Chapter 114: Deliberation

Several old men of the Shi family all led the false title of a six-rank court, so Su You stepped forward to greet the female elders first: "Boy Su You, I've seen Anren." ”

Anren took Su You's hand: "Ouch, why do you also have calluses on your hands, and there are a few more than Wei'er." ”

Su You smiled: "The one on the middle finger is sharpened by the pen barrel." ”

Anren sighed: "It's not easy. There is a legend in the township about the reincarnation of Deng Hou, I don't believe it, just like our family Wei'er, she has the ability to work hard to grind. ”

Shi Kuan was a little impatient: "The old woman knows that there are important things to discuss with Mingrun." ”

An Ren gave him a blank look: "Then let's finish recognizing people first." ”

The next thing is to meet Tuan Tuan, there are many people in the big family, remember that Su You is dizzy.

After the ceremony, everyone dispersed, and Su You had the opportunity to talk to a few family heads.

Shi Kuan said with a smile: "Mingrun, the salt money exchanged for the second forest department, we have all exchanged it for salt, and the matter of refining snow salt, you see ......."

Su You said: "This process is actually not complicated, just hand it over to the children of the Land Temple." By the way, I heard that Meizhou also has salt. ”

Shi Kuan said with a smile: "There are many salt lands in Sichuan, but the biggest ones are the Lingjing Supervisor on Yizhou Road, the Fushun Supervisor on Zizhou Road, the Shujing Supervisor, the Daning Supervisor on Kuizhou Road, the Yun'an Supervisor, and the Yongchang Supervisor. Our Meizhou can only be regarded as a small fight. ”

"The six eunuchs provide the imperial court's class quota a year, at least 500,000 guan, and the few salt wells in my Meizhou add up to 30,000 guan."

Su You said with a smile: "The salt banknotes of the Second Forest Department were issued by Fushun Supervisor, and there is a lot of freight along the way, right?" ”

Shi Kuan said: "I am about to discuss this matter with Mingrun, this year's new policy of the imperial court, ready to buy Yanjing, are you interested in participating in a share?" ”

Su You was surprised: "Such a good thing, why do you want to share it with me?" ”

Shi Kuan said with a smile: "Didn't you call the general's sister sister of the Second Forest Department affectionately?" In her place, your face is probably bigger than the four of us combined! ”

"Twenty or thirty thousand pieces of salt, in the eyes of the four of us, it's actually the same thing, even if you turn them all into snow salt, it's only thirty or forty thousand, what we value is actually-"

"Copper! The copper of the second forest department! ”

"Hahaha, talking to smart people is worry-free, you see that now brass and white copper can be done, and the processing has also been made simple by you, so we want to wrap the salt well ourselves and eat the copper material supplied by the Erlin Department completely! That's a big deal! ”

Su You thought about it for a while: "Brother, it is always a suspicion to eat copper, I think so, there is no problem with salt mining, that is where the transaction capital lies." In terms of details, can the copperware be processed directly in the territory of the Second Forest Department and then transported in? In this way, they can enter the field in a dignified and honest manner, without suspicion of private smelting. ”

Shi Fu said: "Then the smelting method of brass and white copper, I'm afraid it won't be kept secret for long." ”

Su You disagreed: "We want to figure out the essence of the matter, first of all, we want to introduce copper into the Great Song Dynasty, and secondly, we want to sell our products. ”

"Besides, the Second Forest Department controls the business road, we are like a pond, they are like a ditch, if they don't open the gate, the water in the pond will not be alive."

"There is also that they have no technology, their copper will appreciate, without our technology can not be, the key materials and technologies are in our hands, such as water glass, that is a good thing to prevent the collapse of the mine, such as punches, the artifact of suppressing copper embryos, they are impossible to build, do you expect the people of the second forest department to invent a lathe to make a lead screw?"

Shi Fu thought about it for a while: "That's good, when the time comes, I will convey the meaning to a few families, and I will follow this method, Erlin Department, I was really born in a good place!" You have to rush to make them rich. ”

Su You said with a smile: "The resources belong to others, so we can only provide technical cooperation, which is called cooperation and mutual benefit." However, it is not without benefits to my Great Song Dynasty, we can also send people to follow the caravan, and grasp the geography and humanities of many situations in the southwest and Dali clearly, and the news can be exchanged in a timely manner, and we can also avoid the joke of closing the city gate due to rumors. ”

Shi Kuan arched his hand: "Mingrun's words show that the vision is coming, and it is a bit of a taste that will help the world at the same time." ”

Su You said with a smile: "I just don't know if the eight princes will let me out, otherwise I really want to go to the Erlin Department to have a look and help them see if there is anything that can be improved in mining technology." ”

Shi Fu waved his hand: "You better think about those salt wells first, otherwise people can't afford to buy copper when they send it, and then it will be cheap for the wealthy merchants in Jiayi and Jiayi Prefectures!" ”

Su You smiled: "Speaking of this, I am really confident. ”

What are you kidding, now when it comes to salt mining, it is Zigong, but I don't know that the name of Jingyan County in Damei Mountain comes from several salt wells.

What is Iken? It was the salt production that once forced the Zigong salt merchants to almost jump off the building, and finally lobbied the government to use molten iron to block the boundary of the wellhead!

When I think of the government, I think of something: "Can you discuss with the state and county, and use the method of Qufang to buy salt wells this time?" ”

This Shi Kuan and Shi Fu are not very clear, and after Su You explained, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed: "According to production? Then we have suffered a big loss? ”

Su You said: "In the preliminary physics, there is a theorem of conservation of energy, and the same is true of personnel. What you get with a small amount of money is easy to be taken away by others with a small amount of money. Only by letting the government, the family, and the people benefit from this matter, can our well be iron-clad. Don't give anyone an excuse to encroach. ”

"If everyone agrees, I will also give you a guarantee, that is, the income of each family will not be less than the net profit of several large wells now!"

The family didn't expect how much money the salt itself could make, and the copper in exchange was the big one, but now Shi Kuan heard Su You say that the profits in this salt are also quite rich, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Virtuous nephew, is this matter serious?" ”

Su You said with a smile: "Really, but you have to trouble the rich old man first, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and your horsetooth inlay should come in handy again!" ”

After discussing this matter, Shi Wei was already sitting impatiently: "Brother Xiaoyou, let's go outside to play!" ”

The bow is the opposite. Brotherly marriage, no one is far away.

Zhu Xi's biography explains this sentence: "Horn bow, decorate the bow with horns." "That's because he doesn't understand the science of the horn bow, which is not just a decorative function.

The Chinese composite recurve bow is a legend in the world's bow and arrow, the smallest volume gets the maximum shooting energy, energy storage system, shockproof stabilization system, everywhere is the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors for thousands of years.

The bows and arrows of the Shi family are all of the highest grade, typical of the bows and arrows of the southern school, dry, horn, tendon, glue, silk, lacquer, and the selection of six materials are quite particular.

Maintenance alone is a kung fu job, Shi Wei led Su You into the kitchen and opened a wooden box on the side of the stove: "The bow at home is kept here for drying and maintenance on weekdays, this is my bow." ”

After saying that, he took a small bow from inside.

Shi Wei began to wind the bow, her small bow is made of rock mulberry, the inner surface is pasted with cow tendons, sandwiched with bamboo skin, wrapped in fish skin, and the two ends are sandwiched with buffalo horns.

The bowstring is made of deer tendons torn into thin strips and wrapped with silk thread, which is very hard but elastic, and the silk thread is not wrapped from top to bottom on the string, but is divided into three sections, which can be folded and carried at ordinary times.

The small bow is U-shaped, and when winding, you must first straighten the U-shape, and then continue to force it into a recurve, and the energy accumulated per unit length is not comparable to other bows.

The ancients were relatively chaotic in terms of the number of statistical units, the strength of the bow, the carrying capacity of the wooden boat, and the weight of the grain, all of which were stones and buckets, but there were differences.

In the same way, the consistency when buying cattle, the consistency when buying horses, and the consistency when buying ordinary goods, the prices paid are also different, and they are not from the guilds, and you are not negotiable.

In fact, this is not for the Song people to exaggerate or whatever, it is just a habit of use, and even scholars have fallen into the pit in later generations, so as to judge indiscriminately. In fact, it is not reading widely, or learning without thinking.
