I became the son of Renzong

He was indeed holding back a big move. He knew very well that with his current qualifications, it was impossible to dominate the court, and he could only accumulate strength.

But, is it really okay to stand on the opposite side of the great power of the country?

It must be used, it depends on how to use it.

This name has always been deeply imprinted in my mind. Although Zhao Xi has seen Wang Anshi's other thoughts due to his different positions in this Wanyan book, it is undeniable that Wang Anshi's integrity and character, including his one Worry about the country and the people.

Zhao Xi did not express his position on Wang Anshi's Wanyan letter, so he was unable to express his position.

He can't say that the Wanyan book is good, in fact it is, at least he understands Guochao clearly.

He also didn't want to repeat his father's words and praise Wang Jiefu's literary talents.

Not to mention that this ten thousand character book is not very good, after all, it was approved by the old man and left for him to use as a famous official and good minister.

So, just like that, this memorial was shelved.

This should be what Wang Anshi expected, right?

Well, that's exactly what happened.In the next period of time, the entire scholarly community was discussing Wang Jiefu's Wan Yan Shu, especially among the lower-level officials.

It is also impossible to say that the imperial court of the country is gone. This memorial has been in the hands of the emperor, and several hands have been lost.But at any rate, it is the memorial of the court officials, and they have no sense of secrecy. Now Shilin, there is someone who can recite the whole text...

Chapter 209 Chapter [-] Confusion (Second Change)

By the time the guards sent out from the camp came back one after another, it would have been a long time since another first day had passed.

The job recruitment is over, and according to the time calculation, most of the people who are going to work in the copper mine should have dragged their families to Xuzhou by this time.

Zhao Xi handed over the entire pre-job training for the miners to Mr. Lu... Anyway, his elder brother is now in charge of the Chengdu Fulu military, so he can talk about many things.

As for the detailed rules of the training, and how the miners are militarized, including the rotation of mining and mine protection, etc., Zhao Xi had written them before the guard battalion set off.The purpose is that when they select miners, they can have a reference, or that is the standard.

Zhao Xi didn't mind that the miners were all locals in the end, and had such exchanges and reminders. He had told the Cao family, the Gao family, and the Duan family who were in charge there.

The purpose of recruiting miners is to let those half-dead soldiers see another way to live.After three to five years, when those soldiers who left their hometowns return, those who stayed at their original places could only watch from afar without daring to say hello. That was Zhao Xi's real goal.

People have to live with thoughts and expectations.

"Your Highness, there are varying degrees of vacancies in the army of the country..."

Empty pay?It can be imagined that if it is not too much, Zhao Xi can also accept it.

"Most of the soldiers in the Western Army are [-]% or even [-]%. The Hebei Road is less than [-]%, and the Jiangnan roads, except for the Guangnan West Road, have no more than [-]% of them, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled..."

Su Song is in charge of statistics, and the results of the statistics scare him.

This time His Royal Highness ordered the guard battalion to recruit workers from all over the world, the real purpose is to make a fortune.This is the family property!

There were 80 forbidden troops in the imperial court and 30 Xiang troops, which cost countless money and food, but they were pocketed by military leaders at all levels.

One by one, you pump some water, and I'll peel off the skin!This is already the case, but the soldiers can get the money and food in full, and only the Western Army!

These years in the guard camp, Su Song has changed his views on generals, at least he does not have the prejudice of the court officials.But today, when he saw these numbers... I really don't complain, he deserves to be bullied by civil servants!

Zhao Xi was prepared, but he thought that there should be [-]% or [-]% chance.After all, it's about national defense. I didn't expect...

"The local state officials know?"

"We thought that Shangguan didn't know about it. It's one of the reasons why he doesn't pay much attention to it, and one of the reasons is that there are many affairs. The key point is that even if Shangguan patrols the camps, it is impossible to count them camp by camp."

"Every time the superiors patrol the camp, they join the army with the box, and the camp with the army, and so on, and they can always be coaxed like this."

They have all left the original barracks, and those soldiers who are about to become miners dare to say a few more words, and let the guard battalion achieve the task that His Highness the Prince gave this time.

But, it's really shocking!

"Your Highness, do you want to invite the court with a statement?"

From Han Zhen's point of view, this kind of thing has reached the point where measures have to be taken. If this continues, the entire country will not be able to sleep peacefully.

"Aren't you really clear about it? Teacher Han, everyone knows some things. How did the so-called 20 years of not talking about military affairs come about? Is it really because you are afraid of those Western thieves?"

"It can't be said that they are not afraid. What really causes the court to be afraid is the current state of the country's military equipment! The Western Army can't compete with the Western Thieves, let alone other soldiers?"

Disaster!It is so difficult!Not to mention Guochao's other disadvantages, even Zhao Xi felt overwhelmed by the armament alone.

He somewhat understood his father's improvisational approach, and also understood the helplessness of the husbands.

All his preparations were based on [-]% of the soldiers, and he did not expect such a situation.

Forget it, there are more ways, less ways, and one day, those military leaders will automatically fill up the vacancies.

……

It's April and May, and it's the dry season for inland rivers.Zhao Xi plans to take a trip to Xiangzhou in the next few days to investigate the water transportation along this route, so as to develop rail transportation in a targeted manner.

Li Jie has returned and successfully completed the construction of the copper and iron mining city.

Thinner, darker, and calmer, not as silly as Brother Gongzi.

"Ming Zhong, with the merits of Dongchuan, it is reasonable for you to be promoted to another three ranks. But I did not plead with the court."

"The copper and iron mining city is nominally a business for merchants, and secondly, it is not within the territory of the country. This is one."

"Secondly, Ru was not born in a scientific examination. If he is promoted too quickly in a short period of time, he may be paid attention to by scholars. As a result, there will be endless criticism and impeachment, and he will also bear the name of Xingjin."

"Xi thought, don't worry about these things. If you do too much, someone will always see you. Slowly consolidate the foundation and wait for the opportunity... such as Wang Jiefu."

Zhao Xi had a heart-to-heart talk with Li Jie, and had to think of Wang Anshi again.

That was indeed a thoughtful figure.

"His Royal Highness is promoting, Li Jiewei will do his duty and dare not think about it."

Perhaps because of what he heard over there, Li Jie was obviously not as free and easy as he was at the beginning.

Then, they discussed together when to start, and compared the map to determine the southbound route.

Zhao Xi never seemed to have thought of going out with the crown prince's guard of honor. Except for the ancestor worship, Zhao Xi almost never used the guard of honor.

It's the same this time, I just want to say hello to my family and tell my husbands, so I can walk away easily.

After the agreement here, it was already very late.

I am also used to it, that is, the court defaulted to His Highness the Crown Prince's free travel with the East Palace and the guard camp.

When I returned to the East Palace, I saw several women in my family fiddling with their clothes.
