Chapter 1070 Engineers and Officials
Zhao Xu swears that for the first time he thought his father was pretty good, at least he was much better than that master, and compared with the palace, he was in dire straits, with tigers and wolves looking around... That's right, although there are no tigers or wolves, there are bears!
Many people would feel cute when Gengbeng sat there gnawing radishes, but Zhao Xu was so scared that his hair stood up. The sound of this guy biting radishes was like biting a bone, crispy!
Zhao Xu even felt that this guy would rush over at any time and eat him, just like a carrot! Fortunately, Gunguen didn't know how to read the mind, otherwise he would be sure to laugh to death when he knew Zhao Xu looked like this.
The Xiong family is a good baby and never eats raw meat. Although the Xiong family has sharp teeth, they can eat enough by being cute, so why bother!
As for those two dogs, they are purely seeking death!
You should know when I was a child, Genggu was still a small dumpling, how big the shadow did the dogs cause? The Xiong family just took revenge, just right!
Don't worry, the Xiong family will just eat carrots in the future...
Zhao Xu didn't know this, he was eager to leave this ghost place.
The little guy was so energetic that he actually started to recite the silly voice.
"The cold rain flows into Wu at night, and Pingming sees off the lonely people of Chu Mountain. As if relatives and friends in Luoyang ask each other, a piece of ice heart is in the jade pot."
Zhao Shu became happier the more he heard it. He laughed so hard that he hurriedly asked, "What's behind?"
Zhao Xu blinked and thought hard, "The autumn sea in the south of Danyang City, Danyang City..." The little guy couldn't bear it, and tears came out of fear.
Zhao Shu had no intention of blame. There were two songs sent to Xin Jian on Furong Tower. In comparison, the first song was more widely circulated. He cleared his throat and continued to recite: "...The clouds in the north of Danyang City are deep. You can't get drunk when you see guests off at a high building. The heart of the moon in the cold river is quiet."
After reading the poem, Zhao Shu even sighed: "Son of the emperor, this poem is very interesting. The cold rain fell on Wu at night. The next day I saw the guests and looked at Mount Chu. There were two countries, Wu and Chu, all of which were one of the nations in the Spring and Autumn Period, and they were both powerful for a while... Wang Changling said goodbye to the guests at the place where Wu and Chu were separated. There was a Guancheng called Zhaoguan. Just under the current Runzhou rule, there was another play that told me that during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Wu Zixu who fled from Chu to Wu in order to pass Zhaoguan, and turned white overnight..."
Zhao Shu said softly... He remembered his father Zhao Zhen. At that time, he was less than ten years old and was not much older than Zhao Xu. His father pulled himself, telling a story from a poem, and talking about the rise and fall of a dynasty. He listened intimately and interestingly, and reasonablely... Zhao Shu had a period of time when he liked to ask the master about the history he told his father, and then asked the father about the things he told him.
It was a completely different routine for the two of them to talk about things. At first, Zhao Shu was confused, but after understanding it a lot, he understood that there was no complete right or wrong in this life, he just looked at the problem from a different perspective...
"Son of the emperor, it doesn't matter how much others can teach you, what matters is how much you can learn... When the father destroyed Tianzhu this time, I will take you to Runzhou and Jiangnan to see you. We will also go to Furong Tower and climb to see the distance... The former Wu and Chu countries were both territory of the Song Dynasty, and there were more countries that would be included in the territory of the Song Dynasty... The father will make you a great world, do you think it's okay?"
Zhao Shu ignored the little guy's thoughts, just pretended that he agreed, and happily left the royal palace and embarked on a journey... In fact, in the heart of the little Zhao Xu, Wu Chu and the world are not as good as leaving the tiger's den. How can you live this life?
...
Not to mention Zhao Xu's entanglement, Zhao Shu was full of energy.
He did not bring too many men, only 25,000 people. He set out from Xijing, passed the railway, and arrived at the Western Regions. Wen Jifu was already prepared in his hometown of Seljuk.
He gathered 200,000 civilians, hoarded 500,000 stones of grain, 300,000 mules and horses, and a large number of military supplies and weapons, and transported them from the Song Dynasty.
It is worth mentioning that if we count a thousand years forward and five hundred years backward, the Central Asian Plain is the battlefield for the decisive battle of nomadic peoples. Once defeated, we will flee south, enter India, and rage.
Once you win, you will also enter India and rob it again.
In short, India is a pitiful life for thousands of years. Anyone can do anything, and India is not good at building a city. It doesn’t even have the ability to build a city. Whoever comes will kneel down.
Anyway, they all think it doesn’t matter if you bully me in this life. I will bully you when I become rich in the next life. So, who is the real one is clear at a glance.
The various tribes of Seljuk know India even more than the Song Dynasty, so when the Song Dynasty was about to start a war, these guys seemed to smell bloody sharks.
There is no need to pay the Song Dynasty or mobilize the Song Dynasty. They all bring their own dry food, take scimitars, cross the war horses, and prepare to follow the army and make a fortune.
Zhao Shu had no rejection of this group of people.
After all, India is too big and there are too many people. Just relying on the Song Dynasty to fight little by little, it will take a moment to put everyone in and cause chaos in the world so that the chaos will not be resolved!
Zhao Shu decisively issued an order, and anyone who could pull 500 troops into India would be granted the position of commander, 1,000 people would be granted the commander, 2,000 people would be granted the commander... After conquering India, he would still be able to enfeoff land slaves according to the size of the merits.
Moreover, relying on military achievements, we can also obtain the arms support of the Song Dynasty and master trade privileges...
This technique was ruined by Wang Ning'an, but it was still very novel in this unfamiliar land.
Those tribes were inspired and were so intoxicated... They praised Zhao Shu, saying that he was the wisest emperor, the king of kings, the master of the world, the sun in the sky... In short, they were all stingy flatteries.
In this way, Zhao Shu got 100,000 advance troops in a short time, and went south to the plains along the mountain pass... Almost at the same time, the merchant armed forces of the Song Dynasty also launched an attack from the coastline.
The Song Dynasty had begun to gradually abolition slaves. Regardless of whether it was true or false, the factories and plantations that were mainly slaves were anxious. They offered three times the price in the past to buy slaves.
The merchant calculated that the cost of capturing slaves from Tianzhu and transporting them to Quanzhou was up to 30 yuan, while a young and strong slave could be sold for 200 yuan. As for the skillful and skillful female slaves, who could raise silkworms and silk, and weaving cloth, there were also 180 yuan.
Crazy profits made all the merchants go crazy.
They urgently need the franchise of slaves, and if they want to get the franchise, they must perform well and cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor to conquer India!
This is an unprecedented conquest.
Zhao Shu only dispatched 25,000 people, but the number of people following him exceeded 200,000. What’s more interesting is that some of the national families in India also defected to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
There were more and more people, like snowballing. In the end, it was a sank!
The thousands of years of Indian society was completely destroyed. This chaos caused India to lose more than 30% of its population, and more people were trafficked into slavery.
The flesh and blood of these people and the wealth of Tianzhu nourished the industrial system of the Song Dynasty.
In the next 20 years, the Song Dynasty basically completed the construction of the railway network. More importantly, some scientists discovered electricity and developed internal combustion engines. The second round of industrial revolution was quickly promoted in the Central Plains...
Of course, these are still a story. Compared with the emperor who is keen on expanding territory, the ministers are more concerned about the dispute over the political affairs hall next year. Who can become the prime minister has attracted much attention.
Although the court did not disclose much information, we can also see some clues from some clues.
For example, Wang Ning'an returned to Beijing again to be responsible for teaching the prince. The Pingzhang incident in Liaodong Province he left behind seemed particularly eye-catching.
Liaodong Province is very eye-catching now.
First of all, Liaodong Province is large enough to include not only the original Youzhou and Yunzhou, but also more than half of the Khitan land, which can extend northward to the Arctic Ocean...
In the past, people thought this was a bitter and cold place, and there was no oil or water.
But since most of the railway has been built, the iron ore and coal mines in Liaodong have been discovered one after another, and there are so many wood and vast black soil that just happen to plant crops. In addition, some people have discovered gold mines, and millions of people have dreams of rushing gold.
Adding up all the conditions, Liaodong Province is already a hot commodity. Whoever can take over Pingzhangshi will definitely have the opportunity to enter the Political Affairs Hall and the Sixth Ministry in the future.
For this position, all parties are at strife.
On the side of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhang Dun insisted on promoting the governor Cai Jing.
"Although Cai Jing is young and has little experience, he has been in Liaodong for many years and has worked all the way from an ordinary clerk. His political achievements are outstanding and obvious to all. It is natural to let him take office as a Pingzhang!"
"This..." Dali Temple Minister Feng Jing spoke.
"Zhang Tianguan, it is reasonable to say that the Ministry of Personnel elected the candidate, our Dali Temple should not say anything, but I think this Cai Jing is not suitable."
"What's the reason?" Zhang Dun raised his voice, obviously unhappy.
Feng Jing was not afraid, but said in a deep voice: "It's very simple, he was not from a Jinshi!"
"This, what's the reason!" Zhang Dun said angrily: "Now the court has opened a scholarship, and most of the local officials are from scholarship. Cai Jing not only comes from scholarship, but also the first group of engineers to get... His knowledge is absolutely fine!"
At this time, Jia Zhang smiled and said, "Prince Zhang Tian, look at it. Are there people from scholars in the court now?"
"Not now does not mean that there will be no future! The scholarship has only been in operation for a few years, so how can someone become a slaughter? But I firmly believe that sooner or later, there will be scholarship talents entering the Sixth Department and even the Political Affairs Hall!" Zhang Dun's voice was loud.
"Then according to Zhang Tianguan's intention, can the Jinshi exam be abolished?" Feng Jing asked with anger.
Zhang Dun smiled contemptuously, "Whether to abolish or not is the business of a saint, but to be honest, the imperial examination did not start from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and there were many changes in the middle. Abolishing the Jinshi exam and turning to the scholar exam is also a kind of imperial examination. What do you think?"
His eyes swept over and several people, such as Zeng Bu and Su Che, expressed their agreement and nodded slightly. Only Sima Guang, he coughed.
"Since you are a recommended candidate, you can't designate a person. You have to see if you don't have a better one yet!"
