Zhao Zhong took out a "Scorebook" from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, please see, in addition to Jia Xian, the other nine of the ten Jinshi of the First Class have already gone to Jixian Hall to participate in the compilation of laws. They were worthy of the essence of our dynasty, and quickly became familiar with the whole process, and each of them chose a law of interest to correct, and they all performed well. ”

This kind of work must be a piece of cake for people who are the material of the champions, and the reason why Zhao Zhen put them there is completely to familiarize them with these laws first, after all, good laws must also be promoted, right!

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Let's talk about the Jinshi situation of the second grade!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! The twenty jinshi of the second class did not make any mistakes, and they all attended a two-month short training at the Royal Academy, which was rushing to all directions, and they were accompanied by some students who graduated from the Royal Academy this year, and they will all start teaching and educating people in the newly built colleges. ”

"When you mentioned the Academy, I remembered that I hadn't paid attention to it for a while. The recital on the Ministry of Rites is also relatively simple, you can tell me about it! ”

"Back to the emperor, according to the reports from various places, it is basically implemented according to your intentions. In addition to the separate construction of colleges in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the remaining 19 roads are basically based on the more famous local academies, integrating the local academies, so as to form the branch of the Royal Academy. The minister speculated that it may be because the number of students and teachers in places other than the Gyeonggi area is still insufficient, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites came up with this solution. ”

"Well, it looks like they're still using their brains! Backward education is a big problem, don't look at the fact that there are a few scholars around the capital now, this has to be left in a remote place, and it is estimated that you will not see a single one for half a day. Think about it, there is still a shortage of talents, and those of them who are admitted to the Jinshi all want to be officials, and no one wants to teach and educate people, I have to make this decision, I hope they can perform well in the past three years! After three years, I will be able to train more people to replace them. You can do something for me again, and count how many private schools there are in my dynasty and so on! ”

"Obey the order!"

"Eh, don't be busy! The situation of the top three jinshi has not been said yet! ”

"Uh...... As soon as the minister heard the task, he was excited. Your Majesty, you have to calm down when you hear it! The situation of these top three jinshi may not be good, perhaps because they feel that what they are going to do has nothing to do with reading, unlike the first and second class who always hold books. Therefore, they are not very attentive when they learn agricultural knowledge in the academy, and even ridicule the teachers you have found, and let those old people who have farmed and cultivated the land all their lives teach them these proud sons, they may feel too aggrieved! ”

Although this situation had long been expected by Zhao Zhen, he still sighed: "Now these scholars, one by one, have sharpened their heads and want to enter the court as officials, although they are all full of economy, and they are also talking endlessly, but they don't understand the situation of the people at all!" In any case, our DPRK is still an agricultural country, so how can the future ministers of the DPRK and China not understand agricultural affairs! I still don't believe it, and I can't choose a few people who can use it. Just keep a record and let them go! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! The minister always remembers your orders, only records, and never interferes! ”

Zhao Zhen looked at it and nodded with satisfaction, he liked an obedient person like him. Well, speaking of this obedience, it seems that Li Yuanhao's kid is very disobedient, if I remember correctly, his father is about to burp, and when this baby comes on stage, he will definitely go against himself. Thinking of this, he asked again: "What has that old guy Li Deming been doing lately?" But what's the news? ”

"Back to the emperor, according to the news from the secret agent, Li Deming stays at home every day, and he is so old that he can't walk. But his son Li Yuanhao was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and in recent years he had been fighting outside, first fearing the Uighurs, and now he was looking for the stubble of Tibet. It is expected that his next target of attack will be the Tuosi Mabu who trades with us, and over the years, the Tuosi Mabu has also saved a lot of money as a middleman, and has also attracted many Tubo tribes to form an alliance, but it has also attracted Li Yuanhao's attention. ”

"What about their respective armaments? Can the Asa be resist it? Zhao Zhen is still more concerned about this issue, after all, for the Great Song Dynasty, the western line is almost the only war horse import line, and it is precisely because of their existence that this reorganized field army can form a large-scale cavalry.

Zhao Zhen walked to his secret room and rummaged through it for a while, before he walked out with the information: "Your Majesty, according to the latest news, Li Yuanhao's strength is no longer to be underestimated. Moreover, he also has a heavy cavalry unit of 3,000 people under his hands, which is expanded from the previous Iron Harrier, all of them are extraordinary, although they can't catch up with our special combat team, but once they put on heavy armor, they are not afraid of bows and crossbows, do not mess up the formation, and the impact is extremely strong. Whenever there is a battle, this heavy cavalry will charge into battle, disrupt the opponent's position, and its infantry will take the opportunity to strangle, almost winning every battle!

Although the Tuosi Mabu has formed an alliance and can gather nearly 100,000 soldiers, it is far behind in terms of equipment and soldiers' combat power. Chen thought that if he relied on the terrain, he might be able to deal with Li Yuanhao for several years, after all, their terrain was quite high, and not everyone could adapt to it immediately. If you can take advantage of Li Yuanhao's foothold in the early stage of the war, it would be best to force him back, if he gets used to it, then Desi Mabe is definitely not an opponent! ”

Zhao Zhen knocked his fingers on the table while frowning and said: "It seems that this problem is still a little tricky, although Tubo has the advantage of terrain, but it is precisely because of this that they are not good at building cities, so there is no danger to defend!" Let's think about it, you go down first! ”

Zhao Zhong saluted and quietly walked into the secret room.

"Xiao Shunzi, go and call Master Zeng Gongliang and Master Ding Du!" After Zhao Zhen thought for a moment, he instructed Xiao Shunzi.

During the period when Xiao Shunzi called people, Zhao Zhen wrote another holy decree and sent the guards to the Privy Council.

The privy envoy Zhang Yaozuo received the holy decree, and did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately sent a herald and galloped to the north.

Zeng Gongliang: "The ministers see the emperor!" ”

Ding Du: "The ministers see the emperor!" ”

"The two Aiqing are here! Come, sit down and speak! Zhao Zhen waited for him to sit down before picking up the information just now and handed it to him: "Look at this information, I want to ask you if there is any way to restrain these heavy cavalry?" ”

Zeng Gongliang carefully read all the information that recorded Li Yuanhao's use of troops: "Back to the emperor, as far as the minister knows, if you want to deal with this kind of pure heavy cavalry, even the infantry armor of our dynasty can't bear it. To say that this heavy cavalry is indeed domineering, can fight, resist and charge, the minister feels that if he wants to deal with them, he has to start with their weaknesses. But with this kind of heavy cavalry, their endurance must be limited, and in one case, the horse's legs are a defect that they cannot avoid in any case. In this regard, the minister had three ideas, one of which was to consume their endurance by maneuvering at high speed, and presumably the light cavalry of the field army could be capable of this. Second, you can think of attacking its legs, like a tripping horse or a pit, as well as our grenades and thunderbolts. Third, the minister thinks that there is a best way, that is, to fight with it, of course, not to use people to block, the minister sees that there is such a thing as a chariot recorded in the ancient books, can we also get this thing out? Your Majesty, if you need it, the minister will be happy to help! ”

"I think you're trying to get a weapon, you're crazy! I want to get everything out when I see it, just those wooden shelves, how to move it, Aiqing, are you going to pull it out? ”

"Hey, hey! Just say it, if you don't like it, forget it! Anyway, we have a way to kill them, you don't have to worry! ”

"I've never worried about this, I'm worrying about other people's thoughts! Every year, we only import war horses from them, and although the number is small, it is better than nothing. But according to reports, this restless Li Yuanhao seems to be getting rid of Si Mabe's attention, and I'm worried that they won't be able to bear it! ”

Ding Du asked, "I don't know what the emperor has planned?" ”

"I definitely can't let Li Yuanhao's kid succeed, it's best to let him fight with Tuo Si Ma to lose both, if I can take this opportunity to get more benefits with Tuo Si Mabu, it would be great, oh ho ho ......ho What do you two mean by looking at me? Do you think that if you can do a little bit, I will use such hard work every day to calculate others? ”

"Your Majesty, don't say it, the minister has absolutely no other meaning, this is admiration for your eyes, that's right, it's admiration!" Zeng Gongliang and Ding Du immediately put away their disdainful eyes and praised insincerely.

"Well, that's pretty much it! I'm coming to you today because I'm feeling a sense of crisis, and it's time to take out your 'Hundred Tigers Running Together' to test the effect. Also, how is your rocket launcher going? ”

"Back to the emperor, you can rest assured, it's all right. Chen and Lord Ding changed it according to your opinion, and now they can fly thousands of meters away, but they are a bit off! But don't worry, the ministers have found the problem, that is, the bamboo tube used to hold gunpowder is not exactly the same size, and the bamboo tube will be burned when the gunpowder is burned, which causes the rockets launched to fly everywhere. The ministers are going to try it with a very thin iron cylinder next, but they are a little worried that the iron cylinder will not be too heavy, which will affect the distance of the flight......

"Don't worry, you try slowly! You also open your mind a little, not that you have to fly with gunpowder, if you can find a material that burns quickly and does not explode easily, it can completely replace gunpowder. You have to pay attention to the principle of exploration, the reason why the rocket can fly is completely because of the hot gas emitted by violent combustion is propelled, don't just blindly imitate, think more with your brain, you know? ”

"Obey the emperor's teachings! Ministers must use their brains more! ”

"Well, don't just talk about it, I want to see what you actually do. I have called you this time mainly because I have something to discuss with the two of you. As you can see, firearms are becoming more and more powerful, and if this continues, they will soon replace the current cold weapons and even change the pattern of warfare. In order to meet the needs of the development of firearms, I felt that more gunpowder factories and firearms factories should be opened to produce more gunpowder, grenades and shells, otherwise it would not be possible to conduct large-scale battles with the current production alone. Let's take a look at the two of you, and see who is in charge of this? ”

The two inked for a while, and finally Ding Du, who was more calm, took over the errand.

Zhao Zhen saw that the two of them had settled down, so he handed some of the plans he had written to Ding Du and asked him to build a large gunpowder factory and an arsenal in the Jingxi Industrial Park. For safety reasons, the location of this gunpowder factory was chosen in the middle of nowhere, separated by a mountain from other places.

"I have a blueprint for the design of the ballista, and its principle is a little different from what we are using now, so you can study and study it, and transplant its burst design to our ballista!" Zhao Zhen took out a drawing of a European ballista from the drawer that he accidentally remembered some time ago, and handed it to Zeng Gongliang.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you use a crossbow arm on this drawing? Could it be that the strength of this cow's tendon twisting is greater than the strength of our crossbow arm? Zeng Gongliang glanced at the drawings, and saw through this continuous structure at a glance, it was nothing more than that the hinge design was different from his own, and he could change it, but the crossbow arm design on the drawings made him not understand very well.

"This crossbow arm design is a compromise when there is no suitable elastic crossbow arm material like ours, and the power may not be able to catch up with our crossbow arm, so it should give you the right to expand your ideas. It's getting late, so go back and get ready! ”

"Wait for the resignation!"

A few days later, the heralds sent by Zhang Yaozuo finally arrived at the camp of the Yongning Army, and Zhi Weizheng came to receive the order with the generals in his busy schedule.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, transfer Yang Jinhua, the captain of the Qilin Guard Infantry Brigade, to the catapult brigade as the captain, and the original captain of the catapult brigade was exchanged with him. The catapult brigade and the longbow brigade were ordered to hand over the weapons to the border guards, and all the soldiers were immediately brought back to the Gyeonggi Kirin guard camp by Yang Jinhua to wait for arrangement. Chin this! ”

"Thanksgiving to the ministers!"

Zhi Weizheng took the holy decree and asked the herald, "This young general, but what happened in the capital?" ”

The herald tilted his head and thought, "Back to my lord, I haven't heard anything about it!" ”

"Uh, it's hard work, you go down and rest first!" After sending away the heralds, Zhi Weizheng said to Yang Jinhua: "There must be something wrong with the emperor's urgent move, you go and do it quickly, and return to Beijing as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Yang Jinhua happily accepted the order.

Did the emperor's brother miss me? Hee-hee...... Somebody's doing nymphomaniac there again.
