Chapter 739: Mischief

"Later, I lifted the Jin Mingchi banquet with him, Su Tanhua accompanied him and Yushi, and won the lottery, yes, His Majesty was also there that time."

Zhao Ji remembered: "Yes, that time Su Mingrun resigned from Emperor Renzong's royal gift, counting the goldfish bag, it was the second time." ”

Li Shunju said: "So with Su Mingrun's temperament, there is a possibility of stealing his name?" And in terms of time, Su Mingrun's words seem to have come out before that Shizi's song, right? ”

"The two small words are private letters he wrote to the Junjun, if it weren't for the fact that the Junjun's literary talent was a little weaker, and he looked at Princess Weiguo, Tanhualang's name wouldn't even be able to spread to the public."

"If you really want to be famous, just the song "He Bridegroom", the level is enough, 'Who can be diligent and thin with jade.'" With such good sentences in front, is it necessary for Su Tanhua to draw snakes? ”

Zhao Ji thought about it, and it was really the truth.

Li Shunju, as a eunuch who can write articles, is still quite high, and continued to analyze: "And that scholar didn't say that his song was stolen by Su Mingrun, he just said that he asked Kaifeng Mansion to return his own reputation." It was spread by someone with a heart, and then the people believed it to be true. ”

Zhao Ji asked, "I heard that the scholar is still the door of the military arsenal, and his appearance is ugly?" Now that he doesn't even have a place to stay in Beijing, the landlord is unwilling to rent to him anymore and evicts him? ”

"Uh......" Li Shunju was stunned for a moment: "This old minister really doesn't know." ”

What are you kidding, gossip is gossip, but the minister is Your Majesty, your entry into the inner service province guard, the consul and provincial eunuch who is not over fifty years old and cannot be banned, a small armory watchdog, I will kill him!

Zhao Ji secretly laughed: "You said that if you distribute this person to Su Mingrun to cook, how about it?" ”

Li Shunju was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again: "Your Majesty can't help it, how can a prison weapon warehouse door be listened to Mu Tian'en?" It's going to be shocking! ”

Zhao Ji said with a smile: "Zeng Bu and Lu Jia asked, the two of them fought in the middle of the court and went to Liangzhejiang Road, which was simply a matter of selling their lives." ”

"I don't know what medicine Su Mingrun gave them, Lu Jia asked about the March of Ren, almost all of them didn't fall into office, and they ran around under the scorching sun on the Taihu Lake construction site all day long; Zeng Bu was even more exaggerated, directly doubling the output of several copper supervisors and doubling the money! Both of them turned out to be godretains! ”

"I really look forward to what people like Zheng Xia and He Zhu will become when they arrive in Zhejiang......"

Li Shunju smiled: "It's true, but you don't need to be so lifted." Isn't it the Armory Warden? Let Zhang Jixiang casually find a famous magistrate to make an appointment, and send him over there to continue to watch the door. ”

Zhao Ji was looking forward to his prank: "Then you hurry up and tell Zhang, and by the way, let Shen Kuo come to see me." ”

Shen Kuo is discussing with Lu Huiqing about the registration of Kaifeng Mansion vehicles, which is Zhao Ji's will.

There are a lot of carriages and horses in Kaifeng Mansion today, all of which are caused by Suyou's satellite city and Wang Anshi's horse protection law.

Wang Anshi launched the horse protection law, Su You believes that let the people pay no income, the horse can only be raised more and more blind, and the horse must be turned into a production tool, so that the people can be motivated.

So vigorously develop carriages and horses, and sure enough, the implementation of the horse protection law is different in Kaifeng and other places.

But this is also relying on the economic development of Kaifeng Prefecture and the rigid needs of satellite cities, and the rest of the places are made miserable by the Baoma Law.

Everyone didn't know what Zhao Ji's purpose was, and the people were disturbed and frightened.

Shen Kuo rushed to the palace: "Your Majesty, are you summoned as a minister?" ”

Zhao Ji asked, "What does it matter to know the car?" ”

Shen Kuo nodded: "The minister just learned about it and is discussing this matter with the political participants." ”

Zhao said: "What do you think of the method of vehicle registration? ”

Shen Kuo asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty registered the vehicle for?" ”

Zhao Ji said: "I heard that the north won by horses, I thought about it, and it was difficult to resist without a chariot. ”

Shen Kuo secretly rolled his eyes in his heart: "Your Majesty, chariots have existed in all dynasties, and Wuchen taught Wu Zi to fight with chariots and dominate China; Li Jing made partial box antlers to make birds profitable. ”

"But Your Majesty has to take into account one thing, the so-called military chariot of the ancients is a light chariot, and five samurai twist and turn on it, which is conducive to convenience."

"And now the folk use of the cart, the big spine simple, with oxen to pull it, used to pull goods. The day is not thirty miles, and if there is a little rain and snow, it will be even slower. Therefore, this kind of car is called a Taiping car, although it can pull thousands of pounds of goods, but it can never be used in combat. ”

"Nowadays, there is a kind of one-horse or two-horse light car, which is made by Su Mingrun, which is quite convenient. Horse owners can only keep one or two horses, so this kind of car is considered to be a suitable condition. ”

"It's comfortable to ride, but it's light and thin, and it's impossible to resist spears, even bows and arrows."

"Therefore, it is difficult for civilian vehicles to be used in the military, so they can only be designed and built separately."

Zhao Ji asked, "How much does a chariot cost?" ”

Shen Kuo said: "Let's not talk about the envelope, if you want to use a new type of chassis wheel, it will definitely need to be thickened and reinforced to deal with the cruel battlefield." ”

"Therefore, the cost should be about 80 times, if you want to set up an effective defense against bows, arrows, spears and spears, cover the skin, partially reinforced with iron shields, install offensive iron cones, etc., the minister estimates...... It has to be in one hundred and fifty. ”

"Such a chariot has to be pulled by at least four horses, plus a horse thirty times, a horse thirty times, a mounted chariot, the total price should be about four hundred."

Zhao Ji felt a little sore when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's too expensive." ”

Shen Kuo arched his hand and said: "But Your Majesty's idea is very good, now that we have ambush cannons and thunderbolt cannons, let the Shenji battalion lead the light cavalry, and at the same time equip it with artillery vehicles that can move quickly with the cavalry, of course, it is like a tiger with wings." ”

So Zhao Ji felt that he could float again: "It seems that my idea is still useful?" ”

Shen Kuo nodded: "Your Majesty is wise." There is also the matter of registering a vehicle, which is actually quite good. ”

"Now there are more vehicles in Kaifeng Mansion, and before Su Mingrun left Que, although the roadbed was renovated, the road had not yet been completed."

"The damage to the road is mainly caused by the crushing of the vehicle. Therefore, before I came, I discussed with the political participants, whether to register the vehicles entering and leaving Kaifeng Prefecture, and collect the corresponding road maintenance fees according to the vehicle load level for road construction? ”

Zhao Ji hesitated: "Collect money again?" ”

Shen Kuo said: "This is also a helpless move, the road is repaired, and the vehicle can make more money, right?" There is also a striking sign nailed to the vehicle, and it is easy to find the person responsible in case of an incident such as injury. ”

Zhao Ji was very happy: "The ministers said, no one can talk about this, it's very good." Then let's go down to the middle book to discuss, the matter of the gun truck, let the ordnance supervisor approve the project. ”

Shen Kuo arched his hand: "Minister, obey the order." ”

Zhao Ji asked again: "Now there is still a discussion in the court, that is, the salt industry in Shuzhong is prosperous, but the court has not received much real profit. Some ministers proposed that all private wells in Shuzhong should be closed and the salt of the Jiechi officials should be used to supply Shuzhong, so that the imperial court can obtain greater benefits, what do you think? ”

Shen Kuo shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister who made this suggestion must be a pedantic person. ”

Zhao Ji asked, "Why?" ”

Shen Kuo said: "Shuzhong salt is now the connecting link between Shaanxi, Minzhou, Zhou, and Dali, and plays a decisive role in the stability and prosperity of the southwest. ”

"What's more, the private well in Shuzhong itself has paid the purchase fee, and the imperial court is not without profits."

"In addition, due to the flow of goods brought about by the circulation of Shu salt, the imperial court also collected two taxes."

"Not to mention anything else, Shuzhong's current commercial tax is half beneficial to the world. Compared with 20 years ago, when the salt households fled and the economy withered, the tax payment increased 20 times in 20 years, which can be described as an economic boom. So how can it be said that the private well of Shu salt makes the imperial court unprofitable? ”

"Since the private wells have agreed to sell, how can the private trade be eliminated? All the private wells will be plugged, transported and supplied to relieve salt, and once the official sales will be released, it will be able to save a lot of management troubles and get some economic benefits. But when compared with the new troubles and lost benefits, can the benefits really outweigh the disadvantages? ”

"Some time ago, Shu tea had a period of official discussion, what was the effect? Wang Shao's use of tea in the Fan people decreased day by day, causing the Fan people to fall back to Muzheng, and finally triggered the recurrence of the river Huang, how could he not learn a lesson? ”
