At the intersection of Sangjia Wazi Road, Dongshi Street, Song Jiu bought a few meat pies to eat. It was getting dark, and could he still ask for something to eat in the palace? He handed one to Xiaohuangmen. Xiaohuangmen hesitated for a while and started eating.

After eating, the two of them wiped their mouths, and Song Jiu rode a horse and ran to the palace with the little yellow gate.

But this time, it was not in the imperial city, and was taken to the east and west streets by the yellow gate. It was completely dark and I didn't know where to take it. I entered a side hall, where only five people sat. Zhao brothers, Zhao Pu, Xue Juzheng and Li Chongju.

Song Jiu bowed and Zhao Kuangyin said, "Sit flat, sit down."

Legend has it that two years ago, Prime Minister Fan Zhi led all the ministers to report the matter, and Zhao Kuangyin said that you would hand over the memorial. Fan Zhi got up and handed over the memorial. A eunuch took the opportunity to move Fan Zhi's chair away. Fan Zhi was hard to say, Xiaohuangmen, you moved the chair back for me, so he had to stand. He stood up, and the ministers behind him stood up together. Later, the ministers stood up together. This situation occurred in the evolution of furniture. The tables in the Tang Dynasty were very short, that is, short, and people were sitting cross-legged on the ground, so everyone sat cross-legged together to discuss the truth. In the Song Dynasty, there were big tables in all directions and big chairs in the Grand Master. Zhao Kuangyin felt that this was not good, so there was a story about eunuch stealing chairs.

The Ming Dynasty changed to kneeling. The Qing Dynasty not only knelt, but also had to stand up straight, and there was no possibility of sitting and talking as shown on TV. So the backbone or blood gradually disappeared from these seemingly non-existent rules.

In general, the rules were not very strict. Song Jiu and the Zhao brothers also had a fight several times, and they basically sat and talked indoors. However, Song Jiu realized that he moved the chair back and then looked again. He found that something was wrong. He moved in the middle and moved to the side. Seeing him playing tricks, the expressions on the faces of the people were a little strange, and they wanted to laugh.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Song Jiu, you did a good job when you went south this time and even found a good brother."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be a taboo to do that, right?"

"Tao? Are you so brave?"

Li Chongju was amused. Zhao Kuangyin was in trouble. This boy was not only helpless. Wang Hu wrote a memorial in Tanzhou. In the memorial, he was almost heartbroken. He was knowledgeable, talented, wise, and could endure hardships. He was probably influenced by the Western gentleman, with novel ideas and broad ideas. He was a rare talent in the Song Dynasty, but this boy was not enterprising and his personality was very lazier. But what good way did Zhao Kuangyin do? He made him go south. He did a good job in going south, but his personality still had not changed. Could it be that he used a bull whip to slap him?

Why did Da Song produce this monster?

Without thinking, he said to Zhao Pu and the others: "This kid seems useless, but he said something in the south, it would be fine if he didn't plan to incorporate into the territory of the Song Dynasty. He planned to incorporate into the territory of the Song Dynasty. The land was my Song Dynasty, and the people were my Song Dynasty people. Even if the people were my Song Dynasty people, respect and treat him well. Song Jiu, how much salary do you have in a month?"

"Your Majesty, I have nearly five stakes of money per month, and also subsidies for charcoal, firewood, rice and cloth. I can have more than ten stakes together."

"I'm very disappointed to think of these things when I see Bashu again."

Zhao Pu and his men were not afraid to come out. Without the matter of the entire Shixiong, they would pass by just one cover. The entire Shixiong became more and more troubled. As the war was about to spread the prairie fire, the entire Bashu was burning together. Even if it was pacified, it would be a dilapidated place.

Song Jiu opened his mouth and Zhao Kuangyin said, "Song Jiu, what are you going to say?"

Song Jiu originally wanted to say that if your two imperial edicts had caused the generals to misunderstand, what would happen? But I dare not say that if Zhao Kuangyin made a mistake and pointed it out himself, what would Zhao Kuangyin think? As he learned more, his historical view was completely overturned. History always sympathized with tragedy, so history books would inevitably beautify Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin. But as he learned more, Song Jiu felt that Zhao Kuangyin also had many shortcomings, and he might not be the elder in the history books that was not as good as he could. He could not say it himself.

But if other people conspire, would you dare to say it? Take a look at the positions of several big bosses now. Xue Juzheng is an old minister of the previous dynasty and needs to avoid taboos and cannot enter the core of power. Although Li Chongju is in power, he is not even a match for Zhao Pu. Wang Renshan is finished, and Lu Yuqing is gone. The chaos in Bashu is so big that it will take him to come back in a few years. If it is a conspiracy, will Song Jiu dare to say such a method?

So he said, "Your Majesty, I can only talk, but I don't do it, so I dare to say that I am wrong anyway. If you have any wise men correct it, it is another matter to implement it. It is easy to say it but difficult to do it! Therefore, I went south to see all kinds of things in the south, and once sighed, I am arrogant, "

"It's easy to say but hard to do. Do you know how many people you'll confuse with what you say!"

"I don't know."

"Tell me what happened to this map." On the table was Song Jiu's stack of diaries, written in a brush. The paper is now thick, and thick stacked on the table. In addition, there are some documents compiled by officials. Song Jiu said a lot in a mess. Ding Deyu, Pan Mei and Wang Hu made many additions and sent them to the capital with a fast horse. They could not be shown this way for the emperor. Zhao Pu asked the clerk to sort out and summarize them, and turned them into several pieces, and handed them to Zhao Kuangyin with the diary.

There are really many involved, including farming production, education, trade and road construction, pitting mines, ethnic groups and crops themselves.

First, farming production is divided into several parts. The first is the edge of Dongting Lake and Xiang River. There are many lakes and swamps in this area. Song Jiu suggested setting up a circumference. That is, to build a river embankment and encircle these lakes and swamps. In fact, this is the later polder fields and swamps. Song Jiu did not say anything about it. Then set up a steep gate. When the water is too small, it can open the steep gate to release water and prevent drought. There are also ways to dig ditches in the circumference for transportation, or dig ponds, use them to store water, silt land ashore, and raise the field foundation. These water surfaces will not be wasted, and can carry lotus roots to grow fish. When the flood season comes, the people spontaneously organize patrols and plant trees and willows on the circumference. Moreover, these circumferences are not used by anyone in millions of years, and the ground abilities are sufficient. Once cultivated, the yield will be more than twice that of the plains.

This method can be applied not only in Hunan, but also on both sides of the Yangtze River, especially in the Jiangdong region. Although most of the Jiangdong region belong to the Southern Tang Dynasty, Jiangbei is now under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty.

This was what Wang Hu saw first, so he asked Song Jiu where the money came from. This is not a small amount of money. No matter which one is built, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources. Song Jiu said one thing, where did I come from when I develop Hezhou?

The reality is simple. As long as the court is not too greedy and turns these surrounded fields into official fields and imperial fields, the problem can be solved. Let the people do it themselves and work together. After the surrounded fields are surrounded, the surrounding fields will be yours.

The court only needed to pay some steep stone money and sent a few officials to organize and arrange it for them. In this era, even if the land is vast and sparsely populated, the more people still long for land, the better. There is no need to do more. Just one or two surrounds, and mature in a year, and then cultivate and rest in one or two years, and the people will return to normal. When they see the results, they will spontaneously build many enclosures.

There is only one thing to note: just like digging ditches and ponds within the enclosure, keep the river channel open and retain all deep lake areas. Otherwise, when the flood season comes, the river channel is blocked and there is no lake to store water, it will flood and cause disasters. It doesn’t matter now, there is a small population and a wide land, and the people will increase in the future. Therefore, from now on, there must be a unified plan.

Secondly, in mountainous areas, it is unlikely to repair dams and build dams. It costs more money and less profit. You can only wait until the country's economic conditions are better and the population increases before officials can find a solution. But now there is a simple method, water dam. Hunan's water system is developed, but many mountainous areas have many streams, shallow water, and rapid water, and obvious flood season. There is no need to worry about water use during the flood season. During the dry season, all streams cannot even see water. Planting crops cannot be expected to grow during the flood season, which also affects farming. This solution is also simple. Set a small dam on a gentle section of the stream to cut the stream in half. The height of the small dam does not need to be too high. When the water is large, the stream can flow over the small dam and flow downstream without harming the crops on both sides of the strait. The water is too small and it just plays a role in water storage, so simple reservoirs appear, solving the irrigation problem during dry water.

There are also precautions. The residents in the upper reaches are strictly ordered to build dams and build high dams. Otherwise, it will affect the people in the downstream. Moreover, once the dam collapses, the people in the lower reaches will face a disaster. It is said that the enclosed fields are not novel, the Yellow River has river embankments, and the Nantang also has a small number of polder fields, but the country has not yet realized its broader role and has not vigorously promoted it. However, this water-in-water dam is very novel.

Finally, there is a mountainous area where water cannot be directly diverted. There is still a way. Not only will Song Jiu set up a tube truck in Hezhou in the future to pump water on the river bank, but it has been available very early. Zhao Kuangyi's house is high in terrain and cannot draw water. He sent craftsmen to build a large tube truck to absorb water into his mansion and irrigate the flowers, plants and trees in the garden. Taking advantage of the rapid flow of Hunan, he used hydraulic power to push the tube truck, drain the water to a high place, set up a diversion channel, and then reclaim terraces on the hillside.

In this way, more than half of Hunan's areas can be turned into treasure. Not only Hunan, but many places in the Song Dynasty will benefit from it once it is promoted.

With this alone, it is worthwhile to send a clerk to organize and report the diaries of Song Jiu and others.

It is also the reason why Wang Hu was heartbroken.

But not only these, there are many good things below.

There is no need to say much about pit mines, but there are many metal deposits in Hunan, because of backward mining and smelting technology, which cannot meet the iron needs of Hunan itself. Song Jiu made a record and pointed out the potential of some mineral deposits, hoping that Wang Hu would write a letter and request the court to assign some officials to come to Hunan with gunpowder to bring more advanced mining technology.

Then there are the farm tools. After ploughing, Song Jiu also looked carefully. There was no need to mention the place where there were no oxen. Clumsy ploughs, iron builds, and squids became the theme. This was pretty good. I don’t know how many areas continued to use slash and fire to plant them all the way, which was even more miserable. But I also saw ox plowing land in Tanzhou, but most of the plows were thin and small straight plows, not Jiangdong plows, or curved plows. I also saw Song Jiu’s swords used to reclaim wasteland on a group of plows in Hebei. However, the swords used in Hebei were also backward. At that time, it was not Song Jiu’s responsibility. Song Jiu did not look closely and probably did not have a sharper steel blade on the head of the knife. Song Jiu also recorded this point honestly. In the end, it was not matched. He did not ask for judgment. After Wang Hu saw it, he did not know whether to praise him for being honest or something else. The officials who copied it were also ridiculous.

This is tillage, and there is also yun. There has been a cart in the north of the Song Dynasty. Qingyi said that there is an advanced weaning tool in Jiangnan. Yundang, not only in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but also in Wuyue. It is hard to say about the Southern Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty asked Qian Jiao to create weaning technology. Could it be that it would not be given?
