The technology of processing copper in the Ming Dynasty has been the most advanced in this era, and the copper Buddha and copper incense burner that have been handed down in later generations are absolutely ingenious and of high quality. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The white copper invented and produced by Yunnan people is the earliest in the world not only in China, but also in the world, nearly a thousand years earlier, that is, this technology is ahead of the world for a thousand years, which is recognized by the academic circles at home and abroad.

The production of white copper in ancient China has written records dating back to the Han Dynasty, and the white copper produced in Yunnan is also the most famous, called "cloud white copper".

Huang Sheng wants to develop the shipbuilding industry, copper is an indispensable main raw material, because many components of the underwater part of the hull and the propeller must be tinned brass to achieve the technical requirements and corrosion resistance.

After having capital, it will buy a large amount of nickel from Yunnan and Sichuan, and the high-temperature steelmaking furnace built with Huang's unique wind temperature technology will produce nickel white copper.

The quality of such an alloy is a whole grade higher than that of nickel white copper smelted in Yunnan, and the temperature of Yunnan's steelmaking furnace does not exceed 1,400 degrees, while the Huang family's steelmaking furnace has been able to reach more than 1,700 degrees, which can fully integrate copper and nickel into a liquid state.

It's a pity that Li Guozhu implicitly apologized to Huang Sheng and told Huang Sheng that he used almost all the relationships this time, and the inventory in the hands of the Japanese daimyo who had been cooperating with him for a long time was almost exhausted.

I am afraid that there will not be so many brass ingots in the future, and the Tokugawa shogunate of Japan began to control the trade of copper, and did not allow large quantities to flow out of the country at all, and now most of the goods are controlled by their families.

Trade barriers? Huang Sheng scoffed, how easy it is to break! Strength is overwhelming! Where the strong ship and sharp artillery are in hand, others can make irresponsible remarks, and the diplomatic meeting of artillery in a warship will produce immediate results.

Huang Sheng had a plan in his heart, a weak country has no diplomacy, everything depends on strength to speak, and when he is ready to start building an advanced warship equipped with rifled guns, he will come to Edo to have a good chat with Tokugawa Ieyasu about future cooperation.

Huang Sheng politely expressed his gratitude, bid farewell to Li Guozhu, and the fleet set sail and returned home on August 3.

With two more warships that looked more powerful, the journey was even more peaceful, and all the ships that met them fled far away, whether they were pirates or not.

In the vast sea, it is the law of the jungle, the weak eat the strong, and the maritime merchants will turn into pirates who kill people and oversell goods anytime and anywhere!

In this era, there are no maritime conventions and no League of Nations at all, whoever has the big fist is the overlord of the sea!

Huang Sheng is ready to work hard to develop his own sea power, strive to dominate Japan's sea routes first, and wait for a few more advanced warships to continue to forge ahead and strive to become the uncrowned king of the China Sea.

The returning fleet rode the wind and waves day and night, and broke up with the three lucky ships when they entered the waters of Laizhou, and Li Er led the fleet west to Tianjin Wei.

This route is in Liaodong Bay of Daming, there is no possibility of a large number of pirates, Li Er is relieved to go boldly, his No. 2 Fu ship is an armed merchant ship, with twelve four-pounder guns.

After more than four months of hard work by four or five thousand laborers, Huangjiawan Island has already taken on some appearance, and the island is still under construction.

Now that there is silver seized from the pirates, it is even more important to work hard, and the big housekeeper Zhao Rui is also staring here, she has brought many families from Huangjiashan Island to settle down here.

Huang Sheng was accompanied by Zhao Rui to inspect the island, the construction of the lighthouse has been nearing completion, and the landmark building of Huangjiawan Island is also the main navigation beacon in this sea area.

With this lighthouse, all ships entering the waters of Dengzhou and Lushunkou will benefit a lot.

The three large docks built in the bay that took advantage of the natural port will be ready for use by the end of the year, and the advanced main combat ships of the Huang family will be produced and built here in the future.

The new granaries were built two centuries ahead of their time by mixing stone and cement with steel bars, and twenty tall cylindrical granaries had been built.

Each can be more than 5,000 stone of grain, is designed as a discharge funnel type at the bottom of the granary out of grain, loading grain can only be carried through the spiral ladder around the granary, no way to make a conveyor belt in this era.

This way of producing grain is not only convenient and fast, but also conducive to long-term storage of grain, 5,000 stone is actually only about 400 tons, and it is not worth mentioning the bulk silos of tens of thousands of tons in later generations.

In the eyes of everyone on Huangjiawan Island, it is already a magical building, and the twenty silos about five zhang high and ten steps in diameter have become a must-see for families who have just settled here.

This is still the first phase of the project, and the second phase is also preparing to build 20 such grain depots, and there are special wharves here, which can store more than 200,000 stone of grain.

One of the main reasons for the gradual demise of the Ming Dynasty was that due to the extreme climate during the Xiaoice period, many places had no harvest, the imperial court was short of food, and the disaster relief was powerless.

If the official warehouses of the Ming Dynasty can adopt their own more scientific grain depots designed with reference to later generations, they can save at least nearly one percent of the grain from the loss of storage every year.

It's a pity that the interests in the grain storage are too great, and he can't even mention it with his official position, otherwise he will inadvertently offend countless civil and military officials.

Now the only way to choose to manage the two islands of the Huang family is to take the road of building a high wall and accumulating grain to slowly make itself grow and develop.

The spacious and bright factory building and barracks have been completed, and the large auditorium, which can accommodate 1,000 people for dining and meetings, is still in full swing.

Zhao Shimin, Gu San, Gu Shanhai and several other managers still used the last method to give most of the laborers who were Liao people hope to become the Huang family.

All the people who work here are well fed, paid and motivated.

settled in the new home at night, and now the Huang family's financial resources are different, with loose silver, of course Zhao Rui has arranged this home warm and magnificent.

In the backyard house, several beauties talked and laughed and laughed, but unfortunately there was only one master, everyone was vying to serve, and the rough girl couldn't get close to the master's body at all.

He Xiang, Zhao Rui, and Bai Peony served the old man with all hands and feet, and they felt that they were paralyzed in bed, and even the thorny peony flowers squatted down to massage the soles of the old man's feet.

Huang Sheng was depressed and said, "You must not do such a vulgar thing, how expensive are the artist's hands?" How can you abuse yourself so badly? ”

Bai Furong also snatched one of the master's feet and was massaging, she smiled and said: "Master, don't be polite to the slave, I'm afraid our sisters won't be able to enter the master's inner house in the future, so hurry up now!" ”

"Alas! You guys! Is the master really afraid of the eldest lady in the family? ”

Bai Peony giggled and said: "The lord looks like a master who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, the lady of the Huang family is definitely not small from the rules of a famous family, and you must love it like a pearl in your palm, master!" ”

"Okay, don't take the master's words, the Huang family will still have the final say in the future, you will always live in the inner house, okay?"

The two beauties suddenly became shy, and they were a little embarrassed to look at Hexiang and Zhao Rui.

The empathetic Hexiang took the white peony to the left wing room to rest, and only Huang Sheng and Zhao Da Butler were left in the inner room.

"Zhao Rui, those women who rescued from the pirate's den are still left to you, you can pick some people who look pleasing to the eye to stay here and do things, this family is too big, and the popularity is not enough!"

"Yes, sir, the slave knows how to do it. Sir, how did you make so much money this time? ”

He Xiang had already told the chief butler Zhao Rui the amount of silver and treasure hidden on the ship, so that she could make overall arrangements.

"Where can you earn so much! This time, we're in a pirate den, and these are just captures! ”

"Huh? Sir, are you going to war again? Master, now that our Huang family is not short of silver, don't take risks yourself in the future, okay? ”

Looking at the discolored beauty, Huang Sheng was tender for a while, took her into his arms and said: "Good Rui'er, you don't have to worry about the master, I have a count in my heart, let the master see if he has lost weight again." ”

"Master, the slave family has been talking about you, the slave family is listening to you now, and many things have been handed over to the next person to do, and the slave family is still fat!"

"It doesn't seem to be thin, the skin is silky, why is it so slippery here?" The lord's claws began to roam the beauty, and he went to ...... where people were ashamed.

was caressed by the lord for a while, the pretty woman was confused, and she replied shyly and lightly relieved Luo Shang to give her a hug, at this time the best period is like a dream, and the joy of fish and water naturally cannot be expressed .......
