"Don't send it anymore, go back and take care of Pang Lao...... After that, if there is anything, you can go to the county to find the Xinye County Order, Pang Lao is the treasure of the Chu State, you have a great responsibility, hahaha. ”

Bai Tu and the young man who greeted him also laughed.

That's right, he just came out of Pang Degong's hermitage, and this time he came to visit Pang Degong, although he didn't return empty-handed, at least he saw Pang Degong, and Sima Hui who was really here, but the two of them had no intention of going out.

Bai Tu also proposed to confer the titles of Taifu and Taibao on the two - anyway, under the system of six ministries and one court, these so-called three tains and three dukes are all very famous and have a very high status...... of honors.

Including generals, chariot generals, etc., as long as they do not hold a position in the Privy Council and do not actually run the army, they can also be regarded as honorary titles.

There are a large number of nominal titles, which can be used to buy people's hearts, which can also be regarded as a hidden benefit of the six-ministry and unicameral system.

Sima Hui and Pang Degong still insisted on this, but they recommended a few students or young talents who were in Nanyang at this time to Bai Tu.

So Bai Tu proposed to hire two people as the honorary sacrificial wine of Nanyang County School, and have the right to recommend officials equivalent to 2,000 stone for the county school and the palace test......

Because this time it was not an official position, it was theoretically an honorary position of official learning, and it was Bai Tu who personally invited him, so Sima Hui and Pang Degong responded.

Bai Tu was also in a good mood when he left, even if he fulfilled his psychological expectations - hermits like Sima Hui and Pang Degong really came out and held actual positions, but they might not really be of much help, and their knowledge may not be suitable for hard work, the times, and the Chu State.

However, as long as they accept the canonization of the Chu State, it is already a help to the Chu State, which is equivalent to giving the Chu State a buff of "Nanzhou Scholar's Favorability +20%, and the World's Scholar's Favorability +10%", which is still very outstanding.

Not to mention, the two also recommended a lot of young talents to Bai Tu......

It's just that...... There is no Zhuge Liang in it.

It is said that at this time, if it is changed to a history without the white picture effect, it should be the second year of Liu Bei's refuge in Liu Biao and stationed in Xinye, and there are still six years before Zhuge Liang officially came out of the mountain, but Zhuge Liang has lived in seclusion in Longzhong at this time, and won the championship last year.

Before Zhuge Liang went out of the mountain, although his reputation was not obvious when he looked at the world, in Longzhong, because he often compared himself with Le Yi and Guan Zhong, he ...... Whether others ridicule or admire, at least they have some local fame, and Sima Hui and Pang Degong shouldn't be unaware.

Bai Tu also specially mentioned that he heard that "some people in Longzhong compare themselves with Le Yi and Guan Zhong", but Sima Hui and Pang Degong showed a wry smile when they heard this, and finally although they mentioned Zhuge Liang's name to Bai Tu, so that Bai Tu could "be famous" to conquer, but the words were not very optimistic that Bai Tu could conquer Zhuge Liang.

After leaving Pang Degong's residence, Bai Tu returned all the way to Xinye.

Because considering that Pang Degong and Sima Hui definitely didn't want to be disturbed by too heavy worldly atmosphere, Bai Tu came in plain clothes, and on the surface it looked no different from the big men with more than a dozen guards, and the horses were all civilian.

Lu Bu originally wanted to protect Bai Tu personally, but Bai Tu refused, after all, Lu Bu was a privy envoy, and being a "bodyguard" was too big and useless.

As a privy envoy, Lu Bu also has his own things along the way - inspecting the rectification of Jingzhou and the training of the new army!

Xinye because it was the gateway to the north of Jingzhou Prefecture before, so there are many military camps around, although it has been transferred now, but when training the new army, Xinye also has a new army in training because of the complete facilities, and ...... Huang Zhong is still in charge.

There are not 100 or 80 miscellaneous generals like "guerrilla generals" in Chu State, and Huang Zhong is not even in the top 50 in the military.

However, everyone knows that as a transcendent general, Huang Zhong is still fundamentally different from other miscellaneous generals.

When recruiting soldiers and training the new army in Nanyang, he was also entrusted with an important task, and ordered him to select those with long arms in the source of the army, and specially trained 5,000 Jizao soldiers who were good at shooting, and then focused on training......

Therefore, Bai Tu directly ordered Huang Zhong to guard, and Lu Bu went to test the new army trained by Huang Zhong.

Bai Tu was in the car at this time, and found that Huang Zhong, who was riding a horse next to him, was a little distracted, so he opened his mouth to persuade him: "Hansheng don't have to be nervous, since my father-in-law promised before, he won't intentionally embarrass you." ”

"The king misunderstood, the last general was not suspicious of the privy envoy, let alone worried about the new army trained by the last general, but ...... I was thinking about the musket and the real crossbow that the main bus gave to the last general last night. Huang Zhong was very confident in the results of the initial training of the new army, and instead brought up what Bai Tu gave him last night.

Because the musket did not have a stamping machine and did not mass-produce regular ammunition, it was not possible to mass-produce breech guns, and now there are only some breech-loading guns in the "research significance".

"Oh? What does General Hansheng think? Bai Tu immediately asked.

The musket is due to process reasons, and the true qi crossbow is due to cost reasons, so it cannot be mass-produced for the time being, and it will definitely still be a bow and crossbow in the short term, so Bai Tu will let Huang Zhong train a good shooter.

The reason why he was shown the musket and the True Qi crossbow was because Bai Tu wanted him to help with the staff......

Recently, there have been some discord within the Ministry of Industry, and there have been huge differences between Yu Ji, who is in charge of the sacrificial wine of the musket, and Huang Yueying, the sacrificial wine of the agency, on the development of single-person long-range weapons.

Yu Ji's specialty is the separation and synthesis of elements, that is...... The gunpowder formula and alloy ratio are his strengths, and the musket needs to go one step further and move towards the breech gun, which requires not complicated mechanics, mainly gunpowder and barrel materials, as well as the process of loading bullets!

However, Yu Ji's constantly improving musket was still disliked by Huang Yueying, thinking that gunpowder power was not suitable for use in single-person weapons at all, and instead of developing muskets, it was better to fund her more True Qi crossbow series!

However, in the development of artillery, Huang Yueying has to admit that whether it is a large real gas cannon or a machine stone cannon, the cost performance is obviously inferior to that of artillery.

Bai Tu was also very hesitant, the previous lesson of Lu Bu's "leading the charge" told Bai Tu that the world of Chengji was different from the world before him, whether to grit his teeth and support the musket to survive the weak period, or continue to add points to the true qi crossbow...... Which is more cost-effective and more developing?

With a large number of new sources of True Qi resources now in sight, it seems that the defects of the True Qi Crossbow are not irreparable......

In the end, Bai Tu felt that this matter only relied on his own subjective judgment, I am afraid that it was not so reliable, first, he would continue to support both, observe the development of the next one or two stages, and secondly, ...... Bai Tu also consulted more experienced generals such as Lu Bu and Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong was very moved-after all, this is related to the important development direction of Chu's armaments in the future, and asking for his opinion on this kind of thing shows that the king of Chu trusts him, but it is ......

Huang Zhong is also a little unsure of this idea!
