"It's not true. My father is a son. Although he failed the exam several times in Beijing and the countryside, he had some reputation. When he was in Huangzhou, he had some contact with his father."

"I'm sorry, I heard you go to Jiangzhou to do a big thing during dinner yesterday?"

"It's not a big deal. General Cao slaughtered all the people in Jiangzhou. The people in Jiangbei were in a tight field. Hearing that Jiangzhou had many arable land and houses, countless merchants were rushing into Jiangzhou, and I also wanted to go to Jiangzhou to get a residence."

No wonder so many people, but Song Jiu still didn't understand: "Did the court sell these residences and farmland to you?"

"If you sell it, there will be so many people. If you want to sell it, you may have it. Maybe the court has the idea of ​​the court. Jiangzhou is a major town and cannot be left empty. Therefore, this trick is used to pacify the people in Jiangbei. One is to restore it, and the other is to suppress the local people. I don't know much about it, but I have to give some gifts to the officials."

"So that's what it is..."

"I wonder where the three men's posts are?"

"Jiangnan." Song Jiudao then turned his head to look at Dajiang.

Guo Er whispered: "This Zhang Zhizhou has a way, at least it is not a dead city."

"Not necessarily!" Song Jiu frowned. Not only was it not a solution, it might be a lot of trouble.

The little maid was also whispering to Liu: "Madam, why do you want to chat with those three people?"

"Look at that person." Liu whispered to Song Jiu.

"He was unhappy yesterday and kept watching his wife while eating."

"Ru'er, don't talk nonsense, that person is calm and composed. He doesn't look like an ordinary person, and he directly calls the names of two high-ranking officials of the court."

"Who are they?"

"That man said he was a postman."

"What's wrong?" the little maid asked strangely. The Song Dynasty has gained Jiangnan, with many government orders and endless postmen. What's the strange thing about the three postmen?

"If ordinary postmen went to Jiangzhou to work, they mostly crossed the river from Dushupu. Why did they start crossing the river from Huangzhou?"

"Who will they be?"

"I don't know either." Liu looked at Song Jiu suspiciously again, and Song Jiu was lying on the side of the ship and watching the view of the Yangtze River.

"I think he is a bad person."

"There are so many bad people in the world?"

"The Ding family is just a group of bad people."

"You are talking nonsense. My father is a person who wants to be respected. When my husband goes, how can he let me go back to my parents' home? Stay at Ding's house for one day. I am a member of the Ding family." Liu's eyes showed a trace of confusion. Her husband died early and did not leave a child for the Ding family. Now he can't leave. If he can't stay, he can't stay. It's better to go to Jiangzhou.

"Kyuro, that lady is still paying attention to you."

"Oh," Song Jiu turned around, touched Liu's eyes, and then took it back.

Wang Zhen said again: "Jiulang. Why didn't you ask more about Jiangzhou like her just now?"

"There will be mistaken if you talk too much. This lady is very elf. She went to Jiangzhou Tongzong again. I was afraid that she would mention me when she met and talked with Gu Tongzong." Song Jiu frowned again, unlike Lingnan. Lingnan was bigger and backward, but behind it was Pan Mei's army at that time. So she could let go of her hands and do things.

This time when I came to Jiangzhou, there was no strong support. The Song Dynasty established this magistrate who was well used as an assistant. If I didn't use it well, I could force the magistrate to death. Things were a bit bad.

"Will she guess Kyuro's identity?"

"We didn't alarm the government all the way, and she couldn't guess it. The reason why we came to talk to me was that she was from a merchant and had a wide range of knowledge. Maybe she thought I had a very good origin and wanted to have a relationship."

"Friendship with Jiulang?" Wang Zheng and Guo Er had fun together.

"Yes, I heard some of them yesterday when they talked. Her husband passed away early and her husband's family was unhappy. They thought that she had killed her husband. Everyone ran to Jiangzhou together. She thought of her father's friendship with the current Gu Tongzong, and wanted to go to Jiangzhou to try their luck. However, that general friendship may not necessarily work. If I were a big man, it would be better to get to know him."

Song Jiu didn't say much. Although he had been stable for several years, he had many places to travel. If he had a relationship with the same ferry, then there would not be too many relationship with the same ferry. He vaguely felt that these lands and houses in Jiangzhou were a big problem. It was worthless and wasted and was really worthless. If it was said to be valuable, if the population was dense again, with the advantage of Jiangzhou, so many houses and arable land would be worth higher than the value of Cao Han's more than 100 ships. It seemed that Zhang Ji had restored Jiangzhou to life in a short period of time, but there were too many tricks and many troubles. I can't see it now, so I can only go to Jiangzhou to see it later.

The wind is not strong today, and the river water is very calm. The boatman hung up the side sail and went down the water. The boat speed was very fast. From time to time, the river water stirred up, and a layer of misty water splashed. Occasionally, a few bright water birds flew over the boat.

If it weren't for worrying about Jiangzhou, it would be a happy journey.

Song Jiu took out the dry food, beef jerky, and ate it with Guo Dawang Pillow.

Ru'er said again: "Madam, look at their vulgar appearance, where are the nobles?"

Liu looked at them eating in confusion, but she was still suspicious in her heart. The ship soon arrived in Jiangzhou, and the people all brought cargo. Song Jiu bowed to Liu, saying hello, and then got off the boat. He didn't say much. He stayed on the boat for several hours. Although he didn't interrupt, he finally understood what the so-called Tudi Store was like, which was a disguised dominance. But Song Jiu stared at the pretty face, and the wind blew, and a faint and elegant fragrance of powder came from him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

There will be another day of meeting, but there may not be the peaceful atmosphere today at that time.

After getting off the boat, Jiangzhou City was not far away. Song Jiu looked at it and found that many walls were ruined. He even saw the shadow of the Song army using gunpowder. He didn't know how the military and civilians of Jiangzhou defended it at that time. Cao Han must have done something wrong in his evaluation of this matter, but Song Jiu, like Zhao Kuangyin, did not like this fierce resistance.

The wharf was at the junction of the Hanpu River, Pengli River and the Yangtze River. It was different from the idea when Song Jiucai left the capital. He actually saw that many residences in the wharf had opened because many people and merchants from Jiangbei came, and the business was pretty good.

Not far away are the crop fields and vegetable gardens.

There are also many people who are farming. As for grabbing land, Song Jiu can understand it. He said that Jiangbei is nervous. But if it is done well, it may not be so nervous. If the entire Jiangdong Circle is enough to accommodate more than twice the population today. But it is not nervous, but it is actually very nervous. Since Song Jiu proposed that Hunan began to encircle, the Yangtze River Basin, including Guangnan, many encircled fields and piers have appeared one after another. But Hunan is an encircle. From the two sides of the Yangtze River below the Hanyang Army, it is a dike.

The enclosure is only to prevent mountain floods, while the embankment is below the river surface for many years. Although the embankment is rich, the embankment project is even larger. The embankment with hundreds of hectares requires at least ten miles of long embankment, and a qualified embankment with a minimum of ten thousand cubic meters of soil. The government also needs to invest a lot of financial resources to build the steep gates and support other materials. After the construction is completed, the people not only need to clear out the cultivated ditches in the embankment, but also to prevent flood control and fight against the flood. Therefore, Jiangdong embankment has not yet been popularized, and only a few prefectures and counties have some embankments.

Without the dike, the entire Jiangdong area will either be a lake or hilly land. There is not much mature arable land. Therefore, the people on both sides of the river are still very nervous. These mature arable land in Jiangzhou will inevitably attract the covetousness of many people in Jiangbei.

Song Jiu did not have a good comment on Zhang Ji's policy, and he had to read it before he could judge it. Song Jiu quickly entered the city and immediately found an inn to stay in. He must be low-key in this business, and Zhang Ji had served as a Beijing official in Beijing before he went to Jiangzhou. Although he had no contact with him, he knew each other. He could not let Zhang Ji see it, otherwise it would be meaningless to come to Jiangzhou in secret in advance.

With the seal talisman, Song Jiu came to the street. The weather was the hottest. The southeast wind kept blowing water vapor over Jiangzhou City. After walking for a while, a layer of sweat appeared on Song Jiu and the other two. However, the three of them had good physical fitness and didn't care too much.

Song Jiu walked and observed carefully. If Zhang Ji did a good job, after returning to Jiangzhou, he immediately salvaged all the dead bodies in the city and buried them outside the city. The well water was polluted, so he pushed them all down and ordered the people to open the wells. For the time being, the water was not eaten. Every day, he brought food water outside the city to wash and wash the water. The water in the new well was only for washing and washing, which means that he did what Song Jiu had to do in advance. Countless people from other places came, and Jiangzhou City also had a little vitality, rather than becoming a dead city.

But most of the houses were empty, and Cao Han did not burn them, but because of the massive looting and killing, traces of battle could be seen everywhere.

Fortunately, it didn't burn, otherwise it would have become a dead city.

Song Jiu kept looking at it. Although Zhang Ji did a good job, he always felt something was wrong. In just a moment, he realized where this was wrong. In front of him was the North City Wall, a large area of ​​the city wall was probably destroyed by gunpowder, and it was blocked by the guards in the city with fences. After the Song army entered the city, the city wall would not be repaired before it could be repaired. The large area of ​​houses along the edge of the city wall were knocked down by flying stones, and they were not cleaned up. A little bit of dark red blood could be seen along the rubble. Wearing the fence, there was a clear Shupu Water in front.

Suddenly, a cry came from the sound of crying, and Song Jiu said: "Go."

The three of them turned over piles of rubble. At the door of a shop in front, a woman was holding a baby and crying in the magistrate. Song Jiu said, "Wang Zheng, go and ask what's going on."

Wang Zhen came back a while and reported: "Jiulang, the day the woman said that General Cao killed people, she fled out of the gap with her child in her arms and hid at the home of a relative in the countryside. After she returned, her family was killed by General Cao, and the shop was occupied by a merchant named Zhu in Jiangbei. The woman asked for it, but the merchant surnamed Zhu refused to give it to her. She went to the county yard to make trouble, and the yamen runners bombed her out again, and cried here without accepting her."

"Go and take a look."

Song Jiu walked over, and most of the people watching were the people from Jiangbei, merchants and servants in their families, and they all laughed at each other.

"You are guilty of your own sins and don't live. Let you resist the imperial army. This is your fate!"

"My little lady, hurry up and get married. This is Zhang Zhizhou. If General Cao is here, you will not let it go."

...

The woman ignored them, and the Zhu family could no longer bear it. Several uncles walked out of the shop, pulled the woman up and dragged it to the distance. Wang Zheng couldn't stand it and was about to rush out, but was pulled by Song Jiu.

"Kyuro."

"Little pillow, don't be excited, there should be more people who have escaped."

"Isn't Zhang Zhizhou a good official? Why should I bear these things happening?"

"I don't know either," Song Jiudao, with the great power of Lu Yuqing and his relationship with Zhao Kuangyin, went to Yizhou and only killed one colonel, and then ignored it. Zhang Ji heard Cao Han's looting and killed him as soon as he said that he was a good official, at least an official who cared for the people of Jiangzhou. Song Jiu really didn't understand why these things happened.

"Look at it again."

As the sky gradually dusk became dull, the damp and hot air that made people feel uncomfortable was relieved. Song Jiu returned to the inn, ordered wine and food, and was about to have a rest after dinner. Suddenly, a crisp sound came from his ear: "What a coincidence."

Song Jiu turned his head and smiled bitterly: "It's a coincidence, Miss Liu, is the matter done?"

"I have a look," Liu said happily. The situation in Jiangzhou City was better than Song Jiu expected and better than she expected. With her perspective, she believed that the city would be fully restored in less than one or two years. At that time, it was difficult for Jiangzhou to have the benefits of rivers, lakes and rivers. However, she only had a very small price to obtain a shop with excellent location. The Gu Tongzhang also promised to give her a few hectares of fertile land outside the city.

"It's a bit bad." Wang Zheng said.

"I know this man is not good, but those people die after all, and the evil is done by the soldiers of the court. What does it have to do with me? If I get the farmland of these residences, I will definitely make a great wish and take out some money every year to help the people of Jiangzhou."

"Your conscience has not finally been destroyed."

"What are you saying? So many people from Jiangbei have come. Are all of them unconsciences?" the little maid said angrily.

"Miss, aren't you afraid that the new magistrate will come to check?" Song Jiu stopped Wang Zhen and asked lightly.

"The new magistrate must buy the face of Zhang Zhizhou."
Chapter completed!
