After a while, Zheng Lang stood up and shook his head. 1——

Sun Wei and Yu Jing asked: "Xingzhi, what do you see?" ”

"I'm a kind of grass ......" Zheng Lang didn't speak, and suddenly said, "Let's go back." ”

Sun Wei and Yu Jing looked at the clump of grass and followed suspiciously.

Zheng Lang returned to the state and immediately wrote a letter to Wei Qiang, the governor of Guangzhou, taking advantage of the fact that before the southeast wind officially came up, there was still a big food boat going south in Guangzhou Port, and asked them to find something for themselves. This thing was the inspiration for Zheng Lang when he saw those little grasses on the side of the road.

At first, he thought that the grass was pyrethrum, which made him ecstatic. But when I walked over and looked closely, it wasn't. But it didn't matter, it inspired him to think of something else, mosquito coils. If the South wants people not to be afraid, it has to get rid of any miasma. It takes some time to treat the miasma area, and then there is malaria, which is the main thing. If you want to treat malaria, one is to treat, the other is to prevent, the best treatment is artemisinin, artemisinin comes from Artemisia annua, but how to use the existing conditions of the Song Dynasty to turn artemisia annua into artemisinin, Zheng Lang does not know. So only one thing was announced, knowing that the line from Wuling to Chongqing was the most effective, and a large number of Artemisia annua was purchased here to treat malaria that might be produced in the army.

The second is to stay away from mosquitoes, mosquito net method, and some local methods to avoid, the common method in the Song Dynasty is to collect duckweed in the Dragon Boat Festival, add realgar, and make paper to wrap incense to get rid of mosquitoes. There are also people who use rosin powder, mugwort powder, tobacco leaf powder, a small amount of arsenic and sulfur as ingredients to smoke mosquitoes, and some places use green mugwort mosquitoes, but they can't do it. Bones such as eels and turtles are used as medicine, and the paper is wrapped in three or four feet long, and it is smoked at night. A wide variety of methods.

It doesn't work much, and the best way is the old way, a mosquito net.

See those weeds that resemble pyrethrum. Zheng Lang only thought that pyrethrum is a plant that does not seem to exist in China for the time being, but it is mostly found in West Asia and the Mediterranean Sea and the East China Sea. Its efficacy is not yet recognized.

As long as you get it, as for the mosquito coil from scratch, it has taken a long time, but for Zheng Lang, it is not troublesome. Add sawdust powder, starch, nanshu powder, and a certain proportion of pyrethrum flower and leaf powder. You can make a beautiful plate of incense.

Once mosquito coils officially appear, they will play an irreplaceable role in the development of the south.

In order to stimulate his enthusiasm, Zheng Lang also personally wrote a letter promising that if he could find a large number of seeds of this plant, the first to arrive would give a heavy reward of 5,000 yuan. Others are also bought for a large amount of money.

Carefully drew a few pictures. I also made an explanation of it in words, for fear of making a mistake.

The letter was quickly sent to Guangzhou, and Zheng Lang sat down in contemplation. Because the gap between the two civilizations is too great, there are things he knows, but he doesn't know how to conjure them up. But is there anything like mosquito coils that have such practical value? Something that is not strict with technical requirements? Zheng Lang sat down and thought about it carefully, but he stuffed too many things in his mind, and he couldn't think of it for a while.

So he took the map information handed over by officials from various places and supplemented it on a large map. This was an order he gave after coming to Guizhou, and sent the topographic maps of each state capital and the location of the miasma distribution as well as various relevant information. But it is still imperfect, many areas are blank, and it is not known how much of the information provided by these officials is correct.

Spreading out the big map and staring at the map, Zheng Lang was a little stunned.

The map was oversized and filled a table, and it was a topographic map of all regions southwest of the Song Dynasty, including western Sichuan.

Looking at the map, all kinds of information were churning in Zheng Lang's mind. Mainly barbarians, if divided into large regions, from Sichuan to the coast is divided into seven large regions. The first part is the barbarians in the south of Chengdu, Qiongbu Man, Lianglin Man, Fengpi Man, Baosai Man, Wumeng Man, etc., there are those who take refuge in the Song Dynasty, there are those who take refuge in Dali, and there are also those who take refuge on both sides at the same time, or the things are uncertain, the main product is kapok products, white felt, and cattle, horses and sheep, although the good and fine horses are Sichuan horses, because of their docile character, they are named the royal horses. Since the popularization of cotton, the demand for kapok has declined, and the number of horses in the market has been controlled, so the imperial court adopted Zheng Lang's method and replaced rewards with kinds. But there are still many contradictions. …,

The second part is Weizhou Maozhou Man, in fact, most of them are Han and Tibetan, and there are other ethnic groups, but God knows where it became later? This part of the barbarians is fierce, but there is no unified and powerful Tibetan support behind it, coupled with the Song Dynasty's horse trade, tributary trade, and Fan-Han trade, etc., it has become the quietest one.

The third part is the barbarians between Luzhou and Rongzhou, this part of the people are quickly civilized, mostly use cattle to plow, and every household has grain storage, but because of the Yanjing dispute, although the imperial court used various pension policies, it did not work, and it has been rebelling. It is not easy to solve, if the salt well is released, the actual salt is not valuable, and the price is inflated after the salt monopoly of the Song Dynasty. Give the salt well to these barbarians, and the entire Sichuan salt government will be corrupted. If the imperial court controlled it, the local tyrants believed that these salt wells belonged to theirs, not to the Song Dynasty, and they never accepted it, which led to endless wars.

This part can be placed later, and the key is the next four major parts.

The first part is the Li people of the Leizhou Peninsula and Hainan, not all of whom are Li people, and later on, there are other ethnic groups. The surname is only Wang Fu Zhang Li Shu surname, the same family and surname into the family system, the land is more primitive commune public ownership, there are also private maids, private property, the famous is the textile technology of the Li women, the pattern is exquisite and even the major famous brand products in the Central Plains are inferior. There are also silver wine, betel nut, famous incense, coconut, pony, green feather, yellow wax, sumac, jibei and other products in the Central Plains, but unfortunately they are occluded and cannot be quantified. It was only the seaside areas where some Han people came to cultivate, and the Song Dynasty managed these seaside Han areas, attached to some familiar barbarians near the county towns of various prefectures, and the Song Dynasty almost didn't care about the places far from the city.

This is the Song Dynasty's fetters system, Song Zhenzong once expressed this, I once warned the border ministers not to harass the foreigners, if they kill each other, but use the local system to solve it, do not use the national law to bring them to justice, otherwise there will be trouble, the way of fetters is here.

Therefore, many areas have gone against the trend and are falling behind more and more. Zheng Lang had to wait for Nong Zhigao to make a big deal out of it. before proposing to operate in the South.

This is a counter-trend, thankless policy of backward nationalities.

The second part is the more widespread barbarians, whose habits are slavery. The children born of slaves are still slaves, women work, and woodcuts are harvested. It is mostly the responsibility of women to take advantage of the market, while men are responsible for feeding and cooking, and sitting in the thatched house. Therefore, men are often not as strong as women, including Nong Zhigao, there are many female soldiers in the rebels, and they are extremely fierce in battle. Specialties include fine cotton, brocade and porcelain. But agriculture is the same as that of the Lêman. It is very backward, the wise only use the foot plow, and the backward slash and burn. After planting, drought does not know watering and irrigation, waterlogging does not know dredging and stagnant water, and does not know how to dung soil, and does not seek good seeds. One is in the sky.

Seeing this backward situation, many officials did not want to do much and never bothered, including Su Dongpo, who was exiled to Lingnan, and only taught a few children to read and write.

The third part is the brutality of Jinghu South Road. Property-heavy marriages are often fought for revenge, and production is also extremely backward. However, because of the proximity to the Central Plains, the Song Dynasty was also relatively strict with the governance here, and many barbarians converted into familiar barbarians, but the intentions of the above were good, and many times the local officials were strictly ordered to use all kinds of disguised means to harsh the people, but when the officials below implemented it, it was different, resulting in a large number of contradictions. Besides, there is a Meishan man behind him, which has become a big problem for the imperial court.

The fourth part is the She Man at the junction of Jiangnan Road, Fujian Road and Guangnan Road, which is also very backward, and some of the She Department is also sincere to the Song Dynasty, but because the officials did not do well below, countless disputes have arisen one after another. The main product is she's rice, a kind of red stem with a delicious taste, but the yield is very low.

The reason for this is not only the reason for the policy of the imperial court, but also the factors of the barbarians themselves, and there is also an important reason, the national problem. …,

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Han scholar group had a fear and rejection of the Hu people and barbarians, and the Han ideology was on the rise, so a wealthy merchant in the Song Dynasty was often possible to marry a princess, but the prince of any country did not want to marry the county lord of the Song Dynasty. Unless forcibly captured. Therefore, there is a subconscious of rejection and isolation of the barbarians, and they do not want to integrate.

All in all, a lot of headaches.

And he doesn't have much time, Nong Zhigao rebelled, the court spent a lot of money to pacify, no one objected, and Nong Zhigao couldn't be tossed up, but if the rebellion was suppressed, he continued to throw a lot of money into this area every year, and after a long time, there will definitely be discussions. I have to let everyone see some results within a year or two before I can block the mouth of Yanchen, but the actual situation is very complicated.

While he was thinking, Yu Jing took a person to the yatang.

Zheng Lang raised his head and looked at this person.

Yu Jing said: "You are Xiao Zhu Xiao Yanfu, who led more than 2,000 brave soldiers to burn Nong Zhigao's warship during the siege of Guangzhou. ”

"I've seen Zheng Xianggong."

"Xiao Concierge, don't be polite, sit." Zheng Lang said.

Yu Jing said sarcastically: "Xingzhi, Yongzhou Song clone is immoral, I don't know who Xingzhi is for?" ”

Zheng Lang understood, Xiao Zhu was originally the commander of Panyu County, and he was very brave when Guangzhou was besieged, and was promoted to deputy envoy of protocol. Later, Yu Jing used the appeasement policy to buy off Huang Shouling and other big chiefs with money, and then used this person to go to the barbarian account to persuade him. Di Qing was very annoyed by this matter, and after killing Chen Shu, he summoned Xiao Zhu under the tent, and most likely wanted to continue to punish him. When Xiao Zhu heard that Chen Shu and others were dead, he didn't dare to come, so he continued to stay in the field for the sake of lobbying. Yu Jing saw that he invited Huang Shouling to sit down for a discussion, and Di Qing went to Temo Dao again, so he called this person back to Yongzhou, replaced Song Clone as the new Yongzhou Zhizhou, and made the matter a foregone conclusion, then Di Qing would be helpless.

continued to look at Xiao Zhu and asked, "Xiao Concierge, why did I let Di Qing go to Temo Village?" ”

"General Di's soldiers are like gods."

"Wrong, although Temo Village is difficult to attack, it is not Nong Zhigao and the like, Di Qing went as a privy deputy envoy, but it was overkill. The reason why Di Qing was allowed to go to Temo Village was that after he pacified Yongzhou, he freed thousands of innocent villagers who were coerced to go home. I said a sentence before Di Qing left, a total of eight characters, benevolence in the heart, like a thunderbolt! Although the governor of Yongzhou is vacant, it is still incomplete after the rebellion of the thieves, and there are more than 30 detention states, after Wang Yaochen's admonition, he assisted in the management of Qin, Bin, Lian, Heng, Xun, and Gui six states, the stakes are very high, and it must be both grace and power, grace is the law, Wei Naidu, grace is benevolence, and authority and righteousness, can you master this degree properly? ”

It's not that Zheng Lang intends to embarrass Yu Jing and Xiao Zhu, but that Xiao Zhu can't sit in the south. First, Yu Jing brought him and Wang Cheng and others to destroy the Temo Village, and finally replaced Yang Yuanqing, Chen Chong, and Yang Wenguang generals to get the merit. But the imperial court still didn't blame, and used Xiao Zhu to replace Yu Jing as the governor of Yongzhou for several years, and he was incompetent.

Yu Jing was a little unhappy.

Zheng Lang continued: "Brother An Dao. I don't know that Di Qing and I will be in the south for five or six years. Not only the operation of Liangguang, it is possible to have two lakes and Kuizi. ”

You are not afraid of Di Qing's trouble with Xiao Zhu, although it is recommended. But there is another layer of meaning, except for Liangguang, Lianghu and Kuizi Road, other official positions, let you use the door to recommend Xiao Zhu to serve as an official, and I will not get in the way.

But it made Zheng Lang think of someone.

There are people in the DPRK who are good officials, and there is no one in the DPRK who is not very good at being officials. Nong Zhigao's only bright spot at the beginning of the rebellion, Su Mian, was demoted to Fangzhou Sima because of Jinchengyi's mistakes afterwards. Yu Jing was meritorious, Chen Shu and others were beheaded, and the court wanted to cover up for Yu Jing, so Su Mian and others became substitutes for the dead.

In fact, at this time, Yongzhou really wants to send a good official to come, and it is better to govern than before. The various mountains that should be dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty have long been involved in the anti-Song army, and the rest are even waiting and seeing. There will be no ill will towards the Song Dynasty. All that is needed is a good policy, a good parental officer. …,

rejected Yu Jing, and then recommended Su Xuan.

has nothing to do with the same year, it is true that Su Mian is a relatively accomplished official.

As the imperial court promoted or belittled the generals, the most important was Song Clone. Removed from the list, the cane spine thorn with Salmon Island. Xitong inspected Liu Zhuang in the city of Tongxiu, removed his name, and stabbed the spine with Fujian Prison City. Pennsylvania magistrate Quan Tong sentenced Wang Fang and Lingshan County chief bookkeeper Yang Deyan, and removed his name, exempted from stabbing with a cane in Hunan City, and never hired. Under the edict, Zhao Zhen regretted that the punishment was too heavy, and sent an envoy to chase him, but it rained heavily and hail, and he couldn't catch up, and Zhao Zhen continued to make a soft mistake.

Later, he returned to Sun Wei, Yu Jing knew Guizhou, and used Tian Yu as the pacification envoy of the volume of the East Guangnan Road, and Zhou Xin as the pacification envoy of the volume of the West Road, sharing Zheng Lang's affairs and cooperating with Zheng Lang to govern the two Guangzhou. In fact, I don't know whose proposal it is, I can say that I cooperated, and I could also say that I would share part of the rights, but Zheng Lang was very happy when he heard it. Tian Yu has served as an official in the south many times, understands military and political affairs, and is good at managing water, simplifying government and few cultures, and is praised by the people everywhere he passes. Zhou Xin also has rich experience in local governance and has made great achievements in politics. When the two come to the south, they will be good assistants. Liangguang is too short of good officials. But now that he has Di Qing and other generals in his hands, as well as Zhou Xin, Tian Yu, and the transfer envoys Yuan Qian and Sun Kang, as well as Zhu Shoulong, Bao Ke and other ministers, Zheng Lang feels a little flattered.

Zhou Xin and Tian Yu did not come, and Su Mian served as the governor of Yongzhou in advance, which was for the sake of Zheng Lang's recommendation, otherwise it would have been a little too much. Zheng Lang returned to Guizhou, and the February semi-conference began.

There were many lords and village owners.

But at least half of them did not come, most of them were in the mountains, and the officials did not dare to go forward to inform them, and some people were afraid, and a few people were contemptuous.

Zheng Lang was not angry, he had been isolated for a long time, and each had its own difficulties. To have so many major owners and village owners come has made Zheng Lang very happy.

On the bank of the Li River, a place was split in the open air, some prey from the mountains was prepared, and the river fish in the river were barbecued, and a jar of fine wine was distributed, still mainly to appease. Zheng Lang said the right thing, stood up, and bowed his hand to the Quartet, these chiefs also stood and saluted in return, after all, unlike the officials who came to the south before, Zheng Lang was the most authentic prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Lang waved his hand to let everyone sit down and speak slowly, and there were some people who didn't understand the official language of the Song Dynasty, so they had to let their subordinates and friends translate, and said slowly: "Everyone, a certain general gathered you to say a few things. The first thing is to run a school, Lingnan is far away from Beijing, there are many talented children who have learned, but still because of the distance problem is not allowed to enter the Beijing imperial examination, so some time ago I marched to His Majesty, set up a pacification division in Guangzhou to preside over the imperial examination similar to the provincial examination in the imperial examination year, and selected about 40 of its qualified people, and sent them directly to the capital to participate in the palace examination. ”

Some of the chiefs did not understand the meaning of this and did not say a word, but many more were bursting into discussion.

This method is modeled on the system of the Southern Song Dynasty, Sichuan is too far away from Hangzhou, and a department is set up in Chengdu to preside over the provincial examination, and those who pass are directly sent to Hangzhou to participate in the palace examination. The number of places is not high, it may only account for one-tenth of the provincial examination admission quota, but the entire Liangguang economy is backward, and the education is even more backward.

In fact, the meaning of this system is connection.

The two Guangxi employ people, one is the official who is punished, the second is the official who was born in the south, and the third is the local, since the local people are used, why not use the "protégé of the Son of Heaven"? The south and the Central Plains are tightly embraced. If it can be realized, many children of Liangguang will have the opportunity to go out of the way. But before the next sentence was shocking, Zheng Lang pressed his hand, asked everyone to stop talking, and continued: "In addition, a certain will set up a college in Guizhou, recruit Confucians from the Central Plains, and teach Lingnan children to study, and a certain will also have time to come here to teach your children." ”

The protégé of the Son of Heaven is too far away, but the protégé of the prime minister is right in front of him.

Everyone understood, and one by one stood up and danced. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
