Chapter 506: Chaos (I)
"Xingzhi, your statement is very dangerous, governing the country is based on morality, and since Lu Yi is the prime minister, the border has been blocked, and domestic evils have been rampant...... Fan Zhongyan said.
Zheng Lang waved his hand, interrupted him, and asked rhetorically: "What kind of virtues does the master's virtue refer to?" Brother Xiwen, even you and I can't persuade you, besides, these people are more stubborn than you, don't embarrass me. ”
As he spoke, he pulled his legs and left.
How can I think of persuading this little master again and again, it's not interesting to find myself. Besides, I still have a lot to do.
Came to work in Zhongshu Province.
In the spring, at the request of Fan Zhongyan, Zhongshu Province carried out a rough division of labor, that is, the division of labor in the governor's affairs. Under normal circumstances, there are two governors, sometimes only one, and sometimes there can be three or four people, such as three people now, Fan Zhongyan, Jia Changchao and Zheng Lang.
Jia Changchao is in charge of etiquette education and other aspects of work, Zheng Lang is in charge of economic and civil affairs, Fan Zhongyan is in charge of personnel transfers, and reforms, and is also the deputy minister with the greatest power.
The West Mansion is Yan Shu, but Yan Shu is both in the two mansions, so the affairs of the Privy Council are mostly handed over to Du Yan, but the person who actually speaks the loudest is not Du Yan, but Han Qi who is in the capital for a while and Shaanxi for a while.
The power positions of Zheng Lang and Jia Changchao are not easy to say, it seems that Jia Changchao's real power is higher, but they are all virtual, Zheng Lang's power is the smallest, but it can be implemented everywhere.
Zhang Fangping, who was transferred back to the capital, handed over a fold and faintly exclaimed Zheng Lang.
He didn't believe in Han Qi or Fan Zhongyan, but Zheng Lang convinced him very much, didn't the new deal say that it was not allowed to rank seniors according to seniority, so now the person in the court has the greatest credit, strong governance ability, and good learning, why is Zheng Lang lagging behind.
Don't report it.
Zhao Zhen didn't say anything at all, and he believed that Zheng Lang wouldn't care. Besides, there are storms in the court, what are you doing standing in front?
But the fact is only about affairs, regardless of innovation, Zheng Lang is the most.
Open and inspect the newspapers one by one.
This period of time was in charge of the economy and civil affairs. It's a little bad, the country is too poor, and even Kepei, he has never proposed to let go. If you can't let it go, there will be tremendous pressure on the state finances immediately.
The main thing is that money and food are dragging their feet.
After watching the twists and turns for a while, Zheng Lang couldn't help but stare at the east.
If we want to solve the food problem, the first is to open up the land. This can only be opened to the south, the second is to breed excellent seeds, only the small continent of the Yangtze River is not enough, we must find more places, slowly improve the seeds, helpless, want to hybridize technology, how difficult it is in this era. But now stability comes first. It can only be scheduled for a later date. The third will be very, very important, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and another plant that has nothing to do with food. Rubber. The wheels, which are now all made of wood, have a high damage rate and increase the cost of transportation. If you have rubber, use it to make wheels, and the cost of long-distance transportation will drop by a quarter. Don't think about underestimating this quarter, if the big Song Dynasty, how many materials will be transported to the north in a year?
But we can't be in a hurry, we can only slowly look at the scale of ship technology and the development of safety supervision.
Someone sent an excerpt and handed it to the third division. The new warehouse law began to be created, so that Wang Yaochen began to release grain to the people to make seeds, and the relief grain could be charged a little interest, but the grain seeds could never be charged any interest, and it was necessary to ensure that every homeless person who returned to his hometown had grain seeds to plant.
Because of the responsibilities, sometimes it overlaps with the three divisions. During this time, I had a lot of dealings with Wang Yaochen.
The overlap is not one of him, there are many places, and it is unavoidable, management, several departments supervise, resources are more abundant, no matter what, several departments can still shirk responsibility.
In fact, Zheng Lang's pragmatic, low-key, and gentle style has already influenced some people's ..........
Dealing with affairs for a while, and reviewing some of the pieces handed to the capital from below in a mocking tone, it is true that some officials are really incompetent. Any kind of low-level mistakes can be made, and point them out one by one. This is the benefit of being an otaku in the previous life, and he is very patient in handling affairs.
Then he wrote a letter to Zhang Qi, he is not Di Qing, there are many people who pull, can be sandwiched in the miscellaneous and said, originally the Northwest Fuzhou is a child who is not loved by his father, and he was transferred to Jingyuan Road, at this time Jingyuan Road became a big stove, fried in it, Zhang Qi must not have a taste in his heart.
After a few words of comfort, I suddenly thought of Di Qing, and I didn't know what happened to Di Qing in the south.
……
Di Qing led his troops to the south.
Worried about being restrained by Wenchen, at the suggestion of Zheng Lang, he gave Di Qing Jinghu South Road to ask for a pacification position, so that Di Qing's rights would be above Yang Jin, and he could also dispatch local materials and soldiers, as well as other forces, so as to strike a thunderous blow.
When Di Qing went, the situation in Guiyang was eroding.
Guo Fuzhi was ordered to suppress bandits, but what does he know? Looking at the vast Jiuzhi Mountain, he was almost dumbfounded, led the troops to suppress it, was beaten to the point that he lost his armor and abandoned his armor, and the thieves became stronger, growing to nearly 2,000 people. Guo Fuyi was worried, and the reason why Guiyang was called a prison, rather than a state and a army, was because there was a lot of silver needed here, and the Ping'an prison brought back a large amount of gold and silver a year, but he had to give 200,000 taels of silver to the Khitan every year, how important is the silver. It just so happened that Di Qing and Yang Ji arrived at the same time, so I will leave the matter of suppressing the bandits to you.
Di Qing had not yet experienced the Shuiluocheng incident and Han Qi's humiliation, and at this time he had a good impression of Wenchen, thinking that they were all like Zheng Lang, looking at Yang Jin, Guo Fuzhi and Chen Zhifang, and said: "Guo Tidian, Yang Tidian, Chen Zhizhou, what do you think?" ”
I am a military general, you are a civil servant, and I want to talk about your thoughts.
Yang Zhen said: "General Di, the thief is not big, all you lead are elite soldiers in the north, it is better to crusade immediately, otherwise the spring miasma will be together, the mountains are tall and vast, and I don't know when it will be resolved." The longer the delay became, the soldiers were not sacrificed in the suppression of bandits, but sacrificed under the epidemic because of the dampness and heat of the earth. ”
Chen Zhifang said: "Ledao, it's not easy to suppress, the mountain is too big, after Jiuzhi Mountain, there is Guiyang Mountain, each mountain range stretches for nearly a thousand miles, almost tangled together. ”
After listening to it for a long time, Di Qing didn't know what they were talking about, so after thinking about it, he still had to figure it out by himself.
So he invited some local acquaintances to come over, selected a dozen shrewd and capable young people, gave them a generous reward, and asked them to be scouts to go into the mountains to investigate.
A few days later, the message came, and the reason was simple, it was because of the migration.
It's not that Chen Zhifang abuses them. They were given a large area of land outside the mountains to settle down, and meticulous aftermath work was done. But the barbarians in the mountains are not civilized, and it makes no sense to reason, plus they killed some of the mountain people and salt dealers who made a rebellion. The people's hearts were uneasy, which led to the rebellion of many barbarian officials in the mountains.
If they rebel in the mountains, they will be kings at ease, and they will be allowed to do so, and they will be allowed to go out of the mountains from time to time to become cowards, or to plunder, or to kill people. The southern part of Guiyangjian, Daozhou, Binzhou, Shaozhou, and Lianzhou are all eroded. Seeing that they were powerful, many barbarians joined one after another, not only Shengman, but also some brave familiar barbarians also entered it, which happened to be their eyeliner, and most of the officials came and fled into the mountains. Use the mountains and deep forests as shields to kill officers and soldiers. If they don't chase it, they will go out of the mountains from other places. Avoid the main force of the official army and continue to plunder.
After receiving the news, Di Qing gathered his generals together in the military camp, and there was no need to count on these civil officials, and after a few days of getting along, Di Qing knew how much water they had in their stomachs. Then glancing at it, this time Zheng Lang asked him to bring Jing Sili, Guo Kui, Zhao Xun, and even the disciples Wang Zhiwang Yuan brothers, which meant quite a lot, and the old breed was very shrewd. Immediately stuff his three sons into the army, Di Qing, you look at it, even if they are a small soldier, it doesn't matter. …,
Without him, because Chong Shiheng has already seen that Zheng Lang will run the south sooner or later. If you are operating in the South. Meishanman, Kuizhou, etc., must go through a hard battle to reverse the current situation. That's why Di Qing brought a large number of young generals, which was for the sake of the future.
Di Qing said: "The thieves are quite powerful, but there are many people, and they come from all over the place, and some of them are familiar with the barbarians, so they will not work together." ”
He didn't understand Zheng Lang's theory of yin and yang, but there were many truths that were common, and the favorable side would have the negative side. He added: "Therefore I want to divide them, and send people into the mountains to negotiate with them, and by the way to check the specific terrain, which requires one or two capable generals to enter the mountains, so that I can be my guide when I suppress the bandits." ”
Guo Kui stood up and said, "General Di, let your subordinates go." ”
Di Qing thought for a while and nodded, and said, "It's up to you to go, and, you and Guo Kui go into the mountain together." ”
It was decided to gather some fine porcelain, gold and silver, and a few carts of fine silk at once, and it was a military plan full of imagination. But Guo Fuzhi's face showed hesitation and said, "General Di, if you let General Guo go, it will be dangerous. ”
Guo Kui is the deputy general of the Song army, and his status is very important.
Di Qing ignored him, but he was not careless, and first sent the local familiar barbarians into the mountain to inform Tang He, your rebellion is definitely not the way, the Song Dynasty has more than one million troops, and you will be crushed to death by pressing you, let alone fighting. I sent the general Guo Kui to negotiate peace with you, it was sincere to negotiate peace, and I also brought you a lot of gifts, what do you think?
If Tang He came from the northwest, he would definitely not agree, or kill Guo Kui directly. Recently, he won a series of big victories, and when he heard the officials of the Song Dynasty bribe himself with gifts, he immediately agreed. In the past, Song Dynasty officials mostly did this. Guo Kui entered the mountain like this.
Taken by the barbarians to the Lonely Pulp, one of the enemy's lairs, the terrain is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. When Guo Kui saw Tang He, he said calmly: "Chief Tang, in view of the inconvenience caused by Chen Zhizhou, I will apologize first. ”
Don He laughed contemptuously with his stomach covered.
Guo Kui was not angry, and continued: "Chief Tang, the imperial court has also heard about you. So let General Di come to inform you, take back Chen Zhizhou's order, let you continue to stay in the mountains, but you must not rebel, and the court will also seal some of your leaders to official positions, which is a gift from the imperial court. ”
As he spoke, he asked the soldier to open the car.
Tang He asked his subordinates to push the car in, and laughed wildly: "What if I don't listen to your dog officer's orders? ”
The interpreter translated Tang He's words, Guo Kui looked embarrassed, cringed, and said, "That's not what I can call the shots." ”
As a result, Tang He kicked him out contemptuously.
But he has already let Guo Kui see some important terrain, and the reason for the rebellion is to migrate, and now that he is not moving, his subordinates have some ideas in their hearts. Di Qing then behaved very cowardly, constantly sending people to negotiate with them, and each negotiation sent a large number of rich gifts. The time was quietly approaching March, that is, the season when the miasma was heavier in the mouth of the civil officials of the Song Dynasty, and Tang He was even more lax and unequipped......
