The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 369: Jiangling’s bows and crossbows are the best in the world, Guan Youyu settles in Jiangling

Luo Yuan understood even more clearly that although this device was powerful, its consumption of crossbow arrows was absolutely terrifying, and the production of crossbow arrows in Jiangdong relied entirely on manual labor!
Without more convenient bow and crossbow manufacturing equipment, Jiangdong cannot afford the consumption of crossbow arrows.

To sum up, this system is too advanced for Jiangdong.

Jiangdong's productivity is completely unable to bring out the power of this thing.

"Wenhe, Jiangdong cannot afford the arrows for the Liushui Crossbow. Moreover, the Jiangdong navy mainly uses bows and arrows, and they use feather arrows."

Jia Xu noticed the difference in Luo Yuan's words: Jiangling used crossbows and arrows, Jiangdong used feather arrows, and Cao Cao's army also mostly used bows and arrows.

The manufacturing process of feather arrows is complicated. The reason why feather arrows are used is because they can make bows and arrows more accurate.

Jia Xu asked, "Did you not use feather arrows when you asked Jiangling, but crossbow arrows?"

"Yes"

"But the crossbow has a short range and is not accurate!"

That's because your craftsmanship is not good enough!
Luo Yuan thought about it and realized that Jia Xu was not an outsider, so it was a good opportunity to let Lao Cao know that his crossbow was different from theirs. If he wanted it, he had to be obedient.

"The bowstrings of Jiangling's crossbows are different from yours. Your crossbows are made of a mixture of hemp ropes and beef tendons. Jiangling is rich in fish glue, and there are many fish in the Yangtze River. In addition, the local hemp is also excellent. Our crossbows can shoot 200 meters and still have the power to kill the enemy.
Jia Xu stared, this is already within the attack range of a bow and arrow!

How did you do it!
"My crossbow can fire continuously. It uses the structure of a Han crossbow and is light and durable. If Meng De and I can reach an agreement on some things, Jiang Ling can sell some to Meng De."

Jia Xu nodded and understood!

Jia Xu then went back and talked to Cao Cao, who took a deep breath.

Luo Gongqi is so bad that he didn't tell me about this good thing earlier and asked Cao Jie to go home and sell toilet paper.

Don’t you know you need this kind of thing?

"He said that as long as I agree to the currency issue, he can sell it to us. Do Liu Bei and Sun Quan know about this?"

Jia Xu said: "I think they don't know. This is a secret of Gongqi's army and they won't tell anyone else!"

Cao Cao then nodded with satisfaction, thinking that you are still a human being.

Then Cao Cao became unhappy and his talks with Sun Quan and Liu Bei broke down.

Boss Cao invited the two men to have tea and expressed his sincerity that he hoped the two men would submit to him. He promised not to kill them and would give them high positions and generous salaries. After Sun Quan and Liu Bei surrendered to him, they would both be granted titles of nobility.

As a result, both Sun Quan and Liu Bei pretended to be dead!

"The blue-eyed boy and the straw sandal seller are so ungrateful. I wanted to put the people first and have the three families negotiate peace. In this way, there would be no need to mobilize troops in Jiangnan. Since Liu Bei and Sun Quan have surrendered, the world should be pacified. I didn't expect that no one would appreciate my efforts. Those two people were only thinking about themselves."

Cao Cao was very angry and spoke faster: "I should send troops south to seize the opportunity to pacify Jiangdong. Now they are all in Jiangling, so we can catch them all in one fell swoop. What do you think, Wenhe?"

You're causing trouble again!

Jia Xu said tiredly: "Prime Minister, please think about Gongqi. If the Prime Minister sends troops, it will force Gongqi and the Prime Minister to go to war. The combat effectiveness of the Jiangling army is unpredictable!"

"It's okay to give it a try. I have ordered Xu Zhu to lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to the south." Cao Cao said with a smile, "When I kill Liu Bei and Sun Quan, what can Gong Qi do?"

Jia Xu was stunned and didn't know what to say. Boss Cao was really too willful.

At this time, Cao Cao grabbed Jia Xu's wrist and said, "I know you and Gongqi are close friends, so it's ok to have some exchanges on a daily basis, but you can't tell him about this. If it gets out, I won't forgive you!" Cao Cao's eyes were serious. Jia Xu knew it was a warning, so he said angrily, "Prime Minister, do you think Gongqi won't know if I don't tell him? Jiangling is his place, and Gongqi is well-known and well-loved by the people. I'm worried about Xu Zhu..."

"Xu Zhu is a fierce general under my command, why should I be careful?"

Jia Xu said anxiously: "Prime Minister, you use soldiers like ghosts. Jiangling has few soldiers, but there are still Yulin cavalry. Prime Minister has seen cavalry appear in the city recently!"

Cao Cao was stunned and looked at Jia Xu with suspicion.

Jia Xu said anxiously, "The Jiangling Yulin are so elusive. I thought Gongqi had already arranged the cavalry outside. Xu Zhu is coming from Bowang, so he must pass Yangguan. The area outside Yangguan is open, which is just right for cavalry to move freely. Huang Zhong's troops are also nearby. Prime Minister, quickly order Xu Zhu to stop advancing, otherwise he will be in great trouble!"

Cao Cao didn't believe it. He thought his arrangement was a spur-of-the-moment decision. How could Luo Yuan know that?

Seeing that Jia Xu did not trust him, Cao Cao was immediately dissatisfied. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were famous all over the world, so how could the Jiangling Yulin compare to them?

Cao Cao said, "Just wait and see!"

He also did not allow Jia Xu to leave his side, lest he inform Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan spent the next few days receiving guests in the military commander's mansion. Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Cao Cao were all very busy, and they also needed to receive the nobles from all over the place.

No one paid any attention to Luo Yuan. The nobles from the north were naturally on Cao Cao's side, and those from Jiangdong went to see Sun Quan. Liu Bei was more miserable, as he took the initiative to go out and visit those famous families!

Luo Yuan felt that he was attracting investment!
Guan Ning stayed in Jiangling for half a month and decided not to leave. During this half month, he visited various places in Jiangling and found that the local people lived a good life!
Jiangling has a peaceful law and order, and Luo Yuan is willing to support education!

Today, Luo Yuan invited Zhang Zhongjing to accompany him to welcome Guan Ning to Jiangling.

Guan Ning looked at Luo Yuan with a smile: "How do you plan to deal with me, my lord?"

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Sir, you are good at teaching and educating people, but you are not suitable to be an official. I want to promote culture and education. You can be the principal of a school and educate the young children. When they learn to read, they can study medicine or textiles in college. Character recognition is the most important thing in culture and education."

Guan Ning immediately bowed his hands and said, "That's what I thought. The characters used in Jiangling are very novel. I heard that they were created by you, Your Excellency? But characters are the wisdom of our ancestors. Every word has its source. Your Excellency's modification does not necessarily mean that the original meaning of the characters has been lost!"

That’s too polite!

I know you want to scold me for changing the characters randomly. Luo Yuan is not surprised at all. Those nobles who came to Jiangling found that the local characters were full of typos and they had been cursing every day.

But Luo Yuan just pretended that they didn’t exist as long as he didn’t see them and didn’t hear those people cursing!

You know nothing. It’s enough if the words can be used well. Does the original meaning matter? Naturally, there are people with free time to do archaeological research. For ordinary people, the purpose of words is to be convenient to use.

It’s just a few words anyway, as long as the meaning remains unchanged.

Simplified Chinese is the official language of Jiangling. You can call it typos or garbage if you want to learn it or not. If you don’t learn it, don’t even think about becoming an official.

"Sir, you are too polite. Actually, I know that the nobles scolded me for changing the characters, but those characters were made to make it easier for the common people to understand. It turns out that Chinese characters are too complicated and difficult to understand. Sir, you won't be unwilling to stay in Jiangling because of this, right?"

Luo Yuan felt that Guan Ning was very suitable to be the principal of a middle school, responsible for the education of children from elementary school to middle school.

Guan Ning shook his head: "I also think those words are very convenient. The original meaning of the words remains unchanged. Although I really want to curse, I think that you are doing this for the people, so I can't say anything."

Is it right!

Clear!
