The king of kings did not say anything, and Zhao Niannu did not ask, but said, "What's the matter with you here today?"

If you don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble, Wang Julai is definitely not talking about sugar.

Wang Ju said his future intention.

Maybe Zhao Shiba was unintentional, but in this troublesome situation, how could Wang Ju not suspect that there was a conspiracy behind him? Zhao Shiba sent a matchmaker to ask for marriage, but he definitely refused. If there was a conspiracy behind him, Zhao Shiba would hate him, and even the other royal family members hated him. But Wang Ju was not easy to explain, and he could not explain, why? You will definitely be able to join the Secretariat in the future?

Wang Ju had no choice but to find Zhao Niannu.

After hearing this, Zhao Niannu also felt strange: "Why? I'll talk to the official family for you."

After a bend, Zhao Xu came to the military weapon prison in person and brought a person over.

Wang Ju looked at Zhang Qi strangely: "Master, why are you..."

Zhao Xu said in front of Zhang Xu: "Zhang Xu wrote a few days ago and asked the court to allocate some armor to the Pochet army. I then issued an edict to let him go to Beijing to report his duties."

The profits of the sugar workshop were allocated to Zheng Baiqu, but the income in the first year was still limited, only a few hundred thousand chunks of chunks, and it was not enough to cast weapons, so don't even think about armor. However, Xixia launched an attack again, and Zhang Shi also realized that the war would break out at any time, and then the tens of thousands of Poche troops would go to the battlefield at any time. He couldn't wait, so he wrote this memorial.

In fact, it is not only the northwest battlefield, but also the Hehuang.

However, Zhang Xu still ignored Zhao Xu's attention to these tens of thousands of Poche troops. A few days ago, Zhao Xu deliberately summoned the prime ministers of the two prefectures in the Political Affairs Hall to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the system of prefecture and garrison.

There is a background behind this. Wang Anshi's opening up of the source of the world has caused chaos, so it is best to put his mind on severance. Reducing the costs can only save two major expenses. It is very troublesome to directly lay off officials and reduce officials. Looking at Wang Ju's various things in military weapons supervision, he is still a grassroots official, so his only idea is to severance.

The previous layoffs were very powerful and could not be laid off any more. Zhao Xu also discussed with Wang Anshi that at least before the border troops increased, the number could not be reduced. But now, the Song Dynasty's imprisoned soldiers, wing soldiers, Poches, foreign soldiers and local soldiers still have more than one million. This does not include the charity, strong men, archers, strong men and other militias in various places. Although these militias were not paid, they were somewhat subsidized. In other words, after such a large-scale layoff, the military expenditure was still astonishing.

Therefore, after seeing Zhang Shi's memorial, Zhao Xu immediately summoned Zhang Shi to the capital. Not only did he ask the tens of thousands of Poche troops, but he also asked Cai Ting and Wang Shao's military farming in Qinzhou, Weizhou.

Wang Ju said: "Your Majesty, I am only responsible for the military weapon supervision affairs and the manufacturing of the armor inside the military weapon supervision. Who will be assigned to the armor? Your Majesty Free and the prime minister of the two governments decide."

Zhao Xu asked: "Will Xixia still violate our dynasty?"

"This depends on it. If the Western Xia has been in full bloom for many years and the Liang family is a rebellious person, they will inevitably invade and take revenge on our dynasty if they lose the Suide army."

Zhao Xu turned his head and asked Zhang Qing: "Is there any disaster in Xixia in the past two years?"

Zhang Shi shook his head.

Zhao Xu frowned, and Wang Ju said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Liang's family is far from being comparable to Li Yuanhao."

"Who is better than military than Guo Kui and Wang Shao?"

Guo Kui can make do with it, at least a hundred times stronger than Ge Huaimin and Han Qi, but what Guo Kui uses to compare with Wang Shao, but Wang Ju is not easy to say clearly: "Your Majesty, I can't know it, but seeing Wang Shao convinced Bao Shun alone, he can be comparable to Wang Xuance and Ban Chao with this courage alone. I think his military talent will not be bad."

Zhao Xu was happy and said, "Take me to see the armor."

"Here."

Wang Ju first took Zhao Xu to see the knife. This is the easiest comparison. Wang Ju asked the clerk to open the edge of a knife, then found a knife produced in the warehouse a year ago, and chopped each other. It turned out that the knife was almost split in half at one point, and the gap was slashed to the back of the knife.

"Can you compare it with Taoxi sword?"

"No, if you want to produce swords like Taoxi swords, you can do it. However, the cost is too high. But at least half of the armor in the army is unqualified, including swords. These armors must be replaced in time, and it is impossible to manufacture them like Taoxi swords."

Zhao Xu sighed slightly.

Wang Ju took Zhao Xu to see the Divine Arm Bow again. Zhao Xu tried it, but he actually pulled it all over. Although it was very difficult to pull it, he said, "This new bow is good."

"The new bow is good, but the cost is too high."

After all, it’s still money, so Wang Ju’s long comment on Su Dongpo’s hard work is wrong. Is the country rich and strong?

After reading the Divine Arm Bow, Wang Jucai took Zhao Xu to look at the armor.

This armor is the kind that Wang Ju made in Huachi. It’s just that the price in the capital is expensive, and there are no free handymen, so the production cost is higher.

Zhao Xu asked: "How many sets can you make this year?"

"If the funding is sufficient, more than 60,000 sets can be generated a year."

"Can you have a little more?"

"Your Majesty, money." Wang Judao.

It is already very good to actually be able to manufacture more than 60,000 sets a year. This is Wang Ju used the assembly line production method, otherwise the output would be even lower. After all, it is armor, and armor pieces are slowly created one by one.

However, this quantum production is not too small. Moreover, there are also various institutes and institutes that will also produce some armor. Together, as long as the output can be maintained, all the unqualified armors of the imperial guards, as well as cloth armor, leather armor and paper armor can be replaced in five years, including the border army.

Then it was like the time in history that the Xia Dynasty could be used in the entire army.

However, that is impossible. Just say that these more than 60,000 sets of armor will cost more than 2 million guan. This is Wang Ju's presence. If Wang Ju is not there, he will cost more than 3 million guan. The armor is only part of it, and there are also expenses for various institutions. The armor alone costs 10 million guan a year. Zhao Xu agreed, but the ministers would not agree.

Zhang Feng smiled, then reached out to weigh the weight of the armor. As for the quality, he didn't care much about it. With Wang Ju's inspection, it would be impossible for him to be bad.

In fact, this weight has always been very tragic in history. In the early Song Dynasty, Song and Liao countries did not pay attention to armor, and there were rarely full heavy armor. Therefore, Li Jilong used Tian Jing's heavy cavalry to kill Yelu Xiuge so hard that it was flowing.

It was not until the battle between Song and Xia that Li Yuanhao's cold forging heavy armor, especially the Iron Harrier, repeatedly defeated the Song army. So Tian Kuang suggested that craftsmen use cold anvils to build pure steel armor, and the Fo Ren armor of the Song Dynasty appeared. Then in the Jin Dynasty, the Song and Jin battled. Because the Fo Ren armor was heavy, the defeat was annihilated. He won and was unable to run because of his clumsy speed, he ordered nothing to take and captured for no reason. So he made light armor, which was not long at the knees and elbows, and the vest was easily leather armor.

Therefore, the light steel armor created by Wang Ju was stunned by the Xixia people in the Battle of Dashun City. However, the Xixia people were not bad. Seeing its wonderfulness, they were also imitating it. They were just trapped in finance, not much armed, and did not obtain carbon tempering technology, and the quality was not as good as the light armor of the current one.

However, Wang Ju was still very dissatisfied. After all, he had a load of thirty kilograms, which still dragged down the speed of the marching.

But he has no financial or energy to develop bone porcelain armor, and he may not be able to succeed.

Zhao Xu didn't know Wang Ju's thoughts. In short, after looking at the armor in several warehouses, Zhao Xu was very satisfied and said, "Wang Qing, I have solved your problem for you."

Wang Ju understood that matter and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he left the military weapon surveillance and left the two of them to speak.

"Zi'an, the official family just asked Armor, why didn't you say it?"

The armor was made and would not be placed in the military weapon prison all the time, so they would have to be replaced with soldiers from each battalion. If Zhang Yu didn't want it, the court would have changed all the imperial guards. However, a larger war was coming, and God knew where these imperial guards were garrisoned at that time. The worst thing was to change the imperial guards, which was purely a decoration and could not be sent to battle at all.

"Brother, you don't understand. The two heads of the Western Palace are Duke Wen and Duke Lu. They like to be quiet. In addition, they have a tacit understanding of Sima Gong, and I have a bad relationship with Sima Gong, so they don't like me. It would be better if I don't say it. Once I say it, you can't get any armor."

"But the war is imminent."

"It's a war that is coming, and Wang Shao may still open Hehuang in a year or two. But His Majesty is afraid of everyone's opposition, so he endured it and did not say anything."

"This is possible, but it needs to be paid more attention."

What Wang Shao is doing now is to digest Yu Longke, that is, Baoshun's subordinates, and the other is to cultivate farmland and store food and grass. Once the preparation is completed, he will be able to send troops to Hehuang. Others can't see it, but Zhang Shi can definitely see it.

"How about it, you can ask Zhang Zihou."

Zhang Feng also heard about the situation in the court, but he did not expect it to be so serious. He silently said, "Then wasn't my trip in vain?"

"No, either. Your Majesty specially summoned you to Beijing to report your duties. I think your Majesty agrees. I will teach you another plan."

"What plan?"

"You write another memorial to Xifu, and only discuss one thing. This year's Xixia invasion of Suide Army is just a test. I am afraid that the scale will be larger in the future. Xifu will take the initiative to enlarge the amount of armor to the Poche Army."

Zhang Yu thought.

"Brother Husband, a large-scale battle has begun. As long as the Poche Army is equipped, it will definitely use the Poche Army. Using the Poche Army will save costs. What do you think of the Lu Wen guilds?"

Zhang Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Zi'an, after hearing what you said, I feel a little breathless."

"Don't use it, if not, how have so many dynasties changed over the ages? You hold your breath, but I stayed in the capital. In fact, after the military weapon supervisor was the one who was in charge, I also planned to find a way to leave the capital."

"Then come to the northwest."

"I'm afraid it's unlikely."

"Does the court not pay attention to your military strategy?"

"Precisely because of the importance, some people don't want me to make contributions, and some people don't want me to be troublesome."

"But it was Jie Fu Gong who became the prime minister."

"Your Majesty summoned me to Beijing because I wanted me to assist Mr. Jie Fu in reform, but I didn't agree. God knows what Mr. Jie Fu was thinking."

"How about Duke Jiefu?"

"Please see the house Du Li Wang."

"Who is King Li?" Fang Du Zhangqiu knew that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

"Li Han, Wang Dan."

Needless to say, the Holy Prime Minister Li Feng, the most powerful internal governance of the Song Dynasty, Li Feng had to take half of the contribution. Wang Dan's evaluation was a bit complicated, especially after serving as prime minister for so many years, he did not stop Song Zhenzong from becoming a great god, so he confessed before he died, asking his son to shave his hair off and put on a monk's robes to bury him. But strangely, when he was prime minister, no matter how Song Zhenzong worshipped the great god, the Song Dynasty could continue to maintain development, prosperity and stability, but it is really hard to explain what Wang Dan did. There is another comparison. After Wang Dan's death, the two powerful men Kou Zhun and Ding Wei were prime ministers one after another. Look at the chaos in the Song Dynasty in those years, it was not as good as Liu E in charge of the national affairs.

"I understand, should the ancestors change their laws?"

"I only say one thing, Buddhism. People all accused Zhou Shizong of abdicating Buddha, and he was retribution. However, Taizu went to Xiangguo Temple and asked Xiangguo Temple to host Zanning, if I should worship this Buddha, Zanning had no choice but to say that Tathagata was the Buddha of the past, Your Majesty was the Buddha of the present, and the Buddha did not worship the Buddha. Taizu just bowed. The rain continued to stop in my court. Taizu sent someone to go to the fearless Tripitaka Pagoda of Guanghua Temple in Longmen to issue a declaration to the Buddha. If the rain did not stop, he would definitely demolish the pagoda. Then when Taizong came to Taizong, a monk in Jiangdong wrote a letter saying that he was willing to build a large temple for the Buddha, and when the temple was completed, he was willing to burn his body to repay him. Taizong approved it and the temple was completed. Taizong sent an internal guard Shaoqin to come. The monk disagreed and said that I went to the capital to burn his body in front of His Majesty. Wei Shaoqin ignored it and threw the monk into the fire pit, and then reported to Taizong that he had already done it. However, how many ministers do not believe in Buddhism now?"

"But Taizu Taizong..." Although the two were good friends, Zhang Qi did not dare to say it, but it meant that neither emperor would die well. Zhao Kuangyin died inexplicably. Zhao Kuangyi had a wound and almost rotted his legs to his bones.

"But what about Zhenzong and Renzong." Song Zhenzong believed in Buddhism, but he also died of illness, let alone Song Renzong. He was the famous Emperor Ren in history. However, even a son did not survive. He finally raised an adopted son and even had a Puyi dispute. As for Zhao Shu, the real retribution in this life, he died of illness in his thirties, who had only been uncomfortable for three or four years.

"However, reform cannot be pure and indifferent."

"Brother Zhifu, has Taizong changed the system during the Taizu period? Zhenzong initiated the Xianping rule, and Renzong changed again, but when did they shout reform?"

"I understand. Fang Du and Li are difficult to learn, but I can learn from Zi'an. No matter what, I will talk about it after doing it."

"Hahaha," Wang Ji smiled and beat Zhang Ju hard again.r1152
