Chapter 255: Two Zhizhou (I)
Pan Mei asked in a harmonious voice, "What is your husband's name?" ”
He didn't have any hope in his heart, where to look. Yuping found her father, it was her father who became the official of the Khitan, otherwise she would not have been able to find it. As for the readers, there are not too many readers in the world.
Mo Qian said: "Husband, his name is Zhou Wei. ”
"Zhou Wei?" Pan Mei was shocked and said, "Say his words." ”
"The word husband is a minister."
"It turned out to be Mrs. Zhou, please get up quickly." Pan Mei hurriedly said.
Lianzhou people, and scholars, there is only one person, that is the Song official Zhou Wei, the Song Dynasty was founded, Zhou Wei fled to the city of Tokyo, and wrote a book to state current affairs with a fluke mentality, Zhao Kuangyin looked at his strategy and thought it was good. You can't rely on a strategy to give him a high-ranking official right away, there is a process of grinding and observing. Just like Song Jiu, who has made so many contributions and has been grinding for so many years, he can only be regarded as the fourth in command in the army now. It happened that the spring of this year began, and he was first asked to participate in the imperial examination. didn't hit, only a few people were admitted, this hit rate is too low, one is talent, the second is luck, and the third is that there have to be someone behind. Zhao Kuangyin still used it, gave him the same Jinshi background, awarded the Baima County Lord, and moved to Yongji Zhixian County because of his political achievements, Xingzhou Tongju, and Dizhou Zhizhou. With an exile-like figure and a strategy, he rose step by step and became a dignified Zhizhou, and he was a well-known figure in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. It can't be compared with Pan Mei yet. However, she is Zhizhou's wife, so she can't be asked to kneel anymore.
"The people don't dare to be a girl."
"Dare to be, if your husband has no accident, he has served as the governor of our dynasty."
"Zhizhou...... This one, who became a Zhizhou, didn't send anyone to pick me up. Mo Zhen burst into tears. How hard it is to live with a child.
Pan Mei was at a loss, even if he didn't care about his identity. Degraded Qu Gui to go down to the court to comfort, and there is also a suspicion of men and women. He couldn't be shocked like he did with ordinary people, so he called a servant and asked him to call Song Jiu to the back.
The distance between the two was not very far, Song Jiu quickly brought it over, Pan Mei told the situation, and said, "Xiao Jiu, you should come to this matter." ”
Song Jiu walked down the court and whispered, "What about Zhizhou?" If he is the governor of the pseudo-Han. Eight times out of ten will be castrated, sister-in-law, do you want to? ”
It worked, and Mo didn't cry immediately.
Song Jiu said again: "Sister-in-law, it's not what you think, I'm Song Jiu, not a good official, I like to come nonsense, and I don't follow the rules." Compared to Zhou Zhizhou, I am far behind. ”
Mo Shi stopped crying, and looked at Song Jiu in surprise, his husband was better than this god-like good official?
Song Jiu continued: "If it's me. If you have money in your hands and someone who is unruly, no matter whether it is the Southern Han or the Khitan, you will definitely send someone to look for it. ”
Wang Ming also came out. He glanced at Pan Mei and shook his head. In fact, Song Jiu did just that, and said to the emperor. Your ban on commerce doesn't work, and there are countless dealers who smuggle goods across the border, and then openly buy the game that comes to the Khitan. The concubine's father was in Khitan, and a big bag and a small bag of gifts were sent over there, and Yan Chen knew that he didn't pay attention to the subtleties, so he simply pretended not to hear it, and there was no impeachment.
Song Jiu said again: "He is an honest official, one has no money, two has no one, and three abides by the rules. ”
Speaking of this, he muttered: "Sister-in-law, returning to his hometown is a great thing in life, do you want him to return to Lingnan to be a big official." ”
"Will it be castrated?"
"No...... Yes. Song Jiu almost suffocated to death, and said: "You get up first, I will send someone to pick up your child immediately, and then send someone to write a recital and notify your family officials." ”
Let the official take the woman down, and then say to Pan Mei and Wang Ming: "What if Zhou Wei is transferred to Lingnan?" ”
It was the product of his brilliance.
Now is the era of human rule, and if you want a place to be good, you must have good officials. Maybe there were good officials in the Southern Han Dynasty, but they were forced to do so in the Liu Gang era, and they became Pei Ju in the Song Dynasty. But this is extremely unlikely. If you want to be a good official, you have to transfer from the north.
But he may not be able to get any good officials, and he has regarded Lingnan as a place of exile since ancient times. Especially in Lingnan, there is still a situation where good things are also bad things, that is, business is developed.
Lingbei business to the national capital, will be summoned to boast of its wealth, this is what the previous generation of the Southern Han Dynasty did, boasting to Chai Rong, we are richer than your Zhou Dynasty, Chai Rong is a variety of reasons, but he is angry to call Liu Sheng Xiao Nanqiang, which is also one of the reasons to boast to him.
Every time I see a northerner, I praise the strength of the mountains and seas. Not only to the back Zhou, but also to the Southern Tang Dynasty, in fact, not as rich as the Southern Tang Dynasty, but because of the developed navigation industry, resulting in developed commerce, the rich people were richer than the rich people in the Southern Tang Dynasty. This is a good thing, with a developed business, the economy of this region can be revitalized. In the hands of Liu Gang, even the business is gradually destroyed, but the foundation is still there.
There are also many disadvantages, the people have a strong idea of worshipping money, and the moral foundation has declined. There is also the official, if it is not a good official, it is easy to get lost and degenerate in this environment.
In the worst weather, ordinary northerners may not be able to adapt to the south. Maybe as soon as summer arrives, Song Jiu will be sad. Pan Mei and the others are a little better, they have stayed in Hunan for a long time, and there is not much difference in summer. But the entire Lingnan officialdom can't take it, only these few people are a little more capable and a little more relieved, but how to take care of the vast 60 Lingnan prefectures and 240 counties? Zhou Wei is just right, the official is not big or small, and he is from Lianzhou, he is not afraid of heat and hardship, and he can ask the court to transfer to the south. Moreover, this person is a tough and honest official, not only Pan Mei heard of his name, but Song Jiu also heard about it.
Pan Mei said: "This person is really good. ”
Wang Ming also nodded, there is no shortage of officials, there is a lack of good officials who can rest assured, first of all, there are several people who are in charge of the overall situation of Lingnan, and there are many clerks accompanying him, but they are either incompetent, or their ability is insufficient, or their qualifications are too shallow to be useful. There are only a few people who can come in handy, and Pan Yin and the others are good at martial arts, and their cultural governance is slightly inferior, so counting, there are only four people, Wang Fan and Zhu Xian and Song Jiu. Where is enough, not only is it in charge of Lingnan, but also several large states must be controlled, Guangzhou, Shaozhou, Chaozhou, Guizhou, Yongzhou, so that at least ten officials who can come to the stage must be sent to maintain this stall. Who wants to come? Even if they hadn't had to do this and were ready to clean up the mess, they wouldn't want to stay in Lingnan. Including Song Jiu.
"Southerners, incorruptible. Capable of it, Xiao Jiu. Where can I find it? Wang Ming shook his head and asked.
Song Jiu thought of the two of them, one was Liang Yansi, a Yang Ye-style character, who persuaded Gao Jichong to donate the soil, the Song Dynasty wanted to swallow it, Jing Nan didn't have the strength to resist, and if he met early, he could end up with a good end, Gao Jichong didn't listen, so he would fight. In the battle with Murong Yanzhao, he was defeated, Zhao Kuangyin thought that he was loyal and trusting, and served as the commander of the former army and infantry army in Hunan, and then moved to Haozhou as the defense envoy. But the man had just died. It's talent, and it's suitable, but it can't be used. There is also a person, Zhou Xingfeng's number one strategist, Li Guanxiang. Zhou Xingfeng was cruel and killed, and he persuaded him to observe the phenomenon, and he was self-motivated. Zhou Xingfeng entrusted the future before his death and became Hunan's orphan minister. The Song army came. Li Guanxiang persuaded Zhou Baoquan and said, what we hold is Jinghu, and we think it is lip and tooth. Gao's surrender to orders, we must not be alone. It's better to return to the dynasty with a scarf, and you won't lose your wealth. Zhou Baoquan didn't understand. Others don't agree with him, Li Guanxiang is not Guo Wuwei, if you don't agree, just fight. Zhao Kuangyin used it as a left supplement.
This person is still alive, but his ability is too strong, and Zhao Kuangyin may not be able to rest assured that he will be placed in the south.
And then I couldn't think of it.
In fact, it is good to think of a Zhou Wei, at this time, from chaos to governance, not only in Lingnan, but everywhere there is a shortage of talents.
Several people began to gather to discuss, and Song Jiu said the plan. The situation in Lingnan is even more special, especially in the barbarian area.
Men in this era are the happiest, not to mention machismo everywhere, such as the Song Dynasty, if there is a profit, even don't worry about the marriage money, the woman rushes out, if it looks good, it will be packaged, it can cheat the dowry money, deceive the family and then divorce, and then cheat after leaving. The Song Dynasty was still civilized, and the women of the party could do everything inside and outside, and such a capable woman also obeyed her husband's command. But not yet as happy as the barbarians in some parts of the south.
Men not only have the right to speak, but they also don't do things, and they walk around with their children all day long, and all women work in the fields. If this is easy to manage, but when it is really managed, these men are unruly and make trouble.
This is a thousand-year-old tradition, although Song Jiu is not used to it, but he must respect it, and he does not dare to make trouble at the moment. It is still the hundreds of thousands of Han households who are registered in the household registration who make the decision. was forced to be helpless, something big had happened, and if the barbarian area rebelled everywhere, it would be a crime on top of a crime.
Several people began to discuss the refinement and supplementation.
The first people arrived first, and they had to be fast, otherwise they would miss the planting season.
This is the plan that Song Jiuxin said at the end of last year.
Now Song Jiu's plan is still a strengthened version of this plan, Lingnan is too complicated to move, so it can only be so.
The measure is to guide, Song Jiu's breeding farm invested a lot of money to go down, it is a large-scale farm, from time to time students also come to inspect, guide, graduation will add credits, at the same time meritorious people will also be rewarded. There are many problems, but it is to let it go wrong, and if there is no problem, you can't find a solution. Anyway, the money is piled up desperately.
It's not mature yet, but it's a large-scale farm, Lingnan doesn't need to be like this, a small farm, so some hired tenant farmers who have experience in bringing to Lingnan may not be adaptable, but give them a heavy reward, stay for two years and then go home, then the task is over.
The first is to promote advanced planting and breeding, most areas of Lingnan are very backward in planting, except for the southeast of Guangzhou is slightly developed, other areas are slash-and-burn. It's still the old way, but this time it's a contract, with a lot of land but a relatively small scale, contracting the farmers' land, and at the same time hiring the farmers, and all the farmers are withdrawn after two years of planting, but the local farmers are also familiar with this planting and breeding method. With points and noodles, the whole Lingnan will not take ten years, and most areas can achieve advanced planting methods.
The other is the pursuit of efficiency, Lingnan is too poor under the Liu family's raid, and there are two shortcuts in between. The first is cotton, last year the letter was sent to the capital, and at the same time people were sent to Hainan Island, and now they are going to be just and bright, and no one dares to stop them, and almost all the cottonseeds in Hainan are bought. It is not used to spin cloth, but to bounce cotton and turn it into strong lint, and its price is still very high. It's been a profiteering industry for at least a decade.
If they are transported to the Central Plains, they can even be used to exchange goods with the Khitans and Goryeo.
But this time will not be too long, once the seeds in the north adapt to the evolution and also promote it significantly, the price will fall immediately. But it doesn't matter, there's a second thing, and that's sugar cane. There are three forms of sucrose, the first is granulated sugar. Purple sugar and black sugar, slightly sticky. The quality also cannot keep up with the quality of future generations. The second is stone honey, rice milk and cow's milk. Similar to milk candy, fried into large pieces, the quality is not as good as milk candy. The third is frosting, which is a precipitated crystallization product, why the quality of Suizhou and Wuyue is good, but Lingnan's is not. When Song Jiu came to Lingnan, there were people in Guizhou who planted it, took it out and tasted it, and it grew thicker than the sugarcane in the north. But it is indeed a planting problem, not very sweet, and secondly, Lingnan has a frost-free period, and it is not easy to crystallize without a frost period, so the frosting is the second. But it doesn't matter, Lingnan has a long history of making sugar, and if the planting method keeps up with it, the sweetness increases, and the sugar is also an income.
The second is planting and breeding. Even Song Jiu was going to bring winter wheat over, but it was too far away from the capital to collect grain tax or money tax from Lingnan. Either cloth taxes, or cotton taxes and sugar taxes in the future, these high-value taxes.
The point is relatively easy, and Lingnan is vast and sparsely populated. Just give a few money, and you can "contract" a large amount of wasteland. It's just that labor will have a little headache. Song Jiu shouted everywhere that the knife would leave people, but he could fight a few battles. Or tens of thousands of laborers died.
Can no one make it?
Pan Mei pinched her nose and couldn't make a sound, tens of thousands of people were killed by him.
Then there are people from the Central Plains, the middle school students of the academy are not here for nothing, one is to hone, the other is to practice, but they will add high credits, and at the same time give rewards. Changed once a year. The second is that experienced old farmers, including farmers who have planted cotton, ask people to go to Suining and invite cane farmers to come over at a high price. In the third Yanai, one by one stay in the capital and are bored, I invite you to come to Lingnan as a guest. At the same time, persuade them to contribute, the money is spent in your hands, it is better to smash it in Lingnan. It won't necessarily make much money, but now cotton is very profitable, and it will earn a little. I made money again, did good deeds again, and traveled by the way, why not? How many came, Song Jiu didn't know. In order to rush for time, Song Jiu asked Yuping to spare a lot of money and invited them to come by land in a carriage.
Some people can't do it, but they still have money and capital.
Let Yuping scrape together the money from her family, not bring the money over, but turn it into glass and wine, transport it to Guangzhou by ship, and then sell it to Fanren, so that the money can be turned into three or four times, and at the same time, it also saves freight, and then transports the money and silk from the hands of the merchants to various places and smashes it into various farms. Not only did the Song family come out, but also lobbied various yamen to invest in the name of Hezhou to do good deeds. Like Shi Baozheng, doesn't he worship the Buddha every day, don't you need to worship the Buddha, it doesn't work, come and do good deeds.
How many people came over and how much money came, Song Jiu still didn't know very well.
Originally, the plan was this plan, I believe that after a year or two, Lingnan will undergo a qualitative change, and he and his father-in-law not only leveled the Southern Han Dynasty, but also left a golden stall for the imperial court, and it was completed, and he could return to the capital. Who expected this to go wrong? So Song Jiu wrote a second letter back, and this is the big game......
People came first, and Shi Baozheng, a dozen bored Yanei, and Wang Kui, a few students who could ride horses, came over first. Some of them are in office, or they are studying in Taixue, and they have taken long vacations. At that time, the imperial court had not yet received the news that the Southern Han Dynasty was flattened and all the palaces and treasury were burned, and it didn't even happen, but the movement was too big. Zhao Kuangyin was also alarmed, and it was not easy to ask, so he asked Queen Song to summon Pan Li'er to the palace to talk, and he came over in a sneering manner, what are you going to do in Xiaojiu? Pan Li'er handed the letter to Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at it and said: "Your Xiaojiu is not doing well in the third division, but when he arrives in Lingnan, he will work hard." ”
Pan Li'er replied: "Your Majesty, Lingnan has been decided, there is no conflict of interests, every government affairs of the three divisions will involve all kinds of interests, and the official is just a judge, how dare he propose it?" ”
Zhao Kuangyin was silent, just smiling, which can be regarded as a kind of acquiescence and appreciation.
Shi Baozheng and Han Chongye hugged Song Jiu and said loudly: "You kid has come to Lingnan to be majestic." ”
Those who don't have money are not red now, they can't use up their own money, so why blush. Guan Jian's eyes are red, and this is credit.
Pan Mei is training her two sons not far away. Lao Tzu is in Lingnan, you can run to Lingnan for anything! It is estimated that the Pan Weide brothers may not be able to understand, because there is a secret that cannot be said, that is, hostages!
Song Jiudao: "Don't mention it, it was originally a great achievement, but let Liu Gang burn the palace treasury together." It may be 50 million guan, or it will reach 100 million guan, and it will be burned out. ”
"Ahh More than a dozen yamani shouted together.
Song Jiu asked again, "What about things?" (To be continued......)
