Song Jiu’s three brother-in-laws and fifth brother-in-law were in the inner city. Because they were far away, they were in charge of a small inn. At this time, the Song Dynasty was not very peaceful and the business was not good. They had to be careful in their business, and they didn’t dare to hire many friends. They did everything by themselves like the eldest sister. They were busy and had fewer contacts. The eldest brother-in-law could not say that they were too evil. The eldest sister had a lot of subsidies. The former Song Jiu benefited from it and then she had some expression.

Song Jiu can understand and consciously, but understanding is no matter how much you understand, it is unlikely to open your heart. Therefore, it is still the seventh brother-in-law who is really close.

However, this time Song Jiu did not make a statement. Yu Ping gradually won the heart of her elder sister and the hearts of her seventh sister. Maybe some small tricks were used in the middle, but when we get along for a long time, the means were secondary and we had to give our hearts. In fact, Song Jiu also thought Yu Ping was really good. His work nature was just an artist in his previous life, an artist in his previous life. How many people could he roll in the fun and keep their innocence? His personality was extremely gentle, and sometimes he didn't look at his appearance. This gentle personality made Song Jiu a little moved.

But at this moment, a bright and charming figure appeared in his mind. He scratched his head and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll talk about it later."

"I'm not young anymore."

Zhu San also has this problem. He wants to take the imperial examination. Lu Duosun, the Quanzhi Gong Gong Gong Gong Gong, only selected seven Jinshi, hundreds of students, and only seven people. It is not a famous system. It depends on the relative family. Where did Zhu San win? Fortunately, Song Jiu is in the south, otherwise it would be even more miserable to go to the imperial examination this year.

The marriage he had made was even more unanswered, and the woman kept urging him. In fact, Zhu San's age is not considered old, and his fiancée cannot be considered old. However, this is an era of early marriage. Men are a little better. They will be crowned at the age of twenty and women will be formally married at the age of fifteen. They can get married and get married. They can wait until they are over twenties before getting married. Song Jiu said helplessly: "Brother-in-law, this period is too busy. Let's talk about it after they are finished."

If my brother-in-law is not good, please persuade me again.

I am really busy, I don’t know how many things I have to wait for Song Jiu to do. After washing his feet, I don’t think about anything. I come back in a hurry. I am so tired that I lie down and go to bed. The main thing is that he needs everything. If five or six years, his twenty or so students will grow up, they will be better.

I have to teach the next day.

I couldn't let go of this. I looked at it yesterday and knew the progress of each student. Song Jiu was probably sure. He started to talk, and he said less, and most of them asked the students to ask questions. This is the most advanced part of Song Jiu's education. Edison did not meet Song Jiu, otherwise he would not drop out of school. After Song Jiu left, the students also communicated with each other, and the students did not understand the key points, including outstanding students, which could not explain their doubts one by one, resulting in serious different progress. By asking questions, they explained the doubts in their hearts one by one, forcing the students to make progress up.

At noon, the twenty-one students were called back, drawing pictures and explaining the experiment, and the experiment must be done continuously. There are some minor dangers in the process and must be explained one by one. Then they were told to take the time to calculate the accounts on Hezhou and the accounts of Ping An Club of my elder sister. After he came back, he would make up for the money one by one.

Then he rode a horse to the steel supervisor.

The first is the steel supervisor, the steel production and quality, and the raw materials of Song's cement must be obtained from this steel supervisor.

It is still being debugged, and even stopped the blast furnace in the middle to renovate the internal facilities. This is not the whimsical officials, they don’t have the courage. The iron smelting output of a blast furnace is almost 70% or 80% of the original iron smelting in the Song Dynasty. Who dares to make the decision? It was Song Jiu ordered that it would not be safe when the furnace was built, and there should be some arrangements inside. This is not a modern blast furnace, but only a blast furnace in the 17th century Europe, with at most a reinforced concrete reinforcement, so he painted

After some drawings, what would happen if there were shortcomings? Song Jiu returned to the capital. The blast furnace was debugging, and there were indeed many shortcomings. The officials discussed that Song Jiu had left the capital at that time. It happened that the door was sealed with heavy snow, and the iron ore could not keep up. Zhao Pu could not be able to transport it even if he had the ability. The craftsmen slowly reduced the fire as Song Jiu ordered, and gradually put the fire down smaller and smaller. It took several days to slowly extinguish the fire. Then, after discussion, compared with the instructions and drawings left by Song Jiu, a transformation was carried out.

But these officials were all worried. Song Jiu came and immediately surrounded Song Jiu, reacted to the situation one by one, and asked if the transformation was correct. Song Jiu also listened carefully and thought carefully. The actual principle was a reaction process and a warm-up process, but it would be very complicated to implement it. Song Jiu could not say whether it was correct or not. He only asked about the effect after the transformation.

The official said it was a little better than before, and Song Jiu said: "It's fine. You should master these knowledge. You can't ask me. What if something happens to me, will the Song Dynasty not smelter any iron?"

"Jiulang, joke, joke, joke," said a minor official, and he said to himself, you are only twenty years old and you don't go to the front line to fight. If anything happens, you can live in fifty or sixty years old even if you have a short life.

In addition, the amount of iron ore mined in various places.

The officials of the Steel Supervision Bureau don’t know how many, but one thing is that the ore transferred from the court from Hebei is gradually reduced, mostly from Shandong and Xuzhou. There is a problem of travel expenses. It turns out that the Song Dynasty smelted iron on site, and the weight of iron ore far exceeds the weight of iron, even the thick iron produced. From the map, it seems that Cizhou is closer than Xuzhou, but it has to be transported step by step from the mountainous area to the Zhang River, then from the Zhang River to the Yongji Canal, from the Yongji Canal, then from the Yongji Canal to the Yellow River to the Sanhui Canal, which was dug to the east of the capital last year. It seems close, but this freight is higher than the freight from Hangzhou to the capital. Or by land, you don’t have to think about it. Use a small car to pull it to the capital city, which will be an astronomical freight.

However, in general, the quality of the iron produced by the first blast furnace is good, the second is more iron produced and less waste, which will make up for the freight loss. However, if there is iron in Xuzhou, should we transport iron ore from Xuzhou or from Cizhou?

This is what the officials say.

But Song Jiu joined Sansi last year and learned more inside information, which shows the effect of gunpowder. Whether it is Shandong or Xuzhou iron ore, if there is no gunpowder, the output will be very small, including more remote places in Shandong, Laizhou and Dengzhou. The amount of iron in a year is less than one million kilograms. It is precisely with gunpowder that the iron ore can be dug deep and fine, so gradually get rid of Hebei iron.

It cannot be said that the Sanhui Canal was dug in vain. As long as there is a canal, it will have positive significance in this era when the people are allowed. So Song Jiu asked about the iron pit again. The officials in the steel prison were not very clear. They only heard that something happened in one iron pit and several prisoners died. The emperor was furious and dealt with several relevant officials. Song Jiu did not speak out after hearing this. In fact, he said it was detailed enough and listed many relevant precautions. But the above said that the following may not be implemented, and the nature is very similar to Wang Anshi's reform. In addition, corruption and the strong nature of gunpowder must happen. The court was forced to reform the iron pit system, one was to continue to use the contract system of the Song Dynasty, and the other was to restore the prison system of the Tang Dynasty. Both systems were not very suitable, especially the latter. It has nothing to do with Song Jiu. How to change it is Zhao Pu's business. The incident in Sichuan and Hunan may not be caused by Zhao Pu's conspiracy, but Zhao Pu is indeed in power now.

I asked about the amount of iron smelting, spring is in full bloom, gunpowder is used extensively, and there is no need to worry about the source of iron ore. Last year, the coke has not stopped. In addition, it is repeated debugging, and now it can smel nearly 8,000 kilograms of iron a day, and the highest one was reached more than 9,320 kilograms of iron a day.

It was this output that several prisoners died, and no official spoke.

It was better than what Song Jiu expected. Song Jiu asked for a while and went to see the steel. This kind of steel was relatively simple. Therefore, the imperial court issued an edict to expand the steel kiln, and all the iron smelted from the steel supervision was refined into steel. Four steel kilns were built and some debugging was done, but the progress was not much.

The monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty were very happy, and the officials were also happy. In fact, Song Jiu was not very happy. After it was released, it was carefully forged and was only similar to the ordinary guard Pu Dao. It was not the guard Pu Dao or steel, but it was impossible to use Baijian. It was steel, but a kind of steel with relatively poor quality.

In other words, the European steelmaking method in the 17th and 18th century was still not very advanced. However, Song Jiu had no choice. If he wanted a good steel and converter, the technological content involved was too high, and he did not have that ability. He could not do it in the Song Dynasty, so he had too many restrictions.

Then I asked about the steel output.

After asking, I thought about it carefully for a while, after dinner, I summoned the officials and said some ideas. It was not possible, so I had to continue debugging. After saying that, I rode a horse before returning to the capital. It was indeed very convenient to have a horse to ride a horse, otherwise Song Jiu would have to stay for a rest.

Even the iron man can't stand it.

When I got home, my elder sister waited for him at home, and met and said, "The money was calculated."

"How much?"

"Qin Wazi calculated that more than 900,000 yuan, more than 1,300 pieces of silk, and some other property. Qin Wazi calculated that it was more than 3,300 yuan in total." The eldest sister was very distressed after saying that, and it took her little wine shop to make a profit for how many years it took to make it back.

Cui'er said, "Jiulang, go to Kaifeng Prefecture to sue him."

"What are you asking for? Zhou Shizong could win when he was here, but he might not win at this time." Song Jiudao. Buddhism is not useless. It teaches people to go to good and get rid of evil. Song Jiu also went down to see. People in many areas have a hard life. With religion, they have a support, and at least give them the courage and confidence to live. But to be honest, Buddhism is far more harmful than its positive side. Politics has made some ministers play a harsh history, and Buddhism has made some monks play a greed history and blood-sucking history.

. Chai Rong's destruction of Buddhism was against him, but Zhao Kuangyin was different. His reputation was a bit weak and needed religion to support him. Therefore, he was not disgusted with religion after he took office, especially Taoism. He didn't know what inside information he had with Chen Tuan, or Chen Zhi said that he was the real emperor, and Zhao Kuangyin agreed with Taoism very much. Therefore, he said: "It's not a solution. Master Zhang Longer said that I had built a temple. Could it be that the temple was demolished? Instead, the people in the capital laughed at the elder sister and said that they were spending money to eliminate disasters."

"But more than three thousand guan."

"More than 30,000 guan is not enough. How much does Shi Shouxin's family spend on building a temple? Sister, forget it, there are many places to spend money in Hezhou, that will be several million guan. If you calculate carefully, you can save money."

“Hezhou has so much money…”

"Sister, I said, don't worry. The emperor is not worried. Are you worried about the family? But you know the heartache, so I won't worry." Song Jiu was telling the truth. Religious brainwashing is particularly powerful. Song Jiu is most afraid of his elder sister letting Zhang Longer brainwashing. But he thought in his heart, Zhang Longer is so arrogant. Does he really have a background? Should Zhao Kuangyi check it secretly? I wonder if there will be any taboos.

"In the afternoon, there are many yamen looking for you."

"That's for sure," Song Jiuyi smiled. He began to prepare for the bridge construction. The yamen would definitely hear it. However, Liuli gave him a headache, but he wouldn't say anything to his elder sister, and then said, "You guys talk, I'll go and rest first."

When I woke up in the morning, I would teach first. There was no need to go to the steel supervisor today. After class, Song Jiu got two accounts, but the money was not in the Song family, but the Gao family. But at this time, Zhu Yanei came one after another. Song Jiu finished teaching a class and greeted Zhu Yanei. Without seeing Gao Chugong, he said to everyone: "Let's chat later, I'll go to the Gao family first."

You have to withdraw a sum of money first.

It is difficult to enter the Pan family's door, and it is even harder to enter the Gao family's door. Song Jiu handed over a reply, and soon the servant came out and said, "Jiulang, please invite me."

He entered the corner door, which is Song Jiu's status, even if he is a founding man. In fact, this is a bit lazy. It is unlikely to open the middle door wide. At least he can open the middle door a crack. However, he is so awesome, he uses a rolling pin to chase Zhao Kuangyin's master. What can Song Jiu say?

The servants led the way in front and walked along the way. Gao's mansion was very luxurious and luxurious, which was also expected by Song Jiu. One was Zhao Kuangyin's awesome sister, two was Gao Huaide himself, three was Zhao Kuangyin's generous rewards to these military generals who had dismissed their military power. Fourth, the population of the capital was not too dense at this time, and there was enough room for them to build a mansion. They were taken to a guest room. A middle-aged lady was wearing gold and silver, which was very luxurious.

The servant said, "Jiulang, the eldest princess is invited."

Song Jiu was not here to meet the eldest princess, but she wanted to "invite", so Song Jiu had to go in and give a gift: "I pay homage to His Highness the Princess."

"You are Song Jiu?"

"I am the one who is the one who is not here."

"You are going to find me if you hand me a letter?"

"If you have something to discuss."

"I have also heard about that little sandbank. I have heard that you have gathered dozens of yamen to run it together."

"There's something like this."
