Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 650 Visiting Silla
Jiang Ke almost exclaimed that the secret of the anti-rust of the can is here. This technology is not recorded in the manual test scrolls of how much money Huayuan spent, how much time and how much time.

Jiang Ke originally heard that the mint in Huayuan was fully opened at a rate that was not as fast as spending coins.

As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was the technology of tinning on the surface of bronze, which can be tinned on light, thin and edgeless steel plates, and it should be bright and smooth.In Jiang Ke's eyes, it is absolutely impossible for the Silla people to know about this technology.

There are also detailed distinctions in the data.

There are dozens of different steel materials such as iron for hoes, steel for scissors, ordnance steel, general steel for civilian use, and special steel for cans.

Among them, the steel specially used for cans cannot become military steel even if it is melted because of tin plating, and it is very reluctant to be used as ordinary steel for civilian use.

Jiang Ke wrote the four words "canned steel" on the paper, and then drew three circles heavily.

At noon the next day, Jiang Ke, who had two dark circles under his eyes, found Liu Mu.

"Lang Jun, the plan is this. The steel cans produced by the Xingzhou Steel Workshop weigh three stones each, and are one foot wide and one hundred feet long. They are rolled into rolls, and they have to be transported to another steel workshop to be reprocessed into cans. Its giant shearing machine and punching machine seem complicated and huge, but there are not many advanced craftsmanship."

"En." Liu Mu nodded.

There is really no advanced craftsmanship in these two things, in order to increase work efficiency.

Jiang Ke continued: "Then I have read the two big machines of crimping and crimping several times, but I can't understand them, so I have to keep them, but these two tasks can be done with a single small tool. A canning workshop was built in Silla. , There also needs a stove, a lot of labor, and a lot of tools."

"Continue." Liu Mu felt that this matter was reliable.

"All raw materials are shipped from Xingzhou Steel Workshop..." Liu Mu interrupted Jiang Ke: "Sorry to interrupt you, a new steel workshop has started production. It was originally a large steel workshop built for the production of canned steel. The location is about a hundred miles southeast of Qizhou, where there is a river leading directly to the Jiaozhou wharf. The output is...amazing."

This is not included in the information Liu Mu gave before.

Jiang Ke even felt grateful for Liu Mu's interruption this time, which made his plan easier.

"Tsushima Island can actually be controlled by the Tang Dynasty. However, it is distributed to the fishermen of the Japanese and Silla. According to the information of Mr. Lang, it shows that the Tsushima Strait is rich in fishery resources, so it can produce a large amount of canned fish. The Japanese need Buying cans from Silla, it's a blatant deal."

"Then what about the reverse?" Willow asked again.

"Silla has nothing. Fukuoka, Japan's purple island, can produce countless coals to supply Silla. Without coal, Silla can't make cans, let alone process fish. Processing fish requires countless spices. New Luo simply has no raw materials, and these spices have to be transported from Lingnan."

After listening to Jiang Ke's suggestion, Liu Mu said: "There are several small islands in the south of Satsumon, Japan. They are a good place to grow sugar cane. Sugar is needed for canning, even for canned fish."

"Lang Jun, the result of this is that Silla, Hayato, and Wasu are all inseparable from this circle, but the trouble is Goguryeo in the north of Silla. They are jealous because of Silla's income, and they will stir up some troubles in the fishing grounds by the sea. .”

"What's your suggestion?"

Jiang Ke finished: "Sell ships to Silla and Japanese, let them fight Goguryeo to death."

Liu Mu shook his head lightly: "Not good, if it triggers a full-scale war between Goguryeo and Silla, it will not be good for my Tang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, there will never be a war."

"reason?"

"Goguryeo is still in the stage of testing our Tang Dynasty, and they are not sure about Silla. Once the Japanese participated in the fighting against the fishing grounds belonging to Goguryeo, the Goguryeo palace was even more afraid to act rashly. The real fight will be a few years later. In the past few years, there are many measures to deal with the possibility of a war on the peninsula that may occur in a few years."

I have to admit that what Jiang Ke said makes sense.

Liu Mu said: "Get ready, we will go north together tomorrow afternoon, and we will go to... Silla."

The next day, Liu Mu prepared to leave.

Liumu felt a little guilty for not being able to accompany Dugu Lanruo, but Dugu Lanruo had the excellent moral character of a Tang woman, and showed great support for her husband when he went out to work.

Concubine Wan Gui also gave up going to Kagoshima and wanted to stay in Hangzhou to accompany Dugu Lanruo.

After going out to sea, only two days after Liu Mu left Hangzhou Bay, he met Li Xiaogong's boatman at sea. Li Xiaogong originally sent a group of Japanese women to Yangzhou, and then took care of some of his official duties in Jiangnan.

As a result, Li Xiaogong was dragged by Liu Mu, and after Li Yuan's ship was handed over to Li Xiaogong, before Li Xiaogong could ask what was going on, Liu Mu's fleet sailed northward with full sail.

"He..." Li Xiaogong didn't know how to ask.

But Li Yuan smiled: "Compared with many courtiers, he is more attentive in his work. In half a month at most, Wuji will bring Chang'an's secret order, one of which is for you."

"Uncle Huang, I'm afraid you don't know, this time you are a bit too cruel to the Japanese."

"Is it ruthless?" Li Yuan smiled indifferently: "When you see Wuji, come and tell me whether it is ruthless enough. Now, send me to the mountain that Xiaomu said is erupting fire every day. What else can I see? to the hot springs.”

Li Yuan's words made Li Xiaogong stunned twice.

First of all, he felt that Li Yuan didn't think what happened on Wa Island was cruel. Secondly, he didn't know what a mountain that erupted every day was. He had never been there or heard of it.

It was the captain who told Li Xiaogong that it was a very small island near Luer Port.

On both sides of the conversation, Liumu's side sailed with full sail, braving the wind and waves to head for a port that is not entirely part of Silla.

This place is called Yeongdo in Juchilsan County.

There used to be a small country here, called Juqishan Country, which is now part of Silla, but due to some reasons decades ago, the small island of Yeongdo was a semi-autonomous territory.

At that time, this place, including Juqishan Kingdom, belonged to the Gaya Alliance.

In the later period of the war when Silla annexed Gaya, the nobles of Gaya guarded the last small territory of Yeongdo and fought to the death.Silla chose peace talks, some Gaya nobles became the lower nobles of Silla, and some fled to Wado.

The Gayawon nobles who became the lower nobles had a small territory with partial autonomy.

Later generations also called this place Yeongdo.

Silla has always wanted to solve this problem. In the early days, the contract was signed and naturally it cannot be torn up immediately. Later, because of the war with Goguryeo, there was no time to worry about it, let alone

Juqishan Country is one of the six strongest small countries in the original Gaya Alliance.
