Robbers of the strongest system

Chapter 149

As soon as Zhang Yi entered the living room, Zhang Yi was spotted by the sharp-eyed Rouhui and Qingzhao, and the two little lolitas happily ran to Zhang Yi's side and said hello in unison: "Rouhui has met Master."

"Qingzhao met Brother Tianxing."

"Haha, you are here too."

"Hee hee, Master, there are so many people in your family today!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect so many people to come, Rouhui, did they bully you? If they bullied you, tell Shigong, Shigong will help you avenge."

"No, thank you Master."

"Ha ha."

"Master, you are here, let me introduce you, this is..."

"Hehe, no need to introduce, if I don't even know Mr. Su, how can I be your master? Zhang Yi has met Mr. Su."

"I knew that Master would say that..." Zhao Xu muttered when he saw that Zhang Yi really knew Su Shi.

"Oh? Do you know the old man?"

"I haven't met Mr. Li, but I heard Mr. Li talk about you. I don't have any other skills, but I can probably imagine the other person's appearance after hearing someone's explanation. Did Mr. Su just come back from Hangzhou? I remember a few Xu'er wanted to transfer you back a month ago."

"The old man set off when he heard His Majesty's announcement. Hey... this year, there was a lot of rain, and the road was muddy for more than three months before reaching the capital. The old man thought that he would never reach the capital again..."

"It turned out to be like this... The traffic in the Song Dynasty is indeed a problem. Zhang went to the Western Regions some time ago, and this trip took a few months...Xuer, as the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must build roads first, and you will be the first one after taking office. The task is to build roads, at least the roads between the main cities must be rebuilt."

"What? But Master, how much will it cost?"

"You don't have to worry about money... I will teach Shen Kuo the best road-building technology. The roads built with this technology are not afraid of wind and rain, and are not afraid of being crushed by the weight of vehicles. They also have a long lifespan. The future of the road, so it is worth spending a little money, and this kind of road is related to whether another means of transportation can be used, so you have to take it to heart.”

"I see...Master, is the new vehicle you mentioned the same as the one you told me?"

"No, but it's almost the same. The kind I told you can't be made with the current level of technology."

"Ah...then..."

"Although the means of transportation I just mentioned is inferior, the technical requirements are also relatively small. I estimate that it will be manufactured within ten years. As long as there is a road, it will take at most two or three days from Tokyo to Hangzhou. Xu Er, can you imagine Jiangnan How much money will be saved if the supplies, especially food, arrive in Tokyo in two or three days, and you can pay a small tax for the money saved, which can offset the money for road construction.”

"what……"

"Emperor, is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true, Xu'er, this is the power of technology, and you will gradually realize it in the future."

"Yes, Master."

"How is this possible? Emperor Master, don't mislead Your Majesty!"

"Hehe, Mr. Su doesn't even believe this, so why can't I say something even more powerful?"

"Master, is there anything more powerful?"

"Of course, the rail transit I mentioned to you yesterday is even more powerful. The rail transit is expensive to build, but it is also very profitable to use. It can transport two or three million catties at a time, and it can arrive in three or four days. Mr. Su, so Wouldn't it be harder for you to believe it."

"This……"

"Master, how long does it take to make the tool you mentioned?"

"It's probably ten years, hehe, it depends on how much Shen Kuo and the others can accept. I taught them to accept more, and the time to make it will be shorter. Xu'er, making this thing is not easy. You must do your best. Support them."

"what?"

"Rail transportation is entirely made of steel. Haha, are you scared after hearing this?"

"Master..."

"Don't worry, Master will naturally think of your worries. I will teach the best steelmaking technology, and the production of steel will increase greatly by then, so you don't need to worry about this aspect. In addition, this kind of steel is even more refined Steel is even better, and you want to prevent it from being smuggled into hostile countries."

"..."

"Emperor... you... this..."

"Okay, Mr. Su, just leave these matters to Shen Kuo and the others. I want to ask you another more important matter."

"Oh?"

"Master, what's the matter?"

"This is what I think. Under the Academy of Sciences, there will be a School of Education dedicated to the study of how to better develop Chinese culture, such as how to enlighten children to better accept it, and what methods can be used to make more people literate. Literacy, for example, what method can be used to make more people accept and support the development of technology, Mr. Su, this is a big thing, I am afraid you cannot do it alone, you need to find some more talents."

"Xu'er, you have to remember that any official you appoint in the future must go to the Academy of Sciences to study for a period of time, otherwise it will be useless for those who just know about it."

"..."

"Emperor Master, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to say that..."

"Hehe, Mr. Su gave me face and didn't scold me directly, but... Mr. Su, I'm speaking bluntly. Although you are the master of poetry in the Song Dynasty, when it comes to governance, you don't even care about my disciples. It's not as good, I say this not to shudder Master Su, but because I think a person's energy is limited, we can't ask everyone to think of gods and know everything... Hehe, Master Su, you understand when I say this. "

"The words of the emperor's teacher are indeed reasonable, but Su still wants to ask the emperor's teacher, since the emperor said that a person's energy is limited, why should he make such demands on officials? Isn't the emperor's saying so selfish? contradictory?"

"I think Mr. Su misunderstood. What I said about going to the Academy of Sciences to study for a period of time is not for them to learn and master the knowledge there, but for them to get a general understanding."

"Oh?"

"Lord Su, you have experienced the imperial examination before. I believe you are more familiar with the imperial examination than I am. Now I will ask you a simple question. Do you know when the rainy season is in Hangzhou before the imperial examination? You should have seen it when you went north. Do you know how to control the flood before the imperial examination? And how to prevent the plague after the flood?”

"I... Imperial Master, is it possible that the Academy of Sciences you mentioned only teaches this kind of knowledge?"

"That's just one aspect of it..."

"What? On the one hand? Master Emperor, please tell me what else the Academy of Sciences can teach?"

"Everything you can think of, of course military knowledge is not included."

"Everything I can think of?"

"Yes, including what the hell is on the moon."

"Ah... Emperor Master, is there really someone on the moon?"

"Hehe, I think you'll have to wait another year to find out about this question. Then you can see if there is anyone else."

"what……"
