Chapter III: Establishing a Reserve (17)

"It's only 400,000, don't laugh at it. n ∈ top n ∈ ∈ little n ∈ said, "Ding Yi laughed slightly mockingly, yes, it was mockery, because he was a little difficult to speak, and when he opened his mouth, it was not easy to break, so he could only mock. Because of the donations sent by Portugal, Korea, the Wa Kingdom, Egypt, and Israel, the donations sent by the Jews, and these war dividends alone were distributed to the royal family, which was much less than the national treasury, but it was already a huge amount!

What's more, Liu Yiyi has led the royal family to do a lot of business over the years, and the profits have also flowed into the royal family, of course, there is a relationship between mutual use, for example, if there is no name of the royal family, there is no spokesperson for the queen of money, when meeting with the wife, she specializes in the praise of cement concrete structures and large transparent glass windows, cement and glass, and will not be so popular in the middle and upper classes of the Ming Dynasty; Not to mention the greasy purchase of the royal family, which made many yamen everywhere consciously shrink their hands.

But all in all, the royal family is rich now, and what the queen can take out is definitely more than 400,000 taels.

"The quality of concrete is not very good, and the production process of cement needs to be improved; If you want to engage in rail steel, you have to purchase a large number of iron rough stones to transport to Liangguang, if the Ministry of Industry can't clean up, it will be very troublesome, what kind of output is falling now, how about the pass rate, Niangniang must have heard of it, and then go on like this, I'm afraid it will be the result of the Ming Royal Dart Bureau. Ding Yi only mentioned one sentence about investment, and then changed his mind and talked about the problem of the Ministry of Industry.

The Daming Royal Dart Bureau originally did a good job in Liu Yiyi's hands, and it was also an extremely profitable job, but Ding Yi returned to Rongcheng to study and prepare for the exam in order to resign. avoided suspicion and gave all the shares to the palace, and as a result, the eunuchs and nobles in the palace. I forced this day to make money, hang the royal title, and the only express delivery industry in the Ming Dynasty, and close the door.

None of them. If you can get the door closed, first of all, you have a share of the edges, and you want to scrape some of them; If it was just scraping oil and water, those nobles and eunuchs were not doing business at all, and they did not regard the guests of the support pieces and darts as customers, but regarded themselves as masters and relied on the official family. I really want to charge as much freight as you want, send things out, only God knows when it will arrive, and if it is lost after sending it, then don't expect to lose, if it is gone, the main thing is to ask a few more words, and to threaten to arrest people and go to prison, so get it for a few months. Who would dare to send something?

After surviving for about a year, the nobles in the palace found out that they were always losing money and wanted to check the accounts, but they found that they couldn't check it.

Because of the oil and water, stealing the mail, and charging the freight indiscriminately. These nobles or the people below them all have a share, so they can't check themselves by themselves, right? So they split up. The properties of the royal dart bureau in various places were sold, and the nobles in the palace divided the last money according to their shares. This Ming royal dart game has become a historical term.

Queen Qian was said so by Ding Yi. The pink face is also red, because on the side of the Ministry of Industry, she pays attention to her relatives, but her father and brother have not been placed in the Ministry of Industry, and the officials who cling to her father and brother are not necessarily absent! What a lump of oil and water!

"I heard that Xuanda and Yungui would rather buy guns and ammunition from the Rongcheng Factory, rather than install the rifles produced by the Ministry of Industry, Niangniang, if it goes on like this, let alone the rails used for the railway, I am afraid that in less than a year, the Ministry of Industry will have to close again!" Ding Yi was also extremely sad to say.

Because up to now, whether it is Xuanda Border Town, Yunnan and Guizhou, not to mention Liangguang, all of them refuse to order guns and ammunition from the Ministry of Industry, except for artillery, Ding Yi ordered at that time to leave all the technology, but for every hundred Sui Rifle produced, or ten rifles, or two grenadier * barrels, or a hand-cranked machine gun, or a thousand rounds of cartridge bullets, one or two silver patent fees must be paid to Ding Yi's side; For every ten mortar* shells produced, or a mortar* gun, Ding Yi was paid a royalty of twenty taels of silver, and the patent term was one hundred years.

This is a decree signed by the cabinet after the ministerial meeting, and it is not a private agreement.

The main reason for the artillery is that the technical difficulty is too high, and Ding Yi can't trust the officials of the Ministry of Industry, so he doesn't leave this technology.

Luckily, I didn't stay.

Why are border towns reluctant to carry rifles? Cartridge rifles! There's rifling! Although it is still black * gunpowder, how much faster is the rate of fire?

Not to mention such sharp weapons as mortars, hand-cranked machine guns, grenadiers!

But Xuanda and Yungui's side, after starting to try to purchase a small batch, they were ready to change clothes on a large scale, and as a result, they sent military generals to Guangzhou Mansion to negotiate, and those military generals listened to the rumors and proposed to purchase a small batch of samples.

Because it's going to blow up! A rifle that explodes after three or five rounds, a rifled rifle is more inaccurate than an unrifled rifle, who dares to use it? Mortar * guns are also blown up, they get stuck when they are put down, and the delay fuse explodes at the end, and the same goes for grenadiers;

As for the machine gun, don't say it, Ding Yilong's hand-cranked machine gun is different from the original Gatling, except that there is no electric drive, the entire ammunition supply mechanism is the internal organs of the modern M*134 minigun* six-barreled machine gun, the requirements for accuracy and quality inspection, for this era, is extremely hard. After the Ministry of Industry took over, machine guns could not be produced at all.

"Why? Because the officials in the Ministry of Industry think that I am too benevolent and righteous, which is a euphemism. In their hearts, they think Ding Yi is really stupid! Why give craftsmen such good conditions and remuneration? Artisan households, they are originally a class that has been oppressed! They began to bully the engineers and technical backbones who stayed in Huaxia, cut their salaries, did not let them rest, canceled bonuses, demanded kneeling and bowing, and heard that they even wanted to be whipped! Otherwise, those engineers and technical backbones were forced to have no choice, took out the technical grade certificate I issued to them, and threatened to sue me, but I am afraid that the officials under the Ministry of Industry will kill people! ”

When Ding Yi said this, he suddenly slapped the book case, and pointed at Queen Qian with a halberd in great anger: "I did everything possible to persuade the more than 1,000 technical backbones and engineers who stayed behind, all of them left, some applied to go to sea, some were sheltered by the ordnance * of the first and fourth divisions of the Ming Dynasty, and some actually went to open a blacksmith shop!" I've cultivated a technical backbone in ten years, and you're forcing people to do it so much that they can't do it, so you go and open a blacksmith shop! ”

"What's even more stupid is that these technicians are lost, and they don't even leave a note on the file, and then pay attention to where they go! These people can make guns! Even if you can't make a rifle, you can definitely make a rifle, and if you go to the people, someone wants to rebel and pull these unjust craftsmen, what do you say? ”

Queen Qian was so frightened that she subconsciously leaned back, and she was stunned by the scolding.

She never thought that some lowly craftsmen would be involved in such a big problem.

Ding Yi snorted coldly, he was really angry, although the Heaven and Earth Society and the Zhongyi Society played a role at this time, at that time, Zhang Yu was not too sick to take care of things, and quickly reorganized these more than 1,000 craftsmen and placed them in the Wuzhou Factory, which was not handed over to the Ministry of Industry, to reorganize production.

But the Ministry of Industry is doing this, it is really completely the act of the cub selling Ye Tian without heartache, and behind this, Ding Yitong guò line newspaper can sniff out the driving force behind Queen Qian, or say that she is a little wronged, it should be her father and brother and other relatives who are fueling the flames in the back.

"And Niangniang, I roughly think that what I said is just to listen to it, right?" Ding drank all the residual tea in one gulp, and stared at Queen Qian coldly, "What did I say?" Wan Zhen'er is my disciple, if she gets in the way of Niangniang's eyes, please send her out of the palace, I am short of manpower around me, I don't know if Niangniang can remember? ”

"No one has done anything bad to Wan Zhen'er! Third uncle! Hongu swears to God! Queen Qian panicked a little.

Ding Yi didn't want to tell her anymore, so he gestured to Ding Junyue, who touched his heel and straightened up: "Niangniang, attacking the East Palace is no different from attacking Wan Zhen'er?" Mr. is protecting Wan Zhen'er, and he is protecting the East Palace! This is the time to tear these up, and it is a loss of your identity. ”

Queen Qian came to her senses all of a sudden, and the last sentence calmed her down, she is the queen of the world, and she is not a lawsuit, so it is really a shame to entangle a sentence. So after she came back to her senses a little, she also made a decision: "Third uncle, according to the palace, this industrial * department is still under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas. Today, the palace made it clear to the public who entrusted the matter that this is not the meaning of the third uncle, it is the meaning of the palace, that is, the hundred officials have criticism, and it is the palace to bear it! As the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, this palace will never tolerate such a thing, it will happen again and again! ”

The sun passed noon, and the sunlight that penetrated into the room was quite warm in the autumn, and with the queen's loud words, it really taught people's blood to boil. It's just that Ding Yi and Ding Junyue both had strong convulsions in their stomachs, and they really wanted to vomit.

"As for the railway, the merit is in the present generation, and the benefit is in the future! When the Daming iron mine is taxed, it is taxed in kind, and then if it is taken as three or two percent, it will be handed over to the third uncle to smelt the rail steel! ”

Ding smiled slightly when he heard this, and didn't answer Queen Qian's words, but just said: "The emperor can still tolerate the Jianshu people, Huaxia is so big, can't he tolerate a Zhu Jianshen?" If you can't tolerate it, teach him to go to North America with me, the world is big, there is always a place for him to stand, Niangniang thinks it makes sense? ”

"The third uncle is a pedantic celestial, so he naturally speaks of righteousness."

"What I don't understand, why is it a mother?" Ding Yi frowned and asked Queen Qian this question that he really couldn't figure out. At first, he subconsciously ruled out the queen, and even Yu Qian felt that it was very likely that Zhu Jianshen would shout to catch the thief!

Because the queen doesn't need to come to this point at all, she has enough influence over Yingzong! (To be continued......)
