201 Happy New Year

After this group of people gradually gets used to this logic, Hong Tao will transfer them to more workshops to take up important positions, so that these people will become flu viruses, and infect everyone around them with their own habits and logic. Whether it can succeed or not, Hong Tao is not sure.

But the ancients didn't pass by, and they didn't take the good as small. It doesn't take much effort to do this, and there is a possibility of success, so why not try it.

And Hong Tao feels that the group of craftsmen is the most suitable to use their own thinking to transform, because their original values are close to their own, and they are the most capable group among the ancients. Attributes such as seniority, seniority, and faction can only be ranked after ability in the artisan group.

They are not as good at evaluating the level of ability as the literati, who has the ability and who is almost not at all, you can know when you try it, there are not so many false things. This makes their new technology very attractive to them, and at the same time, it has a place to use.

Winter came soon, and the three years of Yuanfeng gradually came to an end driven by the cold north wind. Seeing that the first day was approaching, there was a heavy snowfall in Kaifeng City, and the streets, houses, halls, temples, trees, and rivers ...... Everything is white, as if the New Year is not just a unit of time, but also physically erases everything in heaven and earth.

In the Imperial Palace, in the Chongzheng Palace, Emperor Shenzong was sitting behind the bookcase with his forehead in a daze. With the charcoal furnace specially cast by Wu Jinxing, even if it was windy and snowy outside, the temperature in the hall was not low at all.

Since the beginning of winter, this large iron stove with one person high and two people carrying the thickness of two arms has become the emperor's favorite, and in addition to making people feel comfortable, it can also be used to bake some sour stuffing on it.

When the dough is hard and hard, it will taste crispy and fragrant, which is also taught by his brother-in-law who is not worry-free. However, my brother-in-law also said that whether the charcoal stove burns honeycomb charcoal or coke, it should not be put in the dormitory for heating, because it will kill people in their sleep, even if you are the son of heaven, you still can't avoid it.

Whenever he saw the stove and felt its warmth, the emperor would think of his brother-in-law, who was thousands of miles away. To be honest, if he wasn't the emperor, it would be a blessing to have such a brother-in-law who was full of strange ideas and wasn't very willing to think about people.

But the identity of the emperor is destined to have no best friends around him in this life, even if he is as indisputable as his brother-in-law, he has to be forced to join the game of imperial power. Every time I think of this, it makes the emperor feel a deep sense of self-blame.

But today is an exception, the emperor is not thinking of his brother-in-law, and he does not blame himself. He has not been in good health lately, and often feels back and leg pain. The imperial physician said that it was caused by a deficiency of kidney water, and advised the emperor not to be overworked, and sexual affairs should also be controlled.

Emperor Shenzong has only fourteen official concubines, and there are still twelve left, Jieyu Qian and Xianfei Yang are no longer alive, and they have not left a son and a half daughter.

The remaining twelve concubines gave birth to ten sons to Emperor Shenzong, but only four survived. That's right, with a mortality rate of 60 percent, only the eldest Cheng Wang Zhao Yan, the second Hui Wang Zhao Wei, the sixth Zhao Xu, and the ninth Zhao Tong are still alive temporarily.

And Zhao Xu and Zhao Tong are both underage, no one knows if they can survive adulthood, after all, the other six princes all died of illness when they were teenagers. God is still quite fair at this point, even if you are a prince, you will not have more than half your life in the face of illness.

It was in view of this situation that Emperor Shenzong had to continue to work overtime and work hard at night after a tiring day in the court. To a large extent, the number of princes determines whether the country is stable, whether the government and the opposition can be safe, and whether the imperial power will be sidelined.

If the emperor does not work hard in this regard, then the empress dowager and ministers will take turns to persuade the emperor not to take the ancestral inheritance and the well-being of the people in the world as a child's play.

Any normal man will be irritable if he is forced to do this all day long, and Emperor Shenzong is really tired these days, just cutting vacant positions and vacancies is a bit anxious, where is there still the heart to create a villain.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Wang Xuan sent someone to send a gift to Your Majesty, and I also wish Your Majesty a Happy New Year......" At this moment, Wang Anshi's loud voice came from behind the screen.

When the sound arrived, there were two young eunuchs behind him, struggling to carry a long wooden box that was not much smaller than a coffin, and his steps were already a little staggering. The main reason is that Wang Anshi is walking too fast, and they can't keep up with the rhythm.

"Bold Wang Xu, dare to tease Yu Zhen like this, aren't you afraid of people falling to the ground! …… Oops, Bang Dang...... "This emperor is really a wretch, he talks a lot of nonsense when he is an official, and he can't get angry with them casually."

After hearing Wang Xu's name, the emperor glared and slapped the table as if he had seen the enemy who killed his father, pointing to the long box to pick it up, not saying that the box sent by others was like a coffin, and there was a crime of bullying the king.

This roar didn't matter, startling the two eunuchs who were carrying the box. was about to be unable to lift it, and as soon as his hand slipped, he simply fell at the door of the main hall, making the two of them turn pale with fright.

"Anger and anger, Your Majesty is angry...... Why don't you go down quickly, are you waiting for Your Majesty to heal your wounds! ”

Wang Anshi and Emperor Shenzong were completely different emotions, his beard was still stained with snowflakes, and the boots on his feet were also soaked with melting snow, but they didn't care about it at all. Even these two little eunuchs wanted to save them, so they took matters into their own hands and blasted them away without waiting for the emperor to scold.

"What can he give, it's not a sword or a sword...... I asked him to go to Huangzhou to stop the Xia people from building the city, not to let him change his career to become a blacksmith......"

Emperor Hewang Anshi Shenzong really didn't dare to get angry casually, so he had to be angry with his brother-in-law, pointing to the box on the ground and counting it, as if Wang Shu was lying inside and listening.

"Jiefu, Jiefu, go slowly, wait for the old man...... Your Majesty atoned for his sins, Wang Xiang was really old and strong, the wind and snow outside had not stopped, but he was walking like flying, and he couldn't ...... the ministers" Before the emperor was done, someone shouted outside the door, and then Sima Guang rushed in with a head of snowflakes, still panting.

"Junshi, don't breathe anymore, tell Your Majesty quickly, otherwise the fate of the horse will be over." Although it was just a joke, Wang Anshi was still quite proud.

In the past six months, he has listened to the advice of the colt and has insisted on fighting the flying eagle, and the effect is quite obvious. It is impossible to be a few years younger, but the body has not strengthened who practices who understands in their hearts.

Not only did he not breathe after taking a quick road, but he also walked a lot bigger than before. Sima Guang is proof that he can no longer keep up with his pace, even if he trots, he is still lagging behind.

This is a very good sign, which shows that the momentum of the old party has declined, and I only need to work hard and persevere, and the new policy that will leave a name in history may be successful.

When you are in a good mood, you will be generous, and you can even let the emperor report good news. made Sima Guang stare at him, and he was not angry. Since you don't rush to report the good news and go so fast, isn't it tortured by heart!

"Don't laugh with me anymore, and don't intercede with Wang Shu again, I will punish him for disrespect this time!" People are this thing, they always persuade more and more hard, and seeing that the two prime ministers seem to be saying good things for Wang Xu, which makes the emperor even more unhappy.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Wang Xuan sent someone to send a gift to Your Majesty, and I also wish Your Majesty a Happy New Year......"

Sima Guang ignored the emperor who was spreading evil spirits, took out a roll of paper from his arms, said the same nonsense as Wang Anshi, and personally sent it to the emperor's bookcase.

“…… Nissan steel jacks! A light steel armor that cannot be worn by a crossbow within a hundred steps...... What is lightweight steel armor? ”

The emperor picked up the scroll of paper and slowly unfolded it, and it was a list of gifts, indicating how many horses, how many foals, and how many camels, all of which were exchanged for flower ointment and the Tibetan people.

At the same time, it is also noted that the geldings were left to be used by the pro-official forbidden army, and some camels continued to expand the caravan. Another stinging horse and more than a dozen horses have been transported to Huangzhou to find suitable pastures for domestication, in the hope of breeding Yunyun.

These things have already been reported by secret music, and the emperor is not short of those horses and camels as New Year's gifts, even a stabbing horse does not help the fact that the Great Song Dynasty lacks a source of war horses.
