Chapter 53 Comparison (Part 2)
Weigu said, "No."
"Brother, what's wrong."
"Little sister, don't interrupt, second brother, think about the strange things on this kid's river, as well as bread, monkeys, and other strange things, so when he shouted, let's go there together. We were all hungry by him."
"Yes, this kid is a bad guy." Wei De said.
"Where is that monkey."
"Little sister, we brought a kind of fruit. You can quickly go into the living room to eat. If you go late, your mother will leave it all for the fourth brother."
Pan Lian'er entered the house.
Wei Zheng raised his fist and said, "I will beat him next time."
"Third brother, you can't beat him. If you beat him, I'm about the same."
"Second brother, don't mess around, I still feel wrong."
“What’s wrong.”
"Second brother, please compare Song Jiu with Zhang family Xiaolang."
"Why compare them?"
"We don't mention my sister's marriage, we only talk about their lengths. First of all, compared with family backgrounds, Song Jiu's father is my father's subordinate, and Zhang Bing is also his subordinate. The difference is that General Zhang Bing is still alive and has a good family background. Song Jiu's father died, so his family background was once in a loss. The Song family is not as good as the Zhang family."
"Yes, otherwise why would my mother intentionally ask the younger sister..."
"Second brother, don't worry, family background is part, it depends on the individual. Your Majesty's family background was not very good before..." Pan Weigu dared not say anything. Zhao Kuangyin spent a hard time when he was young, and it was very hard. His father was a small officer. However, although the Khitans did not kill many people after entering the capital, they robbed them, which made it more and more difficult for the people in the capital. Zhao Kuangyin grew up, Zhao Kuangyi was born, and he had two daughters. Maybe Song Jiu could not feel this feeling, but in this era, there were many children in the family, and the eldest son was the most miserable one. The father would not hurt, the mother would not love, and the younger sister would come to teach a lesson at all. Even later, Zhao Kuangyin was the emperor because of rumors in the city. At that time, he was a general. He wanted to go home to find some warmth, and even asked the younger sister to drive out of the house with a rolling noodles, shouting, a real man was determined by his own affairs, and he should be determined by his heart. Why go home and scare women!
At home, there are many family members, and their lives are difficult, and the young and old are excluded. Zhao Kuangyin forced him to run away from home. He first defected to his father's good friend Dong Zongben, but Zhao Kuangyin's ability made Dong Zongben restless and drove him away. Then he defected to his father's former subordinate Wang Yanchao. Wang Yanchao was very happy. After having a meal, he gave him a few cents of money and sent him away. So this good emperor was not easy to be. Zhao Kuangyin would definitely hate when he thought of this, but he had to use Wang Yanchao, with enemies, Liu Bang, and Li Shimin, but only Zhu Yuanzhang did it.
The world is so big that there is nowhere to go. Zhao Kuangyin has been wandering outside for a whole year. No one knows whether he has been stealing or not in the past year. He only knows that when he appeared in front of Guo Wei with the last glimmer of hope, he was dressed in tattered clothes and a dish-like face, which made Guo Wei not believe that he was a child of an official. His father was kind to him, a man who had not tolerated Zhao Kuangyin. Guo Wei, who had only met his father, immediately took Zhao Kuangyin in and used him as his personal soldier.
Zhao Kuangyin was so inconspicuous and even incompetent, not as good as Song Jiu before the age of seventeen. However, as soon as he shines, it begins to make people dazzling.
Pan Weigu did not refer to Song Jiu reaching the height of Zhao Kuangyin. The starting point was different. One was a variety of miscellaneous talents and the other was a direct gun. The latter could only lead to power. The former could only be said to be able to reach a path of wealth.
That's enough. Do you expect Zhang Zhaoyun to become the emperor in the future?
The two brothers thought about it carefully. Song Jiu was a scholar, but he didn't like to lose his articles. Zhang Zhaoyun was a military general and did not participate in the imperial examinations, but he liked to lose his articles. He could not evaluate it based on his own preferences, but he had his own advantages and disadvantages.
In terms of appearance, Zhang Zhaoyun is above Song Jiu, but Song Jiu is burly and strong, not bad. A man can only look good. What is the function of looking like Pan An?
In terms of position, Song Jiu is not as good as Zhang Zhaoyun, and is of the same eighth rank, with a huge difference in nature. In addition, his family background, at first glance, Song Jiu is not as good as Zhang Zhaoyun.
However, we can't see this way. Song Jiu is not as good as now, but Song Jiu rises up quickly. If the emperor asks the emperor to evaluate, Song Jiu is much more important than Zhang Zhaoyun. In addition, Song Jiu has many shortcomings, but one thing is that it is a strong sense of humanity, including the people in the river, relatives, friends, students, and getting along with him. Even if it is his yamen and his family. It is said that he is not lustful. He has never met that beautiful prostitute and is more dedicated to his affection.
In this way, Song Jiu is also a good candidate for brother-in-law.
Wei Gu slapped his thigh and said, "Oh no, that innocent man is pure and kind, and he is diligent, and is very kind to Song Jiu. He is so gentle around his fingers. Over time, how can he not fall in love? Last time she held Song Jiu's hand. If it were the case, Song Jiu would have thrown her hand away for my little sister, but not."
"What are you talking about?" Pan Lian'er said angrily with the bread behind her back.
"We didn't say anything," the three brothers scattered.
...
Zhao Kuangyi was even more worried. This offensive work cannot allow the elder brother to come forward. If the elder brother's position is stable, his position can only be stabilized. So he directly told the ministers several reasons. If the country wants to end the turmoil of the Five Dynasties and go from chaos to governance, it must promote civil governance and attach importance to talents. What Song Jiu said is the most important, talent, which makes him remember. If talents want talents, he must value education. Not only should he educate talents who are good at being officials, but also have some capable minor officials and low-level officials. The court must set up a large academy to cultivate these talents. The college is located in the capital, which is also conducive to the concentration of state rights and consolidation of rule. Secondly, the piers are in the city together, and the piers are ships coming and going, and the people are mixed. It is not a long-term plan. It must be moved to the outer city. The court used Hezhou, the docks to build academy outside Dongshuimen, and those tombs must be moved.
The effect was not ideal, and many ministers opposed it. If the house was easy to handle and the grave relocation was too immoral, what was right and wrong about Chai Rong? Still talking about it. The retired prime minister Fan Zhi found Zhao Kuangyi despite his illness and said that it was not impossible for the court to build the college wharf. Hezhou was so big, why can't he accommodate several lonely graves?
I immediately asked about the key points.
If Song Jiu had the ability to pay 100,000 yuan a year to the court, he would have smashed it with hundreds of tombs. The key is that there is no such thing as the future, and Zhao Kuangyi still didn't believe it very much. He would not dare to reveal the bet to Mr. Fang Zheng.
Zhao Kuangyi also has a solution.
He sent someone to notify Song Jiu, is there any way for you to maximize the power of that black gunpowder?
Song Jiu also made this grave extremely troubled. Since Zhao Kuangyi used the power of gunpowder to make a fuss, he simply did a big one. He said that he could, and asked Zhao Kuangyi to direct the soldiers to build a city wall five meters long and ten meters high on the river bank. The width of the city wall was designed in the widest place outside the capital, and all the city walls were built with blue bricks.
Zhao Kuangyi knows that he will spend a lot of money, but it is not worth the loss just because he relocates his grave, but he wants to see the maximum power of gunpowder and can also spend it.
Everything was built according to the most solid city wall and two feet deep foundation was laid. It took more than ten days to build it, and thousands of dollars were used. There was no labor cost in the middle. Bricks and tiles were too expensive, and a piece of civilian bricks could cost several cents. The requirements for city wall bricks were stricter, weighing 18 kilograms and dozens of cents per yuan. Therefore, Chai Rong built the outer wall of Kaifeng, transported the soil of Yunshui Hulao Pass to build the city, and only used city wall bricks in some key places and city gates.
The flowers made Zhao Kuangyi feel a little painful. The wall was built. Send someone to notify Song Jiu, are you ready? Song Jiu wrote a long letter, and after seeing the letter, Zhao Kuangyi notified Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin brought his ministers to Hezhou in a mighty way.
He first looked at the Bian River, and ships sailed by the river from time to time. But no matter how you look, it was extremely desolate, not like a golden place. The group walked forward, and Song Jiu led his students to Fu Ying.
"Let's go flat." Zhao Kuangyin said forcefully and weakly.
He didn't expect that it was so troublesome at that time. If he had not seen some benefits, he would have wanted to ignore Jun Wu's jokes and repent about this bet.
Song Jiu did not immediately test its power, put on a table and built two city walls with many building blocks on the table, one high and the other low. After building it, he said: "Your Majesty, all the ministers, if you use the same wall of force to push these two walls, what will happen?"
As I said that, I pushed it with my fingers, of course, a high city wall is likely to collapse.
Song Jiu remembered that there were many high-rise buildings in later generations, and some people explained it to the high-rise buildings, saying that the sturdiness of the building has nothing to do with the pit and the height. How could it be? The height is different, the torque and pressure will not be the same. If the same materials are used and the same standard construction is adopted, the shorter the house, the stronger the shock force will be.
This metaphor is not enough. Song Jiu asked the students to take away the building blocks. The two doctors despise the science of matter, and Song Jiu could not make any sense. Therefore, this big occasion brought the students to watch and deepen their impression.
Song Jiu put the blue bricks on the table again and said, "But if there are too many forces coming from below, the situation will change again."
As he said that, he punched the bottom of the table and the blue bricks bounced.
Then he added blue bricks, and dozens of them were added in succession, which were not high. He even placed them incorrectly to make them connected. He punched him again, and did not move the blue bricks and said, "Why don't move this time? Because it has enough weight to withstand the power of this punch."
Added blue bricks again, and when it swung to a certain height, Song Jiu punched the bottom again, and all fell down. Song Jiu said: "Why is it easier to collapse this time when the height reaches a certain level? It is because the height, and the height reaches a certain level, it will generate a certain torque force. As long as there is a force below, it will easily collapse."
Then he pointed to the city wall and said, "It is only one meter tall now, but its width keeps up, so it is the strongest height and weight."
The next sentence does not say that as long as this city wall can be knocked down, all the city walls in the capital can be knocked down one, two or three.
In order to let everyone see its power more objectively, Song Jiu winked at Zhao Kuangyi, and was prepared. The forbidden soldiers pushed up the siege car, that is, a sharpened big hitting wood was placed on a special car, and used the force generated by the swing of the hitting wood to hit the city wall. This would work against ordinary city walls, but the force against those tall and strong city walls was almost zero.
The injunction soldier pushed the car and rang hard, and the city wall didn't move for a moment.
Zhao Pu said angrily: "Song Jiu, don't try it, let's see the true power of gunpowder."
"Yes, follow the order of Zhao Xianggong." After Song Jiu finished speaking, he asked the injunction soldiers to push the car back and let the injunction soldiers dig the tunnel. Since ancient times, countless wonderful offensive and defensive battles have been launched around this city wall. The Song Dynasty also had some "professional" inminating tunnels.
Just to do a trial example, these big shots cannot wait too long to start digging two feet from the city wall.
The speed was very fast, and it was dug under the city wall in an hour.
Song Jiu asked the student to carry a super large wooden box. I don’t know how big the explosives in Hong Xiuquan’s coffin was, but I think the black gunpowder technology was improved at that time, with similar proportions, but the purity of nitrate and sulfur must have exceeded that of Song Jiu’s purified sulfur and salt.
So Song Jiu imitated the largest coffin and used twice the volume to create a wooden box, which contained more than 300 kilograms of black gunpowder, wrapped in layers of oil paper, and the wooden box was blocked with oil wax to tightly strengthen its sealing.
Several people carried a large box and drilled into the tunnel. Song Jiu also made a ground dog. This also requires technicality and must be aimed at the city wall to enlarge the effect. There are also differences in the thickness of the wooden boards in the wooden box. The lid is facing inward, and the wooden boards on it should be thinner to keep the air pressure generated by the explosion rushing upward. This principle can also be used to make the air pressure left, right, forward, backward, and downward, and used for mining.
