"Today is the day when the Ordnance Supervision is officially established. With just these three words, you will know the heavy responsibility on your shoulders."

"You must build the Song Dynasty's defense line into the Great Wall of Steel! You must build our army into a mighty army of steel! You must build our crossbows into heavy armor at a distance of a hundred steps! You must build our fortress into a great one.

, to make every attacker despair! The navy must be able to isolate the rivers and seas, and the cavalry chariots must be able to fly hundreds of miles!"

"Let our soldiers be well-fed, clothed warmly, run fast, and win the battle! Let the enemy's army turn into powder before our weapons! Let the enemy's city be under our attack

, disappear into ashes! Let the enemy’s ships, in front of our navy, be like turtle doves meeting eagles and owls, like hares meeting jackals!”

After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the west: "In Zhengzhou, one hundred and sixty miles away, the base is taking shape, and the conditions are still very difficult."

"I feel sorry for asking everyone to stay away from the bustling Bianjing City, to leave the comfortable and comfortable job, and to devote themselves to the intense, mechanical, complicated, and hard work of study and production for the next few decades."

"Among you, there are Jinshi from Huaxuan, some with wise calculations, some old men from the Chamber of Commerce, and some technicians from workshops. They come from different backgrounds and come from all walks of life."

"But being able to stand here already shows that you are all elites who can stand alone and have special expertise."

"I can't guarantee you fame and future, let alone high-ranking officials and generous salaries. I can only guarantee that your names will be remembered forever by thousands of descendants of China in the future; your great achievements will herald China's return to strength.

the horn; your meritorious deeds will shine on this world forever!"

"From now on, wherever the military flag of the Song Dynasty is planted, your honor will be there!"

"This is the way we want to prove!"

The crowd was excited, waving and dancing: "Dare to die for the Emperor Song!"

…

Within Zhengzhou, there are Songshan Mountain and Jishan Mountain.

At the foot of Songshan Mountain, there is an academy with great influence, Songyang Academy.

There were originally three ancient cypresses in the academy. In the sixth year of Yuanfeng Period in the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che saw tall and lush cypress trees when he visited Songyue Mountain, so he named them "Great General", "Second General" and "Third General".

The body of the General Cypress tree is reclining, its crown is dense and wide, like a big umbrella covering the clear sky.

There is a hole connecting the north and south at the lower part of the trunk of the Second General Cypress tree, which is like a doorway. Five or six people can be accommodated in the tree hole. Two huge branches are curved like wings, stretching left and right, like an eagle spreading its wings and a golden rooster about to fly.

The third general cypress is smaller than the previous two generals, but has the most branches and leaves and is the most luxuriant.

Whenever the mountain wind blows, the branches and leaves sway like a ring, and you can still hear the sound of silk and bamboo.

Songyang Academy is a major ideological center of Guan studies. Fan Zhongyan, Sima Guang, and Er Cheng all gave lectures here. Li Fu heard about Su You's arrival and came all the way from Luoyang to meet him.

Nowadays, Guan studies and Shu studies are mutually reinforcing each other, and have been combined into a whole. Shu studies have provided countless arguments and methods for Guan studies theory. Various natural discoveries, logic and dialectics have made this system more and more popular.

Stronger and more thorough.

Correspondingly, as important founders, Zhang Zai and Su You's reputations among Shuluo scholar-bureaucrats became increasingly high.

Li Fu is now in front of Su You, practicing discipleship.

Li Fu took Su You to a tall stone tablet and said: "This is the tablet in praise of the great saint of Songyang in the Tang Dynasty. It was erected in the third year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty."

"Songyang Academy was still Songyang Temple at that time. There lived an old Taoist priest named Sun Taichong, whose Taoist name was 'Songyang Zhenren'. He went up the mountain all day long to collect elixirs and treat people's illnesses. For this reason, people from all over the world came to Songyang.

Observe and take medicine to cure diseases."

"Xuanzong was seriously ill once and could not be cured for a long time. Hearing that the elixir refined by Sun Taichong was very effective, he sent his ministers to Songyang to collect it. After taking it, he was indeed cured."

"To commemorate this event, Xuanzong sent ministers to Songyang Temple to erect a monument. When the work started, the mason in charge asked the minister of supervision: 'How high should this monument be? How wide? How thick?' The minister of supervision casually replied:

'The higher the monument, the better. There is a hat on the head of the monument, and the county magistrate will supervise it. The deadline is 100 days."

"After the stele was completed, it was one foot high, six feet wide, and three feet thick. Li Linfu wrote the text, with Pei Jiong's seal script and Xu Hao's eight-point inscription. The whole stele has more than a thousand characters, with correct writing style, moderate hardness and softness, and elegant style.

It is a masterpiece among Tang Li."

Su You nodded, "A great traitor must be powerful. Li Linfu's article is actually quite good."

Then I heard Li Fu say: "There is another legend about this monument."

"The hundred-day period actually only lasted eighty-one days. Unexpectedly, the monument was erected, but the cap could not be put on. In order to urge the cap to be put on as soon as possible, the minister of supervision killed three county officials in a row, and six

A foreman."

"On the last ninety-seventh day, the minister of supervision went to the monument in person and ordered the masons: 'If you don't put on the cap of the monument within three more days, no one will have to live." After hearing the order, all the masons stood up one by one.

He looked sad, but he was still helpless."

"When I was helpless, an old man suddenly came from the southeast and walked to the monument. He looked here and there, smiling and saying nothing."

"A mason said to the old man: 'Master, it's better to leave quickly! Otherwise, we will suffer disaster here.'"

"The old man replied: 'I am also a craftsman. I can go wherever I go, eat wherever I can, and do whatever I can do. I have been buried for half my life, so what do I have to worry about? It's just one more day, one less day, when will the earth be full?

On the neck, it's done.'

"The old man said that and disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"An old craftsman slapped his forehead and shouted: 'The soil is as round as the neck, I know!'"

Su You smiled and said: "So everyone sealed the stone tablet with soil until it reached the top of the stone tablet, then sent the cap up the slope to put it on, and then picked up the loess, right?"

Li Fu smiled and said, "Teacher, have you heard of this story?"

Su You shook his head. He was thinking of the pyramid: "No, but the essence of science and engineering is to save time and effort and improve efficiency. In fact, there are too many ways. This method can even build a large stone tower with a radius of several miles, let alone a mere stone monument.

"

Li Fu said: "It is said that the old man is Lu Ban. This story has been circulated in this area."

Su You patted the thick stele: "This is a very good story, and it is also a classic application of science and engineering. The mechanics principles in it are also very classic. Otherwise, this lecture will be based on the principles explained in this stele story.

Get up."

…

Bianjing City, Wang Anshi's Residence.

Wang Yu and Lu Huiqing were checking correspondence.

Wang Yu read the letter: "I know that Su Juan of Chenliu also wrote a letter, saying that Chenliu County is the closest to Kaifeng, the capital, and suggested that the Yicang method be implemented on a pilot basis in the capital."

Lu Huiqing said: "I previously knew Wang Guangyuan of Qizhou and Gao Bin of Tangzhou, who suggested that we please restore the free warehouse system and summarize the experience of setting up free warehouses as a guideline for long-term implementation."

Wang Yu said: "The first-class households receive two shi of millet and wheat every year, the second-class households one shi, the third-class households five dou, the fourth-class households one dou of five liters, and the fifth-class households one dou. The grains they receive are stored here.

Each commune has a designated person in charge of its warehouse, and the head of the village commune is responsible for farmers receiving grain. The county official registers the specific amount of commune grain each year."

"In a good harvest year, we can store the grain in the charity warehouse according to the amount; in a bad harvest year, we can provide relief to the local people according to the grain in the charity warehouse. If the grain in the charity warehouse is stored for a long time, it can be loaned to the people, or the new and old can be exchanged.

To avoid damage to food.”

"Su Juan also stated in detail the feasibility and some possible drawbacks of the free warehouse system. Song Shenzong accepted the opinions of the above-mentioned local officials and decided to restore the free warehouse law.

Lu Huiqing said: "They are all enthusiastic people..."

Wang Yu sneered: "I'm afraid they are all enthusiastic people... Isn't that what the country does to level the warehouse? Isn't it their turn to do something unnecessary? This is just the local government trying to divide the power of the center so that it can be used by others."

Lu Huiqing nodded: "It is also possible that before Tang Gong counted the accounting department, the officials wanted to borrow the east wall to make up for the west wall. The burden ultimately fell on the people."

Wang Yu sneered and said: "It's a small fuss. When the new law comes out, they will be surprised... By the way, how can I cure my two uncles?"

Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "Sir, everything will be prosperous when the family is harmonious. Isn't it a good thing that brothers and sisters who participate in politics will be respectful and the family will be harmonious? How can you say that?"

"But I heard that my wife is not allowed to touch the salary for participating in politics. She just gives it to the two brothers every month. This is not appropriate."
