Chapter 1144

"That's right..." Zhao Ji shook his head helplessly. "It is this why the court officials and local officials wrote letters, believing that after the great war in the Song Dynasty, the strength of Western Xia was greatly damaged, and it is not worth fearing. The Northern Liao Dynasty is now facing a lot of troubles in the northern border, and I am afraid that it will not pose a threat to the northern border of our Song Dynasty for many years."

"So under such circumstances, our Song Dynasty should not be as sturdy as in the past. Instead, we should focus more on people's livelihood construction. Now, many local officials have written to the court to preside over the construction of cement straight roads, rather than continue to build slowly by the Ministry of Works..."

Listening to Zhao Ji's complaints, Wang Yang's face became more and more gloomy. The shamelessness of these guys was really helpless.

"But Your Majesty has never wavered. However, because of this, many of your previous ideas and new ideas have not been implemented for the time being, such as improving the crossbows on the borders of the Song Dynasty..."

"And the Yuanyou stone thrower, the output of the current Yuanyou stone thrower is not dared to increase at all. After all, this thing was originally a big money-consuming project."

Wang Yang nodded. "It's really hard for Your Majesty. However, if you don't increase the funds, Wang's idea of ​​adding a few more killing weapons to our Song Dynasty is probably going to be stranded for the time being..."

"Can the big killer weapon be even more powerful than the Yuanyou crossbow, Yuanyou Jia, or the Yuanyou stone throwing machine?" After hearing Wang Yang's words, Zhao Ji, who just thought it was the bragging of this old driver, couldn't help but smile.

Wang Yang saw Zhao Ji's expression and couldn't help but shook his head slowly. "Those things, haha, if Wang could really develop those big killing weapons, these things would be like the light of fireflies and how could they compete with Haoyue? Do you think they are powerful?"

Zhao Ji looked at Wang Yang's picture and seemed to be very serious. After a long time, he seemed to realize that Wang Yang did not mean to brag about him. He seemed to be telling a real thing. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, a little uncertain.

"Can it really be more powerful than the Yuanyou stone throwing machine that destroys the city and is like a tyrant?"

"The Yuanyou stone thrower is not worth mentioning in front of the new weapon I am about to develop. It is far from comparable to the course and destructive power." Wang Yang said very surely.

"But it needs to be kept confidential now. After all, it is not a matter of overnight development for such a weapon, and the funds required are even more cost-effective..."

Zhao Ji couldn't help but take a breath. "It actually costs so much? But now, the bottom line that Your Majesty can hold is only about three million chunks. If you have to invest so much money to develop, it is probably unlikely."

"Since you can no longer reduce expenses, you will naturally need to open up your source." Wang Yang nodded and replied.

"It makes sense, but where does this open source come from? No matter it is the three provinces and six ministries, or the Privy Council, it is impossible to pay an extra copper plate to our military weapon supervisor under tremendous pressure." Zhao Ji spread his hands helplessly and smiled.

"So, what our military weapon prison needs to do is not to ask for money from the court, but to learn how to be independent and self-reliant."

"Why does Xiao Wang feel a little confused?" Zhao Ji looked at Wang Yang who was talking to him in confusion.

"We don't have that much funding, so we can find a way to make money by ourselves. As ministers, we naturally want to try every means to solve our problems. Instead, once we encounter difficulties, we only know how to find Your Majesty and let Your Majesty find a way for us." Wang Yang glared at Zhao Ji with a grudge and replied.

Zhao Ji's expression suddenly froze, and his eyes passed directly over Wang Yang, but fell behind him. Only then did he notice that a familiar figure had stood outside the front door.

Noticed Zhao Ji's strangeness, Wang Yang subconsciously turned his head and saw the emperor Zhao Xu smiling, and seemed to lift his front panel and walk into the front hall.

"Shiyilang, Wang Wushan, I didn't disturb your Yaxing in chatting, did I?"

"I (my brother) see Your Majesty..." The two of them quickly stood up and greeted him.

"Okay, okay, you're all flat, not outsiders, there's no need to be so tight. Today's court will be apart early, and I'm idle and have nothing to do, so I went out of the palace to walk around. I didn't expect that I would meet you two here. It's really fate..." The emperor sat down with a smile, took the tremite lotus seed soup brought by the servants of the Duan Palace and took a big sip.

The cool and sweet soup flowed through the throat, and the heat seemed to dissipate in a short while, making Zhao Xu's eyebrows unfold.

"Just just heard the argument between you two about military equipment supervision funds. Wang Wushan's thoughts really refreshed me. If you don't mind, it would be better to say it in detail. I also want to listen carefully to what you said about independence and self-reliance."

"Since Your Majesty has an order, please forgive me for saying something wrong..." Wang Yang smashed his mouth and had many thoughts. Wang Yang could tell Zhao Ji directly without any hesitation.

However, if you want to tell the emperor Zhao Xu, you must have reasonable and well-founded reasons to convince the emperor. In this way, Wang Yang's ideas and ideas can only be implemented.

"I think that the current ministers and workers in the court want to focus most of the energy of the court on building people's livelihood and governing people's livelihood. However, our Song Dynasty cannot only focus on the prosperity and stability of the country, but forget that our Song Dynasty is surrounded by strong enemies, and countless enemies are still eyeing our wealth in the Central Plains."

Emperor Zhao Xu nodded deeply, but his expression seemed helpless. "But at present, not only the officials in the court, but even the local officials have written letters, so I can't do anything to..."

"I naturally know your difficulties. It is already extremely difficult for you to maintain the annual expenditure of 3 million chunks of military weapons supervision. If it increases further, I am afraid I don't know how much storm will cause in the court. Therefore, I think that chunks of military weapons should no longer make you embarrassed, but should think of a solution yourself."

"I think of a way myself?" Zhao Ji and Zhao Xu asked at the same time.

"It is to let the military weapon supervisor set up a department to contact merchants to sell some civilian parts to those private vendors..."

Zhao Ji and Zhao Xu looked at each other, and their expressions seemed to be asking each other, is this guy Wang Wushan crazy about money?

Seeing the gaze of the emperor Zhao Xu, Zhao Ji, who understood it, coughed dryly and raised two important issues that he could consider.

"Sir, your idea seems to be inappropriate. How can you take out the sales and private vendors from the military weapon prison? If this falls into the hands of the enemy country, who can afford this responsibility?"
