Chapter 28: When things go wrong, there must be demons
Fortunately, the Great Song Dynasty did not investigate environmental protection, otherwise this small kiln coke would have to punish Song An for bankruptcy.
Sure enough, as soon as the coke was put on the furnace, the quartz sand immediately melted into liquid!
When the quartz sand juice that flowed down naturally cooled into a large lump and showed a transparent color, the entire Shuibo Liangshan boiled.
"Brother Xiao An burned out the jewelry!"
Li Kui held the piece of glass high and shouted all over the cottage.
The people of the Song Dynasty had seen glass of different colors and impurities, but no one had ever seen the transparent and flawless glass, so they stopped their work to see what they were doing.
What do you like to be, anyway, Lao Tzu is going to be busier!
Closing the door of the study, he drew a drawing of the glass mold, the plan of the greenhouse wall, and the style of the keel of the greenhouse roof.
Then he went to find Tang Long, the leopard of money, and asked him to make 100 molds with a length and width of three feet and a depth of about one finger according to the mold drawing, and then make a greenhouse roof keel.
Immediately afterwards, he rushed into the room and picked up a roast chicken and hurriedly got on the boat and went out of the mountain, and got up early in the morning to go to Gongsun Sheng's glass smelting, and he didn't even have time to eat breakfast.
Outside the water, Daddy and his brothers were working with the minions.
Sure enough, there were more people and more than 100,000 people working together, and in only 12 or 3 days, the foundations of the hotel, medical hall, martial arts hall, and temple had already been built. At this rate, it will only take a month at most, just in time for winter to reach the top.
Song An showed the greenhouse wall plan to his father. Daddy immediately ordered 10,000 people to be assigned to build the greenhouse wall.
It takes people to burn glass, people to burn coke, and people to go to the back mountains to quarry quartz.
"Father, you will allocate another 3,000 people to me, 1,000 to build blast furnaces and smelt glass, 1,000 people to build kilns to burn coke, and 1,000 to go to Houshan to quarry quartz stone and grind it into sand!"
"Xiao Yi, Tie Niu, and Shi Jin, the three of you each bring a thousand minions to listen to Xiao An's dispatch!"
"It's my brother!" Yan Qing, Li Kui, and Gong Jin said in unison.
The blast furnace and coke kiln for refining glass were directly on the riverbank, and in one day's work, Song An taught the minions how to make glass and burn coke.
Early the next morning, he called Li Kui to drive the carriage out of the mountain to the county seat to buy vegetable seeds.
Although the small county town of the Northern Song Dynasty is not large, it is very lively. Restaurants, inns, shops, and brothels are lined up on both sides of the street, and there are often snack sellers, small merchants, and shaved heads on both sides of the road.
Among them, a man with a long bench on his shoulder shouted the loudest, and his voice could be heard in half of the county.
"Sharpen the scissors, the kitchen knife! …… Sharpen scissors, kitchen knives! ”
The two found a roadside stall that sold haggis soup, Song An drank two bowls of haggis soup, and Li Kui did five bowls!
Song An wrote a list of vegetables to buy, and there were more than 100 kinds of vegetables.
Entering a seed shop, Song An handed the list to the shopkeeper.
The old shopkeeper looked at it from top to bottom and from right to left for a long time: "Little guest officer, are all the names of vegetables written on your list?" ”
"Nonsense, what is not a vegetable?" Song An said assumedly.
"But how come I have so many unheard of? What peppers, potatoes, green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, peanuts, tomatoes, cabbage, zucchini, lettuce, cauliflower, onions...... What are these things? ”
Song Anmeng circled, could it be that the Song Dynasty didn't have these vegetables?
When I went to the three shops selling seeds in the whole county, there were none of the above vegetables.
asked Li Kui again, Li Kui shook his head or shook his head, indicating what peppers, potatoes and tomatoes, I have never heard of Tie Niu!
At this moment, Song An is a little envious of Yun Ye, the protagonist of "Tang Bricks", who traveled to the Tang Dynasty and brought a lot of fruit and vegetable seeds that the Tang Dynasty did not have.
Think about yourself, this is a great pity for a foodie. But who wouldn't have thought that he could really travel back in time to ancient times like the characters in the novel?!
Buy what you want!
The time to get busy passes the fastest.
After a month and a half of work, the restaurant, temple, medical hall, and martial arts hall were all capped. Song An's glass house greenhouse has also been built on more than 1,000 acres.
Based on the calculation of 200,000 people in the mountains with two catties of vegetables per person per day, the internal consumption alone will be at least 100 million catties of vegetables every year!
Vegetables can be planted four times a year, with three crops a year and an annual yield of 15,000 catties per mu.
The greenhouse project cannot be stopped for a moment, and Song An's goal is to build greenhouses on the fertile land along the 800-mile water, so that the land must be nearly one million acres, to say the least.
After another half a month, the tables, chairs and benches in the restaurant were all done, the gods and bodhisattvas, merit boxes, and Gongsun Sheng in the temple were also in place, all kinds of medicinal materials in the medical hall were also readily available, and the eighteen weapons in the martial arts hall were also alive. There are also greenhouses that have been built, and all kinds of vegetables are grown.
190,000 people were all involved in all aspects of the greenhouse project, and finally more than 20 days later, when the lake began to freeze slightly, a greenhouse of 12,000 acres was built. As soon as the weather is cold, there is no way to engage in construction, so I can only wait for the beginning of spring next year to continue.
The whole 11,000 acres of greenhouses, a long dragon entrenched along the shore of Shuibo, looks magnificent.
In just one day's work, 190,000 people sowed dozens of vegetable seeds of 200,000 catties into 12,000 acres of greenhouse land.
Many of the seeds planted half a month ago have already sprouted.
It was bleak and cold outside, but it was as warm as spring in the greenhouse, staying inside, and Song Jiang and the brothers couldn't close their mouths.
At the back of the greenhouse, which was designed by Song An, was an adobe wall more than two feet thick and six meters high, and above the head was a keel made of cast iron, in which each piece of glass was inlaid and caulked with glutinous rice juice mixed with triple soil. The entire glass canopy is sloped to ensure optimal daylight.
As soon as the sun sets, the greenhouse's minions climb up the adobe wall and cover the glass ceiling with straw mats rolled into a tube, which is then lifted when the sun comes out to keep the seeds warm and prevent the seeds from being frozen.
Hua Rong reported: "Brother Xiaoan, the 100 brothers who practiced the art of flying with paragliders have all been able to rise 100 meters into the air and fly 50 miles in a single flight!"
"Good! It's time to count down the lives of Gao Yu, Tong Guan, Cai Jing, and Yang Jian! ”
Four charcoal braziers were lit in the Zhongyi Hall, and one hundred and eight generals and Song An entered and took their places.
Today's topic is: On which day to "bomb" the mansions of the four thieves in Bianshangjing, Gao Yu, Tong Guan, Cai Jing, and Yang Jian.
Everyone opened the chatterbox, some said that they would be rightaway immediately, some said that they could do it any day, and some said that they would choose an auspicious day for the zodiac...... In short, there are different opinions.
In fact, according to Song An's meaning, it doesn't matter which day you choose, as long as you choose to fly to the vertical arch hall of the early dynasty in the Bianshangjing Palace with a paraglider in the morning, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and what Gao Yu Tong Guan Cai Jing and Yang Jian are all inside, together with Zhao Ji's faint monarch, it will be over! After all, there are only a handful of good officials above the court.
He agrees with Chen Daoming's version of "Kangxi Dynasty" in which Kangxi reprimanded his ministers: ...... The trouble in the heart of the Qing Dynasty is not outside, but in the imperial court, and it is in this Qianqing Palace! It's among my flesh and blood princes and ministers! If we are rotten, the Qing Kingdom will be rotten! If you are all rotten, all parts of the Qing Dynasty will rise up, leaving us dead with no place to bury!
The current situation of the Great Song Dynasty is aptly described by this passage: most of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs are rotten, and the south and north of the Yangtze River are full of wolf smoke. Although the two emperors of Hui and Qin were later taken away by foreign Jin people, the culprit who led to such a situation was the emperor himself and his civil and military officials in the vertical arch hall!
The external force is only a small part, and one's own blind tossing is the root cause of destruction!
Throughout the five thousand years, Xia Wei is like this, Shang is like this, Zhou Youwang is like this, Qin II is like this, Sui Yang Emperor is like this, Song Huizong is like this, Zhu Youzhen, Cixi and later generations are also like this!
……
Isn't that the case with the demise of every dynasty?
But if he really wanted to blow it up, Daddy would definitely not agree to anything.
When he first crossed over, Song An saw with his own eyes that the moment his father released Gao Yu, he had the urge to slap his father to death.
But after the communication between father and son, Song An really realized his father's good intentions, and his father really loved him very much.
In the 21st century, he has never felt what fatherly love is, and coming here has made him truly feel fatherly love. Although he is a seventeen-year-old body and a forty-year-old heart, he is still completely moved by his father's fatherly love.
He wants to help his father get out of the predicament and give Shuibo Liangshan a good fate. This is the mission he secretly swore in his heart!
After some discussion, they finally agreed to act on the first day of the new year!
Because to ensure that the four thieves are caught all at once, it is necessary to wait for all four of them to be in their own mansion.
And there are only two such opportunities a year, once for the Mid-Autumn Festival and once for the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Because in the past two days, the court did not go to court on vacation, so the civil and military officials went home to reunite with their wives and children.
