I don't know if Zhao Kuangyin is really angry or coy, but this is Song Jiu's kindness, Song Jiu is not afraid, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there are no two days in the sky, there are no two masters in the country, and the academy is an important place for the country to cultivate talents, so it cannot become a place for micro-ministers to cultivate their fame and grace." If you want the academy to become the academy of the imperial court, you must wash away the brand of Wechen, although Wechen resigned from the position of Mr. Academy, but the academy exists in Hezhou, and Hezhou is in charge of Wechen, one belongs to Hezhou, and the other is also controlled by Wechen economically, and the three are inseparable from Wechen, and Wechen must do this. ”

It is impossible to completely erase Song Jiu's brand, and there is no need for that.

But he is financially independent and has nothing to do with Song Jiu, even if Song Jiu occasionally teaches or discusses knowledge with students in high school during research, it will not have much impact.

This reason Zhao Kuangyin was irrefutable, and Song Jiu said: "Your Majesty, at the end of April this year, the dividends will be distributed, and Hezhou will make a total profit of more than 2.4 million yuan, which is now, if you go forward, the profit will be more, and even more than double." His Majesty thought about it, if there is so much profit in the future, and the Weichen deed shares are full again, then 15.6 million yuan can be distributed in a year, what kind of research will use up so much money? Even if Wechen is very good at using money, he will save more than one million dollars a year at that time. The money is good, but this money is too much, not only Weichen, but even Zhao Xianggong will be hot with this money. If there is less money, Weichen can get it, but if there is too much money, Weichen will not dare to get it, so Weichen plans to hand it over to the imperial court. However, the imperial court cannot take over in a hurry, and there are still six or seven years left for the expiration of the deed shares, and during this time, the imperial court must select officials to take over. I also continue to supervise, that is, Wechen will help out. Then Wechen will let go after six or seven years, and Hezhou will not make mistakes. ”

That's another reason.

But Zhao Kuangyi frowned. Used on the river island, this reason can also be used for the country, if the eldest brother starts to help one by one, things are a little bad.

Zhao Defang gradually grew older, which gave Zhao Kuangyi a sense of urgency.

However, his brow quickly loosened, and no one noticed.

Many ministers stared at Song Jiu suspiciously.

If this happens, Song Jiu will lose a lot, that is, he will run this river island, except for the cost of marriage. gave the three sisters a little benefit, almost nothing, all of them were given to the state directly or in disguise for free.

Or can it be said that there is no Hezhou, Song Jiu has no money to marry Pan Li'er, and no capital to tinker at sea, but in any case, such a big benefit, if you give it up, you have to be admired.

Zhao Kuangyin's voice changed. It's not easy to say that I agreed, and I deserve it, Hezhou has changed from a deserted small Hexinzhou to the current prosperous situation, and Song Jiu at least accounts for more than eighty percent of the credit. But now Song Jiu wants to be an official or not, and he has no power, and Zhao Kuangyin is embarrassed to accept it. So he said, "You have such a temperament...... For what is dragging the Pan family down, you must know that Pan Mei is still fighting bloodily for me on the front line. If it is transmitted to Jiangnan, what does Pan Mei think? ”

"It doesn't matter. Your Majesty, the Pan family has been operating with Weichen over the years, and they have also obtained a lot of money, money is a good thing, but it is enough. More money is not necessarily a good thing, is it possible that because of the lot of money in the family, the grandchildren of the grandfather, father and grandson do not know that money is scarce, sitting in the sea of gold and silver, eating in Shundian, living in the rich inn, watching in the theater? ”

"You kid," Zhao Kuangyin was happy, he also heard that Pan Mei's two sons did this, or Song Jiu pulled it out, but in other ya, some of them have more deed shares, and their parents don't care, or their father died, and they began to fall so much. Especially Fu Yanqing's second son Fu Zhaoshou, the second brother has scolded him many times for this.

He said: "Yes, money is a good thing, but also a harmful thing, some officials are greedy for it, some businessmen are harmful to the people, and some are powerful and oppressive for it, but I don't understand, why don't you donate its profits, but completely hand over the deed shares?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't say that your grandfather's military achievements are great, you need to avoid it, even the ministers also need to avoid it, after all, we can't be regarded as ordinary gentry and lords, it doesn't matter if they favor the people, Your Majesty wants to favor the people, but we are different, we are not afraid of raising the people, we are afraid of raising the hearts of the people...... Not only Hezhou deed shares, but also the affairs of Hezhou gradually faded out in the future, precisely because of this untouchable support of the people. Since ancient times, those who dare to support the hearts of the people are either ignorant and ignorant, or Wang Mang and his ilk, and no important minister with skills dares to support the people. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was silent.

His merits were many, the most obvious of which was in the military, so many descendants felt sorry for him after his death.

But Zhao Kuangyin also has a lot of shortcomings, the Song Dynasty has a lot of commendable places, such as the Qi people, less than one of the poor children of the Jinshi in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's sentence to earn all the heroes is white, but it is actually an empty word, including the tribal system and the gate valve system, which is a seriously polarized society. In the Song Dynasty, the real imperial examinations were held, and education, including education, began to be opened to the common people. There are also various policies that seem to be backward in the future, but are actually very humane at the time.

But most of these policies have nothing to do with Zhao Kuangyin, or they are just a slogan of Qi people, which were gradually perfected in the hands of Zhao Kuangyi and later Song Zhenzong and Song Renzong. Although Zhao Kuangyin shouted out Qi people, all kinds of policies are still extremely unfair, and it can only be said that he has made a good start, and it is convenient for latecomers to gradually improve.

Another shortcoming that made him die, that is, he did not dare to let go of the use of people, whether the country has talents, Lu Yuqing and Lu Duoxun said very clearly that day, the recommended ministers can be said to be more than ninety percent of the generation of famous ministers, and more than fifty percent can enter Zaifu. However, so far, Zaisuke has not had a new blood except for Lu Duoxun, a master of strategy. Zhao Kuangyin was right to suppress the famous generals of the Chai department, and he would do the same when Song Jiu ascended the throne, but he was not worried about the newcomers, so the power was collected in the hands of Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyi.

This one is far inferior to Zhao Kuangyi.

didn't dare to raise newcomers in a big way, so he lost the opportunity to win over his new team, and the old team was almost ruined under Zhao Pu's wrist, but in fact, Zhao Kuangyin was already very dangerous at this time.

It was this shortcoming that Zhao Kuangyin was silent for a long time before he said a sentence: "Do it well, after the research on copper smelting is over, I will give you a national duke." ”

Not anymore.

Zhao Kuangyi is both happy and regretful. What is Shuomai, Brother Huang. You read it wrong, it's not wheat. It's people.

Song Jiu did not refuse, he didn't want anything from the country, this time the contribution of shares, plus the work of copper smelting in the future, as a price, asked Zhao Kuangyin for one thing. That's Apple.

It just so happened that the Southern Tang Dynasty was almost about to take it, and if the Southern Tang Dynasty was taken, there would not be much fear of the Khitan, but the Khitan side was very jealous of the Song Dynasty for the time being. As long as the Liao envoy came to Beijing, Zhao Kuangyin sent someone to say a word euphemistically, after such a long time, Xiao Yanyan should also know that the value of the jade apple obtained by Lu Dao is not much, and he will send the person back. This is the third set of plans that Song Jiu thought of as a good one.

But now I can't say that it's not a big deal, Yuping is just a concubine, even if she says it in private, Zhao Kuangyin won't be gracious.

As for the merits of the wheat. Song Jiu never thought that no matter how productive it was, it couldn't be promoted, so what kind of credit was it? At most, this production is out. Let everyone have fun, and I also know that the wheat also has this yield.

And his presumptuousness, Ludosun looked for him. Let's get Hebei down, Song Jiu has done it. But it turns out that Ji Lu is not like this, that is the real boiled frog style to eliminate Hebei. The downside is that it's a little slower. It may be like Cao Bin's use of troops, which will produce variables. Lu Duoxun, Su Xiao and Chu Zhaofu joined forces, and there was a Zhao Kuangyi behind him, and several parties pushed him, and Hebei would inevitably fall soon. As soon as Hebei falls, all kinds of bad things will come out. Zhao Pu smeared his body with black ash. But this is a seven-wound fist, hurting others and hurting themselves, attracting the hatred of many people, including their parents. Among them, even a very small number of people's dividends have not recovered the capital, and Hebei has no more.

Although if you want to get on the top, someone will hate it sooner or later, but this style of doing things is not what Song Jiu likes.

At this time, can Zhao Kuangyin come forward for his concubine?

Song Jiu withdrew all the deed shares of Hezhou in a high-profile manner, at least on the books, he invested all the proceeds in Hezhou together in research and development, and even took a lot of money from the income of those ships at sea. Then this nature becomes for the public, and the public is selfless! Under this big topic, even if you hate it, it will be better, and if it is not good, it will be difficult to speak.

But it's not the time to ask for help.

The monarch and the ministers dispersed, there will be a party, that is in Yujin Garden, watching rice, not only in Yujin Garden, Luzhou also has a test farm, also planting rice, several farms in the north are planting beans and sorghum, through this test, because of the lack of phosphate fertilizer, so the effect of phosphate fertilizer is very large, see how much yield is after the application of phosphate fertilizer to several main crops? But the quantity is not much, the difficulty of extracting the main phosphate fertilizer is too high, the cost is large, and the phosphate fertilizer is not much, only a few hundred catties, and the cost of a catty is almost four dollars.

However, its appearance will subvert everyone's thinking and further realize the importance of physical ethics.

Song Jiu began to wait.

The war dragged on for a long time, and the Hukou soldiers that Song Jiu was worried about did not come out, but something happened in Hunan, and there were not many troops stationed in Tanzhou, and Zhudong transferred some of them to the Southern Tang Dynasty to conquer, and Tanzhou was empty. The leaders of several large tribes in Meishanman thought that the time had come, gathered the people, attacked Shaozhou in the south, attacked Tanzhou in the north, burned and plundered all the way, just like Wang Quanbin's subordinate army, or the Japanese people entered China, and did all kinds of evil.

They didn't come down the mountain to occupy the territory, Zhilu Dao didn't have that ability, it was completely for the sake of burning and killing and robbing the mountain, at this time Tanzhou was developed on a certain scale, hundreds of people in seven counties were killed, and many families worked hard for several years to turn into ashes in the blink of an eye.

grabbed almost the same, and saw Zhu Dong pull back the Hunan soldiers from the Southern Tang Dynasty and retreat back one by one. In this defense battle, only one person performed brilliantly, and that was Li Jilong, not Li Jilong, a young tiger hero, but Li Chuyun's son Li Chulong. He took 300 soldiers to guard Shaozhou, only the Pu knife in his hand, to the junction of Tan and Shao, thousands of Meishan barbarians intercepted his way, Li Jilong led his men to outnumber, the two sides fought fiercely, his men suffered nearly 100 casualties, both hands and feet were poisoned with arrows, still fighting hard, and thousands of barbarians were repelled alive.

This was Meishanman's first "uprising" in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin was furious, but he couldn't be distracted at this time, not to mention the reckless Meishan, if he wanted to go in and sweep, it was usually not easy. So he ordered Zhu Dong to guard Tanzhou, so as not to make trouble, and closed the roads around Meishan, prohibiting the people from trading with it, especially the trade of iron tools. Song Jiu only heard about this matter after a long time, and this kind of ethnic policy will definitely not work. If you want to solve it, one is to suppress it by force, and the other is to appease and educate, otherwise there will be something in the future. Did you send someone to say to them, look, you have harmed so many innocent people, you have robbed many property, women and slaves, but now that the blockade is ongoing, life is getting worse and worse, look at which way of life is cost-effective? Will they calculate?

Everyone's eyes were still on Jinling City.

At this time, there was an incident in Jinling City that made people cry and laugh, the Song army surrounded Jinling City, and Li Yu asked Zhao Kuangyin's old friend Huangfu Hui's son Huangfu Jixun to guard Jinling. One day, Li Yujing was very moved, came to the city, looked at the boundless military camp outside the city, and was shocked to summon Huangfu Jixun and asked what was going on.

It's Song Jun.

I know that Lu Dao is Song Jun, why don't you report to me.

So what's the difference, the northern army is strong, who can be the enemy, I am good for His Majesty, even if the ministers report day and night, it will not help, and the palace will be shocked.

Li Yu completely fainted.

He waved his hand weakly and asked his subordinates to behead Huangfu Jixun and his nephew Li Shaojie together, but an astonishing scene occurred, he issued an edict in front, and the sergeants in the back pounced together, plucking knives and chopping indiscriminately, and it became a pile of meat sauce in an instant. Li Yu asked the reason, and only then did he know the truth of the road. When the Song army came, Huangfu Jixun thought that the Southern Tang Dynasty could not be defeated and wanted Li Yu to surrender, but Li Yu refused. This doesn't matter, when Cao Cao went south, there were also many ministers in Eastern Wu who wanted to surrender. But what is terrible is that Li Yu let him take up the post of guarding the city again.

Therefore, he defended the city cowardly and did not dare to fight, and whenever the Southern Tang army was defeated, he said to people, "Well, I know that the road cannot be won." But not all generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty were like him, some generals were not afraid of death, and the death squad wanted to go out at night to rob the camp, and Huangfu Jixun arrested these people, whipped them, and closed them after the beating.

Li Yu sighed, he didn't reflect on his improper use of people, he only thought that he was unlucky, how could he choose this person to defend the city, fortunately, the Song army did not launch a strong attack. had no choice but to summon Zhu Lingyun from Hukou to send troops to help. Zhu Lingyun asked the generals, and his subordinates said that it was May, and the Yangtze River was large, which was conducive to the dispatch of warships.

Zhu Lingyun shook his head, I want to move forward, the enemy is afraid that after opposing me, if he defeats it, it will not be a big problem, if he is defeated, the grain will be cut off, and the harm will be even deeper. The generals said again, what should I do, I can't sit on an army of 100,000 and wait here.

Zhu Lingyun said that there is a way, you can write a letter to Chai Kezhen, who stayed in Nandu (Hongzhou), and asked him to come to Zhenhukou. That's one way to do it. The letter was sent, and soon the letter was returned, and Chai Kezhen said in the letter that I was sorry, I was sick, very sick, I couldn't even walk, I couldn't take the boat, and I was about to get sick to the point of being terminally ill, so I couldn't help it. So Zhu Lingyun also wrote to Li Yu, no, Your Majesty, there is no one to guard my rear, and I can't send an army.

When his letter arrived, Cao Bin broke 20,000 people of the Southern Tang Dynasty Navy and captured thousands of warships.

However, Jinling City has not yet been taken.

Kaifeng Mansion also played the lawsuits in the capital and the prisons were empty, and there were no prisoners, in fact, this is an auspicious picture. Zhao Kuangyin was worried that it would drag on for a long time and that there would be changes in the north, so he sent Hao Chongxin and Lu Duan to envoy the Khitan. Song Jiu heard it, but because Nantang hadn't taken it yet, he didn't dare to beg Zhao Kuangyin. In fact, at this time, the Khitan also had a big incident, and the Huanglong Mansion guard Yan Po killed the capital eunuch Zhang Ju, and revolted according to the city. The Liao State sent Yelu Haoli to the expedition. But it's not too late, not even in another ten years......

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Song Jiu was waiting for news from the north at home.

Suddenly, a guest came, and Song Jiu asked in surprise: "Hou Zhizhou, aren't you in Zhiyangzhou, how to return to the capital?" ”

His old acquaintance, Hou Zhi, the former official of the Third Division, but the two did not have much intersection. Hou Zhi smiled bitterly: "Jiulang, it's not easy to do, I came to Beijing because of the summons of His Majesty, and I want to ask Jiulang to do me a favor." ”

"Hou Zhizhou, you say, what happened?" Song Jiu was not fooled, so he had to ask clearly.

"I took a little money and attacked my subordinates, and His Majesty summoned me to the capital to question ......" (to be continued......
