In the fifth year of Xining, apart from being a little sad when Hebei suffered a locust plague, the Song Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief, so the content of the chat between the few people was full of relaxation.

Su You and Zhang Dun introduced their respective political affairs. Su You was concerned about the military and civil affairs of Shaanxi, and emphasized the need for policy continuity to Wang Anshi and Zhao Xu.

Wang Anshi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mingrun, the policy of separation of military and political affairs you proposed is good. Zhongshu has decided to implement the method of placing generals in Hebei and Shaanxi after the year! By then, I will rely on you to recommend more generals in Shaanxi."

The method of establishing generals and the method of general warfare are one of the few good methods in the new law.

The Art of War is a reform of the military system, which changed the four-level organization of the Forbidden Army from the four-level organization of Xiang, Army, and Battalion to the three-level organization of Generals, Troops, and Teams.

The purpose of the Art of War is to make soldiers know their generals, train their generals, and improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

With the same meaning as Su You's "Wude Song", Wang Anshi also suggested to cancel tattoos on soldiers and "reward them with etiquette and righteousness". After the implementation of the large camp system, they will lead their own soldiers and the soldiers will know each other, and there will be no need for tattoos to distinguish the soldiers and generals.

At the same time, the army was streamlined, the old and weak were eliminated, and military camps were merged.

Those who are not up to standard in terms of height, physical fitness, or can't pass will be eliminated and sent down step by step until they are no longer civilians.

In rural Baojia, those with strong military skills can be selected to join the army as an exception, and they will be paid a salary no matter what job they do.

After adjustment, there will be 37 generals in Gyeonggi Province, 42 generals in Yanyan 5th Road, 13 generals in Southeast 6th Road, and 92 generals nationwide.

All military positions are trained by "the envoy who has tasted the war formations", "teaches them in the morning and evening", and "practices martial arts day and night".

This is also a rare "non-brain method" in the new law.

Shaanxi actually tried it out early, and now it is effective and the military has been boosted.

Cai Ting was mentioned to the Privy Council and served as Deputy Privy Envoy. He suggested that Wang Anshi implement various methods in accordance with the Shaanxi military system. With Wang Anshi's strong support, the art of war began to be developed under Cai Ting's auspices.

Of course, Suyou strongly supports this.

Speaking of Shaanxi's military affairs, Wang Anshi remembered something: "According to Wang Shao, from Weiyuan to Qinzhou, there are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land abandoned and uncultivated. I hope to use the market to benefit merchants and use the proceeds from business

Manage farmland.”

"However, Li Shizhong, the economic and strategic envoy, said that Wang Shao did this because he wanted to occupy the fields of the Tibetan archers on the border. He was worried that after the Yisi moved to Guwei, the troubles in Qinzhou would only increase, and in the end the gains would outweigh the losses."

Su You looked at Zhao Xu and said, "What Li Shizhong said is roughly true. What Wang Zichun said about fertile land being abandoned for farming, I guess is not very reliable."

"Qinzhou gold and copper are now the banknotes of Shaanxi. Shaanxi is now administratively divided into four lines. The four lines of economy all depend on Qinzhou, which can reduce the burden of central transportation."

"What Wang Zichun said is suspected of being eager for quick success and flattering Zhongshu. Even if there are thousands of hectares of fertile land in Xinde land, development issues can only be considered after the war situation in Xihe is stabilized and the Xinde area is stable. Now that Mu Zheng has not been captured, He

The state has not yet completely stabilized, so can he be free to do this?"

"But having said that, in the area of ​​development, the chief officer must also give enough freedom."

"Wang Zihou stayed at the border for ten years for the sake of the Song Dynasty. Even if he had some small calculations, it would definitely not be for his own selfish interests."

"I suggest that those who should be investigated should still be investigated, and those who should be warned should also be warned to prevent local military officials from abusing their power; but at the same time, we should also let the people below him reach the top and let them speak freely, so that we can understand the real reason behind his behavior.

reason."

"I wonder if Wang Shao encountered financial difficulties? Could it be that during the division and adjustment of Shaanxi, some princes' financial resources for raising soldiers were cut off? For example, the goods needed for trade with the Tibetan people, such as the supply of goods to the Qin Dynasty in Sichuan

Is there something wrong with Feng's silk and tea?"

"These secretaries should take the initiative to care, analyze the pros and cons, and make good judgments. Only then can local governments reduce friction, clarify goals, and fulfill their responsibilities."

Zhao Xu was impressed when he saw Su You talking freely: "Mingrun has been trained in practice in the past two years, and he has become a lot smarter."

Wang Anshi also appreciated it: "Mingrun is indeed a capable person, so the next difficult appointment should be no problem."

Su You couldn't help but smile bitterly. Wang Anshi said it was difficult, and with his current rank, he didn't have to guess what his position was.

But it was hard to ask any more questions, otherwise it would appear that he was too keen on his official position, so he talked about the specialties he had brought back, and shamelessly asked Zhao Xu to buy some of them as a sign of encouraging trade between Shaanxi and the mainland.

Then the conversation entered a relaxed and happy stage. Zhao Xu scolded Suyou for limiting the supply of kerosene candles. Why did you bring back so much luncheon meat with ham sausage? Don't think I don't know that half of it is flour.

Su You said that this is a new product. With the extruder, the casings of this batch of ham sausages are made of animal hide glue, and the cost has been greatly reduced again.

The inner skin of cattle, pigs and other animals is cleaned, treated with acid and alkali, ground and gelatinized, then pressed into a film, complexed with salt water, desalted, and dried to obtain a packaging film similar to casings.

With this, the smoked sausage can be made into a brick shape, packed and sealed for storage. It has excellent performance as military rations.

So Zhao Xu was tempted again, and agreed to purchase as much as possible, and then distribute it to the ministers as a New Year's benefit. If everyone has no objections, even Su Mingrun, you have contributed to the meals of the Song Dynasty sergeants.

Let Su You and Zhang Dun take advantage of the upcoming vacation to have a good rest. New appointments will be announced after the year.

Zhao Xu also gave them a banquet. Su You and Zhang Dun were regarded as meritorious officials, and Zhao Xu would certainly give them the honor they deserved.

After the banquet, he thanked everyone and learned some etiquette. After leaving the palace, Su You went directly to Shifu.

The situation in the Shi Mansion is now different. After bottoming out, the Shi family has become an important partner of the military.

The children of the Shi family now occupy technological high ground in several large bases in Sizhou, Shangzhou, Qinzhou, and Zhengzhou. They are called people who do everything without asking for help.

Nowadays, Hong Jiang would not dare to give face to the senior technicians of the Shi family in the Shangzhou Zhou case; such as Shi Fu, a national treasure-level work by a master with all-round clamping, turning, milling and boring, it is a treasure that even the Prime Minister Gao has to hold and coax.

He is an inconspicuous and seemingly unpromising big shot. He is always on the right-wing path. His high position is just that he just met the ambassador and received a post in the Fourth Army.

But it controlled the most critical part of the Song Dynasty's military production.

Some time ago, a mythical story came out from the Ordnance Supervision. There was a problem with a lathe, causing the scrap rate to be too high. Prime Minister Gao organized public relations for the technical staff. Chen Zhaoming and Shen Kuo calculated for several days, but they could not find the problem.

Finally, Prime Minister Gao sent a carriage to pick up the old man. The old man reached out and touched the machine tool that was running, and then called the maintenance and management member of the Shi family over: "How many turns do you want to turn the base screw?"

The boy was confused: "I don't know."

Shi Fu started with a slap: "Fifteen circles! The one in the upper right corner is not in place, half a circle is missing!"

After checking, it was indeed the case, and then the problem was solved.

This move completely shocked the cadres from Gao Envoy to Shen Kuo.

The old man is now in Shifu, holding Bian Gu's little hand and letting him jump on his lap.

When Su You entered the hospital, the first thing he saw was a little duck made of brass and white copper on the ground. There was a copper key on its back, which was used to wind up the clockwork.

But now this little duck's neck has been twisted. Needless to say, it was all caused by the flat can.

Su You was so heartbroken that he almost burst into tears: "This, this, this... this is a treasure... why did it fall like this..."

Shi Fu disagreed: "I have made a lot of small flat cans. Next time I will make a movable duck neck for the flat can, with a sleeve on the outside and a spring on the inside."

Then he took Bian Gu's little hand and kissed it on the mouth: "Lulu Lu... So we won't be afraid of our little Bian Gu falling? Isn't that right? Xiao Bian Gu..."

Xiao Zhan Gu giggled and thought it was very fun to swing around with his uncle.

Only then did Su You discover that the old man's recliner also had a lot of mystery to it.

It can rotate and shake, but there is no sound at all: "This chair is good...move it to my side later..."

Shi Fu rolled his eyes at him: "Let's wait until you become an official. You are now a high-ranking official, and there are rules for everything you do and do."

Then he continued to talk to Bian Guan: "Lululu... Silly dad still wants a rocking chair, so we won't give it to him, right? Uncle made a rocking bed and a small trolley for Xiao Bian Guan, and he will give it to Mu Ke later
Chapter completed!
