Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 644 Silver Silver
Regarding the Qingheyu training camp, an insider said:

"Let's not mention the government soldiers. An ordinary school lieutenant in the frontier army may not be able to beat a soldier in the Qingheyu training camp one-on-one. Back then, [-] soldiers slaughtered [-] Turkic elites, and even those [-] soldiers were sent back for further training. , These soldiers are the elite of the elite in the hands of the saints, and they claim that half of the army will destroy one hundred thousand."

Half an army is 1 people, and 1 people can destroy [-] enemy troops.

This kind of combat power is understood by everyone, it is a sharp weapon in the hands of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

Even the Ministry of War doesn't know the number of Shence Guards, let alone ordinary officials.

On both sides of the story, Cui Junsu didn't leave the imperial city at all, and went straight to the chief accountant's office after leaving the Taiji Hall, and only spoke five words to Liu Ruyu.

In five sentences, the account transfer plan for the silver household department, the general shipping department, and the four northern counties of the silver mine will be clarified next year.

After explaining clearly, Cui Junsu personally escorted the silver balls left by Qian Sui in the warehouse.

These silver balls are Zhen Guoyin in the former Sui Dynasty. It is said that there are hundreds of them. In fact, some of them have been secretly replaced by people. The outside is a layer of silver and the inside is lead.

Before cutting it open, the people in Daku couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake.

So Cui Junsu had to personally escort him to the North Four Counties, and then talk to Liu Mu about the most direct conversion method, which is to fold it in half, and then a silver ball will be converted into [-] coins.

As for the cost of the ordnance of Liumu Huayuan Workshop, let Liumu deduct from Shi Jianyinshan's income until enough is deducted.

However, the Ministry of Households must first prepare Zhen Guoyin worth no less than 100 million guan within one year.

Three days later, Cui Junsu came to Huayuan County.

Liumu's mint is in Huayuan.

Cui Junsu, as the Minister of the Household Department, came to Huayuan but was told that Liumu was in a restricted area, where no one could approach at any time unless the saint came personally, soldiers approached the city, and the world was turned upside down.

Right now, I can only send a letter in. It is unknown when Liu Mu will see it.

Cui Junsu was not in a hurry, and signaled to the officials who received him to arrange a resting place for him, and then arranged for someone to hand over the silver ball he brought, and then arranged for someone to discuss the accounts of the military equipment with the household officials he brought. A detailed list is also the final settlement statement.

After arriving at the resting place, Cui Junsu said to his master: "Remember, no one should wander around at any time except on official business. This Huayuan is not an ordinary place. If you break into a place you shouldn't go At least, you will stay here forever to work, and at worst, you will be dispatched to the mines and never see the light of day."

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

The ban in Huayuan County was announced by the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan when he was the emperor.

After Tang Emperor Li Shimin ascended the throne, he made this prohibition even stricter. Hua Yuan was drawn into three circles. Within the second circle, it was considered a restricted area, and non-central officials were not allowed to enter with the imperial order. The third circle No one is allowed to pass through the circle, even if there is a holy order.

In fact, there is a fourth circle among them, a fourth circle that even Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty didn't know about.

The most important thing in that circle right now is Liumu's artifact: the steam engine research and development center.

Liu Mu's attitude was that no matter how much money was thrown in, the steam engine was needed to complete the work.

The second key research has not yet officially started, and that is electricity, which is called lightning control in the research center, and it is still in the shallow trial stage of craftsmen at this time.

Liu Mu's knowledge of electricity is limited to high school, but for things like the telegraph, Liu Mu studied it when he was a soldier.

The electronic tube was not invented until after the radio was officially used.

The original radio was completed by coils of carbon rods, copper wires, magnets and other items.The wired telegraph is simpler. If there are dry batteries, a foot-long copper wire can make the simplest wired telegraph.

Liu Mu asked people to study this, but the reason why they didn't step up the research was that Liu Mu's telegram was for the railway service.

Cui Junsu waited in Huayuan for another three days before Liu Mu came out of the restricted area.

A new reciprocating micro-steam engine has been completed, and the initial operation feels good. This thing will run continuously for more than ten days. After the test, it will be considered for improvement and perfection. Liumu never thought that there would be a real industrial-grade steam engine this year. Being created, this thing is very difficult for Datang in this era.

The difficulty lies in the quality of steel, the difficulty in sealing, the difficulty in the relatively precise structure, and the difficulty in the continuous and thorough testing of each component.

Everything depends on constant experimentation, experimentation, and experimentation.

Cui Junsu didn't show any dissatisfaction when he saw Liu Mu, but said very politely: "Liu's son-in-law looks like he has been tired for many days."

"Well, the craftsmen worked harder than me." Liu Mu smiled and cupped his fists.

Cui Junsu never thought about asking Liu Mu what he was doing, even the Emperor of Tang Dynasty didn't come to inquire about everything here, he didn't want to break the taboo.

However, Huayuan's production is people's eyes.

Not to mention the new plow, but the plow and hoes have surprised many master craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry. It is not that the iron of the hoes is good, but that the willow hoes do not need to be sharpened. In daily work, the more the hoes are used, the sharper they are. The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry were convinced.

The principle is simple, that is, the iron on the front and back of the hoe is different, so the ground replaces the millstone when it is in use.

It sounds simple, but no one has actually thought of it, and no one dares to think about it.

This is just farm tools, Liumu's ordnance is terrible, and only those who have seen the terrifying power of the Little General's cannon can understand why Huayuan County is a restricted area.

Cui Junsu said straight to the point: "My son-in-law, you must already know about the silver ball. My opinion is that regardless of whether it is true or not, it will be converted in half, and there is no need to worry about who gets the advantage and who loses."

"Well, it's a trivial matter. The meat is rotten in the pot, and it's all Tang's inside and out." Liu Mu agreed without a second word.

Cui Junsu added: "Before I came here, I told Second Sister Ling that these silver balls are not enough to pay for the new military equipment in Gaochang, and the Ministry of Households also wants to add 100 million silver bricks worth of silver bricks to the town treasury next year. There is a change of clothes for the frontier army, all of which will cost money. Ishijian Shanzhong will take the poor part first."

"Okay, no problem. As long as you let me dig, I will let go. But there is a sentence mentioned earlier, the Ministry of Households dare not think that my place is a cornucopia, let alone a silver mine, even a gold mountain needs a hoe. They were dug out with hoes, and then shipped back. The total amount should not be too large.”

Cui Junsu laughed after hearing this: "Two million small silver coins a year, I'm afraid it's no problem."

Willow nodded.

Cui Junsu said again: "The General Shipping Department, Beisi County, and Shi Jianshan. Can you give the Ministry of Households 400 million coins and supplies equivalent to each other a year?"
