Chapter 616: Heading to Luoyang
Yang Xi listened to Yuluan and others discussing the situation, and compared his Chenhe Kingdom with Wang Mang's new dynasty, and was a little speechless.
It's not a level at all.
Wang Mang's reform, failure is inevitable, although it has some policies to benefit the people, but there is no efficient and capable team to operate with all their hearts, and there are historical limitations, how can it succeed.
Yang Xi was curious, that Wang Mang's origin!
It is said that Wang Mang announced in the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China: the Tianxia Tian will be changed to Wang Tian, and the private land will be replaced by Wang Tian; Slaves and maids were renamed private belongings, and like Wang Tian, they were not allowed to buy or sell. Subsequently, salt, iron, wine, currency, mountains, forests, and rivers were nationalized, cultivated land was redistributed, and the slavery system was abolished, and the five-equal credit (loan system) and the six-pronged policy were established to balance prices with state power, prevent exploitation by merchants, and increase the revenue of the state treasury.
At the same time, rest with the people.
Since then, the country has been peaceful.
But the good times didn't last long.
After all, there was a good time, Yang Xi has historical materials, which can be consulted at any time, and he knows that Wang Mang's policy details are full of postmodern shadows!
In the second year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wang Mang gathered all the world's virtuous people to come to Chang'an and began to compile important classics such as "Chinese Dictionary", "Medical Dictionary", "Wedding and Funeral Dictionary", and "Literary Dictionary". In the spring of the first year of the earth, it was completed in March.
In the three years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, small countries such as the Xiongnu, Goguryeo, Laowo, and Puya have successively submitted to the new dynasty.
Thinking of this, Yang Xi resolutely decided to go to the Luoyang arsenal, steal Wang Mang's head, scan it, and see where the goods came from.
At that moment, Yang Xi arranged for Fan Zeng and Xiang Zhuang to join the special operations group.
It was after these two people arranged that Chenhe Fort welcomed new guests.
The white has arrived.
The second time to Chenhe Fort, Bai Du was relatively low-key, and he didn't dare to break in on his own, but handed over a prayer post.
Yang Xi asked Su Qinling to lead Bai Du into the office.
"Bai has seen his predecessors! I didn't know the identity of my predecessors before, and I was offended, so I asked my seniors to forgive me! ”
This time, Bai Du's posture was very low, and he was abused by Yang Xi once, and when he returned to the original fighting office, his face was a little feverish.
Yang Xi invited Bai Du to sit down, and said very enthusiastically: "It's okay, it's okay, now that the previous suspicion has been released, we won't mention the past in the future, and besides, I will make up for it sooner or later." By the way, in fact, I have heard Shang Jun say it a long time ago, to be honest, I am very grateful to be able to get the Killing God Heavenly Immortal to join the gang, and I also ask General Bai to convey his gratitude, and on his day, I will personally thank the Killing God. ”
Bai Du was overjoyed when he saw that Yang Xi was polite to him, and said that he wanted to make up for the loss of his doppelganger.
At this time, the loss has actually been made up by the general, if Yang Xi comes again, wouldn't there be hope for advanced immortals?
Thinking of this, Bai Du couldn't help but stand up and salute again: "The seniors are too polite, they were not right before, this time they will spare no effort to run errands for the seniors." ”
Yang Xi, with this temptation, I am afraid that you will be naughty, and the people who go down to the earth will engage in wind and rain in the upper realm, which is nothing more than this.
So he arranged the white capital to Cao Cao for arrangement.
"Mengde! Now our strength is too far from the strength of the various immortals in the world, and if you want to take the initiative, you still have a little bit of heat. At present, you can only see the moves, you can arrange some manpower to guard the base of Wudang Mountain, it is best to have two or three earth immortals in charge, and then ask General Bai Du to be the main one, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong. As for the others, they are in Chenhe City, which is the most important place, and no chaos can be allowed. If I want to travel far away, no matter how fast it is, it will take a few days, and I will leave this place to you. ”
"You're going to travel far?"
Su Qinling and the others didn't expect Yang Xi to travel far away at this time.
In this place, without him in charge, I am really afraid that something will go wrong.
"Yes, I have a doubt to confirm, and I am going to go to Luoyang. What's the matter, I'll talk about it when I come back, all of you are not allowed to leave Chenhe City for the time being. ”
"Good!"
Su Qinling glanced at Yuluan, with her there, there should be no problem in the late stage of the Earth Immortal.
Subsequently, Cao Cao arranged for Bai Du, Fan Zeng and Xiang Zhuang to go to Wudang Mountain, while himself and the others all sat in Chenhe Fort.
Yang Xi stepped out of Chenhe Fort, walked alone, and looked north.
This time, he did not take a special plane or a train, but walked alone, just to keep it secret.
The body of the power of the three elephants, the dark matter control of the earth immortals, it is not too simple to step on the mountains and wade through the water. It's just that after all, the body is a substance and needs energy support, and Yang Xi also carried a package with him, which turned out to be the head of an eight-headed bird.
It's a bit weird, but it doesn't affect progress.
Yang Xi traveled at a constant speed of 60 kilometers per hour, without using all his strength, which also took a look at the rivers and mountains of the big country by the way.
After walking for a long time, to Tianmen Mountain, Yang Xixiao rested for a while, remembering that he went to Luoyang Arsenal this time, although there was no pressure, he also wanted to understand the situation. So the data is called up from the system.
Yang Xi found a classic book called "The Book of Weapons and Vehicles in the Four Years of the Arsenal Yongshi".
This is a book unearthed in a Han tomb in later generations, which records the statistical report of the weapons and equipment hidden in the arsenal of Donghai County in the fourth year of Emperor Yongshi of the Han Dynasty (13 BC).
The report included almost all the weapons and equipment of the eastern and southern coastal armies of the Han Empire at that time, except for the naval vessels, bows, crossbows, arrows, swords, spears, halberds, armor and shields, golden drum banners, military vehicles and ballistas.
Ranged weapons: 537,707 crossbows. 11,458,424 crossbow bolts. Seventy-seven thousand five hundred and twenty-one bows. One hundred and ninety-nine thousand three hundred and sixteen bows and arrows.
Fighting Soldiers: Fifty thousand one hundred and seventy-eight spears.
Halberd Soldiers: 78,392 pieces.
Beryllium 451,222. 24,170 branches.
Skirmish: Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and five swords. Fifty-six thousand one hundred thirty-five knives.
Protective equipment: 142,701 sets of leather armor. Sixty-three thousand three hundred and twenty-four sets of iron armor. Ninety-eight thousand two hundred and sixty-two helmets. One hundred thousand two hundred fifty-five shields.
Yang Xi gasped.
The Donghai County Arsenal was a national arsenal of the Han Empire located on the southeast coast and under the jurisdiction of the central government, and undertook the task of preparing weapons for war in the southeast direction of the empire.
Only a central armoury directly under the central government, which is responsible for the southeastern strategic direction, can arm 500,000 people, including more than 60,000 iron-armored heavy fighters and 140,000 medium-sized leather-armored soldiers, and can ensure that more than 500,000 soldiers have two sets of weapons: long-range and hand-to-hand combat.
It is no wonder that the Han Empire was the most powerful and wealthy country in the world at that time, and the size of the equipment is that I can't believe that this is an ancient country.
And that's just the South-Eastern arsenal.
What about the more elite Central Praetorian Guard arsenal? Yang Xi didn't dare to think that the specific information could not be found, only a description of the size of the Chang'an arsenal site discovered in later generations. Luoyang Arsenal Yang Xi only found one word, big!
The rectangular wall built with rammed earth around the Chang'an arsenal, the wall is more than 700 meters long from east to west, more than 300 meters wide from north to south, the total area reaches more than 200,000 square meters, it is really a large-scale reservoir city.
To what extent is the equipment in such a huge arsenal rich?
But such a huge empire is gone!
"A country, a strong force, just an insurance, the safe is rotten with maggots, it's still useless!"
Yang Xi sighed, took the small iron pot he carried with him and cooked it, feeling that his physical fitness had increased by more than 20 points, and he was very satisfied.
This bird's head is a rare thing.
"I don't know what the effect of the nine-headed bird brain marrow of the ghost car is."
As he walked forward, Yang Xi thought whimsically.
