I became the son of Renzong

"This……"

Su Song said, pointing to the sample coin in Zhao Xi's hand.

Well, Zhao Xi understands.Understanding is not the same thing at all.

In the production of coins, there is a model first, and then it needs to be melted, rolled, caked, edged, cleaned, dried, stamped, and finally weighed.

At present, some are really impossible.

manpower?Forget it, the production cost of coins cannot be higher than its face value!

"Your Highness, the method of casting cannot achieve the coin type that His Highness said..."

With that said, Su Song took out three more sample coins, which were similar to the current coins.

Can't tell, can't tell.Zhao Xi couldn't understand how Su Song made the sample coins, and Su Song couldn't understand what Zhao Xi said as a model.

We can only go to the guard camp workshop together.There is no Qianjian in Bianliang, and Zhao Xi didn't want to get involved in the current Qianjian.

The so-called presiding over the Qianjian, Zhao Xi has his purpose, and in the end it may be to clean up and rectify the Qianjian in the country.

As for whether he can survive or not, it depends on whether he follows his rules.

When he came to Jiangzuo Prison, Zhao Xi finally understood how such coins came from... It was actually hammered by craftsmen and chiselled bit by bit!

Impressed!

Zhao Xi didn't speak, and went directly to the armor making workshop.

Zhao Xi dipped the three coins in vegetable oil, threw them into the mother mold for pouring armor, and then asked the craftsmen to pour them, and the front and back were like this.

The corners of Su Song's mouth twitched even more, His Royal Highness just dealt with it casually after spending many days.

After the armor with the lack of coins is formed...

"If this is not armor, but a manganese steel ingot weighing a thousand catties, and one place is underground, the other is placed on a high place, and it falls instantly..."

It shouldn't be necessary to say any more, it's very clear.

Needless to say, melting, the matter of film rolling should not be difficult for Su Song, he can figure out a way.

Zhao Xi made a demonstration of making cakes, basically omitting all the procedures behind the minting of coins. It is already the limit to be able to do this now.

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.
