Song Beiyun

"I..." Fo Baonu was silent for a while: "Don't worry about it."

"That's why I haven't eaten."

Fo Baonu frowned, and showed his teeth when he spoke: "Hurry up and lead the way if you want to go, don't talk nonsense. If people find out, don't blame me for turning against me."

"You are a prince, and you are still a prince of Liao, you are afraid of a fart."

"What do you know, the prince is afraid."

Song Beiyun took her to walk through the streets and alleys. After passing several streets, Song Beiyun came to the familiar booth. When he entered, he saw several people walking out. Song Beiyun took a closer look and saw that it was not Zhao Xing, Yan Shu and Zhao Xiang. what?

The three of them obviously also saw Song Beiyun, and spread out their fans in unison to cover their faces, and passed Xiao Song in the narrow alley, Yan Shu's fat belly almost brushed against Xiao Song's. arm.

"You Song people are so shameless after eating?"

"Well, I guess they are really shameless." Song Beiyun turned around and looked at Zhao Xing and the others trotting away from the alley, shaking his head and sighing silently.

"Hey, Mr. Song is here, those uncles just left."

"Leave them alone." Song Beiyun glanced at the round-faced little Huya beside him: "Old rules."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper greeted enthusiastically: "Don't sit inside, you two, it's hot, sit outside, it's cooler. Today, Mr. Song, you two came by coincidence. Huanxi, Master Song, what do you think?"

"Cook well, ox tail, ox hoof, ox horn, ox joy, you need to cook carefully."

"Master Song, don't worry, you still don't know me, how many uncles are eating here, if you are not careful, your head will be gone."

"What is Niu Huanxi?" The round-faced little Huya asked curiously, "Where is this on the body of the cow?"

"Don't ask, just eat and finish."

From the very beginning, this generation has been secretive and now it is almost blatant. Ordinary people can't and can't eat beef, but those who can come here are either rich or expensive, and they will eat a cow in half a month.The front end is fresh, while the back end is roasted jerky. Although it is relatively hard, it does have a special flavor.

Fobaonu waited curiously, and after a while, a large table of beef banquet was served. The main course was the beef joy, but it was impossible to tell what it was because of the delicate processing.

And that Buddha Baonu was also very courageous, he just picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, after chewing for a while, he nodded repeatedly: "So this is the taste of beef."

"how?"

"That's right, it would be great if there was wine, but it seems that there is no wine streamer here... It's a pity, but..."

Before she finished speaking, Song Beiyun waved: "Come, Icewine."

"Come on!"

The shopkeeper took out a jar of still wet wine from the back, with a little bit of cold air coming out, and it was very tempting to put it in front of the scorching weather and the scorching beef.

"This……"

"Meat is easy to spoil in summer, so the boss built an ice cellar in winter, selling ice outside and meat inside." Song Beiyun patted the seal open, smelled it: "Yeah, good wine."

After finishing speaking, he took out a bowl and poured it for Fo Baonu, but before Xiaoyuanlian could drink it, he suddenly stopped her hand: "Is it not hurting today? I don't know who it was last time, drink it." After eating something cold, it hurts like a shrimp."

Fo Baonu's cheeks were flushed, and he pushed Song Beiyun's hand away forcefully: "How can it be so fast!"

After that, she took a big sip of the cold wine, and took another sip of the hot beef: "The life of corrupt officials is to live safely."

"I can't stop your mouth if I take you to eat." Xiao Song also filled a bowl for himself, drank it and said, "Speaking of which, I have a lot of business that I want to discuss with you, First Prince."

"Do business with me?"

"Yeah." Song Beiyun straightened up and said, "It's still a big deal."

"Okay, you are talking about what kind of business it is that you, a treacherous official in power, want to speak up in person."

"A big business of 3000 million yuan a year." Song Beiyun narrowed his eyes and looked at Fo Baonu: "It depends on how much the eldest prince can't eat."

"3000 million guan?" Fo Baonu's interest was also aroused. What is the concept of 3000 million guan?

Although the Liao Kingdom is not as rich as the Song Dynasty relying on Jiangnan and Jiangxi, it still pays 8000 to [-] million yuan in taxes a year. This is nearly half of the country's tax business. Who is not interested in putting it on?

Chapter 370, July 7, 17nd year, sunny, half a year has passed.

"Pigs, cattle and sheep? That's it?"

"Don't blame my brother for not reminding you." Song Beiyun said with a smile: "At the beginning of next year, my Da Song will accept more meat and wool."

"What do you want those for?"

"Naturally it is anti-Liao." Song Beiyun picked up the fan of Fobaonu in his hand and played with it. After playing for a while, he put it under his nose and smelled it: "Prince, you smell so good."

"Bastard..." Fo Baonu snatched his belongings: "Why is it against Liao? Isn't Song and Liao better than Qin and Jin?"

"How can there be so many good friends between Qin and Jin in the world? If you ascend to the throne, that's fine. What if you lose? If other princes succeed the Great Unification, the Liao Kingdom crosses the Yangtze River south and invades Xiangyang. It is a foregone conclusion." Song Beiyun tapped lightly. Looking at the table: "Do you think this is the truth?"

Fo Baonu did not deny it, because the peace faction in the country is actually not dominant. They all think that the Song Dynasty is weak and can be bullied, and they do not advocate a century-old homosexuality.If he can't inherit the throne, I'm afraid there will be wars and disasters all over the place.

"I'm telling you the news, but you've actually seen it. A corrupt official like me always looks forward to peace in the world. You and I are no different in that." Song Beiyun continued: "If you want to come, the eldest prince is also the same. Knowing that the Song people were weak only because of the lack of meat, so the court wanted to hoard some meat to supply the people of the country, but the southern border is not suitable for animal husbandry, and it is far from the Liao Kingdom. In this way, the eldest prince might as well take care of it , expand some animal husbandry specifications, and sell them over. At that time, you will also earn money from the Liao Kingdom, and you can also get closer to the Song Dynasty. Wouldn’t it be a boost when you seize the heir apparent?"

Fo Baonu pondered for a long time: "Let me think for a moment."

"It's okay, it's still early."

Song Beiyun couldn't believe a word of Fo Baonu's words. This person was too frivolous and bizarre, and he wasn't convincing until he couldn't make friends with him.

But what if his words are true?If the Song State really wanted to hoard a large amount of cattle and sheep, why couldn't the Liao State simply raise them and sell them to the Song State?The land of the Yellow River is vast and sparsely populated, which is just right for animal husbandry, and the price difference between meat and grain is more than two or three times.

Furthermore, the land and resources of the Liao State are not as mountainous and forested as the Song State, but the Liao State’s ironmaking skills are indeed not as good as the Song State. At that time, the ore can be sold at a high price, and the cattle and sheep can be exchanged for food and weapons. Build the Great Song Dynasty into the rear of the Liao Kingdom, allowing Daliao to have the power to resist the tribes of the grassland and the Kingdom of Jin.

However, there is another consideration, that is, it doesn’t matter if you don’t buy cattle and sheep anymore, because they are meat in themselves, and from the perspective of feeding amount, it is more cost-effective than simply growing grain.

"It's inconvenient for me to go into details, but..." Song Beiyun beckoned to Buddha Baonu mysteriously: "Come."

Fo Baonu approached, and Xiao Song said in a low voice: "You also know that my Song Dynasty is not good at fighting, and I don't have any soldiers. The land of Yanyun is now under the control of the Liao Kingdom, so you can rest assured. Song The country does not dare to fight and cannot afford to fight, and the resistance will return to the fight."

Fo Baonu nodded lightly. She didn't look down on Song Guo, but Song Guo really failed to live up to it. Without the premise of King Fu, she was beaten to the south of the Yangtze River in three years, and a treaty of annual tribute was set.

Now the Liao Kingdom doesn't take the Song Kingdom seriously at all. In their eyes, the only enemies are the increasingly powerful Jin Kingdom and the ferocious grassland. If the grassland tribes are integrated, the Liao Kingdom will face a two-sided attack.

Song State will not understand this truth, because as long as Liao State is finished, the ferocious grassland will never let this piece of fat go.

In Fo Baonu's mind, the current Song and Liao should be tied together. No matter whether Song is fighting against Liao or Jin, as long as the emperor of Song is not stupid, he will know which side to stand with first.

What Fo Baonu saw in the Song Kingdom these days, she was actually drooling silently. Except for the average military ability, the others were all top-level configurations. Exquisite objects are produced. Although the food production is also facing a reduction, it is still enough to eat.And that flourishing style of writing can be said to be enviable.

"I'll go and inquire with you, the Emperor of Song, first, to see if you, a bad bastard, lied to me."

"Hey, am I that kind of person? How could I lie to a good-looking girl with a round face and small canine teeth?"

Fo Baonu glared at him viciously: "It's a man's body!"

"Okay, man's body is man's body." Song Beiyun waved his hand and said, "I won't argue with you, and I don't care how you argue with them in the court, I'm just telling you, and the matter will definitely go to the Ministry of Household Affairs in the end It has nothing to do with me."

"Then why did you tell me?"

"At least I touched your precious feet. People say that after ten years of cultivation, we can cross the same boat, and after a hundred years of cultivation, we can sleep together. The fate between us must last for 50 to [-] years. Besides, this matter is handled by the Ministry of Household Affairs. , but I am doing the breeding of mutton sheep and sheep, if it can be successful...you understand what I mean?"

Fu Baonu was so angry and funny, he stretched out his hand and gave him a hammer: "No nonsense! Breeding of mutton sheep and sheep?"

"You will know when the time comes, but most of the sheep that will be sold to you will be rams, and ewes will not be sold."

"Why? Your sheep from Song Dynasty are better than those from Daliao?"

"Of course, you will know when the time comes. Don't worry, you will understand when you compare the sheep next time."

Fo Baonu doesn't have much interest in chatting with Song Beiyun now, her mind is full of the 3000 million yuan now, this money can arm three furry armies and how much more, can really take this money from the Song Dynasty, don't What if the scoundrel in front of him said a few words, even if he scolded him for three days?

"I'll take my leave first, Mr. Song is free."

"You are so heartless."

Fo Baonu got up and looked down at Song Beiyun: "Otherwise? Are you still in love with you?"

"It's not impossible, I really like the round-faced little tiger teeth."

"Hehe, bring shame on yourself." Fo Baonu turned and left without even turning his head.

And Song Beiyun continued to eat meat and drink alone there, without even looking at her, just crossed his legs and ate happily.

After he packed the rest of the things back, the good news came one after another. He was a little confused at first, but after hearing the report from the craftsman that the breakthrough was not from the metallurgical side, he was not so excited.

"Which point did it break through?"

"Master Hui Song, Soap."

Song Beiyun: "..."

Soap... Song Beiyun is the last thing to mention. This thing has no technical difficulty at all. He has already proposed the formula. If you get it out, you can get it out. What's so great about it?

The biggest function of this thing is nothing more than taking a bath and washing clothes. Now it’s not like there is no such thing as saponin powder. Is this thing a breakthrough?

Moreover, he himself used soap ten years ago. Later, in response to Miss Zuorou's request for a fragrance, he developed soap, and the formula was right there.The reason why he didn't sell it widely is because it requires a lot of oil, which is still a relatively heavy thing in this era, and the cost is not cost-effective, and the other is because the strong alkali cannot be mass-produced.

He gathered his emotions and prepared to go to the Ministry of Chemical Industry to scold people, but after he went there, he realized that things didn't seem to be what he thought.

After he walked in, he found a group of people headed by Ding Siqing's son standing in a pool, carefully watching the reaction inside.

When they saw Song Beiyun coming, they immediately made way for him.

Song Beiyun stepped forward to investigate carefully and found out... This is a weird reaction, a viscous and foul-smelling substance appeared in it, it is very classic asphalt...

"What did you put in it?"

"Fire oil." Ding Siqing's son whispered, "After that...it will look like this."

Song Beiyu blinked and scratched his head: "What method did you use to get this thing out?"

"It's... the distillation and stratification you mentioned, and then I added caustic soda to it." Ding Siqing's son scratched his head and said, "I don't know why, it just looks like this."

Song Beiyun picked some up with a stick, and after careful identification, he found that it was indeed asphalt, which was still in a viscous state due to the temperature.

This is a good thing, but in fact there are better things like gasoline and kerosene, but now no matter what kind of oil can be collected, Song Beiyun stood by the pool and said to the craftsman who reported to him: "Remember, this thing is called an accident. , cannot be called a breakthrough.”

After finishing speaking, he covered the pool with an iron lid: "Go, go to the big classroom, and I will tell you the specific structure of kerosene."

Petroleum and steel are the blood and bones of modern technology, but compared with steel, oil requires more and more complex pre-technology, and it will definitely not be possible to mine in large quantities within 50 to [-] years.

But since they found out by accident, then Song Beiyun will plant a seed in their hearts. It is not certain that Baobuqi and these freaks will find another way in the future.

And when he was explaining the decomposition of oil to these freaks, there was an explosion sound from the depths of the workshop. Song Beiyun just glanced at it and continued talking. He has been used to boiler explosions these days, because of various The reason is that the boiler exploded twice in three days, either because the steam hammer knocked off the lid, or the sudden expansion and contraction caused the jar to burst.

I'm used to it... I'm used to it.

It seems to be blooming on all sides, but in fact, both eyes are smeared.Song Beiyun sighed silently in his heart, there was more than one and a half years left in the three-year agreement, and Xiao Song didn't know if he could achieve the awesomeness he boasted at the time.

But what is certain is that there is absolutely no problem with civilian technology, and a blowout of civilian technology is not a big problem.

But the industrial grade and the military grade... are difficult, especially what he advocates is to let these people do their own research and tutor them by themselves, which is even more difficult.

The road to industrialization is really much more difficult than imagined. Even with his accelerator, it still takes time to accumulate...

"Master Song, something serious happened!"

Suddenly a man popped out of the door, and shouted hurriedly again: "That pot of iron that is newly baked cannot be hammered! Go and have a look quickly, the iron is too hard."

Chapter 371: On July 7 of the second year, the sun is as bright as steel

In the burning steel factory in July, a group of shirtless craftsmen are surrounding the forge and repeatedly beating a piece of iron, but even the most powerful blacksmith can't beat the piece of iron even with all his strength. Let it take its previous shape.

"Master Song is here, get out of the way."

Someone yelled loudly from behind, and then saw Song Beiyun take off his coat, revealing the tendons on his body. If there was a woman here, she would be surprised. She looks like a scholar, but she has such a strong body under the clothes, but Now surrounded by a group of strong and strong men, he is nothing too outstanding, except that he is a little white...

"Which furnace did this come from?"

Song Beiyun went over to ask a technician, and the technician immediately replied that it was a coke oven. He knew it at that time, and there was a high probability that it was carbon steel.

Judging from this hardness, even high-carbon steel cannot reach such strength at all, which should be the strength of manganese steel!

"Bring me the ore." Song Beiyun asked the technician to fetch the ore. After careful study, he confirmed that some of the ore was indeed manganese ore. Perhaps because he didn't pay attention, the two kinds of ore were put into the furnace at the same time. , and then it just happened to reach a delicate proportion, and finally it just happened that this furnace was a coke furnace again.

All kinds of things led to the detection of the world's first furnace of manganese steel under these coincidences.

"Go, hurry up and find out the source of this batch of ore!" Song Beiyun was bouncing around. If a manganese ore can be found, manganese steel as a tool steel can very quickly accelerate the development of basic industries, and the processing capacity will directly jump three times. Five steps!

"Yes, Master Song."

After giving the order, Song Beiyun wrapped his hair in a towel, went to the forging furnace, and watched the blacksmith take turns beating the manganese steel, but the manganese steel stubbornly refused to deform, and it took a long time to make the iron The lump has become a little flatter.

Song Beiyun looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's too much effort to use manpower, come on! Put on the water hammer!"

The water hammer has not been used since it was installed. It is not that it is not easy to use, but it is too troublesome, because it is really cumbersome, and it will take a lot of time to start and stop it once. The water hammer is needed for forging, so it has not been activated so far.

But this time, following Song Beiyun's order, the gear on the huge waterwheel was pulled down, and the two gears were tightly locked together, and the waterwheel slowly began to rotate with the speed.
