Chapter 35 Proceedings in Progress (1)

With everyone's warm applause, Hua Tuo suddenly seemed to feel everyone's respect for him, stood up and bowed to everyone again and again.

Bai Yang waved his hand and said, "Okay, time is limited, you can get along with Yuanhua after the meeting." Now that the first thing is said and done, let's talk about the second thing. ”

"During this time, the Ordnance Department has continuously developed several tests, and now Minister Sun will give you a specific introduction."

"Yes, my lord. Ahem, my lord, colleagues. Since the establishment of the Ordnance Department, with the efforts of the master and the craftsmen, we have made great progress, and we have successfully tested several finished products. ”

"First, under the condition of the existing iron metal, according to the theory of the lord, several craftsmen led the apprentices to conduct large-scale experiments. Now we have developed a high-quality iron that belongs to our Taishoufu, and the hardness and toughness have been increased by four to six times on the original basis, and according to the opinion of the lord, we have renamed the new type of iron as steel. The lord said that this is called 'a hundred tempered into steel', so the name is derived. ”

"Right now, if the steel of our Taishou Mansion is made into a weapon, it can be called a divine weapon. But the only drawback is that refining steel is too waste of iron, we can now experiment and buy it on a small scale outside, but if you want to make weapons on a large scale, you have to find the veins of iron ore, and do a good job of protective measures, after all, the crime of casting weapons without permission is not light. ”

"Second, according to the opinion of the lord, I sent a few apprentices to look for the salt lake, they came back a few days ago, and found the salt lake that the lord said in the Lingshou area, about a hundred kilometers north of the county town, according to the samples they took back, it was found that it could not be eaten directly, and it needed to be further processed and filtered before it could be eaten."

"Third, after more than ten days, the lord and the craftsmen have successfully made a mechanical watch, which is placed in our training ground, and everyone is familiar with it these days. During this time, the craftsmen of our ordnance department imitated three small mechanical watches, two of which were qualified and could be used normally, this mechanical watch said that the small ones were only compared to those on the training ground, and the single one was taken out at about one meter, so it was not small. ”

"Fourth, under the leadership of the lord, we officially developed the paper that belongs to our Taishou Mansion yesterday - Baiyang paper and toilet paper."

"According to the meaning of the lord, yesterday overnight, under the leadership of Li Lao, all the remaining pulp from yesterday was made into white sun paper and toilet paper. Among them: Baiyang paper is one meter long and fifty centimeters wide, according to one knife and one hundred sheets, five pieces of paper were made last night. ”

"Of course, this efficiency is done under the premise of sufficient manpower and not producing pulp, and if you count the pulp production process in the early stage, this cycle is a bit long. But if we have a large-scale production workshop in the future, we can definitely guarantee that the speed of five knives of white sun paper per day is no problem at all. ”

"The above is the basic situation of the Ordnance Department." After Sun Chen finished speaking, he sat down. ”

"Everybody talk about what they think." Bai Yang saw that Sun Chen said so much at once, everyone raised their heads with a look of surprise on their faces, and said to everyone with a smile.

To be honest, the most surprising one here is Hua Tuo. When he first came here, he didn't know much about Bai Yang, he only knew that Bai Yang had not been in Changshan County for a long time, and he had not been in the position of Taishou for a few months. I can't imagine that he has done so many earth-shattering things, and he is really a genius who has passed through heaven and earth.

"Lord, you are too good! We've been walking for so many days, and you've led everyone to do so many things, and I admire you too much. Zhou Cang looked surprised when he heard this, and when he heard Bai Yangrang speak, he immediately said.

"Yes, my lord. I've been training people in the house every day, and I've always thought I'm busy. I can't imagine that my lord is busier than me, and he has done so many things. Pei Yuanqing was also surprised.

"Okay, a guy is in a hurry. Let's talk about the handling and views of these things. Bai Yang saw that Zhang Wen and the others were about to stand up and say, so he quickly stopped it.

Although everyone loves to listen to sycophants, it also scores occasions. Now that everyone is taking time out of their busy schedules to have meetings, we can't take up everyone's time like that.

In fact, Bai Yang also knew that if he wanted to listen to his opinions, Jia Xu and others could say a few words, this was not a march to fight, and Zhou Cang and others were still not good at this.

Seeing that after Bai Yang said something, everyone didn't know what to say, Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Since no one said it, then take a look at this up-and-coming bird, if there is something wrong, I hope you will correct it in time." ”

"The matter of steel can be developed for the time being, but it is not suitable to build weapons on a large scale. Now everyone has enough weapons, so you can use spears and one-handed knives first, and then make plans after finding iron ore veins. Of course, the degree of secrecy is also one thing, just like Minister Sun just said, it is not a trivial matter to let others know that we have privately cast troops. ”

"The second is the matter of the salt lake, in fact, the lord also told me about it some time ago. The main reason for finding salt lakes to make salt is money, but now that we have Baiyang paper, we don't need to go so far to make salt, which is too time-consuming and manpower-consuming. This can be done after we have full control of Changshan County, which will also help to do a good job of secrecy. ”

"The third thing is the mechanical watch, which is epoch-making and beneficial to anything we do in our day-to-day work. Therefore, I think that it should be appropriately added to research and manufacturing, and may be used in various industries in the future. ”

"The fourth is white sun paper and toilet paper, and the toilet paper owner does not plan to sell it, so it is good to produce some in moderation for the daily use of the Taishou Mansion. The main problem is Baiyang paper, Xu went back yesterday and learned according to the Jinyiwei channel that Cai Hou paper has now been copied to a particularly high price by the family. A knife of Caihou paper can now be sold for 100 gold, which is a very large profit, or a huge profiteering industry. ”

"As long as Baiyang paper is successfully produced and sold, we will have endless money to spend. But the most troublesome thing now is what channel to sell it through? If you sell it yourself, it will have a bad impact on our Taishou Mansion, and the merchants will seek profits, and it will be difficult for the Magi to come to the lord again if the Taishou Mansion does business. ”

"It's too slow to let Jinyiwei or secretly support businessmen to do this business, after all, there is no sign of guarding the mansion, and it is too difficult to do what we want. That's all there is to it. After Jia Xu finished speaking, he looked at everyone, probably wanting to hear everyone's opinions.

"Lord, Wen Zhong thinks that he can find a relatively large business to cooperate. We provide the goods, they are responsible for sales, according to the profit sharing. Zhu Yan thought for a while and said.

"Lord, our Baiyang paper is much stronger than Caihou paper, how much are you going to price?" Hua Tuo is more concerned about the price of white sun paper.

"Lord, why don't we cooperate with the pawn shop owner when we first entered the city. I heard that the boss of Wu Youde is a well-known Mi family firm in the East China Sea, and the Mi family has been in business for generations, and they are among the best business houses in the Han Dynasty. I feel that Boss Wu is a good person, so their owner should also be a good person. Hu Zhi also raised his hand and whispered when he saw everyone finish speaking.

Bai Yang slapped the table when he heard Hu Zhi say this: "That's right! I didn't expect that Team Hu's proposal was very good. ”

Hearing Bai Yang's approval, Hu Zhi was very happy, he was the youngest here, and he was usually lively, so he felt a little timid to participate in such a formal meeting. Now that he heard Bai Yang say this, he was overjoyed, and he looked at Fu Tong vigorously, as if he was saying to Fu Tong, "How about it, I'm amazing, the lord said that my idea is good." ”

After everyone expressed some opinions, Bai Yang coughed lightly and said, "Okay, I listened to a lot of useful opinions from everyone just now, now I will summarize them." ”

"In the days that followed, the Ordnance Department collected as much iron as it could and smelted it into steel. Tomorrow, Sun Chen will bring the blacksmith Liu Lao to my study, because I need to do special training for a group of people after a while, so I need a weapon. I will give you the model of the weapons that need to be built, and you will mainly build weapons in the next period of time, and you must build five hundred weapons within a week, ensuring that each of the Black Cloud Brigade and the sergeants of the Guards Department will have one. ”

"The matter of the salt lake is over for the time being, and we will discuss it later when we need it."

"Mechanical watches can also be slowed down, there are already a few for the time being, and they will be put into production when they are needed later."

"In the end, there is the matter of Baiyang Paper, I decided to cooperate with Mi, but the specific situation will be discussed at that time. Tomorrow, Sun Chen will take the time to bring some Baiyang paper to Boss Wu and ask him to contact their owner to see their intentions. The matter of the Ordnance Department is like this first, and let's talk about the situation of the Property Department. ”
