Chapter 1864 is not on point

"Mr. Zhang, as we mentioned just now, among copper, iron and tin, tin is the most fusible and not easy to rust. Then we can completely melt the tin and plate it on the surface of the iron, so that the iron will not be exposed to moisture. I have already had such iron products in Australia and Song Dynasty, first make such a thick iron plate or iron wire—” Liu San pinched it with his fingers and made a gap that was not much thicker than the bamboo strips. Zhang Dai looked at it and continued, "Then dip it in molten tin water to coat it with a layer of tin, and then scrape the coating to a uniform thickness, and it becomes an excellent tinplate."

"Why is it called tinplate?" Zhang Dai asked abruptly, making Liu San extremely uncomfortable—why didn't you follow the script!

"Well—we first sold this iron to the Portuguese in Macau, and they sold it to other Westerners. The Portuguese pronounced Macau as 'tinplate', and the other Westerners called this iron 'tinplate'. "The "tinplate" of another space-time is indeed named after such a way, but the direction is reversed.Liu San used this statement to fool Zhang Dai.

Zhang Dai thought that the iron produced in Guangdong is also called Guangzhou Railway and Southern Railway in other places. It seems that this new iron product in Australia and Song Dynasty can be called "tinplate", but "the name and the utensils are not fake". As expected, this thieves were vulgar and illiterate, and they forced a group of barbarians to name their own products.

"It is not wrong to use this kind of tinplate for daily use such as iron barrels and iron wire, but if you want to collect these things and recast them into weapons, they must be melted into iron-tin alloys, and iron Tin alloys are brittle in nature and are not suitable for weapons. If the previous dynasties have had this kind of insight, so what if they just let go of selling tinplate and went to the north? The tinplate that can only be used for daily use is exchanged for the big cattle, sheep and horses that are urgently needed in the mainland. Animals, whether they are used for farming or for meat, are profitable in terms of people's livelihood."

This method was indeed unexpected to Zhang Dai, and it was indeed a novel approach, but in his opinion, it was a typical example of "seeing the small and forgetting the big".

"This Kun thief really only sees and sticks to trivial matters!" He secretly said.

The reason why Mongolia is infested has much to do with the influx of ironware?Zhang Dai knew very well that since ancient times, all dynasties in the Central Plains had a hundred times the manpower and material resources of the barbarians in the four directions.

Once the government is dim, traitors are in power, and the military equipment is weakened, the barbarians will take advantage of the chaos and break out. It is really not enough to rely on iron or iron.In the final analysis, to deal with the encroachment of barbarians from all over the world, first, the imperial court must have the prestige to subdue the barbarians;

Selling tinplate for cattle, sheep and horses is simply putting the cart before the horse.Can the barbarians not fight with bone arrows and stone knives?How many cows and horses are missing in my vast country?
This Dr. Liu's "high theory" seems to be brilliant, but in fact he didn't get to the point at all.

On the level of this argument, it is really ridiculous to want to belittle the way of the master.

Up to this point, Zhang Daisi felt contemptuous in his heart, and a warm smile could not help showing on the corner of his mouth.

Liu Sanyi couldn't figure out his attitude for a while, but it seemed that Zhang Dai didn't show the appearance of "suddenly realizing it", nor did he show the emotion of being hit.Still tepidly playing the role of a good listener.

He realized that the pre-plan he and Mayor Liu, Wu Mu and others had made had no effect on Zhang Dai, and he was a little disappointed: Even if you didn't "worship on the ground", at least you should show a little surprised and excited expression!
Feeling more and more frustrated, Liu San felt that he could no longer act according to the script when he saw Zongzi Zhang, who was in a state of resignation and calm.

The scene was very deserted for a while, one was in a daze, and the other was waiting.After a long time, Zhang Dai said: "Doctor Liu's favorite student has received it."

This made Liu San feel inexplicable - I didn't give him any gift

"Mr. Zhang---"

"Students coming from the south, in their heart, they just want to see the new scenery and taste the delicacies of Australia and Song Dynasty. If they really went to Lingao, with their original intentions, it was just a quick tour. Now, Dr. Liu With this in mind, if I go down here, I really have to take a good look at this Ausong!"

Liu San laughed a few times, and scolded his family Mayor Liu who came up with the idea.

"I just don't know—" Zhang Dai finally decided to ask the question in his heart: "Although I have a little reputation, in reality, it is just a reputation for eating, drinking and having fun. Although the family has a little income, but it is really the same as the rich and the rich. Compared with the family, it is nothing. In the society, if you speak, you will be heard, but if you say something to change the political situation, it will probably only be taken as a joke by the real bigwigs in the society. Think about it Go, it's not worth the effort of the Song court to treat me like this. Dare I ask Elder Liu Yuan, why are you being treated so "courteously"?"

Now that he let it go, Liu San got rid of the shackles of "following the script" instead, and felt relieved.Zhang Dai is a smart man, even smarter than most of the elders.This little trick of my own is really out of class!

In the final analysis, everyone still wants to convince historical celebrities to be subdued by themselves and enjoy the pleasure of being superior to celebrities.

"Because you have a great literary name. What you say will be more convincing to those Ming bureaucrats and Confucian scholars."

Zhang Dai nodded slightly, he understood this.

Liu San brewed his feelings, and said: "I, the Senate of the Great Song Dynasty, inherited the fate of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and recently continued the legal system of the Great Song Dynasty. This time, I returned to China in order to lead the descendants of Yan and Huang to take a big step forward, so that China can live in the future." In the next 2000 years, we will continue to lead the world. Whether it is Lingnan, Jiangnan, Huainan, Henan, including inside and outside the Great Wall, white mountains and black waters, deserts and easts, we will eventually unify all the old frontiers of the Han and Tang Dynasties. But we look forward Looking at it, even in the place where Chinese people gather, those so-called social elites seem to us not only to be frogs in a well, but also to deceive themselves and others. Perhaps to an ant, a cat is as heavy as an elephant-it can be trampled to death. But some ants don't even have the concept of 'may be trampled to death'. For us, there is no difference between trampling an ant to death and trampling a bunch of ants to death, but for the New China we envisioned, It is always good to have fewer deaths—especially those people who were bewitched by others and could have been reborn in New China."

After a short pause, Liu Sancai said solemnly to Zhang Dai, "Mr. is an 'Elite of the Ming Dynasty' who is willing to open his eyes and take a look."

"I have been an official for three generations in the next family, and I have received the emperor's grace..." Although Zhang Dai was quite touched after hearing this, he still expressed his position.

Liu San interrupted: "We don't care whether you surrender or not. We just hope that some people in the Ming Dynasty can realize what kind of power we have."

I don't care if I surrender or not, but I hope I can see clearly the strength of Ausong, and bring the results of this observation back to Jiangnan, Shilin, and Ming Dynasty.In the final analysis, the Australians really don’t expect me to surrender. What they expect is that more people will choose to surrender in the future after realizing the strength of Australia Song!
Should this result be brought back?Think about Zhang Pu’s exhortations to himself, you should still take them back—the Ming Dynasty Hall, up and down, inside and outside, is ignorant of the Eastern captives, ignorant of the bandits, ignorant of the Western barbarians, and even more ignorant of the Australians. There is no such concept as stomping to death'."To perish ignorantly, or to surrender knowing the enemy?

He fell into deep thought for a moment.

"I think it's very difficult for us to convince him..." Liu San said to Liu Xiang disheartened, and told the process of the meeting in the afternoon by the way.

"Forget it, people are old scholars after all, we are no match for him when it comes to lip service..." Mayor Liu had to play the role of comforter at this moment - after all, he was mainly responsible for this script.He changed the subject and said, "At least his mood to go to Lingao is more urgent now, isn't it?"

"That's true." Liu San hadn't recovered from the sense of failure, "He's waiting for our ferry ticket, and he gets up as soon as the ticket arrives."

"We really can't argue with him, but it doesn't matter, let the facts convince him."

It was dusk when Zhang Dai returned to the Liang Mansion, and when he returned to the small courtyard where he was staying, he recalled today's meeting. Speaking of which, the Kun thieves are really a group of "wonderful people".He is now more and more sure that the Kun thief will never detain him, not only will he not detain him, but he will also serve him with delicious food and drink all the way to let him visit Lingao and fully let him see the "Australian scenery".

These Australians are very "confident in the system"!
To be honest, he didn't quite believe the various news that boasted that Lingao was a "paradise on earth" and "government of the world that hadn't happened in thousands of years". Even in the heyday of the Han and Tang dynasties, people who were starved and starved were unavoidable, and when there was a famine, it was inevitable that people would starve to death.Dr. Liu's bragging about "productivity" can really solve these problems?
If you think about it, it's just because they ruled a small number of states and counties and a small population.There are also some strange and obscene methods, which can make many playthings and get a lot of money.Even if there are floods, droughts and famines, subsidies can be taken from the surplus of business.

This method, of course, works in one state and one county, but if there are too many states and counties under the rule, they will lose sight of one another-not to mention that no matter how much money they can make, they may not necessarily take over the livelihood of the common people in the world.Let’s just talk about Guangzhou. Although the weather has changed a few months after entering the city, beggars have not disappeared. Because of the war, the number of refugees from the four townships has increased a lot.The poor people in the market, although they live in peace, they don't necessarily live and work in peace.

The Australians are so militaristic. The small Qiongzhou supports hundreds of thousands of troops, builds cannons, and builds large ships. It spends money like water. How much money can it spend on people's livelihood?Thinking that Lingao is the capital of Australians, they must have spent money and manpower to redecorate it to whitewash the peace—it is nothing more than the old trick of Emperor Yang of Sui—after leaving Lingao, it may not be the case.

seeing is believing.In the end, let's go and see for ourselves.
