The Great Song has been going smoothly this year, and there has been no disaster this year. The war with Daliao was also won perfectly.

Under the supervision of Yu Yongan's anti-corruption inspection brigade, the corruption of various officials has also slightly curtailed.

So, after many years, the royal treasury and granary were also full.

The imperial court was calm, and Zhao He was rarely arrogant and lascivious for a while. The previous Song Huizong accepted many beautiful women.

Many women have not yet been favored, and Zhao He adheres to the attitude of rain and dew, and works hard to turn over different signs every day. The harem also presents a peaceful atmosphere.

The people also sang about this prosperous age.

Of course, Zhao He knew that it was only Tokyo that was calm, just on the edge of the Imperial City.

The Great Song Dynasty is vast and wealthy, limited by the speed of transportation and information transmission, and the people of various prefectures and counties below still live under the hegemonic rule of local officials.

Whether life is good or not depends on how the local officials are. Lucky, catch a Qing official, then life is not bad. If you catch up with a corrupt official and then unite with a spilled bully or something, the people will still live in misery.

Moreover, the percentage of corrupt officials can reach about 890 percent. Therefore, governing the lower counties has also become the biggest headache for Zhao He at present.

There is no internet, no telephone, no mayor's hotline. Communication basically relies on roaring, heating basically relies on shaking, and traffic basically relies on walking....

The weather is getting colder, the palace is getting cooler, and the palace people have begun to add clothes.

Only then did Zhao He remember that even in the palace in winter, heating relied on the stove. Fortunately, Wuda's heaters were also filled with family gates, and he had to ask Wuda to install heaters in his various palaces.

Because the palace is relatively large, there are many palaces, this is bound to be a big project, in view of the large heating area, Wuda designed a boiler room for him, and the entire palace was applied to central heating.

As for the people, only the rich and noble can afford to install heaters. After all, this thing consumes a lot and wastes more, and if it is all integrated into a community mode, it will save a lot.

Zhao He had heard that Wuhan University wanted to carry out real estate projects, but he was helpless, but he was not developed because of the lack of conditions such as plumbing and gas.

Moreover, the ventilation of the building is relatively good, relying on windows, and glass has not been popularized in this era, it is all paper paste. It clearly did not meet the construction standards of later generations.

There is not so much glass in the palace, and the light transmittance is not enough, although it is already available, but it is only limited to the princes and nobles to play, and it has not reached the standard of application everywhere.

Most of the glass in the palace is inadvertently fired by the people, or it is made by repeated firing.

If you want to apply glass to windows, this era has not had such a luxury practice.

Everything can not rely on Wuda, Zhao He also knows a little about it, after all, the people already have a method, but subject to not understanding the specific material, the fired glass is often too impurities, not enough light transmission.

The palace is too big, even the house is put with candles from time to time, not good, not scientific at all.

Zhao He had a whim and asked Yu Yongan to find a few craftsmen who fired glass.

A small area was chosen in the palace for people to burn glass and make doors and windows.

The raw materials of glass are very rich, nothing more than silica sand, that is, quartz sand, and it must be pure. There are no conditions to clean up impurities, so the purity of raw materials is as high as possible.

The alkali noodles used by people to steam steamed buns are sodium carbonate, plus limestone fired at the construction site of Wuhan University, that is, calcium carbonate. With the basic ingredients ready, Zhao ordered the people to start firing and adding ingredients to it.

As for purification, oxidation and other processes, all are omitted. The first will not, and the second is not too necessary to make it so fine now

, so the first batch of fired glass is green, and the light transmittance is not very good, but it is far stronger than the window paper.

The craftsmen fired the first batch of glass, which already surprised Zhao Yao.

Later, using the same method to make window-sized glass blocks, it is much easier.

Moreover, cutting glass is also simple, only diamond, that is, diamond, is complete, smooth. Although there are not many diamonds, there are still some gift jewelry brought by foreign countries in Fanbang, which are used to make glass knives, which is simply not too convenient.

Zhao Yao's hand in the palace also surprised the eunuchs and palace maids and concubines in the palace.

The crafts in the palace are not absent, but they are all extremely valuable. I didn't expect that the glass made of these sand lime was no less than crafts in terms of light transmission.

"The official family is really magical!"

"The official is mighty!"

"Long live the official family!"

The palace resounded with praise due to technology. This is significantly different from the compliments of the previous one.

Although Zhao He has been an emperor for most of the year, he still enjoys this heartfelt affirmation.

At this time, the strategic principle of rejuvenating the country through science and technology, which he discussed with the ministers in the court, finally had a foothold.

Most of the country's economic resources come from agriculture, which undoubtedly limits its own development. All crafts, tools, carts and horses revolve around eating, and all heavy physical labor is the economic pillar of the country. It's obviously hard to have the spare energy to develop something else.

Like this glass. Small as crafts, it is useless, but after large-scale output, it can also replace the current window paper and increase the light transmittance of the room. Moreover, glass is all produced, what magnifying glass, zooming glass, telescope, that is not yet made in minutes?

This kind of thing, just need Zhao He to provide the craftsmen with an idea, and soon, the first magnifying glass and the first telescope were made.

The contemporary Son of Heaven has refreshed people's cognition again and again, and with the popularization of the glass firing method, Zhao He will surely be famous in this world.

Wuda, on the other hand, ignored the affairs outside the window and devoted himself to studying the first generation of locomotives driven by steam engines in the future.

Tires, iron, no tire production, can only be wrapped in wood, reduce the pressure of walking, make the car lighter.

Iron bearings, iron chains, used to connect the power source. What brakes, clutch, is a very difficult thing. After all, the original machine was not designed to hang gear, only forward, not even backward. That at least you have to ensure driving safety, right?

The driving is not standardized, and the relatives are in tears. So the original focus of Wuhan University was on how to walk and how to brake. Cornering is easy, similar to the tricycles of later generations, just have a handlebar. What steering wheel, too complicated, and there is no electronic assistance, the car cannot turn when it stops.

The original tractor made him a tricycle, which was hard enough for him.

What I thought was simple and simple, I designed it for a month. The drawings are painted and modified, the parts are melted and beaten, and the parts are melted and melted.

Finally, with the completion of Zhao Yao's simple firing glass technology, he immediately announced to the world, launched the initiative of rejuvenating the country through science and technology, gathered talented craftsmen from the people, and strengthened the construction of the Ministry of Engineering, which was ignored by the world.

For a time, all the talented craftsmen gathered in the Imperial City. The products they had previously produced and invented were all under Zhao He's observation and gave guidance in general directions. Everyone suddenly opened, and for a while, Da Song suddenly entered a boom in the study of new things.
