Chapter 69 The Leaker

It's a good opportunity, but is there the opportunity that Wang Ju reminds me? As long as the court is willing to send twenty suicide squadrons, it can be done with 10,000 guan.

However, Wang Ju didn't hear any movement.

In fact, Zhao Zhen cannot be blamed. If it is true, then after Wu Zang Epang killed Li Liangzuo, the Song Dynasty must have a series of follow-up measures to maximize its interests, so it must be called to discuss with the ministers. However...

Zhao Zhen was so hard that he could not be more bitter.

This is a living example.

Therefore, if Cheng Kan dares to tell the truth to Wang Ju, Wang Ju will dare to tell the truth to him. After all, he is a native of Song now and he also wants the Song Dynasty to be good.

As long as the truth is revealed, Cheng Kan will make a choice, not disturb the court and work alone, just like Zhong Shiheng. And if there were no accidents, Zhao Zhen died soon, and the Song Dynasty would not agree.

Then it is not advisable to occupy Hengshan. Although this may be the best strategy, the Song Dynasty must support a large amount of materials and troops. It is impossible to rely on the power of several state troops on the roads and several states, and it will cause defeat.

It is also not advisable to transfer various ministries. Once taken in, there will be tens of thousands of people. If Fuyan Road cannot be resettled, it must be resettled in other places. In this way, it must be reported to the court.

But there is another policy that can be taken advantage of, and that Qingnihuai's side will send troops to Lingxia and take in some of his family members. As a result, Qingnihuai's side will be defeated.

However, the operation space was left, which severely damaged the unstable Li Liangzuo regime, and the Qiangs of Hengshan were divided, and the power of the Fuyanlu was enough.

It is also a great achievement, no less than the great achievement of Zhong Shiheng’s counter-espionage plan!

But Cheng Kan didn't say that, and Wang Ju had to leave.

Cheng Kan then reported to the court and mentioned the matter about horses. No matter what he thought of Wang Ju, these two suggestions Cheng Kan thought were desirable.

Zhao Zhen quickly received his memorial, which was a secret memorial. He also punished the mistakes he made last time, so he only summoned a few big bosses from the two palaces to discuss.

Some people agreed, some opposed, and they started to argue again.

But it was very secret, and the outside world didn't know it. But what was strange was that such a secret news was found in Xixia less than two months after Cheng Kan wrote a letter.

Li Liangzuo was frightened and immediately sent someone to enthrone the officials of Qingnihuaifang, and transported another fortune to win over the chiefs of Hengshan.

In April, the tribes of Hengshan immediately settled down, and no one wanted to rebel.

Cheng Kan was stunned and gained something. Under Cheng Kan's operation, he obtained more than 2,000 horses from Hengshan. If the news was not leaked, as long as Cheng Kan continued to transport food to Hengshan, perhaps in a year, Cheng Kan would get tens of thousands of good horses.

Cheng Kan's trouble is still there.

Sima Guang also learned about this incident. This person was an appeaser from someone, so he hated Cheng Kan.

Cheng Kan's three-year term has arrived. He did a good job in Yanzhou. Considering that no one has replaced him, the court added the position of Wu'an Jiedushi and asked him to work for another three years. Then let's continue to stay.

But Sima Guang wrote two books: Cheng Kansu has no talent... Moreover, he is old and sick now, and is even more stupid and incompetent. He is in peace and quiet, and is living a life of peace and security. He is slow to the officials and soldiers, and is lighter than Rong Zhai...

Cheng Kan Jianjie's re-appointment was not in line with the expectations of the public, begging for the past... He thought that he was old and despised, feared others' eyes, specialized in tolerating and bewitching the crowd...

This is even more cruel than cursing. Cheng Kan was a little bit angry. Sima kid, how could I offend you?

No one listened to him, but the Emperor Shenzong of Song came to power. Sima Guang reported again and simply turned on the matter of Qingnihuaifang. "I heard from the border minister that Zhao Liangzuo's subordinates were Qingnihuaifang, and wanted to attack Liangzuo with the people from Hengshan. The court allowed the orders to recruit. Those who pursued the plan only talked about their profits, but not their harm..."

The truth was revealed, and it turned out that Sima Guang hated Cheng Kan for the sake of the light Ni.

Zhao Xu had just succeeded to the throne, but Zhao Xu didn't know the secret of this matter, so he was puzzled and asked someone to go down to investigate.

This investigation quickly found out that if no one leaked the secret, Xixia would not react so quickly. Moreover, the leak speed was unimaginable, almost no less than that, so the news was received before and the quick horse was notified to Xixia.

As an emperor with an extremely enterprising spirit, you can imagine the regret. But Zhao Xu was not stupid either. He immediately thought of who leaked the secret to Xixia, and then thought of Sima Guang's jumping up and down during that period.

So he was furious and asked Wen Yanbo: "Why did Sima Guang know about it?"

This was a confidential memorial. Zhao Zhen only discussed with a few prime ministers. Sima Guang's position at that time was only the Zhijianyuan and did not participate. Therefore, Sima Guang's memorial was extremely strange.

Wen Yanbo said, "I was mourning at home because of my mother's death, and I didn't know about this."

Zhao Xu summoned Sima Guang again, but Sima Guang not only refused to answer, but instead asked: "Zhao Liangzuo praised his ministers and paid tribute, so he should not lure his traitors to promote border affairs."

After some great truth, Song Shenzong made him dizzy and forgot to call him into the palace. He had to say, "Besides, people are spreading their words."

Sima Guang struck while the iron was hot and said, "Outsiders say that Yang Ding, Gao Zunyu, Xue Xiang, and Wang Zhongjian are the strategies."

He also said that these people were so bad, Qingnihuai wanted to rebel and deal with the four people's nothing. But Cheng Kan died, and it would not work to investigate Cheng Kan, so he simply took away a few radical ministers and generals.

…………

"The horse-buying club has finally stopped." Zhu Huan said.

"That's a good thing." Wang Ju said. He didn't know what happened behind the scenes, and he really thought that Cheng Kan cooperated with Ouyang Xiu to set up a horse prison in Hedong.

He was not very convinced of the Song Dynasty's horse raising, especially the government's horse raising.

As long as the government raises horses, the more they raise, the more they lose. It would be better to take as usual. Zhu Huan gets two or three hundred good horses every year. Because of the small number, there is no pastoral supervisor in Yanzhou, so Cheng Kan quickly handed over to the army, which actually played a more or less effective role.

"Mr. Cheng is also kind-hearted," Zhu Huan said again: "I heard that the court asked Cheng Ken to stay in Yanzhou for another term, which is also a blessing for Yanzhou."

Cheng Kan asked him to take the horse buying club. Zhu Huansheng was afraid that something would happen, so nothing happened. Zhu Huan thought that the Song Dynasty was short of horses, and he also agreed with Cheng Kan's actions.

Wang Ju was also silent.

In his heart, the Song Dynasty would rather not officials like Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, and Shi Jie, and could not be missing Cheng Kan, who might have been unknown in later generations. Maybe they have many shortcomings, but they are not big-mouthed and are doing practical things.

Think about Fang Du of the Tang Dynasty, and then think about Li Wen, the saint prime minister who took over the peak rule of the Song Dynasty, the Xianping rule. What they said, even no one knows what they did.

In addition, the four sage prime ministers Wang Zeng, Li Di, Zhang Zhibai and Du Yan when Liu E were in power.

Including Lu Yijian, he was not a big mouth, but only attracted the attention of future generations under Fan Zhongyan and Kong Daofu's continuous attack.

Cheng Kan and Wang Ju did not catch a cold, and did not work as a deputy to Yanzhou to build roads, build cities and defend, and appease the people. They even wrote to the court to ask the court to reuse some capable foreign generals, and they did a good job.

Then Zhu Huan said the serious matter: "Look, this is the best paper."

The idea that Wang Ju came out was bamboo paper.

The materials for papermaking in the Song Dynasty were varied, including vines, hemp, sick cocoons, bark, straw, and even septic moss. However, it was mostly made of ancient vines and hemp, or green sandalwood bark and mulberry bark. The yield of hemp is low and the number of ancient vines is limited, so the paper made is expensive and thick, so thick that it can be worn as clothes and as paper armor.

In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, bamboo paper technology began to appear, but the whiteness was not enough, and the paper lacked toughness. "If you write a secret book, no one dared to dismantle it, but it would crack and no longer stick." Cai Xiang's official was greedy for a small advantage and once used this crude bamboo paper to write official documents. As a result, "the lawsuit was not settled, and the documents were already scattered", so it was banned. However, the technology was constantly improving, and by the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, this kind of bamboo paper could barely be used.

Wang Ju knew this history, and in fact, he only needed to start from three aspects. First, change the raw materials into clinker, and repeatedly steam and rinse the bamboo materials to improve the purity of the fiber; second, use natural bleaching method to allow the clinker to be exposed to the sun and rain for a long time to make fine white bamboo pulp; third, increase the pounding strength.

It is also possible to use raw materials. Although the color is yellow, it is suitable for printing paper. However, a process must be added, a material trough is placed, and then manually stomp the materials repeatedly can peel off the fibers, fully transform them, increase toughness, and the cost is much lower than that of clinker paper.

Wang Ju asked Zhu, Zhao and Li's family to go to Hangzhou to develop these two types of bamboo papers.

However, there are many specific processes, according to "The Start of Construction of Heaven and Things", there are 72 processes.

Therefore, Wang Ju chose the address in Fuyang. Not only did Fuyang and Jiajiang bamboo paper have good transportation, but it also had a good cultural foundation. The papermaking industry here is relatively developed. There were many famous papers from Yuezhou to Hangzhou, and some bamboo paper craftsmanship foundations were also provided.

Several families followed Wang Ju's opinion and sent people to Hangzhou immediately, and had to grab Hsinchu. They then bought a Zhushan on the banks of Zhejiang River in Fuyang, and hired more than a dozen papermakers at high prices. The salary was very high, but they signed a sky-high compensation contract. As long as the workshop continued to pay this high salary, these papermakers could not leak their skills, otherwise they would have to compensate the workshop for 100,000 yuan.

The magistrate of Fuyang was laughing and crying at the deed paper.

Bamboo paper, something good, so I agreed.

The reason why Wang Ju came up with this bamboo paper was because he was not in a tight position at the moment, but salt was not a long-term solution. But God knows when he will be awarded the Jinshi. Even if he won the Jinshi, if he is not at a high level, he still has to slowly grind it.

Even if you become a magistrate, like Zhang Zai, the expenses will be enough. But it is not easy to become a magistrate. Or you will be the top scorer... the one who will sweat.

Moreover, the appearance of bamboo paper is also helpful to scholars.

There was still a vague idea in his mind that even if he became an official, he would have resources. If these merchants were tied to their own chariot, they would be a kind of resource, but that one was still far away.

Wang Ju tried it, then looked at the craftsmanship brought by Zhu Huan, thought for a long time, and pointed out a few things that Zhu Huan sent to improve it next year.

It can be used, but it has not yet achieved the goal in Wang Ju's mind.

There is no hurry. Wang Ju said this in the first lunar month that it may be next year and it has already come out, so everyone can afford to wait.

Zhu Huan said again: "Have Mr. Zhang repaired that book?"
