Chapter 12 Geography
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the sky is fluttering with crystal snowflakes, and the cold winter of Bianjing is shrouded in it. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info\. qb5/
In the forbidden middle of the imperial city, Zhao Lei braved the wind and snow and was walking in the direction of the prince's dormitory, he only returned to Bianjing from Xifu yesterday, and he was in such a hurry to rush back to Bianjing, just because the prince's concubine had to bear the responsibility of education.
On the fourth day of the first month, Zhao Zhen's only son Zhao became the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and the prince Taifu set up seven at once, after the fourth afternoon of the first month, the prince officially moved into the East Palace to become the prince, and the prince Du Yan also began to exercise the responsibility of the prince, and taught the prince a treatise on the evening of the fourth day of the first month, and a few days later, the prime minister Wang Su, the governor Wang Yiyong, Zheng Jian, the three envoys Ye Qingchen, and the privy envoy Song Qi each took turns teaching the prince's homework one day, and on the tenth day of the first month, it was finally Zhao Lei's turn to teach the prince.
In the past few days, the north wind has been roaring, the cold snow is flying, and Zhao Lei, who has braved the wind and snow to return to Bianjing, has been thinking about what kind of knowledge he can teach the future emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the current crown prince Zhao.
Zhao Lei is very miscellaneous, he knows a little bit of everything, but he is not proficient in anything, he was not a good student at all in his last life, he was a good hand in fights and brawls, otherwise he would not have been admitted to college to become a soldier, the knowledge of medical skills, all depends on the influence of the family, he went to be a soldier in the second year of high school, and he can teach the knowledge to the prince of the Northern Song Dynasty, there is really not much.
What to teach! Mathematics! Forget it, the math exam in the previous life has always been struggling on the passing line, and now more than ten years have passed, and a lot of knowledge has been erased by time, not to mention that the mathematics exhibition of the Great Song Dynasty has been at the peak of feudal society, and there are many contents in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" that I can't understand, let Ye Qingchen teach this subject! Zhao Lei walked on the way to the East Palace, and thought of it with some embarrassment.
Chinese! It's a bit embarrassing to say. Zhao Lei can't read a lot of traditional Chinese books in the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Lei, a bunch of literary masters in the Northern Song Dynasty, can't do anything about dancing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.
If you teach the prince English, will it be a little ridiculous, the second leader of the Great Song Dynasty, the future emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, what is the use of learning English, it is estimated that he will not be able to use it for the rest of his life.
Physics, Chemistry! can teach a little, but Zhao Lei doesn't know much, and even fewer can hand it over to the prince.
Come and think about it. The knowledge mastered by the people of the Northern Song Dynasty is not much less than that of Zhao Lei, the only thing lacking is the precipitation of thousands of years of history and some cutting-edge technology, but those cutting-edge technologies such as computers, missiles and the like, Zhao Lei has no way to get them, and Zhao Lei can't teach the prince the precipitation of thousands of years of history, so he is distressed!
When Zhao Lei saw the gate of the East Palace, he finally made up his mind after thinking for a long time to teach the prince the geographical knowledge of the earth first, after all, geography is the only knowledge that has not changed much in the millennium.
………………………………
"Chen Zhao Lei has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" In the study room of the East Palace, Zhao Lei respectfully said to the young and old prince of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Taifu is exempt!" After the New Year, he is already a ten-year-old prince. Sitting in the study, he replied to Zhao Lei very steadily.
In the study of the East Palace, except for Zhao Lei and the prince. There is also a chamberlain who serves the prince and a prince who lives in the court.
The living note is a seven-rank official in the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, which is divided into two positions: the emperor's living note and the prince's living note, and is mainly responsible for recording the words and deeds of the emperor and the prince.
After Zhao Lei and the prince greeted each other, he began to teach the prince's first class.
"I don't know why Taifu taught me?" The prince saw Zhao Lei coming empty-handed, without any books, and asked Zhao Lei very curiously.
"Knowing astronomy and knowing luck, knowing geography and knowing the country, today's ministers will teach His Royal Highness the geography of the Great Song Dynasty and even the whole world." Zhao Lei said loudly to the prince.
After Zhao Lei finished speaking, the prince walked down from the master of the study very smartly, and followed Zhao Lei to the professor's seat next to him. The two sat opposite each other, and in the middle were two low bookcases, and the four treasures of the bookcase were neatly arranged.
Seeing that the chamberlain beside the prince had already begun to study ink, Zhao Lei asked the prince with a smile: "Your Highness, do you know how many roads I have in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”
Zhao Lei's question made the prince a little confused. Although the crown prince is the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, he knows that the Great Song Dynasty is their Zhao family, but how many family backgrounds the Zhao family has. The prince really doesn't know very well, although the prince also knows the names of several roads in the Great Song Dynasty, but the specific number of roads is not something that the ten-year-old prince can understand.
"How many roads does Your Highness know?" Zhao Lei asked the prince again.
"I know that there are Jingxi Road and Jingdong Road near Bianjing, as well as Yongxing Military Road, which is the battlefield for fighting with Western Xia, and I also know that Luzon Road is the territory that the Great Song Dynasty has just conquered, and I don't know about other places." The ten-year-old prince, hearing Zhao Lei's question, began to answer with his fingers crossed.
"Good! His Royal Highness knows that the six roads of the Great Song Dynasty are already very good, and now the minister will carefully explain the various roads of the Great Song Dynasty to His Highness! Zhao Lei praised the prince with a smile and said.
Hearing Zhao Lei's praise, the prince was obviously very excited to grab the brush and wait for Zhao Lei's teachings.
"There are five roads in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, Qinfeng Road is connected to Tufan in the west, Xixia is connected to the north, Fengxiang Mansion is governed, and Xining, Lanzhou, Qinzhou, Minzhou, and Xizhou are under the jurisdiction of the five states.
Yongxing Military Road connects Xixia in the north, governs Yan'an Mansion, and governs the five states of Gyeongju, Weizhou, Linzhou, Fuzhou and Fengzhou.
Hedong Road, Hebei West Road, and Hebei East Road are all connected to the Liao State in the north, and are the front line of the anti-Liao resistance, and their governing places are Taiyuan Mansion, Zhending Mansion and Daimyo Mansion.
The North Fifth Road is the war-torn front line of our Great Song Dynasty, with more than 200,000 forbidden troops and more than 100,000 border troops
The five most important defenses. Zhao Lei said this, looked serious, nodded with a smile, and took a sip of the tea at hand.
"If the North Fifth Road is the most important military place in my Great Song Dynasty, then the Beijing Fourth Road is the most important political place in my Great Song Dynasty, the Beijing Fourth Road is Jingxi Road, Jingdong East Road, Jingbei Road and Jingnan South Road, and the four roads are Kaifeng Mansion, Yingtianfu, Yingchang Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion.
Sixteen guards of the forbidden army were stationed on the fourth road of Beijing, with 400,000 soldiers and horses distributed in various roads, plus Bianjing, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, its importance is self-evident.
Xisan Road is the weakest of the three roads in our Great Song Dynasty, Lizhou Road is barren in land, and there is not much production, all relying on Chengdu Fu Road. Xingyuan Mansion, with a population of about two million, is small and poor, and its strength is weak; Although Chengdu Mansion is rich, it has inconvenient transportation and difficult transportation, and it can support Lizhou Road in addition to self-sufficiency, and there is no hope for anything else, while Guangnan West Road is large and poor. The mountain road is rugged, sparsely populated, and it is a place for criminals, and these three roads can be described as the weakest roads in the Great Song Dynasty.
If the roads of the Great Song Dynasty are divided by geography, in addition to North 5th Road, Jingsi Road and West 3rd Road, there are only Nanjiu Road and Haiyi Road.
The so-called South Nine Road is the nine roads south of Jingsi Road, namely Huainan East Road in Yangzhou Prefecture, Huainan West Road in Luzhou Prefecture, Hubei Road in Jiangling Prefecture, Jiangnan East Road in Jiangning Mansion, Jiangnan West Road in Hongzhou Mansion, Liangzhejiang Road in Hangzhou Prefecture, Fujian Road in Fuzhou Prefecture, Guangnan East Road in Guangzhou Prefecture and Jinghu South Road in Tanzhou Prefecture.
Nanjiu Road is now the granary of the Great Song Dynasty, and the rice in the south of the Yangtze River that is twice or even three crops a year has become the main food for hundreds of millions of people in the Great Song Dynasty. Nanjiu Road can be described as the foundation of agriculture in the Great Song Dynasty, the most important thing!
In addition, Haiyi Road is the overseas Luzon Road that my Great Song Dynasty has just occupied. Now Luzon is already an important place for the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty, and the overseas trade of the Great Song Dynasty to the south has to pass through the Luzon Road, and the annual tax revenue of the Luzon Road alone has reached 30 million yuan, which is enough to feed all the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty. Speaking of this, Zhao Lei looked at the prince who was struggling to write, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness now knows how many roads I have in the Great Song Dynasty, right?" ”
Hearing Zhao Lei's inquiry, the prince stopped the brush in his hand, raised his head and replied to Zhao Lei: "North 5th Road, a military center in the north, Jingsi Road, a political center, the barren Xisan Road, South 9th Road in the granary of the Great Song Dynasty, plus Haiyi Road, a major commercial town. There were a total of twenty-two roads in the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Not bad! The Great Song Dynasty currently has 22 routes, 800,000 forbidden troops and 400,000 local troops, and a population of 110 million, maybe 20 million. His Royal Highness is interested in going to the household department to check, and the minister is not very clear about this issue. Zhao Lei said to the prince with a smile.
"The Great Song Dynasty has 22 roads and more than a million troops. With a population of more than 100 million, why can't they defeat the Western Xia, which has a population of only 10 million, an army of only 500,000, and a narrow territory and barren land? When the prince heard Zhao Lei's words, he raised his head and asked Zhao Lei puzzled.
Hearing the prince's question, Zhao Lei was slightly stunned, but he didn't know how to answer the prince, could it be that Song Taizu beware of the fact that the military generals and the national policy of emphasizing literature and ignoring military force caused the current military weakness of the Great Song Dynasty, if he really said so, I am afraid that he will be pushed out and cut by the official Zhao Zhen immediately, but in addition to this answer, will there be a second answer!
The prince's question is difficult to answer, even if the current Great Song Dynasty still focuses on defense in military affairs, and has not yet taken the initiative to attack, this is no longer a question of whether the weapons are advanced or not, but a question of the overall quality of the army and the political environment.
Zhao Lei, who was embarrassed, only changed the topic and asked the prince: "Your Highness now knows the general situation of my Great Song Dynasty, now let's talk about the situation of the countries around the Great Song Dynasty!" Does Your Highness know how many neighboring countries there are around my Great Song Dynasty? ”
"This father and I told me that the neighbors of the Great Song Dynasty are all evil wolves, the Western Xia is the evil wolf that is eyeing the tiger, the Liao State is the evil wolf that is fed by us, the Tufan is the old evil wolf, Dali is the evil wolf without claws and teeth, and the Yue Li Dynasty is the evil wolf that is growing up." The prince heard Zhao Lei's inquiry and replied to Zhao Lei ostentatiously.
"It's a very vivid metaphor!" Zhao Lei praised the prince with a smile and said.
"The main enemy of my Great Song Dynasty is still in the north, Tu Fan is a plate of scattered sand, Dali and Yue Li are all very weak, with less than 100,000 soldiers, so there is nothing to fear, and Xia Liao is the main enemy of my Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Lei looked at the prince and said with emotion.
"I know that when I grow up, I will definitely send troops to defeat the armies of Western Xia and Liao." The prince mentioned Western Xia and Liao, and said angrily waving his small fist.
"Good! It is a blessing for the country that His Highness has such ambitions, but such ambitions must be backed by a good body, so why don't I teach His Highness a set of boxing techniques! Zhao Lei looked at the prince who was waving his little fist and said with a smile.
Seeing the prince nodding excitedly, Zhao Lei pulled the prince out of the study, handed over a set of boxing techniques in the army in his previous life to the young prince, and asked the prince to insist on exercising every day.
After teaching the prince a set of boxing techniques, the sky is getting dark, Zhao Lei's first day of education class is over, this day Zhao Lei did not instill much useful knowledge to the prince, but a set of boxing techniques is enough to replace the prince's strong physique, if the prince can insist on exercising, a good physique and the willpower brought by insisting on exercising are enough for the prince to be used for a lifetime.
