Take the mall to Datang

"There are a lot of things to do today, let's do it another day." Yuan Shan said, and then left.

Xin Liangchou, who returned to the Military Weapons Supervision, learned that a big business from Yuanshan had just been acquired in the Military Weapons Supervision Street, and immediately asked people to start building it. In the room, Xin Liangchou led a group of people, including several blacksmiths, to study Yuanshan The three drawings that came over.

The things drawn on the drawings have been identified by the blacksmiths, and they are definitely not things that can be combined together, but these parts must be used on large machines, just like the hammering machines driven by the steam engine used by the military inspector.

Helping his own workshop to solve some parts manufacturing, Yuanshan needs to learn another technology, that is, glass firing technology. Glass firing seems simple, but in fact it requires a high level of industrial technology. The first thing to solve is the problem of the high-temperature furnace. Now there is an automatic and continuous equipment such as a steam engine that can be used to make a fully automatic bellows, so that the furnace can be heated up quickly when firing glass.

Moreover, the automatic bellows can not only play a role in firing glass, but also play a great role in the convenience of iron smelting, but the problem comes again, and the current workshop obviously does not have extra labor to produce these things.

"It seems that the scale of the workshop is going to increase, let's hire someone." Yuan Shan muttered.

Without talking all the way, he quickly returned to Hepingfang Mall, and asked someone to prepare the money to be paid to the military supervisor, and then someone called Yang Shan. He was responsible for finding someone to build the pavilions in Hepingfang Mall, and he got a small sum of money later.

Later, he went to other places, and when he came back, he brought back a large order for cement. But at that time, Yuanjia Manor had closed down the cement kiln, so he could only buy cement from the building materials chamber of commerce, but he did not expect the cement chamber of commerce. The commission for large cement orders is better.

Since it was the construction of a wharf, Yang Shan made a fortune in one fell swoop, earning thousands of dollars all at once, would he still be a man with so much money? The unexpected thing is that he is actually engaged in his old profession. One of the words that he often talks about is that it is easy to achieve results only by working steadily, and relying on a momentary cleverness is unreliable.

"Yuan Shilang, what do you want me to teach you today?" Yang Shan said.

"Look at your complexion, have you gotten rich recently?" Yuan Shan teased.

"No, it's just a little profit, not worth mentioning." Yang Shan said modestly.

"Okay, let's talk about something serious. I need experienced blacksmiths. It's okay to ask for many or find a large blacksmith shop to cooperate with. I'll leave this to you," Yuan Shan said.

Yang Shan was actually in a difficult situation, but he agreed first, and said, "Master Yuan, to be honest, blacksmiths in Chang'an are not easy to find now, I can only go to various states to see, if you are not in a hurry, please allow me some time .”

"No problem, as long as the matter is completed, you will be rewarded generously as before." Yuan Shan said.

Chapter 259 Li Jing Visits

Counting the money made his hands cramp, Yuanshan has made a lot of money in the past two days, the four floors of the Hepingfang shop are all full of money, and the people who are waiting to count the money are very tired.

This is still 40 taels left after people give the general [-] taels to the prince. On the one hand, they are counting the money, and on the other hand, Yuan Shan is planning how to spend so much money.

"Membership consumption card, this must be implemented as soon as possible, why don't you just quit now." Yuan Shan muttered, the ink from the brush was rubbed into his mouth without knowing it, which shows that Yuan Shan is What a focus on work.

"Master, General Li Jing is waiting on the third floor if he wants to see the young master. If I hadn't said that there are female relatives living on the fourth floor, I might rush up." Caiyi said hastily.

"General Li Jing, what is he doing here? There is no place to meet guests here now. Caiyi, you go to the third floor to entertain. Isn't there a drink shop in our place? Let someone clear the place." Yuan Shan said, where is there an elegant seat in the drink area? , a bit similar to a coffee shop, but there are two small tables in a small place, and there is only one place in the mall that can receive guests.

Caiyi immediately went downstairs. Yuanshan really couldn't think of what Li Jing wanted him to do for a while, but whenever he encountered something, he had to calm down. This was his way of dealing with things. Just get ready.

"Husband, wait, see that the ink is all on your mouth, and you still haven't wiped it off." Dugu Ruolan reminded suddenly.

"Haha, Ruolan still cares about me, she didn't even mention that Caiyi, she's really a careless girl." Yuan Shan said softly.

"It's not that Caiyi is careless, it's just that you are perfect in her eyes no matter what, that is the girl you once told me is called a fan girl, no matter what kind of girl you are, you will like that little girl in Caiyi." Dugu Ruolan said.

"Um, Ruolan can't make jokes like that, Caiyi is a good girl, you know me..." Yuan Shan explained, but Dugu Ruolan stopped her before finishing her sentence.

"Husband, don't say this anymore, if you let Caiyi know that she will be sad, you are the head of the family, so don't do it, please don't be willful." Dugu Ruolan said.

"Eh..." Yuan Shan was speechless.

Unexpectedly, Dugu Ruolan's ideological awareness is quite high, but it sounds very feudal, but after she finished speaking, she felt that it was really like this, which made Yuanshan feel that this family conflict seems to be very dangerous in this era. .

It took a while for Yuan Shan to come downstairs. When he saw Li Jing, Yuan Shan cut straight to the point and said, "I kept General Li waiting for a long time. I don't know what's going on today."

"I've been back for two days now, and I haven't seen my two sons come home. I asked the housekeeper to go to Yuanjia Workshop to find someone to say that the work schedule is very busy recently, and they won't go home without you. Today, this old man I came to you about something, and I want to know what ecstasy soup you poured into my two sons. I heard that they haven't returned home once in such a long time, and the housekeeper refused to find someone directly. What's going on? "There was some small emotion in Li Jing's words, it would be strange if Yuan Shan couldn't hear it.

Today, this is my father who came to the door, but Yuan Shan really didn't know that those two guys were so stupid. This father didn't go home to visit him. , Said: "General Li, why did you say that, Dejian and Dejiang were learning skills in my workshop but they didn't let them go home. These two boys are too obsessed with engineering. To be honest, I This teacher can't get rid of the relationship. To develop morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor in an all-round way, it seems that it is obviously inappropriate to let them focus on technology. They must learn from virtue. Don't worry, General Li. Now I Tell someone to prepare a car and go find them in person."

Seeing the sincerity of Yuan Shan's words, Li Jing didn't know why for a while, and then the rhythm was completely led by Yuan Shan. After preparing the carriage, he took Li Jing and went back to the manor. Yuan Shan was not idle along the way. He said in the carriage, "General Li Jing, what do you think of the four-wheeled carriage of my Yuan family?"

"It's spacious and stable, so it must be expensive," Li Jing said.

"It's okay. What the general said is correct, but the most important thing is the bearings of this carriage. I don't know if General Li has heard that all the carriages of my Yuan family use rolling bearings. They are equipped with such bearings. Bearings can make the carriage faster, and you don’t have to worry about the wear of the wheels, because the wooden wheels can be replaced at any time because of the bearing structure, and the load capacity is also increased.” Yuanshan said.

"Yuan Shilang, what do you mean by this? The Yuan family's carriages are also very famous in the army, but they are expensive. In the Tang Dynasty, only His Majesty's Xuanjia Army was equipped with such carriages." Li Jing said.

Yuan Shan was very excited when he heard it. He didn't expect that the bearing carriages of the Yuan family were quite famous. At least Li Jing knew this. There may be some reduction, if General Li wants to customize a batch of bearings, he can consider it cheaper."

Li Jing was a little puzzled. According to what Cheng Zhijie and others said, this Yuan Shan was desperate for money. Wouldn't it be abnormal for him to be able to take the initiative to offer him cheaper bearings?

Seeing Li Jing's expression changed, Yuan Shan said, "Don't worry, the products produced by Yuanjia Workshop must be high-quality goods and won't cut corners, and the price will be much lower if you order in bulk."

Li Jing thought about it, but still said: "No wonder Cheng Zhijie said that you are most interested in money, and you want me to sell your Yuan family's bearings in just a short while, but you made a big mistake, the court has a lot of money We can't afford the bearings you're talking about."

Yuan Shanxin said that Li Jing couldn't be more tactful when he refused people, and he insisted on saying it so directly. Besides, isn't the custom-made military equipment all up to the chief officer? Using the excuse of being poor is really too low-level, but Yuan Shan doesn't want to admit that this is true very effective.

"Hahaha, don't blame General Li, this is an occupational disease." Yuan Shan said with a smile.

"What is an occupational disease?" Li Jing asked curiously.

"Occupational diseases are the effects of engaging in related work. For example, teachers and students will beat people's hands with a ruler when they make mistakes. They are all a group of violent people. Isn't this the impact of occupation?" Yuan Shan said nonsense. , In fact, he wanted to talk about Mr. Teacher sucking dust, but he thought that this is not the case in this era.

Except for a few pieces of black cement walls and chalk that he made himself in the Guozijian, but after all, it has not been used for two days, and who is using it now does not know.

Just as Yuan Shan was muttering about the concrete wall that was made into a blackboard, Wang Xiaotong, who was far away in the Imperial College, suddenly sneezed, shaking those students who were about to fall asleep...

Chapter 260 Centralized Warehouse Budget

Yuan Shan found chatting with Li Jing quite boring. He knew that as a wise general, he would definitely be interested in the art of war, but he just didn't want to talk about it. I am afraid that if you can't say a few words about the art of war, you will be out of your wits, so I don't ask for it.

The journey is still very long, and it will take more than half an hour to arrive. Yuan Shan was about to take a nap in the carriage, but when he was sleepy, he heard Li Jing say: "I heard that the barracks used in the barracks are now You invented the sand table."

"Yes, it's enough to look at the map on a whim, but to be honest, the map in some places is not intuitive, which is easy to cause mistakes in sensory judgments, so I like to simulate the terrain in such a way. The things on the map are truly reproduced, which is very helpful for commanding and studying tactics." Yuan Shan said.

"This sand table is a very practical thing. It can be seen that Yuan Shilang has a lot of knowledge in military affairs. I wonder if I can discuss some military strategies with the old man." Li Jing said.

Afraid of what would happen, Yuan Shan began to beat his heart, and made a decision in an instant, and immediately said: "My trivial military strategy theory is really not worth mentioning. I just developed some firearms and equipment by chance."

Is this modesty? I can't tell that this is Yuan Shan's modesty. This clearly refers to his small achievements in firearms. Li Jing sat down and thought: "Are you talking about Shenwu Cannon?"

Yuan Shan was really surprised. Li Jing knew about Shenwu Cannon just after he came back, and he was indeed Li Shimin's confidant.

"That's right, it is the Shenwu cannon developed by the Military Weapons Supervisor. As an auxiliary thermal weapon, I think it will replace the bow and arrow in the future and give the enemy the most shocking and violent blow." Yuan Shan said.

"Well, it looks like you are very capable." Li Jing smiled.

After chatting casually for a while, the carriage arrived at Yuan's workshop. Everyone inside and outside the workshop was busy. Yuan Shan said to Li Jing, "General Li, please wait for me in the carriage."

Then Yuan Shan walked into the blacksmith workshop. As soon as he came in, he saw a group of shirtless old men forging iron. The two brothers Dejian and Dejiang were also so out of tune. It's killing me.

"Dejian, please come here for the Dejian Award." Yuan Shan shouted.

Seeing Yuan Shan coming, the two put down their work and ran over. Yuan Shan looked like two free laborers, but now he looked like a mad scientist, and his hair was disheveled.
