Zhao Zhen's face was cloudy and turned cloudy, but he didn't say anything.

His surname Ge is softer than Zheng Lang, and if you talk about belly, it may be bigger than Zheng Lang. For example, he mentioned the Guo family again to the second child, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang more than two months ago, which made him very annoyed, but now he looks at them, but he has a smile on his face. In fact, in the past few days, his little anger has already reached the clouds.

But that doesn't mean he's not smart.

If he is not smart, and then with his surname, the Song Dynasty will have to do something.

Needless to say, it is possible that the cousin of Uncle Hachiwang's family was involved. It was not easy to speak, and said: "Zheng Qing, I know it in my heart. Go ahead. ”

There was no mention of consent, nor of disagreement.

But after returning to the palace, he immediately sent someone to Shangcai County to check, can this still be found?

So he ordered that all these five sons be forcibly pulled back to the capital!

The sky outside was very gloomy, and Sima Guang asked puzzledly, "Champion, why did you say it directly?" ”

"Why can't you just say it?"

Sima Guang meditated carefully, and said after a while: "I know, it's right to do this." ”

It is not a pity in Gao Ya, but several sons are headaches. They have no real power, but their status is very noble, and as courtiers, they should show polite respect. It's just a few people wrapped together, which is not good for Zheng Lang, how can Zheng Lang help them? When he said it, he seemed open-minded, no matter whether these princes had any plans with Gao Yanei, anyway, as the princes, it was not right to live in a minister's house. Anyone else is concerned, besides, what else does Zheng Lang have now besides his false name?

After saying it, it will be handed over to the little emperor to deal with, just like a child who was beaten by his brother, can you ask a few people from outside to beat his brother back, or use a small knife to stab his brother in the back. The most rational thing to do is to tell your parents and ask them to make their own decisions.

"So I said, we are still young, learning to observe, it is the cultivation stage, the growth stage, and this stage takes the initiative to avoid disasters...... "Some Zheng Lang didn't say, to be honest, he didn't want to provoke this Zhao Yunrang. Why bother, that Zhao Shu can't be regarded as a real bad emperor in the future, but his head is very abnormal...... "Yes." ”

began to let the second elementary school buy books, Taiping Prefecture is not a big state, there are not many products, and there are also very few books. If you want to fix a book, you must bring enough books with you so that you can find them. There are still a few children to study, and even more need books. Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone don't need to be in a hurry, you can just take it.

Then he said to Lu Gongzhu: "Your Majesty, I have been summoned, it is very likely that the book will be issued in these two days, you say to your father, I will give him two gifts, but also bring me a word, he is the prime minister, you must have the belly of the prime minister, the utilitarian heart can not be too heavy, you can't fight for power, open a river of party struggle." ”

Lu Gong's face flushed.

The matter is divided into two parts, there must be a court dispute, and it cannot be avoided in that era, but it is not as serious as the party dispute. For example, the current dispute between Lu and Li is a kind of court dispute, and everyone is fighting harder, but they will not delay major national affairs because of this.

The result of the party struggle, that is, what you are for, I will definitely oppose, and what you oppose, I will definitely agree, how harmful will it be?

Later, Fan Zhongyan couldn't be blamed entirely, Lu Yijian first had seven injuries and fists, and then the wedding dress was magical, so the ministers protected themselves, Fan Zhongyan forced him again, the more he forced the ministers to protect themselves, and the more Fan Zhongyan forced him. The partisan struggle began. Fan Zhongyan definitely didn't want this result.

No one dares to doubt his heart! No one dares to doubt his character!

Lu Yijian also doesn't want it, he is greedy for power, loves power, and is still a prime minister who does practical things, and he doesn't want to bring the Song Dynasty to a bad road. But it was the Fan-Lu controversy that gradually split the Wenchen of the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Lang could only say this, and then took out two pieces of paper from his luggage.

One is the formula of black powder, the formula of black powder in the Song Dynasty is slightly better than that of the Tang Dynasty, but the formula is still messy and not very powerful. That is, the formula of black powder is accurate, the ingredients are pure, and the power is still not great. But at least it can be used for quarrying, logging and blasting in mines.

This is the most correct formula.

It is possible that because of the impurity of the raw material refining, the power decreases, and even the impurity of the raw material also affects the proportion of ingredients. But it is definitely several times more powerful than the current black powder.

I don't know what the impact will be, it seems that the formula gradually became more accurate in the later Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is not easy to compare, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty also used weapons made of black powder to fight against the Ming army, but cold weapons still dominated. It will probably work, but it will not play the role of an absolute surname.

This is the positioning given by Zheng Lang.

After the formula, he deliberately wrote about it, and then said, don't leak it.

deliberately reminded that in fact, the Song Dynasty was very strict with some housekeeping weapons, such as the Divine Arm Crossbow, even if all of them were killed in battle, the crossbow must be destroyed before death, so that the enemy could not know how it was made. But it still passed into the hands of Yuan Jin.

Again, it is noted that the special name of its explosion is the air pressure generated by the violent explosion, which is where its power lies. Therefore, when blasting, it must be sealed, and the sealed gunpowder must be ignited with a lead, so that its power can be exerted tenth.

The second picture is the divine arm crossbow, Zheng Lang clearly marked some of its key surnames, the bow body is three feet long, the string length is two feet five, with the mountain mulberry as the body, the sandalwood as the bow, the iron as the gun breech, the steel as the machine, the hemp rope as the string, the silk as the string, the shooting three hundred steps, through the heavy za. And I drew an imaginary picture.

Lu Gong didn't quite understand this, and the bed crossbow also reached this range, or even farther.

But if you give it to Lu Yijian, you will know its power, the bed crossbow is made by many people, and the body is bulky, but this crossbow is made by a single person, as long as the strength is strong, it can be opened.

However, Zheng Lang deliberately pointed out that in order to achieve this range, a specific mechanism was needed, and he did not expect it.

This is the repeated proof of later generations to confirm this matter.

According to the style of the imaginary picture, it will definitely not reach this range, and if it is well made, it will be a slightly more powerful stepping horse at most. In addition to this, it should have a part composed of wheels and gears, so that it can reach a range of 450 meters, and it can also penetrate heavy armor.

I don't know what this part will look like, but if the power of black powder is successful, the imperial court will inevitably send more craftsmen to research and develop.

He can't imagine it, but there will be craftsmen who can. Moreover, the history of its original appearance was a few decades later, in the era of the Divine Sect.

Zheng Lang also said its original shortcomings, although the range is long, but it needs a strong arm to pull it apart, and the accuracy is not large, when facing the enemy, it is not fast, not as light as the ordinary strong crossbow of the Song Dynasty.

But it was still very powerful, and at one point it caused a serious sense of fear among the Jinren.

Lu Yijian got these two pieces of paper and didn't know how heavy they were.

This is not what the prime minister did, but Zheng Lang said it very solemnly, so he handed it over to Wang Deyong, and Wang Deyong handed it over to the relevant officials to test it.

There is a workshop for the study of gunpowder in the city of Tokyo, which belongs to one of the eleven orders of the Ordnance Prison, and the sulfur used in the gunpowder production is imported from the book, and each has a system for manual production.

However, it still spread, and the Khitan people did not know what means they used, obtained the gunpowder formula and related weapons, and paraded artillery in Yanjing to show off their power to the Song people. The Song Dynasty had no choice but to be an attacked ostrich again, and passively bought sulfur and flame nitrate in the forbidden field.

But something happened.

I don't know how heavy the gunpowder is, but it is still produced according to the original gunpowder production process, but the proportions have changed, and the outside is sealed with layers of thick oily hemp paper.

The three ingredients are ready-made, and the hemp paper is also ready-made, and when you get the formula, it takes less than half an hour to get it.

Zheng Lang is also considered to be his own relative, and Wang Deyong pulled the other two bigwigs of the Privy Council, Cai Qi and Li Shi to gunpowder together. Although this thing is "safety gunpowder", it is only relatively safe, so it is located outside the city, and not far from the place where the Yan family inn is located.

The three bigwigs arrived, and the officials inside were even more nervous. I don't know the origin of the formula, but it came from Wang De's hand, so I naturally have to behave well.

So I added another amount, more than 200 catties, wrapped in layers of hemp paper.

To test the power, dig a shallow pit in the ground and cover it with some floating mud, leaving a lead.

Several bigwigs were talking, and the young eunuchs of the ordnance superintendent, the chief officer, and the minor officials made of gunpowder were accompanied.

Cai Qi asked puzzledly: "Xianggong Wang, why did you pull us here to observe?" ”

"It's the recipe given by Lu Yijian."

"Lu Xianggong, where did he come from Yaxing?"

"It's not that he has Yaxing, it's the recipe written by the champion, and he asked his son to bring it to him, and he said it carefully, so I pulled you over to see how powerful it was."

"Zheng Jiazi."

"Hmm."

A few bigwigs didn't take it seriously, this is called professional mismatch, it's gunpowder, it's not Confucianism, you can toss it as you want. But the formula of the champion always has to be seen. Don't wait for a while, it won't ring.

With gunpowder weapons, the power is very small, and it is not used much on the battlefield, which also causes several bigwigs to despise it.

The little official asked, "Can you cast it?" ”

"Let's go."

"A few ministers, it's better to stand farther away."

For the sake of performance, the amount is a bit much, and the place where it is buried now is only a hundred steps away, otherwise it is not clear to see. "Should" is fine, but caution is good.

The little official urged, and several big guys walked out again, about one hundred and fifty steps, all stopped, and then the little official commanded the craftsmen to evacuate, and they stood a little more apart, and the little official took out a tongue of fire and pointed it on the lead. He didn't know either, he wanted to take the lead, he wanted to observe, and a few big guys took a look and left. But if I want to continue research and development in the future, I must obtain first-hand information. So he stood seventy or eighty meters away and looked stupidly.

Wang Deyong saw him concentrated, and praised him: "This person is good." ”

Professionalism.

This is okay, but don't put so many portions, on the battlefield, more than two hundred catties, what to throw out? Or is it buried in the ground like this, and the enemy is stupid, standing still and watching you send someone to ignite the explosion?

If you want to test it, it is enough to use a small bag of more than ten catties.

The sad beginning began.

…… In the inn, the two children were talking to Zheng Lang.

Sima Guang asked: "Champion, why is Lu Xianggong's expression so serious when he mentions Wan Chunwei?" ”

"There is a reason in the middle, this wei is also called Qinjiawei, since the Taiping Xingguo period after the embankment, the imperial court has wanted to build many times, but it has not been built, because the controversy is very heavy. At this time, Taiping Prefecture was mostly lakes, and how much water surface was discharged as a polder, so that how large the water surface flood had no destination. When the summer and autumn flood season comes, the upstream water rises and the flood peak floods, which will cause flooding. The southwest of this wei is close to Jingshan, along the foothills of the embankment, the water of the Yangtze River can only flow through the mountain gorge, and when it is blocked, it will cause disasters in the east of Jingshan. Some people believe that the place where the polder passes through is a dragon lurking underneath, and this polder has been destroyed many times in the past because of this. After this polder was destroyed, it had the benefit of harvesting cocoons, which could feed more than 100 families, and once it became a polder, it would inevitably cause them to resist and be dissatisfied. There is a large lake in the southeast of this polder, and the embankment has been hit by wind and waves for a long time, and it is difficult to strengthen it for a long time. ”

"And what does it mean?" Wang Anshi asked with interest, did he believe that the teacher was a person who followed the clouds.

"Judging from this polder alone, there are two lakes in the north of this polder, which stretch for three or four hundred miles, which is enough to accommodate floods. And this wei is surrounded by swamp tidal flats, usually the beach is a mud is a ze, when the water is large, it can diffuse into a lake, the area is enough to have four or five times the size of Danyang Lake, enough to store water. It is connected to the Yangtze River to the west, and the flood discharge is very fast. Can you believe the dragon thing? The master said, don't mess around and blame God! However, it is possible that the polder water will pass through the embankment and form a waterhole over time, and the deeper the waterhole, the more the embankment will collapse. People were puzzled, so they thought that Jiaolong was making trouble, as long as a double embankment was built to guide the flow of water into the center of the river, the problem would be solved immediately. As for the people, Wei Yicheng can have tens of thousands of acres of cultivated land and hundreds of thousands of acres of cultivated land, and give them some cultivated land to live and work in peace and contentment, why do they oppose it? Therefore, it is not a big problem to build this polder. But that's not the problem. ”

"Where?" Wang Anshi said. In this regard, it can also be seen that he is different from Sima Guang and Lu Gongshu's surname, Lu Gongzhu listened quietly, Sima Guang was not very interested, he only cared about whether this matter could bring benefits to the country and Zheng Lang.

But as soon as Wang Anshi heard the water, he came to the spirit.

It is possible that the reason why he grew up in Jiangnan for a long time when he was a child is more familiar with this.

"The main thing is that there are many people, if I spend two or three hundred years in peace, I don't need to expand my territory, as long as I keep my territory intact, it is possible for the population to exceed 200 million trillion. There are so many people who want to open their mouths to eat. The more people there are, the more arable land is needed. will grab land and land everywhere. In the future, it is possible that all the swamps and tidal flats in Taiping Prefecture will be turned into polders, and even Danyang Lake will be turned into polders. Then when the flood comes, the destruction of the polder will happen from time to time. And it has lost its water storage function, and even in the south of the Yangtze River, there may be droughts. ”

"That's not good," Sima Guang said.

"It's not good, but you can see that the country is food short. Is it good to develop Hebei, Henan, and Shandong? Why did the Yellow River, Bianshui and Huai River have accidents again and again? The yield per mu of the expanded field is only more than two stones, but the polder can reach five stones. ”

"Champion, that's right. However, whoever sets a precedent will find trouble with whoever the speaker will find at that time. ”

This is what Zheng Lang is most unhappy about.

If you work hard, if you open up a few square Dawei in Taiping Prefecture and conjure up three or four thousand hectares of arable land, you can feed tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people, and pay 100,000 stone of grain and countless taxes for the imperial court a year, but as long as you make a little trivial, there will be ministers who will trouble you.

If you break the polder, you will definitely die, even if you don't die, the loss will be great, and the impeachment will begin!

These people's mouths will make you immortal.

"Let's see then," Zheng Lang shook his head and said: "It's not so simple, the height of the embankment, the width and speed of the water, the source of labor, the food money, etc., how many people in the court will oppose it......"

"Is that the split that the champion is talking about?"

"It's not a split, Wang Sanlang, since ancient times, our country has a long history, so infighting has become what we are best at. The imperial court had the trouble of punishing the predecessors and dividing the power layer by layer, which further aggravated the generation of this kind of infighting. But if it is not divided, the ministers will inevitably mislead the country. The example of the powerful ministers can't be opened, ......" Zheng Lang thought of Cai Jing again.

And this precedent of grasping the three powers of finance, military and government together is the precedent set by Wang Anshi for the sake of reform.

The restraint was too ruthless, and the surname Suo grabbed the rights together.

He is well-intentioned, but how many powerful ministers have such virtue as him?

"Wang Sanlang, the mean!" Sima Guang laughed.

"Alas, the mean has become bigger," Zheng Lang sighed, the bigger the book, the more difficult it became.

But fortunately, as long as it is not implemented in facts and words, most of these ministers don't care.

"But not Wei, there are others."

"What is it?"

"Merchant port! The Yangtze River function does not mention it. There are many big rivers here, Qingyi water runs through many areas of Xuanzhou, and even some areas of Shezhou and Chizhou, the other side of the river is the Weixu River, the Weixu River leads to Chaohu Lake, from Chaohu Lake to Luzhou from the water to Luzhou, and from Shushui to Shuzhou. The north bank of the Ran River is rich in mudflats because of the twists and turns of the mountain and the river, and it is inconvenient to set up a wharf, and only in Wuhu County can there be the best harbor. ”

In the Song Dynasty, it was not a shame to talk about commerce, and commercial taxes and official business and monopoly income were also the most important part of the huge financial revenue of the Song Dynasty. Even later, Chen Liang, the minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, was forced by the state finances to say bitterly: The saint's concern for the benevolent and righteous is to neglect his righteousness, and then to neglect his righteousness and say, if what is benevolent, if what is righteous, how can it be moved by empty words, humanity is so eary, and the rest is for people. And my friend Dai Xi Shaowang only thinks that the life of the rich man, and wants to rob it with empty words, his way is very left, and the rest is sad and can't solve it. Although, Shaowang's words are true and close to human feelings, but those who expect people are inevitably thin.

Although Dai Xi proposed that wealth is a person's surname, Bo is also true and close to human feelings. What Confucius said about the god of benevolence and righteousness, is it rhetoric, it is empty talk, can it be eaten as food? Therefore, profit is the material basis for the existence of righteousness, and it cannot be lacking.

Directly said that Confucius was wrong.

There are some subjective elements, not that Confucius is wrong, but that later generations blindly misinterpret it to the left, and Confucius also said that as long as I give me money, I will hold the bullwhip for others. There is also the so-called Qi family, what is the Qi family, not only to make the family stable, but at least to have a gentle life.

This statement is too intense.

In addition to property, people have other wealth, and spiritual wealth is also indispensable.

But in this context, as long as they don't regard money as their fate, the average scholar is not very averse to business.

This outline, before people go, has the general direction of the virgin land in Taiping Prefecture.

A few little eyes lit up, and Wang Anshi said: "What a lofty goal." ”

"The goal can be ambitious, but there is no desire for speed, no small profits, no speed is not reached, and small profits are not achieved by seeing big things."

"You know, for example, when you climb a mountain, the mountain gradually rises and looks far away, and then you take a step, you must look at its feet, on the contrary, the higher the mountain, the more dangerous it is for people." This sentence comes from Zheng Lang's "Treatise on the Qi Family".

"Exactly." Zheng Lang smiled, what else made Wang Anshi know that if he wanted to hurry, he would not be able to achieve it, and it would be more pleasant?

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and even the house shook and shook......
