No one knows where Zhou Min went, Zhou Yi couldn't find anyone after looking around, so he could only give up, in this Qingshen County, Zhou Min is already an absolute celebrity, and he has long been given the title of a strong woman, that face is a business card, and he can't lose it wherever he goes.

Zhou Yi and Tang Huan are two people who accept everyone's blessings, deal with all kinds of strange questions from relatives, and those who want to insert their children into the government department but don't actually know a word.

In the end, you can only get rid of the entanglement of these people by putting on an official shelf, to be honest, if your own people can be inserted, it is really excellent, Zhou Yi can't ask for it, but you are not illiterate, ask him how to fight on the abacus with three times and five divided by two, and he is at a loss, isn't this kind of person inserted into it equivalent to a time bomb for his official road?

Although Zhou Yi has his own ideals, there must be a balance between ideals and reality, which Zhou Yi knows very well, he must not be out of touch with reality because of his ideals, this is not good, the so-called high and low, probably so, you go too fast, everyone can't keep up, then you lose.

But Zhou Yi also knew that he must not compromise with this group of illiterates, in the two years since he came to the Great Song Dynasty, he is confident that he has also brought some changes to the Great Song Dynasty, and he hopes that such changes can continue, so he insisted, in the face of these so-called relatives and friends, he chose to refuse, not only for his own future, but also for the future of the Great Song Dynasty. He hopes that talented people will lead those who have no talent, rather than a group of people who have no ability to wear out the skills of those who have the ability.

It is precisely because of this that he is very tired during this Spring Festival, and other relatives can also feel very unhappy. But Zhou Yi wouldn't pay attention to them. Because in his concept, these relatives should not have appeared in the first place.

What made Zhou Yi feel tired the most may be Zhou Min. On the second day of going home, Zhou Yi finally saw Zhou Min, her eyes that looked red and swollen because of crying made Zhou Yi feel distressed, and when asked about the reason for crying, Zhou Min said that it was just because she suddenly had a sister-in-law and was not mentally prepared.

Zhou Yi could only comfort her, and Tang Huan also tried his best, or to reduce his body or reduce his body, to coax this sister to stop, and then he gave up.

After staying at home for more than ten days, the Lantern Festival has not yet passed. Zhou Yi took people on his journey again and went to Zhending Mansion.

After arriving at Zhending Mansion, the Spring Festival has nothing to do with Zhou Yi, so let's be the prefect honestly. But Zhou Yi's business desire is uncontrollable, after half a month of investigation, he began to set up a steel plant, using the cooperation method of the government to govern the private fundraising, the official came forward to ensure that everyone's progress went smoothly, and the private workshops merged to provide products for the government, in fact, it is just a variant of the Shengli Iron and Steel Plant in Qingshen County - although Zhending Mansion is still called Shengli Iron and Steel Plant.

Less than a month after that. Zhou Yi got another piece of news about Liao. Year. That is, in the eighth year of the Great Song Dynasty, the second year of Jin Tianfu, and the eighth year of Liao Tianqing, when Jin Taizu forced Liao to be canonized as the emperor, he wanted Liao to be the emperor of the Great Sage.

The two sides have been in exchange with envoys several times, but no reunification has been achieved. The Liao Dynasty believed that the word "Great Sage" was the same as its previous title, and asked Jin to reconsider the title.

This year, that is, in the second year of Song Xuanhe, the tenth year of Tianqing, and the fourth year of Jin Tianfu, Liao sent an envoy to convey this opinion to Jin. Ah Guda was furious, thinking that this was a delaying tactic used by Liao who was unwilling to be canonized and was afraid of Jin's attack, so he immediately decided to send troops to attack Liao.

In April, Ah Guda personally set out on the expedition, divided the troops into three routes, traveled hundreds of miles day and night, and went straight to Shangjing, the capital of Liao.

At that time, Emperor Tianzuo was hunting in the field. In May, the Jin army arrived at Shangjing, Jin Taizu personally supervised the battle, launched an attack from the morning, and before noon, Liao Shangjing stayed behind to lead the people to surrender, and Shangjing was captured by Jin. So far, Liao has lost nearly half of its prefectures and counties.

Last year, the Liao State lost two states to the Song Dynasty, and now it has been captured by Jin so much, which can be regarded as a house leak that happened to rain overnight.

Speaking of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, who got the news, was naturally unwilling to be lonely.

At that time, Tong Guan was under the secret order of Song Huizong and was preparing to deal with the Liao State with the help of foreign aid. It is recommended to re-send an envoy to make peace with Jin and ask Jin to attack Liao together. According to Tong Guan's suggestion, Huizong sent Zhao Liangsi and others to envoy Jin in February of the second year of Xuanhe and the fourth year of Jin Tianfu. Nominally, it is still good to buy horses, but in fact, it is an appointment to attack Liao.

In April, Zhao Liangsi waited for Jin, and Jin Taizu had personally led his division to attack Liaoshangjing. Zhao Liangsi and his entourage hurriedly chased after him, and met Jin Taizu halfway through. He arrived at Shangjing with the Jin army and saw with his own eyes that the Jin army captured Shangjing in only two or three hours. Zhao Liangsi praised the longevity, shouted long live, and presented a letter written by Huizong, asking Jin to attack the Liao Dynasty together and help the Song to recover the old land of Yanjing. After negotiation and negotiation, Jin expressed his willingness to attack the Liao Dynasty, and Song paid 500,000 yuan to Jin every year. The two sides agreed that Jin would take Liaozhongjing Dading Mansion, and Song would take Liaoyanjing Xijin Mansion.

Jin Yuan was scheduled to immediately send troops to attack Liao, and asked Zhao Liangsi to go back quickly and let Song also send troops immediately. But at that time, it was the middle of summer, and the Jin army continued to fight, and the cattle and horses fell ill. Jin and Zhao Liangsi changed their agreement to raise troops next year, and sent Bo Jin and Hao Lu to hold the letter of state to make Song return.

This news made Zhou Yi dissatisfied, Song and Jin jointly attacked Liao, everyone contributed their efforts, and it was not the Great Song Dynasty that asked Jin for help, why did he still pay Jin every year?

He immediately wrote a letter to the capital, explaining the reason, thinking that the recovery of the two states last year proved that the Great Song Dynasty was capable of fighting against the Liao State, and now the Liao State was attacked by the Jin State, and nearly half of the losses were lost, and the Liao State could also be wiped out by virtue of the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and there was no need to pay tribute to the Jin State.

But his statement was opposed, although some people still think that he is right, but there are many more people who think that it is only 500,000 yuan, which can add a guarantee, which is very worthwhile.

This made Zhou Yi so angry that he was so angry that he faced the court officials who only knew how to eat, drink and laze at the gate of the Zhending Mansion and the court officials were corrupt and incompetent, and they all fainted in the end. After inviting a doctor, it was hot weather, and he was in a hurry, and he prescribed a few doses of medicine, and it took three days for Zhou Yi to get better.

In order to calm Zhou Yi's mood, Tang Huan decided to talk only about Fengyue with Zhou Yi, not about politics, and let people go to the street to buy some poems, calligraphy and paintings full of literary and artistic atmosphere. One of them is the "Xuanhe Painting", which has just been released this year.

Under the instruction and auspices of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, a group of Confucian scholars who were proficient in the history and appreciation of painting collectively compiled a bibliographic work that reflected the paintings in the imperial court-"Xuanhe Painting".

The Xuanhe Painting Spectrum consists of 20 volumes, including 231 painters from the Wei and Jin dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, with 6,396 works. It is divided into 10 courses according to the painting department. Each painting subject is preceded by a short and concise narrative describing the origin, development and representative figures of the painting discipline. The biographies of the painters and their works are then arranged in chronological order.

Holding this album of Sotheby's auctions, which had created an auction price of more than 15 million yuan, Zhou Yi was full of emotion, and after learning that each book only cost half a dollar, he was full of excitement.

In the summer, there is another very important thing for him, that is, the rice in a large paddy field outside the city is about to ripen, and now it is June of the second year of Xuanhe, at most there is still a month, and the early rice will be ripe.

The reason why Zhou Yi suddenly became enthusiastic about rice fields was only because of an idea at the beginning of this year, that is, he was determined to breed hybrid rice.

Rice is a typical self-pollinating crop with monoeciousness. The use of heterosis in rice can only rely on the characteristics of male sterility to produce a large number of hybrid seeds through cross-pollination. Because this method of using rice heterosis requires the matching of sterile lines, maintainer lines and restorer lines, it is called three-line heterosis utilization. The hybrid rice cultivated by this method is referred to as the three-line hybrid rice.

There was a close relationship between the three lines of rice, and the sterile line was basically the same as the maintainer line except for the abnormal development of male organs, the inability of pollen abortion to self-inbred and fruiting, and the incomplete heading and necking. The maintainer line is crossed with the sterile line, and the sterile line seeds obtained are used for seed production and propagation in the coming year; The sterile line was crossed with the restorer line, and the hybrid rice seeds obtained were used for field production in the next season. The inbred seeds of the maintainer and restorer lines can continue to be used as maintainers and restorers.

For Zhou Yi, a good Chinese boy who has studied biology, there is no doubt about the basis of the theory, and the set summarized by Yuan Longping's grandfather is clearly written in the book, and the students who need to take the exam are all memorized. And now Zhou Yi is just putting these theories into practice.

In March, Zhou Yi released the concept of a Zhendingfu Industrial Park, encouraging businessmen with capital and technology to invest in factories, hire workers, and set a minimum wage standard. The products of labor were collectively promoted to the outside world through the Shengli Cooperative established by Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi promised that all business activities were protected by him, and as long as they did not do anything unreasonable, he guaranteed that the operation of their factory would not be disturbed by anyone.

In this way, the Great Song Dynasty was the only one in the past dynasties that did not suppress commercial behavior, and Zhou Yi used his status to dispel their concerns, hoping to use this way to stimulate the germination of capitalism in the Great Song Dynasty, and now that a few months have passed, the effect seems to be good.

Zhou Yi's set naturally caused an uproar, although business is not prohibited, but the basic level of Shinong industry and commerce has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Zhou Yi's behavior of mixing with businessmen is understood by them as not doing business. And some people know that he was originally a businessman and relied on the black history of the imperial examination to rise to power, and even bluntly pointed out that he was a dog who couldn't change his.
