"Xiang Bo goes north to save Zhao, are you trying to make another amazing contribution?" Not only Xiong Jing has the heart of a villain, but Xiyang Yiyin Zengxia also has the heart of a villain. As soon as he said this, Xiang Yan's face suddenly changed, and then glared at him angrily.

"Your Majesty Zeng is such a bad word!" Chen Bu of Chen County immediately accused him of saying the wrong thing. "Xiang Bo remembered that Qi had surrounded Wei and saved Zhao in the past, so he said that he could not save Zhao. As Cheng Ao said, after moving westward to restore Ying, he had to accumulate grain again before he could follow the Wuguan Road to attack Qin. Now he had accumulated grain for only three years. How many years would he have to accumulate grain after restoring Ying? In recent years, Qin State sat down to me to accumulate grain safely?"

"After six years of accumulation of grain, the land of Chu was small and the population was too small. If you had the old Ying, it would be fine for three years." Shen Yinxi, the county of Qin, refuted that when Chen Jian and Chen Gai took charge of Chen County, Chen Bu was just a right Sima and his status was not high.

"There are more than 300,000 households in Dingkou, and they will eat more grain. Why do you say that you can get three years of grain in three years?" Chen Bu argued again. At this time, it was no longer Cheng Jie, Xiang Yan argued, and the court officials who agreed to go north and those who were willing to go west were all arguing.

A good artillery demonstration turned into a large-scale debate, and Xiong Jing was helpless about it. It doesn’t matter if he talked about the debate, but he was afraid of using force. The Chu people were irritable, and when they were angry, they drew their swords to face each other. He was worried, but the more he was worried about, the more he came, the more he heard Cheng Jie shouting: "Draw the sword! I will fight you."

Cheng Jie had already drawn his sword. The person he wanted to fight with was not Xiang Yan, but Xiong Jing's position and supported Yi Yang Hou Yitu who was heading north. Both of them were hot-tempered. Before he finished speaking, Yitu had already drawn his sword. The tip of the sword pointed at Cheng Jie from a distance, and others quickly retreated.

"Rareless!" Xiong Jing rushed up before the two of them were killed, forcing both sides to point their swords and bow to him. "This is not the magistrate. If you want to decide, you can go to the magistrate. If you are not a magistrate, you will not stop him."

Only in the court, court officials can duels, no other time or place, and they cannot find some servants to secretly and secretly do what they do on the way. To kill anyone, they must be invited to fight openly, and then they will be cut off by the gaze of all court officials. According to the principle of reciprocity, doctors can only challenge doctors, scholars can only challenge scholars; because of age, doctors can replace doctors, scholars can replace scholars; in the end, Xiong Jing, as the king, has the right to interrupt and make decisions in order to prevent someone from abusing his force.

Under Xiong Jing's anger, Cheng Jie and Yi Tu had to collect the sword. Yi Tu was a loyal man. He knew that the king did not like duels, but Cheng Jie knew that as Xiong Jing grew up, the royal power was better than one day, and he subconsciously became afraid very early. Although Xiong Jing could go to the court, both of them put their swords into the sheath, leaving only the glow like fire.

"The demonstration has been completed. If nothing else is done, let's retreat." It's already tense, and if you continue to discuss it, you will probably have to fight together. Xiong Jing quickly ended.

"Dare you ask how much the price of the King's artillery is? How do those who want to buy it?" The debate delayed the main business. When Xiong Jing announced his withdrawal, some people remembered to ask about the price of the artillery.

Of course, Xiong Jing said that the price was not Xiong Jing. When Shi Zhi saw Xiong Jing's color, he bent forward and said, "Each ten-pound cannon is priced at twenty gold, and each fifteen-pound cannon is priced at thirty gold. One cannon is prepared for 200 rounds of ammunition, and a ten-pound cannon costs thirty gold; a fifteen-pound cannon requires forty hardware."

"This..." As for the artifact, this price is not expensive, but in terms of weapons, this price is extremely expensive. At this price, a battalion of 16 ten-pound cannons, and the artillery plus shells will cost 800 gold. This will be the land rent for a small county for a year. Although the armored soldiers do not need to pay the land rent, they must purchase their own weapons and armor, and stockpile the food and fodder they eat during wartime in the high warehouses of the county. If the nobles of the county and towns think they need to buy any weapons, such as warships, crossbows, catapults, artillery, etc., they will also have to pay temporarily.

The artillery ammunition costs 800 gold, and the cannons cost more. A 10-jin artillery battalion requires 860 horses to be picked up and 32 horses to be ridden. This is just a horse in the organization, and during the war, it requires about 10% of the horses to be prepared, and more than 100 four-wheeled carriages worth two gold.

Of course, if the eight-day supplies can be reduced, a gun battalion only has 320 horses, and 350 horses in wartime. This depends on the meaning of the Grand Sima Mansion. If the Grand Sima Mansion thinks that the artillery battalion must be equipped with eight-day horse materials to ensure artillery combat, then the counties and towns will have to purchase so many horses and carriages.

After Shi Zhi finished talking about the price, everyone looked at artillery general Gong Shuji and Xiang Yan, and heard Gong Shuji say: "The Grand Sima Mansion thought that artillery must have three days of food and fodder, that is, one battalion needs to prepare 216 horses and 54 food and fodder heavy trucks."

"There is little food and fodder carried by a truck!" The number of carriages calculated by the Grand Sima Mansion was only 500 kilograms per carriage, and some people questioned it.

"However, the heavy chariot and four horses are dragged, the few are four thousand Chu jin, and the most are six thousand Chu jin. How can we calculate two thousand Chu jin?" someone said again.

"A cart costs only two thousand kilograms, and there is a reason for the Grand Sima Mansion." Xiang Yan said. "If you don't have enough money, you can buy a company. A company of artillery and ammunition is only two hundred gold, and you can add 14 food and fodder carts and pick up fifty-six horses."

A ten-pound cannon battalion requires more than 500 horses, plus fifty-four carriages, which costs about 1,600 gold. It takes three or five years for a small county to pay for so much money; and if you only buy one cannon company, the money will not cost more than 400 gold. Such small towns can be afforded. As soon as Xiang Yan finished speaking, some counties and towns wanted to buy, but he had not finished speaking.

"A cannons are the artifacts of Thunder God, which are beyond the reach of people. Therefore, the counties and counties that purchase cannons must first be sent to Yingdu to try them. Only after entering the school can you buy cannons, and only after completing the school can you use cannons." Xiang Yan added the conditions for purchasing cannons.

"I dare to ask Xiang Bo, why are you trying to enter Yingdu?" The crowd looked forward to it, worried that they would be eliminated.

Xiang Yan said: "What you are trying is natural, and you must not slacke in martial arts."

Chu language, nature, practice, and martial arts are basic courses. Each county and town school teaches these four courses. The government of culture and education has been implemented for seven years, but because teachers also need to go to a teacher school and there are twists and turns in the middle, it was not until this year that the first batch of students graduated. They entered school at the age of eight and eleven, and the eleven-year-old baby soldiers who came to Yingdu to try their luck will be the eleven-year-old baby soldiers.

"What should I do..." Some people were anxious. Some county and town schoolhouses opened late, and the students had not graduated yet this year. However, today, court officials have formed a party long time ago. There are always some county and town schoolhouses opened early. There are many students who graduated this year, so it is okay to adjust to each other.

The court officials finally withdrew from the martial arts field with joy - Xiang Yan finally announced another order: starting next year, the original trenchers in each county can be sold to the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Zhao. This weapon has a range that is not as good as cannons, and its weight is far greater than cannons, and it has been listed as eliminated.

They were happy, but Xiang Yan and Xiong Jing were not happy at all. Judging from the reactions of the court officials just now, the vast majority of people who favored the advance westward, and even the honorary scholars from the Song and Wu areas also hoped to advance westward. Advance westward is to restore the old land and gain practical benefits. The unlu became the lord of the Youlu, and the lord of the One Lu became the lord of the One Lu, and the lord of the One Lu might soon be respected as the lord of the One County. Whether it is emotions or real benefits, they tend to move westward rather than northward.

"I dare to ask Xiang Bo, can you divide the troops? Can one army lead Qi and Wei to rescue Zhao, and one army advances west to attack Qin?" Zhengmingtang asked Qu Sui, who was not familiar with the war. He asked this, and even Xiong Jing looked at Xiang Yan.

"No. The army of Qi and Wei has long been afraid of Qin and dare not fight with the Qin people. If we divide the troops and lead the Qin people, it may be like the battle in Chengpu." Xiang Yan shook his head and talked about the battle in Chengpu. Seeing that Qu Sui still didn't understand, he had to say again: "The Qin people gathered in Gongquan. If I divide the troops and lead the troops and Wei troops to fight with the Qin people, when the battle is against him, the Qin people will attack the two armies of Qi and Wei, and they will be defeated.

The Chu army is only 200,000, and it is not a 150,000 man who fights it, and it is invincible. If 150,000 man who fights it, the soldiers who advance west will not be enough. Therefore, if you advance westward and go north, you must take one of them. Looking at it today, the court will advance westward. However, the westward advance is the matter in the next year. The Qin people will attack Zhao next year. Even if I attack Qin later, Qin will not save Nanjun and insist on destroying Zhao. In this way, Zhao will be destroyed."

"Can you summon more new soldiers?" Qu Sui remembered that more than 300,000 people were recruited that year.

"It is not for a long-term training of soldiers, it is useless to summon more people." Xiang Yan looked at Xiong Jing after answering, "Does the king also want to restore Ying?"

Xiang Yan was so arrogant that he would lobby Zhao Concubine, even if Xiong Jing was afraid that Xiong Jing would agree to advance westward. He asked Xiong Jing now and shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The matter of restoring Ying can be slow, but the matter of saving Zhao cannot be slow. If all the officials insist on advancing westward, Ying army should go with Xiang army, and Chen army goes north to save Zhao."

"No. Not bad." Xiang Yan, Zhaoshu, Naojiu, Qu Sui, Yi Tu and others shook their heads together.

"How can you not come to restore the King of Ying?" Nao said anxiously, "The people of the old Ying did not see the King, but they thought of the King. Moreover, if the Ao family's heart is known, if they let them lead their troops to restore Ying, they will definitely be defeated in the last day, and the last one will not be lost."

Ruo Ao's rebellion once, but what is the reason is very taboo. Some people have already opposed Chengyang when they gave them. If the battle of Restoration Ying was dominated by him, it would be a big problem after the successful Restoration Ying was successful. Naojiu said this, Xiang Yan and Zhaoshu fully agreed with his meaning, and Qu Sui nodded slightly.

The power of each clan must be balanced so that the national government can be stable. A bad battle in the battle of Ying will make the Ruoao clan grow stronger again, which will greatly affect the political situation.

"I should not sell cannons to Ruoao." Yi Tu nodded and complained again.

"This is inappropriate." Before Xiong Jing could speak, Xiang Yan opposed it. "Architecture is my most powerful weapon. You don't need to fight troops. You can break the formation several miles away. If you don't sell artillery, many soldiers will die."

Yi Tu almost fought with Cheng Jie today, and his relationship with Xiang Yan was not good, but he did not refute Xiang Yan's words this time. From the perspective of checks and balances, he really had to limit the Ruo Ao family, but from the perspective of the Chu people, he could not do this. This is the lower limit.
