Chapter 156: Lin'an City is like an iron bucket
Zhang Guoan watched Shen Qianqian leave happily. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
She went to pack her things so that they could be pulled away by the car.
He also gave her some money and asked her to buy more spices, so she was still busy for a while.
Zhang Guoan turned around and asked the servants to send all the marinated goods that Shen Qianqian "kindly" sent to sell, and sent them to the nearby orphanage for the elderly.
Where did the Great Song government get the money to maintain a huge welfare system?
Roughly speaking, in addition to some of the expenses of the official welfare of the Great Song Dynasty, there are several sources: "Inner Treasury Treasury", that is, the small official treasury funds mentioned above; income from public land; the interest of the frequently closed position; The income of state-run commercial institutions, such as "Yusheqian", that is, the rental income of government-run warehouses, was quite developed in the Great Song Dynasty, so they believed that it was a matter of course for the dividends of these "state-owned enterprises" to be used for national welfare.
In fact, in addition to the state welfare system, there was also a more extensive private relief system presided over by the gentry, who either ran similar benefits themselves or donated materials.
No matter how delicious Shen Qianqian's marinated goods are, it is impossible to eat them every day, every time she sends them to sell, Zhang Guoan buys them, and then asks them to send them to the orphanage, and everyone in the family has eaten enough.
When it was time to leave, Zhang Guoan still left two servants to take care of the house.
He followed the gangplank, and after getting on the boat, he said to Cai Erlang, the captain of No. 001: "It's been a long time, you're fat!" ”
Captain Cai Erlang stayed comfortably at home for a while, of course this person would be fat.
Captain Cai Erlang said: "Captain Zhang, now this Liuqiu Island is known to everyone in Lin'an City, and many people have come to inquire and ask if they can go there to hunt deer ------."
"Oh, what did you say?"
Said so. Yes, but there is a fee to pay------ so we all developed it together. ”
Zhang Guo was happy, he could have done it without charge, as long as he sold some of the prey to himself.
Now, according to unreliable data, there are millions of sambar deer on the island, and it is far from the level that it should be protected.
Zhang Guoan was happy. In this time and space, the Great Song Dynasty still has the concept of private ownership.
He smiled and said, "You're right, pay a fee, sell us some more prey, and you can hunt as you like." ”
Captain Cai Erlang pointed to a small dhow in the distance and said, "That's a small boat hired by a dozen people------ they were originally idlers." ”
Zhang Guoan looked at it seriously and said, "Is such a small boat safe?" ”
Captain Cai Erlang said: "It's okay, it's only a few days of sea travel------"
The medium-sized fleet, as before, hung a kind of dead wind lantern on the top of the mast so that they could take care of each other at night.
Right now. It's the middle of July, and there is a bright moon at night, and at the same time, there are typhoons.
Zhang Guoan had to gamble once, he couldn't afford to delay the time, now counting, it was only a year and a half before the Tatar army launched a full-scale offensive, and during this period. There can be no unexpected changes yet.
Zhang Guoan could only borrow a barometer and use the method taught by Wanshida to predict the typhoon.
It was a calm morning. More than 40 ships left the dock one after another and embarked on the journey back to the island.
Zhang Guoan looked at the dock farther and farther away, and felt a little regretful in his heart, that Fake Commander didn't come to see him off, and he still had something to say to him.
The two cities of Xiangfan must be defended. Whatever it takes.
There are two big locks on the Yangtze River, and at this time, that Lu Wende also made the biggest and stupidest mistake.
Now, Lu Wende has been serving as the envoy of the Jinghu system and granting the bail.
Back in July 1263. Liu Quan, who had fled to the Tatar bandit group due to economic problems, offered advice to Kublai Khan, the bandit leader, to set up a field outside the city of Xiangyang to cover his military operations.
The construction of the field is conducive to the trade between the two sides, which is nothing in the eyes of the merchant-heavy Great Song Dynasty, and Lu Wende did accept a jade belt from the Tatar envoy.
However, the Tatar envoys, under the pretext of "the untrustworthy southerners", demanded the construction of walls to protect their goods.
After Lu Wende agreed, they took the opportunity to build an earthen wall on Lumen Mountain, which led to the "mutual market" outside, and built a fort wall inside.
This fortress wall played a major role in the Battle of Xiangyang a year and a half later!
Successfully blocked the reinforcements from the south and north of the Great Song Dynasty------
So, Zhang Guoan wanted to tell this to the commander of the law, but this guy was promoted and ignored himself?
In the end, Zhang Guoan retracted his gaze and looked back at the east, let's talk about it later, there is still time.
At this time, a round of the sun had just emerged from the water, and the ten thousand rays of light shot into the distance------ and the sea breeze was stronger.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In fact, Zhang Guoan is really wrong to blame the law for being in charge.
I had a heat stroke yesterday, and I'm still confused.
At this time, his little wife was wrapping ice cubes on his forehead.
After Pingzhang Jia seemed to get the ice tube, he ordered people to build dozens of them, except for a part of the palace, the rest was distributed to some of his subordinates, Lao Jia is not a stingy person.
Commander Fa Ke was the first to be rewarded by the Great Song Dynasty, and in that military exercise field, everyone knew how hard it was to train at this time.
The nitrate used in these ice tubes is the kind brought by Zhang Guoan.
Commander Fa Ke is a little unhappy, this is to be equipped with black fire/medicine, how can it be used to make ice?
Zhang Guoan said to him at the time: "Hurry up and send it to someone in person, I will send it in ten days at most after I go back, and you are the time to hand over the person at this time!" ”
Well, he went door-to-door and gave some.
Sure enough, he received a lot of praise from many officials.
Zhang Guoan took this opportunity to enlighten him and said: "If you want to mix well in the circle of the Zhao family, you must pay close attention to interpersonal problems, although it is still not as important as military merits, but it can be an amplifier of your military merits!" ”
“------”
Zhang Guoan changed his statement at that time, and Commander Fa Ke immediately understood.
If this man is wise, he is a good talker.
Fa Ke is really busy for a while.
Zhao Yu, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, asked him to be responsible for installing the stone cannon on the Lin'an city wall.
He handed over the training of the arquebus battalion to a commander, and he took the craftsmen up and down the city wall to measure the distance, studying the bearing capacity of the wall.
The maximum counterweight of this stone cannon is 100 stones, so it can't be sloppy.
At last they came to the conclusion that if the whole wall had been strengthened and forty-eight stone cannons were used, and that if eight hundred arquebusmen were borrowed with bows and crossbow archers, fifty thousand men would not be able to attack the city!
Because the forty-eight stone cannons were divided into different types, and the large stone cannons were to hit targets four hundred paces away; Small and medium-sized stone cannons are targets that hit 100 to 200 paces, and instead of hitting stone balls, they are cast iron balls with black fire/medicine inside!
In the past, their Thunderbolt could only be wrapped in lime in paper, and that was due to the lack of black fire/potion power, and the projection power of the bed crossbow was also insufficient.
Compared to the bed crossbow, the advantages of the stone cannon are revealed.
It is not as delicate as a bed crossbow, because it is worried that the crossbow string will become soft due to moisture, and it has to be kept separately, and the projection power is not enough.
When the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty got the report of the leader of Fa Ke, no one doubted the truth, and everyone laughed and laughed.
The possibility of Fa Ke's promotion is much greater.
However, during a ranging time, he fainted. (To be continued.) )
