"I can agree with this," said Zhao Xu.

Not only the 90th battalion of Poche Army, but also the other battalions of armor and weapons must be replaced and eliminated, which is nothing more than one order.

And there are also previous examples, such as Kapok, which is used to advance payments from southern taxes and income. This is not difficult, so Zhao Xu agreed without hesitation.

Wang Jucheng struck the iron and said, "Your Majesty, I have another saying, "Kapok is clothing or cotton, which is the root cause of the people in the north to keep warm in the future. The importance of clothing and clothing is no less than food."

Zhao Xu's forehead.

For the people of the Central Plains, clothes are not only shy tools, but also cold-proof tools. If there is no clothes, the autumn wind will blow, for example, now, I don’t know how many people will die of freezing.

Wang Ju said again: "It is also the most important weapon to operate the north in the future."

With this sentence, Zhao Xu excitedly grabbed Wang Ju's hand. This is the advantage of age. Although age restricts Wang Ju from reaching a high position for a short time, it is precisely because of this age that Zhao Xu does not need to be polite to etiquette and can do some close actions.

Of course, Wang Ju was very careful. Zhao Xu was finally the emperor, and he was not the emperor who ascended the throne at the beginning. He was growing step by step, for example, in the end, letting Wang Anshi leave the position, is it really what the Bricks said?

No one said it right!

But this truth was something Wang Ju had only vaguely thought of recently.

What is an emperor? He is a lonely person! As an emperor, you can have close ministers, but you must not have friends, including yourself. Although Zhao Xu may still regard him as a close friend at present.

But it doesn't matter whether Wang Ju says it or not, and Zhao Xu's "motivation" does not require Wang Ju to inspire him. Moreover, the north is too far away... But if you really take over the north and have cotton, the nature will be different. The Han people can officially "break through Guandong". One or two million Han people stationed in the northeast. Well, there is no more Jurchens. Even if there is, they will eventually merge into one like the Xianbei people after the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Wang Ju said again: "So when I thought of this Kapok, I immediately handed it over to the Inner Canal. Gong Jiefu was running it, and I did not object. Whether it was the Inner Canal or the Three Sessions, in my heart, they were all courts. However, sugar is different. It is a consumable and enjoyable item. The people can have it, but it can be without it."

Zhao Xu's forehead was again.

In fact, this is a fool. But in the past few decades, it has indeed been an enjoyment item, once it has become popular. Just like tea, who dares to say it is an enjoyment item now?

Wang Ju said this mainly because he was afraid that the three sects would intervene, which would destroy the development of sugar. Then he continued: "Therefore, it cannot be intervened by the three sects. Although it is temporarily for the expansion of Zheng Baiqu Artifacts and Armors, in the future, I can use its income to do a big thing. I also mentioned it to Zhang Yu that it can reduce the cost of the Battle of Xia by half."

"Tell me." Another glimmer of excitement flashed in Zhao Xu's eyes.

"What is really short of Xixia lies in the economy, so we can attack its shortcomings, but then I have to have some capital in my hands. Of course, the part of the inner warehouse will be owned by the inner warehouse after the tens of thousands of Poches in Zheng Baiqu is replaced by the inner warehouse, and I use the remaining part of my own profit."

"Tell me about the specific one."

"Your Majesty has not thought clearly yet, so don't be anxious. Besides, the attack on Xia is still far away, so your Majesty is better not to mention it, otherwise the court will have a greater voice than the future reforms."

"I agree with this," Zhao Xu said. Besides, the money belonged to Wang Ju himself. He said that officials were not allowed to trade. Can it be banned? But it is not easy to say. If Wang Anshi intervened, forced the internal warehouse to hand over the technology and then set up the company to promote it. Well, one, two, three, sugar became a big price for sugar. Moreover, Wang Ju felt that Wang Anshi would intervene in the future, so before the sugar was officially released, he turned his attention to the Maritime Bureau.

However, with Zhao Xu's promise, Wang Anshi can't attack sugar for the past two or three years.

After two or three years, even though Wang Anshi took action, Wang Ju had already passed the hands of Zhu Li and other companies and transferred his sales abroad.

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

The king and his minister had a chat.

Zhang Ruoshui brought Li Hong.

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

"I'm from Shaanxi."

"How can I be considered a Shaanxi native?"

"Ming Gong, Caomin is from Suizhou. Now Suizhou belongs to the Song Dynasty, Caomin should be from Shaanxi."

But it is not easy to say. In the spring, under the influence of the Appeasement faction, the court agreed to exchange Suizhou for the territory occupied by the Western Xia in the Tumen area. Of course, this was not successful in the end.

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

"Qi Ming Gong said that Caomin was a craftsman in Youzhou before. Later, Suizhou belonged to the Song Dynasty. Caomin escaped from Youzhou, and the court redeemed my brother from the mine. So Caomin thanked the court and came to Beijing to offer crossbow technology."

"You're the name?"

"Caomin used to be called Li Ding, but there is still a relative in Youzhou. Caomin used to be a craftsman in Youzhou. He was worried about the revenge of Xixia, so he changed his name."

The mystery has been unraveled.

Zhao Xu said from the side: "Okay, you can call him Li Hong from now on."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Li Ding said excitedly. This was equivalent to the emperor personally giving him a name.

There were some deviations here. Li Ding's brother participated in the war, was captured alive and sent to the mine to be a mine slave. Later, Weimingshan defected to the Song Dynasty. The court paid money one after another, or used other methods to find prisoners of war in Suizhou from various mines and release them one after another, including Li Ding's brother. Then Li Ding made up his mind to escape from Youzhou, hoping to seek a small wealth with the crossbow technology.

In other words, if there was no Zhong Yan's letter, Wang Ju might not have seen the Divine Arm Crossbow. Now he saw it, it was more than half a year later than in history.

However, after he offered his crossbow-mounting technique, Zhang Ruoshui swallowed his credit and only gave him one hundred taels of silver. However, he brought his family and had to find a life outside the city. Fortunately, he did not leave the capital, otherwise Zhang Ruoshui would not be able to find him.

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

A writer is not the writer who wrote articles, but the rank of craftsmen. The Song Dynasty's official craftsmen were divided into three forms. One was the unpaid labor of criminals. A few had slaves and servants who worked as female workers. For example, the female relatives of Song Ji's family were used as slaves and were doing unpaid labor. The senior one was official prostitute, who could only enjoy the female relatives who had good backgrounds and outstanding talents. The second was military craftsmen, who were used as craftsmen.

The third is the civil craftsman. They hire ordinary people to be official craftsmen, and they are divided into long-term officials and temporary officials. Long-term officials are the real officials and craftsmen. But they are also divided into writers, heads, or writers, and all heads. These are relatively advanced officials or managers.

There is also a armor head, which is equivalent to a small head, and is more common in salt fields.

The next one is a complete craftsman, but it is divided into nine levels, and each level has different incomes. Finally, it is learning, not learning, or apprenticeship.

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

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Li Ding said tremblingly.

In the Song Dynasty, it was not as good as the Western Xia craftsman, but as a writer, it could be at least equivalent to the treatment of a second-rate online writer in later generations.

After receiving the reward, Wang Ju then said, "You come and see."

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

Therefore, Wang Ju intends to transform it.

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

Therefore, later, the Song Dynasty carried out a large-scale transformation of the Divine Arm Bow. One is that it is stronger. For example, it can shoot 360 steps. Every time it shoots an iron horse, it will fall down according to the string. That is to say, as long as it shoots on the enemy or on the enemy's mount, even if the enemy wears heavy armor, it will immediately blow the enemy cavalry. This was transformed by Han Shizhong.

The second is that it is lighter and faster, like 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 full, and Zhao Xu 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 shooting force gradually decreased. The horse yellow bow appeared, and the divine arm strength required more than two stones. Later, the pulling force of the ephedra bow gradually decreased below two stones. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was reduced to one stone, which was only comparable to the strength of ordinary strong composite bow arm. Therefore, one arrow was used to defeat the enemy, and the horse yellow bow could fire three arrows. However, the technical requirements were higher. Therefore, Yang Cunzhong deliberately mentioned four words in his memorial: precise production.

Three quicks are light and powerful, but this time the transformation seems to be unsuccessful. On the contrary, a more powerful monster, the Divine Power Bow, and the ordinary Divine Arm Bow can fire three arrows, and it can only fire one arrow. But this arrow is very disgusting. It is a marble arrow, which is the mini bed crossbow of the reduced single-player version.

Wang Ju is not very interested in the Divine Bow and the Defeat Bow.

Perhaps Yuan Meng was very powerful, and this concept had a profound influence on future generations. The reason why Yuan Meng was powerful was that he cooperated, the second was cavalry, and the third was that he was fast and flexible.

Therefore, Wang Ju attaches great importance to speed.

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

The reason why the Divine Arm Bow is different from other crossbows is that it has three: one is that it is more complex and precise in production and has a higher cost. The second is that the function of this complex crossbow style has many components that ordinary crossbows do not have. The reason for this is that it is to pull the rod and to increase its strength. Finally, it is its strange arrow.

This arrow is what Wang Ju transformed.

There are many reasons why javelins are not as far away as the bow and arrow. The main reason is that the bow and arrow are longer, the length of the divine arm bow and arrow is reduced, but the resistance is greater, so the arrow becomes thinner, but the arrow will easily float, so the iron arrow shaft is used instead of the wooden arrow shaft as before. This is an amazing progress.

But this arrow can become thinner or faster. If Wang Ju doesn't ask for range, he can rely on this principle to greatly transform the entire divine arm bow. Without reducing the range, the pulling force will decrease and the rate of fire will increase.

However, it is not easy. First of all, the weight of the arrow itself cannot be reduced. Even if all iron is used as the arrow shaft, the weight must be strictly examined. Moreover, the shape of the arrow and arrow shaft must also be modified. In this transformation, other components of the entire crossbow itself will also change accordingly.

But Wang Ju explained the reason in a simple way. With the direction of transformation, it will be easier to transform.

After talking for more than a day, Zhao Xu understood and said, "Wang Qing, lower your arm strength?"

"Your Majesty, if it is well modified, it will not only reduce the arm strength requirement, but will increase the rate of fire. And the power will not decrease much."

After Wang Ju finished speaking, he also drew an arrow, which was twice as long as the ordinary arrow, and was thinner in front, and then followed the arc and closed at the back. This was designed for balance of the center of gravity. If this small arrow becomes thinner, it can only move the center of gravity backward and the front more thinner. It is designed to cut the air well. But the effect, or how far the center of gravity is moved backward, the real object must be designed and then slowly investigated.

But no matter what, the Song Dynasty finally had this weapon.

The summons were over, and Wang Ju returned to the Ordinance Department safely.

However, Wang Ju's splash still caused many bad consequences, but the problem was not very serious.

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

Wang Ju's splash was disgusting with Sima Guang. And Wang Ju said directly in front of the emperor. That day, I also splashed Sima Guang's actions. Cheng Hao splashed it. In fact, Da Cheng was just a chess piece in Sima Guang's eyes, and he was not a real good friend.

But if Wang Jufa evil spurts him, what kind of face does he have to go to court? As for the punishment, depending on the emperor's behavior, what punishment will be. At worst, it will be demoted to a certain place to be a magistrate, or even if it is not done well. With this kid's ability to make trouble, he will be able to use bad means to achieve so-called political achievements, and soon he will come back.

"Jun Shi, I have heard of this, but Cheng Hao also made mistakes this time. If he is dissatisfied with the Regulations and is a polite minister, he will directly impeach him. Why bother to go to the Regulations and make a fuss?"

Wang Ju is unruly, and Cheng Hao is also arrogant.

"Besides, I heard that he had a very good relationship with Zhang Zai. Zhang Zai and Wang Ju live in the same house. If you want to blame him, you can go to Zhang Zai in private."

Even if you go to the Zhang Wang family privately, it doesn’t work, but as long as Cheng Hao doesn’t say too much, everyone can get through the situation. Besides, Cheng Hao seems to be higher than Wang Ju, his official position is similar, and his qualifications are similar. Don’t ask Wang Ju for a short time to be an official, but when he succeeds in one major, he will be where he is. Don’t talk about Wang Ju, even if he changes himself, Cheng Hao will not be happy. Besides, Cheng Hao is not a real old minister, he is only in his thirties.

"Yu Yu, why are you so confused? It would be fine if Your Majesty does not trust him, but Your Majesty trusts him very much. This will definitely be a disaster for the Song Dynasty in the future."

"Junshi, this is the matter of the Censorate, so don't interfere with you or I." Wang Gui said.

Some people once laughed at him as a good person in the three dynasties and the prime minister of the three edicts. He has a little soft personality, but he is from Shucheng, neither south nor north, and his classics and political achievements are not particularly superior. Only articles are slightly better, but are articles politically important? What should I do if I don’t be a good person?

However, we have to do things and discuss things.

What you oppose is the Southern Party, and Wang Ju is not from the Southerners.

What you oppose is reform, and Wang Ju also said that reform is a helpless move. He can understand it, but he will not support it.

Moreover, Wang Ju is really a disaster. On the contrary, in Wang Gui's eyes, the evaluation is very fair. A minister with unique ability will definitely be a super important official in the Song Dynasty in the future.
