Chapter 270: Crisis
Zhou Renjun, who was sitting below, let out a long sigh.
"Zhou Sihu, what's wrong with you?" Song Jiu asked. He is Pan Mei's subordinate official, and Pinglingnan also has some credit, in fact, if it weren't for Liu Gang burning the palace and the treasury, everyone would have credit, from levy to governance, wouldn't that person be used as two people?
Pan Mei said: "His Majesty issued an edict to Zhou Renjun as the crown prince to Yunzhi Qiongzhou, and to Zhenwan'an with Danya. ”
This is the official of Zhengsipin, the biggest boss on Hainan Island, and I am afraid that it is also the first time in history that the central power of the Central Plains has openly settled on Hainan Island instead of a court official appointed by derogatory. However, as soon as Zhou Renjun went to South Island, when he couldn't find a suitable candidate, most of them died of old age on Hainan Island.
If he was Zhou Wei, it would be better, but Zhou Renjun was from Ruyang, Henan. Song Jiudao: "Zhou Zhizhou, I'll accompany you to Qiongzhou Island to have a look." ”
Zhou Renjun was still silent.
Song Jiu said again: "Zhou Zhizhou, if you turn Qiongzhou Island into a garden and a sea of money and silver, can the imperial court stay on Qiongzhou Island for the rest of your life?" ”
There are two results, one gets worse, Zhou Renjun will be transferred, but the result will be miserable. The other is to become better and better, the court sees that there is money, food and soldiers, plus Zhou Renjun has won the hearts of the people, and across a strait, it will definitely be uneasy, and Zhou Renjun can be transferred back.
Zhou Renjun's eyes lit up and said, "I need manpower." ”
"Say, you need those people." Pan Mei Dao. His right-hand man went to Hainan Island and Pan Mei also lamented it.
Zhou Renjun successively said the names of Luo Chongcan's four Southern Han officials, all of whom were first-class Southern Han officials. Luo Chongcan is still the magistrate of Song Jiu's subordinates, and he is also Song Jiu's right-hand man, proficient in water conservancy, charity and love for the people, Song Jiu was stunned and said: "Zhou Zhizhou, you really know how to pick people." ”
Zhou Renjun said: "I also asked for some money, and then transferred twenty students and dozens of old farmers over, this is borrowed, Song Jiu, Qiongzhou hundreds of thousands of acres." It's up to you to toss. ”
Pan Mei said: "I'm approved." However, if you choose four puppet Han officials as the four governors of Qiongzhou, you must report to the imperial court for permission. ”
"It's not a big problem, Your Majesty once said to the prime minister that there is no need to kill the official. And Ling Renjun chose a pseudo-official. Because of its vulgarity. ”
"Good. How much are you going to ask? ”
"At least 200,000 yuan of ......money," Zhou Renjun said, and many good officials in the south now regard money as honey, but this money is different from the money of most officials. If you don't have money, you can't develop it, and if you use it for development, you have to put it in your own pocket, and he said: "But I only need some money, the rest into farming tools, and some gunpowder." ”
"You have a big appetite." Song Jiu smiled bitterly.
"Who made Qiongzhou Island a backward and barbaric place, I have to build at least a few simple roads when I go up, and recruit some native soldiers, otherwise how can my decree be passed? There are also some water conservancy, and a few ports will be repaired, which will not cost money? ”
"Xiao Jiu, you squeeze it a little more, Renjun is right." Pan Mei said again: "Xiao Jiu, Mrs. Mo sent a brocade to Li'er. ”
After speaking, he respectfully took out a piece of Guangjin and handed it to Song Jiu.
began to make this Mo Qian cry and laugh, and only heard some things about her later, after she was separated from Zhou Wei, she also took two children, and her mother persuaded her to remarry, Mo said that I believe that the officials will be able to come back to meet me. Then waited in the south for twenty-six years, during which he also boiled out his two sons to start a family, and Zhou Wei finally came back. Song Jiu was half respectful, half emotional, and asked a group of literati to compile this story into a drama and sing it in the theater. Zhao Kuangyin heard about it from somewhere, and gave him two sons.
Song Jiu thought for a while and said, "It's really not good, let's squeeze it again." ”
Then he got down to business: "Two generals, it's better for us to fight each other." ”
"It's not proper, it's too far away, the people are wild and chaotic, and they can't be cured." Pan Mei immediately refused.
"It's not appropriate, although last year His Majesty was furious because of the title of Jiaozhi, and sent an envoy to reprimand him, this year the Ding family sent an envoy to repair the tribute, which is not in line with the way of crusade."
Before the Southern Han Dynasty, the Song Dynasty also noticed the existence of this small country, and sent envoys to Jiaozhi from the sea, and the Ding tribe was named the king of Jiaozhi County, so as to divide the relationship between the Southern Han Dynasty and Jiaozhi, and secretly support Jiaozhi to grow. Song Jiu didn't know. It is really strong, and the Ding Department leads the unification of the twelve envoys, that is, the emperor's throne, and is honored as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Build the capital in Hualu City, dig the pond, raise the palace, formulate the court ceremony, place a hundred officials, adopt the year name, determine the rank of the military monks, and carry out the ten military systems.
After Pan Mei pacified the Southern Han Dynasty, the Hunan soldiers were sent back together, unable to conquer the south again, and reported the matter to Zhao Kuangyin, who sent an envoy to issue a letter of responsibility: Zhongxia is to the barbarians, and the Jews have limbs. Erjiaozhou, far away at the end of the day, the Tang season is difficult, and it is not far away. Today, the Holy Dynasty covers all countries, and the cause of peace has also been completed. You don't have to go to the corner, for my small trouble, so that I can use Tuer to chase after me for the sake of breaking the knots.
Ding was so frightened that he got the letter of state at the end of the year, and immediately sent an envoy to the Song capital, and deliberately apologized to Pan Mei when he passed through Lingnan.
"General Yin, have they removed the title of emperor?"
"No, if you want to cut down, please manage Yongxi smoothly, and I will allow you to make this suggestion." Pan Mei Dao.
"It's a cut, not an occupation, although the envoy is sent to apologize, but the people are not really convinced, the southerners build more sea boats, and soon they will go out of the water, if they send light cavalry to feint on the border, waiting for the opportunity to enter the inland river from the sea, summer and autumn is the time when the inland river water is the highest."
"The Battle of the White Tengjiang River?"
"General Yin, the war example can not be replicated, just Zhou Zhizhou went to Qiongzhou, Yazhou has a natural port, in Guangzhou in the name of fighting piracy for the training of the navy, and then in the name of fighting piracy to go to sea, the ship to Yazhou, the first to send a small boat to carry warriors in the name of business, anchored at the mouth of the river, once the enemy perceived, set up a sharp stake at the mouth of the river, the warriors on the boat killed, the navy stationed. In the name of the emperor, Ding Bu took advantage of the waterway to take advantage of the water to carry his money and silk on large and small ships, not only I have a ship, but also many fishing boats and merchant ships in Jiaozhi, and I want to concentrate and return to Guangzhou. ”
There are many reasons for the failure of the Southern Han Dynasty to conquer Jiaozhi. Moreover, due to the domestic situation, it was impossible to levy it again. At this time and that time, at this time, Lingnan is Pan Mei or Yin Chongke, no matter which one of them, his command ability is far better than Liu Hongcao's ten times. Even in terms of real command ability, even if Di Qing is here, he may not be as good as Pan Mei.
Thinking of this, Song Jiu suddenly understood why the literati later scandalized Pan Mei and Di Qing, because the two were both civil and military, and they were military generals, but they were no less than civil officials in governance. They proved that a military commander could be a loyal servant. This is not good, it must be discredited......
Thinking about the appearance of these scholars, Song Jiu was speechless.
The two of them heard that Song Jiu meant to do the work of a robber. Very exciting.
The fact that they also did not put the cochin in their eyes. It's just that there are no soldiers and no money. It's not easy to treat, so the two have never been interested in cochin. The saddest battle of the Song Dynasty did not end well, and it also dispelled the confidence of the generals to expand their territory.
However, grab it and go. I gave a warning again, and I can still do it.
The rest has nothing to do with Song Jiu, Pan Yin and the others began to discuss, and Song Jiu couldn't interject if he wanted to.
Zhou Renjun did not object, whether it was a military general or a civil servant, several generals and courtiers of the Song Dynasty who went south at this time were all militants. Therefore, more than 20,000 barbarian soldiers can't capture a Yongzhou city, and Fan Yu is also a militant!
This also needs to be carefully prepared.
The navy must be trained and the intelligence work must be prepared. Of course, if the conditions do not allow, it is still not possible to send troops.
Song Jiu and Zhou Renjun went to Hainan Island together, Song Jiu took Zhou Renjun and his party more seriously, the south was scary, not to mention the overseas islands. If Zhou Renjun does well, it could be a precursor to a major policy change......
The soldiers were treacherous, and Quang Nam was preparing in secret, but there was no sign on the outside.
The Yellow River had another accident, and it was still Lanzhou. The reason is very simple, Song Jiu's model can be seen, the terrain of Lanzhou is low, and the terrain at both ends of the Yellow River is relatively high, and the east is through the mountainous areas, so the embankment is mostly broken from here. That is to say, the Yellow River itself wants to find a better outlet to the sea, it can only be found from Lanzhou, all the way to Cangzhou, the capital of the Daimyo, all of which are relatively low-lying places.
And this year, the rain and flood came early, and May came, and the heavy rain did not stop. Zhao Kuangyin was forced to send Cao Han to send 50,000 people to Saidi. Song Jiu said the principle, but Zhao Kuangyin was suspicious and asked the prime ministers: "The rain does not stop, I work hard day and night, and I don't know what to do, is it because there is something wrong with the current politics?" ”
Zhao Pu had no choice but to say: "Since Your Majesty came to the palace, he has been diligent in his affairs, he must go if there is a disadvantage, and he must do what he hears. ”
Zhao Kuangyin was silent for a while, and said: "I think about it, I'm afraid it's a claustrophobic person in the harem, yesterday I ordered to check the harem, and there were more than 380 eunuchs and palace maids, so I told them that they were willing to go home, and they said their reasons and feelings, and got more than 150 people, and I generously sent them home." ”
Zhao Pu and other ministers praised goodness.
That is, there are only more than 230 eunuchs and palace maids in this harem.
The palace of the Song Dynasty is not big, but it is the palace in the end, such a big place must have eunuchs to pass the decree, to clean, to wash and cook, to prepare palace banquets, although the palace maids and eunuchs are inhumane, but this number can not be less.
It can be regarded as a benevolent government, as the harem of the Great Unification Dynasty, these eunuchs and palace maids can be said to have broken the record. However, the front was repatriated, and the Yellow River was decided by the Daimyofu in the back, and the prefectures of Henan and Hebei were all flooded, and they did not suffer from the river ruin, but all of them suffered from serious waterlogging.
Zhao Kuangyin thought nonsense again, didn't I do a good job, so he issued an edict prohibiting the people of Guangnan from picking sea pearls, whether it was for civilian or official use, they were not allowed to do so, and many people would die.
Then the previous edict showed that the Yellow River was decided in Yangwu County, the upper Bianshui was decided in Zhengzhou, and the lower Bianshui was decided in Songzhou.
Zhao Kuangyi whispered: "Brother Huang, go and see that model." ”
You can't think about God, you can't be more benevolent, the more angry God is, there is no reason for that.
The two brought it to Zhongshu, Zhao Pu also had a headache for the Yellow River, he was the prime minister, and the task was heavier when there was a disaster, so he summoned Song Jiu to discuss four times for this Yellow River. Song Jiu didn't say anything, but let the little officials send a few more models one after another, the first model is the Yellow River diverted from Lanzhou into Cangzhou, the second model is after the terrain of Hebei is raised, from the Huang into Ji, the third model is to spoil Jishui and Dayozawa, from the east of Kaifeng into the Huai River.
It is not a big problem for the model to be placed in the middle book, but if it really appears, even if it appears once, it will be a big disaster.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at this model and asked, "Zeping, so far there is no good solution?" ”
"Lao Chen can't think that if the flood is diverted and discharged, the river will be slow, the sediment will be more severe, and the harm will be more severe than now. Or slow down the sediment, Your Majesty, so that the people of Shaanxi can not plow or plant? ”
Zhao Kuangyin also rubbed his head, he felt that the Tang Dynasty was very bad, leaving a lot of messes for him, such as the dictatorship of military generals, such as this Yellow River.
The two walked out of the Chinese book, and Zhao Kuangyi said: "Brother Huang, the new cement comes out, and the edict encourages the people to use bricks and stones to build houses, they are also beautiful and gorgeous, although the cost is slightly expensive, but it is not as easy to catch fire as wooden houses." The royal brother can set an example and build a palace with bricks and stones in the palace. Furthermore, the people were encouraged to use coal and honeycomb coal. Ask Song Jiu again and ask him how those farms are. Then the cement and sand in the upper reaches of the Yellow River can be partially alleviated. Otherwise, the state cannot afford to pay for disaster relief alone. ”
The solution is a good way, but Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a while and said, "I'll discuss it later." ”
Zhao Kuangyi thought of Zhao Pu's timber business, didn't say any more, and disappeared gorgeously.
Cao Han plugged the Yellow River breach.
But with so many people and so many victims waiting to be fed, the big problem came.
Last year, the disaster was relieved, and today the scale of the disaster relief is even larger, and the major countries want to relax taxes, and the tax and grain will be reduced, Chu Zhaofu came to report: "Your Majesty, the northern warehouses can only be supplied until February next year, please let the forbidden soldiers return to their hometowns to eat, and then let the officers and soldiers gather all the civilian ships together and go to Jianghuai to transfer grain, otherwise it will ...... next spring."
It can still survive for half a year, if it is a previous year, it doesn't matter if it takes half a year, there is an autumn harvest.
In the first half of this year, it can be fatal, although Jianghuai has improved, it is not the key target of the state's grain tax, and Henan, Hebei, and Shandong still have more grain than Jianghuai. However, all the north was flooded, and after the autumn, instead of collecting grain, grain was sent. That is to say, the Jianghuai tax grain can only meet the relief grain of the common people. Then in February next year, nearly a million soldiers and civilians in the capital drank the northwest wind together. (To be continued......)
