His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied with the several firearms produced by Huashan, which were far better than bows and arrows and other cold weapons in terms of convenience and lethality. Moreover, if such weapons are installed in the troops, even the training and combat methods will be changed.

More importantly, this thermal weapon relies almost exclusively on a powerful logistical supply. In this way, as long as the logistics and soldiers are completely separated, it will be much easier to control the soldiers under his command.

After comprehensive analysis and comparison, His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed, and directly shouted that he wanted to change his clothes comprehensively. It's a pity that after hearing about the cost of this weapon and the resources required, His Majesty Li Er's courage almost shrank back in fright.

Just one bullet, just the shell of the bullet, it needs seven copper coins of copper! In other words, not counting labor, just the cost of materials, a bullet is nearly ten dollars! Coupled with the gunpowder in the core, the warhead that flew out and could not be recovered at all, and a single gunshot sounded at a costly cost of more than thirty wen!

His Majesty Li Er, who was immersed in target shooting and couldn't extricate himself, poured a bucket of cold water on his head by this terrible expense, and his whole body trembled with excitement. Good guy, I have been practicing guns for the past few days, and I have fired at least 100 rounds of ammunition every day, which is a waste of money! Now the price of grain on the market is six cents of rice, and the consumption of this day is converted into grain......

In this case, His Majesty Li Er naturally raised his hands in favor of his son's plan to convert precious metals. The most important thing is that not to mention that all the expenditures during the period, the production and issuance of gold, silver, and copper coins do not require the contribution of the imperial court!

Even the ten coinage furnaces in the whole territory of the Tang Dynasty were saved before, in Li Tai's words, a coinage furnace can mint 100,000 yuan a year? Not to mention whether that money is enough and embarrassing, the key is that so many people toss one thing, and in the end they still lose money? Forget it, let's save that bit of copper, and grind a mirror for the ladies in the palace to play, at least not at a loss!

It's a good thing that the sons have the ability, no matter how they toss, it doesn't matter to Li Er's family, anyway, it is themselves who benefit in the end. As for the reaction of those officials of the imperial court? To paraphrase Li Tai: Phew! You can do it, you can't do it, don't **! What's the matter with losing money and making sense?!

With the help of powerful new steam engines, mining and smelting technology has improved by leaps and bounds in the past year. The results of one mining area in Tongchuan alone are more than the total mining in the entire territory of Datang in the past year! This is only a three-month achievement, really let them let go of their hands and feet, as long as it takes one year, I am afraid that the copper material obtained will be able to catch up with the inventory of the whole Datang!

These news, except for Li Er's family and some relevant high-ranking officials, are still kept secret from the outside world. With such a strong backhand, the so-called wealthy family really dares to come to the table to stand against the court, hehe...... It's a little bit of a look forward to it.

All kinds of good news bombarded the weak agricultural world one after another, and many families with better eyes came out of the mountains one after another, using their own family connections, and suddenly flocked to Chang'an, intending to buy themselves a Datang ferry ticket before the upcoming big changes.

A situation like the Yuan family's is happening almost all the time in the entire Tang Dynasty. The wealthy family headed by the five surnames and Qiwang, after thousands of years of accumulation and the efforts of several generations, have worked hard to build the knowledge barrier, and inadvertently, it has collapsed. The meaning of existence has been completely lost.

Under the leadership of Xiao Rui, the children of the Yuan family who came to see the head of the royal librarian were all stunned when they saw the tall and neat bookshelves and the dazzling array of books. In these years, the so-called family heritage, the most able to show strength, is the number of books in the family! And on the row of large shelves in front of them, a little visual inspection can find that the books in them have far exceeded the total number of books they have seen in all their lives!

Sutra, History, Child, Collection! There are as many bookshelves as there are in each category!

The children of the Yuan family, who had complicated feelings, washed their hands under the guidance, took the sleeves and put them on, each took a library card, and went to the bookshelf to experience it for himself.

The Analects alone has more than 20 editions, including the Baiwen edition, the commentary version, and the celebrity annotated edition. All the books they've seen and heard since they started school can be found here! There are even many books that have never been heard of before are placed on the classic shelves.

I took out a book at random and flipped through it, and the joy in everyone's hearts became stronger and stronger. Thanks to the decisiveness of the family, this time I came to Chang'an, and I really came to the right place! If you live a small life at home again, I am afraid that in a few years, the so-called family will become a joke.

Land? If people have good seeds, they can harvest more food with less land! What's more, today's Tang Dynasty has few people and many fields, and there are piles of barren fertile land everywhere. As long as you are willing to cultivate, the imperial court doesn't even want taxes!

Wealth? Take a look at the pomp and circumstance of the Royal Bank! There are so many exquisite gold and silver coins circulating in the market, or in a few years, the gold and silver stored in the cellar at home will be exchanged for how many silver coins can be exchanged for it, and it will be up to others.

Network? And the imperial court than this? In the past, officials had some collusion with wealthy families, but now with the existence of Yaowangmen, almost half of the important ministers in the court sent their sons and nephews to Huashan. With this group of disciples as an introduction, what is the use of the family's connections?

Finally, the key is knowledge! All the luck psychology should wake up when you see such a rich collection of books in the Royal Library.

No matter which factor is compared, the Li Tang court already has an overwhelming advantage. If you still have the thought of "the thousand-year-old family will never fall" in the past, I'm afraid that there will be a few days of good life.

For a whole day, the children of the Yuan clan in Jiangnan were completely reduced to dirt buns who had just entered the city, and they felt new when they saw everything. At first, he yelled a few times, so he was warned and criticized by the administrator. Later, I gradually became numb, and I was forced to endure the excitement when I saw everything, and pulled my close brothers to huddle together and muttered about research.

The biggest gain is that I found a few pairs of stickers here, among which the one that made people almost crazy was the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" of the book saint Wang Xizhi.

Yuan Zijie almost knelt down on the spot, this legendary holy relic was so casually placed on the bookshelf!

Xiao Rui couldn't bear to feel that this kid's heart was hit too hard, and explained in a low voice: "This sticker is not the original, but a copy of the library rubbed by secret methods!" ”

Following Xiao Rui's guidance, Yuan Zijie saw the seal: "Royal Library Copy".

"Since it is a copy, can it be ......?"

"Oh, Brother Yuan Shi wants to invite him back?" This level of calligraphy, like the door god, can't say to buy, you have to say please.

Xiao Rui pointed to the nameplate above the position of the word sticker, and a line of small characters was written very clearly: "The word sticker "Orchid Pavilion Preface", the price is five yuan! ”

Five dollars? Silver? That is to say, this pair of calligraphy is worth five times? It's also too ...... It's cheap!
