I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 253 Let's Do It and Cherish It
Gubu Ziqing followed Zhao Yang for most of his life. For a long time, as the first retainer of the Zhao family, it cannot be said that he did not have his own authority in the Zhao family, and because he was the successor of the new master, it was the moment he relied on the most.

It's just that the king is the king, and the minister is the minister. The king is discussing important matters, so it's not good for the minister to interrupt, right?

Zhiyao looked at Gubu Ziqing with a dissatisfied expression, and then looked at Zhao Bolu with great doubts.

In other words, Zhao Bolu is simple and honest, so he can't even tell the difference between monarch and minister. How could he allow Gubu Ziqing to have such courage.

In other words, Gubu Ziqing thought Zhao Bolu would make an inappropriate speech?

This really makes Zhiyao feel more and more that something is wrong, and it will be more difficult to confirm the situation for a while.

"There must be something wrong with Dai Jun regretting the marriage!" Zhiyao almost concluded, but there were still some doubts.

If the Zhao family made a fuss about the marriage with Dai Guo, it would be easy to find out whether Dai Jun regretted the marriage, and the problem afterward would not be just at 01:30.

At that time, even if the Zhao family can get some benefits, or even get big benefits, the already bad reputation will become even worse.

Gained temporary benefits and lost credibility?Given the current social environment, nobles with normal minds usually wouldn't do it.

Just right?The Zhao family has always been quite special, and they often make some showy operations, which cannot be regarded with common sense.

Zhiyao has doubts, mainly because her thinking is somewhat assimilated by the contemporary era, and secondly, she doesn't understand how insidious Zhao Wuxie can be.

If you study Zhao’s several generations of patriarchs, and then understand the personalities of Zhao Bolu and Zhao Wuxie, you will find that Zhao Bolu is similar to Zhao Cheng, and Zhao Wuxie, who was born as a concubine, combines the styles of Zhao Wu and Zhao Yang and has his own style. Thinking about things.

If you know who Luan Shu is, you will conclude that Zhao Wuji is the version of Luan Shu who lost his moral bottom line and finally succeeded.

Luan Shu?The No. [-] Laoyin Beep in the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period, the splendor of his life is very suitable for those who want to become a hero.

In the end, Zhao Bolu still didn't mention how much the Zhi family needed to send troops. The response he gave was that several families needed to discuss together. The next day, he went directly to Zhi Yao to say goodbye and left without staying.

Zhiyao summoned Taihu and ordered: "Follow the fate of the people to find out the big and small affairs of the country."

At present, Cheng Shuo is still on the side of Wutai Mountain, and two other "brigades" are stationed for a long time.

Originally, it would be more appropriate for Yang Hu in the "Huo people" to do this kind of thing. The problem is that Yang Hu has just arrived in "Huo people". There are too many things to do, and it is not suitable to be distracted.

Even if Zhiyao didn't understand why the Zhao family wanted to take action against Daiguo, at that time, they only needed to see how much support the Zhao family asked for from each family, and they could make a judgment at once.

In addition, if Zhao wants to do something, he can't act immediately, and it must take a while to prepare.

So, the wind has already blown, it is hard to say when to gather the wind to take advantage of the momentum.

"I always feel that this kind of thing is weird." What Zhiyao thought was not only the fact that the Zhao family had a dispute with Dai Guo, but also that other high-ranking families became Zhao's nannies.

Zhiyao, who has studied history, can find references from past examples. In history, San Que often used public tools for private purposes, but San Que's situation is different from Zhao's.

The third is that they are very powerful for private use of public weapons, and they want to use the power of Jin to attack princes who are disrespectful to them.

The Zhao family has been weakened, more like a little baby who has been bullied, asking the elders for support.

"Gubu Ziqing obviously doesn't want other families to participate? Is it the original pride that doesn't want to weaken the Zhao family's prestige, or is there some other reason?" Zhiyao thought.

In the follow-up, Zhishen didn't know what the situation was, so he didn't pass on the relevant news to Zhiyao, and delayed Zhiyao who thought he would get the news for a few days before sending someone back to inquire.

People who got Zhiyao outside did not know that Zhishen was suffering from heart disease.

Some stubborn people tend to get stuck in one thing and can't extricate themselves. Whether they can get out of it depends on their own thinking.

Zhishen's heart disease is nothing else, mainly worried about what situation Zhiyao will bring Zhishi to.

Zhiyao, who returns to "Xintian" again, will definitely find that something is wrong with Zhishen, it is best to enlighten Zhishen, otherwise she will make a compromise, and will keep everything away while Zhishen is alive.

The bottom line is that Zhiyao didn't think that just revealing a part would make Zhishen like that, and if she knew it, she would rot in her stomach.

The members of the Zhi family and their retainers will not immediately report to Zhiyao when they find that something is wrong with Zhishen.What's the matter?Didn't they become the secret agents that Zhiyao placed next to Zhishen?

Zhiyao, who has been staying in "Ye", needs to inspect the various workshops from time to time. Naturally, there is no need to interfere when the operation is normal. When there is trouble, it is the first time to find a solution.

At present, there are twelve large furnaces in "Ye" city. They are smelting continuously without extinguishing the fire every day. The iron ingots produced will be sent to the weapon or armor forging workshop, and the weapon embryos and armor parts will be forged and then sent to the next workshop for processing. , eventually turning into finished weapons and armor.

So a set of procedures is simply an assembly line model, not a workshop undertakes all the processes from scratch.

Twelve smelting furnaces are not too many, and new smelting furnaces will be added in the future.There are only twelve reasons for the time being. The main reason is that it is a bit troublesome to transport the iron ore and coal mines from various places. After the road is built, the transportation volume will increase, and you can see many chimneys in the city of "Ye" that keep emitting black smoke.

"If the reserves of weapons are sufficient, they can be used to make farm tools." Zhiyao didn't mention armor.

Compared with weapons, the manufacture of armor is more difficult, which leads to the lack of reserves no matter how much it is produced.

Ran You responded to the "no" first, and then said: "The oil still needs to be urged by the prince."

The Zhi family has fully used iron weapons, and how to maintain them is up to the owner. The weapons and armor in the warehouse will need to use grease.

For this, Zhiyao tinkered with soybean oil. The strange thing is that due to insufficient grain production, it was not put into the edible oil market, and it was specially used to maintain various military reserves.

During that period, there was one more thing that Zhiyao was proud of, that is, he found rapeseed flowers and experimented with extracting oil from rapeseed seeds, instead of "creating" the word "oil".

Before Zhiyao developed soybean oil and rapeseed oil refining, there was no vegetable oil, and the oil used for human consumption or other purposes was animal oil.Animal oil is very easy to coagulate, and people use the name "ointment".

Large-scale planting of rapeseed has never been done by a family before. Planting rapeseed is only used as a kind of vegetable. No one knows that rapeseed can also be squeezed out of oil.

Zhishi’s ability to extract oil from soybeans and rapeseeds has not been known to other families so far. Firstly, Zhishi’s secrecy work is very good, and secondly, everyone lacks relevant knowledge, so they don’t know at all. A certain thing can also squeeze out oil, and the most important thing is that it can be eaten.

The reality is like that, not knowing is a stumbling block, doing something that is obviously very simple has troubled countless people, and after knowing the answer, they suddenly realize it, and they still feel stupid.

When the Zhi family puts vegetable oil on the market one day, don't underestimate the various families. They can quickly detect the clues just from the fact that the vegetable oil is not easy to condense, and then conduct various spying on the Zhi family.

Families who know the answer will definitely not dare to imitate it and put it into the market. Once they do so, they will infringe Zhi's "patent" and then compete in the market, and they will be beaten all over the head.

They can produce it for their own use. They don't want to challenge Zhishi, but they can't put it on the market anyway!
Zhiyao has data here, the reserves of various weapons have reached [-], and the reserves of armor have reached [-] sets.

Because of the need for experimentation, Zhiyao designed many types of weapons and armor at the beginning, and then gradually eliminated the unrealistic works, and there were not so many types left.

Looking at how the new army returned from the expedition changed their outfits, we can find that there are no more spearmen and axemen, and a large number of spearmen have been added. Furthermore, the number of sword and shield soldiers has also increased, and the original spearmen have been retained. And spearmen, tower shield soldiers, a unique unit of Zhuxia, are naturally indispensable.

I don't know if it's a preconceived relationship, but Zhiyao always feels that as the battles become more frequent and the number of combatants increases again and again, the spearmen will soon face elimination.

The New Army Association is the pioneer of the Zhi Clan. They are responsible for exploring the use of new weapons. After repeated verifications in actual combat, the senior management of the Zhi Clan will judge whether it is suitable for the rest of the troops to promote.

There are reasons for the elimination of many weapons. For example, the elimination of Ge and Spear is nothing more than the inability of the combatants to learn the relevant skills for a long time.

Weapons such as spears and knives can kill people by stabbing and slashing, and they can be used on the battlefield after a short period of training.

In fact, Jin people's height and physique are very suitable for playing Mo Dao Bing, but Zhiyao has no idea how to train this special type of Mo Dao Bing.

Zhiyao didn't know how to train Mo Dao Bing, nor did she think about trying to do research.The reason is that there is no need to specifically restrain cavalry units at all, and one's energy is really limited, so do less research if it is not too urgent.

"Three years old! At most five years old, you need to have more than ten thousand armor reserves." Zhiyao didn't mention weapons.

The number of weapons reserves is already very appropriate, and any increase will increase the logistical pressure on maintenance.

The reserve of only four thousand sets of armor is obviously not enough, not to mention that it will be gone after a big battle, and the number is really small.

This little is based on Zhiyao's concept. Other families may not have more than [-] soldiers equipped with reliable armor, and dozens or hundreds of sets in reserve are considered more.

Not kidding, wooden armor, bamboo armor, rattan armor, and Lianjia are all armors. Every powerful family still pursues leather armor. Who doesn’t want metal armor if they are capable?But it can't be done!
"As long as we persevere, the production capacity of weapons and armor in 'Ye' city will definitely be improved again!" Zhiyao was very proud of herself for building this functional city.
