Chapter 289: Guo Chengyi (I)
"You can't fight," Pan Li'er said.
Song Jiu is no longer an official, but no one will despise him. Everything he did in Lingnan, Zhao Pu deliberately blocked the news this time. However, with the fall of Zhao Pu, all kinds of Lingnan spread to the Central Plains, what is a good minister, this is a good minister, not Bashu, Bashu just forced Wang Quanbin not to kill, and did not show Song Jiu's governance ability. Lingnan is what the real good ministers do, and some people hint that Song Jiu is praised as Song Jing of the Tang Dynasty and Huang Ba of the Han Dynasty.
Song Jiu served as the judge of the Third Division a few years ago, and some people were not convinced, but if he was now the deputy envoy of the Third Division, no one would gossip. Even many people wished that Song Jiu would directly serve as the third envoy.
This is also a potential.
Song Jiu stayed at home to do research, the Song family's family was not low, and many noble ladies in the capital often came and went with Pan Li'er, and they were very well informed.
The Song Dynasty had not yet started to fight the Southern Tang Dynasty, but the Song family heard some developments in advance. For example, Fan Ruobing, a native of Jiangnan, was rumored to be a bad scholar, and he wrote a book and said something, but did not report it, so he sought to return to the north. Fishing quarrying on the river first, carrying the silk rope in a small boat, the head of the rope is tied to the south bank, and then quickly arriving at the north bank, in order to measure the width and narrowness of the river, dozens of round-trips, get the number of its feet, so flee to the capital to say that there is a strategy to take the south of the Yangtze River. He Ce outsiders don't know, Zhao Kuangyin listened to it and ordered him to participate in the academy examination, gave the first, and awarded the Shuzhou regiment training officer. Fan Ruobing also told Zhao Kuangyin that his mother and relatives were in Jiangnan, and he was afraid that he would be harmed by Li Yu, and he was willing to welcome him to the place. Zhao Kuangyin immediately ordered Li Yu to escort him, and Li Yu obeyed orders. He also summoned Ruobing as a doctor of Zanshan, and sent an envoy to Jinghu, such as Fan Ruobing's strategy, to build thousands of large ships and yellow and black dragon ships.
The common people still don't understand, thinking that the court is inexplicable. Isn't it just to measure the width of the river with a small boat, why is the reward so thick? Including Pan Li'er.
Song Jiu asked a few rhetorical questions, if he attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty. Where is it most important?
Quarry Rock!
Why do you have to measure dozens of times?
This Pan Li'er didn't understand much, and Song Jiu explained that if you only measure the width and narrowness, several times are enough, in addition to the width and narrowness, this measurement is not only wide and narrow, but also the turbulent current, which is not suitable for the boat to pass by, and the depth of the shore is not suitable for the ship to arrive at the opposite shore smoothly and berth. Soldiers and horses cross the river. and all the others, there is a lot of learning in it. Then ask, why did you ask him to supervise the construction of the big ship?
This time, Pan Li'er and Yuping both figured it out, that is, he understood the river boat.
The Song Dynasty was building sea ships, and there were not many ships in the imperial court, but more than 90 ships were built in Zhuya, and more than 70 were launched. In terms of ship technology, it is still the first in Quanzhou, followed by Guangzhou. This is helpless, although Song Jiu got many craftsmen from Quanzhou and Guangzhou, as well as Wu Yue, the basic craftsmen are not good. However, the Mizhou sea ship can gradually be compared with the Wu Yue sea ship. But the river boats still can't work, they are river boats, the kind of small and medium-sized boats that sail in the Bianshui Yellow River, with hundreds of stones and dozens of stones. The technique of river boats is still the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Fan Ruobing was born as a literati. What he wanted to take was a jinshi, where did he come from shipbuilding skills. This is something that has been secretly learned over the years.
With these two points, can't it be reused?
Therefore, it is said that the talented man is not good at being the emperor. Few people can beat Li Yu in calligraphy, painting, articles and lyrics, especially in the history of Chinese literature? Maybe Da Su and Xin Qiji are stronger than him, but they won't be much stronger, at least at the level of Li Qingzhao, Liu Yong, Nalan and others. Don't forget, Li Yu is not a successor, but a pioneer. But it was no longer possible to be the emperor, knowing that the Song Dynasty was eyeing him, the map books of various states were given to Lu Duoxun, and Fan Ruobing's family was sent to the Song Dynasty, and Fan Ruobing had no worries since then.
It's preparation.
However, from the speeches of some noble ladies, I still got a message that the imperial court still mainly focused on recruiting surrenders, supplemented by attacking and fighting. The reason is very simple, several battles of the country, heavy losses. Hunan rebelled endlessly, and several famous generals and officials ruled for several years before they barely made the people not hate. Not to mention Bashu, the people still do not have a good impression of the Song Dynasty. The Southern Han is the best, but the fire is cold. It's better not to fight.
If you want to surrender, you must make Li Yu trust.
No matter how bad Liu Gang is, he is also a monarch, if a Yanai wants to be beaten, will he be beaten, will Li Yu dare to surrender?
Pan Li'er looked at Song Jiu beggingly.
This matter can be big or small, and if you don't get the big brother, you will be unlucky.
Song Jiu scratched his head, called Guo Da, and said, "You call Guo Cheng quickly, and bring that Guo Chengyi with you." ”
"Whoa."
After a while, Guo Cheng brought, and Song Jiu said: "Guo Cheng, you accompany me to Kaifeng Mansion." ”
took Guo Cheng to Kaifeng Mansion and asked the officials, Zhao Kuangyi flogged Pan Weide fifty times and put him in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion. It's not a joke, if it's fifty lashes, it doesn't matter, I'm afraid of subsequent punishments.
Song Jiu met with Zhao Kuangyi.
Zhao Kuangyi shouted: "If it is an official matter, the yatang will state." If it is a private matter, they will meet in the hall, but they are not allowed to talk about official affairs. ”
It is not allowed to intercede, it is useless to intercede.
"The two kings, private affairs, is a good thing, and its inspiration is not from Wechen, it is what students think, this is exactly what Wechen values, please talk to us in the side hall."
Zhao Kuangyi looked at Guo Cheng and didn't know him, but he understood what Song Jiu meant, the academy has cultivated many students, but they can't be assistants around Song Jiu, they have to think independently and do things independently, that's what Song Jiu said a hundred flowers bloom. It will not be a few decades later, Song Jiu will pass away, and the country will not stop because of Song Jiu.
But at this time, it is impossible to say that it is not for business, so listen to it first.
Come to the side hall.
In order to avoid suspicion, at least Song Jiuming is still Zhao Kuangyin's peach blossom, so they haven't seen each other for a long time. But Song Jiu felt very strange, knowing that Zhao Kuangyi was not very far away from the cruel night, but he didn't feel scared when he saw Zhao Kuangyi.
After thinking about it, I felt ashamed in my heart.
Self-psychological analysis, the reason is very simple, although Zhao Kuangyi's methods are cruel, he harms the emperor, is a clan, and is okay with ministers. Since he didn't harm the minister, Song Jiu would not be afraid.
However, judging from the direction of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty needed Zhao Da, not Zhao Er. Zhao Dazai, the internal governance is okay, but it is inferior, but it is better in martial arts. If there is Zhao Da, maybe the sixteen states of Youyun can be won, and the northwest will not rebel and succeed in independence.
But knowing this, Song Jiu shrank back.
Zhao Kuangyin has a suspicious personality, just like Dou Yi. Knowing that Lu Dao is a capable minister, he has the ability of a prime minister. It has not been reused, if it is appropriated early. Where did Zhao Pu's dictatorship come from? Or Feng Zhan, such a capable minister has been floating around in the place, if he had reused it earlier, even if he was given one or two false titles and important positions, how could he be bought for Zhao Kuangyi? In fact, it was his own family that was used for it, first Zhao Pu, then Zhao Kuangyi, and the most important one wanted to mention Zhao Kuangmei. Don't dare to use courtiers, this is Zhao Kuangyin's most real evaluation!
There is also Wang Hu. Because he didn't obey Fu Yanqing, and he didn't reuse it, but he really harmed him and became a villain, will he be reused? There are also more inferior courtiers such as Song Jiuma Renyu, although they used it, but for various reasons, they did not let it go.
Although these shortcomings did not hinder Zhao Kuangyin's greatness, they forced Song Jiu to retreat.
And the means of these people. Song Jiu is far from being the opponent of these people, if he can't move Zhao Kuangyin, he is not the opponent of these people, how can he not retreat?
Actually deep down. Song Jiu didn't want to provoke a heavy proposition, so he asked him to be a Guangnan transfer envoy, so he did. Well done, but not done. I won't think about it. Also think about the country for the good of the research he did. Many are good for the country. However, he was unwilling to do it at the risk of his life.
Zhao Kuangyi once pretended to be weak, but Song Jiu always pretended not to know.
Song Jiu assembled Guo Chengyi.
Zhao Kuangyi didn't understand much, Song Jiu explained: "Second king, this is the instrument made by my student Guo Cheng, when he measured the height of the mountain in Guangnan, he found a point, theoretically the shadow at noon is the shortest, but the length of the shadow in the south and north is not the same, and I thought of the theory that the earth is a circle, the theory that the earth rotates with the sun, and then made the instrument. ”
"Students from Guangnan, please take a seat," Zhao Kuangyi said politely.
Song Jiu promoted advanced planting in Guangnan, including the most profitable cotton, and the most profitable sugarcane in the future, but not only cotton and sugarcane, but also various crops, including advanced planting of various grains, animal husbandry, animal husbandry, fishery, and economic timber for tea and fruit spices. Most of them completed their missions and came back one after another, but the latter still sent some students and old farmers to replace them every year, which was a bit long, the longest reaching ten years.
Let's start with the role.
No matter how much money is spent, it has to be said that the effect, if the effect is big enough, it is worth spending more money. Is there an advanced way of farming in Guangnan, yes, the area of Guangzhou, that is, the area of Guangzhou, is not the most advanced way of cultivation and water conservancy, first of all, there is no decent seawall, and secondly, it does not attach too much importance to agriculture, the reason why the Southern Han Dynasty does not worry about grain, is completely due to weather factors, two crops a year, three crops a year. There is no decent water conservancy after the most decent, including mature polders, enclosures, weirs, pi, and ladders. But when Song Jiu came to Guangnan, he not only brought the most advanced farming methods in the Central Plains, but even went ahead.
And different from the original spontaneous, it is consciously guided, centered on backward areas, gradually promoted, hundreds of small and medium-sized farms, not only before and after the operation of nearly 9,000 hectares of mature cultivated land, handed over to the local people, at the same time in the exploration of a set of mature farming and breeding experience, invite the local people to visit, in order to quickly promote.
Song Jiu changed a method and used his power to transport some best-selling products from Hezhou and the Central Plains to Guangzhou Port to trade with Fanshang, making a lot of money difference. This price difference, including some of the money invested by the Song Jiu family, was smashed down, which was the original capital of the farm, and then used the high-priced cotton to exchange it back, whether it made money, earned, but it was beyond its means, overall, if the money earned in the early stage was deducted, it was actually a loss. However, this experience has been obtained, and it should be promoted by the most advanced experience and techniques that were not available in the previous dynasty.
Song Jiu has merit, hanging on the river island, everyone knows it, including the people of Guangnan. It is precisely because of these hundreds of farms that the cultivation and breeding industry in Guangnan has almost reached the level of the middle of the Ming Dynasty. So the people thanked Song Jiu, Song Jiu said I didn't do anything, I actually did a lot, including the four-six point system of the pit, Guangnan did not implement the pit system of the Song Dynasty, but all handed over to the rich to operate, provided some conditions in advance, such as roads, and some equipment, and then provided some quantitative gunpowder, the mine owner handed over forty percent of the output as a lesson, and the rest was obtained by himself, if he wanted to sell it to the imperial court, he would sell it to the imperial court, and if he wanted to sell it himself, as long as he did not evade taxes, listen to it!
It's not really inaction, it's promising, it's just a guide, it's a matter of being lenient to the people, and it's completely different from Quang Nam.
In this regard, the guiding role of advanced farming and breeding is indispensable. But without the old peasants, the knowledge of the students only stays in theory. There are no students, and the old farmers just know what it is, but they don't know why. The theoretical knowledge of the students opened up the knowledge of the old peasants, and brought these advanced theories to all parts of the Song Dynasty. The practice of the old farmers supplemented the shortcomings of the students' practice.
However, it came at a huge cost.
The so-called miasma, that is, malaria, caused many students to be recruited, and Song Jiu sent back many students one after another when he was in Guangnan, and recruited many students back after returning to Beijing, but there were still seven students who fell forever in Guangnan.
Guangnan is not good, their sacrifice is in vain, Guangnan is almost undergoing earth-shaking changes, after Zhao Pu stepped down, these situations have been fed back to Zhao Kuangyin's ears, Zhao Kuangyin regretted, posthumously gifted seven students official positions. And issued an edict, as long as the students stay in Quang Nam for more than one year, and pass the graduation examination of the academy, they will be admitted and promoted to the county magistrate. It's mostly southern, but that's an official position.
In fact, there are still some farms in the north, the first batch was auctioned by the imperial court to private businesses, and the second batch started, but they didn't suffer much, but they were rewarded in the academy, such as adding credits and giving some money and silk rewards, which were mostly related to the Song Jiu family. That can't be extraordinarily rewarding.
No matter how Zhao Kuangyi is evaluated in the future, he is also a person who attaches importance to people's livelihood, so he is very polite when he hears about the students of Guangnan. (To be continued......)
