In addition to a red archbishop who is ambitious but incapable of becoming pope, a country that is dissatisfied with the Holy See but incapable of unifying Europe is also a key link.

Support the red archbishop to engage in indulgences, support a European country to fight against the tithe, let the Holy See and Europa themselves become chaotic first, and then the Song Dynasty can slowly absorb the blood of the entire Europe to subsidize the Song Dynasty.

Alleviating the pressure within the Song Dynasty itself.

The only question now is where to find a cardinal, and which European country to choose to serve as the troublemaker.

Theoretically speaking, Henry II of the Plantagenet Dynasty is definitely an excellent choice, but England is not yet the empire on which the sun never sets in later generations. Even if Henry II wants to act as a troublemaker, he cannot disturb Europa.

Such a big basin of shit.

As for the red archbishop, it is also a headache.

Although missionaries had appeared on the territory of the Song Dynasty at this time, those missionaries were basically characters who relied on love to generate electricity, not to mention the red archbishop, even the bishops who were two levels lower than the red archbishop

None, basically just some priests, pastors and the like, and Zhao Huan didn't have the time to slowly support them.

Then Zhao Huan thought of the unlucky Conrad III.

The Plantagenet dynasty led by Henry II could not stir up a big mess like Europe, but Conrad III was, after all, the Holy Roman Emperor who was neither holy nor Roman, nor worthy of the name of an empire.

He is of great importance and can be regarded as a qualified tool man.

"Send someone to the Yelu Dashi to bring back Conrad III."

Zhao Huan rubbed his forehead and told Wu Xin: "Let someone train him well and then send him back to Europa."

"Tell him that human beings were created by Nuwa, the Empress, who kneaded the earth. The Baiyi people on the other side of Europe are obviously too frivolous and do not know the destiny. They are mere false gods who have stolen power. The tithe is an act of deceiving the people.

, indulgences are even more nonsense.”

"Let the people from the Imperial City Department go and capture the cardinal."

…

"I'll throw away his mother-in-law!"

Gao Zian, the minister of the Ministry of Industry with a sad face, was cursing in the lobby of the Ministry of Industry: "You are really not the son of a man!"

"He thinks it's enough to have a few workers on hand?"

"Not to mention the tens of thousands of workers he has on hand, even if he gives me millions of workers, it may not be enough!"

"I think he is thinking about shit!"

After he finished scolding, Gao Zian couldn't help but touch his hair again, and then sighed.

Gao Zian even missed the years when the emperor was in power.

I think back then, everyone just recited poems and painted paintings when they had nothing to do. Occasionally, they would go to a brothel and maybe meet the emperor. Even if they had to constantly give annual coins to countries such as Liao, Jin, Xixia, and Jiaozhi, even in the Song Dynasty,

There is also constant rebellion inside, but at least there is no need to worry about the hair issue.

But it was the official's turn to be in power. Although the Liao Kingdom, Xixia and Jiaozhi were gone, the Song Dynasty did not need to give anyone a year's money, and there was no rebellion within itself, but the official position was far less comfortable than those under the emperor's rule. On the contrary,

There is always a sense of danger that my hair will go bald.

now……

The Royal Academy that the official and his old man has been tossing about is finally a rooster laying an egg. After so many years of tossing, the steam engine and steam locomotive required by the official are finally produced. Although what do you think of the steam engine and steam locomotive produced by the Royal Academy?

It's simple, but a discerning person can see the benefits of this thing at a glance. It can definitely be regarded as a good thing among good things. It's not in vain that the officials spent so much money on the Royal Academy.

Then the problem arises.

With such a good thing as a steam locomotive, Zhao Huan naturally would not hide it like a treasure. Instead, after several test runs, he asked the Ministry of Industry to start planning railway lines and strive to cover the entire railway network throughout the Song Dynasty.

But what I never expected was that the local feudal officials couldn't sit still after learning the news.

First of all, Qin Huiwan was the first to send an official document to the Ministry of Industry, stating that he was building the new capital of the Song Dynasty and asked the Ministry of Industry to prioritize the planning of the railway to Shuntian Prefecture. The progress of the Shuntian Prefecture capital must not be delayed under any circumstances.

Immediately afterwards, Yelu Dashi sent an official document to the Ministry of Industry, saying that there was a war going on here. If there was no railway to transport supplies, he, the King of Pingxi, would not have enough confidence in his heart. In addition, his side would be the focus of military deployment in the future of the Song Dynasty.

direction, so no matter what, please ask the Ministry of Industry to plan the railway network in the Western Region first.

More than thirty other chief ministers also sent official documents.

And this is exactly why Gao Zian cursed loudly in the lobby of the Ministry of Industry.

Shuntian Prefecture wants to build a railway, Xiyu wants to build a railway, and more than thirty other chief ministers also want to build a railway, but they all want to build it on their own territory first. I'm afraid you don't treat me, the official of the Ministry of Industry, as a god.

Really? Do you really think I can fix the railway just by blowing my breath?

I want to eat shit!

Especially that scoundrel Yelu Dashi!

How big is the Western Region? You, Yelu Dashi, have no idea how big it is?

Yes, you, Yelu Dashi, have tens of thousands of laborers at your disposal, but how many laborers are enough to build the railway? At least it will take hundreds or thousands of times more!

Thinking of this, Gao Zian simply slapped the table with hatred, and then went straight to the household department.

The total number of workers currently employed by the Song Dynasty is only a few million at full count. A small number of them are on the construction site of Shuntian Prefecture, and the rest are basically placed by the Ministry of Industry on river bridge projects in various places. There are no workers at all.

Extra available.

Even if the Jin Kingdom is destroyed immediately and Han Shizhong, Yelu Dashi and others are allowed to immediately start recruitment work, they will not be able to recruit enough workers for a while.

It is simply impossible to rely solely on labor to build railways. The only solution is to leave the non-dangerous jobs to the people as before, and use labor to fill in the dangerous jobs.

Therefore, the household department has become a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

The allocation of labor is managed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and large-scale calls on people to work on construction sites also have to go through the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The most important thing is that money will definitely be needed to build the railway, and it is impossible to bypass the Ministry of Household Affairs with money.

"The landlord's family doesn't have any food left."

Zhuang Chengyi touched the same few hairs and sighed: "The last money that the Ministry of Industry can use has been allocated to the Western Regions. Where can we find the money to build the railway? The only current solution is to either

Tax, or we have to find a way to get the money from other places."
