Therefore, in order to successfully complete the task, you must be cautious.
"Next, the Department of Physics submitted their steamship design this morning. They and the expert team from the ship project team will use a steam engine for ship experiments."
Yan Shu changed to another state affairs road: "After many tests and research modifications, they think they can build a steel steamship over ten feet long to try it out first."
"Ten zhang, about thirty meters. I remember the first steamship in history, the Clermont, was forty-five meters long. It was tested on the Hudson River in the United States, traveling 91.4 kilometers at a speed of 6.4 kilometers per hour, marking the birth of the steamship."
Zhao Jun pondered for a moment, then said, "I don't think we need to be so conservative about ships. The Song Dynasty will expand into the world, so the maritime industry must be supported, and ships are a top priority. I've spoken to the School of Physics. I admire their pioneering spirit. Feel free to go for it boldly. Don't worry. The country will support them."
"Yeah, okay."
Yan Shu nodded.
Then Li Di also pushed his glasses.
Since the emergence of transparent glass, it has gradually begun to be used in life.
Products such as glasses, telescopes, microscopes, etc. have naturally been used for research in the School of Physics.
So an eyewear store appeared in Bianliang last year, bringing great benefits to patients with myopia, presbyopia, hyperopia and other eye diseases.
Li Di said: "This year the Ministry of Criminal Justice plans to promote a judicial reform concerning the principles of international crimes."
“Has it been legislated yet?”
"Yes. Based on your opinion, Hanlong, we have established the four principles of territoriality, personal identity, protection, and universality."
"Well, as our international trade deepens and our transactions with neighboring countries become more frequent, we still need strict legislation for those who flee abroad after committing crimes like this, or commit crimes abroad."
Zhao Jun said.
In recent years, there has been a trend of going abroad.
Especially many went to Japan and Goryeo. With the discovery of many gold and silver mines in Japan, many people went to Japan to pan for gold.
But the crime rate also soared as a result.
Many people who committed crimes in their country fled and smuggled into Japan and Korea, where they committed crimes and formed a huge criminal gang.
Japan was extremely annoyed, but also worried about the Song Dynasty stationing troops on Tsushima Island, so it wrote to the Song Dynasty, hoping that the Song Dynasty could provide a solution.
Zhao Jun then remembered that with the emergence of steamships, international trade would inevitably become more prosperous, and such criminal problems would continue to occur, so he began to work on legislation in this regard, and now the Ministry of Justice has prepared the bill.
"Then I will approve it, and it will be officially promulgated next year."
Li Di said.
"Um."
Zhao Jun nodded in agreement.
Then Jia Changchao, Zhang Shixun, Jiang Tang and others also talked about some important issues in their respective departments.
The Ministry of Education is organizing the imperial examination again this year. According to the requirements of the Political System Council, the content of mathematics, physics and chemistry must be increased to 20 this year, which makes the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Rites somewhat embarrassed.
In the fourth year of the Qingli period, the first subject to be included in the education reform was mathematics. After all, mathematics was one of the contents of the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, and due to the developed commodity economy in the Song Dynasty, the trend of learning mathematics was obviously more popular. Therefore, no one objected to this point.
But starting last year, physics and chemistry were included, which caused quite a bit of controversy. Many scholars protested against the reform, and many interested officials inside and outside the court wrote to the court, requesting that it be postponed.
However, Zhao Jun still forced the policy forward. However, at the beginning, the content of mathematics, physics and chemistry was not much, accounting for about 10% of the entire exam content.
The proportion is to be increased again this year, but the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Rites have expressed opposition.
Unfortunately, the objection was ineffective.
no way.
This period is definitely a period of pain.
This harmed the interests of a large number of scholars who had previously only focused on Confucian classics.
But these things have to be done, otherwise it will be impossible to increase people's enthusiasm for learning mathematics, physics and chemistry.
The idea of becoming an official by taking the imperial examination has been deeply rooted. If mathematics, physics and chemistry are not included in the imperial examination, it will not be easy to promote it quickly.
After everyone finished discussing the main issues of each department one by one, the atmosphere finally reached the final critical point.
"Okay, now comes the last thing."
Zhao Jun gently raised the document in his hand and said, "This is the resignation that Lord Lü Xu submitted to the emperor this morning. He said he was old and ill and wanted to spend his remaining years in retirement. The emperor was reluctant to do so, but firstly, Lord Lü is seriously ill, and secondly, his ten-year term is up, so this is the only way. Next month, the Constitutional Council will be re-elected."
When he said this, Song Shu and Cai Qi became nervous.
Lu Yijian was a man with a strong desire for power. Since a few years ago, his condition has been unstable, sometimes better and sometimes worse.
But even so, he was still unwilling to retire due to illness. Even when Zhao Zhen gave him sick leave, he insisted on working while sick. As long as his health improved, he would go to the Constitutional Council to make his presence felt.
Is it because he loves his work and is willing to sacrifice his life for the country and the people?
Of course not.
This is because the power of the Constitutional Council ostensibly came from Zhao Zhen, but in fact it came from the fact that they sat in the Constitutional Council and had the power to review memorials and influence personnel transfers.
In addition to national affairs, personnel changes in various departments, promotions and demotions of officials were all controlled by the prime ministers.
This means that as long as Lu Yijian remains in the Constitutional Court, he can still hold on to power and provide his followers with "political resources" for upward advancement.
