Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 518 Oil press?
Chapter 518 Oil press?
Zhang Yunji was not a pedantic literati. In fact, in the early Tang Dynasty, there were basically not many pedantic literati.

After all, how long has the troubled times just ended?
A generation has not passed!

Those days of misery are still vivid in my mind!

In this case, to be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself!
Therefore, even if Zhang Yunji was a standard scholar-bureaucrat, he would never think it was a bad thing to use red-clothed cannons against Tibetans.

If the other party doesn't come, naturally they won't be targeted by the red cannon.

But if the other party came, it was to invade Datang. In this case, shouldn't it be appropriate to use any means to deal with the Tubo people? ?
He hurriedly asked: "How do you plan to use this cannon in red? Is it on the top of the city?"

"At that time, put a row at the top of the city." Qin Yang nodded.

In fact, he would rather use it in the car, but after thinking about it, if it is used in the car, if it is inconvenient to drag, it will be a hindrance.

Anyway, if the cannon is placed at the top of the city, it can be fired at the bottom.

If it wasn't for him not being mechanically talented, he actually hoped to have a few machine guns on the walls.

If this thing can be produced, it will definitely be able to be a one-man man!

It's a pity that the firepower of machine guns is too much beyond this era.

Even in the era he lived in, it was an extremely lethal weapon.

have not been completely eliminated.

So he guessed that even if the machine gun would appear, it would not appear in the next year or two.

But Qin Yang thought again, he had enough weapons.

Whether it was the explosive kits produced by gunpowder, land mines, grenades, sea mines, or the muskets and red cannons he got, these few things were enough to make the Tang Dynasty proud.

He is not engaged in military affairs. He can enjoy the benefits of providing these high-level weapons of this era and providing them to people who can fight in Datang.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang introduced to Zhang Yunji the power of the red cannon on land.

Zhang Yunji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he wished he could see the red cannons being produced one after another immediately.

Qin Yang said that the manufacture of the red cannon is not easy, and in order not to let too many people know how to make it, the various parts for making the red cannon are divided into more than a dozen parts, which are handed over to unused craftsmen by Qin Yang manufacture.

And it was Qin Yang himself who assembled the red cannon.

There were not many red cannons that needed to be assembled before, just a few, so Qin Yang finished the assembly slowly without delaying the time.

But now, if it is necessary to make a few more red-clothed cannons, Qin Yang thought of Yu Chiliang and the others again, planning not to waste manpower this time. The matter of the red-clothed cannon naturally allowed them to join in.

These forty people, after Qin Yang's training, most of them were trained by Qin Yang as future backbone members of Youzhou.

Thinking about this, he said to Zhang Yunji: "In addition to the red cannon, I plan to open a military workshop. The military workshop will be set up in Youzhou No. [-] College and become a school-run workshop. After the emperor agrees, it will be expanded into a military workshop." What do you think of the factory?"

"Military factory?" Zhang Yunji shook his head after hearing this, thinking that this matter might not be possible.

He reminded Qin Yang: "The lower official knows that the king wants to prepare for the war, but the Military Factory...the court will not agree."

Originally, the identity of Wang with a different surname was very sensitive.

Therefore, in the territory of the king of different surnames, whether it is the number of troops directly under the king of different surnames or the equipment of the army, there is a quantitative limit.

Once this limit is exceeded, if someone finds out and ginsengs a book, it is very likely that they will end up being considered as intending to rebel.

Zhang Yunji didn't think the court would agree.

Even if Qin Yang is asked to hand over the drawings, and then the court allocates weapons to Youzhou when he needs them, it is impossible for Youzhou to control a military factory.

But the military workshop can be carried out.

One is that the size of the military workshop will not be very large. With the number of troops directly under Qin Yang and the tens of thousands of Cheng's troops who have opened up wasteland in the new third district, such a group of people, each with a set, is extremely large quantity!

As long as there is no factory, just a workshop that can be revoked at any time, or a school-run workshop, nothing will happen.

Anyway, with only the few people in the school, even if people from the army join in the manufacturing, it is impossible to manufacture too many weapons every day.

After quickly thinking about these things, Zhang Yunji said: "Workshops are possible, but factories are absolutely impossible."

Listening to Zhang Yunji's repeated statement that it is impossible for a military factory to be set up in Youzhou, Qin Yang can't help feeling a little bit discouraged.

However, under Zhang Yunji's reminder, he also knew that his idea was indeed unlikely to come true.

Forget it.

He was not silenced for a long time, and he pulled Zhang Yunji again, proposing to launch an oil extraction machine before this winter.

"Oil press?"

Zhang Yunji's surprise this time was no less than the surprise when he knew the red cannon.

You know, Youzhou has always been located in a remote place, and it is a barbaric and poor place that people used to say in the past.

That's nothing!
Salt?That's all coarse salt shipped from other places, and people just buy the slightly bitter coarse salt to eat.

Fine salt?

That is a luxury that only wealthy families can afford!

As for sugar?
It takes some effort even for wealthy families to eat candy, let alone ordinary people's families?

That is to say, the king of Youzhou used sugar beets to make sugar, so that Youzhou can eat a little sugar in recent months.

But because the production volume is not very large for the time being, and it is mainly transported to various parts of the Tang Dynasty in exchange for money, sugar is not sold locally.

But even so, for ordinary people, this thing is not cheap. After buying it, it must be locked in a cabinet, and it will be unlocked during festivals or when relatives come to take it out to make some sugar water for others to drink.

This is a good thing to treat guests like tea.

As for the oil?
This thing is even more expensive!

In the past, how could many poor people be willing to eat oil?
Vendors sell oil on the streets, and most people buy some oil every month. Then every time they cook, they use something with a little oil on it and lightly smear it on the pot.

This is considered a star stained with oil.

As for being able to eat oil every day?For ordinary people, it does not exist!

Even after the king of Youzhou came to Youzhou, he brought great changes to Youzhou, so that every household in Youzhou was full of food, and they could have some money in their hands.

Under such circumstances, the common people are still reluctant to eat a lot of oil!
The most is to eat a little meat every now and then, and pour a little more oil every so often, so that the family can improve their meals!
