Chapter 454: Beautiful Things

Feng Jing said angrily: "Your Majesty, you must severely punish Li Fugui and Chong Ge. ”

It's all the fault of Li Fugui and the kind of greed, otherwise there will be a crisis!

Wang Ju stared at this big Sanyuan, of course Feng Jing was much better than Sima Guang, but he was also a difficult character, he said slowly behind him: "Feng Gong, it has nothing to do with Li Fugui, let alone a seed. When the Western Xia sent envoys to the Liao State, the battle of Luowucheng had not yet begun, and it was when Liang Yibury tried to capture Huaining Village. At that time, although Li Fugui had already sent troops to make trouble in the fort, our army was the losing side. ”

That is to say, no matter whether the Kind of Church Jing does not operate Luowu City, the Liang clan will also send envoys to make an agreement with the Liao State, and then gather a large army to send troops to Dashun City. As for whether it has anything to do with Lee Fu-gyu, it's really hard to say.

It has a relationship, and that's Lee Fu-gyu's fault.

It doesn't matter, Li Fugui did the right thing, otherwise let the Western Xia build up the Fort and the Twelve Pan Fort, and then there will be White Leopard City in the southwest and Jintang City in the northeast, which will just form a strong defense line. When the Western Xia army arrived, it was a greater threat to Gyeongju.

But it doesn't matter, God knows. Even if there is a relationship, the Liang family is also ambitious in Gyeongju.

And unlike a few people's thoughts, Wang Ju was not very worried.

This 300,000 may be a real number or an imaginary number. Just like Li Fugui was afraid of the imperial court's blame, saying that there were 100,000 Western Xia servants building forts in Shipanling, and only two forts were being built, as for 100,000 people?

It's just a real number, with the current strength of Gyeongju, it is also stronger than in history, the god arm bow, some strong troops left by himself, and tens of thousands of Baojie troops in Zheng Baiqu in the rear, I think Li Fugui can hold Dashun City more without losing.

There will be a fierce war in the future, but after this war. If the Western Xia is unsuccessful, then the Western Xia economy will become embarrassed again, and this battle will not be successful, and the Liang family will not dare to be delusional from now on.

Maybe I'm just leaving the capital. It's also good to get a Huanzhou Zhizhou.

But Wang Ju thought about the appearance of these ministers some time ago, and couldn't help but sneer: "Princes, there is nothing wrong with benevolence, but there are two sentences behind benevolence. The same is true for the country, even if it is a child, too doting, can only raise unfilial offspring. The death of Western Xia has always had ill intentions towards my Great Song Dynasty, but you have always valued peace. Gou and begged for peace, let it go again and again, and in the end, instead of thanking, they had greater ambitions, and the heart of the Great Song Dynasty in Western Xia did not die. ”

…………

Zhang Ruoshui threw a book of accounts on the faces of several people, while constantly scolding angrily: "Look at how much money you spent!" ”

"Spending so much money just to get this thing done? Can they fight? ”

"From today. You have cut out the ordnance superintendents. ”

Wang Ju heard Zhang Ruoshui's scolding inside and walked out. In fact, since the autumn, Wang Ju has been trying to hand over the ordnance superintendent. Many affairs gradually shifted to Zhang Ruoshui's hands. It's just that Wang Ju has always been very strange, why Zhao Ji said okay, let him go to the northwest, but there is no follow-up, so Wang Ju suspects that someone must be behind the trouble. Zhao Ji let himself serve as the governor or the commander, and some people were unwilling. If you let yourself be a judge. Zhao Ji is unwilling, and he will be unwilling. The two sides are at a stalemate.

But there are limits to this stalemate. After all, after the New Year, I will be twenty-four years old. A Zhijun or a small state of Zhizhou still does not have a zĂ i problem.

Therefore, some craftsmen have a bad attitude or are lazy to eat, and they have successively cut out the ordnance supervisor, and Wang Ju has also handed over more to Zhang Ruoshui for treatment.

However, this time Wang Ju stood on the side and interjected, without him, these craftsmen Wang Ju knew a lot.

After the autumn, the ordnance supervisor had already completed the transformation of the divine arm bow, tiger cannon, hydraulic cold forging, and swords, guns and shields, so Wang Ju shifted his attention to another direction, that is, real artillery and flintlock guns.

It should not be very complicated, but Guan Jian Wang Ju has never seen the real thing at all, and can only imagine it with some plausible knowledge in his memory, where can he get it.

But even this bit of plausible knowledge is also very valuable.

Moreover, in the Song Dynasty in history, there were already shoddy artillery, "mines" and "mines", so Wang Ju allocated a sum of money and found dozens of more clever craftsmen, and then instructed them to tinker. Anyway, the money is not too much, for example, more than a dozen officials who eat idle meals are laid off.

But this experiment is very dangerous, it just so happens that the big mansion built by Wang Ju is uninhabited, and it seems that the imperial court will also silt the fields from next year, but it is the water of the Jinshui River, and the sediment is relatively small, at least three or four years of silt, so as to accumulate enough silt for cultivation, and then divide the troops into the fields, as for what to do after five years? Can you think about it so long-term, and how many people will oppose Tuntian at that time, whether Zhao Ji will change his mind, and how many forbidden soldiers will go to Tuntian outside the city in the end, it is still unknown.

So Wang Ju used this big mansion as a test area for these craftsmen.

"Zhang Duzhi, what did they do?"

"Zi'an, you asked them to develop weapons, but they didn't do their job, but they made this thing......"

Wang Ju's eyes lit up.

Zhang Ruoshui didn't notice it, and continued: "After igniting, it can emit brilliant light, but what does this do? Can you go to war? ”

"Fireworks......

"Fireworks?"

"Let me give it a try." Wang Ju lit it, it was still broad daylight at this time, but in the wax moon, the light was not as strong as the summer, and it happened that this day was a little dark, as the fuse was burned, there was a sound, and a gorgeous and colorful light appeared in the sky, which attracted the strange look of the surrounding people.

Wang Juju guessed that the Song Dynasty liked to stuff a lot of inexplicable things into gunpowder, and Wang Ju was not too opposed, these things may not work, but as long as the ratio of nitrate, sulfur and charcoal powder is correct, it will not affect the lethality of gunpowder. And stuffing these messy things can also confuse the enemy, such as the intelligence obtained by Western Xia, which is said to be seven or eight ingredients, and I don't know the proportion, which is terrible, where can I study the correct gunpowder.

It was these craftsmen who happened to add magnesium-containing mineral powder to it, and the fireworks appeared.

In fact, there were no such craftsmen, and fireworks in the late Northern Song Dynasty were also studied in history, so some people ridiculed China for getting gunpowder. Only firecrackers and fireworks were made, and gunpowder was obtained from foreign countries, which led to the arrival of thermal weapons and the advent of a new era of technology.

This statement may not be accurate, in fact, since the appearance of gunpowder, some weapons have appeared one after another. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was some gap with the West, but it was not large, and some ministers also noticed this gap, such as Xu Qiguang, as the prime minister, but translated a large number of Western doctrine books. But with the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, all began to regress, and the book was still there, and Tang Ruowang and these foreigners tried their best to promote Western science, but they all let the three emperors of the Qing Dynasty enter the cold palace.

Of course. China has been strict from the beginning of the mistake, Shi farmers and businessmen, Shi is the first, ordinary people want to be officials, more of the road of science, but what can be tested by science, Jingyi!

Okay, so who else wants to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry?

Zhang Ruoshui didn't know what Wang Ju was thinking. He said worriedly: "Zi'an, it's the real trick. ”

"Zhang Duzhi, let me ask you. I made that platform diving, do the people of Beijing like it? ”

That was also attacked by the scholar at the beginning as a strange skill, but let Wang Ju distinguish it, your emperor took his head, competed for the bid on the Jinming Pond, and swung and dived. Why can't ordinary people be allowed to take a dip?

"What is a trick? Techniques and products that are too ingenious and useless are tricks and tricks. For example, the dragon boat, let Sui Yang go down to the river capital. That's a trick. But let the people compete in the Dragon Boat Festival, that is to give the people joy. If we don't dedicate it to the official family. Is it still a trick to make the officials addicted, and to hand it over to the people, and make the people happy? ”

"Our family has some understanding."

"In this way, I will immediately send someone to invite some merchants, and they will contribute capital and sales, and the ordnance supervisor will be responsible for R&D and manufacturing, and the profits will be half each, how about it?"

The merchants Wang Ju said were nothing more than those merchants of bamboo paper and cane sugar, among which Wang Ju accounted for a large proportion, but Wang Ju's money was returned to the imperial court. This building is definitely a win-win construction for the country.

Zhang Ruoshui was still hesitating: "Will it cause another turmoil?" ”

"Who dares! But this matter should not be delayed, once I leave the capital, it will be difficult for you to withstand this pressure, and its profits are not small. ”

Zhang Ruoshui was skeptical.

"Look, if this thing appears, it will be welcomed not only at home but also abroad, so the Ordnance Supervisor will have an activity fee."

The cost of the study of the artillery and flintlock pistol is quite a lot, if you are lucky, you can have some eyebrows in two or three years, and if you are unlucky, you may not have eyebrows in ten or eight years, and someone will make a fuss at that time, but with this money in your hands, you don't have to worry.

And with this money, it can be rewarded, the treatment of some craftsmen can be improved, and more armor can be made.

But when the time comes, the Ordnance Supervision Commission will be even more eye-catching, so Wang Jucai said the word pressure.

"We get it."

Wang Ju smiled slightly, if this matter is successful, it will not only bring a lot of income to the Ordnance Supervisor, but also may change many people's views on this strange skill, and this is a huge industry, it will bring income to many people, but this Wang Ju did not say it again, and few people understood it.

He patted one of the craftsmen and said, "Come with me." ”

Wang Ju brought them in and wrote a contract, a confidentiality contract, to let them continue to develop and develop, but they must be kept secret, but Wang Ju promised to allocate 1,000 yuan from the Ordnance Superintendent every year as a reward and distribute it to them, and this distribution will last for twenty years.

"Ming Gong ......" The craftsman was overjoyed.

"Zi'an, our family is still a little worried."

It's not that Zhang Ruoshui is timid, from this year onwards, the Song Dynasty has gradually evolved to reverse black and white, and it is not clear whether it is reasonable, and sometimes it is not as effective as Wang Jupo's cup of tea and that trip.

Wang Ju thought for a moment and said, "That's it, maybe I will use it on the battlefield, and then there will be no one to gossip." ”

"It's going to war?"

"Maybe."

"Zi'an, I heard that Xia Kou will make a big move?"

"You've heard that, too? But remember, don't talk nonsense outside. ”

"Congratulations to Ming Gong for making contributions again."

"It's hard to say, I'm not familiar with Li Fugui, I don't know what he thinks of me." After Wang Ju finished speaking, he thought to himself, I hope he will hear about the good things he said for him in the Yanhe Palace.

This is the end of this matter, but Wang Ju still has one important thing to do...... (To be continued)
