The year is pretty good this year. Although there is a little more rain, it is not a storm, so the overall growth of the crops is still very good. Song Beiyun was very pleased to see that his small farm is full of lush and green, and he felt a little bit accomplished.

The same is true for the children. They regard everything they grow as treasures. If the wind is stronger, they will pull Song Beiyun to take care of the fragile seedlings overnight.

Gradually, they began to get used to this kind of pastoral life and even the rules of distribution according to work. Even the most unpretentious third brother began to get better.

The research and development and production of machine guns are included in the highest level of confidentiality. No one knows this secret except for a few core figures. Its birth also triggers a series of weapons design processes. Idle people in the Academy of Sciences will not miss any opportunity to think about it. Their current theory believes that since guns can be designed in this way, isn't guns okay?

Song Beiyun did not interfere with their ideas because he really didn't understand this. Apart from the contents of chemistry and medicine, his technical level was only based on the middle and lower-level theories. Many of them were even part of the knowledge in high school. Further things need to be considered by these people.

The overall industrial R&D progress is now within the plan, with no shocking points or particularly obvious thresholds and bottlenecks. They are all consolidated and strengthened on the basis of the previous ones.

But even so, Song Beiyun was already very satisfied, because industry is a process of slow accumulation. When it accumulates to a certain extent, it will cause qualitative change from quantitative change, so he is not in a hurry at all.

Last year's Song Beiyun Science Award fell on the monk's head. The award of 100,000 yuan and the large reports in the newspaper made many people envious. But who did not know who the Science Award this year was, but many people were already competing in secret.

"Don't mention the national justice and the realization of value, it means increasing the rewards. It not only requires the rewards of money but also significantly improves social status. Such people should gain both fame and fortune." Song Beiyun said in a conversation with the governor of Yongzhou: "As long as they can take out things, beauties, gold, silver, treasures, fame and status, and give them whatever they want. And you can get a few more awards so that those who are worth it will compete for it."

As for people, what is the purpose of becoming an official? In the end, it’s just for this little thing, but being an official has risks, especially in the current environment, the risk of becoming an official is too great, but it’s different to use technology. In such an era where everything is waiting for breakthroughs, perhaps a wonderful idea can realize the value of life that originally took more than ten years to realize.

Everyone understands this principle, so the current encouragement policies have a great impact on a round of technological boom.

Someone improves the loom and rewards 2,000 sprigs. Then the next step will be someone to improve the rake, improve the millstone, and improve the waterwheel. This is accumulation. When everything is accumulated and mature, the new skill tree will naturally come naturally.

Technology, to put it bluntly, it is just a little bit of money, time and labor, and it is impossible to be impatient.

But Song Beiyun also set a rule that can give money and time, but when it comes to the agreement, you must hand over the things. If you can't deliver a relatively satisfactory content, then what awaits them may not be cutting funds.

"It's OK to brag, but the rules are that the brags are brags and they have to be realized when they reach the point." Song Beiyun delivered a speech at the second Yongzhou All Leadership Team Meeting: "If you can't realize them, you must either not speak at the beginning or take responsibility yourself."

Although Song Beiyun has no real position now, the Northwest King is the Northwest King. His words are not much different from the imperial edict in the Northwest. Although he was puzzled by this, the fact is that it is. Moreover, Zhao Xing also specially put in a secret system and said that the entire Northwest military and political affairs would be subject to Song Beiyun's control.

In other words, from Chang'an to Yumen Pass, they have now become the sphere of influence of Song Beiyun, even including Xixia, who has accepted the land and returned to Song.

This area has exceeded the current land area of ​​the Song Dynasty. Song Beiyun protested three times, but none of them were useful. In his reply, Zhao Xing said that no one was willing to come to the northwest to serve as a chief official, and the northwest was far from Nanjing. Zhao Xing's hands were not that long for the time being, so he was not as good as a country and two kings, and each led one side.

This incident made Song Beiyun so angry that he cursed him. He wrote a long letter of more than 50,000 words to scold Zhao Xing, but Zhao Xing was unmoved at all and threw the stall out.

However, from the overall perspective, Zhao Xing's strategy is actually not wrong, because the northwest is now hanging out, connecting to the Western Regions, grasslands, Tubo and Uighurs, on the left is the Wanren Plateau, and on the right are the heroes competing for the deer.

It’s okay for Song Beiyun to come here. If someone with insufficient ability comes here, God knows what will happen. In Zhao Xing’s words, if the backbone of the Song Dynasty is bent, all the efforts of the years will be in vain.

And even if he didn't intend to stop him, no one was willing to come here to serve as the supreme commander.

As for why everyone knows it, this ghost place is Song Beiyun's old nest. It's almost enough to come here to plaster and get promoted. But if you come here to be the chief, should you listen to the chief or Song Beiyun? The chief? The chief doesn't know, and you will be beheaded if you make a mess. Listen to Song Beiyun? It's the first time you've been a human being, why should you suffer this grievance?

It is the best like Xia Shu. After working for two years, he went back to Beijing and went directly to the center. It was comfortable and stable. He did not bother him, the King of Northwest and did not delay his bright future.

So this barren land in the northwest was left for Song Beiyun to play with himself. There was not enough view of the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan, so who would like to go to that ghost place?

However, Song Beiyun's reply letter with 50,000 words was to inform him that the capital would hold a super-large beauty pageant, hoping that Chang'an could respond. After all, Chang'an is called the capital of all countries, and it was selected to send it to the capital to lively and lively.

Zhao was ridiculous, so Song Beiyun simply tore the broken letter to pieces, and he continued to run between the fields and the Chang'an Workshop, without taking it seriously.

But who would have thought that just before the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Xing's special envoy arrived. The special envoy almost cried after seeing Song Beiyun. After learning about the purpose of the special envoy, Song Beiyun almost cried.

Zhao Xing is really obsessed with beauty pageant. Seeing that Song Beiyun had not replied for a long time, he knew in his heart that Song Beiyun was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he specially sent a special envoy to come here to send an order to Song Beiyun, saying, "I am holding a sports meeting in Beijing, and the beauty pageant is handed over to you."

When encountering such an emperor, Song Beiyun sometimes has no special way to do it. After thinking about it... Since Zhao Xing is so obsessed with it, just do one. Anyway, I am idle all this time, so it is good to have fun and liven up the atmosphere in the city.

So Song Beiyun convened the officials in charge of this kind of memorial service in Chang'an to hold a meeting.

The content of the meeting is actually simple. The core is beauty pageant, but no one will come if the beauty pageant is directly used, because girls are somewhat reserved. If they are so anxious, they will not be much different from being in a brothel.

The key is that Zhao Xing wants beauty pageant in all countries. Not all nations are bold and cheerful, and there are many shy people.

Even before the baptism of a generation of Confucianism, many ethnic groups are not as enthusiastic and cheerful as the Han girls.

And we must take into account the customs and habits of each nation. This is really not so easy to operate.

But since Zhao Xing wants it, he wants it. Anyway, he doesn't choose a concubine, just want to see a beautiful girl, so come on.

On the third day before the Dragon Boat Festival, a banner was hung on the most eye-catching Zhuque Street in Chang'an City, with a few big words written on it, "Welcome to sign up for the image messenger of Chang'an".

The registration for this Chang'an image messenger is not limited to men and women, nationality, and background. You can register as long as you meet the age of 14 to 24. After being selected by Chang'an, you will be lucky enough to go to Nanjing to participate in the finals. The winner of the final will receive three major rewards.

1: You can have dinner with Emperor Zhao Xing of the Song Dynasty.

2: Winning bonus of 10,000 yuan.

3: In the next three years, we will represent the image of Chang'an to participate in various activities.

As far as Song Beiyun knows, celebrity endorsements have even appeared in the Tang Dynasty. By the Song Dynasty, celebrity endorsements have become a trend, which means that the star dream has been passed down for more than a thousand years.

Representing the image of Chang'an is even more amazing than a celebrity. Even if it is no longer like this in three years, with its previous reputation, it will be fine for more than ten years without any worries about food and clothing, and can even become a famous scholar, worry-free for a lifetime, and benevolent for future generations.

At the beginning of this event, many people were hesitant, afraid it would be a scam, but when they found out that this thing was really officially held, the number of people who signed up suddenly increased.

When I heard that foreigners could also register, the whole of Chang'an was in full bloom. Young men and women suddenly rushed to the registration points everywhere, and received nearly 3,000 registration forms in just one day.

Some little girls are really crazy. They are fourteen or five years old and can’t even recognize a few words, but after signing up, they start thinking about what clothes they have to wear when having dinner with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Some people do not have a suitable understanding of their appearance. Although they should not judge people by their appearance, they represent the appearance of a city after all. Those who have crooked mouths and slanted eyes and are not good-looking should not sign up.

But they didn't... These people made Song Beiyun return to the future world in a daze. These weirdos in the talent show seemed to share an interesting soul.

Are there any good-looking ones? Actually, there are also some. Song Beiyun turned a few points and found that there are really good-looking boys and girls, but how to say it... Although it is hard to say, it is rare, but there are definitely not many. Among the 3,000 people on the first day, 80% were crooked and 20% were considered to be a good-looking person.

Among these 20% of the people who are upright, 80% of them are just stopping at the right time, and only 20% of the people who are in line with Song Beiyun's concept of handsome men and beautiful women.

Twenty percent of the 20%, which means that only four out of a hundred people can count handsome men and beautiful women.

However, after registering this day, Song Beiyun discovered an interesting thing, that is, most girls went to have dinner with Zhao Xing, especially some women from wealthy families, who basically focused on the dinner with Zhao Xing.

Most of the boys were staring at the bounty of ten thousand yuan, and the remaining scattered literary and artistic youths were attracted by the endorsement of Chang'an.

"Mr. Song."

Not long after Song Beiyun returned to the small farm, just when he was about to have a meal, an official in charge of the draft hurriedly found him.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Song Beiyun pinched a bun, and half a bowl of pickles were placed in the bowl beside his feet: "It's so hurry."

"Mr. Song...how do you eat this?"

"There's no way." Song Beiyun shook his head and said, "Today I don't have any work, I'm only worthy of eating this one. Don't worry about me, talk about your business."

The official bent his waist and whispered: "Xixia...the little princess of the Li family of the King of Xixia has also signed up. This is a bit troublesome. Do you want to know the King of Xixia?"

"Hey, just pretend you don't know." Song Beiyun waved his hand: "We are not a brothel. We can choose a spokesperson properly and become the image of Chang'an. That's the matter of glorifying the ancestors. So what about the princess of the Li family?"

"Xiaguan knows." The official nodded and then looked at the pickles in Song Beiyun's bowl: "Mr. Song...why would you go to Xiaguan's humble house for a meal?"

"That won't happen." Song Beiyun pointed to the prince who was squatting not far away to protect his watermelon vine: "I set the rules, I can't break the rules."

The official looked over and suddenly found that the prince of the dynasty was squatting there, covered in white-haired sweat. Only then did he realize that the Prince Song in front of him was the young prince whom he appointed, but there was no prince's grand guarantee yet. It is estimated that he would be the prince's grand guarantee in two years.

"Since that's the case, the lower official will know. Lord Song, the lower official will retire."

"Be careful on the road." Song Beiyun waved his hand: "I may have to go there tomorrow, so I will try to get this done soon. Our Emperor of Song is an anxious person."

To be honest, Song Beiyun doesn’t have much feelings about this beauty pageant. It’s really Zhao Xing who remembers that he has to mess with this matter, otherwise he wouldn’t do such boring things.

So this matter was a job to deal with for Song Beiyun, and he was not too concerned.

However, many people regard this matter as a top priority in their lives, such as Zi Shibu.

After she learned the news, she suddenly felt like she was burning, and her mind was full of being the image spokesperson for Chang'an.

This is a city she loves very much. It can be said to be her place of faith. It can become the spokesperson of the place of faith. This is simply a monument on her journey in life.

So she went directly to the princess's mansion, but when she learned that Song Beiyun was in the farm of the Beihaijun, she came over without saying a word.

"Master, there is a woman looking for you outside."

"woman?"
