The mountain water in the palace quickly came out.

Many people are puzzled.

Zheng Lang became more and more low-key, finished his daughter's family affairs, and quickly left the capital and went to Jingdong Road.

The envoy of Western Xia was late, Zheng Lang was in the capital, he didn't dare to blackmail, and he had to wait for Zheng Lang to leave before he could extort money from the weak Song Dynasty monarchs.

He was very disappointed that the result was not what he imagined at all, on the contrary, the emperor of the Song Dynasty issued a series of edicts to ban all the two mutual markets, and even the private markets were eliminated one by one. Not only green salt and other materials, Zhao Zhen also issued an edict, such as driving cattle and horses along the border, privately buying the people's valley, and prohibiting it. Even the horses and oxen, which were still lacking in the Song Dynasty, were gone. Not only horses and cattle, but also the border soldiers, if there are Xia people and familiar households who dare to invade the plough without permission and violate the ban, they will be beheaded.

A series of edicts were issued, and the two worlds were awe-inspiring.

Still did not prevent the transportation of green salt from the private salt channel to the Song Dynasty, so Zhao Zhen ordered Xue to go to Shaanxi as a transshipment envoy to further reform the Fan Xiang salt law, and transport the cheap salt to the front line to offset the impact of green salt.

One after another, stricter orders and measures were sent to the northwest.

He was annoyed and ashamed, thinking that Yanzhou was unprepared, and suddenly attacked Yanzhou. Very sad, he met Di Qing, who had grown up, Yanzhou was short of troops, Di Qing first guarded the village, and then sent thousands of horsemen to harass constantly. As a result, this invasion did not hide any gains, but instead lost some soldiers and horses.

Then he had no energy to distract Yanzhou, Yang Wenguang, Chong Ge and other generals arrived in Weizhou, immediately gathered soldiers and horses, agitated the Tibetan people, the two sides united, attacked the Niche Valley and Agancheng, and quickly moved several small villages on the periphery of the two cities one by one, leaving only two lonely cities.

There was no hiding of the falsehood, so Pang had to mobilize the army to rescue.

The Song army retreated slowly, seemingly invincible, and retreated, but in fact, in order to preserve its strength, it retreated to Jingyuan Road. However, the Tibetan tribes continued to resist. They wanted to retreat, there was no place to retreat, and after several fierce battles, the Western Xia once again recovered the Niche Valley Henan, and this time the losses were quite heavy.

However, the Song Dynasty mobilized more troops and slowly sent them to Weizhou, but they did not dare to withdraw their troops.

The series of battles was not large, but the big one was in the following year.

Due to the conflict between the Tubo and the Luo, the Tubo tribe defected to Western Xia. This vote. The door to attack Qingtang from the Niche Valley was opened. Thinking that it was a good time, he used the leader of the Luo tribe as a guide to send a large army to attack Tibet.

Hearing this news, Di Qing waited until the main army of Western Xia was about to arrive in Qingtang City, and suddenly joined forces with Zhang Qi to send troops. Di Qingbing went out of the security army, since the reconciliation of Xia and Song. The Western Xia Dynasty occupied Houqiao, Jiaohao, Shipan and other forts in the Song Dynasty to build more other forts, and surrounded several forts, faintly having a tendency to lose. Di Qing led his soldiers and horses to destroy these new castles in Western Xia one by one.

This is the place occupied by the Song Dynasty, but in Linzhou, the place of Hexi is occupied by the Western Xia in many places, the original territory of the west is the Russian technology, Pandui to Ningxi Peak, from the Quye River has been more than 100 miles away, the southwest from Shuangfeng Bridge, Xingziping, Maitreya to the Changqian Salt Courtyard area, from the Quye River also has more than 70 miles. But under several attacks by Western Xia. Gradual fall. Then the Western Xia set up many forts on these lands, and the encroachment on cultivated land was less than ten miles away from the Quye River at this time.

Zheng Lang begged for the original Linzhou homeland, and the Western Xia in turn begged for the back bridge, and Zhang Qi urged the destruction of these Xixia forts in Hexi, fighting in the front, and sending people to step up the repair of the two forts that Guo Gu Wuji was going to repair.

Even if it is destroyed, the foundation is insufficient, and the forcible occupation will not outweigh the losses. Therefore, only three forts were built. It became a bridgehead to prevent the Tanguts from further encroachment. It is also to prevent the Western Xia from crossing the Quye River and directly endangering the people behind the Linfu Road.

The scale of the war is not large, it is purely a war to take advantage of.

Because the main force of Western Xia was in Qingtang City, the original battle plan was realized smoothly, and then Western Xia was defeated and retreated to Qingtang City, and the Song army immediately stopped attacking. In fact, this trick is to learn from the Western Xia, constantly harassing, and turning passivity into initiative. Everyone uses this tactic together, and it's up to them to see who can have the last laugh.

didn't hide it, but it was even worse on the Tibetan side.

The army was guided by Ah and successfully attacked Qingtang City, he underestimated the battle, and the two armies fought a fierce battle in Qingtang City, and the Western Xia army was defeated. Hearing that the Song army was sending troops in the rear, he decisively sent troops to Western Xia, which was really overwhelmed by the attack of Tibet. Together with the three major clans of Lanzhou, Longkui, Gonggong, and Mapo, they were forced to surrender to Tibet. It happened that the Khitan sent her daughter to Tubo to marry Dong Yu, who came from the Uighurs by a detour, and in order to welcome her relatives, she put down a series of attacks like a storm and returned from a great plunder.

didn't hide it, Pang just gasped.

A domestic incident also made him have to temporarily put aside military action, forgive Zuo gradually grown, and try to preside over the state affairs, don't take it seriously, it is a move that does not hide the false Pang to do something to the clans. When Liang Zuo was young, he didn't hide the family's less milk, so that the Han Mao Weichang and Gao Huaizheng's wife were more breastfeeding. Liang Zuo grew up eating the milk of the two wives, and was very close to the two, not only rewarded them richly, but also awarded them the six house envoys, and the two also compared themselves to the cronies of Liang Zuo, and often told Liang Zuo about the dissatisfaction of the people outside with the lack of concealment.

This made Wuzang Pang feel threatened, and killed the two in the name of Gao Huaizheng's loan shark and Mao Weichang's stealing Yuan Hao Panlong suit. The tribes in the Western Xia were even more indignant and dissatisfied with the failure to hide the false Pang, but fortunately, the Khitan made the wrong move.

The Song Dynasty wanted to take advantage of it, and Liao Zhenzong also wanted to take advantage of it, and when the two countries joined forces, they sent envoys to ask Tubo to send troops to Hexi, and Liangzhou was the fief of Dong Yu, so that it was closer to the Khitan. It is too obvious that once the Tibetans regain Hexi, the Western Xia will definitely fight to the death with the Tibetans. The rear of Western Xia will become an empty city, whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Khitan taking the opportunity to send troops, they will succeed. However, no matter which of these two countries succeeds, it will pose a threat to Tibet.

Moreover, let Tubo send troops to Hexi, what qualifications does the Khitan have to make a fief in Liangzhou, which has been occupied by Western Xia.

He is not a fool, he politely refused to be far away, and the Khitan envoy did not achieve his goal, so he stayed and bewitched the Khitan princess all day long, which is now Dong Yu's wife. Dong Yu was angry and killed him, but he didn't see his wife. Her mother didn't listen to her advice, so this Khitan princess became a Xingping princess again.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he felt that leaving Western Xia was not necessarily a bad thing, at least it could block the threat of the Song Dynasty and the Khitan, and he did not send any more troops.

After several battles, the national strength of the Western Xia finally gradually declined, and in the third year, the security army Hu Shouzhong defected to the Western Xia, and Di Qing actually led the army and forcibly entered the territory of the Western Xia. Capture Hu Shouzhong and kill him on the spot, and establish his authority on the border.

Repeated defeats, especially the ban, which is more powerful, far better than a war of two, Zheng Lang once privately pondered that if the Song Dynasty could hold it, as long as the ban lasted for ten years, maybe the Western Xia would collapse. Western Xia lost. Coupled with the ban, the state was seriously insufficient, and Pang was softened without hiding it, so he sent envoys to the Song Dynasty to sue for peace, took the initiative to ask for the division of borders, and even proposed to give up dozens of miles to the west of the Quye River. The ditch should be built as a boundary, and it will not invade each other and cultivate each other.

……

Before and after this share expansion, 45 prefecture capitals were enveloped in it, including Shaozhou, Huizhou, Chaozhou, Guizhou, Qinzhou, Yongzhou, and Rongzhou in Guangzhou, and Tanzhou, Hengzhou, Daozhou, and Chenzhou in Jinghu South Road.

This represents a strong significance, not only the emergence of banks, but also the economic development of these regions. It also represents the gradual control of the south by the imperial court.

Twenty large deed shares, with a capital of 160 million, led to the emergence of one of the largest Thomas of the Song Dynasty. The imperial court used the money from the fundraising and the dividends from the bank as the share capital, and began to issue jiaozi. With the circulation of Jiaozi, the reputation of this improved and expensive Jiaozi is getting better and better, and the demand for Jiaozi is also increasing. However, Zheng Lang repeatedly said that Jiaozi was harmful to printing on a large scale, so the circulation was always strictly controlled, and for 160 million Jiaozi, the bank must have 160 million Jiaozi related copper coins and the equivalent of gold and silver as the principal.

But metal money is still sorely lacking. This one can't be rushed.

Now not only Zheng Lang is guessing. Many ministers are also guessing how much currency was needed to meet the needs of the market for the fall of the Song Dynasty.

The bank's business. Zheng Lang definitely did not participate, this is an opportunity for Pang to make meritorious contributions. A bank can at least guarantee that Pang Ji will stay in the phase for an extra year.

He wrote a memorial essay on Jingdong Road and took the initiative to write it for others. Ma Zun is dead, he is a direct minister, he dares to speak up, but unlike these ministers who take it as their duty to slander and slander, his words are gentle, and he is realistic and realistic, and he has been praised by Du Yan and Fan Zhongyan for his gentleness. So Zheng Langda said that he was a real gentleman, not only upright, but also a gentleman's gentle, courteous and thrifty style, which is worth learning from the world.

This time, Zheng Lang is different from usual.

Every time he became a local official, he would do many earth-shattering things. Not this time, just a few minor repairs to the water conservancy, or look around, and say that the bigger one is to set up a new small city division. Dengzhou City Bo Division, specializing in timber.

In the past, he set up a city in Mizhou, and traded mostly with the Japanese and Goryeo, including various types of timber. It is not only used for construction, but also for ink production. During the Song Dynasty, millions of people read and used up a lot of ink every year, and large areas of pine forests were cut down to make ink, causing further soil and water damage.

This is one of them, and wood is now used to build houses, as well as charcoal for heating in winter. Coal is available, but it is not possible for people in all regions to use it. Shipping conditions are constrained. Finally, there is the clearing of wasteland.

After the Port of Mizhou received a large amount of timber, many ink-making workshops appeared.

The ink-making workshop is easy and can be relocated, but it cannot solve the problem of house construction. Zheng Lang asked the imperial court to set up a port in Dengzhou, only dealing in timber from Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, and in order to prevent the Khitan from using the city to reconnoiter the terrain of Jingdong, it was heavily guarded. After the timber was transported to Dengzhou, it was then towed by boat from the sea to Qingzhou, and then from Jishui to the capital and other regions. Otherwise, the cost of transportation from land is too high. There were also some ministers who didn't know their intentions, and Zheng Lang asked Yan Rong to submit a letter of information.

Over the past few years, large areas of pine forests have been cut down in the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, and the water and soil have also been destroyed, and the time is short, and it is not visible, but the flash floods in some areas are increasing.

As for whether these two countries will become deserts in the end, Zheng Lang doesn't care, it's better to be like that.

At the end of the year, Xiao Yunjin died. It seems that the greatest scourge of the Khitan has been removed, and in fact the seeds she planted began to grow and sprout. At her instigation, Yelu Chongyuan gradually became ambitious, and Yelu Chongyuan still had a scruples, and the problem was that he also had a son, Yelu Nerugu. When Xiao Yunjin was there, she persuaded every day, but Yelu Chongyuan hesitated, but her grandson moved her mind, so after Xiao Yunjin's death, she continued to bewitch her father every day to replace her nephew's throne.

The mutiny a few years later was also an opportunity, and the key was whether it could be seized or not.

As soon as the grandmother he hated died, Liao Zhenzong was very happy, raised his father's banner again, and wanted to run the Western Xia, which was the beginning of the real marriage in the second year. Take the initiative to retreat.

In the first month of the third year of Jiayou, Zheng Lang was transferred to Huainan East Road as a transit envoy.

There are not many people who know the inside story, and many people are suspicious, it seems that the emperor has no suspicion of Zheng Lang, why did Zheng Lang also become the second Fan Zhongyan in his later years, wandering everywhere? Thinking about Zheng Lang's low-key arrival on Jingdong Road, is the emperor really worried about Zheng Lang's high achievement?

So someone went to the book and became a minister to do this. I also have to be suspicious, so that future generations can be embarrassed and not reported, as Zheng Lang said, if most of the power is in the hands of scholars today, it will not work if you don't report it. More and more ministers wrote to Zheng Lang to return to the capital, and even several prime ministers were implicated. Under pressure, Pang Ji released part of the truth, and the book stopped. And then one by one they were looking forward and thinking in their hearts.

It's not a trivial matter, once the river is governed like Zheng Lang's plan, how much will it cost? Yang Guangxiu's Grand Canal is nothing more than that.

In June, Han Qi was taken as a flat matter, and the original meaning was still to employ people. Whether Zheng Lang can serve as prime minister again, Zhao Zhen is puzzled. You can't always let Pang Ji be the prime minister, although Fu Bi has a gentle personality, but he lacks courage, so he let Han Qi enter the East Mansion to see the after-effects.

There were three prime ministers in Dongfu again, headed by Fu Bi, followed by Pang Ji, and Han Qi again. It just so happened that Jia Changchao asked Yanchen to find a handle. Zhang Guifei had a nurse named Jia, and Zhang Guifei took Jia's to the harem after being favored. Zhang Guifei died. The Jia family is still in the harem, loving the house and Wu. Zhao Zhen has always been not thin on the Jia family. With the same surname Jia, Jia Changchao shamelessly worshipped Jia as his aunt. This matter is very secret, I don't know how, it actually came out.

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, this was fatal.

Under the staring eyes of many eyeliners, one more thing was discovered, Jia Changchao built a luxurious mansion and treated the eunuchs as guests. Chen Xu presented the two things, and it was an absolute offense, and Zhao Zhen didn't dare to protect it, so he shot the right servant of the Zhendong Festival and served the envoy of the Jingling Palace.

The two privy envoys were vacant at the same time, Zhao Zhen wanted to use Wang Yaochen as the privy envoy, and Hu Su impeached the Liutahe mistake, but it was unsuccessful, and he had no choice but to take Song Zhen and Tian Guo as the privy envoys, Zhang Yu as the privy deputy envoy, and Wang Yaochen continued to participate in political affairs. Soon, Wang Yaochen was depressed because of this incident and died of illness.

Zheng Lang is still on Huainan East Road.

But he received a private letter from Pang Ji, and he was too tired to do it. Later generations praised Han Qi, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi incomparably, and in terms of fame, it is enough for these people to be prime ministers. But political affairs are not made of fame or articles, in history, since Pang Ji left the phase, since Chen Zhizhong, the rule of officials began to gradually decline, it is precisely because of the corruption of the rule of officials, in this year, Wang Anshi could not bear it and wrote the famous letter of ten thousand words.

has fame, you can't expect Song Zhen and Han Qi, Fu Bi has played a small role at most, everyone does not act together, and they are also intriguing one by one, after two years of being the prime minister, Pang Ji has the means, and he burst into tears.

Not only that, but he was gradually targeted.

It depends on the distribution of forces, the fall of Jia Changchao is only an illusion, and the real reason is that Fan Zhongyan and Lu Yi Jian Jiaoniu started. Jia Changchao took over Lu Yijian's subordinates, and Han Qi, Wen Yanbo, and Fu Bi took over Fan Zhongyan's subordinates. Han Qi and Wen Yanbo also colluded with the eunuchs, why is there nothing wrong, it is precisely because the power left by Lu Yijian is gradually weakening, and Jia Changchao has more scheming, and there is no one to support him, so he can only fall. The three prime ministers of Dongfu are definitely not a long-term solution, so they set their sights on Pang Ji together.

Pang Ji used to be outside these two forces, and even strictly speaking, he was very close to Jia Changchao and Yan Shu for a while. If he doesn't fall, who will he fall?

Moreover, in recent years, he has reduced redundant officials, rewarded and indiscriminately rewarded and rewarded, and at the same time offended many scholars.

Besides, I've been prime minister for two years, and I'm almost about to expire.

If you want to find trouble easily, the impeachment of the big ones begins.

After Zheng Lang received the letter, he handed the letter to Xiao Su and analyzed the stakes. Sneered: "It's not a group yet, but it's coming soon." ”

Su Zhe's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "No." ”

These ministers involved are all his idols, how can they be as despicable as Zheng Lang said.

"Think about it," Zheng Lang smiled, and said in his heart, if you don't reflect, you are also one of them. Then wrote the analysis of this matter to Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, Han Qi and Wen Yanbo are not terrible, but what is terrible is their two students.

Then he wrote a letter and handed it to Zhao Zhen, speaking with facts, whether Pang Ji is doing well or not, depending on the situation of the treasury. If you really listen to the words of the ministers, don't govern the Yellow River, the treasury is empty, and nothing can be done.

This year, there was nothing to do in the Yellow River, nothing to do in the Yellow River, something to do in the north, and there was a drought. The drought had little impact, and Zhang Fangping made a lot of contributions to the three envoys. Bao Zheng ruled Kaifeng Mansion and reached a daunting height, so he moved to the imperial history.

Not only moved to the imperial history of Zhongcheng, but because the section of the Guangji River was decided in Wuxian County, many civilian fields were flooded, so Bao Zheng served as a transfer envoy to raise the prison examination institute and go to the disaster.

Bao Zheng left Kaifeng Mansion and knew Kaifeng Mansion Yin with Ouyang Xiuquan.

Let Ouyang Xiuxue Bao Zheng be a bag of sunspots, Ouyang Xiu can't learn, everything is old-fashioned, and it doesn't matter.

Some people say that you have not done as well as Bao Zheng.

Ouyang Xiu replied: "Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and we can't give up their strengths to strengthen their weaknesses. ”

It is said that after Su Shi heard about this, he said to Zheng Lang: "Gong Zheng, Duke Ouyang is starting to become gentle. ”

"Really?" Zheng Lang smiled and said, "Zizhan, you wait and see." ”

Ouyang Xiu was really happy, this grudge was in his heart. It's not that he doesn't report it, the time has not come, if there is no accident, Ouyang Xiu will take revenge for half a year.

ps: The transition between the two chapters, I didn't want to write it, but I don't explain the cause and effect, and I have to interject the narrative from time to time later, destroying the sense of narrative, please forgive me.
