Song Jiu patted the chair and said, "The basic substance cannot be compared with the meaning of the classics."

Yanei laughed together. Song Jiu said that this year's examination, the Ministry of Rites' provincial examination, and selected 63 Jinshi in Sima Pu. The admission rate was high, almost reaching 6 to 1, not counting, and 43 people who failed the fifteenth examination and were given birth. In other words, if they tried hard in the future, as long as they finished fifteen, they would be admitted even if they failed. This was not the later imperial examination, which was the examination every three or four years, and now they took the exam every year. They could get a very fast. As long as they lasted for fifteen years, they could get a birth.

The edict was released, and countless people in the world gave up all the affairs and studied hard with the scriptures.

Students from the academy were either invited by various merchants, including Hezhou, or hired by the court as officials, and some people joined officials, but none of them could become officials. However, Jinshi was different. As long as they passed the imperial examination, they were officials.

Not only the people outside, but also many students in the academy were studying the scriptures hard, including the statue at the entrance of the academy, his husband Einstein, Confucius and his seventy-two students and seventy-three.

Song Jiu was helpless about this.

It depends on whether the students are competing for success. Both are used by the court, and who has greater abilities. When the students' overall quality is far beyond the so-called Jinshi, I believe that no matter Zhao Da or Zhao Er, I have to consider it carefully. No matter how they fight, these two are not foolish monarchs who ignore the country.

"Everyone sit down, let's talk about the serious business," Song Jiu said.

Some yamen looked at everything in the academy curiously. This was their first time entering. The Scriptures defeated the object, but this academy was very sacred. There were still many families who brought their children to register. They were just not open to outsiders, and they could only lie outside to watch.

It’s important to do things. Sit down together.

In a huge classroom, there are more than a dozen veteran generals who teach martial arts. For the time being, they can't compete in martial arts. There are many people who choose martial arts.

Song Jiu slapped his mouth, and Li Zhu and Qin Wazi went to the next classroom to bring two bottles of flowers to arrange. Song Jiu said, "Let's take a look."

Because they value internal governance and enjoyment, the Song Dynasty gradually developed food, clothing, housing and transportation. Not only did they have many delicious food, they also loved flowers and even more loved flower arrangement. Many families put a vase and bought a few bouquets of flowers to put them in. But everyone wondered why they put flowers on them. Can flower arrangement make money?

Song Jiu said again: "Why are they different when you look carefully?"

Staring at them together, Fu Zhaoshou replied: "It seems to be a little different. The bottles in the east are full of poetic and elegant, and the bottles in the west are also beautiful, but they give people a feeling of solemnity."

This is the art of flower arrangement. The same flowers and different insertion methods give people a completely different feeling.

Everyone stared at them carefully. The bottles in the east were very pleasing to the eye. It was obvious that Song Jiu asked the master to insert them, but the master sat next to him, Yuping! Looking at the west, the more I looked, the colder I felt, as if the chrysanthemum poem of Huang Chao, as if countless sword shadows were flashing.

Song Jiu said: "It is a flower arrangement in Japan. Japan is surrounded by the sea and lives a difficult life. Therefore, the people above have a sense of crisis and desire for the mainland. They are barbaric by nature and are easy to gather together. According to what my husband said, that is, once this country develops, it will sooner or later harm China. Well, let's talk about the serious business."

Song Jiu took out a chart and said, "You know, I sent a boat to Goryeo to trade with Japan and made some money, which was more than you thought. But you also know that no matter how much money I had in my hands, I would just go around for a while."

Everyone had fun together.

"As for the Pan family, you also know that they donated 70,000 yuan to the academy and asked Nan Han to blackmail them again. They earned more, but actually got less. The reason I acted privately was because I used too much money. But if I wanted to go south, it might take a long time to come back, and some research had to stop. So let it go to you."

"Going south? What should I do if that football team?" Guo Shoulin asked strangely.

"I want to follow the army and may conquer Nanhan. This is a national event. Is the football team more important than this?"

"Where is the Han Dynasty in the Southern Expedition?"

"Not necessarily, if the Southern Han people belonged to our dynasty and apologized to our dynasty, the army would not attack the south." Song Jiu replied vaguely. Zhao Kuangyin asked Li Yu to send a letter to Liu Yu, not only let Liu Yu surrender, but also let Liu Yu sacrifice a state on the five ridges. Can Liu Yu agree? He was not very clear about the specifics, but he knew that Zhao Kuangyin told him to prepare in advance. He had to give him time, and he had too many things to do.

"This is a nautical chart. It is not enough to have a nautical chart. You must have skilled sailors and a solid ship. If you are interested, you can send some sailors to go to Goryeo and Japan with the second shipowner, let them learn and observe along the ship, and build sea ships in Dengzhou at the same time. However, I declare first, both countries are not too rich. Japan has gold, silver and copper production, and its copper output is very low, and it is even using copper coins from all Chinese dynasties as currency. The real production is first, wood, but considering the cost, unless you operate high-end wood, it is not cost-effective to bring ordinary wood back. Secondly, it is the Japanese sword and the fan." Song Jiu made a gesture, and Li Zhu took out two more samples. The Japanese sword is very sharp, but the fan is far less than the fans in the fan workshop today.

"I advise you not to operate the Japanese sword. The cement technology is gradually mature. I will leave, otherwise it will be successful next year, but I will not go too long. Once I come back, there will be many steel Regulations, and then we will develop some alloy technologies. They will be sharper and cheaper than the Japanese sword. There are two other roads, that is, the gold and silver storage of Japan. Many volcanic areas contain a large amount of gold and silver. What is a volcano? If you don't understand, you can ask Li Zhu, and he will teach you. Where can you find various gold and silver minerals? But how can you run it in partnership with Japanese merchants?

We need to think clearly. The second is people. I have too many mines, and it is hard and tiring. Whether it is from the court or private, many bad disputes have occurred. In fact, manpower is precious and labor is lacking everywhere. Although the mining supervisors have abused the pit workers, they dare not take any life, which is extremely inconvenient to use. If a strong laborer is not in the household registration and is not a citizen of the Song Dynasty, his value will not be less than fifty taels. If the big ship even rushes to the wind and rushes back quickly, it can carry 500 to 1,000 people. But I don’t want you to do this. It’s too inhumane.”

"Yes, yes." All the yamen agreed loudly, and then countless joy flashed in their eyes.

Yuping blinked her big eyes. She thought to herself whether the officials would not let them do bad things, or would she deliberately instigate them to do bad things? It seemed like the latter...

Song Jiu ignored her suspicion and continued: "There are a few things that no matter what technology, especially sea ship technology, and other technologies, cannot be passed on to this country, otherwise it will be a harm to China. If someone finds that some technology is passed on to this country, he must kick out of Hezhou Qi. Secondly, Goryeo has strategic needs, you can trade, and you cannot abuse it, otherwise your Majesty will hold it. It is not a fault for not explaining it clearly. At the same time, it can also be used well, and it can also be a transit station that can make every voyage safely. With more experience, you can build a larger sea ship and go south to Tianzhu, South China Sea to eat Africa. Where is the real country of gems, spices, and gold. Everyone, who is interested in joining?"

"I.I," raised his hands together.

Song Jiu was very welcome to this, unlike Zheng He's voyage to the West. This was a profit of gold and silver. The Song Dynasty never banned the sea. That is, folk activities, and even arrived in East Africa. It did not cause any harm. But it was mostly the people, and there were not many powerful people participating. What can be found in history is that Zhang Jun's disciple pretended to be the name of an envoy and made a million yuan in money in one go. However, all the powerful people participated in it. They had wealth, power and power, and there were people, so it was very likely that the grand voyage of Europe would be formed. And now the time is good. In a few decades, the Confucian ministers will have the upper hand and they will have to exaggerate everything and make a big voyage to death.

Song Jiu said: "Since everyone wants to participate together, we will discuss statistics and negotiations with each other, and then send the supervisor to find Yuping."

Yu Pingying gave a gift.

Everyone returns the gift together, so what about the concubine? She is the boss of the Song family, or the leader of the three major industries of Hezhou Shundian Theater and Inn. Who dares to underestimate it?

Song Jiu said again: "Another statement, all kinds of technologies, including technical books, cannot be brought to Japan. The books that can be brought can be Buddhist scriptures, Taoist scriptures, Confucian scriptures, poetry, songs and articles. Otherwise, this would not be a chrysanthemum, but a knife, but a sword. They came to harm the people of the Central Plains. Because they were separated by the sea, the imperial army could not punish them at most, like the Sui Dynasty, and cursed them across the sea. Unfortunately, they could not hear it at all."

Li Zhu and Qin Wazi were asked to carry the flower arrangement down and lift many boxes from the next door.

Song Jiu opened the box and took out wooden boxes of all sizes. There were many exquisite pictures and characters on them. He also opened the wooden boxes, which contained various bottles, glass, ceramics, and various exquisite pictures on them. However, there were two types of bottles. The larger ones could hold ten kilograms of wine, the smaller ones could hold two kilograms of wine and one kilogram of wine, and there was also a piece of silk inside, with embroidery and different patterns, embroidering different beautiful scenes in various parts of Hezhou. The smaller ones were used to make exquisite square chews, and the larger ones could also be used to make bed sheets. Even bottles could be used to make vases. Even wooden boxes could be used to make ware.

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. This is the second thing I said."

There was no wine to stop together, and every family had crafts, so they didn’t care too much. Song Jiu said: “You also saw the words on it. It’s good. It’s used to hold wine. By next year, the wine workshop will be six years old, and some wines can reach nine steamed nine brews. This is the first selling point.”

The price of distilled sake in the Song Dynasty was too high, and it was only steamed once and brewed again. If it was steamed nine times, the price might be less than half a kilogram of wine left in ten kilograms, and the cost would be increased by hundreds of times. If you think so, it can indeed be sold at a high price. In fact, even if it is distilled in the workshop, the loss is not small.

"Then it is sold in such first-class packaging and can be sold to foreigners and brought back to their respective countries. That is almost sold to the whole world. How much does a pound of wine cost?"

"Sky price."

"Han Dalang is right, it is not a sky-high price, but it can be a high price. And because of production issues, we still supply it in limited quantities. How much does it cost to sell in the store and how much it can be sold outside." After Song Jiu finished speaking, some yamen rushed over excitedly and pressed Song Jiu under him. That would be an astronomical figure. The wine workshop has brewed a lot of wine in recent years, and it has been in stock and steamed again. Of course, part of it is also studying. Unlike the wines before the Song Dynasty, new brewing methods must be studied, and most of them have failed.

But more than a dozen wine varieties were tested, but they were sold in the store and were not supplied to the outside world. What they started drinking was novel. As the number of steamed brews increased, the taste became better, and gradually many customers had a drink. However, because they were never sold to the outside world, the wine in it was more and more, up to nearly 6 million kilograms. When it was sold, steamed brews were still needed, and there were huge losses. But that was also a sky-high price, and the price of wine in the workshop exceeded all the principal invested in Hezhou.

Song Jiu finally got up and shouted, "Isn't it just some money? It's just the beginning. There's still a lot behind it. Just this little money will make you happy, all of whom are incredible."

"Kyuro, who can compete with you? We just need to be happy," Shi Baozheng said happily.

"There is still a problem, one is cost, two is technology, three is taste, four is unique, and five is packaging. If you want to sell it on a large scale, you must have this wooden box, this silk handkerchief, this bottle, and ceramics can be produced by the porcelain farm, and the others must be operated by Hezhou. And the workshop is also time to move," Song Jiu took out a large map. It was painted with various workshop locations, including clothing workshops, glass workshops, wine workshops, fan workshops, as well as this embroidery workshops and wooden box workshops. Only one thing has not moved is Song Jiu's farmland for students to learn agriculture. In fact, if the crops are well grown, they can also become an inappropriate attraction in the future.

Fu Zhaoshou said: "Why not set it by the river?"

"The land by the river is very precious and is wasted as a workshop. You will know in the future. Therefore, it is located in the southeast. The servants must be managed, and try to let the people of the two rivers work in Hezhou. Some of them can even pick up the goods at home and take them to the workshop for delivery. Otherwise, some of them will be around twenty miles away. The people will also work hard. As for the work in the future, try to mainly move households, or even like these female workers, they can hire the families of the soldiers. Otherwise, their income is too low and they are not at ease to serve in the service households, which will also bring problems to the security of Hezhou. Henan leveling is over, and the houses can be built soon. Next spring, people can organize their hands to let these women learn. This is a large number, and a hundred thousand square platters are required for 100,000 bottles of wine, which can almost 80% of the women have work."

I have no objection to this, the people of Hezhou have become better, and they are also consumers.

But they still didn't expect that if they did this, if they were all servants, the income gap would widen to more than two or three times, and the hearts of the people in Hebei would be in chaos again.

Song Jiu said again: "This is the second point. You will consider each other next year. I will also ask some students to help you relocate this workshop and expand it by the way. There are still some empty places in the southeast, you don't have to worry about it. No matter how many empty places there are, it will be useful. Then there is the third point. If I don't have time to come back, you can continue to discuss and put this on the agenda."

Song Jiu took out another large picture, which is the open space on the west side of Hezhou. No matter what the south side, only four bridges and four roads are built, the north side is built into three areas, plus the side near the main road, and four rows of houses are built in total, with two three-story Feijiao Buildings in front and behind, and a courtyard in the middle. Each house is very large, occupying nearly three acres of land, a total of 120 houses, but there are also strange places, that is, large open spaces appear on the banks of the Hulong River. Everyone knows that they may be making squares, but later they know that they guessed half of it, not only the squares. Song Jiu said: "If you build this way, the cost of each house will be 7,000 to 8,000 guan, or even more. Therefore, I marked the starting price for them."
