    "However, I am prepared to do this, and I am even willing to lower my profile and trade with you. Aren't you, Jieli Khan, satisfied?" I stroked my eyebrows and said with a hint of disdain.  "If Jie Li is not willing, then forget it. There is no need to discuss the price." "Why bother, Your Majesty? This transaction must be done. I just hope that Your Majesty can lower the price slightly."  After all, it¡¯s a business, and it¡¯s good to be able to negotiate the price, don¡¯t you think? ¡­¡± Kang Sheoli kept saying good things with a smile on his face.  After a long while, I looked embarrassed and said, "Well, since you said that, Lao Kang, I won't make it difficult for you. Let's do this, exchange one thousand coppers for one thousand kilograms of iron, and add a piece of silk."  " Kang Sheoli grinned and thought for a long time.  "Add five horses." "No, two horses at most. It's better to give in than to pull you down." I said angrily. It's really outrageous for a generation of emperors like me to waste time here just to bargain with you.  .  "Okay, two pieces of silk." Kang Sheoli nodded helplessly and replied.  ¡°Well, but after all, it¡¯s the same weight of a thousand kilograms, do you understand?¡± After I breathed a sigh of relief, I suddenly thought of something big and said quickly.  "Your Majesty, don't worry, it must be copper ingots of the same weight in exchange for iron ingots of the same weight." Kang Sheoli replied affirmatively, rolling his eyes covertly.  "On this point, I can guarantee you on behalf of Jieli Khan." "Well, I can also guarantee that one horse is one and there will be no fraud." I nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered Li Yuanfang next to me,  Soon, the samurai rushed over.  Naturally, I want to discuss the details of the trade between the two parties with this guy Kang Sheoli.  "Sir, why do you need to add silk to change it? Can't we just get more iron? There is an extra procedure for making silk." Li Yuanfang asked curiously as he followed me out of the office and walked towards home.  "I also know that it is a bit troublesome to get silk, but I always think it is good to give less iron to the Turks. What's more, in the future, our Chinese Empire will have more copper, so we still need to get silk.  Do you want to pay for it with something?" I walked forward without looking back, explaining my thoughts.  Li Yuanfang suddenly realized.  "But Your Majesty, if we give them so many iron ingots, they will definitely build a lot of weapons by then" "When their copper comes into our hands, I will use it to make artillery. Guess what?  Is it faster to run up to him with a hundred swords and kill someone, or to shoot him with a cannon from a mile or two away?" I glared at this guy angrily.  "Even if you run up to us and a cannon is filled with lead and sprayed out, at least dozens of people will be killed." "Oh, I see, I was mistaken and thought you would get the copper back, sir."  I want to use it to make money." Li Yuanfang scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.  "Money must be minted, but it's not that time yet." I shook my head and sighed.  The problem of coining money has occurred frequently since ancient times.  Especially the problem of corruption, and the cost of making money. How was money and silk made in the past?  It is cast, so why do these dynasties have standard money models.  Casting is not only extremely labor-intensive, but also costly. It is said that for one hundred guan, the cost is almost 60 guan.  "If those who minted money were to use some tricks again, I'm afraid that a hundred coins would be minted, and I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough to cover the cost.  Now, I am already thinking about how to cast money. The old-fashioned casting method is very labor-intensive and cost-intensive, but I have already thought clearly about it and use hydraulic machinery to directly squeeze copper plates into coins.  The cost of this approach is pitifully low, but the problem is that there is a shortage of copper today. Not only do today's currencies vary in weight, some of the popular five-baht coins contain less than half of the copper.  And in some places, iron money is still popular today.  There is no way, there is not enough copper, so iron is needed.  The other is private casting.  Use a regular heavy coin to smelt it and then recast it. Of course, you will scrape some copper from the coin and accumulate it. If you make a regular five-baht coin in this way, you can make it into a regular five-baht coin.  Even if it is a regular five-baht coin, there are even five-baht coins from the Han Dynasty in circulation today. Damn it, it is a national treasure. But now many people still regard the five-baht coins from the Han Dynasty as fake money.  Even when I go shopping on the street, I have received this kind of old five-baht that is full of patina and is from an unknown dynasty.  It is precisely because currency is complicated and confusing that if I want to reform the currency system, I must be cautious. The most important thing is that copper production is too low and cannot meet the demand at all. Therefore, I am so green-eyed about fishing for copper.  Even the Turkic copper I want to consider for this reason.  Of course, the copper coins produced by the trial are not only extremely exquisite in style, but also have complex and beautiful patterns, which are far inferior to the coins of this era.  The only difficulty is carving these patterns and patterns on the mold.  Fortunately, many years of use and aftermath of hydraulic machinery?Developed, and for the future development of flintlocks and artillery, hydraulic lathes were refined and developed over the years to the point where they could be easily operated.  But it is just too big. For this reason, in order to mint coins, several micro lathes have been specially developed. Although they are small and exquisite, their performance is definitely not inferior to that of large lathes.  It can easily drill small holes less than one millimeter in diameter on the template.  Well, with this coinage method, the only most time-consuming part is making the template.  But compared with the previous casting method, the cost has dropped by at least two-thirds.  This is definitely a great initiative.  When I got home, I hugged the two little girls and kissed each other, and then hugged the two wives and kissed each other. The four beautiful girls almost unanimously wiped the saliva from their faces. They were so neat and uniform that I was shocked.  I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.  "Husband, what are you doing? You are so affectionate as soon as you get home. Are you doing something bad outside and trying to please our sisters?" Qingxia wiped the saliva from her face, looked cautiously in the direction of the restaurant, and then looked towards  I said in confusion.  "Don't talk nonsense. I am very happy for my husband. I want you to share my love for me. What do you think? Is your husband like that?" I couldn't help but stare at this girl.  Give me a slap on your plump ass.  "Husband, why are you happy? Tell me." When Yaoguang saw Qingxia covering her buttocks and whispering, she couldn't help but asked me with a smile. Well, her expression was very happy. She must be glad that she didn't have time to ask this question.  Of course, I told them the news about a huge trade deal with Kang Sheoli today.  "It's not that we don't have enough steel now, but that we have too much. Moreover, the iron materials in Guanzhong are produced in different places, so the smelting process is also quite different. If you want to use these iron materials to make steel  , It is easy to cause a lot of waste of resources due to differences in origin. "But the iron ore arriving from Cochin is different. Not only does the iron ore in Cochin have a large output, but the most important thing is that it is just a production area.  It is much easier to smelt than to smelt several iron materials at the same time. In addition, there are countless silks in our Chinese treasury, but this kind of stuff is not durable. Besides, since the emergence of looms,  "It turns out that this is my husband's idea. It's quite good. But husband, although the artillery is powerful, the cost is not low, right?"  After all, the copper and manpower alone are quite a lot. Besides, that kind of artillery is fine for attacking a city, but if it's far away, it's really not good to just rely on cannonballs to hit people." Yao Guang nodded.  Put forward his own opinions.  "Don't worry, the explosive bombs will be available soon. By then, unless it's a city siege, otherwise, we will use explosive bombs with a killing range comparable to grenades." I shook my head and explained with a smile.  The advantages of wooden-handled grenades during the First World War and World War II were that they had a relatively long throwing distance, a large amount of explosives, and high explosive power. However, they had a small killing area and a low probability of killing. The reason is that Bing-type grenades generally only produce about two fragments after explosion.  , that is, two slices fried in one.  ??The U.S. military used egg grenades in World War II, so named because they are shaped like an egg.  Because the egg grenade has prefabricated fragments on the missile body, its advantages are that it has many fragments, a large killing area, a high probability of killing, a small size, and is easy to carry. The disadvantage is that the missile body is small and the structure is too compact, and both explosives and detonators are installed.  In the small body of the projectile, the explosive charge is small, so the explosion power is not as powerful as the handle grenade.  But it¡¯s different for a 21st century traveler like me. It combines the advantages of the egg grenade used by the Yankees and the characteristics of the German wooden handle grenade.  This resulted in the wooden-handled fragmentation grenade currently used by the Chinese Renaissance Army.  The iron casing of the warhead of this grenade has been processed and prefabricated with fragments. A handle grenade can break open at least thirty-five to forty pieces of shrapnel.  Enough to cover enemies with a diameter of more than 20 meters.  ??And landmines are now also pre-fragmented to increase their killing radius and power.  As for the artillery shells, there are only solid shells at present. As for the explosive packets, just throw them with a catapult or the like. However, when making handleless grenades for the ballista, the long-range mass destruction of explosive shells has been taken into consideration.  arms.  Of course, at this stage, it is impossible to get those trigger-fuze artillery shells. Naturally, we have to find a way from the delay fuse, and through the use of experimental artillery, we have already created a fixed fuse.  That is to say, when the artillery fires at a forty-five-degree angle, a thirty-degree angle, and a ten-degree angle, the shell will explode at a distance of fifty meters from the ground.  Well, how to adjust the angle of the fuze is very simple. There is a marking on the fuze, and you only need to cut it to the position. Then it can be fired at a suitable angle and explode at an altitude of five to ten meters.
