Chapter 641

As the temperature of the water lighter boiler rises, after pressing the speed regulating valve, the flywheel of the water lighter slowly rotates. The rotating flywheel of the water lighter drives the elbow press coin machine with gears. Like the rudder of a ship, the huge metal turntable with many spokes moves. With the rotation of the huge disc on the coin machine, the connecting rod connecting the spokes also moves, The connecting rod is connected with the elbow joint fixed on the machine table with a movable joint. The upper end of the elbow joint is fixed on the machine body, and the lower part is the slider for placing the upper coin mold. With the connecting rod pushing the elbow joint, the slider moves at once, presses downward, and the automatic feeding holding clamp also starts automatic feeding

Blink of an eye, Hua la la

The pleasant sound sounded, and the glittering silver coins flowed out of the outlet of the elbow press coinage machine and fell into the frame below.

The sound, heard in the ears of the people around, suddenly caused a commotion like listening to the sounds of nature.

"Come out, come out, this coin really comes out..." the craftsmen nearby shouted, causing a cheer.

The steam engine is turning, and the elbow press coinage machine is also turning, because the casting material has been prepared long ago. At the outlet of the coinage machine, the clattering silver coins flow down every second or two.

"It's really made. It's that simple!" Qian Su also watched and his eyes widened. Even if the coin machine and the water lighter were made in the manufacturing Bureau, Qian Su still felt magical and dreamy when he watched the process of connecting the two machines made by his familiar craftsmen and turning silver into silver coins, In Qian Su's eyes, there seems to be a magical rhythm in it, which makes people intoxicated. It was originally very difficult to make coins, but under Yan Liqiang, it suddenly became extremely simple.

After a while, there were hundreds of white silver coins in the frame under the coin outlet of the coin machine. Qian Su bent down and picked up a silver coin from the frame. He just took the silver coin in his hand. The glittering silver coin made Qian Su feel like he couldn't put it down and exclaimed, "it's so beautiful, so beautiful, this coin, How can it be so exquisite and beautiful? It's more exquisite than women's jewelry and better than paintings... "

The silver coin in Qian Su's hand is about the same size as the mouth of the drinking ox eye cup. Compared with all kinds of large and small silver in circulation on the market, this silver coin is simply beautiful. Of course, the main material of the silver coin is silver, but a small amount of copper is added into the silver. The strength, hardness and wear resistance of the silver coin, Compared with ordinary silver, the gloss and the texture in your hand are greatly improved.

"Ah..." Qian Su was suddenly restrained, and his mind couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Yan Liqiang, "casting copper money for the imperial court?"

"Well, it's just my idea. I'll take my time to see the details. Once this thing is done, even if the profit is only 5%..." Yan Liqiang said vaguely,

On the front of the silver coin, the pattern above is the mountain range of Qiyun mountain. Around the mountain range, there is a neat and beautiful line of Chinese characters - supervised by the Qi Yun governor's guard house of the Han Empire. Under the pattern of Qiyun mountain, there are two words "one money", which is the equivalent face value of the silver coin. Under the word "one money", it is the time of this year - the 16th year of Yuanping!

On the back of the silver coin, there is a sheep with a charming appearance and wool. Under the sheep, there is also the word "one money"

There is a circle of fine side teeth in the round turn of the silver coin. The pattern of the whole silver coin is concave and convex, just like a carefully carved work of art

It is no exaggeration to say that the whole silver continent has not had such exquisite coins since ancient times.

Looking at the silver coin in his hand, Qian Su couldn't help but take out a copper coin issued by the Han Empire from himself and compare it - the rough font on the copper coin and the polished edge are the difference between the aunt in the village and the beautiful woman

"This silver coin is too exquisite. It's just such a beautiful silver coin. According to the habit, even if we send it to everyone, I'm afraid no one will be willing to spend it. I think ordinary people hide it once they get it and won't spend it easily..." Qian Su looked at Yan Liqiang and said.

Yan Liqiang also holds a silver coin in his hand. At this time, Yan Liqiang has a strange sense of pride in his heart, because the teacher who taught him to draw in his last life once said that the most proud and awesome painters with special skills are those who can print their own paintings on the money. When making molds with the patterns on the silver coin, It uses Yan Liqiang's paintings and characters.

Teacher, you didn't arrive first. One day my painting also appeared on the coin. Yan Liqiang said in his heart.

To tell the truth, at the beginning, he wanted to make his own head on the back of the silver coin, but later he thought it over and thought it was too exaggerated, so he decided to make a popular sheep on the back of the silver coin.

After returning to Pingxi city from baishiguan, Yan Liqiang stayed in the manufacturing Bureau for many days. Under Yan Liqiang's personal supervision and guidance, the manufacturing Bureau finally built the prototype of the toggle press coining machine. To tell the truth, this toggle press coining machine is not as complex as the steam engine in terms of structure and manufacturing difficulty, and its structure and parts are relatively simple, Before, because there was no real object, the craftsmen of the manufacturing bureau could not grasp several places on the drawings drawn by Yan Liqiang, especially the operation of the elbow joint and die of the coinage machine, so they didn't get it out. This time, Yan Liqiang personally guided him to get out of the machine, which is completely logical.

Although the coin machine in front of us looks rough, especially the steel frame parts poured on the machine are a little cumbersome, there is no doubt that it can be used. Hearing Qian Su's words, Yan Liqiang threw the silver coin in his hand into the frame and smiled at Qian su. "If the number of silver coins is small, people will indeed hide it and will not use it easily, but if its circulation is large, then slowly, people will take it out and use it. I think in a few months, The salaries of officials and soldiers at all levels in Qiyun County, as well as the military rewards of soldiers in the army, can be paid in silver coins, but the coin machine in front of us is not enough. The manufacturing Bureau needs to get a mint here, and the mint will put hundreds of coin machines, which will naturally be more efficient... "By the way, there are thin tooth marks on the edge of the silver coin, What's the use? " Qian Su touched the side teeth of the silver coin in his hand and asked suspiciously“ If someone wants to sneak, cheat and play tricks on this silver coin, even if he just grinds a little silver powder from a silver coin, he can be found as soon as the teeth here are ground flat! "“ Ah, I see! " Qian Su looked again at the copper coins that had been polished on the edge of his hand. He suddenly realized it and patted his head. "It's exquisite, exquisite, Li Qiang. You can really think of anything in your head. Cough... Cough... With this prototype, it's not difficult to produce other coin machines, but once the coin machine is built, someone must know, At that time, if someone wanted to buy it, would we sell it? "“ Of course not. The security level of the coin machine is the same as that of the spring in the manufacturing Bureau. Thank you, uncle Qian, for paying more attention! " Yan Liqiang said, and he went outside and handed it over to the craftsmen. Qian Su watched Yan Liqiang leave. He took away the silver coin in his hand and walked up with him. "This coin machine is a profitable thing. If you want to sell it, the sales volume must be very good. It must be more popular than the water lighter. Why don't you want to sell it?" Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Yan Liqiang winked at Qian Su, "the imperial court now consumes a lot of fire to forge copper money. I heard that one kilogram of tongs will go on, and the copper money that the imperial court can finally make will be six or seven Liang. Uncle Qian, do you want me to take over the business of forging copper money from the imperial court and reduce the fire consumption of the imperial court by half?"“ Ah... "Qian Su was completely restrained by Yan Liqiang's wild ideas in his head, and couldn't keep up with Yan Liqiang's rhythm," casting copper money for the imperial court? "“ This is just an idea of mine. Look at it slowly. If it is done, the benefits will be thousands of times stronger than doing wool business... "Yan Liqiang said vaguely“ When it comes to the wool business, there is news from Baishi pass that it has been three consecutive days and those Shatu people are still unwilling to obey. Now there are 70 or 80 Shatu people's caravans gathered outside Baishi pass. Those Shatu people's caravans are consuming with us outside Baishi pass and are unwilling to sell the wool to us. In the bianji of Yingwei County, all the wool has been sold out in the past two days, The merchants from all sides couldn't buy wool and made a little trouble... "Yan Liqiang smiled," those Shatu people are still a little lucky and are still waiting for the news of the master behind them. Uncle Qian, wait and see. As long as we do our things well, they will be soft in a few days, This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation
