Chapter 103: Friends from afar
Zhao Kuangyi said angrily: "Why are you laughing at?"
"The two kings, since I have handed over various techniques to the court, will my knowledge still be treasured? But now it is not possible. Even if I have built academy, no one will teach me, and some people will teach me the scriptures, but that is the matter of the Imperial Academy and has nothing to do with the Imperial Academy. If I teach arithmetic and material things, it is not enough to divide the Imperial Academy into half. This will take three years to grow up, and I even plan to leave some more students in the future. With the teaching staff, the academy can be built."
Zhao Kuangyi laughed.
It is also true. It would be fine if it was really those strange and lewd tricks, but if the most stubborn Confucian scholars come to see it, they would not dare to say that it was strange and lewd tricks. If this knowledge is placed in a person's belly, no one who is the ruler will be too relieved.
Song Jiu said again: "The two kings, it is better to bring Weichen to the emperor a request, and let the officials of various prefectures and counties organize personnel to collect various ores, as long as they can identify the production of a certain amount, take a sample, collect it, and send it to the capital. Maybe Weichen will be able to play a greater role, and it is just a sample, not too heavy, and it is not considered disturbing the people."
Song Jiu was so troubled to find materials.
Of course, it is not the material that he can recognize. The materials that were tested in school in the past were different from ores, and they were all refined. Even those tests, Song Jiu may not be able to remember them one by one. But some can recognize them, and some can judge their properties through experiments.
It is not possible now. This must be studied by multiple people and wait. This problem is not big. If it doesn’t work for two years, two years will not work for three years. Qin Wazi and the others will gradually help him. But they must have comprehensive materials in their hands.
Zhao Kuangyi nodded, asking for more than enough.
Then he went back, and then the house was taken seriously by the court again. There were soldiers guarding it day and night, and the eldest sister could not enter.
The project speed is not slow, there are not many real civilians, only more than 2,000 people, and the rest are the wing soldiers. In recent years, the imperial court cannot be considered a bumper harvest. Some disasters have occurred one after another. The imperial court began to use the method of organizing wing soldiers to resettle victims. However, the number of wing soldiers may not be as large as the number of wing soldiers. More than 6,000 wing soldiers were transferred, and there were related craftsmen, and nearly 10,000 people worked on the construction site.
The bridge has changed, and the pier has actually changed.
It turned out that the dock was a river bank with a long slope. The boom could not be that long, so it had to rotate, and the damage rate was the highest. Now it was not necessary. Just use stones to build them at a 90-degree angle, leaving a slope at the tip, extending all the way down to the water surface. This slope prevents some goods from being unable to be lifted, and has to be set up manually. There is a bridge pier and a bridge deck pile in the middle, which is in line with the tip, and it is also a sign to prevent the passing boats from accidentally bumping into it. In addition, people can also play a certain role in pulling the bridge deck. The boom continues to exist, but it is replaced by a fixed type, and an iron tower is used instead of wood. Bearings are used in many places, and most of the iron chains are replaced with steel cables.
But Song Jiu did not increase the lifting weight much, the standard was 60 to 80 stones, and the maximum load-bearing weight was 100 stones. This is because it is not very confident about the quality of steel and the quality of pulleys, because it is fixed, not a pulley set composed of three pulleys, but a more complex pulley set composed of five pulleys. It will be faster and more labor-saving.
It may be further improved, but in this era, pulley sets have been almost applied to the extreme.
But the tower must also be anti-rust painted.
There is also a cement road, and a stone bridge was built on the Hulong River. It is not reinforced concrete, it does not have that span, so it is not necessary. Once the enemy invades, these bridges will not be easily destroyed, and Hulong River will lose its function. It can only be a stone bridge, and everyone will not tell you about this.
In fact, there will be three more bridges in the future, which are mainly used to transport goods to the court.
As for Song Jiu's industry, there was almost no movement.
The yamen came to ask, and Song Jiu replied: "Students have been delayed for too long and can't delay any more. After they graduate, we will do it."
"That money..." Pan Weigu said.
"The money is definitely not enough. The money of the two kings and three kings is not enough. Come and see it," Song Jiu opened the picture and said, "There is an amusement park between the dock and the bridge. There is a main shop on the east side of the bridge. They are all places for food and drink. However, there will be a curfew at the third evening in the capital. What should I do if the guests are late? There must be an inn. Moreover, these five things are connected together. Once construction starts, there is no landscape behind. It is a beautiful scenery that will attract many tourists to come and make a profit. However, how much money does the three things need to be built? But the same is true, I will talk about it after the students graduate. And the court is building bridges and docks, spending a lot of money. Some literati and officials are unhappy. At this time, we will build the main shops and playgrounds. What do they want to say?"
The news about these yamen is more informative than Song Jiu, and he was silent after hearing this.
"But you are here, just do something for me, and invite seven glass craftsmen to come."
"Have Liuli studied it?" Han Qingxiong asked. This was what they were concerned about. Without Liuli, there would be no gorgeous architectural appearance of the main store and the hotel, and the grade would not be as high as that.
"Not yet, but some technologies have begun to make breakthroughs. The key is that the cost is too high. Now we are studying how to reduce the cost."
Now whoever says that sand can burn glass is enough, Song Jiu is sure to be anxious about him.
I don’t expect glass to drop to the price of his previous life, but at least I can’t make the cost of a high-quality glass bowl reach several cents. So how much does it cost to decorate the store? It must also be reduced. When mass production is reduced, the cost of a glass window can only be a few dozen cents or one or two hundred cents. This cost is amazing, but it can be psychologically affordable for Song Jiu.
Yuping came over to pour tea for them. The Pan brothers looked at each other and looked at the gentle little woman. A hint of melancholy flashed in their eyes, and the resentment that they wanted to drag Song Jiu out and beat him up. Shi Baozheng said, "Jiulang, your student has graduated, and you want to leave two for my family."
Song Jiu rubbed his head and said, "Shi Dalang, it's not only you, but many people have said that the price is getting higher and higher, which will make me suffer. Not only you, once the main store starts, we will also keep a few students who are proficient in arithmetic and manage the account book cashiers. There are still twenty-one students in the school hall. How much salary will I have to give them at that time?"
Fu Zhaoshou pulled Shi Baozheng and said, "Dalang, your family is so rich, why come and join in the fun? Let's give it to your family next year."
"I don't make the decision. You want to invite them. After the court invites you, you will discuss the rest with them. We can't divide them here. We have no right." Song Jiu said. It's not that we can't divide them, but we can't divide them. The court will use a group of people to use, and how many people can be left. If they sell favors, sell this and offend that. At that time, they will rob people and beat them to death, but they cannot have anything to do with themselves. In fact, with the arrival of the graduation period, more and more merchants come to the river. If it weren't for Song Jiu's suppression, they would make the students panic. Even a problem was raised for the court, how much salary should these students be given to them? This is not a hurry. I was so anxious that there were not enough people here to graduate, and many people there begging Song Jiu, or sending gifts to their elder sister and Yuping, asking them to plead with them, and accepting their own children or servants in the second semester. In the end, Song Jiu had to close the door and prevent outsiders from visiting.
These yamen came forward and acted quickly. I don’t know what method they used. Song Jiu asked seven craftsmen to burn glass, and got twelve in just three days. He definitely couldn’t live in the house, so he had to build a house on Hezhou.
In fact, if the house is to be demolished sooner or later, some will move to workshops in Henan, and some will move to academies.
As June is coming, a boat of small and small slowly sails into the capital.
A few young barbarians looked at Hezhou, one of them grinned and said, "He was created by the inspector."
When they heard this, the few people stood at the bow of the boat together to watch.
After entering Dongshuimen, he leaned on a boat and found out the address of the Song Jiu family. He brought a lot of gifts to the Song family. Song Jiu was teaching. When he saw them, he stopped quickly and greeted him, "Brother Peng, Brother Zhang, Brother Tian, you are here."
“We just arrived.”
The intention was good, and the first person to visit Song Jiu, Song Jiu said anxiously: "No, you must enter the imperial city, and then you can complete the procedures."
He didn't care about the reception and asked them to put down the gifts and took them to the imperial city. When they arrived at the imperial city, they were not Qin Zaixiong and could not see Zhao Kuangyin, but they had to go to the Zhongshu to submit the procedures. Song Jiu reported the situation and an official came over and brought several barbarians to the Zhongshu. Song Jiu stood at the gate of the imperial city and waited. After a while, several barbarians came out, but they also brought out many things. Peng Ruai pointed to these boxes and cloth bags and said, "Inspector, this is what Your Majesty gave to our people in Chenzhou."
"Have you seen the emperor?" Song Jiu asked in surprise.
"Short after we entered, the Emperor summoned us."
Song Jiu thought about it, was Zhao Kuangyin really attracted to his strategies, otherwise he would not have taken it so seriously. He definitely couldn't figure it out and said, "You follow me."
Take them to Kaifeng Prefecture.
Qin Zaixun moved a ship of cargo on board, not for Song Jiu, but mainly tributes and some local specialties, and then placed them in the capital for sale. This was Song Jiu's idea. In the capital, it was so miserable that the south, especially the barbarians lived in the area, was not only a barren land, but also a bloody myth. This caused a result, a barrier, and the Han people were afraid of them and looked down upon them. With such a mentality, how could the two races merge well?
After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyi asked for stability and peace in the south. The court immediately agreed to send a yamen runner to settle a few barbarians, not at the Song family, but to arrange them to the inn. But Song Jiu could not just ask, Qin Zaixun knew nothing, and Song Jiu had to take them to arrange the people sent by the sworn brother. It was set up in Xiangguo Temple and served as a commodity booth in a long corridor, which was a simple commodity sale. But when Song Jiu got into Song Jiu's hands, it was magnified infinitely. He invited several painters to paint the goods transported by Qin Zaixun, and then posted them. At the same time, he marked the Chenzhou specialties at Xiangguo Temple on May 28, but this time there will be twenty rare treasures. In order to support the event, each treasure is only sold for twenty to fifty cents.
Twenty to fifty jin of coins is not a small number, but it is nothing to put on rare treasures. In the luxurious shops in Panlou, a piece of beautiful Khotan jade can often be sold for hundreds of coins! This aroused the interest of the people.
It didn't take long, and the painting was posted on the twenty-five days. Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
When the 28th arrived, the other goods were also arranged by Song Jiu when he took the time to send someone to arrange them, and good things must be packaged. I remember that in my previous life, I went to Jilin City to see the ginseng market. It was ginseng, but I put a piece of cloth on the ground and started to sell them. How can I sell it for a good price?
In fact, among some of the goods brought by Qin Zaixun, there are also a batch of good ethnic minority specialties, such as some spices, Yaojia forging knives, and Lanliang printed cloth, which are not inferior to the crafts of the capital. Moreover, they were shipped from Chenzhou Man, so this gimmick can attract customers.
On the first day, Song Jiu took the time to come over to preside over the presidency.
