Wang Can glanced at Pu Yuan and thought that if a talent like Pu Yuan is used for oneself, it will harm others and benefit oneself. If used by other princes, it will harm oneself and benefit others. He can only use it for his own use and cannot be used by others.
Each soldier has an upper limit to his own combat effectiveness, or the limit that his body can only reach. When the body's ability reaches a certain level, it is almost impossible to improve it. Therefore, it is necessary to use external forces to enhance the combat effectiveness of soldiers.
There is no doubt that technological innovation is appropriate.
There is a saying from later generations: Science and technology are the primary productive forces.
The development of science and technology can quickly enhance combat effectiveness. This sentence is not an exaggeration when applied to Pu Yuan. The steel knife forged by Pu Yuan cuts iron like mud and is sharper and more durable than ordinary swords. This is the power of technology.
Innovation is the development of scientific productivity. In the same way, the emergence of horseshoes and saddles is also a technological innovation.
Using science and technology to enhance combat effectiveness is more obvious and effective.
Wang Can looked at Pu Yuan, who had a dark complexion and a slightly honest expression, and asked: "Mr. Pu, we are still short of a Diannong captain in Hanzhong. Is Mr. Pu willing to condescend to take up the position of Diannong captain?"
Dian Nong Xiaowei is in charge of agricultural production, civil affairs and land rent.
Although the things are complicated and related to the common people, they are trivial matters, but their power is very great.
The ancients said that scholars were farmers, workers, and merchants. The so-called opening up subjects to recruit scholars and seeking talents for the country was a high praise for scholars.
Among the four types of people, those who study, those who work in agriculture, those who work, and those who engage in business, study comes first, farmers come second, workers come third, and businessmen last. Businessmen have no status, but farmers can be ranked second, and in this era
The largest number of people were farmers, so Diannong Xiaowei was very important and related to whether Hanzhong could operate normally.
After hearing this, Cheng Yu was a little confused about Wang Can's appointment of Pu Yuan as the captain of Dian Nong School.
Although Pu Yuan could forge good swords, he was only a good craftsman and was not qualified to serve as a Diannong captain.
It's just something Wang Can has decided, and it's hard for Cheng Yu to stand up and oppose it.
Pu Yuan was invited by Wang Can to serve as the captain of the Diannong School. His already excited expression became even more excited. His flushed face looked like a red apple that was about to ripen. Coupled with Pu Yuan's dark face, which was dark and rosy, it was really good-looking.
Pu Yuan was also caught off guard by Wang Can. He brought a forged steel knife to Wang Can and got the official position of Diannong School Lieutenant. It was like a piece of cake in the sky, and he picked up gold while walking.
Eagerly, he nodded repeatedly and said yes several times.
Cheng Yu secretly sighed that Pu Yuan was too young and pointed out: "Pu Yuan, you haven't paid homage to the lord yet."
"ah!"
Pu Yuan exclaimed, and then he realized what he was doing. He quickly stood up and walked to the center of the hall, raised his hands above his head, bowed deeply to Wang Can, and said loudly: "Pu Yuan pays homage to the lord."
Wang Can smiled, raised his hands, motioned Pu Yuan to stand up, and said, "Mr. Pu, please sit down."
Pu Yuan was excited, but he also knew that he couldn't get carried away at this time. He took a few deep breaths to calm down the excitement in his heart, and the blush on Pu Yuan's face gradually faded. He looked serious and said loudly: "My lord, Pu Yuan's character is virtue.
Ming, my lord, you can call Pu Yuan by the same name, but you will make Pu Yuan ashamed to call you 'Mr. Pu'."
Wang Can nodded and said: "Deming, how many ordinary war knives can you break with the steel sword you forged?"
When it came to the steel knife, Pu Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and the honest look on his face disappeared, replaced by confidence and calmness. He looked resolute and said with certainty: "My lord, if we look at the steel knife in my hand, it can
If you can chop ten swords in succession without damaging them, if you continue to chop, there is no guarantee whether the sword will be damaged or not."
"Ten handles, so many?"
Wang Can had a look of surprise on his face. One steel knife could break ten swords. What a terrifying statistic.
What he values is that the steel sword can break the sword, this is the key.
Just imagine, the soldiers under Wang Can are all equipped with steel swords forged by Pu Yuan, which are used to kill enemies on the battlefield. When the two armies collide, the swords collide together, and the soldiers led by Wang Can chop off the opponent's sword with one blow. The result will definitely cause the enemy to be killed.
The morale of the soldiers was low and they had no weapons to resist. However, Wang Can's soldiers slaughtered the enemy with steel knives, occupying an overwhelming advantage.
Wang Can looked at the steel knife in his hand fondly and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
In an instant, the soldiers stationed outside the hall quickly ran in and bowed to Wang Can.
Wang Can ordered: "Go to the warehouse to get eleven swords, and then find eleven strong soldiers with strong bodies. Each of them comes in with a sword. You must be fast and hurry up."
"promise!"
The soldier responded, turned and left.
When Cheng Yu saw this, a smile appeared on his stern face. When Pu Yuan took the sword to his house, he took out a forged steel sword and chopped off ten swords in a row, which also shocked Cheng Yu. It was precisely because
In this way, Cheng Yu personally brought Pu Yuan to visit Wang Can, but Cheng Yu did not expect that Pu Yuan would be entrusted with an important task.
Pu Yuan looked out of the hall with a look of expectation in his eyes.
After a while, eleven strong soldiers walked in, each holding a sword.
Wang Can secretly thought that he had finally arrived. He suddenly stood up from his seat, carrying the steel knife forged by Pu Yuan, and ordered the eleven strong soldiers who entered the hall: "The eleven of you line up in a row, all with your hands.
Hold the sword tightly and stretch it out." After saying this, Wang Can walked to the side of the first strong soldier on the left, raised the steel sword, widened his eyes, and shouted: "Kill!"
The steel knife struck down, and a bright sword light flashed past, striking at the sword.
"clang!"
The sword and the steel knife collided, and a stream of bright sparks burst out from the place of contact.
The soldier's hands holding the sword couldn't help but tremble, and his whole body leaned forward a little. However, when Wang Can raised the sword again, the soldier held the sword again and stretched it out, waiting for Wang Can.
Can slashed down. This time, Wang Can held the sword in both hands and slashed hard. The steel sword struck the sword with a sharp whistle that broke through the air.
"Crack!"
Wherever the steel knife passed, the war knife broke with a sound.
This scene made the other ten strong soldiers standing in the hall open their mouths with a look of astonishment on their faces.
Wang Can nodded with satisfaction, picked up the steel knife and checked it, and found that the blade of the steel knife was still very sharp without any gaps. Seeing this, Wang Can secretly sighed that the steel knife forged by Pu Yuan was powerful. If there were
With thousands of these steel knives, the Hanzhong army can show off its skills in a battle with Liu Yan and defeat Liu Yan effortlessly.
A steel knife that can cut through iron like clay is definitely a killer weapon.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
…
Wang Can held the steel sword and chopped ten swords in succession. When Wang Can held the steel sword and collided with the eleventh sword, the two swords collided and broke into two pieces. Wang Can single-handedly
Holding the handle of the knife with only half left, he couldn't restrain the look of joy on his face and cheered repeatedly. Taking the clean silk scarf from the attendant, Wang Can wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved away, standing in the hall.
of eleven hardcover soldiers.
Returning to his seat, Wang Can said: "Deming, you are very capable of forging steel knives. Are there any other brothers who can also forge steel knives?"
Pu Yuan straightened his back and said sternly: "Reporting to my lord, I have a junior fellow apprentice who can forge steel knives."
As soon as Cheng Yu heard what Wang Can said, he knew what Wang Can was up to. He secretly sighed that Wang Can was so ambitious that it was not enough to recruit just one Pu Yuan. He actually wanted to take over Pu Yuan's senior brothers as well. As expected of him
The lord chosen by Cheng Yu!
With a smile on his face, Wang Can said harmoniously: "Deming, if Hanzhong wants to develop, you will definitely not be able to forge steel swords by yourself. I will give you a task. You go back and ask your brothers. See
Are they willing to serve as officials? Well, as long as they can participate in forging steel knives, it’s fine. The more people, the better.”
After speaking, Wang Can looked at Pu Yuan with a smile.
That smile looked like a cunning fox.
Pu Yuan stood up, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely complete the tasks given by my lord and convince my brothers to come out to assist my lord."
Wang Can nodded and said with a smile: "Gong Zhongde, please immediately prepare the seal and ribbon and official uniform for Deming. Let Deming wear the official uniform and return to the mountain gate with the seal and ribbon of the Diannong school captain. I hope Deming will be in good condition."
Go back and persuade his senior brothers. This will prove that what Deming said is true, and it will also help Deming convince his senior brothers."
"promise!"
Cheng Yu stood up, bowed to Wang Can, and left with Pu Yuan. However, when Cheng Yu left, he asked Wang Can not to go to Hanshan for the time being. He still had something to discuss with Wang Can.
Wang Can nodded in agreement and looked at the leaving figures of Cheng Yu and Pu Yuan with a smile on his face.
An hour later, Cheng Yu rushed back.
Wang Can asked: "Gong Zhongde, you asked me to stay temporarily. Is there anything else you can do?"
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "My lord, Yu feels that the official position my lord gave to Pu Yuan is too high. The Dian Nong school captain is involved in Hanzhong County's agriculture, land rent and other important matters. It is too risky to entrust Pu Yuan with full authority. Besides, it is too risky for a Pu Yuan."
Yuan Qian came to seek an official position, and the lord gave him such an important position as Dian Nong Xiaowei. What if someone else defected to the lord? Once all important positions are assigned to those who defected, it would easily arouse the dissatisfaction of Hanzhong officials. Please think twice, lord.
ah!"
Wang Can shook his head and said with a smile: "Gong Zhongde is worried too much."
Cheng Yu said: "Please, my lord, clarify your doubts!"
Wang Can smiled and said: "Didn't Mr. Zhong De hear that a thousand pieces of gold were bought for horse bones? Although Pu Yuan is not capable enough to serve as a Diannong captain, he needs to use Pu Yuan to set an example and let everyone know that they will be reused if they join me."
.However, if someone comes to join us in the future, they will need to test their true abilities and determine what position they will occupy based on their true abilities."
After a pause, Wang Can continued: "After Zhong Degong returned, he immediately publicized Pu Yuan's appointment as the captain of Diannong School. Be sure to let people in Hanzhong, Yizhou, and even the Central Plains know about this matter. The specific publicity
Zhong Degong can discuss this matter with Wang Yue, and the Hero Building is best suited to publicize this kind of thing."
After Cheng Yu heard this, he admired him and said, "My lord, I admire your foresight."
Wang Can smiled and remained silent.
