Chapter 106: The Wanderers (Part II)
"Song Jiu, Han doesn't want to take credit, he has something to say!"
Song Jiu came to his senses, Han Chongyun's current situation is only eight words, he doesn't seek merit, but he seeks no fault, he really doesn't seek merit, what do you want to do, it hurts him. Of course, it doesn't work if there is. Whatever you say is a great achievement, it doesn't work. Song Jiu also has a way, Han Chongyun is not without shortcomings, and believing in Buddhism cannot be regarded as a shortcoming, but it can be used by himself.
Xu Xu said: "General Han, the speed of the construction site is gradually slowing down. ”
"What kind of construction site are you talking about at this time!"
"There is bad news about the floods everywhere, and I want to divide the weight. But flooding in the four states is not a bad thing. ”
"Nonsense, how many people are homeless."
People who believe in Buddhism are really different, Song Jiuwan smiled and said: "Don't mention this, I mean the soil quality, the Yellow River flooded, flooding a lot of farmland, but the flood receded, and the silt remained, one is the salinity that can wash away the land, and the other is that the soil in the Gyeonggi area is thin, and a large amount of silt is left, and the barren land will become fertile for thousands of miles in the second year." ”
"Let your house rush to see."
"That's the problem, the family property is washed away, the people are homeless, and they have to solve the problem of eating, drinking, and sheltering, and when the spring water recedes next year, I don't know what to do, and there is no seed to sow. But can you look at it from a different angle? If the government is organized, these people will be placed on the river island, and they will be turned into people's husbands. Now the two projects of the imperial court, my three projects, require a large number of manpower. The faster you go, the less waste you have. The victims themselves are also paid a large amount of wages. Even they themselves come from the countryside and are more able to endure hardships, including women, who can work. By next spring. With the help of these people, even my project can be completely finished. They had food, drink, and shelter. One family can bring ten yuan back, and they have the capital to sow seeds. With the capital to get by, with the capital to buy farm tools. And if there is siltation in the cultivated land, there will be a bumper harvest after autumn. Is it a win-win-win General Han believes in Buddhism, what is Buddha, promoting good and eliminating evil, this is the real act of accumulating virtue and doing good, not burning incense and worshiping Buddha. ”
Han Chongyun's heart was moved, and he walked around and asked his subordinates to serve tea.
Song Jiu took a sip. I didn't drink it much, the Song Dynasty drank tea cakes, semi-fermented in nature, and the taste was very close to the oolong tea of later generations. In fact, the best tea in the Song Dynasty also came from the Wuyi Mountain area of Jianzhou, Fujian. Song Jiu can drink this tea habitually, but some people like to put ginger and honey in it and put all kinds of spices, it is rumored that there are many benefits, and it is okay to put honey, if you put ginger and spices, Song Jiu really can't eat it. The Han family's tea seems to have ginger and spices in it.
Han Chongyun is kind-hearted. The gesture is to make good tea, and I have been with Song Jiu for a long time, and the affairs on the river island are complicated, and the affairs of Song Jiu are even more complicated. There are not only river islands, but also school houses, his own projects. and testing.
Han Chongyun was only in charge of two projects in the imperial court, if it weren't for the assistance of Song Jiu and the students. My head hurts, and Song Jiu has so much. It's actually very organized. Of course, he didn't know what the overall planning method was. This made him admire very much, the kid is a talent. However, he didn't know that he was so kind, and Song Jiu didn't appreciate it.
Han Chongyun didn't pay attention and asked, "Song Jiu, why don't you report to the court and let Han come to me?" ”
"There are two pieces of skin in the human mouth, going up is a saying, and going down is a saying. There is my and the Yanai's property on the river island, and most of the disaster victims, if they are resettled, will be working on those three projects. It was supposed to be a good deed, but if someone made a fuss, saying that I didn't care about the national disaster and the happiness of the victims, I hired the victims as my husband. When the time comes, no matter how white my whole body is, it will also be dyed black. General Han was different, although Ling Lang also invested more than 2,000 yuan in it, it was only a small number. Add to that your fame and influence, and there will be no controversy from your point of view. ”
Han Chongyun was noncommittal and said, "Song Jiu, how did you think of this?" ”
"In winter, let me lower my jaw and see if I can come up with a strategy for resettle the displaced people, where can I come up with it, I have been dizzy from turning over history books in the past few days."
"Makes you want to settle the homeless strategy?" Han Chongyun smiled, and after laughing, he said: "Wang Quanbin is here in Bashuhu, but you don't have to worry, Your Majesty will let you see it, you will go and take a look, ride a horse quickly, this is different from when you go to Jinghu, that is when you take the initiative to write to Pan Mei." This time it was Lu Yuqing's idea, but I can't think of it, what does it have to do with you? ”
"yes, it's still early in winter anyway."
Han Chongyun rolled in his heart, it seemed that he had to let his two children get closer to this kid. The emperor suppressed the old ministers and wanted to remove the influence of Sejong, so Daxun supported the newcomers, I am afraid that this kid in this group of lists will occupy an important position. He also took a sip of tea and said: "But the nature of these two kinds of homeless people is different, and if you want to take this opportunity to observe, you can't see anything." A few months later, when you go to Bashu, you can come up with it, if you can't think of it, you can go back quickly, don't learn to run around Jinghu, if you let the homeless people misunderstand, you won't even use a bow and arrow, and you don't know how to die when the time comes. ”
Song Jiu despised it in his heart, he could use a bow and arrow, what could he do?
These generals may think things from a different angle than ordinary people.
Han Chongyun is not a simple general, he can mix to the point where he is like this, his brain is easy to call, this kid is on the road, he values human favors, so he simply gave him a hand, and said: "Do you know the affairs of the two rivers (referring to Sichuan, Dongchuan and Xichuan, also called Bashu)?" ”
"Zhilu Dao, Your Majesty showed me some Di newspapers."
"Tell me about it."
Song Jiu told the newspaper he saw that day.
"What else?"
"And ......" Song Jiu thought about it, and then said some of the rumors he heard, "These are all rumors I have heard from the market, and they are not very reliable. ”
"It's not accurate, I'll tell you." Song Jiu thought in the dark, it was too dark, and it was not exactly what he thought, Zhao Kuangyin's edict must have been wrong, but after hearing it, he issued an edict in time to correct it, explaining four points, stabilizing order, giving preferential treatment to the people, tax exemption and disaster relief, disaster refers to the military disaster, appeasing the Houshu officials, all retaining them, pardoning bandits and thieves, and letting them return the bandits to the people.
But it was not executed well below. Wang Quanbin's North Route Army entered Yizhou, Meng Chang sent people to send money, wine and meat to comfort him, and Cao Bin and Liu Guangyi's East Route Army also came, with the same treatment. The Song envoy also came. Still the same reward. This problem came, and the Northern Route Army felt that it was a loss. The road is difficult to walk, and there are many wars. There are many dead people, and now they are treated the same, and their hearts are unbalanced. Liu Caodong Road Army doesn't think so, Shu Road is difficult to walk, but it is only far. I went from Tokyo to Jinghu to Gangneung, how much a circle, we can't be blamed if we don't fight, we also fought, and they surrendered before they could fight a big fight. When you come, you can still grab it in the name of war. We didn't even have a chance to grab it.
The two families began to compete for merit, and Cao Bin asked Wang Quanbin to return to the dynasty, can Wang Quanbin pay it back? Why should I pay it back, I haven't made enough money. The top was fighting, and they said that they wanted to return to the court, and the soldiers below were even more anxious, so they scrambled and grabbed everywhere, including Liu Guangyi and Cao Bin's subordinates. But they are comparatively better restrained and do less iniquity. Everyone was corrupt together, and Zhao Kuangyin asked Wang Jitao to escort Meng Chang into Beijing. Wang Jitao is also unhappy, and I haven't made enough money. But the emperor's order is hard to disobey. Speak directly to Meng Chang, you have to give me something, beautiful palace maid. Treasure. Meng Chang had no choice but to give, but Wang Jitao distributed the spoils unevenly. His subordinates ran to Wang Quanbin's place to make a small report, and Wang Quanbin did not let Wang Jitao escort him.
Hou Shu is too rich. Wang Quanbin was red-eyed, but there were also Qing officials in Houshu, Li Tinggui didn't have much money in his family, and he didn't give gifts, Wang Quanbin found an excuse to treat Li Tinggui's crimes, Li Tinggui was frightened and went to find Kang Yanze. Kang Yanze said, "If you want to satisfy your desires, you can't stop it." Li Tinggui understood, scraped together the only property in the family, bought a few women and some money, and gave them to Wang Quanbin, and he was really not punished.
Lu Yuqing arrived in Yizhou, killed a general, and Yizhou was suppressed, but it was only Yizhou. First, the Shu general Shangguan rebelled and besieged Zizhou City at night. There are only 300 soldiers in Zizhou City, and Feng Zhan, who is guarding the city, is quite strategic, and when he saw Shangguan Jin is night siege, he knew that he was weak-hearted, and he asked the people who beat the watch to play the fifth watch earlier. Shangguan Jin's men were attacking the city, and when they heard the sound of the five watches in the city, they scattered with a bang. Feng Zan attacked, captured Shangguan Jin and beheaded him, and the rebellion was quelled.
Wang Quanbin didn't see the crisis yet, and Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to send the troops from Liangchuan to the capital together. That is, to prevent chaos, arrange together to go to the vicinity of Gyeonggi, either for the people, or for the soldiers, when they arrive in Gyeonggi, they dare not make trouble, without these soldiers, the two rivers can quickly settle down. However, this is a surrender of more than 100,000 soldiers, Wang Quanbin is still greedy, and then Song Jiu saw what happened in the newspaper.
Not only the whole division of the male rebellion, the Song army itself was also in chaos, Song Jiu saw that Cao Bin in the newspaper defeated Lu Han, Lu Han was the commander of the Song army's Hujie army, because of the uneven distribution of spoils, in a fit of anger with more than a dozen Song army generals and subordinates, and the whole division of the army's general Liu Ze joined forces, the force reached 50,000 horses, occupied Jiazhou, and killed the imperial court assassin Shi Tong. Fortunately, Lu Han's military ability was not outstanding, and Cao Bin only had more than 10,000 people, but he was defeated by Cao Bin and fled to Yazhou.
Recently, Han Chongyun also got a piece of news that Kang Yanze performed well this time, Wang Quanbin borrowed a knife to kill people, and asked Kang Yanze to lead 100 people to Puzhou to serve as assassins, but there are 50,000 rebels in Puzhou, and it is unknown what the outcome will be.
That is, the whole Sichuan is now in chaos, the contradiction between the Eastern Route Army and the Northern Route Army, the contradiction within the Northern Route Army, the contradiction between the generals of the two armies, the contradiction between the commander and the soldiers, as well as the rebel army of the Song Army, and the rebel army of Shu itself. It's not just the homeless, if Song Jiu doesn't understand this situation and goes into confusion, he also doesn't know how Lu Dao will die.
And the chaos has reached this point, not only Lu Yuqing, but even Zhao Kuangyin doesn't know how to deal with Lu Dao.
"Lu Han is my general?"
"Colonel, military chief, can't be considered a general."
"How so?"
"Liangchuan has a lot of money, and they are all red-eyed. Song Jiu, don't spread these words I said, Your Majesty will let you see it, and you will go to see it, but you have to grasp the proportions clearly, or say a few words in front of you, and it will be a complete success. ”
"The ...... of the outcasts"
"The outcast! You're still thinking about the homeless! Don't bother thinking about it, you are just a seven-rank small loose official, and there are capable people in the court, what does it have to do with you? ”
"But ......"
"Why can't you turn a corner, you will be rewarded for your merits, and you will be punished for your mistakes, this is the rule set by Sejong. Do you know how much iron is this year? ”
"I really don't know what to do." Song Jiu said and asked Zhao Kuangyi, but Zhao Kuangyi did not answer, only said that it was good.
"I don't know what to say this month, from New Year's Day to July, the three divisions of iron is more than 3.9 million catties, otherwise do you think those officials in the imperial court let you use iron wantonly? This credit alone can afford your official position. Han Chongyun looked at Song Jiu's face after speaking, this number is a terrible number, and the more popular gunpowder is, the greater the amount of iron, and the number can increase by the end of the year, maybe this year's iron can reach seven million catties, an increase of more than three times!
But Song Jiu's expression was very calm, not to mention millions of catties of iron, even if it was 10 million catties of iron, it was only 5,000 tons! Count it this way...... (To be continued......)
