Chapter 59 Section Fourteen

Pan Zhaolin was not as blindly optimistic as Shi Yue, he frowned, and was slightly dissatisfied that Shi Yue hadn't discussed with himself: "My lord, have you ever thought that if the weapons research institute doesn't achieve any results within a year, it will become Others are attacking you. This research institute will cost the state treasury a lot of money and give out a bunch of official positions for nothing, so someone must be watching here." These words could not be said at the banquet just now, and now there are only two people, he Don't spit fast. "It's true that I was a little careless, but we can trust Shen Kuo and the others. At most, I will use more snacks. This is something that is of great benefit to the country. I can't care too much about personal gains and losses." Shi Yue smiled nonchalantly.

Pan Zhaolin sighed: "A wise man should protect the country after his death. The young master is a man of great promise. It will not be too late to do these things one day. The current plan is to make achievements within a year as much as possible. In this way Bad things will turn into good things, and the weapon research institute will become an important achievement of the young master." Shi Yue actually didn't care, because his confidence in the technical ability of the Song Dynasty was stronger than that of Pan Zhaolin. Pan Zhaolin asked again: "How did you persuade Wang Anshi to take money from the treasury to support the research of the Academy of Arms?"

Wang Anshi is not stingy with the expenditure of the state treasury. The characteristic of his financial policy is to increase revenue without cutting expenditure. But after all, Shi Yue and Wang Anshi are hidden opponents. Pan Zhaolin was still quite surprised. Shi Yue laughed and said, "It's not that difficult to get money out of the treasury, but it's not that easy either. If Wang Anshi wanted to embarrass me, the two governments and the three divisions would discuss for more than ten days, and the court meeting would last for more than ten days. I won't get a penny after a month. But this time the money came from the emperor's inner treasury."

"what?" Shi Yue smiled and said: "The emperor is also like me, thinking that one thing more is worse than one thing less. I said that the research funds can be raised by myself, but the emperor said it was too unseemly, so he paid the money. The treasury paid for it. It’s just the salary of the research institute. But sooner or later, I have to find a way by myself, after all, it’s not a long-term solution.” Pan Zhaolin sighed, a little sighed, and said: "The emperor really wants to do great things, otherwise, this kind of thing will never be satisfactory." After talking about this, he remembered another thing, because he said: "My lord, the first issue of "Bai Shui Tan Academic Journal" has been printed, have you read it?"

"Oh, what happened? Why didn't Sang Changqing tell me?" Shi Yue asked with interest. "I put a copy in your study, take a look, I feel something is wrong in some places." Pan Zhaolin said casually. "Of course I have to watch it. I'll ask Shi Jian to deliver it to my bedroom later." Shi Yue leaned on the bed and looked at the first issue of "Bai Shui Tan Academic Journal" in a daze. "Ming Li Juan" is mainly an explanation and elaboration of the meaning of the scriptures. A large part of the articles are written by Sang Chongguo and others. To explain other Confucian classics with his thoughts, Shi Yue was dumbfounded. Besides, he mainly talked about the gains and losses of historical events; while "Gewu Juan" is mostly about math problems, and there are some attempts to discuss and discuss the mathematical theories proposed by Shi Yue. Proof articles, and some physical experiments and geographical terrain analysis...

Shi Yue glanced at ten lines and turned them casually, looking at them, his eyelids began to fight, and finally couldn't hold on, he fell asleep with his head tilted, and the magazine in his hand fell to the ground.Shi Jian, who had been waiting outside, walked in gently, helped Shi Yue tuck the quilt up, picked up the magazine on the floor, and saw a few large characters printed on the opened page: Sheng Shiyi pays attention to the law of the former king, and should not ask questions Wen Xu said that it is ruled by pictures.It was an article discussing Wang Mang's restructuring.He didn't care about it either, he put away the book casually, blew out the candles, closed the door gently and went back to his room.
