Opposite the Ouchi Imperial Palace, Tianxiang Building, elegant room.

Lotte, Li Gang, Yuxu, and Chen Lingyuan met.

Listening to Lotte's voice, there was dissatisfaction, Li Gang asked: "In the eyes of the Hou Ye, is there such a big difference between the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"Of course there is a difference!" Lotte nodded and asked, "Isn't Lord Li unaware of the ranking of the six parts?" ”

Different from the Tang and Ming dynasties, the six departments of the Song Dynasty were taken away by the three envoys and the Privy Council, and the traditional meaning of the six ministries is just a shell, especially the officials, soldiers, and household departments that have no actual powers.

The Ministry of Rites is responsible for court etiquette, diplomacy, imperial examinations and other affairs, and is a typical chemical department, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Chemical Affairs in later generations, and Qinggui is also recognized; The Ministry of Industry is equivalent to the Ministry of Construction in later generations, and the affairs in charge are nothing more than building bridges, paving roads, and repairing embankments. As for the criminal department, which is a judicial department, it deals with criminals, and its status is obviously not as high as that of the Ministry of Etiquette.

Understanding Lotte's intentions, Yuxu said: "What Lord Hou means is to put patent rights on the same level as science!" ”

"How not?" Lotte asked rhetorically.

Li Gang said: "The design of the steam engine and the thousand-mile ship is ingenious, and the lower officials are also amazed, but in the eyes of the hundred officials, it is just a mechanical structure, and it is a matter of course in the eyes of all officials to hand over the patent rights to the Ministry of Industry for management." ”

"Recently, Le thought about a sentence called 'change the mind and emancipate the productive forces.'" Plagiarism of the Hou Hou Ye, said a famous quote from later generations, and said with a smile: "The personnel who make the machinery are miscellaneous craftsmen, but the knowledge and knowledge involved in the construction process cannot be written even in a few books, and these knowledge and knowledge are far more complex and difficult to understand than the knowledge of the saints." ”

The knowledge involved in the steam engine is much more complicated than the Five Classics and the Four Books, and Li Gang and others also agree with what Lotte said.

Lotte continued: "With the word patent, it is more appropriate for Le Moujue to call it intellectual property!"

Chen Lingyuan shook his head: "It's just that the Son of Heaven has ordered that the patent matter has been given to the Ministry of Industry, and if you want to change it, there will be great difficulties during this period. ”

In the eyes of Li Gang and others, the reason why Lotte wants the Ministry of Rites to manage patent matters is also to put the knowledge of production technology at the same level as the knowledge of saints, and it is obvious that he has set aside the element of elevating himself.

"The Ministry of Rites of the Six Ministries is a big spender of the imperial court, and there has always been no entry and exit, and after the many patents, there are huge interests and gold and silver around the patents, and I am afraid that many people will have the idea of sharing a piece of the pie." Hearing Chen Lingyuan say this, Lotte said with a smile: "In the face of huge interests, sooner or later, the Ministry of Rites will make a move to take the patent management right in its hands!" ”

"It's just that those officials of the Ministry of Rites claim to be scholars, and they are all high and arrogant, and I am afraid that they will look down on patents if they play Qinggao!" Regarding Lotte's opinion, Yuxu disagrees.

"Scholars have a bad temper, when they are down, they say that they are useless scholars, and when they are proud, they are high-minded, and they don't take the world seriously! Lotte smiled, and said: "Those old men in the Ministry of Rites should also change their brains, and let them know that the transformation of knowledge into money is not only a low-level method of Mr. Private School teaching a few students and charging a few strings of money for tuition, but also the transformation of knowledge into productivity and the collection of intellectual property fees is the king." ”

Hearing this, Li Gang and the others smiled helplessly, but Xin Chen also admitted that the big scholar was such a beating.

Putting the patent in the Ministry of Rites, Lotte naturally has its own intentions, this dynasty emphasizes military and agriculture and light industry, and raises the empty knowledge of the saint to the point of supremacy, and Lotte will hand over the patent to the Ministry of Rites to manage, which will obviously improve the status of science and technology and distinguish it from ordinary occupations.

Putting aside the patent matter, Li Gang remembered one more thing and said: "Master Hou, in today's dynasty, in view of the current situation of the empty treasury, Wang Huangjuan set up a Jingfu room in the three provinces, which is specifically responsible for Liaobian affairs, and has nothing to do with the Privy Council. ”

Lotte exclaimed: "Side matters are not decided by the Privy Council, but exclusively by the Fufang, wouldn't the Privy Council be emptied, how can Your Majesty agree?" ”

Li Gang said: "Your Majesty should be charged, because of the war against Liao, Wang Huangzuo plans to review the world's Dingfu and plan to contribute money to maintain the war against Liao." ”

Hearing this, Lotte snorted coldly: "After all these years of tossing, now the Great Song Kingdom is poor and the people are poor, and if you continue to toss like this, aren't the officials and Wang Hao afraid of inspiring the people to revolt?" ”

Li Gang and the others also sighed, obviously thinking that this move was really inappropriate.

Lotte then asked: "Le has not been in the court for many days, and he has not heard about the affairs of the court, so I don't know how the war in the north is going on?" ”

Yu Xu is now serving as the emperor to pick the wrong thing, Yu Tianzi listened closely, naturally the corner of the military situation, said: "Fighting with the Jin people, the Liao State was defeated again and again, according to the military information ahead, after the defeat of the Tianzuo Emperor, under the pursuit of the Jin soldiers, it has not been known, the Liao people have no owner, Yan King Yeluchun was supported as the emperor by the Liao nobles in Yanjing, support the endgame, and the fall of the Liao State is only waiting to be overturned!" ”

After speaking, Yu Xuan took out a notebook from his arms and handed it to Lotte, "Master Hou, this is Tong Guan's sword before the Liao War, Master Hou might as well take a look." ”

Taking the notebook, Lotte unfolded it and saw that the face read:

Youyan's side was originally my realm, once it fell into a few hundred years. (with the other) Han Fan centrifugal, internal and external chaos, the old master has not been extinguished (Emperor Tianzuo has not died), and the new monarch is in chaos. Mourning the re-suffering of this good people, when the division (I preach the envoy) obeyed the wise order, commanded the heavy army, and was close to the border.

Asking for the guilt, the matter is to save the people, not to kill, and everyone should work hard to get to the plan as soon as possible. Those who have officials will return to the old times, and those who have land will resume their businesses as before. If you can lead the heroic heroes to stand up for the effect, that is, you should be excellent and official, and you will be given a generous gold silk; If you can return from one state or one county, you can use your state or county; If there are heroes who come to Yanjing to dedicate, they are not confined to (sticking to) the soldiers and the people, although they have not ordered the official (although they are not officials) to make the envoy of the festival, give 100,000 yuan, and the mansion is a district. However, in the hard work, with one heart, the joy of returning to the Han Yongbao and honor, and the Khitan Zhufan returning to obedience is also the same as the Han people.

Soldiers who have been given a precept are not allowed to kill a husband, or if they are unconscious, they should have other measures. All the restraints of the Khitan should be removed. Although the soldiers entered the border, the price of all the necessary grain and grass and carts and cattle did not make the Yan people prepared, and they were still exempted from taxes for two years.

"What a sprinkled squirt!" After reading it, he returned the zazi to Li Gang, and Lotte laughed, his face full of disdain: "This battle will definitely be lost!" ”

After taking the notebook, Yu Xuan exclaimed: "Why did Master Hou come here to say this? ”

"There is only the sword light and blood shadow on the battlefield, and you are dead and alive, and the rest is only a mountain of corpses and bones, how can you be merciful!" Lotte said: "Lord Li looks at this article again, the whole chapter is only full of flowery wording and full of benevolence and morality, and there is no killing atmosphere at all, how can it inspire the morale of the army."

Your Majesty and Lord Tong are thinking too much about the battle of destroying Liao, the war book has a cloud of soldiers who surrender without a fight, not to tie their hands and feet, and the end of the sentence is even more ridiculous, how to tie the hands and feet of my Great Song soldiers, how to let go and kill the enemy? ”

Listening to what Lotte said, Li Gang on the side was puzzled, and said: "Zhao Liangsi said in the court, the people of Yanyou's hometown want to return, as soon as my Great Song soldiers and horses arrive, the Liao people will open the city and return to obedience!" ”

"Ma Zhi's nonsense can also be believed, the 100,000 horses of the Great Song Dynasty are laid out on the border, and the Liao people will obediently come over?" Lotte sneered, and then said: "Le led hundreds of thousands of troops to surround Xingqing Mansion back then, and Li Qianshun, who was surrounded by regiments, was not unwilling to surrender, and there are still remnants of the party in Lingxia who are in turmoil from time to time, and half of the Western Army has been trapped in Lingxia to the death. ”

Hearing Lotte's words, Li Gang's face was solemn: "According to the words of the Hou Ye, this battle against Liao and my Great Song Dynasty will undoubtedly be defeated?" ”

Lotte shook his head and sighed: "The officials of the temple, as well as the officials of the front army, have no sense of hostility, how can they be invincible if they are so lazy?" ”

Chen Lingyuan, who was on the side, couldn't accept the result given by Lotte, and retorted: "The commander has won many battles in the northwest, and there is such a good general......"

"There has been no war for a hundred years, how can the Hebei Forbidden Army be with the Western Army of the Division of a Hundred Battles, there are good generals but no good soldiers, what can be done?" Without waiting for Chen Lingyuan to finish speaking, Lotte began to shake his head and smile bitterly.

(The content of one chapter has been corrected due to network errors!) ”

After finishing speaking, Lotte looked at Li Gang, Yuxu, and Chen Lingyuan, and continued to shake his head and said with a wry smile: "Le Mou made a bet with the three adults, or it won't be long before Tong Guan will play the court and pour bitter water, complaining that the military discipline of the Hebei Zhulu Forbidden Army is not strict and the ordnance is not in order." ”

……

At the same time, when he arrived in Hebei, Tong Guan had a sad face at this moment, and the war readiness situation in Hebei opened his eyes to Tong Guan, who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and immediately asked his staff member Dong Yun to write a letter to Zhao Ji.

Soon the song was passed to Biandu, and Zhao Ji opened it only to see that the song was written:

The ministers obeyed the wise training, paid the north affairs, and tried their best to worry about it, and they were afraid that they would not be able to catch it, and they would live up to the weight of the commission. Yesterday in the first month, the Jurchen went to Beijing, and Yu Jian (name) went to the clouds: "When the Khitan divided the strength of the Jurchens, I took the opportunity to enter the army and recover the resources of the province. "The ministers came to the north with an edict, doubled the road in the starry night, and went to Gaoyang Pass on April 23 to prepare for the march. It was seen that the generals of Heshuo were arrogant and lazy, and did not train the enemy army, so they had no use.

For example, although the military rations are said: Seeing that they are too coarse to eat, they must spin and spin only half of them. More in the distance, will lose the effort. Although the weapons are very short (the same is missing), although in Taiyuan, Daimyo, and Kaide branches, the seals are insufficient, or not applicable, as for the equipment built by the land and the things that the city guards are not prepared.

Gai Heshuo has not tried to talk about the army for 200 years, and once he is in a hurry, it is quite difficult to blame. The minister heard that the soldiers and civilians of Yizhou stretched their necks and led troops to sacrifice the fortress. and the future of the western soldiers, but did not dare to respond, causing him to be suspicious......

After reading the whole story, the look on Zhao Ji's face couldn't help but become solemn.

Since the alliance between Lanyuan and Song Liao, Song and Liao have formed a brotherly country, and Yanyou, Hebei has not had a war for a hundred years.

The result after the longest period of peace, Tong Guan saw that the generals of Heshuo were arrogant and did not train the enemy. The army has been in peacetime for a long time, untrained, arrogant and lazy. There is no use for it. There is nothing to ask for military supplies, and their military rations are only half of what they are on the books at best.

In short, Heshuo has not fought for more than 100 years, and relying on such an army to fight, once the war starts, I am afraid that it will be a mistake.

The situation in front of him, Tong Guan's self-confidence was hit all of a sudden, after all, he had led the army for more than 20 years, and this situation was not optimistic, so he couldn't help but be cautious.
