Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

With the loan from the bank, some people with insufficient property can also use the loan to purchase ships or purchase goods, so that many people have seen the way to make a fortune. However, bank loans require collateral and guarantees to prevent bad debts from appearing.

Anyway, these days Zhao Ji is busy with these things, making all the ministers busy, thinking about this ordinance, that norm all day long, which is much harder than before.

Regarding the regulation of going overseas, many rich people are happy. In the past, the Song Dynasty had stricter requirements for going to sea, many of which were directly arranged by the state, and individual ships were worried about the risks at sea, so very few people went to sea.

Now all the conditions have been met, ships, compasses, charts, and a lot of Song Dynasty's troops are traveling in various places, so these people have become more courageous.

Soon the ship's business became prosperous.

In addition to those big boats that go out to sea, there are also some small boats that can be used to transport goods or fish.

Supplementing a large number of sea fish, yes, the dining table of the people of the Song Dynasty has become richer, and people's physique will gradually improve after 10 years, and the life expectancy will no longer be as low as it is now.

In addition, Zhao Ji is also preparing to vigorously develop airships.

The airship has a large cargo capacity, mainly ignores the terrain, and does not need to build too many roads and railways. And the airship can also fly to the stratosphere, where there are no storms, and can fly better around the world. Only one thing is not very good, that is, there is no positioning system, it is easy to get lost at high altitudes, and the fuel is difficult to replenish.

"Then let's radiate the surrounding areas of our Song Dynasty first, to the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north, Malay Island in the south, Dongying in the east, and Dashi Kingdom in the west! However, the airship may be applied to the military, so the airship must be controlled in In the hands of the imperial court, it must not be used for private use!" Zhao Ji discussed with Li Gang, and Li Gang and the others should also be involved in new things, otherwise it would be difficult for them to make a decision.

"Yes, Your Majesty.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how about we take the airship to see and see tomorrow?" Zhao Ji said to them.

Several ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all a little worried, "Your Majesty, if a gentleman does not set up a dangerous wall, Your Majesty should not take risks!"

In fact, they are not afraid of the emperor taking risks, but they are afraid of taking risks on their own. They all know that the emperor is protected by golden eagles and can fly with his sword, but they can't! Flying at high altitudes is too insecure!

However, Zhao Ji did not understand their painstaking efforts, shook his head and said, "It's okay, how can I get to know him if I don't try new things. I will ride the airship with you tomorrow!"

Well, it seems that there is no escape!

Now that the airship has been made a bigger one, and it has undergone many test flights, there is no doubt about its safety performance.

The "Da Song" airship is 51 meters long and has a maximum diameter of 8.4 meters at the front. This is a rigid airship. Its biggest feature is that it has a hard skeleton, which is composed of a longitudinal beam on the abdomen, 24 long pestles and 16 frames, and uses a large number of longitudinal and transverse cables to enhance the structural strength.

The outside of the hull frame is covered with a skin made of tarpaulin. There are 17 airbags in the hull, with a total volume of 12,000 cubic meters and a total buoyancy of 13 tons. Since the multiple airbags can also play a role similar to the water barrier on a ship, the flight safety is greatly improved.

powered by two internal combustion engines,

Although airships are large and clumsy compared to airplanes, they are inconvenient to maneuver, slow and easily affected by wind; but airships also have outstanding advantages, such as vertical take-off and landing, long stay in the air, long hovering or slow speed Travel without consuming fuel, low noise, low pollution, good economy, and with the widespread use of helium filling in airships

Safety is also greatly improved.

So Zhao Ji and the others will take this airship.

It was a big event, and many people came to watch it.

The huge airship is simply a giant, and people feel the pressure when they look down.

Of course, Zhao Ji walked at the front, followed by a dozen or so ministers. These were the most important ministers in the Song Dynasty. If they were wiped out, the Song Dynasty would be in chaos.

This airship is designed to be more luxurious, at least they can be in a place similar to a house without the cold wind, and there are seats, fruits and other things inside.

"Take off!" Zhao Ji said.

The airship took off slowly, Zhao Ji waved to the people, and the people shouted long live!

In addition to them, there are dozens of masters on the airship, as well as several students who control the airship.

Watching the airship lift off, Zhao Ji was very excited, but several ministers were pale and shaky, with cold sweat on their faces.

"No, are you afraid of heights?" Zhao Ji was a little dumbfounded, and quickly let them go into the room.

Some of the remaining ministers also fought with each other, but they were unwilling to stand in front of the emperor and reluctantly stood here.

"Look at me, the rivers and mountains of Song Dynasty are magnificent, especially when viewed from a high altitude. Why not throw my head and shed blood for the sake of the rivers and mountains of Song Dynasty?" Zhao Ji stood there, looked down and said to several ministers.

Although Zong Ze was old, he was very courageous, and he said loudly, "Yes, Your Majesty's words are great! My Song Dynasty has never been short of heroic men who serve the country bravely, fighting against Western Xia and Khitan, how many good men have made us Han in 993. Family sacrifices, but everything is worth it!

I really hope that this mountain and river will always be my Han family world!"

Zhao Ji looked at Zong Ze, nodded and said, "Yes, as long as we fight this country firmly, it will not be shaken for at least a few hundred years!"

Saying that, Zhao Ji stretched out his hand and said, "Look to the east, we have already captured Dongying, and set up a solid position there. If the enemy comes from the sea, at least we have a warning time. The same is true for the south, and the west. , Only the north is more difficult.

The weather in the north is too harsh, the weather is cold and freezing, and it is difficult for us soldiers of the Song Dynasty to adapt. So the focus of our defense in the future should be the north... Let's go to the north and take a look!

The airship did not fly very high, that is, two or three hundred meters, and the two large characters written on the airship could be clearly seen from the ground, "Da Song!"

Flying over all the way, accepting the worship of the people all the way, at this time there are still many people who have never seen an airship, and they are still afraid to see such a miraculous thing.

Zhao Ji was a little dissatisfied, "It's still not open to people's wisdom, I only think of ghosts and gods! 35

Li Gang laughed, "Your Majesty, if we hadn't seen each other a lot, if it were a few years ago, I'd probably have come down to earth as an immortal!
