After nearly two months of unremitting efforts and repeated experiments, the simple and rough stacking casting method was finally improved, using the mechanism with the stacking casting method, stacking multiple pieces of casting into a mold, sharing a gate to pour, so that multiple currencies can be minted at the same time.

The newly made casting model is mixed with some newly mined metal manganese, and then with hydraulic stamping, so that the casting efficiency and casting effect have been greatly improved, if the stacking casting method that Zhou Tian got is used, a set of molds can only cast seventy-two copper coins at a time, and the probability of bad coins occurs from time to time, and the copper coins that are minted also need to be processed by two processes before they can be issued.

The use of the improved new stacking casting method a set of copper coin mold can cast 360 copper coins at the same time, the efficiency is increased by five times, and the use of mechanism to guide the water pressure, can save a lot of labor, the number of labor can be controlled, and the casting of the same period as long as a simple grinding and polishing can be issued, saving a process.

A total of 30 sets of copper coin minting dies can be made, which can be minted four times a day, 43,200 coins a day, and 1,296,000 coins a month.

And the gold coin casting mold is much more complicated, the process is also a lot more, a set of gold coin mold can mint 36 coins at a time, a total of two sets are designed, because there is no gold mine in the hand, so more is useless, and it is too late to increase the gold mine in the future.

Mo Qiao's fart came to Zhuang Shaoyou to invite merit, Zhuang Shaoyou patiently explained his requirements to him, the powerful families in all parts of the Han Dynasty have privately minted money, and the official coinage of currency has become a dead letter, and a large number of private coins have made the world's currency chaotic, and all kinds of uneven quality and generally poor quality money flooded the market, resulting in price disorder.

Zhuang Shaoyou is determined to change this situation, at least to ensure that this situation does not occur in Yudi and Liaodong, but at present, there is only one copper mine in the mountains north of Hongya Town, and the coinage materials are not sufficient.

Therefore, Zhuang Shaoyou decided to re-determine the weight of the copper coin as 25 baht based on the standard five-baht coin of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, with 1.3 grams per baht, that is, the weight of a standard five-baht coin is 32.5 grams! The material is nine copper and one tin, with round square holes, but the words on the copper coin are changed to - the world is treasured!

There is also a non-porous gold coin minted by imitating the imperial court gold cake, weighing 192 baht, or 250 grams, that is, half a catty, which is the same weight as the standard gold coin of the imperial court, and the gold coin is printed with four words: World Jinbao!

The currency circulating in the market is mainly gold cake and five baht money, and the exchange rate is one pound of gold to ten thousand dollars, and the weight of the world's gold treasure is half a pound of gold, and the weight of the copper money of the world's Tongbao is five times that of the standard five-baht coin, so the exchange rate of the world's Jinbao and the world's Tongbao is 1:1000.

That is, 1 pound of gold = 2 gold treasure = 2000 Tongbao = 10000 money (the currency exchange rate in the previous article was chaotic, in fact, the author himself was confused, so it is officially corrected here!) Silver is temporarily withdrawn from the stage, and it will be used again after a while when it comes back from overseas robbery! ）

Mo Qiao asked a lot of questions in detail, and was finally sent away by Zhuang Shaoyou in a perfunctory manner.

After the end of the Xiangping Grain War, Zhou Tian was busy opening up new trade routes, and according to Guoyuan's requirements, he went to the grassland to exchange grain for more than 1,000 ploughing cattle and came back, so that the number of ploughing cattle in the county reached 3,000 heads, and he was ready for next year's spring ploughing.

In late October, the rivers in the north began to freeze, and Zhou Tian returned from Goguryeo Marudu, completing the first trade with Goguryeo, selling Central Plains specialties and some Ryukyu specialties, and at the same time purchasing a lot of goods locally, with a total surplus of 1,000 catties of gold.

On October 28th, the ink came in a hurry, since the last time Zhuang Shaoyou mentioned a sentence, the ink organized craftsmen to design and build, and now the first transport ship is testing the water today! Four-masted!

Although this transport ship is not as important as the five-masted warship, it is also a new species, so I just have nothing to do, and I will go and inspect it!

Zhuang Shaoyou came to the dock, boarded the transport ship, and was suddenly startled, so big?

Ink was very satisfied with Zhuang Shaoyou's reaction on the side, so he said leisurely: "General, this ship is a four-masted transport ship, because it is mainly used for offshore and inland river transportation, the requirements are much lower than that of ocean-going sea ships, plus the design and construction of our four-masted ship is already very mature, and we have absorbed a lot of useful things from Ryukyu last time, so it was designed and built quickly!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled and said, "It seems that your harvest last time was really not small!" ”

"General, my subordinates still have to thank the general for their attention to have a clear understanding! General, please, let's go to the bow of the ship! ”

The two of them walked to the bow of the ship, and the transport ship began to start slowly, sailing out of the dock and into the sea, the weather at the end of October was already very cold, and the waves at sea were a little stronger than in summer, but sitting on the transport ship was very smooth. Ink introduced on the side: "General, this ship is completely different from the previous four-masted ship structure, using a double-flat-bottomed hull structure, which is equivalent to putting two ships together, but not exactly!" This can enhance its smoothness, but the disadvantage is that the turning radius is too large, which is very inconvenient!

The hull is 14 feet long and 5 feet long, and 8 feet wide! It is three zhang high, the draft is eight feet, it can enter the general inland waterway, the speed of the ship is 120 to 320 miles a day, the cargo hold is 2,400 square meters, which is twice that of a four-masted merchant ship, and the standard carrying capacity is 50 people.

The four-masted transport ship, with four crosssails and two longitudinal sails, is not equipped with weapons and equipment because it is used for offshore and inland river transportation.

This ship is used for both military and civilian purposes, and can transport goods in peacetime, such as transporting timber from Hongya Town to Timber, and each ship can carry 1,000 soldiers and 300 horses in wartime! In addition, the addition of 40 manpower oars at each of the bilges of the double hull, for a total of 80 manpower oars, can instantly double the speed of the boat!

What are you not satisfied with, General, about this ship? It is good to correct it under it! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou didn't care too much about it, but when he heard him say that he could carry a thousand soldiers and three hundred war horses at a time, he was taken aback, this is simply a landing craft! And there are eighty manpower paddles, which I've seen twice, but the effect is so remarkable!

"Excellent! Very good! I'm satisfied, no comments! Continue! ”

Ink was disappointed for a while, originally very hopefully waiting for Zhuang Shaoyou's comments, so as to draw some opinions from it for improvement, but I didn't expect that this time there were no comments, could it be that this ship is really perfect? Can't! This is the first time such a boat has been designed!

Zhuang Shaoyou observed the trial voyage of the four-masted transport ship at sea, and then wanted to go to the garment factory in the north of the city to inspect the situation, but found that the cars and horses there were crowded at the gate of the garment factory, and the crowds were surging, and he couldn't enter the door at all! Sent someone to inquire, it turned out to be a purchase!

It turned out that this garment workshop was established less than half a month, and there were 2,000 pieces of leather clothing produced, because those female workers were just starting out, and the sewn clothes could not meet the requirements of Momei at all, so Momei discussed with Gongsun Linglong, anyway, there are so many people in the city, and they are generally not very rich, so they decided to sell them in the city at a low price! The price is only two percent higher than the cost price, and the profit is small but the turnover is high!

As a result, the city was full of exquisite brand leather clothes in an instant, and they quickly became famous, and the female popularity of these female workers was still good, but the ink eyebrows were too demanding, but the clothes sewn by the garment workshop were much stronger than those ordinary clothes on the market! And the price is cheap, and suddenly, all the major shops in the city have come to the garment shop to buy clothes, and those clothes with rough workmanship are not cared for!

As a result, the wealthy landlords and merchants in the city have invested in the construction of garment mills, and those old-fashioned small workshops can only merge, transfer or expand their scale when they are tired of business, otherwise they will be eliminated! For a time, there was a garment craze in the city!

After Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, he was bittersweet, he didn't expect that a garment workshop on his whim could bring such a big impact to the city, the Linglong garment workshop was on fire, and it drove the city's garment fever, which is generally a good thing!

But how do those small workshops survive? How can the shock of such a cheap sale to the market price be remedied? Zhuang Shaoyou pondered for a long time, and finally had an idea.
