Du Zhongxiao and Su Song sat under the shade of willows, watching Tao Shiqi bringing a few workers in front of him, installing a piston made in Xin. The biggest problem now is to raise the pressure of the steam, connect the condenser outside to increase the temperature difference. This is what Du Zhongxiao learned in junior high school in his previous life, and now it has been verified bit by bit by bit. Due to the incomplete materials, the instruments are simple. For example, thermometers and pressure gauges use some methods to see a rough idea. Anyway, just know the proportional relationship between steam pressure and temperature difference and power.

Du Zhongxiao also wanted to make glass, but it was not successful. Now there is a glass making process, but the development route is different. Going towards making jade and jade, there is only ornamental performance. To make transparent glass, you need to select raw materials and do many experiments. In the small place in Yongcheng, you can’t afford much money for Du Zhongxiao to use it on these things, so you can only make small fuss. Du Zhongxiao can’t pay for these things by himself.

With glass, many instruments can be made, such as mercury thermometers, pressure gauges, and all kinds of things. Du Zhongxiao is all about these technical things. If you continue to do it, it will depend on the clever people and skilled craftsmen of this era. Of course, if you have the conditions in the future, it is better to run a school. That is the future. Du Zhongxiao does not have the energy yet.

He handed over the mansion report to Su Song beside him, and Du Zhongxiao sighed: "The two prime ministers of Fan and Han entered the country from the northwest and were in power. There are rich ministers who are in the same position as each other. It is a good thing to join forces to implement the new policy. However, the censors and the staff of the court used this to attack the old ministers, which made the world furious. Shi Zhi talked about the great scholars of the times. No one could say anything about writing "Ode to the Holy Virtue", but they often pointed out that important officials were evil, alas--"

Su Song received the newspaper and saw it, put it down casually, and remained silent.

Du Zhongxiao also said: "During the Jingyou period, Xianggong Fan was demoted, and Cai Junmo wrote the "Four Sages and One Unworthy Poems", which caused endless storms. Now Shi Zhishu goes further and writes the "Sacred Virtue Poems", pointing out that the important officials are "Demon Bo" and "Great Treasures". What kind of convention is it! Cai Junmo is a Censorate, Ouyang Yongshu and Yu Andao are both censors, and they are all in the same spirit as Shi Zhishu and others. With Fan, Han and Fu, the prime ministers are great sages, what do other ministers in the court think?"

Su Song sighed lightly: "Is Shuxiao different from Shi Zhishu and others' political views?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "There are no different political views? It's just that they call themselves a gentleman's friend, and because the censors respond to the prime minister, they violated the taboo of not making friends with the dynasty. This matter is of no use to the government, and it may not be a good thing for Fan and the ministers of Han."

Su Song said: "However, Xia Taiwei was in the northwest for several years, and the rebellion was not over, and the achievements were not yet established. When he entered the court, he was dissatisfied with the people. Even if he was renamed the Privy Councilor, it was still difficult to appease the public. Xia Taiwei was in both palaces, so he was afraid that the censors would not give up."

Du Zhongxiao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I think the Grand Marshal Xia is not worthy of all the responsibilities, so I just point out his lack of talent. Why bother to be a villain? He is a treacherous person and a charity? He is a rank of titles to reward merits and an official to be capable. This is an ancient saying. Regardless of his merits and talents, will the officials who do things be incompetent? "

Su Song smiled and said, "It makes sense when you know this. But at this time, Taoism is open, but what you say is not the time."

Du Zhongxiao shook his head and stopped talking about this topic with Su Song. Su Song himself was not enthusiastic about party struggles, and Du Zhongxiao was not interested in opposition. However, he could see clearly that it was the time when Taoism was rising, and it was useless for Du Zhongxiao to oppose it, but he complained. He was afraid that Du Zhongxiao would not be able to think about it and got involved in party struggles. It was nothing to say a few words in private, so he was no longer interested.

Xia Qian was the Northwest General Strategy Envoy, Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi were the Deputy General Strategy Envoys. As a result, after several years of fighting, Xia Qian returned to the court and was accused of being a traitor. Even Shi Jie pointed at the nose and scolded him. However, the two deputy envoys were dismissed and became the great saviors of the government, making Du Zhongxiao unable to think about it. The difference between this made Du Zhongxiao confirm his views on the Qingli New Policy. The old and old were in the old, and the friends were competing with the party. There was no hope for the imagined situation.

The Qingli party struggle began when Fan Zhongyan was demoted during the Jingyou period, and by this time he had completely broken his face. However, it was no longer Lu Yijian, but Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and Fu Bi. They accounted for the majority of the prime ministers, and there were censors outside, and they had absolute advantage in power and public opinion. However, Fan Zhongyan was not Fan Zhongyan at that time. As a banner, his personal relationship with Lu Yijian had long eased, and he also complained about Shi Jie and others' practice of intensifying party struggles. However, he could not control the situation at all.

Cai Xiang, Ouyang Xiu, Yu Jing and others, which of these are better together? The pen is like a knife, and the mouth is stronger than the other. If they are targeted, then there is one better? This is because Wang Su was reported to have a marriage with Kong Daofu and was released on Huainan Road, otherwise these people would have greater power. As the youngest son of Wang Dan, the prime minister of the former dynasty, Wang Su also has a personal relationship with the emperor.

The so-called Lu Party and Fan Party are divided into the so-called Lu Party and Fan Zhongyan are mainly young and strong officials, while the Lu Yijian Party targeted by them is mostly old ministers, with only Wang Gongchen and Zhang Fangping and other young and strong people. Moreover, the Fan Party took the initiative to form a party, and the Lu Yijian and his gang were not actually united. Many people were forcibly tied up by others, and they themselves had no consciousness at all. Xia Shu, who was targeted at this time, was actually inconsistent with Lu Yijian. He also thought that he should be the prime minister and did not want to rely on anyone.

The war in the northwest was Xia Feng, the chief commander of the general, which actually reflected many problems. That is, whether the emperor or ministers, or even the people of the world were dissatisfied with the government affairs of the previous decade and had to implement a new and old replacement. Lu Yijian was in charge of the government for the longest time, so who would take the blame if he didn't come out? Xia Feng took the blame for the war in the northwest, and Lu Yijian took the blame in the court, and withdrew from the government affairs with responsibility. This is the new situation of government affairs that should be opened.

Fan Zhongyan had already spent his youthful years and probably had a relatively clear understanding of this. However, his career was bumpy and he did not form his own team. He was just a nominal leader. Ouyang Xiu and others were deeply involved in the play and could not extricate themselves. The future was really not optimistic. However, as the saying goes, success or failure of Xiao He, Xiao He, Ouyang Xiu was a generation of literary scholars. They lost their political struggles, but public opinion and history won.

Du Zhongxiao knew two things about this reform. One was that Fan Zhongyan and others lost, and the other was a historical conclusion. The gentleman was harmed by villains, which led to the government's follow-up and the opportunity for reform. This was a dilemma. Whoever got involved was unlucky, and Du Zhongxiao certainly complained.

Seeing Du Zhongxiao shook his head and sighing, Su Song said, "We are just a county job, so how can we take care of the affairs of the ministers in the court? Don't worry about it. You wanted to set up some industries a few days ago, but have you figured out what to do?"

Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao cheered up again: "I'm roughly a little bit ambitious. I decided to do the land business in the past. Those who don't enter Guanzhuang will naturally go, and they will manage it according to the editorial households. In Yingtian, the land in Guanzhuang will be divided, and the village should be controlled by the village people. The village management methods, refer to ancient books, select the elderly and designated personnel. All the village security and town clerks should be used as county officials, pay salaries, urge money taxes, inspect the local area, but ignore the affairs of the village."

Su Song nodded, and after hearing Du Zhongxiao's words, there was only a general concept. The village community is an ancient method. When Du Zhongxiao's meaning, there were some shadows of the well-field system. Reforming the ancient system is the right path for traditional Chinese reform. Of course, Du Zhongxiao actually refers to his collective ownership in his previous life, so there is no need to explain it to others. Because from the surface, referring to classics, it can be said that it was the improvement of the village community in the pre-Qin period.
