Chapter 294 Little Fish (Part 2)
Dao Ning did not hate Song Jiu. The two had an interesting relationship. A new temple was built. Whether it was a temple or a temple, or a half-church and half-month temple, they had to invite people to come. Jewish religion is easy to handle, and they have very little influence. Even if the temple is not large, the temple in Hezhou is their largest temple at present. After entering, they are happy.
Taoism is not a big problem.
The main thing is Buddhism, which has a great influence. Song Jiu's temple is not a temple building in other places. When people in other places practice temples, the Taoist monks who come in must not be too evil. Evil or evil is the presidency, and the other is the abbot. However, there are many schools of Buddhism, and the most influential is undoubtedly Zen Buddhism. Song Jiu certainly doesn't understand the meaning of preaching, and he has not even studied the Diamond Sutra. But one thing is to know is that Zen Buddhism gives up appearance and pursues its original heart. As long as the Buddha sits in his heart, he can drink, eat meat, burn Bodhisattva statues, and chant the sutras without chanting the Buddha's scriptures, but these can be done, what else can't be done?
So Song Jiu gave up Zen and chose other sects. Finally, he found Daoning, the great monk from Huayan Sect. The first time they met, Song Jiu asked a few questions, and then Daoning was confused when he heard Song Jiu. Finally, he said, "Don't talk about the meaning of the sutras. There should be too many sutras in Confucianism, but many civil officials were confused as soon as they became officials. I only asked one question, do you do good deeds. Daoning said lightly, "Why do you have to be an abbot of your small temple because I am famous in Buddhism?"
It is not a small temple, but it is a big temple, but it is very famous.
Song Jiu is speechless, you are qualified, go.
Dao Ning smiled slightly and Heshi left.
Doing good deeds is Song Jiu's only standard, and some aspects are consistent with Buddhism.
But sad things finally happened.
After the fourth day, Song Jiu and others survived the onset of the disease, but some terrifying little rashes on their faces had not completely subsided. There were also some low fevers, and people seemed to have no strength. Song Jiu said that he wanted to talk about the story, and he was playing with his family. During this period, he not only cooperated with the two doctors to make observations and records, but he carefully recalled the knowledge he could still remember in his previous life. In addition, he thought about the results of the experiments made by the academy students. It is impossible to remember everything they learned, nor can he learn everything, but his knowledge is based on the theoretical basis. The results of the students' thinking through these experiments are completely different from the results of his thinking. Some knowledge deteriorates, but most of the knowledge is progressing on the contrary. It can even be said that his two-life knowledge is gradually becoming more and more consistent with this era. This is too important. Even if he has learned much knowledge in his previous life, it may not be able to be used in this era. Only by co-producing can he be activated.
Let’s record these thoughts.
It was spreading outside, but it was not that scary. Although smallpox was also contagious, it could not be called the most terrible infectious disease, and it was even far from the speed at which malaria was spread.
However, the children of Wei Xiaogou's family finally couldn't stand it.
He Liang carefully applied his gloves and put the little guy's pulse on him. The woman was right beside him, not daring to say anything, and walked out and said, "Jiulang. No."
The woman was not stupid. Seeing the faces of several people, she hugged the little guy and cried. The child wiped his tears for his mother and said, "Empress, don't cry. I will never be naughty again. Listen to the empress."
The next day, the child of Wei Xiaogou's family died. This is a concentrating the entire era. One of his seventh sisters' children also died of illness, and one of Pan Weigu's children also died of illness. Moreover, they were infected with this kind of evil disease. But Song Jiu still felt very depressed.
He stood by the side silently, comforting the woman for a long time.
However, the death of the Wei family's child allowed the two doctors to obtain first-hand information.
It also gave Song Jiu a clear understanding that cowpox is not omnipotent and can only play a preventive role. There are still many troubles. The first person who is not able to cultivate vaccines and can only find people who have cowpox sores. Use sores to catch acne. This will have limitations.
There is no danger for people in quarantine, but it does not mean that this sore is omnipotent and has side effects. I don’t know whether there will be any failures in catching acne. I still don’t know.
There is another thing Song Jiu doesn't know.
In fact, the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the smallpox began to increase, but it was not the most prosperous era, and it began to become a serious disease in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, in the early Song Dynasty, there were not many examples, and the land was wide and the population was sparse, and the population was not very popular. There were not only the early Song Dynasty, but it was found very early, including the Tang Dynasty. However, the Tang Dynasty prohibited the movement of people, and the harm was not very great, so people could not be afraid of talking, so they would not attract enough attention from people.
Including Zhao Kuangyin.
When Song Jiu was quarantined, Zhao Kuangyin heard that this matter was no less than sacrificing himself to feed the tiger. Shi Gui, the head of the horse army, said lightly: "Your Majesty, I think the sky sores are infected by small insects, but Song Jiu's whole body is covered with it. You should be fine. Your Majesty should not worry, and major matters are the most important. If there is really danger, Your Majesty will go forward, and I will worry. Song Jiu also made mistakes. He is Your Majesty's confidant minister. He ignored the overall situation and sought good reputation in the capital. I think it is the small gain of the loss."
This sentence is very vicious.
If there is no danger, what are you going to do?
But there is danger. Song Jiu is a national talent. Even if the Wei family's children are saved, they will save themselves and put themselves in a dangerous situation. Is it worth it? Especially when the capital is looking for a good reputation, it is even more vicious.
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin remained silent about this matter.
This doesn't matter, and Song Jiu doesn't plan to use it to seek credit. He wants to seek credit and rewards, so there are not too many opportunities.
But what is terrible is that Zhao Kuangyin became suspicious.
But next Shi Gui did something, which was a big deal.
Song Jiu believed that Zhao Kuangyin was less generous than Li Shimin's, but the situation was different. The Li family's turmoil was defeated, but Zhao Kuangyin's turmoil was stolen from Chai Rong's son Chai Zongxun. In addition, the previous generations changed, so he was full of distrust of his ministers in his bones.
After Zhao Pu stepped down, he gave Zhao Kuangyi the qualification to stand in the first rank to wash away Zhao Pu's mark. But he still had a doubt, so he gradually valued Shi Gui, and Shi Gui's identity was twofold, one was the head of the horse army and the other was the leader of the Jinyiwei, who only lacked the qualification of the Jinyiwei to take on people. Song Jiu was isolated, and the two had a vague conflict because of Zhang Qiong's death, but they did not intensify like Shi Hanqing.
The emergence of Hezhou led to the prosperity of commercial cities in the capital in the Song Dynasty by at least thirty years ago. There were not many households in the capital, including only about 100,000 residents outside the city wall, but the population gradually reached more than one million. The extra population included merchants and military households from all over the country, and royal families and officials. The survival of these people required a lot of materials and money. Some were provided through tax support, and some were purchased from various places through and purchase.
But it must be supplemented temporarily.
For example, the palace needs a lot of ingredients, especially vegetables, in a day, and must be purchased in the capital on the same day.
The development of commerce has awakened some people's awareness of profit-making in advance. Some people colluded with officials and took a path of buying and losing money. In turn, they sold goods to the government at high prices, or unsold goods to the government, and other things.
This seriously damaged the interests of the court. Especially those unsold goods cannot be sold in the market and given to the government, which is mostly useless. After Shi Gui reported it, Zhao Kuangyin asked him to investigate the matter secretly. It is a disadvantage, but in a large country, there are too many disadvantages. Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin asked Shi Gui to investigate secretly and declare him to be executed immediately after investigation. Instead of doing it through formal interrogation, it is a disadvantage.
The attack was too wide. From the city, to Hebei to Hezhou, there was something really happening, or if there was something happening, all of them were executed after reporting by Shi Gui. For a time, everyone in the capital was panicked and did not even dare to do business. In particular, Hezhou became the key target of Shi Gui's attack.
However, Shi Gui ignored one thing.
The merchants have a low status, but the money they have in their hands is very high. Even the monks shouted the slogan of money Rumi, and the others. Hebei was originally half of the abortion and business began to decline, but they couldn't hate Song Jiu, who was in Hezhou. Don't they want to make Hezhou better? But instead of directly attacking like this, Zhao Pu left the position of prime minister and had no influence at all? What Shi Gui didn't know was that there was a giant standing behind Hezhou.
Soon the news reached Zhao Kuangyin's ears.
Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict, and no one was pursued before, but from then on, if the city's official property is arbitrarily increasing the value and deceiving official money, if there is any such incident after the trial, it will be punished according to the law.
But this matter is not over.
Think about Wang Anshi's reform, how many people have opposed him for the sake of the country's good? Shi Gui hurt the interests of many people this time, so he could let it go like this. The three of them talked about the tiger, and Shi Gui slowly spoke to him Zhao Kuangyin didn't believe it anymore.
The riot caused by General Shi didn't last long. In the midst of the major events that were about to happen, he was also a small fish.
The Song family's small fish was born.
Shi Gui cut off his own way, but he cheated Song Jiu a little. Hezhou manager came to report that Song Jiu could not come out, but he passed the message and watched the change. It was far worse than Zhao Pu and others' strategy, but this matter could be seen.
Jade apple production.
The court did not express his opinions on Song Jiu's research, but the people were very grateful. Li Po and Zhang Po kept saying: "This time, all the people pray for blessings, the Song family will definitely get a young man."
Pan Lian'er suspected.
When it comes to praying, wouldn’t I receive more blessings when I was pregnant with my second daughter Song Panpan? However, it would be a bit thin if there was only one boy in the Song family. As everyone was looking forward and worried, Yuping gave birth to a second child.
Another daughter.
Yuping is a little better. She has a son and several sisters are somewhat disappointed. Pan Lian'er suddenly said, "No, Xiaoyu is the boy's name and cannot be used."
So the family ran to Dongfang again.
At this time, many people who were isolated had returned home, and Song Jiu and the two doctors were also getting better, but they had been dealing with two smallpox patients and had to continue to be isolated. The Wei family's children died, but they left valuable records. At least no one has observed smallpox patients in the past. At the same time, they also gained a valuable experience, that is, cowpox is a vaccine, but cannot play a therapeutic role.
When Song Jiu heard that it was his daughter, he said, "You are so good at daughter."
"What's the good thing? You have to prepare a dowry of 100,000 yuan again," Pan Weide yelled loudly. Pan Lian'er wanted to cover his mouth but didn't even cover him, and the people next to her burst into laughter.
Cao Can, who was playing football, also rushed over and said happily, "Jiulang, you have to make money well. In the future, you have a few more daughters and book one for my family."
Pan Lian'er chased him and beat him with her belly.
But Song Jiu still insisted on using the name Xiaoyu. What a cute name, it is good for girls to use. At least it is better than the big pig, two dogs, and three cows.
The quarantine period is finally over.
Yuping's body has not recovered yet and cannot leave for the time being. Song Jiu is engaged in research on the steel supervision again. This time, the experience of observing and acne-catching experience and everyone's reactions have to be compiled into a book, but that is the business of two doctors. Through some channels, Song Jiu vaguely heard what Shi Gui said. He didn't want to steal this merit, and now he doesn't want to steal it anymore.
It was not until the end of June that Song Jiu handed over the medium-sized blast furnace technology.
Wind power is still a problem. Large blast furnaces are built with water trucks in the turbulent water flow to drive large bellows. The wind power is still insufficient. Of course, it is definitely much better than the previous iron smelting, but this is not what Song Jiu needs. Compared with the blast furnaces that appeared for the first time, the blast furnaces are gradually becoming smaller and medium-sized, which seems to be backward, but in fact they become more progressive. First of all, the manufacturing cost and difficulty decrease, which is a necessary condition for promotion. Secondly, the quality of the smelted iron is slightly improved. To enter the steel era, it is not enough. It must be larger, but that requires something more complicated, that is, the steam engine.
The technology may not be difficult, but without drawings, it is still too difficult for Song Jiu.
But this technology accumulation is done slowly, and the research on wall clocks has more or less feedback to utilize more complex casting technologies in the future.
Another advantage is that the research on refractory bricks has emerged, and various refractory bricks can be transformed into a coke oven.
This is a process of precipitation.
During the research process, Song Jiu made an improvement on the coking oven and handed over the drawings to the court. The research on the steel supervision came to an end. There was also, but it would take a long time to wait. There was also research, but they were all in Hezhou and were not too far from home. Yuping left the capital.
After getting on the boat, Big and Big Su had some resentment in his eyes.
Originally, Pan Lian'er and Yuping agreed that sexual intercourse was inconvenient, so Song Jiu asked them to take them down. Song Jiu disagreed, but if the two mistresses tried hard, they would not be successful. After comparing it, they would rather be a phoenix tail than a chicken head. Those who liked him could only be a concubine. Those who could be a wife were not as good as a concubine. Those who could be a wife were better than to be a concubine in the Song family.
Song Jiu patted their little heads and said, "You guys, just thinking about me now, I don't know how many years ago, ordinary women from ordinary families were unwilling to be my wife. Don't think about it. When I come back, I will give up a thick dowry and see if there are any good men willing to marry you."
Xiao Su was not afraid, and laughed and said, "How many?"
"How much do you want?"
"One tenth of a hundred thousand."
"You want to find a fight," Pan Lian'er patted her on the back.
"Okay, I promise you."
"Kyuro, don't listen to your sister," Dasu said.
"Not much. In my heart, you are my sister. Is there more than ten thousand pieces?"
Xiao Su laughed, Da Su Yingying bowed and told her a lot of words, and then several people got on the boat and sailed away.
...
Yuping left, causing a small sensation in Hezhou. However, in the current context, Yuping is also a small fish, which is very inconspicuous. Li Yu also knew that the Song Dynasty was uneasy and sent an envoy to write a letter, hoping to listen to the emperor's plan.
The seal refers to the emperor's appointment edict to the king. Since then, Li Yu has completely become a minister of the Song Dynasty, but retains the governance power under his jurisdiction, which is similar to the various vassal states of the Tang Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin did not allow it, so he sent Liang Jiong to the Southern Tang Dynasty to envoy him, and only brought a sentence to Li Yu. The court will have a firewood ceremony this winter, that is, the firewood sacrifice ceremony will be held in winter. Lord, come to the capital to assist in the sacrifice!
