Chapter 161 Proposal (Part 2)

After a while, Han Qingxiong was beaten by the Pan brothers and found Song Jiu. He was not angry. He was asking for help. Anyway, like Song Jiu, he was inherited by his father and had a black skin and thick flesh. It doesn't matter if he beat him a few times. But he was curious and surrounded Song Jiu and said, "Jiulang, the big boy of the Pan family really sold you my little sister?"

Song Jiu had no choice but to deal with this guy. Most of these yamen are descendants of military generals, and they are very energetic. Staying in the capital is extremely boring. If there is a little fun, they will arouse their curiosity. He said, "Han Erlang, I have invited two matchmakers and are preparing to choose a zodiac auspicious day to propose marriage to the Pan family. If Mrs. Tian agrees, I will be willing to borrow thousands of dollars and hundreds of thousands of dollars."

"How many hundred thousand yuan did you come?"

"Not now, no in the future?"

Han Qingxiong was speechless. Song Jiu promised more than five million yuan in money, plus the commercial tax and city tax. It was unimaginable. In fact, Wang Quanbin made a lot of money in Bashu this time, and it was far more than one hundred thousand yuan in money. Song Jiu didn't know how much. Thinking of Bashu, he asked again: "Han Erlang, what about Bashu?"

"After the imperial army broke through Jintang County of Guankouzhai, Wang Keliao joined forces with several states to attack Puzhou and was defeated by General Kang Yanze. Therefore, all the subordinates of Shixiong got a chance to breathe. General Luo Qijun and Tang Taoyan occupied the danger of Tongshan, gathering the remaining troops to continue to plot chaos. Now General Wang's troops are divided into two groups, and one side is General Ding Deyu and General Xichuan Mabing Supervisor Zhang Yantong and General Kang dealing with Tongshan Rebellion and Wang Keliao's reign. He and General Cao and General Liu led the main army to march into Yazhou. I don't know much about the specifics, but I still listen to the two brothers Wang Dalang."

Song Jiu understood, but was actually still competing for credit.

Ding Deyu and Pan Mei have made military achievements in Hunan, and their policies have somewhat differentiated the rebels' hearts. Even if someone continues to resist, there will not be too many. Pingluo Qijun and Wang Keliao have made little contributions. However, although they are few and weak, they are fighting in the mountains, so it is still very difficult to completely eliminate them. So Wang Quanbin handed them over to Ding Deyu and Kang Yanze, one who did not want him to achieve great achievements, and the other whom he hated.

Then, after pacifying Lu Han, there were Qiang people and foreign people supporting him, so he had to bring Cao Bin and Liu Guangyi's troops, otherwise his troops might be insufficient.

Song Jiu didn't think about whether to compete for merit or not, but thought of something. It seemed that the rebellion would be suppressed quickly. Only by not fighting can the people of Bashu be a little more at ease.

Song Jiu said: "Han Erlang, don't underestimate the pacification of Bashu. The ancient country of Tianfu came from Bashu. Once pacified, a large amount of taxes will be provided to the court. These taxes only have a small amount of valuable goods transported from the plank road to the capital on land, most of which will go down the river from the Three Gorges and then from the Bian River to the capital. This is also good for us."

Han Qingxiong disagreed. With the dividends from Hezhou, Wang Family Erlang and the others could not share the money their father got in Bashu for a thousand years. It was because they dared to make money. Han Qingxiong was jealous and helpless, and said, "I saw the cold melon you mentioned outside the city that day."

"Oh. Let's go and have a look." Song Jiu was very happy.

He knew that the imperial court introduced Chameng rice and watermelon, so he didn't know where to plant it, and it was also beneficial to the north.

The north is not as good as the south. Later, the Song Dynasty pier was said to have a yield of five or six stones per mu. Is it possible to do it in the north? In two seasons, the effort to feed milk will not exceed three stones per mu. But watermelons are different, especially the saline-alkali land near the capital, so growing grain is unrealistic, but watermelons are the best soil.

The two rode their horses all the way to the south of the city. After riding for more than twenty miles, they saw a piece of sand field with many watermelons planted on it. They had not been cultivated for a long time, but only seedlings were planted.

After seeing this, Song Jiu frowned and rushed to a commoner in the field not far away and shouted: "Who planted the melon?"

"From the Guo Si family."

"Please, can you take me to find him?"

The farmer glanced at the two of them. Although Han Qingxiong's face was still a little bruised and swollen, he was dressed very well and did not dare to offend him. He took the two to find Guo Si in a mulberry forest. Song Jiu said, "I am the founding king Song Jiu."

"See the Earl."

"No need to be polite, have you heard of off-season vegetables outside the east water gate of the capital."

"I heard about it."

"That's what I planted, I'll teach you how to plant cold melons."

When he arrived here, he was a real rural area with simple people. Song Jiuyi was an official, second was an earl, and third was the owner of the expensive vegetable. Guo Siyi believed it. This kind of planting would definitely not work. Song Jiu taught him to open ridges and dig out trenches, otherwise he would not be able to drain the water.

Then the melon seedlings are moved out and put into the small seedling field. The small seedlings must be strengthened with sufficient farm fertilizer. Then dig in the field, fertilize in the ditch, and the melon seedlings grow up and move them to the ditch. At the same time, you must learn to graft, artificially teach pollen, weave small hats to cover the melon keys. Of course, you also need to catch insects, etc.

After hearing this, Guo Si said, "Count Song, I have no money and no time to go."

It turns out that after Zhao Kuangyin sent someone to get the seeds, he followed Song Jiu's advice and sent them to some people on saline-alkali land to plant and fend for themselves. So the people planted them and sprinkled them on the sand, without fertilizing or watering them, and really let them fend for themselves...

Song Jiu said: "Let's do this, I'll send someone to give you ten cents of money tomorrow. You ask someone to help. If your farmer is not rich enough, buy some with the money."

After saying that, he rode back with Han Qingxiong.

The yield of this method is definitely very low, and it will be slower to promote it. However, after guiding one, seeing the effect, people will imitate it in the future, and it will be faster to promote it. At least in the summer, there will be the same fruit that can be explained.

However, this still doesn’t work. Or just have a greenhouse of watermelon this winter?

...

No matter how the money from Pan Weide brothers came, with this money injected, the other yamen took out their pockets one after another.

The officials of the Quyuan Academy were very good at buying money. In fact, the proportion of buying money in the Song Dynasty was not very large, only about 10%, and it was mainly official. However, this price was more practical than the price of cabbage, which forced Song Jiu to arrive at the Quyuan and actively signed an agreement to buy money in a proportion of 200,000 jin of jin for every 200,000 jin. If it was 2 million jin, he would buy money in a 10,000 jin. Two million jin would be able to buy money in a 2 million jin. Two million jin was not impossible. The annual alcohol production of the Song Dynasty was very amazing. It seemed that it was just quid wine, and it once occupied more than 10 million jin in Wang Anshi's reform. If it included corruption among officials, the actual number would be more than 20 million jin. A jin of good and bad is quid, and a family also used 300 jin a year.

Others don’t say that. Last year, the Song Jiuyi family ate more than 1,000 kilograms of wine and drank them as beer. If they drink them as drinks, can they not use much? In fact, if they gained a reputation, the output may be far more than two million kilograms in a few years.

This must be made clear now, otherwise if you don’t pay extra, others will think it’s unfair and if you add extra money, the yamen will not be willing to do so, and it will be unfair.

The officials of the Qu Yuan did not understand his intentions and saw that Song Jiu took the initiative to make money, and they were both amused and crying.

But Song Jiu didn't say much. The number of pounds now is also a very vague number for the yamen. Moreover, it would be a expensive wine, and it doesn't care about the pound of 5 cents to lose money. After finishing this matter, Song Jiu asked someone to call Zhu Yanei, and some people have not received the news yet, just like last year. Song Jiu temporarily paid them for them. It was not too much money, and they would pay it back soon. Song Jiu only said two things. The core of the first thing, that is, the distillation place must be preserved. The yamen cannot move around, just on the twenty acres of land that Song Jiu gave away. The second thing was to repeatedly remind that buying land can be done. Negotiate, that is, dozens of acres of land should not be bullied. In a few months, all three things will be opened, so there will be no storm at this moment.

Then he handed it over to Zhu Yanei, including them digging winemakers, building workshops, and how to regulate it.

The workshop was built, at least three or two months later, but the wharf was completed. Zhao Kuangyin personally led the ministers to watch the ceremony.

Unlike Hongqiao, it was just for the Happy New Year. Zhao Kuangyin took the ministers to come and left after a look. The dock was very important. Song Jiu said that there would be taxes transported from the Bian River to the capital from the Bian River, not only. As Hunan gradually became more stable, including Hunan and Jianghan, these taxes also had to be transported from this lifeline to the capital.

Huainan was gradually stable. Song Jiu talked about the Weitian in Tanzhou and mentioned Jiangdongwei. This Jiangdong area is very large, including east of Ezhou, part of Poyang Lake, and the eastward area to the east, to Runzhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and also to Jiangbei in the opposite side of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

The flood season is different from Wu and Yue. Wu and Yue are close to the sea. The flood season is mainly in autumn. The mountain torrents caused by typhoons are often caused, which leads to flood disasters. The Jiangdong area is a little far from the sea, but there are many rivers, so the flood season begins after plum rain.

The dikes circle the swamps and lakes, turning the lakes into fertile fields. When the flood season comes, it will be a real river field. Not only does it require a lot of manpower, but it will also send people to fight against the flood season and protect the flood season. It is obviously unrealistic to build Jiangdongwei under the current situation of Huainan Road.

However, Huainan has a developed water system, a warm climate, and the harvest is far higher than that in the north. Once stable, the tax ratio will increase immediately.

There are also tribute tributes from Wu and Yue and Southern Tang.

Song Jiu said the year before yesterday that the Bian River was not as good as the Wuzhang River, but this year is different. After autumn, Jianghan and Hunan will not change, and the Bian River will be far above the Wuzhang River. Not to mention the high yield of crops in the south, even the area of ​​the radiation is far beyond the population.

This makes Zhao Kuangyin careless.

Zhao Kuangyin led the ministers to come, with gongs and drums, gongs and drums, lanterns and firecrackers set off. It was a festive day. Lu Duan and Han Chongyun would also do face-saving projects and forcibly drove out the ships in the city. There would also be ships entering the city to unload goods, but the ban on traffic will become stricter until there are no ships in the city.

There are no relevant bans yet.

However, Lu Duan sent a yamen runner to chase him away. How dare the ship owner disobeyed? Then he stood curiously on the bow of the boat and looked at the king and his subjects.

There are also a series of rituals, including the Nuo ceremony, which is much more grand than when the Hongqiao was completed. In fact, Zhao Kuangyin had plans in his mind, and he was watching, just like Hongqiao, if it was safe and sound, after a period of execution, the Hongqiao would be used to replace the flat bridge on the Bian River. The same is true for the wharf. If the unloading speed is fast and manpower is saved, similar wharfs are set up on the Caishui, Jinshui River and Wutai River. Even in some important prefectures, small wharfs can be set up to reduce the labor force of the people across the country.

Hezhou is just a pilot.

But he did not say this idea, and the series of ceremonies ended and unloaded goods began. It turned out that Zhao Kuangyin had seen the unloading of the goods in the river. Obviously, this time the progress was greater and the unloading speed was faster. As cars transported the goods through cement roads to various parts of the city.

The summer tax has not yet come up, and although the warehouse has been built, it has not come in handy yet. However, this is for the sake of the future and no one will impeach or waste it.

After looking at it for a while, Zhao Kuangyin asked Han Chongyun: "Where is Han Qing, where is Song Jiu?"

"He came to take the students one by one to check the matter the day before yesterday, and then handed over the affairs to the old minister. He seemed to tell the students what he should write the textbooks as soon as possible."

Zhao Kuangyin knew what the textbook was, so he looked at the east side again. There was an amusement park on the east side. As long as no one died, Zhao Kuangyin would not care. This was what he had promised at the beginning, but there were many strange equipment, some of which were very tall, and he didn't know what to do. He thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the school."
