The new iron smelting supervisor is the result of the discussion of the important ministers of the imperial court and the adjutant of the ministry above. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhenguan years for a variety of things mostly take a trial run in one place, the effect can be more and then more experiments.

Although the Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant was suspected of bypassing the "system" by the emperor and the big nobles, the reason why it did not suffer a backlash was that the Fan Yang Lu clan ate a beating first, and the Bohai Gao clan did not have the strength and courage to intervene; Second, the imperial court needed a place to enrich the capacity and support the front line.

The entire process of conquest of Liao, regardless of victory or defeat, the Tang Dynasty was bound to win, and it was a matter of time.

The manpower that was enriched and transferred by the Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant on the front line was in units of 10,000 people, and it was able to ensure that it was not as bad as the former Sui Dynasty, where people died before crossing the river.

Zaiji's primitive industrial workers, they are all inherently organized, and their management is much stronger than that of the ploughing farmers.

At the same time, Shicheng, as a raw material production unit, is also a reservoir of human resources, and can be used to suppress the border barbarians with peace of mind through lack of labor at any time. The benefits of this, the rate of return, can make the imperial court close its eyes from top to bottom.

The wild spray of the moral master, in this situation, the big ear scraper will not cry out in pain when he slaps his face.

Due to the effectiveness of the Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant, the imperial court has prepared to implement the Shicheng model in many places. However, since it is ready to be implemented, it will naturally increase the number of official vacancies.

Zhenguan was extremely scarce in the early years of talent, the illiteracy rate was ninety percent, and if he could read and break words, he was already a talent. And those who can write and calculate can definitely be regarded as elite talents.

Among the low-level bureaucrats in Chang'an, most of the old officials who take care of documents can't read much, and their lives are naturally extremely hard.

And in Zhang De's lecture hall in the western suburbs, a random boy is selected, and his arithmetic ability is not weaker than those who buy drunk people in Pingkangfang.

As for the convenience of the abacus and abacus, this is even more undoubted.

Zhang De returned to the mansion, thought about the affairs of Chuzhou, and wrote a letter to Cheng Chubi. Brother in the old years, there are not many people who can be trusted, and Cheng Chubi is counted as one.

After writing the letter, Zhang De found the children of the same sect who came with him from Jiangyin: "Tomorrow, I will go to Xianyang first, find the China Resources Horse Team in the north, and then go to Xihetao." Be sure to hand over the letter to Cheng Saburo, and remember, hand it over to Cheng Saburo. ”

"Sect Chief, don't worry, I'm awake."

"Well, go ahead."

After the order, Zhang De went out again, and the former went to a guest house outside the east of the city.

"Brother Ji Xiu."

In the guest house, Cui Shen was flipping through the drawings, mostly some maps. However, in order to prevent being arrested by the authorities in the name of "rebellion", these maps are all new-style cartography, which is basically incomprehensible to non-Zhang Deyan. It is very different from the official map, and the place name is mostly pinyin. A local roster is then created according to the number to prevent errors.

"From Shan Chuan to Hanyang, if you build a road, I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money."

Cui Shen frowned, and then said, "Besides, if it's a new iron plant, where will the materials come from?" ”

"Yongxing County."

Zhang De pointed to a pinyin place name numbered by 9 on the map, "Sun Quan in the late Han Dynasty used to make iron here." The former Sui also used to make money from its iron sand. ”

As soon as he heard what Zhang De said, Cui Shen slapped his head violently, "I forgot about this place!" ”

The distance between the standard Yongxing County on the map and the actual Yongxing County is 200 miles. In fact, the real location is the Daye Iron Mine where Lao Zhang once paddled back then.

This place is a treasure land, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the end of the Qing Dynasty Hanyang Iron and Steel Works.

The most important thing is that Zhenguannian is still an open-pit mine, the utilization rate is very low, and because of the dense lakes in Jingxiang Chudi in the Tang Dynasty, the Baishi boat can easily travel between the mine and the Yangtze River.

As long as it enters the river, the new big ship can go west to the Han River.

This alone is enough to change the former Yun Mengze.

", Ran Maoshi came here yesterday."

Cui Shen rolled up the map and put it away. This map is not accurate, but after all, it is also the handwriting of Wang Xuedi, plus Lao Zhang's own memory, it is generally stronger than the official map.

Stuffing the map into a bamboo tube, Cui Shencai opened a box, which contained cylindrical bars. It was wrapped tightly with red silk, and he picked up a piece of China Resources silver dollars and scattered them.

"Huh?!"

Zhang De was stunned, "Ran Dalang is so big." ”

"Ran Maoshi said that he wanted to let someone say a few kind words in front of Caozhi." Speaking of this, Cui Shen smiled, actually took off the crown of his head, flicked the ashes, and said with emotion, "Cui is now considered developed." ”

Lao Zhang was stunned, the two glanced at each other, and laughed.

"It seems that what Ran Rencai is trying to do is not only Shu Jinshengsi."

I found a teapot in the guest house, found a coal stove, opened the fire door, and put the teapot on it to boil water. Zhang De said while busy working: "But what did he find?" ”

"Coal."

"Coal?"

Lao Zhang was stunned: "Ran Rencai has coal in his hands?" ”

"Yes, and a lot."

Cui Shen pouted outside the guest house, "Oh, there are three carts of briquettes." One car is honeycomb coal, which uses Bashan coal, and the other two cars are ordinary briquettes and briquettes, which are made of Qianzhong coal. ”

"Ran Ren is a big deal."

In astonishment, Zhang De could instantly feel how confident Ran Rencai was. His father is a "handsome", in fact, he is the king of the soil, and he has a high status among the fangs, and the fangs in Bashu and Qianzhong and even the fangs in the west of Jiangnan Province can be mediated by him.

If according to Ran Rencai's current ambitions, he is only afraid that the originally useless mountain goods, once they are realized, he is only afraid that the rich will not be much worse than Li Simo.

was a little stunned, thinking of Li Simo, Zhang De suddenly became clear-headed.

Not surprisingly, Ran Ren wants to wash off the brand of his father's "handsome", follow the example of Ashina Simo, and completely preserve at the feet of His Majesty Tian Khan II, and then be the minion of the Great Emperor of the Central Plains......

"The fangs in Qianzhong are barbaric, and they have always been loose and arrogant, and they can't be obeyed by Zhuge Wuhou." Cui Shen touched a handful of pine nuts on the table, and the two casually peeled them up and chatted, Cui Jixiu reminded Zhang Dedao, "The Ran clan is in the southwest, and there is a similar Ashid Yinchu to the Turkic Khitan Murwei." ”

The title of Princess Pearl Honghu of Hanhai can still speak in the eastern grassland. In the conquest of Liao, the Ashid clan used it to intimidate and threaten those weak small tribes, which was more effective than anything else.

Similarly, Ran Rencai is now the leader of Yanzhou, the emperor takes it as his heart, and he is willing to be a minion for the king, which shows that the emperor has given great benefits to the Ran family, and at the same time, the emperor's successive victories are completely impossible to resist for the Ran family.

In the three years since Zhenguan, they have not heard of even a small setback in the Tang army, with the shrewdness of the Ran clan, although they can't figure out what happened in it, they only need to know that the emperor of the Central Plains is the biggest, and that is enough.

As for how much effort it took to have such a wild engineering dog behind it, ****.

Zhang De peeled a pine nut in his mouth and calculated that the strength of the Ran clan was tied to the emperor. No matter how good Shu brocade is, someone must buy it and consume it, it is a commodity, otherwise it is a decoration. And the emperor of the Central Plains, in a word, can decide whether the field is to be opened, whether the brocade of Shu is to be accepted, and whether the people of Bashu are to be educated......

To put it bluntly, this is a typical buyer's market, if the emperor says tomorrow that everyone wears cotton clothes together and uses Su embroidery, Shu brocade can only become a burning cloth.

"Ran Maoshi...... It's time to see you. ”

Zhang De pondered for a while and said. (To be continued.) )
