Tubo has many mountains, and where there are mountains there are mines.
Qin Huaidao was not sure what kind of mines there were around Luoche City, but he estimated that there would be no shortage of metal mines and coal mines, not to mention gold mines. Tubo believed in Buddhism and built many temples, and the Buddha statues inside were all plated with gold. How could it be possible without gold mines?
The next day, Qin Huaidao sent people to inquire, check documents, and ask local people. They found not only iron, copper, silver, and gold mines, but also coal, gypsum, natural sulfur, high soil, limestone, granite, and marble.
Wait, with these ores, cement can be fired.
Mining requires labor, which can solve the employment problem. After burning cement, cities can be built, government offices can be built, and roads can be built. These are all investments. Investment can bring employment. When people have income, they can bring consumption, society will be stable, and the economy will be
can develop well.
If you have food, drink, work, income, and hope for life, who still cares about rebellion?
Qin Huaidao went to Liu Hongji and explained the situation. Liu Hongji was worried about how to solve the people's income problem. He couldn't just send money directly, right? After hearing the great news, he quickly adjusted the policy outline and started preparations.
After a long conversation, a flying pigeon soared into the sky, carrying Qin Huaidao's order to dispatch technicians to burn cement and flew towards the Royal City of Hanzhou.
After leaving local governance to Liu Hongji, Qin Huaidao plunged into the workshop to guide the creation of weapons.
Also leaving together was a small team carrying the heads of Lu Dongzan and his son, heading straight for Chang'an.
…
Five days later, a Qijia knife was made. It has a cool blade surface, a slender blade, and a slightly curved shape at the front that makes cutting faster and more powerful. It has grooves on both sides, and the deep blood grooves make people palpitate.
Qin Huaidao picked up a sword and held it in his hand. It hummed with great acceptance and threw it to the coveted Luo Wu.
Luo Wu took it and tried to swing it. He soon discovered something unusual and said in surprise: "Uncle, this kind of knife held in both hands can bring out all the strength of the whole body. It's so good."
"You can use your shoulders as a pointer to rotate your body greatly to form a leverage effect, and your strength can be more than three times greater." Qin Huaidao pointed out and demonstrated the rotation action.
"What is the leverage effect?" Luo Wu asked curiously.
Qin Huaidao was startled, then laughed and cursed: "Forget it if you don't know. You just need to know how to use this force and teach everyone. Later I will teach you a set of sword techniques specifically for using this sword to test its power."
"Thank you, uncle!" Luo Wu shouted excitedly, and immediately asked someone to bring a horse leg.
The horse's legs were very strong and plump, including the leather bones. Luo Wu first chopped with his sword, but he could only cut through most of them, but could not cut them off. Then he switched to Qi's sword and slashed easily, breaking them in two, neatly and clearly.
The onlookers of the security group were stunned and immediately overjoyed.
Qin Huaidao took a sword worn by everyone and looked at it. It was a horizontal sword, which originated from the Huanshou sword of the Han Dynasty. It was also the standard weapon of the army in the early Tang Dynasty. The blade was straight and thin. It could be held with one hand. It could chop and stab, but it was not very powerful.
It's so big that it can only leave a wound on the body. If it's armored, it's very difficult to cut through.
Thinking of armor, Qin Huaidao asked someone to wrap a horse's leg in chain mail and hang it up, signaling Luo Wu to continue trying the power of the Qi family sword.
Luo Wu was a little doubtful that it was chain mail, but he still took a deep breath, stood firm, rotated his body, and slashed down with his sword.
"Stab it!"
A strange sound sounded, the chainmail was broken, and the horse's leg was also broken, but the Qi family sword was unscathed.
"Wow--"
Everyone exclaimed in amazement, thinking that they could be equipped with such a weapon in the future, and their eyes instantly became wild.
Qin Huaidao didn't expect it to be so powerful. He took the Qi family sword and inspected it carefully. After confirming that it was intact, he was overjoyed and said to everyone: "Everyone, you have learned how to make this kind of weapon in the past few days. Let's use it."
"Thank you, King Han!" Everyone was overjoyed.
For a time, the sound of banging and laughter could be heard in the workshop.
Qin Huaidao walked out of the workshop with the weapons and was in a good mood. He told Luo Wu who followed him: "Keep an eye on it and don't lose it. In addition, make a hundred more spare weapons."
"Understood, I will issue a gag order and keep an eye on it personally." After seeing the power of this weapon, Luo Wu knew the pros and cons and solemnly nodded in agreement.
The Qi family sword has been completed, and the only thing left is the Ge. This weapon is simpler and easier to make. It is not a new weapon. It has been made by the recruited blacksmith, so there is no need to worry about it.
Qin Huaidao went straight to the palace with his sword.
After the fire was extinguished, Luoche City was renovated and organized, and it was ready for the owner. The palace became Qin Huaidao's office. From a distance away, he saw Duoji pacing at the door, with an anxious expression on his face, and went to greet him.
Duoji also saw Qin Huaidao and hurriedly came forward to greet him.
Qin Huaidao took the other person's arm to show that he valued him, and entered the palace together. He came to the throne and sat down, and asked bluntly: "Come here, please give me a seat and watch tea. General Duoji is here for something?"
"Thank you King Han for the reward!"
Duoji solemnly saluted again. Thinking of the purpose of his trip, he cautiously said: "King of Han, all the armies are reorganizing and training. The general also wants to reorganize and train according to the Hanzhou military system, but there is no one to guide him. Please ask the King of Han to make it happen."
A hundred thousand troops is not a small number, and everyone is afraid of it. There is no way to tell whether they will go or stay. Duoji has been feeling panicked these days, worried about being attacked by swords and axes.
Qin Huaidao has also been thinking about this matter these days. He saw that Duoji was nervous and worried, and knew that he could not wait any longer, so he said: "General Duoji, I have appointed you as the commander of the army. You will select your 100,000 soldiers and eliminate the old ones."
Weak, sick, and infirm people will be under the jurisdiction of ten divisions, and deputy commanders, division commanders, and other positions will be selected from the army. Let the guard regiment send people to assist in the reorganization. What do you think?"
Ten divisions amount to almost 70,000 people. Only 30,000 people were eliminated from the establishment of the two armies. Moreover, all officers were selected from the army and were not airborne. How much trust is this?
Duoji was not a fool, otherwise he would not have made it to where he is today. He said excitedly: "Thank you so much for your trust, King Han. I will be loyal to you to the death. I will never betray you."
"I believe in you, just as I believed in you before, and sent you to Tianzhu, and you did not disappoint me. Fifty thousand people went there. After learning that I was coming to kill, I led 100,000 people to support me. But in terms of merit,
All the generals under my command are full of merit, so I cannot give you a higher position. I hope you understand."
Duoji quickly said: "The general understands that it is already a great gift from heaven. The general knows himself. In terms of merit, he is not as good as the general who followed the King of Han from birth to death and fought in the world. In terms of force, the general is not the opponent of several other military commanders. No matter
Dare to hope that the King of Han's kindness will be repaid with death, and I will never let him down."
After getting along for a while, Duoji already knew that the highest officer under the King of Han was the army commander. Each army only had five divisions. It had recently been expanded to ten divisions by collecting prisoners. Now he was also the army commander. He was on an equal footing with everyone, and he also
What's not satisfying?
As for the commander in charge of the five armies in Tuyuhun, he was a British prince. He had great military exploits and was famous all over the world. All the generals were convinced. Why should he not be convinced?
