Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Gods

Wang Hu took out one of the diaries and asked, "Where is the money?" ”

Song Jiu looked for it in the diary, but fortunately he remembered the date, otherwise he let the three of them flip through it, rummage it together, take out one of them, hand it to Wang Hu, and said, "Wang Zhizhou, look." At the beginning, I said to His Majesty, if you hand over the river island outside the East Water Gate to me, I will pay you more than 4 million yuan in taxes in the next 50 years, but Your Majesty did not believe it. Now I don't dare to believe that not only is there so much tax, but also the capital invested will exceed the total amount of taxes handed over to His Majesty. But as long as it is developed, there is capital. It is not necessary to invest a lot of money from the state to do things, and if there is no money, as long as there is a correct edict, it can also be done. ”

Speaking of this, some worry flashed in Pan Mei's eyes.

Wang Hu looked carefully at the words on the paper.

But Song Jiu couldn't get excited for a while.

He remembers scattered, remembers extensively, and his ideas are a little "wild", this is the idea after the "market research", whether it can be implemented depends on the opinions of these officials in Tanzhou and the opinions of the imperial court, Song Jiu will not care, and he is not qualified to care.

But these ideas are very novel, they can be said to be subversive, not only in agricultural production, but also in commerce, education, mining, and crops, including the national question, and some military things. So the three of them kept asking questions until dawn. The three of them came out with red eyes, and Song Jiu had already become a wilting brother.

Wang Hu asked a few reliable officials to copy it, and some of the contents really couldn't be published regardless of whether they were implemented or not. In the next few days, I kept discussing with Song Jiu. He also made a record, not everything Song Jiu said was right, if that was the case, Song Jiu would definitely become the second Zhao Pu, even better than Zhao Pu. However, I have to admit that some of the ideas are very inflammatory, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee do not know the situation in the south, and it seems that Lu Yuqing is going to be transferred to Chengdu to put out the fire. This original Song Jiu will hand it over to the imperial court, and he has to explain it clearly, those that are controversial, and those that cannot be executed.

Then he persuaded Song Jiu to stay, unlike Ding Deyu, Wang Hu hoped that Song Jiu would really stay. If it is implemented, Hunan's actions will be not small, not only Qin Zaixiong, the big brother who worships the handle, these whimsical ideas were put forward by Song Jiu, and he is more detailed in Wang Hu's heart.

Song Jiu said: "Don't, Wang Zhizhou, I took it if you were kind, you can't put it in Hezhou, it's thousands of dollars, and the country's total income for most of the year." I don't feel at ease with those students, you are very good, better than me. I can only think about how to implement and how to do it, and I can't figure it out. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel that I'm arrogant. ”

Song Jiu didn't agree either.

Wang Hu sighed with admiration: "I am talented, but my temperament is really lazy." ”

Zhao Kuangyi's hatred of iron is not necessarily true, after Wang Hu saw these ideas, he really hated iron and steel.

On the seventh day, a few people let Song Jiu go, Qin Zaixiong also came, the brothers left, Qin Zaixiong wanted to give each other, he was very generous, and gave more than 70 car gifts, including one of the five treasures of traditional Chinese medicine, dense wax, another common medicine talc, Nanbeijiang and Wuling's special spices Linglingxiang, rouge, handicrafts Lanliang calico, Zhijia forging knife, Wushan fir board, fir board is common, but the fir wood produced at the junction of the North and South rivers has a beautiful texture, can make more beautiful fir boards, and other things that the North and South rivers can handle.

These gifts did not go to the capital with Song Jiu, but were loaded on a ship first, and a few barbarians were sent to escort them to the capital by water.

A lot, just loaded with a boat.

Wang Hu said worriedly: "Qin Tingshi, you are kind, but if you don't get it right, you will harm Song Jiulang." ”

There are also officials who accept gifts, but Song Jiu is not Cao Bin, and giving such a valuable gift, if you don't get it right, it will really hurt Song Jiu.

Qin Zaixiong smiled and said, "Wang Zhizhou, why don't I worship brothers with you?" ”

Wang Hu's eyebrows were twisted, thinking to himself that I am a dignified court official, what kind of brother do I worship with you. Qin Zaixiong didn't know what he thought, and continued: "In addition to some spices for Jiulang, some of these gifts are for Jiulang, and some are tributes to the emperor, and the rest are Jiulang's proposal, let me send someone to transport them to the capital, and Jiulang will ask someone to sell them." Regardless of whether you seek profit or not, let the people of the capital take a look at whether my Chenzhou is a wild land. It just so happened that some of Song Jiulang's students graduated, and two more were invited to teach me Chenzhou Erlang's studies. Jiulang had a heart, and Qin was willing to worship his brother. ”

"I see......"

In fact, many scholars in this era read it as a dead idiot, and the sages of the Spring and Autumn Period said a lot earlier, such as this will want to take it, and will want to give it. How can you get a return if you don't give? The master talked more, and maybe they could memorize all kinds of scriptures and meanings well, but when they used them, they forgot them completely.

Qin Zaixiong is not a fool, if Song Jiu hadn't put his mind into it, he could become a brother just by flickering? After Qin Zaixiong finished speaking, he came to Song Jiu, came to a bear hug, and said, "Brother, I don't know when we will meet in this part, Qin misses it in his heart." ”

This is no way, the transportation is inconvenient, unless Qin Zaixiong has the opportunity to go to the capital again, otherwise the two will not even have a chance to meet again.

The two said goodbye, Song Jiu greeted several officials again, and then got on the horse, taking Tsing Yi and two guards to the north.

Song Jiu went all the way north, and news from Sichuan kept coming.

He knew that the Song Dynasty had successfully recovered Sichuan this time, and the details were unknown. Wang Zhaoyuan thought that the Song army only had 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Xing Chongchong led the Houshu army north. Before the army arrived, there was bad news. Wang Quanbin defeated Shi Lan Siwan in Xingzhou, and harvested more than 400,000 Hu military rations, Song Shi is the unit of weight, Hu is the unit of volume, in fact, a Song stone is less than ten buckets, ten buckets is a Hu. That is, to get more than 500,000 stone of grain.

What Hou Shu was most worried about was grain and grass, so much so that Zhao Kuangyi asked Song Jiu if he could build wooden carts, cattle and horses. Song Jiu was speechless after hearing this, that is, if he was him, he could or would be defeated, but he could retreat and burn the grain and grass with a fire. Then the Song army will have a headache for food and grass. Then Wang Quanbin's general Shi Yande defeated the tens of thousands of troops of Han Baozheng, the general of Houshu, with thousands of troops in Shannan, Xingzhou, and obtained more than 300,000 grains. This can't be played, at this time, the Song army wants to have combat effectiveness, brave generals and brave generals, and grain and grass, so the Shu army has to burn the plank road and retire to Jiameng Pass.

The north fought vigorously, and the Song army in the east began to move, Cao Bin's forward, Zhao Kuangyin's association brother Liu Guangyi listened to Zhao Kuangyin's words, broke several villages, and captured more than 200 warships. When he arrived in Kuizhou, he went ashore thirty miles away from Suojiang, broke the state city, and came to the White Emperor City.

Gao Yanyu, the main general of Houshu, said that the northern army came from afar in danger, and it was beneficial to fight quickly, and it was advisable to wait for it with a strong wall. His deputy envoy Zhao Chongji and the supervising army Wu Shouqian disagreed, Wu Shouqian led thousands of people out of the city to fight, was defeated by the Song general Zhang Tinghan, took advantage of the situation to ascend the city, Gao Yanyu climbed the tower and burned the fire**. The White Emperor City was taken, and the gate of Patong was wide open. Wang Quanbin divided his troops into two routes in the north, rebuilding a simple plank road all the way, and attacking from Luochuan Road with the main force all the way. At this time, Wang Zhaoyuan's army was late, and he was defeated in three battles, and Wang Zhaoyuan was so frightened that he fled to Jianmen and closed himself. At this time, Meng Chang regretted that it was too late, and sent the crown prince Yuan Zhe to lead the army to reinforce. Meng Chang is not like words, this son is not like words, the banner is all embroidered, and it rained when the army was released, and he was worried about getting wet, so he ordered it to be relieved. took a luxurious chariot again, with dozens of concubines and servants to follow, and everyone who saw it snickered. He had just arrived in Mianyang, the sword gate had been broken, and Wang Zhaoyuan was captured alive. After hearing this, Yuan Zhe was so frightened that he abandoned the army and fled. Meng Chang was dumbfounded and asked the minister what to do? Li Hao said: "Surrender." ”

Let him say it right, and write a table of surrender for an emperor of Shu. But because of Zhao Kuangyin's holy decree, this line of Song army did a lot of evil, only Cao Bin's subordinates were in good order, and did not slaughter the people, Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to commend him, but he did not prohibit other armies from slaughtering again. There is such a holy purpose, Wang Quanbin, Wang Renzhen, and Cui Yanjin feasted and drank day and night, and allowed their subordinates to do mischief in Sichuan, looting the goods and property of the people's children, burning, killing and looting. Everyone didn't listen, on the contrary, Wang Quanbin's line was about to harvest a lot, and asked Zhao Kuangyin to take advantage of the situation to recover Dali, Zhao Kuangyin used a jade axe to row the Dadu River, and I don't want it from the west.

The problem came, it was more serious than Li Chuyun in Hunan, Zhao Kuangyin immediately ordered Lu Yuqing and Feng Hao to put out the fire, at this time the minister was willing to endure hardships, Lu Yuqing rode a horse, and rushed to Yizhou day and night. Lu Yuqing was immediately executed by this military academy, but it was too late, the Song army did too much evil, the Shu people were not convinced, and pushed the old Shu general Quanshi Xiong to be the commander, and called the Xingguo Army, in just ten days, it developed into a huge army of more than 100,000 people, and soon the people of 17 states responded to the whole division.

Wang Quanbin's sixty-six days of Pingshu may be the fastest Pingshu speed in history, but the new war has just begun.

During the process, Song Jiu didn't hear of the Dao, but the result was that he knew the Dao.

Originally, it had nothing to do with him, but Song Jiu would inevitably think about Zhao Kuangyin's two holy decrees. This trouble, Wang Quanbin is finished, Wang Renzhen is finished, Liu Guangyi is finished, is there really a conspiracy in the middle?

Song Jiu couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it.

The trip to the south, it took four months before and after, there will be a lot of affairs in the capital, Song Jiu returned to his heart like an arrow, all the way non-stop, and quickly rushed to the capital.

When he arrived in the capital, he quickly handed over the seal and quickly took Tsing Yi home.

As usual, the door was open, just in time for the students to finish class, but the people were not in the front yard together, but some voices came from the back yard.

Song Jiu went straight to the backyard from the aisle, and saw that the door of the wing room behind him was also open, and the eldest sister Yuping's master and servant were standing on the side, with several fairy tablets in the middle, and there were two little Taoist priests standing in front of the tablets, and a middle-aged Taoist priest in the middle was holding a peachwood sword, breathing fire while chanting words. A large number of students and two doctors, as well as a dozen tourists, stood in the backyard to watch the excitement.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Song Jiu said.

Seeing Song Jiu coming back, they cheered together.

The eldest sister said: "I just asked Master Zhang to do it for you, pray for safety, Master Zhang said it's okay, you will come back soon." ”

He waved to "Master Zhang" again: "Master Zhang, you are really bright." ”

Song Jiu fainted, what kind of aura, as long as he knows a little bit of the inside story, it is now Yangchun March, and by the middle of March, can he come back? He was promoting science, but he didn't expect theology to be advanced, so he squeezed in, looked at "Master Zhang", and said, "I'm back, please ask Daochang Zhang to leave." ”

"How's that going to work? Master Zhang hasn't drunk his saliva yet. ”

"Eldest sister, you said he breathed fire? It doesn't take much, as long as the study of physical character is learned in the next year, Qin Wazi and they can at least have three ways to breathe fire. Daochang Zhang, please go back. ”

Master Zhang was very displeased, and said: "Jiulang, what are these words, you can insult the poor Dao, don't insult the gods." ”
