Chapter 489: What to do if you have no money

It is said that a messenger from Xixia came to the Song Dynasty, saying that the soldiers of Dabai Gaoguo were elite, and there was a threat between words. The emperors of the Song Dynasty did not speak out to counterattack. The sword was broken one after another, but in the end, a famous minister took out his sword and won a game. Unfortunately, his sword was a Japanese sword, which made Da Song lose face.
It can be seen that the iron smelting technology of the Song Dynasty has yet to be developed. I am afraid that it is not enough to produce iron materials that can be used to build gun barrels.
"But this suitable person is probably not a good choice?" Wang Shaomian was hesitant. Compared with building weapons, he wanted to lead the soldiers through the rivers and rivers. Wang Jiao was responsible for corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other high-yield crops. Planting, I am afraid that there is no time for this. As for their children, Wang Hou may be able to, but if their Wang family leads one outside and the other is responsible for the construction of ordnance, I am afraid that the court can not be assured.
"The talents of the Song Dynasty come out in large numbers. It is not difficult to find the ability to be responsible for this matter. Qian Tang Shen Cunzhong and Quanzhou Su Zirong all have this ability." Da Song has not been deeply poisoned by Cheng Zhuli, and many Confucians are quite scientific. Interested, Shen Kuo and Su Song are among the best.
Shen Kuo can be called an all-round talent, and he will be well-known in the future, and needless to say; Su Song has also made considerable achievements in astronomy, machinery, medicine, mathematics, etc., and it is a good idea to let one of them be responsible for this matter. Suitable.
Others include mathematicians Jia Xian, Wei Pu, architect Li Jie, and medical scientist Qian Yi. In addition, today's famous ministers Zeng Gongliang and Cai Xiang have also made outstanding contributions in the fields of tea studies, water conservancy, and military affairs.
"Shen Kuo?" Wang Jia remembered what Shen Long said at the beginning. Those who can make a name in history are not necessarily simple characters. "Shen Cunzhong is now serving as a pavilion colleague at the Hanlin Academy, still in Beijing; Su Zirong is the new empress of Liao Kingdom. It is better for Shen Cunzhong to do this if the mission is not returned. "
"Shen Cunzhong's seniority is slightly inadequate, and this matter will not be decided overnight. By then, Su Zirong should have returned." Shen Long said, Shen Kuo's ability is no problem, but unfortunately his old mother died in August this year, according to In today's habit, Shen Kuo must go home to Ding Youshou for a while, and if he wants to let Shen Kuo do things, he can only wait for him to return.
"So when Su Zirong returns to Beijing, he will come to visit." Wang Jia did not know why Shen Long did not choose Shen Kuo. He just thought he had said this, and he must have his reason. During this time, he was busy going to Xiangzhou to find tortoiseshell. Without too much time to study the history books Shen Long gave, naturally he did not know anything about Shen Kuoding.
I heard that Wang Xueshi ’s inner eyes were higher than the top, but now he is so obedient to Shen Daochang, not like the legendary one, Wang Shao was a little surprised, but when he thought about Shen Longgang ’s movement in the ravine, he was now Figured it out, even the most arrogant person, seeing this scene will become Wang Jiao like this?
Returning to Wang Anshi's home, Wang Anshi has returned. Wang Anshi was very pleased to hear that Wang Shao was visiting the door. After reading the history books, he wanted to meet this military assistant as soon as possible. Today he finally got his wish.
Several people spent dinner together and came to the Wang's study room to narrate. Wang Shao first briefly talked about some of his travels in the northwest and the idea of ​​calming Xixia, and he couldn't wait to talk with Wang Jiao about what Shen Long did today.
"Is there such an artifact?" Wang Anshi couldn't sit still. He always paid attention to long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows. The proportion of crossbowmen in the army is extremely high. Unfortunately, no matter how crossbows have their own defects, bows and arrows The hands are not easy to practice, and training an archer takes a lot of money, and the bow of the arm of the is too laborious. Keeping the city may have little effect, and going out of the city is a bit difficult.
Now Shen Long has come up with greater power than bows and arrows, easier to get started, and more convenient firearms than the bow of the gods. If the Song army can equip such weapons on a large scale, the combat power will inevitably increase.
Shen Long took the musket out again and introduced Wang Anshi to the structure and use of this early musket. Wang Shao and Wang Jiao gave me a glance at the test shooting. "Father, there is With this thing, Xixia's mutton armor can also be penetrated with a single shot, and it is a matter of course to calm down the party and rejuvenate the spirit. "
The mutton armor is Xixia's armor made with cold forging technology. When it is built, it is used to leave the chopsticks at the end of each piece of nails as a piece of non-forging. It is vaguely like a wart on the skin. The force is very good. Once an arrow shot through the small hole in the armor of the mutton armor. The arrow was scraped and the iron was rolled up, but the armor was not hurt. It was a strange talk.
A little further away, the bow and arrow of Da Song could not be penetrated, only the bow of the arm could penetrate, and the northwest frontier of Song Song did not suffer this loss.
"Shen Daochang has promised to pass on the skills of building fire to me to Song, and recommends Su Zirong to take care of this matter." Wang Jiao continued.
"Su Zirong always likes mechanical objects. If he sees this thing, he will like it." Wang Anshi and Su Song seem to have the same age difference, and they are all in the same subject in the two years of Qingli. They know him very well. If the general readers know themselves If you want to take charge of the ordnance construction, you will either feel that you have a fat gap and you will be able to take advantage of it, or you feel that you are being humiliated. This is not the case for Su Song ~ EbookFREE.me ~ He will definitely take care of this matter.
"When Su Zirong returns to Beijing, the baby will go to visit." Wang Xu said.
"Well, please ask Zirong to come and discuss it." Wang Anshi said, frowning suddenly. "Dare to ask Shen Daochang, if you want to create this kind of firecracker, I am afraid it will not cost a lot?"
"This is the same as the sword arm bow. At the beginning, the price of each piece is definitely not low, but the more it will be built later, the cheaper it will be." Shen Long replied, "If you want to build a fire factory, Hundreds of thousands are afraid. "
This is still conservative. I am afraid that Wang Anshi will be frightened. "Of course, these hundreds of thousands of dollars are not taken out at once."
"Even so, the first stroke is probably tens of thousands or even 100,000 yuan? Iron, houses, manpower, oh, and this gunpowder, projectiles, no one needs money!" Wang Anshi began to grow big, big Song redundant officials and redundant soldiers and labor costs, the treasury does not have much savings, it is not easy to want to take out the money.
Moreover, the promotion and popularization of high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes also cost a lot of money. What Shen Daochang puts out is a good thing, but Da Song ca n’t afford so much money to handle these things! But how is it good?
