Chapter 345 The Prelude to the Industrial Revolution

"Boom-"

At the beginning of September, when the warm current in Japan collided with the Chishima cold currents, there was a roar in the deep mountains of the Shimaku area of ​​Japan.

In the nearest Shimagen County, some of the low Japanese people who come and go are unmoved, and it seems that this sound has long been used to it.

Under this roar, next to the Tianshou Code of Shimane County, a newly built Ming -style courtyard courtyard, a satisfactory book was also placed in front of Lu Jianxing.

Different from the low -level rules and most Japanese buildings, the Ming -style courtyard house is tall and majestic, and Lu Jianxing, who is sitting in the study, is a giant generally existed for the Japanese.

"Thanks for your hard work……"

Lu Jianxing said to several Jinyiwei who had just sat down, and then picked up the book and slowly read it.

This flip, the smile on his face became more and more overflowing.

[Gold 7,2322, four dollars, 277.7717422, silver, 726,437 catties of copper ...]

In the small book, the recorded gold, silver, copper and iron mining volume, let Lu Jianxing know that when His Royal Highness Qi saw this book, he would be very happy.

Therefore, he closed the book and then said:

"As far as the gold is sent to Tianjin Port, silver hair is 2.7 million, 70,000 pounds of copper hair, iron retention."

Speaking, he leaned on a chair, changed a more comfortable posture, and continued:

"The more than 6,000 pounds of copper, and the other collected copper coins were cast into Wanli Tongbao. As for the more than 76,000 silver, they took out the zero to more than 700 or two, and sent one or two to the brothers.

arrange."

"Thank you for the same knowledge!" Seven Jin Yiwei heard the words as soon as possible, while Lu Jianxing said:

"Don't thank me, thank His Royal Highness."

"Once this gold and silver and copper ingot, which is worth more than 3 million, is sent to Tianjin Port, His Royal Highness is happy. It is estimated that in the 76,000 silver, we can also share a share with the brothers of Gongwei Camp."

He said that, and Jin Yiwei below also reported:

"Tongjia, although so, our gunpowder also used only 120,000 pounds, I am afraid that the royal shop to allocate some nitrogen."

"This is not difficult. I will ask His Royal Highness to allocate 300,000 pounds of nitrogen." Lu Jianxing responded disapproved.

Japan, as a country with rich sulfur resources and forest resources, is naturally not worried about sulfur and charcoal used in black gunpowder raw materials, but it is a country with napitz.

Due to the insufficient nitrogen, Japan did not use a large -scale artillery. After all, their nitrate can only depend on imports.

As for the place of import, there are only two places in Daming and Siam.

After all, nitrate is a necessary raw material for making gunpowder. As a nitrogen for exotic products, whether it is diplomatic or military conflict, it is an extremely important resource.

The reason why Oda Nobunaga was able to use firearms on a large scale is also because he obtained a large amount of nitrogen in the international trade port like Pugang.

Therefore, in Japan, as long as it is controlled, it has an extraordinary advantage in the application of firearms.

Just with the start of the "Tomorrow", under the purpose of Zhu Youjian's paper order, Daming almost cut off all the nitrogen trade at the sea at sea.

Because of this, the Tokugawa Iekee and others in the north can only defend at this moment without room for counterattack.

At present, they can only collect nitrogen in the central and northern regions in the middle of the island, but even so, the number of nitrate is still scarce.

The scarcity of the nitrogen is the serious shortage of the gunpowder.

If it wasn't for the Ming army to eat the southern part of the island and Kyushu Island, the Island of Four Kingdoms, Edo City would have been broken.

Right now, Lu Jianxing said that solving the problem of nitigraphy, in fact, helping Yan Siqi and others solve the problem of gunpowder.

500,000 kg of nitrogen, at least 3 million pounds of gunpowder can be made.

These gunpowder was almost the output of the military war bureau for three years during the Wanli period.

However, after Zhu Youjian was restructured, Daming's Liangjing and the Five Army Du Government each had a military weapon branch, the gunpowder branch.

The gun output of the Governor's Governor's Government is between 300,000 and 500,000 pounds, while the two major gunpowder bureaus in Beijing are between 5 million and 10 million pounds, and the Gunproof Board of Nanjing is a

Limited to within 7 million kg.

This is not to say that Daming's gunpowder output can only reach this level, but because there is not such a large demand.

Even if it is the two Beijing and three great gunpowder bureaus, the reason why there is such a large gunpowder is also because it is responsible for supplying firecrackers in the royal store.

The demand for gunpowder in Daming has not been low, and it has sold more than 12 million pounds.

You must know that the Five Army Dudu Mansion fought Annan last year, and the consumption of the defensive frontier also spent four million pounds of gunpowder.

If you have to compare it, the night of the Masahashi Night, the gunpowder spent by the people of Daming is enough for Daming to hit Annan several times.

However, the royal store sells fireworks and firecrackers, and it can profit hundreds of thousands of two thousands of two.

Daming's wealth on the medicine is hard to imagine all countries.

Lu Jianxing also heard that after the Little Western Supervisory Miscellaneous Acting, after qualifying the nitrogen to sellable products, millions of pounds of nitigraphy was snapped up by European businessmen in less than a month.

"I just don't know how much I can make ..."

Lu Jianxing was a little itchy. He was not greedy, but he wanted to make some achievements and let His Royal Highness Qi always have himself under his eyelids.

"By the way, Tongzhi, the recent death and injury of the miners are a bit big, do we want ..."

"Don't care, then retrieve it from the prisoner."

A Jin Yiwei just wanted to report to the miner's death and injury, but Lu Jianxing waved his hand impatiently and motioned him not to say it.

"There are more than 600,000 rebels in the prisons of each county at the moment.

"Yes ..." Jin Yiwei sat down, and Lu Jianxing didn't care about it.

The reason why they can mine more than the minerals that are higher than the Shogunate period is just one aspect, followed by the scale.

At present, nearly 500,000 miners work in minings everywhere. They are people who are related to the Tokugawa Shogunate and the famous people in various places, or the people who transport materials for the shogunate army.

There are more than one hundred million people in Japan, and there are about 7 million in the hands of Daming.

The consumption of the war has reduced the seven million population in Daming's hands to about 6 million, while the proportion of nearly sixths of prisoners also made local rule difficult.

Lu Jianxing was also preparing to go to Zhu Youjian to ask for a migration of hundreds of thousands of victims to come to Japan.

Otherwise, "Northern Expedition", if the army wants to use the local Japanese as the husband, who knows if this group will be rebelled ...

Thinking about it this way, he was not interested in listening to other things, but let everyone leave, and then wrote a sparse, along with immigrants, nitrogen transportation, and gold and silver transportation to Beijing.

Together with Zou Shu, there are more than two hundred large ships.

After a month of trek, the cargo ship finally arrived at Tianjin Port, and the gold and silver copper mines were also taken over by the Dalun Camp in Tianjin Port.

When Zhu Youchang got Lu Jianxing's play, these precious metals just closed the library, and Zhu Youchang looked at the play in his hand, and the smile on his face could not stop.

"Sure enough, it is still comfortable to suffer and hard work ..."

In the Taihang Mountain in the west of Baoding County, Zhu Youcha, wearing a suit, rode on the horse's back, holding a joke with a play.

"Little pirates actually have so many gold and silver, and this gold and silver is enough to issue tens of millions of coins."

Lu Wenzhao rode his horse behind Zhu You, smiled and accompanied.

Behind him, Cao Baiyu, Cao Dingyu, Wang Chengen, Li Zhongzi and others followed, and more than a hundred Xiaoqiwei followed the arch of the guard.

Zhu Youchang went on to the play, and then handed it over to Lu Wenzhao, and took a box -sized box from Lu Wenzhao.

He opened the box, and four coins were placed in the box.

The front of the four coins is the four words "Apocalypse" written by "Lishu". The fonts are excellent, the casting workers are exquisite, and they are uniform. On the exquisiteness, it is more exquisite than many copper coins in the market.

Because the steel template hydraulic pressure is used, the shape of each coin is the same size.

Among the four coins are divided into two silver coins and two copper coins.

The four coins are divided into two major and two small, and they are divided into large and small money. The silver coins of Daping money weigh, about 37 grams.

The shape is still the place of Tianyuan, and the front is the four words of the Apocalypse Tongbao, and the back is marked with one or two. There are also printed flowers under one or two fonts. The workmanship is very exquisite.

This kind of big money is mainly used for trade. The scale of casting will not be very large. Zhu Youjian is preparing to cast about 10 million pieces. The cost is 901 million silver, and it is worth 10 million.

As for the silver coin of the second paragraph, it is made of nine cents, which is made of nine points and one copper.

The third paragraph is copper coin, nine -point copper, one tin, one or two, ten texts, the price of the price, the cost of nine texts and five cents.

The fourth paragraph is the copper coin Xiaoping money, nine centimeters, one tin, one money, one money, one text, the cost of 9 %.

The silver coin is translucent, Xiaoping's money is turbid, and the copper coins are different in size. In fact, the shapes are copper -colored purple red.

The four characters of Qianxian text "Apocalypse" are written from top to right to left to the left, and their text strokes are beautiful. The production is superb, neatly planned, Qian Wenxiuyi, is a very exquisite currency.

With these 720,000 pounds of copper, the coin can be used to cast nearly 13 million yuan of ten -text money, or 130 million pieces of small flat money.

The style of the new money is actually not much different from the previous old money. The only situation is that the coins are sixty more fine teeth, and there are more stamps inside.

Just these two simple anti -counterfeiting methods can avoid most of the fake money workshops in the market.

"Is the gold and silver and copper output geometry of the court now?"

Zhu Youjian turned around and asked Wang Chengen, and Wang Chengen heard the words, and subconsciously found a book from his body.

Zhu Youjian has been busy casting money recently, and Wang Chengen has been carrying relevant documents on his body.
