When Gu Qing got up early in the morning, he met Li Tai and Fang Yizhi, "Why do you have the leisure to come to me today?"

Li Tai sat upright and said, "Gu Qing, I want to ask you some things. The current factory level has reached a bottleneck period, and you should be clear about this bottleneck period."

Gu Qing drank porridge and ate buns and said, "I know what you said is. There is indeed a technology that can break the current bottleneck, but to bring this thing up, the first thing to change is the Tang Dynasty's money tax."

Fang Yizhi asked curiously: "Gu Qing, why do you talk about this bottleneck has something to do with money and tax?"

“There is something called electricity.”

"Electricity? Thunder and lightning?" Li Tai took a bun and started eating it without being polite. "If you want electricity to break the bottleneck? I still don't understand what this has to do with money tax."

Gu Qing continued: "How much do you think there is now a copper reserve in the court."

Fang Yizhi replied with thought, "The court has printed a lot of copper coins recently, and I think it shouldn't be too many, the copper mine pipes in the market are strict."

"Electricity is inseparable from copper, but once electricity is used, the consumption of copper will become very large." Gu Qing put down the bowl and chopsticks and continued: "I actually thought about this plan myself a long time ago. At that time, I gave up this idea. First of all, there is too much demand for copper on the money tax. If you want to change this situation, you must first change the money tax. You can start with the money house and exchange old money for new money."

"Is it to exchange old coins for new coins to get copper?" Fang Yi immediately understood the problem after hearing this. "Gu Qing, the copper you mentioned, even if you want all the copper coins to be recycled and recast, let alone whether you can pass the court's level. The value of copper is placed there. If the value of a pound of copper is the same, why do the people pay back the new money?"

Gu Qing drank a cup of tea quietly.

"Wait!" Li Tai seemed to suddenly think of something and interrupted Fang Yizhi and said: "The basis of value is actually the scarcity of items. If there is too much copper, copper will become worthless, and everything will be smooth for new money and old money."

"But how much copper is needed?" Fang Yizhi said again: "Also, why did Gu Qing say that electricity can break the bottleneck today, and why did the copper you say that electricity are indispensable to electricity."

The servants at home were quietly taking care of the house. Gu Qing asked the servants to take away the bowls and chopsticks and pour a cup of hot tea for the two of them and said, "This matter starts with the first time I treated Queen Changsun. At that time, I made something for Queen Changsun to relieve Queen Changsun's qi disease. At that time, I used gold wire. In fact, this mystery is not difficult to understand. It is an electrolytic water to decompose oxygen. People need oxygen to breathe."

Li Tai said in a daze, "I didn't understand."

Gu Qing shook his head and sighed, "Fatty, do you still remember the numbness and electric sparks at that time?"

"Remember." Li Tai nodded vigorously.

"That's an electric existence. Of course, we can't use gold wire. That thing is too expensive. The conductivity of gold is very good, but its value is too high. The most cost-effective thing to get from it is copper wire. The conductivity of copper wire is worse than that of gold, but it is also very useful, and copper is also the most." Gu Qing looked at the two and said, "Don't worry, once you master the technology of electricity, you will find that the Tang Dynasty has entered a new era."

"Drive?" Fang Yizhi was still skeptical.

"When it comes to the ownership of copper, what we need now is to increase the existence of copper to a level in a short period of time, but the ownership of copper in the Central Plains is fixed, and the less it is used. In recent years, the Sea Trade Department has been developing. We can first get copper, the Sea Trade Department, and the West Expedition. To put it nicely, it is to promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, but it is actually for resources! For more and more resources, gold, silver, copper and iron are all what I want."

"So you have already made arrangements!?" Li Tai looked at Gu Qing and stood up with enlightenment, "You have already calculated from the beginning, right? You have long known that this is the way we have today, you have long known that Haimao has reached this point, and you have long known that the development of our academy has returned to this bottleneck today!"

"That's not." Gu Qing said with a wry smile: "Actually, I didn't expect your development to be so fast, which caught me a little off guard. So even if the industry reaches a bottleneck, we must move steadily, improve the process, lay a solid foundation, and when the time comes, we can make generators, so that our industrial level will reach a higher level, and through the maritime trade, there will be a steady stream of resources pouring into the Central Plains."

"I understand." Li Tai nodded and said, "Just as you said, we will save enough money first, so as not to be in trouble in the future. We will do our best to do what we are right in front of us. Once the money is enough, it will be a matter of time."

Li Tai understood it, and Gu Qing looked at Fang Yizhi and seemed to be full of doubts. Now, electricity is a very conceptual thing for everyone. Only in thunderstorms can you see the lightning in the sky, and you have too little understanding of electricity.

"Brother Fang, you will know if you ask the fat man to do something I did back then."

"Can you make it?" Fang Yi looked straight at Li Tai.

"Ah?" Li Tai glanced at Gu Qing and then at Fang Yizhi and said shyly: "How come I remember after such a long world, I just knew that I needed magnets, and there were gold wires for magnets, but Gu Qing said that bronze wires could be used."

"You guys wait a moment."

Gu Qing came to his laboratory and searched for the drawings that should have been left behind. Wu Mei was taking care of the laboratory. There were many things left here. Looking for the boxes for miscellaneous items, Gu Qing found the baby who used to keep Wu Mei back then. Now it can no longer get hot. He also found the clothes he had worn, an old faded sweatshirt, folded and placed in full at the bottom of the box. Now he should just fit in it.

There is also a pair of jeans that are almost washed white now. These things are something that Wu Mei has never wanted to throw away. When she first saw Wu Mei, she was wearing such clothes, which attracted many curiosities.

After searching for a long time, I found a stack of old drawings. I searched for a pattern of an wetrosnake. This was obtained in Mangshan. I searched down to find the drawings I used to make new paper, and then searched down to find a portrait.
