Chapter Seventy-Four: The South (Part II)
Towards the end of the evening, Song Jiu did not let the Yanai go up, but let several sisters' family members, including Yuping's master and servant, get on the balloon, go up to take a look, not jump down. Then it ended, and there were still many people in the yamen who had not yet been served, but Song Jiu used the slogan that the imperial court wanted to keep the skills secret, and in front of everyone, he dismantled the balloon and took away the bellows.
That's real hunger marketing.
From the general trend, Song Jiu is bringing the Song Dynasty to a fork in the road, how much money Song Jiu can make, the court may not really care, after Cao Bin pacified Jiangnan, Zhao Kuangyin rewarded 200,000 yuan in one go. At this time, Confucianism was not really the first in the world, and what the court cared about was the real technique, similar to the technique of steel. Song Jiu himself only cares about money. This fork in the road appeared, but no one thought about it.
Someone started sending money.
Song Jiu has Song Jiu's thoughts, and his thoughts are not clear when he bets, but he has a vague feeling that he doesn't have this strength, and he has nothing to do in these yamen, if he is a family or two, he is really not at ease, there are many families, and his heart will not be aligned, but it is easy to control. Borrow their momentum, borrow their money, and actually dream of making money in your heart. But you can't blame Song Jiu, if Zhao Kuangyin immediately awarded Song Jiu the title of official and errand, why bother to make this money?
I can't be a big official, I just want to be a rich man.
Different levels, different ideas.
As his influence increased, he was able to do some things, such as teaching by the river, one is to select talents for himself in the future, and the other is to benefit the river. If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, but it's best not to hurt others for yourself, this is Song Jiu's idea.
However, the money sent was not much, the two Gaoshi disappointed him, and the next one disappointed him even more, more than a few thousand, only a few, most of them took, only a few hundred, the yamen believed, heartbeat, their parents may not believe it, or the nature of playing tickets. The least is Zhang Qiong's son Zhang Lin, who only took out a hundred yuan, and he was very embarrassed to know that he had little money. Song Jiu is not Song Jiu more than half a year ago, and he knows some things. There are three generals' income, salary, this is not much, the emperor's reward, it is not much, and there is an unexpected income, captivity, after the siege of the city and the land, each city has wealth, the soldier has a small head, the general has a big head, and a part of it is handed over to the court, but some generals love to nurse the soldiers, in addition to handing over part of the income to the court, the rest of the whole is distributed to the soldiers and subordinates, if the emperor has no reward, the family life may not be good.
Zhang Qiong's family is about the same.
Song Jiu came to the Song Dynasty and heard some stories, especially Zhang Qiong scraped the bones to heal the wounds, Guan Yunchang is really not clear whether he scraped the bones to heal the wounds, but this Zhang Qiong is real, in the battle of Shouchun, he took an arrow for Zhao Kuangyin, which went deep into the leg bone, and the doctor scraped the bones and pulled the arrow, it was really painful, but Zhang Qiong drank a bowl of wine and didn't scream.
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin considered that the forbidden soldiers were all tigers and wolves, and it was difficult for ordinary people to control, so he let Zhang Qiong take control, this order was quite normal, he was a hero from the dragon, and Zhao Kuangyin's savior, he couldn't serve anyone. Zhang Qiong also lived up to her expectations, but she didn't know what kind of family was living a relatively hard life for Lu Dao, and some people in the Zhuya were very cold to Zhang Lin. Could it be that there is another contradiction at the top?
In fact, I can't think about it, when I think about it, Song Jiu will be disappointed in Zhao Kuangyin.
Even Zhang Qiong doesn't trust it, Zhao Kuangyin will have no wings, and if he looks at Zhao Kuangyi again, even if he is scared and rewarded for himself, but this is a means to win people over. If this continues, Zhao Kuangyin will not make the prince the prince, and without the axe, he may not be able to kill his younger brother.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't reward the life-saving benefactor, but Song Jiu came to reward him, because he admired the heroes, so he quietly said to Zhang Lin: "Zhang Dalang, don't tell others, I will pay 600 yuan for you." β
"This ......"
"Don't do this, you will pay me back later."
The money gathered more and more, and the river construction over there began, and it was late to start construction, although the river was shallow, but the weather was very cold. However, Zhao Kuangyi also had to cooperate, Song Jiu had to "cheat" the money in his hands before he could start construction.
There were a lot of people who participated, but they didn't get much money, only more than 70,000 yuan. In Song Jiu's thoughts, the imperial court promised to fund the construction of a wharf and a Hongqiao, and build a main store and a playground by himself, and the four buildings were just connected together. Even if there are no other buildings, just these four buildings can bring popularity. With popularity, you can make money, and you have capital to invest in the next project, and at the same time you can attract more capital injection. This amount of money is certainly not enough.
It's not enough to even build a store.
The first is the earthwork, Kaifeng Prefecture organized the soldiers and the people to dredging, their own requirements are not excessive, Bianshui is becoming more and more important, there is no such thing as their own, Bianshui also has to be dredged, but the people get the silt on the bank of the river, will not help themselves level. If you want not to be waterlogged in the future and not be threatened by flooding, you have to increase the height by at least two or three meters. The silt is enough, but it is not enough, and the grooves of the six piers must be excavated, which can bring out a lot of earth. However, I have to ask someone to level it out.
There is also labor, and there are coolies in the river, but they have to pay the wages and friendship wages, and so many earthworks cannot be leveled without several months, and this cost is also 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. Also, sewage works.
The sewage project in the capital is very bad. One is domestic wastewater, which is poured into the sewer, and the other is the garbage of life, which is pulled out of the city by a special person. There was also excrement, which was poured into the toilet in a commode, and every morning the nearby peasants would enter the city or send someone to pull it out of the city.
But there is a serious problem, if the water rises, even more than the height of the houses, the sky is pouring rain, the embankment will not collapse, the sewer also has a gate, but the sewer waste water and rainwater can not be discharged, so there will be serious waterlogging in the capital, and then the smell is like entering the abalone, which makes people smell the fairy to death.
The height of the river island has kept up, and this problem will not occur, and it is a high-end area, so Song Jiu also took this into account when designing, specially designed the pipeline, leading to the south bank of the Nanbianshui, and even designed a few large water cylinder trucks similar to Zhengdian, and moderately discharged water to flush the pipes. This will make the river island very hygienic and clean.
The sewer is not a big problem, it leads directly from Zhengdian to Bianshui, but this excrement pipe must be repaired, otherwise it will not be repaired in the future, and it will cost a lot of money. If you have enough money, it's better to have a berm now. So the money is far from enough.
This problem was placed in Song Jiu's heart.
First of all, the villagers in the river were invited to organize manpower to level the silt cleared by the people, which means that the development of the river island has finally started.
Then a group of Yanai was invited to discuss and took the money, although most of the families were playing tickets, and for Song Jiu, the money was not much, but together, it didn't seem to be a small number, so they took turns to send stewards to check the accounts, including the money and silk used by Song Jiu before, and the R&D costs were included in it. How to use it, how much you can earn in the future, all the accounts must be clearly listed. The brothers still have to settle the accounts, Shi Baozheng Ha Lu Ha Yile said: "Jiulang, we can rest assured." β
Just four words, Song Jiu was silent.
No matter how much he calculates, he is still in a weak position compared to these yamen. Do they need to take inventory? If you don't take inventory, you don't dare to lose a penny from them. Song Jiuxin called it a fluke, fortunately there were many Yanei who joined, otherwise there would really be a problem.
Song Jiu was thinking about money all day long.
In fact, his mentality is a little crazy now, at first he wanted to use Hezhou to make money, and he tried to harm the river during the Qingming Festival, but if he wants to make money, he must invest, and he must make Hezhou a beautiful gold cave. Now his mentality is whether he wants to make Hezhou more beautiful or wants to make money, even he may not be able to tell the difference.
Zhao Kuangyi invited him over.
First talked casually, and suddenly said: "Song Jiu, the imperial court intends to transfer you to the south. β
Song Jiuyi shuddered and asked, "What south?" β
"South of Tanzhou, Hengzhou, Yongzhou, Binzhou."
"Second king, what are you doing with your ministers?"
"Last time you wrote a letter to General Pan Mei, the letter offered several suggestions, the court thinks that although it is good, it is not easy to implement, let you go south as an inspector to take a look."
"That's not going to work," Song Jiu cried out in a gaffe.
It's not that Hunan can't go, where are there four fierce men in Guan Jian, Pan Mei, Ding Deyu, Yin Chongke, and then a tiger general Zhang Xun was mobilized. Yin Chongke is a little better, it is said that he is actually cautious, he is an elder, and the other three are not very good. Ding Deyu made few mistakes when he was in Pinghunan, and served as the chief general to conquer Binzhou, but in fact, this person was also short-tempered. Although Zhang Xun is a tiger general, even worse, his character is very cruel, every time he breaks through the city, he will threaten and behead, it is said that he has not yet arrived in Hengzhou, and the people of the state are crying and saying, Zhang and beheaded, how can my generation be safe? When people are still in the future, the common people are scared and crying.
Pan Mei may be a little better, but she may not be very good to herself. After chasing Pan Li'er by herself, the news in the capital spread one after another, and Pan Mei must have also learned about it. It's that he can admit himself, and there is a process of acceptance, and now is not the time to meet directly. If you can't accept yourself, you go to his territory, and it is a matter of minutes to kill yourself, and if you kill yourself, you will guarantee that no one will hold him accountable.
"Why not?"
"I'm going to patrol with a small eight-rank scattered official, who will serve, the second king, you can kill me."
Zhao Kuangyi immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Song Jiu, the front-line generals are not as unbearable as you think, this official guarantees that you will be safe, and you will be safer than your heaven." This time, the imperial court asked you to go on patrol, and it was also an unavoidable move. It seems that you have also heard about the situation in the south, Chenyong and Lingbei, there are many barbarian tribes, and most of them are barbarian tribes, which have been difficult to control since ancient times. If it is ruled, the harm of the Southern Zhao of the Tang Dynasty may occur. If it is not treated, it will go out of the mountains to harass the Han households and acquaintances. The imperial court thought about it again and again, so it had to adopt Zhuge Liang's policy, first pacify and then pacify, govern the barbarians with bruteness, and do not interfere with it, but this policy also has many drawbacks. It just so happened that you wrote a letter to Pan Mei, and although the strategy of this letter was naΓ―ve, it also opened up another new idea. But I can't blame you, you haven't been to the south, you don't understand the situation, and it's not easy to come up with this strategy behind closed doors. Therefore, let you go to the south to have a look, it is best to come up with a better strategy, but I don't blame you if I can't think of it, just go around, and come back quickly, just next year, the spring flowers will bloom, and your river island will build bridges and wharves, or you will preside over it. β
The real situation was Zhao Kuangyin's idea at that time.
If it is an ordinary Yanai, as long as you don't break the law, you won't have anything to do. But Song Jiu has some talent, and Zhao Kuangyin wants to use it. But this wild man was not very useful, and he thought of his letter again, and at that time he thought of transferring him to the south. The temperament is not afraid, and there are a few wicked people to grind. It's hard to grind and know that it's hard, and if you settle down in the future, the court can use it.
I really can't think of a good strategy, Zhao Kuangyin won't blame, this national problem is very headache, let Song Jiu go with the same attitude of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, if he can get lucky and come up with any good method, Song Jiu will really enter Zhao Kuangyin's eyes in the future. If you want to be an official, you can't have miscellaneous studies, you must have the talent to be in charge.
But no edict was issued.
It's still Zhao Kuangyin's idea.
He is not a traverser, and he will only guess Song Jiu from the thoughts of the people at this time. At this time, the south in the hearts of the people was a vicious place, not only hot, but also many strange legends, even saying that the big law field and the small law field.
If Song Jiu just wants to get rich, just wants to be rich, and doesn't want to go to the south, that's the same thing, and Song Jiu is destined to be a technical official, craftsman official, and teacher in the future.
So he didn't issue an edict and asked Zhao Kuangyi to convey the meaning of the court, it's okay to go, it's okay not to go. It's just that the results will be different.
