The Three Great Han Dynasties: Awaken Liu Bei with a scolding; you weave mats and sell sandals.

[Name: Bo Cai]

Age: 17

[Official Rank: First-Class Military Commander]

[Fortune: Bright Red]

[Destiny Chart: Seven Killings and Broken Army, fierce and brave, a renowned general]

……

Seeing this miraculous effect that defied the heavens and changed fate, Liu Hong couldn't help but nod: "Auspicious fortune and the destiny of a famous general. Only now can my Liu family truly have a commander."

While 500,000 points of luck value is not a small amount, Liu Hong can manage it with his current reserves.

He had previously bestowed titles upon his cousin Liu Yuanqi and his nephew Liu Zongran.

With the addition of Bo Cai, the Liu family's foundation has become even more solid.

Liu Yuanqi and his son Liu Zongran.

The original destiny and fate were white, which was the extreme among ordinary people, but white is still white.

Only after being granted the imperial title did the two reach the highest rank, thus enabling them to defy fate and change their destiny.

One person served as the county magistrate, while the other became a garrison general commanding about three hundred men, and could be called a garrison commander.

Military officer ranks, from lowest to highest, are: Captain leading 100 men, Garrison Commander leading 300 men, and Military Rank Commander leading 600 men.

The position of squad leader was that of a low-ranking officer in history, when Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong while the wine was still warm.

The garrison commander was usually a man of great strength, and those above the rank of military officer could almost be considered a reserve echelon of mid-level officers.

Above the military commander is the separate commander, who can lead a thousand men and be called a division of troops.

Historical records show that many generals who led troops in the future held this position, just like Liu Bei in the historical timeline, who also served as a separate commander. This shows the importance of this position.

The difference in one's destiny and fate will also lead to significant differences in the amount of destiny value consumed during the conferment of titles.

Based on Liu Hong's current experience, the minimum amount of luck value consumed when bestowing a title from white to yellow is 10,000 points, and the higher the official rank, the more luck value is consumed; the minimum amount of luck value consumed when bestowing a title from yellow to red is 100,000 points, and similarly, the higher the official rank, the more luck value is consumed.

Although there were quite a few people with golden luck and destiny in the Liu family of Zhuo County, it was only after careful consideration that it was discovered that...

There are so many opportunities to utilize people.

First of all, Liu Hong, as the son of the crown prince, was a man of noble birth who would not risk his life under a dangerous roof, and would never charge into battle or stand on the front lines unless absolutely necessary.

Secondly, although Master Cui Yan was skilled in military strategy, he now held a position in the Liu family as a teacher with countless students. Even if he wanted to go to the battlefield, Liu Hong would absolutely forbid it.

This person will be able to train countless military officers in the future. They may not become famous generals, but a large number of junior officers will still be of paramount importance to the Liu family.

Furthermore, his son Liu Bei, also known as Liu Xuande, is the "Crown Prince" recorded on the panel. As the saying goes, a son of a noble family should not sit under a dangerous roof unless absolutely necessary.

Xu Shu, who was the remaining strategist, was a chivalrous warrior, but he was definitely not the right person to command troops.

Not to mention Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they could be generals now, but they would never be commanders.

The two people in front of him were exactly what Liu Hong wanted to do, filling a long-standing gap in the Liu family.

"I wonder if I'll have any better luck."

The carriage procession set off again.

This time, the speed of travel on the official road was noticeably slower.

There were several thousand refugees in the vicinity just now, nearly a third of whom were dependent on the Liu family.

However, Liu Hong was not in a hurry. Among these people, nearly a quarter could be used to replenish his manpower for the upcoming three thousand Imperial Guards advancement mission, which would probably be at least several hundred people.

They will be the next batch of volunteers and the next armed force after the Liu family of Zhuojun.

……

Youzhou Youbeiping Commandery.

Su Shuang looked at the dozens of guards surrounding her, and then, as if cherishing a lover, carefully stroked the sword at her waist, a hint of intoxication appearing on her face.

"Steel forged a hundred times can be called hundred-forged steel. Such weapons can be forged in the blink of an eye for our lord."

In the present Guanghe era.

Hundred-fold forged steel has existed for a long time, but its production is extremely low, and it is almost exclusively used to forge the most advanced weapons.

Back in the Liu family's fortress manor in Zhuo County, Liu Hong used precision machining techniques and high-temperature quenching and tempering methods to change the power source from manual blowers to water pumps, and also established simple operating standards.

For example, folding and forging ten times is required to make one piece. In pursuit of accuracy and stability in the process, a small-scale steel industry system of hundreds of forgings was barely formed.

God knows.

To ensure that hundreds of members of the Liu family possessed weapons made of hundred-fold steel, how much silver did it cost him, and what fortune was required for the imperial decree?

If the craftsman's skills are not up to standard.

No matter how much Liu Hong explained the methods, it would be virtually impossible to implement this process from scratch.

So even though he completed many tasks, the Liu family's stored silver and the remaining luck value on his panel were still not much.

As the head of the Liu family in Zhuo County, he was known as "Lord Liu" and had to manage countless people and affairs.

Today's scale will be ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times or ten thousand times in the future. Even if Liu Hong can't hold on no matter how hard he tries, he has to hold on to the death.

Therefore, we must never waste most of our good fortune on bestowing titles upon people like Liu Bei and Xu Shu, whose destinies are already incredibly auspicious.

Compared to individual strength, the vast foundation of the entire force is the true basis for the Liu family of Zhuoxian to soar to new heights in the future.

"Sir, the lord has said that this hundred-forged steel should never be used outside unless absolutely necessary."

One of the comrades behind him cautiously reminded him.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Su Shuang laughed after hearing this, and did not blame her, but simply nodded slightly.

At this point, there are no outsiders; everyone is simply taking good care of themselves.

Seeing that Su Shuang was listening, the comrade did not say anything more.

Having one or two hundred-times-forged steel weapons is acceptable if one is a member of the Han imperial family, but having a dozen or more would be a big problem. One should be extremely cautious when dealing with such matters outside the capital.

Gradually, the Liu family's banner became increasingly visible.

On the distant official road, the slightly older, burly man with a thick beard caught their eye and rode up on horseback with great enthusiasm.

As two figures approached from the front and back, Su Shuang immediately became wary. Dozens of her followers behind her also rode up to surround her, and the group of wandering knights and guards adopted a defensive and combat stance.

"Who goes there?"

Su Shuang asked loudly.

"There's a misunderstanding, sir."

Zhao Feng immediately spoke up, fearing that he might incur enmity for no reason, "My brother and I saw the design of the flag and came here specifically to find the Liu family."

The purpose of this trip is to visit the Liu family's private school and to secure a good future for my younger brother.

Su Shuang glanced at the boy behind the man, whose age was indeed suitable, and waved her arm to dismiss the guards, but still gripped the hilt of her sword tightly. She then said, "My lord Liu has now been enfeoffed as a Marquis within the Pass and holds a powerful position in Zhuojun. He is currently on his way to Zhuojun. We can discuss the private school matter again tomorrow."

"If you two brothers are interested, you may go directly to Zhuojun and find out where my Liu family lives with a little inquiry."
