The sun was setting low, and it was close to evening, Zheng Su carefully walked into the cabin and shouted in Zheng Lang's ear: "Zheng Xianggong, it's here." []”

The faster he grows, the more he compliments Zheng Lang, not only knowing that his wealth is tied to Zheng Lang, but also seeing Zheng Lang's wisdom. Usually, Zheng Su and Zheng Hao are not convinced by anyone, but when Zheng Lang snorted, the two did not dare to make a sound.

"Where are you," Zheng Lang got up with a bone, and after getting on the boat, he slept soundly, he had not been comfortable in the past few days, the dense woods made him not very accustomed to it, and the place where he camped was also damp, and he fell down after arriving on the boat.

Seeing Zheng Lang coming to the bow of the ship, all the soldiers straightened their waists one by one. Not only admire Zheng Lang's wisdom, but also admire Zheng Lang's courage, there are many rumors among the people, saying that the Northwest War is on the front line, and he never takes a step back in the rain of arrows and crossbows. Most of them believe it, after all, they dare to go deep into the Khitan alone, but they don't understand, they are the prime minister, the emperor's confidants and favorite ministers, why do they do this? This battle passed, understood. Zheng Lang didn't kill the enemy, but he just stood behind him, and he was full of courage.

Tian Yu and Zhou Xin also came out.

Zhou Xin said: "Zheng Xianggong, I suddenly understood. ”

"Ji Zhen, what do you understand?"

"Zheng Xianggong said before, during, and after the war."

"Tell me about it."

"Consider before the war, then plan, be flexible and flexible during the war, command well, and expand interests after the war."

Zheng Lang laughed, almost laughed and bent over, the Song Dynasty is good, you can talk about interests openly, it doesn't work in the Tang Dynasty, it doesn't work in the Ming Dynasty, what benefits, benefits are in the people, dare to compete with the people. Actually, it's bullshit! Look at people Zhou Xin and dare to say it directly.

"Can't you?"

"Medium, medium." Zheng Langzhi nodded.

I am very relieved, don't look at the erosion of officialdom in many places in the Song Dynasty, but there are also many good officials. Later generations often remember people, such as Ouyang Xiu, etc., only because the articles are well written. The real good officials do not come from these articles. It is said that officialdom is erosive, and China has been from ancient times to the present. In the future, as long as forty or fifty years after the founding of the country, that dynasty and that generation will be corrupted by officialdom, which is Chinese characteristics. You can't ridicule the Song Dynasty, compared to other dynasties, seriously analyze the officialdom of the Zhao Zhen Dynasty. Five thousand miles up and down in China, it is considered a leader.

"Really?" Zhou Xin was inspired a lot by this war, and was about to write an article, feeling after the war, and asked again without confidence.

"That's right, the basic direction is like this, you can't overthrow the army, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty defeated the Huns. It is of great significance, but it has committed the mistake of recklessness, and we want war at the right time. Otherwise, what does the country do with so many soldiers? But every time you start a war, you have to think about its significance. The war between the two Guangxi and Guangxi was only a supplement, and the main thing was to remove obstacles. When you came, I inquired about your deeds, and I used to be good officials, so I eagerly look forward to it. One hero, three gangs, let us work together to give Liangguang a better tomorrow. Zheng Lang stretched out his hand and slapped Zhou Xin and Tian Yu with a palm.

The latter sentence made Tian Tuesday's heart surge.

In fact, Zheng Lang had the intention of carrying the cultivation in his heart.

The area of Liangguang is too large, not Taiping Prefecture and Hangzhou. If you want it to improve, it will take at least five years, just to improve, and if you want to prosper, it will take at least ten years. I don't want to say five years in Liangguang, maybe I haven't had two or three years. Only one blueprint can be planned, and the successor is particularly crucial. Let's see if I can entrust Liangguang to these two people after I leave.

The boat slowly leaned to the shore.

Zheng Lang stepped off the boat, and Yuan Qi, the transfer envoy of Guangnan East Road, and Bao Ke, who was in charge of the prison, had been waiting for a long time with the officials of Xunzhou.

Seeing many prisoners of war being pushed and shoved, they got off the ship, and they were all dumbfounded. {}

The imperial court had made similar examples in the past, but how many soldiers were used? And how long did it take? The number of soldiers used in this battle was only 900, and the length of time it took in this battle was less than seven days, and almost half of the time spent on the road was used. The place of the battle is still in the core area of the barbarian. …,

Undoubtedly a miracle.

But thinking about Zheng Lang's previous resume, it's not surprising that compared to Yuan Hao, these people are nothing.

After a few words, Zheng Lang turned around and said to the barbarian representatives: "In the past few days, you are also tired, you can go back and rest." By the way, to your chiefs, the meeting will continue tomorrow. ”

"Whoa." More than 200 people dispersed carefully.

Yesterday afternoon's battle had become their nightmare, and they had been awakened by nightmares when they had just taken a nap on the boat. Some people asked the Song soldiers on the boat, how many people were like this, and the answer made them even more afraid, and replied that there were at least 50,000 Tibetan cavalry, and as for the combat effectiveness, these forbidden troops were only medium among the forbidden troops of the Song Dynasty, while the Song Dynasty had 600,000 forbidden troops. It is true that there are 50,000 Tibetan cavalry, but how many of them have the combat effectiveness of this hundred Tibetan cavalry? The combat effectiveness is medium, but in this southern jungle, how many forbidden soldiers can adapt. This is exactly Zheng Lang's confession, or for a little, after the war.

Like Zheng Lang's recital, the rest is not to be said, so these barbarians have a serious misunderstanding, and they are frightened one by one.

Each finds its own master, and has to report these situations, not to offend this prime minister, it is too ruthless, if this prime minister has a bad feeling, there will be a disaster of extinction at any time.

Zheng Lang didn't care what these people said when they went back.

Begin to give orders, and camp just outside the city.

Xunzhou City is not large, there are not so many cells to watch prisoners, and Zheng Lang himself does not like to disturb the people, so he did not enter the city.

He also asked Liu Yimo and Jiang Qiuse to invite the doctor to come over to treat the wounded soldiers, and prepare coffins for the sacrificed soldiers to be buried ceremoniously tomorrow. Also distinguish between prisoners of war. Barbarians to barbarians, Han people to Han people, familiar barbarians to mature barbarians, there will be many people involved this time, and they have to be interrogated quickly, and it just so happens that Bao Ke is here, and he can be the chief judge. The barbarians were to interrogate their tribes, and the barbarians were to ask whether their tribes were involved, so as to discriminate their treatment. The Han people are more important, they are the same as the barbarians, just a knife, only a few people are extremely vicious, most of them are forced by life, and they take risks, a pitiful and hateful group. A knife can kill, but it is the hand that holds the knife that really kills. Through them, this hand can be dug out. If you dig down this line, you can remove the rotten meat of Bazhou.

After a hasty dinner, Zheng Lang called Yuan Xuan, Tian Yu, and Zhou Xin to the big tent.

There were several large oil lamps lit in the big tent.

There is a table in the middle, and on the table is a map, which is a map of Quang Nam East Road.

The map is very large, with all the prefectures and counties of Quang Nam East Road, important roads, and important mountains and rivers marked in great detail. In fact, Zheng Lang didn't like this map, and the drawing was not standard. I drew it from my own memory, as well as the map I took from the states and counties of Quang Nam East Road, and then processed it. But now there is no standard word for cartography, and even the maps drawn by oneself are not standard.

Zheng Lang said: "Zizhong, Ji Zhen, Yuan Yun. The problem of godliness is solved. ”

The three nodded.

It hasn't really been solved, and there are many follow-up things, but the main one has been solved. Immediately interrogate them one by one, and the people behind the scenes will be able to find out. These people have families and businesses, or they have a great business, and they can't escape if they want to, unless they flee to a living area. Loss of family business. They went to the barbarian settlements to take their families as slaves?

As long as these people are caught, the remaining powerful landlords will not fight the idea of the salt policy in Qianzhou for so long, and they will not fight the idea of the new salt policy in the future.

The problem of Shengman is not big, the long Wuling, from the southern end of Dawuyi Mountain to the 90,000 Mountains and Phoenix Mountain on Guangnan West Road, Shengman can reach hundreds of thousands, the number of people seems to be a lot, but compared to such a vast area. There are not many people. This is also determined by the slash-and-burn lifestyle, where a tribe must have a large territory if it wants to survive. The north-south dividing line between Liangguang and Fujian Road, Jiangnan West Road, and Jinghu South Road can have hundreds of thousands of people. But when it was reduced to the pious path, there were only a dozen tribes, large and small, less than 10,000 people, and only two or three thousand strong people, plus some fierce women, three or four thousand people were enough. But in this battle, more than 1,000 of the bravest warriors were killed or captured. It is almost a devastating blow to these barbarisms, and it will not be possible to recover from it for more than ten years. Either they didn't participate, and why should the barbarian tribes who didn't participate provoke them? …,

The specific situation is not known yet, and we have to wait for Bao Ke's confession.

Zheng Lang said: "Let's talk about the development of the two broads. ”

That's the right thing. The three nodded again.

"If we want to have a better future for Guangzhou, we must solve the miasma, barbarians, roads and water conservancy. Before I came, I was very concerned about miasma, some areas may have miasma, and some are exaggerated because the people are backward, such as the rumored New State as a field. Yingzhou is a small law field, Gaozhou and other peninsula states should not be close to people, Guangnan West Road is more serious, everywhere is killing, large and small law fields. But have you found that these Dharma Fields are scarce among the people, and the fewer they are, the more likely they are to become Dharma Fields and places where miasma prevails? ”

Yuan Xuan's mouth opened, Zheng Lang stopped him, shook his head and said: "Another example is Duanzhou, the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Yuanzhong, was demoted here as a county lieutenant, and Bao Zheng's political achievements here are impressive, I have never heard that they have encountered miasma, but in the rumors, Duanzhou is also one of the law fields." Why? Rumors frightened the people, less and less, less people to live, more and more decay in river valleys, woods, swamps, corpses, poison rampant, and more legends, so a vicious circle. In fact, as long as there are people active and good officials to govern, all miasma areas can become paradise on earth. I never worried about miasma, but I was worried about malaria. ”

That's what really matters, unless you go to South America and find the cinchona tree, get it, and use its bark to cure malaria. The best is artemisinin, Artemisia annua is everywhere, but how to extract artemisinin from Artemisia annua, Zheng Lang was dumbfounded. With the current technical conditions, even if Gewuxue is popularized, it will not be possible to make this thing in two or three hundred years. Not even a steam engine and a gun can be made. As a result, he is now more and more interested in the continents on the other side of the ocean.

Even the latter is also beyond the reach of the whip, Zheng Lang quickly skipped it and said: "Then there are the barbarians, I held two meetings in Guizhou in a row, and launched this campaign, which is to deal with the barbarians." I'm already working on this. Then there are roads and water conservancy. If you want to develop, it is mainly the people, and you cannot develop without the people. So, let's start with Quang Nam East Road. ”

Yuan Qian and Tian Yu nodded.

Zhou Xin was a little unhappy, but there was no way, the conditions of Liangguang and Guangdong were indeed better than those of Guangnan West Road. As long as it is driven properly, with the skills of this prime minister, it will soon be effective. The conditions of Quang Nam West Road are too poor, even if it is a saint who comes, it will not be good for a long time.

Zheng Lang continued: "The road is first of all a post road, and the main post road of the imperial court is from Guangzhou, to Yingzhou and Shaozhou into Chenzhou, but the south side of Jinghu South Road is more backward than Guangnan East Road, and this post road is not very valuable for commercial purposes except for transmitting intelligence. Unless the south side of Jinghu South Road is fully developed, each other can pull each other. At least it has little significance for the economic promotion of Guangnan East Road. Either it's the Lingqu, that's the matter of Guangnan West Road, and I'll talk about it later. Then there are a few private salt roads. To the east is the salt road that enters the Tingzhang area of Fujian Road, and these two states are also backward areas of Fujian Road, but there is a road that goes up from the Hanjiang River to Tingzhou, and there is a road from Tingzhou to Qingliu, which starts from Qingliu. There is sand water leading directly to the Min River. However, the water flow in the upper reaches of the Shashui and Hanjiang rivers is turbulent, and the road from the clear stream to Tingzhou is far away, and all of them are mountain roads, so the transportation cost is high. Unless the sand water and the upper reaches of the Hanjiang River are fully dredged, the Qingting Road will be rebuilt. ”

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but rub my head.

With this technology and conditions to expand this road, Fujian Road is overpopulated and there is no shortage of labor.

The problem is the money. If this project emerges, it will not only play an important role in the development of Guangnan East Road, but also have a positive impact on Fujian Road. But how much does it cost? There seems to be some surplus in the treasury, and if you spend it with your own hands, you will spend it in two years at most. …,

took a sip of tea, calmed his mood, and said: "The cost is too great, and there are two other roads, Xunqian Road and Jianlong Road, these two waterways are developed, and they are connected to the economically developed Jiangnan West Road, and the waterways are far away. The south leads directly to Yushui, the ditch connects the two vast parts of the area, the north connects the Ganshui, and reaches the Yangtze River, as long as the two mountain roads are expanded, the two roads can be connected. After this battle. There is no longer any obstacle to the Qianzhou Salt Administration and Trade Law, and a large amount of Guangyan entering Jiangnan West Road will also drive commercial development. Follow the pious road directly, there is no private salt on the side of Jianlong Road, and the regeneration of right and wrong has lost its meaning, and it will also be smooth and smooth. Once built, there is not much money and silk, but the significance is very significant, not only salt, but also commerce, therefore, Zizhong you and the Yuan Yun envoy sent someone to check, you can start to build now, and then calculate, how much silk will cost, I will ask the court for you. ”

"Moreover, the accessibility of roads in various states and counties, you also have to send officials to explore, during this time, I myself stayed on Guangnan East Road, inspected the states, and if you have any questions, come to me directly."

"Inspect all the states on Quang Nam East Road?" Zhou Yi asked in surprise.

"Well, not only all the states I'm going to take a look and make an understanding. In the end, together with the more than 40 county seats, I will try to take a look at them one by one, and if I want to have political achievements, I can't do it behind closed doors without understanding. I am not a master, and I know the world with a book of changes. ”

All three of them laughed dumbly.

"Ji Zhen, don't be happy, there are more problems on Guangnan West Road, I don't want to touch it for the time being, and with Yu Jing in charge, it will be safe for the time being. You happen to be with me, and let's accumulate some experience together. Let's start with Guangnan West Road again. ”

Zhou Xin's face immediately wrinkled like a bitter gourd. It's easy to say, but if you go through all the states and counties, it will be very hard. In some places, there are still frightening fields, small law fields.

Zheng Lang continued: "That's about road planning, and I'll talk about water conservancy. When talking about water conservancy, we must talk about water potential, for example, in Taipingzhou, since ancient times, the Yangtze River has moved northward, so when I went to Taipingzhou, the port was set in Wuhu, not the state city. The biggest change in the water potential of Quang Nam East Road is the Yushui Delta, where several tributaries have a huge amount of water, although the river water is clear most of the time and the amount of sediment is small. However, flash floods occur in the upper reaches of the country, and when typhoons are in full swing, some sediment will fall from west to east. When the sediment reaches the delta, the speed of the water flow gradually decreases as the terrain flattens. Once the river flow rate drops, the sediment is prone to sedimentation. When I came, I deliberately paid attention to the evolution of this precipitation on both sides of the Yushui River. ”

Tian Yu and Zhou Xin were first surprised after hearing this, and then ashamed, Zheng Lang followed Yushui to Guangzhou, and then entered Longchuan from Guangzhou, and arrived at Xunqian Dao, but he also came all the way, but he didn't pay attention at all.

They also thought wrongly, now no one pays attention to geology at all, someone records changes in the terrain, but no doctrine of scale is formed.

Different visions lead to different things to observe.

"This sediment brings benefits, so that the delta plain area is formed and developed, and every year is gradually expanding, the lower stream of the Hanjiang River, then to Yushui, to the Qinjiang River in Qinzhou, all form some alluvial plains, silt up a large amount of fertile land, with the cultivation of the upstream people, the destruction of the environment, the greater the amount of sediment loss, the faster the expansion of the plain. However, there are also many drawbacks, because the expansion of alluvial plains leads to frequent changes in river channels, and the delta plains are often hit by floods. ”

"Yes, yes," Yuan Qian nodded again and again, and said: "It turns out that this is the truth, Zheng Xianggong, if you don't say it, I really can't think of it." ”

After finishing speaking, I wondered in my heart if I wanted to get a copy of the Gewu written by Zheng Lang and take a look. Then it occurred to me that no, there was no such thing written in the Confucian doctrines.

Zheng Lang pressed his hand and said: "Yuan Yun envoy, don't worry, listen to what I have to say, but the people don't understand, they only know how to chase the fertile land, these alluvial plains are very fertile, so they cultivate along the river, and even the seaside is because of the fertile soil, there are many people who come to farm." The more people there are, the greater the damage caused by floods, especially by the sea. Both Guangxi and Guangxi are very backward in terms of water conservancy, and many areas along the sea have not built seawalls. Once a large typhoon blows, it will become a disaster again. When I was heading south, I drew another map through various information and made some water conservancy plans for Quang Nam Dongchong. ”

"Where's the figure?" Yuan Qian asked in surprise.

When it comes to water conservancy, Zheng Lang's proficiency in water conservancy is unparalleled. There's a good chance this map will be a treasure.

Zheng Lang took out a thick scroll from behind, did not open it, rubbed his head again, and sighed: "Now there is a problem, where is the money." ”(。 If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
