Song Beiyun

"You have said so much, but you just want to go to Chang'an." Miao Yan laughed: "You are so shameless."

"Who said that? It's nonsense." Fo Baonu had a face of disapproval: "I'm just worried that it will be dangerous for you to go alone."

Miaoyan turned her head to look at Fo Baonu, and said after a while, "Are you out of your mind to make excuses now? Don't you know where I am going?"

"I... I'm just worried that he will be bad for you."

"Whether you are worried or worried, you know it in your own mind." Miao Yan looked speechless: "You should train your Ma Zhiyuan, Ma Zhiyuan or Ma Mingyuan? It doesn't matter, anyway, you should train that one well, don't think about it Dog man, he is someone you can't control."

Fo Baonu sat there silent for a long time, then patted the table: "No, I have to watch, you are not in good health, what if you get ruined."

Miao Yan sighed and stopped talking.This woman is a typical person who dislikes integrity and dislikes her body, but she will never let go of a chance, and there are all kinds of reasons for thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, you really need to clean up."

Fo Baonu doesn't care about these, because she has already started to make plans, and it's still the kind of grand-sounding plan, such as the Liao emperor's west tour, inspection work, and sympathy for the people's sentiments, anyway, it's that kind of meticulous appearance.

Seeing the things above, no one in the world would think that although the emperor of the Liao Kingdom was a bitch, he was a good emperor who worked hard to govern and was very talented.

But in fact, no one knows that this bitch is actually just to see the dog man, or more precisely, she is itchy and owes someone to clean her up.

"Talk about you, what kind of bullying have you become, and you still go up like this. Do you know that you are called cheap?"

"Nonsense, I have never lost!"

Come on, the stubborn people still love to play, and the faint king of the Liao Kingdom has so many ambitions.

"When are you leaving?"

"Are you so impatient?" Miao Yan asked dumbfoundedly: "I just made a suggestion, now you have to use a mosquito net to sleep at night, but you can't even wait for the weather to cool down?"

"It's almost fine, it's already cold in the morning and evening."

Faced with such a rush to give away the head, Miao Yan has no better way, after all, some things are just like this, she doesn't understand what kind of evil the Emperor of Liao Kingdom is, maybe it's because he likes to be dealt with...

At this moment, Xiao Song was squatting on a small hill with a piece of cornbread, looking at the open space below, staring blankly while eating.

The terrain here is flat, surrounded by water on the left and right, and it is an excellent site for workshops in terms of terrain.The focus of the new workshop will most likely be weapons and equipment and sporadic civilian products, so the place does not need to be as large as the one outside Jinling City, but more can be produced to form supporting industries.

The amount of work is still huge, and Xiao Song really doesn't have much money on hand, and the national treasury will definitely not support such a large-scale appropriation.

The Xujia Workshop is actually not very good. After all, Xiao Song is against public-private partnership projects in his heart. If the road is a little bit wrong, there will either be oligarchs embezzling state-owned assets or behemoths swayed by political thinking.

Read as a joint venture, and write as an exclusive.Regardless of which party's exclusive ownership, it will not have a good impact on the whole. Under the current productivity and social relationship model, it is either purely privatized or purely publicized. When the two parties get together, there is usually no good result.The lessons of the former Soviet Union are right in front of us, and Xiao Song cannot take this detour.

"Marshal, let me tell you, we don't have money, we can cheat Liao's money." The big black cow next to him suddenly said: "The emperor of Liao has taken a fancy to you, just listen to me, Wronged and wronged, let him pay back the principal with interest when the other side gets up."

"What's your idea?"

Xiao Song glanced back at him. Although this guy is not very educated, he is full of bad things. Sometimes listening to his opinions is actually a way of thinking.

"The emperor of the Liao Kingdom likes you, but you are short of money, so what can you do? I heard that there are rich people in the city who raise rabbits, and those rabbits wipe their butts with sesame oil every day, making them look slippery. This evening, the uncle will serve you comfortably, so the money will come as soon as you say it? Yun Shuai..."

Song Beiyun got up and gave him a kick, then walked away slowly with his hands behind his back, while the big black bull followed behind and shouted: "Shuai Yun, think about it!"

After all, this fellow's words cannot be listened to, and his mind has never left Xiasanlu, so he still has to discuss it with normal people in the end.

It just so happened that Xu Li came here in the afternoon, so Xiao Song naturally wanted to set up a table to welcome him.

But when he saw Xu Li wearing filial piety on his arm, Xiao Song frowned: "Uncle Xu..."

"I left a few days ago." Xu Li has started to grow a beard now, which means he is going to keep his filial piety: "It's absurd to say that he died in a woman's belly, so let's not talk about it."

"Condolences."

Xu Li shook his head lightly and sighed: "There's nothing to worry about, but now that I'm the head of the Xu family, I'm a little caught off guard."

"Do whatever you want." Xiao Song poured a glass of wine for him: "Have you gone to Chang'an City? Are there any projects to develop?"

"Theoretically, we want to make a copy of Jinling's stuff, but there are some changes." Xu Li tapped on the table lightly: "I want to take a stake in the workshop."

"No."

Xiao Song categorically refused. Private individuals must not get involved in the matter of the workshop, otherwise it would be the end of his life. It would be unwise for Xu Li to want to take a stake.

Xu Liwen said in a deep voice: "Then can I start a family by myself?"

"That's fine." Xiao Song said with a smile: "If you want to open one directly, it's not a big problem. If you want to become a shareholder of the Royal Workshop, absolutely no. You can figure out why."

"What does it take to open a workshop?"

"You put in the money, and don't worry about the rest." Xiao Song tapped on the table lightly: "I will arrange everything for you."

"Then let's talk about benefits now."

Chapter 554, September 9, Three Years

"The Empress Dowager may be leaving."

Zuo Rou sat there holding Jin Ling'er's letter and said to Xiao Song, "Jin Ling'er asked me to go back and help, saying that she can't take care of the family affairs by herself."

"Then go back, and come back together when the other end is done." Xiao Song looked at the letter together beside him: "There are a lot of things to deal with, and I don't feel relieved to ask others to help with some things. Be obedient, go and help her."

"Hey... I don't even know how smart I am, so you say I'm stupid. But I'm a bit stupid compared to you, but I'm smarter than them."

Zuo Rou was a little reconciled, but Xiao Song didn't say anything, after all Zuo Rou, she didn't know where her self-confidence came from these days, anyway, she felt that she was smarter.

"Then when do you think I should leave?" Zuo Rou turned his head and looked at the people around him: "I'll leave Qiao Yun behind. You don't have anyone to take care of you, so that's not going to work."

"No, it's more than 2000 miles along the way, sister Qiaoyun is more at ease with you. I don't have any problems, anyway, it's not a life or death. Spring will come next year." Xiao Song held Qiaoyun's hand and said: "Let's go. I think we should start in a few days. After the Double Ninth Festival, the weather will be cold sooner or later, and the road will not be easy to walk. The autumn rain will delay things."

Zuo Rou thought about it and discussed it with Qiao Yun, and felt that this was also a matter, so the three of them discussed briefly, and decided to set off in the morning of the day after tomorrow.

This person was reluctant to leave, so Zuo Rou pointed at Song Goubi with five fingers.

"What does this mean?"

"In these two days, five times a day!" Zuo Rou said firmly, "Stop your addiction before leaving."

Song Gou's expression at that time was that of an old man looking at his mobile phone, but Qiao Yun was not as domineering as Zuo Rou. She looked aside shyly, but behind Zuo Rou she secretly gestured a three at Song Beiyun.

Oh... simple math, it's just an eight.

Xiao Song pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and shouted outside: "Come here, give me all the goji berries sent by the Xixia envoy a few days ago and stew the mutton for me!"

The guards outside scratched their heads and walked into the yard: "Master Song...it weighs ten catties."

"It's stewed!"

Afterwards, until Zuo Rou and the others left, Song Beiyun's mental state was always in a bad state. Even when he sat there during the day and had a meeting with the local gentry and officials, he could fall asleep while talking. They asked him if he was When he got a disease, he usually answered that he was not acclimatized.

After two days of baldness, Xiao Song finally sent the rosy Zuo Rou and Qiao Yun to the carriage early in the morning, and watched them leave after thousands of instructions.

Xiao Song finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the big black bull behind him finally dared to take a few steps up, and he touched Song Beiyun's shoulder furtively.

"What?"

"Master." The big black cow looked around, and carefully took out a cloth-wrapped thing from his arms: "Good thing."

"What the hell?"

"I've seen the commander-in-chief's posture these days, and he was drained, so I felt sorry for the commander-in-chief, so I secretly got a big black donkey's ox from a fellow villager, and the commander-in-chief went back to make up for it."

Xiao Song frowned, and looked at the cloth bag with disgust: "You eat it yourself."

"Master, it works! It works!"

"Really?" Xiao Song asked in a low voice, "Don't lie to me, this thing is so disgusting."

"You'll know if you try it, Commander. If you eat this stuff, a cow will die."

Xiao Song pondered for a moment, took the cloth bag and put it in his small bag, and patted the big black cow on the shoulder: "Good job."

But in the days that followed, Xiao Song had nothing to worry about. He devoted all his attention to the construction of the Jing River, almost day and night.

Sheng Sheng tanned himself, a white-faced scholar, into a black-faced evil god. His whole body was darkened several degrees, and he became more and more vigorous.

The biggest problem in Jinghe County is manpower. Because of the small number of people, they can only borrow people from Chang'an, but borrowing people is not a long-term solution after all.

So Xiao Song devoted himself to formulating a new temporary recruitment system, which is the Five Elements Army system.The so-called five-element army is to recruit people from the people and give them military treatment, but not to participate in the battle. rule.

This system does not conflict with the current military system, and it can greatly increase the flexibility of personnel. In addition, the military system is equivalent to giving those recruited people a living guarantee. After all, the Song Dynasty is a standing military system. Under the premise, there is always a job that guarantees income in drought and flood.

This kind of work is very precious to the people in the northwest, so nearly a thousand people signed up on the first day of the implementation, and there should be more in the future. The number of the entire team can reach tens of thousands or even tens of thousands.

And on the tenth day after Zuo Rou left, Xu Li appeared in front of Song Beiyun again, this time holding roast chicken, good wine and a guarantee contract in his hand.

Xu Li did his part when it came to his brother's settlement of accounts. In the ten days before signing the contract, he first went to investigate the situation here, including the review of various costs and sales issues, etc. , and then drafted a guarantee contract.

"Xu Li, you are a bit ruthless." Xiao Song shook his head after reading the contract and said, "There is no reason for the government to eat up all your unsalable products. At most, they can give priority to purchasing."

"What if it's unsalable?"

"Then you have to find a way. First of all, your workshop is a private property. If you have to go online with the official uniform, you can only do it in a cooperative manner. This kind of exclusive sales model will not go long. And you must know that the government itself The workshop will participate in the competition, and if it is sold under an exclusive contract, the quality will never be improved." Xiao Song shook his head and said, "I can't sign this contract."

"You mean you want me to compete with the government's workshop?"

Xiao Song leaned there and remained silent for a long time: "Although there may be a risk of leaking the core technology, it doesn't matter. What I need is the stable development of the entire industry. I will transfer part of the first-generation technology to you, and follow up your research and development work. It’s all up to you, the two sides develop in parallel without interfering with each other, but the final product will compete.”

"What if it leaks out?"

"Generally not, among other things, just for the special steel, I will give you the formula, and you may not be able to come up with something. The Academy of Sciences in the Song Dynasty is not vegetarian, and the three aspects will never change." It may be privately owned, one is energy, one is materials, and the other is transportation. These three aspects are always controlled by the state, so here you can only become a distributor or a buyer.”

Xu Li thought for a while, then nodded slightly: "What about the salt soil?"

"That thing is a traditional industry, you'd better not touch it. That piece of cake belongs to others, and you will have problems if you touch it randomly." Xiao Song waved his hands and said: "Don't touch traditional industries, the power of the private sector is not enough now. Shake these."

Xu Li was silent for a while, then pointed to the contract and said, "So you don't want to sign this contract, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Song nodded and said, "Underwriting is not feasible, and the entire industry will choose the bidding system in the future."

"Bid?"

Xiao Song explained the bidding process to Xu Li in detail. Simply put, no matter what department purchases, it must choose better quality, lower cost and better after-sales service. This is the foundation of social competition. It is also the driving force to stimulate the advancement of technology as a whole.

"I understand." Xu Li nodded and said, "It means that no matter if it's public or private, as long as it doesn't meet the standard, you don't want it, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Song said firmly: "This is the foundation of the country in the future. Whether Da Song can truly become the father of East Asia depends on this set of plans. Even the supporting products for the future army, palace, government, etc. There will be a competitive bidding system."

"Won't that breed corruption?"

"You don't know how thick the cage I added to it is, and it is difficult to prevent corruption under any circumstances, so since this is the case, it is natural to choose a better method, just like the imperial examination. , but in the end it’s just difficult but necessary.” Xiao Song clapped his hands and stood up: “As long as you open a door, someone will naturally do the things behind.”

Xu Li didn't say anything more. There is no way to verify whether this road is good or not, or even whether it is right or wrong, but in the end it is a trial and error. I have missed countless times over the years, but if you don't try it, who will know? Right or wrong?

"If I invest 1000 million guan, I will pay back in a few years."

"It depends on your business situation." Xiao Song spread his hands and did not give an answer: "Good luck, three years. Bad luck, nothing to lose. Isn't this just a business, Xu Li."

Xu Li thought for a while, then poured himself a full glass of wine: "Maybe."

The two chatted until late at night, but Xu Li didn't leave, and stayed in the county government office for the night. The next morning, the two of them wandered together on the desolate streets of Jinghe River.

Look here and there, there are no hawkers hawking and no people coming and going in the market, some are just the hurried figures of farmers carrying tools and going to work in the field.

After all, it is a frontier land. The former Longxing land around Chang'an is now so dilapidated and decadent. Xiao Song feels that the pressure is huge.

But the good thing is that here is like a young girl who has just entered the adulthood. She can flex her muscles without wearing makeup and letting others dress her up.

"Is this where the second part of your five-year plan begins?"

"Otherwise?" Xiao Song laughed: "I also want to be in Jinling, will you let me?"

"Hahaha, yes."

"Chang'an is divided into two. The Liao Kingdom took Wannian and Luoyang, and I took Chang'an and Xianyang. In comparison, do you think the Liao Kingdom has won?"

"Needless to say? How does Xianyang compare with Luoyang?"

"Hahahaha, Xu Li, Xu Li, you sometimes misunderstand." Xiao Song shook his head and said, "You will know in a few years. By then, I will drive this road and plant this tree, so I can't let them comment. Good or bad."

After Xiao Song finished speaking, he waved his hand: "Xianyang, Chang'an, is the center of the earth. From this point, I want to go all the way to Central Asia, and take the Silk Road out of the fucking world!"

Chapter 555, October 10, Three Years

Winter is approaching, and the weather is getting chillier. The temperature in the northwest is not too low, but the cold wind is a bit uncomfortable.

Xiao Song has been here for two months, he is also very busy during this time, and he can't take care of too many things, he received a letter from his family halfway, saying that the Empress Dowager has gone, and there may be nothing he can do for a while Come over, Xiao Song didn't have any objection, after all, the things in the world, in the final analysis, can't compare with a family relationship, blood is thicker than water as it should be.

It’s just that it’s a bit lonely for this person to build a foundation in this place where no shit is possible. There is not even a brothel. If you want to drink flower wine, you have to go to Chang’an City, and the quality of the flower girl over there is so good. Looking at their old arms and legs, Xiao Song felt that it would be better to draw some erotic pictures to leave some artistic treasures for future generations.

One day, after he got up, he was taking a shower when he suddenly found that the gloomy sky began to crackle the snow. After a while, the snow turned into snowflakes, and they were covered up one after another. All of a sudden, the wind wrapped the snow, and the snow sandwiched the wind. , blowing on the face like a knife is generally uncomfortable.

The construction site was temporarily stopped, because Songgou's philosophy has always been to stop for three minutes rather than grab a second, and safety should be put first. After all, even if the construction is in such a ghostly weather, the progress will not be so fast. , it would be better for everyone to hide in the house, and An Ansheng waits for the day when the clouds will open again to go back to work.
