Chapter 120: Change (Part II)
Zhao Kuangyin observed carefully.
The people first came to worship, but Zhao Kuangyin let them disperse, and everyone went to do their own things, Lu Duan said the expression, you can see the expression, not everyone is very happy, some people have lost their relatives at home, and there is a faint sadness. But there are also some little ladies who are singing happily.
An old man beckoned a large group of children in the distance, not letting them play far away, a child cried because of something, the old man weng walked over to coax him, and after a while the child broke into laughter.
The scene was very warm.
Li Chongju scratched his head and said, "How good it would be if all the victims of the disaster would have this kind of situation." ”
said that no matter how good it is, it is still a disaster victim, can you still hope that the disaster victims will appear more?
Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyi, and Zhao Pu are pondering.
The things behind it are too complicated, Zhao Kuangyin said: "Zeping, tell me what you think in your heart." ”
"The minister thought it was not easy, this was under the soles of His Majesty's feet, and there were many people watching, General Han and Song Jiu did not dare to be sloppy. Song Jiu himself needed a lot of labor, and it was a blessing for others that being displaced was a burden. ”
Lu Duan touched his beard, Zhao Xianggong said that it was too dark, a great good deed, and there was no credit at all.
"But because there is no reference to it, our dynasty set up box soldiers, one is to resettle the displaced people, the second is to use them for labor to reduce the burden of forced labor on the people, and the third is to select forbidden soldiers, and even those who fail to pass the forbidden military training are reduced to box soldiers, so as to supervise the training of forbidden soldiers. However, large-scale water conservancy, roads, and other projects are certainly not enough for the van soldiers, and they must be mobilized for military purposes. Forced labor is mostly labor. Or a hired person, once a hired person. Tight finances. There are some projects in various states and counties that cannot be equipped for this reason, if this method is used to resettle displaced people. First, the livelihood of the displaced people is guaranteed, and even after the disaster, they can return to their homes and live a normal life with money, and second, it also enables some water conservancy roads that cannot be constructed due to heavy accumulation. However, there are many problems, one is whether it is worth the construction, and the other is that there are no unscrupulous officials and good officials. In Gyeonggi, Hezhou, no one dares to reduce the wages of the victims, and the states and counties may not dare to deduct it. And unlike the hired people, these people are the people of the surrounding counties, although the officials will not dare to go too far. But these victims are rootless duckweed. The Liangchuan surrender incident will occur. Often after a catastrophe, the number of displaced people will not be small, and tens of thousands of people will be counted at every turn. Stirring up a riot is not a good deed, but a disaster. ”
At the mention of Liangchuan, Zhao Kuangyin frowned, it was Zhao Pu who proposed to move more than 100,000 troops to Gyeonggi. It was originally a good thing, compared to Bashu, the population density of the people in the north is very small. There are also many areas that are widows' villages, and these soldiers have moved over, which can solve the problem of middle-aged labor in various states and counties, and second, can lead to the troubles of Bashu.
It was because of Wang Quanbin and his subordinates. It caused large-scale turmoil in the two rivers.
Wang Quanbin dared to deduct this money, so other officials dared to deduct the money of the victims.
"Rulers and intentions!" Zhao Kuangyin said.
The first is to be a good official, and the second is to be attentive. Song Jiu has so many things. However, if you are attentive, then you will become brothers with Qin Zaixiong. even asked Chenzhou to ask for a academy by himself, and I heard that the scale of the academy was okay. More than a dozen gentlemen, including two of Song Jiu's students, more than three hundred students, most of them were the children of the chiefs. also worked hard, so the homeless people had this warm scene.
Could it be that Song Jiu's ability to govern the entire Great Song Dynasty is unrivaled?
Suddenly, he thought of the bet that Song Jiu had made with him, if he lost, Wei Chen would serve His Majesty wholeheartedly, how clear it was, although he was working hard now, he only took out one or two parts of his strength to serve himself.
He smiled and said, "Zeping, think about it more." ”
"Whoa."
Zhao Pudao, the things on the Liangchuan side can't be mentioned much, the Song army can quickly get Shu, that is Meng Chang incompetent, it is not easy to get, some time ago it was Lu Han who rebelled, if it is pressed, Wang Quanbin learns from Meng Zhixiang, it will be a disaster. However, the Song Dynasty sent 40,000 soldiers and horses to the north, and nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses went to Liangchuan, how many more troops and horses can be mobilized? Therefore, Wang Quanbin could only be temporarily appeased, so that he could put down the Sichuan rebellion as soon as possible, so that he and his army could be transferred back to the capital.
Song Jiu now also knows some inside stories, Wang Quanbin played like this, not only harmed the people of Bashu, but also harmed the entire Song Dynasty, making the Song Dynasty's policies slide in another bad direction bit by bit.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Let's go to the laboratory to have a look." ”
Driven by Song Jiu, some new terms appeared in the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Kuangyi suddenly shuddered and said, "Brother Huang, if you look, the last one will call Song Jiu." ”
The guards brought Song Jiu in.
At this time, Song Jiu was teaching, and teaching seemed to be his main job right now.
Zhao Kuangyin wanted to summon him, but he didn't dare not come, and brought a group of people to the test laboratory, which could not be said to be a test laboratory, and the scale was getting bigger and bigger. On the edge is a small asbestos tile workshop, Zhao Kuangyin looked at them with interest and asked, "Song Jiu, the test was successful?" ”
"It's basically successful, but there are some shortcomings, its cost is still expensive, it can only be said that it is a little better than the watt, but there are also drawbacks."
"What's the downside?"
Wei Chen looked at the warehouses of the imperial court, and mostly used mud walls to build stacks, and thatched grass on the roof. Although the thatch is changed every year, and the mud walls have to be repaired, the cost is cheap. The area is not large, and it can be compensated for by quantity. But it has more disadvantages, it needs to send people to prevent fire, and once a fire breaks out, it will be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye. The second is the loss, its volume determines that it is very crowded, easy to mold, easy to cause rat consumption, and to keep turning the sun and attract birds, this loss can not be counted, and the loss that cannot be counted will attract some other larger mice. ”
"Yes, this giant rat is too harmful," Zhao Kuangyin said happily.
"If bricks and tiles are used instead, the cost of building warehouses is too high, they can be built large, and the cost is even higher, and the thick beams and columns that are only supported cannot be estimated. With asbestos tiles, these problems can be mostly improved, it is lightweight, and more large warehouses can be built, and large warehouses can be ventilated and reduce the rate of mildew. The ground is made of concrete, and the problem of rat consumption can also be greatly improved. Even with rat consumption, if it is completely turned over, the rat consumption will not be able to take root. The loss is reduced, and the rat is greedy, and he does not dare to be greedy, which is the majority of the loss. ”
"Well said." Zhao Kuangyin said, in fact, there are mixed tastes in his heart, is this an official or a thief?
"The last advantage is that if the amount of iron in the future surges and the steel supervisor increases, steel can be used instead of wooden beams, and it can also prevent fire. If a fire breaks out in a warehouse, the fire will not spread too quickly, and the fire can be extinguished in time. But the shortcomings are also obvious, first of all, it is light, Your Majesty, you see, this is Weichen deliberately increasing the cost of thickening. Otherwise, it's lighter. As soon as the breeze rises, there will be ups and downs. Now it has not yet been paved with a roof, but it is also painted by Weichen, and cement eaves are built around it, and some long wooden strips are used to press the tiles in the middle. However, it can also be easily damaged and will have to be rotated every few years. Otherwise, if it is damaged, the rain will enter the storehouse. ”
Zhao Kuangyin nodded, this is indeed a shortcoming.
"The second is the cost, because it is light, the imperial court can do what it can, the large warehouse with a brick wall or stone wall, the small warehouse can use a mud wall, in fact, it is a mud wall, as long as the base is thick, you can also build a large warehouse. At most, build a rodent-proof stone wall underneath. However, it comes with some costs of its own. Now the cost is not as good as tiles, large-scale production, technology is gradually improved, and the cost will be able to drop a little. However, there are two constraints, one is freight, and the other is official. When the officials come to ship, the freight will become very high, or the people will be harsh. Handed over to the businessmen to transport, the ability to run the official business are all big businessmen, and the freight has always been shipped, but it will be sold as three times freight in their hands. No matter how much this cost is reduced, it still can't be reduced. Either it is to buy and buy, all of which are handed over to the people to operate, and buying itself is a disadvantage, and it is the small and medium-sized businessmen and workshop owners who are hurt, and the gap between the rich and the poor is large, and the country will not be stable either. Therefore, Weichen thought that if he wanted to use it in large quantities, he should also consider this cost, and use it to compare it with the loss of the original warehouse, and do what he can. After the warehouses were built, Weichen calculated the cost and wrote a notebook and handed it to His Majesty to read. ”
In fact, it is still feasible, don't think that the construction cost of the warehouse in the Song Dynasty is not large, but the storage loss is too amazing, often reaching 30%, 40%, or even 50% of the people in a year.
However, Zhao Kuangyin muttered: "Ruler." ”
Zhao Pu is still talking about the rule of officials, and Song Jiu is still talking about the rule of officials.
However, Song Jiu laughed in his heart, as long as it continues to be the official-oriented thinking, this official rule can never be solved, even if it is Zhu Yuanzhang's kind of picking up the skin of corrupt officials to make a drum.
Han Chongyun also heard the news and greeted him.
Zhao Kuangyin asked again: "Song Jiu, why is there no cement road here?" ”
"Your Majesty, it is temporary, in the future this will be a residential area, most of the trials will be transferred to the academy, and a small part to the workshop."
"Take me in and have a look."
Zhao Kuangyin didn't dare to take risks, there was gunpowder in it, and there were things that could turn mutton into coke, which was too dangerous. First let Song Jiu take it into the front yard, and saw a lot of ores, Song Jiu stroked them affectionately, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's knowledge is not good, otherwise most of this ore will play a great role." Even the fertilizer that will increase the grain in the future will need ore. ”
"By the way, what about your three fertile soils?"
Song Jiu found a few pieces of ore and handed them to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin looked at the perlite and said, "They are very beautiful." ”
"It has nothing to do with beauty, as long as it can be used, it doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, it's a good cat if it can catch mice, and if it can't catch mice, it's not a good cat, just like this peat, which plays a greater role in the three fertile soils."
"It's too vulgar, it's too vulgar," Lu Duan couldn't help but say, what a philosophical sentence, but it wasn't the same thing that came out of Song Jiu's mouth. Song Jiu looked at Lu Duan, thinking to himself that the person who said this original word had a melon seed, even you are not as good as him.
Zhao Kuangyin also shook his head, and Song Jiu said again: "If Your Majesty is free, the minister will take you to Henan to have a look, and talk about the three fertile soil specifically." ”
"Okay," Zhao Kuangyin said, wondering about this, let's take a look by the way.
Seeing some strange things again, Song Jiu said: "Some are studying anti-rust paint, the production of iron has surged, iron will be widely used, there must be it, and some are inspired by Weichen, some are continuing to study, and some feel that it is not good and give up." Time is too tight. ”
Speaking of which, Song Jiu really wanted to say, I'm so short of time, what did your old man ask me to do in Sichuan? (To be continued......)
