Chapter 49: Zhu Xiaotou comes out, eagle gun expands (please ask for a monthly ticket)
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhu Youxiao reached out to get the silver dollar and watched it carefully.
On the front of the silver coin is the side avatar of His Majesty wearing the twelve-tale crowns, and the avatar is surrounded by the words "Three Years of the Great Ming Dynasty" in a semi-ring shape.
Well, it can't be as real as in the painting, but you can also see my youthful and heroic spirit?
Except that he did not have Yuan Da’s head and was bright and big, Zhu Youxiao was still very satisfied. When he turned to the back, he smiled.
Two coiled dragons surround the silver coin, which is vivid and vivid, and majestic. The dragon's mouth faces a round fire bead, which is the shape of two dragons playing with the beads.
There is a circle in the middle, and the inside of the ring is the word "one liang".
Sun Yuanhua felt that time passed very slowly, and he was so slow that he was full of confidence that he was a little nervous.
"Very good." Finally, the emperor's voice sounded, making Sun Yuanhua's heart come true all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Zhu Youxiao put down another small silver coin, with a staring head on the front and a Jiahe holding "middle round (half liang)" on the back. This shape is relatively simple, but the pattern is also very clear and eye-catching.
Both sample coins were straight teeth, which made Zhu Youxiao even more happy. He smiled and said to Sun Yuanhua: "I'm not wrong about casting and mechanism mixing, right?"
"Long live wise, that's exactly that." Sun Yuanhua bowed and said, with a proud smile on his face.
Traditional minting is operated at high temperatures, that is, the watering method. The mechanism suppression can be processed at room temperature, which has obvious advantages.
But at that time, it was impossible to use all mechanisms to make coins. Although the Italians had invented a spiral press to create gold coins with complete patterns and texts for the Pope.
Sun Yuanhua and the missionaries repeatedly studied and built a stamping machine that used animal power for shearing and hammering. This was a huge technological progress and greatly improved efficiency.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao also knew that such a stamping machine was insufficient power, and the gold and silver with sufficient color were relatively soft, and hard molds made of crucible steel were used successfully.
But if you want to stamp steel, you can only build dams and store water to build hydraulic stamping equipment in addition to inventing steam engines. Zhu Youxiao is a little overwhelmed in terms of time and investment.
"Every progress is gratifying." Zhu Youxiao was able to look at the problem from the perspective of people at that time and understand Sun Yuanhua's compliment. "I believe that in the process of minting, we can find shortcomings and continue to improve."
He reached out and pointed Sun Yuanhua. Zhu Youxiao smiled teasingly, "Sun Qing has made a contribution again, so let's go back first to speed up the coins, so that I can think about how to reward you."
Sun Yuanhua hurriedly bowed and said with joy and excitement.
Although the emperor did not immediately give him a reward, the jokes were even more valuable, which showed that the emperor's praise and trust no longer regarded him as an ordinary subject.
In the hall, Zhu Youxiao picked up the sample coins and looked at them left and right.
Then, he picked up his fingers, blew hard, and immediately put them in his ears...
My face is blown green, right?
Zhu Youxiao knew that the silver dollar could not be fake, and he also knew that his ears were not deaf. Looking at the silver dollar in his hand, he rolled his eyes and suddenly went up and took a bite.
Hey, I’ve bitten my teeth and made it clear! It’s true, it’s very good, so it’s so simple.
Zhu Youxiao laughed, but when he looked up, he saw Li Chengcheng standing at the gate of the hall with Maosil in his arms, his eyes stunned and his face was astonished.
Blinking his eyes, Zhu Youxiao threw the silver coins into the air, then took them with his left hand and slapped them with his right hand, and put the silver coins in his palm.
"Come here to guess the front and back." The emperor ordered Li Chengcheng majesticly: "If you guess wrong, you will punish you."
Oh? Ah! Li Chengcheng regrets that he came in the wrong time, and regrets that he was too obvious.
With his little mouth slightly flattened, the girl rubbed her pitifully.

Don’t talk about being a marquis, and one general will succeed and get rid of thousands of bones.
This is the case with war, and this is the case with the world. A general may be kept in history or have great military achievements, and they are all exchanged for the lives of millions of soldiers.
The soldiers are so small that they fought for the country and sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, but most of them did not even have their names left behind.
Not only Wuming, but even having enough food and clothing was a luxury, let alone enough money and complete equipment.
But all of this has changed quietly this year. The most obvious feeling is that from the refugee beggar army to the main force in fighting against Jiannu, Dongjiang Town, remote overseas.
The red fat jacket with spear, sword, shield, and red fat jacket is the equipment of the army in Kaizhen, Dongjiang. It is a timely help for the beggar army, but it is very shabby for the regular army.
But the upgrade speed was very fast. The armor was replenished after several months, muskets were continuously equipped, and there were hundreds of warships of all sizes.
Now, before winter begins, cotton coats, cotton shoes, gloves, hoods, iron faces and other supplies are being transported continuously, and the generals do not have to worry about the difficulties of winter combat.
On the one hand, the efficient organization of the imperial court is one aspect, but more importantly, the emperor can think of the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line and prepare and arrange them in advance.
Logistics support strengthened the strength of the Dongjiang Army and gave all ordinary soldiers a favor.
It is not to be ignored that if food and supplies are in distress, they will suffer the most. The treatment of officers and generals will always be better than that of them, and it has been the same from ancient times to the present.
Zhang Xiaoxi put on a hood, which was a felt pocket (Northeast Old Man's Hat) that exposed her eyes, which was both cold-proof and cushioned with discomfort on the face.
After looking at the iron masks of an evil ghost and a treacherous minister, Zhang Xiaoxi was very satisfied.
Holding the iron mask on his face and tied the rope tightly behind his head, Zhang Xiaoxi turned his head and looked around. Although his vision was a little obstructed, he felt that he must be very mighty and scary.
Hum, Hum! If you fight Jiannu again, they should be the ones who are scared?
Zhang Xiaoxi widened his eyes and looked fierce. Even though he was covered by an iron mask, others could not see it.
Bang, the head was knocked, Zhang Xiaoxi quickly turned his head, then took off his iron face and hood, and bowed with a smile and shouted, "Sir."
Feng Datie nodded and said, "If you try it, put it away. If you don't fit, let the craftsmen repair it. It's not useful now, so don't lose it."
The superior has already achieved majesty, not by military uniforms or titles. It is the dark red scars on his face, like shining medals. Who dares to disrespect in the army?
"Yes, I'll just stop it now." Zhang Xiaoxi responded respectfully.
Feng Datie looked at the young man, as if satisfied with his stronger body, and said, "The court has transported another batch of eagle guns to our army. Although you have not been selected for training before, do you want to try this time?"
"Think!" Zhang Xiaoxi did not hesitate at all, and showed joy on his face. He liked that mighty guy from the bottom of his heart.
Feng Datie smiled and said, "I heard that the eagle gun has been improved this time, and the requirements for the soldiers' bodies have been reduced. Maybe you can really be selected."
Zhang Xiaoxi grinned and smiled and said, "That's certain, I've been practicing very hard recently-" As he said that, he bent his arms and showed it to the chief, "Sir, these lumps are bulging."
Feng Datie reached out and patted, nodded and said, "Well, it's not bad, I'm a strong guy, I'll perform well tomorrow."
After saying that, Feng Datie didn't talk nonsense and turned around and left.
Seeing the commander leave, Zhang Xiaoxi blinked and started push-ups.
Hey, hey, the eagle gun is mine, and it can kill Jiannu with one shot!
