Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Originally, Zhao Ji was thinking that since these things were of no use now, he would just dismantle them on the spot and burn them on fire.

After all, if such a thing is taken out in the future, it can only be used for entertainment and boredom.

But Zhao Ji looked back and thought again, if he really did this now, what if the woman Yelu Nanxian came to ask for it from him again in the future?

Then wouldn't he have to break his trust again?

So Zhao Ji immediately asked Shen Kuo to send people to the post house where Yelu Nanxian was staying to ask him what to do with these chariots.

If that woman still wants to transport these chariots back to the Liao Kingdom, then let her do whatever she wants.

But in the evening, when Zhao Ji received a message from Yelu Nanxian, he almost made him laugh:

"With such a dog-powered chariot, it is useless for me, the Lord of Daliao, to go there." '

'Why don't you leave it to your country and take it out to kill the enemy when you fight with the enemy in the future. '

'But when the time comes, when carrying these dog-powered chariots on the battlefield, you must choose a group of obedient and sensible dogs. '

'If not, when he goes to the battlefield in the future, once those dogs turn around and bite his soldiers, it will be harmful to others and himself! '

……

In the next few days, Zhao Ji never saw Yelu Nanxian again.

It was not until more than ten days later that the news about Yelu Nanxian was learned from the officials at the post house.

Na Nizi actually led her team of envoys to leave Tokyo City a few days ago and returned to the Liao Kingdom.

Regarding this, Zhao Ji felt quite sad.

After all, God had given such a good opportunity, but Zhao Ji failed to grasp it.

At this point, the little mermaid has swam back to the sea.

As for whether we can meet again after this, I'm afraid it all depends on fate.

But within these ten days, another thing happened that also impressed Zhao Ji very deeply.

That is, the number of gold and silver treasures confiscated from the houses of Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian, Tong Guan, Zhujiazhuang, Zengtou City and other places has now been summarized.

The amount of silver alone is 8000 million taels!

And what about gold?

Although the quantity is much lower than that of silver, it is still 960 million taels!

As for other gold and silver jewelry, jewelry, cultural toys, calligraphy and paintings, antiques and other items, there are countless others.

Of course, among these gold and silver treasures, the old thief Cai Jing alone contributed more than [-]%.

To describe Cai Jing himself as being extremely wealthy is an insult to Cai Jing himself.

The original Zhao Ji was quite poor.

They are even so poor that if they want to distribute relief money to disaster areas, they have to ask for it from their wives.

But now?

After successively rectifying and investigating the residences of several corrupt officials, Zhao Ji himself suddenly became a veritable rich man in the Song Dynasty.

When Zhao Ji originally gave the Ministry of Industry the task of manufacturing steel chariots, he did not dare to let them build too many at once.

If not for anything else, I am afraid that I will not be able to produce so much silver for manufacturing.

But now Zhao Ji is not afraid anymore.

With hundreds of millions of silver in his hands, he couldn't even build several steel chariots at this moment.

As long as Zhao Ji has that kind of technology, even if he can create an aircraft carrier formation and several artillery regiments, it will be more than enough.

During the last battle against Cai Jing's bandits, Zhao Ji had already realized the super-burning effect those steel chariots could exert on the battlefield.

Although at that time, it was not equipped with an artillery system equivalent to those five steel chariots.

However, he also used his own advantages in charging and shooting crossbows outwards to severely damage Cai Jing's troops on the frontal battlefield.

What if at that time, the Ping'an Dazhai and Shuibo Liangshan coalition forces did not have these five steel chariots as the main force of the charge.

The outcome of the battle that day is still uncertain.

So at this moment, Zhao Ji, who had a large amount of silver in his hand, immediately summoned Shen Kuo to the minister's study room.

This time, Hong Tianlei Lingzhen, who was very good at making artillery explosives, went to Shangshufang with Shen Kuo.

Zhao Ji's purpose of calling these two people to the minister's study room this time is also very clear.

I just wanted to discuss with those two people the feasibility of combining artillery and steel chariots into one.

After all, only a steel chariot equipped with an artillery system can be truly called a tank and become the true king of land warfare.

When Ling Zhen heard from Zhao Ji that he wanted him to install the artillery on some kind of steel chariot.

Ling Zhen, who was very good at making artillery, couldn't help but feel unsure.

After all, during this period, although the production technology of the artillery system had gradually become perfected.

But the usual point of action is to gather several artillery pieces together in advance and secretly place them on the battlefield before the big war comes.

And when the war started, one person used artillery to convey instructions on the battlefield and served as a trumpet cannon.

The second is to undermine the enemy's confidence in combat.

In addition, there are very few large-scale artillery that are actually used to kill enemies on the battlefield and eliminate the enemy's effective strength to a great extent.

Therefore, when Ling Zhen suddenly heard from Zhao Ji that he wanted to make a small artillery that could be installed on a steel chariot.

Ling Zhen couldn't help but feel very embarrassed.

Because here, it not only involves the ignition problem of miniaturized artillery and the filling of ammunition, but also involves the aiming problem of the steel chariot during its movement.

As for other invisible problems that are very easy to occur during the production process, there are countless.

Therefore, Ling Zhen did not give an answer to Zhao Ji's request in person whether he could or could not do it. He just said with a very complicated expression:

"As long as the official family has a destiny, the humble minister will do his best."

"As for whether it can be successful, Wei Chen doesn't have much confidence in his heart."

Zhao Ji responded with a very understanding attitude.

But when Zhao Ji asked how many craftsmen there were in the artillery manufacturing camp, Zhao Ji couldn't help but fall into deep thought:

"More than 350 people, more than 350 people!"

"However, there are only less than ten technical talents actually involved in the artillery assembly, debugging, and improvement process."

"What do the remaining 340 people do?"

After hearing this, Ling Zhen sighed with helplessness:

"Those people are all handymen responsible for the processing and design of basic iron parts. There are very few who truly understand the core casting technology."

Zhao Ji, who was sitting next to the dragon table, slowly picked up the tea bowl from the tea table on one side, and while gently scratching the tea lid, he was thoughtful in his heart.
