It's just that in Li Xinchen's opinion, suddenly recruiting Pei Yi as the marching Sima of the rear army, Xiao Maha must not only fancy Pei Yi's ability, but more likely to fall on Pei Zilie, thinking of this, Li Xinchen couldn't help sighing, let Pei Zilie be ruthless to deal with Xiao Maha, Li Xinchen still has this ability, but let him deal with his father, it is really too embarrassing for Pei Zilie.

If it was Li Cheng who appeared on the other side, Li Xinchen wouldn't dare to ask himself.

Filial piety comes first, even if it is war and troubled times, this is also an era of filial piety. If it weren't for the maintenance of filial piety, the entire social program would have been completely chaotic, and that time would be the real terrible chaos.

As if sensing why the expression on Li Xinchen's face was indifferent, Pei Zilie smiled bitterly: "Shizhong, believe me, I will do my best." ”

Li Xinchen was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't let you go, but it's a pity that ······."

The smile on Li Xinchen's face gradually converged, and he was a little more helpless. And Pei Zilie frowned: "What's the pity?" ”

"It's a pity that you and Boqing are both my good brothers, and this time I can only let one of you not face such a situation," Li Xinchen sighed, "Compared to Boqing, you are more mature, and I believe you will do better than him." ”

"You're doing the right thing," Pei Zilie said bluntly, looking back at the sparkling flowing water, "Anyway, there are always some problems to face in this life, and we will solve these problems, which is better than making Boqing embarrassed, not to mention the soldiers, I'm afraid the general himself doesn't want to see it." ”

Li Xinchen was silent, just bowing slightly.

Xiao Maha didn't want to see it, but could Xiao Maha really represent everyone's will, but would the Gonggon princes above the clouds in Jiankang Mansion really watch Li Xinchen and Xiao Maha live in peace?

Li Xinchen is not so naïve, when the conflict of interests between the two sides is fierce to a certain extent, Xiao Maha himself may also take the initiative.

In this troubled world, the so-called blood and family affection are all under the condition of being able to guarantee interests and ensure that they can live a better life.

It's brutal, but it's realistic.

Pei Zilie looked at Li Xinchen's expression and sighed softly, he knew what Li Xinchen was worried about, as the leader of a group and a person destined to become a king in the future, he had to consider some issues that should not have been considered by people of this age now.

From Jiankang Mansion to outside this Fangling City, Pei Zilie can be said to have watched Li Xinchen grow step by step from a young man with only ambitions to an unborn hero in the mouth of others.

Pei Zilie knew that Li Xinchen was not a hero, but in order to lead these civil and military officers, these soldiers and ordinary people under his command to live hard, he must learn to think and plan like a hero.

It's very tiring like this, but no one can replace Li Xinchen, because Li Xinchen can't and won't allow himself to become a person like Chen Shubao.

"Shizhong, the Thunderbolt is really effective when attacking the city," Pei Zilie decisively changed the topic, and the only topic he could talk about was the military, "But just having the Thunderbolt is not enough, we also need more smaller trebuchets to play a better role." At the same time, although the number of stone bullets is relatively large, but the weight is different, and each time it needs to be re-debugged, otherwise it is easy to cause unnecessary waste, and it is even possible to throw the stone bullets on your own heads. ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, these situations were expected. If a behemoth like a thunderbolt wants to operate, it needs a complete system, from finding stones, carrying stones to throwing, it is definitely not a job that one person or seven or eight people can do.

Li Xinchen slowly squatted down, holding a pebble in his hand, the surface of which was smooth after millions of years of washing. Pei Zilie was a little surprised and squatted down, looking at the pebbles in Li Xinchen's hand, but he really didn't see anything famous.

"Polishing the stone bullets," Li Xinchen casually threw away the pebbles and clapped his hands, "Let Wu Bing formulate five standards that can distinguish the size of the stones based on experience, record the angle and force that should be required for these standard stone bullets to be thrown, polish the stone bullets of different sizes into stone bullets of each standard, and throw them according to the standards." ”

Pei Zilie was stunned for a moment, and roughly understood what Li Xinchen meant. In fact, he has not seen this kind of thinking, in the workshop in Shuzhong, the blades and equipment created also have similar standards, such as bows and crossbows, which will accurately distinguish the range and service life of bows and crossbows. In particular, Li Xinchen's production in the Shuzhong workshop is in the form of assembly lines, which makes it easier to achieve standards.

Obviously, now Li Xinchen intends to carry out this method of setting standards in the army.

That's a good idea.

Seeing Pei Zilie hurriedly say goodbye and then head towards the baggage camp, Li Xinchen smiled slightly. Pei Zilie's mind is still on the march and fighting after all, but this is also a good thing for Li Xinchen, if Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie insist on controlling the local power, Li Xinchen is actually difficult to refuse, but obviously the two of them have no such interest.

Or maybe they wouldn't be stupid enough to talk to Li Xinchen about this kind of thing.

As for the stone projectiles of trebuchets······ Li Xinchen has now tried his best to implement the production and management concepts of later generations, especially this kind of overall thinking, and wants to make these workshops under his command have higher production efficiency and product quality than other people's workshops, and only in this way can Li Xinchen achieve the purpose of confronting the enemy by equipping more advanced blades and equipment.

It is very difficult to fundamentally change people's thinking, especially the thinking that has been ingrained for thousands of years, and the influence of Li Xinchen's words and two sentences is naturally difficult to compare with the ideas that have been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds, thousands of years, and generations, but he believes that when his thinking shows its advantages, these craftsmen, generals, and officials will also know the importance of it.

At least now that Li Xinchen can use his strength to push everything forward, it is enough, and the rest will be proved by time.

"If it weren't for this troubled world, I really wanted to be a good farmer in the wilderness and live this life with peace of mind." Li Xinchen stretched his waist, muttered to himself, and immediately drew his horsewhip and beckoned to the guards, "Let's go back to the city!" ”

Because he knows that whether it is now or in the future, he no longer has such a choice. When the haze of troubled times pressed on Li Xinchen's head, when those damned Zhou people drove out the innocent villagers······

Li Xinchen is already destined to have nowhere to escape.
