Chapter 309: Republic (19)

"Can't you think about it again?"

"We've had several meetings about this."

"There's no way around it?"

"The elevation of each point has been sideways, and the geological conditions have been measured in detail, which is really not good."

…… There is an exchange between the science and technology men who are engaged in politics and the science and engineering men who are engaged in the profession, and the pressure makes the science and engineering men who are engaged in the profession have to come up with some more lyrical statements, "Kaifeng City is layer by layer, and the Daliang City of the Warring States Period is more than ten meters underground in Kaifeng City." If it worked, we wouldn't have chosen Zheng County anyway. ”

"Zheng County didn't sink?" Zhao Qian was very unhappy.

"The city wall built in the Shang Dynasty in Zheng County is still very intact." The director of the railway bureau replied.

Zhao Qian was speechless. Determining the actual dynasty of the old city wall site in Zheng County is a major event in the archaeological field of the Great Song Dynasty, and its sensational degree is no less than the discovery of the Qin Jian in the Sleeping Tiger Land and the nearby Mu Shu family book from the Qin period. In cooperation with the excavation of the oracle bone inscriptions in Anyang and Chaoge, the archaeological community of the Great Song Dynasty specially established the Yuxia Shang and Zhou dynasties project.

Questioning the geological instability of an area where the walls of the Shang Dynasty were still intact, Zhao Qian could not say such a thing anyway. Zhao Qian made a final effort, "Have the officials read the report?" ”

"It's been delivered." The Commissioner replied bluntly.

Zhao Qian sighed and ended the meeting. Some things don't work, and Daddy never lets politics override the laws of physics. After browsing the information of the Ministry of Railways, Zhao Qian had no other thoughts. The geographical situation of Kaifeng is not suitable for a railway hub, just as the director of the division commented on the hub, in case the bridge is broken for a few months, the railway system does not need to live.

At the end of the report, the content of the newly started railway was attached, and the railway from Kaifeng to Luoyang had been repaired, and the railway from Zhengxian to the south had also been repaired. After reading the report, Zhao Qian continued with other reports, and the report of the Ministry of Civil Affairs suggested that Zheng County, the future railway hub of the Great Song Dynasty, be upgraded to Zhengzhou. Zhao Qian looked at the railway map and felt that the gang from the Ministry of Civil Affairs reacted really quickly. The north-south railway from Youzhou to Hankou and the east-west railway from Haizhou (Lianyungang) to Luoyang intersect in Zheng County, which is located more than 100 miles west of Kaifeng and is also the hub of the Central Plains. The core of the future of a Great Song Dynasty is a county, which is indeed not suitable. It is also appropriate to be promoted to the state capital.

Looking at the map, some of the places the railway goes to are famous state capitals, while others are very ordinary. Zheng County is a special case, but will other counties along the railway also see such dramatic changes? This made Zhao Qian a little concerned.

In such a seemingly peaceful situation, 338 years passed in the Great Song Dynasty, and 339 years came. As soon as New Year's Day passed, Zhao Ruoshui came to Zhao Qian, "Big brother, our father and mother will be 60th birthday next year." You've got to get ready. ”

Although there is still more than a year to go, Zhao Qian does not feel that this idea is too advanced. The emperor and empress of the Great Song Dynasty both have 60 birthdays, and the 340th year of the Great Song Dynasty is the National Day of the 10th year of the Great Song Dynasty. Looking at Zhao Qian's embarrassed expression, Zhao Ruoshui said helplessly: "Big brother, don't think about it, I know our father's temperament, shouldn't we, as children, celebrate our parents?" Besides, this is also the 40th year since our father and mother first met. You're stupid! ”

Zhao Qian really forgot that next year is the 40th anniversary of his father's marriage, so Zhao Qian suddenly felt envious. Without waiting for Zhao Qian to speak, Zhao Ruoshui said, "What? You're envious again. ”

Since I was a child, I can be seen through by my sister, and I am used to it. Zhao Qian sighed: "It's been forty years, and I'm almost forty." ”

"So we've got to get ready." Zhao Ruoshui still grasps the theme.

"What are we going to give?" Zhao Qian still missed the point. Daddy promulgated the law, public servants give gifts to each other is an illegal and criminal act, public servants have regulations on weddings and funerals, and it is illegal to exceed the prescribed scope. As the highest public servant of the Great Song Dynasty, it is illegal to act on a large scale. With Dad's temperament, whoever dares to fool around will definitely be unlucky.

"Big brother, you use your brain." Zhao Ruoshui was almost speechless, "I didn't let you send anything, wouldn't it be good if you prepared a show for your father." There are performances on National Day, and in the performances, let people talk about these things and congratulate them, which does not violate the laws and regulations at all. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it! Zhao Qian suddenly realized and praised again and again.

Seeing that the elm brain melon of the eldest brother finally opened up, Zhao Ruoshui continued: "Big brother, these programs can't be found casually, and there are not many preparations to make a year in advance. In addition, can we get Eastern and Western Rome, the Japanese kingdom, and Goryeo to prepare performances? ”

"Good! Okay very! Zhao Qian felt that his sister was worthy of being the most favored one in the family, and this decency was far inferior to Zhao Qian.

At the suggestion of his sister, Zhao Qian invited the Ministry of Culture and the Propaganda Department, and the two ministers immediately applauded when they heard it. The Minister of Culture praised: "It is a great thing that the official family and the saint have been in love with each other for 40 years. We've got to get the word out. Offset the current increase in divorce rates. ”

"Hey, you can't talk nonsense!" Zhao Qian was shocked. The Great Song Dynasty was originally very civilized in terms of marriage, and all kinds of divorce were protected by law. The Marriage Law is a law to which the government attaches great importance, and it defines the legal nature of marriage and the responsibilities and obligations of both spouses, especially the ownership of property. This led to a rapid increase in the divorce rate in the city, which was greatly displeased by many old-school figures.

Zhao Qian knows his father's temperament very well, and whoever dares to use this to attack the power granted by the Marriage Law will definitely be greatly unhappy. But to Zhao Qian's surprise, the ministers were very firm and did not have the slightest intention of making sycophants. This made Zhao Qian very puzzled, and after talking, he was puzzled, and when he returned home, he was seen through by his wife again. Xiao Meimei asked, "What kind of gossip do you encounter that you don't understand?" ”

"You can see that?" Zhao Qian was depressed.

Xiao Meimei smiled, but did not explain. She and Zhao Qian's family get along well, and she understands a lot of the meaning of Zhao Qian's expression from her sister-in-law Zhao Ruoshui. Zhao Qian has become less and less embarrassed because of official duties over the years, which is very different from the days when he often frowned when he first got married. What made Zhao Qian completely confused must be some idle matter. Seeing that Zhao Qian was still quite confused, Xiao Meimei asked, "What's going on?" ”

Zhao Qian said the incomprehensible things, and after finishing speaking, seeing that his wife was thoughtful, Zhao Qian hurriedly added: "I don't support divorce, but I have heard some things, and if you can't get together, you have to be forced to live together, and it will really kill you." ”

Xiao Meimei didn't care about Zhao Qian's words at all, she said slowly while thinking: "The Minister of Culture is ...... Oh, I remembered. ”

"Remember?" Zhao Qian was a little surprised.

"That's right, it's him. The daughter of the Minister of Culture is divorced. Xiao Meimei talked about the family affairs of the Minister of Culture, "His daughter must be divorced, which makes the Minister of Culture angry." His daughter is from the Ministry of Telecommunications, and the Minister of Culture shouted that she should not go home if she divorced, and her daughter moved directly to the house built by the Ministry of Telecommunications. ”

Zhao Qian didn't know about these family matters, and only then did he understand some of the reasons behind the resolute attitude of the Minister of Culture. To this, he could only sigh. Daddy is a powerful man, a true moral man, and he never demands others from the height of morality. The military, officials, and cadres must have a higher moral level, and that is what is written in the system. Dad talks about law and system, and he has also spoken publicly many times about opposing moral kidnapping.

It is precisely because Daddy personally insists on never singing high-pitched and not making demands that go beyond reality, that officials have their own moral views and will not compromise easily. It seems that this time it was a hornet's nest.

Zhao Qian's uneasiness was his personal matter, and the officials of various ministries had long wanted to celebrate the 60th birthday of Zhao Guan's family, and at this time, there was a way not to break the law, and everyone quickly began to prepare without informing Zhao Guan's family. Yang Congrong had already returned to the Great Song Dynasty from the Eastern Mediterranean, and he had originally discussed the battle situation from the Eastern Mediterranean to the northern part of Tianzhu with Luo Yiren of the Li Domain, but he immediately came to his senses after hearing this.

The two of them revered the Zhao Guanjia from the bottom of their hearts, and Yang calmly praised: "The prince is really smart, and this matter must be prepared for more than a year." ”

Luo Yiren also agreed, "It will take more than a year on my side, and dozens of vassal states will have to be notified. You also have to screen the shows they want to perform. ”

Putting down their errands, the two convened a joint meeting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Governors, and everyone brainstormed and set a standard, and then asked the people in the ministry to choose the person who was specifically responsible for this matter. It took a day before the two of them continued what they had discussed. Luo Yiren had already laughed at the Slave Dynasty before, and at this time he laughed again, "They are really religious, the emperor of the Slave Dynasty personally went to the Holy Land to establish a communication line to the Holy Land. If they have this skill, it is better to send someone to the Great Song Dynasty to meet us first, and ask us to recognize what the slave dynasty has obtained. ”

Yang calmly felt that the word piety was used very well, and it could be seen that the emperor of the slave dynasty had far more faith in the True God Cult than in the knowledge of the real world. He asked Luo Yiren, "Do you think he is pretending not to know, or really not knowing?" ”

Luo Yiren replied: "I have sent people to investigate, and the officials of the slave dynasty believe that the earth is a plane in their scriptures. ”

Poof! Yang laughed calmly. Luo Yiren's answers are often so funny, but they are to the point. It is established that the earth is round, that the moon revolves around the earth, and that the earth-moon system revolves around the sun. With such a theoretical foundation, the Great Song Dynasty was able to sail thousands of miles by relying on many measuring equipment based on this clear theory. Yang Congrong is not from science and engineering, and he only has his own view of the whole world after he determined the concept that the earth is round. For those who firmly believe that the earth is flat, they cannot see things from the perspective of the whole world.

Luo Yiren didn't think it was funny, he continued: "We can look at the problem from the perspective of the entire earth, and we stand much higher than the slave dynasty. Slave dynasties cannot understand the world as we see it, and naturally cannot understand that we have to destroy them in order to achieve greater goals, and it has nothing to do with them to destroy them. ”
