The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

While everyone was still immersed in the Dragon Boat Festival, a team quietly left the capital and headed south on a boat. They went to Dali Kingdom under the orders of the emperor. Of course, they were no longer a mission to spread friendly relations, but a secret arrow to subvert their regime.

.The operation was mainly powered by the Intelligence Department. In order to strengthen its power, the Guards Special Forces Brigade sent a team of ten people to assist.

At the same time, Gao Chong, who commanded the Jiangnan army, also received a secret order from the emperor, ordering him to go to Luzhou to form the command center in Northern Yunnan, and to command the imperial guards of Jiangling Town, Chengdu Fu Road, Tongchuan Fu Road, and Zizhou.

The two routes of the state army in Guangnan were hoarded, the grass and materials were collected, relevant military intelligence was collected, and the jungle and mountain combat training was strengthened. Once the Dali state had something to do, it could be ordered to go to war and quickly quell the rebellion.

In order to obtain strategic resources and open up the access to South Asia, Zhao Qiong made up his mind to subvert the current regime of Dali and establish a pro-Song government, so that it would become a chess piece in his hand. At this time, the bow was unsheathed, since they refused to satisfy themselves.

The wishes of the country can only allow them to launch a revolution. As for whether to change horses or destroy the country, it depends on the development of the situation and then make corresponding adjustments.

Just as the revolutionary storm in Dali was brewing under the instruction of Zhao Jie, he quietly launched a revolution, and this revolution did not expand the border and destroy the country, but if this revolution succeeded, it would not only change.

The Song Dynasty is likely to be the whole world...

Food shortages have been plaguing the world from ancient times to modern times. In order to obtain enough food to fill the stomach, people did not hesitate to kill each other and provoke wars. It can be said that the history of the development of mankind is the history of the struggle for food. At this time, the Song Dynasty introduced and promoted the occupation.

Urban rice relies on advanced farming technology to basically meet demand, but the grain output is still not high at this time. Once disasters and wars occur, food shortages will occur, and as the population increases, this contradiction will increase day by day.

Unrest will follow when it is not satisfied.

Now 70% of the population of the Song Dynasty is concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River, which has led to increasingly tense land in the south of the Yangtze River. The policy of ignoring land annexation has concentrated land in the hands of a few people, and the contradictions have become more acute. The northern region has sharply decreased due to the sharp decline in the war population and is affected by the climate.

Due to limitations, it is not suitable for large-scale planting of rice. Even if crops such as wheat and millet are promoted, the yield of fertile fields is only two stones, so a family must own at least 30 acres of land to meet their living needs and pay various taxes.

When encountering disasters, it becomes a refugee and flocks to Jiangnan, causing greater conflicts.

Nowadays, wars are still frequent, and a large number of troops are concentrated in Jiangbei. There are natural disasters and man-made disasters every year without knowing where such a large territory will cause. There are several large cities in the north, and recruiting refugees to farm in the north will not be effective in a year or two.

All of them have to rely on transporting ships from Jiangnan through canal ships, which puts huge pressure on the country and wastes a lot of manpower and material resources.

If you want to solve the problem of food and provide food relief in the year of disaster, you can support continuous wars, and you can only occupy more land or increase the output of food. Now, the Central Plains areas suitable for farming have basically fallen into the hands of the Song Dynasty.

The land in the northwest is barren, with only a few good land, so whatever you plant is good. Even if you grab it, you have to rely on the mainland to supply food and grass, so you can only find a way to increase the output.

Zhao Qiong was a farm manager in his previous life. He knew that the promotion of several crops changed the food structure and saved humans from famine. However, these crops only flowed into China through Western geographical discoveries hundreds of years later.

Columbus's ancestors didn't know where to turn their minds? It was better to seek others than to seek others. Zhao Qi was determined to be the pioneer of the great voyage in this world. When he took power, he began to form the "Academy of Science" and made careful preparations for this.

In recent years, Zhao Qiong has begun to explore new routes and accumulate long-distance experience with the navy as a pioneer. However, due to technical limitations, although the fleet has gone a little further than its previous generation, it has not reached the level that Zheng He had arrived in the Western Conference during the Ming Dynasty when he voyages to the West.

Africa is just a circling in the Middle East. This year he plans to launch a long voyage again, sailing eastward to explore routes to Central America, because there are corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, cotton and other crops that he needs to change the world, as well as chili peppers.

Tomatoes, peanuts and other delicious...

"Your Majesty, you reject your proposal to develop sextant instruments, schedule instruments, clocks, etc., and they all meet the requirements after trial!" Zhao Qiong came to Jixian Academy, a "Great Song Academy" located in Genyue.

Han Gonglian from Tongzhiyuan hurried over to salute.

"Master Han is exempt from gifts. Thank you for your hard work. It's time. How should our college reward you!" Zhao Qi hurriedly supported him and said with a smile.

Jixian Academy was originally one of the three museums of the Song Dynasty. After Zhao Jie ascended the throne, the institutions were streamlined and merged. However, the confidentiality institution established must not be without a name. It is a bit avant-garde in the name of the Academy of Sciences. If this name is good, it embezzled the name.

There are indeed hundreds of capable people from the Song Dynasty gathered here, including those who are proficient in math, astronomy, medicine, geography, architecture, etc., as well as top craftsmen.

The old man Han in front of him is not simple. He is proficient in arithmetic and astronomy. He was recommended by Su Song to create the "water amphibian celestial sphere" and compiled the "Nine Chapters of Pythagorean Test" which was passed down from later generations. However, these people have strange tempers.

He was willing to be an official, so Zhao Qiong also served as the magistrate in the court, so he called himself the court in front of them. Han Gonglian was old and prestige and could barely become a magistrate and presided over the work.

"These are all the ideas of Your Majesty. I personally draw and calculate. How dare I greedy for the achievements of heaven for myself!" Han Gonglian waved his hand, his attitude was very respectful, but not only because Zhao Qi was the emperor, but his profound arithmetics for him

My skills, extensive knowledge and wonderful ideas were impressed, but I didn't know that the binary equations they were still studying had become popular in the emperor's previous life in junior high school.

"Your Majesty only needs to lend your "Baowuzhi" to the next reading, and there is no reward!" A young man next to him interrupted at this moment.

"Haha, how can you show the treasures easily? When you have learned and learn, I will read them with you!" Zhao Qiong said with a wry smile. Zheng Qiao is even more amazing. He has read thousands of books and is well-versed in the principles of scriptures, rituals and music, and writing.

, astronomy, geography, insects and fish, and square books. After the Jingkang Incident, he wrote a letter to the anti-Jin period to attract Zhao Qi's attention. After being recruited into the capital, he discussed it in detail. He thought he was very knowledgeable, but he did not want to be an official, so he ended up just for the sake of

He was able to read the books in the palace and barely entered Jixian Academy.

With Zhao Xiao’s previous life’s knowledge, he could just make the ancients go around. After a few talks, the king and his ministers attracted Zheng Qiao. But this person was serious and asked the source of what the emperor said. Zhao Xiao was so arrogant.

Then, I can't fool people with "Meet the Immortals" anymore, so I said that I saw it from an ancient book "Bowuzhi", so Zheng Qiao always pestered the emperor to have a look.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you are planning to organize a long voyage to the extreme east to find several types of plants and trees, so that the people of the world can be spared from the suffering of famine. I want to go abroad with the fleet to share your worries!" Zheng Qiao said.

"Do you know that the sea is vast and the wind is high and the waves are rushing. It is very likely that the board will not return. It is too dangerous, so don't go!" Zhao Qiong smiled at Zheng Qiao's weak body.

"Scholar Zheng, Your Majesty is right. Looking for an unknown place in the ocean. Maybe after several years, you, as a scholar, don't take risks!" Han Gonglian also advised.

"I am proficient in astronomy, geography, and can tell that plants and trees are useless. Besides, I also want to see what the extreme east land looks like. There is really the magical thing Your Majesty said!" Zheng Qiao said dissatisfied.

"Well, what you said makes sense. After I think about it, let's see how the giant boat wood pattern is made first!" Zhao Qiong said as he walked, thinking in his heart that if such a knowledgeable person had accompanied him, it would be better to do it early.

A Song Dynasty "Darwin" has been cultivated for hundreds of years...

"Your Majesty, this is a warship. According to Your Majesty's instructions, we reduced the width of the hull, strengthened the keel, designed a double-layer hull, and added a compartment. The captain was fifteen meters long and could carry tens of thousands of hu!" When we arrived at the backyard worker

Han Gonglian pointed to a ship and introduced that for this long voyage, Zhao Jie summoned a group of shipbuilders to participate in the design of sea ships suitable for long voyages. Now he has made wooden samples and asked the emperor to check them.

"Well, it's great, but this ship needs to be loaded with cannons, which will generate a lot of recoil when firing. Can the deck bear it?" Zhao Qi looked carefully and asked. He absorbed the Western sails of this warship in later generations.

The advantages of wooden warships make the ship faster and the battlefield survivability is stronger.

"Your Majesty, the deck has been strengthened. Ten cannons can be placed on each side of the ship's side, and twenty-two cannons can be arranged with bow and stern cannons!" Han Gonglian said several times.

"It may be difficult to see land after going to sea for several months. The crew is very tired easily. The resting place must be designed as spacious and comfortable as possible!" Zhao Qiong nodded and said that the warship is now a thousand-ton warship, equipped with this kind of firepower

It's invincible in this era.

"Your Majesty, we have thought of it, please look at this ship!" Han Gonglian said, pointing to a wooden figure with a hull that is wider than a warship, "This ship is divided into three layers, the bottom cabin can carry food and fresh water, and one layer can be raised

Chicken and pigs can also be grown and vegetables for use on the way by sailors. This boat can also be used as a merchant ship!"

"Yes, there are fresh vegetables and meat along the way, which is very good for increasing physical strength!" Zhao Qiong nodded and praised. This is the ancient supply ship. In ancient times, there was no refrigerator that could not store fresh food. This solved the big problem, and it would not be because

Septicemia occurs when vitamin deficiency occurs.

Then Han Gonglian introduced other ships they designed, including clutches for reconnaissance, flat-bottomed ships used in shallow waters and giant boats that can be used as command ships. They all have all kinds of functions, which made Zhao Qiong want to board the ship to ride the wind and waves to explore the new continent.

Go.

"Yes, you can make the shipyard manufacturing and trial sailing. If it is successful, you can go to sea!" Zhao Qi slapped the board and ordered it to be put into production. "I will select sailors to learn the use and maintenance of those new instruments, and then order people to send it!"

He breathed a sigh of relief, if everything goes well, he will be able to sail to sea next year...
