Li You nodded, but this nod was not a guarantee that Kushan would not pass through the Pamir Mountains. In fact, this was impossible. The hellish terrain of Pamir Mountains, if you find a mountain road and don’t care about time, you can pass through it no matter what.

Li You nodded and meant that even if Kushan came in, there would be some big trouble in Xinzhou. After all, Liangzhou people were trained by the commanders of each county for several years with herbs, food, and meat. They did not brag or be black. These soldiers had gone out to fight wild food and had illegal professions, and could be treated as regular soldiers if they were brought closer to the Iron Cavalry of Xiliang.

According to Li You's suggestion, there were 5,000 people in Liangzhou, and Chen Xi did not completely divide Yongliang at present. Although there was the concept of Yongzhou, there was no governor of Yongzhou. Liangzhou and Sili still maintained their former unity. Guanzhong and Liangzhou people still maintained the demeanor of warriors. Together, they were called Yongliang.

Therefore, each of the ten counties has 5,000 people, which means that the Chang'an treasury will have 50,000 armors. The linings and long weapons do not need to be reissued. Each county has it. After preparing war horses and wearing a horse armor, these are 52,000 swords and Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

Therefore, Li You was not worried about Fu Ward coming in at all. With this configuration, even if Fu Ward really entered New South Wales, he would be hacked by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who had 50,000 yuan in robbed the head. After all, for this group of soldiers who are now relying on the official to make a living, there are people who have given merits from thousands of miles away, which is a very wonderful thing.

"Fifty thousand horse armor, is there?" Liu Bei ran to fight cocks with Yuan Shu and others. Perhaps the bird was also considered a type of chicken. Then Li You turned his head and asked Chen Xi.

"Yes, but you have to wait for the beginning of spring to finish the horse armor and dry it." Chen Xi nodded and said, "No one uses horse armor this year, they are all in the treasury. They need to be maintained at the beginning of the year to avoid being worm-eatened or rusted on the armor."

"Send the equipment directly and let them maintain it themselves." Li You waved his hand and said, "Don't do some useless processes. If you make so many horse armors, you're also idle."

"That's not when creating scale armor. Hydraulic forging hammers were produced in batches. Later, you said that scale armor was not as good as plate armor, and then the forging room in Sanmenxia mainly made plate armor." Chen Xi explained casually, "The excess iron plates were used to make horse armor."

Chen Xi did not turn around at the beginning, or it was purely because Chen Xi didn't use his brain at the beginning. When he was producing armor in the early days, it was mainly scale armor, because Li You didn't know that Chen Xi was building a large water truck in a turbulent place of the Yellow River and doing water conservancy forging hammers. Chen Xi himself didn't stare at it. Li You said that the scale armor was good, so Chen Xi placed a list of 400,000 scale armor.

This is why Liu Bei's entire army was covered in scales during the early military parade.

In fact, Li You said at that time that the reason why scale armor was good was that it had strong defense, good flexibility, relatively light weight, and was much easier to use than leather armor. What was more important was that it saved iron.

However, at that time, Chen Xi had already started to lead his men to build local blast furnaces, and the output of local blast furnaces was simply a level against the sky for this era. Therefore, the subsequent plan to produce scale armor was quickly stopped. The problem was that the production of iron armor sheets by semi-mechanical and assembly lines...

Chen Xi has produced iron armor pieces that are enough to arm millions of people. He has made plate armor at the back and redesigned the production line. The production speed is faster and the defense is stronger. As long as the ergonomic design is reasonable and the shoulders are subject to stress, the plate armor is not only heavy but also surpasses the scale armor in all aspects.

So how to deal with the iron armor piece that can arm millions of people is a big problem. After all, even as a lining, this thing is not as easy to use as a leather armor, so it is very embarrassing. If you rebuild it, the cost and fire consumption will make Chen Xi feel that it is not cost-effective to open the furnace.

Fortunately, when I met Zhang He later, Chen Xi found a way out for this scale armor that was enough to make hundreds of thousands of scale armor, plus the hundreds of thousands of scale armor that had been made - horse armor.

Needless to say, Chen Xi has hoarded horse armor in the Hyogo in the northern prefectures, which is so huge that it makes people think that someone may have some brain problems.

"Let me ask, how many scale armor pieces did you produce back then?" Li You was silent for a while, "Why do you feel that you have eliminated this thing since Yuanfeng's New Year, and there are so many that have been eliminated now? And I heard that the treasury has reserved a lot of iron armor pieces, all of which are rusted."

After asking this, Liu Ye and Lu Su hummed and looked at Chen Xi. They both knew very well, who asked these two to help Chen Xi and the other to help Chen Xi manage weapons?

"Well, didn't you say that scale armor is easy to use back then? It's light, has strong defense, and is not flexible enough to limit the performance of soldiers." Chen Xi pondered for a moment and decided to give up the blame. He really didn't want to admit that he had built scale armor that could arm about 1500,000 people.

After all, there was no large-scale consumption of the shipbuilding industry in the early days, only the consumption of agricultural tools and scale weapons. Chen Xi built a lot of them based on the idea that scales will be the future development direction in the future.

"I just want to know how much you have built. I know you like to store things very much. How much have you stored? Did you store them? 700,000?" Li You looked at Chen Xi and asked.

"One.5 million." Lu Su replied on behalf of Chen Xi, "In total, the scale armor plates were made enough to arm the regular army. Because during the Qingxu Yanzhou period, Zichuan's processing plant only produced agricultural tools, weapons, and scale armor plates."

Li You covered his forehead and felt a little migraine. Should he say that he is worthy of being Chen Zichuan? Are you crazy? He has produced so many aphrodisiacs, and it is difficult to even deal with them now.

"I didn't know back then. You said the scales are good. I found someone to design a hydraulic forging hammer and blast furnace. After arranging the production scale for them, I won't care." Chen Xi was also helpless. During the Qingxu and Yanzhou period, Chen Xi was the most diligent time when Chen Xi was the one who worked hard. There were so many things, and there was really no extra time to care about it after the arrangement.

"You two didn't care at that time?" Li You looked at Lu Su and Liu Ye and asked.

"At that time, we implemented a redundant official system. A legion was equipped with a front-line and negative hand to expand the army in the near future. We made preparations for the regular army of 300,000, and when needed, it would cost one million in a short time. Including the reserve and wealth quota, we really didn't think there was any problem." Lu Su sighed and said, "But did you change your equipment later?"

"And then you made nearly one million plate armor in a short time?" Li You looked at Chen Xi and asked, "You are really capable!"

"My equipment is made by iron plates!" Chen Xi said with a dark face, "You said you want scale armor, but I made scale armor. The scale armor piece requires more hammering."

That's right, for water conservancy forging hammers, it is easier to build plate armor than scale armor. Except when the first design is completed, the efficiency will be greatly improved after the design is completed.

"How do you deal with these scale armors now?" Li You asked curiously.

"As a supplement to the plate armor joints and other positions, then there are still some left. If you don't want to dismantle, you will sell half and half for those guys who go abroad. All the rest are made into horse armor." Chen Xi said expressionlessly, "Anyway, it's waste to use it. You can use it, just point."

"About 500,000 horse armor will be made?" Li You looked at Chen Xi and asked.

"Sure, we will have one million horses sooner or later." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "In about ten years, Yuanfeng should have 700,000 horse armor, and sooner or later it will be used up."

Li You looked at his hand, raised it, and gave Chen Xi a thumbs up.

"This is not a matter. Today, the parts that may be blocked by major families will be solved. Tomorrow is the big pit." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, not too much concealment. The heads of major families eavesdropped on him and he didn't care. Anyway, these people knew what to say tomorrow.

"The problem is that all the major families need to take action tomorrow." Lu Su sighed, and glanced at his father-in-law twice. Ji Zhong looked okay and was not rejected by the major families. It seemed that all major families knew this dangerous experiment.

"I have been finalizing these from today to tomorrow. What else do they say? No one is making a fool of himself, what can I do if I can't read?" Chen Xi said angrily, "I want to teach ordinary people something, but I'm not capable of being cloned, so it's still more realistic."

"Before population, education, or economic structure adjustment?" Zhuge Liang, who had not spoken, suddenly asked.

"Neither population nor education can be solved for a while. First, the economic structure adjustment was adjusted. I worked hard to merge villages and villages, solving many problems, but there are still many that I can't bring up. I think if it really doesn't work, I can only have the imperial dictatorship." Chen Xi sighed and said.

"I can only keep sinking and developing villages. Supply and marketing cooperatives are not the best choice, but now I don't even have any extra choices. What's the matter!" Chen Xi was so angry when he mentioned this, Mi Zhu was much silent when he heard this.

"Or I'll bring together the top twenty wealthy merchants and have a good talk with them." Mi Zhu sighed after a while, and said that the network of all of them could not penetrate all aspects of the country. Twenty merchants could not do it together. After all, merchants are going to pursue profits.

Of course, there are more merchants to make money, and more remote places where you can’t make money, it has to be more realistic. With the current situation of mainstream villages in the Han Dynasty, the shops of major wealthy merchants have been opened. Not to mention making money, it would be good if they don’t lose money.

At present, there are a group of travelers in the mainstream villages of the Han Dynasty who buy certain supplies from these wealthy merchants, and then sellers from county or county towns to villages in various places.
