"Oh, I saw that the people had nothing to do, so I asked them to pick out arrow shafts and knife hilts. After picking out an arrow that could be used as a training arrow, I gave them two or three cents. Then they picked up a lot. The forests around Yecheng let them One piece was gone." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "But because the wood of those trees was good, we paid five cents for it and could use it on the battlefield." If the arrow shaft is made of bamboo, the quality is really bad. In "Kaogong Ji", it is emphasized that the dry wood should be eucalyptus at the top, followed by eucalyptus, oak tree, etc., and bamboo at the bottom. To put it simply, the stronger the wood, the better, the better the material, and the less likely it is to break. Yecheng is in the north, and there are many natural forests around it. The Chinese have developed things like arrow shaft straighteners in the Stone Age. Although the technology has been lost several times, there are official records and a template will be sent to them. People can do it themselves with stones. Officials provide work during leisure time. Anyway, Chen Xi's consistent thinking mode is that people who have no work are more likely to be unruly than those who have work. I will give you work and money, but don't make trouble for me. Just stay at home and make trouble. You can make money by doing it, whether you do it or not, don't make trouble for me. Although there are still some unscrupulous people, when there is nothing to do, the official will release unlimited lists of people to find people to work for and pay them back, so of course they will do it, and the unscrupulous people will also have to eat! So in the past two years, the people of Yecheng were stuck in the forest all day long. They would plow up trees when they had nothing to do. They would cut down an ancient tree that was hundreds of years old and take it back. One winter, they would start plowing it out if nothing happened. After plowing it out, they would straighten it with a bow and arrow. I started working on it, and when I had enough 200 pieces, I quickly went to the official to exchange for supplies. Because the extracted arrow shafts need to be soaked in tung oil, which is officially controlled, and if the extracted straight arrow shafts are lost for a long time, they may become crooked, so these people hurriedly carried them to the treasury after removing them. , they don¡¯t need to take care of the rest of the work. As for why we exchange supplies instead of taking money, because official supplies are cheaper than supplies bought with money on the market, there is nothing to say about this. The supplies are produced by ourselves, and the market price and production price are completely different things. Of course Chen Xi will The subject is cheaper than the market price. As for whether it is cheaper than the market price, will the Chamber of Commerce think that the government is unfair competition or something like that? Chen Xi has always been very generous. If you think there is a problem, come and sue me. It¡¯s not like I didn¡¯t file a lawsuit against you. official power. However, until Chen Xi moved away from Yecheng, no businessman came over and said that he wanted to sue Chen Xi for unfair competition. How courageous! But that was two years ago. Later, I don¡¯t know which bitch used a new skill. Chen Xi wanted to beat the guy who used the skill to death. "But that was only the past two years. In the past two years, they started to plant ash saplings by themselves and stopped making knife handles. They grew very fast. In the second year, they peeled them off, whittled them, and polished them to make arrow shafts" Chen Xi said very unhappily that the wisdom of the people is always not used where it should be used. It seems that no one is in the business of knife handles, because since someone started planting ash trees on a large scale, and then raised them twice and turned them in in exchange for supplies, the cost of making knife handles has been completely exhausted. Planting ash trees, Chen Xi said This made him very unhappy, so the price of arrow shafts dropped to three cents. However, even so, this group of people still planted ash trees and harvested arrow shafts the next year. After all, it was highly efficient and low-cost. There was nothing more to say later. Chen Xi waved his hand and threw the arrows back for recycling after being used once. Ku, I can use as much as you can produce. "Oh, no wonder, I just asked why there are so many arrows in stock. You made all the arrow shafts into arrows and stored them." Liu Bei touched his chin to express his understanding. "Well, I'm thinking about shrinking the scale next year. We can't go on like this. These guys don't farm well and have started planting trees. I'm going to balance it out and reduce the scale of the industry starting next year. The output will be reduced to about one billion. I can't. Let those people mess around." Chen Xi waved his hands and said, once anything can make money, people will flock to it in large numbers. "Have you finished producing so much?" Cao Cao couldn't help but ask. "Okay, looking at the current situation on the battlefield, we are at a disadvantage in the archery corps. If we invest some arrows, we will pay for it as tuition." Chen Xi waved his hand and said indifferently. "What about the extra people among the people who went back to plant trees?" Liu Bei asked curiously. "Give them a deposit, indicating that we will harvest those trees in two years and let them continue to plant them. Then we will let them pull them into white wax poles and recycle them to make gun shafts." Chen Xi had already thought about how to deal with this group of people. Although they are just a group of people who follow the trend, we can't really let those people eat dirt. They are all the people under their own rule. "It is estimated that there will be hundreds of thousands of arrows by then." Huangfu Song asked with a little curiosity. He finally understood that Chen Xi took the loss of arrows so lightly. This clearly meant that the production exceeded?Several times the size. "A hundred thousand?" Chen Xi rolled his eyes, "What the hell if you don't get a million by then? As long as you can still get money for growing this thing, these people will still grow it, and as long as you don't have a limit, other people will What you plant will be credited to your own family, and you will get a share of the intermediary money." Huangfusong looked at Chen Xi speechlessly, and after a while, he said, "Your management method is too lax, and you will not be able to deal with such unruly people. Just take care of each other and come here a few times. " "Old man, just look at your image, train your soldiers, and join your battles. Don't worry about this kind of thing." Chen Xi glanced at Huangfu Song and said. He waved his hand and said. Huangfusong¡¯s chest trembled twice, and then he said nothing. "Let's get used to it. The government keeps its word. Even if we suffer losses, if we let things go, we will still suffer the losses." Chen Xi said in a majestic and upright tone. Xun Yu on the side rolled his eyes. Do you, Chen Xi, have the nerve to say you suffered a loss? Did you give out a copper? There are net profits and losses everywhere. We still believe what others say, but you say, shut up. "Forget it, forget it, it's meaningless to talk about this kind of thing. Play the video, play the video. I basically just slept through the dreams before. I didn't pay much attention to the overall situation. I just have time to take a look this time. That's fine." Chen Xi half-heartedly revealed what had happened before. Seeing Chen Xi like this, Li You looked at the others, and when Liu Bei and others nodded, he asked Nandou to continue playing the video. As soon as the Yellow River crossing passed, Han Xin unified hundreds of thousands of elite troops under Li You's command, killed the thorns among them, and reorganized the troops. After reorganizing them, the military strength reached its peak in history. Of course, it was also thanks to Han Xin's command that The ability is strong enough to control hundreds of thousands of troops. For a time, after Han Xin crossed the Yellow River, his momentum was soaring into the sky, and then he raised his army and rushed straight to Yecheng, regardless of the enemies rushing to block him from other aspects. "There must be an army of 500,000 people." Cao Cao muttered to himself as he looked at the unidentified general in the video. To be honest, this is the first time Cao Cao has seen someone who can command an army of 500,000 people. Like tens of thousands of horses, this is not scientific at all. "The army of 560,000 has a complete range of arms and is extremely well-equipped. After the equipment change is completed, it can match the commanding ability of the opponent. It can be regarded as the strongest military force in history." Li You nodded to Cao Cao. After that, he gave a very accurate answer. "Sun Wu and Han Bai are afraid that this is all." Cao Cao looked at the commander and said in admiration, "It is completely impossible to win this battle. Even the fortifications of Yecheng cannot stop the opponent's military power. "The other party's command is completely different from ours." "Theoretically, it is impossible to win. In fact, we lost, but it is completely different from what Cao Sikong expected. You will know when you look down." After Cao Cao gave a positive answer, he naturally changed the topic, and upon hearing this, Cao Cao immediately focused his attention on the image. Speaking of which, the Battle of Yecheng in the video was the real turning point. If Li You hadn't prepared his trump card early, as Cao Cao said, it would have been impossible to win this battle because the gap between the two sides was too big. , Han Xin at this time can be said to be at his well-deserved peak, and he indeed has the foundation to support war through war. But how should I put it, well, the main reason is that Han Xin is too strong. It is said that Han Xin was among the 560,000-strong army composed of his own army and the previously unified prisoners. Due to Liu Bei's presence, more than 10,000 middle- and low-level leaders among the more than 500,000-strong army were facing difficulties. After arriving at Liu Bei, he turned around on the spot and was willing to march forward for the king. However, the scary thing is this. Facing the chaos caused by Liu Bei, Han Xin still had the strength to maintain the battle situation and successfully escape. With his backhand, he was able to defeat the 60,000 troops who were killed in the four fields. All he can say is "Sun Wu Han Bai is the sage of war." Cao Cao was dumbfounded as he watched Liu Bei wearing golden armor, with Chen Dao and Xu Chu guarding him fiercely, leading the charge into the enemy formation, and then directly counterattacked from the other side. "It's Mr. Xuande!" The silent image suddenly had sound. It seemed that Nan Dou had equipped the image with a sound playback function at the right time. "How can the sword face the lord!" He shouted loudly, turned around on the spot, and then directly ordered dozens of people under his command to turn around. Soon the effect of Liu Bei's appearance appeared. On the spot, most of Han Xin's army rebelled, and Some of Han Xin's soldiers were coerced and rebelled. They had no choice but to mix it up Chen Xi and Liu Bei looked at each other and turned their heads in embarrassment at the same time. This was really embarrassing. Although both of them knew that if this thing really happened on the battlefield, there would be nothing to say. This is the reality and no one can stop it. Liu Bei now knows 13,400 middle and low-level generals. To put it simply??Liu Bei, the leader of the team, can basically recognize all the uncles. There are even some of them that are very long. In this case, Han Xin's mixed army is seeking death. After all, the only way to reorganize the army in ancient times is to replace all the centurions. In fact, it is impossible for all the centurions to be replaced, and You can recognize Liu Bei's company commander, how could you finish changing them? Therefore, the battle in Yecheng was just a joke at the beginning. Liu Bei rushed up, and then the favorability of the hostile forces was brushed from hatred to friendship on the spot. Then as Liu Bei advanced and confirmed his identity, it quickly turned into respect. And then directly entered the worship, and then needless to say, Han Xin directly lost the ability to control this group of people, and the entire army's command system almost collapsed. Fortunately, Han Xin was strong enough and managed to contain it, but he realized that the situation was not good. , quickly extracted his subordinates from various ministries and gathered them together. To be honest, this means that Han Xin is strong enough to drag most of his subordinates out of the rebel army. If it were someone else, they would have been hijacked by the rebel army and then hacked to death. However, even so, Han Xin will After reluctantly extracting it, he also lost a lot of men and horses. After that, Han Xin was ready to give in and retreat without saying a word. As a result, the way back was blocked by the ambush and ambush prepared by Li You. Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Han Xin directly came to a desperate situation to survive. The army suppressed them quickly and turned around, knocking all the ambush soldiers behind them to the ground. By the way, this is the closest battle between Li You and Han Xin since the Thirteen States deduced the battle situation, 140,000 to 110,000. Well, Li You suffered a loss of 140,000 and Han Xin lost 11. Wan, so Li You was chasing Han Xin. Because after Han Xin was ambushed in the battle at Yecheng, although he fought amazingly and admirably, the heavy losses prevented Han Xin from being able to replenish enough youth in a short period of time. For Li You's loss, the outcome was already determined. "This is the second battle. There is nothing to say in the first half. It mainly depends on the support of the lord. The second half is mainly for you to watch." Li You coughed twice and focused the attention of others. Then he spoke. "Yes, yes, just watch the second half." Liu Bei quickly agreed, it was too embarrassing to look at his own performance. "I'm very interested in the first half." Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei suspiciously, "Xuande, how many people can you know?" "Eight thousand? Ten thousand? Fifteen thousand" Liu Bei said with a smile. "Are they all military officers?" Cao Cao asked with a dark face. He discovered a blind spot. Liu Bei didn't seem to have so many middle- and low-level generals. "Ahem, cough, cough, I usually don't care about Zichuan and the others. I just need to recognize some generals." Liu Bei said that he only has so much ability, so please don't ask more questions. "Are you touching someone under my command?" Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei with a dark face and said. "No, I only touched the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty." Liu Bei said with a solemn face. When Cao Cao heard this, his blood vessels bulged, which was more serious than ever before. Liu Bei was so anxious that he quickly called the guards, "Quickly tell Doctor Hua, Cao Sikong's blood vessels are about to burst. He meets Doctor Hua's standards and can open his head!" Cao Cao heard this. , his eyes were double-imaged, and he fainted directly with his heart racing!
