On August 27, the manufacturing errand handed over by the imperial court to the Western Workshop was completed in two months and five days, and all the manufactured weapons were neatly stacked in the workshop, and only a few points were sent to the arsenal.

The people from the Ordnance Institute and the Western Workshop were counting, while Yang Congyi and some craftsmen were studying how to make a carriage that could transport more supplies, because it was not easy for so many ordnance to be transported safely to the arsenal.

The carriage is mainly pulled by horses, and no matter how strong the horse is, it can only pull a few hundred catties of things, because one end of the carriage is hung on the horse's back, which is equivalent to saying that the horse and the wheel share the load on the car, that is to say, the horse not only has to carry hundreds of catties of weight, but also pulls hundreds of catties of weight, and the pressure on the horse is too great.

So Yang Congyi summoned some soldiers and asked them if they could design a four-wheeled carriage, so that the weight of the things on the carriage was on four wheels, and the horse only needed to pull forward, and there was no need to resist upward, and such a carriage would definitely pull more ordnance than ordinary carriages.

But at the same time, he also put forward a requirement, that is, the four-wheeled carriage should be able to steer flexibly.

When he didn't ask for it, the soldiers all thought that the four-wheeled carriage was very simple, just install four wheels on the carriage, and when Yang Congyi made a request, someone immediately understood the difficulty.

The two-wheeled carriage, the horse turns, there is a certain angle, and the carriage can follow the steering, but the four-wheeled carriage is different, the steering is far less dexterous than the two-wheeled car, and everyone has no clue for a while.

But this matter is not urgent, Yang Congyi did not urge, anyway, the task of manufacturing ordnance has been completed ahead of schedule, and the craftsmen have time to study the problem of four-wheel steering carriages.

In fact, Yang Congyi also felt very strange, why the carriages he saw were all two-wheeled, and he had never seen four-wheeled, until he began to think about it, and found that no one had solved the front-wheel steering problem at this time.

Yang Congyi doesn't know much about why the front wheels of the four-wheeled vehicle turn and how they turn, and even if he knows the technology of later generations, he can't use it here, not to mention that he doesn't know it yet.

At this moment, he just raised this problem, hoping that some of the thousands of people in the Western Workshop could use the thinking of this era to solve this problem. Once the problem of steering of a carriage is solved, the carrying capacity of a carriage will definitely increase exponentially.

However, before the craftsmen of the Western Workshop could come up with a way to turn the four-wheeled carriage, Yang Congyi was once again appointed by the imperial court.

It all started a few days ago.

On August 24, a letter sent from the Jin State went directly to the hands of Prime Minister Qin Hui, in which he asked the Song State what was the intention of the Song State to train troops on a large scale, select generals on a large scale, and form a number of elite new armies with a size of 10,000 people, and whether it was ready to tear up the peace contract and provoke a war between the Great Jin State and the Song State? At the end of the letter, it was said that if the Song Kingdom wanted war, the Dajin Kingdom would do what the Song Kingdom wished, and let millions of Dajin men drink the Yangtze River!

This letter was personally delivered to the palace by Qin Hui as soon as possible and presented to Emperor Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou received the letter, and before he could finish reading it, he was so frightened that he was almost about to cry in a hurry, and hurriedly asked Qin Hui if he had a solution.

However, Qin Hui did not reply positively, he said that this matter is related to the peace between Song and Jin, and it is best to let the ministers discuss it, and he is not easy to make up his mind now.

Qin Hui didn't say anything, and Zhao Gou had no choice but to follow Qin Hui's intentions and publish the letter from Jin Guo in the court and ask everyone's meaning.

This question, here comes the question.

Some people say that this is the Jin State warning the Great Song Dynasty not to build a new army and strengthen its military preparations, otherwise the two countries will fight again, and it is inevitable that the lives will be ruined, and it is recommended to abolish the newly formed army this year.

Some people say that the Jin State believes that the Great Song State should not train its troops in the peaceful time of the world, and is obviously suspected of provoking war, and suggests that the imperial court reduce the military expenditure of various armies, further reduce the army, and release more goodwill to the Jin State.

Some people also say that the Great Song Dynasty should withdraw the troops north of the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River as much as possible, not so close to the Jin State, otherwise it will be easy to stimulate the Jin State, and when the Jin Army goes south, there will be no peace in the world.

Some people even suggested that half of the northern garrison should be abolished, and all forbidden troops except for the garrison guarding Lin'an should be abolished, so as to show the Jin State that the Great Song Dynasty would never provoke another war.

Of course, some people say that the Great Song Dynasty does not train the army, and whether to build a new army is the matter of the Great Song Dynasty itself, what does it have to do with the Jin State, you can completely ignore the Jin State, if the Jin people want to tear up the alliance, the Great Song Dynasty men will never back down, they want to fight, and the Great Song Dynasty will accompany them.

In the court, the ministers expressed their opinions one by one, but the main and faction that disarmed and stopped the army had the absolute upper hand, and the few main battle factions, a few people, were drowned in the voice of the main and faction ministers.

On the second day, in the vertical arch hall, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, Zhang Fu, Qin Xi, Yang Cun and others agreed on three things.

The first is to further reduce the 20,000 troops north of the Yangtze River.

Second, the newly formed forbidden army was stationed in the south of the Yangtze River and would never cross the Yangtze River.

Third, the camp for the selection of generals should be permanently abolished, and there will never be any more large-scale selection of generals.

Three major matters related to the development of the Great Song Dynasty army were agreed, and Zhao Gou ordered Qin Hui to reply to the Jin State.

The day after these three matters were agreed, an edict was issued in the palace, and the governor and the secretary of the Privy Council were dismissed.

On the third day, the courtiers discussed disarmament matters and quickly agreed on the selection of the inspector to dismiss the Jianghuaitun garrison.

On the fourth day, the imperial court ordered the ordnance station to stop rushing to produce ordnance.

On the fifth day, the Great Song Dynasty replied to the letter of state of Jin and sent it out of Lin'an and flew to the north.

Subsequently, the front division of the palace and the various armies began a new round of transfers, appointments and dismissals.

On this day in early September, when Yang Congyi was discussing the feasibility of their plan with several soldiers who were very interested in the four-wheeled carriage, his transfer documents suddenly arrived.

Looking at the brand-new transfer documents, Yang Congyi was speechless for a long time.

Since there was an order from the imperial court, he had to finish the handover, and on the same day, he left the western workshop of the ordnance institute, which had served for less than three months.

When he returned home, Yang Congyi didn't know how to tell Qingchen about the transfer, so he didn't say anything.

It wasn't until the next day that he found out that his husband did not go to the government on time, and it was not a day of vacation and rest, Qingchen asked the reason, and Yang Congyi told the truth that he was no longer the deputy envoy of the Western Workshop.

Qingchen asked, and Yang Congyi took out the order given to him by the imperial court.

"The Xinghua Army?"

Qingchen took the appointment document given to Yang Congyi by the imperial court, and when he saw the end, he asked very suspiciously.

"Where is Xinghua? What is this going to do with your husband? ”

"Xinghua is on the edge of Quanzhou, and we are going back to Quanzhou again. I just stayed in Lin'an, and before I could accompany you into Lin'an City to take a walk, I was about to leave Lin'an again, and I made you suffer with me. ”

Yang Congyi felt very uncomfortable, on the one hand, he was not satisfied with the appointment of the imperial court, on the other hand, he felt sorry for Qingchen, and let her move from Quanzhou to Lin'an, but he didn't live a few days of stable life, and he had to go back.

"I will go wherever my husband goes, as long as I can be by my husband's side, I don't feel bitter at all."

In this regard, Yang Congyi could only smile apologetically, what could he say? In the future, I can only pity her more and feel more sorry for her, so as to relieve some of the guilt in my heart.

Although the new appointment document has been issued, it does not specify the time limit for taking office, so it seems that Xinghuajun is not in a hurry to let him go to his post, and the time is very relaxed.

For Yang Congyi, this inexplicable transfer appointment made him very confused, after all, he had only been serving in the West Workshop of the Ordnance Institute for more than two months, and he had not made a mistake in asking himself, and he had done well in the West Workshop, no matter what, there was no reason for the imperial court to change his position so quickly and transfer him to other places.

It wasn't until he went to the household department to get the monthly salary that he met the old people of the front of the palace and the yamen, that he knew that some major events had happened in the court recently, Zhang Fu, who was promoted to the chief of the Privy Council in April, was dismissed, and the court ordered that the garrison north of the Yangtze River should continue to be reduced, and the forbidden army stationed in various places in the front of the palace was not allowed to be transferred at will, such as the special edict of the imperial court, temporarily stationed in the same place, and the permanent cancellation of the selection of the general camp, no longer large-scale selection of generals.

And the reason for all this change is because of a letter sent by Jin Guo not long ago.

Yang Congyi, who didn't care much about the court situation, only then did he know what was going on in the court, and only then did he understand why his position had changed.

In the end, he was no more than presiding over the election camp and organizing the election of generals that ended only a few months ago. Since the imperial court promised not to elect generals anymore and permanently cancel the selection of generals, it means that generals should not be selected before, and Yang Congyi, who presided over the selection of generals, will naturally lose power.

He didn't know how much threat and pressure the imperial court was under from the Jin State, but he could think that the change in his position must be related to the gang leaders and faction ministers of the imperial court, and he only knew it, he had no room to fight, and it was impossible to fight with anyone, and he would already have to thank him if he was not removed.

Yang Congyi stayed in Lin'an for another half a month, took Qingchen's master and servant to visit Lin'an City in the Great Song Dynasty for a few days, and bought them some desirable things by the way.

Leaving Lin'an this time, although I don't know when he will come back, Yang Congyi vaguely guessed that he will definitely come back, after all, he is also a martial artist now, he has a meritorious reputation, and he also has a lot of military exploits in the army.

He went to the Xinghua Army to serve as a general judge, it was impossible not to go with Qingchen, as soon as the two left, Lin'an's home was scattered, and what to do with the house that had only been purchased for more than a year was still a problem.

In the end, Yang Congyi still entrusted the shopkeeper Fang who had helped him buy the property, and asked him to take care of the property on his behalf, so that people could live in it or rent it out, as for the two acres of land, they could be rented directly to others for farming.

After arranging the real estate issue after leaving, he gave some money and dismissed the two subordinates.

Originally, I wanted to say goodbye to Lu You and explain some things to him, but because I didn't ask him where he was in Lin'an, it was difficult to meet him again, so I had to give up.

And Shen Jin, another person who had a good relationship with him, never heard about him after returning to Lin'an.

Lin'an has no worries.

A few days later, Yang Congyi and Qingchen's master and servant drove away from Lin'an and slowly went to Fujian Xinghua Army to take office.
