The establishment of the Military Aircraft Department brought Liang Jia's initial reform plan to an end.

The reform involves the three important departments of the army, the supervision department, and the taxation, as well as the establishment of the two spy agencies of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, as well as the shop of Daliang Royal Bank, which collects money, Liang Jia feels that it is time to calm down and give the country a little respite.

After the last tributary ceremony, Lee Sung-ok of Silla and Inoue and the Inoue of Toyo talked back and forth many times, but no agreement was reached.

The Administration Office gave full play to Liang Jia's guiding ideology, and when it came to supporting Silla and trading daily necessities with the Oriental Kingdom, the lion opened his mouth, which made Lee Sung-ok and Inoue very annoyed.

Especially Li Chengyu is very anxious, there are flying pigeons in the country every day, the rebels are getting stronger and stronger, and the royal court army is becoming more and more unable to resist, and it is estimated that it will soon be able to hit the royal court.

But every time the news came from China, Li Chengyu was urged to hurry up and negotiate with Daliang Guo about borrowing troops, but he avoided talking about the conditions for Daliang State to send troops to Li Chengyu's report, which made Li Chengyu embarrassed and couldn't open the gap in negotiations at all.

At the ceremony, although a large number of emperors proposed a condition to be responsible for military expenses and garrisons, now the group of officials of the Administration Office proposed to send teachers to all the academies of Silla to teach the writing and knowledge of the Great Liang Kingdom.

This is much more ruthless than the garrison. Where did Li Chengyu dare to agree.

And the Oriental country Inoue Ueno side is also very depressed, the price of various materials proposed by the Great Liang State is outrageously high, more than five times higher than the market price of various materials in the Great Liang Country that they investigated, especially the grain, it has risen tenfold, if you buy a hundred thousand catties of grain, a silver mine is estimated to be dug up.

After going back and forth four times, the prices of many things have managed to drive down, but they are also three times higher than the market price. But in terms of grain, Daliang Guo will not let go, and it will be stuck at eight times the market price.

Daliang doesn't have much surplus grain, and this time he was able to trade with the Oriental Kingdom, mainly because Liang Jia wanted to get Liang's silver to supply domestic trading needs.

With more silver and more purchasing power, the purchasing power of the common people has increased, so naturally there are people rushing to grow grain.

There is a great demand for silver in the Great Liang Kingdom, and it may not be possible to empty a silver mine in the Oriental Kingdom.

Although Inoue did not make the situation in their country clear, Liang Jia knew that the general Jiayuan who had just successfully quelled the rebellion must be facing a mess, and it was very likely that there would be a food shortage, otherwise how could Inoue Ye be so urgent to let him buy grain from Liang.

Liang Jiacai doesn't care how many times they talk, they can't suffer losses anyway, even if they can't meet these conditions in the end, they just don't trade.

Even if the current lord of Silla hangs up, the new lord will still be a vassal state of the Great Liang State in the future, so who is not the change. As for the Oriental Kingdom, if they don't agree to pull it down, it's good that everyone is dead, anyway, Liang Jia doesn't have a good impression of them at all.

In the days that followed, Liang Jia went to give lectures to the students of the School of Administration, listened to the work of the Military Aircraft Department, and was interested in reading some excerpts. When you're bored, follow the bones to learn spells.

It's a pity that Liang Jia's body has no talent for cultivating spells, and he has been practicing until the Chinese New Year is approaching, and he can't practice a spell that shoots a small fireball.

Although Xiao Gu was not impatient, he still tried his best to teach Liang Jia how to sensual the aura of heaven and earth, but Liang Jia could also sense the air he breathed, what kind of aura was, he didn't feel it at all.

There was no way, Liang Jia had to give up in the end.

There are about ten days left before the New Year, and the palace is preparing all kinds of things for the New Year every day under the arrangement of the queen and Koharuko. The capital is even more lively, and the flow of people is much more than usual.

Liang Jia also went shopping a few times, and bought a few fireworks to keep for the Chinese New Year.

However, obviously he is worried a little too much, there is a craftsman in the palace who specializes in making fireworks for the royal family, and the fireworks he makes are quite exquisite and beautiful, compared to the monotonous ones that Liang Jia bought outside, I don't know how many times better.

Thinking about it, he was relieved, there are very few craftsmen of firearms outside, and there are naturally very few people who can make fireworks, and it is enough to sell them if they can release colorful colors.

Thinking of this firearms craftsman, Liang Jia immediately asked people to call Wen Xiansen into the palace and ask about the results of the musket production.

After Wen Xiansen entered the palace, he reported it. They collected only about 100 craftsmen from all over the country, most of them were quite old, and few were young. These old people are also handed down from the previous generation, although they have not forgotten them, but they are a lot less familiar with their hands.

Knowing that today, dozens of muskets have been made, and there are still problems with them, and there is no way to use them.

"Since these old people are unfamiliar with their craft, let them be more familiar with it, and don't be too anxious. In addition, it is not possible to rely on 100 people to make muskets, but to select soldiers from the army who are interested in weapons, or to recruit other craftsmen, and then let these young people learn the art of making guns in a way that the old and the new are brought in. ”

"I understand." Wen Xiansen hurriedly replied.

"After I go back, try to divide these old people into groups, some of them are responsible for making guns, stocks, barrels, and bullets, so that the speed should be much higher."

Wen Xiansen hurriedly agreed again, and then raised a difficult question: "There are not many reserves of things to make guns, and now that the treasury of the military department has bottomed out, the minister doesn't know where to replenish it for a while." ”

"After the firearms were abandoned, did the work of several minerals related to the manufacture of firearms also stop?"

"Yes. The mines were all sealed by the imperial court, and the ministers had also heard that there were also private mining, but the quantity could be used to make some fireworks. ”

"I know, this matter is led by your military aircraft department, and it is important to build a working musket in the future. After the year, I can count on firearms to show their might. ”

"Obey."

"Besides, how about I let your military aircraft department select experienced instructors to enter the Royal Military Academy?"

The minister contacted dozens of people, but only two were willing. But they're all a bit old, so I'm afraid they're not suitable for teaching, right? ”

"When you are older, you can teach some tactics and the like, you first select a group of capable junior officers from all over the country to serve as ordinary teachers, mainly to exercise the body, practice formations, and improve skills, and then re-select and appoint if there is a suitable one later."

"Chen understands, this can be carried out together with the selection of ordinary soldiers to study in military academies."

"Yes, it will be issued to various places in the name of the Military Aircraft Department."
