Section 200 This king only cares about the fourth result]
The banquet was a bit chaotic, and Li Yuanxing was really afraid of overdoing it. Some things were a little bit new. This was the Tang Dynasty Emperor's Association, so naturally he had to be a little cautious.
After the dance costume display at the Brocade Silk Chamber of Commerce, Li Yuanxing signaled not to do it again.
But in fact, even under Li Yuanxing's prohibition, Wu Zhao did things in the dark.
For example, the bowls, chopsticks and plates provided are different for everyone and are fine porcelain from different workshops.
Then there is wine, which is also a different wine.
This wine Wu Zhao will never let go, because this wine contains the winery invested by Qinwangzhuang, Daqin Wine.
Under Li Yuanxing's explanation, Li Er finally figured out how many chores had been done here, but it was still fresh when he saw it for the first time. He didn't blame anyone, he just laughed it off.
The banquet that night lasted almost all night.
The first half of the night was like a palace banquet. After Li Er left to rest, in the second half of the night, even the people from the trading company boldly entered the venue and handed out "business cards" to the foreign envoys. This card came from Wu Zhao
The originality is printed by Cui's Bookstore.
Compared with modern business cards, except for the inferior paper, the rest are excellent.
But it is more elegant than ever. Every word is written by a famous artist, and coupled with paintings, it is a small work of art.
Li Er was drunk, drunk with satisfaction.
Li Yuanxing was not drunk because he didn't drink at all. What was in front of him was just a jar of water.
In the reception room of Li Yuanxing's inner courtyard, Li Yuanxing and Li Jing were sitting at the top, while Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong and others were at the bottom. In front of them were three pairs of armors, three knives, and a map.
At the same time, in the Qin Wangzhuang Campus, the second largest tent after the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, a group of civil servants headed by Wang Jishan, Cui Dunli, Cui Junsu, Changsun Wuji, and Wei Zheng also gathered together. Their purpose
Very, very simple.
They were discussing how to get more benefits from the grassland.
Regardless of the distribution of the various families in the Tang Dynasty, first of all, the tribes in the grassland are talking about it. They believe that there are also connections between the tribes, and they are also studying it.
If interests are replaced by the greatest interests, in the name of the imperial court, all merchants have been warned, no matter what the business is, they must act in a unified manner and obey orders. Everything is based on the principle of the overall interests of the Tang Dynasty.
The trading houses dare not not listen. First of all, they are the people and cannot fight with the officials. Secondly, behind the trading houses are nobles and nobles, they have to listen. In the end, only when the overall interests rise, can their interests be able to
There is a guarantee. And whoever dares to undermine the overall interests first, let alone the conflicts between various chambers of commerce, even the government will not let them go.
The generals on Li Yuanxing's side have not yet remained silent. Everyone is just observing the three armors and three swords.
Zheng He has been here three times, and each time he invited Li Yuanxing to come on behalf of the civil service group.
After Li Yuanxing refused for the third time, he said: "I don't care, tell them. Benefits, everything must be maximized. The immediate benefits are benefits, and the long-term benefits are also benefits. As long as I get results, I don't need a pound of wool, and sheep."
They can't get the milk, but I can give it to them within two years!"
Zheng He took the order and went. Li Yuanxing believed that if such words were heard, Zheng He would definitely not come here again.
"Those bastards are too greedy!" Old Devil Cheng was the first to shout.
Li Jing smiled coldly: "How can the little fish in the field compare with the fish in the rivers and seas! How can the frog in the well know how vast the world is!"
"You're so angry, I don't understand!" Old Devil Cheng said.
Li Yuanxing smiled, Li Jing smiled, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and many generals present also laughed. Qin Qiong pulled Cheng Motou to a chair: "His Royal Highness King Qin decides everything!"
"I don't have any say. You can't make money with money. However, the directions of interests are different. Some money can be made, and some money can't be made. When it comes to things like wool, everyone sitting here is just like me, they are too lazy to worry about it.
People, wool is a delicate job, the more careful you are, the more you can earn."
"The King of Qin is wise!"
"Don't talk about my wisdom, let's talk about the milk powder first. There must be someone with a reliable mind to guard the grassland. Li Ji is a handsome man, and it will be wasted if he stays there. I am going to transfer him back to train troops, and then choose another person."
No one objected to Li Yuanxing's words.
Who is a strong general, who can charge into battle, and who can lead an army? All the people present have experienced hundreds of battles, so they naturally know it well.
Qin Qiong considered himself a fierce general who rushed into battle, but Li Ji was a wise general.
"Go to Duan!" Yu Chigong recommended Duan Zhixuan.
Li Jing also nodded: "It's feasible, but there is one more thing. What about the escort and transportation of this wool?" Li Jing was right. In the future, the wool will actually be divided among the major families and transported back to the customs from outside the customs. At least
We have to enter Shuofang City and get on the boat, and then we'll be done with it.
"I don't care about this matter, as long as I and the army are satisfied!"
What Li Yuanxing meant was that Duan Zhixuan should go and talk to the aristocratic families on his own. This is business, so it has nothing to do with the Prince of Qin's Palace. If it's too much or too little, the Prince of Qin's Palace won't see this little money.
Duan Zhixuan stood up and bowed: "I think you've got an extra meal for the sergeants!"
"Besides, select capable generals and set up at least ten racecourses. This is not only a matter for the Prince of Qin's Palace, but also a state matter. Brother Yao, please stay in the court and discuss it later!"
A racecourse is a must. Li Yuanxing doesn’t need to say it. Now that the treasury has money, at least ten of them are needed.
After talking about these two things, Li Yuanxing came to the three pairs of armors and patted the first one: "This thing is called plate armor. Needless to say, even the generals don't like it."
"It's fine, it's fine steel!" Cheng Motou spoke before everyone else again.
Li Yuanxing laughed: "This one melts and gives Lao Cheng a knife!" Smiling, Li Yuanxing suddenly became serious: "I want one hundred thousand kilograms of fine steel a year, I don't know what Senior Brother Yao thinks
?”
Li Jing shook his head gently: "Your Highness's goal really puts us in a difficult position. Today in the Tang Dynasty, only 500,000 kilograms of iron are produced throughout the country, less than 10,000 kilograms of steel is produced, and even less refined steel is produced over a hundred times. Your Highness
This fine steel is much better than the fine steel that has been refined for hundreds of years. One hundred thousand kilograms a year is not easy!"
"Yaoxian must be placed under the fiefdom of this king. With Yaoxian, there will be one hundred thousand jins of fine steel in the first year of Zhenguan, and three hundred thousand jins of fine steel in the second year of Zhenguan. There are countless pig irons." Li Yuanxing has no interest in ordinary iron anymore, only refined steel.
Only steel can be used to forge superior weapons, so I only considered fine steel in my mind.
(Note: According to historical data, at the peak of the Tang Dynasty, there were 5,000 tons of steel per year, so the value in the early Tang Dynasty was 300 tons!)
"This matter is planned by someone. Let Lao Cheng be a villain for once." Li Jing was very serious.
If for no other reason than this, he would dare to take action on these 100,000 kilograms of fine steel.
At this time, all the generals stood up: "I would like to be the vanguard!"
"Brother Imperial has already acquiesced, just be aware of the appropriateness. As for whether the fish scale armor or the willow leaf armor is better, I can't decide which one is better. I will make a hundred pairs of each and calculate the cost. At least for practicality, Senior Brother Yao sent someone to test it.
"
There was a law in the Tang Dynasty that no one was allowed to make armor privately, even if it was not a finished product, he would be exiled.
The only possible exception is the Palace of Prince Qin.
What's more, the Qin Palace is only responsible for research, and the actual mass production must be placed in the Ministry of Industry. Therefore, the Ministry of War should naturally be responsible for testing, and it is his business to assign it to the general Li Jing.
The same goes for the three knives. This is an improved long knife. Compared with the horizontal knife, the lowest cost is only about 30%.
"King Qin, even if there are 100,000 kilograms of fine steel, it is not enough to feed a state!" Duan Zhixuan said again, but he did not say another sentence. I don't know how much income there will be from milk powder. It is too difficult to feed a state with that. What's more,
, once Yaozhou was captured, the King of Qin still had tens of thousands of soldiers there who did not need to farm, but only trained. This cost was huge.
"Lao Cheng, Sun Laodao is researching the medicine that saved your life, and it is estimated that it will be ready in a year. Sun Laodao's safety, the safety of this medicine, and the secret of the medicine book!" Li Yuanxing said this and stopped talking.
Cheng Yaojin made an exception and knelt down on one knee, holding the knife in both hands: "If there is a mistake, Lao Cheng will die to apologize!"
Li Yuanxing helped Cheng Yaojin up with both hands: "Old Cheng, this matter is not a trivial matter. I am not cruel. Others don't know, but you should know how powerful that medicine is. With this medicine, the disability of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty was reduced by 80%."
"I will die!" Cheng Yaojin naturally understood that it was the medicine that King Qin used to protect his life.
Li Jing also patted Cheng Yaojin on the shoulder: "Old Cheng, you should take on this important task!" Li Jingxin said, let alone achieving the effect of the medicine Li Yuanxing gave Cheng Yaojin, just one percent can be called
It was a miracle medicine. Li Jing asked the military doctor, and it was just a slight provocation of his fingernail that saved Lao Cheng's life.
If Sun Laodao could refine it, it would be a good medicine if only a handful of it could be used.
"Let's talk about other things, occupying Yaozhou and redistributing it. I am getting married. After the wedding, just before the New Year, I will have a big competition. The twelve guards will select the elite to participate. The competition is about personal ability.
The project will be handed over to you in a few days. I’m tired today, so take a rest!”
After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, no one moved. Li Jing smiled and said: "Wu Lang will leave first. I have something to say to them!"
Li Yuanxing nodded, saluted everyone with clasped fists, and then exited the living room.
In the Tang Dynasty, as long as the King of Qin caused something to happen, it was destined to be a sleepless night for countless people. Li Jing left the military generals behind, and naturally there were many details to explain. With Li Jing in charge, there would be no trouble. When it really came to the critical moment, this great general
The Tang Army God, if you want to be wise and ruthless, you will never be softer than others.
Yaozhou is bound to be won. In the name of the Qin Palace, with the Holy Master backing him up, and with Cheng Motou and Yuchi Heitan at the vanguard, what can Li Jing not dare?
What kind of banquet, what kind of grand ceremony! Li Yuanxing doesn't care much anymore. For Li Yuanxing, the biggest problem is already in front of him.
Big wedding! The big wedding is in one month. This is an upcoming big event. And today, seven future princesses from the Seventh Family were invited to watch the ceremony. Li Yuanxing has not yet entertained them alone. This is a big event right now. (Unfinished)
