Chapter 484: Big Order
"Girls should also study more, and Wang Lao can let his granddaughter be an example in the future." Bai Tu continued.
"King Xie cares, that's what the old minister and the dog think."
"Have you picked a name?"
"I only took a small word 'Yuan Yuan'." Wang Lang saw that Bai Tu cared about his newborn granddaughter, and he had some doubts in his heart, but he responded quickly.
Bai Tu nodded when he heard this, and then said: "In the future, when Qing'er reaches the age of going to school, let Yuan Yuan also go with him, and it can be regarded as finding a companion......
It seems that it is just a matter of making an appointment for the younger generations to go to school together, but Bai Tu's tone is solemn.
Wang Lang was also stunned when he heard this, and then understood the meaning of Bai Tu, and couldn't help but reddened his old eyes and said, "King Xie...... The Wang family will be determined for generations and share worries for the king! ”
That's right, Bai Tu's hint is already obvious - he wants to match his eldest son and Wang Lang's granddaughter!
It's just that firstly, the child is still young, and secondly, the official Chu State does not advocate these, so it must not be said explicitly.
Bai Tu also made up his mind to give Bai Qing a ride......
Originally, Bai Tu didn't want to engage in any marriage, but now he also thinks so, the reason why he has the idea of "arranging" is not to win over Wang Lang and Wang Su, but to compensate and show support!
Wang Lang did the most scolded work, and Wang Su was ready to leave a stench for 10,000 years in the future - the fake can't be true, and it will be discovered sooner or later.
However, as long as it is concealed for a while, the old Confucianism and the white school can complete the merger, for the Chu State, the goal has been achieved.
As for what was later found to be fake......
That's also Wang Su's own problem! What does it have to do with my Da Chu, what does it have to do with Confucianism, and what does it have to do with Baixue?
It's just that Bai Tu feels that he can't bully "honest people" like this, this black pot Wang Su has already advanced, and Wang Lang has already memorized countless mouthfuls, and he should also express himself.
It is impossible to explain anything about the addition of officials and knights, after all, if "Wang Xue" is "thunderous" during the next generation and the next generation, the blow to the Wang family will be fatal.
What's more, it is not appropriate to add an official to the knighthood "for no reason......
In history, the impact of Wang Su's fraud is not great, mainly because the anti-counterfeiting is more than 1,000 years late, "Wang Xue" has been widely accepted, and there is no mathematical school for more than 1,000 years to extend Wang Xue, even if he is found to be fake, the impact on academics is limited, it is impossible to correct the deviation from more than 1,000 years ago, and the impact on Wang's descendants is almost none.
Just as after the discovery of the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" in history, it was not officially adopted, so it is impossible to reconstruct the ideological foundation from the "Spring and Autumn Period", right?
However, with the current speed of development of humanities and science and technology in the Chu State, how could it be discovered after more than a thousand years like the original history?
Therefore, Bai Tu used a more direct way to assure Wang Lang and Wang Su of the future of the Wang family!
While Bai Tu moved this idea, he also thought about whether Sima Shi would have had this idea in the first place?
After all, Wang Su's "academic fraud" at that time was benefited by the family headed by Sima.
……
Wang Lang's granddaughter "Yuan Yuan", the news that Bai Tu was hand-picked to accompany the prince in the future was deliberately spread.
For a while, whoever looked at Wang Lang had a little sour in his eyes, knowing that Wang Lang's status in the future was going to go further-not to mention the side, at least You Heng would not fight him again, this is the row!
The work of the Natural Criminal Punishment Department can also be carried out much more smoothly.
Many important ministers also felt that Bai Tu was too anxious to decide on this matter, after all, it was more than ten years later...... If you want the son to be an example of late marriage and late childbearing, maybe even twenty years from now, why decide now?
But thinking about what Wang Lang's criminal department did, as well as Wang Su's tacit behavior, everyone was relieved.
Although it is sour, they may not be willing to "exchange" if they ask themselves if it is their own.
To some extent, this is also a symbol of the king's memory of the dedication of every hero...... When I think about it this way, my heart is much more balanced.
In addition, another major event in Chu recently is that several official workshops of the Ministry of Industry and a large number of private workshops, including many "semi-official workshops" in which the king of Chu has a stake, have received "super orders" by surprise, and many workshops have even been busy with this big order in the past two or three years!
It has greatly promoted the development of the workshop......
After all, the production capacity of a large number of workshops is occupied by this "super order", making room for more workshops, and more pure workshop population will also be needed!
Even many workshops accept overorders, that is, they need to open a large number of new workshops and increase production capacity within a year to meet the order requirements!
Especially this big order, it is still closely related to steel, and Shengsheng will raise a hand in the increasingly "cheap" steel of Chu State.
Because most of the workshops in the upstream of technology are confidential official workshops monopolized by the Chu State, and even the core workshops are in overseas Yizhou, the final results of the order are theoretically confidential.
However, if you roughly estimate that the steel needed is tens of thousands of tons......
Originally, some people thought that after all the farm tools and weapons were enough, the price of steel would plummet, and now they are all dumbfounded - in fact, the previous "conclusion" is dumbfounded enough, and there will be an era when steel is worthless?
Indeed, because of the emergence of auxiliary mining equipment such as the "real gas rock drill" developed by the Ministry of Industry, the excavable reserves of iron ore and the excavation speed have been amazingly improved.
Now even the iron mines contracted by Liaodong to the Chu State are about to start using these equipment......
As a result, the price of steel has been declining!
Afterwards...... was badly raised by this super order, the kind that can't be ordered for a few years, and in the next few years, most of the capacity of many ironmaking workshops will be booked.
At the same time, the final product of this "super order" has also attracted countless speculations.
Some people say that the king of Chu wants to build a steel palace, some people say that the state of Chu wants to build a steel bunker, some people say that it is to create a secret weapon to arm an army of millions, and some people even say that the state of Chu wants to build a steel giant ship and a steel road!
Outside of the Chu State, the widely accepted version is naturally the third version.
One ton of Chu is 10,000 catties, tens of thousands of tons of steel, an average of one million troops, and a single soldier has hundreds of catties!
Enough for an army of millions......
Of course, the state of Chu does not have a million troops, nor can it be a million war horses, so it is puzzling what tens or hundreds of catties of steel per person are for.
However, within the Chu State, the fourth argument is very marketable - after all, the people of Chu also know that the imperial court attaches great importance to sea ships and warships.
It's just that...... The matter of the steel battleship is no less incomprehensible.
Although now if someone questions "how can an iron boat float", there may be "smart people" around him to popularize science about the basic principle of buoyancy, after all, the popular science of Chu is not in vain, but ...... Even then, it does not explain why steel battleships are needed!
In terms of water warfare, whether it is on the river or in the ocean, the state of Chu is already invincible.
Other princes who imported weapons, farm tools and other steel products from the Chu State have already jumped to their feet - it is not enough for you to let the people practice to raise the price of grain, and now you have to "consume" tens of thousands of tons of steel inexplicably to raise the price of steel?
Do you still have a conscience as a white person? Deliberately wasting food and steel in order to raise prices?
Sure enough, you are a toss, for us to pay more when trading!
As for the first and second conjectures, there is no market, although the Wei and Han families will have a clear conscience and propagate to the people that Bai Tu will use thousands of tons of steel, as well as gold, silver and copper traded from his own house, to build a palace for himself, which is extremely luxurious and outrageous...... But in fact, they don't believe that Bai Tu would do this.
And on the blockhouse used for defense, spending so much effort is obviously not the style of the Chu State.
Of course, in the real inner circle of the Chu State, this kind of huge project involving countless workshops, even if the final core assembly site is placed in Yizhou, it is impossible to hide it from everyone - it is indeed to build ships!
As for the use of paving......
It sounds incredible, but it's also true in a way.
In fact, in order to convince everyone, Bai Tu specially took more than a dozen core ministers of the Chu State to experience the True Qi Ship......
It is a compact wooden real gas ship.
Although the "Pan True Qi Project" has not yet reached the time when it can harvest a large number of fruits, the True Qi engine, which can power a small wooden ship that can accommodate dozens of people, is fully operational.
Just like summoning more than a dozen military generals to test guns and cannons before, this time it is to let these governance cores test the real qi ship!
When a ship without sails and oars can move smoothly and even turn flexibly in an environment without wind and waves, the results of the Ministry of Industry are once again shocking.
However, compared to the real gas ship, it is another "real gas train", which can convince everyone even more - although it is an experimental product, it is just a circle around the site of the Ministry of Industry.
However, the load and speed of the True Qi Train, and the ministers who have some macro concepts in their hearts, can imagine how much benefit this kind of "True Qi Train" can bring to the Chu State if it is popularized.
In terms of the consumption of the "True Qi Train", it is actually even worse than the "True Qi Boat"!
Although one True Qi battleship consumes thousands of tons of steel, it is at least a hammer deal, and unless it is built in large quantities, it is also the consumption of a small number of "several".
The track of the real gas train consumes one ton of steel per kilometer - this is still the current train, and it is relatively "small", so the track is also "saved" a lot more than that of later generations, and it can be dealt with first with ladle wood, otherwise it is not enough to add a zero!
Although there is a hard disk with a white map, it can avoid many detours, but the first is that the information is incomplete, and the second is ...... There are also some differences between true aerodynamic power and steam power, and the development still has to be done step by step.
As for Yizhou Qin Mi's visit......
It's really not a big deal in Chu State, and after he arrived in Jinling, he was also hung out, and everyone didn't bother to pay attention to him.
