Zhao Xing hesitated for a moment and replied vaguely: "Today, my concubine is ...... Mr. Mengxi, my concubine has been waiting for a long time, and I'll talk about the parabola later, what I need now is to hold people instead of throwing them, let's talk about it later, how about it? ”

A stiff smile appeared on Shen Kuo's face, and he replaced his answer with action - turning his head and face, Shen Kuo called out to the two widows: "Come on, come closer." ”

Shen Kuo no longer dwelled on this topic, Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief, he made a color at Yuan Yeping, and the two of them left the room without saying a word.

As soon as he went out, Yuan Yeping blurted out: "I said how to ......"

The loud echo in the corridor startled Genyeping, who had said casually in his usual tone, but in the corridor it seemed like a shout. After making a mistake, Yuan Yeping closed his mouth tightly, and when he walked into another reception room with Zhao Xing, he exhaled lightly and hummed softly in a childlike voice: "I said why our guns are always inaccurate, it turns out that there is still this reason when aiming - Wangshan should be level with the muzzle, not the muzzle crosshair." ”

Zhao Xing shook his head: "You are wrong, it is definitely the aiming between Wangshan and the crosshair, but we chose the wrong mathematical model between the crosshair and Wangshan, so we are not accurate...... Shen Kuo's words just now made me understand: we were wrong, the height of the crosshair should not be measured from the muzzle of the barrel, because the wall of the pipe has a thickness, so the shape between the crosshair made in this way and the Wangshan is not equal, and because of the difference in bronze composition, the shrinkage rate is different, which in turn leads to the thickness of the wall of each barrel is different, so we cannot achieve the standardization of the Wangshan.

This situation is not a problem with guns, because guns can't shoot far. It becomes a big problem when it is placed on the artillery, and there is a slight difference on the lookout mountain, and the difference between the shells and the cannonballs may be a hundred meters, and this is the reason. Now that I understand, his words have made me completely understand the relationship between Wangshan and the crosshairs. This makes our Wangshan scale get rid of empiricism all of a sudden...... Well, it's a baby. ”

Yuan Yeping understood what Zhao Xing meant, and immediately replied: "I will keep an eye on him for you." ”

Zhao Xing smiled bitterly, touched his forehead and said, "I don't seem to have promised you to come back." You're back, what about Michigan? ”

Yuan Yeping smiled. The smile was very coquettish, he half-covered his mouth, and the smile was bright: "Do you still need to worry about Mizhou?" Your ...... How joint-stock companies operate – yes, that's the name. You can't get a needle in the strict operation methods of a joint-stock company. Merchants in Michigan saw the benefits and feared that there would be mistakes in the implementation process. Let others take advantage of the loophole, which in turn affects your own income. They can be conscious of their maintenance of that set of rules, and they don't need to be your ** heart. ”

The principle of business civilization is that it is fair, and as long as a framework is established, the people within the framework will do their best to get the most out of the system. Once the mainland businessmen begin to rise, it is no longer possible for one or two people to shake the framework.

That's what Yuan Yeping said. Zhao Xing was helpless. He spread his hands. Answer: "I have just moved the house, and there are no vacancies everywhere." I'm afraid you're going to have to spend the night today, and tomorrow you'll be able to settle in any house under the castle. In addition, after this incident, I plan to train a group of Zhuang Ding - recruited from Huainan Huangzhou, people say that Huai people are brave, you help me train 500 Zhuang Ding, suppress bandits, you will not interfere. ”

Yuan Yeping stood up and blasted Zhao Xing outward, and he said resentfully: "Go, go, let's play with your concubine." It's a very good place, and someone brought me a blanket, and I spent the night in this house. ”

Zhao Xing went out, the two black women stood in the corridor with lamps, bowed to him, and they reported to Zhao Xing in Arabic: "Master, we have inspected all floors, and the whole building has fallen into a deep sleep, do you need to look again?" ”

Zhao Xing smiled, waved his hand and ordered: "Release the dogs and cats, order the yard to close the door and blackmail, you should also rest." ”

The corridor in this building is a huge echo gallery, Zhao Xing took off his shoes, twisted his shoes in his hand, walked quietly, pushed open Chen Yiyi's wedding room, the three maids in the house bowed to Zhao Xing, and there was a maid sitting at the head of the bed, seeing Zhao Xing come in, she raised her hand to push Chen Yiyi on the bed, Zhao Xing made a silent gesture and waved their hands to order them to retreat.

Chen Yiyi actually slept, this child was excited for several days, she was laughing at the whole wedding, and when she sat in her house and quieted down, she fell asleep involuntarily, and she didn't even take off her wedding clothes.

Zhao Xing sat at the head of the bed, staring at the little face smiling in his sleep, staring for a moment, he lightly took off his coat for Chen Yiyi, took a silk quilt to cover, sighed himself, found a place on the carpet, lay down and fell asleep.

In the early morning, Zhao Xing was woken up by a scream, and when he looked up, he saw Chen Yiyi sitting on the bed with sleepy eyes, and asked repeatedly: "What time is it, my God, I want to serve my husband, what about my husband, how can I ......?"

Zhao Xing lay on the carpet next to the bed and reminded leisurely: "I'm here." ”

Chen Yiyi rubbed his eyes, rolled his eyes, pounced on him happily, and shouted excitedly: "On the carpet, do you like to be on the carpet, great." ”

After she finished speaking, she lifted Zhao Xing's quilt and got in, and then hugged Zhao Xing tightly and happily and refused to let go......

At noon, Zhao Xingcai went down to the restaurant downstairs, only Su Shi and Gao Yu were left in the restaurant, Su Shi flipped through a newspaper, Gao Yu saw Zhao Xing come in, and said with a smile: "The results of yesterday's interrogation are here, do you want to see it?" ”

Zhao Xing sat at the dining table, and while instructing the servant to bring lunch, well, maybe breakfast, he said, "How many bandits have come in total, are you sure they are from Fuyang?" ”

Gao Yu took a sip of tea and cleared his mouth, flipped through the pile of files in his hand, and replied with a sigh: "Lord Mao Pengmao was busy all night yesterday, and the trial came out: this gang of bandits actually came from nine places, and the largest group had ten people, mainly six families in Hushan, and they wanted to inquire about the situation in the castle several times, but they couldn't figure out the situation in the castle. So they had to recruit a lot of people......

The whole plan was planned for a year, and the nine gangs numbered a total of 57 people, and 11 ships were collected...... Unexpectedly, Hushan turned out to be the largest thief leader in the southern part of the Song Dynasty, and it has been in business for more than 100 years. According to the bandits' confession, they established a clan alliance a hundred years ago, originally intending to help each other when they encountered the invasion of the Hu people, and then gradually transformed.

After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, our emperor. They have already robbed their homes and houses for a living, and the grass market and river crossings along the river in nearby states and counties have not escaped from their palms. In the past, Master Pu Zongmeng once showed a little sign, but with the transfer of Master Pu. It's a ...... of no end."

Zhao Xing swallowed the food in his mouth and said without mind: "Master Mao is working so hard, I have to write a few more strokes in the report." ”

Gao Yu pouted. Answer: "That sycophant...... Well, since you don't want to take credit. Then the credit is me and him, and by the way, Yang Zuren is also added. But the affairs of Hushan, how are you prepared, the rest of the bandits are all invited by the 6 families of Hushan from near Fuyang, with the character of leaving people, I guess you will not let them go. ”

Su Shi on the table put down the newspaper, sighed and said, "Ask Weng Da Yuling to live." How many times have you seen moving south? Cai is indeed finished! Wretched! ”

Zhao Xing asked curiously: "Cai has indeed arrived in Lingnan?" ”

It was about the time when Zhao Xing first entered Bianjing. That is, in February of that year, Cai did make a few poems. Yongoh "car cover pavilion". The poem fell into the hands of his good friend Wu Chuhou. Wu Chuhou and Cai Qu are also teachers and friends, Cai Qu had learned from everywhere in his early years, and there was a friendship between teachers and students. Later, Cai was indeed the best Zaifu, and Wu wanted to make friends with him, but Cai did refuse and was repeatedly excluded, so Wu was jealous and hateful to Cai Qu.

In April this year, he used the poem in the first year of the Tang Dynasty to allude to the Empress Dowager Gao, and slandered the Empress Dowager Gao. Liang Tao and Liu Anshi of the old party agreed with this. Empress Dowager Gao was furious and decided to exile him to New State.

Fan Chunren and Wang Cun believed that Cai Qu could no longer be degraded, and the Cai Qu incident could only be used as a lesson as a warning, but it could not open the way to exile ministers. and that Cai Qu's mother was old and Lingnan Road was far away, so she advocated moving to another place, but Empress Dowager Gao said: "The mountain can be moved, but this state cannot be moved." ”

When Cai was indeed demoted, Fan Chunren said to Lu Dafang: "The Lingnan Road has been full of thorns for seventy or eighty years, and it will be reopened today, and we will inevitably end up in the future." He also asked Zhezong to intercede with Empress Dowager Gao, but Zhezong still protested in silence. Subsequently, the incident expanded, and began to go online indefinitely, Cai Qu's confidant Li Chang was degraded to Dengzhou, Peng Ruli was degraded to Xuzhou, and Zeng Zhao was degraded to Yingzhou.

Li Chang and Su Zhe were among the top accountants in the Great Song Dynasty at that time, and his demotion meant that Zhao Xing's original proposal to mint new coins and open the Jiaozhou Grand Canal was officially put on hold......

On the newspaper that Su Shi read, there was a news of Cai Qu. When Cai was demoted to Xinzhou, there was only one concubine named Pipa who accompanied him, and he also raised a parrot. This parrot can learn human language, and whenever Cai does call the pipa, as long as he rings the small bell, the parrot will call the name of the pipa.

But not long after they arrived, their concubine Pipa died due to unsuitability, and Cai did not ring the bell again. One day, Cai did ring the small bell by mistake, and the parrot heard the sound and called the name of the pipa. Cai did touch the scene, felt great sadness, and wrote a poem: "The sound of the parrot is still there, and the pipa is no longer a thing." It hurts the river and Han water, and it is different to go together. ”

Su Shi extremely disapproved of the imperial court's treatment of Cai Qu, he put down the newspaper, and was still lamenting for Cai Qu, probably because he recalled his experience in Huangzhou.

Zhao Xing took the newspaper, read it for a long time, and smiled coldly: "You also have today!" ”

With that, he casually threw the newspaper back on the table.

Gao Yu had already read the newspaper, he glanced at the newspaper thrown down by Zhao Xing, and asked in surprise: "Do you mean Cai Cheng or Zhang?" ”

Zhao Xing replied: "Both of them!" I mean: all deprivation and sin, life will not forget. This is called the law of cause and effect, and a person's actions determine his fate, and if you plant thistles, don't expect to harvest roses. ”

"How?" Gao Yu asked rhetorically.

Su Shi had already begun to eat lunch sullenly, Zhao Xing glanced at Su Shi, and replied: "The Wutai poetry case was presided over by Cai Qu that day, and he spared no effort to persecute the teacher, and now he has also encountered the Chegaiting poetry case. Isn't this a report for a report? ”

Su Shi shook his head there, but Zhao Xing added in a shocking way: "However, the people who deal with Cai Qu today, do they expect that they will have good results in the future, I am afraid that if they want to get Cai Qu's treatment in the future, they will not be able to get it." ”

Gao Yu disagreed with Zhao Xing's statement: "No, Wang Anshi changed the law, and the two laws of Changping and exemption from military service became Cai Qu's hands." Now there is a dispute between the new law and the old law in the court. Let people not do anything right, Cai did go. Wouldn't we be able to do a good job? ”

Zhao Xing smiled a little: "Cai is indeed here, there are two noisy voices in the court, Cai is indeed leaving." There will be a hundred voices for a hundred people in the court. This is called mental inertia. Therefore, in the future, there will be no chaos. Only more messy. ”

Su Shi opened his mouth to say something, but Zhao Xing hurriedly shook his head: "Teacher." Hugh said that now is not the time to speak, and above the limelight, silence is golden. ”

Gao Yu shook his head and smiled, half persuasive, half self-deprecating: "Rule a place." Maintain peace and abundance. That's all we can do. My lord. If you open your mouth indiscriminately at this time, I am afraid that even the opportunity to govern a place will be lost. ”

Zhao Xing couldn't allow Su Shi to think about it, and turned the topic farther and farther: "That's right! Keep the peace of the realm, we just got under attack, let me do the rest of the work. ”

Gao Yu hurriedly said: "You can't take all the ten foot archers away, after yesterday's incident, I have already appeared, and the remaining five foot archers are all waste materials, and I can't count on them." ”

Gao Yu was talking about the ten earth archers composed of the children of the Cheng clan. Zhao Xing's bows and arrows here are of high quality, the practice venue is large, and there are many equipment, so when the ten Cheng clan foot archers were attacked yesterday, the combat effectiveness shown was much higher than that of the five foot archers in Hangzhou. Due to the attack, when Mao Peng left, he had already taken away half of the Cheng clan foot archers to protect his safety, and Gao Yu was worried about another accident, so Zhao Xing was not allowed to transfer the ten Cheng clan disciples.

Su Shi was finally distracted by Zhao Xing, and he immediately beckoned someone to bring pen and ink, and said, "I will sign an order for you immediately, and you can transfer a capital army to go with you, and the other people will ...... I don't think you're short of people here, so let's fill it with your people. ”

After a pause, Su Shi immediately said: "Master Yan will also go, I will ask Zemin to write a document for sea fishing, and Master Yan will go to Fuyang to deliver it, so as not to cause misunderstanding." ”

Su Shi, Gao Yu, and Zhao Xing are all there, and they can almost decide 80% of the things in Hangzhou City, and the three of them get together, and after a while, they will complete the documents that should be reissued, and Zhao Xing will immediately send people to the Xiangjun to select people, and as for the people in his castle, they have already been prepared.

Zhou Bangshi was already waiting on the dock, he seemed to be speechless, Zhao Xing sighed: "Zhang Laozi's matter, I can't help, you came to me, you found the wrong one." ”

Zhou Bangshi smiled bitterly and replied: "I also know that it must be so, but things are born, I am a bit of a six-god masterless, according to the people, what will be the follow-up?" ”

The content of Zhou Bangshi's conversation with Zhao Xing is that Zhao Xing just saw something about Zhangdi in the Di newspaper. The newspaper also recorded the imperial court's punishment of Zhang and Cai Qu. Zhang was forced to buy 21 households of land at a low price in the township, and then carried out a little violent demolition and relocation of the villagers, and the villagers sued the county, but the county officials did not dare to accept the complaint, but only used delaying tactics.

Originally, the villagers had to sue the state, but those villagers changed their minds halfway, and they went directly to the capital to "petition at a higher level".

In the Song Dynasty, there was no precedent for cracking down on "petitioning people who went beyond the level to Beijing", and these villagers actually overthrew the former Minister of National Defense.

This stabbed the hornet's nest, and heard that Zhang, the former minister of defense, returned to his hometown to bully the grassroots people, and forced the purchase of ordinary people's houses for violent demolition, the entire imperial court was boiling, and all the imperial historians, regardless of party affiliation, unanimously demanded that Zhang be severely punished...... But the Empress Dowager Gao's board was raised high and fell gently, and only the punishment was returned to the people's land and property, and the seal was fined ten catties of copper.

Because the penalty was too light, the court shouted "heavy punishment of Zhang" has been endless, and Zhang Nafang is still arrogant, he returned the peasants' land according to the requirements of the imperial court, and paid the fine copper happily, but the export threat to those villagers made the villagers panic.

This is the case, Zhang still feels that others have failed him, and the only right thing in this world is himself. So, he sent Zhou Bangshi to find Zhao Xing, because Zhao Xing's thug Tyson was too famous, and Zhang hoped that Zhao Xing would rely on his broad friends and hire a few people similar to Tyson to educate those villagers for him.

After all, Zhou Bangshi still has morality in his heart, and he himself feels that this request is too much, so he is embarrassed to speak, and when he heard Zhao Xing's refusal, he did not continue to ask, but just frowned and reminded Zhao Xing: "Leave people, Zhang Laozi...... You know, this man, alas, what can I say to you? You have the strength to suppress bandits across the border, but you don't have the manpower to help Zhang Laozi, I'm afraid you will be hated by him in the future. ”

Hmph, after this incident, Zhang's arrogance has been completely defeated, what else does he do in the countryside...... What's more, Zhao Xing has always suspected that the "infiltration incident" is not so simple, he suspects that there is a shadow behind this incident, but unfortunately he has no evidence. Of course, even if there is evidence, Zhao Xing can only pretend not to know.

What he needs to do now is to get as far away from the chapter as possible, that man is not a person to associate with, because he takes the efforts of others for granted, and the occasional refusal as an insult. Such people... Zhao Xing stretched out his hand and sighed: "That's also something that can't be helped, you also know about this, my house was attacked, and there are bandits who have slipped through the net, I can't let go of this matter, not to mention that this matter has also alarmed Fa Cao and Xiang Jun, it's no longer my business alone, where the responsibility lies, how can I not deal with this group of bandits first?" ”

After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he grabbed Zhou Bangshi with one hand, carried him to the springboard, and said as he walked: "What's more, Zhang Laozi has 3,000 tenants there, he wants to find someone, where to find hundreds of people, do you still use me to shoot?" ”

Unconsciously, Zhou Bangshi followed Zhao Xing to the boat, and when Zhao Xing shouted to start the boat, he woke up like a dream and exclaimed: "Do you want to go to sea if you leave people, put down the springboard, I still have something at home, and I can't leave people with me." ”

"Little things!" Zhao Xing squinted his eyes and observed the afternoon sun, and replied: "Suppressing bandits is just a trivial matter, we will arrive in Fuyang tonight and settle the battle tomorrow morning." ”

Zhao Xing's men took five loach boats, the wheels of the loach boats made a rattling sound in the water, and in the blink of an eye, they broke away from the dock and galloped upstream.

Gao Yu, who was born in Xiaoshi, wore a Japanese armor over an official robe, and the Japanese girls dressed him up majestic and handsome, he held a Tang knife, stood on the deck, and pouted at Zhou Bangshi, Zhou Bangshi saw this scene, and suddenly came to the courage and asked: "Give me the armor too, I see that this armor is beautiful, let me also have one." The scholars all have a desire to scold Fang Xuan in their bones, they think that war is an idea, so the battle is a stormy tour. Zhou Bangshi was so excited by Gao Yu's outfit that he immediately forgot what he was doing here in Zhao Xing. When he put on his armor, he also found a wooden stick, stood beside Zhao Xing with high spirits, and said impassionedly: "I have long wanted to visit the lakes and mountains, but unfortunately the group of thieves is entrenched...... Ah, I remember, I said yesterday that I would burn the mountain, I have to keep an eye on you, you can suppress the bandits, and don't destroy every grass and tree on the mountain at will. ”

The loach boat went very fast, arrived in Fuyang in the evening, Gao Yu went to the county government in the city to deliver the paperwork, returned to the boat to rest, the next day as soon as the sky was bright, Zhao Xing sent people to Fuyang City to collect carriages and horses. It's a pity that there are not many carriages and horses in Fuyang City, and by the time Zhao Xing brought the war horses from the Jasmine Garden, it was already dark, and everyone had to continue to stay on the ship for a day.

Zhou Bangshi was a little puzzled, and he questioned Zhao Xing's approach at noon: "Brother Zhao, the art of war: Soldier Guishen, how you preach is well known, but you are slow to advance. ”
