Han Qi heard that there was a second book, and said strangely: "Why, don't you finish engraving the books here at once, do you still have to publish them one by one? There are many series of books, but I haven't heard of such a collection in the new collection. ↖"

Xu Ping said: "What's the matter? I plan to release one in half a month, when will I explain the money method clearly and when will I stop? After reading the books published earlier, you can write down any ideas in the next one."

"This is new. Yun Xing can always come up with these strange ways." Han Qi shook his head and smiled, "But in this way, I don't know if it's too late to engrave the version, I'm afraid the cost is also quite high."

"Worry about what this is for! I have movable type, and it doesn't take much effort to type. Moreover, the typewriter originally hired other books there, but just took the time to arrange our books."

Han Qi slapped the table: "I forgot that movable type was proposed by you first, so how can I not use it yourself? However, the movable type printed books here in the capital are not as good as those printed. I have read the movable type printed books you printed in Yongzhou, and their quality is much better than those in the capital. I think there must be a trick."

"It's nothing more than paper and ink. The craftsmen here in the capital are used to printing and carving books, and they are not good at movable type."

Xu Ping used ink in Yongzhou and the paper was also refined, so how could it be compared with the bookstores in the capital? Of course, the quality of printing movable type using the engraved craftsmanship is worse, which is also the reason why only some official documents are used. However, now that Xu Ping has returned to Beijing, the new Sansi Book Engraving Company will lead a new trend.

He talked to Han Qi about some of the contents involved in the article, and Xu Ping was suddenly shocked: "By the way, today the provincial governor and several deputy envoys made an appointment to see the cast new iron coins. The time is coming, and I want to prepare. By the way, if Zhigui is fine, he will follow him to see what is wrong and give him some opinions."

Anyway, Han Qi has already come out, so he let go. Since he wants to write the history of the development of Western Sichuan iron coins, how can he not read the new iron coins? He said to Xu Ping: "Okay, then let's go together."

The two of them left the editing office and walked a short distance to the Money Crime. These were originally under the Three Divisions and did not exceed the Three Divisions' scope.

Guo Zi has long been busy in the money minting prison, directing the craftsmen to move charcoal and turn on the furnace, and is busy sweating in winter.

Xu Ping introduced Han Qi and Guo Zi to each other, and then stood aside and watched Guo Zi be busy.

Guo Zi wiped his sweat and said to Xu Ping: "Second envoy, the furnace is about to be turned on here. Do you need to start preparing the secret medicines inside? Don't you have time to cast the money when you get it."

"It's okay, it's not too late to prepare when the provincial masters come, so that they can feel at ease. Just direct the money to mint it, remember to watch it carefully, and don't cast too much waste money to come out."

Guo Zi responded and went to see the craftsmen.

At this time, the sun slid across the sky, making it much softer, and the sunlight was still warm on its body. Guo Zi stood by the craftsman with concentration, looking at the red fire, the iron blocks in the stove slowly turned into red iron.

Xu Ping also thought about changing the method of making money from casting to forging, but that was related to materials and equipment, and it was not something that could be accomplished in an urgent manner. Now he should make some achievements as soon as possible to increase the confidence of those who are optimistic about him.

There was a noise from the entrance, and Kou Yu, the envoy of the Third Division, led Wang Weizheng, deputy envoy of the Ministry of Revenue, and Li Hong, deputy envoy of the Du Branch, finally arrived.

Xu Ping and the other two hurriedly stepped forward to see the gift and led the three of them to the money minting construction site.

Standing by the fireside for a while, Kou asked, "Deputy Envoy Xu, are you ready for the secret medicine you mentioned?"

Xu Ping hurriedly said: "It's time for the provincial master to come over to debug. Please follow me."

After saying that, you should first go to the three houses next to you.

These people came here to see the mint coins, so they had seen it many times, and it was nothing strange. They came to see what Xu Ping called the secret medicine, and what magical magic it had that could turn iron coins into black and not be afraid of rust.

After entering the house, Kou Yu saw some iron coins thrown on the ground at a glance, picked up one, took it in front of him and looked carefully, and asked Xu Ping: "When did the iron coins on the ground be cast?"

"It's been two months since I was unsure at the time, so I threw it in this room to see if it would rust."

Kou nodded and handed the iron money in his hand to Wang Weizheng and Li Hong to watch.

Han Qi, who was following behind, was curious and picked up a stick of iron coins. He couldn't tell what the material was. He weighed it in his hand and it was heavy. He took a copper coin from his arms and put one in each hand to compare it. He confirmed that the black coin was iron, and it felt lighter than copper coin.

Xu Ping quickly walked forward and ordered a clerk to take down the three large jars on the shelf.

The mouth of the jar was opened, and a group of people came over to see it. They saw that the jar was white, some of which were slightly clumpy.

Li Hong said: "Previous envoy Xu, the jar looks similar to salt, but it's much white."

Xu Ping nodded: "Previous envoy Li said it well. This secret medicine looks like salt, so you have to store it carefully, for fear that someone will take it home as salt if you accidentally."

"It looks like the reality, but I don't know if it's salty or not-" Li Hong said, then reached out to the jar.

Xu Ping was startled and hurriedly stopped him: "Please be careful when Deputy Envoy Li, this secret medicine is poisonous, don't touch it!"

When Li Hong heard that it was poisonous, he was so scared that he shook his hand and asked with lingering fear: "It's poisonous, why didn't Deputy Envoy Xu say it earlier? Is it toxic? "

"It's not strong, as long as you don't touch it, there's nothing wrong."

Xu Ping said, signaling the officials to take out the balance, use a spoon to take out several kinds of powder from the jar, weigh them one by one, and divide them into three small piles.

These officials and officials have done this with Xu Ping and are familiar with the steps. After the powder is divided here, some officials have taken charcoal in and placed it under the sink in the middle of the house.

"Why do you need to burn fire under the trough?" Wang Weizheng asked as he looked.

"Yes, this secret medicine should be melted in water. It is best to use hot water, so it needs to be burned."

While Xu Ping said, he directed the officials to pour water into the trough. Xu Ping had calculated the amount of water and the amount of medicine used last time and made a scale in the trough. This time he just did it step by step.

After a moment, the trough was filled with water, and the officials set fire below. Two others took the weighed phelago powder, sprinkled evenly in the trough, and stirred back and forth with a wooden stick.

Li Hong asked, "Why don't you have to wait until the water rolls before you get rid of this medicine?"

This is not cooking meat, so why wait for the water to roll before it? Xu Ping smiled and replied, "It's okay, it's the same when the water is cold and the water is hot."

"Here, the new money is coming!" At this moment, Guo Zi brought a craftsman to bring in a bunch of new money.
Chapter completed!
