Came to the door of the forbidden palace, in fact, on the royal road, it is already heavily guarded, it can not be said, the royal road is strictly forbidden to pass, but there are few people on it, the closer to the position of the palace, the more the guard of the royal road is more and more strict, about 5 miles away from the palace, every 100 meters, there are special guards, to the palace gate, there are a large number of guards.

Han Qi's carriage was sent by the Dongfu, with Han Qi's logo on it, of course it would not be blocked, but at the gate of the palace, Han Qi also had to get off, fortunately, the place where they parked was at the side gate, and when they entered here, it was the place where Renzong worked every day, and it was about a mile away, which was not a big deal at all for Han Qi, who was still young.

In order to participate in the exercise of the Dinghai Navy, he could personally ride his horse and gallop for most of the day, not to mention such a slow walk, say goodbye to the coachman, and by the way, let the soldiers who followed him wait in a special resting place, and then walk to the palace gate.

There are a lot of guards at the palace gate, but if you don't know Han Qi, there are relatively few, Han Qi is the first assistant, and he is also the first assistant who is young and strong, and he has a strong wrist, he enters and exits the palace gate a lot every day, and before Han Qi walks in, the guards take the initiative to thousands and salute Han Qi.

Familiar with the process, after checking the seal letter at the palace gate, holding the sign to enter the palace, Han Qi entered the palace and walked slowly in the forbidden palace, in his heart, a burst of emotion, the Northern Song Dynasty in the past few years, there have been too many changes, and it is too big, this palace is the most obvious.

Before, the forbidden palace of the Northern Song Dynasty could not be said to be big, let alone magnificent, several emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were relatively pragmatic, they preferred to spend money in a clear place, rather than on the palace, the Northern Song Dynasty is also a rare feudal dynasty, after taking power, there was no large-scale construction of the palace, the large-scale construction of the palace dynasty, just a few palaces were repaired.

By the time of Zhenzong and Renzong, because of the financial constraints of the Northern Song Dynasty, some of them were in disrepair, or were hit by fires and thunder, and the dilapidated palace did not have the funds to repair it, so the palace has always been relatively dilapidated.

This time, Zhao Xin directly gave money, the palace built is quite huge, 999 and a half palace rooms, not a simple room, is a huge palace, this may be more difficult for feudal society, because the huge palace, all need giant trees, with the gradual expansion of human activities, giant trees in the place where human activities are more prosperous, basically, have disappeared, now giant trees, most of them live in the mountains of southern Sichuan, if you want to transport them from a long distance, This time is very large, and such a freight fee alone is an astronomical amount.

Dinghai invented cement, and combined with red bricks and cement, even if it is a retro practice, it saves a lot of wood, not to mention, on the original foundation, there are some buildings similar to Dinghai's characteristics.

The central axis of the entire palace is the three major halls behind the Zhengyang Gate, which are based on the tradition of the Northern Song Dynasty, plus the three major halls that Zhao Xin saw from the Forbidden City.

Compared with before, the imperial palace of the Northern Song Dynasty is at least 10 times larger, especially the huge square in front of the imperial palace, which is almost tens of thousands of square meters.

However, the feeling of the form of these palaces is higher than the actual use, and even if it is a court meeting, unless it is a grand court meeting held every half a month, and the Beijing officials have more than 4 grades, otherwise, most of them are held in other palaces.

The current three major halls are only huge on the surface, and they are just the face of a country, and the real affairs are placed in the inner palace, the East Mansion and the Privy Council, which are next to the palace and have a fixed office location.

Enough to accommodate hundreds of people, in the imperial palace, Renzong also has a place called the inner study.

This newly built East Mansion, the Privy Council and the Inner Study, because it is the actual core of the Northern Song Dynasty, did not choose the form of the palace, the office conditions are not good, and the efficiency is not high, but it looks more majestic.

At the suggestion of Zhao Xin, Han Qi himself verified and found the structure of the Dinghai Navy's house, and the construction carried out, to put it bluntly, is somewhat similar to some structures of the Great Hall of the People in later generations, divided into a large number of conference rooms and offices.

It can carry out some meetings of 3,000 people, 2,000 people, and hundreds of people, and at the same time, the office also refers to the form of later generations, some small and medium-sized offices, plus some small conference rooms, one floor can accommodate hundreds of people for office, almost 7 floors of structure, enough to accommodate thousands of people to work together.

You know, in the past, the huge Dongfu was divided into several different courtyards, but the underground structure was relatively messy, and there were even cases where subordinate officials could not be found between departments and between various governors.

Divided into floors, the office area was strictly divided, and then according to the results of the meeting, the selection of the conference room, a governor may only sit on one floor, this floor, almost all of them are for him, and then need to vote in the end, and then meet together.

This creates a pyramid-like structure, with layers of responsibility and increased efficiency.

Of course, similar to these three institutions, it is not just one building, in order to consider it in the future, at least 12 buildings have been planned, which have been built in advance, but they have not been renovated and occupied, and now, each structure is only two or three buildings, which is enough to accommodate the huge personnel and institutions of the three major institutions.

At present, the three adjacent institutions of the Inner Study, the East Mansion and the Privy Council have become the real core of the Northern Song Dynasty, and many daily things are classified and processed through various institutions here, and then after removing the false and retaining the true, they are summarized to the high-level, and then enter the inner meeting layer by layer.

The territory of the Northern Song Dynasty has not increased much, and the clouds add up to only hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, which has increased the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty by one-seventh, far from the extent of doubling, but because of the emergence of various new things, the physical objects handled by Renzong have increased a lot.

The reason why the Northern Song Dynasty was able to solve the problem of Kangguan is that many fields have been designed, and these fields are all new fields, and most of these fields and things that happen are new things.

However, after classification, especially the appearance of the inner study, as well as the expansion of the East Mansion and the Privy Council, some low-level, or less important matters, were dealt with by them separately, and the problems were reported layer by layer, and when it came to Renzong, there was not much left, so the increased workload was also increasing.

Renzong is not a lazy emperor, he is relatively diligent, but he has increased the workload by three times or even four times, which is also a little unbearable for Renzong.

Renzong is a person, not a machine, in terms of this number, even if it is 24 hours, it has not stopped, and it may not be able to deal with so much, under Zhao Xin's point, the method of decentralization is adopted, and Renzong needs to be dealt with through the inner study, and most of their work is classified and summarized, and things are prioritized and divided into step by step, and placed in front of Renzong.

There are layers of systems, grading and processing, this time so that everyone will not abuse their power too much, and will be more flexible to deal with problems, although it is said that the daily affairs of the Northern Song Dynasty have increased a lot, but to deal with it, it is much easier, and even sometimes, when Renzong is willful, he can also do nothing.

, Han Qi is such a slaughter, he can directly meet Renzong, according to the rules, handed the sign in the inner study, and soon, he got the news, and Renzong was waiting for him in the purple light hall of the inner study.

The Purple Light Palace, which is considered to be in the inner study, is a relatively large palace, and the Privy Council and the East Mansion are mainly different, the inner study has only one antique building, which is only 5 floors high, and the rest are large and small palaces, according to the different sizes of the palaces, different meetings are also carried out.

For example, the Winter Nuan Pavilion is a place where Renzong deals with daily transactions and recruits courtiers on a small scale, and the Qilin Pavilion is a place to participate in the governor's political affairs conference, which can accommodate at least 30 people, and the Purple Light Hall is much more, and it can almost be summoned on a large scale, mostly used to deal with major events, or a certain field, and the number of people can be accommodated between 50 and 70 people.

Han Qi estimated before that it should be in the Qilin Pavilion, and the Purple Light Pavilion was almost twice as large, which meant that there were many people involved, and they almost had to include all the important ministers in the court.

Obviously, the previous letter gave them great pressure and influence, so that all the governors and important ministers arrived.

In the Purple Light Palace, Renzong and the entire governors and scholars in Beijing were all waiting, and they were concentrated much earlier than Han Qi.

When Han Qi arrived in Bianliang, Renzong knew that through a simple flag and the railway station, he could inform the center of something, for example, Han Qi was on land, and the news about Han Qi's arrival had been transmitted to the palace.

In the past few days, the discussion about the Dinghai Navy has always been the most important thing in the entire Northern Song Dynasty political arena, the Dingjun, this force that suddenly appeared and posed a huge threat to the Northern Song Dynasty, when all the high-ranking officials gathered together, they found that they knew very little about the Dinghai Navy, and some shallow things were known to everyone, but no one knew about the deeper ones.

At present, the Northern Song Dynasty continues to expand, and all aspects are developing very well, even if it is the Liao State that was feared before, it has also been taken by the Northern Song Dynasty, and the remaining Liao State, although the land is huge, as long as the Northern Song Dynasty stabilizes, the future victory must be the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the Privy Council, the uncompromising Jia Chaochang is even doing a plan to attack the Liao State a few years later, and the same plan is also available in the East Mansion, but it is not as convenient as the West Mansion.

At this juncture, the Ding Navy came out, took the Liao State with lightning speed, and took the entire territory of the Liao State in 20 days.

Ding Navy, this has been a famous name in recent years, but they are not strong at all, they are just rich.

But who would have thought that this would suddenly become a fierce beast and swallow the Liao State in one bite, which is very terrifying, whether it took 100% of their strength to take the Liao State, excess strength, or one-half, one-third, this is very important.

The high-level officials of the Northern Song Dynasty tried their best to investigate everything in the navy through various channels, but the process of this investigation was not something that could be obtained in a short period of time, and in order to determine the degree of secrecy of the navy, I am afraid that it would not take a few years, so I don't want to get more information.

Now, for the Northern Song Dynasty, what they know most about the Dinghai Navy is actually the letter written by Zhao Xin.

The development of the Dinghai Navy, far beyond their imagination, almost as huge as blowing a balloon, in Zhao Xin's letter to Renzong, they only had a preliminary understanding of the power of the Dinghai Navy, 35 million population, which has almost accounted for one-third of the population surveyed in the Northern Song Dynasty, if it is just like this, it is not terrible, the population in a certain sense, does not mean anything, 100 unarmed young and strong, can not beat 10 fully armed soldiers.

After the uprising, the peasant army initially relied on a huge number, a hundred times, or even more with a professional army, to be able to gradually sweep away, and after continuous training, it captured enough weapons and piled up elite soldiers with human lives before it could shake the foundation of the dynasty.

These do not exist for the Ding Navy, maybe the Ding Navy has no experience, but in terms of weapons and equipment, it is the Northern Song Dynasty that occupies a disadvantage.

The output value of the navy is 10 times that of the Northern Song Dynasty. With one-third of the population, I don't know how much one-third of the land, but created ten times the output value of the Northern Song Dynasty, although money can not represent everything, but money can do a lot of things.

Now, in addition to owning their own land, they have also obtained the land of Liao, which itself is strong, but the nomads are not good at management, if you add the management of the Dinghai, population and resources, what will it become.

This is a big trouble, if they are hostile to the Northern Song Dynasty, how should the Northern Song Dynasty resist, this has to be guarded against, under the premise that there are no more other channels, this time the Dinghai Navy will show its muscles in front of Han Qi, and it will become the only way to relieve the Dinghai Navy.

Perhaps, there will be some uncertainty in the action of such bright muscles, and the power he shows will have a certain deviation, but the value of reference can be obtained from the middle.

Governors, these days, in addition to discussing the navy, they are waiting for Han Qi to come back.

When Renzong got the news of Han Qi's arrival, the Privy Council of the Eastern Mansion also got the news one by one, and under Renzong's notice, all the important ministers arrived, even including Zongzheng, although there were not many people, there were only 67 in total, but it involved all the high-level officials of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and the resolution they reached together could be implemented in the Northern Song Dynasty almost without any obstacles.
