The heavy cavalry is characterized by the armor of the men and horses, the armor and cavalry equipment, the investment of the 8ooo heavy cavalry is very amazing, even if you wear a shrunken version of the Ming Guang armor without heart goggles and fix it with rivets to reduce the weight, it must weigh at least 3o pounds.

A set of horse armor is at least 2o city catties, too heavy will affect the body of the war horse and the impact degree, and then counting the miscellaneous weapons and arrows and other carry-on, a horse needs to carry 22o city catties of things to charge quickly, and the consumption of horsepower is amazing.

Therefore, each heavy cavalry needs to be equipped with three horses, a heavy horse in armor as the main horse, a group of war horses with weapons and supplies, and a group of mounts for daily riding, if possible, it is best to equip each heavy cavalry with a chariot and a few servants.

Mingguang armor is made of pig iron, and it can also be made of medium carbon steel.

The cost of pig iron is very low, only wrought iron is simply adjusted to the carbon content, at least not so that the carbon content can not be as high as 10%, slightly lower at least can not be smashed by a blunt instrument, can not play any protective role, and then pour the boiling molten iron into the mold to cast it, the advantage of pig iron is that the cost is low and the efficiency is high, and it is not difficult to cast 1oo sets of semi-finished blades required for armor a day.

At most, it is returned to the furnace for secondary heat treatment. Then soak the zinc solution to improve the anti-rust effect, and the white and bright color of the zinc is like a mirror, which has a special effect of whitening. It is just right to remove the unsightly color of pig iron gray and black.

The cost of 1o sets of medium carbon steel Mingguang armor per month is too high, and it takes a lot of time to forge alone, even if there is a hydraulic forging hammer to save labor, it is very troublesome, and the medium carbon steel Mingguang armor is not suitable for large-scale installation, and is only suitable for senior officers at the level of captain and lieutenant.

The impact of the popularization of coal, the improvement of forging efficiency brought about by the temporary alleviation of market demand, more iron tools made into curved ploughs. Agricultural tools such as sickles and hoes are used in farming, and are made into shovels, hammers, chisels, axes and other tools for mining. The efficiency of production has been improved, and there is no shortage of pig iron for the time being, but the shortage of pure steel, especially the demand for medium carbon steel and high carbon steel is extremely strong. It is only because of the high cost that it has never been able to meet the market.

Liu Che asked for 8ooo heavy cavalry with one mouth.

He has always spoken with sincerity. Cao Shike can't screw his stubborn temper, only to make a fuss about the cost of armor, a set of medium carbon steel Mingguang armor costs at least 1oo yuan, the reason why it is so expensive is because medium carbon steel is very rare, the cost price is at least 6o yuan, a set of pig iron Mingguang armor is worth no more than 50,000 yuan, the cost is about 30,000 yuan, an absolute gap of 1 to 2o. Needless to say, the whole army must be equipped with pig iron armor.

Otherwise, a set of medium carbon steel armor plus a waistcoat. The cost is an astonishing 2oo million yuan, and 8ooo sets are 1.6o billion yuan, which is definitely a crazy sky-high price, and with the current profitability of Shaofu, it can't make so much money in a year.

"You mean pig iron armor? No problems with the defense effect? ”

"After heat treatment to strengthen the surface hardness, there will be absolutely no quality defects, so please rest assured."

Liu Che was also intimidated by the number of 16o money, and it didn't cost much to make a new Chang'an plan, and the part-time investment of the 8ooo heavy cavalry was astronomical, fortunately, there was still room for turning around, Cao Shi euphemistically proposed that the pig iron armor was the mainstay, and the medium carbon steel armor was supplemented by the model to solve his face problem.

This year's year is not bad, Guanzhong's spring corn output has generally increased by more than 10 percent, and some counties have increased their output by more than 20 percent, basically catching up with the grain production increase rate of 23oo hectares in Pingyang Houfu, and the increase in grain production of 2 percent has allowed Pingyang Houfu to earn more than 100,000 stone grain rent, and the tenants under Houfu have obtained the other half of more than 100,000 stone grain.

Enlarged to the entire 75 counties of Guanzhong 800 miles Qinchuan, the total cultivated land area of 100 million mu (69.15 million mu of the city), the yield per mu from more than 3 stones to a little more than 4 stones, some fertile land from 4 stones to more than 5 stones, the increase in grain yield per mu is very amazing.

The annual grain income can not be counted until the end of the autumn harvest, only from the current situation, conservative estimates, the annual grain income increase is not less than 3ooo million stones, and the optimistic point may increase the income by 5ooo million stones, which means that from now on, Guanzhong no longer has to worry about the grain, not only 4oo million stone of grain can be avoided every year.

The surplus grain is taken to the Longxi Plateau to do business, where the Shengrong Qiang people in addition to countless cattle and sheep, and countless salinity, horses and eagles are rich in medicinal materials and fur, it is said that there are many Shengrong tribes in the depths of the plateau across the Daxue Mountain, which is the location of the roof of the world (Himalayas) known as the Great White Mountain, which is a pioneering area with great potential.

The emperor and Shaofu, and the relationship between the brother-in-law and the eldest brother-in-law, sat in the map room and chatted with an open mind.

For a while, he talked about the opening of the Western Regions, a moment about counterattacking the Xiongnu, and a while about the annexation of the Southern Zhuyue and Wei's Korea.

"The Empress Dowager has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! The princess of the pavilion Tao has arrived! ”

The Queen Mother walked in first, and her phoenix eyes widened: "Che'er! Look at what you're doing? Don't hurry up yet! ”

"Che'er, you are not too young, how can you sit on the ground like a child, and behave intimately with the ministers, it is too frivolous and detrimental to the emperor's prestige!" The Pavilion Chief Princess said bitterly.

Old crazy woman!

Liu Chezi stood up and saluted as if nothing happened: "I don't know that the emperor's grandmother and queen mother are coming, and the child is far away!" Oops, it turned out that your aunt was here too, Che'er didn't pay attention to it just now, why are you standing in the pile of palace maids? ”

The princess of the pavilion Tao trembled angrily, she was obviously standing next to her mother, this bastard boy actually said that he was inconspicuous when he stood in the pile of palace maids, implying that he was just an old palace maid with a yellow head and a gray head, and it was extremely rude to treat him so arrogantly and coldly, and before the accident in the Tangyi Marquis Mansion a few months ago, the young son of heaven would never dare to say such a thing.

"Cher's nonsense! I don't apologize to your imperial aunt yet! ”

"Yes! I just said that I went away, please forgive Aunt Huang. ”

Talking about it?

The co-author still told the truth, I should be an old palace maid!

The princess of the pavilion Tao was angry, she seemed to be very satisfied when she saw the queen mother Wang Wan smiling, and she was almost spurted out of anger by a mouthful of old blood, she regretted that she had mistakenly believed the nonsense of Wang Wan's mother and son, she should have asked Cheng Ji and Mrs. Jia's son to discuss an in-law, instead of looking at Emperor Han Jingdi's personal preference to do what he liked, and found a four-year-old boy from the Wang family to get engaged, and her daughter was already 14 years old at the age when she should get married.

The Empress Dowager was sick with a crutch, and her cloudy eyes looked ahead: "Che'er, the old body wants to ask you, do you care about the lawless courtiers?" Allowing Shaofu to produce cheap cloth and impact the market to lower the price of cloth, how many weavers can't even get by, gather outside the Pingyang garment factory to protest, and then let the people centrifuge like this, you, the emperor, do nothing will make your father and emperor feel uneasy in heaven. ”

Liu Che's face was gloomy.

This is his first year as an emperor, even according to the age of the first emperor, he can continue to be the emperor for 3o years, the first year of his reign to make impressive achievements, the little emperor's heart is very proud, he hates to be told that he is not qualified, and he hates to hear that the first emperor is not at ease in heaven, but a group of nasty ghosts around him often take this sentence to say to him, once it doesn't work, he says it twice or three times, and the bitter woman is heartbroken, so he almost holds his hand down and makes him stop being a puppet.

Liu Che was very angry, and Cao Shi was even more angry.

What is lawlessness, what is the centrifugation of the people, it is simply to smash his face before stopping.

"The Empress Dowager said seriously, the long-term decline in the price of cloth is expected by the minister, at the beginning of the price reduction, the minister had investigated and touched, Chang'an City inside and outside the textile retail households about 3ooo more households, hurt their interests in exchange for the entire Guanzhong 1oo million households to buy cheap cloth, the minister feels that the value of this deal, the people will not be centrifugal from Germany, do not believe you can ask the residents of Chang'an, is it sympathy to the weaver to increase the price of cloth, or to accept low-cost cloth on the wall? I believe that the vast majority of people will choose the latter. ”

The princess of the pavilion elder scolded angrily: "Good your Shaofu, to this day, you still dare to bewitch the public, talk nonsense, and talk nonsense!" Do you think we'll still believe in your tricks? ”

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, your clothes seem to have been bought from my family's garment workshop, judging by the style, it should be a fashion suit for this year's spring and summer, a set of clothes costs 50,000 yuan, are you qualified to say that I am talking nonsense in the clothes of my family's garment workshop?"

Cao Shi sneered, the nobles present except for the Empress Dowager are still wearing simple old-style clothes, including the daily clothes of the Son of Heaven Liu Che are from the Pingyang Garment Workshop, the clothes of the Son of Heaven are special models, spring, summer, autumn and winter 12o sets of basic colors are the same throughout the year, and the styles are different from the emperor's regular clothes, it is difficult to notice that the regular clothes of the Son of Heaven have always changed without looking carefully.

The queen mother also wears a special phoenix robe made by the Pingyang Garment Workshop, and the Han court etiquette stipulates that the queen mother, the queen, and the princess have a very different phoenix robe system and color, and the queen mother's clothes are always specially made from the workshop of the Shaofu, and now this business is occupied by the Pingyang Garment Workshop, thanks to the effective court promotion of the princess Liu Wan of Yangxin, there is a queen mother as a humanoid signboard to advertise, and the orders in the court have never been less.

The two noble ladies who were at the top of the world stagnated, and their momentum dropped sharply.

Suddenly, the eyes of the princess of the pavilion Tao changed: "Raw silk cloth has always been inferior to currency is hard currency, in the pre-Qin era, it was not uncommon to use grain, rice and cloth as currency, and the tradition of silk reeling and weaving skills lasted for thousands of years. You mercenary selfish! ”

It seems that there is a guide behind the master.

With her status, it is not uncommon for someone to secretly give advice, there is Yuan Chong in his Hou Mansion, but I don't know that there is no Zhang Chong and Chen Chong in other families.

Liu Che snorted: "Shaofu encountered this kind of thing, why didn't I know?" Where did Aunt Huang get the news? (To be continued!)
