In less than two hours, more than 40,000 of the 100,000 prisoners of war were killed. The highway was littered with corpses. Death has a strange shape. These are the masterpieces of artillery, and the variety of shells makes the death results even strange.

The casualties of the Qin army were about 1,000 people, mainly concentrated in the 5,000 people who were responsible for guarding the prisoners of war, while Tu Sui's musket regiment killed two people. One person was seriously wounded, and countless were lightly wounded, mainly among the recalcitrant prisoners of war, who fought up at the last breath. resulting in a kind of casualty. And in the entire musket regiment, most of the soldiers ran out of 120 bullets on their bodies.

Shang Wen was originally opposed to this kind of ammunition at first. Because, according to the situation in Europe at that time, sixty rounds of ammunition were already equipped as standard. What's the matter, the soldiers of the Qin army have always eaten more and occupied more, and Tu Sui meant the same. As a result, every soldier of the Qin army was equipped with two or three bullet belts without exception, a full one hundred and twenty bullets.

And the cavalry units that intercepted and killed everywhere also returned with full loads, and the horses were full of heads. The two commanders began to sit down to discuss the handling of prisoners of war. There were not many prisoners left. Excluding the dead, the seriously wounded, those who have been shot and incapacitated, and those who are able to move are already very few. The number is 30,000. The number is still huge.

The two armies were already out of control, especially Tu Sui's musket regiment. Ammunition is scarce. Before dark, each Qin soldier had only thirty rounds of ammunition, which was the last bit of ammunition for the Qin army. The situation is very tricky. In desperation, the two chose the easiest way. That is, to dispose of these prisoners of war in batches. Pit killing.

Tragedy happened that night. 100,000 people disappeared into thin air. The Qin army saw this as a punishment for them. The bloody night didn't end until dawn.

When the tragedy occurred, the Qin State was vigorously launching a huge war material procurement plan.

The funds raised from the sale of treasury bonds far exceeded Shang Wen's imagination. The funds raised amounted to more than 730,000 gold. To this end, Shangwen also specially adjusted the face value of the printed bonds. Five-color printed gold units of large-denomination bonds appeared. The bonds were sold to wealthy businessmen from six countries. At the same time, the production of small-denomination bonds printed in two colors began. Shang Wen didn't even know why there was a small denomination.

Shang Wen immediately began to investigate, only to learn that these large denominations were mainly purchased by merchants from the Six Kingdoms. Their purpose is also very clear, which is land. The main directions of Qin's expansion were to the north and west. They think that exotic lands are an opportunity to make a fortune, so they buy them in large quantities.

And the appearance of small denominations. But it is a sign of great progress. The Qin people bought bonds, and many of them did so out of patriots. Land is also their actual need. However, the long-term distance made it impossible to move from home, and the Qin State began to set up factories on a large scale to recruit workers, so they naturally entered the factory.

And the exchange has been unable to be carried out, first of all, the opening of the factories of the Qin State, especially the arsenal, requires a large amount of bronze, iron and other metals. After these coins were recovered, they began to turn into guns. At the same time, adding the number of years, the number of years set by Shangwen is two years. Two years have not arrived. The exchange is also unreasonable. As a result, this kind of bond becomes money and circulates. People's credibility to the Qin State is still very high.

But soon a problem came out. That is the face value of the bond, and the face value of the issuance is very large, and the minimum is one and a half taels. One and a half taels is a big number. Therefore, people also need a smaller monetary unit to meet the demand for circulation.

Shang Wen was released in response to this situation. Divide this minimum unit of bonds, which is mainly to satisfy the purchase of the population. And these bonds have in a sense begun to replace the original currency. It became paper money and circulated in the economy.

Shang Wen really didn't expect it. This move can be turned into paper money circulation so quickly. Shangwen also thought about issuing paper money to recover a large number of bonds after the end of the war. But now it seems. Bonds have already fulfilled the function of paper money ahead of schedule. It has to be said that this is a new innovation. It is a manifestation of the progress of the times.

Thanks to the bonds, a large number of factories have been started. People have begun to have a strong desire to buy. However, the abundance of goods is still relatively low. Never mind. There is also a war to stimulate.

Shangwen's priority now is to draw up a huge procurement plan. This plan includes: A million muskets. A thousand guns. It is possible that the number of artillery pieces will increase. Because, judging by the current use of the situation. In particular, in the study of the students, Wang Ben taught the doctrine of artillery, especially emphasizing the importance of artillery, based on this. Shang Wen added five hundred floating guns to the back in case of unpreparedness.

At the same time, there are also a large number of quilts, especially winter clothes. This requires the purchase of a large number of goose feathers, duck feathers, and other winter clothing fillings. And then there's leather. Shang Wen really didn't expect it. In ancient times, down jackets have appeared. Shangwen also wants to invent. However, it is clear that this is redundant.

Then there is a lot of food, medicine. Already horse vehicles. These figures have to be drawn up. Then, tender production is carried out. If you want to equip it, it is estimated that it will take a month. At the same time, it is necessary to train new recruits. Shang Wen didn't know how to fight this battle this month.

Li Si's factory construction speed is the slowest one. Others are rebuilt from their original houses. But Li Si slowly and leisurely, looking for someone to look at the land and choose a house. Personnel selection is extremely slow.

Li You, the eldest son of Li Si. Seeing my father behave like this. Very anxious. In the past few days, Li You has been patrolling the market every day. Get a different message. He inquired. Wang Qian's factory has begun to take shape, and yesterday it was able to produce muskets. Even Zhao Gao, who was next to the king, was allowed to set up a textile factory. This textile mill is powered entirely by animal power and can produce blended fabrics on a large scale. All of this is provided by the right minister of Great Qin.

And this father of his own. But because of political disagreements, he refused to communicate.

Li You is in a hurry. thinks that my father is a little pedantic in this move. Some stubborn, no matter how much they persuade them, just do not agree to speed up the construction of the plant.

Li You was helpless. I had to hide from my father and go it alone. However, technical issues require special consultation with Shangwen. So Li asked for advice from above. Helplessly, Shang Wen was too busy. I haven't been busy with orders these days. However, Shang Wen made a special explanation. Technical issues, all at a very low cost of technology patents are transferred. Meng Yi also handled it quickly.

Thus, the Li Arsenal was officially established.
