Chapter 46: The Eighth Grade
Zhao Kuangyi and Li Chongju started to stare blankly, and looked at Song Jiu again. Song Jiu smiled and said, "The two kings and Li Situ, this is the true meaning of mathematics. You see, fold once, one into two, fold twice, one into four, fold four times, one into sixteen. Fold eight times, one into two hundred and fifty-six times. This is almost at the limit of folding this piece of paper. But fold sixteen times, it is more than 60,000 times, what if it is folded thirty-two times? It is more than 400 million times. What if it is folded sixty-four times? What if it is folded sixty-four times? What if it is folded one hundred times?"
Li Chongju also sweated, waved his hand, and said to the little official who wanted to make a fortune and rush to fold it up: "Okay, you can go home to retire."
That little clerk was sad.
Song Jiu said again: "Simple is not necessarily that simple, complex is not necessarily that complicated. The Tang people produced Modao mostly to achieve 100-fold forged steel. How many times did they fold? One hundred times or one hundred times. Because after each folding, the craftsmen hammer it again, and then fold it again. It is not one hundred times. Why is this steel sharp? There is a carbon alloy process during the hammering process. It is folded on the surface for a hundred times, but in fact it divides the whole steel into trillions of billions of surfaces and evenly carbides, so it produces first-class good steel. This is its principle. However, I saw that now, I have not seen any records related to technology. Li Sizhi, you have also dereliction of duty. Although it is a path, it is also a path that benefits the country and the people, and it must be recorded."
Li Chongju was still in a daze. Obviously, one hundred and tens of billions of billions seem to be too far apart, so why is it connected?
This is a very confusing misunderstanding. If Song Jiu had not used this origami performance, most people would think that this kind of 100 folded steel was only hammered one hundred times and two hundred sides. In fact, every folded and then hammered and folded, it is not as simple as two sides, less than one hundred square meters of two, but far more than two hundred sides.
"Technology is very important. One technology can double the iron production, another technology will double again, and the third technology will double again. In fact, it will increase by how many times, not three times, eight times!"
Some are a little circumspect.
However, both of them are extremely smart people. After thinking for a while, they finally figured it out.
Song Jiu said anything about alloys and elements, and it was useless to say it. But a simple origami experiment was more effective than anything else. The two looked at each other, their eyes full of wings. They believed at least 60%. So there was a second edict.
Hearing Song Jiu's opinion, he changed his order to inspect the rights of all pits in Hebei Road, and was promoted to the second-level official and appointed as the 23rd-level official eighth-level official. If he was promoted to the eighth-level official, it might be just that. Some ministers would object, and the voice would not be very strong. It was just a scattered official, not a rank or a rank, but not a rank but not a rank. However, this level of promotion was promoted to the third level in a few months, and Zhu San began to talk nonsense again.
Song Jiu ignored him and looked at the four people in front of him. They were the Guo brothers, the tenant who sold dog skin plaster. Don’t be serious about the big hammer. If Song Jiu practiced it, he would also be able to play. It was the principle of pressure in mechanics.
But this pair of brothers Kong Wu is powerful, and Song Jiu has not practiced martial arts and martial arts, so he is not very clear. He probably has martial arts, but he may not have martial arts. Although these brothers are fooling people in their performances, they practice boxing constantly every day and have never competed. Although Song Jiu is cheap, his father Song De has made great contributions and is very strong, I think the pair of brothers are not weak. Moreover, they have been around for a long time and may not be killed, but they can be considered knowledgeable.
There is another person, Boss Hu and the Guo brothers have fought, Song Jiu is not clear, even if he has fought, he has never seen it. Boss Hu fought many times with his own eyes. Last time he fought with a group fight with a strong man in Hebei, he knocked down four big men alone, and went to Kaifeng Prefecture to beat a hundred big sticks before he was released.
The last one was also the coolie Miao Hui on the river bank. It turned out that he was a hunter. His hometown suffered a flood and moved his family to the capital. He had a good archery technique. Song Jiu often ran to the river. There were many places and sparsely populated areas. Some wild birds had seen Miao Hui shoot a wild pheasant flying towards the sky with an arrow. There should be some strange people in the river, but they have never seen it. After hearing rumors, Song Jiu didn't believe it. So he only found these four people.
Boss Hu grinned and said, "Xiao Jiu, what does it mean? Let me do your part."
"Hu Xingtou, what are my plots toward that? Will you go or not?"
"It's OK to go, but I'll declare first. I'm not your division, nor your slave."
"OK."
"Also, I went there because you were good at home in Hezhong, and I didn't just curry favor with you."
"Don't listen to Zhu San going crazy. I'm just a scattered official. I have anything to be curious about. Going to Hebei cannot be considered a business. Just take a look and go back to Beijing quickly."
"Boy, I am the eighth rank. That is the position of a single official who was awarded only the top scorer in the exam."
"Okay, I still have officials, where is my official official?"
"You boy, just be content."
The eldest sister didn't know the story behind the scenes, and just laughed at the side. She had been laughing from the morning until now, and she almost never said anything. Yuping stood aside gently, with a subtle smile. Seeing Song Jiu settle down with the four of them, Yuping said: "Jiulang, you are also an official of the court. You can't lose the face of the court. This is the brocade garment sewn by the servant for you."
I opened the small bag and it was a brocade robe with good embroidery. It was obvious that Yuping had put some effort into sewing it.
"Thank you."
"No need to thank you, this is my family's business."
Boss Hu laughed, there was something inside!
"Hu Xunto, don't think about it."
Before he finished speaking, a large group of people came from outside. Song Jiu was not well-informed. Some were well-informed. Most of the young men who had dated Song Jiu had gathered together. Fu Zhaoshou hugged Song Jiu and said, "Jiulang, you are not interested enough. If you are promoted, you won't notify me."
When you reach the eighth-level scattered officials, in a sense, you can really interact with them.
"Fu Sanlang, this promotion is a matter of doing things. If the matter is broken, it is not called promotion, but a cause for the crime. What is worth notifying?"
Okay, we all clamored to ask Song Jiu to treat him, so we didn’t have to spend money on the main store. We also made it at home like we did last time, especially the fruit. We had to make more, and we were ready to eat and took it home. In the midst of the noise, the bigger big shot arrived, Zhao Kuangyi.
Zhao Kuangyi was not the oldest among these people, but when he saw him coming, he saluted silently and respectfully. Song Jiu sighed in his heart and had to salute.
"Everyone is exempted from gifts, why are you here too?"
When Song Jiu saw Zhao Kuangyi's shock, Zhao Kuangyi saw Song Jiu's affinity. Zhao Kuangyi thought to himself that this boy had a bad ambition, otherwise he would be a character. Everyone stammered, and Zhao Kuangyi said again: "No need to say, you are trying to treat him, but Song Jiu is going to do a serious business for the court this time, so you can't delay it."
“Yes, yes.”
"Song Jiu, are you ready?"
"The Second King, you are ready." Song Jiu said, not only was his luggage ready, but he even invited several entourages.
"Since you're ready, then you're ready to set off. I'll bring the carriage and see you off by the way."
The eldest sister was stunned. The two famous kings in the capital saw their younger brother off in person? Of course, she was in the valley and didn't know that this was what Song Jiu said. If she really took out a way to increase the Song Dynasty by one million kilograms of iron a year, what's the harm in sending it out of Fengqiu Gate?
Zhao Kuangyi looked at Yu Ping again and heard about this trip many times. This was the first time he saw it with his own eyes. He looked good and looked very gentle. At least he could match this kid. Why was this kid determined to pursue the daughter of Pan Mei family? He thought of Song Jiu's bet with his elder brother. Could it be that this kid was masochist and liked to challenge difficult things? So he took advantage of the time when everyone was not paying attention and came to Yu Ping and whispered: "Miss Yu, if this kid does good things for the country this time, he will have a bright future. You must hurry up."
"Yes, thank you, the second king," Yuping answered nervously for some reason, but her heart was tight. But Zhao Kuangyi still couldn't see Song Jiu and Pan Lian'er well. After the joke that day, Mrs. Pan Mei returned home and heard it, and was furious. She even locked up Pan Mei's two sons for a while, not allowing them to go out, and even locked Pan Lian'er at home. Fortunately, because Song Jiu's father was a former subordinate of her husband, Tian did not bring his family to the door.
If the elder brother did not interfere directly, there would probably be no chance for Song Jiu and Pan Mei’s daughter. Zhao Kuangyi also wanted Song Jiu to get married as a family as soon as possible. He would become steady as soon as he got married. This kid was too impetuous and slick. Although he was talented, his shortcomings would be unbeautiful. Now he is a scattered official. If he is a official, bringing this atmosphere to the court will make the censor frustrated.
He walked to Song Jiu again and asked, "Song Jiu, how sure is this trip?"
"The second king, I just went down to see if I was sure I had to conduct an experiment."
"test?"
"Experience on technological reform."
"How many sure Is there after the test?"
"The two kings, I never lie, and I dare not lie with the two kings. Since I have said it, I can achieve it, but how much can it increase the yield, I dare not say it. Maybe the surprise may be more than the expectations of Your Majesty and the Two Kings, and maybe it cannot meet the requirements of the two kings for one million pounds."
"You think there will be surprises?"
"The two kings, unknown, don't force me to regard it as a promise." Song Jiu was also afraid. It turned out that it would be rainy when it was exposed to the wind. How dare you speak all your words?
"Song Jiu, this matter is more important than your crane. Don't be frivolous."
"I dare, it is also important to me, but maybe it may give the court a lot of surprises. Not only iron, carbon, lead, and tin can increase their production, but even steel, if you want to increase production, the court must cooperate with me and develop technology, which will be obtained by the court."
"As long as your request is not excessive, the court will cooperate with you."
Boss Hu and the other two packed their luggage, and Zhao Kuangyi said again: "Go."
Song Jiu was not anxious, and he was anxious. Moreover, the court was cautious this time. Not only did he give two horses to a large carriage, but he also had two cavalry guards. As for Boss Hu and the others, I'm sorry, if you walk, you may not be able to ride a horse.
The group sent Song Jiu to the bridge without sending him off. However, Pan Weide became angry. Zhao Kuangyi looked along his eyes and saw two girls standing on the Bian Dike and pointing at this side. One of them was Pan Lian'er.
Zhao Kuangyi was sweating all over. If Pan Lian'er didn't participate in this big show, Song Jiu was willing to do it and would never have a chance, but if Pan Lian'er participated, it would be fun. Song Jiu also saw it, and was crazy wherever he stood. Yuping also saw it, looking at Pan Lian'er with complicated eyes, but unfortunately he was far away and could not see Pan Lian'er's eyes clearly.
Han Qingxiong ignored Zhao Kuangyi's presence and smiled at the sky: "Ha, ha, ha."
Zhao Kuangyi shouted in a low voice: "Song Jiu, please leave quickly."
It doesn’t matter if you are not here, you can’t make trouble. Don’t get yourself into this bloody scene. In fact, it’s really wrong for Pan Lian’er. It’s just a coincidence that she came. Seeing this large group of people standing on the bridge talking, including her two brothers, I stopped and even told the maid about Song Jiu’s frivolous deeds. Regardless of whether there were any misunderstandings, Song Jiu got into the carriage in front of so many people and bowed to everyone, "Don’t send it back, please come back."
