Chapter 3760: Mass manufacturing

Li Feng nodded his head, but this nodded does not guarantee that Guishuang will not pass through Congling. In fact, this kind of is impossible, Congling’s terrain, find a mountain trail and don’t care about the time, anyway. Past.
Li's point is that even if Guishuang came in, there would be a mess in NSW. After all, Liangzhou people were ruthless by the captains of the counties when they had herbs, food, and meat. He has been practicing for several years, and he will not be black. Those soldiers who have gone out to fight wild food, and have done illegal occupations, can be regarded as pawns when they are drawn closer to Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
According to Li You’s suggestion, that is Liangzhou’s ten counties, each with 5,000 people, and Chen Xi currently does not completely divide Yong and Liang. Although there is a concept of Yongzhou, there is no history in Yongzhou. Liangzhou and Sili still remain one unit. , The people of Guanzhong and Liangzhou still maintain the dignity of warriors, and together they are called Yongliang.
Therefore, each of the ten counties has five thousand people, which means that the Chang'an Fu Treasury will get fifty thousand armors. The lining and long weapons do not need to be reissued. Each county has them. After preparing the horses and putting on a horse armor, This is the fifty-two sword Xiliang Iron Horse.
Therefore, Li You is not at all worried about Fuward coming in. With this configuration, even if Fuward does enter NSW, he will be slashed by the 50,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry. After all, this group now depends on the official food. As far as the soldiers are concerned, it is a very wonderful thing that someone gives meritorious service thousands of miles away.
"Five thousand horse armor, do you have it?" Liu Bei ran to fight with Yuan Shu and the others, probably the elephant bird is a type of chicken, and then Li You asked Chen Xi with his head sideways.
"Yes, but you have to wait for the spring to finish the maintenance and drying of the horse armor." Chen Xi nodded and said, "No one uses horse armor this year. They are all in the treasury. Or the nail is rusty."
"Send the equipment directly and let them take care of it by themselves." Li You waved his hand and said, "If you do less useless processes and make so many horse armors, you are also idle."
"That was not the time when the scale armor was being made. The hydraulic forging hammer produced a lot of iron pieces in one batch. Later you said that the scale armor was inferior to the plate armor. Then the forging room in Sanmenxia mainly made the plate armor." Chen Xi casually explained, " The extra iron pieces were taken to make horse armor."
Chen Xi didn't turn the corner at first, or it was because Chen Xi didn't use his brains at first. In the early production of armor, he used scale armor mainly because Li You didn't even know that Chen Xi was building a large waterwheel in a place where the Yellow River was rushing. Water conservancy forging hammer, and Chen Xi did not stare at it. Li You said that the scales are good, and Chen Xi placed a list of 400,000 scales.
This is the reason why Liu Bei's army was full of scales during the early military parade.
In fact, Li You said at the time that the reason for the good scale armor is that the scale armor is strong in defense, good flexibility, relatively light weight, and it is much better than leather armor, and more importantly, it saves iron.
However, at that time Chen Xi had already begun to lead his subordinates to build the earthen blast furnace, and the output of the earthen blast furnace for this era is simply against the sky, so the subsequent plan to produce scales was quickly stopped. The problem was semi-mechanical. Production line for iron armor pieces...
Chen Xi has produced iron armor pieces that are sufficient to arm millions of people. The back is equipped with plate armor. The production line has been redesigned. The production speed is faster and the defense is stronger. As long as the ergonomic design is reasonable and the shoulders are stressed, the plate armor is not only heavy. A little bit, completely beyond the scales.
So how to deal with this iron armor piece that is enough to arm millions of people is a big problem. After all, even if this thing is used as an inner lining, it is not as easy to use as leather armor, so it is very embarrassing. If it is rebuilt, the cost will increase. The fire consumption made Chen Xi feel that it was not cost-effective to start the furnace.
Fortunately, when he saw Zhang Jaw later, Chen Xi found a way out for hundreds of thousands of scale armors, plus hundreds of thousands of scale armors that had already been made.
Needless to say later, Chen Xi stocked up a horse armor in the Tibetan Hyogo of the northern state capital that was so large that it made people think that someone might have a certain problem in his mind.
"Let me ask, how many scaled armor pieces did you produce in the past?" Li You was silent for a while, "How do you feel that you have eliminated this thing since Yuanfeng years ago, and there are still so many eliminated until now, and I listen to it. It is said that there are still a lot of iron armor pieces in the treasury, which are all rusted."
After asking this question, Liu Ye and Lu Su hummed twice and looked at Chen Xi. The two of them knew very well, who let Chen Xi take care of Chen Xi and the other to help Chen Xi manage the ordnance.
"Well, didn't you say that the scale armor is easy to use? It's light, strong in defense, and good flexibility. It won't limit the performance of the soldiers." Chen Xi pondered for a moment and decided to throw the pot away. He really didn't want to admit that he made it. Approximately 150W human scale armor.
After all, there was no large-scale consumption of shipbuilding in the early days, only the consumption of farm tools and scaled weapons. Chen Xi built a lot with the idea that scales would be the future development direction.
"I just want to know how much you have built. I know you like to collect things. How many do you have? Seven hundred thousand?" Li You asked Chen Xi.
"One and a half million." Lu Su replied instead of Chen Xi on the side. "A total of scaly armor pieces enough to arm 1.5 million regular troops were manufactured, because during the Qingxu Yanzhou period, the processing plant in Zichuan only produced farm tools. , Weapons, and scale armor pieces."
Li You covered his forehead. He had a migraine. Shouldn't it be Chen Zichuan? Are you crazy? So many nails are produced, and it's not even easy to handle now.

"I didn't know it back then. You said that the scales are good. I asked someone to design the hydraulic forging hammer and the blast furnace, and after I arranged the scale of production for them, I didn't care about it." Chen Xi was also helpless, Qing Xu Yanzhou period It was when Chen Xi was the most diligent, good or bad, there were a lot of things, and there was really no extra time to take care of it when arranged.
"You two didn't care at the time?" Li You asked, looking at Lu Su and Liu Ye.
"At that time, we implemented a redundant official system. A corps was equipped with positive and negative hands to expand the army before the battle. We prepared for the regular army 300,000. When it was needed, it burst to 1 million in a short time, including the reserve. We really didn't think there was a problem with the Fuyu quota." Lu Su said with a sigh, "But didn't you change your equipment later?"
"Then you made close to one million plate armors in a short time?" Li You looked at Chen Xi and asked, "You are really capable!"
"My set of equipment itself is made of iron plates!" Chen Xi said with a black face, "You said you want scale armor, so I can make scale armor. The pieces of scale armor need to be hammered a lot."
That's right, for hydraulic forging hammers, it is easier to make plate armor than scale armor. Except for the first design, the efficiency will be greatly improved after the design is completed.
"How do you deal with these scales now?" Li You asked curiously.
"As a supplement to the position of the plate armour joints, etc., and the rest, those who don't want to be dismantled, are half sold and half given away to those guys in the country, and all the rest are made into horse armor." Chen Xi said blankly, "Anyway. The use of waste is a point."
"About half a million horse armors will be made?" Li You asked, looking at Chen Xi.
"An Xin, we will have a million horses sooner or later." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "Yuanfeng should have 700,000 horses in ten years or so, and sooner or later the horse armor will run out."
Li You looked at his hand, raised it, and gave Chen Xi a thumbs up.
"It's not a problem. Today, we have solved the part that might be blocked by the major families, and tomorrow will be the big pit." Chen Xi waved her hand and said, there is not too much to cover up. The principals of the major families didn't care if they listened to him. , Anyway, these people know what to say tomorrow.
"The problem tomorrow, everything needs to be done by major families." Lu Su sighed, and Yu Guang glanced at his father-in-law twice. Ji Zhong looked okay. He was not rejected by the major families. The big family also knows this kind of dangerous experiment.
"I've been finalizing these from today, and I'm going forward tomorrow, what else are they talking about? No one is making a ghost, what can I do if I don't know how to read." Chen Xi said angrily, "I want to teach ordinary people. Something, but I’m lack of skills, so I’m still realistic."
"Population first, education first, or economic structure adjustment first?" Zhuge Liang, who had not spoken, suddenly asked.
"Neither population nor education can be solved in a short time. First, economic restructuring. I have worked hard to gather the villages and settle down. Many problems have been solved, but there are still many problems that I can't bring. I think it can't work. The monarchy is under dictatorship." Chen Xi said with a sigh.
"We can only continue to sink and open up the village. Supply and marketing cooperatives are not the best choice, but now I don't even have any extra options. It's nothing!" Chen Xi mentioned this as a fire, and Mi Zhu was silent when he heard this. a lot of.
"Or else I will bring the top 20 wealthy businessmen together and have a good talk with them." After a while, Mi Zhu said with a sigh. It is impossible for all of their networks to penetrate all aspects of the country. The family can’t do it all together. After all, businessmen are pursuing profits.
Places with money to make money, of course, are crowded with merchants, and remote places where no money is made must be more realistic. With the current situation in the mainstream villages of the Han Dynasty, the shops of major merchants have opened up, let alone making money. It's not bad not to die.
At present, the mainstream villages of the Han Dynasty have a group of traveling merchants buying certain materials from these big merchants, and then selling them from the county town or county town to the villages.
Chen Xi has established a supply and marketing cooperative, and the things they sell are basically just-needed materials, and they are semi-official and semi-commercial. It doesn't matter whether you lose or lose. Don't be the kind that makes money. Anyway, there are places to make money to subsidize them and replace them with others If you come to do it, you will die, and it's a two-way street!
