"His Royal Highness, the next one should be King Yong."
The feast was over, and King Wei went down to the palace surrounded by his personal guards. At this time, Zhan Xingchang suddenly said to Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming nodded, this time letting himself be taken advantage of to defend Cangzhou, he would definitely not do it without sufficient benefits.
From south to north, from east to west, he wants to blackmail everything. Even if he doesn't come, the letter must be gone. At this time, he will be allowed to buy coal and iron with money. It is a treacherous courtier.
He can use this to go to Xiao Wenxuan to complain.
"Yes, King Yong, King Zhao, King Yan, etc., don't let any of these people go, write all letters, whoever doesn't give it, let's send papers to Chang'an." Xiao Ming said.
His memorial stated that he would take money to buy it, but the premise was that other vassal kingdoms would send troops to support him, and now he was alone, and he would not give money for his life, who would be willing to be taken advantage of.
Zhan Xingchang smirked for a while, and said: "His Royal Highness, leave this to me, I am not afraid that these vassals will not spit out something."
still had confidence in Zhan Xingchang, a bad-minded counsellor, Xiao Ming. He said, "Go, if it is really done, the king will have a lot of rewards."
In response, Zhan Xingchang, Pang Yukun and others went to the Dudu Mansion.
Xiao Ming then went to Qingzhou City. This time King Wei came to Qingzhou City, he would certainly also inquire about Qingzhou City, and he had to let Li three guard a little bit.
Especially the gun mold being manufactured by the Equipment Division.
Before playing Chang'an, he had called Chen Qi to study the issue of the artillery model day and night.
Judging from the current situation, he must not be able to build bronze cannons, and he cannot build a few cannons even if he collects the copper of his entire fief.
Bronze cannons are also choking. One copper, one lead and tin Qingzhou do not have any reserves. After thinking about it, he can only produce cast iron cannons.
Although cast iron guns are not as tough as bronze guns and bronze guns, they are easier to burst.
But if you want to produce more cannons in such a short time, you can only do this.
After all, after blast furnace ironmaking and crucible steelmaking, Qingzhou's steel output has increased significantly.
Moreover, the cast iron cannons in the science and technology library have ready-made knowledge reserves. He does not need to go through the initial exploration of the cannon development, but directly uses mature casting technology to produce cast iron cannons.
But even so, some technical problems still cannot be overcome, and the success rate of cast iron guns is estimated to be only three to four in ten.
In other words, if ten guns are produced, only three or four usable guns can be successfully obtained, because many of the barrels of cast iron guns will explode due to thermal expansion and contraction during the cooling process.
The internal mold water-cooling technology that guarantees the gun barrel technology is definitely not realized at the current level of Qingzhou, at least it can only be considered after the appearance of the steam engine.
As Xiao Ming thought, Wang Wei would naturally not be honest when he arrived in Qingzhou City. Wei Wang's men were everywhere in Qingzhou asking about "interesting things" in Qingzhou these days.
Of course, these people get the most things for the rich family, followed by newspapers, glass, and other new things.
"Newspaper? Interesting."
There are so many newspapers in Prince Qi's Mansion that King Wei easily asked Xiao Ming for a copy and read it.
Xiao Ming is now with Wei Wang next to his body, trying to let this restless emperor uncle settle down.
Instead of asking him to inquire, it is better to show him what he can show him.
"If you like Uncle Three Emperors, you can also try it in the fief." Xiao Ming said, he is now digging a hole for King Wei to jump in.
He was able to distribute newspapers because of type printing and mature papermaking technology.
"This can be avoided, but it is the same as the notice at the gate of the city."
Wei Wang is not stupid either. The handwriting on this newspaper is exactly the same. Obviously it was not copied by the scholars one by one.
This Xiao Ming obviously has a special way, but he is not interested in this thing. For him, it makes no sense to let the people know so much.
glanced at the newspaper, Wang Wei picked up the glass on his hand and looked at it again, "My nephew, this time the Barbarian race going south, I am afraid it will have a big impact on your business."
Qingzhou is facing wars. Generally speaking, merchants will seek good luck and avoid harm, especially these merchants are mostly people in front of the kings.
It’s just that now Qingzhou’s business not only shows no signs of dying, but it also seems to be hotter than before.
These businessmen who were worried about the war thought that if Qingzhou were to fall, these products in Qingzhou would inevitably become exquisite products, but it would have caused the prices of various commodities to soar.
"Indeed, it is not small. These days, my Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of extra money. There are also a lot of grain, copper, iron cloth and so on that are used to offset the silver. Because of this, my nephew dares to guard one. Guard this Cangzhou City."
Wang Wei felt a burst of anger, and he didn't know what kind of evil this kid had been caught. Now he is very lucky.
, on the contrary, it’s me.
"This glass is really good. I also want to buy some back this time. I don't know how many nephews have?" Wei Wang took the opportunity to change the subject.
As soon as glass was put into production, it formed a scale, and the craftsmen were skilled in production. The production was very fast. Qingzhou now has a lot of inventory.
He said, "Uncle Three Emperors want how much?"
Wang Wei nodded. He couldn't put it down with this glass. When going back this time, he plans to use a lot of glass to decorate the palace.
But he also heard that the price of this glass is not low~EbookFREE.me~A glass bottle is at least twenty or thirty taels of silver.
In fact, the reason why Xiao Ming accompanied Wang Wei has another purpose, that is, to let Wei Wang quickly return to the land and send people such things as coal and carbon.
Having seen Qingzhou’s new gadgets, Wang Wei was also somewhat satisfied, but he also understood that the real secrets of Qingzhou were in the equipment department, and no one outsider had entered this place so far.
"Well, I will let people prepare silver for some glass, and let them raise iron and coal to Qingzhou City by the way." Wei Wang said slowly.
called a guard, Wei Wang said a few words to him, the guard turned and left.
Then King Wei said to Xiao Ming: "My nephew, if the barbarians break through the city of Cangzhou, it would be a pity for you, the prosperous place of Qingzhou. This soap, glass, and fine wine will all become exquisite products. It will also be ruined, and then, no matter how much you sell, there will be nowhere to sell."
"The three emperors are absolutely right." Xiao Ming said lazily.
This is also the fundamental reason why he wants to defend Cangzhou. Now the Great Yu country cannot be chaotic. If it is chaotic, where can his goods be sold, and how can he build his own fief without money?
At least this time, he and Wei Wang have the same goals, that is, for their respective purposes, to temporarily maintain the balance of Great Yu.
The two were talking, and suddenly Aster called out "Your Highness."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ming asked.
"A man who claimed to be Luo Xin outside the door asked to see His Royal Highness. He said that he was the son of General Luo Quan."
"Puff!" Wei Wang, who was drinking water, spit out all the tea in his mouth~EbookFREE.me~Book friends are welcome to visit and read. The latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~www.mtlnovel .com~For mobile phone users, please go to read.
