The Song Dynasty was beaten by Liao so much that he had to call his brother, and was harassed by Xixia so that he had to pay money every year to ensure safety. He thought that after destroying Liao with Jin, he could seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and defend the Great Wall, but unexpectedly, he was pressed to the ground and rubbed it with Jin, and he was so beaten that he doubted his life.

The most tragic thing is that the entire China was stunned. What about the promised Celestial Empire? What is the situation when the barbarians pressed to the ground to rub it!

Regarding Song's weakness, Song's own people also think that it was because the horse-raising land in the northwest was snatched away by the Xixia, the ** boy. Song could not develop and strengthen the cavalry, so every time he encountered Xixia and Liao, he would be pressed to the ground to rub back and forth, rubbing on the smooth floor! His steps were originally good, but the steps turned into the devil's steps!

Zhao Huan, who had traveled through time, knew that the Song Dynasty lacked cavalry and was repeatedly fucked down. When he arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou was forced to stop calling his brother and called him the father of the Jin thief.

Cavalry did have natural advantages in the era of cold weapons. Whether Emperor Wu of Han killed the Huns and called them grandpa, or the heroic Tang Dynasty was intimidating all directions, the Central Plains dynasty had all mastered powerful cavalry.

Later, the perverted Mongolia conquered the world because there was a cavalry that made the world so painful!

The cavalry, even in World War I, still existed. It was not until tanks and machine guns were put on the battlefield on a large scale that cavalry turned into history.

Therefore, cavalry is indispensable to developing Song into a powerful empire.

But having cavalry alone is not enough. After all, Zhao Huan is a time traveler, and his eyes are longer than those of this era. Before traveling, the protagonists who read the time travel novels he read returned to ancient times were not all developing hot weapons?

Without thermal weapons, even if the cavalry was vigorously developed, it would be difficult to guarantee that the Song cavalry could have been able to survive the perverted Mongolia that accidentally rose up inadvertently.

Some people say that Mongolia can be destroyed in advance and the roots can be eradicated, but a few hundred years later, the cannons of the gay country were bombarded in Guangzhou?

Therefore, no matter what, the Celestial Empire still needs to develop thermal weapons.

However, thermal weapons do not mean development. Zhao Huan, a small employee of the enterprise, knows nothing about weapons. At most, he relies on some of the simplest knowledge that Baidu came from when he was a keyboard warrior online in his previous life. This is obviously far from enough.

What should I do? After finally becoming an emperor, the manpower and material resources of the entire China are in my own hands. There are so many people, the richest country on the entire planet, so you can’t retreat because of the difficulties.

Let's do it first!

What should I do? Of course, I need to have a deep understanding of what weapons the Song Dynasty has now. At the same time, he has asked Wang Boyan to count the steel production volume of the entire Song Dynasty last year.

In addition, he also looked through last year's fiscal revenue.

The good news is that the steel production volume of the Song Dynasty far exceeded his expectations, and it is obvious that there is a chance to develop into an industrial country!

The steel production volume last year was as high as 150,000 tons!

Once in my previous life, Zhao Huan forgot to bring paper when he went to the toilet. Just now, there was a world history book on the side. When he used the book to wipe his butt, he occasionally caught a glimpse of it. In the 18th century, Britain seemed to have only produced 70,000 tonnes a year in about 1788!

That was the gay country after the Industrial Revolution!

The steel-making gods of the Song Dynasty were so arrogant?

There is good news and bad news. The treasury money has reached the warning line!

Damn it! It was squandered by Zhao Ji and his damn favorite ministers!

Therefore, Zhao Huan had several problems ahead of him: one is external troubles; the second is financial crisis; and the third is technology.

These three points are closely related to the factor of "culture".

The Song Dynasty was the most prosperous era of Confucian culture. The strong civil servants led to weakening the country and causing constant external troubles.

In the late Northern Song Dynasty, political corruption also led to a financial crisis.

Because Confucian culture is too strong, technology has been suppressed to a certain extent.

Therefore, Zhao Huan's goal is also clear: kill Kongjiadian, kill corrupt scholars, adjust social and economic forms, develop commercialism, vigorously encourage innovation, and spend money on research.

It will take unknown how long it will take to complete these, but Zhao Huan knows that he must control the support of two forces: the army and the people!

Only by holding the army in his hands can he be less afraid of those corrupt scholars, nor even more afraid of the Kong family. Only by receiving the support of the people can he be a steadily emperor.

His purpose of doing these things is also very simple: to eradicate the border problems in China!

The historical trend of the Celestial Empire is very sensual. There were many opportunities in history to engage in commercialism and technological civilization, but the rise of foreign enemies is completely unreasonable.

In the Song Dynasty, both commercialism and technology developed quite well, and even the way of governing the country was much civilized. At least there were no real tyrants. But the goods in the north were restless and wanted to come down to grab things when it was cold.

The developed Southern Song Dynasty had already started maritime trade. Once maritime trade was opened, a new ecology would be opened up, which might truly move towards commercialism, but unfortunately encountered the group of savages in Mongolia who had just evolved successfully but had not yet lost their animal nature!

Assuming that there is no Mongolia, assuming that Zhao Gou is inclined to the Southern Song Dynasty and exports a large amount of trade to Southeast Asia and Japan and South Korea, will he become an emerging commercialist country and completely get rid of the traditional agricultural power?

Once private businessmen have a lot of wealth, will they further adopt certain methods to gain power that affects the country?

In short, when Chinese civilization arrived in the Song Dynasty, there was actually a new opportunity for civilization to rebirth.

The tax revenue of last year before Zhao Huan was 80 million yuan, which was eight times that of the Ming Dynasty!

Even though the territory of the Braided Kingdom was so vast and its population soared to hundreds of millions, the Song Dynasty was twice as high as that of the Braided Kingdom after tax!

What made Zhao Huan even more excited was that the amount of tax paid by commercial enterprises accounted for 70%! Agriculture accounts for only 30%!

What is this concept? The country's economic source mainly depends on commerce, and this is the eve of capitalism!

At this time, do we just need to burn another flame of the Renaissance, reignite the cultural concept of the Chinese school of thought and the profound and grand in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then the imperial court will take the lead in leading the development of new industries, which will release great vitality in the country?

Thinking of these questions, the Imperial Veteran had arrived at the Military Equipment Supervision. Under the leadership of the Military Equipment Supervision, Zhao Huan visited the arsenal of the Song Dynasty for the first time.

Zhao Huan named him to visit the thermal weapon, the so-called gunpowder weapon.

The development of thermal weapons in this era is still in a relatively primitive state. For example, rockets are igniting the heads of bows and arrows and then shooting them out. However, there are also epoch-making things, such as the most famous one is the Thunder. This thing is very similar to the grenades in later generations, which surprised Zhao Huan. It turned out that the keyboard warriors at that time were not all fooling people.
