Beijing is a combination of a house, a commercial area and a handicraft workshop area.

However, there are several places that are still different. The first is the imperial palace in the middle, the southern imperial city and the northern inner palace.

The second is the southeast corner of the city, from the south of Dongshuimen to the east of Caishuihemen. This vast area is a warehouse area. According to regulations, the grain alone can be reserved for food that can be eaten by the people in the capital and surrounding areas for nine years. Of course, it is not just food. The loss of this large warehouse alone for one year is immeasurable...

The reason why I chose here is mainly to take advantage of the convenience of the Cai River and the Bian River transport.

Therefore, at the end of Yu Street, Zhouqiao to the east of Nanxunmen, in addition to institutions such as Taixue, there are also a large number of inn areas. After various materials are transported to the warehouse, guests can go to the inn to rest nearby. There are also inns in other markets, but they are not as dense as this inn.

On the top of the storage, Donghuamen is on the east side, a commercial area, and on the west side is a relatively concentrated handicraft area.

Then go to both sides of Yu Street, except for Kaifeng Prefecture and other institutions on Yu Street, where they live, they are all dignitaries, including Zhao Kuangyi's residence, Zhao Pu, Lu Duan's residence, and Cai Jing's residence in the future, which are all nearby.

On the east side of Yu Street, including Jinboxing, Maxing Street, Fanlou, and Xiangguo Temple, this is the largest commercial district in the Song Dynasty. Other places also have large commercial districts, such as the inside and outside of Dongshuimen, Xicheng District and Beicheng District painted in the Qingming Festival, but it is not as large as here.

The last place is outside the Xihua Gate of the Imperial Palace, and to Yanghu Panhu Lake, most of which are the residences of the Wuchen, and the rest is the location of the barracks.

Therefore, it is not far away, and you can leave Xihuamen.

…………

Wang Zhaoming took the guards to inspect a battalion armor.

Some ministers want to persuade him, but they dare not. Armor is not a trivial matter.

After a while, Wang Zhaoming came back. Zhao Xu asked: "How many qualified armors are there, how many unqualified ones are there, and how many seriously unqualified ones are there?"

Wang Zhaoming honestly reported: "Your Majesty, if you follow the rules of the court, less than 30% of the qualified ones will be qualified. The rest will be unqualified, and nearly 40% of the seriously unqualified ones will be."

"Get a seriously unqualified armor to show me."

"Here."

Wang Zhaoming went down and brought a set of armor.

Zhao Xu pulled out the guard's knife and slashed it down with one knife.

Of course, he was not as strong as Wang Zhaoming. Although this eunuch was a eunuch, he was also considered a martial arts master in the Song Dynasty. However, this knife was a high-quality lifting knife.

However, from the beginning to the end, this was arranged, including the battalion inspected, and it was also the battalion with relatively poor qualifications in the armor.

With this force, the armor was in half again.

Zhao Xu squatted softly on the ground and murmured: "How is this so great?"

Wen Yanbo was also confused and said, "Maybe he will be better off."

"Then let's look at another camp." Zhao Xu seemed to have come to the next camp again casually. If it was really casual, it might be better, but could it be casual? After checking, one of his parents raised them, and they were each other.

"Wang Zhaoming. You have been in the military for a long time. Are the same with the weapons and armor of the soldiers guarding outside?"

"Your Majesty, there are many unqualified ones. Therefore, before the Battle of Dashun City, Mr. Cai and Wang Ju changed again and again, and changed countless armors, but still did not replace the unqualified armor equipment."

"How great, how great."

"Your Majesty, this is in a hurry."

"No hurry. There are two evil neighbors of the Western Xia and Liao Kingdom outside. The war may happen at any time. How can I not hurry?"

"No, Xixia orphans and widows..."

"Can you guarantee?"

"Sister, I'm..."

Although there are many ministers in the court, they cannot guarantee it either!

"Duke Wen, please give me an edict and replace these strictly unqualified armors together."

"Your Majesty, no, please think twice."

In fact, Zhao Xu also checked randomly in history, and checked three bows and crossbows, but none of them passed the test, but in the end the matter was left unresolved. First, there was not that much money to replace the silk, even if half of it was replaced, it would be nearly 300,000 sets of armor. If other materials were added, it would cost 20 million yuan!

I can't replace it either. The armor of the forbidden soldiers was not built in one or two years. It was built in n years and it was gradually cast. Now I am changing it urgently, where can I get so many official craftsmen?

In the last change, there are too many tricks in the middle, but there is too much room for fraud.

Therefore, in the end, only an edict was issued, and local governments should buy qualified crossbows from the public as appropriate. For the armor, you have to replace the crossbows with qualified ones, which is cheap.

"Why didn't anyone tell me?" Zhao Xu asked angrily.

That person dares to answer.

Zhao Xu's eyes swept over several priests.

Zeng Gongliang is his own person, so let it go.

Zhao Yan is still good. He even dares to say it out loud, saying that there are too many children in the royal family, but he probably doesn't understand the military, so he can't blame him.

Tang Jie is just a big mouth.

But when he saw Zhao Xu glanced at him with his eyes, Tang Jie immediately turned his head. I will never be fooled by you again this time. A ruling of grace made him "righteous name to the world" and also made him suffer.

Zhao Xu looked at the prime minister of the Western Palace again. Han Jiang was good and asked for reforms many times. Shao Kang was a speculator. This person had to sweep out of the court immediately to leave room for real talented people.

Then he looked at Lu Gongbi and Wen Yanbo again.

Wen Hanfu…

Text is the first.

Do those rumors have anything to do with Wen Yanbo?

In fact, Han Qi couldn't go down, so he asked Wang Ju to rank, but Wen Han Fu was still a minister who was quite scheming, but he was always like watching flowers in the fog and the moon in the water, and no one could see clearly.

For example, Wang Anshi's monk's certificate, didn't Wang Anshi believe in Buddhism? He also believed in Buddhism, but the intention of saving the monk's certificate was to reduce the number of monks. There were too many monks in the Song Dynasty, which affected the normal operation of the country. Of course, it was also to make money. However, Wen Yanbo did it thoroughly. When Wang Anshi was saving the monk's certificate, Wen Yanbo and Master Jingyin gathered 100,000 people to hold a Pure Land Dharma Assembly, which made Wang Anshi so disgusted.

But Wen Yanbo is very smart and rarely quarrels, or just do not talk, and there is not much handle. It is not easy to catch.

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "There are items of armor in Zhuqing's family. In the past two months, a charter must be written to solve it for me."

You can't help but not speak. You must come up with a solution within these two months.

"How great, how great?" Zhao Xu murmured again. This cannot be investigated. No matter where the place is checked, it will be a big black hole.

Everyone was not happy at this holiday banquet.

Wang Anshi didn't speak from beginning to end.

This time it was not his scheming, but it was ultimately a word. Money.

If the armor is good, it is just a deficit, and if it is disaster relief, it is still money. If there is no money, it is just a lot of craftsmen. Can the armor be replaced? If you can't change it, don't say two months, it's only two years, and you can't think of a good idea.

When he returned home, his family was waiting for him to come back.

Wang Anshi said, "Don't be so arrogant. For your father, he met a young and handsome man in the capital. His cunning and talent are only above you, not below you."

Wang Anshi's family has produced many talented women. The four talented women of the Wang family can be kept in history. Wang Anshi's wife Wu, Wang Anshi's younger sister Wang Xiaomei, and Su Dongpo's younger sister Su Xiaomei was the original figure of Wang Xiaomei. In fact, Wang Ju was also curious, so he talked to Xiao Su. Xiao Su was very depressed. Why? You want to hit my younger sister, but you made a mistake. My younger sister died long ago. As a result, Wang Ju made a mistake.

The other ones are Wang Anshi's daughter Wang Ying'er and his niece Wang Youqing.

Of course, not every descendant of him is outstanding. For example, Wang Anshi's eldest son Wang Rong is indeed talented, but Wang Anshi also has an unfamous child, who is the second son Wang Bang.

Moreover, Wang Bang has always been in good health, leaving behind future generations for the Wang family. It is not the history of some Conservatives tampered with. Wang Anshi has been the eighth generation.

Some people even said that Wang Anshi handed over the property to the Cai family and the Cai Bian and Cai Jing brothers for profit.

This makes people speechless. If Wang Anshi had a huge sum of money and did not leave his son or son-in-law, why did he leave it to Cai Jing? Is it because of the same surname Cai? How many children do those with the surname Cai have?

Wang Rong and Wang Bang also asked Wang Anshi to take him to the capital.

The reform had nothing to do with the king's side, but Wang Rong had already participated in it secretly, including offering advice.

"Who is it?"

"That security guard, Wang Zi'an." Wang Anshi said. Armor is indeed a problem, but Zhao Xu's transfer was too clumsy, so Wang Anshi couldn't tell it. However, it did work.

With so many black holes and hundreds of thousands of sets of armor equipment that are not qualified, are you still embarrassed to get involved in cutting the shadow of grace?

And this was not something the little emperor could think of, so Wang Anshi immediately thought of another shadow behind the emperor. But he just thought of it, and he thought of it as if Wang Ju had a small official position and was light and slight, so he stood in the dark, but did not seriously think about standing in the dark.

"Is that Wang Ju from the Battle of Dashun City?"

"It's him."

"I'm reading the book he wrote recently, which is quite interesting." Wang Xun said.

Not only is he reading, but there are also many people reading. Especially in recent years, many disasters have occurred. Therefore, according to the theory mentioned in Wang Ju's book, some people say that disasters are natural phenomena. They advise Zhao Xu to be content with peace of mind.

Then Fu Bi became anxious and said that the emperor was not afraid of the sky, so what else was he afraid of? All these statements were unsatisfactory.

"Those are all paths, so it's better to read them less."

"The boy just took a look. What did that Wang Ju do? It seems that he is not in the capital."

"Today's New Year's Eve palace banquet, the officials took the ministers to the barracks and randomly checked the armor and equipment. Most of them were unqualified. The officials were so angry that they ordered the ministers to come up with a strategy to solve the problem within two months."

"Two months, these guys who have been living in corpses for two years can't come up with a strategy!" Wang Xun said sarcastically.

"The drunkard's intention of the official family is not to drink, but to be kind. If there were no such incident today, after the Lantern Festival, many ministers would attack the order to sanction the order."

"This order of sacrificing aspiration is quite powerful," Wang Rong said, pointing directly to the root of redundant officials. But Wang Anshi could not say it, even if he thought of it, he could not say anything else. He was in power, one was the Han brothers, and now he was working hard to make friends with Lu Gongzhu. As soon as the order of sacrificing aspiration was released, the Lu and Han families were also hurt.

"Behind these things, it seems that there is something to do with that son..."

"In this way, that kid is amazing."

"It's not just amazing..." Wang Anshi sighed, thinking that Wang Ju is not simple, but when he thought about it, he couldn't think of the reason, but Wang Anshi felt strange. After taking a sip of tea, Wang Anshi said, "After this boy returns to the capital, you can make friends with him."

Wang Anshi will not come forward anymore, the status difference between the two is too big, but it is enough for his son to come forward.

"Friend him well?"

"Everyone can value him, you are not ashamed to make friends with him!"

ps: I caught a cold since yesterday afternoon and had a drip water. I have only gotten a little better now. I broke my promise and made up for it from tomorrow. There is another update later. (To be continued...)
