Chapter 263: The Halberd (Part 2)

Wang Ming stopped talking.

Zhao Pu is too powerful, that's a god, and he doesn't dare to mention it.

Several people did not mention Zhao Pu, so they sat down to negotiate. There was a strong wind outside, which the people called hurricanes, but in fact they were typhoons, and there were more after autumn. However, the typhoon brought a heavy rain and the weather was a little cooler. Often, several people didn't care and continued to discuss and improve.

Then I wrote the memorial and waited for the rain to come to the capital immediately. Wang Ming sighed and said, "What will Lingnan become if this continues?"

"Your Majesty said that if you don't turn it into a wealthy person like the Southern Tang Dynasty, you won't let me go back. There's nothing you can do."

"Haha," the few people laughed. This is a joke, don't take it seriously. Pan Mei said: "Your concubine wrote you a letter, you can take a look."

Pan Lian'er took out the letter written by Yuping and handed it to Song Jiu.

Song Jiu opened it and took a look.

To prevent anyone from reading it, Yu Ping's letter was written very vaguely, without saying any ideas, and only wrote down the various events that happened in Hezhou in the past six months, including the appreciation of the halberd. Pan Mei said: "Where is the halberd standing in front of the door?"

If he had made a choice, he would rather have this halberd than a military governor.

Song Jiu did not speak and continued to look down. Yuping was worried so much, but Song Jiu was not worried. The reason was very simple. Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi were enjoying the nature of Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi. He only wanted to be an autocratic person, and he didn't want to be an emperor. If people wanted to ask for him, why should they win people's hearts? It's too simple to use the position in his hand to promote him and make money. Zhao Kuangyi's goal was a bit "lofty", and he could not do business openly like Zhao Pu. Therefore, the division of Hezhou was very important for Zhao Kuangyi.

Zhao Kuangyi now seems to be at a low point, but his actual power strategy may not be inferior to Zhao Pu. Can he let Zhao Chengzong destroy Hezhou? But Zhao Chengzong comes public and can do it himself. Next year!

Starting next year, Hebei will be completely destroyed.

After reading it, I asked Pan Mei and Yin Chongke: "The salary of the governor is higher than that of the prime minister. How much may it be? You won't be short of money. Your children have covenants in Hezhou. Can't this covenant money be compensated?"

"Xiaojiu, please make it clearer."

"Father-in-law, the imperial court is cutting off military power. How many military governors are there? What is the need for this military governor to be famous for his merits and demerits in the south?"

Pan Mei and Yin Chongke remained silent.

What a joke, how difficult it is to be a military governor? Is it difficult to give up? Song Jiuyi saw their expressions and knew that it was not good to persuade him, and said, "Okay, I won't say it."

Start writing in front of them.

First, the arrangement of Hezhou. The yamen did not care about the dividends, and invested money to dilute their own shares, so they simply let them dilute one. Therefore, in the letter, Song Jiu talked about two tasks in Hezhou. The first thing was to buy land and build bridges. The Hebei land outside Dongshuimen increased more severely, but after more tourists, it was crowded back and forth and could not stay, but instead became wasteland. Song Jiu asked Yuping to buy these lands and then build bridges to the north of the corner gate. A road passage was left in the middle, and a curved bridge was set up in the north to reduce the slope. Let people go up and down with cars, and go up four curved bridges and four main streets of Hezhou. This is what he intended to leave behind the northwest corner of Hezhou. He would also make a small square, but it was mainly for building bridges.

The dragon guarding dike in the west is very wide. However, there are too many tourists, and the tax vehicles of the imperial court, the Shitang is in chaos. Guards have to be sent to mediate day and night. After the bridge is built, the crowding situation will be improved immediately.

But not only that, once the bridge is upright, many tourists will enter Hezhou directly from this bridge, rather than from Hebei to Baiyu Bridge and return from Hezhou. Without tourists, there will be nothing left. If Henan is built again, go from Hezhou and come back from Henan, there will be even fewer tourists in Hebei. Then, a small dock is built diagonally opposite Zhengdian, Henan, and three ship-drunk unloading grooves.

I am still very careful for the time being. First, the dragon guarding dike is crowded, and second, it is very inconvenient to unload goods at the wharf and then transport them to Henan. Even if it is repaired and Henan is not built, the real consequences may not be seen.

Maybe Zhao Pu can see it now, maybe he can't.

However, Song Jiu vaguely felt that Zhao Puquanyan was like this, and it was almost done. Although Yu Ping did not say the eight words Zhao Kuangyi in the letter, the sky wanted to die, and she would definitely want to be crazy.

Song Jiu did not write his intentions, and the letter still mentioned these two reasons, the justification and open reason.

The second is the resignation statement written to Zhao Kuangyin. The merits and demerits are rejected. The minister is a senior official and he is guilty of having a halberd in front of the door. I resigned him. If Your Majesty does not allow him, I would rather resign and go home than even an official.

Since the Kaiyuan Lili, it is okay to ask for a halberd or a halberd. If the reason for asking for a halberd is appropriate, it was allowed in the Tang Dynasty. If the reason for giving a halberd is appropriate, it is also allowed. Although there is less honor, it is often said to be a beautiful story.

Pan Mei doesn't care about Hezhou's affairs, she can't control it.

But when he saw Ci Ji, he became anxious and said, "Xiao Jiu, you can't say anything. If you want to have this opportunity after you quit, you must not."

"Father-in-law, be content and happiness will always be prosperous. Extreme prosperity will decline. The inevitable principle of the development of things cannot be too glorious to last for a long time." Song Jiu said lightly. There are still many things. Song Jiu asked Yuping to borrow 200,000 yuan in money, which was to be a bigger ticket. But before that, there was one thing to do, and he said slowly: "Father-in-law, it is my business to refuse or not. Let's talk about Lingnan. Salt."

There are also many salt fields in Guangnan. Just like boiling salt in Qiantang River, the salt soil on the seaside is plowed out with oxen, then poured with water, and then boiled with precipitation. There are also some routines for storing, but this is the basic principle.

The cost is high, and a pound of salt costs four cents, which is slow, and a large number of oxen and salt households are required.

What Song Jiu said was to dry salt. He first lay the salt fields by the sea, and use the tide principle to introduce the steamed salt fields into the brine pool, and then evaporate it from the brine pool for the second time. Then boil and process it. It is not that simple. How to set the brine pool, the height of the field dam, and related processes also need to be tested. However, it is a simple technology.

First, it is fast speed, second, it saves labor and oxen, and third, it is low cost.

As for whether it will impact the price of salt, the problem is not big. The issue of salt is a tariff issue, not because of the lack of salt in the original state. Even if more than 20 million households in the Song Dynasty later did not lack salt or private salt...

If there is too much salt, control the salt field. If there is too little salt, increase the salt field.

"You can try this, first test it out and then report it to the court." Yin Chongke said.

Several people were talking, and the yamen runners hurried in to report: "Two governors and two transshipment commanders, floods in the southeast were swept up to the shore by hurricanes, flooding many families."

"Go out and have a look," Pan Mei put on her straw raincoat and said to the others.

The four of them rode on their horses and braved the wind and rain. They rushed out of the city. The terrain of Guangzhou was different from that of later generations. They went out to the southeast of Guangzhou, which was the later generations Shunde, Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Macau, but were alluvial islands alluvial, and there were more than a thousand islands of all sizes. The pirates encountered by the merchants mostly occurred in this area. This problem was not big, and the key was the waves. Because of the lack of berths. Once a typhoon came, the sea water was swept ashore. In fact, there were good arable land on the beach. However, because of this, few people farmed and were far away from the sea.

However, when encountering a large typhoon, it will also cause severe flooding.

I rode a horse for about ten miles and saw a typhoon rolling the waves and rushing ashore constantly. Hundreds of people's houses were flooded by the sea.

Pan Mei and Yin Chongke had to arrange for people to save the people.

What property is there, don’t worry about it. Let’s save the person first.

A heavy rain came with the typhoon. Song Jiu stood in the rain, almost unable to open his eyes.

Several bigwigs were arranging people as the people, but he thought a lot. Lingnan has benefits. The tyranny of the Southern Han Dynasty was easy to implement, no matter what policies it implemented, including exemption from service. Moreover, the conflicts between the few people were not very serious, and they wanted to make the merits and punishments, so they all put their minds into it. Either a new general and judge Xie Yi, I don’t know if he is a good official, but who can he restrain that person? Even Song Jiu dared not make things difficult.

There are also many disadvantages.

There are large areas of barbarians in many areas, which are inconvenient to the court to manage directly, otherwise it will cause civil unrest. There are also complex terrain. Many mountainous areas are like Hunan, which is short of water, with little soil and lots of stones, making it difficult to survive. Xiangqinjiang and other areas are different. Although the lower reaches are plains, they are similar to the northern part of Wu and Yue. The rivers are short and flat, and they can be short of water in the dry season. During the flood season, the mountain torrents will break out and the water cannot be leaked, so many places are flooded. If the large Qinjiang Delta is now a swamp area, and few people live there.

The Xijiang River is similar to the east terrain of the Yangtze River. There is no shortage of both sides of the river, but at the beginning of summer, the rainy season increases, and the river water cannot flow to the sea immediately, so both sides are easily flooded. Therefore, the flood season is long until after autumn. When it reaches the seaside, it looks like the southern part of Wu and Vietnam, which means that the sea water flows backwards with the typhoon, just like what you see today.

Because it is a southern wasteland, China has started operating since the Qin and Han Dynasties, but it does not pay attention to it. There are not many water conservancy projects in various prefectures and counties, including Yanzhidouba, river embankment, lake embankment, river embankment and sea embankment. It is like a blank area, turning three mature places in a season into increasingly backward places. There is no people or wealth, and all kinds of demons have come, miasma, gu, backward, barbaric, damp heat, poisonous insects...

This problem is not big. No matter how complicated the terrain is, it can be handled differently. The clerks led by Pan Yin and the other have also accumulated some experience in Hunan. But there are two things: one is people and the other is money. Without them, one thing cannot be done well.

Thinking of this, Song Jiu was so angry that he wanted to return to the capital and beat Liu Feng again. Don’t worry, even if you leave a palace, it would be enough for Song Jiu to spend a year in Lingnan. He burned all the fire.

The people were rescued one by one.

Dozens of people were unknown and most of them drowned.

A low crying sound came from the crowd.

Several big guys were comforting each other with kind words.

An elder said, "Several generals, you are good officials of the Holy Emperor. You have done your best and cannot damage your body. The people of Lingnan still need to count on you and go back quickly."

The crowd behind him agreed.

Who made God like this?

At least they had never seen officials in Han Dynasty do this, braved the heavy rain to personally direct the rescue of the victims.

Song Jiuben didn't want to be too troublesome. If he took action on water conservancy, it would be a big deal. Lingnan's conditions are now unable to keep up. Moreover, he has a lot of things, so he went down to inspect it and only targeted the officials. It would be easier to sort out the officials from top to bottom.

However, looking at the group of victims in front of you, and some of the grief and confusion in the eyes of the people who lost their loved ones, they couldn't help but say, "My fellow villagers, would you like to fight with me, fight with the sea, the river, and the mountains, and turn Lingnan into a real paradise on earth?"

A middle-aged man shouted: "Who is willing, Song Hou, what do you think you want us to do?"

Pan Mei and Yin Chongke, and Wang Ming stared at Song Jiu.

Others can't take it seriously, but it may not be impossible for Song Jiu to say it.

Song Jiu said: "I need your hard work and sweat, and I also need you to recommend talents to me, especially those who are proficient in water conservancy. I will serve as a magistrate, a magistrate, a magistrate, and a magistrate, and a magistrate for the emperor."

Yan Tong, a minor official next to Pan Mei, asked: "Song Zhuan, can you do it?"

"No matter who it is, as long as you have the ability, you can do it." Song Jiudao also issued an edict, and Guangzhou had the right to choose a prefect.

Several people sent minor officials to settle the victims, and after the rain, they wanted to build houses for them and send disaster relief supplies. Then they returned to the city. It was getting dark and the few people did not disperse. Wang Ming asked worriedly: "Xiao Jiu, can it be done?"

Fighting with the sea, fighting with the river and fighting with the mountains sounds very grand, but in fact it turns into two words, it is water conservancy. It is better to add embankments and dams to set up, but the most troublesome thing about this big seaside is what kind of embankment is to block the rush of sea water?

If you can succeed, it will be of great merit. Guangnan has many mountains and the plains are mostly in the delta of several rivers, but the sea water has become a serious obstacle. Once the sea water is blocked, only these deltas can be cultivated, I don’t know how many people can be raised.

"Maybe it can do it," Song Jiu's mind came to a stone pond (stone dam) he saw during his previous life. The tour guide also introduced its principle. However, he sighed: "In the final analysis, there is no need for people and money."

Song Jiu looked at Yan Tong again, drew a picture with a stroke, and said, "If you can come up with a way to save money within four days, I will immediately let General Pan serve as the magistrate of a county in Guangzhou."
