Chapter 470: Business and Artifacts

However, just like Shi Wei's wheel, cost is the biggest bottleneck.

The cost of a magic machine is as high as eighty! Up to 100 days of work!

The general of the Great Song Dynasty Guard, a pair of 30 pieces of fully armored battle armor, a pair of 40 pieces of horse armor, two bows, consistent arrows, and three knives!

It doesn't add up to this gun!

If you really want to arm a 2,000-strong Shenji battalion, you will need 160,000 guns alone, plus supporting facilities, daily training, ammunition reserves, consumption, and gun elimination and updating......

The cost will not be less than 400,000 a year, what is this concept!

A few years ago, Han Qi suggested that Shaanxi Yong be assigned 180,000 yuan, and one person should give the usual registration fee, 200 pickle money per month, 400,000 yuan, enough to recruit more than 100,000 volunteers in Shaanxi and Hebei, and if you only store it, you can raise 200,000 people!

And that's not counting artillery and mules and horses!

Su You comforted Shi Fu: "It's okay, the sample comes out, and the next thing is a question of how to do addition and subtraction. ”

Military R&D is to burn money, this is undoubted, but fortunately, Su oil is too profitable.

Those who make money also have weapons.

The large number of applications of copper parts - with brass belt buckles, buttons, concealed buckles, rivets, keyholes and various leather goods, the convenience brought to the military is undoubtedly very great.

There are also sealed kettles, squeezed quivers, swords, spearheads, bows, crossbows, ......

There are also stamped plate armor, helmets......

But weapons are not the most profitable, the most profitable is always luxury.

Meishan's research on glass glaze has long been developed to a very, quite developed level.

In addition to ordinary blue, red, yellow, green and white, it has developed a variety of bright pigments such as sky blue, royal blue, emerald blue, chicken blood red, grape purple, purple red, ornamental red, bright yellow, turmeric, stone green, plum green, milky white and so on.

Therefore, there is now a kind of exquisite bronze ware in Wangzhou, and the profit is higher than that of military weapons!

Use the red copper plate to make the tire, and then use the flattened copper wire to stick to the carcass according to the design pattern, after the blowtorch welding, point blue, burnt blue, polishing, gold-plating, you can get a beautiful treasure - cloisonné enamel bronze.

This thing brings together the culmination of metal processing technology, ceramic art technology, and glass technology, except for Netzhou, and now other places in the Great Song Dynasty really can't get it.

First of all, the commodities are religious ritual utensils - ritual utensils of the three families of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, idols, shrines, towers, seven treasures, eight treasures, rui beasts, etc., as well as practical and furnishing furnaces, cloud cards, candlesticks and other things.

There are also ordinary people's daily study utensils, vases, flower pots, sedan bottles, aromatherapy, basins, hand stoves, slag hoppers, mirrors, hanging screens, lamp holders, hat racks, fish tanks, ruyi, fasting cards......

The lowest grade but the largest sales are the portable sachets, hairpins, square sheng, step shake, pendant, hat, hook, strip, wings and other ornaments.

Of course, this thing can't be called cloisonné now, and even enamel doesn't have this name, and the name of the process has become cloisonné glaze firing.

There is also a lucrative deal, and that is Seluro.

Pure natural plastic, made of camphor and nitrocellulose, which is also expensive today.

However, no matter how expensive it is, some people can afford to use various colors, or semi-transparent or impermeable celluloid flakes, to stack and roll them in a staggered manner to make a real ivory and tortoiseshell carapace pattern, which can be easily molded in boiling water, and can obtain items that previously had to be made from precious materials such as ivory and tortoiseshell.

By adding various pigments and additives, it can also imitate the luster of pearls and luodian......

For example, Su You made a huge fake oyster shell, and the nacre in the middle of the oyster shell formed a pattern of a bas-relief Buddha.

I also made a false ivory, but in addition to the huge size of the ivory, there is a Buddhist swastika pattern in the center of the cross-section.

And - a pearl the size of a bowl......

These three things are pure nonsense, and in the end they were all sent to Kuizhou and handed over to Zhang San, Su You is looking forward to Zhang San taking it to a foreign country and how many good things can be fooled back.

……

The first magic machine is naturally to uphold Shi Fu's consistent style, and the carvings are gorgeous and abnormal.

Su You watched Shi Fu insert gold wires into the barrel of the gun, and his tone was completely unpleasant: "I'm trying to reduce the weight of the firecracker, and you're trying to increase it for me." ”

Shi Fu didn't bother to pay attention to him: "This is something that is dedicated to the official family, of course, it must have a royal style." ”

Su You touched his chin: "Hong Jiang and Uncle Gao Guo estimated that they had to regret their intestines, when I was in Weizhou, I begged them to give me hundreds of catties of soft iron, but they didn't give me a catty." ”

Shi Fu took a small hammer and a round-headed nail and hammered it on the magic machine, excited: "The steel-core lead bullet can also penetrate the stamping helmet two hundred steps away, this is the strongest individual weapon in the world!" ”

Su You said with a smile: "Then you have to be accurate, I heard that the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, the test of martial arts is only the strength, not the test of the head, the crossbow can open four stones, but it is not accurate within seventy steps." ”

Shi Fu scoffed: "It's forbidden to work in Beijing, guide the honor guard on weekdays, and when you are not on duty, you have to pick and sell to the palace marshals, how can you make money without strength......"

At this moment, Tang Yan came over and excitedly took the newspaper: "Mingrun, I really guessed it for you!" ”

Su You smiled: "Wang Jiefu has entered the court?" ”

Tang Yan said excitedly: "Exactly! Now Uncle Lu and Sima Junshi are Hanlin Bachelors, Zhang Bachelors are Hanlin Chengzhi, Zhao Bachelors are Zhizhi, and Wang Jiefu will also enter the court and become Hanlin Bachelors and Attendants. ”

"This is the Rising Tide of the Crowd! The court is hopeful, and the Great Song Dynasty is hopeful! ”

Su You touched his nose: "Huh...... Hehe......"

……

The appointment of Sima Guang and Lu Gongshu was a matter of March. ”

Zhao Ji didn't allow it, and said: "The ancient gentleman either learns but does not learn, or literature does not learn." Only Dong Zhongshu and Yang Xiong can be called both. When you arrive at Aiqing, you are the third here, why do you want to refuse? ”

Sima Guang said: "The Hanlin scholar wants to draft an edict, and I can't write four or six prose. ”

Zhao Ji said: "It doesn't matter, you can just use the ancient style like the edict of the two Han Dynasty." ”

Sima Guang said: "There is no such story in this dynasty. ”

Zhao Ji was also a little annoyed by Sima Guang's excuse: "Qing can be promoted to the rank of senior and high, but not for four or six, is this possible?!" ”

Don't think I've forgotten that you were the sixth in the first class of Jinshi!

After Sima Guang came out, Zhao Ji continued to send his inner servants to Hemen and forced Sima Guang to be sued, but Sima Guang did not accept it.

Until Sima Guang retreated into the courtyard of the closed door, he was still prevaricating, and the inner envoy finally forced the confession into Sima Guang's arms, "The light has to be accepted".

Later, Zhao Ji asked Wang Tao, who was still in the court at the time: "Is it true that the public works and light are bachelors?" ”

Wang Tao was appreciative: "Your Majesty uses these two people, why worry about the world!" ”

……

Old man Zhao knows the Academy, and there are also small stories.

When the old man entered the Xie Xie, Zhao Ji asked him: "Wen Qing entered Shu, with a piano and a crane to follow himself, for the government is simple, also known as evil?" ”

Zhao Pan sighed: "The cunning boy in Shu is not here, but this time the qin and crane have to be preserved." ”

Zhao Ji laughed: "Yes, there should be a white turtle." ”

Zhao Pan said: "The new system in Shuzhong started in Meishan, since it is effective, why bother to change it?" Officials who serve in local positions will love to overturn the measures of their predecessors and blindly change their positions, believing that they have no merit for themselves and no name for profit. This kind of thing is something that ministers are unwilling to do. ”

Zhao Ji nodded: "By the way, there is one thing to explain to Aiqing - those who have returned from Shu in the past will go to the provincial capital." Now that you are being asked to be a return officer, the ministers of the DPRK and China are quite suspicious. ”

"Actually, I have admired the style of 'Iron Mask Imperial History' for a long time, and I want to rely on Qingyan's ears. Why should it be a provincial capital! Aiqing, do you say? ”

So after Zhao Luan went back, he immediately went to the office to talk about morality, entrust and assist him, don't be evil, go to extravagance, signal orders, reward and punish equally, keep secrets, be prepared, don't count pardons, and tolerate ten things.

……

As for Wang Anshi's edict, it is even more exaggerated.

Since Wang Tao was impeached, Zeng Gongliang asked himself to understand Zhao Ji's vein, so he strongly recommended Wang Anshi and wanted to use him to contain Han Qi.

In addition, Zhao Ji's hardcore Han Wei and Wang Anshi are also confidants of the article, and they are recommended when they have nothing to do on weekdays, so Zhao Ji has long admired Wang Anshi very much.

Wang Anshi has always resigned, and now that the mourning period has expired, Zhao Ji has suffered from gains and losses: "Anshi has been the emperor of the first dynasty, and he can't afford to be tired, or he thinks it's disrespectful." If you don't come today, will you be sick? Something you want to be evil? ”

Is he really sick, or is there something else he wants? Let's not have a whole pair of roads, so that Daxian won't buy it again!
