Well, she obviously still cares about the few not-so-glamorous scratches on her face.

"Ah, the master is back."

The two women, Luzhu and Chun Tao, who were dozing off on the table next to them, got up and saluted in a hurry.

Jia Rudao pointed to the thin line at the corner of Chun Tao's mouth and sat down beside Xu Ruoxi.

"The scratches on this face were scratched by Shi Zhenxiang's crazy woman."

Hearing Jia Rudao's words that were obviously explanations, a seductive arc appeared at the corner of Xu Ruoxi's mouth, glanced at Chun Tao, who was embarrassed and busy wiping her saliva, sat down slowly, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Jia Rudao, and said slowly: "Why did Xianggong have trouble with Sister Zhenxiang?" “

"Ahem, ahem...... Sister Zhenxiang? Do you know that crazy woman? ”

When Jia Rudao heard Xu Ruoxi's words, he almost didn't squirt out the tea in his mouth, and looked at Xu Ruoxi with a shocked face.

"Slow down, Sister Zhenxiang is very good, what kind of crazy woman is she." Xu Ruoxi glared at Jia Rudao with disgust.

"You say she's nice? You...... She loves ...... She didn't do anything to you, did she? ”

Jia Yidao's eyes widened, and he looked Xu Ruoxi up and down nervously. After all, he still didn't directly say that Shi Zhenxiang likes women.

Hearing Jia Rudao's words, Xu Ruoxi's flawless pretty face instantly flew with red glow. Although Jia Rudao didn't make it clear, Xu Ruoxi obviously knew the fact that Shi Zhenxiang liked women.

"Xianggong...... Where did you think of it? ”

Under embarrassment and urgency, Xu Ruoxi stretched out his hand and slammed two fists on Jia Rudao's shoulder, and said urgently.

Seeing a little daughter like Xu Ruoxi for the first time, Jia Rudao couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

"Xianggong...... The concubine is different from Sister Zhenxiang and others. ”

Xu Ruoxi, who was already embarrassed, didn't know where to put his face when he was looked at by Jia Nidao's burning eyes, and thought that Jia Nidao still didn't believe it, so he hurriedly explained.

"What's the difference?"

"The concubine and Sister Zhenxiang are sisters...... Xianggong ......"

Seeing the narrow smile on Jia Rudao's face, Xu Ruoxi instantly understood that this hateful person was deliberately teasing himself. Bo turned around angrily, but he didn't want to talk to Jia anymore.

For Xu Ruoxi, Jia Rudao teased her with such a thing, but she couldn't bear it.

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding. Why are you still angry? You know that crazy woman...... Shi Zhenxiang, you didn't tell me, how do I know the way? Besides, she does like women, you know. I'm worried she's supposed to be. ”

Jia Rudao slammed over Xu Ruoxi's body, forced her to face herself, and explained.

"Sister Zhenxiang, this is too much to ignore."

After all, it is still a husband, Xu Ruoxi saw the red and glamorous scratches on Jia Rudao's face, and her willow eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

"I'm afraid that she will count all the new and old grudges together, and give you anger by the way."

Jia Rudao understood at this time, why Shi Zhenxiang was so hateful at the first sight of him, and she still had this relationship with Xu Ruoxi. However, it is hard to imagine that Shi Zhenxiang's woman would not hook up with Xu Ruoxi, who is like a flower and jade.

Is he afraid of being beaten by Xu Ruoxi?

"New feuds and old grudges?" Hearing Jia Rudao's words, Xu Ruoxi covered her mouth and chuckled, but her eyes flashed with a hint of happiness.

Before this, Xu Ruoxi never thought that the person he hated the most would one day be able to get along with him face-to-face like this, and sleep in the same bed at night.

However, the old grudge is still said in the past, where does the new grudge come from?

Feeling Xu Ruoxi's puzzled eyes, Jia Rudao was a little embarrassed, isn't this digging a hole for himself.

"Eh, Nalan Yu, you've seen it before. Your sister Zhenxiang has been pestering her, so I pulled out a knife to help her escape from the clutches of your sister Zhenxiang. ”

Hearing Jia Nidao's words, Xu Ruoxi didn't have any abnormal color, but just glanced at Jia Nidao deeply and said, "Has Xianggong ever eaten?" The concubine asked Chun Tao to heat up the meal. ”

"Didn't I ask Jia Quan'er to send a message back and say that I had eaten in the palace? Haven't you eaten yet? ”

"The concubine has eaten, and I ate it with Mr. Mo and Miss A Ruan."

"They...... All asleep? ”

"Well, Xianggong still has something to see Mr. Mo?"

"Nope! No. Isn't it time for us to go to sleep too? Jia Rudao looked at Xu Ruoxi, although it was serious, but the fluttering eyes made Xu Ruoxi's cheeks fly again in an instant.

"You see that Chun Tao and Lu Zhu are drooling sleepily, aren't they?"

Jia seems to be like a way to cover up.

"Xianggong ......"

"Old man......"

"Ha Lu Ha! Go to sleep! ”

……

In the second year of Jiaxi, at the end of March, Zhao Yun issued edicts one after another in less than a few days.

First of all, he issued an edict ordering the general to be the Mongolian envoy, responsible for the border boundary, name, and year of the border between Mongolia and Song and Song with the upcoming Mongolian envoy; On the same day after the edict ordered the general to be the prisoner Zhou Ci and said that he was the Mongolian envoy, Zhao Yun ordered Meng Heng to be the deputy envoy of Jinghu to pacify and set up the system, and placed Si Songzi County.

The day after these two edicts, Li Xinchuan, the imperial historian of the palace, was ordered to be the secretary and young eunuch and the history museum to revise and be responsible for the revision of the "National History" and "Actual Records" of the four dynasties of Gaozong, Xiaozong, Guangzong and Ningzong. Also on this day, the edict was again issued to promote the imperial history of the palace Gao Dingzi as the middle scholar and the military counselor of Jinghu Jiangxi.

Three days later, Zhao Yun once again issued an edict ordering Shi Songzhi, the governor of the governor's affairs, and Shi Songzhi, the privy envoy of the same knowledge, to supervise the affairs of the five states such as Guang, Qi, Huang, Kui, and Shi; Yu Tianxi, the Ministry of Household Affairs, issued 2 million yuan in Lin'an City and 9 million yuan in Huguang; It was decreed that the Junfu Town of Junfu County, which had been subjected to the war in Sichuan, would not be rebuilt, but would be a place for transfer to forced labor, and all prisoners in custody in Sichuan would be released if the circumstances were minor; Under the edict, the Sichuan marshals recruited displaced people and resettled them, provided seeds and cattle, gave relief, and exempted taxes.

Except for the edict of Ru Na Xiu Shi, which made Jia Nidao a little unclear, most of the rest, Jia Nidao didn't feel much surprised after hearing it.

The only surprise was that the general supervisor Zhou Ci said that my Mongolian envoy was responsible for the negotiation and reception with the upcoming Mongolian envoys, which really made Jia Yidao a little crying and laughing.

Letting an official in charge of all kinds of gold, silver and jade embroidery and carving negotiate with the Mongols was also a loss to Zhao Yun to come up with.

Obviously, the Great Song Dynasty, which was already preparing for the Battle of Xiangyang, basically did not take the Mongol envoys who were about to come to the peace talks seriously. And negotiating with the Mongols is obviously a thankless job, and no one will do such a job. Therefore, Zhao Yun was helpless, so he pushed Zhou Ci, who did not have any backstage, out of the top cylinder.

and promoted Yu Shi Gao Dingzi to be a member of the Zhongshu She, Jinghu Jiangxi Governor and Counselor Military; Shi Songzhi supervised the military and horse affairs of the five states, such as Guang, Qi, Huang, Kui, and Shi; A series of actions such as the release of Huizi are obviously to prepare for the upcoming Battle of Xiangyang.

What really shocked Jia Yidao was the meeting with a total circulation of 11 million yuan in Lin'an and Huguang, which proved from the side how empty the Hubu treasury has been;

At that time, the Great Song Dynasty, which already accounted for nearly sixty percent of the total economic output of the entire world, had a huge treasury so empty that it could not even support a medium-sized war. It is also necessary to issue the Huizi with a huge difference between the actual denomination and the actual value to raise military funds, grain and grass, etc., how shocking should the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty be today?

The people of the Great Song Dynasty hid a huge amount of wealth, which of those landlords, gentry and businessmen was not rich and rivaled by the country? However, the imperial court can only rely on the issuance of meetings to extract their wealth from ordinary people, which is not too much.

Everyone knew that these imperial court issues would last no more than a few days, and then their value would plummet and become less and less valuable. But there was no way, and I had to use it. These associations could not have done any harm to the landlords, gentry, and businessmen who were so rich and rivaled the country, but instead provided more opportunities for those who had a large amount of gold, silver, copper, coins and other physical currencies to oppress the common people.

In fact, every time the meeting was issued, it was not the Great Song Dynasty that made the most profits, but their rich landlords, gentry and big merchants.

If you want to say that those important ministers in the court don't know this fact, he won't believe it if he kills Jia Yidao. On the contrary, many of the ministers of the DPRK and China were among those big landlords, gentry and businessmen.

For those edicts in Sichuan, although they are all on the surface, I think Zhao Yun must have made arrangements in secret. You don't have to think about it to know that the road is an arrangement made for the situation in Dali.

Well, in the final analysis, what the current imperial decree has to do with his small subordinate Sipin Baohe Palace. Even if he had a thousand thoughts in his heart, Jia Rudao knew that there was no way to do it.

These days, Jia seems to be more idle. At least in the eyes of the old craftsmen of the Ordnance Supervisor, this person at the helm of the Captain of the Light Vehicle, the Baohe Palace, the General Judgment of the Lin'an Mansion, and the Ordnance Supervisor is really a little idle.

The ordnance supervisor was deprived of the authority of ordnance casting during the Ning Zong Dynasty, and now the ordnance casting is under the supervision of the ordnance department of the Ministry of War. The ordnance supervisor has instead become a place for storing talents and providing for the elderly.

Reserve talents, and the talents of the stores are naturally those Jinshi and the first who have not been awarded the real shortage of the previous Jinshi; Pension, said to be pension, is actually a luxury. Those old craftsmen who have worked in the ordnance prison all their lives are excluded from the military flag, and there is nowhere else to go, so they can only stay in the ordnance prison and rely on their ancestral craftsmanship to survive.

Naturally, there is no salary. These aged craftsmen had to rely on the occasional private work of the ministers of the court and even the wealthy gentry of the capital to survive.

In the eyes of the old people who have been worrying about what to eat for the next meal most of the time in the past year, this uncle has nothing to do with the imperial court every day, and he does not go to the office, but has to go to the ordnance prison to tinker with the east and the west, and get some things that even the old guys who have dealt with all kinds of utensils all their lives don't understand, what is this young magnate thinking in his head, what is it that is not idle?

Look at what that brocade robe looks like when it's all black? How could a scholar and a prominent minister in the court do such a thing? In the eyes of those craftsmen who have stayed in the weapons prison all their lives and have reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, Jia Rudao is already an important minister.

Of course, not all the veteran craftsmen of the Ordnance Prison think so. For example, Sun Wei, Yang Shuo and other four or five old craftsmen who were surrounding Jia Rudao at this moment.

"My lord, it's done."

Sun Wei was lying on his humble bench with a dirty strange thing, and shouted excitedly at Jia Yidao who was squatting beside him.

"It's finished?"

Jia Rudao stretched out his hand to take the black object in Sun Wei's hand, which was really not very good-looking, and looked at it carefully.

If there is a modern person, you can see at a glance that what Jia Rudao is holding in his hand at this moment is the most common revolver in later generations. Of course, the revolver in Jia Rudao's hand is obviously more than one size larger than the delicate and small revolver in later generations, and as for the workmanship, it is naturally even worse than 108,000 miles, and it looks more like a burning stick that is not long enough.

That's right, this is a large pistol made by these old craftsmen of the Ordnance Supervisor according to Jia Yidao's meaning and a few sketches that are not very clear, and it took several days of hard work to polish it by hand.

"My lord, this, the villains have done their best."

Seeing Jia Rudao looking at the ugly burning stick pistol in his hand over and over again, Sun Wei and the others looked embarrassed. After pushing each other, Sun Wei rubbed his dirty and unseemly white beard and said embarrassedly.

"No, no, Old Sun, I'm already very satisfied."

Hearing Sun Wei's words, and then looking at the few old craftsmen around who have been busy with this thing day and night in the past few days, Jia seems to know that a few people have misunderstood, and hurriedly smiled and waved his hand.

"It's just, Old Sun, how do you use this thing?"

After looking at it for a long time, Jia Rudao still didn't understand where to load the bullets in this specious revolver, well, the bullets don't have to be thought, at least the gunpowder must have a place to be loaded, is it possible to load it from the barrel? Then what did you spend so much effort to get this thing for?

"My lord, please see, this is the ammunition made by the little old man and a few people according to the will of the adults." Sun Wei said as he took a bag of things from Yang Shuo next to him.

Jia Rudao took it in his hand and poured it out, and found that it was a bag of iron beads that were a few points smaller than the belly of his little finger. Just gunpowder? Can't you just use this iron bead to hit it?

As if seeing Jia Yidao's doubts, Sun Wei hurriedly handed over a long strip of neatly arranged things that were only knuckle lengths. Jia Rudao touched it with his hand and said in surprise: "This is gunpowder rolled up with paper?" ”

"My lord! That's it! ”

"So how do you use this thing? I mean, how do I put it here...... Something inside? Jia Rudao shook the burning stick in his hand, a little puzzled. Because he saw that there was a hub on the belly of the gun, but he didn't see that the hub was coming down.

"My lord, how about the little old man?"

Sun Wei rubbed his rough palms, a little eager to try.

To be honest, he himself was very curious about this thing. Immersed in firearms for decades, Sun Wei knew very well that if the idea of this uncle was successful, then if it was used in the rest of the long firearms of the Great Song Dynasty, the changes it brought would make people tremble when they thought about it.

Seeing this, Jia Rudao hurriedly handed the burning stick in his hand to Sun Wei.

"Look, my lord, if you want to reload gunpowder and iron balls, you have to do it." Sun Wei took it and skillfully used his hand to break it on a raised bracket on the upper part of the musket, and the bracket opened in response, and the seven-hole pistol hub suddenly appeared.

Sun Wei then lightly boarded it with his hand, and the short handle of the wooden pistol was bent downward, and the hub was completely exposed.

"My lord, these gunpowders are all configured by Yang Lao'er, and because they couldn't test the gun before, Xiao Lao'er and the others don't know whether the amount of gunpowder is more or less." Sun Wei said as he skillfully stuffed seven iron balls into the hole of the wheel, and then filled the hole with a roll of powdered strips, then closed the handle of the gun and buckled the bracket.

Carefully handed the pistol that had been filled with gunpowder and iron bullets to Jia Yi with both hands: "My lord, you must be careful, Xiao Lao'er takes the adult to test the gun?"

Obviously, Sun Wei knew very well that if Jia seemed to have some accident, he was afraid that these old guys who were already going to be buried would die. It doesn't matter if they die, the point is that they all have children and grandchildren, right? They still have to live.

Jia Rudao took the musket and weighed it in his hand, this large pistol was obviously a lot heavier.

"My lord, beware, beware!"

Seeing Jia Rudao fiddling, Sun Wei and the others felt that their little hearts trembled, and they barely squeezed out a little smile and hurriedly reminded carefully. As he spoke, he carefully guarded his hands, but he was afraid that this thing would fall and go off.

"Okay, Elder Sun, Elder Yang, let's go test the gun!"

"My lord, please come here!"

……

Of course, this range is not only for experimental firearms, although there are already various firearms in the army of the Great Song Dynasty, but cold weapons are still the mainstream, and the experimental bow and crossbow are also in this place.

"My lord, you can't do it!"

Seeing that Jia Rudao had already begun to aim with the rough object, Sun Wei's legs were almost weak, and he hurriedly stepped forward to protect him with his hand and said anxiously.

"How?"

"How can an adult's daughter be so dangerous. Xiao Lao'er and the others have made all the arrangements, and they also ask the adults to hand over this firearm to Xiao Lao'er. ”

To tell the truth, Jia Rudao was also apprehensive when he was preparing to test the gun, but it was impossible for him to let Sun Wei and these old people test the gun, and there was no absolutely safe way, so he had to prepare to go into battle in person, and at this moment he saw that Sun Wei seemed to have the intention of testing the gun himself, and hurriedly said: "Old Sun, I have a way." ”

After a while, it was enough to fix the simple test bench with a wire attached to the trigger.

"The adults are anxious and wise, and the little old men admire!"

When Sun Wei and the others saw Jia Yidao's arrangement, they naturally wouldn't be stingy.

"Hehe, this test gun ......"

"Adult, please 1"

The distance is already more than twenty steps, and there will definitely be no danger in the future, Sun Wei and the others naturally will not steal this bit of limelight with Jia Yidao, and said in unison.

"Okay, I'll come!"

Jia Rudao said and suddenly pulled the long thick cotton thread in his hand!

"Boom!"

Sparks sparked in the rising white eyes, and a loud bang resounded throughout the ordnance monitoring range.
