Chapter 66 Reward

The sky became bleak, the wind gradually roared, the clouds became yellow, and their heads were drooping, and they were slowly rolling in the sky with weak power.

The difficult winter is coming.

Song Jiu bought a lot of charcoal, and he was too involved and had less time to teach. Originally, Song Jiu wanted to take a holiday in the 39th period, but from the 29th to the end of the 49th, Yan and Zhang disagreed. He had to teach this winter, so Song Jiu had no choice but to buy a lot of charcoal. It seemed that he had found two coal mines from Xuzhou, but the storage volume was not clear, so it was not easy to mine. In addition, there was a problem of gunpowder, which had to be produced by the court. Then a problem followed one after another, that was the system.

New technologies will cause a series of changes, such as iron ore must be smelted uniformly, and no longer be able to move small furnaces everywhere like in the past, and it is impossible to make blast furnaces for private costs, and also to prepare and use gunpowder.

Whether it was the "quota system" of the Song Dynasty at this time or the 28-point system later, it was not very suitable.

The monarch and ministers are still considering what kind of system to use, and it depends on it. If Song Jiu can really get out good steel and iron, the system must be completely reformed.

Therefore, the coal mines in Xuzhou are still exploring.

Some coal in Shandong, Hebei is mostly in mountainous areas and cannot be transported out. Song Jiu can only continue to use charcoal to keep warm this winter.

Several trucks of charcoal were transported, and Song Jiu called the students to come and moved the charcoal to the utility room.

A yamen runner came in and said that Zhao Kuangyi called him to Kaifeng Prefecture.

When Song Jiu came to Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhao Kuangyi met him in the side hall. He first asked: "How can you make money in Hezhou?"

The paintings were posted one by one, on the other side of the Imperial Street. This incident caused a sensation in the capital, even more sensation than Fan Zhi's death. Fan Zhi died, Zhao Kuangyin lamented that he recorded his son, but once he died, there would be a series of political reshuffles behind him, which is something that cannot be seen on the surface. The first three are paintings of the academy, and three more are the academy, which means one is the dock and the other is the academy. This is to do things for the court, so as not to make some poor scholars unhappy and cause trouble for themselves.

There is still a long-range picture and two close-up picture, but unlike the private bookstore in Hezhong, it is formal education. Class 6 in Grade 1, and each class must not exceed 50 people. Now there are 67 people in Class 1, which is too crowded. Class 2, Class 5 in Grade 3, Class 4 in Grade 3. Considering that some students can't wait for three years, graduation certificates and graduation certificates will be issued once a year, only the first grade graduates will be marked, and there are two more classes, one is the bachelor's class and the other is the master's class. The former is two classes, and the latter has only one class, which is a place to train real scholars. Four floors, seven houses on each floor, and the rest of the houses are regarded as information rooms and the teacher's office.

Not only are there a teaching room, but there are also canteens, libraries, dormitories, playgrounds, courts, some rockery and scenic spots, as well as nurseries and experimental areas that cultivate students' hands-on ability. The area is not small, covering an area of ​​more than 100 acres. The environment is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and there are some weird buildings. In short, for beautification, all buildings will be a beautiful landscape, including dormitory, four beds, a writing desk, and a washing place.

After coming out, the court was worried about how to build the Imperial Academy in the future. Some people almost ignored their integrity and almost asked Song Jiu to use this academy as a sample to design it for the court.

But after this classroom came out, you could clearly see something. Glaze was indeed glazed. What a large piece of glazed glass, which actually used it as a window or a large window. How much does it cost?

Now more than 90% of the people think that Song Jiu cannot do it. If he does it, he will be squeezed out of his head because he sends his children to study in the future.

Then go east, the fourth painting is a gold shop, which only has a beautiful appearance and no interior. There was also a gold, silver and silk shop in the Song Dynasty. The transaction volume was very large. A transaction volume could reach tens of thousands of yuan, which would be even larger in the future. There could be huge transactions of hundreds of thousands of yuan or million yuan. I thought it was this, and it would be a normal idea to have the benefits of the Bian River and the wharf. That was wrong...

The fifth painting after Jinshou is a high-end commercial area, which paints many beautiful shops. There are strange stones on the ground, and the entrance is clearly marked. Those who enter must wash the mud on their shoes in the pool before entering. Jinshou is located on the riverside at the end of the commercial area. There are no specific small pictures. I think the ones sold inside are expensive goods. Going further east, next to the opera house is a gymnasium. This time I drew a small picture, which is also a strange building, with dozens of strange pillars supporting a huge ceiling. The ceiling is similar to the warehouse ceiling, but is even larger. There are five or six thousand seats below, full of people. In the middle is a group of people on the grass. The small picture shows some difficult acrobatic performances and large-scale singing and dancing performances, as well as some other sports events, archery, running, long jump and other ball games.

When we arrived here, the Hezhou was open and no longer a triangle, but an irregular quadrilateral. There was also a large open space between the dock and the southern entertainment area, an ordinary commercial area, only a painting, countless shops, and a small tiles, so that tourists could stop. The tiles were not very large, and there were fun things everywhere on the Hezhou, so they didn’t need to be that big.

The eighth painting is a square, on the north side of the academy, in the middle of a monument, with a long column-shaped eagle erected on it, with three big characters on the monument: Happy Island, and a square for feeding pigeons, as well as a small garden with some other animals, which are not very big, followed by many flowers, plants and trees. Happy Island may not be, but gold caves are inevitable.

The ninth painting is a long-range picture of the high-end residential area with a large area, nearly one million square meters, and a small picture next to it, a schematic diagram of the sewage discharge project of the entire river, daily wastewater is discharged to the Bian River, or taken away by a car, and some toiletries use the terrain to build pipes under the river, and discharged to the south bank of the South Bian River to serve the people as fertilizer for crops. The tenth painting is a large picture with each small picture, with four types of buildings, one part of land, two part of land, five part of land and one acre of land. No matter the size, there are small gardens. The entire residential area is cut by the Bian River, surrounded by ditches, and lotus flowers and some beautiful waterscape plants, as well as some public facilities and activity places. Not only is the house beautiful, but the scenery is more beautiful. The large picture is a bird's-eye view of the entire river.

If the Riverzhou is really turned into this way, it would be almost like a fairyland on earth, and the imperial palace would not work. Can you have so much food, drink, and have fun? I wonder if it can be built. If so, some rich people want to buy one or two houses.

But everyone knows that once this house is built, it will be very expensive, too expensive.

However, some people know more clearly that no matter how Song Jiu sold it, he would not make much money by relying on a house. It’s nothing more. The base cost is too high. The luxury houses of a mu of land in the capital are only one or two thousand guan. However, Song Jiu only gave the money to the court, and the amount of money to one a mu of land is one thousand guan. And what are the construction materials?

Then rely on selling tickets? Or do business directly?

Not to mention the cost, just over four million guan is like a mountain pressing down. Zhao Kuangyi can understand why Song Jiu said that he had to dredge the Bian River twice and get mud! Many places in Hezhou are too low, but the mud from dredging the Bian River is transported to Hezhou. Hezhou is small, not big, so he can support the height, and there is no need to be afraid of floods in the Bian River. However, where can this money be made?

Song Jiu laughed and said, "Two Kings, you have seen those twenty pictures too, such as the gymnasium, which sells tickets, but the entertainment venues of our dynasty generally do not charge fees. If you charge too much, it will cause people to be disgusted by the people. The literati and doctors are upset. It will only charge a few tickets from ten to one hundred yuan depending on the location, mainly ten yuan. The gymnasium needs to be repaired, and there are also the salary of servants and the rewards of contestants. This ticket is not enough."

Zhao Kuangyi nodded, and he really thought of some of them.

What can really make money is probably the main store and amusement park, the shops are either rented, the rent is worth, or the business is run by yourself, and it may not necessarily make money, and the cost is greater, so I am confused.

"The two kings, but what if they open gambling?"

“What betting?”

"It means to use the participating team to win and lose, attracting the people to bet."

"Sweetheartedly swept the floor!"

"The two kings, what is a gentle sweeping floor? It is just a way of management. Without it, the people still play gambling in a variety of ways. They are just people like Dr. Yan and Dr. Zhang, who occasionally make two small bets and bet on a few small money. It is just that it commercializes gambling and will be converted into taxes for the court in the future."

Song Jiu threw it out and spread it out. Knowing that it would make money, some people would invest and invest. With money, they slowly built one building after another, and the house could be sold, and the capital would come. Anyway, there is no hurry, and ten years is enough to complete the construction of Hezhou. There is another background, that is, the ministers of the Song Dynasty do business and gamble. Although the court has banned it, it doesn’t work. The court ordered a ban on gambling. Prime Minister Zhang Dexiang was gambling with Yang Yi and Li Zongyan, and lost 300,000 in one night. The next day, he won a dowry, and lost again on the third night. The biggest gamble was that Zhao Dan and Zhao Xu bet on a ball. Zhao Dan lost, and continued to implement the new law. Zhao Dan won, and stopped reforming. As a result, Zhao Dan lost, and continued to reform. It was impossible to ban it.

The commercial district that Song Jiu mentioned was an excuse for paying taxes, but in fact it was open and legalized. Anyway, it was impossible to ban it. It would be better to ease it. Make money by yourself and the court also gets money. There has not been a ban on gambling yet.

Zhao Kuangyi felt very uneasy and walked around.

Song Jiu said: "The Two Kings, is it better to control water diversion or block it? I am just a humble minister. I am exhausted during this period. I have made a small fortune for myself, but I am more likely to benefit the court. If I want to be the Minister of Suzuki Fan, I will be reluctant to do so."

This is the key. If Song Jiu has no motivation at all, how could he work so hard?

Zhao Kuangyi laughed in silence and said, "I heard that the matters over there have been almost the same research?"

"It's almost the same."

"I have found the experimental site. It is only twenty miles from Dongshuimen in the northwest of Chenliu County. When will you pass by?"

"Let me go over, the court must prepare some supplies," Song Jiu asked for a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a series of supplies and quantities, and then said: "In addition, I will give me a few days to prepare. This will take a long time to go there. I must prepare some textbooks for students to learn by themselves."

"Learn to ride a horse. It's not far away. There is an official road. The rider will be very fast."

"Even if I ride a horse, I will learn for a few days, otherwise I won't be able to ride it."

"Okay, I'll give you a few days, but it's important, so it's not a joke," Zhao Kuangyi looked at the list again and frowned. Some of the supplies on it would cost a lot of money.
