Chapter 488: To turn the sky upside down
"Your Majesty, this is ......," a student from the academy explained its principle.
There are still many problems with the artillery that Song Jiu wants. However, research and development to this day, there are gradually some eyebrows. The reason for this is that compared with the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Europe, the basic science of the Song Dynasty was still very backward at this time.
An artillery gun involves a lot of basic knowledge and craftsmanship, so it is a lot of trouble.
Secondly, Song Jiu's requirements are relatively high.
The last reason is that Song Jiu entered the official career and did not have a good leader. Including Song Jiu himself, due to various reasons in his previous life, he was not very familiar with the knowledge of weapons.
What is artillery, this is a helpless thing, in the feudal era, the Northern Song Dynasty did a good job, including the mediocre Comrade Zhao Ji, who could not be regarded as a tyrant. In fact, without the crisis of Western Xia, the Song Shenzong in history would not have become seriously ill due to the defeat of the Northern Expedition of Xining, so he would not have died young. If Song Shenzong does not die, Comrade Gao Taotao, who is extremely praised by Jin Dashen, will not ascend to the throne, so Song Zhezong will not cover it when he is sick, causing Song Zhezong, who has made a difference, to die earlier. Then even Zhao Ji will not be on the throne.
In fact, there was no Western Xia, and the Khitan consumption also consumed them to death.
But the military has always been a weakness of the Song dynasty.
For example, in the Northern Song Dynasty in history, if there was no Western Xia and Khitan force, and the Southern Song Dynasty did not have the Jin State and Yuan Meng, what would it be, and would it tolerate the existence of Jiaozhi and Dali. Or like the Ming Dynasty, what would have happened if there had been no Tatars, Jurchens?
If it is in Song Jiu's hands, the advanced artillery is developed, then this mature technique can be used next. Rear firing rifle march. With these two things, the cavalry will be useless.
But there has been no progress.
Fortunately, with all kinds of research and development. Bring a variety of advanced techniques and promote them to other fields. Including metallurgical technology, casting technology.
Thus the foundation was laid for the emergence of a second thing, the steam engine.
This is called having a heart to carry flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows.
With the advent of the steam engine, and then using the technology of these years, a relatively cumbersome water pump was developed.
Zhao Kuangyi visited this steam engine and water pump.
Looking at it, almost all the officials knew its significance, and without the conjecture written in Song Jiushu, with it, the textile machine could be greatly improved. Even in the future, trains will be introduced to ships, so that large ships will be able to sail at any time of the day without the help of the monsoon. As well as printing and dyeing, metallurgy, and mining, it can be used to improve efficiency.
If nothing else, let's talk about the current one.
Irrigation has always been the biggest headache for the country, although Song Jiu moved the cylinder cart, and it has been gradually improved over the years. There are even more advanced wind-powered carts, but there are too many limitations. Either that's just an ordinary waterwheel.
Think about it, the current planting industry is still a situation of extensive planting and thin harvest, and the crops of the later generations of Song Jiu are often calculated as 1,000 kilograms per acre. Equivalent to twenty-one stones! However, now that the two seasons are five or six stones together, then it is high and productive, higher than Mount Everest.
Therefore, an ordinary family needs at least thirty or forty acres of land to meet food and clothing.
Thirty or forty acres of land. How long does it take to pump water only once with that kind of waterwheel?
"Good stuff." Zhao Kuangyi muttered.
Song Jiu left the academy. It's been a long time since something good has appeared, and this time it's finally there. With this thing, the money spent over the years is worth it.
It is conceivable that once this thing is popularized, how much grain production will be increased in a year?
However, several students of the academy also explained.
It is not possible to promote it, it also has many limitations, such as easy damage, such as high cost. However, it has a big appearance, and it will not take ten years to gradually promote it.
"Ten years is ten years."
Zhao Kuangyi sighed gloomily.
This knowledge is amazing, and this thing is even more amazing. It takes some time to understand, but I can't see it anymore.
Blessed is the son.
The predecessors carried the trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.
With an extremely complicated mood, Zhao Kuangyi returned to the palace and ate some more wine. And then he really fell ill. There is no way to even go to the early court, if there is a major event, let the ministers go to the palace to ask for instructions, and he sleeps on the hospital bed to instruct......
……
If Wang Yuyan is said to be a strange and alternative in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, there is one person who may be a legend.
A great poet.
The poem is really well written.
The beauty pretended to be drunk and asked for help, revealing the white snow skin on her chest. Walking into the embroidery and not finding it, let him be full of wind and rain.
Pan Lang.
This person comes from the clouds and goes in the fog, and no one knows his origin, so some people say that he is from Yangzhou, some people say that he is a big celebrity, and some people say that he is from Taigu, Shanxi. If it's all like him, it's a bit bad, the country can't manage it at all.
However, he was quite talented, so celebrities at that time such as Wang Yuyan, Liu Kai, Kou Zhun, Wei Ye, Qian Yi, Song Bai, Sun He, Ding Wei, and Zhang Yong all sang peace with him. But what he is legendary is not his poems, but the things he made in the political arena.
Because of his talent, he was summoned into the palace by Zhao Tingmei, became the secretary of the Qin Palace, joined the army, and had close contacts with Lu Duoxun. Later, Zhao Tingmei and Lu Duosun "rebelled", no matter from Zhao Tingmei's perspective or Lu Duosun's perspective, Pan Lang also deserved to die.
However, under the intensive arrest of the capital, Pan Lang magically escaped from Lu and fled to Zhongtiao Mountain to live in seclusion. However, Zhongtiao Mountain's secluded life is too hard, and he is a fake hermit after all, not Lin Hejing. So I couldn't bear it, but I wanted to live, so I came out to sell medicine, when Wang Yuyan was a magistrate in Changzhou County, he sold medicine in Hangzhou and Shaoxing, and the business was not doing well, so he went to Chengdu to sell medicine. Then through his friend's mouth, he saw that the arrest was loose, so he came to the capital and opened a medicine shop in the lecture hall lane outside the east gate of Kaifeng Daxiangguo Temple, with Liu Shaoyi and Bao Shaogu as medicine children.
Although many people are ashamed of this experience, they have done nothing wrong for the sake of life. Because I have been to many places, I have written a lot of excellent poems, such as Jiuquanzi: Long memories and watching the tide, and the people of Manguo compete for the river. The sea of suspicion is empty. In the sound of the drum of ten thousand faces. Lang Taoer stood up to the waves, and the red flag was not wet. Don't dream about it. The dream is still cold.
Chunhua years. Wang Yuyan was very hard in Shangzhou, and Pan Lang's drug business became bigger and bigger. I also had money in my hand, so I sent a lot of silver to subsidize, so Comrade Wang was very grateful and wrote an enthusiastic poem: Mr. Bai Buyi, who sells medicine, writes to Fang Xin in Beijing. Reducing the burning of pills in the furnace to help me buy wine in the mountains. Idle like a wild cloud, closed like a cage crane for a long time. Piao Piao went to the north of the Yellow River again, and lost a few poems in the middle of the river.
Not only Lao Wang, but also so many nobles befriended him. Including Kou Zhun, the later Minister of Power Ding said, it is inevitable that he will be on the throne, of course, these people are not easy to introduce, so he intentionally or unintentionally let him meet Wang Jien.
Kou Zhun hoped that Zhang Xun would help, and Wang Jien also hoped that Yashi would become his friend, and they hit it off, so he said good things in front of Zhao Kuangyi, and Zhao Kuangyi gave him the title of Jinshi and No. Guozi four teaching assistants.
However, at this time, the master and Wang Jien were getting closer and closer.
And so the second saga began.
However, it is also strange that he committed such a big thing, and after being arrested, Zhao Yuankan actually released him soon after. also gave it to an official who joined the army in Chuzhou, and Sun He and Zhang Yong also personally saw him off. Until ten years later, Ping An died in Sizhou.
Pan Lang was the initiator of this incident. But there is another premise, the mood of a beautiful woman who is hidden in Zhang Qi's house and no one notices.
This woman is about to become a goblin.
If it weren't for the critical time. She won't look for Song Jiu. However, after that time, she disappeared completely.
But if she neglected her influence on Zhao Yuankan. That would be a big mistake.
Who doesn't miss his hometown, for what history of the Song Dynasty has a friend, it is precisely because Sichuan is short of money to use, has to use paper money instead of copper money, however, this has caused a lot of confusion, including many counterfeit money. So Liu E seriously sent officials to plan Jiaozi, and the government came forward to issue Jiaozi to solve the problem of Sichuan's shortage of money.
Everyone is Ge Laozi......
Wang Jien's misdeeds in Bashu, Liu E was very dissatisfied after hearing about it, and this mentality also affected Zhao Yuankan.
Zhao Kuangyi can't do it, and Wang Jien is worried.
His good friend, the high-ranking man Pan Lang, saw this problem, so he whispered behind his back: "Manager Wang, Nanya (referring to Yin Zhao Yuankan of Kaifeng Mansion) once claimed to be in charge, and if he stands, it will not be good for you." It is better to suggest that His Majesty re-establish the crown prince. ”
Wang Jien was stupid.
"Those who do not stand up."
That prince has the least hope of being the emperor, so he will thank you for helping him up.
"How is this possible?"
"It's man-made, so ...... That's it. ”
So Wang Jien found Zhao Kuangyi and said secretly: "Your Majesty, after the slave maid heard that His Majesty was seriously ill, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince celebrated in the mansion. ”
This sentence is too vicious.
However, Wang Jien underestimated Zhao Kuangyi's IQ, and Song Jiu also said to Liu E before leaving, if you don't move, you can move, learn from Tang Gaozong. Therefore, Zhao Yuankan often entered the palace to visit Zhao Kuangyi.
Maybe in the history books, because of the alliance of the abyss and the worship of immortals, he was listed as a faint king, but in fact, this person is okay and emotional. The sadness that comes out of every visit is also an expression of true feelings.
Zhao Kuangyi didn't believe it, so he sent someone to secretly investigate and find out the truth.
However, without Wang Jien, there would be no emperor for him, and Zhao Kuangyi did not execute Wang Jien, but only demoted the high-ranking Pan Lang as a warning.
It should be more or less the end of the story.
But this Wang Jien is bold, he might have been fine, but this time there was really something.
In his sorrow, he thought of another person, Empress Li.
Wang Jien found Empress Li and said: "Queen, Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, and the imperial doctor is helpless, so the queen must prepare early." ”
The sad Empress Li is inexplicable.
"The queen, who ascended the throne in the past, the slaves and maids have always been involved, although His Majesty has to ascend to the throne, it is the hope of the world, and then the ministers are brave enough to say that the death of King Qin of Defang Dezhao is not very convincing to the world. It is for this reason that after the death of Empress Kaibao, Wang Yuyan and others ignored the majesty of His Majesty and wrote unevenly. His Majesty is here, and the ministers can be suppressed, but if His Majesty is not there, the ministers may not be able to suppress it. The reasons for the change of five generations are often inexplicable, and there are such reasons. In the opinion of slaves and maids, it is better to support the eldest prince to ascend the throne, one is that the eldest prince has been unhappy for the king of Qin and the two Taizu princes, and on the other hand, the eldest son of His Majesty, after he ascends the throne, both sides will be convinced, and the country can transition smoothly. And the queen mother adopted the eldest son of the eldest prince and became closer to the eldest prince. ”
Not to mention, Queen Li was really moved.
What is the death of Brother Dezhao, the world is uneven, and that has something to do with her?
The main thing is that emotionally, Li and Zhao Yuanzuo are closer.
And as Pan Lang said, those who stand up and don't stand up are Zhao Yuanzuo who can't get on the throne, and he will have merit if he stands up.
Lee hesitated.
That's easy!
"Besides, General Li has recalled the capital to serve as the former commander of the capital palace!" (To be continued......)
