Hua Tuo's medical skills are very powerful, Zhang Zhongjing's medical skills are also very powerful, and even Ji Xiang's medical skills are at a very high level. However, the infant and maternal mortality rates in the Han Empire are still explosively high. This kind of thing is really not a problem.
It's a problem that two doctors can solve.
Even with Chen Xi's dictation, Hua Tuo had developed things like disinfection and forceps, the mortality rate was still frighteningly high, because this was the Han Dynasty, and in this era, a midwife with a 90% safety rate for mother and child was considered a master.
In future generations, this mortality rate would probably be extremely high.
Even if the government vigorously promotes the decentralization of these technologies to the regions and relies on the almost uncanny grassroots management ability to promote them forcefully, it can only be said that the mortality rate has been reduced. As for eliminating them, come on, Chen Xi has no such hope.
Now what Chen Xi wants to do is to raise the childbearing age. He has not grown up yet. He has no children. Cao Cao was forced to love his wife. If he does not marry at the age of fourteen, he will be severely punished. He himself has not developed well. He will give birth to the next generation.
Of course it's fatal.
As a result, Zhong Yao's policy to stimulate population growth was to increase the age of non-marriage from fourteen to twelve. If Zhong Yao hadn't been there, Chen Xi would have wanted to beat Zhong Yao. What the hell is this? Can you think through it?
?
"The problem is that it's not possible to let him go now." Jia Xu sighed and said, this is really not something that Chen Xi can just let go of if he says let go. He can't really restrain him by force.
"First publicize it, then raise the age. Send official documents to various places and let them take the lead." Chen Xi said with a dark face. This matter cannot be cut across the board. We can only rely on propaganda. If it is really cut across the board, I'm afraid it will really become a tyranny.
.
"You can only let the higher-ups take the lead, so that the top and bottom lines are effective. If you want to rely on government orders, it will probably have the opposite effect, and don't leave the official documents. Just let some news out." Jia Xu said half-comfortably, from Hua Tuo's side
The conclusion drawn is that 17 or 18 is the most suitable age. However, even Jia Xu cannot bear to marry and have children at 17 or 18 years old. That is two generations too short in one hundred years!
The legitimate sons of aristocratic families can get engaged first, and then officially get married when they are mature enough. The problem is who among the common people has the time, and the higher-ups as a whole cannot accept this situation of two generations missing in a hundred years. There are always a few aristocratic families.
Chen Xi was silent for a moment and didn't say much. He knew very well that Jia Xu was right. If he spoke, there would definitely be drastic behavior below. This was almost inevitable.
"People also want to have more children and grandchildren, so there are some things that can only be advised but not done, even if they are wrong." Jia Xu persuaded again, "This kind of thing is different from others."
"Leave it to you." Chen Xi said with a cold face. He probably didn't want to think about these troublesome things anymore and turned to look at Pang Tong, "When can we get the 200,000 yuan shield guard replacement?"
"The armor and shields are not yet in place. The early stock of armor can only arm 60,000 shield guards. Previously, we mainly stocked armor for soldiers. The thickened armor for shield guards needs to be changed to the production line to speed up production." Pang Tong said calmly.
said.
Pang Tong was also surprised when he saw Chen Xi's sealed armor for the first time. The sealed armor almost filled the treasury and could arm tens of thousands of elites. It clearly made Pang Tong realize the gap between them and Chen Xi.
It is no longer a difference in intelligence.
"The production line that used to produce armor for soldiers was cut off. We will no longer produce that type of armor. We also transferred the craftsmen on the line to the production line for thickened plate armor linings." Chen Xi still had hundreds of thousands left when he stopped. If there is a gap, decisively switch to the production line.
At that time, Huangfu Song could not accept Chen Xi's nonsense at all. The idea of sending a hundred thousand shield guards first seemed to Huangfu Song to be a retarded idea. However, Huangfu Song left, and Cao Cao took over eight thousand camel riders from Zhu Jun. When Zhu Jun came back, the first task he took over from Chen Xi was to train me a 200,000 shield guard.
Zhu Jun almost went crazy at the time. What was a shield guard? Didn’t Zhu Jun, who had worked with Huangfu Song, know that it was a scrapped military unit that cost a lot of money and food and had a particularly high demand for equipment. In Zhu Jun’s opinion, it was impossible to create two legions. It was already a waste, but the first thing Chen Xi did when he got him back was to get him 200,000 yuan. Who is this crazy?
In the end, Zhu Jun was sure that he was crazy, and Chen Xi was not crazy, because to Chen Xi, weren't the so-called two hundred thousand shield guards the result of the soldiers changing their talents and armor during the previous military parade?
"Marquis Xixiang, look, our work is clear. You change talents, and I change armor. The former is your business, and the latter is mine." Chen Xi patted his chest and said, and then sent Zhu Jun 50,000 yuan. A Qingzhou soldier with extra talent.
Later, in order to allow Zhu Jun to train with peace of mind, Zhu Jun was allowed to see what it meant to produce one piece of equipment a day. Zhu Jun finally confirmed that he was crazy and Chen Xi was not crazy.
"In the past, armored soldiers were all defensive and wore scale armor. They could barely be regarded as so-called heavy infantry. But in fact, their defensive power was just that. I think since it is a basic unit, it must be reliable. Core! I think the shield guard is very good. The light infantry's agility and the heavy infantry's defense are very good! Two hundred thousand first." Chen Xi smoothed over Zhu Jun with a smile.
Zhu Jun expressed his dissatisfaction. He previously felt that the Shield Guard, as a decisive battle unit, lacked the ability to break through and burst out. Although the steel body and terrifying defense power could bring a considerable sense of security, at the level of a decisive battle unit, Zhu Jun really did not feel that How good are the shield guards?
However, after Huangfu Song left, Zhu Jun finally realized the flaw in his vision - although the Shield Guard is not an excellent decisive battle unit, it is indeed a very excellent basic unit!
The agility of the light infantry, the super defensive power brought by steel, the excellent response ability when facing various types of arms, and the relatively low training difficulty are simply the perfect arms among the basic arms. There is no other arm that can compare with them. Comparable!
Nonsense! This was Zhu Jun’s comment before he was crazy. After that, Zhu Jun threw himself into intense training. What I didn’t say before was that he would first turn these 50,000 soldiers into 50,000 shield guards. Even if they have the same talent, 50,000 shield guards will be finished. He defeated the previous 50,000 soldiers, and completely defeated them in terms of mobility, defense and lethality!
So Chen Xi forcefully mass-produced a top-level legion that could be regarded as a decisive battle unit by default. Shield Guards, please give me fifty legions first. If there are not enough, I will ask for them later.
I don't mean anything else, I just think that shield guards are very suitable as a basic unit. One or two legions are really meaningless. Tens of thousands of people seem to be just that, but how about more?
This is a defensive unit that can fight with one talent and two talents in a real sense. It is a channel to earn money in a true sense. There was no channel before, so you could only earn soldiers. But now there is a channel. Chen Xi thought about his 400,000 soldiers. You’ve already spent a lot of money, but you still care about changing your clothes and upgrading?
Not to mention that the combat effectiveness will soar after changing the equipment and upgrading. Even if the combat effectiveness only increases by a few points, Chen Xi will change the equipment for these points. Is plate armor a problem? Not at all!
So after Huangfu Song ran away, Chen Xi decisively decided to engage in shield guards. Isn't it appropriate? Who cares? Anyway, he crushed the armor in all aspects. He also accumulated more than 400,000 armor-changing soldiers. He took half of it and exchanged it for shields. After all, shield guards can crush soldiers in all directions.
As for the results, almost the first batch of 50,000 shield guards have come out. Zhu Jun is still very reliable. Although not as good as Huangfu Song, he is still very stable.
"Use scale armor as the lining of the plate armor?" Pang Tong is not excited about how Chen Xi builds it now, because he is also used to Chen Xi's magic in the industrial field.
"The scale armor prevents arrows, and it saves trouble to make the inner lining. He happens to be a skilled worker, but Xixiang Hou's soldiers have all been trained, and our second batch of armor has not been produced yet." Chen Xi said casually, as for the second batch of armor, The second batch of soldiers had already been arranged by Liu Bei.
Speaking of which, Chang'an has been a bit empty recently, because Liu Tong's imperial guards were sent to Kushan, and Liu Bei's guards were sent to the northwest, because there are not many soldiers in the Central Plains who can supplement the three-talented soldiers, even if there are already roads. After incorporating talents, it is possible to be promoted, but the individual quality and will requirements of the three talents are so high that there are basically no qualified reserves.
If you think about the First Auxiliary Legion of Rome, you will know that it took 84 years of hard work to accumulate such a small number of troops. After all, the road of three talents is difficult to walk. The pioneers need great wisdom and great perseverance to promote the overall path forward. , and it is relatively easy for latecomers to follow this path, but that is only relative to the pioneers.
To put it more exaggeratedly, it is almost like Newton and Leibniz were buried in the pit of calculus. Such almost godly figures worked hard to develop to that point, and then collapsed. The latecomers now only need to study in college. Derivation to this step.
However, it does not mean that the latecomers are much better than those ancestors, but because the ancestors have opened up the road to make it easier for them to reach this point. This is the so-called accumulation.
The horror of the First Auxiliary Corps is that despite the constant substitutions in the past eighty-four years, some people will continue to reach the extreme position reached by their ancestors, and then take a new step, allowing the First Auxiliary to surpass the three talents on the road. Go further and further.
The current situation of the Han Dynasty is that Xiliang cavalry and school swordsmen have cut the road and continue to develop, and their profound background has allowed these people to move to a very deep level, so that ordinary legions want to add changes. It is very difficult to obtain, even if they come from the same source, it is difficult.
What Liu Bei and Liu Tong did was to discard the super elites who had enough potential to be promoted to three-talented elites, and directly transfer their talents and merge them into the formed three-talented elites as backup, directly completing the original three-talented decisive battle units.
However, the result of overdoing it is that there is now a emptiness inside Chang'an, and the two super elites who can play the most low-key role have been used to supplement the three talents.
