Western Wei State, Wang Jing.

After the Battle of Luoshui, Guanzhong basically restored tranquility, and the people's livelihood and economy of the Western Wei Dynasty took off rapidly.

The Wei army blocked the attack of the Qing army, annihilated tens of thousands of Qing troops, and captured nearly 100,000 war horses, which not only improved the strength of the Wei army, but also boosted the morale of the people.

People's morale seems to be a very nihilistic thing, but its impact on the country is actually very huge, and it will appear in all aspects.

For the Western Wei Dynasty, one of the most significant effects on the morale of the people was the silver and bronze tickets issued by the Western Wei Domain, which were gradually recognized by the people and began to circulate on a large scale.

Before the Battle of Luoshui, the grain of the Western Wei Dynasty was sold off, and the silver and bronze bills were also run.

When the results of the battle of Luoshui came, tens of thousands of eliminated inferior horses and injured horses were pulled to the west market of Wangcheng to be sold, and the grain promissory notes rose sharply when they heard the news, which made Gao Yihuan make a lot of money, and the people who ran the silver tickets witnessed how much money was redeemed, and when they learned that Wei won a great victory, they were relieved and did not redeem it.

Compared with the battlefield ahead, the risk of this war without gunpowder in the rear of the Western Wei Dynasty is even greater, but fortunately, the money bank in the Western Wei Dynasty only doubled the leverage to issue banknotes, and the reserves of the money bank are sufficient, plus the issuance is not much, so it barely survived.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty had already discovered the turmoil in Wang Jing, but they did not understand the relationship and did not pay attention to it, until the Ming Dynasty from the south of the Yangtze River reported this incident to Nanjing.

The Battle of Luoshui shook the confidence of the people, gentry, merchants, army and other social strata in the Western Wei Kingdom, and the most intuitive reaction of confidence was that on the two banknotes of silver and copper bills, the feudal government issued bonds through the money bank, and it was much easier.

The people had confidence in the feudal government, and the Western Wei feudal government quietly injected 2 million taels of water from June onwards for the procurement of materials, the construction of water conservancy and roads, and low-interest loans to private workshops to boost the economy of the Western Wei State, offset the damage caused by the Qing army's attack on Guanzhong, and intended to quickly restore the place.

After the injection of currency, the prices in the Western Wei Kingdom rose, but the bulk purchases of the feudal government activated the private workshops, which increased the income of hired workers, and the construction of water conservancy and roads also enabled the people to have an additional income, and the increase in the income of the people did not care much about the slight rise in prices.

Early in the morning, Gao Yihuan dressed neatly, went out of the Wei Palace, surrounded by guards, got into a carriage, and went to the outside of Xi'an to inspect the weapons workshop outside the city and prepare for the battle of Hedong.

Horse-drawn carriages walked down the streets, and the elite cavalry in armor cleared the way, and pedestrians avoided and stood respectfully on both sides of the street.

Gao Yihuan closed his eyes and sat in the carriage, which passed through the rows of shops, left the royal city, and headed to the edge of Bashui.

Previously, there was endless farmland outside the city of Xi'an, but at this time, the horse-drawn carriage went out of the city, but there were many shanties and shops outside the city.

This is because with the prosperity of Xi'an, the population has grown, and the city can not accommodate so many people, so many markets and shantytowns have been formed outside the city.

Gao Yihuan lifted the curtains and glanced at the somewhat messy shanty town outside, and saw that many families lived in it, the women were cooking things on the small stove, the clothes were drying in front of the house, and the children were standing below curiously watching the carriages and cavalry pass by.

Gao Yihuan had many ideas on how to solve the problem of land contradictions, and the main idea was to promote the development of commerce in the Western Wei Dynasty, transform the agricultural population into an urban population, and change the social structure, so as to push the evolution of the system, so that the Western Wei Dynasty entered a new era.

It's just that the land contradiction in the Western Wei State is not acute at the moment, and there are even large areas of wasteland that are uncultivated, and he didn't expect that in this case, there are also many people outside Xi'an who are out of production.

At this time, the team traveled all the way east to the workshop on the edge of the water.

Because of the application of hydraulic forging technology, many workshops have gathered on both sides of the river, and thousands of craftsmen work here.

Every morning, noon, and evening, when the craftsmen rest and eat, the dense flow of people outside the workshop is like a military camp, which has become a scene in Xi'an.

Gao Yihuan and his entourage came to the outside of the workshop, and Chen Mingxia, Chen Huiting and others, who arrived first, stood outside the workshop to greet them.

"King, are you going to the workshop or to the warehouse today?" Gao Yihuan got out of the carriage, and Chen Huiting stepped forward and asked.

"Let's go to the warehouse and see the finished product!" Gao Yihuan waved his hand, he attached great importance to the production of weapons, and often went to the workshop to point fingers, and almost everything that could be said in his stomach was said.

The next group came to an armor warehouse, which was filled with sets of iron armor.

"King, there are 800 sets of iron armor here, all of which are built according to the king's requirements!" Chen Huiting pointed to the shiny black iron armor and said.

Gao Yihuan turned his head to the guard behind him and said, "Good luck, you two put it on and try it out!" ”

As soon as the two guards clenched their fists, they each picked a pair and put it on with the help of their comrades.

Gao Yihuan asked Chen Huiting: "What is the output of copper cannons and self-made firecrackers in the cannon casting workshop?" ”

Chen Huiting said: "Back to the king, there are skilled craftsmen in the workshop, but they are limited by raw materials, and the output has never been able to increase. ”

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, "Niu Jinxing is on the book, didn't he say that Sun Kewang had already sent a batch of copper ingots over?" ”

After Sun Kewang invaded Yunnan, he quickly defeated Shading Prefecture and almost controlled the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

Gao Yihuan and Sun Kewang had already reached an agreement to exchange grain for copper ore and tea, and some time ago he received a report that the first batch of copper ingots had been shipped from Yunnan to Sichuan.

At this time, Chen Mingxia on the side spoke: "King, that batch of copper ore has arrived, but there are not many of them. Sun Kewang had just occupied Yunnan, so he couldn't train much copper, and the road from Yunnan was rugged, so the copper ingots he could transport were very limited."

While speaking, the two brothers of Zhou Dali, who had already put on their iron armor, walked over and hugged their fists, "King! ”

Gao Yihuan's gaze was immediately attracted, and both of them had a whole piece of black plate armor on their chests, with a fierce tiger printed on it, as well as the three Chinese characters of Iron Man Wei.

Most of the two of them were wrapped in iron armor above the ground, revealing only a pair of eyes, like an iron tower.

Gao Yihuan nodded with satisfaction, and instructed the soldiers: "Cut two knives!" ”

The guard took out his sword and slashed at his body, sparks shot everywhere, Gao Yihuan asked again, "Have you tried it with a fire gun?" ”

Chen Huiting said: "I have tried, thirty steps can only make a dent, and only within fifteen steps can I have a chance to break the armor!" ”

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Not bad! ”

As he was talking, Li Laiheng hurriedly squeezed in and said urgently: "King, something happened in the palace!" ”

Gao Yihuan's face was shocked, "Something happened in the palace?" ”

"Yes, the princess is going to give birth!" Li Laiheng said urgently.

Gao Yihuan raised his eyebrows, and immediately turned around, "Go back to the palace!" ”
