Chapter Eighty-Four: Capable People

The news of the businessman was very fast, and three days later, Cheng Wenying looked at the letters from several parties, and said with a smile: "No wonder this is the case, there are capable people in Yizhou Mansion." ”

Banniang was curious: "Who?" ”

Cheng Wenying smiled and said, "Zhang Andao, Zhang Fangping." ”

Su You was very happy, he had been beaten by Su Shi for so long, and now the person who could overpower him finally came, and he couldn't help laughing: "I heard that he is a prodigy." ”

Shi Dongxiu smiled: "It's just a prodigy, am I still missing Meishan?" ”

Cheng Wenying waved his hand and said: "Don't say that, this is really not ordinary, the young man is extremely smart, and his poor family can't afford to buy books, so he borrows them from others." Sanshi, it only took ten days to return it, and the master asked him why, and he said that he had read it all. ”

Su Shi was writing next to him, and he couldn't help muttering: "How is it possible, it's a ...... again."

Cheng Wenying smiled and said: "Zizhan, don't be dissatisfied, Minister Zhang will make Liao come back, let him know the edict, and know Kaifeng Mansion on his behalf." The trivial matters in the house are complicated, and his predecessors always use a bookboard to record, but he only needs to memorize, and he has never made a mistake. His memory is really not a legend. ”

After speaking, he sighed again: "This public is still practical, the matter is very clear, Xiao You, if he sees you, he will be very happy, you are old and young, and your temperament is really similar." ”

Banniang said: "Grandpa, tell us about it." ”

This is also a traditional project of the Jiang Qing family, which evaluates the current political people in the DPRK and China.

When Da Su and Xiao Su were young, Su Xun explained the situation between the DPRK and China and the characters with them. Su Dongpo also wrote an article praising Fan Zhongyan, Su Xun liked two of them very much, and pointed out: "Keep these two sentences first, don't give them to Lao Fan, and we will use them ourselves in the future." ”

The children of the family have an advantage over the disciples of the poor family, which is also one of the reasons.

Cheng Wenying said: "Before Yuan Hao was preparing to rebel, he wrote a letter with arrogant words, wanting to force the Great Song Dynasty to break off relations with him, so as to take the opportunity to provoke the party members to support him. ”

"Zhang Gong's suggestion is to temporarily tolerate it, so that Yuan Hao has no reason to openly rebel, and then seize a year to select soldiers, build a strong army, build a city, and form an invincible trend first."

His reason is that as long as a small country uses troops and cannot distinguish between victory and defeat in three years, the country will be self-defeating. At that time, the Great Song Dynasty will take the opportunity to attack again, which is the way to win. ”

"It's a pity, at that time, the imperial court was in its heyday, and even the old man thought that Zhang Gong's advice was soft and weak, and tolerated and nurtured adultery. What everyone thinks in their hearts is that they are guilty of strong men, although they are far away, they will be punished; But they forgot the basic principle that they are invincible, and they can win when they treat the enemy, and they underestimate the enemy......"

After that, the government recruited archers from all over the country and selected their brave ones to form the two armies of Xuanyi and Baojie. Zhang Gong also repeatedly wrote against it, but it was still not adopted. ”

"As a result, the two armies were arrogant, and the troops of more than 200,000 people, like the common people, could not fight at all."

"What happened afterwards, pile by pile, is as Zhang Gong expected."

Everyone remembered the several major battles between Song and Xia at the beginning of the founding of the Western Xia, and they couldn't help but be silent.

Cheng Wenying cleaned up his feelings: "It's far away, this prince will be reappointed as the third envoy after that." Wang Gongchen and Wang Chengcheng proposed that Hebei Yanzheng be monopolized by the government and managed in a unified manner, but in fact, it was changed to a matter of affairs. Zhang Gong questioned the official family on what basis it depended, and the official family said that it was decided by the new tax law. ”

Zhang Gong argued with reason, turned out the past laws and decrees, and pointed out that during the period of Shizong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Hebei had already included salt taxes in other taxes, that is, the salt money items in the current two tax laws. If the new law is enacted, it will be double taxation. ”

The official family just came to his senses, and Zhang Gong asked the official family to make a decree to stop collecting this tax. Heshuo's fathers and villagers greeted him in the suburbs of Shanzhou, and held a seven-day Buddhist meeting to thank the emperor. ”

After speaking, he said with a smile: "Now that this prince has come to Yizhou, the matter of Yazhou salt money in the Erlin Department, everyone knows why, right?" Hehehe, the old system of my Sichuan Gorge is not good, and it seems that it will be restored in a blink of an eye. ”

Shi Dongxiu said: "Zhang Gong is very clear, and this matter is proof recently. When he migrated to Yizhou as a bachelor-in-waiting. Nong Zhigao's attempt to violate Yizhou through Nanzhao has already been heard by the imperial court. On the one hand, he rode from Shaanxi to Shu on foot. On the other hand, he urgently ordered Zhang Gong to go to his post as soon as possible and allowed him to act on camera. ”

Zhang Gong thought it must be a rumor. All the soldiers encountered along the way were repatriated, and many related losses were also stopped. And ordered Yazhou to be good at receiving people and showing them peace, so there was a matter of issuing banknotes. The second forest department is considered to be a chance meeting, and it won the first prize. ”

Cheng Wenying smiled and said: "Xiaoyou, Zizhan, what you expect is actually the same as Zhang Gong, but the benefits, this time it was all won by the governor of Meizhou." ”

Su Zhe began to think, Su Shi was a little excited, but Su You waved his hand again and again: "Uncle in-law, we are on the ground, so it can be inferred that Zhang Gong has a clear vision." People in Huazhou have already expected the situation of Yizhou, which cannot be compared. ”

Cheng Wenying said with a smile: "In any case, the transaction with the Erlin Department went smoothly this time, Xiaoyou has a great credit, that is, the money has been earned by us, Xiaoyou has not made a penny, and a lot of good wine has been posted." ”

Ah Homi was also leaving, because there were too many good things and money was not enough, so Su You signed a contract with her, 1,000 yuan to trade four products, and then according to the average transaction of 250 yuan each, give her Yongchun Dew on credit, and wait for the next transaction to settle it.

Shi Tong said angrily: "Two hundred and fifty guan wine is just a trivial matter, that knife is worth at least eight hundred!" ”

The Yi people traveled through the mountains and forests and loved to use short soldiers, so Su You combined the Boyi knife type of the later generations and the Miao family ruler and a half-sharp knife to design a two-foot-long machete.

There is also a half of the false blade on the back of the machete, which can be used to cut bones and fire.

A number of new technologies have been used for steel, such as powder smelting, multi-layer folding precision forging, soil covering oil quenching, and new heat treatment...... Although the shape is rough, the steel is definitely the best one in Shijia Iron Workshop at present.

Although Shi Tong was dissatisfied, he was actually very proud of this knife, and in his words, this was the actual combat blade used by the disciples of the sect.

The knife also takes the practical route, but it is exquisite, the handle is a mountain cherry root nodule, the pattern is colorful, the handguard is brass, the willow leaf type is S-shaped, the scabbard is stitched with multi-layer calender leather, and the edge is coated with glue paint closed seam, which has a rough beauty and exotic style.

The most classic place is that the tail of the blade is designed as a bolt, and the whole knife can be decomposed into seven parts: blade, swallow, gauntlet, handle ring, handle, tail cap and tail nail through a special taper change, and the tail nail can be removed to facilitate the replacement of different styles of knife assembly and maintenance.

The blade is sharpened with exceptional precision, so it is extremely sharp. When Ah Homi came to inspect the knife, Shi Tong prepared five bamboo tubes filled with iron sand, and passed by with a knife, without scratches, which made Ah Homi scream, only to know that what his younger brother said was to send each other with a treasure knife, it was really not nonsense.

Su You said with a smile: "That thing is a fishing bait, the maintenance of this kind of high-level knife requires a lot of equipment, and it is not something that the Second Forest Department can complete." In the future, every time it is polished, it has to be sent to the Shijia Iron Workshop. As soon as they came and went, the connection became closer. Are the graphite crucibles and stamping molds that people need? The next step is the big business. ”

Shi Dongxiu and Cheng Wenying both nodded again and again: "It's extreme, it's extreme, this is a source of wealth, and your Shi family is a spring here." But hold on. ”

Shi Tong stood up: "I'll go and prepare, I hope they will come back in half a month, and they will bring something different." ”

After everything was agreed, Cheng Wenying said to Su You: "At the end of the year, you should go back to Xiaoyou, Xiaoyou." When I go back, I will study at home and don't mess around. When spring comes, I will come to pick you up and take you into the city, and then it will be considered an official enlightenment. ”

"Remember, remember, read in peace, of course, if you have some elegant interests, you might as well do it, but agricultural savages, don't learn from Zhong Xiangong, it's better to have less contact and less contact."

What is the reason for this pretentiousness, Cheng Wenying didn't explain, and it was not easy to ask in detail in front of so many people, so he had to agree first: "Then after I go to the Land Temple to explain, I will go back to Kelongli, and I have been out for a few days, and I don't know how my uncle is doing." ”

Everyone looked at Su You with a smile, which made Su You's suspicious character rise again: "Are you hiding something from me?" ”

Cheng Wenying said with a smile: "No, no, go back and rest for a while, you can get ...... during this time."
