Chapter 1311 Aren't you afraid that the important ministers in the court will turn their faces?
Chapter 1311
On the other hand, Di Gubao expressed his opinions after returning to the Women's Direct Alliance, but he did not pay attention to it, but he didn't care. After all, he had been unattracted for a long time.
I simply tried to do a few things, one was to include the remnants of the Nao Wanyan family under his command, and the other was to start a business of burning tatters with Wang Yang.
The white mountains and black waters are definitely a place where dogs can be frozen to death. Although they are rich in resources, the harsh winter often makes people deterred.
Even the female tribes, who have lived among the white mountains and black waters for generations, will take away the lives of many elderly, weak, women and children every winter because of the cold.
Even a strong adult man, once he goes into the mountains and becomes lost in hunting, he is likely to be frozen into a hard ice sculpture and lose his life.
However, Di Gubao and Wang Yang's business not only brought the kind of liquor that could make people feel hot from their mouths to their stomachs, but also brought the cheap cotton coats and cotton cloths.
The warmth and comfort of cotton coats are naturally self-evident, which allows more elderly, weak and young women and children to survive the long winter. The strong wine of Burning Knife became the favorite of all female warriors at the first time.
Taking a sip in the cold wind, refreshing your mind and warming your body. With these two kinds of cold-proof objects, inside and outside, many people in the Female Direct Alliance began to look at this Di Gubao differently.
In addition, the price of cotton coats is only one-small of fur. A piece of fur is probably not enough to make clothes for a person alone, but it can be exchanged for several sets of thick and warm cotton coats, so why not change it?
Anyway, fur has no much appreciation value for these female straight earth leopards except for keeping warm.
Moreover, whether it is fur or various specialties in the white mountains and black waters, they can exchange the urgently needed materials from Nadi Gubao, which is the most important thing.
Especially when the Northern Liao changed its strategy and made the Women's Direct Alliance difficult, the business between Di Gubao and Song Ting became more and more prosperous, making many Women's Direct tribes get closer and closer to him in order to obtain more share of materials and cheaper prices from Di Gubao.
This made him, the unscrupulous businessman who was despised by most female direct people, speak more and more in the Women Direct Alliance. And he repeatedly mentioned the plan to seize the Liaodong Peninsula and exchange a large number of war preparation materials with the Song Dynasty.
Finally, they began to be looted by those who had no place to go, and felt increasingly unable to live. They were forced by the Northern Liao army step by step, and the female troops who could already smell the crisis were brought to the table for serious discussion.
I believe that it won’t be too long, perhaps this winter, Wang Yang will receive good news from the Liaodong Peninsula.
With Wanhong Trading Company's investment in Jiaonan Port, the construction of the wharf has basically ended, and the basic work of the shipyard has been completely complete. At present, under the guidance of shipbuilding experts hired heavily, they have begun to make sea ships of 3,000 to 5,000 materials.
I believe that it will not take too long for Wanhong Trading Company to have a large maritime merchant fleet. In addition, it has also recruited a large number of life-lost people who are familiar with water and fearless in the coastal areas. It is conducting maritime training to provide sufficient protection for the future Wanhong Trading Company's sailing.
"Sir, it has been more than half a year since our Yuanyou Shenwei cannon was released. Since His Majesty and the others saw the power of artillery, the artillery workshop has produced many sample cannons and conducted repeated tests, and has obtained a lot of data. Look..."
It would be fine if I didn't mention it, but when I mentioned this, Wang Yang's face looked a little ugly. "I have also seen those data. They are pretty good, but they are still a little bad. Look, there are more than ten cast iron cannons tested.
But their limit is that only the firing limit of two artillery cannons exceeds 530 cannons. The rest do not exceed 500 cannons. Some of the barrels have cracks after firing more than 400 cannons. Many of them have exploded directly when more than 400 cannons..."
"What does this mean? It means that if there is no error in the artillery workshop's procedures, then there is a problem with the raw materials."
"The artillery workshop has absolutely no problem with the artillery process. The raw materials are all iron materials collected from the smelting plants of various industrial departments near Bianliang in Tokyo. Could there be any other problems?" Zhao Ji looked at Wang Yang in a daze and asked.
"Isn't this a problem enough?" Wang Yang spread his hands and rolled his eyes at the guy. "There are so many smelting workshops in the Ministry of Industry, and the iron ore source of each smelting workshop is different, right?"
"Of course... oh, what you mean is that the reason why the artillery we tried to produce has a very different result of the artillery test is related to this." Zhao Ji finally nodded as if he had some understanding.
"It's not that I look down on them in the Ministry of Works, but that most of the craftsmen in those workshops are too conservative and difficult to make innovative moves." Wang Yang said with some emotion.
"Just like using coal coking, Wang Mouzhi has been developing it for many years, but it was not until the beginning of last year that, except for this military weapon surveillance, many other smelting workshops were willing to purchase private coking coal. And they were unwilling to purchase high-quality coking coal from our Wanhong Trading Company."
"Well, Xiao Wang understands it. Next time, I will ask them to purchase separately, melt and cast guns separately and then conduct test guns. In this way, it will be easier to determine which iron material is the most suitable for casting guns." Zhao Ji finally reacted.
"I didn't expect that all the cannons have been made, but this test cannon alone is a troublesome thing that can make people crazy. After repeated tests, every time they test, they have to avoid deserted places and let the imperial guards clean up the people in a radius of several miles..."
Listening to Zhao Ji complaining with bitter face, Wang Daren was also helpless. "This is already done. It would be better than throwing the cannon on the battlefield, if a sudden explosion occurs on the battlefield?"
"That would easily disrupt the morale of the army, and it might even cause a sudden turn in the war. Therefore, this is the reason why sharpening the knife does not delay chopping wood."
"That's true, but sir, the performance of those bronze-cast Yuanyou Shenwei cannons and those iron-tied copper-core cannons is far superior to those cast iron Yuanyou Shenwei cannons. Why don't you agree to make these better-performance cannons, but insist on building those cast iron cannons?"
