The most powerful fool system

　Even though the [-] soldiers from Yiqu outside the city were coming fiercely, while in Gaonu City, there were only the original [-] ordinary county soldiers and the [-] cavalry of the Qin Army in Huang Zhong's hands.

　It was originally [-] cavalry, but in the previous battle with Yu Yu, they lost nearly [-] cavalry, and Ma Chao and Jia Xu took another [-] cavalry.

　Now Huang Zhong has only less than 670 cavalry of the Qin army that can fight, or [-] or [-] cavalry to be exact.

　In addition, there are five thousand young men temporarily recruited by the Gaonu County Captain, which basically constitutes the entire defense force in the entire Gaonu City.

　On Yi Li's side, there are [-] Yiqu cavalry, but half of these Yiqu cavalry under Yi Li's command are his confidants, and they are the most elite of the Northern Di Rong.

　It can be said that compared with Huang Zhong's troops, Yi Li has an absolute advantage in strength.

　Last time, it was a coincidence that Ma Chao and Huang Zhong were able to lead [-] cavalry of the Qin Army to defeat the remaining [-] Yiqu soldiers.

　At that time, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong led the army to attack suddenly, and Yu Yu didn't pay attention to them. He made a mistake in command, and Ma Chao and Huang Zhong took the lead bravely. With [-] cavalry, he was able to defeat Yu Yu in one battle.

　But now, Huang Zhong couldn't do it anymore.

　Fortunately, it was precisely because of the previous battle between Huang Zhong and Ma Chao.

　Breaking [-] to [-], beheading the enemy's main general, such a brilliant record directly made the defenders in Gaonu City boil, and greatly improved the morale of the Qin army in Gaonu City.

　Huang Zhong's confidence is not blind.

　At this time, the weather on Gaonu's side was cold, and the Qin army had the city wall as their backing. The morale of the generals in the city was high.

　The only thing that is not as good as Yi Qurong's side is the strength of the troops.

　However, Huang Zhong never believed that wars are won by more troops.

　This is a battle between the right time, the right place, and the absolute superiority of VS. It depends on the two sides that occupy these two conditions in the end, which side can win.

　"Come on, in this battle, I will personally behead the Xinyiqu king. What else can Ma Chao say when he sees it?"

　Huang Zhong's eyes flashed with a strong fighting intent, thinking in his heart.

　He was still brooding over the fact that he hadn't been able to cut off the remaining head himself in the previous battle.

　Thinking of beheading the Xinyiqu king with his own hands, he would be able to overwhelm Ma Chao.

Chapter 89 Integrating the Ordnance Bureau

　89 Integrated Ordnance Bureau

　[Please recommend for collection! 】

　Compared with the previous attack by Xiang Yu who led an army of 40, which put Daqin in danger of being destroyed, the Yiqu rebellion in the north this time, which disrupted the war in Shangjun, is nothing at all.

　Xu Feng will quell the Yiqu rebellion in the north, mainly relying on Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, so it is naturally impossible to personally lead the conquest.

　At the same time, while the battle in Shangjun was going on, the battle in Yongxian County in the west also started.

　Wang Yong and Li Shang, a general under Liu Bang's command, clashed in Yong County.

　Similarly, neither Liu Bang nor Zhang Liang participated in the battle in Yong County this time, because Liu Bang had more important things to do at this time.

　That is to go south to occupy the land of Shu. After all, he was named King of Han by Xiang Yu last month.

　In addition to the Hanzhong already occupied by him, he also got the land of Shu for nothing, so naturally he has to get it to rest assured.

　As for Yong County, Zhang Liang also knew very well that the Qin army would definitely not give up, and it must be a fierce battle.

　Whether he can hold it depends on Li Shang's ability. If he can hold it, it will be very good.

　As long as Li Shang guarded Yong County, it would cut off the connection between Great Qin Xianyang and Longxi to the west.

　After the beginning of spring, after Liu Bang occupies the land of Shu, he can completely march into Longxi.

　But if Li Shang failed to hold Yong county this winter and was taken back by the Qin army, they would have no choice but to give up the land of Longxi.

　After all, for Liu Bang, Longxi is far less important than Shu, and he can clearly distinguish the priorities.

　And this winter, Xu Feng basically stayed in Xianyang. Except for dealing with some important government affairs every day, he was basically studying that broken system.

　Otherwise, talk to Zhao Yun and Lu Bu, exchange some feelings, and even let Zhao Yun teach him martial arts.

　Furthermore, shuttle to the newly integrated Ordnance Bureau outside Xianyang City, and check the iron smelting and many ordnance there.

　After Xu Feng returned to Xianyang, he gave Guo Jia an important task, which was to integrate all the artisans in Xianyang, gradually abandoning bronze manufacturing and switching to iron ordnance.

　In the battle against Xiang Yu at Hangu Pass, the iron weapons and stirrups in the Qin army all played a big role.

　Weapon superiority is already a part of the Qin army's combat strength advantage, Xu Feng naturally cannot give up this aspect.

　After Guo Jia's rectification, the Ordnance Bureau included all the departments of Daqin mining, iron smelting, ordnance research and manufacturing, and the production of civilian tools.

　The Qin Army Ordnance Bureau may not be the most powerful institution in Daqin, but it is definitely the department with the highest technological content in Daqin, representing Daqin's productivity.

　The integrated Daqin Ordnance Bureau included more than 20 coal mines and iron mines, three iron smelting plants, five armament manufacturing offices, and so on.

　There are as many as 10,000+ people under management, including miners, craftsmen, and guards, and they are located throughout Xianyang.

　Otherwise, it would be impossible for Xu Feng to hand over trivial matters to Guo Jia.

　Guo Jia did not disappoint Xu Feng either. The integration of such a huge department took him less than a month to fully integrate many departments that were originally scattered, and to play a more efficient production.

　"Your Majesty, the two iron smelting plants in the west of Xianyang City have been completed and can be put into production in two days.

　Weichen has shut down two-thirds of the previous bronze smelting, and transferred all the craftsmen there to work in the newly built iron smelting plant.

　In addition, two new coal mines and an iron mine have been found, and mining has also begun.

　For this, I would also like to thank General Li You for sending soldiers to Xianyang to send tens of thousands of captured soldiers.

　It is because of these prisoners of war that we have enough manpower to mine the three new mines we opened, and there are even a lot of them left.

　The Weichen has been handed over to Prime Minister Zhuge, who will be in charge of organizing these prisoners of war to build the road to the mine..."

　Xu Feng walked to the new ironworks in the west of the city, looking at the towering ironmaking blast furnaces, feeling extremely beautiful, and at the same time listening to Guo Jia's work report during this time.

　"Why are there so many bronze craftsmen left?"

　"Your Majesty, all the ordnance built by my Great Qin before, especially the crossbow machine used in the bronze arm crossbow, are all made of bronze.

　Unless His Majesty now orders that these bronze arm crossbows be completely discarded, these craftsmen need to be left behind to continue to build bronze crossbows to replace the broken arm crossbows. "

　"Your Majesty, iron ordnance is indeed better than bronze, but even if iron is used to replace bronze, it still needs a gradual process, and it cannot be accomplished overnight."

　"Well, that's the truth. I was lacking in consideration before, and Feng Xiao did the right thing."

　Xu Feng nodded.

　"Your Majesty, there is also the expenditure of the Ordnance Bureau during this period, mining, iron smelting, and forging weapons, which cost a lot.

　Prime Minister Zhuge has stopped approving new funds for Weichen, so His Majesty has to talk to Prime Minister Zhuge.

　If there is no new appropriation, the Ordnance Bureau will not be able to continue to expand. "

　"Well, the prime minister has already reported this to me, so you can't spend less.

　Do you know how much food you spent on integrating the Ordnance Bureau this month?A total of more than 500 gold (copper)!

　If I were the prime minister, I wouldn't give you money either. "

　At this time, Xu Feng also turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and said helplessly.

　Guo Jia was able to rectify the Ordnance Bureau in one month without delaying the normal production of ordnance in the Ordnance Bureau. At the same time, after the completion of the rectification, the daily output value of the Ordnance Bureau has increased a lot.

　Xu Feng is satisfied with this, but Guo Jia has spent a lot of money in the past month in order to complete the rectification.

　With more than 500 gold in Daqin at this time, what kind of purchasing power does it have? Let me give you an analogy to understand.

　One gold in Daqin is equal to about 32 qian, and at this time in Xianyang, an ordinary person only needs two qian for two meals a day.

　The daily salary of an ordinary craftsman is eight qian, which is enough to support a family of five.

　The more than 500 gold that Guo Jia spent was enough for the daily living expenses of [-] people.

　"Your Majesty, you are the one who asked me to complete the integration of the Ordnance Bureau in the shortest possible time.

　You can't have both your cake and your bear's paw in this world.

　His Majesty wants Weichen to complete the integration in the shortest time, and he must pay a price, which is nothing more than spending more money. "

　Facing Xu Feng's complaints, Guo Jia responded confidently.

　"What you said seems to make sense."

　After Xu Feng heard it, he thought about it too.

　I can't let the horse run and let the horse not eat grass.

　However, Xu Feng still wants to tell Guo Jia that he must become a virtue of diligence and thrift in housekeeping, and that he should not spend too much money.

　The Daqin at this time is not the Daqin in the past. Xu Feng's current territory is so small and the population is so large.

　Even before, Daqin had accumulated a lot of wealth in Guanzhong, but Xu Feng didn't dare to squander it now.

　You know, in the next few years, if Xu Feng wants to reunify the world, he doesn't know how much he will spend.

　"Feng Xiao, if we can save as much as possible in the future, you should learn from the prime minister.

　If you look at the prime minister, if you can break one dollar into two dollars, this is the way of diligence and thrift! "

　Xu Feng tried his best to 'brainwash' Guo Jia, but it was a pity that Guo Jia didn't listen at all.

　"So he is the prime minister, but I am not!"

　Guo Jia said with a smile.

　"You... hey!"

　Xu Feng sighed, knowing that what he said was in vain.

　"never mind."

　In the end Xu Feng waved his hand and did not force Guo Jia.

　Xu Feng also understood that Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia had different personalities and different ways of doing things.

　You cannot force Guo Jia to be like Zhuge Liang. Guo Jia is Guo Jia, not Zhuge Liang.

　It is because Xu Feng has Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia, the two important ministers, that Xu Feng, the emperor, can do so easily.

　Especially Zhuge Liang, as the prime minister, he has to handle many complicated government affairs of Daqin for Xu Feng every day.

　Only when some particularly important matters were involved, Zhuge Liang would report it to Xu Feng for his own decision.

　Moreover, Zhuge Liang is a character summoned by the system, not only because of his ability, but more importantly because of his loyalty. Xu Feng can naturally entrust him with the government affairs of the Great Qin with confidence.

　Xu Feng never used Zhuge Liang as a counselor at all, but as an important minister of internal affairs.

　Xu Feng felt that that was Zhuge Liang's true position.

　On the contrary, Guo Jia is more suitable to be a counselor than Zhuge Liang.

　The main reason is that Guo Jia is too lazy, but he doesn't have the attitude of Zhuge Liang who does it himself and works tirelessly.

　Apart from advising Xu Feng every day, this guy just reads and drinks. He really is very leisurely.

　Even, in order for Guo Jia to be in charge of the integration of the Ordnance Bureau, it was Xu Feng who spent ten pots of Baihua Niang to 'buy' him before he agreed.

　At this time, Zhuge Liang is equivalent to the general of the State Council of the later generations, and Guo Jia is Xu Feng's chief of staff, the real right-hand man.

　"Feng Xiao, follow me to Zilong later."

　After Xu Feng planned to inspect the Ordnance Bureau, he went to find Zhao Yun.

　"Eh..., Your Majesty, I have worked hard for the past few days, and now I feel very tired. If you want to go home and sleep, you should go by yourself."

　Guo Jia yawned and refused, making Xu Feng look like he wanted to kill someone.

　It is estimated that only Guo Jia dared to refuse the invitation of the majestic Emperor Qin II.

　"The day before yesterday, I just rewarded Zhao Yun with two pots of Baihua Niang..."

　"Your Majesty, I haven't seen General Zhao for a while, and I suddenly feel that it is time to meet him. I will go with you."

　Before Xu Feng finished speaking, Guo Jia immediately regained his energy when he heard Baihuaniang's name, and spoke righteously.

　For the sake of Guo Jia's health, Xu Feng didn't let him drink too much wine, and now he only gave him half a pot of Baihua Niang every day.

　But this mere half pot of wine is not enough for Guo Jia to drink, and he drank it in half a day.
