"How serious?"

Zhao Xiang asked Zhang Shangshu in a low voice: "So expensive?"

"Expensive? You go and ask how much it costs to use for the Liao Kingdom, and I listen..." Zhang Shangshu looked around and found that no one was paying attention, and leaned over and whispered: "I heard that boy Song Beiyun said, what kind of spirit is used by the Liao Kingdom? We are 2 points zero. The version is higher than theirs. The range, accuracy and convenience are improved. The Liao Kingdom just spends money to test the performance of the weapon for us."

"That guy... is really bad." Zhao Xiang shook his head gently: "I don't talk about any kindness, righteousness, and morality."

"My old prime minister..." Zhang Shangshu sneered: "When the Liao Kingdom comes, you will talk to them about what kind of benevolence, righteousness and morality are."

Zhao Xiang was silent for a moment and pointed to the pastry on the plate: "This pastry is good and delicious."

"Hahahahaha..." Zhang Shangshu laughed, pinched up a piece and put it in his mouth: "It's really good."

While they were chatting, the general manager in front had already settled the accounts for Zhao Xing and the others, why was this shell so expensive?

Because the cost of R&D, labor, design, material consumption and so on is balanced here.

When he said this, General An jumped up again: "The world is the world of the official family, how can you ask the right hand for money?"

"Oh, General An, this is wrong." The Minister of Revenue stood up and said, "Although the workshop is domestic, it is not a yamen, so how can we say it? Besides, if you take some of it today and he will take some tomorrow, if the workshop is unsustainable, where can you get these good things? Anyway, it is all the treasury allocation, so you will have no worries. But the old minister begged the officials to consider it again and again, this labor... is a bit expensive."

Zhang Shangshu looked at Zhao Xiang, hugged his fists and stood up, and bowed to Zhao Xing, saying, "Not everyone can be the workers in the workshop. Both men and women need to be selected layer by layer. Putting aside the first batch of craftsmen, we will learn to read and understand literature from the second batch. Although we do not seek to be like those scholars, if we cannot achieve this, we will definitely not be recruited."

"Shangshu Zhang, let me ask you, are those female workers also known and interpreted characters?" The Minister of Revenue asked again: "What can they do with this?"

The Minister of Works glanced at the Minister of War, and then smiled and said, "There is a chance for this matter. These women came here to work, not just for their husbands."

"His husband?"

"That's right." Old Zhang smiled softly: "The husbands of these women are all personnel in the Song Dynasty. They are injured, disabled and killed by war and cannot work. The workshop will include their children or wives in to alleviate their livelihoods in the family."

"However, why is the pension still being paid?"

As soon as I spoke this sentence, it was like poking a hornet's nest. The Minister of War was the first to stand up and walked up to him and said, "If I had not been the millions of warriors in the Song Dynasty, I would have been bullied so much. Now, sir, are you a little unkind?"

The generals were even more indignant and rushed up to argue. The Minister of War said again: "If it seems peaceful today, but who knows what to do if the war starts again? If the soldiers cannot be without worries, how could they work for the country? I have not been in command of the Ministry of War for a long time, but I saw that there were thousands of casualties in Jinling City alone. I still disdain to say that if I cannot even give preferential treatment to this point, will the war start again in the future, will it be the lord or will I go?"

Because the Minister of Revenue flashed and started a group, the people in the court suddenly started a group on the top of the cold mountain...

Seeing that the momentum was not good, Zhao Xing quickly coughed and stood up and said, "My dear friends, everyone is sharing the worries of the country. I will talk about this matter when I go back to the court. I have seen this workshop less than one or two. If I delay it, I may be dark."

At this time, the general manager stepped forward again and said to Zhao Xing: "The wind here is very cold, and it is getting late when the Caomin saw it. It is better to... the Caomin went to the canteen with Caomin to have a hot meal before continuing to browse."

"That's OK." Zhao Xing stood up and said to his subordinates: "My dear friends, go and try the food in this workshop first. By the way, don't place this person in charge. Just follow the usual greetings of the craftsmen and workers. I want to see what they used to eat."

The general manager looked puzzled: "This... the villain has prepared something else."

Zhao Xing glared: "Then you can give it to the craftsman!"

"Yes...yes...the villain obeys the order."

When everyone came to the canteen, they naturally could not let the workers come here to eat today, so the huge canteen seemed a little deserted.

Zhao Xing felt that the line of food was quite novel, so he wanted to take the rice bowl to the window to get food. The first and second rank officials had to follow him and line up to make food quietly according to his official rank and status. Even if the second window was opened, they would not dare to cross Zhao Xing.

“The food here is so cheap?”

Zhao Xing looked at the wooden sign above his head. The wooden sign was so smoky that it seemed that it was a while, and he didn't change it. He said that one or two rice was only one cent, three dishes and one soup only cost ten cents, and five dishes and one soup were only two meats and three vegetables, but only twenty-five cents. This is not something you can eat even in the most remote countryside, let alone the prosperous Jinling City.

"Return... back to the official family, this is the case. Lord Song said that the price is just like this. Not only will we make up for the deficit every month, we will also give us a certain additional salary."

The little girl who was cooking was not very old and looked like she was here to help her parents work. She was a little nervous when Zhao Xing asked about it. Lord Song blurted out the words, which made Zhao Xing nervous...

Fortunately, behind Zhao Xing was the Prime Minister. Although he heard it, he pretended that he didn't hear anything.

Zhao Xing didn't dare to talk more, so he quickly chose a few of the dozen types of food, held the food box and sat next to him.

"Meatballs, roast duck, dried tofu... and green vegetables and bean sprouts."

Zhao Xiang, who was cooking later, also got a novelty. Although he often went to medical school for some time before, the food in the Academy of Sciences was independent and much better than that in the workshop.

But it seems that it is not bad here, with all kinds of meat, eggs and vegetables. These dishes are eaten by hard-working people, so they taste more severe. The old man didn't feel good about the taste and didn't like eating very much in the past, but today, the soup and juice are all in the same food box, which is full of flavor, and he likes it the first bite.

The officials and workers were also surprised. You should know that the price of this dish is not reduced wherever they are placed. They are a little stingy and cannot eat such good food on most of the time.

Zhao Xing was also hungry, and it was extremely spicy with this spicy meal. However, he couldn't pick up the rice bowl like those of the group Qiu Ba and pour it into his mouth, but he also kept spoonfuls of spoons.

"To be honest, Zhao Xiang."

Zhao Xiang was eating slowly. After all, he was older and it was not easy to sweep away the clouds like Zhao Xing. After hearing Zhao Xing's words, he slowly raised his head: "Please speak with the official."

"Do you think this place is not the same as the Song Dynasty we know? "

Speaking of this, Zhao Xiang was immediately touched. He nodded repeatedly and said, "That's true. The old minister had lived in the medical school for a while before, and he could feel it from there."

Zhao Xing immediately became interested: "Tell me."

"This... the old minister couldn't figure it out, but he always heard those young people chatting and made the old minister feel quite touched. If you want to tell me what is the difference between this place and the Song Dynasty outside..." Zhao Xiang pondered for a moment and said: "That is that it made the old minister much younger. The Song Dynasty outside was dead, but here was as full of vitality as the sunrise."

"Well..." Zhao Xing sighed: "It would be great if the entire Song Dynasty was like this."

"Haha..." Zhao Xiang sighed deeply: "I'm afraid the old minister can't see it, but the official family will definitely see that day."

After a meal, some people are actually concerned about the price. They think that these hardships are so good, but after the morning experience, they are actually not confident to say that, because the improvements brought by the so-called strange and lewd skills are something they have never achieved in their entire lives.

However, this kind of extravagant style cannot be encouraged, so they decided to go back and write a sealed note, at least...at least... there is no need for those big chunks of buttoned pork, right?

In the afternoon, their first stop was to go to the workshop's "vegetable garden". Of course, it was a bit too much to say that the vegetable garden was here. In addition to the experimental greenhouses of a few acres of land, there were also 100,000 acres of mountains, forests, paddy fields, and ponds, 100,000 acres!

However, these 100,000 acres are used for farming, breeding, and no one can say anything. Instead, there was a first time praise from top to bottom.

Later, they ate canned fruits and various foods made from fruits and vegetables in the farms, and they praised them all. Finally, from Zhao Xing to the guards at Xia Tou, everyone held different agricultural products in their hands. What are pork, mutton, fish, eggs, persimmon cakes, oranges, it felt like they were just visiting the farmers' market.

Anyway, it was already evening when they walked out of the workshop. They hadn't even finished half of the workshop alone. They were a little tired, but everyone had to carry things out and they were still rare things, which made people very happy.

"Look at my big mandarin fish, tsk..." Zhao Xing was carrying a huge mandarin fish and a basket of local eggs, which looked like a local bun that had never seen the world: "I have to take this egg back to replenish the Empress Dowager. The newly born one is still very hot."

Zhao Xiang chose some green leafy vegetables and secretly despised Zhao Xing. After all, there were not many green leafy vegetables that were eaten by this energy-saving energy. The market was much more expensive than meat. The old man didn't have a few meals in a winter. If he hadn't been able to go to Song Beiyun to have a tooth sacrifice occasionally, he would have even had a problem with the courtesy.
