The crisis of the Northern Han Dynasty has been fed back through some channels, and it is not something Song Jiu can control for the time being. As usual, in the morning court, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly issued an edict saying that the people in Jiangnan were hungry and gave them 200,000 hu of rice in Jiangnan to help the people in Jiangnan.

The Song Dynasty promoted the Chameng rice and a small amount of surrounding fields, and the grain began to increase significantly. This year, more people planted Chameng rice. It was mainly in the Jianghuai and Jinghu areas, close to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the freight was low. First, it was to buy the hearts of the people in the Southern Tang Dynasty, so as to avoid the situation like Bashu again. Including the previous edict that the people crossed the river to cut off firewood, secondly, it was not short of food. Moreover, the Southern Tang Dynasty paid tribute to the Song Dynasty every year and did not know how much food could be bought, so it was used as a feedback. It was a killing of multiple goals.

But Song Jiu still admired Zhao Kuangyin's actions very much. In his eyes, there was no distinction between the Southern Tang and Northern Han, and they were all Chinese. Moreover, the number of people was so small.

While he was imagining, he issued another edict to buy three thousand folding fans in the workshop of Song Jiufan.

Song Jiu held the tits in his hand and almost fell to the ground when he heard the edict read. When it was hot, all kinds of clothes appeared on the street, summer clothes were called prosperity, especially men. Their spring has arrived. Some people wore jackets like the original Song Dynasty, some wore robes, but some wore shirts, some wore T-shirts, and some even wore bags, and continued to wear suits despite the heat. This was leather clothes. Helplessly, it was definitely not good to make suits or Zhongshan suits, and jackets, and silk was definitely not good. Use linen cloth too rough, so you had to use leather instead. There were also cotton suits. The first cotton cloth was very expensive, and the second was wrinkled. They had to put a manual on it. After wearing it for a while, they used a kettle instead of iron. The cost of buttons was also very high.

But this doesn't matter, the price can be sold.

It was getting hot, and another workshop was quietly established. Folding fans were found in Japan. There was no one in the Song Dynasty. The materials of the fan shaft were not only bamboo, but also some high-quality wood. Ivory, jade, copper and iron, the fan surface had paper, and silk. There were exquisite embroidery or paintings on it.

Song Jiu thought about it at the beginning, but at that time he was just thinking about ordinary folding fans. Now the folding fans are many times higher, and they are sprayed with spices. Then he advertises. In the theater, the actors waved the folding fans and sang operas. First of all, it aroused the curiosity of the noble lady and never came out. The hunger marketing method, it came late on the first day of May, and it caused another robbery. So the streets were filled with young men and women wearing strange clothes and holding folding fans.

Many old-fashioned ministers always feel something is wrong, but they don’t know what’s wrong.

The outside incident made Zhao Kuangyin unable to bear it anymore, so he issued this strange edict and only gave him fifty cents a hand. The low-ranking ones in the store cost more than one hundred cents, and the high-ranking ones can cost a few cents. This is not called buying, but robbery. Peaceful robbery.

Zhao Kuangyin also added: "No second fan is allowed, this is what I rewarded to all the ministers."

Song Jiu opened his mouth and finally had to say, "Here."

It's the same as buying. I don't know how to spread this account.

In fact, his economy was very tight and he paid dividends. He got a lot of money, but he had to be responsible for taxes of more than 170,000 yuan. Only more than 80,000 yuan was distributed to him. This time, no one was jealous.

If Song Jiu did not hand over the profits of the glass workshop, a glass workshop would make a profit. Moreover, Song Jiu had several huge expenses to spend. One special burned money, I am afraid that it would be the most expensive cement test in history. I don’t know how much it would burn this year. The second is the money that Nayuping would cost. What kind of feedlots in the future will cost a lot of money. No matter what kind of experiments, the several workshops still have some meager profits, which are enough to ensure the cost of those small experiments. But there is also a terrible expense, planning the residential houses of the Two Rivers.

The economy is tense this year, and the economy will remain tense next year.

The remaining shares began to be divided, Song 930,000 yuan was deducted, and there were more than 100,000 yuan invested, the expenses of straw sheds, increased wine storage, and some of the small industries below. Last year's overdraft was deducted, and even 200,000 yuan was deducted, and more than 200,000 yuan was distributed. The Pan brothers received nearly 8,000 yuan, and Zhao Kuangyi received more than 10,000 yuan. Zhao Kuangyi's economic crisis was basically lifted.

Like this, Song Jiu may be able to recover next year.

Actually not, spending in the second half of this year will be huge numbers, but not many people know this.

Then they started to take Yuping, but they didn't invite the yamen. It would be outrageous for them to come over. The villagers of Lianghe who did not go to Shun Restaurant to have a drink last year had a large number of tables, more than 200 tables, but the actual cost was not much, less than 30,000 yuan. In fact, many villagers were still dizzy after eating it. The dishes inside were too expensive and sold so expensive. Why are there still people eating it? But they were still very warm. They should know that they only paid 100 quotas for two banquets. They even had this opportunity in their life to eat openly in Shun Restaurant.

The Song family also set off firecrackers. Although it was festive and lively, it was like closing the door and coming home to lively. No one was talking about it. Moreover, everyone could see everything Yuping did. But in addition to the name and six certificates of the media, Yuping had everything she should have. She also held a small ceremony at home. The money spent was also scary. Yuping still kept the financial power. Yuping wanted to hand it over to Pan Lian'er, but Song Jiu did not let her hand it over. Don't look at this housekeeper, it was not so easy to be a good person. So that day, Li's mother was in a state of sorrow and joy, and she burst into tears.

After the Song Jiu was in full swing, he went to the Pan family to call the Pan family brothers together. Pan Mei and his wife were not there, Pan Wei was studying in the bookstore, and Pan Weiqing was taken by Er Niang, and no one cared about it, so the Pan family brothers often ran to the Song family.

Arrive at the Song family.

First, I asked someone to notify the manager of the garment store and give orders to the court and the buying matter. This is because Hezhou comes, and it has nothing to do with the workshop. It costs fifty cents and a fan, which is not even enough for a small amount. Then I chat with the Pan brothers and asked first: "How much does it have in your hands?"

"Five or six thousand silks."

“It’s used so quickly?”

"I paid my sister a lot of money and silk to do her dowry together. I didn't have any money and I also raised many servants. I never paid any salary or other expenses. I paid more than a thousand stakes in the first place."

"There are no other expenses in the future, right?"

"It's probably gone. My parents have my father's salary, and there are some industries at home. We also have some compensation."

"Don't use this money, we will send the manager to build the sea boat."

"Sea Boat?"

"The main thing is to sell glazed glass. First, hire two ships to carry luxurious glazed glass products to Hangzhou. Some are sold in Hangzhou, and some are then hired from Hangzhou to Quanzhou and Guangzhou."

"Where are so many glazed products?"

"I've been prepared long ago. Otherwise, I would have spent so much money, so what I got. Brother-in-law, look at Yuping's expression. I spent so much money. Have she ever been anxious?"

Yuping sneer and laughed.

"What's going on?" Pan Weigu asked in confusion.

Song Jiu explained that there are several types of glass products, one type of glass specially made for vegetable greenhouses. It is also the cheapest glass. It is only sold to customers who grow vegetables, with the lowest yield. It was the end of last winter at the handover and it had nothing to do with Hezhou, but Song Jiu did not make much money.

The second is high-end door and window glazing. Because Hezhou industry drives, many families, including some people in foreign counties, have begun to use it. It is also the largest part of the glazing products.

Various utensils, including lamps, and even the imperial court bought a batch of glass lamps, various wine glasses, tea cups, dishes, vases, thermoses developed last winter, etc. This part also sold a lot.

Then to high-end glass, it not only includes glass, but also various crafts, calligraphy and paintings. Gold, silver, jade, ivory, with high additional costs and slow production speed. It was launched partly, but not much. Finally, it was various mirrors. In order to earn money from betrothal gifts, Song Jiu once made various mirrors crazily. Later, he saw that money was not so nervous, so he began to shrink gradually. It also had disadvantages, slow speed, and if the profit was not ruthless and raised, it was also worthless.

Many mirrors are circulating now, including the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wu Yue and Northern Han Khitan, which may have been circulated to Dashi. However, the farther away, the fewer mirrors are mostly within the Song Dynasty and are mainly capital cities.

In a unique business, Liuli opened a store and had few zero sales. She put out the samples and then negotiated and picked up the goods at the warehouse. She could not buy whatever she wanted, but what she produced in the Liuli workshop to buy. Although some products were placed with samples, they might not be able to buy them. Orders can usually be placed for one month. Song Jiu did not place the order for a long time, and it was Hezhou.

Because all the products are short of, no one thinks of mirrors. Mirrors are short of, and doors and windows are not short of glazed glass?

However, Song Jiu stared at the account secretly. In fact, in February, he estimated how much he could share. Therefore, he deliberately made various mirrors at that time, without gorgeous decorations, only wrapped in a copper edge, and stored a total of 210,000 mirrors.

The two brothers could not buy it in the workshop, and they also received orders from the store, and they would give them what money they would give. Then they sent dozens of capable subordinates and fellow villagers, as well as a few clever managers and students to board the boat and leave the capital immediately. They went to Hangzhou first, not to sell it to the people of Wu and Yue, but to sell it to the fan. This was unnecessary and the price was shouted at a sky-high price. And they were not given to them at once, while discussing business, and looking for a solid sea boat, or in two batches, afraid that the ship would have nothing to do. Then they went to Quanzhou to make the same decision. Fujian now belongs to the Song Dynasty, a Song Jiu person, one of Pan Mei's son, and Fujian officials did not dare to neglect them, so they asked them to help, find some locals to take the boat, and then go to Guangzhou. Otherwise, the Southern Han and the Song Dynasty were in a bad relationship, and they were not traded, but arrested. They were still looking for a fan.

These fans have been drifting on the sea for a long time. In his previous lives, they often saw their property records of huge millions, millions of dollars, etc. Compared with them, the merchants in the capital can only be regarded as local buns for the time being. But they cannot be found in one place, and even try to find more merchants in each place. If there are too many, it will be worthless.

These more than 200,000 mirrors can be sold at a sky-high price, and no matter how much money you make, as long as you don’t say it, others won’t know it, let alone be jealous.

"Okay, let's do it right away."

"No rush, you can't neglect the construction of sea boats."

"Brother-in-law, that's not necessary."

"You don't understand, this is a long-term road for the sake of your descendants," Song Jiu touched Pan Lian'er's belly.

"Little sister, do you have it?"

"Brother, what are you talking nonsense?"

"Why did my brother-in-law touch your stomach?"

Red clouds flew on Pan Lian'er's face and gave Song Jiu a blank look. Song Jiu said, "Not now, can there be no in the future?"

"Brother-in-law, tell me." Pan Weide, Song Jiu was going to touch him. He was touching his wife's belly. What else could Pan Weide do now? He could only pretend that he hadn't seen it.

Song Jiu continued to explain that it was very strange to mirrors. If you don’t know the basis, it can be more expensive than gems, gold, and it will gradually turn from gems to silver. Although it will not turn into sausage, it will sooner or later become pork. Song Jiu did not dare to sell it in the Song Dynasty. It was their business for merchants to sell it. In the future, the people would scold them and scold them. They should not complain about Song Jiu. But what do overseas countries do? Like Goryeo and Japan may not have any handfuls now. Time is in these few years. Once the Maritime Bureau is officially established, there will inevitably be more ships, and it will be no longer surprising to bring them more. And there is another advantage. Mizhou Port is very close to them, and if it follows the wind direction, it will be drifted for more than a day.

There are more Song Jiuwei, who said that there are about a few things in Japan, silver, sand gold. Japanese knives, fans, wood, and fans. Song Jiu did not believe that they had their own fan exquisite. Japanese knives may be sharp, and there may be some alloys in the middle, which can be developed sooner or later. They are far cheaper than it. Wood is impossible, cost factor. The imperial court did not prohibit logging, and one pulled from the sea. I don’t know how to pull it to the Central Plains, and the other went downstream from the Jing River and Wei River.

, How far will the cost of the two be drifted quickly to the capital? It is impossible to make money when transported. There are only silver and gold, and there are very few goods that can actually trade with Japan. If it is too early, it can be exchanged a little, and if it is too late, it can be exchanged without any change. Unless it is the same, it is slaves. This is possible. The use of gunpowder and pit mines are seriously lacking in labor. Many bad things have happened in various places, including the mine pits of the imperial court. If a large number of slaves come over, the contradiction can be resolved quickly.

Secondly, there is very little gold and silver in Korea, but there is one thing, that is ginseng and some precious medicinal materials. Whether you sell or buy it, go early and get it early.

Maybe other specialties, but the sea boats are restricted.

Song Jiu was not clear about the sea ship. Maybe he could see that in the first half of the year, he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and smashed one million dollars. He slowly based on the principles of materials and mechanics, he might be able to transform a better ship in more than ten years. But that was impossible. Song Jiu had no funds and no time.

He deliberately summoned Wu Yue ship craftsmen in the Sansi. Several ship craftsmen said that the sea ships in Guangzhou and Quanzhou were the best, and the skills of the Tang Dynasty were second to the West, the big food ship, and the South China Sea ship was not good. Then he arrived at the Wu Yue ship and the South China Sea ship. It was different from what Song Jiu thought.

There were some large ships in the Yangtze River, which were two thousand stone giant boats mentioned by Song Jiu, but that was on the Yangtze River. This kind of boat also had many disadvantages. It had to swell strong winds and use the sails to activate the boat. If there was no wind, the oars could not drive the boat and the fiber could not be pulled. Including Wu Yue, a real river boat was still between one thousand and three or four hundred materials. Although the freight was small, the freight would be a little more expensive and the operation was simple. When there was no wind, it could be replaced by oars. When the rope was going up against the current, the rope could be pulled away.

Song Jiu did not understand this material, and the craftsman explained it again. One material is ten square feet, which is a unit of volume, not a unit of weight. Song Jiu understood this. Ten square feet are ten square feet, which are ten cubic cubes, and a few cubic meters of zero point 29. But this is not the real load capacity. There is also a safety line. It must be based on the shape of the ship, the width of the river boat, and it can be multiplied by zero point 50:67. Then one material is from zero point 15 to zero point 2 tons, which is about one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty tons, and it can be loaded with more than two hundred tons. This kind of ship is common in Song Jiu, and there are many on the Bian water. There are also sea boats, which are relatively narrow and have stricter load requirements, and can only be multiplied by zero point 4. Then a thousand materials can only be equivalent to one hundred and twenty tons. If it is replaced by stone, a river boat has more than three stones, and a sea boat is equivalent to two five stones.

I quickly settled the accounts in my heart, and continued to listen to the shipmaker's report in my ears. I also said that Quanzhou had the technology to build a sea ship with 5,000 materials, with a space of nearly 1,500 cubic meters and more than 600 tons, and a little load of 7 or 800 tons. If I were not afraid of death, I could load one, two, two,000 tons. But if I was loaded on one, four,500 tons and one, five,000 tons, it was not that I was not afraid of death, but that I was sent to death directly. Wu Yue could only build a sea ship with 1,000 materials, about 1,000 to 300 tons. It could carry two to three hundred people, of course, it would be unpredictable to pretend to be slaves, and a thousand slaves could also load them.

Let’s continue to talk about it, and building a sea boat is far from building a river boat. A sea boat like Quanzhou can cost tens of thousands of dollars. The cost of five sea boats worth 1,000 to 2,000 yuan by the court, which requires craftsmen to try to build, can cost nearly two dollars per material. It will take more than a year to build it. Then it is launched. The direction cannot be identified on the sea, so it can only run along the coastline, or identify various islands, and cannot be close to it, otherwise it will encounter reefs at any time. Therefore, skilled old sailors must sail, that’s it. If you go out ten times of the sea, at least once the boat capsizes and dies.

When Song Jiu heard this, he showed them something, but at first he didn't understand it. Song Jiu asked them to take it and walk around. After walking, several boatmen were overjoyed.

In fact, it has been handed over to the army, and the land marching also requires it, that is, the compass.

As long as it is available, the accident rate will drop by half.

But in general, the ship is not as big as Song Jiu imagined, and it is even less likely that the legendary ship of Zheng He who voyages to the West would appear. If the Wu and Yue ships were smaller, such ships were destined to be able to traffic valuables.

The Pan brothers still don’t understand very much.

Song Jiu said: "Brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, are there few good things? There is still one good thing on the river bank."
