Chapter 243: The Trumpet
Zheng Lang walked home, not very far, just walked all the way, there were mulberry and acacia on both sides of the street, green shadows, white walls and green eaves, and the people greeted him warmly, which gave him a sense of fulfillment. Autumn is deep, a yellow leaf flies down with the wind, the trees rustle and cry, and the green shadow is unconsciously dyed with a pale yellow.
It is still the vicissitudes of life made by the cloth shoes stepping on the bluestone slab.
But today there are many more people who ask.
The news spread quickly.
A group of officials walked out, busy writing notices, and sending people to measure, as if the wind was blowing, and this beautiful town in the south of the Yangtze River learned the news.
Zheng Lang nodded on his forehead.
At this point, there is no need to hide it anymore.
When he returned home, the gentle Jiang Xinger brought hot water for him to wipe his face.
Four teenagers gathered around and asked nervously, "Doctor Zheng, how is it?" ”
"What do you say?"
"Yay," they jumped together with joy.
There are also their credits in the middle, they participated in it many times, discussed it with Zheng Lang, and also put forward some important suggestions, so that Zheng Lang improved all the details step by step.
This kind of education method is very perverted, so much so that in a brief letter to Lu Yi, Lu Sanshu wrote a sentence that only educating this son is far better than being a prince. In terms of teaching children alone, although you are the prime minister, you are not as good as the Zheng family.
Even a few people thought of the countless consequences, and what they said today is only a part. And there's more. The two polders were drawn, big, so big, after Wang Xianling read it, he couldn't even speak clearly, but he didn't think that if he distributed it like this, he wouldn't actually arrange many people.
Compensation and the original polder, two polder farmers, such a large polder must have a bazaar, some shops, and some workshops will appear in the future, plug a plug, four or five thousand households of people settle down. But the real cultivators can only arrange 2,000 or a few hundred households.
I don't know how many people in Taiping Prefecture are really lacking land, Zheng Lang estimates that there are 30,000 households, at least 5,000 households are full of desire for land, and then 5,000 non-agricultural households, 5,000 main households, and 15,000 households are also eager for land.
How many people will be involved, Zheng Lang doesn't know.
Those who cannot settle the migrant workers by relying on the two weis will have to pay their workers next year. Once the workers are paid to work, the financial pressure on Taiping State will be very great. But Zheng Lang didn't say it, no matter what, first repair the two wei, see the results, support from top to bottom, and it will be easy to do next year. As for his suggestion that he would ask the imperial court to arrange for displaced people to come over next year, it was half a prevarication. Not next year, not even the year after. There will be displaced people coming, and these people will have land together, and what should the big lord do, so he has to invite floating guests to come.
Not only large households, for example, in the future, a rural household will be dominated by six or seven people, one or two elderly people, two husband and wife, and three or two children. There are very few people who live in the same house for four generations, although they marry early, people are too hard-working, and their life spans are short. Just like a cow, a well-raised cow can have a lifespan of 40 years, and a cow can live for more than 20 years now, which is considered good. Fifty acres of land, plus the labor of the husband and wife, can get more than seventy acres. In the Song Dynasty, except for the western and southern regions, slash-and-burn cultivation was adopted, and agriculture in the east and north began to develop, and rough cultivation gradually disappeared, and most of them were intensive cultivation.
It's more than 70 acres of land, what will a family look like? Mulberry hemp is a must, there is no time to turn them into fine silk weaving. Then as long as you guide yourself, you will have a big workshop. If a large port appears, how many people from all walks of life will be needed. It was these workshops and all kinds of hired laborers and tenants in the city who needed the displaced people. Thousands of hectares of land have been reclaimed one after another, and the local people will be saturated later, and sooner or later they will ask the imperial court to relocate a batch.
What does the rest have to do with yourself.
I didn't say any of this today, but at home, I had a deep discussion with a few students.
Even if there are seven or eight thousand households participating, only two thousand households can be arranged, and what about the rest?
A Wan Chunwei in history will not be too sensational, if he plays like this, there will be many things. The great era has come, but if one is not arranged well, it will cause many things.
Zheng Lang looked at them and just smiled.
People have been together for a long time, and they always have feelings.
He said gently: "Go back and study with peace of mind, and I will repair my book next year." ”
This year, there are not many affairs, but the only thing that is busy is to inspect and make plans. It will not be until next year that there will be a lot of problems, and there will inevitably be affairs that will not be handled well. By doing practical things to reflect, to clarify and improve the thoughts in the heart, the theory of the golden mean will be more perfect.
Then to the three. If you want to cultivate moderation, you should leave not three points, even benevolence, wisdom, and forgiveness, and three points is an important theme.
The three points were preliminarily repaired, and Sima Guang and Lu Gong wrote the scientific expedition.
After a few years of careful polishing, Sima Guang and Lu Gongshu will become of it, he is looking forward to it.
The fiercest tiger has to be taught for a few more years, and he is young. But he thought of a question, in another twenty years, all three of them will grow up, what will happen? Will you be like a tiger? Thinking of repairing the book, I thought of the book that Lu Gongshu sent back.
…… The book had been printed, and Shi Jie was so angry that he spurted blood.
He wanted to distinguish, Shi Congguang arched his hand and said: "It has nothing to do with me, if you distinguish it, I will bring the words to Zheng Zhizhou." ”
I don't have the ability to quarrel with you.
After the spread of the news, it brought many negative effects to Shi Jie, and in order to avoid the holy favor, people took the initiative to run to the south of the Yangtze River, how far is it from the capital, and what is the purpose of offering a few weapons? Students with a little knowledge and foresight even saw the disaster of the temple, there were many believers, and then used the method of pretending to be a god to deceive the people, which is also called releasing the elderly?
The champion did the right thing in this matter.
You, Shi Jie, are purely vexatious.
In the past, you have always opposed Shi Lao, and have written several articles to argue for this, the two are the same, why do you want to fight the champion? What a domineering Ishisuke!
There are also people who have two ideas, for example, Ouyang Xiu thinks that Shi Jie's impeachment of Zheng Lang is vexatious, but Zheng Lang is not doing it right, it is okay to refute it on the facts, but you are good, the emperor is good, the first emperor of the ages, what is it, you are a young man, how do you know how it is good?
Loyalty is good, you can't be so loyal to the law, even a good emperor will let you boast to the end. Shi Jie's appropriate advice is right, not wrong. You actually used a big hat to press, it's your father, it's a human king, you can't say. Without the advice of his direct ministers, what would the emperor develop in the end? Others don't know, you are deeply educated, you should know what Zhang Jiuling degraded from the imperial court, and what Li Longji has become?
That's where the two think differently.
Zheng Lang didn't admonish?
Most of the conversations in the palace Yan Wen should have been recorded, but there are no major shortcomings, why bother dragging the dragon robe, slapping the table, pounding the palace door to admonish, enlightening and comforting. You can't make something out of nothing, and you can make something out of nothing for Huang Yanjing, so what about people with different political views?
Anyway, Ouyang Xiu and some other gentlemen didn't think about it at all, thinking that Shi Jie's advice to the emperor must be right, Zheng Lang refuted that it was wrong, that the emperor had to keep admonishing and chanting scriptures in his ear.
This reason...... Soon after, this "Mr. Sanyuan Answer" was printed, and there was no word or number, so I had to use a Mr. Sanyuan.
It was almost sold out, and even Zhao Zhen took out dozens of dollars to buy a copy and came back to read it.
The treasury was tight, and it was not easy for him to think of taking out dozens of dollars to spend it. Once he went to the temple to incense, looked at it, yes, I rewarded, the great monks were very happy to hear it, how many things the emperor would reward for the reward, in front of him a bundle of exquisite silk, a spindle of gold and silver shining brightly. As a result, the reward came out, five cents, and all the monks in the temple almost fell to the ground.
It's hard to say whether this book has other people's appetites, but it's right to Zhao Zhen's appetites.
Said: "What a book." ”
did not say anything to Yan Wenying about Shang Yang's second daughter, and Zhao Zhen gradually became estranged from Yan Wenying.
Ordinary scholars and the people also like it after watching it, what the people value is a lot of fun things, it turns out that Zheng Zhuangyuan has so many interesting things, and he feels that the distance has been shortened all of a sudden. The scholar looked at his views on politics and attitudes towards learning and learning.
Some people don't think so, the anger has been born, and Zheng Lang can't suppress it. The country is about to get terminally ill, and how can it use this gentle and slow approach to get the country back on the normal track?
But was the Song Dynasty really sick and blind?
As long as there is a business horse pulling the horse, the Song Dynasty can still run forward in a heavy way. Once the carriage is broken apart, no horse can run any horse.
It's also a race.
As long as Zheng Lang has rapid political achievements and produces a group of followers, as long as there is a perfect book theory and produces a group of "believers", under his leadership, the Song Dynasty can let the "moderates" gain the upper hand and quietly reform and improve from all aspects.
Either he will be crushed to pieces by the Conservatives and the Radicals.
At present, there is no obvious gap between the three factions, and they cannot see it, nor are they in a hurry. At this time, a "small matter" happened in the capital.
Pang impeached two people.
First of all, Wang Huaide begged to manage the army with private goods, so he sat his brother Wang Huaijie as the general of Zuo Xiaowei. The handling is not heavy, mainly depends on the face of his father Wang Jizhong, Wang Jizhong was a servant of Song Zhenzong's mansion, and later Song Zhenzong was the emperor, let him be a general, met the Khitan army at the border, was besieged by tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers, fought several times, and died left and right, so he was captured. Seeing that he was very heroic, the Khitans treated him well. In the end, Yang Ye's spirit and bones were lacking, and like Li Ling, he succumbed to the Khitans.
But unlike Tian Chenghe, he led the Khitan to attack the Song Dynasty without surrendering to the Khitan, and used his own advantages to always persuade the Khitan nobles to make peace with the Song Dynasty in the Khitan. The envoys of the Song Dynasty also expressed their condolences to him many times. So it invisibly became an important bridge for peace between the Khitan and the Song Dynasty.
However, this incident announced that another thing had happened, it was Shang Meiren who was kicked out of the palace, and someone reported the matter. Someone else reported another matter to Pang Ji, when Fan Yan was the third envoy, he first used the excuse of having a good supervision to apply for a promotion for Wu Code, the supervisor of the Zuozang Treasury, which was also within the scope of Fan Yan's authority. But the next thing happened strangely, Fan Wei took out a beautiful silver saddle to bribe Wu Code.
One is a small warehouse keeper, and the other is a national planner, the gap is so big, how did Fan Yan do it?
For a reason, Wu Code's own position is small, but his son-in-law is Shang Meiren's half-brother.!
Came around.
Pang Ji carefully traced it, this silver saddle cost Fan Yan a lot of money, and his flesh hurt when he left the capital, so he used his power to take the various utensils made of gold and silver in the Hanlin Academy, and rolled some of them, which may be worth thousands of taels of silver, and may be worth hundreds of taels of silver. I have been a three-division envoy for a long time, and my mind is economically flexible, and I took it away from the capital until Qizhou, and it is said that there is a slight difference in the price of gold and silver between the two places, and I can earn a little more money for the difference.
After Pang Ji received the news, he did not get angry, but laughed wildly for most of the day.
Grandma's, Fan Sarcas, you hit the tofu and die!
If it is a big plan, the annual salary plus subsidies can reach tens of thousands of dollars, bribing subordinates who are too small to be smaller, and also swept away the utensils of the Hanlin Academy, which are hundreds of taels of silver, and actually sold them in Qizhou, and then earned a few taels of price difference. Why didn't you die earlier, the face of the entire Great Song Dynasty officials has made you lose your face.
Start writing.
The embezzlement case of a few hundred taels of silver could not be smaller, but this incident finally turned into a big matter.
What's even funnier is Lu Yijian, first with seven wounds, and then with the magic of the wedding dress.
…… Zheng Lang sometimes thinks about all kinds of things happening in the capital, and he is also angry and funny.
There is also no time to think.
First of all, all the big families came over together, crying bitterly, we were wrong. It's definitely not okay to be reasonable, Zheng Lang has warned many times, from the truth, it's good for you, almost said it clearly, if you don't listen, how can you blame others?
What a loss!
Spread evenly, each family will lose at least 30% of their farm property.
They didn't dare to make trouble, and there was a big scene waiting for them in another place, and there was a loss over there. Besides, Zheng Lang's back is not something they can afford to provoke, and the poor people below will not agree.
had to beg Zheng Lang, some people hid a lot, and at this time their intestines were all blue.
Zheng Lang and Yan Yuese, don't say that people are greedy, there is no one who is not greedy, Shi Jie is greedy, greedy for fame, he is greedy, greedy for learning. These people are greedy, greedy for wealth.
He said gently: "Ladies and gentlemen, my family also has fields and industries, and the fields are getting less and less, but the wealth is increasing. If I didn't have the wealth of my family, I might have been extravagant and wasteful, and my salary would have been beyond the means. ”
Everyone can't say that the so-called extravagance and waste have allowed Zheng Lang to invest in the construction of Taiping Prefecture for free, or to fund the people.
But you are the champion of the prince, the representative of the gentleman, and you will soon be a saint, we are just ordinary people, it is not easy to compare.
Zheng Lang said again: "Why is my family's land getting less and less, but wealth increasing? Ladies and gentlemen, take a long-term view, don't stare at the sesame seeds, you can't see the big melon on the side. Believe me one more time, it's your best chance, probably the last chance. If you don't, you'll be eliminated in a few years. ”
Knowing what Zheng Lang was referring to, but not seeing it, it was like a gamble, and everyone was suspicious in their hearts.
"Go ahead, you really only get one chance." After speaking, Zheng Lang asked people to kick them out.
They couldn't see it, someone in the family saw it, and Yan Rong said, "Doctor Zheng, can I write a letter and go home......
"No way!" Zheng Lang replied.
"Let my uncle and third uncle ......"
"No, you don't know how terrible some people are. The four of you, including my family, don't get involved, or there will be no trouble. "Especially when he is in office, the Shi family can invest, Zhao Tongju can invest, Zhao Tongju will not pay much attention, Shi Congguang is just a doorman, and his remarks are better.
If these sons are going to enter the official career eventually, then it will inevitably have an impact.
It's not worth it for the Yan family to make this little money.
Some big households continue to think about it, and some big ones start to do it.
There were quarrels every day, and Wang Zhixian was bombed by the quarrel, so he had to ask Zheng Lang for help.
I had no choice but to go to Wuhu County and give them some orders, not to buy and sell by force, including land and building materials, and everything must be voluntary. Do not act arbitrarily, do not defraud others, do not bully foreign investors, do not bully the market, do not gather crowds to make trouble, fight and brawl, otherwise it will be severely punished in the end, just like the six tigers of the Zhang family.
However, each family is encouraged to hire smart craftsmen from all over the country to come over, and if a well-known commodity is created, whether it is copper, iron, linen, ceramics, medicinal leather, as long as they are in office, they will be given tax incentives, divided into several levels, and the discounts will be one to three percent.
This is to encourage the creation of brands, as well as the development of technology.
It's so invisible that almost no one values it, but it won't be a few years before everyone cries again...... He hurriedly returned to the city of Taipingzhou and issued an order, only 8,000 households, if you add women, or many brothers, father and son are all in the prime of life, together with 20,000 laborers, it is enough. Anyway, it's not an outsider, and it's very convenient to eat and dress close to everyone's house. Don't dare to take more. There were too many people involved, which made Zheng Lang afraid. If one or two thousand households participate, they will not be able to pay enough polders to develop the entire lake in Taiping Prefecture by themselves.
As soon as the quota came out, it became even more tense.
The three counties and county officials made the people squeeze their heads.
In the middle of October, construction finally began.
First of all, the weeds were removed, and this project did not require much labor, and only 5,000 people were needed for the two weirs.
Zheng Lang led the officials to Jingshan together, had to make an appearance, planted a flag, led a group of officials by himself, cut a few grass, shoveled a few pieces of mud with a shovel, and put a few firecrackers, the ceremony was over, and the work started.
In October, he also brought a few sons and a few wives and concubines. In the future, they will also play a role, teaching people to weave silk and can talk to some women on their behalf.
Sitting on the boat, Zheng Lang watched Jingshan get closer and closer, and suddenly turned his head to Cui Xian and said, "Cui Xian, I'll give you a couplet." ”
"Okay."
"There are five monkeys in Akiyama, respect the monkey king, and who monkey does the four monkeys like?" was ridiculing that he was in Caizhou at the beginning, Cui Xian said that he, Jiang Xing'er, and Si'er were three big horse monkeys who swaggered through the market. Originally, I wanted to say that the four monkeys were monkeys, but it was too light and thin, so I changed it to a monkey who likes it.
Cui Xian thought for a moment and replied: "The winter lake leaves the sad geese, leaves the flock of geese, and the lonely geese cry He Yan." ”
Hearing this couplet, Jiang Xing'er lowered her head and giggled.
Zheng Lang was speechless, so he had to say to Jiang Xing'er: "Don't laugh, it's cold, when I go back, you and Si'er will warm my bed for me." As for others, hum, don't think about it. ”
So Cui Xian pinched his waist hard, and Zheng Lang ignored her. After making trouble for a while, at the foot of Jing Mountain, there were many black and oppressive people, simple rituals, saving money, and throwing a shovel of mud to the water's edge. The construction of the first and second large wei in history officially began under such a simple ceremony.
Zhao Tongju affectionately stroked the soil around him and said, "The big boat has finally been launched. ”
Zheng Lang was silent, watching the people work, startled a chaos, and then flew to the end of the sky, the sky was white and white, and the sky was blue.
