Chapter 158 There is a way
After King Xin'an said goodbye, Xu Yi became a little decadent.
Keep yourself in the study and carefully consider some of your actions after entering Chang'an. It's really hard to say whether it's wrong or right.
Judging from the current situation, I was indeed abandoned by both the prince and the King of Shou because of my anxiety. Similarly, it was precisely because I was moving faster and the process of establishing a foothold in Chang'an was shorter, which avoided the difficulty of choosing between the prince and the King of Shou.
Just imagine, if I didn't mind the view of the noble families of Chang'an, I just accepted the recognition of my relatives, and I just accepted the position of General General of the Zuo Jinwu Guard as a steadily. In that case, given the position of the eldest princess and Princess Yuzhen in the hearts of the saints, the prince and the King of Shou will inevitably be disturbed by the princess and the princess of Shou.
Perhaps, in the process, I would inevitably know certain things and participate in certain things... The battle for the crown prince in the Great Sheng Dynasty has always been bloody, and countless people have lost their heads. Not only princes, but also those who depend on them are the same.
What's more, there is also Yang Yuhuan, the woman who makes him feel ashamed.
Xu Yi did not want to get involved in the competition for the crown prince, so he changed his original trajectory and hurt Yang Yuhuan... It is really hard to say.
Therefore, Xu Yicai decided to find another way.
Well, since it has reached this point, I still don’t believe that I can’t go avenue.
Isn’t it just money? If Xu Yi cannot solve the problem of money, it will be a shame for a time traveler.
I feel a little regretful that I have shown the coal stove and coal balls early. If I put the coal balls and coal stoves in the current military camp, Xu Yi believes that feeding thousands of soldiers should not be difficult.
It's not surprising to have such an idea.
Nowadays, how many soldiers in the entire dynasty are still supported by the court? It is estimated that even the saints have a minimum number. The system of government troops collapsed, and the recruitment system is supported by food and wages.
The early dynasty system of the government army, and the statement of whether the court had food and money. In other words, the military system that recruited troops and the government army, as well as the cavalry, allowed Xu Yi to ask for some food and money from the court when he was preparing to build the Shence Army.
Shen Ce Army, if Xu Yi wanted to make a living to offer himself, it would be very likely that the court would agree.
I have to show off my abilities again.
The Xiliuying Military Camp designed by Xu Yi originally had a steelmaking workshop, but Xu Yi also knew that steelmaking was definitely limited to military use at this time, not to mention that Xu Yi also wanted to improve the steelmaking process based on the knowledge in his memory.
So? Xu Yi had to find another way to raise military funds.
One is glass? The other is cement. These are all physical and chemical knowledge that I have learned before? It can be achieved by just calcining.
Thank you for studying science? Thank you for your past chemistry and thank you for coming to this era? The knowledge in your mind becomes clearer.
Also, thank you for the fact that it is winter now, the Shence Army is not so urgent to select troops? Give yourself enough time to prepare.
"Uncle Clan? Are you talking about toxic acid?"
When Xu Yi mentioned natural alkali, Xu Sishun said it was toxic.
"My uncle and nephew have seen this thing. In Tongbo County, Shannan Road? Is there a large amount of this thing? People call it toxic acid."
"Please let's do some first. Don't let people know."
Xu Yi was not sure if this toxic acid was natural ketone.
"Lord, no, I have this thing."
I forgot that there is a Ling Yunzi, who is obsessed with alchemy at home. Is the alchemist who likes to collect some messy things the most? Especially some minerals.
Xu Yi was surprised and hurriedly pulled Ling Yunzi: "Let's go? Let me see what things you have."
Xu Yi was lucky, and he was very honored to come to Gongming Palace when he came to this world? There is Ling Yunzi, a Taoist priest who is obsessed with alchemy.
The things collected by Ling Yunzi really surprised Xu Yi. Not only natural soda, but also quartz sand? There are even some silicon ore...
Xu Yi started to get into Ling Yunzi's small yard all day long? He was accompanying Ling Yunzi to make trouble. He has been like this for more than ten days. The princess who has been paying attention to the quilt has also begun to feel a little worried.
The eldest princess has never left since she arrived at Xu Mansion.
Although she did not get involved in the court affairs, the eldest princess who grew up in the palace had a natural feeling about Xu Yi's situation during this period. When she knew that the saint was kind to Xu Yi and set up another army, she was even more worried about Xu Yi and she lived in the Xu Mansion.
It was just a matter of time that when winter was approaching, I paid attention to the quilt, and even Princess Yuzhen came to join in the fun from time to time.
Xu Yi’s abnormality made the eldest princess very worried.
After asking his family, no one understood what Xu Yi was doing. He only knew that it was because of the problem of the newly established Shence Army's food and salary that Xu Yi fell into such a crazy state.
"Yi'er, let's go to the palace for my mother and ask Sanlang for permission. You can't let Yi'er form a Shence Army, but you won't give you food and salary."
The eldest princess looked at Xu Yi's slightly thin cheeks and felt very distressed: "Yi'er, it really doesn't work. I'll ask Sanlang for permission for my mother, and I can also contribute money to support the spirit and the army."
"Yi'er's investment will be criticized by the court, and Wei Mom has no such concerns."
In other words, if the eldest princess really contributed the capital and the eldest prince's son led the Shen Ce Army, it would still be a firearm army that was incomprehensible to see the power. Not to mention the criticism of the court, even the saints might not be able to sleep soundly.
This is not a border prefecture or a local governor, but in Chang'an.
"Mom, there is no need to do this. Mom, see what this is?"
Xu Yi said, taking out a flat and unrounded thing from his sleeve. It was ugly, but it was so shiny that it made people like it.
"Is this Liuli?"
"It should be said that it is glass. This is the name given by the child. It may be the same as the glass brought by the Dashi merchant. It is a thing that the child has made these days."
"You mean you can make glaze?"
Even the eldest princess who was not interested in money and food also improved her tone. Glazed, this is a thing that is comparable to jade and jewelry, so Xu Yi did it.
"Mom, that's true. What does mom think of this thing as a value?"
"Yi'er, although she is not a common thing for her mother, she also knows the value of glass. Although the shape is ugly, it is glass. This is just one piece, which is enough for your house to spend the last year."
"Mother, I tell you that this thing is made of sand and toxic alkali, and it is not worth even a bowl of rice. Now I have understood the method of making it, that is, this thing will take as much as it will take in the future!"
The eldest princess couldn't help but pull the glass accessories she carried from her waist... It looked as if Xu Yi was not as crystal clear as a flat and unrounded thing, but the shape had meaning.
Xu Yi was a little embarrassed.
"Yi'er, how are you going to run this industry?"
"I want to start a military-run industry. When I recruit Shen Ce Army, I recruited Shen Ce Army's family together, so I built a glass workshop in Xiliuying to support Shen Ce Army with the benefits of the glass industry."
If it weren't Xu Yi's generous, there was nothing I could do.
The industries that were shown in the early days could not be taken back from noble families. It is taboo to use their own income to support Shen Ce Army.
I can only provide the industry to support the Shence Army in the name of Shence Army. I think such a change can be passed in the court and even the saints.
In fact, Xu Yi, Cement, has also worked on it with Ling Yunzi these days.
Compared with cement, glass has a much larger market and profit. Cement may be used as a strategic substance, but glass can be exported.
"Yi'er, the industry of the Shence Army... Once the Shence Army is formed, it will be impossible for Yi'er to control the Shence Army for the rest of his life. Saburo and the later heirs of the throne will not allow Yi'er to take charge of the Shence Army forever."
"In this way, in the name of Shen Ce Army, how can the glass industry choose to change its rank in the future?"
How to make a choice? For Xu Yi, this thing has been made into a mess after he has figured out the production process himself, and it will be ruined in a few years. There is no need to hold an industry that will inevitably be ruined. It is better to pretend to be generous and contribute directly.
What's more, as long as you think about it, you can pull out another glass workshop at any time.
However, since the eldest princess has considered herself, there is naturally no need to say so clearly.
