Chapter 494: The Origin of Kunming
Zhao Zhen was amused and laughed at Cai Kui’s behavior of treating the emperor as a mascot. What’s the use of finding the emperor if you can’t give birth to a son? The emperor is not giving away Guanyin!
Zhao Zhen curled his lips helplessly when he looked at Cai Kui's aggrieved look. Such a big man could not stand being so sucked like this.
"Well, I'll give you a clear path. Being able to have a baby means that your husband and wife are healthy. You can't have a boy but you have fewer times. Try more!"
Puff...ah...ahah...
A black tea spurted out from Cai Boxi's nose, causing him to cough repeatedly: "Official family...official family...holy Ming!"
This is a rare thing, and the official family actually said such funny words.
Cai Kui left happily. In his opinion, the official family must be correct. He would be more loyal to his wife after he returned home. If he could have a fat boy, he would definitely be the blessing of the official family. He would have to set up a tablet of immortality for the official family in the north and south of the house. Then the Buddha who was useless could send it away...
A warrior like Cai Kui actually served tea in Cai Boxi's mansion. Zhao Zhen turned his head and said, "Your servants in your mansion are not like this, right? I'm so jealous."
Cai Boxi smiled: "The official family is joking. It would be great if all the waiters in the humble house are like this? They have been poached by Song Xiaoyi long ago. But can the official family know how many talented people and strangers there are in the Confucius Mansion? As far as I know, there are no less than a hundred people! This is a force that cannot be underestimated."
Zhao Zhen knew what Cai Boyi meant. The so-called martial arts and martial arts worlds in the Song Dynasty actually existed. The country was so big that it could always produce some talented people. Moreover, since Taizu, the Song Dynasty has advocated the establishment of civilians to protect themselves, such as bow and archery clubs, mountains and rivers, and all kinds of various kinds, so naturally the so-called martial arts world was formed.
Some people do their business by using the slogan of heroism and justice. Scholars often work together to focus on poetry and songs, while military workers join in the association are swords, guns, sticks, sticks, axes, hooks and forks.
As more people form associations, there are naturally some talented people who are beyond ordinary people. For example, Cai Kui is one of them, and many people in Hei's hands are selected from the associations. Even Shi San was once one of them. It can be seen that the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty was still quite prosperous.
Zhao Zhen also has a small dream of martial arts in his heart!
But with the development of reality, his dream of martial arts has long been shattered. The so-called largest beggar sect in the world is just a group of rats crossing the street. They were originally hiding in the sewer of Tokyo City to do the work of thieves and prostitutes and trafficking in the work of trafficking in the population. With the destruction of Wuyou Cave, they have become a existence that everyone calls for.
Today, Tokyo City is not even many beggars, let alone beggars. Those who are healthy can naturally make a living in the factory. Even the elderly, weak, sick and disabled can get the care of Futianyuan. Now, Futianyuan has been strictly managed by Zhao Zhen and is no longer the hell on earth.
As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen was increasingly resistant to martial arts. The wealth of the rich was also created through his own hands. Why did he rob the rich? Helping the poor is also a matter of the court, so why did the warriors act without hesitation?
Therefore, in Zhao Zhen's eyes, those so-called martial arts people have become social unstable factors. They nodded and said, "I know what you mean. I will deal with this power of the Kong family. All associations in the Song Dynasty must be registered with the local prefectures, otherwise they will be regarded as rioters."
Cai Boqi bowed: "The official family is wise and the people are troubled by association. Now the official family will definitely wipe out the turbidity of the past."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Don't say these compliments. What is the situation in Yunnan? Can the craftsmen and farmers I asked you to bring to operate normally?"
Cai Boqi handed the memorial with both hands and said, "I am so proud to ask the official to take a look at it in order to draw a memorial!"
Zhao Zhen opened the memorial and said, "Tell me in detail and tell me some things that cannot be said in the memorial."
Zhao Zhen's words made Cai Boqi relieved. As expected, the officials knew him and could not explain many things clearly in the memorials submitted. It still needed to decide the officials.
Cai Boyi was a little nervous. This was his first time as the chief of the All-Road. The errand was not so easy to do. He said nervously: "I heard from the officials that the three thousand elite soldiers left by Peng Qi have built a good city for the craftsmen and the corpses. It is definitely not a problem to have these three thousand elite soldiers. Besides, Bao Zheng cooperated and implemented good strategies to take care of the people in Yunnan. The most important thing is that he can treat the people of the Han area and the foreign people of Yunnan equally."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and interrupted him, "There are many detailed descriptions in Yunnan's political affairs memorials. You can only talk about the errands I assigned to you."
Cai Boqi nodded and said, "Coffee has been planted and the best managers are responsible for taking care of it. This thing is more popular and the place in Yunnan is the most suitable. However, the farmers said that it is not a problem to serve this coffee, just water it with fertilizer. The glass craftsman's factory is also prepared, and the required materials can be easily found in Yunnan, and it can be completely self-sufficient. Moreover, the craftsmen can burn translucent glass, which is only a matter of time before the pure transparent glass required by the official. The master craftsmen, led by Zhao Xiaowu, have also begun to look at the steam engine. There are already one or two simple models that can drive small cars without human and animal power. It is extremely magical and can add more labor to my Song Dynasty."
Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's so good. If you have any difficulties, you must submit a memorial in time. I will naturally strongly support you."
Cai Boqi hurriedly said, "There are indeed difficulties..."
"Oh? What's the difficulty?"
Zhao Zhen understood that Cai Boqi generally would not speak easily. Once he said there was a problem, it was probably a big problem.
Cai Boqi said naughtyly: "The only difficulty is the road problem. Now the roads in our Song Dynasty are all over the country, but only the land in Yunnan has returned to the king's transformation. Most of these roads are ruins and are dilapidated and useless."
Zhao Zhen understood Cai Boyi's meaning. Road is a big problem. Although it does not participate in production, it is not the main factor of production. Once it leaves smooth transportation, it is really not easy to communicate with the Central Plains. By time, how can the coffee and exquisite glass grown in Yunnan be transported to the Central Plains and even the Western Xia of the Liao Dynasty?
"Well, I will help you solve the roads in Yunnan. Now the court has surplus. All roads on Yunnan Road are borne by the court. Merchants are not allowed to intervene. Just practice Taoism from Dali City to Shanchan Prefecture, and then pass through Wumeng tribe to Luzhou."
Cai Boqi nodded repeatedly: "The official family is wise, the coffee garden and the craftsman's factory are in Shanchan Mansion. There are spring all year round, extremely warm, and the best place!"
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Well, the book of Jin says that the local barbarians are "the big group of Rikkun, the small group of Rikkun." Since that's the case, then we should name it Kunming."
