After inspecting the power of artillery, the group took a carriage and headed to Xianyang City.

"You kid too, since the artillery has been developed, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known earlier, how could I have allowed those barbarians to make a big deal at the feast? ”

Inside the carriage, Ying Zheng began to complain constantly, and from time to time he threw a roll of his eyes at Xiao Zhengtai.

"My father wronged his son this time, and it was only at the banquet that he learned that the artillery had been successfully developed and passed the test!"

Xiao Zhengtai dangled his two little feet, revealing a very innocent expression.

"Okay, okay, you kid excuse ...... most!"

Ying Zheng smiled and said with great relief: "But then again, the power of this artillery is really great, it really opened the eyes of those barbarians, see if they dare to threaten me Daqin in the future!" ”

"Is there any merit for the minister today?"

Xiao Zhengtai's eyes lit up, and he raised his little head and asked.

"That's right, merit! Absolutely meritorious! ”

"Then shouldn't my father reward his sons?"

"Uh......! Why is this carriage moving so slowly today? ”

As soon as he heard this, Ying Zheng immediately opened the curtain on his side, looked out of the carriage, and asked suspiciously.

"Alas! The cost of artillery is not low, and it seems that it will not need to be rebuilt in the future! ”

This guy was going to play tricks, and Xiao Zhengtai was not a vegetarian, so he made an indifferent expression and began to fiddle with his white and tender little fingers.

"What? Don't make it? What is this cannon enough for? It can only scare and scare people! ”

As soon as the words fell, Ying Zheng immediately stopped doing it, blowing his beard and glaring.

"No way, limited funds!"

Xiao Zhengtai shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

"You kid are still crying poor with me? Bookstores, newspapers, wineries, cement factories, steel factories, I am afraid that your kid earns more in one day than the prime minister's salary for ten years, and you kid is still crying poor? ”

Although he didn't know how much Xiao Zheng could earn, he deduced from the dividends of the winery that these properties together had at least 10,000 gold per day.

However, what he didn't know was that Xiao Zhengtai's daily income far exceeded this number!

"Erchen does have some income, but there are also a lot of expenses, there are hundreds of craftsmen working in the arsenal alone, and there are 3,000 people in the Flying Eagle Team, and the daily salary of these people is not a small number!"

Xiao Zhengtai folded his fingers and cleared up, "In addition, the cost of raw materials is also a lot, while the artillery is being developed, Erchen also ordered Huang Yuan to take people to study the steam engine, and when the steam engine is successfully studied, a series of things such as steam trains and automobiles will be studied, and there will be more places to spend money in the future!" ”

"Trains, cars? What is this again? ”

Hearing the new words, Ying Zheng was full of question marks again.

"The train is equivalent to a horse-drawn carriage that can carry thousands of people, and it can travel thousands of miles a day, and it is no problem to pull people and goods! Cars are the same, only lighter and more agile! ”

Xiao Zhengtai explained simply.

"What? A car carrying a thousand people? Do you want to travel thousands of miles a day? How many horses do you have to pull it? Isn't this nonsense? ”

"Father, you misunderstood, the kind of car that Erchen said doesn't need a single horse!"

"Don't use horses? It's even worse to use people! ”

"No one is needed!"

Xiao Zhengtai, who talked a little, couldn't cry or laugh.

Could it be that in the eyes of this old man, there are only two kinds of carts: horses and manpower?

"So how can you make a vehicle that big travel thousands of miles a day?"

The more he talked about Yingzheng, the more confused he became.

In this era, transportation is very backward, and the journey of thousands of miles often takes ten days and a half months.

I don't dare to think about traveling thousands of miles in a day!

"Use the steam engine ......!"

Xiao Zhengtai didn't sell it anymore, and explained directly, "The steam engine uses coal as raw material and steam as the power, with the steam engine, it can not only make the train run smoothly, but also drive a lot of machines!" ”

"Huh? Not horses, not manpower, but steam? As long as you burn coal, you can travel thousands of miles a day? ”

Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for?" Hurry up and research! ”

"These things must be studied, but after Erchen studies them, he has to exchange these things for money, otherwise Erchen will not be able to study other things!"

Obviously, what he meant was that everything he researched had to be sold for money, otherwise there would be no money to develop any steam engines, trains, etc.

Curious about what a train looks like?

Then take the money!

How can you research without taking money?

"You're ......!"

Of course, Yingzheng understood what he meant, and he was angry and wanted to scold his mother.

This kid doesn't suffer at all, he has to pay for the artillery just after the development of the artillery here, and if he doesn't pay for it, he won't expand production, let alone other things in the back!

He also expects artillery to sweep the world, how can he do it without expanding production?

Looking at Xiao Zhengtai's immature face, he could only silently read in his heart, biological, biological!

"Okay, you kid go back and quickly expand production, how much money is needed to report to the treasury!"

In the end, Ying Zheng could only grit his teeth and agree.

He can still tell which is more important!

If it weren't for this kid, the treasury would still be tight, let alone produce such a lethal weapon!

Even if you have money, no one can make it!

Even if it is built, there are not so many resources!

Since Xiao Zhengtai returned to the palace, he pointed out a lot of copper and iron mines in the territory of Daqin.

Now copper and iron are no longer as rare as before, and people can also make a lot of iron tools to use!

"Okay......!"

Receiving Yingzheng's consent, Xiao Zhengtai nodded beautifully, and then continued: "Father, the son suggests that an artillery team be formed immediately and trained before the next batch of artillery is manufactured!" ”

"Hmmm! That's right, this matter will be handed over to you kid, and the soldiers of Daqin are up to you! ”

Artillery is definitely an extremely new thing in Daqin, and no one knows about it at all except Xiao Zhengtai.

Besides, don't look at his young age, he can do things without leakage, so that he can do things most securely!

"Leave it to me? Father, the son has a lot of things on hand! ”

Xiao Zhengtai's two small eyebrows suddenly twisted together.

"It's decided, if you want money, you have to bring soldiers out for me, otherwise I have more artillery, no one will put it, what's the use?"

Ying Zheng pretended to be annoyed and scolded.

"Uh......! All right! ”

Although Xiao Zhengtai was extremely reluctant, he still nodded.

There is nothing wrong with what people say, there are only cannons, no soldiers, play with a hammer?

Go back and let his cheap old man choose 10,000 people to come out, and then compile a set of detailed teaching materials and send them down, so that he can learn the theoretical knowledge first.

Then let the dozen or so soldiers who have learned to operate the artillery lead them to simulate training, and when all the artillery is built, they will almost have learned.

At that time, the death period of the Huns will come!
