Chapter 45: A Thousand Miles of Sound (Part II)
Lu Dafang finally felt that he wanted to visit Han Gang.
During his few days in Didao City, he visited many places, and at the same time inspected the logistical work of military equipment, transport, and medical care. The more he learned about the city, the more he found that in this city, Han Gang's traces were too deep.
Not to mention the sanatorium, it was founded and promoted by Han Gang, and now in the Kansai Army, countless people are grateful to him. And the villagers and the people of Tibet regard this legendary medicine prince as a god.
The military station system in terms of transport was also formulated by Han Gang. Relying on this procedure, which seems to have wasted too much manpower on the road, the loss of grain and straw on the 300-mile road has been greatly reduced, and the complaints of the people have become very few, which makes people think deeply about the reason.
As a transshipment center, all the effective systems in Didao City are inseparable from Han Gang. Cai Yu took it over rashly, but did not have the ability to maintain its normal operation. The final result is naturally full of complaints, and everything is delayed.
The officials below all acted according to orders, and there was no prevarication and delay, which Lu Dafang saw very clearly. The chaos that formed in the middle was all caused by Cai Yu's erroneous orders.
Therefore, when Cai Yu was full of anger and shouted that he wanted to be punished with fifty or one hundred rods, he was immediately stopped by Lu Dafang. If the board really goes on, things can't be solved simply.
Lu Dafang thought about coming forward to help, but his identity was wrong, and he couldn't get around Cai Yu, who was already disliked. He wanted Han Gang to help again, anyway, Han Gang's closed-door thinking was a joke after Wang Shao's good news, and if there was no merit, what did he think about? With the assistance of his Lu Dafang, he should be able to easily overwhelm Cai Xi and not add to the chaos. But Han Gang just refused to come out, just to let Cai Xi's stupidity be revealed to the world.
At present, the situation in Didao City is becoming more and more chaotic, and if it cannot be dealt with in time, the front line in Hezhou will be out of food. If the current good situation is ruined because of this, Cai Yu and himself will be punished for a small matter in the future, so that the Son of Heaven will be more inclined to the new party, and the problem will be big.
didn't hesitate for long, Lu Dafang came to personally invite Han Gang to come forward, state affairs are important, and his personal face is just waiting for leisure.
Invited by Han Gang to sit down, Lu Dafang did not greet him or get closer, but immediately asked: "Yukun, do you know that there is a mess in Didao City now?" ”
Han Gang's smile was easy: "Han Gang is a body of sin, and this matter is more than enough to be able to do it." ”
"There is no time to make a living, Yukun, what are you guilty of?"
"Cai Yunju doesn't see it that way." Han Gang Ha laughed.
Lu Dafang's face turned cold in laughter. Although Han Gang's words pointed at Cai Xi, but the meaning of the words, Lu Dafang could understand it, Han Gang pointed out that what he said before was just a personal opinion, and even Cai Xi couldn't convince him, let alone do it.
Guilty or innocent, only the Son of Heaven is qualified to judge! - Han Gang didn't say this explicitly, but both of them knew it.
"Yukun, the grain transport team failed to set off today, so aren't you worried about Hezhou being in chaos because of this?" Lu Dafang changed his angle to persuade.
Han Gang sat firmly in Diaoyutai, "Now that the overall situation has been decided, the disease of ringworm is not bad for state affairs, and the imperial history does not have to worry too much." ”
He just wants to watch Cai Yu poke the basket, and he just wants to sit back and watch Lu Dafang have nothing to do. When it comes to relationships, although Lu Dafang is close to him, Han Gang will not abolish his public because of personal gain. There are the same group of people standing behind Lu Dafang and Cai Yu, if he doesn't pit these two together and cut off the thief hand who stretched out to Hehuang, how can he leave with peace of mind?
Lu Dafang and Han Gangyuan's unfathomable eyes looked at each other, and they didn't find a trace of anger in them. He finally understood that Han Gang's refusal to make a move was not because of a momentary anger, but because he had a very clear political intention.
Even so, Lu Dafang confirmed that it was impossible to convince Han Gang today. The fire in his heart rose, but in the blink of an eye, he pressed himself. Han Gang's attitude is normal, he can't just allow himself to press others and fight, but he doesn't allow others to fight back.
Lu Dafang looked at the young man in front of him who had become famous in the Kansai officialdom, and under the gentle smile, there was an unshakable heart. Lu Dafang has read a lot of people in his life, and he knows that such a character can only be persuaded by reason, and it is useless to move him with affection, "Yukun, Hehuang Kaibian has done his best." But do you know how much food has been consumed in the past few years, and how much will it be transported every year in order to maintain the safety of this road in the future? ”
Han Gang smiled, he knew this matter better than anyone else. Lu Dafang wanted to use this to convince him, it was the class man with an axe.
"If we can guarantee 2,000 households a year, in another five years, Xihe Road will be able to become self-sufficient in a year without a big war. Even if the number of migrants drops to 3,500 in the past few years, they will still be self-sufficient within 10 years, without the need for external support. Han Gang said to Lu Dafang, "Jia Yan is in charge of the affairs of the Tuntian Division. Jiayan has worked hard in the past two years, and Gongzhou's field endowment alone this year can already support the food of 30,000 troops for three months. And the beginning of Gongzhou Tuntian has only been two years now! ”
"How can the people be so easy to subdue? Although the land in Tuntian is wasteland, it is actually the Han people who invade the land of the Tibetan people. The Tibetan people are not happy about this, and the war will inevitably continue in the future. Officers and soldiers are fighting fires everywhere, and in twenty or thirty years, how can there be no year of war? ”
"If you want to make the people of Tibet obedient, you should set up a study in the states and turn it into a Han. Indoctrination is the most important thing. Let the sons of the leaders of the Tibetan tribe go to study in Fan, they are protons, but after teaching the righteousness of loyalty and filial piety, they will command the power of the clan in the future, and they will naturally attach themselves to our emperor Song. "As for the immediate turmoil, it is inevitable. However, even if the Tibetan people continue to rebel, as long as they set up armor in the village and garrison the important places with elite soldiers, Hehuang should be safe. ”
"Armor protection law...... Lu Dafang groaned slightly, and decided to go straight to the point, "Yukun, what do you think of the new law!?" ”
Han Gang glanced at Lu Dafang's serious face in surprise, and decided to maintain his usual point of view, he said so in front of Cheng Hao and Zhang Jian, and also said so in front of Lu Dazhong, there is no need to hide in front of Lu Dafang: "The new law is mostly a good law, but there are deviations in its implementation." For example, in the recent Fangtian Average Tax Law, although the squires do not like it, there are many happy people among the poor. Three generations of wells set the land of the world, and in the law of Fangtian, it is the intention of Jingtian. ”
Lu Dafang frowned slightly, he really deserved to be Zhang Zai's disciple, and when it came to the field system, it was Jingtian. Ercheng in Luoyang is also talking about Jing Tian. Even Wang Anshi didn't say anything about Jing Tian, but it was not realistic at all, but this young man made him a little puzzled, and his opinion on Jing Tian was not necessarily true.
"I don't know Yukun, have you heard of the City Easy Law?" Lu Dafang asked again.
"The City Method?" Han Gang vaguely heard a little about the decree that was about to be implemented in the letter from Zhangdun, but the specific content was not enshrined.
Shaking his head, he listened to Lu Dafang's explanation.
"Who brought it up? This...... This ...... "Is this crazy?!" Han Gang swallowed the second half of the sentence, but he really felt that the person who proposed this bill was really crazy about money.
Stripped of the veil of preferential care for small traders, this decree is basically a declaration of war to rob the wealthy merchants of the capital from the last piece of bread. Qingmiao loans, both losing the law, have been deprived of the source of profit in the hands of the wealthy businessmen in the capital bit by bit, Han Gang is not opposed to taking money from them, but you can't do things too much, leave a line in everything, and see each other in the future.
Behind the wealthy merchants is a family of clans, and many of the dragon sons and grandsons are now relying on the financial support of the married wealthy merchants to barely survive. The wealthy merchants have no money, and the clans are hungry. If the Shiyi Law is seriously implemented, the climax of Xining's two-year anti-new law will most likely be repeated this year - don't expect them not to fight back.
Han Gang's shock, Lu Dafang saw it in his eyes, and he knew that it was not a fake.
But Han Gang was not surprised for long, calmed down, and said, "Harmony with each other, that's the party." If you oppose everything, that's also the party. In the new law, there are trade-offs below. Among the new laws, Qingmiao and Junyi are good laws, and the protection of armor and generals is effective in Kansai. Farmland water conservancy, as long as the actors can put away the mind of great joy and steadily implement it without disturbing the people, it is also a good law. But Baoma and Shiyi, in Han Gang's view, are up for debate. ”
"So why didn't Yukun write about it?"
"Not in his position, not in his politics, Han Gang is just a border minister now, how can he be qualified to say these things." Han Gang's eyes became deeper, "Han Gang's two brothers died in state affairs, and the hatred of the country and the family is there, and they swear not to share the sky with the western thief!" As for the rest, it is not Han Gang who is qualified to say it. ”
Han Gang clearly expressed his attitude to Lu Dafang. After hearing this, his original position of full support for the New Party had been shaken, or at least he felt that he had gone too far. But he told Lu Dafang more clearly that if he couldn't support the opening of Hehuang and the capture of Western Xia, then he Han Gang would never stand on the side of the old party.
In fact, this is also the point of view that Wang Shao upholds, whoever supports his meritorious service, he will stand on whose side.
Lu Dafang was a little disappointed, he could see that Han Gang was telling the truth. And he could see that the young man's mind in front of him would not be changed easily.
The success of Hehuang Kaibian made the new party that had always supported him more praised by the Son of Heaven, and it would inevitably make Wang Anshi's position more stable.
"World War I will lead to a misunderstanding of the country......" Lu Dafang sighed secretly, giving up the idea of convincing Han Gang.
Just three days later, on the 10th day of the fifth month, Lubu Feijie's messenger rushed into the city of Tokyo, and set off an even greater storm in the already turbulent situation.
