Chapter 124: Machete?
"Fetch the armor." Lu Budao.
After two collisions, the gap was almost negligible.
Armor is made of animal skins and iron, and if it were forged entirely from iron, it would not only require a large amount of iron, but it would also be difficult for soldiers to move flexibly on the battlefield.
The hand raised and fell, and the armor failed to block the sharpness of the first knife of the Hundred Refining Ring, and it was directly damaged.
"Not bad." Lu Bu nodded.
Lu Tong arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the state pastor, if it is not for the state pastor, the grass people will be able to see the success of the forging of the hundred refining blades in their lifetime." ”
"Lu Lao doesn't need such a lot of courtesy, the craftsman workshop can forge a hundred refining blades, and the soldiers in the army can kill more enemy soldiers on the battlefield, Lu Lao is also contributing to the soldiers in the army." Lu Bu said with a smile.
Jia Xu's heart moved, from the conversation between the two, he could see that the success of the forging of the hundred refining steel blades had an inseparable relationship with Lu Bu, which made him quite puzzled, Lu Bu was a peerless general, invincible in the battlefield, not only with the production method of immortal jade, but also the method of forging the hundred refining blades.
"The forging of a hundred refining blades consumes a lot, and a hundred refining blades requires three or even four ordinary blades of iron." Lu channel.
"Create more hundred refining blades as soon as possible, and Ben Hou will order someone to send the number of blades that need to be forged." Lu Budao: "If there is a shortage of materials, the state pastor will find a way." ”
"Whoa." Lutong arched.
Forging a hundred refining blades, Lu Tong's whole person looked much more energetic.
Forging a hundred steel-making blades, the method that Lu Bu gave to Lu Tong is a simple means of steel-making in later generations, and a more intelligent steel-making technology, with the current technology, there is no way to complete it, and the Xuzhou army can be equipped with a hundred refining blades, which has opened a large distance for other princes.
After the mass production of the hundred refining blades, not only can they be equipped to the Xuzhou army, but they can also exchange a large amount of materials from the hands of the princes, which prince does not want the soldiers under his command to be more well-equipped.
At present, in the Xuzhou army, there are very few people above the military marquis who can use the hundred refining steel blades, which is enough to see the scarcity of the hundred refining blades.
The officers and men in the army will be greatly improved after they have more sophisticated blades.
Now the Xuzhou craftsman workshop can forge a hundred refining blades, which is a huge advantage.
"Congratulations to the lord for getting such a sharp blade, the Xuzhou army will definitely be able to crisscross the territory and be invincible in the future." Jia Xu arched his hand.
Lu Bu said with a smile: "Refining the blade is a big matter, and in the future, Wen He should not slack off in the matter of the craftsman's workshop, especially in secrecy." ”
"My subordinates understand." Jia Xu said.
Lu Bu gave too many surprises to the princes of the world, and after having a hundred refining blades, the surprises brought to the princes would be even greater.
As for the materials, Jia Xu believes that Lu Bu will solve it very well, the appearance of Xianyu has allowed Lu Bu to get a lot of money and materials, and the wealth accumulated in secret is enough to make other princes blush.
Jia Xu has a feeling that Lu Bu may create greater possibilities in the future.
Leveling the princes, achieving the cause of the king's hegemony, assisting the Han Dynasty, and becoming a famous minister through the ages, but he can leave his name in history.
It doesn't matter what kind of reputation you have in the past, if you become a king or lose, the loser will become a pinch of dust in the long river of history.
In the past, Chu and Han competed for hegemony, and the overlord Xiang Yu was so arrogant, some of the actions of Gaozu Liu Bang, although it was shameful, it was Gaozu Liu Bang who finally won the world, which was praised by future generations, and this is the benefit of success.
"Can this thing be forged?" Lu Bu pointed to the figure painted on the wall.
"Wen Hou, the grass people have never seen this thing before, and they will definitely try their best." Lu channel.
"Well, if you can forge successfully, Benhou will be rewarded." Lu Budao: "This craftsman's workshop forged a hundred refining blades, rewarded each craftsman with a thousand dollars, and Lu Lao rewarded him with ten thousand dollars. ”
"Thank you, Pastor Governor." Lu channel.
Thousands of dollars are not a number in the eyes of craftsmen, but Lu Tong values Lu Bu's later sentence more, being able to get an official reward means that a craftsman can also become an official, which is the greatest honor, such news, if it spreads in the craftsman's workshop, will make the craftsman's passion reach.
After Lu Tong left excitedly, Jia Xu said: "My lord, if you reward the craftsman's official position, I am afraid it will cause opposition from Xuzhou officials." ”
Lu Budao: "In the troubled times, there are not so many rules, and when the time comes, Benhou will let the craftsmen enjoy the treatment of officials, instead of going to various places to serve. ”
"The lord is wise, this move will definitely make the craftsman work harder." Jia Xu arched his hand.
Lu Bu's planning in the craftsman's workshop and the achievements of the current craftsman's workshop made Jia Xu quite surprised, it is no secret that the princes built the craftsman's workshop, and in the case that the imperial court does not provide blades and armor, everything requires the efforts of the princes themselves.
As for the materials needed to build blade armor, the princes can figure out their own way, the current taxes of the states are impossible to transport to the Chang'an court, in the eyes of the princes, Dong Zhuo is the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, and transporting rice and grain to the hands of the rebels is not to help the abuse.
The princes naturally withheld taxes and developed their strength.
"What is the blade that the lord said?" Jia Xu asked.
Lu Bu explained: "This is a scimitar, if it is equipped with cavalry, it will definitely be able to increase the combat effectiveness of cavalry. ”
The craftsman's workshop can create a hundred steel-making blades, so that Lu Bu sees many opportunities, and the equipment of a hundred steel-making blades into the army will bring about the improvement of the overall strength of the army, of course, if you want to equip the army on a large scale, it is difficult to support the financial resources of Xuzhou, which is several times the ordinary consumption, and such a price is unbearable
Xuzhou not only needs to develop military strength, the development of the city, but also needs to invest money, if there is a famine year, the state pastoral government also needs to take out rice and grain to help the people, these things must be taken into account.
The development of military strength is the first priority, and the development under the rule requires investment, and we still cannot relax.
"Machete?" Jia Xu groaned.
"When the scimitar is successfully built, Wenhe will be able to see the power of the scimitar." Lu Bu said with confidence, the scimitar is a sharp weapon for cavalry combat, and the blades used by the current cavalry are mainly spears, and the length of the spears can give the cavalry an advantage on the battlefield, but it is far inferior to the scimitar in terms of lethality.
The scimitar is light and flexible, saving the physical strength of the cavalry, speeding up the cavalry's killing speed on the battlefield, and when used properly, the cavalry's destructive power will be greater.
After leaving the craftsman's workshop, Lu Bu was not in a hurry to return to the city, but took Jia Xu to the place where the immortal jade was made.
