A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

In the workshop, when the machine tool was cut and positioned and polished under the guidance of the academy students, the craftsmen were all happy.

"How did you come up with such a good thing?"

"This is a treasure! If we get a hundred and eighty sets to put them around, we can save a lot of effort."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Everyone else thinks we are arrogant, but the king is very close to us. This kind of prince... we have never seen before in ancient times!"

"After today, I will get the money and food I have been waiting for, and my wife and children at home will be happy and encouraged again. This is all the kindness of the king..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The craftsmen bowed, and Zhao Xu smiled and said, "That's all, it's just a small matter."

Looking back, he said to the officials who were sweating profusely from carrying earth and machine tools: "The people are simple and honest. They shed tears of gratitude just after getting their things back. Do you have any thoughts?"

If nothing else happens, he will definitely be the future prince, so the officials dare not neglect him.

Someone said: "The folk customs are simple and honest. This is the moral inspiration of the officials and their meritorious education."

"Moral inspiration is not as good as adequate food and clothing." Zhao Xu didn't like these words of praise for the saint. "As for enlightenment, the craftsmen couldn't resist, so they chose to endure. This has nothing to do with enlightenment."

Well!

The high-sounding words were blocked back, and the officials looked at each other in embarrassment, feeling that this king was really too sharp.

"Your Majesty, the gloves are here."

Several bullock carts entered the workshop, the sacks were opened, and inside were bundles of snow-white gloves.

"Come on, try it."

When pairs of gloves were put on those rough hands, the craftsmen were terrified.

"It's so soft, so thick, and so white. Little people would never dare to use such a good thing, never dare!"

"Wear them all." Zhao Xu felt a little sad, thinking about these craftsmen who contributed to the country, but their money and food were deducted, and their work was in vain. In the end, they didn't even have any protection.

He hurried back to the palace, and met people from the Imperial City Division arresting officials on the way.

"Question carefully and deal with it strictly!"

For this kind of officials, he always believed that they should be thrown to the frontier to work as coolies and at least make some contributions to the Song Dynasty.

He hurriedly entered the palace. After receiving the report, Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Who is this to make you angry?"

Han Qi said: "Your Majesty is young and full of energy, but who is not young and full of energy? I think that as long as there are no big mistakes, it is best to just sit back and consider it a good thing."

This is a free-range policy.

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Is this how Han Qing raises his children?"

this……

Han Qi did not dare to deceive the emperor, "I am eager to learn, and I always keep an eye on him."

The free-range policy requires parents to have a big heart, otherwise the child will become suspicious at any change.

"The king is here."

Zhao Xu came, and after saluting, he said straight to the point: "In the official family, there are few craftsmen in the workshop because of corruption and extortion. Those craftsmen went elsewhere looking for opportunities, and craftsmen from other places refused to come, so there are fewer people."

Everyone only knew that Zhao Xu had sent someone to tell Zhang Bianba to get someone, and everyone was watching with smiles, wanting to see what he was going to do today.

But I didn't expect that I would mess with this.

Not bad, at least we can catch corrupt officials.

But that was not what Zhao Xu valued. He frowned and said, "The tools in those workshops are all old. I asked the craftsmen and they said that no one cares about this. The officials are busy trying to please the superior. As long as the instructions are given, Once the swords and guns are forged, that's it. This is inaction, mediocre officials! These officials are just waiting to die... How can the weapons of the Song Dynasty improve in the long run?"

Do nothing, be a mediocre official, wait for death...

A series of scoldings made Fu Bi and Han Qi a little uncomfortable.

We two old men quarreled several times over this matter, but neither of us thought to find out the reason behind it. According to the prince, are we not doing anything?

Definitely yes!

Damn it!

If such a prince succeeded to the throne, the officials of the Song Dynasty would probably cry!

The prime ministers and assistants felt uneasy, but they felt relieved after thinking about it.

We are all in our fifties and sixties, and by then the grass on our graves will probably be three feet high, so it has nothing to do with us!

So they observed a moment of silence for the latecomers, and while they were gloating over their misfortune, Zhao Xu unexpectedly turned his gun.

"The Han Prime Minister and the Rich Prime Minister have been arguing about this for the past few days, but the dispute is about attitude, rather than thinking about how to solve the problem. People say that the prime minister is in a high position, and maybe some people say that such an important minister should not care about such small things, but I I think that state affairs are no small matter and there should be disputes, but have you settled the matter before arguing?"

Zhao Xu held up his hand and said, "I'm still young, but it's disrespectful to say this."

Then he asked to resign.

"Go ahead and have a good rest today."

Zhao Shu watched his son go out with relief, and then a small official who was accompanying him today came.

This is the ear repaying God.

"The king was very close to the craftsmen in the workshop today, and even made a round of iron. There were several blisters on the palms of his hands..."

this……

Zhao Shu leaned forward slightly, feeling that his son did not cherish him too much.

Although he had endured hardships, he had not done much work and had only a handful of experiences with blisters on his palms. But every time the pain made him uncomfortable for several days.

"The king also asked the craftsmen to use dirty hair to pierce those blisters..."

Zhao Shu sighed, knowing that his son was probably emotional.

Then the conditions in that workshop must be very poor.

"The king also said something about thermal expansion and contraction, and the craftsmen all praised it. Later, the king's words shocked the stewards and called out the corrupt officials."

Han Qi praised: "The king is brave and brave. This is a blessing to your majesty and a blessing to the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Shu said with a smile: "He is still young, so he does not deserve such praise."

"The king sent people to Mangshan Academy to get that bed. The craftsmen said it was useful."

Han Qi smiled and said: "That is Shen An's treasure. The king actually asked for it, which shows that he pities those craftsmen. The Song Dynasty has such a kind prince, and I congratulate your majesty."

"I congratulate Your Majesty."

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "He is still young."

At this moment, Zhao Shu was extremely satisfied, but he was reserved and humble.

Most fathers are similar. When others praise their children, they will say a few words of humility.

"Later, before the king left, the craftsmen shed tears of gratitude and said that no official had ever cared about them, but they did not expect that the king treated them with the dignity of a prince and showed great concern... Many craftsmen cried."

"Is that so?"

Zhao Shu was finally moved, stood up and said, "I thought he was just going through the motions, who knew this kid was so thoughtful."

Han Qi praised: "Your Majesty, I have read a lot of history books, and I would venture to say that since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there are almost no princes who can compare with the king."

This has almost been removed from Zhao Shu's mind.

"Go and check, check those workshops carefully, and warn the officials that those who abuse craftsmen will be severely punished!"

"yes."

The ministers and assistants went out. When Zhao Shu returned to the harem, he patted his forehead and said with a smile: "I forgot before. According to them, I am not as good as Da Lang."

Gao Taotao was puzzled. After he mentioned Han Qi's previous praise of Zhao Xu, he smiled and said, "The officials should be happy if they are better than their masters."

Zhao Shu nodded, "He seems to be silent, but he has been watching the government affairs. Today he reached out to ask for the right to handle this matter. I thought it was a whim at first, but now I know that he has intentions... This child is good."

Someone came to report later.

"Guan Jia, all the workshops in the capital have been notified, and the craftsmen are saying that Guan Jia is kind to you... and also said..."

"What else did you say?" Zhao Shu was in a good mood.

"And he said that the king is wise!"

After saying this, the servant looked at Zhao Shu cautiously, fearing that this matter would trigger a backlash from the officials.

The emperor was ruthless, and even father and son would fall out for power.

The craftsmen cheered for joy, but they brought Zhao Xu with them. This was a bit taboo!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zhao Shu laughed, but Chen Zhongheng looked carefully and saw that he was truly happy.

"Okay! Come and take a tour of Qingning Palace."

"yes."

This is because Zhao Xu is happy and loves the house and the bird.

After everyone left, Zhao Shu looked outside in a daze, and after a long time he said quietly: "My son is very outstanding... There is no shortage of crown princes in the Song Dynasty. You were right to choose me after all."

From Zhenzong to Renzong, the princes of the Song Dynasty had a difficult time and had always been a problem. But when Zhao Shu came here, not only did he have several sons, but the eldest son was also smart and capable. Even the prime ministers and ministers were full of praise, which turned this tradition upside down.

…

Shen An heard about this at home, but did not interfere.

"Brother, I want to write."

After breakfast, Guoguo went to study consciously. Shen An said in surprise: "Why do you love studying so much?"

Zhao Wuwu, who was dragging behind, said: "After we have glass windows, the little lady likes to read and write under the windows."

Shen An smiled and said, "This is a novelty for children. It won't last long."

Zhao Wuwu glanced at him and felt that this man was extremely accurate and had a unique vision.

"Guardian, this glass is valuable, why not sell it?" Yang Zhuoxue felt that this was not in line with the title of her husband, the Song Dynasty God of Wealth.

"We still have to wait for She Hui to bake it! That Taoist doesn't like money. If I hadn't used the experiments and raised those Taoists as bait this time, he would have been holding on."

Shen An was helpless with such Taoists who didn't care about fame and fortune.

"Mr. Lang, someone came from the academy and said that someone came to buy a lathe."

"good!"

Shen An stood up suddenly and laughed: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

He went all the way to Wuxue Lane, where Wang Yu had already been waiting outside the academy gate.

"how?"

Shen An raised his eyebrows.

Wang Yu said: "A few well-informed businessmen, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net, somehow knew what the king said in the workshop. Later, some craftsmen revealed the benefits of the machine tool, which attracted them. Yes…but do you want to keep it a secret?”

Shen An shook his head and the two of them went in together.

Wang Yu was worried after all, "If the secret is discovered by merchants from other vassals... what will they do if they imitate it?"

"Can they get a hard blade?"

Shen An's words made Wang Yu come to his senses.

"A certain person spent so much money and pointed out the direction for She Hui. Even so, it took several years to achieve some results. How can those people just watch and learn from the sidelines?"

Shen An smiled and said: "If he can, then he is a genius..."

No, if he could, he must be a time traveler.
