Song Beiyun

Everyone can hear his humility, because although his mouth is humble, his tone is full of pride.

Chapter 373: On July 7 of the second year, there was a phoenix coming to the sun

Most of the courtiers actually looked down on the workshop, thinking it was just Zhao Xing's playful work, and some even thought it was Song Beiyun's money grabbing.

But now the appearance of that treasured sword really shocked their jaws. Even Yushitai and Hubu, who bothered Song Beiyun the most and wished him to die, had nothing to say at the moment.

Although Yushitai had been accusing Song Beiyun of his brutal behavior in Hangzhou before, but now they are not convinced with their mouths, but they are also convinced in their hearts, because Zhao Xing then called someone to find a pair of walking armor.

Although the shape of this knife is strange, it seems that it was born for piercing armor. The infantry armor, which is difficult to penetrate even with a crossbow, is like paper under this knife. Whether it is cutting or stabbing, it can easily penetrate. The best armor in the world.

"Song Aiqing, you are welcome to do it. I'm ugly. If this technology falls into the hands of other countries, don't blame me for being rude."

What Zhao Xing said was a professional requirement, so how could he not know that Song Dynasty was able to float in this turmoil for so long because its iron-smelting technology was superior to other countries. Not good at attacking but almost invincible in defense.

If it is true that this technology has fallen into the hands of other countries, Song Beiyun may not be in the Song Dynasty if he does not say anything else on that day. At that time, the Burenjia he relied on for survival has become a waste product, and his emperor may have come to an end. .

"My minister obeys."

Song Beiyun cupped his hands and said with a smile: "In a few days, the officials and you adults will be able to see many products produced by the workshop one after another. The days of the workshop's net loss will soon be over."

Hearing this, the Minister of the Household Department was the first to let out a sigh of relief. The [-]-acre workshop is simply a monster that eats money. If you don’t pay money, Lao Zhang will grab him by the collar and scold him. If you give money...that is a bottomless pit Ah, still a bottomless pit of no output.

But now it’s all right, I finally saw something, and this thing is so amazing and dazzling, so amazing that the Minister of the Household Department wanted to come out and pat his chest and say, "Seeing that there are no colleagues, this is done with the money of the Ministry of Household Affairs." , but in the end he is still a bit thin-skinned, and he is not ashamed to fight for this credit.

"Officials, the birth of this steel is inseparable from the support of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials and other ministries. The credit I have today is also inseparable from the support of the officials of the ministries. The minister is not struggling alone. This achievement It belongs to the entire court and the entire Song Dynasty." Song Beiyun continued to bow and sincerely said: "If there is no encouragement from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, and Prime Minister Zhao, I would have given up a long time ago. In the past six months, you have given me this honor."

After finishing speaking, Song Beiyun turned his head to face all the officials and bowed deeply: "My lords, please be respected by the officials."

comfortable...

The chiefs of the departments whose names were named felt relieved. They all held their heads high, as if they really did what Song Beiyun said, and they had a part of their strength in this thing.

And Zhao Xiang turned his head and took a deep look at Song Beiyun, feeling quite touched in his heart.This son... is really a scheming person, and he also fully understands why there is no shortage of those who sneer at Song Beiyun in the court, but there are almost no people who oppose him.

Except Yushitai...

Because this kid is so good at handling things, he can make people comfortable no matter whether it has something to do with him or not. credit.

Who doesn't like such a person?In all fairness, if such a subordinate is released, even the household department that scolds Song Beiyun all day will fight for this talent.

If it is a big taboo in the officialdom to be comprehensive and exquisite in all aspects, it is only because it is not in place. Look at Song Beiyun, his ability is indeed the talent of a prime minister.And Zhao Xiang has also tasted it now. He once heard his son-in-law say that the way to be an official is to explain to both the superior and the inferior.

Song Beiyun implemented this point in a down-to-earth manner. He explained to the top and the bottom, and the explanation made people feel comfortable and satisfied. He didn't stick to a certain person, but as long as he was close to him, he was not stingy at all. .Changsha, Nanchang, gave so much credit for suppressing the rebellion. He gave it to King Fu and Ding Guogong without saying a word. He didn’t mention the credit for suppressing the rebellion in Hangzhou. The second merit gave the governor of Hangzhou the best effort.

I got a third-class merit, and I repeatedly expressed that I am not worthy of virtue, and I don't want to be rewarded again.

Such a person, just ask which superior leader doesn't like it!More importantly, after he took charge of the Imperial City Department, he actually didn't deal with the officials very much. Instead, he arranged for the troublesome distant relatives in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. For example, Zhao Xiang had a distant cousin, and her family had a The son was placed in a place called the Ministry of Municipal Affairs under the Imperial City Department, which was dedicated to maintaining the order of the three large collections in the Imperial City. It was a fat post.

Also, the son of Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Industry was imprisoned by the Wang family before, but now he is also managing the cloth business in the Chief Secretary under the Imperial City Secretary. Useless.

There are many such people, he has always done it quietly, no one said and no credit, people like this kind of people keep saying that he is a traitor, but I am afraid that no one in private does not want to give him up. Got it?

There are many corrupt and honest officials in the world, but there are very few officials like Song Beiyun, who is not like a young man who is old and cunning.

Afterwards, Zhao Xing became very happy because of Song Beiyun's great gift. He rewarded him generously for his meritorious deeds, and also verbally commended several Shangshu. Everyone was really happy.

After the court, when Zhao Xiang and Zhao Xing had dinner together, Zhao Xing suddenly raised his head and asked, "Zhao Xiang, what do you think of this Song Beiyun?"

A seemingly unintentional question made Zhao Xiang raise his head and ponder for a moment: "I wonder what aspect the official asked?"

"That's him."

"Strange." Zhao Xiang used a bizarre word to describe Song Beiyun: "Inhuman."

"Yeah, I think so too." Zhao Xing said with a smile, "Zhao has been an official for many years, have you seen anyone who took the initiative to give credit to others?"

"There are very few of them, and even if there are, it's just for the purpose of forming a party." Zhao Xiang said calmly: "There is no one like him."

"Yeah." Zhao Xing nodded, "If it were someone else, even if he hadn't been cut off, he would have been reprimanded and assigned. But he was still there safely, no matter how many people cursed him, he wouldn't be able to touch him in the slightest."

"The reason why he is a ghost." Zhao Xiang said with a smile: "That's it, the old minister really can't find any place to belittle him."

"That's right, there's really nothing wrong with him except for being lewd." Zhao Xing sighed, "But there are still people who don't feel at ease, saying that he has the appearance of a wolf."

"Try it and you will know." Zhao Xiang said with a smile: "Next time the officials see him, just call him from behind unintentionally."

"okay."

At this moment, Xiao Song was sitting in the tavern, and the round-faced little Huya was sitting opposite him.

"Master Song, today I want to visit your workshop."

"Oh, I can't say no, why are you so stubborn." Song Beiyun took a sip from the wine: "Can you let me watch you take a bath?"

"You bastard..." Anu sighed, "I won't tell you these witty words, so what if you quietly take me in to see and see?"

Indeed, let alone taking her in to see and see, even if she is given the formula of manganese steel, she can't make it. Such things as cooling and setting desulfurized coke and how many cubic meters of carbon monoxide are produced per kilogram of coal are beyond her grasp.

Not to mention the semi-open crucible steelmaking method, open-hearth steelmaking, converter steelmaking and closed blast furnace steelmaking in the back, here is the collaboration of two traversers and hundreds of craftsmen, it is the technology of the future that matches the present A cross-age craftsmanship combined with experience.

If she could learn this, Song Beiyun would stand upside down on the head of the east gate of Jinling City and have diarrhea.

But the rules are the rules, you can't take it with you, not because she is from the Liao Kingdom, or the "Prince of the Liao Kingdom", and her status does not allow it.

"Stop pestering me." Song Beiyun sighed: "Don't you have a sweetheart, Ma Mingyuan, right?"

Fo Baonu's eyes suddenly widened: "You!"

"Oh, you really, have you forgotten who I am? How much effort do you need to investigate such a person?"

Fo Baonu was a little flustered. After being reminded by Song Beiyun, she finally remembered that under that treacherous and slippery appearance, he was still the leader of the world's number one intelligence agency...

Although I don't want to admit this, Liao State's intelligence department really can't compare with Song State's, and she herself is the leader of Liao State's intelligence agency, and even she has to admit that she can't compare with Song Beiyun's methods. When I got up, there were fifteen Yan Shus in the middle.

"You found out quite clearly." Fo Baonu's expression turned ugly: "What else do you know?"

"I know a lot." Song Beiyun slowly raised his eyes from the edge of the bowl, his eyes were like vultures staring at their prey: "Emperor Yelu of the Liao Kingdom has not shown himself for two and three months, and at the same time the thirteen concubines in the harem They died one after another in the past two years, and three of them were directly involved in framing your biological mother, Prince Yelu."

Fo Baonu's body trembled and her brows frowned. She didn't even dare to look into Song Beiyun's eyes, and hurriedly avoided it.

"Okay." Song Beiyun put down the bowl with a smile: "I don't want to ask or care about your Liao Kingdom. I appreciate that revenge must be revenged. You are not inferior to men in this regard. But you are amazing. The most beloved Concubine Zhen was thrown into the brothel, and was gang-raped to death in less than three days, so cruel, little Huya."

"To each other." Fo Baonu turned his head away from looking at him: "You are not much better than me."

"Oh, that can't be the same. I didn't kill innocent people, but you killed many innocent people."

"Hahahahaha..." Fo Baonu leaned forward, and the distance between the two was less than ten centimeters. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Master Song, let me ask you. With your intelligence, you should be able to think that if I What will happen if it falls into their hands?"

"Understand, understand." Song Beiyun nodded again and again: "You women, how can I not understand. Also, if you get closer, I will kiss you."

Fo Baonu smiled and avoided, and the two sitting there acted as if those terrible topics hadn't happened just now. Song Beiyun continued: "Emperor Liao is either dead or unable to move. In fact, since your prince came here At that time, I should have guessed it, he didn't say that he was ordered by the Liao Emperor from the beginning to the end, but kept his mouth shut, the eldest prince, Anu, you are so ambitious."

"Don't call me Anu." Fo Baonu patted his forehead: "Is this what you can call me? Calling me this way among the Liao people is like calling a woman a heart and liver in Han people. It makes people sick."

"Want to be an empress?"

"A man's body." Fo Baonu raised his head: "Remember, I am a man's body."

Chapter 374: On July 7 of the second year, Qing Fanchen is nothing but chasing fame and fortune

"I'm curious, how did you find out about me?"

After drinking for three rounds, the round-faced little Huya blushed and looked at Song Beiyun with his head propped up: "I thought I hid it well."

Xiao Song raised his eyes and glanced at her: "There is no paper that can wrap the fire, sooner or later people will know. Have you ever heard of the rule of five?"

Fo Baonu shook his head silently.

"That is to say, although the world is big, it only takes five people to go from one person to another. It doesn't matter whether you are a peddler or a real dragon emperor, there are at most five people in between." Song Beiyun ate a mouthful of pork belly with a smile: "Of course, It's a bit exaggerated, but it's about the same. Today, I'll let the round-faced little Huya gain some insight, okay?"

"Tell me." Fo Baonu looked at him with a smile: "I want to see what tricks you can play."

Xiao Song put down his chopsticks, raised his head and looked at a diner not far away: "The first element of our spy business is to have keen observation skills. Look at the person next to you, wearing coarse clothes, but his feet They are a pair of brocade and embroidered shoes, but the shoes are old and the soles are almost torn. This shows that he is a poor man, but why is his family poor? Look at his face, his eyes are dull and listless , with dejection in his eyes, he sat there and sighed." Song Beiyun said with a smile, "Guess why?"

"What does this have to do with you knowing me?"

Song Beiyun laughed: "Yes, this is the interesting part. Your identity is Yelufo Baonu, a man or a crown prince. I will send people to the Liao Kingdom to inquire, and I only need to inquire in various luxury goods shops. , 'Hey, do you know what the eldest prince Yelu likes the most', you can get a general idea of ​​your usual preferences, if you have preferences, you will have circles, if you have circles, you will have acquaintances, and if you have acquaintances, you will have news. It seems that a bunch of useless When the information is gathered together, we can piece together what you usually do and who you deal with, and we will screen these people to find out the most likely ones, and then conduct a second screening." Song Beiyun raised two heads Root finger: "In the end, we got two people who meet the criteria, one is Hanlin Ma Mingyuan, and the other is Liao Kingdom Taichang Temple Prime Minister He Weizhou. Both of them are one of the few young talents in Liao Kingdom. Very close personal relationship."

Fo Baonu frowned when she heard that, she didn't even think that few people in the Liao Kingdom knew about her, but it seemed that the officials of the Song Kingdom thousands of miles away were watching her every move.

"But, He Weizhou is a person who likes to be greedy for petty gains. He always asks you to pay the bill when you go out to drink. It's harmless for such a person once or twice, but as time goes by, no matter how big the eldest prince's breasts are, he can't stand it."

"Breathless!" Fo Baonu corrected viciously: "Don't think that I don't know that you are teasing me again."

Xiao Song didn't care, he continued: "Then Ma Mingyuan is left. He became famous when he was young, and he is known as Yan Shu of the Liao Kingdom. Entered the Hanlin Academy, and acted righteously.

He is a model of gentleness, kindness, respect and thrift.Who wouldn't like such a good guy, not to mention that the always stingy little Huya also gave him a set of super luxurious study three treasures, a bone fan of Wu Daozi's Concubine Xiang, and a set of rubbings by Wang Xizhi, isn't that obvious enough?At most, Xiao Huya gave others a painting and calligraphy, and it was probably a fake. "

"I'm not stingy, I'm really poor..." Fo Baonu straightened up: "Do you think being a prince is rich? Do you think everyone is as corrupt as you?"

"Keep your voice down." Xiao Song smiled and waved his hands and said, "Everyone in Liao thought that the eldest prince was wooing Ma Mingyuan, but if he was wooing, he didn't need to do that, not to mention that Ma Mingyuan was a typical scholar, more than kind but not resourceful enough. If you have no intention of politics, it won't do much for the insidious little Huya. To win over such a person, it is better to win over Chen Deyu, the minister of the household department, and Chen Cheng, the servant of the official department. These two people will definitely be the talents of the ministers in the future."

Fo Baonu's eyes widened. She never expected that Song Beiyun's methods were so powerful. Not only did he investigate himself to the bottom, but he even found out the foundations of the court of the Liao Kingdom.

This person is too scary, just sitting in the room of talking and laughing makes people shudder, if this kind of person is not eliminated, the Liao Kingdom will definitely suffer a lot from him in the future.

"Little Huya, you are trying to kill me, your eyes can't deceive anyone." Xiao Song said with a smile: "I can understand, and I don't blame you. If you and I were swapped, you would be dead now."

"Look at what you said, Mr. Song."

Although Fo Baonu denied it in his mouth, he really lost his momentum. With just a few short words, his majestic prince was already suppressed by the person in front of him.

"Ma Mingyuan, it's good." Song Beiyun stood up with a smile, and patted Fo Baonu's shoulder: "Treasure it. Store, pay the bill."

He left wearing that gorgeous flying fish suit, only Fo Baonu was left sitting there, she was cold from head to toe now, because although Song Beiyun didn't say anything just now, the murderous look when she patted her shoulder had already cast her clothes passed on to her.

She woke up all of a sudden, that person just now was the number one bastard in the Song Dynasty, if he was given the seal of command, he would defeat the person who could bury all the soldiers of the empire alive.And the last sentence, especially the sentence "cherish it well" is to tell yourself "don't guess, your pony's life is hanging by a thread."

After a long time, Fo Baonu breathed out secretly, her brows were tightly frowned, although it was hot and scorching summer, she was as if she had just come out of an ice hole, her whole body was completely cold.

But no matter what, she is the prince of a country. Although she was frightened, she was so strong and quickly adjusted back to her state. She sat there and poured herself a glass of wine. After drinking it in one gulp, she chuckled lightly: "Okay, let's see who can beat who."

After finishing speaking, she also stood up: "Shopkeeper, pay the bill!"

"My lord, isn't it already over?"

Fo Baonu stared: "Do you think I can't afford the money? You need him to settle it?"

"Then... four hundred Wen of sincerity."

After paying the money, Fo Baonu walked to the street, she felt uncomfortable all over, as if someone was staring at her all the time, she stood still for a while before turning around and walking towards Honglu Temple.

When she returned to Honglu Temple, the first thing she did was to summon Si Cheng, saying that she wanted to submit the business rules with Da Song. Without hesitation, he handed the message to Zhao Xiang.

"Oh? Invited by the Prince of Liao Kingdom?"

"Exactly."

"I'm going to speak to the officials."

When everything was going on here, Song Beiyun returned to the workshop and continued to toss about the recent urgent development projects.

According to the current research and development progress, the first batch of things to be put on the market will be glassware and some iron products, but the quantity will not be too large. Although it will hit the market sooner or later, it is necessary to give the existing market some time to relax and release a signal.

The original plan for the second batch of market was cotton and wool textiles. He has already purchased a large amount of cotton seeds from Tianzhu, and now he has subsidized land reclamation in Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Jiangsu and other places. It will be recovered in September and October this year. The first batch of cotton, Da Song will have its own cotton spinning industry by then.

Of course...it's all money, and the jingling copper coins are constantly being thrown out. Xiao Song feels that if the time is right, a war is really going to be launched to adjust the structure of resource supply and demand.

The Song Dynasty launched a war... It sounds like a pretty funny thing, but this matter is obviously already vaguely mentioned on paper.

Of the three major industries, smelting, textiles and chemical industry, only Xiao Song’s chemical industry has not started a serious start. They are all piggybacked on by other industries, and they are basically still in the research and development stage. Don't worry, this is an industry with a basic threshold. What chemistry and materials science need is not some genius breakthrough, but the accumulation of experience, but even so, the chemical fertilizer industry should be officially launched.

The two products of chemical fertilizers and pesticides can help more people survive the famine years before the potato appeared, and after the population is satisfied with food and the demand for labor surges, it should usher in a period of five generations and ten countries. first baby boomer.

"Is this considered to bring peace to the world?" Song Beiyun muttered to the people around him with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, "Go, the second expedition team is preparing to set off for Tianzhu within a month to introduce the high-yielding people there." Grain seeds, tell them, even if they use the asshole to clamp those grain seeds, I have to get them back!"

"Yes, Master Song."

While talking, there was another explosion from the boiler in the distance, and the ground trembled again. Song Beiyun sighed silently, but still got up and went to the explosion site.

Over the past few days, the continuous explosions at the steam boiler have caused more than a dozen people to be injured to varying degrees, and one worker died due to his injuries. Although Song Beiyun gave a high amount of subsidies, there are still not many people in the steam room. Individuals are willing to come.

He didn't scold anyone this time, after all, what did he do?This is laying the foundation for all future industrial foundations. Failure is inevitable, and sacrifice is inevitable. After all, everything is still in the groping stage. Boiling water will definitely be the most efficient way for human beings to convert energy, unless Xiao Song suddenly Suddenly, the power of heaven is awakened, and the aura is revived. 90.00% of the five people and 80.00% of the animals in the world have superpowers.

Otherwise, human civilization simply cannot bypass the development process of boiling water...

"Hey... the airtightness is still airtight, why can't the airtightness be done well."

Xiao Song was sitting in a dilapidated work shed, surrounded by things sprayed out by boiler explosions. In his previous life, there were things that were not noticeable all over the floor. The one that left the deepest impression on him was the one he followed when he and his father went to the hot springs. Huge boiler room.But it just so happens that such a non-technical thing has become the biggest stumbling block on his way forward.

headache...

"Master Song, take a rest. I'll just clean it up here. It's lucky that no one was injured this time."
