Chapter 59 Coincidence
The pink peach petals fell, and the greedy fish chased the petals on the water, causing ripples.
Seeing everyone burying the stone tablets into the soil, Du Zhongxiao said to Su Song: "The monument is here for a record. Since then, the land between the Bian River and Huan River in Yongcheng County has been used as a business for land management. There is a big river barrier, so it is not easy for idle people to roam. The inscription was written by Zirong. Thousands of years later, people also knew that if this area is fertile land, you would have a contribution. - It is late spring, and if you want to go back to Suzhou to handle government affairs, I will not be able to stay. When the autumn comes, I will come to Suzhou to see you, and we will meet again."
Su Song bowed and said goodbye, stepped onto the official ship that he had been waiting for, and took care of Du Zhongxiao.
Ma Meng's case has been completely concluded. Su Song was promoted to the governor and his duties have not changed. After this time, Su Song was promoted to the position and was promoted to the Beijing official. After leaving the election, whether it was a signing or a magistrate, the promotion of Jinshi would be soon.
The development of the steam engine reached a bottleneck, and as long as the pressure was further increased and the sealing problem was solved, it would be practical. Su Song brought a set of drawings back and went to Suzhou to continue his research. The two discussed with Han Jiang and tried to make practical machines within two or three years.
The country is facing internal and external troubles, and faces various crises. There are many solutions. But the most violent and simplest thing is to rely on the progress of science and technology. As long as this step is taken large enough, all constraints will be smashed to pieces, and the entire society's progress is unstoppable. In Du Zhongxiao's previous life, this progress was called a technological revolution, which can not only change the face of society, but also ensure the prosperity of the country for hundreds of years. The invention of the steam engine is such technological progress. The core of the industrial revolution is enough to open a new era.
He has been in Bozhou for more than half a year. Although he is busy with government affairs, Du Zhongxiao still has a rough understanding of the political situation of this era. He has also thought about a lot of contents of political reforms, but after thinking about it, there is little room for development on this. According to the historical knowledge learned in his previous life, it is difficult to have any reforms that have become more dynamic than Wang Anshi's reform. Many of the solutions he thought of were either proposed or had signs of signs. It is nothing more than the specific content. Due to actual restrictions, there is still a lot of room for improvement. However, Wang Anshi's reform encountered such great resistance, so why would he not encounter resistance if he proposed an improved version? He did not have the ability of Wang Anshi, and he was academia to suppress the world.
The more he learned, the more Du Zhongxiao realized that political reform was too great, and finally gave up this path. It would be better to carry out a major technological revolution and use economic violence to smash the social structure of this era. As for what monsters will appear in the end, let Wang Anshi and Sima Guang fight. The country's strength is strong to a certain extent, and it will be like a tiger to the neighboring countries. They will walk into the flock of sheep, laughing and fighting casually, and the flock cannot do anything to the tiger. The system that is truly suitable for this era cannot give an answer in history, so it is better to let the people of this era fight out by themselves.
Seeing the boat Su Song was riding gradually fading away, Du Zhongxiao turned to Baozheng, who came to see him off, saying: "In the future, anyone who comes to join the field business will have technicians and craftsmen, and they must review the government. There is no other place to be used before they can be incorporated into each village. After you go back, check the people and households in your own villages. No matter how skilled they have, they will not only come to the blacksmith and carpenters, including medical books, and all of them will come to see me in the county government!"
Everyone agreed and said goodbye to Du Zhongxiao.
Seeing everyone leaving, Du Zhongxiao let out a light breath. He decided not to use his brain in politics, but to make every effort to make breakthroughs in the technology he is good at, and suddenly felt much more relaxed. Those troubles should be asked to use their brains to those who like to make trouble. Collect all the craftsmen in the county, Du Zhongxiao saw what other technologies he could do, and also found something for himself.
The magistrate is busy with his job and can't be idle every day. But if you don't care so much, you're actually very leisurely. There are county magistrates in the criminal prison and chief clerks in economic affairs. As long as you know how to delegate power and how to supervise, you can also easily.
Before he passed the Jinshi, Du Zhongxiao was determined to get the Jinshi exam, and all his time and energy were devoted to it. After passing the Jinshi, he was thinking about how to come up with his own reform plan in this era, which was quite a bit like comparing with those of Wang Anshi. Now he finally thought about it. He was too persistent before. He always thought about having more knowledge for a thousand years. Who is like me in this era? In fact, why are you fighting for this?
If you have time, make some small inventions and study more technical problems, you will make the greatest contribution to this era. As long as you really promote the steam engine, you can push all the way through Khitan Dangxiang. Without foreign enemies, the greatest danger of this era will be gone. In your memory, the Song Dynasty did not pass the juncture of life and death internally. At that time, the steam engine was loaded onto the ship and the entire earth could have fun at will.
In my spare time, I often go to the people to learn about the sufferings of the people and the social conditions of this era. If I have time, listen to music and read books. According to Su Song, this is the life that I should have as a scholar.
Saying goodbye to everyone, Du Zhongxiao crossed the Bian River on a ferry, and did not ride a horse, slowly walked towards the county town.
Yongcheng is an ancient city with intact walls. However, the area inside the city is not large, and the wharf and most commercial activities are in the city. The road from the wharf to the city gate is particularly prosperous. There are many shops on both sides of the road, selling all kinds of food.
When Du Zhongxiao saw a wonton stall on the roadside, he was on a whim and sat on the stall to order a bowl of wontons. While eating, he looked at the surrounding flowers and green willows and colorful tassels. He felt like he was moving. He set up a snack street in this section and didn’t know how his business was. This is the most prosperous section of the Bian River. I don’t know how many boats pass by here every day. If it becomes famous, it is also a local scene. In my previous life, I had to set up a snack street in a city, and it was called a food street. Many of them are the most lively places. In Bianjing, snacks are also very rich.
Yongcheng is located at the junction of north-south, Yingtian Prefecture in the northwest, Xuzhou in the northeast, and Jianghuai to the south. Not only is the transportation convenient, but the tastes of guests from the south and the north are mixed. If you follow your memories of your previous life, it will be interesting to think about it.
While Du Zhongxiao was thinking about it, a woman on the table next to her stood up and asked her entourage to settle the meal. She bowed to Du Zhongxiao: "I wonder if you ask the official, do you know that there is a Wai Qu Wu Niang in this city, where is she living?"
Du Zhongxiao looked up at the woman. She was dressed in half-new clothes. The material looked either silk or satin. She had curved eyebrows and red lips, her face was like a silver moon, and she had a bit of beauty, but had a bit of dust. A tall and strong man next to her, with a knotty muscles on her body. She stood on one side with a shoulder pole and stared at her fiercely. Another thirteen-year-old girl stood beside the man and turned around to look at a tree of peach blossoms by the river.
Qu Wuniang, a singer who lived here in a foreign land, happened to be met by herself, took in by herself, and ate a bowl of wontons by herself. Someone happened to ask her, which was too coincidental.
Putting down the spoon in his hand, Du Zhongxiao asked casually: "I know Qu Wuniang, but I just don't know who you are?"
The woman said, "The concubine Lu Saisei is a sister who is close to Qu Wuniang. Because she heard that she found a good family here, she came to join her."
