Chapter 599: White Clothes (II)

Wang Ju continued: "In the battle of Gyeongju last year, our dynasty also invested more than 100,000 troops, but the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Weizhou, the 26 battalions of officers and soldiers in Jingzhaofu, and the officers and soldiers of several battalions in Dunzhou were all put on the battlefield later. If we deduct these more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, we can actually mobilize not many troops, and the ratio of the number of enemy troops to the enemy is almost 1:4. By the way, the envoy waiting, please convey a sentence to the official family, don't underestimate the Western Xia army. If, because of these victories, the main general underestimates the enemy, produces the mentality of underestimating the enemy, and has no way to command, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Because he was not very happy, Wang Ju only reminded this sentence.

"In that case, I used some workarounds to motivate the soldiers, so why not? Please ask the official family again, and you want the horses to run, and you want the horses not to eat grass, is it possible? One million guan, it seems like a lot, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers, yes, maybe they will thank me for the time being, but just for seven or eight guan, they were bought by me? ”

This background is the fatal killing of Wang Ju by some people in the court.

In fact, Wang Ju changed his methods and took out a lot of money to reward the soldiers.

However, these money are used relatively scattered, unless Li Zhen and others are arrested and interrogated to find out the specific total amount, otherwise relying on these fragmentary numbers to impeach Wang Ju will not work.

Because Wang Anshi was forced, Wang Ju handed over the soju workshop to the imperial court, and the remaining two workshops were sold.

Although the Song Dynasty was full of millionaires, it even generated more than one million yuan of single transactions every year.

But there is anyone who gives a million at once to do good deeds. Even if there is, it is not for the officers and men of the three armed forces.

And this time is a bit ingenious, just because of a few workshops. Wang Ju and Wang Anshi had a bad relationship. Even the relationship with the whole reformer has become delicate. After all, the market change law is one of the most important changes in the hands of the law changers.

As a result, many ministers wrote letters of impeachment.

Even some neutral ministers felt inappropriate.

After all, this amount is too large, and it would be better if Wang Ju "broke it into pieces". Or Wang Ju was directly donated to the imperial court by ten merchants, and then the imperial court distributed it to the soldiers of the three armies, which would be better.

However, in doing so, it is faintly developing towards the festival of the Tang Dynasty.

Don't think that only Wang Ju is rich, there are many rich top ministers in the Song Dynasty, like Han Qi's family property is not a few million? Not only Han Qi, but also Fu Bi. Wen Yanbo, Wang Gongchen, these people's properties are also amazing.

The three of them talk about tigers.

These recitals came into the hands of Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji was gradually shaken, not only this million guan, but also Wang Ju's prestige in the army was also amazing.

Of course, he wouldn't think that Wang Ju would rebel.

However, this is a very bad trend, so Zhao Ji asked Wang Ju to go to Beijing to report on his work, and by the way, he also planned to rearrange Wang Ju's official position.

If you discern well this time, then you will be promoted. If you discern it reluctantly, move flat. If it doesn't go well, then drop it slightly.

Even Zhao Ji was worried about Wang Ju's thoughts, and deliberately sent a lieutenant envoy down to appease.

Therefore, Wang Ju focused on explaining this article.

One is why there is this reward.

Second, it seems to be a large number, but if it is apportioned, is it big?

These are the three main things, but Wang Ju said another thing: "Last year, there was a big explosion in the Jingdong Road coal mine, and many people impeached me. But can you blame me, please see. ”

Wang Ju took out a few more pieces of paper.

This was deliberately printed by him in the Ordnance Prison, and then sent people to distribute it to various pits and mines.

The above mainly said a few things, how to use a more clumsy method to detect carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, gas, in fact, there is no Wang Ju's explanation, in the Song Dynasty in the pit workers also have some means of their own detection, such as after entering the pit, light the torch, if the torch is automatically extinguished, then there is "poisonous gas" below, the pit can no longer be dug. In fact, the concentration of carbon dioxide under the pit is too high, and it will be dangerous for people to work underneath.

But Wang Ju's pieces of paper are more specific.

In addition to carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, it is also specifically explained to prevent landslides and gas.

Why, because of gunpowder, then mining can be mined deeper, and there is no doubt that if the pit mines are mined deep in this era, it may collapse at any time.

In addition, there is water ingress into the pit, which must also be prevented. Once the groundwater veins are abundant and the pit is deep, and the groundwater rushes into the pit, another serious accident will occur.

The last one is this gas.

In particular, if the coal mine is dug deep and gunpowder is used, a gas explosion can occur if it is not done well.

Then there are all sorts of detection methods, methods of prevention, including lengthening the fuse of gunpowder. This is not only to prevent gas explosions, but also to prevent landslides.

There are other methods, which are relatively backward, but they are very advanced in this era.

In fact, Wang Ju didn't know.

It was this gas explosion that prevented gunpowder from being popularized in the Ming Dynasty.

For example, in the "Tang County Chronicles", the situation of iron ore mining is described, "the sky collapses and the earth cracks, and the smoke of gunpowder is filled", which is the use of gunpowder.

After all, by that time, gunpowder recipes were becoming more and more standard.

But why did it disappear later?

It is precisely because of this ignorance that gunpowder is also used in many coal mines, and gas explosions occur from time to time, and there are so many people who die that everyone dare not use it.

As a result, Chinese history has missed one of the most important opportunities for development. And then the gunpowder remained...... Fireworks display.

Wang Ju didn't know about this history, but that didn't mean he didn't know about gas.

So on the last page, I talk about this gas repeatedly.

However, I didn't expect that an accident finally occurred in a coal pit on Jingdong Road last year, and it is said that more than 40 workers were killed in that accident.

That's what everyone is impeaching about.

But can Wang Ju be blamed?

Wang Ju reminded him, and deliberately wrote such a detailed manual, and printed and distributed tens of thousands of copies, how many copies have not been sent to that pit mine? But the mine owner didn't listen, so what should Wang Ju do?

There are other things to impeach Wang Ju, such as embezzling Gyeongju commercial taxes and supporting the people. The Tibetan people do not rebel. But for the sake of Liwei, he killed him. Or force them not to carry armor and equipment. Attacking the shrimp and toad village, thousands of people died. Privately issuing loans, extorting various workshop owners to collect money...... Some people even openly pointed out that Yang Hui went to Gyeongju to deliver the decree, and it was Wang Ju's instigation that some people arrested Yang Hui and tortured him.

And so on, but these Wang Ju didn't want to explain it at all.

Wang Ju said: "At this time, the capital was pointing to me, so the official family kindly let me go to Beijing to report on my work. Justify yourself. But Jiefu Gong was dissatisfied with me because of the workshop. Gong Wen hates to eat my flesh and knock my bones even more. When I entered Beijing at this time, can one mouth say hundreds of thousands of mouths? ”

"I used to tell the official family that I grew up on the border since I was a child, my father died early, and then I also experienced some hardships, so I have a strong personality. The official family wanted me to do everything, but in trouble, the envoy reported to the official family on my behalf, and the minister disappointed him. The character of the minister is that he would rather be broken than be broken. ”

Wang Ju finished speaking. took out the seal letter and other things, and took out the official clothes that happened in the court, and then took off his black hat, and the official uniform on his body, and said: "Lieutenant envoy, tell the official family, the minister will not resign from the official!" ”

Sure enough, something big happened.

"I can't." Hou Yuanli shouted.

Wang Ju, dressed in white, took the record written by Huang Hua and looked at it, and said, "That's it, the envoy in trouble will show it to the official family." ”

Then he took Huang Hua and several of his guards to leave the state government and go home, and then took all the guards at home to get on the horse and rush out of Gyeongju City. The people saw it, and many didn't pay much attention to it. Because in the past, Wang Ju sometimes went out in civilian clothes.

Hou Yuanli said to Zhang Qi eagerly: "Zhang Tongju, why don't you stop it?" ”

"Zi'an originally sent someone to the capital because of the workshop, ready to explain to Jiefu Gong, but he didn't expect his servant to arrive in the capital, but he heard the wind and rain in the capital. So I didn't visit Jiefu Gong, and hurriedly came back to report. That's when Zi'an made a decision. I persuaded, but Zi'an didn't listen, so what could I do? ”

Don't think that if you don't resign, there will be no danger.

If in the Qin Hui era, it is guaranteed that you will be recaptured, and then you will be tortured and then rematched. It's just that it's not a bad word, and the flow is indispensable.

For example, in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, if you don't get it right, you will cut off your balls.

If in the era of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, after resigning, hide immediately, otherwise there will be a danger of losing your head.

But in the early Northern Song Dynasty, there was nothing!

However, the problem comes, no matter whether Wang Ju's actions are right or wrong, but Wang Ju has great merit to the Song Dynasty, literary merit, martial arts, if it is not for his shallow qualifications and young age, with his same merits, it is enough to lift him into the ranks of the two mansions.

Let's talk about the economy, don't look at Wang Anshi's toss like this, if indirect income is included in the calculation, at least Wang Anshi's contribution to the treasury is not even as good as Wang Ju.

Not to mention the great military exploits in the northwest.

However, he was forced to be young and resigned, so what would the people think?

What the people in other areas think Zhang Ji didn't know, but he urged: "Wait for the envoy, you go quickly, as soon as this news is exposed, the people of Gyeongju may be angered, and the envoy will be affected by the pond fish." ”

Hou Yuanli understands, he came to Gyeongju City from the capital, and he actually saw the changes from Ningzhou, even when he arrived in Gyeongju, he didn't enter the city immediately, there was still a distance, and he also saw the changes along the way.

And this matter is not trivial, and it cannot be delayed, so he got on the horse and left Gyeongju in a hurry with the record written by Huang Hua.

Zhang Qi silently looked at the sky. Of course, Wang Ju must have done this too intensely, but if he survived this hurdle, it would be a vast sky, at least Wen Yanbo would have to break half of his teeth.

Then he looked at the street in front of the state office, the street was full of people, very lively, the people didn't know at all, but this time, it can be said that it was the most rare happy time in their lives, so most people had smiles on their faces.

The happier the people, the more Zhang Qi shook his head, and several officials also shook their heads.

Wang Ju rode all the way north and came to the security army first.

He did not go to Jiang's house, but sent Huang Hua to Jiang's house to ask his mother to go to the tea shop outside.

At first, the tea customers in the tea shop didn't care one by one, after all, the two countries were reconciled, and some big businessmen also came to trade with a large number of attendants.

It wasn't until the Queen Mother appeared that the tea guest woke up.

"It turned out to be Wang Zhizhou."

The two great victories, as well as the great rule of Gyeongju, made Wang Ju almost deified in the hearts of most of the people on Shaanxi Road.

Wang Ju arched his hand at these excited tea guests, and then said, "I've seen Niangniang." ”

In short, the news of what the Jiang family did also spread, and the people of the entire security army were very disdainful, making the people of the Jiang family, especially the mother-in-law of Wang Ju's mother, almost unable to raise their heads and be a person.

"Ju'er, how did you come to the security army?"

"Well, I'm no longer the governor of Gyeongju, so I'll come back and take a look first." Wang Ju's tone was neither happy nor sad, very calm. This is different from two girls and three cows, either miss or hate it.

"Niu Niu Niu Niu Niu are they okay?"

"Sanniu and the eldest son of the teacher are studying in Guozijian, and the second girl stays in the capital to take care of them."

"Did the second girl find her mother-in-law?"

"I booked a marriage for her, the child is very loyal, and he is also studying in the country, I made an agreement with his family, once the child can pass the exam, I will let them marry. If you miss them, you can go to the capital to have a look. After so long, Sanniu has also grown up, not as ignorant as when he was a child. ”

"I ......," the Queen Mother just cried in a low voice.

Wang Ju was not comforted, but asked the guard to carry out a box and said, "This is a box of silver, you can take it out to supplement the family." ”

With that, he left the tea shop, and then rode to Wangjiazhai with the guards.

But now he doesn't know any of the people in the village.

However, the cave built by the Zhu family for him was still used by the people in the village as a private school, which seemed to be stained with his fame, and the people in the village built a house on the side, which was also a private school, but the scale was far larger than before.

Wang Ju also saw several scholars standing in the cave, shaking their heads, not knowing whether they were chanting poetry or what they were saying.

After standing and watching for a while, Wang Ju said, "Let's go." ”

Although things are similar, people are not.

Wang Ju rode a horse and came to Yanzhou City again. He also owns a house in Yanzhou City, that is, the house where the Li family married.

If you don't become an official, you can't go to the capital, so let's stay here for a while.

However, Zhao Wei was frightened, and he hurriedly took his subordinates to Wang's house. It's not Wang Ju who scared him, but Gyeongju...... (To be continued......)
