Song Beiyun

"Tell me, how good is this airtightness..."

Chapter 375: On July 7 of the second year, it was sunny and harmless to humans and animals, Song Beiyun

When Song Beiyun was worried, a notice was quietly posted on the gate of the city, with the words "The first engineering college in the Song Dynasty is online, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has personally listed it" written on the most conspicuous place.

Many people came here attracted by the name, but after reading it carefully, some people returned disappointed, because the people who came out of this engineering college did not teach the Four Books and Five Classics but taught some essential skills for workers and peasants. Although they were hosted by the Ministry of Industry, they could not Obtaining fame and fame, this one alone makes many students who have failed in the test daunting.

However, the supplementary assignment of work after graduation has aroused the interest of many young workers and peasants. Originally, this master-leading apprentice is the basic way of the Song Dynasty. After working for three years, this is considered a teacher.But this engineering college has taken a different approach, directly saying that Bao will be assigned a job after graduation in three years, and although there is no salary during the study period, it can manage food and lodging.

This article gave many children from poor families a glimmer of light, and many of them signed up with the attitude of giving it a try.

"Have you heard that if you can read and write, you will get a monthly subsidy if you sign up, and if you can't read, you can have some kind of literacy class."

"What is a literacy class?"

"It's a place to teach people how to read."

"Can you read?"

"Ok!"

The spread of news in the market is very fast. In the eyes of many people, literacy is already a person who has read books. Who would not want their child to be a person who has read books? Wouldn't it be a fool to be able to teach books and not wait for good things to happen?

The number of people who signed up suddenly increased, and those people from the bottom of the society and the most looked down upon people flocked over, although it was stated when they signed up that this was not a serious admission, but just a study of engineering.

But people don't care, they only see the engineering college run by the imperial court, they only see that they are provided with food, housing, work, and can read and write. What is there to be dissatisfied with?

And when it was in full swing here, several inspectors of the court had already stood in front of Zhao Xiang. They were full of righteous indignation and blamed Song Beiyun, and among them they told about the private running of the school.

"The engineering school he runs, can it be called a school? It's degrading!"

"Exactly, Mr. Xiangguo, you are the head of all officials, you must not condone such behavior."

Zhao Xiang raised his head slightly to look at the people in front of him, then lowered his head slightly: "Can engineering be admitted into the imperial examination?"

"That's not possible, but..." One of them was still arguing: "But isn't this just deviant?"

"What is deviant?" Zhao Xiang put down his pen and said, "More people work in agriculture, even if they don't know shit, is it better than committing crimes? Besides, it's too early to say shit doesn't make sense, why don't we wait and see?"

"Master Zhao! This wind can't last long!"

"Exactly, this son of Song Beiyun is a perverse and sycophantic person, why can the court tolerate him?"

Zhao Xiang took a sip of tea from the thin steel cup and chuckled, "Everyone, have you heard of Po Meng?"

Several inspectors glanced at each other, Po Meng and the others knew it, but what did it have to do with Song Beiyun?

"There are many records in the classics that the gods in the sky are fighting all over, and even the king of Yama can't hide, but this Meng Po has remained motionless for thousands of years. Do you know why?"

Several inspectors looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what the intention of Zhao Xiang's sudden witticism was.

"You ask me, why the court can tolerate Song Beiyun, but I would like to ask you, why can't you? He has no backing, no tools, no ambition, no corruption. He is just a person who does things. Why? Want to move him? Just like Meng Po in the underworld, the gods in the sky and the earth, who do you see provoke it? It’s not that you can’t afford it, it’s because you have no intention of hearing it. Why did you move that Meng Po? Give you a spoonful of soup?"

After all, Zhao Xiang continued: "Everyone, this engineering study was proposed by Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. You say that Song Beiyun is just a person who handles affairs. I think this engineering study is not a serious problem, and I will study with you And without conflict, why not just give it a try?"

Zhao Xiang's remarks made this group of people speechless. They were only angry with Song Beiyun's style of work today, and the rest was nothing. The party is in chaos, no matter how hot you hate it, it is hard to say anything.

So when Zhao Xiang reminded them, they turned their heads and nailed the target to Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, but they also felt troubled when they thought of Zhang Shangshu. They also knew where the Ministry of Industry was, and Zhang Shangshu was a stable person. , How can someone who can become a minister step by step be something they can settle with a few words?

"Old friends, don't be in a hurry, go to my house to have a few glasses of water at night." Zhao Xiang said with a smile: "I made some strong wine, as for how strong it is, you will only know after drinking it."

Several of them were alcoholics, and they immediately became excited when they heard this, and after a few words, they temporarily put the matter of engineering and study behind them and started a family routine with Zhao Xiang.

When everything was going on, Fo Baonu had already had a drink with Song Emperor Zhao Xing in the imperial garden.

Although Fo Baonu is only the prince of the Liao Kingdom, after all, she and Zhao Xing are old acquaintances. The two had met several times when they were in Hebei in the early years, and they were similar in age. It's better to directly reject her invitation.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, when I saw you that year, you were still the eldest son, and now you are the emperor. It is indeed destiny."

"Prince Yelu is too polite." Zhao Xing said with a smile, "I don't know why Brother Yelu came to drink with me today?"

"You and I are a brotherly alliance. I have been in the Song Dynasty for a while, and I have not come to visit the Zhao family brother. I still have some thoughts in my heart. Please don't blame my brother. After all, today is different from the past. You are already It's the king and I'm just an envoy."

"Prince Yelu is polite." Zhao Xing said with a smile, "Even if it's a personal relationship, it doesn't matter."

"By the way, I don't know if Emperor Song is satisfied with the national ceremony of the Liao Kingdom?"

"Of course I'm satisfied." Zhao Xing said with a smile, "Thank you Emperor Liao for my kindness."

In fact, as an emperor, it is against the rules to meet envoys from other countries in private, but Fo Baonu played a trick. She begged Zhao Xing to see him as an old friend, and Zhao Xing held his nose to meet him.

In fact, the two of them just met a few times when Zhao Xing was the eldest son, so there is no relationship to talk about, but... politics, isn't that the case.

The two played Tai Chi back and forth for a few rounds, and the topic was brought up to animal husbandry. Zhao Xing heard the joke, and quickly began to pretend, lamenting that the Song Dynasty not only lacked horses, but also lacked all kinds of meat.

At this time, Fo Baonu said generously: "The two countries are brothers, and our Liao Kingdom also has a large grassland. This matter is not difficult. At that time, the Liao Kingdom will sell to the Song Kingdom. But..."

Zhao Xing frowned: "I would like to hear the details."

"However, I heard that there is a capable minister in your country who handles things quickly. I hope that he will be the one who will supervise this matter in the Liao Kingdom."

"Who is it?" Zhao Xing was startled, and said in his heart, 'It's over, this is forcing Song Beiyun'.

"It's none other than Master Song Beiyun Song."

really!This shitty sissy!In Zhao Xing's heart, he had already scolded Fo Baonu's ancestors, but he still looked at Fo Baonu blankly: "Song Beiyun? But Song Beiyun, the envoy of the imperial city?"

"Exactly." Fo Baonu opened his fan and laughed lightly: "At that time, he will be the one who supervises the meat-eating business in the Liao Kingdom. Otherwise, let this matter go."

Zhao Xing sized Fo Baonu up and down, although he was handsome, he really didn't look like a woman, could it be that that bastard Song Gou could chew on such things?

With this question in mind, Zhao Xing said with difficulty: "I don't know why Prince Yelu is obsessed with a mere fifth-rank official?"

"A few days ago, I saw the demeanor of Mr. Song in Hangzhou. I think he must be a capable minister. I also heard that Mr. Song is not greedy or crazy. The meat business between the two countries is more than tens of millions. If you go to a corrupt official or I'm a mixed official, and I'm afraid I can't bear the loss of the two countries." Fo Baonu said with a smile on his face: "I'm also considering the trade between the two countries. Is it possible that His Majesty the Emperor is reluctant to let an official from the fifth rank go? ?”

It's bad, it's bad... it's really bad.

Beads of sweat began to ooze from Zhao Xing's forehead. He didn't know where Song Beiyun's bastard had provoked this sissy, but now the sissy opened her mouth to ask for someone!As the emperor of a country, he has made huge concessions in trade, and it can even be said that he has achieved his expectations without any effort. The condition is such a Song Beiyun. Logically speaking, this condition is too cheap to refuse. ah……

But Zhao Xing is probably the only one in the world who knows that this Song dog is worth much more than these pork, but the more you don't release the Liao Kingdom, the more you know that Song dog is valuable?

"This……"

"Your Majesty, don't rush, there is still a lot of time." Fo Baonu got up and bowed deeply: "Then I will take my leave first, and wait for the good news."

"No delivery."

When Lao Wang sent Fo Baonu back to Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing slapped the table and said, "Go! Call me Song Dog. How many times have I told him not to provoke him? What's wrong with him?" I just can’t understand human language! This sissy is not good at it!”

About an hour later, Song Beiyun, who was covered in soot, was pushed into the palace by the old king. Seeing his dark face, Zhao Xing leaned on the dragon chair and sighed: "You, you, you...you bastard Ah You."

Song Beiyun wiped the sweat off his brow, his face full of confusion: "???"

"Tell me, what did you do? How did you provoke that sissy?"

"Which one?" Song Beiyun was still at a loss: "No, you asked Lao Wang to call me here aggressively, and then said something inexplicable. What are you going to do? Sir, I'm really busy! Look at me like this Sister, I was really dragged out from under the stove by Lao Wang. Didn’t he say that if you have nothing to do, don’t look for me.”

The old eunuch nodded again and again: "When I went to look for Mr. Song, he was drilling into the furnace."

"Something has happened! Something has happened!" Zhao Xing sighed, "Oh, something really happened!"

Chapter 376: On July 7, 21

"No."

Song Beiyun shook his head and said, "I don't have that much time to spend with a Liao prince, it's not worth it."

"Then what should I do here?" Zhao Xing also sat there worrying: "He is pressing every step of the way now, which means that if I don't agree to let you go to the Liao Kingdom to take charge of this matter, he will not let go. "

"I can't help her."

Song Beiyun rubbed his nose: "If I can be threatened by her, then my name is Song Beiyun? Besides, do you know what will happen if I fall into her hands?"

"How will it be?"

"I won't be able to come back, and I will be detained in Liao Kingdom." Song Beiyun tapped the table lightly: "Really, Su Wu shepherds sheep, you know? Arrange for me to feed the cows by the Weishui River. What do you say?"

Xiao Song is of course cowardly, he is a person who cherishes his life, and he has offended Xiao Huya to the fullest, and now he opens his mouth to ask Zhao Xing's important person, using a trade offer as a hostage.If he was really taken to the Liao Kingdom, wouldn't the round and flat ones be handled by the little tiger's teeth?Is this okay?

"Who am I?" Xiao Song pointed to himself: "I want to hear your opinion."

"Hmm..." Zhao Xing was silent for a moment: "Cruel-hearted, unscrupulous, thick-faced, cruel, resourceful, resourceful, greedy for life and afraid of death, extravagant and lustful."

"Well, I don't have a good word." Song Beiyun sighed: "Okay, I admit it. You also know that I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If the sword of the Liao Kingdom is really on my neck, you think I will What will character do?"

Zhao Xing nodded lightly: "I will understand a little bit by then, but what you said was too direct, and you should be more tactful, don't say it is for me, you just say that you are willing to embarrass Da Song!"

"Oh...you haven't gotten tired of listening to this kind of talk on weekdays? There are a few loyal people who will be really loyal, but what can you do if they secretly betrayed Da Song? Look how good I am, I Let me tell you clearly, I am greedy for life and afraid of death, don't push me into the fire pit, I may be able to withstand money and beauty, but I really can't withstand torture." Song Beiyun waved his hand and said: "This matter Don't worry about it, I have a way to deal with this big! Emperor! Son!"

"Oh? Look at the way you gnash your teeth... it seems that you have hatred."

"Can you not hate it, that's all...it's quite complicated here, I won't tell you more, it's just like that, you can talk to her as you like, and I'll handle the rest." Song Beiyun got up and put Zhao Xing drank all the water in the glass: "You didn't even drink your saliva this trip, you really are not mean."

After finishing speaking, he walked out: "Let's go, I'm busy over there, and the boiler exploded again."

"En." Zhao Xing nodded.

But when Song Beiyun walked halfway, Zhao Xing suddenly called out: "Song Beiyun!"

Song Beiyun stopped in his tracks, tilted his head limply, and didn't even want to turn his body around. He just tilted his neck back slightly symbolically: "Huh?"

When Zhao Xing saw him like this, the shitty wolf Gu Zhixiang was clearly a wolf dog!That lazy look, no matter how you look at it, is a virtue that deserves to be beaten.

"I called you, are you not even willing to turn around?"

"Hi... alright, alright, I've turned around." Song Beiyun turned around: "What are you doing?"

"Be careful, pay attention to your body, I don't want my nephew to be born without a father."

"Understood." Song Beiyun turned around again, raised his hand and shook it: "Let's go."

Watching him disappear into the depths of the imperial garden, Old Wang leaned over and said with a smile: "Guan, you should feel relieved now."

Zhao Xing didn't speak, but just laughed a few times: "How can there be such a naughty man in the world. By the way, last time this guy killed, looted and raped Zhao Cheng, did you deal with it?"

"Back to the official's house, everything has been dealt with properly. Those who know about this matter in the Imperial City Division have already sealed their mouths, and they all know that they will die if they do this." Lao Wang bowed and said: "The official family..."

"I know what you're going to say. When you're old, stay by his side, and remind this guy at all times, lest he lose his humanity one day, and he will certainly not treat you badly."

"Thank you for your kindness..."

"Oh, that's right." Zhao Xing turned around and said, "You have to train Xiao Yu well these days, and I plan to let him take your place."

"Old slave understands."

After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he took a disgusted look at the cup that Song Beiyun had pinched a black handprint on, and sat there with a long sigh: "After all, no one is perfect. If Kuang Yusheng can have Song Beiyun's ability, Song Beiyun can have Kuang With Yusheng's character, I, Da Song, will definitely show off my ambitions."

"Officials... Excuse me for talking too much, according to this old slave, even with Song Beiyun, Da Song can make great achievements, but... maybe it won't be so good-looking."

"That's all, there is no reason why a country's affairs are good or bad. If he can make Da Song regain control of the Central Plains, what's the difficulty in giving him a prince with a different surname!"

Old Wang sighed lightly.

"Why are you sighing?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to see that day, but the officials will definitely see it."

"Hahahaha, I just let him hurry up."

After Song Beiyun returned to the workshop, he didn't have time to think about the round-faced little tiger teeth, so he got into the boiler directly, not caring at all that he was made ashamed.

Two hours later, it was almost dusk, and he was sitting next to the boiler with a group of master craftsmen and a few people from the R&D department, holding a bowl and discussing how to increase the airtightness while eating.

"If you want me to think, just make the stove bigger and use less power, so that it doesn't explode, so that the tube won't be easy to produce that kind of thing..."

"Steam hammer." Song Beiyun added: "Short-term strong impact at the exit, this is called a steam hammer."

"That's right, that's right, if you say that the master's family is great, you would know what's wrong as soon as we talked about it." A master craftsman nodded repeatedly: "It would be great if there is no such steam hammer."

There will definitely be steam hammer. Steam hammer is water hammer or water hammer phenomenon. Water hammer can occur in any steam or condensate pipeline, especially in multiphase flow systems, such as two-phase condensate systems. The situation is more serious.Obviously, as long as there is condensed water and flash steam or fresh steam in the steam system, there will be two phases of water and vapor, so this thing is inevitable.

This thing is a bit like the power of the first sip of water when you turn on the faucet, but the power of the steam hammer is even more terrifying, and it is uncontrollable with the current technology.

Then the only solution is to reduce the steam pressure and expand the cross-sectional area of ​​the pipeline, but this will easily cause insufficient power...

Anyway, generally speaking, the way of boiling water alone is already a headache, and these days, more than 80.00% of the explosions are caused by this water shock hedge, and the furnace material cannot hold it.

The sealing performance can effectively alleviate this phenomenon, but... the sealing cannot be solved. For now, we can only temporarily slow down the research and development process of the boiler, and make plans after the birth of sealing materials and new furnace materials.

As a result, Xiao Song couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, but he naturally understood that the steam engine...it is the jewel in the crown of human industry. It is an industrial product accumulated over the years of experience, mistakes, and life. Eagerness for quick success is fruitless. of.

"Let's set a small goal first." Song Beiyun pointed to the bulky boiler next to him: "It, let's find a way to make it able to lift a hundred catties!"

After finishing speaking, the master craftsmen said that they will definitely do their best, but only do their best, because... all theories and knowledge are new, and they need time to explore and explore slowly.
