478, February 8, 3rd year, sunny The cannon sounded, and the gold was ten thousand taels

"Really?"

Zhao Xiang asked Zhang Shangshu in a low voice: "So expensive?" ”

"Expensive? You can go and ask how much money is used by Liao, and I will listen ......to it" Zhang Shangshu looked left and right and found that no one was paying attention, then leaned over and whispered: "I heard Song Beiyun's kid say, what kind of spirit does Liaoguo use, we are two points zero, the version is higher than theirs, the range, accuracy, and convenience have been improved, and the Liao State is spending money to test the performance of weapons for us." ”

"That's ...... When it's really bad. Zhao Xiang shook his head lightly: "I don't talk about the slightest bit of benevolence and morality." ”

"My old minister...... Zhang Shangshu sneered: "When the Liao State calls, you can talk to them about what benevolence, righteousness and morality are." ”

Zhao Xiang was silent for a moment and pointed to the pastry on the plate: "This pastry is good, delicious." ”

"Hahaha......" Zhang Shangshu laughed, pinched a piece and put it in his mouth: "It's really good." ”

While they were chatting, the general manager in front of them had already settled the account for Zhao Xing, why this cannonball could be so expensive.

Because it flattens out the costs of R&D, labor, design, material wear and tear, etc.

When he said this, General Na An jumped to his feet again: "The world is the world of the official family, how can there be a reason for the left hand to ask the right hand for money?" ”

"Alas, General An, that's not right." Hubu Shangshu got up at this moment and said: "Although the workshop is domestic, it is not a yamen, how can you say it with your left and right hands?" Besides, if you take some today and he will take some tomorrow, if the workshop is no longer sustainable, where are you going to get these good things? Anyway, it's all allocated by the treasury, so you don't have to worry about it. It's just that the old minister begged the official to think twice, this artificial ...... Some are expensive. ”

Zhang Shangshu glanced at Zhao Xiang, hugged his fists and got up, came to Zhao Xing and bowed down and said: "Not everyone can be a worker in the workshop, both men and women need to be selected at various levels, which puts aside the first batch of craftsmen, from the second batch to become literate and literate, although they do not seek to be the same as those who read, but if this is not reached, they will not be recruited." ”

"That Zhang Shangshu, let me ask you, those female workers are also literate and decipherable?" Tobe Shangshu asked again, "How can they do this?" ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu glanced at the Ministry of War, and then said with a smile: "This matter is also an organic fate, these women came here to work, not for anything else but for their husbands." ”

"Her husband?"

"Exactly." Lao Zhang smiled lightly: "The husbands of these women are all members of the Great Song Army, and they are unable to work due to the injuries and deaths caused by the war, so the workshop will include their children or wives to ease their family's livelihood." ”

"Why is this still the case when the pension has already been paid?"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the military department Shangshu was the first to stand up, stepped forward and said: "If it wasn't for the millions of warriors who stuck to the border in the Song Dynasty a few years ago, I don't know how much bullying I would have to suffer, but now my lord, is your sentence a little unkind?" ”

And those generals were even more indignant, and rushed up to theorize, and the military department Shangshu said again: "If it seems to be peaceful today, but who knows what will happen to the war again, if it can't be that the soldiers have no worries, how can they die for the country?" I have not been in command of the army for a long time, but I see that there are thousands of casualties in Jinling City alone, which disdains to say that I am the whole territory of the Great Song Dynasty, if I can't even give preferential treatment to this point, and there will be war again in the future, will the adults go or will I go? ”

Because of the flash of the Hubu Shangshu, the group was opened, and now suddenly everyone in the court started a group on the top of this cold mountain......

Seeing that the momentum was not good, Zhao Xing hurriedly coughed, got up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is worried about the country, I will talk about this matter when I go back to the court, this workshop is less than one-tenth of twelve, and if it is delayed, I am afraid that it will be dark." ”

At this time, the general manager stepped forward again and said to Zhao Xing: "Official, the wind and cold here are tight, and it is not too early for the grass people to see it, so it is better to ...... The official family went to the canteen with the grass people to have a hot meal and then continued to browse. ”

"Yes." Zhao Xing got up and said to his subordinates: "Zhong Aiqing, let's try the food in this workshop first, by the way, this person in charge, you don't have to make special arrangements, just according to the usual greetings of this craftsman worker in the past, I want to see what they ate in the past." ”

The general manager looked embarrassed: "This ...... The villain has already prepared something else. ”

Zhao Xing's eyes widened: "Then you will change it to the craftsman to eat!" ”

"Yes...... Yes yes...... The villain obeyed. ”

Everyone came to the canteen, and naturally those workers couldn't be allowed to come here to eat today, so the huge canteen seemed a little deserted.

Zhao Xuan felt that the appearance of queuing up to eat was relatively novel, so he had to go to the window to eat with the rice bowl himself, and the first-grade and second-grade officials of the Manchu Dynasty had to follow him and quietly line up to eat according to their rank and status, even if they opened the second window, they did not dare to cross Zhao Xing.

"Meals are so cheap here?"

Zhao Xuan looked at the wooden sign above his head, the wooden card was smoky, it looked like it had been a few days, it was not that he came to change it, this said that one or two rice only cost one penny, three dishes and one soup only cost ten pennies, five dishes and one soup are only two meat and three vegetarian dishes, and it only costs twenty-five yuan. This is something you can't eat even in the most remote countryside, let alone the bustling city of Jinling.

"Back to ...... Back to the official's house, it is like this, Lord Song said that it is such a price, and not only will he make up for the deficit to us every month, but he will also give us a certain additional salary. ”

The little sister who is cooking is not very old, and she is here to help her parents work, she was a little nervous when she was asked by Zhao Xing, and Lord Song blurted out three words, which made Zhao Xuan nervous......

Fortunately, behind Zhao Xing was the Prime Minister, and although he heard it, he didn't hear anything.

Zhao Xuan didn't dare to speak more, so he hurriedly chose a few of the more than a dozen kinds of food and sat next to him with the food box in his arms.

"Meatballs, roast duck, stuffed tofu...... Yo, and greens and bean sprouts. ”

Zhao Xiang, who was cooking later, was also in a hurry, although he often went to the medical school some time ago, but the food in the Academy of Sciences was independent, and it was much better than the workshop.

But it doesn't seem to be bad here, with all kinds of meat, eggs and dishes. These dishes are eaten by people who work hard, so the taste is relatively heavy, the old man is not very good at taste, in the past he didn't like to eat, but today even the soup and juice are all in a food box, full of taste, he likes it after the first bite.

And the ministers after that were also surprised, you must know that this dish is not at a lower price wherever it is placed, and they can't eat such a good meal most of the time on weekdays.

Zhao Xing was also hungry, and with this spicy meal, it was extremely delicious, but he couldn't pick up the rice bowl and pour it into his mouth like those Ziqiu Ba, but it was also spoonful by spoon without stopping.

"Let's be honest, Zhao Xiang."

Zhao Xiang ate slowly, after all, he was older, and it was not good to be as stormy as Zhao Xing, after hearing Zhao Xiang's words, he slowly raised his head: "Official family, please speak." ”

"Do you think that this place is the same as the Great Song Dynasty we know?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Xiang was immediately deeply touched, and he nodded again and again: "That's true, Lao Chen lived in the medical school for a while before, and he could feel it from there." ”

Zhao Xuan immediately became interested: "Tell me about it." ”

"This ...... The old minister can't figure it out, but he always hears those posteriors chatting and makes the old minister quite touched, if you want to say what is the difference between this place and the Great Song outside......" Zhao Xiang pondered for a moment and said: "That is what makes the old minister much younger, the Great Song outside is lifeless, but here is as full of life as the rising sun." ”

"Well......" Zhao Xuan sighed, "It would be great if the entire Great Song Dynasty was like this." ”

"Haha......" Zhao Xiang sighed deeply: "I'm afraid that the old minister won't be able to see it, but the official family will definitely be able to see that day." ”

After eating a meal, in fact, there are still people who care about the price, they think that why do these bitter haha eat such good things, but after such a knowledge in the morning, they actually have no confidence to say it, because the improvement brought by those so-called obscene skills is something they have not achieved in their lives.

However, this extravagance could not be encouraged, and they decided to go back and write an excerpt, at least ...... At least...... There's no need for that big piece of meat, right?

In the afternoon, their first stop was to go to the "vegetable garden" of the workshop, of course, it is a bit too much to say that it is a vegetable garden, in addition to the experimental greenhouse of a few acres of land, there are 100,000 acres of mountain forests, paddy fields and ponds, 100,000 acres!

However, these 100,000 acres are used for farming, breeding and breeding, and no one has anything to say, but for the first time, there is praise from top to bottom.

Later, they ate canned fruits, as well as food made of fruits and vegetables from various farms, and they all praised each other, and finally everyone from Zhao Xing to the guards below had different agricultural products in their hands. What pork, mutton, fish, eggs, persimmons, oranges, it feels like a round of farmers' markets.

Anyway, by the time they walked out of the workshop, it was already evening, and they hadn't even finished half of the workshop that day, so they were a little tired, but everyone brought things out and they were still rare things, which made people very happy.

"Look at this big mandarin fish, tsk......" Zhao Xuan carried a huge mandarin fish and a basket of eggs, like a bun that had never seen the world: "I have to take this egg back to make up for the Queen Mother, the one that was just born is still hot." ”

And Zhao Xiang chose some green leafy vegetables, and secretly despised Zhao Xing, after all, there are not many green leafy vegetables that make energy saving eat, and the market is much more expensive than meat, the old man hasn't eaten a few meals in winter, if he can't go to Song Beiyun occasionally to fight tooth sacrifices, he is afraid that even Gong will be a problem.

"Okay, Aiqing, we will disperse today. I'll have to go back and give the eggs to the Queen Mother, and you can go home too." Zhao Xing raised the mandarin fish in his hand before boarding the carriage: "It's scattered, and the dynasty will talk about it tomorrow." ”
