Your Majesty, should this water-powered spinning wheel and glass be mass-produced? In fact, as long as Your Majesty is willing, it is not difficult to produce these things. ”

Jia Ba cautiously asked next to Ran Min.

"Naturally, the hydro-powered spinning wheel has to be mass-produced, and the faster the better. I can already imagine that the silk produced by this water-powered spinning wheel is sold in large quantities in the market, and even to the south, the north, and even further to the west! In this way, the revenue of the treasury will certainly increase significantly. But this glass ......."

A sly light flashed in Ran Min's eyes: "Not many people know how to make glass, right?" ”

"This ...... Not many people know. In addition to the ministers, and those like-minded alchemists, as well as the king, you and the three adults Cui, Wang, and Qin, no one else knows. ”

"Good."

Ran Min glanced at Jia Ba, "But anyone who has come into contact with glass and knows the production method of glass, you have to control it, whether it is coercion, temptation, or even house arrest, it is fine, and the production method of glass must not be leaked!" ”

"Yes."

"Also, glass can't be mass-produced, so it's going to be produced in limited quantities. You can make beautiful cups, screens, mirrors, glass balls, etc., as the saying goes, rare is expensive. Jia Ba, you know! ”

"No!"

Jia Ba lowered his head and didn't let Ran Min see his expression at the moment.

Ran Min is really a profiteer!

But anything that is profitable, Ran Min will never let it go easily.

"Jia Ba, I still want you to be responsible for Xie Fei."

"Your Majesty, please. Even if he goes to the soup, the minister will not hesitate! ”

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let you pin your head to your belt. This may be a bit of a hassle, and you'll have to work on it for months! I want to hold a big invention competition, and we will recruit people from all over the world to join, and then you can choose some of them to enter the Academy of Sciences. ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know what the rules of the competition are?"

"There is no limit to the number of people, there is no limit to the invention. Inventors compete at the county level, to the state level, and finally I personally screen, rank them, and award them. However, all inventors who participate in the competition can obtain invention patents, and all expenses during the competition period will be borne by the imperial court. ”

Because there may be too few inventors for a while, the competition from the county level may basically be empty, and there are not a few inventors in a county, so Ran Min started directly from the county level.

Ran Min said again: "That's right." Inventions, including improvements, such as improving papermaking, improving agricultural tools such as plows, improving weapons, etc., can be counted as inventions! As for the end, the fourth to tenth places can enter the Academy of Sciences, and the reward is 500 yuan, and the field is 500 acres. The second and third places were rewarded with 800 yuan and 80 acres of land, which entered the Academy of Sciences and left their names in the annals of history. The first prize is 1,000 yuan, 100 acres of land, entered the Academy of Sciences, left in the annals of history, and was named a viscount! ”

What a great honor!

The people who were originally engaged in "cheap business", with Ran Min making such a fuss, I am afraid that they will turn the sky upside down!

The era of great inventions has come completely!

In 349 AD, that is, in October of the second year of Emperor Kaihuang of Wei, there was another great rebellion in Guanzhong, which had just been quiet for a few months.

Pu Jing, who was named the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, the prime minister, the general who led the chariot and cavalry, and the Yongzhou pastor, and the prince of the East Sea, wanted to kill Yao Xiang and take charge of the court alone, but the matter was leaked, Yao Xiang was afraid, and immediately raised troops to attack the prime minister's mansion in Puqing.

In a hurry, Pu Jing was defeated and fled to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

But the war in Guanzhong did not stop there.

So Yao Xiang completely controlled the power of the Qin State, under one person in Guanzhong and above ten thousand people!

But the good times didn't last long, and when he heard that there were rebellions in Guanzhong one after another, Ran Min could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and decided to ride 100,000 steps to the west.

The party is fighting against each other, and the Guanzhong, where they attack each other, has long been in tatters, and Ran Min does not believe that such a Qin state can still withstand the powerful offensive of the Wei army! This time, Ran Min not only wanted to recover Guanzhong, but also thought about destroying the Liang Kingdom that had divided the Western Regions and Longyou!

On November 1st, Ran Min drove the expedition in person, leading the left and right Xiaowei, the left and right military guards, and the left and right Yulin guards, and 100,000 elite divisions set off from Daliang and rushed straight to Guanzhong.

In order to ensure that there was not too much pressure on logistics, the grain and baggage needed for the army's westward expedition had already been transported to Hedong.

In fact, Hedong, as the forward position of Wei to deal with Guanzhong, has always been piled up with grain and grass, so there is no need for too many people to escort grain and grass, so Ran Min used only 200,000 people in this battle.

Ran Min claimed to have sent 300,000 troops to the west, and the world was watching!

At this time, everyone knew that whether it was the Jin State, the Dai State or the Yan State, it was impossible to send troops to invade the Central Plains and help the Qin State share some of the pressure.

After all, he was beaten so badly by Wei State before, and his vitality has not fully recovered, so if he goes over to find fault at this time, isn't he looking for death?

Therefore, the only one who is likely to send troops to help Qin is Zhang Jun of Xiliang!

But Zhang Jun is already running out of oil at this time!

"Ahem! ......" In the huge Guzang palace room, between the lights flickering on and off, there was a coughing sound full of decadence and sickness.

And the middle-aged man lying on the bed, with a pale face and unfocused eyes, is Zhang Jun, who is already in his last years!

In the original history, Zhang Jun died in 346 AD, but for some reason, it may be the butterfly effect. After the blow of Ran Min's expedition to the west, Zhang Jun seems to be still nostalgic for the things in this world, and he can't rest assured about Xiliang's future, so he has been staying up and fighting against the disease! New 81 Computer:/

Forty-three years old is not very old, but Zhang Jun looks like an old man in his sixtieth year, and he is extremely weak!

"Hasn't Tailin (Zhang Chonghua) come back yet?"

Hearing Zhang Jun's question, Queen Yan, who was kneeling on one side, was crying, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "King, Tailin is still on the way. I should be able to get to Guzang tomorrow. ”

"Tomorrow?"

Zhang Jun laughed miserably and said, "If Tailin arrives tomorrow, it is estimated that he will not even be able to see his last face." ”

"The King's ......"

"That's fine. Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, the widow would have already died, if it weren't for the few pills given by the Fangshi, the widow would have died a long time ago! ”

"Your Majesty, please don't say these unlucky words."

"Is Mantis (Zhang Zuo's small print) there?"

Hearing Zhang Jun shouting to himself, Zhang Zuo suddenly crawled over with a roll: "Father, the child is here." ”

Zhang Jun said angrily: "Mantis, you are erudite and mighty, and you have the talent to manage political affairs. You are the eldest son of a widow, but you are a concubine, and you are a concubine, but you are the way to take trouble. After the widow, I hope you can assist your brother well. ”

"Yes, boy, remember!"

"In this life, the widow has captured Henan, has all the land of Longxi, defeated Qiuci, Shanshan and other countries, and dominated the Western Regions. In this corner of Yixiliang, it is great to have such an achievement! Mantis, the widow heard that Ran Min has raised troops to invade Guanzhong, right? ”
