Chapter 793 Working People

The Song Dynasty has also gone through more than a hundred years. Although the price of grain varies from place to place, it is basically controlled at around 75 cents per dou. Taking into account the purchasing power and per capita income of the currencies of the two dynasties, in fact, the price of grain in the Song Dynasty is higher than that of the Song Dynasty.

At the same founding stage as the Tang Dynasty, it was cheaper.

Of course, this can only show that the economy of the Song Dynasty was stronger than that of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the merits of the rulers. This is determined by the objective laws of history and economics, or is the result of the continuous progress of mankind.

When it comes to credit, the credit goes to the millions of people who are willing to live a good life.

There is nothing new under the sun. Learning from the past will make many things clear.

Using "doubles of rice and five articles" to prove the power of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is the same as using all-inclusive medical education and education in the early days of liberation to prove that it was more powerful than after the opening up. In the eyes of sensible people, it is just a

joke.

The power of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was that it allowed everyone to have enough to eat, live and work in peace and contentment, and was not afraid of foreign enemies. Anyone who disobeyed would be beaten to the ground!

The weakness of the Song Dynasty was that although the economy was developed, the gap between the rich and the poor was too large, wealth was concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people, the country was weak and the army was weak, and any foreign enemy could bully it!

Su You's mission is to change this situation.

This boy has made up his mind. If the government does not agree to change the water transportation to sea transportation, then he will find another way to make a fortune for Sitong and transfer the grain from the two Zhejiang roads to Hebei through the private sector!

In Gengxu, Han Jiang was dismissed as prime minister.

There can only be one leadership core, so Han Jiang must retire.

Moreover, Han Jiang and Wang Anshi had major differences in their opinions on employment.

After Wang Anshi came to power, in view of the withering of talents under his command, he was bewitched by villains and appointed a group of people who Zhao Xu usually disliked.

Such people were abandoned by the imperial power and could only rely on the power of the prime minister. Wang Anshi could use this to consolidate his power.

However, Han Jiang objected to this approach, and the two finally clashed over the appointment of an official named Liu Zuo.

Liu Fa was a criminal official and was "exempted by law", but Wang Anshi "wanted to wipe it out and use it". Han Jiang believed that this simply violated the basic ethics of officialdom.

Han Jiang argued hard in front of Zhao Xu, but when he was still undecided, he went to beg again.

Zhao Xu was startled: "Why is Liu Zuo such a big fuss?"

Han Jiang replied stiffly: "It's not a small thing, how much more important!"

Zhao Xu specifically expelled Liu Zuo for this reason.

However, Han Jiang still complained about his illness, and finally learned about Xuzhou as the Minister of Rites and the Great Scholar of Guanwen Palace.

Wang Anshi's men lost another strong man.

Yiwei, the comet comes out of Zhen.

Zhao Xu was stunned. There was no end to this. The old rule was to avoid the palace and ask for an edict.

Opponents of the new law seized the opportunity and started writing.

Wang Anshi's younger brother Wang Anli, a strong opponent of the new law, responded to the imperial edict: "People fail at the bottom, and changes are seen at the top... Calling loyal people unfaithful, and unworthy people virtuous... Use your strength to fight in barren ditches, and make profits."

If you study it as a gardener, you can do the yin and yang and summon the stars to change."

Lu Gong wrote in response to the imperial edict: "Your Majesty has the desire to govern but has no actual intention to govern. The ministers who are responsible for this task are responsible for your Majesty... The one who was promoted the day before was considered to be the most virtuous, and the day after that he was dismissed as the most unworthy... In ancient times,

In the beginning of a government, there are those who do not trust the people. If a son takes charge of Zheng, people will complain about him in one year, and people will sing about him in three years."

"Your Majesty has been here for seven years, but the chanting by others is no different from the day before. Your Majesty just doesn't notice!"

Zhang Fangping responded to the imperial edict and said: "It has been six years since the new law was implemented, and the pros and cons of the matter cannot be understood in detail."

"The changes in the heaven and the earth are caused by the people's hearts. Therefore, the harmonious atmosphere should not be responded to, and disasters and disasters should be avoided. Taking care of these things, there must be those who do not cooperate with the people."

"Since the law has not been harmonized, things must be changed; if we are afraid of changing it, people will be unbearable. This is why I feel so sad for Your Majesty, and everything will be prosperous overnight!"

Deng Wan, the censor Zhongcheng, quickly wrote a letter to divert the traffic and poured sewage on Lu Huiqing: "All people have tools for keeping healthy, and they are used every day. Now if we want to make it clear, the family will be worried about being criticized, and people will hide it."

consider."

"Merchant trades and profits, whether there are transactions, may be there in the spring but have been dissipated in the summer, or they may be stored in the autumn and scattered in the winter. Why should the public records be detained? The situation is safe and not violated!"

"It only makes those who file lawsuits seek reward and revenge, while those who are timid are willing to die and endure hardship."

Practical methods for requesting suspension of proceedings.

What does it mean to overturn a villain? Deng Wan is the best example. You were the one who advocated the most vigorously a year ago. Why didn’t you say it then?!

Seeing that the situation was about to escalate again, Zhao Xu quickly called a halt.

Fortunately, the comet also disappeared in time, so the whole country was granted amnesty, the actual discussion was stopped, and it was considered a blur.

However, Su You's letter seemed quite strange. It could be said that it was Pili Yangqiu.

Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty has just ceded hundreds of miles of land to the Liao Dynasty. It is hard to say which country is bigger and which is smaller. Therefore, it is also unclear which country the celestial phenomena should be in.

There is an old saying in Sichuan, "When the sky falls, the tall one will hold it up." So let's just sum up and be vigilant. There is no need to panic too much.

Zhao Xu laughed angrily, Mingrun, can we please stop making trouble?

Su You is on the table again, so let's discuss it carefully.

Now that various places have entered the autumn harvest season, the five-year development plan of Liangzhe Road has entered its second year. According to statistics from various places, the per capita income of residents has doubled;

Taxes increased by 50%; of which agricultural taxes increased by 20% and commercial taxes doubled.

The arable area has expanded by 50,000 hectares, including 30,000 hectares around Taihu Lake, 10,000 hectares in Jiangning Prefecture, and a total of 10,000 hectares in Taiping Prefecture, Guangdejun, and Xuanzhou;

Gold, silver, and copper production doubled;

This year, the price per bucket of grain has dropped to 50 cents; the total output has increased by 30%;

Ten large salt fields north of the Qiantang River have been renovated, doubling salt production;

The two municipal shipping companies in Hangzhou and Mingzhou have organized sea trade with a large number of goods. The first batch of ships have returned, and more than half of the profits are still lost in Ryukyu. The maluma has not yet been transported back, which has increased the city shipping company's income by 20%.

Next year, more than 30,000 hectares of Taihu Lake Basin along Liangzhe Road will be developed;

The output of precious metals will continue to increase by more than 20%;

The salt field renovation project south of the Qiantang River was launched;

Road transportation construction will be carried out in an all-round way to stimulate economic circulation;

I am very confident that the two Zhejiang Roads will continue to maintain a high level of economic growth.

Therefore, the change of nature in human affairs does not depend on one person, certain officials, or one or two systems.

The same goes for personnel to cope with changes in nature, and all people of the Song Dynasty should work together.

Seeing that the year has passed in two months, have the budgets of various sectors been prepared? Have the statistics of the three departments been prepared? Has the development outline for next year been released? Once these things are taken care of, we will be able to cope with the inevitable changes.

Bar?

Zhao Xu was right. Why should I bear the blame alone? Why do you have the nerve to blame me when I haven't done so many things?!

After issuing an edict, all roads should be monitored for their comings and goings;

Zhongshu, the Third Bureau, and the Privy Council are planning all the major events for next year.

Check the amount of military expenditure and labor service advance, and check the good and bad governance of various areas over the past year.

After September, cotton begins to decline.

In addition to the hard work of picking cotton, people in the Song Dynasty are not good at cotton spinning and processing. Simply removing cotton seeds is a stumbling block.

To solve this problem, what is needed is a cotton gin.

The cotton gin is a very simple machine, consisting of a saw-toothed roller and an arc-shaped grooved plate.

By shaking the drum, the cotton is brought to the gap between the two. As the cotton fiber is hooked away by the saw teeth of the drum, the cotton ball will become smaller and smaller, and finally only a little bit will be left attached to the seed. Through the gap between the drum and the groove plate

It fell into the cotton seed collection box at the bottom.

A large amount of cotton fibers will be blocked by a baffle at the other end, scraped off the drum, and collected regularly by people.

This machine can be completed by hand cranking and is not difficult.

There is also spinning, which makes cotton fibers into fine cotton threads, which also requires mechanical improvements.

But now there are hydraulic reeling machines and linen weaving machines, and based on them, in the northwest of the Song Dynasty, wool yarn machines for processing wool fibers have been developed.

Compared with the first two machines, the machine that processes wool fiber only has one more drafting process.

This process is also required in cotton spinning, so the cotton spinning machine used in Suyou today is actually a modified version of the wool spinning machine, which is more refined and precise.

A spinning machine can spin 300 cotton threads at the same time.

The original machine used for spinning wool was the result of the Shangzhou Zhou case. The nominal inventor was Gao Shilin, the envoy of the Song Dynasty.

As a result, the Gao family became a major player in the wool textile industry of the Song Dynasty. This is the fundamental reason why Gao Zunyu guarded 300,000 households and refused to move.

Thinking that Prime Minister Gao, who knew nothing about mathematics, physics and chemistry, was destined to become a glorious figure in the history of China's technological development and the founder of modern industry, Su You felt bad all over and was so angry.

pain.

I'm so angry, this is really cheating the world and stealing my reputation! If not, I have to write it down in a notebook for him.

So Su You specifically wrote down the invention process of the woolen spinning machine in "Zhen Chen Lu", explaining that Prime Minister Gao did not understand mathematics, physics and chemistry, and that he only had the credit for leading the case. In fact, the real credit should belong to...

Damn, who does it belong to? Who can remember the names of the little craftsmen below?
