Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 228 Can't Capture the Charm of the Heavenly God Dog (Second Change)
He didn't pay attention to Cai Laoliu who had a dark face, eyes that were about to burst into flames, and who was muttering something with his mouth.

Gao Zhang continued to walk through the workshop with a sense of accomplishment, although he didn't come here often.

But this workshop has gathered a lot of my own hard work, using waterwheels for forging, which is naturally from my own handwriting.

There is also the grinding wheel, which is not complicated, just get some corundum and grind it into fine pieces, mix it with clay, press it into shape, and burn it to get it done.

Although corundum Gaozhang didn't know where to find it, he couldn't stand the fact that there were so many talented people in the Song Dynasty. Think about it, the Chinese nation has been making jade articles since ancient times.

Regardless of nephrite or jadeite, cutting tools are definitely needed, and corundum, a relatively common hard and refractory gem, is very suitable.

As for the stepping machine, it can be done with a few metal parts and a wooden table.

For Gao Zhang, an art student studying science, this is not a difficult task.

It is precisely because of the emergence of these various machines that the Kaifeng Metal Workshop, which has less than [-] craftsmen, can produce enough hand knives for the imperial court in such a short period of time.

After inspecting a large circle, Gao Zhang stood in the workshop, looking at everything here with a sense of accomplishment.

Lao Gao's family has invested a lot of money here, and he has put in countless painstaking efforts and sweat.

Although I sold my shares in order to lick the foolish king, even if it is 30 hand knives, the profit of a copper plate will not fall into my pocket.

But when he thought of the long-standing disadvantage of Song Dynasty's waste, he was torn apart by himself. No amount of money could buy such a refreshing feeling.

What's more, as a fuel supplier and iron material supplier for Kaifeng Metal Workshop, I also make my scalp numb, okay?

Yes, the iron materials and fuels of Kaifeng Metal Workshop are supplied by Xueji Glass Workshop.

Fortunately, whether it is coking or smelting iron ore, it is a supply of raw materials, and the output is quite abundant. For example, there are almost two thousand catties of coke in one furnace.

In addition to the hand knives made today, the weight of a hand knife is less than two catties.

So the raw materials can be fully supplied.

"Master Zhu, how long will it take for the last batch of hand knives?"

"Little Gao Zhuangyuan, all the deliveries can be made within seven days at most."

"Seven days, right? Well, let's wait seven days later, and we'll see you at the Weapons Supervision. I hope you will continue to ensure the quality. I don't want the last batch of goods to have problems."

Hearing the hidden warning in the tone of Gao Zhang, the No. [-] Scholar, the treasurer Zhu quickly swore to the sky that he would never dare to cheat and ruin the name of Kaifeng Metal Workshop.

30 hand knives, the agreement signed between Kaifeng Metal Workshop and the imperial court is [-] yuan per handle.

This figure, compared to the cost of official workshops, is almost [-] yuan lower. The cost of official workshops is generally between two and two hundred to three hundred yuan.

It is precisely because the agreement price given by Kaifeng Metal Workshop is so low that those ministers and workers who oppose the outsourcing of ordnance can only shut their mouths in resentment.

Coupled with repeated sampling inspections, the quality is still better than that of official workshops, which further strengthens the determination of officials.

As for power eunuchs and treacherous prime ministers, their sons are all in charge of this project, and Tong Guan is happy to see that the weapons in the hands of the soldiers are better and the battles are more valiant.

The treacherous prime minister, Cai Jing, is the leading figure of the reformist faction, so he is naturally happy to see it succeed.

This is also the reason why no one dared to jump out to make trouble after the conflict in Zhao Ji Workshop.

30 handles has already reduced the cost of hand knives to around the same level.

In other words, the profit obtained from 30 hand knives is as high as 15 guan.

It's no wonder that in future generations, apart from drugs, the most lucrative business is arms. This is really true.

Gao Zhang, who was crackling with small abacus in his heart, was very happy.

As for what kind of ordnance business can be undertaken after the hand knife, hehe, there are too many.

It's just that Gao Zhang had already started to conduct detailed inspections when the hand knives were delivered to the first batch.

The conclusion is that there are two choices for the next target of Kaifeng Metal Workshop, one is the bow and the other is the helmet.

There are many kinds of bows in the Song Dynasty, and it is precisely because of the variety that they are too complicated, which is not conducive to the equipment, repair and replenishment of ordnance.

From ancient times to modern times, all weapons, in the eyes of military strategists, are as simple as possible, and simple is conducive to maintenance and repair.

Anyway, Gao Zhang really wanted to continue with these two projects. After all, there are all kinds of helmets in today's Song Dynasty.

Especially the helmets of ordinary soldiers are really horrible, but this thing is the most important armor.

Thinking of later generations, even though armor was canceled during World War I and World War II, helmets are still popular in the world, and they are still in use until the 21st century.

After all, if a limb is injured, even if it is broken, at least one can still live, but with a broken brain, there is no other way out except to go to Jiuquan.

The brain is broken here, not referring to the weird brains like Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, but referring to being broken by physical attacks.

Of course, damage to the brain by magic attacks is another matter, and it is not within the scope of the discussion of the historical plane.

Gao Zhang strolled to the palace again, he came here today to tell the official Zhao Ji the good news that the outsourcing of hand knives is about to be completed.

The second news is that he wants to give the samples from his own workshop to Zhao Ji, the official, to have a look first. As long as this foolish master is dealt with, then the next step will be easy.

It can be seen that this newly promoted favorite minister Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan entered the palace, and the eunuch respectfully led him straight to the palace.

But at this moment, the official Zhao Ji did not stay in that study, but stayed in a gazebo.

In an open space not far from the gazebo, there are more than a dozen hounds brought in, but these hounds are obviously not friendly to each other.

Either they are gnawing at each other, or they are flirting with each other, wanting to talk about the last outstanding love.

This makes Zhao Ji, the talented and stupid king of the Song Dynasty, who rolls up his sleeves and prepares to do a big job, ah no... ready to paint a dog with splashed ink, very painful.

After all, I want to engage in artistic creation, you are either grinning your teeth there, or arching your waist there, and some of you just collapsed on the ground to rest.

I really can't inspire the creative inspiration of the official Zhao Ji, and I always feel that I can't capture the charm of the god dog that ascends to heaven.

At this moment, the official Zhao Ji couldn't help but began to miss that Xiaotian who squinted his eyes, stretched his neck, and wagged his tail almost to the afterimage after seeing him...

Thinking of this, the official Zhao Ji couldn't help turning his head to look at Yang Jian beside him.

"???"
