Chapter Eighty-Seven: Adviser to the Ordnance Superintendent

"Daddy, last time you said that you would merge the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard and the North and South Workshops to establish an ordnance supervisor, I don't know how this matter is going?" I saw Zhao Yan ponder for a moment, and suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with Princess Bao'an.

Zhao Shu was also stunned, but still replied: "This matter has been supported by the courtiers, it is estimated that at the latest, the weapons supervisor will be established, and then you will be in charge of Yan'er, and it will definitely make my Great Song Dynasty's weapons level soar, leaving Western Xia and Northern Liao far behind!" ”

"Daddy forgives the sin, in fact, Erchen originally wanted to refuse to take over the Ordnance Prison, but if Daddy can return the second sister's freedom, Erchen will definitely go all out and develop many powerful weapons for my Great Song Dynasty, even muskets and artillery, it is possible to build them in advance!" Zhao Yan stepped forward and said with a firm face.

"You...... You threaten your father with this? Zhao Shu was also a little angry when he heard this, he didn't expect his son to talk to him about the conditions, no wonder Zhao Yan beat Wang Shu and dared to run into the palace, it turned out that he had the idea of beating him.

"Hehe, Daddy's anger, where does Erchen dare to threaten Daddy, it's just that Erchen really didn't want to waste all his time in the ordnance prison before, so he had already planned to refuse, but for the sake of the second sister, Erchen was willing to die for the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Yan turned to a rogue expression and said, anyway, he is Zhao Shu's son, and it is normal for his son and father to play some rogue methods, if you have the ability, you let others manage the weapons superintendent?

Seeing Zhao Yan's scoundrel appearance, Zhao Shu couldn't get angry, and the ordnance supervision was originally planned to be formed because of Zhao Yan, if Zhao Yan didn't do it now, then there would be no point in forming this ordnance superintendent.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shu couldn't help but feel distressed, and finally lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally raised his head and said: "Yan'er, the weapons prison is related to the safety of my Great Song Dynasty's frontier, and it is absolutely child's play, so you must not shirk this matter, as for your second sister's matter, I will find a way to get the queen and the ministers to agree, but this will take time, so don't worry!" ”

Seeing Zhao Shu agree, Zhao Yan was also overjoyed, and immediately saluted again: "Thank you Daddy for your kindness, your words have saved the second sister's life, and Erchen will definitely use what he has learned in his whole body in the future to design some new weapons for my Da Song!" ”

When Zhao Yan said at the end, he suddenly hesitated a little, and then showed a grinning expression to Zhao Shu and said: "Daddy, there is another idea about the ordnance superintendent, do you think this will work, when the ordnance superintendent is established, the son-in-law does not need to directly govern the ordnance superintendent, but serves as an idle ......."

"No, the armory prison was originally set up because of you, and my father has already agreed to your request, how can you go back on your word?" Before Zhao Yan's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhao Shu angrily, and he thought that Zhao Yan wanted to regret it.

"Daddy, don't worry, please listen to Erchen's words." Zhao Yan also hurriedly explained, "Daddy, you let Erchen be in charge of the Ordnance Supervisor, just to let Erchen use what he has learned to design some powerful weapons like grenades for the Great Song Dynasty, but the Ordnance Supervision Organization is huge, there are at least tens of thousands of craftsmen alone, and the daily affairs are extremely complicated, Erchen has no management experience, if he takes over rashly, he will inevitably be divided by most of his energy by these complicated affairs, and then how can he have time to design new weapons?" ”

Hearing Zhao Yan's above words, Zhao Shu also felt very reasonable, and fell silent for a while. At this time, Zhao Yan then stepped up and said: "So according to Erchen's idea, it is better for Daddy to send a capable official to manage the Ordnance Supervisor, and Erchen has an idle position, so let's call it a consultant for the time being, the consultant is not directly involved in the management of the Ordnance Superintendent, but he has the right to mobilize the craftsmen and materials of the Ordnance Superintendent, so that I also have more time to study new weapons, what does Dad think?" ”

After listening to this, Zhao Shu also nodded and said: "This is due to the negligence of the father, and thanks to Yan'er, you are thoughtful, otherwise if you are really asked to manage the ordnance prison, I am afraid that there will really be chaos, since this is the case, then the father will agree to your request, and the name of the adviser is good, there is a 'consultant Feng Tang, and the general' in the Han book, it can be regarded as a servant for the king's consultation, and non-learned people cannot take responsibility, and it is very appropriate to arrange for you to be a consultant in the ordnance prison." ”

In Zhao Yan's impression, the consultant was an idle job that only took money and did not work in later generations, and he always thought that it was a word made clear by later generations, but he didn't expect it to be in the Han book, but this also happened that the consultant had such a historical origin, but it also saved him from wasting his lips and tongue to explain.

Next, Zhao Yan asked about Zhao Shu's body with concern, in fact, he was not worried at all, because Zhao Shu in history had been the emperor for at least four years, and now it is only the first year, so Zhao Shu's condition should slowly improve, in fact, it is true, since Zhao Shu handed over most of the government affairs to the Empress Dowager Cao, his condition has stabilized a lot, and the imperial doctor said that he has entered the stage of recovery, as long as this period of time is no longer bothering, and it will be greatly improved if he takes care of it for a few months.

Zhao Yan also knew something about Zhao Shu's condition, but he was also helpless, because Zhao Shu's condition was very complicated, in addition to some symptoms of tracheitis, there were also some other symptoms, such as palpitations, dizziness, and even sometimes madness, which made Zhao Yan unable to judge Zhao Shu's condition, let alone help.

Speaking of tracheitis, if it is just tracheitis, the cephalosporin in Zhao Yan's hand is very symptomatic, but because there are other diseases, so Zhao Yan doesn't know if the use of cephalosporin will cause other consequences, he doesn't want to kill Zhao Shu with a needle, fortunately he knows that Zhao Shu's condition will improve, so he hasn't worried much about it.

Accompanied Zhao Shu to chat for a while, because it was late, and Zhao Yan was also worried about Princess Bao'an's condition, so he got up and said goodbye, but just when Zhao Yan turned around and was about to leave, Zhao Shu suddenly remembered one more thing, and immediately said: "Yan'er, the corn and sweet potatoes that my father brought back from you last time have been planted, and now there are special people to take care of them, and the growth is not bad, if you are free these days, go into the palace to take a look, lest those people don't know how to take care of the crops." ”

"Daddy, don't worry, Erchen will definitely go to take a look in the next few days!" Zhao Yan also immediately agreed, he had heard from Zhao Ji that corn and sweet potatoes were planted in the back garden north of the palace, not only to send special people to take care of them, but also to guard them with heavy troops, which shows that Zhao Shu attaches great importance to those two crops.

When Zhao Yan left the palace, it was completely dark, since last year, that is, after Zhao Shu ascended the throne, Kaifeng City has canceled the curfew, and the entire Kaifeng City has become a city that never sleeps, especially around the Imperial City, it is the most prosperous area of Kaifeng City, when Zhao Yan's carriage walked out of the palace, but Kaifeng City at night seems to be more lively than during the day, and there are more pedestrians on the street, it is estimated that the weather is too hot, so they are concentrated in the night out.

Although the curfew is gone, the city gate will still be closed on time, so Zhao Yan will definitely not be able to go back, but he doesn't plan to go back, Princess Bao'an is so sick, he has to visit, and today he beat Wang Xu, and asked Zhao Shu to let Princess Bao'an and Wang Shu reconcile, and before the reconciliation, Zhao Yan did not plan to let Princess Bao'an live in the Horse Mansion.

"Have you heard, today the king of Guangyang County made a big show at the Xiyuan Yaji, and painted a picture that made Wang Yuma and others bow down?" In the swaying carriage, Zhao Yan suddenly heard a discussion outside.

"Hey~, brother, your news has long been outdated, my second boy knows a subordinate of the Horse Mansion, and they saw the painting painted by the king of Guangyang County with their own eyes, it is said that everyone on the painting is like a real person, and anyone who sees it will be surprised!" The other person said, but the focus of his tone was on his son's acquaintance with the people of the Horse Mansion, as if this was a very worthy thing to show off.

"What is this, do you know that Ouyang Xianggong asked for a painting some time ago, that kind of painting was actually painted by the king of Guangyang County, but it was inadvertently circulated, and no one knew that those paintings were made by the king of the county, until today the king of the county showed his painting skills on the West Garden Collection, which surprised everyone." Then someone spoke, and this man obviously knew more than the others.

"King Jun, the people outside are discussing your efforts to defeat Wang and the others in Xiyuan Yaji, it seems that in the future, no one will say that you don't know how to learn!" The little bean sprouts in the carriage heard the discussion outside, and immediately said very excitedly.

However, compared to the excitement of the little bean sprouts, Zhao Yan smiled very calmly: "It is not necessarily a good thing to have a good reputation, especially with an identity like me, I will even be burdened by fame and have to take on some unnecessary responsibilities." ”

Xiao Dou Sprouts naturally didn't understand Zhao Yan's words, tilted her head and thought about it for a long time and still didn't understand, Zhao Yan also knew that she didn't understand, but she didn't explain either. The carriage drove all the way, and most of what I heard on the road was a discussion of today's Xiyuan Yaji, and Zhao Yan's name was mentioned by countless people, including amazement, suspicion, jealousy, etc., and all kinds of things in the world were in it.

Just when Zhao Yan's carriage arrived in front of Wang Xu's Horse Mansion, he suddenly heard Su Shi's voice saying goodbye outside: "Brother Zhang Zai farewell, and there will be a chance to reunite in the future!" ”
