Chapter 105: The Huaxia Alliance
Zhao Ji thought of this. There are only two classes that are eager for overseas land. Soldiers and workshop owners. All wars are plunder. Soldiers are best suited to act as spearheads for overseas expansion. Workshop owner. Not only cheap labor is needed. There is a greater need for cheap raw materials. Many of the minerals in the Great Song Dynasty were very poor. In particular, copper-iron ore.
The Great Maritime Discoveries. It was before the Industrial Revolution. The Great Voyage. The main thing is also in the improvement of ocean-going sea vessels. Da Song still has shortcomings in this regard. However. Sinbad's time has come. Big food can cross the ocean. Don't talk about the Great Song Dynasty. Perhaps the navigation technology of the Great Song Dynasty is now compared with that of Spain and Portugal in the Age of Discovery. There is still a certain distance. But. With the development of the Great Song Dynasty, the Golden State of Australia. Maritime trade is booming. Maritime academies have been established in four universities. The development of nautical technology is only a matter of a short period of time.
Shen Kuodu had already invented the nautical compass sextant chart drawing method. More and faster chapters are here. With the addition of the famous scholar Ansari of Great Food. New sea vessels will be released one after another. Sailing technology will be a rapid leap.
After the development of nautical technology. You can go to the Americas in search of high-yielding crops. However. The development of nautical technology is also a matter of at least one or two decades. It's a short time for the times. But for Zhao Ji's personal lifespan. But it's very long. Naturally, Zhao Ji will not be before getting the high-yield crops of the Americas. Let the Great Song Dynasty stagnate.
In addition to high-yielding crops. Agricultural technology is also a focus. Zhao decided to let the four universities set up research institutes of pesticides and fertilizers. Regardless of whether there is a breakthrough or not. Things still have to be done. On the other hand. Agricultural development should be made in an overall manner. Adapt to local conditions. Farm officers were appointed in every village. It is also important to guide agricultural production. Especially in the Southwest. Many of the advanced agricultural technologies that already exist are updated at the first time, and they are not mastered by farmers. The production experience of the peasants is there. But lack of experience. There is no condition to see technological advancement.
If it is said. The development of agricultural technology takes time. Personnel arrangements are very important. But. What Zhao Ji didn't expect was. Wen Yanbo has already done this at the meeting of the government hall.
Zhao Ji felt more and more the benefits of the four universities. I used to use a brush all the time. Zhao Ji, who came from later generations, has always been very uncomfortable. Now it's finally time to put on a fountain pen. The feeling of writing is just different.
The miasma of the flow and the lake is wide. Zhao Ji doesn't have to worry anymore. Because Jishi School has come up with a whole set of methods to prevent miasma. Medicinal tea drinking is certainly a major content. On the other hand. In the specific living details. The Jishi University has made provisions. For example, you can't drink raw water. It is forbidden to walk barefoot. Wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet. Household eating utensils should be steamed with boiling water. Hang a mosquito net before going to bed, etc. There is also a specific way to deal with the root cause of the miasma: the heavy use of sulfur. Lime disinfects the surrounding environment. Some of the denser forests were cut down. Ensuring a ventilated environment in the settlement. Some stagnant water that cannot be circulated is drained with waterwheels. Or bring in living water. All this is to prevent the miasma of the south. Reducing the epidemic of migrants has contributed.
Four universities. Because of Zhao Ji's order that a person with unique skills can enter the four universities. All research institutes are theoretical and practical research. A research team. There are people who have a belly of knowledge in the upper class. There are also people who later join with their practical expertise. Such a research team. Improve the production technology of all walks of life for Dasong. Deal with a wide range of issues. The first update provides guidance. Arguably. The four universities have become think tanks for the government. And this think tank does not yet need money from the treasury to support it.
Based on these considerations. Zhao Ji decided to realize the integrated development of the four universities and government halls of the workshop. The copper mines in the Golden State and the iron ore mines in Australia are a strong desire for the mill owners. And the four universities are supported by workshops. Naturally, it is also necessary to meet the development needs of the workshop. Then the government halls elected by the four universities will inevitably promote overseas expansion and development through military action. Comprehensively transform the current introverted culture of the Great Song Dynasty.
Of course. The people-oriented ideology of Confucianism is a very important idea. With the development of the Great Song Dynasty imperial examination system. Ordinary people will also have scholars who enter the upper class. This brought the people closer to the scholars. It shortened the distance between the emperor and the common people. The common people called the emperor an official. It's affectionately called. This shift in distance can be seen. Fourth, the implementation of the university education system. This distance has been shortened even more. Shortening of distances. It means the rise of the idea of freedom and equality. The fading of strict hierarchical notions.
Come to think of it. Zhao Ji also had to admire Sima Guang for a few years as the commander of the book city. He has made great contributions to the development of the four universities. I have to admire Sima Guang for continuing to build schools. Expand the articulation rate of students. Education-oriented. The idea that they will find their own way out after graduation.
In the Chongzheng Palace. Zhao Ji is constantly busy. Analyzing. Write down what comes to mind. Then let the four university halls. Let the Council discuss the feasibility of implementation. Zhao Ji was especially glad that he was able to cross over to this gentleman's temperament. The Northern Song Dynasty with a gentleman's demeanor. I'm glad that I was able to directly cross into the emperor. The first update can turn your ideas into reality.
"Holy." Li Xiang'an wanted to speak and stopped. Zhao Ji hasn't seen anyone these days. He knows. But. The ministers on the other side of the political hall had to invite Zhao Ji this time. Li Xiangan had no choice.
"Is it from the political affairs hall? Let him in. Zhao put down the pen. Stood up. Moved his stiff body.
Zheng Xia was very surprised that Zhao Ji was able to summon him. After walking into the Chongzheng Palace. Calm down. He arched his hand and said, "Holy Lord." The government hall has been arranged. Just wait for the saint to go up. This time the Eleven-nation alliance. The monarchs of all countries have arrived. And I've been waiting for more than a month. The Holy One is not present. I'm afraid it can't be combined. ”
"Eleven Nations. Isn't it the Ten Kingdoms. Zhao Ji asked.
The last time the capital was moved. The first update came to the monarchs of the nine countries. Plus the Great Song. Exactly ten countries. And now suddenly another country has popped up. Zhao Ji was surprised.
"The king of Champa has also arrived. Champa and Chenla are also feuds. Cochin was counterattacked by both countries. Hardly powerless after the war. separated Champa and Chenla. Champa and Cochin unilaterally negotiated peace. After Cochin agreed to return all the land of Champa and divide Chenla. The combined forces of the two countries suddenly attacked Chenla. Jinla was defeated. Su Shi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, received the king of Champong. Agree to his participation in the Huaxia Alliance. Zheng Xia explained.
Zhao Ji smiled. This result. It's not unexpected. Cochin and Champa are both seaside countries. Threatened by the Great Song Sailors. What is most needed is to expand the depth of the country. Even though Cochin captured the city. Nor can that be done. If we want to expand the depth of the country, we must destroy the real wax. Be the first to update
"Zheng Qing's family. What position do you occupy in the government hall now? Zhao Ji suddenly changed the topic and asked.
Zheng Xia. Zhao Ji knows. Historically. Wang Anshi's first resignation was because of this Zheng Xia. Zheng Xia was originally a student of Wang Anshi. Later, he was the same as Lu Huiqing. In order to try to improve. betrayed Wang Anshi. Zheng Xia presented the picture of the homeless people to Zhao Ji in history. It completely shook Zhao Ji's determination. In the end, Wang Anshi was deposed.
This year is exactly the sixth year of Xining. It's history. A year of large-scale locust plague in Shanxi, Hebei Province. It was also the year in history when Wang Anshi's reform was miscarried.
The current Zhao Ji is the Zhao Ji who came through time. This history is known. I am also worried that the locust plague will lead to the collapse of the government hall that was elected this time. The government hall that was elected in the first general election. If it falls like this. The impact was terrible. It may even affect the establishment of the government hall system.
Shen Kuo's weather forecasting system. A proposal to set up sky-watching stations in various places. It hasn't been implemented yet. Si Tianjian. The observatories of the four universities also did not issue warnings. This made Zhao Ji even more worried.
Zhao didn't know whether to remind the government hall to prevent this disaster. With the arrival of Zhao Ji. History has changed. The entire administrative system of the Great Song Dynasty was no longer so cumbersome. It's about being very capable. The locust plague originated in the Yanyun region of Northern Liao. Later, he went south to the Great Song Dynasty. If the local yamen is very capable. This plague of locusts will not survive at all.
But. You can't take it for granted. In case it comes. In case the weather forecast in this era is not good. The consequences are severe. But. Zhao Ji reminded the political affairs hall. That's the decree. This year, the administration of the Great Song Dynasty will revolve around disaster relief. More and faster chapters are here. This is very detrimental to the launch of the 10-year plan for the great governance of the world.
"Holy. Weichen served as the secretary of the political hall. Zheng Xia replied happily.
Registrar. There is no grade. It is from the officials. Mainly doing copywriting work in the government office. Although the position is low. But it's all big deals. Later, if it is released. It's Zhixian. With this origin. Promotions will be quick. But the secretary of the government hall. It is the reserve of the government and the country in the future.
Zhao Ji asked about Zheng Xia's position. For Zheng Xia. It was the Son of Heaven who paid attention to him. It will be promising in the future. This is for Zheng Xia. It's a thrilling thing for days.
"Hmm. When will the alliance of nations take place. Zhao Ji returned to his original topic.
"Just tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, a meeting of the Government Council will be held. I hope the Holy One will come. Zheng Xia replied very competently. Didn't take the opportunity to express himself.
Received a notice from Zheng Xia. Zhao Ji simply ate a little food at noon. After half an hour of sleep. And he went out of the palace. Come to the government hall in front of the right door.
In Bianjing. The royal streets of the inner city are lined with central government agencies. Now in Shangjing. The same is true. It's just that the name has changed. Originally, the location of the government hall was called Shangshu Province. After Zhao Ji formulated the government hall system. Shangshu Province was merged with Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province. The original three-province six-ministry system became a nine-ministry system.
The government hall is also a courtyard group. To the south of him are the courtyards of the various ministries. Further south is the courtyard group of the post station and the post station.
The post station and post station were originally called Duting Station. It is the highest level post station in the Great Song Dynasty post system. Later. The post post is separated. It was transformed from a government-run government to a private sector. The post station and the post station became a joint-stock institution similar to the merchant alliance counter. It's just to supervise the post post of the Great Song Dynasty. The actual power has shrunk a lot. Other words. Even if it is an official, he wants to enter the post station. You also have to spend your own money. The inn became a hostel.
Although the post station is very well run. But compared to the first floor in the world, it is still much worse. The monarchs of all countries who were supposed to live in the post house lived on the first floor of the world.
On the right side of the royal street are the Yuhua Palaces of the Shanghai Yamen Taoism. Buddhist Baoci Temple. There are also four councillors. Elsewhere in the inner city. They are the residences of the four universities and government officials. Although the main body of the four universities is in the inner city. But there is still a book city built outside the city. The four branches of the university in Shangjing were placed in the Junshi Book City outside the city.
Other words. Junshi Book City. Now there are three. They went to Beijing in Bianjing. and the future capital of Jiangningfu. Zhao Ji also intends to change the current five-capital system of the Great Song Dynasty.
Walk into the government hall. All the officials were busy. Only one Zheng Xia came to greet Zhao Xuan's arrival. Zhao Ji smiled. Walked in. In Zhao's opinion. Such a meeting may be the time to convene a court meeting
