Chapter 608 The Great Demon King on the Hall of God
After a while, Xu Le called Ru Xue Xiang.
Xue Xiangru, who was the Minister of War at the time, looked like she was walking on thin ice, but did not lower her head to pretend to be a grandson, but looked carefully at the Great Demon King.
In the past, when I was in Beijing and went to Fanlou, the great devil knew Xue Xiang. This guy was generally a person like Lu Huiqing, and he could really use it, but as the saying goes, birds of a feather flocked to each other, he really had a lot of Lu Huiqing-like temper.
Like Lu Huiqing, he is very capable. But it is different. Lu Huiqing is full of politics and has a few problems with his route, but he is quite honest.
As far as Wang Yun saw, he was almost a guy with financial problems. Otherwise, he was not a noble family, and his salary could spend all his income in half a month with his style in Fanlou.
At the same time, this guy will be the humerus in Wang Anshi's reform in the future. Wang Anshi has really used many similar people to do things, but he has not mastered them enough.
However, as Lu Huiqing's best friend, he also made great contributions back then, and he made great efforts to formulate the Industrial Regulations.
Thinking about it, Wang Yun scolded, "Xu Le, why did you call this guy here? What about the Minister of War? Is it interesting to find a minister to fight against the thunder? He is a big-minded person, right? I'll cut off this department within three days. Do you believe it?"
Xu Le wanted to faint again and whispered: "Aren't you driven away to Guangzhou as soon as you came to power? Have you forgotten?"
"Oh... I remembered it, it seems like this." The Great Demon King said and took another sip of tea.
Xue Xiang and Xu Le looked at each other face to face.
The great devil coughed again and said, "Does Xue Xiang want to go to Guangzhou and Guangnan? I need a lot of gunpowder and the stock is about to reach such a dangerous situation? What else do you say? There is such a big problem and you don't have a boss at the moment, how do you plan to shrink? Who is going to wait for you to take the blame?"
Xue Xiang was anxious and sweating profusely, and he clasped his fists and said, "My husband... is humble, humble..."
Just as the great devil was waiting for him to find a reason with a dark face, Xue Xiang hesitated and said, "It's the fault of a humble official, please punish me!"
"I'm so awesome. I'm worthy of Lu Huiqing's best friend. It seems that everyone knows my temper?" Wang Rong then calmed down a little. "Then let's talk about why he made a mistake. I have to listen to the details."
Xue Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The root cause is that the Ministry of War and the Industrial Department have always been hostile. This emotion seems to be the blood of the two departments. Even if you are in charge of the government, it has not been relieved. In private, officials from the two departments generally do not drink or speak at the same table except when they were originally friends."
"The latest formula for gunpowder has always been unique to the Industrial Department. The gunpowder process of the Ministry of War Military Arts Supervision Gunpowder Shop has not been updated. After the Chen Fan incident that year, the Ministry of War could not obtain the formula authorization of the Industrial Department. Therefore, the Ministry of War could only produce old gunpowder on its own, but even if such gunpowder is given for free, it is not necessary to purchase it."
"The proposal of the joint proposal between the Ministry of War Gunpowder Shop and the Industrial Department Gunpowder Shop was submitted very early, but the officials at that time did not approve it due to some political factors. And then you no longer worked in the Industrial Department, and Shen Kuo refused to accept the original Ministry of War Gunpowder Shop. As a result, the officials of the Ministry of War yelled, 'The son of Shen Kuo only has equipment, old craftsmanship experience, business license, workshop land, and then personally roamed the ground, and the matter was put on hold."
"At this point, the gunpowder smell between the two sides became stronger and they began to fight each other. Shen Kuo of the Industrial Department has been constantly submitting documents on the expansion of the gunpowder factory, and was constantly rejected by our officials. A few months ago, I felt that the Ministry of War's gunpowder stock was tight, and I was already trying to work hard. I submitted several applications to the Industrial Department, hoping that they would open up the new gunpowder technology to the Ministry of War. However, the Industrial Department has also acted like our Ministry of War, rejecting it several times and not cooperating."
"I also tried to convince the officials of the government to put aside their prejudices and discuss with each other with a good attitude, but the officials of the government did not allow them. Beizhi had thought of bypassing the Shangguan and submitting them to the court for review at that time. However, because Fu Bi's signature was basically no one recognized it, and Han Qi's husband was busy dealing with more urgent state affairs and fighting against you. In addition, there were some problems with reporting at the highest level, so he had to continue waiting."
"After you came to power and my Ministry of War was transferred, I thought again. Now I have the final say for a family. In order not to cause more trouble for you, I plan to solve it myself. So I went to Beijing to communicate with the Industrial Department and reached a consensus. I planned to temporarily expand production. The two departments cooperated to form two gunpowder factories for emergency supply. However, because the temporary production expansion is not within the plan, we need to find more sources of saltpeter. I was blind and found that saltpeter does not have enough production capacity for the time being."
"Our two departments jointly intervened, and after the supply of saltpeter controlled by Beijing and Tokyo, we encountered other resistance. Because the amount of saltpeter is not large and the mining has been limited, the jurisdiction of several state-owned saltpeter mines is in the relevant ports of the Ministry of Industry, and the relevant ports of the Ministry of Industry have been to supply these saltpeters in quantity to the southern kiln porcelain. This is a relatively stable foreign trade interest. These interests are from several southern municipalities, and the jurisdiction of the municipalities is in the Sansikou. Now it is the Minister of Han Qi who is under the jurisdiction of the Sansikou. Beizhi is not sure that the Han Qi Guild will give us a green light, but I am careful that if this continues, it will take a long time for various institutions to tug-of-war. I heard that hundreds of thousands of troops are about to be imminent, and the demand of the navy is imminent, so Beizhi does not dare to try to solve it slowly by itself, so I submitted it to you."
When I heard this, even the Great Demon King was half open his mouth, a mere gunpowder, after the urgent change in supply and demand relations, it actually involved so many twists and turns?
After careful analysis, Wang Yun understood him to a certain extent. He was indeed a person like Lu Huiqing. He wanted to show himself and tried his best to solve the problem privately, but he did not want to wait for help to be labeled as incompetent. But at the same time, he had a premonition that even if it could be solved, it would take a long time to delay. He estimated that he was about to need a lot of gunpowder, so he came to Wang Yun to solve it.
After hesitating for a while, Wang Yun looked at Xue Xiang and said, "Okay, I admit that you have the intention of solving my problems and don't want to cause trouble for me. This is good. In addition, you have estimated the gap in the amount of gunpowder required in advance and have started to take action, which is indeed different from the perspective of others. So I will not impose your mistake on this specific incident. But do you know what your biggest problem is?"
Xue Xiang clasped his fists and said, "Please give me some advice?"
Wang Rong said: "You are too obsessed with human relationships and worldly ways, which will inevitably lead to the hindrance of the pace and mentality of doing things. Since you have confirmed that it is a hidden danger in the early stage, don't be afraid of reporting over the level. Everyone's thoughts and behaviors are very three-dimensional. If you don't ask Han Qi to try it, how do you know that he will reject it in order to oppose me? How can you test who Han Qi is? Including now, you have a premonition that you can't delay reporting to me..."
Speaking of this, the great devil threw the document directly on his face: "But look at what you mentioned? You only said that the stock of gunpowder is in a hurry and cannot be delayed, but you vaguely concealed the problem of the cause. You do not want to point out the disadvantages of the system and other departments, and do not want to attract hatred. This is a worldly mindset, not a realistic mentality. You have been a good person, but the face of brother departments and colleagues, but where do you benefit the country? Only solved the headache, but the root cause of the headache was artificially covered up. If I am a stupid official, I will follow you and the mud to treat the headache, what if the hidden root cause of the disease occurs again when my king's counterattack, and the front-line soldiers have no military resources!"
At this point, Wang Yun slapped the table and stood up and said, "Do you think I'll kill a few people and take off a few official hats to solve it!"
"I'm not wrong..." Xue Xiang whispered.
"Okay, since you think you are wrong, then... go to Yinzhou for three years to practice." The great devil said with a difficult expression.
"This..." Xue Xiang was stunned, hesitating slightly.
"Why are you going to resign or to petition?" The great devil said maliciously.
"No... Since it is an arrangement of the court and the need for governing, it is not very important to serve." Xue Xiang nodded with conscientiousness, "I thank you for your gratitude and give students the opportunity to gilt in the 'Funing School'."
The so-called Funing School is the Funing Gang or Funing Party, but the officialdom is called Funing School privately. For this reason, they also gave the Great Demon King another nickname "Principal".
Although the principal's word sounds like some pills, the great devil did not ban these remarks. Because Jilai only had the wrong name and no nickname, it could not be blocked by others, so let him go. In the words of Chen Ergou's mother, it is easy to support a bad name. Whether it is cheap or not when he grows up depends on people rather than names.
"Damn it really is Lao Xue's?"
Thinking of this, Xu Le sprayed out a sip of water next to him, he felt that Xue Xiang was so thick-skinned. The Great Demon King was obviously demoted to him, and he was still gilded.
After finishing the Great Demon King yy, he looked at Xue Xiang helplessly and said, "Okay, you must understand that gilding is barely OK. Xue Xiang, you are really a talented person, just thinking too much and moving too little."
Xue Xiang climbed up the pole: "What Enxiang said is that the students are not responsible for this specific incident, so you asked me to go to Yinzhou to experience it. In addition to trusting the students' vision and using it to station the northwest gate during this period, it was also because the students' relationship in Beijing became awkward after the incident, and it was no longer suitable for the capital during this period. Enxiang now does not need political strategist assistants, but needs the guardians stationed at the end of the world. The students understand it."
Wang Yun said angrily and amusedly: "Okay, if you want to say it, then you will talk about it. What else do you have to interpret it?"
Xue Xiang began to show off his posture: "Students believe that there must be something wrong with Guangnan's resistance policy. The Guangnan general Li Shizhong is neutral, but he has his own thoughts. The military supervisor Lu Gongbi not only has conflicts with you, but he was contrary to you on the route back then. Therefore, Enxiang's deployment must mean that there are hidden dangers in Guangnan, and you have no patience to wait for them to adjust. According to Lu Huiqing's strategy for bandit suppression in Funing County, he fought well. At this time, Enxiang must urgently recruit Lu Huiqing to go to Guangnan to put out the fire, and Yinzhou's industrial center must also have useful people to guard?"
Wang Yun took a deep breath and nodded slightly: "Okay, you're right. Xue Xiang, don't be smart but be fooled by intelligence. The Northwest Guardian is not you, nor is Guangnan Lu Huiqing. My real intention is that I don't want a smart person like you to be more colorful in this large dye vat in the capital during this special period. This will lead to when I should enable you, I should also check the water meter! Believe me, if you should use you or destroy your two choices at the same time, I tend to destroy it because I know that the Song Dynasty does not rely on one person to transfer it."
At this point, Xue Xiang couldn't help but sweat.
Wang Yun said softly again: "The northwest wind and sand are very strong, the climate is harsh but simple. Let's stay quietly for a few years. I hope the northwest wind will blow you cleaner. Think less and do more. People are more important to know themselves. I hope you can understand what I mean."
"Thank you for your hard work for the student to receive teaching," Xue Xiang bowed.
"Get out of here, if you dare to call me principal, I will let you go without a fight." Wang Yun couldn't help but look at him and ran away with a dark look.
