"It's the Taiyuan city wall."

Song Jiu thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, mentioning the Taiyuan city wall, Weichen suddenly thought of a battle in the Tang Dynasty, Shi Siming besieged Taiyuan City, Li Guangbi sent people to dig tunnels, leading to the outside of the city, and then supported it with wooden supports below, deliberately surrendered with all the food, and waited until Shi Siming's army came to greet him on the day of the surrender, and pulled out the wooden supports, thousands of rebels fell into the ground, Li Guangbi took advantage of the rebels' panic, the three armies attacked, killing tens of thousands of rebels. This time is very long, so Weichen ponders that the underground will be very dry, which is convenient for digging tunnels. But when Weichen went down for the cow, passed through several counties in the east of the river, saw that the rivers were turbulent, and the edge of Taiyuan City was Fenshui, if the Northern Han people were prepared, the moat was dug wide and deep, and the water level was suspended no matter how large, it was not the capital to protect the dragon river, the water flow was calm, and it was not easy to throw soil and fill the river. If you can't fill the river, you can't dig the tunnel, and the gunpowder can't be sent under the city walls to work. ”

"This damn Liu Jiye."

"Yang Chongxun's brother Yang Ye?"

"It's him, he sent his subordinates to re-dredge the moat of Taiyuan City as you said."

"How did Your Majesty think of Taiyuan City?"

The truth Zhao Kuangyin did not say.

Liu Jun is critically ill, Liu Jien serves day and night, and no trick works, this trick is the most effective, such as Cao Cao's son Cao Pi, Cao Cao travels, Cao Zhi writes poems and writes, and the sky is messy, but he can't fight Cao Pi A few tears. Another example is Tang Gaozong Li Zhi. So Liu Jun had already made up his mind, and before his death, he held Guo Wuwei's hand, entrusted the future, and hoped that Guo Wuwei would become Zhuge Liang of the Northern Han Dynasty, and said many sad words. Guo Wuwei was also very sentimental at that time, he came down from Wudang Mountain and first defected to Guo Wei. Guo Wei kicked him away, and it was Liu Chong who received him. In the hands of Liu Jun, it is more reused. This is the grace of knowledge.

Originally, this drama was done very well, but in a blink of an eye, Guo Wuwei saw that there was some flickering in Liu Jien's eyes. The kindness of the Liu family has disappeared again. Under the persuasion of Zhao Kuangyin's two high-ranking spies, he finally decided to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

The three of them jointly wrote a letter and sent their subordinates to secretly send the letter to Kaifeng City, saying that although Liu Jien is Liu Jun's adopted son, it is not the blood of the Liu family, which is also not true, but although Liu Jien has the blood of the Liu family, it is from his mother and cannot be counted, so the ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty may not be convinced. As long as the Song Dynasty sends troops. They were able to persuade Liu Jien to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

When Zhao Kuangyin saw this letter, he made an analysis in his mind, and there were two conditions, one is that as Guo Wuwei said, the blood is not pure, which is different from Chai Rong, Guo Wei has no brothers, and even Chai Rong's relatives were killed by Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty, even so. was also harassed by Feng Dao. Think about Liu Jun's wolf-like brothers. Moreover, Guo Wuwei has been a minister for many years, and he has also laid a huge force in the Northern Han Dynasty. Therefore, it may be possible to obtain the Northern Han at a very small price, so why not. After receiving the letter, he first ordered Lu Huaizhong to lead 22 troops to Luzhou. In order to prepare for the expedition to the Northern Han Dynasty at any time.

However, the city wall of Taiyuan was damned...... Afraid of accidents, he came to Song Jiu's house to ask this question.

Song Jiuhu looked at Zhao Kuangyin suspiciously, could it be that he really changed his strategy of first south and then north. Want to do something to the Northern Han?

The Northern Han was not a big problem, and there was also the Khitan.

It cannot be said that the cavalry is a total kill against the infantry. There are too many examples of infantry breaking cavalry in Chinese history, but Liu Yu is in a moon battle. Meng Tian broke the Xiongnu, Xie Xuanbeifu soldiers in the field battle against the Northern Wei cavalry also had a good record, the most tragic time was Li Ling, led 5,000 infantry from Juyanhai to the north for 30 days to arrive at Junji Mountain (Mongolian Gobi Altai Mountain), and the Xiongnu Shan Yu 30,000 people encountered, killed thousands of people. Shan gathered reinforcements in shame and anger, a total of 80,000 cavalry. Sixteen to one! Li Ling had no choice but to fight and retreat, because he was an infantry, his speed was slow, and he couldn't get rid of Shan Yu's army. Dozens of fierce battles along the way, killing tens of thousands of Hun cavalry before and after, retreating to the Khan Mountain (Mongolian Puyan Bogdo Mountain), running out of ammunition and food, defeated and captured. Before the capture, Li Ling said that as long as one more person is given ten arrows, we can support the border.

Also, Li Mu broke the Hu soldiers, mainly infantry, supplemented by cavalry, which is very similar to the current Song army.

But in general, cavalry has an absolute advantage over infantry, cavalry.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Song Jiu, you are thinking about your Youzhou first, and then the Northern Han." No, the Khitan should not be taken lightly, once the two countries are consumed in Youzhou, the consequences are unimaginable, it is a good thing for your academy to set up martial arts, but it seems that teaching in your hands can only mislead people's children, and I will send a few veterans to guide in the future. ”

Zhao Kuangyin does not interfere in the study of physical character, this martial arts will not work, and I don't know how much Zhao Kuo will be endangered by Song Jiu's teaching.

"Your Majesty, this is the best......" Song Jiudao was not too happy, these old guys came over, maybe they would make the academy into a miasma, thought about it and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been thinking about one thing, the academy will be established in the future, and there must be a mountain chief." It's better to ask Your Majesty to come down and be the chief of this mountain. ”

"It's not proper, I don't have time to teach my son," Zhao Kuangyin said, that is not a proper system.

"No, as long as the school starts or after graduation, His Majesty comes down and talks, these students will become the disciples of the Son of Heaven, not Weichen students, not Dr. Zhang Yan's students, but students under His Majesty. Then they will be able to serve the country more loyally in the future. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was very moved.

To be honest, if it weren't for the students from this school, once it was a college, there were many students enrolled, and they were all under Song Jiu's name, although Song Jiu didn't want to make progress, it was not very good. Song Jiu saw it, and faintly verified his judgment, Zhao Kuangyin's heart was not too vicious, which had to be admitted, but the suspicion was still relatively heavy, so he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen dares to invite the first and second deputy mountain chiefs again." Mianzhou Tong sentenced Liang Zhouhan to be the first deputy mountain chief, and Yicheng ordered Zhu Ang to be the second deputy mountain chief. ”

The two are famous in literature, it is said that Liang Zhouhan can write words at the age of ten, and Gao Xiliu Kaifan Gao is called Gao Liang Liufan, originally Zhao Kuangyin was going to use it as a knowledge system, Yu Shi Shouxin, Shi Shouxin notified Liang Zhouhan in advance, the kid was excited to express his gratitude, Zhao Kuangyin was furious, and was demoted again and again, and now he is demoted to Meizhou to do a small sentence. Zhu Ang is not small, the great Confucian Zhu Zundu is good at reading, and he is called Zhu Wanjuan, but Zhu Zundu is a small Wanjuan. The two have a great reputation, but they can not do much in the officialdom, maybe they will do something in the future, or they may not, but they are excellent candidates to serve as the deputy mountain chief. And they came because of fame. Song Jiu could only obediently be the third deputy mountain chief.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Song Jiu.

Song Jiudao: "Only in this way can we cancel Weichen's imprint in the academy." The school house is the school house of Wechen, including the house is Wechen's. But the academy is not the Taiyi Academy, they are independent of the world, this academy cultivates officials, but also the country's ministers, if you carry a personal brand, it must be under His Majesty, not that minister or Confucian. The state needs the master's learning, but it does not need a second master. Just like Haotian, there can only be one round of sun. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was silent.

Song Jiu was too self-conscious. made him embarrassed to agree, and Song Jiu said again: "It's not a micro-minister, but a law for future generations." ”

"I used a lot of money to compile these books, right?" It is best that as soon as the Song army arrives, Guo Wuwei will settle things and easily take back the Northern Han. If not, you can only send someone to see if you can fill in the moat of Taiyuan City. If you can't fill it in. Song Jiu also can't bring out the power of gunpowder, and Taiyuan City will give people a headache. If you ask the answer, it is not the answer. Changing the subject, he asked, looking at the manuscript.

"It took a lot of money. However, Wechen also has a profit on the other side, and I teamed up with my two uncles in May and sent someone to bring some mirrors. Go to Wuyue, Fujian and Guangzhou, and sell mirrors to Fanzi. There is no news from Fujian and Guangzhou, but there is news from Hangzhou. The two stewards sold more than 80,000 mirrors. He got more than 30,000 yuan. It should be able to maintain the expenses of the micro-ministers. But it's not too ideal. ”

I didn't have long since I came back, when I went there was a light boat, the speed was fast, I arrived in Hangzhou in a month, and I began to look for business, in fact, it was not as much as Song Jiu imagined, so although it was a rare thing, the profit was not as much as Song Jiu imagined.

There are more than 800 mirrors, and the woolen ones are only sold for more than 50,000 yuan, which is not expensive, and one pair of mirrors is not enough. Then you have to rent a boat to go south to Quanzhou Guangzhou, the rental fee is not too high, or a small boat, only dozens of materials, the main thing is fast, light, and even can run against the wind. But mirrors also have costs, and taxes also have to be paid. Four seagoing ships cost nearly 8,000 more dollars. This calculation only made a profit of more than 30,000 yuan. And it's still half divided between two families.

But there will be, the stewards and students quickly brought the money back to the capital in a fast boat, the main thing in the hands of the merchants is gold and silver, light and easy to bring, it is not what Song Jiu imagined, the people are doing business, and the proportion of exports is large, that is, the trade is on the other side, and Wu Yue is the importing country. Therefore, they have a large number of copper coins and cloths in their hands, and the fine cloths are to be brought back for big food, and the inferior ones are not very happy to ask for them, or to buy other goods to go back, and the copper coins are not interested. So he gave these cloths and copper coins to the steward as currency. So when he went there two ships were empty, when he came two ships were full, and he hired a boat. Otherwise, it will be faster.

Spice Hezhou is also operated, but it is not operated by Song Jiu, and it is handed over to other stewards to deal with, and the two stewards go down with thousands of mirrors, and the high-grade glaze is not brought, and there is also a big food over there, and it is still mainly profiteering at the moment.

Song Jiu didn't hide it, I believe that if he can hide it from Zhu Yanei, he will definitely not be able to hide it from Zhao Kuangyin. But it's really not too ideal, the Pan family brothers are enough, and Song Jiu is far from enough. Song Jiu didn't mention this matter, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen will show you a good thing." ”

As soon as Song Jiu mentions good things, they are good things. Zhao Kuangyin followed Song Jiu to the outside of the city to see those cotton fields.

Mainly to test the test, for the time being, I can't take care of it, there are not many seeds, only six or seven acres of fields, Song Jiu has seen it, but I don't understand it, so I divided it into more than a dozen small pieces, do different tests, such as nutrition bowl seedlings, he has also heard of it, but I don't know what is the nutrition bowl, some use the bamboo tube to make the nutrient bowl, some use the paper tube to make the nutrient bowl, and then try to test the amount of fertilizer, the type of fertilizer, the three fertilizer soil resolutely do not use, the people can not afford it, they can only use the farmhouse fertilizer and plant ash to do the test, and then try to test the number of acres of plants, The number of low acres is only 1,000 or 000 plants, and the high ones can reach 5,000 plants. Then from the two or three pieces of the highest yield, further tests will be carried out in the coming year. Anyway, there's no rush, you can take your time. After a few years, the planting method was tested, and the seeds adapted to the evolution, so they could be promoted to the people.

It's not too ideal, but this is what Song Jiu expected.

Song Jiu picked a cotton peach and said: "Your Majesty, it is it, if the textile machine can be researched and successfully evolved, it will bring earth-shaking changes to the entire north, such as this cotton wool, use it to make bedding, the people will not be cold in winter, if it is used to make cotton clothes, soldiers can not be afraid of the cold and hardships of the north." There is also its yield, but also better than the silkworm several times, an acre of mulberry silkworm can only take one pound of silk, and it can take six to seventy pounds of cotton wool, is fifty times that of silk. This year is a test of the test, not too much, the sturdy cottonseed will be left to do extra-seed, the lint can be 100 catties, when the time comes, Weichen will make a few quilts, send a few beds to His Majesty. ”

Zhao Kuangyin watched it for most of the day, and the money that Song Jiu earned was a trivial matter, mainly because of food and clothing. After the most lu, I brought a few cotton peaches back.

The next day, Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict, with Li Jixun as the commander of the army in front of the Hedong camp, that is, the commander, Dang Jin as the deputy marshal, Cao Bin as the capital supervisor, He Jiyun as the vanguard, Kang Yanze's eldest brother Kang Yannuan as the capital supervisor, and then Zhao Zan as the Fenzhou Road deployment, that is, the commander of the second road army, Si Chao deputy marshal, and Li Qianpu as the capital supervisor. Several generals were all brave generals of the Song Dynasty, and let them lead the two armies to Taiyuan.

Then another edict was issued, and Einstein, a Westerner, was honored. Zhao Kuangyin once asked Song Jiu about the details of his husband, but Song Jiu couldn't say clearly, and he didn't even know which country he was, so he had to crown a Westerner in front. Seeing cotton yesterday made Zhao Kuangyin miss Einstein very much......

Song Jiu didn't care too much, even if he was crowned a national duke, it didn't matter, a virtual character. But he is still suspicious in his heart, he really sent troops to Hedong. It seems that Zhao Kuangyin did not take Hedong in history. I don't know if Lu Dao will succeed this time. (To be continued......)
