Zhao Yingluo smiled, "I'll give you another chance to answer again!" ”

A touch of crimson flew over Yan Zongyi's face, "Those seeds of yours are indeed magical, benefiting the people of Dajin Country, I came here this time to discuss the purchase of more kinds of seeds." ”

"It's okay to ask for seeds, and the war horse will change it!" Zhao Yingluo said bluntly.

Wanyan Zongyi nodded in agreement, "As long as the price is right, the war horse is not a problem, and in addition, I also want to purchase a batch of firecrackers to deal with the threat of the Xia Kingdom." ”

Zhao Yingluo raised her eyebrows, when I am a three-year-old child? Do you still need a fire gun to deal with Western Xia? This is clearly aimed at the Great Song Dynasty.

Sell you a firebolt and let you hit me with a firebolt? How much alcohol did I drink to get drunk like this?

"Fire guns are not for sale! I advise you to dispel this idea. ”

Wanyan Zongyi was originally going to try the attitude, and her reply was also expected, so she gave up getting a large number of firearms and technology through legitimate means.

Although he went to the fire, Wanyan Zongyi still waved his hand and bought a million stones of wheat to be shipped to Dajin Country, which made Zhao Yingluo make a lot of money.

Of course, he also bought a lot of seeds at the price of 3,000 horses, which was a good deal for everyone.

……

【Foundry】

The foundry was planned by Zhao Yingluo at the beginning of the year, with the aim of designing an incredibly powerful cannon through her dictated design ideas.

However, because Zhao Yingluo only knows its general design ideas, but there are no specific design drawings and instructions, coupled with the craftsmanship and smelting technology of this era, it is very difficult to cast.

Not to mention anything else, the smoothness of the inner wall of the cannon barrel alone is a big problem, the smoothness is not enough, and the barrel will break after a few shots.

Feng Jing, who was in charge of this matter, was in the foundry at this time, and was inspecting around a cannon, the overall size of this cannon was not large, and two people could operate the transfer with wheels.

But the barrel had been blown in two, but fortunately no one was injured.

Just at this time, Zhao Yingluo also came, "Before I came in, I heard an earth-shattering sound, it turned out to be an explosion, and the reason was found?" ”

Feng Jing frowned, "It's the same as the original firecracker, because of the process, the strength of the cannon barrel process is not enough, and the smoothness is not enough. ”

Due to the span of knowledge, Zhao Yingluo really couldn't help him much, so she had to pat him on the shoulder, "Take your time!" There is always a solution, how is the production of firearms? ”

"Thanks to the assembly line operation proposed by His Royal Highness, each craftsman is only responsible for the production of one part, and then complete the assembly, the overall quality and speed have been improved, and the daily output of firecrackers can reach about one or twenty, and then to increase the output, then we can only recruit some craftsmen or apprentices."

Zhao Yingluo nodded, compared to before, she could only make one or two firecrackers a day, and this speed has increased a lot.

"How much more?"

"At present, there are 50 skilled craftsmen and 50 apprentices, and if we want to double the production capacity, we will need at least 100 people, and it will take time."

"Yes, do it as soon as possible, and try to recruit as many hands as possible."

……

The news of the recruitment of the foundry in Kaifeng Town came, and it immediately set off a wave of recruitment.

The entire Kaifeng City knows that as long as you enter Zhao Yingluo's factory, your children will go to school, the elderly will have subsidies, you can still receive commissions, and you can also take care of accommodation, and you can live a worry-free life.

With such generous conditions, who wouldn't want to go?

But when I saw the notice column, it was written: When only the hand is recruited, nine out of ten people are cold.

Wanyan Zongyi squeezed to the notice at the city gate, and after seeing the news of the recruitment, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

Empress Yuanyou, or Empress Dowager Longyou, has never returned south since she came to Kaifeng, because Zhao Gou's biological mother, Empress Dowager Wei returned a year ago, although Song Huizong came back, she soon went to Lin'an, and was obeyed by Zhao Gou as the Empress Dowager Xuanhe.

Although the Empress Dowager of the two palaces was fine, after all, the Empress Dowager Xuanhe was Zhao Go's biological mother, and the Empress Dowager Longyou felt that she was left out, so she no longer had any plans to return south.

Here, at least there is a righteous daughter who knows cold and hot, as well as royal brothers, princes and princesses who are respectful to themselves.

In the summer heat of June, the Empress Dowager Longyou felt unwell, and Song Huizong hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor, who thought that the weather was hot and dry after taking the pulse, and ate some unclean food, and had some diarrhea.

Some antidiarrheal medications were prescribed

However, on the third day, the Empress Dowager Longyou became ill, and after Zhao Yingluo learned the news, she hurriedly went into the palace to take care of her and met the Empress Dowager Longyou.

When she entered the hall, she found that her father, Zhao Ji, and all her brothers and sisters were there.

In just three days, she had no strength to stand up, and lay on the bed with only faint breathing, her eyes closed.

Hearing the news that Zhao Yingluo was coming, her eyes slowly opened, and after seeing Zhao Yingluo, she was much more energetic.

"Why are you here?"

"I heard that the Queen Mother is sick, I'll come over to take a look, are you okay now?"

Empress Dowager Long You said with a smile, "Earlier, I thought I was about to die, but now after seeing you, I feel much lighter." ”

Zhao Ji opened his mouth and said, "Sister-in-law is worried about Yingluo!" I knew that I would have let her stay by your side and be with you all the time. ”

"She is now the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, how can she always stay by my side?"

Everyone present thought that Empress Dowager Long You's condition had improved, but only Zhao Yingluo knew with the common sense of later generations that Empress Dowager Long You was back to the light, and time was running out.

Thinking of this old lady's lonely life, two lines of tears suddenly slipped from the corners of Zhao Yingluo's eyes, "Where does the Queen Mother speak, everyone in the house is the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"You all go down first, let's say a few words to ourselves."

After everyone retreated, Empress Dowager Long You took Zhao Yingluo's hand, "Child, I know that my time is short, and I have two words of instruction to tell you." ”

Zhao Yingluo's eyes were red, and she sat down in front of the bed and hugged her emaciated in her arms, "The Queen Mother, you said." ”

"Although I don't ask about political affairs, but with years of experience, I can probably figure out your thoughts, although the official family is timid and afraid, but he is filial piety and generosity. If one day you really turn against him, you might as well be lenient with him. ”

Zhao Yingluo nodded, "He is my brother, I will give him a place to go." ”

"The second thing, you will soon encounter a crisis, although I admit that you are a princess, but the Empress Dowager Xuanhe is afraid that she will not be recognized because of the official family, you should deal with it as soon as possible."

After hearing the news, Zhao Yingluo was shocked, in the TV series of later generations, she did have a vague memory, saying that Zhao Duofu, who returned to the south, was pointed out as a fake emperor by the Empress Dowager Xuanhe, so Song Gaozong killed the fake emperor in Dali Temple in the name of fake emperor.

But this situation is its turn.

"I'll be careful."

Empress Dowager Long You nodded, "This third thing, after I die, don't bury me with the first emperor, and don't need to bury me thickly, just build a similar tomb in a place with good feng shui, and there is a place for descendants to hang on." ”

As soon as she said this, Zhao Yingluo burst into tears, "I should obey!" ”

"I've finished explaining the words, the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty, the suffering of the people will fall on your shoulders in the future, it's a pity...... It's a pity I can't see it. ”

After saying this, the Empress Dowager Long You slowly closed her eyes and passed away suddenly.
