Zhao Xi knew that this was a limitation of technology, and there was no way around it.

Unless there is great progress in chemical engineering, such defects will always exist.This is not a problem that can be solved by changing from bamboo gunpowder ammunition to thousand-layer paper-skinned gunpowder ammunition, let alone musket ammunition wrapped in oiled paper.

This is also the reason why Workshop City focuses most of its energy on civilian products.

As for the frontier army, even if the arsenal is made of cement, it cannot prevent the firearms from being damp and discarded.

It's time to take out those firearms that are about to become useless.

Therefore, Zhao Xi has no objection to the western army's plan to conquer Qingtang Zongsiluo, even if there are not many opponents in the Zhengshitang.

This matter has been approved by the imperial court, and the documents have already been delivered to the Western Army. Who would have thought that someone would break up this matter at the court meeting, and it would once again cause a court meeting with constant quarrels.

Whether it was Zhao Xi or the Zhengshitang, the decision to conquer Zong Siluo was based on the principle of keeping a low profile, and they were not prepared to make it known to everyone from the beginning.

Zhao Xi wanted to see how well the Western Army had mastered firearms warfare, and to see if the generals of the Western Army had changed from traditional tactics to firearms warfare.

It's not all because of lack of confidence, but simply considering that this is an experimental battle.

Of course, the reason why Zhengshitang agreed to fight against Qingtang and act in a low-key manner is indeed due to lack of confidence.

This is the first time that the old guard battalion is not the main force, and it is not an official direct line team's foreign battle.The husbands were still a little apprehensive.

Besides, I am very worried that this defeat will bring back the confidence that Guochao has built up with great difficulty in the past few years.

Therefore, the Zhengshitang has no intention of yelling at the court.

However, it is impossible to keep this matter absolutely confidential.From the mobilization of money and food by the Ministry of Households, to the supply of armaments in the workshop city, and then to the documents exchanged by the Privy Council about the front.It is not difficult for courtiers to know.

But arguing like this at the court meeting, even the Zhengshitang is quite annoying!

If the government wants to demote these officials who have nothing to do, the Zhengshitang will definitely push the boat along...

It was originally an idle matter, but after being quarreled by such a court meeting, it became no longer idle.

The court was dispersed, and the way of retreating once again expressed the dissatisfaction of the officials. Even the inner eunuch called for retreating in the middle of a dispute between the ministers and workers, and retreated without waiting for the ministers to finish speaking.

"Let's standardize the various processes of discussing and making decisions. The need for government affairs is not such endless quarrels, and the court meeting cannot be so chaotic forever."

"At the beginning, Qinzheng Palace was built with such a pattern to set up a three-level decision-making system."

"My lords are also familiar with the Hall of Qinzheng. The different settings of the main hall, the council hall, and the cabinet represent different functions. Please think about it first, and see if it can be promoted in conjunction with the reform of the official system."

It is not the most appropriate time to do this at this time, and many layouts have not yet been perfected.

But Zhao Xi was really annoyed by the chaos of every court meeting.Regardless of whether the layout is completed, maybe something can be done during the entire major adjustment.

Chapter 503 Too Much Money

The three-level decision-making system is one of Zhao Xi's ideas.He borrowed part of the systems and processes of the later Ming Dynasty, as well as some of his own era.As for whether it is suitable for this era, Zhao Xi is not sure.

Therefore, he still adopted the method of letting the ministers of the political affairs hall get their opinions first.

This is a huge system project. It is much easier for Zhao Xi to add some content or adjust some content on the basis of the prototype, which is much easier than starting from the beginning and finishing it by himself.

To be honest, even now, Zhao Xi is still confused about the official system of the country, not to mention the various salaries of the ministers and workers.

With the pretext of reforming the official system, he can also explain clearly to him the system of the state and court, which is organized by ministers and workers, in the form of memorials, so that he can know what he knows and target what he wants.In the end, I found a suitable point in my own vision and the current official system, so that the reform of the official system would not be too much resistance.

Originally, Zhao Xi wanted to reform the official system after establishing a top-down supervision system in the country.

Zhao Xi is not optimistic about the current mode of Yushi Taifeng's rumors.

It is said that there is no need to take responsibility for the matters played by rumors, but as long as one is impeached, no matter whether it is true or not, the court needs to deal with it.

Such a censor platform does have its advantages, and it can restrain the conduct of ministers and workers to a certain extent.

At the same time, such a model can easily lead to Yushitai becoming a tool, a tool for courtiers to attack each other.

The purpose of Zhao Xi's promotion of vertical management of government-run industries is to serve as a blueprint for the supervision system he designed and to provide a reference for establishing a top-down vertical management supervision system.

Originally, I thought that after the government-run industry had been in operation for a few years and had some experience in the vertical management model, I would introduce a supervisory system and finally carry out the reform of the government system.

But the chaotic court meeting again and again made Zhao Xi lose his patience.

Just like Wang Anshi proposed the Market Change Law at an inappropriate time, the final result was good, and it also promoted the implementation of market trade supervision and government-run industries.

Although in order to make the new Market Change Law, Zhao Xi had to order Workshop City to give up part of its benefits... It will be a matter of time. For a long time, those industries will not be let go.

That's okay, it can make the workshop city shift from manufacturing to research and development.

Of course, this time the sale made the workshop city feel pain.In addition, the imperial court exempted the workshop city from taxes for three years. At this time, the workshop city was richer than the imperial court.

Han Zhen was very worried, and the people in charge of the entire workshop city were very unreliable.

There is too much money. As a workshop city whether it is a first-level political power of the imperial court or an interest entity, even the person in charge of the workshop city has no clue.Therefore, they think that Workshop City should not and cannot have so much cash.

To the court?Han Zhen still didn't dare to do that.The whole country knows that the workshop city is owned by the government, and it is also where many courtiers benefit from it.

At this time, the whole court can distinguish the difference between the imperial court and the officials, as well as the ministers and workers.

"It's time to share dividends. This is determined by the nature of the workshop city. Many industries in the workshop city are originally in the form of partnerships. There is no need to change the original contract just because of the amount of money and food."

Turning landlords into old riches and making people shift their focus from the land is one of Zhao Xi's goals in promoting industrialization.

The courtiers who participated in the industry of the workshop city benefited a lot, and it was a better catalyst to promote the increase of industrialization investment by the courtiers.

The money, all numbers, are Royal Bank notes.Zhao Xi didn't believe that anyone would withdraw cash in large quantities.

The key point is that most of the prefectures and counties of Guochao have been involved in the sale and authorization of crafts in the workshop city this time, and those courtiers who belong to the prefectures and counties are naturally reluctant to lose such an opportunity.

Royal Bank had its first burst of credit.

Everything is just hanging on the current account of the Royal Bank.

"Your Majesty, the dividends will not reduce the income of the workshop city. Your Majesty, the ministers also know that a large part of these incomes are credits from the Royal Bank, and the dividends are only the repayment of credits by those owners. It is just to level the deposits of the Royal Bank. loan balance."

"But the crafts authorized by Workshop City this time are not simply crafts such as carriages, cement, and wool textiles in the early years. More income comes from products such as boilers and glass developed by Workshop City in the later stages."

This time, it was all the principals of the workshop city who came to ask the officials for advice, and they were really frightened by the amount on the book.

"How much is it?"

Zhao Xi was also surprised, how much money can you have?Still have nowhere to spend?

"More than 600 million guan..."

Uh... how is it possible?Zhao Xi was also shocked by what Han Zhen said.
