The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

Half a month later, the government examination started on time.

The process of the government examination is the same as the county examination, and there are four exams.After passing the regular exam, you can directly participate in the next college exam.If you have not passed the regular test, you can continue to take the second test.

Compared with the county test, the government test must be more difficult, but for Wang Pangpang, it is still too easy.

In less than two hours, Wang Pangpang finished the government examination, handed in the papers ahead of schedule and left.

The results of the government test were announced the next day.

Wang Pangpang is still an old god and did not go to the entrance of the official school to check the results.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang did not urge Wang Pangpang to look at the results as before.

Before taking the county test, Mrs. Wang was worried that her son would not pass the test. As a result, her son not only passed the test, but also passed the test.This time the government examination, listening to her son said it was easy, Mrs. Wang felt that her son would definitely pass the exam.

On the afternoon of the day when the results of the government examination were announced, another yamen servant came to the Wang family to announce the good news.

Wang Pangpang took the test again, he was not surprised at all, he was still very calm.

Mrs. Wang was very happy to see that her son had passed the test again, but she didn't make such a fuss as she did in Kaozhong County.

In the Imperial Academy, many people congratulated Wang Anshi and said that Wang Pangpang might pass the exam.

It would be a big deal if Wang Pangpang took the exam for junior and junior colleges. After all, since the new imperial examination was introduced, no one has been tested for junior and junior colleges.

Maybe Wang Pangpang will become the first person in the history of the Song Dynasty to pass the junior three yuan exam, and his name will definitely be left in history.

Wang Anshi still didn't care about this.Even if Wang Pangpang really passed the exam, it would be a matter of course in his opinion, and it is not a big happy event.

With his son's talent, it is not difficult to pass the junior high school entrance examination.Furthermore, the children's test is so simple, it is not a big deal to pass the small three yuan test.Passing the exam is a great thing.However, he felt that the chances of his son passing the exam were very small, so it was better not to get hopeful.

When Wang Anshi returned home, he told the person concerned that some ministers were optimistic about Wang Pangpang's passing the junior Sanyuan exam.

"Do you want to pass the first case in the hospital exam and come back with a small three yuan?"

Wang Pangpang didn't care about this: "What's the use of passing the exam." If he really passed the exam, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"If you pass the exam, you will be No.1. Do you want to try?" Wang Anshi said this on purpose.

"What's the honor of being No. 1 in the junior middle school exam?" Wang Pangpang was very disapproving, "The children's exam is so simple."

Seeing his son's disdain, Wang Anshi was relieved.

"I don't like Xiao Sanyuan, why, do you want to pass the exam?"

"Of course I think so, but I don't think it's very likely." Fatty Wang is very confident in himself, but there is a saying that there are many people who are smarter than him, especially Jiangnan students. "I have only one goal, and that is to pass the exam, and it's enough to surpass your father."

It doesn't matter to Wang Pangpang whether he wins the first prize or not, or the second place.He just needs to pass the exam, and then he will surpass his father.Furthermore, he is too young, and the possibility of winning the first or second place in the exam is very small, let alone the best.

Although Wang Pangpang is sometimes narcissistic and even conceited, he is not arrogant.

If others don't talk about it, just talk about Your Highness.If His Highness takes the imperial examination, he dares to bet that His Highness will definitely do better than him in the exam.

Wang Anshi was very happy when he heard his son say that, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Tan Hua in the exam, just you?" Wang Anshi hit his son deliberately, "You can't be Tan Hua Lang with your dark appearance. You can't beat me."

Since ancient times, Tanhualang has always been a good-looking person.Ugly is not qualified to be a Tanhualang.

When Wang Anshi said this, he was actually saying that Fatty Wang was ugly.

"I'm dark, but I'm not ugly." Wang Pangpang retorted unconvinced, "If I'm ugly, then you are ugly too, after all, I look like you."

Yes, this brat looks like him.

Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm not as dark as you."

"I'm whiter than you." Wang Pangpang said with an angry face, "Also, I'm cleaner than you."

In the past three years, Wang Pangpang has turned white a lot.Of course, compared with others, he is still a bit dark.

Although he looks a little dark, he looks very energetic.In the eyes of others, he is still a handsome boy.

Seeing the father and son quarreling again, Mrs. Wang shook her head helplessly.

The Wang family didn't feel anything wrong with winning the first case again.

In the East Palace, Zhao Yang wasn't surprised that Wang Pangpang was admitted to the Zhongfu trial case again.

To put it shamelessly, if he ends up taking the county test and the government test, he can also pass the two case tests.

"Your Highness, Pang Pang is very likely to pass the exam."

Zhao Yang nodded lightly: "Nine out of ten, but I don't think he cares about it." After talking about it, he talked about the iron mine.

Since three years ago, Zhao Yang sent people to look for iron ore and oil.

Iron ore is very common in later generations, but it was relatively rare in ancient times.

At present, there are very few iron ore discovered in Song Dynasty.

Compared with gold mines, silver mines, and copper mines, iron mines are rare.

After searching for three years, the people of Huangcheng Division finally found a relatively rich iron mine, but it was difficult to dig.Although it is difficult, it does not mean that there is no way at all.Oil has also been found, but it cannot be extracted and used temporarily because there is no technology.

Petroleum is a treasure, but this treasure cannot be used for the time being, so it can only be put on hold for the time being.

Zhao Yang thought about getting out the steam engine and starting the industrial revolution, but the current situation in the Song Dynasty is not suitable for the industrial revolution.

There were many internal and external troubles in the Song Dynasty. If these problems were not resolved, it would be impossible to carry out the industrial revolution.

If the industrial revolution is started now, it will only accelerate the demise of the Song Dynasty.

The problem of internal worries has been resolved in recent years.

The problem of foreign aggression has not yet begun to be resolved.However, it will be resolved by September this year.

Whether it is internal or external, it is impossible to solve it all at once.

Zhao Yang felt that he was still young, and after more than ten years, even 20 years, the industrial revolution would be too late.

Oil is not useless at all, at least it can be used on the battlefield to burn down enemy troops.However, having said that, burning the enemy with oil is a bit of a luxury.Even if it is extravagant, Zhao Yang will still use it on the battlefield.

In addition to finding iron ore and oil, many coal mines were also found.

Last year, Zhao Yang got out the coal stove and honeycomb coal, which benefited the common people again.However, briquettes are somewhat expensive, and not every household can afford them.

Most common people are using coal stoves and briquettes in their homes.It is really convenient to use it for cooking and boiling water.

There is a coal stove in Zhao Yang's study, which is specially used to boil water and make tea.

Speaking of iron ore, Zhao Yang has always wanted to smelt steel, but his technology is limited, and the craftsmen of Huangcheng Division have tried countless times and failed to smelt steel.There is no rush to make steel, Zhao Yang asked the craftsmen of Huangcheng Division to take their time.

After finding some iron ore, Zhao Yang asked the craftsmen of Huangcheng Division to forge many powerful weapons.These weapons will be used to recover the Sixteen States of Yanyun.

"Your Highness, we have been selling discarded weapons to Xixia and Liao, okay?"

When the craftsmen of the Imperial City Department create new sharp weapons, there will definitely be unqualified ones.Most of these unqualified weapons will be refurbished, but some will be sold to Xixia and Liao.

"It is an obsolete weapon for us, but not for Xixia and Liao."

"It won't pose a threat to us." Both Xixia and Liao thought that these abandoned weapons were secret weapons, weapons they had never seen before, so they were willing to spend a lot of money to buy them. "We are fully aware of the shortcomings of these abandoned weapons. They will not affect us if they are encountered on the battlefield."

"I don't always feel safe."

"It's very safe." Zhao Yang raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smirk, "Xixia and Liao are willing to spend a lot of money to buy our discarded weapons, so why not do it?" In the past three years, nothing else has been said, except selling discarded weapons It was sold to Xixia and Liao for a lot of money.

In doing this, Zhao Yang treated Xixia and Liao as leeks, and cut them wave after wave.Moreover, Xixia and Liao are still willing to be cut leeks.

Today, these discarded weapons are popular in Xixia and Liao.

The soldiers of Xixia and Liao are also using these discarded weapons, and it will not take long to replace their previous weapons.What does this mean?

This means that the lives of the soldiers of Xixia and Liao are in the hands of Da Song.

When the war begins, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty will know the shortcomings of these abandoned weapons, and it will be much easier to deal with the soldiers of Xixia and Liao.

Zhao Yang sold the discarded weapons to Xixia and Liao, mainly with this idea.

The Xixia and Liao people would not know the shortcomings of these abandoned weapons.They will only treat these abandoned weapons as treasures.

Of course, the Xixia and Liao people would never know that these abandoned weapons came from the Song Dynasty.

"The barracks of Xixia have already begun to use these abandoned weapons." Zhao Yang smiled meaningfully, "This is very beneficial to us, why do you feel unsafe?"

"I'm afraid I will be discovered by Xixia and Liao."

"They won't find out." There are other things added to these discarded weapons, even the most powerful blacksmiths in Xixia and Liao Kingdom can't find it. "Now it is waiting for the military camp of the Liao Kingdom to use it."

Seeing that Zhao Yang said so firmly, Cao Xu didn't say anything more.

"Your Highness, the officials in the Liao Kingdom are becoming more and more greedy."

"It's getting better and better." Zhao Yang propped his hands on the table, crossed his palms and held his chin, "They want more money, so of course they have to provide us with more services." [Service] These two Zhao Yang bit the word very hard.

"The more greedy they are, the better it is. I'm afraid they won't be greedy."

"But, Your Highness, if they go too far, what should we do? Shall we let them want it?"

"Of course they won't let them ask for prices." Zhao Yang tapped the table with his right index finger, "Really smart people know that we can't touch our bottom line, otherwise they won't make any money."

Cao Xu thinks it is true after thinking about it. The appetites of those officials in the Liao Kingdom have been fed, and they will not give up their cash cow.In order to have a steady stream of money in the future, those officials in the Liao Kingdom will not and dare not completely offend them.

"Your Highness, you have come up with such a powerful idea."

Zhao Yang smiled deeply and said: "There is no one in this world who does not love money, and the people of Liao Kingdom are no exception. Who would have trouble with money?"

"We gave them such good things again. If we stopped giving them suddenly, they would definitely not be used to it."

"It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal." Zhao Yang smiled meaningfully.

"Your Highness said yes."

Three years ago, His Highness thought of a way to deal with the Liao Kingdom.

Liao people could not refuse this method.

Those Liao officials naturally knew that their purpose was impure, but they couldn't resist the temptation.

Your Highness's method is really too powerful.

However, having said that, it is also very sinister and vicious.

Grandfather said that only a genius like His Highness could come up with such a method.

This method is currently being carried out very well in the Liao Kingdom, and within a few years, everything in the Liao Kingdom will be under their control.It will not be difficult to destroy the Liao Kingdom by then.
