Chapter 878: Clay Sculpture Imperial Court
From this year onwards, it was obviously much colder in previous years, and the inside and outside of Biandu were covered in ice and snow, and the soldiers guarding the front of the hall in the various yamen of the city were so cold that they couldn't stretch their bodies, and they put their hands in their sleeves and arms, holding knives and guns, trembling and stamping their feet.
Minami Kaoru Gate.
Anyone who entered and exited the city gate could see several officials gathered together, touching each other with cups and saying goodbye, and not far from this group of officials, there were two errand officials, who were staring at the person who was being sent off with a helpless face.
The natives of Biandu have seen too many such scenes, and most of the people outside Nanxun Gate have been demoted out of Beijing, and the people who were sent off must have offended the powerful and were demoted out of Beijing.
Especially the people of the age don't care about this at all, in the memories of these people, from the Xining period of the Shenzong Dynasty to the Shaosheng period of the Zhezong Dynasty, the scene of being demoted out of Beijing is now mostly exaggerated, and the officials who were degraded are not one by one but one by one.
Chen Lingyuan said goodbye: "Brother Song, it is thousands of miles away to Guangnan, you should be careful on the road!" ”
Li Gang also nodded: "Song Jun's trip is particularly glorious!" ”
"Brother Song, take care!" Yuxu is also > words
……
A group of people said goodbye to those who were demoted from Beijing.
The person who was sent away thanked him: "Brother Li, Brother Yu, Brother Chen......"
"The way of heaven is vast, and my generation is not lonely!" When the farewell man was just halfway through his words, a voice came from the city gate, and then he saw a man with a light fur coming down from the carriage, and said with a smile: "Le is late, and I almost missed the farewell!" ”
"Lord Lehou!"
The voice attracted a group of people, and they immediately bowed their hands in unison.
"It's been half a year since Le's title was taken away, don't call it anymore!" Lotte waved his hand, said hello to Li Gang and Yuxu, walked in front of the person who was sent off, and said: "There are many people who can see the situation clearly, but there are only one or two who dare to speak, and the loyalty of Brother Song's righteousness is un......matched by no one."
Song Zhao, from the Qipin Dynasty Sanlang, in September to admonish the disadvantages of the Jin Dynasty Liao, was hated by Zhao Ji Wang Huang, Zhao Ji even issued an edict to remove his fame and suspend his official position, and exile Guangnan to organize and manage.
Guangnan is also the southern part of Guangdong and Guangxi, in the Song Dynasty was still just in the development of the time, the miasma was rampant with severe plague, and the weaker body was very likely to be infected with the plague and die of the plague when walking on the road.
Song Zhao bowed his hand to Lotte and said: "Master Hou can come to send off the lower official, the lower official is really grateful!" ”
Lotte said with a smile: "There are very few people in the world who can be as arrogant and outspoken as Le, at least Le has never heard of the name of Song Jun, and now I have heard of Song Jun's affairs, and I am not lonely in deep things!" ”
"Master Hou's words are bad!" Song Zhao hurriedly said and continued: "If the loyal and righteous ministers of the dynasty are all admonished like the lower officials, I am afraid that they will be beaten by the eunuchs, and the Great Song Dynasty will be like loyal ministers again!" ”
"What Song Jun said is polite!" Lotte nodded.
"Hey! It's been a long time, it's almost time, it's time to go......" The messenger in charge of the escort over there shouted dissatisfiedly.
The New Year will be in another month, but these two of them are going to escort people to Guangnan, where birds don't poop and deserted, this errand is not flattering and unflattering, and it is far away, and there is a danger to life, how can the two of them not accumulate a grievance.
"Tu Si!" Lotte gestured.
Tu Si sighed, walked to the front of the two errands, took out two silver ingots weighing more than three taels and handed them to the two, and said with a smile: "The thoughtfulness of Lord Song under the road is also bothering the two errands!" ”
"You know how to act!" Looking at the silver ingot in Tu Si's hand, the two messengers reached out to pick it up, and their mouths couldn't close with a smile. One or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for two pieces of money, and six pieces of money are three months' income, how can the heart not like it.
When the two messengers came to take the silver in Lotte's hand, Tu Si dodged with the hand of the silver and said with a smile: "My marquis can be ugly and said in front, if there is any difference between the Song officials on this road, you two don't need to come back!" ”
Hearing Tu Si's threat, the two errand eyes showed anger, and the people who did the escort on this errand had always been those officials who nodded to themselves, when had they ever been threatened.
"What? Dissatisfied? Tu Si snorted and said coldly: "The two of you call Ji Wu, the other calls Dong Huai, one lives in Dongyuanli in the outer city, and the other lives in the third lane of the west of the outer city, and the family has an old and a young ......."
Tu Si's words made the two of them "chuckle", and they glanced at each other at the same time, and their faces turned gray.
Looking at the two of them, Tu Si smiled and stuffed the two ingots of silver into the hands of the two: "Na, you two accept the silver, as long as you take care of the Song officials along the way, I will ensure that your two families are safe!" ”
Not far away, Tu Si's words were heard in the ears of a group of people, and everyone's eyes fell on Lotte's body, and Song Zhao was even more surprised: "Master Hou, what does this mean?" ”
Lotte said indifferently: "You scolded Wang Hao, Tong Guan and others who advocated the destruction of Liao, how can these people make you feel better, and Guangnan itself is a place with high mountains and rivers......"
"Master Hou's great grace, Song is hard to repay!" Song Zhao bowed and bowed to Lotte.
"Song Jun, please get up!" Lotte clasped his hands and called, "Shakutachi! ”
Shakuchi answered, took a bag from the car, and walked to Song Zhao with both hands: "Song official, this is a coil and a few pieces of clothing sent to the official by my family, and there are some medicines for the prevention and treatment of the plague!" ”
"Master Hou, how can this be done!" Song Zhao hurriedly excused himself.
Lotte said: "The countrymen are loyal ministers, how not admirable!" ”
……
In terms of relationship, Lotte and Song Zhao are really not familiar with each other, at most they have only eaten together a few times, but Song Zhao was degraded for exactly the same reason as himself, which can be regarded as a sympathy between the two.
There is a sense of sympathy, but the two are not very familiar with each other, so Lotte does not have to copy a poem to send each other. In fact, this time to say goodbye to Song Zhao is still a little sad, the son of the moon sacrifices to the sky, and at the same time the world is amnesty, because Wang Huang is disgusted with Song Zhao and does not forgive him, but it makes the courtiers have a lot of sympathy for Song Zhao.
Song Zhaolu left, Lotte said goodbye to the crowd, and hurried to the other courtyard.
At this time, Yuxu came to Lotte and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, according to Qian Liyan, Your Majesty has issued an edict to restore Li Bangyan and Tang Ke. ”
"How could His Majesty think of the two of them?" Lotte was slightly shocked.
Yu said in a false voice: "The treasury is empty, the court has no money to use, Your Majesty has been dissatisfied with Wang Huang for a long time, then Li Bangyan was also deeply pleased by His Majesty before, although he was degraded, it is said that in the land of debasement, I don't know how to make friends with Liang Shicheng and Tong Guan and others, there are these people who say good things about him in front of the Son of Heaven, and it is reasonable to recover." ”
Li Gang sighed on the side: "Li Bangyan is known as Li Langzi, his behavior has always been uninhibited, and his conduct has many misconducts, and he has Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and others to help, and it is not impossible to go straight to the card. ”
"Master Hou should be careful in the future!" Chen Lingyuan also sighed.
……
The discord between Lotte and Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao, Li Bangyan and others is a matter known to all the courts, and the rest of the officials who saw off Song Zhao are also sighing on the side.
"Thank you for reminding me, Le has no official position now, so Li Bangyan is going back to Biandu for the sake of what can I do!" Lotte said with a smile.
"Master Hou, don't use your own magnanimity to save others!" Li Gang said very seriously, "As far as Li knows, Li Bangyan has always been eager to report, and Master Hou must not be defenseless!" ”
"Le knows!" Lotte said, and while speaking, a group of people said goodbye to Lotte, after all, these people still have to rush to the yamen, not as comfortable as Lotte is like Xianyun Yehe.
In fact, after Lotte was deprived of the title, Zhao Ji was even exempted from Lotte as a horse master in front of the country's major ceremonies.
On the way to the other courtyard, Lotte was also helpless, Li Bangyan was the prime minister during the Jingkang Change, and as a representative of the main and faction, he had an unshirkable responsibility for the defeat of the Northern Song Dynasty; Lotte thought that he could do it once and for all by demoting this person and letting him out of the way, but he didn't expect that Li Bangyan still had a chance to turn over.
The country has decayed, one might even say rotten from the roots. The Great Song Dynasty seems to be huge, but it is actually a clay giant, which has been inhabited by insects and ants.
……
As soon as the carriage drove into the courtyard, before it could stop steadily, Lotte jumped down from under it and walked happily towards the other house.
Because there is one thing today, if it is successful, it will be enough to make history for a thousand years, and it will bring great progress to mankind.
"Hou Ye, according to your instructions, according to the drawings drawn by Hou Ye, I found a glass craftsman to make more than a dozen bottles, according to the process pointed out by Hou Ye, the air of the bottle was pumped clean while making the glass bottle, and two charcoal rods were put into the filament to make the bulb that Hou Ye said!" Seeing Lotte coming in, the bear steward hurriedly reported to Lotte after giving a salute.
The tables in the room were lined up with more than a dozen wooden boxes lined up with linen pads, each of which contained a light bulb made of transparent glass, the earliest light bulb ever seen in human history. It looks a little similar to the bulbs of later generations, but the filament is completely different, because the filament in these more than ten bulbs is not the tungsten filament of later generations, but is replaced by two small charcoal rods.
Although tungsten has existed on the earth for a long time, the real discovery and use is the result of the development of the industrial era in later generations, and tungsten is hard and has a high melting point to make filaments and alloys. However, Lotte knows that the extraction process of tungsten is relatively complex, and the technical difficulty is quite high, and it is difficult to extract it according to the current industrial level.
Based on the metal knowledge that Lotte had mastered in his previous life, the melting of tungsten into steel can greatly increase the toughness of steel, far exceeding the current high-carbon steel made by primitive carburizing method, which makes Lotte more and more interested in tungsten.
At first, when Lotte wanted to make light bulbs, it took a lot of effort to explain the difference between vacuum and air to a group of craftsmen. Although the word "air" appeared when Taoism was mature in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was only defined as a Taoist theory, and its meaning of "air" refers to people's vitality, purity, and breath, which is very different from the meaning of air in later generations.
Although the difference in meaning between the two is 108,000 miles, it can still be understood, but it is relatively troublesome to drain the air from the glass bulb, but fortunately, it is not very difficult.
Since Lotte has made the light bulb, it has naturally made a generator before, but there is still a problem to overcome after making the generator, which is to transform the current emitted by the generator to the appropriate voltage.
