Su You was a little speechless. The top students of the Qian family should not be underestimated. The four-corner number is easy to say, but it is difficult to choose the words and compile the rules. I have a "Hu Chen Lu" written down one by one. It is easy for others.

It was sorted out.

Patting the thick dictionary: "Is the Qian family so happy?"

Zhang San said with a smile: "We have to take a shortcut behind our four-way ship. Communication between ships is dispensable for us, but it is a top priority for them."

Su You thought about it and it really made sense: "Don't they have Simon?"

Zhang San explained: "Sinan is used for running close to the sea. It is said to be the home of the dragon and the mirage. When it is windy, rainy, and dark, you can only walk by the needle. It is a fire-length palm. There is no chance of making a mistake, and a boat of people's lives can be lost."

Department.'"

"It is also said that 'Beyond the South China Sea, there is no limit, the sky and the water are the same color. Boats and ships only use the compass as a guide. They watch day and night carefully. The slightest difference is life or death.'"

"The route record matching Sinan is called the "Compass Needle Book". Taking the route from Wenzhou to Zhenla as an example, it goes overseas from Wenzhou, using Dingwei needle as a guide, passing through the ports of Fujian and Guangzhou overseas states, crossing the Qizhou Ocean, and passing through the Qizhou Ocean.

From Jiaozhiyang, we can reach Champa. With a favorable wind from Champa, we can reach Zhenpu in half a month."

"After arriving at Zhenpu, we diverted to Kunshen Needle and crossed the Kunlun Ocean to enter the harbor. There are dozens of harbors, but only the fourth harbor can be entered. The rest are all shallow with sand, so they are not accessible to giant ships."

"Now that we have the longitude and latitude star-finding technique, there is no need to be so troublesome. Moreover, the compass has a huge disadvantage, that is, the ship using the compass must be an all-wood structure and cannot contain gold or copper, otherwise the compass instructions will be disordered."

"So if you want to use a big ship with iron bones and nails, you have to follow us. That's why people are so concerned about communications. To put it bluntly, it's all about money."

Su You was also happy: "It's been ten years. It's time for the first batch of new sailors from the Qian family to come out, right?"

Zhang San said: "People don't care about that now. A marine insurance agent is enough to make them fat."

Maritime insurance was still a risk mitigation measure implemented by Suzhou Petroleum Corporation in response to ships leaving the Three Gorges in Sichuan Province. The Qian family had a strong financial foundation and cooperated with the Shipping Department of Sitong Company to establish a maritime insurance department and used it to the maritime industry in a flawless manner.

Ships that have purchased insurance are eligible to travel with Sitong's seagoing ships. Not only do they take shortcuts, but they also have armed escorts. Nowadays, it has become a popular trend in the Southeast.

Su You chewed his teeth and said, "No wonder Lord Qian and the others can help me pull rice from Champa with just a word of mouth. It turns out that they are involved in finance. They are really rich!"

Zhang San smiled and said: "That's right, no one is stupid!"

While the two were talking, the sailors had already opened the deck, used the wooden gantry and pulleys, and lifted out the copper ingots from the bottom cabin one by one.

The quality of Japanese copper ingots is quite high because it contains a lot of impurities.

That's right, these impurities greatly increase the value of copper materials - because they are silver and gold.

Su You had no intention of teaching the Japanese to behave like this, so he just took them in as copper anyway.

This copper is the best material for making copperware. The reason why the Xuande furnace was so famous in later generations is because the copper materials used in the Xuande furnace were added with precious materials such as gold and silver.

Compared with the slippery Dali cupronickel and brass, the quality of this copper material is superior. Today's density meters can easily determine whether it is genuine or not, and it is highly sought after in the market.

Sitong Trading Company made a lot of money just by playing with the price difference between Japanese copper and yellow-white copperware or copper coins.

After staying at the dock for a day, Su You returned to the Yamen with Zhang San and Ping Zhencao.

Zhang Qi and Lu Ruo had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. The two brothers were extremely affectionate when they met and gave them a bear hug first.

Zhang Qi was overjoyed: "Third brother has changed into a layman, but it's a pity that Li Gonglin painted you as a nouveau riche!"

Zhang San was angry: "How much does it cost? Let him paint a new one!"

Su You rolled his eyes: "You said you are not a nouveau riche, so I didn't paint you wrong."

"Li Boshi, Wang Xianggong, Da Su, and Wang's consort are all good friends of their generation and are today's artistic leaders. He has lived in the capital for five years and does not visit the rich and powerful. He enjoys visiting famous gardens and groves."

"That painting "Six Horses" took a long time to get people to write it. With your attitude, it's hard for people to even take a look at it."

Zhang San laughed: "Then let Zhencao become his teacher. My Zhencao's painting skills are also outstanding."

At this time, two horses rode up to the door, but they were Shao Bowen and Ping Zhengsheng.

Ping Zhengsheng jumped off the horse and said: "Shaobao, have a safe journey. I came here to pay the order. Sister, brother-in-law, you are also here."

Shao Bowen also dismounted: "Teacher, you must be sure to catch it immediately. The degree of corruption in the salt administration is shocking."

Su You said: "It's still due to his bad temper and lack of supervision. Qin Guan's romantic temperament can only serve as the editor-in-chief of Chao Bao, not the chief editor."

"The candidate for editor-in-chief must speak out with the people and dare to supervise the illegal actions of the powerful officials!"

Shao Bowen cupped his hands and said, "Does the teacher already have a candidate in mind?"

Su You nodded: "Yes, I just don't know if they are willing to give in."

…

In June, Mu Zheng went to Que. Zhao Xu appointed Mu Zheng as the training envoy of the Rongzhou regiment and named him Zhao Sizhong.

In a completely different fate, Su You and Wang Anshi wrote a letter to Zhao Changping, the leader of the tribe under Mu Zheng, who rebelled against the Song Dynasty after receiving the surname and killed seven Song envoys including Wensi's deputy envoy Zhang Jin. He should be accused of treason in the army and massacred.

The crimes of his colleagues were punished, and the entire tribe was exterminated.

Zhao Xu still played the fool, saying that Zhao Chang Piao's subordinates were also deceived by the chief, but he still pardoned them, only focusing on Zhao Chang Piao's crime, and agreed to abandon the market.

Wang Shao was ordered to collect the Xihe battle bones and sacrifice them in the Martyrs' Shrine, where the families of the martyrs would live their lives.

In Xin Mao, Prince Zhong allowed Shen Kuo to promote the Heavenly Supervisor, play the role of the Armillary Object, and called for the construction of an observatory in the north of the city, which was named "Tianyun Huxiang Observatory".

In Yihai, the imperial edict came to Zheng Xia to stop him and put him in charge of Tingzhou.

Tingzhou is located in the westernmost section of Fujian, which was later known as Longyan. It is still an extremely wild place.

Su You wrote that the imperial court would not offend scholar-bureaucrats with writing, and the editor-in-chief of Tingzhou was too harsh, so it would be better to hand him over to the ministers.

There are many places to work in Zhejiang, so let me teach you how to be a good person. Anyway, my place is now a hodgepodge, with one person too many and one person too little.

Zhao Xu thought that Su You must have wanted to put on Zheng Xia's shoes himself, and said to Han Jiang: "Zheng Xia is ignorant of the general situation, so he should be punished and make his face bright and comfortable for a while."

…

At the top of Bianjing City, Zheng Xia, dressed in Geyi, saw off the scholars who came.

There are several attitudes towards Zheng Xia in Bianjing City.

Not counting scholars, the common people in Kaifeng Prefecture, farmers, vendors, and government officials hated Zheng Xia so much that the boy suffered a lot in prison.

As for scholars, they are divided into several groups.

Su Shaobao's Kezheng Hall was opened to the public, and Xu Shizi copied and engraved it. For this reason alone, the young scholars stood firmly on Su You's side.

The scholar-bureaucrats, while respecting Zheng Xia's character, complained about his abrupt behavior - you were right to defeat Wang Anshi, but this time you really hurt Su Mingrun.

The new party was gnashing their teeth and gloating about the misfortune. Fortunately, this time, it was left to Su You to take care of it. This was Wei Wu's plan to kill Miheng without getting his own hands dirty.

However, even a wicked person still has relatives and friends, and Zheng Xia is really not a bad person. Therefore, even under the current trend of the court, many people still came to see Zheng Xia off.

Among the people who came to see him off, there was an elegant man in his thirties. Zheng Xia shook his head and smiled bitterly at him: "Shu Yuan, I feel sorry for my old friend this time, and I have brought trouble to you."

The elegant man's name was Yan Jidao, and he was the son of Prime Minister Yan Shu.

However, he is considered the youngest in the family, ranking seventh, and Lao Yan passed away a little early for him. He was raised by his second brother.

The prime minister came from a family with outstanding literary talents since childhood. The family regarded him as a treasure. Like Jia Baoyu, he developed the bad qualities of a romantic and talented man.

Like Su You, this boy was awarded Jinshi at the age of fourteen, but he didn't bother to be an official and wander around the capital. The second sister-in-law thought that he was really not decent, so she wanted to marry him, and through the way of grace, she found a wife.

I was sent by Taichang Temple Taizhu.

As a good friend of Zheng Xia, a picture of an upper class man was found, and a song "With Zheng Jiefu" was found: "The little white tree grows red and the branches are full, and it is alone outside the construction field. The spring breeze is a guest in the world, how long can it be prosperous?

"

The New Party uses this as a crime. The meaning is very clear. It is attacking the new law. The rabbit's tail cannot grow, so it should be arrested first and interrogated together.

After Zhao Xu found out, he ordered his people to be released. However, after this incident, the family's financial situation deteriorated from bad to worse.

Yan Jidao smiled and said, "This is my honor. Please don't think it's better for me to share your reputation with you."

Zheng Xia shook his head: "Now that I am in the capital, everyone is shouting and beating me. The New Party regards me as a formidable enemy, so I am happy with it. But the people of Kaifeng Prefecture also regard me as an enemy, which can be described as heart-breaking... Sigh...
