Song Beiyun

Although they are all guns, machine guns are definitely a subversive product. Even if there are [-] cavalry on the opposite side, it is impossible to retreat under such firepower, let alone attack, it is impossible!

The rain-like attack just now has proved this point.

Indeed, such consumption would be huge, but compared with the victory of a war, this is simply a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning.

"If there are a hundred." Song Beiyun took off the cotton in his ears, and said to the director of the arsenal who was also shocked beside him, "What will happen?"

"Sweep the world!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Song Beiyun turned to the sky with his hands behind his back and left with a long smile. As soon as he left, all the generals rushed over from the stands. Everyone wanted to see the power of this legendary thing up close.

Many people were burned by the barrel of the gun when they touched it, but they didn't care, and went up to try shooting it.

Soon after Song Beiyun returned to the office, he heard the roar of machine guns coming from the test firing site.

He took a sip of tea, first laughed, then bent over uncontrollably.

"Marshal, what level of secrecy do you plan to set for this thing?"

"Dragon class." Song Beiyun's assistant said: "Strictly keep it secret, if it spreads out, it will be tracked down, and no matter who is tracked down, it will be dealt with by military law."

"Yes!"

Song Beiyun sat in his seat and pondered for a moment, then began to write a plan, which was about the mass production and distribution of machine guns.

And with this thing, theoretically he can completely not be afraid of any foreign enemy invasion, so now it is necessary to construct an imaginary enemy, if the imaginary enemy...

Chapter 739: Rain on August 6, Seven Years

This year's situation is not bad. Although there is a little more rain, it is not a storm, so the overall growth of the crops is still very good. Song Beiyun is very relieved to see that his small farm is full of lush greenery. There is some sense of accomplishment.

The same is true for the children. They regard everything they grow as treasures. If the wind is too strong, they will drag Song Beiyun to take care of those fragile seedlings overnight.

Gradually, they also began to get used to this kind of pastoral life, and even more so to the rule of distribution according to work. Even the most ugly third child began to get better gradually.

The research and development and production of the machine gun have been classified as the highest level of secrecy. Except for a few core figures, no one knows this secret, and its birth has also prompted a series of weapon design processes. The idlers of the Academy of Sciences will not Letting go of any opportunity to ponder, their current theory is that since guns can be designed in this way, can guns also work?

Song Beiyun didn't interfere with their thinking, because he really didn't understand this aspect. Except for the content of chemistry and medicine, his technical level of other things remained on the basis of middle and low-level theory, and many of them were even high school students. Part of the knowledge, and further things need to be pondered by these people themselves.

The current overall industrial R&D progress is within the plan, there is no breaking point, and there are no particularly obvious thresholds and bottlenecks. They are all consolidated and strengthened on the previous basis.

But even so, Song Beiyun is already very satisfied, because industry is a process of slow accumulation, and when it accumulates to a certain level, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, so he is not in a hurry at all.

Last year's Song Beiyun Science Award fell on the monk's head. The reward of [-] guan and the large-scale reports in the newspapers made many people red-eyed with envy.It is still unknown who will win the Science Award this year, but there are already many people secretly competing.

"Don't talk about national righteousness or realization of value, just put up the rewards, not only money rewards but also a significant increase in social status. Such people should gain both fame and fortune." Song Beiyun said in a conversation with the governor of Yongzhou. It is said like this: "As long as they can show things, they will give them whatever they want, beauties, gold and silver treasures, fame and status. And they can get a few more prizes, so that those who are worthy can compete for it. "

People, what is the purpose of becoming an official after stealing your head?In the end, it’s just for this, but being an official is risky, especially in the current environment, the risk of being an official is too great, but it’s different when it comes to technology. In such an era where everything is waiting for a breakthrough, maybe A whimsical idea can realize the value of life that originally took more than ten years to realize.

Everyone knows that there must be a brave man under a great reward, so the current incentive policy has largely stimulated a round of technological blowout.

Someone improves the loom and rewards [-] guan, then someone will improve the plow, improve the millstone, and improve the waterwheel in the next step. This is accumulation. When everything is accumulated and matured, a new skill tree will come naturally. It will be a matter of course.

Technology, to put it bluntly, is to use money, time and manpower to pile up little by little, and there is no rush.

But Song Beiyun also set a rule, that is, you can give money and time, but you must hand over the things when the agreement is reached. If you can't hand over a relatively satisfactory content, then what is waiting for them may not be cut Expenses.

"It's okay to brag, but the rule is that the blown leather has to be realized by me." Song Beiyun delivered a speech at the second Yongzhou leadership meeting: "The cowhide that can't be realized, either you don't open your mouth at the beginning or you just don't talk about it." Take responsibility for yourself."

Although Song Beiyun doesn't have any real job now, the Northwest King is the Northwest King, and his words are not much different from the imperial decree in the Northwest. Xing also specially set a secret system, saying that the entire Northwest military and government must be controlled by Song Beiyun.

That is to say, all the way from Chang'an to Yumen Pass has now become Song Beiyun's sphere of influence, even including Xixia who returned to the Song Dynasty.

This area already exceeds the current land area of ​​Song Dynasty. Song Beiyun protested three times, but it was useless.In his reply, Zhao Xing said that no one was willing to come to the northwest to take up the post of a feudal official, and the northwest was far away from Nanjing. Zhao Xing's hands were not so long for the time being, so it would be better to have two kings of one country, each leading one side.

This matter made Song Beiyun so angry that he cursed Zhao Xing and wrote a long letter of more than 5 characters, but Zhao Xing was not moved at all, and threw the stall out.

However, from the perspective of the overall situation, Zhao Xing's strategy is not wrong, because now the Northwest is isolated, connected to the Western Regions and grasslands at the top, Tubo and Uighur at the bottom, the Wanren Plateau on the left, and the hordes of heroes on the right.

It's okay that Song Beiyun is here, but God knows what will happen if someone with insufficient ability comes here.In Zhao Xing's words, if Da Song's spine is bent, all these years of hard work will be in vain.

And even if he didn't intend to prevent it, in fact, no one wants to come to this place to serve as the supreme officer.

As for why everyone knew that this ghostly place was originally Song Beiyun's lair, and it would be almost enough to come here to be gilded and go back to be promoted, but if you came to this place to be an officer, would you listen to the officer or Song Beiyun?Listen to the officer?No sir, you'll be beheaded if you make a mess.Listen to Song Beiyun?This is your first time as a human being, so why do you have to suffer this grievance?

It's best to be like Xia Song. After two years of work, he went back to Beijing and directly entered the center. He was comfortable and stable. He didn't mess with the Northwest King and didn't delay his bright future.

So this barren land in the northwest was left for Song Beiyun to enjoy himself. The beauty of the south of the Yangtze River was not enough. Who would want to go to that ghostly place.

But Song Beiyun's [-]-word reply was to inform him that the capital would hold a super-large-scale beauty pageant, and hoped that Chang'an would respond accordingly. After all, Chang'an was called the capital of all nations, and one round was selected and sent to the capital to be lively.

Zhao Xing was absurd, Song Beiyun simply tore up the tattered letter, and continued to run between the fields and the Chang'an workshop, not taking it seriously.

But who would have thought that just before the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Xing's special envoy would arrive. The special envoy almost didn't cry when he saw Song Beiyun, and Song Beiyun almost didn't cry when he learned of the purpose of the special envoy's visit.

Zhao Xing is really obsessed with the beauty pageant. Seeing that Song Beiyun hadn't replied for a long time, he knew in his heart that Song Beiyun was too lazy to talk to him, so he sent a special envoy here to send an order to Song Beiyun, saying, "I will do it in the capital." The sports meeting, the beauty pageant is up to you."

When encountering such an emperor, Song Beiyun really didn't have a good way sometimes, thinking about it... Since Zhao Xing's obsession is so big, let's do one, anyway, this time is idle, so just It's not bad to make a lively come out to liven up the atmosphere in the city.

So Song Beiyun called the officials in Chang'an who were in charge of this kind of sacrifice and activities to hold a meeting.

The content of the meeting is actually quite simple, the core is the beauty pageant, but if it is a direct beauty pageant, I am afraid no one will come, because the girls are somewhat reserved, and if they talk about the beauty pageant in such a hurry, they will be in a brothel Not much difference.

The key thing Zhao Xing wants is the beauty pageant of all nations. Not all ethnic groups are bold and cheerful, and there are quite a few shy ones.

Even before the baptism of a generation of Confucianism, many ethnic groups are not as enthusiastic and cheerful as girls of the Han nationality.

Moreover, the customs and habits of each nation must be taken into account. This matter is really not so easy to operate.

But since Zhao Xing wants it, then he wants it. Anyway, he doesn't choose a concubine, he just wants to see beautiful girls, so let's do it.

On the third day before the Dragon Boat Festival, a banner was hung on Zhuque Street, the most eye-catching street in Chang'an City, with the words "Welcome to sign up for Chang'an Image Ambassador" written in large characters.

The registration of this Chang'an image ambassador is not limited to men and women, nationality and origin. As long as they are 24 to [-] years old, they can sign up. After Chang'an's selection, they will have the honor to go to Nanjing to participate in the final. The winners of the final will be three award.

One: You can have dinner with Zhao Xing, Emperor of Song Dynasty.

Two: The winning bonus is [-] guan.

Three: In the next three years, we will represent Chang'an's image and participate in various activities.

As far as Song Beiyun knows, celebrity endorsements even appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Song Dynasty celebrity endorsements have become a trend, which means that the star dream has lasted for more than 1000 years.

As for representing the image of Chang'an, this is even more remarkable than a star. Even after three years, it will no longer be the case, but with the previous name, there is no problem with food and clothing for more than ten years, and it can even be used to become a celebrity. , Worry-free life, Fuze future generations.

At the beginning of this event, many people hesitated, fearing that it was a scam, but when they found out that this thing was really an official event, the number of people who signed up suddenly increased.

When I heard that foreigners can also apply, the whole Chang'an was boiling, and young men and women flocked to the registration points everywhere, and nearly [-] registration forms were received in just one day.

Some little girls, oh, that's really crazy. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, they can't even read a few words, but after signing up, they start thinking about what clothes to wear when they have dinner with the Song emperor.

Some even don't have a proper understanding of their appearance. Although they should not be judged by their appearance, it represents the appearance of a city after all. Those who have crooked mouths and squinting eyes and ugly appearances should not sign up.

But they didn't... This group of people made Song Beiyun return to the future world in a trance. These strange talents in the draft seemed to share an interesting soul.

Are there any good-looking ones?In fact, there are also. Song Beiyun turned a few points and found that there are really good-looking boys and girls, but how can I put it... Although it is hard to say that they are rare, they are definitely not many.Among the 3000 people on the first day, [-]% were crooked, and [-]% were good-looking.

Among the [-]% of people who are upright, [-]% of them just stop at being upright, and only [-]% of people fit Song Beiyun's concept of handsome men and beautiful women.

20.00% of 20.00%, that is to say, only four out of a hundred people can be counted as handsome men and beautiful women.

However, after this day's registration, Song Beiyun discovered an interesting thing, that is, most of the girls are there to have dinner with Zhao Xing, especially some women from wealthy families, they basically just stare at the dinner party with Zhao Xing This one goes.

But most of the boys came here with their eyes on the [-] guan bounty, and the rest of the literary and art youths took a fancy to Chang'an's endorsement.

"Master Song."

Not long after Song Beiyun returned to the small farm, when he was about to eat, an official in charge of the draft found him in a hurry.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Song Beiyun was holding a steamed bun, and there was half a bowl of pickles in the bowl at his feet: "It's so hurried."

"Master Song... why do you eat this?"

"I can't help it." Song Beiyun shook his head and said, "I don't have to work today. If I don't work, I only deserve to eat this. Leave me alone and talk about your business."

The official bowed his waist and said in a low voice: "Xixia... the little princess of the Xixia king Li's family has also signed up. This is a bit troublesome. Do you want to inform the Xixia king?"

"Hey, just pretend you don't know." Song Beiyun waved his hand: "We are not running a brothel. If we choose a spokesperson properly and can grow An Zhi's image, that is a matter of Guangzong Yaozu. What about his Princess Li?"

"Xiaguan knows." The official nodded in response, and then looked at the pickles in Song Beiyun's bowl: "Master Song...how about you go to Xiaguan's humble house for a light meal?"

"That's impossible." Song Beiyun pointed to the prince who was squatting not far away to guard his watermelon vine: "I set the rules, and I can't break the rules."

The official followed his hand to look over, and suddenly found that when the crown prince was squatting there, he got up covered in white sweat. Only then did he realize that Mr. Song in front of him was the crown prince Shaobao hand-picked, but there is no prince Taibao yet. In another two years, he will be the crown prince and Taibao.

"Since that's the case, the lower officials will know. Then, Mr. Song, the lower officials will resign."

"Be careful on the road." Song Beiyun waved his hand: "I may have to go again tomorrow, and try to get this matter done as soon as possible. Our Great Song Emperor is an anxious master."

To be honest, Song Beiyun really doesn't have much feeling for this beauty pageant, it's really Zhao Xing who thinks about it, who insists on tossing about this kind of thing, otherwise he won't do such a boring thing.

So for Song Beiyun, this matter was an errand to deal with, and he didn't pay too much attention to it.

However, many people regard this matter as the top priority in life, such as Murasaki Shikibu.

After she heard the news, she suddenly seemed to be on fire, and her mind was full of being the image spokesperson of Chang'an.

This is the city she loves so much, it can be said that it is the place of her faith, and being able to become the spokesperson of the place of faith is simply a monument on her life journey.

So she went directly to the princess mansion, but when she learned that Song Beiyun was in Beihai Hai's farm, she killed him without saying a word.

"Marshal, there is a woman looking for you outside."

"woman?"

Song Beiyun was telling a story to the little bastards. Hearing these two words, the older children all pricked up their little ears, and they concentrated on hearing some useful news so that they could go to the second child's mother to exchange for candy.

Chapter 740: On June 6th, Seventh Year, Song Beiyun was pervasive

"Please make sure I win the championship."

Zi Shibu's expression was very sincere, bowing so much that her head touched the upper of the shoe, it could be seen that she really valued this draft, although she didn't know what the purpose was.

But here comes the problem. Song Beiyun is just helping Zhao Xing in the beauty pageant. In order to satisfy the twisted fun of that bastard, if Zi Shibu really wins, he will send the "hating girl" handpicked by the emperor back to Zhao Xing. , that guy should not let it go, and may even have a second season.

In order to avoid wasting money and people, Song Beiyun definitely couldn't make this strange woman a winner.

"I want to represent Chang'an."

Zi Shibu had never spoken to a person in such a humble way. Even in the most difficult time, even when she met the emperor in the brothel, she always maintained the integrity of a literary young woman, even with some arrogance.

But today she really couldn't bear it anymore. In her opinion, any other person representing Chang'an would defile and despise this great city. Only a lotus-like woman like herself can be worthy of this city. Cities that have influenced the world and will continue to influence the world in the future.

But she knew that if she competed on her own, she would not have the slightest advantage, because she was not the most beautiful among the applicants, nor was she from the best family background.Her greatest strength is her own talents and knowledge, but it doesn't help, at least it seems so now.

So she, who has always been disdainful of going astray, finally had to humbly ask for help this time.

Still asking for a jerk.

"Oh, this is not easy."

Song Beiyun put his hands behind his back and let out a long sigh: "There are many people who want to get this quota, and they are all children of famous and noble families, but in the end there can only be one quota, how can this door be opened?"

Zi Shibu kept bending over and did not get up: "Please help me, I will repay you."

"It's not a matter of repaying or not. It's hard for me to decide. Why don't you try to sign up first?" Song Beiyun said in a serious official tone, although Zi Shibu was considered a Japanese little princess, and he was still human. The status of Genji's daughter-in-law is not low, but in comparison, a third-rate princess in Japan is really not worth opening this back door.

"Are you really not going to help me? Yun Sang."

"Oh..." Song Beiyun replied reflexively: "The cherry blossoms in my hometown are blooming."

"what?"

"It's nothing, just to remind you that the cherry blossoms in my hometown are blooming." Song Beiyun raised his hand: "Let's see off the guests."

"Please wait a moment." Zi Shibu leaned forward resolutely: "What do you need me to do to promise me?"

Song Beiyun shook his head and said, "I won't promise you anything, there is only one thing I can promise."

"What?" Murasaki Shikibu asked expectantly.

Song Beiyun pointed to the sky: "Heaven is a lesson, no one can open the back door in this matter, and anyone who wants to win depends on himself."

"Can……"

Zi Shibu still wanted to talk, but Song Beiyun had lost his patience, turned around and walked into the small vegetable garden, leaving Zi Shibu standing there alone in silence.

She regretted it a little now, because she originally had the opportunity to stay and work with Song Beiyun, but later because Song Beiyun was always away from Chang'an, she felt that it was meaningless, so she forgot about that job subjectivity.

Now that I think about it, if I could really work by his side at that time, even the most inconspicuous job, I guess it would not be so embarrassing to open my mouth now.

Although Zi Shibu can say anything she wants, and even wants to use the tricks she learned in the brothel, she still retains some dignity. It is really hard to say that kind of thing, but if the other party mentions it, she In fact, if you ask yourself, you will not refuse.
