Chapter 86 The next task

Kaihai can be said to be one of the fastest means of accumulating primitive capital in the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Huan had high hopes for Kaihai.

The ceramics, silks, handicrafts, etc. of the Song Dynasty can be sold overseas, and the royal fleet is transported by themselves. In that era, China was far ahead of the world. The countries in Greater China were as if they were treasured for the Song Dynasty.

Especially the aristocratic classes in various countries were almost obsessed with the handicrafts of the Song Dynasty, just as the rich people in later generations were obsessed with the luxury goods of Europe.

Not only that, Zhao Huan also thought about transporting things from the Song Dynasty to India, Thailand, even Arabia, Africa and other places.

At the same time, he also wanted to educate the saints overseas.

He has only one purpose, to make China truly powerful, and to the next ten thousand years, the rules of this planet are formulated by China, whether it is military, economic, or cultural rules!

Even people all over the world in later generations felt that Chinese talents are the most noble in the world!

Ancient China had a very bad habit, which was that it liked to hide the so-called saints like treasures to distinguish themselves from the surrounding foreign races, but it was like a piece of cake that could truly promote development in the field of science and technology.

The European Renaissance in later generations was the opposite. They protected everything in the field of science and technology and exported culture so strongly that there were charlatans wherever the cannons in the gay country were hit.

This is something that Zhao Huan despises. Whoever does not cooperate with him in cultural output in the future will do whatever he wants!

There is nothing to discuss about the opening of the sea, because the Song Dynasty has had maritime trade with surrounding countries since the Taizu era, especially Japan, which is a country that is a treasure of everything in the Song Dynasty.

How much did Japan worship the Song Dynasty? There are many Su fans in Japan who memorize Su Dongpo's poems, and many women from wealthy families dream of coming to the Song Dynasty to find Su Dongpo and marry him.

This is just a worship of Su Dongpo, and his yearning for the Song Dynasty was also surprisingly impressive.

Many Japanese women come to the Song Dynasty to sleep with men from the Song Dynasty until they get pregnant and return to China after they get pregnant. That is, people with higher status and higher status, not just because they are just because the blood of men from the Song Dynasty flows in their children, and their bloodlines are even more noble.

A few days ago, the Imperial City Guard reported to Zhao Huan that Liu Yanzong had been involved with several Japanese women, and it was very tangled. The old cow's strength was no less than that of a young man.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty had innate advantages in external maritime trade.

Zhao Huan had thought about the future naval ministers and asked Zhao Gou to do it. Zhao Gou was definitely a very smart person. Although he had never done anything good when he was the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, he had done the right thing and did a very good job.

Even if Zhao Gou was willing to find a fiefdom overseas, Zhao Huan would definitely support it. After all, there was no prince who could compete with Zhao Gou in the Song Dynasty.

After discussing Kaihai, Zhao Huan believed that the most important part began, which was the establishment of the Royal Academy of Sciences.

The prime ministers seemed not keen on this area. They believed that the emperor set up scientists to equip the army with excellent equipment and had no other purpose. Military weapons supervisors have been doing this.

But Zhao Huan doesn't think so. Which of the several industrial revolutions in later generations was not accompanied by the rise of one or two powerful countries that influenced the world? Why did they rise again? They are all because of mastering science and technology!

A great man in later generations once said: Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

Only science and technology can make human life better, and make breakthroughs again and again after the development of human economy reaches a bottleneck, usher in a new era.

If China wants to master the right to speak for the next ten thousand years, it must develop the country through science and education and implant science into the cells of every citizen.

How can we carry forward science and education to revive the country?

Europe escaped from the darkness of the medieval times because of the Ottoman destruction of Byzantines. A large number of Byzantine scholars, scientists, doctors and other social elites fled to Western Europe, conveyed the thoughts and science of the ancient Greek era back to Europe, liberated human nature's obsession with God, and thus fully realized that human beings are the most powerful in the world and have the most direct and objective understanding of human nature, so that they can pursue science wholeheartedly.

So, you must have reform education!

Zhao Huan did not discuss this with the prime ministers too much, and he planned to personally supervise the establishment of the Royal Academy of Sciences.

This discussion finally determined the main goals of the Song Dynasty this year and next year. With the goals, everyone will be motivated to do things.

First of all, Zhao Huan set a goal for the East Government Government Affairs Hall. By December of the second year of Jingkang, the domestic fiscal revenue of the Song Dynasty must reach 15,000 jin. This is a number without any room for negotiation. If this number is not reached, the prime minister will be demoted to a commoner, confiscated all his property, and will never be admitted to the officialdom!

Secondly, Zhao Huan set a goal for the Western Prefecture. Before March next year, the emperor must complete the military restructuring task assigned by the emperor. If it cannot be completed, the entire Privy Council will be dismissed from class and demoted to common people. All the property will be confiscated and will never be admitted to the officialdom!

This is very cruel to these big guys who have finally reached the position of prime minister. Now everyone can only take on this task with biting the bullet.

Especially the husbands of the East Mansion, they all felt bad. The emperor has forcibly abolished the corvee service now, which means that he will not be able to find the people to work for free in the future. He will have to spend money, but the emperor has to almost double the taxes. This is a fucking rhythm that will kill people!

In Wang Boyan's words, the emperor wanted to force them to adjust the tax commission according to the emperor's wishes. I don't know if the merchants would rebel. The most annoying thing is that the emperor ordered the ban on officials from doing business in private. If this is promulgated, I don't know how many officials would protest in their hearts. If they protest in their hearts, they would inevitably make up for the losses of business.

In this way, we have to advocate the act of corruption. The emperor just used the heads of more than a thousand people to declare the consequences of corruption all over the world. This is really a way to force people to death.

Of course, Zhao Huan knew that the ministers of the two prefectures were under great pressure. He wanted to release all the pressure to the prime minister, otherwise he would be suppressed by him, and he would be very likely to hang himself in the southeast branch like Chongzhen.

Just two days later, the prime ministers of the two governments handed over the detailed plans for this year and next year. To what extent is the details? All the taxes, commission ratios of the Song Dynasty, all the industries that the court will operate next, the estimated income this year and next year, and what goals to achieve each month are clearly written.

This was a copy that the entire East Mansion had made inconvenient days and two nights. Zhao Huan was quite satisfied after seeing it, especially with the design of the Royal Bank. The East Mansion believed that the people must have no idea that they would not only save money at the Royal Bank, but also have income.

The best solution is to let all the rich people in Tokyo first save part of the money and set a benchmark.
