The courtiers were extremely jealous of the rewards Lu Daolong received. He was just a small official, and when he had nothing to do, he could actually get a chance to improve by tinkering with those strange skills. He even skipped the grinding. This also made the civil servants

How to live?

Many courtiers were whispering in the Daqing Palace. Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and said: "Why are you whispering? Can't even the winged hat hinder your communication?!"

The hall immediately fell silent. As soon as the remonstrator at the Yushitai was about to go out to remonstrate, Zhao Zhen stopped him and said, "Do you all think it is inappropriate for me to promote Lu Daolong in this way? I don't think he is an official with a background in Gewu."

, Observing things is his duty, so of course he should be rewarded for his achievements. What’s wrong with that? Moreover, I promoted him within the scope of Observing things. Isn’t that what the supervisor will do? Purple clothes and goldfish bags.

It's just a reward, I didn't improve his virtual title, he is still a Chaosan doctor from the fifth rank, the thirteenth rank of civil servants."

Although the virtual title has no real mission, it is still an indelible honor in the hearts of civil servants. Since the official family has not promoted Lu Daolong's virtual title, there is nothing to say. After thinking about it, the civil servants at the Yushitai shook their heads at each other and gave up.

The plan to remonstrate.

There is no need to get serious with the officials just because they are a small official who is investigating things. After all, the officials are very concerned about the investigation of things, and the courtiers have also benefited from the convenience brought by the investigation.

At this time, Fan Zhongyan frowned. After hearing Lu Daolong's speech, he felt a bolt of lightning flash through his mind, and a bold idea appeared in his mind. Fan Zhongyan's biggest advantage compared to other courtiers was

That is to say, he does not exclude Gewu, and all theories are useful to him.

Learning from the best of hundreds of schools of thought was his academic attitude, so historically he had the idea of ​​reform and put it into practice.

"Your Majesty, I feel that Da Zhang Chao plays an important role in the road administration of the Song Dynasty!"

Fan Zhongyan's departure surprised many people. Everyone was a civil servant who took the imperial examination. Why did you, Fan Zhongyan, only mention Lu Daolong?

Facing the puzzled looks of everyone, Fan Zhongyan said: "Dazhang carts have the function of recording and guiding, and they can carry a lot of people. In this way, can we mass-produce Dazhang carts in the name of the Highway Administration and put them into the city or travel to and from the city?"

On the highway? This will not only facilitate the people, but also recover the cost of the highway faster, which is a huge benefit without any harm!"

Zhao Zhen looked at Fan Zhongyan with the corner of his mouth twitching. Is this kid from a later generation? He actually came up with the idea of ​​public transportation. This is indeed a clever plan, comparable to the buses of later generations. In ancient times, this was a good plan to benefit the country and the people!

"What Fan Qing's family said is reasonable. After the dynasty is over, you and Lu Daolong will discuss it, draw up the charter, and submit it as a memorandum!"

"I obey the decree!"

The meeting ended with Sancai's sharp voice, and Zhao Zhen walked on the royal road and thought to himself.

The construction of highways will inevitably lead to public transportation, but Zhao Zhen did not expect that Fan Zhongyan's mind would turn so quickly, and he would immediately connect Dazhang cars with highways. Indeed, people in the city go to car dealerships to call for taxis every day when traveling.

Yes, people in small groups carpool to and from the city. This is nothing new. Fan Zhongyan is standardizing public transportation. Should we delegate power to him and establish a Song Dynasty transportation department?

Transportation is a very important economic lifeline for the Song Dynasty today. The water transportation that extends in all directions can no longer meet the needs of the Song Dynasty. Road transportation is imperative. If steel, coal and grid materials are vigorously developed, Zhao Zhen feels that it will be promoted in the Song Dynasty.

Simple steam trains are also possible.

The principle of a steam train is not complicated. Its engine is actually a coal-fired steam boiler. The combustion of coal turns water into high-pressure and high-temperature steam. The steam is sprayed into the engine cylinder to push the piston. The piston drives other machinery to make the wheels move forward.

Can.

According to the current industrial level of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen feels that the emergence of steam trains is only a matter of time, not to mention that they can be replaced with the stupidest method first, horse-drawn trains...

The seemingly absurd horse-drawn train is relative to the times. Locomotives had already appeared in the late Qing Dynasty. It was obviously a joke to use horse-drawn trains at this time. However, it was different in the Song Dynasty. In this era, there were no such advanced steam engines.

It is reasonable to use horse-drawn locomotives.

The national power of the Song Dynasty is booming. After Cai Boqi returns from the Japanese country, the passage of trade routes will surely find a new outlet for domestic factories with overproduction. Today, the silk, ready-made clothes, cotton clothes, porcelain, and daily necessities of the Song Dynasty are deeply loved by foreign countries.

Like, even a pair of children's tiger-head shoes can be exchanged for local specialties.

The Song Dynasty did not have a closed-door policy. All ports set up tax collection checkpoints. Instead of preventing merchants from going to sea, the court encouraged them. Paying taxes would get more help from the court, and they could even hire naval escorts!

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 highways, navigation, or the upcoming railways, in Zhao Zhen's eyes, they are all transportation tools of the Song Dynasty. They can transport grain and commodities, and they can also transport weapons and armor soldiers!

The more developed the transportation network of the Song Dynasty was, it was an excellent means of disaster relief and border guarding. This meant that the materials and soldiers of the imperial court could arrive at the disaster area as quickly as possible for disaster relief, and they could also attack the enemy with lightning speed.

Before it can be reflected, a large number of troops are sent to the battlefield.

These two points alone were enough for Zhao Zhen to pursue it at all costs.

The development of transportation has also promoted the prosperity of commerce. It is almost a known fact in later generations that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. The rapid transaction of goods allows the rapid return of funds, reducing transportation expenses, etc. All of this is in

Lay the foundation for business prosperity.

Zhao Zhen firmly believes that a country with prosperous commerce and strong national power can crush other countries in many fields such as military, science and technology, education, etc. This kind of crushing is especially obvious between nomadic people and agricultural people. At the same time, a small country with a small population will never be

A huge opponent of the Central Plains dynasty.

Thousands of miles away on another sea, Cai Boyi was confirming Zhao Zhen's point of view.

The merchant ships of the Song Dynasty rammed directly into the Japanese ships. Amidst the desperate screams of the Japanese, a tooth-breaking creaking sound was heard, and the Japanese ships were broken in half...

It is said to be a merchant ship, but it is actually a warship. Whose merchant ship has its own metal charging horn and eight-oxen crossbow?

The front of Cai Bo's official uniform was lifted up, and the hem wetted by the sea water was covered in his belt like a rag. The official hat on his head had been replaced by a triangle scarf. He looked like a standard sailor, but he was holding a handkerchief.

The bright red flag was waved while shouting: "The navy of the Song Dynasty will not leave any survivors alive in the first battle, and the blood of the Japanese will be sacrificed to the heroic souls of our soldiers!"

The Forbidden Army's crossbows mercilessly killed the Japanese who tried to climb onto the ship. Even if they dropped their weapons in a hurry, the result was the same. They could only helplessly scramble for pieces of the ship, hoping that someone would rescue them.
