Many people are familiar with the bird in Zhao Bing's hand now. It is the kind of iron bird that almost everyone has a piece of power in his childhood. Of course, he replicated this not to relive his childhood dream, but it was really useful, but it was made on a whim. "Quge He regards as a treasure as a treasure is actually a piece of power. In modern times, this is a common thing, but in the Song Dynasty, he can't buy it even if he has much money.

To make strips, you must first have good elastic steel. This kind of steel can not only be used as strips, but also springs, but such a small thing has troubled Zhao Bing for a long time. When making a crossbow, you need to use spring blades to control the pawls. At that time, things were urgent and could only be made of the so-called "hundred-fried steel" steel, but it also became a nightmare. The crossbow often malfunctions due to the failure of the spring blades during use and needs to be replaced frequently. Fortunately, it was very troublesome during training, which would seriously affect the firing level, and the use of flowering bullets and even endanger the safety of the gunner.

At that time, Zhao Bing could only calculate the failure rate of the spring sheet, calculate the average value, and then formulate a safety value, and replace it regardless of whether it is good or bad when it reaches the value. Although this ensures safety, it can increase the number of maintenance times and the storage of spare parts. You must know that in this era, ten kilograms of cooked iron can only obtain a kilogram of "hundred-made steel", and it is fully manual operation, so a lot of manpower and material resources are consumed. However, this is still secondary, mainly because it will delay the opportunity to fight in wartime.

Therefore, after entering the court, Zhao Bing, who was idle, asked the craftsmen to try to improve the process to reduce costs and improve quality. Of course, they also had to conduct experiments, so a stable platform was needed. He thought of strips to test the elasticity, toughness and fatigue resistance of steel, and this jumping mechanical bird was also jumping. But if a little witch was not optimistic, he was caught and wanted to play. How could Zhao Bing be willing to do it? As a result, he caused such a farce of being chased by a group of children...

Zhao Bing used a trick to make them make trouble and he was done while running around, but suddenly he saw Wen Tianxiang looking at him with a look, and realized that he might feel that he could not even give up a toy with others. He felt that he was too stingy. He could only pretend that he was unaware and dismantled the bird quietly, taking the opportunity to explain the importance of this thing, rather than being reluctant to leave it. This was not because of his own thoughts. He knew that Wen Tianxiang was generous in life, treated money like dirt, and rarely convinced others. After a long talk, he had just left a good impression on him, and he could not be ruined by a bird.

After appeased this person, Liu Fu said again, "One peach kills three soldiers." This sentence was not the case, but was extended from the allusion of "two peach kills three soldiers". The original meaning was that there were three famous warriors in Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period: Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, and Gu Yezi. They were very skilled in martial arts and courage, and made great contributions to the country. The three of them were like each other and made great contributions in the court. Because they were self-reliant and had great contributions, they were very arrogant and did not take other officials seriously, and they even did not respect Yan Zi, who was then the prime minister.

Yan Zi saw it and was worried, worried that if their power grew, they would threaten the status of the king. So he paid a visit to Duke Jing of Qi to say his thoughts. Although Duke Jing of Qi felt that it would be a pity to eliminate the three brave generals, Yan Zi's words also made sense, so he handed over the task of eliminating the three men to him. Yan Zi asked Duke Jing of Qi to give him three men and two peaches, and asked them to eat peaches in terms of merit, which eventually led to the three men and died. This story was originally a praise for Yan Zi's strategy and wit, and Liu Fu used it in this way to praise His Majesty for his intelligence and strategy.

However, Zhao Bing felt a little shocked in his heart. He knew that later generations were not all praises for Yan Zi's plan, and they were often used to refer to the murdered person. It also reflected a kind of sadness and cruelty at the political level. The official ideology regards centralization as supreme and believes that maintaining the rule of the monarch is the most important. Even if the generals who have made great contributions have more military power and greater appeal, they will naturally become thorns in the monarch's eyes, thorns in the flesh, "the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook", and become a misfortune and ending that the generals who dominate the battlefield are unable to get rid of. Their value of existence is only when the enemy attacks, when the monarch is in danger of life, when the world is peaceful and singing and dancing is full of peace, it is time for them to end.

Zhao Bing thought that the most touching thing about this story was the "gentleman style" of the three warriors. In fact, the weakness of the three people Yan Zi used was not their recklessness and arrogance, but their gentlemanly demeanor. They were proud at the beginning and all valued their own achievements. However, Gu Yezi's words made the other two feel ashamed. When they felt that they had done something wrong, they would rather use their lives to make up for the shame. This is a very noble spirit. Gu Yezi's later actions were the same. They all demanded themselves with the norms of gentlemen, and they were plotted against.

However, Zhao Bing knew that a gentleman would inevitably encounter walls everywhere in the harsh and despicable political struggle and could not escape the fate of failure. This was very similar to Wen Tianxiang's situation. How could he not know the evaluation of Yan Zi by his first-class scholar? He knew that Wen Tianxiang was still waiting for the crime, but perhaps he did not expect that Zhao Bing could not be careless. Because of a seemingly inconspicuous trivia, he hurriedly changed the killing of the three sages to surrendering the three sages.

Surrender and kill seem to be a word different, but their meanings are very different, which also shows Zhao Bing's attitude towards the situation of the dynasty. Now that the whole country is falling, the elites are withering, and fewer and fewer people are available. The dynasty is the last blood of the Song Dynasty. Although they have different purposes and different ideas, the purpose of resisting the Yuan Dynasty and restoring the country is the same, otherwise they will not persist until now. If they use extreme methods, killing a group of people and expelling a group of people can ensure that they can take charge of power and monopolize the power, but it will inevitably weaken the already weak strength of the Song Dynasty.
