Chapter 61 version answer, Divine Warrior
The two left Florence and arrived at the camp. Jia Chen dismissed his attendants before speaking, "Sir, this matter is strange from every angle. The Southern side is very unified on this issue; no one dares to lower the price, no matter how much silver they offer."
Si Chen simply replied, "You have to trust his abilities."
"What ability?"
"Family background," Si Chen chuckled. "That's Xu Wenjue's ability. Lately, haven't all the things he's been involved in succeeded, but you just can't seem to get it right?"
They're just showing off their status.
These people may not necessarily succeed, but they can certainly cause trouble.
Jia Chen was speechless. When the soldiers of Weibo were in trouble, the higher-ups had to borrow money and take out loans to pay them their wages.
Si Chen took it all in stride; Xu Wenjue's value lay precisely in this. As long as the South's technological advantage remained intact, this problem wouldn't be solved. "It would be best if you could supervise. If not, it's alright; I'll find a way to resolve it."
Whoever does the work is responsible for it.
Si Chen advised, "It would be quite good if you could manage the Ghost Market well. I'd feel more at ease leaving the Felix Felicis business to you. Like I said, focus on the big picture and let go of the small details."
Jia Chen sighed, "Fine, I have no intention of playing along with him."
"You crude brute!" Si Chen suppressed the urge to curse. "I told you to relax, not to give up. Didn't we talk about using the Divine Strategist and the Mars Star to defeat the enemy? Lead the way!"
The first camp was in the city, with the women's camp next door, where Featherscale Guards and Paladins were stationed. Three more camps gradually expanded out of the surrounding area.
The three outer camps, along with Tianjin City, formed a triangular formation, distributed thirty li outside the city. All were constructed with rammed earth and brick walls, forged and fused together by divine craftsmanship, appearing as if made of iron.
The city stored grain and flammable oil, and also had smoke signals that could be set on fire and made clearly visible for miles around.
Si Chen personally went to each camp to investigate. If he didn't personally check these things, they would definitely falsify them.
Three centurions who were causing trouble and reselling weapons in the camp were arrested and executed.
When the Great Banner of the Seven Stars of the North Star arrived at the camp of the Left Guard, it was during a midday eclipse.
The two men shared a meal with the samurai in the camp, a meal the garrison soldiers ate with trepidation.
After washing up, Sichen straightened his clothes and assumed a dignified posture, then beat the drum, raised the tent, and opened the gate.
At a glance, there were two hundred warriors, clad in cotton armor and wearing four-part helmets. Their discipline was beyond description.
"Your Excellency, it's time to bless these Divine Warriors," Jia Chen reminded him.
Si Chen nodded, slowly rose, and was worshipped by the crowd, who pledged their loyalty.
He plucked a drop of rain from the air, infused it with Felix Felicis, and with a flick of his finger, everyone instantly perked up.
The left and right hands immediately opened the box and distributed the brand-new divine machines.
The warriors cheered and jumped for joy, eagerly forming a contract with the divine machine in their hands and calling upon the machine spirit within it.
Compared to other samurai, this threshold is too low.
All you need is a magic machine.
For the nation, the training cost of the Divine Machine Warriors is low, and their abilities are entirely dependent on the Divine Machine. The imperial court can indirectly control the range of firepower by controlling gunpowder.
Jia Chen waved the command flag.
Two hundred Divine Warriors raised their guns in unison, channeling all their spiritual energy into their divine machines, and pulled the triggers at a target one hundred and fifty paces away.
After a roar.
The target was completely destroyed.
Within ten breaths, the Divine Warrior raised his spear again.
Thirty breaths later, the Divine Warrior's face had turned pale.
After three rounds, the Divine Warrior was drained dry.
Jia Chen went straight onto the field, walked around, and said, "They're exhausted."
Si Chen nodded. "That's about what I expected."
It is in line with the development of the current era.
"Continue, next item." Si Chen waved his hand.
The play continues, and the Divine Warrior exits the stage.
Next, they introduced an eight-sided whirlwind cannon that spews mist and thunders, with an extremely long range.
There is also the Nine-Arrow Heart-Piercing Divine Poison Fire Thunder Gun, a heavy cannon that requires three warriors to operate: one to throw divine sand, one to release divine smoke, and one to release divine water.
The divine sand, carried by the wind, targets the enemy's senses, causing dizziness and blindness. The divine smoke is used to break enemy formations, and the divine water, once it enters the enemy's body, causes their intestines to rupture.
And the Bombardment Cannon, specifically designed to kill barbarians from beyond the borders.
The Eight-Faced Divine Cannon, the Fire Dragon Spitting Flame Ball, and the Flying Fire Crow are powerful weapons of naval warfare; wherever they land, they burn.
Flames soared into the sky from the camp.
After reading it, Si Chen had only one thought.
The only drawback of these weapons is that they are too advanced for their time, and he was well aware of that.
"These things are not something we can handle for the time being."
"Among the techniques of the Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse, there is a method called the Fire Ox Divine Swift Formation, which involves binding reeds to wooden oxen, filling them with fierce fire oil, and making them unstoppable when they run. There is also a method called the Wooden Man Fire Horse Heavenly Thunder Cannon, which involves wooden horses and wooden men, and pouring them with the Six Ding Divine Fire."
That's enough.
Jia Chen bowed and said, "Your subject understands."
Don't challenge your opponents in areas you're unfamiliar with.
For Si Chen, people are far more precious than external things.
If we lack gunpowder, iron, and coke, how could we lack wood?
Si Chen rested in the camp for one night before returning the next day.
Xu Wenjue was tidying up his storeroom and dismissing the painters he usually kept.
Si Chen gave him a quota of two hundred warriors, which means he could support two hundred households.
In the end, only three embroiderers were retained. They never did any heavy work on a daily basis, just to maintain their skillful hands, and were responsible for Xu Wenjue's clothing.
And a chef, a master of harmonizing the five elements, who is said to be able to make dishes that glow.
The painters then found new jobs at the Palace of Saints.
People always have to succumb to reality.
Song Yingxing was busy tinkering with the wooden ox, comparing different types of wood, and modifying the outdated array inscriptions.
The explanation and teaching were conducted simultaneously.
This rather rudimentary workshop could produce twenty wooden oxen and fifty wooden horses every day.
This is already a huge improvement.
According to the plan, a separate area will be designated for the production of catalytic fast-growing wood species.
Recently, Song Yingxing has been feeling like someone is whispering in his ear. In a burst of inspiration, he saw a large blue bird soaring in his dream.
Cao Youyi is in charge of salt affairs, and in the past few days, he has started to reduce the number of people at the Changlu Saltworks, because most of the staff have gone to the Tiangong Institute.
The three men, dressed in yellow (Ding Si), black (Ding You), and white (Ding Wei), freed themselves from their trivial matters and began recruiting Taoist priests from the Liesheng Palace. Now that they were on the right track, they could no longer act hastily as before.
In short, we will expand the workforce and eliminate the need for temporary workers.
Si Chen has already made the arrangements.
All official documents should be simplified to the point that everyone can understand them at a glance.
Any opaque policy leaves loopholes for corrupt officials.
Forcibly pushing plain language.
I also picked up the Great Edicts left over from the time of Zhu Yuanzhang. Many of them contain case law, which can be used in conjunction with the Female Qingtian Law.
Jiazi led his followers to carry out daily routines of cleaning up the rat people, driving away the night thugs, and absorbing refugees.
One harsh winter, without the government's disaster relief, most of the able-bodied men were lost, and plague struck, causing many to freeze to death, leaving families broken and people dead.
Just then, Si Chen received a document offering surrender.
It comes from Da Shun and was written by Li Zicheng himself.
He was appointed Imperial Preceptor!
