Lao Li said: "It would be a lie to say that there is no such thing. When this enamelware first came out, there was no tax. It was the property of the Zhao Song family!"

"In the end, this clan property will also have to pay taxes, and we will have to bear the taxes. We have no choice but to bear them. If we don't want to bear them, then the order will have to be put in the back row. The line tax of 1/10 of the line tax will be paid.

Not short of thirty tax dollars, right?"

"Hey, this year is different. There is a second enamel factory this year. I heard that the two princes above are fighting each other. Prince Yong wants to retain old customers, so he waved his hand and waived the tax for us."

Su You nodded, this is also the meaning of the question. After competition is introduced, these phenomena will naturally appear. He smiled and said: "No matter how small it is, it is still meat. In one year, you can save dozens of strings, right?"

Old Li Nanran: "My business is small and I can't get on the stage. I heard that over there on the border, selling these things to the Xia people is like making money every day..."

After everyone chatted and ate, Old Li cleared the table and brought hot water to Su You to boil his feet. He smiled and said, "After a good meal, this old man can only afford to treat you as a gentleman."

Su You nodded: "It's better to eat a sheep for three days than to soak your feet and then go to bed. This is fine. I'm here to help Lao Li."

After speaking, he said to Zhang Qi and the other two: "I wonder if Zhao Xiaoyi has succeeded now."

Zhang Qi smiled and said: "With his cleverness, the appointment has been completed. Didn't he pat his chest to give you a guarantee before leaving?"

Su You sighed: "I really hope he doesn't succeed..."

…

In the early morning, on the outskirts of Guancheng, Zhengzhou, next to a heavily guarded large factory, a young man dressed as a scholar walked up.

The young man was wearing a moon-white robe with shimmering brocades, a leather schoolbag slung across his body, a leather belt with a brass buckle around his waist, and a pair of black cowhide boots with rubber soles on his feet.

The most important thing is that on the bridge of this young man's nose, there is a pair of black sello-rimmed glasses, and on his head is a green-gray canvas soft-brimmed cloth hat loved by later generations of trendy men.

A steward at the gate of the factory seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. Seeing this man's behavior, he immediately came up to him and said, "Assistant Professor Zhang from the Polytechnic Institute, right? It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope for the stars and the moon. I hope you are here."

Got it!"

Nowadays, polytechnic students, especially those who stay in school after graduation and become teaching assistants or above, have a very high income, are familiar with science and engineering products, and basically dress in such a "modern" style.

Especially glasses and leather bags, which are almost standard.

Moreover, this group of people, influenced by their founding mentor, often travel alone in a pack, and people here in the Zhengzhou factory are also very familiar with it.

The young man took a look at the factory brand: "Zhengzhou Forging Plant... Well, the college said there was a problem with your 500-ton forging machine?"

"Exactly!" The steward nodded and bowed: "The No. 1 forging machine has been stopped for two days. The technicians in the factory are graduates of Shangzhou Technical School. They are not as knowledgeable as the Royal Institute of Technology. Doesn't this mean they have to go to the academy?

"

The young man nodded, then shook his head: "You can't say that. Shangzhou Technician attaches great importance to practical operations, while Royal Institute of Technology attaches great importance to theoretical research. Each has its own strengths."

"If I remember correctly, the No. 1 forging machine in your factory is a long-pressure type 5003. It is an old hydraulic type item, and it is normal to have some problems. The most common problem is the problem of the sealing ring.

,Have your seals been replaced?”

This is also the behavior of those who came from a polytechnic. They started discussing technical issues at the entrance of the factory. The manager smiled and said: "I am in charge of reception, and I don't understand the specific technical issues. Let's go ahead and go to the factory."

Go talk, by the way, what do you call Mr. Young?"

The young man said: "My name is Zhang Jia, with the courtesy name Zixu. By the way, I remember that the technician in the factory is my senior brother. His name is Yao Sixi, right? What's the matter, he is no longer in the factory?"

"Ouch!" the manager said happily: "With this, Brother Zixu and our factory are no longer on friendly terms."

"There's nothing to say about Sixi's skills... Hey! Isn't it that Guo Sima was transferred to be the instructor by the breeder? Before he left, he recommended Sixi to Uncle Gao Guo. Although our factory was reluctant to part with it, we still couldn't.

We can't block Sixi's future, right? Now Uncle Gao Guo is taking charge of Sixi."

Zhang Jia smiled and said: "My senior brother, who was nicknamed Yao Zhugan'er in the college back then, was a tall and elegant man, and now he has joined the army? Can he lift a knife?"

The steward smiled and said: "Guo Sima is still a big fat man! He can be a coach, what's wrong with us Sixi? By the way, brother Zixu, have you eaten? If not, I will arrange for the kitchen to get some for you. Since

We won't be in a hurry when people arrive. We'll look at the problems with the forging bed after dinner!"

Zhang Jia took out a letter from his bag: "This is a letter of introduction from the college. Can you read it?"

The manager waved his hands repeatedly: "With my outfit, this demeanor, and my familiarity with the forging machine and Sixi, I still can't believe it? Let's take a walk and enter the factory..."

He photographed the letter of introduction to the security guard at the gate, pulled Zhang Jia into the factory.

…

When the boat arrived at Heyin, Su You and the other two people were about to part ways with Lao Li. This was the big wharf in Zhengzhou, and further northwest was Biankou.

Biankou is now only opened in winter when the flow of the Yellow River is slow, the sediment content is relatively low, and there is not enough Luo water to irrigate the canal, and it is closed and no longer used.

The new water source of the Bian Canal comes from Luoshui, introduced from the new canal in Luokoucang, Gong County. The water quality is clear, which greatly alleviates the sedimentation rate of the Bian Canal.

Heyin is the first important terminal of the Luobian New Canal below Biankou. Goods from Zhengzhou to Luoyang and Bianjing are mainly collected and distributed here.

Lao Li was busy delivering noodles and purchasing goods. He was so busy that he only said goodbye to a few people in a hurry.

Su You hired an empty bus back to the city and took the bus to Zhengzhou.

In fact, Su You had acquaintances in Zhengzhou. The ancestral home of the elite family of science and engineering in the Song Dynasty, Li Nanggong's family, was Guancheng in Zhengzhou.

The Li family's gang are old friends.

However, this familiarity was at the level of science and engineering. When Li Nan was serving as deputy envoy to Hebei Province, he once wanted to ask Wang Lingtu of Chanzhou to open the Yingyang Old River and fill it eastward with the backwater of Suncun.

, and also believed that placing saw teeth in Dawuxi could control the river flow and return to the original path.

This was the remnant of Huihe theory. Su You asked the imperial court to send envoys to inspect it. In front of the inspection drawings of science and engineering, Li Nanggong and Wang Lingtu reiterated their previous objections and said: "Looking at the capital under the sun, the water situation in Sun Village is inconvenient."

In fact, Su You thought it was okay to correct mistakes when they knew they were wrong, but in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, this was called being repetitive and following one's rules, and people had no special skills.

In addition, Li Nan Gong was a civil servant, so he was impeached by the imperial censor. He was fined twenty gold, changed to Yan'an Prefecture, and his position was replaced by Su Yuanzhen.

However, the collection of Li Nan Gong's family was also the object of Su You's engraving, and Su You attached great importance to it.

Because the Li family's collection of books is very rich on the construction of cities, buildings and other man-made structures.

Li Nanggong's son Li Jie was quite appreciated by Su You. In addition to being a master of calligraphy and painting, he also had special skills in the design, budget and management of palaces, city walls, bridges, residences, buildings, roads and other civil engineering projects.

talent.

So Su You recommended Li Jie to Zhao Xu. In order to strengthen the management of the government-run construction industry, he had to have an accurate budget for project labor, materials and funds, an accurate estimate of the construction period, and a unified understanding of the safety of the building.

To standardize, the Song Dynasty needed a construction engineering technical classic and a special book of regulatory nature to standardize industry behavior.

Please ask Zhao Xu to order Li Jie to compile "Building Methods".

The whole book consists of four parts:

The first part organizes the historical materials related to construction engineering technology in previous classics and history books and compiles them into a "general explanation".

The second part is divided into different categories according to the different types of work in the construction industry, and compiled into technical specifications and operating procedures, that is, "each work system".

The third part summarizes and compiles the labor and material quota standards for each type of work.

The fourth part is the drawings and drawings of each system.

In addition to these similarities with the historical "Building French Style", Su You also added more tasks to Li Jie.

One is the principles and patterns of various construction machinery.

The second is the collection of various new building materials, construction methods, and building structures.

The third is engineering system management.

The fourth is the research results of today's cutting-edge building technologies such as heating, gas, ventilation, temperature regulation, water supply and drainage.

Finally, with the addition of structural mechanics and architectural aesthetics, this work is actually the general outline of an architecture department.

This magnificent masterpiece cannot be completed in a short time, and the power of the general supervisor alone is not enough to complete it. Su You instructed the Stone Construction Department and the Royal Institute of Technology to participate.

Li Jie also knew that if this work could be completed, it would be a masterpiece surpassing the "Kaogong Ji" of the Zhou Dynasty, and he would become the most famous construction expert in the Song Dynasty. In addition, this was also his hobby.
Chapter completed!
