Chapter 348: Military Boots

Su You said to Zhang Qi: "Little Seventh Brother, take our hiking boots again and ask for new ones." ”

Zhang Qi went, and after a while, he retrieved a pair of strange-looking boots.

Su You said: "Lord Wang, look, this style is different again. This is the standard military boots of the Hoarding Army. ”

The boots are similar to the high-top boots of later generations, with the same introduction of brass keyholes and laces, and the bottom layer is pressed with multiple layers of leather and glue, and two rows of iron nails are added.

Su You said: "This is a field military boot, made of full leather, the grip is far more than the hemp shoes, can tightly wrap the feet, form effective protection, march and fight, very comfortable and effective." ”

"The study of application is like dividing a circle into fives, and the most important thing is to use it flexibly."

"The prince wants to talk about decency, so your shoes must be like the black boots just now; Sergeants are looking for speed, so their shoes have to be like these field boots. ”

"It's all transformation, different situations, different changes are needed, and it's by no means one-size-fits-all."

"If what you learn by doing it doesn't work, it's a joke."

After speaking, he unscrewed the nails on the soles of his shoes with a special wrench handed over by Zhang Qi, and then got out of the car: "Lord Wang, these boots look easy, but there are actually many special little places. ”

"The spikes use a screw-and-nut structure, which can be replaced with a flat head or a longer nail head, which can be used interchangeably to suit different terrains."

"The shoelaces are made of silk and linen blended thread and a third-generation knotting machine to ensure strength."

"The sole is leather with glue, pressed with a press, then cut with a stamping machine mold, and then two pieces of clamp embedded nail seats, and then glued, silk thread reinforcement."

"Under the laces, add a soft leather tongue to prevent water ingress."

"On the back of the boots, there is also a small leather ring that makes it easy to lift the shoes."

"Lord Wang, this military boot is a system formed by the Hoard Security Army and the Crane Control Army in many years of war, looking for veterans to collect opinions little by little, gradually improve them, and finally form a system."

"Therefore, the learning of application, things do not have to be done too much and too completely. It's all about perseverance. “

"Over time, being able to do something fine enough is a great achievement."

"What can these boots achieve? Hoarding security to control the second army of cranes, marching on foot, crossing mountains and mountains as if walking on flat ground. Their highest marching record is that they traveled hundreds of miles between the mountains and forests day and night, and no one was left behind, and they could still engage in battle. ”

Zhao Ji and Su Xun were okay, they didn't know what this concept was, but Su Song and Han Wei were so shocked that their eyes bulged.

Su You continued: "Of course, to do this, in addition to these boots, there are many, many aspects, soldiers' food, equipment, training, treatment, morale...... Only when all kinds of things add up can such combat power be formed. ”

Su Song breathed a sigh of relief: "I finally have a little confidence in Mingrun's defense of Weizhou." ”

Han Wei gave up his hand to Su You: "Mingrun, it's not too early, Lord Wang, it's time for us to leave." ”

Su Song said: "Let's come together, I was afraid of Mingrun's empty words before I came, but now I see that you attach so much importance to it and have a good order, I am relieved." ”

Su You sent the three of them out, and Zhao Ji said: "Mingrun, my father was sick before, and his words hurt the Queen Mother, and I have to listen to your advice today, although I have the heart to turn around, I still have some opportunities." ”

"Before, Han Qi applied for Uncle Cao to remove the envoy, I wonder if he can make an envoy in this regard, and let Han Zhiguo go to the ministers to publicize it and help him succeed."

Su You was shocked: "Never!" ”

Zhao Ji was a little strange: "Why? ”

Su You bowed and said: "The minister lost the favor of the queen mother before, and the queen mother was unhappy, and she talked about the prince." Holding the country and other forces to persuade the king to be filial piety and courtesy, this is the right way. ”

"If the prince helps the uncle of the country, the ministers are afraid that the old gap between the official family and the queen mother will not be filled, and a new gap will be born between the official family and the prince!"

"Lord Wang, now that the official family is well-healed, there are always thousands of opportunities; Inside and outside, the matter has been corrected. The prince only needs to concentrate on filial piety and raise the three palaces, as for the rest, it is not the prince who should do what he says. ”

"In view of the past, it is normal for the Queen Mother to have concerns; The official family works hard for the country, and sometimes they can't take care of it, which requires the prince to be filial piety. ”

"Pick up more interesting things in Bianjing, talk to the elderly, and the food needs should be meticulous and thoughtful."

"As the saying goes, 'there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure'; and it is said that 'the older you are, the younger you are'; the queen mother has been hanging the curtain for some days, and now everything is returned to the official family, I am afraid that it is a little empty and unaccustomed, and the prince can find something that does not require too much energy to do with her."

Zhao Ji thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with anything that could make the Queen Mother satisfy her power** without affecting her father's pro-government: "Mingrun, what can I do?" ”

Su You said seriously: "Charity." ”

Zhao Ji asked, "The one that Meishan Jiangqing did?" ”

Su You said: "Zhou Li? Diguan": 'Raise the people with six interest-bearing guarantees: one is Salesian, the second is old-aged, the third is the poor, the fourth is compassionate, the fifth is the disease, and the sixth is the prosperity. ’”。

"Nowadays, in the Great Song Dynasty, there are Futian homes and nursing homes for beggars, the disabled and the lonely and widowed elderly in various places; Children have a lifting cang, a Salesian bureau; The sick have an Anji Hospital and Huimin Pharmacy; The deceased has a drain garden ......"

"The Book of Rites? There is a cloud in "Rites and Fortunes": "The old man does not only kiss his relatives, nor only his son, so that the old have the end, the strong have use, the young have growth, and the widowed, the lonely, the lonely, and the disabled are all supported." ’”

"Today's Bianjing City is prosperous and civilized, but can't these really be done better?"

"Last year, the Meishan Club held an auction, and the scholars played calligraphy, paintings, and writings, and Jiangqing merchants bid for them. The proceeds were used to send the gentry of Meishan who were not allowed to return to their hometowns in Beijing for burial. ”

"If this thing really has to be done, it should be a big project, and the reputation of loving the people should not be attributed to the gentry to the royal family."

"The royal family and the scholars rule the world together, and what they encounter is rich, and Su Youming is very impressed. However, for the common people, in fact, it is okay. Charity is a good way. ”

"A royal image like a mother and a grandmother is actually very important for the people. Lord, this matter can be done by the queen mother. ”

"In the future, it can even become customized: the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, the doctor of Enyushi; The Empress Dowager of the Great Song Dynasty, the benevolent people. With such a collection of the hearts of the scholars, dare to ask how the world does not try to repay each other? ”

"I heard that Renzong is reluctant to replace the broken mat in order to save money, but how much do the people know? Save a few mats, how many people can be saved? ”

"If the Queen Mother is willing to come forward and preside over charity, with the appeal of her old man, how many people can be saved? Isn't the royal heart of love known to the world? And how big is the significance? ”

"This matter has nothing to do with scholars and doctors, and it has nothing to do with political affairs, and the resistance from the officials should be much smaller. Moreover, the prince can manage it with all his might, not only exercising government affairs, but also fulfilling filial piety, and benefiting the country without consuming it. ”

Zhao Ji hesitated: "Things are good, but where does the money come from?" The auction is nicely said, but it is up to the royal family, and the minister may impeach the royal extortion merchants. ”

Han Wei arched his hand and smiled: "The prince hasn't heard it yet?" Since Mingrun has given you advice, there is naturally a solution. ”

Su You said with a smile: "Lord Wang, the inner workshop, the craftsmanship is not weak, if there are suitable materials, glassware, glass mirrors and the like, you can do it......"

Zhao Ji was overjoyed: "Really? The process and recipe are expensive, right? ”

Su You said: "Actually, it's not expensive, first ask the prince to ask the queen mother what she means, if you want, you can go to the Shi family." ”

"If you don't want to make money by making such small things, you can also engage in the gambling industry."

"Through horse racing, Jinmingchi racing, Keju and other activities, let everyone guess the ranking, attract Bianjing residents to close the flutter, and issue lottery tickets. It is also feasible for the proceeds to be used for charity. ”

Zhao Ji was overjoyed when he heard it: "Then I'll go to grandma tomorrow!" ”

Su You said: "If you want to engage in the lottery, it involves mathematical problems, and this little sister knows it very well. And the funds obtained from this will be very large, and the prince can personally assist the Queen Mother to manage this fund. ”

"In addition to being used for the charity mentioned above, you can also sort out and print the medicines, prescriptions, and medical skills of several pharmacies. This was originally Renzong's wish and part of charity. ”

"The materia medica for famine relief, agricultural books from all over the country, can also be collected and sorted, teaching the people to work, helping farmers and saving famine, no one can say that it is not charity, right?"

"I have already sent a letter to my uncle, transferred people from the Cheng family in Meishan, and will soon set up a printing workshop in Bianjing. If the Queen Mother is willing to lead this cause, the "Southwest Agricultural Book" compiled by us and the "Tujing Materia Medica" compiled by the elder brother will be handled by the Queen Mother and the prince. ”
