III. Planning (II)
Correspondingly, he also has several major disadvantages. The first is that he is young and cannot self-determine many things, which he has made up for by the pretense of Lu Zu; The second is that time is pressing, it is now 1211 AD, although there are still sixty-four years before the death of Song, but only thirteen years before he becomes emperor.
If he is not prepared in the past thirteen years, after becoming the emperor, I am afraid it will be even more difficult, at that time his every word and deed will be noticed by tens of millions of courtiers, and if he exceeds the slightest transgression, I am afraid that he will be scolded. Zhao and Ju did not think that the will of the Son of Heaven alone could change the trajectory of history, when Emperor Shenzong believed in Wang Anshi, and took various measures to change the law to become stronger, but the result was a tragedy, this is an example.
What's more, there is also a Mongolia eyeing the north and will not give him much time to prepare.
The Mongolian cavalry, for the Song State, which had completely lost its horse farm, was a nightmare that could not be fought against in the wild. The most flexible and hard-working troops in the era of cold weapons are these barbarians who grew up on horseback since childhood, and they can hardly think about the most complicated logistics of war, and they don't have to think about public opinion and the like. In the era of cold weapons, Zhao and Ju couldn't think of any way to weaken the tactical advantage of the Mongol cavalry, and the only way was to open the golden finger and use his knowledge beyond this era to bring the Song State into the era of hot weapons.
Not to mention the steelmaking technology and other industries required to manufacture modern muskets and artillery, it is not possible to train a group of officers with the concept and skills of commanding hot weapons in a short period of time.
The idea that by earning a lot of silver, you can build and support an army of firearms is child's play.
These two major disadvantages make him have to hurry up.
On the second blank page of his study, how to deal with these situations. The first is talent, the second is talent, and the third is talent!
He needs technical talent to turn what he has in mind into real productive forces, he needs management talent to integrate these productive forces and turn them into wealth, he needs political talent to carry out the reforms he may take in the future, he needs military talent to train and command a professional, regularized, and combat-ready army for him - and he must guarantee the loyalty of this army.
These talents are not possessed in this era, so he most urgently needs talents to cultivate these talents for him, that is, educational talents.
This is the reason why he asked Shi Mo's family to buy orphans, who will become a spark, continue the hope of Chinese civilization, and open the door to a new era for future generations.
"Yoju, what are you thinking?" He came out this time not only accompanied by Zhao Yong, but also his maternal grandfather, the chief of the whole body. This grandfather has always been extremely close to Zhao and Ju, although he is a little greedy for fame and fortune, but he still cherishes his grandson. It is precisely because the two brothers Ju and Rui are very happy with the chief of the whole family that the whole family will think of going back to cling to their parents' family.
"I didn't think about anything...... Grandpa, how far is it? ”
"It's almost over, do you see the small river under this bridge, it came from that Zhuangzi."
The chief of the whole security department stroked his beard and smiled at his little grandson, this little grandson was good-looking, although he was still young, but he was smart and clever, and he was more pleasing to his uncle than his in-laws.
"Although the Zhuangzi is big, it doesn't have a few acres of good land, and the road is a little off, I really don't understand why you are so stubborn." Although Zhao Heju was young, the chief of the whole family knew that the person who was talking in charge of the Zhao family was already the little grandson who was only seven years old. If it is placed after a thousand years, this is naturally an incredible thing, but in ancient times, there were many stories of early wisdom, what Ganluo was twelve years old as the prime minister, Cao Chong called something like this, that is, in this dynasty, there is also a precedent of Wang Jinggong's Jinxi Min Fang Zhongyong, and the chief of the whole security is not worried that his grandson is too smart, but that he is afraid that the young and early wisdom will damage Zhao and Ju's lifespan.
"It's good to have a bowel movement, and it's good to have a little bit." Zhao Youju didn't explain, just replied with a smile.
After about another pillar of incense (Note 8), a piece of green bamboo camphor appeared in Zhao and Ju's sight, and the appearance of the village could be faintly seen between the green bamboo and camphor. This village is located on the hillside, with the hills on its back, the creek in front, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, but it is a place with excellent scenery.
However, from the perspective of operating the family property at this time, there are only more than 30 acres of dry land near the gentle slope and more than 10 acres of paddy fields near the stream, which is really not a good place to buy property. Only those eunuchs who have no worries about food and clothing will build a house here, and enjoy themselves by singing the wind and drinking the glow.
"Not bad."
Zhao Youju was slightly happy in his heart, since he was a child, from the outside, this is a very quiet place, suitable for him to "work behind closed doors", not only do not worry about revealing secrets for outsiders' attention, but also do not have to worry about those orphans who bought will be tempted by the outside world.
He dismounted from the donkey and walked with the reins, and the ground under his feet was extremely muddy because of the spring rains, and his cloth shoes were immediately stained. Zhao Youju stepped on the ground hard, this kind of brick red loamy soil is very suitable for burning red bricks, but the kiln temperature needs to reach 1,000 degrees, before he has enough time and money to get coal to burn bricks, he can also use the earth kiln to burn some bricks.
"Go into Zhuangzi and have a look." The chief of the whole body took his hand and said.
"Grandpa, let's go there first." Zhao pointed to a high slope behind Zhuangzi, a heavily weathered rock about ten zhang higher than Zhuangzi (Note 9). Although it was a little slippery, with the help of Zhao Yong, Zhao Youju and the chief of the whole security still climbed up smoothly.
Although it is only a small high slope, you can see the Zhuangzi from here. This is a small village of about 20 acres square, a low earthen wall surrounds the village, and there are several families scattered outside the village, which should be the tenants of the owner of this village. The mountain behind Zhuangzi is not high, and the mountain is not steep, and several clear springs flow down from several valleys and merge into the stream in front of Zhuangzi. On the other side of the stream is a paddy field, but the area is not large, only more than ten acres of appearance, and further away is a gentle slope, which is piled up into a dam with rocks and leveled into a dry field.
"Who owns the mountain forest behind the village?" Zhao Yoju asked.
"There are only some miscellaneous trees in the mountain forest, and even if they are bloomed, they can't grow crops, and they are not worth much." The chief of the whole security said with a smile: "If you fix this, it is also counted in this village, until the other side of the mountain." ”
Zhao Youju nodded, that is to say, this mountain forest is actually a borderless land, as long as he opens it up, he can make a register in the official mansion and belong to him. He looked at it for a while and said, "Grandpa, let's go into the village and have a look." ”
Note 8: The kung fu of a pillar of incense is the length of time often seen in martial arts texts, but there is no conclusive conclusion as to how long the minutes are, and the statement of fifteen minutes is taken here.
Note 9: In the Song Dynasty, one zhang was ten feet, and one foot was about 27.9 centimeters, and Baidu received the answer.
