"I kind of get it."

"Wechen has the ability to cover His Majesty's eyes, and Wechen has also gone down to see many places. Many places have become barren mountains and mountains due to over-cutting or grazing, but are they really bad water and soil? In many places, many places are close to rivers, and if large cylinders and aqueducts are built, water can be diverted to a height of more than ten zhang to irrigate these soil mountains. It will increase the area of flat land by two to three times. Although these lands will be bad, the actual yield will not be less than the plains. Manure can also be used as pasture fertilizer, or to plant some miscellaneous grains, as supplementary feed, people can also eat. The same is true for pigs, Weichen asked carefully, some people who can raise can feed some bitter hemp, chicory, carrots, which can also be planted artificially, or even intercultivated with crops and fish. All kinds of methods, as well as Weichen's ideas, are recorded here. Song Jiu pointed to the stack of documents he brought back and said.

It's not that easy.

Of course, nomadism is not suitable for the Central Plains at all, Song Jiu remembered that in his previous life, he also watched an American western, saying that the nomad and the herdsman had a conflict, and the last nomad killed the herdsman for freedom. If that freedom comes to the Central Plains of China, the whole Central Plains will collapse.

What is free is not necessarily so important, if you are free, what will others do? The actual permanent pastor will save a lot of resources and the income will be higher. If it is said that it is bitter, perhaps the shepherd is even more bitter, the cattle and sheep must be managed, and the pasture grass must be irrigated, fertilized and harvested, but the nomadic herdsman is also bitter, and he has no fixed place to live, and if he encounters a catastrophe and cold weather, the cattle and sheep are finished, and the family is also finished.

But the problem is not so simple, first of all, all kinds of swine fever, rinderpest and sheep fever, in this era there is no vaccine at all. You can only pay attention to greenhouses, humidity and ventilation, as well as hygiene, which must be slowly tested and explored. In order to popularize the technique. Therefore, Song Jiu said again: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, including raising the price of cattle." The implementation of Tibetan horses in the people, do not levy any direct or indirect taxes on large livestock, the income of Weichen Hezhou is not low, next year to allocate a part, His Majesty can be handed over to His Majesty dozens of locations, Weichen hired people to test the test, regardless of profit or loss, some techniques must be explored. And then think about it. ”

"Why did you inquire about the Kuyan Kaido?"

"This is also important, one is for the sake of the cow. The second is for the sake of the country. Wei Chen did not talk to the Zhe family in detail, and his heart planned to choose a place to accept in the northwest, transport cattle and sheep from Zhubu, slaughter them in Fuzhou, produce salt in the northwest, salt is cheap, and salted into salted meat, which can be stored for a long time and trafficked to the Central Plains. Replenish the need for meat. ”

"It's a great idea."

"Your Majesty, but this process is to organize businessmen to enter, and the court must not preside over it. Otherwise, it will become a disadvantage of selling wood in Guanzhong. ”

Zhao Kuangyin still remembers this incident vividly, and Zhao Pu made a lot of money selling timber. No one knows how much money is earned, and officials on both sides of the Weishui Strait in Guanzhong are red-eyed. Some merchants were short of money, so they borrowed money from the government. The interest of each chief official is 1 out of ten. If it is not a usury, the annual interest rate of 60% is considered a real usury.

That's good to start with. Later, the officials saw that it was profitable and forced merchants who were not short of money to borrow. Only Zhang Mei is in the same state. Some counties did not make a profit, so they instigated merchants to go to the capital to complain. Zhao Kuangyin asked the chief to return the interest together. It is said that tens of thousands of dollars are released, and thousands of dollars are made a year, which is not much, but this is only found out and returned, and the actual number may be ten times that of it. It's a pity that Wang Anshi didn't pay attention to this record in history, otherwise he would be very careful when presiding over the Qingmiao Law, which is 20% of the benefits!

Then Zhao Kuangyin transferred him to Cangzhou, took a fancy to a sister surnamed Zhang, forcibly took it back and became a concubine, and a little rich family had 4,000 yuan. The two also went to the capital to fight a lawsuit, and Zhao Kuangyin personally summoned him to ask if you can be safe in Cangzhou Zhang Mei in the future, and said that he was uneasy. So here comes how. Speaking of which, there is no revenge. Zhao Kuangyin quibbled: "Since Zhang Meicun is the life of the people of Cangzhou, it is his greatest. Although you take your daughter, do you have a grudge? You let me depose Zhang Mei, how much I love, I love you Cangzhou people. I will warn Zhang Mei, I won't do such a thing next time, how much is your daughter worth? "Say five hundred dollars. Zhao Kuangyin laughed and laughed, five hundred yuan can buy a decent head in the capital, and the big thing is small, so he doesn't care about it, and gives this person five hundred yuan. He also told Zhang Mei's mother that if she was short of money and asked me, she couldn't ask for the people. Give his mother 10,000 yuan. Zhang Mei was moved and has since become a good official.

Song Jiu couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this.

Just like Kang Yanze's handling, he didn't follow the rules, of course he didn't care, he just used this matter as an example, it was meat that he got it, not a horse, and the court must not interfere, and if he interfered, it would be a mess.

"Song Jiu, you don't have enough confidence in officials."

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Weichen is not enough, especially the economy, you can't do it, the officials operate, if you can avoid it, it's best to avoid the officials."

Zhao Kuangyin swallowed.

"Your Majesty, the country can use it enough, and what you take from the people will eventually be used by the people."

"Yes, the treasury is sufficient, what is the use of hiding the food of the world for sixty years like Yang Guang?"

"Your Majesty is also wise."

"Let's talk about it for the country, where is the trouble."

"The trouble is the horse, Weichen said, the Central Plains can't raise good horses, and I don't want to operate horses, as long as I don't wantonly obstruct the horses, the Khitan will not be angry. Wechen's second thought was that what was lacking was ironware, cloth, tea and some porcelain. Especially the cloth. Your Majesty, send spies to the Southern Han Dynasty to introduce grass cotton. ”

"Grass cotton, there are also in the Western Regions, and the Central Plains are not suitable for planting."

According to Mr. Wang, this plant is native to Tianzhu and the continent further southwest, and was gradually brought to Lingnan and the Western Regions. The grass cotton in the Western Regions is better, but its seeds are adapted to the climate of the Western Regions, where sunny days are all year round. There is a lot of rain in the Central Plains, and it cannot be planted. Only Lingnan seeds can be introduced in the Central Plains, and after a few years of planting adaptation, they can be promoted. And it has a very high yield, one acre of land can produce fifty or sixty catties of cotton yarn, and ten catties of cotton yarn can spin a cotton cloth. Song Jiu said very implicitly, even if he adapted, in this era, one acre of land would only produce fifty or sixty catties of lint, and it would never be possible to think of two hundred catties and three hundred catties, and it was still inferior coarse cotton.

"What kind of cloth is eaten?" Zhao Kuangyin asked nervously.

This Bu Ta Zhi Dao is very expensive, because there are few. It's four or five times more expensive than silk. But the account cannot be counted in this way, and if it is then, it will produce five pieces of cotton cloth. That's right, the gross income of one acre of land can reach more than 20 yuan. That's not farming, it's grabbing money. Once planted on a large scale, it will be very cheap and can fall to the price of linen.

Song Jiu nodded, and said: "But it will be very troublesome to turn it into cotton cloth, and Weichen must research a machine, not only cotton cloth, but wool can also weave excellent and warm cloth." There is also the kind of milk butter that Weichen has, which is inconvenient to transport in summer. If you set up a point in the blockade, teach them to refrigerate, and transport it in winter, it will be a good price to the capital. Your Majesty, the Khitan will not be vigilant, but because of the relationship of interests, the prevention will gradually be entangled with our dynasty. It is worth 10,000 soldiers. ”

"If it is as you say, it is worth 50,000 elite soldiers." Zhao Kuangyin paced back and forth. Suddenly laughed: "So complicated? ”

"Your Majesty, such a complex may not be able to produce a major breakthrough in the cattle issue. But if that doesn't work, there's no cure. ”

"You've got a heart."

"Your Majesty. The minister is the most backward and enterprising, although she is the sister of the prefect, she is only a woman. The Pan brothers are actually quite skilled, and they were picked off the horse in a few ways. This woman hesitated, otherwise she wouldn't have used Shihe. is not to pick off the horse, but to stab the Pan brothers to death. A leaf knows the autumn, and you can think of the fierceness of the party people. Don't be afraid, they survive in the cracks, and they can only rely on me. Weichen is worried about the Tuoba Li family, they are powerful, and they are the surname of Wang in the party, and their appeal is the first in the northwest. There is a Khitan in the north, if the party item is harmed again. I will be in trouble. Therefore, Weichen believes that three or four families should be supported in Yanzhou and Lingzhou, so that they can hinder each other, and not become a single family. There are also cases in the previous dynasty, the rise of the six edicts, it was the Tang Dynasty short-sightedness, supporting Pi Luoge to unify the Southern Zhao, the most Lu after the Tang army was humiliated, especially in the Wenzong era, the capture of Chengdu, plundered men and women and hundreds of thousands of people, so that the Tang Dynasty in decline suffered great trauma. This is a lesson from the past, and it must be guarded against. ”

"You said the Li family would be opposed?"

"Now they don't dare to rebel, but if there is a hero in the future, they will dare to rebel. Moreover, our court is mostly infantry, and lacks iron cavalry. They are located in the Nanhetao, and many areas have become the Gobi Desert and desert, and it is difficult to supply and transport, and it is not easy for the army to advance and it is difficult to exterminate. Repeated inactivity, our dynasty will suffer heavy losses, and the most reluctantly look at its growth and helplessness. It was difficult at that time, so it was better to take precautions now and support a few to grow, and it didn't cost much. In addition, the Fuzhou Zhejia, the Linzhou Yang family, the Fengzhou Wang family, the Qingzhou Yao family, the Suizhou Gao family, the Huanzhou Murong family and so on. Then Tuoba will not be able to unify the party and the clans. The distant ones can be drawn and divided so that they cannot be cohesive, and the close ones can be brought together to submit to the imperial court, and gradually become the real territory of the imperial court. This is a strategy to regain the northwest without a fight. ”

But the two are at different levels and consider different issues.

Song Jiu was worried about the future of Western Xia.

However, whether it is Li Yuanhao, who is lucky enough to be against the sky in the future, or Li Jiqian, who is as cunning as a wolf, he can only be pumped when he encounters Zhao Kuangyin.

So Zhao Kuangyin didn't take the party members to heart.

Song Jiu had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

Back at home, Yuping hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Jiulang, I heard that a woman in the party almost killed you." ”

Zhe Yuxun wrote a recital, and Zhao Kuangyin also sent an envoy to intercept Song Jiu on the way to ask, and Song Jiu had no choice but to write a recital to briefly explain what had happened. Shi Hanqing said that he was ashamed, but Song Jiu didn't think it was ashamed. Is it great to be skilled? If so, how many people can Zhao Pu beat? Even Pan Mei can knock down fifty Zhao Pu alone, but Pan Mei is not afraid of Zhao Pu? However, some of the yamen were well-informed and had secretly informed him about Shi Hanqing's tongue chewing.

I don't know if the news spread by that person is at least a group of women. But this Shi Hanqing is really annoying, especially since his status is not high, but he is Zhao Kuangyin's spy, and his words are somewhat effective. Now Zhao Kuangyin does not reject himself, once he rejects him, this guy instigates a few words, and he may not have good fruit to eat. While saying to Yuping, "That's a misunderstanding, don't take it seriously." ”

But in his mind, he was thinking about how to deal with Shi Hanqing, and when he saw Song Jiu coming back, the students in the school hall leaned out and cheered together. The others also came out, and when they saw Guo Da, Song Jiu's eyes lit up. After chatting with everyone, Song Jiu gave Ambassador Guo a look. Guo Dahui followed Song Jiu to the back room, and Song Jiu said in a low voice: "You let Huang Qing come to my house quietly at night." (To be continued......)
