"I heard that Ye Weima can't swallow you alive," Li Sangou said.

"It would be great if he could keep this state all the time, for the general, remember the four elements, not cowardly, I am afraid that this battle will be lost, even the same is true for soldiers, the more afraid of death on the battlefield, the faster he will die. You can't be arrogant, and the arrogant soldiers will be defeated. You can't be impatient, and if you are impatient, you will definitely be defeated. You can't be angry, if you lose your cool in anger, you will definitely lose. ”

"Makes sense. Wang Zhi County, several tribes on the other side of the mountain are living in great difficulty, can they use the excuse of private businessmen to provide a little funding? ”

"In this way, I will send someone to transfer a thousand horses of silk and two thousand catties of tea leaves."

"Isn't it too little?"

"Quite a lot, once there are more, it will be conspicuous, and it is better not to subsidize, anyway, they will migrate together after the autumn, and at that time, for safety, you must be fast and travel lightly. Uncle Sangou, let me say one more thing, the wine income is very high, but can I continue to fund it? Do you really raise a private soldier? ”

Cai Tingzhen personally took out 5,000 yuan and invested it.

Moreover, he asked eight officials to "take a holiday", with more than 20 errand officers and more than 50 soldiers, and went to Chang'an with the Zhu and Li families, and then went to Weizhou and Qinzhou in the future. The main time is too tight, and it must be done quickly, and the money is quickly in hand, and then smashed on the soldier's head. Otherwise, when the autumn passes, there will be money in your hands, and it will be too late.

It turned out that Cai Ting sent more people, but Wang Ju refused, he would rather let the Zhu and Li families trouble than Cai Ting get too involved. Not for Cai Ting's sake, but for the sake of the future. After the autumn is over, maybe the spoils of war can be used as part of the compensation, and even Wang Ju really wants to sell prisoners of war. But unlike last year's three wars, there were too many enemies. It is impossible to produce a total annihilation campaign like last year, and then there will not be much to gain on the battlefield.

Therefore, some of the income of this wine workshop may be withdrawn, and Cai Ting will also ask for a part of it in the future, asking for some money and silk to create some armor weapons for redressing. Add some horses and more.

But in general, from the end of the autumn, the income of the liquor workshop will be slowly cut off from the military and Gyeongju.

This income will not be given to the Zhu and Li families, and part of it will repay the money advanced by the two families, and the two families have already put a lot of effort into themselves, and they have also sent a large number of people to assist. Enough for yourself. So you can't ask for the 20,000 yuan.

The contributions of the remaining companies are also reimbursed on a case-by-case basis. But there are still places where money is used, such as those Yeli tribes who have made great contributions, and they can't be allowed to come over with their bare hands, and a resettlement will cost a lot of money. That's not a small number of people. More than 1,000 accounts, tens of thousands of people. Even the cost of this placement is equally staggering.

Of course, private business also has to stop.

However, Wang Ju will not stay in Huachi County for too long, there will be a battle after the autumn, and there will be many things in the follow-up, it will be arranged, and when New Year's Day comes, Zhao Shu will soon have tea with King Yama. I believe that Zhao Ji will not forget himself at that time.

Most of the arrangement. I will go to a certain pavilion to gild it, but this time will not be too long, and there will be a lot of side events in the future. But who will fight? I will let it out again. As for where to put it out. I really can't figure it out, from Fuzhou to Qinzhou, how many states and counties are there on this long border? It is impossible for the county, and it is impossible for the four states of Qingyan, Weiqin, and even a big state like Jingyuan to be impossible, and the qualifications are shallow. I'm younger. Then it could be a small state or a small army of Zhizhou Zhijun, such as Yuanzhou. Such as the security army, such as the Deshun army. It could also be a state-wide sentence.

Just get to the northwest. There will be war, and money will have to be used.

So the money had to stay.

Some Wang Ju didn't say it, and some Wang Ju said it.

"Thank you so much to Wang Zhixian, but I don't know where to place?"

"Uncle Sangou, are you looking at the map?" Wang Juyi, 13. (4) Songdoule Lai Mu Zhan Disease

"That's not right."

"It's not proper, if the Xinjiang ballast fort is still in the hands of the enemy, the Yeli clan defected to our Great Song Dynasty, and inserted Li Liangzuo at the critical time, Li Liangzuo will inevitably retaliate, and last year, the fate of the Tongjia Fort on the west side of the Deshun army will befall the Yeli tribe. But what if this Xinjiang ballast fort is in the hands of our Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Then it doesn't matter," Li Sangou said happily.

If that's the case, from Rouyuan Village to Xinjiang Ballast Fort, and then to Dashun City and Liyuan Fort, just form an oval defense line, strangling the enemy's attack, or there are small groups of enemies lurking, but the danger will not be big. The Wild Tribes themselves can defeat them, and of course, they will have to send people to patrol them. However, because of last year's migration, a large blank space was created on the front line, not to mention 1,000 or a few hundred tents, even 2,000 and several hundred tents have been settled. Coupled with Wang Ju's funding, not only did he have no worries about food and clothing, but he could also build some simple forts for defense. At least the Yeli who escaped escaped from the sea of suffering.

"But this news can't be told to them yet, at least until the time of the Western Xia soldiers, otherwise there is a danger of leakage."

…………

"Concubine, I'll take you out for a spin."

"Okay." Concubine Li said happily. Wang Ju's feelings are a little messy, Zhao Niannu is obviously older than him, he always thought that Zhao Niannu was a little girl, but Zhao Niannu regarded him half as that kind of **lover and half as a younger brother. Concubine Li is obviously her fiancée, and Wang Ju may not have much fiancée feeling, but most of them regard Concubine Li as her sister.

Concubine Li rode on a horse and hugged him.

It's difficult at the beginning, it's not difficult at the beginning, and the folk customs in the northwest are already very open, and Concubine Li is now accustomed to it.

Feeling the softness of the girl's body behind him, Wang Ju said: "Concubine, eat more, it's too thin." ”

"Thin is beautiful." Li Fei'er said.

The Tang Dynasty was beautiful with fat, but the Song Dynasty was slender and beautiful, and people were thinner than yellow flowers to be beautiful, and even many people liked young and young women. This flavor is too heavy again.

Wang Ju said: "That's other people's opinion, just have a little slim, it's not good to be too thin." ”

The two of them rode on their horses and talked as they hurried to the workshop.

The officials and craftsmen sent by the imperial court have returned to Beijing, and they have not only left behind a hundred stone cannons, but also taken away advanced technology. Of course, it depends on how the imperial court uses it, and it is not up to them to decide.

This workshop was handed over to Wang Ju, but the owner was very strange. Whether it belongs to Gyeongju or Wang Ju, even Wang Ju himself is not clear.

It doesn't matter if the actual owner is, anyway, the armored weapons produced will be handed over to the officers and soldiers together. It's just handed over to the officers and soldiers of Huachi County.

Wang Ju looked at it carefully. After watching it for a while, Zhang Ji actually came.

"Zi'an, it just so happens that Gong Cai asked me to come to the workshop to take a look at the armor."

"Brother hostage, please take a look."

It mainly produces knives, spearheads, arrowheads, bows, spearheads, iron stalks, and armor.

There were many types of weapons in the Song Dynasty, such as guns, knives and clubs. Iron (a kind of iron grasp thrown against cavalry), hammer whip, sword hook, spear mace, fork grab, boring lance, bow, crossbow, shield, etc.

Wang Ju chose the most common weapons, but that spearhead was not the spearhead of a spear. And they were ready to make short spears set on short spears, and with shields and iron stalks, and use infantry phalanxes against cavalry.

The knife is also different from the common Song knife, the Song knife is more narrow and long, the narrow and long has the advantage of being long and narrow, and it will save effort to split it, and the heavy has the benefit of being heavy, although it is laborious to chop it. But the momentum is strong and the lethality is stronger. In fact, the Song Dynasty also had heavy swords, and this should be chosen according to the preferences of the soldiers. Another point. The standard knives of the Song Dynasty are mostly straight.

Therefore, according to his own ideas, Wang Ju listened to the opinions of the generals and made some changes to the knife, and the long and narrow knives were gone, but changed to medium and long, and short and thick. The former is a combat knife used by the infantry, and the latter is a combat knife used by the cavalry. And the straight type is also gone. Instead, it was changed to an arc. The main thing is to take the suicidal force, and at the same time, the contact surface of the curved knife is smaller than that of the straight knife. According to the principle of pressure, the lethality will also increase.

This change is quite similar to the later Mongolian sword.

The second thing that has been changed is the armor, which is still the same as before, but the armor has become very thin.

Wang Ju took a knife and tried it with the original Song knife, but the original Song knife broke out again.

"A good knife, but it's like a peach creek sword?"

Wang Ju shook his head: "Brother Qianfu, it's better to first forge the Taoxi Sword more times, and secondly, the Taoxi Sword as a whole is good steel, but in order to save costs and manpower, improve the degree, the number of forging is less, and like other Song knives, only the edge of the knife is inlaid with steel, and the rest is pig iron." However, it is more lethal than the original Song knife, and this one has also been studied after trial and error. Besides, the knife can steal some machines and take some tricks, but the armor cannot. ”

Wang Ju took out another piece of armor and said: "This is a new type of armor, weighing twenty-five catties (nearly thirty catties), but the defense has not been weakened." ”

"How much does it cost?" Zhang Qi also immediately heard its meaning.

"More than thirty times."

"Very good, very good."

"Brother Qianfu, don't be optimistic, this is the cost of manufacturing in the current workshop, and it will be made by official workshops such as the workshop, there will be corruption and a lot of waste, but there is only one advantage, that is, there is less freight cost. But if the court wants to create exactly the same armor, it must be over forty times, otherwise the armor will be inferior armor. ”

However, from which point of view, although it is a little more expensive, it can be lighter by more than 20 catties, then the soldier will move faster, and he can also wield stronger combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

How the imperial court chooses, first, look at the comparison of the future war, and second, see if the imperial court has anyone who understands. This is not what Wang Ju said, nor is it what Zhang Qi said.

"No wonder Cai Gong also wants to change some of the soldiers."

"How can that be?"

This is another problem that Wang Ju did not think of when he was studying in Yanzhou before, that is, inefficiency.

Especially armor.

Why is the armor so expensive, not only the material, is good, from iron into armor, it needs to be tempered, a pair of armor weighing more than 50 catties often needs more than 200 catties of iron, but this cost is not amazing, good wrought iron is only more than 30 yuan a catty, transported to Huachi County plus a pound of freight is only 50 yuan. and other materials, the overall material value will not exceed ten dollars.

Why did the final cost become forty yuan?

The efficiency is too slow, often a skilled craftsman to create a pair of armor at least one or two months, and it takes three or four months to get started, and the Song Dynasty has already produced the original assembly line production method, otherwise it will take longer.

For such a long time, it took a lot of money to spend a lot of money on labor costs alone, coupled with corruption, unnecessary waste, and other things, so it became the cost of a set of armor for forty yuan.

There is no corruption on Wang Ju's side, and there is no big waste, but two-thirds of the cost is piled up on manpower.

After hearing the story of the official craftsmen last winter, Wang Ju immediately recruited a large number of apprentices, so after a few craftsmen left in the capital, there were still more than 100 people in the workshop. Not only that, Wang Ju sent a battalion of officers and soldiers to be stationed in turns, instead of a capital, not for defense, but for manpower, so that the officers and soldiers could fight miscellaneous and improve efficiency.

Even if there are enough materials and enough money now, everyone will pounce on the armor, and they can only make a maximum of two or three hundred sets of armor per month. Don't mention the change of clothes, even the vest of the Fan Rider, it may not be satisfied after the autumn, and other weapons are not built?

"It's not difficult, Cai Gong plans to transfer a large number of craftsmen from the Gyeongju Shogunate."

"How many craftsmen can be transferred to the Gyeongju Shokuin? Unless Cai Gong can also transfer a large number of craftsmen from other regions, at least more than a hundred, I will not agree. ”

"It's probably not too difficult, I'll go back and talk about it."

"Also, let Cai Gong notify the imperial court again, and ask the imperial court to allocate a large amount of iron from Jingzhao Mansion." Wang Judao. Although the imperial court is in financial difficulties, this fire will immediately burn to the eyebrows, and the imperial court really does not support it at all?

"This is probably not difficult, by the way, why when I discussed with Cai Gong, I said a sentence, whether I can take the Xinjiang ballast fort, but Cai Gong said that the country's financial difficulties, it is enough to repel the enemy army, and it can't be too much, this fort can't be taken."

"Cai Gong actually said that?" Wang Ju was stunned. He knows about the country's financial difficulties, but what does it have to do with taking the ballast bunker? If you can't take the ballast fort, so many Yeli tribes will immediately come over, and the king will be swollen. (To be continued)
