Chapter 1132 The court is actually willing to spend so much money (second update)
Chapter 1141

Wang Yang grinned involuntarily. "Those four unlucky bastards rushed up to find the smoke. They asked for it. If Zhang Dun doesn't offend his nephew, that's all. If he wants to uphold justice for those four people, hehe..."

"The spring breeze is blowing, the drums of war are beating, who in this world is afraid of whom?" Wang Yang sniffed heavily, then picked up his wine glass and drained it in one breath, and said impassionedly.

Seeing that Wang Yang still had that high-spirited look, Su Dongpo opened his mouth for a long time, but finally he could only roll his eyes helplessly. "Let's go, let's leave it to you kid, anyway, the old man has already reminded you."

"Thank you uncle for the tip. My nephew will naturally save it. My nephew has always been upright and will not take the initiative to offend others. But if someone offends me and doesn't fight back, wouldn't it look like my nephew is too easy to bully?" .”

Wang Yang chuckled, since that guy named Zhang Dun didn't fight against him, but urged Kaifeng Mansion to investigate those polluters, and then spread the rumors in the court, these methods, still Is it not the same as targeting yourself everywhere?

"Now that this incident has happened, I'm afraid that you have to wait for a while for your appointment, and wait until the limelight is over. Your Majesty is worried that you have ideas, so I specially asked the old man to come over and talk to you. have a bee in one's bonnet."

"Naturally, Wang can save this point. Please tell my uncle to tell His Majesty. I thank Your Majesty for your painstaking efforts." Wang Yang nodded. "Anyway, my nephew has just returned to the capital, and I just took advantage of the opportunity of not being hired to make good preparations."

"What do you want to prepare?" Su Dongpo couldn't help asking curiously.

"Of course it's something that benefits the country and the people. Uncle, why are you staring at me? It's really something that benefits the country and the people. I'm thinking about going to those military supervisory workshops outside the city with His Royal Highness Duan Wang tomorrow to have a look. Are there any improvements in the various armaments of our Great Song Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Su Dongpo nodded in agreement. "In this respect, it's really your strong point. Speaking of which, my Song Dynasty was able to seize the land of six states on the North Shaanxi Road. The weapons and equipment you developed are really indispensable..."

"Now His Majesty has ordered that no new iron armor will be cast in all states. They will only be responsible for maintenance and repair. The military supervisor will be responsible for supervising the manufacture of Yuanyou Armor to replace the old armor in the past."

"For more than a year, many border towns have been updating their equipment one after another, as well as the Yuanyou crossbow..."

Speaking of these, Su Dongpo couldn't help but feel refreshed, yes, since Wang Yang tinkered with these inventions, the industry has greatly changed the inside and outside of the Song Dynasty, of course not just the weapons and equipment.

There are also many things that are beneficial to people's livelihood, which have penetrated into thousands of households, such as those ceramic tiles, toilets, and excellent building materials such as cement.

Now, the cement straight road leading from Kaifeng Bianliang to Chang'an has already been opened to traffic, the cement straight road leading to Taiyuan Mansion is nearing completion, and the cement straight road leading to Zhending Mansion has been stepping up construction.

After this wide and straight concrete road is completed, in the future, the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty will be able to reach the city of Zhendingfu within ten days of receiving the military information.

As for the cavalry, there is no pressure at all for 250 miles a day. The 800-mile-long concrete straight road can easily be reached by the cavalry within five days.Compared with the past, it took at least 20 days from dispatching troops from Kaifeng to arriving at Zhending Mansion, which is already much more convenient.

With the convenience and speed brought by the cement straight road, the court is paying more and more attention to the construction of the cement straight road. Whether it is those old party members or members of the old party, they all recognize that cement is a building material for everyone. Song's role in promoting urban road traffic construction.

In addition, the emergence of Yuanyou printing technology has made scholars all over the world praise it endlessly. With the appearance of this Yuanyou printing technology, books have become more and more high-quality and cheap.

Benefiting countless scholars, Wang Yang received countless praise and respect in the hearts of those scholars, especially poor scholars.

Talking about what he saw and heard since the parting, Wang Yang couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. It seems that his arrival has already brought many changes to the Song Dynasty.

But all of this is just the beginning. I have not been in this era long enough, and the influence is not deep enough. I believe in the future, um... it will definitely be better.

#####
Early the next morning, Wang Yang and Zhao Ji rode their horses away from Tokyo Bianliang and headed south. After nearly an hour of walking, they arrived at the workshop where the Ordnance Supervision Office was built.

Looking at this fortress-like workshop, Wang Yang couldn't help but take a deep breath. "The court is actually willing to spend such a large amount of money?"

"That's natural. Speaking of it, it's also thanks to you, sir, because you transferred the Xiang army to the people on Shaanxi North Road, which relieved the burden on the court. In addition, we have enough cement in the Song Dynasty. For building materials, it is possible to build such a fortress-like workshop in less than half a year."

"Except for the construction of the Firearms Bureau, the key departments of the other military supervision workshops are concentrated here, and the Lifang system is adopted here, and each workshop is separated from each other. And His Majesty appointed Five thousand elite imperial troops are stationed here, patrolling day and night."

"The walls of the entire city are three feet high. There is a water gate on the west side, which leads the river water into the workshops that require water flow and hydraulic power, and then flows out through the water gate on the east side. Apart from these two water gates, only the north side There is a gate that allows people to enter and exit..."

Surrounded by a group of guards, the two rode slowly and came to the gate of the city. Naturally, they knew Zhao Ji, the city guard general of His Royal Highness Duan Wang, hurried over to greet him, and then opened the thick and heavy city gate .

After entering the city, one can see Lifang surrounded by tall walls in the distance, which really looks like a reduced-scale city.

After entering one of the workshops, I saw those precision screws and nuts being produced here.Although these things are small, they may seem inconspicuous, but it is because of these things that the military equipment of the Great Song Dynasty can become more refined and sophisticated.

In particular, the screws and nuts produced by this assembly line are now only used on Yuanyou crossbows and Yuanyou stone throwing machines.

If these small parts are missing, the performance of both the Yuanyou crossbow and the Yuanyou trebuchet will be greatly affected.

This is of course to prevent large-scale workshops after the enemy of the Song Dynasty got the samples. After all, after the earlier version of the Yuanyou crossbow has been improved in this way, although the range has not achieved any breakthrough improvement .

However, those parts that can only be obtained through precision machining can greatly hinder the imitation of enemy countries that want to imitate Song-style weapons.
