Chapter 274 Counterattack (1)

"It's good that way. You've been running around all these years, just take a break for a while." Pan Mei said.

"Father-in-law, don't be disappointed. I am a civil servant. If you are too full, it may not be a good thing. Since ancient times, those who have made great achievements can only have three consequences. First, Liu Yu, don't say that Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you will not do it with your father-in-law's temperament. Second, Li Jing and Guo Ziyi are named noble, but actually leave behind closed doors to thank guests in order to avoid disaster. Most of the father-in-law doesn't want to end up with that kind of skylight. Then there is only the third result, Fan Li and Han Xin!"

"Boy, let's take care of yourself." Pan Meile said.

Song Jiu was about to go back. He returned to Huizhou before and went to the laboratory. He had never seen the product of Tiangong Kaiyu, and it was not a complicated production process. He just pressed out the cane juice, added lime and sulfurite to clarify and decolorize, evaporated the juice, removed the water, heated the syrup, obtained crystallization, and then helped crystallize and dried honey. In the past life, a family factory could produce it. But in this era it became extremely complicated. After two years of research, it was barely available to obtain white cane sugar from the laboratory.

If you want to be able to promote it, you may have to wait two or three years.

This is not urgent, just have to have the laboratory product as a certificate. Song Jiu also prepared enough money to continue research, but when he was about to leave, he had to instruct the students to study the direction. He asked them not to hurry and took out 10,000 yuan of money to keep it as a reward for success in the future. Then he wrote a memorial and handed it to the capital with a fast horse. Zhao Pu has not yet fallen, and will bear fruit in Guangnan next year. Song Jiu was afraid that Zhao Pu would send someone to pick the fruit. Therefore, he wrote the memorial and used a porcelain bottle to put sugar in the capital. Explain its significance and showed it to Zhao Kuangyin. The experimental workshop was located in Huizhou, no matter who came to Guangzhou and Huizhou to serve as an official. The court asked them to cooperate. Once the research was successful, it could be promoted. It would increase countless incomes to the court in a year, and even half of the tea-deal income could be paid.

Only then did Pan Lian'er secretly send her to Guangzhou. Song Jiu also wanted to rush back. Yuping couldn't support her at home, but unfortunately, Lian'er was pregnant. Fortunately, she was still early before delivery, and even three or four months later, Lian'er could not go back.

He hired a boat and asked Lian'er to go back by boat.

Afraid of something wrong, a few large airbags were prepared on the boat and placed next to Lian'er. When something happened to the boat, I hugged the airbags tightly, even if they were in the Yangtze River, I could get ashore safely. Pan Mei looked at these airbags and laughed and cried.

Song Jiu quickly rode his horse and secretly headed straight for Shaozhou, from Shaozhou to Lianzhou, and entered Hunan. He walked very quickly, and the people of Huizhou were buried in the valley. On the way, Song Jiu saw many Song Housing, Song Houdao, Song Houyan, Song Houba, Song Houdi...

Although he was erased all his official positions, he was somewhat unhappy. Seeing these, Song Jiu was still a little proud, and he became addicted to his parents' official positions.

It was not until he arrived in Lianzhou that the people of Huizhou did not know about this. They looked at the north and cried bitterly.

Song Jiu almost reached the peak of Huizhou's official affairs, but asked him what he did. He didn't do anything. He just urged the officials below to take some leads occasionally, or went to the people's homes to check and ask about their well-being. As for the legendary Bao Qingtian, none of them was similar to him. Life was not too simple, and it was really something that could be said, that is, not accepting bribes. As for accepting bribes, or approachable, and never pretended to be an air. But when he heard that Song Jiu left Lingnan, the people in most areas were ashamed of their parents, and their sorrows were almost impossible to express in words. It scared all Guangnan officials that dared not tell the truth about Song Jiu's dismissal.

But all this is not important to Song Jiu.

Either the experiment is concerned, and the students and farmers evacuated one after another after several years.

The capital is in sight.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Song Jiu returned home.

It was the time to come back, and the Song family was in chaos. Chen Congxin said that the prefectures and counties were indeed all prefectures. The disaster area was large, and almost a dozen states were flooded with varying degrees of weight, and these dozen states were all important states with high population density. But overall, the entire Song Dynasty was still vast and sparsely populated. After more than ten years of rest and recuperation, some of them were busy, mainly sericulture and cotton industries. The losses were not great. At worst, the food was expensive, which made them complain. The real severe disaster would not exceed 200,000 households. Unless Yingtian Prefecture and Chanzhou were flooded last year and again, and this year, the people would have nothing.

Then there is food. It is not just that there is no grain, but there is food. There is food in Jianghuai and Jinghu, especially Jinghu, which is often used to save the people of the Tang Dynasty in the south. There is also a lot of food in Jianghuai. If the Secretariat forced the order to assist the three departments in collecting grain and ships, and spreading the four directions, and encouraging private merchants to transfer grain to the north, then the grain crisis in the whole north will be alleviated.

The three officials lost a lot. The people who recruited the people had to use food and grass. This was helpless, but they could not come out of the treasury. At that time, they should have transferred food from the south. Later, the Secretary of the Central Committee looked at the news of the states and counties. It turned out that Li Chongju fell down, not all the magistrates saw it. They only saw one thing. Song Jiu had such great contributions. Zhao Pu's children in the rear were prying the hind legs of the river. This was not satisfied. They said they would get it down and directly cut off their posts for the people. What would they think?

Just hold Zhao Pu’s thigh, the idea is the second king, and the operation is the third department.

Both of them are Zhao Pu's political enemies, so why do you have to be a human being? It's unhappy to attract Zhao Pu.

Therefore, the strategy was correct, but it was not implemented well. Apart from the autumn tax, it was calculated and could not count. Then, a hundred thousand stones of grain were transferred from the south through public and private ships, and the private grain transported by some merchants, the crisis in the capital was temporarily alleviated. With this grain, you can survive until April and May next year, but when spring is in full bloom, the grain can still be transferred to the capital, and then the summer tax will come.

But it's just the capital.

There is still food. The north now has a lot of arable land per capita, and the grain is mostly in the major landlords' homes, so they hoarded the goods. In addition, the states and counties remained silent and did not cooperate, so there was no food in the past.

That year, a big hunger!

The problem is back to farmers' income. What are the fourth-class and fifth-class households? Their income is not high, and their annual net income is only a few tens of cents of qian, so why can they survive? Because most of them are self-produced and self-sufficiency, from grain to weaving, or even building houses. Therefore, there are several tens of cents of qian, and they can survive. But everything depends on buying, which will cost them their lives. And because grain merchants and landlords hoarded, the prices of grain in various places soared, so they originally had less money. Can they buy one month of grain afford the second month of grain?

Zhao Kuangyin faintly noticed it in the palace and said to Zhao Pu: "Five dynasties have conquered cruelty. The people have suffered the disaster. I have selected more than a hundred Confucian officials to do things. They divide the great vassals and are all greedy."

Officials from all prefectures are not very good!

Zhao Pu recommended Xin Zhongfu.

Zhao Kuangyin thought about it, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Song Jiu couldn't understand. If he was not satisfied with Zhao Pu's victory, he could still make a big spoil, or if he was not satisfied with Zhao Kuangyi's victory, Zhao Kuangyi could really lead troops to rebel? He thought it was simple, Zhao Kuangyin's thought was complicated. It didn't matter if he took down ordinary ministers, but what would happen if he took down important officials? Zhao Kuangyin highly praised Li Cunxu in military affairs. Therefore, he was very familiar with Li Cunxu's history. Li Cunxu successfully killed Guo Chongtao and then dealt with Li Siyuan. Li Siyuan was dissatisfied. With the support of soldiers, he raised an army to rebel and attacked Luoyang. Li Cunxu was burned to death.

At this time, Zhao Pu and later Zhao Kuangyi had strength similar to Li Siyuan.

They are guilty, but they have made great achievements and cannot be killed. If they are not planned properly, bad things may happen, and the Song Dynasty will soon be divided.

Later, I received a memorial from Song Jiu and saw the bottle of snow-white sugar. This was the real frosting. It was so clean, like white jade and powder snow. I didn’t have to eat it, but it was so pleasing to the eye. How much does it cost per pound? No wonder my concubine asked her to borrow money to send it to the south for research. This is for the country, for his country!

Zhao Kuangyin felt quite regretful.

Fortunately, I endured my anger at that time, otherwise if I issued an edict to abandon the market, where would I find this loyal minister?

In addition, he heard that the famine outside was serious, and he felt even more dissatisfied. However, Zhao Pu's power had been established, so many officials agreed with local officials, and he was very moved and held Qianjun. He did not think about whether to completely stop the precepts or suppress them. The second brother Guan Jian was timid...

The main reason is that there is no food, and the court's relief is in a swaying state.

The people began to flee,

The Hezhou project was stopped. After the Fifth Ring Bridge was repaired, Song Jiu had no plans to rest in the second half of the year. Fortunately, he would rest in the second half of the year, otherwise he would be used. The servants said that the Hezhou project was repairing together, delaying unloading.

However, the expansion of many workshops and the opening of more than 100 shops, the original relocated households were requisitioned. The servants also moved, and the women in their families found jobs one after another. This is the normal Hezhou, where there are busyness and leisure. Hezhou is not under construction, and it has gradually become standardized. Therefore, seeing that the victims flee to famine, Yuping built disaster sheds on the open spaces in Henan to help the people. It’s a pity that Hezhou has not been built and cannot use labor for relief. Then he bought high-priced rice and distributed it to the victims every day.

Not all wealthy families are rich and unkind.

There are also many big-name merchants who make jade apples, which have nothing to do with merchants. Don’t landlords still hoard? Among these rich families, there are merchants and landlords.

This is normal, and it is available in all prefectures and counties.

But at this time, many relatives came, most of whom were in Daming Mansion. When Song De was alive, he occasionally went back to his hometown in Daming Mansion to check out. When Song De and his wife died, the Song family gradually declined, and they cut off contact. In fact, there was a lack of real close relatives.

After the Song family became prosperous, these relatives came to recognize each other again. Song Jiu was open-minded and it didn't matter. Some relatives were poor in recent years and sent people to provide relief. Some of them were desperate and transferred to Hezhou to work.

It is said that they do good deeds, and there is another generation left. The exchanges were cut off for a long time. Even if there are some relatives or clan ties, they are basically mainly for relief and are not considered exchanges. The terrain of Daming Prefecture is low-lying, and this year it is also a severely affected area.

Some families live a good life, but at worst they buy high-priced food, so they can survive without bothering the Song family. It is the same in any region. There are good people and bad people, and there are neither good nor bad people. The latter is the most, the former is less, and the second is also less.

But some relatives and clans couldn't stand it, so they came to the capital to find Yu Ping. Song Jiu didn't use much money this year, and Yu Ping was not busy, so when he came, he gave them some money and asked them to go home. Some relatives couldn't even tell the relationship between the eighteen generations. As long as they came, they would have some meaning. These people also thanked Zero and then went back happily. However, not everyone appreciated this affection, so three precious eggs were produced.

After finding the Song family, Song Jiu had not returned, but the official was dismissed and the door was taken away. Why bother? Song Jiu was in Ci, and sent a central envoy to intimidate Song Jiuci, but now he wants to take it away. So Song Jiu privately talked about something with Pan Lian'er, which was a gold medal to avoid death, and often sang in the plays, but this thing is not good, and the possibility of death is very small. If you really get it or something like that, no one can die well!

He was happy to take off Song Jiu.

But I don't know these three treasures. One is the grandson of Song De's uncle and uncle. Song Jiu also wants to call him the uncle. He is a relative relative in his hometown of Daming Mansion. Although he is still far apart, he is also an elder. Song Jiu wants to call him the grandfather. The other is an elder in the surname Song. He is so high that he is afraid of others. Song Jiu wants to call him the grandfather. However, the three of them are not old, all of them are in their twenties. They come to the capital and have a naughty temperament. They think that Song is the grandfather. However, the three of them are not old. They are all in their twenties. They come to the capital and are naughty. They think that Song is a man of the same nature.

The family really fell. Yuping didn't remember that it was the elders who came and asked the fifth sister to take them to the new inn. The eldest sister and the seventh sister took turns to entertain them for two more days, and then gave them money and money. You guys are back home. However, the three of them stayed in the inn and stopped leaving, and then they ate and had fun, and even went to prostitutes. The eldest sister was so arrogant that they scolded. They came to Song Jiu's house again to find Yuping. They thought she was a concubine, and the grandmother was very lustful and almost teased Yuping.
