Xie Jingwen said very implicitly, although Wang Ju did a reasonable and restrained job in this matter, Fu Bi was an old minister of the Three Dynasties after all, Wang Ju did not kill Fu Bi, and Fu Bi's death had something to do with Wang Ju. For this reason, inside and outside the court, all eyes are on it, so it is best to put Wang Juwai in the Daimyo Mansion, Henan Mansion and other places, to show that the imperial court continues to favor Wang Ju, and second, it can also soothe people's hearts.

Wang Jule was happy and said: "Xie Shilang, I asked Your Majesty for the right to ask for this position, not for the right itself, let alone for the sake of wealth and nobility, but for the convenience of doing things, I know that you have always opposed the use of troops by the imperial court and have always rejected me." I can go out, and I can even go back to the other side, but the banking department has already implemented it, do you have the courage to ensure that the banking department will not have problems? ”

Lao Wang was dumbfounded.

There are contradictions between ordinary ministers, but in the "graceful" Northern Song Dynasty, it is impossible to say it, but Wang Ju said it, and said it directly in front of so many important ministers.

"Don't mention this matter in the future," Zhao said.

Then scatter the dynasty.

Zhang Duan pulled Xie Jingwen's sleeve and asked, "Gong Xie, why are you adding fuel to the fire?" ”

Xie Jingwen flicked his sleeves: "Right is right, wrong is wrong." ”

He's reasonable.

Wang Ju was so angry that he rode to the new machinery company.

In the future, this "company" will contain five or six large workshops, and more than a dozen small workshops related to it, which is a large-scale industry. However, for the time being, the main thing is to make further improvements to the steam engine and various equipment.

The main thing is the craftsmen brought by the other side, who take everyone to improve together, and sometimes Wang Ju also comes to guide. What about the other thing. These craftsmen impart knowledge and theories to domestic crafts.

In Wang Ju's previous life, some people knew that Chinese lacked creativity. Or that there is a mistake in Chinese education. Look at the Nobel Prize.

This made Wang Ju speechless, it was true that there was some gap in the technology of the two sides at that time, but they were also catching up in great strides. In addition, the West's prejudice against China, not to mention others, such as Yuan Longping, the Buddha of the Wan Dynasty, is he not eligible for the Nobel Prize? At least one Peace Prize can be awarded.

Compared with the stick people, the Chinese people are indeed not as united as them.

However, the IQ of the Chinese people is what Wang Ju is most proud of. It's like calipers. When Wang Mang was in his time, he invented a very standard caliper. In addition, the pearl divers in the South China Sea invented the "diving suit" and the oxygen mask (a skin bag filled with air), which allowed the pearl divers to dive into the sea water at a depth of tens of meters to dive for pearls, and when they felt that it was difficult to breathe, they could also use the alarm bell on the police rope to remind the people on the boat to quickly pull themselves up.

There are also shoulder bags, and there are beautifully crafted shoulder bags in the Tang Dynasty, or non-slip shoes invented by Wang Ju, but there are similar shoes in the Song Dynasty, such as the sneakers when Keju, with cowhide uppers. The sole is fitted with round-toed nails, which is not only non-slip. And it is very wear-resistant, and then coated with tung oil to make it water-tight. Even in the future generations, it can be regarded as a smart sneaker.

But in ancient China, something must have gone wrong with education.

When the West began to popularize science and technology education, China continued to engage in scripture and righteousness, so could it work?

This can be seen on the other side, the emergence of these new things, Wang Ju only played an indicative role, as for the details, where can he remember them one by one? But after Wang Ju's prompts and the popularization of Wang Ju's math books, these new things were developed one by one.

Therefore, the craftsmen brought by the other side not only want to lead, but also teach relevant theoretical knowledge, so that these craftsmen in China not only know what it is, but also know why it is so.

Wang Ju looked around, instructed some defects, answered some craftsmen's questions, and talked with Shen Kuo again, before returning to Zhongshu.

Lao Wang said happily: "Zi'an, come and see." ”

It is a piece written by Liu Changzuo in Yanzhou, and it is also accompanied by a transfer book from the name of the Pleiades Xingwei to Liu Changzuo in the southwest of Western Xia.

After the battle of Yongle City, the entire Great Song Dynasty felt that the sky was collapsing, but the Western Xia used troops for many years, and life was not easy, so last year in the winter of the month, he moved the book to Zhao Yu and asked for tribute. But Zhao Yu is not stupid, after paying tribute, the Song Dynasty will have to give the year again, let you relax and fight again, and then the responsibility will be mine. Therefore, Zhao Yu did not accept it, but just wrote to the court to talk about the stakes.

The Liang clan went crazy again, and in February this year, he was defeated by Wang Wenyu and retreated. Then he invaded Yanzhou, when Liu Changzuo was still on Jingyuan Road, Shen Kuo did not give up, so he was successfully invaded by the Xia army, and countless people and animals were taken captive. In March, he invaded Mizhi Village and was defeated by Xue Yi, the general of Hedong. In April, they invaded Lanzhou again and were again defeated by the Song army. In May, attacking Linzhou, Linzhou Zhizhou Zihu refused, but could not be defeated, so the Western Xia let Xiang Kui surrender to Fuzhou, and was recognized by Fuzhou Zhikexing, but did not succeed.

Under the anger of the Liang family, he once again let the army move to Lanzhou, and succeeded at the beginning, breaking the Song army at Shuidongkou outside Lanzhou, killing the general Wang Shilong, breaking the Xilan Fort, and then killing the Song general Wei Ding. Then he stormed Lanzhou City, attacked for nine days, could not be broken, and the people of Lanzhou collected corpses for Jingguan.

In fact, this is a very dangerous sign, you must know that Lanzhou was originally from the Western Xia, how long did the Song Dynasty recover? However, the Song Dynasty did not pay attention to it for the time being, and no one on the Western Xia side thought about this issue carefully. Subsequently, the Western Xia invaded the Qianxing Village of the Zhenrong Army, and the defenders delayed the dispatch of troops, allowing the Western Xia to return from plunder.

Then there was no more, and Wang Ju came back.

But when Wang Ju first came back, the front line was still very tense, and the domestic situation in Western Xia was very bad, and he was afraid that Wang Ju, the killing god, would take the opportunity to counterattack, so he placed a wide range of elite troops on the front line.

However, it was not long before Xixia finally heard a lot of things about Wang Ju, and he was fighting wits and tactics with the old minister for that banking department.

Then you can fight slowly.

I dare to feel that the Western Xia has not yet figured out the significance of the success of the banking division to the Song Dynasty, thinking that this banking division is just like Wang Anshi's changes.

However, now the Western Xia is embarrassed, and he doesn't dare to attack it, this killing god was rated as a butcher in the Song Dynasty.

But not to attack, so that the three armies have always been placed on the front line, and the finances are even tighter.

Therefore, the book was transferred to Liu Changzuo, please repair the tribute, and unlike the transfer of the book last winter, this time the words are much more obedient and honest.

At the same time, on the other side, Wang Ju also warned the front-line officials and soldiers not to provoke the Western Xia.

The situation in Western Xia was very bad, and the situation in Shaanxi was even worse. Especially the families of the martyrs. Some families have many relatives or are in good shape. They don't have to worry. There are also some beautiful widows. It's easy to remarry, although if you don't get it right, you will become a juvenile king, but the problem is not too big. But the rest of the people are very bad.

Whether these people are saved or not, if they are not saved, they are inhumane, and if they are saved, it is a big black hole, so some historical books record that since the fiasco of Yongle City, Zhao Ji is tired of war, not war-weary. There's no way to fight it.

But now there is a way out, and that is to migrate to the other side.

This side is a burden to the court, but when you get there, you can participate in all kinds of manual work, and now there are more men and fewer women than adults on the other side, even if ordinary women pass, they are also regarded as treasures. Of course, after more than ten years, when the newborn baby grows up, the male-to-female ratio will become normal.

This is a benign complementary.

But because the number is too large, at least after next autumn. In order to move these orphans and widows to almost one. Without these people dragging them down, then Shaanxi Road will soon be able to recuperate.

So Wang Ju recalled Zhang Ji. Let him train the whole army next year, and only then can he launch a general battle the year after that.

Liu Changzuo is not very clear about these situations, but he also knows the embarrassment of Shaanxi Road. Therefore, these situations, as well as the transfer sent by the name of the star, were sent to the capital.

The situation on Shaanxi Road is not good, and now Wang Ju's situation is even worse.

Especially Xie Jingwen, he is not only quite prestigious in the new party, but also a household servant in the court.

If the gap is opened directly in the court, Wang Ju will be in great trouble.

As for the banking department mentioned by Wang Ju, it will only see benefits next year.

So Liu Changzuo's twist came too timely.

Don't mention the banking department, let's just say that this deterrent effect, Wang Ju returned to the capital the year before last, and Xixia immediately stopped disturbing the border. Now back in the capital, Western Xia immediately sent an envoy to sue for peace. What does this mean, Wang Ju alone should be worth 100,000 elite soldiers, he is a real elite soldier, not a group of forbidden soldiers in the capital.

In fact, Lao Wang also thought wrong.

If the banking department wants to see direct benefits, it will indeed be next year. But now it plays a role, the Song Dynasty was seriously short of currency, and if these tens of millions of silk exchanges continued, how much impact would it have on commerce and trade. And it's not an old friend, ordinary people don't dare to use it, and it's not copper coins and iron coins, a cart of iron coins can buy a silk, but now a dozen Taizu hands will solve the problem. However, tens of millions of guanjiao are not enough to leverage the entire Song Dynasty economy, and many of these tens of millions of guanjiao have not been printed, let alone flowed to the people. Therefore, the benefits have begun, but the benefits are not obvious for the time being.

However, Wang Ju's current situation is indeed a little rushed.

The news also came somewhat timely...... Although Wang Ju did consolidate Lao Wang's position as prime minister, if it was not Lao Wang, but someone else, Wang Ju was directly replaced when he came back, and it was Lao Wang that Wang Ju took the initiative to ask to only serve as the second prime minister. However, Lao Wang was also dragged into the water by Wang Ju...... It's hard to beat.

Wang Jucao looked at it and said: "The Xixia people have no credibility, they are not credible, if they send envoys to negotiate peace, they will also agree to it, but about the year, it is best to delay it, the later I give the border to the more peaceful it is, the sooner it is given, the sooner the border is restless, at least in the next year, the border is quiet to Shaanxi Road." ”

"What Zi'an said is extremely true."

"Also, warn the border soldiers, even if the two countries renegotiate peace, they should not be taken lightly, because of the invasion of Western Xia in the past two years, countless border people have been captured and killed."

"Hey," Lao Wang felt that something was wrong: "Why didn't you write this edict?" ”

"Prince, I'm feeling a little unwell and want to take a few days off."

"What's wrong?"

"It's just a little uncomfortable."

"That's okay, you're too busy during this time, so you should rest for a few days," Lao Wang didn't know if he really didn't know, or if he intended to pretend to be stupid and crazy, so he agreed to come down in one bite.

Wang Ju was sick.

Well, it's okay to be sick for a few days, but Wang Ju has been sick for nearly ten days in a row.

Zhao Ji was a little nervous, and hurriedly came to Wang's house.

However, he found that Wang Ju was not in the hospital bed, but in the study.

Zhao Ji flipped through it, it was all Arabic numerals and English letters, and Zhao Ji seemed to be reading a book from heaven.

In fact, Wang Ju has been writing books in his free time over the years, especially after arriving in Quanzhou, he found that he had forgotten a lot of what he had learned, which made him feel nervous, so he recorded the formulas and definitions he learned whenever he had time. Some formulas that seem to have been forgotten suddenly come to mind, so immediately find a pen and paper and write them down on paper.

After arriving in Quang Nam, I began to use this knowledge to take time to study more carefully textbooks.

It was not on the other side that the textbooks were officially revised, and many manuscripts were originally revised, but they were carefully sorted out on the other side. About now, everything that students can accept has been compiled into a book. However, there is still some knowledge that is too advanced and has not been sorted out.

Can Zhao understand this knowledge?

But Zhao Ji didn't ask, and then watched Wang Ju's face, which was normal...... He asked, "Wang Qing, are you really sick or fake?" ”

"I'm really sick, here," Wang Ju pointed to his heart.

Zhao Ji understands.

Wang Ju said again: "That day, the minister took Han Yun to the banking department, and when he passed by the Biandi, he stopped and took a look at the prosperity of Bianshui, and the sky was raining lightly that day. I never thought that the minister was recognized by a small trader named Zhang Gui, so he took the initiative to open an umbrella for the minister, and said, Taibao, you shelter the wind and rain for the Great Song Dynasty, and the small people have nothing to reciprocate, let the small people cover the wind and rain for the Taibao today. I'll just say, these little winds and rains, there is no need to avoid them. However, the ups and downs of the Great Song Dynasty, I have limited ability alone, and I can't cover it, and we must come together to play an umbrella in order to shelter the wind and rain of the entire Great Song Dynasty. ”

Of course, that Zhang Gui didn't understand. Then Han Yun said to the minister, right and wrong have their own merits, justice is in the hearts of the people, the minister said, not necessarily, people's hearts can be bewitched, the reason why Zhang Gui is grateful is that I banned the market law, so that these small traders have more vitality. But Your Majesty, this Great Song is not the Great Song of the ministers, but the Great Song of Your Majesty......"

Still don't get it?

If you don't understand, it's okay, Wang Ju continued to make it clear and said: "The reason why the minister asks His Majesty for the trust and support of the right is because the banking department will crack down on usury, and the Qi business tax will make many powerful people hate, without the trust and support of His Majesty, how can it be implemented?" The same is true for Shaanxi, the Western Xia should not be underestimated, if there is no His Majesty's trust and support, how can the minister pacify the Western Xia? ”

That is, since Liang Tao's impeachment, your performance has been very weak, and the minister is not sick, but he doesn't want to play anymore.

Speaking of this, there is nothing to hide, Zhao Ji asked directly: "Wang Qing, how do you want me to support you?" ”

"The minister informed the other side that the cotton city would be placed in the state, with Liang Tao as the governor of the cotton state, Xie Jingwen would be precious, and the Western Xia would just come to negotiate peace, with Xie Jingwen as the commander of the security army, and also, print this booklet, and the officials above the county level will have a copy."

Wang Ju took out a booklet, Zhao Ji flipped through it, it was the matter of the Daqing Palace's deliberation that day, except for the confessions of those people, they were all recorded in one sentence, and only dozens of typical records were selected, and the rest were recorded in the original book, tens of thousands of words, no exaggeration, no bias. But Zhao Ji hesitated: "Wang Qing, this is a bit too much." ”

Anyway, Fu Bi is also dead.

"Your Majesty, helplessly, the more positive the image of the rich man, the more negative the minister, with a negative image, the minister has no way to complete these two major things."

"This ......"

"Your Majesty, the minister also thought carefully before he came back, and he also wanted to try not to exacerbate the contradictions, so he tried to enlighten and persuade them, and did not kill those black-hearted usury merchants. But the minister found that it didn't work, some people were like Western Xia, they didn't listen to persuasion, and they didn't buy the New Year's coin, so there was only one last way. If Your Majesty does not agree, let the minister go, the minister promised to assist His Majesty for six years, and now it is less than six years, and in this time, the minister will still do things with peace of mind. After six years, the minister went to the other side. But the banking department and the Western Xia, the minister could not take over. ”

"This ......," Zhao continued to hesitate.

"The world is Your Majesty's world, and the minister can only say that His Majesty is holding this umbrella, but the person who uses the umbrella to shield the Great Song Dynasty from the wind and rain is not the minister, but Your Majesty." (To be continued.) )
