After refusing the escort of Da Han, the head of the Anli Army Branch of the Imperial City Division, and others, we set off to continue northward, in order not to attract more attention, the Royal Forest Army led by Wang Dazhuang, the head of the three teams of the Imperial Forest Army, still set off late, keeping a certain distance from us. On the camel, Xiao Liuzi took out the imperial court chapter that was delivered yesterday, and I began to deal with it.

First of all, the old man's document transferred by the imperial court, mainly for my understanding of the six thieves of the Great Song Empire, and once again said that the old man has left the power center of the Beijing Division, as for what I want to do in the future, I don't have to worry about his feelings, and also specifically mentioned the huge greed of Jiangnan Zhu Mian, for him to deceive the imperial court, what he did in Jiangnan is also quite an atmosphere, and he called to kill him, so as to relieve his hatred, he used to live in the palace, and was deceived by such officials, and he really saw the wrong person, I am also quite uneasy and guilty when I see Jiangnan being harmed by him all the way, many people are displaced, and some are forced to sell their sons and daughters. After all, he had just arrived in Hangzhou, although during the period when Cai Jing and others were in power, some policies did hurt the national capital and overused the people's power, but after all, I had just ascended the throne not long ago, and everything was still stable, and it was not too late to deal with it when the situation was completely stabilized. Then did not forget to the former head of the inner Li Yan Xicheng pit the people very angry, directly denounced it as the first evil of the eunuchs, not to kill is enough to vent the anger of the people, the back is the new banknote Song coin issued full of praise, one is the old man's Mobao, the other to learn from the previous banknote Jiaozi experience, is now able to be issued smoothly. In the end, he did not forget to tell me to take care of my body and not to overdraw too much, and also told me to have more sons so that I can have successors in the future...... After reading it, I put down the paperwork with a slight smile, thinking that only the old man can have a happy life in Hangzhou, after all, Hangzhou has beautiful scenery and a strong fragrance of books, which is very suitable for the old man who loves art to retire. I also wish him to take care of his health and spend his old age in peace.

Then I picked up the recital of the Privy Council and looked at it, at present, the new army is in full swing training, and the four commanders Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Jun eat and live with the soldiers all day long, and they are completely together, and they are deeply respected and loved by the soldiers below. In addition, with the successful development of the Shenzhou cannon, it has been put into mass production, due to the sufficient appropriation of the imperial court, and the mobilization of many craftsmen from all roads, states and governments across the country, plus the continuous supply of iron ore and other material resources from the prisons, the progress is currently very smooth, and the corresponding earthquake thunder is also increasing productivity. As for the Shenzhou gun that I am concerned about, there is still no major breakthrough, but craftsmen have been mobilized, and the development is being stepped up in combination with the favorable conditions such as the simple lathe of the Wensi Academy.

And the god arm crossbow, three-bow bucket crossbow, etc. have also been tested, in the range has been greatly improved than before, in addition to its operability is more humane and simplified, which will greatly improve the lethality of the battlefield, after all, the previous crossbow manual preparation stage will take a long time, especially the god arm crossbow has high requirements for the operation of the soldier's arm strength, now after improvement, ordinary soldiers can operate, in order to verify its reliability again, the sample has been sent to the northwest border army, Test how effective the actual battle is, and if the effect is good, it can be finalized and put into mass production. Others are the existing variety of weapons have been sorted out and simplified, including guns, bows and arrows, hemp knives and other ordnance, which are still under discussion, and will be summarized and reported after the results of the discussion. Finally, the north camp of the city is currently a bit insufficient to support the training of the new army, and I asked for instructions that the new army camp needs to be rezoned in the open area of the outer city to prepare for the construction of the new army barracks, and at the same time, the new military camp in the planning should include the ordnance supervisor who makes ordnance.

The next is to look at the Jiaozi Yuan's chapter, the first report is about the currency, because the new banknotes have made heavy metal reserves, so it has been successfully issued, the first is to put the office (industrial and commercial money) and Changping (agricultural money), there is the Beijing Division's various ministries and procurement departments, which is enforced, in order to be the government to play a leading role, for the people to do a demonstration, and at the same time to standardize and guide the use of the new Song Dynasty banknotes and Song coins, in addition to the production of a lot of propaganda materials, Conduct large-scale propaganda among the people to educate the public to use the new banknotes.

In addition, it has been clearly canceled salt banknotes, tea quotations, alum quotations, incense medicine banknotes, rhino elephant quotations, empty name degree and other securities, although a lot of money has been spent in the recovery of these securities, but for the healthy and stable development of the financial market, it is still worth it, which is the long pain is better than the short pain. After all, the imperial court also needs to release a part of the market share to the market, giving capital the greatest way out, otherwise, capital will still stare at the three melons and two dates in the pockets of the people at the bottom, after all, the core of capital is the pursuit of interests, and any good thing is occupied by the imperial court, and capital is bound to encourage their spokesperson to create instability for the imperial court and the locality. This was the usual means of the gentry and landlord class in feudal society.

At the same time, at present, the old banknotes on the market have been recycled, Jiaoziyuan has issued several newspapers and announcements, and the other about 110,000 banknotes have not been recycled, it is estimated that it is a long time, caused by the damage of the banknotes, but in order to further safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people, the Jiaoziyuan intends to issue another announcement, as long as the old banknotes are more than half a sheet, they can be exchanged at the original face value. I will give instructions here, very good, at the price of eleven kings, in exchange for the prestige of the new banknotes and to restore the credibility of the imperial court, it is definitely worth it, for which I praise you Jiaoziyuan.

The latter is to report on the implementation of the section transportation law decided by the imperial court, which has been launched, and at present, King Su Zhao Shu has arrived in Zhenzhou, and the warehouse is currently being sorted out, and the previous warehouse will be expanded and renovated on the basis of the previous legacy, and the other three provinces have also issued a document to inform the country, especially the roads, states, and governments in the south, that the imperial court wants to restore the sectional transportation law of the canal, and in addition, King Su Zhao Shu has sent people to the roads south of the Yangtze River, especially the Suhu area to communicate about the purchase of grain. In addition, the government and private large shipyards throughout the country have been allocated, and the plan to build 3,200 ships has been implemented, and the next step is to select and send people to shipyards across the country in the Guozijian, the former Third Division, and the Ministry of Industry to station in shipyards across the country in order to supervise the shipping schedule and the quality of the ships.

In order to reflect the majesty of our Great Song Empire, the Great Song Dynasty Envoy was based on the Lingxu Zhiyuan Anji Shenzhou and Lingfei Shunji Shenzhou during the Yuanfeng period, and then combined with the advantages of the Xuanhe Ding Xinli Huaiyuan Kangji Shenzhou and the Shunji Shenzhou in the Xuanhe period, it is proposed to design the new Great Song Dynasty Envoy with a length of 68 meters, a width of 15 meters, a draft of 4 meters and a depth of 4 meters, a displacement of about 1,000 tons, and a cargo capacity of about 6,000 hu. The contract was 360 tons, and it was built at the official shipyard at the foot of Zhaobao Mountain in Dinghai (now Zhenhai, Ningbo). Shenzhou is to be like a kind of giant passenger boat, sailing majestically like a mountain, floating on the waves, more magnificently decorated, so that when it arrives in ancient foreign countries, foreigners will be given the effect of causing the country to look at and cheer.

The Great Song Messenger adopts the boat type, which is flat as balanced at the top and as a blade at the bottom, that is, the combination of V-shaped and U-shaped, that is, the front half of the hull is V-shaped, and the rear half is U-shaped. This type of ship is a technological innovation of Ningbo shipbuilding industry and is suitable for ocean voyages. In addition, it is equipped with a compass and a floating needle compass navigation, and a staggering keel is installed in the hull of the hull to stabilize the sway when it encounters wind and waves. This stabilizer keel is an original technology in China's shipbuilding industry. At the same time, the sail is ten feet high and the head eight feet high. The wind is regular and spreads fifty sails, and a little bias is made of a sharp canopy. The left and right wings are stretched so that the wind is blowing. In order to make it easier to use the sails, a mast hinge device is added, and the ship is equipped with watertight compartments, so that even if one or two cabins are broken and leaking, the other cabins will not be flooded, so as to avoid the ship from sinking on the reef.

Then, in order to achieve the effect of both grace and power, the gun carriages used by the warships were added to the ship, and it was recommended to use the newly developed firearms such as the Shenzhou cannon and the earth-shaking thunder of the Ordnance Supervisor, and a certain number of bow and arrow shooting windows and crossbow launches were also equipped. In this way, you can not be angry and arrogant, so that foreigners can see this Great Song Envoy, and they can feel the incomparable strength and prosperity of our Great Song Empire, and at the same time, it is also a good window to promote commercial and trade exchanges.

This is followed by a proposal on diplomatic strategy against the Jin State, and the specific proposal is that the new emperor ascend the throne and give a notification to the Jin State. At the same time, in the name of reporting this matter, an envoy was sent to the Jin State, and it was important to observe the preparations of the Jin State along the way, especially whether there were any signs of moving troops to the north and transporting grain and grass. For these valuable suggestions and opinions, I commented later, I am very relieved, and I can handle them later.

When I closed the concert of the Foreign Affairs Academy, I felt a little tired, and after all, it was a camel, and the trip was a little bumpy. Seeing this, Xiao Liuzi asked intimately: Shopkeeper Huang, do you want to rest? I nodded, and then Xiao Liuzi laid out the mat, and I lay down, and then covered the blanket to rest......
