Wang Ju didn't want to get involved and said slowly: "Duke Wen, I said that military weapon supervision has many disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that we do not build weapons and armor in normal times. When the war comes, we have to raise a large number of craftsmen and do nothing.---When the war comes, the craftsmen work overnight, and the armor they build is mostly unqualified. Therefore, I advised to allocate funds every year to build weapons and armor in case of unexpected needs. Although this will be necessary to increase some expenditures from this year, it will be a way to save money in the long run. And the armor manufactured in the future will never be as terrible as His Majesty has seen before."

"I heard that you fired many craftsmen."

"Your Majesty, this is indeed true. After reorganizing each of the institutes and bureaus, I have conducted assessments on each craftsman, and some unqualified craftsmen have been persuaded to leave one after another. For details, I will write another memorial to report to Your Majesty tomorrow."

This process is a bit slow. Wang Ju first reorganized, and only stored five libraries, and the manufacturing is divided into six hospitals.

All other irrelevant departments will be laid off.

Five kus and six kusities and one supervisor, this is the current military weapon.

Then the officials who were eliminated and retired were given 20, ten, and five, and five, respectively, from work to craftsman to study in the first and second year. In the third and fourth year, they gave 5, and five, and then found their own way.

It is also stipulated that the time for studying in each college should not exceed three years, and the three-year assessment will be conducted. According to the situation, the official craftsman who fails will be eliminated, so as to avoid all officials from extorting themselves in disguise.

This time, the elimination was a bit fierce. Nearly 5,000 official craftsmen were eliminated, and it was not over yet. It is estimated that after the end, the ** thousand official craftsmen could be eliminated. Next, this bloated institution worth 30,000 was compressed by nearly one-third.

After the officials and craftsmen were eliminated, they were all officials.

Because it is not over, some have reported it, while others have not reported it.

"So, this time, the cost of manufacturing and replacing tens of thousands of Poche military armor has nothing to do with the internal storage. The internal storage can be allocated or not."

Sucrose is definitely making money. But Wang Ju is not sure how much money he can make.

However, many of the operating rights of cotton and pit mines, Maritime Manufacturing Corporation were transferred to the shipping department. If the warehouse has suffered a considerable loss, sugar will definitely not make up for this loss. From the overall national economy, Xue Xiang did it right, but it hurt the warehouse's revenue.

This is the contradiction and one of the reasons why Gao Taotao was displeased. Bijian had more children from the royal family, and just to support the children of the royal family, it took a lot of money to spend a year.

But it has nothing to do with Wang Ju.

Wang Ju paused and said, "I beg your Majesty again to open the Maritime Warehouse in Mizhou."

Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was a bit miserable in this regard.

First of all, the changes in the Yangtze River. By the Song Dynasty, the estuary of the Yangtze River was moving eastward, while in the Tang Dynasty, the estuary of the sea reached Yangzhou, so the sea boat could go directly to Yangzhou. However, the Tang Dynasty did not pay attention to its navigation at all, and even prohibited the people from flowing, let alone flowing abroad. However, in the Song Dynasty, it could only set up a Maritime Warehouse in Hangzhou, then transfer to the Yangtze River through the Grand Canal, and then transfer from the Yangtze River to the Grand Canal Bian River. This risk is no less than that at sea. The difference is that river transportation, and the requirements for monsoons are not so strict.

Secondly, with the changes in national power, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun became the territory of the Liao Kingdom, and they did not dare to establish a port in Dengzhou, so they could only establish a port in Mizhou. They then moved from Mizhou to Jishui and entered the capital from Wuzhang River.

Wang Ju proposed that the Mizhou Maritime Warehouse was based on several considerations. When the quantity was large, if the quantity was developed in the south, if you could use the sea route, you could directly transfer the goods from the south to the north.

The other is sucrose.

With the unification of Kapok's Secret, Ge Shaohua became a grassroots officer of Kapok's Secret. However, Wang Ju did not let Sanshi intervene in this sucrose. Xue Xiang did not understand it for the time being, and did not propose to intervene.

According to Wang Ju's instructions, Zhao Du found Haike, which is the key.

The neighboring countries of the Song Dynasty were influenced by the Central Plains and were relatively civilized, including the Maritime Silk Road, but Luzon was relatively backward. However, the areas facing southward Kaihua were all along the sea routes, and Tianzhu did not have sugar sugar and did not lack related sugar products. In other words, the real market for sugar was still the two countries that Wang Ju hated, Goryeo and Japan, or some of them would circulate from Goryeo to Khitan.

But new problems are coming.

That is the trend of foreign trade, not as later generations thought. The Song Dynasty was developed and sailing would make money for the Song Dynasty every year. The reason is simple. These countries are far poorer than the Song Dynasty, which means that there are more goods in the Song Dynasty, so where can I get money to buy them? Therefore, the Song Dynasty sold less and bought more.

It also caused a large amount of copper coins and gold and silver to flow out, gold and silver to Dashi, and copper coins to Liao, Goryeo, Japan and the South China Sea countries. This is because many ministers of the Song Dynasty did not understand it, and Wang Anshi was deceived soon and was defeated in the Song and Liao currency war.

It may have been a little better in the Southern Song Dynasty, but this is the case in the Song Dynasty at present. However, Wang Ju still agreed with it, because some currency was lost, but this transaction, from trading to transportation to production, not only would it support many foreign barbarians, but also many Song people.

Or like a city later, I said that the goods bought in mainland China occupy a lot of land, can I calculate that? The pull behind is the real big head! To put it bluntly, the value generated by his purchase in Japan only one Spring Festival before he went to Japan to purchase, which was enough for Japan to produce 100 fighter jets.

Later generations and him will always be two different time and space, but they can be learned from them.

After Zhao Du asked, he also noticed this situation.

It’s not that you can’t sell it, but the key is how to sell it? There is only a little product in Japan, and there is no way to trade it.

So Wang Ju wrote a letter, saying that after he went to Japan, he followed the volcano to find silver mines, and asked Japan to mine the silver mines in advance. As long as there was enough silver, the currency tension in the Song Dynasty would change.

Once the Song Dynasty's currency is no longer tense, with the economic development of the Song Dynasty, it will undergo earth-shaking changes.

The second is to let Japan log wood.

In fact, when Japan traded with the Song Dynasty, the wood was already big, but now it is mostly expensive wood, and it is made into boards and loaded onto the ship. Wang Juxin has another method, which is to let the seaguards make wooden rafts and drag them to the Song Dynasty along the monsoon.

But this drag. With the current navigation situation, it is also necessary to explore, but it is not difficult. Not only sugar, but also other commodities. What the seamen are suffering from is the items that Japan has not traded. The amount of wood required by the Song Dynasty in a year was amazing. Once the market was opened, the transaction volume surged. Merchants were profit-seeking, and the profit might be 100% of the profit. As long as you remind me, many smart people would come up with solutions.

Moreover, Wang Ju used his power to study a reliable compass and even wanted to create a Song-style sextant.

With these two things, navigation will become safer.

However, as soon as the transaction volume is large, the cost will be increased invisibly. This is also one of the reasons why Wang Ju proposed to establish a Maritime Shipping Service in Mizhou.

The third is that the output of gunpowder surges, and the sulfur demand increases almost at a rate of percentage per year, while the source of sulfur is still the Ryukyu Islands. The demand used to be unrelated, but as the demand increases, the cost has to be considered.

However, it is not so urgent yet, so Wang Ju did not write a memorial. Zhao Xu and Wen Yanbo asked, and Wang Ju simply mentioned the stakes.

"Mizhou is too close to the Khitan," Han Jiang said.

"Han Gong, it's okay to separate the Mizhou Maritime Warehouse and other Maritime Warehouses, allow Song Dynasty merchants to transport goods for trading, and allow foreigners to enter Mizhou. However, if they are not Song Dynasty merchants, their activities are limited to Mizhou and they are not allowed to leave Mizhou and go to other places. Besides, the deterioration of the soil and soil in Shaanxi is also caused by too much wood cut down, which not only deteriorates the soil and soil in Shaanxi, but also harms the Yellow River."

"I'm sure of this." Zhao Xu said.

Wang Ju said that the reason for opening Hong Kong did not deliberately mention sugar, but mainly talked about the south.

But once it is developed, the south is also very important. It does not cost much to build a Maritime Bureau. However, once it is built, it is equivalent to an additional road to the south.

Everyone was silent.

The main reason is that its interests are not much related to the powerful. Perhaps some timber merchants in Shaanxi suffer some losses. If they don’t know how to do it, just turn one direction.

Therefore, dozens of ministers were not thinking about Maritime Affairs, but Sugar.

Wang Anshi was very confused. Cotton understood that these are items for wearing covers and cold protection products. However, how much profit can this sugar have? There is a comparison, frosting, how much profit can frosting make in a year?

Wang Ju was also wondering. So many big guys were sitting together, obviously discussing a major event, but Zhao Xu summoned him to come. Could it be that those armors were just for Jingyang?

Sure enough, Zhao Xu sent eunuchs to hand over several memorials.

Wang Ju opened it and read it, and he wrote something.

In April this year, the Western Xia envoy Xue Laofeng came to the Song Dynasty and proposed to exchange the Anyuan Passmen Two Forts for Suizhou.

Xue Laofeng had to pass by Yanzhou for the first stop, and Guo Kui wrote a letter: This is the place where Zheng Shang is 600 miles away!

It is an allusion. During the Warring States Period, Chu and Qi formed an alliance. Qin was worried that he would send Zhang Yi to Chu to lobby King Huai of Chu, which was the fool who exiled Qu Yuan. Zhang Yi told King Huai of Chu that if the king could cut off contact with Qi, I would ask the King of Qin to offer 600 miles of land in Shangyu, and let the woman of Qin serve as a concubine to serve the king, and Qin Chu will always become a brother country.

King Huai of Chu really believed it, so he immediately sent an envoy to cut off relations with Qi, and then sent someone to accompany Zhang Yi to accept the land. Zhang Yi returned to Qin and "falled" from the carriage. He was injured and did not attend court in March. When King Huai of Chu heard this, he said, "It was probably because I was not completely severing diplomatic relations with Qi." So he sent warriors to Song, borrowed Song Fujie, and went to Qi to insult King Xuan of Qi. King Xuan of Qi was angry and beheaded Chu Fujie, and made friends with Qin.

After offering the land, Zhang Yi said to the envoy of Chu, "I have the six-mile fief given by the King of Qin, and I am willing to offer it to the King of Chu."

King Huai of Chu was furious and sent troops to attack Qin. As a result, Qin Qi defeated Chu in a terrible way, allowing Qin to take the opportunity to seize Danyang and Hanzhong.

This is what Guo Kui means. He cannot believe the words of the Xixia people. He dares to regard us all as a bastard King Chu Huai.

However, to his disappointment, there were really many King Huai of Chu of the Song Dynasty, including Fan Chunren!

Han Jiang was negotiating with Xue Laofeng. With so many King Huai of Chu forced him to discuss, he had no choice but to discuss it. Then he looked at the letter of the country, which had a line of words on it. Gou got Suizhou, please offer Anyuan and Semen Seji.

Why do I want this to be a scattered? Therefore, Han Jiang asked: "What is the field of two scattered?"

Xue Laofeng said: "How about having the clothes of a savior who keeps his leader?"

Han Jiang believed it.

When Xue Laofeng went back, the two countries sent envoys to exchange. The Song Dynasty sent Zhao Hu and Xue Chang to Yanzhou and made an agreement to exchange on the same day. Guo Kui still didn't believe it and said that it was OK to change it. You Xixia first hand over the territory of the two villages to the Song Dynasty, and our Song Dynasty returned it to you Xixia again.

The Song Dynasty now occupied Suizhou, but did not occupy the entire Suizhou, which was about half of the area of ​​Suizhou. The two villages of Saimen and Anyuan originally belonged to Yanzhou and Baoan Army, which is the Tumen area, including the northern part of the Baoan Army. This area is not small and can barely settle the subordinates of Weimingshan. Of course, it is far less than the area of ​​Suizhou occupied by the Song Dynasty.

So Guo Kui made this statement. First, our Song Dynasty has a better credit than you Xixia people.

The second thing is that you Xixia took advantage of this change.

The third morality is also reasonable for our Song Dynasty. It is wrong for our Song Dynasty to violate the agreement to occupy Suizhou, but it is also wrong for you Xixia people to occupy Tumen. Now let’s exchange it together, then there is no place for our Song Dynasty to be sorry for you Xixia people.

In fact, after Li Yuanhao sent troops, the Western Xia occupied not only the Tumen area, but also the Quye River and Hulu River. The Tumen area was considered large in area. The Song Dynasty also occupied some places in Xixia, such as Dashun City. Overall, the Song Dynasty suffered more losses, but few took advantage.

Then change it.

After pushing Xue Laofeng, he pointed to the two villages and said, "I agreed with your Song Dynasty officials to exchange for Suizhou, two villages and villages, and the villages are the same. Besides, where is the boundary?"

Zhao Feng was confused and exchanged two village bases for Suizhou. He thought hard, but finally came up and said, "There were thirty-six earthen castles north of the two villages, and the Great Wall Ridge was bounded by the Great Wall Ridge. The books moved by King Xiping (Li Deming) Xiangfu are still there."

In other words, Li Deming wrote this in his letter to Emperor Zhenzong of Song.

Now it was Xue Laofeng's turn to be stunned.

There was no way to deceive, Xue Laofeng had to go back. Zhao Feng had not changed it and could not return to the capital, so he wrote a letter to Yanzhou: "If we don't have the original Song Dynasty, what's the use of ruins of these two cities? Suizhou will use troops to Xixia, but if we don't use more troops, the border preparations will not be relaxed."

So as soon as Wang Ju came in, Zhao Xu asked Jingyang how to use the instrument armor.

What's so bad is that at this time, the court issued an edict asking Guo Kui to burn several forts in Suizhou together.

So after accepting Zhao Hu's memorial, Zhao Xu was shocked and asked Wen Yanbo, wondering if Suizhou still exists?

It is you who take the lead in changing, peace, and burning Suizhou Castle, otherwise you might be so passive.

Wen Yanbo was stunned and dared not answer. Zhao Xu had no choice but to summon the important ministers to discuss. These ministers were also stunned. At that time, more than 90% of these ministers wanted to change and be peaceful. They were in a hurry and did not know what to do.

Zhao Xu knew that Wang Ju had worked hard during this period, especially when laying down official craftsmen, it was not casually cut. Before each cut, Wang Ju personally presided over the assessment. After so many official craftsmen identified, how could the task be less heavy?

However, these ministers did not speak together, so Zhao Xu had to send an eunuch to call Wang Ju to discuss matters.

Wang Ju was also a little confused. He glanced at Wen Yanbo and said that it was so fussy. You can still think of giving Wang Anshi an eye drop, okay!

Wen Yanbo doesn’t want to touch him for the time being, and there is no need to touch him. The person he touches is Wang Anshi.

He put down these memorials and asked: "Your Majesty, and you all, even if you exchange the original territory of Tumen for Suizhou, Xixia is still a good deal. Why don't Xixia change it?" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
