The backyard of Miyamoto's house.

The pulley block at the wellhead has been erected, and the boulders in the well are wound with iron chains, which are hooked to the main pulley.

The entourage moved the rattan chair, Wu Zhi fanned the folding fan, and lay on the rattan chair leisurely and sipping herbal tea, since the last time An Daoquan scared him Yang Yuan Buji would not lift, Wu Zhi finally reined in the grace of Suzuki Xinchun, these days to consolidate the foundation of Pei Yuan, the spirit is very good.

Ning Yuan, Song Jiang, Qin Hui, Han Shizhong, Liang Hongyu, An Daoquan and several students of Qingzhou Academy stood next to Wu Zhi in turn, everyone looked determined, only the old scholar Ning Yuan had a cold sweat on his forehead, he didn't believe that just a dozen people could rely on these iron wheels to pull up the boulder in the well.

"Master Wu, do you want to send a dozen more soldiers to help?"

The Great Song Dynasty mission had more than 100 elite guards, and at this time, Wu Zhi only sent a dozen people to pull the pulley, and it was Ning Yuan who had this proposal.

"Not necessarily." Wu Zhi shook the paper fan gently, "Lord Ning just have peace of mind, come here, show Lord Ning a seat." ”

Although Ning Yuan is only a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and his official position is much lower than Wu Zhi, who is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, he is much older than Wu Zhi after all, he is stable and generous, and he has a good reputation in the court, so Wu Zhi has always been very polite to him.

When it comes to the realm of Wu Zhi, looking at officials no longer cares about official positions, they only look at character and ability, and they can be promoted after their official positions are low.

"Thank you, Lord Wu."

Ning Yuan followed Wu Zhi to Japan, and along the way, he also knew Wu Zhi's style of saying the same, so he held back at this time and did not persuade again.

He only hoped that Wu Zhi would be able to make people shine again like the previous two gambling games, but when he tiptoed a little to look at the boulder in the well, he was desperate, and said that Master Wu was afraid that he would be planted this time.

"Miyamoto father and son are here."

After Han Shizhong finished speaking, Wu Zhi heard Miyamoto Yewang's contrived voice.

"Master Wu summoned my father and son, but he has already taken out the boulder from the well?"

Soon, Miyamoto Nobomi and Miyamoto Lang appeared in front of Takeshi with a group of retainers and samurai, accompanied by Suzuki Shinharu's father Suzuki Nobunaga, Suzuki Nobunaga is Takesue's person, but in Japan he naturally wants to be in the same camp as the Japanese.

After everyone saluted Wu Zhi, they looked into the well one by one.

"Oops! How can this be good?! ”

Miyamoto Ye saw that the boulder in the well was still there, and immediately behaved towards Wu Zhi, sighing: "There is still one last day left before the agreed seven days, why haven't Lord Wu and the envoys of the Heavenly Empire pulled the boulder out yet?" I thought that this matter would be difficult for you, but it's a pity. ”

"Huh! We can't pull this boulder out of a thousand people, and the Song envoy is not a god? ”

Miyamoto Nozomi pretended to be white-faced, and Miyamoto Wolf spoke very politely.

"Yes! There is one day left, and it is definitely impossible for you to pull the boulder out, so you might as well throw in the towel! ”

The retainers of the Miyamoto family glanced at the pulleys, and some of them who could speak Chinese also began to make mocking remarks.

Suzuki Nobunaga said a few words to the retainers with a serious expression in Japanese, and the retainers didn't say much, but their expressions were still a little unconvinced.

"Hehe~"

Meng Yu smiled and said to Miyamoto: "Miyamoto-sama is kind, the official understands it, but you don't have to worry, I called you here just to let you witness how the boulder was pulled out of the well." ”

When Miyamoto Yewang heard this, he couldn't help but look at the pulley group on Inoue, as well as the dozen or so Great Song guards who were holding ropes and preparing to pull the pulleys, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Oh, I see. Master Wu has a heart, in fact, as long as the adults pull the boulder out, there is no need to ask us to witness, and we will never dare to have a trace of doubt! Miyamoto continued, "Now that we're all here, let's start." ”

"Wait!" Miyamoto Lang said coldly: "Master Wu, it's only the time now, you start pulling the boulder now, do you want us to accompany you here for a day?" ”

After Miyamoto finished speaking, his retainers immediately nodded in agreement.

Suzuki Nobunaga also cautiously saluted Wu Zhi and said: "Yes, my lord, it's better to let my subordinates start pulling first, and then invite Miyamoto-sama and others at the last moment, and my lord can also go back to my house and let Chun'er serve you and rest!" ”

"Mr. Suzuki is right, we'll have to wait until we do it here!" Ning Yuan also said to Wu Zhi.

Qin Hui and Song Jiang also saw the pulley group for the first time, and they didn't know its speed, so they also agreed with Suzuki Nobunaga and Ning Yuan at this time, and they were also afraid that Wu Zhi would not be able to eat lunch in this messy courtyard until noon.

But when they thought about it again, how could they not take this into account? So they wittily chose silence so as not to appear impetuous.

Mixed with the first person in the Great Song Dynasty and the scholar Wu Zhi of Wenyuan Pavilion University, how could he not have a city government?

"You're worried!"

Wu Zhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "My equipment will definitely be able to take out the boulder before lunch, you just need to watch patiently from the side." ”

"Take it out before lunch?"

"How is this possible?"

As soon as Wu Zhi said this, Miyamoto's retainers talked about it a lot, but their expressions were full of contempt and disbelief, Miyamoto Lang also sneered, while Miyamoto Yewang squinted his eyes, trying to hide the contempt in his eyes.

"Okay, let's just watch it from the sidelines."

Miyamoto Ye Wang spoke, and those retainers suddenly fell silent.

"Master Wu, shall we start?"

Miyamoto Yewang and the others also stood on both sides of Wu Zhi in an orderly manner, and only Wu Zhi and Ning Yuan were sitting in the entire courtyard, and the others were standing on both sides.

Although Miyamoto Ye hopes that although they are fighting with Wu Zhiming, in the final analysis, it is also for the super fragrant bait of the gold mine, but they Japanese are still full of reverence for the Great Song Dynasty, which is prosperous in culture, prosperous in business, and elegant in etiquette.

Now that the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty are here, they are already very content.

This is the benefit of a fictitious position, with a high grade, it is an honorary title in the Great Song Dynasty, but as soon as you go abroad, you can immediately bluff a large number of people.

In the Great Song Dynasty, all the top officials at the prime minister's level will be awarded Wenyuan Pavilion or Zhaowenguan scholars, and this virtual position itself has no real power, but everyone who has this false position has the real power to oversee the dynasty.

However, the current Wu Zhi is an exception.

Since Wu Zhi made great contributions to the Jiangning Mansion Yin returned to Beijing, there is no real job except for this fictitious position, he is too young, although he has fully possessed the qualifications to enter the Eastern Mansion, but it is still a loss.

But if Japan can win the gold mine this time, then Wu Zhi will definitely pay homage to the prime minister when he returns to the court!

"Let's start!"

Wu Zhi nodded to Han Shizhong beside him, and Han Shizhong immediately motioned for the guards over there to start pulling the pulley.

Squeak squeak!

The pulley group began to be pulled, and everyone present stretched their necks to look at the wellhead, Song Jiang and An Daoquan also pointed and whispered to the pulley group, and they didn't know what they could understand.

Miyamoto Nobo and Miyamoto glanced at each other, although the two still didn't believe that Takeshi could pull the boulder up with this wooden frame and iron wheels, but at the moment when the pulley set turned, they were still scared.

Squeak squeak!

The pulley group continued to rotate, the pulley group was not struggling, and the dozen or so guards were getting faster and faster, and their expressions were also very relaxed.

After tea.

Seeing that the rope was pulled out for a lot of length, Miyamoto Lang and several retainers looked into the well, and saw that the boulder didn't seem to have changed much, they couldn't help but pull the corners of their mouths, showing smugness, and Miyamoto Lang also gave Miyamoto a look.

"Huh."

Miyamoto Nozomi narrowed his eyes and glanced at Takeshi secretly.

Wu Zhi was content.

But Ning Yuan, Qin Hui, Song Jiang and others beside Wu Zhi watched the rope pull out so much, and the boulder in the well still didn't move, and they couldn't help but start worrying, because they didn't have the concept of "moment" in their minds, so just watching the rope pull out, they didn't see any obvious movement in the boulder in the well, and they were naturally worried.

Syllable!

However, at this moment, a loose sound that was not too big sounded from the well, and someone immediately exclaimed: The boulder has moved!

Immediately, except for Wu Zhi, who was still sitting on the rattan chair and playing haha, everyone else ran to the well in a panic and surrounded the well.

"It's moving! It's moving! It's really moving! ”

"This boulder is actually rising little by little!"

"It worked!"

Everyone was shocked, Ning Yuan, Qin Hui, Song Jiang and other Song people were surprised and surprised, while Miyamoto Yewang and other Japanese people were frightened and frightened.

They looked at the pulley group with embarrassed faces, but they were puzzled, they really couldn't figure out why they used the boulder that hundreds of people couldn't pull before, and why after using these wheels, they could pull it with only a dozen people?

"It's called a pulley."

Wu Zhi snapped the paper fan, stood up with a smile, took another sip of tea and handed the teacup to the right side of his body, and his own student respectfully held the teacup for him.

"The pulley block is the knowledge in the second-year physics textbook of our Song Qingzhou College, which is to use the combination of pulleys to achieve the purpose of labor-saving, which can be applied to all aspects of life." Wu Zhi did not hesitate to confide in the secret of the pulley, "If you want to learn pulley and more advanced knowledge in Japan, welcome to study at our Great Song Qingzhou College!" ”

According to the thinking of the ancients, the "exclusive secret method" of the pulley set must not be easily passed on, but Wu Zhi actually took the initiative to invite the Japanese side to send students to Qingzhou University to learn "advanced knowledge", which made Miyamoto Nobo and others stunned again.

"The adults have a big mind, I can't wait for the dust!"

On the side, Ning Yuan couldn't help but sigh, Qin Hui, Song Jiang, Han Shizhong and the others all nodded heavily, looking at Wu Zhi's eyes full of admiration, even Liang Hongyu's eyes were full of pride, she was proud because this broad-minded martial arts official was her brother-in-law!

In fact, Wu Zhi is not broad-minded, if it is a technology involving armaments and the security of the Great Song Dynasty, he will definitely not leak it, but the basic physical knowledge like the pulley group, the more it is promoted, it will be of great benefit to the Great Song Dynasty and the whole world.

As civilian technology advances and productivity increases, commerce will be more promoted, everyone will have a better life, and there will be fewer wars.

"Thanks... Grace of Lord Xie Wu. ”

Miyamoto Yewang led the crowd to make a look at Wu Zhi, and their expressions were very complicated.

After the boulder in the well began to loosen, it was much faster to pull it up from behind, and the guards were full of energy, and in less than an hour they pulled the boulder up, and after pulling it up, they only needed to push it a little, and it was done.

"Miyamoto-sama, now that the three problems have been solved, have they?"

Seeing that the boulder had been pulled up, Wu Zhi unfolded the paper fan again and turned to look at Miyamoto Nobo.

Miyamoto Yewang sighed deeply, he was already convinced, and the rest of the retainers also sighed helplessly, and his son Miyamoto Lang was young and vigorous, and his face was still unconvinced, but now that Wu Zhi has solved three problems, they have to keep their promises.

Miyamoto had nothing to say, so he took the lead and left angrily.

Wu Zhi looked around and smiled.

"The dog is rude, Master Wu forgive me." Miyamoto Yewang bowed to Wu Zhi and the others, and then said, "Everyone, please follow me to the front hall, and we will sign the contract immediately!" ”

The first unequal treaty between China and Japan is about to be signed, and of course, in the eyes of everyone now, this is extremely unequal to Japan, according to the previous agreement, China only needs to pay a certain amount of paper money from the Great Song Bank every year, and it can completely own all the gold in the gold mine.

Exchanging paper for gold is a big loss no matter how you look at it.

But in fact, Wu Zhi did not pit Japan, the banknotes of the Great Song Bank now of course do not seem to be as good as gold, but in the future, the Great Song Bank will really rise, and begin to print and distribute paper money with the country's reputation, with the economic strength of the Great Song Dynasty, the banknotes of the Great Song Bank will be directly linked to gold.

At that time, the Japanese received the same value as gold, and they would never suffer a loss.

In fact, based on the relationship between Japan and China in later generations, it is not that Wu Zhi is a good man who does not want to cheat Japan, but that he is not a low-level means of taking advantage.

His ultimate goal was to determine the status of the banknotes in Japan, and in the future, the Bank would open a branch in Japan, and would issue banknotes in Japan, so that the banknotes would circulate throughout Japan and become irreplaceable banknotes in Japan.

The economic lifeline of the entire Japan is in the hands of him Wu Zhi, or the Great Song Dynasty.

In the future, if Japan is a little disobedient, Dasong Bank will be able to collapse Japan's domestic economy in minutes.

It was only a matter of time before the Japanese wolf was chained and domesticated into a dog.
