The Great Song Dynasty has great talents every year, and it will not decay easily.

And these wealthy families are actually almost the same thing.

As long as there are children in the family who are truly talented and learned, there will be no decline.

Zhao Dongting just chuckled when he heard this, "All of you Aiqing are still in the prime of life, why do you want to take care of your old age." I don't allow it, the court still has to rely on you! ”

All the ministers laughed, but everyone understood that the emperor was just saying kind words.

Among the people here, there are indeed many people who are about to retire. Now it has taken a back seat, otherwise it would not have been arranged to preside over the imperial examination.

Deputy Inspector Ling Xi Zhili and Xu Yuesong, secretary of the Ministry of Military Science and Technology, are all in retirement this year.

And Zhang Shijie, the supervision order, Chen Jianghan, the secretary of the Ministry of Finance, and Zhang Xi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, are still sitting on the main seat, but they are actually past the retirement age.

Zhao Dongting didn't let them leave office before, and it was all because there were not so many young courtiers in the Great Song Dynasty who were worthy of great responsibilities.

Only now, I'm afraid this matter has to be put on the agenda.

After several years of political trials, the imperial court has also discovered many capable officials who have made a difference in various places, and it is time to promote them.

Iron battalions and flowing soldiers. The rivers and lakes are constantly changing blood, the old are gone, and the new ones are reappearing. And the imperial court is even more so.

Only by continuously delivering fresh blood can the imperial court continue to prosper.

Although Zhao Dongting said that all Aiqing were still in the prime of life, he couldn't help but think about which people's family members Zhang Xi should be in their positions.

The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Military Science, and so on, these are all very important yamen.

According to qualifications, of course, it should be to promote those old ministers who have worked hard for the court for many years, and are second only to Zhang Xi in these people.

But in terms of professional knowledge, etc., these old ministers are really not as sharp as those courtiers selected by the imperial examination.

It's hard to have both qualifications and abilities.

This is not to say that the old ministers of the DPRK and China are incapable, but it is just that they are good at governing the government, but their pioneering spirit is still inferior to those young courtiers who have emerged under the new type of education.

Take the Song Dynasty as an example, now Zhong Jian, Mao Hao and others are doing a good job in Dali Road, so that the people's livelihood in Dali Road has developed at a very fast speed. The people in Dali quickly accepted the governance of the Song Dynasty. And such as Fujian, Guangnan East Road and other roads, are the old ministers in power, although there is no chaos, but also in an orderly development, but its speed, compared with Dali, Shuzhong, there is still a bit of a gap.

After all, those old ministers are still imprisoned by thinking.

Regarding the selection of the new science and technology scholars, Zhao Dongting did not plan to do it personally.

After a few words of laughter with the ministers, he only said: "Now that the new science and technology scholars have been listed, the officials are ready to start sending them to various places!" ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu hurriedly stood up and received the order.

Zhao Dongting looked at him and said, "The matter of the appointment is related to the country, Aiqing must remember that there is no need to consider nepotism." I don't want Da Song to open such an opening. ”

"Remember it in your heart."

Hearing this, the Ministry of Rites' face became more serious.

Immediately, Zhao Dongting waved his hand and asked all the ministers to retreat.

He remained in the study, pondering.

On this day, Zhao Dongting sent a decree to Dali Road, asking Zhong Jian, then director of the Dali Road Department of Agriculture, to return to the imperial city.

Dong Lishi, who was sometimes the director of the Daozhou Finance Bureau, was also announced to Changsha by him.

In addition to these two people, it is Zhao and Luo, the envoys of Kuizhou Road.

He was obviously planning to form a new imperial center.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the condition that the frontier is stable, and the Great Song Dynasty is free of trouble, time always seems to pass faster than before.

Zhao Da led the Flying Dragon Army and the masters of Wudingtang back to Changsha.

Because of the fact that he wanted to send troops to the South China Sea, it was obvious that it would be difficult for Zhao Dongting to use troops against Japan before the South China Sea dispute was over.

But he wasn't in such a hurry.

It's not a bad thing to let Soratake play with those pirates overseas in Japan first.

After learning that Zhao Da and others had returned to the city, Zhao Dongting only Xuan Linchong, Wu Amiao, Yu Linglong, Li Fanghua, and Wu Sanhai went to the imperial study to meet them.

Although it is not easy to form a navigation team in each state, it has been a long time since it was finally prepared.

There were tens of thousands of young and strong seafarers who signed up for the navigation team in the Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court only selected more than 2,000 people from them.

Then there are the soldiers selected from the various garrisons.

In addition to the navigation ambassadors, the rest of the navigation team, such as the deputy navigational envoy, captain, chief manager, and other officials, are mostly selected from the new science and technology and officials from various places.

Of course, not all of them are proficient in seafaring, but they all have their own strengths.

Of course, none of this requires Zhao Dongting to work hard.

As an emperor, in fact, if he is willing to let go of power like him, there is no need to take care of everything at all.

After Wu Amiao and the others arrived in the imperial study, Zhao Dongting only asked, "How are the preparations for the navigation teams of the various states?" ”

Wu Sanhai was an old ambassador of the sea, and he could be regarded as an old-timer among several people, so he took the lead in replying: "Back to the emperor, the major navigation teams have been formed, and most of the crew, sailors, escort officers and officials in the navigation team have been ordered to rush to Haojing Island for a long time. ”

If it weren't for the previous natural disaster, at this time, in fact, the sailing teams of all continents would have gone to sea.

Zhao Dongting actually knew it in his heart, and when he heard this, he nodded lightly and said, "Then let's prepare to go to sea!" ”

He looked at Li Fanghua and Wu Amiao, who looked quite excited, and couldn't help laughing: "I also plan to go to Haojing Island to have a look and send you out to sea." Although the total number of navigation teams on each continent is less than 10,000 people, it is also the face of our Great Song Dynasty. When you go to sea, I will do enough for you, and I hope that when you triumph, you can bring back surprises for me. ”

Wu Amiao and others agreed again and again.

They never thought that Zhao Dongting would go to Haojing Island because of this matter.

As everyone knows, Zhao Dongting actually has other thoughts.

In later generations, Macao and Hong Kong were both famous and prosperous cities in the world, just like the two bright pearls along the coast of the Great Song Dynasty. And now, the name of Haojing Island has just been established by the Great Song Dynasty, and it is far from prosperous, and the people on the island are only thousands. As for Hong Kong, it doesn't even have a place name, but it is just a place for fishermen to rest when they go out to sea.

If such two geographically advantageous islands are allowed to develop slowly like this, Zhao Dongting undoubtedly feels that they are very tyrannical.

The Great Song Dynasty wanted to become an empire that had a great impact on the whole world. The ports and coastal islands must be developed.

After that, Zhao Dongting was scheduled to go to Haojing Island five days later, and asked Wu Amiao and the others to go back to prepare. He also left the imperial study and went back to the dormitory.

When they arrived at the dormitory, all the women were in the courtyard, enjoying the warm sunshine.

Zhao Dongting walked in with a smile and asked with a smile, "Do you want to go out of the palace to have a look?" ”

All the women's eyes lit up in an instant.

Since they gave birth to their children, they have not left the palace for a long time. In this palace, although the food and clothing are luxurious, and I feel warm and happy, I will inevitably be a little quiet and excited after staying for a long time.

The music and dance girl was the most excited, and asked again and again: "Your Majesty, where are you going to take us?" ”

Zhao Dongting said slowly: "Go to Haojing Island." ”

All the women were amazed.

Le Wu frowned slightly and asked, "Where is Haojing Island?" ”

Zhao Dongting said: "It is an overseas island of Guangzhou. ”

"Go! Go! ”

When Le Wu heard this, he was even more surprised, and said again and again.

She just thought that Zhao Dongting was going to take them to walk on the street, and this alone could make her happy enough. And Zhao Dongting said that taking them to Haojing Island certainly made her even more happy.

It is difficult for them to have such an opportunity to travel far away in the palace. This is naturally a "tour".

It's just that in this era, there is no such thing as tourism.

Le Chan, Yue Yue, Yunjing and other women also showed joy, and their eyes were already quite expectant.

After more than ten seconds, it was Le Chan who asked, "How could the emperor suddenly have the mind to go to Haojing Island?" ”

Zhao Dongting even told Le Chan and the other women about the sailing team's going to sea.

The women were even more happy.

The most anxious music and dance are in a hurry to go back to the room to pack things.

They are now mothers, and although they have a noble status, they still like to do many things themselves.
