Before the Great Song Dynasty, there were two weapons, one was a heavy crossbow with a rocket, that is, a sky monkey, which could make the heavy crossbow shoot at a distance of 200 zhang away. A hundred years ago, there was a saying that all arrows could be filled with gunpowder, that is, all arrows could be made into rockets by adding gunpowder.

Now, the craftsmen have combined the gliding bamboo bird with the rocket to design the most suitable flying wings.

With a load capacity of more than 40 catties, whether it is ignition or gunpowder, the power of this thing is expected.

Xian Shuangying said: "If you use arrow poison wood to make the feathers on the bird's belly, after the explosion on the city, it is very good. ”

Lan Hai continued: "Wonderful, stuff half a catty of arsenic into the gunpowder." ”

"Very good." Xian Shuangying nodded slightly.

Zhao Sang said at this time: "Money is the big trouble right now. No matter how thick the Han family's family is, it can't afford such a huge expenditure. We need a stable and huge source of funds, Wancheng and Lintao are pure investment at the moment, and it will take at least a year to make a profit, and the income of salt is indeed huge if it is a business, but we are not enough. ”

Zhao Sang has calculated in detail that the annual pure military expenditure needs to be no less than 20 million yuan.

Bai Yulou replied: "Give me a little more time, my subordinates will definitely be able to find Pepper in three months at most." ”

"The general has worked hard, but it's still not enough. The old man thinks that he needs to talk to Han Jiang face-to-face, and hopes that he has further plans. Some things have to be planned in advance, and if you wait for the treasury to be empty, I am afraid that this matter will not be able to end, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

The others didn't answer, they couldn't think of anything deeper in their heads.

At the moment, it is very hard for each of them to do a good job of the piece they are responsible for.

only said that Liu Huai was in charge of Yinan City, and he was already tired and lost more than a dozen pounds, and his eye sockets were sunken.

In fact, I am also worried about money.

To develop a city, the amount of money needed is huge.

Money!

Money is a piece of.

Even if everyone in the world is worried about money, Han Jiang will definitely not.

As long as the liquidity of the currency is still there, the lack of money is only temporary, because it is impossible to worry about money.

The Han family still has gold and silver saved, these Han Jiang will not move, this is Zhencang silver.

Another morning came, and the sun rose as usual.

Qian Xinyao sat next to Han Jiang and had breakfast with Han Jiang, and at the same time reported the money she was going to spend recently.

After reporting, Qian Xinyao said: "Jianglang, did I use too much money." ”

"Hey, hey." Han Jiang just laughed dryly.

Han Jiang knew very well in his heart that the recent excessive expenditure was in three aspects. First, Wancheng and Lintao, the war investment is very huge. The second is Yinan City, and the initial investment in the construction of the new city is massive. The third is Qian Xinyao.

Qian Xinyao, this girl, can't wait to fill up the technology tree in one day, and she will never stop researching.

But because of this, the craftsmen of the Qian family, Daomen, and Yanzhou are very highly motivated, and Han Jiang will definitely not let these craftsmen down because of the recent shortage of money.

Qian Xinyao looked at Han Jiang and asked in a low voice, "Otherwise, I'll let some research stop first." Wait for the copper foundry in Yinan City to be built, and then start research again. ”

Qian Xinyao knew that once the new mint in Yinan City could be put into use, the amount of coinage could reach seventy percent of the annual coinage of the Great Song Dynasty, and the current coinage of the Great Song Dynasty was about three million yuan. And because the new money in Yinan City is ten, the money minted can reach about 22 million guan, and after removing the cost, there is also a benefit of tens of millions of guan.

Han Jiang shook his head: "Don't be nervous, isn't it just money, if you can't do it, you can only make a trick." ”

Han Jiang had already prepared.

The Qian family's printing workshop already has a watermark production process, and Han Jiang originally considered putting paper money, but after thinking about it very seriously, this thing is still mature enough, because the Jiaozi and Huizi of the Great Song Dynasty have consumed the credit of paper yarn.

Your own paper yarn may not be recognized.

So Han Jiang changed something, bonds.

However, it is still not the time.

At that time, Han Jiang could claim that this bond was a spice bond, and with Thang Long City in the Dayue Kingdom, spices and rice would be guaranteed, and the one-year bond could be paid as scheduled, and it would definitely not hurt himself and the credit of the trench.

But if he is in a hurry to use the money, Han Jiang considers the occurrence of small-scale bonds of Baiyunfang and Xinfang.

Therefore, Han Jiang is not worried about money.

However, what Han Jiang never expected was that only half a day later, the situation changed.

Liu Rui secretly arrived in Lin'an, and then came to the Xishan Courtyard.

After Han Jiang greeted Liu Rui at the dock: "General, it is not appropriate for you to come to Lin'an at this time." ”

Liu Rui didn't answer, just stretched out his hand to help Han Jiang onto the dock, and then pulled Han Jiang to the courtyard, Han Jiang also quickened his pace, Liu Rui can come over in person, there must be something, and it is a big deal.

After entering the garden and arriving at Han Jiang's study, Liu Rui took off his disguise, picked up the kettle and drank a lot of water, and then exhaled a long breath: "It's not that I want to come back, if I don't come back, it's Yu Erlang or Ge Yi." ”

"What's wrong?" Han Jiang was also a little nervous.

Liu Rui took out a letter and handed it to Han Jiang and said, "This is written by a student of Ge Yi in the DPRK. ”

Han Jiang was taken aback when he saw it: "Imperial court, are you crazy?" ”

Liu Rui shook his head: "The imperial court is not crazy, you should have read the history, in the more than 200 years since the founding of our Great Song Dynasty, the salt law in the Bianliang period was originally to supplement the military resources of the northwest, and then changed, abolished, re-established, revived, and reformed, you should know how many times it has been tossed, and how many times the salt banknotes have become waste paper." ”

Han Jiang said: "I know, but this time, the official three-year long citation, 20 million citation, isn't this crazy?" ”

Liu Rui sighed: "No way, the news I got is that the imperial court plans to gather at least 10 million yuan to send to my father in secret, which will be used to bribe the important ministers of the Jin State, and the matter of giving the surname must be resolved by the court, and now that the Yellow River has burst its embankment, the court also wants your father and the Jin people to reach an agreement, that is, to seal the customs." ”

Han Jiang asked, "What do you mean, I'm afraid that the refugees will escape." ”

Liu Rui just smiled but didn't answer.

Han Jiang sighed heavily, according to the current salt law, salt banknotes are divided into long and short leads.

The long quote is a one-year term and allows cross-regional transactions, while the short quote can only be within the demarcated range and the time is only three months.

Three years long, the person who came up with this idea is crazy.

What is the difference between this and killing chickens and taking eggs?

Because of the catastrophe, the salt banknote has been smashed to 20% of the original price, and the short lead has almost become waste paper.

Now with the three-year long introduction, the two Huai basically can't produce salt this year, and how much salt can be shipped out of the Sichuan well, which will really ruin the salt industry of the two Huai.

I don't know how many salt merchants are going bankrupt.

What's more serious is that the official salt will also be unsalable, which is the result of losing both.
