For a make-up wedding, Li Tianyang received more gift money than the wedding held at Tan Men's house.

When the banquet was over, Li Tianyang took Yumo with him, and the two of them took a group of team members, counting the gifts stored in the warehouse with red eyes.

In the final inventory, although most of the gifts are luxury items, such as Su embroidery, Shu brocade and jewelry, etc., the total number of gifts received is not less than 60,000 taels of silver. And among them, half of them were contributed by Jirentang, and it is conceivable that Jirentang had a heavy gift this time, so it is no wonder that Li Tianyang was surprised at that time.

Since they have accepted the benefits of others, Li Tianyang and them should also give an attitude worthy of this generous gift. The next day, Li Tianyang had a separate banquet for Xie Dongqun, who was still stranded in Bengang.

During the banquet, Li Tianyang sharply condemned the many hostile acts against Hong Tang by Jirentang and Xu Haibin in the past two years, and said that Xie Dongqun was sweating and fidgeting.

Seeing Xie Dongqun's humble and anxious demeanor, Li Tianyang took a sip of hot tea with great satisfaction, and then changed his words, expressing satisfaction and relief with Ji Rentang's attitude this time, and verbally forgave all the disrespectful behavior of Ji Rentang on behalf of Bengang and Hong Tang.

At the same time, Li Tianyang told Xie Dongqun earnestly that in the future, as long as Jirentang abides by the rules set by Hongtang in the South China Sea, then Hongtang will also ignore the past and treat them Jirentang equally.

Hearing this, Xie Dongqun wiped the sweat from his face, expressed his loyalty to Li Tianyang with relief, and said that he would strictly abide by all the rules and regulations formulated by Hong Tang in the South China Sea.

First gave him a big stick to give a little pain, and then gave him a candy to give some comfort, this simple method Li Tianyang is using more and more skillfully, although Xie Dongqun at that time has experienced many years of ups and downs, old and cunning, he has not been able to react to the methods that Li Tianyang played.

In this regard, everyone was happy, although Jirentang was ruined, but he obtained Li Tianyang's forgiveness, and there was no need to worry that Hongtang would target them with a merchant ship, and Li Tianyang and them obtained a batch of raw materials needed in the camp, and only paid the price of a word.

After the banquet, Bengang returned to its original trajectory without shock. On the contrary, Li Tianyang began to get busy with a big thing.

"Master Dong, has the solution to the problem of this mold been solved?" Li Tianyang has been surrounding Dong Qirui, the best master in the Bengang blacksmith workshop and the foreman of the subway workshop, in the past few days.

"Don't worry, the problem has been solved, in fact, this mold and we have been studying the iron cannon, copper cannon mold building technology is complementary, but a few days ago you have been emphasizing that you want to have higher requirements for the pattern in the mold, so we have been trying to make the pattern in the mold more visible in the past few days, and now it has barely met your requirements, you see!!" Dong Qirui took out a round object with a white flower and a similar diameter difference from an egg from his pocket and threw it to Li Tianyang.

As a result of Li Tian's dexterity, Dong Qirui threw over the object and put it in front of him to observe it carefully.

It turned out that what Dong Qirui threw over was a silver coin made of silver with a thickness of only about two millimeters. In the middle of the obverse of the silver coin, there is a large "one" character written in a line of calligraphy, and below it is a relatively small "two" character; On the back of it, there is a lotus flower pattern with buds waiting to be released.

The pattern and text are prominently displayed on the front and back of the silver coin, and when pressed by hand, you can clearly feel that there are no edges and corners, but there is a smooth curvature texture.

"No, if we add more edges and corners, these molds will not be easy to take out when the silver coins are minted, and there will be some broken bubbles, so we replaced the previous edges and corners with a curved pattern when we built the mold, including this edge." Dong Qirui pointed to the edge of the curvature pattern around the silver coin, like an ear of wheat.

"Not bad, not bad!" Li Tianyang is not a person who does not know how to be flexible, he took out a silver coin made from Western tribes to compare. If you want to talk about the advantages and disadvantages, it is certain that the silver coins minted by Li Tianyang and their camp are inferior to them, but in terms of the patterns that Li Tianyang strongly demands, they are a few points more exquisite than the silver coins of all clans.

"So if these silver coins are mass-produced, can we guarantee that each one weighs exactly one or two?" Li Tianyang was still a little worried.

"We have tested this many times, and now the latest version of a batch of silver, I dare to guarantee that each piece of silver is about one tael, and the difference between the top and bottom will definitely not exceed ten centimeters." Faced with Li Tianyang's question, Dong Qirui took out a large basket of silver coins from the table with a "whooa", which looked exactly the same as the silver coins in Li Tianyang's hand, and they were obviously cast in a mold.

"Good!!" Li Tianyang was overjoyed, his right hand reached into the basket, and he grabbed a large handful of silver coins in his hand, and from time to time silver coins fell from his fingers, making a "Ding Dong!" The pleasant sound.

Suddenly, Li Tianyang thought of a little more and looked up at Dong Qirui: "If we take the current mold as a model, how many molds do you think we need to build to make silver coins on a large scale to meet the needs of our camp!" ”

"This is actually not a difficult thing, we use the iron mold casting method to cast silver coins, this mold is actually the same size as this silver coin, so it is completely possible to cast more than ten or twenty silver coin molds on a piece of iron plate, and dozens of silver coins can be molded at a time, and hundreds of more molds should be able to cope with the amount used in the camp!" When Dong Qirui received this task, he also thought of this problem, so he thought of a solution early.

"Okay, then according to this mold, let's build a hundred sets of molds for use!" Li Tianyang was overjoyed, and immediately made a decision: "But when you build it, remember to ensure that the silver coins minted by this mold are just one or two, otherwise we will lose a little more, and it will be the villagers and indigenous compatriots in our camp who will suffer a little less." ”

"Don't worry, camp master, I know this in my heart, I personally check it, if something goes wrong, you are the only one who asks?" For his own craftsmanship, Dong Qirui is quite confident.

Now that the most critical issues are solved, the remaining problems are much easier to solve.

Subsequently, Dong Qirui took out several large or small silver coins and copper coins and handed them to Li Tianyang for inspection. The two got together, researched and argued, and after a long time, the two barely reached a consensus and made a conclusion about the remaining coins with different patterns!
