Chapter 1437 Merit

In November of the seventh year of Yuanfeng, the newspapers from all walks of life began to arrive, and the Great Song Dynasty ushered in the third year of a bumper harvest.

Three years of accumulation, the world is peaceful.

Although there were two floods in the Luoshui Yellow River this year, and the Yellow River almost broke in the Daimyo's Mansion, it was still held down in the end.

Although Ningxia No. 3 Road has not yet paid agricultural tax, the income from commercial tax and industrial and mining is higher than that of three times the agricultural tax.

Truckloads of gold, silver, copper and iron were collected in Bafan Town, crossed the Yellow River to Lanzhou, and then transferred to Jingzhao and sent to Zhengzhou.

Steel was turned into railroad tracks in Zhengzhou, extending along the railway embankment to Luoyang and Bianjing, respectively.

Last month, Ali Gu and his entourage were sent to His Majesty, and Zhao Ji ordered them to be sent to the Law Division to record their crimes.

After the trial, Dali Temple believed that Ali Gu's father and son killed their mother, killed their uncle, mutilated the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, and innocently killed the ministers and people, and the number was as many as thousands.

The subordinate general Qingyi made a ghost chapter, resented the Great Song Dynasty, booby-trapped Jing Sili by despicable means, and confronted the Great Song Dynasty for a long time.

Please punish him as a sin of great rebellion.

The Times published the trial one after another, especially the Qingyi Ghost Chapter, and the people's hatred for him was even stronger than Ali Gu.

According to the "Song Criminal System", the crime of great rebellion should be beheaded. However, at the time of the execution, the angry people of Kaifeng Mansion swarmed up, beat away the officials who escorted and imprisoned them, and beat Ali Gu, Nannazhi, Jiejiao and Qingyi Jiegui Zhang to death, "crushing and gnawing their flesh, so that they could not be seen".

This was a serious mass incident, and afterwards the angry people also tried to storm the Liao embassy, but were stopped by Yan Da, who had just been transferred to Beijing, and arrested more than 100 troublemakers.

Zhao Ji didn't blame the people, and after the situation calmed down, he ordered Yanda to release everyone, but the chief official of Kaifeng Mansion and the general sentence were demoted.

Summoned Cai Jing to Beijing and served as the governor of Kaifeng.

However, these news are not as good as an explosive big news, Zhao Xiaoyi, the envoy of the Puzhou regiment, Su Yi, the son of the Duke of Shu, and Chen Tong, the son of Chen Zhaoming, were ordered by His Majesty to sail out to sea, traveled thousands of miles east, and discovered a "new continent"!

The coastline of that continent alone is not shorter than the coastline of the Great Song Dynasty, and the three children originally wanted to sail around the world, but they walked thousands of miles along the coastline of the mainland from north to south, but they couldn't get around!

Unlike New Song Zhou, there are people of the same species as Huaxia on that continent!

From north to south, the local people pursued the Xia system and the Shang system respectively!

This article was first stabbed out by the "Liangzhejiang Business Daily", and He Guitou used 500 yuan to buy the right to publish the first report of the "Voyage Log of the Levovolch" and published overseas reports beautifully.

"Bianjing Times" was angry and cried, a newspaper supervised by the dignified Guozi, but because it was government-run, the flexibility in the use of funds was not as flexible as Zheng Xia's, so they could only reprint other people's news.

Moreover, according to the provisions of the "Press Act", the "Bianjing Times" must also give the "Liangzhejiang Business Daily" a "reprint fee".

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and what discovered the new continent, a voyage of 30,000 miles back and forth, before the news of Xia Shang's system still existed in the world, it became a floating cloud.

Everyone began to discuss, Chen Tongzhi is only eleven or twelve years old this year, is his bold inference reliable or not......

Immediately after, Zhao Zongyou was sent to the table by Jing Haijiedu, which once again shook the Great Song Dynasty academic circles - the country on the eastern continent that practiced the commercial system actually kept the astronomical records of thousands of years!

After the collation and translation of the L-Screw Science and Engineering Team, and the preliminary calculation of the Zhongshan Observatory, these data, at least the part of sampling verification, turned out to be detailed and accurate!

This news made Zhao Ji a little nervous.

By now, he also has some concepts about science and engineering.

It is mathematics that is used to guide science and engineering, and the science with the most widely used mathematics is astronomy, so in countries where astronomy is developed, mathematics will be developed, and the corresponding science and engineering will generally be very developed.

Therefore, according to logic, it can be inferred that the country thousands of miles away from the Eastern Ocean is no less developed in astronomy than in the Great Song Dynasty, so its degree of development in mathematics and science and engineering should be no less than that of the Great Song Dynasty.

It's too bad now, the Great Song Dynasty finally got rid of the Western Xia, Qingtang, and is preparing to arm itself vigorously, and the next step is the seemingly unshakable Liao State.

Seeing that he only collected three or five more buckets, why did a huge opponent emerge?

This is what Su Mingrun said, a contradiction has just been resolved, and a contradiction has emerged?

Wait until you look down, damn, there are still such countries in the world? This, this, this...... Isn't that anything...... Ah, science!

What country is still using stone tools?!

Zhao Ji said to Chen Zhaoming, who rushed to Bianjing: "Bachelor, what kind of country will it be like this? ”

Chen Zhaoming was also looking through the recital of the flat jar and the chair: "It can also be seen between the lines that Zichao and Ziming are also inexplicable about this situation. To know the truth of this question, I am afraid that we have to start with the history of the country. ”

"But that one doesn't even have bronzes, chariots and horses from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, let alone giant ships, and there is no threat to my Great Song Dynasty."

After speaking, he frowned and said: "They are too lax like this, just based on some clues, they can conclude that they are descendants of Shang and Zhou, which is not very reliable." ”

Zhao Ji thought about it and this is also the truth: "It doesn't matter whether it is the descendants of Shang and Zhou, so that the scholars can know that they have found huge gold and silver deposits there, and they have mined 160,000 taels of gold and nearly 2 million catties of silver in just one month." ”

Chen Zhaoming didn't care much about this: "In that case, why don't the locals take it?" What do they use as currency? ”

Zhao Ji, who got the first-hand information, began to show off: "I heard that it is a kind of bean called cocoa, which can make a drink with a strong fragrance, which is estimated to be similar to coffee beans." The princes and nobles there used this bean as currency, not gold or silver. ”

After speaking, he shook his head and said: "The wonder of the world is really a little inexplicable." ”

Chen Zhaoming arched his hand and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for tolerating the three children, otherwise they will at least have to be exiled to Shamen Island for their mortal crimes." ”

Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing: "These 30,000 miles of wind and waves are all going back and forth, how far is Shamen Island?" ”

"Besides, Cao Binping Southern Tang didn't bring back so much gold and silver for Taizu, and even the Duke of Shu collected the South China Sea and took Ningxia, but he didn't bring back so much in the first year."

"What sin cannot be atonemented with five million pieces of silver? I am not such an unkind king. Hahahaha......"

Chen Zhaoming is not good at words, so he can only laugh dryly.

Zhao Ji said: "This matter cannot be mentioned again in the future, the 26th regiment training is in accordance with the order of the Emperor, with Su Yi and Chen Tong as the deputies, to conduct sea trials on the first steam ship of the Emperor Song Dynasty. ”

In addition to drawing the Great Oriental Route and the coastline map of the west coast of Dongshengzhou, the children also carried out 26 technical transformations to the steam engine during the voyage; Infantry guns, shrapnel were designed; Harvested a mountain of gold; Countless crops and livestock of Dongshengzhou; There are also star catalogs from thousands of years. ”

"Bachelor, it is said that these two wind belts can allow ships to travel continuously between the two places, instead of waiting for the wind like the ships heading to the heavenly India?"

Chen Zhaoming said: "Yes, but the wind and waves on the ocean, it is said that the summer is the most gentle, and the winter is quite risky. ”

Zhao Ji took the compass, pointed to Wenhua County on the map, and then pulled all the way south to Jinshan County: "I heard that from here, here, there are a small number of nomadic tribes in the middle, feeding on bison and fish, and after this, it is a farming area." ”

"Here in Wenhua County, the climate is suitable, the giant trees are towering, and the open sea is covered by long islands, which is a natural harbor."

"There's another place down there, almost the same terrain as Wenhua County, which is also a wind-shielding fjord, but bigger."

"However, there was still no exit, and the flat tank was gassed, thinking that it was a duplicate superposition of Wenhua County, so it was named Jiafu County."

"Next, the imperial court will let the twenty-first jiedu personally lead the fleet to investigate, if these two places are suitable for farming, the imperial court will set up an army and a port, build a city and a tuntian, and then ......"

After speaking, he pointed from Jiafu County to Jade Huang Kingdom: "You can go here to move gold and silver to the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Seeing Chen Zhaoming's indifferent look, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's insulting to say this, in short, the three children not only have no fault this time, but also have a lot of achievements." ”

"Especially the chair, I heard that he drew a large number of rapid sketches during this voyage, invented a powerful aerial bomb, and was responsible for communicating with the monarchs and ministers of the Jade Kingdom with oracle bone inscriptions, and presided over the translation of astronomical materials, and sure enough, he inherited the outstanding talent of the bachelor and the county monarch!"

"There are very few prodigies like this in my big song, and I only tried the children's department this year, and I took a few, but those few cans can't be compared with the chair flat jar."

"However, after all, he is still young, if such a genius is lost in the wind and waves, how can my Great Song afford it?"
