"I'm afraid it won't work, the imperial court sent an envoy to ask your father-in-law about the amount of grain and rice."

"Some people can't reach out to Guangnan, I also expected that Wang Zhen went to Guangzhou to bring a letter, and the letter has already said, let my father-in-law not answer, only say how much can be made. I can't answer, time is tight, I don't know how much surplus food I can make, I don't know how much surplus food I can make, I don't know how many ships I have, I don't know how many ships are willing to come to the north. ”

"Haha, this old boy, one day the sky will be angry."

"Chu Si envoy, non also, just say that in my dynasty, the officials began to be redundant, and the soldiers gradually increased, and the phenomenon of redundancy also appeared, you are in charge of the three divisions, and you should compare the previous national tax and the current national tax amount. But there are several prerequisites, one is that the territory increases, the tax apportionment, from this year onwards, Guangnan can loosen the pressure for the imperial court, the second is that Wu Yue and the Southern Tang Dynasty paid some tribute, and the third is that the people have changed from chaos to rule, longing for this peace, the population is sparse, and the land is not so tight. Therefore, Zhao Xianggong's reputation among the people is still very good. Therefore, the founding of the country is more famous, but after another hundred years, the number of people will increase, the annexation will be serious, and the contradictions will intensify, so it will not be so easy to govern. Fang Du Yao Song was in the early Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, but at the end of Tianbao, it may not be a famous appearance. His Majesty is so diligent and loves the people, and the taxes are shared equally, Zhao Xianggong has not reached the fame of Fang Du Xiaocao, and indeed in some aspects, selfishness is too heavy, and his talent is lacking, of course, none of the four people in the power plot can match it! But in the hearts of the people, he does not ......"

Song Jiu's evaluation is biased.

Xiao He and other famous ministers will definitely throw Zhao Pu away for 108,000 miles, but he is not as useless as Song Jiu, at least in governing the country, Zhao Pu is definitely better than Chu Zhaofu, who can only drink tea and chat. also defeated Lu Duoxun, who was also powerful in power scheming.

Chu Zhaofu was very happy and said, "This evaluation is the most fair. ”

"When you go back, tell Your Majesty about these things. The three divisions still can't do it, and there is no support from His Majesty. Even when the grain arrived in Mizhou, it still could not be transported to the disaster area in time. His Majesty must issue a strict order, and from now on, we must prepare vehicles and boats, the navigation capacity of the Wuzhang River is limited, the boats are small, and more boats are needed, but fortunately, the disaster area is mostly in Jingdong. There are also hundreds of miles of land roads, some of which are mountain roads. In order to save costs and improve efficiency, we can still adopt the method of going to Taiyuan with my majesty that year, Banqiao to Gaomi station, Gaomi to Victoria, Victoria to Shouguang, Shouguang to Qiancheng station, Qiancheng to Boxing station. Board the boat from Boxing. ”

"yes, fast."

"The envoy of Chu is here, let me say one more thing, the Yellow River is unstoppable. But Bianshui has a strategy. ”

"Song Jiu, this is the responsibility of Zhongshu, I won't care about it."

"Wrong. This is a dereliction of duty on the part of the Chinese book, why not? ”

"Then you can talk about it."

"Come on. You look at the water of both. Song Jiu first turned on the earthen faucet of the toilet and released the water. Then he took Chu Zhaofu to the Biandi to look at the water, and said, "Why is the water in the toilet so clear?" ”

"Precipitated over ...... Song Jiu, you mean Bianshui ......"

"It is Bianshui, Bianshui has broken many rivers, the nature is the same as the Yellow River, one is a small amount of sediment precipitation, the other is the arrival of the Yellow River flood season, a large amount of river water rushes into Bianshui, Bianshui is not as wide as the Yellow River, so many rivers are broken. In fact, it is not difficult to govern, set up a weir at the confluence of the river, and then set up a steep gate for the boat and a steep gate for releasing water. As long as the river is allowed to calm for a while, the sediment will settle in the weir and the water will be poured into the water. Second, use stone embankments instead of earth embankments at some steep river embankments, and do not use stone embankments entirely, but use them for a small number of dangerous river sections, which the country can afford. The embankment in low-lying areas must be thickened to resist water pressure. The principle is not complicated, and the academy also teaches this knowledge. Then the water crisis will be cut in half. Moreover, in the future, the population is increasing, the cement technology is mature, and it is time to build the flybridge on a large scale, so that the number of ships in Bianshui will increase and the transportation speed will be strengthened. ”

"How big is this weir?"

"It doesn't need to be too big, if the river sand is gradually silted up, dig a diversion river again, dig a weir again, the original weir has a lot of Yellow River silt, set up a embankment is the best enclosed field, decades or hundreds of years later, the floating mud disappears, the alkaline sandy soil appears, and the river can be changed back, and the silt can be washed back again."

Song Jiu's strategy is not too clever, that is, part of his strategy in his previous life, there were similar cases in the Song Dynasty, and similar methods were used to govern Sanbaiqu, but it has not yet appeared, which is a novel and clever idea.

Chu Zhaofu rushed back and immediately went to the palace.

This grain weighed him down so much that he could barely breathe for half a year.

Say Song Jiu's thoughts one by one, plus some ideas he added by himself.

Zhao Kuangyin walked a few steps and asked, "Who taught you?" ”

"Your Majesty knows the way."

"If you had that kind of talent, it wouldn't have happened."

"The old minister is guilty."

"You are indeed guilty, if you live up to your merits for many years with me, I will abandon you last year."

"Yes, yes."

"Tell me, who taught you, I didn't expect that Sansi actually had such a talent, I want to meet him."

Chu Zhaofu couldn't figure out Zhao Kuangyin's attitude, so he didn't dare to say it.

"Don't say anything for you!"

"Yes, that old minister went to Song Jiu's house, asked how much grain Guangnan could muster, and talked to Song Jiu, Song Jiu said."

"Song Jiu, don't dare to say anything for you, I won't eat Song Jiu."

"Yes."

"It's too late to cure Bian, first solve the grain problem, and then think about Bianshui."

"Yes, what about the edict?"

"Tomorrow, I will ask Lu Duosun to draft an edict and issue it to the state capitals of Jingdong."

The idea was thought up by Song Jiu, and Zhao Kuangyin was not so happy, not because he was disgusted with Song Jiu, but because of talents, the country was eager for more talents, not a few talents. And Song Jiu had bad intentions...... But if I hadn't transferred you to Guangnan for a few years to develop water conservancy, do you understand? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head, angry and funny.

……

Song Jiu went to the steel prison at this time.

Over the years, a lot of fine-tuning has been made, mainly because of the poor strength and high temperature resistance of cement. Song Jiu didn't dare to give in too many steps. Song Jiu left the capital and went to Guangnan, and the fine-tuning almost stopped. Overall. It has not made much progress except for providing Song Jiu with some valuable research data. Or a freak of a combination of a modern blast furnace and a vertical blast furnace of the seventeenth century, with many flaws. The biggest defect is that the blast furnace is too large, and the wind power of the waterwheel blast is still very insufficient.

In Quang Nam, after the progress of refractory brick technology and the advent of refractory cement, the blast furnace was completely changed, which was completely a copy of the retro regenerative hot blast stove. The blast furnace is not high, but there are more additional auxiliary equipment. Including the top of the furnace became enclosed. But it's a leap forward.

However, it was a small blast furnace, and this was a large-scale blast furnace, so it was more complicated, so Song Jiu simply ordered the blast furnace to be extinguished. Anyway, it's about to be dismantled, and I'm not afraid that it will lie down. After the flameout, the entire blast furnace was extensively remodeled.

This process can take more than half a year, or even longer. At least after more than ten large-scale transformations, the quality of refractory bricks can be further improved before it can be finalized. These successive transformations, adjustments, and research and development will accumulate experience and technology for another kind of copper smelting furnace, a more complex reverberatory furnace.

In order to maintain the steel required by the country, small blast furnaces like those in Quang Nam can be promoted in areas where it is inconvenient to transport iron ore. The finished wrought iron is smelted and transported out and then processed into steel.

No one dares to object to this, everyone knows how important steel is. This will be the molding test, once the test is successful, it can be promoted to the whole country. Then the entire history of iron smelting will be completely changed.

But Song Jiuyi did not go to court. Second, don't be serious, and third, don't teach. There are more and more helpers, and the small life is also free.

It's the food that gives him a headache.

Don't worry about not being able to hire labor. At least in this spring, you can think of as many laborers as you want, and when I heard that Hezhou hired a large number of laborers, people fleeing famine and famine from all directions flocked together. The scale of this construction is large, but no matter how big it is, it will not need so many people. And how much food do tens of thousands of people have to eat every day? Song Jiu was also sending people to buy expensive grain and rice as high as nearly 100 yuan a bucket, plus there were too many people, but they were crowded together, the efficiency was not high, and the waste was extremely serious.

Came home late that day.

A distinguished guest came to the house, and a little young woman sat in the house, and two eunuchs stood respectfully by the side. Song Jiu knew the identity of this little young woman as soon as he saw it, but he didn't know that she was the princess, and the eunuch shouted: "I haven't seen Her Royal Highness the princess yet." ”

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Princess Song Jiu is not valuable, but she has to show respect in etiquette. The little princess is not too beautiful, but she is not too ugly, her genes are slowly being transformed, and the princess will become more and more beautiful in the future. Therefore, in the annals of history, several emperors of the Song Dynasty went back and each one was more beautiful than the other. Since the time of Renzong, he has gradually become a beautiful man.

The little princess is not very old, fourteen or fifteen years old, no matter what, she can get married at the age of thirteen.

I didn't know that Lu Dao was the princess.

The little princess rubbed her nose, looked at Song Jiu, and asked, "You are that Song Jiu." ”

"yes."

"It's not too pretty."

Song Jiudi, no matter how good-looking it is, it looks better than your old man.

"Let me ask you, why do you criticize Hebei, saying that Hebei Yanei is not good, isn't the horse bad?"

This time, Zhao Kuangyin's youngest daughter, Princess Yongqing, is the one who married Wei Renpu's son Wei Xianxin. But she really made trouble, Song Jiu really couldn't help it. However, a little fart child is also easy to deal with, so he hugged Song Yu from Yuping's hand and said, "Your Highness, will I harm him?" ”

"He's your eldest son, why do you want to harm him?"

"That is, will Your Majesty harm you?"

"What does my father want to harm me?"

"I can't say the reason, but Your Majesty will tell you, you ask Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will be able to answer it for you."

"This little thing, why do I have to ask my father."

"How big is the river island, is it big in the world?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, how big can the river island be? I rode from east to west in the blink of an eye, but I came back from Lingnan and rode for nearly a month, and I didn't stop on the road. Only the unproductive put their eyes on this little place. ”

"Then what are you fighting about?"

"The reason why I fight is that it can feed a lot of people, and it can't be disordered, and I need money, but this money is not earned for me, but it is urgently needed, so I can't let it go. Your Highness, are you short of money in your hands? ”

"There is no shortage."

"Why fight for a while, if you want to keep more money for future generations, you have asked Your Majesty, I will teach you a good way, and if I am not mistaken, I sent a good thing to Your Majesty, he still has it in his hand, hurry up and ask your father for it."

"What's that?"

"Good things, good things, the secret of heaven must not be leaked."

The little princess went back curiously, the main thing is small, and Zhao Kuangyin is a human being, and the children who have been taught should not be evil, and Song Jiu also heard about one thing. This princess once wore a green feather short jacket into the palace, Zhao Kuangyin said to her, you should give me this dress, don't use it as an ornament in the future? The little princess said unconvinced, it's just a few green feathers, how much is it worth? Zhao Kuangyin said, otherwise, you are my daughter, obey this, the palace and relatives will follow suit, the price of green feathers in the capital is high, the small people are profit-seeking, tossing and turning, and the life is wide. That's your fault. You grew up in a rich family, you should cherish your blessings, how can you create this bad karma?

It shows that Zhao Kuangyin still believes in Buddhism.

It also shows that Zhao Kuangyin lived a simple life, and Queen Song persuaded him to use gold as a shoulder, and he also said, I am rich from all over the world, and all the palaces can be decorated with gold and silver, but I can use it in vain for the world? The ancients said that one person should rule the world, and one person cannot be supported by the world. If I have the intention of being supported by the world, why should the people of the world admire me?

Therefore, Song Jiu was easily sent away.

Apple breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Jiu smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, the princess is not evil, so the ancients said, people are good and are bullied, horses are good and ridden, and the princess is not evil, so you don't need to be afraid of her." (To be continued......)
