Forty-second sad soldier
"National Master, if you want to build a ship, where is the best place to build it?" Cai Jing asked. Wenshen stared at the globe and said, "Because the ship uses a large machine, I hope it can be located nearer to Yizhou." Wenshen pointed to the location of modern Rizhao, "This place has a deep port and is suitable for building a port."
"Why not choose Quanzhou? Quanzhou is still close to Ocean Island? There are also a large number of skilled craftsmen in Quanzhou." Gao Qiu asked. "Building a boat you run requires a lot of steel, and Quanzhou and other places lack such resources. At this stage, the place I mentioned is the best, and Yizhou is not very far from the capital." Wen Shen smiled.
"The national teacher seems to have only land routes from Yizhou to Beijing, and there is no canal. How inconvenient it is to transport goods." Song Huizong thought of the transportation issue and asked. "Your Majesty, this question is good. I plan to build a railway from Yizhou to Yanzhou and Xuzhou to Beijing." Wenshen said.
"Is there a lot of cargo transported by this railway? How much does it cost to build it?" Cai Jing asked. "The railway is just a road. If you transport goods, you have to make a car that you run by yourself. This car is made of steel, more than 30 meters long and can transport tens of millions of kilograms at a time." Wenshen smiled.
"This car is so powerful, I don't know when the national teacher will be built and how long it will take to be completed." Song Huizong asked anxiously. "To build such a road, one meter requires 300 kilograms of steel making, and a total of 100,000 kilograms of steel making, and at least five years will it take to be completed." Wen Shen returned.
Cai Jing said astonished: "So many."
"It's not that it's too much. Now the steel mills in Yizhou can produce tens of millions of kilograms of steel a year. Just build a few more such steel mills."
"I have forgotten that the national teacher has not mentioned it, and since I have produced that cement based on your formula, built many salt fields, and produced a large amount of salt, the price of salt has been falling again and again, and I still can't sell it all. I wonder, what good methods does the national teacher have?" Cai Jing said a little confused.
Gao Qiu next to him said anxiously: "This is not simple. I think the salt system can be implemented. Each household must buy a certain amount of salt every month." Wen Shen thought to himself: "This Gao Qiu is really a fool, and he will give all his bad ideas." Song Huizong said: "Is this a bit disturbing the people?" Song Huizong had some common sense at this time and was not completely confused.
Wenshen hurriedly bowed, "Emperor, this method is extremely disturbing the people and is not conducive to the country and the country. I think it is not easy to implement this method." Cai Jingchou said, "What should I do? Can you put the big salt in the salt field?" Wenshen smiled and said, "I think it's better to just let the salt market go. Just monitor the salt field well. As long as you have salt, you can collect taxes as much as you have. This will reduce the large redundant staff. Save expenses and benefit the people."
"Reform, will this cause problems?" Song Huizong worried. "If the emperor is worried, this problem can be solved in the future. Although the salt cannot be sold out now, I think that the money I have made during this period should be much more than in previous years, is it Mr. Cai?" Wenshen asked at Cai Jing.
"Haha, it's more money than in previous years." Cai Jing smiled dryly, "By the way, the national teacher, the steelmaking technique, has also contributed. "Teacher Cai, this is not how the people are managed. If the court regularly asks for secret recipes for the people for free, it will be unfavorable to economic development and increase taxes." Wenshen said a little strangely.
"The national teacher said that my official is not good at managing the people." Cai Jing said a little angry. "Yes, you are not only poor in management, but also a disaster to the country and the people." Wenshen said loudly.
Cai Jing couldn't stand this and cursed, "You demon tempted the emperor." As he said that, he knelt in front of Song Huizong and shouted injustice.
Song Huizong also knew that Cai Jing was seriously corrupt, otherwise history would not have dismissed his official position three times. "National Master, where did you say this?" Song Huizong said.
"When the emperor, when I was traveling to Jiangnan, I found that Cai Jing was seriously corrupt while collecting strange stones. Now the people are in a state of misery. I am afraid there will be civil changes."
"What, so serious. Is this a matter for the Grand Master?"
"Your Majesty, I am doing my best to do my best to serve the emperor. The national teacher falsely accused me of me." Cai Jing said with tears in his nose. "Yes, Your Majesty, Master Cai is really serving the emperor wholeheartedly." Gao Qiu said to the side, but he didn't expect Wen Shen to turn against him and was caught off guard.
"This matter will be discussed tomorrow morning. I am tired and need to rest." Song Huizong chose to delay.
...
The next morning, the anti-Cai faction led by Zheng Juzhong heard the news and attacked Cai Jing in the court. In the end, Song Huizong had to give up Cai Jing's official position. Cai Jing was dismissed and returned home, but Zheng Juzhong had a stronger and stronger impression of Wen Shen.
...
Yesterday, Wen Shen returned from the palace and fought at Yuanmiao Villa for one night. Today, Wen Shen came to the barracks. When he looked at the soldiers, Wen Shen felt depressed. The two thousand soldiers given by Gao Qiu were all old, weak, sick and disabled. Looking at Gao Qiu beside him with a sinister smile, Wen Shen said calmly, "Master Gao, is this what you call an elite soldier?"
"Yes, are you not satisfied with the national teacher? This is difficult to deal with." Gao Qiu said with a sarcastic look on his face.
Wen Shen smiled strangely and said, "These two thousand elite soldiers will be accepted. Taiwei Gao, be careful." Gao Qiu looked at Wen Shen and felt a little nervous. After dealing with the game, he hurried back.
In the military tent, a man with gray hair and wrinkles stood respectfully next to Wenshen. Wenshen looked at it and asked, "Are you the leader here? How old are you? You are still a soldier?"
"I am Zhu Silang, my name is forty-five, and I am the leader here for the time being." The man said respectfully.
"Do you usually fuck?"
"No fuck!"
"Then what do you usually do?"
"Well, that's too much. For example, cleaning up Taiwei Gao, raising pigs and farming, weaving cloth and shoes, logging wood and refining charcoal, making kilns and porcelain..."
"Damn, this Taiwei Gao is too corrupt. He doesn't have to pay wages when he treats national soldiers as laborers. He is not a good thing than the master's and doctoral supervisors in later generations." Wenshen cursed, "No way, you two thousand people do this."
"The teacher is all here."
"Damn, what kind of soldiers are, they are just two thousand craftsmen, they are still old-fashioned." Wen Shen yelled.
"Please calm down the anger of the national teacher. We are still a little young here, but they are all new to this year." Zhu Silang said with a smile.
Wen Shen calmed down his anger and said, "Now you are my own jurisdiction. Now you must arrive in Yizhou within a month. As for how to leave, I don't care. You can find a way for yourself. OK, see you in a month." After that, Wen Shen ignored Zhu Silang and returned to Yuanmiao Villa.
Not long after returning to the villa, Zheng Juzhong and Zheng Taizai came to visit. Li Yi led Zheng Juzhong to the living room to sit down, Wen Shen came out of the inner room and said, "Mr. Zheng is so good recently."
"Okay, okay, I'm worried about it if I have time."
"I wonder what happened to Lord Zheng here."
"Today, Cai Jing was dismissed by the emperor and returned home. Thanks to the national teacher, he petitioned for the people."
"There, there, this is what I should do."
The two of them talked to each other, enhancing their relationship. Finally, Zheng Juzhong said goodbye and went home. Before leaving, Wenshen took out a mirror as a gift and gave it to Zheng Juzhong. With the mirror, Zheng Juzhong was very excited.
After Zheng Juzhong left, Wenshen saw that nothing happened, he returned to Yantai Hotel. Wenshen tidied up a little in the bathroom, and saw Mu Ziyu still wiping tears there, and said, "Okay, don't do this. If you want to give birth, you should shed it."
Mu Ziyu looked at Wen Shen in a little shocked and said, "What did you say? It's gone. How did you say it!"
"Are you thinking about you? It's so bad that your husband finds out."
"I don't care. I finally have it, I must give birth."
"Okay, if you want to give birth, you can give birth. What do you need me to do?" Wenshen said helplessly.
"What can you do? Marry me?"
"Well, there is some money here, you can use it first. I have something to do, so I'll leave first. If you have something to do, call my phone." While saying that, Wenshen took out his wallet and looked at it and found that there was no cash, so he pulled out a credit card and said, "You have this card first. If you don't have a password, just swipe it."
