Chapter 284 The emperor’s eldest son Zhao Huan and the emperor’s daughter Zhao Fujin (first update)
Gao Zhang is very aware of the virtues of this faint king master. You have to explain to him the similarities and differences between bronze and brass, as well as its composition and uses, from simple to profound.
That would only make this faint-hearted master feel impatient from the bottom of his heart, so Gao Zhang did not say any other nonsense.
"This disciple also knows from the craftsmen that brass is like steel and can be cast or forged. The production cost of forging is cheaper and faster than casting."
Official Zhao Ji stared blankly at his beloved disciple Gao Zhang, who was well-behaved and sensible, spoke simply and clearly, and pointed directly at the core of the problem he was most concerned with.
He raised his head and thought for a long time before speaking.
"I remember that last year, our Song Dynasty minted five million coins, and the cost of minting the coins amounted to more than six million coins."
"If the imperial court really uses this method and the cost is greatly reduced, it will be a great achievement."
"This matter, I think it is feasible, I will turn around. Well, I will think carefully about how to discuss it with the ministers..."
Having said this, the official Zhao Ji did not continue talking, but hit his forehead with a headache, his face full of depression.
Being a very talented and artistic Hunjun does not mean that he is a mediocre person.
The interest issues involved in making money and casting are not the same as the armaments of the Song Dynasty.
First, improvement requires manpower and material resources. These two, the old model, will definitely bring enough benefits to those officials.
This was probably another protracted war, which made official Zhao Ji look up at his beloved disciple Gao Zhang, who had a tender face in front of him.
If Xiao Gao could become a high-ranking official now, then he could directly leave the matter to him.
Just like nowadays, many complicated matters are left to Cai Aiqing.
It's a pity that this child is too young. As a master, how can he not shoulder the responsibility of protecting him from wind and rain?
"Master doesn't have to be like this. According to my disciple's opinion, it's better to ask the master to use internal funds to try it out. If it is really feasible as the disciple says, then we can consider implementing it as appropriate..."
"Eh..." Official Zhao Ji's eyes immediately lit up, "Oh, this is really a good idea."
I can use my own internal funds however I want to use them.
"This is a good method. Xiao Gao, you are truly a good disciple for me. You share your worries and solve problems for me. In this way, I don't have to deal with those ministers. So good..."
What could Gao Zhang say when he saw the beaming Master Hunjun? What could Gao Zhang say?
#####
"In this way, I will give you one hundred thousand guans from my internal treasure, and let's see how much brass money can be made with these 100,000 guans."
"Master, don't worry. This disciple will definitely keep a close eye on this matter and not dare to slack off."
"Why should I feel uneasy about your work? It's a pity that you are too young. Otherwise, I would have entrusted you with my trust."
Zhao Ji, an official who showed his sincerity, let out a long sigh. Being an emperor is tiring, but fortunately, there are people around him who can be used after all.
Whether it is Cai Jing, Cai Qing, Gao Zhang's biological father Gao Qiu, or Tong Guan who is good at military strategy, these are all talents that he can use with confidence and boldness.
Of course, Gao Zhang is also indispensable, but unfortunately he is too young. I really hope he can grow up overnight.
So entrusting the matter to this disciple of Yi Man is naturally far more reassuring than leaving it to others.
Next, Gao Zhang revealed the contents of the new credentials that the Liao envoy had finally obtained.
It was exactly the request that Gao Zhang made according to his own suggestion and approved by his master.
Whether it was the iron money trade or the book trade, the Song Dynasty really had no shortage of these things, not to mention it was a policy allowed by the official father, Emperor Shenzong.
Official Zhao Ji was very satisfied with this and encouraged Gao Zhang to make persistent efforts to successfully resolve the matter of the Liao envoys as soon as possible.
Gao Zhang was about to stand up and leave, but was stopped by the official Zhao Ji.
"Don't leave in a hurry today. Just stay in the palace for a while. In addition, my teacher will introduce you to two people who admire you very much."
"Adore your disciples?" Gao Zhang looked at the master with a wicked smile in front of him in bewilderment, somewhat confused as to what this master meant.
Admiration, although this adjective is complimentary, the question is, can you still have your own fans in this palace?
Could it be that she is a fan of aunties? Or maybe she is a fan of grandma?
"Yes, they have heard a lot about your deeds and what you have done. They admire you very much and keep saying they want to meet you."
"I have never had a suitable opportunity before, but today is the perfect time."
Having said this, the official Zhao Ji raised his hand to signal Yang Jian.
Yang Jian bowed respectfully and walked away quickly.
Gao Zhang could only sit back, and the master and apprentice continued to chat happily.
Not long after, the two heard laughter coming from afar, and looked over there in unison.
Then I saw a little boy who was eight or nine years old, with an upright appearance, holding a little girl who was half a head taller than him, and the two of them were walking towards this side hand in hand.
Gao Zhang immediately noticed Master Hunjun standing up with a joyful smile.
"Huan'er, Fujin, please slow down..."
After a while, the two little babies obediently bowed in front of Zhao Ji.
Then his eyes curiously fell on Gao Zhang, who was not much older than the two of them.
"Daddy (this is how royal children of the Song Dynasty were called in informal situations), who is this little brother?"
The pretty little girl blinked her dark eyes and curiously looked at the handsome young man standing next to her father.
"He is not an outsider, he is the beloved disciple Xiao Gao whom my father often mentioned to you."
The official Zhao Ji smiled fondly, turned his head and nodded towards Gao Zhang.
"Xiao Gao, this is our teacher's eldest son Zhao Huan and his beloved daughter Fu Jin. They are both children of the queen..."
As soon as Gao Zhang heard these words, his eyelids twitched.
Zhao Huan... Isn't this Song Qinzong, one of the two emperors who will cause disgrace to Jingkang in the future?
Fu Jin...Zhao Fu Jin, with this name, the corner of Gao Zhang's mouth almost tilted to the base of his ears. He didn't expect such a little beauty with bright eyes and zirconium teeth.
He actually has the same name and surname as the overweight, gray-bearded man from the ironware outfit.
The important thing is to be both blessed and rich. Unexpectedly, Master Zhao Ji, who is known for his talent and talent, actually took a people-friendly approach when naming his children.
Fortunately, he suppressed his emotions in time and saluted respectfully towards the future Song Qinzong and the princess.
"Your Majesty, Gao Zhang, is here to see the eldest son of the Emperor, and to see Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"He is the heir to the mantle inherited by father, who is only slightly older than his son Gao Guizhang?"
Zhao Huan's eyes widened and he looked at Gao Zhang with an exaggerated expression.
Zhao Fujin on the side was not much better. He seemed a little unconvinced that this little brother who was only a few years older than him was actually the top pick.
At this moment, a eunuch hurried over and whispered into the ear of the official Zhao Ji.
