I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 36 Timely Rewards, Recruiting the Enemy

The spiritual outlook and training intensity of the Lingzhou army are incomparable even to the imperial guards.

And the weapons workshop opened his eyes even more.

All kinds of novel weapons, especially the musket that can shoot small balls, can smash the enemy into a sieve from a distance of [-] meters!

Although there is no army of equipment at present, you can think about what the future will look like.

"The war is about to change!"

Cai Bo walked along the road, lamenting along the way, the enthusiasm of the people, and their attitude towards war.

The current Lingzhou City is an indestructible Great Wall!
"Have you figured it out?"

"The virtuous king."

Qin Mu waved his hand, "For many days, I haven't met you, and I haven't restricted you. I have opened up the secrets of the general to you. How do you feel?"

"Thank you, King Xian, for your generosity, but I"

"Can't forget that I am still Liang Shidu's subordinate?"

Hearing this, the disappointment on Cai Bo's face became even heavier.

Liang Shidu, it's a joke now, a dead man's joke!

"If I want to leave now, will King Xian agree?"

Qin Mu showed a smile: "What do you think?"

Cai Bo shook his head bitterly, "I know too much. Anything here will cause a huge reaction. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in this life."

"Since you understand, what do you think you can do in Lingzhou City?"

Cai Bo said nothing.

That's right, even if I join Qin Mu's army, what can I do?
There are new modes of warfare, new types of weapon use, tactical tactics, and systems that are different from the past.

I don't even understand that one.

Qin Mu smiled: "I think there is a position that is very suitable for you. You have a heart for the world and an upright person, and the population of this city is increasing, and the corresponding crimes will also increase. You need a person to preside over it!"

"What does King Xian mean, let me work in the county government office?"

"No, I have added a new title to this position 'Secretary of Public Security', which is responsible for public security in the city and helping the people solve all their troubles. Are you confident?"

Sheriff?
This title is so novel that Cai Bo doesn't know the exact job requirements at all.

However, since it is dealing with the troubles of the common people, it is similar to the Yamen.

"I can try."

After a long time, he still chose to agree.

"Very well, you can go to Zhuge Liang for this matter, and he will arrange it for you. In addition, you need to build the framework of the Public Security Bureau as soon as possible. You can choose the manpower and the like. Make a plan and report to me how much money you need."

"Your Majesty, do you trust me so much?"

Cai Bo couldn't believe it. He was an enemy soldier who was captured. Even if he was going to be recruited, he would not give him a big job.

But now, the virtuous king is not suspicious, but reuses it.

Qin Mu laughed loudly: "You don't need to be suspicious, but you don't need to be suspicious when you employ someone!"

Back in the mansion, the voice of the system immediately came to my mind.

"Congratulations to the host, the random task is shocking the desert, complete it, and reward metal smelting skills!"

Metal smelting?

Qin Mu really wanted to do whatever he wanted, and Qin Mu planned to go to the mall to buy it, but he didn't expect to be rewarded after completing this task for so long.

Can't wait to take out the reward, it is a thick ancient book.

Similar to the template of the Analects of Confucius, perhaps the system has made a camouflage.

"Block smelting method, steel frying method, and steel pouring method!"

There are three smelting technologies recorded above, each with its own advantages, and in this era, it is the top technology.

However, although Qin Mu doesn't know much about history, he has also heard of the method of pouring steel.

This kind of pig iron is melted, poured into wrought iron, and used as a carburizing agent to obtain the required just quality.

But the premise is that extremely high temperatures are required!

Qin Mu frowned. Now most of the smelting is charcoal, the temperature is low and there are many impurities.

As for quality, that's it
"By the way, Charcoal! It's been so long, why have I kept forgetting about this thing!"

Carbon charcoal is industrial energy. With this, things like steam engines can be produced with enough time.

Just do it, and immediately found Zhuge Liang to explain the situation of Charcoal.

Then started searching in the four states, and issued an announcement, as long as you find a place with coal, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Besides, this thing is not new. Some people have discovered that it can burn, but no one dared to use it because it would cause people to coma.

In just two days, two ore veins were discovered in four states, but they were not large.

For now, it's enough!

"Your Majesty, this coal is regarded as poison by the common people. Anyone who hears it will faint or suffocate!" Zhuge Liang said with a serious face.

Qin Mu was very indifferent: "This thing is a treasure. I have a way to make coal that does not produce toxic smoke. In the future, the people will not be anxious because of the lack of wood, and they will not freeze to death in winter!"

"King Xian, are you not joking?"

Zhuge Liang was skeptical about this statement, but he was more serious: "Historically, the common people cut down the mountains due to lack of wood, and in winter, because of the high price of charcoal, countless people froze to death. It is sad."

"This situation will end with me!"

In the past, it was unimaginable that someone would freeze to death because of winter.

But in this era, it can be said to be commonplace!

Later, he told Zhuge Liang the skill of pouring steel, as well as the production of anthracite.

Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard the anthracite!

Unexpectedly, the virtuous king would actually make this kind of thing, which can benefit the people all over the world.

"Your Majesty, I will thank you from all the people in the world!"

As he said that, he was about to kneel down, but was helped up by Qin Mu, "Don't thank me first, this anthracite will be the biggest military expenditure in the future!"

"What, you want to take things to make money?"

"Or else?"

Zhuge Liang's heart collapsed in an instant, and his admiration for the virtuous king suddenly became uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, the people of the world are counting on this thing to survive the winter. If we sell it for money, we are no different from those female businessmen? Don't we let the people poke our backs? Moreover, the prestige you have established will also be destroyed. !"

Unexpectedly, such a sentence attracted such a big reaction.

Qin Mu was also very speechless, "I'm sorry I didn't make it clear, it's like this, the price of anthracite is only a half of charcoal, it's not too expensive, I can guarantee that everyone can afford it, and a mine still needs a lot of labor , earn money and also have money to buy carbon, understand?"

"Isn't this just that we pay for it and then get it back in another way?"

"It can be said that coins must be circulated in order to generate greater value."

Zhuge Liang fell into deep thought, apparently unable to digest this new knowledge for a while.

Seeing this, Qin Mu patted him on the shoulder.

"I've handed over the craft to you, but it must not be leaked out. You manage all the workstations separately and don't gather them together. Also, anthracite is not suitable for smelting. Iron ore smelting requires high temperature in the raw ore, which will produce a lot of poisonous gas. Let's all be prepared."

"Yes, Liang bears in mind."
