Han Lao Liu trotted in, and a man in his forties was a little more athletic than a young man in his twenties. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Seeing Zhang Han and Li Shenming standing under the eaves of the courtyard corridor, Han Lao Liu hugged his fists and saluted at the bottom of the steps, and his waist was still straight, and the miner man said loudly: "My subordinates have seen Lord Zhang and Lord Li, I wish the two adults a happy year." ”

"I'll talk about it on the first day of your new year." Zhang Han said with a smile: "I said in advance that the New Year's greetings are not sincere. ”

"My subordinates have taken a large portion of the red envelope, and they can save money for worship." Han Lao Liu deliberately said loudly: "The test was successful, and we started large-scale zinc practice a year ago." ”

"It's a lot more convenient than using calamine, isn't it?"

"That's," Han Lao Liu said: "Zinc is very easy to refine, and brass comes out when it is smelted and cast with copper, and I don't know how much more things are saved than before......

The courtyards around are the offices of the Attendant Division and the Military Orders Division, and the Military Administration Department will be on holiday in the afternoon, only the officials who have not yet moved their families to Qingcheng will pick a part of the duty, and they are originally buoyant, which is why Han Lao Liu shouted so loudly, and many people ran out to see the excitement, pointing and talking about smelting brass.

The thing is obvious, there is such a technology, it is much easier to smelt brass, and with it, of course, the profit rises.

Tian Jitang got out of his hut, and couldn't help but stretch his eyebrows, and his black face looked much more pleasing to the eye.

This time, Lao Tian has forced himself to choke enough, every day in the account books sent by the branch offices in various places to make calculations, from Jingshi to Linqing, and then to the branches in Taiyuan, what kind of social drinking expenses have been cut down by him, and the calculation adds up to less than 100,000 silver, it is estimated that there will be complaints, but these expenses are the scale when Yusheng first opened the market, with the current status of the rivers and lakes and the situation that the market has been opened, this silver can indeed be saved.

However, no matter how you look for it, it is difficult to find more than 1,000 taels of silver dust, the military department is close at hand, the army's finances are very transparent, it is not production, how much silver is allocated from the financial side, and it is clear how much to spend and how much to use, Tian Jitang does not dare to drastically reduce the use of the army, although it seems that there is also a waste, but Zhang Han repeatedly explained that the soldiers are fighting for life and death in the bitter cold land of the extreme north, and the canned food of saving a thousand taels of silver will definitely outweigh the loss.

Hearing Han Laoliu's words, Tian Jitang's face also looked a lot better, the financial estimate is much more accurate than the average person, and the time saved can be at least 400,000 taels of copper ingots, due to the increase in brass production, it is not necessary for the military department to cast money for sale, it can be cast into bronze for sale, in fact, the price of bronze is higher, and the long-term casting of bronze is regulated, the copper money of the imperial court is insufficient, of course, the folk casting of bronze will not be encouraged, the price of bronze in the Ming Dynasty remains high, it used to be because He Yusheng also had to cast money, If the production of copper can be greatly increased, the profit of casting bronze objects will definitely be higher than copper coins.

It may be that casting bronze elsewhere will increase the cost and time, but it is too convenient to have too many high-level craftsmen in the hands of He Yusheng.

If you add the profits of the bronze ware, it can be at least 200,000 taels more......

The winter sun shone on his face, Tian Jitang squinted, and suddenly felt happy.

Entering the gate, Tian Jitang also bowed his hand to Zhang Han and smiled: "My subordinates also greet your Excellency in advance, and of course, the greetings on the first day of the new year will definitely be offered." He then continued: "On the first day of the new year, my subordinates may not be able to catch up. ”

Zhang Han smiled and nodded, seeing that the treasurer, who had always had a black face, looked in a good mood, and obviously confirmed the good news of the copper mine.

A large number of prisoners were also used in the copper mines, and the savings in wages and expenses in a year or two were not small.

"Master Sun is here!"

At this moment, a sharp-eyed servant shouted.

Everyone looked out of the door, and sure enough, they saw that Sun Jingting had just dismounted from the horse tethering stone outside the gate, and he was tying the horse himself.

Zhang Han's eyes are hot, this half of the eldest brother is such a temper, when he was in the mine, he was a straight temper who was uneven, and today, his status is far from being comparable to that of the year, but his temper is still the same as it was back then, Geng Jie is upright, clear as water, the most important thing is to be loyal to official business, so hurried to run over, there must still be business on him.

"Whoever can enter the inner house will report it." Zhang Han instructed: "Let the inner house know that Sun Sizheng is back, and make some preparations as soon as possible." ”

Sun Jingting came to Qingcheng, Zhang Han must also ask him to come to the inner house for a banquet, in the inner house can not talk much about business, only say some homely words, of course Yu Niang will also accompany him, although Sun Jingting and Yu Niang are only cousins, but they also grew up together since childhood, and the relationship with their brothers and sisters is generally the same.

"That seems to be Uncle Chang?"

"That's right."

"It's the constant situation that is back."

Everyone's faces showed joy, and now Zhang Han and Li Shenming also had to walk out of the eaves of the corridor and face the main entrance.

There is one more person who enters the inner house to report the news, and it is obvious that the scale of tonight's banquet must be adjusted accordingly.

"I've seen Lord Taishan."

Zhang Han bowed his hand, bowed down, and was very respectful in etiquette.

Li Shenming was the same, bowed down and said, "I've seen my uncle." ”

Li Shenming and Zhang Han are brothers, Chang Jinquan and Chang Jin have two brothers, and of course he is also called uncle.

"Wenlan, follow the road, don't be so polite." Chang Jinyou still looked a little restrained and uncomfortable, and after he returned for a while, he said to Zhang Han: "This time I came back with Xiaozheng, in addition to the New Year, there is still an important matter." ”

"How can there be an old Taishan who talks directly about business when he sees his son-in-law." Li Shenming smiled and said to Sun Jingting: "Is it a matter of brass?" Han Lao Liu has already come to say that the large-scale experiment has been successful, which is indeed a great thing. ”

"That's not it." Sun Jingting pointed to the middle-aged man beside him who had just tied up the horse, and said, "This Brother Song, do you still know it?" ”

When Li Shenming was frowning, Zhang Han said: "The deputy director of the Technical Research Institute of the Miscellaneous Bureau, Brother Song Changgeng, isn't it?" ”

Song Yingxing took a march, clenched his fists and leaned over, and said: "My subordinate Song Yingxing wishes my lord a safe day, but I didn't expect that my lord really remembered the name of his subordinate." ”

"I still remember that you are from Jiangxi, and both brothers are lifters, and this time the alloy copper smelting technology is also the credit of your brothers." Zhang Han said in an encouraging tone: "It seems that Brother Xiaozheng brought the elder brother to me in person, in fact, I originally planned to summon your brothers to come over after the beginning of spring, but now in this weather, it is still too hard to hurry." ”

Song Yingxing and Sun Jingting both took a carriage to the military station to change horses, a total of several miles away, before they all came by car, there were stoves and snacks in the car, not hard at all, people who have taken the exam from Jiangxi to Beijing, even if this is the pain of traveling? In this era, there is a sedan chair from Jiangxi, no sedan chair to sit in a car, or ride a horse and a mule, along the way to eat and sleep in the open, but also to be careful of bandits and bandits, water and soil are not adapted, the diet is unrestrained, there is no hot water at any time to get dysentery and other emergencies, it can be said that this era is thousands of miles away from the hometown are bold people or forced to do so, from Datong Lizhuang to Qingcheng is only six or seven hundred miles away, all the way is a flat grassland, there is no hard work to take a car.

However, Song Yingxing would not be stupid enough to say such a thing, and he just had a subtle smile on his face at the moment.

Sun Jingting was already impatient, and he grabbed the words: "Can you not take it for granted!" This time, I brought Song Changgeng over, mainly because of a new technical idea, if it happens, I will add at least 400,000 net profits next year! ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Li Shenming said: "Hurry up and say, don't sell Guanzi!" ”

Chang Jinyou had already taken out the drawings and handed them to Zhang Han.

The crowd gathered in a circle, and many people couldn't get closer, anxious like ants on a hot pot.

"Good idea, good design...... Zhang Han looked at a quarter of an hour to understand, this kind of hydraulic transmission power design, mainly depends on the inspiration of the rotation of the clock gear, he has no concept of hydraulic loom, and thought that the current Britain has it, in fact, the hydraulic loom will not appear in nearly a hundred years, but it does not prevent Zhang Han from understanding the subtlety of this design drawing, in fact, the first hydraulic loom is such an idea, hydraulic drive gears, gears drive spindles, yarn bloom according to the designed circuit spinning yarn.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

If it weren't for the image of scruples, Zhang Han would almost have jumped.

Next year's extra income of hundreds of thousands of silver is just a small matter, the recent mainstream of the various departments of the military department is to "find silver", and even in the army, there are high-level people who have proposed to be as frugal as possible, not to have unnecessary waste, this matter is the most important thing to the military judge advocate general, of course, it has not received clear support, originally the military law department has been reviewing expenses in the army, in fact, excessive waste is unlikely.

Zhang Han is concerned about the income after that, the grassland is not short of large pieces of land, in the later generations of Inner Mongolia on the territory of of course, there are a large number of herdsmen grazing, but there are also quite a lot of cities and farming areas, in fact, the agricultural area occupies too much land, the damage to the natural environment is also very serious, and later had to carry out a large-scale "return of farmland to grazing" and "return of farmland to forest", you can imagine how much arable land has been reclaimed in the pastoral area of Inner Mongolia.

With the abundance of manpower, equipment and materials are sufficient, maybe a few years later, a year's income of cotton is calculated in tens of millions of catties, ten million catties of lint is two or three million pieces of cloth, enough to squeeze out Songjiang cloth, Shandong cloth squeezed across, if the entire northern market is snatched down, with a population of at least 80 million to 100 million in the north, at least three or four million horses or even more cloth will be consumed a year, although not everyone will make new clothes every year, but the wear rate of clothes is very high, with the change of height and body shape, you have to make new ones, Wealthier families would make a lot of clothes, and the amount of cloth consumed was staggering.

With a sales volume of 34 million pieces of cloth a year, the average income of five yuan is also a net income of 1.5 million, not to mention that after monopolizing the market, it will definitely be more than an average income of five dollars per horse.

The income of 1.5 million to 2 million a year is equivalent to an increase of one-third or more in the income of He Yusheng now, how can Zhang Han not be excited!
