The autumn harvest is coming, and the situation is not very good.

Zheng Lang looked at the twists and turns in various places and covered his head. The North is fine this year, but the South is having problems again. From the Huaihe area to the two Zhejiang, there are many droughts, although it is not a huge drought, it is still very serious, and the harvest in various parts of Jianghuai is poor.

It doesn't matter, there are many rivers in the Jianghuai River, and what we are afraid of is not drought, but waterlogging. However, it still has some influence.

In the first year of his reign, the Yellow River burst its embankment, the second year of the Taohuaxun Yellow River returned to the Yongji Canal, the third year released a number of flood discharge areas, there were still many waterlogging, and the fourth year of the Jianghuai drought. As for next year, let alone next year......

passed these twists and turns to Wen Yanbo, Gao Ruone and Liu Xin.

Yanchen mostly impeached Song Zhen in the phase of Wu Jianming, that is, the corpse of the vegetarian meal, Song Zhen has self-knowledge, compared with Liu Pang Wenfu, his ability to govern is poor. When he heard about the impeachment, he begged for relief. Zhao Zhen was not allowed, and then asked for retreat, and dismissed as the scholar of the Shangshu Guan Wendian University of the Criminal Department to know Henan Mansion. Liu Xin, the scholar of Longtu Pavilion, was the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, and Wen Yanbo was the prime minister. The latter continued to protect Zheng Lang, at least making Zheng Lang's body armor.

But as soon as the appointment came out, Yanchen was in an uproar again, and Liu Xin did not dare to treat Zhang Yanfang in prison, and the concubine Dezhi came to a leap forward.

Zhang Yanfang is a guest of Zhang Guifei Cao's family, received a lot of money from wealthy businessmen, forged the documents of the court, failed, and was arrested in Kaifeng Mansion, and even Zhang Guifei's mother, Mrs. Yueguo. Liu Xin talked about Zhang Yanfang's death and did not dare to implicate the Cao family.

On the impeachment letters, Zhao Zhen didn't ask.

Zheng Lang is also silent, selfish, Zheng Lang recommended Liu Xin, and he should not be evil. This point is very important, Hugh should underestimate this coordination, how many major events have happened in the past few years, the two governments are calm and operate rapidly, one is that the two governments are full of talents. The second is this coordination, which one is easy to provoke, Pang Ji and Wen Yanbo?

Yu Gong, Zhang Guifei is now favored, like the sky. There are a few officials who are willing to offend Zhang Guifei and change it to themselves, and they will also learn from Liu Xin's practice. But Liu Xin is a very good minister, who is evaluated by the history books as a person who has been promoted to prime minister since the establishment of the Jin Shike in the Song Dynasty. Because it doesn't grow in literature. Many descendants don't know that this person's ability to govern is far above Song Zhen and Gao Ruune, and even slightly above Wang Yaochen and Fu Bi, comparable to Wen Yanbo in middle age, and Wen Yanbo in his later years is definitely inferior, but slightly inferior to Pang. Is it possible for such a talent to serve as a governor of the government?

The efficient two mansions covered up many problems in the Song Dynasty. Despite the successive disasters, the country seems to be moving towards a richer and stronger path every year.

Liu Xin said: "Xingzhi, either Jiangdong will be turned to Jingshi Grain as a part of the interception." to help Jianghuai. ”

"It's not just interception, it's all interception...... Send someone to pass on the situation of the fields to the middle school and ask about the income of the grain reserves in the north of the three divisions. ”

"It's not appropriate to keep them all," Gao Ruone hesitated.

"Now Xia Liao is bad, the northwest is safe, Shaanxi has a bumper harvest year after year, and the local warehouse is gradually abundant, even if there is a disaster, Shaanxi has to live. I'm worried about the ...... South."

Zheng Lang was referring to Nong Zhigao, and Jiaozhi sent troops to fight Nong Zhigao. Nong Zhigao was clever this time, and led his subordinates to move the supplies to the deep mountains and old forests. Wealth is needed to fight wars, except for a few strong examples. Without strong wealth, it is difficult to maintain the war for a long time, for example, the Khitan vs. Western Xia, due to national strength, had to stop for the time being. The same was true of the Western Xia, the same was true of the Song Dynasty, and Jiaozhi was no exception.

Xiao Gu sent Yongzhou to instruct Qi Yun to spy on the intelligence, but Qi Xun misunderstood the meaning and saw that Jiaozhi beat Nong Zhigao and howled wolf, thinking that it was easy to bully, and sent troops to attack Nong Zhigao. Can this be the same? It was not until Nong Zhigao was suppressed that the Song Dynasty was forced to recruit one in the west road of Guangnan, and selected 39,800 people, and used agricultural leisure to teach and read every winter, and practiced three kinds of weapons: guns, darts, and cards. After the invasion of Jiaozhi, Song Shenzong changed to the fourth-class main household with three dings, with one ding as the tuding, exempted from its scientific service, every winter will be the tuding three times, one month in turn, to improve the enthusiasm of the local soldiers when teaching the test, and give them a little money and rice. …,

Hugh said that if the entire 7th and 8th Battalion of Liangguang Road were concentrated together to attack Nong Zhigao, it would also inevitably fail.

failed, was captured alive by Nong Zhigao, Qi Xun made a contribution, and persuaded Nong Zhigao to attach. It was in line with Nong Zhigao's mind, and he was about to kidnap the Song Dynasty to his chariot, and the dishes came up. So he sent a generous gift to Qi Zhen, crossed Chen Heng, communicated directly with Xiao Gu, and was willing to ask for tribute. Xiao Guxin thought it was true, and Dai Nong Zhigao wrote to the court, and the book went to Beijing, Zheng Lang was silent, and looked at the thoughts of Zhao Zhen and several bigwigs. As a result, Zhao Zhen belonged to Jiaozhi with his service, and he could not accept the tribute and refused. Zhao Zhen's thoughts were still very hazy and did not make it clear.

From the perspective of time and space, some people think that Nong Zhigao is bent on being Chinese, maintaining the integrity of China's territory, and resisting the invasion of Annam, where is it!

This is in the Song Dynasty, we must stand in the Song Dynasty to consider the problem, in the Northern Song Dynasty court in the heart of the field is not the two Guangzhou, but the Jinghu Lake Basin, a very simple truth, the two Guangxi are too far away, it is useless, just to bind themselves. Therefore, the city only stays at the traffic point where the Han people gather, and most prefectures and counties do not have decent city walls. In fact, there were very few Han Chinese in Liangguang at that time. Does Nong Zhigao really have the consciousness of thinking that he is Chinese?

When Zheng Lang thought of this, he wanted to scold very much, fucking expert!

Especially on the Guangnan West Road at this time, the Song Dynasty's control ability was really weak, and the Nong father and son had been established for a long time, and Nong Zhigao's so-called internal attachment was actually a weak country attached to a strong country, hoping to use the Northern Song Dynasty to resist the invasion of Annam. If the Song Dynasty helped Nong Zhigao, it would rise to the point where it was directly evil with Jiaozhi, and the Song Dynasty did not want to expand its territory in the south. If Nong Zhigao can be publicly recognized by the Song Dynasty, there must be a suspicion of raising tigers.

In fact, Zhao Zhen's approach is very correct, although he forced Nong Zhigao's true face out and forced it early, if he recognized Nong Zhigao, in another ten or eight years, his power will grow, what will be the consequences, then if the big Tiannan Kingdom will really stand up in Liangguang.

At this time, Zhao Zhen was only subconscious.

The edict came to Xiao Gu's hands, Xiao Mingfang did not get the benefits of Nong Zhigao, and he wrote again, Nong Zhigao will be troubled by the south, and he is willing to give an official to care for him. Make it resistant to coching.

Zhao Zhen asked again, can you guarantee that Jiaozhi will not fight for Nong Zhigao, and Nong Zhigao will not be guilty of guilt for the rest of his life?

Xiao Gu replied, the barbarian moves when he sees the advantage. But if you let the minister promise, it is not within the minister's ability. Kechen thinks that today's situation in China should not be done to the barbarians, such as those who are wise and wise, and it is advisable to take care of them. And the wisdom is high, the talent is strong, and it can be raised without the fight of Jiaozhi. As far as they can fight, the barbarians attack each other. I have nothing to do.

More fucked up than the words of the experts.

Zhao Zhen asked if Guan Jian could guarantee that Nong Zhigao would not invade, otherwise what was the point of taking in Nong Zhigao at the risk of war with Jiaozhi? Can't guarantee it, isn't it nonsense!

Not reported.

You slowly toss in Liangguang.

Xiao Gu was unwilling, and said that Nong Zhigao offered the elephant to be raw and ripe gold and silver, and asked for it to be attached.

After tossing back and forth for a few months, Zhao Zhen finally figured it out and issued an edict. If you want to attach it, Guangyuan Prefecture was originally subordinate to Jiaozhi, if Nong Zhigao entered the country with his country (referring to Guangyuan Prefecture, Qiyuan Prefecture and other regions under the jurisdiction of Annan). That is, yes.

Hand over your country and return it to the Song Dynasty, otherwise while being a minister of the Song Dynasty and letting the Song Dynasty take a big risk for you, you are also being the Taishi of Jiaozhi, and being the emperor in Guangyuan Prefecture and Qiyuan Prefecture, what is this called?

Do you want to learn from Western Xia?

It's okay to learn from Western Xia, but you have to show this strength. Otherwise, dedicate their country!

Otherwise, in case of war, for whom the Song Dynasty went to war, for itself. Or is it a war for the so-called state of Annam?

From beginning to end, Zheng Lang didn't say a word, it was all taken into account by Zhao Zhen, Zheng Lang was full of emotion in his heart, who said that Zhao Zhen didn't act? In his heart, he also ridiculed the strategic vision of Nong's father and son, and saw how Zhu Yuanzhang gained power? Slow reign. Accumulate grain and build deep walls. People have such a big place, they don't even do it, they only have a few states, and they dare to be the emperor. Who wants to help you, the emperor? …,

"South?" Liu Xin didn't believe it, since Shuzhou was appointed, he had known about Tanzhou and other positions, stayed in the south for several years, and knew that many people were brutal and often went down the mountains to plunder, but was it worth preparing with the grain that intercepted the entire Jiangdong Road?

"Chongzhi, this time it's different from the barbarians you see, it's the emperor. In addition, the control of the two Guangxi and our dynasties is very weak, the garrison is small, and many prefectures and counties have no city walls, once it erodes, the consequences are far more serious than you think. ”

Liu Xin didn't dare to say anything more.

The two Guangzhous cannot be lost, not to mention that Guangzhou is a national important port, a place of taxation, Guangshao and others are also a wealthy place in the Song Dynasty, there are many Han people living in them, and the loss of the two Guangzhous will inevitably endanger Jinghu South Road, Jiangnan West Road, and Fujian Road. The latter two roads are a little better, the state control in many areas of Jinghu South Road is still very weak, the two join forces, the degree of erosion is more serious, and then there are Siberian tigers, northwest wolves, and a Tubo, Tubo is now very honest, but when the Song Dynasty fell, it was inevitable that he would not be moved. The consequences are unimaginable.

Call in for an inquiry.

This year, there is something going on in Jianghuai, the harvest in the north is very good, especially in the places where the flood was discharged last year, there are also successive farmland water conservancy laws, increasing the area of new cultivated land by more than 20,000 hectares, and the embankment and flood discharge have at least improved 50,000 hectares of farmland, which is almost equivalent to one-tenth of the cultivated land area of Hebei Road, but there is still unlimited room for growth. Therefore, in a normal year, the grain was once reduced to 20 yuan per bucket.

However, no matter what political achievements are, they cannot cover up the mistakes of party struggle. This is Zheng Lang's evaluation of Wang Anshi in history.

Wen Yanbo served as the prime minister, with the support of Zhang Guifei and Zheng Lang, and in return, he asked the imperial court to edict Han Wei, Han Jiang and Wang Anshi to come to Beijing to join the company, and the three refused at the same time. This matter is the best in the world.

Zheng Lang was silent, and secretly wrote a letter to Wang Anshi, thick and thin, but he was based on gentleness, and he couldn't be too impatient, and he did a good job in Tanxian, but he was too impatient, and he didn't take the overall situation into account, otherwise it would not cause misunderstanding.

Tian Guo reported the situation one by one, and said: "If God blesses the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty can have three or five years of wind and rain, even if Tianbaochu and Zhenguan are not as good." ”

Zheng Lang shook his head: "Even if my dynasty is ten times better than Tianbao in the early years, it is not as good as Tianbao, rich and strong, only rich and not strong, how can Wei Yang be a big country?" ”

"Well," Tian said respectfully. He has civil and military skills, and he is also one of the few ministers who are relatively tough on foreign policy. However, the way of management is slightly inferior to Zhang Fangping.

Zheng Lang thought about it again and said, "That's it." ”

A series of arrangements were made.

Since there is a lot of grain storage in Hebei and Shaanxi, even if there is a disaster next year, the impact will not be great, so we simply intercept half of the tax grain on Jiangnan West Road and store it in various state capitals in case of emergency.

Gao Ruone was terrified: "Could it be so serious? ”

"Just in case." Zheng Lang said lightly.

Not only Nong Zhigao, but also Mei Shanman and others, solved it easily. So that the country no longer has to worry about the future, in order to fully manage the Western Xia. For this day, Zheng Lang has been planning for a long time. continued: "Even if Chenguang gets better, he can't be optimistic, thirty years. ”

"What is thirty years?" Wen Yanbo asked, this sentence is not clear, and it is easy for people to have serious misunderstandings.

"As food production increases, the population inevitably increases. Large population. There will be more taxes, more troops, and more power, but there will be no limit to the number of people and limited land, and if this is satisfied, the country will face serious difficulties as long as the population has increased rapidly in thirty years. Moreover, the environment in the north is so harsh. Droughts and floods are uncertain, and the Yellow River has not yet been resolved, so we cannot take it lightly. ”

Several people were in awe again.

Zheng Lang can't be as selfless as Fan Zhongyan. But this attitude of doing one's best for the country and working day and night can also be daunting. Yanchen is talking nonsense, only by going deep into the competent departments of the two governments, the two systems and the three divisions can he know how much Zheng Lang has done and how much credit he has made for the rare governance in recent years? …,

Even before Zhang Yaozuo stepped down, he respected Zheng Lang very much. It's not that he respects him, but the niece in the palace often delivers words, who can be verbose, don't confront Zheng Lang. Sister Zhang listened to Zhao Zhen's praise in the harem. My ears are calloused. But the officials outside didn't know about it.

Zheng Lang said another thing, this matter is under the joint management of the three divisions and the Zhongshu, so that the officials of the Lingnan prefectures will gather some of the local doctors who have been convened to treat miasma in Guizhou for screening, some of the local doctors are talking nonsense, and some of the local doctors are pretending to be ghosts. Repatriate these local doctors to their hometowns. Other local doctors gathered and asked them to teach them the art of curing miasma, wrote books, and sent them to the capital with the distribution and shape of miasma in various places. Another batch of funds will be allocated to purchase a batch of medicinal materials for the treatment of miasma. At the same time, coarse salt was prepared in Guangzhou and Guizhou, which was not used for eating, but for bathing, cooking and sterilizing soldiers. Then purchase a batch of anti-mosquito lavender.

"Will Nong Zhigao really rebel?" Wen Yanbo asked suspiciously.

"Brother Kuanfu, it's not a rebellion, it's an invasion, they are the Southern Heavenly Kingdom, once the army is organized into the territory of our court, it has nothing to do with rebellion, it's aggression."

"Really...... Aggression, my dynasty is kind to the Nong family, he doesn't have a bad relationship with Jiaozhi, why do you have a bad relationship with my court? "Wen Yanbo is not used to it.

"Don't doubt it, Your Majesty has already killed him with words, this person only wants to use our dynasty to assist him in fighting against the Yue Li Dynasty, not to sincerely submit to our dynasty, how can he hand over the borders under his jurisdiction? If you don't hand it over, you won't be able to get the support of our DPRK. And our dynasty has very few troops stationed in Liangguang, and some officials have not done a good job, the people are prey, the country is cowardly in Lingnan, and the officials are unpopular, do you think he will covet our Liangguang and Guangzhou, or will he beat him to a desperate crossover? As for the family feud, maybe he will have it, but when the ambition reaches his level, the family feud has long been diluted. Will Han Gaozu demote Xiang Yu for the sake of his wife and father? The same is true for this reason. ”

There is no doubt about this analysis, and when Tian Guo left Zhongshu, in fact, the war machine was already in motion.

After Zhao Zhen heard this, he summoned Zheng Lang into the inner palace to inquire, Zheng Lang told the reason, and said: "Your Majesty, the two Guang and one are lost, the country is in danger, even if Nong Zhigao does not come to invade, it is only a waste of money." If they come to invade, these arrangements will come in handy, and many fewer soldiers will die. What is lost is small, and what is gained is great. ”

No one can say what will happen in the future, all arrangements are like gambling, with one game and two is considered to be successful, if one can win to hundred, the probability is equal, why not win? That's what Zheng Lang meant. Zhao Zhen smiled, and summoned the auxiliary ministers to see him, not for Nong Zhigao, even if he would rebel, Zhao Zhen underestimated the seriousness of the situation. But for Fan Xiang's salt reform, Bao Zheng returned from Shaanxi, strongly advocated Fan Xiang's salt law, and sentenced Li Huizhi, the director of the Grinding and Exploration Division, to say that it was inconvenient, so he summoned the auxiliary ministers to discuss.

Tian Guo said: "Your Majesty, although Li Huizhi is well-intentioned, but he doesn't know the situation of Shaanxi's salt solution, he can go to Shaanxi to inspect before Li Hui, and then negotiate with Fan Xiang and submit the terms to hear." ”

The actual situation is also in favor of the new salt law, but there are too many people who lose later, and these people are all energetic people, so they indirectly say this method. Don't object? Go and hear for yourself what the people of Shaanxi think.

Li Huizhi was just about to accept the order, Zheng Lang sighed: "Under the nest, how can there be eggs?" ”

They all want to reap the benefits from the country, and in the end, the country is gone, can these powerful people still exist?

Li Hui was stunned.

Zheng Lang shouted: "Li Kansi, Your Majesty asked you to accept the order." ”

Li Hui was trembling, it was these people who represented the repeated friction of the powerful, so that Zheng Lang, the prime minister for three and a half years, did not dare to make a big move, but only introduced a farmland water conservancy law and a bank, and laid off some soldiers. I didn't even dare to ask if I saw the number of registered fields in the household department drop again.

Zheng Lang felt extremely disgusted with these ministers. …,

In fact, this is a statement, and as a result, Li Hui was afraid in his heart, and after going to Shaanxi, the new law was very good and could continue to be implemented. As a result, the salt law was not abolished two years later.

Zhao Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly, if you are the prime minister of the DPRK, you will directly state that you will do what you want to do to intimidate a small grinding and exploration division?

Then another thing was said.

The people of Dali Temple on the letter state snatched rice and hurt the main household, the Song Dynasty shouted equality, the actual inequality, once bad when the customer uncovered the main household a piece of bark to satisfy hunger, often felony. Therefore, the death penalty is sentenced, and most capital crimes must be approved by the emperor, and the emperor may not ask them one by one, but occasionally he browses carefully, so that Zhao Zhen can see that he is not guilty. But he said to the auxiliary ministers: "It is pitiful to be hungry and rob rice, and it is difficult to forgive the master if you steal and hurt the master, but the people are ignorant, and it is ultimately because of hunger." ”

It is supposed to be sentenced to death, and it is reasonable to borrow it, so there is this judgment. He also said: "If the punishment is lenient, the people will be slow and light, and if the people are fierce, the people will be cruel, and the government will be lenient and fierce, so that there is no complaint from the top and bottom, then the flood and drought will not be done, and the secretary should be avoided." ”

How could a non-benevolent Lord say this?

Zheng Lang was very moved in his heart, for thousands of years in ancient and modern China, there was such a baby emperor, and said: "Your Majesty's words are all true, not only the auxiliary ministers are precautionary, but the ministers all over the world take this word as a precept, and it is appropriate to use the edict to pass the world." ”

"In the past few years, the country's time has become better, so stay in the palace for a banquet." Zhao Zhen said. It still hasn't gotten better, there are many barbarians in the south who rebel, there are Western Xia in the west, and there is the Khitan in the north, but the people's lives have become better, and they are no longer as in previous years, without food and clothing.

Zheng Langju has made great contributions, and he also has the credit of Wen Yanbo, Pang Ji and others.

But the big thing happened again, Yanchen continued to bathe the court, first deposed Li She, and then abolished the bachelor of Hanlin, and then aimed at another "treacherous evil", Wen Yanbo! But this time it's very fun, for the sake of Wen Yanbo, the Taiwan admonition pinched, Bao Zheng and Tang Jie were pinched to death, and it was dark. (To be continued.)
