Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 400 Four Years
Time is like water, time flies, and it will be the tenth year of Zhenguan in the blink of an eye.It was Qin Hao's fourth year in Pyongyang, and Qin Xiaohao was already five years old.

In four years, a lot happened.

First of all, the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate finally has money. Qin Hao promised Xue Wanche four years ago that when the situation on the peninsula stabilized, he would be responsible for generating income for the Protectorate and ensure that every soldier’s pockets would be full.

This is tricky for him, but it's not a difficult problem, especially after Qin Xiaohao also crossed over.

Qin Hao used to be a bureaucrat in the unit, and he was still in the radio and television department, so he has a clear understanding of some systems, culture, etc., while Qin Xiaohao is a science and engineering worker, and he is in the technical stream.

So in the past four years, Qin Hao was in the foreground and Qin Xiaohao was in the background. Apart from the things in Pyongyang, the focus was on one thing: the development of Anshan.

Anyone who has been to junior high school knows that this place produces iron, and the quality of the iron ore is quite high, and the sea transportation is convenient, so Qin Hao spent a full year building small indigenous steelmaking furnaces one after another. The technology has no industrial difficulty, and the steel output is not bad, even in the 21st century, it can be barely used in many African countries.

This time, the Anton Dadu Protectorate became big. The technology of steelmaking in the Tang Dynasty was mainly the method of pouring steel. Qin Xiaohao’s creation of this thing is definitely a black technology among the black technologies in the Tang Dynasty. This kid has a little bit of environmental protection. He didn't realize that, in order to supply coke to Anshan, the trees on the mountain were almost cut down, and he was already planning to let Yuangai Suwen mobilize Fuyu people to cut down Changbai Mountain, so Qin Hao quickly stopped him.

Are you kidding me, if Yuan Gai Suwen took the opportunity to garrison soldiers in the Changbai Mountain area, it would be called a puppet court.

To the west of the Yalu River, there are more Han people than Buyeo in these places, so they are under the direct management of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and have nothing to do with the new Goryeo court of Yuangai Suwen, so this income is mainly related to the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate. Son.

The iron ore was distributed to the soldiers of the Han people. They were very motivated to mine the mine. They could earn a lot of money by selling the ore, and the imperial court could also draw a large amount of tax from it. Now they have no intention of bullying the Fuyu people. Tang's loyalty is quite high. If there is a war, this group of people may fight more fiercely than the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, defending the family and the country.

The small steelmaking furnace and iron smelting factory are directly under the Anton Dadu Protectorate, and half of the proceeds are allocated to the genuine Datang soldiers brought by Xue Wanche from Guanzhong. There are more Han soldiers in the country, and the court has no objection to this.

In addition to steelmaking, the output of iron is not small. Naturally, these irons cannot be smelted with precious coke, but coal. Originally, Qin Hao planned to transport them by water from Guanzhong. Coal is abundant in the Tang Dynasty, but the court told him Now Datang's ships are busy, and no one wants to use precious ships to transport this thing. After two ships were transported by administrative orders, Qin Hao found that the idea of ​​transporting coal by ship was really stupid.

Coincidentally, there are Khitan people in the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate. These ethnic minorities are crazy due to lack of iron, and it just so happens that they have an open-pit coal mine, so the work of transporting coal is handed over to the Khitan. Tie, I almost killed these Khitan soldiers.

Naturally, steel is used to forge weapons, and the output is good. No matter what year it is in this world, there is never a shortage of buyers for weapons, whether it is the imperial court or the government soldiers in Guanzhong, or even selling them to foreign races.

The Tang Dynasty's weapons are not strictly controlled by the imperial court. On the contrary, they are all the private property of the soldiers. Therefore, the imperial court has no control over the arms trade in Anshan. All the clothes have been changed, and the court can't say anything.

The people of Fuyu were responsible for felling trees, the ancient Han people were responsible for mining, and the people of Tang Dynasty were responsible for steelmaking and post-production. Finally, Sun Er and others transported it to Chang'an by sea, which is also a good way to make a fortune.

Qin Hao knows that there are tens of millions of ways to get rich, and Qin Xiaohao chose this one because his purpose is not pure. In order to stabilize the precarious Baekje court in exile, they will always give black teeth uninterrupted Transport some weapons, and according to Qin Hao's calculation, about half of these weapons will disappear in the end.

Qin Hao was horrified to find out that Qin Xiaohao, who was only five years old, who would be hugged by his beautiful sister every day at home with a baby voice, unexpectedly had someone available in the Anton Dadu's guard mansion!

Qin Hao checked it carefully. There is not much problem with the books, and the probability of being discovered by the court is not high. After all, few people in the feudal society can see through the fake accounts made by modern people. I don't believe someone will check it out.

What's even more unbelievable is that this kid seems to be following him and has started to take in younger brothers. Heizhi's son, Heizhi Changzhi, was originally sent to Pyongyang to study in Pyongyang as a hostage, but at some point, he has become this kid's loyal friend. Little brother, although the two of them seem to be able to do nothing but piss and mud.

In this regard, Qin Xiaohao actually still has plausible arguments, why can't I accept black teeth if you can accept Pei Xingjian?
As for the whereabouts of those weapons, Qin Xiaohao's neck got stuck, and it had nothing to do with him being killed. Qin Hao actually acquiesced when he couldn't find them.

People, the hardest thing to see is myself. Qin Hao doesn't know what he is thinking now. He seems to be a little ostrich mentality. I didn't find what Qin Xiaohao did. If I can't find it, it has nothing to do with me. I He is still loyal to Datang without the slightest thought of injustice.

And in the past four years, although the entire Tang Dynasty was still thriving, there were small fluctuations in the politics of the court, and Hou Junji rose.

Li Chengqian has hardly been out of the East Palace in the past four years, but this does not mean that he really doesn't care about the government. Before Qin Hao came to Pyongyang, Li Chengqian planned to let Qin Hao be the spokesperson of his power.

At that time, Qin Hao didn't want to agree. Although he didn't decline politely, he got rid of the blame by taking advantage of the excuse of retreat. Later, he was assigned to the Anton Dadu Protectorate, so naturally it had nothing to do with him. After Qin Hao dumped the blame, this role Naturally, it came to his father-in-law Hou Junji.

And the thing that Hou Junji mentioned the most in the court in the past two years was not fighting or training troops, but to transfer Qin Hao back to the capital.

Everyone knows that Qin Hao must be one of the prime ministers to return to Beijing for his current position, not to mention that the current prime minister team is relatively stable without his position, who exactly do you want to retire? Even if there is, his qualifications are really enough what?

It’s not enough for you, Li Chengqian, to have Hou Junji as Minister of the Ministry of War, and you also want to insert someone of your own among the prime ministers, what’s the point!

Qin Hao himself doesn't know what he thinks, Pyongyang is certainly not as good as Chang'an, and the children's playground he built for his son has never been used. It is said that it has been taken over by Li Xiaogong's grandson. Well, although Qin Xiaohao is probably not interested in that stuff in all likelihood.

But to be honest, he doesn't really want to go back to be the prime minister. Li Chengqian's approach makes him feel a little dangerous. Recently, the letters he wrote to Li Chengqian have become more and more formulaic, and there are very few heart-to-heart contents. This makes him a little uncertain about Li Chengqian. pulse.

Maybe it was because of these reasons that Qin Hao turned a blind eye to Qin Xiaohao's actions.
