Chapter 769: Yang Xiao's Strangeness!
And these are all things he dreamed of, and now, he got them all at once!
"Minister Zheng Yue, thank Your Majesty for your grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Zheng Yue shouted excitedly, shouting long live to vent his inner excitement!
When many ministers saw this scene, they couldn't help but recall their career experience, except for Zhang Feizi, all of you here climbed up from the bottom, this climb is exhausting for half a life, and it is as difficult as it is to be promoted, but now, people have only been in the military department for a few days, and they have become eight-rank officials.
Envy!
Many ministers regretted joining the office, they knew that craftsmen were so popular, and they also went to work as craftsmen, maybe they would have been sealed now.
"I will not treat any of the heroes who have contributed to Great Qin, this is what you deserve, get up, don't kneel!" Yingchang raised his hand with a smile on his face!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zheng Yue burst into tears of excitement.
Another big man is in tears!
In the following time, Fang Zi introduced the rest of the armorers involved in artillery research one by one, after some introduction, Yingchang understood every armorer involved in artillery research, and then canonized, except for Zheng Yue, the rest were canonized with the rank of Zhengjiupin, a bounty of one hundred taels, and the name of the national craftsman!
For a moment, twenty armorers of various ages shed tears of excitement.
After half a year of hard work, everything is worth it!
"Fang Aiqing, how much does an ugly cow-style cannon cost?" Ying Chang looked at Fang Zi calmly and asked.
This question is very critical, it is a very important question, and it is also the question that Household Shangshu Jia Luo wants to ask the most.
Fang Zi frowned slightly, his eyebrows fell into contemplation, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the weight of an ugly bull artillery is 30,000 catties, which means that at least 30,000 catties of pure iron are needed to build, and 30,000 catties of pure iron require 50,000 catties of iron ore, and the price of iron ore purchased by the ironmaking division is 10,000 catties of iron ore and 100,000 yuan, that is to say, the cost of pure iron consumed by an ugly bull artillery alone will cost 500,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 5,000 taels of silver!" ”
"Plus the labor cost, the labor cost does not need to be calculated, this is already in the overall budget of the Ministry of War, mainly artillery shells, the cost of a shell is one hundred taels of silver!"
"What, a hundred taels, what is this shell in? Could it be that it is full of silver? Tobe Shangshu Jia Luo couldn't help but exclaim, and was taken aback.
Fang Zi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Lord Jia, the cannonball is filled with gunpowder, and the gunpowder is composed of nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur, these three are actually not rare, as long as you are willing, it is easy to get, but there is a return, how much is a problem!" ”
"Although there are many businessmen in Daqin who open nitrate, their mining technology is limited, they cannot provide a large number of them, and the labor cost is very large, as the so-called scarcity is expensive, and it is precisely because of this that fireworks will become a luxury product, ordinary people can't afford fireworks at all, and the same is true for cannonballs!"
Hearing this, Ying Chang couldn't help but turn his head to look at Pei Ji, thinking, Pei Ji just set off millions of fireworks, how much did it cost?
If it really sounded as soon as the cannon sounded, it was ten thousand taels of gold!
"Can't we reduce costs?" Jia Luo said bitterly.
A shell is a hundred taels, ten rounds is a thousand taels, and a hundred rounds is ten thousand taels, Jarrow can imagine that if this artillery falls into the hands of the army, those generals will not be polite to him, and they will definitely come with a few hundred cannons, and when the time comes, tens of thousands of taels of silver will be lost.
"How can the sharp weapons in the army be reduced!" Bai Qi, who has been silent, scolded!
Jarrow shrunk his neck, not daring to continue.
"Can this ugly bull gun be disassembled?" Yingchang continued to ask.
"Yes!" Fang Zi replied without hesitation.
Hearing this, Ying Chang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if the ugly cow artillery can't be disassembled, it will be really troublesome, 30,000 catties of big guys, there are no more than a dozen horses that can't pull at all, and even if it moves, it is also a snail speed, when the time comes, a cannon will slow down the marching speed of the whole army, and the distance that can be reached in a day will have to go for four or five days.
It can be disassembled much more conveniently, and it can be broken into parts, and the pulling of a car greatly improves the efficiency of artillery transportation.
"It's best to be able to disassemble, okay, let's do it first, the specific matters will be discussed at the court meeting tomorrow, by the way, Zhang Aiqing, when will Yin Hai return to Xianyang?" Yingchang turned his head to look at Zhang Feizi and asked.
Zhang Feizi bent down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, calculate the time, presumably Governor Yin has already arrived in Xianyang, and it is estimated that he is resting at home now!" ”
"Send someone to order Yin Hai to enter the palace to participate in the court meeting!" Ying Chang then said.
"Yes!" Zhang Feizi responded respectfully.
....
After a period of time, Ying Chang left the weapon test site with his men and returned to the Xianyang Palace!
Moment!
Ying Chang and Pei Ji and a thousand Praetorian Guards finally returned to the palace, after returning to the palace, Pei Ji left only Cao Zhen and ten Xianyang Palace guards, and the rest returned to their residences, while Ying Chang took Pei Ji, Cao Zhen and other ten Xianyang Palace guards to Ganquan Palace!
Ganquan Palace!
The lights of Ganquan Palace have been extinguished, it is pitch black, there are ten Ganquan Palace guards guarding in front of the palace gate, Yingchang did not shout in order not to disturb Yang Xiao's rest, nor did he let Ganquan Palace Martial Guard Chang Xiyang go to report, but sneaked into the main hall of Ganquan Palace alone.
After entering the main hall, Yingchang touched into the dormitory again, but as soon as he entered the dormitory, he saw Yang Xiao on the phoenix collapse looking at him with wide eyes.
"You haven't slept yet?" Ying Chang raised his eyebrows, obviously not expecting that Yang Xiao hadn't slept at this time.
Yang Xiao got up from the phoenix with a tired face, at this time she was wearing a red loose underwear, which can be described as a spring breeze, and the sharp eyes were normal, even the red belly pocket was seen, and involuntarily, a fire was aroused in the abdomen.
Yang Xiao walked barefoot behind Yingchang and untied his wide clothes, "Tell you something, I'm pregnant!" Yang Xiao said in a low voice while untying Yingchang's wide clothes.
"Huh?" Ying Chang was stunned suddenly, and the fire that had just been aroused in his abdomen was instantly extinguished.
Ying Chang turned around violently, picked up Yang Xiao, put his face on the side of Yang Xiao's cheek, and said with a rich smile on his face: "Today is really a double happiness, hahaha!" ”
"Alas~" Yang Xiao sighed with a sad expression, gently pushed away Yingchang's arms, and walked silently to the edge of the phoenix collapse alone, and then sat on the head of the bed in a daze, looking like he had lost his mind.
Seeing that Yang Xiao was inexplicably abnormal, Ying Chang couldn't help frowning, and immediately walked to Yang Xiao's side, sat down gently, and asked with a puzzled and worried expression: "Why are you like this, maybe you don't want this child?" ”
