Arrows kill people by sharp arrows, but in the Qin and Han dynasties, metallurgical technology has made rapid progress, and mass production of arrows is no longer a unique process for small workshops.

However, the speed of improvement in the production technology of arrow shafts is still so desperate.

In the era when there were no lathes, even if the best wood was not used, the wood had to be straightened, dried, counterweighted and other processes to get a qualified arrow shaft, and then painted and anti-corrosion was required to be preserved.

It can be said that this craft is not too difficult, but it is difficult for ordinary carpenter apprentices to make qualified products.

Build arrows and logging, but logging is tiring. Most of the soldiers of the Cao army are a group of military farming soldiers. The purpose of joining the army is just to make a living. Who is willing to cut wood in the cold wind and then come back to fill the stomach with some brown rice.

Cao's army's production progress was extremely slow, and most of the arrows were obtained from the original warehouse of the Jingzhou army.

In order to prevent the Jingzhou army from stealing, Cao's army had long replaced all the soldiers in the warehouse with Central Army soldiers, but what they never expected was that the Central Army also joined the ranks of the custodial guards and stealing.

There is no way, there are so many people who give.

In the night, they spontaneously went to the treasury to get a large number of arrows, most of which were holding them with difficulty, and a small number of officers drove the ox cart. This scene made Guan Ping feel a little shocked and a little uneasy.

Even if the army of more than 100,000 people was set up as generals, Cao Cao himself would not be able to recognize the specific generals under his jurisdiction, not to mention the chief of Qu who was in charge of hundreds of people and the chief of the town who was in charge of dozens of people, etc.

Cao's army has always been chaotic in military discipline, so naturally it cannot cultivate a firm and upright grassroots force. Many small officials at the bottom were also exploited by the upper class, and this time they even directly joined the team of reselling supplies.

The car painted arrow shafts and even complete arrows were placed in front of Guan Ping. The soldiers of the Central Army spontaneously formed a warning and spontaneously maintained the transaction with Guan Ping.

The seemingly powerful Cao Cao's military discipline was corrupt, with distractions from top to bottom, constant internal strife, and ill and epidemics were rampant.

This tiger, which seemed difficult for outsiders to resist, is now staggering, and can only form a deterrent with the horrifying roars, making people think about his strength.

Guan Ping finally understood why Cao Cao forced the Eastern Expedition to fight his own side under such circumstances.

There was no way. Cao's army was invincible before, because Cao Cao promised to rob the city at will and make money together, so everyone was full of energy.

But this time I went south to Jingzhou and actually surrendered. These soldiers came from thousands of miles to miss the opportunity to make a fortune, so they naturally complained.

It is too unrealistic to expect a group of soldiers who are used to looting the city after the massacre of the city to abide by the law and follow Shangguan's command. These Cao army soldiers have long been accustomed to gaining wealth with their hard-working hands.

If we don’t make us rich, we have to find a way for ourselves.

Isn’t it just selling military supplies? What is it compared to massacre of the city?

"I want...100,000!"

Hundreds of thousands!

The atmosphere was obviously a bit weird, but no one exclaimed, as if everyone had considered this.

Bales of arrows were unloaded from the car and counted in the faint flames. Most of these arrows were still carrying arrowheads and feather tails. As long as there was a good bow, they would be the pioneer of killing people on the river.

But the entire transaction process was still in an orderly manner. These Cao army soldiers even lined up consciously, and those who had completed the delivery were still patrolling nearby. No one scolded this move, and it was even more rare than the soldiers who came to collect grain before. This hard-earned opportunity.

They cooperated so well that Ma Liang was very happy to give the money.

A single arrow was ten pieces, and even if the arrow was a little problem, Ma Liang paid as much as possible. Every time someone passed by, Guan Ping held his palm and sincerely thanked them for the convenience they provided.

"Thank you, thank you. General Jiale is in a hurry to suppress the thieves. With this thing, it can solve the urgent problem.

We will transport food in the future, and everyone can use this money to pay the bill."

"General, can you exchange these arrows with us directly with food...uh, wood." Some Cao army soldiers mustered up their courage to ask questions that they had asked many times before.

But this time, Guan Ping still rejected them.

"The war is in a hurry, I don't know when the next delivery will be.

But please believe that as long as Yunshan is not dead and as long as you are healthy, we will have opportunities in the future and will definitely help you make a fortune.

This time... it is related to the matter of reporting. Yun doesn’t have much money. Next time, you will collect as much as you have these woods.

Everyone, you must take good care of yourself.”

Guan Ping's strong northern accent made these veterans from Qingzhou very fond, and Guan Ping's business was very fair. Many arrows had been damaged due to improper preservation, but Guan Ping still paid quickly according to the condition.

They held the yellow Wuzhu coins and watched carefully under the faint light of the torch. Everyone's face was full of smiles.

It is the end of the 13th year of Jian'an. The last time I saw so much money seemed to be more than 20 years ago. Many veterans held the money and remembered their hard but peaceful life before the chaos in the world, and were speechless for a while.

This is the hard-earned money I got at the risk of my life, so of course I have to carry it with me. If I lose one and a half, it will be a loss to my grandma's house.

Overnight, all 100,000 arrows were delivered with the concerted efforts of Cao's army and Guan Ping's soldiers, which was amazingly efficient.

Such a big noise must have disturbed the patrol soldiers by the river.

They all came forward to join in the fun, watching the lively scene of buying and selling military funds curiously. Ma Liang was prepared to take out the money for selling cloth today and generously distributed it to the soldiers.

Everyone immediately smiled and praised Yunshan, and Ma Liang's kindness and righteousness.

These "woods" are so popular, Guan Ping was worried before that it would stimulate Cao Jun craftsmen's enthusiasm for logging.

But then I thought about it, if the speed of creating arrows was really so fast, my move would not be of use. And on the one hand, I was creating arrows for use, and on the other hand, I was creating wealth for myself. Most normal people should be able to make wise choices.

In the battle on the river, you can't pick up the arrows you shot. Guan Ping was full of expectations for Cao's performance in the future war.

By the way, there is one more thing.

Looking at the cheerful appearance of everyone, Guan Ping smiled and said, "Guan Ping has caused a lot of military supplies to burn the fire before, but if Prime Minister Cao counted and found that he had lost so many things, he would be embarrassed with you.

I would like to think of an idea for you, but I wonder what you mean?"

"The generals are all for the sake of their goodness, so they will naturally follow the general's orders."
