Chapter 795 Let (Last Part)(1/2)
Wang Ju looked at Shen Kuo while thinking about his thoughts.
Shen Kuo was also very interesting. At that time, in order to match the pickled meat, Bi'an understood the simple pressure cooker with Wang Ju's reminder. The effect is not as good as the pressure cooker in later generations, but the principle is similar. Don't look at this shoddy simple pressure cooker, if it is placed in the Song Dynasty, it would be black technology.
A small pot involves all aspects of knowledge.
In fact, it has many uses, not only to help cook corned beef, but also to cook and boil bone soup.
Now this small pot is not only sold well in the Song Dynasty, but also in other countries.
When Shen Kuo arrived at Liminjian, the profits of Liminjian have gradually increased a little, but the income ratio is still very poor. So Shen Kuo used the knowledge he learned from Liminjian and brought craftsmen to finally tinker with the pressure cooker.
It was made and seized the market with the other side.
When Wang Ju found out, he was both amused and laughed.
However, the pressure cooker in front was made, and many good things appeared on the other side of the back.
That is glycerin.
It is not industrial glycerin synthesized with propylene as raw material, or primitive glycerin using natural oils as raw material.
Why study glycerin and nitroglycerin? Only when yellow gunpowder replaces black gunpowder can a large number of thermal weapons be launched on a large scale. If there are thermal weapons, will nomadic people still be a nightmare for the agricultural people in the Central Plains?
But it is too difficult to produce sulfuric acid, nitric acid, etc. in industrial use.
However, glycerol can be officially produced now, although this glycerol is a little behind.
Glycerin comes out, and undoubtedly all kinds of soaps are also out, which can also facilitate processing of pickled wax products and fruit feeding. These two are also very important to the other side. They are also important export materials on the other side.
Also, because it is natural oil and glycerin, it has extremely low harm and can be processed into various balms and skin care products.
This is the benefit of technical research. Although Huang Gunpowder is far away, in this research process, as long as Wang Ju can remember, every technology that appears can be turned into productivity.
For example, if you want to make sulfuric acid, you must improve the relevant distillation technology. Although sulfuric acid is also far away, these improved distillation technologies are used in the winemaking and perfume manufacturing industries, which at least saves a lot of costs and improves product quality.
Therefore, various soaps and cosmetics began to be dumped in the Song Dynasty.
There is no way, who made the Song Dynasty the largest market?
But the other side did not hurt the economic market of the Song Dynasty. On the contrary, because of the large-scale transit of the other side's fleet, the import value continued to export value, especially Hangzhou and Quanzhou. Driven by the trade on the other side, the commercial tax gradually came out of Ezhou, which was the highest in the country. Of course, the capital city could not be counted.
When Shen Kuo saw that this thing seemed to be more profitable, he got into it, but how could he understand it?
However, this person is indeed very awesome in terms of scientific talent. Under his leadership, the steam engine technology has been improved several times. Although it cannot be placed in Sanmenxia as a means of transportation, it is probably not too far away to place it on each pit mine to create a few small locomotives and pull the ore.
But what made Wang Ju speechless was that this man was obviously good at this aspect, but he always looked down on this aspect of knowledge. Instead, he always wanted to use the Liminjian as a tool for him to come out again.
Wang Ju was no longer there, so he had to say something. If one day you truly understand the difficulties of improving the transportation of the Sanmen, you will be like the emperor recommending you to serve as the Minister of Works.
Shen Kuo said dissatisfiedly, "I'll be the Ministry of Works."
The Sixth Ministry of the Secretariat. Wang Ju said heavily, now there are only two departments in the Sixth Ministry of the Ministry of Works. There is no Shang, but only Kumamoto is the only minister. Think about the contributions made by Kumamoto. This is the public, and the relationship between the two is still very good in private. Otherwise, Shen Kuo would not have said this.
"Save it, follow me.?? Want to see?"
Wang Ju whispered.
He brought Shen Kuo to Zhao Xu, who was talking to Lao Wang's wife.
Wang Ju came to him and said, "Your Majesty, I worked very hard when I was a teenager, so my personality was a bit extreme."
This is not a false statement, but it is not that Wang Ju worked very hard when he was a boy. In fact, he did not suffer much in Yanzhou. If he endured hardship, it was the hardship that Wang Ju had suffered in the past.
The main reason for suffering is that he suffered a lot in his previous life.
Overall, Wang Ju's heart is not bad. For example, he has always had this country, this nation, and even the nation is too over-the-top, and is also full of compassion for the poor people.
But it is precisely because of this experience that his personality has become very tough and his methods are cruel.
For example, if the truth is revealed, the Song Dynasty would be upset. For example, his ambiguous relationship with Zhao Niannu was really found out by Wen Yanbo?
However, outsiders will never know these truths.
But not only these two things, but the key is that he has judged through the Northwest intelligence that history will be re-stated. The details may be slightly different, but the general direction will not change much. In this case, he secretly sent someone to reveal his relationship with Zhao Niannu, so he went away.
Of course, if we look at the changes brought about by the current banking department and the QR tax, the 600,000 military and civilian sacrifices are worth it.
Wang Ju himself felt very guilty, but it also showed the darkness and viciousness of his methods.
However, few people really think that Wang Ju's personality is extreme. As the banking department becomes more and more effective and the implementation of various people-friendly policies, more and more ministers respecting Wang Ju are also increasing.
Wang Ju continued: "Then I became the magistrate of Huachi, and most of the time I was related to military affairs, so many scholars and officials disdained it and had few friends. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel like a wounded wolf in the wilderness, both lonely and confused."
"Wang Qing," Zhao Xu's eyes became a little wet when he heard this. Don't think that Wang Ju had been having a happy life in the past two years. In fact, he worked hard every day and night, which was not easy. As for the past, he had fought in the north and north, and there was almost no comfortable time.
But this sentence is not very appropriate. It seems that Wang Juzhi does not make many friends, but with the changes in the past two years, many officials admire Wang Ju very much, including Wang Anshi's son-in-law Cai Bian, Xu Jiang, the Minister of War, and Chen Anshi, the Minister of Revenue. As for many middle-aged and young officials below, they have become Wang Ju's fans.
Even if Wang Ju is not perfect in many places, under his governance, the Song Dynasty really seemed to have achieved the goal of self-sufficient in the country without adding taxes. Not to mention perfection, how many people can achieve perfection? With the help of this country without adding taxes, the country without using taxes, it means that the ancients are not seen in front and no visitors are seen in the future.
What made them even more admired and sighed was that Wang Ju would only stay in Zhong for three years, and I am afraid that it would be less than a year now, and then he would go to Shaanxi to work hard. After fighting hard, he took a boat far away and went abroad. After doing so, he would leave with his clothes and his reputation and fame!
Even if he has an ambiguous relationship with the eldest princess, even if he has a bad temper, then what's wrong!
But Wang Ju is not considered sensational. Indeed, under such a political situation, it is really difficult to do something, which makes him confused and discouraged several times.
And don’t think that peace is going to happen. I can only say that in these few years, there will probably be no more big problems.
Wang Ju said again: "As for my elders, my father was killed by the Xixia people very early, and my mother was forced to live and remarried to the Jiang family in the Security Guardian Juncheng. Fortunately, there were two elders who had been caring about me, so I wanted to ask for a few days off to host the funeral for the prince."
"Accurate, accurate," How could Zhao Xu not be accurate in such a kind and righteous approach?
"Also, when the prince passed away, it seems that the minister has become the first prime minister. However, I have always been unclear about how to be the first prime minister, so I suggest that Mr. Cai be the chief minister."
It turned out that Zhong was Wang Gui, Wang Ju and Zhang Ju, but Lao Wang was ill. The burden was on Wang Ju and Zhang Ju. Moreover, because the bank department had many affairs, it was difficult to do so in the past or two years. Once the bank department was completely stable, all the people-friendly policies were implemented. Zhong would be much more idle again. But it was not possible at the moment. Lao Zhang was so tired that he asked to retire. Therefore, Zhao Xu exchanged Zhang Ju and Cai Que for a while. Lao Zhang went to his subordinates, and Cai Que came to Zhong.
But both Cai Que and Zhang Jue are located under Wang Juban.
"This" Zhao Xu is a little confused
Cai Que is even more confused.
"Your Majesty, I have made a serious mistake. Thanks to Your Majesty's favor, I will reuse it again. This is a violation of many rules. If I serve as the number one prime minister, there will be no major problems in my hands, but what kind of bad consequences will arise if my descendants imitate it."
But no one is a fool, and someone immediately understood that Wang Ju missed this great opportunity, but he couldn't stand first, but he did the same thing.
Moreover, Cai Que has worked with Wang Ju for a long time, at least Cai Que will not hinder Wang Ju from doing things.
Wang Ju's previous political enemies, coupled with the introduction of the Banking Department and the QR tax, had many ministers who praised and appreciated Wang Ju, but there were also many enemies, but these people were hiding in the dark and could not find an opportunity to give up. Therefore, Wang Ju was so arrogant and never served as the first minister, which would invisibly reduce many attacks.
The reason is very simple. Anyone who is a little smart can think of it. The question is how many people can let go? This is the number one appearance!
Thinking back then, how many dirty things did Han Qi do to get the No. 1 Prime Minister Fu Bi?
But what happened later made everyone unexpected.
Zhao Xu went from the palace and summoned Fan Chunren to Yanhe Palace, saying, "I have discussed the talents of ministers with Wang Ju. Wang Qing said that the talents of ministers in court should be the best in Zhang Dun. He also said that you are unmatched among the important ministers. But no matter whether it is ethical or talent, you are not as good as your father. Therefore, a right prime minister is enough, but the talent of being prime minister is insufficient."
What is right, there are both good and bad reviews, Fan Chunren is speechless.
"But the prince was seriously ill. Wang Ju suddenly realized that the role of the prince was the adjustment. Under the regulation of the prince, the conflicts in the court have not intensified. Although there were many disputes between the banking department and the Qigong Taxation, it was not like the Xining period. Wang Ju will go to Shaanxi next year, so he still needs to transfer a minister to Zhong. Wang Qing did not recommend Zhang Dun, but recommended you. Do you know why?"
Fan Chunren was puzzled. He said before that his talent was not suitable for being prime minister, but later why he recommended himself to the Central Committee to serve as prime minister.
"Because the banking department has achieved results, the country no longer has to worry about finances. When it is quiet, only when the court is quiet will the literati and officials will not have any disputes, and even divide the country, making the country not harmonious and un united. Although Zhang Dun is talented, he is too strong, so Wang Ju recommends you to me, but he is afraid that your talents will not be enough."
"I dare not be competent."
"That's okay. There is Cai Qing in Zhong. Wang Qing will stay in Zhong for nearly a year, and you can still get along. But I summoned you and only said one thing. Wang Ju recommended you to me, and then said, as the prime minister of the country, you should put the right talents in the right position. He also said before that you can deal with things, not with people, and before private matters."
Wang Ju recommends Fan Chunren. What he is worried about is talent.
However, Zhao Xu thought a lot. Fan Chunren is indeed very gentle in character, quite like Lao Wang. Secondly, if we talk about the old and new parties, Fan Chunren is an old party, and there is no mention of checks and balances. If Fan Chunren and Cai Que cooperate happily and the two set an example, the contradictions below will be reduced a lot.
Wang Ju said that the National Party had fought against the differences several times, and the literati and officials were seriously disagreeing, which also aroused Zhao Xu's alertness.
But what Zhao Xu was worried about was Fan Chunren. He was indeed Wang Ju's political enemy. If Fan Chunren could not let go of this dispute between the old and the new, and continued to oppose Wang Ju after being transferred to the center, then the choice of this person would be a serious mistake.
So summon Fan Chunren to make it clear. Don’t continue to have a small family mentality. People say that they have a bad personality and are extreme, but they do things that are much more generous than you, a gentle gentleman!
"I am ashamed."
"Don't say it because you are ashamed. If you don't do it, you have to do it. If you do it, you have to do it. Wang Qing recommends you, and I will hire you out of order, so you must serve the Song Dynasty."
Fan Chunren left Yanhe Palace in a daze, and he was also confused. He kept thinking in his heart, why did this kid recommend me, why did this kid recommend me?
It turns out that he really thinks that Wang Ju is a little chick intestine.
Wang Ju is a little bit stingy, but as long as he doesn't push him to the extreme, Wang Ju won't fight back.
The other person is even more confused.
Wang Ju holds his daughter-in-law and doesn't get me wrong. Although it's almost his daughter-in-law, this daughter-in-law is too young and has just turned one year old.
But the little man looks pretty.
Wang Ju likes it too.
What Wang Ju liked was not only her talent, but also her backbone. In history, she was miserable in her later years, but even though she fell to such a level, she did not ask for help from her cousin Qin Hui, who was extremely rich.
I am a hero in life, and a hero in death. I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross the Yangtze River!
If I didn't look at the author, who would have thought that this poem was written by a woman. I don't know if I seriously tampered with her fate. Can I still write those extremely beautiful little orders in the future?
Wang Ju handed the little girl to her mother's hands.
