Wang Mi nodded and stared at him curiously: "Do you like using spears like this?"

"If you find that the spear is not as useful as the long halberd, wouldn't you suffer a loss?"

Liu Yu waved his hand, not believing it at all.

"How is this possible!"

"Others don't know the power of the spear. I'm really using it and have a personal experience. Besides, the spear is given to me by Secretary Wang, how could Secretary Wang's vision be wrong?"

These words were so heartbreaking that Wang Mi couldn't help but blushed a little.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yu, you a stout man with a square head and a big face, can be so lively and fragrant when flattering him.

"You can't believe in me, you still have to believe in the power of the spear."

"Ji Nu, now you and the soldiers under your command are very important to me. As the chief general of the first army, General Xie always has more concerns. He should pay attention to the pros and cons. You know, right?" Wang Mi raised his eyebrows and hinted.

Understand?

What do you know?

Liu Yu felt that what Wang Mi asked him to understand was not the same thing as what he thought.

"I understand, I understand!" No matter whether he really understands it or fake it, he must not let Secretary Wang be distracted.

"So, the soldiers you command are the only ones in the Northern Palace Army who use spears in a unified manner. You must achieve good results so that General Xie can make up his mind to replace the long halberd with spears."

This is very important. Wang Mi reminded him very seriously. Liu Yu himself is very skilled in martial arts. He is not worried. However, it is obviously not enough to build Xie Xuan's confidence to rely solely on Liu Yu's victory.

To improve combat effectiveness, the entire team must be improved at the same time, so as to prove to Xie Xuan that Liu Yu can achieve such achievements not only because of his outstanding personal abilities, but also because he used the latest weapons.

Liu Yu patted his chest and said cheerfully: "I understand, this matter is for me!"

Liu Yu made a promise, but then thought of another thing.

"So what about those stirrups?"

"According to my personal experience, if the spear wants to exert its best power, it must be equipped with double stirrups. However, in the North Mansion, there are still many soldiers who are reluctant to use single stirrups, let alone let them all replace them with double stirrups!"

What Liu Yu said is the real situation in the army now, and the change of consciousness is not so easy.

"The double stirrup matter is not urgent." Wang Mi said regretfully. If he could do it quickly, he would not want to distribute all kinds of equipment overnight.

Unfortunately, the current productivity is this virtue, and huge expenditures, which are all issues that have to be considered.

To be fair, the financial situation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has always been very scattered, with constant wars and disputes in the country, strong foreign enemies, and internal rebels are also rising one after another, with strong strength.

Under frequent wars, the tax revenue of the central court was not guaranteed and the national treasury was not sufficient. In addition, all the major families divided their own spheres of influence. Within their scope, what they said was better than what the imperial court said.

tax?

The money we earn is produced and sold by ourselves, what does it have to do with the court?

Among the poems, songs and allusions that have been passed down for thousands of years, the aristocratic families are all elegant people with well-dressed and moderate manners.

But in fact, their true face in history is not so ideal.

Generally speaking, aristocratic families often hold certain personal arms in their hands, the scientific name is called "Tribe".

The soldiers of the village followed the orders of the aristocratic families and had no contact with the court at all. They restricted the refugees to their own land, submerged their household registration, and forced them to become children.

After these landless villagers became children, they became the private property of the aristocratic family, working for the aristocratic family all day long. Whether it is a farm or an orchard, there are troops around them. It is a dream to escape!

The items produced by these children's guests are of course owned by the aristocratic families, and the wealth created by the children's guests cannot be handed over to the court.

This is the basic situation faced by the Eastern Jin Dynasty. By the time of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Jiangnan region had been fully developed, with a dense population and a developed trade.

In the overall society, there is no shortage of money. However, because the economy of the aristocratic family manors was extremely developed, they occupied money, grain and population, which made the Jin Dynasty court, as a public, not much money.

The forces surrounding financial power, military power, aristocratic families and royal families can be said to have risen and fallen, and influence each other.

The richer the aristocratic families are, the less they take the imperial court and the Sima family seriously. Each aristocratic family is rich and has a strong back.

The harder the aristocratic family is, the more unable to control them. Facing the poor treasury, they can only sigh at the money.

This is what the Sima family did, allowing the aristocratic family to plunder money in the local area. At least they are proud and will defend the Sima family. If they are unsatisfied, the fate will be tragic. Just look at Wang Dun.

The financial difficulties are also reflected in the use of troops. I won’t talk about the Jingzhou soldiers, because they have been local troops under the control of the Huan family for a long time and the court cannot control them at all. Most of the military pay for the Jingzhou soldiers is solved by the Huan family.

However, this situation does not apply to the Northern Mansion soldiers. When Xie Xuan led the formation of this army, the Xie clan's positioning of the Northern Mansion was quite clear.

The Xie family only controls the troops, but this troops are nominally loyal to the court. Behind the loyalty of the Northern Palace also means that all the expenses of the Northern Palace are not solved by the Xie family.

Now the scale of the Northern Mansion soldiers has been expanding and their equipment has become more and more excellent. In terms of finance, they have become increasingly dependent on the court.

In ancient times, building iron weapons was a perfect money-burning business. It was enough to replace the long halberd with a spear.

You should know that there are still many soldiers in the Beifu that are not equipped with stirrups at all. These soldiers are complacent and are still proud of their superb martial arts.

In the eyes of these soldiers, they only think that stirrups are auxiliary tools for getting on horseback, and those generals who need to step on stirrups are almost equal to waste.

Stirrups are also made of pig iron. It is conceivable that from no stirrups, they have suddenly become equipped with double stirrups. This step is really a bit big.

Funds are burning!

"The war is imminent, and we can't make so many stirrups in a short period of time. You can use that stirrup yourself first. I'll go to the blacksmith in the workshop to discuss it and make a pair of them for Brother Tan."

"Very good!"

"Secretary Wang is really thoughtful."

Liu Yu was overjoyed. On this day, because he had a good baby, but he didn't have one, Tan Pingzhi complained a lot.

Not to mention, because of killing Liang Yun, Liu Yu became a general, but Tan Pingzhi was still a team leader because of his handsome performance of being a hammer on the left and right.

After getting off the battlefield, Tan Pingzhi gritted his teeth and asked himself that he had not become a general. It was not his own problem at all, because he did not get the best equipment!

The soldiers of the Northern Palace did not believe in Wang Mi's ability because they had no eyes, but Tan Pingzhi was as convinced by Wang Mi like Liu Yu.

What Secretary Wang gives must be a good treasure! Having it will definitely be like a tiger with wings!

It was because he did not add these wings that the northern tiger did not soar into the sky!

"That's true. You are your own people. Of course you have good things to take care of yourself. Yesterday, it was too time to go out."

With a whisper of his own, Liu Yu's tears were forced out.

He looked at Wang Mi with tears in his eyes, and he couldn't finish his words of thanks. His sincere appearance made Wang Mi feel sad.

You said if you believe him, you would think that the two of you would have to break up in the future, but you wouldn't dare to have this idea at all.

If you choose not to believe him, you will be suspicious of ruthlessness.

Good, good!

If a person does not punish himself, he will be moved, so that he can be better used for me.

"But, Ji Nu, don't be too proud. There are many people in the military camp who are hiding bad intentions. You have achieved military achievements in the first battle now. There must be many people who don't like it."

"Be careful!"

Liu Yu looked at him in confusion: "Secretary Wang's meaning, someone wants to harm me?"

What expression does he have?

Don't believe it yet?

"Personality is annoying, Ji Nu, you are the most proud person in this military camp now. Think about it, there will definitely be someone who can't swallow this."

Liu Yu's head turned around and said that there were too many people I offended. If you think about it carefully, everyone is suspicious. Where should you be careful?

However, just when Wang Mi was worried that someone with ulterior motives would stumbling his beloved Xiao Yuyu, he had already been sued for a slander.
