Sun Yu is in the craftsman camp now and has been busy recently. He hasn't been here for a long time. This time, it is mainly for the purpose of installing artillery by merchant ships.

"Dude, if you want to cast this cannon, it is not difficult now, but the manpower is still insufficient." Master He estimated Sun Yu's request and drew the sketch with a charcoal pen.

This is much smaller than the previous naval guns, so it is naturally not difficult. When casting metal products, the bigger the one, the harder it is, the more simple it is.

Now, in the previous battles, the manpower weapons were severely damaged, and each regiment was replenishing the manpower. The weapons were already full of people from repair to rebuilding. Now, everyone is working hard in this craftsman camp, but compared to the needs of each regiment, it is still a drop in the bucket.

"Or, recruit another group of people?" Although the craftsman camp is well treated, it must be strictly managed after all, and recruiting people is basically based on households, and the cost is very high. As for the bad elements among the prisoners, as well as the green-skinned gangsters arrested in various places under their rule, they are all sent to the mines. Now the mines are sufficiently staffed.

"At least five hundred households, the kind of young and strong." Master Liang was the same. He focused on the armor. Now even the elderly, weak, women and children have come to help, but they are still too busy. The damaged armor is piled up like a mountain.

"I will continue to give it to you tomorrow and recruit people." Sun Yu nodded. If the weapon and armor were not solved, there would be no combat effectiveness. Moreover, all regiments were about to expand, and this gap was very large.

"Sir, what do you think of this thing?" Master Liang took out something from his pocket and put it in front of Sun Yu. He was so precious.

Sun Yu picked it up and saw that it was an exquisite bearing, which was much more exquisite than before.

"Maybe mass production?" Sun Yu held it in his hand, couldn't put it down, and kept spinning, which was quite powerful.

"Yes, but it may be worse than this." Master Liang was full of confidence. For this thing, he thought about it with several masters for no reason and finally figured out the key.

"Okay, I have to reward! Three thousand taels, in a few days, I will order someone to send it." Sun Yu was overjoyed. This bearing represents the significant improvement in the processing accuracy of the craftsman camp. If you develop in this direction, it will not be too difficult to get a manual machine tool.

"Dude, after this batch of bearings is produced, replace them with the mine first?" Master Liang felt that if you have good things, you have to use them closely first, which will improve the productivity of the mine, and then provide more refined iron.

"As long, you guys can take a look and make arrangements." Sun Yu knew that nowadays, mines are transported by small dump trucks. If they were replaced, they would save manpower and be more durable.

Since the artillery matter was finalized, Sun Yu would go back to Quanzhou first and have to talk to Ye Heng about the recruitment of craftsmen. Five hundred households, the money for the family would cost more than 10,000 taels. With the monthly salary, it would be a huge expense. I guess I had to talk carefully.

As the end of the year approaches, a heavy snowfall in Kaifeng has frozen the entire Song Dynasty imperial city. When it snowed yesterday, people from the palace informed me that I would not have to go to court recently.

The Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu, stood at the gate of his house in a thick cotton suit, looking at the palace gate not far away, why didn't he go to court? The house at the gate of his palace cannot show superiority.

"Master, this is a very cold weather, why are you standing at the door?" His wife Wei shouted, standing under the eaves, the cold wind is only pouring into the yard. How about this?

You must find guilt.

"Look at the snow scene, auspicious snow indicates a good harvest." Zhao Pu could not express his regret, as it was a bit disgraceful, and the old couple who had been many years could not do it.

"What do you think? This is not the case in that year. I originally wanted to buy something, but the heavy snow fell and the price would increase again." Wei walked over and closed the door. If he had known this, he would have bought it two days ago.

"What are you buying? This family is not short of things." Zhao Pu was surprised. He was a top-notch senior official, and how could his family still lack food, clothing and expenses?

"Master, you are wearing a cotton jacket and cotton pants. I and the child are not there yet." Wei pointed to the leather on his body. In the past, he thought leather was an amazing cold-proof clothing. It was good to go out to block the wind, but compared to a cotton jacket, the comfort level was a little worse.

The most important thing is that the cotton jacket can be made according to the style you want, and even the pattern can be used. The wife of Chen Yilun's family specially sent someone to the south and ordered a lot of materials back. The style was beautiful and she could show her figure. Yesterday, she was envious.

"Well, isn't this Kaifeng sold? Otherwise, how could I be reluctant to leave me?" Zhao Pu was a little embarrassed. His two bodies were given by Li Congshan, the King of Han of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Hey, tell me, there are so many good things in Jianzhou Commercial Bank, why don't we come to our Song Dynasty to open some semicolons?" Wei muttered, sending people to travel, which is a bit expensive. Their family is not as good as the Shen family. They are the masters who are well-known for being rich, and they are not greedy for a penny of money from the Mo family, and they still have endless money to spend.

Zhao Pu is very careful now. Even if he gets some money, he will not come from the right place and dare not spend it openly. He has to buy some industries slowly next year. Even if the money has a reasonable origin, he will slightly improve his life.

"That's because the government does not allow it. The things in Jianzhou Commercial Bank are too expensive. If we open up doing business, the money from our Song Dynasty will have to flow south." Although Zhao Pu did not have great wisdom, he still understands such a simple truth.

I heard that the side of the prison is under great pressure now. For the matter of the four-wheeled carriage, I was scolded by the government every now and then. The carriage was copied, but I didn’t feel that way when I sat on it. It was similar to the previous two wheels. The key point was that there was still a problem with the steering, and it would turn around if I was not careful.

"It's better to be scattered than to block it. Nowadays, everyone in Kaifeng is proud of using items produced in Jianzhou? Even Master, don't you just like drinking those two sips of Feitian wine?" Wei sneered. Isn't this just stealing the bell? Other people's things are good but you can't make them, so you will always find ways to buy them.

The waters of thousands of miles of the Yangtze River are basically under the control of the other party. You can't garrison all the troops along the river, just to prevent the Jianzhou Trading Company from stealing goods to the Song Dynasty? If that were the case, the king of the Southern Tang Dynasty would probably die of laughter and would sooner or later drag the Song Dynasty down.

"That's the reason, but no one dares to speak out." Zhao Pu certainly knew the truth, but the official family was afraid of face, and he couldn't get into trouble. Even Chen Yilun kept silent and kept talking about this.

"Go, don't you always want to find a profitable deal? Isn't this ready-made? I don't have much investment. Just rent a few shops and buy a batch of goods, and you will never have to worry about selling it." Wei knew that his master seemed calm and composed, but when he thought of Chen Yilun's wealth, he was so envious.

Everyone is in the officialdom with the thighs. Zhao Pu is earlier, and now he is also a Privy Councilor and a soldier.

The Minister of the Ministry is no longer a higher status than the Deputy Privy Councilor of the Ministry of Revenue.

But in the eyes of all officials, they just don’t like him, but Chen Yilun is so generous. He is just rich. If he has nothing to do, he will invite everyone to drink wine. If anyone has a baby and takes concubines, even if he doesn’t go, he will definitely get the red envelope, and it is still the biggest one. Who would have too many such colleagues?

Especially those Qingliu officials, who are so poor that they are dying of poverty. Now that they have no money, they want to have some wedding events. It doesn’t matter to others. Chen Yilun must send invitations. He is soft-hearted and has short-handed people. Even if he doesn’t help him speak good things, he will have no shame to scold him. Naturally, his reputation is much better.

"If you can't do it, you can't do it. If the government knows about it, your future will be unsecured." Zhao Pu was moved, but he didn't dare. Compared to silver and money, he cared more about the official robe on his body. Without this thing, it would be useless to ask for money.

"Of course, this kind of business cannot be done by one person. If you take the second son of the Zhao family and go to the official family together, you can get the benefits of adding 5 yuan to each other. Now this benefit has been earned by the gentry in the river, so why not make it by yourself?" Wei thought, if you are so restricted, people can still sell it across the river. The rich and powerful people in the Song Dynasty have to spend more money to buy it.

"What the wife said is very reasonable." Zhao Pu felt that this attention was reliable. Even if the official did not agree, it would not be a problem to make some things to sell, as long as you don't be too arrogant.

Zhao Pu thought about it and thought it was reliable. With the official signboard, it was originally hidden and could be bought openly. Zhao Laoer used the Jing'ansi in his hand to protect the goods, and there was no problem with the origin. Although it was a hindrance to deal with the business, he didn't care about so much, otherwise he would have no value.

Since he made up his mind, Zhao Pu was not a timid person. He returned to the study, picked up the cloak and put it on his body, and prepared to go out to Kaifeng Mansion. The snow was half a foot high on the way, and it was difficult to walk, so he could only walk over. Fortunately, he had a cotton jacket and cloak, so he would not be frozen.

"Master, why are you so anxious?" Wei grabbed Zhao Pu, there were snowflakes flying outside.

"This matter is not too late. If someone takes the lead, everything will be over!" Zhao Pu waved his hand. With such a big business, how can he sit still without losing money?

The most important thing in this business is the official and Zhao Laoer. As for the specific person, anyone can do it.

The official family cannot ignore the face and do this business. Others dare not go to the official family to open this. Only Zhao Laoer can. Last time, he didn't return the information incomplete due to insufficient funds, which was a great excuse.

Moreover, if Zhao Lao Er is dragged in, there is no need to go through other departments. Jing'an Service will be escorted along the way. Who dares to covet it?

Zhao Guangyi is now cooking fires in Kaifeng Prefecture's yamen. This Kaifeng Prefecture is different from the six ministries. No matter how heavy it snows, he has to open the door to work. He is wearing a cotton jacket like Zhao Pu, and Li Congshan gave him. When he came to the Song Dynasty, he brought a lot of things to make friends with the powerful. It was impossible to go back to Jiangning, and he lived a comfortable life. It would be a big deal. It would be a big deal.

What Zhao Guangyi was most envious of was actually the two boxes of wine that Li Congshan gave to his brother. It is said to be a high-end customized version of Feitian, and it is not sold on the market.
