Chapter 3268 Throwing stones to break through the underwater sky

Zhao Xing shook his head disapprenously: "The development of the two lakes is my next established policy. The lake is wide and the world is full. The two lakes and two vast lands are fertile, the rice crops are three crops a year, and the water system is developed.

Those people are now busy with party disputes, and our magistrates have to work hard--- I discussed with Xie Lin, from this year onwards, the two lakes and two Guangxi will each emigrate 500,000 yuan, I will pay for the construction of roads and rivers, Xie Lin will use rice to repay the debt to my two Guangzhou, and we will work together to manage Huguang well. ”

Shan Yi smiled: "I don't care, I can be promoted to a Zhizhou, big and small are also five-grade officials, although they are all pointing and shooting, but Jinghu is always higher than Liangguang." You spend money, I get promoted, and I have nothing to complain about. However, if you don't regret it in the future, it's hard to say. In the past few years, you have reclaimed less land, and the price of grain in Guangdong is getting lower and lower year by year, and I expect Jinghu to repay 10 million yuan of huge money by relying on grain, and I estimate that they will have to pay it back for 100 years, maybe 200 years. ”

Zhan Fan and Zhou Wenzhi have been listening to Shan Yi and Zhao Xing's quarrel, hearing this, they were happy, and they interjected and added: "That's that, the most important thing in Guangzhou now is food, in recent years, Shan Daren has renovated the river, Guangzhou has been in good weather, and the farmers don't take much care of the fields, that is, they sow seeds in the spring, and then go to the factory to work by themselves." Local grain has basically been sown and harvested every day.

The two of us came from Huizhou and Xunzhou, and it happened to be the time of the summer grain harvest, and we didn't see a single young man in the field, all of them were old people and women. But even in this case, the price of grain in Guangzhou has not risen, and the grain from Jinghu alone has been repaid by 10 million yuan, and I am afraid that you and I will not see the day when they pay off their arrears.

Lord Zhao let Xie Yinglao deceive, maybe Xie Yinglao is now taking 10 million yuan and rolling all over the ground happily. ”

The smile on Zhao Xing's face did not decrease. He replied, "It's called the stone-throwing effect, and I spent this money without expecting them to pay it back." Just cast it. If this money is invested, the economy along the Shaozhou line will be revitalized. In addition, small merchants and small farmers in our two regions can sell our goods in Guangzhou to the rich Dongting, which is called a strong economic absorption effect. Our goods in Guangzhou will absorb the wealth of the north and south of Jinghu Lake.

Don't look at Xie Lin's happiness now, maybe he will cry in the future. Of course, he probably doesn't have a chance to cry in his life. Because this chip absorption will be a long process, most likely in one or two hundred years to complete.

Think about it, people have to walk on land, over mountains and mountains, the sun rises and sets out, and the sun sets to find a hotel to stay, and when you are in a hurry, you are afraid of missing the accommodation, so you can't walk much in a day. It's different when you go by boat, people live on the boat, eat on the boat, and the wind doesn't blow. The rain doesn't get drenched--- in this day and age, is there anything easier than traveling by boat?

I am rich in Guangzhou, and now I am famous. People in the mainland know about it, but they don't necessarily know how to come to Guangzhou to make a living. People north of Yangzhou only know to rush to Yangzhou, so what about the people in Sichuan? With this small canal, Chengdu people can drift all the way down the Yangtze River to Guangzhou.

Don't underestimate the courage of the common people. Once the people knew where they lived. You don't have to be afraid of the sky. And so it goes. Guangzhou's ability to absorb immigrants will be accelerated several times. Dozens of times. And they don't have to pay for their immigration. ”

Zhao Xing mentioned Chengdu. Shan Yi's face changed. Look at Zhao Xing carefully. Squinted his eyes and asked, "Your Excellency mentioned Chengdu." Could it be that the adults swallowed Jinghu. Still unfinished...... What are you thinking? Chengdu borders Tibet. It wasn't long before the Tibetans attacked you. Are you ...... Never mind. You don't have to tell me. I'm going to Chenzhou to take office. Isn't it just digging a hundred-mile-long ditch? Bagatelle! Oh. For this reason. Are you going to ask the court to transfer an army for you again? ”

Zhao Xing smiled but did not answer. Shan Gong is not polite. He stood up. As he walked out the door, he said, "I'm leaving." I don't plan to sell the shares of Xijiang River Shipping---- you promised me at the beginning. Wait until I'm done repairing the river. Every sailing boat on the river. Pay me one silver coin for each one-way trip. I've never received this money...... Never mind. I don't want to ask you for an account. I'll settle accounts with your Mrs. Chen. ”

"Looking for Zhang Zhuowei". Zhao Xingchong shouted at his back: "Mrs. Chen has been absent for most of the year. Now the money is in charge of Zhang Zhuowei. You can rest assured. Not a single copper plate will be missing you. ”

Zhang Zhuowei is the county lieutenant who Zhao Xing captured from Liao. He is now also on the mainland. Become Zhao Xingdi's housekeeper.

In a blink of an eye, he ran away and disappeared. Zhao Xing took the opportunity to turn his gaze to Zhan Fan and the surroundings. He said frankly: "The two of you took good care of my teacher Po Gong in office. Now their terms have expired. What else do you want to transfer to an official? You can choose between the two regions. ”

Zhan Fan was also not polite, he had a lot of contacts with Zhao Xing, and knew that once Zhao Xing regarded people as friends, he would be extraordinarily generous. He pointed to the map on the table and said, "I heard that the Overseas Affairs Department has been vigorous recently, and this term has expired, and I want to go to the Overseas Affairs Department to go around, and I heard that there is still a vacancy in the Governor of Boni, and I am willing to be the Governor of Boni." ”

Zhao Xing was shocked, and got up and arched his hand: "The current officials in Guangnan are rarely willing to go overseas to serve, Zhan Shou is willing to relieve my worries, very good, the Governor of Bo Ni is yours." ”

Zhan Fan grinned: "That's their stupidity, I read the regulations of your Overseas Affairs Department: Zhizhou grade, when you reach the foreign domain, you are like a king, and you don't have to worry about anything, just collect money and stamp it." After staying overseas for five years, I have made enough money and curiosities, and after returning to my hometown, why bother to be an official again, just teach my children. Didn't you say: Overseas Tibetans are not my Great Song people, serving as a governor, life and death, everything is based on the interests of my Great Song Dynasty. A governor, even the king of a foreign domain can be called around, this kind of majesty, how can a governor be compared. ”

Zhou Wenzhi added with a smile: "The amount of taxes in foreign domains and foreign territories, there is no law in the imperial court, how much the governor pays, of which thirty percent is the governor's income---- this is a good regulation, Zhan Shou picked a good place, Bo mud oil ore is sold to the Great Song Dynasty, there are also one million guan per year, three achievements are 300,000 guan, and you can get 1.5 million guan for a five-year term, which is still a legitimate income, and the three generations of grandchildren are enough to spend." ”

Zhao Xing looked at Zhou Wenzhi with interest. Q: "Zhou Shou is also interested?" ”

Zhou Wenzhi laughed and replied: "Xiaguan has a little friendship with Xie Yinglao, and I heard that Lord Zhao and Xie Yinglao asked for two positions in Zhizhou. A quilt is going to go, and the lower official also wants to go to Jinghu to change positions, I wonder if Lord Zhao can allow it? ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "I am going to build that canal, so I asked Xie Yinglao for the location of Chenzhou and Hengzhou, and the water runs through these two states and counties, leading directly to Dongting Lake, after repairing the canal." The road to the Yangtze River in Guangzhou has been opened, and the Pearl River water system is also connected to the Yangtze River water system, so the location of these two Zhizhou is very important.

I agreed with Xie Yinglao that whoever sits in that position needs to serve two consecutive terms for six years. Zhou Shou is willing to go, I can recommend it, but Zhou Shou has already served two terms as governor, you only need one term to be promoted, and you are willing to serve a second term. Continue to stay in Zhizhou? ”

Zhou Wenzhi picked up the teacup to cover his face, and said with a smile: "I have heard people say that adults complain that there has been no news from the two regions in the Di newspaper for several years. I went and looked it up. There are so many major events in Guangxi and Guangxi this year, and there is only one sentence in the newspaper, which idly recounts that Guangxi sent troops to destroy Dali, and there is not a word about it.

The adults sat in the position of Guangzhou and did so many great things. The court turned a blind eye, and I served two terms in a state governor's position, so what was it. But in the land of Jinghu for two consecutive terms, he may be able to enter the eyes of the imperial court, but maybe, the imperial court will not pay attention to it at all---- except for us officials in the two Guangzhous, in addition to those degraded officials, who else wants to come to this place of fingering?

I'm not greedy, the court party is so fierce. After two more terms. It doesn't matter if you are promoted, or if you don't get promoted. I can get in touch with the characters of the Central Plains, and it is not in vain for this life. Birth, and leave it to fate. ”

"Good! I will issue you with an official seal. Two, after the resignation of the Liangguang officials, if there is no problem in the accounts, I will also issue a pension bank---- which is a fund established with Dali's seizures, and the two of you can go to the Ji Si Wan Qiyong to settle the ......"

The two officials said goodbye with satisfaction, this will be kung fu, Li Yuan and Chen Gongchuan also discussed in Zhao Xing's backyard, Chen Yiyi led the two to find Zhao Xing, she bowed her head to the ground with a sad face, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Xianggong, you often say that heaven and earth are close to the teacher, and the five outlines of the world are constant, and you say: If you don't love your relatives, why do you love your family, you don't love your family, how do you love your country...... Now the concubine's family, life and death lie in the palm of the father's hand, please have mercy and mercy. ”

Zhao Xing stretched out his hand to pick up Chen Yiyi, and replied with a calm expression: "As a Song official, my mercy is only for the Song people. You are the daughter-in-law of my Song people, you don't need to plead with me, my mercy and love include you......"

Zhao Xing then turned to Chen Gongchuan and continued: "Originally, we were relatives or friends, originally when I sent troops to Dali, I didn't expect to beware of my own relatives, but I didn't expect that the Chen family soldiers would stab me in the back when I couldn't draw troops.

Originally, I would not let go of such a person who stabbed in the back, and having this person sleeping on the side of my couch would make me sleepless, but for Yiyi's face, I had polished the knife, but I couldn't cut it.

That's it, since you have already said that the imperial court has been moved, this matter will end here, to tell the truth, I do not plan to return the five northern cities within ten years, just for the sake of the imperial court, I cannot return it; For the sake of the Idi, I can't give it back. Because there must be ten years of construction time in the Cam Ranh area, otherwise, how do I know if it will be encroached upon, and with ten years of construction, I believe that people will not offend me, I will not offend people, and if people will offend me, I will not be afraid. ”

Li Yuan rolled his eyes.

What is called reversing black and white, this is called reversing black and white. Our family sent troops to capture not the land of the Great Song Dynasty, not even the land of Dali, at most the fetters of Dali, you set a trap, let me accidentally cross the border, and then, the army that had been waiting there ambushed us, and also invaded my Jiaozhi country, taking away our five most fertile cities, and now you are still full of truth---- is there any reason in this world?!

However, Li Yuan could only endure this breath, who called him "accidentally crossing the border"!

"Lord Zhao, I believe in you, but from now on, we are no longer friends, and you and I can only be officials of the two countries, farewell!" Li Yuan took his leave. Chen Gongchuan hesitated, glared at Zhao Xing fiercely, and caught up with Li Yuan's footsteps.

When the two of them walked away, Zhao Xing said to Chen Yiyi with a smile: "The Chen family and the Li family are relatives, and I remember that the Chen family is also qualified to inherit the position of the lord of Dayue." Does that mean that our son, the little King of Jinlan, is also qualified to be the king of Dayue? ”

Chen Yiyi's eyes widened blankly. Zhao Xing said slowly: "I let your child go to Cam Ranh and ordered him to manage that land, which is to set an example for the Vietnamese, you should think more about your child in the future, don't disturb my steps, you know, your land may also become the king of Vietnam." ”

Chen Yiyi's eyes became brighter and brighter. The mother always looks to her child, and as soon as Zhao Xing said this, Chen Yiyi's heart suddenly deviated to her husband. She rolled her eyes and said: "In this confrontation between the two countries, the losses are all my Chen family soldiers, the Li family has not been damaged, my brother has to come, if he dares to show a trace of inclination......"

Zhao Xing continued: "Now is the time, don't spit out your brother, if there are another ten years, you will control Cam Ranh City at the mouth of the Mekong River." It's not something that a small Vietnamese country can balance---- you have a number in your heart, the next time Vietnam asks me to return the five northern provinces, it will be the time for me to launch. At that time, whether Vietnam could exist or not depended on your intentions. ”

"Our child!" Chen Yiyi's eyes brightened.

"Well, it is often said that there are no two heavens and two authorities in one country, so I don't want to go to Cam Ranh. For as soon as I set foot on that land, the little need to salute me, and his unique authority is undermined. You are the same, in order to establish our authority, you had better run less to Jinlan in the future, and let the child toss by himself.

I plan to return to Cam Ranh every year on New Year's Day to be worshiped by my subjects, and the rest of the time I will be educated in Canton until he reaches adulthood. Cheng Shuang was there. I am building that land according to my heart's desire. I believe in his ability, you and I will let him toss. Cheng Shuang is the younger brother of the Cheng family, one day he will return to Huangzhou and return to his ancestral land, so what are we worried about? ”

Zhao Xingdi's words finally made Chen Yiyi let go of her psychological burden, she stood up, waved her hand vigorously, and said: "It's the concubine who is short-sighted, and she only sees that Jinlan Song Mall is thriving day by day, so she wants to guard that land, but she didn't expect that there will be a bigger family business." ”

Chen Yiyi was annoyed, glanced at Zhao Xing, and complained: "Xianggong, why didn't you remind you earlier?" ”

Zhao Xing smiled, the woman was unreasonable, there was no reason to talk about it, but seeing that Chen Yiyi began to be coquettish again, Zhao Xing nodded with satisfaction and said: "Jinlan's place is indeed a good place, it has a very deep harbor, and it can sail into a 10,000-ton ship, but unfortunately our current technology cannot reach the level of a 10,000-ton ship." With that port, with that fortress group, our fleet can directly block the Strait of Malacca, so that all ships going to the South Seas, or ships entering the Great Song Sea, must be cleared by our nods.

Cam Ranh City has developed fast enough in recent years, but it is not enough, I am ready to start from Dali and renovate the river leading to Cam Ranh City, so that Zhenla and Dali along the way are under our control, and the trade of the Nanyang Alliance can involve land and water, and communicate with the East and West...... The next step is to occupy the west bank of the Mekong estuary, and then build a twin-tower cable-stayed bridge, and several twin-tower cable-stayed bridges have recently been built on the Guangzhou River, and when the technology is mature, a few bridges will be built on the Mekong River, and the fertile alluvial plains on both sides of the river will be in your hands. ”

Chen Yiyi's eyes rolled, and he didn't know what he was thinking about, Zhao Xing waved his hand and said, "Today, the Hong Kong Futu Lighthouse is completed, and I am going to watch it at night, can you clean up and accompany me?" ”

Chen Yiyi shook his head: "Xianggong, the concubine's previous plans are wrong, there are still many things to re-plan, the concubine only knows today that the Great Song Dynasty is fundamental, so I have to correct it as soon as possible...... The prime minister went by himself, and the concubine still had a few letters to ask for

Zhao Xing waved his hand and said goodbye to Chen Yiyi, he strolled to the backyard and found that the eldest son Zhao Feng was sitting on the swing frame, swaying the swing lonely while humming an unknown song. Zhao Xing was going to stand at the door to greet the child, but seeing the child's lonely appearance, he couldn't help but quietly walk to the child's side and asked softly, "Are you ready?" Can we go? ”

Zhao Feng said slowly: "I don't have any preparation, father-in-law, do you want me to come forward on this occasion?" Why can't I play like a couple of younger brothers? ”

Zhao Xing touched Zhao Feng's head lovingly, and asked, "Why don't the younger brothers play with you, even your own brother Xiaoyun doesn't play with you?" ”

Zhao Feng replied sullenly: "My grandmother taught me to be steady, and I must act like a prime minister's family, and I also said that my father is doing great things, and I can't let the child ruin my father's reputation." But Master Su, as well as Uncle Huang and Uncle Chao, they don't like the stability of their younger brothers, and several younger brothers also say that children are not social, so I can only sit alone in the courtyard and swing, which is really not fun. ”

Zhao Xing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your mother...... Forget it, she is teaching children in the Song people's method, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere too much in this regard, but what she said is also right, it is good for children to stabilize the focus, as long as you keep this family business, it doesn't matter if you do anything else.

Next year, the court will give you an official, and after that, you will also be the one who takes the court's money, and I will arrange a good attendant for you, a good partner, and your task is to guard our home. As for participating in the imperial examination and becoming an official in the previous dynasty, that is the business of your younger brothers, and if possible, I do not approve of them going to the capital to become officials---- unless I change the world. ”

Zhao Feng nodded slowly, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "My father's speech is always so unfathomable, this is because the child's intelligence is not enough, or my father-in-law likes to say some nonsense." ”

Zhao Xing laughed, he beckoned and said, "Come, kid, today we are going to the beach to attend the unveiling ceremony of the Guangming Tower, hurry up...... By the way, the Li family's Qingzhao didn't come to accompany you, but she promised me. ”

Zhao Feng took Zhao Xing's hand, and said slowly as he walked: "The little lady of the Li family always likes to tease her younger brother, I don't like it." But I envy my brother because she never teases me...... Father-in-law, why did you let me marry her? ”

Zhao Xing said with a sly smile as he walked: "Your father can't write poetry, but he knows who writes poetry, the little lady of the Li family was born in Xiangmendi, and she is a smart person at first glance, marrying my Zhao family, and the poems she writes in the future belong to the ---- children of my Zhao family, you must know that talent is worth spending a lot of money to buy." ”

Zhao Feng, a villain, actually understood Zhao Xing's words, and he replied slowly: "I know that my father raised Uncle Qin because of his talent, and I also heard Lord Wan Qi say that Pan Dalin recently wrote a letter saying that he was also going to Guangzhou to find his father to ask for a living. I heard the brothers of the Cheng clan say that this Pan Dalin has no ability except for writing good poetry. The Pansheng liquor he originally brewed was famous, but he was in debt by himself, and there were many debt collectors who interrupted the line of thought of the poem, leaving only a sentence full of wind and rain near Chongyang.

But this Pan Sheng wine has become one of the famous wines in Huainan when it comes to his father, earning Pan Sheng tens of thousands of yuan of income every year, however, this hot scene, Pan Sheng doesn't care at all, and he doesn't know the trick of observing the booming business, he only knows the chasing poetry at the ends of the world.

Uncle Wan Qian said that this Pan Sheng is here, and I am afraid it is not easy to settle, because he is not even a tribute, and although Lingnan officialdom is a place to shoot, it does not accept people who are not on the right path of the imperial examination. I'm afraid that when he comes, his father-in-law will have a headache, because this Pan Sheng can't even settle accounts except for writing poetry. If you can't get it, your father-in-law will raise Pan Dalinbai like he raised Uncle Qin. Is this what people often call a clear guest? ”

Before Zhao Xing could answer, they had already walked to the door. At the door, Li Gefei was holding his daughter and looking at Zhao Feng with a smile, Li Qingzhao saw Zhao Feng come out and made a grimace, Zhao Feng was expressionless, looking ahead.

When Zhao Xing saw Li Qingzhao, his interest came, and he shouted at the little girl: "Qingzhao, I am almost ready for the chess and Go you want, and you can't go back on what you promised." ”

Li Qingzhao stuck out his tongue at Zhao Feng, Li Gefei hurriedly let go of Li Qingzhao's hand, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, let the two children go to the carriage by themselves, and you and I just happened to have a chat in the car." ”
