Chapter 243: Flower Arrangement
Song Jiu patted the chair and said, "The bottom of the object can't fight the scriptures." ”
Yanei laughed together, and Song Jiu said that he was referring to this year's provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites, and 63 Jinshi from Sima Pu were selected at once. This acceptance rate is high, almost six to one, not counting, and 43 people who failed in the fifteen lifts were given backgrounds. That is, in the future, as long as the fifteen exams are completed, even if you don't win, you will be admitted. This is not the later imperial examination, every three or four years, now the examination is once a year, and it is very fast, as long as you stay up for fifteen years, you can get a background.
When the edict was released, countless people all over the world gave up all kinds of affairs in their hands and read hard with the scriptures.
The students who came out of the academy were either invited by various merchants, including Hezhou, or were hired as officials by the imperial court, and some people entered officials from officials, but everyone can become officials, and Jinshi is different, as long as they are selected, they are officials.
Not only the people outside, but also many students inside the academy also immersed themselves in studying the scriptures and teachings. Including the statue at the entrance of the academy, one of his husband Albert Einstein, and seventy-three of Confucius's seventy-two students.
Song Jiu was helpless about this.
It depends on whether the students are fighting or not, both of which are used by the imperial court, to see who has the greatest ability. When the overall quality of students far exceeds that of the so-called Jinshi, I believe that no matter Zhao Da or Zhao Er, they have to consider carefully. No matter how they fight, these two are not faint kings who disregard the country.
"Everyone sit down, let's get down to business," Song Jiu said.
There are also Yanai who look at everything in the academy curiously, this is the first time they have entered, Jingyi defeated the character of the object, but this academy is very sacred. There are still many families who come with their children to sign up. It's just that it's not open to outsiders, and I used to be able to lie on the outside and watch.
Serious matters. Sit down together.
There are extra-large classrooms, and more than a dozen old generals teach martial arts. For the time being, the text can't spell the force. There are many people who choose martial arts.
Song Jiu nuanned his mouth, and Li Zhu and Qin Wazi went to the next classroom to bring two bottles of flower arrangement. Song Jiu said, "Let's take a look." ”
Because of the emphasis on internal governance and enjoyment, the Song Dynasty gradually developed clothing, food, housing and transportation, not only had a lot of food, but also loved flowers, and loved flower arrangement. Many people have a vase of flowers and buy a few bouquets of flowers to put on the list. But everyone wondered why the flower arrangement was put on the table. Can flower arrangements still make money?
Song Jiu said again: "What is the difference between everyone watching them carefully? ”
Staring at them together, Fu Zhaoshou replied: "It seems to be a little different, the bottle in the east is full of poetry and picturesqueness, very elegant, and the bottle in the west is also beautiful, but it feels very solemn." ”
This is the art of flower arrangement, the same flower, different arrangement, people immediately feel completely different.
Everyone stared at them carefully. The bottle on the east side is very eye-catching, obviously Song Jiu invited the master to insert it, but the master is sitting next to him, Yuping! Look to the west again. The more I look at it, the more I feel a kind of coldness, like the chrysanthemum poem of Huangchao, and it seems that countless sword shadows are flashing.
Song Jiu said: "It is the flower arrangement of the Wa Kingdom. The geographical location of the Wa Kingdom is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and life is hard. Therefore, the people above have a sense of crisis, a desire for the mainland. Savage by nature, easy to huddle. According to my husband, that is, once this country develops, sooner or later it will be a danger to China. Okay, let's get down to business. ”
Song Jiu took out a chart and said, "You also know that I sent a ship to Goryeo to trade with the Japanese kingdom and made some money, more than you imagined. But as you know, no amount of money is in my hands for a turn. ”
Everyone had fun together.
"As for the Pan family, you also know that they donated 70,000 yuan to the academy, and let Nanhan extort it again, making a lot of money, but actually getting less. The reason why I did it first was because I had too many places to use my money. But I'm going south, and it may take a long time to come back, and some of my research will have to stop. Therefore let go of you. ”
"To the south? What about the football team? Guo Shouxuan asked strangely.
"I want to accompany the army, and I may conquer the Southern Han, this is a national event, is the football team more important than this matter?"
"Conquer the Southern Han?"
"Not necessarily, if the Southern Han Dynasty belonged to our dynasty and asked our dynasty for guilt, the army would not have gone south." Song Jiu replied vaguely. Zhao Kuangyin asked Li Yu to write a letter to Liu Gang on his behalf, not only to make Liu Gang surrender, but also to let Liu Gang sacrifice a state in Wuling. Can Liu Gang agree? He didn't know the specifics, but he knew that Zhao Kuangyin told him to prepare in advance. Gotta give him time, he's got too much to do.
"This is a nautical chart, it is not enough to have a nautical chart, you must have skilled sailors, but also have a solid ship, if you are interested, you can send some sailors, with the second owner of the ship to go down to Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, let them go with the ship to learn and observe, and at the same time build a sea ship in Dengju. But I state that neither country is too rich. The Wa State has gold, silver and copper, and the copper production is very low, and even the copper coins of the Chinese dynasties are used as currency. The real production is timber, but considering the cost, unless you deal in high-grade timber, it is not cost-effective to bring ordinary timber back. The second is the Japanese sword and fan. Song Jiu made a gesture, and Li Zhu took out two more samples, the Wa Guo knife was very sharp, but the fan was far inferior to the fan in the fan workshop now.
"I advise you not to operate the sword, the cement technology is gradually maturing, I left, otherwise I can succeed next year, but I won't go down for too long, once I come back, there will be a lot of steel regulators, and then I will develop some alloy technology. They will be sharper and cheaper than Wakoku knives. There are also two roads, that is, the gold and silver reserves of the Wa Kingdom, many volcanic areas have a large amount of gold and silver, what is a volcano, if you don't understand, you can ask Li Zhu, he will teach you. Where you can easily find all kinds of gold and silver deposits. However, you have to think clearly about how to operate in partnership with the Japanese merchants. The second is people, I have a lot of pit mines, bitter and tired, whether it is the court or private, there have been many bad disputes. In fact, manpower is still precious, and there is a shortage of labor everywhere. Although the mine supervisors abused the pit workers, they did not dare to take their lives, and it was extremely inconvenient to use them. If he is a sturdy laborer, and he is not registered in the household register, and he is not a citizen of my Song Dynasty, his value will not be less than fifty guan. The big ship even rushed back quickly to catch the direction of the wind, and it could carry 500 to 1,000 people. But I don't want you to do that. It's so inhumane. ”
"yes, yes." All the officials echoed loudly, and then countless joys flashed in their eyes.
Apple blinked wide-eyed. I wonder if the officials don't let them do bad things, or do they deliberately instigate them to do bad things? It seems to be the latter......
Song Jiu ignored the suspicions in her heart and continued: "There are a few, no matter what technique, especially the sea ship technique, other techniques are not good, they must not be transmitted to this country, otherwise it will be a harm to China." If someone is found to have passed on some skills to the people of this country, they must be kicked out of the Hezhou Deed Shares. Second. Goryeo has a strategic need, you can trade, you can't be abused, otherwise Your Majesty will be in charge, don't blame me for not making it clear. At the same time, when used well, it can also be used as a transit station, so that every voyage can be safely returned. With more experience, you can build bigger ships and go south to the South China Sea to eat Africa. Where is the real country of gems, spices, and gold. Guys, who's interested in joining? ”
"Me. I," they raised their hands together.
Song Jiu welcomed this very much, unlike Zheng He's trip to the West. This is to earn gold and silver, and the Song Dynasty has not forbidden the sea. That is, civil activities, even reaching East Africa. But it didn't do any harm. But most of them were people, and there were not many powerful people who participated, and what is documented in history is that Zhang Junmen pretended to be a messenger and made a million dollars once he went south. But if all the magnates are involved, and they have the wealth, the power, and the powerful, then it is likely that the great voyage of Europe will be formed. And now the timing is good, in a few decades, Confucianism will have the upper hand, and everything will be on the platform and the great voyage will be spewed to death if it is not done well.
Song Jiu said: "Since everyone wants to participate together, let's count and negotiate with each other, and then send a steward to find Yuping." ”
Jade gave a salute.
Everyone returned the salute together, what about the concubine, she is the big housekeeper of the Song family, or the big boss of the three major industries of Hezhou Shundian theater and inn, who dares to despise her.
Song Jiu said: "Again, all kinds of techniques, including books on techniques, cannot be brought to the Wa Kingdom, and the books that can be brought can be Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures, Confucian scriptures, poems and songs. Otherwise, this is not a chrysanthemum, but a knife, but a sword, and they have come to kill the people of the Central Plains, and because of the sea, the imperial army can not punish at most like the Sui Dynasty, and scold the sea from the other station, but unfortunately people can't hear it at all. ”
He also asked Li Zhu and Qin Wazi to carry down the flower arrangement and carry out many boxes from next door.
Song Jiu opened the box and took out a large and small wooden box, the wooden box was carved with many exquisite pictures and words, and opened the wooden box again, inside were all kinds of bottles, glazed, ceramic, and there were also various exquisite pictures on it. It's just that there are two kinds of bottles, the big one can hold ten catties of wine, the small one can hold two catties of wine and one catty of wine, and there is a piece of silk inside, which is embroidered with different patterns, embroidered with different beautiful scenes in various parts of the river. The small ones are just right for making beautiful square bandanas, and the big ones can also be used to make bed sheets. Even the bottle can also be used to make a vase. Even wooden boxes can be used as utensils.
It's so exquisite, come and grab it one by one.
Song Jiu opened the bottle and said, "It's empty, don't grab it." That's the second thing I said. ”
There is no wine to stop together, and there are crafts in every house, so I don't care too much. Song Jiu said: "You also saw the words on it, yes, it is used to hold wine." By next year, the liquor workshop will be six years old, and some of the liquor will be able to reach nine steaming and nine brewing. This is the first selling point. ”
The price of the kind of sake distilled in the Song Dynasty is too high, just steaming once and rebrewing once, if it is nine steaming and nine brewing, there may be less than half a catty of ten catties of wine, and the cost will increase by hundreds of times. If you think about it this way, it can indeed sell for a high price. In fact, even if distilled in the workshop, the loss is not small.
"If you sell it in such a first-class package, and you can sell it to the Fanren and let them take it back to their respective countries, it will almost be sold to the entire world world, how much do you say a pound of wine can be sold?"
"Sky-high."
"Han Dalang is right, it's not sky-high, but it can be a high price, and because of the production problem, we still have a limited supply, how much the store sells, how much can it sell outside." After Song Jiu finished speaking, some Yanai excitedly rushed over and pressed Song Jiu under him. That will be an astronomical amount, the wine workshop has made a lot of wine over the years, stocked together, re-steamed and re-brewed, of course, part of it is also researching, unlike the wine before the Song Dynasty, new brewing methods must be studied, most of them failed, but more than a dozen varieties of wine were tested, but those that have been sold in Shundian are not supplied to the outside. At first, it was a novelty, but as the number of steaming and brewing increased, the taste improved, and gradually many customers drank the taste. But because it is never sold to the outside world, the more and more alcohol is hidden, as much as nearly six million catties. When it was sold, it still had to be steamed, and there was a huge loss, but it was also a sky-high figure, and even the price of wine in the workshop exceeded the amount of principal invested in Hezhou.
Song Jiu finally got up and shouted: "Isn't it just some money, just started, there are many more behind, just this little money, you will be happy, one by one you look like you are not productive." ”
"Jiulang, who can compare with you, we just want to be happy," Shi Baozheng said happily.
"There are still things to do, one is the cost, the second is the technique, the third is the taste, the fourth is unique, the fifth is the packaging, if you want to sell it on a large scale, you must have this wooden box, this silk handkerchief, this bottle, the ceramic can be produced by the porcelain field, and the other must be operated by Hezhou. And it's time for the workshop to move," Song Jiu took out a large map and came out. It depicts the locations of various workshops, including the clothing workshop, the glaze workshop, the wine workshop, the fan workshop, and this embroidery workshop, the wooden box workshop. There is only one thing that has not been moved, that is, the farmland in Song Jiu, for students to learn agriculture, in fact, if the crops are planted well, located here, it can also become a nondescript attraction in the future.
Fu Zhaoshou said: "Why not set it up by the river?" ”
"The land by the river is precious, and it is wasted as a workshop, and you will know the Tao in the future. It is therefore located in the southeast. And the servants should also be managed, and try to let the people of the two rivers work in the river, and even some of the skillful ones can pick up the goods and do them at home, and then bring them to the workshop to deliver them, otherwise they will come and go as far as twenty miles. The people are also very hard. As for the future employment of workshops, try to relocate as much as possible, and even like these female workers, you can hire the family members of the van soldiers, otherwise their income is too low, and they are not at ease to be servants, which will also bring problems to the security of Hezhou. After the leveling of Henan is over, the house will be built immediately, and the manpower can be organized next spring for these women to study. This is a lot of money, 100,000 bottles of wine cost 100,000 square pas, which can almost make eighty percent of women work. ”
There is no opinion on this, the people of Hezhou have become better, and they are also consumers.
But they still didn't expect that if they came like this, across the river, they would also be servants, and the income gap would expand to more than two or three times, and the hearts of the people in Hebei would be chaotic again.
Song Jiu said again: "This is the second article, you will all sum up with each other next year, and I will also ask some students now, and when the time comes, they will assist you to relocate this workshop and expand it by the way." There are still some empty spaces in the southeast, you don't have to worry about them, no matter how much open space there is, it will be of great use. And then there's the third one, if I don't have time to come back, you can continue to discuss and put this on the agenda. ”
Song Jiu took out a big picture again, that is, the vacant land on the west side of the river, regardless of the south side, only the north side, four bridges, four roads, and divided the north into three areas, plus the side near the main road, a total of four rows of houses were built, there were two three-story flying corner buildings in the front and back, and a courtyard in the middle, each house was very large, occupying nearly three acres of land, a total of one hundred and twenty houses, but there were also strange places, that is, there was also a large open space on the bank of the Hulong River. Everyone understands this, and they may be doing the square, but later I realized that they guessed half right, not only the square. Song Jiu said: "If it is built like this, the cost of each house will be seven or eight thousand, or even more. That's why I've marked the starting price for them. ”
Saying that, I gave everyone a distribution map, each location is different, and the price is different, but looking at the price, everyone was stunned together. (To be continued......)
