Shangrao with lake villas.
Xin Qiji, who is fifty years old, has lived here for eight years since Chunxi took off the black yarn hat in the ninth year and was swept to the end.
It's been eight years! The flowers bloom and fall, and in a blink of an eye, early winter is coming.
Two years ago, his senior friend Han Yuanji passed away, which made Xin Qiji feel lonely as a hero. When he chose to live in Shangrao, he was more or less because Han Yuanji lived in Shangrao, so he decided to live in Shangrao. Xin Qiji's villa with a lake and Hanfu face each other across the lake, and the two have close contacts, which can be seen in the poetry and harmony.
The most famous one is Xin Qiji's "Lu Longyin Jiachen Suishou Nanjian Shangshu" written in the 11th year of Chunxi (1184), which is a longevity word written to Han Yuanji, a word cloud:
Crossing the river and coming south, how many people are really Jinglun hands? Chang'an father, Xinting storm, pitiful still. Yifu people, Shenzhou Shen 6, how many times have returned!
Counting thousands of miles, the fame is original, the real Confucianism, and the public knows whether it is not. There is an article about mountain songs and wine. Wait for his year, rectify the situation, for the longevity of Mr.
Han Yuanji came from Cheng Yi's sect, was a student of Cheng Yi's disciple Yin Weld, and was an official to the Ministry of Officials. Lu Zuqian is his son-in-law, 6 You has a good relationship with him, Zhu Xi is a disciple of Chengmen with him, but in the last years of Han Yuanji, the most important confidant of the junior is Xin Qiji.
It's a pity that Han Wonji passed away!
In the late autumn of last year, Chen Liang came and left, and now Chen Liang is far away in Zhancheng, it is said that there, Chen Liang has almost become a powerful figure, and the name of Annan and real wax can be regarded as a show of talent! It's a pity that old friends are thousands of miles apart, and they can only remember the time when they sang about wine.
As for Chen Liang's letter inviting him to Taiwan, Xin Qiji is no longer the young man who returned to the south alone, although he is not impulsive, but after all, he can only sigh once, it is impossible to cross the sea alone without caring about everything like Chen Liang.
The official family did not go on the Northern Expedition but took Taiwan first, and this move was incomprehensible at first, but now it seems that this move has been a great gain. In Xin Qiji's view, the gold mine fell second, and the most worthy of celebration is to get a new grain variety - sweet potato, sweet potato with an annual output of 3,000 catties, with this high-yield sweet potato, it is expected that the people of the Great Song Dynasty will no longer be hungry!
Later, there were Taiwanese glass mirrors in Shangrao, and now there are many glass mirrors in Xin Qiji's home. Moreover, Xin Qiji also has plans to replace all the window paper with glass. As for soap and matches, they are already within the normal range of use in Xinfu.
The days are so plain day by day, should be and, outing, accompanied by pastoral life, day after day, watching the autumn leaves wither, another winter has arrived.
It can also eliminate a few storms! Even if he is still ambitious, he can't help the rain and wind year after year, and now that he is white, the years are really a pig-killing knife! Xin Qiji said with emotion in his heart.
Xin Qiji couldn't help but groan:
Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dreaming back to blow the horn company camp. Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound. Autumn soldiers on the battlefield.
The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Poor Bai Sheng!
I want to gallop on the battlefield back then, vertical and horizontal, but unfortunately now I can only be trapped in the lake, "but I will be 10,000 words flat and Rong policy in exchange for the owner's tree planting book", alas!
On this day, Xin Qiji was a little trance-like.
Just when Xin Qi's heart was thinking about it, and he saw that a new word would come out, the holy decree arrived.
In addition to the holy decree, there is also a long annex that demonstrates Yongping mining and copper smelting. The name "Minmetals Exhibition Holding Company" is a bit strange, but when it comes to "Huaxi Construction Company" and "Taisong Haimao Company", there is a word "company", which seems to be very fashionable, but can it really dig up an astronomical amount of copper ore?
After receiving the decree and reading the attachments, Xin Qiji was a little hesitant, it happened that Xin Qiji had contacts with local professionals, and of course he had to listen to the opinions of professionals.
Xin Qijian was in Shangrao, and the people he interacted with were Li Ziyong, the official of the Pit and Metallurgical Division, and Li Zhengzhi, the official of the Pit Smelting and Smelting Department, who of course knew nothing more about the Yongping Copper Mine, and listened to what the two of them said, and it was not too late to deal with it.
The next day, Li Ziyong and Li Zhengzhi were invited to Xinfu.
Faced with the problem of Xin Qiji, the two of you, you look at me, I look at you, they can't believe that Yongping can produce 10 million catties of copper a year.
"Mr. Xin, the year with the most copper production in the lead mountain field is the second year of the main road, and the copper production is only 960,000 catties.
Li Ziyong has been working in the pit and metallurgical official for nearly 30 years, and he naturally knows the copper production in the lead mountain field, and he wants to say that there are endless copper mines under the ground, how can he believe it lightly, and the copper mining in the lead mountain has always been blocked by the rocks, even if it can be dug down in the cracks of the rocks, it is also very difficult, and it is already very remarkable to produce one million catties a year, as for the output of ten million catties, dream!
Li Zhengzhi also agreed:
"That year, it was able to produce 960,000 catties of copper, and it was also mobilized tens of thousands of people, not 100,000, 70,000 or 80,000 people, so many people dug day and night, smelted, and transported, which was smelted. 20,000 people will produce more than 7 million catties of copper a year, but I am afraid that it is a fool's dream. β
Liang Li is not optimistic, which makes Xin Qiji a little discouraged, but Xin Qiji is not a person who gives up lightly, he is waiting for the arrival of the person mentioned in the 6 Jiuyuan letter. This letter was delivered after the Chincha had issued the holy decree, and it was delivered at a really high level.
On the third day, Fu Ziyun, Fugui and Yuan Fu arrived.
The group brought a special gift for Xin Qiji: sweet potatoes and sweet potato flour, as well as a piece of zinc metal.
Fu Ziyun said:
"The teacher heard that Lord Jiaxuan paid attention to farming, and specially asked Xiaosheng to bring a little special product of the Special Economic Zone, this is sweet potato, this is sweet potato powder made from sweet potatoes, and sweet potato seeds will be shipped over in a few days."
"Thank you so much!"
"This is what Mr. Mao asked Xiaosheng to bring, it's a piece of zinc."
Fu Ziyun then handed over a gray-white object with a metallic luster, Xin Qiji took it, only to feel heavy, like lead but not lead, lighter than lead, and harder than lead.
"What do you mean by this? xInοΌ β
Fu Ziyun immediately explained:
"Its name is called 'zinc', next to the word gold, and the word 'xin' on the right side is made of Lord Xin, which is metal zinc. Mr. Mao said that this zinc is magical, maybe this magical zinc is destined to have a fate with Mr. Xin, so the teacher and Mr. Mao both thought of going together, saying that only Mr. Xin can be the president of Minmetals Corporation, and can smelt copper and zinc. Now it seems that even the official family is optimistic about Lord Xin. The three of us are impressed by Lord Xin's demeanor, and are willing to follow Lord Xin before and after the saddle and make some achievements under Lord Xin. β
Xin Qiji received two gifts that he had never seen before, and he was curious for a while, so he first tasted the sweet potato, took a bite, and felt that it was crisp and sweet, and even said that it was delicious.
Then he asked what was the beauty of zinc, and Fu Ziyun took out a hot-dip galvanized iron sheet and told him that as long as the iron was impregnated with a layer of zinc, the iron would not rust.
When Xin Qiji heard it, it was really magical.
Moreover, Fu Ziyun also said that there is a zinc mine in Lead Mountain, and as for smelting, Fugui will be deeply familiar with the art of zinc smelting.
Xin Qijian said, it seems that this wonderful zinc is worth trying. They deliberately named the metal "zinc", which is really well-intentioned.
Suddenly, I thought of the difficulty of mining that Er Li said, so he said:
"In the past, I also went to the lead mountain to accumulate cuiyan, where there are flat pits, gall springs flowing out of the grottoes, and there are also people digging pits to mine copper. However, there are layers of rocks there, and it is not easy to excavate, I read that Mr. Xiao Mao wrote a report that he can use gunpowder to blast the rocks, is it really possible? β
Shangrao and Lead Mountain are close at hand, Xin Qiji often goes to the Goose Lake Temple, and the mountains and rivers around Yongping often have Xin Qiji's footprints, including copper-producing mountains. It was precisely because he saw the difficulty of mining with his own eyes that Xin Qiji said this.
"Yes, in Kaohsiung, quarrying and burning cement is the method of gunpowder mining, and no matter how hard the rock is, it can also be mined in this way. Mr. Mao said that there is a huge amount of copper ore stored under the rocks here in Yongping, and only by using the method of gunpowder blasting can it be effective, and Mr. Mao also said that Lord Xin is very good at leading troops, and only 20,000 troops can be defeated by 100,000 people. β
"Oh." , if the gunpowder really works, then good! Xin Qi said in his heart, this time the official family can use himself, probably because he has led soldiers and has experience in civil affairs. And to preside over a company like "Huaxi Construction Company" like Chen Liang is not without consideration. It is said that after farming for a long time, the idea of going out of the mountains to do something for the country has become stronger day by day.
"Mr. Mao said, even if one person can refine one pound of copper a day, it is 20,000 pounds of copper, and with the great talent of Lord Xin, it will definitely be no problem."
"Haha, it seems that if I don't be the president of Minmetals, I'm sorry for 6 Jiuyuan and Mao Geng?!"
Fugui nodded, and continued to say what Mao Geng explained:
"Mr. Mao said, Yongping this mine is very important, the future copper depends on it, zinc smelting also depends on it, as long as there is enough copper and zinc, the Great Song Dynasty can overwhelm the Jin Kingdom, so that the wealth of the Jin Kingdom will continue to flow to the Great Song Dynasty, and my Great Song Dynasty will continue to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and finally complete the grand wish of Lord Xin, the Northern Expedition, the shame of Jingkang, and the restoration of the Great Song River!"
These words suddenly came to Xin Qiji's heart, and Xin Qiji's heart was agitated at that time, and he almost had to sacrifice a piece of words or something, in order to describe the blockade in his heart.
However, in the face of the three boys, it will be his own soldiers in the future, Xin Qijian thought about it for a while, and said with a smile:
"6 Since Jiuyuan and Mao Geng have done a good job, they have worked hard to call this metal 'zinc', and if I want to push three or four times, it will seem to disappoint the two of them. In addition, among the three of you, two are disciples of 6 Jiuyuan, and one is a disciple of Mao Geng, since your master has sent you, I can't shirk it. Good! I'll promise you to give it a try. I hope to live up to the trust. β
The three applauded.
