Chapter 213: Make wedding dresses for others?

In the area of ​​Hangzhou, Su Shi is considered a chairman, Zhao Xing is considered a ceo, Gao Qiu is considered an administrative director, and Qin Guan is considered a public relations manager. He mainly establishes the corporate image of Su Shi Group through eating, drinking and having fun. Yang Zuren is the supervisor of this group. The supervisor is asleep. If you want to complain about the ruling group headed by Su Shi on the land in Hangzhou, even in the Song Dynasty, it is a joke.

Gao Qiu handed Zhang's paper to Zhao Xing and persuaded him: "I knew it was a disaster, so please let him go quickly. It is too dangerous to stay by your side, such as the crossbows in your garden..."

Zhao Xing took the complaint about his case and was amused: "Those crossbows are nothing. Shen Kuo also has crossbows at home. He said that he also tested the crossbows at Wangshan at home. Besides, there are ten archers living in my garden. You forgot that most archers in Hangzhou are held by my students. It is legal for them to hold crossbows. I have 100 'generals' in my castle. They hold crossbows, which is legal, so I am not afraid."

Gao Qiu smiled bitterly: "Stop causing trouble. Shen Kuo's mouth open, he would just say it casually. It's not a prison disaster. Do you guess he will tell others the crossbow he owns? It's only you! But he told others that you have a crossbow, will he say that he also has it?"

Zhao Xing breathed a long sigh and said helplessly: "Well, you are right. Even if it is a perfunctory investigation, I can't afford to let him go. Unfortunately, I originally planned to entrust him to do a lot of work."

As he was speaking, the bell for the end of get out of class rang, Zhao Xing sighed and invited Gao Qiu: "Go down and take a look."

Zhao Xing and Gao Qiu walked along the stairs to the second floor. The carpenters were nailing wooden fences beside the stairs on the second floor. The children rushed to the entrance of the stairs. When they saw this scene, they all regretfully blocked the entrance of the stairs. Shen Kuo walked over with a gloomy face, holding a large stack of files under his armpits, drove the children back to the classroom. When the children dispersed, he handed the thick stack of manuscripts under his armpits to Zhao Xing and said blankly: "My book is finished, you can publish it for me."

Zhao Xing took the manuscript, glanced at the name on the cover, and said in surprise: "I've finished writing? Is "Dream of Dreams" finished? It's only been two years?"

The muscles on Shen Kuo's face hopped for a moment, and without answering, he turned around and left. Zhao Xing hurriedly called him: "Mr. Mengxi, Mrs. Zhang has come to see you several times. Recently, she went to the government office to sue me and said that I will put you under house arrest. If this happens, I can't keep Mr. Shen anymore... Please forgive me, I will send someone to pack my luggage for Mr. Shen, and I will take you home at noon today."

The muscles on Shen Kuo's face were twitching violently. After a long time, he asked again: "What is Li Ren's purpose for imitating the water transportation instrument station?"

Zhao Xing replied carefully: "Transmission, I am very interested in the mechanical transmission device on it. After clarifying the working principle of these transmission devices, it will be a great improvement to the mechanical level of the Song Dynasty."

Shen Kuo asked with a gloomy face: "Where is Li Ren going to use it?"

Zhao Xing replied: "For example, textile machinery, the transmission machinery on this water transport instrument platform is much more complicated than the current textile machinery. If we understand its transmission effect, we can spin it through hydraulic machinery. In this way, the spinning machine will be day and night, and one or two people can take care of dozens of such machinery. That would be a big fortune. Is Mr. Shen interested?"

The stiff expression on Shen Kuo's face relaxed: "Okay, I will help you complete this matter, please wait for my letter."

"In this way, I will send a few more people to serve Mr. Chen and ask them to help Mr. Chen make records, okay?"

Shen Kuo nodded, then walked down the stairs without saying a word and walked towards the castle gate. Two Japanese girls who were serving him followed him in small steps to the castle gate. Shen Kuo turned around and told him a few words, and the two Japanese girls bowed and said goodbye. Then, Shen Kuo walked out of Jasmine Garden alone.

Zhao Xing stood on the second floor, watching Shen Kuo's figure sank into the city gate, then looked down at the manuscript in his hand, and said to Gao Qiu in surprise: "Two years, he has been dismissed from office and returned home for only two years. He has actually finished writing this "Dream of Dreams and Bi Tan", which is simply shocking."

"Dream of Dreams" is a masterpiece that involves all levels of the Song Dynasty. Shen Kuo was completed in such a short time. On the other hand, this also reflects that Shen Kuo's only pleasure when he was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown was writing.

"It seems that it's really done right to assign him a few clerks. Look, the writing idea is simply a fast gunner." Zhao Xing felt a little proud.

Zhao Xing thought of printing plates from books, from water transport instruments to hydraulic cotton spinning machines. With hydraulic cotton spinning machines, he then thought of water mills, hydraulic stamping machines, and then his thoughts jumped to windmills, wind mills, etc. All of this comes from one principle - power transmission.

Hydraulic stamping machine was invented. What if the water conservancy equipment was converted into a steam stamping machine?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xing smiled on the corner of his mouth - Shen Kuo's potential is far from being explored, so the children need to be watched tightly.

The children have no scheming and no conflict of interest with Shen Kuo. They are just fascinated by Shen Kuo's erudition. In Shen Kuo's interactions, the old man's depression was slightly relieved. Perhaps, studying the work of a hydroloom can also focus his attention on his strengths.

All of this will more or less prolong Shen Kuo's life.

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and whispered to Chen Yiyi to send a contract to Shen Kuo's home. The contract stated that he invested in sponsoring Shen Kuo's research on hydro-looms. Once the research was successful, Shen Kuo could use his research results to occupy 30% of the shares of the weaving machinery factory.

"Enterprise is the greatest temptation. With this contract, I believe Shen Kuo will hold his mouth tight. When Zhang saw this contract, she would make money, so she would be less forced to Shen Kuo," said Zhao Xing.

Gao Qiu also agreed: "Yes, with this contract, Zhang will not pursue Shen Kuo's days in the fort again. Also, the person who gave the contract simply stayed in Mengxi Garden to help Shen Kuo conduct research, and stared at him by the way, so don't let him talk around."

Chen Yiyi quickly summoned people according to Gao Qiu's intention. Zhao Xing and Gao Qiu walked and chatted. The two came to the water pavilion in the yard to sit down. Gao Qiu looked up at the statue standing beside the water pavilion and sighed: "Leaving people, I'm afraid we will be idle this year. I just received a report from the court. The court announced the "Order of Release of the Husband". All work needs to be stopped this year."

To let the husband go, the "husband" here does not refer to the "husband", but to the "civilian husband".

"What is the amount of expelling husband?" Zhao Xing asked.

"160,000, 140,000 people are servants, and 20,000 people are hired. The imperial court ordered that when this long drought is long, the people will be trapped. The major battle will be abandoned to comfort the public. It is said that all prefectures and counties will be released, and all the people will be released.

Post Huang said: 'It is time for farming to be cultivated, and the farmer's hope is to be one year old, around the cold food industry. Now the work will be started on February 12th, and the husband will be back in the first month.'"

Zhao Xing knew the original "The Release Order". In the first month, due to long drought, the water level of the Yellow River dropped to the lowest level in history. In the Song Dynasty, the north of the Yellow River was bifurcated and there were two large tributaries. This was originally done to divert the Yellow River and reduce floods. However, due to the continuous drought, one of the Yellow River tributaries dried up this year.

Based on this, Liang Tao, the chief censor, and Zhu Guangting, the counselor, suggested "stop the construction of the Yellow River". For this reason, after a quarrel, some people firmly opposed it because building the Yellow River was an opportunity to rebate. Liang Tao and others cut off their wealth, but the final result of the dispute was the "Order of Release of the Husband".

The Zhengshitang believes that droughts have been going on for years, and people should be allowed to recuperate at this time to restore people's livelihood.

"The brain energy of the Lords of Yan and Yan in the Zhengshi Hall is no greater than a catfish." Zhao Xing picked a newly-haired tender leaf and rushed it in his hand, saying sarcastically: "It doesn't rain. Let the people go home. What should the people eat? Do they eat the soil in the mud? At this time, the people should be organized, give the people a bite of food, and let the people do some work with work for relief. Unfortunately..."

Gao Qiu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

To be honest, we cannot blame the officials of the Zhengshi Hall, because they want the people to rest. For example, the main reason for this incident was Li Wei, the River Superintendent. This person recruited farmers and only paid 200 cents of wages to the farmers. The Zhengshi Hall sent someone to investigate and found that the people had to subsidize 100 cents of river work in it. Therefore, the Zhengshi Hall was angry and accused Li Wei of spending 6,000 guan a year to repair the Yellow River, but it caused the people of a county to suffer. Therefore, the "Order of Release of the Husband".

"Li Wei has too little money," Zhao Xing commented: "Although it only took more than a month to build the Yellow River, what can 6,000 guan do? The money allocated from above is too little."

Gao Qiu replied with a smile: "I think Li Wei has a few Zhao Liren who knows how to manage. We have worked for more than two years, spending hundreds of thousands of yuan. Li Wei has only hired 200,000 people. Of course, he has to save money.

However, the edict: The work will be carried out on February 12th, and it will be held in January. Today is twenty-seven, and we only have ten days left to disperse the people and leave people. We must make plans early.”

The edict required that all civilians be dismissed in one month starting from February 12th. This means that Zhao Xing only has about ten days left.

When the Song Dynasty sent farmers, they did not let them go home with an order. Emperor Taizong stipulated that when the farmers were dismissed, each person would be given 200 cents of money and given a certain amount of rice as compensation. 200,000 people would be given one by one, and it was indeed time-consuming.

Zhao Xing touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Can we do something? For example, the "Wuhu Release Order" stipulates that the farmers are scattered, but the main force of our work is the scattered soldiers, which should not be included. What's more, the wages we paid in Hangzhou are enough, and the scattered soldiers can be considered as supporting their families. If they really want to be scattered, what does they make a living?"

Gao Qiu persuaded: "Li Ren, don't be too stubborn in this situation. You can't build a large-scale project this year, even if it is done by the wing soldiers, it is inappropriate."

Zhao Xing looked full of regret: "In two months, in two months, every village will be connected to stone roads. Unfortunately... Does this mean that the teacher's intention to dig a sea canal will not be approved."

Gao Qiu also followed Zhao Xing's appearance, grabbed a tender leaf, rubbed it in his hand and replied: "Of course, the news just now came that Mr. Su's memorial was beaten back on Liangzhe Road. Officials have already hinted to me that if Mr. Su planned to bypass Liangzhe Road and submit a memorial directly, they would impeach."

Zhao Xing threw down the broken leaves in his hand and sighed: "This also means that there is no need to think about the Jiaozhou Grand Canal."

"Of course!" Gao Qiu answered very firmly.

In fact, what Su Shi did in Hangzhou is the so-called "stone-popping effect". He first used the government's investment to invest a sum of money in the market with severe disasters and used this money to stimulate economic recovery. The Jiaozhou Grand Canal mentioned by Zhao Xing in the past was also based on this idea. In this era of disasters, one of the large-scale investment projects was urgently needed. But...

Fan E, who initially advocated the Grand Canal of Jiaozhou, had been demoted to Huangzhou and served as the governor of Huangzhou. Now Li Chang has also been demoted. However, the operation of the Grand Canal of Jiaozhou has not actually subsided. Since Fan E proposed this idea, private capital has been calculating the possible income of the Grand Canal... But now, a tributary of the Yellow River has dried up, and the only tributary that has shallow water cannot be used for large ships, so many merchants have begun to give in.

The release of "The Release Order" blocked the last way out of the Jiaozhou Grand Canal from the official level. This grand plan seems to have no room for profit except for military significance.

"No, the roads in Hangzhou must be completed. It is a mountain of nine lee. It cannot be separated from the last basket of soil. If he does not allow the big project, we will dismember it. Anyway, there is still a project payment. The roads along the way have been planned, so they will be asked to subcontract the land and subcontract the land to individuals, and divide the road construction project into small sections.

Also, if you go to my teacher and ask him to submit a memorial to temporarily disband the wings. It is said that after a major disaster in Hangzhou, the population has dropped sharply, and the people of 200,000 wings are unable to bear the burden. It is better to dismiss them into the people according to the "Release of Husbands". The memorial also requires the teacher to guarantee that the wings will not be paid by the court to dismiss these wings, and that the court will be guaranteed to increase taxes in the next year.

At the end of the memorial, we should also emphasize: the faster this matter, the better. Now we will dismiss the wingers as soon as possible. They can still catch up with the farming. When the farming season is completed, these people will be able to support themselves."

Gao Qiu was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Next year, the teacher's term will come. You are making wedding dresses for others."

Zhao Xing pointed to his castle: "This is my hometown, I am seeking blessings for my hometown."

After Gao Qiu said that, he threw down the broken leaves in his hand, stood up and said, "We can also repair the road after the delay in the back and forth of official documents."

"Okay, go find some memorials for the teacher. I will summon Hangzhou gentry to discuss the issue of resettlementing them. Let's take action separately."

Gao Qiu left in a hurry, and Zhao Xing immediately sent people to summon the gentry he knew everywhere, and began to discuss the issue of resettlement of the rank of the rank.

In fact, Zhao Xing was prepared for the resettlement of the wing. According to his early calculations, about 70,000 people could be placed on the idle wasteland near Hangzhou, and the rest required the efforts of the gentry in Hangzhou.

In the largest conference room of the Blue House, Zhao Xing placed a hundred drawings in the center of the long conference table. These drawings lined up into a long long dragon, and there seemed to be no end. Zhao Xing was still placing one by one. It was not until the drawings filled the table that he returned to the first seat and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"Everyone has read the drawings on the table. I still have some drawings here that cannot be placed. Some people can understand these drawings and know what they are doing. But it doesn't matter if you can't understand them. There are always those you can understand. And I can go back and explain them in detail."

Zhao Xing picked up a stick, waved his hand, and pointed the tip of the stick on one of the drawings: "This picture is a spinning machine drawing, which can drive more than 30 weaving shuttles, and the power can be made of hydraulic power, wind power or accumulation.

This picture is a new type of agricultural tools - a disc plow; this picture is a new type of horse-drawn carriage, a new type of windmill mill... These drawings are maps I have collected for many years, including mechanical and equipment from various industries in the Song Dynasty. Some of these maps are from Deng Yufu, Mizhou, and some are from Mr. Mengxi Shen Kuo, but please rest assured that I have obtained their permission.

This is carefully selected from hundreds of books. Choosing them will greatly improve the production of your workshops... You all know that I am adjacent to the sea and backed by a canal in Hangzhou. It has abundant water resources and is suitable for the development of various workshops. Especially for textiles, cotton everywhere can converge here through the canal, sold to all directions, or even transported overseas. So this convenience is not something you can get elsewhere.

Today, I launched the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce here, with the amount of one gold coin. The condition is to help me resettle about 150,000 yuan in wards. These are strong laborers. For every person who agrees to resettle, I will introduce him to the drawings on the table and let him use those idle laborers to start workshops to make a living.

In a small workshop, three or five people can work, and it is enough to have a spare room in the home yard. No matter if you eat one person or one hundred, you can choose the drawings on the table.

Someone said, why don’t you do such a good project by yourself? Everyone, there are more than 300 projects here, and a total of more than 100,000 workers are required. I have done it alone. First, I don’t have that much energy, and second, I am afraid that the censor will impeach.

However, you can't take away this output in vain. Every person who runs a workshop, I have to occupy a little share, not much, only 15%. One% of them add makeup to my concubine, and half of it... Everyone knows that Master Fuzun has opened a Guangji Academy for free drug use. I plan to give that five to Guangji Academy and help Guangji Academy open a pharmaceutical factory, and make effective prescriptions verified by Guangji Academy into finished medicines, which are sold with small profits.

You also know that the term of office of the Mansion will be over next year, so I don’t want others to interfere in Guangjiyuan. I plan to take over the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce in the future. The chamber of commerce is full of Hangzhou rich gentry and villagers, so I will not treat the villagers badly. Moreover, there is a 5-cent bonus every year. I think that in this way, the people of Hangzhou will definitely thank you for your grace.

Someone said that after taking these drawings, the house has no money to open a workshop. No problem, as long as you have a free room at home. I secretly reveal an inside story to everyone. It is said that several big sea merchants are preparing to establish a joint ticket shop to exchange and deposit. If you don’t have money, there is a place, the ticket shop can give you loans... Don’t know the loan? Let me explain..."

After Zhao Xing finished explaining, the gentry could no longer sit still. They lay on the table, studied each drawing one by one, and even fought for a certain drawing. Zhao Xing once again brought the meeting back to the main point.

"Everyone, please be quiet. The purpose of the establishment of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce is to unify the strength of our Hangzhou business community. In order to prevent vicious competition within the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce will coordinate everyone's production capacity and production amount... Of course, this is the work after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce. Now, we first set up the Chamber of Commerce and then vote for deacons. The internal affairs will be done by the deacons in the future. The first thing the deacons must do is to set up rules so that each of us can implement them according to the rules.

Sorry, I need to explain, because I have to account for 15% of the shares for anyone who takes the drawings. Of course, I don’t take this shares in vain, because I need to teach everyone how to operate and how to use the machine.

So I'm not polite. I don't hold a position in the deacon, but the accounting of the chamber of commerce should be assigned by me, so there is no need to discuss this."

The squire in the hall immediately sat down and began to form gangs to elect deacons...

Su Shi's memorial was handed over to Liangzhe Road. Liangzhe Road did not delay at all, and the memorial was quickly delivered to Bianjing. The approval of Bianjing was also very fast. Empress Dowager Gao responded to her idol and immediately agreed to all Su Shi's requests. After the memorial was passed to Hangzhou, the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce was officially established, and along with the Industrial Bank officially opened.

With the support of banks and chambers of commerce, 200,000 wingmen were quickly diverted, more than 50,000 wingmen were diverted to various places, and the remaining 20,000 were absorbed by the rich senators as marquis. Five hundred people who were good at farming were drawn out of the 200,000 wingmen who were good at farming were moved into the farming farm established by Zhao Xing near the Israeli village. Their official business was to raise ostrichs with African and Malay slaves, and they also formed various agronomic groups to guide the 50,000 wingmen who did farming work to master farming techniques.

The summer of Hangzhou was rushing to the bustle of the year, with more than 100,000 people sprinkled. The whole of Hangzhou was full of people who built large-scale construction. They neatly renovated their houses with bricks and tiles and built small workshops in their own gardens. The small workshops covered with stars were quickly put into production. The goods they produced were quickly absorbed by Zhao Xing's loach stack and then transported to all parts of the country.

The prosperity of commerce has stimulated the development of the transportation industry. As the roads in Hangzhou have been vigorously renovated, even in the rainy season, people push carts to transport goods, and they don’t feel that the road is difficult. Therefore, the carriages and horses in Hangzhou have also begun to rise, and the loach stacks have also begun to expand.

"It's a prosperous place." At the end of the autumn of this year, Qin Guan finally paid attention to government affairs. He held his wine glass on the roof of the Blue House and looked at the pier near the castle with a telescope. He sighed and said, "Li Ren, your pier has expanded again, and it has expanded three times this year. The pier is now eight miles away."

Zhao Xing was a little frowning, and he shook his wine glass and complained: "It's free. It took me a thousand guan to repair this wharf. They were forced by people from the Chamber of Commerce. They said that with this castle, the bandits dare not come to rob, so they insisted that I expand the wharf... In fact, this wharf is not safe. There are tides every year, and they cannot be used during the tide. I don't know what they think."

Gao Qiu shook his legs beside him and replied: "They asked, just don't allow it, but why are you willing? You must have taken someone's money."

Qin Guan said happily: "Of course, I heard that all newly established factories have 10% of the shares. How can you not make any effort after taking the money?" Several people were chatting, and Mrs. Wang and Liao Xiaoxiao climbed up to the platform on the roof. When they saw these three people, they immediately rebuked: "Why are you three here to hide from leisure? Government affairs? I remember that today is not a market day, nor is it a festival?"

Zhao Xing and Gao Qiu jumped up, and Qin Guan was still sitting, just sitting in a straight position. Gao Qiu quickly explained: "Where is Lord Yang, Lord Yang? Today is the day to bet on the money to get lucky, and this is presided over by Lord Yang."

Since this year, the Song Dynasty divided the taxes into spring and autumn. The taxes collected each quarter were compiled into a list, and the magistrates in each state were responsible for shipping. In this way, other officials had to avoid the day when the money was detained. This is why Zhao Xing and others hid on the roof to bask in the sun.

Cheng Shuang also climbed onto the stage and quietly sent Zhao Xing a small note. Mrs. Wang did not pay attention to Cheng Shuang's actions and continued to ask: "How is the tax situation this year?"

Zhao Xing held the paper ball in his palm and rushed to say, "It's not a small good, but a big good. Before the teacher took office, the current tax in Hangzhou was only more than 80,000 yuan a year, but in half this year, the current tax has risen to 120,000 yuan. However, winter is here, and people are afraid that the current tax should be less."

Mrs. Wang bowed to everyone and said, "It's all thanks to everyone's efforts, especially the people who are separated. Thank you."
Chapter completed!
