Section 313 Plate Armor and Talent (2nd Update)


When Liu Che walked into the hall of Jiaguan, he saw dozens of low-level bureaucrats burying their heads in calculating the expenditure books piled up in the hall like a hill.

It has only been more than two months since the uterus was back in operation.

However, the accounts generated have piled up.

Up and down in this palace, tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, no matter how big or small, are recorded in these account books.

Seeing Liu Che coming, Zhang Tang and Yan Yi, who were urging, hurriedly stepped forward.

As the person in charge of the province that Liu Che made up, it is their duty to account for and supervise these accounts.

In the past two days, Zhang Tang and Yan Yi have been squatting here almost undressed, liquidating and checking the money and food spent one by one.

It's a stupid solution, but it's also a very effective one.

The result of the audit in the past two days is that there are seven or eight fewer people in Liu Che's uterus.

They are all moths who try to falsify accounts and fish in troubled waters.

Thinking of this, Liu Che was a little angry, he was too womb, and just after it opened, there were corrupt people.

Later, I got it In order to make an example of him, Liu Che was also merciless to those who were found out, and all of them were sent to the Tingwei Yamen to be punished.

"Did you find any problems today?"

Liu Che asked as soon as they met.

Zhang Tang and Yan Yi glanced at each other in private and smiled bitterly.

In the past two days, the reputation of the two of them has been ruined.

Because of the successive throwing people to the Tingwei Yamen, the princess went up and down, saying that the two of them were impersonal regardless of the feelings of their colleagues.

Zhang Tang was different from Yan Yi, but he felt that he was really wronged.

The order to get rid of those moths was given by the prince, and it was also the prince who demanded that they be transferred to the court commander's yamen.

But the fellow villagers and clans of those who were transferred blamed the two of them for everything.

Especially Yan Yi, because he ran two officials who were also Confucians, he had a very uncomfortable year.

Now.

The two of them understood why the prince wanted to tinker with the three-province system.

Under the three-province system, the work of offending people is all done by courtiers.

But the prince can be transcendent "Back to my family, today I audited the expenses of last year's Sixian Garden.

I found that there were a few payments that were not normal, and in addition, the prince Zhongdun Sima was similar, and there were a few expenditures, which were not very in accordance with the rules" Zhang Tang replied: "There is more.

There are also two expenditures in this year's grain purchase, which do not match the account books of the minister."

"Look at it alone" Liu Che heard this, and immediately turned up.

Even if it's in Sixian Garden, it's a dilapidated house over there, with wind on all sides, and the cats inside are dazzling.

Most of the officials arrested in this audit were planted on the side of Sixian Yuan.

As for Sima Xiangru, Liu Che estimated that he might have taken the money to drink flower wine.

As long as the amount is not large, Liu Che doesn't bother to care about him.

After all, an excellent literati will always have some problems It's just that there are problems in this grain purchase It's unbearable It must be strictly investigated Yan Yi then handed the problematic account book to Liu Che, Liu Che took it and looked at it, Sixian Yuan, there was a sum of 30,000 yuan that was recorded as the cost of palace repairs.

Liu Che handed the account book to Wang Dao behind him, and ordered, "Go check it out."

If it is found out, if it is an official, let Zhang Tang issue a document and transfer it to Tingwei.

If it's a eunuch slave or maid, you can do it yourself."

"Nuo" Wang Dao took it and nodded: "The slave knows" In the past two days, there have been four or five eunuchs in the palace who have been killed with rods alone, and they are all unclean hands and feet.

Liu Che is for these guys who are reaching out indiscriminately.

Especially the eunuchs, as soon as they found out, they were heavy-handed.

Although he also knows that such harsh laws cannot eradicate corruption at all.

However, if this is not done, corruption will be even more rampant.

Then he looked at Sima Xiangru's expenditure bill again.

It's all hundreds of dollars, more than a thousand dollars of expenditure, Liu Che only glanced at it, he didn't bother to look at it, and said to Zhang Tang: "In the future, Sima Xiangru's bill, as long as it is not too excessive, let him go by the way, tell Sima Xiangru, Huajie Liuxiang, or go a few less trips, it is insulting to Sven, and it is the right way to find a good family and get married."

Sima Xiangru has been a frequent visitor to Willow Lane in Flower Street recently.

It is very popular with the bosses of Chang'an's red light district.

Liu Che knows the whereabouts of this goods very clearly, and even these expenses are specially approved by Liu Che, otherwise, how would Ji Di agree to allocate money For Sima Xiangru, a deep-rooted stubborn disease of literati, Liu Che has no choice. can only pay for his romance.

Otherwise, if there is a fuss like Li Taibai, the Son of Heaven will not come to the court, it will be really ridiculous for eternity, it is better to eat and drink well, write poems and write poems, and praise the Han Dynasty, it will be your own Guo Moruo.

Looking at food spending, it's more complicated.

It also took Liu Che a little time to figure out what was going on.

Those few problematic expenditures are hidden in some normal expenditures, playing tricks like fire consumption.

Liu Che sneered twice and said, "Zhang Qing, who is the person who handles these payments?"

Zhang Tang then said a name.

Liu Che frowned slightly when he heard this.

This person still has some backgrounds, and he can probably have something to do with the Dou family, no wonder, he dares to play tricks on this project that Liu Che focuses on.

After thinking about it, Liu Che said: "Let's start the revolution."

This is also a helpless choice.

Prince Jiang fought tigers in Shanghai, facing the Kong family and the Song family, probably such a helpless method. can only say that Journey to the West really writes all kinds of officialdom.

After dealing with these things, Liu Che said to Zhang Tang: "A few days ago, what Gu Mingqing did in Sixian Yuan, now, how is it going?"

In recent days, because of the war, Liu Che has also closely observed and learned about the current standing equipment of the Han army.

He found a problem, that is, the armor in the army, the penetration rate is quite low.

Zhou Yafu's army of 100,000 soldiers, the soldiers who can wear armor, at most 10,000, and the remaining 90,000, all of them are unarmored soldiers.

Even if there is a nail in it.

Those who can wear iron armor are also Sima or even lieutenant-level officers, and most of the non-commissioned officers are wearing leather armor.

Such a situation.

Of course Liu Che changed In the history of mankind, the pinnacle of armor defense in the era of cold weapons, there is no doubt that the plate armor at the peak of Europa's medieval era is the first to be recommended.

Early plate armor was already effective against bows and arquebuses.

At the peak of their development, the Europeans relied on plate armor.

Many classic examples have been created.

Although Liu Che didn't want to admit it, the fact was that plate armor, regardless of defensive capabilities or anything else, was more suitable for war than the eastern armor and scale armor.

In particular, plate armor is reproducible in mass manufacturing and production, and uniform standards.

And for the Han family at this time.

One of the difficulties that plagued the original European plate armor technology was the lack of iron production, which did not exist.

Last year, the total output of pig iron in the country has exceeded one million catties, about 500,000 catties in later generations, which is roughly equivalent to the output of 50,000 tons of pig iron.

It is enough to support the Han family to expand its army at a rate of 5,000 pairs of plate armor per year.

After the earth-based blast furnace steelmaking is launched, it can make all the enemies of the Han family desperate.

Therefore, for China now, the only technical difficulty is the breakthrough of hydraulic forging technology.

Liu Che felt that this should not be a problem.

Of course, the kind of bulky fool's target with his whole body in an iron shell and impermeable in an iron shell, as in the medieval war in Europa, did not work in the East.

Liu Che didn't plan to get on the horse with a fool class like the Iron Floating Massacre.

The kind of goods that have been eliminated by history, Liu Che still can't look at it.

What Liu Che really wanted to develop was the kind of cuirassiers that were in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Zhang Tang heard this.

But his face was embarrassed, and he reported: "Back to the family, according to your request, the minister has convened more than 100 craftsmen to discuss the feasibility of this matter.

However, this matter has never been done for a long time, please give the minister some time to ponder it slowly."

Liu Che nodded and said, "It's okay, don't be too anxious."

If you have any needs, you can directly tell Gu, money, people, and food are not a problem."

The use of water to forge this technique was still too advanced for the craftsmen of the time.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to spend money and time, you can always research it.

Moreover, as long as this thing is studied, it can lead the scientific level of the entire Han family to take a big leap forward.

Some of these principles can be applied to the waterwheels and water-powered mills associated with them.

Out of Jiaguan, Liu Che thought about it, and it was not suitable to rely on Zhang Tang alone to be responsible for technical research.

Zhang Tang didn't eat technical rice either.

At best, he can be a well-rounded boss.

However, communicating with the craftsmen, brainstorming, and coming up with solutions is still the most powerful Mohist It's a pity that the Mo family at this time can avoid the government, and few people are willing to go out.

"Yang Zizhong" Liu Che muttered this name in his mouth, thinking about his face in his previous life, so he instructed Wang Dao: "Send someone to Luoyang East City, find the son of a merchant named Yang Yi, remember, this person is about twenty-two years old this year, he has a heavy character, and he is the best at fiddling with instruments, so he invited him to Chang'an."

Although Wang Dao didn't know why the prince ordered this, how did the prince know that there was such a person.

But it doesn't matter, that's what minions do.

So he knelt down and said, "No."

Yang Yi at this moment, in fact, to be honest, Liu Che didn't want to summon him so early.

Because, the Mo family technical expert in the previous life, at this time, the technical level has not been exercised, and there is no level like the previous life.

But there is no way, there is a lack of such people under his hands.

No matter what you say, Yang Yi is also a serious descendant of the Mo family, and he has a natural talent for technical problems.

Inviting him to Chang'an to preside over the research and development of hydraulic forging technology should be the most suitable person.

Two days later, the eastern capital of Luoyang.

A young man was barefoot, fiddling with many instruments in the yard.

He stared at these strange-shaped machines nervously, and there were words in his mouth: "My Mo family ancestor said three tables, if my invention can be successful, it should be a great achievement, and I should be able to leave a name in history hahahaha" He clenched his fists and shouted, "Get moving, Wood Eagle" Then it turns a strange wooden build.

Click, click, click, the strange instrument began to move.

Then, with a snap, the shelves fell apart.

The young man sighed in disappointment: "Hey, I failed again" Ever since he was eighteen years old, he had been determined to create a strange thing like the one that had been lost in the public class, a wooden bird that could fly.

It's a pity that time and time again, I have encountered failures.

At this moment a woman walked by the front of the courtyard, and when she saw this, she frowned, and looked extremely disgusted.

"Yang Xin, don't you care about your brother" The woman crossed her waist and said to a man who was a little cowering behind her: "I know how much it has cost me to fiddle with these instruments all these years."

The man named Yang Xin could only accompany the smiling face honestly and comforted the woman: "Xijun, don't be angry, it's all a family, besides, isn't it okay for my father?"

"Hmph" The woman twisted her waist fiercely and said, "Sooner or later, this family will be defeated by your brother."

But there was nothing she could do.

This family is the master of the house, but the father-in-law.

And that father-in-law, for his youngest son Yang Yi, is very precious, not to mention that Yang Yi is tinkering with those obscene skills at home every day, even if he wants to pick the stars in the sky, I am afraid he will indulge him.

Thinking about these things, she felt very aggrieved.

Tuk-tuk At this moment, there was a sharp knock on the door.

"Who" The woman was already in a bad mood, and when she heard this unceremonious knock on the door, she immediately became angry, and her words were naturally not half polite.

She stepped forward, opened the courtyard door, and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of her.

I saw a large number of heavily armed soldiers standing at the door.

The first person, this woman still recognized, was an official in charge of the East City in Luoyang City, as if her surname was Wang. usually saw her, and this surnamed Wang was eager to swallow her into his stomach.

But at this moment, the surnamed Wang was full of smiles, a flattering smile on her face, and he bent over to laugh with her.

The woman was startled.

Recently, there has been a lot of panic in the market, it is the rebellion of King Wu, and the official army is attacking and suppressing, and there are still secret agents of Wu in the city.

"Is it possible, my family is in trouble" The woman was instantly frightened and at a loss, and hurriedly said: "Everyone, what is the matter with coming to the cold house, my family has gone out to do business, if there is anything, please come back later" "Yang Zhang, your Erlang is at home," the one surnamed Wang asked with a smile.

"Erlang" Yang Zhang's teeth were a little chattering, and these heavily armed soldiers at the door reminded her of a very bad thing.

"Could it be that Erlang's matter has happened" She only felt that her legs were swinging.

The people of the Mo family, the government is very unwelcome But the next moment, the voice of the official surnamed Wang solved her out of the abyss: "Yang Zhang, hurry up and call your Erlang out, Chang'an has a nobleman, and he wants to invite your Erlang to Chang'an to enjoy happiness and be a big official."

Chang'an is a big official and enjoys happiness Yang Zhang's face changed in an instant, he picked it up, twisted his waist, and shouted inside: "Uncle, uncle, there is a distinguished guest from Chang'an looking for you" Yang Xin on the side was a little dumbfounded when he saw it.

When has this wife ever been so kind to her brother?

But then he reacted.

That stupid brother of his own, I'm afraid I'm going to soar this time The realm of Luoyang extends in all directions, and Yang Xin has heard all kinds of rumors and stories.

So, he also hurriedly shouted: "Brother, brother" The younger brother is developed, and he who is the elder brother can also follow the light S: There's one more chapter later, 10,000 words today, and I'll finish what I said t1706231537:
