Chapter 294: Little Fish (Part II)
Dao Ning didn't hate Song Jiu, the two had a very interesting relationship, a new temple was built, whether it was a temple or a temple, or a half-church and half-temple temple that provoked people to teach people, they had to invite people over. The Jewish religion is easy to manage, they have very little influence, and even if they build temples, the temple in River Island is currently their largest temple. After settling in, I was overjoyed.
Taoism is also not a big problem.
The main thing is Buddhism, its influence is too great, Song Jiuxiu temple view is not the temple view of other local people, the temple view is cultivated, the Taoist monks who come in must not be too evil. Evil or not evil is the presiding officer, and the second is the abbot, but there are many schools of Buddhism, and the most influential is undoubtedly Zen Buddhism. As long as the Buddha sits in his heart, he can drink wine, eat meat, burn Bodhisattva statues, and not chant Buddha scriptures, but these can be done, what else can not be done?
So Song Jiu gave up Zen Buddhism and chose other sects, and only then did he find this great monk of the Huayan sect, Dao Ning. The first time the two met, Song Jiu asked a few words, and then Dao Ning talked about the Buddhist scriptures, and Song Jiu was in a fog, and said the most eloquently, don't talk about any scriptures, there are not too many scriptures and meanings in Confucianism, but many Wenchen were dizzy as soon as they became officials, I only asked one sentence, do you do good. Dao Ning said lightly, with my reputation in the Buddha, why bother to be an abbot in your small temple?
It's not a small temple, it's a big temple, but it's very famous.
Song Jiuyusai, you are qualified, go ahead.
Downing smiled slightly, and Heshi left.
Doing good is Song Jiu's only standard. In some respects, it is also in line with Buddhism.
But sad things finally happened.
After the fourth day, Song Jiu and the others all survived the onset of the disease, but there were some terrible little red rashes on their faces that had not all subsided, and there were still some low-grade fevers, and they seemed to have no strength. Song Jiu said that he wanted to tell the story, and he was amusing his family, during this time, in addition to cooperating with the two doctors to make observation records, he also carefully recalled the knowledge that he could still remember in his previous life, and also thought carefully about the results of the tests done by the students of the academy. It is impossible to remember everything you have learned, and it is impossible to learn everything. But his insight is there. The theoretical basis is in. The results of the student's thinking through these tests are completely different from the results of his thinking. Some knowledge has degraded, but most of the learning is advancing, and it can even be said that the knowledge of two lifetimes is improving. In gradually keeping pace with this era. This is too important. No matter how much knowledge you have learned in your previous life. It may not be useful in this era. Only when it is in tune can it be urged.
Write down these thoughts.
There was a lot of noise outside, but it wasn't that scary. Although smallpox is also contagious, it is not yet the most terrible infectious disease, and it is not even as fast as malaria spreads.
However, the children of Wei Xiaogou's family finally couldn't survive.
He Liang carefully wiped off his gloves, and took the pulse of the little guy, the woman was on the side, and he didn't dare to speak, so he came out and said, "Jiulang, it's no good." ”
The woman was not stupid, seeing the faces of several people, she hugged the little guy and cried, and the child wiped his tears for his mother and said: "Niangniang, don't cry, I will never be naughty in the future, listen to Niangniang." ”
The next day, the child of the Wei puppy family died. This is a condensation of the entire era. One of his seventh sister's children also died of illness, and one of Pan Weigu's children also died of illness. Moreover, they are contaminated with this evil disease. But Song Jiu still felt very depressed.
He stood silently by the side and comforted the woman for a long time.
However, the death of the Wei family's child allowed the two doctors to obtain first-hand information.
also gave Song Jiu a clear understanding that cowpox is not a panacea, and can only play a preventive role. There are still a lot of troubles, the first one who does not have the ability to cultivate vaccines, can only look for people who have cowpox, and use sore pulp to catch pox. There are limitations to this.
There is no danger to people in isolation, but it does not mean that this sore pulp is omnipotent, there are no side effects, I don't know now, whether there will be examples of failure in acne, I still don't know.
There is one more thing that Song Jiu doesn't know.
In fact, after the Song Dynasty, smallpox began to increase, but it was not the most prosperous era, and it did not begin to become a serious disease until the Ming and Qing dynasties. But at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there were not many examples, coupled with the vast land and sparsely populated population, the population flow was not enough, there was, not only in the early Song Dynasty, but also very early, including the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty forbade the movement of the people, and the harm was not very great, so it could not let people talk about the color change, so it would not attract enough attention from people.
Including Zhao Kuangyin.
Song Jiu was in isolation, Zhao Kuangyin heard that this matter was no less than sacrificing his life to feed the tiger, and Shi Jue, the head of the Ma Jundu, said lightly: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that the sores were infected by small insects, but Song Jiu was wrapped all over his body during this trip, and he was fine." Don't worry about your majesty, the big thing is important. If there is really danger, His Majesty will go down to the dragon body, and the ministers will be worried. Song Jiu also made mistakes, he was a confidant of His Majesty's courtiers, regardless of the overall situation, with small benevolence, and sought a good reputation in Gyeonggi, and the ministers thought that the loss was big and the gain was small. ”
This is a very vicious statement.
If there is no danger, what are you going to do, Your Majesty?
But there is danger, Song Jiu is a national talent, and the children of the Wei family have not been saved, that is, they are saved, and they put themselves in danger, is it worth it? In particular, a Gyeonggi seeking a good name is even more vicious.
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin was silent about this matter.
This doesn't matter, Song Jiu doesn't plan to ask for credit with this, he wants to invite credit and reward, and there are not too many opportunities.
But what is terrible is that Zhao Kuangyin is suspicious.
But then Shi Jue did one thing, and he added to the snake.
Song Jiu thinks that Zhao Kuangyin lacks Li Shimin's atmosphere, but the situation is different, the Li family is born and killed, but Zhao Kuangyin's country is snatched from Chai Rong's son Chai Zongxun, plus the previous generations, so he is full of distrust of the courtiers in his bones.
After Zhao Pu stepped down, he gave Zhao Kuangyi the qualification to stand in the court for the first time, which was used to wash away Zhao Pu's imprint. But he still has a suspicion, so he gradually reuses Shi Jue, and Shi Jue's identity is thus one and the other, one is the head of the Ma Army, and the other is the leader of Jinyiwei, but he lacks the qualification of Jinyiwei to take people. Song Jiu is in isolation, and the two of them also have a faint contradiction because of Zhang Qiong's death. It's just not as radical as Shi Hanqing.
The emergence of Hezhou made the commercial prosperity of the capital of the Song Dynasty at least thirty years earlier, and the number of households in the capital was not very many, including the residents outside the city wall were only about 100,000, but the population gradually reached more than one million. This extra population includes merchants, soldiers, clans and officials from all over the country, and their survival requires a lot of materials and money. Some are supported through taxes. Some are purchased from all over the world through and buying.
However, it must be supplemented on an ad hoc basis.
For example, the palace needs a lot of ingredients for a day, especially vegetables, and must be purchased in the capital on the same day.
The development of commerce has awakened the sense of profit for some people in advance. Some colluded with officials. Walked a road of buying and losing business wealth. In turn, goods are sold to the government at a high price, or unsalable goods are sold to the government, and so on.
This seriously damaged the interests of the imperial court. Especially those products that are not salable. It can't be sold in the market, and it is given to the government, and most of it is useless. After Shi Jue reported it, Zhao Kuangyin asked him to secretly investigate the matter. It is a malaise, but if it is a big country, there are not too many ills. And Zhao Kuangyin asked Shi Jue to secretly investigate, and after the investigation, Yu Ming was immediately executed, instead of through formal interrogation, which was a disadvantage on top of a disadvantage.
The attack was too wide, from the city, to Hebei to Hezhou, either there was such a thing, or if there was such a thing, all of them were executed after Shi Jue's report. For a while, the merchants in the capital were panicked, and they didn't even dare to do business. Hezhou, in particular, has become the focus of Shi Jue's attack.
However, Shi Jue overlooked one thing.
The status of businessmen is not high, but the status of money in their hands is very high, and even the great monks shout the slogan that money is like honey, not to mention others. Hebei was originally divided by half because of the flow of people, and business began to decline, but they can't hate Song Jiu, people are running Hezhou, don't you want to make Hezhou better? But if it wasn't like such a direct blow, when Zhao Pu left the position of prime minister, he had no influence at all? And what Shi Qi didn't know was that there was a giant standing faintly behind Hezhou.
Soon the news reached Zhao Kuangyin's ears.
Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict, which was not pursued before, but since then, if the city officials vainly increase the value of their property and deceive the official money, after the trial, there will indeed be such a thing, and they will be punished according to the law.
But the affair is not over.
Think about Wang Anshi's change of law, he is still for the good of the country, how many people oppose it? Shi Qi hurt the interests of many people this time, so can he let it go like this, the three of them said that the tiger, Shi Qi spoke slowly, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't believe it.
The riot caused by General Shi this time was not long, and he was also a small fish in the big events that were about to happen.
The Song family was born.
Shi Qi cut off his own way, but he somewhat pitted Song Jiu. The steward of Hezhou came to report that Song Jiu couldn't come out, but he passed the word and waited to see what happened. It is far worse than Zhao Pu and the others, but this thing can be seen.
Jade apple production.
The imperial court did not express its appreciation for Song Jiu's research, but the people were very grateful. Li Po and Zhang Po said one after another: "This time all the people pray for blessings, the Song family will definitely get a little lang." ”
Pan Li'er was skeptical.
If you talk about blessings, wouldn't it be more blessings you received when she was pregnant with her second daughter Song Panpan. However, there is only one boy in the Song family, which is a bit thin. In the midst of everyone's anticipation and worry, Yuping gave birth to her second child.
Another daughter.
Yuping is a little better, she has a son, and her sisters are somewhat disappointed, Pan Li'er suddenly said: "It's not good, Xiaoyu is a boy's name, you can't use it." ”
So the family ran to Dongfang again.
At this time, many quarantined people had returned home, and Song Jiu and the two doctors were also getting better, but they had been dealing with two smallpox patients and had to continue to be isolated. The Wei family's child died, but it left a valuable record. At least no one had ever looked at a smallpox patient before. At the same time, I also learned a valuable lesson, that is, vaccinia is a vaccine, but it cannot be a cure.
Song Jiu heard that it was his daughter, and said, "My daughter is good." ”
"What's the matter, you have to prepare another 100,000 yuan dowry," Pan Weide yelled loudly. Pan Li'er tried to cover his mouth but didn't cover it, and the people on the side laughed again.
Cao Can, who was playing football, also rushed over, and was also happy, and said: "Jiulang, you have to make good money, give birth to a few more daughters in the future, and book one for my family." ”
Pan Li'er chased him directly with her stomach up.
But Song Jiu still insisted on using the name Xiaoyu, what a cute name, and it was not bad for girls to use, at least it was better than the big pig, the second dog, and the third cow.
The quarantine period is finally over.
Yuping's body has not yet recovered and she can't leave for the time being, so Song Jiu devotes herself to the study of steel supervision again. The experience of this observation and pimple, as well as the reactions of each person, will also be compiled into a book, but that is the matter of the two doctors. Through some channels, Song Jiu faintly heard what Shi Jue said. I didn't want to rob this work in the first place, but now I don't want to rob it.
At the end of June, Song Jiu handed over the medium-sized blast furnace technique.
Wind power is still a problem, the large blast furnace is built in the turbulent place of the water to drive the large bellows, the wind power is still insufficient, of course, it is definitely much better than the previous iron smelting, but this is not what Song Jiu needs. Compared with the first appearance of the blast furnace, the current blast furnace has gradually become small and medium-sized, which seems to be backward, but in fact it has become more progressive, first of all, the manufacturing cost and difficulty have decreased, which is a necessary condition for popularization, and secondly, the quality of wrought iron smelted has been slightly improved. If you want to enter the age of steel, it is not enough, it must be large, but that requires something more complex, and that is the steam engine.
The technique may not be difficult, but without the drawings, it is still too difficult for Song Jiu.
However, the accumulation of this technique is slow, and the study of wall clocks is more or less fed back to the more complex casting techniques in the future.
There is also an advantage, that is, the research of refractory bricks, the emergence of various refractory bricks, and the transformation of coke ovens.
It is a precipitation process.
In the process of research, Song Jiu made an improvement to the coke oven, and then handed over the drawings to the imperial court, and the research of the steel supervisor came to an end. And yes, but that's a long time later. There is still research, but they are all in the north and south of Hezhou, not too far from home, and Yuping has just left the capital.
got on the boat, and there was some resentment in the eyes of Xiao Su.
Originally, Pan Li'er and Yuping said that they were good, but it was inconvenient to have sex, so Song Jiu took them in. Song Jiu disagreed, but if the two housewives persuaded hard, it was not impossible to succeed. Comparing and comparing, it is better to be a phoenix tail than a chicken head, and you can only be a concubine in the past, and you can't look down on those who can be a wife, so it is better to be a concubine in the Song family.
Song Jiu patted their little heads and said, "You guys, just thinking about me now, I don't know if I said a few years ago, ordinary women didn't want to be my mothers." Don't be cranky, when I come back, I will give a generous dowry and see if there are any good sons who are willing to marry you. ”
Xiao Su was not afraid, and grinned: "How much?" ”
"How much do you want?"
"One tenth of a hundred thousand."
"You're looking for a fight," Pan Li'er patted her on the back.
"Okay, I promise you."
"Jiulang, don't listen to my sister," Da Su said.
"It's not much, in my heart, you are my sister, is it more than 10,000?"
Xiao Su smiled, and Da Su Yingying bowed. After many more words, a few people got on the boat and sailed away.
……
Ping leaves, causing a small stir in the river island. However, in the current context, Jade Apple is also a small fish, very inconspicuous. Li Yu also knew that the Song Dynasty was uneasy and kind, and sent an envoy to write a letter, willing to listen to the Son of Heaven's policy.
Feng Ce refers to the edict of the Son of Heaven appointing the prince, and from then on, Li Yu was completely a courtier of the Song Dynasty, but retained the right to govern within his jurisdiction, similar in nature to the feudal towns of the Tang Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin did not allow it, sent Liang Zhen to envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and only brought a sentence to Li Yu, the imperial court has a firewood fire ceremony this winter, that is, a firewood sacrifice ceremony will be held in winter, the lord of the country, you come to the capital to help the sacrifice!
Let's do it! (To be continued......)
