Chapter 235: Things Turn

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

It was the first time for several ancient men to watch this kind of live-action clip, and it was full of fun for a while, and the investment value was really incomprehensible.

It was probably because of the substitutional association while observing, one by one they couldn't even breathe, and looking at the red face and hot ears, Xiao Lu laughed secretly in his heart.

Zi said, the color of the food is also, honestly! As for Zi Yue's other people, Lu Yijian was very pitiful when he could remember, and he probably felt that there was no need to waste his brain storage space for this.

A video was played out quickly, and it seemed to work perfectly. At least it shortened the distance between everyone at once, and they all felt that this was a huge secret sharing, and they immediately felt a lot closer.

Lu Yijian naturally wanted to admonish him, and if he had read it, he would have seen it, but those of you here must not make a public statement, well, well, the five of them all understood it, and they didn't mention it again and again.

Xiao Lu strictly controlled the rhythm of tonight, and it was still a ridiculous moment, and suddenly switched to the serious topic, back to the point, and the topic returned to the plate armor and ironclad chariot.

Xiao Lu's original idea was that in view of the fact that there must be no drama in the Mao Special Zone plan, but no drama in the Special Economic Zone does not mean that there is no drama in the Great Song Dynasty, Mao Gengwei's group of 21st century people can clearly distinguish the pros and cons, but the Great Song Dynasty may not be able to figure out the Tao in it, so the project is still promising.

The people here today seem to be very influential, among which Guo Ni and Wu Xi represent the opinions of the young Zhuang faction in the army, Guo Zhuo represents the imperial court, Su Shidan also has a good influence as Han Yanxuan's staff, and as for Liu Guo, he can completely contribute to the situation in the media, so I have to make my words a little clearer tonight.

Although the Mao Group is growing amazingly, after all, it is starting from scratch, and it is still in the growth period, compared to Zhao Yan's accumulation for many years, the copper coins in the treasury that were originally intended for the Northern Expedition are piled up, at least millions of yuan, and it is said that the rope used to string the money has rotted. In the eyes of Lao Qiu and Xiao Lu, those money are idle, it is better to use it to show projects, the plate armor project is very good, the plate armor is a combination of "beauty" and "strength", it should really become the standard armor of the Song Dynasty ace army, at least it can promote domestic demand! Lu Yijian went one step further, hoping that even the project of ironclad chariot would be successful.

Lu Yijian felt that the number jù was the most convincing, so he wrenched his fingers and said:

"Please settle the accounts, Taiwan and Xia Yi Island have helped the imperial court to raise and digest 20,000 Xiang Army, and then at least 30,000 Xiang Army can be digested, and the imperial court will raise less Xiang Army, so it will save a lot of money! Raising a forbidden army for a year is 2oo runs, a box army is almost eighty runs, 20,000 box armies, a year will save 16o runs, the most expensive armor 4o runs, even if the cost of plate armor is doubled, that is, eighty runs, 20,000 box troops save money and grain a year is enough to make 20,000 pairs of good plate armor. This is still the money and grain saved by 20,000 troops in a year, and if you do the math, 50,000 people, five years, how much food can be saved! Not to mention plate armor, even if you build that ironclad chariot, it is more than enough. ”

Of course, the people here know that the cost of raising soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty is high, and the taxes of the Great Song Dynasty are mainly used to raise soldiers, and military expenses account for more than 7o% of the taxes, and the annual military expenditure is at least sixty or seventy million. You must know that raising a soldier in the Great Song Dynasty is to eat and live, what is the concept of shelter? Bao is not only Bao Dabing alone, it is the accommodation of Bao Da Song Bing's family, the cost of raising a box army soldier for a year is 80 guan, 10,000 people is 800,000 guan, and the box army of the Great Song Dynasty is basically a lifelong occupation, even if it is less than five years, the money saved by 50,000 people in five years is 2ooo million, which is really an astronomical amount.

I don't know if it's enough to build a tank for 2,000 runs, you can't build a gasoline engine and diesel engine tank, you can't build a steam tank, anyway, a steam tank has been built in history, and even a steam fire-breathing tank has been made. With the consistent purchasing power of this era, ten guan can buy a brick house of about ten square meters, which seems to be equivalent to tens of millions of yuan in later generations, so it is estimated that a thousand guan can build a tank.

Listening to the people here, yes, this year, more than a year the Xiangjun army has been transferred on the spot in Taiwan and Xia Yi Island, and the imperial court has saved a lot of silver, which is just in the direction of elite soldiers.

Wu Xizu is a famous general of the Great Song Dynasty, of course, he knows that the Great Song Dynasty raising the box army is just a means to accommodate the hungry people and prevent the people from revolting, and the war does not depend on the box army at all, and the people who can fight are still a small number of elite soldiers, and the elite soldiers who can really fight are about 100,000.

But can eighty guan really make that kind of plate armor?

"Qi An, what kind of enamel do you say on this plate armor, it is strong and good-looking, I don't know how much this enamel costs, this whole iron armor, to make this difficult shape one by one, it must cost a lot, Qi An, I didn't drink too much today, if you tell me that this plate armor will cost two hundred times, I don't doubt it."

When Liu Guo heard this, he said:

"The eighty guan that Qi An said must be good, isn't Ha Tang Guo able to make this kind of plate armor a long time ago! Some tricks may not be known to us, and maybe not eighty times! Recently, I have been carefully reading the new work written by Chen Liang, no, it is a new work written by Chen Liang and Long Jiu, which is written about self-propelled iron ships on the sea, and flying iron birds in the sky. ”

Hehe, the advertising words of later generations actually came from Liu Guo's mouth today, and it is worthy of relying on the pen to eat, Xiao Lu held back a smile and said seriously:

"If the imperial court is willing to bid eighty times to buy plate armor, forgive Lu for saying arrogantly, which can still earn more than ten times, if a few people believe me, it is also very profitable to invest in the plate armor together, or follow the example of mining Yongping copper mine, the imperial court holdings, you guys take me Lu to buy shares together, first build plate armor, and then build iron armor chariots, how about it?"

Lu Yijian had already calculated the cost with Lao Qiu before, to reduce the cost, of course, you can't use the method of hand-building, if you build it by hand, it is estimated that it will really cost one or two hundred tubes, but if all the plate components are stamped and formed with molds, the cost can plummet.

As for the enamel technology, the technical content is not high, in the early nineteenth century, Europe made a cast iron enamel, in the middle of the nineteenth century, the steel plate enamel technology was basically mature, it can be seen that there is no technical difficulty. You must know that Europe has never been able to find a trick in the technology of firing ceramics, and it was not until the eighteenth century that real ceramics were fired in Europe. In China, firing ceramics and ceramic glazing to the Great Song Dynasty has long been a cabbage technology, Xiao Lu is convinced, only need a little reminder, the ceramic practitioners of the Great Song Dynasty can drum up enamel products.

The material is a low-carbon steel plate, Mao's Group has produced it, the price is quite high, but the cost of materials is only 12 times, in fact, wrought iron plates are OK, Mao's Group's rolled wrought iron plate is relatively cheaper, the material is not enough to pay for seven times, as for the press and mold, count the fixed assets investment, slowly amortized, the output is over 10,000, a pair of plate armor amortization is amazing, plus labor costs or something, it is estimated that the cost of wrought iron enamel plate armor is within 22 times, The cost of low-carbon steel enamel plate armor will not exceed thirty times.

In this way, even if the transaction is sold at the current most expensive armor price of the Great Song Dynasty at 40 yuan, it will be at least more than 10 yuan profitable.

Lu Yi said in his heart, if he could escape the battlefield and become an industrialist, it would be best for him to become an industrialist. Then he produced plate armor and ironclad chariots, and it was much better to be an arms king than a general who would sacrifice his life to gamble on tomorrow.

Considering that after all, it is an arms market, and the investment and procurement of the imperial court are necessary, and then pull some people with background in the Great Song Dynasty to become shareholders, capital and the market are not a problem, technology, Xiao Lu feels that with his knowledge in the 21st century and his bright head, it is not difficult.

Hearing that Xiao Lu further threw out the method of a joint venture between the mining government and the private sector, Wu Xi was the first to be moved, because he was a shareholder of Sanlu makeup powder and made a fortune overnight, which made Wu Xi's gambling rise again. Su Shidan also felt that his mastermind Han Yanxuan seemed to be participating in the shares, and Guo Ni naturally had the idea of getting a piece of the pie, but after all, the matter of choosing plate armor in the Great Song Army was not a word!

Only Liu Guo has no capital, but he is most keen on the great cause of the Northern Expedition, and he is very respectful of the plate armor project that is both powerful and protective, and immediately said that he would push this project, of course, he did not forget the ironclad chariot, Liu Guo even thought, whether he also invited Lu Yijian to co-write a popular science fiction novel, which focuses on the ironclad chariot, and it is estimated that it will be of great benefit to the early creation of the ironclad chariot.

The most important thing in this matter is that the court must be willing, so everyone present unanimously agreed that Tongguò himself would open up the joints of the imperial court, and then get a piece of the pie, or just based on the ideals of the Northern Expedition, Liu Guo is such a person, in order to realize his dream, Liu Guo is ready to contribute, and he is the only one who has no interest appeal, and it is commendable to say that Wenqing and angry youth are both young and angry.

After two days, Mao Geng's ears were full of chattering voices stating the benefits of plate armor.

Originally, Mao Geng had already explained to Zhao Luan that it was better to make plate armor than to make fish scale armor, although the plate armor was beautiful and powerful, but it was difficult to manufacture, the investment was large, and the actual effect on the battlefield was not necessarily very good. Zhao Lian has always respected Mao Geng before, but this time, even Zhu Xi also admired the plate armor, which played a role in Zhao Luan, and Su Shidan's tendency obviously affected Han Yanxuan, Han Yanxuan was also keen to promote the plate armor project on the ground, Zhao Lian felt that the fish scale armor and the plate armor had their own merits, so he summoned Mao Geng and said solemnly:

"Mao Geng, I heard that plate armor is popular in Hatang Kingdom, I also read this plate armor, it is really good, even Zhu Xi praised that plate armor. I don't think it's as good as this, fish scale armor is also made, plate armor is also made, if you consider that the cost of plate armor is too high, it is nothing more than to make less, but in any case, it should be made that my Great Song elite wear plate armor that is both 'beautiful' and 'strong'. ”

"Guogong, the problem is, this plate armor is not only very inconvenient to wear, but also very inconvenient to transport, the plate armor is too much space, a four-wheeled carriage can transport fifty sets of fish scale armor, but I am afraid that even ten sets of plate armor can not be transported, in case of inconvenience in the carriage, if you want to carry the auxiliary soldiers of the van, it is really difficult to carry."

The armor is only put on when the war starts, if the army also wears the armor on the march in peacetime, the body of the soldier will be exhausted, and it will not be able to fight at all on the battlefield, so the armor is only put on when fighting, compared to the convenience of transportation and wearing, the plate armor is too stupid, Mao Geng said in his heart, it will soon enter the era of heat/weapons, the armor is of limited use in front of bullets, and it is necessary to bother to fix this plate armor!

Who knew that Zhao Lian immediately said coldly:

"Mao Geng, I thought you were a sincere person, but who knew that you actually had something to hide from your father!"

"Guogong, you can be clear. What am I hiding? ”

"Fart!"

Mao Gengxin said badly.
