After a little more than a quarter of an hour passed, the main hall began to resume the normal rhythm flow.

The emperor and empress Cao had already sat back on the dragon chairs at this time, with stylized smiles on their faces absent-mindedly, looking at all the rare treasures brought to them by the masters below.

It's just that although these birthday gifts are rare and expensive, the minds of the emperor and empress are obviously not on these things at the moment.

From time to time, the two would take a few glances at the globe placed on the dragon table in front of them.

In fact, most of the veteran officials in the hall, the royal family, relatives, and even the masters of the rivers and lakes are also like this.

Most of the attention on the body has been attracted by the world map hanging behind the emperor and empress, and they will exchange a few words about it from time to time.

Only Liang Yue, who was the instigator, and the girls who were watching the live broadcast through the villagers' platform, would be surprised and amazed by the treasures that were continuously being sent to the hall.

And after looking at the birthday gifts sent by the masters of various sects, the one that Liang Yue took the most attention to was not some rare treasures, magic weapons for body protection, but a bow and crossbow in the style of mechanical pulleys!

It is very similar to the optimization schemes of ancient cold weapons manufactured in accordance with the principles of physics, structure, and mechanics in modern society.

It can be said that, except for the manufacturing materials, this bow and crossbow is a bit different from modern crafts, and it is not inferior in other aspects!

From the outside, this bow and crossbow is streamlined, like a swift flying with wings spread.

The crossbow is 1.2 meters long and has an effective range of 400 meters, but the string tension is greatly reduced due to the pulley block.

If equipment like this can be equipped into the army by the Song Dynasty for large-scale coverage launch, it will definitely be a heavy-duty weapon on the battlefield!

This thing is from the handwriting of a Mohist master~

As the recipient, Song Renzong was obviously not a military idiot. After seeing this crossbow, he couldn't wait to bring a guest from the hall to the outside of the palace gate on the spot.

After being handled by the two guards for a while, he personally started shooting three arrows at a distant target.

In the end, Renzong even became addicted to pulley strings.

Zhao Zhen, who had begun to enter the later years of his life, managed to pull the crossbow in his hand by virtue of his thin body and his arms, which he barely exercised.

After personally appraising the weight of this congratulatory gift, Song Renzong was naturally very satisfied, and almost immediately dispatched craftsmen from the court to set up a separate department to study the mass production of this piece of equipment.

As for the important officials in the court, they didn't have any objection to this, and they cooperated as much as possible as soon as they received the decree.

Not far away, Liang Yue saw all of this, and immediately felt that this generation of emperor and courtiers were really good.

From the looks of it, the disgrace of the Tanyuan Alliance and the tuition fees of the annual coins are really not in vain.

At least on the bright side, no one is making trouble~

……

About two hours later, Renzong's birthday banquet finally came to an end.

The guests in the main hall also began to leave one by one, but Liang Yue was taken aside by the eunuch next to Renzong alone, and then entered a side hall similar to the royal study.

At this moment, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen, several important ministers in the hall, Han Qi, Bao Zheng, Fu Bi and others are already waiting here.

The world map that was hung in the hall before, and the globe were also moved here.

Obviously, summoning Liang Yue alone at this time must be to discuss important matters.

"Daoist Master Lao Qingyuanzi came here alone. The gift from the Taoist priest this time is so shocking that I am still a little bit flustered and restless at the moment, hehehe~"

Song Renzong seemed very polite at this time, and personally walked a few steps to welcome him in.

After meeting with everyone present, Liang Yue also sat down peacefully.

"There are too many people in the hall today, and some things are really not suitable for sharing. Whatever your Majesty wants, just ask."

"What the Taoist priest said before, the matter of emigrating overseas touched us a lot, but what we are most concerned about now is the place where the horses were raised that the Taoist priest mentioned at the beginning.

Dare to ask, in the surrounding areas of my Great Song Dynasty, besides the northern aliens, is there any place suitable for raising horses? "

After being seated, Mr. Bao Zheng was the first to speak. After experiencing a life-and-death catastrophe, this black-faced elder also seemed very open-minded at this time. When it came to business, he almost immediately entered the working state.

"As far as the distance is concerned, the most suitable place for me, Song Dynasty, to raise horses is on the Wa country."

After saying that, Liang Yue got up, pointed at the world map on the desk, and pointed her fingertip on the northernmost one among the four islands of Wa Kingdom.

"This place is called Ezo Island. Although it is close to the Wa Kingdom, it is regarded as a barbarian land by them. It has not been under the jurisdiction for a long time. The climate is cold and there are natives living on the island.

However, the terrain is relatively flat and suitable for raising horses. With the power of our dynasty's seaborne ships, if we can move in a group of high-quality horse breeds and sow enough horse grass, within five years, we can improve the shortage of our Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. The matter of horses. "

This Ezo Island, of course, is the island country of Hokkaido.

Although in our impression, we have always regarded this island as the old territory of the island country, but in fact, it was not until the end of the sixteenth century that the political power and ruling institutions of the island country began to put their tentacles and sights on this island. on the island.

Then he occupied the land, built a city, and brought it into his own sphere of influence.

Before that, no one cares about it.

In today's Northern Song Dynasty, world history has just entered the middle of the tenth century, and if it is occupied, it will be occupied. Naturally, there are no territorial disputes and disputes.

"This island in the Wa Kingdom is actually suitable for raising horses? I have never looked there before."

When Song Renzong heard the words, his eyes lit up immediately, and with surprise on his face, he bent down and looked at the small island on the map.

Afterwards, the more he watched, the more satisfied he became, with a salivating look on his face.

"Actually, according to my opinion, the one to the north of this island seems to be pretty good. It is located in the place where the big river flows into the sea, and it is also very close to the land where the Liao Kingdom is located.

If it is possible, the gods don't know if they will take it as their own, and send soldiers to station and train. At the critical moment, they will definitely be able to give the Liao people a hard blow from behind! "

Han Qi, Han Xianggong, who once had the experience of leading a military team and defeating battles, bent over with a face full of wisdom at this time, pointing to a large island in the north of Ezo Island and said.

Looking at that momentum, it's quite a bit of a machination, swallowing the world with arrogance...

"This matter... how does Daoist Priest Qing Yuanzi think?"

When Renzong heard the words, he also thought it made sense, but in the end he turned his attention to Liang Yue.

"This island is called Sakhalin Island. Its south is mountainous and densely covered with forests and seas. The north is dominated by hills and mountains. The terrain is relatively flat. It is rich in minerals and fishery resources.

There are only some uncivilized natives living on the island. If you can send a soldier to station, even if you need to send some supplies and food from the country occasionally, it will not cost much. "

Regarding the thoughts of the monarch and his subjects, Liang Yue finally gave a positive evaluation.

After all, the place of Sakhalin Island is indeed a treasure land. In addition to its strategic location, it also produces oil, coal and gold.

In addition, the terrain on the island is generally undulating, which is not considered flat, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, which limits the combat capabilities of the Liao people.

But if it is only used as a garrison island and a naval base, it can threaten the rear of the Liao regime to a considerable extent.

"That's the decision. The maritime shipyard is ordered to speed up the construction of warships, and all kinds of transport ships must keep up. The Mohists and the public losers are ordered to speed up the development of stronger naval warships!"
