ps: Correction later...

Cao Liang was very satisfied with Cao Fu's management, so even if he returned to Luoyang this time, he was not prepared to interfere too much with Cao Fu's management. All business would still be handled by Cao Fu.

Over at the farm, Agui became the new manager.

The Cao family farm is the most important production base of the Cao family. All five stone powders are produced here. In addition, the manufacturing of crossbows has not stopped. The original manufactured inventory has been transported to the Bingzhou front line by Cao Liang, so

The farm began to mass-produce repeating crossbows again.

Although the agricultural production of the farm has reached the point of insignificance, in order to hide from others, the farm still has to plant food and vegetables step by step. Otherwise, the farm will not produce food or grow vegetables, and people will not suspect that there is a ghost in it.

The former steward of the farm was transferred to the Gaoling Marquis Mansion and became the steward, so Cao Liang arranged for Cao Gui to be the steward of the farm. The two close servants around Cao Liang at the time have now become Cao Liang's right-hand man financially, maintaining the

It is responsible for the operation of such a huge economic group that is extremely wealthy.

On the third day after Cao Liang arrived home, he rushed to the farm in person to inspect.

Now the farm has become quite prosperous. After Cao Gui became the steward of the farm, he purchased several adjacent pieces of land. Now the scale of the Cao family farm is several times larger than before.

They were armed, formed a guard team of servants, and set up checkpoints to guard. In the past, some people with ulterior motives could still spy on the periphery of the farm. Now that the land on the periphery also belongs to the Cao family, it is already difficult for them to set foot on it.

As the core part of the Cao family farm, outsiders are not allowed to enter. Even the servants who serve as peripheral guards cannot enter the core area without permission.

In this way, no matter what is done in the core area, no one outside will know.

Cao Gui's caution is justified. After all, building and hiding such a large amount of ordnance is a serious violation of court laws. Once reported by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be serious.

Therefore, Wushi Powder can be produced here in a big way, but Liannu cannot. It can only be made secretly. But from the outside, it will not arouse too much suspicion from others. After all, Wushi Powder can be made by using Wushi Powder.

Wu Shi Powder was used as an excuse, and the Cao Family Farm was so heavily guarded to prevent outsiders from stealing the formula of Wu Shi Powder.

Cao Liang admired Cao Gui's preventive measures. The managers of the farm must need people like A Gui, who are both bold and careful, who think things through carefully and plan in an orderly manner. Cao Gui and Cao Fu are two people.

Mainly inside and one outside, it really makes Cao Liang worry a lot.

In order to equip the Pingbei Army, Cao Liang emptied almost all the serial crossbows in the farm. Now Cao Gui has arranged manpower to continue to build serial crossbows. Now the inventory of serial crossbows has returned to half of the previous number.

, according to the current production speed, I believe that it will not be long before the inventory of Liannu can be restored to its original quantity.

Compared with simply producing Lian Nu, Cao Liang is now more concerned about how to build a Lian Nu team. Now the situation in Luoyang has become very sensitive. The Sima family's coup may really happen in advance. Lian Nu hides

In the cellar, it is a dead thing after all. If you want to be truly effective, you must cultivate a team that can control repeating crossbows.

This team must be formed in the name of the servants, and the scale cannot be too large. The servants are used to guard the homes and homes. No matter what weapons they are equipped with, no one will have any problems with a team of two to three hundred people.

question.

But no matter how many people there are, it is hard to say why the Sima family secretly cultivated three thousand dead soldiers. This is obviously far beyond the regulations of the court. Once it is verified, the charge of rebellion of the Sima family will be confirmed, and Sima Yi will immediately kill him.

Landed.

Therefore, the Sima family was very secretive in the matter of the dead soldiers, and no one could catch them. Even if Cao Liang knew the existence of these three thousand dead soldiers, it would be in vain if he could not get evidence.

Therefore, even if he knew the truth, Cao Liang had to keep his mouth shut. He had never revealed such information to anyone. Without real evidence to report, it would be easy for someone to lie and be accused of corruption.

If you sue for treason, but find no evidence, the reporter will be revolted. In the Gaoping Ling Incident, Huan Fan shouted loudly at the city gate that Sima Yi had rebelled, and was eventually killed by Sima Yi.

Therefore, Cao Liang must learn from Sima Yi when doing things. At least he cannot be caught with any excuses. Cao Liang does not dare to expect three thousand dead soldiers, but it should be difficult to form a team of three to five hundred people.

It's not big.

Cao Liang had previously organized a team of more than 200 people, but when he recruited troops in Hedong, he lacked manpower, so Cao Liang simply recruited these more than 200 people, along with 200 repeating crossbows, to the Pingbei Army.

This crossbow unit played an important role in several battles with the Huns and Xianbei people.

However, this team has now been incorporated into the Shesheng Battalion and cannot return to Luoyang. Therefore, after Cao Liang arrived at the farm, the first request he made to Cao Gui was to reorganize a company of crossbows.

Come.

Cao Guidai told Cao Liang that he had not rested in the past few years. He had trained and trained many repeating crossbowmen. They used the name of servants to guard the farm. In fact, they used repeating crossbowmen.

The technique is already very proficient and can be used at any time whenever Cao Liang needs it.

Moreover, the size of this team has reached 200 people. Even if there are not so many repeating crossbows at present, at least the staffing is complete enough.

Cao Gui's arrangement made Cao Liang very happy. After all, it is much more difficult to train a repeating crossbowman than to train an archer. Archers are easy to operate and can be competent if they can draw the bow. But the repeating crossbowman is different. Bijing repeating crossbow can

It is said to be one of the most complex weapons and equipment in this era. It is difficult to control such a sophisticated weapon in just a few years.

Seeing that the coup is imminent, it would be a bit rushed to train repeating crossbowmen now. Cao Liang has been busy fighting on the front line and has neglected this matter long ago. Now that he wants to do it, he feels that it is a bit late, but

Unexpectedly, Cao Gui actually thought ahead and handled the matter beautifully, which made Cao Liang very happy. It seems that he really chose the right person for these two positions. Indeed
