106 Martial Reactions
"Lao Jia, he's finally back." Shang Wu put down the notebook in his hand and said.
"You arrange these things for me, and I'll go see him." Shang Wu said. He actually wanted to know. What kind of supplies did Lao Jia bring him?
In the small square of Lijiazhuang, it is very lively, because every time the arrival of supplies and the departure of weapons will make the children in the village magical, and they can also know some things, for example, what is written on the box, and some things are produced by their own father and mother. Speaking of which, they feel very spirited, because these things are produced from them.
"Lao Jia." Shang Wu shouted Lao Jia. Lao Jia's face was a little pale.
"What's wrong?" Shang Wu looked at the other party's face not very good.
"It's okay, it's okay. These are all materials I got from Luoyang, and I received your letter later. I sold all those jewels. Very good. Then I bought a lot of sulfur, saltpeter, pig iron, and so on. Lao Jia said.
"Food, I can't get you more, that's my limit." Lao Jia said.
"Enough. That's enough. You've solved many, many problems for us. Shang Wu said excitedly. The replenishment of these materials has alleviated the problem of their production of raw materials in a timely manner, and looking at those raw materials, Shang Wu felt very happy. Lao Jia came at the right time.
"Sir, sir." After Zhang Qing heard that a lot of supplies had come from the square, he hurried over.
"Sir, if there is anything we need, if so, give it to us, our production will continue." Zhang Qing said.
"Here you go, here you go, take it away." Shang Wu said.
"That's right. I asked you to collect cotton, how? It's also good to get some seeds. "Shangwu needs cotton, because cotton is a kind of new type of manufacturing, Shangwu can only look for other fiber materials in the river flats, those fiber materials are too short, too light, the effect is a lot, Shangwu experimented a few times, and then gave up. Moreover, cotton is a kind of cloth in the future, and it is one of the important foods for industrial development. To call it white gold is not an exaggeration at all.
"Oh. Collected a few, but not much, only a pack, which I bought from a merchant in the Western Regions. Cotton, not a lot, this thing, the demand is not very large. Therefore, the price given to us from the Western Regions is still very high. Lao Jia said helplessly.
"It's good to have." Shang Wu said. Cotton first spread from the south and the western regions. With the help of the exchange and promotion of the Silk Road, the silk of the Central Plains spread farther afield, and some other things also spread from the Western Regions, such as Buddhism and so on. And cotton is just one of them, at this time in the Central Plains, the importance of cotton is still not high, people's cloth is still linen, or silk. Winter clothes are made of simpler fabrics, but it takes more time to promote cotton.
"But I see that your face is wrong, why is it always pale and pale, there is no blood at all, is it because of fatigue. In that case, I think, you should check it out. Shang Wu noticed that Lao Jia's health didn't seem to be very good.
"I'm scared." Lao Jia saw that Shang Wu repeatedly asked about his situation, which moved him very much, and he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Scared?" Shang Wu looked at Lao Jia puzzled, he didn't know, how could there be such a situation when he was so scared? Shang Wu asked puzzled.
"Let's be honest, when we came, we rested in Cangting, and as a result, we saw the officers and soldiers slaughtering the unarmed Yellow Turban prisoners of war. The head was all cut off. Later, he concentrated his bow and arrows and shot them indiscriminately. The corpses, piled up very high, very high. The earth was stained red with blood. I'm scared. Lao Jia said excitedly. Shang Wu was shocked after hearing this. This news is really difficult for Shangwu to accept.
Massacre, for civilized people who came from the future, he naturally knew what it meant, and many innocent people were killed like that.
"Many, many heads, scared me, I can't sleep at night, these days, it's been like this." Lao Jia said. Shang Wu was also very anxious in his heart.
"Why do the officers and soldiers want to kill?" Shangwu asked.
"I don't know, maybe it's a thief army." Lao Jia said helplessly.
"This is the way of troubled times. Human life is as cheap as a dog. Lao Jia said helplessly.
"You go to the doctor first, perhaps, your situation is really not optimistic." Shang Wu said with some loss. Cangting, Shangwu knew that place, it might be less than a hundred kilometers away from Handan, maybe farther, but it was at such a distance that a large number of people were killed.
"This kind of thing, too much. When I was in Luoyang, I heard that this general Huangfu Song was too ruthless. Many of the Yellow Turbans who surrendered were killed. That's tens of thousands of people killed. The corpses and heads were all made into a temple in Beijing. Oh, miserable. Lao Jia said helplessly.
Hearing this, Shang Wu felt very sad, he didn't know what was wrong with those people, and they would be slaughtered in such a large number.
Could this be the way ancient people lived, and how they valued? Sangmu did not understand and could not understand why he did this. This kind of thing, Shang Wu is very difficult to understand. He just felt that those people were a pity. It's a shame.
Shang Wu didn't know how he answered his office, and his mood was a little low.
"I studied this infantry drill code and preliminarily formulated some drafts like this, you can take a look." Jia Xu said to Shang Wu.
"What's wrong? Difficult to do in the factory? Jia Xu asked Shangwu.
"No, it's not, it's just something, right. Have you heard about Cangting? Shang Wu asked.
"Oh. I know that Huangfu Song killed more than 7,000 people. Jia Xu said in a low voice.
"This Huangfu Song, why did he kill people, that was more than 7,000 lives, and he was killed like that?" Shang Wu said excitedly.
"I don't know about that. However, since those people have become thieves, it will be difficult for them to survive. Huangfu Song said.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, for the rebels, it is extremely harsh and cruel, and the rebels will not end well." Jia Xu seems to have seen this, and there is something in his tone that he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he seems to feel that there are too few people killed by Huangfu Song.
"No, it's too expensive. It's so big that it shouldn't have so many lives to fill in. Shang Wu said excitedly.
