Ice edges began to hang up outside, and the water gradually froze.

The family was preparing to make breakfast, and the concubine was helping Wang Ju to sort out her official clothes, and suddenly whispered: "Official, the concubine is here." ”

"What's there?" Wang Ju was thinking about something, didn't pay attention, and asked unintentionally. Qiong Niang snickered on the side, and the concubine complained at a glance.

Wang Ju realized this and said happily: "That's good." ”

However, although Wang Ju was happy, he didn't want the concubine to be pregnant at this time, after all, he was only twenty years old, and his body had not fully grown up, and it would be a good time to get pregnant for another two or three years. But with a child, Wang Ju is still very happy. And the concubine has not been pregnant for a long time, and there are some rumors outside.

The concubine said again: "Official, how many officials will the Ordnance Supervision Commission cut?" ”

"Why do you ask this...... Someone has been looking for you? ”

"Yes, fortunately, there is Qiongniang, official, can you cut a little less?"

"Why do you say that?"

"The concubine is pregnant, and she also wants to ...... for the child in her womb"

"Concubine, don't say it, in this way, you clean up today, go to Shaolin Temple to pray for blessings, take a look at the scenery of Songshan by the way, and take a break for a while, and I will send someone to pick you up at the end of the year."

Now at the end of winter, but there is a leap winter month, and there are still two months to go, and the matter of wanting to come to the ordnance supervisor has also been arranged, and when the concubine comes back, there will be no more people looking for the concubine. Qiongniang sighed on the side, she disagreed very much in her heart, she can avoid it now, what if Wang Ju stands in a higher position in the future?

However, Wang Ju didn't think about it at all, and the simplicity of the concubine would only make him like it.

Had breakfast. Wang Ju went to the ordnance prison. Just arrived at the door. A servant hurriedly reported: "Ye Mo hanged himself." ”

"Ye Mo hanged himself?"

"He was hanged on the way from his house to the ordnance prison, and I'm afraid he may not have ......hanged himself," the little official said.

Wang Ju immediately rode a horse to find him.

In a remote alley halfway from the Ye family to the ordnance prison, many people were surrounded at this time, as well as officials and officials of Xiangfu County, and even Yin Hanwei of Kaifeng Mansion also rushed over when he heard the news.

Wang Ju got off the horse, squeezed through the crowd and squeezed in, Ye Mo hanged himself on a big locust tree, and there was a stone that had been kicked down under his feet. It looks like he died by suicide. But this is impossible, Ye Mo is now highly valued by Wang Ju, why did he commit suicide?

Wang Ju's eyes flashed with anger, and in anger, he only arched his hand at Han Weiluo, which was regarded as a greeting, and then looked at Yu Zuo to inspect the scene.

Xiangfu Zhixian said with a bitter face: "Han Gong, I'm afraid this case can't be handled by the officials." ”

He hadn't seen anything yet, but he had vaguely guessed the truth behind the scenes, so he simply pushed it to Han Wei.

Han Wei bowed.

"Han Gong. I want the real murderer. Wang Ju said on the side, this is the capital. This case must be solved, but you Han Wei don't want to fool me with a few dead ghosts.

Han Wei shook his head, not knowing whether it was a sign that it was impossible, or if it was helpless that some people were bold.

However, no matter how you fight, you can't make a fuss, and if you make a fuss, the matter will be big. Moreover, Ye Mo is not an ordinary official, but a hall official, a hall official who is valued by Wang Ju, and even Wang Ju has rectified the weapon supervisor, and after a little mention, he will be a capable grassroots official in the Song Dynasty in the future.

He recorded the scene and asked the people around him, but he got limited clues, and after Ye Mo got Wang Ju's weapon, he worked diligently and went to the ordnance prison very early every day, and the location of the crime was remote, so no one saw how Ye Mo hanged himself.

Han Wei reluctantly ordered to carry Ye Mo's body to the Kaifeng Mansion, and sent officials to inquire about the information.

Wang Ju also went to the Kaifeng Mansion, Han Wei wanted to say, I will handle the case, you kid is still not at ease?

However, considering Wang Ju's mood at this time, he didn't say anything in the end.

After a while, Ye Mo's family came to the court crying, and the official also brought first-hand news, including Ye Mo himself.

Ye Mo has been studying in a private school since he was a child, but after taking the imperial examination twice, he failed to pass, and his father died early, so he gave up his studies to make a living, and at the beginning the www.biquge.info of the pen fun pavilion was very low, and he was an ordinary swordsman, and even did a bad work. The most difficult time was when he married a wife and had children, his mother was seriously ill, and once under the persecution of life, his wife leaned on the door and laughed. Until his mother died, he saved up a sum of money to enter the arsenal, why did he have to spend money to enter the arsenal, there is a lot of oil and water.

First of all, this number, if Wang Ju does not come to rectify, by the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the ordnance institute alone has 3,700 Wanquan craftsmen and 5,000 craftsmen in the east and west, which is only one of the dozens of courtyards and bureaus.

Looking at its production, according to the regulations, seven people make eight bows in nine days, eight people make five pairs of knives in six days, three people make one hundred and fifty arrows in two days, and a skilled craftsman can make five to six pairs of armor a year. In fact, a qualified officer can build at least three or four sets of soldiers' equipment in a year.

10,000 officials and craftsmen can produce nearly 40,000 soldiers' equipment, as long as it is properly maintained, it can maintain a life span of at least 30 years, and the black lacquer bow made by Tianbao is still in use at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the glue paint does not take off after 147 years, and there are still 20,000 rockets left in the Pingnan Tang Dynasty that have not been used, but were taken by the Jin people to deal with the Song army.

If according to Wang Ju's plan, keep 450,000 forbidden soldiers, 300,000 border troops of the official battle, and replace unqualified armor, including those without equipment, plan to 400,000, this is also a remarkable number, it is actually impossible to do this, a set of equipment is at least more than 60 times, if it is equipped with a god arm bow, more money, with the current finance of the Song Dynasty, then there is so much money? Then 10,000 officials and craftsmen will be enough. But don't forget, in addition to the bureaus in the capital, there are dozens of factories in each road, and they are also producing in addition to maintaining and repairing armor.

However, in practice, although Song Shenzong added so many officials and craftsmen to the Xia, because the quality of production could not keep up, he had to spend money to forcibly manufacture bows and arrows among the people.

Redundant to this point, many soldiers were not highly motivated because of the harsh and deductive officials above, so they later set up a killing head, that is, those who were disobedient and dared to resist, were immediately beheaded by military law.

But where does all this redundant money go, in the pockets of those officials!

This Han Wei also knows it, but the ordnance supervisor is just a microcosm of the redundant officials and redundant politics of the Song Dynasty, but it is just more strict. Only Wang Ju, a stunned young man, dared to touch it. Without him, blocking people's money is like killing parents, and blocking people's future is also like killing parents. Wang Ju blocked both.

Therefore, many people with a short future want to come in.

But what benefits can Ye Mo's background gain? So Wang Ju parachuted into the weapons prison in front, and Ye Mo decisively defected to Wang Ju.

Wang Ju reformed the ordnance superintendent, and in the process of reorganization, assessment and elimination, he also observed, selected twelve capable and obedient officials to lead the twelve academy treasury envoys, and then promoted all writers, writers, and directly put other people's lives in the air.

The other officials must not be reconciled, not only instigated the craftsmen to make trouble, but also bewitched these treasury envoys and capital writers, but now there are too many spare tires in the ordnance supervisor, Wang Ju took out two treasury envoys, more than a dozen writers.

In fact, when the reorganization is over, Wang Ju will still be eliminated according to the situation, can he use 20,000 people?

These people were helpless, and they set their eyes on several Xu officials, who were Wang Ju's right-hand men, especially Ye Mo.

Some time ago, there were often some officials in the government who came to harass him, including Lu Duan's great-grandson, Lu Xu's nephew, Li Zhaoliang's grandson, Li Jilong's great-grandson, a son surnamed Wu, his ancestor was not as famous as Li Jilong, but his grandmother was the county lord, the biological daughter of Zhao Yuanwei, the sixth brother of Song Zhenzong, and several other grassroots officials of the ordnance supervisor.

After they came to Ye's house, they not only intimidated, but also insulted Ye Mo and Ye's wife in front of Ye Mo's teenage son.

Probably because of this, Ye Mo committed suicide.

Hearing that the official report was finished, Wang Ju asked, "Han Gong, do you believe it?" ”

Han Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head.

These powerful children may be considered a figure in front of Ye Mo, but what are they in front of Han Wei and Wang Ju? Don't say that a dead county lord, that is, this county lord is still alive, how many county lords and county lords are there in the Song Dynasty now? Who cares how many descendants they have? As long as Ye Mo finds Wang Ju, the problem will be solved easily, it's a big deal that Wang Ju will move Ye Mo's family of three to his big mansion, who would dare to go to Wang's house to find trouble? In exchange for suicide?

It's a big deal.

Han Wei continued to review the case, including those who made trouble, and brought them to the Kaifeng Mansion Court.

Wang Ju returned to the ordnance prison and immediately ordered the reduction of the Xu officials, leaving only more than 60 people, all of whom had been observed before, and who were still doing things honestly and silently during this time, and the others all let them get out. There are also many people who are wronged, but Wang Ju doesn't care, as for the number of Xu officials is not enough, Wang Ju has allocated dozens of Xu officials from the writers of various capitals, a total of 96 people, and each library is equipped with eight Xu officials.

That's the standard for the future.

Subsequently, Wang Ju cut off nearly 2,000 disobedient officials and craftsmen, which is a large production of gunpowder, and it is necessary to immediately produce a large number of divine arm bows, otherwise Wang Ju will cut five or six thousand people.

The official Wang Ju was not good enough to take it out directly, but he immediately wrote a book, and only 36 officials were retained, and each treasury was equipped with a chief and deputy envoy, a supervisor, and everything else was gone, and the writers and writers of each capital directly replaced their work.

As for how the others were arranged, whether they were to be idle at home, or to be arranged in other ministries, Wang Ju did not mention it, anyway, they didn't want to continue to stay in the ordnance prison, how the court arranged them, I don't ask.

Shushang, even Wang Anshi made Wang Juju dumbfounded, Chen Sheng even gasped, Ye Mo's death, the matter is a big deal, but Wang Ju laid off so many officials, the matter is also not small, he didn't dare to call the shots, and immediately sent Xiaohuangmen to send this sparse performance to Zhao Ji, Your Majesty, it's up to you to make the decision.
