Dark clouds are layered in the sky, if the mountains rise, spread to the end of the sky, suddenly the wind rises, and then turns into a horse, wind and rain, and a typhoon descends on the world.

But the weather is very normal in Guangzhou, and there is also in Hangzhou.

Several officials did not take it seriously.

Zheng Lang continued: "In this way, Yuan Transfer, you are responsible for the general dispatch, as well as the road repair project, Bao Punishment Point, you are responsible for maintaining law and order and resettlement, Tian Anfu, you are responsible for the seawall, Yang Transfer, Cai Transfer, you have served in Jiangdong for many years, and you have experience in repairing the Wei, although the form of Guangdong South Road and Jiangdong Wei is different, it is generally similar, and the inland river embankment will be handed over to you." Although the total amount of the project is not large, the vast mountainous areas from north to south, such as Pitian and weir fields and car fields, are all handed over to you. ”

"Whoa." Several people replied.

This transfer can be said to be the best use of people, such as Cheng Shimeng, although he is proficient in water conservancy, and mostly presides over water conservancy in the north, and really let him preside over the matter of embankment, he is more clever than Cai Ting and Yang Cha in water conservancy, but he may not be able to do a good job with Yang Cha and Cai Ting. After returning to Guangzhou, Zheng Lang made a fourth plan adjustment.

It's not just Zheng Lang alone, a lion with a group of sheep goes to the battlefield, the sheep will also turn into lions, and a sheep with a group of lions on the battlefield will also turn into sheep. The same is true for water conservancy, several people are good at water conservancy, at least the lowest Cai Ting and Yang Cha can also be ranked in the top 50 among the officials of the Song Dynasty. Led by Zheng Lang, several officials brought all their potential into play.

When the construction was approaching, each sent officials to inspect the project that was about to be constructed. They have personally gone to observe the key projects. The fourth plan was adjusted by everyone.

Zheng Lang is not a god, some are just golden fingers, implemented in the details, and it is such a large territory, everyone must work together and work together.

This is the way to employ people.

If the book is done well, it is also used well. The same is true for Liangguang. Zheng Lang has said it many times, but not many officials may understand.

Looking at the thick map on the desktop, the patriarch breathed a sigh of relief.

This plan is the plan of the approximate model. Of course, there will be another adjustment, and it will not be until the fifth plan next month that it will be truly implemented.

There is Zhang Youchi, and it's time to chat. Zheng Lang asked Yue'er to make tea. The tea is the best Jianzhou tea, oolong tea flavor, but everyone likes it. Why do many officials feel comfortable following Zheng Lang, this is also the reason, life is not too picky, and the requirements are not very high. On the contrary, Fan Zhongyan can't do it, he can't learn if he wants to, he can't do it at all, but he can still learn Zheng Lang. It's a big deal to work hard and do your duty.

Zheng Lang said: "Ladies and gentlemen, how do you feel when you see that the 350,000 yuan has been used up by us within a year? ”

"Xingzhi. What do you think? Yang asked.

"Isn't it pleasant to spend such a big flower?"

A few people couldn't laugh or cry, but it seemed that they had never controlled the spending of so much money.

Yang Cha said: "There is a lot of pressure on Pang Yuzhi's side, and before leaving, he wrote to me to beg me not to listen to Xingzhi's words. ”

"Bitter it. Yang Zhuan, think about it, if the Liangguang and Jinghu roads are all developed, and the Yushui Basin, the Hanjiang River Basin, the Qinjiang River Basin, and the Xiangshui River Basin become the land of fish and rice, and the country can accommodate 40 or 50 million more living spaces, what kind of situation will China's economy be? ”

Nor can it be said that to increase the area of control, it is necessary to increase the number of officials, soldiers, and management costs, and expenditures are also increasing. It depends on how to adjust and govern, and govern properly, these are the real land of fish and rice, and the place of three crops a year, the economy of the Song Dynasty will go to a higher level, and if the governance is improper, there will be a lot of trouble. …,

It was a dream in the end, and several officials raised their heads and pondered, with some expectation in their eyes.

Raindrops are falling.

Hit the cornice, and it made a hideous sound.

Looking out the window, it was like a curtain of water pulling from the sky to the world.

Zhou Xin suddenly asked, "Zheng Xianggong, what should Di Qing do over there?" ”

"Di Qing, Shanyan City is a spring city, it is like spring all year round, the climate is pleasant, all the soldiers have worked hard all the way, and the sacrifice is even heavier, let them recuperate in Shanyan City for a while." Zheng Lang said a lazy word.

Cai Ting said: "Actually, Dali is still good. ”

"Zizheng, you won't really be interested in Dali, will you?" Zheng Lang said stunned. The reason why the troops entered Dali, they had to take a big advantage from Dali, mainly for deterrence, especially the border tribes, Dali is not as hateful as Jiaozhi, but with the connivance of Dali, the border tribes descend from time to time, such as Nong Xiaqing, if he didn't think that Dali could make a retreat, he might not dare to take in the children of Anon and Nong Zhigao. Scare one

Scared, let Dali become more honest in the future, and the border barbarians will be more peaceful and self-contained.

Is it worth it to use soldiers in Dali?

In a month or two at most, Dali promised himself a treaty, and Di Qing was about to return with his troops. I also have to ask Di Qing for advice on how to deal with Jiaozhi.

Cochin is the top priority in the south!

The next day, it was another conference.

The main thing is to invite the elders from other places, as well as the heads of the various ministries, to let them separate, sit down face to face, and then a series of celebrations. Zheng Lang then said: "Everyone, please stretch out your hand, take each other's hand and say, we are a family." ”

Stretching out their hands, hand in hand, needless to say, these foreign elders and the barbarians held hands, first looked at each other, but the barbarians were very enthusiastic, took the initiative to reach out, and invited many elders, so some of the barbarians automatically pulled the two elders, and then yelled.

It doesn't have to be a family.

It also depends on the fact that the barbarians are still unruly in their bones, but under Zheng Lang's bewitchment again, these barbarians heard a mantra, if they want to be good in Liangguang, they can't do it, they must move a large number of Han people to drive, and it may not work in the spring, but now it will work very well.

Many Han farmers are being offered by them in their own tribes, and the harvest is hot to see one by one.

Zheng Lang did a good job, it was hard to be fine, the soldiers met each other, the clan was exterminated, the soft was more welcome, and he continued to be the same as before. Wine and meat treated each other, supplies were delivered non-stop, and a medicine was invented to treat many malaria patients in the clan, and children were allowed to study in the academy, and the dignified prime minister came to teach in person. How to choose. Fools also know to choose the latter.

The main reason is that I don't pay much attention to the land, and I don't even know how to use fertilizer, and I don't know how to use irrigation. As for the cultivation technology, there were several barbarians who mastered the cultivation technology, the so-called cultivation. Slash-and-burn farming, just like primitive people.

Therefore, before the start of the conference, Zheng Lang sent people to tell them that whether they can have a happy life depends on whether these people can be entertained well, if they are scared back, no one will build water conservancy, no roads, no one will guide them to farm, and Liangguang will drop more money. Their lives won't change either. So don't scare them.

The barbarians saw the benefits, of course, they also hoped that they would have this benefit, plus they came to the meeting to eat and drink and hold them, and they were very enthusiastic about these Han representatives, and some of the barbarian leaders even gave these old men a bear hug. Let these old men be dumbfounded.

That's the opportunity.

Now the time is quite good, the barbarians do not attach great importance to the land, but pay attention to having enough food, enough wine and meat, and do not reject this migration too much. There is also time to mobilize the immigrants by any means. If it weren't for the fact that life couldn't go on, most of the people were unwilling to stay away from the countryside, and at most Zheng Lang moved 400,000 households, it would be a greater miracle than the invention of Artemisia annua. But we can't let them go below 300,000 households. There are more than 70 households in Guangzhou, more than 40 households in the familiar barbarians, and the barbarians cannot be counted, and the Han households are only about 300,000, mostly concentrated in the surrounding areas of Guangzhou. There are 300,000 immigrants, and some people will be relocated one after another, and Han households will account for the vast majority. There are many Han households, and everyone can be conducive to integration. Otherwise, he is very annoying, he has witnessed it in Yanshanbei, the Han households planted, and the Xi people enjoyed their success, why, because the Khitan country has been established for more than 100 years, the Xi people have known the importance of cultivated land, occupy the land, and the Khitan policy covers it, so the Han households want to survive, so they have to become tenants. Zheng Lang didn't want this situation to happen in Liangguang. …,

So the water conservancy has to be much more immediately up, and the migration has to be much more. If you can do it, you will be a family in the future. If you can't do it, it's still two families!

However, with the roar of these barbarians, these old men's hearts have also been put into practice, coming to the south, there are many concerns, miasma, and barbarians are the two most important ones. It seems that Zheng Xianggong invented a medicine and can treat it, and the barbarians are so enthusiastic, it doesn't seem to be like a legend. As for water conservancy and roads, not many people think about it, and the wise old man who can think of it has also heard about the 60 million yuan, and also heard about Jiangdongwei, so he is not too worried.

Continuing to hold meetings, it is just to say things like unity together, and besides, tell not to insult each other, the Han family has come, and you can't look down on the barbarians and think that they are vulgar and ignorant, and the barbarians can't rely on themselves to be the head snake of the land, and use force to bully the Han households, so that the Han households are afraid. Furthermore, the slave trade was strictly prohibited.

It is impossible to ban slavery altogether, but time has come.

If the two Guangxi provinces really have money, they will smash more than 100 million yuan and tap out all the water conservancy potential, at least more than 1 million hectares of cultivated land. Most of these cultivated lands can maintain three harvests a year, and no matter how bad they are, as long as they are intensively cultivated, the yield of one mu of land will not be less than six or seven stones. It is dry land, you can also calmly harvest two seasons, or plant mulberry hemp, tea and fruit trees, all need a huge amount of manpower to take care of, now a family is an average of six people with the old and young, and four people with half laborers, which is good. Cultivating forty acres can be very difficult. In particular, the lazy character of the barbarians is likely to not be able to take care of even twenty or thirty acres of land. Not to mention anything else, I have stayed in Jiangdong Zheng Lang for a long time, Jiangdong Wei Zheng Lang encourages two seasons a year, the people are too tired, a family takes care of fifty acres of land, from morning to night, from old to young, all lying on it. There are good days, but the tiredness of the people makes Zheng Lang feel bitter when he sees it.

Then Liangguang can feed more than 3 million households, and within more than 3 million households, as long as the body is put down, every household can have a well-off life like Jiangdongwei. There will be no contradiction in this land, until the total population becomes more than 30 million, 5 million households, and it can still be fed, but there will be contradictions. However, with the current backward medical conditions, even if the country is peaceful, the population of the two Guangxi provinces will not increase from 1 million households to 5 million households in 100 years or even 200 years. It won't take a hundred years for these measures to be strictly implemented, and in fifty years, 90 percent of the barbarians will all be sinicized, just like the Xianbei people back then. The Han Man family, what contradiction is there? Even if there is a contradiction, it is a contradiction between the surnames and the villages and households. It's not a racial contradiction.

This is a bloody historical lesson, since ancient times, only one country, the United States, can be enlightened, advocating national independence activities in other countries, causing these countries to produce internal strife and division, but in their own country, they are desperately integrated. It's a pity that there are too many races. Black, Red, Yellow and White. However, this problem does not exist in Liangguang. They are all black-eyed, black-haired, and yellow-skinned, why do they have to divide dozens of ethnic groups, and their heads are funny?

It's okay to find a smoke.

The conference tossed for three days. The main thing is to let everyone stay together to drink and chat, and then sing and dance, and perform programs, which seems to be child's play, but in this nonsense, many people do have some friendship. Moreover, the barbarian leaders ate, drank and took it, they were very excited, and the atmosphere of joy and unity was very strong with the Han people.

Only then did some of the old men be sent back, and the matter was not over. More than 100 people were sent to Fujian Road and western Zhejiang with vehicles and printed leaflets.

Patrolling the states and counties of the two places, they first distributed leaflets explaining the immigration measures. There is only one condition, bring enough dry food to eat on the road to Quang Nam East Road, and when you arrive at Quang Nam East Road, you don't have to worry about anything. Build roads and water conservancy, this is not for the imperial court, it is for yourself. Each worker is given a bucket of rice every day, twenty dollars, one foot of cloth, six catties of meat and five feet of silk for a month, which is still Tian Yu's salary. The woman and the old man are counted as six labors, and they have food and clothing for the second year. In addition, the government provides them with production tools, cultivation tools and seeds free of charge, and if each household has more than 10 people, it will give 50 mu of paddy fields, 60 mu of dry land, 10 mu for 5 to 10 people, and 10 mu for those with less than 5 people. These fields are used as private fields for permanent cultivation. Moreover, the taxation of the two Guangxi was promoted, and the barbarian was treated like a barbarian, and only two buckets of grain were taxed per acre, without any additional consumption and expenditure, either four feet of silk were supplied, or the tax was forty cents. Then there is military service, only one ding is drawn from three households, winter training, as a native soldier, given some material rewards, exempt from taxes. Other than that, there are no other two taxes attached. …,

If a family really owns forty or fifty acres of fertile land, it can be regarded as a fourth-class and third-class household in the Central Plains of the Song Dynasty, and the tax is less than two taels a year, which is a very light tax. They don't dare to charge too high taxes to discourage the enthusiasm of the people, and the barbarians will not agree.

The real income, Zheng Lang is focused on the income of commercial taxes and various supervisors and divisions, and even the franchise Zheng Lang is not very interested, of course, he does not dare to give up the franchise. The state has spent too much money in these decades.

And unlike Jiangdong Wei, after the arable land is divided, there is nothing. In the future, there will be many children, and there will still be so much arable land. As long as you go to Liangguang, you will no longer have to worry about having many children, and when you grow up, you will not have to live without arable land, and the tragic incident of strangling and drowning your own children will occur.

The last sentence is a live hit on the fragile hearts of the people on Fujian Road.

On the car, a large wooden board was erected, on which the future plan of Guangnan East Road was marked.

One state and one county walked over, beating gongs and drums all the way, causing hundreds of people to ask questions. In addition, those old men came back to publicize, as soon as the car left in front, there were people behind who packed their luggage, pawned their pawns, and moved to Guangnan Road with their baggage.

The conditions are really not high, and I only bring the food on the road, which can still be done. As soon as you arrive at the boundary of Quang Nam East Road, there will be officials who will arrange a place to go. The people in these two places are industrious, but they can also live the most hard, the fields are less, the monasteries occupy the fields, the landlords occupy the fields, the monasteries on Fujian Road occupy one-sixth of the cultivated land, and the fatal ones are all good fields, and the proportion of western Zhejiang is also very high. Therefore, Zheng Lang went to Hangzhou to arrange Buddha, and the harm was too serious. But there is no way to live, and many people have to become nuns and monks, and go to the monasteries to find a way to live. So a vicious circle is formed. Although few monks and nuns are truly pure-hearted, Master Yongxin was also a prostitute and was arrested alive by the police, not to mention ordinary monks and nuns. But how many people are really willing to be monks and nuns? The proportion of people who are lazy and unmotivated, or who really seek the Dharma is very small.

Coupled with the land occupied by the landlords, how much arable land can be left in the hands of ordinary people. In order to survive, the people of western Zhejiang and Fujian Road competed for land with the mountains and the sea, and all kinds of means were beyond the reach of Zheng Lang even in his previous life.

In fact, these ordinary people are soil experts one by one, with their various unpredictable means, once all crowded to Liangguang, as long as there is no danger of barbarians, there is no worry about miasma, even Wuling, they have the means to change the world. Therefore, those old men were invited to Lingnan by Zheng Lang. I don't ask about water conservancy or roads at all. We may be more proficient than you.

There is another important reason, Zheng Lang.

Jiangdongwei everyone saw that the richest areas in the entire Song Dynasty were Beijing and Hangzhou, followed by Chengdu, Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Ezhou. Agriculture will never be able to dry up industry and commerce. But it is the happiest, the gap between the rich and the poor is the smallest, and almost all households can maintain food and clothing. The area with the highest proportion of well-off is still Jiangdongwei. Under the guidance of Zheng Lang, the polders were planted with willows and mulberries, and the ditches were in order. Not only rich, but also picturesque. See the results and think again. If you can't go, there's no land for you to cultivate, what's the use of going?

Moreover, behind Zheng Lang, there are a series of political achievements such as the Sanbai Canal, the Yellow River siltation, and the Water Conservancy Law.

This reputation is also a famous brand product of the Song Dynasty, and the quality can be absolutely guaranteed.

After that, there was another 60 million yuan.

For a time, the road to Quang Nam East Road was crowded with households, and some barren areas lost half of the people almost instantly. Many large landowners pounded their chests and feet, and then sought officials to stop them. Otherwise, there will be no tenants to cultivate the land immediately.

But that official dared to stop it, not only the affairs presided over by Zheng Lang, but also the imperial court issued a clear decree to let the officials of all states and counties cooperate with the immigration plan, and that official had the courage to go against the wind? …,

And in their hearts. I also want these poor households to leave, otherwise it will be difficult to govern the situation. If you want to make political achievements, you want to be benevolent to the people, you want to love the people, and you want to let the people have enough food and clothing, but the people don't even have arable land. Do you take out your own salary to support them? Zheng Lang gave an order when he was in the middle of the book, all states and counties take the prosperity of the people as their own responsibility, don't make any taxes, no matter how high the taxes are, the people are not happy, and they will not recognize your achievements. Because the country's situation was improving in those years, Zhao Zhen acquiesced to this policy. Therefore, in the hearts of some officials, they think that these poor households are doing well and doing well.

When the ministers of the court received the following news, they couldn't cry or laugh one by one.

Only Pang Ji is worried every day, and he is afraid that Zheng Lang will get 400,000 or 500,000 households, so how much money will he have to settle down?

The people frantically poured in, and Bao Ke's burden was undoubtedly heavy. Zheng Lang stayed in Guangzhou and cooperated with Bao Ke.

This migration will not be suspended until February next year, just in the period from late autumn to winter and early spring, when the miasma is not serious, so that it is convenient for all kinds of water conservancy projects to start and spring plowing and production in February. But since the plan is coming, winter is coming, and it is impossible to wait until spring, if there is, there will be very few.

Even if Zheng Lang cooperated, Bao Ke was still under heavy pressure.

Other officials couldn't get better, so Zheng Lang transferred thirty students from the academy who had a foundation and good moral conduct, and asked them to come to Guangzhou, let them follow him to observe and study, carry out training, and prepare to assign them to various counties to serve as chief managers and other positions.

There were also better Han Chinese, but for the sake of ethnic integration, they had to be dominated by barbarians. In fact, this measure has won the trust of many familiar people.

And following Zheng Lang is equivalent to having some involvement with Zheng Lang, and the county officials cannot be underestimated, otherwise there will be a rejection mentality, which is not good.

In the midst of the busyness, the Dali envoy came to Guangzhou again and brought a head, "Nong Zhigao". God knows who it is, Zheng Lang didn't open the box at all, and it was probably preserved in lime, but he didn't want to look at this disgusting thing. Pushed open the box and said, "Envoy Gao, I received a letter from General Di, and this head is not Nong Zhigao. ”

Dali's envoy was about to cry urgently, and in desperation, he went back to look for Nong Zhigao, but where to find it. wanted to try the prisoner, but the prisoner was handed over to Di Qing, and there was no way to interrogate. had to find a similar common man, kill him, impersonate Nong Zhigao, and let the Song Dynasty retreat. When Di Qing went to where, Di Qing said no, and asked him to come to this prime minister. The prime minister said no, what should I do this time?

Zheng Lang took a sip of tea and said, "But I heard some rumors that Nong Zhigao fled to Meishanman by taking advantage of the chaos. ”

The envoy didn't react at first, why did he go to Meishanman again? After a while, I finally realized it, and I was ecstatic in my heart, Meishan was so good, I almost wanted to kneel down and hug Zheng Lang's thigh and cry bitterly. "Yes, yes, I've heard about it too." ”

"And what's the matter with this head?"

“……”

"Say."

"Zheng Xianggong, don't embarrass our Dali, our Dali is the country of your country, loyal to your country, and has not offended your country."

"Then why did you take in Nong Zhigao and Anong?"

"It's a border area, and we can't control it."

"Heni has crossed the Sanjiang Estuary, which belongs to the core area of your Dali, how to say that it is the border of your Dali, is it your great ideal to cede the Ningfu and Shicheng County to our Song Dynasty?"

The envoy was so anxious that he wanted to cry, there are only a dozen counties and mansions in Dali, and the most Ning Mansion and Shicheng County are the two counties in the east, with a large area, how can this be ceded? Crying with a sad face, he said, "Zheng Xianggong, what do you want?" Go ahead. ”

Shall I stick my neck out and let you slaughter it?

"Okay, ask us to withdraw from the army, the first condition, don't make a dummy head fool our Song Dynasty."

"Yes, yes, Nong Zhigao fled to Meishanman, we Dali have no ability, and we haven't caught it."

Bao Ke and Zhou Xin almost fainted, how did this Nong Zhigao escape to Meishanman, did he have wings?

"Second, draw a border line, and in the future, we will not invade each other, and we are not allowed to take in any of the other tribes, so as not to cause misunderstandings." Zheng Lang said and handed over a map, which clearly marked the border line between the two countries, the Song Dynasty side with Temo Road, Ziqi, Luodian, Luozhi, Wusabu, Wumeng, Mahu, Longyou, Lizhou as the line, Dali side with the most Ning Province, Shicheng County, Dongchuan County and Jianchang Mansion as the line, dividing the border line of the two countries.

Temodao, Ziqi and other tribes, except for a few areas in Lizhou, most of them do not know where they belong, they fall to Dali is Dali, to the Song Dynasty is to the Song Dynasty, this time they are strictly classified as the territory of the Song Dynasty. It can be said that it has taken some small advantage of Dali, and it is not necessary to ask for any territory in the four prefectures and counties of the most Ning Province.

However, after this division, Dali could no longer take in these tribes, which would be very beneficial to the Song Dynasty to manage these areas.

Dali's envoy cried with a sad face, thought for a while and said, "I agree." ”

What if you don't agree? If you don't agree, it is clear that you want to continue to use some small means against the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Lang continued: "The third is to expand the Ancient Tea Horse Road. ”

"No," the messenger of Dali screamed. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
