Song Beiyun

When Xiao Song woke up, Zhao Xing was still working, and there was an empty bowl beside him. It was already dark outside, and he must have slept for a while.

"How long have I slept?"

"Three hours." Zhao Xing replied coldly: "Come here to snore, do you think you are not disgusting enough for me?"

"That's not what you said, the officials. I'm here to add some yang energy to your place..." Song Beiyun glanced past the old eunuch next to him: "The yin energy is heavy."

Both Zhao and Lao Wang rolled their eyes, but they heard Song Beiyun continue: "Officials, Yelufo Baonu is wooing me."

"Then you go." Zhao Xing snorted coldly: "Why tell me?"

"Didn't I refuse? Why are you doing this? I didn't coax Jin Ling'er as hard as coaxing you." Song Beiyun rubbed his eyes: "He told me that if I agreed to go to the Liao Kingdom, he would give me a different surname after he ascended the throne. Lord."

"Grandpa promised you my sister." Zhao Xing patted the table: "What do you expect? Is this the throne? Come, come, come and sit!"

"Did you take gunpowder?" Song Beiyun looked at Zhao Xing in surprise, "Why are you so angry?"

"Okay, you can teach me how to be less angry, but why don't you come out!"

Chapter 366: Looking at Jia Wenhe again in the rain on July 7 of the second year, I only feel flat

"Pry my courtiers in my royal capital? There is such a reason in the world? How can the Liao Kingdom deceive people too much!"

Zhao Xing was flushed with anger, if it wasn't for his status, he would be able to pick up the guy and go to Honglu Temple to face Buddha Baonu.

This is Zhao Kuangyin's lineage, Song Beiyun has understood these days, men of this lineage usually have a good temper, but if something happens, it is easy to hit Taizu's long fist.

Zhao Xing was obviously no exception, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and the pen in his hand was crushed into two pieces.

"Why are you so angry? Isn't this a promise?"

"How dare you agree to give it a try!" Zhao Xing pointed at Song Beiyun, his brows furrowed, "I treat you well, if you are still ungrateful, don't blame me for severing friendship with you."

"Your speech is too harsh. I can tell you that it means I have no plans for that. Some things don't need you to threaten me and I know what to do." Song Beiyun sat on the soft floor of the study, rustling a rice bowl He ate the noodles in a stuttering voice: "I figured it out, our route was wrong at the beginning."

"What's wrong? Are you planning to give up? That's the princess!"

"Aren't you farting? When did I plan to do that?" Song Beiyun spat and continued: "I mean we are thinking in the wrong direction. I was fooled by your choice of one or the other, which made me confused. In fact, if you think about it now, it’s not that exaggerated.”

Zhao Xing didn't answer, just continued to wait for Song Beiyun to continue, but he was ready to lose his temper.

"Jin Ling'er and this child, I won't let them go if I kill them, that's for sure. As for the other things, I will think about it later. Right now, I just want to find a way to make the Liao Kingdom lose their wife and lose their army. I can't swallow this tone." go down."

"People have given you a prince with a different surname, why are you angry?"

Zhao Xing was still a little sour when he spoke, because it was impossible for his old Zhao family to say that there was a king with a different surname since he released his military power after a cup of wine. Liao Kingdom was able to make this condition to Song Beiyun. He was actually panicked. He didn't know what Song Beiyun was capable of, but he knew it.

Whether you are lucky or not is a matter of fact, Wen Zhiwu and Wu Gong are all top-notch, Wen can stabilize the country, and Wu can conquer the city. Even Zhao Xiang, a professional party and dissident, admits that Song Beiyun is a capable minister, and even lists him. On the list of prime minister candidates.

From the perspective of an emperor, even if such a person is slaughtered, he must not be allowed to go to the Liao Kingdom, otherwise it will be like sending a super gift package to the Liao Kingdom. If he loses his heels, Da Song will face an extremely difficult opponent.

Since such a godsend player appeared in Da Song, he could only stay in Da Song, and he could not go anywhere else.Zhao Xing even made up his mind that if he really wanted to leave, he would not be less than coercion and inducement, and he could even take some coercive measures if necessary.

In any case, even if this person went fishing in Qiongzhou, he would not be able to live in Jinliao.

It's not like Zhao Xiang had discussed with Zhao Xing before and try to train one or two people like Song Beiyun, but many of them were not of the same level at all, and Zhao Xiang's son-in-law Yan Shu was Song Beiyun's righteousness. As for brother Kuang Yusheng, they may all be capable ministers in the future, but they are indeed not as comprehensive as the rascal in front of them.

Yan Shu was too evasive, his mind was full of love affairs, the prosperous age was a good material to start the era of civil rule, but he was not the first choice in the troubled times.Kuang Yusheng is a mediocre talent. A mediocre person is not too outstanding in all aspects but not bad in all aspects. In addition, his personal character and temperament are all first-rate. This is a talent who can help protect the country.

But this Song Beiyun, if he was born in a prosperous age, he would be a complete lazy dog, earning a lot of money and staying at home doing nothing, eating and dying all day long.

But if this is a troubled world, he is that heroic figure, with unrivaled means of weighing pros and cons, coupled with ruthlessness and talent, in Zhao Xing's view, this person does not rebel because he is simply too lazy to toss about, if he has Kuang Yusheng With that industrious temperament, I am afraid that only Fu Wang can confront him.

But he is only twenty, and King Fu is already a very old man. After a while, when King Fu gets old, this man is afraid that he will rule the world.

"A bullshit prince with a different surname, I don't care about that thing? That guy is here to take advantage of the fire and rob me, and set the price on the ground, as if this matter can't be done without him, the prince of the Liao Kingdom. If that's the case, I will fight with him." Song Beiyun Angrily smashing the bowl on the table: "I don't believe it anymore, since he refuses to help, then I will tell him not to even ascend to the throne!"

"Okay!" Zhao Xing clapped his hands and applauded: "Well done, that's how it should be!"

"Why are you so excited?" Song Beiyun looked at Zhao Xing: "Are you planning something?"

"No, it's impossible, don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Song squinted at Zhao Xing, watching his expression change from angry and agitated to happy, this guy must have planned something ulterior before.

"Then what are your plans?"

"Let's see when the time comes, I will force her into a corner." Song Beiyun was rubbing his fists aside: "Hurry up and make arrangements for the selection of son-in-laws in the two countries. It is estimated that King Fu will come back in a few days. If you see Jin Ling'er With a big belly..."

Song Beiyun stroked his leg subconsciously: "It hurts when I think about it."

"After all, there is still someone who can hold you down." Zhao Xing secretly heaved a sigh of relief: "You tell me first, how do you plan to deal with the eldest prince of Liao Kingdom?"

"Officials, have you ever heard of sheep eating people?"

"Sheep eat people?" Zhao Xing scratched his head blankly, "I've heard of pigs eating people, but sheep eat grass."

Song Beiyun stood up with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "The eldest prince is in charge of state affairs in the Liao Kingdom, and I will make her suffer. I have nothing but money, and we will use the money to burn her to death."

"use money?"

"Officials, have you forgotten that I told you that too much money is also a disaster?"

"I said it, but how about burning it with money?"

Song Beiyun said with a smile: "Liao mutton is not bad, right? Let's start collecting mutton, increase the price, collect it desperately, and collect it at a loss."

"Oh? Then they died laughing? They flew up happily."

"I just want them to fly, so high that I don't know how many bowls of rice I can eat." Song Beiyun narrowed his eyes: "Money, to put it bluntly, I have a way to earn it back for you, you just need to tell the Ministry of Finance to get it back with you." It’s good to make a contract on the other side, don’t you like to eat roast lamb, I will let you eat enough in a few days.”

"Eating roast lamb will burn the Liao Kingdom to death?"

"That's natural. If you eat it alone, you won't be able to do it even if you eat it to death. But Da Song ate all the mutton, which is unusual. Official, let me ask you a question. If you are a businessman, What will you do if you make money?"

"Make more money."

"Merchants in the Liao Kingdom also think the same way. After making money, the merchants want to make more money when they turn around. Farmers find that farming is not as good as raising sheep. Everyone goes to raise sheep. Big merchants and big households will gradually annex small households, and the land will gradually grow. Concentrated from the hands of the people to the big landlords, the people have no land to grow, so they can only go to the landlord's house to help the workers to earn money." Song Beiyun said with a smile: "As time goes by, the helpers become slave labor. There are too many, but something will happen..."

Song Beiyun continued: "At that time, as long as I, Da Song, don't eat his sheep, he will come to the door and kneel in front of you, the official, begging for your kindness."

"If you don't eat sheep...then the sheep in Liao Kingdom won't be sold, and the land will be desolate, and the rich and powerful will... set up clever schemes to exploit the people." Zhao Xing narrowed his eyes and thought for a while: "Isn't that... a rebellion?"

"I don't know, but a large amount of land was taken by wealthy families, and a large number of people were displaced. It depends on whether the Liao Kingdom manages it, how to manage it. No matter? The country is subjugated. Manage? What should you manage? You established the country with Confucius and Mencius, and there are many wealthy families. What should I do? I can only ask Da Song."

"Then if someone uses this trick on me, Da Song..."

"This is the reason why I killed the Jin family and stripped the Xu family, and it is also the reason why I wrote a letter to discuss legislation with Ding Siqing. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. If you are not careful, you will end up with a pot of fishy soup."

Look, look, look!Zhao Xing's blood was all over the top, so he said that this person can't let him go to another country. His words were obviously simplified, and there must be many twists and turns in the way, and it's not just as simple as mutton, but if If he really said that, the Liao Kingdom will definitely be in crisis.

As for spending money to buy mutton, buy it, Song Dynasty has recovered some vitality during this time, and the tax system in kind implemented by Song Beiyun in Luzhou before has been promoted to the whole country. There are some, especially for this counter-rebellion, almost all of the military expenditures are supported by high-ranking families along the way, and the court does not have much expenditure. When the rebellion is put down...

I have to say, this Song dog is really small-minded, he just doesn't want to help him, not to mention that it is reasonable for him not to help, this Song dog is so worried about him, it's an asshole.

It seems to be the same as the extermination of the Buddha mentioned earlier, he is so sinister and vicious to the extreme.

"By the way, I pushed you to host the extermination of the Buddha that I talked about last time."

"Let Kuang Yu live. He has a delicate mind and is upright in his work. This kind of thing is much more suitable for me. I don't have time to do these things. Now I just want to quickly pull up the workshop and deal with the selection of son-in-law in the Liao and Song Dynasties. If anyone asks for money, he will do anything. Yes, as for the money confiscated from Hangzhou, I will hand over five thousand guan to you, and I will take the rest."

"Song Liao, don't put Liao in front."

"You have a lot of shit to do." Song Beiyun spat: "That's the decision, don't bother me these days."

"You are really a coward... What did you say just now? Give me five thousand guan? You raised millions of guan in there, and you give me five thousand guan? Send the beggar? Song Beiyun, why don't you give it to me Hundreds of thousands."

"If you want money, you have to die. I'm burning money! The first batch of real estate pre-purchase money has to wait for your internal treasury and state treasury to be exploited, and there is not much in my hands." Song Beiyun shook his head and said: " Anyway, from today onwards, I, Song Beiyun, have retreated, so if you have anything to do, go directly to the workshop to find me. Also, you’re pretty much the same yourself, don’t let Zuo Rou lie to you for too much money, the household department is going to talk."

"Oh...I see."

Chapter 367: On July 7, 14, take a three-day sunny break before making a decision

"Batong." Jin Ling'er played out a card: "Come and give me a good card."

"Battle." It wasn't long before Zuo Rou learned to play mahjong, and Qiao Yun was sitting beside her as an adviser: "Is this all right?"

"It's okay, you can spend [-] yuan and it will bloom."

"Hahahaha..." Jin Ling'er picked up the cards in her hand: "All three are in my hand!"

Zuo Rou ignorantly drew a card from the back of the treasure card, just knocked it over with Qiao Yun, and immediately burst into a smile, she clapped her hands and slapped the last [-] card on the table: "Hahahaha, me and Qiaoyun Already!"

"Oh... oh..." Jin Ling'er immediately leaned back on the chair, clutching her stomach, "It hurts... it hurts here..."

"Come on, every time you can't win a card, it hurts there. I don't know if you are pregnant with a baby or a big chestnut. Is it so irritating?" Miao Yan took out the money from the small bag and began to count it to Zuo Rou. : "I would like to gamble and admit defeat, but shamelessness is not an option."

"I lost all afternoon..." Jin Ling'er pouted, "It's so boring."

After Jin Ling'er came back from Song Beiyun, she moved back to the Princess Mansion next door. Although the overall environment in the palace is better, Song Beiyun is here to take care of her at all times. She is now a key animal protection, and she has to be clever even when she goes out. The whole process of guarding, and she is also very good at using her stomach. These days, she has taken advantage of it, but after all, the same trick is used too much, and now they don't like it very much.

But Song Beiyun eats, that's enough.

Xiao Song is very busy these days, not just these few days, but will be very busy for some time to come, because the large-scale hydraulic loom has begun to overcome the final difficulties.

Another very important business is that the Department of Food Crops Research and Development in the Third Department of Huangcheng Division has also begun to breed several kinds of long-haired sheep, and this is going on at the same time, and the little Song is still trying his best to recruit people.

No matter where people are, as long as they are proficient in a certain field, they can apply and be hired with a high salary.

This news has attracted a lot of skilled workers from all directions, many of them are farmers, orion blacksmiths, and even the son of a big man. The boy who likes to play with fire is called Ding Ru.

In the eyes of everyone, this Ding Ru is a crazy guy. His father is the minister of Dali Temple who can wrestle with the prime minister, but he doesn't even want to get a job.

For example, put all kinds of things in the fire to burn, and then carefully consider what is left after burning. He also likes to wonder why plant ash can be used as fertilizer. He even figured out that grinding human bones and other animal bones into powder can make crops grow. good.

This kind of person is simply a big waste in this era, because where in the world are there so many bones for him to farm?

But in Song Beiyun's eyes, this man is really a wild scientist. If his spirit of exploration can be reused, he will definitely be an astonishing talent in the future.

Under the instruction of the Ministry of Industry, the size of the workshop has now been enlarged again. Standing on the city wall of Jinling and looking down, the south of the city has been connected into one piece. Thick smoke billows from the chimneys, and rotten eggs are everywhere. The smell, although it looks like a miasma, but the number of people working and living inside has reached nearly [-], and it is still expanding.

The Ministry of Industry attaches great importance to this place, and Lao Zhang is organizing some outstanding young officials from the Ministry of Industry to study in the workshop these days.

"Master Zhang, you are still amazing."

Song Beiyun and Lao Zhang stood on a scaffold in the workshop in their spare time, looking at the chimney in front of them, both of them saw the ultimate enjoyment in their eyes.

"Although I can't talk about it in the court, I am also a minister after all." The old man twisted his beard: "It is my long-cherished wish to see the prosperous world in my lifetime. But in the future, Master Song will need a lot of hard work, and all I can do is The good wind wishes you to ascend to the blue sky with strength."

"Hey... Master Shang Shu, you are too modest. How can you rely on your strength? You just built a tower for me."

Song Beiyun looked at the front with emotion. In just half a year, this place has become such a scale. It is definitely not something he can do alone. Zhang Shangshu has at least [-]% of the credit, and the authority of a Shangshu lies there. He started to approve people and land, and the big bosses in the court and China would not embarrass him, and now he is relying on that golden ruler to promote the precise unit of the metric system across the country.For grain, wine, weaving and other industries, the new scale represents a new standard. Small households can no longer be short of catties, and high households can also avoid waste.

Businessmen are the group of people with the most sensitive sense of smell. They first responded to this system, and then the folks gradually began to use the dual-track system, that is, the measurement units of feet and centimeters were mixed.

However, the official rice store has already begun to use the concept of cubic meters to measure grain. The new weighing system is more accurate and easier to grasp than before.

The Ministry of Households has also been promoting the new grain system during this period. Compared with the previous system, the difference will not be very big, but if the quantity is large, the new measurement standard will make farmers earn about half as much as before. currency.

Farmers prefer to use the new system, which makes those grain dealers who still use the old system have to replace it with the new system.

Generally speaking, the birth of the new system can be said to have brought the standardization of the Song Dynasty to a new level.

In the words of Mr. Zhang, "Those people don't understand that weights and measures are the cornerstone of a country."

"Let's go, Mr. Zhang, to visit the new textile machine."

"Walk."

The two came to the workshop of the hydraulic textile machine, where there were three different types of textile machines in operation, and dozens of young people were squatting there to carefully observe the operation of each textile machine.

The water wheel pushes the power here through the rotary rod, coupled with the torque conversion of the metal gears, although the new textile machine is similar to the old one in principle, its efficiency is not the same.

A machine can produce nearly a hundred times as much in a day as the most skilled spinner.

"Here, I want to praise these young people by name." Song Beiyun pointed to the group of squatting or lying young people: "They spent a short period of time without sleep to observe and improve, and transformed the old-fashioned machines into their current appearance. If there are no accidents in the future, the first wool spinning factory in Dasong will be established before September."

"Okay." Zhang Shangshu clapped his palms and laughed, and was about to walk in: "Let me go and have a look."

"Wait." Song Beiyun took off two masks wrapped in oil paper from the side and handed them to Zhang Shangshu: "This needs to be worn."

Lord Shangshu nodded, put on a mask like Song Beiyun and walked in. Although he was a little stuffy, it can be seen from the flocs flying all over the sky in the workshop that there would be trouble if he didn't wear it.

"My Great Song Dynasty is people-oriented. In the future, there will be special safety personnel for pre-job training before the start of textile factories, coal mines, and asbestos mines." Song Beiyun put on a cloth shoe cover and walked in with Zhang Shangshu: "Everyone, come to welcome the workers." Lord Minister of the Ministry inspects the work!"

Those young people jumped up from the ground at once, a little shy and awkward. Although Zhang Shangshu often went to the math group to play with the young people there in casual clothes, it was his first time to come to this workshop. The people here It was also the first time to see Master Shangshu.

The top leaders of the six departments and nine temples are all high-ranking officials. When will they, the sons of craftsmen, have the opportunity to meet such high-ranking officials?Although they are usually lively in front of Song Beiyun, but now they all look dead.

"Not bad, not bad, they are all aspiring young people, okay..." Mr. Zhang sighed: "This is the pillar of our Song Dynasty! Mr. Song."

"The subordinate is here."

"I will be the master for them. Every year, you will judge one of the best and send it to the Ministry of Industry. You will be an official!"
