Wang Jixun didn't dare to argue with Zhao Kuangyi, he was definitely unconvinced in his heart, and suddenly his eyes rolled and he didn't make a sound.

Song Jiu stared at him and immediately understood his idea, but even if he was looking for Zhao Kuangyin, Hezhou was too important, not to mention the technique, with taxes, Zhao Kuangyin would not let him come nonsense. Is it true that the country is not as important as the brother-in-law?

Ignoring him, he continued: "Let's get down to business, and plan for the coming year. ”

As a result of the tragic cement, the project must start in spring, summer and autumn, and stop work in winter, and the plan must be arranged this year. Everyone understands this, everyone doesn't care about Wang Jixun, listen to Song Jiu down. Song Jiudao: "I'll talk about my family affairs first, after the opening of Hezhou, there are many people who want me to treat in Shundian, to be honest, I have made some money, and this money is useful, and I don't dare to treat guests every day in Shundian." ”

Everyone laughed together.

"But we have been together for a few years, according to Buddhism, meeting is fate, ten years to cross the same boat, a hundred years to sleep in the same bed. There are many in the capital, and only we come together for what is the reason, this is a kind of fate. Therefore, with the help of the big wedding, I will have a wedding banquet in Shundian, but it will cost a lot of money......"

Everyone laughed again, and at the same time their hearts warmed, Wang Jixun is an exception, in fact, Song Jiu is very easy to get along with, if he is not an official, he is still like this when he is an official. And it's very emotional, fate, it's indeed a fate.

The hearts of the Pan brothers warmed, and in this way, Song Jiu took the responsibility of the Shundian wedding banquet on his own head, rather than his father's request.

"Exactly how much, I don't know now, but it's certainly a terrifying number. Second. Jianghuai's vitality gradually recovered, and Wu Yue and the Southern Tang Dynasty paid tribute every year. However, there are mostly flat bridges on the Bianshui River, and big boats are not allowed to cross. Especially when the autumn flood comes, it is inconvenient for even a ship of 5,000 stone to sail, and this is the peak time for tax payment. The imperial court repeatedly proposed to expand the flying bridge and replace all the flat bridges on the Bianshui with the flying bridge. There is also the steel prison, the imperial court has a wide territory, not only Xuzhou Tiezhi, but also Shandong Peninsula Laiden Tiezhi, the largest Hebei Tiezhi, Yutong Fengxiang and other places of Shaanxi Tiezhi. and a small amount of iron rule in Bashu Jinghu, but the scope of steel supervision radiation is only iron rule in Xuzhou. The steel supervision will also be expanded, and a steel supervision will be set up in Huazhou to radiate the pits in Hebei, and a steel supervision will be set up in Shaanzhou. Jinghu and Bashu will also set up two small steel prisons. This can barely radiate the iron pits across the country. Otherwise, the cost of transporting iron ore to the capital is too high. ”

Most of the people who don't know this cost don't know the way, and it turns out that the amount of iron produced by the earthen iron furnace in the Song Dynasty can only reach a little more than one percent, and the iron is not good. After passing through the blast furnace, the proportion of wrought iron is almost close to half of it. The quality of the product is nearly twofold, and the quality is far superior to the former.

But it is the internal government affairs of the three divisions. Song Jiu can't leak it. And Song Jiu was not very satisfied, although China was mostly poor iron ore in his memory, the iron production rate was still close to forty percent. This shows that the blast furnace continues to have serious problems.

He couldn't figure out where it was.

Therefore, the expansion of prisons is inevitable. Continue to let those little iron stoves smelt iron, it's too wasteful. If you don't let those small iron stoves smelt iron, the freight is too high. Only iron can be smelted. Shipping costs can be reduced. One is four catties of iron ore, and the other is one catty of wrought iron. Whole reduced by four times!

The inside story is not said, and the insiders also understand the reason. Song Jiu continued: "However, there are two problems, one is that the craftsmen are not yet familiar with their construction techniques, and the prisons and bridges are too far away, and I can't go to guide them. The second is the cement problem, its maintenance period is too long, it is a whole month to fully solidify. The technical skills are not afraid, this has to wait, and when the students in the school learn more knowledge, and the craftsmen with the training of Hezhou architecture, the combination of the two, the problem of technical skills can be solved. The second is cement, so after the third division I saw all kinds of things, had to invest money to test the new cement, once it succeeded, the strength will be twice as much as the current cement, the solidification time is only one day, some cement can be fireproof and cold-resistant, in the north of the Khitan can be used to build high-rise buildings. Whether it is military or civilian, it can play a greater role. ”

Zhao Kuangyi understood, if that effect is immeasurable, but can the test be successful?

"I still say that there is no home without a country, and while making money for yourself, you must give back to the country. Only with a strong country can we safely live under its wings. Hezhou is actually a bit against the national system, if Liu Zhongcheng is allowed to find fault, he can at least pick out 50 impeachment charges? Why not pick? It is to repay the court with techniques and taxes or other things. Liu Zhongcheng chose to abandon the big and the small, so sometimes he couldn't stand it, so he simply pretended not to hear or see it. So I had to test this cement. And once the test is successful, not to mention its role, it may be able to bring more than one million yuan of income to the imperial court in the future. ”

"Don't exaggerate." Zhao Kuangyi shouted, on the surface, he had to pretend to be one.

"The second king, Weichen said that one million is still a little, this is direct income, indirect income, and the number of people who feed will be countless. This time will not be too long, and it will be seen in a few years. Of course, if the officials are desperately greedy for ink, then there is no income. How much metal did the two kings, a piece of gunpowder, add to the pit in a year? Do you want Weichen to show you this statistic tomorrow morning? ”

"Get down to business." Zhao Kuangyi waved his hand.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if it succeeds, it will actually be a good shelter for the river island. But its test investment is too huge, how much it is, I can't estimate it now, maybe 100,000, maybe 200,000, not a text, but through. In the first batch, I prepared 50,000 yuan. ”

"You use money ......" Han Qingxiong shook his head one by one, it was too cruel to use money like this.

"Money earned is spent, some people spend it on eating, drinking, and having fun, some people spend it on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and some people spend it on temples, but why can't it be spent on the country and the people? You can't ask me how to spend it, and I can't ask you. However, the profits of my glaze workshop have been handed over, and the plan must be changed. Song Jiu said his plan. Buying land is not said to be alive or dead, but arenas and squares, flying bridges, and greenery can be said. One is to spend money in the first half of the year, and the other is to spend money in the second half of the year.

The two natures are immediately different, spending money together in the first half of the year, and the big guys are all less money. However, the number of deed shares will continue to increase, but part of it will be carried out in the second half of the year. It is equal to the increase in Song Jiuqi's shares, and they are relatively decreasing. Gao said: "We also agree. However, just like this year, 50,000 yuan of deed shares are absorbed from the outside, and 100,000 yuan is too much. The profits of Hezhou industry are not insufficient. ”

"Gao Dalang, people should be content, its profits exceed your imagination, and it also exceeds my imagination, we can't be greedy, just like it," Song Jiu pointed to the report on the wall: "Why do you see it profitable." I'll leave it to you anyway. You can't be greedy, otherwise you will have a lot of ideas in your hearts, and everyone will be more disunited, and sooner or later the river will collapse. ”

All don't speak.

In fact, Wang Jixun's blackmail today has become a good thing, Song Jiu simply said all kinds of things together, it's a big deal that I won't play, and if the deed shares are sold all at once, I will get a lot of money, and the glass workshop will take it back. You can also make a lot of money every year. However, the yamen played together.

Don't talk about it, continue to have red eyes in the future.

Song Jiu continued: "Besides, the New Year's Day is coming, since there is not much money for next year, I will simply make another decision." A batch of profits will be issued in advance, and a quarter of the capital of the deed shares will be distributed to everyone. ”

"That's good." Many people cried out. Some people don't care if they don't use their money. But most of the Yanai spent money excessively, including Fu Zhaoshou. After this batch of money was distributed, this annual meeting was very happy. This is issued. It is equivalent to the first batch of investment in the deed shares, and the capital will be recovered eighty percent!

Zhao Kuangyi quietly cast a grateful look.

When the end of the year comes, he also needs to use money, and he still uses a lot of money, and after the distribution, he can get 8,000 yuan, and the economy in his hands will be loosened immediately.

Not only him, but the Pan brothers were also very happy, the little sister's dowry was a big trouble, Song Jiu sent 10,000 taels of silver, which scared the matchmaker, but if she gave more, she would lose more, and she couldn't really use this 10,000 taels of silver to top. They can also get 6,000 yuan, and with this 6,000 yuan, they don't have to worry about the cost of dowry.

Song Jiu also needs it, not only for the cost of the test, the cost of marriage, but also for the academy, and maybe to build a sea ship. This time is not accurate, the rules are made by themselves, they can't take the lead in violating them, the money is distributed, whether it is placed at home or in the river, it is its own and can be embezzled at any time. Some of the declining Yanai are more needed, such as Zhang Lin.

Wang Jixun got another sum of money, but in order to disgust him, Song Jiu took Zhuyanei to Hezhou, took the account book and distributed Wang Jixun's first, or gave him cloth, and asked him to send someone to pull it home. He is the god of plague, arrange him, the rest of the people are easy to do, it just so happens that Yuping is also in the Shundian, calling Yuping, and telling the three families to pay, the situation of each warehouse is different, some are more and some are less, and some have to be spared, for example, a large number of dairy products in Shundian will be transported by this cold weather, and they must pay to go out. After arranging the payment for each other, Song Jiu didn't ask. Let each yaman go back to the city and call for transportation to pull the money and silk. Pan Weigu also went back to call the car.

Pan Weide and Song Jiu rode back to Song's house together.

On the way, Pan Weide said: "Fortunately, the second king is here. ”

"If he doesn't come, I will punish this uncle today!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'm not happy."

"Dalang, how much is the Shun store worth?"

"A hundred thousand."

"Wrong, you're talking about the cost of its construction, not the real cost, if it were to be auctioned, how much would it cost, one million or two million? This is only part of it, there will be more in the future, since you plan to run Henan, Henan really only builds houses? The cement is handed over to the state, but can we also build a small workshop? ”

"Can you make it privately?"

"I don't know, but I can make it clear to His Majesty, it's called the catfish effect."

"What catfish effect? Brother-in-law, don't say new terms, I don't understand. ”

"It's that after the fish is caught, it is easy to die. Catfish eat fish, if a fierce catfish is put in a large fish bucket, the other fish are nervous and will keep swimming, then the water will come into contact with the air, and the fish will not die due to lack of oxygen. Why did Guozijian delay the construction of the academy in the hands of the imperial court for several years, if it took how long it would take to build the academy in Hezhou, a little more than a year would be enough, and it could be built beautifully. If the cement workshop is monopolized by the state, it may not be a good thing, and the most profitable profit is not to go to the treasury of the three divisions, but to be greedy for ink for the officials. There is a workshop comparison, and the officials dare not be overly greedy for ink. Do you think Your Majesty will agree to this reason after hearing this? ”

"I see."

"There should be more to come. How much will you say that a river island will be worth if it is handed over to the imperial court after forty-seven years? Not to mention the taxes it pays every year, which brings a larger indirect income to the country. I will say that after the appearance of gunpowder, the production of gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, and lead increased by more than 20 million catties, of course, part of the increase in production brought about by the expansion of territory, but in fact the output also increased by more than 150,000 catties. Is Hezhou important, or is Uncle Guo's deed stock important? Could it be that His Majesty will sit back and watch Hezhou let Uncle Guo be used as a slave and cut into pieces? ”

"Probably not."

But Song Jiu didn't have a bottom in his heart, and everything would have an answer at the court meeting tomorrow. (To be continued......)
