Chapter 160 The Ministry of Industry is shocked, the power of the ancient spirit-gathering array, the artifact of the country, Your Majesty has a great joy!
Ministry of Industry.
Compared with several other departments, the Ministry of Industry is the busiest department. The officials of the Ministry of Industry who come and go are basically transferring documents.
The work department is very busy.
Civil engineering and water conservancy projects throughout the country must be resolved by the Ministry of Industry.
The entire Ministry of Industry can be divided into three different areas.
Civil engineering and water conservancy, machine manufacturing, and mining and metallurgy are the three largest sectors.
As for the mausoleum and guard of honor, these are trivial matters, at least not many things in normal times.
The main thing is civil engineering across the country. The Ministry of Industry has to build drawings, approve and issue them, followed by machine manufacturing. The main focus is military utensils, followed by civilian utensils.
And this time.
With Gu Jinnian's arrival, someone immediately entered the Ministry of Industry and reported to Wang Qixin and Wang Shangshu.
Before Gu Jinnian entered the Ministry of Industry, Wang Qixin appeared.
"Master Hou."
"Why are you here?"
Wang Qixin walked out quickly, and looked at Gu Jinnian with a puzzled face.
"Master Shangshu, according to His Majesty's will, come to deal with the matter of the Great Xia Dragon Boat and Treasure Ship."
Gu Jinnian lowered his voice and told Wang Shangshu.
"Dragon boat treasure boat?"
"understood."
"Master Hou, shall we go to see the dragon boat first, or go in for a rest?"
Wang Qixin asked aloud.
Wang Qixin didn't dare to neglect Gu Jinnian, not that it was as simple as making Gu Jinnian the First Marquis of Great Xia.
The main reason is that Gu Jinnian is now the benefactor of their Ministry of Industry and the cash cow of the Ministry of Industry. If this is not polite, how will they make money later.
"Go straight to see the dragon boat, so I won't rest. I will go to the academy later, and I will go to the palace tomorrow to prepare for the canonization ceremony."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
"Okay, Master Hou will follow me."
Wang Qixin didn't hesitate and took Gu Jinnian away from the Ministry of Industry.
The foundry of the Ministry of Industry is on the outskirts of Kyoto, and it is heavily guarded. It is impossible to set up a foundry in Kyoto. After all, every inch of land is expensive, and there are many people in Kyoto.
How can it be messed up when it comes to the military industry of the dynasty?
Riding a war horse, Wang Qixin took a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry and went straight to the foundry.
About half an hour later, Gu Jinnian came to the foundry.
The foundry of the Ministry of Industry in Daxia covers an area of 36 acres, with 72 melting pits, [-] iron pots, [-] furnace rooms, and [-] workers. Most of them are here to forge some top-level armor and knives.
And there is also a huge open space for experimenting with armored swords.
There is still a quarter of the place, which is used to develop some livelihood artifacts, as well as the mint.
"Master Hou."
"Your Majesty has given instructions a few days ago to ask the Ministry of Industry to build three dragon boats, three treasure ships, and three chariots each, and to build them in large, medium and small styles. Take a look, this is a large dragon boat built by the Ministry of Industry."
After bringing Gu Jinnian into the foundry, Wang Qixin pointed to an open space and said so.
On the open space, there are indeed three dragon boats of different sizes.
The current dragon boats of the Great Xia Dynasty are about 22 feet long, [-] feet wide, and [-] feet high.
The large dragon boat built by the Ministry of Industry is [-] feet long, [-] feet wide, and [-] feet high, divided into four floors.
This is large.
The medium-sized dragon boat is twenty feet long, fifteen feet wide, and nine feet high, just like a normal dragon boat.
The small dragon boat is twelve feet long, eight feet wide, and five feet high.
Looking at the dragon boat, Wang Qixin's voice sounded.
"His Royal Highness, this large dragon boat can accommodate three thousand soldiers at one go, and if it transports grain, it can transport three thousand shi of grain."
"A medium-sized dragon boat can accommodate two thousand soldiers, and if it transports food, it can accommodate about two thousand stone grains."
"A small dragon boat can hold a thousand armored soldiers, and transport about a thousand grains of grain."
One stone is 120 catties, and three thousand stones is 36 catties, which is equivalent to a load-bearing capacity of 180 tons.
The large-scale dragon boat transports a load of 180 tons, the medium-sized one is 120 tons, and the small-sized one is [-] tons.
It's actually pretty good.
It is quite good that flying objects can transport 180 tons. After all, what is transported is not necessarily food. Except for disaster relief, transporting food has no meaning, and transporting goods is the key.
In the Guangjiang lineage, there is something called Baiyuguo, or lychee. The price of this thing in Guangjiang varies from high to low. No more than twelve taels.
But when this thing is sold in the capital of Daxia, the starting price is 50 taels a hang, that's right, it's a hang, about half a catty.
And it is priceless.
Along the road, ice and stones are used to transport by sea. Every city has to transport ice to keep it fresh. The white jade fruit transported from Guangjiang will take [-] days at the fastest to be delivered.
Unless some monks are invited to come and transport them, the imperial court will ask some monks to specially send top-quality white jade fruit every year. This is a tribute.
In addition, the crown prince has two, the crown prince has one, and Li Ji has one,
This thing is counted as a piece, which proves the value of the white jade fruit.
If you use a dragon boat to deliver, under the freezing effect, as long as you can reach Daxia Capital within three days, this thing is a hundred and two catties, twenty or thirty times the profit.
Don't worry if you can't sell it, there are a lot of rich people in Beijing in Daxia.
If a dragon boat transports 1000 catties, how much profit will there be?Close to [-] million taels of silver.
Of course, if the price is lowered and sold at a low price, everyone in Kyoto can afford it. If we break down the grades, the rich will buy good quality, and the poor will buy normal ones. They all taste the same anyway.
This item alone is a steady stream of money.
"What is the fastest speed of the Great Xia dragon boat? If the cost of the spirit crystal is not included."
Gu Jinnian glanced at the dragon boat, then asked Wang Qixin this question.
"Go back to Lord Marquis."
"If you don't count the cost, [-] miles a day is the limit, but it needs to consume at least ten catties of spirit crystals."
Wang Qixin answered.
"The market price of a catty of spirit crystal is 10 taels of silver."
Finally, Wang Qixin also reminded the value of the spirit crystal.
10 taels of silver, a catty of spirit crystals.
Travel [-] miles a day.
The cost consumption of 40 taels of silver is really outrageous.
Forty thousand miles is equal to 660 kilometers, and twelve hours a day is equal to [-] kilometers per hour.
Half an hour is 830 three kilometers.
To be honest, this speed is not particularly fast. The fastest speed of a fighter jet in the previous life was [-] kilometers per hour.
This is only 830 three kilometers.
The only difference is that one fuel tank will be gone when it is empty, and the other can be accelerated as long as it has spirit crystals. After all, fighter jets are individualized, and they are too small to carry heavy loads. This thing can carry heavy loads.
But the cost consumption is exaggerated, 40 taels of silver is equal to 1000 million copper plates.
Not worth it at all.
"How much money did it cost to build?"
Gu Jinnian spoke up and continued to ask about the manufacturing cost of the dragon boat.
"Back to Lord Hou, it takes 10 taels of silver to build a large dragon boat, 7 taels of silver for a medium-sized dragon boat, and 4 taels of silver for a small dragon boat."
Wang Qixin replied.
The cost is good, mainly because iron ore is expensive. The iron used to build the dragon boat is not an ordinary iron stone, but an extremely strong iron stone, especially the chassis, which can ensure that the dragon boat will not be damaged in any way after landing. Wear and tear is normal.
Therefore, it generally falls on the water, rarely on the ground, and there will be a certain amount of suspension.
"How many years can it be used?"
Gu Jinnian asked.
"It's hard to say. Generally, if you don't use it often, you can use it for ten years if you take care of it carefully. If you use it frequently, it will probably last about three years."
The latter gives an answer.
"What's the reason? Is there a material problem?"
Three years is a bit short. To be honest, the cost of construction is 10 taels of silver, plus maintenance fees, and some labor costs. After three years, at least 20 taels of silver must be included in it.
It only took three years to lose some money.
"Well, the material problem is the most important."
"It can be improved, but the cost will be even greater."
Wang Qixin nodded.
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian didn't think too much about it, since the cost would be greater, so there is really no need to improve anything for the time being.
"Row."
"I'll go up and have a look, you wait below."
Gu Jinnian didn't talk too much, he took off directly and came to the dragon boat. As for Wang Qixin and others, they watched from below the dragon boat.
The exterior of a dragon boat is actually no different from the deck. The imagination of the ancients is actually like this. It is obviously an aircraft, so it must be made into a dragon boat, but it doesn't matter.
The only thing Gu Jinnian is looking forward to now is one.
How strong is the effect of the 'Juling Ancient Formation'?
If you can't make the dragon boat fly, or if you don't have enough speed, then it doesn't mean much.
If you can make a large dragon boat fly.
Gu Jinnian couldn't help but bold ideas appeared in his mind.
Great Xia fighter.
Daxia aircraft carrier group.
If these things are sorted out, it will redefine the pattern.
Of course, Gu Jinnian's idea is just ahead of his time. It is still impossible to come up with a fighter jet, but it is possible to come up with something with the same effect, such as a super small dragon boat, which is not too much to hold gunpowder, right?
Flying to the sky and bombing directly, from the actual effect, this is a fighter jet.
It's just a castrated fighter.
The aircraft carrier group is even better. The main core function of the aircraft carrier is to transport fighter jets, and then install hundreds of Daxialong cannons to directly transform into a sea supremacy.
Mastered air supremacy and sea domain rights.
Then the next step is much simpler. Fighting around air supremacy, first a round of artillery bombardment, then let the soldiers of Daxia control the dragon boat, another round of carpet bombing, and then let the soldiers on the ground rush in to harvest.
How is this fight going?
If it really works, then the next war launched by the Great Xia Dynasty can make the whole world dumbfounded.
Three hours to defeat the Huns on all fronts.
Take the Xiongnu royal court at six hours.
Change the meaning of warfare, directly converting from cavalry warfare to semi-modern warfare.
Of course, all of the above is Gu Jinnian's own imagination, and the process to realize it is difficult and long.
Everything depends on whether the 'Juling Ancient Formation' has any effect.
If it works, and if the effect is large, then there is really hope to enter pseudo-industrialization.
If it doesn't work, or if it doesn't work much, it can only increase agricultural and transportation production.
Dragon boat interior.
Gu Jinnian came to the spiritual crystal furnace. It is not so much a spiritual crystal furnace as a sunken formation map with formations engraved on it. As long as the spiritual crystal is placed inside, the dragon boat can be continuously powered .
However, Gu Jinnian was on the other side, engraving the ancient array of gathering spirits.
Wait for the array map to be printed.
Gu Jinnian entered a seal.
Then he let out a long breath, his eyes filled with anticipation.
However, under the dragon boat.
The voices of some officials from the Ministry of Industry could not help but ring out.
"My lord, why does Your Majesty want to build a dragon boat again?"
"Yeah, dragon boats don't have much value. The cost of flying is too high, and the cost is not cheap. It's better to build a few more treasure ships."
"Well, I have a lot of waterways in Daxia, and dragon boats are useless. It takes two or three catties of spirit crystals to go back and forth for three thousand miles. Hours will run."
The Ministry of Industry officials were a little curious and asked Wang Qixin.
Hearing these voices, Wang Qixin was also a little puzzled. He didn't know why Emperor Yongsheng suddenly asked the Ministry of Industry to build a new dragon boat, but he didn't want to ask too much.
"I don't know what His Majesty means, let's not make wild guesses."
Wang Qixin spoke up, not wanting to say more.
"Hey, Your Majesty, please don't think about reviving the dragon boat. All countries in the world are studying the dragon boat. It is said that the Central Continent Dynasty is also researching the dragon boat. They have invested a lot of silver, but nothing has been researched."
"10,000+ taels of silver was consumed."
An official spoke up and said so.
"For this large dragon boat to operate, it needs at least five catties of spirit crystals for a thousand miles. If it is full of people, it may cost seven or eight catties. The gain outweighs the loss."
"It's all a loss for disaster relief."
Some officials also spoke out, pointing at this large dragon boat.
Several people are officials from the Ministry of Industry, so the calculation is correct.
Just at this moment, bursts of strange voices sounded.
boom!boom!
creak!creak!
With this strange sound sounded.
Soon, everyone understood what had happened.
It was the dragon boat that moved.
I saw that the large dragon boat on the far left took off directly, suspended in the air bit by bit, a full height of several hundred meters, and finally sank into the clouds.
Then the dragon boat set off, the initial speed was not very fast, but as time passed, the speed became faster and faster.
Inside the dragon boat, the Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, which accelerated the speed of the dragon boat.
Gu Jinnian continued to bless the ancient spirit-juling array and flew for half an hour. Gu Jinnian looked down and saw an ancient city.
Calculating in my heart, it was almost five hundred miles.
Good guy, this is fast enough.
Five hundred miles is equal to 250 kilometers, which is definitely not enough compared to the planes of the previous life, but for ancient times, this speed is completely enough.
Five hundred kilometers per hour.
Twelve hours are [-] kilometers, and the Great Xia Dynasty spanned [-] kilometers from east to west.
In other words, it only takes three days and three nights to span the Great Xia Dynasty.
That's not bad.
The most important thing is that the dragon boat under my feet is a large dragon boat.
What about a small dragon boat?It should not be a big problem if the speed has been increased by two or three times. Even if it is transformed into the smallest dragon boat and used for war and military purposes, it will definitely not be a big problem at [-] kilometers per hour.
One day spans a Great Xia dynasty.
In terms of speed, it is completely enough.
At least in the era of cold weapons, this speed is completely enough. As for the future improvement, we will talk about it later.
It's like when everyone is using cold weapons, you suddenly come up with a machine gun. Even the worst and most common machine guns are definitely not comparable to cold weapons.
No matter how strong your cavalry is, within a hundred paces, in front of machine guns, everything is extra food.
For war, this speed is definitely enough, and it is completely fine to catch the enemy by surprise.
It may be a lot worse to meet Gu Jinnian's expectations.
But the domestic transportation is completely fine, and his own Great Xia Night City is basically guaranteed.
The most frightening point is that there is no need to consume spirit crystals, and it can automatically absorb the aura of heaven and earth. This alone is enough.
perfect.
It's perfect.
Gu Jinnian controlled the dragon boat to turn around.
After trying to accelerate it, I finally found that the speed was fixed at about [-] kilometers per hour, and it was almost too fast.
Very good, very good.
An hour later.
Daxia Foundry.
The dragon boat landed slowly, and finally with a dull sound, the large dragon boat was completely stabilized.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Jinnian went straight to the smallest dragon boat.
And Wang Qixin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also walked quickly, and came to Gu Jinnian and said.
"Master Hou."
"There's no need to test it. If this small dragon boat flies for an hour, it needs at least three to forty thousand taels of silver worth of spirit crystals."
Wang Qixin appeared and informed Gu Jinnian that the spirit crystal of the small dragon boat was depleted.
He subconsciously thought that Gu Jinnian was testing the depletion of the spirit crystal, so he stepped forward to remind him, feeling a little distressed.
After all, just now Gu Jinnian launched the large dragon boat to go back and forth for two hours. They also calculated just now that at least half a catty of spirit crystals are gone. This is [-] to [-] silver.
Just a random test, close to one hundred thousand taels of silver is in vain, how can they not feel distressed?
The Ministry of Industry was already poor, and they were reluctant to use money, even if it was Gu Jinnian's own expense.
Pure white to ah.
"About half a catty?"
"Then just now, how many spiritual crystals will be used for the large dragon boat that travels a thousand miles per hour?"
Gu Jinnian asked curiously.
"One thousand miles, that's not fast, about half a catty."
"But Lord Hou, don't you know what you use yourself?"
Wang Qixin said with some pain.
"Half a catty?"
"That's not bad."
After getting this answer, Gu Jinnian was very satisfied. He saved half a catty of Lingjing in one hour, which was equivalent to saving 5 taels of silver. If it took twelve hours, it would be 60 taels of silver.
It is used to transport the goods, and the water freight alone is worth millions of silver every day.
Blood fucking earned.
If this is not a SF Express, I am really sorry for Juling Ancient Formation.
There is one more way to make money.
"It's not bad?"
"Master Hou, Da Xia doesn't have many spirit crystals stored, so let's not waste them."
Wang Qixin said with a bitter face.
"Who said Benhou was wasted."
"Let's go, show you the world."
Gu Jinnian grabbed Wang Qixin and jumped straight onto the dragon boat.
Then regardless of Wang Qixin's long-winded words, the past was to engrave the ancient formation of gathering spirits.
After entering the array seal.
Gu Jinnian activated the formation.
At that moment, the small dragon boat set off, gradually took off, fully rose to an altitude of a thousand meters, passed the bottom clouds, and then began to fly.
The speed of small dragon boats is obviously much faster than that of large dragon boats.
And next to the spirit crystal furnace.
Wang Qixin was a little surprised.
"Master Hou."
"Why did you carve another spirit crystal formation?"
He was a little curious, looked at the Juling ancient formation, and looked at Gu Jinnian with some doubts.
"This is not a spirit crystal array."
"It's the Spirit Gathering Formation."
Gu Jinnian spoke quietly, and did not hide it from Wang Qixin.
To be honest, Wang Qixingui is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, so it doesn't make much sense to hide it from him. He knows everything about the Ministry of Industry when he comes to the Ministry of Industry.
Now that the experiment is successful, His Majesty must build a large number of dragon boats. If he can't give a suitable reason, Wang Qixin will definitely not agree.
Although no one dares to disobey the emperor's words, you can't do anything reckless.
The mass production of dragon boats requires money and has to be approved by the Ministry of Households. The Ministry of Industry refuses to agree and resolutely resists.
At that time, His Majesty still has to explain the situation.
Furthermore, it's not that there is something wrong with the brain if the important affairs of the country are done without telling the Ministry of Industry?
It's better not to have the Ministry of Industry, and the imperial power is directly autocratic.
It's better to just let Wang Qixin know what it is, so that he can be sure of his mind.
"The Spirit Gathering Array?"
"Master Hou, I, Wang, don't study much, so don't lie to me."
"How could the spirit gathering array make the dragon boat run? And the speed is so fast?"
This time Wang Qixin was dumbfounded.
He couldn't believe that this was the Spirit Gathering Formation.
"The ancient spirit-gathering formation that this Marquis got by chance is a hundred times the effect of the ordinary spirit-gathering formation, and there is no need to bless spirit crystals, Wang Shangshu, you don't think that your majesty is full and has nothing to do, so let you build a few dragon boats for fun? "
Gu Jinnian's tone was calm.
At the same time, I am feeling the speed of the small dragon boat.
The fastest speed is indeed twice that of a large dragon boat, that is, one thousand kilometers per hour.
It is a little less than the expected [-] kilometers, and the volume is still too large, so it should be adjusted down.
But it was ok and didn't disappoint.
It's just that Wang Qixin on the side is already numb in place.
His breathing gradually became short of breath.
His eyes were fixed on Gu Jinnian.
"Master Hou."
"You...you didn't lie to the old man?"
Wang Qixin was short of breath, and couldn't help shaking his hands. Just like Parkinson, he pointed at Gu Jinnian and said tremblingly.
"Wang Shangshu, I really didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself. This Marquis didn't take out the spirit crystal."
Gu Jinnian replied lightly.
next moment.
Wang Qixin's voice sounded.
"hiss!"
"Impossible, this is impossible, this is impossible."
"How could there be such an ancient formation that doesn't need spirit crystals and can automatically absorb the spiritual energy of the world to make the dragon boat fly?"
"That's impossible."
Wang Qixin gasped, and then kept mumbling that it was impossible.
But when he searched the inside of the dragon boat carefully, he did not find a spirit crystal, and finally Wang Qixin had to believe it.
"Hahahahahaha."
"Da Xia is about to take off, Da Xia is about to take off."
"The artifact of the country, the artifact of the country, this is the artifact of the country."
"Master Hou, the two of us are going to be prosperous, we are going to be prosperous."
Soon, ear-piercing laughter rang out, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was in his fifties, was dancing excitedly, and even wanted to hug Gu Jinnian in the end.
Fortunately, Gu Jinnian had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he pushed Wang Qixin away and said seriously.
"My lord, I'm about to get rich. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't rub it."
Gu Jinnian said seriously.
Horse riding, this matter is completely led by myself.
What does it have to do with you?Can this be done hard?You are disgusting here, right?
"Master Hou, whoever sees it has a share."
"Hahahaha, it doesn't matter if you don't have credit, Da Xia is really going to take off this time, it's my honor to see such artifacts born in my lifetime, my honor."
"Hahahahaha."
Wang Qixin was completely insane. He lay directly on the ground, wanting to hold the dragon boat and laugh.
But Gu Jinnian could also understand the other party's emotions.
it's common.
Who is not excited?
Even if ordinary people can't think of it, they know how important this kind of aircraft is in terms of military warfare.
Among other things, trade and transportation alone can promote the economic development of the Great Xia Dynasty. Of course, the cost of dragon boats is here, and it must be difficult to achieve comprehensive transportation.
But the problem is, there are treasure ships and chariots.
With the combination of sea, land and air, the cost of water transportation is greatly reduced, and the trade promoted is absolutely leveraged.
After half an hour.
Wang Qixin woke up from the excitement, then looked at Gu Jinnian and said.
"Master Hou."
"Can this ancient spirit gathering array be applied to any artifact?"
Wang Qixin was a little excited, looking at Gu Jinnian, his old face was extremely rosy.
"It's still not possible in some places."
"Master Shangshu, don't think too much."
Gu Jinnian frowned slightly, as a friendly reminder.
"No, Master Hou, what I mean is, utensils, don't make a mistake."
Although Wang Qixin didn't know what Gu Jinnian thought of, he still explained.
"But when it comes to utensils, it should apply to everything."
Gu Jinnian nodded and replied like this.
"hiss."
"That's really developed."
"Master Hou, the Ministry of Industry has many newly invented utensils. For example, there is a thing called a crane, which can pull tens of thousands of catties and use it to build palaces."
"However, we can only rely on manpower, so that the cost and salary are too high. If we use spirit crystals, the cost will be even greater, so there is no mass production. It is currently used for palace construction, and this kind of thing is needed for Lord Hou's Great Summer Night City. .”
"But if there is this ancient spirit-gathering formation, it can save a lot of labor, and it can be used to build bridges and roads. This alone can save countless expenses, and it can open up many major cities between cities. Channels benefit the country and the people, benefit the country and the people."
Wang Qixin said excitedly.
After saying this, Gu Jinnian became interested.
He had a general idea of what it was, a crane, and it did work.
What I didn't expect was that the Ministry of Industry even invented this, as expected of the Ministry of Industry.
To be honest, Gu Jinnian had always thought that the Ministry of Industry was purely focused on military development, but what he didn't expect was that it had made some achievements in this area.
"This is fine."
"Are there any other inventions?"
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
"Yes, there are many. As long as this ancient spirit-gathering array can be applied to all utensils, the Ministry of Industry has many inventions, and there are even land cultivators, but they also need the activation of spirit crystals."
"Now, if we have this ancient spirit-gathering array, combined with the land cultivator, it will be able to improve the plight of many fertile fields."
"Master Hou, this thing of yours can change the Great Xia Dynasty. In every aspect, there are too many places that can be transformed."
Wang Qixin was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Ministry of Industry.
The main focus is on the military, and the other is coinage. Other inventions are not invented.
For example, the cultivator mentioned just now was invented five years ago, but it is useless, because there is no power, and cattle are still needed to cultivate.
It even needs seven or eight cattle to pull in front, just like pulling a cart, and the cattle may not be obedient, and they may go in the wrong direction, causing the utensils to stop.
Besides, if there are seven or eight cattle, who would use this thing?
And the main reason is that the strength of the cattle will also be exhausted. Once the power of the cattle is lost, the utensil will be useless at all.
However, spirit crystals can be used instead of cattle.
But here comes the problem, a catty of spirit crystal costs 10 taels of silver, even if it can be used for one day, it can reclaim one hundred mu of land a day.
This 10 taels of silver can also buy a hundred acres of land, right?
With this money, what is wrong with doing something like plowing the land?Have a problem with your brain?
But now it's different, with Gu Jinnian's ancient spirit-gathering formation, the Great Xia Dynasty will undergo qualitative changes, and many artifacts of the Ministry of Industry will exert their maximum effect.
Change the entire dynasty structure.
Wang Qixin can meet the budget.
If it is really useful, if conditions permit, within one year, all the abandoned fertile land in Daxia can be reclaimed.
In this way, the grain tax of the Great Xia Dynasty must be tripled at least.
This grain tax was one of the biggest sources of income for the Great Xia Dynasty, and there was no such thing as one of them.
The grain tax collected by the Great Xia Dynasty every year, deducting their own reservations in various places, ten million taels of silver cannot escape.
What does tripling mean?
It means that [-] taels of silver are credited into the account every year, and the common people have food and gradually become richer, and business and trade will be more prosperous, and the prosperous age will come directly.
The judgment of the Eastern Wasteland on the flourishing age is that the common people can have enough to eat.
Therefore, Wang Qixin understands how terrifying the value of this thing is.
"Wang Shangshu."
"It's hard to say, it depends on the specific situation."
"And temporarily, this ancient spirit gathering array will only appear on dragon boats, treasure ships, chariots and cannons, and should not appear in other places."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
A bucket of cold water was poured on Wang Qixin.
"Why is this?"
Hearing this, Wang Qixin was a little startled. It was obviously something that benefited the country and the people, so why did he hold it back?
"Don't Wang Shangshu understand?"
"What this thing means, I think you know better than anyone else."
"If it is used on a large scale, it will definitely be spread. If it is really spread, what will the major dynasties think?"
"At that time, will I ask the Daxia Dynasty for it? If the Fuluo Dynasty, the Dajin Dynasty, or even the Zhongzhou Dynasty come to ask for this ancient spirit gathering array, what should I do?"
Gu Jinnian said lightly.
It's not that he doesn't understand the value of the ancient spirit gathering array, it's because he understands that Gu Jinnian knows it and needs to hide it.
At least build a large number of dragon boats and treasure ships, commercialization is necessary, but militarization is more important.
Create an invincible fleet and master the air supremacy. Only in this way will you not be afraid of the enemy's coveting.
If you really dare to reach out to ask for it, then the opponent who hits you will not dare to reach out.
And this is a long plan that requires patience.
In the early stage, I didn't worry about taking dragon boats and treasure ships out. I publicized that the Great Xia Dynasty had discovered several large spirit crystal mines, and then used dragon boats and treasure ships to transport goods at all costs in order to develop the dynasty's economy.
For the other dynasties, although it is a bit sour, it will not let them tear their faces directly.
After all, the great fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty has risen, and it is reasonable to discover a few spirit crystal mines. Didn't this kind of thing happen in the Great Jin Dynasty before?A very large psionic crystal mine has been discovered.
It is estimated that at least 20 catties of spirit crystals can be excavated. Isn't it true that the major dynasties have nothing to say?
Now that the Great Xia Dynasty has also discovered it, what can you do?
First do a good job in the domestic economy, and then secretly train new arms.
When it's done.
What if the enemy knows about it?
Gu Jinnian's words made Wang Qixin gradually calm down.
"Been taught a lesson."
"What Hou Ye said is very true, the old man was impulsive."
Wang Qixin took a deep breath and calmed down. He was so excited just now, that's why he was like this.
Calm down now, after listening to what Gu Jinnian said, I feel that there is indeed no problem.
If this thing is applicable to a large area, people will definitely notice it, and after careful investigation, it is found that your Great Xia Dynasty actually has an ancient formation that can make dragon boats fly without spirit crystals.
To be honest, people are not stupid, they can think of many things at once.
At that time, everyone will come to your door to ask for it.
don't give?
Call if you don't give.
It is still the same as before, when a dynasty possesses destructive weapons, it will become an enemy of the whole world.
It's death anyway, and no one wants to succumb to your feet.
But when several dynasties have destructive weapons, the world will become very quiet.
And as long as it becomes the strongest existence among these dynasties.
Then you are number one in the world.
"Master Shangshu is like this, this Marquis can understand."
"However, Master Shangshu can indeed let people continue to invent new things. Don't rush to mass-produce them, just improve them. Use the spirit crystal to test in the early stage, and when they are perfected, they will be used one day."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
Said so.
"Row."
"With Lord Hou's words, the old man will definitely study it carefully in the future."
"At that time, just ask the household department to approve a sum of money."
Wang Qixin's eyes were firm and excited, as if he had seen the future of Daxia.
"Okay, Wang Shangshu, the dragon boat has been tested, let's go test the treasure ship."
Soon, the dragon boat returned to the foundry.
Gu Jinnian and Wang Qixin rushed directly to the moat, where the treasure ship was built beside the moat.
Still large, medium and small.
The normal speed of the Great Xia Treasure Ship is about [-] kilometers per hour, and it mainly depends on the wind. If there is no wind, it will be [-] kilometers per hour, half of which is manpower. After all, the boat is nothing compared to the dragon boat.
Gu Jinnian and Wang Qixin tested it.
With the blessing of Juling Ancient Formation, the speed of the large treasure ship is close to [-] kilometers per hour.
It is equivalent to the normal speed of the cargo ship in the previous life.
It is equivalent to six times that of the current treasure ship. After all, the wind is only strong when it is at sea. There are basically no strong winds in domestic rivers, and it is purely human.
How exaggerated is six times speed?
The distance from the capital of Daxia to Yangzhou is [-] kilometers. If the river is normal, it will take at least half a month including the wind speed and shortcuts.
And you have to row more than eight hours a day.
Up to three days now.
Twelve days are saved in the middle, but what do these twelve days mean?
The transportation capacity of large treasure ships is more than 20 times that of large dragon boats. Large dragon boats can carry 5000 shi of grain, and large treasure ships can carry more than [-] shi of grain.
If something like Jiangning County happens again, if the river is direct, ten treasure ships can solve all famines.
when the data is presented.
Gu Jinnian was also a little surprised, but Wang Qixin was completely dumbfounded.
He could almost see the future prosperity of Great Xia.
Let’s test the chariot again. The chariot is actually nothing to test. The speed is indeed very fast, but the main problem is that the road is uneven. The speed in an hour is as high as nearly [-] kilometers.
But the ground is uneven and accidents are easy to happen.
Except on the plains.
Moreover, Gu Jinnian discovered a problem, that is, the chariot is small in size, and it should be faster in theory, but the chariot structure is very ordinary, although the aura is not badly absorbed, the main body is already overloaded.
So the chariot idea can end.
Simply try the Daxia Dragon Pao directly.
The power of the Great Xia Dragon Cannon is not bad.
The ancient spirit-gathering array was engraved, and the spiritual energy absorbed for a quarter of an hour. Although its power was not half that of the Great Xia Dragon Cannon, it was still powerful.
The longest range is ten miles.
The power is not bad, a deep pit of about three meters, with a diameter of damage of 20 meters, the power is estimated to be difficult to reach at least the human-dragon level, below the human-dragon level, there will be no survivors within the damage range of the cannon.
It has a good effect. If it is mass-produced, it can perfectly solve the Hun cavalry.
After all, in front of a thousand cannons, a round of bombing can wipe out at least [-] cavalry.
The result was very good, and Gu Jinnian was very satisfied.
After the test results come out.
Gu Jinnian also had some calculations in his heart.
"We are about to develop."
After a while, Gu Jinnian sighed with emotion and patted Wang Qixin on the shoulder.
"Developed, developed."
"It's really about to develop."
Wang Qixin didn't care about Gu Jinnian's behavior at all, but murmured about getting rich.
"When the Great Xia Nightless City is completed, the Great Xia Dragon Boat and the Great Xia Treasure Ship alone will bring us huge profits."
"Wang Shangshu, the greatest luck in your life is to join the business of this Marquis."
"With the blessing of these two things, our business income will be three or four times at least. If the people of the Great Xia Dynasty become rich, think about ten times and a hundred times."
Gu Jinnian muttered to himself.
After saying this, he patted Wang Qixin on the shoulder again.
"Wang Shangshu, please go to the palace and tell His Majesty about these things."
"I won't go, I have to go to the academy."
Gu Jinnian didn't plan to go to the palace anymore, just let Wang Qixin make a trip.
"Go, go, go."
"Master Hou, go slowly."
Wang Qixin nodded repeatedly, but after Gu Jinnian left, Wang Qixin was suddenly taken aback.
"What?"
"Ten times the income?"
Wang Qixin had been in a daze just now, but now that he came back to his senses, he only remembered one sentence in his mind.
Doubling your business income tenfold?
It used to be said that there was tens of thousands of taels of gold income a month, but now it is said to be tenfold?
That is to say, how many 10 taels of gold income a month?How many millions of taels of silver were credited?
After a year, tens of millions of taels of silver?
Isn't the Ministry of Industry equal to the Ministry of Households?
Will the Ministry of Industry still need to look at the face of the Ministry of Households in the future?
Wang Qixin was dumbfounded.
He didn't understand, but he didn't question Gu Jinnian at all.
But, after a quarter of an hour.
Wang Qixin did not hesitate, and walked directly towards the Daxia Palace.
It's just that he doesn't know.
Although Gu Jinnian disappeared, he was still observing secretly. After all, the matter of the gathering spirit array was not a trivial matter.
He does have to monitor it.
Letting Wang Qixin go to the palace is actually telling His Majesty that Wang Qixin also knows about this matter.
It is up to His Majesty to consider for himself.
Gu Jinnian kept watching secretly to make sure that Wang Qixin had no problems, and he didn't leave until after Wang Qixin entered the palace.
And after entering the palace.
Wang Qixin ran all the way, without stopping for a moment, with a happy face, walking towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Soon, he came outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Taking a deep breath, he couldn't hold back his excitement.
"His Majesty."
"I'm rich."
"Oh no, Your Majesty, I have something shocking to report."
Wang Qixin said something wrong, so he quickly changed his words.
(End of this chapter)
Ministry of Industry.
Compared with several other departments, the Ministry of Industry is the busiest department. The officials of the Ministry of Industry who come and go are basically transferring documents.
The work department is very busy.
Civil engineering and water conservancy projects throughout the country must be resolved by the Ministry of Industry.
The entire Ministry of Industry can be divided into three different areas.
Civil engineering and water conservancy, machine manufacturing, and mining and metallurgy are the three largest sectors.
As for the mausoleum and guard of honor, these are trivial matters, at least not many things in normal times.
The main thing is civil engineering across the country. The Ministry of Industry has to build drawings, approve and issue them, followed by machine manufacturing. The main focus is military utensils, followed by civilian utensils.
And this time.
With Gu Jinnian's arrival, someone immediately entered the Ministry of Industry and reported to Wang Qixin and Wang Shangshu.
Before Gu Jinnian entered the Ministry of Industry, Wang Qixin appeared.
"Master Hou."
"Why are you here?"
Wang Qixin walked out quickly, and looked at Gu Jinnian with a puzzled face.
"Master Shangshu, according to His Majesty's will, come to deal with the matter of the Great Xia Dragon Boat and Treasure Ship."
Gu Jinnian lowered his voice and told Wang Shangshu.
"Dragon boat treasure boat?"
"understood."
"Master Hou, shall we go to see the dragon boat first, or go in for a rest?"
Wang Qixin asked aloud.
Wang Qixin didn't dare to neglect Gu Jinnian, not that it was as simple as making Gu Jinnian the First Marquis of Great Xia.
The main reason is that Gu Jinnian is now the benefactor of their Ministry of Industry and the cash cow of the Ministry of Industry. If this is not polite, how will they make money later.
"Go straight to see the dragon boat, so I won't rest. I will go to the academy later, and I will go to the palace tomorrow to prepare for the canonization ceremony."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
"Okay, Master Hou will follow me."
Wang Qixin didn't hesitate and took Gu Jinnian away from the Ministry of Industry.
The foundry of the Ministry of Industry is on the outskirts of Kyoto, and it is heavily guarded. It is impossible to set up a foundry in Kyoto. After all, every inch of land is expensive, and there are many people in Kyoto.
How can it be messed up when it comes to the military industry of the dynasty?
Riding a war horse, Wang Qixin took a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry and went straight to the foundry.
About half an hour later, Gu Jinnian came to the foundry.
The foundry of the Ministry of Industry in Daxia covers an area of 36 acres, with 72 melting pits, [-] iron pots, [-] furnace rooms, and [-] workers. Most of them are here to forge some top-level armor and knives.
And there is also a huge open space for experimenting with armored swords.
There is still a quarter of the place, which is used to develop some livelihood artifacts, as well as the mint.
"Master Hou."
"Your Majesty has given instructions a few days ago to ask the Ministry of Industry to build three dragon boats, three treasure ships, and three chariots each, and to build them in large, medium and small styles. Take a look, this is a large dragon boat built by the Ministry of Industry."
After bringing Gu Jinnian into the foundry, Wang Qixin pointed to an open space and said so.
On the open space, there are indeed three dragon boats of different sizes.
The current dragon boats of the Great Xia Dynasty are about 22 feet long, [-] feet wide, and [-] feet high.
The large dragon boat built by the Ministry of Industry is [-] feet long, [-] feet wide, and [-] feet high, divided into four floors.
This is large.
The medium-sized dragon boat is twenty feet long, fifteen feet wide, and nine feet high, just like a normal dragon boat.
The small dragon boat is twelve feet long, eight feet wide, and five feet high.
Looking at the dragon boat, Wang Qixin's voice sounded.
"His Royal Highness, this large dragon boat can accommodate three thousand soldiers at one go, and if it transports grain, it can transport three thousand shi of grain."
"A medium-sized dragon boat can accommodate two thousand soldiers, and if it transports food, it can accommodate about two thousand stone grains."
"A small dragon boat can hold a thousand armored soldiers, and transport about a thousand grains of grain."
One stone is 120 catties, and three thousand stones is 36 catties, which is equivalent to a load-bearing capacity of 180 tons.
The large-scale dragon boat transports a load of 180 tons, the medium-sized one is 120 tons, and the small-sized one is [-] tons.
It's actually pretty good.
It is quite good that flying objects can transport 180 tons. After all, what is transported is not necessarily food. Except for disaster relief, transporting food has no meaning, and transporting goods is the key.
In the Guangjiang lineage, there is something called Baiyuguo, or lychee. The price of this thing in Guangjiang varies from high to low. No more than twelve taels.
But when this thing is sold in the capital of Daxia, the starting price is 50 taels a hang, that's right, it's a hang, about half a catty.
And it is priceless.
Along the road, ice and stones are used to transport by sea. Every city has to transport ice to keep it fresh. The white jade fruit transported from Guangjiang will take [-] days at the fastest to be delivered.
Unless some monks are invited to come and transport them, the imperial court will ask some monks to specially send top-quality white jade fruit every year. This is a tribute.
In addition, the crown prince has two, the crown prince has one, and Li Ji has one,
This thing is counted as a piece, which proves the value of the white jade fruit.
If you use a dragon boat to deliver, under the freezing effect, as long as you can reach Daxia Capital within three days, this thing is a hundred and two catties, twenty or thirty times the profit.
Don't worry if you can't sell it, there are a lot of rich people in Beijing in Daxia.
If a dragon boat transports 1000 catties, how much profit will there be?Close to [-] million taels of silver.
Of course, if the price is lowered and sold at a low price, everyone in Kyoto can afford it. If we break down the grades, the rich will buy good quality, and the poor will buy normal ones. They all taste the same anyway.
This item alone is a steady stream of money.
"What is the fastest speed of the Great Xia dragon boat? If the cost of the spirit crystal is not included."
Gu Jinnian glanced at the dragon boat, then asked Wang Qixin this question.
"Go back to Lord Marquis."
"If you don't count the cost, [-] miles a day is the limit, but it needs to consume at least ten catties of spirit crystals."
Wang Qixin answered.
"The market price of a catty of spirit crystal is 10 taels of silver."
Finally, Wang Qixin also reminded the value of the spirit crystal.
10 taels of silver, a catty of spirit crystals.
Travel [-] miles a day.
The cost consumption of 40 taels of silver is really outrageous.
Forty thousand miles is equal to 660 kilometers, and twelve hours a day is equal to [-] kilometers per hour.
Half an hour is 830 three kilometers.
To be honest, this speed is not particularly fast. The fastest speed of a fighter jet in the previous life was [-] kilometers per hour.
This is only 830 three kilometers.
The only difference is that one fuel tank will be gone when it is empty, and the other can be accelerated as long as it has spirit crystals. After all, fighter jets are individualized, and they are too small to carry heavy loads. This thing can carry heavy loads.
But the cost consumption is exaggerated, 40 taels of silver is equal to 1000 million copper plates.
Not worth it at all.
"How much money did it cost to build?"
Gu Jinnian spoke up and continued to ask about the manufacturing cost of the dragon boat.
"Back to Lord Hou, it takes 10 taels of silver to build a large dragon boat, 7 taels of silver for a medium-sized dragon boat, and 4 taels of silver for a small dragon boat."
Wang Qixin replied.
The cost is good, mainly because iron ore is expensive. The iron used to build the dragon boat is not an ordinary iron stone, but an extremely strong iron stone, especially the chassis, which can ensure that the dragon boat will not be damaged in any way after landing. Wear and tear is normal.
Therefore, it generally falls on the water, rarely on the ground, and there will be a certain amount of suspension.
"How many years can it be used?"
Gu Jinnian asked.
"It's hard to say. Generally, if you don't use it often, you can use it for ten years if you take care of it carefully. If you use it frequently, it will probably last about three years."
The latter gives an answer.
"What's the reason? Is there a material problem?"
Three years is a bit short. To be honest, the cost of construction is 10 taels of silver, plus maintenance fees, and some labor costs. After three years, at least 20 taels of silver must be included in it.
It only took three years to lose some money.
"Well, the material problem is the most important."
"It can be improved, but the cost will be even greater."
Wang Qixin nodded.
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian didn't think too much about it, since the cost would be greater, so there is really no need to improve anything for the time being.
"Row."
"I'll go up and have a look, you wait below."
Gu Jinnian didn't talk too much, he took off directly and came to the dragon boat. As for Wang Qixin and others, they watched from below the dragon boat.
The exterior of a dragon boat is actually no different from the deck. The imagination of the ancients is actually like this. It is obviously an aircraft, so it must be made into a dragon boat, but it doesn't matter.
The only thing Gu Jinnian is looking forward to now is one.
How strong is the effect of the 'Juling Ancient Formation'?
If you can't make the dragon boat fly, or if you don't have enough speed, then it doesn't mean much.
If you can make a large dragon boat fly.
Gu Jinnian couldn't help but bold ideas appeared in his mind.
Great Xia fighter.
Daxia aircraft carrier group.
If these things are sorted out, it will redefine the pattern.
Of course, Gu Jinnian's idea is just ahead of his time. It is still impossible to come up with a fighter jet, but it is possible to come up with something with the same effect, such as a super small dragon boat, which is not too much to hold gunpowder, right?
Flying to the sky and bombing directly, from the actual effect, this is a fighter jet.
It's just a castrated fighter.
The aircraft carrier group is even better. The main core function of the aircraft carrier is to transport fighter jets, and then install hundreds of Daxialong cannons to directly transform into a sea supremacy.
Mastered air supremacy and sea domain rights.
Then the next step is much simpler. Fighting around air supremacy, first a round of artillery bombardment, then let the soldiers of Daxia control the dragon boat, another round of carpet bombing, and then let the soldiers on the ground rush in to harvest.
How is this fight going?
If it really works, then the next war launched by the Great Xia Dynasty can make the whole world dumbfounded.
Three hours to defeat the Huns on all fronts.
Take the Xiongnu royal court at six hours.
Change the meaning of warfare, directly converting from cavalry warfare to semi-modern warfare.
Of course, all of the above is Gu Jinnian's own imagination, and the process to realize it is difficult and long.
Everything depends on whether the 'Juling Ancient Formation' has any effect.
If it works, and if the effect is large, then there is really hope to enter pseudo-industrialization.
If it doesn't work, or if it doesn't work much, it can only increase agricultural and transportation production.
Dragon boat interior.
Gu Jinnian came to the spiritual crystal furnace. It is not so much a spiritual crystal furnace as a sunken formation map with formations engraved on it. As long as the spiritual crystal is placed inside, the dragon boat can be continuously powered .
However, Gu Jinnian was on the other side, engraving the ancient array of gathering spirits.
Wait for the array map to be printed.
Gu Jinnian entered a seal.
Then he let out a long breath, his eyes filled with anticipation.
However, under the dragon boat.
The voices of some officials from the Ministry of Industry could not help but ring out.
"My lord, why does Your Majesty want to build a dragon boat again?"
"Yeah, dragon boats don't have much value. The cost of flying is too high, and the cost is not cheap. It's better to build a few more treasure ships."
"Well, I have a lot of waterways in Daxia, and dragon boats are useless. It takes two or three catties of spirit crystals to go back and forth for three thousand miles. Hours will run."
The Ministry of Industry officials were a little curious and asked Wang Qixin.
Hearing these voices, Wang Qixin was also a little puzzled. He didn't know why Emperor Yongsheng suddenly asked the Ministry of Industry to build a new dragon boat, but he didn't want to ask too much.
"I don't know what His Majesty means, let's not make wild guesses."
Wang Qixin spoke up, not wanting to say more.
"Hey, Your Majesty, please don't think about reviving the dragon boat. All countries in the world are studying the dragon boat. It is said that the Central Continent Dynasty is also researching the dragon boat. They have invested a lot of silver, but nothing has been researched."
"10,000+ taels of silver was consumed."
An official spoke up and said so.
"For this large dragon boat to operate, it needs at least five catties of spirit crystals for a thousand miles. If it is full of people, it may cost seven or eight catties. The gain outweighs the loss."
"It's all a loss for disaster relief."
Some officials also spoke out, pointing at this large dragon boat.
Several people are officials from the Ministry of Industry, so the calculation is correct.
Just at this moment, bursts of strange voices sounded.
boom!boom!
creak!creak!
With this strange sound sounded.
Soon, everyone understood what had happened.
It was the dragon boat that moved.
I saw that the large dragon boat on the far left took off directly, suspended in the air bit by bit, a full height of several hundred meters, and finally sank into the clouds.
Then the dragon boat set off, the initial speed was not very fast, but as time passed, the speed became faster and faster.
Inside the dragon boat, the Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy, which accelerated the speed of the dragon boat.
Gu Jinnian continued to bless the ancient spirit-juling array and flew for half an hour. Gu Jinnian looked down and saw an ancient city.
Calculating in my heart, it was almost five hundred miles.
Good guy, this is fast enough.
Five hundred miles is equal to 250 kilometers, which is definitely not enough compared to the planes of the previous life, but for ancient times, this speed is completely enough.
Five hundred kilometers per hour.
Twelve hours are [-] kilometers, and the Great Xia Dynasty spanned [-] kilometers from east to west.
In other words, it only takes three days and three nights to span the Great Xia Dynasty.
That's not bad.
The most important thing is that the dragon boat under my feet is a large dragon boat.
What about a small dragon boat?It should not be a big problem if the speed has been increased by two or three times. Even if it is transformed into the smallest dragon boat and used for war and military purposes, it will definitely not be a big problem at [-] kilometers per hour.
One day spans a Great Xia dynasty.
In terms of speed, it is completely enough.
At least in the era of cold weapons, this speed is completely enough. As for the future improvement, we will talk about it later.
It's like when everyone is using cold weapons, you suddenly come up with a machine gun. Even the worst and most common machine guns are definitely not comparable to cold weapons.
No matter how strong your cavalry is, within a hundred paces, in front of machine guns, everything is extra food.
For war, this speed is definitely enough, and it is completely fine to catch the enemy by surprise.
It may be a lot worse to meet Gu Jinnian's expectations.
But the domestic transportation is completely fine, and his own Great Xia Night City is basically guaranteed.
The most frightening point is that there is no need to consume spirit crystals, and it can automatically absorb the aura of heaven and earth. This alone is enough.
perfect.
It's perfect.
Gu Jinnian controlled the dragon boat to turn around.
After trying to accelerate it, I finally found that the speed was fixed at about [-] kilometers per hour, and it was almost too fast.
Very good, very good.
An hour later.
Daxia Foundry.
The dragon boat landed slowly, and finally with a dull sound, the large dragon boat was completely stabilized.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Jinnian went straight to the smallest dragon boat.
And Wang Qixin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also walked quickly, and came to Gu Jinnian and said.
"Master Hou."
"There's no need to test it. If this small dragon boat flies for an hour, it needs at least three to forty thousand taels of silver worth of spirit crystals."
Wang Qixin appeared and informed Gu Jinnian that the spirit crystal of the small dragon boat was depleted.
He subconsciously thought that Gu Jinnian was testing the depletion of the spirit crystal, so he stepped forward to remind him, feeling a little distressed.
After all, just now Gu Jinnian launched the large dragon boat to go back and forth for two hours. They also calculated just now that at least half a catty of spirit crystals are gone. This is [-] to [-] silver.
Just a random test, close to one hundred thousand taels of silver is in vain, how can they not feel distressed?
The Ministry of Industry was already poor, and they were reluctant to use money, even if it was Gu Jinnian's own expense.
Pure white to ah.
"About half a catty?"
"Then just now, how many spiritual crystals will be used for the large dragon boat that travels a thousand miles per hour?"
Gu Jinnian asked curiously.
"One thousand miles, that's not fast, about half a catty."
"But Lord Hou, don't you know what you use yourself?"
Wang Qixin said with some pain.
"Half a catty?"
"That's not bad."
After getting this answer, Gu Jinnian was very satisfied. He saved half a catty of Lingjing in one hour, which was equivalent to saving 5 taels of silver. If it took twelve hours, it would be 60 taels of silver.
It is used to transport the goods, and the water freight alone is worth millions of silver every day.
Blood fucking earned.
If this is not a SF Express, I am really sorry for Juling Ancient Formation.
There is one more way to make money.
"It's not bad?"
"Master Hou, Da Xia doesn't have many spirit crystals stored, so let's not waste them."
Wang Qixin said with a bitter face.
"Who said Benhou was wasted."
"Let's go, show you the world."
Gu Jinnian grabbed Wang Qixin and jumped straight onto the dragon boat.
Then regardless of Wang Qixin's long-winded words, the past was to engrave the ancient formation of gathering spirits.
After entering the array seal.
Gu Jinnian activated the formation.
At that moment, the small dragon boat set off, gradually took off, fully rose to an altitude of a thousand meters, passed the bottom clouds, and then began to fly.
The speed of small dragon boats is obviously much faster than that of large dragon boats.
And next to the spirit crystal furnace.
Wang Qixin was a little surprised.
"Master Hou."
"Why did you carve another spirit crystal formation?"
He was a little curious, looked at the Juling ancient formation, and looked at Gu Jinnian with some doubts.
"This is not a spirit crystal array."
"It's the Spirit Gathering Formation."
Gu Jinnian spoke quietly, and did not hide it from Wang Qixin.
To be honest, Wang Qixingui is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, so it doesn't make much sense to hide it from him. He knows everything about the Ministry of Industry when he comes to the Ministry of Industry.
Now that the experiment is successful, His Majesty must build a large number of dragon boats. If he can't give a suitable reason, Wang Qixin will definitely not agree.
Although no one dares to disobey the emperor's words, you can't do anything reckless.
The mass production of dragon boats requires money and has to be approved by the Ministry of Households. The Ministry of Industry refuses to agree and resolutely resists.
At that time, His Majesty still has to explain the situation.
Furthermore, it's not that there is something wrong with the brain if the important affairs of the country are done without telling the Ministry of Industry?
It's better not to have the Ministry of Industry, and the imperial power is directly autocratic.
It's better to just let Wang Qixin know what it is, so that he can be sure of his mind.
"The Spirit Gathering Array?"
"Master Hou, I, Wang, don't study much, so don't lie to me."
"How could the spirit gathering array make the dragon boat run? And the speed is so fast?"
This time Wang Qixin was dumbfounded.
He couldn't believe that this was the Spirit Gathering Formation.
"The ancient spirit-gathering formation that this Marquis got by chance is a hundred times the effect of the ordinary spirit-gathering formation, and there is no need to bless spirit crystals, Wang Shangshu, you don't think that your majesty is full and has nothing to do, so let you build a few dragon boats for fun? "
Gu Jinnian's tone was calm.
At the same time, I am feeling the speed of the small dragon boat.
The fastest speed is indeed twice that of a large dragon boat, that is, one thousand kilometers per hour.
It is a little less than the expected [-] kilometers, and the volume is still too large, so it should be adjusted down.
But it was ok and didn't disappoint.
It's just that Wang Qixin on the side is already numb in place.
His breathing gradually became short of breath.
His eyes were fixed on Gu Jinnian.
"Master Hou."
"You...you didn't lie to the old man?"
Wang Qixin was short of breath, and couldn't help shaking his hands. Just like Parkinson, he pointed at Gu Jinnian and said tremblingly.
"Wang Shangshu, I really didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself. This Marquis didn't take out the spirit crystal."
Gu Jinnian replied lightly.
next moment.
Wang Qixin's voice sounded.
"hiss!"
"Impossible, this is impossible, this is impossible."
"How could there be such an ancient formation that doesn't need spirit crystals and can automatically absorb the spiritual energy of the world to make the dragon boat fly?"
"That's impossible."
Wang Qixin gasped, and then kept mumbling that it was impossible.
But when he searched the inside of the dragon boat carefully, he did not find a spirit crystal, and finally Wang Qixin had to believe it.
"Hahahahahaha."
"Da Xia is about to take off, Da Xia is about to take off."
"The artifact of the country, the artifact of the country, this is the artifact of the country."
"Master Hou, the two of us are going to be prosperous, we are going to be prosperous."
Soon, ear-piercing laughter rang out, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was in his fifties, was dancing excitedly, and even wanted to hug Gu Jinnian in the end.
Fortunately, Gu Jinnian had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he pushed Wang Qixin away and said seriously.
"My lord, I'm about to get rich. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't rub it."
Gu Jinnian said seriously.
Horse riding, this matter is completely led by myself.
What does it have to do with you?Can this be done hard?You are disgusting here, right?
"Master Hou, whoever sees it has a share."
"Hahahaha, it doesn't matter if you don't have credit, Da Xia is really going to take off this time, it's my honor to see such artifacts born in my lifetime, my honor."
"Hahahahaha."
Wang Qixin was completely insane. He lay directly on the ground, wanting to hold the dragon boat and laugh.
But Gu Jinnian could also understand the other party's emotions.
it's common.
Who is not excited?
Even if ordinary people can't think of it, they know how important this kind of aircraft is in terms of military warfare.
Among other things, trade and transportation alone can promote the economic development of the Great Xia Dynasty. Of course, the cost of dragon boats is here, and it must be difficult to achieve comprehensive transportation.
But the problem is, there are treasure ships and chariots.
With the combination of sea, land and air, the cost of water transportation is greatly reduced, and the trade promoted is absolutely leveraged.
After half an hour.
Wang Qixin woke up from the excitement, then looked at Gu Jinnian and said.
"Master Hou."
"Can this ancient spirit gathering array be applied to any artifact?"
Wang Qixin was a little excited, looking at Gu Jinnian, his old face was extremely rosy.
"It's still not possible in some places."
"Master Shangshu, don't think too much."
Gu Jinnian frowned slightly, as a friendly reminder.
"No, Master Hou, what I mean is, utensils, don't make a mistake."
Although Wang Qixin didn't know what Gu Jinnian thought of, he still explained.
"But when it comes to utensils, it should apply to everything."
Gu Jinnian nodded and replied like this.
"hiss."
"That's really developed."
"Master Hou, the Ministry of Industry has many newly invented utensils. For example, there is a thing called a crane, which can pull tens of thousands of catties and use it to build palaces."
"However, we can only rely on manpower, so that the cost and salary are too high. If we use spirit crystals, the cost will be even greater, so there is no mass production. It is currently used for palace construction, and this kind of thing is needed for Lord Hou's Great Summer Night City. .”
"But if there is this ancient spirit-gathering formation, it can save a lot of labor, and it can be used to build bridges and roads. This alone can save countless expenses, and it can open up many major cities between cities. Channels benefit the country and the people, benefit the country and the people."
Wang Qixin said excitedly.
After saying this, Gu Jinnian became interested.
He had a general idea of what it was, a crane, and it did work.
What I didn't expect was that the Ministry of Industry even invented this, as expected of the Ministry of Industry.
To be honest, Gu Jinnian had always thought that the Ministry of Industry was purely focused on military development, but what he didn't expect was that it had made some achievements in this area.
"This is fine."
"Are there any other inventions?"
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
"Yes, there are many. As long as this ancient spirit-gathering array can be applied to all utensils, the Ministry of Industry has many inventions, and there are even land cultivators, but they also need the activation of spirit crystals."
"Now, if we have this ancient spirit-gathering array, combined with the land cultivator, it will be able to improve the plight of many fertile fields."
"Master Hou, this thing of yours can change the Great Xia Dynasty. In every aspect, there are too many places that can be transformed."
Wang Qixin was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Ministry of Industry.
The main focus is on the military, and the other is coinage. Other inventions are not invented.
For example, the cultivator mentioned just now was invented five years ago, but it is useless, because there is no power, and cattle are still needed to cultivate.
It even needs seven or eight cattle to pull in front, just like pulling a cart, and the cattle may not be obedient, and they may go in the wrong direction, causing the utensils to stop.
Besides, if there are seven or eight cattle, who would use this thing?
And the main reason is that the strength of the cattle will also be exhausted. Once the power of the cattle is lost, the utensil will be useless at all.
However, spirit crystals can be used instead of cattle.
But here comes the problem, a catty of spirit crystal costs 10 taels of silver, even if it can be used for one day, it can reclaim one hundred mu of land a day.
This 10 taels of silver can also buy a hundred acres of land, right?
With this money, what is wrong with doing something like plowing the land?Have a problem with your brain?
But now it's different, with Gu Jinnian's ancient spirit-gathering formation, the Great Xia Dynasty will undergo qualitative changes, and many artifacts of the Ministry of Industry will exert their maximum effect.
Change the entire dynasty structure.
Wang Qixin can meet the budget.
If it is really useful, if conditions permit, within one year, all the abandoned fertile land in Daxia can be reclaimed.
In this way, the grain tax of the Great Xia Dynasty must be tripled at least.
This grain tax was one of the biggest sources of income for the Great Xia Dynasty, and there was no such thing as one of them.
The grain tax collected by the Great Xia Dynasty every year, deducting their own reservations in various places, ten million taels of silver cannot escape.
What does tripling mean?
It means that [-] taels of silver are credited into the account every year, and the common people have food and gradually become richer, and business and trade will be more prosperous, and the prosperous age will come directly.
The judgment of the Eastern Wasteland on the flourishing age is that the common people can have enough to eat.
Therefore, Wang Qixin understands how terrifying the value of this thing is.
"Wang Shangshu."
"It's hard to say, it depends on the specific situation."
"And temporarily, this ancient spirit gathering array will only appear on dragon boats, treasure ships, chariots and cannons, and should not appear in other places."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
A bucket of cold water was poured on Wang Qixin.
"Why is this?"
Hearing this, Wang Qixin was a little startled. It was obviously something that benefited the country and the people, so why did he hold it back?
"Don't Wang Shangshu understand?"
"What this thing means, I think you know better than anyone else."
"If it is used on a large scale, it will definitely be spread. If it is really spread, what will the major dynasties think?"
"At that time, will I ask the Daxia Dynasty for it? If the Fuluo Dynasty, the Dajin Dynasty, or even the Zhongzhou Dynasty come to ask for this ancient spirit gathering array, what should I do?"
Gu Jinnian said lightly.
It's not that he doesn't understand the value of the ancient spirit gathering array, it's because he understands that Gu Jinnian knows it and needs to hide it.
At least build a large number of dragon boats and treasure ships, commercialization is necessary, but militarization is more important.
Create an invincible fleet and master the air supremacy. Only in this way will you not be afraid of the enemy's coveting.
If you really dare to reach out to ask for it, then the opponent who hits you will not dare to reach out.
And this is a long plan that requires patience.
In the early stage, I didn't worry about taking dragon boats and treasure ships out. I publicized that the Great Xia Dynasty had discovered several large spirit crystal mines, and then used dragon boats and treasure ships to transport goods at all costs in order to develop the dynasty's economy.
For the other dynasties, although it is a bit sour, it will not let them tear their faces directly.
After all, the great fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty has risen, and it is reasonable to discover a few spirit crystal mines. Didn't this kind of thing happen in the Great Jin Dynasty before?A very large psionic crystal mine has been discovered.
It is estimated that at least 20 catties of spirit crystals can be excavated. Isn't it true that the major dynasties have nothing to say?
Now that the Great Xia Dynasty has also discovered it, what can you do?
First do a good job in the domestic economy, and then secretly train new arms.
When it's done.
What if the enemy knows about it?
Gu Jinnian's words made Wang Qixin gradually calm down.
"Been taught a lesson."
"What Hou Ye said is very true, the old man was impulsive."
Wang Qixin took a deep breath and calmed down. He was so excited just now, that's why he was like this.
Calm down now, after listening to what Gu Jinnian said, I feel that there is indeed no problem.
If this thing is applicable to a large area, people will definitely notice it, and after careful investigation, it is found that your Great Xia Dynasty actually has an ancient formation that can make dragon boats fly without spirit crystals.
To be honest, people are not stupid, they can think of many things at once.
At that time, everyone will come to your door to ask for it.
don't give?
Call if you don't give.
It is still the same as before, when a dynasty possesses destructive weapons, it will become an enemy of the whole world.
It's death anyway, and no one wants to succumb to your feet.
But when several dynasties have destructive weapons, the world will become very quiet.
And as long as it becomes the strongest existence among these dynasties.
Then you are number one in the world.
"Master Shangshu is like this, this Marquis can understand."
"However, Master Shangshu can indeed let people continue to invent new things. Don't rush to mass-produce them, just improve them. Use the spirit crystal to test in the early stage, and when they are perfected, they will be used one day."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
Said so.
"Row."
"With Lord Hou's words, the old man will definitely study it carefully in the future."
"At that time, just ask the household department to approve a sum of money."
Wang Qixin's eyes were firm and excited, as if he had seen the future of Daxia.
"Okay, Wang Shangshu, the dragon boat has been tested, let's go test the treasure ship."
Soon, the dragon boat returned to the foundry.
Gu Jinnian and Wang Qixin rushed directly to the moat, where the treasure ship was built beside the moat.
Still large, medium and small.
The normal speed of the Great Xia Treasure Ship is about [-] kilometers per hour, and it mainly depends on the wind. If there is no wind, it will be [-] kilometers per hour, half of which is manpower. After all, the boat is nothing compared to the dragon boat.
Gu Jinnian and Wang Qixin tested it.
With the blessing of Juling Ancient Formation, the speed of the large treasure ship is close to [-] kilometers per hour.
It is equivalent to the normal speed of the cargo ship in the previous life.
It is equivalent to six times that of the current treasure ship. After all, the wind is only strong when it is at sea. There are basically no strong winds in domestic rivers, and it is purely human.
How exaggerated is six times speed?
The distance from the capital of Daxia to Yangzhou is [-] kilometers. If the river is normal, it will take at least half a month including the wind speed and shortcuts.
And you have to row more than eight hours a day.
Up to three days now.
Twelve days are saved in the middle, but what do these twelve days mean?
The transportation capacity of large treasure ships is more than 20 times that of large dragon boats. Large dragon boats can carry 5000 shi of grain, and large treasure ships can carry more than [-] shi of grain.
If something like Jiangning County happens again, if the river is direct, ten treasure ships can solve all famines.
when the data is presented.
Gu Jinnian was also a little surprised, but Wang Qixin was completely dumbfounded.
He could almost see the future prosperity of Great Xia.
Let’s test the chariot again. The chariot is actually nothing to test. The speed is indeed very fast, but the main problem is that the road is uneven. The speed in an hour is as high as nearly [-] kilometers.
But the ground is uneven and accidents are easy to happen.
Except on the plains.
Moreover, Gu Jinnian discovered a problem, that is, the chariot is small in size, and it should be faster in theory, but the chariot structure is very ordinary, although the aura is not badly absorbed, the main body is already overloaded.
So the chariot idea can end.
Simply try the Daxia Dragon Pao directly.
The power of the Great Xia Dragon Cannon is not bad.
The ancient spirit-gathering array was engraved, and the spiritual energy absorbed for a quarter of an hour. Although its power was not half that of the Great Xia Dragon Cannon, it was still powerful.
The longest range is ten miles.
The power is not bad, a deep pit of about three meters, with a diameter of damage of 20 meters, the power is estimated to be difficult to reach at least the human-dragon level, below the human-dragon level, there will be no survivors within the damage range of the cannon.
It has a good effect. If it is mass-produced, it can perfectly solve the Hun cavalry.
After all, in front of a thousand cannons, a round of bombing can wipe out at least [-] cavalry.
The result was very good, and Gu Jinnian was very satisfied.
After the test results come out.
Gu Jinnian also had some calculations in his heart.
"We are about to develop."
After a while, Gu Jinnian sighed with emotion and patted Wang Qixin on the shoulder.
"Developed, developed."
"It's really about to develop."
Wang Qixin didn't care about Gu Jinnian's behavior at all, but murmured about getting rich.
"When the Great Xia Nightless City is completed, the Great Xia Dragon Boat and the Great Xia Treasure Ship alone will bring us huge profits."
"Wang Shangshu, the greatest luck in your life is to join the business of this Marquis."
"With the blessing of these two things, our business income will be three or four times at least. If the people of the Great Xia Dynasty become rich, think about ten times and a hundred times."
Gu Jinnian muttered to himself.
After saying this, he patted Wang Qixin on the shoulder again.
"Wang Shangshu, please go to the palace and tell His Majesty about these things."
"I won't go, I have to go to the academy."
Gu Jinnian didn't plan to go to the palace anymore, just let Wang Qixin make a trip.
"Go, go, go."
"Master Hou, go slowly."
Wang Qixin nodded repeatedly, but after Gu Jinnian left, Wang Qixin was suddenly taken aback.
"What?"
"Ten times the income?"
Wang Qixin had been in a daze just now, but now that he came back to his senses, he only remembered one sentence in his mind.
Doubling your business income tenfold?
It used to be said that there was tens of thousands of taels of gold income a month, but now it is said to be tenfold?
That is to say, how many 10 taels of gold income a month?How many millions of taels of silver were credited?
After a year, tens of millions of taels of silver?
Isn't the Ministry of Industry equal to the Ministry of Households?
Will the Ministry of Industry still need to look at the face of the Ministry of Households in the future?
Wang Qixin was dumbfounded.
He didn't understand, but he didn't question Gu Jinnian at all.
But, after a quarter of an hour.
Wang Qixin did not hesitate, and walked directly towards the Daxia Palace.
It's just that he doesn't know.
Although Gu Jinnian disappeared, he was still observing secretly. After all, the matter of the gathering spirit array was not a trivial matter.
He does have to monitor it.
Letting Wang Qixin go to the palace is actually telling His Majesty that Wang Qixin also knows about this matter.
It is up to His Majesty to consider for himself.
Gu Jinnian kept watching secretly to make sure that Wang Qixin had no problems, and he didn't leave until after Wang Qixin entered the palace.
And after entering the palace.
Wang Qixin ran all the way, without stopping for a moment, with a happy face, walking towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Soon, he came outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Taking a deep breath, he couldn't hold back his excitement.
"His Majesty."
"I'm rich."
"Oh no, Your Majesty, I have something shocking to report."
Wang Qixin said something wrong, so he quickly changed his words.
