What Emperor Zhao Ji never imagined was that with the great talent of a ram business, the Halal Mountain mine was unlucky, and his Great Song Jiangshan was even more unlucky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After taking office, the Ram felt that he understood the mine and was generally in control of everything, and he immediately couldn't wait to start working.

He gave up the luxury and majesty of the capital to live in this broken place where rabbits don't in his heart, just to make a lot of money quickly, and to get enough early and leave early.

On how to quietly make profits from the copper produced by his most eye-eyed heart, he has not figured out a good way for a while, which requires the close cooperation of important people in all departments of the mine, not his people can do it if they want to, but Wang Nian, the general and the main manager of the mine, he is not sure of the situation for a while, and he does not dare to recklessly attack the copper production directly, otherwise he will be beheaded first, in order to teach and force the main obstacle personnel to honestly submit to obey and cooperate to make money, he first deducted from the military salary and the treatment of workers.

Anyway, the people below don't know about the state's transfer of money and grain to the mines, and how much food and military salaries are paid, and it is completely up to him to have the final say.

Of course, it can't be blatant.

The excuse is ready-made.

The treacherous merchant of Ram Wu was not so old in the well-known capital, he knew a lot, and spread the news that there were pirates wreaking havoc on the coast in the east of the imperial court. Internally, there are Tian Hu in the north and thieves such as Wang Qing in the south. Externally, there are Liao robbers in the north, and Xia thieves are rampant in the west. The southern fangs are also not safe. In recent years, the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty has become more and more depressed, smuggling is rampant, commercial taxes are not as good as a year, coupled with natural disasters and man-made disasters such as droughts, floods, earthquakes, etc., now the money and grain of the Great Song Dynasty are extremely tight, and the east wall is demolished to make up for the west wall.

In this way, it seems that the imperial court has reduced the supply of mines in desperation. It is only natural that the benefits of workers and workers in the mines should be reduced.

The ram affairs exchanged all the money and grain transferred from the palace to their own people, and directly intercepted and sold the embezzled part outside in advance before the money and grain arrived at the mine, and the garrison went to the capital to receive and escort the money and grain to the mine with less money, it seems that the imperial court's finances were too difficult to reduce the supply, and the mine should not complain about the ram business.

The problem is: it is difficult for Wang Nian to fool the Lord for a long time. And the newly transferred Wang Senjiang Hong and most of the officers of the forbidden army below were used to drinking the blood of soldiers when they were in the capital. Just like many shameless and lawless social phenomena, unhealthy tendencies have become reasonable and normal after a long period of time, and people have become numb and accustomed to it, and even officers with a conscience do not feel that there is anything wrong with drinking the blood of soldiers. It's just that in the past, in the capital, there were so many fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law on the huge forbidden army, and there were so many heads and brains in the army, all of whom were stripped of military salaries layer by layer, and there were layers of constraints, and the military salaries that could fall into the hands of these officers were too limited, and they did not dare to be too presumptuous. When he arrived at the Halal Mountain far away from the Tiangao Emperor, there were too many pickpockets and restraints on it, and the second general Wang Sen and Jiang Hong needed to win over these officers to provide support, and had to indulge them.

In order to suppress resentment and teach the soldiers to be honest, Wang Senjiang Hong himself could not let go of drinking the blood of the soldiers, and he could not control and sanction the greed of the officers because of the filial piety from below, lest no one listen to the greetings and command the army when something happened, so he tacitly colluded with the officers at all levels to try to rectify the grassroots units and the vast number of soldiers who had no oil and water to peel off.

Training and strengthening the army is the most reasonable excuse.

Every day, the officers and men were pulled out to take turns to carry out long-distance running and training with heavy loads, and the officers and men who stayed behind also had to engage in offensive and defensive drills, practice martial arts, train military formations, and strengthen swimming and other water combat skills.

There is a small river in the Halal Mountains that leads through a large part of the mountainous area to the Yellow River, which is convenient for transporting copper ingots and robbing mines, so there is a naval army, which is also convenient for the greedy officers to reorganize the naval army.

Some of Wen Chenghou's methods for quickly training a strong army have long been circulated and have been widely practiced and applied in the border army. Wang Sen, Jiang Hong and others played the banner of the famous Wen Chenghou who is highly respected and respected, and the method is effective, in order to learn from the example and serve the country for the strong army, our Halal Mountain Mine Guard Army has a great responsibility, and if there is something to pull out, we can fight, and the war will be won, how can we not do this?

Not only did he toss the soldiers in this way, but also according to the method that is said to have been adopted by Wen Chenghou, the soldiers were strictly rewarded and punished for their training performance.

Originally, the soldiers' salaries were deducted, and the quality of the meals dropped greatly, not to mention the meat, even if the oil was pitiful, but they were still full, the grain pickles were all-you-can-eat, and the vegetable soup was enough. For the vast majority of soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, the purpose of being a soldier is to eat food, and if the food is not enough, then there will really be a mutiny. Wang Sen and Jiang Hong are all veterans, and they all understand this reason, no matter how greedy they are, they dare not be so ruthless, and the so-called competition is actually splitting the group of soldiers in disguise, and there are those who can make do with good food, and there are a very small number of people who can eat so well that they can survive to death, and they rely on their personal ability to eat, and they have a comparison, and they see that they are even more miserable, and this part of the people is not very angry, and they occupy the main body, and the army will not be able to make trouble, and there are those who cannot eat, and the officers can take the opportunity to be greedy for some military salaries.

The key is that the soldiers are exhausted every day, and they don't have the energy to think about making trouble and resisting the treatment, so they have to swallow their anger, just begging the officers to let themselves go, stop practicing so hard, and don't have no food.

I can't eat well, my physique is poor, my physical strength is weak, I practice so hard, I don't practice to die, and I die in vain with a smile on my back?

Those who died in the training did not have the court pension.

The ordinary soldiers of the forbidden army in the capital are now all young and strong selected by the palace marshal Gao Yu from all over the country, not all tall and stout, but also selected strong and powerful, some can do all kinds of work for Gao Yu to make money and bribe high-ranking officials in disguise to pull relations, some are good seedlings of martial arts and soldiers, and some are good martial arts and even elite soldiers who are proficient in fighting.

From the development of the Great Song Dynasty to the present, there are strong enemies outside and strong inside, crises are lurking, and the national security situation is becoming more and more severe. The arrogant and arrogant pirates even endangered Jiangnan and even Tokyo.

All this, on the one hand, was caused by the desperate abuse of the rulers of the Great Song Dynasty themselves, and on the other hand, the sinister evil deliberately caused by the Cangzhao clique deliberately forcing the Han people to improve themselves and emigrating.

Under this grim situation, for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty to enjoy the glory and wealth for a long time, and for the sake of his own future and life, Gao Yu also had to pay attention to training the forbidden army and strengthening the defense force of the capital. In order to defend the safety of the waterways in the capital and go to sea to fight arrogant pirates in response to the emperor's will, 40,000 or 50,000 sailors were also prepared and trained in Jinmingchi in Tokyo, and the sea ships and warships were mobilized on the Xunyang River in Jiangzhou to mobilize almost the country's shipbuilding talents to be secretly and actively built, and a lot of them have been built, but they have not yet reached the scale of attacking at sea. In order to prevent the new warships and shipyards that had been built with great difficulty from being detected by pirates and wantonly looted and destroyed by pirates, the imperial court did not dare to show off the new warships at present.

This time, the pirates who chased and drove ashore to loot did not use warships. Gao Yu only brought 20,000 sailors, thinking that he would have the opportunity to train his troops and have the opportunity to annihilate some pirates and grab the battleship to prove his merits.

Although the area of Tokyo Jinmei Pond is not too small, what kind of elite sailors can be trained to withstand the wind and waves of the sea in such a calm pool?

It is pure fantasy to want to use this to compete with pirates, destroy the coastal strongholds set up by pirates on Haitan Island and other islands, and even delusionally want to cross the sea to expedition to the pirates' nests overseas.

However, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty were ignorant and fearless, and they still had illusions and great confidence, so they hated and waited for the day of the achievement of the warships, and sent the navy and the forbidden army to exterminate the pirate empire in one fell swoop.

There are so many articles to be written here, and the civil and military bureaucrats of the Great Song Dynasty are all staring at the greedy eyes, waiting for the time to reap the benefits from it. Emperor Zhao Ji was also looking forward to it.

In any case, now the 800,000 forbidden troops in the capital are finally a bit of soldiers, at least a little combat appreciation and quality.

But on the whole, the Beijing army is a group of loose soldiers who are paid higher than other branches of the army but lack strict and effective training, and they are used to being second-rate ruffians in the army. The forbidden army sent to garrison the Halal Mountain mine was suddenly trained every day, how could they stand this, they gave in first, and they were obedient one by one.

The 5,000 forbidden troops, who account for the vast majority of the garrison, are honest, and the remaining 3,000 original mine guards are not as good as the forbidden army in terms of status and treatment, and the situation is stronger than people, so they can only bow their heads now.

Wang Sen, Jiang Hong and other officers ruled the army and were proud. But no one is stupid. Who is how much smarter than whom?

The current situation of the Great Song Dynasty is obviously there.

National difficulties?

The emperor is still engaged in the Huashi Gang, not only does not converge, but also grows more and more crazy. The treatment of the bureaucracy has not been reduced by half a year, but has a tendency to increase day by day.

Oh, the emperor has the money to squander on the flower stone. The state has money for the bureaucrats to enjoy and squander. When it is our turn, we will have no money and no food, so do we who are already poor and deserve more support and care for the country tighten our belts and save money and food to supply elsewhere, and tide over the difficulties with the country?

Who the are you fooling?

It's true that we are ignorant and ignorant fools at the bottom!

It's nothing more than when we are good bullies.

The officers and men of the garrison had a grudge in their hearts. The mine workers were even angrier.

Mining and smelting, not to mention the risk of mining disasters, but the work itself is extremely hard and requires abundant physical energy.

The new general manager not only greatly reduced the salary, so that the workers did not have enough food to eat, and their physical strength was exhausted, and the wages were too much less, which directly endangered the lives of the surrounding families with the mines, but also demanded to increase the mining volume and increase the task of copper ingots. What do you say that after this difficult period, the court remembers everyone's merits, and when the time comes, what you owe will make up and double the repayment?

The question is this, we lowly laborers and their families will die of exhaustion and starvation at any time, and will we survive until the day when the conscience of the court and the ministers of the court finds out and remembers us.

What if your life is hard to survive?

Looking at the loyal and hard-working Zhou Daren who ended up with the same fate as the criminal ministers, and looking at the miserable garrisons and even officers who had been loyal to the mines for many years but were ruthlessly kicked back to their hometowns to fend for themselves, the ghost believed that the court's gang of cannibalistic and bone-eating toys would be kind and compensate for the grass mustard miners.

The end is only more ruthless and miserable.

But, as a grass people, resentment is useless. If you don't want to die, you don't want to rebel, so you can only be at the mercy of the bureaucrats.

Accustomed to being an officer or businessman of the Beijing army, Wang Sen, Jiang Hong, and the Ram Wu did not know how powerful, and the lord Wang had been in the Halal Mountain for a long time, but he knew the ferocity of the people in the mine. If so many miners have a grudge and make trouble, and the garrison is unwilling to exert their strength to suppress it, don't have an accident to arouse the anger of the miners, as soon as something happens, it will definitely be a catastrophe.

It doesn't matter if the ram is greedy, the Song officials are greedy, there are too few upright officials like Zhou Chuan, and they are almost extinct, but if you continue to be so ruthless, the more greedy you are, the more you will be greedy, it will definitely not work.

If something happens, it's not just a problem that Ram Wu and others have to lose their heads, but he, a grassroots general who can get rid of his guilt without a father, must be the most unlucky one.

For this reason, Wang Nian repeatedly sought the theory of ram affairs and fought for the treatment of soldiers and miners, but in vain.

The ram didn't take him seriously at all, and besides, he wanted to force Wang Nian to be honest and obedient and cooperate with him, how could he listen.

He colluded closely with Wang Sen and Jiang Hong, set up Wang and threatened, and even less paid attention to the officials who managed the miners.

Wang Nian is also short-tempered, the Western Army was born in the border and trained some hard bones and self-confidence, self-reliance on military merits, military strength and leadership ability, as a general for many years, he has also developed arrogance, and he also has the prestige to treat soldiers well, and he is not afraid of threats. The threats and persecution of Ram Wu and Wang Sen Jianghong did not take him as the master in his eyes, which aroused his anger and antagonism.

It was a stalemate for more than half a year. Wang Nian suddenly fell seriously ill.

was mistakenly stolen copper production and made a fortune, but the emperor didn't nod his head and couldn't get rid of the ram who was hating so much, and now he found an opportunity and a way to take revenge.

He warmly invited Wang Nian to his home as a guest, saying that he realized that he had made a mistake and wanted to hold a banquet to apologize and make amends.

Wang Nian naturally didn't believe it, but Shangguan was invited, and his illness was cured, so he insisted that he could go out to socialize, so he had to go to see him.

During the banquet, the ram was sincere, but the purpose was only one, to drink the spirits of the king and strive not to die but also to drink and retire, so that the obstacle of the king could be pulled out justifiably.
