Li Xian replied cautiously: "Your Majesty's body occasionally has a small illness, and he is relatively healthy. ”

Of course, he didn't know what Zheng Lang was thinking in his heart.

After the death of Zhao Ji in history, a series of stories occurred. Cai does want to support Zhao Hao, the younger brother of Zhao Hao, the king of Wu, Cai does have Cai Cheng's idea, no matter how Song Taizong ascended the throne, the Song Dynasty also has the tradition of passing on brother to brother, and a royal brother who is mature in mind and body ascends the throne, and the country will be able to transition smoothly immediately. As a result, it was opposed by Wang Qi and Zhang Dan, and the worst thing was that Gao Taotao suddenly rebelled. As a result, Zhao Xu ascended the throne. Then Sima Guang recalled, overthrew and overthrew the reform.

But the story is not over, Gao Taotao adopted a repressive education for Zhao Xu, and Cheng Xiaofuzi, a rotten Confucian, added fuel and vinegar, Zhao Xu lived in the dark when he was a teenager, his mood was low, coupled with a lack of exercise, his body did not have much immunity, and as a result, he suffered from tuberculosis, that is, tuberculosis. But at the beginning, this disease was not incurable, Gao Taotao was afraid that the disease would be exposed, affect the stability of the Song Dynasty, or some other idea, so he actually concealed Zhao Xu's illness and even did not let the doctor treat it.

It can also be seen from the portraits of various emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty in history that the image of Song Zhezong is like an opium devil.

Gao Tao died, and Song Zhezong was in power, but due to low physical fitness, he has no children. Originally, in order to reform, Zhang Dian learned from Sima Guang and others to smear Song Shenzong, and smeared Gao Tao, Xiang was shocked when he heard it, if that, Gao Tao smeared, and her status could not be kept, so she found Song Zhezong's mother, Concubine Zhu, and Concubine Zhu pleaded, but to no avail. When Song Zhezong was critically ill, he couldn't speak, so Xiang told a big lie in front of Song Zhezong, saying that Zhao Xu's last words would hand over the throne to Zhao Ji, that is, Song Huizong. In fact, Song Zhezong also has a younger brother named Zhao Yi. Even according to the tradition of the Song Dynasty, it is impossible to pass it on to Zhao Ji.

Why did Xiang do this, the word right.

Concubine Zhu originally thought that her son was precious, and if she had a son as the king, she would be shaken as the queen mother.

In his previous life, he had argued with a man. It's hard to say, what if Zhao seems to be worse than Zhao Ji. In his previous life, Zheng Lang disagreed, without him, the strange political system of the Song Dynasty! In this kind of system, it is difficult to do good things and reform, but it is not easy to do bad things. It was Song Zhenzong who became mediocre in his later years, and the Northern Song Dynasty was still developing. It can be said that Zhao Ji can defeat the Song Dynasty like that, and he is the best of the best.

One of these is the right, and the other is the ability.

The story of three women. One is not as good as the other. Liu E also has a strong sense of power, but under her management, she handed over a good foundation to her adopted son.

In the hands of Gao Taotao, he did not let the Song Dynasty collapse, but he was extremely selfish, and even listened to the instigation of his mother's family, completely discrediting his son's achievements.

As for the Xiang family, it is a sinister poisonous snake, leaving nothing but disaster to the country and the people.

But Zheng Lang is not very worried about this.

Under their own deliberate care. Cao Gao made good returns to the three families, although they made a large number of hidden fields public, but the share deeds of each supervisor made the three families fat. Without the instigation of these three families, several women in the palace have always been not evil about reform.

Gao Taotao often listened to lectures through the screen when he was teaching Zhao Ji. Occasionally, I wonder how much I will be edified. Moreover, the contradictions provoked by the pace of reform gradually dissolved later. Of course, the magnates will still be insatiable, and this is not only the Song Dynasty. The Khitan also has it, and the three million lives make it impossible for the Khitan to send troops to Western Xia. In other words, Zhao Ji is dead, and the contradictions caused by the reform are not as serious as they have ever been. Even if Gao Tao adopts some conservative approaches, he will not be as desperate as he has done in history.

But Zheng Lang still hopes that Zhao Ji will live, at least for ten years.

Then the power can be handed over safely, Zhao Xu does not have that kind of oppressive environment, he may not get tuberculosis, even if he does, he can be treated in time, and it will not be as serious as in history. will even leave the prince and grandson, as long as it is not for Zhao Ji, who is the best goods, the Northern Song Dynasty will not perish so quickly.

In addition, science and technology are advancing, maybe more powerful weapons will be developed in the future, and even as long as Zhao Ji is safe, the debt is gradually repaid, and the country's finances are getting healthier and healthier, he can tentatively launch an attack on Youyun. There is no need to seduce the Jurchens, then the possibility of the Jin people going south is infinitely reduced.

Li Xian said so, but he couldn't listen to it.

Zheng Lang looked at the handsome young man beside him again.

What is the condition of Zhao Ji's body, only Zhao Ji and a few imperial doctors around him know.

It will probably not be dangerous, otherwise Zhao Xu cannot be allowed to come to the northwest, otherwise as soon as Zhao Xu has an accident, Zhao Xu will ride a thousand miles to the capital, and it will be too late.

And it is unlikely, there is no defeat of the summer, there is no defeat of Yongle City, the country and the people, and the martial arts of culture and martial arts have reached the peak of the Song Dynasty almost at the same time, and Zhao Ji's mood is undoubtedly cheerful.

When he first ascended the throne, he took over almost everything. It is not history, history says that Wang Anshi presided over the reform, but they all ignore the role of Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji actually participated in secret, and was in internal and external difficulties, which seriously delayed his health.

However, there are few activities in the palace, and there are N beautiful girls, it is difficult to live a long life, Song Gaozong has a long life, but a few people know that he has been exercising since he was a child, and his martial arts are better than ordinary generals, and longevity is the foundation laid by Zhao Gou when he was a teenager.

Or later Qianlong, his longevity was also the result of his fondness for activities.

Therefore, Zhao Xu's physical fitness is not very good now, he is often sick, and he is a little worried, plus he has fewer and fewer affairs in the northwest, and Zhao Xu is getting older at the age of nine, so he made this move?

Because he was far away in the northwest and deliberately far away from the center of power, Zheng Lang couldn't get useful information and couldn't figure it out.

After thinking about it, let Li Xian and Zhao Xu sit down and drink tea first, and then write a recital.

The first is to write that Zhao Ji did this, which violated the system.

In fact, Zheng Lang still welcomes this approach, let these crown princes go out of the palace to take a look, they can see the suffering of the people, or they will be used by powerful ministers in the future, but even if the crown princes are in the deep palace, the powerful ministers will not participate in the succession?

But it does violate the system, and it must be written.

Secondly, it is said that the six princes can be taught in the body, but only in the northwest, once the northwest is over, he must have the appearance of Zhishi, stay away from politics, and Zhao Xu must also be brought back to the palace.

One last thing to say.

Zheng Lang was ruthless in greening, and the direct appropriation of the imperial court alone reached nearly 70 million. He is not an environmentalist, but he is forced to do so. China's topography is separated by plateaus in the west, which formed China's natural guarantee before the age of science and technology. so that it will not be affected by the civilizations of Central Asia and Europe. As for the south, it is not at all a threat, including the current Cochin. The biggest threat is still in the north, so the north is China's center of gravity for the next two to three hundred years.

However, due to the harsh water and soil, many major droughts and floods, the Yellow River burst its banks, and this root was harmed again and again.

If greening keeps up, disasters will be reduced, and the economy and grain production in the north will all keep up, and the north will be stable. The whole country is stable. That's why there are river workers, greening, and areas where grazing and farming are prohibited.

Many areas, including Shaanxi, Hehuang and Xixia, are now seeing large areas of greenery, and the amount of sediment in many tributaries of the Yellow River is gradually decreasing. Especially Western Xia.

But this kind of stable life, the population of the Xixia region will also surge in the future, and the population will increase, and in order to live, it will be cut down indiscriminately.

This is the future crisis of the western region.

There is an even greater crisis across the country.

This spring, the household department counted the number of households. Including the Hehuang and Xixia regions, the number of households in the country has reached more than 24.7 million. That is, the number of households in the Song Dynasty increased at a rate of 500,000 to 700,000 per year.

At this rate, in 20 years, the number of households in the country will reach between 35 million and 40 million. Then. With the large area of the Song Dynasty, even if there are miscellaneous grains, there will also be trouble. But at that time, because of the appearance of miscellaneous grains, so many years of seed cultivation. Although grain production did not surge, the yield per mu increased by nearly half a stone, that is, the crisis was not obvious at that time. At most, the phenomenon of tenant grabbing is becoming more and more serious, and there are more and more tenant farmers and poor households.

But in another fifty years.

The number of households was likely to be 60 million. Once this number of households is reached, there is no threat from foreign enemies, and the biggest crisis of the Song Dynasty will come.

I remember that in the spring, when the number of households came out, many literati wrote poems and recited them. In ancient times, population growth was an important manifestation of a country's internal governance. But they didn't know that this terrible crisis was already quietly coming.

There is also a crisis, and that is the increase in the number of children of the clan. In order to prevent the kings from rebelling in the country, the policy of the Song Dynasty was to keep the children of the clan in captivity in the capital, and because the number increased, they began to move to Yingtianfu. But the rate of increase is getting more and more terrifying, two thousand this year, four thousand in 20 years, and 8,000 in 40 years.

At that time, the money and silk in the inner treasury will not be used for the urgent needs of the state, and it will not even be enough to support the children of the clan!

So Zheng Lang proposed the last prison, Zhenyuan Prison.

This is a combination of the development of the south and the plan of the Waiting for the Winter.

First of all, the islands of the South Seas that have no obvious political kingdom were divided and auctioned.

One is to give the right to operate, and the other is to give the island owners and earls false titles.

The scattered small islands are grouped together, and the large islands are divided into several or dozens of areas. The money from this auction will not be misappropriated by the imperial court, but will be used to suppress the indigenous forces on the islands.

This is the beginning, and the future is an enlarged version of the Waiting Plan.

It is impossible to rely on the indigenous people to operate, and it is necessary to immigrate from the Central Plains, give each island owner an amount of immigration, and let them take the poor households to Nanyang by themselves. Then pay a certain amount of money to the imperial court every year, so that the imperial court can support the officers and soldiers stationed there. In the process, the imperial court will earn a little, but not much.

The income from the operation of the islanders, including the cultivation of mining and livestock, went to them after paying taxes to the imperial court. However, various restrictions were imposed, as well as the protection of immigrants from the Central Plains.

After the immigrants from the Central Plains passed, they enjoyed the protection of the laws of the Song Dynasty, and although they were equivalent to the enlarged tenants of the island owners, their treatment could not be lower than in China. The second is the lease agreement for the immigrants from the Central Plains, and the tax paid to the island owner cannot be higher than that stipulated by the Song Dynasty court, in fact, it will be a very low tax, and the court stipulates that the tax paid by the people is not high, and the high is higher than the miscellaneous taxes of the officials in the states and counties. Then there is the electoral system.

In the past, there will be new villages, and a certain number of immigrants will let them elect a representative by themselves, and if the island owner is in power, these representatives will represent the voices and demands of the immigrants, discuss and veto with the island owner, and even put forward some proposals for government affairs.

In the future, the imperial court will assist the island owners to suppress the rebellion, but if the immigrants rebel because of the tyranny of the island owners, the court will not cooperate with the island owners to suppress them, and even disqualify the island owners.

The implementation of these measures will protect the happiness of immigrants in the past to the greatest extent.

But the owners of the island also have the benefits of the owners, one is that they will get a count, and the other is that they can extract the maximum profit from the local natives. This Zheng Lang won't say, they will understand it. If the pressure is tightened, the natives will also resist, even if the imperial court comes forward, the interests of the island owners will also be harmed. Pressed loosely. The natives are stable, but the benefits will not be much. Let the island owners choose freely.

In fact, Zheng Lang did not have a good impression of the natives of Nanyang in his heart, and in later generations, they raised butcher knives to the Chinese again and again, what is there to sympathize with?

And the advantage is in the area, there are too many terra nullius in the South Seas, and the area is too much, that is, to pay the imperial court taxes, and the islanders have a lot of income because of the vast area.

Also, there are the children of various clans. also let them divide the island owners and arrange to go to Nanyang, even if they are dragon sons and dragon grandsons, and go to Nanyang, it will not be harmful to the Central Plains Dynasty, then the surge in the number of clan children will not become a disadvantage of the Song Dynasty. On the contrary, with these clan children as a link, the relationship between Nanyang and the Central Plains Dynasty will be even closer.

But in the past, there were many difficulties, one was the hot weather. The second is malaria, and the third is ship technology.

The development of the south has reduced people's fear of hot weather in the south.

Cinchona trees will not be widely relocated until at least 20 years have passed. However, it further reduces the harm of malaria.

In recent years, ship technology has made considerable progress, the accident rate at sea has gradually decreased, and people have gradually explored some weather patterns at sea, although it is not accurate. This, combined with the large number of settlements and the establishment of small ports, further reduced the likelihood of ship sinks.

Because of the mining, with the settlements. As well as supply points, some soldiers and civilians began to appear on the islands, and it is not uncommon to set up a small number of officers and some soldiers to serve on errands.

Over the years, the situation of the islands in the South Seas has become clearer, and many of the islands have mature supply points, lighthouses, ports, and the ability to communicate with some local indigenous people, and the foundation has kept up.

In the future, weapons became more and more advanced, which could ensure the superiority of the Central Plains people.

The introduction of a lot of fruit, the improvement of sugar cane cultivation technology, and the exploration of rubber refining technology will increase the attractiveness of the south to various magnates.

In the beginning, the owners of the islands would not go to the island, but only the stewards of the family, including the children of the clan. But there is one thing, it doesn't matter if the island owner stays in the Central Plains, on the contrary, because they stay in the Central Plains, they don't dare to do anything. The children of the clan stayed in a few capitals, and with the dividends of this island owner, they did not need the state to bear the cost, and after a long time, Nanyang was no longer a daunting path, and they got a lot of dividends, and it is estimated that the scholars and doctors would also forcibly drive them to Nanyang at that time.

In fact, this supervisor Zheng Lang did not expect to make much profit for the imperial court, and it would be the owners of various rich islands who would make the profits, so Zheng Lang repeatedly said that there would be a prison in the future, which would be more profitable than the bank supervisor, and Zheng Lang did not expect these islands to be classified as Chinese territory in the future, and he was not sure that they would become independent one after another in one or two hundred years. But it will play several important roles.

To reduce the pressure of population explosion, from the Nanyang islands to the other side of the ocean, even if the area of the Song Dynasty has increased now, their area is seventeen or eighteen times that of the Song Dynasty. Then it can accommodate more than 400 million households. If you want to surge to 400 million households, how young do you have?

With the diversion of population, the phenomenon of mergers and seizures in various places has automatically declined, and the most obvious example is the Fujian Road after the development of the south. The people in the front flocked to Lingnan, and the main households in the back lowered their rents one after another to keep the tenant farmers. As a result, domestic contradictions have weakened.

The development of Nanyang will increase the business circle and further stimulate the development of the country's industry and commerce.

And if the world pattern changes in the future, it is not expected that they will walk together with the Central Plains and form a group like Jews, they are actually very pessimistic about this Zheng Lang, but they are still in the same blood, at least they can show solidarity and support, after all, there are very few characters like Li Moumou.

At the same time, this enlarged version of the Houhou system is actually close to a democratic parliamentary system. This is also to explore a new path in the future.

And whether it is the owner of the island, or the children of the clan, they are rich, powerful, clan, or relatives, they benefit, the opposition will not be very strong, and they will bring the people to emigrate, so they will not put much pressure on the court.

In the beginning, the islands were all allocated to areas very close to the Song Dynasty, which was a resource, so it would make the magnates more nervous and enthusiastic.

But the difficulty lies in some old-fashioned scholars, after all, an open country like the Tang Dynasty forbade the flow of people to foreign countries. With so many people moving overseas, what will these scholars think?

Zheng Lang told Zhao Ji this idea a long time ago, maybe the magnates are very happy, there are earls, there is wealth, and there is a desire for land. Although it is overseas, it is millions of acres of cultivated land in one circle, and how much arable land was in the hands of the five surnames and seven families in the Tang Dynasty?

But as the emperor himself, there must be some hesitation in his heart.

But the population has skyrocketed to such a point that the momentum of mergers and acquisitions is rising again, and this is now, ten or twenty years from now?

When the time comes to implement this prison.

Write the fold and send it to the capital, then look at Li Xian and Zhao Xu, and call the guards. They were instructed to find four doctors with excellent medical skills from the state capitals of Lingxia Road to serve Zhao Xu.

Li Xian didn't know Zhao Xu's physical condition in the future, thinking that Zheng Lang was respecting the royal family, and said in a sharp voice: "Zheng Gong is really cautious in doing things. ”

"It's bitter cold in the northwest, so you have to be careful." Zheng Lang said lightly.

The actual cause of tuberculosis is mainly a dark and humid environment, which is conducive to the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Kaifeng's well-developed water system has created a developed business, but the overall environment is humid, if Gao Tao gives Zhao Xu an unclear place to live, then it increases the possibility of tuberculosis. Then there's your own immunity. This one has nothing to do with the high-pitched cold of the Northwest.

But Zheng Lang is still very careful.

Then Zheng Lang often took Zhao Xu around to inspect the people's situation.

Learn the experience of governing the people. At the same time, exercising more can make the body healthier.

For Zhao Xu, the latter is more important than the former.

Zheng Lang folded to the capital, causing an uproar. But what Zheng Lang said was the truth. The increase in population shows that the Song Dynasty has indeed been well governed in recent years, but the rate of increase is too terrifying, and the number of children of the clan has surged. It has become a disadvantage of the Song Dynasty.

In the midst of the noise, Zhao Ji ordered to choose some nearby islands for experimentation.

As Zheng Lang expected. Many sour Confucians opposed it, but the rich and powerful welcomed it. Even many of the clan's children are lobbying everywhere. They couldn't imagine that they could stay in the capital for the time being, but in the future, they would be rich and powerful, and the scholars would let them stay in the capital?

In the front test, there are countless people in the back, trying to get the qualification of this island owner. This incident even alarmed some powerful people in Hehuang and Western Xia.

Hearing this, Zheng Lang breathed a long sigh of relief, this was his last wish.

As for the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, with his age, it is impossible to wait. By the time it came, he might have reached his eighties. Zheng Lang wants to live to be in his eighties, nineties, but is it possible?

……

Another year of spring is coming.

The snow in the distance has not melted, Zheng Lang came to Fengzhou to inspect, and he is about to do a big thing.

Suddenly, an iron horse came quickly, and when it came closer, the soldier immediately turned over and dismounted, and handed a piece of information to Zheng Lang.

Li Xian and Zhao Xu looked curiously on the side.

There is one thing written on the intelligence.

Zheng Lang did not leave the northwest, but the foundation of the Song Dynasty's rule was not solid. Most of the tribes hostile to the Song dynasty were suppressed. But there's more. The other is some people who are loyal to the Western Xia royal family.

After so many years, there are still many original Western Xia nobles and ministers who often enter the Xingqing Palace to pay homage to Li Bingchang.

Seeing that the rule of the Song Dynasty was becoming more and more solid, some of them were in a hurry. These people have joined forces in secret, and they have not said what they want to do, but these people are moving more and more.

Seeing that Zhao Xu was watching, Zheng Lang simply handed this information to Zhao Xu and asked, "Six princes, what are they going to do?" ”

"Rebellion."

"But now that the people's desire is beneficial to the imperial court, they don't have an army in their hands, and they don't have many clans to support them, so what ability do they have to rebel?"

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "Could it be...... Khitan? ”

"In the middle of the year, the Khitan extorted three million dollars from me and got a batch of wealth, and in recent years, miscellaneous grains have gradually become popular, and finally I can't hold my breath." Zheng Lang smiled slightly, this little Zhao Xu has good qualifications and is very smart, no less than Li Gui when he was a teenager. The more this is the case, the more cautious Zheng Lang is about Zhao Xu.

"Then inform Your Majesty." Lee Hsien Dao.

"I must report to Your Majesty, but it doesn't matter if Hebei Hedong, the people of Hebei Hedong are loyal to the imperial court, so the Khitan will do it, or concentrate their forces to go west, and cooperate with these people." Zheng Lang paused, and then said, "But they came well!" ”

PS: Today the book is finished. In the new book streaking, I don't like publicity, so I have to ask my book friends to top it, ask for the recommendation votes, evaluation votes and collections in the hands of book friends, and top the classification list.
