Chapter 66: The Reward
The sky became bleak, the wind gradually whistled, and the clouds turned yellow, wilting and drooping their heads, and slowly rolling in the sky weakly.
A tough winter is coming.
Song Jiu bought a lot of charcoal, there were too many distractions, and there was less time for teaching, originally Song Jiu wanted to put a 39 holiday, from 29 to the end of 49, Yan and Zhang disagreed. He still had to teach this winter, and Song Jiu had no choice but to buy a lot of charcoal. It seems that two coal mines have been found from Xuzhou, but the reserves are not clear, and it is not very easy to mine them. The other is the issue of gunpowder, which must be produced by the imperial court. Then another question arises, and that is the system.
The new technology will lead to a series of changes, such as iron ore must be smelted uniformly, small furnaces can no longer be moved here and there as in the past, and it will not be possible to make blast furnaces at private costs, as well as the preparation and use of gunpowder.
Whether it is the "quota system" of the Song Dynasty at this time, or the 28-point system in the future, it is not very suitable.
What kind of system to use, the monarch and ministers are still considering, and it also depends on it, if Song Jiu can really get good steel and good iron, the system must be reformed.
Therefore, the coal mine in Xuzhou is still being explored.
Most of the coal in Hebei and Shandong is in the mountainous areas and cannot be transported, so Song Jiu can only continue to use charcoal for heating this winter.
Several truckloads of charcoal arrived, and Song Jiu called the students to come over and move the charcoal to the utility room.
A servant came in and said that it was Zhao Kuangyi who called him to Kaifeng Mansion.
When Song Jiu came to Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Kuangyi met him in the side hall, and first asked, "How do you make money in that Hezhou?" ”
The paintings are posted one after another, on the other side of the royal street. This incident caused a sensation in the capital, even more sensational than Fan Qian's death. Fan Zhen died, Zhao Kuangyin lamented, and recorded his son, but as soon as he died, it would cause a series of political reshuffles behind him, which could not be seen on the surface. The first three are paintings of the academy, and they occupy three more, which means that one is the dock and the other is the academy, which is to do things for the imperial court, so as not to make some poor Confucians unhappy and find trouble for themselves.
It is still a long-term picture, two close-up pictures, but it is different from this private study house in the river, it is a formal education, six classes in the first grade, no more than fifty people in each class, now a class of sixty-seven people, too crowded, five classes in the second grade, four classes in the third grade, considering that some students can't wait for three years, a graduation certificate and a certificate of completion will be issued once a year, but it will be marked that the first grade graduated, there are two classes, one is a bachelor's class, the other is a master's class, the former is two classes, the latter is only one class, belongs to the place of cultivating real scholars. Four floors, seven rooms on each floor, and the rest of the house is used as a reference room and Mr. Office.
There are not only teaching rooms, but also canteens, libraries, dormitories, playgrounds, courts, some rockeries and scenic spots, as well as nurseries and test areas that cultivate students' hands-on ability, with an area of more than 100 acres. Beautiful location, beautiful scenery and some quirky architecture. In short, all buildings will be a beautiful landscape for the sake of beautification. It includes a bedroom, four beds, a writing desk, and a freshening room.
After coming out, the imperial court was having a headache about how to build it in the future, and some people almost ignored the shame and almost asked Song Jiu to use this academy as a sample to design for the imperial court.
But after this classroom comes out, you can clearly see one thing, glass, it is indeed glass, such a large piece of glass, it is actually used as a window, or a large window, how much does it cost?
Now more than ninety percent of the people think that Song Jiu can't do it, and if he does, he will squeeze his head because he sends his children to study in the future.
Then to the east, the fourth painting is a gold shop, which only paints a beautiful exterior and no interior. The Song Dynasty also had gold and silver color silk shops, with a large transaction volume, a transaction volume could reach tens of thousands of yuan, and it would be even larger in the future, and there could be a huge transaction of hundreds of thousands of thousands of millions of yuan. I thought that this was the case, with the benefits of Bianshui and the wharf, it was a normal idea, but it was wrong......
The fifth painting after the gold shop is of the high-end commercial district, with many beautiful shops paved with a strange stone on the ground, and the entrance is clearly marked that the person who enters the pool must wash the mud from his shoes before entering. The gold shop is located at the end of the business district on the riverside. No specific small pictures were drawn. If you want to come here, you can sell expensive goods. Further east, next to the opera house was the gymnasium, this time a small picture, the same strange building, with dozens of strange pillars supporting a huge roof, which resembled a warehouse roof, but was much larger, with five or six thousand seats below, crowded with people, and in the center was a group of people bowing in the grass. The small picture depicts some difficult acrobatic performances and large-scale cabaret performances, as well as other sports, such as archery, running, long jump, and other ball games.
Here, the terrain of the river island is open, no longer a triangle, but an irregular quadrilateral, between the wharf and the south entertainment area, there is a large open space, is an ordinary commercial area, just a painting, countless shops, and a small tile, so that tourists can stop on the line, the scale of the tile is not very large, and the river island is full of interesting things, and it does not need to be so big.
The eighth painting is the square, on the north side of the academy, in the middle of a monument, long column, on which stands an eagle with wings spread, on which three large characters are erected: Happy Island. There is also a square for the pigeons, and a small garden with some other animals, all of which are not very large, and then there are many flowers and trees. Happiness Island may not be, but the sale of gold caves is inevitable.
The ninth painting is the largest area, a long-term view of the high-end residential area, nearly one million square meters, there is a small picture on the side, a schematic diagram of the sewage project of the entire river, the daily waste water is discharged to the Bianshui, or pulled away by a car, and some toilet things are used to use the terrain to erect a pipeline under the river and discharge it to the south bank of the Nanbianshui for the people to use as fertilizer for their crops. The tenth painting is a large picture and each small picture, there are four kinds of buildings, no matter the size, there are small gardens, the whole residential area is cut by the water, surrounded by ditches, and there are lotus flowers and some beautiful waterscape plants planted in it, as well as some public facilities and activity venues, not only the house is beautiful, the scenery is more beautiful. The big picture is a bird's-eye view of the entire river island.
If Hezhou is really turned into this, it is almost like a fairyland on earth, and the palace is not good, can there be so much food, drink, and fun? I don't know if I can build it, but if I can, there are some rich people who want to buy a house or two.
But everyone knows that once this house is built, it will be very expensive, unimaginably expensive.
However, some people know better that in fact, no matter how Song Jiu sells, he can't make much money by relying on the house, without him, the base cost is too high, and the mansion on one acre of land in the capital is only one or two thousand, and Song Jiu only handed over the money to the imperial court, which reached one thousand guan per acre. And the building materials.
And then by selling tickets? Or go straight into business?
Not to mention the cost, just the more than 4 million yuan is like a mountain pressing. Zhao Kuangyi can understand why Song Jiu talked twice about dredging the water and taking mud! The terrain of many parts of the river island is too low, but when the mud from the dredging of the water is transported to the river island, the river island is not small, but it is not big, so the height is supported, and there is no need to worry about flooding in the river. But where does this money come from?
Song Jiu Ha Lu Ha Yile, said: "Second king, you have also seen the twenty pictures, such as the gymnasium, this is to sell tickets, but I do not charge for entertainment in the court, and the more it collects, it will cause the people to be disgusted, and the scholars are in an uproar, it will only charge ten to one hundred tickets according to the location, mainly ten wen, the gymnasium is made to be repaired, as well as the salary of the servants, the rewards of the contestants, this ticket is not enough." ”
Zhao Kuangyi nodded, and he really thought of it.
I am afraid that the real money is the store and the playground, the shop is either rented, the rent can be worth it, or it is operated by itself, and the business may not necessarily make money, and the cost is greater, so I am puzzled.
"Two kings, but what about betting?"
"What kind of betting?"
"It is to win or lose with the participating teams to attract people to bet."
"Sven sweeps the floor!"
"The second king, what is Sven sweeping the floor, that is just a way of doing business, without it, the people still play tricks and gamble, that is, people like Dr. Yan and Dr. Zhang, who are square people, occasionally open two small bets, and bet a few small money. It's just that it commercializes gambling, and in the future it will be converted into taxes and income for the imperial court. ”
Song Jiu threw it out, just through Zhao Kuangyi's mouth, knowing that it would make money, someone would invest in shares, and with money, slowly build one building after another, the house could be sold, and the capital would come. Anyway, there is no hurry, there are ten years, which is enough to complete the construction of Hezhou. There is also a background, that is, the ministers of the Song Dynasty are more business-doing and gambling, although the court has banned it, it does not work, the court is ordering a ban on gambling, but the prime minister Zhang Dexiang is gambling with Yang Yi and Li Zongge, and he lost 300,000 yuan in one night, and came again the next day, won a gold, and lost again on the third night. The biggest gamble is that Zhao Dan and Zhao Ji bet to play ball, Zhao Dan lost, continued to implement the new law, Zhao Dan won, stop changing the law. As a result, Zhao Dan lost and continued to change the law. Can't be banned.
Song Jiu said that in the commercial area, paying taxes is an excuse, but it is actually open and legalized, and it can't be banned anyway, so it's better to channel. If you make money yourself, the court will also get money. There is no gambling ban yet.
Zhao Kuangyi felt very uneasy and walked around.
Song Jiudao: "Second king, is it better to dredge or block the water?" The minister is just a micro minister, he is tired during this time, a little for himself, but more for the benefit of the court, and he wants the minister to be a fan minister, but it is difficult for him. ”
This is the key to health, if Song Jiu has no motivation at all, then can he work so hard?
Zhao Kuangyi smiled dumbly and said, "I heard that the matter over there is almost studied?" ”
"Sort of."
"The test site has been found, in the northwest of Chenliu County, only more than 20 miles away from Dongshuimen, when will you go?"
"Let the minister pass, the court must prepare some materials," Song Jiu asked for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, wrote down a series of materials and quantities, and said: "In addition, give the minister a few days to prepare, this will be a long time, the minister must prepare some teaching materials, so that the students can study by themselves." ”
"Learn to ride a horse, it's not far away, there is an official road, and the official will be very fast."
"Even if you ride a horse, you have to learn it for a few days, otherwise you won't be able to ride."
"Okay, I'll give you a few days, but the stakes are so important that you can't play with it," Zhao Kuangyi looked at the list again, and couldn't help frowning, some of the materials on it would cost a lot of money.
"The minister knows the way." Song Jiu retired, in fact, Zhao Kuangyi didn't urge him, he had to hurry, once it cooled down, it didn't matter what else mattered, don't think about that blast furnace. The imperial court attaches great importance to it, and all kinds of material resources are constantly transported to that saline-alkali land, but Song Jiu asked people to post a few notices in front of Xiangguo Temple and Pan Tower, looking for a gemstone, the style is written vaguely, only said that it is very transparent, and then wrote a sign, that is, it can be used to easily cut the glass. If so, be willing to buy it for ten times the price of the gem. Many people don't think that there is anything hard about the glass, only a few people come up with it, this is a stroke, not a fall. This thing seems to be produced in China, but it definitely doesn't have it now, if it is Tianzhu, if it doesn't have it, it's not a lot of fun next.
