When Liu Ying rode the unique yellow house Zuoxu in the whole world, and slowly arrived outside the Luban Garden, which was located in Shanglin Garden, the courtiers and officials who participated in today's Chang Dynasty, and even some of the meritorious princes who did not participate in the court meeting, were already waiting outside the garden.

The time also went from the second hour (6 o'clock) at the beginning of the court meeting to the ninth hour (9 o'clock) at the beginning of the day.

After stepping off the imperial chariot, Liu Ying didn't make many detours: Let's go in with me and have a look!

But what Liu Ying expected was that what Liu Ying wanted to show the courtiers and officials was moved out of Lubanyuan early by Shaofu Yangcheng;

As for the gate of Luban Garden, it is rare to see the door locked······

"Doesn't it end there?"

subconsciously let out a surprised light inquiry, but saw Yang Chengyan beside him take two steps forward with a smile, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty forgive me; ”

"The minister still thinks that the things that are being done in Luban Yuan and have not yet been made are really a little ······"

"Well, it's a little too advanced to show ·········"

"Hahahahaha~"

Hearing that Yang Chengyan's sentence was quite Versailles, and there was a vague description of déjà vu, Liu Ying only laughed uncontrollably.

After laughing, he restrained his smile under the strange gaze of the Hundred Officials and Meritorious Marquis, Liu Ying was embarrassed, and couldn't help but feel nostalgic and sigh.

- Once upon a time, the soldiers of the Han army had a red robe and a halberd, but they had to face the tiger and wolf Qin who was armed to the teeth;

Later, it was still the red military robe and the bronze halberd with wooden handles, and just a simple leather wallet was added, and he had to face the fierce pawns under the command of the overlord Xiang Yu.

More than ten years ago, in the battle of the Han and Hun Pingcheng, Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang was extremely generous to gather thousands of chariots, and he was bound to compete with the Xiongnu Shan Yu Maodu!

Unexpectedly, in the Central Plains, the elite chariot troops, which can only be equipped by big dogs, were killed in front of the Hun light cavalry and rangers······

In later generations, some people always thought that the battle of Han-Hun Pingcheng, which was a strategic victory for the Han dynasty and finally reached a peace agreement, was clearly a 'small victory' for the Han dynasty;

Such a small victory, even if the factor of Han Taizu Liu Bang being trapped in the siege of Baideng is taken into account, it is definitely not a 'humiliation'.

But what these people didn't notice was that the siege of Baideng in the Han Dynasty was regarded as a great shame by the kings of the Han family, and even by Emperor Wu Liu Che as the original plan of the 'Northern Expedition to the Huns', was not the siege of Baideng;

What really made this Han-Hun Pingcheng Battle, which ended in a small victory of the Han Dynasty, known as 'a great shame' by the world, was the chariot that the Chinese civilization had regarded as a 'supreme weapon' and even a 'heavy weapon of the country' for thousands of years, and was blood-tortured by the Huns' light cavalry, rangers, and even the 'foot cavalry' who liked to dismount and fight hand-to-hand!

Just like in later generations, the river bend war caused by stupid big trees shocked the whole world and even began to promote military reform;

- The Battle of Pingcheng in the Han and Hungarian Dynasties was like the Huns who slapped an extremely loud slap on the face of the Han family, and then dropped a sentence: My lord, times have changed······

Since that year, Han Shaofu has never produced even a single military chariot;

The thousands of combat vehicles that once equipped the troops were all eliminated in just a few years, and even a considerable part of them were smelted into the once 'world-famous' Han Qian three baht.

It was also from that year that the concept of 'only cavalry can defeat cavalry' became a truth that penetrated into the hearts of every Han army soldier.

- Valuable experience gained in exchange for a highly ironic failed battle.

And today, when the reincarnation of fate regresses to the Han family, and Yangchengyan, the Shaofu of the Han Dynasty, also says the sentence engraved in the fate of the Chinese nation, 'too advanced, inconvenient to display', the calamitous Chinese civilization and Liu Han Sheji are bound to usher in a new turning point······

"Ladies and gentlemen, look."

Liu Ying was thinking about it, and Yangchengyan on the side had already walked outside Luban Garden, in front of the 'stall' with standard ordnance;

But when he saw the arrow feather in Yang Chengyan's hand, Liu Ying, like most of the hundred officials and meritorious marquis, showed an expression of lack of interest.

Seeing everyone's reaction like this, Yang Chengyan was not annoyed, but only smiled and said: "This three-edged arrow has been known to the public since a few years ago; And now, all the pawns of Han bows and crossbows also use this three-edged arrow as a standing feather arrow, which is indeed not rare. ”

"However, those who don't know about it are a few years old, and the pre-Qin documents stored in Shaofu from Shiqu Pavilion have found Qin Shaofu, and there is an easy way to make this three-edged arrow."

Speaking indifferently, Yang Chengyan saw the arrow in his hand put back into the wooden box in front of him, and immediately turned around and took a thick paper book from the scribe's hand.

"With this method of Qin Legacy, in the past few years, Shaofu also made this three-edged arrow cluster, which is more than 70 million!"

"And all the bows and crossbow feathers produced by Shaofu have been made into three parts: arrow clusters, the front section of the arrow body, and the front and rear ends, which can be split and reorganized."

"Therefore, in the future, but the Han family has not yet fled and has no time to pick up arrows, then the bow and crossbow pawn should no longer be lacking in bitter feathers and arrows······"

Still with an extremely indifferent expression, he said this sentence that made the officials and courtiers dumbfounded, and Yang Chengyan stepped forward with a smile and handed the booklet in his hand to Wang Ling.

"This is a record of the three-edged arrow cluster produced by Shaofu; All that is in this book has been deposited in the Chang'an Arsenal······"

As Yang Chengyan said another terrifying remark, the crowd suddenly became a little noisy, and all the officials and Gonghou turned to the side in shock, and the people around him turned their heads and ears.

- 70 million arrows!

What is the concept?

According to the weight of each arrow cluster is two taels, the copper consumed by these 70 million arrow clusters weighs 14 million catties!

With this 14 million catties of copper, even if it is completely unmixed with lead, you can get at least 60,000 five-baht coins!!

If you count lead······

"Last year, how much is the entrance of Shaofu?"

"The people of the world's first masters are only 10 million, 40 yuan per person, and at most 40,000 ······"

"Hiss~"

"This three-edged arrow cluster is tens of millions, and it should be entered by the mouth of Shaofu in recent years?!"

Hearing the exchange of several Qianshi officials in his ears, Yang Chengyan shook his head with a smile.

In the year when Liu Ying ascended the throne, when Liu Ying proposed to reduce the oral allowance from one calculation per person per year, that is, one hundred and twenty yuan, to one calculation per three people per year, that is, forty yuan per person, Yang Chengyan at that time really felt extremely painful about this.

This can't be blamed on Yangchengyan's stinginess, but at that time, the financial situation of Shaofu was too bad;

Even if the three-baht coin had been abolished at that time, and the Shaofu also had the cash cow of the grain and rice official camp, for the Shaofu at that time, the oral endowment was still the largest part of the income.

Cutting off two-thirds of Shaofu's main income method at once is indeed a bit painful for Yang Chengyan.

But after six years from Liu Ying's ascension to the throne, the Shaofu under the control of Yang Chengyan has long been different from the past.

At the beginning, it was the Shaofu that stored grain on behalf of the people, which doubled the income of the Shaofu at once, and then the government-run grain and rice, which doubled the income of the Shaofu several times!

And now, although the grain storage on behalf of the people is coming to an end, and the official grain and rice are basically not making money, Shaofu has earned far more in salt and iron than in the past, and the little bit of grain is much more.

It is no exaggeration to say: At the moment, even if Liu Ying says to cancel the oral endowment, Yang Chengyan will definitely not feel distressed!

Forty yuan per person per year, adding up to only 40,000 yuan, Yangchengyan, a big dog, has long stopped caring about this little money.

At the beginning of this year, Yang Chengyan did this - out of the consideration of coaxing Liu Ying to be happy and gaining some prestige by the way, Yang Chengyan asked Liu Ying: directly cancel the oral allowance to reduce the burden on the people.

It's a pity that for some reason, Liu Ying didn't adopt Yang Chengyan's suggestion, but just retreated and promised to lower the Han family's oral endowment by another level: from forty yuan per person per year to twenty yuan per person per year.

What is the specific reason why Liu Ying is unwilling to cancel this dispensable verbal endowment, Yang Chengyan is not very clear.

It's just that when he was leaving the palace, Yang Chengyan seemed to vaguely hear behind him, Liu Ying said something to himself, 'Wait for the future, and then let my son drop to ten yuan'······

"Xu is a verbal endowment, which is what His Majesty said is an 'indispensable' system······"

With a light sigh thoughtfully, Yang Chengyan moved his steps and came to the second 'stall'.

"Let's take a look."

With a loud voice, the attention of the courtiers and officials was focused on him again, and Yang Chengyan's face finally swelled with a little confidence.

"This is the scale armor and plate armor made by the Shaofu on the order of His Majesty."

"These two armors are made of evil gold, the scale armor weighs fifty catties, and the plate armor weighs seventy catties······"

With the sound of Yang Chengyan's words, the attention of the courtiers and officials had all gathered in front of them, on the two bright bust armors.

As far as everyone can see: the scale armor in Yangchengyan's mouth is made of stacked pieces of iron pieces about two inches long and less than one inch wide, which can completely cover the front chest and back, but cannot take care of the limbs;

Judging from its appearance, its appearance is similar to the leather zhá armor commonly used by the Han army today, which is a half-body armor that only protects the front chest and back.

It's just that unlike the lightweight and easy-to-make armor, this kind of scale armor made of stacked iron pieces is extremely heavy, weighing fifty catties!

Perhaps the only thing better than the armor is that the wearer can move without restriction compared to this extraordinary weight;

But because of this 'advantage', it is precisely because of each 'fish scale' that there will inevitably be gaps from time to time!

Compared to this kind of safety hazard, the advantage of the scale family's 'allowing the equipment to move freely' is obviously not worth mentioning.

As for the plate armor······

Hey!

This one is even more 'heavyweight'!

- I can't even protect my back, I can only protect a piece of cuirass on my chest, which weighs a full seventy pounds!

Such a weight naturally means extremely high defense;

But at the same time, it also means extremely high costs and a huge burden on the soldiers.

"This ······"

Looking at the two pieces of armor in front of them, the courtiers and officials only looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to speak.

It was at this moment that Liu Ying, who had always been watching coldly from one side, finally stood up with a smile.

"Scale armor, its cost is expensive, and because of the stacking of armor scales, it is not very safe;"

"Therefore, I made Shaofu make this scale armor, not for foot soldiers, but for bows and crossbows."

"—Scales and armor can make the pawn move freely, so the bow and crossbow are not hindered; And although this scale armor is difficult to block the sword and sword, it is difficult for the enemy's arrows to break the defense of this scale armor······"

Hearing Liu Ying's explanation, everyone suddenly realized, and immediately looked at Yang Chengyan with a strange face.

Indeed, as Liu Ying said: compared with leather armor, this iron scale armor can be said to be completely exploded by the armor in terms of production cost, overall weight, and safety during hand-to-hand combat!

However, when it comes to the 'freedom of movement of the equiptor' and the ability to defend frontally, the armor is far from being able to easily touch porcelain with this kind of iron scale armor.

If the infantry is allowed to wear this kind of scale armor, they will charge into battle and fight the enemy hand-to-hand, as long as the enemy understands the weakness of this armor, it will be easy to break through the scale armor's defenses.

Reverse the direction of the scales and stab them from the bottom up!

But if the crossbow troops were equipped with this scale armor, there would be no such problem.

In the vast majority of cases, the threat encountered by the crossbow troops is often the same as the enemy's crossbow projectile;

And with the scale armor, the probability of the bow and crossbow troops being hit by the enemy's projectile can be greatly reduced.

- It is rare for an enemy to shoot a crossbow from the bottom up, not to mention against the scales, and it is rare for it to shoot flat from the front and hit the crossbow troops!

Most of the time, the blows of the crossbow troops are the arrows fired by the enemy crossbow troops, which draw a parabola from the top of the front infantry shield array, and then plunge down from the sky.

In this case, it is extremely important for the scale armor to have both the characteristics of 'resistance to blows' and 'freedom of movement'.

As for the weight?

Hey!

The bow and crossbow troops are not formed by some kind of peasant rebel army, or by any strong man pulled from anywhere!

From the primitive period when the weapon 'bow' was born to the era of thermal weapons in later generations, those who can become crossbowmen will always be the elite of the elite!

Fifty Han catties, but the weight of more than ten kilograms in later generations can't even support this weight, so he doesn't deserve to be called 'elite'.

It is precisely because of this reason that everyone's gaze at Yang Chengyan will become more and more strange.

"A pound of evil gold can be worth nearly a thousand dollars!"

"Tens of thousands of dollars of evil gold, making this pair of scale armor, is only used for bows and crossbows······"

The more they thought about it, the more they looked at Yang Chengyan's gaze, the more they had an extremely complicated gaze.

- subconscious envy, jealousy with a little apprehension, and, undisguised scrutiny!

"How much money has Shaofu made over the years?!!
