Chapter 352: The First Battle of the Water Army
The courtiers were very jealous of the reward they received with Lu Daolong, just a small Gewu official, and when they had nothing to do, they could actually get the opportunity to be promoted by tinkering with those strange skills and tricks, and even the investigation and grinding were omitted, so how could the civil officials live?
Many courtiers whispered in the Daqing Palace, and Zhao Zhen smiled slightly: "Why are the Qings whispering? Can't the winged caps hinder your communication?! ”
The hall immediately fell silent, and the ministers of the Imperial Historical Observatory were just about to go out of class to admonish when they were blocked by Zhao Zhen: "All the princes think that it is inappropriate for me to promote Lu Daolong like this, right?" I don't think that he is an official from Gewu, and Gewu is his business, so of course he should be rewarded with achievements? Moreover, I promoted him within the scope of Gewu, and what I will do as a prisoner is not the thing of Gewu? The purple clothes and goldfish bag are just rewards, I didn't raise his false title, he is still from the fifth grade, the thirteenth rank of civil officials. ”
Although there is no real dispatch of the false title, it is still an indelible honor in the hearts of the civil ministers, since the official family has not promoted Lu Daolong's false title, there is nothing to say, the civil officials of the imperial history platform shook their heads at each other after thinking about it, and gave up the plan to admonish.
There is no need to be serious with the official family because of a petty official, after all, the official family cares about the object very much, and the courtiers are more or less affected by the convenience brought by the object.
At this time, Fan Zhongyan frowned, after hearing Lu Daolong's big chariot, he felt a lightning bolt pass through his mind, and a bold idea appeared in his mind, Fan Zhongyan's biggest advantage compared to other courtiers was that he did not reject Gewu, and all doctrines were useful to him.
This is his academic attitude to learn from the strengths of a hundred schools, so he will have the idea of reform in history and put it into practice.
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that the Dazhang car has an important role for my Song Dynasty Road Administration!"
Fan Zhongyan's appearance surprised many people, everyone is a civil official who entered the imperial examination, why did you Fan Zhongyan only mention Lu Daolong?
Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Fan Zhongyan said: "Dazhang cars have the function of memorization and guides, and carry a lot of people, so can we produce Dazhang cars in large quantities in the name of the Highway Administration Yuan, and put them into the city or on the highway?" In this way, it is not only convenient for the people but also to recover the cost of the highway faster, which is beneficial and harmless! ”
The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth twitched and looked at Fan Zhongyan, is this kid a descendant? It is indeed a clever plan to be able to put forward the idea of public transportation, which is comparable to the buses of later generations, and this is a good plan for the benefit of the country and the people in ancient times!
"What Fan Qingjia said is reasonable, after the dissolution of the Great Dynasty, you and Lu Daolong will discuss it, and after drafting the charter, submit it to the song!"
"Obey the order!"
The Great Dynasty will end in Sancai's sharp voice, and Zhao Zhen walked on the royal road and thought to himself.
The construction of the highway will inevitably lead to public transportation, but Zhao Zhen didn't expect Fan Zhongyan's brain to turn so fast, and he immediately linked the Dazhang car with the highway.
Transportation is a very important economic lifeline for today's Great Song Dynasty, the transportation in all directions can no longer meet the needs of the Great Song Dynasty, road transportation is imperative, if the vigorous development of steel, coal and Gewu, Zhao Zhen feels that it is feasible to promote simple steam trains in the Great Song Dynasty.
The principle of the steam train is not complicated, its engine is actually a coal-fired steam boiler, through the combustion of coal to turn water into high-pressure and high-temperature steam, the steam is sprayed in the engine cylinder to push the piston, and the piston can make the wheels move forward by driving other machinery.
According to the current industrial level of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen felt that the emergence of steam trains was only a matter of time, not to mention that it could be replaced by the stupidest method, horse-drawn trains......
The seemingly absurd horse-drawn train is relative to the times, the locomotive has appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, and it is obviously a joke to use the horse-drawn train at this time, but it is different in the Great Song Dynasty, there is not such an advanced steam engine locomotive in this era, and it is reasonable to use horse-drawn.
The national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is thriving, and after Cai Boli comes back from the Wa Kingdom, the passage of the trade route will definitely be able to find a new way out for the domestic overproduction factories, and now the silk, ready-to-wear, cotton clothes, porcelain, including daily necessities are deeply loved by Fanbang, even a pair of children's tiger head shoes can be exchanged for local specialties.
The Great Song Dynasty did not have a policy of closing the country to the outside world, all ports set up checkpoints for collecting taxes, and the imperial court not only did not prevent merchants from going to sea, but encouraged them to pay taxes to get more help from the imperial court, and they could even hire sailors to escort them!
With such strong support, not only is the phenomenon of smuggling becoming less and less, but even shipbuilding technology is advancing by leaps and bounds!
Whether it is a road, navigation, or a railway, in Zhao Zhen's eyes, it is the means of transportation of the Great Song Dynasty, which can transport grain, goods, weapons, armor and soldiers!
The more developed the transportation network of the Great Song Dynasty, the better the means of dealing with disaster relief and garrisoning, which meant that the materials and soldiers of the imperial court could arrive at the disaster area as quickly as possible, and they could also send a large number of troops to the battlefield with lightning speed when the enemy had not yet reflected.
These two points alone are enough for Zhao Zhen to implement it at all costs.
The development of transportation also promoted the prosperity of commerce, if you want to get rich first build roads, this is almost a well-known fact in later generations, the rapid transaction of goods makes the rapid return of funds, reduce the cost of transportation, etc., all of which are laying the foundation for the prosperity of commerce.
Zhao Zhen was convinced that a prosperous and powerful country could crush other countries in many fields such as military, science and technology, education, etc., especially between nomads and farming peoples, and at the same time, small countries and widows would never be the opponents of the huge Central Plains Dynasty.
On another sea thousands of miles away, Cai Boyu is confirming Zhao Zhen's view.
The merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty crashed straight into the sea ships of the Japanese Kingdom, and in the desperate screams of the Japanese people, a tooth-aching squeak sounded, and the Japanese sea ships were stopped and broken......
It is said that it is a merchant ship, but in fact it is a warship, whose merchant ship has its own metal angle of attack and eight-bull crossbow?
The placket of Cai Boyu's official uniform was lifted, the hem wet by the sea water was hidden on the belt like rags, and the official hat on his head had been replaced by a triangular scarf, a standard sailor's dress, but he was holding a bright red flag in his hand, waving and shouting: "The first battle of the Great Song Dynasty Navy will not leave a living mouth, and sacrifice the souls of my soldiers with the blood of the Japanese people!" ”
The forbidden army's crossbow arrows mercilessly killed the Japanese who tried to climb the sea ship, even if they hurriedly dropped their weapons to the same result, and could only helplessly scramble for the fragments of the sea ship in the hope that someone would rescue them.
Xia Zhu stood on the high bridge and spat disdainfully: "Mantis arm blocking the car, Yelang is arrogant!" ”
