In fact, some things are not as difficult as I thought, Brother Zhang is not the kind of nouveau riche who is poor and rich, the little emperor is still young, and a few women can't support the scene, basically he is the helmsman of this huge empire, but he is not floating, he is still working as before.

During this period, there was more than one person to provoke, but whether it was provoked by Zhao Rong or Yelutri, there was usually only one end, and that was death. Women are much more ruthless than men, and the two of them are not afraid of any family power at all with Brother Zhang as their backing, and all the families in the world are like playing in front of absolute oppression.

Sometimes, as long as you don't need to consider the sophistication of human feelings, life and work will naturally become pure, and those officials are much more honest after losing their support, especially after the new policy comes down, an assessment system makes these people's heads swell, anyway, every three years, the assessment can not be directly rolled down, with an almost cruel rotation system to maintain the operation of this unprecedented huge empire.

It's not perfect, but it's adequate. This is enough, because this will buy more time for Brother Zhang's side, and as long as there is enough time, he doesn't believe that he can't rub out a future.

In this way, until the little emperor was in power, and Brother Zhang was already in his forties, and the ministers who were suppressed by him thought that the little emperor was finally in power, and they would have another chance.

But I never expected it...... The little emperor was taught by Brother Zhang himself, whether it is his personality, thinking mode, means and direction of thinking, he is the same as Brother Zhang, and he is super doubled.

It's good now, the ministers who have been suppressed by the regent for ten years have now been suppressed by the little emperor of the pro-government, the little emperor inherited all the excellent genes of the Yelu family and the Zhao family and inherited the technology and knowledge of Brother Zhang, and he is simply a hexagonal warrior in this era, and he is different from Brother Zhang's silence and stability, the blood of young people is hot, he does everything drastically, and in the first year of pro-government, he harvested the seven families of Longxi and disintegrated the Jiangnan merchant clan.

In the second year, he presided over the new policy with Wang Anshi, almost all the livelihood industries were nationalized, and a new monument was erected, the content of which simply exploded the eyeballs, the inscription was engraved with the new promotion system and audit system, and the gate valve and the merchant valve collapsed almost overnight, although there are still many places that are struggling to mislead the people and cause rebellions, but these rebellions of the new army will not become a climate at all under the terrifying combat power of the new army, and the empire has reached an unprecedented peak at this time.

In the third year of the little emperor's reign, Su Shi returned to Beijing, handed over all their writings in the past ten years, and also brought news from another continent, saying that they were launching an eastward crusade and asked His Majesty to prepare in advance.

Su Shi is much older, but the light in his eyes is brighter and brighter than before, he has no more poems and texts, instead of scientific research works that are enough to change the course of mankind, there is no depression in that copy, replaced by full of anticipation for the future and the desire to borrow from the sky for another five hundred years.

When he saw Brother Zhang again, the two sat down together and had a drink, Su Shi drank a lot that night, and fell asleep without any pretensions, and didn't even talk about the hard work outside these years, but kept describing to Brother Zhang how vast the world outside was.

On the fourth day of his return, theoretically the world's largest library was officially completed, bringing together more than 600,000 books of all kinds, 120,000 atlases and drawings, becoming the most brilliant pearl in culture.

What is even more gratifying is that in the entire territory, the literacy rate has increased from 5 percent 30 years ago to 42 percent now, which is still the reason why the grassland, Western Xia, Western Regions and Jurchen places with relatively low literacy rates are counted, while the southern part of the country, where the literacy rate is relatively high, has reached 70 percent as a whole, and about 20 years later, the overall literacy rate will reach about 80 percent.

This is the basis for completely smashing the gate valve family, but an immortal feat, unprecedented and unprecedented.

In the same year, there was a coup d'état in Dali, and the pro-Central Plains faction was victorious, and successfully made Dali Buddhism a vassal state of the Central Plains, and at the same time submitted a credential in the hope of bathing in the glory of the Central Plains orthodoxy and becoming an inseparable part.

Speaking of the blessing of national fortune, although there have been small disasters every year in recent years, major disasters have never appeared, and the rain is abundant, the four seasons are distinct, the grain is harvested every year, and there is an average of one baby boom every ten years.

With the explosive growth of the population, the entire industrial structure has also changed, and almost without anyone realizing it, the mode of production is completely different from what it was 30 years ago.

With the deepening of industrialization, a large number of new cities have appeared one after another, and a large number of industrial products have flowed to Europe along the trade routes opened up by Su Shi and them.

In the fifth year of the little emperor's reign, the epochal calendar completed a major update, and the universal chronology began to try, and with the rapid development of productivity, astronomy, calendar, geography, literature and art and other aspects bloomed in all directions, and the footsteps of mankind took a big step forward.

And the technology tree that has already been lit up is like the root of the times, quickly taking root and sprouting under this fertile soil, just like it took more than 50 years from the first invention of the airplane to the first exploration of space by mankind, and this number may continue to shrink when there is no possibility of a mistake in the technology tree.

Brother Zhang, he obviously didn't plan to stop, he would continue to point up the technology tree after each stage, for example, after geology and chemistry reached a certain level, petrochemical industry was pointed out by him, and now his work is getting easier and easier, because there are more and more educated people, and more and more people are studying related projects.

It is no exaggeration to say that the development of the last 100 years has actually exceeded the sum of the previous 4,000 years, and the last 30 years of this century will exceed the sum of the previous 70 years.

It's just that Brother Zhang doesn't feel very satisfied, because he hasn't been closed throughout the whole process, but the development rate is only the same as the average development rate of New China from 1950 to 1990......

As for what the industrial system has foreign help, Brother Zhang is open, the drawings are ready-made, as long as the standard operation is zero error, and even he has pointed out the quantitative table of the science and technology tree to 2055, directly bypassing the R&D and discussion stages and all the trial and error stages, as long as the gourd is drawn in the same way, but in the end it is only flat, and there is no way to surpass the accelerator pedal in the end.

In the past decade, the first gasoline-burning car has been born, the first thermal power plant has been put into operation, the first university has been born, the first general hospital has appeared, and many other firsts have blossomed one after another.

In the third year of the little emperor's reign, the country officially entered the stage of stabilization, and almost overnight, the infrastructure construction in various places was like a mushroom after a spring rain, dotted on the map, and the expansion of the territory was even more exaggerated, up to the Arctic Circle and down to the depths of the South China Sea, all of which were included in the territory, and as long as the surveyors went, wherever there was no one living on it, it would leave traces and mark that this place was an inherent territory since ancient times.

Someone? It doesn't matter if someone has someone. At the same time as the expansion of the territory in the past 20 years, the number of ethnic groups in China has directly expanded from 12 to 60, and under the 12 propositions put forward by Brother Zhang, there has been no fierce conflict in the entire integration stage, and the process of integration has been very smooth without the instigation and planning of external forces, with its own super centripetal force.

The problems brought about by the huge territory have gradually become prominent, so at this time, outward exploration has become the current mainstream.

In the past 20 years, the south ship and the north ship have developed their own production routes, the north ship is mainly to produce military ships, from the beginning of the ordinary ironclad ship has developed to be able to produce a variety of different types of warships 12 types, the maximum tonnage has almost reached 8,000 to 10,000 tons, although the current technology is still a certain gap compared with the real comprehensive warship, but in this world where other countries are still using sail sampans, this is no different from zenith star technology.

The southern ship mainly focuses on the direction of ocean-going commercial ships, with a maximum tonnage of between 20,000 and 25,000, and civilian merchant ships can be very large because they do not have to take into account combat use, although even if the 20,000-ton ships they produce are better than any warships in this era, but civilian is civilian, and it is.

And three such giant ships have been launched, and they are doing ocean training, waiting for the time to sing all the way to the eastern sea to explore the unknown in the distance.

In the seventh year of the little emperor's reign, the first batch of ocean-going fleets finally went to sea, with five giant ships, four warships and two professional supply ships.

Brother Zhang is more than fifty this year, he already has white hair on his forehead, looking at his old appearance in the mirror, he actually laughed, Zhao Rong put clothes on him from behind, and said with a complaint, "I'm a lot older, I don't know how to take care of myself, and I think I'm a young man, if you don't wear clothes in the cold, a cold may kill you."

Brother Zhang is now suffering from severe arthritis, and he can't even get out of bed when it's cloudy and rainy, but that doesn't stop him from being the most respected person in the country.

As long as people of insight in the world know his life and past, all of them are amazed and admired by him, and the first half of his life is almost single-handedly pulled up industry, agriculture, education, and culture, and it is no exaggeration to say that today's country is like a kite in his hand, without him to pull forward, no matter how beautiful the kite can not fly. In the second half of his life, he was like the helmsman of a giant ship, constantly adjusting the direction of the giant ship, and did not let the giant ship be smashed on the sea by the surging waves.

And this was his job as the Holy Lord, and he did his job here conscientiously and smoothly to complete his own work.

However, Brother Zhang is not afraid of getting old, because he has not experienced that being an old man, death is not a particularly unacceptable thing for him, and he will even look forward to the time after becoming an old man.

In the fifteenth year of the little emperor's pro-government, maritime trade reached its peak, and a large number of ships walked on the trans-Pacific route every day.

He still doesn't like to talk, he likes to sit quietly in his office and work with reading glasses, and the little emperor who was once brought out by himself finally had a child this year, but he didn't make a prince but talked to Brother Zhang for a long, long time, that is, he has been thinking about the idea of abolishing the monarchy for many years.

His Majesty the Emperor in his thirties has a very simple relationship with Brother Zhang, he is both a teacher and a father, so he can say these words to Brother Zhang without any pressure.

Brother Zhang didn't give any opinion, because he knew that no matter whether he agreed to this matter or not, this kid would do it, and he would not change his mind because of who disagreed.

As for what Brother Zhang can do, all he can do is to tell the stakes and advantages and disadvantages to the emperor who brought it up single-handedly.

The twentieth year of the little emperor's pro-government.

As soon as spring began this year, Su Shi left, and he said that he would go to the other side of the sea in person. Brother Zhang felt that he was also in his sixties, and he might not be able to come back if he went on a trip, but Su Xian'er didn't care, he said that his life was a wandering life, he was degraded and exiled when he was young, and he couldn't stop when he was old, and the fate of a person like him was to wander on the road, and when he stopped, it meant that he died. He knew that he might not be able to come back, so he came to say goodbye to Zhongpu, otherwise his lifelong friend would not be able to see him, how sad it would be.

After Su Shi left, a little girl came to Brother Zhang's house, fourteen or fifteen years old, beautiful and talented. She was Su Shi's closed disciple, and after the old thing ran away, she was taken to Zhao Rong.

Her name is Li Qingzhao.

And this day is the 40th anniversary of the all-round blockade of Yaga, the 40 years of comprehensive blockade, making the Ryukyu region an important shipping transit point, the sea of small Hong Kong belongs to yes, and now the Yaga side is basically about to degenerate from the Heian period to the Jomon period, because the total blockade is not only shipping, but also ports, trade, economy, technology and fishing......

Fishing is not impossible, but it is only within six nautical miles of the coastline, and you can't starve to death or bullets......

So in this year, Yaga suddenly launched an attack on the Ryukyus, but they probably underestimated the Ryukyus, and the Ryukyus are no longer a leather ball that can be manipulated, as a maritime transit port to make money for decades, and now it has already been strong, and then look back at the soldiers of Yaga with sharpened bamboos to charge at them, and the local security team of the Ryukyus silently took out semi-automatic rifles......

After that, the militia of the Ryukyus counterattacked Yaga, and in the nineteenth day, they reached the imperial palace of Yaga and captured the king of Yaga alive......

When Brother Zhang got the telegram, he glanced at the date and scratched his head: "Such a coincidence?" Is this also the point? ”

"What's such a coincidence? What's wrong? Zhao Rong came up and took a look: "July 8th, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that some things still have to be believed in a little metaphysics."
