[Southern Song Dynasty] Splendid mountains and rivers

Zhong Yi let out a muffled laugh.

He stretched out his hand to straighten her collar again, sighed long, and slowly let it go: "Let's go. I remember that there is a relic of an ancient battlefield in the upper reaches of this river. If you dig carefully, Maybe there will be some side gains."

It is located in Guanlong, where the ancient pre-Qin Dynasty was located.In the pre-Qin era, there was a very powerful Qin crossbow that had been lost for thousands of years.

It is said that this kind of Qin crossbow thousands of years ago killed all the barbarians.It is a pity that since the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the documents and classics have been scattered and lost.It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once wanted to restore this Qin crossbow, but after decades of thinking, he still failed.

Although he knew that this hope was extremely slim, he still wanted to give it a try.

Zhao Yuan hummed, led the horse to leave, suddenly slapped his head, and remembered an extremely important matter.

She was dazzled by Yelu Dashi and the Xixia envoys, and she even forgot that the piles of gold, silver, copper and iron accumulated in her space were useless.She hurriedly said "wait a minute", took two steps back, and carried out pieces of pure iron in the space.

Zhong Yi's face gradually changed.

From the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the present, salt and iron have been exclusively sold by the imperial court, which shows the importance of "iron".Most of the mined iron ore is impure and needs to be quenched and smelted before it can be used as wrought iron.Now what Zhao Yuan carried out piece by piece...is actually pure wrought iron?

"I asked the craftsman for some iron blocks earlier." She said while carrying them, "You should have seen these things before. They are in my portable space. Look, are they enough?"

She raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and looked at Zhong Yi, her clear pupils were full of smiles.

Zhong Yi pursed his thin lips slightly, gradually closed his eyes and then opened them again, nodded: "Yes."

His expression fell into Zhao Yuan's eyes, but it had another meaning.Zhao Yuan looked at him, then at the pile of wrought iron, and asked tentatively, "Something difficult?"

"Yes... a little bit." He seemed a little helpless, "If such a large batch of wrought iron cannot be properly routed, it will definitely be another round of impeachment." He paused, and then said, "However, it doesn't matter. There are many papers to impeach me, and this one is not bad."

"Then wait." Zhao Yuan stopped him with a voice, thought for a moment, and then said, "Why don't you find some trustworthy people and pretend to be bandits."

"Mountain bandit?"

"Yeah. Then, the Western Army has made great achievements in suppressing the bandits, and got hundreds of thousands of wrought iron. The bandits are all the leaders, and Nii is the army."

"..."

Therefore, Her Highness Di Ji's evil ideas have always emerged endlessly.

As expected, Zhong Yi ordered people to perform a big show of suppressing bandits, and then sent the batch of wrought iron back to smelt armor.After finishing this matter, the two of them went to the pre-Qin ancient battlefield that Zhong Yi mentioned, but unfortunately they found nothing.

On the way back to the mansion, Zhong Yi suddenly asked her: "By the way, I have arranged for all the colored glaze craftsmen you sent to Shuozhou earlier, and they also opened kilns to make colored glaze early. But at the Zaozuo mansion... ...do you have any excuses?"

Zhao Yuan smiled and shook his head: "I've already dealt with it."

Zhong Yi felt a little relieved.

After all, it is a royal craftsman used by the queen. If it is not handled well, it will also cause endless troubles.

"One more thing." He said again, "I carefully compared the colored glaze sheet you left me, and asked them to do the same, but the image that comes out is always a bit blurry. Do you know why? "

Blurred?

Zhao Yuan blinked, and asked: "Did you compare all the protrusions...no, the glass pieces, to the same distance?"

Zhong Yi nodded: "I have compared them carefully, and there is nothing wrong with them."

Zhao Yuan staggered, and managed to support the horse to stabilize his body.She looked at Zhong Yi and said seriously and solemnly, "I think I should teach you how to focus first."

Different lenses come in different sizes and thicknesses, and even if the difference is only a few millimeters, the focal length will be very different.This guy...how did this guy "carefully and accurately" compare the original distance...to adjust the focus...

Zhong Yi probably felt that he was wrong, so he coughed softly, unable to hide his embarrassment.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." She shook her head and said with a smile: "I heard that the long history sent to me by the emperor's brother has arrived. Do you want to go with me to meet him?"

Zhong Yi said "yes", then suddenly shook his head and said, "That's not right. I'd better go and see the racecourse first. After you've settled down, go find me."

Zhao Yuan let out a somewhat disappointed "Oh".

Changshi is an official position, which is generally only seen in princely mansions.

Of course, in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the princess was more important than the prince, and the mansion also had a long history.However, the status of the princess in this dynasty has always been low. This time Zhao Huan sent the chief historian and subordinate officials here, which can be said to be the first time in the world.Zhao Yuan met the long history respectfully, and was reprimanded by the long history so-called "clan elder", and finally went back to his room holding ten volumes of dusty "Women's Rules" .

She conveniently took the girl as a paperweight, bit the pen holder, and began to plan her big plan for farming.

Earlier, Zhao Yuan had planned to turn half of Yanyun into a field for the Western Army.Although the senior officials of the Western Army didn't say much, they were extremely happy in their hearts.Now that she has done what she said, she has to take advantage of the spring plowing to get this matter in order.

One of the most difficult problems is that most of the fields in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun have become military fields, so what about ordinary people?

Zhao Yuan bit the pen holder for a long time, and slowly wrote a few lines on the paper.

First, Yanyun prohibits alcohol.

Second, farmers are exempt from taxes.

Third, merchants are registered as good citizens, and the tax is one out of ten.

Fourth, there is a reward of [-] yuan for those who donate fine seeds.

Fifth, we sincerely welcome the underworld warriors to come to Yanyun to make alchemy for the eldest princess, and by the way adjust the black...

Fine wine is extremely food-consuming and must be banned.

The agricultural tax is exempted, and see how the people below are still yelling.

Merchants are registered as good citizens, so let’s do business as soon as possible... Only when the business is prosperous can the economy explode...

As for improved varieties, she is not Yuan Longping, and she does not know how to breed hybrid rice, but she has learned a little about the basic theories of genetics.She not only has to choose good seeds, but also sows good seeds throughout Yanyun.As for the technical problems of intensive cultivation and intercropping, I should leave it to the officials below.Oh, by the way, there are too many scholars and too many officials here, so half of them have to be cut off.

As for black gunpowder, that was completely the obsession in Zhao Yuan's heart.She can't make nitroglycerin, but she has never given up on gunpowder, a weapon against the sky.Since the Ming Dynasty could make all kinds of firearms, she offered a huge reward to the smartest people in the world, and threw them a most heaven-defying subject for them to experiment. There must be someone who can make gunpowder ahead of time... …Oh, by the way, although the Song Dynasty also has gunpowder now, this kind of gunpowder can only be used for firecrackers. It is pure nonsense to really go into battle to kill the enemy.

Zhao Yuanzai thought about it carefully for a long time, but couldn't think of anything missing, so he carefully folded the piece of paper, threw it into the space, and went to find her long history.

Unsurprisingly, the long history scolded her head and face, and the five points she just said were refuted to nothing.Speaking of later, Master Changshi also decided to write to the court, requesting to take back Yanyun's exclusive power of Emperor Ji Roufu.

Zhao Yuan laughed twice, ordered someone to hand over the paper to Zhong Yi, and at the same time grabbed Mr. Chang Shi, and the subordinate officials assigned to her as the Princess of Yan Kingdom, as well as those who had originally stayed in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. Officials, big and small, played Tai Chi with their lips.This is called Mingxiu plank road to cover Chen Cang secretly. Her Royal Highness Di Ji has been playing around for a long time, even if Zhao Huan came in person, she would still do it right.

As a result of keeping Chen Cang in the dark, the government and the Privy Council sent her a supervising army, Jiedu envoy, Xuanfu envoy, and imperial envoy, who held an imperial decree to match Tai Zu with a sword, and had the right to kill first and then play.

But the military supervisor, Jiedu envoy, Xuanfu envoy, and imperial envoy is her third brother, Zhao Kai, king of Yun.

This is what Zhao Kai said when he read the imperial decree.

"The government has a decree to eliminate the troubles of Xixia forever, and drive the Khitan people to the north of Mobei and the west of the Western Regions..."

The people below who received the order were terrified and baffled.Even Zhong Yi was baffled by being temporarily pulled over.This is obviously a will to warn Empress Roufu to be cautious in her words and deeds. How did it become "to eliminate the border chaos forever"?

"Roufu Emperor Ji Wen strictly abides by etiquette, has a bright nature, and my heart is very comforted..."

Zhao Yuan also felt that something was wrong when he heard it.She secretly did many outrageous things in Yanyun, why did her imperial brother say "My heart is so comforting"? ...

"However, the system of the Song Dynasty cannot be abolished, and the etiquette cannot be abolished... All the taxes paid in Yanyun are all paid from the Princess Yan's mansion..."

puff--

Zhao Yuan spat out a mouthful of old blood.As expected, he is indeed her good brother. Yan Yun can be exempted from taxes, but Da Song has to pay taxes from top to bottom, how can Yan Yun be spared?Princess Yan wants to be exempted from taxes, so please ask the princess to pay the taxes for the entire Yanyun.

Zhao Kai finished reading the imperial decree with a smile, and solemnly handed it over to Zhao Yuan, and then said to her earnestly: "The government has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and I can't let the government down. My long history is a bit awkward... Well, it’s not good, it’s not good. The third brother will lend you his long history for a few days, how about you?"

Zhao Yuan twitched his lips, isn't it just replacing the officials from the official family with those from King Yun...

"Thank you so much, Third Brother." She shrugged meaninglessly, "It happens that Third Brother works in calligraphy, is extremely famous, and is entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the government. Why don't you work with my sister to sort out this Yanyun's stubborn illness?"

The corner of Zhao Kai's mouth twitched: "Forget it."

Are you kidding me, what are you kidding, he is an idle prince who works in pen and ink, he wants to clean up Yanyun from top to bottom, he wants to fight hard to eliminate the disaster at the border forever, who will have more tricks than this imperial sister?

He still obediently clutched the imperial decree, and forget it when he was his supervisor.
