I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 193 One pot stew (continuing to the first of the fifth)
Ever since he demonstrated stamping with Su Song that time, Zhao Xi has never paid attention to the follow-up.

During this period of time, apart from accompanying his father to deal with government affairs and impregnating his three women, he spent time in the military prison.

The longer the soaking time, the more Zhao Xi felt that he was too relaxed about the matter of the military supervisor.

How should I put it, this Military Weapons Supervision has no plan at all, basically it comes as it is convenient.

For example, for those who make iron nails, because bed crossbows are used a lot, the iron nail workshop is next to the bed crossbow workshop.The arrow shaft workshop is next to the arrow workshop.

This is understandable, at least it is suitable before Zhao Xi takes over the Military Weapons Supervision, and it is indeed conducive to improving efficiency.

The problem is that after Zhao Xi takes over the Military Weapons Supervision, in addition to these traditional weapons, gunpowder will be produced.

Although there are some gunpowder workshops in the current military supervision of the country, they are completely different from the gunpowder in the guard camp.

If the gunpowder of the Armory Supervision exploded, it would be no different if it caught fire at most. However, if the gunpowder depot currently used by the guard battalion exploded, it is likely that part of the Armory Supervision would be directly razed to the ground.

In Zhao Xi's concept, the gunpowder workshop should not see any sparks, not even the ironware.

Even in the guard camp, it is also in a corner, away from other workshops in the entire guard camp.

Expand production?well!What a sad person.What's more, there are residential areas around this military weapons inspection...

Fortunately, Su Song has something to comfort him.

Zhao Xi originally came to ask others for advice, but what Su Song did really shocked him. He deserves to be the most educated scholar in the world.

Su Song actually applied the method of rolling to the coin cakes.

"Your Highness, if you use a bobbin cart, the water flow is strong enough, and the bobbin cart is suitable for connection..."

Su Song is from the south, and he is very familiar with bobbins. The key is that he is also a mechanical expert.

Originally, the armor of the guard battalion was all made by manpower, that is, hammered one by one, and then polished by people.

Zhao Xi had the matter of coins in his mind, and he didn't even bother to think about the equipment of the Imperial Guards, and the court was even less anxious about it.

It is precisely because of the coins that Su Song thought of this, and at the same time solved the problem of mass production of armor.

This is the military supervisor... Zhao Xi found that he was also at a dead end, and he was not as broad-minded as Su Song.

Since the current military weapons monitor is messy, I might as well rebuild it myself, and coin making also needs hydraulic power...

Bianliang is the capital of four waters, but all the water flowing into the city is the same as the temperament of the courtiers... There is no slowest, only slower.

Therefore, Zhao Xi had to wander around Bianliang City.

Armament monitoring is definitely not an external device, especially when it comes to the production of gunpowder.

On this point, the entire court should be consistent.

"On New Site Preparation and Construction of Firearms Supervision" This is a statement that Zhao Xi took to the court, and when the result was announced, there was another round of quarrels.

"Your Highness, there are laws and regulations for the imperial court's expenditures. The money and food for the construction of the firearms prison cannot be supported by the imperial court for the time being, so it can be put on hold for now..."

"The border has been at peace for several years, and the power of firearms is so powerful that it is against the peace of heaven, so it's worth not doing it. For the survival of the kingdom and the friendship with the barbarians on the border, we should use kingly instead of domineering, and get more help..."

"Your Highness, the Military Weapons Supervisor cannot be set up outside. It is an ancestral system and must not be sent abroad. Moreover, Zeng Xianggong's "Wu Jing Zongyao" can also be produced in the Military Weapons Supervisor. Why spend money and food to send the Military Weapons Supervisor?"

"To be correct, my gunpowder formula cannot be compared with the formula of His Royal Highness's guard battalion. In view of the habit of gunpowder, Gong Liang believes that what His Highness said is the most reasonable."

Zeng Gongliang is familiar with and understands the habits of gunpowder, and his statement is very pertinent.However, he only mentioned the habit of gunpowder. As for money and food... this is indeed a problem.

"Your Highness, what the ministers said is true. Nowadays, it is a common practice for the imperial court to eat their own grain. The money and grain are not enough. In recent years, the quality of money has been unequal, so that the court has no money to use. Yan Guo thinks that His Highness can mine the copper mine first, and After making coins and filling the left and right treasuries of the court, we will discuss the matter of armaments."

Who would have thought that in a country full of flowers and brocades, the scholar-bureaucrats with bells and lanterns, but guarding a court that eats enough food.

Zhao Xi seldom asked about money and food, and I heard Tao Niang mutter that sometimes what the father and mother rewarded had to be withdrawn from the East Palace.

I thought it was the little daughter-in-law who loves money, but from this point of view, the court really doesn't have much wealth reserves.

Zhao Xi really didn't want to push it out all at once, not because he wanted to hide it, but because he was worried that there would be endless arguments again.

But Fu Bi said that to this extent, in view of his approval of Fu Bi, Zhao Xi had no choice but to... simply cook it all together.

and so……

"This……"

Fu Bi looked at the coins that Zhao Xi handed him... He was also considered a lover of gold and stones, and had collected coins from past dynasties, but he had never felt the way His Royal Highness gave him.

This is no longer a simple coin, it can almost be called an appreciation.

"Gold, silver and copper? What's the value? How about the exchange?"

"Copper coins are like the money made by the country, one penny; silver coins are one thousand pennies; gold coins are exchanged for silver coins, copper coins are one million..."

Zhao Xi had no intention of playing tricks like [-]% off or [-]% off.Coins are credit, and what is needed is recognition, not its own value and exquisiteness.

As for what others think and how to use it, Zhao Xi will let the facts tell them what is the most correct value of coins, and how to store and use coins is the correct way.

Man is a very strange animal. It is not that you tell him what is right, and he thinks it is right.Especially these pretentious scholar-bureaucrats, no one thinks that they are no worse than others. Zhao Xi doesn't like preaching, especially with stubborn people.

Watching the new coins circling in the hands of the court princes, and seeing the greedy expressions of each...

Zhao Xi could guess what he was thinking about.Isn't it just going to be piled up in your own warehouse?Well, very well, let them understand.

"Your Highness, is it possible for this coin to be mass-produced now? Can the money supervisors in various parts of the country mint coins? When will the court be able to use it?"

Look, look at this one anxious.

"Your Majesty, gentlemen, this is a sample coin. It has been taught by Su many times, and it is made with the method of making armor in the guard camp. It can last for many years, and it can be stored for many years even in a humid place."

Don't you like hiding money?You can hide this money, and it will not rot or rust...

"However, if new coins are to be mass-produced, corresponding workshops are bound to be required. At the same time, since the production of new coins involves the formula and craftsmanship of guard battalion armor, muskets, tigers, and cannons, given that the military supervision of the State Dynasty cannot produce Chen For example, the money supervisors of the Guochao are not suitable for making new coins for the time being."

"Xi's report in the court hall was to prepare for the construction and relocation of the Military Weapons Supervision. In fact, it was a new currency workshop... that is, Bianliang Qianjian. It is a collection of armor, gunpowder, firearms, coin making, and traditional weapons. A large workshop city integrated into one."

Don't you all like to be in trouble?Seeing that the new currency is good, Zhao Xi didn't intend to make it difficult for everyone.

Be willing, let's see how the courtiers will choose.
