The water began to flow downstream, and Zheng Lang said to Zhao Zhen: "No matter what you see next, Your Majesty, don't worry, take precautions in advance, and there will be no major problems." ,!”

Zhao Zhen's health is too bad, in case of a hurry, a hurry to get sick, it is not what Zheng Lang wants to see.

Zhao Zhen's forehead.

Most of the water continued to flow to the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and part of it began to pour into the Liuta River, in order to make the Liuta River more eye-catching, Zheng Lang made it red, until the water poured in, everyone discovered a secret, these dansha pigments began to dissolve with the arrival of the river. But this time, the direction of the river's flow in the Six Towers River began to become clear.

At the end, the water began to flow backwards, but the upstream water continued to rush, so that it formed a circle of whirls in the Liuta River. Some ministers know a little about water conservancy, and have already seen the harm of its 733 chapters, and this roundabout formation will cause great obstacles to the embankment.

As a result, some people stared nervously at Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo.

Fuwen and the others finally frowned.

But the harm is not only here, now it is the model, it is the person pouring water, the water flow is large and small, in reality, the water flow is the same, the Yellow River water flow can not be equal. Therefore, as the flow of water in the Liuta River increases, the water level reaches its peak. The river water in the upper reaches of the river descended, so it rushed to the outside of the Yellow River, that is, to Shanghu.

That's deadly!

The river flows northeastward, forming a 90-degree corner, and the water flows here, which will cause great harm to the embankment. Now in addition, the water of the Liuta River is poured back, and the two sides are agitated, and the river has a large amount of water for a while, which pushes the water level back to the Liuta River, and the river water drops for a while, and the river water rushes to Shanghuxi. As the flow of the river increases, the back and forth wave force is strengthened, and finally the embankments on both sides of Shanghu are washed away, and the river flows to the plains of Lanzhou and Daimyofu.

Here comes the big problem!

Fu Bi suddenly sat down in his chair and didn't speak for a long time.

Wen Yanbo asked in a trembling voice: "Xingzhi, there is a solution." ”

"Kuanfu, the original design of the six or seven hundred and thirty-three chapters of the Ta River was to bind the water and store water, so the terrain chosen is relatively special, I have seen it on the spot, and I can't get through the Six Ta River." That is, if you want to rescue, you can't open up the Liuta River and the Yellow River downstream. Even if it can, it is also a failure, the upstream and downstream are connected, and there is no water storage effect, what is this nearly 20 million yuan and 300,000 people who have worked for half a year to do?

Ouyang Xiu asked, "Then which strategy is better for the Yellow River to flow east or north?" ”

Finally asked.

Since it can't be stored, let's sparse it.

Zheng Lang had already prepared for this, and took a map, but he couldn't make a larger model, so he could only use the map color to represent Haipao, and said: "Dongliu will be defeated." ”

"What's the explanation?" Cheng Jian asked.

The eastward flow is the opinion of the vast majority of ministers, and all the strategies that have emerged now are conceived on the basis of the eastward flow.

"Everyone looks at these colors, the greener the lower the terrain, the more yellow the terrain is," Zheng Lang said, pointing to the map: "The eastward flow is from Jingdong Road into the sea, but there are many mountains and hills on both sides, the terrain is high, the upper reaches of the Yellow River are damaged by water and soil, and the river sand content is large, even if Huā pays a lot of money to build a new river, the riverbed will be raised again in a short time, and it will not even take five years for the riverbed to be raised." The water flows to a low place, this is watery, the east water flow is not smooth, and it must find a way out by itself, so where is it lower, it will break the embankment to the north! ”

It is still useless to govern the river in the east.

There was some hope in Ouyang Xiu's eyes, but when it came to military affairs, he couldn't say it clearly.

Zheng Lang glanced at him and said, "Beiliu is also not good!" ”

Don't get your hopes up, you're wrong.

continued: "First, the military, after the Yellow River burst and diverted in Hebei, many lakes turned into plains and lost their military role. If the Yellow River flows north, the flux is also very small, and it has to bear the impact of many rivers from the Taihang Mountains. If the Shuhe River is flushed with sand, the river surface is small, and the water flow of the Yellow River and Taihang cannot be carried during the flood season, and Hebei will be flooded many times. And once the river is not smooth, it will find its own way out into the sea. Jingdong Road is not good, Hebei Road is not good, then it will go to this place. ”

Follow the Surabaya and Bianhe rivers to the Huai River.

What is the Yellow River, a giant man weighing a thousand catties, what is the Huai River, a little lady weighing seventy catties, the Yellow River is pressed on the Huai River...... Don't cry, little girls, it's possible that if you press in front, the little girls will fart.

If this happens, the whole thing will be chaotic, whether it is Hebei Road, or Jingdong Road, or Lianghuai Road is the economic center of gravity of the Song Dynasty, the top priority.

In fact, the Northern Song Dynasty realized the harm of the north flow and the flooding of Hebei's economy, and had seen it, so it naturally did not want to flow north, so it was tied to the east flow many times, but there were many times that the embankment was broken, and it was decided to flow north, and finally the riverbed rose, and the east flow was impassable, and the north flow was impassable, and he entered the Huai River. Then, from the end of the Northern Song Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, the Huai River was sad, and even floods spread to the Hezhou and Wuwei army areas near the Yangtze River. In the second year of Longxing, Shouchun, Lu, He, Wuwei, and Guangshu Prefectures became a swamp and a vast ocean for thousands of miles. In the fifteenth year of Chunxi, Lu, Hao, Chu, Wuwei, Anfeng, Gaoyou, and Xuyi were flooded again, and Lushe, polders, crops, and military bases were emptied. And many, many more.

Water damage, soldier damage, Jianghuai and Liangzhejiang were the most economically developed areas in the Song Dynasty, and finally there was a pitiful scene, and the people used slash-and-burn farming methods. A land of thousands of miles, rarely populated.

Of course, the monarch has not imagined that scene yet.

But what Zheng Lang said made everyone feel very worried.

Zheng Lang said again: "Uncle Yong is right, if you want to govern the Yellow River, you have to rule it, and there is no way to steal tricks." ”

"But it takes a lot of money," Fu Bi sighed.

It's not one money or two dollars, if Zheng Lang's idea is finally chosen, 150 million yuan is considered a small amount, and more than 200 million yuan can still be piled up on this bottomless pit.

Zheng Lang said: "Since Nong Zhigao's rebellion, how much money has been allocated by the Liangguang and Lianghu courts? Did the imperial court lack money because of this? Moreover, if you want to control the Yellow River, it is not an overnight effort, it will take several years to complete, and there is a buffer process of money and silk. When I was in the Six Towers River, I had an idea. ”

"Say," Zhao Zhen said suddenly.

If there was a problem with the Liuta River, he was also at fault, and Wen Fu and the others consulted him, and he was not ill at that time, and he was very conscious, so he agreed.

"First of all, the bank's money can no longer be used, if it is operated carefully, the benefits of the bank, coupled with the surplus of the imperial court, can increase the deed shares by 20%, and enlarge the bank to more than 40 states."

"If this is the case, it can envelop the entire economy of the Song Dynasty, why is it only two percent of the deed shares," Wang Gongchen, the third envoy, asked.

"Banks are not only for profit, but also for the convenience of the people, because the people have surplus money in their homes, because the bank will no longer be buried in the ground, so that the circulation of gold, silver and copper coins is lacking, and also makes some large families transfer the surplus money from the annexed land, reducing and alleviating the country's polarization and the resentment of the poor people. It is conducive to the borrowing of merchants and the revitalization of the country's economy, and it can also enable the people to reduce the borrowing of usury from profiteers when there is a lack of economy, and eventually fall deeper and deeper. Therefore, in the end, banks are not only large state capitals, but also universal to every state, every county, and even every big town. It's only sixty states, and I can't say that it occupies 30% of the deed shares. But Zheng Lang did not say that the bank will eventually get bigger and bigger, but the profit will fall.

Once it becomes a behemoth, bad debts, bad debts, false debts, and corruption and bribery may far exceed that of future generations. The ratio of investment to profit to income is declining.

You know, you won't say.

He continued: "But there is a precipitation process, once it expands to nearly 60 states, the annual income will exceed 20 million yuan, and at that time, the Liangguang and Jinghu South Road will also increase part of the income, and if you are careful for the country, there will be more surpluses in a year." In a few years, the strategy I have described to harness the Yellow River will be implemented. Once the Yellow River is successfully controlled, the imperial court will only have the short board of the four roads of Kuixia, at least the local government can truly achieve great governance. At that time, further correcting some shortcomings will be stronger and richer than the rule of Wenjing, and the Western Xia and Khitan will no longer be stumbling blocks to the imperial court. ”

After constructing a beautiful blueprint, he said: "And because the big households hold more and more deed shares, the court is honored, the court is humiliated, they are humiliated, and they will also cooperate with the country, if there are new strong neighbors in the north, when the south invades, there will be more powerful families who take the initiative to cooperate with the country to resist the invasion." Internal governance is not lost, and I am stable. ”

The monarchs and ministers did not know about this new powerful neighbor.

However, I know that once it is like what Zheng Lang said, there will be more powerful and big families, which will be screwed together with the imperial court, which will be conducive to the rule of the country.

Zheng Lang released it in advance, first, there is a plan, otherwise it will be very chaotic after the accident of Liuta River. The second is to give some Haoqiang a hope, the economy is becoming more and more developed, and they have more and more money in their hands, don't invest in the land, keep it, and buy this deed stock.

This is like in later generations, when there is too much money, there is no place to put it, so you have to invest in real estate, forming a vicious circle. If we protect intellectual property rights and invest in R&D? Or invest in new energy? In this process, the state has to guide them. After all, the vision is different, what does the businessman know, and he is in the bureau, and he doesn't know the true face of Lushan.

However, Wen Yanbo was silent.

Zheng Lang made a show, but it was only a model, and it was not convincing enough.

Glancing at him, Zheng Lang knew that Wen Yanbo would not give up if he couldn't reach the Yellow River, and he didn't expect to pass immediately, so he changed the topic and said to Jia Changchao: "Jia Xianggong, this time you know my intention to ask Kuanfu to recall you back to the capital, right?" ”

It's not to warn you to use small means, but to be prepared for support.

This year, either there will be no accident in the Liuta River, and if something happens, it will be a big event, and Lanzhou and the Daimyo Mansion will bear the brunt.

Prepare now, or many people will drown.

How to prepare, Zheng Lang didn't say any more, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi did a little selfish this time, but they were not an evil prime minister.

asked the subordinate to move the model away, and brought a resignation letter, and handed it to Wen Yanbo: "Kuanfu, if you do something wrong, you will be punished, and everything will be one thing, I don't have the slightest idea about you, please allow me to dismiss." ”

No matter how Zheng Lang explained, it made Wen Yanbo feel embarrassed.

Zhao Zhen suddenly said: "Quasi-play." ”

Everyone was amazed.

Quasi-resignation is good for Zheng Lang, and he wants people to know about it, unless he does it. Sooner or later, people will faintly guess about it.

Although it is difficult to say, could someone risk the world's disapproval and act as a Bao Qingtian, or a detective Di Renjie, investigate all the suspicions in the past, and reveal the truth bit by bit? Is there that ability to find out after more than ten or twenty years have passed, do you dare to say it? When Tang Kun appeared, he may not dare to investigate and dare to say.

can eventually have some impact on Zheng Lang's reputation, and resigning from some important official positions in the body is tantamount to punishment in disguise, and it is also tantamount to letting everyone automatically expose this matter in disguise.

The truth is still unknown to anyone.

But Zhao Zhen's actions made many people have wrong reveries.

Zheng Lang was going back.

There are three things to do when I return to Beijing, one is to inform Zhao Zhen, the second is the Liuta River, and the third is the northwest, all of which have been done and cannot stay in the capital any longer. But he stayed for three days, went to the Ordnance Superintendent, and because it was very dangerous, moved some of the test areas outside the city.

Zheng Lang personally instructed Shi Heng and the craftsmen.

In the evening of the next day, Zheng Lang asked Zhao Zhen to summon him into the inner palace again.

The eunuch brought some boxes, and Zhao Zhen asked the eunuch to go down and said, "Here are some clothes, jewelry, and luggage of the slaves, you can bring them back to Tanzhou." ”

"Yes" Zheng Lang looked at Zhao Zhen, because his daughter was safe, his mood improved, his complexion also improved, and he gradually recovered. Said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence in his heart that he wants to say. ”

"Say it."

"All these things that happened in the south were caused by the lack of self-love. If the ministers love themselves, do not act bravely, act according to His Majesty's instructions before going south, and bring more guards on their sides, Zhang Pingmeng and Western Xia will not have covetousness. Even if His Highness goes to Huixi City, His Highness and His Highness will not be in danger. There will be no follow-up. ”

"Zhongye" Zhao Zhen said: "Be careful in the future." ”

"How dare the minister be careless? A gentleman can die for morality and the country, but he deserves to die, and if he dies in that cave, it is not worth it. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled.

"The minister has reflected, but what about Your Majesty?"

"I?"

"National disasters are not necessarily caused by God's dissatisfaction, but by a variety of reasons. Your Majesty's kindness to your people is the greatest piety and the best prayer. However, His Majesty did not hesitate to be stingy many times, braved the rain to leap upwards, and danced barefoot in the atrium in the bitter cold. This is not piety, but masochism. Your Majesty has something to do, what about the country, what about the people? Take a look at how much has happened in the country in the past few months because His Majesty has been seriously ill? If you look at it, will you like it? ”

Zhao Zhen was dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, can you call Shi Zhicong, Shi Quanbin, Deng Baoji, Wu Jilong and other chamberlains?"

"What?"

"Call them to them, the minister has something to say to them."

Zhao Zhen agreed, and several big eunuchs brought it, and Zheng Lang said slowly: "Your Majesty, the Yin and Yang of the I Ching are not Yin and Yang, but refer to the positive and negative sides. One positive and one negative, properly reconciled, is the Thai hexagram, if the reconciliation is improper, it is not a hexagram. Yin and yang should be reconciled, positive and negative should be reconciled, rigidity and softness should be reconciled, wide and fierce should be reconciled, and movement and stillness should also be reconciled. Running around too much is not good for your health, but Jingji is not good for your body either. ”

To say that life is in motion,. Athletes rarely live long, and exercising excessively is equally inappropriate. But it's even worse if you don't exercise. This is not feasible now, and can only be explained by the movement and stillness of the I Ching. It's more esoteric, but it makes sense now.

Zhao Zhen had to admit it with his forehead.

"Several managers, in the future, if Your Majesty is in your spare time, you will help Your Majesty to relax in the Imperial Garden, pacing a few steps, walking a hundred steps after dinner, and living a long life of ninety-nine, which will help Your Majesty's body. Also, you can't trick Your Majesty into learning Yang Guang's extravagance, but you have to wear warm clothes, eat meals, and cook a bowl of soup for Your Majesty when you stay up late at night. No matter how economical the state is, it cannot save this amount of money. If Your Majesty prays in the rain or goes barefoot in the snow, you must drag Your Majesty back. ”

"We have persuaded you, but Your Majesty will not listen."

"If you don't listen, you have to do it." Zheng Lang said viciously.

Zhao Zhen just smiled and said, "Zheng Qing, I know." ”

It has nothing to do with Mei, it can be regarded as half a family, half a son-in-law, and it is okay to take care of your own health.

Zheng Lang left the palace and went back.

A small yellow door came to the house again, and whispered to him: "Zheng Xianggong, this is a letter from the princess of my family." ”

handed it to Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang's eyes were stunned, and he signed three words: Gao Tao.

I opened it and took a look, and I agreed to see him tomorrow at Xiangguo Temple, and I had something to say to him.

Zheng Lang frowned, Zhao Zhen's illness, another thing has surfaced, the crown prince! It's very disgusting to Gao Taotao's approach, why is the monkey in a hurry? After thinking about it, I still endured it, and others didn't mention it, this high surging wisdom is there, but the degree of stubbornness is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. See what she has to say.

At noon the next day, Zheng Lang came to Xiangguo Temple, Gao Taotao's identity was not Zhao Niannu, and he needed to avoid it, but it was not so serious. She was entering the incense, and inadvertently passed by, and seeing that there was no one else, Zheng Lang said, "The minister has seen the princess." ”

I don't know Gao Taotao, but I know Xiao Huangmen, who delivered the letter last night. It's a very beautiful one, but Zheng Lang is not interested in this, and stares at Gao Tao calmly.

"No courtesy," Gao said.

"Princess, what should be yours is yours, what is not yours is not yours. Your Majesty is not kind to you, do not let him down, on the contrary, it will be self-defeating. Knowing that she would dominate the world in the future, Zheng Lang still admonished.

Gao Tao smiled and said: "What is going on outside has nothing to do with us, you want to deviate, it was the scholars and doctors who made it themselves, please believe it." ”

It's strange to believe.

Gao Tao said again: "I asked you to come, not as you thought, because I have had a tacit relationship with Her Royal Highness the princess since I was a child, and I have been very worried since her disappearance. But now that a stone has fallen to the ground, Zheng Xianggong, she has to taste her wish, and by the way, I will say hello to her for me. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zheng Lang slyly. Okay, good, it's a smelly and hard stone, I didn't expect my cousin to be able to drill a crack, miracle, miracle.

Zheng Lang's face changed dramatically. (To be continued.) !!
