Zhao Zhen thought about it for a while, and it was impossible to transfer back to the capital, and besides, no other minister in Taiping Prefecture could afford to provoke it at the moment.

Thinking of this, he smiled smugly.

There is friendship between the two, but Zheng Lang will not say this kind of friendship, what kind of friends do you make with the emperor? Zhao Zhen would not think like this, he only thought that Zheng Lang was very loyal to him and was his confidant.

It's not Fan Zhongyan, although he is good, he is too stubborn, he likes Hu Lai, and he starts to form a party. Lu Yijian also seemed a little uneasy.

Only Zheng Lang's young age made him feel very regretful.

Unable to return to the capital to increase the official, he had to reinstate the official again and grant more than 120 hectares of Jingchunwei to Zheng Lang as a sealed field.

Later, the number of Wei, still used the name of Jingyou as the name of the Wei, and then went to Jingtai Wei, Jinghe Wei, Jing'an Wei, Jingren Wei, Jingzheng Wei, Jingchun Wei, Jingfeng Wei, Jingyang Wei, Jingjia Wei, Jingzhong Wei, Jingchun Wei...... On the other hand, there is a bunch of Yu.

The minister can't be silent, isn't Zheng Lang allowed to use the era name to name it? It doesn't matter.

Jingchunwei is a small polder in the new circle this year, but it is relatively large in scale.

I don't know how much arable land there is, but the results of the exploration came out, and it was written on the fold that it was about 120 hectares.

After Zheng Lang's change, the payment is only two years of taxes, and the 250,000 yuan of money and goods are not counted, without Taiping Prefecture, there are more than 250,000 yuan of money and materials to settle these displaced people, that is, to raise tumors and raise them into the box soldiers, and before they are formed in the box soldiers, at least they have to spend so much money and materials.

It is really not too much to give birth to a large city, with more than 7,000 hectares of fertile polders, and only 120 hectares of fertile polder.

After the edict was issued, it attracted Zheng Lang to whip it hard.

Not only did he not accept it, but he wrote a memo and handed it to the capital, questioning Zhao Zhen.

Resisting the Chinese Decree is my own trouble, and now that the truth is revealed, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister should understand. This is the reason why I still have the cheekiness to continue to stay in Taiping Prefecture as a taishou. However, as a subordinate, it was a serious mistake to confront Zhongshuzhu. His Majesty's demotion to the official position of a minister is not an exaggeration. The minister did this, although he made a small contribution, but it can only be said that he made a contribution. How dare you receive your majesty's favor again? The past has not been far away, and His Majesty wants to reinstate his official position twice, where is the book in the book?

It is not the credit of the ministers alone, the officials on the ground work together, working hard day and night, and there are people who work hard regardless of the four seasons, so that they can get a little result today. His Majesty only bestows the favor of one minister, what face does the minister have? Where does Your Majesty want to be subordinate?

The minister is the courtier of His Majesty, and it is the minister's duty to govern the people in peace. Now that he has made a little merit and rewarded more than 10,000 acres of fertile land at every turn, then His Majesty plans to entitle 500,000 acres of fertile land in the future? How much arable land does the imperial court have to be rewarded like this?

At the beginning of the opening of the polder, I said that this is private land, not official land, and there is a fixed number of hundreds of acres of land, so how can it be granted to official households with private land?

The latter one, somewhat complicated, in addition to private fields, there are also camp fields, official villages, tuntian, school fields, archer fields, horse supervisor pastures, and later there are Cai Jing and others hosted the Xicheng office, some of these fields completely belong to the imperial court land, some belong to the semi-imperial court land, handed over to the peasants to cultivate, normal tax payment, but the court can be recovered at any time. Their main sources are the borderless land at the beginning of the founding of the country, some are the fields that are extinct, the fields without heirs, the abandoned fields, the borderless lands that fled due to disasters, the muddy fields, including the Jiangzhou and the seaflats, the fields that are not nationally owned, the fields cultivated by the border army, and the new fields developed from the wild lands.

Hebei Road is the most, with a total of more than 300,000 mu, and there are very few remote areas such as Lizhou Road and Lingnan Liangguang Road, Kuizhou Road, Zizhou Road, and Fujian Road, more than 40,000 mu, or more than 50,000 mu, and more than 2.3 million mu in the whole country. But the officials were still not satisfied and quarreled with each other. Some were directly annexed outside, and several emperors in the early Northern Song Dynasty were not too mediocre and did not do too much. By the time of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, some corrupt officials often occupied the cultivated land of several counties or even several prefectures.

This also led to a bad consequence, after Zhu Yuanzhang came to power in the Ming Dynasty, he only killed, there was no high salary to support the incorruptible, the Song Dynasty did not raise good officials, and the fragile economy of the Ming Dynasty, so tens of thousands of corrupt officials were killed. As long as the money is good, there are descendants, kill Wang Greed, and Li Greed, kill Li Greed, and Zhang Greed. Didn't kill well.

No solution!

The history of large-scale poldering in the Song Dynasty was launched decades later, and most of them were opened by both official and private households, with one-third of the official families opening the polder and two-thirds of the large households. There are two kinds of official wei, one is like Zheng Lang, which is all handed over to the people to cultivate, and the other is still handed over to the people to cultivate and collect taxes, but it exists in the name of the official wei, that is, the people have the right to use it, but not ownership.

Zheng Lang can exist in the name of Guanwei, or he can hand it over to the people, after all, it is taken from the people, and it is returned to the people, Li Shimin mentioned it hundreds of years ago, and he still mentioned it as a human monarch. In the hands of the people, the state was taxed, and the surname was the same.

There is still a difference, after all, the people of Guanwei do not have ownership, and if they say that they can take it back, then the court can easily reward the meritorious heroes and noble relatives, and there is no difference.

So once the polder was completed, Zheng Lang immediately gave the land deed and granted it to the people.

But there is no doubt about Zhao Zhen's edict, it has not been completed, and it has not been paid to the people, so it can be granted.

Several bigwigs looked at this recital, and they were so angry that they couldn't cry or laugh, are you being humble, or are you deliberately disgusting a few of us again?

Lu Yijian thought about it, yes, let's not provoke you, this is a tug-of-war between you and the emperor, and it has nothing to do with us. Hand the fold to Zhao Zhen.

New Year's Day is coming.

The shopkeeper Yan received a gift from his grandson, which was nothing more than sugar and a quilt, this thing was also spread evilly, I didn't see it, I only said that it was very, very warm, ten times warmer than the quilt. But no one said what it was.

Zheng Lang deliberately brought some and gave them to the students, the New Year is coming, write a letter back home, send some gifts, and say hello to the elders. If you can't even do filial piety, how can you talk about Confucianism?

It was sent back in this case. Not only does the Yan shopkeeper's family have it, but Fan Lu Sima Wang's family has it, the Fan family is a double share, and several other teenagers have no objections, the Fan family has that big Fan, and the family lives a very hard life.

Really speaking, it won't be worth much, a few hundred is enough, but the courtesy is light and affectionate.

Half of the champions of the Song Dynasty eventually became a part of a small group because of this name, and half of them disappeared after entering the official career. Not only did Zheng Lang not disappear, but took the initiative to go to the south, but the limelight in the south was still very strong, and it seemed to be even stronger than the original Sanyuan limelight.

So the shopkeeper Yan is even more grateful.

I don't know how to thank you, return the gift, and what? There are rich people, but they can't send their status, and they can't ask for calligraphy and painting. Yan's shopkeeper's wife said: "Return the Buddha, several of his mothers believe in Buddhism." ”

"The Buddha he believes in is not the Buddha you believe." Shopkeeper Yan said seriously. So he took out 5,000 yuan to buy eight hectares of land and gave it to the poor people, which is exactly what Zhuangyuan Gong did in Jiangnan. But the capital land is too expensive, so you can only buy so much. Another generous gift was given to Zhishu. That's the little half of the master who is the champion.

It's a righteous act.

forced Lu Yijian to be helpless, gave out 1,000 acres of private land, granted it to the poor and helpless people, and told Zhao Zhen that Liu Chu could be transferred back to the capital, and then gave a generous gift to Yu Zhishu.

After Zhao Zhen saw Zheng Langxin, he couldn't cry or laugh.

It is so difficult to give it out by adding an official reward to yourself.

scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, and also came up with a way to let Liu Chu return to Beijing to serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. is just a return, Liu Chu entered the capital, and he will inevitably become a soy sauce player.

Another generous gift was given to Yu Zhi.

I knew that I was so depressed that I didn't want to touch this light, it was too vulgar, so I sold them at a discount, and also bought a piece of land, which was given to the poor people as a good land.

It has become a piece of elegant news.

But more people are paying attention to the book "The New Mean". From the time when it was rumored that Zheng Jiazi was ready to write, three years have passed, and he has not yet been born, which is okay, but Zheng Jiazi has created such a great miracle, relying on only two points, one is "Master's Gewuxue", and the other is the new mean.

The political achievements promote the people's expectations for this book, and this book promotes the magic and justice of the political achievements, I am not using other sideways to govern the state, but using authentic Confucian knowledge to govern, don't bother me.

The main thing is small, otherwise people will ask for Zheng Lang to be further raised.

…… Just when everyone was having a joyful holiday, Zheng Lang returned from the polder with a few students.

The most critical year, the most critical month or two.

The polders need manpower, and the cane sugar brings even more trouble. There is profit, but there is a serious shortage of labor. To carry into the warehouse, to peel, to press, to steam, to drench, to divide the grade, especially rock sugar, this production time is fast, but the efficiency is low, one by one green bamboo cut into sections, and then a section on the thick sugar liquid, not only occupy the space, the production speed is slow. There was no choice but to mobilize the people of the whole state, every household to work out, women to do light work, men to do heavy work, and give super high salaries.

The most bitter thing is the little official and the yaqian, one by one they are so tired that they are about to lie down.

A sum of money was allocated, and a subsidy of 100 yuan was given to each person.

Tired to such an extent, a hundred taels of money is not a big reward.

Zheng Lang has to take the lead himself.

When I came back from the polder, I was so tired that I fell to the bed, and I didn't have the strength to speak.

Cui Xian walked in with a shy belly and complained: "You have worked too hard as an official. ”

"It's good to have two more months, and it won't be so busy again." Zheng Lang said weakly that it was mainly due to the impact of the lack of labor caused by the encirclement of the polder embankment and the affairs of the sugar cane workshop.

By next year, there will be no more enclosures, labor will not be so tight, and everything will enter the normal track of development.

But there is one thing that must also be put on the agenda, that is, the yaqian, according to the previous number of yaqian, not twisted together, the officials continue to run around like this, and whoever goes down for many years will not be able to bear it.

But as soon as he thought of this, Zheng Lang's head hurt faintly.

Then he stared at Cui Xian's stomach again.

Cui Xian said shyly: "There is a concubine." ”

"When?"

"About four months."

"You talked to me weirdly about the kids that day, and the previous nights......"

"Those nights were unorthodox for you, and they had nothing to do with concubines."

"You're cleverly playing again."

"No, your family has been passed down from generation to generation, your father was alone in the previous generation, and there was only your grandfather in the previous generation, and there was an aunt and a concubine, which is also a happy thing for your family."

Don't take it seriously.

Zheng Lang said: "That's okay, for the sake of the child, from today on, you can't sleep with me until you give birth to him." ”

"That's not going to work, he'll protest," Cui Xian patted her stomach. That's my capital.

Zheng Lang wanted to speak, but looking at her thin face, he finally endured it. For more than two years, several wives and concubines have also suffered a lot with themselves, especially Cui Xian.

There are hard work and merit, Taiping Prefecture is politically harmonious, first, the economy is improving, and the people are gradually living a good life, and second, they attach importance to morality, including taking some people's affairs as Lei Feng's praise. It's a bit exaggerated, it's a little mythical, but what's the matter, the people not only need gods to protect their hearts, but they also need living people to be their own examples. It doesn't matter if you have it or not, it's the learning goal that matters. The third is the wife, because even she is running around for the people, and people have more or less a conscience, and the people themselves gradually become conscious.

This year there are so many affairs that if the people exhaust all the officials to death, as they did in the first year, they will not be able to handle the affairs.

Suddenly, there was applause from the front.

Then came Fan Chunyou's shout: "Second brother, what are you doing!"

Zheng Lang walked out and came to the study, and saw Fan Chunren with a piece of rock candy in his mouth, looking at the eldest brother in fear, the eldest brother Fan Chunyou looked angry, and several other teenagers stood awkwardly together, asking, "What happened?" ”

The matter was provoked by Sima Guang, his family was rich and he had no worries about food and clothing, and among the other three, Wang Anshi was a little worse, but he didn't care at all, so he came over. After the arrival of the Fan brothers, Sima Guang was very embarrassed, and it can't be said that the Fan brothers are wrong, they are De Ying, and this kind of frugal life is also a kind of De Ying.

Even when I eat meat dishes, I only eat a little.

Sima Guang was speechless.

There are also some rock candy in the house, Zheng Lang will not be extravagant in life, nor will he be deliberately frugal, it is a very loose one.

Wives and concubines like it, a few young people are not very old, and a few little maids also like it, so at the end of the year, after the sugar workshop came out of the sugar, I bought some back.

Fan Chunyou went out just now, how did Sima Guang and Yan Rong coax it, Fan Chunren will be great in the future, but at this time, he is only a few years old, and he doesn't know a lot, there are always some greedy people, and after a few coaxes, he tasted a piece. It's finally open. Sima Guang and Yan Rong were happy and slapped happily.

It happened that Fan Chunyou came back, and it was hard to say Sima Guang, so he had to reprimand the second brother.

Zheng Lang was happy.

It's like a metaphor, a county is full of corrupt officials, and there is an official who wants to be a good official, but as a result, he will either find a way to drag you into the water, or find your handle to completely suppress you.

But with Sima Guang's participation, Zheng Lang was very vigilant, and said: "Sima Sanlang, Yan Xiaolang, when I was cultivating moderation, what did I say, you are not allowed to exclude dissidents, you must be tolerant, and you must allow different voices and political opinions, have you forgotten?" ”

"Well, Dr. Zheng, we were wrong."

"It's not wrong, once you have the current thoughts, it's terrible, and the anger I have repeatedly said will appear in you, and you are talented, and the danger is even greater."

"Whoa."

"This is the family style of the Fan family, you and I can't do it, but we can't oppose others to do it. It is this kind of virtue that can purify people's hearts. ”

"Whoa."

"But Fan Dalangjun, don't scold Erlangjun, he's still young, it's very good to be able to do this."

"Don't take evil as small, don't do it through good."

"Yes, but as long as you enjoy it in your own category, it's not excessive," Zheng Lang scratched his head, no matter how he said it, his reasons didn't seem to be sufficient, and said: "Virtue is important, it is important to have a lofty heart of loyalty to the country and love the people, and it is even more important to have the means to govern the country." Since your father has entrusted you to me and taught you virtue, I am afraid that I will not be able to compare with your father. ”

Speaking of this, I couldn't help wiping a handful of sweat, I really didn't dare to compare, the gap was almost a world of difference.

"If you want to learn virtue, it's better to follow your father, what I can teach you is not this mind. In terms of being big-hearted, I am not as far as your father. "Wipe the cold sweat again, you are the first in three hundred years, what do I compare with you, and continue: "What I can teach you is learning, and this method. Today's events have been revealed, don't mention it, you study together, if you have a dirty problem for this matter, it is not what I think. ”

"Whoa."

And the mud went down.

Cui Xian also walked in and said: "Fan Yan for a few hundred taels of silver, let the world laugh, you are the same door, can you make the world laugh for a piece of rock candy, is it worth it?" ”

"Whoa."

But when the husband and wife went out, they both shook their heads relatively together, the two of them can endure hardships and are talented, and they think they are good, but compared with others, they are too far behind.

Cui Xian sighed and said, "The concubine finally understands why you played "White Snow" twice for Fan Zhongyan, so many people are willing to be his friends." ”

It's time for the New Year.

The most lively year, as long as you are not lazy, this is a good year full of harvests.

But at this time, someone from Wuhu reported that it was Wang County, who was tired and fainted.

Wei is mainly in Wuhu, the sugar workshop is also in Wuhu, and later the brocade rust garden was changed to the brocade rust supervisor, cotton products and silk fabrics together with the brocade rust supervisor management and operation, otherwise they will be pulled by each other, so that they can be clear about their respective tasks, and the accounts can also be clear.

Wang County Ling also felt honored, in another year, let me ask, the entire Song Dynasty can have a few counties comparable to his own county, have faith, work harder. is so tired that the whole person is about to deform, Zheng Lang wants to persuade him, but he can't persuade him.

However, his body was severely overloaded, and while he was dealing with official business in the court, he suddenly fainted.

is not as dangerous as Zhao Zhen, and the doctor will rescue him, but he has repeatedly told him that he can't be tired anymore, and it is inevitable that he will not rest and live a short life, and it is very likely that he will faint again, and his life will be in danger.

Zheng Lang had no choice but to come to Wuhu.

Don't want to spend the New Year in Taipingzhou City, I rented a house in the sugar factory, brought my family over, and not only took over state affairs, but also county affairs. How can that be? Several elementary school students assisted in dealing with it, but they couldn't keep up.

Wang Xianling got up anxiously and asked for help.

Let Zheng Lang stop it, looked at Wang Zhixian's thin body, and said pityingly: "You recuperate first, I just took this opportunity to do one thing." ”

Then the order was issued, not the Taiping Prefecture in the past, what the officials were tired of, you also saw it. From today onwards, the number of officers will be expanded to assist the government in handling government affairs. This is necessary, but the next step is not right, and all the fifth- and sixth-class households will be dragged into the errand service elsewhere. Even Henan is the political center of the country, and some peasants dare not build houses or raise cattle. I have nothing, not the fourth, not the fifth, not the sixth, you can't let me do the service.

In some remote places, old people in their seventies and eighties still wear children's hair, I am a young man, a child of a few years old, don't ask why I look so old, I have a hard life, I am declining before I am old, don't conscript me as a servant.

Bad so.

But I started with a fourth-class household, what is a fourth-class household, that is, the whole family is self-cultivated, and there is no need to rent other people's fields. Generally, there are more than 30 acres of cultivated land, which can be called a fourth-class household. But it also depends on the fact that if you live in a barren mountainous area, sometimes fifty or sixty acres of land cannot protect yourself.

However, Taiping Prefecture is a special case, even if it is the disaster victims, with sugarcane, immediately there is cotton, and the profits of ditches and slopes are all vacated, the tax collection is low, the government encourages the raising of cattle, and the people in the city enclose the land, and the money comes. The proportion of fourth-class households and above is particularly large, and it is still the kind of indisputable fourth-class households.

From the end of the year, a group of people poured in, more than 47,000 households, 26,000 fourth-class people, absolute fourth-class people! By the end of next year, it is very likely that there will be another seven or eight thousand households.

All of these fourth-class households were conscripted into the army.

Several county commanders can't laugh or cry, our Taiping Prefecture is good now, but do we need more than 26,000 people to serve?

All the people were dumbfounded together, this was undoubtedly an earth-shattering thunderbolt.

If you are in the errand service, it is equivalent to AIDS, peerless Gu poison, and it is over.

A state order goes down, and the joy of the New Year is forgotten together, all like mourning. So they joined forces and came over together to ask, Zhizhou, you are a good official, you can't play like this, my family has more than 60 acres of land, and I am usually tired half to death, you levy a messenger to go over, and my family can only wait for the defeat to destroy the family.

Zheng Lang asked rhetorically: "If you don't levy errand labor, if you go on like this, which official can afford it?" ”

"Use money to replace the service, so many first, second, third, and fourth class households, levied a levy, there will be enough economic employment and servant ......" turned this topic out again.

"No, the imperial court does not have this system." Zheng Lang refused.

On the other hand, Wang Zhixian is letting go, you jointly wrote a letter to show your difficulties to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch, and you will definitely be accommodating. As long as His Majesty agrees, Zheng Zhizhou will definitely come up with a fair way.

Everyone thinks about it, take a look, what happened to the court for the sake of the disaster victims?

Join together to sign, and do not sign by fingerprint.

This letter is very long, the content is not much, for this matter has been discussed for a long time, according to the one, two, three, four and other households to levy exemption money, and then the state government hires idlers to serve as the front of the government, such a powerful contribution, can also get some rewards to support the family, the rich contribute, do not miss the affairs of the family.

But unlike Wang Anshi's change, he only said that he was waiting for the household, but Wang Anshi's change was absolutely fair, and a person with a hundred yuan paid one yuan a year for exemption money, then a person with 10 million yuan must pay 100,000 yuan for exemption.

The big families are in a hurry.

The facts have to do this, but in this world, who dares to say that it is absolutely fair? These big families are hungry wolves that can't be fed, it's possible to let them pluck a few hairs, if you want them to get rid of their hungry teeth, can you not be desperate? Wang Anshi is ignorant and fearless, does Zheng Lang dare? Not only will it not succeed, but it will be bitten very badly.

There were almost 40,000 households with their fingerprints and signatures, which also represented the will of the people, and then a long joint letter was handed to the capital.

The New Year was not quiet either, and continued to be busy.

But there was no New Year's atmosphere, Zheng Lang was uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of impact this 10,000 handprint book would have after it arrived at the imperial court.

He also wanted to do another thing, the brocade rust supervisor for the convenience of management, the silk weaving and cotton textile industry together, this is also a Thomas. There is nothing wrong with it, it was called a workshop in the Song Dynasty, and it was called a factory in later generations, the bigger the better. And using the assembly line production by themselves, the craftsman does not realize it, but only feels that the speed is fast and smooth, but the efficiency is improving invisibly.

In a sense, there are some prototypes of later factories.

But what was handed over to the imperial court for management, Zheng Lang just didn't feel at ease, there were corrupt officials and officials, and there were people who pursued political achievements, anything could happen, and even oppressed the people. That's not what he meant to be.

While thinking about this, Huang Zhijun and Ma Zhizhou came together.

I was cornered and came over.

was "bewitched" by Zheng Lang, thinking that it was right to hand over the polders to the poor people, and to hand them over to the poor people, they could also exchange arable land for labor. What else should I do? There's no way they can conjure up a new city and win the support of big families.

So I used tough means to encircle the polder, but there were not many circles, and there were more than a dozen private polders, but this was the beginning, and it would affect myself sooner or later. From top to bottom in the two states, as long as there are private people, all oppose it.

When it came to the capital, Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian didn't know what to do. It just so happened that Gao Ruone and Wang Zhaoming brought some of Zheng Lang's words and the mean over and became a reference.

The two Zhizhou did not do it right, and it was too barbaric.

Even if there is less compensation, it can be justified, this harshness has not set a bad precedent, first the private wei, then the field, that family does not have it, the Wang family has it, the Lu family has it, will it be the same harsh?

But I can't say it, this is for the sake of the imperial court's taxation and for the imperial court to reduce the poor people.

Therefore we should not see if you are making trouble below.

The two governors were also helpless, and the bows they opened had no arrows to turn back, and they no longer moved, and all the people flowed to Taiping Prefecture. Look at the Guangde Army, which began to write to the imperial court to fight a lawsuit with Taiping Prefecture, and the population was lost too much.

But most of the people are mountainous, and the terrain of Taiping Prefecture is similar, how can you say it?

had to forcibly lead the people to continue the encirclement. And the labor is insufficient, at the end of August began to circle, from the high circle, in the winter circle low, the field is not as much as that of Taiping Prefecture, less than five people 30 acres of land, more than 40 acres of land, or more labor out of 5 acres.

It is also good, the current Taiping Prefecture also only has 30 acres of land, and it is impossible to be 50 acres, 60 acres and 70 acres like before.

United, the polder was finally encircled.

But a new problem came, and last year it was discovered that there were no ploughing cattle, no farming tools, and even no surplus grain, so I asked the imperial court for support. Zhongshu's reply is very simple, support is okay, tax exemption this year, but you must ensure that like Taiping Prefecture, you will make up for the losses brought to the imperial court several times the tax exemption in the future.

How is this possible?

The two governors are still puzzled, we worked hard, and we also went into battle shirtless, and personally sat on the polder, why didn't Zhongshu support it, and secretly expressed its opposition?

When the New Year came, the two did the same, and they also kept correspondence, discussed it, and came to Taiping Prefecture again. But it came in time, and it didn't take long for the new edict of the imperial court to be issued, preventing the governors and counties from "wandering around" each other.

said the difficulties, and then said: "In the middle of the book, there is a warlord Lu Yijian in charge, and he will bring disaster to the country and the people, so he will probably not support us." had to ask Zheng Zhizhou for help. ”

I was not satisfied with the Chinese book, but I didn't dare to scold Wang Zeng, Wang Zeng was a minister, who was a loyal minister, so I had to scold Lu Yijian.

But they also didn't think about why Zhongshu was faintly opposed. Instead of being a loyal minister and a minister, is Sun Zheng a loyal minister, is he a loyal elder, is he a learned person, why does he oppose Li Zhi's change of tea law?

Zheng Lang spread his hands and said, "How can I help you?" ”

"The first central government asks you to give us some cane seeds and cotton seeds, and then send someone to teach some techniques."

"You can plant cane, and you can also teach technology," Zheng Lang replied without hesitation, but the other vetoed, saying: "I don't have enough cotton seeds this year, how can I give them to you?" ”

"We don't understand this, if Zheng Zhizhou sends someone to ride a horse to Fujian Road, quickly buy it back, the southeast wind rises, hire a boat to get to Taiping Prefecture soon, just in time for the February and half cultivation season."

The two of them had already made a careful analysis on the road.

Zheng Lang was speechless and asked, "So what is the second one?" ”

"Can you lend us 100,000 yuan, and let the farmers repay you after the autumn," said the two of them with a look of frustration, if they have enough money in their hands, it is still very good, not only do they do favors, but they can also make some money after the autumn.

However, Zheng Lang jumped up and said, "Do you want to harm me?" ”

Tossing in Taiping State, it is to make your own achievements, otherwise you can't spend money so casually. If you lend money to other states, it is undoubtedly called Shuen. This was also a taboo in the Song Dynasty. The precedent can be modeled on An Lushan!

As long as you dare to borrow it, you can wait for bad luck immediately, and Fan Zhongyan, who may gradually evolve into a perfect scholar, will also be impeached.

"We also know it's hard. But Zheng Zhizhou is very talented, and he will definitely come up with a workaround, for the sake of us being sincere for the people, help us with this. ”

Lao Tzu has also become a god!

Zheng Lang almost erupted with anger, but seeing the panic on the faces of the two of them, he finally felt a little unbearable.

Their intentions are still good, but the method is not right, so they have today's end. It is very likely that Wang Zeng and Lü Yijian deliberately pushed them into the fire pit to punish them for their audacity in disguise. Not only them, but in the process of fighting with the Tangut people in history, some generals took out money to reward the soldiers in order to stimulate the soldiers to fight. The reason is similar, they can't be allowed to build personal favors, or offend big families, or disobey the wishes of the Chinese book to seek peace.

His tone softened, and he said, "You sit down first and let me think about it." ”

Just as Lu Erlang came in to report: "Zheng Zhizhou, the merchants are asking for rock sugar, but the rock candy is made slowly and occupies a lot of space, what should I do?" ”

The workshop kept the price of rock sugar very low, taking into account the profits.

However, the habit that the Song people have developed over the years is that sugar is far cheaper than frosting. Therefore, the merchants sold rock candy at a sky-high price, and it is said that some places can sell it for three or four hundred wen into a catty, and some simply sell it on the basis of strips, which is more expensive. But the people would rather buy ridiculously expensive rock sugar than snow-white sugar.

This kind of profit is almost four, five, six, and the profit of killing is there.

If it weren't for the lack of manpower, some merchants would have asked the workshop to make rock sugar and brown sugar for sale. Some chickens are insufficient, so they collect chickens at high prices everywhere in Taiping Prefecture, and even go to neighboring states to buy them, resulting in a three- or four-fold increase in the price of chickens. But after this turmoil, it is estimated that every household will raise dozens more chickens this year to produce chickens. The trend of the entire market is not even grasped by Zheng Lang.

It's a mess.

Zheng Lang frowned and said, "Tell them to complete their requirements to the greatest extent, but they can't complete it, and they can't force it." Don't forget that now we are the missing party, and it is they who ask us, not us. ”

"Whoa." Lu Erlang answered.

In fact, there are a lot of people, but they are not skilled one by one, and they let them divide the labor, but the speed still can't keep up. As for the venue, it is easy to solve, and if you squeeze it in each family, there will be a venue.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and an idea came to mind.

But then he shook his head and said to himself: "You can't be impulsive, you can't be impulsive." ”

Impulse is also a devil, this matter is too big, bigger than the exemption law, I never thought about it before, although I will immediately solve the difficulties for Huang Zhijun and Ma Zhizhou, the consequences are not what I can bear.
