"Prince Heli, please sit down." Wang Ju said.

He Li III sat down, and Wang Ju asked the concubine to make tea again.

"Young Baobao, I don't understand. Are you afraid of the people of Liao?"

"I'm not afraid of the people of Liao, but I have to take into account the overall situation. Prince Heli, I ask you, is the Song army led by Zhang Zihou strong?"

"Strong, I want to thank you and Chief Zhang for your help."

"But where is the power? There are only three items: excellent armor, serious military discipline and cooperation, and all cavalry."

"Shaobao is right, this cavalry is indeed powerful."

"But have you ever thought that the Liao Kingdom has hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and the northern part of Hebei is mostly a flat plain area, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry rushed over, what would it look like?"

Anyway, the Liao Kingdom could not threaten Champa, so He Li III's mouth full of breathing trains, which was irrelevant. However, when Wang Ju said this, He Li III thought about it and took a breath of air conditioning.

"I am not afraid of these cavalry in fact. There is another country in the northwest, Xixia, which restrained a large number of elite troops in our direction."

This is the key.

There are three good examples in Wang Ju's mind.

The relationship between China and the bear in the north in his previous life, and Emperor Putin.

Good man, Putin, good friend, polar bear.

If this is true, which country in New China has suppressed New China for nearly 40 years and did not dare to breathe? Who embezzled more than one million square kilometers of land in the Celestial Empire, making Outer Mongolia unable to return?

Therefore, the two countries were forced to join forces to keep warm. As for friends, don't take it seriously. Otherwise, polar bears would not sell a large number of advanced weapons to the monkeys in the south to disgust China.

But it is correct for these two countries to join forces to keep warm.

Next is the small Po Kingdom, Guangguang is barely considered a good comrade, while Longlong is purely a white-eyed wolf, which makes Po Kingdom the base camp of the anti-China banana people. But the Celestial Empire also has a way to deal with him, that is, Thailand dig a Grand Canal. Whether this Grand Canal canal can be made or not, at least Po Kingdom will eat vegetables. When it sees something is not good, Longlong immediately changed his words and repeatedly opposed Occupy Central to show goodwill to the Celestial Empire. As expected, considering all aspects, the Celestial Empire will not discuss the Grand Canal.

Therefore, although Longlong is a ungrateful wolf, it means that his diplomatic methods are relatively smooth.

Then there is no way for the rebellious Fat Third Brother. The Celestial Empire really needs Fat Third to cushion. However, without the support of the Celestial Empire, can Fat Third still rule?

Due to the need of international forms, the country had to swallow its anger, but the Celestial Empire developed to a certain extent. As long as it could completely defend the near sea, I believe that the Celestial Empire would kick the wolf away with one kick! The first two are successful examples, while the latter are stupid examples.

Overall, Heli III was relatively clumsy in diplomacy.

Jiaozhi threatened, so he seduced the Song Dynasty to send troops. The Song Dynasty sent troops, and you, Chameng City, also sent troops. However, this person began to carry the bench and watch the show.

If Chameng had sent troops at that time, would Guo Kui have ignored the opposition of many generals and evacuated the troops from the Fuliang River? Maybe because the focus of the Song Dynasty was in the north, Chameng could still gain a lot of benefits and seized a large area of ​​territory in the south of Shenglong City from the Song Dynasty.

However, because of his little abacus, Guo Kui withdrew his troops back. He Li III was stunned and hurriedly stationed a large army in the north. If Wang Ju had not appeared, because Champa troops were stationed in the north, Zhen La took advantage of the loopholes and captured the capital of Champa. This man also fled to Jiaozhi to take refuge. It became a huge joke.

But he can't be said to be stupid if he can ascend the throne.

Therefore, he immediately understood: "The meaning of Shaobao is that if the Western Xia has not been resolved, there is no need for the Song Dynasty to get into evil with the Liao Kingdom?"

“That’s right.”

"That's me wrong."

"You can't say you are wrong. In short, you can go to Beijing again. I'm very moved. But it's better not to come to Beijing again next time, just send an envoy."

This is like Zhao Xu never proposed how to reform. He was the last line of defense and could not be "exposed". As long as it was not exposed, there would be room for buffering. Wang Ju's intention was the same. As long as He Li III did not come to the capital, even if the messenger made any misunderstandings, He Li III would have room for buffering.

After all, the Song Dynasty is not the time when Li Shimin was now. Looking around, even jumping into Afghanistan, there was no other opponent.

Moreover, Wang Ju didn't want to explain the filth in the court.

Wang Ju's general He Li was sent away, and Zhang Shangying came again.

This is a very interesting person, even his words are interesting, namely Tianjue.

However, Wang Ju was a little surprised.

New Year's Day is the longest holiday in the Song Dynasty, with a holiday of almost nearly twenty days. However, not all officials will have holidays. All important ministries and departments will send one or two officials to stay behind to prevent emergencies.

However, those who stay are honest officials, who are kind-hearted... they will be bullied.

But Wang Ju kept Zhang Shangying this year.

It’s not that Zhang Shangying is honest, but what I think about it, especially the Zhongshu place.

Just like Wang Ju, if he had not been tempered for many years, even when he was in Qingzhou, he would have no idea when he was in the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat.

Also, the Holy Prime Minister Li Wen is no less than Fang Du of the Tang Dynasty. It was under his leadership that the most powerful rule of the Song Dynasty, the Xianping rule. However, this person was terriblely low-key, so he was often ignored by later generations. But even such a powerful person, who entered the East Prefecture as the deputy prime minister for the first time, did not do it well.

Therefore, Zhang Shangying seemed to have suffered a loss after staying at Zhongshu. In fact, it would not be possible. This is a great opportunity to give him a real and comprehensive understanding of Zhongshu alone!

So Wang Ju is a little strange.

Zhang Shangying sat down openly, talking about his free and easy attitude, even Wang Ju was far inferior to this person when he was young.

Wang Ju smiled.

Zhang Shangying said: "Prince, I received a memorial from Yu Chong, the governor of Qingzhou, in the Secretariat."

"Gyeongju?"

Zhang Shangying immediately knew that Wang Ju had misconceptions and immediately said, "That's right. Have the prince helped a person from Xiao Zuyang in Qingzhou?"

It is impossible for the Secretariat to bring out the report from various places. That day was done by Wang Zhen, who was afraid of destroying Wang Jue's warrants and sacking the market and making the law. That's it. If it was spread, Wang Zhen would definitely be miserable. Wang Ju did not report it and would also be impeached by many ministers.

However, Zhang Shangying vaguely felt that this might be a big deal, but he couldn't figure it out and the memorial was not brought out. But he could convey what was said in the memorial to Wang Ju.

"Remember, a felt carpet merchant."

"Prince, he has invested more than 100,000 yuan in recent years to develop a new type of textile machinery. This mechanical energy can twist the wool into very thin threads. By the way, Qingzhou also sent samples."

Zhang Shangying took out a curly yarn from his arms.

Of course, whether Zhang Shangying is good or Yu Chong is good, it is still impossible to clearly know its significance. But the two of them are not those stupid officials who are silly scattered. After Yu Chong and Zu Yang offered this item, he also felt that the matter was very small, so he immediately reported the matter to the court.

Wang Ju took this ball of wool. Compared with the high-end wool in his later generations, it was still very rough and had many joints. However, the quality of the wool was impeccable, and the real pure wool fabric was extremely soft in his hand.

"Tianjue, it may bring about a revolution."

"So awesome?"

"Think about it. How would you feel if you use it to knit it into clothes and winter comes and you wear it on your body?"

This still goes back to the question of how ancient people spent the winter.

Before the Song Dynasty, there were absolutely no cotton coats. There were many ways for the rich to spend the winter, including fur coats, and the poor had to wear thick hemp clothes. However, no matter whether they were rich or poor, they had to raise charcoal pots at home, so when winter came, a large amount of charcoal and bamboo charcoal were needed in the whole country.

Although there are fabrics similar to wool socks, they are not threads, but forced together like felt blankets. If they are not washed with two water, they will all be dispersed.

Under the leadership of Wang Ju, cotton was planted on a large scale, but the price of various cotton coats and jackets was relatively high. If a cotton coat costs three or four chunks of yuan, the sales volume was limited. However, a cotton coat costs only a few hundred cents, the gap would be too big.

However, compared with warm clothes such as wool sweaters, wool coats, the biggest disadvantage of cotton coats is that they are too cystic. Especially for soldiers, it is quite inconvenient to fight in thick cotton coats. Therefore, many foreigners in the northwest who are not afraid of the cold, think that cotton coats are expensive and troublesome. They still wear short animal leather jackets during training or marching.

But this is not the reason for the "revolution". The real reason for the revolution is that its appearance will inevitably lead to crazy buying, and more people will join the industry. The raw materials that focus on it are very limited. Therefore, if you want to get more wool, you must have more pastures. Even because the Song Dynasty had severely lacked pastures, some people forced the people to return farmland to pasture.

"So it's not a good thing?"

"No, Zuyang's technology is still manual technology, which is inefficient and is not enough to cause the harm of sheep eating people. On the contrary, because of its appearance, it will bring more vitality to the poor people in the northwest. Especially in the Xihe area. If officials do anything else and promote the planting of alfalfa and other forage grasses, the income of the people in the Xihe area will immediately surge, which will help to quickly integrate this area into our Song Dynasty. If the imperial court induces it properly, a new industry of millions of yuan will appear."

Due to the lack of material sources, this industry will not reach the height of the cotton industry. But it will definitely exceed one million traffic every year.

However, Wang Ju pondered for a moment: "But there is one..."

"what?"

I think the money I have made in Zuyang in the past few years is probably all the money I have spent on research and development because of my own words.

In fact, the investment in R&D between the two sides is not much. The key is that the investment in R&D is that the other side has invested a lot, and there has not even been a shadow of artillery and steam engines yet. However, with R&D, casting, smelting, materials and other technologies, they have been rapidly improved and have been put into use in other aspects.

However, if Zu Yang fails to succeed, all these tens of thousands of yuan will be wasted.

Wang Ju was stunned and said, "Tianjue, you will write a memorial to discuss a new issue, that is, patent."

"patent?"

"It is the research and development of every technology. It belongs to the developer and the investor. If others want to own it, they must negotiate with the owner. If they do not get their permission, others use this technology and must be punished by law."

"Prince, what if the owner is unwilling to sell it, or blackmails others at a high price?"

"Brother Tianjue, just like the tea cup in my hand, I bought it for 600 cents each. However, if the merchants sell for 600 guan, can I ask the government to send someone to arrest him? Since ancient times, it is precisely because of the lack of relevant measures and laws in this regard that in order to prevent others from stealing, the owner had to find ways to protect himself. Then, for various reasons, many crafts were lost, which is a pity. This is the first one. The second one is the cost of prevention. Just like in the past, merchants in Yanzhou bought bamboo paper workshops in Hangzhou. In order to prevent others from stealing their technology, they specially sent people to take care of various important workshops, and to keep the craftsmen confidential, they gave them high prices. If these costs are removed, can bamboo paper be sold cheaper and more scholars can use bamboo paper?"

"Prince, bamboo paper is no longer cheap now..."

If I leave it to the Gao family, the country will not be able to collect taxes, so the kindness of donating bamboo paper like poor prefectures and counties will no longer be used, and the price of bamboo paper will also increase...

Therefore, Wang Ju hated this method of the market.

"Tianjue, I only said that before the workshop was handed over to the Gao family, you have also seen the importance of new technologies, such as the comparison of salt drying and salt cooking, the cost of bamboo paper, the loom, etc. These have all invested huge R&D costs. If you don't protect it and let others steal it, who is willing to invest huge investment in research? Therefore, the third function is that once the country has laws to protect it, more people will invest in research and development. Then the costs of various commercial goods will become cheaper and cheaper, and it will also promote more people to become richer."

After saying this, Zhang Shangying understood.

He sighed: "Prince, when I was the imperial examination, I was the real top scholar."

Zhang Shangying and Wang Ju were both Jinshi in the second year of Zhiping. Wang Ju was a little better, so he got a second-class player, while Zhang Shangying was very miserable, and he was the end of the third-class player.

However, many of the top Jinshis in the imperial examination that year were mostly lost to everyone.

"Being good at the imperial examination does not necessarily mean that you have talent in politics. This is just a way to admit talents in the country."

"It's true, prince, I found that the Secretariat has a talent."

"Who is it?"

"Cai Yuanchang."

"Cai Jing?" Wang Ju was silent for a while before saying, "Tianjue, how many hearts does a person have?"

“Only one.”

"No, a person should have two hearts."

Cai Jing has to be careful. If it were someone else, it would be fine, but Zhang Shangying and Wang Ju also kindly wanted to remind him. (~^~)
