A letter with only two pages in his hand, but Han Gang read it over and over for a long time.

This is a private letter from the king's side, along with the letters of his wife and concubine. Although the letter is not long, it says a lot. For example, Cai Ting suddenly suffered a wind illness in the palace, such as Lu Gong's return to Beijing, such as the Son of Heaven who fell ill with a summer illness because of Sima Guang's cultivation of the Tongjian, and the special envoy gave medicine to Luoyang. But the most important thing is the death of Wang Anguo.

Cai Ting fell ill in the palace, and his political life was basically over. If he doesn't take the initiative to resign, the bullets of the imperial historians can flood his doorstep. The Privy Council has just had one more Privy Councillor, and now there will be one less. The number of people remains the same, but the inherent pattern of Xifuzhong has changed greatly in the past few years. And Wu Chong and Wang Shao have been in the Privy Council for a long time, and it is likely that there will be a change in a short period of time - at least Wang Shao is very likely to go out.

And Lu Gongshu, he is a hardcore old party, and he recommended Wang Anshi in the old year, but then he went out because he opposed the new law. Including him, a number of important officials of the old party were driven out of the capital one after another in the past few years, thus establishing the authority of the new law. But now that Lu Gong has returned to Beijing, people have to wonder whether the Son of Heaven intends to reactivate the old party.

This point has been confirmed in the Son of Heaven's care for Sima Guang - it is impossible to deliberately give medicine just because he heard that Sima Guang was suffering from heat stroke in Duyuan, and with Sima Guang's old party red flag, the political meaning of this is too heavy. At least in the past, the Son of Heaven would not have done so directly.

These three things have little to do with Han Gang, but then they followed the news of Wang Anguo's death.

Han Gang and Wang Anguo don't have much contact, and Wang Anshi's three brothers, he is the one who opposes the change the most. But the love between the brothers of the Wang family is very deep, when Wang Yi died early, the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation are supported by Wang Anshi's own money, as the eldest brother, Wang Anshi has done a lot for his brothers, and the brothers respect him, it is needless to say. Wang Yan died of illness last year, and Wang Anguo died of illness this year, what kind of mood his father-in-law would have, Han Gang can more or less understand.

It stands to reason that since Wang Anguo died of illness, the king should not involve other miscellaneous matters in the letter of mourning. But after looking at it twice, he can almost understand the intentions of his brother-in-law.

"It seems that the benefits are not small." Han Gang said to himself in the small hall, after Wang Bian came out to be an official, he has grown in all aspects in the past two years, and it can be seen from this letter.

Although Wang Bei did not even mention a word in the letter, Han Gang could see that Wang Anshi's mood had changed, and the Son of Heaven also had the heart to change the personnel of the two governments, and he was worried about internal and external difficulties, and his father-in-law was probably in the position of prime minister for a short time.

'Are you going to cross the river and tear down the bridge?' ’

Although Han Gang was thinking so, he didn't have the slightest anger in his heart, he just felt a little sad for his father-in-law, sad for the rabbit and the fox, sad for things, and so on.

Zhao Ji is doing his duty as a son of heaven by doing this.

From a political point of view, the new law has been advancing rapidly in a few years, and it will definitely need to be eased a little at this time. And Wang Anshi has controlled the government for too long. A weak and obedient deacon, it is no problem to be a deacon for more than ten years, and the Son of Heaven does not need to worry about this, but a strong prime minister, three or five years is already too long.

Moreover, over the years, the official army has won a lot of victories, even if the disasters change every year, but the expenses of the imperial court can still maintain a balance, Zhao Ji's long-cherished wish to enrich the country and strengthen the army has become a reality, and the remaining goal is to strengthen the army and horses, and the sword is pointed to the west and north. In the current situation, as long as the laws and ordinances that have been formed continue to be maintained, it will only take time to achieve the ultimate goal.

From this point of view, Wang Anshi is no longer essential. If Wang Anshi can take the initiative to resign, most of them will be able to leave a good story of getting along with the monarch and the minister, starting and ending well.

Han Gang shook his head, Wang Anshi can't stay in the phase for a lifetime, he will have to leave sooner or later, and leaving while the current situation is booming can be regarded as a good result. In the future, if there is turmoil in the court, he will come back to suppress the court, which is the role of the old ministers.

All this should be a result in half a year, and I just need to wait and see.

Folding the letter and putting it away, Han Gang picked up a famous post on the table and looked at it, and called the soldiers outside the door to come in, "Go to the gatehouse and lead Wufu and Yu Ting to the side hall." ”

Wu Fu and Yu Ting are the leaders of the Tan people in Qinzhou, and yesterday Han Gang sent someone to send a message to come over today, and he didn't dare to push back at all, so he rushed to the door on time to listen to the orders.

When Han Gang arrived at the side hall, the two leaders of the Tan people were standing cramped and restless, and when they saw that Han Gang finally appeared, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Han Gang sat down and looked at the two of them, they were dressed very brightly, they were dressed in robes made of silk cloth, and the hats on their heads covered the vertebrae that were different from those of the Han people, and they couldn't see anything special, except that their complexions were a little darker, they were two ordinary rich men, and even their stomachs were generally filled with oil and water.

When the two of them stood up tremblingly, Han Gang smiled gently, "The former Japanese official returned from Jiaozhou across the sea, and happened to see someone diving pearls at sea, so he asked you to ask." ”

The two glanced at each other, as if relieved, Wu Fu took out a gift slip from his sleeve, bent down respectfully, and handed it over with both hands: "Xianggong, this is a little filial piety of the villain, very meager and not respectful." ”

"This official doesn't want your pearls, they are all human lives, and this official doesn't have the heart to take them." Han Gang shook his head, and asked him to take back the list without looking at it, "It takes hundreds of thousands of oysters to have one or two good beads, and you have to guard against fish tigers [sharks], this livelihood can be regarded as hard." ”

The two thought that Han Gang was pretending to be a gesture, so they persuaded them a few more words, and waited until Han Gang shouted angrily and peeked at his expression, only to confirm that the young transfer minister really didn't want to accept the gift, so he took back the gift list, "...... Xianggong said yes, it is indeed hard. ”

Han Gang sighed sadly, "Every year in summer and autumn, there are many typhoons. Yesterday I looked through the book books, and in the last 10 years, dozens of people have died in the wind every year. I fear that you will be more wounded at sea. ”

"Xianggong is really kind. I waited at sea, and in what year did I not die? Every household died in the typhoon. ”

"If that's the case, then why don't you go ashore and buy land to change your livelihood?"

"That's what I think, but I can't do it! The public knows that we are working hard, but where will the people of Qinzhou care? As soon as we said that we wanted to buy land, the price could go up to the sky. Yu Ting cried bitterly, "The villain has worked hard for several generations to save some money, and finally bought two pieces of land and a room." The rest of the people are not as good as the villains, and they will be scattered with a little money to buy some clothes, where can they buy them? ”

"Fangjin Jiaozhou is newly restored, and there is a lack of population, if you can move to Jiaozhou, it is convenient to buy land." Han Gang took a sip of tea and casually mentioned it.

"Xianggong, the villains are used to the water and soil of Qinzhou, and suddenly went to Jiaozhou, and the water and soil are not adapted."

"Jiaozhou doesn't want to, if you talk about the distance, it's just a waterway to the south for a day when the wind is down!"

The two looked at each other, and finally realized that Han Gang was serious about planning this. Wu Fu plopped down and knelt down, "Xianggong wants the villain to be a cow or a horse, but he doesn't dare to go to Jiaozhou." The wind and waves in Jiaozhou can be heavier than in Qinzhou! ”

"Didn't you say that you should buy land and build houses? Certainly not living on the water. ”

"This ...... But there's no money. ”

"Then don't worry about it. After arriving in Jiaozhou, the purchase of land is calculated separately, and the government will allocate you a piece of Yongye land, which does not require you to have a penny, enough for food and clothing. In the future, if you have a field, you will no longer have to be afraid of wind and waves, and you will no longer have to suffer from pearl diving. There are thousands of households along the coast of Qinzhou, and it is estimated that few of them have an industry. As long as you move, you will have an industry and you will be able to give your children and grandchildren a stable life in the future. ”

Han Gang's sentence made them unable to shirk it, Wu Fu and Yu Ting were stunned for a long time, gritted their teeth and kowtowed again and again, "Xiang Gong Mingjian, villains have been begging for a living on the water for generations, no matter how hard and tired they are, it is a job that has been passed down from generation to generation, and they are always familiar." Suddenly asked the villain to farm, but he didn't even know how to take the hoe, and he would only starve his house to death. ”

"The Xidong barbarians on the left and right rivers of Yongzhou will not farm, but aren't they still reclaiming wasteland in Jiaozhou? You can always learn to come, and the government will also send someone to guide you on how to farm. And in the first two years, you will not be taxed, and if there is a disaster, the government will provide relief, so you don't have to worry about anything. The official also knows that it must have been hard at first, but it will be better in a few years, and in the future, children and grandchildren will no longer have to suffer from pearl diving and fishing, nor will they have to be afraid of typhoons, which is not a beautiful thing. ”

Han Gang took the trouble to explain to the two leaders of the Tan people, but although the two of them kowtowed and their foreheads were red, they just refused to agree.

Looking down at the two kowtow insects in front of his feet, Han Gang's gaze was like cold water.

Regarding the matter of co-opting the Tan people, Han Gang can actually directly issue an official document to convey his orders, and the rest of the specific work will be completed by the local prefecture and county.

He has already done the transfer of envoys, and for this matter, he personally solicited the opinions of the parties, in fact, it is a loss of identity, and at the same time, it does not conform to the rules of officialdom.

This is tantamount to not believing in the ability of Qinzhou Zhizhou, and at the same time, if something goes wrong, there is no way to push the guilt on the people below, so you can only bear it yourself, which can be regarded as asking for hardship. Neither a smart person should nor would do that.

However, Han Gang just wanted to see what kind of person was leading the people of the land, and tried his best to take this first step. As long as this beginning is played well, in the future, Fujian, Liangguang, and even southern Zhejiang, tens of thousands of miles of coastline, estuaries and estuaries of rivers, a total of 100,000 Tan people, can be organized in a step-by-step manner, and then find a suitable place to settle them.
