Chapter 1,493 Big Hit

Su You said: "Yes, so we must first determine the responsibilities, have someone do this, and then let them supervise the prefectures and counties to prepare for disasters and drought."

"In fact, it is not difficult to fight drought now. As long as the court is willing to do something, the rest can be solved with science and engineering."

"How to solve?"

Su You said: "Today, the country's groundwater is very rich. Except for some areas in Shaanxi, the groundwater level in other places is also very high. Wind-driven wells, animal-drawn wells, and river hydraulic water-drawing machines can be promoted on a large scale."

"There are also drought-resistant and high-yielding crops from Dongsheng Prefecture. The government can provide seeds and arrange for government farmers to plant them."

"Machines are very mature in Xiangzhou, and crops have been cultivated on the farm of the two eldest princesses and me. The imperial court can allocate a fund to take care of this matter."

Sima Guang asked: "Is it still too late?"

Su You said: "Within enough time, factories in Shangzhou, Lanzhou, Zhengzhou, Xuzhou, and Yunzhou all have this capability, and the drought in the north can be solved."

"Before I returned to Beijing, I passed by Zhengzhou and explained the matter to the Shi family. After half a year, we have prepared 3,000 sets of well equipment and 500 pot camel machines."

Sima Guang felt ashamed: "Four years of harvest have brought great joy to the world. Only Mingrun kept reminding the government and the public to prepare for disasters and made so many preparations."

"Hebei was flooded in September. Fortunately, there were sufficient materials in various places, so it did not become a serious problem. If the drought is not alleviated this winter, there will be disasters in the spring."

"Fan Wenzhenggong said that one should worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness. Who can give up enlightenment and nourish them?"

Su You quickly thanked him and said: "The late emperor donated the money to the world, and your majesty is newly established, and it is about to change the Yuan Dynasty. Sima Gong and Lu Gong are also new to the court. If there is no disaster, the significance is not only in farming."

"I guess there will be some chapters to the remonstrance and how to control the influence. I have to think about it, so I'll go find my elder brother first."

Sima Guang looked at Su You's back and said to Lu Gongzhu: "If the science of science and engineering can be of great use and enable the Song Dynasty to survive disasters, wouldn't it be the most benevolent study?"

Lu Gongzhu shook his head: "You have really said this. Don't forget that science and engineering have also come up with magic guns and thunderbolts. I admit that the study of great use is not necessarily the study of benevolence."

"Just look at the good and evil in the hearts of those who use it, brighten their hearts and promote ethics, use science and engineering to prove science, and use science and technology to correct science and engineering. I am afraid that people who are proficient in science and engineering will not understand the principles of nature and human relations."

"Now I admire Hachigong, Long Changqi, and Zhang Zhao more and more. They have put a lot of effort into cultivating Mingrun's temperament."

"Therefore, this son is kind and modest, and always takes the world as his own responsibility."

"With all your wisdom, can you and I detect it if it is a crime?"

"Jun Shi, do you dare to imagine, if people like Lu Huiqing and Cai Que had the ability of Mingrun, what would they have turned the Song Dynasty into?"

Sima Guang sighed: "Now I know the meaning of Bo Chun's earnest warning before leaving, telling me not to destroy Mingrun..."

…

Yiqiumen, Suzhai.

Su Che became the Right Sijian, Su Shi became the Doctor of the Ministry of Rites, and everyone was finally reunited.

The two of them have low official status. It is approaching the end of the year and they have entered a happy holiday.

The family is so big that Yiqiumen's small house simply cannot accommodate it, so the two of them started fighting with Uncle Yao.

The older children were arranged to study in Kezhentang, and the rest of the family members were arranged to go to Beijing to study at Zhuangzi.

Twenty-seven mothers are considering buying a large house in Beijing, but it is difficult to buy a house in Bianjing City, and the house and shop have not yet been arranged for a suitable house.

Su You called the waiter from Widow Li's family to explain to him. If anyone is suitable, he will notify him in time. Cai Jing may not be able to take care of this kind of thing as well as the waiter from Li's family, who is a Beijing veteran in the yamen.

Dasu's return to Beijing was a grand event in the cultural world, and there was an endless stream of guests and friends every day. His salary was simply not enough to cover the expenses, so all of it was accounted for by Fang Zhiwei and written off from the dividends of Sitong shares.

Su You's move of donating his property shocked Su Shi and Su Che, but Su You stopped them from following suit.

Although Su Shi didn't care about anything, the Su family now had a high status in the silk and linen textile industry, and Erqi Niang was a good housekeeper, and the income from porcelain and glassware was very considerable.

The next step of Sitong's spin-off is light industry, which is approaching. Su You's intention is to let Wang Runzhi control the Su family's silk weaving industry, and Erqi Niang control the Su family's porcelain and glazed ware industries.

The historians no longer look down on these two industries. Shi Dongxiu is an old money addict and an old finance man. He can't get out of a money trap. He feels that using money to make money in the financial industry will make him happier.

After more than thirty years of bundled development, the Jiangqing family in Meishan has become a big chaebol, and now it has also become divided.

The Su family gave up their huge interests and shrank back to Meishan, but their influence in Shuzhong was even strengthened.

There are also some branches that spread their branches and leaves into the newly developed areas of the Song Dynasty. They are the first group of people who dare to eat crabs, and the dividends they get will naturally be huge.

This sect has embarked on an official career, passed down poems and etiquette to the family, served the country, and now has the possibility of becoming a world official.

You can count on one finger the families that produced three prime ministers in a row in the Song Dynasty. Currently, the only one that is about to succeed is the Lu family.

Su You and Su You were the "three prime ministers" mentioned by Renzong back then. Now at least one of Su You's prime minister positions has been reserved. Su Che also did well in real history. As for Da Su, well...

However, Bian Guan, the legitimate son of the Su You family, has been transferred to the right class, and may become a noble person like the Shi family in the future.

The Shi family has now completely completed a major transformation and has become a top noble again. Because of their science and engineering skills, the cooperation between the Shi family and the Gao family is very close.

The Gao family has had one and two envoys, and the Shi family has also followed suit. Shi Fu, Shi Zhao, and Shi Yong can already guarantee the stability of the Shi family for the next few generations.

The Cheng family is also very powerful, with many of their children serving as officials. Banniang's husband, Cheng Zhengfu, has already become a prefecture-level official, and may next join the Transportation Department as a deputy.

In terms of industry, printing and publishing is a major business of the Cheng family, and it has the closest relationship with the Su family.

There's nothing we can do about it. The Su family's influence on the cultural industry is terrible.

The relationship with the royal family is not weak, and many children of the Cheng family hold important positions in the Huangsong Bank and the banknote printing factory.

On the whole, the Shi family is slightly weaker, but the Shi family was the thorn in the side that Zhao Xu and Su You arranged in the Huangsong Bank to supervise the flow of funds of Song Dynasty officials, especially the clan and the two emperor brothers Zhao Xu.

It can be said that Meishan Jiangqing has played an important role in the Song Dynasty, either overtly or covertly.

But we can't talk about that today, because Da Su has been clamoring for Su You to arrange a delicious meal for him to comfort him after years of exile.

You're in trouble! You asked for it! Besides, it's not that you don't have money, you're just pretending to be poor!

Su Shi refused: "Uncle Xiaoyao, you want to be reasonable. Am I pretending to be poor? I am blaming myself."

Su You sneered: "You must gain something from self-blame and introspection, do you have it?"

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said sincerely: "I have been blaming myself for so long, but I really haven't found anything wrong with me."

Su You was confused by this answer. He was stunned for a long time, and then laughed loudly: "It's up to you. Go away and don't delay my preparation of good things!"

It’s almost thirty-nine years since he came to Song Dynasty, and it’s only today that Su You finally has the opportunity to make the pinnacle of Sichuan cuisine.

This sacred and lifelong endeavor was about to be completed, and Su You couldn't even shake the doubanjiang into the pot with his hands.

Doubanjiang was added with chili pepper, and it finally became the real Doubanjiang in later generations.

Rapeseed oil was not easy to come by. It took fifteen years of searching and fifteen years of cultivation.

Chef Zhou was working on the side, and when he saw Su You looking like this, he couldn't help but feel frightened. The Duke of Guo was planning to make a big hit! Big hit!

"First cook one kilogram of vegetable oil; cut 6 liang of butter into small pieces; chop 6 liang of watercress into fine pieces; put 6 liang of dried chili pepper into a pot of boiling water and simmer for about two minutes, then take it out and mince it into minced meat, which is the glutinous rice cake!"

"Got it!" Chef Zhou started to do it.

"Crush the ginger! Peel the garlic into cloves! Tie the green onions into knots! Crush the rock sugar!"

"Take your orders!"

"Break the star anise, sannai, and cinnamon into small pieces! Crush the grass and fruit!"

"Okay!"

"Put the wok on and fry the wok over medium heat!"

"good!"

"Pour in the vegetable oil and heat it up, add the butter and simmer it, add the ginger, garlic cloves, and scallions until fragrant, then add the watercress and glutinous rice cake peppers!"

"Then what?"

"Turn to low heat and stir-fry slowly. I'll prepare the medicine!"
