"Captain. Where is the official house! As soon as Zhang Shijie saw Zhao Jiaren, he asked anxiously.

Zhao Jiaren looked at Zhang Shijie and sneered: "Do you think I will do something to the official family?" ”

Zhang Shijie was speechless. He did think that Zhao Jiaren might do something to the official family, but this kind of thing can't be said explicitly. Facing Zhao Jiaren's questioning, Zhang Shijie also felt that he was indeed a little excessive, and he hurriedly replied: "The Queen Mother should have dinner with the official family at this time on weekdays, and she misses the official family at this time, so she sent me to invite the official family back." ”

Zhao Jiaren looked at Zhang Shijie and was silent for a moment before asking, "Do you want to continue to be the commander of this Imperial Forest Army?" ”

Zhang Shijie didn't speak, but Zhao Jiaren could see that Zhang Shijie's heart had been greatly shaken. Zhao Jiaren continued while the iron was hot: "Commander Zhang, your family is from Hebei. I think that within five or six years, our army will go on another Northern Expedition, and wouldn't it be a pity if Commander Zhang was not in the Northern Expeditionary Army at that time? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shijie's expression changed. Although he has been able to accept Zhao Jiaren's invitation, there is a bottom line that prevents him from doing so.

Zhao Jiaren didn't force it, first, it was useless to force it, and second, there was no shortage of Zhang Shijie under him. So Zhao Jiaren got up and took Zhang Shijie to the back, and said in a voice that Zhang Shijie could only hear as he walked: "Commander Zhang, you might as well tell Empress Dowager Yang when you go back." The ownership of this throne is a matter for our Zhao family, so don't worry about her Yang family. As the mother of a petty official family, shouldn't she focus on how to make her children happy? ”

"Tai Wei, the Queen Mother takes care of the little official's family very carefully." Zhang Shijie couldn't help but argue for Empress Dowager Yang, "What's more......,...... What's more, the queen mother was not at ease with the captain, but she didn't dare to say a bad word about the captain in front of the petty officials. ”

Zhao Jiaren smiled: "This is probably what you taught to Empress Dowager Yang." This matter surprised me very much, and the Empress Dowager Yang still knew how to advance and retreat. Oh yes. If it is a petty official, I actually think that if Empress Dowager Yang is willing, Commander Zhang might as well marry her. ”

Zhang Shijie never expected Zhao Jiaren to come up with such a sentence, and he made a big red face when he landed, and the whole person stayed in place. Marrying the queen mother, even in Mongolia, where force decides everything, is unimaginable. Zhang Shijie's status is still far from the prince!

Just when Zhang Shijie was thinking about it, they had already reached the back. Zhang Shijie saw that the little official's face was red, although his eyelids were already sleepy, he was still trying to play with a little girl who was about his age. Seeing Zhang Shijie come in, the little official family was stunned and said, "Commander Zhang, you are here." ”

Zhang Shijie was walking with the little official's hand, and seeing that the little official's walk was a little crooked, he could only pick him up, and just a moment later, the little official's family had fallen asleep.

When Zhao Jiaren went to bed at night, Qin Yuzhen said to Zhao Jiaren: "That kid is ......, so weak. ”

Zhao Jiaren knew what Qin Yuzhen was referring to, and he took the little official out to play, so he couldn't help but do some tests on the little official. The test results surprised Zhao Jiaren, because of the lack of exercise, the little official was very weak. The weakness is not only the body, the Empress Dowager Yang is not capable of educating children, and the Great Song Dynasty has no scientific system, and the little official family has not been able to establish various basic concepts by the age of seven. As for the level of intelligence, the petty officials have no obvious defects, but they also have no obvious talents.

This was the normal cultural level of the Great Song Dynasty at this time. Although Zhao Jiaren does not dare to guarantee 100% that his family's education is really better, it turns out that China in the 21st century does have a productivity that the Great Song Dynasty in the 13th century could not achieve at all.

The petty official's family is very weak, so weak that even Zhao Jiaren's wife Qin Yuzhen can't look past it, and can't help but say a few words. Qin Yuzhen is a girl from a genuine Jinshi family, and she has received a sophisticated education since she was a child, so she rarely speaks ill of others. Not because she's cautious, but because she's arrogant. It was the identity of the emperor that really made Qin Yuzhen feel that she had to look up.

Qin Yuzhen put her arms around Zhao Jiaren and asked in a very low voice in his ear, "San Lang, will you do something to be the Son of Heaven?" ”

Although Qin Yuzhen's voice was very low and low, Zhao Jiaren could feel the rapid heartbeat of his wife who was close to him. He laughed, "I wouldn't do such tasteless things." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jiaren felt that Qin Yuzhen's body stiffened a lot. Then Zhao Jiaren continued: "But I will be the son of heaven. ”

Qin Yuzhen let out a long breath, her arms hugged Zhao Jiaren's waist, and her whole body relaxed. Then she asked in a low voice, "But I don't know what the difference is." ”

turned over, lay face up, and said slowly: "Check as the son of heaven." That's for the sake of the Son of Heaven to do things. And I want the Son of Heaven, because many things that are beneficial to China and the people of China must be done after I become the Son of Heaven. For this purpose, I want the Son of Heaven! ”

Qin Yuzhen also adjusted her sleeping position, and rested her head on Zhao Jiaren's shoulder, "San Lang, if someone else says this, I probably don't believe it." But since you have saved the Great Song Dynasty, you have saved Huaxia. When you say so, I believe it. ”

Zhao Jiaren wanted to say that it would be good if others believed it, but he still didn't say it. Having read so much history, Zhao Jiaren once wondered why the leaders who had saved hundreds of millions of people and pushed society forward were stigmatized as the biggest killers. After Zhao Jiaren did things on his own, he felt a little understood. Those leaders are trying to do things, and ordinary people see the high status that those people have attained.

In the eyes of ordinary people, those high positions are so sacred, and if ordinary people sit in this position and are blessed by 'divine power', they must be able to do a better job than those leaders.

Therefore, there are probably two ways for the people to understand the greatness of the leader, one is that after the death of the leader, the people suffer two stubbles and suffer two sins. Only then do they realize that the world they once hated is not the worst existence in reality. The other is that, like Zhao Jiaren, he has improved the depth and breadth of his vision through study and practice, and can see the truth closer to the truth.

But either way, the words of the leader when he was alive probably did not make the people aware of this. Because all the people see is that 'sacred status'. So Zhao Jiaren found that he really had no other choice than to shut up.

The incident of Taiwei Zhao taking the little official's family out to play once shook the officialdom of Lin'an, but the wind of officialdom kept changing, and there was no follow-up to this matter, so everyone just left various impressions on this matter, and then left it behind.

The large-scale trial in Lin'an was very lively. If the trial of these people can be concluded sooner, there will be a result before New Year's Day. Equally lively is the export industry, especially the embroidery industry. By this time, the Great Song fleet had sailed into the Red Sea, and with the opening of trade routes with Egypt, the Great Song had made it possible for almost the entire Indian Ocean to do business with the Great Song.

The price of pure silk products has been sold out. The price of embroidery, a more technical commodity, began to rise. The art graduates who can sketch and compose have become the biggest profiteers in this wave of market. As long as you are willing to endure hardships overseas, once you draw a pattern that you agree with customers, the benefits will not be small.

Cloisonné processing is also very profitable, saltpeter is called 'Chinese snow' in the West, and cloisonné is called 'Chinese jewelry'. Both believers in the cross and the true gods are fascinated by this ornament with its dazzling colors and intricate patterns.

There is such a demand, the agricultural school is full of silkworm majors, and the handicraft technical school is full of art, embroidery, and cloisonné majors. Everyone thinks that those who come out of school are more skilled than those who come out of apprentices.

The direct impact of these changes is that the number of handicraft workers in Lin'an has skyrocketed, and although the population of Lin'an has not yet returned to the level before the surrender of Lin'an, the number of handicraft workers has been one and a half times that of Lin'an's population at its peak. The housing of these people has become a big problem. The solution to the problem is to rush to build a new town.

In December of the fourth year of the Republic, the Land Bureau of Lin'an Prefecture officially started construction, and a group of experienced surveyors from the army was first asked to enrich the number. Hurry up and get started. The gang was accompanied by a list of relatives who had been taken captive by the Mongols. In the end, the total number of prisoners was more than 33,000. The Great Song Dynasty sent the roster of more than 30,000 people to Dadu, asking Song Gongming to officially exchange it with the Great Yuan negotiators.

Negotiations did not begin until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It is no longer Hao Ren Wanhu who is in charge of negotiations, he continues to be busy with the affairs of establishing government soldiers, and he really can't leave. Therefore, the negotiator of Dayuan was Lian Xixian.

After listening to Da Song's request, Lian Xixian waved his hand vigorously and immediately said, "Where do we have so many people to pick prisoners." I really can't help it. ”

"So what do you want to do?" Song Gongming asked.

"We want to buy your muskets, so we exchange them for people. A musket for a man. ”

"One arquebus for ten people!"

The price offered by the two sides immediately differed tenfold. The two sides began to bargain, but Song Gongming refused to let it go at all. The quality of the muskets of the Great Song was certainly much better than that of the Dayuan muskets, because the barrels of the muskets were thin and strong. Even with the double-barrel technology, the factory price is only one-fifth of the same weight wrought iron on the market in Dayuan.

The musket processed by Dayuan is about ten times that of the Da Song musket, after counting the cost of craftsmen. So Song Gongming dared to ask for a price, and in the previous discussion, some people felt that twenty people could also shout for a musket. However, Song Gongming felt that as long as he bargained on this matter, it would make Dayuan feel that he could pay any price. You might as well bite to death for the price of ten people with one arquebus.

Seeing that Song Gongming was so stubborn, Lian Xixian, who was already impatient, changed the topic, "How do you change people with your new musket?" ”

When it came to this topic, Song Gongming said proudly: "The new musket will not be replaced, only bought." One thousand taels of silver. ”
