Chapter 280: A Terrible Misunderstanding (I)

"Aren't you happy?" The little princess asked.

Song Jiu made the little young woman laugh and said, "I'm very happy, so happy." ”

"You don't look happy."

"Ha-ha-ha," Song Jiu laughed dryly and said, "Your Highness, does it have to be like this?" ”

Yuping was happy on the side, didn't she say that she would be an official in the future, with her husband's talent, as long as she was not blind, she would use him as an official sooner or later, what was there to be happy about. But she amused Song Jiu's strange appearance.

The little princess felt wrong, after all, she was still young, and she didn't know what was wrong, so she said: "What you said about making a fortune is carrying sugar cane, and you still need to teach it." ”

"You don't understand, sugarcane is not easy to carry, I just arrived in Guizhou and tasted a sugarcane, not too sweet, but the south is hot, suitable for growing sugarcane, I am very puzzled," Song Jiu, some of him did not say, how famous is Lingnan sugarcane in later generations? Therefore, when he saw the sugarcane that the people of Guizhou offered him the best cane, he was very disappointed at that time, and said: "At that time, I thought that the reasons were that the fertilizer was insufficient, and the second was improper planting, but fortunately, I invited the old sugarcane farmers from Suining to come to Guangnan in advance. He then experimented with a number of farms, including pigs, chickens, and fish, carrying a variety of crops, with a focus on cotton and sugar cane. I guessed half right, one is that the planting method is more backward, but this is also normal, the cultivation in Lingnan states is very backward, and the second is fertilizer, the fertilizer keeps up with the growth of sugarcane, especially after applying a lot of fermented farm fertilizer, sugarcane not only grows well, but also very sweet. In general, the eastern part of Quang Nam is better than the western one. Most of the west is still not good. But there are a few that are growing particularly well. Then I summarized them and found that the ones that grew particularly well were all small enclosures that had been temporarily enclosed. So keep thinking about it. It was found that the western part of Quang Nam is mostly sour, sticky, thin, and plate-based red and yellow soil, with little organic matter. Very acidic, of course. It can also be transformed, such as applying lime and sprinkling more plant ash, but no matter how it is transformed, the current technology is backward, and it is far less good than the growth of the field. That is, if you want to carry sugarcane, you must rush to Quang Nam to encircle the fields within the specified area with the consent of the government. ”

"I know what to say. It is to fence those swamps, why should the government agree to do so? ”

"Fence transformation, but also must leave the river flood discharge, leave the lake flood storage, how can we not have the consent of the government, not only the enclosed fields to plant sugarcane, cotton, crops are very good. The large-scale encirclement is a joint effort of the people, and private individuals cannot do it. There is no manpower to build an embankment, there is no manpower to take care of the river embankment for flood control and flood control, only a small circle together, so that the seven pick and eight are selected. How many areas are suitable? So if you want to get rich, you should go early. ”

"Then why don't you run it?"

"You have a lot of problems, it's not that I don't run it. I can't run a business, after all, I held an official position in Quang Nam. The reputation is not bad, since it guides the people to plant under the slogan. But if you run it yourself, and you don't speak, what will the people think? Therefore, except for the slow harvest of some tea trees in the mountainous areas and the longer time, it is basically contracted for two years, including the technical skills and cultivated land to be handed over to the people. ”

But Song Jiu didn't say anything else.

In order to confuse some powerful children in the past, that is one of his worries, some local wealthy and powerful families, there are barbarian leaders, there are Han large landlords, except for Yong Rong rebelled in some areas and exerted ruthless hands, other areas were afraid of causing greater riots, so they mainly focused on Jing and did not move. This made Song Jiu feel very bad. His intuition is right, in the history of Nong's high wisdom and rebellion and Jiaozhi invasion, these heroes and big landlords watched from the wall, the first two wanted to touch, but they were beaten bloody by these heroes. He had strength in his hands, but he ignored the court and the people, and killed more than 100,000 people in tacit light. Usually more powerful, their existence increased the difficulty of governance, so Lingnan sank again, and then the Ming Dynasty came, the Qing Dynasty came, the best place to go, but it became the slowest place in China. Song Jiu didn't know that this history of Lu Dao was just an intuition, maybe these powerful children had been operating in the past, and there would be some contradictions. However, they also have a huge amount of strength, so they can suppress the local tyrants. The interests of the magnates in the south are heavy, and the imperial court has to pay attention to it. There are too many people, and there is no way for Song Jiu to suffer from malaria, but what miasma and Gu will become floating clouds.

The country thinks well, or in the south.

This is the general trend, the north of the water and soil destruction, low output, can not become the economic center of the Song Dynasty, can only become the political center and military center.

can be good, he still hopes that the Song Dynasty will be good, although Zhao Da and Zhao Er's feminine spirit makes him very uncomfortable.

"I believe you, but you can't say anything bad about Hebei again."

Zhao Kuangyin thought wrong, and Song Jiu also thought wrong, because Lao Wei's character was still good, but he didn't expect him to have a baby son, and they all thought that Zhao Chengzong had cast a yin hand in the middle and instigated the use of this little princess.

Anyway, Zhao Chengzong was very sad during this time.

Song Jiu thought for a while and said, "Do you know how I became an official in Guangnan?" ”

"I don't know what to do."

Song Jiu ran to the grocery room and brought a flat pole and a pair of baskets, then took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs, and walked around the courtyard with a basket on his shoulder, saying, "That's how I became an official." ”

"You're a man."

"I've done it more than once or twice, not a lot of times. In the winter of the year before last, Guangzhou was building a seawall that was more than 30 miles long, and the students calculated the time, worried that the embankment foundation would not be built well before the 15th National Tide. If the people pick a burden, I will pick a burden, and if the people pick a heavy burden, I will also pick a heavy burden. Then when it was time to rest in the evening, I was so tired that I had blood blisters on my shoulders. I asked Wang Zhen to give me a wound medicine, and this kid was very fierce when he slashed me with a knife, causing me to lie down for dozens of days. But then he cried, and I came up with the idea of deliberately making the blood blisters visible to the people. As a result, the people cried together, and I was embarrassed to pretend. The next day I continued to work with them, and as a result countless women, old people, and children came over, and the embankment was built at the twelfth of the year. ”

"Wow," Apple listened to the sour voice on the side, but countless little stars flashed in the little princess's eyes.

Song Jiu said: "Huizhou is mountainous, but fortunately, Longchuan passes through Huizhou, so some enclosed fields were built. But there was a miscalculation when there was a large enclosure, and the embankment was slightly thinner. When the summer flood arrives, there is a rare storm. Dangers keep happening. I exhorted the people to leave. But the crops inside were so vigorous that many people were reluctant to leave. I couldn't persuade him, so I had to save the siege. He stopped on the embankment and said that since everyone was unwilling to leave, we would protect the embankment, and we would go to the embankment together, and surround the people and kill them. And then take everyone to work. In fact, I am hairy in my heart, and I am afraid that something will happen. Although there were no more people in the enclosure, there were many people on the embankment, and if any place collapsed, people would drown, so they stayed up for two days and two nights without sleeping, and the enclosure was preserved. After the hurricane, the river was small, and after the crisis, I fell asleep on the embankment. ”

"Wow." The little princess cried out again in surprise.

Actually, that's it. But this is how people's hearts are warmed up bit by bit, and he urges the people, and the people in turn move him.

Song Jiu continued: "Your Highness, do you want to learn from me. Come to a casual dress close to the people. ”

"Yes."

Song Jiu whispered in Yuping's ear, and Yuping said softly, "It's not appropriate." ”

"It's a big deal that Yanchen impeached me, I just want to rest for a while. It's best to impeach me. You have to let Your Highness see it with your own eyes, and Your Majesty can believe it. Song Jiu also said in a low voice.

Ping was helpless. Summoned the little princess over and dressed her in a normal outfit. disguised as a little maidservant, and asked two eunuchs and two servants to follow, but the maidservant didn't let her take it, and called six guards to accompany her to protect her. The eunuch was not happy, and Song Jiu said, "Do you want Your Highness to be a good Highness?" ”

It's too silent.

Let the guards take the little princess to the glaze workshop in Hezhou to see, and then look at the glaze workshop in Hebei. Not in the name of the princess, but in the name of looking for relatives. Let her see it with her own eyes and compare it for herself.

The little princess left excitedly.

"It turns out that being an official is like this, so it's better not to be an official," Yuping said softly with a flash of regret in her eyes.

"There's no way, the people say that they are good officials, and they can't let them down, so they have to be good officials, and this good official is doing hard." Song Jiu said with a smile. Start meditating.

Among the large-scale tests in this series, several furnaces are the most important, blast furnaces, converters, rotary furnaces, reverberatory furnaces, lead furnaces, which are also known as lead chambers in academic terms, burners for burning saltpeter and sulfur, and incinerators for burning sulfur. The latter two are relatively simple, and the complex is how to turn the gas into a liquid. The first few are very complicated, but it depends on it, if you pursue advanced technology, it is a pipe dream, but it is not too difficult to pursue primitive technology, at least the kind of craft furnace in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it is not too difficult, and now there are gradually mature conditions, this condition is not the support of the economy and the imperial court, but there are many more skilled craftsmen, as well as more knowledgeable students as helpers. Guan Jian is that Song Jiu can't remember the relevant principles, otherwise with his current conditions, he will successfully study all of them within two or three months. Because he can't remember the details, he has to explore slowly, and this process of meditation is more important than the process of testing.

I thought about it for a long time.

Then it's funny, the difficulty is that one big and one small, precision miniaturization is difficult, big is also difficult, like a blast furnace to change a lot of money not to mention, the speed is still slow. Relatively easy for medium-sized machinery, such as those in the playground, the names of the crossbow and the tiger cannon.

I found a pen, wrote down a few objects of thought, looked up at the sky and said, "Why hasn't that little princess come back yet?" ”

The little princess has poked a big leak over there.

A few guards took her to the Hezhou glaze workshop first, and there were a few guard workers who didn't know each other, but they knew Guo Da, and they didn't know who this little Lori was, why did Guo Da look respectful? If she wants to see it, let her see it.

I think it's very novel, it turns out that those exquisite glazes are made in this way, before the glaze comes out of the workshop, it is still Song Jiu's industry, Guo Da said, you take it if you like it. Anyway, she is the emperor's favorite little daughter, and it is best to be happy.

I really took a few, and even she went up and blew it with a brass pipe, and after blowing for a long time, she blew out a small ball and happily brought it. Then asked the wages of the workers, Guo Da also answered, three dollars a month, in addition to some rewards, there are rewards during the New Year's holidays, and there are some overtime pay, the actual average can be close to five dollars per month, in addition to the share of deed shares, especially this year, a large number of deed shares are released, everyone has bought some, and these workers will earn more in the future.

The little princess didn't take it seriously. It's a lot of money.

Guo Da is silent, for her, it is very little.

After showing her the houses, the little princess said, "Normal."

Guo Da was silent again, for her, it was average, not even as good as the horse in the Horse Mansion.

Is this the case, I immediately went to Hebei to know the way, and took her to Hebei again, pointed to those thatched sheds and said: "This is the house of the servants of the Hebei workshop." ”

The little princess's face darkened, and she walked in to see, at least for her, simplicity is not a place for people to live. Then he came to the workshop, Guo Da was familiar with the face, and did not go in, but asked a few fresh-faced guards invited by the Song family to take the little princess to go in and watch in the name of looking for relatives.

She went in just in time to see a scene where the director was whipping people with a leather whip, whipping the servants to cry wolf, and their bodies were torn apart. She couldn't stand it anymore and snatched the leather whip from her. The director was furious, scolded, and asked people to take down the little princess, and the guard stepped forward and shouted: "Her Royal Highness the princess is here, you don't count scolding Your Highness, you still want to arrest Your Highness, I think you are dizzy." ”

The director broke out in a cold sweat.

The little princess's face was even more gloomy, so she asked how the servants were beaten, and asked them how they were paid, whether they had rest days, and overtime pay. The more he asked, the more annoyed he became, and he said, "You brought them the contract." ”

The supervisor did not dare not take it.

The little princess took these contracts and read the names one by one, basically all there. Then he burned them with a fire and said, "Come with me, and I will go to Henan in a while." ”

He then went to the second shed, which was similar to Hezhou, with long rows of tiled houses, or long rows of asbestos tiled houses, and ordinary glass windows, otherwise the servants could not see clearly inside. But it is not a shed, and the entire glaze industry is divided into more than a dozen places like Hezhou.

And after more than a year of hard work, more high-end glass can be blown out gradually.

Rescuing the servants of one shed is not counted, but the servants of more sheds must be rescued.

The little princess rebelled with her servants.

The servants were overjoyed, the director was dumbfounded, and several of the guards were dumbfounded. Guo Da heard the movement inside outside, broke in, and was also dumbfounded. Then he rode back quickly to report to Song Jiu, and Song Jiu was even more dumbfounded. (To be continued......)
