The worship ceremony is very grand, kill the pig and slaughter the sheep to sacrifice the sky, the chiefs of all sizes in the vicinity come together, after the sworn brothers, sing and dance, Song Jiu drank a little high, personally went down, danced with the barbarians, and sang with a barbarian girl.

This made a group of barbarians very happy, and they stood up together to toast Song Jiu, and poured Song Jiu down for a while. Qin Zaixiong happily asked Song Jiu to be helped into his tent to sleep, and also found two barbarian girls to sleep with him, Song Jiu was drunk that night, and nothing happened to him. When he got up the next day and saw two women sleeping next to him, Song Jiu got up like a ghost and ran away.

Then another incident happened, Qin Zaixiong blew for Song Jiuda, especially his arithmetic skills, there are many tribes in the north and south of the river, and their household registration is not under the control of the imperial court. But there are some masters who can settle accounts, and half of them are not convinced, and they want to compete with Song Jiu in arithmetic.

At the end of the day, these dozen or so people also looked like ghosts, and their faces were as white as earth.

Then Song Jiu stayed in Chenzhou and began to teach.

The three bigwigs said how difficult it was to teach, but Song Jiu was very good, and he directly began to teach and lecture at the core of the Chenzhou barbarians. The first batch of students were not young men, but those arithmetic masters who competed with Song Jiu, each holding chalk in their hands, and listened respectfully.

That's twenty days.

In the morning, he taught school, and in the afternoon, Qin Zaixiong or Qin Zaixiong's subordinates accompanied Song Jiu to inspect everywhere, and even rode to Nanjiang one day, only to turn back the next morning, and had dinner with Qin Zaixiong in the evening.

Ten days later, Qin Zaixiong suddenly sent someone to inform Wang Hu that I would build a academy under Zizhu Peak outside Chenzhou City, and the funds would be provided by me, but I would ask Wang Zhizhou to send a few scholars over to be gentlemen. Wang Hu, Ding Deyu, and Pan Mei stared at each other after hearing this. Then immediately agreed, the house was built, and the salary was paid, so of course he agreed, and then he selected people, not necessarily how good the knowledge was, but he must not be too disdainful of the barbarians. Mr. is being selected here in Tanzhou, and Song Jiu has also left Chenzhou. Before leaving, he threw away a handout of arithmetic, in fact, Song Jiu brought all the handouts of arithmetic, gewu, and accounting in the past few months before he came, and asked the students to copy them, and they copied two books in total. was going to leave them in Hunan, but a few bigwigs said such and such difficulties, and Song Jiu didn't say anything.

Now just right, I just dropped a handout, arithmetic.

Others may not know the concept of the Tao, but the dozen or so arithmetic masters held it in their hands and thought it was the Bible.

Looking at their expressions, they knew that this book was not simple, and the barbarian chieftains were satisfied again. I even thought in my heart, could it be that the officials in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty were so approachable? If so, it would be good to take refuge in the Song Dynasty. Think of it this way......

Qin Zaixiong sent it to each other, and sent it far away. When they parted, they also made an agreement that Song Jiu would definitely come to Chenzhou as a guest next time they had the opportunity to come to the south, and if Qin Zaixiong entered the capital, he would definitely visit Song Jiu, and the two would say goodbye. It is rumored that Song Jiu rode north, and Qin Zaixiong still stood there and watched for a long time, until Song Jiu disappeared on the horizon, and Qin Zaixiong returned to Chenzhou in a daze.

Song Jiu went north, stepped on the edge of the Kuixia barbarian, did not dare to go deeper, the barbarian part in the depths did not belong to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and went in to find death, and looked along the edge of the area. Then detour to Jiangling, Ezhou, Yuezhou, and step into the north of Tanzhou.

This line of Song Jiu almost went around the people, and also visited the county magistrates, just to understand it, and then left. So much so that Ding Deyu said: "This kid is really lazy? ”

In late February, Song Jiucai turned black and returned to Tanzhou.

Pan Mei said when she met: "Song Jiu, you have done a good job, you have courage and knowledge, and you deserve to be Song De's son." ”

With him becoming Qin Zaixiong's worship brother, the emperor made his trip worthwhile.

Song Jiu looked embarrassed and said: "Wang Zhizhou, General Ding, General Pan, here is the record of my party, please copy it from a few absolutely reliable officials, and I will bring the original file to the capital." Take a look, and I'll go down and rest for a while. ”

Then I took a stack of thick paper, that is, a diary, one a day, more than 3,000 words long, hundreds of words short, and wrote my thoughts on the record I saw on this day. When I arrived in the northern part of Tanzhou, I reorganized these thoughts and recorded them at the back of each diary.

There are more than 70 articles, nearly 180,000 words, and more than 50 sketches.

The three of them flipped through the diaries.

Maybe the emperor saw that it worked, but they didn't work very well, and more than ninety percent didn't need Song Jiu to write it, and they knew it. The important thing is Song Jiu's thoughts, the three of them first read them with a playful attitude, and then the three of them gradually became solemn.

Some ideas are still not very desirable, after all, Song Jiu has limited resources, and he doesn't know the inside story of many things, and he doesn't know all kinds of complicated interests. Some ideas are naïve and inevitable.

Some ideas are also very naïve, although he made changes after folding them in Tanzhou.

But some of them had to be cautious, no matter who they were.

Song Jiu fell asleep.

The three of them looked at these diaries with their lamps in their hands, and until they saw that in the past two watches, Pan Mei finally couldn't help it, and shouted to the guards outside the door: "Go and call Song Jiu." ”

Song Jiucai was wronged, and Ding Deyu was amazed by what he had done along the way, but it was indeed very hard. Song Jiu is in a mood of joy and sorrow, if you don't look at the people, it's not bad to see the scenery, you will be annoying when you come here in summer, there are many mosquitoes, the weather is hot, because there are not many places to develop, so it is extremely hot, and it is humid, it is very good at this time, the weather is not as cold as in the north, a coat is draped on the body, no matter where you go, it will not be too cold, unless you climb to the top of a high mountain. Because human beings have not destroyed it, there are pristine landscapes everywhere, but unfortunately there is no camera, otherwise take a random picture, it is a beautiful landscape painting.

However, I can't stand looking at people, it's so miserable that I don't even have clothes to wear in poor places.

This made Song Jiu not have much of a good mood, looked around, meditated at night, and began to keep a diary, recording all kinds of inspirations at that time. When I was about to return to Tanzhou, I made a reflection and correction. This is the first step for a business, market research.

Physical exertion, mental exhaustion, are all big bulls, and I have to make up for my clumsiness. In fact, I am also hard, I am also an eight-grade small loose official, I want to live a peaceful life, why is it that I have been working harder and harder this year?

Looking at it like this, it can't be called careful, but time can't be delayed any longer, and the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and he doesn't stay in Hunan. So it was over, and I handed over this diary to a few bigwigs. Whether it can be adopted or not, I believe these bigwigs know it.

Especially Wang Hu, he didn't know about the prince of Sanhuai, but when he came to Hunan, he could judge that this person was a good official, not a faint official. It's up to them to judge, let them record a copy again, and their mission is over.

I believe that I can explain to Zhao Kuangyin.

But this line was very bitter, and when he fell, he fell asleep, and when he slept soundly, he asked Pan Mei to send someone to wake him up. When he came to the room, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Uncle, what's the matter with calling my little nephew?" ”

Ding Deyu laughed again, this uncle didn't shout in vain, that has a lot of meaning.

Pan Mei didn't care about being angry and said, "You are so ambitious! ”

Wang Ding and the others nodded.

It is worth this evaluation.

"General Pan," Song Jiu changed his name again, saying that he was down to business, he couldn't call uncle, and King Ding and the others laughed again, Pan Mei didn't hesitate, so he didn't hear it, Song Jiu continued: "I recorded a sentence in it, Lao Tzu said that if you want to take it, you must give it first." Merchants and businessmen, if they want to make a profit, they must pay the principal, and the principal may not be profitable, but if they do not pay the principal, they will not make a profit. The same is true for the rule of barbarians, if you want them to naturalize, you must pay sincerely, be sincere, regard them as your own people, respect, equality, including all kinds of means and policies, must have these four words as the premise. If you pay it, you may not succeed, but if you don't pay this sincerity, you will never succeed. ”

At least Song Jiu succeeded, and Qin Zaixiong became his eldest brother.

"The same is true for governing the place, if I don't want to run here, I wantonly plunder, kill and poke, and if I want to run here, I can't have any killing, poaching and plundering. Because in the future, they will also be my people, even barbarians. After the people, they were the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the land was also the land of the Great Song Dynasty. His Majesty is ambitious, the country has been divided for a long time, and the people are too bitter, for example, there are only 90,000 households in 66 counties in Hunan. How many households were there in the Tang Dynasty? ”

This one has to be admitted.

The drastic decline in Hunan's population is precisely because the war has been fought too much, several regime changes, coupled with Li Jing's westward march and the Song Dynasty's conquest of Hunan, the means are not very good, resulting in a drastic decline in population. Relatively speaking, if Wu Yue is more peaceful, then the population is considerable. Jiangxi was not implicated in any war, and its population was equally impressive. Later Shu was not damaged by much war, and the Song Dynasty gained Shu, with more than 500,000 households, and used what was still obtained under the massacre, while the entire Song Dynasty was only 1.2 million households before it.

The number of households is small and the population is small, some people say that a household in the Song Dynasty is equivalent to 5.7 people, Song Jiu doesn't know where it came from, even if he sends people to census now, he can't count it. But in times of peace, in ancient times, there would be a large number of people in a household, often a dozen people in a household, but not at this time, there were only four or five people in a household. That is, the sixty-six counties of Hunan, including the Han households and Shuzi, only about 400,000 people.

Song Jiu also said: "All policies must be based on rest and recuperation, and quickly change from chaos to order. The generals and bureaucrats did a good job of this, but it was ultimately the land of the Song Dynasty, and the policy should also be coordinated with the policy of the entire Song Dynasty, and could not be separated from the Song Dynasty system. Therefore, policies must be matched with national policies. Just like I am going to develop the river island outside the East Water Gate, if you have fun, you must have some scenery and put it in the east with the help of the Hongqiao. Residential areas should be quiet and placed on the west side. The academy should also be quiet, close to the city, on the edge of a residential area, with a commercial area in between. However, the commercial area cannot be too quiet, there is a general commercial area opposite the tile, and the gymnasium is on the east side. This is the combination of the part and the whole. It can also be called the overall situation, which has nothing to do with ambition. ”

"What's the big picture for you!" Pan Mei drank heavily.

Song Jiu is not shocked and happy, beating is kissing, scolding is love, just like Zhao Kuangyi keeps scolding himself, but it doesn't seem to be too bad, does he have a play. Thinking of this, Song Jiu was full of energy and tired......
