They were disappointed by the results.

If the eldest mother's words work, the previous Zheng Lang would not have become that kind of gentlemanly surname.

When Zheng Lang was confused, Erniang stretched out her head and said in a low voice: "Eldest sister, it's not good, Lang'er is now married and has a family, and he is a parent official, and there are four students......"

Can kneel but can't kneel, it's a husband, an official, and a teacher.

The eldest lady thought about it, changed her tone, and asked, "Lang'er, why do you want to destroy the Buddha?" ”

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang glanced at each other, shook their heads, and were extremely disappointed, they had lived in Zhengjiazhuang for a long time, and they couldn't see any good show when they knew the eldest mother's question.

Zheng Lang was still inexplicable, glared at the two "ill-intentioned" little third sons, and asked, "Big Lady, when will the Buddha be destroyed?" ”

I just feel extremely disgusted with Shi Lao, and I can't say this sentence casually, and I can pay it back, how many Buddhists are there in the country?

"I heard you write a letter to the emperor in Zheng and Zhou, saying that you want to destroy the Buddha."

Who's chewing the tongue? Zheng Lang said: "Lady Niang, the child has a few friends, you know, the capital is just a few people who know the master and the righteous path of Weizhong, one is the Shi family, the other is the Taoist, if the child shouts to destroy the Buddha, why are they also friends with them?" ”

Some steal beams and change pillars and become friends with them, because they have a noble surname and a similar temperament to Zheng Lang. In fact, Zheng Lang does not reject Buddhism and Buddhism, people must always have a belief, and Confucianism lacks systematic theories, and Confucianism himself has not figured it out, let alone let the people figure it out.

The Buddha then filled the vacuum.

Although it has many drawbacks, it generally teaches the people to be good, and can also give the poor people some spiritual sustenance. What disgusted them is that some fake monks, hanging monk signs, annexing fields, lending usury, and even doing such things as knowing goodness.

It is this kind of monk who opposes it, not Buddhism as a whole.

The eldest lady was confused. Zheng Lang said again: "Xian'er, you accompany a few ladies into the house to talk." ”

made a look at Cui Xian, Cui Xian understood, and pulled a few ladies into the room. Cui Xian told what happened in Linjiang Temple, and several mothers recited Amitabha Buddha together.

Cui Xian said again: "The eldest mother, the second mother, the third mother, the fourth mother, the fifth mother, the sixth mother, the seventh mother, the officials are very good, and they will not destroy the Buddha." ”

This matter did not spread very quickly, the main truth made the relevant parties deliberately half-cover up, many people can roughly know that Linjiang Temple has done a lot of evil things, considering the victim's family, and even some official eunuchs, even a few bigwigs in the capital did not say much, and also seized the matter of seeking money and killing people to make a fuss.

A few ladies heard this, and they didn't expect the truth to be like this.

But when this happened, it can't stop the worship of Sakyamuni by a few mothers, and said Zheng Lang, if we don't burn incense and worship Buddha, how can you change your evil and return to righteousness, how can you be talented, and how can you get the middle solution yuan, provincial yuan, and huiyuan, and how to go down to Jiangnan to do some good things? If it is not blessed by the Buddha, why can't you think about it when you sit down, you can't think about it when you stand up, but you want to come up with knowledge when you meditate? If it weren't for us burning incense from Zhengzhou to Songshan Shaolin Temple, how did you come to Jiangnan to come up with these good methods?

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were not surprised, Lu Gongzhu and Yan Rong, Shi Congguang and Lu Sanshu were dumbfounded, it turned out that it was not your son who was willing to work hard and put his mind into it, all of which were given by the Buddha!

What is the reason?

Zheng Lang pinched his nose and couldn't make a sound.

The eldest lady said again: "Accompany me to burn incense tomorrow, and when the burning is finished, we will go to Jiuhua Mountain to burn incense." ”

Anyway, the son wrote against the Buddha, which made several mothers very angry.

"Auntie, I really have something, and I'm doing good, why don't I accompany you to Guangji Temple tomorrow to have a look, and then go to see the two Daxu?"

"It's fine." When I came, I inquired on the road, there is such a temple, what is Xiao Jiuhua. Those two Daxu also made a few mothers curious. Speaking of the two Daxu, the topic gradually diverged, and I looked at the stomachs of several girls. The eldest lady frowned again, and Zheng Lang couldn't help pinching his nose again.

The next day, I came to Zheshan Mountain, which was the highest peak on the edge of Wuhu and Hu counties, or two small hills, and the big peak was not very high, just a little higher than Jimao Mountain.

Entered Guangji Temple, which is a relatively formal temple, relying on incense to eat, and did not buy any real estate, nor did he put any usury. Zheng Lang didn't have much bad feeling about this temple, and a few ladies wanted to worship the temple, so they had to bring it over.

After turning around, several ladies took out hundreds of silk silks and presented them to the host. Let the great monks of Guangji Temple be overjoyed, is the sun coming out of the west today? Not only did Xiao Zhizhou worship Buddha for the first time, but he also brought a few mothers over and donated so much incense.

Zheng Lang looked at the expressions of several big monks laughing at Mimi, he was speechless, thinking that there were more on the boat, and he had brought more than 1,000 exquisite silk silks, ready to donate them to the Bodhisattvas of various departments, but what should Zheng Lang do? I am not around, and a few mothers have to have a spiritual sustenance.

I stayed in the county inn for one night, got on the boat again, and not far away, I arrived at Youminwei, where two official ships were parked.

Several officials on the shore stood on the polder embankment and pointed, and Zheng Lang looked at it suspiciously.

A few ladies didn't realize it, but they just saw the endless cyan willow and praised: "Lang'er, this is good, very good-looking." ”

"Eldest mother, second mother, fourth mother, not for good looks, but to protect the embankment." Cui Xian explained.

I don't understand much, and a few mothers don't dare to interject.

Zheng Lang went ashore, it was two Zhizhou who took the lead to come to investigate, one was Hezhou Zhizhou, and the other was Wuwei Army Zhijun, everyone sat on an equal footing, a few cold words, and Ma Zhizhou said: "Let's visit, disturb Zheng Zhizhou." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," Zheng Lang said, but he was worried.

It's okay to visit, but not one or two prefectures, it's possible that there are more than a dozen prefectures and more counties nearby, come and visit together, whose hospitality fee is it? How do you calculate it?

Isn't the court very well-behaved? Why do you want to let the prefectures cross the border? Will this crossing be cleaned up in the end? Who doesn't want to get out and about?

But you can't be offended, you have offended once for the matter of seeds, and if you offend again, there will be no labor after the autumn, and the edict issued by the imperial court will not work, and if you don't implement it, we can't spare labor here, what should we do?

Zheng Lang was so depressed that he almost stretched out his hand and said, "You are welcome to visit me, but you have to give me money." ”

It is not too much to spend three or four hundred yuan on a Zhizhou plus a few county orders, and it is not too much to spend six or seven hundred yuan on two trips.

No, you have to ask the court for money.

With this amount of income in Taiping Prefecture, don't empty my finances, the rest of the things will not be easy to do.

With all kinds of thoughts in his stomach, he continued to answer the questions of the two Zhizhou. He also said: "It's not difficult to say, it's not easy to say, if you want to do it well, take into account the interests of all parties, the impact of the waterway on the neighboring states, the impact on the small wei in your own state, and the distribution of ninth-class households." If it is opened, the country will be beneficial, but the distribution will not be good, and the court will not benefit much. ”

That is, when the grain is annexed by the big households, the grain is out, and the grain is turned out, whether it is sold or handed over, the output is really increased. However, the annexation of large households, apart from increasing grain production, did not bring any direct income to the country, and the country was poor and the people were poor, and the richest group of people continued to be rich.

He also said: "If you want to deal with it well, or remember two words well, you can handle it fairly." ”

Huang Zhijun asked, "Those two words?" ”

"People, don't think that the people are the people, the scholars are the people, and the Confucians love the people and love the scholars, not the people. The people are as noble as the people, so Mencius said that the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light. Zheng Lang knew that saying a lot of things was similar to farting, and sometimes he couldn't help but say it.

It's the same thing that the court has become weird.

Together, they think that they are scholars, so they want to maintain the advantages of scholars, which has no impact on themselves, but has an impact on future generations.

It is a subconscious behavior.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen doesn't care about the people, no one objects, it's good to repair books, only scholars have the ability to do it, and the knowledge and advantages of scholars are also obvious. This kind of mentality is not only found in many children of official eunuchs, but also in some professional households that have just been lifted out of poverty, such as Ouyang Xiu, and later Xiaosu, all have this despicable mentality, not as elegant as the articles they wrote.

With this mentality, can Wang Anshi's reform be improved?

It is the country that he reforms for profit, and if he kills the rich and helps the poor, I am afraid that he will let the scholars and doctors tear them alive when he is alive.

I am afraid that there is only one person who can do it if he really loves the people, and the hot-blooded middle-aged man Dr. Fan.

The others are all a group of people who sell dog meat with sheep's heads.

Huang Zhijun and Ma Zhizhou couldn't keep silent.

Didn't say deeply, with a few Niang Niang and two Zhizhou down the polder, half a year of growth, originally it grew very fast, the embankment is full of silt, fertility is sufficient, has become considerable, faintly into a half forest.

Cui Xian said: "Next year, we can raise silkworms on a large scale. ”

"I wonder how the people in the polder are busy?" Zheng Lang smiled bitterly after speaking.

On the side of the avenue, a pergola was erected, and the government had already sent people to collect taxes, and some of the early rice had already been harvested, and the people with good conditions came to pay taxes spontaneously.

Although the people sometimes fight for more profits, most of them are still simple.

Therefore, Zheng Lang said that when he repaired books after the autumn, he also read and looked at people's hearts. Not only can you see the actions of the people, but also look at the actions of the people from other counties and counties, there is a comparison, in order to understand more people's hearts, or a leaf knows the autumn, but this leaf can be seen bigger.

I don't know people's hearts, how to cultivate the mean?

Almost all the people knew Zheng Lang, and almost all the villages in the two Wei let him run all over, and when he heard that Zheng Lang's mothers were coming, he suddenly knelt down together and said, "Thank you Zhizhou, thank you to a few big women"

Good days are coming soon, and they are all dreamlike and tearful.

Zheng Lang helped them up, and asked the officials around him to notify the heads of the elderly households and the elders who could be the masters to come over.

happened to be here with Huang Zhijun and Ma Zhizhou, and by the way, I did some things, so that they could see how they were officials.

Then there was no word with the two Zhizhou, Si'er bought a few fresh fish from the fishing boat, made a few dishes with the kitchen utensils on the boat, and served them on the embankment, the weather was neither hot nor cold, the river breeze was cool, Zheng Lang did not put up a shelf, and the two Zhizhou did not dare to put a shelf, sat cross-legged on the ground, and ate a light meal.

But looking at the golden ears of rice in the polder, Zheng Lang still felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, so he moved the piano, sat on the ground, and played a song.

Zhizhou is playing the piano again, a group of ordinary people tilt their heads to listen, it's good, it's really good, it's fake, it's not heard, but I feel that Zhizhou is very elegant, and I like and worship from the bottom of my heart.

The wei is very large, a pocket, and most of the days have passed, and all the heads of the elderly households have arrived.

Zheng Lang said: "You have all reported the actual number of mouths, and even reported one or two more. ”

There was a head of the elderly household in the four villages, including the Wei Nei and some elders, and more than 100 people blushed together.

Zhizhou treats himself with sincerity, but his own group of people is not doing very well.

Zheng Lang didn't care about this, and said: "In the future, it will inevitably increase the number of servants, so the official said that all the profits of the Yuze Pogang in the Wei will be given out, and there will be no tax, but in the future, the official will teach some knowledge one by one, so that you can make profits in these ditches and ponds, and some will become special management." In this case, you can bid, the highest price gets, the whole village supervises the bidding, before the bidding in order to prevent bad bids, must pay a certain amount of protection, no one may be coerced by force and power, if there is an appeal. The proceeds from the bidding, except for the 4% deed tax levied by the imperial court, are all owned by the villagers, and if there are more than two villages, they will be distributed according to the number of households. I will also make a stone as a monument and put it on the embankment. ”

The area of the circle is large, there are some big lakes in the polder, some are hundreds of acres of land, and a small Qianmo can't occupy it, so it is divided into two villages and three villages to jointly operate.

The stone is a monument, because the people do not know the law, and the regulations are also formulated by themselves, and they are contained on the river embankment, which will become a standard in the future, and they cannot let the officials behind fool the people and waste all their efforts.

At least let it be kept for a few decades, if there are no accidents, you can live for a few decades, and within these decades, these stone tablets are the greatest guarantee for the people in the polder.

A large group of people in the "Zhizhou ......" were in tears again.

"You don't need to thank me, I just came to Taiping Prefecture and said that as a local official, I am a parent official, and I am not qualified to be a parent of you, but I can try my best to be a conscientious official, a fair official, and give you a better life. Don't cry, listen to me one more thing. Half a year ago, I wanted to say, considering that your life was very hard at the time, did not say it, and soon received it in autumn, and it was time to say, in addition to food, you can raise more pigs, chickens, ducks and geese, not only to increase your income, but also to increase the source of fertilizer. The official sent a small official to contact some good varieties back, you can check the accounts, if you are not at ease, you can also buy it yourself. If you are relieved of the officials, the heads of each household will count the villagers and hand over the number to the officials. ”

Maybe it won't be cheap, but the variety will be better than what the villagers buy blindly.

The Song people were also very particular about this, and even bought sheep from the north to the south, and cultivated new breeds of Taihu sheep in the Taihu Lake Basin, so that the sheep, a livestock from the north, were moved to the south.

He also said: "By next year, everything will be certain, and I will give you another surprise." ”

"What surprise?"

"The official is arranging something, there is something to tell you, sugar cane, but you have too much land, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep busy." Zheng Lang shook his head again.

Especially the double-cropping rice, which tired a few women to the point of heat stroke, if it wasn't for his own precautions and sent a few doctors to be stationed in the polder, he might have died. I don't dare to mention the matter of the school at all, as long as it is a **-year-old child, all the parents will drag it to the field to work. Study, where is the time?

"Zhizhou, we can be busy...... said an old man.

Zheng Lang smiled bitterly, and immediately gave them another hundred acres of land, which can also be said to be busy, and no matter what, it is to be promoted anyway. Standing up and wanting them to disperse, several elders glanced at each other, and an old man said carefully: "Zhizhou, there is one more thing I want to ask the little ones about." ”

"Say."

"That errand ......" The old man was not very kind, just now he said that he could be busy, and now he said that he was an errand officer.

However, they are very worried that the champion Zhizhou is fine, once the Zhizhou is changed, after another three or four years, nine or five out of ten of their families will become fourth-class households, one out of ten will become third-class households, and more than twenty percent of people will be hit by arrows, and their own land will be too busy, exhausted, and they will be forced to do it.

The elderly are better, just in the polder, and they will not be disturbed more than a dozen times a year, even if they are disturbed, they are not very far, although they are delayed, they will not be delayed too much, if they are sent to other places, what should the family do?

Zheng Lang frowned, not only did many people kneel down last year, but this year there were people who asked for it. But he shook his head and said, "I'll try my best to find a way, it's a big deal, it's the imperial court system, and I don't dare to be your master." ”

Still no reply was given, and the crowd dispersed.

Back on the ship, the two Zhizhou boats also went to Taiping Prefecture with him, and they would not go back immediately because of the rare public funds for travel.

Cui Xian, sitting on the boat, said: "Officials, it is the ...... of the people"

The eldest lady asked in confusion: "What did the people say?" ”

Errand servants are errand servants, Zheng and Zhou also have them, why do you ask for your own son?

"Auntie, some people want to use money instead of errand service, and the court will use money to hire someone to pay for the errand, and there will be no delay."

"It seems good."

"It's good, but it's not good if it continues. Xian'er, let's not discuss this matter, as soon as the two wei come out, many people look sideways, first stabilize the political performance, and now we can deal with it in my Taiping Prefecture, and then discuss this matter in a year or two years. Even if someone picks peaches, the stall is too big, and no one dares to come over, it will be hot at this time. ”

"Official, you are getting more and more coarse......" A few mothers-in-law were there, Cui Xian didn't have a disdainful word to say, and she flattered her eyes.

When I returned to Taipingzhou, I had just arranged the two governors, and the imperial edict was issued again.

With Xiaoqing, the speed is fast, so Wang Zhaode and Cao Xiumu used it to pass on the twists and turns.

Zheng Lang said to the officials: "Let Xiaoqing run slowly." ”

This is a horse given to me by the old lady, not a horse of the court, don't take it seriously.

Running slower, Xiaoqing will grow into an adult horse at this time, and he can still run for more than 200 miles a day.

But this time it was Zheng Lang's twist. The autumn harvest is coming, what should I do after the autumn? I don't ask the court for food money, at least support my manpower.

After Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng watched it, they didn't speak for most of the day, they really didn't support the financial resources, and once the taxes in Taiping Prefecture were gone for a few years, how much money was there? When you ask the court for it, you write a recital, and when you don't ask for it, you can't see what kind of recital. I was very depressed, but I had to discuss, I didn't discuss it in the Chinese book, and went directly to the court to discuss.

Not only were the two of them slightly dissatisfied, but other ministers, including Du Yan, were also a little dissatisfied.

Zheng Lang's intentions are good, and he can't be put on the court, and it may be that after Zheng Lang leaves office, things will not be done well.

However, Zheng Lang broke the rules, you can do such a big thing, doing it well is a political achievement, if you don't do it well, what should the 30,000 households in Taiping Prefecture do? Even if you have the talent and confidence to do this, if other states learn from you and don't have the talent, what will be the consequences?

Du Yan and others consider it from the system, some people's intentions are not very pure, and now Zheng Lang has reached the time for them to taste!

It's just that this is a big point, and this political achievement has been made, and it will be a few years away...... I dare not imagine.

But Zheng Lang's practice of not leaking water made them unable to find a loophole for a while, so they had to endure it.

Under the minds of all the people, there was this edict.

First of all, Zheng Lang was asked to count all the grain harvested in the two autumns, the total output and taxes. Zheng Lang has no objection to this, and the governors of other states are also waiting for this data, the officials below want their political achievements, and the bigwigs above want to refer to it.

The second order was to send 20,000 people from 15 counties in seven prefectures, including Zhenzhou, and 20,000 laborers to assist Taiping Prefecture in governing Zhuwei, and the money and grain were on par with the local people in Taiping Prefecture. I didn't ask how much to give, how much to give to the people of Taiping Prefecture, and how much to give them. But you don't have to think about it, it won't be thin, last year it was dozens of acres of fertile land, can it be thin this year? I didn't mention that state came out, I know better. It's all red-eyed, I'll support you with manpower, and I want to pay the bills for you out of my pocket.

Zheng Lang had no objections, he had already prepared it.

The strange thing is that the third order, Song Zhen, a scholar of Hanlin, Jia Changchao, a storyteller of Chongzheng Palace, and Cai Xiang of the Zhiyuan sent 6,000 families of Hebei refugees to be resettled in Taiping Prefecture.

The Yellow River burst its banks and divided into three channels into the sea, which had a great impact, and the river surface was so wide, almost less than one meter and one acre of land became a river, and a few rivers flooded how much arable land? Since last year, they have been settling down, and they have not settled down until this year, and there are nearly 10,000 families who either work for a short time or rely on the relief of the imperial court. Isn't there a shortage of labor in Taiping Prefecture? Suo surnamed 6,000 households for you to solve, besides, there are so many polders, what is the problem of relocating 6,000 households?

Therefore, Zheng Lang's opinion was not respected at all, the court cut first and then played, and the cooperation of the three people and local officials drummed everywhere that Jiangnan is good, rich and oily, and where is Zheng Zhuangyuan, he will immediately build many large polders, and a family can get dozens of acres of good land, and can harvest hundreds of stones of rice a year. It was preached, and the people heard about it. So they flocked in, originally 6,000 households, but they became nearly 7,000 households, and hundreds of households were not homeless, but they couldn't get by, and they also pretended to be homeless people and rolled in.

The three of them didn't see it well, so they reported it to the court, and a few bigwigs discussed it, it doesn't matter if there are hundreds of more households, let's bring it together. So many ships were sent and set off for Taiping Prefecture in a mighty way. The treasury was still empty, and almost only food was given to the road, and the people were allowed to go on the road.

It's not bad, I said hello to Zheng Lang in advance, so I could prepare.

Zheng Lang looked at the edict and jumped up.

First of all, people are not right.

The imperial court is kind-hearted, Da Song is an honest man and a talented man, Jia Changchao is also a talented man, he has a deep knowledge of scriptures, and writes a good calligraphy, not to mention Cai Xiang, don't look at Zheng Lang's calligraphy at this time, it is really compared with Cai Xiang, it will not be high, at most it is similar. As for who is high and who is low in the end, it depends on their future efforts, Zheng Langsong is loose, and there may not be Cai Xiang's achievements.

Three big talents are very satisfied with your little talent? More than 6,000 households have a very important matter, it is not worth sending a prime minister, and the level of officials cannot be small, and three middle-level officials are in charge, which is in line with the system.

It's this talent that will cause problems. Da Song is an honest person, Zheng Lang likes it, it doesn't matter if he doesn't act, he won't come to drag his hind legs, Cai Xiang has an occasional seizure, and he is also a loyal person, so he will be fine if he comes over. But there will be a problem in the middle, a big problem. Shi Jie: They are the sun, and the heat is frightening, while Jia Changchao is cold and frightening, and the feminine is also terrifying.

The way is not right, they can't advocate so well, what conditions do they have to let them enter a well-off life immediately?

But the three talented people have no choice but to do it on their own, otherwise, who wants to leave their hometown and go to such a far place?

In the end, there were nearly seven households, how many people, Zheng Lang skipped over, howled sadly, and said, "Immediately let all the officials come together to discuss the matter!" ”

Grandma's, isn't it that I've been exposed to the light of the imperial court's taxes for a few years? Don't play like this!
