Correct later......

Cao Liang was very satisfied with Cao Fu's operation, so even if he returned to Luoyang this time, he was not prepared to interfere too much in Cao Fu's operation, and all the business was still handled by Cao Fu.

On the Grange's side, Agui became the new steward.

Caojia Grange is the most important production base of the Cao family, all the five stone powder is produced here, and the manufacture of crossbows has not stopped, and the original manufactured inventory has been transported to the front line of Bingzhou by Cao Liang, so Grange began to manufacture and produce repeaters in large quantities.

Although the agricultural production of the Grange has reached the point of insignificance, in order to hide people's eyes, the Grange has to grow grain and vegetables step by step, otherwise the Grange does not produce grain and vegetables, so as not to make people suspect that there are ghosts in it.

Originally, the steward of the Grange was transferred to the Gaoling Marquis Mansion as a housekeeper, so Cao Liang arranged for Cao Gui to be the steward of the Grange.

On the third day after Cao Liang arrived home, he personally rushed to the Grange to inspect.

Now the grange has become quite prosperous, Cao Gui became the manager of the grange, and bought a few adjacent pieces of land, now the scale of the Cao family grange, than before is several times larger, Cao Gui will be around the grange of tenants to arm, the formation of the family guards, set up guards, in the past some people with ulterior motives can still snoop on the periphery of the grange, now the peripheral land also belongs to the Cao family, they want to set foot again, it is already very difficult.

As the core part of Cao's Grange, outsiders are not allowed to enter, even those who serve as peripheral guards cannot enter the core area without permission.

In this way, no matter what is done in the core area, no one outside will know.

Cao Gui's caution is justified, after all, building and secretly storing such a large number of weapons, but it seriously violates the laws of the imperial court, once it is reported by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be serious.

Therefore, Wushisan can be produced and manufactured here, but the crossbow is not good, it can only be done secretly, but from the bright side, it will not arouse too much suspicion from others, after all, Wushisan can be used as an excuse, Caojia Grange is so heavily guarded, just to prevent outsiders from stealing the formula of Wushisan.

Cao Liang praised Cao Gui's precautionary measures, and the manager of the grange had to be like Agui, a bold and careful person, thoughtful and meticulous, and the plan was arranged in an orderly manner.

In order to equip the Pingbei Army, Cao Liang almost emptied all the crossbows in the Grange, and now Cao Gui has arranged manpower to continue to build repeaters, and now the inventory of repeaters has recovered to half of the previous number, according to the current production rate, I believe that it will not be long before the inventory of repeaters can be restored to the original quantity.

Compared with the simple production of repeaters, Cao Liang is now more concerned about how to establish a repeater team, now the situation in Luoyang has become very sensitive, the coup d'état of the Sima family may really happen in advance, the repeater is hidden in the cellar, after all, it is a dead thing, if you want to really play efficiency, you must cultivate a team that can control the repeater.

This team must be formed in the name of the family, and the scale cannot be too large, the family is used to watch the family nursing home, no matter what kind of weapons they are equipped with, no one will have any doubts about the team of two or three hundred people.

But no matter how many people there are, it's hard to say, why did the Sima family secretly cultivate 3,000 dead soldiers, this is obviously far beyond the regulations of the imperial court, once it is verified, the Sima family's crime of rebellion will be confirmed, and Sima Yi will immediately fall to the ground.

Therefore, the Sima family is very secretive in the matter of the dead soldiers, and no one can catch their handles, even if Cao Liang knows about the existence of these three thousand dead soldiers, but he can't get evidence, it is in vain.

So even if he knew the truth, Cao Liang had to keep silent, he had never revealed such news to anyone, and he had not reported it with real evidence, so it was easy to fall into the mouth of the truth and be accused of being defiled.

In the Gao Pingling incident, Huan Fan was because he shouted at the city gate that Sima Yi had rebelled, and was finally wiped out by Sima Yi.

Therefore, Cao Liang must also learn from Sima Yi to do things, at least he can't be caught by anyone, Cao Liang of three thousand dead soldiers does not dare to hope for extravagance, but it should not be difficult to form a team of three or five hundred people.

Previously, Cao Liang had formed a team of more than 200 people, but when he recruited troops in Hedong, there was a lack of manpower, so Cao Liang simply recruited these more than 200 people together with 200 crossbows to the Pingbei Army, and in several battles with the Xiongnu Xianbei people, this crossbow team played an important role.

It's just that this team has now been incorporated into the shooting battalion, and it is impossible to return to Luoyang, so after Cao Liang arrived at the Grange, the first request to Cao Gui was to reorganize a crossbow team.

Cao Gui told Cao Liang that he had not rested in the past few years, and had trained and trained a lot of repeaters to guard the Grange in the name of the Jiading team.

Moreover, the size of this team has already reached two hundred, even if there are not so many repeaters at present, at least in terms of staffing, it is perfect enough.

Cao Gui's arrangement made Cao Liang very happy, after all, it is much more difficult to train a repeater than to train an archer, the archer is simple to operate, and he can be competent if he can draw the bow, but the repeater is different, the Bijing repeater can be known as one of the most complex weapons and equipment in this era, and it is difficult to operate such a sophisticated weapon without a few years of work.

Seeing that the coup d'état is imminent, and now to train crossbowmen, it is a bit of a cramming, Cao Liang has been busy fighting on the front line, and has long ignored this matter, and now he is up to do it, he feels a little late, but he didn't expect Cao Gui to think of the front, and do this thing, and it is beautiful, which makes Cao Liang very pleased, it seems that these two positions, really chose the right person, and it really saved Cao Liang a lot of heart.
