Chapter 733 Jia Xian
The weapons of the new army were still brought from Beijing, and arsenals, large shipyards, and chemical bases were still being constructed in Shanghai in full swing.
The opposition from the military on the two Zhejiang Roads was also loud, but who were Di Yong and Wang Zhongzheng? They were both born in blood and fire.
Wang Zhongzheng himself served as the official supervisor of the more than 100,000-strong Western Army, the most powerful military force in the Song Dynasty. He also led fifty-four tribes of Tibetan people to invade Xixia and spread across several states. He was sent to the two Zhejiang Roads to cook.
This bunch of slimes are themselves resigned.
Di Yong's achievements are not obvious because he has always been Zhao Xu's personal armor, equivalent to Zhao Yun to Liu Bei.
In addition, the imperial court is currently implementing the law of placing generals, and the six southeast routes only have a total of thirteen places, and the Zhejiang Road alone has thirteen armies.
In other words, a large number of establishments are actually about to be eliminated.
The two Zhejiang roads are very important, which means that three of the thirteen military commanders are selected to be the generals. For the military, the new army of Di Yong and Wang Zhongzheng is nothing more than a life-saving straw.
Rumor has it that this mysterious army, weapons, training, drills, logistics, everything is different from today's army, and it is said that in the future, the army of the Song Dynasty will follow the current path and join this army.
The army and jobs are secure.
Literacy alone is a big deal. When did the top soldiers need to be able to read? This is not a method of selecting soldiers at all. This is selecting a leader to command!
Zhao Xu sent the new army to Liang Zhejiang for training, and this was also the reason why Liang Zhejiang was prosperous in culture and education.
Therefore, there are really not many ironheads who can jump out and compete with King Di Yong in the ring, and most of them are just trying to make a fool of themselves.
In fact, according to Wang Zhongzheng and Di Yong's ideas, Zhao Xu took off his pants, stocked up the security and control crane armies, and directly issued new weapons. In the blink of an eye, he became a full-fledged elite.
But Su You knew that this was impossible. Most of the Dun'an army were barbarians from the southwest, and the Konghe army was Han, but they were also Han from the southwest frontier.
Shuzhong originally had a history of rebelling against Zhao and Song Dynasties, and the Great Song Dynasty was weak internally and externally. The rulers would never dare to allow the peripheral troops to strengthen before the core strength was consolidated.
Even if Zhao Xu trusted them, the Privy Council and Zhongshu would never approve it.
Suyou did not let them surround Hangzhou, but dropped this force here to protect the economic engine of the Zhejiang-Zhejiang Road.
The most important ones are the copper warehouse and the banknote printing factory.
To seduce foreigners, treasure money is not enough now, they must see shiny copper coins with their own eyes.
To reduce costs, copper coins are made of bronze.
The copper coins of brass and white copper were collected by Zhao Xu into the inner treasury and used as rewards for the ministers.
Under the hydraulic punch, the copper bars are fed under the punch one by one, and then stamped by the punch. Each stamp is a copper coin.
Su Fu now has a beard and is more mature, and is introducing the coinage industry to Su You.
"Today's copper coins include Tongbao, Yuanbao and Chongbao. The patterns are different. They are actually Xiaoping coins, which are divided into two coins and five coins."
"When a copper dealer smelts one hundred copper coins, he can get ten taels of copper. Nowadays, the ten taels of copper can be sold for a small amount. After taking into account the cost, the profit is several times higher."
Su You nodded: "So it is better to let the country earn this profit. Nowadays, the quality of the yellow and white bronzes in Beijing is not inferior to that of the southwest. The market for folk bronzes has been severely suppressed."
Su Fu smiled and said: "There is also Dali, which is also a huge profit."
Both of them are ridiculous, and they have made a lot of money together, as well as Sitong, the middleman.
The workers poured the copper coins into the vibrating box, and the coins fell out of the box one by one, arranged in a columnar shape in the slot, then wrapped in oil paper and placed in a crude wooden box.
Coming to another workshop, Su Hu introduced: "This is the place where imported coins are stamped. In addition to copper coins, there are also some silver coins and gold coins."
Copper coins are almost the same as domestic coins, but there are two more characters for "神水" in seal script on the back. Gold and silver coins are more exquisite. There is an orchid on the front of the silver coin, and a sailboat on the back. The four Chinese characters around the sailboat are "beckon to the world".
The gold coin has a peony on the front, a majestic Zichen Palace on the back, and four Chinese characters "all nations come to court" around it.
Su Fu introduced: "A gold coin is worth ten guan, and a silver coin is worth one guan."
This is quite shameless. With the current exchange rate of silver and copper, every tael of silver is worth almost 500 yen. Two silver coins are an extra 500 yen in floating profit.
However, the exquisite money inscriptions concealed the mean faces of Shenquanjian and Song Dynasty, and foreigners were very enthusiastic about exchanging this money.
Many of the wealthy people in Fan City directly punched holes in gold and silver coins and used them to make necklaces, belts, and ears. Not to mention the glory.
The last workshop is full of the smell of ink, and the imperial and Song Dynasty banknotes are printed here.
The currency value of the salt banknotes of the Northern Song Dynasty was very strong. Song people already understood the relationship between margin and currency value.
The publication of "On Finance" also allowed them to more clearly grasp the relationship between the injection and withdrawal of salt money, that is, the net amount of currency injection, and economic growth.
Before the rise of Shuzhong, Liangzhe Road was the most developed area of the Song Dynasty's market economy. Even without Su You's promotion, people relied on their own development, and the math was already at a critical stage.
The so-called finance is actually the product of using mathematical methods to explore economic laws.
Mathematics throughout ancient China reached its peak during the Southern Song and Jin and Yuan dynasties, and then began to decline.
Mastering the laws of economic operation is definitely the frontier in today's Song Dynasty, and it is easy for ordinary people and aristocratic families to get away with it.
Even if you become rich and powerful, if you chop it off with a knife, it will still belong to others.
Therefore, Su You was very good, and he was very lucky that the Song Dynasty had Zhao Zongyou, the 21st uncle of Zhao Xu, a royal mathematician who served as the military governor of Jing Haijun.
The key is that this kid has a very academic character. He studies this not out of greed for money, but purely out of his interest and hobby in mathematics. What he pursues is "Tao".
Compared with the mathematicians in the Southern Song Dynasty who were obsessed with money, today's mathematicians are more inclined to philosophical speculation and have much better character.
However, mathematicians in the Northern Song Dynasty also had a problem, that is, they were out of touch with their applications.
Zhao Zongyou's knowledge is not yet at such an advanced level, but extracting mathematical problems from practical applications and then handing them over to the big guys to solve is a task he is currently capable of.
There is also the use of science and engineering methods to translate the works of the big guys and explain the principles. This is what Su You and Su Xiaomei did initially, and now he can also take over.
In the research room, Zhao Zongyou is writing calculations, and there are a group of mathematical talents found by Zhejiang Road below. There are a total of fifty-four people here.
Su You walked in quietly. Zhao Zongyou saw it and whispered: "Let's go to the inner room to talk."
In the inner room were three old men. In Su You's mind, they were the treasures of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Zongyou introduced them one by one: "Jia Xian and Jia Gong completed "The Nine Chapters of the Yellow Emperor" twenty years ago, and now they have just completed "The Book of Suo Suo Shu". You and Su Xianjun have already translated the previous one, which is
Jia Gong used the multiplication method to solve the problem of finding high-order positive roots of power."
The famous Jia Xian Triangle was the great achievement of this Duke. Su You quickly greeted him and said: "The younger generation is still studying and has met Jia Gong."
Jia Xian's official position was humble and he was just a straight-laced member of the Zuoban class. However, after being transferred to Si Tianjian by Su You, he embarked on an academic path. Now he is also a top mathematician, a special consultant of Sitong Company, and has a monthly salary of hundreds of dollars.
There is a joke in later generations: "Students, everyone already knows addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Now let's do this calculus problem."
It's a bit exaggerated to say this, but if it were replaced by "Classmates, everyone already knows addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, now please find the solution to any power of any number." This is almost the achievement of Mr. Jia Xian in front of me.
