Chapter 222 Brother
"No, you heard me say that the magistrates of each state are here."
"You said that because the magistrates of each state have the power to supervise the governors and historians, some magistrates deliberately make things difficult for the governors and historians. The emperor issued an edict last year that Jinghu and Bashu must not make things difficult for the governors and historians for no reason, so that they can act cheaply and appease the local area. He also said that you don't want to be a magistrate in the future." Yu Ping said.
Song Jiu had a great dream, and Yuping was not happy about being a parent, so the two would inevitably separate. Maybe Pan Lian'er would follow him in the future, so could she leave Hezhou alone?
However, since Song Jiu heard about this, this idea gradually cancelled. How uncomfortable it was. Just like the Song army fought in the future, the commander was not as powerful as supervising the army and was constrained everywhere. Can this battle be fought well? Song Jiu said again: "Yes, in the spring, Chen Da, the governor of Shenzhou, made things difficult for the magistrate, especially the judge of Shenzhou, dared to make things difficult for him. In anger, he put the judge Wang Hao in a prison to vent his anger. But after calming down, he was afraid that the emperor would punish him.
He was privately storing weapons and preparing to escape to the Khitan. However, officials from Shenzhou, together with the magistrate and Wang Hao, were in a turmoil, and someone leaked the news to Wang Hao's family. Wang Hao's family came to Beijing to sue. After His Majesty sent the censor to investigate, Fad died, His Majesty was exempted from the loan and exiled to the island. Shenzhou was on the border of Khitan, and Chen Da was extremely familiar with the terrain. From Wang Hao's family coming to Beijing to sue the censor to investigate the verge, how long has it been? Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand that the border is strictly investigated, so Chen Da has no good time to escape to Khitan."
"That's right, he can't escape the Khitan. Besides, you can send you to the Khitan, so how can you come back? Can't you and I meet each other for the rest of our lives?"
"I don't know."
"That's it. I understand your mood. Your father is the only relative in the world. What does it have to do with the Khitan of the Song Dynasty? He will eventually be your father."
"Jiulang." Yu Ping leaned into Song Jiu's arms and sobbed quietly.
"But it's not impossible. There are two roads, both of which are very difficult. The first road is from the west, and the Fuzhou side goes around to the Khitan, but there are too many accidents on this road, so I won't feel at ease. There is another road. I took the time to submit a proposal that day to set up a supervisor in Mizhou and connect to HNA."
"Traveling to HNA?"
"There are Wu Yue and Mingzhou, Hangzhou, Fujian Quanzhou, and Southern Han and Guangzhou, but I don't have it. Every year, I have to take a detour to Wu Yue, and import it from Hangzhou. The journey is long and the cost is high. Why can't we set up a Maritime Warehouse Department in Mizhou?"
"That and his father..."
"With the Maritime Bureau, I can also manage a sea boat. I run to Goryeo. You are the shopkeeper of my family. It is always possible to go out for me occasionally. You can go to Goryeo. Why can't you go to Qingzhou along the coast? Get together with your father for a while, who knows where you are, and then return."
"Thank you Jiulang." Yuping jumped.
"Silly girl, please write a letter. I'll prepare some more gifts to bring to your father. He is also my father-in-law. He is the woman from the Ma family. Is she my mother-in-law?"
"That's all," Yuping whispered.
"Then let it go, you can write a letter on my behalf to say hello to them."
Yuping happily wrote a letter.
Song Jiu was thinking about his thoughts. No matter how history evolved, there would be a battle between Song and Liao. I don’t know what the outcome would be. If Yu Ping’s father was killed by the Song army on the battlefield, Yu Ping would be sad. If he was captured, it would be the best ending. Her stepmother and her family were separated from each other from now on, and Yu Ping would probably not consider it. If he retreated to Youzhou, the result would not be great. Unless Youzhou can be taken back, that is the best, but God knows what changes would happen in history? If he thinks of Youyun Sixteen State, it would be better for Zhao Da to continue living.
There are so many things to think about, so Song Jiu doesn't think about it.
A few days later, Song Jiu really wrote a book, but before the book was written, he brought a gift, which was five hundred monoculars. This was tested very early, and it was still a problem of precision. If it was a big one, it was not enough. It was necessary to correct the clarity and increase the distance. In terms of terms, it was magnification. In fact, it was impossible to see the naked eye. This ordinary monoculars would never be able to see it. However, good quality and high magnification can play a role in amplifying object farther away. For example, ten times, looking at a scene a hundred meters away is like seeing ten meters away. Song Jiu did not, but tested, and only four or five times. That is, looking at objects two miles away is equivalent to looking at the clarity of objects two hundred meters away. In other words, its maximum clarity is only four or five miles away.
But with it, it is completely different from without it.
Then Song Jiu wrote a letter and wrote several reasons. Nowadays, the country needs to import a large amount of sulfur from the flow ball every year, all of which are transferred from Wu and Yue. However, Wu and Yue are not really controlling the country in the Song Dynasty, but only vassal states. If there is a change, a series of bad consequences will be produced. From military to civilian use, there will be no gunpowder. If there are sea ships, for business purposes, they can spy on the virtual and real situations of Guangzhou in the Southern Han Dynasty. The third is for the future, some maritime troops, when attacking the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, threatened the rear of the Khitan from the sea, and could play a role in robbing troops. There has been a history that the reason why the Tang Dynasty conquered Goryeo was the battle between the water and the land and finally defeated the Goryeo army.
After the book was in, Zhao Kuangyin came over and asked, "If the Khitan came over from the sea, how could he find the terrain of our dynasty?"
Song Jiu replied calmly: "One sends people to pay attention to the people on the ship. Second, if the Goryeo merchants come over and limit their range of activities, even if they obtain the terrain of Mizhou, if the Khitan army attacks Mizhou, it seems that the entire Jingdong Peninsula will fall and the country will not be in power. At that time, what terrain is needed and what terrain will be allowed to see clearly."
Zhao Kuangyin thought about it and was a little moved, but there were still many difficulties in this issue. It was not difficult to set up a prison. Zhao Kuangyin looked at the map and saw that there was a good harbor. Usually, many fishermen went out to sea to fish and make a living, built a few houses, sent some officials to station, and then built a few small patrol boats. The Maritime Bureau was established, and the cost was not high. But the difficulty was that shipbuilding technology and ship sailing technology were different. The nature of sea boats and river boats was different. The Song Dynasty had no relevant drawings, so he had to ask Wu Yue for the technical skills to drive sea boats. He also asked Wu Yue to send someone to guide him. Wu Yue did not agree, and Song Jiu's proposal was feasible.
Song Jiu said again: "Your Majesty, this can also test Qian Chu's loyalty."
"He doesn't agree, he is also my loyal minister." Zhao Kuangyin shouted. He still hoped that Wu Yue would restrain the Southern Tang Dynasty for him, so how could he be angry about a sea boat?
Song Jiu had to wait. When he got home, he said to Yuping: "You and Cui'er usually have to take time to learn swimming in the swimming pool in the restaurant. There are risks at sea."
"good."
"Wait, too."
"I just met you. There is no hurry."
Even so, the danger will not be so great. Song Jiu also planned to prepare the original lifebuoy, that is, an airbag, and make a rough leather raft. It would be basically safe. But it will take a long time.
Song Jiu invited many literati. He had hired painters, some gold and silver craftsmen, and some others, and some paid their salaries to stay in the glass workshop. He also invited literati and asked them to compile lines from the fairy tale world in the playground.
However, the literati invited this time were different. They did not require any meaning of the scriptures, but they had to be good at writing poems and lyrics. More than thirty people were invited to come over and let them read the engraved version of Journey to the West. There were also some stories about Tang monks traveling to the Western Regions in the Five Dynasties, which were very rough. Song Jiu talked about Journey to the West, and it spread to the public and started raping in the tile. Song Jiu had no time to say it. Many people came to Song Jiu to finish the poem, and there was also the "authentic version". When it comes to Sun Wukong's big fuss in the Five Elements Village, this was what Song Jiu told Pan Lian'er. Pan Lian'er told her to her best friend and spread it from where her best friend was. Song Jiu also admitted that it was the authentic version, so someone carved it in the market.
Then he started to tell the story of the Legend of the White Snake. There were also some in the amusement park, but that was very short. This time, Song Jiu talked a lot, that is, he taught these people how to pour water. He was not afraid of being long, but he was afraid of not being long, but he had to twists and turns the plot, so that they could choose a few people with good imagination, and lengthen some novels from the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties. Then based on these long stories, they could change them into rap. There were also requirements, not to be afraid of being half-white and half-written, and it didn't matter at all. As he said that, he sang the theme song of Dream of Red Mansions for them to listen to. This was very vulgar and white, but the meaning was elegant. What he wanted was this effect. Of course, these literati would not have this level. Song Jiu sang it as an example. But you must not be vulgar and vulgar, especially some scenes of love and love must be written subtlely, and you cannot directly write about the kindness of me or something about going to bed and taking off clothes.
They were given basic salary and bonuses, and divided into six groups. If that group is done well, the reward will be generous, but the content of this script must be kept confidential. After more than two hours of negotiation, the contract was signed and each went back. Song Jiu began to instruct the Yanei to buy the population again. Most of them were women, and they also bought some pretty men. They would not be able to perform on stage at the same time. If male actors came on stage, they would be all male actors, and female actors would be all female actors on stage. In order to attract some female audiences, these people asked for appearances, good voices, and good singing as the main requirements for selecting people.
Teach them how to truly sing, and it is still the responsibility of the leaders, and it is not entirely in vain. But if they lead the way, don't use them to teach them again. After choosing a few managers to be responsible, Song Jiu did not ask about it. He is an amateur in the current music.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed, and the shop auction was announced. The high and low, the low and the good location was extremely high, and the bad location was so low that it was painful. In fact, some people offered a good offer, but they always stared at the shops in good locations, and even missed the opportunity. Including the elder sister, she also went to the auction according to the wait. She did not offer the first two classes and asked others to grab it. She only robbed the third class. The annual rent was 120 yuan and taxed, which made her feel uneasy and unaccustomed. In general, it was not ideal, and the total rental price was not enough for 50,000 yuan a year. It seemed that the principal was recovered in more than four years, but the actual average price was low. What is this location? Such a large store, the annual rent was only 100 yuan, less than 10,000 yuan. Even Song Jiu was surprised, but it was still as low as he expected.
This will only reflect its true value after three years. At that time, the auction price would be twice and three times that of now!
Song Jiu was a little dissatisfied. On the third day, he went to Liu Wensou to impeach him, saying that he placed the brothel in the future academy and would affect students' learning. Song Jiu refuted: "If you talk about brothels, there are brothels near the Imperial Academy. They are just ordinary brothels, and during the study time, if you can't even stand this temptation, how can you be a officials in the court in the future?"
Zhao Kuangyin did not make any noise.
Song Jiu reported the second thing again: "Your Majesty, the steel shaft can be put into production."
After two years of hard work, energy production was barely achieved Song Jiu's quality requirements and production costs. The court spent a lot of money, and Song Jiu went to provide guidance from time to time, and softly posted more than two thousand pieces of money. Otherwise, the craftsmen would not have the enthusiasm.
But its significance was extraordinary, and it quickly diverted Liu Wensou's attention. After thinking about it, forget it, and not impeach it, so let him do it. However, a few days later, Song Jiu submitted another memorial, one asking the court to cooperate in mining alum iron clay. After more than two months of repeated experiments, Song Jiu determined two clays. Finally, he had to make a comparison and even look for new alum iron clay, but now it is mainly based on experiments.
Then Song Jiuhui took out 50,000 yuan to invest in the experiment.
In fact, the experiment requires good hydraulic resources. The best place to place the water wheel in the Sanmen Ghost Gate, but it is too far away, and the remaining Yellow River is not good. Either the river bank is too wide, the water flow is calm, or the water level is large.
There are also some good places, but they are all far away from the capital, which is very inconvenient, so they are still crowded with the steel supervisor.
When Zhao Kuangyin saw the memorial, he called Song Jiu to the palace and asked curiously: "What kind of experiment will cost 50,000 yuan?"
Song Jiu smiled bitterly: "Weichen is a cocoon. If we use cement in large quantities, we will have many problems when we think of it. Now this cement has too strong limitations and we need to re-test. The 50,000 pieces are only the early construction and testing costs. There will be more in the future, and I don't know how much it will cost."
"It's too expensive. If it's not worth much, it's not worth it." Zhao Kuangyin said solemnly. This is not a small number.
"It's very useful, and even with this kind of cement that is not afraid of hot and cold, a stronger city defense fort can be built in the north."
The real reason Song Jiu will never tell the truth.
Zhao Kuangyin pondered.
Song Jiu also said: "Your Majesty, the process of experimentation is the process of learning, which can cultivate more excellent students and craftsmen for the country. Moreover, no matter whether it succeeds or not, the money of the court is not changed, and no one is afraid of opposition."
"I'll be sure. I'll say one more thing. Your wedding is about to be done. Do you want Pan Mei to return to Beijing to recuperate your job?"
"I have this idea."
"I agree, and I will give you an unexpected surprise at that time."
"Your Majesty, I don't want to be promoted."
Zhao Kuangyin said bitterly: "It's not about promotion, but about some of your acquaintances in Hunan."
"Guing of Qin?" Song Jiu said in surprise.
"I issued an edict to ask him and some other barbarians who like you to come to Beijing to meet with General Pan."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
However, Zhao Kuangyin's move had a strong political intention. Although Qin Zaixiong led Chenzhou and controlled Xi, Chen, Jin, Prize and Xuzhou from afar, he only had part of the control over the other states and could not really convince all the barbarians. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin borrowed some Xidong chiefs to enter the court and appointed Xizhou regimen envoy Peng Yunzu as the commander of Puzhou, the commander of the rebel army Peng Yunxian as the commander of Weizhou, and the commander of Zhenzhou Tian Sixiao as the commander of Bozhou. He transferred these three dissatisfied chiefs to the mainland as officials. I did not abuse you and was promoted to the mainland. But in the mainland, do you think you are convinced? This time, letting several chiefs come to Beijing to meet and congratulate him on the way, which is also an opportunity to win over the hearts of the people.
However, Song Jiu was still very grateful. No matter what, Qin Zaixing is his old brother. Once you have a brother in this era, you will be a real brother. If you can come to the capital to congratulate your wedding, Song Jiu was naturally very happy and said, "I thanked Your Majesty."
"You don't have to thank me. I give you a gift, and the other is for the Song Dynasty. I ask you, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, did you go with Dezhao?"
