367. July 14, 2nd year, sunny Rest for three days before making a decision
"Eight cylinders." Jin Ling'er played a card: "Come and give me a good card." ”
"Kong." Not long after Zuo Rou just learned to play mahjong, there was still a Qiaoyun sitting next to him as a staff officer: "Is this okay?" ”
"It's okay, you'll bloom in 20,000."
"Hahahaha......" Jin Ling'er picked up the cards in his hand: "The three are all in my hand!" ”
Zuo Rou took a card from behind the treasure card in a daze, just knocked on it with Qiaoyun, and immediately smiled, she clapped her hands and slapped the last 20,000 on the table: "Hahahaha, I'm together!" ”
"Oops...... Oops......" Jin Ling'er immediately leaned back in the chair and covered her stomach: "It hurts...... It hurts ...... here."
"Less, every time you can't win the card, it's a pain there, and I don't know if you're pregnant with a cub or a big chestnut, so scratchy?" Miao Yan took out the money from the small bag and began to calculate it to Zuo Rou: "I am willing to gamble and lose, but I can't do it." ”
"I've lost all afternoon...... Jin Ling'er pouted, "It's so boring." ”
Jin Ling'er moved back to the princess's mansion next door after returning from Song Beiyun, although the overall environment in the palace is better, but there is Song Beiyun here to take care of her at any time, she is now a key protected animal, and even when she goes out, Qiaoyun has to guard the whole process, and she is also very good at using her belly, which has taken advantage in the past few days, but in the end, the same trick is used too much, and now they don't eat this set very much.
But Song Beiyun eats, that's enough.
Xiao Song has been very busy these days, not only these days, but will be very busy for a period of time in the future, because the large-scale hydraulic loom has begun to overcome the final difficulties.
Another very important business is that the new third division of the Imperial City Division has also begun to breed several long-haired sheep for food crops, and this side is going on at the same time, and the little Song is still recruiting people.
No matter where you are, as long as you have reached mastery in a certain field, you can sign up and be hired with a high salary.
This news attracted a lot of skilled workers from all directions, including many farmers and blacksmiths, including the son of a big man, this person is Ding Siqing's eldest son, a young man who does not look so smart but likes to play with fire very much, named Ding Ru.
In the eyes of everyone, this Ding Ru is a guy who has gone crazy, his father is a Dali Siqing who can wrestle with the prime minister, but he doesn't even want to take a fame test, and he thinks about some crooked things all day long.
For example, he put all kinds of things in the fire and then carefully pondered what was left after burning, and he also liked to wonder why plant ash can be used as fertilizer, and even thought that grinding human bones and other animal bones into powder can make crops grow well.
This kind of person is simply a big waste in this era, because where in the world are there so many bones for him to farm?
But in Song Beiyun's eyes, this person is really a wild scientist, and if his spirit of exploration can be reused, he will definitely be a shocking talent in the future.
The scale of the workshop under the instruction of the Ministry of Industry, has now expanded again, standing on the Jinling city wall and looking down, the south of the city has been connected into a piece, the chimney is billowing smoke, everywhere is filled with the smell of rotten eggs, looking at the miasma, but the number of people working and living in it has reached nearly 10,000 people, and it is still expanding.
The Ministry of Industry attaches great importance to this place, and Lao Zhang is organizing some outstanding young officials of the Ministry of Industry to study in the workshop these days.
"Master Zhang, you are still amazing."
Song Beiyun and Lao Zhang stood on a scaffold in the workshop in their spare time, looking at the chimney in front of them, and both of them had the ultimate enjoyment in their eyes.
"Although I can't speak in the court, but in the end, the old man is also a book." The old man twisted his beard: "It is the old man's long-cherished wish to be able to watch the prosperous world in his lifetime." However, in the future, Lord Song will need to work hard, and all the old man can do is to have a good wind and wish you a blue sky. ”
"Hi...... Lord Shangshu, you are too modest, how can you rely on your strength, you have built a tower of Babel for me. ”
Song Beiyun looked ahead with emotion, in just half a year, this place has become such a scale, it is definitely not something he can do alone, Zhang Shangshu's credit is at least seventy percent, the authority of a Shangshu is there, he started to approve people and land, and the bigwigs in the DPRK and China will not embarrass him, and now he is relying on that golden ruler to start promoting the precision unit of the metric system throughout the country. For the grain, wine, weaving industry and other industries, the new ruler represents a new standard, small households can no longer be short of two, high doors can also avoid waste.
Merchants were the most sensitive people in the group of people, and they first responded to this system, and then the people gradually began to use the two-track system, that is, the unit of measurement of the size of the zhang and the unit of measurement of the meter centimeter were mixed together.
However, the official rice grain stores have begun to use the concept of the cubic meter [village] to measure grain, and the new weighing system is more accurate and easier to grasp than before.
During this period, the household department also carried out the promotion of the new grain system, and compared with the previous fighting system, the difference is not very large, but if the amount is large, the new measurement standard will allow the peasants to get about half a percent more money than before.
Farmers prefer to use the new system, which makes it necessary for those who still use the old system to switch to the new system.
In general, the birth of the new system can be said to have brought the standardization of the Great Song Dynasty to a new level.
In the words of Mr. Zhang, "those people don't understand, weights and measures are the cornerstone of the country."
"Let's go, Master Zhang, let's go and see the new weaving machine."
"Let's go."
The two of them came to the workshop of the hydro-powered loom, where three different models of looms were running, and dozens of young people were squatting there to carefully observe the operation of each loom.
The waterwheel pushes the power here through the rotary rod, and together with the torque conversion of the metal gears, the new textile machine is similar in principle to the old one, but the efficiency is no longer the same.
The daily capacity of a machine is nearly 100 times that of the most skilled spinning workers.
"Here are some of the young people to be praised by name." Song Beiyun pointed to the group of young people who were squatting or lying on their stomachs: "They spent a short time without sleep to observe and improve, and transformed the old-fashioned machine into its current appearance, and if there is no accident in the future, the first woolen mill in the Great Song Dynasty will be established before September." ”
"Okay." Zhang Shangshu stroked his palms and laughed, raised his legs and was about to walk in: "Wait for me to take a look." ”
"Wait." Song Beiyun took off two masks wrapped in oiled paper from the side and handed them to Zhang Shangshu: "This needs to be worn." ”
Lord Shangshu nodded, put on a mask and walked in according to Song Beiyun's appearance, although he was a little depressed, but it could be seen from the flocculent objects flying in the workshop that it would be troublesome not to wear it.
"My Da Song is people-oriented, and in the future, textile factories, coal mines, and asbestos mines will have special safety officers for pre-job training." Song Beiyun put on a cloth shoe cover and walked in with Zhang Shangshu: "Everyone, come and welcome Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry to inspect the work!" ”
Those young people bounced up from the ground at once, a little shy and cramped, although Zhang Shangshu often went to the math group in civilian clothes to play with the young people there, but this workshop was the first time he came, and the people here were also seeing Master Shangshu for the first time.
The leaders of the six departments and nine temples are all great officials, when will they, the sons of craftsmen, have the opportunity to meet such high-ranking officials? Although they are usually lively in front of Song Beiyun, now they all have dead faces.
"Yes, yes, they are all aspiring offspring, okay......" Lord Zhang sighed: "This is the pillar of my Great Song Dynasty!" Lord Song. ”
"The lower official is here."
"This official is the master for them, and every year you will evaluate the best person and send it to the Ministry of Industry, and make an exception to be an official!"
"Thank you, Lord Zhang, for your grace!" Song Beiyun thanked him, then turned around and kicked a few times in the buttocks of the young men who were still dazed: "Stunned!" Thank you, Lord Shangshu! ”
Seeing these real young men, Zhang Shangshu's eyes were moist, and he couldn't help but think of what he looked like when he was young, once upon a time he was also so wooden, but it was these wooden people who had the perseverance and perseverance to pull out this thing little by little, so that this thing that had never appeared before would run, scream, and roar!
"Lord Zhang, you can't just have this one department, other departments must also have this policy." Song Beiyun said with a smile: "But Lord Shangshu can rest assured, it is better to have a shortage than an excess, and the lower officials will only choose the best." ”
"Rest assured, there are many positions in the Ministry of Industry, and there is a shortage of good workers in the Great Song Dynasty, and there is a shortage of them all over the world!"
Zhang Shangshu smiled confidently: "I think that one day there will be a great worker who can sit in my position." ”
"Great goodness." Song Beiyun smiled: "Master Zhang, continue shopping?" ”
"Go."
After that, the two visited the glass workshop and the iron-smelting workshop, which were the most smoky, but when they saw the small car outside the workshop full of shiny and shining glass, Zhang Shangshu couldn't help but pick up a few pieces and play with them.
"This ...... I'm afraid it's better than the big cannibal glass? Lord Song, why don't you put it into the market? ”
"Lord Zhang, this thing is still a luxury in the Great Song Dynasty, and many businessmen in the Great Song Dynasty make a living from it, if they invest rashly, won't it cut off his life path?" Song Beiyun said with a smile: "You can't vote, you can't vote, and I'll think about it in the long run, besides, this glass is not only used as a plaything, but there are too many uses in the future." ”
Zhang Shangshu thought slightly, and glanced at Song Beiyun with a strange expression, no wonder this person can be criticized and rewarded by Zhao Xiang, how is this person's head long? It's just a delicate seven-trick heart.
"Lord Zhang, it's not too early, stay for a meal?"
"Is there a cafeteria here, too?" Zhang Shangshu still has some good feelings about the canteen of the Imperial City Division and the R&D Center: "If there is, go to the canteen to eat." ”
"Naturally, there is, otherwise how would you spend money like water."
