Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, in the afternoon, Guo Song just returned to the official room after lunch, and was blocked by Zhang Qiu'an, who joined the army, and there was also an order from the Ordnance Department subordinate to Tiance Mansion.

"What, you two aren't going to let me take a nap?" Guo Song asked with a feigned dissatisfaction.

Ansha didn't dare to say anything, Zhang Qiu'an said: "Your Highness, let's ask, I heard that all the timber shipped back to the ship department is true?" ”

"It's an officer from the Shipping Department who went to you to pick up the timber, right?" Guo Song asked lightly.

Ansha blushed and nodded.

"This rumor is half true, half false, to be precise, the first batch of timber was given to the Ship Department, and then the second batch of timber was sent to the Ordnance Department."

Zhang Qiu'an was stunned, there was actually a second batch of wood, why didn't he know?

"Your Highness, do you have any more timber to ship?"

"I plan to exchange the last batch of prisoners of war for timber for the return of the Armoury Department, they have a lot of big pine trees, let them send a batch, at least a few thousand, and give them all to the Ordnance Department."

Zhang Qiu'an and Ansha looked at each other, and the rumors that had been making trouble for a long time were true, and His Royal Highness really wanted to give all this batch of high-quality timber to the Shipping Department.

Ansha was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, we also need old material!" Half to them, half for us, okay? ”

"What do you want this old stuff for?"

"We need good wood to build large siege engines and city defense weapons, and this kind of century-old timber is too rare, at least leave some of it for us."

Guo Song glared at him, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Wood is just a support for trebuchets and stone cannons, what wood can't be used?" This kind of old material is different for shipbuilding, do you understand? For people, this wood is the key material. ”

"We need to make battering rams too!"

Jin Sha muttered quietly, "The material is also important. ”

"You have iron fire and thunder, what more battering rams do you need?" Guo Song was really annoyed.

Zhang Qiu'an hurriedly gave Ansha a look and asked him to stop talking, Ansha had to lower his head and look depressed.

Guo Song calmed himself down, and said: "I know, because this batch of timber is used as a trophy of military products, so it should be given to the military, and the Shipping Department belongs to government affairs, and all the trophies of the military are taken away by government deployment, which is unpleasant, and each ministry has its own interests, as long as this interest is not self-interest, as an order, it is understandable to safeguard the interests of its own ministry."

But as the king of Jin, I must coordinate the overall situation and use the materials where they are most needed, so if you have an opinion about me, I don't blame you, but you must obey my orders. ”

"I understand that I will obey His Highness's orders."

Guo Song appeased Jinsha again: "You are patient and wait for the second batch of wood, but I hope you can take the initiative to give up the old materials, so that I have a reason to commend you, understand?" ”

Jin Sha suddenly understood that His Royal Highness wanted to compensate himself with commendation, and the dissatisfaction in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he immediately said: "I understand my humble duties, and I will immediately arrange for the transportation of timber to the Shipping Department when I go back." ”

"Go ahead! Zhang joined the army and waited for a while. ”

Jin Sha bowed and hurriedly left, Guo Song glared at Zhang Qiu An in annoyance, "What do you say?" ”

Zhang Qiu'an's old face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed and said: "He asked to come to the door, but it was difficult to refuse." ”

"What do you mean by not refusing, I don't believe you can be so narrow-minded? If you have to make it clear according to military affairs and government affairs, isn't the iron fire mine used in the mine? Similarly, although this batch of timber is given to the Shipping Department, they are all used to build warships, and they are not the same for the military? You should take more care of them! ”

"Your Highness has taught the right lesson, and you know your mistakes in your humble duties."

Guo Song said: "Tomorrow you go to inspect the shipyard, they have built the first 3,000-stone warship, you have to show sincerity to reward them, each of them will be rewarded with an old sheepskin, and the craftsmen who participate in the shipbuilding will be rewarded with an additional sheep." ”

"Humble duty understood."

Guo Song walked to the map in front of the east, brushed the ground and opened the curtain, revealing a map of the Central Plains and Jianghuai, he said to Zhang Qiu'an: "We will inevitably attack Hebei, the Central Plains and Jianghuai in the future, especially Jianghuai, there are two major water systems of Huai River and Yangtze River, if there is no strong naval army, we will not be able to conquer there at all, why can't the imperial court repeatedly exterminate Li Xilie before, and Zhu Zhu can't kill Li Xilie, isn't it because Li Xilie has hundreds of warships and firmly controls the rivers and lakes?" ”

After speaking, Guo Song put down the wooden pole, looked at Zhang Qiu'an and said: "This is the fundamental reason why I want to build a warship, and we will also need it to attack Lingnan in the future." ”

Zhang Qiu'an nodded silently, he can be the first civilian senior official in the army, of course, he has his advantages, he understands that what Guo Song said to himself at this time has nothing to do with the timber incident, he told himself his long-term goal, is to hope that he cooperates, it is not enough to have a warship, there must also be a qualified sailor, this is his own thing.

He pondered for a moment and said: "When I was sorting out the materials, I found that many of the 650,000 displaced people had escaped from Jianghuai, escaping the tyranny of Li Xilie, first to the Central Plains, and then to Guanzhong. ”

Guo Song nodded happily, hearing the strings, Zhang Qiu'an understood his thoughts too well.

"You go and discuss this matter with Pan Liao, and start implementing it as soon as possible."

"The lowly job understands, and tomorrow the lowly job will simply drag Pan Liao to see the ship."

Guo Song smiled, "Good way!" ”

Zhang Qiu'an retreated, Guo Song was also sleepy, he took a few copies of Wang Mu sent by Guannei Dao, and seriously approved it.

The state capitals under the rule of the Jin Dynasty are still nominally the local government of the Tang Dynasty, but they are only nominally subordinate, they are actually subordinate to the Jin Palace, up to the appointment of the assassin history, down to the arrangement of county officials, so that tax collection, road and bridge construction, school building, persuasion of education and agriculture, etc., are all under the jurisdiction of the Jin Palace.

However, the state government has to write two documents, one is the annual report, which is for the imperial court, and then the usual important things are folded, and the annual summary is given to the Jin Palace.

At this time, a pro-soldier came panting and said, "Your Highness, go back quickly, the little lady is about to give birth." ”

The little lady is Zhang Minqiu, her fetal gas has been a little unstable during these two periods, and she has been recuperating in Jinyang Palace to protect the fetus.

Guo Song was shocked, now that Minqiu is only eight months old, she is about to give birth? That's premature birth!

Guo Song couldn't sit still, so he immediately got up and rushed back to the inner palace.

Guo Song hurried to the inner palace, just entered the Yuqiong Pavilion, but faintly heard the baby's cry, at this time, Guo Weiwei jumped up and ran over, and said with a smile: "Daddy, I have another little brother." ”

"Ahh Have you seen it? ”

"Of course I did, my mother said he looked like me."

Guo Song was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Weiwei, take Daddy to take a look." ”

"Daddy come with me!"

Guo Weiwei walked upstairs with her father, and the baby's cry was getting closer and closer. In a room on the left side of the second floor, I saw a large family gathered together, even his son Guo Jincheng.

Dugu Youlan was holding a swaddling baby in her arms, and was laughing with others, Zhang Minqiu was lying on the bed, in good spirits, but her face was a little pale.

Xue Tao sat next to Zhang Minqiu, and when he saw Xiaowei coming in with her husband, he smiled and said, "The main lord is here, Youlan, why don't you hurry up and show the child to your father." ”

Dugu Youlan handed the swaddling clothes to Guo Song, Guo Song hurriedly and carefully took it, the child was very small and light, like a thin kitten, but the cry was very loud, and the eyebrows and eyes were really like Xiaowei.

"He's hungry!"

After all, Guo Song has three children, so he understands a little bit.

Zhang Minqiu said: "Several midwives said that it is good for him to let the child cry. ”

"Nonsense! Hurry up and feed. ”

Guo Song handed the child to Zhang Minqiu, Zhang Minqiu lifted his clothes, let the child suck **, and suddenly quieted down.

Xue Tao gave her husband a look, and Guo Song followed her out.

Guo Song glanced back and said, "Minqiu wants to be confined, she should find a nurse to help!" ”

"That's the problem."

Xue Tao lowered his voice and said: "Wang Zhihe said that the child was born more than a month prematurely, and it was a bit congenital, and it must be carefully fed by the mother, otherwise it is easy to ......"

Xue Tao didn't continue, Guo Song understood the word she didn't say, 'Die young!' ’

"You can arrange it!"

Guo Song held his wife's hand and said apologetically: "I can only ask you!" ”

Xue Tao knew that her husband had no brothers, the heirs were thin, and she valued the children very much, she nodded, "I will do my best, don't worry about the husband." ”

"If you need any precious medicinal herbs or something, tell me, I'll get it!"

"Wang Zhi and the imperial doctor prescribed a big tonic prescription, which was made up for Minqiu, and then supplemented the child through her, this is the best way, the medicinal herbs are available in the palace, and there is.... It is best for the husband to accumulate blessings for the child. ”

Guo Song pondered for a moment and said, "I know, I will announce an amnesty tomorrow!" ”
