In the Song Dynasty, there was no law or order.
Chapter 524 Zhao Zhen leaves the capital
"Can I leave the palace?"
In the back garden, Zhao Zhen, who was still doing research on electromagnetic technology in the Physics Palace, was a little puzzled when he heard Zhao Jun suddenly coming over.
Shouldn't the eldest grandson be handling official business in the Constitutional Yuan at this time?
Why did you come here suddenly?
However, he did not hesitate and immediately let Zhao Jun in.
As a result, when Zhao Jun came over and told him the good news, Zhao Zhen was stunned.
Over the years, he has only been out of the palace twice, once for Zhao Jun's wedding, and the other time to watch the trains at the South Railway Station.
Although the situation is much better than before leaving the palace in history, the two times I went out were just a quick glance. I have never really seen this great river and mountains. Even Bianliang doesn't know what it looks like.
For an emperor, he has never seen how big his world is and what it looks like. It is undoubtedly a tragedy to not even know what our own capital city looks like.
So Zhao Zhen once proposed the idea of going out to Zhao Jun, but that was already seven years ago, and Zhao Zhen almost forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, Da Sun still remembered.
"Yes, when I expanded the palace for my brother, didn't I promise to build a few more palaces for you so that you can walk around?"
Zhao Jun walked to Zhao Zhen's workbench and took a look. There were all kinds of tools on it. It seemed that my brother was still very hardworking in his daily life of science and had been doing various experiments.
"I almost forgot about this."
Zhao Zhen put down the copper ring in his hand and smiled bitterly.
"Brother, don't forget me if you forget me. Although the palace has not been rebuilt, only the original palaces in various places have been renovated, but it is still okay to live in."
Zhao Jun smiled.
Thanks to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there are palaces built by Liu during the Southern Han Dynasty all over the country, including Guangzhou. After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, most of these buildings survived, but they were in disrepair and were slightly dilapidated.
During the Qingli period, the imperial court proposed a number of policies to revitalize the economy, including a large number of infrastructure construction, building roads, railways, houses, canals and other projects.
The palace renovation work is also being carried out almost simultaneously.
Many historical capitals of separatist regimes, including Chengdu in Bashu, Chang'an in Guanzhong, Luoyang in Henan, Beiping in Youyan, and Jinling in Jiangdong, as well as the capital palace of the unified regime, have all been maintained.
In addition, the railway system connecting major cities across the country has been completed after more than ten years of construction, and it is now time to set off.
"Very good."
Zhao Zhen showed an excited expression on his face and said: "I am going to Chang'an. I have long wanted to see how majestic the capital of the Tang Dynasty is."
"Don't worry, the emperor's trip is not a trivial matter. You must prepare for it. When the time comes, I will decide who I want to take with me and where I want to go. Let's make a plan together and wait until we are ready before setting off."
Zhao Jun smiled, then looked at Zhao Zhen's workbench curiously and said: "By the way, brother, I was very curious just now, what are you doing?"
There is a pile of messy things on the workbench, such as magnets, iron sheets, carbon particles, coils, copper rings, etc. There are also some black powdery things among them, which makes people confused about what they are inventing.
Zhao Zhen clicked the copper ring and said with a mysterious smile: "I have been thinking about inventing tapes and cameras. I really hope that future generations can hear our voices and see our appearance."
He continued: "And the previous microphones were very crude. You also know how simple the structure of the amplifier and microphone is. The amplifier is just some magnets and coils wound together to form a tone ring. The microphone is also made of magnets and coils. , add some carbon particles, and then amplify the current to diffuse the sound.”
"pity."
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "It's still too primitive now. What I say is extremely noisy. There is too much noise. It's fine if I'm close. But if I'm far away, I don't know what to say. Compared with the loudspeaker on my laptop, it's just useless." One is in the sky and the other is in the earth, so I also want to improve its function. "
"This is good, this is good."
Zhao Jun nodded repeatedly after hearing this and praised Zhao Zhen for his hard work in scientific research, but he was puzzled: "What does the camera, tape and microphone and amplifier have to do with each other?"
"The camera really has nothing to do with it. It has to do with photosensitive materials, so I asked the School of Chemistry and the School of Physics to purchase this together. But the tape does matter. They all record sound through magnetism."
Zhao Zhen pointed to the magnet and the black powdery thing and said: "So there are magnets in the microphone and amplifier. According to my estimation, the tape should be recorded with magnetic powder, and then use a special method to record the sound, and then use a special method to record the sound." way to play sound."
"That must be a tape player, also called a tape recorder. I saw it when I was a kid and even took it apart."
Zhao Jun suddenly realized.
The tape recorder is very old, and it seems that it has become less common after 10 years, because it was a popular thing in the 1980s and 1990s.
However, as a first generation born in 2000, he remembered going to his cousin's house to play when he was a child, probably in 2007 or 2008. When he was seven or eight years old, he also saw his cousin listening to English on this kind of tape recorder, which seemed to be called a Walkman at that time.
It’s just that it didn’t take long for this thing to withdraw from the stage of history, and was gradually replaced by various MP3s, MP4s and the like. My cousin’s Walkman was also thrown into a corner.
Until one day, Zhao Jun was bored. He was seven or eight years old, which is the age when people hate dogs. When he went to his cousin's house to play, he conveniently tore it down.
It's a pity that he has no talent in science.
When others were young, they dismantled various electrical appliances. Those with talent could quickly figure out the structure and then restore it.
Zhao Jun spent a long time restoring it, but when he saw that there were a few more screws and a bunch of small parts on the ground, the thing turned into garbage in the end, and he didn't understand what the structure was inside.
If he had studied science and had talent in this area, I am afraid that the technological progress of the Song Dynasty would not only be what it is now, but maybe TV sets would have been released.
"I already know how to make this tape. I believe it won't be long. Not to mention the tape, even the phone should be fine."
Zhao Zhen said proudly: "Their principles are actually the same. They record sound through magnetism, and then transmit the sound through current. They are all the same, but what is lacking now is to find suitable materials to use as tape carriers. "
"Scotch tape."
Zhao Jun scratched his head and said, "I remember when I was a kid, the tape my cousin used was just like tape, but the color was black."
"That's it."
Zhao Zhen said thoughtfully: "It seems that I have to try something like resin. As long as this joint can be opened, I guess tapes, phones and other things can come into being."
"This should be the case. It was mentioned in high school history classes. The telephone was invented as early as the 19th century, which shows that its principle is relatively simple."
Zhao Jun smiled and said: "With my ability, I believe that the phone will be available soon."
"Hahahahahaha."
Zhao Zhen was overjoyed to be praised by Zhao Jun.
He is 44 years old this year and already has everything he should have.
There is a Qingli miracle in the development of the country. From 1040 AD to 1054, in just 14 years, the national power of the Song Dynasty increased more than ten times.
Coupled with the Industrial Revolution, productivity increased explosively, external trade was active, internal production was accelerated, food grew like a spurt, the population also increased rapidly, and development was extremely rapid.
In terms of expanding territory, they first captured Yanyun, then destroyed Xixia, then took over the Western Regions, and now half of the Liao Kingdom has been incorporated into the Song Dynasty. The territory of the Song Dynasty reached more than 9 million square kilometers, which was similar to that of later generations.
Although there is no Tibet, Yunnan, and western Inner Mongolia in later generations, there is the Fergan Basin further west in the Western Region and parts of Outer Mongolia, North Korea, Russia and other countries.
Therefore, in terms of land area, it is actually basically the same as that of later generations. If calculated carefully, it should be only two to three hundred thousand square kilometers less.
If the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Dali are captured again, the land area will directly increase to more than 10 million square kilometers, close to 11 million square kilometers. If we capture Outer Mongolia, Qiuye Begonia will truly be unified.
Therefore, whether it is literary or martial arts, Zhao Zhen has reached the peak of history at this time. Even during the heyday of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was only comparable to the 12.37 million square kilometers during the Li Zhi period of the Tang Dynasty.
However, the peak territory of the Tang Dynasty lasted for a very short time, and domestic development could be said to be second to none among the feudal dynasties, but compared with industrial countries like the Song Dynasty, it lagged behind more than ten times.
Therefore, in the entire history, from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the present, in the nearly four thousand years of Chinese civilization, no civilization and dynasty can compare with the Song Dynasty at this time.
Zhao Zhen himself often thinks about what kind of posthumous and temple name he should take if he dies in the future.
Ordinary Song Shenzong, Song Xianzong, Song Shengzong, etc. are simply not worthy of being used as his temple names.
With his achievements in opening up new territories, he must at least have the title of "ancestor", and not even Song Shizu, so he has to add a few more characters.
Therefore, in this case, Zhao Zhen actually has nothing else to pursue.
I just hope that I can make more inventions and creations, not only reach an unprecedented level in the position of emperor, but also become a shining star in the scientific world.
In this way, even if a powerful emperor or scientist later surpasses him, at least he will be the best scientist among emperors, and the most powerful emperor among scientists.
Now that he heard Zhao Jun's affirmation of his scientific research ability, Zhao Zhen was naturally very happy. I am afraid that from then on, his greatness has been laid in history.
Zhao Jun then chatted with Zhao Zhen for a while, and took a walk in the back garden for a while. At this time, his limited science knowledge was actually no longer as good as Zhao Zhen's, and it was difficult to provide academic help.
But he has a lot of vision and knowledge. Even if he doesn't know the principle, he can describe its function and can also inspire scientists.
Just like science, in essence, is about using people's imagination.
Science fiction novels before World War I already imagined that people would be able to fly into the sky in the future, such as "From the Earth to the Moon" and "War of the Worlds".
There are other scientific products, such as the inventor of the submarine who was inspired by "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea". The helicopter was inspired by Robiel the Conqueror, the cell phone was inspired by Star Trek, and so on.
Therefore, the development of imagination is far more important than focusing on academic work.
I have to say that Zhao Jun’s many things inspired Zhao Zhen. After all, most of his knowledge came from his notebooks.
However, the knowledge carried by the notebook is very limited. Because there is no Internet, the only things that can be obtained from the notebook are those fleeting scenes in the movie, and it is difficult to give tips without even knowing what the function is.
But Zhao Jun knew their role and what the future development direction was. This is actually the best result, which can make the development of science and technology in Song Dynasty take a detour for at least several decades.
The next day, Zhao Jun stopped working and worked with Wang Shouzhong and Cao Xiu to make a schedule for Zhao Zhen's trip. Including the size of the accompanying guard, personnel arrangements and travel routes.
The next few days were the rest of the preparations. A group of elite soldiers were mobilized from the imperial palace guards to serve as the emperor's guard of honor, and 3,000 people were transferred from the Beijing camp to serve as the accompanying guards. They began to pack up their belongings and prepare to set off.
However, it was not possible to set off immediately, and they had to create momentum first.
So it didn't take long for the news that His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was going to inspect the local areas, go deep into the grassroots of the people, and comfort the people.
The civil service group, even Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiu and others, wrote letters to oppose it, using Emperor Yang of Sui as a negative example, saying that the emperor's tour was a waste of money and labor, and hoped that His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty would learn from the lessons of the Sui Dynasty.
However, the Political System Institute suppressed the opposition and issued an official decree. At the same time, newspapers in various places were also promoting this matter, mainly focusing on Zhao Zhen's diligence and love for the people, and the people-oriented ideology, explaining why he had to go out of Beijing for inspection.
As for the problem of labor and money, it was definitely a waste of labor and money in the past, but now with the train, the speed of travel has increased by more than ten times. It used to take at least two months to get from Bianliang to Chengdu, but now it only takes two or three days at most.
Take the train to Chang'an first, and then go south from Chang'an to Chengdu. The total distance is only more than 1,000 kilometers. If it is a direct train, it doesn't even take two or three days. It leaves in the morning and arrives the next morning. The speed is very fast.
Therefore, this problem was also refuted by the Political System Institute, and Zhao Zhen's travel was naturally solved smoothly when he encountered opposition from officials.
Soon it was early February. February of the 14th year of the Qingli calendar was the busiest time in Bianliang. Sometimes it snowed in various sections of the canal in winter, and it was common to encounter ice and snow blocking the river. The government often needed to organize people to break the ice, delaying the journey.
However, when spring came in February, the canal resumed unimpeded operation again, just like a highway during holidays. From the southern estuary of the Bianhe River to the Bianliang Wharf, more than ten miles, it was crowded with ships coming and going.
And with the construction of multiple railway stations, such as Bianliang West Station, which connected Luoyang, Chang'an and cities along the route, there were also countless people coming and going.
For a time, the population and prosperity of Bianliang continued to grow.
In this situation, on February 8, 19 days before the National Day of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty officially left Beijing and began his tour around the world.
