Before leaving, Zhao Jun assigned this year's tasks to the Constitutional Yuan.
The reform of the official system was extended to the whole country.
Two special zones, Quanzhou and Guangzhou, were established to expand foreign trade.
Form a fleet and go to sea to explore overseas intelligence.
We fully support Li Shen and continue to increase the reform of state-owned enterprises and strive to achieve results within this year.
These are just big goals, there are some smaller goals.
Such as establishing schools, promoting mathematics, Arabic numerals and basic physical and chemical knowledge, building water conservancy lathes that existed in the Song Dynasty on the Yellow River, promoting water conservancy construction, vigorously smelting steel, etc.
Then the Institute of Geology was ordered to start inspecting coal mines and iron ore locations across the country.
This was done with the intention of finding the nearest large coal mines and iron ore producing areas in the future so as to dig canals and prepare for the first industrial revolution.
There are all kinds of things, all of which are planning for the future.
A country must not only have a far-sighted vision, but also make corresponding plans.
Just as our country has finally achieved much-anticipated achievements through a series of five-year development in later generations, we need to make long-term plans.
Therefore, there should be no shortage of steps.
In the early morning of January 20th, it was early spring, and the temperature was gradually warming up.
The warm wind from the southeast blew over the Bianhe River, across the grassland outside the city, and finally blew into Bianliang City, causing the willows on both sides of the Bianhe River to sway with the wind.
Zhao Jun had breakfast in the palace, accompanied by not only Zhao Zhen but also Queen Cao.
Queen Cao's belly was not obvious two years ago, after all, she was only three months pregnant at that time, but it has been more than four months, almost five months, after the year, her belly is swollen, and her face is always filled with a happy smile.
Since the queen was present, Zhao Zhen did not talk too much with Zhao Jun, but only talked about some state affairs. It was not until the banquet was over that Zhao Zhen personally escorted Zhao Jun out of the palace.
Zhao Zhen gave serious instructions along the way. When he was approaching Xihua Gate, he said: "Dasun, be careful and safe when you go to other places."
"rest assured."
Zhao Jun smiled and said, "I won't be reckless."
"Alas, my grandson has left. I feel empty in my heart. I'd better come back as soon as possible."
Zhao Zhen was in a low mood and looked sad.
Although the emperor of a country should stand up, even without Zhao Jun, the development of the entire country must be maintained by relying on the officials of the Constitutional Yuan.
But his character is inherently weak and lacks independence. After Zhao Jun came, he has always been his backbone.
Especially after knowing the future history of the Song Dynasty and knowing that the Song Dynasty would perish, Zhao Zhen fell into panic.
He has regarded Zhao Jun as his savior.
Now that Zhao Jun was leaving Bianliang again to inspect other places, he felt a little panicked and felt like he had lost something.
"Actually, we have made a good start now and are barely on the right track."
Zhao Jun smiled and said with relief: "As long as the war in the northwest goes smoothly, the country can promote reforms and alleviate social conflicts. In this way, the country's financial pressure will be reduced, education, science and technology, economy, and military development can be promoted, and national strength will soon increase. "
Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly and said: "If that's the case, that would be great. To be honest, I have seen the changes in the Imperial Court and Bianliang, and I really hope that the Song Dynasty will be strong one day."
"There will be such a day, brother, don't worry too much. Since I came here, it must be to solve the problem. This inspection of various places is also to solve the problem."
Zhao Jun looked in the direction of Xihua Gate and said softly: "The cornerstone of the country's development is agriculture. Feeding everyone is the prerequisite for long-term stability. I went out this time to inspect the agricultural situation. The people of the Song Dynasty The job must be taken care of, otherwise even if the external troubles are solved, sooner or later there will be internal troubles.”
"Um."
Zhao Zhen responded, and then the two of them stood at the door of Xihua Gate. He said to Zhao Jun: "I'll leave everything to my grandson."
As he said that, he bowed to Zhao Jun seriously.
Zhao Jun looked serious and returned the salute.
Although in history, Zhao Zhen was just a defender and did not achieve much.
But it is undeniable that he is kind...
Um.
It seems that only kindness is left.
Moreover, a woman's benevolence, hesitation and hesitation in doing things cannot be trusted.
But at least for now, I believe that his hope that the Song Dynasty will be strong, that the Song Dynasty will change the history of Jingkang's shame in the future, and that he hopes that the Song Dynasty will be peaceful and peaceful for the people is generally true.
So Zhao Jun believed in his heart for the time being.
The two say goodbye.
There was already a carriage waiting outside the palace gate.
Jiang Dalang, Huang Sanlang and other elite spies from the Imperial City Division followed the carriage.
After Di Qing left, the strength of the escort team did not weaken, but increased by more than a hundred people.
In this way, there were more than 200 bodyguards on the surface, and hundreds of spies followed behind.
The most exaggerated thing is that Zhao Zhen was really worried about Zhao Jun's safety, so he mobilized two battalions of elite cavalry and followed behind him.
Two battalions are one thousand men.
It seems like a small number, but the problem is that it is impossible for tens of thousands of people to follow Zhao Jun.
What to do with grain and grass?
What to do with the baggage?
If he travels lightly, the large army will burden the local area. If you bring a large amount of food and grass, it will probably take several years to travel through Huainan, Zhejiang, Guangzhou, Sichuan and other places.
So one thousand people is enough.
After all, Zhao Jun still has the power to mobilize local armies, which must be unimpeded at least in the Song Dynasty.
The carriage drove slowly towards Nancheng, passed Baokang Gate, and arrived at the Three Corpses Temple.
There is also a Bianhe pier here.
At this moment, there is a tanker parked on the pier. A tanker is a transport ship with a maximum load capacity of more than 150 tons.
But it was a large tanker, and Zhao Jun used a medium-sized tanker with a load capacity of more than 70 tons, which was more than enough to carry more than 200 people and their baggage.
As for the secret police and the cavalry, they rented their own boats to follow, or took the land route to pull the food and baggage to meet at the agreed place.
The pier was already crowded with people.
After Zhao Jun's motorcade came over, people nearby were curious about which big shot this was, and who had such a big battle.
But because the carriage was surrounded by three layers inside and three outside, the people didn't know the situation.
By the time they arrived at the dock, the government had cleared the area around Zhao Jun's ship, and the surrounding people and workers were not allowed to come close to watch the excitement.
Zhao Jun got off the carriage, and Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and others were already waiting for him at the dock.
Seeing him coming, everyone stepped forward to greet him.
Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Actually, I have also told you what I should explain. What can I give you?"
"You should give something away when you should."
Yan Shu came over and said with a smile: "Otherwise, to prevent you from complaining about us on the road, we won't even come when you leave Beijing."
"Am I such a stingy person?"
Zhao Jun said casually.
"That's what you're saying now. What should I do if I have random thoughts on the road?"
Yan Shu shrugged: "The proper etiquette must be respected."
"All right."
Zhao Jun scratched his head.
Lao Lutou held a wooden box in his hand and said: "Hanlong, I don't have anything to give you when you leave Beijing. If you come to Shouzhou, here are my autographed letters and my jade pendant token. Find my brother Lu Zongjian. Any He can do everything for you."
"oh?"
Zhao Jun looked at Lao Lu suspiciously and said: "I went to Huainan with no good intentions. I went to inspect the situation in the disaster area. If I catch any corrupt officials there and get involved with your Lu family, don't you be afraid?" Did I take care of your Lu family?"
Lu Yijian smiled and said, "You can rest assured. The Lu family has been officials for three generations, starting from my grandfather. Their money has come from a good source. It was my grandfather who accumulated it and my uncle grew stronger, so he will not be greedy for that little money."
There is a saying in later generations: "Why do you think your ten years of poverty are worth my three generations of business?"
The Lu family did not have ten years of hard work, but three generations of hard work, and they were also prime ministers for two generations. They received a salary of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan every year. In addition, they were engaged in business for generations.
So comparing three generations of businessmen with the Lu family is like the difference between mules and nobles.
At least in the historical data, there is indeed no record of corruption in the Lu family, but it is recorded that their family was extremely wealthy and had to kill a hundred chickens a day to eat chicken tongue.
Moreover, everyone who reported Lu Yijian's corruption investigated and investigated and finally found that Lao Lu was not corrupt, but deliberately set a trap for political opponents. Li Di and Wang Zeng were both framed by Lao Lutou using this method.
So there is really no need for him to engage in corruption to give leverage to his political opponents.
When Zhao Jun heard what he said, he rolled his eyes, took the box from Lao Lu and said, "Okay, I know your family is rich. If I come to Shouzhou, I will go to your house as a guest."
Wang Zeng came over and said, "My family is not in Huainan, but I know what you are doing in Huainan. I have a disciple there who may know the situation there."
He also gave Zhao Jun a letter.
Others Wang Sui, Cai Qi, Song Shou, Sheng Du and others also had letters entrusted to them.
These people are all prime ministers, with disciples and former officials all over the world.
Zhao Jun left Beijing, and his first stop was the Huainan area, which was hit by the disaster the year before last and had a profound impact. They knew with their toes what he was going to do.
Anyway, the imperial court provided disaster relief, but the people there were still living worse than death. No one knew how much of the disaster relief funds fell into the hands of the people.
In addition, Huainan's harvest has been poor in the past two years, and the imperial court pays taxes every year. Zhao Zhen uses his own money to help Huainan deduct taxes.
As a result, a large number of Huainan people were still bought as slaves by local wealthy businessmen and landowners last year. The government repeatedly banned them, and the court had to pay to redeem them.
The team of prime ministers in the Constitutional Yuan naturally knew what Zhao Jun was going to Huainan for, and they couldn't stop it, so they simply wanted to be a favor and help him understand the situation.
With their personal connections and network, if Zhao Jun goes to Huainan, no matter what he wants to investigate, it will be much easier.
"It's hard to provide help when it's time, but it's easy to add icing on the cake. But you are all people who know how to add icing to the cake."
Zhao Jun took these letters and laughed.
"alright."
Lu Yijian said: "It's no better than Bianliang when you're outside. You have to be careful in everything. If something happens to you, the officials and we will go crazy."
"That's okay."
Zhao Jun accepted the letter, handed everything to Jiang Dalang next to him, and said, "Go back."
"Bon Voyage."
"Come back early."
"Remember to write official documents."
Everyone waved goodbye.
To be honest.
It has been half a year since Zhao Jun opened his eyes.
We actually face a few of them every day.
Although I have some small opinions on some of them.
But after all, they get along day and night, and the old men are not without feelings for him.
So Zhao Jun is now leaving Beijing alone, and they are really reluctant to leave.
It's not that I really don't want to give up, it's mainly because I'm afraid that he will kill people outside.
Especially in Huainan, it is now a mess, and the court has not been able to deal with it.
What if Zhao Jun went there and saw something unpleasant, killing people everywhere and causing a rebellion?
But they were unable to stop Zhao Jun from leaving, so they could only "reluctantly leave".
Zhao Jun smiled, waved to everyone, and turned around to get on the boat.
Immediately afterwards, many inspectors also came up one after another. With a melodious chant, the rope tied to the dock was untied, and the ship began to slowly leave the station.
The pier is still lively.
Lu Yijian and others stood watching from a distance, looking at the fluttering canal. Sheng Du said with a sad look on his face: "I really don't know what Han Long will do when he leaves Beijing."
"You can tell by his style that the local corrupt officials in Huainan will be in trouble."
Wang Zeng shook his head: "I hope my disciple will keep a clean mind and not join the others, otherwise even I won't be able to protect him."
"It's a good thing that Han Long is gone."
Wang Sui smiled bitterly and said: "At least Bianliang won't have to worry about it this year. I'm an old man, but I can't do it anymore."
Lu Yijian glanced at him and said: "Be content, Hanlong has actually opened up a few lines. Do you think the officialdom of Bianliang is very clean? Only Kaifeng Mansion was cleaned up, and Yushitai and Sansi only arrested a few people. If He really went on a killing spree, at least half of the thousands of officials in Bianliang must have died."
"Okay, let's go."
Yan Shu saw that the ship had passed the high bridge at the entrance of Maiju Lane and disappeared into the distance, and said, "It's time to go back and report to the officials."
Everyone then got back into their carriages and headed towards the palace.
At this moment, Zhao Zhen is waiting in the palace.
In Chongde Hall, there was a laptop on the desk. He was not in the mood to watch a movie today and was pacing around the study room restlessly.
About twenty minutes later, Lu Yijian and the others returned to the palace and reported to Zhao Zhen.
"Official family."
"Is Dasun gone?"
"gone."
"well."
Zhao Zhen sighed: "My grandson is gone, and I just can't calm down."
In the first hour without my grandson, I missed him.
Lu Yijian comforted him: "Don't worry, officials, Hanlong is a man who knows what's right. There are so many people protecting him when he goes out, so there won't be any danger."
"But I heard there's a plague in Huainan."
Zhao Zhen said worriedly: "I'm just afraid that he will get sick."
Now Zhao Jun has been regarded as a life-saving straw by Zhao Zhen. Even if he keeps the notebook, no matter how rich the content in the notebook is, how can it compare with Zhao Jun's brain?
At least the notebook can't tell them how to develop in the future, the specific manufacturing methods of steam engines, and all the courses from junior high school to high school.
Compared with Zhao Jun, a notebook is really better than nothing, so Zhao Zhen is very worried about Zhao Jun's safety, fearing that he will have an accident outside.
Although Zhao Jun has troops around him, he can also mobilize local garrison troops, so his safety is guaranteed.
The problem is that Huainan has suffered serious disasters in the past two years.
When there is a disaster, there is a plague.
Plague is a very scary thing. Even if Zhao Jun brought some medicine before leaving Beijing, what if he can't be saved?
So Zhao Zhen never wanted Zhao Jun to leave, but Zhao Jun insisted on going his own way, and he had no choice.
"The officials are worrying too much."
Yan Shu smiled and said: "The disease of plague can be cured by Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases. Ordinary people have no money or law to treat plagues. Hanlong is not short of medicine, so there is no need to worry."
"Well"
Zhao Zhen thought the same thing. "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" was almost lost in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It was collected and compiled by Wang Shuhe from Jin Dynasty. It still existed in the Song Dynasty. It had a good way to deal with the plague, so there was really no need to worry.
Thinking of this, he nodded slightly.
Lu Yijian looked at the computer and said with an itchy heart: "Guan, Han Long is gone, why don't we watch a movie and learn about future generations."
See a movie?
Good suggestion.
Zhao Zhen suddenly became energetic and agreed: "Okay, let's watch the movie."
As he said that, everyone gathered around him.
When Zhao Jun was here, he controlled the computers, and Zhao Jun usually kept them. People like them couldn't even touch them, let alone watch movies.
It was only during this period of time when I was teaching Zhao Zhen how to operate the computer that I showed them.
The last time I watched a movie was when Zhao Jun celebrated his birthday. The grand sci-fi scenes stunned everyone, so much so that they all thought about it for a long time and dreamed of the vast universe in "The Wandering Earth".
Now that Zhao Jun is gone and we finally have the chance to watch a movie again, everyone naturally wants to try it again.
present.
Following Zhao Zhen's operation, the movie continued to play in the entertainment folder.
