"What's the solution?" Cui Xian asked.

"Yin Shilu."

Hearing these three words, Cui Xian didn't ask, it had nothing to do with Zheng Lang's theory, it was true that Jia Changchao went too far, changed the topic, and said, "The concubine is still worried about Pang Ji." ”

"This person is not clean-minded, but he is not like Jia Changchao, he has always done things in a measured manner." Zheng Lang said. Regarding the evaluation of Pang Ji, Zheng Lang regarded him as a little Lu Yijian, not only is he young, but he is not as powerful as Lu Yijian, and his ability to govern is slightly worse than that of Lu Yijian, and he is a real miniature version of Lu Yijian. However, there is a common characteristic, which is that they are more knowledgeable, pragmatic in their governance, and not rash. Virtue is perhaps not so noble, nor so vile and shameless.

The next day, Zheng Lang was afraid that the people in the family would not let go, after all, there was no eldest lady to preside, and the three mothers and four mothers were in charge of this housework, and some places were really lacking. came to the pond in person, asked Xiao Lao Er's original area, and then stroked his hand to shrink the area of his lotus pond by more than half.

As for asking for this benefit?

It is better to carefully manage one's own vocational land, more than 1,000 acres of land, far greater than the benefits brought by these two or three hundred acres of land.

Zheng Laosan said ashamedly: "Xianggong, no." ”

Zheng Lang let it go together, and it became easy to divide it.

In fact, Zheng Lang and Cui Xian did this, not for the sake of much benefit, but to convey a theory, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft the water, but he didn't say it directly. The most developed areas of agriculture, textiles, and other handicrafts in the country are still Hebei, Shandong, and Henan, but in terms of the degree of intensive cultivation, they have gradually lagged behind the two Zhejiangs, and immediately Jiangdong will rise up and flourish in the north. That is the most magnificent poem, fighting for fields with mountains, with the sea, with rivers, and with lakes.

However, Zheng Lang did not want to over-cultivate in the north.

Originally, the soil and water were very weak, and if they were over-cultivated, the damage to the soil and water would be even more serious.

Then life returned to quietness. Gradually, the harvest began.

The growth of the sorghum in those few plots of land is more gratifying, and there are some fruit trees on the mountain, which are carried late and survive. But there was no fruit, in addition to these fruit trees, there were some pine firs, the pine fir was loaded early, although it did not become mature, but one by one it grew very well, and the two earth mountains became very orderly. Instead of being as disorganized as it was.

There are also a lot of people who come to see, and now the way of planting sorghum is very backward, dig a small pit, sprinkle a few sorghum seeds, cover it with grass ash and manure, and grow into whatever it can become. Some can be squeezed together by six or seven sorghums. The density is there, but the benefits can't keep up. The spikes of knots are small. The density of these sorghum plots of the Zheng family is not very large, one is one tree, but the nutrient bowl is transplanted. It also uses a lot of fertilizer, and compared with other sorghum, it is like a small giant.

The simple truth is still understood, if you want good crops, at least you have to plant good seeds.

I heard that Zheng Lang distributed these sorghum seeds to everyone, and more people watched it, and many people were guessing its yield.

Fan Yue'er was also guessing and asked, "Zheng Xianggong, how much can it collect?" ”

"It's better than other fields, but it's sorghum in the end. How much can I receive? If you want a high yield, you can only have rice. "No matter how you choose, without the technology of later generations, this evolution time is also very slow. Of course, if you keep going like this, you will have thirty or forty years. Not only rice, wheat, and sorghum will all produce qualitative evolution. But in this era, there are still many acquired conditions that can't keep up, first of all, there are no chemical fertilizers, second, there are no pesticides, fertility can't keep up, there are pests, and there is no good way to deal with them, so we can't expect the emergence of high-yield fields with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, even if it is rice.

When I returned home, I received a letter from Zhang Kang, which put forward a condition.

Zheng Lang looked at it, did not hesitate, and immediately agreed.

The people take food as the sky, and a few pieces of sorghum land at home have aroused strong interest among the surrounding people, but Zheng Lang's mind is still in the north. This battle will lay the cornerstone of the political situation of the three countries in the future.

……

The edict went to Pang Ji's hand first, and when he read the edict, his head immediately turned. …,

At the beginning, he was the first to advocate peace, not that he was a capitulation faction, and other people might be surrender factions, but Pang Ji was not, and it can only be said that he was conservative in military thinking. He looked at the situation, the country's finances were tight, and he couldn't turn around, and several bigwigs in the DPRK and China were eager to make peace. That's why it was decided to negotiate peace with Western Xia.

In the second year, there was a drought everywhere, but he was relieved, although it was political speculation, he was afraid that Han Qi and Fan Zhong would drown his pigtails and not let go. As a result, there was a battle in the court, and his speculation was rewarded, although he was the last among the four major heroes, he finally got a deputy minister.

This time and that time.

At this time, it is no longer possible to sue for peace, the main peace faction is Yan Shu, and Jia Changchao opposes the presumptuous sending of troops, but it is not the main peace faction. Soft, afraid of death, but also put forward a few admonitions, saying that the alliance and division, let the emperor send envoys to Tubo, the Western Regions, the northeast and the northwest, so that the Tubo, Uighurs and Divination, Goryeo, Jurchen will have turmoil, and the Song Dynasty will sit on the side and watch the play.

But this is a partial dispatch, borrowed in the name of the Khitans. Jia Changchao may be opposed, not because of the proposal itself, but by Zheng Lang......

The emperor's movements, from the edict, he smelled that the emperor also wanted to make a little benefit, after all, the emperor was somewhat unwilling to give 200,000 yuan this year. The emperor's movements are the most important.

He also saw some shadows of Zheng Lang in the edict, and he had no good impression of Zheng Lang, nor did he have any disgust. But if you want to take the position, the court must reshuffle the cards, and you have to return to Beijing. If you want to shuffle the cards, you must throw out Jia Chen and the others, and if you want to return to Beijing, Western Xia must be weak and will not pose a threat to the Song Dynasty.

The stakes in my heart are calculated and decided to cooperate.

The autumn breeze in the northwest is cool, but Pang Ji picked out a large number of elite soldiers from Yanyun Road and sneaked into Fuzhou. It is impossible to send troops from Yanzhou, so it is obviously impractical to reach the battlefield and cross Xiazhou. had to send troops from Fuzhou, but Wang Xin's troops and horses were dispatched, and the Song Dynasty turned into three roads, all the way in Linzhou, all the way in Fuzhou, and all the way in the Volcano Army.

Since the Khitan and the Western Xia turned against each other, it was like a soap opera, which had been in trouble for a long time, and the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty could not rest assured, and added many Song troops to the Fulin Road to prevent the Khitan from joining forces with the Western Xia to attack the Song Dynasty's Fulin Road and the Yanmen Pass in Hedong. At most, 30,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Fuzhou at one time, and less than 10,000 people were transferred, and the Khitan and Western Xia did not care, but only laughed at the timidity of the Song Dynasty.

Then Pang Ji wrote a letter to Yuan Hao, persuading him to write a letter.

The peace of the Three Kingdoms is beneficial to the country and the people, please do not go to war with the Khitan, and send envoys to ask for peace, which is beneficial to everyone.

It's also in line with his more cowardly performance.

Yuan Hao replied with a letter. The letter was very polite, there was no need to provoke the Song Dynasty at this time, and Pang Ji was the deputy prime minister at this time, and his identity was different. It's that I want to go to war with the Khitan. It was the Khitan that was eyeing me, and I had to make some preparations. If you want peace in the Three Kingdoms, please send an envoy to persuade the Khitans.

But in my heart, I want to fight, I want to fight with the Khitans.

It was hard to do it, and just now the country was restored to life, and the Khitan came again. However, the Khitan came violently, which also weakened Yuan Hao's enthusiasm, and he didn't want to expand anymore, and he fought with these two huge countries, regardless of victory or defeat, which increased the burden on the country. Pay for one's whistle.

This mentality didn't even Zheng Lang guess.

The Song Dynasty gave him coins to sue for peace, and also gave him a step to step down. So he sent an envoy to ask the Khitan for peace.

But what's the use of summing at this point? Liao Xingzong was full of interest and wanted to revive the glory of his ancestors. After another year of grinding, he was more prepared, and 167,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched in history. This time, 195,000 soldiers and horses were dispatched, which was only 25,000 fewer than the 220,000 Khitan army during the Battle of Lanyuan!

He is calculating like this, but he forgets one thing, in fact, in the battle of Lanyuan, the Khitan is the losing side!

The death of the people is not counted, the soldiers on both sides die, the Khitan people are more than twice as large as the Song Dynasty, if it were not for Song Zhenzong to put a super large array of hundreds of thousands of Song troops on the front line, the Khitans would not even be able to reach Dingzhou. can be ground to death by Song Jun. …,

However, the alliance under the city of the Song Dynasty, although it was a shame for later generations, was not necessarily a bad thing, and it was indeed a fortunate thing for the people of the two countries, but both sides did not grasp this opportunity for peace and fell one after another. Day by day is not as good as day by day. That's where the shame is.

And he arrived in Jinsu Prefecture at this time, close to the front line, how much materials and money did he have to waste by dispatching so many soldiers and horses? How can you go back without harvesting? So Liao Xingzong said: "If you want to apologize, please ask Yuan Hao to come in person." ”

I have to make it clear to my face, the reason why your Western Xia has grown strong is all due to our Khitan contributions, but how did my sister die, and why did she dare to surrender the people in my territory?

Yuan Hao was not convinced, so if the emperor of a country ran to other countries to apologize in person, what if he was detained and did not let himself come back? This is the best opportunity, if Yuanhao really goes to Jinsu Prefecture to apologize, Liao Xingzong will get face and withdraw from the army. But there were many concerns, but Yuan Hao didn't, and continued to send envoys to explain, it was useless, and the war was already on the verge of breaking out.

These situations are fed back to Zhang Kang one by one.

After seeing Zheng Lang's letter, Zhang Kang was very moved, among the major generals in the northwest, there are many people who support them, Di Qing has the most people who support them, even the emperor has contributed to them, followed by the old species, Wang Xin also has several people to support, only one person, his father is not painful, his mother does not love, and all the important ministers of the court will be negligent one by one. I don't accept it in my heart, so we are an authentic Jinshi background.

However, Zheng Lang's letter, this recommendation, is the biggest package, all-inclusive!

Whether Di Qing, or Lao Chong, or Wang Xin, whoever comes has to listen to himself, this is the greatest affirmation of himself. After this battle, the emperor must be impressed.

Zhang Kang's heart was both happy and sad. I am happy that I am finally not worried about my career, and I am sad that this battle can only be won and not defeated, and my identity cannot be exposed, at least not at the moment, so I must not leave a living mouth, or even a dead body for the Xixia people to see. And whether these Super Tigers will listen to their own transfers.

There is another expectation in my heart.

He faintly saw Zheng Lang's intentions, no matter what he did in this battle, sooner or later it would be leaked and spread, and the hearts of the Western Xia people would be uneven. I am not afraid that they will learn, and the two countries will suffer heavy losses, and the Western Xia and Khitan will not think of peace for more than ten years. So the Western Xia will not secretly help the Khitan invasion, and if the Khitan is defeated, will it have the heart to provoke the Song Dynasty again? Don't forget, there's still 500,000 coins. will not secretly help Tibet, that is a feud, since the Tang Dynasty.

But when it was spread, Xixia was not convinced, and would make some radical moves, although it was peaceful, the territory of the two countries was not discussed, and the people of the two countries were not forbidden, which obviously made excuses for the future army.

A few years later, there are still hits.

Carefully sent scouts, looked at the border to find out the news, further improved Zheng Lang's plan in his heart, and wrote another letter to Zheng Lang. Zheng Lang quickly replied, which is also supportive.

The generals gradually arrived, and the fierce generals were like clouds, except for the old species that had just passed away, other famous generals from the northwest came to Fulin Road together. So Fuzhou gathered everyone and looked at it, there were Di Qing, Wang Xin, Zhang Qi, Wang Ji, Wang Kai, Zhe Jimin, Yang Wenguang, Tian Fei, Jingtai, Zhao Xun, Guo Kui, Ji Zhen, etc., and even the four sons of Lao Chong. The stars are shining, and there are more third- and fourth-rate fierce generals, and there are at least more than 40 famous generals who can be counted. Zhao Zhen didn't know which general had the ability, but Zheng Lang's point general's score, he had heard of it, and it came according to Zheng Lang's point score.

The older ones are in their fifties, and the lower ones are only in their twenties, and they are all refreshed.

However, the pressure in Zhang Kang's heart was even greater.

Carefully pass on Zheng Lang's two letters, I am afraid that I will not be able to obey these generals, especially Di Qing and Wang Xin, who is qualified to mobilize them?

I have to use Zheng Lang's tiger skin as a banner.

Dozens of people watched at once, Di Qing looked at Wang Xin, and Wang Xin said, "General Zhang, you can give orders." ”

Among the generals, he was the most disgusted with the Tangut people, the battle of Sanchuankou, how many friends sacrificed, and now he still hates Liu Ping unabated, and he doesn't need to call for the Tangut people, he is full of spirit. …,

"Let's make a detailed plan first. ”

"Okay."

Zhang Kang said his thoughts, and no one was polite to him, except that the generals of Linfu Road respected him, and it was difficult for the generals of Shaanxi Road to respect him, so he could only say that he acted on orders. If you have any thoughts in your heart, say them one by one. There are also controversies in the middle, and it is inevitable that each person has different methods of marching. After a day of discussion, the final strategy was finally decided.

Zhang Kang looked at everyone again, and there was still a candidate who had not been decided.

This candidate should hold a letter from Zheng Lang to meet the Khitan Emperor, before the decisive battle to see the wind and sand, send someone to inform the rear, after the decisive battle, to find ways to lead the Khitan Emperor to the south, this trip not only has the ability to see, but also has the ability to speak, half arrangement, half envoy, very difficult. Even Di Qing may not be qualified for this position.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally all eyes were fixed on Tian Fei, Zhao Xun and Guo Kui.

Guo Kui said: "Let me go, although General Tian and General Zhao are both wise and brave, but their martial arts are not as good as mine, if they are defeated, they still need someone to protect the safety of the Khitan Emperor." ”

Tian Fei and Zhao Xun were helpless, they also wanted to go, they would make great contributions after the war, but they looked at Guo Kui's thick arms and legs, and held back the words.

Zhang Kang explained again, Guo Kui took the letter written by Zheng Lang and went to Jinsu Prefecture with a team of people.

The day is also in September, and the clouds of war are getting thicker and thicker day by day...... (To be continued) RQ
