Who would dare to say that it is a trick and a trick.

Wang Ju said again: "However, it still has some shortcomings, and on the way back, the minister made a careful observation and found some modifications. With a few more modifications, it's really practical. This time will not be too long, next spring will be enough, if some more modifications are made, after next autumn, it can be promoted in Sanmenxia. ”

Even if there was no battle to destroy Xia, this road was extremely important to the Song Dynasty.

Think about it, because of a Sanmenxia, how much waste is generated in a year between the two places?

Of course, if the pit mines, especially the high-demand carboniferous mines, if they are close to the water's edge, they can also be laid to save transportation costs.

Wang Ju said: "Its appearance will not only bring innovation in all aspects, but the ministers will also hand over all their technology to the imperial court, but they cannot completely let the imperial court preside, so that if the relevant officials do not act, they will not be able to promote it." Therefore, the price can be discounted by 20 million yuan, and half of it can be entered by private individuals, just like the original sugar factory, which can be quickly promoted by the supervision of various private individuals. ”

"So much money?" Fan Chunren said suspiciously.

"If it is promoted, with the scale of our dynasty, how many vehicles do the people need? A fair price, a large one thousand yuan, a medium one hundred to five hundred yuan, a small fifty to a hundred yuan, how much will they cost? Also, there will inevitably be some wear and tear in the future, and there will be replacement and maintenance of parts, and how much can these parts be sold? However, the tens of millions of yuan produced by private individuals were not handed over to the imperial court, and if they wanted to produce, they had to build various huge workshops and arrange various maintenance points, which also required a lot of money. ”

But Wang Ju didn't say a word. This means that the imperial court does not need a penny. Later on, you can reap the benefits.

Not to mention its promotion to the state and the people. Just mentioning this profit is also a huge gift.

"It's just a bit expensive," Cai Qu sighed slightly.

"It's helpless, and the cost of manufacturing it with current technology is still a bit high. However, compared to its output, this price is not too expensive. But with large-scale production, the technology has been further improved, just like kapok. Its price will gradually decrease. Wang Ju said.

The small steam engine he mentioned is equivalent to the amount of water pumped by ordinary water pumps in rural areas in later generations, which is a bit expensive, but at least equivalent to the pumping water of fifty water wheels.

Not only the cost of fifty waterwheels, but also the need for fifty adults to stand where to smoke slowly, so that fifty to one hundred is indeed not expensive. And its cost is really high, just like this kind of pump, although it is still very backward, but it also uses bearings. Even if it's a very backward bearing, just use it. It's impossible to think about low cost.

"This is the third gift of the minister, and the fourth gift is it."

Wang Ju handed Zhao a thick booklet, which was written about the more advanced iron-smelting and steel-making technologies on the other side, including the blast furnace iron-making that Zhang Shangying had seen, and some other metallurgical and casting technologies.

It's not physical, but it's just as important.

In fact, the combination of gunpowder with steam engine, as well as this more advanced metallurgical technology, is also an important revolution for minerals.

In England, as a result of the revolution brought about by the steam engine, coal production rose from 6 million tons in 1770 to 12 million tons in 1800, 57 million tons in 1861, and iron production increased from 50,000 tons in 1770 to 130,000 tons in 1800 and 3,800,000 tons in 1861.

In a small Britain, the production of coal and iron has reached such a huge amount.

Consider the annual iron production of the Song Dynasty, less than 100,000 tons, which surprised many experts.

However, many ministers also had to think about how much the production of the steam engine would add to the Song Dynasty's treasury.

Of course, the Song Dynasty could not have been the case with the first industrial revolution in Europe, because not only the steam engine but also all aspects of technology were being innovated.

But with it, it's completely different from not having it.

Wang Ju began to take out the fifth gift, which was a new type of artillery.

There are only two kinds, one is a large artillery, which is used for large battles or defending cities, and the other is a small artillery, which is easy to carry.

Don't underestimate it, in order to develop it, the other side also burned countless money.

However, unlike the artillery of the Ming Dynasty, the shells it used were all flowering shells, which were more lethal.

And since last year, it has been used on the battlefield on the other side.

Wang Ju asked his subordinates to move out more than 100 straw figures, put armor on them, place them hundreds of meters to more than 1,000 meters away, and stick them deep into the ground.

Then let the subordinates light the shells.

With more than a dozen roars, the straw men in the distance were quickly knocked down, and even the armor on their bodies was pierced by shrapnel holes.

Zhao Jixing rushed over and said happily: "Sharp weapons, sharp weapons." ”

Wang Ju sighed slightly in his heart, although the artillery was available, but the gun was fired, even if he guided it, it was never successfully developed. The main reason is that the firearms control of the Celestial Empire in the previous life was too strict, so he didn't know the specific technology, but just imitated the ordinary shotgun, and then painted the drawings and let the craftsmen develop them. But this kind of shotgun is also a rear-firing rifle, and with the current technology, it is undoubtedly too demanding.

For the current Song Dynasty, there is this sharp weapon, which should be the fifth great gift for Wang Ju.

In the face of these five gifts, Zhao Ji's excited face turned rosy.

Wang Ju has been keeping it secret before, and it has not been made public until now, which is also helpless.

Otherwise, he took it on the other side, and after he came back, he made three more requests, and he didn't even let Zhao Ji drink the wine, think about it, can Zhao Ji be happy in his heart?

However, with these five gifts, I'm afraid that Zhao Ji is forbidden to eat meat, and Zhao Ji will have to agree.

It's actually for Zhao Ji's good, but let him say that if you drink, you may have to see King Yama in two or three years......

An Tao suddenly asked: "Taibao, why is it placed on the other side of the research and development?" ”

Anyway, under these five gifts, Wang Ju named him again, and he will inevitably become a victim. It's better to just make it difficult.

This question is extremely bad.

"An Gong, you know that in order to develop them. How much did it cost? If not placed on the other side. Will the seafarers agree? ”

"Or I ask the court. Before seeing the appearance of the real thing, will the imperial court allow a large amount of money to be allocated for research and development? ”

"Whether R&D can be successful or not is a certain chance, just like prospecting. Even if you are proficient in the geology I am talking about, whoever has the ability to point to a certain place must have some kind of mineral deposit here? ”

"There are many, many technologies developed on the other side, but ninety percent of them have not been successfully developed. If it is placed in the imperial court, it will fail because of these. How many impeachments will I get? ”

"Or ask you, these technologies have been developed, and they have not even been perfected, such as this steam engine, which was immediately handed over to the imperial court, in order to develop them, how many manpower and material resources have been invested on the other side, but have the guests of the seas on the other side asked the imperial court for a penny?"

Wang Ju asked again and again, leaving An Tao speechless.

"Han Gaozu is only a pavilion chief, and at the same time a scoundrel. Xiao He is a little Cao official, and Fan Xu is a butcher. Xia Houying is a horseman, Zhou Chang is a pawn, and although the all-round civil and military Emperor Guangwu was named a descendant of the royal family before his career, he was actually just a master household, one was not an official, and the other was not noble. But these people later became a generation of heroes. Heroes don't ask where they come from, they are the people of the ancestors' family law. Gong An, why do you keep disdaining me, is it because I come from a poor background? Why do you look down on these maritime merchants, are they not faithful enough? ”

"An Tao!" Zhao Ji was also displeased.

This old boy is not a good thing either, he almost misled him just now.

Wang Jufang's research and development on the other side is of course selfish.

But if it is not developed on the other side, can it be successfully developed in the Song Dynasty? That's also impossible.

Even before it was unsuccessful, this astronomical expenditure was announced to stop under the impeachment of everyone.

However, there is one thing that everyone has overlooked, that is, the knowledge and related technologies generated in these research and development.

In less than ten years, the other side will be able to run forward in great strides.

But the Song Dynasty may let Wang Ju destroy the Western Xia ten years later, and they are still fighting back and forth, and they start to step on the same place again.

"Or a few hundred years later, when a new regime emerges, we can learn from the system on the other side." Wang Ju thought in his heart. The actual imperial system, when it reached the height of civilization in the Song Dynasty, was also equivalent to the peak. Therefore, in the later Ming and Qing dynasties, from the institutional point of view, it was not progress, but regression.

An Tao's face turned pale.

Wang Ju didn't pay any attention to him and continued: "Your Majesty, the news of this kind of artillery must be kept secret in order to give the Tangut people a big surprise. ”

"Yes, Zhuqing, you can hear me."

"Whoa." Everyone responded in unison.

Wang Ju said: "The sixth gift is divided into two parts. ”

After he finished speaking, the subordinates beside him took out a small box, Wang Ju opened the box, and there were five kinds of new friends inside.

Not only all the silk is used, but also is printed and dyed on both sides, the difference, that is, the higher the price, the better the silk material used, and at the same time 100 Wen wrapped with gold and silver wire, 80 Wen wrapped with gold wire, 50 Wen wrapped with silver wire.

The patterns are also different.

The obverse pattern of the 100 Wen is the Yellow River planting willow map, many people planted willow trees on the embankment of the Yellow River, which refers to the story of Zhao Kuangyin who ordered to plant trees on both sides of the Yellow River shortly after his accession to the throne, and it is also the first time in history to let the people plant trees in the form of a holy decree, which means that the Song Dynasty has attached importance to people's livelihood since Zhao Kuangyin.

The reverse pattern is the battle of Chuzhou Qingliu Pass, Zhao Kuangyin broke 100,000 with 5,000, and it was also the most glorious in Zhao Kuangyin's life, and a famous battle in history to win more with less.

However, it is impossible to draw all 100,000 people in the pattern, and there are faintly hundreds of soldiers wearing armor facing each other at the gate, and there are three big characters on the gate. Although the drawing is concise, you can tell what the story is at a glance.

The front pattern of the eighty texts is a pattern of the examination room, and Zhao Kuangyin began to pay attention to the imperial examination, but it was Zhao Kuangyi who officially attached importance to the imperial examination.

The reverse pattern is to break through the battle of Taiyuan.

Song Taizong only has this battle to come out, and the rest of the defeat is defeated!

Fifty Wen arrived at Song Zhenzong, and the front pattern is a group of people harvesting Champa rice. Don't underestimate Song Zhenzong because of the alliance of the Yuanyuan, in fact, Song Zhenzong in his early years was really good, but in his later years, although he didn't do anything, there were not many bad incidents, at most, he was able to worship God, how much could it cost?

In history, the emperor personally issued an edict to introduce and promote crops, only Song Zhenzong introduced Champa rice and mung beans, and then went to Zhu Yuanzhang to promote cotton.

The reverse pattern is the battle of Lanyuan, whether this battle is good or bad, or whether Song Zhenzong is willing or not. But he was the emperor who personally went up to the top of the city to watch the battle. It's not easy anymore.

Twenty Wen arrived at Song Renzong. The front pattern is the scene of Dai Xiao crying in the capital, since ancient times, there is no emperor who died normally can cause so much sadness to the people, Tang Taizong can't!

On the contrary, the pattern is the battle of Kunlun Pass.

Shiwen Qian is Song Yingzong, the front is the battle of Dashun City, and the reverse is Zheng Baiqu.

Both of these are related to Wang Ju.

But if it weren't for Wang Ju's show, Zhao Shu couldn't actually show anything good......

In fact, when these ministers saw the ten-penny pattern, they were also not easy to say.

Wang Qi asked puzzledly: "Zi'an." Why is it printed on both sides without dripping? ”

"Prince, you see, this is woven with a new loom, it is not only thick, but also thick, coupled with special printing and dyeing technology, to ensure that it will not be stained. However, the difference is that the silk used is different, such as the silk of ten yuan is used for cheap silk, the silk of twenty yuan is used for Zhejiang silk, and the fifty yuan is used for the best Hebei silk. ”

This is also an undeniable fact.

Lingnan silk can be ripened four times a year. However, the quality is far inferior to that of northern silk.

Otherwise, if you use North Silk to make a silk bottom of ten cents, you may lose money.

"Not easy to imitate?"

"Exactly. Not only silk bases, but also printing and dyeing pigments, there are many pigments that are only produced overseas. Moreover, this kind of printing and dyeing also uses a special machine and a special method of printing and dyeing, so that a clear pattern appears without dripping. ”

"How much does it cost?" Zhao Ji asked worriedly on the side.

Such a silk handover, no need to ask, the cost will undoubtedly be very high.

"If it is manufactured on a large scale, the cost of 10 yuan can only barely keep the cost, the cost of 20 yuan can reach 134 yuan, the cost of 50 yuan can reach more than 20 yuan, the cost of 80 yuan can reach more than 30 yuan, and the cost of 100 yuan can reach more than 50 yuan. If it is an illegal imitation, even if they have the ability to imitate the exact same, because the scale is small and the cost is high, they will definitely lose money. Unless other metals are used instead of gold and silver threads, and the three kinds of Jiaozi are forged, such as 50 Wen, 80 Wen, and 100 Wen, you can make a slight profit. But in that case, although it is not easy for ordinary people to perceive, officials will perceive it. Once the fake silk sex is discovered, the criminal will inevitably be found if the search continues. In fact, even if it is replaced by other metals, it may not be able to be counterfeited successfully, and the machine will promote it in the future, but it is not easy for them to get all the pigments. This minister has instructed the other side to keep it secret, and the minister has returned this time and has brought back the relevant paints. ”

"But the cost is high," Zhao said worriedly.

If this is the case, although it will be immediately recognized by all the people, the cost of making tens of millions or 100 million jiaozi will have to reach more than six or seven percent.

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood, the fact is that as long as it is successfully manufactured, it will be issued as money and silk, and it will be recognized by everyone compared to the original Jiaozi, and even more than copper coins."

Think about how heavy copper coins are, copper coins have always weighed several pounds. But it has always been a money and silk handover, and there are only a few dozen handovers, which is more convenient for the two. And it's so beautiful, and what's more, it's so small, it's bound to be more popular than copper coins.

As for the cost of silk, you can buy it directly from the people with this jiaozi, and the cost of that will come can be made by paying a little advance cost in front of the imperial court.

But Zhao Ji still had some doubts on his face.

Wang Ju understood: "Your Majesty, this is a sample, if you think it is inappropriate, you can also make some modifications, and in order to prevent forgery, when it is officially issued, it will also be stamped with the future banking department and the relevant seals of the Chinese book." ”

In fact, if this kind of Jiaozi is made, I am afraid that within a hundred years, there will be no way for private individuals to imitate it. Even if it is imitation, it will also be very different from real friendship.

Zhao Ji's doubts are not personal, but the other side.

That's why Wang Jucai said so.

If this is the case, those who want to forge should consider it, and the crime of forging Jiaozi is a little less, and forging the seal of the bank department and the Zhongshu is a capital crime.

Although the other side has the relevant technology, it can also not be forged and circulated to the Song Dynasty. If the other side even has to forge the official seal, it is undoubtedly equivalent to a complete break with the inland, through so many good deeds, will the other side have such an idea?

If you still don't feel at ease, everyone will discuss and see what unique technology the Song Dynasty has, and then add it or transform it, then the other side will not be able to forge it.

Saying this, the doubts on Zhao Ji's face were completely dissipated.

Wang Ju said again: "This is one of them, and the other is a group of people. ”

As he spoke, he made another gesture, and more than 200 people walked down from the last boat, and stood by the river after paying homage.

Wang Ju said: "There are several important prerequisites for the establishment of the banking department, sufficient gold and silver as the principal, not easy to forge Jiaozi, a perfect system, including Qi business tax, and relevant skilled talents. Actually, I had this idea in Gyeongju, but because of all this, I didn't try it again after the Gyeongju test. However, after arriving in Quang Nam, I saw all kinds of green seedling methods, and I had the idea of promoting it, so I let the other side experiment on a small scale. It wasn't until the minister went to the other side that he began to promote it on a large scale, and he deliberately cultivated many talents. Now the ministers brought back a large number of talents, and they led the bank officials in the various states and counties to implement the measures of the banks, and they did not return to the other side until many skilled talents appeared in the banks. Taken together, these two are the sixth gift that the minister brought back to His Majesty. ”

Now that Jiaozi has it, there is gold and silver, and the measures have begun to be explored, and even the talents have been brought over, as long as the imperial court officially implements the Qi business tax, the banking department can be formally established.

It can be said that it is a fool's reform, everything is arranged.

"These six gifts...... "Lao Wang muttered, "It's a super gift, Zi'an, you have a heart." ”

Wang Ju said solemnly: "The prince, as a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, is rich and powerful for the Great Song Dynasty, this is a matter of duty, and there is no such thing as intentional or unintentional. However, Your Majesty, and my lords, I would like to state once again that although the business and taxes are all in place, the appearance of these things will make more people rich, and of course, it will also bring more income and taxes to the country. Second, immigrants need no longer be questioned. When I came to Mizhou, Han Yun deliberately inspected last year, and although some areas of Jinghu North Road have undergone a mobilization and migration, there are still some people who drown their own babies because they can't support their children. But on Fujian Road, which was the worst in the past, this ugly phenomenon has almost disappeared. ”

If nothing else, just this one, there is no impeachment of immigration policy!

Wang Ju said again: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that I am a little annoyed that the ministers do not say goodbye, right? (To be continued.) )
