took one of them, and Bai Minghe was overjoyed in his heart.

The king of Shu asked for a pen and paper to list the terms. The first of them is that the white crane guarantees the income of 700,000 taels, which must be written in black and white, and it must be printed. Don't want the official seal, but the private seal of the white crane, plus the seal of the Ming silver number, even if it is the Nanjing branch. It's a guarantee.

Then, he added that if there is any other craft, Bai Minghe will also be responsible for exchanging it for silver.

The king of Shu knows very well that his brothers are also idle, too idle.

Especially his second brother, who fiddled with a windmill and could grind noodles without manpower. It is estimated that this thing can also be exchanged for silver, even if it is less, it is not silver.

"Uncle Wang, anything can be recognized by the Xingshou Academy. You can also buy a directory from the head of the house, and there will be a new directory every three months. This includes an introduction to a new craft and a projection of demand for a craft over the next two years. Yesterday, I read one of the lists, and there is one of them, Uncle Lu is going to make a fortune. ”

The white crane pulled another prince out.

The King of Shu became interested: "How do you say it?" ”

"Uncle Lu loves fireworks, so he has a deep study of gunpowder. This fireworks are not worth much, and they can have hundreds of thousands of taels a year. But what if there is really a high explosive energy, what about gunpowder for artillery? At the moment, how far can Daming's artillery hit, and add three percent of the distance? Also, fireworks will explode after they go up to the sky, so can the cannonballs explode? That's it, I dare to throw in a hundred stones, two hundred stones, or even five hundred stones of gold. One year, two years, five years, ten years. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Minghe said again: "Whatever King Qin likes, he likes books." If you can study history thoroughly, it is also silver to print it into a book, and compile a dictionary. A new classic of arithmetic. Even if 100,000 copies of the book are printed, it will be silver this year. Let's just say that it is an agricultural economy, and if it is done well, it is also silver. ”

The King of Shu understood.

The white crane is very clever in this hand.

The clan cannot engage in politics or business. But they are all idle, and when they are idle, they come up with all kinds of flowers in order to pass the time.

said that he likes to fiddle with paper and ink, but he is also bored and bored. Just to pass the time.

But right now, the white crane wants to turn this kind of amusement into silver. And looking at the meaning of the white crane, not only can the craftsmanship be sold to various workshops. You can also build a workshop by yourself, in the name of research, and you can also have an extra income if you make things, and this process is improved, and you can't do it without a workshop.

It does not violate the ancestral system, but also solves the current problem, and there is more silver than before.

Feasible!

The King of Shu has been persuaded by Bai Minghe: "Show Uncle the rules of your craft." ”

Bai Minghe has long been prepared, a thick patent law. There are copies of the approval documents of Dongchang, Jinyiwei and Sanfa Division. Suffice it to prove. This thing is the officially accepted rule.

When I opened it, the king of Shu was blinded. The book in his hand turned out to be a catalog, but Bai Minghe patted the small box next to him, and it was full of a box. The King of Shu understood, and the white-named crane had written all the rules that he could think of and couldn't think of. Look at the catalogue to clearly distinguish, daily miscellaneous equipment, civilian equipment, military, agricultural ......

On this, there are also points for the prescription of the exclusive secret recipe. It's just that the rules don't follow the divide. It's a lump sum payment.

This is the smallest rule, as well as the craftsmanship of making combs. Ten combs cost a penny of craftsmanship. It seems that this thing is really a rule, and paper and ink are classified as important weapons of the country.

This paper alone is divided into the benefits of quality technology, cost technology, and production technology. Finally, there is the benefit of wastewater treatment technology. and the standard of confiscation of sewage contaminating the river.

The King of Shu sat here, and this look was that two hours had passed.

The prince outside is waiting in a hurry, the longer this is inside. The more it can prove that the king of Shu was fooled by the white-named crane.

It's dinner time, but the princes can't eat at all.

Finally, the King of Shu returned. The attendant behind him carried a wooden box, and the one tied with rope was tight. And there were two guards on either side. It feels like this is a box of jewelry, otherwise how could it be so important.

As soon as the king of Shu entered the tent, he laughed. He bowed his hand to King Lu: "Brother King Lu, you have made a fortune." I'm just a little bit of money, and you're definitely very rich. Hahaha! "Looking at the strength of King Shu, everyone is confused. How can I be so happy to see the white crane come back once, is it really to go in and divide the silver?

"Mo Xiao, didn't you come back with a box of gold?"

"There are only so many in this box, Bai Minghe promised me forty-eight stones of gold a year, and it is estimated that there will be at least one hundred stones for Brother Lu. I will also give another 100 stones, Brother Lu, to do some of your favorite favorites, and I guarantee that you will have money and fun. "The King of Shu is already a little incoherent.

Under King Lu's repeated questioning, the King of Shu explained it clearly.

King Lu silently calculated in his heart, what the King of Shu said was not wrong, according to his bamboo paper and bamboo ink, there was an income of 700,000 taels, and he really had a method of flowering cannonballs in his hand, and he had also tried to use it. According to the current momentum of the white crane fighting everywhere, especially at sea, he needs this kind of powerful artillery, and he can definitely give it two hundred stone of gold.

"Come on, hurry back to the palace. Put the king's ......" King Lu immediately called his cronies and explained in a low voice.

King Lu's eyes were excited, and King Shu patted a few sycophants on the side.

In the attic, Wang Cheng stood beside Bai Minghe and told Bai Minghe the news that King Lu had sent people back to Shandong.

"Wang Cheng, you said that King Lu's gunpowder is really good?"

"I once sent someone to steal some out. I tried it in the fire system, and the range was two percent higher. But Fang Zi didn't know, and the Emperor Taishang had ordered in the fifth year of orthodoxy that the world was already peaceful, and the Ministry of Industry no longer needed to study artillery gunpowder, so no one ordered Fang Zi to do so. But it's really a good thing. ”

Dongchang originally went to steal gunpowder, just because he was afraid that King Lu would have other thoughts.

The focus is not on gunpowder, but on understanding what King Lu is doing.

Bai Minghe said: "If you can really increase the power by 20%, how much do you think it is worth?" ”

"It's hard to say the price. The formula of gunpowder has been finalized, and the Ministry of Industry has not grown it for several years, and the amount of silver spent is not more than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so it is really given a hundred stones and two hundred stones, as long as the thing can be used. In the future, the sea will be a sharp weapon, and if there are really cannonballs that can be exploded, it will be of great use against the tile spur cavalry. ”

Wang Cheng kept talking on the side.

"There are many standards for the identification of this gunpowder. In general, the medicine should be strong, easy to keep, and easy to transport. What's more, don't blow up the boring. ”

"Prepare the silver ticket. It is estimated that King Lu will send someone on the ship now, and he will be able to bring things within ten days. Pick some people and have a good test. If it can be mass-produced, give a big price. But the silver was divided into two, one was the annual handicraft money, and the other was the silver invested in his further research. ”

After listening to Bai Minghe's instructions, Wang Cheng immediately went down to make arrangements.

Outside the tent, there are people who are happy and some who are sad.

Joy naturally found in that box of lists, and the truly outstanding craftsmanship that could be exchanged for silver.

Among the clans of the Ming Dynasty, there are also some clans that have nothing to do all day and only know how to consume their lives by fighting chickens and dogs. Right now, they really want to make things happen again, and talk to Bai Minghe in another way.

But since the white crane used this trick, it was naturally calculated.

The number of princes of the Ming Dynasty is limited, twenty-six sons in the Taizu period, after these four generations, some of them were removed for various reasons, and some lost their lives when Chengzu was against Jianwen. There is also no queen, and there are less than twenty genuine princes left behind.

These people are well-educated, and naturally they are not spending their lives in vain.

The most brilliant thing is that King Qin is very knowledgeable, and King Lu is really good at artillery, not fireworks. The king of Shu was good at calligraphy and painting, and then turned into paper and ink. The name of the King of Jin is very strange, and there is a huge blacksmith furnace group in the backyard of his palace. Among them, the most talented is the King of Liao, when the previous generation of Liao King went to the West under the Three Treasure Eunuchs, thirty percent of the design of the lucky ship was from his hand.

I like to build ships, and at present, in the house of King Liao, a one-foot-long ship model can be placed in a room.

King Zhou of Henan doesn't seem to have great skills, but he likes fruit trees, and he can make such complex things as hybrid fruit trees come out, you must know that persimmon trees can't grow sweet persimmons without grafting. However, this favorite is the jujube tree, and the jujube tree in his palace has basically become a tribute every year except for his own use.

The white crane can find a direction for them to study in each prince-level.

Even if it doesn't exist at the moment, Bai Minghe has also let Dongchang understand it in detail, and it can also create a research direction.

At least those auxiliary lieutenants and other gentlemen, Bai Minghe won't care. Naturally, they will not starve to death, and they will certainly not be fed. There is no difference, how can people feel superior.

Only the poverty of the same clan can show the wealth of other clans.

What does it mean to just compare ordinary people.

"Collect the tents, and you all go back to live." The King of Shu was the first to break up the alliance of kings, and then the King of Lu also supported him: "The rest of the people will go back, this king will stay in the White Horse Pavilion today, and he will have a good chat with Bai Minghe, the junior." ”

The King of Shu didn't plan to go back, he also wanted to have a good chat with Bai Minghe.

Several princes wanted to have a good talk with Bai Minghe, because they all had things in their hands that were worth studying again.

Just like the King of Liao, he likes to build ships, but shipbuilding is not only hard, but also takes a long time, and the most important thing is to spend a lot of money. To build a large ship of 1,500 materials, the wages alone cost about 400 taels of silver, not counting the cost of materials and the cost of the dockyard.

At present, the price of wages has risen sharply, and I am afraid that without five hundred taels of silver, even the wages are not enough.

Several princes want to enter the mansion, who dares to stop them.

I had to send someone to inform the white crane. (To be continued......)
