The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1483
In the next few days, Li Fanghua also led all the officials and some soldiers of the Haimao Africa Nautical Team, as well as his wives and concubines, back to Changsha.

Zhao Dongting still went to the gate of the city to meet him.

Not surprisingly, Li Fanghua also brought back many animals and plants from Africa.It even includes such beasts as lions and bison.

Although by this time, the Ministry of Construction had already received preliminary funds from the Finance Department and started surveying the land at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, it may take a long time before the zoo and botanical gardens are fully completed.Zhao Dongting had no choice but to arrange for the Flying Dragon Army to lock these ferocious beasts in the barracks first.

Li Fanghua got a lot of tan on this trip to Africa, and so did his wives.It's just that it looks healthier this way, and the wheat-colored skin of his wives is particularly attractive.

After Zhao Dongting brought Li Fanghua and other nautical team officials to the imperial study, he learned about the current situation in Africa from their mouths.

Africa is indeed still in a rather primitive stage.The aborigines there are almost the same as those in America and Australia, and they still live a life that is almost like drinking blood.

Li Fanghua also said that the tribes there fought against each other, and even now there are many tribes that cannibalize human flesh.

Compared with the Great Song Dynasty, such a tribe is naturally many years behind.

As long as the Imperial Army of Song Dynasty reaches Africa, it will not be difficult to rule the whole of Africa.

But Zhao Dongting just shook his head slightly after hearing what he said, and said with a smile: "As long as the Great Song City can stand upright, there is no need for me to send an army."

The climate in Africa is hot and there are many diseases.He didn't want to send soldiers there, because it was difficult for the natives to defeat the imperial army, but natural factors such as infectious diseases could.

More importantly, Zhao Dongting knows that the assimilation of civilization is the real rule.Conquest is nothing but the most elementary rule.

All he has to do is plant the seeds of civilization in South America, North America, Australia and Africa.

Later, Li Fanghua was also rewarded by Zhao Dongting.

His return did not cause much disturbance in Changsha city, but it also caused many people to watch on the street.During this period, the successive return of the sailing team has become a hot topic in Changsha.

May and a half.

It happened to be the eve of the Mingjingtai meeting, and Wen Qingshu went to the imperial study to report that more than [-] national-level mirrors from the entire Song Dynasty had already settled down in the imperial city.

Zhao Dongting set the venue for the Der Spiegel Conference to be held in the Royal Garden of the Imperial Palace.

At this time, the imperial garden has also been properly arranged.In addition to placing many book cases, the top is also carefully covered with canvas to block the sun.

Colorful flags are fluttering around, and flowers are blooming like brocades.

At this time, Chen Wenlong finally completed the handover with Huang Hua and returned to Changsha City.

Huang Hua was officially promoted to Generalissimo of the Xingguo Military Region, and was also elected to the Military Aircraft Cabinet at the same time.

The Fujian Road pacifier was replaced by the original deputy pacifier.

On the day of the Der Spiegel Conference, Changsha City was as usual, and the palace was extremely lively.

Except for the chief officials of the provinces and ministries, and the humerus ministers who were appointed to the central cabinet were all announced into the palace, those bright mirrors who lived in the tavern outside the palace specially used to entertain officials on official business in the imperial city also entered the palace one after another.Before the opening of the Mingjingtai, the eunuch led it to the imperial garden.

According to Zhao Dongting's arrangement, the House of Internal Servants had already pasted the names of these bright mirrors on those desks.

Zhao Dongting and others sat at the top.

When the mirrors arrived, Zhao Dongting had already been waiting here.Next to him were Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang, Wang Wenfu, Zhao Yuluo and other top officials.

In the distance, there are many palace guards guarding.There are also palace musicians holding various instruments.

All the bright mirrors arrived one after another, and they all saluted excitedly after seeing Zhao Dongting.

In their hearts, being elected as the mirror is a surprise from heaven.Before this, most of them probably never thought that they could see the emperor in this life.

After all, although they are quite prestigious officials in various places, or people who have made great achievements in a certain industry, they are not officials of the Song Dynasty after all.

Zhao Dongting was quite kind to these bright mirrors, smiling and nodding frequently when they saluted.

When everyone arrived, there was still about two quarters of an hour before the meeting time.Because Zhao Dongting was sitting on it, there was no sound below.

Even though there are many old people in the bright mirror, they are extremely reserved in front of Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting only had a few occasional chats with Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu next to him, and the chat was about preparations for attacking the Yuan Dynasty.

This is the most important thing for Da Song.

Before the fierce tiger in the Yuan Dynasty was wiped out, the Great Song Dynasty could not be regarded as the overlord of the world.

When the meeting time came, there were drums, flutes, and the sound of chimes and other musical instruments.This voice is mighty and surging.

In the middle of the circle surrounded by mirrors is the flag stand. One soldier in bright golden armor let go and raised the Song Dynasty flag, while the other slowly pulled the rope.

At this moment, Zhao Dongting, Wen Tianxiang, Wang Wenfu and other central cabinet members stood up and stared at the national flag of Song Dynasty.

The national flag of the Song Dynasty was fluttering, slowly rising towards the top of the flagpole.

All the bright mirrors from all over the place quickly followed suit.

The sound of the national anthem of the Song Dynasty faintly sounded, and then became louder and louder.

When Zhao Dongting made the national flag and composed the national anthem, many people didn't understand it, thinking that it was just a superficial form, but Zhao Dongting knew its significance.

Standing under the national flag and watching the national flag of Song Dynasty rise slowly, even he felt a strong sense of pride in his heart.

After the national anthem was played, the national flag of Song Dynasty was raised to the top.

Zhao Dongting sat down, keenly aware of the slight changes in the eyes of the mirrors.

Then, he looked at Wen Qingshu.

Wen Qingshu, who holds the post of general secretary of the Der Spiegel, stood up, holding the document in his hand, and read it out.

Such a meeting scene is almost no different from that of later generations.

Wen Qingshu first introduced Wen Tianxiang, Zhao Yuluo and others one by one, and then officially announced to the mirror that these are the first members of the central cabinet of the Great Song Dynasty.Except for the military cabinet members guarding various places, the central cabinet members of the Great Song Dynasty have basically all arrived.

Afterwards, Wen Qingshu began to explain the responsibilities and functions of the Der Spiegel to the Der Spiegel.

Although before this, the imperial court had already distributed documents.But now it is more convincing to say it in front of Zhao Dongting.

After all the mirrors confirmed that they had the right to elect and recall the members of the central cabinet, they were somewhat surprised.

This is almost equivalent to the official career of the top officials of the Song Dynasty will be restricted by them.This was definitely something they didn't even dare to think about before.

After Wen Qingshu finished speaking, it was Zhao Dongting's turn.

Zhao Dongting didn't say much. The members of the central cabinet for this term have been confirmed, and there is no plan to hold another election.He just reminds all the mirrors not to forget their duties.

They are all representatives of the common people. Only when they uphold the justice in their hearts and stick to their original intention of pleading for life for the people, can the common people of Song Dynasty live a better and better life.

It can be said that the first half of the Der Spiegel meeting was not too attractive.

Until the second half, Zhao Dongting asked Zhong Mingjing to write about his views on state affairs.The imperial garden is quite lively.

Before that, Zhao Dongting never said that he would ask Zhong Mingjing to write such things during the meeting.

All the mirrors were completely unprepared, so they had to discuss a few words.

Even Lu Xiufu looked extremely surprised.

He only understood what Zhao Dongting was thinking, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The emperor once said that you know how warm or cold your home is.Whether the Great Song Dynasty is prosperous or not, and whether the people's lives are good or not, he doesn't care, and the court officials don't matter, only the people themselves know.

And these bright mirrors in front of you, aren't they representatives of the common people?

Lu Xiufu is also very curious, wanting to know what kind of questions and suggestions these bright mirrors can write.

Time passed slowly.

It was not until nearly two hours had passed that the meeting was declared over.

Zhao Dongting brought the central cabinet members and all the bright mirrors to set up a banquet in the palace.

Just before the meeting was adjourned, Zhao Dongting asked Zhang Tingen and Zhang Polu to collect the remonstrance letter from the Mingjing, and said that the Mingjingtai meeting would not end like this, and he still had to discuss the policy of governing the country with the Mingjing.And what it is aimed at is the question raised by the Der Spiegel in their remonstrance letter.

After the bright mirrors had dinner and left the palace that day, Zhao Dongting took the central cabinet members to the imperial study and began to get busy.
