"Ge Shaohua, don't you blame the official for calling you to Guangzhou, right?" Lu Jujian said.!.

"I didn't dare in my later life, and the envoy of the Soviet Union also made it clear in the letter that once the construction started, Lu Gong would have to resettle the people, organize the people to work, and worry about the water workers, and there would be so many people who migrated from Fujian Road in the future and had almost nothing."

"That's good, let's talk about this plumber first."

"Duke Lü, although it was not long before he built the Zhengbai Canal with Wang Pingshi, it was the most difficult stage of construction at the beginning. Of course, although the technical difficulty is great, the water conservancy in the north is different from the water conservancy in the south. Therefore, Wang Pingshi repeatedly explained some of the water conservancy situation in the south, and asked me to go to Wanchunwei to have a personal inspection. ”

"He confessed to the Southern Water ......"

"Gong Lu, don't underestimate Wang Pingshi, in terms of insight and intelligence, he dared to say that no one among the rising talents can compare with Wang Pingshi. It's just that he doesn't have a false reputation and wants to do something for the court, so he doesn't put it on poetry and songs. ”

"He fought well."

There are still many people in Guangnan who don't know, but the imperial court will inevitably explain this matter, and it is not surprising that Lu Jujian knows.

Lu Jujian paced a few more steps and asked, "He has been to the south, how did he know?" ”

"I don't know about it later, but I will talk about it, and Duke Lu will see if what Wang Commenting is correct. Before leaving for his later life, Wang Pingshi once said that Wan Chunwei, and the local people were once rumored to be in Jiaolong. In fact, it is not a dragon, the tree has a vein, the ground has a vein, even if it is a mountain rock, there are also small veins, so trees can grow on the mountain. In order to have mountain springs. And the more trees. There will also be more springs and streams, because the roots of the trees can fix water. So it is with the mountains, and so it is with the earth. Although there is silt on the Wanchun Wei, the lower surface soil may also have a dark hole, if it is not measured properly, bypass the dark hole, and it happens that the polder embankment is built on it, and the river flood comes. The river water can be poured into the polder, so the people say that there is a dragon. ”

"That's ......" Lu Jujian didn't know how to say it, anyway, this theory was the first time he had heard it.

Wang Pingshi also said that the water flow of Guangnan is abundant, far better than that of the north. However, the topography of the two provinces is very complex, with large rivers similar to the Yangtze River and Huai River, as well as short rivers, some affected by water pollution and some affected by flash floods. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the suddenness and size of the water flow. How far from the estuary, how fast or slow the flow is. There was also a strong wind, Wang Pingshi named it a typhoon, and repeatedly warned that there must be enough waterways left in his later life, otherwise the waterways are not smooth, not to benefit the people, but to harm the people. ”

"How did he know?"

"I guess I read some kind of book."

Lu Jujian recalled what books recorded the situation of the rivers in Lingnan, but he couldn't think of any of them.

Maybe he didn't see it, Lu Jujian comforted in his heart.

Ge Shaohua said: "The second is the people, although it is a hired people, Wang Pingshi has repeatedly explained, just like a normal lease of land, let the late students take people to teach the people, but they can't forcibly interfere with the people, let alone use the banner of the inner treasury to do evil, and then pay a certain salary, and then use the form of more work and more rewards to encourage the people to work hard and produce." However, Enwei also needs to take into account the fact that Duke Lu also needs to send soldiers to patrol when the kapok seeds are ripe, so as to prevent the people from selling them privately. This is not to prevent the people, but to stop the people, otherwise once the private sale starts, it will be difficult to stop it. When the time comes, it will affect the income of the inner treasury, not to mention, and also affect the reputation of the official family. ”

"Yes, that's a good point." Lu Jujian praised.

For such a big matter, Zhang Min is not very relieved, and he is even more worried, after all, Zhang Min is only responsible for cooperating with the people to come over, and then he doesn't have to worry about anything. The person who cleaned up the mess was none other than Zhang Min, it was him.

Although Su Lishe did not put on a show, his ability made Lu Jujian not very reassured, so he asked Su Lishe to write a letter to Ge Shaohua immediately. Shao Kang said that one Lu and two Han, the Lu family is the Lu of Lu Jujian's family, not only Lu Yijian's four sons are all high-ranking officials, but Lu Mengzheng's sons, that is, Lu Yijian's cousins and uncles, are also high-ranking officials, and several of them are still alive, and the juniors behind them have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. After Ge Shaohua received Su Lishe's letter, did he dare not come?

Ge Shaohua asked Su Lishe: "Did you buy that kapok seed?" ”

"Acquired some, too expensive." Su Lishe complained.

At this time, kapok seeds have spread to Fujian Road, not to mention Lingnan, not only in Hainan Island, that is, Leizhou Peninsula, there are also many people who began to plant kapok, including some Han people are also planting, but the process can not keep up, and the income is not as good as that of the Li people.

"That's okay, Lu Gong, you come and take a look."

This trip was not just the two of them, not only the guards, not only the cooperation of the local officials, but also other people, including craftsmen, and some supplies, because of the long distance, the time of arrival was different. After receiving Su Li's letter, the craftsmen and weaver girls also arrived at Fujian Road, so Ge Shaohua brought them over.

They will be responsible for teaching in the future, and in addition, they will pop out some quilts and transport them to Xiangguo Temple in the capital to be displayed, so as to open up sales for next year.

Lu Jujian was suspicious, so Ge Shaohua asked Lu Jujian to watch it in person to dispel his suspicions.

The craftsman quickly assembles the instrument.

Lu Jujian asked the official to bring the seed cotton, and the craftsman turned the roller with his hands and feet, and the lint rolled out from above, and the cotton seed automatically fell to the ground.

Cotton is also available in Guangzhou now, but there are not many, Lu Jujian has seen it, most of them are the same as Fujian Road, let children peel cotton seeds one by one. Can this hand peel cottonseed well?

"Wonderful."

In fact, the seeding technology of the Li people is also backward, and it is an iron collar to grind the core, and the principle is to use a rolling pin to squeeze out the cottonseeds. Wang Ju is not very clever at this, but he uses cranks and levers to design a very backward three-legged mixer, but it is more convenient and labor-saving than the current iron collar grinding.

In addition, the small bow bullet flower used by the Li people made Wang Ju change it to a big bow bullet flower. However, in the Song Dynasty at this time, the significance of progress is not trivial.

However, even Lu Jujian didn't know how the Li people peeled the seeds, so they felt convenient and didn't think about anything else. Even Ge Shaohua thought that Wang Ju used some channel to learn this technology from the Li people.

The only battle now is the nutrient bowl transfer method.

In addition, a lot of money will be made. All right. It's not bad to think that way. Anyway, it's for this hard money.

The craftsman spread the reed mat on the ground again, put the lint on it, and used a big bow to play the flowers, and the two weaver girls used white silk threads to spread the warp and weft, and a decent quilt came out, and then made a quilt cover with silk.

Ge Shaohua asked, "Gong Lu, how much will this quilt be worth?" ”

Lu Jujian stroked the soft quilt with his hand. Smelling its unique cotton fragrance again, he muttered: "Five, ten? ”

There are many questions involved in why there is such a statement.

How did the first, now Song Dynasty northerners, survive the winter? Believe me, there is absolutely no quilt padded clothing. Therefore, rich people wear fur, and those who have no money use silk heads to make cotton, and there is real kapok, but that thing is very expensive. Therefore, Li Shimin conquered Goguryeo, because he came back late, and did not sacrifice many soldiers on the battlefield. On the way back, many soldiers froze to death. Before the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Xiaoice River fell. Even Taihu Lake was frozen thickly, so the forbidden soldiers standing on the head of the capital, many of them stood and stood, and they froze into zombies and froze to death!

And then to live, it doesn't matter if the rich family has problems, they can cover blankets, and the rich people have to make do with it and build a charcoal stove in the house. It has given birth to the prosperity of another industry, selling charcoal! The Jurchens are colder, and there is no fire kang yet, let alone a fireplace, this thing was also brought out by Wang Ju, even if it came out, it has not yet been popularized. Therefore, the Jurchens dug holes in the ground, and they could dig very deep as soon as they dug them, and then they spent the winter in the holes, and they also raised pigs in the holes, so as to escape the cold of the ground.

But a new problem comes, the current fur processing technology is very backward, after a long time, these fur products will have a strange smell, plus they themselves like to eat mutton, so they have a smell on the body.

So there were many bathhouses in the Song Dynasty, and many wealthy people liked incense, precisely to remove this smell. If you turn over the poems of the Southern Song Dynasty, you can often use the word fishy smell, which does not necessarily refer to the smell of foxes, nor necessarily to the Hu people, but the smell of the Hu people is greater.

Similarly, there are fried chestnuts with sugar. At this time, it is very troublesome to brush your teeth, dig with your hands, and if you can't dig it, you will dig it with a willow branch, rinse your mouth with green salt, or brush your teeth with a horse's tail. It's so troublesome that some people simply don't brush their teeth. Especially Comrade Yu Jing, he likes to spray Zhao Zhen again, every time he finishes spraying, Zhao Zhen wants to hide his face while wiping his face and fleeing, and often scolds Yu Jing for being a stinky man behind his back. But in the end, it is not a way, especially like the court, there are a lot of people, not like what was shown on TV later, there are only a few dozen people, and there are hundreds of people in the Chang Dynasty, if it is a big court, it can reach nearly a thousand people. Therefore, in some enclosed spaces, everyone eats fried chestnuts with sugar, and now there is no sucrose, only sticky maltose, so with the stinky tartar, swallow it together in the stomach, so that the air quality will improve a little......

These are all products of the times, as well as tea cakes and the like.

Not to mention whether this cotton tastes good or not, it is also a warm product, how much is a blanket worth? Cheap can be worth several times, and expensive ones can be worth dozens of dollars.

So this quilt was made out in front of Lu Jujian, and Lu Jujian immediately quoted a high price.

Ge Shaohua also touched it with his hand, it was really soft and comfortable, he said: "Lu Gong, if you say that if you plant well in the future, you will find out all the suitable planting methods after a few years, and the yield of one acre of kapok can make seven or eight such quilts, how much benefit will it produce, and what changes will it bring to Guangnan?" Or will the Lu Guild not go down in history? ”

"Where's the seven or eight beds?" Lu Jujian immediately froze.

Think about how much rice and wheat can be received from an acre of land, or how much it can be worth in exchange for money, and then think about this income, can Lu Jujian not be surprised?

What water, people, machinery, that's all fake, that's true. If there is no difficulty, you have to go up, and if you have difficulties, you have to go up!

Lu Jujian was stunned for a while, and then suddenly shouted: "That Liangguang will become the Bashu of the Qin State." ”

Okay, Ge Shaohua and Su Lishe glanced at each other, and a stone fell to the ground. Ge Shaohua said in a low voice: "Envoy Su, the craftsman and the weaver girl are here, and they will immediately make the quilt together, and then send it to the capital, so that the nobles in the capital will also have fun." ”

Whether the people in the capital are happy or not, Ge Shaohua really doesn't care, what he cares about is whether Zhao Ji will be happy, and Wang Ju will be able to add points.

…………

Zhao Ji was not happy.

He issued an edict to let Wang Ju go to Beijing to report on his work, mainly because Han Qi was down, and he was ready to do it. However, Han Qi's toss was a little lacking in self-confidence, so Wang Anshi had just awarded the prefect of Jiangning, and Zhao Ji issued an edict to edict Wang Anshi to enter Beijing as a bachelor and attendant of Hanlin.

However, some of the next measures were all Wang Ju's mentions, so Wang Ju must be allowed to enter Beijing as a staff officer.

However, Sima Guang's impeachment cannot be underestimated, in case Wang Ju can't stop it, it will hurt Wang Ju.

So he thought about it and summoned Han Wei and Han Jiang to the palace.

"Han Qing, I have issued an edict to Wang Ju, and he will soon go to Beijing to report on his work."

"Majesty, you can do it as well." Han Jiang had read Wang Ju's complete recital, so he immediately said.

The rest can be left behind, but this financial problem must be solved.

Han Weihu looked at the two suspiciously.

"On the matter of disarmament." Zhao Ji said.

"Disarmament, didn't the minister hear that the imperial court was going to increase the army, and it was because the king stopped it, why did it become a reduction in troops?"

"Han Zhihe, come and see this recital." Zhao said.

Han Wei's Han Jiang brothers are "their own people", and Zhao Ji handed Wang Ju's music to Han Wei to watch. This piece is not rejected by Gao Tao, and it does not mean that Wang Ju has a conservative strategy, but it is mainly written in detail, and the importance is urgent, and the interests are also clearly written.

Han Wei opened it to watch, and he didn't approve of it in some places, but people didn't say it, it was all going to be implemented immediately, which was divided into several steps to execute, and the effect was watched while executing, so Han Wei said after watching it: "It's a good policy......

"But Sima Qing is very repulsive to Wang Ju, and he said all kinds of Wang Ju," Zhao Ji complained to the two of them in distress about the big hats that Sima Guang wore to Wang Ju.

"Your Majesty, when the court meeting that day, Sima Guang also mentioned this matter in the Waiting Courtyard for Leakage, and wanted to join forces with Teng Fu and Yang Hui to persuade them to impeach Wang Ju, but the two did not express their position."

Zhao Ji frowned.

Only then did he think of what Wang Ju said before, even if he became an emperor, he didn't do whatever he wanted, and he could use whoever he wanted. For example, this Sima Guang, he didn't make a mistake, he immediately went down, and the court couldn't be quiet again.

Han Jiang said on the side: "Anyway, Wang Ju has made great contributions to Sheji, even if he has a small fault, he can't care about it, does he have to be like that woman in Fujian to be a hero?" ”

"The woman in Fujian?"

"A Strange Woman......"

"A strange woman?"

"It can be called the word Qilie," Han Jiang said the situation of this Qilie woman.

"Why didn't anyone report to me," Zhao said angrily, and then wiped his tears with a handkerchief. (To be continued......) R752
