Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Attacking Heroes
It stands to reason that there should be 15,000 sets of fish scale armor in the Armaments Division now.
Now it has become one hundred and sixty sets, not to mention, the key is that 99% of TM is counterfeit with cloth armor.
Is it tolerable or unbearable!
Zhao Kai was greedy for more than 4 million taels of silver.
That's it!
But here comes the problem again.
At that time, he had no right to intervene in the affairs of the Armaments Division.
The lieutenant of that year was Gao Yu.
When he thought of Gao Yu, Zhao Han lost his temper.
After all, he knew that Gao Yu was the notoriously greedy of the Great Song Dynasty.
And before he tested Gao Yu and finally decided to reuse Gao Yu, he had already beaten him.
But even if Gao Yu has changed his ways now, it will also involve the corruption of the equipment of the Armaments Department.
Zhao Shuo suddenly became angry.
At this moment, Yang Tianhua said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is another matter, which the lower officials have not reported. ”
"Tell me about it, make it all clear to me, otherwise, I will punish your nine clans." Zhao Shuo roared like thunder.
As the saying goes, when the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed.
With such momentum, even Uncle Zhang, who has experienced a hundred battles, feels creepy when standing beside Zhao Shuo.
"Your Majesty, since Weichen came to the Armaments Department on an errand, I found that the armaments depot within fifteen years did not match the account books of the imperial court."
"Among them, the military uniforms used by the soldiers and horses of our Great Song Bu Army cost about 2.6 million sets in summer and winter every year."
"But in fifteen years, the total is less than two million sets."
"The lower officials are brave, if it is calculated in this way, the officers and soldiers of the military towns on all sides will only wear two clothes in fifteen years."
Zhao Shuo: "......"
The news was even more exciting.
You must know that the Great Song Dynasty has millions of soldiers, which is not blown.
Even if you look at the various parts of the military town, the number of officers and soldiers will only increase.
Based on the calculation of 2 million sets of rigid military uniforms that must be paid every year, a set of two taels of silver.
That's four million taels.
Fifteen years, a total of 70 million taels!
What a deal!
Zhao Shuo made a rough calculation, and felt that the hairs on his body were about to stand up.
He knew that in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a lot of corruption inside and outside the entire Song court.
And everyone looked up to Emperor Song Huizong, and one by one they rushed to enjoy corruption.
Therefore, armaments are slackened, and public resentment is everywhere.
Now it seems that Shuibo Liangshan and Fang La have risen up, and this TM is normal.
If you don't rebel, it won't be normal!
"Your Majesty, your dragon body is the supreme one, and if you are worried about state affairs, you should also pay attention to the dragon body." Uncle Zhang reminded him in a whisper beside him.
Zhao Shuo knew that the most important thing at the moment was to make 2,000 sets of fish scale armor.
As for the shocking corruption incident in the Great Song Dynasty, it has become a big matter and has involved the whole body.
Deal with one a little and you'll have a big piece.
If a large area is dealt with, the Song court will inevitably collapse the house.
Therefore, the matter of anti-corruption cannot be rushed.
Have to boil the frog in warm water.
Otherwise, like Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, he will kill and kill directly!
But aren't those Huaixi nobles also becoming more insatiable?
This thing is all about heat.
Zhao Shuo has his own set, but he doesn't need it now.
He first had to repel the Jin army.
Zhao Shuo now has a close experience of those kings in history who have made achievements, but can only sigh in despair.
Like Emperor Chongzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he really wanted to refresh the official system and reverse the situation.
But in the end, it didn't work out!
He still compromised with the powerful traitors who were twisted into a rope.
It was not so much a compromise as a fiasco.
Now Zhao Shuo is facing the same situation.
There are golden soldiers besieging the city outside, and life and death are at stake.
Even if he had the heart to punish the traitor, he would not do it.
Now, what the Jin people are waiting for is to cause trouble and chaos within the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Shuo wanted not to give Jin people a chance.
can only secretly endure this evil breath.
So he didn't ask for the specifics of the matter anymore.
"Yang Tianhua."
"Wechen is here."
"I will remove you from the post of head of the Armaments Department and punish you with a half-year grounding."
"When the time comes, you will reflect on it, and you will see me again."
"The guilty minister receives the decree, thank Your Majesty for your grace."
Yang Tianhua was directly moved to cry.
As soon as Zhao Shuo's golden mouth opened just now, he thought that his head was not guaranteed.
I didn't expect to just let myself think about it behind closed doors.
This is too good compared to Sun Fu and Xu Bingzhe, who was beheaded and robbed of his home!
"Qi Yu."
"In!"
"Go and call the adjutant of the Armaments Division."
"Yes."
A moment later, Lu You followed Qi Yu in.
"Your Majesty."
"Rooney, I have now promoted you to the head of the Armaments Division, the Captain of Jian Xuanhua, and the Scholar of Longtu Pavilion."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank you, I still want you to make fish scale armor, the deadline is also half a month, you can assign the craftsmen of the armor pavilion with full authority."
"Your Majesty, how many armors do you want?" Rooney looked up and asked seriously.
And voila!
This kind of doer asks more practical questions, and it is not hypocritical.
Most people are all-encompassing.
When the time comes, the promised things are either not done, or they are in a hurry, resulting in a very inferior work.
People like Rooney don't like grace.
can also ask about matters rationally, it can be seen that Zhao Shuo also has a good eye for reusing him.
"Two thousand, more, the better."
"We're in command."
Rooney thought about it for a while, and then gladly took the order.
All right!
Today's events are well arranged.
600 stone carts, 2,000 sets of fish scale armor.
In fact, Zhao Shuo originally wanted the Armaments Department to make the Tiefu map.
But from the perspective of the production process, it is quite cumbersome.
It's too late to catch up now.
So I retreated to the next best thing and chose the fish scale armor.
As for the long-range bows and melee weapons used by the sergeants, Zhao Shuo estimated that it was impossible for them to be without accidents.
But it's still under control, so I don't care.
After dealing with the military equipment, Zhao Shuo left the Armaments Division.
As for Yang Tianhua, he was simply grounded and punished.
It really exceeded everyone's expectations.
Because this matter involves armaments and weapons, it is equivalent to the crime of betraying the country.
But Zhao Shuo is reluctant to start rashly now.
He didn't want to force the officials involved in the corruption cases in the Armaments Department to take risks on his way to fight the Jinren.
As the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh.
You have to pay attention to the routine in this matter!!
Half an hour later, Zhao Shuo returned to the Wende Palace.
At this moment, Li Huai, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, ran in from outside the palace gate with an anxious expression.
As he ran, he said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The Emperor is back. ”
"Huh?"
Zhao Shuo suddenly bounced up from the dragon chair.
"What did you say?"
"The emperor has returned to Bianliang."
"Impossible! The Jin army outside the city is besieging the city, how can it be possible? ”
Zhao Shuo felt ten thousand impossibilities in his heart.
At this time, shouldn't Song Huizong paint a photo in the Jiangnan Palace?
How will it come back?
"Your Majesty, this is true."
"The minion just got the news, too."
"A few days ago, the news of His Majesty's fight against the gold thieves spread all over the world, and the Emperor Taishang must also know."
