Chapter 260: Additional Orders

With the support of quality and price, there is nothing to stop the iron material from entering the Privy Council, and if it is usual, if there are a few privy envoys to help, Jia Chaochang can still delay it, but Ye Qingchen is eyeing him from the side, he can guarantee that as long as he dares to delay, then Ye Qingchen will definitely make things bigger.

The reason why the unspoken rule is called the unspoken rule is that it cannot see the light, and it can only be used under the premise of tacit understanding of everyone, and once it is exposed to the public, it must be in accordance with the rules.

In this way, Cao Di's promotion of the recital and the real thing caused a sensation in the Privy Council, coupled with the impetus of Ye Qingchen and others, and finally, a simple tentative resolution appeared.

It is said to be tentative, but for the behemoth of the Privy Council, the total amount is also very terrifying, from the previous month's number, increased to 2 months, 10 million catties, according to the price of the Daimyo's blacksmith workshop, a total of 350,000 yuan.

The money, which came out of the daily expenses, was provided in part by the Privy Council, and part by the Third Division was also supported, and it was in place within a week.

Ye Qingchen joined it, and Jia Chaochang was unhappy, in terms of quality and quantity, there was a clear limit, and the conditions in all aspects were extremely strict, that is to say, if Zhao Xin was to play a side game and use some deceptive methods to obtain this order, a loss of just one year would make him unbearable.

This is probably Jia Chaochang's last hope, because this is obviously unreasonable, why can the original price of about 80 Wen be reduced to 35 Wen, they will not think of technical improvement, they will only think of shoddy.

With the help of some officials who are familiar with iron, how strict it is, and maybe even the quality of the iron is 10% worse than the current one, it may be rejected.

Ye Qingchen also nodded again and again, what he hoped was to reduce costs, but he didn't want to reduce the quality, once there was a problem, he must also take responsibility as the one who proposed this proposal, and there was no loophole if he was strict, and he could say it anywhere, not afraid that someone would turn over the old accounts.

Looking at Jia Chaochang's activities, Tian Guo still wanted to say something, after all, some things are too strict, and that is not good, whose iron material, there will not be some quality fluctuations, almost enough, if it is according to the previous standard of iron materials, no matter how it fluctuates, it can be.

But Jia Chaochang insisted on this, as a privy envoy, he was really not a decoration, and his previous weakness was because he wanted to get benefits from it, which was a violation of the law, but when there was a legitimate reason, no one could overturn it.

After arguing with Jia Chaochang for a few points without success, Tian Guo began to set his sights on Han Qi, this matter, the starting point is Han Qi, if it weren't for Han Qi's intervention, it wouldn't have been so big, and now, the fire is burning, but he retreats.

Han Qi didn't retreat, but it was pointless to argue like this, not to mention Jia Chaochang's standard of forcible move, putting aside Jia Chaochang's selfishness, this would be beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty and the entire military.

The conservative increase in performance is more than 20%, which is a very big improvement in all aspects of the entire Buren Jia, which must be adhered to, as for not meeting the standard, Han Qi will never doubt it.

That's right, even if the relationship with Zhao Xin has not been for a long time, but what Zhao Xin expressed gave Han Qi a certain feeling, as long as Zhao Xin mentioned it, no matter how unbelievable it was, then it must be true.

The longbow is like this, the fortress is like this, and even said that if you take the city wall of Baozhou, then take the city wall of Baozhou, without a little discount, maybe this twist is written by Cao Di, but there is no Zhao Xin's efforts in it, it must be a lie.

Zhao Xindu intervened, so he couldn't think about the problem and rashly entered a field, or was it such a dense field with money and materials, he wouldn't consider the difficulties, and just thought that things were advanced and could intervene in this field?

Of course this is impossible, Zhao Xin dares to take out these things, for sure, there are better ones in his hands, Mo said that this condition is one percent lower than what he takes out now, even if it is according to the quality of these samples, even a little stronger, Han Qi will believe that he will definitely be able to do it.

Since this is the case, why not set the conditions more strictly, maybe for Zhao Xin, it is to earn a little less, but for the Great Song Dynasty and the military, there are too many benefits.

It was this kind of thinking that Han Qi did not intervene, watching Jia Chaochang set the conditions, which were higher than the previous standards of iron materials.

After the treaty was officially signed, to put it bluntly, in the name of the Privy Council, a procurement request was issued to the Daimyo's Mansion, and the money and the requirements would go together, and the Privy Council of the Northern Song Dynasty had formed a complete system, even if it was a change, it would not directly sign a contract with the blacksmiths.

At this time, Han Qi interjected and said, "Wait a minute!" ”

Tian Guo sighed depressedly, don t say it sooner, this will say, it's too late, is it possible, is there still a way for him to overturn the agreement that has been made, han qi thinks a little too highly of himself.

Even Jia Chaochang felt that Han Qi was a little overwhelmed and was about to refute, but what Han Qi said made him helpless.

Han Qi's request is very simple, the iron material set by the Privy Council is the Privy Council as a whole, and it is used for the entire Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, but he also has to decide.

That's right, from the moment he saw the iron material, Han Qi was thinking that he wanted to reform the entire military system and reform the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, which was mainly heavy armored infantry, into a new type of military with longbowmen as the main and heavy infantry and cavalry as the auxiliary.

The army brought from Baozhou, plus some of them, has prepared four armies, almost 10,000 people, and in the future, it will continue to be transformed to ensure the combat effectiveness of hundreds of thousands of troops on the four roads of Shaanxi.

In this way, the demand for iron is a bit large, the longbow itself does not need iron, only suitable wood and silk can be used, but the long arrow must be iron, especially some special long arrows, almost one or two as heavy.

The terrible thing about the longbow is that the range and rate of fire are more than 3 times the consumption of arrows, and the weight is almost 5 times, when an army is popularized to 1500, or even 1800 longbowmen, the consumption of arrows is an astronomical amount.

Before, when he didn't know Zhao Xin's daimyo blacksmith workshop, he could only fight for the internal deployment of the Privy Council, but now, with this blacksmith workshop, he can put this hope on the blacksmith workshop and order a batch of iron, if it is an arrowhead, it would be even better.

Even compared to the Privy Council, Han Qi's has an advantage, the money on hand is already in place, as long as it is used for the armament in the northwest, as long as the Privy Council and the three divisions are notified, they can follow and place orders.

Jia Chaochang didn't expect that Han Qi put forward this request, to be honest, this request has something to do with the Privy Council, but it has nothing to do with it, Han Qi's 200,000 yuan is going down with a hat, as long as it is used in Shaanxi's armaments, what to buy, whose things to buy, really, the three divisions can manage it.

Looking at Ye Qingchen's expression, it was obvious that he was very satisfied with Han Qi's approach, although it was impossible for Han Qi to return the money saved by Han Qi to the third division, but he used less money to do more things, which in itself was saving, besides, with this precedent, when appropriating funds in the future, it would be taken into account, and maybe, the appropriation in the next year and tomorrow would save a lot of money.

Jia Chaochang smiled dryly, then waved his hand, leave it alone, on Han Qi, Jia Chaochang suffered a big loss today, he didn't expect that Han Qi, who seemed harmless to humans and animals in the past, was so terrible after revealing his grandeur.

Jia Chaochang brushed his sleeves away, and the rest of the people became lively.

Han Qi ignored Jia Chaochang's attitude, and he began to work with the Privy Council to customize this additional order.

Of course, what Han Qi needs most is the arrow of the longbow, and he made a separate inquiry, 35 Wen a pound of iron, 300,000 catties, and it is only about 10,000 yuan, which is far from the funds in his hands, if the price of the arrow is about the same level, or a little higher, you can also buy it and try it.

In the end, Han Qi took out 50,000 guan and bought 1.5 million catties of iron, including 900,000 catties of arrowheads and almost 600,000 catties of iron, in terms of price, as long as it does not exceed 45 yuan, it is acceptable, and the remaining iron materials have also made an agreement, which is mainly used for the repair of infantry armor and other weapons.

The order of the Privy Council belongs to the order of the Privy Council, which is the largest in the entire Northern Song Dynasty military, but it does not mean that there are no other orders, in fact, there are many such orders, Han Qi just started from his own point of view, but he didn't expect it, but he made a start.

After Han Qi ate the first crab, soon, another privy deputy also decided to tentatively buy 1 million catties first.

He is responsible for the construction of the northern city defense, in the construction of the city defense, a large amount of stone is needed, and a large amount of iron is also needed, 1 million catties, that is, 1 month's sales.

Compared with Hu Hanqi, he is more cautious, and with a month's foundation, he can continue to follow-up.

The two privy deputy envoys have already set an example, who will stop, with a big head on it, some officials who have nothing to do with iron materials have also begun to take action.

After all, the iron material transactions of the entire Privy Council were controlled by Jia Chaochang before, and he was able to get involved very little.

Iron is cheap, and although most of the money saved can't go into their hands, even if it's only a part, it will make them a little more comfortable.

The finances of the entire Northern Song Dynasty were tight, and even the Privy Council was very tight, even if it was loose, or there were additional funds that could be handled, it was a good thing for any official.

One by one, there are no stakes, Jia Chaochang's previous practice allowed the iron material to enter the Privy Council, saving a lot of time and relationships, and after it was detonated at the right time, everyone was enthusiastic.
