The capital is also covered with a layer of silver.

Song Jiu quietly looked at a recital.

The measures in the northwest are not satisfactory to him, but they basically agree that once implemented, a relatively loose chain defense system will be formed in the entire northwest, central and northern regions.

If it is tighter, then Li Jiqian will lose the space to jump. There's still room for him to jump, but it's cramped. Even because of all kinds of means of co-optation and differentiation, the soil for his survival and the space for his rise have been seriously shrunk.

There may be an accident, but I believe it won't happen.

Song Jiu again set his sights on army building and the north.

First received Shi Pu's information, Song Jiu felt sorry, but this is inevitable, if Wu Xuanming's skills are a little stronger, and then rise up, like Wanyan Aguta defeated the Liao State, wouldn't they covet the Central Plains?

Yes.

As for kindness, how many people will repay it?

How is the proud Wu Xuanming the opponent of Yelu Huge, so he wrote a letter to Wu Xuanming to make him humble, especially Yelu Xuange and Yelu Xuan, now the main task is not to expand the territory, but to consolidate the rear and unite the clans. The letter won't reach Wu Xuanming until next year.

However, Song Jiu didn't have much hope, he only hoped that Wu Xuanming would be able to resist for ten or eight years.

Song Jiu received a report again, the Khitan wanted to take advantage of Fengzhou's unpreparedness, sent a large army to attack Fengzhou, was defeated by Wang Chengmei, broke more than 10,000 people, beheaded more than 2,000 people, captured its Tiande Festival envoy Xiao Tai, obtained countless sheep and horses weapons, and took the power of this battle, and the northern area of Fengzhou belonged to the Khitan Rili, Yueyi, Wuxi, Wuyao and other eleven tribes more than 70,000 accounts attached.

It's another big win.

In this battle, there was a heroine, Yang Ye's second sister-in-law. She Taijun's second sister, folded two. She and her husband went to the front together in this battle, under her leadership. As if they had taken stimulants, the soldiers of Toyosu defeated the enemy in an instant and chased them for hundreds of miles. In history, because of her bravery, Song Zhenzong also deliberately let her enter the capital to meet her, rewarded her with a formal official position, and received 50,000 yuan a month......

However, Song Jiu was thinking hard.

If it is used well, it will be a good thing, more than 70,000 accounts, can make the Wang family increase 30,000 or 40,000 elite soldiers. The south can assist the imperial court in destroying Li Jiqian, and the north can become a strong force to attack the Khitan.

But not like that.

It belonged to the victory of the family armed forces and had little to do with the imperial court. This article is like the later Song Renzong time, Sanchuankou and other battles were defeated very badly, but the officers and soldiers on the side of Fulin cooperated with the Zhejia army and also beat Li Yuanhao to the ground, but the history books rarely contain it.

The reason is the same.

And the stronger the Wang family, the more worried the court will be.

Sure enough, Zhao Kuangyi only gave Wang Chengyi, who came to Beijing to offer prisoners, brocade robes, gold belts, and silk hundreds.

Song Jiu entered the palace with a map.

Open the map to Zhao Kuangyi. The northwest began to implement Song Jiu's plan, not only the road forts to be built soon, but also the original garrisons and some forts. This creates a dense network. Policies are also supporting the local economy, including the wool trade routes. This network of Dafu Prefecture avoids the desert semi-Gobi region on the west side. Including the openly rebel area of Dijinze. However, Fuzhou is within the network, and even as an important transit point in the future. Fuzhou will also benefit.

This range does not include however also Toyoshu, where it tops the northwest side. It has almost become an overseas island.

In some ways, Song Jiu's policies were also extremely unfair to the Wang family.

Zhao Kuangyi said: "Song Qing, what do you mean by showing me this map?" ”

"Your Majesty, the reward is too light, and you will be given 50,000 pieces of cotton clothes and quilts."

Zhao Kuangyi thought about it and agreed, the cotton planting range was extensive, and the price gradually fell, if the freight was added, it would only be fifty or sixty thousand yuan. The Wang family will be happy, but it will not be further strengthened and endangered by this.

Song Jiu retreated.

That's all he can do.

Song Jiu returned home.

Suddenly, I unexpectedly saw a person, the little daughter-in-law who looked north.

She is the daughter of the Qi family from a large family in Jiangzhou. In Jiangzhou, Zhang Wangbei inadvertently saw that her family was a little dissatisfied with the door-to-door begging, just like when Song Jiu asked the Pan family for marriage. However, as Song Jiu came back from Jiangzhou, Zhang Wangbei received an order to transfer to Jishan as the main teacher, and her parents became anxious and quickly married them in Jiangzhou.

It can't be said how much cheapness he has made, Zhang Wangbei is relatively honest in office, and now he is only a magistrate, barely supporting his family.

It's just that when she got married at that time, Pan Lier took out a lot of dowry gifts for Song Jiu, and the wedding was more grand.

And as far as Song Jiu knows, this little lady is also more virtuous, Zhang Jiayuan's personality is extremely strange, which is commendable, she and Zhang Jiayuan get along very harmoniously, and she is usually filial and sensible.

Therefore Song Jiu is strange.

She is not in Yu County, why did she run to the capital?

Pan Li'er said with a gloomy face: "Zhao Pu has made a move on Zhang Wangbei. ”

It all started with Song Jiu.

Under the auspices of Song Jiu, the academy revised the tome of agricultural science, which was later revised several times. It should be said that it has played a huge role. Among them, the water conservancy situation in various parts of the country is described. What kind of terrain needs what kind of water conservancy.

For example, Yuxian County, which is the most typical terrain of Hedong, has many mountainous areas and few arable areas, so it is mainly based on mulberry and hemp dry grains. And flash floods are common in many areas. Once the flood season comes, the rivers are too short to drain, resulting in flash floods, and the rushing rivers wash away the mud on the surface, further damaging the local water and soil.

However, there are ways.

If the financial situation is high and the population is dense, then the weir can be built to store water during flash floods and release water for irrigation during droughts. But most of them are unlikely now, where is there anyone. It's just that there is money, why don't the people build this reservoir?

But there is still a way to get the people to organize themselves and build some dams in some river valleys, not to store water, but to store the water, and when the rain is over, the water is slowly drained and the silt in the water settles. Then the embankment is built and the river channel is dredged, so that crops can be planted in the embankment.

If the soil is thin. After a few years, the water is stored again. In this way, the mountainous areas of Hedong can grow into tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land.

Zhang Wangbei went to Yu County, where the geographical location is very important. There can be a Taihang trail to Hebei Zhende, or it can reach Daizhou. However, it is a typical mountainous terrain in Hedong, with poor products and sparse people.

Therefore, Zhang Wangbei initiated the people to use this silt method to conjure up more than 900 hectares of fertile land.

This was supposed to be a good political achievement, but something happened after the autumn.

When the autumn rains came, a flash flood broke down one of the largest weirs, turning more than 200 hectares of cultivated land into nothingness in an instant, and drowning dozens of ordinary people.

Everyone is dead, who will remember Zhang Wangbei's kindness? So the victim came to the capital to complain. Zhongshu issued an order to reduce Zhang Wangbei's nationality to the people, and at the same time exile him to Shamen Island.

Zhang Wangbei's wife, Qi, hurriedly came to the capital to ask for help.

"You are not in a hurry, as long as you don't abandon the city, there will be a way, let me ask you, when the weir embankment that had an accident was built, did Zhang Wangbei participate?"

If they are not involved, they are civil organizations. This time, the handling of Zhongshu and Yushitai is not right. If you participate, it's a little unclear. Therefore, some officials do nothing in office and mix their qualifications. I'm afraid that's it. It's okay not to do things, but there is always a good side and a bad side to do things. If the political opponent holds on to the bad side, it will really become his own bad thing.

"The officials are also worried that something will happen, and they will inspect every weir embankment." Qi's answer was not good.

Song Jiu thought for a moment. Jiang Guo shouted and whispered a few words in his ear. Guo Da quickly rode out of the capital and went to Yu County.

"Official. It's a bit of a trick to do. ”

"It's okay, it's a conspiracy in the end, and you can't see the sun."

Song Jiu still went to the court to deal with official business as before, but a few days later, Qi suddenly came to Wendeng Courtyard to beat the drum and complain.

It was not the husband's mistake, but that someone wanted to frame the husband, and during the autumn flood, the weir was dug up, drowning many people, and afterwards strangers entered the village, fanned the flames, and instigated the bitter lord to go to Beijing to file a complaint.

The officials of the Imperial History Observatory did not dare to slack off, and sent the superintendent of the Imperial History, Sun Rixin, to personally preside over the trial.

When Sun Rixin saw the pleadings, he immediately became furious and shouted: "Bold woman, this official asks you, you said that someone was secretly digging the embankment, where is the evidence?" ”

Qi handed over the evidence, not human witnesses, but physical evidence, the height of the autumn flood at that time, the height and thickness of the weir embankment, and now except for the section that collapsed, the rest of the weir embankment is there. Compared with the two, with the power of the autumn flood at that time, it was impossible to break this weir embankment. And there are many strange things, the incident happened in the dead of night, otherwise people would not have drowned. And there are people patrolling during the day, and even if there is a collapse, you can see a little bit during the day. However, there was no sign during the day, and at night, when the flash flood was about to end, the embankment suddenly collapsed.

It cannot be used as valid evidence, but it can be used as doubt.

However, Sun Rixin was furious again, and shouted: "Bold and ruthless, you dare to talk nonsense and rumors to confuse the public, come here, a hundred rods." ”

"It's so majestic," said a shrill voice from a sudden slap outside.

"Who?"

"It's the Sprinkle family," a eunuch walked in from outside.

Sun Rixin knew, the inner class all knew Li Shenfu, the eunuchs of the Song Dynasty were not valuable, but this person was quite trusted by Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangyi was good at taking notes, and Li Shenfu was rewarded and served, and he got more of his other books. Sun Rixin didn't dare to slack off, and arched his hand: "I've seen Li Duzhi." ”

"Do you want to beat this woman to death?"

"She spread rumors and made trouble, and the official taught him a lesson."

"A hundred rods down, will this woman live? Can you say you don't want to beat her to death? ”

Sun Rixin felt a little uncomfortable, some fine sweat broke out on his head, and he said stubbornly: "Li Duzhi, this is the official asking the case, and you have no right to interfere." ”

"Wrong, the Sprinkle family is under the edict of His Majesty, and specially went to the Yushitai to see how you judge this case."

Sun Rixin faintly felt bad, so he said: "Li Duzhi, you come and take a look, just based on what she said, why do you say that someone is digging the embankment?" ”

After Li Shenfu read the complaint, he said lightly: "Even then, don't you think it's suspicious that those strangers entered the village and instigated the villagers to go to Beijing to complain?" ”

"Maybe it's a passer-by, who is not convinced after seeing it, and wakes up the villagers."

"Sun Yushi, why are you so active today when you heard that when you were in Jinghu and turned around together, you lost your ministry and invaded official land as a livestock shed?"

……

In the Privy Council, Song Jiu always had a mocking smile on his face.

It may not be the result of man-made dikes, but there are many reasons, such as the sloppy villagers patrolling during the day, and the burst of the embankment is in the emergency part of the river, which may suddenly cause an accident, or there are ant nests on the embankment. There are also sloppy places in the north of Zhangwangbei, which are not polders in the south of the Yangtze River, like these silt fields, which cannot be built in low-lying places nearby, but to guide the people to continue to live on high slopes or at the foot of hills.

But the starting point of Zhang Wangbei is good, and everywhere he goes, he also has quite a lot of political achievements.

There is also a metaphor, if the Jiangnan polder is built, if the polder is broken by care, then more people will drown, so why not build a polder and enclosure? Or will something happen at sea, then it will be closed to itself?

Of course, because of the irregularities of the law, he can pull the strings, and Zhang Wangbei can be guilty of meritorious service, demoted, dismissed, and even exiled to Salmon Island. It depends on how Zhao Kuangyi views this matter.

At this time, Song Jiu suddenly thought of a story in his previous life, when the Nazis killed the Jews, a Jew entrusted his two sons in two places, one was the person who the Jew gave favors, and the other was the person who received the favor from the Jew, and the person who gave the favor betrayed his son, but the person who gave the favor to the Jews protected his other son.

In fact, it is the character of the person. Everyone has two sides, the good side and the bad side. It's a dark side of the character.,It's the side of the strong self.,So it's easy to be ungrateful.。 But there is also a moral side to why man becomes the spirit of all things. Doing good deeds once in a while will give them a sense of honor and spontaneously maintain that sense of honor.

The brothers and sisters of the Zhang family were taken in by themselves, but Zhao Kuangyi gave the order, otherwise they might not be willing to take them in.

The last time I went to my house, I saw Zhang Wangyuan, which made Zhao Kuangyi very proud. Maybe he also read Zhang Wangbei's resume under his back.

Besides, let Guo Da find out the news that someone instigated. (To be continued......)
