As they walked, several people came to a huge warehouse, and a huge seal script 'army' was written on the door of the warehouse.

"This is a warehouse for old armaments." Zhao Zhu ordered the guards to open the warehouse door, and suddenly, a gloomy Jin Ge aura rushed to his face, and what caught his eye was a bronze armor with a shining metallic luster, as well as a large number of leather armor, Changge, spears, bows and arrows.

In fact, the armor of various countries is basically leather armor or bamboo armor, there are also grass-woven armor, and bronze armor is a minority, and only elite legions are qualified to equip it.

As for the ironclad ...... As far as Zhao Kuo knows, except for Zhao State, there is no formed army in the world that is equipped with iron armor, and at most it is used by a small number of people who are very important but not high in force.

Because iron is too expensive to equip at all.

In order to build iron armor and large shields for the Xuanjia army, Zhao filled most of Zhao's steel into it, and bartered a large amount of refined iron from the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu, and it was not completed until a few months after the Battle of Hetao......

It is an extremely ruined behavior to be placed on any monarch, that is, Zhao Kuo can make money, so the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs did not say anything.

Originally, Zhao Guo had already completed the redress, and the main battle legion was basically replaced with iron armor except for those that were not suitable for equipping with iron armor, but with the development of spirit injection technology, Zhao Jun was about to face a change of clothes again......

"These are all old equipment that has been replaced, and the equipment that is intact is all in the Handan arsenal. These were sent over for repair, and after they were repaired, no one was sent to pick them up from the Handan arsenal, so they stayed here. Zhao Zhu said.

In the Battle of Changping, the front-line soldiers fought bloodily, and the rear was also desperately building equipment, day and night, to create enough equipment for 500,000 people.

After the end of the war, most of the soldiers were dismissed, and the armament remained.

plus the equipment of the Yan State, the Qi State, and the Xiongnu that were captured later...... Although some of them were rebuilt and cast into farming tools, most of them were retained and regularly overhauled.

In the event of equipment damage and failure to report it in time, the person in charge will be dismissed from his post or beheaded.

Zhao Guotie's weapons have become popular, but if there is another major war that requires the strength of the whole country, these weapons can still come in handy.

However, with the advent of blast furnaces, Zhao's steel production has increased significantly, and the possibility of these bronze weapons in the warehouse going to the battlefield again is very small.

"It's useless to have so many armaments piled up in warehouses, and a batch of them will be transferred to various places for training and use when the countrymen are doing military service." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said.

Zhao Guo's current spearhead and spearhead combined, it is nearly a million, which is still the number after melting some of them.

There is no way, the difficulty of building the spear head and spearhead is the least, the copper is the least, and it is still a long weapon, which can be used with a rod, and the cost performance is also high.

All countries are throwing a spear or spearhead to the farmer who has just been requisitioned, and then they have completed the gorgeous transformation from a farmer to a soldier.

What Zhao Guo seized were also these broken spear heads and broken spear heads, other armor, bows and arrows, etc...... There are less than a tenth of the number of spears.

"The ministers will arrange it." Lin Xiangru nodded.

Although Zhao changed to a conscription system, he did not give up the conscription system, and when necessary, all adult men had to go to the battlefield, and it was very necessary to ensure a certain military literacy.

Zhao Kuo turned around the workshop, and after knowing it in his heart, he returned to Handan with Lin Xiangru.

As soon as he arrived in Handan, Yuan Hua sent someone to deliver a letter. He has already led the navy to Yingzhou again.

On this trip, he brought a large amount of smelting equipment and hundreds of craftsmen.

These craftsmen were all subordinates before, and now they have been pardoned as concubines, and in addition to this, Zhao has also pardoned their families.

If nothing else, these people will live in Yingzhou for the rest of their lives and will not come back.

For them, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At least in Zhao State, they were just a minister, and when they arrived in Yingzhou, they instantly became a master.

If you are not a picky eater, it is possible to have as many concubines as you want, and those Yingzhou women will line up to send them to the door.

The emperor is far away, don't say that Zhao Guo doesn't know, even if he knows, he will turn a blind eye.

"There should be a governor in Yingzhou to facilitate management, but I'm afraid no one wants to. That place is too poor, and few people are willing to go to the feudal area, let alone just be an official. ”

The early summer nights are very cool and comfortable, the sky is dotted with stars, and the moonlight falls from the sky like a curtain of light, laying a silvery white carpet on the earth.

Zhao Kuo lay on the rocking chair, looked at the night sky, and shook his head slightly.

Even in the Tang and Song dynasties, going to Lingnan to be an official was called distribution, not to mention going to Yingzhou to be an official during the Warring States Period, it was not as good as distribution, and if he didn't do it, he would die there, and he didn't want to go.

It's not easy to divide the seal.

Yingzhou is not suitable for growing grain, grazing, or sericulture, and the only benefit is minerals.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the bulk of the minerals belongs to Zhao Guo, and even if he is divided there, he can only get a small head.

"No matter how barren Yingzhou is, it is also a fief. If you really can't lower some standards, the nobles can't look at it, but there are always people who can look at it. Zhao Kuo thought in his heart, he didn't believe it, and there was no one in the fief who wanted it.

"What is the king thinking?" Zhao Ji's voice sounded behind him, and soon, a pair of soft soft wattles fell on Zhao Kuo's cheeks, and his eyes were extremely charming.

Zhao Kuo's harem, if you talk about appearance, you have their own merits, but if you talk about coquettishness, no one can compare to Zhao Ji, and every move has a sense of charm.

"You say, will no one want the fief?" Zhao Kuo held Zhao Ji's hands with his backhand, pulled them with the trend, and pulled them in his arms.

"The king will laugh, how can no one want the fief? Everyone will only think that they have less fiefs, how can they think that there are more fiefs. Zhao Ji lay in Zhao Kuo's arms and chuckled.

"Hahaha, what Concubine Ai said is that this king was actually thinking about a group of people thousands of miles away just now." Zhao Kuo laughed.

"The king is joking again, is there anyone thousands of miles away who doesn't say, even if there are people, how can anyone let the king worry." Zhao Ji said.

"That's my Zhao people, and they are opening up trade routes for my Zhao country." Zhao Kuo said.

If it weren't for the news from the Qin State that the merchants who had been sent by the Qin State to the extreme west had returned, Zhao Kuo would have almost forgotten that the Zhao State also had a group of people who were thousands of miles away to overcome obstacles for the Zhao State.

The Juyan Ancient Road is more dangerous than the Hexi Corridor, almost all of the deserts along the way, and after nearly two years, Zhao Kuo can't be sure whether these are still alive.

"There are people in my Zhao Kingdom who are thousands of miles away to open up trade routes." Zhao Ji showed surprise on her face, "The concubine believes that the national fortune of my Zhao Kingdom will definitely protect them and let them return safely." ”
