Da Wei Chun

Chapter 99 Fitting
After sending Li Song away, Li Chengzhi summoned the two doctors again.

The advantage of the manor economy is that as long as there are talents closely related to people's livelihood, there are basically all, and nine out of ten are clansmen.

These two doctors are no exception. They have the same surname as Li. They are not only easy to use, but also reassuring.

Therefore, after moving to Kongtong Mountain, expecting a large-scale war, Li Chengzhi handed over the task of making medicinal wine to these two.

The secret recipe is still added, in addition to garlic, garlic, green onions and shallots, there are also a lot of caramel and several spices that will not affect the efficacy of the medicine.

A major battle is about to take place, and the damage will inevitably increase, so Li Chengzhi has to consider expanding the production capacity and reserves of medicinal wine.

Once mass-produced, this recipe can no longer be used. Not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, the extra spices cost more money than buying garlic and wine.

But if you only buy garlic and spirits from the outside, even a fool can guess the ingredients of Li Chengzhi's magic medicine...

So Li Chengzhi decided to make a change: Garlic and wine are still bought in bulk, remove the onions and various spices, and increase the amount of aconite, tripterygium, arsenic, and sulfur.

Outsiders only think that these are all the raw materials needed to make wine.

It is true that these raw materials are used, but Li Chengzhi uses them separately.

Only the garlic-infused spirits are used internally, and the rest is used to make bandages.

Aconitum and Tripterygium wilfordii have the effect of hemostasis, arsenic and sulfur can remove rot, kill poison, and treat sores.

But how can outsiders tell the difference, the latter are not for eating at all?

Of course, Li Chengzhi will definitely not use the latter two. Needless to say, arsenic also has other uses.

At least it can be used for poisoning!
There are some inferior works, but when necessary, as long as it is useful, Li Chengzhi will definitely use it...

Li Chengzhi dipped ink with a wooden pen, quickly wrote a note, listed various raw materials on it, stamped it with his own private seal, and handed it to the doctor: "Go to Hu Xiaowei, and ask him to speed up the purchase... "

As he said that, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a little bit of coldness: "I don't need to explain it to you, you should know the importance of it when you wait, right?"

This is just a list of raw materials, and there is no way to keep it secret. Li Chengzhi just wanted to let the two doctors understand how seriously he took this matter.

The two doctors were decisive and replied in unison, "Don't worry, Langjun!"

Li Song has done all the things that should be cherished and warned. He even took a poison oath to the ancestral hall, and his family members were also taken care of. Li Chengzhi estimated that there was little chance of a temporary problem.

When the procurement of raw materials is almost the same, I and Li Song can spare some time. Then we will see how to assign additional personnel to these two and who is suitable.

Or the two of them in person.

As for the future, we can only prevent micro-duplication...

He waved his hand, drove the two doctors away, pulled another piece of paper, and began to draw up the division of the military and the proportions of weapons and armor.

First is the horse.

Li Song and Hu Baozong brought [-] war horses from Gaoping Town, all of which were real Liangzhou horses with a load of more than [-] kilograms and still able to travel [-] miles a day.

In addition to the original more than [-] horses, and those seized from the city, and then borrowed some from the big clan in the county, there is no problem with a thousand horses.

This is Li Chengzhi's bold words, as long as he is given 20 soldiers, he should be able to break [-] thieves.

The cavalry is the well-deserved king of the cold weapon era.

Therefore, no matter how many soldiers he can recruit, he will only build soldiers around these thousand horses, whether they are cavalry or horse-riding infantry.

Li Chengzhi estimated that he was more optimistic. If all ethnic groups, parties, and castles in the county could cooperate closely, plus the more than [-] veterans of the Li family, they would be able to gather five hundred heavy cavalry that could steer horses and bows.

A pair of horses, just right.

If the big clan does not cooperate, they can only choose strong soldiers and arm a thousand horses and heavy infantry to maximize their mobility.

Li Chengzhi roughly estimated that the steel consumption of each heavy infantry should be at least [-] kilograms... It is not that he is reluctant, but that if it is heavy, there will be no way to fight.

Among them, armor, greaves, armor skirts, and helmets totaled about 35 catties, five catties for gun heads, three catties for horizontal knives, and a quarter-square square shield for each person, which was worth about fifty catties.

The horse is only equipped with face armor, breast armor, and neck armor, and the steel consumption is about [-] pounds.The horse's body is entirely made of wooden armor, which can at least prevent short crossbows from ordinary hunting bows.

In this way, armed with a thousand heavy steps capable of riding, at least [-] catties of fine steel.

Even if the [-] catties of iron material can make more than [-]% of the steel, the gap is still about [-] catties.

But Li Chengzhi was not very worried.

Today is different from the past, there is a city as the backing, you don't have to worry about being cut off by the thieves, it is many times stronger than when you were on Kongtong Mountain.

You don't even need to worry too much about the food, the remaining two thousand catties of copper can be taken out first for turnover.

That is to say, it costs five or six hundred catties of colored copper, or buys it from a big family in the county, or asks Hu Baozong to send someone to go to Gaoping Town.

Going to that is closer to Gaoping Town, it is only over a hundred miles to the left and right, and you can run back and forth in two days.

Thinking of this, Li Chengzhi laughed at himself again. In future generations, this must be a business with a scale of millions, and he was a little despised?

But think about it again, if all the [-] catties of steel were made into armor, wouldn't it still be able to roll up twice as much?

With the strength and thickness of the high-carbon steel that has been smelted now, at least [-] sets of armor can be made.

If you take it out to exchange for food, a set of at least 120 shi will cost 4000 million shi, or [-] million catties...

Relying on the Li family's 400 mu of private land, it will take [-] years...

At this point, Li Chengzhi's scalp was a little numb.

Unconsciously, he did such a great thing?
How is this different from a miracle?
No wonder Li Song and others are so impressed with the five bodies they admire?
No wonder these bastards have so much self-confidence, they dare to shy away...

Li Chengzhi exhaled sharply and shook his head vigorously.

It's all over now, what do you regret?
I can only bite the bullet and go down cautiously...

Just as he was about to continue counting, he heard footsteps outside the door. Li Chengzhi listened carefully, and vaguely heard Guo Cunxin and Li Xian talking.

There should be an urgent matter to find him, otherwise Guo Cunxin could not have just left and ran back for no reason.

"Please come in, uncle!" Li Chengzhi shouted, getting up and going out at the same time.

He went out and saw that in addition to Guo Cunxin, there were also those two doctors.

The faces of the two doctors were ashen and covered in cold sweat, clearly frightened.

Looking at Guo Cunxin again, he was holding the list of ingredients he had just written to the doctor.

Is Guo Cunxin asking for a prescription?

Shouldn't it be?

Since this month, so many strange things have happened to me, as long as Hu Baozong knows, they have all told him.

Seeing that my uncle is not an unreasonable person, if he is really curious, he will definitely take a moment to ask himself in private, instead of embarrassing two little officials...
