Chapter 2: Everything Moves the World (3)

[The more the festival, the less time there is for the code word, there is only one shift today, and there will be something during the day tomorrow, so only two watches can be guaranteed. Let's see if we can make up for it the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. 】

In the evening, Han Gang sat in the box in the back garden of Xixi Building, looking down from the railing.

Directly below is a pool of lotus leaves, and koi fish swim happily among the green lotus leaves. Watching the fish in the pond, the sunset only shows half of his face on the courtyard wall in the west, and the afterglow of the most columbian is sprinkled into the pool, with golden scales. From time to time, the carp jumps out of the water, and the splashed droplets shine like the setting sun, like broken gold, like jade shavings.

Han Gang looked down at the ripples on the water, and when he heard the sound of the door opening behind him, he didn't look back, but said: "A wave has not settled, and a wave has risen, but I don't know when it will subside?" ”

Zhang Dun strode in, "No matter how big the wind and waves are, there is also a credit to Yukun!" Turning back to the shopkeeper who had not stepped in at the door, he commanded, "It's business as usual." ”

Zhang Dian and Han Gang are old customers, and their tastes are already familiar to the chefs in the Xixi Building. The shopkeeper calmly retired and closed the door.

"If you are a bachelor, Han Gang will not dare to be it." Han Gang also stood up early, greeted Zhang Dan, and said with a smile: "It was Lu Jifu who wanted to do it, but he dragged me into the water." ”

Zhang Dian had just been promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin ten days ago, with a fairy flower belt tied around his waist, and the fish bag was no longer worn according to the rules, which was the time to be in high spirits: "But what I'm talking about is Wang Zichun's performance today." ”

There has been an endless debate about Han Gang's proposal to set up a teaching team in the army. Zhao Ji originally had the idea of asking the lieutenant general of the political army, but he vetoed it in unison to the civil ministers, and only at this time will the civil officials work together. But after the civil officials pushed back the idea of the Son of Heaven, they still debated endlessly, and they couldn't get a result.

And when the argument was endless, Wang Shao stood up and proposed that the members of the teaching team were not limited to the disabled soldiers, but all veterans with military merits could join in - this proposal came from Han Gang, and he was not good at changing it, so he invited Wang Shao to help. However, the proposal was not adopted and could not be determined. No matter how you look at it, it is very likely that it will be troubled for a few more months, and it will not be resolved at the end.

"For today's court, why worry about this matter?" Han Gang sneered.

This case has obviously fallen into a party dispute, and only if you can fight for a result, but on the other hand, the issue has been successfully deflected by him, and no one will pursue the strength of his family anymore. But there is one more thing...... It should be said that there are two things, and the trouble in the court is even worse.

Han Gang and Zhang Dian invited each other to sit down, and reached out to pour a cup of cold soup: "I'm just Xingbo in the pool, and those two things are huge waves in the sea." ”

"Shen Kuo and Fan Bailu have been interrogated for so long, don't they just want to pull Wang Xianggong into the rebellion case together? Can you bypass the Son of Heaven? It's simply wishful thinking! ”

"Shen Cunzhong's temperament is weak, you don't know the way? Where can he overpower Fan Bailu! He didn't dare to think about it. ”

The more Han Gang understood Shen Kuo, the more he wanted to sigh. Shen Kuo is indeed a knowledgeable generalist, and even above Su Song, he went on an envoy to Liao, and after coming back, he made all the mountains and rivers along the way into a sand table and dedicated it to Zhao Xu. After Han Gang read it, he couldn't find anything wrong with his memory of the geography of the mountains and rivers that went out of Yanshan from Gubeikou to Chengde in later generations. Shen Kuo was not fortunate to be able to leave such a great reputation in later generations. But his character is a little lacking, and he is too weak.

Zhang Dian sneered, he knew that Han Gang had some friendship with Shen Kuo, but it shouldn't be deep. Shen Kuo's talent is understood by Zhang Dan, but he doesn't attach too much importance to the characters who are afraid of his wife like a tiger.

"In addition, in order to fight for a breath in the political hall, Lu Jifu brought his younger brother to the cusp of the storm, which is also a case." Han Gang smiled, "Bachelors can't be missed. ”

Li Feng's rebellion case pulled out the clan Zhao Shiju, and Zhao Shiju's rebellion case involved the Taoist Li Shining, and now the world is waiting to see whether the officials who presided over the case will also involve the former prime minister Wang Anshi. This, of course, is intolerable to the New Party.

And in another case - that is, the case of the Xiang army of the Bianhe Water Mill attacking the Han family - Lu Huiqing grabbed the matter, shouted and killed over there, and wanted to make a big case. There are also many people who plan to see who Lu Huiqing plans to chase the most responsibility. In the speculation, most of them are one of the two governments.

The two cases have unwittingly become a continuation of the old and new party disputes, and the supporters and opponents have gradually become distinct. And the two cases have changed from criminal cases to political cases, and from political cases to excuses for party disputes, and now, it is impossible to distinguish between right and wrong, let alone the verdict results.

In the final analysis, the current situation is caused by Zhao Ji. Zhang Dian and Han Gang had already exchanged opinions on this, and when the two bold figures spoke in private, they had no scruples: "If it weren't for the Son of Heaven planning to Jun Heng Dynasty, how would it get to this point?" ”

"With Han Zihua, Feng Dangshi, and Wang Yuyu being constrained, and without the fame of the original family, the support of the Son of Heaven will not have the wholeheartedness of the year, and Lu Jifu can smoothly suppress the other people in the political hall to call it a ghost. If it continues like this, I'm afraid the Son of Heaven won't be able to bear it. ”

There was the sound of deliberately heavy footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and the two of them invariably picked up the teacup and took a sip of cold soup. The shopkeeper personally brought people to send people the scallion and dried bacon flavored by Zhenghe Han Gang and Zhangdun, in addition to five or six plates of hot dishes and cold dishes, plus two pots of fine wine from Xixi Lou's specialty, which is more than enough for the two to drink.

The carved silverware was placed all over the table, and as soon as the door closed, only Han Gang and Zhang Dian were left in the box.

"You still underestimate Lu Jifu, he has already advanced many things, even if there is no such thing this time, he can find a few things." Zhang Dan picked up the wine glass, "Do you think Feng Jing and Wang Qi are both righteous men and gentlemen, and they can't find a little mistake in them?" He's ruthless, but he's going to gamble he's desperate. As long as the Son of Heaven still wants to implement the new law, Feng Jing will definitely not be able to win. ”

"Isn't there still Han Zihua?"

"When it comes to stabilizing the new law, how can he compare to Lu Jifu." Zhang Dian shook his head, "Don't talk about it." It's Yukun, you, many things have gone wrong during this time. Especially to deal with the gang of vans who came to the door, enduring the momentary anger is the best way to deal with it. ”

Han Gang sighed and said half-truthfully, "Who would have thought that those hundred people would be so vulnerable? ”

"Then you shouldn't rush to grab someone's land." Zhang Dian didn't doubt Han Gang's words. If Han Gang had calculated in advance that he would use six or seven families to overturn a hundred people, he would never believe it, "It would be good to let the blacksmiths in the prison make trouble first, and then make a proposal." ”

"I don't want to take a little risk, who knows what will happen to the road in the end?" Han Gang was sincere this time, "If there is an accident and the workshop in the prison is destroyed, I will become a laughing stock, what should I do about the plate armor?" ”

Han Gang would rather be jealous of the Son of Heaven than dress up as a victim - because he can't dress up. After using virtual and real means, using plate armor and spaceships to stunned the world, his image has been determined. Be resourceful and act before you decide. How can such a talented person be busy solving the mess when he sees it? If you do it according to Zhang's words, it will add truth to the truth, and it is better to be hard to the end.

"It's true that moving the workshop outside the city itself is nothing, but if the folk workshops all start to forge hammers with hydraulic hammers, what will you do when Yukun comes? Charges of misconduct and leaking secrets will fall on you. Zhang Dian was a little distressed when he said this, and Han Gang discussed it with him before he made something, "Yukun, you are giving people a handle!" ”

"Can you prevent it by hiding it? The artifacts I have made people make are said to be military instruments, but it is not difficult to imitate them at all, and you can understand them by looking at them twice. Han Gang was very rude and knocked on the wine glass with his chopsticks, "The bachelor lives in the east of the city, and he should pass by the Guanyin Academy every day. You should see that there is something wrong on the pier of that section of the Bianhe River, right? ”

Zhang Dian left home early and came home late every day, and he was in a hurry, and he really didn't pay much attention. But when he frowned and searched his memory carefully, he found that the place that Han Gang had said in the past few days did feel a little different from before. There was less work, but two more strange things on the ground.

Zhang Dian told Han Gang about the discovery he had recalled. Han Gang smiled and said, "That's the track!" The inside of the ordnance prison is still being tested, and the outside has already been taken out and used. As soon as he thought that two days earlier he had suddenly heard that the silk merchants in the city had begun to lay tracks on the wharf for their own useβ€”although the wheels were only a slight improvement of the old iron-clad wheelsβ€”the expression on his face became angry, smiling, and a little strange, "Find out who leaked it, and teach him a lesson!" ”

"Track?" Zhang Dian had heard of this thing for a long time, and knew that it was something that Han Gang had been working hard to develop in the Weapons Supervision recently, and asked in surprise: "Why did it come out?!" ”

"It was originally carried by manpower from the wharf to the warehouse, but now the car is placed on the track, and it is only necessary to push it with both hands, which is as easy as an ice sled, one person can reach the work of twenty people, and it is more convenient to use mules and horses. The number of people moving on the docks can be cut by at least one-third. Think about how much labor you can save? Someone wants to sell, of course someone will buy. ”

"These profiteers!" As soon as he heard that it was very likely that the profiteers had bribed the craftsmen in the weapons prison, Zhang Dian immediately scolded fiercely.

Hearing Han Gang say that the track can save a lot of labor, he was not surprised, but his face changed suddenly. Kyoto is one country where goods from all over the world gather in the city, and there are tens of thousands of porters along the docks and waterways, and if a third of them lose their jobs at once, it is likely that the city will become a riot.

"If the track spreads in the capital, I'm afraid my house will really be burned."

Compared to fighting for the territory of the water-powered mill, Han Gang did not have a little psychological burden - the Xiang army and their Yulu could support their families - and there were enough excuses. He can also arrange the manpower saved by using the track in the ordnance prison. But if the track is popularized in the capital and takes away the food and clothing of the laborers, in the eyes of the world, it is his unshirkable responsibility.

"Compared with burning Yukun's house, it is more likely that you burned the track directly." In Zhang's mind, how can the laborers who have lost their jobs have so many twisting and turning thoughts, and if something robs them of their food, their anger will be sent to wherever they go.

"I can't say for sure about this matter," Han Gang half-narrowed his eyes, and his voice was as soft as if he was saying it to himself: "There are always people with a heart." ”
