Cai Jing came over with a pile of reports and was shocked when he saw Su You looking like he was mourning for his concubine: "Situ, what big thing happened?"

"Ah? Hahaha, Yuan Chang is here..." Su You quickly gathered his thoughts: "Good thing, great thing! The fuel resources of Xuzhou Iron Mine have been found, come on, come on..."

Ignoring the military memorial in Cai Jing's hand, Su You dragged Cai Jing to the capital hall, picked up the baton and pointed at the big map: "Look at the Bagong Mountain, Shangyao Mountain, and Jiulong Gang near Chuzhou.

Coal mines were discovered."

After speaking, he drew a small circle on the map: "This is a huge coal field!"

Then he drew a big circle on the map: "Shouzhou has coal, Xuzhou has iron, and Yangzhou has money. Each side of this triangle is only five hundred miles away!"

Then on the waterway between Yangzhou and Xuzhou: "This, Chuzhou, is the mouth of the Huaihe River!"

“Through the Huai River, you can reach Shouzhou; through Sishui, you can reach Xuzhou; through the canal, you can reach Yangzhou!”

"A hundred miles north of the sea is Haizhou, the stationing base of the Eastern Fleet!"

Cai Jing has been trained by Su You so far that he can keep up with his thoughts. He was so shocked that the documents in his hand fell to the ground: "Tianzuo Emperor Song! This is the foundation of EMI!"

After saying that, I remembered Su You's appearance just now: "Then why are you crying, Situ?"

"Crying with joy! Crying with joy, do you understand?!" Su You was angry and his ugly appearance was noticed by Cai Jing: "Sitong Exploration Department has been searching for thirty years in the Song Dynasty, just to find such a place..."

Then he shook Cai Jing's shoulders crazily: "Finally found it today! Found it!"

Lu Gongzhu and Wen Yanbo also came to court today. The two old men are basically in a state of semi-retirement. At most, they are in charge. They usually arrive three hours late and leave two hours early. If it weren't for Su You's thoughtful service, the tea leaves would be really good.

It's so good that I don't even want to come.

Seeing Su You's inexplicable excitement, both of them found it funny. Wen Yanbo was the first to reprimand: "Do you still look like a prime minister?! This is the political hall, how do you behave Mingrun!"

Lu Gong twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Mingrun's side is rare. Even if Xixia is defeated, he has never been so happy. What on earth is going on?"

When Su You told Wen and Lu about the discovery of the Huainan coal mine and his idea, they were also shocked.

Lu Gongzhu's reaction was almost the same as Cai Jing's: "Wen Gong and I just went to inspect Songyang. Those machines are really great. When we returned, we discussed with Wen Gong that if we had a place in the Song Dynasty where coal, iron, people, and wealth were concentrated,

Land, that would be great."

"Hahaha... Heaven will not let China down in the end! The virtues of the civilization of the Imperial and Song dynasties moved heaven and earth to grant this blessing!"

Wen Yanbo is impatient: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to the palace to meet the saint!"

"Ah, yes, let's go to the palace to meet the saint." Lu Gongzhu straightened his clothes and looked at Cai Jing who had just picked up the documents beside him: "Yuan Chang is here too."

Cai Jing's heart was pounding at this moment. His official career was clear!

Sure enough, when he met Gao Taotao and Zhao Xu, Wen Yanbo informed her of the importance of Huainan coal mine development.

Then Lu Gongzhu pointed out that this was a major event to build the foundation of the Imperial Song Dynasty, and the affairs were complicated, and there would be countless money and grains handled, so it was necessary to have capable officials in charge.

Cai Jing immediately stepped forward: "I am not talented, but I am willing to take this position."

It took Gao Taotao a long time to recover from the big pie drawn by the governors: "In this way...this, this..."

Lu Gongzhu said: "In this way, with Chuzhou as the hub, connecting Xu and Bian at the top, and connecting Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Xing, Ci, Yan, Xu, and Yunzhou at the bottom, we can expand iron smelting and supply big names."

Gao Taotao said: "Cai Jingfang came to serve as the minister, so it's not easy to leave suddenly..."

Cai Jing hurriedly bowed: "Beijing does not dare to think about power and wealth. It involves the fundamentals of the national economy. If the Empress Dowager is not stupid about Beijing and can take up this position, Beijing will put the country first and be sincere and sincere."

Seeing that Gao Taotao was still hesitating, Su You bowed and said: "This matter is of great importance and cannot be dealt with by mediocre officials. Cai Jing is really good at this."

"The opening of Taihu Port back then was very complicated, but Cai Jing's regulations were clear and clearly listed, and he was very capable."

"Otherwise, Huainan was divided into east and west roads during the Xining period. Now it would be better to merge them into one road, or to transfer envoys to both roads."

"In this way, it will also rival Cai Jing's official position."

Gao Taotao hesitated and said: "Su Song is still the transfer envoy of Huainan East Road..."

Su You hurriedly said: "Brother is nearly seventy years old. He should not work so hard in pioneering work. Even in Yangzhou, he has retired one after another. He sent me a private message and said that he hopes to study astronomy and mathematics intensively at Zhongshan Institute of Technology. Years old."

"Why don't we ask the Empress Dowager to grant her request and promote the post of director of Zhongshan Institute of Technology, and appoint Cai Jing to oversee the two roads to promote a great cause."

Gao Taotao couldn't help but sigh: "In this court of mine, there are sages who are tolerant and respectful, loyal to the country, modest in their rank and salary, and courageous in their achievements. It can be regarded as the most comfortable one in the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years."

Several people hurriedly thanked him, and Su You said: "This is also the cultural and educational contribution of the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years. I and other young officials learned from the saints and knew what they should do and what they should not do."

Gao Taotao pondered for a moment: "Cai Jing, how is the military division going?"

Cai Jing still had several document bags under his arm: "I have already drafted the memorial. I was supposed to go to the capital hall today to report the matter, but it happened to be the right time."

Gao Taotao said: "Since Mr. Lu and Situ have recommended you, I have no objection. Let's discuss it quickly and go to Huainan after finishing the mission."

"Don't worry about your official career. The court will not treat you poorly when you return to Beijing after your success."

Cai Jing hurriedly attended the ceremony: "I must be loyal, responsible and diligent, and will not disappoint the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, and all the gentlemen."

In 1911, the imperial court approved Cai Jing's memorial, which clarified the functions and powers of the Military Aircraft Department, the Privy Council, and the Ministry of War.

With his promotion, Cai Jing became a bachelor of Longtuge and entered the fast lane of his official career.

However, what puzzled the courtiers was that the imperial court agreed to Su Song's request and was appointed as the envoy of the Jixi Festival, and at the same time allowed him to promote Zhongshan Institute of Technology.

Immediately afterwards, Cai Jing was ordered to leave the capital and serve as the transfer envoy for both Huainan roads.

…

Bingyin, the Lord of the Liao Dynasty, stationed in Suiyuan, pardoned the servants of the Holy State, and forbade the diversion of water to invade the fields for personal gain.

The last order showed that the Liao River water conservancy project of the Liao Kingdom had been completed with the help of the Song Dynasty. The Privy Council of the Song Dynasty deputyly accepted the order, and Li Yong, the capital envoy, successfully completed the mission of aiding the Liao Dynasty and prepared to return to the Song Dynasty.

As for the Changchunzhou water conservancy project, the Liao people had completed the exploration and planning with the help of the Song Dynasty, and Li Yong's Liao students took over the remaining parts of the project.

Yelu Hongji ordered his grandson, King Yelu Yanxi of Yan, to send Li Yong to Jinzhou to board a ship and return to the Song Dynasty.

Li Yong refused all the generous gifts from the Lord of Liao. He still wrote the "Song of the Five Sons" in "Shang Shu" on the bank of Linghe River and presented it to Yelu Yanxi.

The monarch of the Xia Dynasty was too prosperous. He was in a high position and ignored political affairs. He loved peace and happiness and lost his monarch's virtue. All the people had second thoughts.

Panhuan went hunting without restraint. He went hunting south of Luoshui and did not return for a hundred days.

The poor Hou Yi moved away from the river because of the intolerance of the people.

Taikang's five younger brothers served their mother and were waiting at Luoshui Bay.

The five sons were resentful and wrote songs to remonstrate with Yu the Great.

In one of the songs, there are eight words: "The people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is the foundation of the country."

Li Yong stayed in the Liao Kingdom for more than two years and saw with his own eyes the successive years of famine and suffering of the people in the Liao Kingdom. He already had a profound understanding of the mediocrity and decadence of the Liao monarchs and ministers. He also deepened his understanding of Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi's insistence on reform.

layer.

The foresight and sagacity of Prime Minister Anshi and the late emperor are truly admirable.

However, they only saw the problem, but the difference was that their methods were crude.

Fortunately, God blessed the Song Dynasty and Situ was surrendered.

In Bingzi, the military was newly established, and all the armies in Hebei were organized and trained. They were summoned to Chao Valley, and Zhang San went to Beijing to report on his duties.

…

The weather in Bianjing in June was a bit hot, and a cavalry army came from outside the west city, and they were strict and mighty.

If you look closely, the team is divided into three groups. They are all in summer uniforms of the new army. There are three generals in the lead. One is a straw yellow color that is common among Bianjing people; one is less common and has a light blue uniform; and one is younger.

, but it is earthy gray.

There are many soldiers in Xicheng, and some experts can tell the truth. This team looks like one, but it is actually three teams, belonging to the Army, Navy and Engineering Corps of the Song Dynasty.
