The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 177 That Bag
Liang Xin's chess skills are comparable to those of Zhao Ji, that is, an amateur is better than a professional, not even a little bit worse.

But Liang Xin has a trick.

Liang Xin knows ten words. In this era, Go still teaches pieces and chess skills.

Liang Xin didn't talk about these, but only ten words: When the anger is long, murder is short, and when the anger is the same, draw the sword first!

Liang Xin basically doesn't know how to do any major defensive moves.

Just these ten simple words, Liang Xin didn't care about the layout, just stared and killed, took out a 40-meter-long sword, and faced Zhao Ji's chess, slashing suddenly.

Very angry.

Zhao Ji was stunned. He had never seen such a way to play Go.

Zhao Ji quickly reacted and made a 40-meter-long sword with four breaths.

As for Liang Xin, it looked like it was a bit dangerous, so he had to draw his sword first. He took a breath of Zhao Ji's breath, and Zhao Ji quickly made up for it. Liang Xin took one blow, and Zhao Ji took another blow. By the time Zhao Ji came to his senses, he had already been raped.

The professional stunned the amateur with random punches.

Zhao Ji will definitely not be reconciled.

Down, and down.

And Liang Xin can't let go. If he doesn't win back today, Zhao Ji won't even go to Taoyuan Pavilion. He must win.

In a trance.

Liang Xin seemed to see it, and there seemed to be a chance, a chance, for the rolling dragon that he had seen occasionally.

At this time, I saw Liang Xin holding the chess piece. By accident, the chess pieces fell on the chessboard, seemingly in the wrong position. Zhao Ji just laughed at Liang Xin's mistake and quickly went to make up the corner that Liang Xin would eat. son.

Little did he know that Liang Xin's step was to give up the few words on the corner and bite a large piece of Zhao Ji's side.

If you are not good at chess, you just rely on violent killing.

Until the second watch.

A professional is a professional after all. If Liang Xin uses these methods too often, Zhao Ji will naturally learn them. Coupled with his superb chess skills, no matter what method Liang Xin uses, except for stealing pieces, it is completely impossible to defeat Zhao Ji. .

In fact, Liang Xin only knew a few formulas that were half-understood.

It can only be used when there is no seat.

Zhao Ji has also introduced a complete version, which is specially used for starting strangulation.

Zhao Ji was also tired and stretched: "I really don't want to go to court tomorrow."

Liang Xin wanted to say something: If you don’t go to court, you won’t go to court.

But at the moment, the time is not ripe, so Liang Xin still advised: "Shengjun, of course you have to go to court. Find a way to make the court meeting shorter tomorrow, and then come back and take a nap, and have a football match in the afternoon."

"That's it." Zhao Ji yawned and walked out. He was tired and wanted to go back to the palace to rest.

Liang Xin is also tired.

He rubbed his swollen head with one hand and walked slowly home.

At home, Liang Shicheng was sitting in Liang Xin's study, still wearing clothes from the road.

This journey home from the northwest was full of carriages, horses and boats. After Liang Shicheng came back, he had no time to change clothes. He copied the imperial edict all afternoon and did not wash up. After everyone else left, Liang Shicheng originally wanted to see Su Shi, but he still Don't worry, come to Liang Xin's study and wait.Liang Xin entered the study room, where Liang Shicheng was sleeping soundly while leaning on the chair.

Liang Xin had no plan. She just went to check a fire in the next room, then came back, covered Liang Shicheng with a blanket, and sat at the desk, where there were all the drafts of memorials and instructions.

Something to look at.

No matter how tired she is, Liang Xin will read all this. Even if she doesn't participate in the opinions, Liang Xin still needs to know how to deal with many things.

When Liang Xin saw the part about the plague, she was nervous at first.

But soon, Liang Xin became relaxed.

There were still capable officials in the Song Dynasty. As long as local officials were willing, they would handle things very well. They also had a very scientific process. After all, many natural disasters caused big troubles, and even more were man-made disasters.

Just when Liang Xin was reading the draft of memorials and instructions, Jiangnan, a town 23 miles outside Wuzhou.

Zongze moved here when he was a child.

Before Cao Yang went to sea, after receiving a lot of information from Budai City in Dayi Prefecture, he came here specifically to visit Zongze.

There weren't many gifts. Liang Xin had told Cao Yang before he came that Zongze was a very frugal person, so the gift was more about the thought, not the price.

Most of them are specialties that Cao Yang brought along the way from Bianjing.

What Zongze cares more about is the information Cao Yang brought about Budai City.

Therefore, after Cao Yang arrived, Zongze had already sat at home and read the dossier for an entire afternoon. It contained the most comprehensive information about Butai City, from the sea to the beach, to the plains, to the foot of the mountain, covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles. various explorations.

The thousands of soldiers transferred by the Dianqian Division also recruited a large number of professional talents such as salt farmers and mountain farmers.

Finally, Zongze put down the file in his hand: "There are fewer manpower for coordination."

Cao Yang: "Together with salt households, Korean slave laborers trafficked by Jurchens, and veterans of the Forbidden Army, there are already ten thousand people."

Zongze shook his head: "Look here, according to the celestial phenomena given by the locals, from the beginning of next spring to the beginning of summer, it will be dry and rainless, and the temperature will be extremely high. Just the sea water washing on the rocks in the shoal will leave traces on the rocks." Put a lot of salt. Look here again, according to a report from a Yuhou, when he first arrived, the salt on the stones alone was enough for them to eat."

"Yes, yes, and the salt is excellent, fine and white."

Zongze added: "I just talked about the celestial phenomena, and let's talk about the terrain. The terrain here is gentle, slowly descending from east to west, all the way to the seaside, and there are few rivers, which means there are no rivers to wash away, and there is enough salt."

"Finally, let's talk about people. Why did I say there are fewer people? Based on the terrain, not only did you choose this place, there should be several times this place that can be used as salt fields. The name of Brother Xin here is wrong. According to the records in our book , should be called Liuqiu, a place where a large number of Han people immigrated in the late Tang Dynasty is also recorded as Penghu.”

Cao Yang listened carefully. He came here to ask for advice.

Zongze picked up a piece of paper and wrote his own suggestion: "It was difficult to establish a state capital in the past, but now it is very easy. Although the Forbidden Army claims to have hundreds of thousands of people, you also know how many can actually be used. . If you set a standard and rent land to the people, there will be more and more people here. I am talking about such a small number of people."

Cao Yang understood: "Zong Chengzhi, you mean to attract people to move to Budai City."

"Yes." Zongze nodded: "This matter is not urgent, but we should start planning. Let's do the math. Although it is winter, the salt fields can still produce salt because there is no rain in the area, although it is unpredictable. The output after tomorrow’s spring will be quite impressive.”

"Yes, yes." Cao Yang immediately answered: "I have seen boiling salt in Shu. It is very laborious. You need to bring the brine up from the ground a hundred feet deep and then cook it with fire. And Butai City is constantly going Water, if you store water, the salt will be deposited at the bottom of the pond. The more it accumulates, the more it will accumulate. You just need to dig it out at the right time."

Cao Yang was also a descendant of the Xungui family and had many experiences.

Zongze encouraged Cao Yang to speak more and think more.
