Mingzhu's words made Kangxi nod constantly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since the evil army has retreated, the purpose of the expeditionary force has been achieved, Kangxi did not come to the front line in person, so he naturally does not know the current situation of the expeditionary force, and he does not know if there is an opportunity.

Now, of course, his main concern is the problem of wintering in the north.

"This little fierce man, there is such a good thing, and he doesn't know how to dedicate it to me, a person makes a fortune in a muffled voice, and when he turns around, I have to punish him!" Kangxi scolded with a smile.

Yin Zhen said: "Huang Ama, Erchen thinks that since the expeditionary force is attacking so smoothly, it can't just give up halfway, as for the construction of this place, Erchen is willing to ask Ying, personally go to the north, and after witnessing it with his own eyes, he can apply his experience to all parts of the north, and even the capital, can also use a large number of this material." When the time comes, it will certainly be able to invigorate the local economy and benefit all people. ”

When Kangxi heard this, he kept nodding his head, and what Yinzhen said was reasonable.

"What the fourth said is good, the expeditionary force has the matter of the expeditionary force, and the local construction will not work for the little fierce man. Fourth, you should work hard to use this cement for local construction of houses as soon as possible. By the way, since it was the cement invented by Xiao Mengzi, then spend some money to buy his technology, and then build some workshops in various places to produce cement. Old eight, you have a discussion with the household department to see how much money is appropriate. ”

After Kangxi finished speaking, Yinzhen and Yinzhen said at the same time: "Erchen obeys the order!" ”

After retiring from the dynasty, Yinzhen stopped Yinzhen: "Old eight, what Huang Ama means, you should understand, this money should be given back, otherwise the world should think that we are stingy." Consult quickly, allocate money to me, and in two days I will go to the north. ”

"Fourth brother, are you in such a hurry? Then fourth brother, tell me, how much money should I give? Yinxi was scheming and asked rhetorically.

"Give 10,000 taels first, and after I go to see it, see if it's as Ming Xiang said, if it's true, then I have to give more silver, but don't worry about it, are you afraid that you won't be able to earn it back? When the time comes, build a few more cement workshops, come in the name of the official, and lead it as an important weapon of the country. Yinzhen said.

Yin Yu nodded and said, "The fourth brother is thinking about it very much, and I have been taught by the eighth brother. But Yang Meng is really cunning enough, such a good thing, he didn't even report it, in his heart, is there still the court? ”

Yin Zhen glared at him and said: "Yang Meng's expedition is not easy, only 3,000 people, just swept away the Dzungar Khanate, opened up the Kazakh channel, and directly approached the eyes of the evil people, where does he have time to take care of this cement matter?" You, don't be picky in the future, Yang Meng, a pillar of the country, don't chill his heart! ”

Yinxi smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

At this time, the Junggar Special District, the Tiger City, the Guangming City and the new city that has been renamed the original Orenburg are all using a lot of cement.

But the production of cement is all controlled by Yang Meng's people, and this thing is completely in short supply.

In the Junggar Special Economic Zone, 10 cement factories have been built, and all of these cement factories are controlled by Li Wei.

Tiger City, Guangming City and New Town, the production of cement is also very large, and as soon as it is produced, it is pulled away.

Yang Meng's initial price for cement was 10 taels of silver a ton, but now, the unit price of cement has risen to 20 taels of silver a ton, that is, it has doubled.

In this way, Yang Meng has to earn more than 100,000 taels every day.

------------------------- Dividing Line------------------------

Five days later, Yinzhen and his entourage rushed to Urumqi.

Before entering the city, he was greeted by Li Guangdi, Li Wei and Ortai.

"I've seen Prince Yong!"

Yinzhen was immersed in the new appearance of Urumqi City, and was a little touched. He said: "Excuse me, you have done a good job, this Urumqi city is very well repaired, very good!" ”

"Prince Yong, thanks to the cement invented by the general of the broken army, the current project is going fast and well, after the cement is dry, the masonry will be quickly bonded together to form a very strong wall, the minister thinks that once these walls are completed, they will definitely be extremely strong, and it will be difficult for the enemy to break through!" Li Guangdi said.

Yin Zhen nodded and said, "Yang Meng's mind is good, if this king hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there was such material." Let's go, let's see. ”

"Prince Yong, please!"

Entering the city, Yinzhen looked around, and after a day, his heart was deeply shocked, cement, has indeed become a national weapon, this material, will change the times, change the Qing Dynasty's national fortune!

Whether it is used for people's livelihood or the military, cement will play an important role, Kangxi wants to give money, it is really not wronged, if Yang Meng does not give cement, Kangxi will lose money, but it will not be money.

After staying in the Junggar Special Region for three days, Yinzhen rushed to Tiger City again.

Far away, he was shocked by Tiger City.

"Is this a city? How does it look like a mountain? Yin Zhen muttered to herself, almost unable to believe her eyes.

The outer city of Tiger City has been completed, and the tall city wall stands at Alashankou, shrouding the entire Alashankou under the fortified city.

Li Wei, who accompanied him, said: "Fourth master, the main materials of this city are masonry and cement, and now that time has passed, ordinary firecrackers can't penetrate the city wall at all, even cannonballs, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort." Moreover, there are turrets on the city wall, which can attack the enemy from a long distance, so it can be said that this city is difficult to break, and this is a solid barrier for my Qing Dynasty. ”

Yin Zhen said: "Yes, the terrain of Alashankou is special, and if you don't do this, I'm afraid you will have to take a lot of detours to enter the territory of my Qing Dynasty. Let's go and see what we are doing! ”

Entering the city, Yinzhen was completely attracted by the prosperous scene of Tiger City.

The city is crowded with people, yellow-haired, black-haired, and red-haired people, they are living leisurely, and the shops have become another scenery of Tiger City, and the business in each shop is good.

"Li Wei, how much is the monthly tax in this Tiger City?" Yin Zhen asked suddenly.

Li Wei said: "This place is not under the control of the slaves, but the slaves heard about it last month, and it seems to have exceeded 2 million taels." ”

"What? 2,000,000 taels? So much, huh? Yin Zhen was so shocked that she almost didn't crook her mouth.

This tax revenue absolutely killed every city under the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

"Fourth master, this number is a bit exaggerated, but the geographical location of this Tiger City is too special, there are a lot of merchants coming and going, even the third master, the fifth master, the ninth master, and the tenth master have also participated, and their business is also doing very well, the slave estimates, if this is a few years later, the tax revenue will probably have to increase tenfold." Li Wei said.

Yin Zhen was suddenly shocked in his heart, and he asked casually: "Then all these incomes are Yang Meng's?" ”

"Master, what's wrong? This Tiger City is not my territory of the Qing Dynasty, what are we looking for? Li Wei said.

Yin Zhen scolded angrily: "What did you say about this minion? Jealous? Grandpa's eyes are red! Ye is saying that if these incomes are Yang Meng's, then his future wealth will not be comparable to the national finances? ”

Li Wei said: "Of course, the general's brain is good, not only to produce cement, but also to make good use of business, and to make money is a good hand." However, the general labor expedition, this cost is also a lot, the guns are all made by themselves, I am afraid that most of these income will be used for weapon production, fourth master, you have never seen the weapons of the expeditionary force, that is amazing, not to mention that one is ten, that is, hundred, it is not an exaggeration, especially when they fight in groups, the enemy has no chance to win at all, slave look, those evil people are miserable. ”

"Powerful weapons, too? Why is this kid hiding so many secrets? ”

Yin Zhen was suspicious for a while.
