When Zhao Lin heard this, he nodded: "What Aiqing said, I have also considered it. ”

"It's not enough to rely on monetary incentives alone. ”

"Well, from now on, a new system will be added to the ministry. ”

"But all officials who have been to serve in the land of barbarians will be counted twice as much. And after five years, if you don't want to stay any longer, you can apply to be transferred back to the Central Plains. ”

"As for Confucianism, if you are willing to go to the barbarian land to preach and preach and promote the culture of our Great Song Dynasty, after five years, they will be given the fame of meritorious service, and they can directly participate in the imperial examination!"

When the official Shangshu heard this, his face changed slightly.

The difficult problem he had been pondering for a long time did not expect to be solved so easily by His Majesty.

What do officials want most?

It's a political achievement!

Only outstanding political achievements can help them reach a higher level!

What did Confucianism want most?

It's famous!

Excellent Confucian students can naturally gain fame through the imperial examination, but how many Confucian students can stand out in the imperial examination?

It's more of those who are famous in Sun Mountain.

Many of them are afraid that they will not have fame in this life.

But now, His Majesty has opened the door and given these people a glimmer of hope!

It is already conceivable that if Zhao Lin's two measures are implemented, there must be a lot of officials and Confucian scholars who are willing to go to Tubo and Mengyuan!

Or even rushing!

"Retreat!"

Zhao Lin waved his hand.

Looking at the civil and military officials who were talking about His Highness, Zhao Lin's heart had already thought of what would happen in the future.

I believe that it will not be long before his measures will be effective in these two countries.

......

Great Song Dynasty, the government of the Academy of Sciences.

Liu Ji looked at the roughly made hot air balloon in front of him, and a thick frenzy appeared on his face.

Since the last time, after being reminded by His Majesty and teaching him how to make a hot air balloon, Liu Ji has studied day and night, and put all his energy into the production of this hot air balloon.

Finally, the effort paid off.

This hot air balloon was finally created by him.

At the same time, in his heart, he admired Zhao Lin so much.

Everyone knows that the heat will float upwards.

But since ancient times, who has thought of using this ordinary phenomenon to make a flying machine?

Only Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, a wise person, can discover something that can change the world from this ordinary phenomenon!

Liu Ji's eyes lit up.

A thought suddenly flashed through his heart.

Your Majesty, could it be an angel?

Liu Ji hurriedly shook his head.

Only then did he clear his mind of the nonsense in his head, and his eyes fell back on the hot air balloon in front of him.

Before that, he had already tried his hand at making small hot air balloons.

Managed to take a duck into the sky.

But now, the passenger of this hot air balloon is no longer a duck, but a person!

He's going to take this hot air balloon to the sky!

"Are you ready?"

Liu Ji took a deep breath, and then looked at the assistant next to him.

"Master Liu, let's be cautious, why don't we let a dog try, there's no need to take risks yourself. ”

The assistant had a bitter melon look on his face.

Originally, he was just a new janitor in the Academy of Sciences.

One day, Liu Ji suddenly said that he would hire him as an assistant, which made him overjoyed.

Liu Jike is the Minister of the Academy of Sciences.

Being Liu Ji's assistant, the treatment and benefits are very good, which is undoubtedly much better than being a doorman.

Unexpectedly, that was just the beginning of the nightmare.

I knew that I would have to go to heaven to be Liu Ji's assistant, and I wouldn't kill him!

"No,"

Liu Ji shook his head, "If you want the hot air balloon to continue to rise into the sky, you have to keep pouring hot air into the balloon. ”

"There have to be people on board this hot air balloon, otherwise this test will be meaningless. ”

After that, Liu Ji patted his assistant on the shoulder, "Don't worry, no matter whether we succeed or fail, we will definitely be able to go down in history." ”

"If you don't go up, I'll show your majesty that you don't cooperate with the experiments of the Academy of Sciences and kill your head. ”

The assistant was forced to be helpless, so he could only sigh and board the hot air balloon with Liu Ji.

The two lit a flame on the hot air balloon.

After the heat in the ball was infused to a certain extent, the hot air balloon waddled off the ground and began to rise into the air.

"Fly, fly!"

Liu Ji looked ecstatic and frantically added firewood to the flames.

Getting farther and farther away from the ground......

The assistant's face turned pale.

His feet were already shaking.

But he still resisted his fear and looked down at the hot air balloon!

At this moment, most of the Jingshi of the Great Song Dynasty have been in full view.

The hot air balloon rises higher and higher, and it is already starting to approach the clouds.

"Control the height. ”

At this time, Liu Ji no longer had the initial ecstasy and became much sober.

His Majesty had told him that the air would become thinner in the sky, and that he must not rise too high, otherwise he would be in danger of his life.

Hot air balloons float in the air.

With the flow of air, it changes direction.

Liu Ji had been observing the ground below.

At this time, under the hot air balloon, there is already a large area of magnificent and magnificent palace.

"It's over the palace. ”

Liu Ji's eyes lit up slightly.

He succeeded in going to heaven this time, and it would be great if His Majesty could see it.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Ji shouted loudly in the sky.

At this time, Zhao Lin, who was in the Daqing Palace, vaguely heard Liu Ji's voice from the outside world.

He and Cao Zhengchun walked out of the main hall.

Came to the square.

"Who is making a loud noise in the palace?"

Cao Zhengchun looked around with unkind eyes, and his voice was cold.

However, there was not half a figure in sight.

Zhao Lin frowned, and suddenly raised his head.

I saw the hot air balloon in the sky, and my eyes lit up suddenly.

"Man is in heaven. ”

Zhao Lin reminded Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun suddenly raised his head, looked at the sky above his head, and happened to see Liu Ji who was greeting them.

Then the eyes shook violently!

Isn't this guy the same madman I met last time at the Academy of Sciences?

This madman, with a kite and a rocket strapped to it, dares to fly into the sky.

If it hadn't been for him last time, this person would have fallen to pieces.

I didn't expect this person to go to heaven again!

But this time, it seems to be quite successful?

"The child can be taught. ”

Zhao Lin smiled and nodded.

He just provided the concept to this Liu Ji, but he didn't expect the latter to really make this hot air balloon!

It also boldly carried out experiments and flew into the air.

"Your Majesty, what is the purpose of this hot air balloon?"

Cao Zhengchun looked at Zhao Lin in some surprise, "This Liu Ji doesn't even want his life, just to study this." ”

"This hot air balloon isn't a thing. ”

Zhao Lin shook his head.

Hot air balloons play a big role.

This thing can help him grasp the air supremacy of the Great Song Dynasty.

Moreover, this hot air balloon is just the beginning, and only after taking this first step can we develop more mature aircraft.

"Spread my will, reward Liu Ji again, let him complete the hot air balloon as soon as possible!"

Zhao Lin instructed Cao Zhengchun: "At the same time, inform the entire Academy of Sciences and reward inventions and creations! Encourage more people to follow Liu Ji's example and come up with results as soon as possible!"

"The old slave obeyed. ”

Cao Zhengchun immediately took the order and left.
