He patted the black cannon body and Gao Yuan looked at Ye Chong, "Although this thing was made and its power was still good, the cannon body was too heavy, afraid it weighed several thousand pounds, right?"

When Gao Yuan heard Gao Yuan say that the power is still good, all the political consultants following him showed disapprovingly. If this is just the power is still good, then what is power? In their opinion, this is already a rare artifact.

"The cannon body is a little heavier, but with our current domestic roads and the tires we just used, it is no problem for two horses to walk a hundred miles a day when pulling this cannon."

"Did we develop this kind of cannon to fight in China?" Gao Yuan looked at Ye Chong with a smile, "Have you considered that our combat battlefield will basically be on the enemy's land in the future? As far as I know, there is no such path as the Han Kingdom in China. Even if there is one, it is very restricted by the weather. When a rain comes, the road will be muddy. At that time, your cannon will be unable to move and become a target for your opponent."

"What the king said!" Ye Chong was stunned for a moment, and the joy that had been immersed in the power of the cannon slowly faded, "The ministers understood what the king meant, and the weight of the cannon was going to drop."

"This is just one aspect. You can relax your mind and study other types of cannons, such as infantry cannons, which are small cannons that can run away by one or two infantry. Although they are small in power, they are actually very widespread, right?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

Ye Chong looked so embarrassed, "Your Majesty, I've been working on this thing for a year or two. I wonder how long it will take to develop a new cannon?"

Gao Yuan smiled and stroked Shang Huaiyu's body: "With the foundation for researching this success, it will be much easier to develop other categories, and it will be learned from other categories. As the saying goes, you can understand everything. Just put down the reward pattern. Those who specialize in this thing will make good results that surprise you."

"This time, the security must be done well. There must be no Maowei incident again. Don't let us study the cannon hard and turn it around and get it away again." Wu Kai reminded.

"This cannon is not so easy to get rid of!" Gao Yuan smiled: "Gunpowder is just the most basic thing, and the threshold is not high, but if you want to build this cannon, you need a complete set of related industries to cooperate. If their iron smelting and steel training technology does not reach our level, they will not be able to build this cannon."

"Although that's the case, we must be careful." Jiang Jiaquan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, this time we will open the mining rights of minerals in the three counties of Liaodong. If the merchants buy the mining rights, they will naturally have supporting facilities to follow up to smelter iron and steel making. It is not ruled out that Qin Chu's spies will be mixed here. Once the technology of iron and steel making is opened, it will be much easier for them to learn."

Gao Yuan scratched his head. Everything has its benefits and is always inseparable. It is always impossible to fully integrate everything. Open the mining rights of minerals and allow the private participation. The lifting of corresponding technologies will promote a great increase in domestic production capacity, promote the great development of the economy, and bring more income to the country. However, the disadvantages will also be revealed. As Jiang Jiaquan said, some of the unique technologies in the past cannot be preserved.

"Sir, right, but this matter can only be countered with each other. This time, the Supervisory Office should have almost wiped out the people of the Black Ice Platform in the Han Dynasty. If you want to recover your vitality, it is probably not something that can be done in a short period of time. I think when they have some strength, we will have left them too far away. In this matter, I will let the Supervisory Office take more care of this matter." Gao Yuan said: "When Tang He recovers from his illness, he will come specifically to take charge of this matter."

"Tang He just got these miscellaneous things, so it would be fine if he didn't punish him. That was because he worked hard and made great contributions before, but he asked him to come out to take charge of such a big thing. Isn't it a bit..." Yan Shenghao frowned.

"The Maowei incident is not just his responsibility!" Gao Yuan shook his head, "Tang He is capable, and he has fallen on this once, and he is more experienced than others. Only those who have failed are more alert and strongly motivated to do this."

After hearing Gao Yuan say this, Yan Shenghao shut up. After all, the Supervision Bureau is not under the jurisdiction of the Council. He is independent and directly under Gao Yuan. The only one who has supervision over them is the Grand Parliament.

With excitement in his head, a group of political consultants surrounded Gao Yuan and returned to Jicheng from the exercise field. The previous dissatisfaction with Gao Yuan dragging them out of their busy affairs had long disappeared. Along the way, everyone was excited to discuss the power of this cannon. Wang Wudi was more concerned about the cost of each cannon, and he kept pulling Ye Chong to discuss this issue, hoping to reduce the cost of this cannon a little further.

The current pattern of the Han Dynasty is that everyone is in charge of political affairs and is busy. Under the close attention of the idle MPs, each department and the corps are nervous one by one. If you show some mistakes or a problem occurs, in the Grand Council, there will definitely be a great corps to blame you. The accused departments and corpses have to send people to explain. If it is indeed a problem, then you have to come back in a mess and rectify it.

Therefore, the heads of various ministries and corpses are both hated and afraid of the MPs stationed in Jicheng in various states, but they are even more accustomed to offend them. They have to do their best to do their work carefully so that they will not be poked.

Gao Yuan, who was supposed to be the busiest in the Han Kingdom, was actually the most leisurely person in Jicheng. He held a meeting with the political parties in a week to determine the problems that even the political parties could not solve. The chief officials of various departments and government offices generally would not look for Gao Yuan unless there were particularly important things, because even if you went to find them, their king might bring you back in a few words. As long as it was within your responsibilities, you would have to find ways to do it well. Don’t expect the king to stand up and support you. If you go to the king every few days to complain, you will only leave a reflection of your limited actual work ability.

It is only a month before the opening of the annual Grand Parliament. All the political parties are busy, and the members of the states are also starting to enter Beijing one after another. The eyes are more focused on the various departments and government offices, and the heads of the departments are even more afraid to neglect. If these Grand Parliamentarians catch the wrong things, the department budget for next year will definitely be reduced, and many planned things will not be carried out smoothly.

This year is a year of earth-shaking changes in the Kingdom of Han. First of all, the formal implementation of the Patent Law. All inventors will gain huge benefits due to the promulgation of the Patent Law. This also makes the newly established patent offices in various places the busiest department. More and more people are pouring into the patent offices, hoping to register patents for something they invented. Many things are ridiculous, but you have to handle them for him. But Wu Kai was a shrewd businessman after all, and he has been in charge of the party for many years and has rich experience. After a brief turmoil, he brazenly ordered that when the inventor registers his patent, in addition to submitting necessary materials, he also has to pay the registered silver. The registered silver for each patent is as high as fifty taels of silver.

This threshold suddenly stopped many people, unless the inventor fully believes that his invention can be actually used and can produce higher benefits than fifty taels of silver. Of course, if you have money and are willing to be a fool, the patent office will not stop you. Fifty taels of silver will be used to register for you. As for whether you can make you rich in the future, it will be yours.

In this way, the Patent Office has changed from a pure service department to a revenue-generating department, which made Wang Wudi of the Ministry of Finance smile and hurriedly sent people to various states to review the income of each patent office every quarter to see if they have enough pockets, which has also increased the revenue to the treasury.

The second thing that caused a sensation across the country was that Gao Yuan publicly auctioned all kinds of minerals in three counties in Liaodong. As long as the Han nationality was a national, they were qualified to participate in the auction. Of course, you have to pay a sum of silver in advance to fully prove your strength and obtain the right to mine. No matter which dynasty or dynasty, it was a profitable business. The Han Kingdom did not lack rich people. Over the years, the original landlords had accumulated a lot of money, especially the original landlords who had newly returned to the Han Kingdom and the original Wei land. They had a large amount of money because of the land reform.

However, it was difficult for the original commercial system of the Han Dynasty to let them get in. Even if they inserted it, they would not be satisfied. Gao Yuan’s newly opened hole undoubtedly allowed them to see the opportunity to increase their wealth on a large scale. Naturally, they rushed to the three counties of Liaodong to participate in this feast. The scale of this feast made Gao Yuan, the initiator, unexpectedly, and had to sigh that the people are really rich now. Such projects that require investment at least 100,000 taels of silver at once were also struggling to make profits.

However, no matter how emotional he is, Gao Yuan is too lazy to care about his work. He just wants to see the final result. Anyway, according to the situation reported by the Supervision Bureau, Sun Xiao of the Liaodong Protectorate was busy one by one, and the Grand Parliament and the Supervision Bureau also sent a lot of people to ensure that the tender was open, fair and fair.

Gao Yuan needed to raise enough money from the three counties of Liaodong to ensure the integration of Guo Quan's eastern and western arteries, and also needed a large number of people to pour into the three counties of Liaodong to enrich the population there. The three counties of Liaodong are all good places. How can they become the foreign barbarians in the mouths of the people of the Central Plains? When this hot money pours into the three counties of Liaodong, there will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes in a short period of time.

On this year's Grand Parliament, Gao Yuan is preparing to once again throw out a bill that shocks the world, that is, the property rights law that is inviolable in private property. If this law is passed in the Grand Parliament, even the state cannot swallow up personal private property at will. This will be a far-reaching bill and will surely become a milestone above the laws of the Han Kingdom. (To be continued.)
