Liu Bei looked at the gift list in his hand and looked at Zhang with some embarrassment. Before, Xiu Fenggao could be said to be an apology, but now this gift list seems to be taking advantage of the Zhen family...
"Madam, you don't have to be like this." Liu Bei said with emotion.
"I heard that Liu Shijun wanted to build an academy, and the Zhen family was very prepared. They were willing to build an academy in Taishan and Qingzhou for Liu Shijun free of charge. In addition, the so-called food and lodging subsidy, the Zhen family, was also willing to take over." Zhang said with a smile.
It doesn’t cost much to build the academy, and it doesn’t cost much to donate chairs and benches. What’s the point of having those little brats having breakfast and lunch in the academy? The Zhen family’s servants already have over ten thousand, what’s the point of raising more?
Liu Bei's favor can be gained at a relatively small cost, so drizzle, drizzle, drizzle, when this plan was given to the Zhen family for review, none of the older members of the Zhen family took it to heart.
It is said that the older generation of the Zhen family is currently cooperating with several wealthy businessmen such as the Mi family and the Wei family on how to settle the business regulations and make profits for the Zhen family. Things like this that the Zhang family can resolve with just one word.
She didn't take it to heart at all, so Zhang quickly took care of it and came over to help fight with these people.
"This is not very good. The cost is a bit too high, and I feel sorry for the Zhen family." Liu Bei shook his head and said. He could tell that the Zhen family had good intentions, but the Zhen family alone could not bear this expense.
"Mr. Xuande, do you underestimate our Zhen family?" Mrs. Zhang opened her velvet fan to cover half of her face, with a smile appearing in the corners of her eyes, "I would like to see how much this expense is."
Liu Bei smiled bitterly. In his opinion, Zhang was obviously overconfident. "I don't know the exact number, but Zichuan said that it is impossible for one family alone to handle this."
"In this case, please ask Xuande Gong to give you a number when the time comes. The Zhen family also wants to contribute to the prosperity under Xuande Gong's rule." Mrs. Zhang narrowed her eyes slightly. Chen Xi would not mess with Liu Bei, so he said he couldn't handle it.
, then it’s no joke.
"Don't worry, madam." Liu Bei picked up the tea and took a sip.
Mrs. Zhang curled her mouth under the velvet fan with some dissatisfaction, then stood up and bowed to Liu Bei before slowly exiting.
"Zhang's sense is really sharp." Chen Xi came from behind the screen and said, "But why should I hide?"
"She will hide when she sees you coming. You will hide when she sees you coming. Let's continue talking about what happened before." Liu Bei pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for Chen Xi to sit down and continue.
"Except for the Yun Changbu, Ziyi, and Xuangao bu, who have not returned and the navy itself does not need to be adjusted, the other troops have completed the first batch of discharges and are being reorganized from the field troops. And the Thirty
The urban management brigade composed of veterans who have fought hundreds of battles over two years old has all been selected. After a few days to pay homage to the fallen soldiers, it can be reorganized." Chen Xi explained the things he had handled during this period.
Liu Bei nodded repeatedly and sounded very satisfied, but he hesitated for a while and said, "Actually, Zichuan, you don't need to prepare new weapons. Maybe you haven't carefully observed the weapons. In other words, a spear made of hundred-forged steel,
The one-year-old standard lance used by a soldier is not as sharp, nor is the standard lance as tough."
"Uh? How is that possible?" Chen Xi asked in confusion. He was also preparing to dig coal to re-equip the elite troops. How could such an unreasonable situation occur?
"Simply speaking, inner energy can be used as weapons and armor. This is why Yun Chang and I's weapons are only made of iron, but now they can easily cut off those newly forged iron weapons." Liu Bei
After thinking for a while, he said, "From this aspect, the standard weapons of the soldiers after one year of use have far surpassed those of a hundred steel-making."
"..." Chen Xi was speechless. There is still such a situation. Such a coal mine can only be used to make briquettes. I have a super plan for steel products!
"Because of this, the regular army will not undergo large-scale updates, because each update is equivalent to abolishing the lethality and defensive power of the regular army. This is why we mostly repair the weapons of the soldiers and seldom say that they are replaced.
new."
As he spoke, Liu Bei took out a standard broadsword with many gaps from the top of his bookshelf, and then found a horse-cutting sword that Chen Xi was planning to promote. He saw a double-cutting sword made of hundred-forged steel that Chen Xi had high hopes for.
Ma Jian was easily cut in half.
"Look, that's it. Generally speaking, this is the case with weapons. Of course, the weapons forged by some master craftsmen using special methods may be far sharper than the weapons these soldiers have used for more than ten years. But then
This weapon obviously cannot be promoted on a large scale." Liu Bei threw the standard sword full of gaps on the table and sighed.
"If that's the case, where did our previous equipment come from?" Chen Xi asked curiously. The horse-killing sword was useless once it was useless. He was now more concerned about where those high-quality weapons came from.
"New weapons are very inferior. This is one of the reasons why new recruits can easily be crushed by veterans when faced with them. The weapon gap is too big. This is why I will not allow soldiers who have not been trained for a year to join."
The reason for the battlefield is because the gap in weapons and equipment is too big." Liu Bei said helplessly. For such a reason, the new recruits are completely useless...
Chen Xi speechlessly picked up the standard sword full of gaps, "Does this mean that these weapons can only be repaired and cannot be remade?"
"Yes, there is no problem in repairing it, but the weapons that are remade are completely new weapons." Liu Bei said helplessly, "So weapons are a trouble for any prince. It is said that the equipment of the Hanting Yulin Guards is of the same generation."
It’s been passed down from generation to generation.”
Chen Xi was instantly shocked. If Liu Bei said that a pig-iron broadsword that lasted for one year could cut off a horse-zapping sword made of hundreds of steel, then Ma Kai, who had been trained for four hundred years in the Yulin sanitary ware outfit, would probably be able to cut it.
Artifact.
Liu Bei may have also seen Chen Xi's shocked eyes, and waved his hand and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you think. Everything has a limit, whether it is ordinary iron, iron iron, hundred irons, or meteorite iron, as long as it is still iron, then
The final limit is one thing, and it cannot become anything else."
"Oh, so there is no need to change clothes. All you need to do is provide the weapons used by the previous ones, right?" Chen Xi shrugged and asked.
"The weapons of the predecessors are simply not enough. This is the biggest trouble! After all, as long as a weapon is raised, it will become useless if it is not used for a long time, unless someone can raise the weapon to the legendary level that it has a spirit. To a certain extent, but that is just a legend." Liu Bei said helplessly. In the past few hundred years, he has not heard of anyone raising weapons into spirits. Who came up with this idea?
