As soon as they got off the car, the girls who were waiting for Longdan Li and Yuewu were already covering their mouths and crying.

Le Wu said: "Your Majesty, why does Sister Xiushu have to go back to Xixia?"

Zhao Dongting replied with a smile: "Because she is the empress of Xixia, there are thousands of her subjects there. Don't worry, when Xiao grows up in the future, I will pick her up again."

He lifted the curtain of the car and watched the imperial army gradually move farther and farther away on the official road covered with fallen leaves.

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

Just when Li Xiushu returned to the court, he removed the Xixia General Administration. Xixia and only established an embassy.

He had no intention of interfering in Xixia's internal affairs anymore because he believed in Li Xiushu's ability, and he did not want to cause any grudges in Li Xiushu's heart.

As for the embassy, ​​it is obvious that there is no need for capable officials like the Xixia General Manager. Most people in the Xixia General Manager Office can withdraw.

Although the imperial examination reform in the Song Dynasty has been in reform for many years, there is still some lack of talent. Zhao Dongting has to try his best to make full use of his talents.

I just don’t know whether the new imperial examination reforms of the previous year allowed everyone to hold imperial examinations on their own, which would help the Song Dynasty select more talents.

More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

At this time, the Song Dynasty court gradually became busy again, because the end of the year was coming.

Taxes, livelihood statistics, etc. from all over the country were sent to Changsha, which all needed to be seen by the ministers of the central cabinet. Emperor Zhao Dongting, the emperor, could not escape.

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

With the strong support of the imperial court policies, all coastal ties are developing the fastest.

In comparison, development is much slower than that of Chengdu Fu Road, Dali Road, and especially Tubo, which are relatively remote and high and far-reaching.

Due to the limitations of technology in 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 could not even satisfy the most basic food and clothing.

This is impossible. After all, even in his previous life, there are still many poor mountainous areas.

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

The information in this era is too blocked.

After reading the reports from various places, Zhao Dongting was already thinking about whether to gradually shift the focus of development to the inland.

Now that the Song Dynasty is so powerful that the whole world is over, he has to build all the coastal routes into the pearls of the whole world. Instead of doing this, it is better to make steady progress and let the Song Dynasty develop in an all-round way.

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

It is said that eating the mountains and drinking water according to the water. In this era, the guarantee of life for most people was the crops planted in the ground.

Some places are really not suitable for farming, or have poor land or many disasters.

Land is the original productivity. When the original productivity is insufficient, how should we compare it with those fertile places?

travel?

Doing business?

Develop a certain 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 that in later generations.

It is simply impossible to support a state or even a road through a pillar industry.

It was only after this that Zhao Dongting deeply realized that he wanted everyone in the Song Dynasty to make food and clothing, but it was not possible to rely solely on policies.

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

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

And now the Song Dynasty lacks not only roads, but also new types of transportation.

The key to the problem seems to be back to the use of steam engines.

In the imperial study room.

Zhao Dongting sat under the window, staring at the memorial, actually being in a daze, and his eyes were not focused.

He used to just hand over the use 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 steam engines is urgent.

The Song Dynasty had already stood up and became stronger, and no longer needed to put too much effort into firearms. What we need to do now is to become rich. To become rich, we must use the steam engines as much as possible.

"Print an order!"

Zhao Dongting suddenly spoke out.

Zhang Polu, who was still serving in the imperial study, quickly agreed and spread the imperial edict and pen on the table.

Zhao Dongting thought for a while and said, "All the staff of the Institute of Physics, from all governments, academic institutions and above, and the Institute of Physics, came to Beijing and waited for the office of the Ministry of Science and Technology. This entry into Beijing may take a long time to ask them to explain their wives and children and be prepared. After things are done, I will protect their celebrities and historians."

In fact, there are probably no one in the Song Dynasty who has a very good study of physics. After all, Zhao Dongting himself is not very good at physics.

But he had no choice.

Three cobblers, overwhelmed Zhuge Liang. Perhaps gathering these people together would create some sparks.
