The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 327 Step by step

After discussing with Zhou Ping, Zhou Ping went down and began to estimate the military resources needed for this war based on needs, and then reported the military resources to Chu Hui and other internal affairs personnel, and then used this as a goal to raise funds.

However, compared with last year, due to the recovery of the Central Plains this year, the cost of supplying the same hundreds of thousands of troops will be further spread out, and the pressure on food and grass will be further reduced.

However, due to the loss of supplies from canals and rivers, although Liu Tai will have more food and grass in his hands, if he wants to attack Longyou, the food and grass consumed on the road will further increase. In terms of detailed calculation, it still needs a real fight to know.

Liu Tai continued to look at the map, looking at Tongguan and feeling more or less in trouble, although this level was not yet at its peak.

Even so, if he wanted to deal with this level, he still had to use stupid methods, which made Liu Tai feel a little sad.

Liu Tai knew very well that this was the best way to attract all the attention of Zhao State, which was to attack Tongguan with a force of 100,000, so that Tongguan might really be captured. Only in this way could he achieve his goal.

But if this is the case, then the soldiers under his command may have to pay the price with blood this time.

Liu Tai couldn't help but sigh. Although he knew that people would die in battle, he was already used to death.

I have long been used to the so-called love of soldiers as sons and use of them as clay.

But knowing that they would die, yet letting them carry out this order made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Liu Tai thought of this, and after he formulated the industrial layout, he began to implement the company's relocation project.

There are iron ore and coal mines everywhere in China, but at most the quality of the coal and iron ore is not as good as those in Tangshan.

Therefore, even if these companies relocate to the surrounding areas of Luoyang, the quality of the iron ore they refine will still be somewhat different from that produced by the Coal Division.

This requires Jie Fei to improve the process and adjust slowly, so Jie Fei is still quite busy!

At this moment, Liu Tai summoned him, and Jie Fei did not dare to show any slightness. After seeing Liu Tai, he saluted respectfully.

"Okay, okay, get up and talk!" Liu Tai waved his hand and calmly said to Jie Fei.

Of course, although Liu Tai behaved calmly, Jie Fei did not dare to be careless in any way, but stood aside cautiously.

After all, Jie Fei still respects Liu Tai. Jie Fei knows who gave him this honor.

Although the status of craftsmen will be improved every time in troubled times, no matter how high this improvement is, it cannot compare with that of nobles from aristocratic families.

He was only a craftsman who knew how to work, but he was favored by Liu Tai and gradually became a master craftsman that he could not even imagine. Jie Fei still cherished his treatment very much.

"Report to the king, why did you summon the minister?" Jie Fei boldly asked Liu Tai.

"There are probably two things. One is to try to make some triangular ones. If the quality is good, then find a way to mass-produce them.

Another question is whether a vehicle can be developed that can carry a large amount of soil and is convenient for shoveling.

After all, it would be too troublesome if we all rely on soldiers to resist sacks when we attack a city. If we can have a vehicle to shovel a large amount of soil in the distance and then quickly transport it to the enemy's city, the project of filling the mountain with soil will be much simpler! "

Liu Tai looked at Jie Fei and said his own thoughts. He was going to fight Zhao State next. Although he looked down on it, he would not be careless.

After all, Zhao State is still a small country, which is completely different from the princes.

Therefore, Zhao Guo's cohesion will be stronger, and he will be able to collect more information about how Liu Yao failed in the first place.

At this time, if they dare to rush out to fight with me when I attack Zhao State, then I will definitely suspect that they have prepared some trump cards to attract me.

But no matter what means they prepare, they must face the fish scale armor of their own army.

The improved defense brought by the equipment has increased a lot of fault tolerance for the soldiers on the battlefield. With the grassroots soldiers wearing armor, Liu Tai took a lot of advantage when fighting his main opponent.

But once or twice is considered the first kill, and it is impossible for you to keep killing.

In this world, rich people have rich people's thoughts, and poor people have poor people's thoughts. Liu Tai can't think of the poor people's thoughts. He will wait until he sees them. But Liu Tai knows the thoughts of rich people very well, which is to stack thicker armor and use krypton gold to control it. The shortcomings are compensated longer than the enemy's strengths.

Therefore, a weapon like the Mitsubishi Military Spur, which is specially designed to poke at the joints, is quite effective.

If you really encounter enemy soldiers who imitate your own army and put on fish scale armor to fight head-on with you, it's a good time to try out the sharpness of the three-sided sword.

"The production of Sanlengyan has been relatively standard since the Spring and Autumn Period. It can be said that it is used for fish scale armor. However, this kind of stabbing test is the most important test of the quality of the material. I am afraid that I will need Mr. Ge Hong's assistance to make special steel. That’s it!”

Jie Fei thought for a moment and made corresponding suggestions to Liu Tai.

"Just take my order and ask Mr. Ge for help!" Liu Tai said to Jie Fei.

After Ge Hong and Fo Tucheng solved the resistance of the foreign corvee, they re-immersed themselves in the research to prove carbon and iron.

However, Ge Hong's progress is still not fast. After all, in things like the periodic table, the more you prove the properties of the previous elements, the more difficult it becomes. If there are more numbers, it will be easier to evaluate according to the previous standards.

For Ge Hong, the most difficult thing now is how to obtain high-purity iron and carbon. This is inevitable with Jie Fei, because in this way he can use the power of the general to accomplish what he wants. experiment of.

If you just rely on your own strength, even if you want to mess with chemistry and just purify this project, you will involve the Ge family, which is not rich in the first place.

After all, Ge Hong's ambition has always been to cultivate immortality, and as a wealthy couple, wealth ranks first.

Relying on the country to help you understand the world is to some extent the best way to solve problems.

Jie Fei nodded, he had exactly this intention, but he still needed a warrant from Liu Tai.

After all, there was no instruction from Liu Tai. When he went to find Ge Hong, although Ge Hong didn't seem to care much, he always felt that he was inferior to Ge Hong.

Jie Fei's talent in equipment is a bit like engineering integration. He is good at integrating various equipment together, and then coordinates and integrates it. One equipment can replace the functions of many equipment.

Simply letting Jie Fei invent things, as long as the principles are explained, Jie Fei can basically accomplish the goal. To a certain extent, Jie Fei can be regarded as a genius in applied engineering. Ge Hong, on the contrary, if Ge Hong is asked to study any application engineering, he really can't do anything. But if Ge Hong is asked to pursue the fundamental logic of that kind of thing, Ge Hong is not only quite willing to pursue it, but also has talents in this area. Very extraordinary.

The combination of the two, at least so far, is working very well together, and Liu Tai is also quite optimistic about it.

Liu Tai quickly recruited another person, Li Qinghe, who was also Liu Tai's junior officer.

Liu Tai asked Li Qinghe, "I brought you here today because I wanted to ask you about the harvest of Bai Diazi?"

"Reporting back to the king, since the king ordered the Weaving Bureau to sow the seeds, the annual harvest last year has reached three thousand catties, and the farming technology has been mastered.

This year, white mats have been sown one after another and the cultivated area has been increased. I estimate that the amount of white mats this year should reach 10,000 kilograms! "

At this moment, Li Qinghe replied respectfully.

"Not bad!" Liu Tai nodded after hearing Li Qinghe's words, "The weather is getting colder and colder now, and these white stacks are an indispensable material for our army.

You continue to study how to improve the efficiency of weaving this white die. If Chang'an is captured, Longyou is recovered, and the land that my Han family lost in the northwest is recovered, I will definitely let this white die be cultivated on a large scale in the north. .

When the time comes, the world will be clothed and people will no longer suffer from hunger and cold. You will also have a share of the credit for this. "

Things like Bai Diazi were found soon after Liu Tai moved to Yecheng.

After all, Yecheng was once considered the capital of Cao Wei, so there are still several famous families here.

These famous families may not have special things, but there is really no shortage of such exotic flowers and herbs. Not only cotton, but also the original medicine of Ma Fei Powder, Manzhu Shahua, has been obtained.

When Li Qinghe heard Liu Tai's words, his eyes couldn't help but become brighter. Compared with his past life, Li Qinghe felt more fulfilled now that he was managing the Weaving Bureau.

Perhaps it was the female talent passed down in her blood that allowed Li Qinghe to always overcome difficulties one by one as long as he worked hard.

To be honest, the status of Li Qinghe Weaving Bureau is relatively large. Not only can it manage the materials and hierarchical ranking of clothing in the palace, but also outside the palace, from the ordinary military uniforms of soldiers to the raw materials for the production of clothing, the Weaving Bureau All are involved.

To put it simply, the entire weaving bureau is responsible for the entire apparel industry chain from top to bottom. It is the first industry that Liu Tai completed industrial integration and formed a closed-loop industry.

After all, clothes are a necessity for both men and women. Even in modern society, clothes are a large industry with a scale of more than one trillion yuan, let alone ancient times. In this era, cloth is a hard currency. currency.

If there were no salt stamps created using salt as the mark, then with the development of history, cloth would become a hard currency in history.

Even now, the two industries of clothing and food are the foundation of national taxation. In other words, they still collect taxes in kind, whether it is food or cloth, which can be directly converted into corresponding taxes.

Now, Liu Tai has not implemented a whipping method.

The important reason is that the speed of the battle is a bit fast, and the people have not developed the habit of using salt stamps.

Of course, relatively speaking, Qingzhou is more accustomed to it. Even so, if it goes down to the village level, there will be many cases of bartering.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, the reason why Zhang Juzheng was able to successfully promulgate a whip law was that a large amount of silver poured into the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty itself did not lack silver, so that silver could be used as a subject matter to smoothly operate in the entire democratic system.

But it's different now. Salt tickets have only been around for a long time, and people may not even fully understand all the words on them.

Under such circumstances, if I implement a whipping method and convert all money and food into salt coupons, I am afraid that many people will take advantage of the tax payment time to make profits every year, and I don’t know how many families will be ruined by then.

However, although Liu Tai had no intention of implementing a whipping method, Liu Tai had not never thought about freeing the people from the pain of the poll tax.

At least Liu Tai's idea is that as corvee work requires payment, it becomes normal. At the same time, Gou Chun has rich experience in collecting taxes on land. After Gou Chun completes the improvement of the tax collection system in the Central Plains, he will Think about how to implement a whipping system.

Increasing land tax and reducing poll tax will make investigation easier for the tax bureau.

After all, people are easy to hide, but land is not easy to hide. As long as you are willing to investigate, you can eventually find clues.

In this era, any powerful force will be broken when faced with Liu Tai. No matter how crazy the family is, facing a guy like Liu Tai who wants to forcefully break the family's ideas, toughness will bring about Liu Tai's Tougher.

Unless Liu Tai is defeated head-on on the battlefield, most aristocratic families will be dismembered by Liu Tai as long as they force themselves!

At this moment, Li Qinghe heard Liu Tai's words and said to Liu Tai, "It's all the kindness of the king. How dare I take credit for it!"

Liu Tai nodded and continued: "These white stacks are cultivated, you should deal with them as soon as possible.

Winter clothing made into gloves, hats, clothes, etc. may be used by soldiers in the army. "

"No!" Li Qinghe nodded repeatedly, but did not dare to ask in detail.

However, the work he has been doing has made Li Qinghe very clear that any matter involving the military is the best option for today's big men. Even Liu Tai often said that if it is to rush work for the military, then even the palace It’s okay to stop weaving here.

Of course, that's what Liu Tai said. If you really dare to do this, then I am afraid that I am a bit tired of being the Jinguan of the Weaving Bureau. I don't want this outfit anymore and want to go back and become an actor again.

So it must be grasped with both hands, both hands must be strong, the military must be satisfied, and the palace must also be taken care of.

If you can't do it, you just have to stay up a few nights and catch up on time. There is nothing that 996 can't do. If there is, then go to 007.

"Yes!" Liu Tai agreed when he saw Li Qinghe, but waved his hand to let Li Qinghe go down.

With Zhou Ping to count military supplies, Jie Fei to research weapons and machinery, and now Li Qinghe to prepare clothes, no matter what, although he has not yet begun to attack Da Zhao, his plan for Da Zhao has already begun, and the third The first step is to stock up on supplies.

I just hope that I can successfully capture the Zhao Kingdom and complete the integration of the entire north. By then, I will be able to look forward to Shu, and only Shu and Jiangnan will be left as the two most difficult bones to crack.
