Chapter 857: Silver

Now and Yusheng's copper mine is also using calamine to smelt brass, the technical requirements are very high, if the direct refining of zinc and copper to smelt casting, it will save a lot of time and labor than the previous method, and the cost is of course greatly savved. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This alone is estimated to earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year, and in the four years of the Apocalypse when He Yusheng is facing a large deficit, this is undoubtedly major good news.

Song Yingxing said: "Has Lord Zhang returned to Qingcheng?" ”

Sun Jingting said with a smile: "I guess it's still on the way, I should be back a year ago." ”

"It's hard work, my lord." Song Yingxing said thoughtfully: "There is another idea in the future, if it is completed, it may make Lord Zhang even happier." ”

Sun Jingting had already seen it at this time, and the person in front of him, like Sun Yuanhua, should belong to the kind of "science and engineering nerd" that Zhang Han said. Or a "technical nerd", the latter Sun Jingting barely understands, and the former doesn't quite understand what it means, but if this thing is done in front of him, no matter what kind of nerd he is, Sun Jingting will pay tribute like a baby, as for what the other party said and ideas, it will be even more unexpected.

Time passed quickly, and under the auspices of Han Laoliu, the copper ingots were quickly successfully smelted and condensed.

"Haha, the condition is very good, the process is simple, good, great!"

Han Lao Liu was the first to jump up and announce that the experiment was successful.

Almost the same reaction from everyone present!

The ore reserves in the copper mine are very rich, although now we have to keep digging down and digging deep underground, but the ore reserves are also amazing astronomical, but digging and draining is a very complex technical work, the European copper mine in this year has been dug to hundreds of meters deep, and drainage is also a headache, that is, under the stimulation of copper mine drainage, there will be the earliest prototype of the steam engine in a few decades, and the later steam engine can only move up and down because it is a curved rod movement, that is, it can only move up and down. The machines built are all sent to various mines to pump water, and the depth of the copper mine in Yusheng is not that deep, but the construction of longitudinal shafts is also very labor-intensive, and every time the underground is dug, it will undoubtedly affect the excavation of copper ore.

If the procedure and time can be reduced in the final casting process, there is no doubt that the cost of time and manpower and material resources will be reduced, and this is a very successful experiment.

"Great!" Sun Jingting is undoubtedly the happiest one, unlike what the middle level has learned, Sun Jingting fully knows how deep He Yusheng's financial crisis is, and the more he knows, the more pain he will suffer, which is not false at all.

Zhang Han himself doesn't take this matter very seriously, according to Sun Jingting's understanding, Zhang Han's plan is really not good, next summer and autumn, it is the autumn when the horses are fat, and the cattle and sheep are also fat, the set, Ordos, Karaqin, many tribes can go to rob, hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep war horses are grabbed, and it is a million taels of silver, why worry so much now!

Regarding Zhang Han's attitude, Sun Jingting simply tilted his nose.

"Sixth," Sun Jingting said: "You immediately rush back to the copper mine, first put this method on a large-scale test in the mine, and then after Lord Zhang returns to Qingcheng, you go to Qingcheng to report the matter in person, and in addition, tell your lordship, I will give the patentee Song Yingxing and Song Yingsheng a patent reward of 10,000 taels...... I will make a formal submission, and you will explain the reason for me in person. ”

"Yes, Master Sun."

Han Lao Liu was slightly startled at first, and then understood.

This technology is used in copper mines, saving at least 200,000 yuan a year.

The cost saved is the profit, and the reward of 10,000 is of course a lot, but this is also the style of doing things with Yusheng.

Sun Jingting had already turned his face to the Song family brothers, and said apologetically: "Two, I'm really sorry, but this innovation in the copper mine is not suitable for technical protection and continuous sharing, so I can only give a one-time reward to the two of them." ”

Song Yingsheng originally had a cloth bag in his hand, which contained office utensils such as the four treasures of the study, at this time he was at a loss in his heart, and after hearing Sun Jingting's words, he unconsciously raised his hand, and the entire cloth bag fell to the ground, making a loud bang.

Song Yingxing was able to hold on, and this result was originally expected, but it still gave him a lot of shock, so that he didn't speak for a long time.

"The silver of the two of you will be paid by the military secretary as soon as possible, if you want to send it to your hometown in Jiangxi, this time the military secretary can send someone to help, and you don't have to wait for your guild hall trustee to bring it back."

"I don't dare to do this." Song Yingsheng still understands Heyusheng's system, Jiangxi is too far away from Datong, I don't know what Sun Jingting's intention is when he says such a thing, and his first reaction is to hurry up and be polite.

"Don't be nervous." Sun Jingting smiled and explained: "The military department plans to open up a post transmission route to Fujian, and now it is already underway, and it will start to be tried in the next year, and it is just right to send your things to do a test...... Of course, if you can't send it to the location, we will definitely make up another copy for you. ”

"It's a big deal." Song Yingsheng was quite shocked and said, "How much silver taels does this cost?" ”

"There's a reason for that." Sun Jingting smiled and didn't explain much.

Song Yingsheng nodded in understanding, this matter must involve a level of secrecy, even if he is a middle-level level, he can't report it. In addition, Song Yingsheng and Song Yingxing both signed a two-year agreement, and they can come and go freely after the contract expires, and they are more like guest professors in Heyusheng, with a high status and power, but obviously there is no way to participate in the real core issues.

Song Yingsheng said: "Please allow our brothers to discuss it." ”

Sun Jingting nodded in understanding and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the trial operation of the military division to the south will not start until at least after the New Year, and you should not forget it when the time comes." ”

The two brothers of the Song family both bowed down, and Sun Jingting was very busy, and he had already hurried to the door.

He paused for a moment and said to Song Yingxing: "Shicai said that there is also the idea of a technology patent, what is the direction?" ”

"Spinning machine." Song Yingxing said: "I've been thinking about it recently, but it's only on paper, if you want to conduct actual experiments, I'm afraid you need the support of the military department." ”

"So it's a spinning machine?" Sun Jingting's face showed a look of joy, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Since it is a textile machine, the military department will support it with the greatest strength, whether you want manpower or machinery, or silver taels, as long as it is less than 1,000 taels, you don't need to report it at all, and you can directly receive money from the finance." I'll give you a formal warrant after I'm busy signing back in a while, and I'll keep an eye on it. ”

Feeling the importance of technology and the resoluteness of the higher echelons of Heyu, Song Yingxing showed an extremely complicated look on his face, he bowed, and after getting up, Sun Jingting and the others had already walked away.

……

In the evening, the Song brothers were already sitting in the hall, and in front of them were 10,000 taels of silver piled up like a hill.

Are fifty taels of big silver ingots, and Yusheng himself smelted and cast, the Ming Dynasty is not forbidden to cast silver, all kinds of silver can be cast into big silver or twisted into small broken silver, in the process of trading this melting and grinding trading method will bring about the loss of silver, officials in the tax and collection of miscellaneous taxes to the people to hand over the broken silver melted into silver, so you can add the loss of silver in advance, this kind of fire consumption silver has prevailed for hundreds of years, has been an open source of wealth for officials, the levy of several percent of the fire consumption has not been clearly defined, Leaving the officials themselves in complete charge and complete freedom is of course the root cause of corruption.

Of course, Yusheng's silver ingots do not need to be considered in this regard, the fineness of the silver ingots is very full, and the casters are very exquisite, even on top of the official silver in the warehouse.

Under the lamplight, two hundred large silver ingots were neatly arranged, exuding a silver luster.

In fact, silver tickets can also be given, and even the Song brothers can receive silver dollars if they want, and the number can be increased, but in view of the fact that the two of them will definitely send the silver two back to their hometown, the military secretary is very considerate to reward these big silver ingots.

"Alas, I didn't expect that after reading the books of sages all my life, I would be fascinated by these silvers." Song Yingsheng's face was full of emotion, with his determination as a scholar, he was a person, but he lost his temper because of one or two thousand silver, and even now he is still intoxicated with it, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.

"It's human nature." Song Yingxing said with a smile: "We are not cultivators, we always have to eat fireworks in the world." The great desire of men and women to eat and drink, I agree with Lord Zhang's statement, blindly suppressing nature, hypocrisy and not benefiting the world, so Mr. Daoist is the most hateful. ”

"Master Zhang's statement is a bit like psychology." Song Yingsheng nodded and said, "But I feel more radical than Xinxue." ”

"It's not purely mind-learning." Song Yingxing groaned: "Mind science is now crooked, everything is said at will, and some things are not as good as Taoism." ”

"I'll leave that at that." Song Yingsheng really didn't have the heart to talk to his brother about these mysterious things. Tonight, the silver was delivered, and the military secretary made a lot of fanfare, I don't know how many people watched, and the envy in everyone's eyes and the admiration in their mouths really satisfied Song Yingsheng's self-esteem.

In Jiangxi's hometown, due to the fact that many years can not be in the jinshi, although the people can also be picked up as officials, the county or the county to learn the teachings or the palace officials are the way out of the people, but after repeated attempts, the family has a butt of debts, ordinary people are not qualified to laugh at a man, but those official gentry families in the city, who have been out of the jinshi or also have a family of people, there must be no good words when it comes to the Song brothers, all kinds of ridicule and even ridicule behind the scenes, more or less will reach the ears of the Song brothers. Only those who have experienced this taste will understand the embarrassment and embarrassment.

Otherwise, in the spring of the second year of the Apocalypse, the two brothers should go back to their hometown in Jiangxi directly, instead of being in Beijing, and were finally recruited by He Yusheng.

----------

Recently, I've been adjusting and charging, so the update isn't very powerful, sorry.

I didn't have to be embarrassed to ask for red tickets and monthly passes, but on the last day of the year, I asked for it.

Thank you all for your support over the past year.

Today I remember the lines from a movie from many years ago: 1997 has passed, and I miss it a lot.

At that time, I was still a teenager, watching a movie in the cinema, and laughing heartlessly.

Now I miss it, and I miss every year I have gone, a year that means nothing to time and the universe.

It's just a small moment in billions of years, and for us, a year's time can carry too many things.

We are small and great, because we are a speck of dust to the universe and time, and to ourselves and our families,

We are all to each other.

Thank you for the time, thank you to my relatives, thank you to the editors and my readers, thank you for the departing 2016, and see you all next year.
