Chapter 936: Detailed Diagram of Foresight

After speaking, he pointed to the rice in the field: "This is just the beginning, don't forget that the climate is impermanent, in the past five years, most of them are one abundant, two flat, and two owed." ”

"If there is no foresight, there will be near-term worries, and if there is no small picture, it will be a great trouble. The household has accumulated for three years, but it has just had the lowest ability to resist risks, and the household accumulation has been five years, and the official warehouse has been enriched to fully resist ordinary disaster years. ”

"Also, in a few years, I believe that Your Majesty will have something to do with the north, and it will be a big waste of money and food, and it will be difficult to take care of both the north and the south."

"Nanhai County is thousands of miles away, but stability is crucial."

"At least we must use the grain of one county to meet the needs of the four counties, so that the three counties can fully develop industry and commerce and make profits for the imperial court."

"It is necessary to feed the Ning Navy, and also to supply the sea merchants who come and go, and ensure the smooth trade routes, so as to maintain this good situation and prevent recurrence."

"Cunzhong, Elder Jia, the burden on your shoulders is still very heavy......

Shen Kuo is very confident: "Don't be afraid, even if the imperial court immigrants don't arrive for a while, now we have mastered the breeding technology of ploughing cattle and mules and horses." This year, Meizhou Road can have 20,000 more livestock, and if I am given another three years, I will be able to have cattle in every household! ”

Su You said with a smile: "I will give you everything I can give you, now there are more elephants in Meizhou than in Jiaozhi, but you rely on water for transportation here, and it is estimated that you will not be able to use it soon, when will you pay me back?" ”

Shen Kuo looked at him left and right, and forcibly changed the topic: "There are more places where elephants can be used, and they must be used to open roads in the jungle to pull wood...... I heard that there are more than 1,000 cows in your vocational farm this year? ”

Su You twitched the corner of his mouth, starting from Liangzhejiang Road, Shen Cunzhong relied on the accounts, and he became accustomed to it.

After seeing the rice fields, a few people came down to the city, and in the government office, officials at all levels lined up and waited under the stairs outside the main hall.

Most of the officials in Meizhou are elected officials who have not been waiting for official positions for a long time, and even convicted officials.

Now when I see Su You, I am all happy to participate in the court.

This is a crooked trend, Cai is indeed upright, and he refused to participate in the court in Shaanxi back then, thinking that everyone is a civil servant, and His Majesty's wage earners are just different in the division of labor, and there is no distinction between high and low.

As a result, he was thrown on a cold bench to dry, and it was not reactivated until Su You, who didn't care about these things, arrived.

But it's not appropriate to pour cold water on everyone when they're happy, after all, science still pays attention to human feelings, and slowly guide it.

The yamen finally has some weather, with white walls and green tiles, and drums, trumpets and flags.

It can be seen that Shen Kuo is still an official fan, and after being promoted to a road-level cadre, he can't wait for a day.

In the large patio of His Majesty, the floor is paved with the same color of tiles.

Su You can see the trick at a glance, this is a square brick cast with cement, and then when it is not yet dry, use a wooden mold to press out the pattern, and then brush the pure cement slurry on the mortar, so that the surface is delicate and smooth, it is estimated that Shen Kuo also let people use straw to grind roughly.

Now it is laid out like this, and it is more magnificent than the Jiaozhou Fourth Road Transfer Division.

Changing to a stingy official, Shen Kuo is afraid that he will be rectified again.

Fortunately, Su You, as long as you have political achievements and love to put on a show, it is your private affair and a personal hobby.

Although I don't approve or discourage, as long as you don't overstep the system and don't embezzle, then you can be happy, I don't care.

In addition to a group of officials, there are also several representatives of Chenla.

Fan Shizhe is an old friend, and in addition, there are several officials who take care of the business for King Zhenla.

Su You smiled and saluted him: "I've seen the national teacher, by the way, this time my friend from the Erlin Department created a thin gift for the master, not a tribute, and I hope to smile." ”

This is a string of rosary beads, which were made from a red agate that has just been discovered.

In fact, it is the southern red of later generations, one of the most precious, the color is like persimmon, and the coral is somewhat similar, but the texture is finer than the coral of the South China Sea, which is quite popular with religious people today.

Although you can buy a lot of gems from neighboring countries, you can't really see this one.

Fan Shizhe couldn't help but be overjoyed, bowed down and said, "I didn't expect Lord Shaobao to pay attention to the little monk, it's really unbearable." ”

Su You said: "This time I went to see His Majesty in tribute, and the harvest was greater, right?" ”

Fan Shizhe smiled very sincerely: "Thanks to Shao Baoyan, after sorting out the household registration of the Zhenla map, His Majesty thinks that Zhenla is also a great domain, and the reward is different from the rest of the envoys." ”

Now the Great Song Dynasty has a clearer grasp of the situation in the South China Sea countries, and has a clear understanding of the strength of each country and the size of its territory.

Some distinctions have been made between the larger countries of Sriwijaya, Boni, Bagan, and Chenla, and the rest of the smaller countries such as Mayi, Luzon, Jhambe, and Japo.

At the very least, when the canonization was made, the king and the county king were no longer messing around.

This is a typical case of cultural aggression, the Great Song Dynasty was obviously stealing information on the national strength of the countries in the South China Sea, and the neighboring countries also enthusiastically provided convenience, allowing the science and engineering team to enter the national border to conduct surveying and mapping, conduct surveys, and also open up the national household registration files.

Of course, it's okay if you don't provide it, Da Song is not forced.

But I don't know your family background, and the Great Song Dynasty doesn't want you to join the "South China Sea Agreement", which will be unfair to other countries, do you think this is the truth?

The number of countries participating in the "South China Sea Agreement" has also expanded to more than 30, and the merchant ships of these countries have been issued licenses by the Ningbo Navy Municipal Shipping Department, and they must also be marked in a conspicuous position on the side of the ship, and they are allowed to fly the flag of the Great Song Dynasty, and their treatment is also different from that of other ordinary merchants.

However, their ships are too slow, and they are generally the wholesale ships of the wealthy merchants, and more scattered merchants such as Pu Shan would rather take the Kuizhou type of the Song Kingdom, which is spacious, comfortable, and safe, not to mention, and most importantly, good food.

Even a first-class foreign gentleman, who does not do any business, is pure tourism and pure consumption, and takes a Song boat to a villa purchased by himself in Halong Bay for a ridiculous period of time, and takes his favorite concubine to buy luxury goods in the duty-free shop of Ningbo Haijun City, which can even become a fashion.

Li Shunju deliberately got a Hangzhou type to do this, which was extremely luxurious, and the big casino was making money every day, imitating the custom name of "traveling" in Shuzhong, and named it "Shenzhou of the Sea".

The end point of this ship is Yunzhou, and the interior of the Great Song Dynasty cannot go, even so, it has made the soil buns on the Maritime Silk Road cry heaven.

Su You couldn't make this amount of money, but it didn't prevent him from giving Li Shun this idea.

Zhao Ji was too pitiful, and was stimulated by the discovery of New Song Zhou, and as soon as his head was hot, he customized three Hangzhou-type large ships from Hangzhou Shipyard.

Zhao Zongyou went to New Songzhou and felt that this ship was not very suitable for scientific research.

The research ship does not need to be too big, and the Kuizhou type, which can carry a load of 200 tons, is enough for use.

The best match is one main and one pair of two Kuizhou types, plus five Meishan types with a load of 100 tons.

There will always be losses in exploration, and not putting all your eggs in one basket is the way to go.

Therefore, Zhao Ji waved his hand again and spent 20,000 yuan to build a scientific research fleet in Yezhou, and three Hangzhou-type, one was given to the City Ship Division, and two were transferred to the Ning Navy for use.

Now it's okay, plus the two ships customized by the Ning Navy itself, the Wuyue fleet is ready.

The new research vessel enlarged the sail hull for higher speeds, and the reason why the price is so high is because of the high-quality wood from the Indochina Peninsula.

Now this fleet is also repairing in Meizhou, Zhao Zongyou used this fleet to complete the challenge of the westerly wind belt in the southern hemisphere, and finally realized the whole coastline map in the third year of the discovery of New Songzhou.

Despite cautiously approaching the coastline, the fierce westerly winds took a toll on the fleet, and a Meishan-type ran aground and sank, and only 27 of the 40 members of the expedition were rescued and 13 gave their lives.

However, this expedition has a further understanding of the wind and current belts in the southern hemisphere, and the research fleet has brought back the special product of the Xuanhu River - gold.

The soldiers of Xuanhu City have mined more than 8,000 taels of gold there in a year, while the hoarding army of Minggu Island has refined 500 tons of mirror iron.

The fleet changed sails and rigging in Meizhou, and Shen Kuo, a master of cartographing, was recently working with Zhao Zongyou to calculate the specific area of New Songzhou.

Su You has also joined in, and the specific area is still being actuarial, but most of the numbers have already come out, and 7.5 million square kilometers are enough!

This land surrounded by the sea is even bigger than the Great Song Dynasty!

The aborigines above are still in the three generations period, and the number is very small, that is to say, it can become the backyard of the Great Song Dynasty!

The mainland has not yet been surveyed, but three good things have been found in three places - manganese ore on the peninsula west of Minggu Island, gold mine in Xuanhu City, and towering eucalyptus forests outside Jintan, which can extract countless camphor!

The geography and climate around Xuanhu City are very suitable for the Song people, the water quality is excellent, the soil is fertile, the wheat fields planted by the soldiers yield 300 catties per mu, the forage is abundant, and the cattle, sheep and horses are extremely fat.

The sergeants who changed shifts this time brought back five taels of gold per person, and exchanged them for fifty taels in Sitong Bank, and they were having fun in Meizhou.

As a soldier, this is not a big victory.

Many of the Gu family's sergeants decided to take the money to change jobs on the spot in New Song Zhou, so after Zhao Zongyou returned to Beijing this time, he also had to take the families of the sergeants to Xuanhu City for resettlement.

But that should be half a year later.

In the custom of Champa and Chenla, the king goes down to the ground and cuts the first bunch of rice, and then everyone can open the sickle.

This is a traditional ceremony, the fathers and elders came to invite each other, and wanted Xiao Su to explore the flowers and bloom the first sickle.

Su You agreed, brought Shen Kuojiao, and Zhao Zongyou of the clan, and held an opening ceremony on the outskirts of Meizhou.
