The eldest princess must have gone to Zhao Kuangyin to make trouble and did not get any benefits. This is what Song Jiu had expected. Some things can be seen. It is Zhao Kuangyin's own sister. It seems very good. In fact, I carefully analyze the treatment Zhao Kuangyin gave her, and the treatment given to the Gao family is not too generous.

It would be strange if she could get this justice back.

So she went to her younger brother to make trouble again. Zhao Kuangyi probably made her unable to make trouble and called herself to ask. Song Jiu was not worried. This was a serious matter. He happened to have a new idea yesterday. I wonder if Zhao Kuangyi would agree. So he took two paintings to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Zhao Kuangyi was not guilty either. This was a matter of reason and was unreasonable. But before he could say anything, he asked Song Jiu to sit down and said, "Song Jiu, you once said that the Tang Dynasty's Modao was forged by the 100-fold method."

"I've said that, and it's recorded in history."

"But the Ministry of Works sent someone to test it, and the effect after forging was not so significant."

Sharp is not enough, it must be very sharp. Only in this way can a person with great strength go down, splitting the man and the horse in half, including the armor on the man's body. Song Jiu bent down and rejoice.

"why are you laughing?"

"How to try it? The second king is a metaphor for me. Modao technology is not only about making steel with one fold, but also a problem, that is, alloy. In ancient times, there were six qi and six ounces of copper and one minute of tin, so the ritual vessels made were bright and the weapons were sharp. The name of Modao in the Tang Dynasty was Baifen, but it was impossible to achieve a hundred fold. This would increase the cost. Although Modao had few weapons, only a few thousand people, and with the Mingguang Armor, the financial resources of the Tang Dynasty could not be paid at all."

Zhao Kuangyi's first test, after testing, one hundred kilograms of steel, it was still a new type of steel transported from the steel supervisor. After a hundred discount, only seven or eight kilograms of steel remained. If the huge labor is added, a Modao cost at least more than seventy jin, and a kilogram cost 2,000 jin. If a little waste is 3,000 jin! This fee alone cannot be promoted. Unless only one thousand Modao Hands are built, what role can a thousand people play on the battlefield? That is not used to deal with the Southern Tang soldiers, but the more powerful Khitan soldiers!

"The two kings, there is another problem involved. Alloy. Weichen thought that the Tang Dynasty must have added some other metals to it, and then forged it forged a few dozen times, and the name became a hundred and a hundred. Unfortunately, after the Anshi Rebellion, this technology was lost, and there was no record of the Tang army using the Modao. The same thing was lost. The three-edged arrows of the Qin people were also lost. Although it is imitated, it does not have the power of the three-edged arrows of the Qin soldiers. However, Weichen thought that weapons on the battlefield were secondary, and important. The quality of the army, the command ability of the generals, and the determination of the court. Wei and Huo were scattered across the northern part of the desert, using the Central Plains soldiers. Li Jing defeated more than 100,000 Turkic soldiers in three thousand, and used the Central Plains soldiers. At that time, there were no strange knives or triangular arrows. The Khitans ate meat and had a stronger physique, but there were also warriors in the Central Plains. They won by their physique and riding skills, and the Central Plains won by the civilized economic population. Compared with the two, the Central Plains was the upper hand, mainly because they could not pass this level psychologically."

When Song Jiu came to the Song Dynasty, martial arts masters could not see it, but because the people were all heavy and some were really strong, this reminded him of visiting the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in his previous life. The spear unearthed in the Qin Dynasty was seven meters long, and the ancient Greek mountain Lishan army also had spears of seven meters long. The tour guide said that it was difficult to get a spear for such a long time, let alone the assassination of Doctor Liberty, there must be some arrangements. In fact, it is really nonsense. In this era, some people could do it, including the Modao of the Tang Dynasty, the heavy armor of the Song Dynasty, the full body of armor and weapons of sixty or seventy Song jin. The Song soldiers put it on and took it and ran away and beat it.

In other words, the soldiers are not weaker than the Khitans in terms of physical strength. Song Jiuzhen has never seen what the Khitans look like, but I believe they cannot be all Bruce Lee, that's great!

"alloy?"

"The two kings, the court should be interested. The ministers can take time to start researching, but the court cannot hold too much hope and will spend a lot of research funds. When the money is used up, the ministers have not studied it. Please do not blame the ministers."

Zhao Kuangyi laughed.

It wouldn't be really allowed to ask Song Jiu to study Mo Dao, but Song Jiu said that the court also had this idea. After trying it, Zhao Kuangyi asked by the way. Then he said the serious matter and said, "Song Jiu, you are so brave, you actually dare to bully the emperor sister."

Song Jiu didn't take it seriously at all. He said slowly, "The terrain outside Dongshuimen is very important, but not only the terrain. The reason why I made a bet with Your Majesty has many meanings. First, the Weishu is sure to do it. In fact, there were various tall buildings in the West. Where did the people built a garden in the air, and then to guide navigation, they built a lighthouse of more than 400 feet, which was half higher than the Mingtang in Wuzhou in Luoyang. Doing business may not be the director of the Weishu, but the Wuge Academy is the director of the Weishu. Just like Bashu governed by Lu Xianggong, it will be restored in a few years. What if General Wang continues to be governed by General Wang? Therefore, the Weishu will not let go of the management power, nor will it be given to any yamen, so as to avoid some conflicts."

"But the emperor sister is the eldest princess."

"The eldest princess is not good either, either the two kings or His Majesty are not good, unless they are suspended at the beginning. I will only say two meanings. The first is the taxation of our dynasty. In fact, our dynasty's income is no less than that of the time of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, our dynasty's dynasty's households were 9 million households, and our dynasty removed Bashu and Jinghu, and there were only one million households. Why did the people have no pressure? First, they were specialized. Although specialized led to the rise in the price of tea, wine and salt, it was just a burden to the whole people, and even the prime minister had to bear it, which was equivalent to sharing the pressure of the poor people. Second, they focused on business and collected commercial tax. The commercial tax in the Tang Dynasty was almost blank, but there was, but the court got very little. Third, they were all.

The country levies taxes, not like the Tang Dynasty, only taxes for the poor. As a result, the country's income increased, but the people did not complain. This is now, and Anshi and the Five Dynasties destroyed all the wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty. But what about the future? Many officials and powerful people were doing business, and how much tax did they pay? For a long time, the people increased, the arable land increased, but all walks of life were monopolized by the powerful, and they did not pay taxes. The people and territory increased, officials must increase, and soldiers must increase, and the expenditure must increase. If the taxes were not paid below, they had to put pressure on the common people again. The situation in the late Tang Dynasty will be staged again."

"Some officials are not very elephant."

Song Jiu knew it in his mind. From this year on, especially Lu Yuqing, Wang Ren and Zhao Pu took over the power, and some conflicts began to arise between the two.

"The Second King, I'll show you another picture," Song Jiu opened the Jinshou picture and said, "The Second King, look at it again."

"What's the secret?" Zhao Kuangyi asked suspiciously that there are also gold, silver and silk shops in the capital. Can this shop turn silver into gold?

"The two kings, it is not the gold shops in the capital. If so, the ministers would not list them separately. Since ancient times, copper has been smelted and how much copper has been mined? Why has our dynasty been short of money, including the Southern Tang Dynasty. Some of them are transformed into utensils and rust, some are buried underground as burial objects, and some are buried on the ground in order to prevent stealing and burial, and then there is an accident. They will never come out. But where are they placed if they are not placed underground? Ultimate loans are black money, and they must have the ability to put them. There are also fees to put them in. If you don't use them in a few decades, it will be better to calculate seven or eight, and it will be good to get one tenth of them back. Its appearance is to solve this problem for the court."

"Tell me, look."

"This can only be regarded as a thought of the minister. If it is not mature, it is useless to say it. It is just that the initiative must be handed over to the court and jointly operated. But it cannot be given to the court. The officials are unscrupulous, corrupt, unable to operate, or fish and meat, which will cause many troubles. The government operates by private people, is flexible and mobile, and improves efficiency. The court supervises the court and does not dare to fish and meat. Enter privately, which not only benefits the people, but also benefits the country, and solves the problem of some money shortage. Accelerate the circulation of commercial goods. The ministers talk about business again. Since ancient times, they are afraid of business as tigers. Some merchants are not very good. However, the developed business can make the local economy active and feed more people. Another function is communication. By the merchants involved, advanced production methods and civilizations can quickly enter backward areas and develop the whole country."

"Okay, don't talk about the big truth, just talk about this gold shop."

"Two Kings, come here."

"You," Zhao Kuang was so angry that he wanted to kick Song Jiu again, but finally held his ear over. Song Jiu whispered that this could not make you feel happy, it involves a lot, and you must be mentally prepared from now on.

"Is it OK?"

"Okay, but I can't cause too much trouble. I have to think more carefully. Now, the national iron, gold, silver, copper, lead and tin are less than 10 million kilograms in a year. If the business is well done, this shop alone can offset all the country's mine income."

"It's very troublesome, but this is a good idea," Zhao Kuangyi thought about it more and more wonderful. He suddenly said: "I know, the Tang Dynasty also managed Feiqian. But this idea is not yours."

"It's similar to that nature. Now that the country is just starting to establish, not many powerful people have been involved in usury loans. Most of them are the original wealthy businessmen, and the contradictions are not too prominent."

"Let me take a look," Zhao Kuangyi looked at the picture carefully again. What could he see, but Song Jiu also brought a picture. Zhao Kuangyi also opened it. After looking at it, he asked strangely: "What are you bringing this Hongqiao Picture?"

"The bridge is about to start construction. Weichen went down to see the steel supervisor. Yesterday, he took the students to measure the budget materials and suddenly had an idea. However, the budget will inevitably increase. I wonder if the court will agree."

"What's the idea?"

"I'll draw it for the second king."

Song Jiu began to draw pictures with his pen. He was not a painter, so he could only draw a sketch based on the original picture. Shuanghong Bridge moved backwards, and chose a narrow place. It doesn't matter. If it was really wide, you could build a dam and narrow the distance between the bridge holes. In the future, if it was rainbow bridge on the Bian River, you would probably use this method, otherwise it would be impossible to build a bridge with a span of several hundred meters. It would be too wasteful to build it. This is not moving, but the road between the two rainbow bridges was originally a road on the river, but now there have been changes. All sixty meter roads were built, and ten bridge piers were supported. The Hongqiao divided into four guide bridges to connect the river and the bridge deck. The small rainbow bridge did not change much, and it was not the main channel.

What changes is the Dahong Bridge, two tall piers are erected on one side, and then twelve thick steel bars are extended, four pulling the ground on both sides, four grabbing the bridge opposite, four grabbing the bridge in the middle, that is, the simple wire drawing bridge plus the rainbow bridge. It cannot be regarded as a real wire drawing bridge, and it plays a part of the wire drawing. The theme of the bridge is still mainly concrete steel bars, supplemented by stone, but the quality is wood, which reduces the weight of the bridge body. There is also an advantage now. There will be no truck weighing dozens of tons, and the maximum weight will be only about one thousand kilograms. The quality requirements for the bridge will not be as high as in later generations, and there will be no single cable weighing 110 tons.

In this way, the height of the bridge can be increased by several meters. There are eight big characters on the two piers outside: Beijing has been prosperous for a long time, Zhao Song Yongchang, and a golden dragon is shaped on the side of the bridge.

This will be ten times more beautiful than the original Shuanghong Bridge. When it comes to Shaodahong Bridge, it will really become a flying bridge. If the water level is low, it will be more than ten meters away from the water surface.
