"Stay guard downstairs and don't let anyone come up." Zhao Kuangyin commanded, and more than a dozen eunuchs led by Meng Kuan bowed down.

Zhao Dezhao followed Zhao Kuangyin and went up to the Spring Appreciation Pavilion, and the two stood still in front of the railing.

"After the prosperity, it is even more sluggish......" Zhao Kuangyin propped his hands on the railing, watched the servants below clean up the mess, and complained.

Zhao Dezhao was a little unsure of his mentality, and he didn't know what he was feeling.

Moreover, although he is the biggest vested interest, Zhao Dezhao does not think that he will doubt himself.

Because potassium chloride is fundamentally a new drug that cannot be recognized in this era, even the imperial doctor can't recognize this new drug, let alone suspect that someone is poisoning.

"Why did Daddy say that?"

Zhao Kuangyin didn't answer, and said: "I can't wait......"

This time, Zhao Dezhao somewhat understood. Zhao Guangyi's illness today gave him a sense of crisis.

Now the Song Dynasty is full of enemies, there is the predecessor of the Western Xia in the northwest, the Dingyan Army, and Shanxi also has the Northern Han Dynasty in collusion with the Liao Dynasty, and the Liao Dynasty in the north is a behemoth.

In the south, although Houshu has been pacified, but the rebellion is not stopped, in the south, there are also Southern Tang, Southern Han, Wu Yue, and the southwest of the large and small Fan tribes.

Zhao Kuangyin wants to leave a stable country for the Zhao family, and now he is a little anxious.

"After the autumn harvest next month, I want to drive a personal expedition and conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty, what do you think?"

Zhao Dezhao groaned and said, "Where does Daddy want to attack from?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Is there a difference?" ”

Zhao Dezhao said: "The Southern Tang Dynasty is richer than me, and now the country is far more powerful than my dynasty, but the Southern Tang people are cowardly, so they have always been at a disadvantage."

If it is only a regional battle, our Song Dynasty will win a hundred battles, but if it is a war to destroy the country, the outcome is unpredictable.

Daddy is in a hurry, I'm afraid that the result will be half the effort, after all, our army's naval army is far inferior to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

If the Northern Han Dynasty arrives, the Liao Dynasty will take advantage of the situation and invert our Great Song Dynasty and the dangerous situation, so you must not be careless. ”

Zhao Kuangyin paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at Zhao Dezhao carefully. "I thought you would approve of the expedition, but you would object?"

"My Great Song Dynasty has been fighting for many years, and it is difficult for the people to recuperate. The Yellow River floods every year, making the people even more miserable. Now there are strong enemies all around, so you can't be careful. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was just a little excited for a while because Zhao Guangyi was sick.

Of course, he knew that it was not advisable for the imperial driver to conquer in person, and if he went to the south with a large army, this Kaifeng Mansion would not be able to stop the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty.

Zhao Dezhao knew better that the Song Dynasty was able to unify the south, not because of the strength of the soldiers and horses, but because the emperors of the south were more incompetent than the other.

When it comes to national strength, not to mention compared with the Southern Tang Dynasty, even compared with the Southern Han Dynasty, which occupies Guangdong and Guangxi, it is not much stronger.

The Central Plains has been in turmoil for a hundred years, people and land have been plowed over and over again, where is there any accumulation now?

This is not the Tang Dynasty, in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the country was rich, and the family united against Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and the country changed in a few months.

Li Yuan became the emperor in a few months, and he was the fastest one in Chinese history from raising the flag to becoming an emperor.

The Tang Dynasty inherited the legacy of the Sui Dynasty, and the grain in the official warehouse could not be eaten.

Without this grain, why would Li Shimin pacify the Quartet within a few years?

The Song Dynasty opened a hundred years after the war, and most of the wealth in the Central Plains was seized by the Liao Dynasty.

The Liao Dynasty is the boss of this era, and if it weren't for the current civil strife, the Central Plains would still tremble under their threat.

The Song Dynasty attacked the south, actively preparing in advance, and when the time was ripe, it swallowed the other party with a bang.

If it was a protracted war, the Song Dynasty would not be able to afford it at all.

Zhao Kuangyin asked again: "Then in your opinion, what should we do?" ”

This is the test, and now that Zhao Kuangyin finds that Zhao Guangyi is not in good health, he is about to start adjusting the cultivation strategy of the heir.

Zhao Dezhao knelt on one knee and hugged his fist to Zhao Kuangyin and said: "If Daddy allows me to go to Shannan Dongdao next year, give me two years, and the child will definitely cultivate a large army, at most three years, to pacify the southern dynasties." ”

Zhao Kuangyin's face was solemn and asked, "Why do you rely on it?" ”

If you want to get Zhao Kuangyin's support, you can't come out without some dry goods.

Zhao Dezhao said loudly: "The child will enter the palace tomorrow, bring in some things for his father, and his father will know." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Why don't you go to the East Palace now?" ”

After speaking, he shouted to the bottom: "Swing the East Palace." ”

Zhao Kuangyin was so anxious, which Zhao Dezhao did not expect.

There are too many drawings and materials in the study, and it is a lot of trouble for him to see it.

However, at this time, there was no part of Zhao Dezhao's refusal, and Zhao Dezhao could only beckon to Tong Liang.

Tong Liang stepped forward, and Zhao Dezhao said: "You go back to the East Palace first, find out the file of the study No. A, burn incense and light the lamp, and we will arrive later." ”

There is no flaw in what he said, the key is that Zhao Dezhao has always been eye-catching with Tong Liang.

Tong Liang understood, immediately trotted all the way, and returned to the East Palace to prepare first.

Only he and Xu Yongchang can enter the study in the apse of the East Palace, he follows Zhao Dezhao every day, and Xu Yongchang stays in the study every day.

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Zhao Dezhao, and suddenly smiled: "I have long found out that you have been in the Divine Dao for the past few months, and it seems that you really have something to hide from me." ”

Zhao Dezhao also knew that he had changed a lot in the past two months, so he deliberately did not hide it. "It's just that the child hasn't been determined yet, so it's inconvenient to tell his father."

"Is it something like the Ginseng Guben Pill and the Immortal Qi Technique?"

"Daddy, see you."

"Don't pat yourself on the back, if it's a big deal, you can't be punished for a crime of knowing and not reporting."

Having said that, he was kind and had a smile on his face, and he was obviously in a good mood.

Two or three miles came in a quarter of an hour, and the lanterns in the courtyard had been lit here in the East Palace, illuminating all parts of the East Palace.

The doors and windows of the study had been opened, and Tong Liang and Xu Yongchang were guarding the front and back, not letting others approach.

Zhao Dezhao took Zhao Kuangyin to the middle courtyard, hugged his fists and said: "Daddy, it's an important matter, the less people know about it, the better." ”

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand with Meng Kuan. "Meng Kuan came in with me, and the others sanitated the surroundings."

The commander of the forbidden army who followed him went into the house and checked it, and when he was sure that there was no one hiding, he beckoned the people to disperse.

Everyone dispersed, Zhao Kuangyin followed Zhao Dezhao into the study, closed the doors and windows at the back, and left only Tong Liang and Meng Kuan in the room.

On the desk, a rattan box was already placed on it, and the other boxes were urgently transferred to other places by Tong Liang.

Zhao Dezhao was very sure in his heart, he was not afraid that the new technology would be known by Zhao Kuangyin, the key was that some statecraft strategies did not match the current situation, so that Zhao Kuangyin knew, but it would be troublesome.

Opening the rattan box, Zhao Dezhao checked the covers of the different dossiers, and then took out several copies in order.

Zhao Kuangyin sat at the desk with a loud voice, looking at Zhao Dezhao with some amusement.

The first is the overall drawing and split drawings of a waterwheel.

"This is a waterwheel?"

Zhao Dezhao nodded. "It's a waterwheel, but it's slightly different because the shaft is mounted with bearings, and it's all steel."

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and asked, "What is the effect?" ”

"It can make the waterwheel bigger and drive heavier power."

"Isn't the power of the waterwheel enough to grind the dough?" Before Zhao Dezhao could answer, he came to his senses again and said, "No wonder you have always wanted to go to Shannan Dongdao, because you have taken a fancy to the Han River in Xiangyang City, right?" ”

Seeing that he was not interested in the detailed drawings, Zhao Dezhao nodded and opened the second stack of drawings.

This is a stack of drawings of linkage devices and lathes, and this time Zhao Kuangyin can't understand it.

His eyes were already big, and at this time they were like copper bells. "What's that?"

Zhao Dezhao ignored him and opened the third stack of drawings, and this time, Zhao Kuangyin understood. "Is this an iron furnace?"

Finally, Zhao Dezhao opened another stack of drawings, the first one was a whole drawing of a spear, and the back was a split drawing.

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly snatched the third stack of drawings, and said suspiciously: "This is not your handwriting?" ”

Zhao Dezhao chuckled in his heart, revealing that Pei Ge'an was not terrible, the terrible thing was that she happened to be in the palace today.

Zhao Dezhao was directly picked up by Zhao Kuangyin and slipped back, and he didn't have time to greet her at all.

At this time, I heard Tong Liang say: "Sage, this is the second brother's maid to write on behalf of the second brother, and the second brother has to write every one, it's too tiring." ”

Seeing Tong Liang drooping his eyelids calmly again, Zhao Dezhao understood that Pei Ge'an had already come back first, which made him feel reassured.

Hearing that it was written by the maid, Zhao Kuangyin didn't doubt it anymore, and looked at the musket again and asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhao Dezhao said: "A musket that can kill people in a hundred steps in the air." ”

"Muskets? Spitfire? "It is definitely not easy to explain how a white musket works with someone who has no concept of a musket at all.

Zhao Dezhao could only patiently explain to him. "Daddy, listen to me, this is a fire cap, this is a fuse, put gunpowder and bullets in the barrel of the gun, ignite the gunpowder, and you can make the bullets fly out of the barrel and hurt people."

This popular science is an hour, from gunpowder to firecrackers, and then Zhao Kuangyin understands the operation of the musket and the role of the lathe.

From the waterwheel, to the bearing, to the linkage device, to the lathe, to the grinder, to the musket, it is a complete set of industrial system.

Of course, at this time, it cannot be said that it is an industry, but only a process system.

And the source of all this is power, and only stable power can make everything work.

"Hanshui ......"

From ancient times to the present, except for the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the middle and upper reaches of the Han River are the most stable, and the volume of water is also large.

In the Yangyang section, the Han River runs from west to east, from high to low, and the water potential runs along the mountain, and the river bank is very stable.

However, once you pass Yangyang, the east-west direction becomes a north-south direction, and you enter the plain area.

At this stage, the water is much calmer, but the river bank is also much smoother.

Then, the Jianghan Plain suffers from flooding every few years because the terrain is too peaceful. When the rainy season arrives, the water has nowhere to go.

"Let's not talk about your trip to Xiangyang for the time being, tell me, how do you know this?"

It's going to deceive people again. Zhao Dezhao was a little helpless. "Daddy, do you believe that it is the dream of the Daojun?"
