Song Jiu's inaction, Gu Tong's heart was more stable.

However, it didn't take long for his heart to rise again.

Guo Er, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared, but he did not return to Jiangzhou City alone, there were many people who came with him, including the Pan family, the Guo family, the Han family, the Fu family, the Shi family, the Gao family, and even a few Yanai came to Jiangzhou in person, including Pan Weigu.

Over the years, under the leadership of Song Jiu, they have made a fortune, from Hezhou to Guangnan, and then overseas.

Song Jiu valued overseas the most, followed by Guangnan, and Hezhou the most. They value Ha Chau the most, followed by Quang Nam, and the most overseas is the last. As a result, there were two different results, Song Jiu focused on overseas, while most of the Yanai focused on Guangnan.

Although Hezhou has a lot of money, it is only more than 30 years old, and it will be handed over to the imperial court in the future. Quang Nam's industry is their real industry. Therefore, the focus was gradually put into Quang Nam.

A large number of Yanai sent people into Guangnan, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantages will inevitably have some conflicts with the local heroes, but this disadvantage is exactly what Song Jiu wants. is also Haoqiang, but the cohesion of the two is worlds apart.

More favorable places. is also an investment, one is Zhao Chengzong's short-term, fast, and forcibly exploitative investment by using power. One is high investment, long-term investment. Through River Continent, the latter's input is more acceptable to more people.

Song Jiu left Guangnan, and his influence was still there, not only sugarcane and cotton, but also many Yanei began to try to grow some spices, tea, silkworms from the South China Sea, and some workshops under the guidance of Song Jiu. Silk tea has a high yield in Quang Nam, but the quality is not good. It doesn't matter, they may not be popular in the Central Plains, but they can be sold overseas through the city.

This kind of long-term investment has brought advanced technology to the local area, brought economic vitality, increased taxation, and strengthened ties with the Central Plains.

And because of Song Jiu, most of the Yanai took the initiative to let the housekeepers treat the people well, and their actions were not too bad.

It is these investments in the government that have made Quang Nam more and more prosperous.

Song Jiu asked Guo Er to go back to the capital to bring the letter. These yamen immediately sent people to Jiangzhou.

But they came. made Gu Tong's heart tremble, and it was easy to deal with one person, but there were so many Yanei, and that one Yanai had a deep background. Where did Gu Tong dare to offend?

Song Jiu greeted him with "illness".

Pan Weigu said: "Brother-in-law." You guessed it. ”

"Guessed right."

"Father."

Soon after Zhao Kuangyin worshiped his ancestors. began to dispatch troops, with Dang Jin as the main commander and Pan Mei as the capital supervisor. Yang Guangyi was the capital of Yuhou, Guo Jin was the supervisor of the Ma Bu army of the Xin Dai camp, and the troops were divided into five routes, Hao Chongxin and Wang Zhengzhong sent troops to Fenzhou, Yan Yanjin and Qi Chao soldiers went out of Qinzhou, Sun Yanxuan and An Shouzhong went out of Liaozhou, Qi Yanchen and Mu Yanzhang troops went out of Shizhou, and Guo went in and out of Daizhou to attack the Northern Han Dynasty.

Of course, the mobilization of the Fifth Route Army, coupled with the preparation of supplies, grain and grass, and the accompanying of the army and civilians, there is still a period of time before the troops are dispatched.

Song Jiu felt a little strange.

If it is according to Zhao Kuangyin's previous use of troops, they will all take one land, stabilize it for a few years, and then take the second land. In terms of the art of war, it is to boil the soldiers, have war and leisure, so that the soldiers will not become a tired army. But why so fast this time?

The Northern Han Dynasty is almost over, but the Northern Han Dynasty is not terrible, and there is still the Khitan behind the terrible.

Could it be that Zhao Kuangyin wants to quickly unify the Central Plains in order to establish the crown prince?

Song Jiu suddenly felt terrified, if it was really as he guessed, Zhao Kuangyi had to do it. Moreover, the army went north, and there were not many forbidden soldiers in the capital, which was also the best time to start.

So this winter......

In the capital, Zhao Kuangmei's house.

Zhao Kuangmei was also asking: "Brother Huang, why don't you let Cao Bin lead the troops?" ”

"Third brother, Cao Bin is benevolent, he can use it to conquer Jiangnan, but he may not be able to deal with the Northern Han Khitan, last year, I saw him use all kinds of troops, and my heart trembled, how can I let him use troops in the north again?"

"I see, no wonder it took a long time for the imperial brother to promise him the post of Pingzhangshi."

"The way to use troops, one is to arrange and plan, the second is to compare troops, and the third is also luck, this is his luck, and it is also the luck of my Great Song Dynasty, so the battle of the mouth of the Anhui River was reversed by our army. And I also promised that a gentleman's word would be difficult for a horse to chase, and besides, I am the emperor, how can I not keep my promise. So after thinking about it, he was still given the position of privy councillor. ”

"Why didn't the imperial brother let Pan Mei be the head coach?"

"The Northern Han Dynasty is about to run out, there is no need to worry, the difficult thing is that in the future, why I hide money in the inner treasury and want to recover the sixteen states of Youyun, it will be a fierce battle, which will last for many years. If you don't reserve a lot of money, you will inevitably lose money and labor at that time, and without financial support, you may be able to fall short at any time. At the same time, it is also necessary to train troops and generals, and the country cannot pin the use of troops on Pan Mei alone. Otherwise, if something happens to Pan Mei, the country will be useless. ”

"That's right."

"Fortunately, cotton began to be planted widely in the north, and the soldiers gradually braved the cold and were able to fight with the Khitan, otherwise it would be more difficult to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun."

"Fortunately, the imperial brother didn't listen to Tao Gu's words back then, Song Jiu, I have been a Song for a long time," Zhao Kuangmei said. All kinds of benefits of Hezhou, Zhao Kuangyi spent the money, Zhao Kuangmei did not spend it, and the dividends before and after, including the deed shares, were sold, and he got more than 200,000 yuan. So Zhao Kuangmei has always had a good impression of Song Jiu.

"Song Jiu......" Zhao Kuangyin muttered.

He is in the palace, and he can hear all kinds of news, but this news is true or false, and he can only rely on his wisdom to identify it, but with Song Jiu going to Jiangzhou, he worshiped Jiangzhou City three times, and other deeds were also fed back to the capital.

He didn't reject Jiangzhou City three times, just three worships, and he didn't make a big deal about it, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't like Cao Han's actions.

It seems that the situation in Jiangzhou is not very good for Song Jiu, and it is the second brother's idea for Song Jiu to go to Jiangzhou. It seems that the second brother is "framing" Song Jiu, but as Zhu Yanei went to Jiangzhou, Zhao Kuangyin also reacted that the bad situation in Jiangzhou was actually just an illusion.

No matter how Gu Tongju and Zhang Ji tossed, their background is too shallow, where is Song Jiu's opponent.

But if Song Jiu makes Jiangzhou better, it will be a great political achievement, this is not Bashu and Guangnan, Bashu is just a bet, and there is the support of Lu Yuqing, Ding Deyu and Cao Bin behind. Quang Nam is doing well, but what if there is no Pan Mei?

If Song Jiu did a good job in Jiangzhou, the meaning would be completely different. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin began to doubt the relationship between Song Jiu and Zhao Kuangyi.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't say much, whether it had anything to do with it or not, it was not a big problem, once he took the Northern Han, it would further weaken the second brother's power, so he said: "Third brother, you have to pay attention to the capital for me." ”

"You mean the second brother ......?"

"Before her death, my mother repeatedly told me in front of me and Zhao Pu to prevent the consequences of the coming weeks. For example, the Zhou family has a long monarch. The world is not owned by me, so I support the second brother just in case. In order to make my mother look at Jiuquan, I agreed to come down at that time. ”

Zhao Kuangmei nodded.

This is just in case, but that there are so many people who die young?

Big brother didn't take it seriously. Otherwise, Zhao Pu would not have suppressed the second brother.

Besides, the two imperial nephews are also older. It seems that the eldest brother wants to help Defang become the crown prince. When the eldest brother was still rich and strong, he was not in a hurry, but the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed. The country is stable, then it is necessary to pave the way for the imperial nephew. In fact, in depth, my mother liked the second brother, and what she said on her deathbed at that time was also partial. This Zhao Kuangmei is not very easy to say.

But Zhao Kuangmei is not very supportive of the eldest brother's approach, is the second brother so bold that he dares to rebel and usurp the throne?

……

Song Jiu is cured, and when he is cured, he will have to take care of the government.

At this time, Song Jiu was no longer Song Jiu who had just come to Jiangzhou, and Gu Tongju faintly felt that something was wrong.

Song Jiu's approach is still very normal.

After taking over the government affairs, he summoned several major officials and asked about government affairs, some of them satisfied him, and some of them made him very dissatisfied, so he replaced the three officials.

There is no full exchange, only three people are replaced.

The corners of Gu Tong's mouth twitched, but in the end he still did not refute. If he has to oppose this, it means that he wants to completely empty Song Jiu, and he will inevitably tear his face, thinking about those yamen in the city, he can't afford this consequence.

However, Song Jiu didn't make much moves, and asked a few students to inspect the situation in the suburbs of Jiangzhou, and even measured the depth of the lake and the depth of silt on the shore of Pengli Lake.

That's all.

One after another, the people of Jiangzhou came to ask for real estate, but Song Jiu replied that he was still delaying.

But within a few days, Song Jiu received a secret report from a fisherman. When the fisherman was fishing in Pengyuan Lake, he inadvertently sailed his fishing boat to several sandbars deep in Pengli Lake. That night he saw a number of ships moored near a sandbar.

So curiously approached his boat, and saw that there were many people gathered in Shazhou to discuss matters, he lurked with the help of reeds, and heard a news, the leader seemed to be called Luo Da, because he was dissatisfied with the officers and soldiers who were chasing after him, and gathered some people who were dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty, ready to attack Jiangzhou and rebel.

When Song Jiu heard the news, he was stupid at the time, and immediately called Gu Tongju to ask: "Gu Tongju, have you arrested a person named Luo Da?" ”

"I ordered the arrest, this person is a thief with a bad record, and he must be arrested."

"I'm in trouble," Song Jiu told him about the situation, and Gu Tong immediately asked the fisherman, and then took out a map to inspect it.

Liang Jiu asked the fishermen to retreat and said, "Jiulang, send officers and soldiers to chase it down." ”

"They just gathered, and they didn't set up a village, Pengli Lake is so big, how can it be recovered? And the imperial court doesn't want Jiangzhou to be troublesome, it's okay to get it, what if you can't get it? ”

Gu Tongju's face changed, he didn't do anything wrong, he wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, Guan Jian had a ghost in his heart, if he alarmed the court, his corruption and bribery would inevitably be revealed, and the two account books that were fatal were still in Luo Da's hands.

Song Jiu groaned and said: "They are a rabble, most of them don't dare to attack Jiangzhou City, I am afraid that they will endanger the safety of the Pengli Lake waterway." And if they rob ships on a large scale, they will have more and more money in their hands, and the amount of strength will be greater and greater, Jiangzhou does not even have a complete city wall now, and they will really attack Jiangzhou when the time comes. ”

"Either send the forbidden soldiers over."

"The imperial court only stationed two battalions of forbidden soldiers in Nanting, and it is not a naval army, how can the vast Pengli Lake be done? And the imperial court is going to use troops against the Northern Han Dynasty, if something big happens in Jiangzhou, you and I can't afford it. ”

"The imperial court wants to use troops against the Northern Han Dynasty?"

"Well, this matter ......" Song Jiu thought for a long time and said, "Let's go and take a look at the three battalions of soldiers outside the city." ”

The two of them went out of the city to watch the box soldiers, these three battalions of box soldiers were all temporarily organized, most of the old, weak, sick and disabled, one was hard labor, the other was deterrence, as for the combat effectiveness, Song Jiu couldn't help but shake his head after seeing it. After pondering for a long time, he said, "I can only organize another group of soldiers." ”

"Jiulang, there aren't that many people."

"Yes, Dean." (To be continued......)
