King Qin didn't mention any snubbing at all, and he asked Bai Qi if he knew that there were other reasons for this.

Without waiting for the King of Qin to speak, Bai Hui hurriedly explained: "The minister asks the king to parade the army with the minister tomorrow, the Qin army in Hedong has high morale and is well-trained, and it should seize Hedong for the king." ”

King Qin almost laughed, but he still said very seriously: "The widow has no intention of blaming Bai Qi, not at all, training and armament are top priorities, and there is nothing inappropriate about each side being responsible, don't take what you said to heart just now." ”

"Yes!" Bai Huixin said, King Qin would be so serious, and he would be unhappy there.

As a courtier, the king's mind cannot be guessed, but he must also deal with it carefully.

King Qin asked Bai Hui: "The widow doesn't go to look through those bamboo slips, there are several items on it that the widow is puzzled about." Let's talk about pants first, the bamboo slips say that there is a lack of 140,000 pieces of military pants and 30,000 pieces of military winter pants. Let's talk about it one by one, and tell the widow about these pants. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Bai Hui first went to the small warehouse next to his study to get two samples.

"Your Majesty, this is the pants, the minister has calculated, if the whole army switches to pants, you can save about 30% of the linen, you don't need waist skirts and other clothes to wear pants, and the pants are divided into four types, namely summer shorts, spring and autumn pants, spring and autumn thickened pants and winter wool grass pants. There are only spring and summer pants here. ”

Quirky, very quirky costumes.

King Qin was not very interested in these details, and at the moment he was concerned about the direction of materials.

Bai Hui continued: "According to each sergeant, two summer pants, four autumn pants, and one winter pants are being prepared. This winter's pants are multi-layered, and if the supplies are sufficient, they are filled with duck and goose feathers. If supplies are insufficient, use soft hay or, preferably, sheepskin trousers. ”

"Then there are the military uniforms, which are divided into garments, robes, armor, and ......."

"Next, there are the shoes. It is divided into straw sandals, hemp shoes, linen shoes, leather shoes, ......"

"And then there's A, and A's is divided into ......

King Qin sat there and kept rubbing his forehead, he saw these things completely on the bamboo slips, Bai Hui's armor for the sergeant was divided into iron armor, copper armor, hard pottery armor, bamboo armor, leather armor, etc., there are many types.

According to the current armor inventory in Bai Hui's hand, the Qin army in Bai Hui's hand has long exceeded the ratio of one person and one pair of armor.

But Bai Hui said that the heavy armor used in frontal combat, the light armor used for rapid assault, the ultra-light armor used in mountain and forest operations, the bamboo armor used in surface combat, etc., the same team of soldiers are equipped with different armor because of different combat missions.

King Qin said, very speechless.

King Qin originally said that he wouldn't look at the bamboo slips, but he still took out a bamboo slip and opened it: "Bai Hui, your bamboo slips said that there are still 500,000 arrows needed for the battle of Hedong." ”

Bai Hui immediately replied: "Yes, Wang Shang is wise. ”

King Qin really wants to say, fart wise, you already have more than one million arrows in stock, and they are divided into rockets, mountain and forest light arrows, heavy arrows, cavalry rapid fire arrows and other types.

When will the soldiers of Great Qin not divide the arrows so thinly, it is nothing more than two kinds of arrows for crossbows and arrows for bows.

King Qin said that he didn't want to say anything, so he asked casually: "How is the grain prepared?" After asking, King Qin put the bamboo slip in his hand back on the table.

Bai Hui's face was serious, and his brows were furrowed: "Your Majesty, the minister still needs at least 500,000 stone grain, and he wants to collect and replenish part of the gap after the autumn harvest, because the war is in advance, then the merchants of Chu State promised 300,000 stone rice are likely to be affected, and the minister is already thinking of ways to make up for it, so that the merchants of Chu State can send grain to the surrounding areas of Luoyi, and the minister will send an elite to receive this batch of grain." ”

At the mention of this response, a smile appeared on Bai Hui's face: "Your Majesty, if this plan is feasible, then it can reduce a lot of pressure on logistics, and it will be of great help to supplement the needs of the front-line battlefield." But there are also troubles. ”

King Qin almost couldn't help it, and said in his heart that last year, the widow was ready to fight a vicious war, and the food prepared in Xianyang was not more than half of what you have in your hands now.

King Qin asked, "What's the trouble?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is too wasteful to cook rice directly during the war, and the ministers will fry the rice with salt, so that it is easy to preserve and carry, especially when the army is in a hurry, grab a handful and put it in your mouth to eat. The minister also researched a kind of military rations for the rapid march of sharp soldiers, and the minister showed it to the king. ”

Soon, Bai Hui came over with a small basin with five rice cakes on it.

Bai Hui originally wanted to make rice flowers, but unfortunately the craftsmen of the Qin State couldn't make the popcorn stove, so he switched to stir-frying, grinding it after frying, and then mixing a small amount of caramel into a whole piece.

King Qin picked up a piece and tasted it, and said in his heart that it was better than the dim sum in Xianyang Palace.

This thing is military rations!

King Qin didn't want to say anything about Bai Hui's armament affairs for the time being, so he only said: "You must accompany the widow to attend this corner game between Qin and Wei. Regarding the affairs of the Korean people, we have to pay attention to it every day, and I have sent someone to inform Bai Qi, presumably he will rush back immediately after he knows it, and this battle needs to be discussed again. ”

"No!" Bai Hui let out a long sigh of relief.

King Qin glanced at a bamboo slip that he had thrown on the ground just now, the bamboo slip would be opened, and the content on it was the part of the heavy armor knife, and King Qin didn't want to ask anymore.

King Qin has only one idea at the moment, that is, to send troops to fight today, transfer 50,000 soldiers from Xianyang, these 50,000 soldiers do not need equipment, food and grass, not even clothes, and when they arrive in Hedong, the materials stored in Baihui's warehouse are completely enough to arm these people, and it will not affect the equipment and grain and grass of Baihui's original soldiers in the slightest.

If this Bai Hui is not crazy, there must be something to hide.

For example, the last time, it was said that it was to fight Beiqucheng, and as a result, the two brothers attacked nine cities in a row, so King Qin was waiting for Bai Qi to come back, and if he wanted to ask, he asked the two brothers at the same time.

When Bai Hui asked King Qin to go to Bancheng, King Qin secretly instructed his attendants: "Go back to Xianyang immediately and let the Marquis come over." General Sima Cuo's trip to Hanguguan remained unchanged. ”

The attendants were ordered to depart.

On the way to Bancheng, King Qin asked Bai Hui to share the car with him, and Bai Hui was silent on the way and always looked down and thought.

King Qin didn't want to ask anything anymore, but he couldn't help but ask, "Bai Hui, the widow asked you what you were thinking at this time?" ”

"Don't dare to hide it from the king, the minister is thinking that the Han people have suddenly changed, so whether the blacksmith they promised can be in place on time, if it is in place on time, will it affect the time of sending troops, and the minister still has small things that need to be built by the blacksmiths, if the time comes up soon, it is a pity."

King Qin asked, "What is it to build?" ”

Bai Hui thought for a while and said, "A small object, that is, putting shoes on the war horse, is used to protect the horse's hooves. It is said that it is a shoe, but it is not actually a shoe, after all, what horses wear is still different from what people wear. ”
