The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 426 Deserving of not winning!
Like everyone else, Li Er picked up the gold coins first.

The gold coin is very beautifully made. On the front is the profile of the emperor's head wearing a crown, and on the back is the handwriting of "Zhenguan Seven Years System".

Although he knew the answer, Li Er couldn't help asking, "The portrait on this gold coin"

"Of course it is Your Majesty."

Li Yunze knew what Li Er was thinking, "No one would think that he is the Supreme Emperor."

Li Er smiled when he said this. After he launched the Xuanwumen Revolution and became the emperor, his only wish was to prove that he was better than his father and brother.

Now that the portrait is printed on the currency, when people all over the world spend money, they will see Li Er.

Undoubtedly, this is an endorsement.

Li Er, who was in a good mood, took the gold coin and weighed it, and asked a little uncertainly, "One tael?"

"Yes." Li Yunze nodded in response, "One piece is one or two weights, and the error is controlled within a very small range. And because gold is soft, some other metals are added to increase the hardness."

For things like adding metal, Li Er expressed his understanding.

In the past, when casting copper coins, tin and other metals were added to cast copper coins at a cheaper cost.

After looking at it, he touched the gear mark on the edge of the gold coin again with his finger, "What does this mean?"

"To prevent someone from filing gold dust."

What Li Yunze said was a very practical topic.

Don't think that the moral level of the ancients could be so high, just think about the weird stories like "Lying on the ice and begging for a carp" that completely violate the laws of biological physics written by Confucianism, and you will know that those people can do anything come out.

If you use a round edge, someone will use a file to file a circle of gold powder from the periphery to make a profit.

And their skills are very good, the kind that can't be seen at all.

Then file it round and round, there is no doubt that it is deceiving people.

It's easy to leave the saw teeth. If you have the ability to file the saw teeth, even a blind person can tell that this thing is short of weight with his fingers.

For this kind of anti-counterfeiting design, Li Er greatly appreciates it, and he also knows what the black-hearted things are.

There is not much difference between the silver coin and the gold coin. It is also the profile of Li Er on the front and the year of manufacture on the back.It also adds some metals to improve gloss and hardness.The sawtooth is also arranged for anti-counterfeiting.

Li Yunze still explained, "Using His Majesty's portrait is to prevent gold and silver coins from being cut and used directly with scissors. Adding various metals is another reason to avoid being melted."

It was common for gold and silver to be cut and used in the Ming Dynasty. After all, the opportunity to use whole money is far less than that of small change.

With the emperor's head portrait, anyone who dares to cut it would be deceiving the emperor. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it is a felony.Take it out and use it, others dare not accept it, and directly cut off the thoughts in this regard.

Adding a sufficient amount of various metals, in addition to fixed purposes, is also very important to make those who want to melt feel unprofitable, or even lose money.

Copper coins are not so troublesome, they are the most standard Zhenguan Tongbao, which is very beautiful in appearance, thick and durable in texture.

Of course, the copper content of copper coins is also controlled to a certain extent, so as to prevent temples from melting them to make bronze wares.

After checking a few sample coins, Li Er nodded in satisfaction, "How much can you make in a year?"

"The basis for how much to produce is how much raw material can be provided, not the productivity." Li Yunze simply spread his hands, "As long as there are enough raw materials, we can make as much as we can."

A simple stamping device can be made here in Datang, and there is no need to go to the modern world to get it.

Speaking of raw materials, Li Er was also lost in thought.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Your big ship, bring some more."

The ten big ships owned by Datang at this time are all flying-scissor Galen ships provided by Li Yunze.

Their work arrangements are very full, transporting spices to the Spice Islands, transporting food and sugar to Lingnan Champa Kingdom and other places, transporting minerals, food and population to Luzon, and so on.

Going from south to north, shuttling up and down in the Yangtze River, full of goods are constantly rushing around.

Now Li Er is coveting the gold and silver of the Wa Kingdom, but even though the Wa Kingdom is close, he still wants to cross the sea.

Datang sea ships are not rare, but those sea ships that can only travel along the shore are far inferior to Li Yunze's ships in terms of safety, carrying capacity, and speed.

Li Er now wants to expand his fleet.

"There is no current ship." Li Yunze simply responded, "But the shipyard can have it."

"shipyard?"

Li Er was overjoyed, for him, of course, it was better to buy than to make.

"All kinds of facilities in the shipyard are directly transported to the mouth of the Yangtze River. The shipyard built there can directly go to the sea." Li Yunze explained with a smile, "There are countless treasures and food items overseas. Needless to say, sea fish, enough to satisfy
The needs of the people in the whole Tang Dynasty to eat meat. "

"Sea fish is good." Li Er sighed, "But it needs salt."

Datang in this era does not have any advanced cold chain transportation system. Sea fish need to be pickled as soon as possible after landing, otherwise they will soon rot and smell.

Moreover, there are too many sea fishes, and transportation is also a big problem.

"The sea is the largest salt field. Setting up a salt drying field on the shore can produce a large amount of table salt, which is more than enough to meet the needs of the Tang Dynasty." Li Yunze gave the benefit very simply. "The corresponding technology is very simple, and I can provide it. Your Majesty can by sea salt
Franchise to increase income for the imperial court. "

"As for transportation, just build the railway."

Li Er was slightly surprised, "Give it away for nothing?"

"The shipyard needs money, but the salt technology is free." Li Yunze smiled unabated, "But Your Majesty has to promise me one request."

"It doesn't matter what you say."

"The price of salt should be limited to what the common people of the Tang Dynasty can afford." Li Yunze explained, "Selling salt at a high price seems to be able to make a lot of money, but it affects the livelihood of the people of the Tang Dynasty. And the quality of the salt It is also very important, if there are black-hearted officials

Adding earth and sand makes a profit."

"They dare!"

Immediately, Li Er, whose face turned black, shouted angrily, "Whoever dares to do such a dirty thing, I will kill him!"

"Guarantee the quality, ensure the supply, and limit the price." Li Yunze said slowly, "As long as these things can be confirmed, making sea salt is a matter of benefit to the people, so what if it's free. But it must be clear, and private individuals are resolutely not allowed to intervene in it."

Li Yunze is well aware of how devoid of conscience the salt merchants of all dynasties have been. He killed countless salt merchants in the parallel world.

It is very clear that once this kind of people's livelihood goods fall into private hands, what kind of disaster it will bring.

That is to say, Li Er treats the people well, at least he can say that "the people are water, and the king is a boat."Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. With such words, Li Yunze is willing to help him.

If it were someone like Li Longji, he would be sorry for the people of Datang if he didn't kill him with a knife.

Li Er has great trust in the technology provided by Li Yunze. Since Li Yunze said that there are advanced shipyards and a salt drying method that can provide a large amount of salt, there must be one.

This is the trust that Li Yunze has brought from successes over the past few years.

Soon, as the prime minister, Fang Xuanling personally led a large group of people and supplies, and left Chang'an City in a mighty way, all the way east, heading straight for Jiangdu.

He will supervise and control the construction of the shipyard and saltworks there, and at the same time inspect the railway line from Luoyang City to Jiangdu along the way, and make preparations for the preliminary exploration.

In return, Li Er issued an imperial decree to elevate Li Yunze's title from son of Lantian county to uncle of Lantian county.

Everyone knows that Li Yunze doesn't care about this, otherwise Li Er would have made him the Founding Duke long ago.

However, there are still steps to be taken.

When the Tang Dynasty was thriving, the two Tang armies that went on an expedition to Tuyuhun and Gaochang were also as powerful as a rainbow.

The Tang army, whose main force is the government soldiers composed of Liangjiazi, is indeed very powerful.

Especially after receiving the support of Li Yunze's technology and materials, the fighting power has broken through the skyline of this era.

On Tuyuhun and Gaochang's side, they were already beaten and couldn't take care of themselves.

Just like Fuyun Khan of Tuyuhun, when the Tang army came to kill him, he still wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army.

He thinks that even if he can't fight, he can leave at any time to fight guerrilla by relying on Ma Duo.

However, when the two sides opened up the battle, Fu Yun Khan was scared to pee.

Li Jing, who was extremely low-key in Chang'an City, turned into a killing god when he went to the battlefield.

As soon as the battle started, the cuirassiers were sent to the battlefield.

These cavalry riding Don horses, wearing plate armor, horses equipped with stirrups, saddles, horseshoes, horse armor, and armed with long spears, defeated the main force of the Tuyuhun people with a devastating force.

When the Tuyuhun people started to flee, the cavalry of the Tang Army riding Don horses, wielding steel horizontal knives in their hands, calmly pursued and killed them for dozens of miles, almost killing all the Tuyuhun people on the battlefield.

Fu Yun Khan, who escaped by chance, broke down and cried after returning to the camp, and his whole body was limp on the ground, like a child who hadn't written his summer homework the day before school started.

According to Li Jing's plan, the next step is to wipe out all the tribes in Tuyuhun and completely eliminate hidden dangers.

It was a telegram from Li Er, asking him to capture as many people as possible and send them to various mines to work, which saved the lives of those Tuyuhun people.

When Fuyun Khan, who had no way out, was chased by the cavalry of the Tang army and had no way to go to heaven and nowhere to go to earth.When the steeds under his crotch were exhausted and fell to the ground without foaming at the mouth, looking at the cavalry of the Tang army who kept approaching, this sweaty Murong tribe was full of blood.

Desperately, he chose to surrender.

"What kind of horse is this?"

After being captured, Fu Yun Khan's first question was to ask Tang Jun what horse they were riding.

Not only the impact force is terrifying, but also the stamina is extremely frightening, chasing him for hundreds of miles seems to be very easy.

Naturally, Tang Jun would not pay attention to him, but tied him up on the horse's back, and took him all the way back to Daying.

When camping on the road, Fu Yun Khan saw Tang Jun's sturdy and durable tents, and felt that they were no worse than his own king's tent.

Seeing Tang Jun cooking in an iron pot that could replace a cow in Tuyuhun, lighting a fire with kerosene, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

When he saw Tang Jun take out dried meat and cheese and throw it into the pot as food, Fuyun Khan became numb.

After that, he saw Tang Jun take out a large bucket of oil cakes as feed to feed the war horses, and Fuyun Khan screamed up to the sky, tears like rain.

He could no longer envy Tang Jun's equipment. The entire Tuyuhun couldn't get together hundreds of sets of armor, but everyone in Tang Jun was equipped with extremely sophisticated armor.

Tang Jun's logistics directly made him collapse.

Tuyuhun's horses can only eat grass, but Tang Jun's horses eat bean cakes and oil cakes, which even ordinary herdsmen can't eat.

Tang Jun used iron pots for cooking, but the herdsmen in Tuyuhun could only use cow dung piled up with stones.

Tang Jun ate dried meat and cheese and drank wine.The herdsmen in Tuyuhun can't get enough to eat all the year round.

Tang Jun sprinkled salt directly in buckets, and sprinkled it full of spices that were so expensive that Fuyun Khan didn't dare to eat them casually.Many of the herdsmen in Tuyuhun have never even seen spices!
Under such a drastic disparity, Fu Yun Khan felt ashamed.

It deserves not to win!
Unless the Confucianism of the Tang Dynasty takes power and destroys the Great Wall!
