I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 213
In the past six months, Li Jie has been on the construction site again. He knows that the matter is urgent... The jobs he accepts are all the jobs that His Royal Highness is imminent.

Fortunately, these workshops are not palaces, and do not require refinement, and Li Jie also knows where they are.With the cooperation of the supervisor, when Qian Jian's workshop was completed, the bobbins were also properly equipped.

Then, Su Song took care of the gadgets that he had been thinking about for a while, and equipped them.

His Royal Highness said that mass production is the only way to reduce costs.

The guard battalion is now pouring out new coins, Su Song thinks that it is already very profitable, but His Royal Highness said that it is still far away...

Therefore, Su Song also wanted to verify the scale production that His Royal Highness said.

"Your Highness, the copper stored by the Military Weapons Supervision can last at most three months."

Facts have proved that His Royal Highness is right again.

The raw materials have not changed, and at the same time, the same craftsmen, the new coins made by the same craftsmen have increased by five times compared with the original guard camp.

If the new currency is simply used as a commodity, it will indeed change quite a lot.

That is to say, excluding the cost of raw materials, the current Bianliang Qianjian may generate three or four times the original profit for every new coin produced.

It's the copper mine...it can't support it.

"Let's invite the imperial court. The new currency has been launched recently, and the imperial court should also estimate the amount of copper mines used."

As for the small matter that the copper content of the new coin is different from that of the old coin, there is no need to let the princes of the court know.

Anyway, the delicacy of the new coins is not comparable to that of the old coins. They are not comparable to the old coins in terms of toughness, anti-corrosion, and anti-imitation, etc., and they have a high degree of market recognition.These are enough.

There is no way, even with the great talent of Li Jie, Zhao Xi can't push forward the construction of the new transportation line.No money!

I don't know if it's because I'm too anxious to search for the spare money of the ministers, or if I can't see the profit after the track is formed.

From the beginning of the Southern Expedition, three mines of manganese, copper, and iron were prepared to be built, and a woolen thread was added later. It should not make these ministers and workers who have been treated preferentially for many years run out of spare money, right?
The military supervisor belongs to the imperial court, and the money supervisor also belongs to the imperial court. This Zhao Xi insisted that merchants must not be allowed to intervene.

The problem is, Zhao Xi sent people away, not only the Beijing officials, but even the guard battalion greeted those close to him like they were planning to build a copper mine.Unfortunately, no one is funding it anymore.

Therefore, for the matter of building a new transportation line, Zhao Xi had to carry it alone.

The old six companies also got involved, but it was a drop in the bucket... The construction of this transportation line really can't be done with a couple of dollars.

Even Liu Yi complained to Zhao Xi about that thing called ice cream, even the formula can't sell much money.

Therefore, Zhao Xi also knew that her own woman was also reluctant to put money out.

There is no way, everyone in this era thinks that looking at it is money.

As a last resort, Zhao Xi made a fuss about the new currency.

"Did Uncle Hui say when the new miners will arrive?"

"Two more months."

Alas, the sequence was wrong.

Zhao Xi originally thought that managing water transportation was not a difficult task, after all, it was a thankless business, but he didn't expect that there were so many tricks in it.

When I was in Syria, I spread out the members of the copper mine, and quickly collected the money and food for the construction of the copper mine... If you keep holding money and do nothing, you will definitely be talked about, and you will lose your character.

Therefore, the preparations for the construction of the copper mine are put ahead.

Then, no matter whether it is the Military Weapons Supervision or the Money Supervision here, the imperial court is staring at it. The houses have already been sold, and it is impossible to justify not building them.

The only thing is the shipping route.

Zhao Xi knew that this was forcing him to continue with the original water transportation, so that he could have a legitimate claim of attrition.

"The copper stored in the military department should be almost consumed, right?"

Chatting is a way to relax when dealing with official business, especially talking about things that you can see clearly but others worry about.

Just like now.

"Ming Zhong knows a lot about military inspectors..."

Zeng Gongliang is a good man, he couldn't bear to see His Highness the Prince's joke like this.

"Four more tiger crouching cannons were cast, and the Military Weapons Supervision Department doesn't have much copper reserves. Judging by the new coins issued by the court, there should be very few left."

Zeng Gongliang did understand that the third department's case was in charge of military equipment construction, and before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince delineated military equipment construction, it was Zeng Gongliang's business scope.

"There are no new coins in the East Palace?"

"Even if there are, there are only a few. And Liu Yi in Neiyuan sells new sweets, and he also asks for new coins. If you want to come to the East Palace, there is still a shortage of new coins."

"That is to say, is the memorial of the new Qianjian accurate?"

"Absolutely! The people outside Beijing are already quarreling. Now that the Qianjian has been completed, the Dongchuan Copper Mine has not been moved..."

Fu Bi wanted to continue, and besides, it should be the purpose of some people.Just paused...

"How much loss can be tolerated when transporting new coins by water?"

Anyone can see it, and it should be obvious.Wen Yanbo took Fu Bi's words and simply broke the news.

This is obviously forcing His Royal Highness to continue on the original route.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also sent someone to ask about it, but Wen Yanbo did not agree.He didn't think His Royal Highness's plan was feasible, and he didn't want to get stuck with those along the water transport route either.

So I shirked it by investing in wool spinning.

But he is not prepared to allow Water Transport to play too much on the new currency.There must be a limit to everything, especially now that the mintage of new coins has not increased and the market is tight, the court must not enlarge the opening.Otherwise, the court will be in chaos again.

"Half success! As a last resort, the state capital along the road and the forbidden army can intervene..."

Although Fu Bi said so, he also knew that it might be difficult.

Since the beginning of the dynasty, the water transportation of the Bianhe River has been independent of the government at all levels, and has been involved in many states along the road.

Not to mention the fact that there are independent water transport generals, even the battlegrounds along the road are in response to water transport orders... after all, they rely on water transport for their food.

Therefore, Fu Bi also knew that even if the state capital along the road and the forbidden army were mixed, it would only increase the loss in the end.

Alas... Guochao is everyone's Guochao, but they don't take it seriously as their own business.

The court agreed and cooperated quite well, and directly allocated some copper ingots from the general supervisor.

This is the most suitable method, and it is most suitable for Qian Jian to receive the copper ingots directly.

But Zhao Xi really didn't like the copper ingots refined by Guochao Bronze Supervisor.

It is these copper ingots that must be returned to the furnace for re-refining when they arrive at Qianjian.Therefore, when Zhao Xi was preparing to build the Military Weapons Supervision and the Money Supervision, he directly built a systematic and complete production chain.

This is why Li Jie is interested.

This is not building a workshop at all, it is more like building a new city.

"How long can it last?"

Time is tight, really tight.Working with His Highness the Crown Prince seems to be on the road every day, and I don't want the scholar-bureaucrats of the country to live a leisurely life.

"Your Highness, it can last for half a year, or it may not be. Nowadays, craftsmen are not familiar with the overall manufacturing process. Once they are proficient, it may only take four to five months."

Really tight!

"Ming Zhong, can you get out of the construction of the Military Weapons Supervisor?"

The track is newly built, Zhao Xi still wants Li Jie to take the lead, and Su Song has to stay here to take care of it.Many of the facilities were created by him. If others can't come, even Zhao Xi can't do it himself.
