Chapter 167: Discussion

Zhao Yu smiled, "You are more clever than I think. This Yangping is a small place, and I plan to vigorously display firearms. Unfortunately, the Iron Master and Gunpowder Master of the Tokyo Construction Bureau, as long as you are experienced, you Ouyang will be dug up all of your experience."

"If you want to go back to your Majesty, Your Majesty is the richest man in the Song Dynasty, and I can't compare with you. If Your Majesty pays 500 stags per person per month, these people will naturally be poached by Your Majesty again."

"If you start a craftsman for five hundred, then I have to open a few hundred of you, the eighth-rank official?" Zhao Yu said: "I don't want anything else. As long as you hand over the gunpowder and the fire line recipe, I can reward you with a million."

"Qian Weichen looked very lightly." Ouyang took out a flat box from his arms and put it on the table and said, "This is the recipe your Majesty wants."

"..." Zhao Yu was stunned. Unexpectedly, Ouyang actually brought the recipe and waved: "Come on."

The ninth eunuch wanted to take it, Ouyang held it down with one hand and said, "Your Majesty wants to strengthen the army and enrich the country, but I dare not hide my own personal information. But... I have to explain it to Your Majesty clearly. Once this recipe reaches the Tokyo Making Bureau, one year later, the Liao and Jin people can steal it. Two years later, the Liao and Jin firearms will not fall into the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "I know this, but you can continue to study..."

"Your Majesty is kidding. These are Ouyang's efforts over the years. He has invested more than one million yuan and spent countless efforts. Many masters have died because of this. Now, if you say nothing, you will not have the intention to study it."

Zhao Yu changed his face and said, "Are you threatening me?"

"Your Majesty, what I said is the truth. Your Majesty looks at the temple. Which one is not pursuing power and profit? Look at the common people. Even if there is no benefit, they will be powerless even if they are forced to do it." Ouyang said: "Including the Sanqian Chamber Army, plus hundreds of technicians, and several masters, everyone wants to have a meal. Their sense of pursuit is in this small box. When I came, several masters had already resigned to me after hearing about this. They said that their money has been spent and they have been committed to researching it. That is why I am worthy of them when I am in trouble. They cannot be sorry to me when they are rich. Your Majesty, this box is not my Ouyang, but their hard work. Whoever is in which industry does not want to be called a master, they are the top masters in the firearms industry, because of this box. The things in this are close to the peak, and it is difficult to achieve better results."

"..." Zhao Yu said in silence for a moment: "But I can't believe in the production capacity of Yangping Military Factory."

"So Weichen brought some other drawings." Ouyang took out a paper bag and said, "The key is to master the core technology. Weichen brought heavy artillery structure diagrams, hand-swinging cannon structure diagrams, mine structure diagrams, etc. Except for the requirements of wrought iron inside, there are no secrets. Your Majesty can do this. The Tokyo Manufacturing Bureau will do its best to produce the main parts, and the gunpowder part will be allocated by the Yangping Military Factory. In this way, the construction period will be increased, and the secret is still in our hands."

"I think so. You leave the most time-consuming and most money-consuming things to the Tokyo Construction Bureau, and the lowest cost and the easiest thing to stay at the Yangping Military Factory."

"...Your Majesty must understand this way." Ouyang Khan gave a hand.

"Then will I just need to pay the gunpowder money in the future?"

"Yeah, yes. According to our latest price, the gunpowder after one stone is processed is 10,000 jin."

Zhao Yu looked at the ninth father-in-law, and the ninth father-in-law whispered: "Your Majesty, the average price of one stone before the allocation was 65 stakes."

Zhao Yu didn't spit out a mouthful of blood, but after processing it, it increased by about 150 times. Except for this person, no one dared to rob himself as the emperor so blatantly. Ouyang hurriedly said: "All the world is the king's land. The money of the Wei minister is the money of His Majesty. The Wei minister has a large population. There is no way to eat this one and drink that one."

"Don't you cry poorly. Do you think I don't know? Then wait for reselling horses, then sell the Proton Army, Iron Harrier's army, Leng Linjia and Xixia Sword privately..."

Ouyang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, that's why I'm going to get some money back."

"One stone, one thousand stagnation"

"The weak minister is not a luxury..."

"two thousand"

Ouyang Chenshuo said: "Ten Thousand"

"Three Thousand"

"Your Majesty is the 1950s, with a treasury inside. The poor minister is thick-skinned and not afraid of embarrassing people. Ten thousand."

"Do you believe it or not, I will increase the tax to 80%?" Zhao Yu threatened.

"Then reprice, 18,000 s. "Ouyang lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty also knows how Weichen used money to fill the bottomless pit of the military factory. At that time, Your Majesty had no intention of investing at all, so he watched Weichen jokes with others."

"Investment?" Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, "Ouyang, does your military factory use the Xiang army? Does your military factory use the land of my Song Dynasty? You also said that in the world, is it the king's land? What is the algorithm for this share?"

"Eight thousand, no more." Ouyang said bitterly: "No matter how little it is, I will ask Your Majesty to accept the box."

"Eight thousand is eight thousand." Zhao Yu nodded very satisfied, and every time he saw that he was cheated by Ouyang: "Put the box away. This matter is decided. Now let's talk about the third thing, I believe you have seen it. Tokyo in April is already very lively. Because of the previous martial arts, and the selection of generals of the Hangzhou fleet, this martial arts is not only the court but also the people. It is also the Jin and Liao countries. Do you have any new tricks? Let's listen."

"If you say goodbye to your Majesty, I will go back to my hometown to visit my relatives and promise my uncle that I will not dare to be the chief examiner again. It would be better to ask others about this."

"Have you learned it smart?" Zhao Yu nodded: "Okay, I won't force you. But it's always good to talk about your opinions."

"Well, this sea battle is not as good as the land. First, the equipment must be kept up. The compass and the sea charts are drawn. Weichen is also designing a very simple flag language. It is to use the method of waving the flag to command nearby ships. This matter has been told to Mr. Zhang Xuanming that he will submit a report to the Wu Jinshi to Yangping University for classes. Therefore, the minimum standard for this imperial examination is: literacy and learning ability. Secondly, you must be young, and you cannot be old. It is best not to be a general of a certain army. Weichen does not want to bring some bad habits to him.

In the fleet, the strong personality is, naval battle is a new field, and there must be a saying that failure or failure can be achieved. If you can learn from the lessons of failure, striving for strength is the best. Being timid and cautious because of failure is the middle grade. Being timid and depressed because of failure is the lowest grade. Your Majesty arranges the situation they will lose at that time, depending on their performance. Being trapped beasts still fight is the best grade. Last point, any general must have the quality of living and dying with the ship. The ship is there, and the ship is destroyed and the people are killed."

"...I think you are the most suitable for being the leader of the fleet." Zhao Yu examined Ouyang. This kid was really both civil and military, and he almost didn't understand anything.

Ouyang said ashamedly: "When I returned to Your Majesty, after I had a beautiful wife in my family, I would bring at least eight guards every time I went out. I was afraid of death and could not hold a military position. Civil officials were not greedy for money and military officials were not afraid of death. This is a great blessing for the country."

"That's how you can't be civil and military. You are greedy for money as a civil servant, and you are afraid of death as a military general. What's the use of keeping you?" Zhao Yu asked with a smile.

"this……"

"Okay," Zhao Yu said: "You solved three problems in just a few words. There is still one last problem now."

"Please say it, Your Majesty."

Zhao Yu was silent for a long time and said: "Tong Guan"

"Tong Guan?" Ouyang was slightly surprised. He guessed some of this, but it shouldn't be a problem.

"Tong Guan was named king, and he also has connections in the Ministry of War. Do you know why the Hebei Western Army Plenary Session listened to a military supervisor? It is because over the past ten years, he and his confidants have taken care of the logistics of the Western Army. Once, he was sick for half a month, and the Western Army actually submitted a letter to the court, saying that he didn't know where to go to get food, grass and military supplies. In addition, he was generous and generous, generous, and very polite. When the Emperor was in the harem, concubines, eunuchs, palace maids, Taoist priests who could get close to the royal family, emperor close ministers, etc., he could get a lot of benefits from him from time to time. Therefore, the Emperor often heard good words about him in his ears, which could be called praise. More importantly, he was as careful as he had a strong insight into the Emperor and my psychology, and he could predict our interests and intentions in advance, so he rarely spoke and did things, so he was very happy."

"Your Majesty, you can see that Your Majesty still appreciates Lord Tong, but why?"

"He held a heavy army, but he was good at the ministers and eunuchs. He also had close relationships with local officials." Zhao Yu asked lightly: "Do you need other reasons?"

Ouyang Han, wasn’t he such a person last year? And he had to add that, outside the Liao Kingdom, had a good relationship with Tubo, and had a gap with Jin. Ouyang saw Zhao Yu, but Zhao Yu didn’t touch him and gave him a great favor. Ouyang didn’t know that before winning the battle, Zhao Yu wouldn’t think so. Once he had prestige, people would have random thoughts. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as food and clothing. Ouyang asked: “Your Majesty means…”

"Tong Guan has made contributions to me, the Song Dynasty, and I have no intention of doing anything to him. I invited him back this time to serve as the deputy exam for the martial arts examination. But since you refuse, let him be the chief exam. If he is smart and implying that he is doing the same, he should take this opportunity to resign from the position of Northwest Military Supervisor. The Privy Council still has his place. If you pretend to be stupid, you can only..."

Zhao Yu said halfway and would not continue. No matter what Tong Guan's attitude is, he will not be able to leave once he comes to Tokyo. It can be seen that Zhao Yu has no intention of killing. Ouyang remembered that when he usurped the throne, Tong Guan was the first senior military clan to support Zhao Yu. It was because of the support of the most elite Western Army that Zhao Yu's usurpation was so smooth. With the victory of Han Shizhong in the northwest and the rise of the young general faction, Zhao Yu already had considerable military capital. In addition, the slight control of the logistics of the Western Army over the past year, he could actually go directly to the military camp to attack Tong Guan without causing any other trouble. But Zhao Yu still hoped to be more decent.

Zhao Yu said: "People often say that a third-rank university student cannot compare to a eighth-rank county magistrate. The most important thing is a real difference. But every imperial examination is one, and every imperial examination is at least hundreds, and the most is three or four hundred. With such a huge scale, there are not so many real differences that can be sent."
