To the Prime Minister, Zheng Lang also thinks about it.
A series of problems arose in the country one after another, if you want to defeat the Western Xia, the treasury must store 50 million guan reserves, and if you want to destroy the Western Xia, the national treasury must have 100 million guan reserves to support the huge war. However, a transition in Xifu is also necessary, and it happens that some of the shortcomings in the general will be improved
Now is not the time to make a move against the Western Xia, but there are some opportunities that can be taken advantage of, especially the contradictions between the Khitan and the Western Xia.
The main target is the South.
Whether it is Meishanman or Kuizhouman, Zheng Lang wants to rectify it. Where is it, because of the Gou'an policy of the Song Dynasty, the Han people live too humblely, saying that anyone who offends my Han will be punished even if they are far away, and I am afraid it is not easy to shout it out in the Song Dynasty. Unless......
The Han people also regard that area as a daunting road, without the Han people entering, the atmosphere of civilization can not enter, at this time Kuizhou Road, the degree of backwardness is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty is comparable. That's the weird thing. The entire Southwest Imperial Court was unable to control it, and what to talk about to extinguish the Western Xia. Soldiers and soldiers must also go through some medium-sized battles within the limits of the country's economy, and ensure the combat effectiveness of the army through actual combat.
This is Zheng Lang's detailed plan for the future.
However, it is difficult to find it in the two governments today, how can some irrelevant rulers get out of the two governments one by one, prevent them from getting in the way, and allocate useful people to the throne?
Looking at another student, Shi Heng stared at this senior brother curiously, Lu Gongshu sometimes glanced at him, this junior brother is so eccentric, the teacher does not teach him the scriptures, but teaches him Gewuxue, how can a person not learn the scriptures and Yiyi, and specialize in Gewuxue.
Zheng Lang asked, "Shi Heng, stay after eating." β
"Whoa." Shi Heng is not like before at this time, he has ten thousand admiration for Zheng Lang, that is a hero, he went deep into the Khitan alone, and escaped back, how many people in the world have done it?
"Uncle Hao, you can also stay and listen."
"Whoa."
didn't talk much about government affairs, Zheng Lang didn't take the gentleman's food and silence as a thing, he didn't have to talk much when he ate, after eating, Zheng Lang called Shi Heng and Lu Gongzhu to the study and asked Shi Heng a lot of questions about physics. Before leaving, Zheng Lang hastily wrote a lot of knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry, and some of them had reached the knowledge level of the first and second years of university. Further on, it was the knowledge he taught in the Khitan, but for Zheng Lang, it was also at the top, after all, he was not a scientific sect
In the future generations, this knowledge is nothing, and college students are in a hurry, so they still use linen. But in this day and age, this knowledge is too magical.
Awarded to Shi Heng, Zheng Lang did not come to any yin or yang, and directly taught him knowledge. Sit down today to see how much he has accepted. It's not ideal, and although he's a rare miscellaneous talent, it's not too bad.
Zheng Lang said: "You study hard, don't know if I'm free, ask me for advice." In a few months, I want you to intern and find ways to apply this knowledge in practice. β
God knows how to use it, and with the current industrial base, I am afraid that it will be difficult to build a simple steam engine. This Zheng Lang doesn't care, first let Shi Heng have an invincible internal strength, as for the moves, Zheng Lang will not either, anyway, it is not for him to deal with Dongfang undefeated, and it is a few small enemies that can defeat a few small enemies, but starting with weapons. Zheng Lang deliberately taught some theories of guns and guns, and whether they can be made or not is still known by God.
Lu Gongshu sat on the side as if listening to a book from heaven.
Zheng Lang said: "Uncle Xuan, don't underestimate it, if all this knowledge of Gewu can be used, it doesn't take much, fifty years later, a miracle will happen in our dynasty." β
After sending Lu Gongzhu away, Zheng Lang came to Zhang Fangping's house again.
The three divisions control the financial power, and they need money to do things, which should not be underestimated, but Zheng Lang did not come to ask for money. Sit down and ask, "How many copper coins were minted by the three divisions last year?" ββ¦,
"More than 9,360,000 yuan." Zhang Fangping replied.
"Why so little?" Zheng Lang frowned and asked dissatisfiedly. There are already a lot, before the peace prison came out, the imperial court only minted more than 4 million yuan a year. It's doubled. Zheng Lang pointed out that there were several large mineral deposits, some of which were successfully found not long ago, and some of them were found after a year or two. The gains are huge.
The tighter the imperial court's finances, the more cautious it became about overseas safety supervision, and it repeatedly sent troops and ships to expand its scale. It is impossible to mine millions of tons of copper a year, but the output is very amazing, plus the domestic copper mines, far more than just 9 million copper coins. A copper coin only needs about three grams of refined copper, and one ton can mint more than 300 coins. No matter how bad the safety prison is, it is impossible to mine 20,000 tons of copper a year.
Zhang Fangping smiled bitterly and said, "Xingzhi, I'll calculate the work for you." β
It was more complicated than Zheng Lang thought, and it required many procedures to mint copper coins, and also to add metals such as lead and tin, but the Song Dynasty needed more copper utensils, Buddha statues, and so on. It is often more profitable to sell refined copper directly than to mint copper coins. Sometimes, in order to regulate and make profits, the imperial court directly sold the refined copper without making money.
Zhang Fangping is also helpless, to be the three envoys, can not only take care of the currency, although the currency is good, but also lacking, plus a large number of copper coins in circulation, but the market in Hedong after the ban on iron money, Shaanxi iron money is not banned, a lot of time physical objects and cloth are still used as quasi-currency. But as a third envoy, he must run for the state and make the treasury surplus. However, although there is a surplus in the national treasury, it seems that when the drought arrives this year, these surpluses will soon be empty again.
After speaking, he said: "Xingzhi, but there seems to be some good news, since you released those mineral deposits, in addition to the large-scale use of timber to trade with our dynasty, according to your guidance, a large number of gold and silver mines have been discovered, and a lot of gold and silver are circulated to our dynasty, which can also be used as quasi-currency, and increase the amount of currency used in the country." β
"Brother Antao, even so, can my bank be implemented that day?" Zheng Lang asked helplessly. There are many advantages to establishing a bank, but there must be a premise, there must be sufficient currency, with the huge economic aggregate of the Song Dynasty, it is far from enough to mint more than 9 million yuan of currency a year. Although gold and silver are good, they are quasi-currency and cannot be circulated to ordinary people.
Zhang Fangping said: "Do you want to send some more people to expand the scale?" β
"Yes. In addition, the timber tax of the slave country was exempted. β
"Why?"
Zheng Lang did not answer. It was impossible to send troops to destroy the slave country in the Song Dynasty, but there was no need to send troops, as long as the forest of the slave country disappeared, with the weak water and soil of the slave country, it would inevitably become a desert island in the end. This race, it's terrible. Although the stick is obscene and tenacious, it is far from the future of the people of the Xinguo who will bring great harm to the Zhongnan country. Zheng Lang's strategy of exchanging wood for Song goods can not be described as poisonous, of course, the reason cannot be explained to outsiders, and no one will believe it.
Zhang Fangping said: "Xingzhi, it's not bad, last year's income from the Ping An Prison reached more than 1,360,000 yuan
He fought a cold war.
"Not necessarily, there is a way to live for the poor, and there is a way to live for the rich. The Tang Dynasty's finances were far inferior to those of our dynasty, but the country was powerful and outrageous. Our dynasty is several times that of the Tang Dynasty, and the south is trapped in some small barbarism, Dali does not dare to recover, and a small Western Xia actually offers coins for peace. Zheng Lang said. It stands to reason that the income of more than 10 million yuan a year can improve the economy of the Song Dynasty, which is a part of the improvement, but the effect is not significant. This situation also forced Zheng Lang to make up his mind on throttling.
Zhang Fangping couldn't speak. After a while, Zhang Fangping asked, "In addition to the safety prison, is there a good plan?" ββ¦,
"Yes."
"Where?"
"Xiangshui and the southwest, Lingnan." This is a large area of territory, if the development is successful, how much will it increase the country's taxes?
Zhang Fangping listened, but said nothing again.
"You can't rush, take it one step at a time. In addition, you can use the orders of the three divisions to encourage the development of ship technology in all docks, and only when the ship technology is developed, will it be safe to sail on the sea. I came from the Khitan with Binfu by sea boat, and only encountered a small wind on the way, the waves were amazing, I felt that the sky was dark on the boat, if it was a strong wind and waves, the situation was bad as you can imagine. In the past few years, there have been accidents on ships from time to time, and every year there are as many as three to four hundred people, and as few as dozens of people die at the bottom of the sea. It's just that because of the income, there is no impeachment of the ministers. But in the end, it is a living life. And because of these accidents, the people regarded the sea as a dreadful path, which affected the expansion of the safety prison. β
"Yes," Zhang Fangping sighed. Subjecting the local indigenous people is certainly not the way to go, and there have been several riots. Because of this, there were many battles in the vicinity of the mine. It is still necessary to transport ordinary people from the country, this is the real way.
But Zheng Lang didn't think about this, the fact was that the Ping'an Prison traveled far away, but many people died, and the people were not interested. Otherwise, not only the income from mineral deposits, but also local trade, special products, such as coral, jade, spices, medicinal materials, etc., can bring a lot of income. And now the ships are only running along the coastline and do not reach the center of the ocean, which is far from enough. If you want food, you have to get miscellaneous grains, you have to go to the other side of the ocean, which requires better ships.
If successful, it must make a leap forward in the technology of Song Dynasty ships. Not much, can reach the Southern Song Dynasty's ship technology, and do not seek to be like Zheng He's treasure ship in Dingyang, so that it can sail to the other side of the ocean.
The two talked for a while, and Zheng Lang went back.
The next day, I continued to check the file in Dongfu, I was very careful, there were gold fingers, only some general directions, but what I reviewed in Dongfu was all trivial affairs, and if I was not familiar with it, I couldn't judge correctly.
This attitude and Fan Zhongyan are exactly two extreme directions.
Fu Bi asked Fan Zhongyan, with a wave of your pen, the family cried. Fan Zhongyan replied, it is better than crying all the way. That's a good statement, is there a mistake in judgment between Guan Jian's strokes? The intention of appointing good ministers in a bold way is good, but even if one or two percent of officials make mistakes, they will cause the officials to be dissatisfied, and they will also find a handle for the officials. Intentions are good, not long-lasting. If you can't last long, you can't make your ideas come into practice.
At the beginning of the second early dynasty, Zheng Lang stood in second place on the west side. In fact, he is the real prime minister of Xifu, and no matter how Wang Yiyong stands, he will not stand in the way of his position.
The drought is serious, Zhao Zhen announced Bao Zheng as a transfer envoy in Shaanxi, Zhou Ji people, Bao Zheng did not refuse, after receiving the order to thank him, he said: "There is a warning before the minister leaves, and the minister has heard that Wang Kui is willful and cruel, and he cannot be allowed to live in the role of an example for a long time." He knows the size of the criminal division of this road, and the punishment and transfer are both officials under investigation, and the matter is related, even if there is no selfishness, if the situation is burning, I am afraid that it will not be able to achieve the decree of the court. On the day of Wang Kui's Jinghu South Road, he was unreasonable in the rate of money and materials to harsh the people, and the ministers played the impeachment, descended to Chizhou, and moved to Fuzhou. Although he met Lin Ze and gave up his time to be hired, it was difficult to repent of his violent nature. The things that are done are spread in the government and the opposition, and no one knows it, and the minister and Wang Kui have no grievances, but they are not allowed to discuss things, and they must be said first. Looking forward to the early judgment of Shengci, Yang Hong fell, and descended a small county, so that the cool officials in the world knew a little fear. β
Wang Kui was a sad urge, so that Bao Heizi was targeted.
Previously, Wang Kui was on Jinghu South Road, because of the exploitation, so that the mountain people evaded heavy taxes and fled into the barbarian mountain. After Bao Zheng heard this, he was impeached twice, so that he was demoted.
But soon after, Wang Kui used a huge amount of money to carry out the bigwigs of the DPRK and China, and was transferred to Jiangnan West Road as a transfer envoy. Because there are nobles in the court to protect each other, they are even more fearless. Bao Zheng was angry when he heard this, after all, he was only a middle-level official, so he had to fulfill his responsibilities again and again, and he was impeached last year, but it didn't work. This time, he was transferred to Shaanxi as a transfer envoy and was impeached again. If Zheng Lang doesn't come forward, it still won't work until the fifth time. Wang Kui finally lost his position. But not long after, Wang Kui opened the way with sugar-coated cannonballs, and there was a big man in the capital who was promoted again and became a Huainan transit envoy. Even more reckless, Bao Zheng had no choice but to impeach for the sixth and seventh times. Zhao Zhen finally dismissed the official, and the people in the history of all over the country heard that Wang Kui had lost his office, and happily ran to tell each other, and some people who were framed by Wang Kui carved Wang Kui into a statue and whipped to vent their hatred. β¦,
The facts are not so serious, this official is the same as Yang Riyan impeached by Ouyang Xiu, he was not very good as an official in the early days, but later he was ashamed and brave, and in his later years, he became a good official. But what to do, if you want to mythologize Bao Zheng, you must scandalize Wang Kui.
Zhang Fangping did too well as an official to be ugly, so Wang Kui became a very ugly official in the eyes of later generations.
But in the early stage, Wang Kui was not very good when he was an official, he was originally a good official, but he wanted to take a shortcut, and it happened that a certain bigwig in the capital let his sugar-coated cannonball hit, and he was repeatedly sheltered, which made him more courageous. This is not a cover-up, it is a harm to Wang Kui.
Who is shielding, not Jia Changchao.
Jia Changchao is a villain, but he is not a Cai Jing Li Linfu-style character, the upper is virtuous and the lower is bright, and Cai Jing Li Linfu-style characters are below, and it is very difficult to survive on it. Zhao Zhen will not be compatible either. And after Jia Changchao was decentralized, there were still people covering up.
It's not Chen Zhizhong, and later the Gentlemen's Party said that Chen Zhizhong was a villain, which was wrong. Chen Zhizhong does not show favoritism, Yan Rong is how tall, he studied with himself in his early years, he was his own student, and he was virtuous and virtuous, and entered the pavilion, but Chen Zhizhong in order to avoid suspicion, he was first sent to a small county to be the master, and he was unlucky to be his son-in-law. Of course, it's an illusion, but it's not, and it's a kind of grinding if it's done well. It also illustrates the character of Chen Zhizhong. It's just that his personality doesn't like the random tossing of the gentleman's party. But who will never let Wang Kui's sugar-coated cannonball hit?
The shadow of a dashing brother immediately appeared in Zheng Lang's eyes.
No wonder Bao Zheng has repeatedly targeted the big and small songs.
But the big and small Song literature is very good, and it is a gentleman's party, Ouyang Xiu's heart is not very balanced, and in the end, Bao Zheng is a small whole. Bao Zheng wouldn't tell outsiders, but he told his wife. His wife was scared, so she invited Ouyang Xiu. But this hatred is recorded, after Bao Zheng's death, Ouyang Xiu wrote an article for him, but Mrs. Bao refused.
Ouyang Xiu, Ouyang Xiu, and Zheng Lang silently recited a few times in their hearts. After clarifying this relationship, the only remaining admiration for Ouyang Xiu in Zheng Lang's previous life disappeared. This person is simply a ...... who has deceived the world for more than a thousand years
I have to think about it in my mind, this time Bao Zheng's advice should not have been passed by Zhao Zhen, but he had to lay a foundation for his future.
So he stood up and said calmly: "The minister has a book to play." β
His eyes were fixed on Bao Zheng.
You can't myth Bao Zheng anymore, you know, although Bao Zheng is upright, he is also a little careful. If you say that you don't have a heart, there is only Fan Zhongyan.
Bao Zheng looked at Zheng Lang with a little gratitude.
Zheng Lang swept over Zhang Fangping's face again, he didn't protect Bao Zheng, and he didn't hate Bao Zheng, overall, he couldn't be a myth, and he was still a good official. If you can't get Zhang Fangping down, then you won't have much fun.
Of course, Zhang Fangping couldn't expect it, and his expression was very calm.
Zheng Lang swept to the Great and Small Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty was the deputy minister of the Eastern Mansion and participated in political affairs. Song Qi is the son of the country, and because of literature, Zhao Zhen likes it. Zheng Lang looked at Xiao Song and said slowly: "Your Majesty, officials are not businessmen, they can make countless profits, and officials' salaries have their own fixed amounts. The imperial court gave preferential treatment to scholars, but the price of the capital was expensive, and it was not easy to live in a big place. In addition to having a family background, it may be difficult to want fine clothes and food without accepting bribes. β
Just one sentence, and staring at Xiao Song again, Song Qi's face was frightened.
