The next day, the edict was sent by Kuaima to the imperial court and the two Huai prefectures and counties, and another envoy went to Haozhou with the order to deal with the criminal official Zhang Song, and escorted him to Lin'an pending trial. The fugitives from Haozhou were transferred to local custody and sent back to their places of origin after rest. The holy car did not stop for long, and set off again after dawn and continued to march towards Yingtianfu. Due to the hot weather, the length and frequency of rest had to be increased on the way, which led to a slowdown in the march, which could only be maintained at a rate of about fifty miles a day.

Although the days of the march were hard, they were also extremely boring, and Zhao Yu buried himself in compiling teaching materials every day in addition to reviewing the official documents sent to him. Last year, he had issued an edict to establish the Great Song Academy of Sciences, and widely recruited skilled craftsmen from all over the world and various talents who were proficient in arithmetic, astronomy, geography and miscellaneous sciences, and prepared to establish a junior college to train engineering talents.

Zhao's purpose is to cultivate scientific and technological talents for the country and promote scientific development. However, his decisions were high and low in the government and the opposition, believing that these 'clever' studies were sideways and contrary to orthodox learning, and he was even more opposed to the examination subjects used as imperial examinations. Therefore, he has been unable to implement these learning contents included in the government school, let alone support the establishment of his own vocational school.

In fact, Zhao Yu also understood that the reason why the scholars resisted was because they were worried that once miscellaneous studies were used as a subject for official learning and as the content of the imperial examination, it would inevitably lead some people to abandon Confucianism and switch to miscellaneous studies. In this way, the study of Confucianism is not the only way to enter the bureaucracy, and then the structure of the scholars' domination of officialdom will be broken, and their power in the officialdom and the voice of the people will be weakened, and even lose their dominance in the near future.

Of course, Zhao Yu knows the reasons for the scholars' worries and boycotts, and he does have this kind of thought. Because in this country dominated by scholars, they learned the principles of the sages, read the classics and historical classics, and played the poems and songs. He thought that although these things could make national policies and improve the moral level and manage the country, they had certain advantages, but the shortcomings were just as obvious.

Because managing a country is not just rhetoric, there are many practices that need to be done. For example, the construction of water conservancy is a very important work in an agricultural society, but letting an official who can only do anything to preside over the construction is like a blind man riding a blind horse, and there is no way to start. In the same way, it is unthinkable in modern society that officials who do not know how to farm, those who do not know how to smelt to manage mines, and those who do not know the law to try cases.

But this system has existed for thousands of years in ancient times, and of course Zhao Hao does not deny that there are officials who are proficient in water conservancy, astronomy and manufacturing, otherwise China would have many magnificent buildings, many water conservancy projects and the Grand Canal across the north and south. However, there are too few such officials, and they are more often outliers or just hobbies, and they are not representative of the whole group at all.

However, due to their low status, many craftsmen and managers who were the implementers had no opportunity to enter the mainstream of society, and it was difficult for them to enter the ruling class, and even fewer had written books and legacies for them. As builders and creators of technology, craftsmen are generally not valued and have a low level of culture, and the closed nature of technology inheritance is difficult to promote, so that many inventions and creations cannot be sorted out and recorded, and inevitably disappear in the long river of history, thus hindering the progress of society and technology.

As a modern visitor, Zhao Yu understands very well that the progress of science and technology is the foundation of social progress, and also sees the changes that the improvement of technology has on the current society, especially the situation on the battlefield. Therefore, even in the face of huge resistance, he wanted to do this, and thought it was a very meaningful thing, and even felt that it was more meaningful than recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun and reviving the Great Song Dynasty, and he also showed the same stubbornness as many roads here, if you don't help me, then I will do it myself.

Zhao Yu naturally understands that he can make a leap forward in the scientific and technological level of the Great Song Dynasty in a stage, but in this social form, it can only be a flash in the pan and will disappear in the years. In order to make it able to achieve sustainable development, it is necessary to establish a system and raise a group of specialized talents, and he also knows that the cultivation of talents, especially the cultivation of scientific and technological talents, is not something that can be achieved overnight, especially in this era of 800 years ago, he must start from the most basic education.

However, in the current situation, I am afraid that only Zhao Yu himself can do it. In addition to his transcendent status, which allows him to act according to his own will, he is the only one who has modern knowledge. Therefore, there are some things that can be done by others, and the compilation of teaching materials can only be done by yourself. Therefore, during this period, almost all of his spare time was devoted to this great project that could change history.

This work is very easy to say, as long as the modern junior high school textbooks are brought to this era, they can basically become the most high-end knowledge, and doing these things with Zhao Yu's knowledge is also easy to grasp. But the difficulty is how to integrate with the present, to be able to make people accept, to be able to understand, and to believe. For example, the simplest air, which cannot be seen or touched, made it difficult for the ancients to believe that it exists, and it is necessary to make them understand that air has weight, and it is composed of dozens of other components.

Therefore, when compiling Zhao Hao, he should not simply copy, but should take into account the current people's worldview and receptivity, and express it in a language that can be understood and understood. Therefore, the work was not easy to do, and it was very energy-consuming, but it was finally successful, and he had already completed the compilation of the basic textbooks during the Northern Expedition, and is now undergoing a second proofreading, which will be sent back to Lin'an for printing after completion......

Five days after setting out from Xuzhou, news came back one after another, and after the arrival of the First Naval Division ordered to go to Haizhou, it quickly launched an encirclement and suppression of the pirates. Because most of the pirates had already landed and only a few people remained, the Great Song Dynasty naval army sank and captured more than 100 enemy ships, cutting off the pirates' retreat.

Then Dong Yicheng, the commander of the first naval army, at the same time of blockading the coast, organized sailors to go ashore to encircle and suppress the pirates who landed in Donghai County, because the pirates had lost their warships, it was difficult to evacuate and was trapped on the island, so they could only retreat to Donghai County, but their group of rabble was defeated after being bombarded by artillery, and Kaicheng fled and broke into the ambush circle of the Song army and was annihilated.

The pirates who invaded Huairen County had been driven to the beach by Song Junzhou, which had been reinforced by nearby prefectures and counties, and after finding that the sea was controlled by the Song army, they turned to try to seize civilian ships and fled north across the Song army's line of control. On the way to escape, some of the bandits were annihilated by the Song naval army that landed in the battle, and one fled into the deep sea despite the storm at sea, and the Song army did not continue the pursuit in order to avoid losses.

In this battle, most of the pirates who invaded the territory were annihilated, some of the captured property was recovered, and Dongshan County, which was occupied by the pirates, was regained. After interrogating the captured pirates, Zhao Hao's judgment was confirmed that this group of pirates was composed of the Japanese and Han Kou and the remaining 10,000 households of the grain and water army. The organizers behind the scenes were Zhu Qing and Zhang Xuan, who provided the funds and gathered the horse thieves who had wandered to Shandong, and took advantage of the Song army's concentration in the Xuzhou area, when the coastal areas were empty, to launch a surprise attack and plunder the two counties.

After reading it, Zhao Yu instructed that all the captured bandit chiefs and robbers should be beheaded for public display, and the servants would be assigned to hard labor camps. He also ordered the First Naval Division to move to Haizhou, with Dongshan County as the home port, and Dong Yicheng concurrently served as the envoy of Haizhou Town. The reason why he stationed Haizhou with the army was not only because it was on the front line of the war between the Song and Yuan dynasties, but also because Haizhou was the Lianyungang of later generations and the hub of an important maritime communication line between the north and the south, and there was no room for loss under the premise of developing maritime trade at present.

At the same time, Tian Qi, who was ordered to go to Haozhou to investigate the 'fugitive incident', also sent back the report. After his preliminary investigation, Zhizhou Zhang Song was still able to fulfill his duties after arriving in the territory, but he acted excessively and excessively in the process of cleaning up enemy funds. Because they were obstructed by some people during the liquidation operation, they used the state army to forcibly take over the land, which led to a conflict, as a result of which the land and property were confiscated, and the tenants who rented their land were affected.

Zhang Song did this, Tian Qi thought that he wanted to make an example of him by thundering means, so as to ensure that the future work was carried out, but his behavior was used by some people, deliberately distorting and creating rumors, saying that the imperial court would confiscate everyone's property, and confiscate it into the official village as a slave, and be a slave for generations. These rumors caused panic among ordinary people, and people began to flee.

After discovering this situation, Zhang Song did not issue a public announcement in time to explain and appease the people, but strictly ordered the counties to dispatch government officials and township soldiers to arrest them, and set up checkpoints along the road with the state army to intercept them. In the course of execution, the state army and the township soldiers behaved violently, resulting in casualties among the fugitives, so these actions not only failed to stop the people from fleeing, but only intensified the escape, so that it was difficult to control it.

After the situation got out of control, Zhang Song did not report it to the imperial court, but took more drastic action in private, not only confiscating all the property of the fugitives, but also strictly controlling the family members, centralized custody, and sending troops to pursue them across the border. As a result, a large number of casualties among the people were caused, various work was stagnant, and even affected the reception work of the surrounding states and counties, forming a bad impact.

After truthfully reporting the investigation, Tian Qi also made a fair evaluation of the incident, but he thought that the reason why Zhang Song had these excesses also had deep-seated reasons, which should arouse vigilance and not be ignored......
