"Oh, I saw that the people had nothing to do, so I let them pick out arrow shafts and knife hilts. After picking out an arrow that could be used as a training arrow, I gave them two or three cents. Then they picked up a lot, and the forests around Yecheng were all for them.
A piece of it was gone." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "But because the wood of those trees is good, I paid five cents for them and can use them on the battlefield."
If bamboo is used for arrow shafts, the quality is really bad. According to "Kao Gong Ji", the dry materials are eucalyptus at the top, followed by eucalyptus, eucalyptus, etc., and bamboo at the bottom. To put it simply, the stronger the wood, the better.
The better the material, the less likely it is to break.
Yecheng is in the north, and there are many natural forests around it. The Chinese have developed things like arrow shaft straighteners in the Stone Age. Although the technology has been lost several times, there are official records and a template will be sent to them.
People can do it themselves with stones.
Officials provide work during leisure time. Anyway, Chen Xi's consistent thinking mode is that people who have no work are more likely to be unruly than those who have work. I will give you work and money, but don't make trouble for me. Just stay at home and do it.
You can make money by doing it, whether you do it or not, don't make trouble for me.
Although there are still some unscrupulous people, but when there is nothing to do, the official list will be open to unlimited people to find people to work and pay them back, of course they will do it, and the unscrupulous people will also have to eat!
So in the past two years, the people of Yecheng had trouble getting through the forest all day long. They would go and plow up trees when they had nothing to do. They would cut down an ancient tree that was hundreds of years old and take it back. One winter, they would start plowing it out if they had nothing to do. After plowing it out, they would use bows and arrows to straighten it.
I started working on it, and when I had enough 200 pieces, I quickly went to the official to exchange supplies.
Because the extracted arrow shafts need to be soaked in tung oil, which is officially controlled, and if the extracted straight arrow shafts are lost for a long time, they may become crooked, so these people hurriedly carried them to the treasury after removing them.
, they don’t need to take care of the rest of the work.
As for why we exchange supplies instead of taking money, because official supplies are cheaper than supplies bought with money on the market, there is nothing to say about this. The supplies are produced by ourselves, and the market price and production price are completely different things. Of course Chen Xi will
The target is cheaper than the market price.
As for whether it is cheaper than the market price, will the Chamber of Commerce think that the government is unfair competition or something like that? Chen Xi has always been very generous. If you think there is a problem, come and sue me. It’s not like I haven’t sued you.
The power of officials.
However, until Chen Xi moved away from Yecheng, no businessman came over to sue Chen Xi for unfair competition. How brave he was!
But that was two years ago. Later, I don’t know which bitch used a new skill. Chen Xi wanted to beat the guy who used the skill to death.
"But that was only the past two years. In the past two years, they started to plant ash saplings by themselves, instead of making knife handles. They grew very fast. In the second year, they peeled them off, whittled them, and polished them to make arrow shafts..."
Chen Xi said very unhappily that the wisdom of the people is always not used where it should be used.
It seems that no one is in the business of knife handles, because ever since someone started planting ash trees on a large scale and then raised them and turned them in in exchange for supplies, the cost of making knife handles has been completely exhausted. Planting ash trees, Chen Xi said
This was very dissatisfying, so the price of arrow shafts dropped to three cents.
However, even so, this group of people still planted ash trees and harvested arrow shafts the next year. After all, it was highly efficient and low-cost. There was nothing to say later. Chen Xi waved his hand and threw the arrows back for recycling after being used once.
Library, I can use as much as you can produce.
"Oh, no wonder, I just asked why there are so many arrows in stock. You made all the arrow shafts into arrows and stored them." Liu Bei touched his chin to express his understanding.
"Well, I'm thinking about shrinking the scale next year. I can't go on like this. These guys don't farm well and start planting trees. I'm going to balance it out and reduce the scale of the industry starting next year. The output will be reduced to about one billion. I can't.
Let those people mess around." Chen Xi waved his hands and said, once anything can make money, people will flock to it in large numbers.
"Have you finished producing so much?" Cao Cao couldn't help but ask.
"Okay, looking at the current situation on the battlefield, we are suffering a lot from the archery corps. If we invest some arrows, we will pay for it as tuition." Chen Xi waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"What about the extra people among the people who went back to plant trees?" Liu Bei asked curiously.
"Give them a deposit, which means we will harvest the trees in two years and let them continue to plant them. Then we will let them pull them into white wax poles and recycle them to make gun shafts." Chen Xi had already thought about how to deal with this group of people.
Although we are just a group of people who follow the trend, we can't really let those people eat dirt. They are all the people under our rule.
"It is estimated that there will be hundreds of thousands of arrows by then." Huangfusong asked with curiosity. He finally understood that Chen Xi was so indifferent to the loss of arrows. This clearly meant that the production exceeded the supposed scale by several times.
Already.
"A hundred thousand?" Chen Xi rolled his eyes, "What the hell if you can't get more than a million by then? As long as you can still get money for growing this thing, these people will still grow it, and as long as you don't have a limit, other people will
What you plant will be credited to your own family, and you will get a share of the agency money.”
Huangfusong looked at Chen Xi speechlessly, and after a while, he said, "Your management style is too loose. For such unruly people, just catch them one by one and punish them a few times."
"Old man, just look at your image, train your soldiers, and join your battles. Don't worry about this kind of thing." Chen Xi glanced sideways at Huangfu Song, waved his hand and said.
Huangfusong's chest trembled twice, and then he said nothing.
"Let's just get used to it. The government keeps what it says, and even if it suffers a loss, if we let it go, we will still have to suffer the loss." Chen Xi said in an honorable and upright tone.
Xun Yu on the side rolled his eyes. You, Chen Xi, have the nerve to say you suffered a loss? Did you pay a copper? There are net profits and losses everywhere. If others say we still believe it, you say, shut up.
"Forget it, forget it, it's meaningless to talk about this kind of thing. Play the video, play the video. I basically relied on sleeping to get through the dream before. I didn't pay much attention to the overall situation. I just have time to take a look this time.
That's fine." Chen Xi revealed the previous incident half-heartedly.
Seeing Chen Xi like this, Li You looked at the others, and when Liu Bei and others nodded, he asked Nandou to continue playing the video.
As soon as the Yellow River crossing passed, Han Xin unified the hundreds of thousands of elite defeated troops under Li You, killed the thorns among them, and reorganized the troops. After reorganizing the troops, the military strength reached its peak in history. Of course, it was also thanks to Han Xin's command that
He is powerful enough to command hundreds of thousands of troops.
For a time, after Han Xin crossed the Yellow River, his momentum was soaring into the sky, and then he mobilized his entire army and headed straight for Yecheng, regardless of the enemies rushing to block him from other aspects.
"This is an army of half a million people." Cao Cao muttered to himself as he looked at the unidentified general in the video. To be honest, this is the first time Cao Cao has seen someone who can command an army of half a million people.
Like tens of thousands of horses, this is not scientific at all.
"The army of 560,000 has a complete range of arms and is extremely well-equipped. After the equipment change is completed, it can match the commanding capabilities of the opponent. It can be regarded as the strongest military force in history." Li You nodded to Cao Cao.
After that, he gave a very accurate answer.
"Sun Wu and Han Bai are afraid that this is all." Cao Cao looked at the commander and said in admiration, "This battle is completely impossible to win. Even the strength of Yecheng cannot stop the opponent's strength.
, the other party’s command is completely on a different level than ours.”
"Theoretically, it is impossible to win. In fact, we also lost, but it is completely different from what Cao Sikong expected. You will know when you read below." After Li You gave Cao Cao a positive answer, he then naturally branched out.
topic, and upon hearing this, Cao Cao immediately focused his attention on the image.
Speaking of which, the Battle of Yecheng in the video was the real turning point. If Li You hadn't prepared his trump card early, as Cao Cao said, it would have been impossible to win this battle because the gap between the two sides was too big.
, Han Xin at this time can be said to be at his well-deserved peak, and he indeed has the foundation to support war through war.
But how should I put it, well, the main reason is that Han Xin is too strong.
It is said that Han Xin was in a 560,000-strong army composed of his own army and previously unified prisoners. Due to Liu Bei's presence, more than 10,000 middle- and low-level leaders among the more than 500,000-strong army were facing difficulties.
After arriving at Liu Bei, he turned around on the spot and was willing to lead the way for the king.
However, the scary thing is this. Facing the chaos caused by Liu Bei, Han Xin still had the strength to maintain the battle situation and successfully escape. With his backhand, he was able to defeat the 60,000 troops who were robbed and killed in the four fields. All he can say is "Sun Wu Han"
Bai is the sage of war."
Cao Cao was dumbfounded as he watched Liu Bei wearing golden armor, with Chen Dao and Xu Chu guarding him fiercely, leading the way into the enemy formation, and then directly counterattacked.
"It's Mr. Xuande!" The silent image suddenly had sound. It seemed that Nan Dou had equipped the image with a sound playback function at the right time.
"How can the sword face the lord!" He shouted loudly, turned around on the spot, and then directly ordered dozens of people under his command to turn around. Soon the effect of Liu Bei's appearance appeared. On the spot, most of Han Xin's army rebelled, and some
Some of Han Xin's soldiers were coerced and rebelled. There was no other way, this was just how they were mixed...
Chen Xi and Liu Bei looked at each other and turned their heads in embarrassment at the same time. This was really embarrassing.
Although both of them knew that if this thing really happened on the battlefield, there would be nothing to say. This is the reality and no one can stop it. Liu Bei now knows 13,400 middle and low-level generals. To put it simply, all
The boss and team leader Liu Bei can basically be recognized.
There are even some of them that are very long. In this case, Han Xin's mixed army is courting death. After all, the only way to reorganize the army in ancient times is to replace all the centurions. In fact, it is impossible to replace all the centurions, and
You can recognize Liu Bei's company commander, how can you possibly finish changing them?
Therefore, the battle in Yecheng was just a joke at the beginning. Liu Bei rushed up, and then the favorability of the hostile forces was brushed from hatred to friendship on the spot. Then as Liu Bei advanced and confirmed his identity, it quickly turned into respect.
and then directly into worship,
Needless to say, Han Xin directly lost the ability to control this group of people, and the entire army's command system almost collapsed. Fortunately, Han Xin was strong enough and managed to contain it. When he realized that the situation was not good, he quickly put his
The generals under his command were drawn from each department and gathered together.
To be honest, this means that Han Xin was strong enough to drag most of his subordinates out of the rebel army. If it were someone else, he would have been hijacked by the rebel army and then hacked to death.
However, despite this, after Han Xin reluctantly pulled out his troops, he also lost a lot of troops. After that, Han Xin was ready to give in and retreat without saying a word.
As a result, the way back was blocked by the ambush and ambush prepared by Li You. Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Han Xin directly came to a desperate situation and fought to the death on the spot. Using his battlefield sense, he fought against the two armies at the front and back, and defeated the two armies in front of him.
The army suppressed them quickly and turned around, knocking all the ambush soldiers behind them to the ground.
By the way, this is the battle with the closest battle loss ratio between Li You and Han Xin since the Thirteen States deduced the war situation, 140,000 to 110,000. Well, Li You lost 140,000 in the battle and Han Xin lost 11 in the battle.
Wan, so Li You was chasing Han Xin.
Because after Han Xin was ambushed in the battle at Yecheng, although he fought amazingly and admirably, the heavy losses prevented Han Xin from being able to replenish enough youth in a short period of time.
For Li You's loss, the outcome was already doomed.
"This is the second battle. There is nothing to say in the first half. It mainly relies on the support of the lord. The second half is mainly for you to watch." Li You coughed twice and focused the attention of others.
Then he spoke.
"Yes, yes, just watch the second half." Liu Bei quickly agreed, saying it was too embarrassing to look at his own performance.
"I'm very interested in the first half." Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei suspiciously, "Xuande, how many people do you know?"
"Eight thousand? Ten thousand? Fifteen thousand..." Liu Bei said with a smile.
"Are they all military officers?" Cao Cao asked with a dark face. He discovered a blind spot. Liu Bei didn't seem to have so many middle- and low-level generals.
"Ahem, cough, cough, I usually don't care about Zichuan and the others. I just need to recognize some generals." Liu Bei said that he only has such abilities, so please don't ask any more questions.
"Are you touching someone under my command?" Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei with a dark face and said.
"No, I only touched the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty." Liu Bei said with a solemn expression.
When Cao Cao heard this, his blood vessels bulged, which was more serious than ever before. Liu Bei was so anxious that he hurriedly called the guards, "Quickly tell Doctor Hua, Cao Sikong's blood vessels are about to burst. He meets Doctor Hua's standards and can open his head!"
When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes were filled with double images. He was so excited that he fainted!
