In fact, this proposal is difficult for a generation of emperors to accept. Very few people would have such courage. More importantly, due to the limitations of the times, people in the current era cannot see the changes in future trends.
But Zhao Zhen is a person who has been in power all his life. He knows that this method is the best, but it is also the most impossible. However, he lamented that this idiot was still the same idiot as before. Such words were something he could say. If it were anyone else, let alone opening his mouth, he would break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it, because even if he just goes through it in his mind, he can easily I saw the scene of the nine ethnic groups kneeling in a row at the entrance of the alley, waiting to be beheaded.
So in the end, this method was naturally not adopted. Zhao Zhen drove Brother Zhang out and told him not to tell other people about such a bad method, otherwise it would be difficult for him to keep this idiot when he becomes the emperor.
However, this meeting was not without benefits, that is, he was promoted again, from the fifth-rank prefect to the third-rank governor, and served as the governor of Quzhou, leading the direct bachelor of Longtuge and Tong Zhongshu's sect.
In other words, it took Brother Zhang eight years to go directly from the ninth rank to the prime minister.
I want to ask if anyone in the DPRK has any opinions?
You have to dare!
Let’s talk directly with data. The first is financial data. Quzhou controls the land of Yuhang. He is the basic actual controller. Over the years, the tax revenue has exceeded 70% of the entire Song Dynasty. What does this concept mean? Let’s simply say one hundred people. Seventy-five officials were supported by him.
The second grain output accounted for 60% of the entire Song Dynasty. Simply put, it used one-twentieth of the land to feed three-fifths of the population.
The third is that the manufacturing of weapons and equipment accounted for 85% of the entire Song Dynasty, and the training of soldiers accounted for 90%. To put it simply, although he is a prefect, he is doing the job of the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. The Minister of the Ministry of War has to go to him a few days in advance to discuss anything. If he doesn't nod, even the people from the Ministry of War can't come.
Fourth, disaster relief throughout the territory over the years does not require government financial allocations. This is awesome. In the past eight years, a total of twelve disasters, large and small, have occurred across the country. The biggest one was the flood disaster in Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi. There was almost no harvest in the country, but the court did not spend a single day. He shared the money and helped the disaster all by himself.
The fifth one promotes fine seeds and tools throughout the territory, and carries out education and promotion. To use his words of ridicule in the main hall, it means that the Dukes of Gungun have been in office for decades, and the total number of people they teach is not as many as his own. Moreover, he also has a very, very awesome and even amazing poverty alleviation policy. It has even been included in the national policy of the Song Dynasty. This policy is for agricultural products, industrial products and handicraft products based on the development needs of various places. Assistance program.
And all these things are added together. Except for the Ministry of Rites, which has nothing to do with him, among the six departments, if the other five departments want to do something, they must first go there for a walk, and then make a plan based on the situation there and report it to the court. .
Five of the six ministries depended on him, so why not let him bring down the entire prime minister, lest they be said to be dishonest. It's better now, the ministers can save their worries and efforts, so as not to sneak around every time.
However, he is also the first Tongping Zhangshi in history who is not in the capital, so the person in this position is in the capital, and this person is Su Zhe, who specializes in fishing for his brother.
Speaking of Su Che, we have to talk about Su Shi. In recent years, Su Shi has not been demoted. He has been assigned. However, this is also the result of discussion between Brother Zhang and him. Now Su Shi is the governor of Quanzhou, supervising the southeastern shipping and completing the maritime silk On the last section of the road, he had taken a boat trip to the Persian Gulf a few days ago, where he ate a roasted camel. As he described in his letter, the roasted camel had "tight and fragrant meat and crispy skin." Oily, mellow and delicious." He even wrote a travelogue, which has now been published. It is called "Records of Seventeen Kingdoms", which records in detail the history, culture, food, geographical characteristics, and characteristics of the seventeen countries in the Western Regions. weather characteristics.
To say that Su Dongpo is a fairy figure, people go out to investigate or something, that is, to record it, and this fairy also does the work of helping people suppress rebellions. There are many countries in the Western Regions to the Persian Gulf, and their beliefs are mixed, leading to wars. Continuously. Su Shi stayed there for two years, assessed six rebellions, and also helped the locals plan trade and revitalize the country. When he arrived in Persia, he already had the seals of the Four Kingdoms on his body. Although they were all honorary, it was also extraordinary. Incredible.
And Brother Zhang also discovered that Su Dongpo may not be gifted, he just has a high IQ, otherwise his talent would not be able to fully blossom in poetry, water conservancy, military, politics, commerce, etc., and this guy Eighty percent of brothers who are in full bloom are not talented at all but have explosive IQs.
His journey to the west can be said to be a star-studded team. Su Shi, Shen Kuo, Su Song, Wang Shao, etc. brought together the most outstanding scientists, military strategists, businessmen and poets in the entire Song Dynasty. Among them, Su Shi and Shen Kuo co-authored the Journey to the West map. The first atlas in human history using latitude and longitude and a standard scale. Su Song and Su Shi also co-authored a book called the Pharmacopoeia of the West, which recorded the plants and animals along the way from the Western Regions to Persia and listed them in advance. Wenhoek proposed the theory of microorganisms nearly 600 years ago, and Darwin proposed the species evolution hypothesis nearly 800 years before Darwin.
Shen Kuo and Su Song jointly wrote a book called "Astrological Hypothesis", which used a very rigorous thesis test method to explain the heliocentric theory, and for the first time positioned Su Shi's favorite small moon as a guarding star, which was also the first time. The approximate value of the speed of light was calculated. Their value was approximately three hundred and thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three kilometers per second. Although it was a hypothetical calculation, it was awesome to be able to calculate it to this extent.
In addition, there are more than 300 sub-categories of scientific works on meteorology, water conservancy, infectious diseases, plants, breeding, soil, etc. It is no exaggeration to say that once these people let their imaginations run wild, , giving them the vast sky, everything they do is a miracle that changes the world.
While they have begun to explore the world over there, they have begun to engage in large-scale production here. The population of the entire northern grassland is now soaring. With greenhouses, ovens and sufficient food supplies, newborns can be kept safe no matter how cold the winter is. Their one-volume "Newborn Care Guide" happens to be what Zhao Rong and her colleagues spent more than three years collecting and sorting out. It includes the care of newborns, diagnosis and treatment of common diseases, and various types of nutrition. Supplements and additions.
Needless to say, it’s no wonder that the herdsmen on the grassland erected a statue of Zhao Rong. Although they had never seen what Zhao Rong looked like, she single-handedly reduced the newborn mortality rate on the grassland from nearly 60% to less than 60%. 10%, it is normal to erect a statue of her, and she even has her own title on the grassland - Wolf Mother.
And in the summer when Brother Zhang became prime minister, Zhao Zhen finally couldn't bear it anymore. Seventy-four-year-old Zhao Zhen failed to open his eyes one morning without any warning and passed away.
After all, he did not see the regaining of the lost ground, but he did not walk the last part of the road cowardly, and his empire was even stronger than ever before.
The new emperor ascended the throne, and there was no one else but Zhao Xu, the grandson of the emperor.
As for Zhao Zhen's temple name, there is no doubt that it is Renzong, Song Renzong. During the national mourning period, the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, the Jurchen Wanyan Alliance Chief Wanyan Qilibo and his son Wanyan Wuyashu, Wanyan Aguda, the Dali Emperor Duan Silian and his son Duan Lianyi, the chiefs of the Tubo tribes, and the Xixia King Li Liangzuo went to express his condolences in person.
Although many people here were once enemies of the Song Dynasty and may be enemies of the Song Dynasty in the future, there is no dispute that Zhao Zhen was a good emperor. Yelu Hongji even personally supported Zhao Zhen and cried. That's like mourning an heir.
Brother Zhang and Zhao Rong were naturally present. Zhao Rong's mood was not very stable. After all, the father who doted on her the most was gone. Brother Zhang seemed relatively calm because he actually didn't have much concept of life and death.
After the national mourning was over, Zhao Xu naturally took charge.
Logically speaking, it is normal to have one emperor and one courtier. However, Zhao Xu was different. He retained most of the elders of the Renzong Dynasty, but only eliminated the stubborn conservatives. Sima Guang and Ouyang Xiu were both demoted. , Ouyang Xiu was demoted to Luzhou to be the governor, and Sima Guang went to Guangzhou to be the supervisor of the army.
The strangest thing here is Zhang Zhongpu. His official position has not increased or decreased, but his mother-in-law Quzhou has expanded westward. Now Quzhou is connected to Hangzhou in the east and EZ in the west, and connected to Suzhou in the upper part and Jianzhou in the lower part. To use a clearer term, The boundary is that the west side occupies E A, the east side occupies the location of Jiangnan Leather Factory, Zhejiang J, Ham City, and NB City. It borders Suzhou in the north, Hu Jian's Jian in the south, and directly occupies Shangrao and Nanping. After eating it, the territory of a state capital was expanded to a quarter of the entire Song Dynasty. The area was very terrifying...
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can now see that this Zhongpu has not been promoted, but his sphere of influence has expanded from one county to a quarter of the Song Dynasty. There is no need to say more about what this means, right? It's a lot. People were still waiting for the new emperor to cure this guy, but what they didn't expect was a further expansion of power.
To be honest, with this territory, there is no problem at all in granting a prince title, and this is not even in the border area, this is Gyeonggi... Gyeonggi, Gyeonggi, Gyeonggi, say important things three times.
If Zhang Zhongpu wants to become a rebel, he can completely surround Lin'an in one afternoon. When the camp from other places comes, I'm afraid he won't be rewarded by King Qin, but will be rewarded by the Zhao family or the Zhang family. The reward doesn't matter at all.
However, some people say that it is because Zhang Zhongpu is not very good and has not had a son for so many years. Without a son, he naturally has no desire to be an emperor. If one day he has a son, he may really want to become an emperor.
This saying is widely circulated, and businessmen always like to bet, so they continue to give concubines to Brother Zhang under various names. Even the palace draft cannot select so many beautiful girls, but Brother Zhang basically only spends five or six days. They were all packed up and sent to the palace.
In the end, Zhao Xu had to give him good words in the form of an imperial edict and a letter from home: "Uncle, please don't send me any more. Your body can't bear it anymore."
Brother Zhang couldn't help it. There was no use keeping such a beautiful girl, so he finally had to throw all these beautiful sisters to Zhao Rong, and the world's first medical school was born...
And just like that, time passed for another five years.
Fourteen years have passed now, and Brother Zhang is in his thirties, but he still has no children, which basically confirms the rumors that he is in poor health.
Last year, Yelu Hongji also passed away. The cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure, so Xiao Jun hurriedly returned to China to succeed him. At this time, Xiao Jun was already a senior engineer of the Song Dynasty Shipbuilding Industry and a key technician. When he left, he was very reluctant to leave. He clearly wanted to mourn his father and inherit the throne, but he delayed it for two days and handed over all the work at hand to his apprentice. Only then was he willing to leave the shipping business that he had always wanted to do.
Less than two months after he returned, the Liao Kingdom's First Ship Machinery Factory officially started construction, and he did a very unorthodox thing, which was to poach a lot of technicians and technicians from here. He was a skilled worker, but Brother Zhang was not angry. He just wrote to him and asked him to move the ship closer to the north.
Xiao Jun couldn't do anything else and was obedient first, so he directly opened the Liao Kingdom's shipyard in Liaodong County, which is the legendary Dalian... where there are one dock and five ships.
The First Shipyard of the Song Dynasty moved as a whole from Ningbo to the northeast of Hangzhou, opened a separate line and changed its name to Jiangnan Shipbuilding.
The third five years passed quietly like this, a lot of things happened, and it was a bit hard to let go.
As for the beginning of the fourth five years, a major opportunity appeared, that is, there was a big earthquake in Baga. Their country had no choice but to issue a law on maritime plunder. This was similar to privateering in the Age of Discovery at that time. The certificate is the same, it is simply that the country has legalized piracy.
For a time, coastal commerce was seriously affected, and against this background, the No. 1 ironclad ship that Brother Zhang personally hand-made, along with 75 warships of various types, finally left the port after a short period of running-in.
The product produced by Brother Zhang must be a science fiction product. People now see an armored ship as if they saw a Freedom Gundam flying in the sky in 2023. Steam power was about the same as controllable nuclear fusion for that era. The summary is this can't read.
On the second day after the ironclad ship set sail, the Liao Kingdom's fleet also dispatched. The two new emperors had a long history of internal vindictiveness. Although the Liao Kingdom's ironclad ship was still under construction, Zhao Xu had already gone to sea, and Xiao Jun was still Can you bear it? Besides, you still need an armored ship to be a little Baga? Even the fleets of Baga were crushed by them.
In this way, one from above and the other from below, Baga was surrounded from both sides, and the Black Ship incident was advanced eight hundred years.
What I brought with me this time should be civilization.
