The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2246 Concentrate
As soon as they got out of the car, Yue Wu and the girls in the dragon carriage covered their mouths and began to cry.

Yue Wu said: "Your Majesty, why does Sister Xiushu insist on returning to Xixia?"

Zhao Dongting smiled and replied: "Because she is the empress of Xixia, and there are thousands of her subjects there. Don't worry, I will take her back when Xiao Xiao grows up."

He lifted the curtain of the car and watched the Imperial Army team gradually drifting away on the official road covered with fallen leaves.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Dongting issued an order to the new Chief Xixia.

As long as Li Xiushu returns to the court, the Xixia General Manager's Mansion will be removed.Xixia, only set up an embassy.

He has no intention of meddling in Xixia's internal affairs anymore, because he believes in Li Xiushu's ability, and he doesn't want to cause Li Xiushu to feel bad.

As for the embassy, ​​it is obvious that there is no need for a capable official like the Xixia governor to sit in charge.Most people in the Xixia General Administration can withdraw.

Although the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty have been reformed for many years, there are still some shortages in terms of talents.Zhao Dongting had to try his best to make the best use of his talents.

I just don’t know whether the new imperial examination reforms of the year before last allowed all walks of life to hold their own imperial examinations, whether this could help the Song Dynasty to select more talents.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

At this time, the Song court gradually began to get busy again.Because the New Year is coming soon.

Taxes, people's livelihood statistics, etc. from all over the country are sent to Changsha, all of which need to be reviewed by the ministers of the central cabinet.Even the emperor Zhao Dongting couldn't escape.

Although the economy of Song Dynasty has developed rapidly in recent years, due to the different geographical locations, there are still great differences in the development of various states in these years.

Because of the strong support of the imperial government's policy, the roads along the coast are developing the fastest.

In comparison, the development of places such as Chengdufu Road and Dali Road, especially Tubo, which is relatively remote and has high mountains and long roads, is much slower.

Limited by the technology of this era, there are still too few ways to develop the economy.

Zhao Dongting knew that in many places in the Song Dynasty, there were still people who couldn't even meet the most basic food and clothing.

There is no way to do this, after all, even in his previous life, there were still many impoverished mountainous areas.

No matter how he develops the economy of Song Dynasty, it is impossible for everyone in Song Dynasty to have enough food and clothing.Even in the Song Dynasty, it is estimated that many people do not know that the Song Dynasty has been unified.

Information in this day and age is too limited.

After Zhao Dongting read the reports from various places, he was already considering whether to shift the focus of development to the inland gradually.

In today's situation where the Great Song Dynasty dominates the world, he doesn't have to make all the coastal roads into the pearls of the world.Instead of this, it is better to play steadily and let the Song Dynasty develop in an all-round way.

But even he, under the existing technological conditions, does not know how to develop the economy of certain places.

It is said that you eat mountains by the mountains, and you eat water by the water.In this day and age, the guarantee for most people's survival is the crops grown in the ground.

And some places are really not suitable for farming, or the land is barren, or there are many disasters.

Land is the original productive force. How can we compare it with those places with fertile land when the original productive capacity is insufficient?

tourism?

Doing business?

To develop some kind of pillar industry?

This is not impossible, but, with the power of chariots and horses, the circulation of goods in this era is destined to be much worse than in later generations.

It is simply impossible to support the people's livelihood economy of a state or even a road through a certain pillar industry.

It was only now that Zhao Dongting deeply realized that if he wanted to feed and clothe everyone in the Song Dynasty, he could not rely on policies alone.

He needs to develop technology and needs a qualitative take-off of technology.Only in this way can more people in Song Dynasty live a life of food and clothing.

To get rich, build roads first.This statement is absolutely true no matter what era it is placed in.

But the current Song Dynasty lacks not only roads, but also new types of transportation.

The crux of the problem seems to come back to the application of the steam engine.

Inside the imperial study.

Zhao Dongting sat under the window, staring at the memorial, in fact he was lost in thought, his eyes were not focused.

Before, he just handed over the application of the steam engine to Li Goudan's Science and Technology Department for research, but now, he has another decision in his mind.

The use of the steam engine is urgent.

Da Song has stood up and become stronger, so he doesn't need to work too hard on firearms, what he has to do now is to get rich.To be rich is to put the steam engine to good use.

"Purpose!"

Zhao Dongting said suddenly.

Zhang Polu, who was still waiting in the imperial study room, quickly agreed, and spread the imperial decree and pen and ink on the table.

Zhao Dongting thought for a while, and said: "All the research institutes of various government offices, universities above the second grade, and the research institutes of the physics department have all entered Beijing and are waiting for orders from the Ministry of Science and Technology. This trip to Beijing may take a long time for them. Let them account for their wives and children, and be prepared. After the matter is completed, I will protect their celebrities and history."

In fact, there probably aren't any very powerful people who study physics in Song Dynasty now. After all, Zhao Dongting himself is not very good at physics.

But there was nothing he could do.

Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.Maybe bringing these people together will spark some sparks.
