The Three Kingdoms: Steamed Buns and Pickled Cabbage, I Became the Emperor

Chapter 32: Chasing the World
"We still need to work harder to earn more reputation points."

Ye Chen took a look at the little reputation value left and couldn't help feeling a sense of urgency.

Want to earn reputation points as quickly as possible.

It was just like taking over Jiangdu County.

It would be best to win over the hearts of the people in your territory and develop them into Taiping Dao believers.

Only in this way can you continue to gain reputation points.

The next day, early in the morning.

Cheng Yu rushed to the county government office and reported to Ye Chen about the Yellow Turban Army's recruitment of soldiers.

But when he arrived at the county government office, he did not see Ye Chen.

"Is the lord not here?"

Cheng Yu asked the soldiers around Ye Chen in confusion.

"Sir, the lord went out early in the morning with Captain Lin and others."

"He said that if you come to look for him, you can go to the blacksmith shop in the county town to find him."

The personal soldier said while bowing.

"Blacksmith shop??"

Cheng Yu frowned, glanced at his personal soldiers, and didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, when I meet Ye Chen, I will know what kind of lawsuit my master is dealing with.

It didn't take long.

Cheng Yu came to the blacksmith shop.

When he saw Ye Chen, he was attracted by the black iron armor that Ye Chen was wearing.

"My Lord, what are you doing?"

"Haha, sir, you are finally here!"

Ye Chen was wearing a set of pitch-black iron armor. When he saw Cheng Yu coming, he pulled him over to see the armor.

"My Lord, what are you wearing?"

This set of black iron armor is usually only equipped by the Han Dynasty's imperial guards. This is top-level protective equipment.

This is not something that ordinary soldiers can wear, but it is something that generals leading an army can wear.

My lord, where did you get this set of black iron armor?

Could it be that he robbed the general of the Imperial Guard? ?

"Ha ha!"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and explained when he saw Cheng Yu's puzzled look.

"I just ordered the blacksmith to make this. Take a look. What do you think?"

"Ok??"

"Just made?"

Cheng Yu looked at Ye Chen in surprise.

"My lord, could it be that Mi Fang has obtained the pig iron?"

Nowadays, all aspects of government affairs in Jiangdu County must go through Cheng Yu’s hands.

As for Mi Fang, he even sent people to keep an eye on him every day.

If Mi Fang really got the pig iron.

There is no reason for me to not know any news!

Ye Chen’s statement just came out.

This really surprised Cheng Yu.

"My Lord, how much pig iron did Mi Fang bring this time?"

Cheng Yu asked following Ye Chen's words.

Let’s not worry about how Mi Fang got the pig iron without telling him.

After all, it has been obtained now.

With pig iron, we can make armor and weapons.

This way.

With the equipment, the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army will inevitably be greatly improved.

"Mi Fang??"

"I asked God for this fine iron!"

"It was specially gifted by God to us, the followers of Tianping Dao."

Cheng Yu: “…”

Ye Chen's words made him not know what to say.

to be frank.

He has always been skeptical about Ye Chen's ability to communicate with heaven.

He disagreed with the Yellow Turban Army's slogan "The Blue Sky is dead, the Yellow Sky should be established, the year is Jiazi, and the world is blessed with good fortune."

In his opinion.

The Yellow Turban Army’s slogans, beliefs, etc.

They are all just looking for an excuse to rebel.

Although he still didn't understand how Ye Chen managed to produce so much food like a magic trick.

But in his heart, he still had deep doubts about the Yellow Turban Army and the Taiping Dao.

"hehe!"

"You may not believe it if I tell you!"

"God was very generous this time."

"I gave you 2000 kilograms of refined iron!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen pointed in the direction of the blacksmith shop.

“Aren’t they all placed here?”

I saw iron ingots neatly stacked on the open space of the blacksmith shop.

Cheng Yu was completely stunned.

To know.

Today's iron mines are either in the hands of princes or controlled by aristocratic families.

They, the Yellow Turban Army, wanted to obtain pig iron.

Or you can exchange it through Mi Fang.

Or just rob it. These two are impossible to happen.

Then there is only one possibility left.

Everything Ye Chen said was true.

This is truly a reward from God to these Taipingdao believers.

2000 kilograms of iron!
It's not pig iron yet.

Instead, with a little processing, it can be made into fine iron for armor.

A suit of armor weighs 30 kilograms.

These two thousand kilograms are equivalent to more than sixty sets of armor.

Cheng Yu looked at the iron ingots piled on the ground and forced himself to calm down.

Then he spoke to Ye Chen in a very serious tone.

"My Lord, I want to join the Taiping Dao now!"

"Do you think it's still in time?"

Ye Chen: "..."

In just a few words.

Cheng Yu's three views were reshaped.

If it is said that Ye Chen is not the spokesperson designated by God.

Who else could it be?

Otherwise, how to explain how so much fine iron appeared out of thin air?

This is a full two thousand kilograms of fine iron!
Now Ye Chen says that he is God's illegitimate son.

Cheng Yu believed it without a doubt.

Only a father can give so much without expecting anything in return!

How much refined iron does the Han Dynasty have in stock today?
Don’t say anything else.

I’m afraid that the entire Jiangyin County cannot produce so much fine iron at once.

"Mr. Zhongde, calm down, calm down!"

Ye Chen patted Cheng Yu on the shoulder.

Let him calm down and relax.

of course.

He also knew that it was difficult to take out so much fine iron at once.

How big of an impact would it have on Cheng Yu?

This is like suddenly giving 100 million to a poor person in the future.

And told him to spend whatever he wanted.

Hearing Ye Chen’s words.

Then look at the blacksmith in the blacksmith shop who is making armor.

Cheng Yu also wanted to calm down.

But it's really impossible.

A full two thousand kilograms of fine iron.

What a concept!
The iron armor worn by the generals leading the troops in the Han Dynasty.

They are usually fish scale armor.

Fish scale armor is a type of armor made by casting fine iron into iron sheets and stringing them together.

Can effectively block damage from swords and knives.

Let's talk about defense.

Compared with all-iron heavy armor, it is not even a little bit worse.

The only advantage is that it consumes less refined iron.

The man's fish scale armor consumed only about ten pounds of fine iron.

If 2000 kilograms of fine iron were all made into fish scale armor.

That's more than a hundred suits of armor.

Use these more than one hundred pieces of fish scale armor to equip the army.

Even when facing two to three times the number of troops, they can still take the initiative to charge.

in fact.

In the Han Dynasty, it was considered good for an ordinary soldier to have a set of leather armor.

I want armor.

At the very least, he must be a general who can lead troops into battle.

The entire army is covered in armor, which is an unattainable dream.

"hehe!"

Ye Chen looked at Cheng Yu's stunned expression and smiled faintly.

"Maybe there will be more fine iron in the future!"

At this time, Cheng Yu also slowly came to his senses.

He bowed respectfully to Ye Chen and said sincerely.

"My lord is truly a god!!"

Create fine iron out of thin air.

If this isn’t a god, then what is a god?
Nowadays, due to the Han Dynasty's control over salt and iron, it is already very difficult to get a hundred kilograms of refined iron.

With these 2000 kilograms of fine iron.

I dare not say that I will secede from this area.

At the very least, we can safely hold on to Jiangdu County without any further problems.

According to what Ye Chen meant.

There will be more refined iron in the future.

In this way, you can slowly develop for a year or two, train soldiers, and build armor.

Maybe in the future, the Yellow Turban Army will really have the final say in Jiangyin County.

And Ye Chen who occupied Jiangyin County.

They will also become real lords.

You can officially obtain the qualifications to compete for the world.
