"Your Highness is well, and I always miss my uncle. Fortunately, Fuzhou Daily and Pravda were able to learn about the movements of adults, and they were very relieved. It's also good to be in the lower and the wasp, thanks to His Royal Highness's love, he has repeatedly made suggestions to the Queen Mother and the official family, and Li Baofeng has mentioned Weiqiao Town and the Daimyo's Mansion to smelt and mint money. Gao Cuifeng pointed to the letter on the table, indicating that the details were written in it.

“…… This is a good thing, it is a good thing for the country and the people, of course it should go. Lao Gao, don't worry too much, no matter what contradictions there are between the king, the chapter or the king, they are all great Song courtiers in their bones. Mineral smelting is the skeleton of the country, and without enough good steel, strong bows and crossbows cannot be made, and front-line soldiers cannot be allowed to use broadswords and spears against enemy cavalry. It is true that Weiqiao Town and the Daimyo Mansion were founded by this king, but they are inseparable from the efforts of Lao Gao from childhood to adulthood, and seeing them destroyed in one fell swoop will not benefit you and me or even His Royal Highness King Qi. ”

Hong Tao picked up the letter, it was not thin, more than ten pages, and the font was written by Zhao Maid, which had both the free and easy writing of the brush and the sharpness of the hard pen words. It is said that the child's first act when he returned to the palace was to replace the brush with a hard pen stained in ink.

The writing style is also similar to Wang Xiong's Japanese travelogue, except for the first sentence and the last few sentences, which are lyrical, the rest of the text is narrative, mainly talking about things and listing data. This is also the characteristic of the education of the children's regiment, and whoever dares to moan crookedly in the letter will be punished with the most vicious punishment.

What Zhao wants to say is probably two things, two things that are related to each other.

First, Wang Anshi was reprimanded by Zhang Dan, but he was still in front of the emperor, and his refutation was very weak and very passive.

The problem lies in the workshops in Weiqiao Town and the Daimyo's Mansion, where the output and quality have plummeted since they were ransomed by the imperial court. It is said that one step a year is up, they are the next step in three months, and the weasel is not as good as a day under the mouse.

By last spring, Volkswagen's pony cars had actually been discontinued because of the lack of suspension. Without a suitable spring-loaded steel carriage, it is impossible to carry goods and people, and the five-mile road can turn the lunch upside down, and the well-packed goods have to be reversed.

For this reason, the Privy Council and many border generals have already made direct attacks on the court, and they have spent money to purchase hundreds of carriages, hoping to strengthen the logistics and transportation capacity. As a result, after getting it, I found that the cost of repairing the car is faster than buying a car.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu did not endure it, Volkswagen Automobile Dealership is under the management of the Ministry of Industry, but the spring steel plate is not produced by Volkswagen Automobile Company, it is produced in Weiqiao Town and Daimyofu Workshop, and is under the control of the Ministry of War.

The secretary of the military department was even more helpless, and the spearhead pointed directly at the household department. At the beginning, it was repeatedly emphasized that the craftsmen should be retained, but the household department refused to pay the craftsmen too high wages, and the craftsmen ran out in less than half a year.

There are a bunch of two knives left, and ordinary iron-making and steelmaking are no problem, but spring steel is not something that anyone can make, and not everyone knows how to make it. Now not to mention supplying Volkswagen car dealers, even the steel plate crossbow is about to be discontinued, what can you do if you can't refine spring steel?

When the head of the household department heard it, what was it? Blame me, why! If the ministry does not appoint the corresponding positions, the household department naturally cannot issue money casually. The state's money is not the household's own, and there must be corresponding rules for all discrepancies and exits.

The official secretary is called Fan Chunren, the son of Fan Zhongyan, and when he heard that the dirty water was all on his head, he immediately became anxious. Originally, he was the faction in the old party that looked down on Wang Anshi the most, and he was definitely unwilling to help Wang Anshi carry the black pot.

At the same time, he pushed 625, saying that it was not that the officials did not want the master of the workshop to be promoted, but that Wang Anshi did not approve it. People are not just talking, holding Wang Anshi's instructions on these issues.

This matter was caught by Zhang Dian and reported directly to the emperor. If it is not a matter of national defense, it must not be sloppy, Wang An must come forward to explain how the two industrial bases at the good end were made like this in just over a year.

Can Wang Anshi explain? I really can't explain it, he doesn't understand smelting and casting and mechanical technology. This thing is not like farming, there are traces to follow, what is the problem, he is still in a lawsuit.

Can the emperor blame Wang Anshi for this, and he can't, and even has to appease Zhang Dan, a group of courtiers who took the opportunity to attack political opponents. Isn't it nonsense to promote the masters of each workshop to become officials. Not to mention that Wang Anshi disagrees, even if the two prime ministers approve it, he, the emperor, has to reject it.

Since ancient times, it has been the privilege of scholars to be an official, and they have to study hard for many years, and they have to pass the imperial examination. Who has heard that if you play iron well, you can enter the official career, even if it is not suitable for a small official, this is too child's play.

But the problem is that if you don't give an official position, you don't have a legal salary level, and if the salary is not high enough, no one wants to stay. If you want to blame, you have to blame the horse Wang Xu, who let him give such a high salary at the beginning, this is not to dig a pit for the person who took over later.

can't give an official position, can't give such a high salary, and have to let the workshops in Weiqiao Town and the Daimyo's Mansion resume production, this question can be regarded as worrying Wang Anshi and the emperor.

In the past year, there have been four chiefs, and the fifth one simply did not accept the appointment, preferring to go home and stay than take office. Everyone understands in their hearts that if they go, they will also be scolded, and they will be tired and tired for many months, and they will not be able to get a good job at all, and they will have to become a backstabber.

At this time, Su Shi began to have bad ideas again, and he even said that he would let the imperial court come forward to invite Wang Shu back, and then take charge of the management of the two workshop areas. As soon as these words came out, even the emperor, a room of prime ministers, deputy prime ministers, and privy envoys looked at him like fools.

I guess I am asking in my heart: You are Wang Xu's daughter's teacher, not Wang Xu's teacher, you said that if you let the family come back, people will come back? If Wang Shu is such a good person, do you still have to wait for you to come up with this broken idea?

Su Shi still didn't give up, and he proposed to follow Emperor Shenzong's practice to give Wang Xu some privileges and let him be directly responsible to the emperor. As long as this is done, King Liang will not care about other subsections and will definitely come back.

Bah! The suggestion just now was met with a lot of eyes, and this suggestion directly attracted a categorical opposition, and even the emperor couldn't sit still, and almost didn't spit directly on Su Shi's face.

What do you think, I tried all my strength at the beginning, and I didn't want to be cheeky, and I almost didn't take the pants as a substitute before I took back Wang Xu's rights. Now I will return it again, and I will spare the title of the king side by side, so what are I, the emperor, tossing around here, how worry-free it is.

Su Shi was almost removed from his post for this matter, and even Zhang Dian couldn't help speak, mainly because the idea was too rancid, and it directly stabbed the emperor and Wang Anshi in the soft underbelly, so it's strange if he wasn't in a hurry.

Fortunately, someone then put forward a suggestion that everyone could accept, and then the attention was shifted to the king of Qi and Gao Cuifeng.

The one who came up with the idea was Shangshu Zuo Cheng Su Song, who said that Wang Shu did not stay in Weiqiao Town and the Daimyo's Mansion for many years, and there was another person in charge of managing these two places, his name was Gao Cuifeng.

Nai Ren was a member of the clan of the late Prime Minister Sima Guang, and now he has become a subordinate of the King of Qi. If he can be reinstated, it must have some effect, at least not worse.

As for the relationship between Gao Cuifeng and Wang Xu, it doesn't seem to have much to do with it. followed Wang Xu's official body and the royal gift to be born as a jinshi, which is all the harvest of Gao Cuifeng's saddle and horse, and the ten years of the industry. Of course, the money is not less.

But this is not important, the important thing is that as soon as Wang Shu was about to lose power, Gao Cuifeng saw the wind and bowed to the rudder under the King of Qi. This shows that this person has a lot of political vision and knows how to advance and retreat, as long as the court is willing to reuse, there should still be some use value.

Compared with Gao Cuifeng, Miao Kui, another subordinate who has followed Wang Xu's junior for ten years, is very ignorant. The imperial court originally wanted to retain some veterans and low-ranking officers of the new army, and after they were dispersed, they would be mixed into the forbidden army as instructors, so as to improve the combat capability of the forbidden army.

As a result, Miao Kui was not only grateful, but also wrote many times to denounce this practice as useless, and suggested that the remaining 2,000-odd new troops should be regrouped and organized separately. The forbidden army can be assigned to follow the new training in batches, so as to really improve the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army.
