Chapter 124 Two Heavens (Part 2)

"meeting."

Yuping smiled and said, "I have always been worried. The higher the Jiulang official is promoted, the more worried I am. I am worried that I am like the white fox. I don't want to be that white fox..."

"What are they? That's just a story. Are there vixen in this world?"

"But there are many women's lives, just like the white fox."

"Yu Ping, I have been not expressing my opinion on this matter because I am afraid of letting you down." Song Jiu said in a slight manner by typing the skylight. This matter cannot be dragged on forever, that is unfair to Yu Ping.

Yuping was very strange: "Isn't it normal to take a concubine?"

"It's normal, but I have to consider your feelings. If you stand in this position, you feel wronged. However, I am not bad at it, so I invite you to manage the main store or other industries for me."

"Jiulang, the I will definitely handle them well and put them on track before entering the Song family's door."

"Why?"

The two have been "dampness" and lack of communication. The formal communication today seems to be quite difficult. Yuping said strangely again: "Jiulang, you are an official, whether you are a wife or a concubine, you cannot show up in public. I want to manage the main store and be your wife and concubine?"

Song Jiu finally walked out of guilt, bent down and laughed, and said, "You misunderstood. It was a main store, not a small winery of my elder sister. Many affairs were handled by my subordinates and officials. You only need to use your knowledge and wisdom to direct behind the scenes, or be responsible for handling some special incidents. Besides, what's wrong with the big sister? If you don't steal or rob, the money you earned is not open and open? You have to rely on here, otherwise in two or three years, you will be the chief shopkeeper of a property worth hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan. Who can't you marry if you want to marry?"

"I just stay here, I feel like home here." Yuping opened her heart and said mischievously.

Song Jiu is right, love affairs are really not easy to deal with. Song Jiu is not easy to give it to him, but he is not bad for Yu Ping from other perspectives, but he is confused about things. Yu Ping is not very interested in the CEO, but he is eager to have a real reputation.

Song Jiu said again: "I really can't give you a reply right now. Although I know it's unfair to drag it on, the matter in Hezhou is too troublesome and I dare not be distracted."

"Jiulang. Without Hezhou, you can make a lot of money. In addition, your salary is much higher than before, so we are not short of money."

"Yes, just one glass and a greenhouse can bring me a lot of wealth, and I have other means. But Yuping, have you ever thought that if there were no Hezhou, Your Majesty would give me an official and reward me for money. Just the research and development of glass, more than 4,000 yuan has been used up. Besides, if there was no strength of Zhuya Nei, could he dig up more than a dozen glass craftsmen? Without this cause, nor the fruits now. Now I am not short of money, but do I dare to stop now?"

I couldn't stop, as soon as I stopped, Zhu Yanei could tear Song Jiu and eat it.

Yuping laughed.

"In fact, sometimes I regret it too, it's better not to make that bet..."

"What bet?"

Everyone was talking. Song Jiu did not shy away and quietly told him the gamble with Zhao Kuangyin. Yuping laughed again and said, "Your Majesty must not believe it at that time."

"Yes, and I am also betting on the national fortune. If my dynasty cannot recover the Southern Tang Dynasty in a few years, I will lower my contract shares again, pay taxes, and pay the land rent, and it will become more and more difficult in the future. Don't tell Qingyi about this."

"Has Qingyi's mother handled it?"

"Shi Dalang went to write a letter. This is a trivial matter. I believe it will be handled as the governor. But it is far away and no news has been sent back yet. Don't worry."

"It's not that I feel at ease, it's that Cui'er is not."

"Or ask Qingshu what it means, if he doesn't dislike it, he will get married for them the next year."

"Okay, if Qingshu agrees, order as soon as possible." Yuping said worriedly. This child is very smart. He is not sure that his future will grow bigger and bigger in a year or two, and Cui'er becomes the second self.

"I'll leave it to you. If you are worried, I'll hand over the account book, money and silk at home to you tomorrow."

"That won't work."

"What's wrong? Let you get familiar with it first," Song Jiu walked back and forth, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this decision was very wise. If Yuping was wronged, then give her more rights. Moreover, Yuping was very smart. She would plan to do it in the past few months and also learned some accounting. Now the accounts are not complicated and can manage them, which will also reduce the concentration of herself.

"That……"

"I promised you to never leave you. No matter what your identity is, I still promise to hold your hand and grow old together."

"That……"

"Stop that, I know what you think."

"As long as Jiuro doesn't dislike him, I will obey Jiuro's arrangements."

Song Jiu was silent. Although Yuping said this, it was probably impossible to say that she was willing. Let's talk about it later. The facts were not intentional. Song Jiu did not intend to delay it. He was too busy during this period, especially when winter was deep, and this matter has not been made public. He even fantasized that if the court did not urge him, Sichuan would gradually calm down and he would pretend not to lose his money. The next day, Blacksmith Li sent several samples of the stove. It was simple and fast to make. Song Jiu then built a handmade machine.

Or he could use hydraulic power to make related machinery, but Song Jiu didn't want to do that, so he simply made it all by hand. Then he used this simple manual honeycomb coal machine to make dozens of honeycomb coal according to a certain proportion, and then burned it after drying it, and looked at the firepower and the effect. The technological progress of honeycomb coal in later generations has also been faked. The firepower is insufficient, and the sealing time cannot be very long. The strictly standard honeycomb coal can seal the furnace for 18 hours. In fact, the honeycomb coal sealing furnace can reach seven or eight hours, and some are not enough for six hours. Two pots of water have to be replaced with coal as soon as they boil. It is this inferior quality that has caused its sales. I wonder if this world will appear again.

Song Jiu absolutely came according to the standards. This was easy to test and the results were obtained in two days. He chose a recipe that could burn at least four or five pots of water and seal the furnace for seven hours. Then he summoned the yamen together. The Bian River left Tokyo City, gradually widening, and there were not many places with rapid water flow. It could not affect the waterway. In other places, most of them were set up with stone trunks, mainly for pounding rice. They had to be close to the capital. They had to be able to stop the ship to unload coal. There were not many places for actual choice.

No one knows it yet. Yes, there are only six places that can be chosen until the steel prison is located. It is too far to the steel prison. If it is close to the capital, there are only two places, one including opposite Dahongqiao, and it is impossible to be a workshop. The coal is dark everywhere and will affect its scenery. Even if others set up workshops here in the future, Zhao Kuangyi will most likely ask them to demolish them. Therefore, there is only one place downstream, which is the location on the Hongqiao on the River During the Qingming Festival.

This cannot make bad money, and its technology is simple, so it cannot make money even if it wants to. But it is better because of its large quantity. If it becomes popular, it will be a considerable income. Therefore, 94 companies, including Song Jiu, have evenly distributed it, and the capital is not much. Fifty-five yuan is enough for a family.

The workshop started construction a few days later, and it was very fast.

Song Jiu continued to travel, and the old man from the Liu family found Song Jiu and said, "Jiulang. I don't understand one thing very much."

"Tell me."

"The eldest son of the Su family arrived at the military camp, and my second son also entered the military camp. They all entered Sichuan together. Why did the child of the Su family send back a lot of money and letters to return and even report safety? The child of my family did not mention money and letters. But he did not even send a letter of peace. If he said he died in the battlefield, at least the court would have an explanation. I went to the military camp to ask. The generals in the military camp did not answer. What's going on?"

There are some military households in the river, and their households cannot be said to be in the river. The forbidden soldiers are kept in captivity. The military camp and family are all in the northwest of the city, that is, the Pan House goes further northwest, which is the area where the families of soldiers are located.

But at this time, it was not a family of children. Some of them were drawn and became the banished soldiers, and their families moved to the military camp, but there was also a family in various places, including the river.

Song Jiu is not easy to answer this question. He has not yet understood all the truth, but Han Chongyun has explained enough. The generals make the most money. The soldiers only make a small fortune, some make more money and some are less. Wang Quanbin's direct army probably gets the most.

But it doesn’t matter if you get rich. The most important thing about marching and fighting is not how much money you make, but how you want people to be safe. If you follow the old man of the Liu family, this situation may be the worst. Sichuan is in chaos, and it is impossible to be safe for all the soldiers. However, if you die in battle, the corpse will be brought back to the capital. Even if you are buried in the local area, you must have a message or some pensions. If there is nothing in the Liu family, it can only be a situation... betrayal!

Lu Han and other generals and schoolmen were betrayed by their subordinates due to uneven distribution of spoils. Now they don’t know how many soldiers are involved. The court is afraid of causing civil unrest and cannot tell the matter. If the Liu family’s children were in Lu Han’s army, it would be tragic.

Song Jiu lamented that the people of the two rivers are two different heavens, and this is the real two different heavens.

But he didn't dare to say it, and said, "I heard some news that the Bashu rebellion gradually subsided, and once it was quelled, the soldiers would definitely come back. Then there will be news. That's the front line, I'm just a sesame official, and I'm not very easy to ask."

"Jiulang, General Wang's yamen is also intimate with you. Please ask him to ask his father."

Song Jiu couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to say, "Liu Wengweng, I'll give it a try, but we are just a group of half-girls, and General Wang may not give me face."

"Thank you Jiuro."

Song Jiu walked away silently. Lu Yuqing said that the refugees of Bashu were actually just one. The resentment in the hearts of the people. If Zhao Kuangyin was willing to behead Wang Quanbin, half of the resentment of Bashu people could be removed. After Lu Yuqing's careful governance, Bashu would be able to stabilize in a few years.

It seems that Zhao Kuangyin did not kill Wang Quanbin, but he killed those who were killed but killed. How could the Song army be stricter? If a tiger and wolf army built by Chai Rong was eliminated, can the Song army still fight a good battle? But this is not what Song Jiu dared to say.

When he came to Dongshuimen, he looked at the coal workshop, summoned the yamen and said, "We will withdraw some capital, distribute stoves to the people, and send some honeycomb coal."

"Why is this?" Shi Baozheng asked strangely.

"This is called the advertising effect, otherwise how can the people know when they are created? If they give it, they will burn it and think it is good, they can only buy it. This is not a lot of money, it only takes a few hundred pieces."

There will always be people who don’t have money to grab. Two thousand coal stoves and twenty thousand honeycomb coal are stolen in each yard in the blink of an eye. But they also got into the bucket. After tasting the benefits, each yamen recovered fifty jin of money and built ten thousand coal stoves, scattered in each yard in the capital.

With more than 10,000 households, these coal stoves are simple to work with, one iron sheet, one iron stall, and one yellow mud baking stove, the cost is only 100 cents, so more people customize iron stoves. Almost every blacksmith shop is working overtime to build this kind of stove.

But the winter problem in Hezhou was also solved. Two furnaces, and the walls were pasted tightly, the winter would not be colder. Even a thousand furnaces were customized in the palace. Not only the harem, but also the various departments of the imperial city had to use it, and ordered another 200,000 pieces of honeycomb coal. The furnace was sent out not long before the cost was recovered.

The group of Yanei was so happy that they could only hear Song Jiu shouting about making money over the past year. He didn't make a penny, and more money was trapped. Today, he really made a fortune. However, the good times did not last long. Seeing them profit, another group of Yanei opened a second workshop, and set up the water mill for crushing coal on the edge of Dahong Bridge to face Song Jiu's trolley.

Of course this doesn't work. It not only affects the landscape, but also does not affect the water mill. However, if the ship must be stopped and unloaded coal, it will affect the waterway. Besides, the imperial court saw all kinds of Hezhou and was cautious about Hebei. How could it be possible to set up a coal workshop here?

Lu Duan brought people to demolish them, but when the yamen runners came, they didn't dare to move. Pan Weide said sharply, "Minister Lu is going to make a dilemma today, and Zhao's yamen are also there."

Zhu Yanei did not object to these coal workshops set up by Yanei. They had little capital and low skills. Without Zhao Pu's son, they would have set up workshops, other workshops would appear, and it would be impossible to monopolize them. Besides, who is afraid of whom. So a group of people watched the show on the river side.
