"Your Highness, it should be King Yong below. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The feast was dispersed, and the king of Wei went to the palace surrounded by the guards, and then Zhan Xingchang suddenly said to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming nodded, this time he let himself be the head of the defense of Cangzhou, and he would definitely not do it without enough benefits.

From the south to the north, from the east to the west, he wants to extort it all, even if he doesn't come, this letter must go, and at this time he is asked to buy coal and iron with silver, which is simply a traitor and thief.

He can use this to sue Xiao Wenxuan.

"Yes, King Yong, King Zhao, King Yan, etc., don't let any of these people go, all of them will be lettered, whoever doesn't give it, we will send a discount to Chang'an." Xiao Ming said.

He wrote on the fold that he would buy it with silver, but the premise was that the other vassal states sent troops to support, and now he would rely on him alone, and he would not give some money to sell his life, who would be willing to be the head of this injustice.

Zhan Xingchang laughed evilly for a while, and said: "Your Highness, leave this matter to me, I'm not afraid that these vassal kings won't spit out something." ”

Xiao Ming, a strategist with a bad stomach, still has confidence in Zhan Xingchang, and he said: "Go ahead, if it is really done, this king will be rewarded." ”

In response, Zhan Xingchang, Pang Yukun and others went to the Governor's Mansion.

Xiao Ming then went to Qingzhou City, this time King Wei came, he would inevitably investigate Qingzhou City, and he had to let Li San guard a little.

In particular, the gun molds being manufactured by the Instruments Division.

Before playing Chang'an, he had already asked Chen Qi to study the problem of the cannon model day and night.

Judging from the current situation, he must not be able to build copper cannons, and he can't make a few cannons by collecting the copper of his entire fiefdom.

The bronze cannon is also enough to choke, a copper, a lead and Xiqingzhou have no reserves, thinking about it, he can only produce cast iron cannons.

Although the toughness of cast iron cannons is not as good as that of bronze cannons and copper cannons, it is easier to explode suddenly.

But this is the only way to produce more cannons in such a short period of time.

After all, after blast furnace ironmaking and crucible steelmaking, Qingzhou's steel production has increased greatly.

Moreover, the cast iron cannon in the science and technology library has a ready-made knowledge reserve, and he does not need to go through the initial exploration of the development of the cannon, but directly uses the mature casting technology to produce the cast iron cannon.

However, even so, some technical difficulties could not be overcome, and the success rate of cast iron cannons was estimated to be only three or four out of ten.

In other words, if you produce ten guns, you can only succeed in getting three or four usable guns, because many of the barrels of cast iron cannons will explode due to thermal expansion and contraction during the cooling process.

The internal mold water cooling technology to ensure the barrel technology will definitely not be able to achieve the current level of Qingzhou, at least after the appearance of the steam engine.

As Xiao Ming thought, King Wei will naturally not be honest when he arrives in Qingzhou City, and King Wei's subordinates are asking about Qingzhou's "interesting stories" these days in Qingzhou. ”

Of course, the most these people get is the things of the wealthy family, and then there are new things like newspapers, glass, and so on.

"Newspapers? Interesting. ”

There are many newspapers in the Qi Palace, and King Wei easily asked Xiao Ming for a copy to read.

Xiao Ming is now accompanying King Wei closely, trying his best to let this restless imperial uncle settle down.

Instead of letting him ask around, it is better to show him what you can show him.

"If Uncle Sanhuang likes it, he can also try it in the fiefdom." Xiao Ming said that he was now digging a pit for King Wei and jumping in.

He was able to achieve the distribution of newspapers because of the printing of lead type, and the mature technology of papermaking.

"This is exempt, but it is the same as the notice at the city gate."

King Wei is not stupid, the handwriting on this newspaper is exactly the same, obviously not copied by those scholars one by one.

This Xiao Ming obviously has a special method, but he is not interested in this thing, for him, there is no point in letting the people know so much.

After glancing at the newspaper, King Wei picked up the glass in his hand again and looked at it, "Virtuous nephew, this time the barbarians are going south, I'm afraid it will have a big impact on your business." ”

Qingzhou is facing war, and generally speaking, merchants will seek good fortune and avoid harm, especially since most of these merchants are people in front of the vassal kings.

It's just that now Qingzhou's business not only shows no signs of withering, but also seems to be even hotter than before.

These businessmen, who were worried about the war, thought that if Qingzhou fell, these commodities in Qingzhou would inevitably become a superb, but instead gave rise to a surge in the prices of various commodities.

"Indeed, it's not small, these days my Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of extra silver, all kinds of grain, copper, iron cloth and other things that offset the silver, and because of this, my nephew dares to guard this Cangzhou City."

King Wei was angry for a while, and he didn't know what evil this kid had fallen into, but now he was very lucky.

On the contrary, it is himself, who was born a few years ago, but now he is unlucky everywhere.

"This glass is really good, I want to buy some when I go back this time, I don't know how many nephews there are?" King Wei took the opportunity to change the subject.

As soon as the glass thing was put into production, the scale was formed, the craftsmen were skilled, and the production was very fast, and now Qingzhou has saved a lot of inventory.

He said, "How much does the Third Emperor Uncle want?"

King Wei nodded, he couldn't put down this glass, and when he went back this time, he was going to use a lot of glass to decorate the palace.

However, he also heard that the price of this glass is not low, and a glass bottle costs at least twenty or thirty taels of silver.

In fact, the reason why Xiao Ming accompanied King Wei also had another purpose, that is, to let King Wei quickly send someone back to the fiefdom and let people send coal, carbon, and other things.

Seeing Qingzhou's new gadgets, King Wei was also a little satisfied, but he also understood that the real secret of Qingzhou was in the Instrument Division, and no outsiders had entered this place so far.

"Well, I'll have people prepare silver in exchange for some glass, and by the way, let them raise iron and coal to send to this Qingzhou City." King Wei said slowly.

Calling a guard, the King of Wei said a few words to him, and the guard turned and left.

Then the King of Wei said to Xiao Ming: "Virtuous nephew, if the barbarians break through Cangzhou City, it will be a pity for you to be a prosperous place in Qingzhou, this soap, glass, and wine will probably become superb, and the flower world of Dayu will also be destroyed, and when the time comes, you will have nowhere to sell no matter how much you have." ”

"What Uncle Three Emperors said is extremely true." Xiao Ming said lazily.

This is also the fundamental reason why he wants to defend Cangzhou, the current Dayu country can't be chaotic, if it is chaotic, where will his goods be sold, and how can he build his own fiefdom without silver?

At least this time, he and the King of Wei also had the same purpose, that is, for their own purposes, to temporarily maintain the balance of the Great Yu Kingdom.

The two were talking, when suddenly Aster shouted outside the door, "Your Highness." ”

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Outside the door, a man who called himself Luo Xin asked to see His Highness, and he said that he was the son of General Luo Quan."

"Poof!" King Wei, who was drinking water, spit out all the tea in his mouth in one gulp.
