Twenty miles outside Chang'an City, a military camp was set up in a radius of ten miles by Lu Bu, and Chang'an had 3,000 garrison battalions responsible for daily security and city patrols, and Lu Bu selected 500 elites from various armies were brought to this military camp, as the direct guards of the Hussar General's Mansion, although the number was not large, they were all carefully selected by Lu Bu, with Xiong Kuohai and Zhou Cang as deputy generals, He Yi and He Man as commanders, and received training from Lu Bu here. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, here, Lu Bu had people build a huge workshop, and all kinds of craftsmen gathered from all over the world were arranged in this workshop.

The scorching sun scorched the earth, five hundred strong men in armor stood on the school field, bearing the scorching sun, and in the workshop in front of them, the fire in the furnaces was booming, and the heat wave was pressing, even if there was still some distance from the school field, the five hundred soldiers on the school field could clearly feel it.

"Damn, can this lord stand it?" Xiong Kuohai wiped Han Sui, who was drenched on his face, and from time to time he turned his head to look in the direction of the workshop, and faintly could see many strong men with naked bodies waving iron hammers, and the clanging sound was accompanied by a compelling heat wave gushing out, even the warriors who were used to these sounds felt a little upset.

"It's all standing, it's just basic training now, don't be lazy, I don't know why the lord picked out your group of monkey cubs, but since the lord picked it, as the elite of the Hussar General's Mansion, you must become the most elite soldier in the world in the future, don't fucking embarrass me!" Zhou Cang carried a big knife, and his loud voice shook people's eardrums.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Jia Xu and Zhang Ji led a team of men and horses to come over after diplomatic horses in the camp.

"Strategist? How did you get here? Xiong Kuohai turned his head and looked at Jia Xu and said unexpectedly.

"Something to find the lord, what about the lord?" Jia Xu glanced at the five hundred soldiers who were neatly dressed under the scorching sun, and nodded slightly, although they were just standing there, the momentum had already come out, and the five hundred people stood together, giving people a feeling of being unshakable in the face of the mountains.

"Inside." Pointing in the direction of the workshop, Xiong Kuohai glanced at Zhang Ji and said, "Don't go in, the temperature there can't even stand us." ”

Speaking, without waiting for Jia Xu to answer, he had already run in the direction of the workshop, Lu Bu once said that the things that came out of this workshop were all secrets, and the fewer people knew, the better, although I didn't know what secrets there were, but Zhang Ji was not a person in the inner circle of Lu Bu's leadership after all, and if he couldn't go in, he wouldn't go in.

After a while, Lu Bu, who was open-chested and bare-chested, came out of the workshop, his steel-like muscles had an indescribable sense of fluidity, and after being soaked in sweat, they shimmered with a bronze luster.

"Wenhe, De Jong? How did you guys get here? Something happened to Chang'an? Lu Bu led everyone to a shady place, and someone had already set up three chairs and invited the three of them to sit.

"Lord, a few days ago, the Qiang people had a conflict with the merchant brigade, and a few people were killed, and now there is a lot of trouble." Zhang Ji said in a deep voice: "The lord intends to naturalize the Qiang people, but the Qiang people are fierce and extremely difficult to discipline. ”

"Difficult to discipline?" Lu Bu snorted coldly: "Tell the matter as it is." ”

The process of the matter is not complicated, after Baishui Qiang, burning Qiang, and breaking Qiang were naturalized one after another, in order to avoid conflicts due to traditional customs, Lü Bu let the Qiang people build their own cities, and the general's mansion sent people to help with layout planning, and the governance was governed by the Qiang people, and at the same time, in order to promote exchanges between the Qiang and Han, Lü Bu also divided a county in each county, which was jointly managed by the Qiang and Han people, as a market, so that the traders and the Qiang people could communicate with each other.

However, in many cases, in order to increase profits, many traders will lower the price of some furs, rare resources and other things brought by the Qiang people, and then ship them to other places to sell at high prices.

This time, it was the traders who pressed the price too hard, and there was some discrimination in the words, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Qiang people.

"This kind of thing, you want to ask me too?" Lu Bu frowned, looking at Zhang Ji with some dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Jia Xu explained: "This matter was originally not difficult to judge, killing people to pay for life, the cause of the incident was the traders, and the traders also had some responsibility, but now the lord is vigorously naturalizing the Qiang people, if it is done according to the law, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the Qiang people." ”

"Since there is a law to follow, it must be handled according to the law, I want to naturalize the Qiang people, but I never thought of letting the Qiang people run and ride on the necks of the Han people." Lu Bu snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Since it is under my rule, the Qiang people and Han people are the same, and then ordered the Department of Justice to set the price according to the market price, so that the buyer and seller have a yardstick to measure, and those merchants should not jump out of the circle too much, although the Qiang people are at fault in this matter, but the cause is in these merchants, and the Qiang people must be compensated." ”

"Department of Justice?" Zhang looked at Lu Bu puzzled.

"The Department of Justice is a new department created by the Lord and is responsible for the improvement and maintenance of the law, and it has not yet been properly named, which just takes advantage of this matter to put the Department of Justice in the forefront." Jia Xu smiled.

"I wonder who's in charge?" Zhang Ji asked.

"In the future, the affairs of the prison will be handed over to the Department of Justice, and they will be handed over to the state, county and even county seats, independent of institutions other than the Assassin's Office." Lu Bu said with a smile.

When Zhang Ji heard this, he was shocked in his heart, Lu Bu not only wanted to use the Legalists, but also further divided the rights of the governors and counties of various states and counties.

"Let's do this as such, De Jong, you go back first, I still have something to talk about with the military advisor." Lu Bu waved his hand and said to Zhang Ji.

"The subordinates retired." Zhang Ji bowed slightly when he heard this, got up and left.

After Zhang Ji left, Jia Xu leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, touched the armrest and smiled at Lu Bu: "These things made by the craftsman camp are a lot more convenient. ”

"There will be more to come." Lu Bu added a cup of tea to Jia Xu, glanced at the direction Zhang Ji left, and said, "Zhang Derong has been a little undedicated recently, but why?" ”

"It's not his fault, the lord is now committed to integrating the Qiang people into my Han nationality, and many of these problems are really a headache, and if one is not solved well, it may have an impact on the lord's plan, but it is also good to take this opportunity to officially launch the Department of Justice." Jia Xu took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

The integration of Qiang and Han has not been done before, but basically, it all ended in failure, and there is no successful experience to learn from, so he can only grope forward, which is also a reason why Zhang can't let go of his hands and feet.

Lu Bu nodded slightly, this is a slow job, summing up experience in continuous exploration, if Chang'an can succeed, he can put Zhang Ji in Xiliang to be the assassin of the state, and promote these plans to double the population of Xiliang.

"Don't talk about this, Wen He will come over and show you a few good things." Lu Bu stood up with a smile and beckoned Zhou Cang to bring a war horse over: "Wen He, see how this horse is different from the previous war horses?" ”

"Different?" Jia Xu looked at the horse, it was just a very common war horse in Xiliang, if he wanted to say something different, Jia Xu walked around the war horse, looked at the saddle on the horse's back and said, "I don't know what this thing is for?" "It's that he is rich and rich, and he has a strategy in his chest, and this new thing is just to see with his eyes, but he can't see the reason.

"The military advisor might as well sit on it and try it." Zhou Cang said with a smile.

Jia Xu nodded when he heard this, don't look at him as just a literati, but when he rides a horse, he is no worse than a person, skillfully pulling the reins of the horse and stepping on the stirrup, and then sits on the horseback.

It seems to be a lot more stable!

Jia Xu looked at the saddle he sat down, his right foot moved, but he found that there was also a stirrup on the other side, although the war horses of the Han Dynasty also had stirrups, but they were unilateral stirrups, the function was to make it easier for people to get on the horse, and now there was also one on the other side, Jia Xu stepped on it, and immediately understood the role of these things.

He looked at Lu Bu with some surprise and praised: "The lord's whimsical idea is enough to increase the combat effectiveness of our army's cavalry!" ”

If there is no saddle and stirrups, the knight rides on the horse, and most of the strength must be used to clamp the horse's belly so that it does not slip off, and when fighting, it is all up to the war horse to collide, and the knight can exert very limited combat effectiveness, unless it is Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, these top generals, the strength is enough, even if he sits on the horse, he has enough spare strength to fight with others, and the general knight is easy to fall off the horse if he encounters a heavy blow on the horse.

Lu Bu smiled silently, in fact, it was not as simple as counting chips, to put it bluntly, it was the appearance of horseshoes, saddles and stirrups that made the cavalry the real main force on the battlefield, not just a surprise attack to disturb the enemy, so that the cavalry's fighting style has a new change.

"Sir, it's not all!" Zhou Cang helped Jia Xu down, tied the war horse to the pillar on the side, walked to the back of the war horse, and lifted a horse leg: "Sir, look at this." ”

"This is ......," Jia Xu looked at the U-shaped iron nailed to the horse's palm suspiciously.

"With this, you don't have to worry about the horse stumbling." Zhou Canghe said with a smile: "The lord calls this a horseshoe." ”

"That's appropriate." Jia Xu smiled and nodded, turned his head to look at the direction of the workshop, and sighed: "Everyone in the world regards craftsmen as cheap industries, but they don't want to be in the hands of the lord, but they have the means to turn waste into treasure." ”

"What's the difference between high and low? If there are no blacksmiths and carpenters in the hands of any family, if there are no these craftsmen, you and I are probably still living in the era of slash-and-burn farming. Lu Bu shook his head and smiled.

Jia Xu nodded, the topic was too big, he didn't continue to discuss with Lu Bu, but instead looked at Lu Bu and said, "The lord has come up with these things, but he is going to use troops against Hetao?" ”

Lu Bu nodded: "Hetao is now with the decline of the Xiongnu, gradually falling into war, after the spring ploughing in the next year, I am ready to send troops to Hetao, fertile land for thousands of miles, how can it be cheap for foreign races?" ”

Jia Xu nodded when he heard this, after spring ploughing, the situation in Yongliang will gradually stabilize, coupled with Lu Bu's previous reputation in the Hetao, it is not difficult to take the Hetao, the only thing to worry about is how many soldiers Lu Bu will bring to the Hetao, if there are too many, I am afraid that he will not be able to support it at that time.
