Shangjing, Imperial Palace, Funing Palace.

The lights in the hall flickered, and more than 200 red candles were lit. A group of ministers of the Shangjing Political Affairs Hall headed by Cai Jing and a group of fire cavalry generals led by Guo Kai knelt in front of Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was sitting on the dragon bed, naked, and a long sword wound on his chest was particularly eye-catching, and the imperial doctor was cleaning the wound with salt water for Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji frowned, I don't know if it's because of the pain on the ** or because of the psychological pain. The white-clothed assassins came and went without a trace, treating the heavily guarded imperial city as their own backyard, and their own iron wall guards were all wiped out, and Zhao Ji was furious.

"How many casualties?" Zhao Tie asked with a blushing face.

"All were lightly wounded, and no one was killed. It was left behind by the Assassins. Guo Kai, one of the top ten generals, handed over a piece of paper.

Zhao Ji took it with his right hand, and saw two lines of words written on the paper: If the official family, I will go back and ask the master, and the head will be placed on your neck for the time being.

"Who the hell is he? Give me an investigation, a thorough investigation! Be sure to capture him alive! Zhao Ji stood up and threw out the white paper, and shouted loudly, and the herbs that had just been dressed on the wound fell down.

"The assassin should be from Baiyitang, and Weichen has sent a letter to the two national teachers, asking them to select a group of Shaolin Kongzi warrior monks and Zhaoying Palace mages to come here." Cai Jing replied apprehensively.

Zuo Guoshi is the Zen master of repaying grace, the monk that Zhao Ji met when he inspected Jiaozi City. The Buddhist Shaolin Temple Bao'en Zen Master was canonized by Zhao Ji as the Left National Teacher, and the Taoist Zhaoying Palace Ziyang Immortal was canonized as the Right National Teacher, respectively, presiding over the redundancy of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism.

In the second year of Xining, the total number of monks and nuns of the National Taoist Female Champion (Female Taoist) in the Great Song Dynasty reached more than 600,000, and the number of temples and palaces reached more than 40,000. The weight of redundant monks exceeds that of redundant officials. The task of abolishing the redundant order to lay off ninety percent of the redundant monks was given to the two of them.

Ziyang Zhenren, commonly known as Zhang Boduan, was born as a Jinshi, served as a staff member and an official, and then entered the Tao from Confucianism, Xining preached in Chengdu in the second year, and became famous for a while. Su Shi is a native of Chengdu Mansion and recommended Zhang Boduan to preside over Taoist affairs. In January of the third year of Xining, Zhao Ji officially canonized him as the palace master of Zhaoying Palace and the national teacher of the Great Song Dynasty.

"White Clothes Hall?" Zhao Ji sat down again, and the imperial doctor hurriedly gave Zhao Ji medicine.

"Baiyitang is a branch of Mingjiao. Mingjiao is a sect that originated in Persia, originally known as Manichaeism, also known as Zoroastrianism, and Zoroastrianism. During the Tang Dynasty, it was the main sect in the Western Regions, but after the Tang Dynasty lost the Western Regions, Zoroastrianism was attacked by the Tianfang Sect (Islam) and gradually developed eastward. Because of its admiration for light, it was called Mingjiao after it was introduced to Middle-earth. The ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty mostly believed in Mingjiao, and if calculated according to the number of believers, Mingjiao could be regarded as the first sect of the Great Song Dynasty. Cai Jing restlessly stated the situation of Mingjiao.

Cai Jing had to pinch and not sweat, if Zhao Ji had an accident in Shangjing, although it would not be his turn to lose his head, his career would be over.

"Mingjiao? Convey my will to the Bianjing Political Affairs Hall and thoroughly purge the Ming Sect. In addition, the two national teachers also vigorously assisted. I don't want to see Ming Christians in the Great Song Dynasty again. Zhao Ji stood up again and yelled.

Zhao Ji didn't expect that the power of the Ming Sect would develop so quickly. Fang La, the leader of the southeastern peasant uprising during the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, was a Ming Christian, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was also a Ming Christian. Mingjiao is a very tightly organized sect, which makes Zhao Ji dare not take it lightly.

"Cleaning? Holy one, no! The main altar of Mingjiao is in Kunlun Mountain in the territory of Huangtou Hui in the Western Regions, and the Great Song Dynasty whip is beyond reach! Moreover, there are more than 100,000 Ming followers in the Great Song Dynasty, and this purge will cause the people of the Great Song Dynasty to die, but it will attract a big report from the Ming Sect. Cai Jing discouraged.

"Then bring the Ming Sect Master first, and I want to see it. Let the Bianjing Political Affairs Hall prepare first, and if the Ming Sect leader does not come, then it will be completely purged and the Ming Sect will be banned from preaching in the Great Song Dynasty. Stand down! Zhao Ji was in a heavy mood, and he almost lost his life today.

After the imperial doctor took care of the wound, Zhao Ji fell asleep, really physically and mentally exhausted.

The fire cavalry took over the task of the iron arm guard, surrounded the Funing Hall like an iron bucket, and Cai Jing transferred another thousand joint defense troops into the palace to garrison, and now mosquitoes can't fly into the palace.

・・・・・・・・・

Early the next morning, as if the incident of last night had not happened, Zhao Ji convened the ministers of the Shangjing Political Affairs Hall in the Chongzheng Hall to discuss the matter of developing the Liuqiu.

Weichen thinks that the biggest difficulty in developing the flow is in this strait. Taking advantage of this natural danger, the water thieves entrenched in Liuqiu often attacked the maritime merchants who went to Quanzhou and Hangzhou to trade. Cabinet group auxiliary, maritime businessman Li Shanghai pointed to the Taiwan Strait between the mainland and Liuqiu and said.

In order not to offend the Bianjing Political Affairs Hall, Cai Jing asked Zhao Ji that it was better to call the Political Affairs Hall in Beijing the cabinet, and Zhao Ji thought about it and agreed. In fact, Zhao Ji still thinks that the name of the cabinet is good, but it is a pity that the ministers like Bianjing feel that the name of the cabinet has turned the ministers into the emperor's staff and lowered their status, and finally changed the name back.

The difficulties and natural dangers that Li Shanghai refers to are actually the Taiwan Strait, which was later known as Heishuigou. In Fujian, because of the large number of people and the lack of land, as well as harsh politics and wars, the people of southern Fujian began to cross the ocean and immigrate to Penghu, Taiwan and other places, forming the ** of "Tangshan passing through Taiwan".

In this process, the people need to force their way across the Taiwan Strait, which is turbulent and turbulent, and is known as the "Black Water Ditch" because of its turbulent black current and frequent shipwrecks. In Heluo and Hakka, there is a folk song "The Tragedy of Crossing Taiwan", which says that "six deaths, three stays and one turn back", which means that among the ten people, six people died in "Heishuigou", three stayed in Taiwan, and one returned to the mainland because he couldn't stand the barbarism of Taiwan.

In the early and late Tang Dynasty, because of the war, northerners began to immigrate to Minyue in large numbers, and even continued to move south, and there were many people who went to Liuqiu and Jiaozhi (northern Vietnam).

"How many water thieves are entrenched in the stream? How did they cross the Strait of Liuqiu? What's going on with the Black Water Ditch? Zhao Ji asked.

"There are more than 30 water thieves, and the largest group is the chicken coop village, which is entrenched here. They have their own shipbuilding workshops, and large ships, although there are not many, are very practical. The black water ditch is a strong ocean current with whirlpools. You have to have a big boat, and you have to cross it when the wind is strong, otherwise you will be swept away by a whirlpool. The boats of Jilongzhai adopted a technique from the Tang Dynasty, and their large boats easily crossed the Heishui ditch. Li Shanghai pointed to the map and explained.

"Chicken Coop Village? How many of them are there? "Zhao Ji didn't expect Liuqiu to have such a head snake.

"Twenty thousand. If you add the barbarians who were conquered by them, it is estimated to be more than 50,000. However, they lack iron and food, and perhaps because of the large population, life is much more bleak than that of other water thieves. I once asked the Fuzhou Governor for attachment, but because the Fuzhou Governor wanted them to move back, there was no follow-up in the end. If this group of water thieves can be recruited, the chicken coop village will become the front station for the development of Liuqiu, which will have many benefits for speeding up the development of Liuqiu. Li Shanghai suggested.

"Fifty thousand? The tricks of the Tang Dynasty? Zhao Ji fell into deep thought.

The shipbuilding industry in the Tang Dynasty was more developed than in the Song Dynasty? Zhao Ji couldn't figure it out. He graduated with a major in history, and he is trying to recall what he learned in later generations, what characteristics of the shipbuilding industry in the Tang Dynasty were, and what outstanding performances the Tang Dynasty had.

"The current of the Heishuigou is very fast, and the ordinary sailboat is not powerful enough to break through. It must be a big ship with multiple sails. And you have to get through it when the wind is strong. But when the wind is strong, it is also the time when the wind and waves are at its highest, and it is very dangerous. The water thieves of Jicoop Village, their boat has a mechanism, which can be driven by manpower, which can speed up by half, and it is easy to break through the black water ditch. However, they don't have many ships with traps. I had to cross the black water ditch with the device of a vehicle and a boat, and there were many water wheels on both sides, but it had to be driven by a lot of manpower, and it was not as good as their mechanism. Wechen was a maritime merchant and wanted to trade a boatload of pig iron for their tricks, but they refused. Seeing that Zhao Ji didn't speak, Li Shanghai thought that he didn't understand enough, so he added a few more words.

"Uh, Cai Shoufu, didn't I say that if you can dedicate your family's unique craftsmanship, after being approved by the four universities, you can directly enter the four universities and give you an official status? How many people have donated their family craft? Didn't anyone in our Great Song Dynasty understand this kind of trick? Zhao Ji didn't believe that advanced navigation technology would be in the hands of a group of pirates.

"This, this, Weichen is not very clear." Cai Jing said ashamedly.

Cai Jing broke out in a cold sweat, it seems that this Shoufu is not good. It seems that you have to think carefully about what this official family has been thinking all day?

"And what do you know? Send a decree to the Bianjing Political Affairs Hall, ask them to count it, find out if there is such a capable person, find out, and immediately arrange to send it to Shangjing. You are also in Beijing to announce to the world, I want to post a list to recruit talents, and those who understand shipbuilding technology will be given official status immediately. Dedicated to the shipbuilding craftsman, bestow the knight. Go ahead and arrange it now. Zhao Ji was irritable and had the urge to build an internal combustion engine.

A lot of time-traveling texts, always trying to get a steam engine. In fact, anyone who really understands technology knows that the internal combustion engine is easier to build and much more practical than the steam engine. If you really understand the technology and can build a steam engine, then you don't need the technical transition of the steam engine at all, and you can directly build an internal combustion engine.

After some consideration, Zhao still gave up working on internal combustion engines. First, there is no time to do it, in the Great Song Dynasty, so the technology is all from scratch, and it can't be done for decades. If you want to play a role, it will be another few decades, and at that time, Zhao Ji is also old.

The emperor is not engaged in technology, and a highly skilled scientist cannot change an era. Only through policies, supporting technology research and development, gathering talents in this area, and forming cultural traditions, can we truly promote the development of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Yes. Wechen retired. Cai Jing depressedly withdrew from the Chongzheng Palace.

"This is the state and county to be established when I plan for development, you can refer to it. What is there to add, it can be said. Zhao Ji took out what he had written last night.

"Shengshang, Huguang area, located in the south, miasma and damp heat. Liuqiu is located in the same position as Huguang, and this is mostly the case. Wechen suggested that more herbs should be prepared to prevent diseases. If you don't adapt to the climate of Liuqiu, because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, and the plague appears, it will be dangerous. Fan Chunren said as he handed over the note.

Zhao Ji took the song, quickly browsed it, his face was cloudy, and said, "Alas. The speed is a little slower, but it is also helpless. Just do what Fan Qing's family wants! Starting from the chicken coop village, the immigration is gradually promoted. The cabinet will take Fan Qingjia's plan as the standard and discuss the specific rules. Alright, you all go down and get busy! ”

"Wait for the resignation!" The cabinet ministers seemed to be very irritated when they saw Zhao Ji, and they all pondered that it might be caused by last night's incident, and they didn't want to say anything more.

The ministers were about to withdraw from the Chongzheng Palace, when suddenly a voice came from outside the hall: "Military report!" Military newspaper! ”

"Report! Quanzhou Naval Division, in the Liuqiu Strait and the water thieves fierce battle, the whole army was annihilated, General Xue Yi, whereabouts unknown. A soldier ran into the Chongzheng Palace, gave a military salute to Zhao Ji, and reported.

"What?"

"What's going on?"
