Chapter 68 The first fish to be hooked
In fact, there were some tall buildings in the Song Dynasty, and several towers reached more than 60 meters. According to legend, Wu Zetian built Mingtang in Luoyang, with a height of 300 feet. I don’t know whether it is true or false. But it is not a tower, a Mingtang, or a tall building, which makes people feel taller visually.
Some officials looked at it and felt mixed feelings, thinking, has it really been created?
Lu Yuqing asked worriedly: "Song Jiu, will it be safe?"
This person had to hold his head down to see the top, which was not very big. Lu Yuqing was very worried that it would fall down at any time, but he could not ask directly, so he could only ask the questions in his heart in a tactful way.
"Mr. Lu, it is absolutely safe and can stand for at least a hundred years. If there is any problem, I am just worried that the bricks will be cracked, and the problem is not big. You can use lime to make up. The firmness is not in the bricks. In fact, without bricks, it can stand still. The reason for using bricks is the sealing nature."
"It would be fine without bricks?"
"Mr. Lu Xianggong, without bricks, it will be stronger. It has a reinforced concrete structure. It is just a large furnace and thirty-two reinforced concrete. If there is no other reason, it can be achieved even if it stands for 500 years." Everyone obviously doesn't understand this, and Song Jiu didn't want to talk about it. He said: "Either technically you will find some minor problems one after another, but I think even if there are any problems, they will not be too big. You can improve them one after another in the future."
This is a fact.
The only things that can be changed are small places. It is estimated that within three or four hundred years, no one will dare to make major changes to this kind of iron smelting and steelmaking. Unless a miracle comes, another time traveler with better knowledge will come. But Song Jiu still has the intention to say this. With this, as long as the Song Dynasty needs steel, he will be very safe.
Zhao Pu asked: "How much iron can it smelt in a day?"
Song Jiu calculated it in his mind and replied: "Due to technical limitations, it can produce about five or six thousand kilograms, not more than ten thousand kilograms. It also has a defect. Once the furnace is turned on, it is best not to extinguish the furnace for a long time."
Song Jiu was still talking about the actual words. It is impossible to calculate accurately. It can only be calculated approximately. The blast furnace is not small, but this is still a product of backward technology. It cannot be used to blow the steam engine, can not be used to seal the top of the furnace, can not be used to add flux to the sintered raw materials, and even some imperfections in its own technology. In addition, most of the iron ore in China are poor iron ore, not rich iron ore, and the daily output will be about three tons, at most four tons. I am afraid it will not work if there are more.
But after saying that, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
The others smiled bitterly together.
Song Jiu said it right. I don’t know how much money the imperial court spent to make such a large blast furnace. The manpower was no longer cost. If it was higher, its output was pitiful. Later generations had blast furnaces with daily output of hundreds of tons or thousands of tons. What is this output?
However, the entire Song Dynasty class had an iron volume of only two million kilograms. If it was kept ineffective, at least 70% of the iron ore of the entire Song Dynasty had to be transported to smelter. Thinking of this, Song Jiu couldn't help but bend down and laughed out of his composure.
This will make the Song Dynasty monarch and ministers very troubled. The first is how to operate it, and the second is what to do with those small stoves. The real movement is a huge stake.
"Why can't the fire be turned off?" Zhao Pu asked.
"It's okay to really turn off the heat, but because you have to preheat every time the furnace is turned on, it will increase a lot of costs, and it will be extinguished frequently. The hot and cold are uneven, which will also harm the furnace body. If you want to be safe, you must keep the low-temperature and air-burning. Especially the coke oven, although it is not as tall as the blast furnace, it cannot be turned off once it starts. Otherwise, the furnace body will crack due to uneven heat and heat, and the furnace body will be severely scrapped. Moreover, because it is easy to expand when heated, it needs a furnace protection and its life is only about twenty years. The same is true for blast furnaces, which will not collapse, but after use for a long time, it will be twisted due to heat expansion and will eventually not be used. However, with a large amount of steel, the technology will be more mature in the future. Compared with the cost savings, and with a large amount of high-quality steel, the construction cost is very low and almost negligible."
Xue Juzheng said: "Song Jiu, why didn't you say it earlier?"
This is a big trouble, so you have to transport a large amount of iron ore immediately. Otherwise, it will be transported urgently, which may meet the needs of the blast furnace?
"Mr. Xue, if you have gunpowder, you are afraid that you won't get iron ore. I have taught them for a long time and it's time to make a large amount of gunpowder. The steel leap of the Song Dynasty will start from now on." Song Jiu spoke with a righteous attitude.
In fact, these three things appear, and the meaning is very significant. The people who pay attention to it do not know the truth. Song Jiu, who knows, doesn’t think about that at all. He only thinks that once the construction starts, he can get a lot of barely qualified steel in the future.
"Boy, then you should say it earlier," Li Chongju shouted. The prime ministers were better. A few kids cheat me, aren't you?
"Li Sizhi, look at me, I'm so busy, so I have so much thoughts?"
I really can't blame Song Jiu. He is really busy. He has been busy all over the past six months. After reading it, the monarch and his ministers hurried back. There are many things to do. First, they made gunpowder on a large scale. Not only did they transfer some officials and craftsmen who had studied glass, but they also transferred the students who were studying glass to gunpowder.
Stop making glass, the country's affairs are important.
The manpower is tight, not only do you have to make gunpowder, but you also have to go to various mines to provide guidance. Only these forty people understand, but others don’t understand. What if something happens?
Then the quota system was improved, and most pit mines were recovered, mainly iron ore and carbonite mines, which were run by the government, and then criminals were dispatched to be miners. This was definitely not possible to restore the system of the Tang Dynasty. The first one would be inhumane, and the second one would intervene, and corruption would inevitably happen again and again as soon as the official intervened. The system would have to be changed, but time was tight, so we had to replace it with this backward system.
Secondly, a large number of carboniferous and iron ore were immediately transferred to Xinsteel Supervision.
From Dongfu to Sansi, I was so busy that I was very busy.
Song Jiu was also busy. In fact, its output was very pitiful, with an annual output of less than 1,000 tons. Although this was almost 80% or 90% of the iron production of the Song Dynasty. The number was indeed pitifully small, and a big river ship loaded all the iron production per year.
But although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. From coking to iron smelting to steelmaking, this is a one-stop production. There must be many supporting facilities, which are still inseparable from Guidance Song Jiu.
However, the number of tourists visiting has also increased.
It's so high, let's come to see the strange things together, and it's not far from the capital. If you get up earlier and walk over to see it, it's not dark yet when you go home, and it's just a day slow. So many people come to see the excitement. Smart people think of one thing.
Song Jiu's houses look weird, and many people think that it is difficult to build, and it is also glass. Glass seems to be under development. Now that this extra-large chimney is built, will those houses still become problems?
Houses are not a problem, and there will be unlimited business opportunities in that river bank. Moreover, not many people know the content of the bet, and they dare not talk nonsense. They don’t know that there is another four million behind it. This makes people think randomly.
But the first fish that took the bait was unexpected, and it was not the group of second-generation ancestors who often hang out with him, but the three yamen who had never dealt with him.
They may not be very famous, but their father is very famous. Two are Shi Shouxin's sons, Shi Baozheng, and his ten-year-old second brother Shi Baoji, who came to play with him. The other is Gao Chugong, the son of Zhao Kuangyin's brother-in-law Gao Huaide.
Song Jiu was not a young brother who had just come to the Song Dynasty, and he often heard some yamen talking about the situation of generals in the army. Therefore, he knew that the Gao family in the Romance of the Romance of his memory was wrong. Gao Huaide's descendants were likely to be unknown. However, another general in the army, Gao Qiong, began to stand out, one was from Changshan and the other was from Mengcheng, not a family. In the future, the famous Gao family was probably the Gao Qiong lineage. Song Jiu didn't know the specific one.
According to rumors, three years ago, Zhao Kuangyin used Zhao Pu's plan to summon generals such as Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, Wang Shenqi, Zhang Lingduo, etc., and released his military power with a cup of wine, dismissed his military position, and took the position of Jiedu from afar. Song Jiu vaguely felt that it was not the same thing, nor was it that simple.
But the military power of nearly ten generals was indeed released three years ago.
Zhao Kuangyin was kind to them and rewarded them heavily, and also appointed them as descendants. For example, Shi Baozheng, who was appointed as the sacrificial officials at the age of fourteen, was promoted to the deputy envoy of Shang Food in the second year, and was granted by Chai Rong, and had nothing to do with Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin gave up Shi Shouxin's military power and summoned the children of meritorious officials to inquire about current affairs. Baozheng was the least in response. He was surprised and was appointed as the envoy of the capital. In fact, he gave Shi Shouxin face.
After releasing military power and giving it wealth, these generals began to make a fortune. Shi Shouxin accumulated huge wealth in just a few years. According to Fu Zhaoshou's evaluation of his family's wealth, he couldn't figure out how much money he had. So he built a luxurious Chongde Temple in Luoyang. However, the housekeeper did not do a good job. He used his master's prestige to recruit people to carve tiles and wood, and drove them out in a hurry, and did not give or deduct wages. The people were not convinced, so they went to Luoyang Prefecture and the court did not ask.
The Gao family is not short of money. Gao Kuong is the child of Gao Huaide's ex-wife. She died early. Zhao Kuangyin's two sisters, the eldest sister, also died early. The younger sister married Mifude, but unfortunately her husband died. Zhao Kuangyin thought of his good brothers and made do with them and let them get married. But we must not ignore Zhao Kuangyin, the young sister, who was a fierce girl who used a rolling pin to chase Zhao Kuangyin. After she got married, can the Gao family still use money to use it?
Moreover, the two families have a good news and cannot think too much about power, so they have to think about money. So there are three people and one team.
However, there is still a story behind the scenes, which Song Jiu could not think of.
The servant took Shi Baoji to play, Shi Baozheng, Gao Kugong and Song Jiu sat down to chat.
After chatting for a while, Shi Bao was taking the initiative to lead the river to the river and asked, "Jiulang, does it cost a lot of money to build that river to the river?"
"yes."
"I don't know..."
"I will raise some shares of the contract." Song Jiu said straight to the point.
“How to recruit?”
"If you have money, you can join, no matter how you have family background."
Shi Baozheng walked a few steps and asked, "I wonder if I might invest in a share?"
"Yes, but I declare first. My contract shares are 6 million yuan. I wonder how much money can Dalang pay?"
"What are six million treasures!" Shi Baozheng was anxious. Isn't this nonsense? There is no family in the entire capital that can afford six million treasures.
"I don't believe it, you can ask your father to ask His Majesty and the two kings, one is the money of the court, and the other is the investment of technology. I said that six million scattered pieces is less," Song Jiu said. Six million scattered pieces can also be said. If it comes to technology, six million scattered pieces are not much. If it comes to the tax he owes too much, it is a drag, which is more than four million scattered pieces. However, the depreciation and interest are ignored. Based on the annual interest of 10% per year, in fact, you only need to pay more than four hundred thousand scattered pieces at this time. Even if you don't include profits, it can only be considered more than six hundred thousand scattered pieces. That is, if you have a low interest rate of 100,000 scattered pieces in the future, you can pay more than four million scattered pieces in the future. If you don't get out, you only need to pay more than six hundred thousand scattered pieces.
However, this algorithm is more irrelevant, and only Song Jiu can calculate it like this, and ordinary people can't get around it at all.
"Court money?"
"Yes, unlike the Cong Stocks, as long as I invest, I will wait for dividends in the future. I will have to repay the debts of the court every year. In addition, it has been developed for ten years. What is really not profitable is the bridge, academies and docks. The money is paid by the court, and the others will make profits. Even if it was a hundred pieces of money before, the annual dividends would be paid in the end. However, because my Cong Stocks are complicated, they will not follow them. The sooner they invest, the more cost-effective it will be."
"Will the court lend you money..." Gao Cugong asked, except for the court, would that family borrow so much money to Song Jiu?
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Let's talk about one thing. It only has a fifty-year period. Except for those houses that are permanently sold to the people, they will be handed over to the court in fifty years."
"Fifty years."
"Shi Dalang, I've been secretly happy for fifty years. I thought it was only thirty or forty years."
"How do you say this?"
"I only talk about three examples. The first thing is gambling. There are a few households in Beijing who don't gamble. A large family is not much. A commoner also has a few gigabytes of money. There are so many households in Beijing and many foreign merchants. How big is this number? You are all well-informed. One of my gymnasiums opened. How much will it be in a year? I will talk about the main store, that kind of environment, that kind of buildings, and that kind of facilities, not only beautiful.
Food, there will be fine wine in the future, how much money can you make in a year? Let me talk about glazing, you have also seen a piece of glazing. How much can it cost if it is more refined? And what I have studied will be better and larger. How much can it bring in a year? And more, that gold shop is a gold-selling cave, which is still early. I will join forces with the court in the future, otherwise the ministers in the court will tear me up because of their jealousy. Besides, I will charge five hundred or one thousand guan per person, which is reasonable."
The two choked to death, Gao Chugong said, "Is it reasonable to be so expensive?"
"This family can go to heaven and jump down from heaven. I can collect two thousand guan. If you fall in love, you will get it. If you don't, someone will get it."
"That can really go to heaven?"
"You will see it in twenty days. In short, if it is implemented, the money earned in a year will be piled up into mountains of gold and silver. Not only for fifty years, I am afraid that I will automatically pay more money from the court in thirty years, otherwise I will not be able to save it. Moreover, you have heard that the amount of money is very large, but I don't know that the word "get out" is one, next year is two, next year is four, next year is eight, then sixteen, thirty-two, ten years is one, two, ten years is one, two, ten years is one, two, ten years is one, and ten years is one, hundreds of thousands of principal will be paid. It will not be your family and two, and there will be countless companies in the future to buy stocks. My share contract will be gradually diluted, and in the end, even 10% will be insufficient. I will have to pay back the huge debts of the court, which is not overdue?"
In this way, it is reasonable for Song Jiu to have six million stocks.
In fact, it was right to roll in the middle. The key was to roll to the end. There was no need for so much capital? They were all second-generation ancestors. Who was afraid of whom? Song Jiu's shares must be diluted, and it could not be diluted to ten percent, but these are all mathematical problems that surround people. Perhaps Song Jiu's large-scale education will not be circulated in ten years. It is not possible now, and few people can completely figure it out.
Shi Baozheng and Gao Kugong looked at each other. It was not uncommon for them to take out 10,000 or 20,000 or 20,000 or 10,000 yuan. If it was as Song Jiu said, it would be worth it in ten years. Although it was not as much as Song Jiu's shares, one needed to repay the debts of the court, and the other did not need to repay. The nature was different. Moreover, those strange names were inseparable from Song Jiu. They were not able to do anything to have power, and they did not have the ability to transform them.
Shi Baomasato stood up and said, "I'm disturbing Kyuro."
