As the temperature of the water-fired boiler rises, after pressing the speed control valve, the flywheel of the water-fired machine slowly rotates. The flywheel of the rotating water-fired machine drives the elbow-type press machine with gears like a ship. The rudder of a ship has a huge metal turntable with many spokes. As the huge disc on the coin machine rotates, the connecting rod connected to the spokes also moves. This connecting rod is used to move the toggle joint fixed on the machine platform. The joints are connected together, the upper end of the elbow is fixed to the body, and the lower part is a slider for placing a coin mold. As the link pushes the elbow, the slider moves at once, presses downward, and automatically advances. The material gripper also starts to feed automatically ...

The blink of an eye, wow ...

The melodious voice sounded, and the silver coins flowed out of the coin outlet of the elbow-pressed coin press, and fell into the lower frame.

This sound, 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 artisans next to them cried, causing a cheer.

The steam engine was turning, and the elbow-type press machine was also turning, because the casting material was already prepared, and the coin outlet of the coin machine would flow down every one or two seconds.

"It's really made, it's that simple!" Qian Su was watching beside him, his eyes widened, even though both the minter and the water-fire machine were made in the manufacturing bureau, but he watched a handful of craftsmen familiar with himself. The process of turning the silver into silver coins after the two machines were connected together, Qian Su still felt amazing and had a dreamy feeling. In the eyes of Qian Su, the two rotating machines seemed to have a This kind of magic rhythm is intoxicating. Originally, coinage was extremely difficult, but under Yan Liqiang's hands, it became extremely simple.

It took only a while, and there were already hundreds of silver coins in the box below the coin outlet of the coin machine. Qian Su bent over and picked up a silver coin from the box, just holding that silver coin in his hand. On top of that, the glittering silver coins gave Qian Su a feeling of being in love, exclaiming again and again, "Too beautiful, too beautiful, how can this coin be so delicate and beautiful, it is even more delicate than women's jewelry It looks better than painting ... "

The silver coins held in Qian Su's hands are about the same size as the cups of the drinking bull's eye cups. Compared to the various large and small silvers in the market, this silver coin is pretty beautiful. The main material of silver coins is of course silver, but a small amount of copper is added to the silver. The strength, hardness, abrasion resistance, gloss, and texture of the silver coins are huge compared to ordinary silver. Of improvement.

"Ah ..." Qian Su was calmed down, and the thinking in his head couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Yan Liqiang. "Cast copper for the court?"

"Well, this is just one of my thoughts. I need to take a closer look at it. Once this thing is done, even if the profit is only 5%, it will be impossible ..." Yan Liqiang said vaguely,

On the front of the silver coin, the pattern above is exactly the mountain range of Qiyun Mountain. A circle around the mountain has a neat and beautiful line of Chinese characters—supervised by the Han Dynasty Empire ’s Qiyun Governor ’s House. Below the Qiyun Mountain pattern, there are two more characters. "One money", this is the equal denomination of silver coins. Under the words "one money", it is the time of this year-Yuanping sixteen years!

And on the back of the silver coin, there is a sheep who can sting a wool, and under the sheep, there is also the word "a money" ...

Just after the silver coins revolved, there was a circle of fine and delicate edges. The pattern of the entire silver coin was uneven, just like a carefully crafted artwork ...

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire silver continent has never had such a delicate coin since ancient times.

Looking at the silver coin in his hand, Qian couldn't help but pulled out a copper coin issued by the Han Dynasty from his own body to compare it-the rough font on the copper coin, and the edge being smoothed, two phases A comparison is simply the gap between the village's aunt and the stunning beauty ...

"This silver coin is too fine, just such a fine silver coin. According to the habit, even if we send it to everyone, I am afraid no one is willing to spend it. I think that ordinary people will hide it when they get it. Will spend it ... "Qian Su said looking at Yan Liqiang.

Yan Liqiang also had a silver coin in his hand. At this time, Yan Liqiang had a strange sense of pride, because the teacher who taught him to paint in the past said that the painters with special skills like them were the most proud and the best. The ones that can be printed on money are printed on the money, and the patterns on the silver coins are used. When making molds, Yan Liqiang's paintings and characters are used.

Teacher, you didn't arrive first, one day the things I drew appeared on the coins, Yan Liqiang said secretly in his heart.

To be honest, at the beginning, the pattern on the back of the silver coin was originally intended to be his own avatar, but later he thought about it, thinking that it seemed too exaggerated, so he decided to get a silver coin on the back. Pattern of cute sheep.

After returning from Pingshiguan to Pingxi City, Yan Liqiang was soaked in the manufacturing bureau for many consecutive days. Under the personal supervision and guidance of Yan Liqiang, the manufacturing bureau finally built the prototype of this elbow press press minting machine, to be honest In terms of structure and manufacturing difficulty, this elbow press coin minter is not as complicated as a steam engine, and the structure and parts are relatively simple. Because there were no physical objects, the craftsmen of the Manufacturing Bureau made a few drawings on Yan Liqiang. Some places are not sure, especially the elbow joints and the operation of the stamper of the coin minter can not be understood, this has not been figured out, this time Yan Liqiang personally guides to get this machine out of order.

Although the coin machine in front of me looks rough, especially the steel frame parts poured on the machine seem a bit heavy, but it can be used, but there is no doubt about it.

Hearing Qian Su's words, Yan Liqiang threw the silver coin in the box and smiled at Qian Su, "If this silver coin is issued in a small quantity, everyone will indeed hide it and will not use it easily, but if It has a large circulation. So, slowly, if everyone sees something strange, it will be used naturally. I see that in a few months, the puppet servants of officials at all levels in Qiyun County, and soldiers in the army Army rewards can be issued with silver coins, but this coin machine is not enough right now. The manufacturing bureau has to set up a mint, and put a few hundred mint machines in the mint. This efficiency is naturally high ... ... "

"By the way, the thin tooth marks on the side of this silver coin, what's the use?" Qian Su touched the edge of the silver coin and asked in doubt.

"If someone wants to sneak and play tricks on this silver coin, even if they just grind a tiny amount of silver powder from a silver coin, the teeth can be found as soon as they are polished!"

"Oh, that's it!" Qian Su looked again at the copper coins that had been smoothed on the edge of his hand, and suddenly realized that he had patted his head. "Exquisite, subtle, Li Qiang is really in your head. Anything can be thought of, cough ... cough ... With this prototype, it is not difficult to produce other mints, but as soon as this minter is built, someone must know that if someone wants to buy at that time, we Is it for sale? "

"Of course not for sale. The security level of this coin machine is in the manufacturing bureau, and it is one level higher than the spring. You have to pay more attention to this uncle!"

Yan Liqiang said, he went outside and handed it over to the craftsmen. Qian Su watched Yan Liqiang leave. He put the silver coin in his hand and went up with it. "This coin machine is beneficial If you can sell something that is profitable, it must be sold well. It is definitely more popular than water lighters. Why are you not willing to sell it, Li Qiang? "

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, UU read the book www. uukanshu.com Yan Liqiang blinked at Qian Su, "The imperial court now spends a lot of money on casting copper coins. I heard that a pound of tongs will be sent down, and the copper coins that the imperial court can finally tinker with will be six or seven. It said that if I took over the business of minting copper coins from the court, the court would consume half the fire, would the court be willing?

"Ah ..." Qian Su was completely stunned by Yan Liqiang's wild ideas in his head. He couldn't keep up with Yan Liqiang's rhythm. "Cast copper for the court?"

"This is just one of my thoughts. If you do it slowly, the benefits will be thousands of times stronger than wool business ..." Yan Liqiang said vaguely.

"Speaking of the wool business, news came from Baishiguan, saying that it has been three days in a row, and those Shatu people are still reluctant to submit. Now outside Baishiguan, there are already 70 or 80 Shatu people's caravans. Those Shatu people's caravans are consuming outside of Baishi Pass, and are unwilling to sell wool to us. In Yingwei County, all the wool has been sold out in the past two days. Those merchants from all sides cannot buy it. To the wool, I made a little mess ... "

Yan Liqiang smiled slightly. "The Shatu people are still a bit lucky, and they are still waiting for the news from the master behind them. Uncle Qian, you are waiting to be optimistic. As long as we do our work well, it will not take a few days for those Shatu people. It's soft, they can't stand it for a few days ... "
