Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

For the emperor suddenly summoned himself to Lin'an "court pair", Mao Geng did not expect, only seven or eight months to the Great Song Dynasty, finally in Xinhua there is a grass-roots situation, is currently in the stage of laying the foundation, suddenly to transfer himself to Lin'an, it is likely that this is to the Great Song Dynasty military industrial group "Ordnance Supervisor" to engage in technology, Mao Geng felt that to the Ordnance Supervisor, for the Great Song Dynasty to build all kinds of weapons is what he is willing to do, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to do according to his own ideas, and there are a lot of people who point fingers, plus low efficiency, the supporting facilities can't keep up, but it's not as solid as climbing the science and technology tree here little by little.

According to Chen Liang, Mao Geng could also choose not to be called, which was done by many literati in the Great Song Dynasty. Not only was he repeatedly called like Wang Anshi, but just last year, Zhu Xi also repeatedly resigned from the appointment of the imperial court on the grounds of foot disease. Xiaozong transferred Zhu Xi to be an officer of the military department, Zhu Xi should not be recalled, but he also wrote a long article on Xiaozong, the tone of which is like a teacher teaching a disciple. But Zhu Xi is a generation of Confucianism, and he has the capital to not be called, even if Lin Su impeaches Zhu Xi, he can't help Zhu Xi.

Mao Geng thought about it for a while, and felt that he still honestly went to Lin'an to "court right", he didn't have the arrogant capital of a maverick, in the Great Song Dynasty, where the literati were in power, he could only be regarded as a businessman at most, and any civil official could wear small shoes for himself, not to mention the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! Even if you have to go to work in the ordnance superintendent and build a "weapon of mass destruction" in this era with your own ability, you are still somewhat sure, but once that happens, it is impossible to be a big official, and it is impossible to make a lot of money, but then again, if you can build a state-owned enterprise for the Great Song Dynasty, it will not be in vain to come to the Great Song Dynasty.

Mao Geng pondered, this time to Lin'an, it is better to build artillery first, anyway, the gunpowder technology of the Great Song Dynasty has been generally mature, with the strategic weapon of cannon, the Great Song Dynasty can be invincible.

The plan in his heart has been decided, Mao Geng immediately decided to set off as much as possible, listening to Han Wu's words, it seems that Xiaozong does have the idea of Zen, in view of Xiaozong is the model emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, this Xiaozong Emperor must see it, if he rushes to Lin'an, Xiaozong has retired from the Zen position, it is definitely a very regrettable thing.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, a large number of people surrounded Baixi Wharf, and the onlookers focused on two things, one was that Mao Geng and Wen Yuan were going to Lin'an to "court pairs". As for what the "court pair" is, there are always different opinions, but after all, it is necessary to meet with the son today to talk about state affairs, which is a great thing, and even the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to Mr. Mao and Mr. Wen, which shows how capable Mao Wen is. In addition to paying attention to the two Mao Wen, the second focus of everyone's attention is that Dun Erbao will drive the boat to send the two Mao Wen, who are valued by the Son of Heaven, to Lin'an, which is a real voyage, much farther than the previous boat to Ezhou, and even the boatman can go to Lin'an, which can not help but make the people here in Baixi envious.

Dun Erbao sailed to Lin'an this time, it is two boats together, one is the luxury clipper of the Dun family, the last time Mao Geng balloon showed love, Su Zhiyan was on this clipper, but after learning that the transformation of water shipping was blocked, the ship was upgraded with the intervention of Mao Geng, first the bow and stern were equipped with a set of manpower winch, so that in case of danger, as long as you find a force fulcrum on the shore, you can use the manpower winch on the ship to control the boat. Another transformation is to install a propeller, as for the power, it is naturally driven by manpower, Mao Geng borrowed from the design of the later hand-cranked human-powered rail car, which can be driven by four people like a seesaw to pull the lever to drive the crankshaft connecting rod, and finally drive the propeller to rotate.

The woolen ship is only equipped with a manpower winch at the stern, the ship is full of building materials and some other things, carrying a ship of building materials is to build a model house in Lin'an, Mao Geng and Chen Liang discussed, regardless of whether Mao Geng will eventually stay in Lin'an, this time to Lin'an can not run in vain, just build a model house in Lin'an, and open up the Lin'an building market by the way.

As soon as Mao Geng Wenyuan left, everything on Xinhua's side was handed over to Chen Liang, Mao Geng had already arranged all aspects of the plan in the past two days, Chen Liang only needed to supervise, and it was not a big deal. As for the expenditure of accounts and money, Mao Geng entrusted Wang Qinyin, Wang Qinyin remembered the accounts clearly, and he was careful, so he could rest assured that he would hand over the financial power to her.

The day before, Mao Geng specially went to Su Mansion to say goodbye to Su Zhiyan, Su Zhiyan was a little reluctant to leave Mao Geng, but since it was summoned by the Son of Heaven, it was really a happy event with light on his face, although Su Zhiyan was reluctant, he was also happy for Mao Geng in his heart, but Mao Geng had not gone yet, and Su Zhiyan was looking forward to Mao Geng's return as soon as possible. When Mao Geng saw Su Zhiyan's affectionate appearance, he had an impulse in his heart, and wanted to invite Su Zhiyan to take a boat to Lin'an together. Then I realized that I hadn't made a trip to get married this year, so I dispelled this idea.

The people on the dock kept waving their hands, including Su Zhiyan, only Chen Liang looked indifferent, as if he was used to parting.

went to Lin'an with Mao Geng, as well as Tan Xiaochun and Huang Wangcai, the two of them can be regarded as the most senior disciples, Mao Geng doesn't know what tasks to complete in Lin'an, it's always good to bring two right-hand men.

The two boats went down the river, and when they encountered a dangerous beach, they used a human winch to hang the rope on a thick tree, or a large pile was made on the shore to fix the rope, and then controlled the rotation of the human winch to lower the boat little by little. With the winch, Dun Erbao was able to avoid the reef with his familiarity with the Zishui River, so the voyage was quite smooth. Mao Geng's journey can be regarded as a glimpse of the steepness of water navigation, in short, it is not as simple as imagined.

After Yiyang, it is the Dongting Lake area, and the two ships hang up their sails and sail to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

From Dongting Lake, Mao Geng's fast boat shook the lever, drove the propeller, sailed forward, and suddenly threw off the woolen boat and sailed to Lin'an first.

In the sixteenth year of Chunxi of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the twenty-ninth year of Jin Dading, at the beginning of the year, a major event was born, on the second day of the first month, Jin Shizong, known as "Xiao Yao Shun", died in Yanjing, and Jin Shizong's grandson Wan Yan Jing ascended the throne for Jin Zhangzong.

When the news came, Zhao Yan was first happy, and then worried. This has to start with the peace agreement reached by Song Jin, saying that after the fiasco of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, after several twists and turns, Song and Jin finally reached a peace agreement, because the Jin Emperor who succeeded the great joy of the great joy is the wise Jin Shizong, Jin Shizong realized that the Song Dynasty can neither destroy the Jin, nor the Jin can destroy the Song, if you want to fight for consumption, maybe the Jin can not fight the Song. But after all, it was the Great Song Dynasty that was defeated, and although the final peace agreement was signed was reduced by 100,000 yuan, the Great Song Emperor had to call the Great Jin Emperor his uncle.

Now the problem comes, Jin Shizong was fine when he was alive, because Jin Shizong was a few years older than Song Xiaozong, and Zhao Yan felt that it was reasonable to call him an uncle. But the crown prince of Jin Guo hung up at the age of 41 ten years ago, and now Jin Shizong left first without saying a word, and the successor was Jin Shizong's grandson Wan Yan Jing, Wan Yan Jing was only twenty years old, and the generation difference was two generations, but according to the original peace agreement, Zhao Yan, who was in his sixties, wanted to call the twenty-year-old Wan Yan Jing his uncle. Think about it, to call grandpa uncle, to call his grandson uncle, what kind of generation is this! It's a mess! This is called Zhao Yanren, how can he be embarrassed!

On this day, Zhao Yan was quite entangled, but the two countries still exchanged courtesies, Jin Shizong died, Jin Zhangzong ascended the throne, and the Great Song Dynasty at least said that there must be, and the national letter could not avoid the title issue, Zhao Yan thought of this painful thing, and felt that he deserved to be the emperor, but he had nowhere to vent, so he had to sulk silently.

Fortunately, a news from the eunuch newspaper diverted Zhao Yan's attention, Mao Geng and Wen Yuan were summoned to Lin'an, Zhao Yan couldn't help but think, my Great Song Dynasty's hot air balloon has not yet risen, Jin Shizong has ascended to heaven, is it because he is afraid of this artifact!

But as soon as Zhao Yan counted the time, he said in his heart that this Mao Geng Wenyuan and the two of them came so quickly! These two people are so enthusiastic, they won't have the idea of taking one step to the sky!
