In the Huxin Pavilion, the official Zhao Zhen acquiesced to Zhao Lei's condition for the first training of the new army, but when he saw the second condition, he would never agree. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"150 million taels of silver, this is a year's income of the Great Song Dynasty, how can it be allocated to you to train a new army! It's me who agrees, do you think the three divisions and the two prime ministers will agree! The official Zhao Zhen pointed to Zhao Lei's long number and asked very dissatisfied.

"Back to the official's house, this 500 million taels of silver is still the most preliminary estimate, if you want the new army to become the elite that can resist the Western Xia capture army and the Liaoguo Palace guard, I'm afraid the money is not enough!" Zhao Lei arched his hand and said to the official Zhao Zhen.

"What! Just kidding, the entire Great Song Dynasty army of 1.2 million people, the annual expenses are only 30 or 40 million taels of silver, and as soon as you open your mouth, it will be 150 million taels, do you say that I may promise you! The official Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Lei and said angrily.

"The emperor is angry, the minister did not say that this is a year's expenditure, but refers to the total expenditure after the new army is trained to be able to fight the elite of the enemy Western Xia and Liao, this time is expected to take about ten years, so the minister believes that the new army needs to spend fifteen million taels a year!" Zhao Lei said to the official Zhao Zhen eloquently.

"Fifteen million taels! No way! I won't agree to allocate so much money to the new army every year, and besides, if I agree, do you think Song Shou, Lu Yijian, and Li Di will agree! The official Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Lei with a mocking eye and said.

"Qiqi official family, if you don't want to take fifteen million taels or three divisions every year, the minister has one last way!" Zhao Lei said confidently.

"What's the solution? Tell me about it? The official Zhao Zhen looked at the confident Zhao Lei. Asked curiously.

"The official family also knows that the minister is not only the heir of Hua Tuo, but also from the Lu Gong family, and the Lu Gong has a Lu Gong secret record, which records all kinds of Lu Gongming's things, offensive and defensive equipment and civilian supplies, everything is complete. Although Lu Gong's secret record disappeared later, but the things in it, the minister still remembers a lot, so the minister can draw those things, civilian supplies can be made and sold, and the money from the sale is used to fund the new army to manufacture offensive and defensive equipment and subsidize various expenditures, the minister estimates that if this transaction goes well, it can make at least tens of millions of taels of profits every year, and it can definitely afford the expenses of the new army. Zhao Lei looked at the official Zhao Zhen and said temptingly.

Hear the bright prospects described by Zhao Lei. The official Zhao Zhen immediately asked temptingly: "Can you really earn tens of millions of taels a year?" ”

"How dare the minister deceive the official! But? Zhao Lei said this, and Zhao Zhen, who was very embarrassed, said.

"But what? Say it! The official Zhao Zhen was really anxious and asked loudly.

"The minister took out the things recorded by Duke Lu just to train the new army, and he didn't want to become a tool for the court to collect money. Therefore, the minister thought that this money-making plan must be incorporated into the logistics department of the new army, and all the money earned should be used for the expenditure of the new army. However, the ministers can divide two percent from it, and the officials and ministers each account for one percent! Zhao Lei looked at the official Zhao Zhen slyly and said.

"Okay, you Zhao Sanjue, let's talk about it. It's just that I want to use the manpower and material resources of the court to earn some extra money for you! When the official Zhao Zhen heard that it was just this kind of question, he laughed and said without caring at all.

Zhao Lei smiled embarrassedly, but smiled bitterly in his heart, his proposal today is a last resort, if you really don't want those shares, the new army will not become Zhao Lei's new army, not the new army of the Great Song Dynasty and the official family, so that. It's no wonder that he is not guarded by the officials, so he pretends to be greedy for money, so as to belittle his prestige in the new army, in fact, the current Zhao Lei has a very profitable pharmacy and a folding fan shop as a base, plus all kinds of money, there is absolutely no shortage of food and clothing, and he doesn't care about earning a lot of money at all.

"If your words come true, you can earn tens of millions of taels a year, but the new army can only spend more than 10 million taels, what about the rest of the money?" The official Zhao Zhen pondered and asked Zhao Lei.

"Therefore, the minister proposed at the end of the recital, hoping that the new soldiers' pawns can float, and if the new army has money, they will pay more soldiers, and the rest of the money can be used as a standby pension." Zhao Lei explained carefully.

"Good! I promise you, but if you fail, you should know the consequences? The official Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Lei majestically and asked.

"The minister knows that if the minister can't earn enough money for the new army in a year, he is willing to disband the new army and go home to retire!" Zhao Lei said loudly with a broken look.

"I agreed to this condition, I don't know how much money you need in the first year to start a business and train a new army?" The official Zhao Zhen asked very carefully.

"Back to the official family, it takes about two million taels to start a business, but you can't earn the new army in a short time, so you need the official family to pay half a year's worth in advance, about eight million taels, and a total of 10 million taels of silver in the first year!" Zhao Lei said after careful calculation.

"Ten million taels, I promise you! Let's talk about the third condition! You said that you need to control the iron and claw cases of the three divisions, why is that? The official Zhao Zhen asked incomprehensibly.

"Back to the official's house, the three divisions are in charge of all kinds of knives, guns, armor and other equipment of the soldiers, and the iron case manages the flow of copper and iron and other materials in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Lu Gong Secret Record happens to have a record of this, including the production of weapons and armor, and the places where copper and iron are produced in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty, so the minister wants to control these two departments, reform the production of armor and weapons in the case, and at the same time search for copper and iron mines in various places to increase the output of copper and iron in the Great Song Dynasty." Zhao Lei slowly said the prepared words.

"I see! So what's going on with this Ministry of Industry Ordnance Institute? The official Zhao Zhen pointed to another request on the fold and asked.

"The Ordnance Institute of the Ministry of Industry is responsible for supervising the manufacture of various offensive and defensive weapons, and there is a method of making these weapons in the Lu Gong Secret Record, which can make more powerful weapons, but because the original book has been missing, the minister only remembers the approximately, so I hope to control this department, reform these weapons, and make these weapons more powerful, so as to equip the new army and improve the combat effectiveness of the new army." Zhao Lei continued to explain.

"Why the formation of the logistics post of the new army? You also have to build a base for the logistics station in the hidden mountain, can't the ordnance station and the three divisions of iron and the yamen of the case meet your needs? The official Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Lei suspiciously.

"Go back to the official's house. The weapons on the Lu Gong's secret record that the minister wanted to make were all powerful weapons, and once these things were exposed to the Western Xia and Liao States, I am afraid that they would be targeted by the spies of the two countries, and the target of the weapons was too big, and it was difficult to have secrets. Moreover, the formation and training of the new army is not an overnight thing, and the weapons on the Lu Gong's secret record need to be tested many times before they can succeed, and the new army must have its own logistics base in order to keep secrets and develop new weapons. Zhao Lei told the official Zhao Zhen all about his plan.

The official Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said: "I agree to your request, tomorrow is the day of the last dynasty, and I will tell the hundred officials, but you have to be mentally prepared." Whether it is Lu Yijian, Li Di or Song Shou, it is estimated that they will not agree to your plan, and the Privy Council will probably not agree to your plan, even if I support you, you still have a long way to go! ”

"Officials need not worry. The minister has already prepared, and the official family only needs to ...... like this" Zhao Lei smiled slightly, and told the official Zhao Zhen the plan he had already thought of.

It's treacherous! After listening to Zhao Lei's plan, the official Zhao Zhen thought with a wicked smile.

……

In 1o35 AD, the fourth day of the first month of the second year of Jingyou of the Great Song Dynasty. On the first day of the new year, the snow is still fluttering in the morning, and the sky and the earth are crystal clear. Outside the Imperial Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials of the imperial court braved the flying universities, waiting for the time of the court.

In the crowd outside the Imperial Palace, Wang Su and Zhao Lei stood together secretly, discussing in a low voice about today's court.

"I don't care about anything else today, I must get the position of judge of the case, I am ready to play, and I will start as soon as I go to the palace. Don't give Lu Yijian and Li Di time to refute them. Zhao Lei looked around and whispered to his senior brother Wang Su.

"Don't worry! I have already contacted Lord Sun Zude of the Imperial Court, and he will definitely bring the judge of the three divisions of salt and iron to the ground. Wang Su looked at Zhao Lei and said confidently.

At this moment, Yan Wenying walked out of the Imperial Palace and loudly announced the start of the early dynasty.

Hearing Yan Wenying's sharp and familiar voice, the court officials began to walk into the Imperial Hall according to their ranks.

"There is a morning music, and there is no retreat!" The official Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair and waved his hand, and Yan Wenying, who was beside him, immediately said in a loud and elongated tone.

"The minister has the book!" As soon as Yan Wenying's voice fell, Sun Zude, the governor of the Imperial Court, immediately came out and said loudly.

"The six judges of the Salt and Iron Case of the Third Division of the Minister and the Third Division of the Minister were derelict in their duties, resulting in the weapons, armor, bows, crossbows and arrows produced by the case not meeting the standards, and they were unable to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, which led to the defeat of Gyeongju." Sun Zude held the fold in his hand and said loudly to the official Zhao Zhen.

Above the court, Lu Yijian and Li Di and other important ministers of the court looked at Sun Zude in confusion, they didn't understand what Sun Zude was crazy about, and they actually brought up the matter of the defeat of Gyeongju that had been suppressed again at this time.

Yan Wenying took Sun Zude's recital and sent it to the hands of the officials, and Zhao Lei, who was low-key among the ministers, raised an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth.

The official Zhao Zhen pretended to take Sun Zude's notebook, and said angrily after browsing: "Bastard! 1,000 armor, 400 unqualified, 1,000 knives and guns, 300 unqualified, 10,000 bows and arrows, the length and size of the arrows in them are different, and there are no arrows in some places, and the loss of various manufacturing raw materials in the past two years has increased by 20% year-on-year compared with previous years. ”

The 6 judges of the Sansi Yan Tiexuan case stood up with a blue face and trembling legs, his mind was blank, he didn't understand why he covered it very tightly, there would be no problem, but now there is a problem.

"Qiyu Guanjia, it is precisely because of the dereliction of duty of the 6 judges of the Sansi Salt and Iron Case that the heavy armor on the soldiers has no predicted defensive ability, so they were injured by the bows and arrows of Western Xia, and it is precisely because of the dereliction of duty of the 6 judges of the Sansi Salt and Tie Xuan case, the swords and guns of my Great Song Ying warriors cannot penetrate the enemy's armor at all, and the bows and crossbows cannot be aimed, and some can't even shoot, in this case, my Great Song Soldiers can be undefeated!" Sun Zude stood up at this time and said.

"What a bastard, come here, put him in prison, and interrogate him on a later date!" The official Zhao Zhen said angrily.

"Qi Qi official, the judge of the three divisions of the salt and iron case cannot be vacant for a day, please immediately appoint the minister to supervise the work of the case workshop." Seeing that the fire was ready, Sun Zude began to add the last handful of firewood.

The official Zhao Zhen pondered for a while, and said firmly: "The crown prince and master Zhao Aiqing are familiar with military affairs, and they studied under Lu Gong, and they are upright, so they can be the judge of the three divisions of salt and iron cases!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness!" Zhao Lei didn't wait for the palace officials to react at this time, and immediately came out to settle the matter, and Xie En said.

Looking at the court officials who were still confused, Zhao Lei laughed like a fox in his heart.

The first battle was successfully won, and the next battle will come soon!
