After talking about these suggestions for improvement, Zhang Zongxian asked Mr. Liu to go to the official artillery factory and iron factory in Beizhili as soon as possible to recruit people.

Now his workshop can build a Crouching Tiger Cannon and not even a Weiyuan Cannon. Even if he wants to give him an order, he can't.

The Liujiangtou deeply agreed and felt that he should have gone to poach people earlier.

Finally, Zhang Zongxian once again placed an order for 5,000 Rumi guns and 50 tiger squat cannons from Liujia Workshop. Due to the large quantity of the order, the price was reduced.

The price for each Rumi gun is four taels of silver, and the price for each Menhu squatting gun is twenty taels of silver.

Before Zhang Zongxian left, he also hinted that Liujiangtou would build a gunpowder factory as soon as possible. The gunpowder now is bought from the border troops. The price is expensive and the quality is uneven. In the future, more and more firearms will be equipped. This will

Gunpowder is indispensable.

After leaving Liujia Workshop, we went to the backyard of the county government office. Zhang Zongxian will not go back to Changsheng Fort tonight. Su'e has been busy dealing with the Taiping matter and has not gone to Changsheng Fort to accompany Zhang Zongxian for two days.

Today happened to be Zhang Zongxian's return to the county government office, so the two of them could spend some time together in the evening.

Su'e returned to the backyard of the county government office and found that Zhang Zongxian was waiting for her in the study. She happily threw away the scarf and ran straight to the study. When she entered the study, she was picked up by Zhang Zongxian and spun around.

It is said that beauties love heroes, and Zhang Zongxian is Su'e's hero. He is very kind to her and never beats or scolds her. He also trusts her very much and allows her to manage such a large industry as Taiping. Although it is very tiring, from a small family Biyu to the current Taiping

The female shopkeeper, Su'e felt the value of her life.

The two cuddled up in bed at night and Su'e told her thoughts.

"Husband, since the opening of the Taiping, the people have praised your benevolence and righteousness. Without the exploitation of those corrupt officials, many people can spend the New Year with peace of mind this winter. It's just that I have to deal with those numbers every day, and I can't accompany you to serve you."

"Mr. Su'e, I am determined to benefit the people of the world. The small Qingjian County is just a experimental field. In the end, I will speak for the people in the court of the Ming Dynasty.

Mr. Su'e, I have no one I trust around me so I can only work hard for you now. You will be much more relaxed after the children in the academy have finished their studies."

"It's not hard for me to be a concubine, and it's Su'e's blessing to be able to share her husband's worries. But it's very inconvenient for her husband to have no one to take care of her. It's better for her husband to get married and stay with her husband to serve him."

Su'e's voice became softer and softer when she said this. Under the education of feudal ethics, although she was not the official wife, she had already assumed that role. She just wanted to consider her husband and didn't want others to gossip about her.

After hearing Su'e's words, Zhang Zongxian could only laugh and said:

"What if I want to marry a new love and don't want you?"

Su'e burst into tears as soon as she heard this. Zhang Zongxian originally wanted to make a joke, but when he saw that Su'e was taking it seriously, he quickly coaxed her. After coaxing Su'e for a long time, she stopped crying.

When he woke up the next day, Zhang Zongxian and Su'e went to the Taiping.

The Taiping Grain Store has always been running very well. People sell their grains at Taiping. Now people from several nearby counties are also coming to sell grain at Taiping. So much so that officials from nearby counties have begun to send people there.

Roadblocks were set up to stop people from selling grain in Qingjian County.

It's just that the bank's lending business has been stagnant, and there are not many people borrowing money.

The common people have long been deceived by those unscrupulous loan sharks. Although there are government officials who guarantee that the interest rates are very low, for the illiterate common people, no matter how good they are, they will not accept it.

Zhang Zongxian didn't have any good ideas at the moment. He couldn't sell it in person. It was not the season for plowing, so it was useless for people to borrow plows.

Zhang Zongxian decided to vigorously promote the loan of wool and spinning wheels first, so that people would trust the bank after eating crabs, and he also increased the reward for Li Zheng. As long as ten households were attracted to lend wool and spinning wheels, Li Zheng would be rewarded with one tael of silver.

Zhang Zongxian is also planning to prepare an exhibition for all the residents in the county to come and see the effect of wool spun into thread and knitted into sweaters. By the way, these residents will be trained on the policies of the bank. The exhibition will be held after the production of fifty spinning wheels is completed.

meeting.

Su'e had invited them several times before but tried to shirk it. This time Zhang Zongxian asked the government servants to come and invite them to see who dared to shirk this time.

After inspecting the Taiping in the afternoon, Zhang Zongxian returned to Changsheng Fort with the wool and immediately organized manpower to start cleaning the wool.

He also asked Hu Zhongxing to lead a few clever outer disciples to be responsible for the specific work of wool cleaning. However, there were too few reliable people around Zhang Zongxian, so he could only rush the ducks to the shelves and let the disciples do it. Anyway, in Changsheng Fort, the disciples had

You can always ask Zhang Zongxian about anything.

After making arrangements, Hu Zhongxing called Liu Jiansheng. Zhang Zongxian planned to ask him to lead a team to Liu's workshop to host steelmaking experiments. After all, it is his family's industry and he has been exposed to this since he was a child. He is the most suitable candidate.

Zhang Zongxian briefly explained to Liu Jiansheng how to use the exhaustive method to conduct experiments. First, each item must be recorded, from the screening and crushing of ore to the size suitable for steelmaking, and how high the temperature in the furnace should be according to the flame without a thermometer.

Color determines temperature.

Can we use coke made from coal to make steel without using charcoal?

Then there is the question of how the various added substances will enhance the performance of the steel produced. If the performance we require is achieved, then we need to find out what is causing it.

How do craftsmen handle the finished steel? What effect will these processes of quenching and covering with soil achieve? Why do they do this?

In short, first observe how the craftsmen make steel, record each step with detailed and accurate numbers, and then conduct experiments based on your own conjectures.

Zhang Zongxian emphasized that they must pay attention to safety, not be eager for quick success, and understand steelmaking step by step. They were asked to go to the workshop for three days and then come back to the college to make up for two days of classes.

After explaining this, Liu Jiansheng was asked to select people from among the outer disciples. The new disciples in the academy have not yet been fully trained. They can only let these outer disciples take over first.

For delayed courses, Zhang Zongxian will arrange make-up classes for them.

According to the school rules formulated by Zhang Zongxian, these disciples will be given corresponding monetary subsidies after they take charge of specific projects. In the future, the inner disciples will all participate in such projects when they grow up.

Anyway, what we are doing is elite education so that these children can learn and practice at the same time, which coincides with the martial arts.

After Liu Jiansheng finished explaining, before he had time to take a sip of tea, he saw Ding Bo running in in a hurry.

It turned out that the capital had replied to the letter. After the money and wine were sent, the Wei Dynasty's father-in-law was very satisfied, but Wei Zhongxian's father-in-law did not send the money because he did not inquire about it.

Eunuch Wei wanted to offer Heavenly Milk as tribute wine to the emperor, but he heard that Heavenly Milk came from outside the Great Wall and was not easy to obtain, so he sent Eunuch Li and his people to see what the Heavenly Milk was like.

Eunuch Li doesn't have much of an impression! He's probably not a historical celebrity. Anyway, he'll be treated well when he comes, and if he's given enough money, he won't be in trouble.

The capital is not close to here. When this letter came, Eunuch Li must have been on his way too.
