Chapter 732: Something Happened

Zheng Lang returned home and sent someone to call Shi Heng first. Come on,.!

Artillery research and development is stuck, in fact, Zheng Lang did not ask Shi Heng to invent any clever advanced artillery, only some works in the Ming and Qing dynasties. However, it gave Shiheng leading scientific knowledge, after all, there is a difference of five or six hundred years, six or seven hundred years of knowledge accumulation, productivity, and experience.

Therefore, it has not been successful.

Not only is it not conducive to the military, but it is also not conducive to the development of science, and if it succeeds, there will be more people who study Gewuxue, but if they do not succeed, because it is not within the imperial examination program, there will be fewer and fewer people who will study. Moreover, the court has a lot of money, and if it drags on, there will eventually be impeachment or questioning by ministers.

There is no progress in the matter of Leigon, nitroglycerin has been successfully cured, it cannot be detonated without Leigon, liquefied nitroglycerin is easy to detonate, and it can often be thrown and smashed to make it 732 chapters of the stall exploded, but this thing is too dangerous, and it can explode when it is often carried in the hand, and it has no practicality at all.

Let Shi Heng take a period of vacation, follow behind him, and discuss with each other again.

Then he wrote a letter to Tanzhou and handed it to Tanzhou, saying that Zhao Zhen's condition had improved, he could speak, stand and sit, and he was recovering normally. This letter was obviously written to Cui Xian, but it was actually written to another person.

He wrote another letter and continued to resign from various official positions.

Zhao Zhen and his "smell like" is also due to nature, the two are very similar in terms of morality, or thoughts, or views on things, and they are people who pursue perfection. If you do something wrong, you will be punished, and you will not be polite.

Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi will inevitably suppress their resignation and not report it, so they will come to the second, third, and fourth parts.

He didn't think about what the consequences would be, but when he thought of a part, Zheng Lang didn't have any scruples. He has two intentions, and he is disgusted with the current trend of blindly nitpicking regardless of the overall situation. Many of Fu Bi's practices are not perfect, why does Zheng Lang value him, and all the scholars and doctors become bored together. In the later period of the Zhao Zhen Dynasty, the stars were shining, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, Bao Zheng, and the growing Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, who were not famous for the ages.

But the ministers are not the best era of the Zhao Zhen Dynasty, but the Tiansheng Dynasty, Lu Zongdao, Cai Qi, Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai, Li Di, etc., these people are humble gentlemen. He is kind-hearted, knowledgeable, upright, and has the ability to govern, rather than a brilliant article.

Secondly, Fu Bi did a mistake in the Liuta River incident, and forcibly got on the horse for the sake of political achievements and power.

The next day, he handed the resignation to the Chinese book and took Shi Hengdong down. After arriving in Lanzhou, he handed over a third resignation letter.

Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi finally got into trouble this time.

Zheng Lang did something wrong, but considering the seriousness of the Liuta River, even if it was wrong, it was wrong.

Looking at Zheng Lang, what did these Gu do?

Going south to Pingnong Zhigao rebelled, leveled Jiaojiao, shook Dali, and ruled the south is equivalent to changing one-fifth of the land for the Song Dynasty.

There was a lot of discussion between the government and the opposition.

Many ministers are not convinced, and Zheng Lang has been the prime minister for more than four years, he has not won over any cronies, but he has been able to promote some capable ministers to the throne, and his influence in the court is far above that of Jia Changchao.

That's not all, some people were overjoyed to hear the news.

So I thought about it before and after, and came up with one thing, originally the imperial court promised to let Zheng Lang serve as the pacification envoy of the Two Lakes Economic Strategy, but because of his jealousy, he was impeached many times and demoted to Jinghu South Road. Will Juyan Pass assist Zhang Pingmeng and the Tangut people in capturing Zheng Lang?

Regardless of whether Peng Shixi is opposed or not, monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives are the three programs of Confucian governance. Can you help your ministers attack the king?

One naked political persecution after another almost cost the country a painful loss.

The most fatal thing is that Ouyang Xiu returned from Hebei in a simple manner.

He deliberately went to the Liuta River construction site to inspect, the Liuta River project is coming to an end, the spring flood is coming, and the difficulty of digging the river is increasing, so he wants to finish the Liuta River project before the arrival of March, so countless people on the construction site are rushing to dig.

Then he went around the Liuta River, Ouyang Xiu knew more about the situation in Hebei, and he was very anxious after reading it, and when he returned to the capital, he wrote the third anti-chapter "On the Third Form of the River". Put forward three theories and three troubles.

The minister said, the villain said, and the strange strategy said. The minister refers to Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, and the villain refers to Li Zhongchang, there is no miracle strategy, but the minister is too attentive, does not admit that there is no river that has been plagued since ancient times, and only wants to rush for quick success and quick profit, so happy with great achievements, and fantasize about the miracle strategy that the river is not forever troubled. Could it be that Yelang Kingdom can also defeat the Han Dynasty with Qice?

A minister is greedy for the construction of the Sai River, what is greedy, understand, greedy for this political achievement, and forget to manage the embankment. Even if the second plague is business, Hu Kesai and Hu Dao returns, but within a year or two, the upper class will be decided. If the river overflows and the epidemic is astringent, the upper reaches must also be decided.

If you want to treat "there is no miracle plan for water control, depending on the topography, and beware ......of the tendency of the embankment to follow the water", I dare not say, or faintly refer to the northward flow and say, even if the Yellow River actively flows to the northeast, then according to the water nature of the Yellow River, dig a new Yellow River in the northeast direction to dredge it.

He also called on Zhao Zhen to give a special message to the prime minister to make a more judgmental review of the interests and harms, and to stop the battle of the Liuta River as soon as possible.

The book doesn't report it, at this time, the Liuta River is almost finished, how can it stop?

And Zhao Zhen's body has not recovered, and he can't be in charge at this time, political affairs are in the hands of Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, can he slap his face? "Tahe hasn't had an accident yet, Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo have already made a big deal.

Zheng Lang came to the Liuta River by boat, in fact, he could already see some along the way. On the Yellow River at the northern end of the capital, you can still see the Yellow River surging waves, but after passing the Xiaowu Si (west of Lanzhou), the Yellow River has several forks, starting from the small Wu Si and going to the Daimyo's mansion, dismembering this plain to pieces.

The water of the Yellow River has also calmed down.

This kind of flatness is not the Yangtze River, once it is gentle, the sediment can be quickly precipitated, and the Yellow River has become more and more an above-ground river, that is, there is no Liuta River, and sooner or later there will be a big incident...... "The Tahe River is in Puyang City, that is, the east of Lanzhou City, a new water-storing river channel in the northeast of Shanghu Si.

Because it is used to store water, the upstream is connected to the Yellow River, but the downstream is blocked and does not enter the sea. If successful, it will not only store water, but also use it for irrigation. Therefore, this proposal was approved by Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo. It is better to say that it is a river, a river-shaped reservoir.

Zheng Lang looked very carefully, not only at the Liuta River, but also at Xiaowu Si, Shanghu Si and several other forks of the Yellow River.

After watching it, I felt heavy.

Qian Duo got into trouble, it was much more serious than he imagined, the scale of the repair was too large, the length was about the same as in history, and the local terrain could not be long, but the width and depth far exceeded the scale of history.

Zheng Lang wrote the third memora and resigned again, but asked Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi to summon Jia Changchao to the capital to discuss the Liuta River.

The two returned west along the Yellow River.

On the boat, Shi Heng asked: "Zheng Xianggong, that blast furnace can only smelt iron, not steel?" ”

"Blast furnace smelting iron converter steelmaking ......" Zheng Lang patiently explained the differences between the chemical molecules of iron and steel, and talked about the principle of blast furnace and converter. He added: "This is a theory, and if it wants to become practice, it must be tested on a larger scale, the cost of research and development is higher, and many technical problems must be overcome one by one." Now there are not many people who know how to study Gexue, and without an assistant, you can't succeed in research alone. The key is still artillery, so let's put down the yellow powder first, and the research and development of Regon is also put down, specializing in artillery. The success of the artillery will make more people value Gewuxue, and if you learn Gewuxue, you will have more assistants. In addition, it is also convenient to ask the imperial court for research funds. ”

You have to eat the rice one bite at a time.

After coming and going, for more than 20 days, Zheng Lang not only looked at the Yellow River, but also explained a lot of theoretical knowledge with Shi Heng. It will take a long time to turn the theory into practice alone, but this theory must be perfected, so that Shi Heng knows all the principles and has a direction for research and development, so that the gap of hundreds of years can be narrowed.

When he arrived in the capital, Jia Changchao played a big name, and he couldn't do anything about Zheng Lang, but Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo could only be regarded as two little hairy children in front of him.

Zheng Lang is not in a hurry, anyway, the repair has been repaired, and what he has to do now is to support the queen, and he can't die.

So I prepared at home.

A few days later, Jia Changchao was late.

If it weren't for Zheng Lang, it was possible that he wouldn't have returned to the capital. What are you going to do back to the capital now? Is it to see Zhao Zhen or Wen Fu to make a subordinate gift?

Zheng Lang sent out invitations, inviting the ministers of the two provinces, as well as the officials and ministers of the two systems, as well as Jia Changchao to come to his home as a guest and talk about the Liuta River.

Not knowing what he was going to do, all the ministers involved: come up.

Not to mention anything else, Zheng Lang is the first brother of the Song Dynasty in water conservancy.

The matter spread to the harem, and after Zhao Zhen heard about it, he came to Zheng's house in person with his illness.

It's not a trivial matter, an accident in the Yellow River is a big trouble, and the Liuta River also has a lot of money for the imperial court. This year, all the development funds of Jinghu South Road can be solved, and when used for people's livelihood, half of the two taxes can be relieved, and the people's lives can be improved. However, it is only a theory, Zheng Lang repeatedly cut the forbidden army, and now the annual military expenditure of the Song Dynasty is still close to 60 million yuan, and the annual salary of officials is more than 30 million yuan.

One by one, Zheng Lang deliberately brought a cotton cushion and spread it on Zhao Zhen's chair.

The move is too flattering again.

But what to do? I have always regarded Zhao Zhen as a good brother, can I be considered a good brother now?

Zhao Zhen raised his weak hand and patted him on the elbow in appreciation.

It's a courtier, and it's half a son-in-law, so it's what it should do.

And before Zheng Lang returned to Beijing, he also heard the news that Li's mother did not do well, and her daughter was also bold. Therefore, Zhao Zhen's long-delayed verdict was finally announced. Let Li Wei and Zhao Niannu reconcile. No, this matter is a big deal, and Li Wei is definitely not happy that he is wearing a big green hat on his head. Besides, her daughter wants to come back, and she is unwilling to enter the Li family. But he found a woman from the clan and married Li Wei.

Putting aside the truth, Zhao Zhen's approach was very benevolent. However, he was afraid that his aunt would make trouble again, so he asked Li Zhang to support Li's mother, and still gave Li Wei the luxurious horse mansion. The official positions of the Li family remain unchanged. But what Li Wei was summoned into the inner palace and said is unknown to outsiders.

Later, Zhao Zhen and the others were recalled to the capital, their daughter was safe, and Zhao Zhen's anger dissipated.

Pity the two ministers only arrived in Liangguang, and before they could sit firmly, they hurried north and returned to Feifeng.

Of course, the doctor won a round of applause.

This is a microcosm of the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, thinking that it is a real skill to be able to abuse the emperor. The more serious it gets in the future, the most bullish is Tang Jiong, the school book of Chongwenguan. What kind of official position is the school book of Chongwenguan, but he is in charge of books and teaches all beings for himself. However, on his living day (under normal circumstances, the prime minister and his ministers will enter the palace every five days to meet the emperor, called the living day), he suddenly issued a threat and impeached Wang Anshi for 60 articles, saying that Wang Anshi was a traitor and stole the country and the world. said that Wen Yanbo and Feng Liang were timid and afraid, and that Wang Jia was a slave raised by Wang Anshi's family. It is said that the three of them are Wang Anshi's slaves, Zhang Hu and Li Ding are Wang Anshi's minions, and Zhang Shangying is Wang Anshi's eagle dog.

Originally, he was not qualified to speak, thinking about how many ministers would have his turn to speak on his living day, but he shouted: "Wang Anshi listened to Zazi before going to the royal car." ”

Wang Anshi was blinded, he was still a prime minister, and even the emperor didn't dare to speak to himself like this in this tone.

After hesitating, Tang Jiong said again: "This is still the case in front of Your Majesty, and you can imagine it outside." ”

Then he began to open the chapter and count down Wang Anshi's great crimes, and when the count was over, all the ministers at that time were scolded over and over again, ignoring the hundreds of monarchs and ministers in the palace, and left. Song Shenzong was stunned at the time, you are not a minister, nor an emperor, but the Jade Emperor, otherwise you would not be so good!

Under Zheng Lang's reminder, Zhao Zhen gradually woke up, and said many times that he could learn from Wei Zheng, he could be honest and outspoken, and he could pull the emperor's dragon robe, which Zhao Zhen did not exclude, including Bao Zheng, Zhao Zhen has always appreciated. But we must seek truth from facts, and we can't mess around.

Seeing Zhao Zhen's change of mind, the Manchu Dynasty scholars thought that winning the victory, the emperor knew that his mistakes could be corrected, and as for Zhao Niannu's whereabouts, all let the scholars and doctors treat them as air.

Seeing the reaction of the scholars, Zhao Zhen had an idea in his heart, I think about you, but you should also think about me a little. How many people have thought about me seriously? Thinking about it this way, his attitude towards Zheng Lang became more and more relaxed.

But Zheng Lang was even more ashamed.

Everyone sat down one after another, staring strangely at the long platform in the living room, which was so large that dozens of people came, and if the living room was large, they could only sit crowded around. But there was a huge curtain on this long platform, and it was impossible to see what was underneath.

Zheng Lang put his hand on this long platform and said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's kindness, I can rule the dynasty greatly." The situation is far better today than in many dynasties, with a population of 16 million households second only to the Western Han Dynasty and higher than the number of households in all periods of the Eastern Han and Tang dynasties. The economy is better than any generation. Han Wu broke the Huns, if there is no Wenjing, how to inherit. Han Wu was too anxious and did not pay attention to internal governance, otherwise the Western Han Dynasty would reach a height that could not be climbed. Now I am faintly climbing to this height, and once some shortcomings are solved, I will have an unprecedented take-off. ”

This passage was very inspiring, and Zhao Zhen smiled. has been stingy all his life, just to want to be a good emperor, and to say in his conscience that he has done a good job as an emperor.

Zheng Lang continued: "Although the scenery at this height is good, there are strong winds, rain, snow, and moraines, and there are still many difficulties. Because it is unprecedented, there is not much experience to learn from, which will lead to mistakes in various decisions, including the reaction of the court before Wuhao rebelled. But it doesn't matter, I'm not afraid of making mistakes, I'm afraid of not correcting mistakes, and if I make mistakes, I will correct them, and the decision-making will become more and more perfect. It is possible that most of you ministers do not know that a clan of the Jiashan Party conspired to rebel, which led to the Great War of the River Meander.

A northern obstruction of the Bu trade road led to the rebellion of the northern blockade, and the two kingdoms of Zhenliao fought for several years. ”

After a brief explanation, he didn't dare to go into details, and continued: "If a loophole is filled in time, it will be perfect, and if the leakage is deliberately expanded, it will make the thousand-mile causeway collapse in one fell swoop." For the enemy, we need to make this hole bigger, but remember not to ourselves. What kind of skill is that? Isn't it glorious to fight in the nest? I was just worried about the Liuta River, so I came back to take a look, but I heard rumors in the market that even the matter of Ximan and Chenzhou was about to come out. Why? ”

Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo did something wrong, and some Yanchen stumbled on themselves, Zheng Lang didn't like it. However, he didn't like Jia Changchao even more, especially when he was used by Jia Changchao as a gun.

The hand is with this call.

He also said: "Everyone, if there is a mistake pointed out, everyone should correct it together, and do not insinuate that the situation will expand and form an internal strife. Before his death, Achai, the king of Tuyuhun, called the sons and asked them to fold one chopstick, and then a pair of chopsticks, so that the sons could understand the meaning of unity, and Tuyuhun began to become strong in the west. Everyone, if you want to be strong, if you want to bring the Song Dynasty to an unprecedented height, you will go down in history because of this, and you must be united. Please say ......"

I don't want to say more, what happened to Zhao Niannu, he didn't want to be the prime minister again, so he didn't want to argue, what he said was just a persuasion.

Only then did he say: "Your Majesty, as well as all the ministers, as well as your ministers, I said the Liuta River, only the Liuta River, and I hope that I will not use the Liuta River to cause other things in the future." Your Majesty, the minister said the Liuta River. ”

As he spoke, he tore open the curtain.

Revealing its true face, it is a huge model, which can also be used in the military, but it is difficult, Zheng Lang has tried, and if he wants to succeed, he must display all the terrain on the model according to the standard size, so that there will be no mistakes in decision-making.

Nowadays, even the map is not standard, let alone the model.

I have used it occasionally, but not many times.

Now Zheng Lang is not used for the military, but for civilians, speaking in kind.

It is a model of the situation of the Yellow River from the east of Lanzhou to the Daimyo's mansion, including the Liuta River and the Shanghu River. Tearing open the giant curtain, the subordinates of the Zheng family began to bring well water with large and small buckets. Zheng Lang said: "Your Majesty, look at the function of the Liuta River. ”

Then, with a wave of their hands, the men poured the well water into the Yellow River upstream of the model!!
