The words are divided into two parts.
In the foundry, Ou Yexia began to ask the blacksmiths to grasp the production machinery.
However, the machines produced are all components. As for how to debug and assemble, no one knows. The final assembly was done by Zhang Yumeng, especially the debugging.
In an independent factory, a group of soldiers came. They were different from other soldiers.
It seemed that they couldn't even line up in an orderly manner, they were standing staggeringly, and their clothes were a little white. But what stood out was their breathtaking eyes, which were very sharp and lively.
Ran Jing said to a soldier who was missing one hand, slightly cupping his hand.
"General Wei! This is the coin minting place established by your Majesty. This place needs to be kept strictly confidential and only loyal soldiers can be used."
The person who can be called a general by Ran Jingdu is already very high in terms of power and status.
After all, although Yang Gan is a feudal lord, in terms of military position, he is just a general who controls the north, so even if some people are promoted quickly, they will not surpass Yang Gan.
General Wei frowned and said dejectedly, "With my body, I should be disarmed and return to the field now. If you bring me here, do you want us to mint coins? But now, some of us are missing arms and some are missing legs, so what's the use?"
Ran Jing said, "General Wei, your Majesty said that people with weak hands and feet can mint coins here, and the operation of the things is very simple."
Ran Jing said and nodded to Li Wang. Li Wang immediately took a plate from the shelf, then sat on the seat, put the plate in it, and stepped on the pedal.
"Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw."
Instantly, the sound of the machine's rotation was heard.
The sound of "ta~~~ta~~~ta~~~ta~~~" was heard endlessly.
It didn't take long for an alloy piece with a round square hole to be produced.
Li Wang took the alloy piece to a nearby stamping machine and sat down, put the metal piece into it and stepped on the pedal.
"Chew miso" sound.
Li Wang took the coin and handed it to the general. General Wei took it and looked at it, and his face was filled with shock.
"What? It's so simple to mint coins, and this coin is exquisite in both weight and style. This, this..."
Although he has never minted coins, the coin minting process here is completely different from what he imagined.
The coins were made of bronze. He had seen the casting of bronze swords, which required a mold, usually a clay mold. The burnt bronze liquid was poured into it and then molded. It was the same for coinage.
But when he saw it today, he was completely dumbfounded. General Wei rubbed the coins with a slightly rough surface and walked around the machine twice. He couldn't help but shake his head and said in shock.
"It's a miraculous craftsmanship. Without manpower or animal power, you can actually drive such a large weapon. Isn't this just like a god?"
"Haha, these are all made by Zhang Xiaoniang. As long as there is such a machine, it will be very easy to mint coins. As long as you have one leg and one hand, you can operate it. As long as you pay attention when operating, it will not dangerous."
General Wei excitedly took the coin and said, "When can such a coin be used? I have never seen such a beautiful coin in my life."
Ran Jing smiled and said, "Every time a cart is filled, it will be sent to the county governor's office. Through recruitment, infrastructure construction, monthly salary distribution and bank profit business, we can replace all the coins on the market."
Ran Jing took out a few coins and put them in his hand. "The coins are divided into one coin, two coins, five coins, ten coins and twenty coins. In this way, both the common people and merchants can buy whatever they want." When you buy something, you no longer have to worry about finding the money or buying unnecessary things.”
General Wei was as careful as dust and immediately saw something wrong with the coin just now and the coin Ran Jing handed him.
"Why is it that the surface of the newly minted coins is very dull and feels a little prickly, but the one you gave me is as smooth as a mirror?"
Ran Jing pointed to a rolling machine and said, "All newly minted coins need to be rubbed against steel chips inside the drum to polish the surface, so that they can show their shine and beauty."
After weighing the coins in his hand, General Wei returned them to Ran Jing. He came to the side and picked up the plate. He imitated Li Wang's actions and tried it. It was indeed easy to operate.
The soldiers behind were also excited. One soldier said with red eyes.
"General Ran, I thought that after being disabled, we would be useless. We were ready to disband and return to the fields. The brothers who are in better health may go to the slave teaching department of General Shi Yuanji. Unexpectedly, your Majesty did not forget us and found a way out for us."
Ran Jing said, "That's natural. It may be a little busy at the beginning. After all, all the old coins on the market need to be replaced."
"When there are new coins in the world, there will be less work, and the positions will still be vacant. The disabled soldiers can write down their addresses and move their families to live in Zhuangzi."
"Your Majesty will distribute cattle and fields to the homes of each disabled brother."
All the disabled soldiers stood up straight and saluted.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
There is some more color in their eyes, and that color is called hope.
"Okay, I'm here to work with the brothers. I thought I was disabled and useless, but I didn't expect I could work again."
Ran Jing said hurriedly, "No, you are the most senior general here. If it weren't for your hand disability, you would definitely be promoted. For an experienced general like you, Your Majesty hopes that you can teach at Xinhuo Academy. In addition to military personnel, In addition to the annual salary, there is also an additional annual salary for serving.”
"What?"
The partial general's name was Wei Wenxin. He was a member of Tian Zong's family who joined the frontier army, and later joined Yang Qian's command during the merger of the armies.
Despite his repeated military exploits in battles with nomads, Yang Gan did not suffer much damage every time he led his team in battle.
But after dozens of battles, it can be said that there are definitely many disabled soldiers of all sizes, but the number of deaths has dropped.
Wei Wenxin was quite young and had a disabled hand. After discussing with Ran Jing, Jing Huai and other generals, Yang Qian asked Wei Wenxin what he wanted and decided to let him step down.
He originally planned to retire and return home, but he never thought he would be able to enter Xinhuo Academy.
What is that place? Who in the entire Yuntong County doesn't know that it is a holy place in Yuntong County.
In the past, Xinhuo Academy only had more than 20 teaching buildings. This was not comparable to the size of Yang Qian's previous life. It was much smaller, with almost every building on the third floor.
But with the large-scale recruitment of soldiers in the army, students are used as talent reserves.
The School of New Goods is expanding rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. With the large-scale application of cement and mortise and tenon technology, 20 new teaching buildings have been built. To avoid suspicion, some people believe that all floors should not exceed the height of Wu'an Jun's mansion.
Wei Wenxin was greatly surprised and hurriedly declined, "I am a martial artist, how can I be a master? This, isn't this an insult to gentleness?"
Those who can succeed as military generals almost always have family inheritance, but now in the Warring States Period, capable people are emerging in large numbers, and many vassal states have different ways of promoting people.
Just like the Xia Kingdom promoted generals, they no longer looked at their origins, but only valued military merit. Even if you were a slave, as long as you were capable, you could be promoted.
There is another new rule here in Yang Qian, that is, ideological education, which must be unified.
Ran Jing quickly explained, "General Wei, don't worry. This time you go to Xinhuo Academy and you need to study for half a year or a year."
"After you have completed your theoretical knowledge, you can teach the young reserve generals."
"Your Majesty intends to separate the military disciplines in Xinhuo Academy and establish a separate military academy. You may be the first priest of this academy."
"This, this~~~~"
Wei Wenxin was very torn. To be honest, such an honor was irresistible to him. There were probably many people who coveted this position.
Ran Jing laughed, "General Wei, with your battlefield experience, you will have absolutely no problem dealing with a group of experienced recruits."
After saying that, he whispered mysteriously.
"This is
A matter that has been passed down through the ages. It was the first military academy since the beginning of the world. You are the first military academy since the beginning of the world. "
Yang Qian's control over human nature can be said to be profound. Wei Wenxin almost has no sense of existence.
But this person has been hanging out on the border since he was young, and he was unknown, and he has been promoted to a partial general. Such a person is the best choice in terms of experience, confrontation, attack and city government.
Moreover, he has always been cruel and fair in dealing with foreigners. He took the lead in reading the ideological education pamphlets distributed by Yang Gan to the soldiers.
Yang Qian naturally wanted to reuse such a person. Unfortunately, he lost one of his hands in a battle. This was something that Yang Qian regretted very much.
There are many generals like this in the frontier army, such as Ran Jing, Jinghuai, Wu Gaolang, Gu Weiqi, etc. They can only be regarded as people who are accustomed to being promoted by Yang Qian himself and used together, not all generals.
People like Wei Wenxin are most suitable to stay in the academy to teach and educate people.
Again, the academy needs a group of people who can stay at home.
Three people like Jinghuai, Wu Gaolang, and Gu Wei, forget it, letting them stay in one place is like killing them.
When Wei Wenxin heard what Ran Jing said, she was so excited that she couldn't help herself.
Who doesn't want to leave a name in history? Who doesn't want to leave a name in history? It is naturally a good thing to be able to teach young generals.
"Okay, I agreed, when will you come?"
When Ran Jing saw it, he felt reassured and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has ordered that you can rest for a few days, but the minting of coins must not be delayed. It must be produced immediately."
"Okay~!"
Wei Wenxin said to a group of disabled soldiers, "You all heard it. Although we are disabled, your Majesty did not abandon us. He also found a place for us to work and work hard."
"promise!"
In this way, Wei Wenxin was arranged to the academy to receive a round of ideological education courses.
Dozens of disabled soldiers began to learn how to operate the machine and produce safely and quickly in the shortest possible time according to Zhang Yumeng's instructions.
