The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 19 Talking about the inside story of the transaction in Jiaozhou

Shi Wu was really taken aback. He knew that bronze weapons were sharp and stronger than ordinary standard weapons in terms of hardness, but also their toughness was not strong. As long as they were hacked a few times, it would not only pop out a gap, but It is directly broken in half.

If it is an iron weapon, at most there will be a gap, or a bit of curling edge, and it can still be used, but the bronze sword is useless.Therefore, it has become the consensus of the world to use iron weapons as the main weapon and armor, not only in terms of cost, but also in terms of practicality.

The problem is that the bronze sword in Shiwu's hand at the moment has subverted his perception of bronze wares.

"Uncle Clan, are you okay now? I have tested these weapons, and I would not allow them to use them if they were not exceptional!" Shi Hui said proudly, although it was the first time he knew that the bronze weapon It's so awesome.

"If that's the case, let them do as they please!" Shi Wu coughed lightly, then returned the weapon.At the same time, he looked at Shi Hui secretly, his eyes seemed to say: Since you know, why didn't you tell me in advance.

After a pause, he looked at Shi Hui and asked, "Does their village still sell such weapons and armor?"

"For sale, it's just that we don't trade with anyone other than our friends!" The sword and shield soldier in charge nodded and shook his head again.

"What's the price?" Shi Wu looked at Shi Hui. Since his nephew had already traded, everything was easy to talk about.

"I traded directly with grain..." Shi Hui shook his head. He kept half of the grain. Shi Xie knew this, and Shi Wu should know it too.

"We don't have that much food in our hands!" Shi Wu looked at Shi Hui, "If it's of this quality, how about a set of armor that costs two pennies, and a ring sword that costs one penny?"

Shi's family is not too short of money, but needs time to schedule.If the quality of the bronze weapons and armor can be guaranteed, then it is absolutely possible to buy a batch and use it as the armament of the core combat force.Of course, it is mainly used to arm the troops under the badge.

"It's useless for us to ask for money, we need iron ore! How about 30 catties of iron ore for a ring sword and a copper-inlaid shield, and 50 catties of iron ore for a set of armor?" Shi Hui secretly made a look, the knife The shield soldier stepped forward and said.

According to the price, recruiting a sword and shield soldier requires 2 units of iron ore, which is actually 20 catties of iron ore, including the sword, shield and armor.However, according to the quotation of this sword and shield soldier, a set of weapons needs 80 catties and 8 units of iron ore.

The 600% profit is enough to make Shi Hui forget the economic loss caused by the transaction to the Shi family.

"Just iron ore?" Shiwu's brows loosened a little. Although the big man practiced salt and iron monopoly, in the past two or three decades, this system has been useless.As far as Shijia is concerned, there are many saltworks and iron mines in Jiaozhou.

"The same value of wood, stone and food is also available, but it is mainly iron ore! There are too many other transactions, and the exchange price will increase appropriately!" The leader of the sword and shield soldier replied.

"Well, prepare five hundred...one thousand sets of such weapons and armor, and the iron ore will give them later!" Shi Wu nodded, proposing a transaction.Iron ore is much cheaper than copper ore, and with the quality of these weapons, it's a good deal.

Originally, Shiwu was even ready to be slaughtered. After all, it was for his nephew, and if he lost a little, he would lose a little.Now it seems that they have made money instead, but it is a pity that one set of this thing is missing, it is difficult to repair, and there is also a lack of replacement weapons and armor.

Shiwu wants to buy a thousand sets at a time, so he may not have plans to use them as replacement weapons.

The price was negotiated, and the sword and shield soldiers said that it would take one night to negotiate with the people in the village. At the same time, it would take one day to mobilize weapons and armor. The key is to build a hundred sets and make up a thousand sets.Shi Wu heard that it didn't make sense, and he was very satisfied with this speed.

"Are there any generals for these 300 people?" After solving the problem of bronze wares, Shi Wu asked Shi Hui about the military establishment.

"The corps chief and the chief officer have been selected, but the team leader and generals have not yet been arranged. I mean, arrange a few families to be in charge in the future!" Shi Hui said his thoughts. In fact, this is also necessary. These knives Shield soldiers are just soldiers, and they don't have any military knowledge. If they don't have this ability above the team rate, they will easily go wrong.

"Yes, this is very good! Let's get together another 200 people and transfer them to your command as personal guards! As for the Marquis, how about I transfer Shi Yuan to your command?" Shi Wu thought for a while and proposed.

"Shi Yuan? Oh, Shi Yuan!" Shi Hui was taken aback when he heard the words, and then recalled that Shi Wu's son was named Shi Yuan.The surname, the first name, and the table characters are the same.Counting as his brother, he had already enlisted in the army the year before last.

It's a pity it's not that Shi Yuan, Shi Hui said with emotion in his heart.Thinking about it carefully, that Pang Shiyuan seems to be a child, right? !

"Why, what's the problem?" Shi Wu saw Shi Hui's psychological changes, so he asked further.

"It's nothing, it's just that Brother Yuan has been in the army for too long, and he hardly goes home, and he hasn't seen him a few times." Shi Hui replied with a little embarrassment. He is practicing martial arts and soldiers every day, and rarely shows up.

At that time, he had just crossed over and was so busy with the system that he forgot about Shi Yuan, his clan brother.In my memory, Shi Yuan was a refined man, with more civility than martial arts. Shi Hui even suspected that he would follow the route of a civil servant, but who knew he would join the army resolutely and practice martial arts hard.

Not long after, Shi Yuan came with two hundred soldiers, each of whom was trained under intensive training.Their expenses are also huge, the key is that the warriors personally contribute money to supplement the food, in order to maintain this intensity of training.

"Shiyuan, from now on you will be transferred to Shihui's command and serve as the personal guard Qu Junhou!" Shiwu directly issued an order, even if it was his own son, Shiwu would not show any affection in the army, nor did he give him anything good face.

Only the Shi badge has special treatment on it.There are not many people in Shijia who are suitable for practicing martial arts, and Shi Hui is an exception, so it is naturally more precious.The old people of the previous generation have long seen the signs of the coming troubled times, but they can only use their words and pens to command troops and fight, but they are not good at it at all.

Even Shi Yuan has been training for two years, but he is indeed not the material to be a fierce general, so he is suitable for commanding troops in the center.

"Yes!" Shi Yuan had no objection, but frowned inadvertently, but was still caught by Shi Hui.Obviously, even if the military order is difficult, he still resists the idea of ​​being transferred to Shihui's command and serving as the personal guard Qu Junhou.

"Okay, you guys are ready to get ready, try to get the troops in order today, and go out tomorrow! It is expected that we will finish negotiating with them tomorrow, and we have agreed to fight the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!" Shi Wu is now solemnly announcing the order to go out.

negotiate?Negotiate what?Shi Hui thought it was a bit strange, the two armies were at war, and they used everything to their advantage, but what the hell was negotiating and agreeing on the time of the battle?Suddenly, Shi Hui felt that he was a little out of tune with this era, and felt that his impression of the Three Kingdoms began to show signs of collapse!

The soldiers were not talking nonsense, Yang Xiong and Cen Xi were also hurrying up to train their troops.Shi Yuan took the other three generals and joined the sword and shield soldiers. Like Shi Wu, when he first saw the bronze wares, he was somewhat disdainful.But after learning the power of these weapons, his expression suddenly became serious.

The real practice is even more amazing. These sword and shield soldiers are very good at basic formation and obedience to military orders. It can be seen that they have reached the level of a regular army and do not need additional training at all.

"Brother Hui, how long have you been training these soldiers? At least one year younger!" Shi Yuan found Shi Hui and asked.

"Brother Yuan, don't believe it! They used to live in the village. I found them by chance, and then recruited food. They recruited 300 people in one go. Once recruited, they were like this. I haven't even trained !” Of course, Shi Hui would not say that they were trained in the system barracks for two hours.

And if it is counted by a single person, a qualified regular army only needs 50 seconds of training time!What was consumed was only [-] catties of iron and [-] catties of grain. If one really followed the normal training, after a year of junior high school, the grain consumed and the weapons equipped would definitely be higher than this amount.

When Shi Yuan heard this, he immediately attributed the 300 people to the fact that they had been trained in the village, and did not pursue the matter any further.This is also good, to be able to enter the battle immediately, all that is needed is a simple break-in.As a result, as soon as they assembled for practice, it was his soldiers who performed slightly worse and were immediately hit hard.

The final adjustments are mainly about the battle formation and the running-in of instructions, and there will be no intense physical training.At the same time, the food will be increased to three meals a day, and even meat will be eaten.Sleeping time will also be advanced, the purpose is to nourish the spirit.

Shi Hui couldn't go home, at least he wasn't allowed to go home after the war.At the same time, as soon as the training was over, Shi Wu called him over.

"You should be very surprised, why do we need to agree on a time to fight with the other party?" Shi Wu raised his head and said to him as soon as Shi Hui took his seat. He had noticed when the announcement was made before, and Shi Hui showed a blank expression.

"It's really strange... Generally, there is no need to be so red tape to start a war?" Shi Hui also expressed his doubts.

"Did you watch "Spring and Autumn" recently for nothing?" Shi Wu asked casually.

"Of course my nephew knows that this is the battle mode of the various countries in the Spring and Autumn Period. In fact, there will even be situations where the attacked party will reward the attacker in advance..." Shi Hui returned. In the Spring and Autumn Period, everyone was fighting for Overlords, in the final analysis, are relatives, similar to medieval Europe, but with more etiquette and rules.

Because they are relatives, there are many cases of destroying the country and restoring the country, and the whole war is like a joke.Finally, in the Warring States period, Zhao, Qin, South Korea, Wei, Qi, and Chu were no longer descendants of the Zhou family. This is the real competition for the world!

The problem is, it is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, not the Spring and Autumn Period!

"In Jiaozhou, and even in the Nanzhong area, there are still many villages that adhere to the rules of the Spring and Autumn Period. Then, do you understand? We are fighting this time in the Spring and Autumn Period. We agree on a time and place, and then arrange troops Arrange for battle.

If we win, then they will compromise.If we lose, we only need to pay some compensation and supplies, and then we will fight at an agreed time and place later!In the two villages with more serious resistance, one is that they feel that they are strong and strong, and they want to get some benefits, and the other is that they intend to test the bottom line of our scholars! " Shi Wu explained.

In the end, even if you know that you don't need to pay a terrible price if you lose, so you don't care about provocation.

"Wouldn't it be better to just kill them?" Shi Hui just thought it was too troublesome.

"Destroy? How many Yue people and barbarians are here? They all live in the mountains, how should we destroy them? If we get them to unite and deal with us together, how much energy will we have to spend on this?
Don't look at them as a mess, if they really start a full-scale war, they will definitely unite to deal with us Han people. After all, in their eyes, we are the 'outsiders'.At this moment, our scholars can rule here only because we are 'more powerful'. " Shi Wu said solemnly.
