Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 1000

Chapter [-]

There is no shortage of materials in Datang, on the contrary, because of the abundance of products, the value of the goods is cheap.

Especially for farmers, this is very abnormal.The price of five renminbi for a bucket of rice is only more than 100 renminbi per mu. After the seed tax is excluded, only one hundred mu of land can earn five renminbi.

Even if it is converted into RMB, it is only more than 2 yuan.It is equivalent to the income of more than [-] acres of grain planted by farmers of later generations. If it is planted vegetables, this income will be higher.

Although Chen Ying adopted the method of paper money and printed a lot of paper money, it still did not change the problem of the low cost of materials in the Tang Dynasty, because the aristocratic clan was not optimistic about Chen Ying's Datang Tongli Bank at first, and the interest on deposits was very low, and the interest on loans was also extremely low. There is no profit to be made.

When they came back to their senses, Datang Tongli Bank had grown into a behemoth.These aristocratic families have never given up on the imitation of banknotes. In fact, the most difficult thing about the banknotes issued by Datang Tongli Bank is not the patterns and passwords on them, but the banknote printing paper.

The paper used by Chen Ying to make banknotes is mainly made of cotton, cotton linters and high-quality Populus euphratica, and is made through a series of complex production processes such as chemical pulp.Although it is not as good as the banknote printing paper of later generations, it already has the advantages of high quality, high tensile force, resistance to folding and wear resistance, and is not easy to deform or damage when soaked in water.

The workshop for banknote printing paper is located in Chenjiabao, and more than 100 processes are used to complete the production. It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Ying will lose more than 400 yuan every time he prints a banknote with a face value of [-] yuan. .Printing banknotes with a denomination of [-] coins is barely enough.This left the aristocratic family with nowhere to bite the hedgehog.

After being unable to obtain the technological breakthrough of printing paper, the aristocratic family members failed at one plan and made another plan. They thought of another poisonous plan.

That is to prepare a large amount of banknotes and prepare for a run, so that Chen Ying's Datang Tongli Bank will be in a difficult situation of making ends meet. Once this situation occurs, the credit of Chen Ying's hard-earned Tongli Bank will go bankrupt, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Fortunately, Tiger Yicong detected the conspiracy of the aristocratic clan in time, controlled the printing scale of money in time, and strictly controlled the reserve fund system.At present, the reserve fund of Datang Tongli Bank is about [-]%, which actually makes Chen Ying feel that resources are seriously wasted.

But after the discovery of this copper mine, this unfavorable situation can be changed.

Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying have been closely connected since the first year of Wude, and Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying have already reached a tacit understanding. In fact, without Chen Ying's explicit words, Li Jiancheng began to dig a big hole for the aristocratic family.

In fact, Li Jiancheng has no idea about 200 million taels of gold. Anyway, one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten guan, so the 200 million taels of gold can be exchanged for more than 2000 million guan.

According to the plan, the project of building a strategic road around the sea can be started directly.

……

Wei Zheng felt like he was dreaming, and he didn't even know how he got back.After returning home, Wei Zheng looked at his old wife Wenxi Pei and said, "Ma'am, how much money do we have left?"

Mrs. Pei thought for a while and said, "Over [-] sticks!"

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Pei immediately thought of a rumor that the court seemed to be short of money, and the empress Zheng Guanyin borrowed money from the Mrs. Zheng, but the Mrs. Zheng of Xingyang finally took out more than [-] pennies like a beggar.

Thinking of a possibility, Mrs. Pei's expression changed drastically, "Xuancheng, you can't dedicate this money to the imperial court, and this money will be a dowry gift for Shuyu!"

In fact, the cost of marriage has never been low.The heavier the dowry, the more face the woman's family will have, and the man's family will also have face.After all, millions of dollars is not something that any ordinary family can afford.

Chen Ying and Li Xiuning got married, overtly and secretly, Chen Ying spent no less than a million pennies.If the income from steel is included, it may be more than 500 million yuan. In fact, Li Xiuning is the one with the heaviest dowry among Li Yuan's daughters.Of course, Li Xiuning's dowry is also very generous.

In the original history, Li Shimin betrothed his youngest daughter Princess Hengshan ([-] years old, [-] years old, the marriage was canceled in the same year) to Wei Shuyu as his wife, but in this time and space, Li Jiancheng has far fewer children than Li Shimin, and they are suitable for marriage less.

However, at this time, the daughter of Tai Changqing of the Tang Dynasty, the son-in-law of Du Wei Dou Dan, was his wife.But at present, Li Xiaogong has just been invited as a matchmaker to formally propose marriage to Dou Dan.

Once Dou Dan allows it, he will enter the acceptance of the six rituals.At this time, the man will ask Na Cai, although he uses wild geese.However, Nazsche etiquette varies with different identities.There are [-] kinds of gifts for Baiguan, and they all have different symbolic meanings, such as sheep, vanilla, and deer. To symbolize the couple's love for harmony; or take the advantages and virtues of various things to encourage and encourage the couple, such as pampas grass, Selaginella, relic beasts, blessed beasts, fish, geese, nine-son wives, etc.

The Sui and Tang Dynasties stipulated that the customization of the dowry was the same from the prince below to the ninth grade, and the standard was: one goose.One lamb, one dendrobium of wine, millet, rice and noodles.However, this is only for the formation of social atmosphere, but few people actually abide by it.Just like marriage in later generations, there are online comments that prohibit re-employment.

This is pure bullshit.Even if you think about it differently, getting married is the right thing to do. Ma Yun's daughter will never marry a poor guy.The matter of diaosi marrying Bai Fumei can only be fancied in online novels.

Wei Pei was worried that Wei Zheng would donate the money to the court, and he would not be able to come up with a dowry that matched his status.After all, Wei Zheng is now also the first-rank prince and grand teacher of Wen Sanguan, so naturally his actions should not be too shabby.

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "Ma'am, my husband knows your concerns. What I mean is that the family's surplus money is taken from the Tang Tongli Bank, and all of them are bought into real objects, and don't buy gold and silver..."

……

Wei Zheng only had less than [-] guan worth of property, but Wei Ting was different. Jingzhao Webster was originally a wealthy family in Guanzhong, and Wei Ting, as the elder of Li Jiancheng's hidden residence, had much more means of management than Wei Zheng.At this time, Wei Ting's son Wei Daijie took the money to buy shops and land in Chang'an and Luoyang.

Wei Ting, in particular, bought a full 12 mu of fertile land from Anxi in one go.

Similar examples have been staged in Chang'an.

……

In Anxi Shule College, Li Xiuning, Yang Rong, Li Daozhen and other girls followed Chen Ying onto the steam engine train.After this period of improvement, Zeno and all the craftsmen improved the high-temperature-resistant lubricating oil, increased the effectiveness of the piston, and adopted more precise structural components for positions with poor airtightness.

Of course, with Chen Ying, a giant standing on the shoulders of history, rubber began to be used more than 1000 years earlier, but the steam engine train still has no rubber.

As the saying goes, snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths. Although there is no rubber, smart craftsmen use cotton to press them into felt rings with excellent airtightness. Although the effect is not as good as real rubber rings, it is still much better than before. .

This time I saw the steam engine train, which was much improved than the original steam engine train. The original train carriage was just a row of wheels with an iron basket on it. Even a strong man could vomit blood due to bumps.However, with the adoption of a shock absorber, the effect of this kind of train carriage is much better.It's almost like driving a pickup truck and galloping on the beach next door to Gurban.Although uncomfortable, it is not unbearable.

The improved train is much faster than the original, and most importantly, it can drag sixteen train carriages.

Of course, due to the influence of Chen Ying, a butterfly from another world, the train at this time was simply Royal One.

The ten-foot-long carriage is divided into four parts, a rest area for sleeping, a banquet area for eating and enjoying singing and dancing, a bathing area for bathing, and a kitchen.

Especially the banquet area for dining, with a difference of six feet long and one foot wide, it can hold a small reception, or let five or six dancers dance in it.

The most important thing is that all the seats are comfortable sofas. Sitting on the sofa and enjoying the fun of bumping up and down, it has a special flavor.

Yang Rong looked at the speeding train and asked excitedly, "Who made this car?"

Chen Ying pointed to Qinuo and said, "It's him, and all the craftsmen of Shule Academy!"

Yang Rong said excitedly: "At first, I was worried about how to transport the mined copper back to Guanzhong, but now it's better, with this thing, it's more than cattle and horses!"

Even Li Daozhen praised: "With this thing, the food that can't be eaten from Anxi can be directly transported to Chang'an. How much time can be saved in this process? How much more goods can be pulled?"

Chen Ying said with a smile: "According to the current carrying capacity of trains, it is not a problem to pull 1 trains. According to the first three trains loaded with coal and water, [-] trains, each train can carry more than [-] stones."

However, Li Xiuning, who has been silent all this time, thinks differently from Li Daozhen and Yang Rong. What she thinks about is that the train is an absolute military weapon.

The Great Tang has millions of soldiers. A large-scale war is not impossible to gather millions of troops, but the key is that the logistics cannot keep up.A train can carry tens of thousands of shi, and tens of thousands of shi of grain is enough to feed a hundred thousand troops for three days.Even with an army of 50, two trains are needed.

Using such a military weapon as a carriage is really a waste of money.

Li Xiuning suddenly thought that it would be an excellent weapon for military or civilian use.The reason why this thing is limited is only the time it takes for these two rails to be laid.However, Datang began to build Chidao as early as the third year of Wude, and now it has been built for seven years, and it has been built for tens of thousands of miles.

Could it be that Chen Ying had foreseen the appearance of this thing as early as seven years ago?

Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying's pretty face, and his mind was full of thoughts: "Could it be that there are really people who are born with knowledge in this world?"

But to say that Chen Ying can see through the future?
Li Xiuning was a little puzzled again.

Those who are born knowing, without exception, are gods.

However, as Li Xiuning's bedside person, Chen Ying knew Chen Ying very well, and Chen Ying was definitely a real person.
