Chapter 937 Worth it

Wearing a short dress, rolled up his trouser legs, and wearing a bamboo hat, Su You bent down and cut off the fat ears of rice on the first sickle. He turned to Jia Dan and smiled: "Jia Gong, it's you who do it. Although he comes from a peasant family,

I'm good at fishing and shrimping, but this job is really bad."

Jia Quan laughed loudly and took the sickle: "Leave this to us, you are responsible for cooking for us!"

"I'm good at this!" Su You looked at the expectant farmers around him and waved his hand: "Don't miss the farming season, grab the harvest at the right time and start using the sickle!"

Cheers filled the fields, and countless men went down to the fields and began to harvest with their sickles.

Farm work is hard, but the harvest is gratifying. No matter how harsh the sun is, it cannot stop the joy and enthusiasm of the harvest.

As early as a few days ago, the women were using mud to seal the cracks in the ground in front of their houses. They had a good harvest, but they were reluctant to waste a single grain of rice.

The husbands were busy repairing farm tools and drying mats.

The children also had no time to play and had to help the family feed chickens, ducks, and cut pig grass.

What Su You is more concerned about is the granary.

Guancang was built on the northern suburban highlands five miles away from Meizhou, where the earliest small fishing village was located.

A large mound with an area of ​​two miles has been built there, which is called "Liangtai".

In the middle is a huge grain drying field, surrounded by brick walls, and inside are two rings of granaries.

The tax for three seasons a year is 2 million shi of rice. Including floating rice, it is 3 million shi. Now there are 5 million shi of rice piled here. From the perspective of grain alone, Meizhou Road Changpingcang is

The richest and most substantial official warehouse in the Song Dynasty.

Rice cannot be stored for too long, usually three years. In other words, the standing grain here in the future will be about 10 million dan, and a redundant space of 2 million dan will be left.

The problem is that we cannot move to the north at once, otherwise only one Nanhai Road can solve the food shortage problem in Hedong and Hebei.

Therefore, we can only adopt a roundabout strategy. The Nanhai Road supplies grain to the four roads, and the other three roads engage in commercial trade. Then they go to Liangzhe Road and Jinghu South Road to exchange for grain, and then use the grain from the two Zhejiang Roads to support Hedong, Hebei, and Jinghu.

Food aid to Bianjing and Shaanxi.

The economic circulation of the entire Song Dynasty was alive in this way.

Silk, tea, and porcelain are arterial blood; grain, salt, and metal are venous blood.

Nanhai and Zhejiang are the lungs; Shuzhong is the liver; Bianjing is the heart.

The general pattern and functions of hematopoiesis have been formed. As for the treatment of blood clots and local blood loss, it is the next problem.

The energy that emerges from the effective cycle of the world's largest economic entity will be terrifying and abnormal. It can be said that any resistance that attempts to block the effective flow of this cycle will eventually be overwhelmed and overwhelmed.

After Su You came to this world, he worked conscientiously and cautiously for twenty-five years, and finally completed this grand layout. Even if he died immediately, this situation would be irreversible.

But now there are almost no people in the Song Dynasty who can see this clearly. Even Zhang Fangping and Xue Xiang only wrote letters to highly praise the formation of this circle, and have not yet realized the power that this circle will eventually explode.

Even if there is another turbulence after death, history will eventually send Su You to the altar.

Because it can almost be said that every Chinese in future generations will enjoy this dividend.

For all of this, Su You gave up too much comfort and enjoyment, gave away too many benefits, and humiliated himself to the point of ruin.

But it's undoubtedly worth it.

A huge interest class will soon be formed, that is, those who get rich first; those who are promoted from poverty to subsistence and clothing, and will be promoted to well-off in the future; those who have technology, courage, broad vision, and the courage to

People who go global; people who understand mathematics, astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and can transform them into actual wealth.

When this interest class formed a political group and began to reach out to demand political rights from this society, that was when Su You became a god.

This day may be very near, or it may be far away, but it will eventually come.

"Natural principles and human feelings", the ultimate slogan of Neo-Confucianism, even surpasses "establishing a mind for the heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the people, carrying on the unique knowledge for the saints, and creating peace for all generations."

It's almost invincible.

The latter is just the goal.

The former is not only a goal, but also a method.

Not only is it a criterion for judgment, it is also a reasonable appeal.

It is not the kind of metaphysics that is so lofty and unreachable, mysterious and mysterious, that you know what is happening but don’t know why.

It is a realm that can be seen, touched, figured out, and achieved.

By following these four words, everyone can become a saint!

In the end, someone will always rise up, follow the laws of nature, encourage everyone, and demand the rights they deserve as human beings!

Su You does not need to explain these things. Countless smart people will naturally explain and interpret them in the future, and all Su You has to do is light up this lamp.

Now this lamp has attracted countless people.

For example, the conservatives Sima Guang and Shao Bowen; the reformists Zhang Dun and Zeng Bu; the neutralists Zhang Fangping and Zhao Peng; the moderates Su Shi and Su Che.

Zhao Zongyou has a royal background; Xue Xiang has a civil servant background; Guo Kui and Zhong Ji have a military background; Tang Yan and Chen Zhaoming have an academic background.

The cunning one is like Cai Jing, the enthusiastic one is like Shen Kuo, the simple one is like Jia Quan, and the square one is like Su Song.

More on the lower level.

There are scholars from the Royal Institute of Technology, Songyang Academy, Meishan Institute of Technology, and Zhongshan Institute of Technology;

There are farmers from Shaanxi Road, Jinghu South Road, Liangzhe Road, and Nanhai Fourth Road;

There are workers from Zhengzhou, Yunzhou, Hangzhou, Yezhou, Yongzhou, Tongling, Shenquanjian, Shanghaiwu, Jingshizhou and Shangzhou;

There are merchants from Bianjing, Shuzhong, Zhejiang and Yunzhou;

There are serving and retired soldiers and generals from Shaanxi, Jingshi, Yongzhou, and Kuizhou.

These people are not from Suyou. They each have their own ideals and ambitions, their own lifestyle choices, and their own joys and sorrows.

But they have accepted this lamp, felt the light and warmth it brought, and saw the direction it illuminated.

This is enough, that's all Su You wants.

Therefore, in this harvest month of June, Su You was in a very happy mood. In addition to daily government affairs, he would occasionally take time to go out to sea on the Feiyu that had sailed here, and play diving, fishing, and eating with Shi Wei.

seafood;

Or go for some secluded sightseeing, visit mysterious Indian temples, and the tombs of kings;

I also look for new and unusual items in the market, and occasionally purchase some inexplicable jewelry shells;

There is also the matter of entertaining guests, "The seats are always full of guests, and the bottles of wine are never empty." In ancient times, there was Kongbeihai, and now there is Sunanhai.

However, there were too few people who could recite poems and compose poems. Fortunately, Su You was not uncommon. Studying farm tools and repairing water mills with Shen Kuo, observing the sky and calculating nautical charts with Zhao Zongyou were also fun.

The southern sky star map has been completely drawn, and the advent of the northern sky star map and the southern sky star map has further consolidated and consolidated the earth theory, and the earth theory has effectively supported the physical theory of gravity.

This is still a shocking thing among the people, but among the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty today, a consensus has been formed.

This is a great progress.

In the past science, conclusions were drawn through observation.

But now, through limited observations, further bold speculations, and then using advanced mathematical models to conduct rigorous calculations, it is deduced that the earth is a sphere before the observation results.

Then he made bold speculation again, thinking that there should be a different starry sky in the southern sky;

Under the guidance of this conjecture, we went to the southern sky to conduct observations, and finally confirmed the correctness of the conjecture.

This is a typical example of using theory to guide practice, and the model outperforms the observed results.

People in the Song Dynasty respected knowledge. This result also gave science and engineering scholars a sacred and mysterious veil, and also attracted more elites who had a strong thirst for knowledge and thought they were extremely smart to invest in research.

These people, in turn, greatly promoted the development of science and engineering. The three disciplines of mathematics, physics, and chemistry in science and engineering gradually tended to develop in the direction of "explicit learning."

When there are more people like this, the elite will stand out.

However, many elites always have such shortcomings that Su You dare not even think about recommending them to the imperial court, and is often so angry that his liver hurts.

For example, Li Nangong, the deputy envoy of Hebei Province, was an official for generations. He has tens of thousands of books in his family. He has two sons, one named Li Zhen and the other named Li Jie. They are both in their twenties, but their family backgrounds mean they are already experts in large-scale civil engineering projects.
