My years in the Northern Song Dynasty Guozijian

"I voted," Ye An shouted, and then looked at the application form Su Song handed over.It is estimated that he himself knows that it is difficult to get money for his own things, so he only asked for [-] guan, and only planned to build five water transport observatories in Luoyang, Tokyo, and several major cities.

Ye An frowned slightly, how can this work, this is a major event to open up the wisdom of the people, and five is too little, so he said: "[-] guan, I can't approve it, I will give you [-] guan, and the water transport instrument will be added to Twenty. For the rest of the money, go to the Imperial Academy to print a book, write down the principle and function of this thing, and sell it all over the country." Regardless of whether it makes money or not, it is good to train more talents in astronomy and machinery.

The room suddenly fell into a weird silence, not only Su Song was stunned, but even other merchants looked at each other in blank dismay.I find it incredible, but Ye An's previous record is too glorious, and he can be revived by a dead end.So everyone began to wonder if there was any other way of getting rich.

In the end, Shen Shimeng gritted his teeth and said, "Since Mr. Ye Lang has a good mood, I will also vote [-] guan! Twenty is not enough, and build a little more!"

"Hehe, brother Shen, brother Shen, after so many years, you still can't get rid of your tendency to follow suit, I add a hundred thousand guan! For no other reason, I just want to make friends with brother Ye and Mr. Su! In the future, the matter of Yixiangtai You are fully in charge, and I will never interfere!" Master Li followed suit, not forgetting to taunt Shen Shimeng by the way.

"I also cast [-] puns!"

"And I!"

The scene was extremely hot, and for a group of wealthy people like them, this amount of money was actually nothing. If they really made it, it would be a piece of cake from the sky, so they all had the mentality of gambling.

"..." Ye An looked at the crowd in a daze, what was he doing?I just want to do something good to promote the development of mathematics, physics and chemistry in the Northern Song Dynasty, so why did you start to compete with him?

Su Song on the stage was about to burst into tears with excitement. For so many years, his hobbies have never been understood and appreciated, but he did not expect to receive such support today.Of course, he also understands that success depends on the young boy in the first row.

In the end, the meeting ended amidst a lot of excitement, and everyone who participated in the Consummation Foundation gained more or less something.Even if there is no favorite project, but also to expand the network, it can be said that the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.By the way, Ye An elevated the meeting to a higher level, saying that their foundation this time is for the sake of making Song Dynasty more prosperous and powerful, and for the purpose of being loyal to the officials. Strictly speaking, everyone present can be called an imperial businessman!

The merchants were moved with tears in their eyes, and vowed to invest more and pay taxes for the country!Ye An breathed a sigh of relief, after this incident, he should not be so conspicuous.

When it was time to separate, Master Li took Ye An's hand affectionately and solemnly: "I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen a business genius like you. Not only that, I heard that you are still studying in the Imperial College, it is indeed true." Heroes come out of teenagers. Actually, there is one more thing I'm curious about."

"Just say it," Ye An was a little embarrassed by the compliment, and stood up straight to signal that he would listen carefully.

"Have you ever been married? To be honest, I have a granddaughter in my family who is in her twenties and eight years. She is in the boudoir and she is pretty. If you don't mind, I will betroth her to you!"

- old shameless!Everyone complained wildly in their hearts.Shen Shimeng couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said mockingly: "Master Li, you used to call out one brother at a time, isn't it like a poor generation now?"

"Hey, it's just a name. What's the matter? It's a big deal and I won't call it anymore." Master Li is worthy of being an old fritters.

Ye An smiled awkwardly, saying that since he was still young and his elders were not around, we should discuss it later, and left quickly after speaking.

After going out, I went smoothly, but I didn't expect to meet a matchmaker here. It's really hard to guard against.Just before he raised his leg, he suddenly heard someone calling him. When he looked up, he found Su Song standing in the distance with a grateful expression on his face.

Seeing him, Ye An suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile, "Master Song, do you know any other colleagues who are interested in astrology?"

"Naturally." Su Song nodded. There were quite a few men of science and engineering in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Ye An pondered for a moment, and then said: "It would be too wasteful to just print some astrology knowledge. Ye is not talented, and he has some opinions on arithmetic. Why don't we just publish a ten-day magazine or something, so that people who have researched on it can discuss it together?" .”

There were newspapers in this era, but most of them published official documents, officialdom dynamics and court news, and there were few pure knowledge newspapers like this.

Su Song thinks this idea is very good, but still has doubts: "Nowadays private reporting is prohibited among the people, where is the court..."

Ye An waved his hand, and vowed: "You don't have to worry about this, I will solve it naturally. In the near future, I will trouble Mr. Su and inform people who are interested in this matter and have certain opinions."

Su Song agreed, and the two parted.

……

Back home, Ye An kept thinking about what he said before. In fact, he also knew very well that the newspaper might not be read by anyone, but the seed still had to be sowed.

It is too risky to run a public newspaper or something. I heard that the Liao Kingdom used the public newspaper to know our marching route, and thus won a big victory.But academic journals are different. There are submissions, reviews, and the support of many scholar-bureaucrats. He went to talk to Renzong, and it might not be difficult to get approval.

Speaking of which, it seems that there are still some things that need to be revised in the "Analysis" co-edited by him and his teacher, and I haven't seen the teacher for a long time...

Thinking of this, he hesitated for a while, and asked Jin Fu to pack up the outer robe that Pan Yuanqing had left before.After picking out a few gifts, he knocked on the door next door.

The teacher lived in a much smaller place, and probably did not want to be disturbed, with only three or four servants in the whole house.Ye An walked into the hall led by an old man, and Pan Yuanqing was already waiting inside.

Seeing the real person, Ye An felt a little uneasy, and it took him a long time to talk about his intention to start a publication.

Pan Yuanqing still had that indifferent look, and discussed some problems in arithmetic with him.It can be seen that he really loves mathematics, and there seems to be new research in just a few months.

Gradually, Ye An calmed down and devoted himself to academics.After the two of them discussed it, the willow branches were already on the moon.

Noticing that the other party's lips were dry and white, Pan Yuanqing ordered his servants to serve some more tea.

At this time, Ye An realized that it was already so late, and consciously disturbing others' rest, he felt awkward again, and quickly said: "No need..."

Pan Yuanqing glanced at him, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Could it be that you still want to drink?"

Ye An: "..." Damn it!What a shame!

But he continued on with the words: "Before, the student was drunk and became incapacitated. This time, he came to apologize to the teacher."

Pan Yuanqing looked at the furry little head hanging down, and a smile flashed unconsciously in his eyes, but his voice remained unchanged: "The fragrance on my body is due to the special internal force that I practice in the Western Regions."

"Huh?" Ye An tilted his head in confusion.

"It's nothing, but you kept asking me for spices when you were drunk, so I specially let you know."

Ye An laughed dryly, vowed in his heart that he would definitely drink less alcohol in the future, and then changed the subject unnaturally: "That, that... Teacher, your clothes were left at my house before, and I brought them here for you this time. There is the jujube tree in my yard, which bears a lot of fruit, because the maids took good care of it, the taste is very good, the students bring it here to honor you..."

As he spoke, he opened the box he carried with him, looked through it carefully, and his body froze.

"What's wrong?" Pan Yuanqing asked.

Ye An wanted to cry without tears: "I... I took it out and forgot it before I left." He was absent-minded before coming to the teacher's place, but the servants prepared it, and he even packed a bunch of books in it.

"You wait, I'll go back and bring it here."

Ye An pulled up his legs and was about to leave, but was grabbed by his sleeves. Pan Yuanqing looked helpless, "Let you go first, it's time for dinner, stay and finish eating before going back."

At this time, Ye An's stomach growled in response to the situation, and finally he could only nod obediently.

The cook of Pan's family is naturally incomparable to his own, and the teacher's taste is bland, but perhaps because he is hungry, Ye An still eats very sweet.

After dinner, Pan Yuanqing asked his servants to prepare lanterns and planned to send them back by himself.

Ye An quickly shied away, and then sighed unconsciously: "Teacher, you said, our two families are separated by a wall, and even my yard is in the same location as your main house, and it turns out that we have to go around so far. In my opinion, it's better to dig a moon gate , it will be convenient for me to come to you in the future."

Pan Yuanqing was slightly stunned, and remained silent for a while, his eyes dimmed.

Ye An thought he had said something wrong, so he quickly reorganized his words: "I just mentioned it casually, and it feels quite troublesome..."

Before the voice fell, he heard the person on the opposite side speak.

"……it is good."
