The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 319 Master Wang Zhiyuan

Under the leadership of Fa Jue, Tianya Water Priest Yang Lian Zhenjia came to Yin Tianya's residence to accept the latent mission for the new year.

"See my lord,"

Yin Tianya pointed to the futon on the ground expressionlessly and said, "Well, sit down."

"Thank you, my lord,"

Yin Tianya cut to the chase and said, "Yang Lian Zhenjia, you have three tasks this year."

Yang Lian Zhenjia said respectfully: "Yes, please give instructions, my lord."

"According to the Great Khan's instructions, your first task is to keep in close contact with Jia Sidao. If you can't tell the opposite, then try to let him cultivate his morals."

After Yang Lian Zhenjia heard this, he hesitated a little and said: "My lord, judging from the situation in the Southern Dynasties, their little emperor is making great changes, and the results are increasing. The subordinates think, why not encourage Jia Sidao and the little emperor to fight for power and profit, and let the southern court What about civil strife?"

"The Great Khan believes that the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty was full of blood and was eager to take power after he ascended the throne. He emptied Jia Sidao and even reorganized the imperial army. Including, if Jia Sidao regains power, there will be unfavorable factors for my southward movement," Yin Tianya also had a flash of hesitation in his eyes, and said helplessly, "Since Da Khan has made such a decision, you can carry it out."

"Yes, my lord, I didn't expect Da Khan to value Jia Sidao so much,"

"Maybe it was the battle of Ezhou that year. After the war, the Great Khan once lamented 'I am safe like a Taoist uses it'. Yang Lian Zhenjia, let's go on to the second point. Among the key institutions, establish and improve the intelligence network for detailed operations. Intelligence collection is the main task of your small operations. Except for Nanshan and Shi Yuqi, you should not act rashly for the time being. A business firm has been set up on the East Road, and you can use the seal of the firm to withdraw funds for the event, the amount is up to you, and the seal is in the law, and you can ask him to get it when you leave, "

"Obey, my lord," Yang Lian Zhenjia said while suppressing the joy in his heart.

Everyone in the upper echelons of Tianya knows that the water priest Yang Lian Zhenjia is greedy for money, and the fire priest Jebal is lustful.

"Yang Lian Zhenjia, if you dare to take these funds as your own, don't blame the deity for being ungrateful. Even if the national teacher Ba Siba comes forward, he will not be able to protect you." Yin Tianya's voice was very cold, and Yang Lian Zhenjia couldn't help it shuddered.

"My lord, but don't worry, my subordinates dare not,"

"Really?" Yin Tianya laughed suddenly, handed Yang Lian Zhenjia a receipt and said, "Water Priest, I trust you, here is a payment certificate for 300 taels of gold, you accept it as your reward from last year ,"

"Ah, thank you, my lord,"

"Water Priest, you also know that this deity has always been very clear about rewards and punishments. This time, this deity allows you to withdraw funds by yourself, so that you can build this intelligence network. Of course, it is also out of trust in you,"

"Don't worry, my lord,"

As an old man at the end of the world, Yang Lian Zhenjia certainly knew that the smile of the godly lord was far more terrifying than indifference.

"Third, you must do everything possible to keep stirring up civil strife in the Southern Dynasties. Where there is fire, you must spread cattail fans widely and fan the wind everywhere, so that the fire will burn more and more vigorously; where there is no fire, you must create opportunities and friction. After a long time, it will cause sparks. Among them, the deity of the Heavenly Dao League has paved it for you. After you go back, you must make it a priority and support them with all your strength. You will do it yourself. When the time is right, the deity will Let the Fire Priest come and help you,"

"Yes, my lord,"

Yin Tianya picked up an old booklet from the side of the futon where he was sitting and handed it to Yang Lian Zhenjia, saying: "This booklet records a kind of kung fu practiced by this deity, called the method of changing the meridian against the sky, and the method of the Tiandao League. Their martial arts can complement each other, as a meeting gift, you can give it to them."

"Subordinates obey,"

"Well, as for other local forces, no matter what kind of gods they are, no matter how big or small they are, they must find ways to win them over. As long as they add up, they will be enough to make Nanchao exhausted. Alright, Water Priest, back off,"

After Yang Lian Zhenjia left, Fa Jue and Liu Bingzhong entered the house one after the other.

"God, is the Khan's decision wrong this time?"

"Fajue, judging from the astrology, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is like the sun in the sky, but the Great Khan attaches great importance to Jia Sidao. It is indeed a mistake. Although Jia Sidao performed extremely well in the battle of Ezhou, I believe that the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty is my dynasty. In fact, the deity also thinks that Yang Lian Zhenjia is right, it is the best way to let the imperial power and the power of the southern dynasty fight, but since the Great Khan has made this policy, the deity cannot change it, not to mention the ability of Yang Lian Zhenjia I can't control Jia Sidao's thinking, let's wait another half a year for this matter, if necessary, just inform Yang Lian Zhenjia to change it then."

"Yes, my god,"

"Fajue, Bingzhong, sit down,"

"Thank God,"

"Bingzhong, the plan for the construction of the Central Capital has been completed, and your senior brothers have come to help. Just leave the specific affairs to them. This deity intends to let you come back as an official. A few days ago, Da Khan and this deity discussed this matter. The same is true of the Great Khan’s intention, let you serve as the secretary of the Zhongshu and the Privy Council of Tongzhi, in addition to being in charge of the construction of our dynasty, you will also be responsible for perfecting and improving various systems of our dynasty.”

"My lord, my subordinates are less talented and less learned, and I am afraid that they will not be able to do it. Besides, there are so many talents in the current court, and there are not many subordinates."

"Haha," Yin Tianya said with a smile, "Bingzhong, you are the only person in my court who is well versed in Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, and you are deeply trusted by the Great Khan, so you are the best candidate."

"Subordinates follow the will of the gods,"

"Okay, Bingzhong, although there are a lot of talents in the current court, there are not many people who can be trusted by the Great Khan. With your power, you should be able to do a job with ease. In a few years, the world will be stable. At that time, Bingzhong, your contribution will be due to the country. The name will be passed down through the ages,"

The establishment of Jinyiwei marks that the Longya organization has gradually moved from behind the scenes to the stage. Over the past year, the number of Longya members has reached 800 to [-]. In addition to officialdom, shopping malls and the military, other fields have also been involved.

Over the past few days, Xiaoqi, with the assistance of the original Longya Intelligence Department and Security Department, quickly conceived the basic team of Jinyiwei. It can be said that the Jinyiwei that Xiaoqi planned in his mind is completely a replica of the two departments of Longya. I didn't ask too much about Jin Yiwei's progress, as long as Xiaoqi didn't violate the principles I set.

The address of Jinyiwei chosen by Xiaoqi is located 20 meters outside the palace wall to the west of the imperial palace, only a few meters away from the imperial guard camp.

I know that Xiaoqi has been busy with the establishment 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 few days.

In the evening, Yuan Ji and I arrived at Shifeng Commercial Firm. Fang Ling, Zhang Quanyi, Xiao Tian, ​​Song Wuxin, Yun Bofei, Zheng Huchen and others were already waiting here.

"I have seen the young man,"

"Well, everyone, you haven't eaten yet, and I'm talking while eating," I said while sitting on a large countertop, "Zheng Huchen, let's not talk about the production of new farm tools today,"

Zheng Huchen let out an "ah" in surprise, looked at Xiao Tian helplessly, and thought to himself, aren't we here to talk about the cooperation of farm tools?

Seeing that Zheng Huchen misunderstood me, I said with a smile: "Boss Zheng, when you come here tomorrow morning, Xiao Tian will give you the drawing of the farm tools. As for whether and how to cooperate, you can just discuss with Xiao Tian."

Zheng Huchen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, my lord."

"Let me introduce to you first, Zheng Huchen, the owner of Zheng's Ironware Workshop in Suzhou. His firm is famous for its exquisite ironware. Zheng Huchen, these two are Song Wuxin and Yun Bofei, both from Lin'an University. Senior professors are in charge of the development of large ships, and they are about to enter the trial production stage. The large ships they developed are made of a combination of steel and wood. The iron parts also need to find partners with exquisite craftsmanship. I want you to come here today This is the subject of the deliberations."

"I've met Professor Song and Professor Yun," Zheng Huchen quickly stood up and saluted.

"Boss Zheng is polite," Song and Yun also got up to return the greeting.

Zheng Huchen then introduced a young man in his 20s beside him and said, "My lord, this is the chief craftsman of my Suzhou firm. His name is Zhao Yuncong. He studied under Wang Zhiyuan, a famous teacher in Suzhou."

Zhao Yuncong stood up and said, "My servant, Zhao Yuncong, has 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 saw that I didn't seem to know this person, so he explained, "Master Wang Zhiyuan, a native of Suzhou, his ancestor was an imperial craftsman in Bianjing Palace, proficient in astronomy, mechanics and some strange academics. Oh, my son, these strange academics can be called physics, the astronomical stone carvings mentioned by Professor Yun just now are the masterpieces of Master Wang."

According to historical records, in the seventh year of Chunyou (1247), the Huangshang astronomical map carved by Wang Zhiyuan in Suzhou is the first stone-carved astronomical map preserved in China and the world. It has three concentric circles centered on the North Pole, respectively. It represents the Arctic constant circle, the Antarctic constant hidden circle and the equator. The 28 radial lines represent the 28 star distances. The Milky Way, the ecliptic, etc. are drawn, and 430 stars are planned. Before the Renaissance in Europe in the 22th century, the observed The number of stars is only [-], and there is no scientific star map at all.

Yun Bofei said: "Yun knows this master,"

"Really, he must be a scientist too,"

"That's right, my lord, first listen to my subordinates tell a story about the past," Yun Bofei said, "More than 100 years ago, there were two outstanding master craftsmen in the Bianjing Palace at that time, one was called Wang Shukui, and the other was called Yunlei. , that is, the ancestors of my subordinates and Master Wang Zhiyuan, both of them were disciples of the great scientist Su Song in his later years, "

"I know Su Song, he is the scientist who made the astronomical observatory,"

"Yes, Mr. Su Song is proficient in astronomy, machinery and pharmacology, etc. He is a famous scientist in our dynasty. Not long after your lord passed away, the Jin people invaded the south on a large scale. This is how Gaozong went to the south, and Lin'an became the place where we traveled. However, the Kingdom of Jin itself was a barbaric country, but its monarch at that time was still aware of current affairs. When the city was broken, the Jin soldiers were strictly ordered not to kill all kinds of craftsmen. The ancestors Yunlei and Wang Shukui took the opportunity to escape and returned to their respective hometowns. When my subordinate was young, he once visited Wang Zhiyuan in Suzhou and had many exchanges. Master Wang Zhiyuan is very talented. Like Master Su Song, he is also proficient in astronomy and mechanics. Unlike his subordinates, he only knows some superficial aspects of mechanics. Later, due to the war between Song and Meng, we never contacted each other again."

For talents in natural sciences, I am more eager than anyone in this era, so I hurriedly asked: "Is Master Wang Zhiyuan still alive?"
