Chapter 163: Greasy in Coins
After the completion of the Mojia School Palace, thinking that there would be a large group of scientists around him in the future, it would be ten thousand better than fighting alone as a traverser, and Zhao Xing would wake up with a smile in his dream.
To dominate the world, the Xihe School that relies solely on the art of power and scheming is not good, and it is not possible to rely on the political arguments of the mouthful, but it is still a scientific fist.
Of course, this is off topic, because creating a school palace requires a huge investment, so it has to talk about money.
Zhao Xing said to Qi Fei, the envoy of the household department: "You also know, I applied for the right to mint coins from the monarch, and from then on, our Daiyi will become the fifth largest minting industry base in Zhao State." How? Don't you rejoice in it? ”
Qi Fei said bitterly: "I can promise not to cry, it is already my calmness, what does the Lord want me to do?" ”
It seems that this is still the complex of minting money and losing money.
So Zhao Xing began to persuade his household treasury manager, Zhao Xing called him the head of the treasury, his wife's money bag: "In fact, the loss of casting money is in fire consumption, in labor, in loss, and in being cast into bronze this time." But in my casting, they melt and cast ritual vessels in vain. But if I have no fire, no labor, no loss, then I will have at least forty percent of the money interest, and then our money will pass all over the world. So we- please put away your saliva, we are all big people, images. At that time, Zhao Xing wiped the saliva that was already soaked through his clothes, and seriously told his wife and the head of the treasury who knew the most about money.
"Impossible, impossible." Kutou and his wife retorted together.
Zhao Xing smiled and said, "Okay, since you don't believe it, then I'll speak with facts." Tomorrow, let Luban take us to the dam press machine, I will demonstrate to you, please bring your own kettle when the time comes, otherwise, let you drool until I don't care about dehydration, what is dehydration? Don't care about these details, okay? ”
The reason why Zhao Xing pays attention to iron smelting is because he pays attention to the steel smelted, and steel is related to his steel mold, which is his coinage mold, and it is the income of his empty glove white wolf in the future.
Lu Ban lived up to expectations, the dam had been built, and the steel mold required by Zhao Xing had also been carved, which was the result of his brothers and sisters working day and night.
For this reason, Zhao Xing did not hesitate to reward.
But according to the rules of the Mo family, all the money they get must be handed over and used for scientific research, so Zhao Xing compassionate reward each person has a house.
A house, and thirty steps from north to south. This thing can't be moved, this is the treatment of scientists.
100,000 catties of gold, is 100,000 catties of brass, the gold shines and the gold emits the same light, which makes people feel very good. But Zhao Xing didn't add tin like smelting bronze and minting bronze coins, and the golden yellow that people loved became green. Instead, lead is added directly to keep the alloy obsessively golden. And it is also the ratio of copper six lead four, one thousand catties at a time, was poured into their own unique tempering furnace, in the blink of an eye, should be fifteen hundred degrees of melted copper, eight hundred degrees of gold water, and then poured into a square template, scraped into five pieces of paper thick, until a little cooled, and then was pushed under the template of the hydraulic stamping machine, with a sonorous sound, four hundred square coins appeared in a blink of an eye.
Take it out, and on it is a delicate and clear horse head, the simplified Chinese characters unique to the four daijun: "Tianxia Tongbao" and the center of the four frames, and the coins that Zhao Xing said appeared. Then with the stamping and cutting machine, sonorous cutting, a neat and smooth square coin appeared in front of everyone, not only the size is unified, neat and smooth, and the pattern is exquisite, the four frames of neat coins are freshly baked.
My wife picked up a golden coin that still had a temperature and couldn't put it down: "Why is your coin golden?" ”
Zhao Xing patiently explained to his wife: "Copper and tin are bronze, and the green huhu does not have the gold color that everyone loves, and the lead is added, but it does not change his color. ”
The wife asked again, "Why do you add lead?" and immediately covered her mouth. She understood, this is cutting corners.
Zhao Xing grinned: "You have always thought that a thousand gold and copper, half a tael, should lose half of the money, but I don't have to melt it many times, and it will be formed at one time without fire consumption." And I added forty percent of lead, and I made four thousand full half-tael coins of one thousand catties (ancient catties) of copper, which were not only hard and solid, but also did not lose the pleasing color of gold, and made me earn thirty percent of the money and interest cleanly. This time, the king gave me 100,000 catties of copper, and I handed over 3.5 million coins, hehehehe, did I still earn 520,000 yuan? ”
The wife covered her mouth with one hand and directly covered Zhao Xing's mouth with the other. I can't say that.
Of course, everyone didn't hear it, and Lu Ban said with bright eyes: "The most important thing is that no one in the world takes coins to melt them and then cast ritual weapons or weapons, because it's not cost-effective." ”
Zhao Xing moved his wife's hand away: "I wish they would melt and cast the other twelve types of utensils now, that will make me earn more." ”
Xu Jie was surprised to pick up a square coin and looked at it again and again: "Such a beautiful coin is unique in the world, and it will definitely circulate in the world." ”
Zhao Xing said proudly: "And the key is that others can't forge it for the time being, so that we will be able to grasp the right to mint coins in the world." The conquest of the world is two kinds of weapons, one is the weapon, the other is the right to mint coinage, we have mastered the steel weapon, one of them, and then master the right to mint money, haha, the world is already in control. I'm going to be the creditor of the world, wife, are you happy, are you excited? ”
The wife nodded desperately, and the excitement was indescribable.
Qi Fei looked over and over again, "There are all kinds of coins in the world, but why not mint a round place that is in line with human feelings?" ”
Zhao Xing took the golden coin and said: "The so-called philosophy that the sky is round and the place is big is pure nonsense. The reason why most coins are outside the circle and inside is because everyone is casting, the outer circle is because it is easy to rub and rotate and polish, and the inner is because it can be threaded into the square iron bar to fix it, so don't put everything on the line, okay? ”
Qi Fei was ashamed. He was ashamed of his ignorance, because he only knew how to collect money and spend money, but not how to mint coins.
"And our coins, because of the cost of materials, there is no waste output, so I have more coins in the same amount of coin raw materials. And the inner circle is for the sake of wearing a rope. Of course, according to the far-fetched meaning of you scholars, I can also interpret it as that you must understand the rules when you are a person, be square and upright to the outside world, be smooth and flexible in your heart, and don't stick to prejudices. ”
As soon as such exquisite coins came out, they were immediately popular among the people and merchants, and in a blink of an eye, they overwhelmed all kinds of cloth coins in the original Zhao State and became popular, and the daily sonorous sound brought a huge amount of wealth to Zhao Xing.
