The silver is not as gray as Zhang Qi's impression, but more like the bright white of later generations.
Of course, this is also related to oxidation. These are new silver ingots, so the color is naturally the most beautiful.
However, due to craftsmanship, these silver ingots have more or less small holes.
The potholes here are not caused by man-made corruption, but are naturally formed during the process of making ingots.
Get started.
Zhang Qi picked up two pieces and knocked them.
Then he looked at an entire cabin of wooden boxes.
Even he couldn't help but reveal a hint of uncontrollable joy.
"Counting money until my hands cramp, and sleeping until I wake up naturally. I have achieved these two things."
"Can everyone lose to the master book?"
"Your Majesty, this is my humble duty."
A middle-aged man walked out from behind the captains.
"In the future, silver-carrying ships will need to be weighed again when they dock. They will be witnessed by the naval captain and the port director at the same time. Only when the quantity and weight match, can they be transported back to Wuhuan. When they arrive at Wuhuan Pier, they will need to be weighed again and contacted by Jian Yinjun. Only when the output values are consistent can they be stored in the database, otherwise"
Zhang Qi glanced at Master Junshu, who felt cold sweat break out from his nervous back.
"Remember this humble duty."
"Um."
Zhang Qi nodded, and with some difficulty moved his eyes away from the silver ingots in the cabin.
Although silver is not as expensive as gold, putting these three thousand kilograms of silver here is still hard to take away.
Nowadays, the material used to make a white dragon is only ten grams, which is worth 100 yuan, and three thousand kilograms of silver, 1.5 million grams, can produce 150,000 white dragons, which is worth 15 million yuan.
And there are three more such ships here.
Jian Yin County is planned to produce 36,000 jins of silver a year, which means that every year, Jian Yin County can bring Zhang Qi 180 million yuan.
This is still the first time Jian Yin County is established. As Jian Yin County matures and its silver refining technology improves, the more silver it can bring.
A mountain of money, a mountain of money!
Moreover, seeing the silver reserves of Yinshan, Zhang Qi is afraid that he may not use them all until he dies. When his son dies, he will still be able to use them for his grandson.
——
"Fellow fellows, what's wrong with you? You all look like refugees."
A certain county.
A man with a local accent stepped forward to talk to a group of refugees in ragged clothes and rags.
"The world is difficult. We can't survive anymore. The fields are dry and we can't harvest anything. But we still have to pay taxes, so a group of us ran away together, hoping to find a place where we could survive."
"That's it. Then you can go east. You might be able to survive if you reach the Qinshui River."
——
"Hey fellows, what's wrong with you?"
"oh"
"Then you go east. Maybe you can find a way to survive when you reach the Sanjian River."
——
"Then you go east. You might be able to survive if you reach the river."
Within the Han Dynasty.
A man, either an old man or a young man, was running around in various places where refugees gathered.
Essentially speaking, these refugees are no longer citizens of the Han Dynasty.
They have a new name.
thief.
The kind of thief who can be used as a military hero.
Refugees.
It has been implemented in the five thousand years of history of China from beginning to end.
Often it only takes a little natural disaster to deprive them of their rights as human beings.
To stay alive.
Grass roots can be eaten, tree bark can be eaten, and even soil can be eaten.
Those people running around are naturally spies spinning webs.
Can they guarantee that the refugees will believe what they say?
Ha ha.
No guarantee at all.
As long as it is said, those who dare to eat dirt have nothing else to dare to do.
Will go.
Everyone will go.
One big ship after another, there were almost no human-like refugees.
At first.
Zhang Qi thought it might take a long time to transport it.
Later he discovered that there were simply not enough ships.
Refugees occur every day.
A little change in the weather, a little man-made push, or even a gust of wind can create many refugees.
Whether they can reach a place where ships can respond depends entirely on where the spies convey the message.
Until this moment.
Zhang Qicai realized what it would be like to have only over 20 million people left in the Western Han Dynasty after a few decades out of a population of 60 million.
It turned out that what was sitting under Liu Che's butt was not the throne.
Rather, it is a hellscape created by the bones of tens of millions of people.
There is no prosperous age, no great achievements through the ages.
There are only ten rooms and nine empty spaces hidden under the gorgeous stage curtain of the Han-Hungarian showdown.
This is still the early stage of the Han-Hungarian War.
It's really getting to the later stage.
Zhang Qi couldn't even think about it.
The population of Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Liaodong is increasing day by day.
From the previous one million people in Wuhuan and Xianbei to the hundreds of thousands in Liaodong to the present.
Zhang Qi took in more than 200,000 refugees.
Less than half a year.
Moreover, Zhang Qi's ships cannot pass deeper places, otherwise, more refugees will be accepted.
When there were more people, he had to find work for them. Zhang Qi didn't want to feed idle people, nor did he want to develop their habit of being lazy and lazy.
Infrastructure.
Be ruthless with infrastructure.
Shanhaiguan has received enough manpower and is almost finished.
Less than two years.
The total length is more than 70 kilometers, which is more than three times that of Shanhaiguan in later generations. This is purely a human-made project.
But the rare thing is that no one complained or resented.
On the contrary, it is as sweet as sugar.
Build roads.
Build a reservoir.
Digging ditches to drain away the water from the swamp.
Liaodong.
Wuhuan.
Xianbei.
Hard-working people can be seen all over the mountains and plains.
And what Zhang Qi did was just give them the rewards they deserved for their efforts.
——
July.
The Han army entered the fortress.
Wei Qing, Gongsun He, Huo Qubing, and Li Ze returned to Chang'an at the same time.
As what they considered to be the defeated army and Liu Cheren's triumphant army, they had something to report to their Majesty.
And in Wuhuan.
A new army was formed under Zhang Qi's instructions.
Military name.
Xuan.
Heavy infantry.
The people selected are all powerful men selected from the construction team and miners.
The number of this army was tentatively set at six thousand men.
The equipment is Xianbei's newly produced pure iron Western-style breastplate, battle skirt, arm armor, leg armor, greaves, iron boots, face armor, and shield cast by water forging facilities.
Of course, Zhang Qicai is the developer of these armors here, so they are neither Western nor Western-style.
All the equipment of the Zhuxuan Army is made of pure iron. In addition to the armor, the main battle weapon and the one-handed staff are also made of pure iron.
As mentioned before, Zhang Qi's Liaodong Army's full armor weight of 35 kilograms can be called a heavy infantry in this era, while the Zhu Xuan Army's full armor weight exceeds 70 kilograms, which is a heavy infantry among heavy infantry.
In fact, at first, Zhang Qi wanted to make a plate armor infantry regiment, but the craftsmanship of plate armor was a bit too difficult, so he could only settle for the next best thing.
If you can't get the full-body plate armor, just get the breastplate, and you can also use other things that make up for it.
Regarding the Zhuxuan Army, Zhang Qi positioned them as those who attack cities and demolish strongholds.
They were armed to the teeth, except for water and fire, there was basically nothing that could hurt them.
Even if it's a blunt blow, it's not that easy to kill them.
They can make many mistakes, while their opponents only have one chance to make a mistake.
"For your Majesty! A worthy death!"
