After a while, Zheng Lang stood up and shook his head.

Sun Mian asked Yu Jing: "Xingzhi, what are you looking at?"

"I'm a kind of grass..." Zheng Lang didn't say anything, and suddenly said: "Let's go back."

Sun Mian and Yu Jing looked at the clump of grass and followed suspiciously.

When Zheng Lang returned to the prefecture yamen, he immediately wrote a letter to Wei Guan, the governor of Guangzhou. Before the southeast wind officially started, there were also large food ships heading south to Guangzhou Port, asking them to find something for themselves. This thing was the inspiration for Zheng Lang to see the grass on the side of the road.

At first I thought those grasses were pyrethra, which made him ecstatic. But when I walked over and carefully identified it, it was not. But it didn't matter. This inspired him and thought of another thing, mosquito coil. If you want people not to be afraid, you have to eliminate any miasma. It takes some time to treat malaria, and malaria, which is the main thing. If you want to treat malaria, you must treat it first and prevent it. Artemisinin is best used. Artemisinin comes from Artemisinin, but how to use the existing conditions of the Song Dynasty to turn Artemisinin into Artemisinin, Zheng Lang didn't know. So he only announced one thing, knowing that Artemisinin from Wuling to Chongqing is the most effective. He purchased a large amount of Artemisinin here to treat malaria that may occur in the army.

The second is to stay away from mosquitoes, mosquito net method, and some local methods to avoid it. The common method in the Song Dynasty was to collect duckweed on the Dragon Boat Festival, add realgar, and use paper to wrap it in fragrance to remove mosquitoes. Some people used rosin powder, mugwort powder, tobacco leaf powder, a small amount of arsenic and sulfur as ingredients to sow mosquitoes. In some places, green wormwood was used to sow mosquitoes, but mugwort was not allowed. They also used eels, eels, turtles and other bones as medicine, and wrapped in paper three or four feet long, and smoked them in the evening. There are various methods.

If it doesn’t matter much, the best way is to put on a mosquito net.

Seeing those wild grasses similar to pyrethra. Zheng Lang thought that pyrethra seems to be not available in China for the time being, but in West Asia and the Mediterranean East China Sea, there are many such plants. No one has realized its efficacy for the time being.

As long as you get it, the mosquito coil has been going through a long time from scratch, but it is not a problem for Zheng Lang. Add wood chip powder, starch, nanmu powder, and a certain proportion of pyrethrum flower and leaf powder to make a beautiful pan-shaped fragrance.

Once mosquito coils officially appear, they will play an irreplaceable role in southern development.

It was still not found in China, so Wei Guan asked Dashi merchants to search for it. In order to stimulate their enthusiasm, Zheng Lang also wrote a letter in person to promise that if a large number of seeds of this plant could be found, the first person to arrive would be rewarded with a reward of 5,000 yuan. Others also bought it at a high price.

I carefully drew a few pictures and used words to explain it, for fear of getting it wrong.

The letter was sent to Guangzhou quickly, and Zheng Lang sat down to ponder. Because the gap between the two civilizations was too big, he knew some things, but he didn't know what methods to use to transform them. But is there anything like mosquito coils that have practical value and are not strict in technology? Zheng Lang sat down and thought about it carefully, but there were too many things in his mind that he couldn't think of it for a while.

So he brought the map information handed over by officials from various places and added it to a large map. This was his order after he came to Guizhou to send the topographic maps of the prefectures and the locations of miasma distribution and related information one by one. However, it was still imperfect, and many areas were blank, and it was not known how much information presented by these officials was correct.

Zheng Lang was stunned when he spread the big map and stared at the map.

The map is super large and full of a desktop. This is the topographic map of all areas southwest of the Song Dynasty, including western Sichuan.

Looking at the map, various information rumbling in Zheng Lang's mind. The main ones are barbarians. If divided according to large areas, they are divided into seven major areas from Sichuan to the coast. The first part is Zhuman in southern Chengdu, Qiongbuman, Lianglinman, Fengpiman, Baosaiman, Wumengman, etc. Some of them surrender to the Song Dynasty, some who surrendered to Dali, some who surrendered to both sides at the same time, or those with uncertain things. The main production is kapok products, white felts, and cattle, horses and sheep. Among them, although the Liangxi horse is Sichuan horse, it was named the imperial horse because of its gentle personality. Since the popularity of cotton, the demand for kapok has decreased and the number of horses in the city has been controlled. The court then adopted Zheng Lang's method and replaced the reward with real objects. However, there are still many contradictions.

The second part is the Marine Man in Weizhou, which is actually mostly Han and Tibetan ethnic groups, and there are other ethnic groups. But God knows where it became a race later? These barbarians are fierce by nature, but there is no unified and powerful Tubo support behind them. Coupled with the disguised comforts of the Song Dynasty, such as the city-horse trade, tribute trade, and the trade in the Bohan-Han trade, it became the quietest one.

The third part is the barbarians between Luzhou and Rongzhou. These people are fast-living and use oxen to plow, and every household has food to store food. However, due to the dispute over the salt well, although the court used various pension policies, it did not work and kept rebelling. It was not easy to solve. If the salt well is released, the salt is actually not valuable, and it is a false price that was only made after the salt franchise of the Song Dynasty. If the salt well is handed over to these barbarians, the entire Sichuan salt administration will be corrupt. If the imperial court controls, the local tycoons believe that these salt wells belong to them, not to the Song Dynasty, and they are always dissatisfied, which leads to endless wars.

This part can be placed behind, and the key is the next four parts.

The first part is the Limans on the Leizhou Peninsula and Hainan. They may not all be Li people. Later on, there were other ethnic groups. The only surnames are Wang Fu, Zhang and Li, and the same surname is married. The land is mostly primitive commune public ownership, and there are also private maids and private property. The famous one is the textile craftsmanship of Li women. The pattern is exquisite and even the major brand products of the Central Plains are inferior. There are also silver-skin wine, betel nut, famous fragrance, coconut, pony, green feather, yellow wax, sumum, and Jibei, etc. that are popular in the Central Plains, but unfortunately they are blocked and not energetic. Only some Han people are farming in the seaside areas. The Song Dynasty managed these Han areas near the prefectures and counties, and the Song Dynasty almost ignored the places far away from the city.

This is the system of restraint in the Song Dynasty. Emperor Zhenzong of Song once said that I had warned the border ministers not to harass foreigners. If they kill each other, but use the local system to solve the problem, they should not use national laws to bring them to them. Otherwise, trouble will occur. The way to restrain them is here.

Therefore, many regions have anti-trends and are becoming more and more backward. Zheng Lang insisted on waiting for Nong Zhigao to make things worse before he proposed to operate the South.

This is a backward ethnic policy that is backward and thankless.

The second part is the Dongman, which has a wider distribution range. The habit is slavery. The children born by slaves are slaves. Women work, woodcutting and harvesting. It is mostly women's responsibility to take advantage of the ruins, while men carry and feed and sit in the cottage. Therefore, men are often not as strong as women. Including the rebels of Nongzhigao, there are many female soldiers, who fight extremely fiercely. The specialty is exquisitely crafted cotton cloth, brocade, and porcelain. But agriculture is the same as Liman. It is very backward. The wise only use their feet to plow, while the laggards and slashes and fires. After planting, they do not know how to water and irrigate, waterlogging, dredge and accumulate water, and do not know how to seeds. They are in the sky.

Seeing this backward situation, many officials did not want to worry too much, including Su Dongpo who was exiled to Lingnan, and only taught a few children to read some words.

The third part is the 未man on Jinghu South Road. He attaches importance to property and marriage, often for revenge and production is extremely backward. However, because he is close to the Central Plains, the Song Dynasty was strict in governance here, and many barbarians were converted into familiar barbarians, but the above was good at using good intentions and repeatedly ordered local officials not to use various disguised means to strip the people. However, when the officials below implemented it, it was different, and a large number of conflicts arose. Moreover, there was a Meishan barbarian behind it, which became a long-standing disaster for the court.

The fourth part is the Sheman at the junction of Jiangnan Road and Fujian Road and Guangnan Road. It is also very backward. Some She tribes are also facing Chengshun towards the Song Dynasty, but because the officials did not do well below, countless disputes arise one after another. The main production is She rice, a kind of red stem with a fragrant and beautiful taste, but the yield is extremely low.

The reason for this is not only due to the court's policies, but also the barbarians' own factors, and another important reason is the national issue.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Han scholar-official group developed a mentality of fear and rejection towards the Hu people and barbarians. The Han people's ideas were rising, so a wealthy businessman in the Song Dynasty often could marry a princess, but the prince of any country could not marry a princess of the Song Dynasty unless it was forcibly captured. Therefore, he held a subconscious mind of exclusion and isolation for the barbarians and did not want to integrate.

Anyway, it's a headache.

Moreover, he didn't have much time yet. Nong Zhigao rebelled and the court spent a lot of money to pacify it. No one opposed it and could not indulge Nong Zhigao to continue to torture. However, after rebellion and suppression, he continued to spend a lot of money on this area every year. Over time, there would be a lot of discussion. He had to let everyone see some results within one or two years to block the mouth of the verbal minister, but the actual situation was very complicated.

While thinking, Yu Jing brought someone to the Yatang.

Zheng Lang looked up at the man.

Yu Jing said: "You are Xiao Zhu Xiao Yanfu, who led more than 2,000 brave soldiers to burn the warships of Nong Zhigao during the siege of Guangzhou."

"I've met Mr. Zheng."

"Xiao Libin, don't be too polite, sit down." Zheng Lang said.

Yu Jing said embarrassedly again: "Xingzhi, Yongzhou Song Kulong was unethical, but who would be the candidate for Xingzhi?"

Zheng Lang understood. Xiao Zhu was originally the magistrate of Panyu County. When Guangzhou was besieged, he was very brave and promoted to deputy envoy of the concierge. Then Yu Jing used the policy of appeasement and used money to bribe Huang Shouling and other major chiefs, so he used this person to go to the barbarian account to persuade him. Di Qing was very angry about this matter. After killing Chen Shu, he summoned Xiao Zhu to the tent, and most of them wanted to continue to kill him. Xiao Zhu heard that Chen Shu and others died, so he did not dare to come, so he asked him to be You Yan and continue to stay in another place. Seeing that he invited Huang Shouling to discuss matters, Di Qing went to Temo again, so he called this person back to Yongzhou and replaced Song Kron as the new magistrate of Yongzhou, and put the matter into a foregone conclusion. Then Di Qing would have no choice.

He continued to look at Xiao Zuo and asked, "Xiao Libin, why did I ask Di Qing to go to Temo Village?"

"General Di is like a god."

"Wrong, although Temo Village is difficult to attack, it is not just Nong Zhigao. Di Qing went to Temo Village as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, but it was a waste of talent. The reason why Di Qing went to Temo Village was that he had pleaded thousands of innocent people who were threatened to go home after pacifying Yongzhou. I once said before Di Qing left, "A total of eight characters, benevolence is heartfelt, and power is like thunder! Although the prefect of Yongzhou is vacant, it is still incomplete after the rebellion of the Nong thief, and there are more than 30 prisoners. After Wang Yaochen's advice, he assisted in the six states of Qin, Bin, Lian, Heng, Xun, and Gui. It is of great importance and must be both kind and power. Be kind is law, power is the basis, kindness is benevolence, power and righteousness. Can you master this? "

It was not that Zheng Lang intended to make things difficult for Yu Jing and Xiao Zhu, but that Xiao Zhu was not able to stay in the south. First, Yu Jing promoted him and Wang Cheng and others to destroy Temo Village but failed to achieve success. Finally, it was replaced by Yang Yuanqing, Chen Chong, and Yang Wenguang, and other generals. But the court still did not blame him, and he replaced Yu Jing as the governor of Yongzhou for several years, but was dismissed if he was not competent.

Yu Jing was a little unhappy.

Zheng Lang continued, "Brother An Dao. You probably don't know that this trip between Di Qing and I will be in the south for five or six years. Not only will we manage Guangdong and Guangxi, but it is possible to have two lakes and Kui Zi."

You are not afraid of Di Qing causing trouble for Xiaozhu, although you recommend it. But there is another meaning. In addition to Guangdong, Guangxi, Lianghu and Kuizi Road, there are other official positions in other fields. I will not interfere with it if you use your means to recommend Xiaozhu to take the official position.

However, Zheng Lang thought of someone.

Some people in the court were good at being an official, and everyone in the court was very good at being an official. The only highlight of Nong Zhigao's rebellion at the beginning of the rebellion, Su Jian was demoted to Fangzhou Sima due to the mistakes of Jincheng Post. Yu Jing made contributions, Chen Shu and others were beheaded, and the court wanted to cover up Yu Jing, so Su Jian and others became scapegoats.

In fact, at this time, Yongzhou really wanted to send a good official to govern better than before. The various caves that should be dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty were already involved in the anti-Song army. Even if the rest were waiting and watching, they would not have any malice towards the Song Dynasty. All they needed was a good policy and a good parent official.

He rejected Yu Jing and then recommended Su Jian.

It has nothing to do with the same year, and Su Yan is indeed a relatively capable official.

As the court promoted or demoted the generals and ministers, the most serious one was Song Kron. He removed the name, and was assigned to Shamen Island. He inspected the Xidongdu City and Liuzhuang. He removed the name, and was assigned to Fujian Prison City. Wang Fang, the chief clerk of the Peninsula, and Yang Deyan, the chief clerk of Lingshan County, was removed and was assigned to Hunan's city without being hired. Under the imperial edict, Zhao Zhen regretted the punishment was too heavy and sent an envoy to chase him. The heavy rain and hail of the day, and he could not catch up. Zhao Zhen continued to be a weak problem.

Later, he ordered his resignation to return to Sun Mian. Yu Jing and Guizhou were the governor of Guizhou. He also used Tian Yu as the scale appeasement envoy of Guangnan East Road, and Zhou Mian as the scale appeasement envoy of the West Road, sharing Zheng Lang's affairs and cooperating with Zheng Lang to govern Guangdong and Guangxi. In fact, he didn't know whose proposal was, but he could cooperate and share some of the rights. However, Zheng Lang was very happy after hearing this. Tian Yu served as an official in the south many times, understood military and political affairs, and was good at governing the water, simplified government and had few articles, and praised the people wherever he passed. Zhou Mian also had rich experience in local governance and had great achievements in governing. The two of them came to the south and would be a good assistant. Guangdong and Guangxi were too short of good officials. But now they had military generals such as Di Qing, and Zhou Mian, Tian Yu, and ministers such as Yuan Tao, Sun Kang, and Zhu Shoulong, Bao Ke, which made Zheng Lang feel a little flattered.

Zhou Han and Tian Yu did not come, and Su Jian served as the governor of Yongzhou in advance. This was for the sake of Zheng Lang's recommendation, otherwise he would have been moved a little longer. Zheng Lang returned to Guizhou and the conference began in the middle of February.

Many cave lords and village lords came.

But at least half did not come. Most of them were in the mountains, and officials did not dare to inform them. Some were afraid of them and a few were despised.

Zheng Lang was not angry either. He was isolated for a long time and had his own difficulties. It made Zheng Lang feel very happy to have so many major cave lords and village lords coming.

Just by the banks of the Lijiang River, he split a place in the open air, prepared some prey from the mountains, made barbecue with the river fish in the river, and distributed a jar of fine wine, but still focused on comforting. Zheng Lang then said serious business, stood up and bowed to all sides, and these chiefs also stood up and returned the gift. After all, unlike the officials who came to the south before, Zheng Lang was the most authentic prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Lang waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down and speak slowly. Some people didn't understand the official words of the Song Dynasty, so they had to let their subordinates and friends interpret. They said slowly: "Everyone, I'll call you up to do some things. The first thing is to run schools and promote education. Lingnan is far from the capital. Many talented children are knowledgeable, but they are still not allowed to enter the imperial examination due to their journey. Therefore, I reported to Your Majesty a few times ago, setting up a pacification department in Guangzhou to preside over the imperial examination similar to the provincial examination in the imperial examination. About 40 of them passed the examination and sent them directly to the capital to participate in the palace examination."

Some chiefs were not clear about this meaning and did not speak, but more chiefs heard a lot of discussion.

This method is to follow the Southern Song system. Sichuan is too far from Hangzhou. It set up a department in Chengdu to host the provincial examination. Those who pass the examination will be sent directly to Hangzhou to participate in the palace examination. The quota is not high, and it may only account for one-tenth of the provincial examination admission quota. However, the entire Guangdong and Guangxi economy is backward and education is even more backward. Will forty people be admitted to the provincial examination exam in previous years?

In fact, the meaning of this system is connection.

Guangdong and Guangxi use personnel, one is the officials who are punished, the second is officials from the south, and the third is the locals. Since the locals are used, why not use "son of the emperor"? Let the south and the Central Plains be closely tolerated. If it can be achieved, many children from Guangdong and Guangxi will have the opportunity to be out of the way. But the next sentence is not shocking, Zheng Lang suppressed his hands and asked everyone to stop talking and continued: "In addition, someone will set up a college in Guizhou, recruit great scholars from the Central Plains, teach Lingnan children to learn, and I will also come here to teach all the children."

The emperor's disciple is too far away, but the prime minister's disciple is right in front of you.

Everyone understood, stood up one by one, dancing.
