===========
"Digging the ancestral grave?" All twenty students opened their mouths wide.
"Yes, how dare I dig up other people's ancestral graves? Maybe if you touch a shovel of soil, they will fight me to the death. It's better for the second king to do this."
"Will the two kings agree?"
"Let's go, let you see it, and let you see more big occasions so that you can educate students with a demeanor."
Song Jiu picked up the two paintings and walked towards Kaifeng Prefecture with twenty students. The twenty students walked with strange smiles on their faces. They went home to discuss with their families last night. Yesterday, Song Jiu didn't say anything, but Song Jiu said that he was conscience, and staying would not be in vain. It will be a year at the end of March next year. They should not learn and do not expect much high returns. But there is a standard, that is, Zhu San's.
Five stakes a month. There is no expectation for five stakes a month. After all, they are the real candidates who pass the Examination Examination. The Later Zhou Dynasty did not count. There were only 63 Jinshis in the Song Dynasty and there were also various subjects. However, the difficulty of all subjects was not mentioned, and the future was not great. It would be better to study in the bookstore for a few more years, so that the court would pay more attention to it. There were not many candidates, and there were only about two thousand people in the country. But that was a weather vane, at least one monthly salary was three or four coins. It was enough to support the family.
I never expected that there was a thirty-two shit money, and the upper limit was three times!
I was so satisfied with this contract, but I heard that I was digging the ancestral graves and asked the two kings to dig the ancestral graves. This was a bit strange, so strange smiles appeared on my faces.
When he arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, Song Jiu was considered a small official, and the yamen runners dared not neglect and went in to report.
Zhao Kuangyi also had something to look for Song Jiu, but he couldn't call him from time to time. In that way, this kid would definitely put a tree on his face and deliver it to the door, just in time for Song Jiu to come in.
Song Jiu bowed to the students, and Zhao Kuangyi asked: "What's wrong with you?"
"There are two things to bother the two kings."
"explain."
"The first thing is to make a contract, and ask the two kings to prove it."
"I also need to prove it if I make a contract?"
"Two kings, I heard that Your Majesty talked to me about the great world. Zhao Gaogong said that the world is great and the most reasonable, and he was deeply convinced by Your Majesty. But what is the most important thing in the world?"
"What is the most important?" Song Jiu's status was low, and Zhao Kuangyi didn't guess. If the important minister asked this, Zhao Kuangyi would definitely answer, the people, the system, the country, the civilized rule, or anything else.
"The most important thing about the two kings is talent. With talent, everything is available." Song Jiu handed over the contract.
Zhao Kuangyi opened it and said, "Song Jiu, you are so selfish. You actually want to take the twenty best students for yourself."
Song Jiu shook his head in his heart. It seems that he can't believe all the fiction novels. Those time travelers are so awesome. Emperors, generals and ministers worship each one at their feet. That's so easy. Look at the Emperor Taizong of Song, whose IQ is at least twice his own. But if you say something, Song Jiu has selfish intentions, and you can't say it's not completely reasonable. As for the talent I trained, don't say it. If you say it, you are asking for scolding and say: "The two kings are not. If you issue an edict to slaughter the hens in the world together, what will happen? It's not fast for a year.
It's not that fast, now in early June, there is still September, and the year is coming. I have made a promise that after a year, these students will let go, the excellent ones will be selected by the court, and the rest will also enter various merchants to do accounting or manage their affairs, but what can they learn in a year? I am still learning, and they? Many people ask for an expansion of enrollment and say that they will invest in the school, but the accounting of the matter is taught by the only one person, so how can they teach? Although they stay, they can cultivate more talents for the country. How can they say that they have selfish intentions?"
Zhao Kuangyi didn't know that he might be right, but selfishness is the key. This kid has this kind of virtue, otherwise the elder brother would have used it long ago and he would still be selfless?
Looking at the contract again, it was indeed a contract that he was so old that Kaifeng Prefecture was a witness: "Song Jiu, what ability do you have to pay so many students a month of 32 yuan? Besides, the compensation for one million yuan is even more bizarre than that!”
"Two Kings, if you can't afford this salary, how can you pay the future money?" In front of the students and the yamen runners, it's hard to make a bet.
"Can you really build that bridge?" Zhao Kuangyi obviously didn't want to continue talking, so he asked what he was most concerned about.
"Yes, but when it comes to bridges, I want to make a request to the two kings, whether to allocate 400,000 kilograms of iron to me a year." So many buildings must use steel, which is very common in terms of kilograms, but not many in terms of tons, and only about 200 tons. However, there seems to be not many iron ore in the Song Dynasty. If the court does not cooperate, it will be a bit difficult to deal with.
"Forty-hundred thousand kilograms of iron, what a big tone, do you know how much iron can I produce in a year?"
"How can I know the two kings?"
"Last year, the imperial court produced less than 2 million kilograms. What qualifications do you have to get 400,000 kilograms!"
"No," Song Jiu fainted. He had read a fictional novel, saying that in the Song Dynasty, he really couldn't think of how to pave the railway in the Song Dynasty. Although he was familiar with engineering, a Beijing-Shanghai railway used steel to reach 5 million tons. Not to mention several railways, nearly 600 grams per kilogram per kilogram, but that was also an amazing data, 850 million Song kilograms of steel. How was this railway built?
Zhao Kuangyi looked at his ignorant appearance. If he had not seen his student here, he would have gone down and kicked Song Jiu several times.
Song Jiu said again: "It's not impossible. The second king, can you allow me to visit a certain iron pit?"
"Can you dig iron?"
"I can't mine, but maybe I can come up with a good idea."
"What method?" Zhao Kuangyi's spirit was immediately concentrated. Iron cannot be widely used in buildings nowadays, with no concrete or welding, but it is also widely used. First of all, it is armor and weapons. A set of armor weighs about fifty kilograms, but this iron must be repeatedly beaten, and the actual loss of iron can reach more than 100 kilograms. This is military, as well as folk utensils, agricultural tools, kitchen utensils, and equipment, as small as a nail. Two million kilograms of iron are only more than 1,000 tons, which is not enough in the Song Dynasty. On the grassland, two or three iron pots can be exchanged for a cattle and sheep. The Song Dynasty iron is also very expensive, one kilogram can cost thirty cents, and it can be exchanged for a bucket of high-quality rice!
Can it not matter?
"I don't know, I have to read it before I can try to think about it."
"If you have a way to increase the iron production of our heads, I can make a guarantee to you that the emperor will add you a first-level dispersed official."
"The Second King, there is not much difference between the eighth-rank scattered officials and the ninth-rank scattered officials. I just want the court to provide priority for 400,000 kilograms a year, even if it is 300,000 kilograms of iron, otherwise I will have no choice in Hezhou."
"Okay, but this must be increased by more than one million kilograms."
"The second king, one million pounds."
“No loss, no craftsman cost?”
"I didn't want it either, I was buying it..." Song Jiu didn't want to say it anymore. Fortunately, Zhao Kuangyi was not a businessman, otherwise he would have been a big profiteer.
"Will that bridge use a lot of iron?" Zhao Kuangyi was a little confused. There were many bridges in the Song Dynasty, stone bridges, wooden bridges, and even small earth bridges, but what does it have to do with iron?
"It is necessary to use a lot of iron, not only iron, but also tempered... There are many technical problems to be studied in the middle."
"Material Arts?"
"It is it, but there are other places where iron is used, so I asked the court to provide a large amount of iron for me. As for the bridge, it can be built, and even in the future, this kind of high-bridge hole flying bridge will be widely modified on the Bian River, which is conducive to navigation. However, everything is the most difficult at the beginning. Once the construction is carried out, I must ask the court to provide some craftsmen and other support. Once the Shuanghong Bridge is built, I will give all the technology to the court. Of course, the court can send officials to come and craftsmen to learn during construction."
"It will cost a lot of money," Zhao Kuangyi looked at the contract in his hand again. There were only twenty students. If he wanted to support him in the future, Song Jiu would have to pay at least nearly ten thousand yuan a year. How did this money be made? I can't understand!
"Yes, it is just a drop in the ocean on the river bank, and there are more places to spend money, but these money ministers have their own ways to solve it. Please make a notarization of this contract."
"Okay, what else is there?"
The students listened to it inexplicably. Song Jiu was hanging the painting. Most people thought it was a painting. When they saw someone looking at it for a while, some people didn't. It didn't spread any of them. The news in the river was blocked, and twenty students didn't hear it, so they couldn't understand what the two were saying. But when Zhao Kuangyi asked the second thing, the students cheered up. Mr. Jiu was so awesome. If you want to ask the second king to dig out other people's ancestral graves, can you not care?
"The Second King, it's not easy to pay that agreement smoothly."
"If you don't have any chance, you will be miserable. That's the crime of deceiving the king."
"Yes, but the two kings can achieve it, which is a miracle, especially if the minister wants money but no money, no status."
"You just want to drag Fu Panhan and his husband into the water?"
Song Jiu sighed long.
"What are you sighing?"
"I heard from the people in the river that Your Majesty is the fortune of heaven, and where is the fortune of heaven? This is wisdom. Your Majesty and the Two Kings are hundreds and thousands of times that of ordinary people. Your Majesty has become the king of the world. The Two Kings are so talented, but it is too difficult to deal with the Two Kings. Before he can do it, the Two Kings can see through it at a glance."
"Don't flatter me, you kid, and I don't object to you to do this. Anyway, they are doing nothing all day long. Taking them to do something will make the capital peaceful, as long as you don't do too much." Zhao Kuangyi said seriously, but he felt more happy when he heard this...
"No, maybe their family will thank the ministers in a few years. The two kings still say that they are serious. Once realized, they will not only set an example for the court and increase part of the court's income, but also have a deeper significance and broaden everyone's thinking. In addition to some luxury goods, I will hand them over to the court one by one."
“What luxury goods?”
"It's an idea. It has not been developed yet. I can't say that I dare not deceive the king or the second king."
"You...! It's really hateful!"
"You can't say it even if you are hateful. A gentleman's words are as good as a horse, and he cannot say anything randomly."
"Are you a gentleman?"
"It's not a gentleman, is it not a virtue to keep your word?"
Zhao Kuangyi was speechless. No wonder Zhao Pu did not allow him to enter the official career. If this kid entered the official career, there would be a good show in the court.
"But the court needs to continue to cooperate."
"impossible."
"Why is it impossible? For example, if you need craftsmen to help build bridges, if you dig the Bian River in Qing Dynasty, you can't the court do it without considering the interests of your ministers?"
"Dig the Bian River in Qing?"
