Shenkeng system

Chapter 112 Northern Song Version Latent

"Let's just listen to you! There are so many things, you seem to be able to predict and plan everything..." Gao Qiu smiled wryly.

"Lord Taiwei, don't make fun of me!" Zhao Si laughed, "I have been taken care of by the Taiwei all this time, and I am grateful. Naturally, I have to think about the Taiwei! It is necessary to fight a snake. Kill him, don't mess with him if you can't kill him, this has always been the reason..."

"That's right! Now one is to stop angering Lin Chong, and the other is to find a master to set up defenses. This old man still understands the truth!"

"Master Taiwei can let go of the grievances in his heart. Thinking of this, the lower official will feel relieved..."

"Okay! Then you take a good rest and wait until you recover..."

"The business of sorting and making paper that I mentioned to your lord, can now start preparations... First, buy a large amount of willow wood, moso bamboo, wheat straw, straw, etc., and select a group of capable people, preferably those who have previously made paper. The craftsmen who are good at work... When the lower senses get up, they will design the machinery by hand, and then guide the adults to build the factory."

"Okay! I'll let you worry about it!"

"According to what your lord said, everyone who has money earns money, and lower officials also participate in dividends. Of course, the sooner this matter is the better..."

Gao Qiu laughed loudly, patted Zhao Si on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes! You should take good care of your wounds, and the old man will go to prepare!" Gao Qiu laughed and left.

In order not to aggravate the injuries caused by the bumps, Zhao Si was taken to his residence by Tong Guan after he was injured, and he stayed there all the time. He Wenyu, Zhao Si's personal maid, was called to take care of him.

Of course He Wenyu can't be in Tong Guan's house all the time, she is the only person who can be trusted by Zhao Si's side, and of course she has to go out to do some necessary things. Is to go home and get some change of clothes.

During this time, He Wenyu went shopping and bought some rouge and gouache...Of course, some people stared at her, and the things brought into Tong Guan's house were checked by others in the name of concern, but with their wisdom and level , Of course, there is no flaw, although they found that among the things they brought, there was a stack of paper with complex design drawings for weapon manufacturing drawn on it!
"what is this?"

"This is the latest weapon design blueprint of the Military Weapons Supervision! My lord said that he will look at it and change it! This is a big secret of my dynasty, you'd better return it to me..." He Wenyu said confidently.

Of course, people in Tong Guan's house know about Zhao Si's work, and they have also seen or heard about Zhao Si's huge contribution in weapons manufacturing. In this picture, you can see that they are all bows, pulleys, axles, levers, etc. Design sketches, as well as drawings for powerful decomposition and synthesis, labor-saving analysis, etc. Only Zhao Si and the skilled craftsmen trained by him can understand these pictures. Of course Tong Guan's dog legs can't understand them, but I heard what He Wenyu said. , and returned it to her politely.

"Sister, you can be considerate of us! After all, this is the residence of the privy envoy, so the rules should be stricter..."

"It's all right! It's all routine. We servants, of course, have to be considerate of each other... Our adults are bothering here, and I'm very sorry. Many things are troubled by brothers. This is a point of our adults. Xinyi, please have a glass of wine, brothers..." He Wenyu sold a whole purse of broken gold, and at first glance it was more than a dozen taels...

When everyone saw it, their eyes lit up, they quietly rolled up their sleeves, and their attitude became more respectful and polite. From then on, He Wenyu became like one of his own...

The things He Wenyu brought back were naturally mixed in this stack of design drawings. He Wenyu lit the brazier and baked the words on the paper. Wang Wendao sent the people he wanted, namely the old man Jiao Erpi , the alert and flexible Qian Weijia, and the others were all chosen by these two people.

Jiao Erpi has been brewing wine at Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu's side, and the technology has been completely passed on to Zhu Fu. Later, he and Zhu Fu developed methods of mixing and storing wine. Strong, good wine that doesn't dry out the mouth after drinking and doesn't hurt the head, and brought out a group of people, all of them were brought into Bianjing this time; Qian Wei's family has basically grown into the general logistics of Wang Wendao and He Sanhuai. Yes, the Qian Wei family is in charge of dispatching all logistical matters. With natural management talents, everything is in order...

According to the letter, now the two men have each selected [-] capable men, making a total of more than [-] men.Of course, some of the women also came. They were domestic prostitutes and singing girls who escaped from rich families. If the women are placed on the mountain, they can be sewed and mended, cleaned and washed by the old and weak women and children. It is not very useful. Now that they have come to the capital, since they are going to open tiles, they may still come in handy!These women have gone through several months of ideological education, and now they should be reliable!
This group of people will stay in separate hotels when they arrive in the capital to avoid making too big a target. The two leaders, Jiao Erpi and Qian Weijia, will live in Wuhuju and wait for Zhao Si to send someone to contact them at any time... The letter also expresses their concern for Zhao Si was dissatisfied with Qian Wei's able-bodied general who wanted to leave, saying that if Qian Wei's family didn't pay attention to cultivating newcomers, once Qian Wei's family left, the logistics would be in chaos!

Zhao Si smiled and said: "This Wang Wendao has learned to complain to me! But it seems that everything is still in order on their side, which makes me very happy! However, it is not a way to go on like this..." Zhao Si Some distressed Road.

"what happened?"

"The firearms on their side were almost exhausted after the great battle, and a large part was occupied by Wang Lun. Now they are deadlocked on the lake, and they have to guard against the attack from the court. They lack firearms. , any force can destroy them! Therefore, I am still quite anxious! If I can hand over the secret recipe of gunpowder to their own preparation, then this problem can be solved! But I can’t give the secret recipe of gunpowder to anyone. There are too many people, and I myself have been stabbed because of this thing... It is a trivial matter to be stabbed. This thing spreads to the world, and I am a sinner... This matter is very entangled..." Zhao Si handed the secret letter to He Wenyu, burn on coals...

"It is indeed a troubling matter! There is no one worthy of your trust right now. If they are dead soldiers, you can give them the secret recipe, and they will definitely not reveal it..."

"That's not the case at all. I believe that my uncle and Wang Wendao will not take the initiative to reveal the secret recipe, but a lot of things come from precautions. People who covet this secret recipe also have a group of smart people. They can't directly get the secret recipe. , but through finished product analysis, ingredient analysis, and countless experiments, they will finally be able to get the correct formula for this thing..."

"You are so clever, don't you have a way to restrain gunpowder weapons?"

"Of course there is, but it's just a more powerful explosive! Weapons have always been advanced to suppress the backward..."

"Then temporarily let them build castles and overhaul fortresses. Can we try to send them a batch of finished gunpowder?" He Wenyu asked.After such a long time of hearing and seeing, she has now been able to intervene in this regard.

"Yes! Building castles and building fortresses, this is a good suggestion! Let them do it when you write a letter! Anyway, the method of burning cement and big green bricks was taught to them. When Tongguan's dividends at the end of the year come down, give them Try to send it to them, all kinds of materials need to be bought... As for gunpowder, the emperor, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others are not stupid. They are not confused, they have already created a strict gunpowder control system, once the civilians find military gunpowder, they will cut off their heads without saying a word, the risk is very high..."

He Wenyu nodded and said, "Then what should I do?"

"After a while, I will figure out a way!" Zhao Si smiled, "Don't worry, I will try my best to hold Tong Guan here and not attack Liang Shanbo. As for the confrontation with Wang Lun, they are Lips and teeth depend on each other, so they won't fight, and I think it will be fine for a year or so!"

"That's good!"

So according to the meaning of the previous conversation, Zhao Si dictated that He Wenyu dipped in milk and wrote the letter. After drying, it looked like a piece of white paper!He Wenyu used this piece of paper to wrap some snacks. The reason was that the snacks in the privy envoy's mansion were delicious, and he wanted to bring some back to satisfy the cravings of the sisters at home... Although Zhao Si's mansion is small, there are still many servants, big and small. Yes, the maid is naturally managed by He Wenyu, so this reason is very good!
"Write another copy to Jiao Erpi and Qian Wei's family, tell them to wait for a while, let Qian Wei's family try to fabricate a clean background for everyone, first try to make a living for everyone in Bianjing, and tell them to do it first Get up, when the time comes to open up our tiles, when we recruit people, we should recruit them and make everything look logical and natural. The group of people who are staring at us will naturally investigate!"

"Why don't you let them open it, we're behind the scenes..."

"Of course we want to be behind the scenes, but what can we do in Bianjing? Opening this thing, because it was opened according to my idea, it must be a particularly mixed place. Of course, we need to find a big backer , Only when the backing is big enough can we be able to cover it! This backing is naturally Tongguantong Privy Council! However, if we want to rely on this backing, of course we have to be watched and checked! As long as nothing is found, then It's okay, we make money second, it's justified to let Tong Shumi make a lot of money, our purpose is to manage power in the capital, as long as this stall spreads, we will continue to develop people..."

"I see! Your scheming is really amazing!"

"It's not so easy to do things in the heart of the enemy! We have to be careful and careful, that's why we don't wet our shoes when we often walk by the river..."
