Chapter 222: Go and talk about it, I can't open my mouth anyway

"Uh, don't drive...... Will I ask...... What if I want to buy it? ”

"I can make a list for you," Zhuge Liang smiled very flatly, and he was very leisurely when he fanned the feather fan, "If the general wants, the armament can be made, and Su Tie's arrows and ring-headed knives can be bought." ”

"Jizhou is short of military rations, gold, silver and cloth, and five baht money, if we have a request, we will naturally meet it, but I remember that the Son of Heaven Xu Du has just allocated military salaries to reward the generals and horses, and he has opened his mouth to the Son of Heaven, how can there be any money left to buy and sell?"

Speaking of this, Han Hao's eyes twitched slightly, and his old face turned slightly red.

Zhuge Liang was clearly scolding, when Jizhou was short of money and food, the generals heard that 90,000 reserve soldiers and horses were going to enter the camp and prepare to develop armaments.

Now I covet other people's armaments, and I can't find anything to intercede.

Even Cao Ren, who was stationed in Yecheng, could not reach it, and the military camp was on the outskirts of Yecheng, and the two armies were separated by less than ten miles.

Cao Renjun's tiger ben looked at Dian Wei's Qinghu battalion armament, and he was so greedy that he had to recite a few words every day and night, and the people's armaments were all made of Su Iron, which was harder than the ordinary pig iron and cold iron, and the armor style was good-looking, and the heart goggles were combined with waist side armor.

Not only is it beautiful but also practical, I have already seen it when I practiced together, and Han Hao also wants it.

"Don't drive, see if you can be a little more accommodating......"

Han Hao took a deep breath and said, "Please talk to the prince, we can provide iron tools and materials......

"Yes, but the prince may not agree, and in the end he will still ask for five baht, gold and silver, cloth and military rations."

"I can't eat enough in Jizhou, and I still give people iron, this doesn't make sense, what do you say, general?" Zhuge Liang had a bright smile on his face, and spread his hands to express helplessness.

The implication is that when you make Jizhou hungry, you don't speak so well.

Now I want armaments, and I know that I have come to ask for it.

"Besides, you told me, I still have to ask the prince for permission, if the prince is angry in his heart, how can I eliminate it?"

yes, how to eliminate it......

Han Hao twisted his beard and pondered, a few years ago, he was called a Bowen, but now he has to be honored as a prince, and his temper is not small, and he holds a grudge.

In addition, Xu Bowen himself doesn't want any gifts and never accepts bribes, so you don't know what he likes, and he said that Xu Zhen was lustful back then.

Now several ladies in the family probably don't need to defile themselves anymore, and they are still busy today, doing their best for the people, so that others can't say half a word of gossip.

He must have been angry.

"So, if you want a knife, how much does it cost?"

Han Hao asked stubbornly.

"This, probably a ring-head knife made of Su Tie, you can make your own materials, plus 30,000 five-baht coins, ten pieces of cloth, or a handful of 500 stone grain."

"This ......"

The price is sky-high.

Han Hao suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down, five hundred stones of grain for a knife, if you want a hundred, it will be fifty thousand stones, and one thousand will be five hundred thousand stones.

This is an impossible deal, and there is no intention to talk about it at all, which is just to vent anger.

"Don't drive, this is also ...... It's too expensive, how can my generals afford it. ”

Zhuge Liang laughed, and said to Han Hao: "The general can not mention this matter again, and there is no knife holder on the general's neck to force him to buy it, and we actually don't want to buy it." ”

"It's that Jizhou is forced to the point that he can't eat enough, so he has to earn some military food through buying and selling first, so that the soldiers in the army can settle down and have a small family."

"It's not a secret, General Zhang Yan's 160,000 troops are still starving by the promise of my prince, and after a while, the 6,000 households in Shucheng will be delivered, and the prince will soon be scattered to these people."

"Jizhou is too difficult, alas, I can't talk more in the future, I have to go to office immediately, the generals please go back."

Zhuge Liang happily bowed his hands left and right, and immediately got up and left, and under the obstruction of a group of guards, the generals couldn't say a few words.

Han Hao, Cai Yang and the others looked at each other, and could only go back to restore their lives.

Nine days later, Xu Zhen sold 500 iron knives, 30,000 iron arrows, and 3,000 boxwood longbows to the tiger and leopard riders.

Cao Chun bought 90,000 stone of grain, and there were more than 10 million five baht money, all of which were sent to the Qinghe Government Office in Jizhou.

So the generals of the Cao family in Xudu went to see it in person, and even Cao Cao was present to see the five hundred elite drills, the famous Su Iron Knife in the northern Xinjiang, plus the Su Iron Armor Piercing Arrow, these armaments were the basis for Xu Zhen's victory in the war.

On the field of the military camp outside Xu Du, Cao Cao and many generals watched from the high platform, Cao Ang had seen it a long time ago, so his face was relaxed when he accompanied him, and he had not expected it from other generals.

At this time, 500 people charged from left to right, and there were many human piles made of iron sheets in the school field, which were difficult to cut with an ordinary knife, but after the sound of rolling horses' hooves, the first few people slashed the iron with their knives, and they struggled to cut it off, and cut it off on the spot in an instant.

When the sound of landing sounded one after another, five hundred horsemen rushed by, and dozens of iron-covered wooden stakes were decapitated, causing an uproar.

"No wonder, Xu Zhen's armor is so powerful."

"Six thousand armor cavalry rushed to Yuan Xi's fifty thousand elites and did not fall behind! In the end, more than 2,000 people were lost, and no more than 1,000 armor were lost, which was a frontal charge! ”

"I want to have this armament, as long as 3,000 can defeat the Yuan family's soldiers and horses, why be afraid of a big war, Xu Zhen takes advantage, and now I am proud of this, and I don't let the whole army get this armor, this is already a great crime."

"Prime Minister! The Son of Heaven should be ordered to let Xu Zhen hand over all these armament production methods, and our whole army can follow and build, and we can make meritorious contributions in the future! He is Hanchen, how can he hide this skill privately. ”

"Not bad! If he is angry in his heart, we will divide the grain and grass from our own camp and gather hundreds of thousands of stones of grain for him to Jizhou, but this armament must not be owned by him alone! Otherwise, if Jizhou is strong, how can we hold it down!? ”

"Doesn't Bowen treat us like outsiders! Everyone is in the same army, why bother to sell to make such a living! ”

The gossiping generals talked a lot, and there was no lack of eagerness and anticipation in their eyes, and they loved this iron armament to the point that it was difficult to give up.

Cao Cao just didn't say a word, with a gloomy face with his hands behind his back, listening to them finish everything in their hearts.

It hurts more and more in my heart when I am said, "Not bad." ”

Cao Caozhi said coldly and nodded, so that the generals who were whispering and speaking loudly did not dare to say more.

Cao Chun was more excited, and quickly issued a flag order from the commander's platform, letting the five hundred cavalry wait in line, and the next step was to practice the Su Iron Arrow.

10,000 iron arrows, can be used in a big battle, and if you win, you can pick it up again, remove or repair the broken ones, and you can also use them again, as long as you save a little, you don't need to rebuild.

In the gap between resting, Cao Chun's face was full of smiles, and he trotted all the way to Cao Cao, "Lord, if the tiger and leopard rider can be equipped with thousands of iron knives, iron armor, iron arrows and these boxwood bows, the leopard rider and the tiger rider will be upgraded to another layer of military strength, it will be simply reborn." ”

"In the Northern War, we will definitely be invincible! Who is the opponent in the whole world! Bowen improved this armament, no wonder he could win many meritorious victories! ”

"Well, that's a good point," Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and cast an approving look at Cao Chun, "Only you remember that he has made great contributions many times, and the officers and men in his army have made life and death contributions for my Northern Expedition, and sacrificed thousands of elite henchmen." No wonder he is willing to sell these to you and not to other generals. ”

"Armament is a taboo in the army, and what you have is your own skill."

"In the past, who of you has ever heard of studying armaments or getting a strategy, and it must be shared by the three armed forces? Xu Zhen is willing to report in exchange for merit, it is his business, if he doesn't mean that, but he wants to coerce, it is something that the mediocre lord does, and it will only make the relationship between the lord and the minister backfire, if I coerce you, I am afraid that I would have cried out about the injustice of the Cao family long ago. ”

When Cao Chun heard this, he looked left and right a few times with a little embarrassment, and these civil and military colleagues beside him did not speak and lowered their heads.

Cao Ren's face turned red, and his lips moved a few times, but he couldn't open his mouth.

But he can still maintain his demeanor, which is much calmer than other generals, and has the demeanor of a general.

Young people such as Cao Zhen, Cao Zhang and others were so anxious that they couldn't do it, and Cao Pi, including Cao Pi, were very hot-eyed, and if such an armament was available under his command, he would have a greater chance of leading the army to make meritorious contributions in the future.

But Cao Cao's words were like sharp knives, stabbing them in the heart, and he didn't say anything about Xu Zhen at that time, but Jizhou really couldn't eat good food, and the minced meat was not enough.

Especially the newly surrendered 160,000 Montenegrin troops.

These people, although they are descended soldiers, are still inferior to ordinary civilians, but they should also have the treatment of Qingzhou soldiers back then, when there was a shortage of population, Cao Cao was also a descendant of Qingzhou soldiers, millions of Qingxu displaced people how good and how good.

The policy of resettlement of the military tun came from that time, and only after there was money and grain did it slowly turn to the division of land to commend the farmers who had performed well and made outstanding achievements.

Now it seems that it is certainly not good to favor one over the other.

In addition, when they asked for food one by one, Cao Cao did not stop it, last year's war cost the people and money, and there were many dead and wounded officers and soldiers in the army, and they needed to be bereaved and rewarded, which is understandable.

Now that Xu Zhen has taken out the eye-catching armament, Cao Cao will not give the order to ask for it, otherwise it will hurt people's hearts.

Xu Zhen may not say anything, but what about his subordinate martial arts?

Cao Cao knew that those people were all people who were impressed by Xu Zhen, if they wronged Xu Zhen, they would not say anything on the surface, but the hidden dangers in the future were enough to kill, and the Cao clan wanted to be armed, so they had to find a way by themselves.

"Hmph, if you want to, you can go to Bowen yourself, why do you want the Son of Heaven to issue an edict."

"If the edict of the Son of Heaven is useless, what will you do!? Do I send troops to attack Jizhou? ”

Cao Cao said with a smile, this seems to be a joke again, but it makes the bottom line clear.

Could it be that if the negotiations are not successful, we will go to war?

That Cao Cao had no doubt that once he tore his face to such an extent, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in Yecheng would be swallowed by Xu Zhen immediately.

Moreover, no matter whether they win or lose, all the princes in the world will see the possibility of fighting for hegemony again, and now that they have just settled down, Jizhou still needs a lot of money and grain.

was supposed to help Xu Zhen, and Jizhou never opened his mouth is already the greatest self-esteem.

"What has Berwen been up to lately?"

Cao Cao turned around and asked, and Cao Ang immediately arched his hand and said: "As in the past, the sunrise and the day of income and rest, farming with the people, and the common benefit of the army and the people, the officials under his command follow suit, and this is the criterion, it is loved by the people in the territory, and the hearts of the people in Jizhou are more cohesive than when Yuan Shao was there." ”

Cao Ang never boasted of cheating, when he was by Xu Zhen's side, he thought about following the style, but he didn't have that kind of physical strength.

After Cao Cao heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Your sister is thirteen years old, and she can almost get married." ”

This was said in a low voice, which made Cao Ang stunned for a moment, and suddenly gave up his hand, "I understand, let's do it." ”

……

In November, Xu Du Cao's family, Cao Cheng played the son of tomorrow, issued an edict to marry Jizhou Mu, and Cao Cao became a good in-law.

sent the little girl Cao Jie to Qinghe, Jizhou, and married Xu Zhen.

Countless marriages, hundreds of carriages and horses, the mighty set off from Xudu, Xu Zhen came out of the Qinghe River to meet ten miles.

Since then, Jizhou goods have begun to circulate again, and caravans have circulated in various states, but the armaments have been bitten to death, and Xu Zhen has very few weapons such as Su Tie, and only Cao Chun can buy a little.

Not to mention the Yuan Rong crossbow, hand crossbow, etc.

In just two months, a huge amount of five-baht money and gold, silver and cloth in Jizhou have been saved in the warehouse, which can be slowly distributed to the people, and the granary has also been stored with millions of stones, so that the army has no worries about military rations.

In addition, he married the daughter-in-law of the main house to the house, and Xu Zhen's mouth was almost closed.

When the winter came, there were no natural disasters this year, there were feelings in various places, there were no disasters after the harvest, the people were well fed and clothed, and there was no large-scale epidemic of epidemics.

Jizhou is extremely peaceful.

At this time, the government office is in the main hall.

Xu Zhen finished reading the notes summarizing the reports from all over the country, and his face bloomed with joy.

[Limited Time Mission: Resettle the Displaced and Restore Prosperity]

[Completion: 88%]

Classic Eighty-Eight.

Xu Zhen looked forward to it slightly, this level of time-limited tasks can basically issue huge rewards.

"Man, your name is greedy."

Xu Zhen said secretly.

Hongyan Dan, the increase in force, and the growth of command, it is best to give some god-level characteristics, such as the immortality of all the soldiers and horses under the command.

Thinking of this, his heart gradually became beautiful.

[Lifespan: February 17, 103 6 hours]

Life expectancy is still growing steadily, and the amount consumed every day cannot keep up with the growing amount, and there is no end to the number of children and grandchildren.

"We need to increase self-discipline."

Xu Zhen closed the music and got up to go out.

[You've finished watching the recital, self-discipline +50]

Coming out of the government office, Xu Zhen went to the newly built medical hall to prepare, and transferred the funds to medical treatment, before Zhuge Liang had summarized the income, and now there are as many as 50,000 baht reserves in Jizhou, all of which are exchanged for businessmen.

There were 12,000 catties of gold, which could be used for disbursement in the warehouse, and after the five baht coins were effective in the territory, Xu Zhen could use them to promote more manpower, let them cut down trees, dig minerals, and thus give five baht as a reward.

The five-baht coin can be exchanged for the purchase of grain, which generates purchasing power.

The officers and men in the army are based on this, and they are rewarded with bereavement pensions, and under such equal value, the operation is gradually perfected, and Xu Zhen resurrects the five baht coins in the territory.

In addition, they have developed business and can drive other counties and even other states and counties.

"Junhou, the eldest prince and Xun Junshi are here to see Xu Du."

"Tsk," Xu Zhen raised his head, glanced at Dian Wei, and immediately said in great embarrassment: "I'm planning with Mr. Hua Tuo about this year's winter disaster, I don't have time, you go and help me refuse." ”

"Something for Kong Ming to entertain."

"Whoa."
