At the end of the gloomy night banquet, the Song army arrived, Liu Jiyuan hurriedly sent an envoy to the Khitan, invited troops for assistance, and asked Du Yu to wait for his godbrother Liu Jiye as the commander, Feng Jinke as the deputy marshal to lead the army to choke the group Baigu, and his second brother-in-law Ma Feng as the privy envoy to supervise his army. The Northern Han army arrived at Dong and crossed the river, and Li Jixun met, not Li Jixun, only Li Jixun's vanguard He Jiyun, the two armies met, a tragic battle, Liu Jiye and Ma Feng were beaten to the ground, and their generals Zhang Huan and Shi Bin were captured alive, and the two led the remnants of the defeated army to flee to Taiyuan City. He Jiyun then chased after him, captured the Fenhe Bridge, and burned the Yanxia Gate of Taiyuan under the city of Taiyuan. Liu Jiyuan saw that Yang Ye couldn't defeat the Song army, so he asked another brave general Guo Shoubin to fight, but he was defeated again, and Guo Shoubin also received an arrow and retreated into the city.

Li Jixun's large army caught up, but stopped.

At this time, the Song army was not weak, and they could slip away with the Khitan iron cavalry in the wild, but there was no way to take this Taiyuan City, saying that the Northern Han soldiers were strong, and they were bears in the wild, but as soon as they were in Taiyuan City, they immediately became like a demon possessed, and they were extremely strong.

Li Jixun did not have the luxury of capturing Taiyuan City, which was in line with Guo Wuwei's actions, the Song army sent troops, forming a coercion, and Guo Wuwei was able to persuade the Northern Han monarchs to surrender.

And in order to cooperate with Guo Wuwei, and even acquiesced to Guo Wuwei to kill Hou Barong, how difficult it is to cultivate Hou Barong, Wang Quanbin attacked Leping and forced Hou Barong to surrender, and then made up for the inner temple, and then brainwashed him repeatedly, Hou Barong agreed to take the risk of returning to the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty also wanted to build momentum for him at the border.

But Hou Barong had to die that night, and only when he died could he prove that Guo Wuwei was innocent in Liu Jien's matter, and he could be qualified to lobby everyone to surrender.

Hou Barong was killed, and when he was dying, he didn't think that this order was given by Guo Wuwei. Guo Wuwei sent people to welcome Liu Jiyuan as the king. The expressions on everyone's faces that night were wonderful. Liu Jiyuan who doesn't know the Tao of Lu, he only knows the Tao of Lu and reads Buddhist scriptures all day long. Give the Northern Han to him, can the Northern Han still be better?

This is Guo Wuwei's clever plan.

One is personal feelings. He has a good relationship with Liu Jiyuan, and Liu Jiyuan is a good friend of Guo Wuwei because of his belief in Buddhism, and Liu Jihao, the great housekeeper of the Northern Han Dynasty, is an iron buddy, which is a solid triangular alliance. In terms of personal relations, Liu Jiyuan can be persuaded to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

The second is that Liu Jiyuan is incompetent, and only incompetent people can be easily controlled.

At the end of the night banquet, Guo Wuwei waited for the arrival of the Song army and was ready to persuade Liu Jiyuan. It was only then that Liu Jiyuan revealed his true face, not a cute bobcat. It's a ferocious tiger, who used to read Buddhist scriptures and didn't know about affairs, all of which he pretended!

As soon as he succeeded to the throne, he immediately killed several of his uncles, that is, Liu Jun's surviving brothers, Liu Hao, Kai, Qi, and Xi, and only Liu Mian pretended to be crazy and stupid and escaped. Empress Dowager Guo is still crying on Liu Jien's coffin. Liu Jiyuan sent his confidant Fan Chao in and hanged Empress Dowager Guo. The descendants of the Liu family only left Liu Milling in one line, and none of the rest survived. After doing all this, Liu Jiyuan glanced at Guo Wuwei coldly.

Guo Wuwei is in this cold early winter. Looking at the eyes that were even colder than winter, he couldn't help but shudder, at this time he still dared to persuade him to surrender?

So there was a strange scene in Taiyuan City. Li Jixun didn't dare to attack Taiyuan City, not daring. If you can't attack it, what good will it do to increase casualties. But Taiyuan City did not dare to send a large army to attack. In one city, one outside the city, there was nothing to do with each other for nearly a month.

The night banquet had a far-reaching impact, first, Zhao Kuangyin's Northern Expedition, second, Zhao Kuangyin was more determined to go first south and then north, and third, he was more jealous and suspicious. Take a look at Guo Wuwei, is Liu Jun bad for Guo Wuwei? Once again, he saw a tragic betrayal......

Song Jiu didn't know the inside story of the Dao, but he felt that there were a lot of strange and incomprehensible things in the night banquet, and what made him strange was how easily Yang Ye was defeated by He Jiyun. Is this still Yang invincible? Although He Jiyun's eldest son He Menglamb and his second son He Mengrong have a good relationship with Song Jiu, they are also one of the Yanei in the Hezhou deed stock.

He was still influenced by the Yang generals.

In terms of fighting, in fact, Li Jixun, Dang Jin, He Jiyun and others in the Song army are not much worse than Yang Ye, and the gap between the soldiers led by the two is too great. A tiger with a flock of sheep can do a flock of tigers with a sheep, but where can a tiger lead a flock of tigers? Therefore, in the battle of the Vortex River, Yang Ye was beaten by He Jiyun, a big tiger with a group of small tigers, and was powerless.

……

The weather really cooled down.

Song Jiu overthrew the cement workshop again, allocated another 50,000 yuan, and rebuilt it for the third time. If it weren't for Liuli, I don't know how many people in Lu Dao scolded him for being a loser. And Song Jiu paid out of his own pocket, he could spend it as much as he wanted, as long as he didn't rebel, who could control it?

Cement has also played a role. The first is that it can be sold for money, and it can earn tens of thousands of dollars a year, and the second is the warehouse.

The loss of the warehouse is amazing, and it is not very easy to manage and audit, there are no rats in that warehouse, God knows how much rats are eaten by the Tao, and how much are the officials greedy? What's even more sad is that the mud and sand, put it in the storage warehouse will be damp, so it must be turned over, turned over and put on the mud field, there must be mud and sand into it, which is unavoidable, but some officials want to embezzle, and the quantity is much greedy, so they stuff the mud and sand into the military rations, as long as it is not excessive, it is not easy to check.

With cement, most of the problems can be solved, such as dampness, a layer of sand underneath, which is used to prevent moisture, and cement mortar is poured on top. There is moisture, but not too much, then the number of turns is reduced. Even if the barn is poured with cement, the dust will be removed before entering the warehouse, and the sand grains should be paid a little attention when collecting grain, and they can also be screened before entering the warehouse. So where does the sediment come from? This made it impossible for the little official to find an excuse to mix mud and sand into it.

There will still be losses, even if the wall foundation is laid, the cement is laid, and the rats still have a way to flock into the warehouse from all directions, but they may not be able to escape through the windows if they can come in, and the door is blocked when they are regularly turned over, and none of these rats can escape. Birds and finches come to peck, and some people expel birds, even if they don't drive them, how much can they eat in the sun for a day or two? Then there is moisture, the new grain will become old grain, there will be a decrease in moisture, but then the drying is not to dry the original moisture, but to increase the moisture in the air, and the weight of the grain will not change.

Moreover, the new warehouse is asbestos tile, and the warehouse has become larger, easier to manage, and easier to prevent fire.

The warehousing is under the management of the three divisions. Zhang Chun, the envoy of the Du Branch, and Hou Zhi, the judge, had been helpless against the storage warehouse before, and since the imperial court has successively rebuilt the storage warehouse. First the storage warehouse in the capital, and then the storage warehouse in various states and counties. In addition, Song Jiu's original two students helped each other, and at this time, the accounting books were printed, but no one taught them, and the various officials were not good for the time being, so Song Jiu's students were still the main right-hand men of the three divisions, and they couldn't do without them. The two of them handed over the loss of each warehouse to them to calculate.

Forget about the less, and send someone down to check if there are more, and catch countless rats one by one. Fatally, they are all third-class households and above to act as warehouse officials. I'm not afraid that they will be greedy, and if they can't be caught, they will be punished. Some petty officials were punished and ruined. In fact, this service method is not very good, Song Jiu couldn't help but think of Wang Anshi's exemption law, the details are not known, and the big one is also known to Lu Dao, which is the most important one in Wang Anshi's reform.

After thinking about it, I still didn't say it.

It is already more advanced than the Tang Dynasty, and it is demanding. This group of bigwigs can't bear it. If you can't bear it, you will think that you are troublesome, and you will eventually find trouble with yourself.

The new warehouse has a cement, two asbestos tiles. Song Jiu stayed in an asbestos tile house at this time, not him. There are also bigwigs such as Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu.

Song Jiu was weighing, and no one bothered him.

This is no small matter, even more important than the new steel.

In fact, Song Jiu was very dissatisfied. And he still has a lot of puzzles. It can't just be cottonseeds, after Pan Mei went south. He also sent scouts to infiltrate Hainan Island and bring three things. The first is the iron collar for squeezing the cottonseeds, which is two iron rods, through which they rotate to squeeze the cottonseeds out raw, which is a very clumsy design, and people are also very tired. But it's not easy to come up with it. The second is the small bamboo bow, which is several times smaller than the cotton bow that Song Jiu saw in his previous life. The third is the reeling car, the spinning procedure is similar to the silk reeling procedure, but the reeling style is different.

When asked about the yield, a woman once made an analogy: one acre of cotton grows 200 plants, and 1,000 cotton plants can get 20 pieces of cloth. There are several messages in this sentence, and the first one is that the people of Hainan began to break away from the secret species in the Western Regions. On the Western Regions, it was sprinkled on the ground, and then fertilized, and several cotton trees grew together. If it is not wrong, Song Jiu seems to have grown cotton like this in China for a long time through the narration of some old people in his previous life. That is, in this era, the idea of the Li people to grow cotton actually exceeded that of his previous life in the eighties!

It cannot be said that dense planting is wrong, but it is necessary to keep up with the fertilizer seed planting method, and even the soil climate. There is that in this era.

The second is that the land in Hainan is not tight, the land is vast and sparsely populated, not the land is tight, but the manpower cannot keep up, so it is sparsely planted, and the pursuit of single plant yield and cotton peach is large.

The third is the yield, the Li people do not talk about horses, but talk about boils, which is equivalent to horses. No matter what kind of fine yarn a cotton cloth is spun into, it cannot be less than eight catties, and if it is warm, the roving will be heavier, and it can weigh up to twenty catties. Or there is some silk wrapped in it, but the output of this thousand lint plants is also about 100 catties.

to him to try it.

Of course, this method is certainly not enough to take, an acre of land twenty or thirty catties of lint still can not be regarded as a high yield, so the planting is more dense, the reason why he said sixty catties of lint, there is some basis, if he is not mistaken, he in his previous life an acre of lint can reach 150 catties to 200 catties, before liberation was 50 catties. Low-yielding areas and high-yielding areas are not counted, this is a normal yield. The reason for the high yield is that the fertilizer has kept up, the second is the seed to keep up, and the third is the single plant transfer and nutrient bowl seedlings.

Where are there more than 100 catties of lint in the Li nationality, the fertilizer is not bad, and the planting method should be more scientific, and there should be 60 or 70 catties per mu.

As a result, the highest yield is 2,500 plants per mu, and the highest yield is 3,000 plants. This can't be squeezed with an iron mill, and it is picked out by pure manpower to keep the cotton seeds. The second is that the number of plants is small, the cotton peach is large, and the seeds should also be retained. Further comparisons next year.

Weighing the lint output again, the highest yield of seed cotton reached 182 catties, and Song Jin was a little larger, equivalent to 200 catties, which was expected by Song Jiu. But the following disappointed him, the cottonseed content in it was too high, and only thirty-seven catties of lint were selected.

A difference of more than 20 pounds!

With such low yields and such a high cottonseed content, there is only one indication of the serious degradation of the seeds.

Zhao Pu immediately said: "It's a lot worse." ”

Song Jiu was silent.

Shen Yilun used a small stick to calculate on the side, calculated for a while and said: "That's good, if the price of its cloth is the same as that of silk cloth, the income of one mu is equivalent to the income of raising fifteen foil silkworms, which can make two families live." At the current price of white stacked cloth, more than a dozen families can live. ”

He is the real justice! (To be continued......)
