Go back to the Three Kingdoms to grow vegetables

Chapter 224 Armament
The current prosperity of Lucheng Pavilion is supported by a troika of fine grains, weaving mats and shoes, and various medicinal materials. The troika escorting Lucheng Pavilion is the barracks, horse farm, and weapon supervisor.

Yu Jin was in charge of the barracks, Liu Yuanqi, Liu He and his son ran the racecourse, and Gao Shun supervised the weapon supervision.

The weapon supervisor is located in the arsenal between the barracks and the grain depot. The arsenal is guarded by heavy soldiers, and is guarded by a group of elite soldiers from the barracks every day.

"This is an important place for grain depots, and those who come will stop."

The arsenal is still a grain depot in name, and there are four soldiers at the door, but there are three steps, one post and five steps, and one sentry inside the door. The guards are even stricter than the Hou's mansion.

"Don't you have eyes? This is the lord."

Chen Dao stepped forward and shouted.

The guard didn't raise his head, and sternly shouted: "I'm sorry, I don't know the lord, but I only know the military order, and I am not allowed to enter the important area of ​​the grain depot without an order."

"you……"

Chen Dao still wanted to argue with him, so Liu Bei grabbed Chen Dao and took out a pure gold token from his bosom.

The guard took the token from Chen Dao's hand. The token was made of pure gold. On the front was a five-clawed golden dragon flying across the sky. The golden dragon circled the city, with a Liu character engraved inside the circle, and a mulberry tree in the shape of a canopy engraved on the back.

As written in the military order, the guard immediately knelt down and shouted: "I have seen the Lord."

"Ok!"

Entering the gate, a group of soldiers standing in line indicated the location of the arsenal, and two small grain depots blocked the real weapon workshop.

"Lord."

Gao Shun was blacksmithing when he saw Liu Bei hurriedly handing the hammer to the apprentice next to him.

"Zimu, this is Brother Wen Gong. From today on, he will be your immediate leader."

Liu Bei pointed to Zheng Hun and introduced to Gao Shun.

Gao Shun grabbed Zheng Hun's hand with joy on his face, and said, "Mr. Wengong, I'm looking forward to you."

Zheng Hun was a little embarrassed by Gao Shun's enthusiasm: "Brother Zimu, I'm so disgusted, Hun would rather be your little disciple."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Gao Shun waved again and again.

"Okay, there will be plenty of opportunities to chat with each other in the future, Zimu, first show us your achievements."

Liu Bei interrupted their exchange of greetings, Gao Shun heard the words and said excitedly: "My lord, the one in front of me is forging, the other side is quenching, and the other side is carburizing. I have broken down the process into several stages according to my lord's instructions. Sure enough, it has improved a lot, and now I can forge three [-]-refined Jushou knives a day."

Liu Bei slashed a few times with the thirty-refined shovel knife, and asked, "Is there any iron from the stars in this knife now?"

Gao Shun nodded: "It's been mixed, but it's not made of pure star iron like Shenbing, the power will drop a lot, and it can cut ten ordinary knives and then curl the blade."

"Ok!"

Liu Bei nodded: "How many do you use for experiments?"

Gao Shun was taken aback, although this weapon is not a magical weapon, it is also the first knife made in thirty years of practice, and Gao Shun's heart aches if he cuts it off: "There is only one."

"Try a few more!"

"what?"

Gao Shun looked at Liu Bei in pain, and nodded in pain when he saw Liu Bei nodding resolutely.

There is also a long gun workshop. The first knife is more complicated than the gun, and the long gun only needs to be the tip, and the gun body is made of century-old white wax rods, so ten gun heads can be made in a day.

Downstairs is the long halberd workshop. A halberd is more difficult to forge than a shoudao. It may not be possible to forge one in a day. Making a halberd is not as good as making a magical weapon.

There are six kinds of bow materials: wood, horn, glue, tendon, lacquer and silk.

The best wood is Zhemu, which is hard to find, but Liu Bei has a farm, and Zhemu can be planted in large quantities.

For horns, pay attention to the season when cattle are slaughtered, and the selection of horns should be "blue and white with a rich end".

Three colors refer to the root of the horn is white, the middle is blue, and the end is full.

Niu Dai Niu means that a pair of good horns is equivalent to the price of a cow.

Liu Bei's ranch is rich in cattle, and the horns of each cow are suitable for making bows.

For the glue, the darker and drier the better, the thinner and longer the ribs, the better, the lacquer should be clear to the end, and the silk should be bright and shiny.

Although the farm can produce as much as possible, there are still special personnel to inspect the fineness of this material.

One hundred bows can be produced in a month, but the crossbow is much more troublesome. Although Liu Bei got all the materials in the arsenal of the Han Dynasty, he didn't make a single crossbow.

The arrow workshop has the largest number of people, with arrows, arrow shafts, and feathers, and everyone can assemble them.

"The focus of the next step is to make crossbows, and to step up the development of various arrows."

The general term for eight arrows.Eight kinds of arrows in ancient China. <Zhou Li. Xia Guan. Si Gongyao> "The method of six bows, four crossbows and eight bows is often used." The eight bows are Wanyao, Qiyao, Shayao, Houyao, Hengyao, Biyao, Wuyao and Qiyao: It can be launched with fire for city defense and chariot battles; Shayao and Houyao are used for short-range shooting and field hunting; Hengyao and Biyao are used for scattering; Yaobai and Qiyao are used for long-range shooting.

However, these eight ancient arrows did not satisfy Liu Bei. What kind of barbed arrows and double-feathered light hook arrows are what Liu Bei likes, not to mention the development of crossbow arrows.

"promise!"

When Liu Bei left the arsenal, he was both happy and worried. He was happy that his weapons were more advanced than others, but he was worried that his production could not increase.

Seeing that the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju is imminent, if the output cannot keep up, it means that the expansion of the army cannot keep up. Just like the German Leopard tanks in World War II, no matter how good they were, if the output could not keep up, they would not be drowned in the sea of ​​Soviet tanks.

"My lord, an angel has arrived."

Liu Bei was about to go to the shopping street to have a look, when he met Liu Zhong driving his horse.

"Angel?"

Liu Bei had been prepared for a long time, but he didn't expect to come so soon.

"What is your name?"

"Sun Meng."

"Who?"

Liu Bei asked, Sun Meng, why haven't you heard of it?
When Liu Bei returned to Houfu, he heard the voices of Jian Yong and Jian Yong's father Jian Yuan from afar.

"Ming Gong is just joking! My son-in-law is not so powerful, he is just lucky, that's all."

"Haha! Brother Bo Xu is just joking, good luck."

A man with a loud voice said, "Why is there only one Lord Liu in such a big Hebei?"

"Hmm! Liao Zhuojun's words are reasonable, but Master Jian's record is too modest."

A drake sounded.

As soon as Liu Bei entered the hall, he saw Jian Yuan laughing with a prefect Yinshou and Zhonghuangmen.

"Master Hou (I've met Lord Hou)!"

A group of people greeted quickly.

"Excuse me, everyone. Please forgive my lonely eyes, these two are."

Liu Bei pointed to the man wearing the prefect's seal to talk to Xiao Huang.

"The next official is Liao Hun, the new prefect of Zhuo County, and his style is Pingyuan. This is Sun Meng from the Zhonghuang sect, and he is here to proclaim the decree."

"Oh! So it's Liao Zhuojun and Sun Huangmen. As the saying goes: If you don't have anything to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall. What's the matter with you two coming alone?"

Liu Bei opened his eyes and told nonsense. As early as Liu Bei's return to Zhuojun, an angel ordered Liu Bei to return to Beijing, but Liu Bei refused.

These days, if you ask me to be an official, I don't have to be an official.

Sun Meng chuckled: "Our family came here by imperial decree, and His Majesty wants to conscript the Marquis as a Wei Wei."

Liu Bei cupped his hands: "Forgive me for being an orphan with shallow morals and poor morals."

Sun Meng was clearly prepared and not angry, he fled a piece of silk from his sleeve and said, "Master Hou, this is Zhao Changqiu's handwriting."

"understood."
