I became the son of Renzong

The patrolling and extinguishing was timely, and the scope of flood damage was limited to the study room...

No one paid attention to the funeral, and even the scope of discussion was very limited.

After this incident, those who pay close attention to the details of the court will find that the cabinet ministers and some deliberators have terminated the contracts of some family servants, even if they pay a certain amount of compensation.

"This is not a good job!"

Zhao Xi didn't know about the dismissal of the servants by the cabinet ministers and the councilors, Wang Zhongzheng honestly reported it.He did not expect such an impact.

"Small confession!"

"Let's withdraw all the detectives from the courtiers' homes. Now that the northwest is not peaceful, let's send everyone to work in the northwest. There should be no less compensation, and it will be drawn from the inner government."

It was originally a very secret matter, but this time, the entire system was exposed.Alas... Zhao Xi had to make an attitude.

Therefore, Wang Zhongzheng, the governor of the imperial city, fined his salary for one year and downgraded it by two levels.

Zhao Xi and the ministers and workers tacitly maintained that face, and did not argue on the table.

There is no basis for this kind of thing, even if you know it well, you can't make sense on the stage.Wang Zhongzheng's punishment can be said to be due to the handling of the attack on the prince.

And when I got the family letter from Cai Jing and Cai Bian, it was really clear that the reason why Cai Bian made a suggestion in the Ministry of Rites was because of his elder brother Cai Jing's reminder... he believed that such an initiative was a good way to make friends with the prince.

The family letter did not mention the content of the prince's tenure.

Even though Zhao Xi already had a direction, the reasons were still insufficient.The point is that neither Cai Jing nor Cai Bian had the motive to attack the prince, but what they expressed in their letters was loyalty.

It's a bit tricky, even Zhao Xi feels it's a bit tricky.

"Officials, Gongfang Chengsu discusses politics and asks to see..."

The so-called Su Yizheng of Workshop City refers to Su Song, who in Zhao Xi's eyes is a person who has truly contributed to the entire era, and who has transformed Zhao Xi's messy and fragmented knowledge into the knowledge of this era.

"Zi Rong... Zhongzheng, give me a seat quickly..."

Zhao Xi put aside the dirty things in his mind.Chatting with Su Song always makes Zhao Xi feel refreshed. This is a person who is very close to science, and his profound knowledge is even admired by Zhao Xi who has more than a thousand years of experience.

"Officials, the minister reports on the exploration situation in Xingqing, Yinxia, ​​and even the entire Dangxiang-controlled area. Officials, the exploration situation is not optimistic. In the Dangxiang-controlled area, no other minerals have been surveyed for the time being except for coal... "..."

"Shen Cunzhong and Chen have almost traveled through most of the areas controlled by the party members. From the areas that have been explored, except for coal, only the cement industry can be developed in the areas controlled by the party. The minister believes that in terms of the current demand for coal by the state government , the development of coal in the area originally controlled by Dangxiang can be postponed."

"The northwestern region is still dominated by the green salt industry. I believe that we will continue to maintain the pattern of the green salt industry, selectively develop carbon dioxide, and carry out necessary controls. The cement industry can be liberalized as appropriate..."

Su Song understood that the reason why the war between the country and the court was unanimously passed by the court and received such strong support from the court and the public was because the officials had set an example before, and the pursuit of interests by the court and the public was the most fundamental.

"I'm sure. The survey data will be kept as top secret, and Zirong will take the lead to announce the survey results in the court..."

In this era, Su Song already has the so-called sustainable development concept, and Zhao Xi has no reason not to support it.

"The officials and ministers think that the water and soil moisturizing mentioned by the officials should be given priority in the area controlled by the party. In addition, Cunzhong and the ministers also conducted exploration on the places where water conservancy facilities can be built to alleviate the flood... ···”

With that said, Su Song presented the memorial... This cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

"Officials, in fact, the most important thing about my minister's meeting today is that after returning to the court, I also paid attention to the attack on the crown prince..."

Su Song paused, and saw that the official's face didn't change much, so he continued: "Officer, forgive me for not being guilty! I checked the scene where the prince was attacked by myself, and the remains of firearms collected by the soldiers, including gunpowder and bullets Wait."

"While examining these on-site items, I found that the scene where the prince was attacked was not just the remains of the standard firearms of the prince's guard..."

"What? Firearm leak?"

Zhao Xi couldn't help being nervous, the prince was safe and sound in the attack, but if the firearm technology leaked, it would not be as simple as the prince being attacked, it would be a disaster for the country.

"Yes and no. According to my inspection and judgment, the residues left at the scene of the prince's attack are not only the fifth-generation gunpowder residues equipped by the army of the current dynasty. Among the residues left at the scene, I found that there are first-generation, Second-generation firearm residue."

"The officials also know that the muskets of the new army of the country are based on the suggestions of the officials. The warheads are tapered, and the purification of gunpowder has also been greatly improved. However, I found bead-shaped warheads in the leftover residue, and the last Remnants of early gunpowder ratios..."

Su Song's interview this time, and the exploration of the area controlled by Dangxiang, were all incidental, and what Su Song said at the end was what Su Song thought must be reported to the officials as soon as possible.

Chapter 753 Zhao Xi's Misunderstandings

Su Song's report made Zhao Xi suddenly a little confused, and his unorganized thoughts became more and more confused.

The prince's guards, that is, the guards of the Imperial City Division, both light and dark, also suffered casualties.From the beginning, Zhao Xi didn't consider the cause of these people's death, and it was at the stage of the imperial court's grand ceremony at that time, so it was too late to think about it thoroughly.

Wang Zhongzheng took care of all the funerals of the casualties, and the honors they deserved were not diminished, and the compensations they should be given were not less.After what Su Song said, Zhao Xi realized that he was indeed there at that time, because of how much emotion affects judgment.

"Zhongzheng, can someone identify the cause of death of the casualties and subordinates?"

This Wang Zhongzheng knelt down again.But Zhao Xi couldn't blame this unlucky guy at this time.

"Going back to Huiguan's house, the inspector of the Imperial City Division found that the casualties were all injured by arrows, and the fatal injuries were concentrated on the head and neck because of the armor..."

"Where's the armor?"

"Go back to the official's house, collect everything and hand it over to the workshop city."

Wang Zhongzheng saw that the officials were in a good mood, so he spoke quickly.

"Officials, it was the Secretary of the Imperial City who sent those armors to the workshop city according to the regulations. I can identify these details..."

This regulation was formulated at the beginning of armor and firearms.In order to avoid the leakage of armor and firearms craftsmanship, Zhao Xi worked with Su Song and others to formulate relevant regulations on the recycling of firearms and armor.

In the words of later generations, the amount of information is a bit large, and Zhao Xi needs to sort it out.

According to the regulations, as long as the workshop city produces new firearms in batches, the army is refitted with new technology, and the old armaments are recovered and stored in warehouses and destroyed.In other words, the first generation of gunpowder and muskets should not have survived at all.

Unless there are major mistakes in the management of Workshop City.But Su Song can report in this way, that is to say, Workshop City has already done relevant work.

Even though Su Song is not the lord of the workshop city, the power Zhao Xi gave Su Song is even higher than that of the lord.

This means that there is no possibility of mismanagement of firearms in Workshop City, and there is no possibility of leakage of old-style firearms in stock.

Has the power to manufacture firearms?This is worse than leaking a firearm!

"Zirong, the craftsman of the firearms workshop..."

"Back to the official's house, the firearms workshop is manufactured step by step according to the official's requirements. Basically, each step is independent, and the craftsmen of the finished product workshop are carefully selected."

"So far, no craftsman in the workshop city has left the workshop city alive. Moreover, the regulations of the firearms workshop in the workshop city, even if they go out of the city, at least three people should go with them. The Fangcheng guards are strictly guarding against the craftsmen in the firearms workshop, and there should be no possibility of craft leakage."

In fact, all the systems of the workshop city's firearms workshop were formulated with the participation of officials.Under such a system, there should be no possibility of artisans leaking their craftsmanship.

Moreover, the treatment of the craftsmen in the firearms workshop is comparable to that of the fourth-rank courtiers of the Kingdom Dynasty. Even their family members are provided by the workshop city to make a living. It can be said that they are completely supported by the workshop city.

Su Song thought that no one could give these craftsmen higher treatment, so that they could tempt these craftsmen to betray the court, betray the workshop city, and even betray his family.

The most important point is that even in the workshop city, apart from the familiarity between the craftsmen in the firearms workshop, the craftsmen in important positions are kept secret even from the court, and there are only a few specific people who have the list of these craftsmen.
