Chapter 1,176 Goodbye Sima

This year's financial pilot project is to reduce the inventory of part of the sealed pile warehouse, sell the silk inside, and deposit the copper coins into the Huangsong Bank, and then allocate special funds to the Shaanxi Road Transfer Department.

After the Shaanxi Road Transfer Department received the bill, it settled with the Shaanxi Road Branch of Huangsong Bank and transferred the money to the account of the Transfer Department, which was supervised by the Shaanxi Branch and earmarked for the purpose.

By increasing the base of three million coins for this winter's auction, the scale of the auction can be expanded by one-third.

The first one-third of this expansion will be used as the first step for the Song Dynasty to purchase horses, healthy mules, cattle and sheep from Langdu Racecourse. This part of the funds will be paid for by Shangzhou Zhou case with metal products.

Used by Wang Hou, Li Wenzhao and Yu Zang in the flower and hemp trade in the Erlin tribe and other tribes in the Qing and Tang Dynasties.

The principle of financial leverage is already involved here. The foundation of three million yuan has brought several overall benefits, which is not cheap.

In other words, Su You used such measures to get the money from Bianjing to Shaanxi for use. In just one month, he earned Zhao Xu back millions of dollars in the market.

No matter how talented Shen Kuo is, he can't do these things, but he is the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Road Transport, which is equivalent to getting a piece of credit in vain.

Among the things sold to the Tibetan people, in addition to enamel and metal utensils from Shangzhou; wool products and dairy products from Minzhou and Langdu; and deep-processed grain products from Xingluocang also accounted for a very large proportion of the traded items.

Refined flour and machine-made noodles were brought to Xixia by the Tibetan people, allowing Xixia dignitaries to eat exquisite pastries, breads, cakes, noodles...

With the large amount of tin materials from the South China Sea, the demand for tin-plated iron sheets in the Song Dynasty suddenly exploded.

Tin-plated iron sheets can be made into various metal containers and jars, which are used to transport tea, spices, sauces, and make various cans.

Because compared to clay pots, tin-plated iron cans are better sealed and less fragile, so they immediately became popular from the South China Sea to Zhejiang and Zhejiang.

This thing was originally invented by Shen Kuo, the engineer. He also discovered an advantage. Tin-plated iron sheets can be used to seal the shell of flour-making machinery, which greatly reduces the weight of the machine and facilitates disassembly. The sealing performance is better than that of wooden shells.

Many times higher.

This can increase the air flow, install more air sieves and flour cleaners, and obtain higher quality flour.

This machinery, combined with the third-generation high-pressure steam engine, directly improved Da Song's flour quality and production capacity by an order of magnitude.

Shen Kuo installed five flour machines in the Luokou Cang Flour Factory. Each machine can produce 50 shi of flour per day, which is 250 shi per day. If converted into science and engineering weights and measures, the daily processing capacity exceeds ten tons.

In later generations, those with a daily processing capacity of less than 300 tons of wheat were called small flour mills, but in the Song Dynasty, this was an unprecedented achievement.

A large kiln in Xingluocang can store 500,000 kilograms of grain, which is 5,000 shi. The Xingluo Flour Mill can empty a kiln of wheat in twenty days and turn them into various grades of flour and bran.

Skin.

More importantly, with high-pressure steam equipment, flour can be turned into fragrant fried noodles, and compressed biscuits and other quick dry food for the march can be produced.

Refined flour also has an important attribute, that is, it can be mixed with mycolin, penicillin, and astragalus to make tablets with stable active ingredients.

Medicines were more profitable than weapons, and consumed a large portion of Xixia products in the Song-Xia trade.

Su You had no doubts about Shen Kuo's ability to climb the technology tree. After reviewing Xingluo Cang, Su You went up the Luoshui River to Luoyang.

The Luoshui River in winter is clear and green, completely inferior to the Yellow River across Beimang.

To go to Luoyang, you have to pass through Yanshi, and now important ruins have been discovered there.

"Historical Records: Biography of Sun Tzu Wu Qi": "The residence of Xia Jie is located on the left side of the river and on the right side of Taihua, Yique is in the south, and Yangchang is in the north." This is the area mentioned.

"Historical Records·Xia Benji" says: "Taikang lived there and poured wine, Yi also lived there, and Jie also lived there."

Yi is Hou Yi, a leader of the Yi tribe in the East. He took advantage of Taikang's lack of justice and made the Xia people resentful.

When Taikang died, Fuzhongkang, a Xia man, ascended the throne and still lived in Zhenwei.

Therefore, "Kuo Di Zhi" says: "The city of Lu is located fifty-eight miles southwest of Gong County, Luozhou, where Gai Jie lives."

This place is just east of Luoyang City. Sima Guang has less time to sleep. The work of Zizhi Tongjian will continue. Not to mention the continuous discovery of a Shang capital and two Xia capitals, a Shang capital was also discovered here. There is a lot of potential.

Maybe it’s Shang Tang’s Xibo!

Sima Junshi felt that he had become the happiest historian in history. Now he really admired Su Mingrun. After using science and engineering to introduce historical research and ancient antiquity, it actually triggered a blowout of textual research in Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.

style explosion.

According to the oracle bone records compiled by Han Chunyan at the Yin Ruins in Anyang, the chronology of the Shang king's lineage recorded in Sima Qian's "Historical Records" has been confirmed!

There is a large ship with a black shed parked at Yanshi Pier, but the hull format is a schooner keel structure, Meishan type.

The man who came to pick up Sima Guang could not run away, so Su You ordered the boatman to pull the boat over.

A young man was on the pier directing the boxes to be loaded onto the ship. When he saw Su You standing at the bow of the ship, he handed over his hands.

Su You was also happy to see him: "I guess this is your ship, as expected! Brother Chunfu, are you okay?"

The man on the dock was none other than Fan Zhen's son and Sima Guang's disciple Fan Zuyu.

When Sima Guang's Luoyang Garden was completed, Fan Zhen took Fan Zuyu, Shao Yong took Shao Bowen to attend, and Su You also met.

Then Fan Zuyu followed Sima Guang to study Zizhi Tongjian, and even after passing the Jinshi examination, he did not go to the post; while Shao Bowen, after becoming a Jinshi in high school, went to Japan and Korea as an envoy.

Shao Bowen was also half a disciple of Sima Guang before, and Su You also knew Sima Guang's sect very well.

After getting off the boat, Su You held up his hands to Fan Zuyu and said, "Brother Fan Shi, it's been a long time since we last met."

Fan Zuyu raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you are welcome."

Su You asked: "Where is Mr. Sima?"

Fan Zuyu said: "I was still collecting classics in the city. This matter happened in a hurry. The teacher said it was all my fault that you reported it to His Majesty in advance, and he was still in a hurry."

After that, he said again: "The teacher is old and has difficulty walking on horseback, so he asked the cultural relics to accompany the carriage, and I served him on the boat."

Su You laughed loudly: "It's better to be alone than to be happy together. Mr. Sima has stayed in the Paradise for too long. It's good to come out and take a breath."

"Okay, why are you wasting my time..." An old voice sounded from behind.

Su You turned around and saw the visitor, and was shocked: "Oh, Bachelor Junshi, how come you have aged so much after not seeing each other for several years?"

Sima Guang's appearance has become much older, but his eyes are brighter than before: "Isn't it all the things you brought for me? Isn't it your recommendation to promote the Shang and Zhou Dynasty Writing Examination and Yi Bureau, Mingrun?"

Su You cupped his hands and made a long bow: "Bachelor, please stop being pretentious. I'm afraid that if you recommend someone else, you will go to Bianjing to find trouble for me."

Sima Guang grabbed Su You and said, "There happens to be something important that I want to discuss with you Mingrun."

Seeing Sima Guang's serious expression, Su You quickly asked, "What's the big deal?"

Sima Guang said: "According to historical records, Zhengzhou is where Zhong Ding moved his capital. Now that Xibo Tangdu is here, is this also evidence?"

"The capital of Yin is after Xibo. Just because the word 'Bo' is found on the oracle bones in Zhengzhou, we can't assume that it is Xibo, right? The oracle bones are records of the country's major accounting events. They must be brought with them when moving the capital. Those oracle bones

, it’s entirely possible that it was brought there from here!”

After speaking, he looked at Su You expectantly, hoping that his views would be supported by Su You.

Su You breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be this "big event", and couldn't help but smile: "According to the school of science and engineering, unconfirmed opinions are just guesses and assumptions. Only after confirmation can they be the truth."

"Because the word 'Bo' was found on the oracle bones in Zhengzhou, it was determined that it was the Bo of Shang Tang Dynasty. This really allowed the scholars to question it and believed that it was inconsistent with the records in the classics. It is also possible that the oracle bones were taken away during the transfer of the capital.

The situation when arriving in Yundu."

"But for the same reason, there are currently no cultural relics that can confirm the bachelor's point of view. Although I am also inclined to the bachelor's theory in my heart, if we kill it, it will be Yindu, and others can also raise arguments to question it."

"We can only say that based on the classics, we have inferred the old site of Yingdu, and a huge Shangdu ruins were excavated there. However, as for whether that site is Yingdu, it cannot be proven at present, and it can only be determined by important research.
