Zhou Renjun, who was sitting below, sighed a long time.

"Zhou Sihu, what's wrong with you?" Song Jiu asked. He was a civil servant of Pan Mei, and Ping Lingnan also had some contributions. In fact, if Liu Qing had not burned the palace and treasury, everyone would have contributed. From the expedition to the rule, who wouldn't he use it as two people?

Pan Mei said: "Your Majesty issued an edict to choose Zhou Renjun as the crown prince Zhongyun, and to use Danya to strengthen the military subordinates of Wan'an.

This is a fourth-rank official, the biggest boss of Hainan Island, and I am afraid it is also above history. The Central Plains Central Government's first public disclosure rather than being given a depressed official to settle in Hainan Island. However, Zhou Renjun and Shanghai South Island were unable to find a suitable candidate, most of them died of old age on Hainan Island.

It would be better if he was Zhou Wei, but from Lingnan, Zhou Renjun was from Ruyang, Henan. Song Jiu said: "Zhou Zhizhou, I will accompany you to Qiongzhou Island to take a look."

Zhou Renjun still didn't say anything.

Song Jiu said again: "Zhou Zhizhou, if you turn Qiongzhou Island into a garden and a sea of ​​money, can the imperial court stay on Qiongzhou Island for the rest of your life?"

There are two consequences. One becomes worse, and Zhou Renjun will be transferred, but the result will be very miserable. The other is to become better and better. The court saw that he had money, food and soldiers, and Zhou Renjun won the hearts of the people. He would be worried about being able to transfer Zhou Renjun back through a strait.

Zhou Renjun's eyes lit up and he said, "I need manpower."

"Tell me, those men are needed." Pan Mei said. His capable civil servant Pan Mei also regretted his visit to Hainan Island.

Zhou Renjun said the names of Luo Chongcan, four officials from the Southern Han Dynasty, and they were all first-class officials from the Southern Han Dynasty. Luo Chongcan was also a county magistrate under Song Jiu, and was also Song Jiu's right-hand assistant. He was proficient in water conservancy and charity, and loved the people. Song Jiu said in surprise: "Zhou Zhizhou, you really know how to choose people."

Zhou Renjun said: "I also asked for some money and silk, and then transferred twenty students and dozens of old peasants to go there. This is a borrowing, Song Jiu and Qiongzhou hundreds of thousands of hectares of land. You can do it."

Pan Mei said: "I'm sure. But if you choose four pseudo-Han officials as the four prefects of Qiongzhou, you must report to the court for permission."

"The problem is not big. Your Majesty once told the prime minister that there is no need to be a regular official. Let Renjun choose a false official and govern it according to his customs."

"Okay. Then how much money do you plan to ask for?"

"At least 200,000 yuan in money and silk..." Zhou Renjun said that many good officials in the south now regard money as honey, but this money is different from the money of most officials. Without money, you cannot develop it. You should treat it as a development. You must put it in your own pocket. You also said: "But I only need some money and silk, and the others into agricultural tools, and some gunpowder."

"You have such a big appetite." Song Jiu said with a wry smile.

"Who made Qiongzhou Island a backward and barbaric place? I have to build at least a few simple roads when I go up and recruit some local soldiers. Otherwise, how can my government orders be made? There are also some water conservancy, and repair several ports, so that you will not have to spend money?"

"Xiaojiu, you can squeeze it again, Renjun is right." Pan Mei said again: "Xiaojiu, Mrs. Mo has sent Lian'er a brocade."

After saying that, he took out a piece of Guangjin with respect and handed it to Song Jiu.

At first, Mo Wen was amused and crying, but finally he heard something about her. After she and Zhou Wei were separated, she also brought two children with her. The mother advised her to remarry. Mo said that I believe that officials would definitely come back to welcome me. Then he waited hard in the south for twenty-six years, and during this period, he also helped his two sons to get married and start a career. Zhou Wei finally came back. Song Jiu was half respectful and half sad, and asked a group of literati to compile this story into a play and sang it in the theater. Zhao Kuangyin heard about it from somewhere and gave his two sons the official position.

Song Jiu thought for a while and said, "It's really not possible, just squeeze it."

Then he said the important matter: "Two generals are worse than our soldiers."

"It's not appropriate. Jiaozhi is too far away, and the people are wild and chaotic, and they can't be cured even if they get it." Pan Mei immediately refused.

"It's inappropriate. Although His Majesty was furious last year because of Jiaozhi's title, he sent envoys to scold him. This year, Ding Jiali sent envoys to repair and pay tribute, which was not in line with the way of siege."

Before the Southern Han Dynasty was attacked, the Song Dynasty also noticed the existence of this small country. Envoys went to Jiaozhi from the sea and appointed Dingmen as the Prince of Jiaozhi to differentiate the relationship between the Southern Han and Jiaozhi and secretly supported Jiaozhi to grow stronger. Song Jiu was not sure. After the Dingmen ruled to unite the twelve envoys, he ascended the throne and honored the Emperor of Ming. He built a capital in Hualu City, dug up a pond, built a palace, formulated court rituals, established hundreds of officials, adopted the year title, set the civil and military monks and Taoist ranks, and implemented the ten-road military system.

After Pan Mei pacified the Southern Han Dynasty, the Hunan soldiers sent them back together and were unable to conquer the south again. They reported this to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin sent a middle-level envoy to issue a letter to him: Zhongxia is like a man who has limbs. If his confidant is not at peace, can he be treated in four bodies? In Jiaozhou, far away from the end of the sky, there are many difficulties in the Tang Dynasty, and there is no time to stay. Now the holy dynasty covers all countries, and the cause of peace has also been completed. When you come to an end, Emperor Kanghou will not be in the corner. You are not worried about me, so that I can use the plan to slaughter the country and regret it.

Ding was so scared that he was out of his mind. At the end of the year, he received the letter of state and immediately sent an envoy to Songdu. When he passed through Lingnan, he deliberately apologized to Pan Mei.

"General Yin, have they removed the title of emperor?"

"It's not appropriate. If you want to attack, please help the West of Yongxi to manage successfully. I will grant you this suggestion." Pan Mei said.

"It is a siege, not a stake. Although the envoys sent to apologize, the person was not truly convinced. The southerners built more sea boats and would soon get a water. If they sent a light cavalry to attack the border and wait for an opportunity to enter the inland river from the sea, summer and autumn are the highest time for the inland rivers."

"Battle of Tengjiang?"

"General Yin, the battle example cannot be copied. Just as Zhou Zhizhou went to Qiongzhou, there was a natural port in Yazhou. In Guangzhou, he trained the navy in the name of fighting pirates, and then went to sea in the name of fighting pirates. When the ship arrived at Yazhou, he first sent small boats to carry warriors to moor at various river estuaries in the name of doing business. Once the enemy noticed it, he set up pointed wooden stakes at the estuary, and the warriors on the ship rushed out, and the navy entered. The name was to ask Ding's troops to take the Emperor to take the advantage of the waterway and take the money and silk to carry ships of all sizes. Not only did our dynasty have ships, but there were also many fishing boats and merchant ships in Jiaozhi. When they wanted to concentrate, they returned to Guangzhou."

There are many reasons for the failure of the Southern Han Dynasty to conquer Jiaozhi. Moreover, due to the domestic situation, it was impossible to re-exprove again. At this time, Pan Mei and Yin Chongke were in Lingnan. No matter who was in command, he was far more than ten times better than Liu Hongcao. Even in terms of real command ability, even if Di Qing came, he might not be as good as Pan Mei.

Thinking of this, Song Jiu suddenly understood why the literati later vilified Pan Mei and Di Qing, because they were both civil and military rulers and were military generals, and they could be governed no less than civil officials. They proved that military generals could become loyal ministers and good officials. This is not possible, and they must be slandered...

Thinking about the appearance of these scholars and officials, Song Jiu was speechless.

The two of them realized that Song Jiu meant to be a robber and was very moved.

In fact, they did not take Jiaozhi seriously. It was just that they had no soldiers and no money. It was not easy to control after taking over, so the two of them were not interested in Jiaozhi. The most tragic battle of the Song Dynasty in the attack on the country, the several main generals did not get a good end, and also dispelled the generals' confidence in expanding their territory.

However, after grabbing it, you can still do it after you give it a warning.

The rest of the matter has nothing to do with Song Jiu, Pan Yin and the others began to discuss, and Song Jiu couldn't even insert it even if he wanted to interrupt.

Zhou Renjun did not object either. Whether it was a military general or a civil servant, several generals and ministers who went south of the Song Dynasty were all militants. Therefore, more than 20,000 barbarians could not capture one of the city of Yongzhou, and Fan Yu was also a militant!

This also needs to be carefully prepared.

The navy must practice and prepare intelligence work. Of course, if the conditions are not allowed, it is still impossible to send troops.

Song Jiu and Zhou Renjun went to Hainan Island together. Song Jiu took Zhou Renjun and his party more seriously. The south was scary, let alone overseas islands. If Zhou Renjun did a good job, it might be a precursor to a major policy change...

The war was in a treacherous way, and Guangnan was preparing in secret, but there was no sign on the outside.

The Yellow River is still in Chanzhou again. The reason is very simple. The model of Song Jiu can see that Chanzhou is low in terrain, while both ends of the Yellow River are relatively high. To the east, it travels through the mountainous areas, so it mostly breaks the dam here. That is, if the Yellow River wants to find a better sea outlet, it can only find it from Chanzhou and walk all the way to Cangzhou, Daming Prefecture, which is a relatively low terrain.

And the rain came early this year, and May came, and it rained heavily. Zhao Kuangyin sent Cao Han to send 50,000 civilians to the dike. Song Jiu explained the principle, but Zhao Kuangyin was suspicious and asked the prime ministers: "The rain has not stopped, I am working hard day and night and at a loss. Could it be that the current affairs have been lost?"

Zhao Pu had no choice but to say: "Since your Majesty came to the imperial court, he was worried and diligent in common affairs, he would get rid of any disadvantages, and he would do good things when hearing good things. As for the bitter rain, he was a dereliction of duty by his ministers."

Zhao Kuangyin was silent for a while and said, "I think it's because there are many people in the harem. Yesterday, I ordered the investigation of the harem. There were more than 380 eunuchs and palace maids. So I told them who were willing to go home and said the reasons and feelings. I received more than 150 people. I gave them a generous gift to send them home."

Zhao Pu and other ministers praised him for his goodness.

In other words, there were only 230 eunuchs and palace maids in this harem.

The palace of the Song Dynasty was not big, but it was finally the palace. In such a large place, eunuchs had to pass the orders, clean, wash clothes and cook, and prepare palace banquets. Although palace maids and eunuchs were inhumane, the number was too small.

It is considered a benevolent government. As the harem of the unified dynasty, these eunuchs and palace maids can be said to have broken the record. However, the deportation in front and the Yellow River behind are determined by Daming Prefecture. All the prefectures in Henan and Hebei are flooded and have not suffered from the river break. However, all of them have severe flooding.

Zhao Kuangyin was thinking about it again. Did I not do well? So he issued an edict to prohibit the people of Guangnan from picking Haizhu. No matter whether it is for civil or official use, it is allowed to pick it, as many people will die.

Then I wrote an edict earlier that the Yellow River was determined by Yangwu County, the Bian River was determined by Zhengzhou, and the Bian River was determined by Songzhou.

Zhao Kuangyi whispered: "Brother, go and see that model."

You cannot think about God, and you cannot do the more you are kind and political, and God becomes more angry. There is no such reason.

The two brought them to the Secretariat, and Zhao Pu also had a headache for the Yellow River. He was the prime minister. When there was a disaster, the task was heavier. He summoned Song Jiu to discuss the Yellow River four times. Song Jiu did not say anything, but asked the minor officials to send several more models. The first model was that the Yellow River diverted from Chanzhou and entered Cangzhou. The second model was that after the terrain of Hebei was raised, Huang entered Ji. The third model was that the Ji River was almost ruined and Oyezawa was about to enter Huaihe from the east of Kaifeng.

The model is not a big problem in Zhongshu, but it really appears. Even if it appears once, it will be a huge disaster.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the model and asked, "Zeping, has no good idea yet?"

"The old minister can't think of it. If the river water is diversion and flood discharge, the river will be slow, and the sediment will be more severe, and the harm will be more severe than it is now. Or slow down the sediment, Your Majesty, can the people in Shaanxi not farm or plant it?"

Zhao Kuangyin also rubbed his head. He felt that the Tang Dynasty was not good, so he left a lot of messes for him, such as the autocracy of military generals, such as the Yellow River.

The two walked out of the Secretariat, Zhao Kuangyi said: "Brother Emperor, new cement is coming out, and I will issue an edict to encourage the people to use bricks and stones to build houses. They are also beautiful and gorgeous. Although the cost is a little more expensive, they are not as easy to catch fire as wooden houses. The emperor can set an example and build a palace with bricks and stones in the palace. Furthermore, encourage the people to use carbon and honeycomb coal. Ask Song Jiu again and ask him how those farms are. Then the cement and sand in the upper reaches of the Yellow River can be partially alleviated. Otherwise, the country will not be able to afford the disaster relief expenses."

The solution is a good idea, but Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a while and said, "I will discuss it later."

Zhao Kuangyi thought of Zhao Pu's timber business, and then disappeared gorgeously.

Cao Han blocked the Yellow River and broke the mouth.

But the big problem is coming when so many civilians and so many disaster victims are hungry.

Last year, the disaster relief scale was even larger today. The major countries wanted to ease taxes, and the levy taxes would be reduced. Chu Zhaofu came to report: "Your Majesty, the warehouses in the north can only be supplied until February next year. Please ask your Majesty to let the ban soldiers return to their hometown for food, and then let the officers and soldiers gather all the civilian ships together to go to Jianghuai to adjust the food, otherwise next spring..."

It can still last for half a year. If it was in previous years, it wouldn't matter if it was half a year, there would be an autumn harvest.
