Please enter the text plus the three orphans, the commander of the rear army, and the commander of the Shengjin Yiwei have earned another 50 million prestige points, plus the prestige points earned from the battle, and now they have accumulated 1.8 billion prestige points, although there is still more than half a distance from the promotion threshold of 5 billion, but the real big harvest is still to come. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Similarly, today, the court only talked about happy things, and after rewarding Chang Wei and other meritorious heroes, the emperor gave a banquet in the Huangji Palace to entertain the ministers.

Chang Wei had just accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials, and before he could speak to a familiar person, he was called into the Qianqing Palace by Wang Tiqian.

"Haha, my brother has won a big victory this time, I am very relieved!" The emperor who arrived at the harem completely put down his mask and wrote all his joys, sorrows, and joys on his face.

Chang Wei didn't dare to be careless, and immediately bowed to the ground, "Thanks to the emperor's blessings, the ministers can establish meritorious deeds." However, the matter of Jiangnan, the minister"

"I believe you!" the emperor interrupted with a wave of his hand, "You are thousands of miles away, where you may be able to take care of both Saiwai and Jiangnan?"

The emperor's words made Chang Wei completely relieved, as long as the emperor's trust is still there, it is not a big deal, "The emperor is sage!

The emperor interrupted Chang Wei's words again, "Let's talk about it later, come and sit down, only eat and drink today, and catch up on the old days!"

A sumptuous banquet has already been prepared in the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, "These large pieces of meat are all prepared for you." ”

Chang Wei was a little embarrassed, reluctantly ate a few pieces of braised pork, and turned his attention to those exquisite foods.

Ke Yinyue, who was serving the emperor on the side, smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, it seems that Qin Guogong has changed his taste again." ”

Chang Wei hurriedly explained: "I ate beef, roast whole sheep, and even camel meat outside the Saiwai for half a year, and I miss the exquisite food of the small plates and small bowls in Jiangnan." ”

The emperor smiled, "Dauntless, congratulations on becoming a father!"

"Ah?!" Chang Wei was petrified on the spot, he could run four hundred miles away in one day and night when he traveled a hundred miles a day on the prairie, his whereabouts were uncertain, fluttering like the wind, relatives and friends did not have an exact address even if they wanted to send letters, so he could only send war reports and letters to the Great Wall himself.

"Don't you know? Yes, there are no post posts on the grassland. The emperor once again affirmed Chang Wei's work spirit, "On September 15, your concubine Xue gave birth to a big fat boy!"

Where are you on September 15? It seems that you are almost at the Qinglong River!

The emperor smiled and asked, "How is it? It feels good to be a father, what are you going to name your son?"

Of course, it is the joy and excitement of being a first-time father, and the two years of struggle to accumulate the wealth of the country, the huge power, and finally have an heir. But after thinking about it, the emperor didn't have an heir yet, Chang Wei put away his excited expression, and replied with a smile: "When the little guy was born, he was in the north. North, Shuofang, a single name and a Shuo word are good. ”

"Haha!"

The word Shuo Fang obviously tickled the emperor's heart, because it was the county envisioned by Chang Wei in the song, the land that he Zhu Youxiao had beaten down, and it was the Taizu, the most prosperous martial arts after becoming an ancestor, and it may surpass the two ancestors in the future!

The emperor said excitedly: "Shuo Fang is good, Chang Shuo, good! In the future, you have another son, and you will be called Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, Dongsheng, Jining, Qinglong!"

Chang Wei hurriedly said: "The son of the minister doesn't dare to call Qinglong. ”

The emperor waved his hand, "Why don't you dare? Could it be that there is no one surnamed Long in the Ming Dynasty? In the second year of the Apocalypse, Long Wenguang and your eldest brother are close friends! Well, Qingzi has committed your father's name, and the little guy's nickname is Qinglong!"

The emperor gave the name and had his first son, and got 20 million prestige points, Chang Wei was overjoyed to thank the emperor Chrysostom, the emperor was in high spirits today, and turned the topic to the machine bureau and the factory in Tongzhou.

The machine bureau established this year, under the leadership of three experts, Xu Guangqi, Bi Maokang, and Sun Yuanhua, copied the assembly line model of Zhenjiang, and the work efficiency was terrible.

Ten blast furnaces have been erected in the steelmaking plant in Tongzhou, each of which has a daily output of 2,000 catties of rough steel ingots, and the total daily output of stainless steel is more than 10,000 catties. The quality of blast furnace steel far exceeds others, and the price is twice as expensive.

For this alone, the Machinery Bureau will earn more than 20,000 taels of silver for the imperial court every day, and will earn more than 7 million taels every year in the future! What kind of concept is this? It is equivalent to the sum of the original imperial court's sea tax and tea tax! This is no longer open source, it is silver!

The reason why the blast furnace steelmaking is high in efficiency and good quality is only because in the process of steelmaking, iron ore, coke, and limestone, which is used as a flux for slag making, are loaded from the top of the furnace, and preheated air is blown from the lower part of the furnace along the tuyere around the furnace. At high temperatures, the carbon in the coke is combined with the carbon monoxide produced by the combustion of oxygen in the air, and the oxygen in the iron ore is removed during the rise in the furnace, so as to reduce the iron to obtain iron. The molten iron is released from the iron mouth. The non-reducing impurities in the iron ore combine with fluxes such as limestone to form slag, which is discharged from the slag port. It is a delicate, subdivided steelmaking method, several levels more advanced than the previous rough, wasteful methods of coal and iron ore!

The blast furnace of the machine bureau uses a steam blower, and the efficiency is several times higher!

With a large amount of stainless steel as the basis of industrial bones, steam engines were mass-produced, and nearly 100 steam engines were produced in Tongzhou and 30 in Zhenjiang in the past six months. Xue Qian and Shen Kuang once again played the true colors of black-hearted profiteers, and a machine cost 300,000 taels!

As soon as this price came out, the machine bureau and even the emperor were taken aback, you must know that the cost of this thing is only three thousand taels, and the price is directly a hundred times that of a hundred times, does anyone dare to buy it? This is simply more ruthless than robbing money, and more ferocious than robbers!

However, to everyone's expectations, as soon as this price came out, the Longyou Gang in southern Zhejiang directly put nine million taels of silver tickets in front of Xue Qian, saying that they wanted all thirty units!

As a shrewd merchant group, as Chang Wei's allies, the Longyou Gang has gained a lot of benefits from doing business with Chang Wei, and they know how much profit Chang Wei and Shen Kuang's fleet has made when they go to sea, so they have to monopolize these machines at any cost.

The Longyou Gang has no official protection in the court and in the locality, it is a real work, and now it is impossible to let go of Chang Wei's big thick legs, they and the Shen family are the first two major business groups to respond to the one-tenth tax rate of the imperial court.

They are not generous, nor are they highly conscious, but they have Changwei's inside information, and they see the prospect of machines replacing manpower on a large scale.

In the end, Xue Qian made the decision and sold ten of them to the Shen family and the Huang family, and the remaining four were left in the Zhenjiang factory for their own use and display!

With the case of the Zhenjiang steam engine being robbed first, the emperor and the Beijing Machinery Bureau couldn't stop laughing, and hundreds of tycoons from Beijing, Tianjin, Tongzhou, Beizhili, Shandong, Shanxi and other places got the news and immediately went to Beijing to discuss the purchase of steam engines with the Machinery Bureau.

The prerequisites of the one-tenth tax rate made the giants very embarrassed, but when they saw the rumbling, white smoke steam engine through more than a dozen large and small pipes and connecting rods to drive the textile machine at 80 times the speed of the rapid operation, watching the steel giant called the steam engine blow into the steelmaking blast furnace, watching the lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, and boring machines driven by the steam engine process steel into various desired shapes at a flying speed, the rich people were shocked!

After observing for three days, the steam engine that worked stably, driving all kinds of machinery, and producing all kinds of commodities, made them completely shocked, and mountains of gold appeared in the eyes of the rich people!

The most intuitive is the 80 times the speed of the textile machine, a steam engine driven by the textile machine is not only 80 times more efficient? It is definitely more than 100 times that of a skilled worker, and it can work day and night, without eating and resting, only need to add coal and water.

According to this efficiency calculation, a large workshop with 1,000 people only needs 100 people to complete daily work, and the number of people is reduced tenfold, but the efficiency is increased tenfold. What kind of concept is this? How much money can be saved inside and out? How much money can be earned? The business acumen of the rich people is superhuman, and they immediately grit their teeth and be ruthless, and immediately ask the household department, the machinery bureau, and the eunuchs in various towns to check their own property without saying a word, pay taxes at the rate of one-tenth of the tax, and then sign a contract to buy machinery!

According to the calculation of 300,000 taels, 100 steam engines were sold for a sky-high price of 30 million taels! This is more than the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty in a year.

Along with the steam engine and steel was the 80-fold loom, which could be powered by either a steam engine or a hydraulic power, and was obviously more practical and 'cheap' for merchants who had limited financial resources and did not have access to a steam engine.

The difficulty of manufacturing textile machines is lower, and the market is also broader, therefore, the Machinery Bureau and Zhenjiang each built 200 units, saying that they are cheap, but that is only compared to the steam engine, the black-hearted profiteer Xue Qian can be soft? 30,000 taels at a price! Anyway, it is the only one, if you like to buy it or not, if you don't buy it, you will wait for others to get rich!

After the Jiangnan market was hit by Changwei's ocean-going fleet, the merchants such as the Jin Gehui on Liuheng Island were red-eyed, and their transactions with the Portuguese became more frequent, and the corresponding Jiangnan commodity market became extremely hot, and industry and commerce entered an unprecedented golden age.

The major industrial and commercial owners are trying to expand the scale of production, and even the workers are rising, at this time, if they can get efficient, time-saving and labor-saving machines, their own wealth will grow geometrically, and the Donglin Party is about to go crazy!

The 200 textile machines of the Machinery Bureau earned another 6 million taels for the imperial court, plus 30 million taels for steam engines, 7 million taels for steel, and 2 million taels for 200 pocket watches, kerosene lamps, glass mirrors, woven cloth, silk, low-precision export lathes, drilling machines, milling machines, and even cement, bricks and tiles, etc., will be more than 50 million taels!

In addition, the Zhenjiang factory under the one-tenth tax rate will pay two million taxes, and the taxes paid by the hundreds of wealthy people who buy machines led by the Shen family, the Youlong Gang, the Jingshi, and the Jin merchants will add up to more than 20 million taels!

The original income of the imperial court was less than 25 million, but the annual expenditure on the vassal king exceeded 10 million, and after the reduction of the feudal domain this year, the emperor's inner treasury received more than 30 million taels.

There are sixty-three vassal kings who are still dying, accounting for half of the total number of vassal kings, but the emperor and the imperial court are ruthless and will no longer give them money, food, and rewards from this year. Anyway, the edict has already been issued: If you don't take the money and grain from the imperial court, the royal family without a title can receive a year's ration and make a living on their own! Since then, the number of recalcitrant vassal kings has only been more than 10,000.

Without the additional expenses of the vassal king, the financial income of the household department this year will exceed 30 million taels!

Coupled with the 70 million taels brought by the Machinery Bureau, the household department's government income this year will exceed 100 million taels of silver!

The emperor's eyebrows fluttered with joy, "100 million taels!! since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this is the first time that the financial revenue of this scale has reached this scale, and it is also a leap and an explosive increase!"

"With Qian Zhen's waist pole stiffened, your eldest brother Hubu Shangshu Changkuan is even more confident, today's Hubu is no longer the Hubu with a sad face and asks for food, even the officials at the head of the six departments have to bow their eyebrows when they see the God of Wealth of the Hubu! The Hubu has a tendency to replace the Ministry as the head of the six!"

The emperor took a potato and said happily: "And you promote this potato, this year is really a bumper harvest, the people of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Jiangnan and other disaster-stricken provinces rely on this little potato to survive! The more I look at this potato, the more I love it, and I panic if I don't eat it for a day! Hahaha!"

Chang Wei took a piece of potato and swallowed it before replying: "The emperor is blessed with great news!"

The emperor personally poured wine for Chang Wei and patted him on the shoulder, "It's all my brother who has the ability, if it weren't for you, now it's still the same as in previous years, the eunuchs have desperately received more than 20 million taels of silver, the people should starve to death, the vassal kings are still arrogant and lascivious, the household department is still crying to me for money, and the Tatar tribes are still helping Houjin to invade the border pass in winter! If it weren't for my brother, how would this Zhongxing situation come about! The prince of Qin is really the humerus pillar given to me by God and the ancestors! Fearless, I want to thank you!"

Although the emperor's appreciation was true, Chang Wei didn't dare to bear it, otherwise he would really have to bear the charge of being arrogant, so he hurriedly dropped his chopsticks and raised his wine glass, knelt on the ground, and replied respectfully: "Fortunately, thanks to the blue eyes of our emperor, the minister has ascended to the sky from a small Xie Yuan, ranked in the court, and was awarded the title of Super Mertel." The emperor is the minister's Bole, without the emperor there would be no minister today, and without the emperor, it is difficult to give full play to this talent. Therefore, all this is the credit of the emperor, and the minister is just a war knife, a red pen, a machine, and a loyal executor in the emperor's hand, and that's it!

"Hahaha!" the emperor raised his head and laughed, "You, you, I thought that the scorching sun and cold wind in the desert outside the Saiwai would make your argument regress, but I didn't expect that the two thousand miles of dust would not only hone your peak martial arts, but also make this mouth sharper." Mama helped my brother up for me, and you waited for him to eat and drink!"

Ke Yinyue walked to Chang Wei's side with a smile, her plump and mature delicate body clinging to her arms and back, helping him up, Chang Wei's flowery intestines that had been suppressed outside the plug for a long time immediately became a little uncontrollable.

Although it is now the cold winter season, the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace is as warm as spring, Ke Yinyue is dressed in Su brocade, revealing a red bandeau chest, and a bottomless ravine is revealed between the trembling twin peaks, and a large piece of spring light is all exposed.

What's more, Ke Yinyue completely ignored the emperor's face, her eyes were thrown around, and her thin silk clothes couldn't stop her passionate delicate body at all, so where was the demeanor of the emperor's nurse, she was completely a slutty prostitute who served high rollers.

Ke Yinyue hugged Chang Wei tightly on the wide brocade pier, picked up the wine glass and brought it to his mouth, courteous and thoughtful like a little maid to her master.

Where did Chang Wei dare to drink this glass of wine, he carefully shrunk his back that was pressed by the murder weapon, and only wanted to ask in his heart, "Ke Yinyue, how big is your murder weapon?" (To be continued.) )
