Chapter 234: Pleasure Island

Seeing Yuping, Song Jiu happily picked her up.

On the front line, living a hard life, as well as tragic offensive and defensive battles, bloody battles, and the howls of wounded soldiers, Song Jiu had enough.

Apple smiled happily.

Song Jiu still saw a trace of worry on her brows, and said, "Yuping, the war is over, the front-line guard will not be so strict, send someone to ask." ”

"Hmm."

"Where's the pity?"

"Her two sisters-in-law took her back to live."

Song Jiu nodded, the front line is hard, and staying in the warehouse is also hard, it is normal for the mother's family to care. He went to see the students again and checked their studies. This batch of students studied for a long time, reaching more than 18 months, and they still had to study until the end of July. Classes have also been added to maximize the number of students who will enter middle school together, rather than in the fifth grade. Looking at it, most of the learning is good. This is the phenomenon that is and may continue to be maintained in the future. Until more than 20 years later, perhaps there are more schools around the country, and students are gradually becoming less valuable, and if it is not an opportunity, there will be many students who do not cherish it. But by that time, the natural sciences would have blossomed long ago.

I don't know if Lu Dao can spell Confucianism......

This is nearly half a year, there is a lot to do, the beginner textbook has been written, and it has also been printed and sold. Books are plentiful and expensive, not as enthusiastic as they were at the beginning. But it's basically still sold out. This is for beginners, and the teaching materials for international students are also needed, and the people of Lianghe will distribute a batch. That is, it is a matter of money. But the middle school book was not printed, and it was reluctantly corrected, and Song Jiu had to go through the correction and annotation himself. For example, "Qi Min Yaoshu" said that planting beans can fertilize the field. But he didn't say why he was fertilizing, so Song Jiu had to explain the principle below.

For the time being, it will not be available for sale. However, it must be printed before the opening of the college, especially the printing. There were so many books, all carved into engravings. When it comes to printing, this time is very tight. Things were done step by step, and Yuping whispered one thing in the back: "Jiulang, the second king secretly sent someone to borrow money from the slave family, and it happened that the batch of Liuli in Quanzhou made some money and came back, and the slave family thought that Zhao Xianggong would finally have bad intentions towards Jiulang...... The only one who could resist him was the two kings, who quietly left the gold of the money together, a total of more than 2,700 taels, and put them in a small jar. As a sea goods, it was quietly sent to his house. ”

The gold is precious, more than 2,700 taels are worth a lot of money, but in fact it is only 160 catties, and the volume is not large. Song Jiu still asked worriedly: "Can someone know the way." ”

Guo Er handled it, and then transferred it to Liu Hai. No one will know about it, unless Guo Er and Liu Hai say it to outsiders. ”

"Not really." Song Jiu looked up at the East Water Gate to the west.

Maybe Zhao Kuangyi has not had the ambition to be the emperor until now, he used this heart to buy people and fight with Zhao Pu miserably. It seems that Zhao Kuangyi is in the capital this time. It's not a small action in the dark.

And he said, "Jade, no matter how vicious they fight, we maintain a posture of staying out of the matter. can't participate, otherwise the emperor will not like it. ”

"What did the slave do wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. In general. The second king will not ask for money, this time it is special. Give it to him if you ask for it. However, don't get too close. Song Jiu said vaguely, even he couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and he was instructing Yuping.

"Jiulang, but there is not much money in the family, this time we deducted more than 210,000 yuan in taxes, and only divided more than 40,000 yuan in money. The 150,000 taels of houses in Lianghe are all used, and the slave family estimates that they will have to subsidize 20,000 taels to build the houses in Lianghe......

"Use it, don't worry about it, I won't host the breeding site this year, the money is enough, and there are four ships next year that will bring income, and the money earned is used."

"Hmm."

"What's going on in the various offices?"

"What dynamics can they have? The deed shares increased by more than 300,000 yuan, and more than 100,000 yuan were divided, but my family's money was used up before and after I got it, including the money from selling colored glass, and people did not release it in the Southern Han Dynasty. Who can still have an opinion? ”

"How are they selling?"

"I made a little money, not much, and the most popular ones saw that there were many goods, and they lowered the price together, and many people were so angry that they sold them to the people of Wuyue in Hangzhou. Some people picked up the goods again, and some people were not happy to go. However, the slave family heard that someone picked up the goods and went to Quanzhou. ”

Song Jiu bittersweet, it seems that the market in Quanzhou will collapse again in a few months.

"Let's go, accompany me to Hezhou for a walk."

The two of them left the dock, first looked at the arena and the academy, the outside was built, there were still some small links inside that had not been repaired, and there were also some questions, waiting for Song Jiu to come back and deal with them. After Song Jiu entered, he pointed them out one by one.

They also become landscapes. The arena is very large, with a total of 8,000 seats, and there are pillars and beams below, with concrete lines and transparent glass roofs on them, and half of the inside is actually made of coarse steel, which is used to increase the firmness and reduce the weight, and the cost is very high. It can only accommodate so many people, and the difficulty of construction increases, and I am afraid that there will not be so many people coming in, and I am afraid that there will not be enough if there are few, so the final setting is 8,000 people. The wavy glass on the outside has dark colors such as black and blue tea, which is both heavy and sporty. There is also a lobby, which is where gambling is placed. On the east side is the restaurant. The eldest sister said that her location is not good, the best location is here, the neighborhood is full of attractions, opposite the East Square, the gate of the playground. However, it belongs to the river island industry and is not allowed to be entered by outsiders.

and many other supporting facilities.

The college has also changed from the previous concept, it is bigger, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many students, including the test laboratory has also become larger. And the landscape has also become more beautiful, and some corners are almost strictly designed in accordance with high-end gardens. The outside is the courtyard wall, but it is semi-enclosed, and there are many fences to see the scenery inside.

But it is not surprising, what is surprising is that along the north bank of Nanbianshui and the east side of the Hulong River, along the north bank of Nanbianshui and the east side of the Hulong River, all kinds of leafy flowers are made of painted wood and various hollow glazes, mainly peonies, mixed with Dutch plum chrysanthemum. Of course, it is bigger than the real flower, and some are ten times larger. In addition to the water pavilion carved fence that extends to the outside and the location of several cylinder cars. Almost all of them are covered with this artificial flower. It's still floating, and when the water rises, it rises. When the water falls, it also falls, but there are some hidden piles below to fix them slightly to prevent the water from rushing away, and there are crossbeams attached to the outside to prevent the painting boat from getting out of control and crashing into it. Now I am afraid that Zhao Pu will be able to detect something, Song Jiu did not make a move, otherwise there will be the same on the other side.

Artificial flowers and real flowers are as good-looking, at least they are "open" all year round. In addition, seven flying bridges fly over Nanbian like a rainbow, and tourists on both sides of this five-to-six-mile-long Bianshui River never stop day and night.

Also, there is the square, which not only has tall monuments, countless open spaces for visitors to rest, various landscapes, but also some animals. For example, deer roe deer, monkey mountain, more than two dozen wolves. There are also two valuable animals.

One is the iron-eating beast, which is still a rare animal, and Song Jiu sent people to Qinling and spent a lot of money. Only about 20 were caught. The hunters of the mountains and wilderness were a little afraid of it, first, because of its great strength and second, because of some strange legends. In fact it does not eat iron at all, because sometimes there is a lack of salt. Running to the farmer's house to lick the stove is mainly to lick its residual salt. Because of the developed teeth, sometimes the stove is broken, and the common people think that it eats iron. In fact, its main food is bamboo, or occasionally it catches some arrowworm tooth offerings. When you come to Hezhou, you can eat bamboo if you want to eat bamboo, and if you want to eat meat, you can have meat.

In fact, its personality is still very gentle, it roared like thunder when it was caught, and after a few days, some ate and drank, the environment seemed to be good, and even occasionally enjoyed a feast of ice water, one by one docile, just to occupy the pool, a few strong iron-eating beasts fought.

After the keeper feeds them, they gradually obey the instructions of the keeper and bathe them, and their coat becomes clean and beautiful. Until it was opened to the public, it attracted countless tourists to watch. The way it looks is so cute.

Then there is the king of beasts, the tiger. The number of tigers in this era was unimaginable. Shaanzhou, in particular, has seriously affected people's contacts and life safety. Forced by the number of tigers, Zhao Kuangyin summoned warriors to fight tigers in Shaanzhou the year before last. Seventeen-year-old Li Jilong, a little strong man in the capital, led the order to lead people to fight tigers. Song Jiu found him and gave him funding, you'd better not kill them one by one, and leave a few alive for me. It's not like Wu Song to fight tigers, but to use various tools, a group of people to fight tigers, and if they can be killed, they can be captured alive, but it is slightly more difficult to capture them alive. Zhao Kuangyin also knew what to say, but he didn't say anything. So Xiao Lizi went to fight tigers, hunted more than 20 at once, and let Song Jiu buy all of them to make Shundian dishes, but the money was handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court did not ask for it, and all the rewards were given to Li Jilong and his men. In addition, Song Jiu left seven live tigers, both female and male, Song Jiu was placed in Shaanzhou to send a special person to take care of it, and one died, but a female tiger was pregnant and gave birth to three baby tigers. Only two survived, and the main ones were scared, afraid to approach, and could not be cared for. The eight tigers were transported to Hezhou together and placed in the tiger house, which is not small. I'm afraid, but there are also a lot of people to watch.

This is free and open to the public, either selling some cloth toys, or a few restaurants making a little profit, certainly not enough for the huge cost of raising so many beasts. They belong to the inverted parts of the riverbank, but they attract more tourists, which is more important than making money. It was only at this time that Riverzhou gradually became a veritable island of pleasure. Today is not a major festival, but a good day, with tourists everywhere weaving and sweating like rain. Looking across the trees, the original teahouses and restaurants were placed on the west side, many people were not satisfied, some of the locations were a little inferior, and the price of auction and rent was frighteningly low. It was only then that the joy blossomed. But it won't be too long, and it will be a remake next winter, and that will be sky-high.

The actual square has become the largest tourist distribution center in Hezhou, and the area is five times larger than Song Jiu's original plan.

Song Jiu looked at the eldest sister's liquor shop again, and didn't see the eldest sister and the seventh sister, but because it was the only designated supply point for soju, the business was even more prosperous, and it was almost full.

Song Jiu didn't go in to see, and came to the iron-eating beast stadium again, there was barbed wire outside, the sun was big, only a few iron-eating beasts ran out, frolicking outside, resting and bowing, and one of them also ran to the edge of the cage and stretched out its little paws as if to greet tourists. A few children were outside in a hurry to reach out and touch it, where could they touch it.

Yuping said: "Someone asked about the housing prices on the west side of the slave house. ”

"Don't worry, the year after tomorrow." Song Jiudao.

After turning around, it was getting dark, and the two went back.

……

Zhao Kuangyin returned in vain, Zhao Pu was not wrong, on the contrary, his prestige was higher. I said that I couldn't fight, but the emperor didn't listen, and I suffered a loss in front of me, and many soldiers died, not to mention, and there was also a serious deficit in the state finances, and the people in dozens of states were not allowed to rest.

This is to think in the dark, to think in the light, that is, after the capture of Taiyuan, there will be many follow-up things, such as whether the Khitan will be willing, will not be willing, and the two countries will inevitably go to war. The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are the gates of the Central Plains, held in the hands of the Khitans, and many generals are unwilling. But it is also an important grain production base of the Khitan, with it, the Khitan will never encounter the same cold weather as before, because a large number of livestock freeze to death, and half of the people will starve to death. Then the two countries will inevitably fight until one side completely bows its head and concedes defeat. His policy of first the south and then the north is basically over!

The result made Zhao Pu very satisfied.

The army returned to the dynasty in a mighty way, Song Jiu came back first, he had a lot of things, and the academy was also waiting for the teaching materials, asking Zhao Kuangyin, at that time, the army was retreating, and the logistics were not so tight. Therefore, he was allowed to come back first.

It was almost twenty days after Song Jiu arrived home before the army returned to the capital.

As soon as Zhao Pu arrived home, he found out that something was wrong, the reason was very simple, there were fewer people who came to flatter, and the people sent someone to secretly check, and all of them ran to Kaifeng Mansion.

Oh, it's not good, this walk is not a short time, more than six months back and forth, all let Zhao Kuangyi dig the foot of the wall.

In terms of means, Zhao Kuangyi can't do him now, but Zhao Kuangyi has an advantage, that is, he is very similar to his eldest brother, life is not so luxurious, even if it is extravagant, it is the same, show it to his eldest brother, I am relieved to be a rich king.

Including the more than 2,000 taels of gold obtained from Yuping, all of them have been scattered in the past few months. So people's hearts were bought by Zhao Kuangyi bit by bit.

In the early days, they realized that something was wrong, and many officials nodded to Zhao Kuangyi, lukewarm to him, the prime minister. That's not all, his henchman Zhao Feng fell ill when he returned to the capital because of his ineffective errands and fatigue, and he couldn't serve as an official director. Zhao Pu looked at all this blankly, not knowing what to do.

He thought about it, and he definitely wanted to fight back, but he couldn't target all the middle and lower-level officials who had rebelled, the blow would be too big, and Zhao Kuangyin would not allow him to come like this. However, it is not necessary to hit so many people, only one person is enough.

Fu Yanqing!

It's going to be very, very tough.

So Zhao Pu fell ill. (To be continued......)
