Zheng Lang just smiled, some of his thoughts were not understood by Gao Taotao.?

Their own education method is not to stuff ducks, hard stuffing, some have to let Zhao Ji eat thoroughly, some are just sowing a seed, each into the growth path is different, the heart is also different, this heart is to put it bluntly is the ideological view.

The ideological outlook in turn casts this way of doing things.

I stuffed some things, and Zhao Ji may not be able to understand it now, but when he is in power in the future, it will have an impact on him.

Then he taught Zhao Ji a sentence: "Income does not suffer from poverty, but from inequality." ”

Zhao Zhen pondered for a long time and said, "I don't understand. ”

If you understand, Zheng Lang has been a white sect during this time, and it is superficial, but in fact, it is not, it involves entering Xing. Just like the mean, if you interpret it literally, it means that it is not up or down, and it is mediocre, so many Confucian masters will be mad with anger.

Zheng Lang smiled with satisfaction and said, "Two aspects, the first is to enter the xing, and the original xing is difficult to fill. Don't think it's a bad thing, it's just that everyone wants to have a better life that promotes the progress of the class. Use it right, and it will work. I still remember that when I went south, I sent some peasants to enter the barbarian tribes first, let them occupy the fertile land, cultivate them first, and through their respective harvests, let the barbarians have envy, and then popularize and change their white-spoon farming methods, it became easy. This is the use of Xing, let them compare and think about it for themselves

I son, I have to learn Hanhu. ”

"Master, Mencius, and Xunzi all said that to enter xing, to govern the country is to govern the people, and to govern the people is to govern the people, if you can't know how to enter xing, it will be difficult to govern the people, right?"

"Not exactly, it's more complicated to enter Xing, and it's more complicated to govern the country, but there are many overlaps between the two. The master did not use good and evil to evaluate Xing, Meng Xun did evaluate Er, but I am not, I think there is no difference between good and evil, because everything has two sides, and the same is true of Xing, there is a good side, there must be a bad side. If the inducement is improper, it is good, and if the inducement is improper, it is bad. ”

"What does that have to do with not suffering from poverty, but with inequality?"

"Because if you enter, you will have all kinds of hopes, some are greedy for money, some are greedy for status, some are greedy for various skills, some are greedy for knowledge, some are greedy for meritorious deeds, and others are greedy for several kinds. To make a simple analogy, ten years ago, everyone lived a half-fed life and would not starve to death, so they would feel very happy to enter. Ten years later, when society develops, there are many people around him who have no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he is still living a half-full life, not getting better, but not getting worse, he will feel very unhappy. If those who have no worries about food and clothing go up not by labor, but by some tricks or even worse means, then it is not unhappiness, but resentment! Although under the governance of the state, they will still not starve to death and freeze to death, because of unhappiness and resentment, as long as the government is governed, or a catastrophe comes, there is a slight temptation, and they will rise up. or disloyalty to the state, the soldiers are unwilling to fight for the country, or do not cooperate with the work of the officials, or the illegal crimes increase, or they become robbers......"

"What then?"

"There is no solution, if it is an absolute egalitarian system, it is not impossible to achieve it, but it is realized, and if there is no motivation for entry, the whole society and the country will stand still, although then it seems that the happiness of entry is increasing."

"Will it increase?"

"If there really is such a system of state, and it is forcibly closed, and the people are not allowed to come into contact with foreign countries, and there is no comparison, the people will be absolutely happy." Zheng Lang wanted to laugh when he finished speaking.

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"It would be good if the whole group was in the same category, even if the social progress was a little slower. Guan Jian himself is stagnant, don't enter but is improving, what will happen in the end? ”

Zhao Ji also smiled, of course, he thought that there would be no such country in the world.

"Therefore, only by adjusting the whole country to make it look equalized and fair, and to reduce the serious gap between the rich and the poor, the country will be more stable and the people will be happier."

"It's good, but it's going to be troublesome."

"It's o," Zheng Lang finally laughed out loud, patting Zhao Ji on the shoulder, being able to say these words really improved. At least for now, if Zhao Ji is appointed as the magistrate of the county, he may be able to rank in the middle, and he will not be the best, nor will he be too bad.

Zhao Ji is growing rapidly, and the outside world is still not paying much attention.

The focus is on the imperial heir.

The first big drama is gradually coming to an end.

Everyone was worried about Mo Palace, and Wang Tao said: "It is the slightest benefit to enter the scene, and to compete with each other." ”

This is what Zheng Lang said about entering the yu hope.

He also said: "Today, the prince is rich from nothing, and there are more than 300

I am not ordained, but his virtuous is far away, and he has knowledge and knowledge, and he is enough to know the holiness of His Majesty, and he can enter for the young. However, when the minister heard that his father's call did not promise, the king's order did not lead to the call, and the envoy was not resigned; The prince should not avoid the inferior, and the envoy should not rebel. All the princes and ministers of the emperor are begged to surrender, and the prince is scolded with the righteousness of the courtiers, and it is advisable to enter. ”

Your Majesty, don't be angry, this is a good thing, soon the Song Dynasty will produce a super virtuous monarch.

Zhao Zhen was suspicious, and summoned Han Qi into the palace and took out this piece to ask.

How could Han Qi not be clear, and said: "Wang Tao's words are very pertinent. ”

Zhao Zhen thought to himself, since everyone said yes together, it's about good. He also didn't want the Song Dynasty to be handed over to a bad emperor.

Therefore, he summoned him more ceremoniously, gave the prince a thousand clothes, a gold belt, and a thousand money and silk, and asked Zhao Conggu, the grandson of Zhao Defang, who was also convicted of the main affairs of the sect, to personally persuade the prince to enter. is not a eunuch, but a child of the clan, but Zhao Zongshi still said that he was unable to enter.

Zhao Conggu is in the same vein as Zhao Kuangyin, and he has no right to speak, so he had to go to persuade again and again, but he didn't listen.

In addition, Zheng Lang wrote a book for Qian Bao, and the court also quarreled with Qian Bao, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Zhao Zhen was even more depressed, could it be true that his nephew was an ancient sage?

So he went one step further and set up the emperor's death, temples and tombs.

added another child of the clan to persuade Zhao Yuanfen's grandson, Zhao Zongge. Zhao Zongge was also so angry that he said: "You are a courtier, how can you refuse the order of the monarch and not be evil?" I can't forcibly arrest you for the sake of the people, but I'm afraid that you will lose the heart of a courtier and fall into notoriety! ”

Zhao Zongshi has the heart of a courtier.

But Zhao Zongge is older than him, and he has a lot of say in the clan, so he doesn't dare to refute, just chatter.

Meng Yang felt very bad, it seemed that Zhao Zongshi was in a good situation, there was Empress Cao inside, Han Qi outside, and Zheng Lang's family was also silent because Zheng Lang was teaching Zhao Ji, but there was always a bottom line. If it goes too far, if the children of the clan oppose it together, then there will be a serious defection from the inside out.

Han Qi can support Zhao Zongshi, can't he support the children of other clans, seeing that the situation is not good, retreat and change the master, even Empress Cao will be alone.

The fourth time Zhao Conggu and Zhao Zongge came to persuade Dun, Meng Yang personally entered, Zhao Zongshi was sleeping on the couch, he said: "The Lord knows the sage of the Taiwei, participates in the help of the premature entry, and pronounces the sound of virtue, the Taiwei alone claims to be sick and sleeping, and his righteousness is there?" ”

"If you don't dare to be blessed, you can avoid disaster."

Meng Yang was stunned, Meng Yang said it to Han Qi afterwards, Han Qi didn't figure it out, Han Qi understood it after a long time, but Han Qi was even more bitter at that time. At least now I can still take care of my face, and at that time, I couldn't take care of my face when Zhao Zongshi was forced to do so.

Meng Yang didn't figure it out, there are only good things, what is the disaster, look at the premature is a cluster of flowers, the imperial heir is only one of you, there is not even a competitor, the emperor is often sick, this body can't last long, what disaster to avoid?

If you can't figure it out, you have to persuade him, and said: "What has to be a measure of scale, you have reached this point, you already have suspicions, no matter how stubborn you are, if you have another emperor to set up an heir, can you get Yan'an without trouble?" ”

If you don't set up the emperor's heir, you will have a good end, and if you don't set up the emperor's heir, don't enter the emperor's heir, what will you do after becoming the emperor?

Zhao Zongshi was shocked, got up on the couch, and said, "I can't worry about this. ”

Who said he had committed evil?

So he entered with Zongge, the good and the poor were less than thirty, the luggage was sluggish, no different from the Hanshi, and he only had a few bookshelves.

Along the way, the people saw the shabby appearance of his family and praised him.

Is it worth it? Just like Sima Guang later lived in a small grass shed and became a virtuous man, but thinking about the original background of Sima Guang's family, and then thinking about Sima Guang's income, in fact, this small grass shed is very thunderous.

Zhao Zongshi is really a child of the clan, at this time, the children of the clan have not fully expanded, and the treatment is not thin, and as one of the two children adopted by Zhao Zhen, the treatment will not be bad, as well as the Gao family and the Cao family. How can it be shabby?

If it is shabby, can you reward ten gold and ten gold land?

How many things can be purchased for 1,800 yuan? But no matter what, Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and Han Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, for the sake of this Zhao Zongshi, how many government affairs have been delayed. Zhao Zongshi took it to the Qingju Palace, saw Zhao Zhen, and ordered the prince to be the defense envoy of Qizhou, and entered the title of the Duke of Julu County. and to the internal and external officials, Han Qi was crowned the Duke of Yiguo.

But in October, Zhao Shu resigned from his official position.

The edict is not allowed.

Zhao Zhen was also wondering in his heart, what did Han Qi and Wang Tao say about the great sages of the ages, but Zhao Zhen didn't believe it. The ancient events are too old to know whether they are true or false.

Not to mention anything else, there were really two great sages in the Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan and Zheng Lang.

Can it be said that Fan Zhongyan has no selfishness at all? There are still some of them, but when Decāo arrives at Fan Zhongyan's step, he is indeed impeccable.

When De Cāo arrived at Zheng Lang's step, he was also impeccable, perhaps a little less than Fan Zhongyan, but his skills in governing were a little higher. But in the cave, he still couldn't control his physiological desires, and he did bad things.

But these two entered, and when they go up to the history books, as long as they are not the Qin Dynasty, which has clear historical facts, the most of them can be compared with it.

Daxian can't take it seriously, about this child is a little uneasy, so he decided to send another handful, and called the auxiliary ministers, close attendants, the chief and deputy envoys of the three divisions, and the Taiwan counselor and the clan, the captain of the horse, and the chief soldier together, that is, the clan relatives and all the important officials arrived, let them accompany them, and took Zhao Shu into the Yaotu Pavilion and the Yaozhang Pavilion, visited the ancestral imperial book, and went to the Baowen Pavilion, personally wrote the flying white book, distributed the ministers, and arrested the pavilion.

Then make a book poem, let the ministers sing harmony, and set up a banquet in the jade hall, Zhao Zhen said: "There is nothing to do for a long time, and the joy of the present is to share it with Qing and others, and it is advisable to get drunk and not quit." ”

At the banquet, the ministers were given forbidden flowers, gold plates, incense medicines, and deliberately did not give Han Qi a deer fetus wine. The ministers were all drunk, and they gave up at dusk.

It has nothing to do with Zheng Lang, but when Zheng Lang heard the news, infinite sourness suddenly surged up in his heart.

Maybe Zhao Zhen's life will be more or less extended, but after this banquet, there won't be much time

i. Thinking of Zhao Zhen's importance to Han Qi and Han Qi's return to Zhao Zhen, anger rose in his heart.

But soon he was also targeted.

The river works were closed one by one, first the canal was opened in its entirety, and by the end of the year, the Yellow River was introduced into Jishui. There are also some projects, the northeast of the Yellow Gate will be completely closed, the Huai River and several rivers north of Jishui will be repaired, and the embankments of the Yellow River will be repaired one by one.

However, it is all the final project, and it does not hinder the overall situation. Han Qi asked Zheng Lang to persecute him, and he put another 30 million yuan of treasury bonds, which did not hinder the overall situation. If the imperial court manages carefully, it can be repaid in a few years. At this moment, the Song Dynasty vaguely climbed to another peak.

After four years of river work, the peak once employed more than 3 million people. More than 4,000 miles of new rivers have been excavated, including more than 200 miles of the main channel of the Yellow River and nearly 2,000 miles of new canals. More than 100 lakes have been excavated, and the total water storage is more than twice that of Liangshanluo. Dozens of associated lakes have also been widened. There are dozens of cisterns and more than 300 steep gates, half of which are large steep gates. There are more than 300 diversion canals, which are more than 20,000 miles long. More than 300 large and small original river channels have been renovated, and the length of various embankments has reached more than 20,000 miles.

The amount of the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty is not easy to calculate, but the river control project is only above the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty, not below it. The entire project has benefited almost the irrigation of the area east of Sanmen and half of the area north of the Yangtze River. Just the freight of grain and materials transported to Hebei can save millions of yuan a year.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Zhen was overjoyed and had a drunken banquet in the Jade Palace.

In the feudal era, such a huge project was realized, not only did not work the people, but on the contrary, it also benefited the people, which can already be said to be a miracle within a miracle.

But it's all too easy to find trouble for such a big project.

The Yellow River is also about to be completed, and some rotten sesame seeds are turned out and impeached vaguely.

He also played a twist, saying that it was inappropriate for the emperor and grandson to continue to stay in Yunzhou, which violated the system.

Zhao Zhen is hesitating, next year, the river work will end, not a year, but two or three months, do you want to transfer Zheng Lang back to Zhongshu?

I was very displeased to see these twists and turns. Yin said coldly: "I won't cook a rabbit and a dog." The merits of the river work, I clearly understand in my heart, the merit is not rewarded, but deposed again and again, who will have the confidence to do things for me and for this great Song Dynasty in the future! ”

The group exhibition was dumbfounded.

Zeng Gongliang said: "Your Majesty, the minister is in the middle of the book, it is a corpse vegetarian meal, wait for the river work to end, release the minister, and transfer Zheng Lang to Beijing to enter the two mansions. Although the country is under great rule, it almost vaguely exceeds the time of Kaiyuan, but His Majesty must also guard against the rebellion of Xiaobao. Recently, His Majesty has been tired of government, and the ministers are very worried, and at this time, it is even more necessary for the court to supervise government affairs, so as not to prosper and decline. ”

Wang Jue also stood up with his tooth wat and said: "The ministers have heard that the country's finances have a serious downward trend, although they have not harsh the people, and the people's lives are safe, but the foreign debts owed by the imperial court have reached more than 90 million, Your Majesty should think twice." ”

"Let's talk about it after the river work is over." Zhao Zhendao did not express his opposition or approval, and announced the dissolution of the dynasty.

Then Zheng Langhegong will not be impeached, and Zhao will continue to be transferred back to Beijing.

Gao Tao was angry, being the emperor's heir may not be the same as sitting as the emperor, and he is only an adopted son, and he still needs the support of Zheng Lang's faction at this time. She sent an envoy to send her son's letter to Zhongshu together. Yunzhou is very close to the capital, and the mother and son have a letter almost every half a month, a total of more than 20 letters.

It records some of the knowledge that Zheng Lang taught Zhao Ji about governing the country and doing things, as well as Zhao Ji's experience and feelings, at the beginning many ideas were very ridiculous, but in the end the ideas became clearer and more mature, although they were still young, they were very considerable.

The officials below and the squires slapped and blew up, but judging from the last few letters, they already had the demeanor of a hidden generation of Ming Jun. It's a little young, but don't forget Zhao Ji's age. Zeng Gongliang said happily: "This is a grand event, and it can be paid to the History Museum." ”

It is these 20 or so letters that you can see Zheng Lang's gentle and elegant education methods and thoughts, and you can also see Zhao Lang's leap and growth under Zheng Lang's education method.

Han Qi wanted to stop it, but thinking of the meaning of Gao Taotao's delivery of the letter to Zhongshu, the words stopped at the edge of his mouth, and suddenly a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

Zeng Gongliang took the letter to the History Museum for record keeping.

The archive asked Zhao Zhen to send in and get the inner palace, looking at the letter, a kind of melancholy rose in Zhao Zhen's heart. No matter how much Zheng Lang secretly pushed, he couldn't restore Zhao Zhen's low mood. Sighing, his head was empty, and he said silently, "Take it back." ”

"Ah," the little eunuch carefully took the letter back to the History Museum.

Zhao Zhen said to another eunuch: "Call Miao Guifei." ”

"Whoa." The eunuch was just about to leave, but Zhao Zhen said again: "By the way, I will also call Taotao." ”

After a while, Gao Tao and Miao Guifei brought.

Zhao Zhen asked them to sit down and said, "Tao, my body is dead. ”

"Your Majesty will definitely live a long life."

"Tao, you don't have to compliment me, you let the queen receive foster care in the inner palace since you were a child, although you are not my flesh and blood, I also treat you as my own half daughter."

"Yes."

"Shu'er is said to be virtuous outside, but I am always a little unsure in my heart, but you are eccentric. There is something I wanted to say to Shu'er before, but after thinking about it, I still think it is good to say to you. ”

"Erchen doesn't dare."

"It's not that I don't dare, this matter is related to the rise and fall of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Erchen listens to you."

"The Song Dynasty was prosperous and prosperous, and there were many ministers who worked hard to achieve it, but one of them made the greatest contribution."

"Zheng Xianggong."

"Well, that's him. But if the credit is great, it will often become an obstacle, don't you understand? ”

"Erchen understands a little."

"That's good, if you want the Song Dynasty to continue to prosper, you must make good use of Zheng Lang, who is only forty-five years old, and if he is healthy, he can use it for my dynasty for thirty years. Even if it's not good, it can be used for 20 years. And he is loyal to my court, and he can't do it. But because of its high merit, it has become a constraint. ”

"No, Guan Zhong Zhuge Liang has contributed to the country, and the way to use it may not learn from Han Gaozu."

"It's good to think like this, but it's not unreasonable that the ancestral family law doesn't want the ministers to appear. But Zheng Lang has a fatal handle on his body, which can make Shu'er use it smoothly in the future. Do you know whose child Li Gui is? ”

Gao Tao was a little dizzy, she had guessed it a long time ago, but she didn't say it, but why did Zheng Lang tell Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, and why did his uncle tell him? These gentlemen really think differently.

She feigned surprise and asked, "Whose child?" ”

"Zheng Xingzhi."

"O."

Zhao Zhen lightly said the past. Said: "Because he made this mistake, he resigned repeatedly, and I was approved, and if he made a mistake, he would be punished." But if it weren't for the fact that there are still many shortcomings in the country, I guess he would have retired long ago. I will tell you the truth, how to use it, you can grasp it yourself. Go ahead. ”

"Whoa." Gao gushed and left melancholy. If my uncle can say this, he will probably not live long. But I don't know whether to be happy or sad in my heart.

Concubine Miao complained in the hall: "Why do you want to say it. ”

"I said it for the sake of the country, and for the sake of slaves. I persuaded her to remarry, Xingzhi persuaded her to remarry, but she didn't listen, she is my eldest daughter, and I want to see her happy. ”

Miao Guifei did not answer.

"Come, accompany me to burn some paper threads for Fang'er, Xin'er, and Xi'er."

"Okay."

Two into the outside to burn paper money, this year there is snow, is falling, the cold wind howling, paper money and snowflakes together in the cold wind flying. Looking at the firelight, Zhao Zhen said: "If Fang'er, Xin'er, and Xi'er, any of them is alive, and they are older than Ji'er." ”

"Hmm."

Then the two were silent.

After a while, the paper money was burned, and it seemed to suddenly darken, and Zhao Zhen's thin figure was quickly disappeared in the dark. In the distance was a clump of withered cornflowers, and the bare chrysanthemum stalks were in the cold wind, as if looking at Zhao Zhen's gray figure crying.
