Chapter 127 Zhao Jun Is the Backbone

Many people think that the Industrial Revolution is just a matter of steam engines. As long as the steam engine is invented, the first Industrial Revolution can be successfully completed.

This is actually wrong.

It took more than 80 years from the start to the completion of the first Industrial Revolution in real history.

And it was only after hundreds of years of colonial accumulation in the West, coupled with a substantial increase in technology, basic education and productivity, that this could be achieved.

The real problem of the Industrial Revolution is that basic knowledge cannot be fully mastered by a modern person. For example, if a person knows the principle of steelmaking, does he know how to make steel in industry?

Even if you know everything about steelmaking in a steel plant, do you know how to produce various catalysts and other things in the steelmaking process?

Then how to make steel into various tools, such as mining tools, and how to dig deep mines without collapsing?

Most high school students now understand the principles of early steam trains, but designing a train is not a matter of one or two years, and there are also problems such as machining accuracy.

The second is a more serious problem. The Industrial Revolution is actually based on agricultural development.

Otherwise, if there are not so many people farming, the yield will not be enough and they will starve to death. Don't think that it is feasible to vigorously develop commercial industry in the Three Kingdoms era. Where are there so many idle laborers?

So what are the conditions for the budding of capitalism?

It is because of the development of agriculture that more idle people have nothing to do, so industry can be developed. Therefore, when traveling to the dynasties before the Song Dynasty, it is not to develop industry first, but to find ways to develop agriculture first.

The Song Dynasty barely met the standard, with a population of 100 million and just completed the agricultural revolution. Due to serious land annexation, there are a large number of idle laborers, which can lead to the budding of capital.

But that's all.

The result of the lack of martial virtue is that even if you want to go out to get some gold and silver mines, you have to be sneaky.

The internal situation is also extremely unstable, and rebellions and uprisings are constant.

The scholar-official class is conservative and a profit group. It's not easy to get a time traveler, and these people still want to assimilate him, so you can know how difficult it is to reform.

Purgatory is just that difficult.

So Zhao Jun didn't expect to achieve it all at once from the beginning, but set a long-term goal, and it would be a success if he could complete the first industrial revolution within a hundred years.

Then, in the remaining hundreds of years, the second and third industrial revolutions will gradually accumulate, forming a global accumulation of technological advantages, thus becoming the eastern pole and forming an all-round crushing trend for the whole world.

It must be said that Zhao Jun is still very calm. He did not aim too high, but took a bird's-eye view, and was also making a plan that suited the national conditions of the Song Dynasty.

This plan was recognized by everyone.

Although it was a pity that the Song Dynasty could not be turned into a powerful country immediately, Zhao Jun was right. You can't eat a fat man in one bite. It is not easy to lay out a long-term and feasible plan, let alone implement it immediately.

There are still many difficulties ahead, and there is a long way to go.

The meeting ended at the end of the evening, that is, at seven o'clock in the evening. There were still nine hours before tomorrow's morning court, so everyone dispersed the meeting and went back to rest early.

Others either left from Gongchen Gate or went back from Donghua Gate. Zhao Jun lived outside Xihua Gate, so Zhao Zhen sent him out from Yanfu Palace Fudao.

In the early Song Dynasty, Yanfu Palace was a place for the emperor to rest and play. Next to it was Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion, and Baowen Pavilion, and to the north was the back garden, which was connected by a palace gate.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Huizong disliked the old Yanfu Palace because it was too small, so he built a new Yanfu Palace at Gongchen Gate.

But at this time, Yanfu Palace had not been expanded. When night fell, several palaces stood alone inside the city wall on the west side of the imperial city. Outside the palace, the trees were towering, and the grass and forests on both sides of the double-story road were lined. It was late autumn, and the autumn wind blew, and the fallen leaves flew.

Zhao Jun and Zhao Zhen walked side by side, and Wang Shouzhong, Cao Xiu and others followed carefully behind.

"Grandson, can the Song Dynasty really become strong?"

Zhao Zhen asked unconsciously.

Zhao Jun nodded seriously: "As long as we work hard and eliminate the main drawbacks step by step, there is still a good chance."

"Yes."

Zhao Zhen stretched out his white hand from his wide sleeves, patted Zhao Jun's shoulder, and said sincerely: "Grandson, everything is up to you."

"Okay."

Zhao Jun turned his head and looked at the white arm, always feeling something was wrong.

He always CPU Zhao Zhen, making Zhao Zhen form a path dependence on him.

At first I thought it was a good thing, at least now Zhao Zhen is very obedient and listens to him in everything.

But why is it that the more CPU, the more Zhao Zhen relies on him, and slowly becomes a woman, hoping that Zhao Jun will settle everything for him.

What if he really becomes a coward without any opinion in the future?

Okay.

Let him be a coward.

Zhao Jun thought to himself and said, "Brother, how is your health? Do you take Liuwei Dihuang Pills and Jinkui Shenqi Pills every day?"

"Yes."

"How does it feel?"

"Very good."

"That's good. Remember to exercise in addition to taking medicine."

"Yes, I'll take note, grandson."

"Yes?"

"I"

Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Can I try to have a child now?"

Zhao Jun thought about it.

In history, Zhao Zhen did not have no sons, but the children he gave birth to died young, which might be due to the poisonous buildings in the palace and the young age of the mother.

Now that Zhao Zhen has been abstinent for a long time, taking supplements and exercising every day, his own fertility should be fine.

If he doesn't live in the palace building with his mother in the future, and the mother is at least twenty years old, not a teenage girl, she can already have children.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jun said: "Try it first. You have a son in history. This proves that you have the ability to have children. It is just because of some things that the heir died. Don't live in the palace, live in the back garden." Log house, exercise more.”

"Okay, okay."

Zhao Zhen suddenly became emotional. For Lao Sepi, the past few months have been too uncomfortable.

I went to the harem last time because I wanted to do something.

But when he thought that he had no son and needed to recuperate his energy in order to give birth to a son, he gritted his teeth and left the harem in tears, regardless of the cries of many beloved concubines.

Now with Zhao Jun's permission, we can finally do something.

Thinking of the beauties in the harem who couldn't even look at them during this period, Zhao Zhen suddenly felt hungry and thirsty, and his mind was filled with the fragrance of many beauties.

Zhao Jun poured cold water on her and said, "But my suggestion is that you'd better have a baby with Queen Cao."

"ah?"

Zhao Zhen's originally happy face suddenly froze.

It seems that when watching a movie, I have been excitedly reading the story of seven strong men and a beautiful woman for several hours. When I opened it, I saw it was all Calabash Baby and Snow White.

Queen Cao?

That uninteresting iceberg woman?

Zhao Jun explained: "Empress Cao was born in a general family, practiced martial arts since childhood, and is in good health. The son born in this way will be healthy, and the son born in this way will be the eldest son, and his status will be stable. In order for you to have an heir, you must not mess."

"Okay."

Zhao Zhen looked embarrassed and reluctantly agreed.

Although he did prefer the coquettish bitches in the harem, Zhao Jun was right.

As a female general, Queen Cao is indeed more likely to have children due to her body shape, and the children born in this way will be healthy.

In order to have a son, he could only respond with tears.

After all, no matter what the heir is, the biggest problem is, as long as he can give birth to a son with Empress Cao, there will be no problem in finding a beautiful girl in the future.

The two people walked and talked and talked about other things.

As they were approaching Xihua Gate, Zhao Zhen suddenly said: "By the way, yesterday the great master sent me a letter asking whether your identity is a clan member. What do you think?"

"Da Zongzheng? Zhao Yunrang?"

Zhao Jun asked.

"Um."

"This guy must have heard the rumors about Bianliang."

"What rumors?"

"you do not know?"

"I really don't know. I haven't asked anything about the Imperial City Department recently."

"The Imperial City Secretary is a bit derelict in his duty, but you really don't need to know about this rumor. Some people say that I am the youngest son of Song Zhenzong."

"this"

Zhao Zhen was speechless. Are there such outrageous rumors?

If Zhenzong had a young son, why would he need to bring Zhao Yunrang's son into the palace to adopt him?

He is directly the emperor's younger brother.

Don’t the people of Bianliang have any sense in spreading rumors?

"Zhao Yunrang shouldn't be so stupid to believe some rumors after hearing them. Besides, you didn't send his son, Song Yingzong, out of the palace."

Zhao Jun asked.

Zhao Zhen said honestly: "How can I dare to send him out before I have a son?"

"Um."

Zhao Jun thought for a moment and said, "You didn't send Song Yingzong out, so he probably wouldn't care about me, but seeing my current weight, he's still a little worried, so he wrote a letter to test my situation."

"How to answer him?"

Zhao Zhen asked.

"Just say it's not a clan, and don't worry about anything else. Just live normally."

"Don't you need to say anything else?"

"No need, I don't want to deal with them. Things like Li Chu are always crazy. If he thinks that I pose a threat to Song Yingzong, he will get in trouble with me."

"All right."

"What you have to do now is to handle state affairs patiently, and then focus on having a son with Queen Cao."

Zhao Jun said: "If you don't have a son, he will definitely jump up and down. If you have a son, why should you care about him? Just protect your son carefully. If you find out that he is doing something behind your back, deal with it immediately with thunderous means." "

"Um."

Zhao Zhen nodded thoughtfully.

If you give birth to a healthy child, you must protect it as a treasure, but you can't allow others to harm it.

The two of them quickly arrived outside Xihua Gate.

Zhao Zhen warned softly: "Dasun, recently you asked all the ministries in the court to submit the count, and the courtiers have been quite critical. You should be more cautious in national affairs."

"What criticism can I have?"

Zhao Jun smiled and shook his head and said: "Submitting the statistical data of various departments to them is what they should do. The Constitutional Yuan is here to control the future direction of the country, not to solve their troubles. It is best for them to be obedient. The higher-ups Whatever you tell me, you will do it seriously. If you don’t obey me.”

"How about it?"

Zhao Zhen saw something wrong with his expression and asked curiously.

"hehe."

Zhao Jun sneered and did not answer directly, but said: "Brother, you have to hold on even in the palace. Our grandparents, one outside the palace and one in the palace, support each other and will build the Song Dynasty." stand up."

"good!"

Zhao Zhen nodded seriously and said solemnly: "I'll leave it to my eldest grandson."

The moon quietly climbed up the treetops.

Zhao Jun said goodbye to Zhao Zhen and went out of the palace.

Zhao Zhen stood at the palace gate, looking at the direction he left, and waved from afar.

Although they would meet again tomorrow.

But as long as Zhao Jun was there, he felt like he had a backbone.
