"I have seen the methods used by Xiaobao against Shilla. I guess Japan can't bear it for too long. This is the power of the economy."
Concubine Wu Hui became more and more fascinated by this.
"It is the power of the entire Datang, without military support. I play tricks and people will directly hit me. With military support, I use trade to clean up people. Even if there are a few smart people in the other country, it can't stop it.
Because their rulers were afraid of losing their power and status, they had no choice but to let others cut off the meat one by one, sacrificing the interests of the people, and slowing down their time of subordinates, like drinking poison to quench thirst. "
Zhang Xiaobao left a sentence and pulled Wang Juan to find a relatively quiet corner to continue discussing disaster relief. The messengers in the family came and went, sending orders to places where King Zhang's family traded around Tubo.
The generals of Datang also rested and chatted together, but no one mentioned martial arts, let alone any hint, that they couldn't afford to lose that person.
Therefore, I’m just talking about how many peppers can be planted this spring, how many new wineries will be opened when the food is sufficient, a training range has been built in the north and west of Beijing suburbs, take the time to compete, etc. In this case.
"In Tubo, the climate is fickle, and it's uncertain when it will fall on the ground, otherwise, why would you always come to Koubian before?" Pei Guangting drank two sips of wine, feeling comfortable, and said with squinting eyes.
Zhang Shougui picked up the bowl, took a sip, and exhaled: "There is also a place around Fengzhou, where it rains everywhere, there is still freezing, and there may be dozens or hundreds of hailstones a year. Just like the rain in the south and the flood disaster, it is not human-powered to resist."
"How can it be irresistible? It depends on who is going to fight it. Look at Fengzhou. In the past two years, I have heard that the pastures that feed cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock have happened? Sanshui County sends a lot of flowers and plants to the capital every year, and it is in the early winter. , Why don't people's flowers and plants be afraid of frost?"
Zhongshu Lingyuan Qianyao's voice sounded, he was in charge of six departments, and was regarded as a civilian by the generals.
The recent days have been very busy. In the beginning of the spring, local taxes were directly collected into the capital, and the documents submitted by the local government were immediately required to be verified and then allocated to the local government.
The seeds of Sinong Temple were allocated to localities for trial planting, and with the rapid development, local officials had ideas to live up to, and submitted proposals, changes in local development models, and so on.
Yuan Qianyao was too busy with his own Chinese books, and found Zhang Zhong and Wang Chao, as well as Jiang Cen, a Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry, a Shangshu from the Ministry of Households, and a head of Sinong Temple.
As for the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple, they are not available for the time being.
Just halfway through the discussion with the three people, the intelligence agency of the imperial court sent news that there was heavy snow in Tubo and the roads were completely sealed.
Don't mention how depressed Yuan Qianyao was, he finally got Wang Xi and Zhang Zhong to sit together to discuss matters, but was interrupted. If Wang Xi had a temper again, the meeting would fail.
So Yuan Ganyao had to rush to Furong Garden to discuss disaster relief. Chi De Zuzan and Princess Jincheng returned to her natal family. There was something to do in Tubo, so he had to pretend to be anxious. When Wang Chao thought of using the household department, he also asked Come here, Zhang Zhong missed his son, and the same goes for it.
Seeing that all three of them were going, Jiang Cen naturally followed.
As soon as I walked in, I first met a group of military commanders. Listening to what Zhang Shougui said, he retorted with the literati's self-proclaimed Yuan Qianyao.
Without waiting for Zhang Shougui to say anything, Wang Xi helped him and said: "Sanshui County is different from other places. They have a complete disaster prevention mechanism. When the frost falls, they will set fire to the fire in advance, and the Yamen of Sanshui County will organize the staff and pay for it.
What is given out is the basic money specially used for disaster relief. The people there are more obedient. If you give up the basic money, according to your actual situation, you can give out more than five words, and some will be less.
When you wait for prevention or when you are in a disaster, take it out and replace it with people in other places who are willing to pay. They will worry that the money will be greeted by the yamen. Is it Mr. Zhang? No one is afraid of your family there. "
Zhang Zhong did not deny this time, nor was he humble. He nodded slightly: "Exactly, Sanshui County is my home. How can I allow problems there? Sanshui County officials, when doing things, they must first think about my home. Attitude, think about whether the people approve it, think about whether you are worthy of that official uniform."
"Master Zhang said, for example, in my hometown, I will give them seeds, saying that I am using power for personal gain or saying that I don't forget my hometown. I will always do it. If the local officials don't work well, I will also clean them up. "
Jiang Cen favored Zhang Zhong and followed suit.
Wang Zhao was silent, because they were saying that he was not good enough and did not take good care of his family.
Zhang Shougui was dissatisfied with Yuan Qianyao’s words just now, and now he smiled at Zhang Zhong: "I didn’t finish talking. Natural disasters and manpower are irresistible. Try to keep it, Master Zhang, can the Ministry of Industry have something new to make recently?"
The other generals also responded with kind smiles to Zhang Zhong, and they attributed Zhang Zhong to the military officer's side instead of the civilian officer.
All because of the functions of the Ministry of Industry and Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao.
The generals did not regard Zhang Xiaobao as a civil official and did not care about the economy, but he was very aggressive towards the outside world.
New things developed by the Ministry of Industry must first be considered for military use. In addition, Wang Juan himself is in charge of the teaching of the military academy, so he must show the closeness he deserves.
Wang Zhu's face became gloomy, and his kindness was not rewarded.
Regardless of what Wang Zhu thinks, Zhang Zhong summed up slightly in his mind, and nodded: "Yes, recently I will study another weapon to hit hailstones."
"Hail?" Zhang Zhong said. Even Wang Chao forgot to be angry. He used artillery to attack the city and guns to hit people. How to hit the hail
The generals looked at each other.
Yu Wenrong, who is in charge of logistics, asked uncertainly: "Master Zhang, are the hailstones ice falling from the sky?"
"Exactly." Zhang Zhong affirmed.
Zhao Hanzhang smiled: "Master Zhang, don't be kidding, hailstones are falling from the sky. You won't make 10,000 machine guns. They will be arranged in a large array of machine guns at different heights, right and left, and keep shooting against the sky, right
If so, it's better to let the hailstones fall. You will give me 10,000 machine guns. I will go to other countries to take back hundreds of times the money lost in the hailstone-affected areas. "
The other generals also laughed, thinking that Zhang Zhong was teasing them.
Zhang Zhong wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to say: "Xiaobao and the cuckoo used a cannon to hit the clouds in the sky, to make the thing called ice soon, and make it rain in advance. It’s better to rain than hail."
"Oh...! What Little Treasure and Cuckoo said? Almost, 80% can be beaten." Pei Guangting immediately became an agreeing party.
The other generals nodded.
"Haha, Zhang Zhong, you are inferior to your son and daughter-in-law. No one believes what you said, so you can't do it." Wang Zhu laughed and ran against Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong curled his lips disdainfully: "Do you also know that those are my son and daughter-in-law? I really don't have any other skills. I will give birth to my own children. There are Xiaobao, Xiaohai and Xiaobei, hum!"
Wang Chao's face fell again, but no one cared about him. The generals were out of Wang Chao's control. Jiang Cen was mixed with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Yuan Qianyao was Zhongshu Ling. The prime minister and Zhang Zhong were also more considerate of the king. Zhao, so sometimes give him some face.
Wang Zhu was sulking, and everyone didn't care about him.
Wang Zhongsi, who was still young, approached Zhang Zhong and asked, "Master Zhang, what are the cannonballs? Can the clouds become rain?"
"I don’t know, Xiaobao and Cuckoo know that it’s not gunpowder anyway, and the shells are not iron and copper. They said that if the technology can reach a certain level, it can make the sky rain and the sky will rain, even if there is no cloud. Let the sky be sunny, even if there are clouds.
The relevant personnel of the Ministry of Engineering are now thinking that they can get the rain first and knock out the hailstones. Other things will be discussed later. Once the technology reaches a certain level, the sky will not be irreversible. "
What Zhang Zhong said was very bold, and he couldn't do it temporarily, but he had to think about it.
Wang Zhongsi showed a look of yearning on his face, not thinking about the smooth weather of the Tang Dynasty, but what Yuan Qianyao and Jiang Cen should look forward to.
What Wang Zhongsi wondered was that if... during a war, there was a sudden pouring rain on the enemy's marching road, and it was estimated that the enemy would be consumed before they could get anywhere.
What Yuan Qianyao considers is, which place is short of water, wow...! The next day it rains, where there is too much rain, brush...! The weather is clear, and the grain output is stumbling upward. If you want to eat rice, you want to eat rice, you want to eat steamed buns, you can eat mandarin duck pot, shrimp, crab, lamb, beef, whatever you want.
"No, I shouldn't think like this. I'm too ambitious. Let the people eat, so I don't have to stare at what I eat. Zhang Zhong, it's Xiaobao and Juanjuan who asked the Ministry of Engineering to make it, right?"
Yuan Ganyao thought about the "happy" days in the future, and found that if the people behave like this, it seems that a prime minister can't dream of eating for himself.
"Yes, the requirements of Xiaobao and Juanjuan must be made within half a year, and then the data of the propelling force of the gunpowder hitting the sky and the limit calculation of the parabola are measured, and a requirement is put forward. The shells can be made larger in the early stage, and they must To be small.
The rate of fire is fast, and the barrel can withstand the impact of temperature and friction. Regardless of whether it is air-cooled or water-cooled, the gun that strikes the sky must withstand the loss of two minutes of continuous shooting.
To achieve the same effect as machine guns, they named them machine guns, which will be useful after more than a year. If they can’t be researched out, it might cost me a lot of outstanding men. "
Zhang Zhong knew that loyalty was fine for those who could be selected for the martial arts competition, so he gave Yuan Qianyao "details".
Wang Zhu listened, his eyes opened wider as he listened, and when Zhang Zhong finished speaking, he leaned in and whispered: "Zhang Zhong, do your son and daughter-in-law want to make anti-aircraft weapons? I know, many cannibals. There are many eagles, and they are worried about losing air supremacy.
With that cannon, we can cooperate with our Datang’s win and wipe out all the opponent’s win. If the hot air balloon can take off, put some relatively small cannons on it, and it can even directly attack the enemy intensively in the air. . "
At this moment, both high-level officials also knew that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were going to have a lot of food on Wang Chao, temporarily letting go of their different sentiments towards Zhang and Wang's family, and followed them together to analyze.
