The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 144 The world after Liang Xin’s death

Liang Xin was talking about money.

Zhao Ji shook his head: "I'm not good at this."

Liang Xin briefly explained: "The Qingmiao Law says that you can borrow 140 yuan and pay back [-] yuan. In fact, in many places, you can borrow [-] yuan and pay back [-] yuan, and even borrow [-] yuan and pay back [-] yuan. As a result, farmers have lost their families, their money has not been paid, their land has stopped being cultivated, people have fled, and the state treasury can no longer collect taxes."

"So, only within a reasonable range can the revenue of the treasury be increased. Depending on the money in your hand, using this method, each person can steadily earn 500 million guan. How to explain these 500 million guan? Even if you let go and play, you don't have to spend money. Book."

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up when he heard that he was allowed to play without having to spend his money, "Seriously?"

"Basically, it's almost the same. Even if my calculations are wrong, I can still reach 350% of the prediction. That's a net income of [-] yuan."

"Then do it, do it."

Why did Liang Xin raise the issue with Zhao Ji?

Because the emperors of the Song Dynasty all saved some money. When it came to Zhao Ji, the previous emperors had saved a total of about 5000 million yuan. However, after Cai Jing came to power, all the money was spent within a few years.

Liang Xin added: "I plan to build a new mint in Raozhou. It will belong to the royal mint. All the money minted will belong to you. At least 50 coins can be minted every year."

"Do it, do it, this needs to be done. But why choose Raozhou?"

Liang Xin: "Someone accidentally discovered that there is a copper mine in Raozhou. I don't know how big the copper mine is yet, but it is not small. The mine is found after digging out a layer of soil three feet deep. Wu Juhou's accounting is quite good."

Zhao Ji: "Is there any copper?"

Liang Xin answered with certainty: "I'm sure there is, but we still need to send someone to investigate in detail."

Zhao Ji: "Send more people."

Liang Xin stood up, took out a few stones from the bag and put them on the table: "I took them from my father-in-law. Brother Yi, you should write a book about the stones in the world. This piece was given by a local small businessman. I feel very good about the seal stone, so I brought it to you specially."

Zhao Ji was moved in his heart. If Liang Xin had any good things, he would immediately think of them and give them to him.

Picking up the stone, Zhao Ji's eyes changed: "It feels like a Shoushan stone, but it is different. This stone is fine, clean, moist, greasy, warm and condensed. This is the best seal stone, that's it." piece?"

Liang Xin: "It's just a piece. I heard I got it by chance."

Zhao Ji raised his head and looked at Liang Xin, his voice was extremely gentle: "Brother Xin..." and he made a long sound.

Liang Xin felt goosebumps all over the floor, but she also understood what Zhao Ji meant. After thinking about it, she said, "Well, I will arrange for someone to look for it. Since it was found by chance, there must be a source."

"You are the best." Zhao Ji was very happy.

Liang Xin knew what the piece in her hand was.

Probably know.

It should be Tian Huang.

He also knew where Tian Huang was looking.

However, he is not in a hurry.

Liang Xin would not be willing to do this if there was no follow-up and it was just to find rocks.

After coming out of the palace, Liang Xin returned home.

Because of Zhang Dun's call, everyone arrived.

Today's scribes are Zhang Ze and Fan Zhengping. It was supposed to be Fan Zhengguo, Fan Chunren's fifth son, but Fan Zhengping shamelessly asked to come.

He is no small official.He is 44 years old this year and is currently the Bianjing Lieutenant. He is a civil official and a military official. Among all the official positions in Kaifeng Prefecture, he ranks fourth, followed by Quan Zhi Kaifeng Prefecture, Tong Zhi, Judge and then him.

He is in charge of official affairs, official records, etc.

In charge of transportation, terminals, public security, etc.

He is also in charge of military duties such as inspections of the left and right armies. Zhan Zhao belongs to the official position of inspection and inspection of the left and right armies.

Why did Fan Zhengping come so shamelessly? Because when his uncle Fan Chunli heard that Zhang Dun sent people to look for him, he only said that he wanted to hear some knowledge that he had never heard before. Fan Chunli threw down the bowl and ran to Liang Mansion without even changing his clothes. .

Fan Zhengping came shamelessly after being encouraged by his father.

As for Liang Xin, she doesn't care.

At this time, all those who dared to come to the east cross courtyard of my house were not afraid of being beheaded. In the words of Su Shi, the people here were all traitors to the country, bad guys who deceived the emperor and tried to evade the imperial power.

Of course, the emperor is nothing, so this can still be done.

What Liang Xin talked about started very simply.

Before time travel, let alone college students, many high school students could tell the truth.

The primary industry is the cornerstone, the secondary industry is the pillar, and the tertiary industry is a mere decoration and a cloud.

Although it was the first time to hear it, no one sitting here was an ordinary person, and they quickly understood what Liang Xin was talking about.

Su Shi asked: "Brother Xin, what is the difference between a weaving workshop with thousands of people and one weaving at home with hundreds of households? Aren't they all spinning and weaving cloth one after another?" ?"

"No!"

Liang Xin put a blackboard on the table and took out the chalk: "What is industrialization? Shen Chong and I are studying a kind of machinery. Let's go back to Qiuwei first. Why do I want to change Qiuwei and turn the imperial examination into Science is used to determine scholars. If science is used to determine scholars, then given time, this kind of machine will definitely appear, maybe a hundred years or hundreds of years."

"This machine is called a steam engine. When developed to its extreme, it is equivalent to the power of thousands of oxen and horses, pulling hundreds of thousands of loads of grain, and can reach Shanzhou in a day and night."

"Can it be made?"

Liang Xin shook his head: "It's not that it's impossible, but it's very difficult. First of all, the steel production in the Song Dynasty is insufficient, and the strength of steel is not enough. Secondly, this kind of advanced machinery requires the strength and precision of parts, not castings, but forgings, and It cannot be forged by manpower. Each part weighs several thousand kilograms, and the manpower is insufficient."

"Then it comes down to the details, standard parts, lubrication, sealing..."

Liang Xin simply talked about what a steam engine is and what industrialization is.

Su Shi said that he probably understood: "One hundred households of weavers, each with a loom, can weave far less cloth. A steam engine as you mentioned can drive a larger and faster loom. What about linen? Linen is still needed. People plant it.”

Liang Xin: "So, the primary industry is the cornerstone. If there is a steam tractor, it can plow a hundred acres of land a day and night. How many tenants and cows can that compare to?"

Zhang Dun: "We don't quite understand it yet, so we should explain it in detail."

Liang Xin: "No more talking. Within a month, Shen Chong and I will build a small machine that can help you understand the principles."

"Very good, but you still have to talk." Zhang Dun wanted to listen.

It wasn't out of curiosity, what he wanted to hear was that after Liang Xin died once, the sky became his teacher and allowed him to live in a dream-like world for decades, and he learned a lot.

Therefore, Zhang Dun wanted to hear what Liang Xin learned in the world after death.

I heard some today.

This machine called a steam engine is a divine object. One machine can carry the power of thousands of cattle and horses. It is definitely not something that the mortal world can think of.
