    ps: I have been very distressed recently. People scolded me no matter how I wrote it. When I wrote about Cao Shi¡¯s daily farming, my friends criticized me for being too boring and refused to reward me. When I wanted to write a regular plot involving the Xiongnu Western Region, I was immediately scolded by many people for being biased. I didn¡¯t even subscribe.  Awesome, after being persuaded by many friends today, I finally figured it out. The story must follow the plot after all, and it can't go on day-to-day forever, so I will soon enter the plot, which must at least fit in with the introduction of the book.  ¡ª{2}{3}{w}{x}]Three updates today!  The characteristic of heavy cavalry is that both men and horses are armored and equipped with armor and riding gear. The investment of 8,000 heavy cavalry is very amazing. Even if they wear without goggles, they must use rivets to fix the reduced weight of the Mingguang Armor, which must weigh at least 30 kilograms.  .  A set of horse armor is at least 20 pounds. Too heavy will affect the physical strength and impact speed of the war horse. In addition to the miscellaneous weapons and arrows and other carrying items, a horse needs to carry 220 pounds of things to charge quickly, which consumes horsepower.  is amazing.  Therefore, each heavy cavalry needs to be equipped with three horses, one as the main armored heavy horse, a group of war horses carrying weapons and supplies, and a group of mounts for daily riding. If conditions permit, it is best to equip each heavy cavalry.  Equipped with a chariot and several minions.  Mingguang armor is made of pig iron or medium carbon steel.  The cost of pig iron is very low. We only need to make simple adjustments to the carbon content of the wrought iron. At least the carbon content cannot be as high as 10%, or slightly lower. At least it cannot be smashed into pieces with a blunt instrument.  For any protective effect, boiling molten iron is poured into the mold and cast. The advantage of pig iron is low cost and high efficiency. It is not difficult to cast the semi-finished blades required for 100 sets of armors in one day.  At most, it is returned to the furnace for secondary heat treatment.  Then soak it in zinc solution to improve the anti-rust effect. The bright white color of zinc is like a mirror, which has a special whitening effect.  Just enough to remove the ugly gray and black color of pig iron.  The cost of 10 sets of medium carbon steel Mingguang armor per month is too high, and it takes a lot of time to forge just one set. Even if there is a hydraulic forging hammer to save labor, it is very troublesome. Medium carbon steel Mingguang armor is not suitable for large-scale installation, and is only suitable for urban areas.  Weared by senior officers at the rank of lieutenant or colonel.  The impact of the popularization of coal and the improvement in forging efficiency temporarily alleviated market demand, and more iron tools were made into curved shaft plows.  Agricultural tools such as sickles and hoes are used in farming and are made into shovels, hammers, chisels, axes and other tools for mining.  With the improvement of production efficiency, there is no shortage of pig iron for the time being. What is lacking is pure steel, especially medium-carbon steel and high-carbon steel, which are in extremely strong demand.  Just because the cost remains high, it cannot satisfy the market.  Liu Che asked for 8,000 heavy cavalry with just one mouthful.  He always means what he says.  Cao Shi couldn't control his stubborn temper, so he could only make a fuss about the cost of the armor. A set of medium-carbon steel Mingguang armor costs at least 1 million yuan. The reason why it is so expensive is because medium-carbon steel is very rare, and the cost price is at least  600,000 yuan, a set of pig iron Mingguang armor is worth no more than 50,000 yuan, and the cost is about 30,000 yuan, an absolute difference of 1:20.  Needless to say, the entire army must be equipped with cast iron armor.  Otherwise, a set of medium carbon steel armor plus a vest.  The cost is an astonishing 2 million yuan. 8,000 units is 16 billion yuan. It is definitely a crazy price. With the current profitability of Shaofu, it cannot make that much money in a year.  "Are you talking about cast iron armor? There is no problem with the defensive effect?" "After heat treatment to strengthen the surface hardness, there will definitely be no quality defects. Please rest assured." Liu Che was also intimidated by the figure of 160 yuan, and he did not even think about launching a new Chang'an plan.  How much money would it cost? The investment of 8,000 heavy cavalry part-time was an astronomical figure. Fortunately, there was still room for change. Cao Shi tactfully suggested that the model of mainly raw iron armor and supplemented by medium-carbon steel armor solved his face problem.  This year is not bad. The spring corn output in Guanzhong generally increased by more than 10%, and some counties saw an increase of more than 20%. This basically caught up with the grain production increase rate of 2,300 hectares in Pingyang Houfu. The 20% increase in grain production made Pingyanghoufu more  With an income of more than 100,000 shi in grain rent, the tenants under the Hou Mansion received the other half, more than 100,000 shi in grain.  Zooming in to the 75 counties in Guanzhong and 800 miles of Qinchuan, the total cultivated land area is 100 million acres (69.15 million city acres). Generally, the yield per mu has increased from more than 3 dan to a little more than 4 dan, and some fertile farmland has increased from 4 dan to more than 4 dan.  When the stone grows to more than 5 stone, the increase in grain yield per mu is astonishing.  The annual grain income cannot be calculated until the end of the autumn harvest. Judging from the current situation, it is conservatively estimated that the annual grain income increase will be no less than 30 million shi. An optimistic view may increase the income by 50 million shi, which means that from now on, Guanzhong will not need  No need to worry about the grain supply anymore, not only can the annual 4 million stone grain haul be avoided.  The surplus grain was traded on the Longxi Plateau. In addition to countless cattle and sheep, the Qiang people there also had countless salt and alkali products. They were also rich in horses, eagles, medicinal materials, furs and other products. It is said that the plateau beyond the Snow Mountains was deep  There are many Rong tribes here, and it is home to the roof of the world (the Himalayas) known as the Dabai Mountains, a pioneering area with huge potential. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?With the young master, and the relationship between brother-in-law and eldest brother-in-law, we sat in the map room and chatted openly about the world.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.  "The Queen Mother has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived! Princess Tao has arrived!" The Queen Mother walked in first, her eyes widened: "Che'er! Look what you are doing? Get up quickly!" "Che'er, you  You are so old, how can you sit on the floor like a child and still behave intimately with others? It is too frivolous and undermines the emperor's majesty!" Princess Guantao said sadly. ? ?Old crazy woman!  Liu Chezi quickly stood up and saluted as if nothing was wrong: "I didn't know that the emperor's grandmother and mother were coming, but the child was far away to greet them! Oh, it turns out it's aunt and you are here too. Che'er didn't pay attention just now. Why are you standing here?"  "In the crowd of maids?" Princess Tao was trembling with anger. She was clearly standing next to her mother, but this bastard said that he was inconspicuous among the maids, implying that he was just an old maid with yellow hair and gray hair.  The arrogant and cold treatment was extremely rude. Before the incident in Tangyi Hou Mansion a few months ago, the young emperor would never have dared to say such words.  "Che'erxiu's nonsense! Why don't you apologize to your Auntie Huang quickly!" "Yes! I just lied, please forgive me." I lied?  The co-author still told the truth, I should be an old palace maid!  Princess Guan Tao was so angry that she seemed very satisfied when she saw the Queen Mother Wang Dan smiling. She was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She regretted that she had mistakenly believed the lies of Wang Dan and her son. She should have gone to Cheng Ji in the first place.  , Mrs. Jia's son discussed a marriage, instead of taking into account Emperor Jing's personal preferences, he engaged a four-year-old boy from the Wang family. Her daughter was already 14 years old at the time and should be married.  The Empress Dowager was leaning on a cane to hide her sick look, and her cloudy eyes were looking ahead blankly: "Che'er, I want to ask you, do you still care about the lawless ministers? Let the young government produce cheap cloth and hit the market to drive down the price of cloth.  , How many weavers can't survive and have gathered outside Pingyang Garment Factory to protest. If we continue to let the people become disloyal, your inaction as an emperor will make your father uneasy in heaven." Liu Che's face was gloomy.  This is his first year in power as emperor. Even according to the age of the late emperor, he can continue to be emperor for 30 years. He has made remarkable achievements in his first year in power. The little emperor is very proud. He hates being  When people say that they are not qualified, they hate to hear that the late emperor is uneasy in heaven. However, a bunch of nasty people around him will often say this to him. If it doesn't work, just say it twice or three times. They are so bitter and heartbroken that they have to send him.  Hold down your hand to make him stop being a puppet.  Liu Che was very angry, and Cao Shi was even more angry.  What is lawlessness, what is alienation between the people and the people? I just wanted to smash his face to pieces.  "The Empress Dowager is serious. I have long expected the long-term decline in the price of cloth. At the beginning of the price reduction, I conducted an investigation. There are about 3,000 retail textile households in and outside Chang'an City. Their interests are harmed in exchange for the entire Guanzhong 100  Thousands of households have bought cheap cloth. I think this transaction is worthwhile and the people will not be disloyal. If you don't believe it, you can ask the residents of Chang'an whether they sympathize with the weavers for raising the price of cloth, or whether they just stand by and accept the low price of cloth.  Some people will choose the latter. "Princess Guantao shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, you still dare to confuse people with your lies and nonsense! Do you think we will still believe your tricks?"  "Your Highness Princess, it seems that your clothes were bought from my clothing workshop. Judging from the style, they should be this year's spring and summer fashion suits. A set of clothes costs 50,000 yuan, and you are wearing the clothes from my clothing workshop.  Are you qualified to call me nonsense? " Cao Shi sneered. Except for the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, all the nobles present were still wearing simple old-fashioned clothes. The daily clothes of Emperor Liu Che were all made by Pingyang Clothing Factory.  There are 120 sets of emperor's uniforms with the same basic colors and different styles throughout the year in summer, autumn and winter. It is difficult to notice that the emperor's uniforms always change without looking carefully.  The Queen Mother also wore a special phoenix robe made by Pingyang Clothing Factory. The Han court etiquette stipulated that the style and color of the phoenix robes of the Queen Mother, Queen and Princess were very different. The Queen Mother's clothes were of course specially made from the Shaofu workshop.  Production, this business is currently occupied by Pingyang Garment Factory. It is all due to Princess Yangxin Liu Huan's palace marketing. The Queen Mother used the humanoid signboard to advertise, and there was never a shortage of orders from the palace.  The two ladies who were ranked first in the world froze for a moment, and their momentum suddenly dropped.  Suddenly, Princess Tao¡¯s eyes changed: ¡°???Silk cloth and silk have always been secondary to money and are hard currency. In the pre-Qin era, it was common to use grain, rice, cloth, and silk as currency. The tradition of silk reeling and textile technology has lasted for thousands of years. If you suddenly destroy the entire supply chain, it will bring consequences to the weavers.  Serious disaster, have you ever thought about how many people would resent the imperial court?  You selfish, profit-seeking person!  " It seems that there is an expert behind the guidance. With her status, it is not unusual for someone to secretly make suggestions. There is Yuan Zhong in his Marquis Mansion, but he knows that there are no Zhang Zhong and Chen Zhong in other families. Liu Che made a sly look: "Young Mansion  How come I didn¡¯t know about this kind of thing?  Where did Aunt Huang get the news?  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
