Chapter 4328: The Imperial
After Chen Xi realized that plate armor was the right way since Yuan Fengnian realized that plate armor was the right way, scale armor and chain armor were gradually eliminated. The problem was too much when he made reserves in the early years. In addition, he had not developed a powerful secret technique for warming up, and he had to rely on reserve soldiers for warming up, which led to excessive scale armor and chain armor.
Even though they kept trying to consume these armors later, considering the safety of the soldiers' lives, the scale armor and chain armor were finally reclaimed. Basically, all departments of the Han Dynasty have plate armors, and the difference lies in the thickness.
As for dismantling scale armor and chain armor as horse armor, we need to consider the number of war horses. It is obvious that even if Chen Xi was crazy, he would not be able to complete the replacement of the cavalry in a short time, and expand the scale of the cavalry to about 200,000.
Based on the above reasons, as of now, there are still 700,000 scale armor and chain armor in the treasury. Since the beeping process started, there are still so many people who are constantly returning to the cage during the issuance process. The plate armor is constantly produced from the forging room. Everyone is not fools, and the situation is not urgent to that extent, so why do you need to use defective products?
As a result, there are still a large number of scale armors and chain armors in the treasurys in various places. They are relatively easy to maintain and apply oil and prevent rust easily. The structure of scale armor and chain armor is destined to be time-consuming and labor-intensive to deal with these things. Until now, the cost of scale armor is not only the original resource sinking cost, but also the increasing cost of manpower maintenance.
But if it is not maintained, the steel rust these days is not a joke. It will be over in a few years, especially in the warm and humid environments in the south, which require maintenance of the armor every once in a while.
These are all costs, just like the car can afford to drive, maintenance, fuel costs, etc.
Well, it’s not that exaggerated. Chen Xi can withstand it, but it’s indeed a waste of resources.
"How come I'll keep it
"Because it's being updated," Chen Xi said helplessly, "the local legion that used to use scale armor has gradually eliminated scale armor, although I suggest less production of military equipment."
By the way, Chen Xi looked at Li You. The martial arts were always under the control of Li You. In fact, the biggest reason for laying out Li You’s share of steel is that Chen Xi felt that the martial arts were sufficient, and the others were more important. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang and others would not have cut Li You every time.
Therefore, every year when Li You got his own share of steel, he began to build plate armor. Various types of plate armor. Even if the frontline soldiers complete the dressing, the garrisons and border troops in various places also need to be dressed. The final result is that the scale armor that can still be used is eliminated.
The same goes for saying that the scale armor is in the garrisons in various places, and the garrisons in various places are maintained by themselves. Chen Xi does not bear any maintenance costs, and the localities will solve the problem by themselves. Just like the new recruits who go to the corps, they inevitably need to take over the work of drying and maintaining military vehicles from the older generation.
This not only strengthens the recruits' understanding of military equipment, but also dilutes manpower. Moreover, the process of maintaining military equipment is also a kind of learning and mutual benefit.
But if these things are returned to the treasury, the local government will have to work hard to maintain them. This will cost money and time. It is not worth it, so it is better to sell them.
"The production of military equipment still needs to be guaranteed." Liu Bei said, "If you are wary, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. If you cannot relax, your martial arts will not be relaxed. If you enter the warehouse and put it in Ma Nanshan, that is not something that our Han Dynasty can do."
"It wasn't said that it wasn't allowed to produce, but there was no need to produce so much." Chen Xi explained weakly, "In short, except for a few legions, scale armor and chain armor have been eliminated by various types of plate armor, and selling it to the people can also be considered a reduction in inventory."
So far, there are indeed several legions in need of scale armor and chain armor, but on the one hand, light armor is still needed so far, and the legions that can pass through Chen Xi are basically top-level elites, with very few numbers and so many are not used. Another one, it has been nine years since Yuanfeng, and the legions that cannot wear heavy plate armor are basically customized products.
Baima Yicong, old Ruishi, and Yueqi three crispy soldiers. Now it is directly studied by a large group of professionals, and then most of the links are put on assembly lines to rhinoceros leather armor. Currently, most of the linings are densely woven silk, and a small part are lotus silk cloth.
Can't wear heavy armor? No problem, you can always wear leather armor. Look at this top-notch one
Although the customized products are not as good as the complete set of plate armor no matter how they are made, the leather armor made after long-term tanning, strengthening, and hammering is really stronger than the chain armor in front of Yuanfeng through strengthening and warming.
There was no way. At that time, Chen Xi was engaged in steel, and the blacksmiths led the team were also newbies in blast furnace smelting. They couldn't understand the ratio of iron ore, so they could only try it again and again.
After ten years of continuous attempts, we have now obtained the accurate proportion of various materials and the concept of various molten steel additives.
Ten years ago, when Chen Xi had just captured Qingzhou and established the Qingzhou Smelting Department in Mount Tai, even if Chen Xi had this knowledge, Chen Xi could still use a bunch of ores to study the ratio. Even if Chen Xi took the lead and knew the rough ratio, it would not be possible to get a reasonable ratio for more than a dozen times.
So Chen Xi asked those blacksmiths to practice blindly. Anyway, even if the garbage comes out, it will be steel, and it will be hard and brittle. Anyway, what Li You wants is scale armor and chain armor. Even if the quality of the steel is not good, it will become what Li You want.
Therefore, if you really want to say this, it is not just a matter of Li You talking nonsense and not explaining clearly, but also many factors that Chen Xi had failed to meet the technical strength at that time.
Since the technology is not up to standard, the strength of this kind of thing is certainly not as good as that of similar products in the later stage, let alone things after the later upgrade. However, it is a military product after all, and it is still more reliable than the current iron pots, kitchen knives, etc.
"Mr. Chen, I don't doubt the purchasing ability of the people at this stage of release of inventory on such a large scale. What I am worried about now is the impact and greater impact in the future." As the eldest princess, Liu Tong really couldn't stop talking at this time. There is no way. Even if Liu Tong thinks that Liu Bei and Chen Xi are alive, Liu Tong has to consider who will let her sit in this position afterwards.
"This level is not about digesting inventory, but rather than just digesting inventory, it is better to just count on the reform of the Han Dynasty's military preparations." Guo Jia said in a somewhat joking tone.
"Because I can't put more armor into it, I just clear the inventory." Chen Xi explained with a smile, "So it is an occasional wartime behavior. After all, if the Huns go south to fight the Huns, the military preparatory itself can be sent to the young and strong."
This is not a random talk, but will really give you weapons to the young and strong. However, due to the actual situation, this weapon is really useful. Don’t expect to give you a piece of armor.
"I'm a little worried about whether it will become a social problem in the future. People who have armor and have experienced military service in the whole country are different from ordinary people." Zhuge Liang said with a heavy expression.
When neither side has talent, there is no difference in other qualities. Those with a stomach can beat those without a stomach to death, and there is no problem in hitting one, two or three.
So if there is a turmoil in the 700,000-yuan stomach, the army may not be able to suppress it.
"Don't worry, at least if Duke Xuande is here, it won't be messed up." Chen Xi smiled and turned his head to look at Liu Bei and said. At other times, Chen Xi would definitely not add such dangerous proposals, but after he had learned about Liu Bei's outrageousness, Chen Xi really didn't care.
People who get the A stomach may indeed have some vicious events. The problem is that these vicious events occur because of the A stomach? In the Han Dynasty, in the early years, for the issue of water withdrawal, several villages fought and killed a lot of people.
This is why Chen Xi worked hard to build water conservancy facilities. He knew that his spiritual talent had the ability to ensure good weather and weather, but the value of water conservancy facilities was not very valuable in a short period of time, so he still had to repair it. Isn’t it just to reduce internal consumption?
Therefore, Chen Xi, who had been in the Han Dynasty for more than ten years, was very open about this kind of thing and didn't care about it at all. As long as there was no large-scale unrest, these aphrodisiacs might be able to reduce the losses of some personnel. From a certain perspective, this can be regarded as mutual deterrence.
As for completely resolving the mutual struggle between local villages, to be honest, let alone the third century, it has not been resolved in the 21st century. Both sides clearly supported Liu Bei and Chen Xi, but when Liu Bei and Chen Xi left, both sides took out their weapons and started fighting. Chen Xi had no choice but to do this.
If Chen Xi is specifically solving the problems in the two villages, he is still sure.
The problem is that there are so many villages in the entire Han Dynasty, and Chen Xi has a ghost time to solve them one by one.
What's more, new problems are still arising, so Chen Xi really takes a mediocre attitude of living like this. As long as the two villages don't make trouble, they form a team, and under the leadership of their respective veterans, they attack the legion against each other, it's not a big deal.
The above-mentioned outrageous village battles really happened, and in the end the county magistrate led his troops to suppress them. For this reason, the county magistrate found all the people and made an open and fair guess on the front and back of the Wuzhu coins that had won three games in five games, and the loser was moved to the village.
Of course, the village chiefs of the two villages, the finance of the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the militia captains were all withdrawn, and many young and strong men were beaten to the point where they could barely be suppressed.
The problem is that for Chen Xi, this level is within an acceptable range. As long as you don’t make trouble to the Yellow Turban level, it’s not a problem. But to be honest, the level of the Yellow Turban is really not a problem of local clan scoundrels, but a pure large-scale land annexation, and the people have no food to eat, so they can only leave them without food.
As for the above situation, Chen Xi will not really happen. With the scales and armor, it will be a warning of the stomach when fighting for water. Chen Xi said that he could accept it.
Anyway, Chen Xi should solve the common problems as much as possible and hope that every problem can be solved. That is a dream. Chen Xi is not a god!
"What the people want is clear. Even if the ambitious guys go to provoke, they can't get up with the team." Liu Bei nodded and said, he still has this confidence.
What's more, if you dare not go to the battlefield to make achievements and only dare to make fish in the countryside, you will really think that the Han Dynasty militia is a waste. Even if the local ones cannot be defeated, you will report them layer by layer. Even if you break the boundary, you can knock down your head, and what chaos can happen?
"There is still a long time. The quality of these armors is not well maintained by the people. Whether they can last for twenty years is still a question." Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's better to disperse them. As long as you don't put off things like crossbows and put them in the people, the casualties caused by local conflicts may not increase, and it may be reduced."
Of course, this is Chen Xi's approach, but the general idea is fine. Armor and crossbow machines are a routine of rebellion, but only armor and helmets are really unsure. After all, the lethality of the mainstream civil weapons in the Han Dynasty is really average.
When villages compete for water, they usually just use wooden sticks and use weapons to fight to death. Then they have to wait until the real drought is a big deal, and then they will be able to make a living. These days, the weather is good every year, and fighting for water is closer to a temporary strong momentum, and there are fewer attempts to kill.
In fact, Chen Xi still doesn't know why the two fellow villagers in Jingzhou took out their corps to attack and cut each other. Even when Liao Li reported it, it was somewhat obscure, but Chen Xi did not pursue it. After Liu Bei knew it, he just sent a confidant to determine the number of deaths. After confirming that it was not very serious, he did not investigate it in depth.
Therefore, in this case, if defense is greater than attack, maybe everyone can die less. After all, from Chen Xi's standpoint, they are all their own people.
"Then the edict will be issued with printing and issuing it, allowing all localities to sell the stock scale armor to the people, but it needs to be registered." Liu Tong glanced at Chen Xi and said. The other party was very reasonable, but Liu Tong still felt that Chen Xi was purely trying to clear the inventory. After all, the scale armor had been piled up for so many years.
"Okay, and with this edict, it should be possible for the governors and county magistrates to be more vigilant." Chen Xi thought about it and said, then took out his seal of the Shangshu Pushe.
Soon, the edict with three important seals stamped was issued in a hurry to the prefectures and county governments in various places. However, even if it had been operated with the highest efficiency and efficiency, when the edict was issued, wild beasts had already attacked passers-by in some areas.
However, vicious incidents did not happen. Villages with city walls have indeed solved many problems. Moreover, militias in various places are not vegetarians. They have basically experienced almost ten years of military service. There is nothing to be afraid of facing wild animals.
