The yamen were still making noise. Several big guys brought a quilt back. It was cold outside and the one was covered with warmth. In fact, they also had some blanket products at home, but they felt different, just like going to a Shun Restaurant for dinner. Maybe the dishes may not be as good as the taste, but if you eat such an expensive dish, it will be delicious.

This matter also spread quickly.

Song Jiu said: "No, so many years have passed, why bother to worry about this year? Or I have some cotton seeds here, so you can take them back and plant them. I will send someone to teach your servants how to plant and carry them. Next year, you will have a lot of cotton in your hands, and you will have them as you want to cover them, roll and climb over them."

Pan Lian'er giggled.

The yamen were gone, so they had to ask for a bag of cotton seeds to go home. At this time, Song Jiu realized that he was also in a misunderstanding and was desperately thinking about textile craftsmanship, but the Song Dynasty did not lack cloth for the time being, and the poor could wear kale and hemp. What they really lacked were cold-proof clothes and cold-proof bedding. This did not require too complicated craftsmanship. If the spinning bow was changed, the iron syll could also be improved. Then cotton would enter thousands of households. There would be no conflict between promoting and improving seeds.

The first year, the yamen had to be planted. They didn't care about money and were willing to fertilize them. They could observe and record while sending someone to guide them. That would be a record of hundreds of acres of cotton fields, and different irrigation conditions and different soil properties of the land, so they could record more comprehensively.

After dinner, Pan Lian'er said coquettishly: "Official, I want to sleep."

Don't get me wrong, she wants to try to make the quilt soft and enter the cotton nest earlier to enjoy it.

The next day, Song Jiu was on duty and began to listen to Zhao Kuangyi's words. If he could, he would take care of what he could. If he could not take care of what he could, he would take care of what he could not, and if he did not go to the Sansi to rest. He heard a message. Li Jixun's army was at the city of Taiyuan, but he had not seen Guo Wuwei's movement for a long time. He was also depressed. At this time, he heard that the Khitan army had reached the border of the Northern Han Dynasty. He might not be afraid of the Khitan, but fighting against the Khitans in the wild in this winter was undoubtedly seeking death. So he sent a fast horse to report to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin was also confused and afraid of an accident, so he had to call Li Jixun's army back to the capital first. However, these people were not afraid. Even though they knew that the Khitan cavalry could go south at any time, they still calmly plundered the two states of the Northern Han and Jin, not only plundered property, but also had no property, mainly plundering people. They calmly brought a large number of people and returned.

Song Jiu didn't know the inside story, so he couldn't understand it. If he only wanted to plunder the population, there was no need to dispatch so many elite troops and various brave generals, then this time he sent troops was unreasonable. He sent a document to the Secretariat, but Zhao Pu summoned him. He first asked him to sit down and asked, "Song Jiu, I saw the places you circled the day before yesterday, what use are you going to use?"

Song Jiu looked at Zhao Pu hesitantly. Could it be that he could see it?

Although his motives are impure, he is very afraid of Zhao Pu.

Some time ago, the magistrate of Dali Temple saw that his subordinate officials and officials had many accompanies Zhao Pu, and he added the name of the law of punishment for no reason. He could not bear it anymore and wanted to see Zhao Kuangyin explain the matter. Zhao Kuangyin did not meet him. So he forced himself to break into the martial arts palace and shouted: "I have urgent tasks. Why don't Your Majesty see me?"

Zhao Kuangyin asked him what happened, and Lei Dexiang reported the situation of the Dali Temple officials who attached the situation to Zhao Pu, and forced them to buy civilian houses to accumulate wealth and bribes. Accumulation means making money in wooden business, and bribery means accepting bribes. Since Lei Dexiang said that, there must be some evidence in his hand, but Song Jiu could not hear the specific ones. Then he impeached Zhao Chengzong's various illegal behaviors.

In fact, how could Zhao Kuangyin not know about these things?

He was not afraid of officials getting rich, and even tacitly allowed officials to get rich. He only hated a little and could not get too involved in military power, endanger his safety, and re-produced the phenomenon of the Five Dynasties. Even Wang Quanbin's mistakes could be tolerated, and Zhao Pu's mistakes were just doing a business. If he didn't do it, wouldn't those merchants not do it? He did not kill and set fire.

Therefore, he listened silently, like Zhao Yi, he played the old tune again and did not say anything new. When Lei Dexiang saw Zhao Kuangyin's attitude, he knew that there was no chance, so he became more and more excited as he spoke. Zhao Kuangyin was impatient and shouted, "Ding Ding and ears, don't you hear that Zhao Pu is my country's minister."

He ordered his left and right to drag him to Zhao Pu and asked Zhao Pu to take the sentence of death. After a while, he was angry and demoted him to Shangzhou as a Sihu Army. It is estimated that the sentence of death was fake. This is what Zhao Pu, what do I do to you? Just like he gave a quilt to one bed.

Shangzhou is not a big province, and the chief judge of Dali Temple is even more important. He went from being a chief judge of Dali Temple to join the military of Shangzhou Sihu, which was not as high as that of Song Jiu. He only wrote a letter to talk about things, and the department was very serious. Zhao Pu was still unwilling to give up. The former governor of Shangzhou and Lei Dexiang were old acquaintances, so he was very polite to Lei Dexiang. So Zhao Pu waved his pen and asked Xi Yu to be the governor of Shangzhou, which made Xi Yu make things difficult for him. It was said that Lei Dexiang was miserable by Xi Yu below, and something happened sooner or later.

At this time, Song Jiu understood two points. The first point mentioned the famous prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Most people think of Kou Zhun and Wang Anshi, and few people think of Zhao Pu. This person is so selfish that he is imaginative that he is as imaginary as Song Jiu. Perhaps Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu can compete with him in his later years. Also, why did he not hear famous ministers in the early Northern Song Dynasty? Who dares to give serious advice?

On this, Zhao Da was not as good as Zhao Er. At least Kou Zhun dared to pull Zhao Er's dragon robe and make him feel safe and sound, so that Zhao Er missed him often.

So when facing Zhao Pu's Quan Yan, Song Jiu answered very carefully and said, "Zhao Xianggong, I haven't figured out what the specific use is. It's mainly the construction of Hezhou, which is beyond my expectations. Originally, there were a lot of vacant land in the east of Hezhou to prepare for building houses. This house will not make money, the land is too expensive, and it cannot make money. Its function is to increase popularity. I heard from Qingyi that there is a mountain in Huizhou called Huangshan, which is beautiful and unparalleled in the world. Zhao Xianggong, have you heard of it?"

"No."

"I don't, why are you unknown? Because no one promotes it. The less popular, the less famous it is. Hezhou is even more so. Now, there are new things and many tourists, which drives Hezhou and Hebei. In a few years, the more fresh people go there, there are fewer people and fewer residents, and they will gradually become unknown. The consequences are terrible. Not only do I have losses with Zhao Dalang and others, but once Hezhou collapses, countless people lose the opportunity to support their families. Therefore, it is still the same person, the more people, the more tourists. Just like when I go south or west, I see many beautiful scenery. Because I am uninhabited, I lose interest in seeing it. So I have to build a house. There are many residents nearby, at least they are too.

I will slip away when I am idle. The popularity will continue to decline. Now the space in the west of Hezhou is one-third less. In addition, if I want to place soldiers and some people who have moved here, I must think of ideas in Henan. There may be workshops in the future, and the likelien workshops will also be expanded. I was worried that the land in Hebei has increased so I simply spent money to buy more land, put it in place, use construction, and continue to let the people farm, and do not misuse the matter. But what is the specific thing..." Song Jiu was confused and shook his head again: "Mr. Zhao, I really couldn't think of it. A textbook made me feel overwhelmed and could not think of it. But it will definitely be helpful to Hezhou, including Hebei. If there is no popularity, Hebei will be even more dangerous."

"Popularity?"

"It's popularity, such as what scenery does Xiangguo Temple have? It can be as beautiful as half of the Hezhou. But are there fewer tourists than Hezhou? The main thing is that there are more people, and the more people, the more people they go."

Song Jiu walked out of the Secretariat and a cold sweat broke out in his palms.

There are many stories in Hebei. For example, many victims who Zhao Chengzong deceived this time were about to escape. First, it was a comparison of Hezhou, and second, Zhao Kuangyi also made some moves. Ming Dynasty reminded him repeatedly. It was also a calculation that people who had no way out were allowed to be placed under the control of the poor and poor victims. Zhao Chengzong only listened to a small part. Moreover, Zhao Pu was also staring at Zhao Kuangyi. It had nothing to do with him. The main reason was that business was underdeveloped. In terms of scheming or IQ, he was too far apart.

It seems you have to be careful.

When he returned home, a large group of people were surrounding the horse servant. Dahei was giving birth and was making a sad neigh. Pan Lian'er was combing the horse's hair with a comb, trying to soothe it. But Dahei still made a painful cry.

Pan Weide saw it in the military camp and stood by the side to command.

Even the students threw down the teaching materials and squeezed them to the side to read.

After a while, a foal came out, and the big phoenix among the little twins said, "This is the breed of that horse. Big ash, little red, and big flowers are not like it."

Xiaofeng said: "It must not be Xiaoqing's, Dahei doesn't like it."

"How did such a big foal be born? Let me take a look."

Xiao Qingma was dissatisfied with her breath and sprayed heavily on the side. Yuping reached out to cover their mouths and prevented them from talking nonsense. Then she pulled the twins aside. Dahei began to stick out his tongue and licked Xiaoma.

Pan Weide continued to be the commander, and Song Jiu said: "Brother-in-law, you are here just in time. Come here, I have something to tell you."

He asked Pan Weidra aside and said, "Why are you in Shundian every day? You can also pull Lian'er over."

"Why not spend that much money?"

"You can't spend this way. Do you know why so many people impeach Wang Quanbin?"

"He has done too much in Liangchuan."

"How many ministers do you think there are some ministers who care about the lives and death of the people in the two Sichuan provinces? It's because he gets too much money and they are all jealous. So, you donate 50,000 yuan to the academy to support the students."

"Brother-in-law, if you don't take money seriously, it's hard for us to make money. There are also third and fourth brothers. My mother gave birth to a sister for us in Tanzhou. This is the case with a dowry of a little sister, can the dowry of a little sister be bad?"

"Little sister?"

"Yes, my elder brother just received a letter from my father." Pan Lian'er said.

Song Jiu knew it in his mind. This little girl was amazing. There were some little brothers behind her. If you don’t care, Song Jiu said again: “Come here, I’ll show you some drawings.”

Take out a stack of drawings from the room, which are drawings of wine bottles and wine boxes. They are all kinds of shapes, both bottles and boxes, and they are extremely beautiful. There are silks wrapped in bottles below, with the scenery of Hezhou embroidered on them.

Pan Weide blankly flirted with the drawings and asked, "Brother-in-law, do you sell wine or bottles or boxes?"

"This year, you can sell glass to fanzi, and next year you can sell it to Goryeo and Japanese. The wines will be aged many times in the year after that and have a taste. Maybe it is also a unique soju in other parts of the world. If you package it like this and sell it to fanzi, how much can a bottle be sold?"

"Yes, level," Pan Weide finally woke up. Now he understood many new terms and said, "It can also be sold to Japanese and Khitan Koryo people."

"Yes, but don't expect them to be Western characters."

“Why?”

"These countries may not have much money, even money, how to buy them. Do you expect Shundian to do business in poor people? Only the West. I will tell you a piece of history. In the past, there was a country called Persia, not Persia of the Tang Dynasty, but another dynasty before it. The annual income was about 15,000 tarantes. The last king named Alexander defeated them, opened the vault, and obtained 300,000 tarantes gold. One tarantes is equivalent to twenty-six emperor kilograms, seven hundred tarantes, and two hundred ten million tarantes gold."

Song Jiu was also somewhat suspicious of this history. Was Persia so rich at that time? However, there are indeed many gold and silver in West Asia now, including China's gold and silver. Due to the asymmetry of wealth, they are mostly circulated there. If you want to earn money from foreign trade, you have to do business with the cannibals, or even build a sea boat and go to the big food in person.

This number obviously scared Pan Weide.

"Don't worry about money. This is not Hezhou, but our business, but you rely on Shundian every day and spend a lot of money. If you are too arrogant, you will be struck by lightning."

"Brother-in-law, don't say it too seriously. What I listen to is that I will go back and discuss with my second brother, and then donate the money."

"Well... there is no hurry, you can't donate like this," Song Jiu suddenly said, thinking for a while and said, "Don't rush to donate. I will ask the emperor to ask him to force you to donate."

"That's better not to donate."

"It must be donated. Next year, a large number of mirrors went south to Hangzhou, just like vegetables, and the price of vegetables fell sharply. At that time, people will be unhappy. But they can't donate directly. Think about how much tax has Hebei paid? How much has Zhao Xianggong made so much money? How much has he donated?"

"That's right, why should I donate?" Pan Weide obviously did not have such a high level of ideological awareness.

"You want to compare with Mr. Zhao, whose house is more luxurious than the palace. Who dares to say? Are you okay? Is your father-in-law okay? I'm afraid that the emperor will disagree. If the emperor agrees to force you to hand over 50,000 yuan in money, it will be a kind of protection for you to protect your father-in-law."
