Zhao Jiu was unable to complain and could not complain.
Not to mention whether Yue Fei is a no-name, and whether he should be looked down upon by Li Yanxian, who is indeed the most powerful and outstanding person on the front line at this time, Li Yanxian's attitude is actually very direct... His meaning is very obvious, please don't treat him as an outsider, like
The official position of the governor of the town sounds a bit like placing him in a feudal town, which is an insult to his character.
Moreover, there is another meaning in this, that is, frontline generals like Li Yanxian who have never been in contact with Zhao Jiu still do not believe in their bones that the Zhao Guan family is really delegating power.
Of course, the opposite must be said. Li Yanxian's weird temper is more like showing loyalty and seeking recognition, rather than deliberately causing trouble.
What can be done?
"In this case, Mr. Lu, you can take care of this matter." Zhao Guanjia thought for a long time, and after figuring out the logic, he simply issued an order. "If he wants a serious official position, then give him a serious official position... Let Li Yanxian
Be the governor of Shaanzhou!"
"The officials make a clear decision." After arriving in Nanyang, Lu Haowen became more and more friendly, and he didn't know whether he dared to touch the officials' heads after drinking too much.
"What about the weapons inspection?" After the matter was roughly settled, Zhao Jiu continued to ask seriously.
"Report to the official." Wang Boyan stepped forward and bowed his hands in greeting. He seemed to be quite ashamed, but no matter what, it was obvious that Lu Haowen handed him the note about this matter. "I discussed it with the Privy Council in many ways, and also went to investigate in person.
I asked about the place and the manpower, but I all felt that there were some problems... Firstly, it was difficult to select a location; secondly, it was difficult to find craftsmen."
"Tell me carefully and slowly."
"Yes... good instructors know that if you want to set up a weapons inspection, you must first set up a furnace to tap out iron. Logically speaking, there is Baihe River around Nanyang, and there is no shortage of coal in the surrounding area, so it is just right to set up a furnace." Wang Boyan said seriously. "But around Nanyang
There is no danger to defend. In the past, Wanyan Yinshu could easily arrive here from Luoyang, Xijing. If the weapons supervisor was placed outside the city, once the war resumed and another Jin man came here with the advantage of the cavalry, the weapons supervisor would be unavoidable.
It would be easily destroyed; but if it were placed inside the city, Nanyang City would already be very crowded due to the construction of palaces, imperial schools, and government offices."
Zhao Jiu was thoughtful.
"As for the craftsmen, it's a bit simpler." Wang Boyan continued. "It's just that most of the craftsmen in Tokyo were kidnapped by the Jin people, and most of the craftsmen gathered here in Nanyang came from Bashu, Jingxiang, etc.
They have not returned home for many days in order to build the palace, and they do not want to stay in Nanyang for a long time."
When Zhao Jiu heard this, he just felt weird... Because according to Wang Boyan's description, these problems are actually not a problem. After all, when the country is in this position, the weapons of the Ordnance Supervisor, armor, are the most deadly things, and they must be paid at all costs.
of.
And under this guidance, let alone ridiculous words such as crowding and craftsmen homesickness, even if it is the most extreme situation, that is, it is really destroyed by the Jin people in just a few months, shouldn't we just do it?
At this time, it’s good to have an extra set of armor!
After thinking about this, Zhao Guanjia thought for a moment and was too lazy to play the political game of guessing with Wang Boyan. Instead, he went straight to the point: "Then where does Wang Qing think the weapons inspection should be placed?"
Wang Boyan raised his hands and looked at him seriously: "In the official family, I think it is better to leave it to Xiangyang and settle down in Xiangyang. I think the craftsmen can also feel at ease here."
Zhao Jiu suddenly realized...that is to say, how could Wang Boyan, or the Privy Council, or the officials and officials, not be able to grasp the importance and waste time on such things? It turned out that they were waiting for him to conquer Xiangyang from the beginning. Those
The reason is more likely to be specifically thought up to ensure that the arms inspector was moved to the south bank of the Han River.
Of course, it is indeed a good thing to place it in Xiangyang. Zhao Jiu can think of several advantages when he closes his eyes. It is convenient to transport materials and people, and it is indeed safe... However, behind this matter is
This is because a large number of officials, represented by Wang Boyan, do not have enough confidence in the outcome of the possible war.
Of course, Zhao Guan's family doesn't really believe in the outcome of the war, because people have to face reality.
"Then let's go to Xiangyang." Zhao Jiu thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.
Wang Boyan immediately took the order.
However, this matter was of great importance, and Zhao Jiu was not willing to accept it, so the two sides discussed it for a long time... Let's talk about it, this Zhao Guanjia is an engineering dog after all. Although he has learned a lot about circuits and the like, the so-called engineering practice
Most of the time I have soldered circuit boards, but I am an engineering geek after all, so I still have some ideas.
In his mind, after the Ordnance Supervision was established, as a time traveler, even if he could not make any earth-shattering inventions, he could learn from high-end online articles to promote the assembly line and standard weights and measures, and experiment with the best gunpowder formula to inspire him.
Craftsmen, if you lay the legendary wooden track, drive a donkey-powered train, and make some big news, wouldn't it be natural for you to benefit the country and the people?
However, as the Zhao family kept talking, the more they talked, the more they felt that their words sounded like clichés, even if Wang Boyan agreed very neatly... To put it bluntly, after yesterday's farce by the river, Zhao Jiu was convinced of the quality and execution ability of the bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty.
Great doubts arose.
Therefore, after talking about these false things, Zhao Guanjia stopped.
"Where is Guanxi?" Another topic was clicked, and this time without Lu Haowen's guidance, Zhao Jiu looked directly at Yu Wenxuzhong.
"Because Shaanzhou was restored, and Han Taiwei came to Xijing to confront Wanyan Gushen, and because Yelu Yu saw it, and because of the passage of Wuguan and Yangzhou (eastern Hanzhong), I already had a rough idea of the situation in Guanxi." Yu Wen
Xu Zhong hurriedly faced each other. "As for Guanxi, the enemy chieftain Wanyan Lou's family broke through Chang'an and continued westward to sweep the Wei River. However, they were exhausted in Gongzhou (today's Longxi), so they withdrew their troops to the east of Hedong..."
"It's not about exhaustion," Zhao Jiu sighed after hearing this. "It's still Li Yanxian. If Li Yanxian hadn't conquered Shaanxi at this time, how could Wanyan Lou's family have withdrawn to Hedong in one breath? In terms of military achievements in saving the time, Li Yanxian's own strength is not weak.
The 100,000 people left behind by Yu Zong are not weaker than the combined efforts of the four generals Han Zhang in Huaishang and Yue Zhang in Jeju... No wonder he loses his temper... When he is appointed as the governor of Shaanzhou, he will receive an additional first-level military merit."
"Yes." Yu Wenxuzhong raised his hand in response, but continued to introduce.
And Zhao Guan's family also heard about it... It turned out that after Wanyan Lou's room raided the Guanzhong Plain and evacuated, the place was in a mess. Everywhere was in the same situation as before in the west of Beijing. The rebels and bandits couldn't be distinguished at all, and they almost divided the entire area.
Guanzhong Plain. The good news is that due to the rapid retreat, most of the remaining forces of the Western Army have been preserved in the mountainous parts of the Guanxi Road. Moreover, among them are the Yanan Road Manager and the Prince Shu of Yan'an Prefecture, Huanqing
High-ranking officials and generals such as Xigong, the envoy of Lujingluo, and Wang Xie, the observation envoy of Wenzhou, survived.
As for the generals at the command level, those who are currently confirmed to be alive and still have troops include Qu Duan, Xin Qizong (the second eldest son of the Xin family), Liu Xi, Zhao Zhe, Liu Xiliang, seven or eight of them...but they are all scattered everywhere. , it’s just information about activities.
"Excuse me," Yu Wenxuzhong said sternly. "The Guanzhong Plain is still out of control, and we are beyond our reach. Unless we wait for the various ministries to recover Fengxiang and Chang'an, there will be no way to gather together. But once Chang'an is recovered, we should immediately send officials to Shaanxi appease."
Zhao Jiuqing knew that this matter was really helpless, so he could only encourage Yu Wenxuzhong and get over it.
Next is the issue of the Yuanyou Party members that Xu Jingheng is responsible for... This matter involves too many people and people, and you don't have to know that the "unsatisfactory" aspects are nothing more than a matter of the official's political posture and the general political cognition of the bureaucrats. There was a conflict.
However, just when Xianggong Xu was about to remonstrate with Zhao Guan's family, Zhao Guan's family suddenly ignored the matter and just exchanged some information with Xu Jingheng about the earth's end, and then discussed it with everyone and summoned those talents to the palace a few days later. When it came to the palace examination, the sun was already setting in the west... Then Zhao Guan's family no longer hesitated and directly excused the ministers to leave due to time issues. Then they called for Academician Xiao Lin to follow, and then they went to the harem themselves.
It is a common practice for Hanlin bachelors to be on duty in the palace, so even though the new bachelors were a little jealous, they had nothing to say, especially since the profound scholar Lin had just made great achievements. .
However, just as all the ministers respectfully sent the officials off, exchanged greetings with each other, and after tossing for a while, were preparing to go home, suddenly, Academician Xiao Lin came back accompanied by Yang Yizhong and Liu Yan. .
"Four gentlemen, please stay." Academician Xiao Lin called to several of them from a distance.
When Lu Hao asked several people to hear this, their hearts tightened, and when they turned around, their scalps became numb... It turned out that Bachelor Xiao Lin actually held four pieces of paper with wet ink in his hands. At the same time, the people around him started to feel nervous. From Zhang Jun on down, everyone was startled after seeing the situation clearly, but they all quickened their pace and left the palace one after another.
I can only say that this official's method of forcing people to do things is really frightening... Of course, there must be some people who are eager to enjoy this kind of paper treatment.
But no matter what happened, the four of them had already walked back helplessly, and Xianggong Lu was determined to uncover the notes in Lin Jingmo's hands.
But Academician Xiao Lin smiled slightly, but spoke first: "The officials have spoken first. These are small matters and are not for the princes to do. After the princes have discussed it, they can just leave it to others to deal with quickly."
This just meant that the four people gave the four notes legitimacy. Lu Haowen's heart moved, but he acted calmly.
When the first piece of paper was uncovered, the words "Gunpowder Factory" were clearly written on it.
Before the confused Princess Lu could ask, Lin Jingmo simply explained: "The officials have said that a gunpowder workshop will be set up in Nanyang. It is just a gunpowder workshop, independent of the Ordnance Supervision. There is no need to discuss it further. It has been established near Nanyang, so we must do it as soon as possible."
Lu Haowen nodded slightly, and felt that the matter was indeed simple. It was so simple that he wanted to hold the piece of paper and do it himself. However, in full view of everyone, the official had another oral instruction, so he had no choice but to turn around and ask. Wang Boyan related to this matter:
"Who does Mr. Wang think it should be handed over to?"
Wang Boyan thought for a moment, and when he caught a glimpse of the person following Academician Xiao Lin, he simply responded: "It's a matter of military aircraft. How about letting the imperial squad do it directly, Commander Yang?"
Yang Yizhong's face remained as usual, and he stepped forward to face each other. Lu Haowen asked himself that he was confused, so he immediately handed the note to Yang Yizhong, who was resting in peace, and then went to uncover the second piece of paper.
When the second piece of paper was opened, it contained the words 'Hu Hongxiu'.
Prime Minister Lu didn't know who Hu Hongxiu was, but Lin Jingmo immediately said: "The officials have said that this is the person who recently proposed the military strategy. He is probably one of the two Xin Tong soldiers. Please find this person, preferably in a few days."
We go to the palace together and take the examination together."
Lu Haowen suddenly realized, and felt that the matter was not worth mentioning. He even wanted to hand it over to Liu Yan directly. But after all, the matter involved the army, but it was difficult to prevent Yu Wen Xuzhong from changing hands, but Yu Wen Xuzhong simply
, he just picked it up casually and handed it to Liu Yan without any hesitation.
Probably because the first two things were too simple, Xianggong Lu had already revealed the third note on his own.
And sure enough, the thing on the third note was not worth mentioning. It was even expected, but it contained the words "Wang Shuzhan"... It didn't take Bachelor Xiaolin to explain that the officials were going to make something happen yesterday.
Wang Shuzhan, who is waiting for something, is so good-looking!
However, Mr. Lu has always been kind to others. Even if Wang Shuzhan himself guessed that he was going to be in trouble, he did not want to take over the matter. Moreover, considering that Mr. Xu Jingheng and Mr. Xu had scolded Wang Taichang in public yesterday and were firm on this matter, then Mr. Lu
The question naturally turned to Xu Jingheng.
Of course, Xianggong Xu didn't take it seriously. He just glanced at it and simply nodded to someone: "Hu Yin, the imperial censor in the palace, originally intended to impeach Wang Shuzhan, but because of the selection of talents tomorrow, he just tolerated it. Give it to him and let him discuss it.
Come out and report your sin!"
Lu Haowen felt a little hesitant when he bypassed the censor Zhongcheng Zhang Jun and directly named Hu Yin. But since Xu Jingheng had already spoken, he couldn't say much. He could only call a chamberlain and ask him to hand over the note to him who had just left the palace.
Hu Yin.
This matter was also revealed.
Perhaps it was the simplicity of the first three things that greatly increased Xianggong Lu's confidence. He took the fourth piece of paper directly, opened it in his hand, and found the word "city defense".
"The officials have said that Nanyang has been expanded in a hurry and the city defense is unstable. It is afraid that it will not be enough to cope with the war." Lin Jingmo responded seriously. "The officials want to rebuild the city defense."
Lu Haowen sighed, why didn't he understand...these notes were given by the government to a few close ministers, so he blurted out without hesitation: "Let Yan Xiaozhong do it, I'll go out
Find him to do it yourself.”
Academician Xiao Lin didn't take it seriously and didn't comment. He just nodded slightly and retreated directly.
In this way, on this day, Zhao Guan's family threw the pot away and went to enjoy themselves.
However, late that night, the Zhao Guan family was awakened from the gentle village and learned a huge news - just a few days ago, Li Yanxian took advantage of the victorious pursuit after conquering Shaanzhou, crossed the Yellow River, occupied Zhongtiao Mountain, and sent troops to attack north
, successively conquered Anyi and Xie County, and when he heard that he was happy, almost the entire territory of Jiezhou was restored by him! And since Jiezhou was restored, the road to Taihang Mountain was also opened!
Zhao Jiu was dumbfounded, and then ecstatic...the internal fighting in the palace, the alchemist, the assembly line gunpowder factory, and the rehabilitation of the Yuanyou Party members, are all bullshit?
Where did this Li Yanxian come from? Why haven’t I heard of it?!
And just when Zhao Guan's family returned to bed, almost too excited to fall asleep, suddenly, another urgent military message arrived - Han Shizhong defeated Xijing.
Zhao Guan's family really couldn't sleep this time.
ps: I was wrong, I reviewed Beitang all night... without stopping for one breath.
