As small as a shortage of catties or two, or as big as cheating people out of money, they can go to the Bureau of Commerce to solve the problem.

If Ye Yu sees it, I'm afraid he will change the Commerce Bureau to the Arbitration Bureau.

That's how you start small little by little.

The reputation of the Bureau of Commerce expanded rapidly.

Equivalent to a huge chamber of commerce covering all industries.

Moreover, the rules of this chamber of commerce are clear, and there is a strict regulatory system.

As long as the registered businessmen make money and do their duty, they can make a lot of money.

Even if they pay taxes, they still have a lot of money in their hands.

And after this batch of taxes continued to enter the treasury of the Southern Dynasties, the treasury of the Southern Dynasties somehow, just like people suddenly discovered the "New World", the treasury taxes, which were not very large, suddenly increased several times.

Maybe that's the money you made by secretly evading taxes in the past.

"Daddy, last time I wanted to say that you want to let the merchants of the entire Southern Dynasty get the standard book."

"The Ministry of Rites is going to be exhausted!"

Gongsun Ling'er was sitting in the study and complaining.

Whether it's a block print on copper or wood, so many pages are a headache.

Just printing a capital city is about to die of exhaustion.

Not to mention that the entire Southern Dynasty will be printed in the future!

"That's a problem, indeed."

Gongsun Ce's brows furrowed slightly.

Since the test run of his business bureau, although everything is developing in a good direction, the amount of paper used has suddenly increased.

Inventory and writing are fine, but printing is a huge problem!

In today's printing, every booklet has to produce an engraving, which simply cannot meet his large consumption.

Not to mention that Ling'er will help release more official news in the future.

You can't rely on the guards to pass it all on.

The amount of such a secret guard is too large, and it will always be tired.

"Why don't you go to the secret guard?"

While thinking about it, Gongsun Ce suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Since Ye Yu can get high-level things like muskets from the place where the secret guards are engaged in research and development, is it possible to help solve this problem?

"That's right! Guards! ”

Gongsun Ling'er suddenly realized that she was so busy that she hardly had time to think about things these days.

After changing his clothes, Gongsun Ce and Gongsun Ling'er went to the secret guard yamen.

The current secret guard yamen is completely different.

Although the hunting ground is still a hunting ground, they have special passages for easy access and exit.

As long as you show the warrant, you can travel unhindered.

"What is this?"

Before entering the secret guard yamen, Gongsun Ling'er saw the big house on the side, although it was not as big as the palace, and it was not as grand as the palace.

But the space is not small, and there is a constant clanging sound inside.

"I don't know, let's go find Zhang Daren first."

Gongsun Ce looked puzzled, after all, he hadn't seen this thing before.

"Lord Gongsun, long time gone."

Zhang Ye learned that Gongsun Ce was coming and greeted him personally.

"I'm now President Gongsun. It's not the same as being an official. ”

Gongsun Ce smiled and spoke, "It's just that the virtuous son-in-law is not here, and I will help on my behalf." ”

"Lord Gongsun is experienced, so there is no need to be modest."

Zhang Ye smiled and talked.

"Zhangye, what is that?"

Gongsun Ling'er said, pointing to the big house on the side.

"This is a factory contracted by His Highness's order ministers, capable of large-scale production of guns, called, the first gun factory in the Southern Dynasty."

Zhang Ye explained, "The amount of weapons that the army needs in the future will be very large, and His Highness feels that it is not efficient enough to rely on such a small place as the secret guards. ”

"I see. So production should be fast? ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce had an answer in his heart.

If the gun factory could dedicate a part of the craftsmen to make the engraving print, it would be much faster.

"Indeed, I wonder what happened to President Gongsun?"

Zhang Ye nodded and asked.

"Yo, Gongsun Ce?"

Ye Xiong was about to leave, but he saw Gongsun Ce come in.

"You...... You're not dead? ”

Gongsun Ce looked surprised, "Could it be ......?"

"Old in-laws, you were also deceived by my son?"

Ye Xiong smiled all over his face, "Come on, come on, you have to experience my son's things." ”

"Your son, but you have given me a burden."

Gongsun Ce said with an embarrassed smile.

I didn't expect Zhennan Wang Yexiong to live here for a long time?

"Oh, I think I've heard, isn't it?"

Ye Xiong nodded, "I have to rest." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Gongsun Ce to the shooting range, "Come, shoot two shots with me." ”

Ye Xiong, who has nothing to do every day and watches Ye Yu's novelty every day, enjoys it.

"I, I'm just a scholar, and I don't understand how this weapon is ......."

"Bang!"

Before Gongsun Ce could finish speaking, Ye Xiong fired a shot, and then reloaded the bullet.

"It's easier and easier to use than a bow and arrow."

Ye Xiong said, teaching Gongsun Ce to shoot like a teacher teaching a student.

Of course, Gongsun Ce was not a soldier, and after firing two or three shots, he couldn't stand the recoil.

"Eh, by the way, what are you doing here to guard the yamen?"

Ye Xiong, who had been playing for a while, remembered that Gongsun Ce seemed to have something to do.

"It's for the printing thing."

Gongsun Ce put down the gun, rubbed his shoulders, and then said the problem of engraving printing.

"It's a real problem."

Listening to what Gongsun Ce said, Ye Xiong also frowned.

When he was still there, how the Jia Dynasty came, he roughly came, at most he made minor adjustments in details.

It mainly depends on the concerted efforts of the Southern Dynasties to make things happen.

But now that his son Ye Yu wants to reform, he has never heard of all kinds of things, especially this so-called propaganda department.

In the past, it was enough to let the Ministry of Rites release some news by default, but now it is not only necessary to release the news, but also to publicize it, and to use secret guards to convey the news to at least every person.

The soaring difficulty has also caused problems with a series of previous measures.

"By the way, ask my advisor."

Ye Xiong became interested, so he thought of Mr. Wenzhu, who was participating in the research of some delicate things.

His interest was in these weapons and the so-called railroad, and Mr. Wenzhu's interest seemed to be in the so-called inventions of the warlocks.

After the management of these professional warlocks, blasting has become a relatively mature technology.

At this time, Mr. Fumitake was working underground with the warlocks on a new type of gunpowder.

"Although this material can produce an explosion under a strong impact, the amount is too small, and it needs to be hit very strongly."

"That's right, Mr. Wenzhu, if you do this, you will destroy the locking structure of the firearm."

"A few shots at most, and it's not easy to do, we can't embarrass the craftsmen, right?"

A few warlocks are breaking through the cracks.

They were still working tirelessly on the "firing gunpowder" proposed by Ye Yu at that time, which could produce a large number of sparks and explosions after being touched.
