The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 546 Busy Again
"Shi Tao's political achievements are completely enough to promote his position. Why is he still a county magistrate? It seems that the atmosphere in the officialdom is still very bad." According to the data, Shi Tao has managed Yangle County well and is very capable.

However, the Liu Bei Group expanded rapidly and needed a large number of officials. Many officials were promoted exceptionally. As long as they were capable, regardless of their provenance or seniority, and kept everything simple, this Shi Tao could at least be a county magistrate, or even a higher official position.

"There are still too few people who are not afraid of power, and the influence of the clan is still great." Chen Ziming shook his head, and it was easy to figure out why Shi Tao couldn't get a promotion. It was all because he was afraid of offending Chen Ziming, a powerful official.

But Chen Ziming didn't say much, he just found an opportunity to remind Liu Bei that Shi Tao is a great talent and cannot be buried. As for the Chen family in western Liaoning, it's better to be a small local clan obediently.

Chen Ziming asked people to return all the things sent by the Chen family. At the same time, he wrote a thank you letter to Shi Tao. The meaning is self-evident. Don't care about him. All are treated equally.

This kind of thing is not a big deal for Chen Ziming, after he arranges it casually, he continues to hang out with his two beautiful wives. It is rare to have a leisurely time, which cannot be wasted.

It's a pity that things backfired. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came when they were just about to develop a relationship with the second daughter.

Chen Ziming was helpless, he could avoid seeing other people, but with Zhang Fei's loud voice, Chen Ziming's ears were buzzing before he entered the door. If Zhang Fei didn't see him today, the family might not be peaceful.

When Chen Ziming heard the intentions of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he was speechless for a while, but Liu Bei was a quick learner. Chen Ziming's favorite thing to do was to leave things to others, and just lay down and make arrangements for himself.

But now Liu Bei has also learned, throwing the matter to Chen Ziming, and Chen Ziming still can't refuse, so Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are talking about big things, and only he can really grasp the strength.

Equipment has always been one of the things that Chen Ziming is most concerned about. The strength of the army's combat power is directly linked to the equipment. If you want to reduce casualties, you must strengthen the equipment. Liu Bei Group has done a good job in this regard.

Liu Beijun's equipment can be called the best in the world, or the world's first. Under the influence of Chen Ziming, Liu Beijun's equipment is far beyond this era. It is very advanced and its technology has grown very fast.

This is also the basis for Liu Bei's army to be able to overwhelm the heroes, and now Guan Yu said that the weapon factory, that is, the arsenal established in Youzhou, has developed more sophisticated weapons and equipment, and there are many very powerful siege weapons, which made Chen Ziming's eyes brighten .

What the big man lacks most now is population, especially the young and strong. The gap is too big. Chen Ziming has never dared to start a war against Cao Cao and Sun Quan. He is afraid that after a big battle, the young and strong of the big man will be lost.

Now that there is an opportunity to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and improve their life-saving ability, Chen Ziming will certainly not let it go. Even if the decisive battle is postponed, Chen Ziming must give priority to strengthening the combat effectiveness of Liu Bei's army. This is what he and Liu Bei, and even the ministers in the court. Different, the life of the soldiers is the first.

"I want to see those weapons and armor in person, and then make a decision."

Chen Ziming didn't dare to make a hasty decision. If he was really as strong as Guan Yu said, he would of course change his army's outfits, but it was not that good. There was no need to waste limited military expenditures, and it couldn't affect the time for the great cause of unification.

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard Chen Ziming's decision, they went back to arrange work so that they could go to Youzhou with Chen Ziming, but Chen Ziming had to stop his vacation and go to Liu Bei's place. This matter had to be discussed with Liu Bei.

"It doesn't matter if Yide is messing around, how can Yun Chang be so ignorant."

Hearing Chen Ziming's reason for coming, Liu Bei shook his head helplessly. He had already ordered the two of them to go to Chen Ziming in a few days, but after only two days, the two went to Chen Ziming, making them angry for a while.

"Hehe, big brother, don't get angry." Chen Ziming shook his head indifferently and said, "The world is not in peace, and I can take time to enjoy the blessings, and this matter should be the third brother who forced the second brother to come to me."

"Hey, this Yide." Liu Bei also felt that Zhang Fei should have done it, and Liu Bei also felt helpless about it.

Chen Ziming didn't bother with this topic, and said, "Brother, I'm going to go to Youzhou to see for myself the weapons they developed. If it's what the second brother said, it can be reused."

"But money is limited." Liu Bei heard Chen Ziming's words and knew that Chen Ziming also planned to change his armor.

Chen Ziming hesitated for a while, and then said: "I'll figure out how to deal with the money."

Then Chen Ziming and Liu Bei mentioned the matter of the Chen family in western Liaoning, and bluntly said that he has no feelings for the Chen family, so there is no need to worry about it.

"Shi Tao is a great talent, he should be reused, and he should not be buried."

The point is Shi Tao, such talents cannot be buried. Although they are not as good as Zhuge Liang and other perverts, they are still top-notch talents. Even in the Three Kingdoms period, there were not many such talents.

"This person is really talented, he should use it." Since Chen Ziming said he was a talent, then this Shi Tao is definitely not simple, and because Shi Tao is not afraid of power, he is enough to be reused by Liu Bei.

Chen Ziming and Liu Bei discussed for a while, then Zhang Fei dragged Guan Yu and rushed towards Liu Bei's anger, and they were scolded by Liu Bei, especially Zhang Fei, who didn't dare to breathe, Zhang Fei was not afraid of anything, I'm afraid Liu Bei will be angry.

Chen Ziming didn't bother to persuade them. There was no need to say anything about the feelings of the three brothers. After Liu Bei scolded for a while, seeing that Guan Yu was still indifferent, Zhang Fei buried his head and said nothing. As soon as he left Liu Bei, Zhang Fei flew up again. He was so active that Guan Yu couldn't hold it down.

"Today I will rest in Dao Linqu for one night, and tomorrow morning I will take a boat to Youzhou." Guan Yu began to arrange the itinerary. He has been fighting abroad all year round, and he has become accustomed to life in the army. .

After more than ten years of military life, Chen Ziming no longer had the tenderness and frailty of the past. Although his horse riding skills were not as good as Guan Yu and other fierce generals, they were not bad, at least they would not become a drag.

From Linqu in Linzi, it would take at least three days to take a carriage, but they rode horses and galloped all the way, and arrived at Linqu Military Port that night. Chen Ziming was used to long journeys. Although he felt tired, he did not feel sore all over his body.

Chen Ziming, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were going to Youzhou by boat, and the navy arranged for the warship overnight to conduct inspections. On the second day, the three of them boarded the prepared warship with a team of guards, and the navy also sent two ships of the same level. For the battleship escort, Chen Ziming and others' safety comes first.
