"Yes."

Yuping smiled and said, "The slave family has been worried, the higher the Jiulang official is promoted, the more worried the slave family is, worried that the slave family is like the white fox, and the slave family doesn't want to be the white fox......"

"What's it, that's just a story, there's a vixen in this world?"

"But there are many women's lives, like the white fox."

"Yuping, I have not expressed my position on this matter because I am afraid that I will wronged you," Song Jiu said clearly through the skylight, this matter cannot be dragged on forever, it is unfair to Yuping.

Yuping was very strange: "Isn't it normal to take a concubine?" ”

"It's normal, but I want to consider your feelings. If you stand in this position, you are very aggrieved. However, I have no evil intentions, which is why I invite you to manage the store or other properties for me. ”

"Jiulang, the slave family must have done a good job of putting them on the right track before entering the door of the Song family."

"For what?"

The two have been "stuffy" and lack of communication, and today's formal communication seems to be quite difficult, Yuping said strangely: "Jiulang, you are an official, whether it is a wife or a concubine, you can't show your face, I want to manage the store, and I can still be your wife and concubine?" ”

Song Jiu finally came out of the guilt, bent down and smiled, and said: "You misunderstood, that's the main store, not the eldest sister's small wine shop, many affairs are handled by the uncles of the various stewards under him, you only need to use your knowledge and wisdom to command behind the scenes, or be responsible for dealing with some special incidents." Besides, what's wrong with being like the eldest sister? If you don't steal and don't rob, isn't the money you earn? You have to stay here, or in two or three years, you will be the chief treasurer of hundreds of thousands and millions of industries. What kind of person you want to marry can't marry? ”

"The slave family is here, and it feels like home here." Ping opens her heart knot. Said mischievously.

Song Jiu is not false, emotional matters are really not easy to handle. is only a wife, Song Jiu is not easy to give, but from other angles to Yuping is not bad, but things are tangled here, Yuping is not interested in the chief shopkeeper, but longs to have a real name.

Song Jiu said again: "I really can't give you an answer right now, although I know that it is very unfair to drag on the road, but the matter of Hezhou is too troublesome, I dare not be distracted." ”

"Kuro. Without Hezhou, you can make a lot of money, and your salary is much higher than before, so we are not short of money. ”

"Yes, just a glass and a greenhouse vegetable can bring me a lot of wealth, and I have other means. But Yuping, have you ever thought that if there was no Hezhou, His Majesty would not give me an official? Reward me with my money. The research and development of glass alone has used more than 4,000 yuan so far. Besides, if there is no strength in the Yaya, can more than a dozen glass craftsmen be dug up. There is no such cause. Nor is there the present fruit. Now I'm not short of money, but now do I dare to stop? ”

I can't stop, I stop. Zhu Yannei can tear Song Jiu up and eat it.

Jade Ping laughed eatingly.

"Actually, sometimes I regret it, so it's better not to make that bet in the first place......"

"What bet?"

Everyone talked about it. Song Jiu did not shy away from it, and quietly told him about his gamble with Zhao Kuangyin. Apple laughed again. Said: "Your Majesty must not have believed it at the time. ”

"Yes, and I'm also gambling on the fortune of the country, if I can't recover the Southern Tang Dynasty after a few years, I will lower my deed shares again, and I will have to pay taxes and this land rent, and it will be more and more difficult in the future. Don't tell Tsing Yi about this. ”

"Has Tsing Yi's mother handled it well?"

"Shi Dalang wrote a letter, this is a trivial matter, and Zhizhou came forward, I believe it will be dealt with. However, it is far away, and there is no news back for a while. Rest assured. ”

"It's not that I'm relieved, it's that Cui'er is not assured."

"Either you ask Qingshu what he means, if he doesn't dislike it, he will marry them the year after tomorrow."

"Okay, if Qingshu agrees, book it as soon as possible." Yuping said worriedly that this kid is very smart, and maybe in a year or two, Cui'er will become her second self.

"I'll leave it to you, if you don't worry, I'll hand over the family's account books and money to you tomorrow."

"That's not going to work."

"What's not going to work, let you get familiar with it first," Song Jiu walked back and forth, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this decision was very wise, and he had wronged Yuping, so let's give her more rights, and Yuping was very smart, she would plan to make a deal in the past few months, and she also learned some accounting, and now the accounts are not complicated, and she can manage it, and she also reduces her own distraction.

"That ......"

"I promised you, I will never give up, no matter what identity it is, I still promise a word, hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son."

"That ......"

"Don't do that, I know what you think."

"As long as Jiulang doesn't dislike it, the slave family will obey Jiulang's arrangement."

Song Jiu was silent, although Yuping said so, but it was impossible to say that she was willing, so let's talk about it later. In fact, Song Jiu did not mean to delay, he was too busy during this time, especially when he had to go to Sichuan in the middle of winter, and this matter has not been made public until now. Even he fantasized that if the imperial court did not urge it, Sichuan would gradually calm down, and he would pretend to be stupid and not lose his capital, and not go! The next day, Blacksmith Li sent a few samples of the stove, it was simple and quick to make. Song Jiu then built a manual machine.

Or can use water power to make related machinery, but Song Jiu didn't want to bother with that thought, so he simply made it all by hand. Then use this simple manual honeycomb coal machine to make dozens of honeycomb coal according to a certain proportion, dry and burn, and look at the fire to see the effect. The honeycomb coal technology of later generations has progressed, but it is also fake, the firepower is insufficient, and the furnace sealing time can not be very long, the strict standard honeycomb coal can seal the furnace for 18 hours, and the actual honeycomb coal furnace can reach seven or eight hours, even if it is good, some are not even six hours, and two pots of water will be replaced with coal as soon as they are burned. It is precisely this inferior quality that has hurt its sales. I don't know if this world will appear again.

Song Jiu came absolutely according to the standard, this is easy to test, and the result will be obtained in two days. I chose a recipe that could boil at least four or five pots of water and seal the furnace for seven hours. Only then did all the officials be summoned together, and the water flowed out of the city of Tokyo, gradually opening up, and there were not many places where the water was turbulent. And it can't affect the waterway. In some places, most of them are set up with stone mills, which are mainly used to make rice. It must be close to the capital. In addition, it is necessary to be able to stop the ship to unload coal, and there are not many places to choose from.

No one knows about it yet. Yes, until the steel prison is located, there are only six places that can really be chosen, and it is too far away to the steel prison, if it is close to the capital, there are only two places, one includes the opposite of the big Hongqiao, where it is impossible to make a workshop, and the coal is black everywhere. will affect its scenery. Even if others set up workshops here in the future, Zhao Kuangyi will most likely let them demolish them. Therefore, there is only one place downstream, and that is the location of Hongqiao on the Qingming Shanghe map.

This can't make black money, and the technique is also simple, and you can't make it if you want to. But it is better than a large number, and if it is popularized, it will also be a large amount of income, so ninety-four families, including Song Jiu, share it equally, and the cost is not much. Fifty taels of money is enough for a family.

Construction of the workshop began a few days later, and it was fast.

Song Jiu continued to run around, and the old man of the Liu family found Song Jiu and said, "Jiulang." There's one thing I don't quite understand. ”

"Liu Weng Weng Weng said."

"The eldest son of the Su family arrived at the barracks, and the second son of my family also entered the barracks, and they all entered the Sichuan together. Why did the child of the Su family send back a lot of money and letters, and reported his safety. My kid doesn't carry money. But not even a safe letter from home was sent. If you say that you died on the battlefield, at least the imperial court has a saying. I went to the barracks and asked. The generals in the barracks did not answer. What's going on? ”

There are some military households in the river, and their households cannot be said to be in the river, the forbidden soldiers are in captivity, and the military camp and their families are all in the northwest of the city, that is, the Pan Mansion is further northwest, that is, the area where the families of the soldiers are located.

But at this time, it was not a single son, some of them became forbidden soldiers, and their families moved to the barracks area, but there was also a family in various places, including the river.

This question is not easy for Song Jiu to answer, he has not yet understood all the truth, but Han Chongyun has explained enough. It is the generals who make the most money. The soldiers only made a small fortune, some more, some less, and Wang Quanbin's direct army probably gained the most.

But it doesn't matter if you get rich, the most important thing is not how much money you get, but how safe people are. According to the old man of the Liu family, this situation is probably the worst. Sichuan is in turmoil like that, and it is impossible to ban all the soldiers from being safe, but if they die in battle, the corpses are generally brought back to the capital, even if they are buried locally, there must be a message, or some bereavement pensions must be issued. The Liu family doesn't have all of them, so it can only be a situation...... Mutiny!

Lu Han and other generals rebelled with their subordinates due to the uneven distribution of spoils, and now I don't know how many soldiers and soldiers are involved, and the imperial court is afraid of causing a popular uprising, so they can't say about it. If the children of the Liu family are in the Lu Han army, it will be sad.

Song Jiu sighed that the people of the two rivers are two heavens, this is the real two heavens.

But he didn't dare to say it, and said: "I heard some news that the Bashu rebellion is gradually subsiding, and once it is quelled, the soldiers will inevitably return." Then there will be news. That's the front line, I'm just a small sesame grain officer, and I don't want to ask much. ”

"Jiulang, General Wang's yamen is also friendly with you, you let him ask his father."

Song Jiu couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to say: "Liu Wengweng, I'll give it a try, but we are just a group of half-grown sons, and General Wang may not give me face." ”

"Thank you, Jiulang."

Song Jiu walked away silently, Lu Yuqing said that the Bashu refugees are actually one, the resentment in the hearts of the people, if Zhao Kuangyin is willing to behead Wang Quanbin to show the public, half of the resentment of the people of Bashu can be removed, and then after Lu Yuqing's careful management, Bashu will be able to settle down in a few years.

It seems that Zhao Kuangyin did not kill Wang Quanbin, he did not kill when he was killed, but he killed what he should not kill, how can the military discipline of the Song army be strict? If the tiger and wolf army built by Chai Rong is eliminated, will the Song army still be able to fight a good battle? But this is not what Song Jiu dares to say.

When he came to the Dongshui Gate, he looked at the coal workshop, and then summoned the Yanei and said, "We will take out some capital to distribute stoves to the people and send some honeycomb coal." ”

"Why is that?" Shi Baozheng asked strangely.

"This is called the advertising effect, otherwise how will the people know the Tao, send it, let them burn it, and only if they think it is good can they buy it. This is not a lot of money, only a few hundred. ”

There will always be people who grab things that don't need money, and 2,000 coal stoves and 20,000 pieces of honeycomb coal will be robbed in the blink of an eye. But after tasting the benefits, each government did not miss this little money, and each recovered 50 yuan of money, built 10,000 coal stoves, and scattered them in various squares in the capital.

Driven by more than 10,000 households, coupled with the simple workmanship of these coal stoves, an iron sheet, an iron stall, and a yellow mud baking stove, the cost is only 100 yuan, so more people have ordered iron furnaces. Almost every blacksmith shop was working overtime to build such a furnace.

But the winter problem on the Hezhou side has also been solved, two stoves, and then the walls are glued tightly, and the winter will not be cold anymore. Even the palace ordered a thousand stoves, not only the harem, but also the ministries and departments of the imperial city to use it, and ordered 200,000 pieces of honeycomb coal. It didn't take long for the furnace to be sent out, and the cost was about to be recovered.

As soon as he was happy, he only heard Song Jiu shouting to make money for more than a year, but he didn't make a cent of money, and more money went on. It's only today that I've really made a lot of money. However, the good times did not last long, and seeing their benefits, another group of Yanai opened a second workshop, and set up the water mill for crushing coal on the edge of the big Hongqiao, face to face with Song Jiu's cylinder car.

Of course, this is not good, not only does it affect the landscape, but a water mill does not affect the waterway, but the ship must be stopped to unload coal, which will affect the waterway. Besides, the imperial court saw all kinds of rivers and continents, and was also cautious about Hebei, how could the coal workshop be set up here.

Lu Duan brought people to forcibly demolish it, but the officials didn't dare to move, Pan Weide was sharp-eyed, and said: "Lu Zhixian is going to be embarrassed today, and Zhao Xianggong's office is also there." ”

For these other coal workshops in the ya, Zhu Yanei does not have an opposing attitude, the capital is not much, the skills are not high, there is no Zhao Pu's son to take everyone to set up a workshop, there will be other workshops, it is impossible to monopolize it. Besides, who's afraid of whom. So a group of people watched a good show on this side of the river.

Song Jiu is also watching a good show, he wants to see how this big thing is not confused, and the little thing is handled by the magistrate who pretends to be confused. (To be continued......)
