by searching i found
4S+4NaOH ---->2Na2S + Na2S2O3+2H2O
and this
S + NaOh ---> Sodium polysulphide + H2O
how we can control the two equations

Did you note consentrations?

This has already been discussed in many places, for example in the polysulfides thread.

Yes, and lvjrf already asked this question in the 'Agricultural Sulfur' thread.
Yes

But no answer ?

The latter equation is wrong and the answer is easier than it looks, some sulphur must be oxidised to balence and this happens the same with either
product.
Aside from oxidised species, excess NaOH will produce sulphide, excess sulphur will form sulphides and disulphides, large excess polysulphides if it
reacts that far. Fusing sulphur with sodium carbonate is the standard way to make mixed long chain polysulphides (the liver of sulphur method usually
done with potash).
