Three Kingdoms: Starting War Strategy System

"Have you finished the printing module drawings I gave you? Liu Chen looked at the person in charge of the Forging Institute and asked.

The Forging Institute not only includes weapon forging, but also has many skilled craftsmen. They have contributed a lot to the establishment of the medical school and school. The official in charge looked excited. Said:"Your Highness, it has been built! This technique is really ingenious and can greatly reduce the effort of copying!"

Since Cai Lun improved the production of paper, writing materials are much lighter and more economical than the oracle bones, bamboo slips, inscriptions, silk books, etc.

But copying books is still very labor-intensive.

Printing began with the engraving printing of the Tang Dynasty , the movable type printing technology that Liu Chen asked them to create needed to be developed and perfected in the Song Dynasty. It can be said that Liu Chen made movable type printing hundreds of years ahead of schedule, and like sweet potatoes and potatoes, it reappeared in the late Han Dynasty!

After having movable type printing, The world's scholars and ordinary people will no longer have no books to read!

One book is not enough, so Liu Chen prints thousands of copies!

But the source of the books becomes a problem

"I will start printing from the library of my palace first, and then borrow books from aristocratic families from all over Changshan. I want to build the largest library in the world."

Liu Chen said with great pride.

As he spoke, Liu Chen suddenly felt pleasantly surprised.

If there were the largest library in the world and people could read books at will, then the world's scholars would gather in Changshan.

When the time comes, He can recruit outstanding talents naturally.

"No wonder there is no news from the [House of Internal Affairs]. I was recruiting troops at the beginning, but something happened. The [Military Camp] will have great effects after it is upgraded.

"If there is no reason, even if those advisors want to come, they can't save their face and must give a step and a reason."

The more Liu Chen thought about it, the more he felt like this.

"The 500,000 points spent on movable type printing are well worth it!"

Liu Chen's thoughts were as fast as lightning. The person in charge of the forging institute on the side nodded repeatedly and said:"I will go and take care of it immediately."

After saying that, he immediately withdrew.

Zhao Yun stepped forward and bowed his hands and said:

"Lord, you ordered me to inspect the city defenses in various counties in Changshan. I have completed all inspections. The reinforcement of the city walls, the construction of sentry towers and turrets are all proceeding in an orderly manner."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yun looked around. Now Changshan Medical College and School are open to recruit students, and there are many people around. He approached Liu Chen and whispered in Liu Chen's ear:

"My lord, the last general has sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou to personally supervise the army, and asked the soldiers to plant the sprouted sweet potatoes and potatoes. However, they did not occupy the fertile land, but plowed the fields and wasteland.……"

After sweet potato and potato discussed, they decided to keep this secret for the time being. The officers and men in the army naturally had no worries, and the doctors such as Hua Tuo were also tight-lipped.

In fact, in order to avoid the possibility of becoming a traitor, these famous doctors are also under the surveillance of the soldiers, and they must be on guard against others.

Liu Chen nodded with satisfaction and said:"Intensify your training during this period, and you must not relax. After a while, Zilong can lead his army to continue to conquer the Black Mountain Army."

This time Liu Chen did not have to go out personally and sit in the base camp. If Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and Wen Chou go out on their own, they will definitely succeed immediately!

Don’t let go of such a place where you can gain points, level up, and conduct actual combat training!

Zhao Yun hesitated and said:

"My lord, the last time we conquered the Black Mountain Army and the Yellow Turban Army, nearly 500,000 arrows were spent and tens of thousands of weapons were damaged. Now the forging yard is in dire need of iron tools and it is difficult to cast arrowheads. The general thinks that it may be difficult to go on an expedition in the short term!"

Liu Chen sighed, there is a shortage of iron again! Why is there still no trace of iron ore?! Changshan is indeed quite big, but it has been nearly a week.

"Lord, there is no need to worry, prospecting for minerals is not something that can be done in a day."

Zhao Yun obviously saw Liu Chen's worries and explained:"In addition to arrows, armor, weapons and other equipment reserves, I, Changshan, have already perfected them."

"Zilong, it’s not just arrows, this king also has other plans."

Liu Chen said with a little helplessness:"I want to make the war horse fully armed. Stirrups, horseshoes, saddles, war horse armor, etc. all need iron tools. Time is not waiting for me!"

Liu Chen remembered very clearly that the day when He Jin was killed by the eunuchs was August 25th, and Dong Zhuo entered the capital on August 28th. By then Luoyang was in chaos.

And now at the end of May, it was only a short time away from that time. Three or four months.

If you want to face Dong Zhuo's 200,000 Xiliang cavalry, Zhao Yun and the Four Court Pillars of Hebei, as well as an army of 100,000 are not enough.

If stirrups, horseshoes and saddles can be created, and equipped The overall strength of the entire army and cavalry has increased by at least 30%!

By then, the Xiliang cavalry will also kneel down and beg for mercy!

But until now, there is no sign of the iron mine, which makes Liu Chen consider whether to spend a lot of money to buy iron from outside!

"My lord, Yun does know about saddles, but what are stirrups and horseshoes?"Zhao Yun looked confused. He felt that he had been in the army for many years, but he was still ignorant!

"You will know then."

After thinking about it, Liu Chen made two preparations and said to Zhao Yun:"Help me contact the Wuji Zhen family. In addition to iron tools, we also need to continue to purchase war horses."

"Your Highness, there are more than 20,000 horses in the army now. Do you still need to continue to buy them?"Zhao Yun was a little stunned.

Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, except for some warlords in Liangzhou, Changshan King's cavalry was definitely one of the best in terms of the number of cavalry.

Mainly because there were no stirrups in the late Han Dynasty, so the cavalry's ability could not be fully utilized, so the main battle was still on foot. Mainly pawns, and a small number of elite cavalry troops!

"It is also necessary to increase the number to 50,000 horses, and to exchange for as many iron weapons as they need with grain."Liu Chen ordered.

The Wuji Zhen family is the future Zhen Mi's family. They are a famous family in Zhongshan Kingdom. They have a good grasp of the surrounding business affairs and have horse trading business with Xianbei and Wuhuan outside the Great Wall.

Zhen Mi's father died early, and now she is responsible for it. His mother, Zhang, is in charge of the family. Zhang is from Changshan, so Liu Chen often takes care of the Zhen family, and all such business is handled by the Zhen family.

"yes."

At such an important period, Zhao Yun needs to keep an eye on it in person.

Just a moment after Zhao Yun left, the official in charge of the forging institute hurried over and said with an angry expression:

"Your Highness, all the books in the royal palace have been transferred to the Forging Institute for printing.

But those wealthy families were unwilling to lend out the books. They said they were family heirlooms and no one could lend them out."

Liu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then his face became a little angry:"Even I, the king, can't borrow it?"

"Yes, it is."

The official in charge of the forging institute felt Liu Chen's anger, and said with some shared hatred:

"Those wealthy clans are so abominable. If it weren't for Your Highness, where would the peace and smoothness of Changshan come from? They would have been slaughtered by the Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain Army."

Liu Chen quickly suppressed his anger.

Since he inherited the title, he has been suppressing the aristocratic family, and there has been a conflict between the two.

But for disobeying his orders, Liu Chen was already ready to find a reason to deal with them.

Enjoying the peace and tranquility of the country and the people brought by his governance of Changshan, he dared to jump like this. He was simply seeking death!

At this moment, a voice drew Liu Chen's attention back

"Please let me know, officers and men, that I am Guangping Jushou, and this is my good friend Julu Tianfeng. I am here to pay my respects to His Highness King Changshan!"

Jushou! Tian Feng!

Liu Chen immediately looked sideways, his eyes sharp and surprised!

The counselor he had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared!
