"It's the Taiyuan City Wall."

Song Jiu thought for a while and replied, "Your Majesty, when it comes to Taiyuan City Wall, I suddenly thought of a battle in the Tang Dynasty. Shi Siming surrounded Taiyuan City. Li Guangbi sent people to dig tunnels to the outside of the city. He then supported it with wood support below, deliberately used food to make a surrender. On the day of the surrender, Shi Siming's army came to greet him and pulled out the wood support. Thousands of rebels fell into the ground. Li Guangbi took advantage of the rebels' panic, and the three armies attacked and killed tens of thousands of rebels. This time was very

It was long, so I thought that the underground would be very dry, which would facilitate the digging of tunnels. However, when I was doing something about the cattle, I passed by several counties in Hedong and saw that the rivers were turbulent and the Fen River was on the edge of Taiyuan City. If the Northern Han people were prepared and digging the moat wide and deep, no matter how big the water level was, it would be that if the capital protected Long River and the water flow was calm, it would be difficult to throw soil into the river. If the river could not be filled, the tunnel could not be dug up, and gunpowder could not be sent under the city wall to play a role."

"This damn Liu Jiye."

"Yang Chongxun's brother Yang Ye?"

"It's him, he sent his men to re-dug the moat of Taiyuan City as you said."

"How did Your Majesty think of Taiyuan City?"

Zhao Kuangyin didn't tell the truth.

Liu Jun was critically ill, and Liu Ji'en served him day and night, and no trick worked. This trick worked the most. For example, Cao Cao's son Cao Pi and Cao Cao went on a trip. Cao Zhi wrote poems and essays, and he could not beat Cao Pi's tears. For example, Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi. So Liu Jun had decided to take Guo Wuwei's hands before his death and held the funeral. He hoped that Guo Wuwei would become Zhuge Liang of the Northern Han Dynasty and said many sad words. Guo Wuwei was also very sad at that time. He came down from Wudang Mountain and first defected to Guo Wei. Guo Wei kicked him away, which was taken away by Liu Chong. He used it more seriously in Liu Jun's hands. This was the kindness of knowing the favor.

Originally, this show of entrusting the orphanage was done well, but in a blink of an eye, Guo Wuwei saw some flashes in Liu Ji'en's eyes. The favor of the Liu family turned into nothing again. Under the persuasion of two senior spies Zhao Kuangyin, he finally decided to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

The three of them jointly wrote a letter and sent their subordinates to Kaifeng City, saying that although Liu Jien was Liu Jun's adopted son, he was not from the Liu family's bloodline. This statement is not right. However, although Liu Jien has the Liu family's bloodline, it comes from his mother's inconclusiveness, so the ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty may not be convinced. As long as the Song Dynasty sent troops, they could persuade Liu Jien to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

When Zhao Kuangyin saw this letter, he analyzed it in his mind. There were two conditions. One was that as Guo Wuwei said, his bloodline was impure, which was different from Chai Rong. Guo Wei had no brothers, and even Chai Rong's relatives were killed by Emperor Yin of the Later Han. Even so, he was still troubled by Feng Dao. Think about Liu Jun's brothers who were like wolves and tigers. Furthermore, Guo Wuwei had been prime minister for many years and had also established a huge force in the Northern Han Dynasty. Therefore, he might have won the Northern Han Dynasty at a very small price, so why not do it? After getting the letter, he ordered Lu Huaizhong to lead the troops to Luzhou in order to conquer the Northern Han Dynasty at any time.

However, the Taiyuan City Wall, which was killed by the sky, came to Song Jiu's family to ask this question.

Song Jiu looked at Zhao Kuangyin suspiciously. Could it be that he really changed his strategy of first south and then north. He wanted to attack the Northern Han?

The Northern Han Dynasty had little problem, and there was also the Khitan.

It cannot be said that cavalry kills all infantry. There are too many cases of infantry defeating cavalry in Chinese history. Liu Yu bows to the moon formation. Meng Tian defeats the Xiongnu, and Xie Xuan's northern military soldiers have good achievements in field battles against the Northern Wei cavalry. The most tragic time was Li Ling, who led 5,000 infantry to march north from Juyanhai for 30 days to reach Junji Mountain (Altai Mountain, Mongolia Gobi Mountain), met with 30,000 Xiongnu Shanyu, and killed thousands of people. Shanyu was ashamed and angry as he summoned reinforcements, with a total of 80,000 cavalry. Sixteen to one! Li Ling had to fight and retreat because he was an infantryman and was slow, so he could not get rid of the Shanyu army. He fought dozens of fierce battles along the way, killing tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry, retreating to Wukang Mountain (Mongolian Bogdo Mountain), and was exhausted from ammunition and food, and was defeated and captured. Before the capture, Li Ling said that as long as we were given ten arrows, we could support the border.

In addition, Li Mu defeated the Hu army, mainly infantry and cavalry as the auxiliary, which was very similar to the current Song army.

But in general, cavalry has an absolute advantage over infantry.

Zhao Kuangyin said, "Song Jiu, you are thinking about your Youzhou first and then the Northern Han Dynasty. No, the Khitan should not be underestimated. Once the two countries are in Youzhou, the consequences will be unimaginable. It is a good thing for your academy to set up martial arts, but it seems that teaching in your hands will only mislead people's children. I will send a few veterans to guide you in the future."

Zhao Kuangyin did not interfere in the martial arts learning. This martial arts would not work. I don’t know how many Zhao Kuo that would harm the country would be taught by Song Jiu.

"Your Majesty, this is the best..." Song Jiudao was not very happy. These old guys came over and might make the academy mess. He thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I have been thinking about one thing. In the future, a mountain leader must be established. Why not ask Your Majesty to be this mountain leader."

"It's not appropriate, I don't have time to teach my children," said Zhao Kuangyin. That was not decent.

"No, as long as your Majesty comes and talks after school starts or graduates, these students will become students of the emperor, not students of the weak ministers, not students of Dr. Zhang Yan, but students of His Majesty. Then they will be more loyal to the country in the future."

Zhao Kuangyin was very moved.

To be honest, it is not the students born in this school that are not born in the academy, and they will recruit more students. They will gather together under Song Jiu. Although Song Jiu is not enterprising, it is not good. When Song Jiu saw it, he vaguely verified his judgment. Zhao Kuangyin was not too vicious, which has to be admitted, but he is still suspicious, so he said: "Your Majesty, I will dare to ask the first and second deputy mountain commander. Liang Zhouhan, the Tongzhi of Mianzhou, is the first deputy mountain commander, and Zhu Ang, the second deputy mountain commander," said again: "Your Majesty, I will dare to ask the first and second deputy mountain commander. Liang Zhouhan, the Tongzhi of Mianzhou, is the first deputy mountain commander, and Zhu Ang, the Yicheng commander."

The two were very famous in literature. It is said that Liang Zhouhan could write lyrics at the age of ten, and they were called Gao Xi, Liu Kai, Fan Gao, and Gao Liang Liu Fan. Originally, Zhao Kuangyin was going to use him as an edict to Shi Shouxin, and Shi Shouxin notified Liang Zhouhan in advance. The boy was excited and thanked him. Zhao Kuangyin was furious and demoted him repeatedly. Now he was demoted to Meizhou as a little judge. Zhu Ang was not a small scholar. The great scholar Zhu Zundu was fond of studying and was called Zhu Wanjuan, but Zhu Zundu was a little Wanjuan. The two were famous in literature, but they didn't have much role in the officialdom. Maybe they would do anything in the future, but it was an excellent candidate to serve as the deputy chief. And they came because of their reputation. Song Jiu could only obediently become the third deputy chief.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Song Jiu.

Song Jiu said: "Only in this way can we cancel the mark of the empress in the academy. The school house is the empress of the empress, and the houses are all the empresses. But the academy is not Taiyi Academy, they are independent from the world. This academy trains officials and officials of the country. If you carry the personal mark, it must be His Majesty, not the minister or the great scholar. The country needs the master's knowledge, but does not need a second master. Just like Haotian, there can only be a sun."

Zhao Kuangyin said nothing.

Song Jiu was too conscious. He was embarrassed to agree. Song Jiu said again: "It's not a humble minister, but a rule for future generations."

"I approved this report. I used a lot of money to compile these books, right?" It would be better if the Song army arrived, Guo Wuwei settled the matter and easily took it back to the Northern Han Dynasty. If not, he could only send someone to see if he could fill the moat in Taiyuan City. If not, he could fill it up. If he could not fill it up, Song Jiu could not use the power of gunpowder, and Taiyuan City would also be a headache. Asking out the answer is equivalent to not the answer. He changed the topic and asked at the manuscript.

"I used a lot of money. But the other side of Weichen also made a profit. In May, I joined hands with my two brothers and sent someone to bring some mirrors. I went to Wuyue, Fujian and Guangzhou to sell the mirrors to Fanzi. There was no news in Fujian and Guangzhou, but there was news in Hangzhou. The two managers sold more than 80,000 mirrors and got more than 30,000 yuan in profits. They should be able to maintain Weichen's expenses. But it was not very ideal."

I just came back not long ago. When I went there, I was a light boat. It was fast. I arrived in Hangzhou in a month and started looking for a merchant. In fact, it was not as much as Song Jiu imagined. Therefore, although it was a rare thing, the profit was not as much as Song Jiu imagined.

More than 800 mirrors were sold, and only more than 50,000 yuan was sold. It was not expensive, and one was not enough. Then I had to rent a boat south to Guangzhou, Quanzhou. The rental fee was not too high, but it was a small boat, with only a few dozen materials, mainly fast, light, and even able to drive the oars against the wind. But the mirror also costs and pay taxes. Four sea boats spent nearly 8,000 yuan. This calculation made only more than 30,000 yuan of profit. And it was only half the profit for two families.

But there will be some people who will quickly bring money and silk back to the capital by fast boats. The foreign merchants mainly have gold and silver, which is easy to carry, which is not imagined by Song Jiu. Foreigners' exports account for a large proportion of trade, that is, trade is on the other side, and Wu and Yue are the importing countries. Therefore, they have a large amount of copper coins and cloth in their hands. If they want to bring the exquisite cloth back to the big food, they are not very happy to ask for it, or buy other goods back to the copper coins. So they also handed them over to the manager as currency. So when they went, the two ships were empty, when they came, the two ships were full, and they also hired a ship. Otherwise, the speed would be faster.

The spices are also operated, but not Song Jiu, so they are handed over to other managers. The two managers bring thousands of mirrors, but they don’t bring high-end glass, and there are also Dashi. At present, they are still mainly profitable.

Song Jiu did not hide it. I believe that if he could hide it from Zhu Yanei, he would definitely not hide it from Zhao Kuangyin. But it was not ideal. The Pan brothers were enough, but Song Jiu was far from enough. Song Jiu did not mention this matter and said, "Your Majesty, I will show you a good thing."

When Song Jiu mentioned good things, that was good things. Zhao Kuangyin followed Song Jiu to the outside of the city to see the cotton fields.

He mainly uses experiments, and he can't take care of it for the time being. He doesn't have many seeds, so he can only plant six or seven acres of land. Song Jiu has seen it, but he doesn't understand it very much, so he divided it into more than a dozen small pieces and conducted different experiments, such as seedling cultivation of nutrition bowls. He has also heard of it, but he doesn't know what it is. Some use bamboo tubes to make fertilizer mud as nutrition bowls, and some use paper tubes as nutrition bowls, and then test the amount of fertilizers, fertilizer types, and three fertilizer soil. People can't afford it. They can only use farm fertilizer and wood ash for testing, and then test the number of plants per mu. The number of plants per mu is only 1,000, and the number of plants a little higher is 5,000. Then test the crippling technology. In this way, the harvest will lead to a comparison. Then we will further test the two or three pieces of the highest yield in the next year. There is no hurry anyway, so we can take it slowly. After a few years, the planting method is tested, and the seeds are adapted to evolution, so we can promote it to the people.

It wasn't too ideal, but this was what Song Jiu expected.

Song Jiu picked a cotton bollard and said, "Your Majesty, it is it. If the textile machine can be researched and evolved successfully, it will bring earth-shaking changes to the whole north. For example, if this cotton wool is used as a quilt, the people will not be cold in winter. If it is used as a cotton coat, soldiers will not be afraid of the coldness and bitterness of the north. Its yield is several times better than that of mulberry silkworms. A mulberry silkworm can only take one pound of silk per acre, and it can take six to seventy kilograms of cotton wool, which is fifty times that of silk. This year it is an experiment, and there will not be too many. In addition to leaving the strong cotton seeds for seeds, the powerful can get about one hundred kilograms of cotton wool. At that time, Weichen made a few quilts and gave His Majesty a few beds."

After watching for most of the day, Zhao Kuangyin found that the money Song Jiu earned was a trivial matter, mainly food and food. Finally, he brought a few cotton peaches back.

The next day, Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict, using Li Jixun as the commander of the Hedong camp, that is, the commander of the army, Dang Jin as the deputy commander, Cao Bin as the chief supervisor, He Jiyun as the vanguard, Kang Yanze's eldest brother Kang Yanzhuo as the chief supervisor, and Zhao Zan as the Fenzhou Road, that is, the commander of the second army, Si Chao as the deputy commander of Li Qianpu as the chief supervisor. Several generals were brave generals of the Song Dynasty, and asked them to lead two armies to set out towards Taiyuan.

Then another edict was issued, and Einstein, a Westerner, was presented as a gift. Zhao Kuangyin once asked Song Jiu about his details. Song Jiu couldn't explain it clearly, and he didn't even know which country, so he had to give a Westerner in front. Yesterday, he saw cotton, which made Zhao Kuangyin miss Einstein very much...
