"Second brother, you are also messing around with him," Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly. For this Guo Chengyi, Zhao Kuangyin is not so repulsive, due to Song Jiu's promotion, Mizhou City began to make money, but its geographical conditions are still not as good as Guangzhou and Hangzhou, Hangzhou is affected by the tides, not the first good port, but there are Mingxiu two states as a supplement, and Wu Yue's own developed economy as a support, behind is the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River, its geographical location is far more than Mizhou. Behind Guangzhou is the Dongxi River, and even from the Lingqu to Hunan, but it depends on how to govern, if Lingnan is regarded as a great southern wilderness like the Song Dynasty in history, it is not so prudent, it will sooner or later degrade from the first port of the Tang Dynasty. It is not as good as Quanzhou, the Jinjiang River in Quanzhou is not very big, and it is not as good as the water of Jiulong in Zhangzhou and the Minjiang River in Fuzhou, but it is the first shipbuilding base since the Tang Dynasty, and its mountains are many and the land is less, the people are crowded, many people dare to go to sea, and the commercial atmosphere is strong, which is also an advantage.

But it's starting to make a profit.

There are also those in Guangzhou.

It's not too much, and the total tax revenue of the two cities is only more than 500,000 yuan.

But it can't be said to be a small number, if it is turned into local taxes, it can at least exempt ordinary four or five state taxes, is all taxes, including two taxes, salt, wine, tea, and other miscellaneous taxes and commercial taxes!

Buildings are not built in a day, bricks and tiles are piled up, and beautiful houses can be built at the last time.

Some people died, not too many, it was impossible to think of not dying, just like a pit mine, some miners did not die that year? And with how many people were fed. The emergence of Guo Chengyi is tantamount to further improving the safety at sea, which is a good thing.

In addition, it proves that students are beginning to think independently. This is all the more of a good sign.

As for what immigrants are, Zhao Kuangyin has never considered it at all, there are only as many households in the country, more than two million households! There is a shortage of people everywhere. There is one thing, Zhao Kuangyi and Song Jiu don't know what to do, they fought miserably, and sent envoys to the court, to be honest, Zhao Kuangyin's focus is on the Southern Tang Dynasty and Khitan, so he doesn't want to send troops. So he was named the king of Jiaozhi County and the envoy of the Annan Festival. Just like the Han Dynasty did to Zhao Tuo. However, the envoy begged Zhao Kuangyin to return the people captured by Song Jiu to them.

Zhao Pu said, Your Majesty, you agree.

Zhao Kuangyin did not agree.

If the population is sufficient, it is impossible to say yes. Doesn't matter. Can a small cochin turn the sky upside down?

There is a shortage of people right now. And Lingnan began to take credit, paying taxes worth more than 300 yuan last year, and a little more this year. No one. That's the tax that comes! But this can't be said, so back to the old question, Your Majesty, are you important to people, or is money important? But once a war with the Khitan starts, it will be a vicious war, can it be done without sufficient money? In the same way, there are also some slaves who were transported back by various means, Zhao Kuangyin is not evil to a certain island country, there is no reason for evil, and he also knows that Lu Dao is so inhumane. But the whole country was driven by gunpowder, and the production of pit mines, including coal, was surging, and the mining work was dangerous, but this hard work had to be done by people. Why can't he let his people suffer? Therefore, only an edict was issued, regardless of the slaves or the people of the Central Plains, they should not be abused.

Now he can't wait for every family to raise ten children, can he still think of immigrating?

"Yes," Zhao Kuangyi smiled warmly.

The warm scene of brother and brother, but Song Jiu had a chill for no reason.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the instrument again and said, "Song Jiu, you measure, what latitude is the capital?" ”

"Your Majesty, this must be measured at noon, and now in the evening, the measurement time has been missed, but Guo Cheng has made many measurements before, between 34 and 37 degrees north latitude. The error is too large, and if it is accurate, it can be accurate to 0.01 degree. Therefore, it cannot yet be called a success. ”

Song Jiu is not very clear about the location of Kaifeng, but there are several references, one is that Chaozhou is about on the Tropic of Cancer, and the other is that Youzhou is about 40 degrees north latitude.

Song Jiu knows more than that, such as the surface area of the earth, the approximate total length of the meridian and the equator, and the approximate radius of the earth, but there is no need to say it, it is too demonic. Guo Chengyi does not need to be accurate to 0.01 degrees, as long as it can be accurate to 0.5 degrees, that is, the latitude is not half a degree, and the error is not higher than 100 kilometers, it is enough to be practical in this era. Needless to say, this is not to be said.

And if Song Jiu knew that if he understood, if he wanted to achieve his goal, the sextant he made did not need to be so complicated at all, a clock, a compass and a few other simple things were enough to achieve it. But I don't understand it, so I can only slowly explore it like other studies.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Function? ”

"The difference between the two is that it can barely be said to give a position to every position of the earth like a functional coordinate."

It's getting late. Song Jiu didn't see it as if he couldn't do it, so he couldn't talk about the matter, Zhao Kuangyin may not take Guo Chengyi to heart, but it is not Song Jiu's only one, there are more research projects in the academy, and it is only one of them.

So he spoke: "Your Majesty, you don't have any jokes, right?" ”

"Not necessarily, if I say the wrong thing, I can also take it back."

"This, this."

"The public is selfless, and the public cannot be abolished because of selfishness."

In just two sentences, the words that Song Jiu said to his lips were completely blocked, and Zhao Kuangyi was happy.

But in the end, Pan Weide was released, but there was a price to be paid for releasing people, exempting Liu Wei from all his gambling debts, and also fined Pan Weide 10,000 yuan as consolation money to compensate Liu Weide. It's not light, it's 10,000 yuan. It's not heavy, the Pan Weide brothers have been stained with Song Jiu's light, and they don't know how much money they have earned in the past few years, and even Pan Mei feels numb in the south. Pan Weide was not convinced, and Song Jiu persuaded him for a long time before he persuaded him to extinguish the fire.

However, this also made Song Jiu confused, he was right, the Song Dynasty wanted to recruit Li Yu, at least let Li Yu have a sense of security, then when he conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty, he would not be killed, but what could he do at this moment, Zhao Da killed Chai Zongxun.

Song Jiu would never think about things he couldn't think about.

He is making the most difficult preparations for Yuping's departure, and there is nothing to do in the Song Realm, and Guan Jian is in the territory of the other party. Song Jiu didn't know if there were scouts in the Khitan territory in the Ludao Imperial Court, but he thought that there were. It's just that the two countries are strictly checked on the border, there are, not much, and the role does not seem to be very large, otherwise that year to conquer Taiyuan, to the critical time, the Khitan has changed for so long, the imperial court has not received the news, and the most hasty retreat. And it is not like later, at this time, the Khitan and the Song Dynasty fought each other. It seems that the confidence is not very great either. Just like Zhao Kuangyin's army is under the city of Taiyuan. The Khitan came from the northeast and made a detour to the northwest, not daring to fight the Song army directly, and only watched from the wall. So he was a person. There is no force to set up scouts in the Khitan territory.

But Song Jiu also has a way. Leverage the relationship built by Shundian and other businesses with the Khitan merchant exchange. gave three Youzhou merchants a lot of money, not to let them be spies, but to let them make a raft from Yuping and get off the big boat and go ashore. Sent a family member to secretly escort him, and it was not a big problem when he arrived at Yu's house, but he didn't know much about this old man, not that his stepwife was terrible, but his stepwife also had a good one, and Yuping and Li'er had never disdained each other's children. But the stepwife of the Yu family is different, one is a woman from the local Wangmen Ma family, and the other is a person from an enemy country, which makes the situation even more complicated.

With these three merchants secretly watching, Song Jiu would be a little more relieved.

Yuping went home, got on the boat, and when their mission was over, they not only got Song Jiu's heavy money, but also got the friendship of the Song family, which was worth ten thousand gold as the business in Hezhou became bigger and bigger.

This is a side-by-side response.

Then there is the matter of the sea, the quality of the ship must be good, not to say that the Bohai Sea is an inland sea, there are also tides, strong winds and waves, and ocean currents, so not only the quality of the ship is good, but also familiar with the monsoon and ocean currents. But it is only the deep sea, to the shallow sea problems are also many, from the Yellow River to the Juma River, there are many rivers carrying the water of the Yellow River and the water of the Taihang Mountains into the Bohai Sea, not only the Yellow River, other waters also carry more sediment, some places near overseas are very shallow, after the boat comes, it will not stop directly to the edge of the land, not to mention that the Khitan people are afraid of seizing, it is estimated that most of them will not be able to get on, and even the small boat may not be able to moor to the shore smoothly. These are subject to investigation.

The last is the serving man.

Tiger poison does not eat children, and believes in Yuping's father Song Jiu, but Song Jiu is not very relieved about others. Cui'er was going, but Song Jiu and Yuping didn't agree, after all, she was married to Tsing Yi, had her own children, and her mother-in-law.

Therefore, I had to ask Xiao Su to accompany Yuping to Khitan.

He also hired the third son of the neighbor Zhu family, the fourth son of the Zhao family, and two clever children, to accompany Yuping to Khitan.

and a few other preparations.

Li Yu misses Li Congshan, and the banquet is stopped at the end of the year, but he thinks about it for it, thinks about it, and uses Changzhou to stab Shi Kuangfu, but now he avoids Zhao Kuangyin, changes it to Zhao Zhaofu, and comes to the capital to ask Li Congshan to return to the country.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't allow it.

Not only did he not agree, but he made a counter-plot, he knew that Lu Dao Zhaofu had a grudge against Zhang Xun in Jiangnan, first met in private, and then said in front of all the envoys: "The power holder of the country has a throat and a little Zhang Xun, why don't you join the envoy, you can make him come to the capital, I want to take a look." ”

If it's just one person, it doesn't matter, but there are others.

As long as Zhao Zhaofu goes back, and the others bring Zhao Kuangyin's words back, what will Zhang Xun think, and what will happen to him?

Let's look at Pan You's fate.

There is a sentence in the newspaper of the Song Dynasty, Pan You, a native of the Jiangnan Inner Shishe, said to the lord of the country: "The foundation of a rich country is in Hounongsang." "Because of the method of resuming the well field, the merger is deeply suppressed, and the land of the poor is bought, and it is ordered to return. According to the "Zhou Li", the cattle were made, so that the open land was planted with mulberry, and Li Ping was recommended to judge Sinong Temple. The lord of the country, Su Mu Guzhi, obeyed it. Ping is anxious to succeed, the implementation is not gradual, people do not think it is convenient, and the lord of the country also regrets it, so he stops.

What is the method of well fields is actually a method of redistributing cultivated land, dividing the fields of those who have many fields to those who have little land or those who have no land, reducing social contradictions, and then encouraging the breeding of cattle. In fact, some aspects are similar to Song Jiu's thoughts.

However, Pan You underestimated the power of the gainers.

Song Jiu didn't know one thing, that is, the impact of Pan You and Li Ping's unsuccessful reform on Wang Anshi's reform.

But Song Jiu saw the positive side in it.

It was an unsuccessful change that was stillborn before it was even implemented. Soon after, Li Ping and Pan You were framed to death by Zhang Xun.

Therefore, under the fear, he did not dare to return.

This person is the first-rate civil servant of the Southern Tang Dynasty, many times for the Southern Tang Dynasty to envoy the Zhou and Song, not arrogant or humble, and his official position, Changzhou is located between Wu Yue and the Southern Tang Dynasty, repeatedly exchanged troops, the city is desolate, Lu Zhaofu is the government is lenient and simple, recruiting the dead, and few are rich. Li Jing attaches great importance to this person, but Li Jing is Li Jing, Li Yu is Li Yu, and in the hands of Li Yu, he has not reused the Zhaofu, so he has been staying in Changzhou.

Because of Zhao Kuangyin's words, the Southern Tang Dynasty had one less capable minister, and a few months later, Yanzhou was sentenced to Yanzhou with Zhaofu, and his subordinates were all taught, and his mother was Mrs. Wu Guotai. However, after the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he was ashamed to be a Song official, missed his homeland, and resigned to return to Danyang. It doesn't matter if Zhao Kuangyin did this, that is Changzhou!

Changzhou is the primary gateway for the attack of the Wuyue East Route Army, and without the Zhaofu, it is equivalent to 50,000 less male soldiers! Let's look at Song Jiu, he doesn't know how to fight, how many soldiers and horses he may be, I don't know how many, in Guangnan is just a warrant, without any coercive means, the people spontaneously sacrificed all the ships, just with this article, how many soldiers and horses can he be?

Nantang is the sea, but the sea is not afraid, what is afraid of the big fish, Zhao Kuangyin did not do it, the big fish died one by one, and the sea water gradually became stagnant...... (To be continued......)
