The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 601

"That's why I often tell you that you just don't study, and you suffer unresolved losses. It is recorded in Han Shu, and Yuzhang comes out of stone, which can be burned as salary. You are not even as knowledgeable as the people in Han Dynasty. What's wrong with the thick smoke? Just put a chimney up."

Song Jiang obviously didn't want to discuss the issue of charcoal. In his opinion, it was a trivial matter. Instead, he said: "Young Zai, Yao Pingzhong chased all the way to the Baiyu River, and Wang Tian and Zong Ze also sent troops to confront the Tartars across the river. As long as they fight across the river, no matter how strong the Jurchen is, they are exhausted, and there is no point in staying here, so we might as well go to the front line."

Yang Lin's voice was a little dry, he pressed Su Yina's hand, patted it and said, "Go get a cup of tea."

"Gongming, let's wait until the battle on the grassland is over, press down on the border from the west, encircle the Jurchen on three sides, and then attack soon. Now that the initiative is in our hands, why rush it?"

Song Jiang also knew this truth, but the victory was just around the corner, so he couldn't wait any longer.

"This time I won the victory and returned to the court, the officials and others have already made arrangements. As long as there is one less sentence, the officials..."

Yang Lin interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said: "I know this matter well, you all just listen to my arrangement, don't make up your own mind."

Song Jiang admired secretly in his heart, Shao Zai's determination was extremely unattainable, and he was not in a hurry for such a big event.

In fact, he is not Yang Lin, and he does not understand Yang Lin's state of mind at this time. For Yang Lin, the throne is within easy reach, but it is handled smoothly, and if he is not careful, there will be endless troubles.

Anyway, it can't run away, so why should I be in a hurry to take the position? Now in the Great Song Dynasty, Man Chaowu still listens to his orders.

When Su Yina came with two cups of tea, Yang Lin got up and sent Song Jiang away.

Looking at his back, Yang Lin closed his eyes and sighed. Su Yina put down the tray and asked, "Da Lang, what's wrong?"

Yang Lin returned to the couch, wrapped her in his hands, and put her across his knees. One hand was poked under Cui Luo's skirt, and the other took a sip from the teacup, and said, "I'm a little worried. I'll wear a yellow robe."

"What happened to the yellow robe? By the way, what is the yellow robe?"

......

Outside Bianliang City, a group of people gathered in front of an open space. Among the crowd, there was a bright metal machine.

Many people held charcoal pencils and kraft paper in their hands, waiting to be recorded.

A young man who looked a little thin approached, clasped his fists with trembling hands, and said: "Everyone, the student is Shen An from the Jiangning School. This is a machine developed by our Jiangning School. It can use firepower to pump water from deep wells. .”

Everyone around nodded their heads one after another, and there was an older one, who was obviously Jia Xian.He was a little impatient and said, "Let's start quickly."

"That's right, what is the hype?"

The young man became even more nervous. He poured some fire oil into an iron container, lit it, and shoveled some coke with a shovel.

After a while, thick smoke billowed out, and in an instant the young man had become a black man.

The people around scolded and fled in all directions. Jia Xian covered his mouth while scolding, and when he was far away, he was still cursing, but from a distance, he could only see that the two rows of teeth were white.

On the banks of the Bian River, a group of people sat together, and one of the "blacks" was dejected, and said in a weeping voice: "We are doing well in Jiangning, who knows that the charcoal here is so unbearable, and it is incomparable with Changzhou."

"It's all your fault. I said bring charcoal, but you said it's all the same, just to save a few carriages and horses. Now it's all right, our efforts are all in vain."

Shen An went to the river, washed his face, rubbed it vigorously, slapped his palm on the water, and cursed: "I'm not reconciled! Originally, we could become famous in one fell swoop and win this year's Xiulou bounty."

Coal is the same as petroleum. If it is not refined, most of the coal will emit thick smoke, which is scary.

However, the coal in some places is unique, we call it anthracite, and the coke used in Suzhou’s ironmaking is silver-gray, with metallic luster, hard and porous, and it is also a good coal.

These people who came all the way from Jiangning, after making a joke, packed their luggage overnight and were going to leave tomorrow.

After all, the housing price in Bianliang was too high, and they couldn't get the bonus from the Xiulou, so it was difficult for them to even live in a restaurant.

In the office of the Ministry of Education, there was noise inside early in the morning, mixed with very crisp laughter.

Supported by several concubines, Cai Jing walked halfway, when he heard a voice asking, "What's going on in Bianliang today that makes a few people here so happy?"

The yamen servant who was cleaning the courtyard stepped forward and said with a smile: "Back to the Grand Master, those who laughed inside were yesterday in the west of Bianliang City. People are all dyed with black charcoal, hehe, what a coincidence, our Li Qianban is also among them..."

Cai Jing was taken aback when he heard the words, and his face turned ugly. Li Qingzhao was his relative, but she had just been widowed, and she went to the suburbs to join in the fun.

But thinking of a person who loves cleanliness so much and being stained with black charcoal, I guess I won't feel good.

Cai Jing smiled, then stared suddenly, turned around and asked: "The firepower to fetch water, is it taken up?"

"Hey, as soon as the thick smoke rolled away, everyone scattered like birds and beasts, who knows if it was taken out or not."

Cai Jing stood firm, and said: "Send someone to find them and send them to the teacher. This is the result of the Jiangning school building, and it is the achievement of our teacher. You people are just making fun of it."

"If we can fetch water from the depths, then why should we be afraid of drought? If we don't pay close attention to such political achievements and hand them over to others, it will be too late to cry."

Cai Jing was in the teaching department, and he said that he was right, and immediately a public official went to look for the person in the Jiangning school building.

This group of people is now a celebrity in Bianliang, and they know where they are as soon as they inquire, and most of them are laughing.

Fortunately, there is a mixed bag of good and bad people in Bianliang, and any kind of ugliness will not last too long as a topic, and will soon be forgotten.

A group of people who were about to go out of the city were politely invited to the instructor. Who knew Cai Jing's name, everyone was refreshed first.

Randomly thought, did he accidentally hurt some noble person yesterday, causing the yamen to come to his door, and he was a little timid.

When they got to the instructor, they found out that Taishi Cai was interested in their firepower to fetch water, so he introduced the "sinner" Shen An, and explained it to Cai Jing excitedly.

This simple steam engine water pump uses the principle of vacuum pressure. Even Cai Jing, who is rich and rich, can't understand a word.

Finally, I heard that it was because of the coal problem, so I asked them to choose good coal and try again.

In the autumn of the third year of Xuanhe, the year when Yang Xue spread all over the land, the steam engine was born.

Chapter 672 Set Fire to the Palace

Faint clouds hung in the distant sky, and a few groups of wild geese flew south.

Climbing high and looking far away, the mountains and rivers in the northwest make people open-minded.

The westerly wind blew, and the vegetation slanted everywhere. In the city of Xingzhou at the foot of the mountain, there was smoke from cooking.

Since then, the river has diverted and passed, like two white drills, hanging on the ground.

On the edge of the cliff, Song Jiang put his hands behind his back, and his voice was a little high:

"Nostalgic for the past, ascending to the sky, one step higher is one step higher. Come to the autumn scenery to say goodbye to the autumn geese, and revisit the old place to miss the old friend."

In the gazebo on the top of the mountain, Yang Lin laughed loudly and said: "Gongming has so many friends, is there any old friend of yours in the northwest? I think you are just expressing your sorrow for writing new words."

Song Jiang turned around, walked slowly into the pavilion, sighed and said, "Young Zai has wronged Song Jiang. He was ordered to guard the northwest and made many brothers. Now they are all fighting in the Baiyu River. A few have already died on the battlefield."

Yang Lin remained silent, this is this era, it is wonderful, but it is also extremely cruel.
