Chapter 937: It's worth it
Chapter 937 is worth it
Dressed in a short dress, holding his trouser legs, and wearing a hat, Su You bent down and cut off the first fat ear of rice, turned his head and smiled at Jia Kang: "Jia Gong, you should come, although you are from a farming family, you are good at fishing and touching shrimp, this job is really bad." ”
Jia Jia laughed 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 farmers around him who were looking forward to it, and waved his hand: "You can't make a mistake when you are farming, grab the harvest while it's time, and open the sickle!" ”
Cheering and cheering, countless men went down to the fields and began to reap with their sickles.
The farm work is hard, but the harvest is gratifying. No matter how hot the sun is, it can't stop the joy and enthusiasm of the harvest.
A few days ago, the women were in front of their houses, pasting the ground with mud, and the harvest was reaping the harvest, but not a single grain of rice was wasted.
The husbands were busy mending farm tools and drying mats.
The children also have to help feed the chickens, ducks, and pigweed.
And Su You is more concerned about the granary.
Guancang was built in the northern suburbs of the highlands five miles away from Meizhou, which is where the earliest small fishing village was located.
A large mound has been piled up there, with a radius of two miles, called the "grain platform".
In the middle is a huge barn, surrounded by brick walls, and inside are two circles of granaries.
Three seasons of tax a year, that is, two million stone rice, plus floating rice, enough three million stone, now there are five million stone rice piled up here, just from the perspective of grain, Meizhou Road is often closed, is the richest and most fulfilling official warehouse in the Great Song Dynasty.
Rice cannot be stored for too long, usually for three years, that is to say, the standing grain here in the future is about 10 million stones, and there is a redundant space of 2 million stones.
The bitter thing is that there is no way to move to the north in one go, otherwise only one Nanhai Road can solve the problem of food shortage in Hedong and Hebei.
Therefore, the only way to do this was to adopt a roundabout strategy, with the Nanhai Road supplying four routes of grain, and the remaining three routes engaging in commercial trade, and then going to Liangzhejiang Road and Jinghu South Road to exchange for grain, and then using the grain from Liangzhejiang Road to help Hedong Hebei, and Jinghu's grain to help Bianjing and Shaanxi.
The economic circulation of the entire Great Song Dynasty was thus alive.
silk, tea, porcelain, is arterial blood; Grain, salt, metal, is venous blood.
The South China Sea, two Zhejiang, is the lungs; In Shu, it is the liver; Bianjing is the heart.
The general pattern and function of hematopoiesis have been formed, and as for the treatment of thrombosis and local blood loss, it is the next problem.
The energy that erupts from the effective circulation of the world's largest economic entity will be terrifying, and it can be said that any resistance that attempts to block the effective flow of this cycle will eventually be washed away and submerged.
Su You came to this world, worked diligently, and carefully for twenty-five years, and finally completed this big layout, even if he died immediately, this situation would be difficult to reverse.
But now there are almost no people who can see this clearly, even if Zhang Fangping and Xue Xiang only wrote a letter to speak highly of the formation of this circle, and they have not yet realized the power of this circle that will eventually erupt.
The road to death will not disappear, even if there is a countercurrent in the future, history will eventually send Su You to the altar.
Because it can almost be said that every Chinese person in the future will enjoy this dividend.
For all this, Su You gave up too much comfort and pleasure, gave up too many interests, and wronged himself to the mud.
But it's undoubtedly worth it.
A huge class of interests will soon be formed, that is, those who will get rich first; Those who have been promoted from poverty to food and clothing, and will be promoted to moderate prosperity in the future; Those who have technology, courage, broad horizons, and dare to go to the world; People who know mathematics, astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and are able to turn them into practical wealth.
When this interest class forms a political group and begins to reach out to this society to demand political rights, it is the time when Su You becomes a god.
This day may be near, it may be far away, but it will come.
"Heavenly Principles and Human Feelings", the ultimate slogan of science, will even exceed "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." ”
It's almost invincible.
The latter is just the goal.
The former, on the other hand, is not only the goal, but also the method.
It is not only a criterion for judging, but also a reasonable demand.
It's not the kind of metaphysics that is unattainable and mysterious, and you don't know why it is.
It is a field that can be seen, touched, thought through, and reached.
Follow these four words, and everyone can become a saint!
Eventually, there will always be people who will rise up, follow the principles of heaven, encourage everyone, and claim the rights they deserve as human beings!
These things don't need Su You to say, there will naturally be countless smart people to explain and interpret these things in the future, and what Su You has to do is just light this lamp.
Nowadays, this lamp has attracted countless people.
For example, the conservative Sima Guang and Shao Bowen; Reform [ ] of the Zhangdun faction, Zeng Bu; Zhang Fangping and Zhao Luan of the Neutral faction; Moderate Su Shi, Su Zhe.
Cho Jong-woo with a royal background; Xue Xiang with a background of officials; Guo Kui, who has a military background, is a kind of criticism; Tang Yan and Chen Zhaoming with academic background.
Cunning, such as Cai Jing, hot, such as Shen Kuo, simple, such as Jia Ling, square, such as 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, Liangzhejiang Road, and Nanhai Fourth Road;
There are workers in Zhengzhou, Yunzhou, Hangzhou, Yezhou, Yongzhou, Tongling, Shenquanjian, Shanghai Affairs, Jingshizhou, and Shangzhou;
There are merchants from Bianjing, Shuzhong, Liangzhejiang and Yunzhou;
There are active and retired soldiers and generals from Shaanxi, Jingshi, Yongzhou, and Kuizhou.
These people are not Suyou people, they each have their own ideals and ambitions, each has their own choice of lifestyle, and each has their own joys and sorrows.
But they have accepted the lamp, felt the light and warmth it brings, and seen the direction it shines from.
That's enough, Su You wants, that's all.
Therefore, in this bumper harvest in June, Su You's mood is very happy, in addition to daily government affairs, he occasionally finds time to go to sea on the Flying Fish that has sailed here, and Shi Wei plays diving and fishing, and eats seafood;
Or go in search of secluded spots, visit mysterious Indian temples, and occupy the tombs of kings;
I will also look at the fresh and rare in the market, and occasionally buy some inexplicable jewelry shells;
There is also a treat, "the seats are always full, and the wine in the bottle is not empty." "In ancient times, there was Kong Beihai, and now there is Sunnanhai.
However, there are too few people who can recite poems, but fortunately, Su You is not uncommon, and it is also fun to study farm tools with Shen Kuo, repair water mills, observe the sky with Zhao Zongyou, and calculate nautical charts.
The advent of the North and South Sky Star Maps has further consolidated and consolidated the earth theory, which in turn has strongly supported the physical theory of gravity.
The people still take this as a shocking talk, and in today's Song Dynasty scholar class, a consensus has been formed.
This is a great step forward.
In the past, science has drawn conclusions through observation.
Now, through limited observations, further bold speculation, and then using advanced mathematical models to perform rigorous calculations, the earth is deduced to be a sphere before the observations.
Then he made a bold speculation again, thinking that there should be a different starry sky in the southern sky;
Under the guidance of this conjecture, he went to the southern sky to make observations, and finally confirmed the correctness of the speculation.
This is a typical example of using theory to guide practice, and the model runs ahead of the observations.
The people of the Song Dynasty respected knowledge, and this result also put a veil of sacredness and mystery on science and engineering scholars, and also attracted more elites with a strong desire for knowledge and considered themselves to be brilliant to devote themselves to research.
These people, in turn, have greatly promoted the development of science and engineering, and the three disciplines of mathematics, science, and chemistry of science and engineering have gradually developed in the direction of "obvious learning".
When there are more such people, the elite will stand out.
But many elites always have such and such problems, so that Su You does not dare to think of recommending it to the imperial court, and he is often so angry that his liver hurts.
For example, Li Nangong, the deputy envoy of Hebei Transport, was an official in his ancestors, with tens of thousands of books in his family, and his two sons, one named Li Wei and the other named Li Jie, were both in their twenties, but they were already experts in large-scale civil engineering.
However, Li Nangong had low moral character and married off all his daughters, but he didn't care about his thirty-year-old sister, and was fostered in the home of other sisters, and was impeached by the imperial history.
