other person’s hypocrisy, do whatever you want, act rashly, love is love, hate is hate, without any deception. . Suddenly a happy feeling rose in Jia Xu's heart, very fortunate to be able to follow Lu Bu. With Lu Bu's character, maybe one day he will be defeated, but if he can spend his life so freely, there is no regret even if he is defeated!
"Wen He, the heavy armored horse I trained by myself is very good, right?" Ai Lang asked with a smile like a treasure.
Jia Xu nodded and praised: "These heavy armored horses trained by the lord are indeed powerful, and the frontal assault is almost unstoppable!"
Ailang grinned with joy when he heard Jia Xu's compliment.
"but……"
Ai Lang suddenly heard Jia Xu uttering the word ‘but’, and suddenly became nervous and asked, "But what?"
Jia Xu saw the change in Ailang's expression in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel amused, saying; "The lord is right to insist on spending such a huge price to train this thousand armored heavy riders. However, this iron armored heavy rider has many shortcomings. . The first is that the price is too high. The cost of this one thousand iron armored heavy cavalry is equivalent to the cost of 10,000 ordinary cavalry; the second is that the endurance is not enough to be able to attack for long distances. Fighting in a pre-set position can exert infinite power. However, under the circumstances of rapid changes, his heavy armor has become the biggest trouble and burden; third, the mobility cannot be compared with the fast light cavalry, and I think the light cavalry may be the nemesis of the heavy cavalry, such as Yu To light cavalry like Bai Ma Yicong who is good at archery, I am afraid that the entire army of this thousand heavy cavalry will be wiped out and those light cavalry will not be injured!"
Ailang frowned and said, "You are right! The cost is high. I just use them as assault knives, and they don't need too much. This is not a problem. Insufficient stamina can be relieved by increasing the horses. As for being unable to deal with the archers, by the way, I designed a special crossbow for them, haha, if the heavy armor and the light armor shoot at each other, then the light armor is the opponent!"
Jia Xu couldn't help showing his admiration, and said, "The lord is absolutely right!"
Ellen laughed triumphantly.
Jia Xu suddenly remembered something and said, "I heard from the blacksmiths that the armor of the heavy cavalry was made by the bishop? I didn’t expect the lord to know these things!” There are also iron armors in this era, and the craftsmanship is so-called. The armor is made by connecting many pieces of iron together. The iron armor of this era is not very protective due to the problem of the production process of the iron pieces. However, the iron armor made by the blacksmiths of Ailang is essentially still A, the difference is the technology of cold forging armor. The so-called cold forging armor should actually be a technology that only appeared in the Song Dynasty and was invented by the Xixia people.
It’s not surprising if you ask Ellen how to understand this. One of Ellen’s main hobbies in modern society is to watch programs on the Science and Discovery Channel. There are programs introducing various cold weapons and cold forging armor. The technology is what Ellen learned from TV shows, but it is not complicated. In fact, Ailang does not remember completely, but it is just a rough idea, but after these are probably said to the technicians who have made armor for a lifetime, they immediately become enlightened, and there is no need for Ailang to ask about the following things, and finally ahead of the real history. The cold-forged heavy armor that had lasted eight or nine hundred years appeared in front of Ailang, and this was the iron heavy armor that the tiger cavalry now wears.
Ai Lang was very proud of what Jia Xu said, and he laughed: "What's that! I know more!" Ai Lang is not bragging. He has loved watching Science Discovery Channel since he was a child. That's a lot.
Ai Lang and Jia Xu walked into the big tent. At this moment, a civil official hurried in, presented a scroll of bamboo slips with both hands, and said: "Open to the general, Lord Chen Gong ordered the villain to send the report on the revenue and expenditure of the previous season and the production of ordnance."
Jia Xu walked to the civilian officials, took the bamboo slips, opened it, and read: "Spring revenue and expenditure report, income list, fishing and hunting income..., logging income..., customs income..., business tax income..., farmland income ……, the income from the mining area…, a total income of 30,000 food and salary, an increase of 20% over the previous quarter, mainly due to the farmland income of the major families, and the increase in tariffs and business taxes; a list of expenditures, recruiting expenditures..., Expenditures on armored weapons..., expenditures on food and salaries for officers and soldiers..., expenditures on salaries and salaries for officials and subordinates..., expenditures on construction of water conservancy bridges..., expenditures on pensions for casualties and soldiers...a total of 150,000 food and salaries!..."
Ellen was taken aback, but thought that he had expanded his army to 150,000, bought so many horses, and made so many armor ordnances. It’s not surprising that such expenditures, but the gap in revenue and expenditure is so huge. It's really scary. Ai Lang couldn't help but feel an idea, wanting to defeat Yuan Shu as soon as possible and occupy his Huainan.
Jia Xu continued to read: "The following is the production situation of the spring ordnance. People from all over the country handed in 39,837 sets of leather armor, 5,693 shots of long spears, and 3,889 rounds. Thirteen handles, five thousand six hundred and ninety-three shields, and six thousand three hundred and ninety-two kilograms of ordinary iron armor pieces were handed in. The Ordnance Yard produced 1,023 pairs of ordinary iron armor, and cold-forged iron armor 396 Pair, 1,923 long swords for cutting horses, 3,626 strong bows, 1,623 strong crossbows, 16,323 long spears, ring The first sword is eight thousand nine hundred and three with a handle and a shield is six thousand two hundred and fifty-three.
Ellen frowned, as if he wasn't very satisfied with the numbers. However, Jia Xu couldn't help but praised: "The effect of this division of labor and cooperation of the lord is really amazing! I did not expect that in such a short period of time, the civilians could actually produce nearly 40,000 sets of wallets, as well as so many weapons and iron armors. sheet!"
It turned out that Ailang recently proposed a method for all the people to participate in the production of military products. At that time, it was approved by Chen Gong and Chen Gong's specific production methods were implemented. In short, this method is that the official releases tasks and materials to the people. Of course, the people can also prepare the materials themselves. After the people have completed the production according to the official requirements, they will submit them to the official specialized agencies at any time. Corresponding remuneration is paid for the quantity and quality handed in. This undoubtedly provides a way for many people to earn a living, and it also provides a way for people with income to increase their income.
Since this season, almost every family in Xuzhou, from the city to the countryside, has been busy.
