"Digging ancestral graves?" All twenty students opened their mouths wide.

"Yes, I dare to dig people's ancestral graves? Maybe if I move a spade of soil, people will fight hard with me, and this matter is more appropriate for the two kings to do. ”

"Will the two kings agree?"

"Let's go, let you see, and let you see more big occasions, so that you can have the grace to educate students in the future."

Song Jiu picked up the two paintings, took the twenty students, and walked towards Kaifeng Mansion. Twenty students walked with a strange smile on their faces, last night they went home to discuss with their families, yesterday Song Jiu didn't say anything, but Song Jiu said about conscience, staying will not be left in vain, the end of March next year is a year, they should not be able to learn, and they don't expect much high returns, but there is a standard, that is, Zhu San's monthly five guan money. I don't expect five times to make money, after all, people are the real ones who pass the exam, and the next week is not counted, there are only sixty-three Jinshi in the entire Song Dynasty, and there are also various subjects, but the subjects are not mentioned, and the future is not big, so it is better to study in the study house for a few more years with peace of mind, so that the court will value it more. There are not many people, only about 2,000 people in the whole country. But that's a weather vane, at least a monthly salary of three or four cents. Enough to feed a family.

I never expected that there would be a thirty-two yuan, and the upper limit would be three times!

I was too satisfied with this contract, but I heard that I was digging the ancestral grave, and I still asked the two kings to dig the ancestral grave, which was a bit strange, so a strange smile appeared on their faces.

When he arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, Song Jiu was also a petty official, and the officials did not dare to slack off, so they went in to report.

Zhao Kuangyi also has something to look for Song Jiu, but he can't call him from time to time, so this kid will have to give the tree in his face and send it to the door, just right, let Song Jiu come in.

Song Jiu gave gifts to the students, and Zhao Kuangyi asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"There are two things that bother the two kings."

"Say."

"The first thing is to make a contract and ask the two kings to testify."

"Do you want me to testify to make a contract?"

"The two kings, the minister heard that His Majesty and the ministers talked about how big the world is, and Zhao Xianggong said that the world is big, and the truth is the greatest, which won the approval of His Majesty. But what's the most important thing in the world? ”

"What's the most important thing?" Song Jiu's status is low, and Zhao Kuangyi doesn't guess, if the important minister asks like this, Zhao Kuangyi will definitely answer, the people, the system, the country, the cultural governance, or something else.

"The two kings, the most important thing is talent, with talent, there is everything." After Song Jiu finished speaking, he handed over the contract.

Zhao Kuangyi opened it and said, "Song Jiu, you are so selfish, you actually want to take the twenty best students for yourself. ”

Song Jiu shook his head secretly in his heart, it seems that he can't believe all the novels, how good those traversers are, the emperors and generals, worship at their feet one by one, it's so easy, look at this Song Taizong, his IQ is at least twice as much as his own. But to make sense in everything, Song Jiu has selfishness, and it can't be said that he doesn't completely take advantage of it, as for the talent I cultivated, don't say it, it's looking for scolding, and said: "The second king, it's not right." If an edict is issued to slaughter all hens in the world together, what will happen? A year is not fast, it is not fast, it is not fast, now at the beginning of June, there is September, the period of a year is coming, I made a promise, after a year these students let go together, the best of them will be selected by the imperial court, and the rest will also enter the merchants to do the accounting room or management, but what can they learn after a year? I'm still learning, and besides they? Many people asked for an expansion of enrollment, and said that they would fund the construction of a school, but the accounting of the object was taught by one person, so could it be taught? Although they stay, they can cultivate more talents for the country, how can it be said that the ministers are selfish? ”

Zhao Kuangyi doesn't distinguish between righteousness, maybe he is right, but selfishness is the key. This kid is so virtuous, otherwise the eldest brother would have used it a long time ago, and he still expects him to be selfless?

looked at the contract again, and sure enough, it was the contract that asked him to testify against the Kaifeng Mansion: "Song Jiu, how can you afford to pay so many students a salary of thirty-two taels per month?" Besides, this compensation for a loss of one million yuan is even more bizarre! ”

"Second king, if you can't pay this salary, how will you pay the money in the future?" In front of the students and officials, it is difficult to talk about the gambling contract.

"Can you really build that bridge?" Zhao Kuangyi obviously didn't want to talk about it, and asked what he was most concerned about.

"Yes, but when it comes to the bridge, the minister wants to make a request to the second king, can he allocate 400,000 catties of iron to the minister a year." So many buildings, steel must be used, in terms of catties is very impressive, but in terms of tons, it is not much, only about 200 tons, but the Song Dynasty iron ore does not seem to be much, if the court does not cooperate, it is a little difficult.

"400,000 catties of iron, what a big breath, do you know how much iron I can produce in a year?"

"Second king, where does the minister know the way?"

"Last year, the total output of the imperial court was less than 2 million catties, what qualifications do you say you can get 400,000 catties!"

"That's not right," Song Jiu was dizzy, he had read an overhead novel, saying that in the Song Dynasty to lay the railway, in the Song Dynasty how to lay the railway, he really can't think of it, although he is no stranger to engineering, but a Beijing-Shanghai railway with steel reached 5 million tons, not to mention a number of railways, the Song Dynasty nearly 600 grams a catty, but that is also amazing data, 850 million Song Jin steel, how did this railway be made?

Zhao Kuangyi looked at his ignorant appearance, if he hadn't seen his student here, he would have been able to go down and kick Song Jiu a few times.

Song Jiu said again: "It's not that there is no way, the second king, can you allow me to visit a certain iron pit?" ”

"Do you know how to dig iron?"

"I can't mine, but maybe I can figure it out."

"What's the solution?" Zhao Kuangyi's spirit immediately focused. Now iron can not be widely used in construction, one has no concrete, two has not welded, but it is also widely used, first of all, armor weapons, a set of armor weighs about fifty catties, but this iron must be repeatedly beaten, and the actual loss of iron can reach more than 100 catties. This is military, as well as civilian utensils, farm tools, kitchen utensils, instruments, as small as a nail. Two million catties of iron, but only more than 1,000 tons, where was enough in the Song Dynasty. On the grassland, often two or three iron pots can be exchanged for a cow or sheep. The iron of the Song Dynasty is also very expensive, one pound can reach thirty yuan, and it can be exchanged for a bucket of high-quality rice!

Can it not matter?

"I don't know what to do, I have to read it before I can try to think about it."

"If you have a way to increase my iron production, this official can make a guarantee to you, and let the imperial brother add you to the first level of dismissal."

"Second king, there is not much difference between the eighth-rank scattered official and the ninth-grade scattered official, I just want the imperial court to give priority to providing 400,000 catties a year, even if it is 300,000 catties of iron, otherwise I can't do anything over there."

"Okay, but this one must be more than a million catties."

"Second king, one million catties."

"No wastage, no craftsman costs?"

"I don't want it, it's to buy ......" Song Jiu didn't want to say it, Zhao Kuangyi fortunately was not a businessman, otherwise he would have been a big profiteer.

"Isn't that bridge going to use a lot of iron?" Zhao Kuangyi was a little puzzled, there were many bridges in the Song Dynasty, stone bridges, wooden bridges, and even small earth bridges, but what does it have to do with iron?

"It's a lot of iron, not just iron, but also tempered...... There are many technical problems to be studied. ”

"Physicology?"

"That's it, but there are other places that use iron, so the minister asked the court to provide a large amount of iron to the minister. As for the bridge, it can be built, and even later in the Bianshui to modify this kind of high bridge and hole flying bridge, conducive to navigation, but everything is the most difficult at the beginning, once the construction, the minister must ask the court to provide some craftsmen, and other support, the double rainbow bridge is built, and the minister will send all the skills to the court. Of course, the imperial court could send officials to see and craftsmen to learn during construction. ”

"It will cost a lot of money," Zhao Kuangyi looked at the contract in his hand again, only twenty students, if they want to support them in the future, Song Jiu will have to pay at least nearly 10,000 yuan a year. How does this money come out? I don't know!

"Yes, it's just a drop in the ocean on the river island, and there are more places to spend money, but these money and silk ministers have their own ways to solve it, please ask the second king to make a notarization of this contract."

"Okay, what else?"

The students listened inexplicably, Song Jiu hung the painting, most people thought that someone was painting and playing, and some people looked at it for a while, and some people didn't look at it. It didn't spread much, and the news in the river was blocked, and the twenty students hadn't heard of it, so they couldn't understand what the two were saying. But when Zhao Kuangyi asked about the second thing, the students cheered up, Mr. Jiu, if you want to ask the second king to dig up someone's ancestral grave, can you not care?

"Second king, it's not easy to pay that agreement smoothly."

"It's not easy, you'll be miserable, that's the crime of bullying the king."

"Yes, but the two kings, it can be realized, it is a miracle, especially if the minister wants money but no money, and he wants status without status."

"You just want to drag Fu Pan Han and their Lang Jun into the water?"

Song Jiu let out a long sigh.

"What are you sighing for?"

"The minister heard the people in the river say that it is the fortune of heaven to win the world under His Majesty, where is the luck of heaven, this is wisdom, His Majesty and the wisdom of the two kings are a hundred times and a thousand times that of ordinary people, Your Majesty is the king of the world, and the two kings are extremely popular ministers, but it is too difficult to deal with the two kings, and the two kings have not done it yet, and the two kings will see through it at a glance."

"You kid, don't flatter this official, and this official doesn't object to you doing this, anyway, they have nothing to do all day long, and taking them to do something will make the capital peaceful, as long as you don't go too far." Zhao Kuangyi said solemnly, but he was more happy to hear this......

"No, no, maybe their family will thank the ministers in a few years, the two kings are still talking about the right thing, once realized, not only to set an example for the court, increase part of the income of the court, it also has a more far-reaching meaning, can broaden everyone's thinking, and this includes many skills, can be used in military, civilian and other aspects, its significance is not trivial. Except for some luxury goods, I will hand them over to the imperial court one by one. ”

"What luxury?"

"It's an idea, but it hasn't been developed yet, so I can't say it, I don't dare to bully the king, and I don't dare to bully the two kings."

"You're ......! It's really hateful! ”

"You can't say anything hateful, a gentleman can't chase a horse, and you can't talk nonsense."

"You're a gentleman?"

"If you are not a gentleman, isn't it a virtue to be a man and speak a word?"

Zhao Kuangyi was speechless, no wonder Zhao Pu didn't let him enter the official career, this kid entered the official career, if he was in the court, there would be a good show.

"But it needs the constant cooperation of the imperial court."

"Impossible."

"What is impossible, such as repairing the bridge with the assistance of craftsmen, such as digging the water, without considering the interests of the ministers, can't the imperial court do it?"

"Dig up the water?"

"It's an idea, Shu Chen can't say it for the time being, but there is a crucial matter at the moment. If Hezhou wants to become one of the richest areas in the capital, it must be developed, but there are many tombs on Hezhou, which is the biggest problem, so the minister wants to ask the two kings to order these tombs to be moved together. ”
