Chapter 212 Row Song
The two eunuchs went to Liyuan Castle first, and the main force of the battle was Liyuan Castle. = However, many soldiers were afraid of Sun Mian and hesitated and dared not speak out. However, the two of them asked, and they had to say something, which was basically very consistent with what Ye ordered.
So they returned to Gyeongju.
Although Sun Mian was a high-ranking official, he was a central envoy, which meant he was the emperor and had the right to inquire. But Sun Mian said rudely: "The old minister wrote his resignation to His Majesty."
This is the ancestral family law compiled by the scholars and officials. It says that Zhao Kuangyin left three wills before his death. He would not punish the scholars and officials and would not harm the descendants of the Chai family and would never add taxes. No, what is the sons of Chai Rong who grew up safely? How many corrupt civil servants did Zhao Kuangyin kill?
Besides, he even prepared his will, so he wouldn't support his son immediately to prepare for the position?
As for the inscription that never uses the Southern People as prime minister, what was the system of censorship in Zhao Kuangyin during the dynasty? It was not the carriage of the San Zhao, Zhao Da, Zhao Er, and Zhao Pu. Later, Zhao Pu was deposed and prepared to support Zhao San. As a result, Zhao Da went to Zhao San’s house for a few private meetings, he was killed by Zhao Er. To be precise, the system of censorship in the Song Dynasty was in the prototype of the prime minister from Zhao Kuangyi, and it was truly perfected during Song Zhenyi. What does it have to do with Zhao Kuangyin? What does it have to do with never using the Southern People as prime minister?
In fact, they are not the family rules of the ancestors, but a standard in the minds of scholars and officials.
Wang Ju said implicitly and transferred Sun Mian away. But then, Sima Guang and others were satisfied?
Sima Guang's remarks cannot be fully believed. Many remarks are to capture the wind and exaggerate.
However, Ouyang Xiu made his fortune by making a big mouth. Sima Guang did what he did now. He didn't know how many times he had done before. Sima Guang's words were reliable and unreliable, he could still identify a rough idea.
At least Sima Guang’s impeachment this time is true.
What's so bad is that he and Han Qi asked Zhao Shu to drag him down, and he couldn't take care of himself, so he had time to pull Sun Mian. Therefore, he wrote a quick letter to Sun Mian, and in a tactful tone, he asked Sun Mian to retire.
As long as Lao Sun joins the office, the matter will be over.
Sure enough, when he heard the word "retirement", the two eunuchs dared not ask. They were afraid of forcing Lao Sun to be anxious. This was his territory.
However, New Year's Day is coming, and it is the New Year's Day when they returned to the capital. The new year is new, but what they brought back is extremely bad news. What would this official family with an equally bad temper look at? If they don't do it well, they will be sad. The two of them thought about it and then moved to Wang Ju's small coal mine.
Just delay the time, delay it, and then go to Yanzhou. After returning, the Lantern Festival was also celebrated, and no matter what news was reported.
In front of the coal mine, piles of carbonite piled up like hills.
There are so many people. I used gunpowder again. The mining speed is fast and it is quite good. I transported a lot of them away. Now, every day, merchants from Qingzhou, Huanzhou come to pull 100 stones, or even more than 1,000 stones of carbohydrate, and transported them to the city for sale.
It is also a small income, but not much. Carboniferous in Huanqing Prefectures is relatively cheap, with only two or three hundred coins per stone, and then the profit transportation cost is excluded, so the mine price is only about one hundred.
But it was also an income. In a few days, the ice and snow on the road gradually melted, and Wang Ju planned to use prisoners of war and civilians to transport these carbonites to the workshop on the banks of the Huachi River. This was also a expense. It could save some of the expenses for Gyeongju. Perhaps part of these expenses would be converted into military expenses. Only when the entire Gyeongju military was strong could he make greater contributions. Of course, Sun Mian would not expect it in Gyeongju, and he had to wait for Cai Ting to arrive.
However, in addition to meeting the demand for coal use in two places for one or two years, the remaining half is estimated to be sold. Before New Year's Day, Wang Ju asked Ge Shaohua to touch the account at the coal mine. After digging through the prisoners of war, he estimated that the cost of food, accommodation, tools and gunpowder, plus the coal use in the two places would make a profit of nearly 10,000 yuan. With this nearly 10,000 yuan profit, not only can the future food expenditure of these laborers be guaranteed, but also a little savings. However, after getting this truly free labor, Wang Ju can do a lot. However, if he pays these laborers, the income will become pitiful again.
Overall, even if gunpowder is used, it is actually a low-tech, low-efficiency and high-cost production method.
This question was not considered by the two eunuchs. They came here just to see how to mine with gunpowder. They saw it with their own eyes and could make further statements to the emperor when they went back.
The soldiers who were warding prisoners of war were rotated. This time, Ning Du led nearly a hundred soldiers to ward the prisoners of war.
The two eunuchs walked towards the mine cave with the people from the Imperial City Department and happened to see a scene.
A pretty-looking woman was teasing an imperial guard. She didn't know what she said, but the imperial guard looked at her with his eyes.
Ning Du walked over and said, "Miss Meng Xiang, if you want charcoal, just put some in a basket and use it for home use. By the way, I would like to say to the villagers in the village, as long as you don't take out, just come and get it. But don't bring my subordinates."
"Ning Du, what are you saying? I have an official from the family." The wife complained, then twisted the water snake's waist and left.
Ning Du came to the soldier, knocked on his forehead and shouted: "Minister Wang and Inspection Commissioner Yao repeatedly warned not to touch the people's property, let alone touch the civilian women. You want to die."
The officer and soldier's face turned red.
"No, not bad." Eunuch Zhang turned out from the coal pile and slapped the high-fives. The court also hated the ban on soldiers and disturbed the people, but he was helpless. Unexpectedly, a small Huachi County did it.
"You are..."
Eunuch Zhang introduced his identity and purpose.
The other person was a central envoy, and going there was an imperial envoy. Ning Dutou immediately accompanied them down to watch and gave an introduction.
In fact, the mining technology of the Song Dynasty was still behind, and due to technical limitations, it was not digging deep. However, the miners also came up with some local methods, including safety. When they were in a torch, if they were not oxygenated, the torch would be extinguished. But now it is not called hypoxia, but is called toxic gas underground, so they came out immediately. In order to prevent collapse, some rock walls were deliberately left to remain as pillars and walls... etc.
But after using gunpowder, it means that you can enter deeper mineral veins.
So Wang Ju repeatedly warned that he had to leave more rock walls or coal walls. He would rather not dig than let the collapse happen.
In order to prevent gas from occurring, a small ball was stained with pine oil, tie iron wire behind the ball, wire wire behind the wire, ignite the ball and roll down the mine hole. Only when it is safe can the miner enter.
The gunpowder pack should not be too large to prevent vibration caused by explosive force and cause the entire pit to collapse. As long as the ore wall structure is blown loose, the coal can be easily dug out with tools.
While listening and watching, the two eunuchs had a plan in their hearts. On the way back, they saw where there was a carbonite pit. They also went in and took a look. By comparing the two, they could see how efficient they were.
I saw it from the coal mine. When New Year's Day arrived, the two stayed in Qingzhou City for a few days. They returned to Huachi County, but not to Huachi County. Instead, they went to Yanzhou, and only had a night of rest in Huachi County.
But when they came to Huachi County, they were both a little weird. What were they doing? Why are there so many people?
County Magistrate Qiu and Master Du Bo came out.
"Where is County Magistrate Wang?"
"He went to Ziwu Mountain to see the road. The weather was getting warmer soon and the road would start again."
"Oh," the two of them pondered, and Wang Ju asked clearly. It didn't matter whether they were there or not. So Eunuch Zhang pointed to the people outside the city and asked, "What are they doing?"
"This is also the idea of Magistrate Wang. He said that the people's lives are difficult and let the people have fun. It is better to do this. The sky is approaching dusk. The subordinates first arrange the place where the two envoys are in the middle, have dinner, and then take the two envoys out for a walk in the evening."
"It's OK."
After dinner, it was getting dark. County Magistrate Qiu and Master Du Bo took two eunuchs out of the city.
Countless people came and ignited bonfires outside the city. A woman in her thirties led the lead in singing. The woman was not pretty, but her voice was crisp, and she wanted to break through the clouds and crack the stones. Thousands of young men and women held hands and sang and danced around the bonfire.
"Singing?" said Eunuch Han.
Walking songs are also called stomping songs. During the Han and Tang dynasties, young men and women came out every Lantern Festival, choosing a circumference, holding hands and dancing, starting from dusk and until dawn. It reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty, and there were still some in the Song Dynasty, but it became a minority, and it was an activity of ethnic minorities in the south, and it was almost impossible to see the Central Plains.
"It's just a song," Du Zhubo explained: "Minister Wang said that life is not satisfactory, and the people live too tiring, and there are fewer joys and more sufferings. Therefore, he sent people to organize it and hosted the song outside Huachi City. It also has many intentions. In the eyes of many people in the court, the Qiang people are equivalent to the word "Qian", which is strictly wrong. The Fan people actually refer to the Tubo people, or the Tuyuhun people, that is, the descendants of various tribes in Qinghai. The Qiang people mostly refer to the Dangxiang people, and also generally refer to the descendants of the Hexi Corridor and Lingxia tribes, and the Hu people refer to the desert and the tribes in the Western Regions."
"Not bad." The two eunuchs nodded.
There are other nouns in the north and the west, Di people, Yi people, Rong people...
"Therefore, there are many conflicts among the tribes. Even if there are conflicts among the Dangxiang people, these tribes are vengeful, so there are many conflicts. If the government does not mediate, there will be problems. If one party is satisfied, the other party will inevitably feel unfair and will cause controversy. Moreover, there are conflicts between the British and Han people. In the past, the government either bribed or suppressed was not a solution to the problem. So Magistrate Wang also took this opportunity to let young men and women of all ethnic groups hold hands, sing and dance, and narrow the distance between each other. Even a song will make young men and women of various tribes interconnected each other, which will help the rapid integration of all ethnic groups. Once integrated, there will be no so many conflicts."
“This makes sense too.”
"That's right, all ethnic groups are compressed to the rear, and the population density increases. Wang Ju is also planning to open primary schools in Fengchuan Town, East and West Huachi Fort, and several larger villages. He does not seek imperial examinations, but asks more children to recognize a few words. In the future, it will not only help integration and Chineseization, but also further enshrining the tribes."
"Minister Wang is in love with the people as much as his son."
"Love the people is part of it, but when it is time to punish Wang Magistrate Wang was also very good at taking action. There was a tribe who had an unfilial son of a foreigner who was eating, drinking, gambled, and was very bad for his mother. Magistrate Wang happened to transfer to that village. After hearing this, he raised his whip and slapped him hard. Except for Magistrate Wang, ordinary Han civil servants dared to do this."
"Hahaha," the two eunuchs couldn't help laughing.
"There is another thing. The two foreign chiefs led the subordinates to fight with the people under the account. Wang Magistrate quickly rode over there and stopped there. Wang Magistrate shouted to the two foreign chiefs with a cold face and used a whip to suck each other. The two foreign chiefs dared not disobey and raised the whip to suck each other. Wang Magistrate shouted again, and the whip was lighter. So the two whip hard, almost whipping each other. Wang Magistrate asked, does it hurt? The two foreign chiefs nodded. Wang Magistrate said again, "You know the pain. How many villagers were injured after this fight? Do they not hurt? Why can't you discuss things well? Why can't you find someone to solve it for you? You have to fight with the villagers? The two foreign chiefs hurriedly cried. From then on, the two villages will never fight again."
"Awesome, awesome." The two eunuchs praised. But they were also neglected. The reason why Wang Ju dared to do this was the impact of the three battles. Now even the foreigners looked at Wang Ju as feared as a god. Of course, how could Wang Ju have no heart and behave unfairly, and would waste the prestige brought by the three battles.
Du Zhubo said again: "Now many people are talking about the best officials sent by the court, one is Xiao Fan and the other is Xiao Wang. Magistrate Wang has not yet won the championship, but he was called by the people. Magistrate Wang was so depressed." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
