Chapter 198: Set up Xiao Zhang

The moral logic of the Song Dynasty people is very strange, that is, if you come up with something that improves productivity, you may still get praise from everyone, but if you come up with something that makes life more comfortable and you use it on yourself, it seems like you have failed in your personal ethics.

.

Su You planned to use the glass panels in Bagong's bedroom, Old Man Long's monastery, the school building, and the Earth Temple. Anyway, he would stay there for a long time and gain a good reputation of respecting the elderly and the virtuous.

Of course, that is a matter for the future. After the current glass plate is produced, it must be engraved on it with a rotating shaft grinding wheel.

The board is full of scenes from Meishan City, mainly concentrated at the bottom of the glass board, pavilions, city walls, pavilions, fields, roads, bridges...

The inner layer of the smaller one is the scenery on the other side, mainly concentrated in the middle and upper parts, hills, Tingzhu, flowers and trees, clouds, and blue sky.

After being carved with a grinding wheel, the scenery on the glass plate creates a relief effect, and the spatial distance between the inner and outer layers creates a visual three-dimensional sense.

In glass carving, this is called intaglio carving. After carving, you have to turn it over to appreciate it.

The engraving process was completed by the Cheng family engraving workshop. Because glass is reversed, only experienced plate makers like Yu Gong and others could do it.

After the carving is completed, oil paint is applied.

The middle layers of cylinders are the moving parts, including river waves, carriages and horses, cattle and sheep, fish, sails, and birds...

It's impossible to carve this one, but it didn't bother the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty. They first coiled it out of glass silk and then attached it to the cylinder.

There is no enamel color yet, so it can only be filled with glaze, and the resulting color is relatively light.

The sound-generating device is also a key point. Because the lamp is large, the music drum can store a large amount of information, so Su You designed reeds of three widths, corresponding to the high, medium and low parts respectively, to turn a single sound into a chord.

The music score had to be changed to three parts. Twenty-seven mothers took over this matter. Every day, they stayed together with Banniang and Wang Fu to enjoy the music, and also inquired about Xiao Su's gossip.

Su You felt that Twenty-Seventh Mother would be very disappointed, because Xiao Su’s gossip, isn’t it just reading, reading, uh, reading?

Each company divides the work. Su You still has something to do here, which is to design the mechanical transmission part.

The mechanical part of the revolving lantern is not complicated, but relatively precise. Shi Fu brought a brass plate, and Su You used a stylus and iron rule to draw the drawing directly on the copper plate. The rest was that Shi Fu used a small hacksaw to cut the workpiece, and then put it in a vise.

Polish it out with a small file.

Shi Fu's craftsmanship became more and more sophisticated. In his own words, working on this thing became addictive. The traditional wooden mechanical structures on the shelves of the Suzhou Polytechnic Laboratory were gradually replaced with brass components.

In the remaining time, Su You had to organize the children to work with the tea saplings in the borneol camphor nursery, as well as the pear saplings and walnut saplings brought back by Dali.

Fight against the coming cold spring.

So during this time, Su You had to travel between the city and the countryside. He was the one who was tired, and Huang Chu was the one who was happy.

Business intelligence came in that the whole of Sichuan suffered from a late spring cold. Fortunately, this was already the southernmost point of this climate change, and the Wuzhong area was not affected.

The government has moved into action, and the men from the Cao Gang have work to do.

After this incident, Su You passed through the Longchang period and made a suggestion to the prefecture and county to cultivate terraced fields in the hilly areas around Sichuan.

In addition to increasing the cultivated area, there is a temperature difference in the mountainous areas compared to the plains and river valleys. Correspondingly, the time for raising seedlings is two weeks later than in the plains.

This can solve some of the unfavorable factors caused by the late spring cold from a macro perspective, which is equivalent to putting eggs in two baskets.

Of course, the cost will be very high, but given the enthusiasm of the powerful people in Sichuan for land and certain preferential policies, it is still very feasible.

If the powerful people in Sichuan are willing, Meishan Jiangqing can provide a theodolite, a magical tool for measuring contours in mountainous areas, and can also provide a surveying team to help everyone make a fortune.

This policy was sent to Chengdu by Zhang Shu. Zhang Fangping, who was the fourth-way transport envoy, couldn't understand it. Is Jiang Qing of Meishan addicted to helping others? He is working so hard for the title of loyalty to the country?

When something goes wrong, it becomes a monster. Zhang Fangping recalled Su Xun, who was still having sex at Feiming Temple in Luofu Mountain. You should hurry back to Meishan and see what Jiang Qing wants to do.

While writing to his son, things can be done, but you have to do it step by step. This is a good time for you to make political achievements. I heard that many hills around the mausoleum can be used as farmland? If you can make the well self-sufficient in food,

There is no need for external luck, I will give you a grade point examination in three years, and no one will be able to fart!

…

In Wangyuxuan of Zhuyuan Building, several directors met for a meeting.

"Look, look, the little fox can't beat the old fox!" Cheng Wenying shook the tabloid in his hand and said to Su You.

Shi Dongxiu also sighed: "Mingrun's trick of concealing the truth and draining fuel from the bottom of the cauldron has turned into a cocoon."

According to Su You's idea, this method is to train the surveying and mapping team. At the same time, it will attract powerful people to land reclamation, thereby reducing competitors and giving Meishan Commercial Group critical time to start calmly.

As a result, Fang Ping was cautious all his life and did not fall into this trap!

Su You touched his chin: "It doesn't matter, we can't trick Old Zhang, let's trick Xiao Zhang. Hey, this is a good thing in the first place, but how come the in-laws and uncles say it's like a conspiracy?"

Shi Dongxiu still felt a little sad: "My dear nephew, although we are climbing uphill and uphill, all we can get out are paddy fields. We really don't..."

Su You smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, there is a problem with the return on investment of funds. The land terraces, for us, the return rate is too low."

"If you are really interested in farming and want high returns, Shaanxi is a golden treasure land."

Shi Dongxiu asked curiously: "How can it become a good place when there is chaos and war over there?"

Su You said: "It's high-risk and high-yield. Firstly, there is an advantage to growing grain there. You don't have to worry about selling it, and you can immediately exchange it for salt and salt, or silver or copper coins. Secondly, the land there is ready-made."

Refined land, the third rate of return is really high. Shibo, think about it. If you transport grain and grass from Yizhou and the capital to Shaanxi, you can still make money even after deducting such high freight. If you directly cultivate the land and sell the grain to the army, how much freight will you save?

money?"

This is actually the third type of farming method besides military settlements and civilian settlements.

However, this method did not appear until the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty inherited the Song Dynasty system and implemented the salt import system, which means merchants are required to transport grain to the border for storage. The government will issue salt imports based on the distance of the road and the amount of grain transported, and the merchants will use the salt imports to the inland to collect salt and sell it.

Later, merchants simply hired people to colonize the border areas and paid local grain in exchange for salt. This method was called "Kaizhong".

It not only allows the government to save military food transportation costs, but also allows the wasteland on the border to be reclaimed, which is a very good method.

Of course, the premise is that the Ming army beat the Mongols until they screamed, and not the Xixia people like the Song Dynasty.

Shi Dongxiu was also obviously aware of this, and shook his head repeatedly: "I can't help it, I'm afraid it's just a meat cake to beat a dog..."

A few people were chatting lively when they heard a boy coming to report: "Zhixian Zhang is here to visit."

Everyone stood up quickly to greet them. Zhang Shu took a look and said, "Oh, Mingrun is here too. Chief Longshan really doesn't care about you?"

Speaking of this, Su You said angrily: "Every morning and evening, that's four hours, no less. On weekdays, I still have to memorize notes at every opportunity."

Zhang Shu laughed loudly: "Everyone comes here like this."

Su You became even more jealous: "That's not the case with Bachelor Zhang."

Zhang Shu couldn't laugh at all: "Mingrun, don't mention my father in front of me in the future. It will be very stressful."

After saying that, I remembered something: "Where is Zizhan? I haven't settled the score with him yet!"

This is what happened recently.

When Su Xun went to Mianzhou, he passed by Chengdu and stopped by Zhang Fangping. As soon as Zhang Fangping saw Su Xun, he accepted him as a scholar and asked, "I heard that your Zizhan is very knowledgeable. What is he doing now?"

Su Xun replied: "Zizhan has been re-copying the Book of Han recently."

Zhang Fangping is famous for his super memory. As the saying goes, "you no longer read a book after you've seen it", he was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Have you read the text twice?"

When news of the incident came back to Meishan, Su Shi was so angry that he threw the book down: "I don't know that there are people in the world who have read it three times!"
