Chapter 1010 Su You's unreliable

There are also many raw ores in the gifts, and the South China Sea is a rich mining area, with a very rich variety of ores, and some of them also have gemstone properties, which are expensive tributes and commodities.

Zhao Zongyou also prepared a picture album for the children, which is a geographical introduction to the new Song Zhou, this year, the Jintan Wu Geography Team found a passage through the mountains to the east of the New Song Zhou, and found a treasure land with wind and rain harmony, suitable climate, and fertile and gentle land.

It is not known how large the area is now, but the known area is larger than that of Western Xia.

As soon as Zhao Zongyou arrived in Bianjing, he was summoned into the palace by Zhao Xu, and Su You didn't see anyone when he came over.

Zhang San and Zhang Qi, who were traveling with the fleet, were also too busy to see anyone.

And Qian Yi took Tang Shenwei to Kaifeng Mansion to visit Qian Zao, the Qian family is a big family, and there are many things to do during the New Year, and the head of the family, Qian He, asked him to bring some messages to Qian Zao.

Sitong seafood boat also brought a large ship of seafood this time, and now all of them are raised in large porcelain seawater tanks, and there is a boiler circulating water treatment system on the side of the Sanhua Building to purify seawater.

After cracking the secret of the salt content of seawater and the filtration and oxygenation system, seafood can live longer in Bianjing City.

However, winter is more troublesome, so the seafood in winter mainly comes from the north around Zhangzi Island and Deer Island, and garlic shark fin scallops can be sold for 300 yuan a piece in the scattered flower building.

Lifu in Bianjing City gets a day, and eating a scallop is not enough.

Oysters, abalone is more expensive, a live oyster, the value of ten times that of dried oysters, and the most popular way to eat is to fish out of the white porcelain jar and eat it raw.

However, there is no price problem here in Su You, so he took out a folding knife and opened one for the flat can and Wang Yanbi like opening a can, so that they could try it.

The aquarium is filled with the fishy smell of marine fish, and merchants are significantly more interested in frozen and dried goods than in raw seafood, for the simple reason that they cannot afford it.

The taste of fish sauce is not as sweet as oyster sauce, a little fishy, but the price is much cheaper, and there is a lot of salt in it, for the common people, it is more cost-effective than buying oyster sauce, and it is the favorite of middle- and lower-class housewives.

Spices, expensive can't afford to buy, but such as star anise, three naphthalene, bay leaves, cinnamon, grass fruits, these are abundant in the south, now the transportation is convenient and the water transport is accessible, plus a big foodie for decades as a day of hard promotion, sales in the winter of Bianjing City is huge.

There are a lot of smart people, and the secret of Shaobao Thirteen Incense has been cracked by those who have a heart, and now the Song people are exaggerating one by one to Haikou and the other are exaggerating bigger, and there are those who dare to sell Thirty Incense on the small carts in Beijing.

Bacon and sausages have become a must-do item for housewives in winter, and the skillful housewives have even explored ham sausages and luncheon meat, which are much more delicious than those from Shaanxi, and compared with those made at home and bought outside, the proportion of meat is much higher, the taste is much better, and it is much more reassuring to eat for their own babies.

These things are inseparable from the extensive use of cheap spices, and the official family is benevolent and virtuous, and all these things have been eliminated from the spice specialty, and the price has been reduced a lot.

In fact, this thing is still specialized, and it is really specialized, but the people in Bianjing City don't know it.

The previous autocratic system of the Great Song Dynasty was actually semi-expropriated, such as copper, and the difference between its purchase price and real value was more than ten times, which was undoubtedly a cruel exploitation and exploitation of smelters, and a naked way of plunder.

Since the popularization of the industrial production method of wet copper smelting, the raw copper of the Great Song Dynasty has surged, coupled with the widespread use of treasure money, the government no longer has to spend a lot of effort to scavenge for copper, and the appearance of eating has become less ugly.

After Wang Anshi investigated the copper mine production in the Tongling area in Jiangning Mansion, he wrote to Zhao Ji and did something that the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty could not think of - the copper ban!

And Zhao Ji was so bold!

Almost overnight, hundreds of thousands of smelters got out of poverty and entered the subsistence industry, and the root of the copper ban was that copper, a metal, in addition to the national reserves, became a commodity! The government purchase price and the market price have become the same level.

The metal trade suddenly became prosperous, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty had not used bronze for decades, and a small amount of Dali copper and South China Sea copper and Japanese copper could not fill the huge hungry market of the Great Song Dynasty.

Then Zhao Ji found that in the past, the government was crazy about regulation and squeezing, and the copper obtained every year was not as good as completely opening up the market and reasonably purchasing more from smelters.

In recent years, the government has hoarded a large amount of copper materials, and has enough confidence to regulate copper prices and market supply, and the income here can catch up with the income of the past year's production.

This kind of operation of holding a large number of materials, earning back and forth between long and short, and gaining fame makes Zhao Ji very comfortable, which is the huge difference between living water and dead water.

WANG ANSHI SAID IN A SECRET FOLD TO ZHAO WEI THAT THIS WAS HIS HARVEST FROM STUDYING ZHANG FANGPING'S "FINANCIAL THEORY" IN JIANGNING MANSION IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, AND AT THE SAME TIME QUIETLY CALLED SU YOU, YOUR MAJESTY, SU MINGRUN HAS ALREADY DISCUSSED THIS, AND GAVE A PROPER AND VERY APPROPRIATE ECONOMIC TERM - MACROECONOMIC CONTROL.

Considering that his reputation is now not good in the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi didn't dare to make a clear decision, afraid of those mallets that are not right for people, and all those who he agrees with are all opposed, but it will increase the resistance to Su You in the court.

Therefore, I only dared to secretly say in the secret fold that Lao Wang was heartbroken for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty.

Encouraged by the great benefits after the ban on the copper government, Zhao Ji was ready to deepen the reform and officially announced that the monopoly on the salt industry, the tea industry, the liquor industry, the low-grade spice monopoly, and the low-grade silk monopoly that had existed in name only would be abolished!

As soon as these virtues and policies were announced, the Song Dynasty and the opposition all shouted for Shengming.

However, in private, Zhao Ji has already quietly completed the control of these industries through the Sitong trade name, and even includes the layout of many new strategic industries.

It's still the same sentence, there is food in the hand, there is no panic in the heart, the big cake is already in the hand, and then the scrap is thrown out to activate the market to attract the fish in the fish pond, this hand, than the previous means of forcing the people to death, is obviously much more advanced.

Who is the credit, Zhao Ji also knows in his heart that the royal industry and Sitong have not used all the technical reserves and economic means at all, otherwise, I don't know how many industry workshops will have to go out of business.

This is also very in line with Zhao Ji's psychology, supporting all walks of life and slowly releasing technology, which is completely a mentality of a big family with a baby.

Zhao Ji doesn't understand science and engineering, but he feels that this is the right thing an emperor should do.

Fortunately, God gave the royal family a science and engineering wizard Zhao Zongyou, gave the Great Song Dynasty a Su You, a Su Xiaomei, and several colleges, and now the talents in the clan are the most prosperous except for Shuzhong.

The steamboat is a joke, and Zhao's performance is a little exaggerated.

But the steam engine is not a joke, an arsenal in Songshan, Zhengzhou, has successfully developed a power machine that can be put into practical use, according to Chen Zhaoming's report, the efficiency and stability of the machine tool has surpassed the water transportation machine tool, the processing efficiency of the barrel, the accuracy of rifling drawing has great significance.

This alone is enough to make Zhao Ji pay attention to it, and it also makes Zhao Ji a little worried about Su You's unreliability in this regard.

Su Mingrun is indeed very capable, but the problem with this Aiqing is that he often points out some important inventions to inexplicable places.

For example, chemical purification was initially to obtain purer salt; For example, fermentation biotechnology targets all kinds of spices; For example, ductile casting and cold forging were originally intended to get a suitable wok; For example, the fine sieve, the preparation of thirteen spice powder is really easy to use.

The thermometer was invented to hatch eggs;

The micrometer was invented to make folding knives;

Artificial insemination is a miracle technique that was first used to expand pig farms; Such an important equipment as the steam engine was originally to pull live sea fish to Bianjing!

The magic machine and the wheel are originally to please his own martial wife!
