Yang Wang thought that Pang Huan was joking at first, but when he entered the Science and Technology City, he realized that Pang Huan was not lying, and there are only ten workshops in the Science and Technology City: machinery, biscuits, fireworks, soy sauce, cane sugar, green salt, cement, glass, perfume, and brick tea. Each workshop has its own product showroom, from the introduction of goods to packaging, there must be a lot; Although the city lord Tianyu went out several times to help the Sui army fight, most of his time and effort were in the science and technology city.

The family members and the people in charge of the business who came with him were all looking around, and Yang Wang said directly to Tianyu: "Go to the machinery factory and have a look." ”

In fact, the magnates of Chang'an all know that Tianwu and Pang Huan don't care about business, and it is Lao Disabled and Yuwensui who are in charge of business, but even these two are not qualified to enter the mechanical workshop, except for Tianyi, only Yang Chong, Pang Huan, Yuan Xiren, Yuwenwen, Cui Hongdan, and Yang Yanda can enter. But whenever there is an order, whether to do it or not, and when to deliver it, it is all Tianwu who has the final say, if Tianwu and Pang Huan are not there, the mechanical workshop will not accept the order.

Tianyu didn't squeak, Yang Chong nodded and said, "I haven't been to see it for a long time, attack, you and Cui Yao take everyone to walk around the city, and I'll accompany Lord Yang and King Cai to take a trip." ”

One sheep is also driving, and two sheep are also driving, since I agree to see it, I don't care about Yang Zhiji alone; Kong Yingda, Yu Xuan, and Sikong Xing followed, and the others all consciously stopped. The mechanical workshop occupies one-fifth of the inner city, and the high wall partition is like a city within a city, and when you walk to the workshop, it looks a bit like a blacksmith's shop, sparks fly on the grinding furnace, and the craftsmen dancing steel tongs and the fiery steel bars are twisted together, and the shadows under the firelight are hideous and huge.

But Yang Wang and others understood that it was by no means a blacksmith shop, and in every wide workshop, there were several special equipment there, and Yang Chong could not design the automatic machine, but he Tianyi designed those auxiliary equipment such as wrenches, bends, and positioning assembly frames. Yang Wang and others saw with their own eyes that two skilled craftsmen clamped the red iron bar with steel tongs, fixed it with one person, and turned around beautifully to bend the iron bar to the specified specifications.

A few people commented to the back warehouse, dozens of different machines were visiting on different shelves, and Tianwu directly brought everyone to a new machine, and introduced: "This is a thunderbolt designed for the army, which emits smoke and poison gas during the war, making it impossible for the opponent's army to fight; It is not known which army uses it, because the effect of actual combat is unpredictable. ”

Yang Chong nodded and said, "This matter is decided by Yujuluo, you tell me the results of the experiment." ”

Tian Yu handed over a document and replied: "We have tried it in the mountains and in the Kunming Pool, basically a cannon and a boat, a medium loach boat. This was the signature of the inspectors at that time, and General Sikong and Yuan Shao were also present. ”

After Yang Chong took it and looked at it, he praised it and said: "Yes, all the workers will be rewarded with a month's wages. ”

Tian Yu thanked him and said: "Master of the family, you see, that kind of return cannon is not difficult, but now the Science and Technology City is short of manpower, and the mining of 300 catties of boulders is really insufficient; Can you ask the army to help with quarrying, after all, the final detection effect is still up to the army. The best way is to appoint generals in the army, after all, actual combat operations need to be repeatedly demonstrated, and this is not my strong point. ”

A few people laughed and came to the back cannon that Tianwu said, one large and one small are somewhat similar to trebuchets, which is indeed not difficult for Tianwu; Tianwu pointed to the small one and said: "That's it, you need to drag two hundred people, and the stone projectile fired is one hundred catties, which can shoot ninety steps; According to my estimates, the large one requires 500 people to drag their hands, and the stone projectiles fired are 300 catties, which can shoot 300 to 350 steps. ”

The experience of fighting in the battle was definitely insufficient, Yang Chong thought about it and asked Sikong Xing: "Can you transfer Yuan Shao and Yu Qinzhang to your troops and let them be responsible for training these two troops?" ”

Sikong Xing smiled and said, "It's definitely no problem, the right body is still an empty shelf, and I need people." ”

Jiang Duo returned to Zuo Yiwei as a general, Wei Zheng and others did not agree with Sikong Xing to serve as a guard lieutenant, and Sikong Xing was reappointed as the general of the Right Reserve Mansion, and the troops were not replenished at all, but some Qianniuwei and logistical officers and soldiers were allocated to fill the number, and now there are only more than 4,000 people. Yang Chong clapped his hands and said: "Then the thunderbolt cannon and the return cannon are ready for you, more than 4,000 veterans are enough, and you go to Shandong, Yangzhou and other places to replenish 10,000 soldiers in the Supreme Army, not only to help the armory workshop, but also to be familiar with the use of these weapons." ”

Of course, Yang Zhiji and Yang Wang understood that there was only one place where this kind of siege weapon could be used, and that was Goguryeo, and according to this plan, when the right reserve was formed into an army, it was the day when Yang Chong went out to Goguryeo. It seems that although the two sides have made peace, Goguryeo is desperately building ships and building the Great Wall, Yang Chong is not idle, the science and technology city is just a microcosm, and it is not known how many workshops across the country are preparing for the battle below.

Yang Zhiji asked Yang Chong in a low voice: "I heard that biscuits are produced in equipment, and the output is large, I don't know if you can help me order a device?" ”

This is to steal business, the two biscuit workshops in Dasui are both from Yang's house, one is in Jiuquan City, and the other is in Science and Technology City, so Yang Chong is an absolute monopoly in the production of biscuits. Yang Chong smiled and asked, "Is it that Dao Xuan has encountered some difficulties, but he is really ready to enter this industry?" ”

Yang Zhiji shook his head and said: "It's not that our father and son are going to do it, I talked to Yang Ciyou, she was very excited, and finally said that she wanted to get an industry for Queen Xiao, so we talked about the biscuit workshop." I thought it would be good for both sides if a workshop could be exchanged for a peaceful settlement. ”

Yang Chong said decisively: "When Empress Xiao arrives in Chang'an, I will give her a workshop, but Yang Zhengdao can only be an official in Yulin City, and when she comes to Chang'an, she will be a common man." I can arrange the accommodation and give him a sum of money. ”

Since it is a bargaining code, Yang Chong is not polite, all the words are clear, Yang Zhengdao can also go back to Chang'an, that is, the common people, Yang Zhiji joked: "That's too cruel." ”

Yang Chong said seriously: "It's not cruel, but I don't want Yang Zhengdao to become another Yang Dong, Yang Dong is a prince in Chang'an, he can't be satisfied, I really can't do anything about them." If I take a step back, Empress Xiao will blackmail a little more, and each time the price will be bigger than the last time, when will there be an end; So tell them clearly that only money has no power, and let them die. ”
