On February 21, the third year of the Great Song Dynasty, outside the Nanxun Gate in the south of Bianliang City, the people crowded next to each other were the people who watched the excitement.

At this moment, it is probably the most glorious moment since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. It's a huge territory, or at least it looks very vast! It starts from the sea in the east, ends in the Tianshan Mountains in the west, connects the Khitan in the north, and reaches ...... in the south Well, I don't know if you go south, you have all the four seas, and you don't just occupy that little island in the south!

Just last winter, Wu Haogu had already issued an order to the Sriwijaya Military Engine Room to invade Java Island through the General Army Engine Room of the Sea Route Control Division, and I don't know how much territory of Java Island is occupied now? If there are already results, then the southern frontier of the Great Song Dynasty should be Java Island.

As the first good city of this great empire of the "Far Han and Tang Dynasties", Kaifeng Mansion has become more and more prosperous and crowded in recent years.

When Kaifeng Fucheng was founded by Yizu, there were hundreds of thousands of residents in the city, which was already a huge scale. Over the past 100 years, the number of residents of the city has long exceeded one million. And when today's son Zhao Ji sits in the world, and because of the northern grain transportation brought by Jiehe Commercial City and the great victory of the Pingxia War, the already crowded Kaifeng Mansion ushered in a peak of population gathering.

The northern grain and southern transportation can bring an additional supply of one or two million stone flour to Kaifeng Fucheng every year (at first, the southern transportation was still wheat, but now it has become processed flour), and the victory in the Battle of Hehuang and the Pingxia War brought a large number of "new Kaifeng people". A large number of Hehuang who returned to the Great Song Dynasty, the families of the Western Xia descendants, and the servants and female envoys who served those families, arrived at Kaifeng Mansion one after another. Tong Guan and Gao Yu also detained many craftsmen from Western Xia and Qingtang, and a considerable part of them were also sent to Kaifeng Mansion for resettlement.

In addition, many Western army generals also moved half of their families from Shaanxi to Kaifeng Mansion. It's a matter of attitude! Now that the Western Thieves have been pacified, the Western Army is naturally at the point where it can unload the mill and kill the donkey. Fortunately, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty still talks about the rules at the moment, and a glass of wine releases the military power! Because the Khitan has not yet been defeated, half of it will be released first.

But this half, there are quite a few people. The generals of the Western Army are also veterans of a hundred years, who is not a big family? Moreover, the master of the gate is riding on the heads of the working people to make a fortune. Everyone has to bring a large number of people to Beijing!

Another group that moved into Kaifeng Prefecture were scholars, students, and family members related to the Biyong Academy, the Qingcheng Academy, and the Infantry School.

Because the military expenditure of the imperial court in the northwest fell sharply, and at the same time, the struggle of Confucianism began to gradually intensify. Therefore, in the past two or three years, Su Zhe, Zhang Shangying and others have also spent a lot of public money on the three schools and the primary schools supporting the three schools. Many people from the Guanluo School were invited from other places, and they also tried to restore the school upgrade roadmap of "local government school, central Biyong, imperial examination and official award, and re-entry into Biyong for further study and practical learning".

Of course, if you don't enter the Biyong Academy to study "Neo-Confucianism" (science), you can also take the imperial examination, but the "winning rate" is lower.

So in recent years, the number of "new Kaifeng" people has increased a lot! There are always more than 100,000 people.

Therefore, in the past few years, the newly expanded Kaifeng Mansion New West City was quickly filled! The housing prices in Kaifeng Mansion have not fallen because of the expansion of the urban area, but have risen a lot because of a group of "high-income" people.

At this moment, in the south of Kaifeng Prefecture, where the houses gather, it is now too crowded. Enough to jaw all visitors from afar!

……

The missions from various foreign states were already standing quietly outside the Nanxun Gate, escorted by thousands of soldiers who were exemplary new army soldiers.

Because most of the missions this time were from the south overseas, they did not go to Wansheng Gate, but entered at Nanxun Gate instead, and then passed through the old Suzaku Gate, crossed the Longjin Bridge, walked the old Royal Street, from south to north, all the way to the former residence of the official family, outside the Xuande Gate of the Kaifeng Imperial City.

And Zhao Ji, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, is now taking hundreds of civil and military officials and honorable clans, on the Xuande Tower, playing all the covers in front of the emperor, waiting for these "envoys of all countries" to come forward to present gifts and honorific titles.

Such a grand event, not to mention the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is counted in the Han and Tang Dynasties, it can only be compared with Li Shimin when he is called Dengli (Tengger) Khan.

In the past, Tang Taizong Li Shimin was the overlord of the mainland, and today's Zhao Ji is the king who commands the four seas!

It seems that in the future, Tang Taizong will be called a double hero with Emperor Song Haihuang.

The whole city of Bianliang was also disturbed by this grand event. Only the characters with a little face, even if they can't go up to the Xuande Building, they are not qualified to watch the excitement outside the Xuande Gate, and they all call friends and take their subordinates to occupy the high places along the royal street from Nanxun Building to Xuande Gate. In particular, those restaurants and tea shops facing the royal street are full of customers today.

A seat with a better vision can be sold for more than a dozen dollars!

As for those ordinary people, they naturally couldn't afford to spend money, so they simply crowded next to each other on the side of the street and got together. Everyone was looking forward to seeing what the envoys who came from thousands of miles away looked like.

Ji Yi and Li Gang (he arrived in Haizhou by boat before the New Year's Festival, and then entered Beijing with the mission) were also extremely proud today. Both of them have been promoted, and they have both been promoted more and more. Ji Yi was promoted to the fifth rank of Zhongsan doctor, and he also added the cabinet position of a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion. In the future, it will be Ji Longtu!

Li Gang was given the background of Jinshi, and the official rank was directly mentioned to Xuandelang, who was ranked as a courtier, and also gave the post of Zhiji Pavilion. It's also a step to the pinnacle of life!

But what they are most proud of is not the promotion, but the fact that they have obtained the essence of Greek philosophy. Ji Yi and Li Gang were originally not big or small Confucians, and in the Song Dynasty, they were able to enter the scholars, and their Confucian attainments would not be bad.

Moreover, Song Confucianism was looking for the truth, and before Wu Haogu raised the banner of "positivism" and "rationalism", the so-called "three religions in one" was to learn scriptures from Buddhism and Taoism, and to perfect Confucianism was the mainstream way.

And now, Ji Yi and Li Gang, who have obtained Greek philosophical thoughts, seem to see a door to the peak of their studies open to them.

This is an opportunity to start a sect and become a sage!

……

On the Xuande Tower, Jun Rongzhi's drum music sounded, and a team of rows of straight people from the front of the royal class first went up to the Xuande Building, spread out left and right, and stood in their respective positions. Then there are the commanders with imperial equipment, all of whom are after some nobles, and there are also new children of the generals of the Western Army, all of whom wear armor and look quite strong. Behind them, there is an apricot yellow cover, under the cover is a chariot carried by the eight outer halls, the Great Song Dynasty official, the future Genghis Emperor Zhao Ji, at this time a dragon robe, wearing a long-winged gauze hat, sitting on the chariot, towards the peak of his life.

This emperor, who could not escape the name of the faint monarch in history, has now finally completed his historical mission - in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, China's economy cannot be said to have reached the stage of capitalism as a whole, at least in Xuzhou (Xuzhou Liguojian), Haizhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou and other industrial and commercial capitals, as well as Kaifeng Prefecture, where the financial industry is developed, the seedlings of capitalism have appeared.

The main reason why it has not been able to thrive is that traditional Chinese philosophy is stuck on "tools" and "methods", and cannot support large-scale technological innovation. Without the progress of science and technology, the seedlings of capitalism will not grow.

And Zhao Ji's strong support for Wu Haogu over the years has inadvertently pierced the window paper of philosophical restrictions.

Now that Ji Yi and Li Gang have taken the scriptures from the West that can perfectly answer the questions of the ancestors, Confucianism has been upgraded and has truly become a powerful school that can fight against Buddhism, Tianfangism, and Christianity.

The split in the positivist school that will be caused by the introduction of Greek philosophy by Ji Yi and Li Gang will not weaken the power of Confucianism's innovation, but will make Neo-Confucianism stronger. Because only by splitting can there be real speculation and promote the further development of Confucianism.

At the same time, Wu Haogu and Ji Yi's full use of the sea power of the Great Song Dynasty also made the Great Song Dynasty a world empire that ruled the sea.

Even if there were Jurchen and Mongol invasions in the future, such an empire from the mountains, forests and steppes would not be able to destroy a huge maritime empire. As long as this maritime empire is not destroyed, the positivist, rational, Tianli, and rational schools of Neo-Confucianism will continue to grow and develop.

China's fate has changed in the era when Zhao Ji was in charge.

Therefore, no matter how much Zhao Ji tosses in the second half of his life, he can't change his historical status as Genghis the Great.

Zhao Ji had already come down from the imperial chariot at this time, sat on a high throne, looked at the hundreds of thousands of people of the Great Song Dynasty crowded in the distance, his face was extremely bright, and he looked around: "It's time to start, right?" ”

By Zhao Ji's side, the closest ones are naturally Cai Jing and Zhang Shangying. Zhang Shangying was not very positive, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he was probably still worried that the "Northern Beggars Yanxi" didn't know when it would go south?

Cai Jing was not worried about the north at all, and said to Zhao Ji with a smile at the moment: "In a while, it will be the Forbidden Army Mountain, long live, the voice will spread outside the Nanxun Gate, and Ji Yi and Li Gang will lead the delegation into the city." ”

Zhao Ji nodded, and asked softly, "Are you here to serve me as the emperor with the four seas?" ”

Cai Jing smiled and said: "Yes, the envoys of various countries have prepared the table, and they will be sent to the Xuande Building in a while. ”

"Good!" Zhao Ji smiled, "The king of China, you can command all nations, it is really a rare event in the ages, and when this matter is over, I will go to Fengshan Mountain and watch the sea!" ”
