"I can agree to this," Zhao said.

Not only the more than 90 battalions of the Baojie Army, but also the armor and armor of the other battalions must also be replaced and eliminated, which is nothing more than a succession.

And there are precedents, such as the Kapok Division, which is to use the southern taxes and income to pay in advance, which is not difficult, so Zhao Ji agreed without hesitation.

Wang Jucheng struck the iron hot, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also has a word, the kapok division is clothing and cotton, and it is the root of the cold of the northern people in the future. ”

Zhao Ji's forehead.

For the people of the Central Plains, clothes are not only a tool for covering shame, but also a tool for keeping out the cold. If there are no clothes, when the autumn wind blows, for example, right now, I don't know how many people will freeze to death.

Wang Ju said: "It is also the most important weapon for the future management of the north. ”

With this sentence, Zhao Ji excitedly grabbed Wang Ju's hand. This is the advantage of age, although age restricts Wang Ju from not being able to climb to a high position for a short time, but because of this age, Zhao Ji does not need to be constrained by etiquette and can do some intimate actions.

Of course, Wang Ju is very careful, Zhao Ji is the emperor after all, and he is not the emperor who only ascended the throne at the beginning, he is growing step by step, such as letting Wang Anshi leave the phase at the end, is it really as the brick family said?

No one is right!

But this truth is also something that Wang Ju has only faintly thought of recently.

What is an emperor, that is a widow, a lonely person! As an emperor, you can have close ministers, but you must not have friends, including yourself, although Zhao Ji may still regard him as a close friend at the moment.

But it doesn't matter if Wang Ju says it or not, and Zhao Ju doesn't need to be motivated by Wang Ju for being "self-motivated". And the north is too far away...... However, if you really take the north, with cotton, the nature will be different, and the Han people can officially "break into the eastern part of the country", and one or two million Han people will be stationed in the northeast. Well, there is no such thing as a Jurchen, even if there is. Like the Xianbei people after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, they eventually merged into one.

Wang Ju said again: "Therefore, this kapok. The minister thought of it, and immediately handed it over to the inner library, which was operated by Jiefu Gong, and the minister also did not object, whether it was the inner library or the three divisions, in the minister's heart, they were all the imperial court. However, sucrose is different. It is a consumable, a pleasure, and the people have it, and they can do without it. ”

Zhao Ji is headed again.

In fact, this is a fool, but in the past few decades it does belong to the enjoyment of the product, once popular, just like tea, now who dares to say that it is the enjoyment of the product?

Wang Ju said this, mainly because he was afraid that the three divisions would intervene, which would ruin the development of sucrose. Then he continued: "Therefore, it cannot be interfered by the Third Division, although it is temporarily for the expansion of Zheng Baiqu's armor, but the future ministers can use its income. To do a big thing, the minister also mentioned it to Zhang Qi, it can reduce the cost of the battle of Vaxia by half. ”

"Tell me." Zhao Ji's eyes flashed with excitement again.

"The real shortcomings of Western Xia are in the economy, so they can attack their shortcomings, but then the ministers have to have some capital in their hands, of course, the share of the inner treasury, after Zheng Baiqu's tens of thousands of Baojie are finished, it will still be owned by the inner treasury. The minister uses the rest of his own income. ”

"Let's talk about the specifics."

"The specific minister hasn't figured it out yet, so don't worry. Besides, Vaxia is still far away, and His Majesty is also better Moti. Otherwise, the opposition from the court will be louder than that of the law change in the future. ”

"I also agreed to this one," Zhao Ji said, besides, the money originally belonged to Wang Ju's own, saying that officials are not allowed to do business, can it be forbidden? But it's not easy to say, if Wang Anshi intervenes, forcing the inner library to hand over the technology, and then put it to promote, okay, one, two, three, sucrose has become the price of cabbage. And Wang Ju faintly felt that Wang Anshi would definitely intervene in the future, so the sugar had not officially come out, so he turned his attention to the city.

However, with Zhao Ji's promise, Wang Anshi will not be able to attack Sucrose for the time being in the past two or three years.

After two or three years, even if Wang Anshi started, at that time, Wang Juzao passed the hands of several companies such as Guò Zhu Li and transferred the sales to foreign countries.

In a few years, the price of cabbage will be the price of cabbage.

The two of them chatted a little more.

Zhang Ruoshui brought Li Hong with him.

Wang Ju looked at Li Hong and asked, "Are you from Shaanxi?" ”

"It's a native of Shaanxi."

"How can you be considered a Shaanxi person?"

"Ming Gong, the grass people are Suizhou people, and now Suizhou belongs to the Great Song Dynasty, and the grass people should be Shaanxi passers-by."

But it is not easy to say that in the spring, under the influence of the appeasement faction, the imperial court agreed to exchange Suizhou for the territory occupied by the Western Xia in the Tumen area, of course, this did not succeed in the end.

"How do you know the technique of the crossbow?"

"Qi Yu Ming Gong, the grass people used to be craftsmen in Youzhou, and later Suizhou belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, the grass people escaped from Youzhou, and then the court ransomed my brother from the mine, so the grass people thanked the court and came to Beijing to offer the crossbow technology."

"That's your name?"

"Caomin used to be called Li Ding, but there is another relative in Youzhou, Caomin used to be a craftsman in Youzhou, and he was worried about Xixia's revenge, so he changed his name."

The mystery is solved.

Zhao Ji said on the side: "Okay, you will be called Li Hong in the future." ”

"Thank you," Li Ding said excitedly, which was equivalent to the emperor's own name.

There were some deviations here, Li Ding's brother participated in the war, was captured alive and sent to the mine as a slave, and later Wei Mingshan defected to the Song Dynasty, and the imperial court successively paid money, or used some other means, to find out the prisoners of war in Suizhou from various mines, and released them one after another, including Li Ding's brother. Then Li Dingcai made up his mind and escaped from Youzhou, hoping to seek a small fortune with the crossbow technology.

That is, if there was no letter, maybe Wang Ju would not have been able to see the divine arm crossbow, and now that he sees it, it is more than half a year later than in history.

However, after he sacrificed the crossbow technique, Zhang Ruoshui swallowed his credit and only gave him a hundred taels of silver, but he brought his family with him, so he had to find a life outside the city. Fortunately, he didn't leave the capital, otherwise Zhang Ruoshui wouldn't have found him.

"Zhang Duzhi, arrange him to the Bow and Arrow Academy and treat him as a writer."

A writer is not the writer who writes the article, but the rank of a craftsman. In the Song Dynasty, there were three forms of official craftsmen, one was the unpaid labor of criminals, and a few also had slaves and maids as female laborers. For example, the daughters of Song Ji's family are used as slaves and maids, doing unpaid labor. The high-level ones are official prostitutes, and only those who have a good birth and outstanding talents can enjoy it. The second is the military craftsman. It is to use the box soldiers to make craftsmen.

The third is the folk craftsman, employing ordinary people as official craftsmen. It is divided into long-term official craftsmen and temporary official craftsmen, and long-term official craftsmen are the real official craftsmen, but they are divided into writers, heads, or all writers, all heads, which are relatively senior officials and craftsmen, or the leaders of management.

In addition, there is a nail head. It is equivalent to a small head, and is mostly seen in salt farms.

The next is the complete craftsman, but it is divided into nine classes, each with a different income, and the last is learning, not learning, that is, apprenticeship.

The writer is the most senior craftsman, or the senior management leader, and his income is quite good, no less than the income of a county lieutenant.

"Thank you." Li Ding said tremblingly.

Being an ordinary craftsman in the Song Dynasty was not as good as the treatment of a craftsman in the Western Xia, but being a writer was at least equivalent to the treatment of a second-rate online writer in later generations.

The reward is there. Wang Ju then said, "Come and see." ”

The Divine Arm Bow came from the hands of these three people.

Therefore, Wang Ju plans to transform it.

In fact, although this kind of divine arm bow is sharp, it is too difficult to promote, how many people in the army can pull it away?

Therefore, in the later Song Dynasty, the Shenjian bow was transformed on a large scale, one is stronger, such as the enemy bow, which can shoot 360 steps, and each shot of the iron horse should fall down in response to the string, that is, as long as it shoots to the enemy or with the enemy's mount. Even if the enemy wears heavy armor, he can immediately take down this enemy horseman. This was transformed in the hands of Han Shizhong.

Second, it is lighter and faster. Such as the horse yellow bow, in fact, it appeared earlier in history. The Divine Arm Bow has too high requirements for arm strength, so Wang Ju pulled the Divine Arm Bow to the full, Zhao Ji was speechless, but with the current arm strength requirements, even Wang Ju could not fire three arrows in a row.

Therefore, the requirements for range and firing power were gradually reduced, and the Ma Huang bow appeared, and the divine arm force came out to reach more than two stones, and then the ephedra bow gradually reduced to less than two stones, and finally in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was reduced to one stone and two stones, which was only equivalent to the ordinary strong compound bow arm force. Therefore, the enemy's bow can send one arrow, and the horse yellow bow can send three arrows. However, the technical requirements are higher, so Yang Cunzhong deliberately mentioned four words in the song: precision system.

Three fast and light, and so is strength, but this time it seems that the transformation has not succeeded, on the contrary, it has transformed a more powerful monster, the Divine Power Bow, and the ordinary Divine Arm Bow can send three arrows, but it can only send one arrow. But this arrow is disgusting, it is a marble-bolt, which is a miniature bed crossbow in a miniature version of the single-operated version.

Wang Ju was not very interested in the Divine Strength Bow and the Enemy Bow.

Maybe Yuanmeng is very strong, this concept has a profound impact on future generations, the reason why Yuanmeng is strong, one is to cooperate, the other is cavalry, and the third is fast, flexible and mobile.

Therefore, Wang Ju attaches great importance to speed.

For example, his transformation of the new armor is still this concept.

The reason why the Divine Arm Bow is different from other bows and crossbows is that it has three types, one is that the production is more complex and precise, and the cost is high. The second is the effect of this complex bow and crossbow style, on which there are many components that ordinary crossbows do not have, the reason for this is that one is to pull the rod on the winding, and the other is to increase its sturdiness. Finally, there's its weird arrows.

Wang Ju transformed this arrow.

There are many reasons why the javelin is not as far as the bow and arrow, the main one is that the bow and arrow are more slender, and the length of the bow and arrow is reduced, but the resistance is greater, so the arrow becomes thinner, but then the arrow is more likely to fly, so the iron shaft is used instead of the wooden shaft as before, which is a great improvement.

But this arrow can also become thinner, it can also be faster, Wang Ju does not seek range, then he can rely on this principle, the entire divine arm bow is greatly transformed, without reducing the range, the pulling force decreases, and the rate of fire increases.

However, it is not easy, first of all, the arrow itself, the weight can not be reduced, that is, all the iron arrow shaft is used, and the weight must also be strictly considered. And the shape of the arrowhead and shaft should also be changed. With this transformation, the entire bow and other components of the bow itself will also be changed.

But Wang Ju explained the reason in superficial words, with the direction of transformation, it will be easier to transform.

He talked for most of the day, Zhao Ji understood, and said, "Wang Qing, reduce your arm strength?" ”

"Your Majesty, if it is well transformed, not only will the arm strength requirements be reduced, but the rate of fire will be increased, and the power will not drop much."

After Wang Ju finished speaking, he also drew an arrow. This arrow is twice as long as a normal arrow, thinner in front, and then follows the arc. It wasn't put away until the back. This is designed for the balance of the center of gravity, and the small arrow is then thinner. The center of gravity can only be moved back, and the front is thinner, which is designed to cut through the air well. But what the effect is, or how far the center of gravity is moved back, must be designed in real terms, and then slowly studied.

But in any case, the Song Dynasty finally had this weapon.

This summons was over, and Wang Ju returned to the Ordinance Division safely.

But Wang Ju splashed this one. It still caused many bad consequences, but the problem was not very serious.

Sima Guang said to Wang Qi in the Hanlin Academy: "Yuyu, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, how has such a thing happened? ”

Wang Ju's splash disgusted Sima Guang, and Wang Ju said directly in front of the emperor, Sima Guang did this that day, and I will do the same. Cheng Hao splashed it, but in fact, Dacheng was just a chess piece in Sima Guang's eyes. Not really a good friend.

But in case Wang Jufa spilled himself, then what face did he have? As for the punishment, look at the emperor like this. What punishment will there be, it's a big deal to be demoted to a certain place to be a magistrate, or even if you can't get it, you can still be a magistrate. With this kid's ability to toss, he was able to make so-called political achievements with bad means, and soon came up again.

"Junshi, I have also heard about this matter, but this time Cheng Hao also made mistakes, if he is dissatisfied with the Ordinance Division, as a minister. Direct impeachment is, why go to the Ordinance Department to make a noise? ”

Wang Ju is out of line. Cheng Hao was also arrogant.

"Besides, I heard that he has a good relationship with Zhang Zai. Zhang Zai and Wang Ju live in the same house, and if they want to ask, they can also go to Zhang's house in private. ”

Even if he went to Zhang Wang's house in private, it didn't work, but as long as Cheng Hao didn't say too much, everyone could get by on the scene. Moreover, Cheng Hao's poor official seems to be higher than Wang Ju, and his official position is similar, and his qualifications are similar. Don't ask Wang Ju how short he has been an official, but where are the big things that have been done successfully. Don't talk about Wang Ju, even if you change yourself, Cheng Hao will not be happy if he sells the old with the old. Besides, Cheng Hao is not a real minister, he is only in his thirties.

"Yuyu, why are you so confused, if Your Majesty doesn't trust him, that's it, but Your Majesty trusts him very much, this son will be a disaster for the Great Song Dynasty in the future."

"Junshi, this is a matter of Yushitai, you and I don't want to interfere." Wang Qi said.

Some people once ridiculed him for being a good person in the Three Dynasties, the prime minister of the Three Dynasties, and his personality is a little soft, but he is a native of Shucheng, neither south nor north, economic righteousness and political achievements, and not particularly superhuman, only the article is slightly better, but is the article a political zhì guanjian? What if you don't do a good job?

However, you also have to do things.

You are against the Southern Party, and Wang Ju is not a southerner.

What you are opposed to is changing the law, and Wang Ju also said that changing the law is a helpless move, he can understand it, but he will not support it.

And Wang Ju is really a scourge, on the contrary, in Wang Jue's eyes, the evaluation is very fair, a particularly capable minister, and he will definitely be a super important minister of the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

So Wang Ju vaguely showed favor that year, and Wang Ju also said that he understood, Sima Guang wants to be on the throne, and he also wants to be on the throne, does it depend on Sima Guang's support? Is it possible? Do you want to be on top and no one supports you? Therefore, Wang Jue did not echo. In fact, this person is also very clever, is it really the prime minister of the three decrees, and he is caught in the battle between the old and new parties, so easy? But without Wang Ju, he couldn't see the variables, and as soon as Wang Ju came out, he saw the variables.

Of course, the situation is very muddy now, and he doesn't dare to make a judgment, and Wang Ju is indeed too small.

Wang Jue's attitude is exactly the attitude of most people.

When the real Wang Ju will splash Sima Guang, then maybe, really splash Sima Guang, the problem will be strict, this is still eating persimmons, picking soft pinch.

At least in everyone's hearts, he is about the same status as Dacheng, Dacheng bullied Wang Ju first, and Wang Ju counterattacked.

There are opponents, but not many.

In fact, the biggest consequence is that he has made his attitude clear through this incident. Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu were not very happy, and Wang Anshi was not very happy.

Therefore, Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi discussed the matter of the weapons supervisor, and Wang Anshi thought about it and agreed.

He didn't know much about the armor, but the actual Wang Anshi's military reform only happened after Cai Ting returned to the court, which was his biggest shortcoming. In addition, Wang Juka's participation in the Ordinance Department has affected the implementation of the Seedlings Law.

Therefore, Wang Ju soon received an edict from the imperial court.

Guo Shi said he didn't understand: "Husband, has Wang Ju's official position been promoted or demoted?" ”

If you talk about promotion, I am afraid that nine out of ten Wenchen are unwilling to hold this position, although Wang Ju said that during the Qingli War. Yang Kai and others were in charge of the Ordnance Division. But that's expediency. The name of the tong guò can also be seen, one is the prison, below the state. An organization that is almost the same as the county, at most it is comparable to the military. One is Division. The "ministerial body" of the state.

And it was short-lived, and as soon as the war was over, it was outlawed.

The latter in charge of the manufacture and storage of ordnance are either military generals, eunuchs, or children of relatives. This is still the case.

So it's a gentleman's errand job.

But if it is said that it is a demotion, this reorganization of the Ordnance Supervision includes the right to store the inner storehouse. is still a bad official with real power. It even says that it has far more power than the Herd Division.

However, that was the division, so the herd envoys were filled with officials from more than two provinces, including Xiao Song, Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng and other famous ministers, all of whom held this position. is also based on the word power, and there is still a difference between the two. Strictly nominally, it is not as heavy as the Kapok Division set up by Wang Anshi.

Therefore, Guo Shi was confused, and in fact, many officials were confused, is this a punishment for Wang Ju? But is it a punishment?

Bigger confusion. It is the question of its ownership, does it belong to Xifu, or does it still belong to the Third Division? It still belongs to the three divisions. So is it still a prison under the subordinate of the case? If so, that's a penalty. If not, it is not a penalty.

However, who is going to ask this question?

Who it belongs to, even Wang Anshi didn't think about it.

Zhang Zai said: "Wang Ju, your temperament is too irritable. ”

Some people say that Ercheng "plagiarized" the ideas of Zhang Zai and Zhou Dunxi, which is not right, and Zhang Zai also "plagiarized" Ercheng's thoughts. After all, this is a strict zhòng lacks a medium for communication and communication, so they have to learn from each other in rare meetings and exchanges. "Plagiarism" from each other.

Zhang Zai has a gentle personality, although he has a faint discord with Cheng Hao. I don't want that to happen either.

"Teacher, do you really think that benevolence can transform a qiē? Then Confucianism has been promoted to the present. Why is there so much injustice in this world? I don't talk about Yiren Hu people, I only talk about scholars, all of them grew up reading what the master said, and exchanged it for fame and wealth, but how many scholars have done this? ”

"You're more radical."

"Teacher, it's not that I'm radical, but practical, benevolence is of course important, and sometimes you also need some means, and the combination of grace and power is the real royal way. Guangren is benevolent, and there is no righteousness. Guang is gracious, there is no deterrence, it is not the benevolence of the master, but the benevolence of the Mo family, the pseudo-benevolence that Mencius repeatedly scolded. Teacher, think again. ”

Wang Ju has always opposed Zhang Zai's chaotang, why should he go back to Hengqu to write a book, anyway, with his own presence, his teacher will not have food and clothing difficulties......

But Zhang Zai doesn't have a headache, the headache is Zhang Zai's younger brother Zhang Jian, who is serving as the imperial historian in the imperial history platform, and now he has made this incident, so he has completely become a sandwich biscuit.

However, there is one person who thinks differently than others.

The Great Hajj begins.

This will be an important court meeting, Wang Ju is gone, the Qingmiao Law has been implemented, and it is not the Qingmiao Law that Xiao Su saw......

But not many people know the truth.

Wang Ju came to the waiting courtyard, there were many officials, and he didn't know many people, so he found a seat and sat down.

However, there are many people looking at him, after all, there are not many Jingguan who are so young at his level.

Fan Chunren walked over, others were still somewhat afraid of Wang Ju's big teapot, Fan Chunren thought that he was "frank" and would not be afraid. However, it is such a "gentleman's official" that Wang Anshi has the most headache, and Wang Ju also has a headache.

Before dawn, everyone was waiting for the eunuchs to enter the hall, and many people were chatting, and the content of the chat was not as the people outside thought, and there was no lack of all kinds of gossip, and even some "unhealthy" content.

However, seeing Fan Chunren coming over, the ministers around Wang Ju stopped talking together.

Fan Chunren asked, "Are you Wang Ju Wang Zi'an?" ”

"I've seen Fan Gong, and Xia Guan is exact."

"I ask you, why do you put an ordnance supervisor?"

"The armor is corrupted, and it has to be placed."

In fact, some officials heard the truth, whether Wang Juquan's ordnance supervisor was a normal personnel transfer or a punishment, and it was not easy for everyone to judge, but this ordnance supervisor was Wang Juti's.

But this is not what Fan Chunren is worried about, he asked again: "Zi'an, do you want to strengthen the army?" ”

"Exactly," Wang Ju said calmly.

"Open side?"

"Now is not the time to open the edge."

"The future is open?"

"Who can be sure of the future, besides, I don't have the ability of the holy minister Li Xin and the famous general Cao Wei, how can I predict it?" Wang Ju said slyly. Fan Chunren may not have set himself up, but if he doesn't answer well, this question will become a set!

"Wang Zi'an, you are quite famous among the military generals, although you have no intention of opening the border, but you persuade Your Majesty to put weapons to supervise the army, I am afraid that some military generals will misunderstand their intentions, and it will make the border chaotic and endanger the country, this is where I am worried, please Zi'an give me relief."

Gentleman minister, look, how polite you speak.

However, such a person may not be Wang Anshi's nemesis, but it is precisely Wang Ju's nemesis! (To be continued) R655
