Chapter 271 The ship has arrived

"For the safety of the elder brother, it is best to change your name and become a businessman. For specific communication, please contact the elder brother from the Tingfeng Pavilion in the Sanhua Building. Someone will also teach you how to use the theodolite."

"Barbarians don't understand the Sanskrit numerical coordinates. You only need to conduct business along the way, carefully explore the situation of the barbarians, and have the caravan regularly send the measurement record book to the people who contact you at Sitong Trading Company. If someone discovers it, you can only recommend it.

It is said to be an account book, so we are not afraid of leaking secrets."

"The situation in Shaanxi is different from that of Erlin and Dali. Offense is the best defense. It is best to develop some teams that can penetrate into Xixia, regardless of thieves, private salt dealers, and foreign merchants. Lure them with generous benefits and use strict authority.

Take them and let them be used by me to spy on intelligence, survey and map, and gradually penetrate into Xixia territory and their high-level officials."

After saying that, he took out a colorful slip: "This thing is of no use in Bianjing, but it is a good thing in the southwest. It is called a deposit receipt. When I get to Yizhou, I can use this as my basis and change my identity."

Wang Shao opened the order and almost dropped it into the soup in fright when he saw several lines of words written on it: Chief Accountant of Sitong Bank, shop of 30,000 guan of silver, see the single verification seal, set up a branch and take it according to each position.

Don't put off mistakes.

Instead of refusing, Wang Shao put the list away in a precious place close to his body. With his heart pounding, he stood up and bowed: "I am so lucky to meet Mingrun. I am sure I will live up to my trust."

Su You also stood up and returned the gift: "It's not because of Mingrun's support, but because the emperor and Song Dynasty are in urgent need of cheering up, and they must rely on the ambition of the elder brother. Brother Zichun, this plan will not take ten years to succeed. If something happens, it needs to be left to be useful.

, Serve the country. Don’t hesitate when it comes to giving up, and don’t care about temporary gains and losses. Safety always comes first.”

Wang Shao had mixed feelings. He felt that anything he said at this moment was empty talk, so he simply sat down again and said, "It's been a long and dusty journey here, and it's probably all cheese and slurry. I don't dare to live up to the meal in front of me. I don't know what it will be when I eat it next time."

It's time."

Su You smiled and said: "This matter is easy to do. When the eldest brother becomes successful, the younger brother will definitely organize another show for the eldest brother to reminisce about today's friendship."

After seeing Wang Shao off, Su Shi and Su You turned back to the alley.

Su Shi shook his head: "Mingrun, your hearts are too big."

Su You said: "Is it big? Salt, summer and silver sand have been the territory since the Han Dynasty. Jin'ou will not be completed for hundreds of years. Shouldn't we continue to take it?"

Su Shi said: "That's true, but the current situation in the country..."

Su You smiled and said: "Yes, so I just have to be prepared and wait for the next day. I didn't say that we should build up our troops now and seize the wolf's place in Xu."

Su Shi still shook his head: "If my mother knows that you spend money like water, I'm afraid..."

Su You smiled and said: "This is the private money I have saved over the past few years. I don't need to let my sister-in-law know."

Su Shi was angry and stuck his elbow on Su You's neck: "You have so much private money! You still sell mirrors to pretend to be poor! Hurry up and lend me a thousand guans. The Ten Thousand Surnames of the Grand Prime Minister's Temple petitioned for a painting of the Right Army

Calligraphy, this is almost worrying me to death..."

Su You struggled to defend: "You are a Jinshi master, not Cuo Da... If you can use the Xianjing salt banknotes in Bianjing, then you can, otherwise it is just a pile of waste paper. You are really poor... Oh, let go of Futou."

It’s about to fall off…”



It didn't take long for the uncle and nephew to fight over money. In October, the big ship led by Xue Zhong finally arrived.

The strange sail shape of Meishan Type 2 attracted the attention of everyone on both sides of the Bianhe River.

Xue Zhong tried to make as few stops as possible along the way, but one-fifth of the goods were still confiscated by officials along the way.

Even so, Xue Zhong was still very satisfied, because when the things on the ship arrived here, they were not the same price as where they were shipped from Yizhou.

Starting at three times, there is no cap on five times.

Xue Zhong looked at Shi Tong and Qidi Longshan who came to pick up the boat and made an ugly show of merit: "Qidi, Dazhi, you don't know my hard work along the way. You see, I have lost weight..."

Shi Tong looked up and down: "Sorry, I didn't see it."

Qidi also nodded: "The fat man is detained on the boat and cannot move around, and he has become even fatter."

Xue Zhong rolled his eyes: "Don't make trouble, where is my benefactor? Why didn't my benefactor come?"

Su Xiaomei took the record book and prepared to receive the bits and pieces packed by Su You: "The young master has gone to Shijiazhuangzi to collect water spinach."

Xue Zhong was dumbfounded: "Pork...pork...the cargo on this ship is not as good as the rice..."

Su Xiaomei said: "Brother Xue, please hurry up. The young master said that the seasonings at home are about to be used up, so he has to hurry up and make up for it. He wants to see that everything in the kitchen is ready in the evening."

Well, he is still my foodie benefactor! Xue Zhong smiled: "Then hurry up, we really can't delay this!"

People from the transportation department came and then left.

The value of this cargo is difficult to estimate. It is too high. They must go back and report it first.

People from the tooth shop come and go.

After looking at the goods, they felt that they might not be delicious, and they didn't even dare to mess around without permission. They had to first notify the stewards of wealthy families in the city, and they would select the remaining ones that could be seen in the Bianjing market.

Xue Zhong had no choice but to deposit all the goods in the forwarding department's warehouse at the dock, and then ask the people from the forwarding department to affix seals and send people to guard the goods.

All of this requires money, and the governors of Meizhou have all made money off of this. Of course, there is nothing new where the sun can shine.

Su You didn't care about the other side. In the winter in Bianjing, I heard that there weren't many vegetables, so life might not be as easy as in Meishan.

Therefore, growing and harvesting Chinese cabbage is a top priority for foodies.

Shijia Farm cooks cabbage, radish, and mustard heads very well. After all, Bianjing has more people and more strength, so the difference in manure between that in Meishan and Meishan is huge.

In the past few months, the farm has dug many cellars and half-buried many large vats. Today is the time to collect and store.

Zhuangtou admired the future son-in-law of the Shi family with great admiration. I heard that such cabbage and radishes were all seeds brought from the south. One tree could top the previous three in Zhuangzi!

Zhang Zao and Zhang Qi felt that this scene was very similar to the days of the Tutu Temple. They ordered the farmers to cut radishes, cut mustard heads, dry them, and adjust spices. They were very busy.

There are also cabbage, pickled cabbage, and pork vermicelli stew, which are great in winter.

Su You directed the others to peel off the leaves and put various vegetables into the cellar.

Another piece of land was built, consisting of rows of half-meter-deep soil ridges, sealed at both ends, with drainage ditches around them, for planting chives.

Then we collected a large amount of peas and soybeans from Zhuangzi, and we can grow bean sprouts in the greenhouse at home in winter.

We also prepared humus soil and basswood sticks to see if we can cultivate mushrooms and fungus, but this all depends on God's will.

Therefore, Xue Zhong should forgive Su You for thinking that he was very busy and had no time to see the arrival of the big ship.

However, Su You was very dissatisfied with the large truck that the village used to transport goods.

It is rumored that four-wheeled vehicles existed in the Sui Dynasty, which achieved large-radius steering through loose rear wheel offset. Su You guessed that this was enough, since he had indeed never seen a free-turning four-wheeled vehicle.

Nowadays, the largest vehicle used to transport goods in the Song Dynasty is called the Taiping Car. The name Su You doesn't know whether it is very auspicious or very unlucky. Anyway, one car can transport four to five thousand kilograms, but it is still two-wheeled and uses a lot of cattle and

Mules are the driving force and the speed is very slow.

The roads in Bianjing, at least from the inner and outer cities to some suburbs, were in acceptable condition. Su You felt that he had something to do again.

Shi Tong is already extremely familiar with the bearings of folding knives. After seeing the structural diagram of Su You's four-wheeled carriage, Shi Tong was very proud: "This steering shaft is a large folding knife bearing, but the blade has become a front-wheel carriage.

The scabbard becomes a rear wheel frame, it’s a very simple thing.”

"Well, that's really smart, but there is a problem. Even with a bogie, when turning, the relative speeds of the inner and outer wheels are still equal, so there is still sliding friction between the inner wheel and the ground when turning. It's no problem at low speeds. In the future, driving at high speeds

It may be unstable. Have you considered this issue?"

"Well……"
