Chapter 324: The Little Witch (I)

"Official, although Xia Zhu has helped you, Yang Kai also has a relationship with you," Cui Xian persuaded.

When Zheng Lang was imprisoned, Xia Zhu made a lot of efforts. But when Fan Zhongyan was demoted for the first time, Zheng Lang saw him off at the Changting drum and piano and met Yang Kai, who also praised Zheng Lang.

"Xia Zhu is not a good person," Zheng Lang said. Yang Kai is a gentleman full of anger, and Xia Zhu is also not a gentleman. But where to find a humble gentleman, even the drum will come to a yin hand, not to mention others. The court fights for the court, and there will inevitably be a fight when entering the court. Back then, when I was young, everyone supported me, and when I grew up, it was impossible to be like in the past. You can't just fight and ignore the country. That's not a fight, it's a bastard.

Although I know Yang Kai, Yang Kai's approach this time is very manic!

Since her husband made up his mind to fight, Cui Xian did not stop him.

Anyway, it's boring to be idle, so find something to do. has not yet entered the court, and it is regarded as a drill.

Moreover, the husband can also be regarded as a gentleman, and the "internal half-dispute", the gentlemen's party will not unite to oppose it.

"Official, I'm going too," Jiang Xing'er suddenly replied shyly.

"No," Cui Xian immediately shouted.

Zheng Lang was also very opposed, saying: "It's cold. ”

Overall, the early 11th century was warmer than later in the 11th century, with frequent warm winters. This was the main cause of the locust plague in the north in previous years. But last year and this year, the weather was very cold, and the cold winter for two consecutive years has been recorded in the history books. The good thing is that although there is a drought in Xichuan, there is no locust plague. It's not good for travel, and Apricot is pregnant again.

Xing'er looked at Zheng Lang pitifully and said softly: "Official, New Year's Day is coming." ”

Although the weather is cold, the New Year will soon come and the weather will warm up.

Then shaking Zheng Lang's elbow, Zheng Lang glanced at her stomach, still disagreeing.

"Officials ......"

In the end, Zheng Lang was defeated by her complaining eyes and said, "Go and go." ”

Cui Xian shook her head. For this crazy apricot, her husband is actually very fond of her, is it possible that she wants to eat a crazy woman's vinegar?

Even if you go, you won't leave so quickly.

The first is gold and silver.

It happened to be brought back from the gold and silver mined in the Japanese slave country. The ore is shallow and easy to mine, and it is a rich ore, so the output will follow in the second half of the year. This time he brought back more than 1,200,000 taels of silver, more than 29,000 taels of gold, and some copper and iron. Production is still increasing, but it will increase very slowly in the future. This is also a merit.

What is the most lacking thing in the imperial court now, money!

Gold and silver are not money, but it is quasi-money, and there is a large gap between gold and silver, and the two have been slowly appreciating. Even if there were gold and silver mines in the Japanese slave country, the price of gold and silver would not fall for more than ten years. This is almost an income of 2.8 million yuan, and if it is exchanged for the quasi-guan number of the imperial court, the money has always been only 750 yuan, so there will be an income of more than 3 million yuan. Although the cost and dividends of the deed shares are discarded, the imperial court can only get half of it, which is also a lot of wealth.

Not only that, but they also brought back a large amount of timber from the Japanese slave country, and dragged it back in two batches by boat along the monsoon. This batch of timber and other goods can have hundreds of thousands of yuan. However, it has not yet arrived, but the former can be distributed and brought back to the imperial court to solve the urgent need.

However, the most eye-catching political achievements at the end of the year were not Zheng Lang, not Fan Zhongyan, who had made achievements in Jiangdong, but Han Qi. Zhao Zhen's son died within a few days of birth, but this Jinfeng still exists.

In fact, it is to collect money.

Zhao Zhen definitely didn't want to, but when the war began, he would ask for money as soon as he fought, so Zhao Zhen had to do it.

Because of Han Qi's progression, the imperial court exempted this part of the accumulation. Then lightly reduce the various kinds of servitude, close the market offerings not with its straight, chase the greedy officials, remove redundant servitude, and the original Jianzhou Nasu, pay more than 600,000 yuan, all to the fourth class and below the household.

made a bold move, which was more crisp than Zheng Lang did in Hangzhou.

His practice also represents the mentality of many scholars, who are unable to let go of their own interests, and also know that reducing the gap between the rich and the poor is beneficial to the country, especially to improve the embarrassment of households below the fourth class. Han Qi is definitely not so kind, but his practices are definitely better than Sima Guang and Su Dongpo in history.

Because of his various measures, more than 1.9 million people are hungry. I don't know how this number was counted, but that's what the imperial court newspaper said. There is no comparable surname between the two, Zheng Lang is a trickle of water, and there will be income every year in the future, and with the mining of several other mines, the income will be greater and greater.

Xichuan disaster, the situation is critical, although it is not a troubled era, but it can also be used to re-code, which Hangzhou can not compare.

But at least this winter, Han Qi's starlight is the brightest.

Zheng Lang also has no intention of fighting for this merit, the master of high merit will not appear in Zhao Zhichao, Song Yingzong is a little worse, and he will not appear either, Song Shenzong needless to say, I am not afraid that you have the ability, I am afraid that you have no ability. This was the best era for civil servants. But if the merit is high, the emperor is not afraid, but the other ministers will be uncomfortable. Zheng Lang himself didn't care, so Zheng Lang didn't want to fight for credit.

But the money must be brought back.

This will be another two days delayed.

There are also some affairs in Hangzhou, now is the best time in Hangzhou, because the Buddha will win a big victory, Zheng Lang will not really exile these monks to overseas to open mines. But he won and used some means to overthrow most of the people's belief in the monastery, not the belief in Buddhism, so Zheng Lang took a big stride, first forcibly opening the field.

It is a forcible opening of fields, not a change of fields.

All the fields that affected the water conservancy were forcibly demolished, and no compensation was made with any fields. Then all the usury of the monasteries was abolished. You are monks, what kind of usury you put on. The number is not small, reaching more than 300,000. He also returned to the people all the fields obtained by illegal means, and the amount was equally huge, and 400 hectares of cultivated land, as well as some mountains, forests, lakes, and rivers were found to be inventoried. There are also some other cases that Zheng Lang has dealt with for a month.

However, the legal farmland for the monasteries has not been moved, and the industrial workshops and shops have not been moved. After a few years of being an official, Zheng Lang has a very good grasp of the heat. Although there were many monks who were dissatisfied in their hearts, they accepted it when they saw Zheng Lang when they saw it, and they did not make a sound.

But it's not over.

With the end of the Buddhist discernment meeting, starting with Han Qi, Xiao Song, Fu Bi, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Zhang Fangping and others who returned to Beijing wrote one after another, opposing the current status quo of the temple, not only against the temple, but also against some Taoist temples.

Han Qi put forward a total of 12 articles, Zhao Zhen did not accept all of them, he could accept several of them, limit the number of monks and monks in each temple, the monks can accept incense alms, but they can't be landlords, and they have to hand over the landlords to the court for rent, so they levy land endowments and control the system, and the monks are not allowed to make friends with the powerful at will, and they are not allowed to enter and leave the cardamom to not confuse the women (12 to 40 years old), they are not allowed to encroach on the cultivated land and mountains, and they are not allowed to do evil.

To be precise, it is not the elimination of the Buddha and the destruction of the Buddha, but a rational control of the Buddha.

Lack of money!

Moreover, Zhao Zhen was influenced by Liu E, and was very disgusted with his father's invitation to the gods, which was similar to Zheng Lang's mentality, and he was not disgusted with ghosts and gods, but he was disgusted with living people collecting money and cheating money in the name of ghosts and gods.

It doesn't seem to be thorough, but Zheng Lang likes it, this is the degree. In short, the people still need some faith, and they also need religion to exist. But this religion should be kept within a reasonable range, and although the measures are not severe, they will reduce strife.

That's it, a bit of a blow to Buddhism.

The first to bear the brunt was Zheng Lang. Several mothers wrote several letters reprimanding their son's actions. Zheng Lang is resigned, and he has dealt with it anyway, what can a few mothers do?

The affairs of the monastery were settled, the private salt was controlled, and the winter output increased by 20%, but this income did not belong to the Hangzhou government. When all the big families saw the gold and silver, they also tacitly cooperated. And these people are very bright-eyed, the state wants money, the sugar workshop is about to open, the place where sugarcane is produced in the country is not in Taipingzhou, but in Jinhua, Jingdezhen south of the line, or Yizhou, to the north of the area is mainly concentrated in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Once the sugar workshop is opened, Suzhou will not be opened due to the restrictions of Taiping Prefecture, but Hangzhou will not be restrained and will definitely be opened. It is also the income that allows the big households to keep their saliva. There are also benefits of tea and paper. At this juncture, there is nothing that is not cooperative.

Officialdom has been integrated once because of private salt, and now Hangzhou's officialdom is generally clearer. There are also a few fathers who are Li Gang's yain, who are desperately trying to mix political achievements, and they have to show their skills to mix political achievements, and Zheng Lang is not like other prefects, not only guiding from the side, but even doing badly, and coming to make up for the omissions, so several county commanders dare to act boldly in office. The most outstanding is Sima Guang, like a star gradually blooming brightly.

But the more outstanding Sima Guang is, Zheng Lang is mixed with joy and sorrow, and he is still very worried in his heart, so he came up with a stupid way to let Wang Anshi often go to Sima Guang's place to assist Sima Guang. This is fake, allowing the two to exchange feelings, save as in history, and become a sworn enemy.

Water conservancy has also been implemented.

Overseas is not only the benefit of mining, a large number of goods are exported, which are purchased by the Taiping Prison, but also stimulate the income of Hangzhou and nearby states.

In fact, since the beginning of winter, Hangzhou Dazhi has arrived.

is slightly worse, that is, Li Yan's ability to pass judgments.

A very mediocre official, his ability is not as good as Zhao Tongju. It's not as good as that, and I have very little experience in the local area. The only advantage is that people are honest, Zheng Lang will not leave, he is not disgusted by such a general judgment, it is a big deal that he can work hard.

But as soon as you leave, you have to explain it clearly.

So I thought about it for a while and wrote a letter first. Yuan Hao is going to invade the Song Dynasty, Huanqing Yan is everywhere, Huanqing has Xia Zhu, military ability is limited, don't expect Wenchen to have any military talent, later Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi did a little better, and it can't be called outstanding, but the invasion in winter made Yuan Hao realize that the Song army was not so easy to mess with. Xia Zhu has entered a few admonitions, and it is not a trivial matter, and Yuan Hao can also know that compared to Xia Zhu's slight foresight, Fan Yong is nothing in Yanyun. It is destined that Yuan Hao will also attack the Song Dynasty from this way.

Zheng Lang is also not good at military affairs, but he can draw this analysis by linking what happened later. With this analysis, we can go on, otherwise it will be too weird.

If you want to attack Yanzhou, there are three roads, one is the security army, one is Tumen Jinming Village, and one is Qingjian City. There are Fuzhou Zhijia troops on the east road, as well as the obstacle of Qingjian City, which is not easy to attack. The security army is the Song army, and he doesn't dare to fight Yuan Hao. Then there is only Tumen Jinming Village.

This way is the party Xiang Yong general Li Shibin and hundreds of thousands of party members, you can't doubt his loyalty because of the party people, the Yang family will be sinicized, but Yang Jiye's father and son are definitely party members, and the folded family will be party members. Li Jizhou, Li Shibin, father and son, were also undoubtedly loyal to the Song Dynasty.

Guan Jian is that his subordinates are loyal and disloyal to the Song Dynasty, and there is a confused Fan Yong.

If he is Yuan Hao, after the strong attack is not possible, he will inevitably deceive peace, and then plant a large number of annihilators on Li Shibin's territory in the name of surrender and defection, and carry out counter-attacks. In this way, you can let the party people cheat and come to surrender, and don't accept the bad ones, but they can't be placed on the front line, and they can't be planted in the back, even if they are placed in Jingzhao Mansion, it doesn't matter. It's too dangerous to put on the front line.

There's only so much that can be said. Besides, he became a demon.

That's it, Zheng Lang has done his best, otherwise the court would have red eyes and let himself go to the northwest, just ask, do you understand the military? Historical knowledge, it's useless to know, once you go, Yuan Hao will still attack like in history? As soon as history is tampered with, I am still at a loss in the northwest.

Stay in Hangzhou and make money for the country.

After writing this recital, Zheng Lang hesitated for a long time, and then sent it to the capital with a fast horse.

Then a deed meeting was held to distribute dividends. There are still not many real shares in the hands of the deed shares, but they have doubled and exceeded in the first half of last year, and there are still five copper mines by next year, that is, the income will increase several times by next year.

After dividing up, they left happily one by one.

Then he gave Li Yan a repeated explanation, and then boarded the boat and rushed all the way north to the capital.

…… Although it is the first month, after crossing the Huai River to the north, you can still see some snow on both banks, and there is also some thin melting ice on the river surface. As the ship passed by, the sound of the side of the ship hitting the broken ice could be heard from time to time.

Cui Xian suddenly groaned, and then bit her mouth with the quilt.

Zheng Lang grabbed her soft breasts and said, "Is it comfortable?" ”

Cui Xian's face turned red and did not answer.

There were other people on the boat, in addition to Zheng Lang's family, Shi Congguang and his wife, and Yan Rong. Fan Chunren asked him to go home for a reunion, and Fan Zhongyan also saw the growth of his two sons and was very grateful. The most interesting thing is that Fan Zhongyan is Mrs. Ru, who wants to stuff Fan Chunli, the third elder of the Fan family, to Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang didn't agree, I'm not a nursery here. At the beginning, he promised Fan Zhongyan because he knew that his virtuous Mrs. Li would leave the world soon, and it was a pity in his heart that he accepted his two sons in a row.

Then he talked to Fan Chunyou for a few more words. After getting along for a few months, Fan Dalang gradually became less repulsive to this stepmother, who was only three or four years older than him. Manners and etiquette, this Mrs. Ru, who was born in the son, is not as good as Fan Zhongyan's ex-wife, but her surname is gentle and kind.

This is also what Zheng Lang expected, if there was no surname, there would be no noble virtue of Fan Menshiro in history, and the youngest son was Fan Chun, who was held in Mrs. Ru's arms and fed, and was born by Mrs. Ru.

However, seeing this pair of old and young, Zheng Lang was also a little funny in his heart, everyone has a love for beauty, and this first doctor in ancient and modern times is also not excluded. Fan Zhongyan is more than 20 years older than his wife, so he can be regarded as happy.

Then Wang Anshi was sent to Jiangning.

Wang Yi is also old, but at this time history has changed, originally Wang Yi died of illness in February last year, maybe he saw Wang Anshi following Zheng Lang and had a career, and he had to wait for his son's results in the imperial examination. I actually survived. However, his health has been bad, which makes Zheng Lang very worried.

Once he dies of illness, Wang An will have to keep filial piety for at least one year, and he will not be able to catch up in the autumn of next year.

It's hard to say it in my heart, but let Wang Anshi go home first and reunite the family. In his heart, Zheng Lang was thinking, look at it, look at it one year and one year less. Therefore, only Yan Rong remained, and the surname Suo brought back to the capital to reunite him with his parents.

In addition, there are some soldiers who have pledged a lot of gold and silver to return to Beijing, and the heroes of Shuibo Liangshan have not yet come out, but this money is also eye-catching. Several ships were guarded, and Zheng Lang also had them on board.

Cui Xian was comfortable just now, and shouted, it was relatively loud, and the soldiers in front and behind didn't hear it, but about Shi Congguang and Yan Rong heard it. Yan Rong may not know that Shi Congguang and his wife must know what your husband and wife are doing early in the morning.

Zheng Lang laughed again, brought a towel, asked her to wipe her body, and whispered: "This is the joy of humanity, what are you afraid of?" ”

"It's all your fault," Cui Xian flicked her finger on Brother Zheng Lang, and then wiped it with a towel "roughly" while sneering.

Then he hurriedly got up and said loudly: "Official, I twisted my foot." ”

Covered.

Zheng Lang was happy again, and cooperated: "Why are you careless." ”

This wife is very good in other aspects, smart and capable, she is a powerful helper of herself, beautiful and polite, and has almost become the leader of the women in Hangzhou, but she is a little cautious, and when she saw that Xing'er was pregnant, she began to "extort excessively".

As you get dressed, get up, wash and freshen up, and then stand on the bow of the boat, you can see the tall walls of Tokyo Castle not far away.

After several years, Zheng Lang returned to the capital again.
