Yan Liben heard Tang Jian ask how many workshops he wanted to build. He glanced at Zhang Guo and Wei Gui, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I think we should calculate the number of docks first."
The construction of roads is as important as the construction of docks... but if the stalls are too big, the treasury may not be able to bear them.
Li Yuanying regretted coming over to look at the workshop's rulers and plans. He should have waited until his brother came over... Today's energy has long been used up, and I have no strength to continue thinking about the problem. Leaning on the soft pillow, he said lazily: "When brother comes over, you can discuss it with him. I haven't taken a nap, so my mind can't move right now."
Yan Liben: "..."
Prince, don’t you feel that your conscience hurts when you say this? Who has repeatedly stated that our structure needs to be big, suggesting that our docks are too small, our workshops are too small, and we need to be bolder? Who said you can try Yin Qi (oxygen) to assist combustion? Who said that we can try to use rebars or I-beams for the foundation of the dock?
...If your brain can't move, then are ours just iron weights?
Zhang Guo took out the golden abacus from his sleeve, put the beads back into place with a "clink", and said while fiddling with the abacus: "Chang'an, Luoyang, Tengzhou, Yangzhou, Hongzhou, Guangzhou, Guizhou and Liaodong should be the first batch to build docks. , considering the pressure from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou and Guangzhou can be built first. The wind and waves in Jiaozhou are too strong and the geographical conditions are not as good as Guangzhou. Feng An is a diligent and polite person. If he builds a dock in Guangzhou, he will work more carefully. .”
Li Yuanying looked up at the sky. He was not very familiar with Feng Ang, but he was more familiar with his great-grandson. Xu Jingzong married his daughter to the son of Feng Ang, the outstanding Lingnan chieftain. The imperial censor read a book saying that he married his daughter for the sake of gold treasures, and that marrying a young girl to the barbarians would bring shame to the family, so he was not demoted. That's not the point. The point is that his daughter-in-law gave birth to a son named Feng Yuan. Feng Yuan was later banished to the palace and changed his name to Gao Lishi.
As for Gao Lishi's experience, I won't go into details.
Xu Jingzong's other daughter married Qian Jiulong, and Qian Jiulong was nineteen years older than Xu Jingzong... better than a certain parity non-conservation theory elder in later generations, who was twenty-one years older than his father-in-law. . Qian Jiulong's ninth grandson, Qian Liu, was the founding emperor of Wuyue. Guan Xiu once wrote a poem dedicated to Qian Liu. The hall was filled with flowers and three thousand guests were drunk, and fourteen states were frosty with one sword. Later, it was changed by Weird Man to the sword energy that spans thirty thousand miles, and one sword radiates cold across nineteen states.
There is also a theory that she married Qian Jiulong's son, but there is no word "zi" in the records of the old Tang Dynasty, and there is no word "zi" in the records of the New Language of the Tang Dynasty: She also paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, and married her daughter to the barbarian leader Feng Angzi and the prison general Qian. Jiulong, describe its valve reading. He also married Yuchi Baolin's granddaughter for his son, and used her money and silk to pay for her father's honor and virtue, and to hide his faults.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty said that "the Qian family is the only family that is loyal, filial and prosperous". In later generations, the Qian family has been a famous family for thousands of years, and has the reputation of being the first family in Zhejiang and Zhejiang... I wonder if Xu Jingzong's coffin board can still be pressed?
"Mr. Medicine Master said that the bamboo forest in Guizhou stretches for dozens of miles, and the dock there cannot be too late."
I have been to Longchi Rice Terraces before, and I was deeply impressed by the bamboo tube rice and bamboo tube chicken, and the Longchi water wine made from fragrant glutinous rice is even more sweet and delicious. Drinking water and wine, admiring the golden rice fields and distant bamboo forests, it is very interesting to see Nanshan leisurely
...I didn’t stay long, just a week.
"The road to Guizhou is not easy to build. It would be best if water transport could pass through." Li Jing stroked his beard and said softly. "You can send a building boat to explore the road to see which waterway is better and more convenient."
The good things in Guizhou are not only bamboo, but also ironwood, nanmu, camphor... If there is a dock, you don't have to worry about the Nanman rebellion in the mountains. You can transport troops there from Jiannan Road or Jiangnan Road, and they can arrive in the morning and evening.
"My lord, think again, is there any other way to earn Fanbang's small amount of money?"
Without money, no matter how many ideas you have, are they of any use? Datang is in urgent need of making money and making more small money! No wonder King Teng always wants to make a small amount of money. It’s not that he is vulgar, it’s that we look too close...the pattern is not big enough.
Li Yuanying: "..."
It seems like yesterday your old man even earnestly advised a certain person not to always think about small money, but to write more articles. He also said that money is something outside the body, so don’t pay too much attention to the things outside the body. Articles are different. They can educate the people and be passed down for thousands of years. That is the path that someone should take.
"Uncle Wu congratulated Guo Zhong and said: 'How fat!' Ji Sun said: 'Please drink the pig.' Since the state of Lu is close and close to each other, I will not be able to obey the emperor and avoid the great consequences. It is also said that weight is also fat. The Duke said, "You have broken your promises a lot, how can you not be fat?" Master Pharmacist, if you want to break your promises a lot, you should imitate Gongsun Dough's posture and become Li Dough."
Li Jing: "..."
Shuzi was so rude that he even compared someone to Meng Wubo. When His Majesty came over, someone would file a complaint... But Changsun Wuji was indeed becoming more and more like dough, round, white and shiny.
Tang Jian touched his increasingly plump belly... He was not as good as Changsun Wuji, so he could continue to eat hot pot.
"Didn't you find out that the prince didn't want to talk about the topic, so he would transfer you to another direction without any trace?" Wei Gui fiddled with the stone in his hand. The brown-black stone has a metallic luster, and is brighter than ordinary iron ore. Slightly heavier and brighter than charcoal. Maybe someone discovered some new metal?
Li Jing, Tang Jian and Yan Liben: "..."
Wei Shidu, see through but don't tell the truth, so that everyone can continue chatting happily.
"Wei San, do you think they didn't notice?" Li Yuanying turned over and lay on the soft pillow. He was about to roll his eyes and give it to him, but when he saw the stone in his hand, he jumped up excitedly and ran to him. , asked excitedly. "Where did you find it?"
If I read it correctly, it should be black tungsten ore. With black tungsten, scheelite can be found, and the machining industry can develop... I may not be so lucky.
……Bar?
"Xunyang." Wei Gui looked at Li Yuanying with confusion on his face, which was pale because he had been in the mountains and forests all year round, and asked in confusion. "Have you ever seen this kind of ore before?"
It was the first time I saw Prince Teng's real excitement. The previous excitement always felt like gold dust floating in the river, never reaching the bottom of his eyes.
"No." Li Yuanying shook his head decisively, sat next to Wei Gui, and said. "Isn't this meteorite? It's very similar to the meteorite described by Mr. Gongsun!"
Gongsun Bai, who was dozing in the corner, opened his eyes and said, "It should contain some new metal, which needs to be studied by Wei Heiquan and Sun Heijin."
Someone is only responsible for protecting King Teng's safety, refining elixirs to extract metals, or researching herbal medicine, and it has nothing to do with someone. What, were you just excited about the idea of generating electricity? Why should someone rush into something that may not be accomplished in twenty years? If there really is a situation that they can't handle, they won't take action again.
Li Yuanying lowered the corner of his mouth and said in disappointment, "Bai is so excited."
Lin Sou took out Lin Sou from his sleeve and slashed at the black stone... A certain dagger that had never been used had a slightly curled edge? This is very unscientific! The hardness of tungsten is indeed high, but this is tungsten ore, not an extracted tungsten metal block, nor a processed tungsten carbide. He looked at Gongsun Bai doubtfully and said, "Uh-oh! Mr. Gongsun, Lin Sou is injured! Are you sure it's not a piece of meteorite?"
Gongsun Bai walked up to Li Yuanying, took the dagger and looked at it...it actually curled up a little bit. This...this is not in line with common sense! After taking out a fine sharpening stone to smooth the curled edge, he said, "I will extract the metal from this ore and see what new discoveries I will make."
If there is a metal harder than meteorite, I feel like I will discover a new world in the metal world. Maybe... that electricity-generating workshop can be realized in advance!
Wei Gui consciously handed over the ore, and took out two more pieces from his sleeve, one black and one white, and said: "Master, it's best to extract them separately. I think the ones in the white stone should be different."
The white stone is granular in shape, white with yellow, and has a grease-like luster.
Li Yuanying: "..."
Is there also scheelite? Wait, what will Xunyang be called in later generations... The Xunyang River sees off guests on the first night, and the maple leaves and flowers are rustling in autumn. The preface is written in the tenth year of Yuanhe, and he moved to the left to Sima, Jiujiang County. Next autumn, see off guests at Penpukou...Jiujiang County, Jiujiang! 1.06 million tons of tungsten ore is worth at least 300 billion tungsten... Is Wei Gui really a treasure-hunting beast of the Tang Dynasty?
...No, the discovery process of that super tungsten mine was extremely tortuous. By chance, the chief engineer of Luzhou Tungsten Industry came into contact with two mineral exploration materials in the 1950s and the late 1970s. After negotiation... Luzhou Tungsten Industry directly set a small goal and hired the top domestic survey team. In nearly 18 months, it has used 77 mining machines, drilling area reached 190,000 square meters, and extracted various types of ores. There are nearly 150,000 samples... The conclusion reached is completely different from the previous two times. Not only does it have high-quality tungsten ore resources, but its reserves are also the largest in the world.
After more than sixty years of exploration... Wei Gui only had a black iron drill. Even if Zhang Guo had more equipment, it would not be able to reach the drilling depth of later generations of mining machines, and it would be impossible to have any. Such high efficiency!
This is not a question of science or not, but a question of fantasy or not!
He...how did they do it?
"Wei Guizang was still unknown when I was extracting metal." Gongsun Bai put away the ore, leaving a proud figure behind, and walked away gracefully.
Wei Gui shrugged his shoulders. Zhang Guo said that when he was prospecting, someone was still playing in the mud. Facts have proven that there is no necessary connection between good performance and age.
"How much ore do you still have in your hand?" Li Yuanying raised his eyebrows and asked lazily. Judging from Wei Sanyang's performance, he has reservations about Gongsun Bai's extraction technology. At least when someone came into contact with these Shushan disciples, Mr. Gongsun's image was only considered tall in Pei Shiqi's eyes.
"I don't have it in my hands anymore." Wei Gui blinked his left eye at Li Yuanying and whispered. "Most of it is in the hands of Mr. Zhang, so the prince can rest assured."
Zhang Guo: "..."
It's not that I don't believe Gongsun Bai, it's just that... when I saw the iron drill in Wei Sanyang's hand, I knew that the one he remade for me had definitely cut corners!
Li Yuanying silently gave a thumbs up: Well done!
Wei Gui bowed his hands and said, "Prince Teng, you are my confidant!"
