Chapter 142 Inherited hypochondria
"The gift for Ying Xing was prepared a long time ago..." Gao Qiu said, opened the drawer, took out a stack of money, and said, "This is 1 taels of gold..."

"My lord, if this is the New Year's money for the boy, it will crush the boy to death!" Zhao Si laughed.

"You take this money, and according to your wishes, you can give the old man a piece of money in your Yingxing company..." Gao Qiu said with a smile, "Although I don't know what you want, but you can always surprise people." ..."

"Hahahaha, this is the gift I prepared for my lord..." Zhao Si took out a thin piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Gao Qiu, "My lord, this is just a little thought from my lord, as for the 1 yuan from my lord Two, for the boy, it’s really the so-called timely delivery of charcoal, the big stall that the boy is running now, the most lacking is money... The 1 taels will definitely be broken into shares and sent separately..."

"Thank you Ying Xing for that..."

In fact, what Zhao Si sent to Tong Guan's house was not some magical method, but actually the shares of Yingxing Company... Of course, Tong Guan's acting style was different from Gao Qiu's. He regarded Zhao Si completely as one of his own Yes, and the start-up capital of Yingxing Company was entirely taken from Tong Guan...

Zhao Si knows that you are not strong enough to do things in this era, so you have to recruit a few people who are strong enough, real power figures to serve as your background, so that you can avoid layers of exploitation and suppression, improve efficiency, and deter Xiaoxiao The coveting of the elders...

So Zhao Si dragged these two real power factions from Bianjing into the water. Of course, after a series of practice, it has been proved that Zhao Si is not simple, and he can make money with him. This is a simple and practical truth!

After thinking about it, Zhao Sisi finally decided to hand over the secret recipe of gunpowder to the court, of course to the court, not to any minister, but to the emperor Zhao Ji himself!
Because this kind of secret recipe involves the safety of the world, it cannot be covered by one person!This world belongs to the emperor's family, and the meaning of handing over this hot potato to the emperor is obvious, that is, if you can keep this thing well and only use it for you, it will be the best guarantee for your eternal life; if you have the ability Insufficient, not well preserved, the secret recipe is leaked, known to the world, and what is more serious, known to the Hulu in the north, then wait for the world to be in chaos, and finally lose the country, everything will be wiped out...

After the seven-day bathing holiday on New Year's Day, Zhao Si raised this question at the court meeting. The emperor was also very happy to hear that Zhao Si was able to hand over the secret recipe of gunpowder...

After going to court, Zhao Si was of course summoned alone.

"Gunpowder is a powerful thing, and it involves the safety of the world. I am so relieved that Aiqing can figure this out and give me the secret recipe of this thing! But this thing is not the only thing in the world now! The matter of Liangshan , has always been a piece of my heart..." Zhao Ji's tone was a little happy, but also sad.

"Your Majesty, after all, the Liangshan bandits occupied such a mountain and a lake. Now that they have expressed their surrender to the court, I thought that they would not cause much trouble for a while! Their weapons are more advanced, and their conquest and suppression are more advanced. Difficult, at the moment, the equipment of our Imperial Army is uneven, in order to prevent the northern Hulu from invading south, we must change the firearms and equipment of our frontier army before we can consider conquering Liangshan again..."

"What Aiqing said is very true! Liangshan can't be defeated for a while. If the world's thieves respond and the Hulu take the opportunity to invade south, it will be very bad..." Zhao Ji said.

"Your Majesty, there are only two important things to do now against the bandits in Liangshan! One is to loosen the outside and tighten the inside. You can open the lake ban and resume trade, but you need to use some eyes and ears to monitor their development at any time. It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of the movements of the surrounding Hulu and prevent them from buying gunpowder weapons and gunpowder samples. After all, this stuff is not that complicated. Matching ratio, then they can easily make powerful gunpowder!"

"Aiqing, from what you said, it seems that the Liangshan bandits will not sell the formula?"

"Your Majesty, this is impossible. It is impossible to sell the gunpowder formula even if they are killed! Because if this thing is in their hands, it is their advantage. If it spreads out, their advantage will disappear!"

"Well, it makes sense to hear what you said. What is the second aspect you want to talk about?"

"Your Majesty Qizuo, the second aspect is to continue to intensify the suppression of bandits, of course the bandits on other hills..."

"Aiqing, I don't think your method is feasible! Even if we don't drive them away, they are all ready to move and want to go to Liangshan to take refuge. If we chase them and fight, we will definitely drive them together and gather together Liang Shan, when they are twisted together, it will be a terrifying force!"

"Your Majesty, of course we can't drive them to Liangshan! The first thing is to mobilize the elite, equip them with new gunpowder weapons, spread pocket arrays around the eight hundred li water pond, and then send troops to drive them away, so that we can wait for work at leisure, and eat them if we come. One at a time, one at a time..."

"What a plan! As long as these thieves are gradually eliminated, there will be no need to worry about Liangshan's power growing..."

"Your Majesty, therefore, I want to hand over the formula of powerful gunpowder to the imperial court. Under His Majesty's wise command, we will mass-produce gunpowder. After all my millions of forbidden troops are re-dressed, let alone Liangshan bandits, we will restore Yanyun." Sixteen prefectures, and then swallowing gold and destroying Liao and sweeping the world, there is no problem..."

Zhao Ji was greeted by this big cake drawn by Zhao Si, who immediately stunned Zhao Ji!We must know that this emperor is a literary emperor, usually too lazy to take care of government affairs, and likes to do some elegant things, but fundamentally Zhao Ji is a very successful emperor!Otherwise, there would be no such absurd things as joining Jin and destroying Liao...

Zhao Ji thought about it for a while in a daze, then calmed down, and said: "Gunpowder weapons, I think it's better not to equip the frontier army! The current frontier army is not the former frontier army. The army, although its combat effectiveness is not bad, but most of them have become the home army of some people..."

When the emperor said that, Zhao Si understood something!
Of course, he was suspicious of the generals of the frontier army. Speaking of the family army, such as the Yan'an Mansion of Zhongshi Daojinglue, the Zhongjia army was also somewhat prestigious at this time... This is a family inheritance. The entire Song Dynasty, because of The emperor's paranoia, suppressing generals every day, changing generals like a revolving door, one famous general appeared and killed one, even a famous general like Di Qing died of fright in the end, which means that he was scared to death by the emperor's suspicion...

No wonder Da Song is not weak...
