Speaking of this, Lu Yijian sighed before continuing: "Now that there are many people talking about reform, it seems that the king ordered the removal of a few rulers, and replaced them with a few people, but I don't know that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and some things cannot be changed by subordinates. Don't talk about it from afar, just say that the alliance of the abyss is the heart disease of the first emperor, and since then, he has been very gracious. Which emperor dared to say that he would never be endowed? But the first emperor dared, regardless of how the country should raise money and food. This is true for the small people, and it is even more natural to be more indiscriminate to the noble ministers, and the guilty are forgiven, and the greedy ink pretends not to be invisible, but it is just to gag people's mouths. ”

Next is the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian (Liu E) to listen to the government. Now it is said that Empress Dowager Zhang Xian has the talent of Lu Wu and does not have the evil of Lu Wu, but when she hung the curtain, how many people compared Lu Wu to her. In order to appease people's hearts, the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian also has to make a lot of money, and some people know that it is not a good thing but can't move it, and they still want to win it over. Otherwise, as soon as Fan Xiwen and them provoke trouble, these people will take the opportunity to make trouble, and Empress Dowager Zhang Xian has Lu Wuzhicai, which is their best excuse. Although his father is the prime minister, he has many scruples in every act, and once he makes a big move, he is afraid that the court will be in chaos first. ”

"It has been nearly 40 years since the first emperor was generous in the city, and the state has long been taken for granted inside and outside the court. But the reform will cut off their wealth, will they be willing? They don't know how much trouble they will make. Now that the treasury is empty, and there are Liao people and Xia thieves eyeing each other, how to clean up if there is a mess? ”

Lu Gongqiu had never heard his father praise or disparage the emperor, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked for a long time: "What does that ......father mean?"

"The safest way to do this today is to calm down and then slowly figure it out. What I am most afraid of is that the officials don't know the severity, and they will make a big move when they are bewitched. Fan Xiwen and Han Zhigui have never broken off the book, but they can guess what they want to say as a father, so even if they are in a high position and a father, they are not worried. Only Li Buqi will say something, how to say that he is a father, but there are countless in his heart, but the partial official family trusts Li Buqi more and more. What worries my father is that I don't know what Li Buqi will say, once the ambition of the official family is stirred, then the Great Song Ke will have a lot of things from now on. ”

"Oh, that's it? The son understood. ”

Lu Yijian saw that it was not early and went back to the house to rest, and he had to go to the court tomorrow, and the prime minister needed to be escorted, and the etiquette should not be negligent at all, and it was also a very energy-consuming thing. Lu Gongxuan sent his father back to the house, but sat in the corridor in a daze.

The father said, "Don't say anything about the far one", and only said the true sect that is near, and Liu Eshien messed up the court. Far away, Taizu took the world of the old boss's family, Taizong had the "axe sound and candle shadow", and there were two defeats in Liao, how should Taizu Taizong be kind in order to block the mouth of the people in the world? It's scary to think about. A hundred years of city grace, the habit is deep-rooted, who can change it?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

————————————————————

The time has entered November, and Li Buqi is still busy with his huge work, and you can also read the article of the capital scholar scolding the prime minister. The Zaizhi were busy discussing the terms of peace with the Western Xia, and there were many things at the end of the year, and there were ceremonies such as sacrificing to the heavens, so they couldn't take care of him for a while. On the contrary, the news that Li Buqi showed the articles of the scholars to the emperor has spread, and now the scholars are scolding him for not learning and not daring to debate, so he can only use the emperor and the ruler to suppress others. Therefore, the verbal and written criticism of Li Buqi has risen to a new height.

Li Buqi didn't bother to pay attention to this, and even reduced his going out. He didn't say anything, those scholars couldn't find Li Bu to be an opponent, so for the sake of face, they had to continue to fight with Zaizhi, and the excitement continued.

Li Buqi didn't go out, but Cao Tong and a group of nobles ran to Li Buqi all day long. They had already obtained a lot of iron and found a skilled craftsman who would be the supervisor to make the wire. This is high-tech in the era of the Great Song Dynasty, originally Li Buqi estimated that there would be no great progress for a while and a half, who would have thought that the craftsmen would really draw a steel wire more than two meters long - in terms of toughness, elasticity, and strength, this thing can really be regarded as a steel wire.

I really admire the craftsmen of this era. Using these craftsmen well is definitely like digging a bonanza.

Although the price of this section of steel wire is expensive, as long as there is no problem solved, the cost can be reduced by continuing to research. Let the nobles pay for it.

A section of the steel pipe was also made. The steel blocks are hammered into steel plates and then rolled on iron rods and hammered until the edges of the steel plates are almost fused together, and I don't know how much labor is used.

Any new thing is bound to be expensive when it is first made, and can only be a toy for the rich. But as long as this thing turns out to be useful, there will naturally be people who will figure out how to manufacture it in large quantities, and the cost will gradually decrease.

Now it seems that the situation is good, only throwing a glider that I don't know if it can fly, Li Buqi has obtained the technology and craftsmanship to make steel wires and steel pipes, and the most important thing is that it did not cost Li Buqi a penny.

But steel wires and steel pipes are not enough, Li Buqi also needs bearings. In order to make the bearing as soon as possible, he drew a sketch, and the rest of the work was believed to be completed by these idle nobles.

——————————————————————

The Winter Solstice Emperor completed the ritual of sacrificing to the sky, and it is said that he almost fell ill with frostbite, and when he entered the month of Layue, his health was slightly better, and he summoned Li Buqi again.

"Li does not give up, the imperial court has decided to make peace talks between Pang Yuzhi and Yuan Hao. This is the condition for making peace with Yuan Hao, can you see it? ”

Li Buqi took the chapter and looked at it, and saw that it was similar to what he had heard, that the Great Song Dynasty would give 50,000 taels of silver to Xixia, 100,000 horses of silk, and 20,000 catties of tea every year, and to give Xixia silver silk for various festivals, especially another 10,000 catties of tea. I have to give 30,000 catties of tea to Xixia a year, so do the people over there in Xixia still need to buy tea from the Great Song Dynasty?

Yuan Hao can even use these teas to win over other tribes, so how can the tea and horse trade be played?

If the emperor didn't ask, since the emperor asked, Li Buqi immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, this condition is to destroy my Great Song Dynasty, and you can't make a contract on this condition!" ”

Zhao Zhen saw that Li Buqi reacted so strongly and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Buqi not only felt that there was too much tea for the Xixia people, but he also felt that he had given too much silver silk. However, he also knew that the three defeats in three years had completely destroyed the spirit of the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers, and almost everyone in the court and China now wanted to destroy their wealth and avoid disasters, so it was impossible to completely overturn this condition.

Therefore, Li Buqi only grasped the item of tea: "Your Majesty, the kid thinks that there is too much tea for Yuan Hao." Yuan Hao's request for so much tea shows the importance of tea to them. Fan people have no money to barter, no silk silk can wear animal skin linen, but there is no tea and can not be replaced by other things, can only be exchanged with the Great Song with the things designated by the Great Song Dynasty.

If we don't give Yuan Hao tea, we can exchange tea for people's horses; Give Yuan Hao 30,000 catties of tea, but Yuan Hao can use this tea with no capital to buy other tribes on the border of the Great Song Dynasty to be enemies of me, at least not to sell me the horses of the Great Song Dynasty. Cavalry battles could not be organized without horses. The difference between gain and loss is life and death. ”

Zhao Zhen took out the basic folds from the case, glanced at it and said, "What you said is also reasonable." It's just that the cost of raising horses is too great, and the effect is not good, and all the secretaries think it is inappropriate. If you stop fighting with Yuan Hao, there is no need to raise so many horses. ”

War horses are ancient tanks and armored vehicles, in the case of Liao and Xia putting so much pressure on the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty has been defeated repeatedly, there are people who think there are too many war horses? Li Buqi was stunned: "Your Majesty, the kid doesn't know what the truth is. ”

Zhao Zhen tapped a few books with his fingers: "Look at what these Qing families say." ”
