Under the leadership of Fa Jue, Tianya Water Priest Yang Liazhenjia came to Yin Tianya's residence to accept the latent mission for the new year.
"See Lord God,"
Yin Tianya pointed to the futon on the ground expressionlessly and said, "Well, sit down."
"Thank you, sir,"
Yin Tianya got straight to the point: "Yang Lian Zhenjia, you have three tasks this year."
Yang Lianzhenjia said respectfully: "Yes, please give me your instructions, Lord God."
"According to the instructions of the Great Khan, your first priority is to maintain close contact with Jia Sidao. If you cannot contradict him, then try to let him cultivate his moral character."
After hearing this, Yang Liazhenjia hesitated a little and said: "Sir, judging from the situation in the Southern Dynasty, their little emperor is making great changes, and the results are great. I think, why not encourage Jia Sidao and the little emperor to fight for power, and let the southern court There’s civil unrest,”
"The Great Khan believed that the young emperor of the Southern Dynasties was a young emperor who was eager to take power after he ascended the throne. He sidelined Jia Sidao and even reorganized the imperial army. This is a bit like the Zhao State at that time, which abandoned the veteran general Lian Po and chose Zhao who was an armchair strategist. "Kuo, if Jia Sidao regains power, it will have adverse factors for our dynasty's move south," Yin Tianya also had a flash of hesitation in his eyes, and said helplessly, "Since the Great Khan has decided this, you just carry it out,"
"Yes, sir, I didn't expect the Great Khan to think so highly of Jia Sidao,"
"Perhaps it was the Battle of Ezhou that year. After the war, the Great Khan once lamented that 'I am as safe as a Taoist can use it.' In key institutions, establish and improve the detailed intelligence network. Intelligence collection is your main task as the detail. Except for Nanshan and Shi Yuqi who cannot act rashly for the time being, you will handle the rest by yourself. At the same time, for your convenience, I have specially set up a special mission in Huainan in the Southern Dynasties. A trading house has been established on the East Road. You can use the seal of this trading company to withdraw activity funds. The amount is as you want. The seal is at Fajie. You can just go to him to get it when you leave."
"As ordered, sir," Yang Lianzhenjia said, suppressing the joy in his heart.
The upper-class people in Tianya all know that Yang Lianzhenjia, the water priest, is greedy for money, and Zhebal, the fire priest, is lustful.
"Yang Lian Zhenjia, if you dare to take these funds for yourself, don't blame me for being merciless. Even if the national master Ba Siba comes forward, I won't be able to protect you." Yin Tianya's voice was very cold, which made Yang Lian Zhenjia feel involuntarily. The ground shuddered.
"Lord God, don't worry, my subordinates don't dare."
"Really?" Yin Tianya suddenly laughed, handed Yang Liangzhenjia a bill and said: "Priest Shui, I believe you. Here is a payment voucher for three hundred taels of gold. You accept it as your last year's payment." reward,"
"Ah, thank you Lord God,"
"Water Priest, you also know that I always distinguish rewards and punishments. This time I allow you to withdraw funds on your own, just to let you build this intelligence network. Of course, it is also out of trust in you,"
"Don't worry, sir,"
As an old man from Tianya, Yang Lianzhenjia certainly knows that Lord God's smile is far more terrifying than his indifference.
"Third, you must try your best to stir up civil strife in the Southern Dynasties. Where there is fire, you must spread cattail fans widely and fan the wind everywhere to make the fire burn stronger and stronger. Where there is no fire, you must create opportunities and friction. After a long time, it will cause sparks. Among them, I have paved the way for the Tiandao Alliance. After you go back, you must make it a priority and support them with all your strength. You will do this personally. When the time is right, I will Let the fire priest come to help you,"
"Yes, my lord,"
Yin Tianya picked up an old booklet from beside the futon he was sitting on and handed it to Yang Lianzhenjia and said: "This booklet records a technique practiced by this deity, called the Heaven-defying Pulse Changing Technique, and the Alliance with Heavenly Dao
Their martial arts can complement each other, so you can give it to them as a meeting gift,"
"I obey my orders,"
"Well, as for other local forces, no matter which gods they are, no matter how big or small, we must find ways to win over those who can be used. As long as a small amount adds up to a large amount, it will be enough to make the Southern Dynasty exhausted. Okay, Water Priest,
Back off,"
After Yang Liazhenjia left, Fa Jue and Liu Bingzhong entered the house one after another.
"Holy Lord, did the Great Khan make the wrong decision this time?"
"Fa Jue, judging from the astrology, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is at the top of the sky, but the Great Khan attaches great importance to Jia Sidao. It is indeed wrong. Although Jia Sidao performed extremely well in the Battle of Ezhou, I believe that the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty is the one who should be our dynasty.
The real enemy. In fact, I also think Yang Lian Zhenjia is right.
, it is the best way to let the imperial power of the Southern Dynasties fight for power, but since the Great Khan has decided on this policy, I can't change it, not to mention Yang Lian Zhenjia's ability can't influence Jia Sidao's thinking. Let's wait and see for another half a year.
, If necessary, just notify Yang Lian Zhenjia to make changes."
"Yes, God,"
"Fajue, Bingzhong, sit down,"
"Thank you God,"
"Bingzhong, the plan for the construction of Zhongdu has been completed. Your senior brothers have also come to help. Just leave the specific matters to them. I plan to let you come back as an official. A few days ago, the Great Khan discussed this matter with me.
, The Great Khan’s intention is also the same. Let you serve as Zhongshu Minister and Tongzhi Privy Council. In addition to taking charge of the construction of our dynasty, you will also be responsible for perfecting and improving the various systems of our dynasty.”
"My lord, my subordinates have few talents and little knowledge, and I am afraid they will not be able to match their abilities. Besides, there are so many talents in the current dynasty, there are not many of them."
"Haha," Yin Tianya said with a smile, "Bingzhong, you are the only person in our dynasty who is versed in Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, and you are deeply trusted by the Great Khan, so you are the best choice."
"Subordinates must obey the will of God,"
"Okay, Bingzhong. Although there are many talents in the current dynasty, there are not many people who have the trust of the Great Khan. With your strength, you will be able to do it with ease. Within a few years, the world will be greatly settled. By then, Bingzhong, your contribution will be in the country, and since then
The name of the association will be passed down through the ages,”
The establishment of the Jinyiwei marked the beginning of the Dragon Ya organization gradually moving from behind the scenes to the stage. Over the past year, the number of Dragon Ya members has reached 700 or 800. In addition to officialdom, shopping malls and the military, other fields have also been involved.
In the past few days, Xiao Qi, with the assistance of the former Longya Intelligence Department and Security Department, quickly conceived the basic team of the Jinyiwei. It can be said that the Jinyiwei that Xiaoqi planned in his mind is a complete replica of the two major departments of Longya. I
I didn't ask too much about Jin Yiwei's progress, as long as Xiao Qi didn't violate the principles I set.
The address of the Jin Yiwei selected by Xiao Qi is located 20 meters outside the palace wall on the west side of the palace, and is only a few meters away from the imperial guard camp.
I know that Xiaoqi has been busy with the formation of Jinyiwei recently. This is also the first time that Xiaoqi is responsible for something alone, and he will devote himself wholeheartedly, so I didn't take him with me when I went out these days.
In the evening, Yuan Ji and I arrived at Shifeng Trading Company. Fang Ling, Zhang Quanyi, Xiao Tian, Song Wuxin, Yun Bofei, Zheng Huchen and others were already waiting here.
"I've met the young master,"
"Well, everyone, you haven't eaten yet, so I'm talking while eating," I said, sitting at the main seat on a large table, "Zheng Huchen, we won't talk about the production of new agricultural tools today."
Zheng Huchen said "Ah" in surprise, looked at Xiao Tian helplessly, and thought to himself, aren't we here to discuss cooperation in farm tools?
I saw that Zheng Huchen had misunderstood what I meant and said with a smile: "Boss Zheng, come here tomorrow morning and Xiao Tian will give you the drawings of the farm tools. As for whether and how to cooperate, you can just discuss it with Xiao Tian."
Zheng Huchen then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, Master."
"Let me introduce to you first, Zheng Huchen, the owner of Zheng's Ironware Manufacturing Shop in Suzhou. His business is famous for its fine ironware. Zheng Huchen, these two are Song Wuxin and Yun Bofei. They are both from Lin'an University. A senior professor is responsible for the development of large warships and is about to enter the trial production stage. The large ship they developed uses a combination of steel and wood. The iron part also needs to find a partner with superb craftsmanship. Today, I want you to come forward. This is the subject of discussion,"
"I've met Professor Song and Professor Yun," Zheng Huchen quickly stood up and saluted.
"Boss Zheng, you're welcome," Song and Yun both stood up and returned the greeting.
Zheng Huchen then introduced a young man in his twenties next to him and said: "Sir, this is the chief craftsman of our Suzhou Trading Company. His name is Zhao Yuncong. He studied under the famous Suzhou master Wang Zhiyuan."
Zhao Yuncong stood up and said: "I, Zhao Yuncong, have met Mr. Huyan and all the seniors."
"Wang Zhiyuan, could it be Master Wang who made stone astronomical maps," Yun Bofei said.
"Exactly," Zheng Huchen explained when he saw that I didn't seem to know this person, "Master Wang Zhiyuan is from Suzhou. His ancestor was the royal craftsman of the Bianjing Palace. He was proficient in astronomy, mechanics and some strange academics. Oh, sir, these strange academics can be called physics. The astronomical stone carvings that Professor Yun just mentioned are the masterpieces of Master Wang,"
According to historical records, in the seventh year of Chunyou (1247), Wang Zhiyuan carved the Huang Shang Astronomical Map in Suzhou. It is the first stone-carved astronomical map preserved in China and the world. It has three concentric circles with the North Pole as the center, respectively. It represents the ever-present circle of the North Pole, the ever-hidden circle of the South Pole and the equator. The twenty-eight radial lines represent the twenty-eight constellations. It depicts the Milky Way, the ecliptic, etc., and there are 1,430 stars planned. By the Renaissance in Europe in the 14th century In the past, the number of observed stars was only 1,022, and there was no scientific star map at all.
Yun Bofei said: "Yun knows this master."
"Really? He must be a scientist too,"
"Exactly, Young Master, let me first listen to my subordinate's story about the past," Yun Bofei said, "More than a hundred years ago, there were two outstanding master craftsmen in the Bianjing Palace at that time, one named Wang Shukui and the other named Yunlei is the ancestor of my subordinate and Master Wang Zhiyuan, both of whom were disciples of the great scientist Su Song in his later years."
"I know Su Song, he is the scientist who made the Water Movement Instrument Platform,"
"Yes, Mr. Su Song is proficient in astronomy, mechanics, pharmacology, etc., and is a famous great scientist in our dynasty. Not long after your lord passed away, the Jin people invaded the south in a large scale. Only then did Gaozong go south, and Lin'an became the place where our dynasty visited. However, the Jin Kingdom itself was a barbaric country, but the monarch at that time was still aware of current affairs. When the city was destroyed, he strictly ordered the Jin soldiers not to kill all kinds of craftsmen. Their ancestors Yun Lei and Wang Shukui took the opportunity to escape and returned to their respective hometowns. When I was young, I visited Wang Zhiyuan in Suzhou and had many exchanges with him. Master Wang Zhiyuan is very talented. Like Master Su Song, he is also proficient in astronomy and mechanics. Unlike his subordinate, who only knows some superficial aspects of mechanics. Later, due to the war between Song and Mongolia, there was no contact again."
I am more eager for talents in the natural sciences than anyone else in this era, so I quickly asked: "Is Master Wang Zhiyuan still alive?"
