Chapter 12 Drunk From Now On (Part 1)
Song Jiu couldn't stand it, and Zhu San himself couldn't stand it. Song Jiu couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Brother Zhu, you are not used to it, practice it first."
To replace Zhu Sanjiao’s class, we should not teach the classics first, but teach Arabic numerals. The twenty-six English letters have nothing to do with national culture, and mainly to simplify arithmetic in the future. Besides, if a nation wants to be strong, we must also learn to use it. Zhu San does not need to learn it, he is thinking about the chalk word.
The second problem is the abacus, which should have appeared, but Song Jiu did not see it. Many shopkeepers he saw continued to use funds to settle accounts. It is not difficult to make abacus. There are carpenters in the river, but it is not enough to have an abacus. You must prepare abacus.
How much do you still remember when you have abacus oral decision?
The calculator killed someone, Song Jiu could only meditate repeatedly, but he didn't think about it anymore, but the principles were the same, so he had to write it himself.
Boss Hu sent people to send various weights and measures. However, the troubles in Kaifeng County were not over, so Boss Hu took people to ask for various books on scriptures.
This has nothing to do with Song Jiu. Song Jiu first wrote more than 60 confidential regulations, which combines education and entertainment. The teaching purpose is to let these students learn and use their knowledge in the future. Therefore, if Song Jiu does not teach dead books, there are many students, and they can also be treated as miscellaneous workers. Otherwise, if they take out five jin of money every month to pay Zhu San’s salary, others will not be convinced if they continue for a long time. Teach these students the principle of pulley assembly, teach them how to make pulleys, and make various standard weight and measurement tools. This requires a contract to be signed, otherwise so many people will be able to spread the technology outside sooner or later.
After signing the contract, under Song Jiu's command, it took four days to manufacture more standard measurement tools, especially the soft ruler. Many materials were tested, including linen and kudzu, but they were not effective. They were too elastic and would cause serious errors when measuring. In the end, Song Jiu had to use iron, not stainless steel, but could only hammer and oxidize again and again in the furnace, making it a "ten steelmaking", and then evenly beat it thinly and flatly, which is the so-called soft ruler. This barely solves the material problem of the soft ruler, but the cost is so high that Song Jiu is unwilling to think about it.
Moreover, Song Jiu has encountered a third trouble these days.
I agreed a few days ago that I would only choose a few students to study and manage the accounts. As a result, Song Jiu collected more than 60 students in one go. This is unfair. Xiao Jiu is all neighbors. We can watch you grow up, so why don’t I take my children?
More than 60 students, Song Jiu, had difficulty teaching, but he still dared to accept it?
But I could not refuse, so I had to separate the courses, teach objects and practicality in the morning, the principles of pulley sets, and assembling pulley sets in the future. This technology must be kept confidential and not open to the public. I taught three other courses in the afternoon, and came to study and visit, but the house could not be squeezed, and the windows and doors were filled with young people.
Liu Yi is here again.
At this time, due to technical reasons, iron is expensive, about 30 cents per pound of iron, and a full load of rice is the price. Otherwise, the cost of Song Jiu's crane would not reach 80 cents, or it would be large-scale manufacturing, and the cost is still more than 60 cents.
But books are more expensive. A booklet can be sold for more than 100 pages, and it can be sold for hundreds of cents. At this time, it is full of large characters. More than 100 pages of booklets do not have many words. Like the Book of Changes, if there are no comments, it will not even be printed in later generations. The number of words is too small. However, at this time, the price of a booklet is around 200 cents. Not to mention the Book of Rites with more words, Spring and Autumn.
Boss Hu asked Kaifeng County for a letter, but hesitated to ask for all the nine classics. Kaifeng County was hesitant and finally prepared to compromise and asked Boss Hu how many sets of nine classics he asked for. The national finance in the early Song Dynasty was still a little difficult. As Song Jiu said, it was not as rich as the Southern Tang Dynasty. Kaifeng County was preparing to bleed.
When Boss Hu heard that many of his children came to the Song family for advice, he asked Kaifeng County Magistrate for 200 sets of Nine Classics in one go. The price of one set of Nine Classics is at least 7 or 8 guan in the market, including the profits earned by merchants. The government would buy them cheaper, and it would not be less than the cost of five guan. How dare Kaifeng County Magistrate dare to take charge of one thousand guan? He refused.
Boss Hu is a rough man and can also observe his appearance.
Although the Kaifeng magistrate refused to agree, he did not dare to get angry because of this. Thinking about Song Jiu's words, he understood and went to Kaifeng Prefecture.
The separatist rule of the vassal states, the replacement of the Five Dynasties, and the long-term wars caused all cultural and educational facilities to be destroyed, which became the biggest obstacle to restoring feudal rule. Therefore, as soon as Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he issued an edict to repair the Kaifeng Wenxuan King Temple, wrote and praised Confucius and Yan, which was not Confucius and Mencius, and ranked Yan Zi above Mencius and Xun, collected books, and successively repaired Confucius Temples in various places.
Song Jiu taught such a large-scale study, which was also a good thing for the court. After hearing Boss Hu’s report, Kaifeng Prefecture sent judge Liu Yi to inspect and deal with it.
When Liu Yi came to the Song family, he saw many people, who were a Confucian minister, and he was still very happy to see this scene. Then he saw the rules of the teacher set up by the gate. The fifteen rules of the teacher were also good. As for the spirit of patriotism, it was replaced in more than ten years. The scholars and officials could not achieve the so-called patriotism, and he could not think of it at all. However, when he thought about some of the problems in Song Jiu, he was very suspicious of the rules of the teacher, and I am afraid that even Song Jiu himself could not do it.
In fact, it is a gap between the two eras with a thousand years of gap. The big names don’t know how to evaluate Song Jiu. There are good sides, bad sides, and more, funny sides.
Liu Yi was also funny.
After walking in, he saw an official wearing a scorching official uniform coming. The student who was listening could automatically dodge a way and walked to the classroom. Song Jiu was teaching abacus. Seeing that Liu Yi came, Song Jiu sang a fat sing, which was considered a tribute. Liu Yi didn't blame him. This kid was bold and thick-skinned and asked for money began to spread among some upper class people. When he saw Zhao Kuangyi, he was careless, and he waved his hand and said, "You continue, listen."
"Then Song Sheng was rude."
It was changed from a subject to Song Sheng, but it came out of Song Jiu's mouth. It felt uncomfortable no matter how you heard it, Liu Yi was ridiculous and almost had a little fun.
A live treasure!
However, he had to admit that this live treasure was talented and deserved the emperor's attention to the second brother with the people from Kaifeng Mansion.
I just listened for a while and immediately realized the benefits of this abacus.
He was knowledgeable and had seen similar abacus. The upper beam was one pearl and the lower beam was four pearls. Unlike the upper beam, the upper beam was two pearls and the lower beam was five pearls. There was no mature abacus and the verbal decision was made, so it has never been popular. Most measurement officials in the court were still using the calculations.
Song Jiu improved the abacus and mature abacus finals, making the settlement easier and faster, so he thought of another noun in his mind, efficiency!
After a class is finished, students will move freely.
Song Jiu asked Liu Yi: "What's the matter with Judge Liu coming?"
Liu Yi talked about Boss Hu asking for the Nine Classics.
"Liu Zongzhong, when I left Hezhong, I often heard other people talking about the fierce and barbaric people in Hezhou. They know books and rituals. They know etiquette when the granaries are full, and they know etiquette when they have enough food and clothing. How do they know etiquette when the granaries are not full? How do they know etiquette when the granaries are not sufficient? How do they know honor and disgrace when they have insufficient food and clothing? Once the poverty problem in Hezhong is solved, there are more people reading and literacy, and the upward and downward effect, will they still be a barbaric and wild Hezhou? Judge Liu, I was only going to collect 63 students, but you can see how many students who attended the audience? If it weren't for the limited area, there would be more people attending. The Hezhong area is also the status of the capital city. There should not be a barbaric and fierce area in the capital city, and the people in Hezhong also think about it and are eager to learn knowledge, but this cannot be my responsibility, it is the responsibility of the court."
"It's not that the government refused to give it to you, that stupid guy is going to want too much."
"I only need sixty-three sets. Anyway, these students will also practice calligraphy in the future, let them copy and distribute it to more people, so that more people in the river can recognize some words. Only with cultural knowledge can they completely change the appearance of poverty in the river." Song Jiu was righteous and actually had a small plan in his mind. Now it was the beginning. At the same time, he was blocking his elder sister's mouth. He was still thinking about whether there were other better jobs to make money, but making money must have a group of qualified people for him. Now teaching students, these students may be able to help themselves in the future.
Liu Yi didn't expect such a "dirty" thought in his heart, and said, "If it were sixty-three sets of nine sutras, I would be sure. That abacus and oral judgment..."
"This is my wisdom and hard work."
"Boy, you're here again."
"A gentleman loves money and takes it with a good idea."
"A gentleman is ashamed of being profitable, this is the way!"
"Judge Liu, let alone these false and empty principles, I still have debts to pay off. As long as it is obtained through legitimate means, the more profits the better."
Liu Yi sighed long, "Are you the fifteen rules for cultivating morality and educating people?" After shaking his head for a long time, he said, "In this way, I will send a batch of pens, ink, paper and inkstones for these students to study. If you want any money, it is impossible!"
"Middle, high-five as evidence."
"That verbal trial..."
"The pen, ink, paper and ink are sent, and the oral punishment is out."
Liu Yi rushed over and left in surprise. When he walked out of the door, he almost asked the sky speechlessly, and murmured: "The most strange thing in the Song Dynasty."
Song Jiu repeatedly "blacklisted" Kaifeng Prefecture, although the number was within the scope of Kaifeng Prefecture's endurance, he was also afraid that he would finally ask for a lion's words and hurriedly send pens, ink, paper, and inkstone worth five or six hundred jin of coins to exchange for abacus.
Zhao Kuangyi took this oral punishment and wanted to go to Kujingxiang to punch Song Jiu a few times. But it still made him feel funny.
Not only Song Jiu's greed, but also the affairs of the Zhu family. Someone in the Zhu family sang loudly at the door day and night, and bribery was not enough, which became a joke for the people in the capital. Kaifeng County didn't know how to deal with it, so he reported to Zhao Kuangyi. Zhao Kuangyi also sent yamen runners to persuade him. However, as long as these rough men did not break the law, they were not afraid of the government and still refused to listen. Zhao Kuangyi was also difficult to deal with.
He put down his verbal decision and couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of person are you, Xiaojiu!"
...
The Zhu family forced Song Jiu to apologize, and promised to donate 100 guan to this simple school, as if Kaifeng Mansion had not paid any compensation. Song Jiu did not agree. His face and self-esteem were only worth 100 guan. What kind of money can be obtained and what kind of money cannot be obtained must be clearly distinguished.
"I am a scholar, don't use Adu to insult me."
The Zhu family is thunderous, and you can also be considered a scholar.
Song Jiu came to the river bank with his hands behind his back. Four blacksmith shops were building more than 40 pulley sets and iron chains, while Li Blacksmith took his apprentices to cast high platforms. After repeated experiments at home, Song Jiu and his students were able to test the current high platforms and pulley sets were more scientific and perfect than the first pulley set.
But the first pulley set was working all the time. New things were very curious, and there were many people coming to see it. It almost became a scenic spot on the Bian Dike. At this time, a fragrant car stopped and walked out of the car. Two girls were raised to look at the net bag and hung up many sacks filled with wheat. He couldn't help but sigh softly: "These thick people are a little wise."
