The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 56 Tribute to the Empress!
After leaving Cai's Mansion, Zhao Fujin asked General Han Shizhong to send the accompanying Forbidden Army troops back to the camp, changed into a light cavalry car, and drove towards Nancheng.

When they arrived at Chongmingmenwai Street, Zhao Fujin asked Han Shizhong to park the car next to Taiyuan University and then jumped out.

Han Shizhong found a horse post and tied the carriage and horses skillfully. He turned to Zhao Fujin and asked, "Is the official going to Taiyuan University?"

Zhao Fujin shook his head and said with a smile: "Where are you going to Taipei University? I will take you to see something fun!"

Zhao Fujin's face was full of smiles, but Han Shizhong remained expressionless and said "oh" without saltiness.

"Again?" Zhao Fujin frowned. He wanted to get angry, but after thinking about it, he relaxed his brows and sighed softly: "Hey, forget it, I know you are not beautiful in your heart..."

"The last will not dare!"

"Do you think I don't keep my word?" Zhao Fujin asked as he walked.

Han Shizhong followed behind and muttered aggrievedly: "You said back then that you would let the last general take charge of the world's troops..."

"Don't be anxious. Mr. Zhong is already old. This post of Privy Council can only last for a year and a half at most. You are still young and there are plenty of opportunities." When Zhao Fujin said these words, he felt a little uncomfortable. Sorry, I look like a pastry master now.

When I tricked Han Shizhong into joining the gang, I was really talking too much.

Let Han Shizhong rule the world... This cake is too big.

Because Han Shizhong had no problem being a general or a commander, but he couldn't sit in the Privy Council and strategize. This was equivalent to putting Zhao Zilong in Zhuge Liang's position and completely abolishing his martial arts.

But the pie is already drawn...

"In the official family, the general knows that he is not a privy envoy, and he cannot control the world's troops. However, this time when discussing merits and rewards, Zongze, who has not made any achievements, even mentioned the Minister of War. The general is aggrieved!"

Speaking of Zongze, an elderly civil servant did not make any contribution in the defense of Kaifeng.

Zhao Fujin transferred him to Kaifeng Prefecture and Minister of War. Many people were puzzled.

Naturally, Zhao Fujin couldn't explain to everyone that Zongze's talent did not lie in commanding troops to fight, but that he was born to be a big brother. With his upright face and majestic and domineering temperament, Can he really win over talents? Even Yue Fei, a rare talent like Yue Fei, is willing to be a subordinate in front of Zong Ze, let alone others?

This kind of attraction of people is so mysterious and cannot be explained clearly.

Seeing that Han Shizhong was indeed wronged, Zhao Fujin stopped, turned to Han Shizhong and said, "Don't worry, I will live up to you!"

General Han Shizhong was doubtful: "Can I lead the troops to fight?"

Zhao Fujin pointed to the Nancheng Arms Manufacturing Institute not far away, and said with a smile: "Not only will I let you lead the army to fight, but I will also equip you with the most powerful weapon in the Song Dynasty! Let's go to the Weapons Manufacturing Institute to see what I have done. What have you prepared!"

Han Shizhong was instantly happy and followed Zhao Fujin in a hurry, heading towards the Nancheng Art Institute.

Kaifeng Nancheng Manufacturing Institute was the largest arsenal in the Song Dynasty, and its output accounted for one-third of the weapons and equipment in the entire Song Dynasty.

There are more than 5000 craftsmen and military craftsmen working alone, and including the temporarily hired private craftsmen, the number exceeds [-].

The annual output is more than [-] pieces of various types of armor, crossbows, and siege equipment, more than [-] million longbows and divine arm crossbows, and more than [-] million arrows.

In front of the gate of the Zaozuo Academy, there was a guard by the imperial army. When they saw Zhao Fujin and Han Shizhong strolling towards them, they shouted sternly: "This is a place where military weapons are important, no entry is allowed!"

Zhao Fujin was not angry and took off his seal and handed it to Han Shizhong: "Take it and show it to them."

Han Shizhong waved his seal in front of a group of forbidden troops: "Hurry up and report that the officials are here!"

These Imperial Guards had long heard that the new official of the Song Dynasty was a daughter of an eminent woman. After seeing the seal and looking at Zhao Fujin, they all bowed: "I have seen the official."

Zhao Fujin waved his hand: "No need, open the door, let me go in and take a look." After entering the Nancheng Zaozuo Academy, Zhao Fujin suddenly felt like he was in a military restricted area. There is a sentry every five steps, a post every ten steps, and arrow towers can be seen everywhere. The living area and the creative area are also clearly divided, just like a city within a city in Kaifeng.

The editors and co-judges of the Zaozuo Academy had already received the news. They were shocked and rushed to the door to greet him.

You must know that the last time an official of the Song Dynasty visited the Zaozuo Academy in person was when Zhao Er was in power a hundred years ago. All subsequent officials have never deigned to visit the Zaozuo Academy.So Yingjia's editor and co-judge didn't know how to proceed.

Zhao Fujin smiled and waved his hand: "Let's go, take me to the craftsmanship workshop."

The editor was a little embarrassed: "The official workshop is dirty and hot..."

"What? The craftsmen can go, but I can't?"

The co-judge quickly explained: "Dirty heat is the second best...it's just..."

"Okay, don't be nagging and lead the way."

There are a total of 51 workshops in the Zaozuo Academy, including a siege workshop for siege equipment, a crossbow workshop for crossbows, a drum workshop for military honors, and even a special workshop for burning fire oil.

Zhao Fujin chose the largest crossbow workshop with more than a dozen blast furnaces. Craftsmen were responsible for melting iron, molding, condensation, and shaping. The shaped arrows were then transported to the woodworker, where female craftsmen inserted feathers and assembled them. Finished making an arrow.

Zhao Fujin estimated that the temperature in the Gongnufang was at least 40 degrees. All the craftsmen only wore thin underwear and were very busy.

Seeing that the editor suddenly brought a woman in, the craftsmen turned around curiously and took a closer look...

What a big deal!

This woman's appearance is so stunning that a normal man would be unable to hide his reaction after just one glance at her, let alone wearing only a thin panty.

Salute to the Empress!
The editor and fellow judges of the Zaozuo Academy wanted to die.

Han Shizhong almost drew his knife and wanted to cut someone.

Zhao Fujin finally understood what his co-judge just wanted to say.

Fortunately, Zhao Fujin said: I am here to see you, which instantly cooled down the temperature of these craftsmen, and the embarrassing scene disappeared in an instant.

"Before I came to the throne, I have been thinking, where is the backbone of the Song Dynasty? In the arrogance of the literati, in the bravery of the soldiers, and in the hearts of the craftsmen of you. Without you, our millions of heroes in the Song Dynasty would be without sharp weapons. Without the confidence to protect our country and our country, your contribution is not only in this small arrow, but also the most important part of the backbone of our Song Dynasty. I hope you will master your skills and seek changes and innovations. If you have the spirit, When the army comes out, I will grant you the title of marquis and prime minister!"

With these words, Zhao Fujin was not trying to make a fool of himself.

If any of these craftsmen can really seek changes and innovations and come up with something to fight against the cavalry, Zhao Fujin would really not be stingy about making him a marquis or prime minister.

After leaving the crossbow workshop, Han Shizhong muttered: "I didn't see any big weapons, but I did see a lot of big pants..."

Zhao Fujin glared at him: "If any of you tell me what happened just now, I'll take your heads!"

After saying that, Zhao Fujin turned to the editor and asked: "Half a month ago, I asked a man named Shen Qiong to come to work in the workshop. Where are the others?"

The editor was stunned and turned to look at his fellow judges: "Is there such a person?"

The co-judge thought for a moment: "Yes, yes, yes, he said that he was following the official's instructions to figure out a... some drawing, and I arranged a small workshop for him, right in the back."

Zhao Fujin nodded: "Take me to have a look!"
