Cai Yong found Kang Bao on the same day, and strongly recommended Zhang Lan as the assassin of Zhangzhou, replacing Yao Jian, who had mediocre ability, Cai Yong's reasons are also very sufficient, Zhang Lan's ancestral home is Zhangzhou, and he himself has served as the commander of Zhangpu County, and he is very familiar with the situation over there.

In fact, Kang Bao also received instructions from Guo Song before sending troops, Yao Guangping governed the five prefectures of Fujian quite well, and the people could live and work in peace and contentment, which was closely related to the strong ability of his senior officials, so Guo Song also agreed with Kang Bao to use Yao Guangping's subordinate officials.

But in addition to Fuzhou, the most populous Fuzhou, Guo Song intends to let the former Taifu Temple Secretary Zhang Chen serve as the Fuzhou Assassin History, Zhang Chen is a native of Fuzhou, and his return to Fuzhou can be regarded as a return to his hometown, this is not a degradement, Zhang Chen does not have the resume of a magistrate, which will hinder him from going one step further, and after he has done two terms in Fuzhou, he can be promoted to Shangshu when he returns to the Dynasty.

It was precisely because of the instructions of King Jin that Kang Bao asked Zhou Fei to recommend the temporary assassination history of Quanzhou, Zhou Fei recommended Cai Yong, and now Cai Yong recommended Zhang Lan as the temporary assassin of Zhangzhou, and Kang Bao readily agreed.

In the following days, Kang Bao sent 20,000 troops, and the soldiers were divided into four ways to kill the states, because Cai Yong wrote a letter to the Yao brothers in advance, to eliminate the misunderstanding, the Yao brothers surrendered to the imperial army, so that the 20,000 soldiers regained Fuzhou, Jianzhou, Tingzhou and Zhangzhou without blood, and the imperial army completely recovered the five states of Changle Jingluofu.

At the same time, the battle to capture Huaixi was also over, the four Jin army captured Shouchun City in two days, the two sides fought fiercely in the city for a night, Gao You was cornered, committed suicide by poisoning, and his last 8,000 troops were also wiped out.

Huaixi was recovered, which meant that the vast southern area south of the Huai River was completely pacified by the imperial court.

........

On this morning, dozens of craftsmen are installing glass on the windows of the Calyx Building, the residence of the King of Jin, which is a big deal, the glass is a new product made by the Xianyang craftsmen to supervise the glaze workshop, which is formed after melting quartz and quartz sand to remove impurities, forming a piece of flat glass, and then cutting it with a cutter head equipped with diamond.

The glass will take at least five days to pack, Guo Song's family temporarily moved out of the calyx building, all kinds of items were boxed, the furniture was wrapped in oilcloth, and the belongings were taken away.

Two craftsmen, wearing thick gloves, carefully placed a piece of glass with sharp edges on the outside, and a thin strip of wood had been nailed in advance? The inside is then nailed to the perimeter frame with slender pieces of wood, and the glass is fastened to the windows.

Guo Song stood in a window that had been installed with glass and took a closer look, in fact, there were obvious impurities in the glass? You can clearly see the large and small bubbles, and the transparency is not enough, and it is slightly more transparent than the natural crystal piece, and you can barely see the Ningcui Lake outside, and you can also see someone walking? But it's not clear who it is.

Xue Tao walked up to her husband, looked at the glass and smiled: "We all say this is crystal glass?" Or is it called Langjing? How did you give it a glass name? ”

Guo Song shook his head and smiled: "It's actually a cheap artificial gemstone, and it can't afford the reputation of Langji?" It's okay to call it crystal glass, but the name doesn't matter? The question is, how do you feel? ”

Xue Tao said happily: "Of course everyone likes it?" With it, the room won't have to be lit during the day in winter? The room was much brighter. ”

Before that, the windows were generally closed in winter? And the windows are all planks, it is impossible to paste paper? Don't want to put yarn on it? So as soon as you close the window? The room would become very dim, so you could only light candles, and then there was bamboo strip paper, and the rich and noble people used bright tiles or oil paper, in short, before the advent of glass, lighting in winter was always a big problem.

"Husband, can this kind of glass be promoted?"

"Of course, it can be promoted, its raw material is the sand and gravel on the river beach, how much it wants, but it takes time, step by step!"

At this time, a female guard behind him reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, Pan Xiangguo just sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that there is something important. ”

Guo Song nodded and smiled at his wife: "I guess there is any news coming, I'll go to the official room to take a look!" Aim to come back early. ”

"Husband, go! You can't finish it in a day or two, so you don't care. ”

Guo Song has been a little sick in the past two days, and after recuperating at home for two days, he plans to return to the official room today.

Guo Song then went downstairs, got on the carriage and went to the Daming Palace under the escort of hundreds of cavalry, Guo Song went to the Daming Palace, of course, he did not walk the street like ordinary people, he took the wall passage within the city wall, which can be said to be a special passage for the royal family, connecting the Daming Palace, the Jin Palace and even Qujiangchi outside the city.

Not long after, Guo Song came to the official room of Daming Palace, and as soon as he sat down, Pan Liao and Du You walked in, Pan Liao asked with concern: "Is Your Highness feeling better?" ”

Guo Song nodded, "It's almost recovered, a body like mine is not easy to feel sick, this is the first time I have felt sick in many years." ”

Du You also said with concern: "Your Highness, don't take it lightly, the more people who are not easy to get sick, once they fall ill, it will be a big deal." ”

"Thank you Du Xiangguo for your concern, I will be careful!"

Guo Song smiled again and asked, "Let's talk about business, what's the good news?" ”

Pan Liao smiled and said, "I just received a good news, can Your Highness guess where it is?" ”

Guo Song sighed and said: "If you want me to guess, I guess it should be Quanzhou!" ”

Du You gave a thumbs up and praised: "Your Highness guesses it!" ”

Pan Liao took out the urgent report sent by Kang Bao and presented it to Guo Song, "Please take a look at Your Highness!" ”

In the past two days, Guo Song felt sick, and Zhang Qiu'an, the secretary of the military department in charge of the military, went to Taiyuan again, and Guo Song temporarily asked Pan Liao to take over the war reports in various places for him.

Guo Song took the military newspaper and looked at it, the military newspaper said that Quanzhou had been taken, Yao Shun surrendered, the Jin army did not hurt a single soldier, Cai Yong had written a letter to ask the other four states to surrender, and the military newspaper finally recommended Cai Yong to temporarily serve as the assassin of Quanzhou, Zhang Lan as the temporary assassin of Zhangzhou, and Luo Xingwen as the temporary assassin of Tingzhou.

Guo Song nodded, and said to Pan Liao and Du You: "These three people are Yao Guangping's sons-in-law, and they are all local nobles, and their abilities are very good. ”

Pan Liao nodded, "Your Highness is very thoughtful, the local family is very important for us to stabilize the southeast, as Your Highness said before, our effective rule over the local area lies in the balance of interests between the court and the locality, Your Highness's use of the word 'balance' is very exquisite, this is also the consensus of the Political Affairs Hall, we unanimously support His Highness's appointment." ”

Guo Song smiled again: "I received a report from the Jin Wei Mansion a few days ago that Yao Shun in Quanzhou is bent on developing the big island on the other side of the strait, which is the big island that Emperor Yang of Sui sent Zhu Kuan to visit, in fact, I am also very interested. ”

Pan Liao and Du You glanced at each other, and Pan Liao asked cautiously, "Your Highness also wants to develop Liuqiu Island?" ”

Guo Song saw that both of them were a little nervous, so he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, I know in my heart, the development of that big island is not something that ordinary financial and human resources can do, I just want to build a county town and garrison troops on the island, so as to ensure that the big island is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court." ”

The two of them were relieved, there were too many places to develop, Lingnan, the Western Regions, Yunnan, and His Royal Highness was considering overseas again, so of course they were nervous.

"I heard that the Yao family also built a county seat on an island in the middle." Du You said with a smile.

Guo Song nodded, "That island is called Guilong Island, there are hundreds of garrisons on the island, and there are more than 1,000 families, and a Penghu County has been built, in fact, I was thinking about changing Guilong Island into a transit and supply place, moving the garrison and people to Liuqiu Island, and then turning Ryukyu Island into a place of exile." ”

"No!"

Du You hurriedly stopped, "Your Highness, once it is changed to a place of exile, after having a murderous name, the people will not want to go, it is better to change to a place without taxation, it will be attractive." ”

Pan Liao also said: "Du Xiangguo is right, many people yearn for the Peach Blossom Spring, not how far away it is? Sometimes everyone even hopes that the emperor is far away, and there is no official messenger to the door, so once the mentality is correct, it doesn't matter if the conditions are difficult, not to mention that the conditions are not bitter, most of the people are not demanding, as long as they can eat and clothe, have a house to live in, and have a field to cultivate, they will be satisfied. ”

"Alright! We will discuss the matter of Liuqiu Island slowly in the future, and then about the Danba Canal, Pan Xiangguo seems to say that there is something to discuss with me? ”

Guo Song took out a map from the bookcase, spread it on the table and said: "This is what I asked the Ministry of Industry to find from a huge number of old archives, it is the map of Danba Road drawn by Cui Xiang back then, this canal has a total of more than 50 miles, in fact, it was dug through at that time, but then there was an earthquake, a large number of boulders fell, re-blocking the passage, so that the Danba Road was destroyed, and the Shangzhou Thorn Shi had to ask the imperial court to give up the Danba Road and retake the Languan Road." ”

Pan Liao sighed and said: "Weichen hasn't seen this road with his own eyes, anyway, it's not far away, so I just went to Lantian County." ”

Guo Song smiled slightly: "Tomorrow, I plan to go in person, and everyone in the political affairs hall and the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Metropolitan Water Supervision will also go to have a look." ”
