Chapter 18 Moderately Prosperous Standards

Twenty-seven Niang glanced at Su You and snatched the cup: "I have no taste and am eccentric, obviously I am good-looking!" ”

Then he and Banniang exchanged a sense of ritual and saluted each other, and took a sip.

Banniang looked at Su You's stunned appearance and said with a smile: "You are a child, you can't drink tea." I don't sleep well at night. ”

What to say? Please drink it, I won't drink it, okay!

Hurriedly waved his hand to change the subject: "Let's go see the mud, and then go back, shall we?" ”

The mud is perfect, Su You has the people of the workshop scrape up the fine mud that has settled on the surface at the end, knead it according to their technique, roll it out into a clay board, cut out equal pieces, and then add different amounts of sand, mix it evenly and fold it.

Twenty-seven Niang and Shi Da were puzzled by this, and looked at each other.

Su You explained: "This is a way to test the viscosity of the mud, the sand is not sticky, and the viscous parameters of the soil can be obtained by entering different amounts of sand, you look at the red clay, add two-fifths of the sand, fold it halfway and it will break." ”

"With the same Guanyin mud, add half of the sand to get this effect, which shows that the viscosity of Guanyin mud is higher than that of ordinary clay, and in this way, the viscosity of the soil can be parameterized."

Banniang was smart and said to Su You: "Uncle Xiao, this is also the knowledge obtained from "Nine Chapters"? ”

Su You nodded: "Well, mathematics, this knowledge is very important to craftsmen. In fact, I even think that the use of mathematics to guide manual work in order to obtain more sophisticated tools and products should actually be classified as a specialized science. Eight Niang Twenty-Seven Niang, how do you say that it is called engineering? ”

Twenty-seven Niang couldn't help but reach out and want to touch Su You's head, but she withdrew her hand halfway, stuck out her tongue and smiled: "Xiao You is too smart." When your engineering research comes out, remember to do a good job in my pottery workshop. ”

Shi Da also made fun: "Well, it's best to build a kiln more than Jun Kiln, and then be a little young master with a lot of money!" ”

Su You really didn't think about the problem of money, with his engineering dog attributes, work experience in the city office, and the excavation and sorting of various intangible cultural heritage in the southwest of Sichuan, there were too many ways to come to the Great Song Dynasty.

The key issue is to learn from famous teachers and take the Jinshi examination, which is the right way for the Great Song Dynasty to establish itself, otherwise it is all a tower built on the sand, even if the Jiang Qing family may not be able to keep the industry.

Nowadays, the scientific examination is still relatively primitive, and in addition to learning, influence is equally important.

If you want to be influential, you have to be recommended by a big guy; If you want to be recommended by a big guy, you have to have a reputation; If you want to be famous, you have to be praised first; If you want to win people's favor, hehehe, Su You plans to start with the four major families of Meishan......

In fact, even with such hard work, it is still the same to build a tower on the sand, and when the Mongolian army arrives a few decades later, it should be on the street.

Thinking of the big ship that leaked like a sieve, Su You felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. The so-called cultivation of Qi Zhiping can only start slowly from the small things around you, and as for what kind of results you can get, you dare not hope at all.

Or, the He's seclusion in Kelongli is the final destination?

Twenty-seven Niang stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Su You's eyes: "Hey! Little oil, why do you always like to wander? Do you really want to be a rich man? ”

Su You came back to his senses at this time: "Oh...... It doesn't seem difficult to be a rich man, but the whole family can't go hungry anyway. I'm thinking about something more difficult. ”

Twenty-seven Niang's eyes rolled: "That is, I want to be an official." ”

Su You bowed his hand to the northeast in a serious manner: "If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world." Promote the government to be clear and the things are full, and the people are rich and the country is strong. Shinong industry and commerce, all in their positions; Widows and lonely people have everything to provide for. Yaobing is in the northwest, and Moma is in the south of Liaoning. Make the territory of the Great Song Dynasty Maihan and Tang, Renxin through the open sea, Enweibu Quartet. Then the wish of oil is also. ”

Twenty-seven Niang pursed her lips and laughed and complained: "Yo yo yo, in the final analysis, I still have to be an official, and I have to be a big official!" ”

The three of them laughed all the way back to the city, but Su You still walked, throwing a gall pill in his hand.

The usefulness of this thing is not as simple as the tofu that Su You told Twenty-seven Niang.

Now the main ingredient in my hand is sodium sulfate, commonly known as miscanthus salt.

Don't ask him why he knows, under his feet, is the future China's largest miscanthus nitrate mineral area, with proven reserves of 65 billion tons of miscanthus nitrate!

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Yamei generation became a famous leather production base, which was related to the abundant underground production of miscanthus salt.

In addition to tanning leather, this thing has many uses, washing cotton, weaving, dyeing, papermaking, porcelain, glaze, glass......

Meishan mineral deposits are extremely rich, Su oil in the government office to see the information, in addition to miscanthus salt, there are gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, zinc, manganese, coal, gypsum......

Not to mention anything else, there is coal, manganese, and iron, and Suyou is confident that it can smelt high-manganese steel by exhaustive method.

Because high manganese steel has a characteristic that it is very easy to process at high temperatures, and then it can be water-quenched to obtain extremely high strength and toughness, and even can be forged without forging, as long as the heat treatment is appropriate, even if the casting process can obtain high-strength wear-resistant steel.

"Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" records that Zhuge Liang ordered Pu Yuan to cast 500 treasure knives in this area, and he could easily cut through the bamboo tube filled with iron sand, which is estimated to be this thing.

But don't underestimate the surrounding peoples, the swords, bows and arrows of today's Western Xia are stronger than those of the Great Song Dynasty, which is a recognized fact.

The Qingfeng Sword of Western Xia is a precious collection of many famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

The sacred arm bow that the Song people were proud of was actually offered by the Western Xia people who had defected.

And Qingtang's Qizi Armor uses cold forging technology, and its strength is also higher than that of the Great Song Dynasty.

The situation of the Great Song Dynasty is like a bunch of soldiers surrounded by a scholar, and they don't reason with you.

Even Qin Zhigao in the south, who just collected an extra three or five buckets, still wants to be called the king and the emperor!

There is also the seemingly honest Dali, and the Tatars who rebelled against the sky many years later......

Distracted again, Su You retracted his thoughts and looked at the Meishan Zhishu in the distance.

The glass river under the sunset flowed quietly, and the Meishan City in the distance was bathed in gold, and the residents went in and out, only at this time, they adjusted their leisurely steps and slightly accelerated their speed.

The lotus ponds on both sides, the flower furrows, begin to exude fragrance.

Geese and ducks come ashore, and flocks of birds return to the forest.

The elementary school children left school, straddled the poster bags, came out of each college, laughed and went back to their homes.

The evening bell of the temple came from afar, quiet and melodious.

This is the current Great Song Dynasty, delicate, gentle and elegant, this is the beauty of the shaking heart developed by the Han nation's Wenhua condensed to the peak.

Unprecedented! Nothing after that!

Looking at the three big characters of "Civilization Gate" above the city gate, Su You secretly regretted that the Chinese civilization really shouldn't bear so much pain and destruction!

Entering the city and returning to the bookstore, the shopkeeper informed Su You and Banniang that Mrs. Cheng asked them to go to Su's house.

So the two turned around, and Banniang led Su You to the courtyard of the Su family in Shayuxing.

The courtyard was purchased by Mrs. Cheng, bypassing the street façade of the yarn shop, and you can enter the Su house from the back side door.

can cultivate a holy land with three of the six families of the Song Dynasty, Su You didn't even dare to take a breath of the atmosphere after coming in, and his steps were a lot lighter, for fear of splashing a little dust.

This is the standard courtyard of the well-off home in the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty.

Well-off, a beautiful term, has different standards in the Great Song Dynasty.

In Meishan, this standard should roughly refer to people who have fixed assets worth six or seven hundred, plus two or three hundred fixed incomes per year.

The population is not large, and according to the calculation of a family of five, it can barely enter the well-off.

Later generations summarized the demise of feudal dynasties and the drastic annexation of land, which was always included in one of the important reasons.

In fact, when you look closely, things don't seem to be that simple.

As far as the Great Song Dynasty is concerned, the land is not expensive, and the value of one acre of good paddy field is not high, and it is always about the same, roughly equivalent to the value of land in a year.

Of course, it is cost-effective to buy taxis for tax-free doctors, and if you are a yeoman farmer, it will take several years to work for nothing.

The Song Law had detailed regulations on the tax-free acres of land for scholars, and even if it was the prime minister's respect, the land purchased could not exceed 50 hectares, and the excess amount must also be taxed.

One of the major failures of the Qingli New Deal was the temporary lifting of this ban, while the development of public land did not keep up.

As a result, it is conceivable who bought the land.

In stark contrast, the burden on yeoman farmers is heavy, and the growers in Guantian on Kuizhou Road would rather flee than continue farming.

Even so, such an opening can only be regarded as a special policy in a special period, and cannot be regarded as a normal situation. The rulers of the ancient feudal dynasties were not fools, and they were always wary of this matter.

There are also all kinds of food estates, but that is not a real land annexation in the Great Song Dynasty, but an official honor, which is equivalent to the state taking a part of the income as an allowance for high-ranking officials and nobles, not that they actually occupy those lands.

That is another painful problem in the Great Song Dynasty, the problem of unreasonable tax use and distribution.
