The news of the start of construction of the Cangzhou shipyard has been transmitted back to Chang'an, and the next step is to mobilize funds to prepare the materials needed for the shipyard.
The addition of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce has saved Yuanshan a lot of things, and all the projects he is now operating are developing well, and the iron ore is now enough to meet the needs of the imperial court after mining in many places.
What Yuan Shan didn't expect was that the development speed of the Ordnance Supervisor was very fast, and when Xin Liangchou found him, he was preparing to hand over the customized goods.
The delivery of various boilers surprised Yuanshan.
"Xin Liangchou's speed is unbelievable."
Yuan Shan still couldn't believe that this production speed had been shortened by nearly one-third, which should not be possible with the productivity of the ordnance supervision he knew.
"Yuan Servant, do you know that the Ordnance Supervisor has expanded its personnel and equipment again not long ago."
Xin Liangchou said.
"I see, it seems that Your Majesty attaches great importance to the Ordnance Supervisor."
Yuan Shandao, but this is not a good thing, at least for the Ministry of Economic Development, this time it will definitely be bleeding again.
Because part of the cost of the Ordnance Supervision is supported by the funds of the Ministry of Economic Development, once the scale is expanded, it is not necessary to ask people to pay, and with His Majesty's shrewdness, the Ministry of Economic Development will definitely not run.
"This is the product receipt, please check it out."
Yuan Shan took it and made sure that in addition to the shipyard, this batch of boilers was accepted by the Yuan family workshop.
"That's right, there's Rausin in prison."
Yuan Shandao.
"By the way, how is the development of the vehicle-mounted artillery of the Ordnance Superintendent."
Won-sun asked suddenly.
"A prototype has been built, but many problems have been found during the test, although the steam ship can carry artillery, it is also very slow at a certain speed, and the craftsmen of the ordnance supervision have studied this problem for a long time and have not solved it, and it is also a difficult thing."
Xin Liangchou said.
"The construction of the ordnance supervision of this official should focus on the development of steam vehicles, and the combination of vehicle-mounted guns after the speed of the vehicles can meet the requirements, the key lies in technological innovation and progress."
Yuan Shandao.
"What Yuan Servant said is that his subordinates have already explained to let the craftsmen brainstorm, but with the current situation of the Ordnance Superintendent, it can only be made by imitating a steam car."
Xin Liangchou said.
Yuan Shan still understands some of the situation of the ordnance superintendent, no matter how it expands, it is nothing more than to increase the number of craftsmen and the number of equipment, but the key technical core is not, and now it is mainly imitation, only the production technology of artillery is still passable.
"That's it, since the Ordnance Supervisor now has the ability to imitate steam cars, let's start making them, it just so happens that this official has planned to arrange some buses and carriages around Lantian County to Chang'an, and now it seems that steam cars can be used instead."
Yuan Shandao.
"It's just that the steam car that the official wants to build is really not this kind of small, more precisely, the car that is about to be made is called a steam train, because if it is to be used for public transportation, it needs to have a large boiler for carrying a large load, if you want to go far, you need a sufficient space to store coal and water, and if you want to have the above two points, you also need a strong site and frame, so the official wants to carry out a joint production project, and use the Yuanjia Workshop and the Ordnance Supervisor to build the train together."
Won-sun continued.
"Joint production, can you explain this matter in more detail, the lower official still needs to explain it to His Majesty."
Xin Liangchou said frankly.
Yuan Shan knew that this matter must be reported to Li Shimin, and there was a reason why he brought the ordnance supervisor to do this thing together, after all, this cooperation can be regarded as official cooperation, and there is no reason why the ordnance supervisor should not participate in this kind of project that can improve technology and benefit the people, and the land occupied by the construction of the railway requires the approval of the imperial court.
In addition, the demand for iron is very large, if Yuan Shan alone can not apply for so much iron, this does not want the needs of Cangzhou Shipyard, and now it is the cooperation between the Yuan family and the Ordnance Supervision and the Ministry of Economic Development.
The Yuan family contributed the main technology, the ordnance supervision production, and the Ministry of Economic Development paid for it, and the Yuan family would get the corresponding remuneration after the matter was completed.
The Ordnance Supervision got the relevant technology, and the Ministry of Economic Development began to operate the railway, and the biggest beneficiary was the Yuan family, and of course, the people.
The next is the explanation of the train, in fact, the original train is not responsible, but limited to technical problems, iron-smelting technology still needs to be improved, these technologies can be provided, but the implementation does need enough strength to do.
Xin Liangchou was also very surprised after listening to Yuan Shan's introduction to the train, and was surprised by the load of the train, after all, he had seen a steam car, and he was not optimistic about the speed and load, and the steam car was very large, in fact, it did not have much advantage over the horse-drawn carriage on the whole, and the only advantage may be that there is no need to feed the horses.
"Is it really possible to transport so many things at once, if that's the case, this train has its own uniqueness."
Xin Liangchou said.
He listened carefully to Yuan Shan's explanation, and he still maintained enough sanity when he heard the advantage.
"How about Xin Liangchou, absolutely whether this train project is feasible."
Yuan Shandao.
"In the opinion of the following officials, this train project is very good, but the problem is that a large amount of iron ore is needed to build a wagon, and according to the calculation of Yuan Servant, the construction of a wagon requires several years of iron ore production from Datang, and it may be difficult for Your Majesty to agree."
Xin Liangchou asked himself, even he couldn't take out Datang's iron ore reserves for several years to make this thing, not to mention that those iron ores were used to make knife handle armor and were considered a weapon of the country, and if they were used, it would be worth it.
"However, this matter still needs to be truthfully revealed to Your Majesty."
Xin Liangchou said.

"Well, then there will be Prison Laoxin."
Yuan Shandao.
In this way, Xin Liangchou took the initiative to propose to His Majesty, and Yuan Shan was advancing on the side as a participant, with the technology of the train in front of them, how could the ordnance supervisor miss it, and the advantages of the train could not be refused.
A few days later, Li Shimin summoned Yuan Shan.
"Of course, the train thing is as you say, it's not a lie."
Li Shimin said.
"That's a crime of deception, but the minister doesn't dare."
Yuan Shan said.
"Tell me how much money the Ministry of Economic Development can come up with if you want to build a train."
Li Shimin asked directly.
Yuan Shan thought for a while and said: "The Economic Development Department can pay all the production costs, but the minister has one condition. ” Talking to the emperor about the conditions, Xin Liangchou left a cold sweat on his face.
Li Shimin was surprisingly calm and said, "Let's talk about it." ” "After the completion of the wagon project, the Ministry of Economic Development will be qualified to operate the train independently."
Yuan Shandao.
Li Shimin was not stupid and knew that this meant that the money earned by the train would go into the treasury of the Ministry of Economic Development in the future, so he fell into thinking.
Li Shimin didn't speak for a long time, and Yuan Shan immediately understood what was going on, and immediately said: "One percent of the operating income of the Economic Development Department will belong to Your Majesty." ” "Yes."
Li Shimin said softly.
