Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1125 Driving Change
Of course, this is because he turned a blind eye on purpose. Since the Wang family has decided his own destiny, he just respects it. Even if a weak woman can enjoy the glory and wealth, so what?If the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, there will be no freedom. It is better to settle everything.

For this young and beautiful woman who destroyed the country, the melancholy eyes and the similar story made him finally decide to keep silent, and he felt pity deep in his heart.

Just before disembarking, he told Zong Liang to give money to those Xiagong Palace people at the right time, and let them go their separate ways, which is considered a comfort. As for their fate, it can only depend on one's own luck.

After a series of cumbersome handovers, he took leave of absence from the court, and unexpectedly hid at home behind closed doors to thank guests. Naturally, he was watching his three sons and enjoying the family happiness.

Indeed, he got married and had no children in his early years, but now he has three sons at once. He is really caught off guard. Hearing and seeing the feeling are completely different, which makes him stay at home unexpectedly.

When he appeared in public again, he participated in a meeting of the Privy Council to summarize the gains and losses of the Northwest War and discuss the shortage of the forbidden army.

It is pointed out that the various shortcomings of the forbidden army exposed during the war, the most important thing is that the formation of the forbidden army should be changed again, the proportion of various arms should be optimized, and the proportion of chariot soldiers and firearms should be increased.

Although it didn't say who it was, everyone was like a bright mirror in their hearts.

Chariots and firearms have proven in war that the value is worth investing in, and no one can argue against it.

Wang Xiu proposed to formally form a chariot army, and asked the commander of the chariot army to organize two chariot brigade towns, one infantry brigade town, and the corresponding supply brigade town and horse barracks, and also to manufacture a large number of simple medicine arrows to increase the damage of crossbow arrows. Power and so on.

Li Gang expressed his support for Wang Xiu's plan, and frankly said that in order to fight a more tragic decisive battle, the imperial army must make major adjustments. The establishment of the chariot army is imperative, and two to three chariot armies must be formed.

This is a big deal!The cost and consumption of the three chariots are almost equivalent to all the infantry units of the Northern Guards, which is simply a heavy burden.However, the record of the chariot soldiers left the general speechless, and it would be good to increase military expenditures.

A new round of changes in the Forbidden Army has started. The establishment of Che Jun is just one item, but it has given businessmen an opportunity.

"Wenshi, although the chariot soldiers have made great achievements in battle, the cost is indeed huge. It is a challenge to set up three armies. I am afraid Shen Shizhi will not be happy." Li Gang said that the cost is huge, but in fact he is very willing to see the chariot Soldiers form an army.

Originally, he was not in favor of forming chariot soldiers. Gai You once attacked the Jin army with [-] chariots, but he was defeated, thinking that chariots were outdated.

That is to say, Wang Xiu tried his best to promote it, and reluctantly agreed to form the Chariot Brigade Town. When he saw the sharpness of the Chariot Bing, he immediately aroused his interest. There are not many famous officials who can leave their names in history, regardless of their loyalty and treachery. It's a fool. I went to the Japanese army chariot barracks several times to watch it, only to realize that the chariots are different from the military chariots and baggage carts of the past.

The continuous battle reports showed that the new chariot was capable of both offense and defense, and was completely capable of confronting the horse army. He continued to learn about it, and finally changed from hesitation to firm support.

Wang Xiu smiled very reservedly. He knew that new things, new technologies, and new developments needed to be proved by practice. He believed that in the future, the reform of the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty would advance to a deeper level. Shine bright.

Take the formation of the imperial army as an example, it is also necessary to carry out a more flexible organization, so that each brigade and town can fight independently, and even each battalion has independent combat capabilities, which requires a more rationalized formation of the imperial army.

Today, the weather is good, he asked Li Gang to go to Shangqing Yunxiao Temple, but he just took Xu Zhong there quietly.There was no other way. He and Li Gang were the prime ministers and deputy prime ministers of the two governments, with high positions and powers. It was always bad to meet in private.

Instead of riding a horse or taking a special carriage, I went there in a carriage.

Instead, we should talk about the new changes in Jiangning Mansion in the past two years, the development of the horse-drawn carriage industry, and the laying of a large number of cement roads, which can reflect the development of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is not uncommon to hire horse-drawn carriages. This industry has existed for a long time, and it has also developed into a long-distance business. It is very convenient for residents to travel.

However, Hangzhou took the lead in proposing the concept of municipal development. The academic officials headed by Fei Su facilitated fixed-point routes for horse-drawn carriages, mainly on arterial roads inside and outside the city. Stations were set up every thousand steps, and only one four-wheeled carriage arrived at the station within a quarter of an hour. Carrying passengers back and forth is the prototype of the bus, and academic officials apply what they have learned.

Of course, the random hired car dealers did not lose their jobs. According to Fei Su's suggestion, they all changed to two-wheeled light cars, reflecting the speed and convenience.

The merchants in Hangzhou were active in their thinking, and they naturally saw the excellent "money way". If they had money, they would be fools if they didn't make money. In this way, the chariot and horse company headed by the Wang family and Shi family in Hangzhou was established.

Station-style horse-drawn carriages are convenient for citizens to travel. Five stations for one copper coin, or one station for two coins and irons can also make consumption affordable for citizens. It is much faster than walking. For citizens who cannot afford light vehicles, it is definitely a Convenient and cost-saving choice.

Naturally, good experience should be spread. Fei Su went to the court and asked to promote it in Jiangning Mansion, but Jiangning Mansion didn't think it was very cold.

The businessmen in Jiangning didn't want to. Seeing that others made money, but they couldn't make money, what kind of thing was this? Eventually, they made a fuss and alarmed Zhu Lian.

After understanding, it is a new thing, and it was started by the academic school with the children of the Wang family as the core. It can solve the lives of a group of people and facilitate the travel of residents. This is a good thing!She told Zhao Chen, and ordered Jiangning Mansion to handle it quickly.

In this way, Fei Su's good governance was promoted, and the main roads in Jiangning set up vehicles. Those are four-wheeled vehicles that can carry 20 people. The speed is not too fast, and it is definitely more convenient than walking.

It can be considered that it has only been implemented for half a year, and it has been praised by scholars and people, and everyone is willing to spend money to enjoy it. Some businessmen even proposed that while implementing it in other military states,

It is also a pioneering work for Xingzai to open regular round-trip carriages with the surrounding Junzhou.

Usually, although there are rental cars back and forth, it is because of people and things. There will be stops, and there will be regular and regular trips back and forth. The appearance is similar, but the meaning is quite different.

Sometimes, looking at the same affairs, just a change in one link determines the issue of influence.

Both a four-wheeled carriage and a two-wheeled carriage are horse-drawn carriages, but they have completely different rigidities for future generations. No matter how the two-wheeled carriage develops, it cannot enter the automobile age, but the four-wheeled carriage can be logical. With the industrial revolution, entering the automobile age is also Wang Xiu Develop the four-wheeled carriage without giving up the purpose of steam engine research.

Wang Xiu came here in such an unobtrusive way, feeling the convenience, said: "Are you coming in a four-wheeled carriage?"
