Nanzheng, Taishou Mansion. It is recommended to read the novel for the first time

Zhou Fan was holding a heavy black iron armor and looking left and right.

"My lord, these days, there are refugees and people from other places going to Hanzhong to settle down, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses that the lord said have all been recruited, and now they still want to take in refugees and soldiers and horses?" Cheng Yu said lightly.

"So fast!" Zhou Fan was taken aback and put down the thick armor in his hand.

"And that's not thanks to the name of the White Tiger!" Cheng Yu smiled and said, "But now more and more people want to see the white tiger, I don't know what the lord plans to do?" ”

Since the news of the white tiger auspicious rui spread, this Hanzhong became famous for a while. Originally, this Hanzhong was not affected by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it was relatively stable, coupled with Zhou Fan's wanton reception of refugees, many refugees outside flocked to it.

And now the news of this white tiger has come out, not only more refugees have come to Hanzhong, but also some ordinary people from other places have migrated with their families, in order to get the protection of the white tiger.

is also carried, the previous recruitment of troops, also driven by this white tiger, now Zhou Fan is the White Tiger Star descended, who doesn't want to be a soldier under him, the quota of 20,000 will be full in a few days, and there are many who are late, and they can only complain vigorously if they are not selected.

Zhou Fan smiled bitterly, the news of the White Tiger has been spreading in Nanzheng these days, and he also said that Zhou Fan was the birth of a White Tiger Star. But fortunately, it's only a white tiger, not a green dragon, otherwise Zhou Fan doubts that he will be rumored by the people of this Han that he has the spirit of a son of heaven, and then the fun will be great.

"The White Tiger must not be released like this, and it is easy for the people to see it, I will choose a time to let the White Tiger wander around Nanzheng, and only let a little people see it." Zhou Fan said.

This is a holy beast white tiger, if it is so easy to be seen, wouldn't it be too cheap, what is the difference between this and ordinary tigers in the zoo. When the time comes, it will disappoint the people.

For this kind of legendary thing, it is natural to make it as mysterious as possible, but it must be seen and heard by the people, so that the people can be more awe and convinced. Although this is inevitably a fool, I have to say that this is what Zhou Fan wants to see.

"As for the refugees and the soldiers. Refugees continue to take in, but the population of Hanzhong is still too small and far from reaching the point of saturation. As for the soldiers and horses. Then let's levy an additional 5,000 men. Zhou Fan said.

"No!" Cheng Yu responded: "But there are so many refugees here at once, and there is no way to resettle them all of a sudden, and seeing that winter is coming, if you are not prepared, these refugees are afraid that they will not be able to survive the winter." ”

There is no problem with this soldier and horse matter, with the thriving population of Hanzhong now, let alone another 5,000, even if there are 12,000 more, it will be no problem, anyway, Zhou Fan will not be able to afford it.

But the refugee is more troublesome, and now it's the end of July. Winter will begin in two months, and if we don't find a way to resettle these refugees, I'm afraid that many people will freeze to death.

Zhou Fan frowned slightly, and said: "We also take in these refugees in vain, it just so happens that the expansion of Nanzheng still needs a lot of manpower, we will provide food, let these refugees do their own work, by the way, tell them that the expanded Nanzheng is for them to live." In this way, you can work for cash, so that you can work more and get more. ”

Although this Nanzheng is the seat of Hanzhong, it is still too small, so Zhou Fan also plans to expand him at least double. There is a lot of manpower missing, and those refugees are naturally the best manpower, and now they can not only settle the refugees, but also expand Nanzheng, and they don't have to spend much money. It's a win-win-win-win

"No!" Suddenly, Cheng Yu's eyes lit up, is it a cash-for-work, this method is really good.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things, Gongda, Junyi, you come and take a look at this thick armor!" Zhou Fan beckoned to everyone present and said.

And the heavy armor in Zhou Fan's hand was exactly what the previous ghost cultivator was wearing, and after the ghost pawn was slaughtered, these heavy armors naturally became Zhou Fan's trophies.

There are a total of one hundred and three pieces, each of which is made of fine iron, weighing about fifty catties, with a thickness of more than half an inch, and the cost is definitely not expensive, and I don't know where Zhang Xiu got so much money to make these hundred pieces of iron armor, but now it is cheaper.

But it is precisely for this reason that it is no wonder that even Zhang Ren's strength can only leave a concave on it, but it cannot penetrate it.

This kind of thick armor, I am afraid that only a power-type military general like Dian Wei here can penetrate it, and a dexterous military general like Zhang Ren and Zhang He who uses a gun may not be able to do it. Of course, they will not be stupid to fight with this kind of heavy armor, so they naturally choose to attack places without heavy armor protection.

"What do you mean, my lord?" Xun You looked at Zhou Fan with some puzzlement.

"Have you found out where Zhang Xiu's more than 100 pieces of heavy armor were made?" Zhou Fan asked. In these years, the status of blacksmiths is very low, so the number is not much, and skilled blacksmiths are even more difficult to find.

"I heard it, it was made by a blacksmith in the Zhang Xiu Wudou Rice Sect!" Xun You said.

"Oh, there is such a capable person under that Zhang Xiu, go and bring that person to me." Zhou Fan said.

"No!" Xun Yu replied and immediately ordered.

"Lord, do you want to build heavy armor like that Zhang Xiu?" Xun Yu asked.

"Not bad!" Zhou Fan nodded and said: "You have also seen that the power of that ghost pawn, although it is said that it is a person who pretends to be a ghost, but if it weren't for the fact that there was no cooperation between these hundred ghost pawns, even if we wanted to win, I am afraid it would not be so easy." ”

Xun You nodded thoughtfully. The ghost pawn put aside the pretending to be a ghost, and it was a heavily armored soldier. Zhou Fan's 100 Yellow Turban wrestlers can easily defeat the ghost pawn, firstly because the ghost pawn is a dead soldier and has no fear, secondly, because he knows the weakness of the ghost pawn, and thirdly, he also relies on the power of the white tiger to scare the ghost pawn without any fighting will, which can be won in one fell swoop.

If this is the fairest situation, then a hundred heavily armored ghost soldiers will form a formation to meet the enemy, even a dead soldier like the Yellow Turban Lux may not be their opponent, and the power of the heavy armored infantry is definitely not a joke.

Zhou Fan nodded and said, "So I plan to cast this heavy armor in large quantities, form a heavy armored infantry, and similarly, a heavy armored cavalry!" (To be continued.) )xh118
