After decomposing the general trend of the world, Liu Xie looked around at the generals and asked: "It will be very difficult for us to subdue so many princes and revitalize the Han family, I don't know if Qing and others have this confidence?" ”

All the generals said: "I wish to smear my liver and brain to repay the grace of God!" ”

Liu Xie said again: "Very good, Qing and others are so loyal, I am very generous, I believe in you, you must also believe in me, I will lead you to calm the world!" ”

Jia Xu stepped forward and said: "Although Your Majesty is young, Your Majesty's ability is obvious to all. The minister can describe His Majesty in eight words. ”

"Which eight words?" Liu Xie asked, he believed that Jia Xu would definitely say something touching from his mouth.

Jia Xu said: "There is no one before and no one after him!" ”

Liu Xie laughed and said, "Lao Jia, you are exaggerating too much. ”

Liu Xie thought to himself that if there was no small dictionary, how could Lao Tzu come to this point, it is estimated that he is still being held hostage by Dong Zhuo now, and he has achieved nothing.

Thinking so, the little dictionary immediately said proudly in his mind: "Thank you for the master's praise, the little dictionary swears allegiance to you." ”

Jia Xu said: "No, Your Majesty, what the minister said is true, try to ask so far, which emperor can turn the group of heroes at a young age and laugh at the heroes?" Even if there was no one before, the minister dared to say that there would not be one in the next generation for a thousand years!"

The ministers echoed: "What Wen He said is extremely true! ”

Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "Okay, if you praise me like this, I will be proud." Okay, the big goal for the future is now set. Now, Luoyang Chang'an has been decided, although the heroes are looking at each other, they dare not come to attack for the time being. So I guess we'll have at least two years to prepare.

"Zi said: If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and without adequate preparation, we can't compete with the heroes."

Speaking of this, Liu Xie deliberately stopped, looked around at the generals, and Jia Xu asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty is preparing for." ”

Liu Xie said: "First of all, we must work our weapons, sharp weapons are the magic weapon to win, and the sharp weapons I want to make will be unprecedented." Each soldier, whether cavalry or infantry, is equipped with two sets of weapons, a blade and a crossbow! Little Luozi, bring the drawings! ”

Xiao Luozi immediately took out a large stack of drawings and distributed them to the generals one by one with a few eunuchs, Liu Xie said: "What you see now is the blueprint of a single crossbow, this kind of crossbow is different from a light crossbow in the traditional sense, although it is almost the same in terms of damage, and the range cannot catch up with the bow, but this crossbow of mine has a very superior burst function.

"You can load ten crossbow arrows at a time, there is an arrow pushing mechanism under the crossbow groove, when the soldier is using it, first pull the crossbow string, after shooting an arrow, the arrow pusher will quickly push the next arrow into the arrow groove, and the soldier only needs to pull the crossbow string again to launch the second arrow."

This kind of individual light crossbow, from the perspective of modern people, is obviously still very clumsy, but it was already very advanced at the time. At that time, the application of the crossbow was originally scarce, because of its short range and low damage.

There is a bow in long-range combat, and in melee combat, the crossbow needs to be shot once and the arrow is loaded once, which is very troublesome, so it is not suitable for melee combat. Now the repeater designed by Liu Xie can be loaded with arrows all the time, saving a lot of trouble, and will show a certain power in medium-range battles.

Jia Xu was the first to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, this crossbow is good, but if you have a large amount of equipment, it will require a lot of manpower to build it, plus the use of materials, this is a lot of expenses." ”

Liu Xie said with a smile: "I need every melee soldier to be equipped with this kind of repeater, it will indeed cost a lot, and I also have a god-level version of this repeater: fire crossbow!" It will cost more than this! ”

"Firebolt?" The generals began to talk about it.

"That's right, Firebolt!" Liu Xie said, "Fire crossbows will not need crossbow strings......"

Everyone was even more surprised, there was no crossbow string, how could this crossbow arrow be launched? You can't let people throw it out, right? What arm strength it takes!

Seeing that everyone was so surprised, Liu Xie smiled and said, "Gunpowder, have you heard of it?" ”

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, gunpowder was rarely used in the military. Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty's sunset crossbow seems to use gunpowder. ”

Liu Xie said: "Lao Jia is right, gunpowder is used for fire arrows and fire meteors, but time is in a hurry, and the sunset crossbow has not yet developed a gunpowder launch mechanism, so the sunset crossbow still has a lot of room for upgrades." That's not just the power of three stones, the power of thirty stones is possible. ”

Everyone was very surprised, and Jia Xu asked again: "Your Majesty, the ministers have only heard of using gunpowder to make explosives, but they have never heard of using gunpowder to launch arrows." ”

Liu Xie smiled and said: "Then I will let you listen to it today, you just need to remember, what I said will become reality in the future." The individual light fire crossbow, the upgraded version of the heavy sunset fire crossbow, and the subsequent large number of weapons will cost a huge amount of money. Don't be reluctant to give up this money, without money, what will we do to fight, how can we pacify the world? ”

Jia Xu asked again: "But where to get so much money?" ”

Liu Xie said: "This is what my Royal Manufacturing Division will do, the Royal Manufacturing Division will not only produce weapons, but also produce civilian items, such as all kinds of iron tools, furniture, vehicles, etc., these things can be made and sold, and the money from the sale can be used to produce weapons." ”

Zhao Yun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there has been turmoil for many years, and the people are not making a living, so I'm afraid that the things we produce will not be sold." ”

Liu Xie said: "Zilong's concerns are reasonable, but don't worry, I have my own set of plans, if I want things to be sold, I want the people to have money, and if I want the people to have money, I have to let the people have something to do." Since ancient times, what the common people have to do is nothing more than to farm and weave, this traditional agricultural thinking, we have to abandon, from now on, a new pre-industrial era will begin! ”

Liu Xiezhi also wanted to add the word "former" in front of the industrial age, because he knew that the so-called industrial age established under his leadership was still far from the real industrial age.

Liu Xie said again: "If you want to sell something, you have to produce, and you need money to produce, how can the initial money come from?" I thought of the best way to do it, and that was to take a stake! ”

Liu Xie introduced the joint-stock system to his Han dynasty for the first time.

"From now on, everyone, whether high-ranking officials or ordinary people, can take a stake in the Royal Manufacturing Division. The manufacturing division will have a two-year start-up period, and after the start-up period ends, it will be its earnings period, and the earnings period will begin, and dividends will be distributed according to the number of shares. The more you invest, the more money you get! ”

Liu Xie looked at everyone and found that they all had confused expressions, but Xiao Luozi on the side was in a hurry, so he screamed: "It's a share, the more people who join, the more money they will get!" Your Majesty, the slave is willing to invest ten taels of silver. ”
