"Great luck! Great luck! Do you have any specific plans, sir? Even if Wen Nan had a hundred more eyes and added up all the eyes of him and Wen Hao, he couldn't guess how vicious and dirty the royal plus teacher in front of him, who kept talking about cultural exchanges, would have such vicious and dirty thoughts in his heart. In his opinion, what Hong Tao wanted to do was greater than inventing cannons and sea ships, and spreading knowledge and discussing knowledge was the highest pursuit of scholars.

"Specifically, I plan to give public lectures in the navigation school on a regular basis, and if you like, you can also hold some seminars on a regular basis, so that you can talk about your ideas, who is right and who is wrong, and take it out to debate, do you think someone will come and listen? If you can't get a few cats and dogs in one class, then I won't be interested in talking about it! "If you want to ask Hong Tao what is the most powerful organ in his body, the mouth is the only answer. He would rather be blind and deaf than be dumb, and the world where he cannot speak is his end. Hong Tao didn't worry about what to say, he could talk for a few hours without the script, prepare for class a little, and say that there was no problem for the first half of the day, as long as he gave water to drink. But whether anyone comes to listen is a big question, the emperor personally went out, and there are fewer people and it is very faceless.

"No, no, don't worry, sir, as long as you are willing to start the class and allow outsiders to listen, I guarantee that the classroom will only be overcrowded by then. I can't guarantee others, Wen Hao and those people will definitely come, according to Da Song's habits, they will definitely pull their friends. If these gentlemen are not enough, I can go to Lin'an again to pass on the things that Your Majesty said, there is more than one person in the court who reads your book, although everyone has different evaluations of Mr., but I think they all want to come and listen to your teachings in person. Hong Tao's arrangement made Wen Nan overjoyed, which was better than he expected. Originally, he thought that the emperor was going to play the ticket again, but now it seems that his husband is really going to go into battle shirtless, and he doesn't know which tendon is not to deal with, it was difficult to persuade him to teach two more classes before, and now he wants to rush up.

"Oh, then I'll be relieved, but to be on the safe side, I'll pull in a few allies. You are going to publicize it like this, not only me is lecturing this time, but also many scholars from the Great Qin Kingdom and the Great Food Country, teaching topics...... Let's take the Great Qin Kingdom as the topic, and let me tell you what the Great Qin Kingdom is like! According to Hong Tao's chicken thief character, even if Wen Nan gave a guarantee, he would not be at ease, in order to prevent the cold scene at that time, he planned to bring a few more foreign scholars with him.

Saeed is currently in Port Kalamba, and the exchange scholars with him are still in Guangzhou and Quanzhou, so it is not difficult to take over. As for the topic of the lecture, he originally wanted to focus on how to limit imperial power, but he was afraid that this topic would be too exciting for the Great Song scholars, so he changed it to introduce the Great Qin State, so that it was easy to bring out the problem of imperial power.

"Good, that's good! Your Majesty will set a date, and Nan will go back to the Great Song Dynasty to wave the flag and shout for Your Majesty! As soon as I talked about this issue, Wen Nan didn't have any hard work, and he had to leave again as soon as he came back, and he couldn't wait to start talking tomorrow.

"Let's wait another two months, firstly, the school here has not yet been built, and secondly, we will leave everyone time to hurry. During this time, you should first assist Bo Jiao to sort out the affairs in the government, don't forget, I am no longer the Prime Minister of the Empire, what we just said is just our private chat, if you want to turn them into reality, you have to convince Bo Jiao first, then to convince other ministers, and finally to convince the parliament, you are busy! ”

"Yes, yes, yes...... It's Nan who is reckless. If Your Majesty has nothing else to order, I will go and prepare first, and tomorrow I will go to report to the Prime Minister, and by the way, I will mention these matters to him. Wen Nan patted his head, Hong Tao was right, even if everyone in the Great Song Dynasty wanted to come to the class, they had to leave someone time to hurry. And Hong Tao reminded him right, these things are just Hong Tao's thoughts, unlike when he was the prime minister, as long as a few people make a private match, a proposal can be formed, and now everything has to go through the procedure.

Continuing to help the Great Song train the new army and lending money to the Great Song court to buy more muskets, these two things quickly passed the approval of the parliament without any opposition. This is already the established national policy of the Jinhe Empire, and the benefits are obvious, they can figure it out without Hong Tao breaking it up and crumpling it and telling it to them. Today's legislators are no longer the old-fashioned patriarchs who were submissive, and after many elections, many of them have been replaced by younger, clearer-minded people who are more willing to fight for the interests of the communities they represent.

Although these people are not as radical, hot-blooded, and impulsive as the second generation of Jinhe Kingdom, they know how to pursue interests better than them. What better deal could be made than by selling weapons? Not only for the Great Song Dynasty, the musket is about to land in Japan, and there is also a tradition of infighting on that island country, even if there is no war yet, the empire will find a way to let them fight quickly. When the gun goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold, this is what Hong Tao said in the parliament back then, and now it has become the motto of many parliamentarians. Hong Tao not only used the navigation school to train a group of wolf cubs, but also used the council to train a group of warmongers.

It is said that some people are already privately pondering how to use the religious factions among the great cannibals to provoke war in the Arabian Peninsula, although the smelter, machine factory, and foundry are all state-owned enterprises at present, and individuals alone cannot afford to buy them in a short time, and it is not impossible for the government to sell them. But there are also many small workshops around these big enterprises that provide spare parts and services, which are not under the control of the imperial military industry. Once the demand for weapons skyrockets, so will these supporting services, and orders from these small workshops will come in like snowflakes. This money is not big at the national level, but if it is put in an individual's pocket, it can kill people!

Beginning in mid-September, newspapers in several coastal cities of the Southern Song Dynasty appeared in the news of the defeat of the new imperial army in Bianjing. These newspapers were also a kind of cultural invasion of the Southern Song Dynasty by Hong Tao, and now many people, whether they are peddlers or court officials, have the habit of reading a newspaper every few mornings, which can give them more information about the current situation, policies, and the price of goods. No matter what you specialize in, you can always find what you need in different newspapers.

After seven or eight years of development, newspapers have gradually formed an industry, and there are more than 10 different newspapers in the city of Guangzhou alone, which edit and publish newspapers with different priorities for different groups of people. But also derived a newer industry, the newspaper delivery person. These people who have no skills can now rely on their legs and carry several packets of newspapers on their backs every day to deliver newspapers to the homes of those who have ordered them, and earn a decent salary, at least enough to feed the family.

In order to meet the printing needs of so many newspapers, papermaking, casting lead, production and maintenance of printing presses, and manufacturing printing special inks have developed, and the economic benefits brought by this are difficult to accurately count, but the social benefits are obvious. Many homeless people now don't have to wander around and get into trouble, they can find a job with hard work, have a regular income every day, and the wages of those who are lucky and learn the craft quickly will be more generous. After working for a few years, you can buy a small house in the suburbs of Guangzhou, and then marry a daughter-in-law to settle here.

This kind of change is what any court wants to see, don't underestimate these displaced people, they will cost a lot of energy and financial resources of the court, if they can be digested by the people, it is equivalent to saving a lot of money from the treasury, why not be happy. As for saying that some of the remarks in these newspapers were not very popular, the court turned a blind eye and endured it. Anyway, this mouth of the Great Song people has never been idle, it can't be said that it is fun to scold the court, it is normal to scold a few words every once in a while, and everyone is used to it.

But this time it was a bit excessive, the imperial court did lose on the front line, but it was not the turn of the people to make irresponsible remarks, and even pointed out that it was because of the blind command of the imperial court that the bones of tens of thousands of soldiers were gone. What made it even more difficult for the court was that the news published in the newspaper was quite reliable, although it was not named, it was almost the same as the roll call, and it was almost repeated the speeches of each minister at the court meeting.

In this way, the reason for the defeat of this battle is clear at a glance, and the court has no way to divert its attention and make up nonsense.

If you just scold the imperial court, it doesn't matter, many newspapers don't scold, there are also praises, very high praises, but unfortunately not for the imperial court, but for the more than 10,000 soldiers who died on the front line, and they are almost said to be more than 10,000 Yue Xianggong.

This is a bit too embarrassing, on the one hand, it is to expose the shortcomings of the imperial court in every way, and on the other hand, it is to praise the dead soldiers, and compare the two, as long as you are not a fool, you will have such a feeling: It's not that our soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty can't succeed, it's not that our weapons can't be successful, and it's not that our war horses are not as many as the Mongols. The most important and only reason for the defeat was that the court was mediocre! If it weren't for the blind command of the imperial court, not only would these more than 10,000 soldiers not die, they would have already cheered in Bianjing City.

The most terrifying thing is that this kind of rebellious news spreads very quickly, and it is carried by newspapers printed with small print. Although these newspapers were only popular in coastal cities, with the circulation of merchants who were accustomed to reading newspapers, they could appear in any road, state, and county of the Great Song Dynasty within a month. As long as it is not a barren mountain and a place with extremely inconvenient traffic, there is a small newspaper on the road!
