Zhao Kuo was shocked: "I, Song, am so small!?"

Yes, I am more concerned, so I will add more tonight.
Chapter 183 The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets
Throughout the history of China, whether it is in terms of national strength, culture, economy, technology, etc., it has been leading the world for almost two to three thousand years, but why has it fallen behind since the last feudal dynasty?
The starting point here is the great geographical discovery.
Since Columbus made several trips to the American continent, allowing Europeans to re-understand the shape and geography of the world, Europeans began to lead China in their understanding of the world.
At that time, China was still in the Ming Dynasty. A Ming Dynasty man named Wu Chengen wrote a novel about gods and demons called "Journey to the West". do not understand.
In the next era, the first industrial revolution occurred in Europe.
Since the development of industry, Europe, which has been dark for thousands of years, has become cowhide.
In the military, they build guns, cannons, ships, and airplanes. In terms of people's livelihood, they are textile machines, cars, and trains, and their work efficiency is increased by dozens or hundreds of times. When the bowl is full, you will be rich all of a sudden.
On the other hand, China was still an agricultural country at that time, and being able to eat and clothe warm was the biggest pursuit of the Chinese people, and the British came and wanted to start commercial and industrial exchanges with China. As a result, the Qing Dynasty stupidly refused to communicate and industrialize , and even came to a secluded country, and closed the door to play by himself.
At the same time, Japan began to grow stronger because of the Meiji Restoration and learning from European industrialization.
What happened after that?Presumably all Chinese who have studied history know that industrial Europe and industrial Japan invaded agricultural China, directly creating a 100-year national humiliation.
Fortunately, in that period of saving the nation, a large number of people with lofty ideals emerged in China, and there was also the first party that sincerely spoke for the grassroots.Thanks to their efforts, China finally survived.
As a top student in liberal arts, Ling Chi gritted his teeth with hatred every time he recalled this history.
But history is history and you can never change it.Because once history changes, it will cause a series of unpredictable consequences, which is the so-called butterfly effect.It is precisely because of this concept and the fact that there is no need for it that Ling Chi never thought of changing history when he traveled through Xiaoao and Yitian.
Until the World of Condors, seeing that the Southern Song Dynasty has only a few decades of national fortune left, Ling Chi had the idea of "what will happen if history changes", and tried to change history. Unexpectedly, this change changed to the ideal appearance.
In the Condor World, although he has been playing soy sauce for the last ten years, because he handed over the world map and the new China's reform and opening up policy to Zhao Yun, Da Song has already made great strides in the direction he likes.
After that, because Zhao Yun was getting older, he was afraid that he would not see the situation where the Song Dynasty ruled the world, so he asked Sunflower Patriarch to go to Zhongnan Mountain to meet him.
After much consideration at that time, Ling Chi gritted his teeth and went to live in the Lin'an Palace for three months. He conducted a devil training for Zhao Yun, allowing him to learn the recipe of longevity fish.
In this way, as long as Zhao Yun does not kill himself, or encounters natural and man-made disasters, he should be able to rule the world in his lifetime.
At least before he left the Condor World, Zhao Yun did well. At that time, the economy of the entire Song Dynasty was developing rapidly, and the industry had reached a certain scale. The infrastructure construction of the Song Dynasty was faster and more efficient than any previous dynasty. outstanding.The living standards of the people have also improved to a higher level.
Although it was not up to the level he expected because of the short time, it was not bad.
At that time, the Song Dynasty finally created a powerful musket. With the power of the musket, the history of cavalry ruling the world came to an end.
However, although the power of the musket is good, it is useless against characters above the white rank.Because the characters above the white rank are all martial arts masters with good internal strength, and their reaction speed is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary people.The bullets fired by those muskets are no different from hidden weapons to them.Although they can still cause damage to them, as long as they are prepared in advance, they can completely avoid them with their body skills.
There is no way to do this. The muskets made in the early days of the industry would be good if they could have the power of a concealed weapon.But masters of concealed weapons need to practice for three to five or seven years to become proficient, but musketeers can kill the enemy as long as they learn how to shoot and aim.The most frightening thing is that muskets can be mass-produced, and musketeers can also be mass-produced. This is much easier than martial arts people who have practiced martial arts for ten years.
Before Ling Chi left, Song Dynasty already had [-] Musketeers. Not only did they beat the Mongols, but even the people in the martial arts inside were overwhelmed.
In the past, those people in the martial arts world came and went, and the government couldn't do anything about it. But since the arrests of the government all over the country are equipped with muskets, everything has changed.
When muskets were used on a large scale, the government arrested more than 4000 people in the martial arts who caused trouble, and more than 2000 were killed.
These more than 2000 died in the early days of the appearance of muskets.At the beginning, those martial arts people didn't know the power of muskets, so violent resistance must be the first choice.
Then they GG.
With more and more people in GG, people in the martial arts are discouraged, and the crime rate has also dropped significantly.
There is no way, even if he is not beaten to death, he will be forced to go to a labor camp for several years after being arrested.
Re-education through labor was not easy. Either they went to the quarry to knock stones, or they went to the construction site to build bridges, pave roads and dig rivers. It was extremely miserable.The only consolation is to be able to eat enough, but it is only enough to eat, and the corn bread and pickles will keep you safe.
People who come out of labor camps have a very low chance of recidivism. According to official statistics, counting from the first labor camp to finish, in a total of three years, there are more than 5000 labor camps, and there are only three cases of recidivism.
At that time, seeing the chance of re-offending, Ling Chi was very glad that he kept the "reform through labor" regulations.
That's right, if you commit a crime, you must undergo labor reform, and let those criminals know how "honorable" labor reform is, so that when they try to commit crimes again, they will think of the "happy time" in the labor reform camp. The idea of crime is also swept away.
well!Such a good way, modern but...
……
Because he saw the changes in Da Song in the Condor World, this time he met Zhao Kuo who was better than Zhao Yun in the Condor World, he had the idea of helping Da Song again, and put it into action tonight.
"Your Majesty, as long as we gather skilled craftsmen from all over the world, manage them in a unified way, work together, and develop the manufacturing industry with all our strength, until we create powerful strategic weapons such as guns, artillery, warships, and even airplanes, the whole world will not be able to stop the expansion of our Great Song Dynasty. At that time, as long as the sun shines, it is the territory of our Song Dynasty!"
Hearing the seduction of Lingchi's magic voice, Zhao Kuo was short of breath and his eyes were red.

The blacksmiths who entered the top [-] could be hired by the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty and become the exclusive blacksmiths of the royal family. The monthly salary was generous, and they could also be allocated a house, making their ancestors honorable.

All competitions will last for a total of fifteen days, and all of them are public in nature. As long as all the people have free time, they can go to the four sub-arenas in Lin'an to watch the blacksmiths clanging iron.
The small vendors were very smart and saw the rare business opportunities. There were many vendors setting up stalls around the competition site, selling snacks, tea, fruits, vegetables, etc., and really made a small fortune.
From the first day of the competition, Ling Chi was dragged into the crowd by Huang Rong, buying something he liked whenever he saw it, and standing beside curious things made by some blacksmiths, he was very happy .
"Uncle Ling, let's sell food too!" Huang Rong bought a piece of puff pastry, but frowned after eating it: "The snacks here are too unpalatable."
"That can't be done." Ling Chi stuffed the leftover puff pastry she didn't want to eat into her mouth, and said, "People's life is not easy, and it's rare to have such an opportunity to make money, so don't compete with them for profit."
