Prince Consort

Inside the high wall, it seems to have become another world.The most conspicuous thing is the wind-powered bell tower not far from the gate. It does not require manpower or animal power, and only needs to rely on the mountain wind blowing from all sides to drive the bell tower to run.

It happened to be on the hour, and a delicate bird flew out from the top of the bell tower and chirped a few times, followed by the bells of Dang, Dang, Dang, and everyone was stunned.

Zhao Ying could tell at a glance that this was similar to the waterborne armillary sphere, and it must be Shen Cunzhong's masterpiece.

Xie Xiaomei was the happiest, she generously pulled Zhao Ang forward: "Let's go over and have a look!"

Seeing that Mr. Zhao Ying and Mr. Xie were there, Mrs. Li wanted to stop them, but Zhao Ying stopped them: "It's rare for them to come out to play once, so let them go. Sanlang and Chongzhao were more capable of causing trouble than they were when they were young. They even dared to participate in politics." Take firecrackers and blow them up."

Xie Ze'an shyly said, "Don't bring up the past!"

Zhao Chongzhao had plausible words: "He said to find a princess to go to Beidi to get married. If he doesn't bomb him, who will be bombed? Whoever wants to mention this kind of thing again in the future, I will bomb them!"

Xie Zean raised his hands in favor.

Not to mention that the imperial court is not considered weak now, even if the imperial court is weak, it should not rely on selling out the daughter's family in exchange for short-term stability - that will only make the other party more arrogant.

It is because of Zhao Chongzhao's vigor that Zhao Ying has changed her view of Zhao Chongzhao in recent years.

The nautical chart drawn by Xie Ze'an made him realize that there are other powerful enemies in the world. This world is not something you can achieve if you want to. Even if you close the country, ambitious people will still flock to you.At that time, the people of Daqing will be raised from a comfortable life, but the enemy they will face will be an army of bandits who have been licking their blood all year round. What will happen then?

Zhao Ying is still confident to deal with the enemy on the grassland, but Zhao Ying has no way to deal with the threat from the sea, so he can only call people to train the navy in the coastal area.

Soldiers, the great event of the country.

Since the Taizu, the government has emphasized civility over martial arts. Although Zhao Ying relied on military merits in his early years, he was powerless to shake the ancestral methods that have been passed down for more than a hundred years.In the past two years, Zhao Ying re-read Yao Dingyan's "Wanyan Book". One of the sentences "the change of the sky is not enough to be feared, the words of people are not enough to be sympathetic, and the law of the ancestors is not enough to abide by" made Zhao Ying the deepest impression.

Yao Dingyan has long seen clearly what he might encounter when he implements the new law. Once the new law is implemented, he will definitely be attacked if he encounters any disaster or complains from the people, saying that "the new law provokes the anger of heaven and people." However, Yao Dingyan still feels that "the law of the ancestors Not enough to keep".The law of the ancestors was set according to the situation of the year, and the world is changing with each passing day, and the world is constantly changing. How could the ancestors predict the current situation?Zhao Ying felt that if after she left, her children and grandchildren would revise the new law that she set in accordance with the circumstances, and she would not be angry.

Although Yao Dingyan has shortcomings, the reform needs such people to complete it in one go.

Zhao Ying chose the talent cultivation system that has the least immediate impact but the greatest long-term impact for Yao Dingyan to try first.

If Yao Dingyan can really do it, it won't be too late to try others.

Zhao Ying said to Xie Ze'an, "Lead me for a walk."

Xie Ze'an nodded, and led Zhao Ying forward through the clock tower. In front of him was a huge school field, suitable for daily practice and gatherings. Under the clock tower was a one-meter-large sphere suspended high, as tall as a person. .Xie Ze'an saw Zhao Ying's gaze on it, and explained with a smile: "This is a globe, which is relatively large and can be rotated." He stepped forward and moved it slightly, and found out where they were, "We are here."

Zhao Chongzhao has also seen the map drawn by Xie Zean. Although he doesn't understand why Xie Zean is so sure about the distribution of the world's territory, he still believes in Xie Zean unconditionally.Seeing the "world" turning in Xie Zean's hands, the anxiety in Zhao Chongzhao's heart suddenly became more pronounced. He is different from Yan Ning. With Xie Zean's protection, Yan Ning can happily start to practice embroidery and manage the inner house affairs for Xie Zean .He is a prince, he is the future king of a country, he must become more powerful, at least not too far from Xie Zean, otherwise he will lose face as a king, how can he let Xie Zean work hand in hand with him for the rest of his life.

Zhao Chongzhao said: "There are so many places outside of Daqing? We only occupy such a small area?"

Xie Zhe'an said, "Yes." He unceremoniously drew a smaller circle on the globe, "In fact, it is this smaller piece."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Then can we make other places ours?"

Xie Ze'an said: "It's not easy. We didn't even take care of the southern part, because it is too far away from the capital. The northern part is also the same. There are many places in the grassland that are not guarded at all. Why don't we take it down?"

Zhao Chongzhao pondered for a moment, and said, "It's bitterly cold in Saibei, and no one wants to settle there. Moreover, the land there is barren, and many places are deserts, which are not suitable for planting food at all. In winter, it's so cold that it's impossible to even hunt for a living. , can only be robbed across the border."

Xie Ze'an said: "Your Highness is right." He raised his hand and turned the globe, "Like here, the navigation industry has been flourishing, I guess they arrived at this place. There are gold mines, spices, and cheap labor in this place. The voyagers who got the sweet spot went out to sea again and again without fear of wind and waves, and the scenery after their return aroused the ambitions of more people, so their footprints went farther and farther on the sea..." He turned the globe back and fixed it In situ, "One day they will come here and discover this rich and peaceful eastern country."

Zhao Chongzhao said happily: "That's good, I want to meet these people too."

Xie Ze'an said, "But they are robbers."

Xie Ze'an remembered that when the old man told him these things, he also felt that sailing to seize treasures, occupying land, and conquering the local people was very enjoyable. The location has become a place that has been seized, occupied, and conquered. Many places that were once prosperous and prosperous were eventually turned into scorched earth due to war.

The feeling of being cold all over the body is not pleasant.

At that time, he faintly felt what kind of past the old man's heart had experienced to become so stubborn and cold.

Xie Ze looked at Zhao Chongzhao quietly.

Zhao Chongzhao was also stunned after hearing Xie Zean's words.

Seizing treasure, occupying land, conquering, which man doesn't like it.But if such a group of people came from a long voyage from the sea, Daqing would undoubtedly be a delicious piece of fat, and it was very likely to attract their coveted.

Looking at the unfamiliar land, Zhao Chongzhao sneered and said, "Whoever he is, robbers or not, come and fight one by one, one pair and one pair!"

Xie Ze'an boasted: "Your Highness is wise."

Xie Ze'an thought that Zhao Ying was still nearby, so he didn't stop any longer and led them inside.

Behind the school yard is a group of buildings made of reinforced concrete. Xie Zean originally wanted to build a group of simple "teaching buildings" with even corners, but this kind of tasteless design was disgusted by Shen Cunzhong. The design drawing has been revised and modified, the internal structure has not changed, and the appearance has become much more beautiful. The buildings are scattered and the cornices are high, which looks majestic and majestic. Even knowledgeable people like Zhao Ying and Xie Wangbo don't think their existence is so abrupt .

Zhao Ying asked: "You designed this place yourself?"

Xie Ze'an said, "How is that possible." He confessed to Shen Cunzhong.

Zhao Ying said: "Shen Qing is a Qucai in the Sitianjian."

Xie Ze'an sold Shen Cunzhong without hesitation: "Mr. Shen thinks it's pretty good, with less work and more salary, life is more comfortable!"

Zhao Ying frowned when she heard this, and slapped Xie Zean on the head: "Is there anyone who arranges people like you?"

Xie Ze'an retorted: "To be honest, why is he a choreographer!"

Zhao Ying said: "Don't think that everyone is like you, just thinking about how to hide."

Xie Zean said aggrievedly: "You are the arranger..."

Zhao Ying said: "I still arrange you? You should do something serious for me to see."

Xie Zean fell silent.

Seeing that Xie Ze'an was slumped by Zhao Ying's words, with his tail tucked up to behave like a well-behaved man, Zhao Chongzhao was happy.He stood up for Xie Ze'an: "Sanlang has done a lot of serious things! Both herbal medicine and Qianjin Fang have been repaired, and the Tai Hospital has already printed and distributed them to most medical centers. When the seasons change, they will send people to townships and counties to preach How to prevent the epidemic, there have been no febrile diseases in the past few years. In a year or two, each state and county can choose one of the original medical centers to become a government medical center. The clinic is full of energy, and the people who go to see the doctor feel as warm as the spring breeze!" Zhao Chongzhao obviously learned the last sentence from Xie Ze'an.

Xie Ze'an said: "That is the wise decision of His Majesty and His Highness, I am just offering an idea."

How could Zhao Ying not know that Xie Ze'an was capable?If Xie Ze'an was a mediocre person, he wouldn't bother about Xie Ze'an.

Xie Ze'an's ideas are always so novel, but there is not much resistance at all when they are actually implemented. Yao Dingyan's words about changing the sky and people have never appeared.Zhao Ying carefully thought about the reasons, and soon discovered that Xie Ze'an was good at making the best use of the situation, and he paid attention to "win-win", rather than squeezing some benefits from some people and distributing them to others.

Of course, the more important thing is that the status of doctors is already low, and a little bit of elevation is enough to cheer them up.And there is no aristocratic family involved in it, no one will be dissatisfied no matter how much they toss, that's why Xie Ze'an made it silently.

Even so, it's still hard to imagine that this method of turning spring wind into rain was used by a half-grown boy.

But when she thought that Xie Zean's "little idea" had caused the entire Xixia court to fall apart in just a few years, Zhao Ying became calm again.

What's impossible with a guy who's always out of his element?

After Uncle Guo reminded him, Zhao Ying has been carefully assessing Xie Zean.

Gradually, he found that his initial intuition was not wrong.

Xie Ze'an gave Zhao Ying the feeling that Zhao Ying had felt in the former son-in-law.

With such a person, it is a waste of time to put suspicion and precautions on him. You think power is more important than everything, and he thinks power is nothing; The pursuit of a comfortable life.Zhao Ying doesn't know if Xie Ze'an will change in the future, at least the former son-in-law has never changed from the beginning to the end.Even if Xie Ze'an really develops ambitions in the future, his eyes will never be on this small corner of Daqing—even in guiding Zhao Chongzhao, Xie Ze'an made Zhao Chongzhao look at the world.

If such a person can really grow up, Zhao Chongzhao will be more than just like a tiger with wings added?

Thoughts were repeated, and the decision in Zhao Ying's heart became clearer.
