Pan Mei said another thing that made Song Jiu laugh and cry: "Song Jiu, you failed even a little Jinshi exam repeatedly. You are just a student. You dare to think and think nonsense, and you are commendable."

All the officials laughed.

Pan Mei said again: "I'll talk about building a road. You came from the west of Langzhou. There are so many mountains and there are not as vast as the south. It's not advisable to build a road. Getting rid of miasma, I don't know what knowledge the foreigner taught you, but I don't think you are 100% sure to remove miasma. Hunan is vast and sparsely populated, and there are so many empty places. Why bother to deceive those miasma, and you can get rid of miasma, and the people will not farm. Besides, trade, the barbarians are already very powerful, with soldiers, people and land. The court knows it's not good, but it's good for quick safety. If it's trade, the court will collect trade taxes, they will not agree, and it will cause disputes. If they are asked to collect trade, they have soldiers, people and land, and if they have money, it will be more like a cyst, which will become a disaster in the future. Wang Zhizhou just preached about farming and weaving,

This is the only place that Mr. Lu agreed to. However, you also see that the finances are lacking. The people do not even have a decent farm tool. The Chinese households cannot farm with peace of mind. Besides, let the charity workers plough and weave them? It’s just that ripe ploughing and firefighting. I’ll talk about ripe ploughing and firefighting. They are very backward in slash-and-burn farming, but they are used to this. If they work hard, people will definitely be very busy, and they will not be able to adapt to this busyness. Let me talk about some mountainous areas, those charity people are originally very hard, and even women are enslaved. Slash-and-burn farming can give them a glimmer of vitality. If they work hard, there will be no vitality. In the end, everything can happen, and it has nothing to do with the court, but it becomes a bandit. It may not be a special person to cause trouble for the charity chief, but it will also vent their anger on innocent charity households and ripe ploughing. Have you ever thought about this consequence?"

What Pan Mei said is not impossible.

Nong Zhigao is similar. He established himself with his father and then had a grudge with Jiaozhi. Jiaozhi killed his father and wanted to help the Song Dynasty become a scapegoat. The Song Dynasty disagreed. As a result, Nong Zhigao did not make trouble for Jiaozhi and came to cause trouble for the Song Dynasty.

This is a hypothesis. The Song Dynasty did not happen in another time and space, but the Song Dynasty also did not specifically teach Shengman's advanced farming and weaving technology. The entire Shengman area of ​​Song has been slash-and-burn farming and even continued until the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty governed and truly ruled, but it paid a lot of blood for it.

What Pan Mei said is not unreasonable.

Hunan’s top priority is to make it stable at the lowest cost.

Song Jiu disagreed and said, "Uncle."

"Don't call me uncle, General Pan, this is government affairs, don't talk about family affection."

The officials laughed again, not about celebrating affection, but about this kid falling in love with your daughter, and this is about celebrating affection.

"General Pan, I still disagree. It is difficult to find a country. The difficulty lies in martial arts. How to unify the world requires the support of wise monarchs and many elite soldiers and brave generals. It seems that governance is relatively easy. The land is wide and sparsely populated, and there will be no big conflicts about land annexation. The people from chaos to governance are easily satisfied. As long as they do not abuse the people too much like the Qin Dynasty, it will easily lead to a prosperous era. However, I don't think so. For example, carpenters make boxes, and various carvings and polishing are at the back, and the front is only flat. But not so, the front must be carefully considered. Think about what box you want to make. Although the back can be corrected, the front can be turned into a rectangle, can the back be changed into a circle? The founding country is in a mess, and you can draw whatever you want, but if you draw it well, it will be impossible for future generations to make major changes. Although you have worked hard, I feel ashamed to think that I am arrogant, but I have to work harder."

"Boy, or I would ask the emperor to let you stay in Hunan?" Ding Deyu said.

"This, this... General Ding, why not do this. I'd better go down tomorrow to see if General Ding and General Pan can send me some soldiers. Otherwise, I can't see more if I can't go deeper. Maybe if I accidentally come up with some trivial tricks, I will add icing on the cake."

If you say you can't stay in Hunan, what should you do if you have Hezhou and what should you do if you have Bookstore?

However, Song Jiu reviewed himself. He was right, but he had a common problem. It seemed that the literati and officials of the Song Dynasty often committed suicide in the future, lenient themselves and strict with others. Fan Zhongyan almost forced Lu Yijian to hang himself, so he learned from Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan convinced Lu Yijian. That was a noble and flawless character. Did others do it? He was told by these cats and dogs, and he would definitely not be convinced. He fought first and then quarreled, and finally he was quarreled. The party struggle began, and the Song Dynasty was destroyed, and everyone played together.

Song Jiu did not have that noble character, but he was disdainful of doing such things as being lenient and strict with others. Song Jiu said a few words to the yamen, who would rather die than live hungry. When he was poor, he could only take care of himself and others. When he was rich, he might think about other people when he was rich. He might not think about others when he was rich. It was not what I said, but what Mencius taught me.

In fact, it is just two other sentences: If a person does not care for himself, heaven will punish him and earth will destroy him. If he is poor, he will be able to protect himself. If he is rich, he will be able to help the world.

After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyi was almost angry and sent someone to arrest Song Jiu and beat him up. However, after thinking about it carefully, he burst into laughter. These two sentences are the best portrayal of Song Jiu, selfishness and greed, but not useless. Although he is greedy, he knows what can be greedy and what cannot be greedy. Even many officials cannot do this. Don't take it seriously after dreaming at midnight, but after he gradually developed, he did take into account his neighbors and bargained for the country.

So Song Jiu didn't say it again.

After dinner, he went down to rest. He rushed along the way and went to Hunan to observe carefully and ask and think about it. He was very tired.

The bosses did not disperse immediately, and Wang Hu and Pan Mei said all kinds of difficulties, but some of Song Jiu's words were also not unreasonable. Wang Hu said: "This boy is indeed not bad. If you carefully craft it, the future will be immeasurable."

"Uncle Jing, this guy is good, but he is too lazy," Pan Mei said. He also received an edict from Zhao Kuangyin and said some other things, but after that, he deliberately said, Song Jiu arrived in Hunan and asked Pan Mei to polish it well.

Pan Mei is worried about this matter, how can she "soft" it well?

But Pan Mei was very disappointed. Logically speaking, Song Jiu came to Hunan and had some chances to polish. Song Jiu wanted to go down and see it, so let him go down and take a look first.

With the main business, Pan Mei also took the attitude of being a dead horse as a living person. Maybe this kid could really come up with a better solution. So he asked Li Chao to accompany him personally, and took two teams, twenty soldiers, and a guide who was proficient in various local dialects to accompany Song Jiu. With Li Chao's courage, as long as he was not too troublesome, he would travel all over Hunan, even if he was in the depths of the North and South Rivers.

Song Jiuzhen went down.

First, I looked at the southern part of Tanzhou, then to Hengzhou, then to Chenzhou, and look at Caoshi, some Shengman tribes in the marginal areas, see pit mines, water conservancy, farming, textiles, various crops, vegetables, fruits and melons, folk handicrafts, and some distinctive handicrafts of minority tribes. I even specially looked at eight or nine large and small places.

The court is the place where death row prisoners are executed. This is used to describe a place where malaria is plagued in the south. A powerful one is called a small court. If it is so powerful, it is not close to people. It is the great court. Lingnan has the most, there are many, Dali, and there are also in southern Bashu, and there are relatively fewer in Hunan and Fujian. But there are also in Hunan, which are mostly small courts, and there are even fewer large courts. In fact, the most people in the north are afraid of this court, and then the plaguing of the war. There are many things that are not superstitious, but science cannot explain. Most miasma can explain it. As for the plaguing of the war, it is mostly rumored. At most, some powerful poison powder can be created to stand on the upper wind and sprinkle downward, or other means to harm people. But if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what if. What if?

When entering the Dharma field, Li Chao and the others were very brave, but they were also scared. In fact, Song Jiu was also afraid that if there was winter miasma in that Dharma field, he would never go in.

After reading a few places of justice, Song Jiu wrote a letter to Wang Hu. In the letter, Song Jiu did not describe it as peach blossom miasma, green grass miasma, new wheat miasma, yellow grass miasma, miasma, miasma, etc., but roughly divided it into three types.

The first is poisonous gas miasma. Some uninhabited areas have many corrupt things, and these areas are prone to poisonous snakes, scorpions, centipedes and other poisonous substances. Some poisonous bacteria are prone to growth in these areas. If the weather is damp and stuffy, it will evaporate as water vapor. These corrosive gas is heavier than air and accumulates on the ground. People absorb it and get poisoned. It will not be safe and sound. It will be blown away and diluted quickly and will not harm the people. I am afraid that the wind will be small, so I slowly move the miasma, and the poisonous gas will not dissipate. Wherever it passes, it is harmful to humans. Including peach blossom miasma, peach blossom falls, rot, and reacts with other substances, it is also harmful. Or sudden miasma, such as thick fog and some accidental events, causing toxic substances on the surface to evaporate with water vapor, which will also harm humans.

The second type is worm miasma. People in the south want to be cool and enjoy barefoot. They accidentally pierce the skin. Some damp grounds contain many poisonous bacteria or tiny parasites that absorb onto the human body and then become ill. Therefore, the more they spread, the more strange it became, and a new small killing field was created.

The third type is mosquito miasma. Because it is sparsely populated, mosquitoes like to produce rotten deposits on small eggs. These mosquitoes carry many bacteria and also transmit the bacteria to humans when they suck blood. Especially the more people, the easier it is to attract mosquitoes. As long as one person gets malaria, the less likely it is to be transmitted directly to others. But when he is alive, mosquitoes will bite them constantly, and bite healthy people will also spread malaria to others. This is also the reason why the army is prone to spread malaria. Some people have malaria and not only need to isolate them, but also pay attention to avoiding mosquitoes. The more malaria you get, the more you cannot bite them. The most terrible disease is incubated for half a year. It looks like a good person, but in fact it has become a source of infection. Legend has it that miasma is the most serious because of the large amount of mosquitoes in autumn.

There are measures, the third type is to repel mosquitoes. The more the army is, the more we need to repel mosquitoes.

The second type is not to be barefoot, nor to drink raw water. Pay attention to hygiene and take more baths. Lice are also a source of infection. But it is best to take a boiling water when taking a bath. If you really want to take a bath in the river, you must send someone to inquire.

The first one is the most evil one, but it is easier to control it.

In order to convince, Song Jiu chose a small court in the river valley and asked the yamen runners to force more than 200 mature labor camps in two nearby villages. Because it was spring miasma, he could enter at this time. He first dug a small river, not too wide, only ten meters wide and half a person deep. He placed the digging soil on both sides to make the river bank. The purpose was to lure the water from the upstream, rather than spreading everywhere when spring came, making the entire valley wet and muddy.

He then brought dry firewood and burned it in the river valley, burning countless centipedes, scorpions, some poisonous snakes, and other animals to death. Then he carefully burned the corruption accumulation. Then he ploughed and exposed the sun. The area was not too large, and it took nearly ten days to make trouble before and after, the project was over.

Song Jiu pointed to the village people and said, "From now on, this place is not only not a law ground, but also a very good fertile land. With this small river as the boundary, you will have all kinds of sides of the village."

Not only did they eliminate malaria, but they even divided the land boundaries of the farmland in the future, but the villagers believed and suspected them.

But in the letter, Song Jiu honestly said that this method of burning, ploughing and exposing the sun may not work for some areas with complex terrain and some areas with large areas. The intention of Song Jiu was to explain the cause of miasma, but not to turn it into monsters.

And it will cause headaches.

Especially malaria, there were too many troops that it destroyed during the past and present, including Guo Kui's future expedition to Jiaozhi.

But it cannot be monster-like. Not all mosquitoes will spread malaria. Only a part of the mosquitoes can spread. If moderate prevention is made, for example, the army is stationed at a high place and burns some mugwort in a bonfire, soldiers cannot try to cool down and must sleep in mosquito nets. Patrol soldiers should minimize their exposed skin. If any soldiers get malaria, please pay attention to isolating. Then the harm of malaria to the army will be reduced by more than 70%.

However, there is a serious problem. For example, some courts are not courts at all. Because they are spread evil, they become courts. This mosquito is also the one in the south. The man in the south has never been bitten by mosquitoes for a year. Even after Pan Mei came to the south, she might have bitten a thousand mosquitoes. If the mosquito bites me, I will get malaria, and the army will not have to fight, so go home early. The truth must be revealed, so how to reveal it will not cause panic in the army, and let the people and soldiers understand the truth about malaria, instead of being misled by rumors. This is left to the three big bosses to find a way.

Then Song Jiu quickly returned to the southern part of Hengzhou. When New Year's Day came, he did not return to Tanzhou. Instead, he climbed Hengshan, climbed the mountain for two days, and looked at the temples and viewed the mountains. This was the only two days of rest during Song Jiu's long inspection. Then he rushed to Chenzhou and directly found Qin Zaixun.

In fact, when they received this news, the three of them were shocked. Don’t think that Qin Zaixing was a barbarian. This person is very smart and courageous. They are afraid that Song Jiu is young and does not know the importance of it. If he runs a train in his mouth, he will bring bad consequences.

But the news that came back made the three of them laugh and cry.
Chapter completed!
