Wang Ming was silent.

Zhao Pu is too strong, that's a god, and he doesn't dare to mention it.

A few people didn't mention Zhao Pu, so they sat down to negotiate. There was a strong wind outside, which the people called a hurricane, but it was actually a typhoon, and there were more of them in the autumn. However, the typhoon brought a torrential rain, and the weather was a little cooler. Often, several people don't care and continue to discuss and improve.

Then write a good note, wait for the rain to stop, and immediately send it to the capital. Wang Ming sighed and said, "If this continues, what will Lingnan become?" ”

"Your Majesty said that if you don't make it as rich as the Southern Tang Dynasty, you won't let me go back, there's no way."

"Haha," the few laughed. This is a joke, don't take it seriously, Pan Mei said: "Your concubine wrote you a letter, you can take a look." ”

Pan Li'er took out the letter written by Yuping and handed it to Song Jiu.

Song Jiu opened it and took a look.

In order to prevent anyone from opening it, Yuping's letter was written very vaguely, without saying any ideas, and only wrote down all kinds of things that had happened in Hezhou for most of the year, including the halberd. Pan Mei said: "There is a halberd in front of the door." ”

If he is given a choice, he would rather have this halberd than be tempered.

Song Jiu was silent and continued to look down, Yuping was worried about death, but Song Jiu was not worried. The reason is very simple, the nature of Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Pu uses money to enjoy, he just wants dictatorship, and he doesn't want to be the emperor, people go to him, he doesn't want to ask people, why buy people's hearts, it's too simple to want to buy, use the position in his hand to promote him and make a fortune. Zhao Kuangyi's plans are somewhat "ambitious", and he can't do business openly like Zhao Pu. Therefore, the division of the river island is very important to Zhao Kuangyi.

The current Zhao Kuangyi seems to be at a low point, and the actual tricks of scheming may not be under Zhao Pu. Can he make Zhao Chengzong destroy Hezhou? However, Zhao Chengzong came publicly. You can do it yourself. Next year!

From next year, Hebei will be completely destroyed.

I'm done. asked Pan Mei and Yin Chongke: "Jiedu makes the salary higher than that of the prime minister, how much higher may it be?" You will not be short of money. Your children all have deed shares in Hezhou, can't this deed money make up for it? ”

"Xiao Jiu, you make it clear."

"Zhangren, the imperial court is cutting military power, how many festivals are there, the Southern Expedition has merits, why do you need this festival to make a false name?"

Pan Mei and Yin Chongke were silent.

What are you kidding, how difficult it is to be able to do moderation, and are you willing to give up? Song Jiuyi looked at their expressions. Zhilu said that he was not good at persuasion, and said, "Yes, I won't say it." ”

Started writing letters in front of them.

One is the arrangement of Hezhou, regardless of the amount of dividends, each government will use the money to invest and dilute their own deed shares, so simply let them dilute one enough. Therefore, in the letter, Song Jiu said two tasks for Hezhou. The first thing is to buy land to repair the bridge, and the land in Hebei outside the East Water Gate has risen even more, but there are more tourists in the actual world. The back and forth was crowded, and it was impossible to stay, but it became a waste land. Song Jiu asked Yuping to buy the land and build the bridge. All the way to the north side of the corner gate. A road passage is left in the middle, and a curved bridge is set up in the north to reduce the slope. People and cars can go up and down, and there are four curved bridges on the river island. Access to four main streets. This was his intention in leaving the northwest corner of the river island. A small square will also be made, but mainly for bridge-building.

The berm on the west side is very wide. However, there were too many tourists, coupled with the tax vehicles of the imperial court, and there was chaos in the hall. Guards had to be sent to mediate day and night. As soon as the bridge was built, the congestion situation improved.

But not only that, as soon as the bridge is erected, many tourists will enter Hezhou directly from this bridge, instead of going from Hebei to Baiyu Bridge and back from Hezhou. There are no tourists, nothing left. If Henan is built again, from Hezhou, Henan will come back, and there will be fewer tourists in Hebei. Then there is the construction of a small wharf diagonally opposite Zhengdian in Henan, with three berthing and unloading grooves.

For the time being, I am still very careful, one is that the dragon embankment is crowded, and the other is that the goods are unloaded at the wharf and then transported to Henan, which is also very inconvenient. Even if it is repaired, if Henan is not built, it may not be able to see the real consequences.

Maybe Zhao Pu can see it now, maybe he can't.

However, Song Jiu faintly felt that Zhao Puquanyan was like this, and it was almost over. Although Yuping did not say Zhao Kuangyi's eight words in the letter, the sky wants to die, and he will want to be crazy.

Song Jiu didn't write about his intentions, but the letter still said these two reasons, the reasons for the bright and bright.

The second is to write a resignation letter to Zhao Kuangyin, the merits and demerits are offset, the ministers are the doctors, and the halberd in front of the door is deserved, and the ministers resign, if His Majesty is not allowed, the ministers would rather resign and go home, and even the officials will not do it.

Since it is according to Kaiyuan Lilly, then please halberd and halberd can be. If the reason is right, it is allowed in the Tang Dynasty, and if the reason is right, it is also allowed, although there is less honor, but it is more passed on as a beautiful talk.

Pan Mei doesn't care about Hezhou's affairs, she can't manage it.

But when he saw the halberd, he was anxious and said: "Xiao Jiu, you can't resign, if you want to have this opportunity after you resign, you can't." ”

"Zhangren, contentment and happiness, prosperity must decline, the inevitable principle of the development of things, can not be too glorious to last." Song Jiu said lightly. There are still many things, Song Jiu asked Yuping to borrow 200,000 yuan, which is going to play a bigger ticket. But before that, there is one more thing to do, and he said slowly: "Zhangren, it's my business to quit or not, let's still talk about Lingnan." Salt. ”

There are also many salt farms in Quang Nam, and like the Qiantang River boiling salt, the seaside salt soil is ploughed out by oxen, then poured with water, and after precipitation, the brine above is taken and boiled. There are also some redundant procedures, but the basic principle is that.

The cost is high, a pound of salt costs four cents, the speed is slow, and a large number of cattle and salt farmers are needed.

What Song Jiu said is to dry salt, first lay the salt pan on the seaside, and use the tidal principle to introduce the steamed and dried salt water into the brine pond, and then evaporate it a second time from the brine pond. Then boil and then reprocess. It's still not that simple, how to set up the brine pool, how to set up the dam, and the related process, but also to do the test. However, it is a simple technique.

One is the speed, the second is to save labor and cattle, and the third is to have low cost.

As for whether it will impact the price of salt, the problem is not big, salt is a tariff issue, not the original shortage of salt, even if there are more than 20 million households in the Song Dynasty, there has never been a shortage of salt, nor has there been a shortage of private salt......

Too much salt. Just control the salt farm, and there is less salt. to increase the salt pans.

"You can try it, try it out first. Then report to the court. Yin Chongke said.

A few people were talking, and the officials outside hurriedly came in to report: "Two governors, two transit envoys, the southeast flood was swept ashore by a hurricane, and many homes were drowned. ”

"Let's go and have a look," Pan Mei said to the others, putting on her coat.

The four of them mounted their horses and braved the wind and rain. Out of the city, the topography of Guangzhou is not the same as that of later generations, out of Guangzhou to the southeast, that is, the area of Shunde, Zhongshan, Zhuhai to Macao in later generations is not connected together, but by the sediment alluvial down from the Xijiang River, forming an alluvial island, there are more than 1,000 large and small islands. Most of the pirates encountered by Fanshang occurred in this area. This problem is not big, the key is the waves. Because of the lack of berms. When a typhoon comes, the sea is swept ashore, and in fact the seaside is all good arable land, but because of this. Few people cultivate, and they are far from the sea.

However, in the event of a large typhoon, it will also be severely flooded.

Walked for more than ten miles on horseback. I saw that the typhoon was rolling in the waves, and it kept rushing ashore. Hundreds of people's houses were submerged in the sea.

Pan Mei and Yin Chongke had no choice but to arrange people to save the people.

What property, no matter what. Let's get the people up first.

A heavy rain rolled in with the typhoon, and Song Jiu stood in the rain, his eyes barely open.

A few bigwigs are arranging people to be the people, but he thinks a lot. Lingnan has advantages, and the tyranny of the Southern Han Dynasty is easy to implement no matter what policies are implemented, including exemption money. And there is not much contradiction between several people, and they want to atone for their crimes, and they all use their hearts. Either it's a new general judge and judge, Xie Wei, I don't know if Lu Dao is a good official, but can he restrain that person? Even Song Jiu didn't dare to make things difficult.

Again, there are many disadvantages.

In many areas, there were large areas of barbarism, and it was inconvenient for the imperial court to directly manage them, otherwise it would cause popular unrevolts. There is also a complex terrain, many mountainous areas like Hunan terrain, lack of water, less soil and more rocky, not easy to survive. Like the Qinjiang River and other areas are different, although the downstream is a plain area, but similar to the northern part of Wuyue, the river is short and flat, the dry season can be short of water, to the flood season flash floods, the water can not be discharged, so many places are submerged. The Qinjiang Delta, which is large, is now a swampy area with few people living there.

The Xijiang River is similar to the topography of the Yangtze River and the east of the Yangtze River, and there is no shortage on both sides of the river, but at the beginning of summer, the rainy season increases, and the river water cannot flow to the sea immediately, so it is easy to inundate on both sides, so the flood season is long until the end of autumn. When you go to the seaside, it is like Kure South South, that is, the sea water flows back with the typhoon, just like what you see today.

Because it is a southern wasteland, since the Qin and Han dynasties, China began to operate, but did not pay attention to it, there are not many water conservancy projects in various states and counties, including weirs, bucket dams, river embankments, lake embankments, river embankments and seawalls, the whole is like a blank area, and it is hard to turn the place of three crops in one season into a more and more backward place. There is no human population and no wealth, all kinds of demons are coming, miasma, Gu, backward, barbaric, damp and hot, poisonous insects......

This problem is not big, no matter how complex the terrain is, it can be dealt with differently. The scribes led by Pan Yin and the others also accumulated some experience in Hunan. But there are two, one is people, and the other is money. Nothing can be done without them.

Thinking of this, Song Jiu hated so much that he wanted to return to the capital and beat Liu Gang again, not too much, even if he left a palace, it would be enough for Song Jiu to squander in Lingnan for a year. A fire burned to the core.

The people were saved one by one.

Dozens of people are missing, most of them drowned.

Low sobs were heard from the crowd.

A few bigwigs are comforting with kind words.

An elder said: "Generals, you are good officials of the Holy Son of Heaven, you have done your best, you can't get drenched, the people of Lingnan still want you, go back quickly." ”

The crowd behind him chimed in.

Who let God do that?

At least they had never seen an official in Han do this, braving a heavy rain to personally direct the rescue victims.

Song Jiu didn't want to do much, if he did anything about water conservancy, it would be a big game, and the conditions in Lingnan couldn't keep up now. And he has a lot of things, so go down to inspect it, only for the officials, and it is easy to sort out the officials from top to bottom.

However, looking at the group of victims in front of him, and the grief and confusion in the eyes of some people who had lost their relatives, he couldn't help but say: "Fellow villagers, are you willing to fight with me with the sea, the river, and the mountain, and turn Lingnan into a real paradise on earth?" ”

A middle-aged man said loudly: "Do you want to, Song Hou, what do you want us to do?" ”

Pan Mei, Yin Chongke, and Wang Ming stared at Song Jiu.

Others say that they can't be taken seriously, but Song Jiu says it, it may not be impossible.

Song Jiudao: "I need your diligence, your sweat, and you need to recommend talents to me, especially those who are proficient in water conservancy. ”

Yan Tong, the little official beside Pan Mei, asked, "Song Zhuan, is the little one okay?" ”

"Whoever you can, as long as you have the ability, you can do it." Song Jiudao, the edict was also issued, and Guangzhou had the right to choose the state.

Several people sent small officials to settle the victims, and after the rain, they had to build houses for them and deliver relief materials. Then return to the city. It was also getting dark. A few people did not disperse, and Wang Ming asked worriedly: "Xiao Jiu, is it okay?" ”

Fighting with the sea and the river and the mountain sounds very magnificent, but it is actually converted into two words, that is, water conservancy. The mountain riverside is a little better, add embankments and dams, but the biggest headache by the sea, what kind of embankment do you have to block the seawater?

If it succeeds, it will be a great merit, Quang Nam is mountainous, and the plain area is mostly in the delta of several large rivers, but the sea rush has become a serious constraint. Once the sea water is blocked, it is not known how many people can be fed if all these deltas can be cultivated.

"Maybe it can work," Song Jiu remembered a stone pond (stone embankment) he had seen during his previous life when he was traveling, and the tour guide also explained its principle. But sighed: "In the final analysis, there is a lack of people and money." ”

Song Jiu looked at Yan Tong again, drew a picture with a pen, and said, "If you can come up with a way to save it within four days, I will immediately ask General Pan to serve as the magistrate of a county in Guangzhou." ”

"Good way," Yan Tong looked at the picture with joy flashing in his eyes, but the light quickly dimmed: "How much does this cost." (To be continued......)
