Chapter 347 is imperceptible

Su You then continued: "The so-called barren land is actually promising. Along the Jing River, the Tang Dynasty was a place of ointment. Its southern Shangzhou, rich in mineral deposits, and Yan'an Prefecture also produces oil, if done well, it is enough to become a logistics base to support the front line. ”

"The verdict, the boring machine of the case, how is it going?"

Gao Shilin said: "Brother, the boring machine is not a big problem, the main reason is that the cutter head is not strong and the loss is large. It is very convenient to process copper pipes, but to meet your requirements, boring out manganese steel pipes is extremely inefficient. ”

Su You sighed: "It's better than nothing, then you have to continue to think of a way."

Su You suddenly thought of something, and gave his hand to Zhao Ji: "Lord Wang, can you let Gao Case Judge leave Beijing for a trip?" Went to Shangzhou for two years? ”

Zhao Ji said: "Zhishang Prefecture? ”

Su You nodded: "Yes, let the case be judged in the case of Daxing in Shangzhou, build weapons, armor shields, bows and crossbows, and ensure the supply of border troops." Then I was in the Jingwei River valley to ensure grain and grass. ”

"While preparing grain, grass and military weapons, he investigated the geography, built walled forts on various transportation arteries, and guarded the fork roads, adding trouble to the Western Xia people's march."

"For important roads, modify the road conditions, use four-wheeled carriages to transport, try to improve the reaction speed of the troops in the defense area, and eliminate the gap with the Western Xia cavalry."

"As far as we can, we will assist the regular armies of all walks of life and improve their combat effectiveness."

"Recruit and arm a group of barbarians as guerrilla forces, harass the grain routes in the rear of the Tanguts, and create difficulties for their supplies."

"Lord Wang, now that the Xia people are domineering, and our soldiers are unusable, we will be incompetent, and the national wealth is scarce, which is the most difficult period of passive defense."

Su You then took the pen and drew a curve on the drawing board in the study.

"We must have a clear understanding of the national situation. Mathematically described, it is such a parabola that opens upward, and now the Great Song Dynasty is still in a downward period, probably in this position. Therefore, foreign policy can only be based on defense. ”

"One trades off the other. When the enemy's strength was exhausted, the Great Song Dynasty eased its strength, and at the lowest point of the curve, it turned to strategic stalemate. ”

After speaking, he drew a large circle on the right side of the parabola with a pen and circled the line: "When the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is reinvigorated, the sergeants have to be trained, and the generals have been tempered from the blood and fire, it is the time for this line to rise up again, and the stage of counteroffensive must start from that time." Lord Wang, this is the normal law of the development of events, and you must not be in a hurry. ”

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the left side of the parabola, and his face was worried.

Su You threw the pen onto the drawing board and said with a smile: "But although the process is like this, many things must be done hard to promote the process." ”

"In fact, there is no need to be greedy for perfection, and you can change it in one fell swoop. We should start with small improvements in some systems, or small areas, improve step by step, set an example step by step, create an impact, expand the scope, and strive for the early time for reversal. ”

Su Song looked at Su You talking eloquently, his face expressionless. Han Wei saw Su You for the first time, and couldn't help but be surprised by his meticulous thinking.

Su You continued: "Therefore, my suggestions: First, renovate the Jinniu Road and Meridian Road, improve transportation, and use the financial and material resources of Shuzhong to support the northwest in the early stage. ”

"Second, develop state mineral deposits, build metallurgical workshops, improve the level of metal processing, and establish chemical bases."

"Third, Tuntianjing Weihe Valley, this year to plant pasture, and cultivate high-quality cattle, sheep, war horses; Supplemented by wheat, we will meet the needs of the border army and strive for self-sufficiency. ”

"Fourth, take Weizhou as a pilot to implement the separation of military and political affairs. The supply of the army is under the control of the local government, and the supply standard and distribution system are explored, including wartime military supplies, and prepared. ”

"Fifth, soldiers only focus on military affairs and strive to improve military skills. Generals need to understand the grand strategy of the country. All actions, follow the command. Refine the rules and regulations, and strictly enforce military law. ”

"Sixth, improve the construction of walled forts and transportation, so that the enemy can know when he is coming, and the enemy can attack and defend; There is a police on one side, and the four sides echo. ”

"Seven, soothe the familiar man, and make it our eyes and barriers, not our troubles."

"Eighth, the Privy Council has set up a general staff to give the veterans of the border army a channel for promotion, and also to enable the Privy Council to have ministers who are accustomed to war, so as to support whether the strategy is correct and appropriate, and avoid major mistakes in decision-making."

"This article is especially important, if the privy council does not adopt it, I suggest that the royal independent operation is also fine, starting with the establishment of the military staff office, so as to avoid the situation of laymen commanding insiders!"

"Ninth, it is clear that politics, military affairs, and economics are components of the country's strength and are indispensable. Correspondingly, the Chinese secretary, the privy council, and the three divisions must communicate effectively and in a timely manner, and major events must be jointly decided by a joint meeting. ”

"The joint meeting can be presided over by the royal family, Lord Wang, I think you are the best candidate!"

"Military issues are actually an extension of political issues, and political issues are often extensions of economic issues."

"The climate of Western Xia is harmonious, and when the New Year is full, it is generally the time when my border is peaceful. In the event of droughts and floods, white plagues, and changes in the political situation, they often have to raid the border to supplement their national needs. ”

Zhao Ji was surprised: "Economic problems? I thought you were going to say you were not skilled. By improving efficiency with science and technology, all problems can be solved. ”

Su You said with a smile: "Polytechnic can indeed improve efficiency. As long as the equipment is effective, one person can be used as five people. But Lord Wang, this will lead to an economic problem, that is, it will leave the other four people with nothing to do and lose their livelihood. ”

Zhao Ji was shocked and shocked: "Oops! Oops! ”

Su You was surprised: "Why did the prince say this? ”

Gao Shilin said: "Mingrun, the prince suggested to the official family that the ten articles you suggested should be implemented in the case, and the machinery should be used to fine weights and measures. ”

Zhao Ji said: "Exactly, Xiaomei has improved the level of the craftsmen in the case a lot in the past two years, and the application of science and engineering has been well reflected in the case, but I only consider the improvement of efficiency, but I do not take into account the livelihood of redundant personnel." ”

Su You smiled: "That's great, then let the case be taken to Shangzhou this time!" ”

Zhao Ji considered another question: "Mingrun, if one day ...... I mean, what if...... My Great Song Dynasty is full of places, and I can't accommodate more people, what should I do then? ”

Su You's whip pointed at Western Xia and Da Liao: "That can't be helped, when the time comes, the Great Song Dynasty can only forge ahead and seek living space for its own people." ”

After speaking, he bowed his hand to Zhao Ji: "But the prince, the school of science and engineering, everything is based on statistical data, and at that point in time, maybe thirty years later, maybe fifty years later, or hundreds of years later, it is not subject to people's wishes and expectations." ”

Zhao Ji was disappointed: "It takes so long? ”

Su You said: "Lord Wang, I have lost too many times in the Great Song Dynasty, don't you still learn a lesson?" ”

Han Wei immediately interjected: "Lord Wang, what Ming Run said is extremely true, what the Great Song Dynasty has to consider now is to be undefeated, not to win." ”

Zhao Ji pursed his lips: "Okay! By the way, the last time the attendants entered with bow-like shoes, Zhiguo admonished me and said, 'Wang An uses dancing shoes? 'Shame on me, and immediately my shoes were destroyed.' Mingrun, this is contrary to the progress you advocate. ”

Bow shoes are shoes that divide the left and right feet. Su You smiled and said, "If you want me to say, what you say when you join the army is not bad." ”

Zhao Ji began to pout again: "Isn't your science and technology the most efficient and convenient for people?" How do you say one thing and do another? ”

Su You said with a smile: "As I just said, improvement, start from a small place, it is best to moisten things silently, and not shock the world." ”

"Bow shoes, heels and feet, the feet are convenient and comfortable, and the most suitable people are dancers, couriers, and sergeants."

"But comfort is desirable, but not even the style should be copied, if it attracts opposition, it will lose the original meaning of polytechnic."

"You are the prince, wearing your own body and dancer's shoes, you really don't look good."

"Little sister, the prince and I are about the same size, go get a new pair of boots."

Su Xiaomei went to get a new pair of boots, and Su You handed the boots to Zhao Ji: "Look, Lord Wang, these boots are also divided into left and right, but they only work on the soles, just like the pair I wear on my feet." ”

"Except for the soles, the rest are according to the system, this is what I call a small improvement, not shocking the world."

"The prince is right, the purpose of science and technology is to put it into practice. But for this to happen, it doesn't mean you have to abandon tradition. ”

"Minimizing opposition and using it is the essence of Polytechnic. Technology can only solve part of the problem, not all of it. If you ask to join the army again, will he still object to you wearing these boots? ”

Seeing Han Wei smiling and nodding to him, Zhao Wei agreed with Su You's point of view, and was honestly polite, put on his new boots, stood up and took two steps: "Yes, it's really comfortable." ”

Su You said: "But its essence is still official boots, not dancing shoes, right?" ”

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Those idiots in the Shangyi Bureau don't know how to be flexible. ”
