Chapter Forty-Six: The Eight Grades
Zhao Kuangyi and Li Chongju began to be in a daze, and looked at Song Jiu again, Song Jiu said with a smile: "Second king, Li Si Envoy, this is the true meaning of mathematics." Come and see, fold it once, and divide it in two, fold it twice and divide it into four, and fold it four times, and divide it into sixteen. It is folded eight times, divided into two hundred and fifty-six times. It's almost to the limit of how much this piece of paper can be folded. But what about 16 folds, more than 60,000 times, and what if 32 folds? It's more than 400 million. What if it is folded sixty-four times? What about a hundred times? ”
Li Chongju was also sweating, waved his hand, and said to the little official who wanted to get rich and rushed up to fold it: "Okay, you can go home to retire." ”
The little official was sad.
Song Jiu said: "The simple is not necessarily so simple, and the complex is not necessarily so complicated. The Tang people produced Mo knives, mostly up to 100 folds of forged steel, so how many times did they fold? A hundred times or a hundred times. Because after each folding, the craftsman hammers it again, and then folds it after it becomes a whole. And not a hundred times, for what this steel will be sharp, in the hammering process there is a carbide alloying process. On the surface, it is folded a hundred times, but in fact, the whole steel is divided into trillions and billions of faces, and the uniform carbonization is made, so the first-class good steel is produced. That's how it works. However, I see that now, I haven't seen any records related to the technique, Envoy Li, you are also derelict in your duties. Although it is a trail, it is also a trail that benefits the country and the people, and it cannot but be recorded. ”
Li Chongju was still in a daze, obviously a hundred and trillions of trillions seemed to be too far apart, how could they be connected?
This is a very confusing misunderstanding, if it weren't for Song Jiu's origami performance, most people would think that this kind of hundred-fold steel was only hammered a hundred times, two hundred sides. In fact, every time you fold and fold again, it is not as simple as two sides, less than two hundred squares, but far more than two hundred sides.
"The technique is very important, a technique can double the iron production, another technique doubles, and the third technique doubles, in fact, how many times has it increased, not three times, but eight times!"
Some are circumventing.
However, both of them are extremely smart people, and after thinking about it for a while, they finally figured it out.
Song Jiu said what alloys, what elements, and what he said, it was in vain. But doing a simple origami test is more effective than anything else. The two glanced at each other, their eyes full of anticipation. At least sixty percent of them are believed. So there was a second edict.
Listening to Song Jiu's opinions, he changed the decree to inspect the rights of the pits on Hebei Road, and was promoted to a first-level official, and was assigned to the twenty-third rank of the eighth rank of the official undertaker. If you are promoted to a regular eight-rank loose official all of a sudden, it may be the same thing, some ministers will oppose it, and the voice will not be very strong, but it is just a loose official, not a professional official or a bad official, although there is a rank, it is not expensive. However, this level was promoted one level at a time, and in a few months, Zhu San began to talk nonsense again.
Song Jiu ignored him, looking at the four people in front of him, the two were the Guo brothers who were the tenants of his family who sold dog skin plasters, the big hammer smashed on people, if Song Jiu was allowed to practice, he would also be able to play, it was the principle of pressure in mechanics.
But this pair of brothers Kong Wu is powerful, what is the martial arts, Song Jiu has not practiced, I don't know very well, it is estimated that there are martial arts, but martial arts may not be. Although the two brothers are fooling people, they keep practicing boxing every day, and they have never tried, although Song Jiu has the credit of his father Song De, and he is strong, but he thinks that the skills of this pair of brothers are not weak. And if you have been floating in the rivers and lakes for a long time, you may not have been stabbed, but you can also be regarded as well-informed.
There is another person, Boss Hu, whether the Guo brothers have fought Song Jiu is not clear, even if he has fought, he has not seen it, Hu Boss has fought many times He has witnessed it with his own eyes, the last time he fought with Hebei Lide Group, he put down four big men alone, and he was released back after beating a hundred rods in Kaifeng Mansion.
The last one is also the coolie Miao Hui on the river embankment, originally born as a hunter, his hometown suffered from floods, his family moved to the capital, he has a good archery skill, Song Jiu often runs to the river island, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, some wild fowl, I have seen Miao Hui shoot an arrow into a wild pheasant flying into the sky. There are so many people in the river, there should be some strange people, but they have not seen it, and after hearing the rumors, Song Jiu did not believe it. So only these four people were found.
Boss Hu grinned and said, "Xiao Jiu, what do you mean, let me be your part." ”
"Hu Xingtou, what part do I have to do there? It's up to you to go or not. ”
"It's okay to go, but I affirm it first, I'm not your ministry, I'm not your slave."
"Okay."
"Also, I went for the sake of your good hometown in the river, not to bother you."
"Don't listen to Zhu San going crazy, I'm just a loose official, what's worth stuttering, going to Hebei can't be regarded as an errand, just take a look, and return to Beijing quickly."
"Boy, it's the eighth grade, that's the position of a loose official who was awarded the top student in the examination."
"Yes, there are still officials and officials, where is my official and officials?"
"You kid be content."
The eldest sister didn't know the story behind the scenes, she just laughed on the side, laughing from the morning to now, and almost never closed her mouth. Yuping stood aside gently, also with a subtle smile, seeing Song Jiu settle the four of them, Yuping said: "Jiulang, you do things for the imperial court, and you are also an official of the imperial court, you can't lose the face of the imperial court, this is the brocade clothes sewn by the slave family for you." ”
When she opened the bag, she found a well-embroidered brocade robe, which had clearly taken a lot of effort to sew her.
"Thank you."
"No thanks, this is the slave's business."
Hu Lao laughed loudly, there is an inside story!
"Hu Xingtou, don't think about it."
Before the words fell, a large group of people poured outside, Song Jiu was not well-informed, some people were well-informed, the Fu family, the Pan family, the Cao family, the Han family, most of these sons and brothers who had dealings with Song Jiu gathered to arrive, Fu Zhaoshou hugged Song Jiuyi and said: "Jiulang, you are not interesting enough, you have been promoted, and you will not be notified." ”
When he reached the eighth grade of loose officials, in a sense, he could really interact with them.
"Fu Saburo, this promotion is to do things, if things are done badly, it is not called promotion, it is called looking for guilt, what is there to notify?"
That's okay, they are arguing for Song Jiu to have a treat, they don't have to go to the main store to break the bank, and they do it at home like last time, especially the fruit, make a little more, and prepare to eat it and take it home with them. In the midst of the commotion, a bigger big man arrived, Zhao Kuangyi.
Zhao Kuangyi was not the oldest in this group, but when he saw him coming, they were silent and respectfully saluted. Song Jiu sighed in his heart, and he also had to give a salute.
"Let's be free together, why are you here too?"
Song Jiu saw Zhao Kuangyi's deterrent power, but Zhao Kuangyi saw Song Jiu's affinity. Zhao Kuangyi thought in his heart, it's a pity that this kid is not ambitious, otherwise he is definitely a character. The big guy was hesitant, and Zhao Kuangyi said again: "Needless to say, you guys are making a fuss about having a treat, but Song Jiu is doing business for the court this time, and he can't delay." ”
"Yes, yes."
"Song Jiu, are you ready?"
"Second king, get ready." Song Jiudao, not only was the luggage ready, but even a few entourages were invited.
"Now that you're ready, you're ready to go, I've brought the carriage and I'll see you off by the way."
The eldest sister was dumbfounded, and the second king of the famous capital personally saw off his younger brother? Of course, she didn't know in the valley, this is what Song Jiu said, if she really came up with a way to make the Song Dynasty increase one million catties of iron a year, what would it matter if she sent out the Fengqiu Gate?
Zhao Kuangyi looked at Yuping again, he had heard of this leader many times, this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, he didn't look bad, he looked very gentle, at least he could match this kid, why did this kid want to chase the daughter of Pan Mei's family? He thought of Song Jiu's bet with his eldest brother again, could it be that this kid is a masochist who likes to challenge high difficulties? So when everyone was not paying attention, he came to Yuping's side and whispered: "Jade Lady, if this kid does good things for the country this time, he will have a bright future in the future, you have to hurry up." ”
"Yes, Xie, Second King," Ping replied nervously, but her heart tightened. But Zhao Kuangyi still didn't like Song Jiu and Pan Li'er, after the joke that day, Mrs. Pan Mei returned home and heard about it, she was furious, and even locked up Pan Mei's two sons for a time, preventing them from going out, and even confusing Pan Li'er at home. Fortunately, reading that Song Jiu's father was her husband's former subordinate, Tian did not bring his family to the door.
If the eldest brother does not intervene directly, it is estimated that Song Jiu and Pan Mei's daughter will have no drama at all, and Zhao Kuangyi also wants Song Jiu to become a family as soon as possible. As soon as people get married, they will become stable, this kid is too impetuous and slippery, although he is talented, this shortcoming is not beautiful after all. Now it is a loose official, if it is a professional official, bringing this atmosphere to the court will make the imperial history upside down.
He paced to Song Jiu's side and asked, "Song Jiu, how sure are you about this trip?" ”
"The second king, the minister just went down to take a look, and he was sure that he had to test it."
"Try?"
"A test of technical reform."
"How sure are you after the test?"
"The two kings, the ministers never speak, let alone the two kings, since they say it, they are sure to achieve, but they can increase the production geometrically, and the ministers dare not say, maybe the unexpected joy may be able to exceed the expectations of His Majesty and the two kings, and may not meet the requirements of the two kings of one million catties."
"You said there would be a surprise?"
"Second king, unknown, don't force your ministers to take it as a promise." Song Jiu is also afraid, dare to touch the wind is rain, so dare to talk full?
"Song Jiu, this matter is more important than your lifting crane, don't have a frivolous attitude."
"The minister dares, it is also important to the minister's river, but maybe it may give the court a lot of surprises, not only iron, but also carbon, lead, tin can increase production, and even steel, but if you want to increase production, you must cooperate with the court to develop the minister, and the technology is developed, and it will be obtained by the court."
"As long as you don't ask too much, the court will cooperate with you."
Boss Hu and the four of them packed their luggage, and Zhao Kuangyi said again: "Go." ”
Song Jiu is not in a hurry, he is in a hurry. Moreover, the imperial court was also cautious this time, not only giving a large carriage with two horses, but also two cavalry guards. As for Boss Hu, I'm sorry, let's walk, and I may not be able to ride a horse.
The group sent Song Jiu to the bridge and did not send it again. However, Pan Weide became angry, Zhao Kuangyi followed his eyes and saw two young girls standing on the embankment and pointing at this side, one of them was Pan Li'er.
Zhao Kuangyi was covered with black sweat, if Pan Li'er didn't participate in this big scene, Song Jiu would be wishful thinking and never play, but if Pan Li'er participated, it would be fun. Song Jiu also saw it, and he was stupid where he was standing. Yuping also saw it, and looked at Pan Li'er with complicated eyes, but unfortunately she was far away and couldn't see Pan Li'er's eyes clearly.
Han Qingxiong ignored Zhao Kuangyi's presence, looked up to the sky and smiled: "Ha, ha, ha." ”
Zhao Kuangyi shouted in a low voice: "Song Jiu, leave quickly." ”
It doesn't matter how you make trouble if you're not there, you can't make trouble if you're there. Don't get yourself involved in this bloody drama. In fact, she really wronged Pan Li'er, she came just a coincidence, seeing this large group of people standing on the bridge talking, among which there were her two brothers, so she stopped, and even told Yahuan about Song Jiu's frivolous deeds. Regardless of whether there was a misunderstanding or not, Song Jiu couldn't get close to so many people, got into the carriage, and said to everyone: "Don't send it again, please go back." ”
The carriage galloped north, carrying countless hopes.
