Gubu Ziqing has followed Zhao Yang for most of his life. As the first retainer of the Zhao family for a long time, it cannot be said that he does not have his own authority in the Zhao family. Moreover, because he is the successor of the new master, this is the moment when he relies on him the most.
It's just that the king is the king and the minister is the minister. When the king is discussing important matters, wouldn't it be good for the minister to interrupt?
Zhiyao looked at Gubu Ziqing with a dissatisfied expression, and then looked at Zhao Bolu with great doubts.
In other words, Zhao Bolu was so honest and honest that he couldn't even tell the difference between monarch and minister. How could he allow Gubu Ziqing to be so bold?
In other words, what inappropriate speech did Gubu Ziqing think Zhao Bolu would make?
This really made Zhiyao feel more and more that something was wrong, and it became more difficult to confirm the situation for a while.
"There must be something wrong with you regretting your marriage!" Zhiyao almost concluded, but there were still some doubts.
If the Zhao family makes a fuss about the marriage with Dai Jun, the authenticity of Dai Jun's regretful marriage will be easily investigated, and the problems that will arise afterwards will not be just a little bit.
By then, even if Zhao can obtain some benefits, or obtain big benefits, the already poor reputation will become even worse.
Gaining temporary benefits but losing credibility? In the current social environment, nobles with a right mind would usually not do it.
Isn't it just that? Zhao has always been quite special, and often makes some outrageous actions, which cannot be treated as common sense.
Zhiyao has doubts, mainly because his thinking is a bit assimilated by contemporary times, and secondly, he doesn't understand how sinister Zhao Wuxie can be.
If you study the generations of Zhao family heads and understand the personalities of Zhao Bolu and Zhao Guanxie, you will find that Zhao Bolu is quite similar to Zhao Cheng, while Zhao Guangxie, who was born as a concubine, combines the styles of Zhao Wu and Zhao Yang while having his own
Thinking in dealing with things.
If you know who Luan Shu is, you will conclude that Zhao Wuxie is the version of Luan Shu who lost his moral bottom line and finally succeeded.
Luan Shu? He was the oldest person in the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period. His wonderful life is very suitable for those who want to become heroes.
In the end, Zhao Bolu still did not propose how many troops the Zhi family needed to send. He responded that several families needed to discuss it together. The next day, he went directly to Zhi Yao to say goodbye and left without stopping.
Zhiyao summoned Taihu and told him, "You can find out the major and minor affairs of Dai Kingdom according to your life."
At present, Cheng Shuo is still on the Mount Wutai side, and there are two other "brigades" stationed there for a long time.
Originally, it would be more appropriate for Yang Hu to do this kind of thing in "Huo Ren". The problem is that Yang Hu has just arrived at "Huo Ren" and needs to do too many things, which is not suitable for distraction.
Even if Zhiyao doesn't understand why the Zhao family wants to attack Dai Guo, she will be able to make a judgment at once just by seeing how much support the Zhao family asks for from each family.
In addition, if Zhao wanted to take action, he would not be able to take action right away. It would definitely take a period of preparation.
So, the wind is already blowing, it is hard to say when to gather the wind and take advantage of the momentum.
"I always feel that this kind of thing is weird." Zhiyao was thinking that the strange thing was not only the dispute between the Zhao family and Dai Guo, but also the fact that other high-ranking families had become Zhao's nannies.
Zhiyao, who has read history, can find reference from past examples. In history, Sanke often used public utensils for private use, but Sanke's situation was different from Zhao's.
Sanque used public weapons for personal use because they were very powerful and wanted to use the power of Jin to attack the princes who were disrespectful to them.
The Zhao family was weakened and looked more like a bullied baby, asking for support from the elders.
"Gubu Ziqing obviously doesn't want other families to participate? Is it because he doesn't want to weaken the Zhao family's prestige due to his original pride, or is it for some other reason?" Zhiyao thought to herself.
In the follow-up, Zhishen did not know what the situation was and did not pass on the relevant news to Zhiyao. Zhiyao, who thought he would get the news, was delayed for a few days before sending someone back to inquire.
When people get Zhiyao outside, they don't know that Zhishen has a heart disease.
Some stubborn people tend to get stuck in one thing and cannot extricate themselves. Whether they can get out of it depends on themselves.
Zhishen's heart ailment is nothing else, the main concern is where Zhiyao will lead Zhishi into.
Zhiyao, who returns to "Xintian" again, will inevitably find something wrong with Zhishen. It is best to enlighten Zhishen, otherwise she will make a compromise and do nothing while Zhishen is alive.
Ultimately, Zhi Yao didn't expect that just revealing a part of it would make Zhishen like that. If she knew about it, she would be rotten in her stomach.
The clan members and retainers of the Zhi family would not immediately report to Zhi Yao when they discovered something was wrong with Zhishen. How could this really be the case? Didn't they become the agents placed by Zhi Yao around Zhishen?
Zhiyao, who has been staying in "Ye", needs to inspect each workshop from time to time. If the operation is normal, there is no need to interfere. If there is trouble, he will seek solutions as soon as possible.
At present, there are twelve large furnaces in "Ye" city. They keep the fire going for smelting every day. The iron ingots produced will be sent to weapons or armor forging workshops, where weapon embryos and armor parts are forged and then sent to the next workshop for processing.
, and eventually become finished weapons and armor.
So a set of procedures is, to put it bluntly, an assembly line model. It is not that one workshop is responsible for all the processes from scratch.
Twelve smelting furnaces are not too many, and new smelting furnaces will be added in the future. There is a reason why there are only twelve smelting furnaces for now. The main reason is that it is a bit troublesome to transport iron ore and coal mines from various places. In the future, roads will be built and the transportation volume will increase.
As the number of chimneys increases, you can see many chimneys spitting out black smoke in "Ye" city.
"If the weapons reserves are sufficient, they can be used to make agricultural tools." Zhiyao did not mention armor.
Compared with weapons, armor is more difficult to create, which means that no matter how much it is produced, the reserves will be insufficient.
Ran You first said "promise" and then said: "The oil still needs the crown prince to send someone to urge you."
Zhishi has fully used iron weapons. How to maintain them after they are issued is up to the holder. The weapons and armor stored in the warehouse will require the use of grease.
For this purpose, Zhiyao tinkered with soybean oil. The strange thing is that due to insufficient grain production, it was not put into the edible oil market and was used specifically to maintain various military reserves.
During that period, there was one more thing that Zhiyao was proud of, which was the discovery of rapeseed flowers and the experiment of squeezing oil from rapeseeds, which was not about "creating" the word "oil".
Before Zhiyao came up with soybean oil and rapeseed oil refining, there was actually no vegetable oil. The oil that people consumed or used for other purposes was animal oil. Animal oil is very easy to condense, so people used the name "paste".
Large-scale planting of rapeseed has not been done by any family before. If rapeseed is grown, it is only used as a vegetable. No one knows that oil can be squeezed from rapeseed.
The fact that the Zhi family can extract oil from soybeans and rapeseeds has not been known to other families so far. Firstly, the Zhi family has done a good job of keeping it secret, and secondly, everyone lacks relevant knowledge and does not know it at all.
A certain thing can also squeeze out oil, and the most important thing is that it can be eaten.
The reality is like that. Not knowing is a stumbling block. Countless people have troubled countless people when they did something that was obviously very simple. After knowing the answer, they suddenly realized it, and they still felt stupid.
When Chi's puts vegetable oil on the market one day, don't underestimate the various families. They will be able to quickly detect the clues just from the fact that vegetable oil does not condense easily, and then conduct various spying on Chi's.
Families who know the answer will definitely not dare to imitate it and put it into the market. If they do so, they will infringe on Chi's "patent rights" and then compete in the market, and they will be beaten hard.
They can produce it for their own use, and they don’t want to challenge Zhishi, but they can’t put it into the market anyway!
Zhiyao has data here. The reserve of various weapons reaches 70,000, and the reserve of armor is 4,000 sets.
Because of the need for experimentation, Zhiyao designed many types of weapons and armors at first. Later, the unrealistic works were gradually eliminated, and there were not so many types left.
Looking at how the new army changed their equipment after returning from the expedition, we can find that there are no longer spearmen and axemen, and a large number of spearmen have been added. Next, the number of sword and shield soldiers has also been increased, and the original spearmen have been retained.
and spear soldiers, and of course the tower shield soldiers, a unique unit of Xia, are indispensable.
I don't know if it was due to preconceptions, but Zhiyao always felt that as wars became more and more frequent and the number of participants increased dramatically, the spearmen would soon be eliminated.
The New Army will be the forerunners of the Zhishi. They are responsible for exploring how to use new weapons. After repeated verification in actual combat, the Zhishi senior leadership will then judge whether it is suitable for promotion to other troops.
There are reasons for the elimination of many weapons. For example, the elimination of guns and spears is simply because the combatants were unable to learn the relevant skills for a long time.
Weapons such as spears and knives don't need to be learned very deeply. You can kill people by stabbing and slashing. After a little training, you can be used on the battlefield.
In fact, Jin people's height and physique are very suitable for playing Mo Dao soldiers, but Zhiyao has no idea how to train a special type of soldiers like Mo Dao soldiers.
Zhiyao didn't know how to train Mo Dao soldiers, and had never thought of trying to conduct research. The reason was that there was no need to specifically restrain the cavalry. Furthermore, a person's energy was really limited, so he should do less research if it was not too urgent.
"Three years old! At most five years old, the armor reserve must exceed ten thousand." Zhiyao did not mention weapons.
The number of weapons reserves is already appropriate, and any increase will increase the logistical pressure on maintenance.
The reserve of only 4,000 sets of armor is obviously not enough. After a big battle, it will be gone. The quantity is indeed small.
This small number is based on Zhiyao's concept. The other families may not have more than four thousand soldiers equipped with reliable armors. Dozens or even hundreds of sets in reserve are considered too much.
It's not a joke. Wooden armor, bamboo armor, rattan armor, and practiced armor are all armors. Every powerful family still pursues leather armor. Who doesn't want metal armor if they have the ability? But it's impossible!
"As long as we persist, the weapons and armor production capacity of 'Ye' City will definitely be improved again!" Zhiyao felt very proud of having built this functional city.
