New Shun 1730
Chapter 22: Being sold and helping count the money
There may be only a few words between a high-level view and boasting.
Liu Yu stopped talking at the right time.
There are too many specific military system reforms involved, and they cannot be solved with just a few words. This needs to be done slowly in the future.
But in general, if you are willing, the reform should not be difficult. The British brown bass has been used from now to the first crow, and it has been proven to be effective for a hundred years. Just copy it and use it.
He was thinking about crossing the river by feeling the way of Britain, taking the road of lobster soldiers, and letting lobster soldiers go wherever they can.
Because history has proved that lobster soldiers are the most capable and cost-effective in this era - catching some scum, selling some vagrants by human traffickers, and forming an army. To put it bluntly, it is the "thief-matching army" of the Song Dynasty.
The gap between the West and Dashun is not the difference in those few flintlock rifles, but an all-round gap - a simple cavalry charge and turn is decomposed into 32 simple "front, back, left, and right" commands, which does not require the cavalry to have the superb riding skills of the grassland people, and can still make tactical actions that the grassland people cannot do.
As for geometry, ballistics, metallurgy, machinery, astronomy, mapping, architecture, etc., let alone.
The Rumi gun of the former Ming Dynasty and the matchlock gun of Rumi Turkish origin imitated by Dashun today are all wrong ways and copied from the wrong masters.
The matchlock gun of Central Asian origin basically lengthened the barrel to become a large-lift gun in the end, which is obviously wrong.
The standard model of the British Brown Bess rifle, which is right, costs 2 pounds and 4 shillings.
As we all know, a series of operations by Lord Niu at the mint made the pound sterling tied to the gold standard early.
The exchange rate at this time was about 3 pounds for one ounce of gold, that is, one Brown Bess was about one ounce of gold.
One ounce is about 30 grams, less than one tael. If we calculate one tael, ten silvers are one gold, that is, ten taels of silver for one Brown Bess. Including the bayonet, it is estimated that 15 taels of silver is enough.
As long as they are determined to imitate, with the low labor cost of Dashun, the imitation brown bass should be able to be further reduced in price.
Line soldiers do not need armor, and the "promotional price" of Xu Guangqi in the past Ming Dynasty was that a set of armor would cost twelve taels. No matter how you look at it, it is economical to raise line soldiers.
Liu Yu is a time traveler, and he has an unforgettable sense of urgency.
But Li Gan's mind is full of "Soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers, but they can still fight." This sentence is too exciting to him.
After all, he is the emperor, the throne comes first, the country comes second, and the nation comes last. The butt determines the head, and this point will never be wrong.
Seeing that Liu Yu has stopped talking, Li Gan feels that he has found a talent today. Although he needs to look at Zhao Kuo and Ma Su from time to time, this person at least looks useful.
Thinking that it is a slight punishment, he waved his hand and signaled those who have been kneeling for a long time to stand up.
Liu Yu shook his legs quietly, and felt a dull pain in his knees. In his heart, he cursed the imperial power and feudal patriarchal system to his ancestors.
Although he stood up, he could not look around, and could only stand there with his head lowered.
After a long time, Li Gan said: "You still need to look at what you said. But this big Kongming lantern should not be played in the capital in the future."
"First, it is easy to catch fire. Second, what if some ambitious people take this thing to fly over the inner city and over the Forbidden City to set it on fire?"
Liu Yu said yes, and he knew in his heart that Li Gan's words were not wrong, and he could not be labeled as "unenlightened".
But then he thought again, the emperor's words were a bit pitfalls. If someone really rebels in the future and really uses a hot air balloon to attack and burn the Forbidden City, wouldn't he be half of the responsibility?
If someone really got a few barrels of tung oil, flew to the Forbidden City in a hot air balloon, and dropped them down, wouldn't the wooden structure of the Forbidden City be on fire?
At this time, there was no way to defend against the air.
But from what Li Gan said, flying is not allowed in the capital, but you can go outside the city to play?
This result is acceptable. At least now it seems that the emperor is not so resistant to new things.
With this result, Liu Yu's mood finally improved.
The other people who were captured with him were also secretly happy. Not to mention that they can experience the feeling of ascension in the future, even if they are summoned by the emperor and see the emperor, it is worth it.
Li Gan looked at Liu Yu and Tian Ping standing in front of him carefully again, and finally smiled and said: "You two are the first in the world to ascend to heaven, and you have left your name in the unofficial history, which is also the glory of our dynasty. Moreover, you are worried about the border war, which is commendable and deserves to be rewarded."
After saying that, he gave Liu Yu a purse he carried with him; and a snuff bottle to Tian Ping.
After receiving the reward, he had to thank the grace again.
Holding the embroidered purse, Liu Yu couldn't help cursing in his heart, what's the use of this broken thing?
I can't sell it, and I dare not sell it. Even if I can sell it, it's not worth much money. I still owe my mother a thousand taels of silver. As an emperor, can't you be more generous?
As if Li Gan guessed Liu Yu's thoughts, he ordered the eunuch to reward Liu Yu with another thirty taels of gold from the treasury as an encouragement. In addition, he gave some pens, inkstones, a flintlock rifle and other sundries as a tribute, but these could not be given in person. He would burn incense and offer tribute to welcome the angel after returning.
Finally, the emperor left. Liu Yu and his companions also left the Forbidden City, bypassed Chengtian Gate, and arrived near Liubu Hall. Only then did they feel relieved and went to find a toilet.
People in the Forbidden City did not dare to act recklessly, and everyone kept their heads down and obeyed. After leaving the Forbidden City, these people immediately became "human masters" again. No matter where they were, they huffed and went to the toilet, and heard someone spitting at the son of Marquis Shifang.
The son of Marquis Shifang turned red with embarrassment and did not want to stay here. He picked up his pants and covered his face and left.
As soon as he left, the mouths of this group of people started to become unclean.
"What birdman?"
"Bah! His ancestors were like this. The title of Marquis Shifang was absolutely correct. Zhang Tianlin, the star of the sky, was also an old general who fought with Taizu. Taizu was kind and often used surrendered generals. As a result, the Manchus entered the pass. He My ancestor killed Zhang Tianlin and defected to the Qing Dynasty, and later defected to the Qing Dynasty. From the Ming Dynasty, he surrendered to the Shun Dynasty, from the Ming Dynasty to the Later Jin Dynasty, and from the later Jin Dynasty, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. What the hell!”
A few people were cursing, but what they said was a bit exaggerated. After all, the events in the late Ming Dynasty were too chaotic. Many of the ancestors of Dashun Xungui's descendants had surrendered and jumped over it repeatedly.
Moreover, Tian Ping felt bad about saying that Marquis Shifang was not nice. His ancestor, Duke of Qi, was not a good title either.
After all, this matter started because of Liu Yu. Tian Ping was a little embarrassed because of his ancestor's title and couldn't talk. Liu Yu came forward and said: "Forget it, forget it, let's not mention this matter. At that time, no one knew the blessings and misfortunes of this matter. It all started because of me.”
"Besides, as for the old things that happened during the time of Taizu and Taizong, Gaozong had already said that bygones are bygones and old things will never be mentioned again. Don't talk nonsense. Let's end it here."
He is pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here. He originally deceived a group of people to use him as a backer, but now he stepped out to be a good person.
When everyone saw Liu Yu, they all said they didn't care. They just remembered that the guy was not loyal and wanted to have less contact with him in the future.
There were also a few Wude Palace students who were born in the military world and were beaming with joy. Although today's events were dangerous, if they hadn't followed Liu Yu to watch the fun, how would they have had the chance to see Tianyan? Moreover, the female officials all recorded their names and did not betray Liu Yu even when their fate was uncertain. This is really a big event worth celebrating.
"Brother Shouchang, as a member of the inner house, His Majesty Demeng saw it in person and gave him a purse. This kind of honor is really rare. Brother Shouchang will definitely have a bright future in the future, so he should go and have a drink to celebrate."
None of these people were in the capital, and they didn't think too much about it.
Liu Yu smiled bitterly and said: "You guys are really big-hearted. I'm afraid our family is in trouble now, so it's better to go back early. Let's do this, I'll invite you again in a few days."
After saying that, he turned to the noble disciples and said, "Let's go back quickly so that our parents won't worry."
After saying that, he made another joke.
"I'm afraid that after today's incident, your fathers and mothers will tell you not to have any contact with me, so as not to cause big trouble."
As they were joking, everyone's expressions were helpless. Thinking of the panic of kneeling in front of the Jinshui Bridge before, and thinking of Liu Yu's bold attitude of talking in front of the emperor and then quitting when he didn't see anything good, they all shook their heads.
Jun thought: Do you need your parents to tell you? If you, Liu Shouchang, incite us to do anything in the future, whoever goes will be your grandson!
Damn it, you were making trouble for a long time, and we just watched the excitement. Our pants were so wet in front of the Jinshui Bridge.
In the end, you and Tian Ping both had purses and snuff bottles. We didn’t say anything about it. We knelt with you two for two hours and had to change our pants when we got back. From now on, we will do whoever wants to do it. Quit.
But thinking about it again, Liu Yu is now in the emperor's heart, and his performance in Wude Palace is considered excellent. In the future, there may be no limit to his ability.
Everyone is the second son, and Xijue basically has no share. We still have to look at it again in the future, and we can't let the road go completely.
Thinking that Liu Yu's words were absolutely correct, his parents must have been frightened half to death, so they left one after another and rushed home.
Under the Zhengyang Sect, Liu Yu and Tian Ping were the only ones left.
Liu Yu held up the purse given by the emperor and asked, "Can I carry this thing on weekdays?"
Tian Ping chuckled and asked, "Where are you taking it?"
"Hang it around your waist."
"Oh, hanging on the waist? Then do you pee next time? When you pee, the Yuci purse is next to your thing. The purse sways with the words, and the orchid flies with the smell? After peeing, you wash your hands. If you don't clean your hands, just touch Yuci's purse? Or, when you urinate, hold the purse above your head with your right hand? "
After imagining all kinds of weird scenes, Liu Yu's face twitched and he said with a smile: "Forget it."
Just as he was talking, Tian Ping's eyes glanced into the distance. The Boy Army officer who had previously chased Changping to catch them, the pockmarked face named Jiao Lao Butu, was in the distance.
Liu Yu pulled Tian Ping and said, "Don't cause trouble. That's the Boy Army, and he has the title of Lieutenant of Qingche. Besides, what you said is indeed a bit excessive."
Tian Ping smiled and said: "Why do I want to cause trouble? It's just a little unexpected. The naturalized Sauron people actually know the past events of the past? I have read a lot of books. Come on, I'm going back first. I didn't have a good time today. In a few days, we will go outside the city and have a good time with the hot air balloon. Today, I am not very interested in poetry, and there are no good works. After all, it is not interesting. "
Before leaving, he bowed his hands to Liu Yu and said, "You have benefited greatly from what happened today, following Shou Chang. Since you have flown to the sky, you have also received a gift from the emperor. Thank you."
He thanked him, which made Liu Yu extremely embarrassed.
Thinking about how he had used sinister intentions to arrest people as a backing, the little bit of morality he still had in his heart finally made him blush, and he said calmly: "Brothers, you and I don't have to be like this."
