The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 247
Chapter 250 IX Progressing Smoothly

Liu Bei Group does not have any kind of technical talents now, whether it is top strategists or the lowest technicians, they are the most in the whole big man.

It can be said that Liu Bei has concentrated most of the technical personnel of the Han Dynasty, and there are many from all walks of life, such as carpenters, brewers, shipbuilders, etc., there are countless.

Moreover, Chen Ziming is also planning to assess and grade craftsmen from all walks of life like later generations, so as to cultivate a group of high-tech talents.

Let the craftsmen form a hierarchy, so that the craftsmen can arouse their sense of competition, and also to improve the level of treatment of those craftsmen with real skills.

However, this is a huge project, and it cannot be established in a few words. Different industries have different requirements for technology. It needs to be subdivided, professional, and master-level figures are required.

Moreover, many of today's skilled workers are illiterate, unable to read a single character, and asking them to take the exam is completely embarrassing for them.

In response to this situation, Chen Ziming plans to establish a professional technical college, just like the famous technical colleges such as New Oriental and Nanxiang in later generations, to train countless real professional technicians for Liu Bei Group.

Under Chen Ziming's guidance, the military factory of Liu Bei Group has already possessed a strong production capacity, formed a streamlined existence, and carried out three shifts to speed up production to the maximum extent.

With the strong support of Chen Ziming, Youzhou Liaodong quickly established a huge arsenal, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres and countless workers.

And it is not far from the iron mine veins. At the same time, in Liaodong, Youzhou, an open-pit coal mine was discovered, which is very easy to mine.

Today, Liaodong has established a trinity super industrial system consisting of iron ore factories, coal mine factories and arsenals.

However, what Chen Ziming can't hide is that these factories basically rely on manpower to survive, without any mechanical equipment at all, and it is impossible for those high-tech gadgets to appear in an era.

Moreover, this kind of thing does not have electricity or a steam engine, it is just a pile of scrap iron. Anyway, these things are definitely not available now, but it is possible in the future, but it requires a very large number of technical researchers to study slowly.

Chen Ziming wanted to take the time to get these things out, but the production technology couldn't keep up. Even if Chen Ziming knew how to do it, he wouldn't be able to get it out for a while.

Chen Ziming can only see if he still has the energy to get these things after he dominates the world.

Therefore, although Liaodong's huge ordnance system has been established, the production efficiency does not satisfy Chen Ziming.And the cost is very high, and the labor cost alone is a terrible expense.

It is worth mentioning that in the area ruled by Liu Bei, silver began to be used as currency in circulation.It turns out that the Dahan only had gold and copper as currency in circulation. Although there was silver, it was not currency in circulation.

Under Chen Ziming's suggestion, a silver-level currency was added between gold and copper, so that there would be no need to go out with several large boxes of copper coins.

You must know that the tax exchange ratio of gold and copper coins is very high. One or two gold can be taxed for a lot of copper coins, which is very inconvenient, but silver is much more convenient. Rich people go out and bring some silver. It's no better than taking away a box of copper coins, and you don't have to worry about finding gold.

The appearance of silver is very popular among the common people, especially those aristocratic families, who have begun to store a large amount of tax-for-silver, exchanging several houses of copper coins in their hands for tax.

Silver is a very rare thing, and under Liu Bei's rule, all ores are owned by Liu Bei, and no one is allowed to mine without permission, and the same is true for silver mines.

In this way, Liu Bei has complete control over the source of the silver, and now there are countless silver in Iwami Yinshan, as long as it is mined and refined a little, it will be countless money.

This is a real currency, which can be circulated completely, and now the entire Han Dynasty has begun to circulate silver-level currency. That is to say, Liu Bei Group is now guarding a silver mountain, with countless silver, which can't be spent all the time.

The only imperfection is that today's mining technology is too backward, relying entirely on manpower, and the efficiency is very low, otherwise the development speed of Liu Bei Group can be increased several times.

"Feng Xiao, how is your plot going?" Chen Ziming came to Guo Jia's office that day and began to ask about the progress of Hebei's plan.

"Teacher, please pay attention to the wording. What is conspiracy? This is strategy, strategy, understand?" Before Guo Jia could speak, Pang Tong who was beside Guo Jia spoke first.

"Feng Xiao, look at you, how you have brought my student into me, no matter how big or small, I didn't salute the teacher first, and even talked back." Chen Ziming looked at Guo Jia viciously, with a look on his face. You accompany me like the original Miyoshi student.

"Like a teacher, there must be a disciple. How can you blame me. Well, let's talk about business." Guo Jia looked too lazy to argue with Chen Ziming, and motioned Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong to step aside so that he could discuss important matters with Chen Ziming.

"Oh, it seems that the affairs in Hebei are going well, when can troops enter Jizhou?" Chen Ziming asked happily seeing Guo Jia's composure.

"Everything is under control. Now Yuan Tan has established himself in Bingzhou. He no longer accepts Yuan Shang's rule. He has taken over Bingzhou as herdsman. He appointed Chunyu Qiong as the general and commanded the Bingzhou army. Yuan Shang was furious and prepared to send troops to attack Yuan Tan. Tian Feng and others persuaded him temporarily, but Yuan Shang intends to send troops to merge the state, and he has already ordered General Wen Chou to make preparations.

According to a secret report, Yuan Shang plans to send troops to attack Yuan Tan in the spring of next year, and Yuan Tan is not afraid of Yuan Shang. Now Yuan Tan has 20 troops in Bingzhou and many generals. "

Guo Jia came to the map, pointed at Jizhou and Bingzhou, and told Chen Ziming about the mobilization of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's army.

"Oh, what strategy did Feng Xiao use to make the Yuan brothers turn against each other in such a short period of time?" Chen Ziming looked at Guo Jia in confusion. Guo Jia was planning all the affairs in Hebei, and Chen Ziming did not participate too much. Do not really understand.

"I would do such an inhumane thing. The two Yuan brothers turned against each other. I did not obstruct it. It was all due to Cao Cao. Cao Cao couldn't wait to take over Hebei, so he sent people to spread rumors in Bingzhou that Yuan Shang wanted to kill him. He captured Yuan Tan, took control of Bingzhou with his own hands, and sent people to pretend to be Yuan Tan diners, and went to Yecheng to assassinate Yuan Shang. He did not kill Yuan Shang, but killed Yuan Shang's most beloved concubine.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang didn't trust each other for a long time, and Cao Cao made such a move. They didn't listen to the persuasion of their counselors at all, and insisted on going their own way, mobilizing an army and preparing to go to war.

In fact, both of them wanted to control the land of the two states, and each had their own ambitions, so they both deliberately ignored the brotherhood." Guo Jia briefly narrated the Yuan brothers' rebellion.
