"Alien Castle Era ( to find the latest chapter!
After Yang Song returned to Zhongjing from Linhai City, he didn't wait for Zhang Juzheng to find him first, so he summoned the opponent first.
Yang Song told Zhang Juzheng about the development of the navy. Anyway, anyway, Yang Song meant to let Zhang Juzheng give money.
Zhang Juzheng was so angry, but there was no way to vent it, so he could only fight for reasons, showing that Xia Guo still had a lot of money to spend.
"Uncle, I know what you are talking about." Yang Song waved his hand to stop Zhang Juzheng, who was anxiously jumping, and explained: "I didn't let the Caige give out so much money at once. I only need to budget every year. Give the navy a little bit more."
Zhang Juzheng took two deep breaths and calmed down his heart. According to Yang Song, he thought for a while and replied: "Since your Majesty has reached this point, the minister will do so."
"If there is something in the future, I hope your Majesty will inform you in advance, and the minister should be prepared." After reluctantly agreeing to Yang Song's request, Zhang Juzheng was afraid that Yang Song would suddenly eliminate some moths in the future, so he had no choice but to shout. call.
Zhang Juzheng couldn't help it either. He was just a "civilian" and Yang Song was a monarch. He could only follow the order, but if he really agreed to everything, his income would only be so much in a year, and the money would not fall from the sky.
So many times Zhang Juzheng used his head to argue with Yang Song. Fortunately, Yang Song is also a Mingjun, so he will not be blamed for this, otherwise Zhang Juzheng would have moved his head a long time ago.
This time Zhang Juzheng also got some news from the navy, but he was actually mentally prepared. The "trigger" just now was more to show Yang Song the difficulties of the head of the cabinet.
The construction of Xia’s internal railway network and the railway linking the northern kingdom of ice and snow requires a large amount of funds every year.
And the development of people's livelihood in Xia State, education, water conservancy, transportation, science and technology, medical care, sports... Which of these places can be less money?
Not to mention the rigid expenditure of military expenditures. Xia Guo can develop and grow step by step, and there is no place where money is not used.
Now even a few years old of Xia Guo knows that the economic foundation determines the superstructure, which shows that Xia Guo is most concerned about economic development.
In the past, before occupying the land outside the pass, Xia’s main development direction was biased towards the military, but even so, other aspects were just different in priority, not without development.
Otherwise, within a few decades, Xia Guo has developed from the initial cold weapon era to the current steam era. Of course, the information in the library from the system rewards has greatly increased. help.
However, the information of the system reward is only some basic, without further application technology and more in-depth information, which is equivalent to the system just opening the door of the steam age to Xia Guo.
The rest cross the gate to move forward or to linger outside the gate. This is Xia Guo’s choice. Even if someone gives you a seed, you still need to work hard and water to grow into a tree. Like a towering tree.
Not to mention that the current Xia Guo has grown into a towering tree, but at least it has been cultivated by Yang Song to a small tree that is not easily destroyed by wind and rain.
And Yang Song's next goal is to continue to cultivate the strong little tree of Xia Guo into a towering tree.
It's not that he doesn't have a bigger and farther goal, it's not that Yang Song doesn't want Xia Guo to use the wood of this towering tree to build a ship that rides the wind and waves, but that his life as a human restricts his steps. !
This year (the eighth year of Qiyuan) Yang Song is fifty to five years old. He has already reached his fate, and often feels powerless. He only hopes that Xia Guo's successors can continue to move forward with the will of their ancestors!
"Hey~!" Yang Song sat in the study alone, looking at the large pile of things he had just handled, looking down at the dark spots on his hands, and sighed unknowingly.
Even if there is eternal pride, it is hard to beat the vicissitudes of the years!
------------
At the end of the twelfth year of the Qiyuan period (the forty-first year of the Apocalypse), this year's Zhongjing City was exceptionally prosperous, and foreign officials also had to return to Beijing to report on their duties, not to mention that this was the last year before the 60th birthday of the Emperor Yang Song. .
According to news from the imperial palace, Prince Yang Xian will hold a grand celebration for Yang Song’s 60th birthday next year. Therefore, the businessmen who got the news early came to Beijing at this time to see if there was any profit.
Not only businessmen, but also students from other places, and the people who came to join in the fun, all rushed to Zhongjing City, bringing unprecedented crowds to this already prosperous city.
For this reason, officials inside and outside Zhongjing City urgently promulgated a policy to restrict the flow of people, otherwise it is estimated that there will be no way to settle in Zhongjing City.
The lively and prosperous Zhongjing City, the palace is also busy, not for other reasons, only for the upcoming year-end big dynasty ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ Over the past few years, especially in the past five years, the changes in Xia Country can be It's really the same every day, but it makes people sigh that it can't keep up with the pace of the times.
If the foreigners from five years ago came to Xia again, they would find that the changes in Xia were far beyond their imagination.
Taller buildings are stacked on top of each other, things you haven't seen before are everywhere, and all kinds of steaming machines are flooding the streets and lanes...
The changes brought about by the continuous development in the past five years are very big. Not to mention other things, the application and popularization of steam engines are completely different from before.
Five years ago, steam engines only existed in various factories, and most of them were state-owned factories, but now, steam engines have penetrated into the private sector.
The novel steam locomotives appearing on the street from time to time, braving the black smoke to pull a carriage of goods forward and diligently; there are even escalators driven by steam engines in large shops...
If Yang Song didn't know that this was the change brought about by Xia Guo's in-depth research, he would have thought he had entered a steampunk world again.
The benefits of the popularization and application of steam engines are self-evident, but the disadvantages are not without them, that is, the environmental pollution is particularly great.
In the city, the blue sky and white clouds in the past have been replaced by the gray sky at this time; the first thing that the people who work for a day return home is to bathe and change clothes, otherwise the dust is really unbearable.
Fortunately, Yang Song knows that this is a ill brought about by scientific and technological progress, which cannot be changed by manpower. Unless we give up the use of steam engines and give up the development of science and technology, this situation will continue until mankind can use enough clean energy. until.
But is it possible to abandon the development of technology and the use of steam engines? The answer is already known to everyone!
