Chapter 90: Playing Big Again
Many people feel helpless about Song Jiu's laziness, and think that Song Jiu is selfish, but they can't hate him. In fact, it's a generation gap that is a thousand years behind. Song Jiu has a true nature and is not that bad. As a person who grew up in a peaceful era, he liked to travel around in his previous life and paid attention to food and drink. In this life, he carried a heavy burden of historical mission. Can he succeed?
When he was so hard in Hunan, he was still feeling out of his mood to see how green the mountains and how blue the water were. What kind of mission was about, wouldn’t it take his life? But people are not evil. Being a friend is an enthusiastic friend, being a relative is also a relative who cares about his family, and being a teacher is also a responsible teacher. At this time, seeing students care about themselves is like parents who see their children being sensible, especially moved and particularly fulfilled.
Song Jiu said again: "What about illusion? It's not your concern now. Most of you will leave the bookstore in a few months, but it doesn't matter. In the future, this bookstore will always open the door to you. If you have time, I will edit the lecture notes into a book. If you have time, you can continue to study, and come here to ask for it."
"Okay," the students slammed their hands together.
"Let's give a lecture," Song Jiu posted more than a dozen questions on the blackboard for everyone to do, and used this to test how much students learned by themselves.
It disappointed him a little. Except for a few smart students, other students did not make it very fast. There is a person who understands teaching and completely self-study, even if these students cannot be considered children. This is from Class B, and Class A is also not very good.
Song Jiu scratched his ears and faces. Do you really want to extend the students' graduation time again?
Before he could find a way, he first made a room next to his bedroom and opened a bed for Qingyi. Cui'er looked at Qingyi with beautiful eyes and asked like a curious baby. Song Jiu told him about his origin. Even Yuping was moved and asked, "Are you Han Xizai's servant?"
Han Xizai is so famous that he is well-known in the capital, and Yu Ping can be regarded as his fan.
Qingyi nodded shyly.
"Can you tell me about him?"
Qingyi opened her mouth and looked at Song Jiu. Yuping reacted and came to Song Jiu and whispered: "Jiulang is also talented, and those songs Linjiangxian made me admire him very much."
"Yu Ping, don't praise me, Qingyi, it's okay. Just tell him about the deeds of Mr. Han."
Song Jiu walked out and took advantage of the get out of class to ask Li Zhu and the others about Hezhou. It was not over. The project was too large. The silt was dug up from the Bian River. It was difficult to carry it, and it was difficult to carry it, which affected the progress. Although the villagers worked very hard and came up with some fast methods, it has not ended until now. It seems that it will take at least one month, so I can only say that the big picture has come out. The glass was also burned out, but according to what the students said, it was still not ideal.
Song Jiu was a little confused. He couldn't say that the sand burned out glass. That was too tangled. The sand must be quartz sand. Nanpeng sand, Beipeng sand, as long as quartz sand can be used. Quartz stone is not difficult to find. People found a large feldspar mine in Zibozhou for a long time, and it was used as a traditional Chinese medicine. If you are interested in finding it, you can find many feldspar mines in other places, which is also not difficult. Furthermore, it is natural alkali, which reacts with lime during the firing process, which can replace soda ash, and finally borax, because there is natural alkali inside, which will also react and replace boric acid. Of course, there are differences in raw materials, and some unexpected changes will occur, which can be coordinated through proportions. This is the one that repeatedly tests.
It should be said that it is the most scientific formula for glass burning materials in the world. It even built a small pot kiln that can gather temperatures. From the imperial court, some coke that produces high temperatures are needed. Magnets are used to absorb residual metal particles. In addition to being miniaturized, it is even more backward. All aspects are not much different from a small glass factory he visited in his previous life.
Why hasn't there been much progress yet?
I can only wait for the time being after school to see it myself.
There are more than so many things. The wages on Hezhou have to be settled, the Qijie's family is going to go, and the eldest sister has found a problem for herself. She also has to go to Zhao Kuangyi where to report, ask about the situation of the steel supervisor, and ask when to arrange the matters between the bridge and the wharf. In the end, there is one of the most important things, that is money!
Then I tested the subject matter and accounting, but the students didn't learn very well.
But if Song Jiu can know the progress of the students, he can decide where to teach, learn from strengths and weaknesses, move back after learning well, and ask them questions first if they don’t learn well, and it takes at least four or five days to barely level the progress of the students in the two classes.
After school, the weather was clear, and Dr. Yan and Dr. Zhang brought a group of students to the river bank to teach the people.
After the enthusiasm, fewer and fewer people came to watch, and there were hundreds of people, most of them tourists from other places and people on the boat. This was the most satisfying thing about Zhao Kuangyin, which was called emphasis on education. However, fewer people were learning, the country gradually stabilized, the docks were getting busier, and Hezhou used thousands of labor, so only nearly a thousand people were studying, and half were still children. But it was not bad. A few months later, Song Jiu recruited students, and these students were at least the first grade level of elementary school, some were smart, and could be as good as the second grade of elementary school. Then it was easy to teach. What made him most interested was that some people began to use Arabic numerals to record accounts.
This process will be very slow, but at a certain time, quantitative change will lead to qualitative change.
Song Jiu took twenty-one students to Hezhou.
Three old craftsmen took out the glass, and several students took out the experimental records. Song Jiu looked at the glass first. It was a little green and not too obvious. Only by putting it in the sunlight can you see a little. If you don’t pay attention, you can’t see it. It means that the content of impurities and metals in it is not much. This can be improved.
It is just opaque and chaotic. There is also a sulfur glass bowl transported by Dashi in the laboratory, which cost Song 94 jin of money. Dashi glass products are not standardized. Some are very similar to later glass products, transparent and shiny, and that one will be priceless. Some are also chaotic and blurry, with severe chaotic green. That one is valuable, but the price is not high. A slightly smaller glass bowl can only be worth a few hundred cents. This is from across the ocean, and it will be even cheaper in the local area. This shows that Western industry is as unstandard as the Song Dynasty at this time. There are also those in the Song Dynasty, which are not durable. Some are directly said to be true glass, opaque, and glaze luster. Although the glass bowl Song Jiu used as the sample is not the top one among Dashi glass, it is also considered high-end.
The glass that I burned at home is several grades different from it, but fortunately it is different from the glass made by Song, and it will not break as soon as it is heated. And after testing, as long as it does not cause excessive heat to cause excessive heat expansion and contraction, its heat resistance is even greater than that of Dashi Glazing.
An old craftsman said, "Jiulang, there is still a lack of Nanpeng sand."
"Old Li, don't talk about Nanpeng sand," Song Jiu looked through the records again. The test was very detailed. Not only did he test various proportions, but he also tested materials from various places. After thinking about it, there was only one reason, it was really a headache. Can you remember so many things, such as the reaction between natural alkali and borax? If you have to make boric acid powder, that would be a big problem. He grabbed the head, took a pen, drew a few utensils, and a few tubes, marked the size for three craftsmen to blow it. He also brought sulfur and saltpeter to let the students buy some other things. This was the first experiment, and there was a second experiment. With these two experiments, you would have to be busy for at least a few months.
He also instructed the three craftsmen not to test the ratio, continue to test various temperatures and materials from different origins, and remove borax. After doing these, Song Jiu rubbed his head again. Who said it was easy? If he accidentally got too big again.
Then I walked out of the house. The court was very realistic. The research and development of gunpowder was transferred to gunpowder. Steel debugging was in the steel supervision. The soldiers guarding the gate also left. My elder sister came in whenever she wanted. Song Jiu was speechless. In fact, in the future, there would be many things involved in the development of Hezhou in the future, such as the things that Song Jiu wanted to test, boric acid. It was used to turn it into boric acid water, which can be used for the skin. With it, it can treat many rashes and dermatitis, which is not the main thing. Now the quality of the weapons used in the battlefield of cold weapons is very poor, with a lot of rust. Some soldiers often die because of it after being injured. If there is boric acid water, and then highly distilled liquor, many soldiers can be rescued from the brink of death every year.
But because Song Jiu was not very responsible, he thought of creating it and only thought of its function.
I wonder if Zhao Kuangyin will be nervous again then?
When they arrived at the construction site, the villagers had not returned yet and were working everywhere. The big appearance was higher than he thought. They were nearly three meters higher, and the entire height was more than half a meter higher than the south Bianshui River embankment. This height was an absolute safe height. If water could be poured in, the capital would become a vast ocean. However, before the project was over, the grooves that the imperial court was responsible for were dug out very early. The Bianshui was dredged, and the grooves were very deep, and some ships were moored. The ditches that Song Jiu himself was responsible for were also dug, and all the tips of the rivers were removed, and several artificial small lakes were at the same time.
It was dug, but there were mud piles of uneven heights everywhere, not completely flat. The pipelines were paved. This was an amazing project. It was built half of the embankment before the Nanbian River, allowing the water to flow away from the other half, drain the water in the embankment, drain the pipes, and then build the other half of the embankment, leading to a large pool of low-lying swamp land more than two miles away on the south bank. In order to prevent rainwater from entering, a long shed had to be built. It took a lot of money, and the people on the south bank believed and doubted it. It was really done. In the future, there would be sufficient farm fertilizer, watering vegetables, planting crops, and growing fruit trees and mulberry trees, but whether it could be done was not enough.
When Boss Hu saw Song Jiu coming, he excitedly met him and said, "Xiao Jiu, you are finally back."
"Well, I've been bothering you in the past few months."
"What are you talking about? How about going south?"
"fine."
"Xiaojiu, you are a capable man in our river."
"Where, Hu Xingtou, there will be many people coming out of the river in the future."
"Xiaojiu, I want to study too. You ask me to study, but I can't continue."
"If you can't continue reading, don't read it. Just read a few words. You told the villagers that I will pay the remaining wages in a few days."
"Needless to say, the villagers are relieved."
"Hu Xingtou, there is another thing you can tell me. My elder sister created a Ping An Club, and she was fooled. I asked her to disband. You also inform everyone of me. That is a way to deceive people."
"I have heard of that Peace Society. Xiaojiu doesn't matter. He also needs to burn incense anyway. Worshiping gods is not a bad thing."
"You don't need to form a society when worshiping gods."
"Okay, I'll take time to notify the villagers in the future." Boss Hu obviously didn't take it seriously.
Song Jiu chatted again. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he asked Boss Hu to ask everyone to go back and rest. He was also preparing to go to Sister Qi's house to take a look. Just as he was about to walk back, a yellow gate came over and said to Song Jiu: "Chengshilang, Your Majesty summons you to the palace."
"It's so late."
"It is your honor to call you, your Majesty, what's the time?"
