At the end of the winter of the Bingshen year, the Qinglong ship, which had been at sea for half a month, successfully arrived at the dock of Zhiguzhai. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On this wharf, martial law has been suspended, and a large number of soldiers and crews have gathered around, originally this big ship that sailed back from a long distance is not unusual for the people on the wharf, although there are few such big ships on the wharf, but there are a few.

It's just that what shocked many people was that the person who received this big ship was the cabinet of the three elders, and Su Zhiyuan, who was also the head of the household department, and was accompanied by the Qilin cavalry called the Imperial Forest Army, and the army guarded the entire wharf, and the idle people could not enter, so they could only surround around, which attracted the attention of many people, after all, a big ship sailing Fusang could be received by the head of the household, there must be something surprising, and some of the shipowners who sailed away were watching around, wanting to see what was so strange about this big ship from Fusang.

In the eyes of these people, many sailors carried a large box and walked down, and the unicorn cavalry carefully guarded the surroundings, completely prepared for war, which made everyone shocked when they did not dare to approach, when these boxes were all carried out, careful people carefully counted, there were two thousand boxes, all of which were large boxes, which made everyone more and more curious, when a box fell to the ground and rolled out a large piece of silver ingot, everyone's eyes were straight, and they instantly understood what was contained in these thousands of boxes.

"That's a lot of silver!"

"Could it be that these boxes are all silver taels? How is it possible? The imperial court got so many silver taels from there!"

In everyone's doubts, they suddenly began to pursue the origin of this green dragon ship, and at this time, some rumors slowly spread.

"The imperial court discovered a huge silver mine in Fuso, which could mine millions of taels of silver every year. ”

This rumor became faster and more mysterious, and when it became known that the big ship was coming from Fuso, those maritime merchants and major coastal families were suddenly full of extraordinary enthusiasm for Fuso.

After the enthusiasm for navigation and foreign affairs was mobilized, some families and some merchants immediately exchanged the silver in their hands for copper coins, and a large amount of silver also began to buy materials, and the entire market of the Great Song Dynasty was suddenly mobilized, and countless silver buried in the underground and cellars were dug up, and the flow of these silvers made the commerce of the entire Great Song Dynasty prosperous.

When these two effects were mobilized, more and more labor in the Great Song Dynasty was solved, and the actions of the Jiangnan family to manage and ponder officialdom and annex land also slowed down.

These are also the results that Zhao Shu wants, and everything on the dock is specially arranged by the cabinet.

With the large-scale construction of the Great Song Dynasty, some new chaebols were born, and these chaebols merged with the traditional clans, accumulated a lot of wealth, began to ponder land, annexed acres of land, and participated in local government affairs.

If it is not channeled, a new force will be formed, which will be detrimental to domestic construction, especially in the coastal areas south of the Yangtze River, after earning money overseas, they will begin to become new families, keeping slaves and masters in captivity, which has aroused the vigilance of many poor officials.

In addition to these rich and idle people, the northern barbarians entered Middle-earth, and also produced a large number of laborers, these barbarians are good at herding horses and sheep, but they don't know anything about farming, and if they are not dealt with, they will also form hidden dangers.

Zhao Shu needed to guide this force outside the Great Song Dynasty, and navigation was undoubtedly the best choice, navigation needed sailors, shipbuilding was needed, and shipbuilding required a large number of craftsmen and labor, so that a large number of labor needs would be derived, and a large number of barbarians could be placed.

At the same time, it is necessary to divert domestic complaints about infrastructure construction, and more importantly, Zhao Shu wants to shift the attention of all domestic families from the land to the sea, so that the Great Song Dynasty will transform from a traditional land power to a maritime power.

And the most intuitive effect is that a large number of civil forces and magnates of the Great Song Dynasty have looked at the Fusang country, for these merchant ships to the Fusang country, the imperial court levied a large number of taxes, and wanted to mine silver ore in Fusang, the Great Song Dynasty court united with Fusang, set up a decree, issued mining certificates, and harvested a large number of taxes again, as for the silver and benefits obtained by the Fusang people, but a large amount of silver still enhanced the strength of the Great Song Dynasty by purchasing goods in the Great Song Dynasty.

A large number of barbarians in the Great Song Dynasty were channeled and entered the Fusang country, reclaimed the barren mountains, dug up the silver, and established many similar concessions, which was a trend to slowly evolve Fusang.

The most intuitive benefit of the wealth and silver is that at the beginning of spring, the dredging and excavation of the Grand Canal are almost complete, and the construction of the Chi Road and several bridges has also been greatly improved.

In the general prison of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Gui brought several generals here to check the manufacture of horse lance.

Some craftsmen select the best trunks of the wood brought from the south, and then peel it into evenly coarse slabs, while others soak them in sesame oil repeatedly.

When Wang Gui looked at these procedures, the general in charge of making the lance stepped forward and said with a smile: "General Wang, the tough wood used to make the horse lance is the best topwood, and it is the best material for making the dry lance. ”

Wang Gui looked at the leader of the craftsman, and said with satisfaction on his face: "Yes, the manufacture of the lance must not be ambiguous, the Governor's Mansion will come to supervise from time to time, if you find that someone is greedy for money and food made of the lance, you will not be forgiven, and no one will be able to protect you at that time!"

Wang Gui's words revealed a hint of warning, and the craftsman suddenly smiled and said: "That dare! That dare, there are also the chiefs of the Qilin Pavilion stationed here, and there are detailed points of money and other things." ”

"Well, how long will it take for these horse lances to be manufactured?" Wang Gui stepped forward and touched a thin scorn, his face full of anticipation.

Hearing Wang Gui's inquiry, the craftsman smiled bitterly and said: "General Wang, the manufacture of horse lance is the most time-consuming, the reason why there are many horse lances in the former Tang Dynasty is that it has been handed down from the Han Dynasty, and there are many wars in the former Tang Dynasty, and there are many warlords and clans. ”

"Just tell me how long it will take!" Wang Gui stopped the craftsman's words and said in a deep voice.

"After soaking repeatedly, these stools need to be left in the shade to dry for several months. After gluing with high-quality glue paint into a thick, eight feet long, the outer layer is wrapped around hemp rope. Wait for the hemp rope to dry thoroughly, apply raw lacquer, and wrap it in arrowroot cloth.

The kudzu cloth is lacquered, dried and wrapped in a layer, until it is cut with a knife, and the mallet makes a metallic sound, but it does not crack, so it is qualified. Then go to its head and tail, truncated to about six zhang. The front is equipped with a stainless steel lance, and the rear is a red copper lance. It takes about three years to make continuous adjustments, but the success rate is only forty percent!" When the craftsman said, he was also a little distressed, although the power of these horse lances is good, but the manufacturing cost is too high, the value of one horse lance is enough to build ten strong bows and crossbows, but it does not necessarily guarantee success, this large batch of construction, plus the attrition rate, is simply an astronomical amount.

"Three years! I hope that in three years, everyone in my Great Song cavalry will be able to master a horse lance!"
