Chapter 213 Goldfinger is the first combat power!
permit?
Are war horses, military weapons, armor and gunpowder allowed to be sold?
Is your official family leading a snake out of the hole?
All the unscrupulous businessmen are all cultural people, they have all been studying, and they are full of unscrupulous knowledge. How could they be deceived by Zhao Kai, the "second-tier" official?
If you can't nod, it will be a big deal. When you look back, the officials will ask: How can you build military weapons and armor? How do you know where to go to build war horses? How can you refine gunpowder? You must often do such illegal and prohibited things?
But you can’t shake your head and ask you to do it. If you dare not do it, it means you will not obey the order!
If you don’t obey the order, you can still be beheaded!
So everyone was not moving like a mountain. They were all like clay sculptures and stone sculptures. They stood in the hall with their heads shrank, which made people anxious to see!
Zhao Kai is anxious! The capitalist path with the characteristics of the Song Dynasty and the golden fingers of our official family have to rely on you, the profiteers! How could you shrink so much?
His eyes slowly swept across the faces of a group of businessmen who were shrinking their heads and minds, and somehow it fell on Wu Haogu's face. He seemed to have seen this person somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
"Who is that he?" Zhao Kai pointed at Wu Haogu and asked.
"Official family," Zhang Zeduan was also on the main hall at this time, so he immediately replied, "Official family, his name is Wu Haogu, who used to be a attendant in the Hanlin Painting Academy. Now he is doing some business in building and decorating houses. He is doing it well."
Zhang Zeduan and Zhao Kai are old acquaintances, both of them are artists!
So after he ran out of Kaifeng Prefecture, he went directly to Hedong to surrender to Zhao Kai. Zhao Kai gave him a direct commander of the Hanlin Painting Academy, who was nominally responsible for the Painting Academy, but in fact he was an official who was the emperor's servant for himself.
"Wu Haogu remembers that you are from the Painting Academy." Zhao Kai looked at Wu Haogu, "I ask you, I have a license for a license to be a licensed official and businessman. If you hold a license, you can open military weapons, armor, and gunpowder workshops in Luoyang Prefecture, and sell a certain number of horses to Ezhou. Do you want to do it?"
"Official, official, are you serious?" Of course Wu Haogu wanted to do it!
However, he couldn't do the work of starting a military weapon, armor, and gunpowder workshop for a while, and he didn't know how to start it?
But it is obvious to sell horses to Ezhou, and the huge profits that can be touched are the territory of the Emperor of Jinling!
There is no horse production on the territory of the ten roads and two states of the Emperor of Jinling!
Now it is a chaotic era, and the emperor of Jinling must be consolidating his army and martial arts. Horses must be priced there!
"Of course I'm serious!" Zhao Kai said with a smile, "But you don't have a place to buy horses if you want to come. I can supply you with five hundred horses a year. If you make money, we will get half the money!
In addition, you have to set up a workshop for refining gunpowder according to my requirements! Do you do it?"
"Do it!" Wu Haogu gritted his teeth and took over the heavy burden that Zhao Kai threw over.
Five hundred horses can be sold to Ezhou horses! One horse earns one hundred guan, which is fifty thousand guan! Half of them is twenty-five thousand guan! How much can you spend on opening a gunpowder workshop? At worst, it will be a year's sales profit, and the second year will be a net profit.
It turns out that Zhao Kaizhen is not pulling out the snake from the hole. He is cultivating the bourgeoisie of the Song Dynasty. What’s more important is that he is looking for a good helper to open a golden finger for himself.
He traveled early in his second year of high school! He had not learned his skills yet. If he had finished college and inherited the family industry pancake stall and worked hard for a few years, he would at least have the ability to spread pancakes!
But what about him now? Even if he is not good at pancakes, it is worse than his own imperial kitchen! Can he also make guns, cannons and gunpowder?
However, he still knew the formula of gunpowder, the granulation of gunpowder, the method of re-crystallization, the secret of tubular firearms, and of course he also knew that using the principle of leverage to make counterweight trenchers, these are all gold fingers that break the current situation of three-point stalemate!
Without these golden fingers, Zhao Kai would have no problem defending the world by relying on more than 300,000 government soldiers.
But it is indeed not easy to take the initiative to attack to break this balance.
However, according to the methods of "Nobunaga's Ambition" and "Total War" in the "Four Great Military Arts", just use your golden finger to point out a 3-pound cannon, or a simpler one, and point out a 24-pound cannon that looks like a black pot, and you can immediately break the balance.
The golden finger is the first combat power!
With a 3-pound cannon or a 24-pound black pot, Zhao Kai can perform a dimensional reduction attack on the Jin soldiers. But if you need to click these golden fingers, just knowing a rough idea, or even knowing some principles is not possible. Zhao Kai knew the principle of pancakes in his previous life, how to make the batter of pancakes, when to make eggs, what brand of ham sausage, and how to make noodles with noodles! But the pancakes he spread out were not delicious!
It’s hard to spread a pancake. If you build a cannon and refine black gunpowder, can this thing be simple? Zhao Kai’s family doesn’t run an arsenal. How could he just point out such a big golden finger?
Moreover, 3-pound cannons, black pots, and black gunpowder are black technologies, not works of art! If you don’t expect industrialization, at least you have to reach the production scale of factory handicrafts? Otherwise, there would be only one or two cannons and a few hundred kilograms of black gunpowder, which would be a problem!
In addition, Zhao Kai's army could not be in place in one step, and evolved into the age of hot weapons. The three gold fingers of the 3-pound cannon, the black pot cannon and the black gunpowder are relatively easy to drive, but the musket is difficult. The barrel can be cast in copper, but the barrel must be forged, and the barrel must be handled. Zhao Kai doesn't know what to do at all?
Therefore, his army has developed to the mix of cold and cold weapons, and will mainly use cold weapons.
Therefore, the Song army under Zhao Kai still needs a large amount of armor, bows and crossbows, arrowheads, swords and guns, and blunt weapons! In particular, it is necessary to equip a large amount of high-quality armor!
This also requires a military industry with a scale of factory handicrafts to support it.
To build a military industry with the scale of factory handicrafts, who can Zhao Kai rely on?
Do you rely on the official military weapon supervision? But Zhao Kai's Song Dynasty official family was not inherited. When he asked Zong Ze to recover Kaifeng Prefecture, the dozens of workshops related to weapon production in Kaifeng Prefecture were already empty, and now there is even a building! Of course, the craftsmen they belong to are nowhere to be found.
He found not many craftsmen in Hebei, Hedong, Shaanxi, Jingxi and other places, which was not enough to support Zhao Kai's military needs for more than 300,000 soldiers. Among them, there were no craftsmen who could refine gunpowder and cast bronze ware!
In order to allow his subordinates to obtain enough equipment, Zhao Kai had to issue an edict to allow them to prepare themselves. However, in this way, the demand and production of civilian military weapons were relaxed. Those craftsmen with good craftsmanship could live a very comfortable life with the needs of the military servants. Why bother to take on Zhao Kai's job as a craftsman?
So now there are only two golden finger roads in front of Zhao Kai. One is to issue an edict to implement the craftsman system and send officers and soldiers to force craftsmen from all over the country to Luoyang to serve as craftsmen.
Second, just coax the military craftsmen scattered around the world to come to Luoyang City to start a business, and build Luoyang into a military industrial park to help them start their own businesses! Or build some commercial workshops to hire them at high salaries.
Luoyang was originally a gathering place for the four routes of the government soldiers. The government soldiers had to bring their own weapons and could be purchased in Luoyang. Moreover, Zhao Kai's court could also provide subsidies to them, allowing them to go to the Luoyang market to buy corresponding military weapons and armor.
Based on the experience Zhao Kai learned from his family career in his previous life, he knew that it was not easy to start a business, especially when there was fierce competition! Once the competition came, someone would definitely ruin the business!
Even if you set up a pancake stall, you will go bankrupt, let alone open a weapon workshop?
As long as the weapon workshop is opened and closed down, Zhao Kai doesn't have to worry that his "golden finger arsenal" will not attract the working class. Even if the issue of bankruptcy is not considered, as long as the excellent craftsmen spontaneously gather in Luoyang Prefecture, Zhao Kai will be able to pay a high salary to poach people!
As for where Zhao Kai’s money to open the “Golden Finger Arsenal” comes from? Of course, it was raised by these franchise profiteers to sell horses to Zhao Huan’s sucker.
Zhao Kai has received a report and knows that Zhao Huan is launching a new army in the first phase, and is preparing to launch 200,000, of which 100,000 army will be launched! However, their horses are in short supply, and the 100,000 army is all infantry.
To this end, Zhao Huan has ordered the prefectures along the border to find ways to buy horse money is no longer a problem! The quality of horses is not very important. Because according to Zhao Huan's edict, local officials can be transferred to one official as long as they can buy 500 northern horses (northern horses) and deliver them to Jinling!
He asked the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty to buy inferior horses from the north with the people's money and money, and they could be promoted if they bought them. This business was so great. Of course, Zhao Kai had to make a kick. Now he has taken over the entire Shaanxi Province. The soldiers and generals in Shaanxi are very good at raising horses, and Zhao Kai can buy many cheap horses from them.
Moreover, through Shaanxi, Zhao Kai can also buy horses from the Qingtang Fan tribe.
In addition, Yelu Yuji visited Xiazhou in Xixia a while ago and met Xiao Heda several times, which was considered to be a link. With this line, it should not be a problem to go back and get some grassland horses through Xiao Heda.
So Zhao Kai took out four or five thousand horses a year and sent someone to "smuggle" them to officials under Zhao Huan to get promoted. At the same time, he also replaced hundreds of thousands of stags of copper to invest in the "golden finger". This should be a happy thing for everyone.
Zhao Kai looked at the group of businessmen with their eyes shining below, and smiled and said, "I still have nine licenses for the franchise official and business licenses here, who do you want? There are only nine!"
"Caomin wants to sell horses for the government!"
"Caomin is willing to make money for the officials!"
"Grassy"
The businessmen are very active!
