Chapter 597: The First Scientific Progress Award of Great Xia

The moon is on the top, and the stars are dotted.

Xiao Rui chatted with Zhang Liang late at night and shared dinner before letting him go out of the palace to rest.

His Majesty also talked to Changsheng Hou Tian Boyuan, as for what to talk about, Xiao Rui didn't ask, now His Majesty doesn't want to be involved in government affairs, and he will never work if he can be lazy, although Xiao Rui is still as usual, he will ask the master of ceremonies to send some major events to deal with the notebook, but a small hill has formed on the dragon case in his imperial study, and he hasn't flipped through it, either to go out for a walk, or to coax the emperor's grandson and granddaughter, and enjoy the happiness of his children and grandchildren in his later years.

This made Xiao Rui very moved, really very moved.

Throughout the history of previous lives and the history of this era, there are very few emperors who have voluntarily abdicated, let alone let the crown prince supervise the country when he is healthy, and he is so relieved to hand over all power to the crown prince.

This trust is very rare.

Of course, Emperor Xia is not lazy in the face of everything, there is still one major event he dare not forget, that is, military power.

This military power is not worried that the crown prince has too much military power, but that these old military marquis have too much military power.

The champion Hou is better, and he will be the national lord in the future, like Changsheng Hou, Zhenyuan Hou and other military marquis, all of whom have military power.

Emperor Xia is on the throne, they don't dare to mess around, after the crown prince ascends the throne, whether they will rely on the old and sell the old, whether they will be reluctant to take out power, no one dares to guarantee!

Therefore, in the layout of Emperor Xia, the cabinet and the six departments were rectified, and the last step was to rectify the power to lead the troops.

Of course, Emperor Xia will not be so ruthless, to use the cruel means of cunning rabbits and dead lackeys, he has his means, and he can take back the military power without seeing the bloody blade. However, now is not the time to talk about this matter, because the war has not yet been settled, and His Majesty knows how to use and grasp the timing better than Xiao Rui.

The next day, Xiao Rui set up a banquet, which was regarded as a celebration banquet for Chang Shenghou and Zhang Liang.

After the banquet ended, the prompt sound that had been loading finally stopped, which made the drunken Xiao Rui suddenly surprised, and immediately opened the system to view.

This look was a little disappointing, and it did not come to the civil servants or military generals.

But then Xiao Rui is a great joy, although he did not come to the military generals of Wenchen, but he is also a good baby, the "Ming Treasure Ship" from the Ming Dynasty in the previous life!

The shipbuilding industry of Daxia is not as good as the previous life of Daming, and the shortcomings are concentrated in the construction of super-large sea ships, the last time Shen Wansan sea voyage, are the largest sea ships in the country, the longest length is only 80 meters, compared to the Ming treasure ship is still inferior.

The largest treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty was 148 meters long and 60 meters wide, making it the largest wooden sailing ship in the world at that time. The ship has four layers, the nine masts on the ship can hang twelve sails, the anchor weighs several thousand catties, and it takes two or three hundred people to set sail.

Such a large sea vessel has a draft of more than six meters, so it basically cannot be built next to a land lake, but only on the coast.

Now it is very suitable to descend on the "Daming Treasure Ship", you can build a treasure shipyard on the coast, and order the Ministry of Industry to build a large sea ship. I have already made two seafaring trades and have made a lot of profits, so this business needs to be continued.

Secondly, Pingbohou is attacking the Wa Kingdom, and after destroying the Wa Kingdom, he will build a transit station here to meet the docking of treasure ships.

Moreover, with the experience of manufacturing large treasure ships, small and medium-sized ships are even more handy, and they can also rapidly improve the development of the shipbuilding industry in Daxia.

This advent of the system is also a way to use the junior college. A teacher at a junior college, and also a master craftsman in the Tiger Pavilion, he invented the design drawings of the "Great Ming Treasure Boat".

In order to promote this craftsman spirit, Xiao Rui asked Song Yingxing, the secretary of the household department, to personally go out and reward the other party with a large amount of silver as a sign of encouragement, and at the same time entered the Ministry of Industry as a supervisor and had an official status.

The last glider, coupled with the current "Daming Treasure Boat", the imperial court attached so much importance to invention and creation, which greatly inspired countless craftsmen and made them see the opportunity to get ahead.

This also reminded Xiao Rui that since he encourages invention and creation, and encourages manufacturing, why not further publicity.

Artisanal manufacturing also boosts productivity, and the promotion does not offend the existing class and does not panic the elite.

Because a craftsman is a craftsman, is it possible that he can still enter the sixth ministry and enter the cabinet? They can only play a role in the industry of the Ministry of Industry, and do not infringe on other interests.

Therefore, Xiao Rui immediately convened a cabinet meeting and invited several cabinet scholars.

After the six scholars gathered together, Xiao Rui said: "I invited a few scholars to discuss something with you. A craftsman from the college invented the blueprint for the treasure ship, and I'm sure you've heard of it. The treasure ship designed in this picture is the largest and most advanced sea ship in Great Xia, whether it is for maritime trade, but foreign warfare, it is the embodiment of increasing the national strength of Great Xia, and the palace has been rewarded by Lord Song, and many craftsmen have been inspired to start researching inventions. Therefore, the palace has an idea, ready to have the Ministry of Industry to initiate and organize an activity called the "First Scientific Progress Award of Great Xia", and the Ministry of Industry will screen the best inventions and creations in the territory of Great Xia, and the selection criteria are naturally to create value and wealth for Great Xia. A total of 10 places were selected and introduced and publicized to the world through the Daxia Daily. And these ten people, they can not only get high rewards, but also enter the Ministry of Industry to hold professional titles! What do you think? ”

Song Yingxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was overjoyed and said: "Your Highness, this plan is very clever, and it will definitely stimulate the enthusiasm of craftsmen for invention and creation!" ”

Li Mingchong, the first assistant of the cabinet on the side, said: "Your Highness, if this move is hyped up, it can stimulate the enthusiasm of the craftsmen, will it also kill them and make them impetuous?" ”

Shinong industry and commerce, the identity class of the times, it is normal for Li Mingchong to have this consideration.

Xiao Rui is seeking stability now, and it is impossible to directly improve the status of the industrial and commercial class, so he said with a smile: "So this activity is supported by the Ministry of Industry, and the palace will not participate." In the same way, the household department can also conduct a 'Great Xia First Agricultural Progress Award' to reward those who have promoted the cultivation and development of new crops! Fang Shangshu, what do you think? “

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said with a smile: "As soon as His Royal Highness finished speaking, I thought that this 'First Agricultural Progress Award of Great Xia' must be held, and the ministers will lead the household department to promote this event." Agriculture is the foundation of the country, work is the policy of strengthening the country, officials are the source of a rich country, and business is the power of rejuvenating the country. ”

Meng Tianhai on the side smiled and said: "So, can our Ministry of Officials also hold a 'First Outstanding Officials Award in Daxia', select some outstanding officials who are honest and honest, give them the opportunity to be rewarded and promoted, and even have the opportunity to leave their names in history, which can also greatly improve the integrity of officials!" ”

"That's right! What Master Meng said is extremely true! There is always an opening for everything, and these initiatives have not been done before, so it can only be said that the time has not come, and now that the time has not come, there will naturally be. After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he looked at Li Mingchong, the first assistant of the cabinet.

Li Mingchong said with a smile, "The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households held a grand event at the same time, it would not be abrupt at all, and it would also bring greater motivation. ”

Cheng Ming and Lu Yuanzheng were also meaningless, and they nodded in approval.

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then it is decided, you go back and let your subordinates draw up a charter, determine the time and plan for selection, it is best to complete it before the end of the year, and then hand it over to Zhan Shifu, and let Jia Zhan Shi publicize it through Daxia Daily!" ”

"Yes!" The six scholars stood up and answered.

After discussing this matter, Xiao Rui said: "This year's flood season will not be small, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River have had a lot of floods, causing more than 100,000 people to be displaced, and it is estimated that the situation will be more serious next year, so we must make preparations as soon as possible." Meng Shangshu, Song Shangshu, this matter should not be taken lightly. ”

Song Yingxing said: "Your Highness, rest assured, in view of the sections of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River that are prone to bursting embankments, the Ministry of Industry has carried out investigation and reinforcement, and has expanded the area of the flood lake while the people are at home after the autumn harvest now. And dredge the river to clean up the river that turns sharply and is prone to silt blockage. ”

In the summer, when the river has a large amount of water storage, it reaches its peak, and the embankment will burst. The more blocked, the more the flood after the embankment is broken, the more ferocious.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Highness, the Ministry of Household Affairs has been introducing people in areas prone to floods and encouraging them to move to 14 prefectures, and the effect is good, so far, 65,000 families have been relocated. Over the past two years or so, a total of 200,000 poor families have migrated to the 14 prefectures of Anxi, almost 1.5 million people. ”

No one wants to leave their homeland, and their hometown is the root.

But as long as there are plenty of conveniences and benefits, they will leave even if they don't want to. Staying in my hometown requires a high amount of rent and farming, but now the disasters are frequent, and if you don't pay attention, you will not be able to harvest anything, not to mention food, and you will not even have the money to pay rent.

Moving to the 14 prefectures of Anxi, although it is a displacement from home, as long as it is moved, the state will give a part of the land according to the population, and then you can also rent land from the Huangtian Group, and the rent is one-tenth of that of the landlord. So what will the people choose?

Xiao Rui nodded, feeling that Great Xia had fortunately occupied the territory of Zhao State. At the same time, I have to praise Zhao Guo's advantages.

Zhao is in the center of the Shenzhou continent, the four seasons are distinct, the terrain is a plain, only one Qi River crosses, but there are many river networks, so the flood has nothing to do with Zhao State, and it is the downstream Great Xia and Yan Kingdom that suffer.

Also because of the advantages of the terrain, the available arable land rate of Zhao State is high, and the amount of cultivated land is not inferior to that of Great Xia, and the population is only 60 or 70 million, and the per capita cultivated land is twice that of Great Xia.

Since Zhao Guo has such a good land, why is it still mixed up to destroy the country?

In the final analysis, it is a matter of system.

The land was concentrated in the hands of the powerful, the interest rate of the common people was too high, and in the event of natural disasters, corruption by local officials, and so on, the class contradictions were so fierce that no matter how good a game of chess was, it would be gone.

And when Bactria occupied the fourteen states, all the land was re-registered and redivided, which was equivalent to retaking the land from the hands of the magnates of the Zhao state, and then distributing it to the common people and the families who migrated.

Therefore, the people have land, and naturally live in good health.
