Datang first village

The next day, the investment promotion meeting on the steel workshop was held on time.Li Yuanxing is more willing to believe that Cui Junsu, Li Jing and others went there not to watch, but to suppress the situation.

Even at critical times, they can come out to determine the name!

Today is the day for Li Yuanxing to go home. Recently, every time Li Yuanxing comes to this day, he will feel troubled because he doesn't know what to bring back. Sometimes it is not good to have too many antiques.Today, because the seven concubines are busy, there is no gift from Li Lanshan.

But when I go back empty-handed, I always feel that something is missing?

Li Yuanxing sighed softly, thinking that Wu Zhao didn't know what he was up to.

If Wu Zhao was in Qinwangzhuang, he might be able to help him with some ideas.

Wu Zhao, Wu Zhao's eyes were already red, and he was patting the table excitedly, while Wang Yuyan, Li Changying, and Zheng Xiuyan, who were beside Wu Zhao, couldn't keep their mouths shut in surprise.

"Another five hundred catties of iron!" Wu Zhao waved the small bamboo board in his hand.

Ma Yuan, who was standing in front of Wu Zhao, picked up the small flag and waved it vigorously twice, the steam engine stopped, and then he shouted: "His Royal Highness ordered, add another five hundred catties of iron."

What are you doing here?

On a hillside, a slope of about [-] degrees was built with cement, and the length was [-] feet.

At this time, a steam car on the slope has loosened its gear, and it is made of silk, hemp, and glue. The long rope as thick as a child's arm is slowly playing back. Slowly slide down.

This iron cart has been loaded with [-] catties of iron, plus the slope, and the weight of the iron cart itself.

Wu Zhao believes that this steam car has reached at least seventy horsepower, or even one hundred horsepower.

And this steam engine, in terms of its large volume, is only a few cubic meters, which is truly miniaturized.What's more, the newly manufactured steam car, ready to be put into use and ready to be replaced by a train, has reached [-] horsepower according to preliminary calculations. This huge guy really used up a lot of steel.

But this is not enough!

Wu Zhao calculated that the weight of this small steam engine is about [-] kilograms. Add water, body, wheels, etc., so the weight of the whole vehicle will definitely not be less than two tons. Seventy horse-drawn carriages can drive a two-ton steam engine. The car, plus the coal I have to bring, is at most just a person.

If you really want to buy goods, this little thing is too small for practicality.

That is to say, the size of the steam engine is still large enough to be practical. Unless there are newer techniques to reduce the weight of the whole vehicle, a vehicle weighing three to four tons will not take a few months on the road newly repaired by Li Yuanxing. will be scrapped.

The result of Wu Zhao's calculation is that the steam car will weigh more than the road roller.

While the people below were loading the iron blocks, the person in Lu Maofeng's hand was brought in front of Wu Zhao: "His Royal Highness Princess Mingyue, written by His Royal Highness King Qin. Your Highness ordered that it must be handed over to you, otherwise it will be destroyed!" Then the guards He took out another envelope: "His Royal Highness Princess Mingyue, this is a letter from Cui Changshi!"

After Wu Zhao received the letter, he jumped off his chair and walked quickly to a corner.

After reading the contents of the letter, Wu Zhao threw both letters into the stove of the steam engine, then returned to the chair and sat down again: "Send the order, stop the experiment. Ma Yuan and the craftsman in your hand go back to rest immediately, lunch Afterwards, I have tasks to arrange, and the rest of the managers will discuss with me!"

Wang Yuyan walked beside Wu Zhao, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any arrangement for Your Highness?"

As for Wang Yuyan, it's not easy for Wu Zhao to speak directly, so it's better not to ask.

So Wu Zhao thought of the contents of Cui Dunli's letter, and immediately said: "Your Highness is considering allowing slaves in Yaozhou to buy themselves, and then everyone in Yaozhou, women will have rewards in their families. The more children they have, the more rewards they will have. A child, the women in the family don’t have to work, they will receive wages, and they will be exempted from food tax.”

"Ah!" Wang Yuyan simply did not believe that such a decree would be discovered.

Not to mention Wang Yuyan, this is a testing ground, Wu Zhao didn't deliberately lower his voice, there were at least a hundred people around who heard this, and among these hundreds of people, who dared to say that he didn't want to have a family or a baby.What's more, among the hundreds of people, there are more than [-] slaves.

At this time, Wang Yuyan asked again: "Then why did the princess burn the letter?"

"I don't know when the official decree will be issued. The details are still being discussed by the two chief historians. What Cui Changshi said is too messy. If it is spread out, it will be different from the official decree in the future. Those who have trouble gossip about our Prince Qin's mansion, and the matter that His Highness has proposed, the two long historians have not entered into the decree?"

Wu Zhao's hat was oversized.

Wang Yuyan immediately agreed with Wu Zhao's statement. After all, she was still young and her thoughts were not that deep.

In the eyes of others, there is nothing wrong with not having a formally issued decree and keeping it from being seen.

On this day, Li Yuanxing threw two pebbles the size of peanuts, of course by Wu Zhao's hands.

The first small pebble the size of a peanut was thrown into a lake at least as large as Taihu Lake, but it caused huge waves.When they were off work during their lunch break, four people who were just acquaintances, but not friends, and they were not very familiar with each other sat at the same table to eat.

Among these four people, the first one is a woman, probably Li Yuanxing doesn't even remember her name.She is the woman who used to be a medical officer in the Goguryeo palace. Now she is working as a second-class steward with the salary of a third-class steward. There are more than 4000 female workers in charge of the pharmacy.

The other was a blacksmith, the one who offered the crossbow.To be able to build such a complicated crossbow, his technical level is not generally high. He is now a steward in Ma Yuan's team and the only second-class steward among the slaves.

The next one was a black man, an old black man, a Kunlun slave, and what he offered was Roman cement.

Similarly, he is also working as a second-class steward with the income of the third-class steward.Among the cement plants, he ranked seventh among all the people, so he can be said to be the top technology leader.

The last one, Goguryeo used to be an official, equivalent to the level of the governor of Datang.

He is also a slave, but he has three specialties, one is proficient in four languages, Chinese, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje.The second is that he has been an official, and he is still an official.The third is that he actually edited a book similar to the management of later generations. Although it is still very superficial, it is already considered an introduction.

Li Yuanxing specially rewarded him with a book on modern management, which he actually learned.

He took the income of the fourth-class steward and worked as the second-class steward.

These four people sitting together can be said to be the wish of most of the slaves in Yaozhou, because the four of them represent the slaves of all ethnic groups and classes in Yaozhou, whether they are Datang people or Goguryeo people.

The female medical officer ate her lunch slowly, glanced at the blacksmith who was devouring it, and said softly: "Before the lunch break, the Xuanxu Jurchen told me that my worth was not high when I bought it. Although I can't remember the specifics Numbers, but like me, three people for one cow!"

None of the three spoke, but the speed at which the blacksmith ate slowed down.

The female medical officer continued: "If I want to be a civilian, I need to pay..."

When the female medical officer said this, nearly a thousand people in the entire cafeteria stopped, and countless pairs of eyes stared blankly at this place. This number is too important, and it is important to all slaves.

And those who can eat in this large cafeteria are the foremen in this workshop area, the lowest level is the fifth-class foreman who manages more than 20 people.

"Seven strings of money, but I need to add all the property allocated to me. Of course, these properties can also be returned, and the rewards are not counted. I roughly calculated that I need to add another [-] Wen. The place where I live If I still want to live in a house, I can either buy it or rent it out. Of course, if my workshop performs well, I can reduce the rent as a reward.”

The female medical officer spoke very slowly and her voice was not loud.

But the people at the next table quickly passed on her words to the back.

The blacksmith put the bowl in his hand heavily on the table: "You have more than three pennies a month, how much have you saved?"

"If I want, I can become a commoner after eating. Besides, I still have about two coins, two bolts of linen, and half a bolt of brocade."

The third-class steward, in charge of four or five thousand people, will be the head of a factory under a certain group in future generations.

A monthly salary of [-] is very common.

And this female medical officer's monthly income is more than three pennies, plus incentives and rewards, in modern times, it is also worth [-] yuan, and it is also the income of a wealthy household in Datang.

"Of course, I also know the prices of the three of you!"

"really?"

"I asked out of curiosity. I didn't expect to get an answer, but I know it."

"Hurry up!" the blacksmith became anxious.

The female medical officer first mentioned Lao Hei: "When Lao Hei bought it, the price was the lowest among the four of us. He only needs [-] cash for civilian household registration. The other rules are the same. Buy it back."

Old Hei cried. He had been a slave for decades, but he never thought that he would one day become a commoner.

But the official said: "The slave is the property of the master's family, and so is the allotted things. It is reasonable to take it back. What's more, it is surprising that the slave is paid wages. I probably know that when I bought me, there were five Money, because I am an official. According to what you said, if I want a civilian household registration, I need fifteen guan.”

"Almost!" The female medical officer gave a reply.

Then the female medical officer said: "In fact, the blacksmith is the highest, because he is from the Tang Dynasty, and he bought it back as a craftsman. So he and his woman need 31 pennies."

The blacksmith laughed, and laughed out loud.

"Laugh, it's worth a drink!" the official said softly.

But the blacksmith said loudly: "I don't want to redeem myself, I will be a slave to His Royal Highness King Qin for the rest of my life, and if we die, we will die for His Highness King Qin."

After finishing speaking, the blacksmith ate up the rice in the bowl and strode out: "Work!" (To be continued.)
