Section 418 Grapevine [6 of 5]
Who and what do you do?
Merchants do business, farmers farm, craftsmen make tools, and scholars herd the world on behalf of kings!
Li Shao didn't ask any more questions, what he said was right, he didn't know how to do business at all. It's just that his son Li Daozong is in charge of the snow salt farm, and it would really be a pity if he didn't stick some of this right.
Moreover, this sticky is still legal.
"I heard that when Princess Mingyue was in the heavenly court, she was a disciple of the God of Wealth, and she only respected Confucianism over the years. His Royal Highness King Qin's Royal University has been preparing to enroll students in recent days, and it is also divided into five academies: scholars, agriculture, industry, commerce, and soldiers. ”
Although the old man of the Cui family has stayed away from the political circle, it does not mean that he knows nothing.
"The people's name for these five courts is even more interesting. The Shiyuan is called Xianyuan, then the Land Gongyuan, then the Luban Yuan, the Caishen Yuan, and the Shenjun Yuan. ”
The old man of the Cui family chatted with the old idle nobles.
But in the Ministry of Rites, this is not a small talk, Wang Jishan never thought that the Ministry of Rites would be busier than the other six departments, but in fact, now he is so busy that he even feels a waste of time drinking saliva.
Wang Shangshu, more than 7,000 students from 78 states, nationalities, and ethnic groups who applied for admission. The farthest away are the students of Daqin, and there are quite a few of them, more than three hundred. And there are two sons and daughters of the Great Qin Archons, and the Great Qin and my Datang are not allied, so what about their students? ”
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites asked in a whisper at the table.
Wang Jishan gently put down the paperwork in his hand: "Inform me, all the things that you can't pay attention to." It must be listed today, and the Japanese officials of the Ming Dynasty went to Qinwangzhuang in person. ”
"Yes!" The waiter of the Ministry of Rites retreated.
At this time, a member of the Wang family came to the Ministry of Rites, and after coming to Wang Jishan's office according to the rules, he was not in a hurry to speak.
"Come with me!" Wang Jishan entered the lounge in the back hall.
Only then did the family member say: "There is news in the palace that the Holy Lord has discussed with His Royal Highness the King of Qin and is preparing to set up several more steel mills with an annual capacity of 10 million catties. The small one sent someone to inquire again, and a forbidden army in the palace gave a message, only saying that His Royal Highness King Qin did not seem to plan to build his own steel mill anymore, and wanted to divide the steel mill. ”
"Points?" Wang Jishan asked.
"The little ones know that. Someone who inquires again. There is no news of an update yet. On that day, when His Royal Highness King Qin and the Holy Lord first talked, it was strictly forbidden for anyone to come near the study. After talking about business, when enjoying tea, I let the palace maid and eunuch enter the study. A few sentences that leaked out. It's when it's time for small talk. ”
Wang Jishan waved his hand: "You go down!" ”
Shoot the breeze. Got small talk? Did Li Er and Li Yuanxing have a small talk that day?
The news was released by Gonggong Gao and his cronies and eunuchs, as well as several reliable forbidden soldiers.
Of course, it was released under the authorization of the great Tang Emperor.
The news. will definitely let those who need to know this news know that the Taiyuan Wang family was originally one of Li Yuanxing's important choices. Coal digging has made them a lot of money, not to mention Hebei Road, that is, further east, further north, there are Taiyuan family matchmakers selling on the grassland.
At present, Liaocheng and Jian'an are afraid that they will soon have coal.
That night, Wang Jishan found an excuse to treat him and summoned the seven great families to come over.
"Speaking of coal, the old man thinks that Datang is so big, there is more than one place where there is coal." Wang Jishan spoke first, not mentioning steel, but only coal.
Cui Junsu said: "Yi Ye once said to a certain that His Royal Highness the King of Qin has a book on stainless steel, and he reminded him to think about why His Royal Highness the King of Qin wants Yaozhou, so what is special about Yaozhou. ”
"Please Cui Shangshu make it clear!" This is not the time to guess, someone will ask directly.
"Coal cannot be used to make steel directly, but only by desulfurization can coal coke be made. This is some of the fur that the old man knows, and the most important step in desulfurization is limestone. After desulfurization, limestone turns into gypsum, which is said to be very useful. The sealing rubber ring used on the fire swallowing dragon car must use gypsum, and then eucommia. The magic cement, gypsum is also one of the must-haves. Therefore, I think that instead of guessing and looking for mines by ourselves, it is better to ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin. ”
Cui Junsu's words went to everyone's hearts.
Yes, it is not realistic to prospect for mine by yourself, and many clever processes, just say that this coke to extract sulfur, who has heard in the past, a million catties of steel, said to take it out.
This is craftsmanship!
"There's too much steel, so don't eat it!" The head of the Lu family asked.
"This is a problem, steel is a thing that used to make weapons, although it is not a prohibited item, but the imperial court is also very strict." Cui Junsu also agreed with the Lu family's words.
A young man from the Bolingcui family made an exception and gave a salute to the elders.
"Give young people a chance to speak!" When an elder speaks, the young man naturally has something to say.
"A certain uncle is the chief of the Qin Prince's Mansion, and a certain young man is stubborn and does not read poetry and books. Uncle Lu arranged for me to follow Lu Zhubo as a personal entourage, and now Lu Zhubo is Yaozhou Shaoyin, and he was assigned to be a second-class foreman to guard the thirteenth workshop of stainless steel. ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone became interested.
Obviously, this young man was specially called here, and several elders motioned to watch the seats and serve tea.
This is the treatment, because this young man's next words may affect the decision of the Seventh Family.
"Thank you!"
"Uncles, brothers." The Seven Families are of the same heart, so there is nothing wrong with this title.
After the young man gave a salute, he continued: "The fire-swallowing dragon car, the machine at the front of the car is called a steam engine, and it was made by a young third-class craftsman, Ma Yuan, according to the instructions of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, with more than 800 craftsmen. This thing can be large or small, and the most can be the size of this table, but there are also several horses. ”
"You mean, it's very useful!"
"Yes, the forging die machine, the hydraulic belt can't move, but Ma Yuan said that the steam engine can drive. A steam car that swallows the fire and the dragon can drive 10,000 looms, and only tens of thousands of catties of coal and dozens of loads of water are enough every day. ”
Coal is worthless!
That thing is a stone in the ground, just dig it out. 10,000 catties of coal is only less than 300 wen and more than 200 wen labor cost. Combined with transportation, the 10,000 looms can be used for a day for a consistent amount of money, which is cheaper than feeding cattle and horses.
Water power, a waterwheel, but a dozen or twenty looms.
"The liliang of the mechanism, that is, there will be more powerful mechanisms in the future. Well, all of these things need to be made of stainless steel. So, steel is a good thing. ”
"The younger generation is brave, if the railroad tracks of His Royal Highness King Qin are paved all over the entire Tang Dynasty, I don't know how much it will need!"
"Very good, the Cui family has another hero. What do you ask, just ask. "Although Cui Junsu is from the Qinghe Cui family, he is representing the Seventh Family, not just the Boling Cui Family.
The young man bowed: "The younger generation requests, the admission quota of the Luban Academy of Datang Royal University." I want to go to school and learn the real art of heavenly craftsmanship. ”
"So-and-so supports him, what about everyone's opinions!" Cui Junsu was the first to express.
The head of the Boling Cui clan stood up at this time, bowed to everyone and said slowly: "Before I came, I had already thought about it, and the family selected hundreds of elite children to enter the Tang Royal Academy, of which only fifteen entered the Xian Academy, and the rest entered the three academies of agriculture, industry, and commerce. There may be one or two people in the Academy, but it's not the first choice! ”
With that, the head of the Bolingcui clan motioned for the young man to leave.
Wang Jishan also stood up at this time: "A certain opinion is that the master of our seven families should not stick to the matter of the steel mill. After all, steel is a sensitive thing, each family's branch, go from the house to do it, the main family as long as you control it not to go overboard, how much steel, report to the Ministry of Industry on a monthly basis, this is the appropriate way. ”
"Elder Wang's idea is steady, and my Lu family supports it!" The head of the Lu family said loudly.
Steel is very sensitive, a big family, with millions of catties of steel, really makes people feel that they are not planning to rebel.
You must know that in the era of cold weapons, the output of steel determines the national strength of a country.
"Tomorrow, the old man will visit Qin Wangzhuang, is there anything else to explain......
Among the Wang family, the seventh family discussed all night.
And in Qin Wangzhuang, Li Yuanxing has already come out of the martial arts room, not because he feels that he is enough. It's realization, you also need to think, and one or two more hours of practice every day is enough, and there is no need for retreat.
At dinner, the seven girls set the table and did not say anything about eating, this is the rule.
On the other side, the curtain has been pulled, and they are ready to watch Liang Zhu's seventh and eighth episodes.
Jindeman came uninvited, and even went to King Qin's family banquet to eat rice.
"Princess, are you still used to living in Qinwangzhuang?" Li Changying welcomed Jindeman in very politely.
Jindeman's face flushed, she knew that she was invited to sit as a guest, but she didn't plan to leave after staying, this would be polite to Li Changying, but she was a little unnatural in her heart, and she was also secretly careful, afraid of causing the hostility of the seven princesses of Qin.
Kindman smiled and said, "In a few days, I'm going back to Silla." ”
"Let's go back in such a hurry, isn't it okay for Datang to have Silla?" Li Changying asked this sincerely.
Jindeman also saw Li Changying's sincerity and replied: "Silla is like a small fishing village by the sea compared to Chang'an, but it is Deman's home after all. Of course, Deman came to Datang as a hostage, and if Datang accepted my Silla as a vassal, then I would live in Datang. ”
Li Yuanxing heard the taste, Jindeman was really smart. A few sentences convey several layers of meaning.
Especially when it comes to zuihou, this matter that urges the signing of a new covenant, by the way, I also want Li Yuanxing to make a statement, and let her stay or leave. Li Yuanxing said to stay, then she would justifiably stay in Qinwangzhuang. Li Yuanxing said that the possibility is infinitely close to zero, because the alliance between the two countries is also a great thing for Datang. (To be continued......)
