Chapter 195: Strange Things
Julu County, Jizhou.
Zhang Jiao was sitting and looking at a map of the Eastern Han Dynasty on the table, which clearly marked the names of the states and counties of the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and also planted small yellow flags in some places, a total of thirty-six small flags, for the thirty-six sides set up by Zhang Jiao in the thirteen states.
Zhang Jiao was born in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when social turmoil, political darkness, landlords and strong annexation of the peasants' fields, the rich have no land, the poor have no land, the peasants lose the means of production, life is poor, hungry, the slightest natural disaster will be ruined. If the rule of 28 is that 20% of people occupy 80% of the wealth, then in this period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it may even reach the point where 1% of the people occupy 90% of the wealth, and the gap between the rich and the poor is extremely wide.
In addition, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes collected by the government, officials are corrupt, and some decentralized finances are intercepted by some officials and generals in the middle, and there is only a little bit of money that can reach the people, which is a drop in the bucket. The war against Qiang for more than 10 years cost 24 billion yuan in military expenditures, and the number of casualties was innumerable.
Since Zhang Jiao received the "Taiping Technique" from Yu Ji and comprehended it, he has widely rescued the people who are threatened by the disease among the people, and has been regarded as a living immortal by the people, and at the same time sent eight disciples to release and spread the teachings of the Taiping Dao, following hundreds of thousands of believers, all over the major states and counties of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and even some believers did not hesitate to sell their property to rush over and defect to Zhang Jiao.
In the eyes of some powerful people, officials, and eunuchs, the leaders of the Qianqian Dynasty did not oppose them anymore, but chose to believe in religion, and if they could use religion to calm down the people's grievances and anger, it would be a good errand. Some of them have also become one of the believers of Taiping Dao, often funding Zhang Jiao and his Taiping Dao, it is estimated that he usually does not do bad things, it just so happens that Taiping Dao thinks that there are ghosts and gods in the heavens watching everything in the world, so he hopes to give money to be redeemed, and he can ascend to immortal after death.
But Zhang Jiao is only very respectful to them on the surface, but on the ground he is ready to do a shocking event, the so-called winner of the people's hearts wins the world, Zhang Jiao has now won the hearts of the people, not only wants to win the world, but also wants to change the world of this person who eats people, from the moment he took over "Taiping Yaoshu".
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious." Zhang Jiao kept reciting a sentence silently.
At this time, a person outside the house walked in with very light steps, Zhang Jiao turned to look at his brother Zhang Bao, in fact, from the time when Zhang Bao was far away, Zhang Jiao had a premonition that someone would come over later, this was the premonition of an emperor-level peak warlock who was a first-class historical warlock.
"Big brother, I just got the news that the third brother has returned from the city with weapons, and this time he has brought a full five thousand weapons, and our Yellow Turban Lux weapons have been dropped." Zhang Bao said excitedly.
"So good, so good." Zhang Jiao was pleased.
Yellow Turban Lux has always been Zhang Jiao's heart, similar to the Bingzhou Wolf Ride, Yellow Turban Lux as a special army, in fact, according to the strength is also divided into two parts: ordinary special troops and advanced special troops, but no matter which one, in the same level of special troops, Yellow Turban Lux is the top-level existence, which is also regarded as the compensation of the Yellow Turban military during the plot of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
For the Yellow Turban Lux of ordinary special troops, generally every Qu Shuai or Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang have it, so the degree of attention is not as good as that of the Yellow Turban Lux as a high-level special army, although the number is only a small number of 20,000 people, but they will be the trump card force against the imperial army in the future, Zhang Jiao did not spend less effort on them, just this batch of fine iron weapons, it cost a lot of Taiping Dao's savings.
"Big brother, second brother, I'm back." Zhang Liang said with a light on his face.
"Third brother, you're back, then let's start." Zhang Jiao nodded.
Immediately, under Zhang Jiao's orders, his subordinates moved out all the fine iron weapons they had purchased several times before, and a full 20,000 pieces of various fine iron weapons were placed in the open space, and the weapons produced by Flying Sky City were generally swords, knives, spears or spears, and there were few other types of weapons, which might not be a big problem for ordinary troops, but the Yellow Turban Luxes were infinitely powerful, fearless of death, and would rather give up their own defense to gain more offensive capabilities, so in the choice of weapons, it was also necessary to choose the most violent outfit.
Seeing that the weapons were all placed together, Zhang Bao stood in front of the crowd, holding a charm between the two fingers of his right hand, and quickly reciting the spell silently in his mouth. A moment later, the spell in Zhang Bao's hand spontaneously combusted, turning into ashes in the sky, just shrouding the square where the weapons were placed, these weapons seemed to be sensitized, glowed with white light, and then turned into a mace with a handle under the stunned eyes of everyone!
This is a unique skill of Zhang Bao, which can improve the attributes of the weapon and change the shape of the weapon, but the cooldown time and side effects are relatively large, after using this skill, Zhang Bao looks red at the last moment, and his face is like ashes the next moment, and the strength has changed from a king-level general to a super-level general, and the side effects last for a month, that is to say, Zhang Bao only has the strength of a super-level general in this month.
Seeing that Zhang Bao was so weak that he fell down as soon as the wind blew, Zhang Jiao waved his nine-section staff to dispel the side effects of some skills for Zhang Bao, and released a few buff skills, Zhang Bao's face looked a little better.
"Second brother has worked hard, go down and rest."
Zhang Jiao asked Zhang Bao to help Zhang Bao to rest in the room, and he and Zhang Liang had to stay to see how much this mace improved the Yellow Turban Lux, and said, "Third brother, you bring some Luxes over and try the effect of this weapon." ”
"Yes, big brother."
Zhang Liang picked up a mace from the ground, and could feel that the mace was still a weapon made of fine iron, Zhang Bao had not yet reached this ability, and even the essence of the weapon could be changed.
One hundred high-level special class Yellow Turban wrestlers stood in a square formation, each holding a mace in their hands, and although they were only wearing a thin yellow dress, they still looked very imposing. Refined iron weapons are not the best weapons for the advanced special classes of eighth-order soldiers, it stands to reason that they should be made of 100 steel, but at present, refined iron weapons are the best weapons that Zhang Jiao can find for the Yellow Turban Lux.
There is really a big gap between the background of the Yellow Turban power and the imperial court, if it is only a second-level iron weapon, and when it meets a fourth-level steel weapon, the durability is almost a big drop at once, and although the strength of the Yellow Turban wrestler is strong, but the imperial court always has a lot of army strength that is not weak, if you send an ordinary special type of Han forbidden army, and as a high-level special type of Yellow Turban wrestler, the advantage in weapons and equipment can even make up for a lot of strength gaps. And with the weapon made of fine iron, Taiping Dao has more confidence, at least it will not suffer very much, Zhang Jiao is even more confident, thinking that even if he launches an uprising now, or starts an uprising a little earlier, he can deal with it.
。。。。。。
Flying City, the City Lord's Mansion.
Lu Shuang flipped through the next official document, which was submitted by the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce, about the sale of iron weapons and fine iron weapons in Jizhou, so far, all of them have been sold out, and even in short supply, and there is one more shipment, and a total of 50,000 fine iron weapons have been sold, which is beyond Lu Shuang's expectations.
This was originally a good thing, which could create good income for Feitian City, but keen businessmen found some clues in it, and they learned from some investigations in Jizhou in the early stage that even if players can recharge game currency, the demand is there, and it is difficult to sell them all out in just two months, let alone ship an extra batch of goods.
The person in charge of Jizhou affairs is a king-level businessman of the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce, after discovering that there is a special situation, he immediately sent someone over to investigate, in the group of people who buy weapons, although they are basically purchased by player forces, but after investigation, it was found that the number of equipment purchased by these player forces is quite different from the number of sixth-order soldiers and generals in their territory, and there is a lot more.
It's not much if it's just a player force, but there are several larger player forces in the local area who are competing to buy fine iron weapons, which gives the king-level merchant the feeling that he is not competing for military equipment, but like he is buying for someone. Although the people of the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce investigated the large and small NPC forces near Zhang Wu, they would not be the kind of forces that needed so many weapons, not to mention that they had an inextricable relationship with the government, and if they wanted some weapons, they could buy them at the blacksmith shop in the official camp, and they didn't need to take a huge risk to buy them secretly, which would be judged as a rebellion.
Finally, the person in charge mentioned in the letter that he hoped that Lu Shuang could send some people over to investigate this "strange thing", otherwise if someone really tried to buy a large number of weapons from the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce to rebel, then Lu Shuang might not be able to get rid of this relationship, and it was even possible to be labeled as an accomplice.
Lu Shuang's reply was that he would continue to sell weapons in Jizhou, but only in small quantities, to fish for law enforcement, and sent rangers to investigate the matter in depth. In addition, the Jizhou branch of the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce will be transformed from arms trading to civilian supplies in the next one to two months, and the goods will be provided by Feitian City and various towns, and the Jizhou branch only needs to do a good job in sales, and the first batch of goods will arrive in Zhangwu City in about a month, so that the people of the Jizhou branch will prepare in advance. 2k reading web
