Chapter 605: Ancient Wind (Part II)
Of course, Zheng Lang does not have any good feelings towards Yan Du, but admires his father very much, a character of Leonardo da Vinci, and taught Zheng Lang painting skills. However, the way of employing people cannot be based on likes and dislikes, and if you want to implement the farmland water conservancy law, you must have many talents who understand water conservancy.
There will be many officials who understand water conservancy talents, but Zheng Lang cannot have a golden finger, and he knows that all talents who understand water conservancy can only wait until they are implemented to discover them one by one. There are only a few people who remember, the first Fan Zhongyan, Fan Zhongyan is old, and it is impossible for Zhao Zhen to transfer Fan Zhongyan to the temple again.
It's not that he doesn't trust Fan Zhongyan, but someone else. Fan Zhongyan is too peaceful in the place, once he returns to the court, will the gentlemen unite into a party again? Even Zheng Lang himself didn't dare to guarantee the ticket.
The second is Ye Qingchen, Ye Qingchen can be used, but now Ye Qingchen is the third envoy, and it is impossible for him to go to the local government to preside over water conservancy affairs for the time being.
The Cheng Shimeng mentioned just now is one, and Yan Du is also one. But it can't be said that, Zheng Lang said slowly: "Yan Du used to be Chen Liuzhi County, it was a great drought, Du persuaded the township to produce 60,000 stones, and helped countless hungry people, and carried out the Baowu Law to detect thieves. ”
"Qing is attentive", Zhao Zhen praised.
In addition to Gewuxue, Zheng Lang's reforms were not imaginary, they were all new laws that were implemented by some predecessors and then improved. This is not the case, Zheng Lang's shoulders are far more than this era, but it can't be said that it is too demonic, so it is said that the armor protection method is inspired by Yan Du, the silting field method is inspired by Cheng Shimeng, and the Shushui sand flushing method is inspired by Zhang Rong, and so on.
continued: "Again, the year before last, the three divisions invited Hebei Salt, and wanted to change the Hebei Salt Law to specialize in trade, in order to increase the country's revenue, Wei Du and Zhang Fangping said, Sichuan Gorge does not drink wine Hebei does not ban salt, this ancestor follows the folk customs, and it is not easy to make a system (referring to the lack of jurisdiction of the imperial court on Zizhou Road and Kuizhou Road itself, and once the people are addicted to alcohol, it will cause turmoil. Hebei is close to the Khitan, smuggling is developed, once the salt, a large amount of Khitan salt flows into Hebei, the people suffer, the imperial court is not profitable, let the Khitan benefit). The former is the degree of adaptation, and the latter is the law. Although virtue is indebted, he knows the law, and he is a good official. The flood was huge, and it was precisely because such officials were needed to inspect that the imperial court could learn the real disaster. ”
The reason was said, Zhao Zhen sighed, what else could he say, and said, "Accurate." ”
Fast!
Driven by Zheng Lang, they all got up quickly and made an edict to let Yan Du go to inspect the disaster area.
The eunuch brought breakfast, a bowl of millet porridge, a boiled chicken, two pieces of bread, and a few plates of pickles.
After hastily eating breakfast, Zheng Lang said again: "The second is the resettlement of the victims, one is to work for disaster relief, and the other is for future peace. In the past few years, the imperial court used work for relief and built some water conservancy and roads, although it was effective, but it was very scattered, so the ministers had a discussion. ”
The number of victims this time is huge, and the specific number has not yet come up, but the place where the river flows north passes through the Daimyofu, Enzhou, Jizhou, Shenzhou, Yingzhou, and Yongjingjun states, not all the people of these states will be submerged, but the water level of the Yellow River is the highest peak, and the northward flow through these states only refers to the new river channel, and Hebei is mostly a plain area. There are nearly 120,000 households registered in the household department of the Daimyo Mansion, 400,000 people, the actual population will reach 7.8 million people, more than 40,000 households in Enzhou, more than 5 households in Jizhou, 70,000 households in Shenzhou, more than 20,000 households in Yingzhou, more than 20,000 households in Yongjingjun, and the total number of households will reach 350,000 households. Including some landlords. …,
The number of people affected will be as great as two million, and it will create two million people who are destitute.
There are worse consequences, after the drought, the field is still a field, the home is still a home, but after the embankment bursts, a new river channel with a length of more than 1,000 miles will be formed, and the width of the river embankment will be at least more than 1,000 meters, and it is possible that nearly 2 million acres of fertile land have become rivers and lakes!
The home is gone, and the land is gone!
This must be taken into account.
He continued: "Let's start with cash-for-work. ”
Zhao Zhen's forehead, there is no urgency, it depends on the location of the river, although some are flooded, they can still return home after the water recedes. It is imperative that these dispossessed victims be organized, otherwise there will be a revolt throughout the country in the past few years
"Focus on the management of the Zhanghe River, and then look at the situation of the victims, and repair the Hutuo River and the Yuhe River."
"Xingzhi, the Zhanghe River does not break in the east, but in the west, why bother to repair the labor and financial resources?" Wen Yanbo said.
The most serious flood in the Song Dynasty is the Yellow River, and the others are the Bianhe River, the Bianhe River is also often flooded, the two Zhejiang excessive enclosure of the fields and lakes caused by the autumn is becoming more and more serious, and the harm of the Huai River, especially the Yellow River has invaded the Huai River many times, at this time the Yellow River water flow is very large, as soon as it enters the Huai River, it is like a giant man of 400 catties pressed on the slender girl of 60 catties, the girl will be very unhappy, it is possible to be suffocated immediately, and the Huaihuai River is often flooded if it does not enter the Huaihuai River, and a major flood occurs 100% when it enters the Huaihuai River. There is also a place, that is, the Zhanghe River, this river originates in the Taihang Mountain, through the magnetic field state, the Zhouzhou, into the Jizhou and the Hulu River confluence, is a big river on the Hebei Road. The harm of this river is not small, there are five breaches in ten years, the density is far better than the Yellow River, but it is not as good as the flow of the Yellow River, but because it often bursts, the area along the river was originally fertile for thousands of miles, and now it has become more wasteland, and the people dare not cultivate. The government has also governed it, but it has not had much effect, as Wen Yanbo said, it has cured the east, and then there is an accident in the west. Healed the west, and the east came back.
Zheng Lang shook his head: "Kuanfu, the reason why the accident happened is that the Zhanghe River is the same as the big river, it is an above-ground river, and in the past, the river was blocked, and the embankment was raised to block the water, but the upstream woods were seriously damaged, and it was mixed with sediment and went down, and the height was increased by one foot, and the sediment was precipitated by one foot, and over time, it became a hanging river, so the number of embankments became more and more intensive." The first is to start from the source, protect the vegetation, close some sparsely populated mountains and forests, and do not cut them down, and the second is to open a new river. Your Majesty, do you have a map? ”
Zhao Zhen asked the eunuch to bring a map of Hebei Road.
Zheng Lang drew a route, that is, to reopen a new Zhangshui with a length of more than 300 miles. After finishing the painting, he said: "Reopening the new river, making it from an above-ground river to an underground river, although the people are many, the imperial court cannot implement it in normal years, but this year there will be millions of victims, and the labor to rebuild the new river is enough."
Although the imperial court spent some money, the construction of the Xinzhang River was successful, the people of several states benefited, and the wasteland became fertile land. ”
Wen Yanbo said: "Xingzhi, although the policy of silting the field can improve the soil, but the mud layer is too thin, I am afraid that it will not produce the effect you said, but will hurt the people." ”
In history, Wen Yanbo also used this excuse to oppose Wang Anshi, Zheng Lang thought that Wen Yanbo was a party struggle, and deliberately opposed it for the sake of opposition. It seems that it is not, this is a very quiet minister who does not like to move the people. Patience said: "Brother Kuanfu's water and soil damage has been very serious, in the next ten years, there will be one or three major flood years, I said that the former policy of controlling the river, the imperial court does not have so much money to implement, can only use my second policy, a large area of water into the field shortlisted, alleviate the water potential." The first strategy is to wash the salt brine with water potential, and the other is to accumulate fertile silt on the surface of the soil. A year of precipitation is certainly thin, but what if it is four or five times? ”…,
Wen Yanbo was very anti-authoritarian to Wang Anshi's changes, but he was not disgusted with Zheng Lang, so he didn't argue anymore.
"His Majesty recommended Cheng Shimeng to preside over this project. In addition, the peace and security of the disaster victims, many demon cult believers in the north, although bewitched by the king, the imperial court is also lenient, just in case, they must be taken out, transferred to the south to govern the imperial river, after the water subsides, you can follow the Taizu Taizong to move the people of Jin Yunshuo to the west of Beijing, and they will also take the opportunity to move into the west of Beijing, one is to develop the west of Beijing, to thicken the Beijing Falcon, and the other is to prevent the resurgence of the demon religion. ”
Zhao Kuangyin's brothers' move to move the people was not for the purpose of conquering the Later Han Dynasty with a thick Beijing division, but they did not take it down, but they captured a large number of people, only Jingxi Road had the smallest population, so Antun was in Jingxi. During the conquest of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, although defeated, a large number of Han people moved from Yunshuo and also settled in western Beijing.
The nature is different.
But this time, because of Zheng Lang, there were not many people killed, and there were countless living people, but Zheng Lang was very worried, the human heart is not a good thing to say, and there are too many deeds of revenge, so he offered this strategy. As soon as they arrived in western Beijing, they were unfamiliar with the people and land, and they lost the conditions for rebellion even if they wanted to rebel, and at the same time solved the problem that the new river channel flooded a large amount of cultivated land, and the people had no home to return to and no land to cultivate.
Zhao Zhen said happily: "Accurate." ”
Zheng Lang also said: "The number of people affected by the disaster is unimaginable, and the organization and distribution of disaster relief materials must be undertaken by a good official. ”
"Hebei shipping envoy?" Chen Zhizhong asked suspiciously.
"Otherwise, we can't centralize disaster relief matters."
The largest official on the route of the Song Dynasty was the temporary official position established during the Yuanbian Silu, which was not permanent to appease the envoys of the Jinglu Expedition. The permanent supreme governor is the transit envoy, and his main rights are threefold, to organize and supervise the transfer of financial resources to the central government in accordance with the regulations; According to the arrangement of the three divisions, the state capitals adjusted the central goods and locations, so they had the right to pay tax conversions, branch transfers and rates; Under the premise of the approval of the three divisions, the surplus and deficit of financial endowments shall be adjusted between the state capitals of the road, and the financial expenditures of the state governments of the road shall be supervised and the behavior of financial officials. The subsidiary right is to supervise some unjust cases, but only the right to supervise, not the right to adjudicate.
It can be different from the Tang Dynasty's jiedu envoys and later governors, who have very little power, no right to increase tax items on this road, no right to increase or decrease tax rates without authorization, and no right to exempt disaster relief without the approval of the imperial court in a famine year, and there is no road library on each road.
The Tao of the Tang Dynasty, and later the provinces, this two-level establishment was polarized, one was divided into the central government, and the other was divided into state capitals. The power of the state government is concentrated, this is not afraid, and then rebelling, it is only a rebellion of one state and one government, and it will not subvert the country.
So Zheng Lang superimposed another shipping envoy.
The shipping envoy was in charge of Cao Yun in the Tang Dynasty, and was in charge of grain purchase and scheduling in the early Song Dynasty, and also made tea and salt, but in the Song Dynasty, there was a degree branch division, and there were eight cases (eight subordinate institutions) below, of which the fifth case was the shipping case, which was in charge of the Bianhe Guangji Cai River Cao Yun and bridge. The folding and three taxes divided the rights of the shipping envoys. This official position became more and more chicken, first there were the Gyeonggi East and West Water and Land Shipping Envoys, the Jiang, Huai, and Zhejiang Shipping Envoys concurrently making tea and salt, and then there were three Baibo Shipping Envoys and Shaanxi Prefecture Three Shipping Envoys. However, because of the position of chicken ribs, in the end, more Jianghuai shipping envoys, that is, the positions held by Xu Yuan, and there was also a Sanmen Baibo shipping envoy, who was in charge of the dispatch of goods from Gyeonggi and Shaanxi. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was further weakened and was only responsible for purchasing grain.
The two positions seem to be big, but the actual power is not big.
However, when added up, the real power will increase, and it will also be conducive to dealing with disaster relief affairs cheaply. However, in the history of the Song Dynasty, there has not been a Hebei shipping envoy, so Chen Zhizhong has some doubts.
Zheng Lang replied: "Temporarily." ”
In just these few months, it has passed, just like the strange pacification strategy envoy on the four roads of the edge, and it is no longer set up. …,
Chen Zhizhong was silent.
Otherwise, the transportation and distribution of materials did lack speed and mobility under the various decentralization policies of the Song Dynasty.
Suddenly, Wang Yaochen came to his senses and praised: "Xingzhi is ancient." ”
recommended three people, one is Yan Du, who Zheng Lang doesn't like, one is Cheng Shimeng, who has nothing to do with Zheng Lang, and the other is Bao Zheng, who Zheng Lang has repeatedly protected. Confucius praised Qi Huangyang for being virtuous and not avoiding relatives and enemies, but that's not all.
"How dare you, the minister is deeply favored by His Majesty, how dare you be selfish when the catastrophe comes." Usually, there is no need to worry about it, at this time, the appropriate person must be put in the appropriate position, so let Yan Du, who is good at flexibility and proficient in water conservancy, go to inspect the disaster, Cheng Shimeng presided over the construction of water conservancy, as for Bao Zheng, not to mention the son, Chenzhou grain release is a story, but Lao Bao is still a relatively upright minister. This disaster relief, coupled with the construction of water conservancy and the safety of the disaster victims, the total value of food and materials will reach more than 10 million or even 20 million yuan for other ministers to go, Zheng Lang is really not at ease. If an official has a long hand, the country's losses will be tens of millions.
"Quasi" Zhao Zhen said rabbit again
It's unimaginably fast.
Almost less than 10 hours after the embankment burst, the disaster relief and subsequent resettlement were all implemented, and there were even policies for silting fields and farmland water conservancy laws. Zhao Zhen looked at Zheng Lang, and the look of appreciation in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Then all the relevant ministers were summoned to discuss the matter, from the officials of the three divisions to the ministers of the two governments and the two systems, and all the important officials of the formation were summoned to the capital hall to discuss the matter.
Zheng Lang only said the general provisions, and if you want to implement them, you have to divide them into trivial edicts, and you must convene the relevant officials together for discussion.
It was early in the morning, and the officials of the various ministries were also on duty, and soon dozens of important relevant clerks arrived together.
After they sat down, Zhao Zhen asked the eunuch to pass on the answer to the monarch and the minister just recorded, in fact, it was mainly what Zheng Lang said, which was a little long, so that everyone could watch it first and then discuss it.
When he arrived at Yin Zhang Yaozuo of Kaifeng Mansion, he read this record and said: "The minister has a play." ”
"Zhang Qing, say", Zhao Zhen said with an encouraging smile.
Zhao Zhen proposed Zhang Yaozuo, mainly because Zhang Xiuyuan was blowing the pillow wind in the back, but Zhang Yaozuo himself was cautious and cautious, familiar with the rule of officials, familiar with the law, and was considered a capable official. However, since Zhang Yaozuo was proposed, he was opposed by many ministers, and Zhao Zhen also hoped that Zhang Yaozuo would put forward good opinions in his name.
Zhang Yaozuo said: "Zheng Xianggong two strategies to govern the river, the former strategy to build a new canal, access to the Huaisi River, the minister estimated that at least more than 1,000 miles, along the way there are large areas of mountainous areas in Jingdong, the implementation of the inappropriate, this policy is a drain of water." The Lanzhou River is broken, and it is inevitable that a new north flow will appear, so why not repair the north flow and let the big river branch into the sea. In ancient times, Dayu governed the Yellow River and divided the Yellow River into nine branches into the sea. If only the new north flow into the sea is repaired, the labor cost is small, the labor is provincial, and there can be a new mainstream to distribute the water potential, why spend a huge amount of money to build a Grand Canal to share the water potential between the north and the south? ”
Seems like a good idea.
Many ministers raised their heads and looked at Zheng Lang in bewilderment.
But not all ministers don't understand, Ye Qingchen stared at Zhang Yaozuo, suddenly fell down, and laughed. Lord Zhang, you are so funny, such a bad idea can still be said seriously! PS: Continue to ink, let everyone vomit, but this book is still called a novel, just a reasonable burn, and then try to inject a little soul, personal reflection on the six oxygen society, the country, and the quintessence of the country, and want to go beyond the level of ordinary smoke novels.
If it is really divided into volumes, the end of the North Country Bank is the first half, and the volume of Prime Minister's Road is the second half, but in order to rationalize, it must be paved by various changes in the volume of Prime Minister's Road. There is no climax until the next volume of Kunlun Pass, please wait patiently for some of you who have vomited. However, writing like this has surpassed any of the most important books on the study of the Song Dynasty in my hands, and I am very ashamed that I am not doing the thing of a snake swallowing an elephant. Fortunately, the subscription does not fall and rises, do you also like this kind of ink? I bow again and thank you for the food and clothing you have given me.
