After crossing the river, I went to Liaocheng, Bozhou. ,!

Along the way, Zhao Ji was very excited, but this way of being a master made him very confused.

did not immediately look at the way of the above, and continued to interrogate the water conservancy construction all the way, which is Zheng Lang's main responsibility. It's also Zheng Lang, otherwise it's such a big mess, and if other officials come, there will be a big mess in the future. Especially this year, the scope of construction has spread to almost half of the area north of the Yangtze River, and it is not necessary to deal with all kinds of disputes.

In Bozhou, I first met with officials, not only river officials, but also local officials to cooperate.

Then he met with some of the main households and merchants, all of whom had good deeds and had done some good deeds, such as relieving the poor, or building bridges and paving roads for the township, and possibly contributing money and food, participating in disaster relief work, or setting up a school to teach their children.

But this time it's more glorious.

Zheng Lang's fame reached its peak at this time.

In the Song Dynasty, he was not afraid of Lu Yijian, Han Qi, or Zheng Lang. Once you occupy morality, you will be invincible when you meet a god and kill a god, and you will be invincible when you meet a Buddha and kill a Buddha. Wang Anshi was smart and clever in history, and occupied the height of virtue in the first place. Sima Guang woke up a little later, and then lived in a straw hut, and also won the part of morality, so he turned defeat into victory.

A Zheng Lang made these ordinary landlords admire them a lot, and now there is a prince, the son is a modest law, and more than ninety percent are the crown princes and emperors after the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Lang praised them one by one for their white-spoon behavior.

He did this in Taiping Prefecture, but Zhao Ji was still ignorant.

Zheng Lang said in a low voice: "This is the way of the Master. ”

"Is this the way of the Master?" Zhao asked suspiciously, and said, "I don't understand." ”

"Think about it."

Zheng Lang finished in a low voice and continued to talk with everyone. Those who want to enter this occasion will leave a good image for the important ministers of the Song Dynasty and the future crown prince, but if you want to enter the simple and do good deeds.

After the banquet was over, Zheng Lang and Zhao Ji went to the post house to rest.

Strictly abide by the policy of not worrying about the people, even if Zhao Ji is on the side, he does not worry about the people, and lives mostly in the post station.

Zhao Ji said: "Gong Zheng, I still don't understand. ”

"Your Royal Highness, think again."

"I still can't figure it out."

"Think about Kaneda Hideda."

Zhao Ji thought about it for most of the time, but still shook his head, and now he was still too reluctant to let him think about such a profound question.

Zheng Lang didn't embarrass him either, the reason why he didn't tell him the answer immediately and made him think for a long time before telling him was to deepen his impression. Said: "Kantian and Yintian have become an important disadvantage of the imperial court. First, it affects the two taxes of the state, and if officials want to achieve political results, they will inevitably impose taxes on the common people. If you love the people, it will affect taxation and national revenue. Therefore, only to improve this system, Guo Zhi proposed to tax the field equally, and I made improvements, for fear of causing a movement. Later, even my improvement was gradually discarded. It was proposed again a few years ago, but there were many disputes during the implementation below, and there was Sima Guang's policy of equalizing taxes. Han Qi praised Sima Guang for perfecting my equalization tax law. This is wrong. Sima Guang is only an improvement, and it has not been stopped at the root. If you want to stop it, there is a way, the whole country will measure out all the fields, clearly note the number of acres, and tax them on the acres of land. ”

"No," Zhao said.

There are also many children behind Zheng Lang, and these young people Zheng Lang is talking about these aspects, and Zhao Ji has also grown up a part.

"Why?"

"There will be chaos before it dies."

"Medium."

"The reform of the average tax, I and Sima Guang have already taken this step, and further reform will inevitably cause unrest. This is a reform of the system. It is the way of the Chinese to govern the country. There is also a master, and that is the mind. Of course it's harder. Think about the reason again. ”

Zhao Ji pondered.

Zheng Lang said in his heart, Bi Jing returned, is this considered a seedling boost?

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Ji stood up excitedly, danced with his hands, and said, "I figured it out." ”

"Look."

"Greedy and dissatisfied, so the rich want to be rich, the officials want to be high, and the scholars want to be more profound, this is good and bad, it seems that Zheng Gong's books also have this truth."

"There are two sides to everything. It is not possible to generalize. ”

"The rich can't stop them from getting richer, and they will inevitably be disgusted. But you can induce, encourage them to do more good deeds, usually these big households burn incense to worship the Buddha, sometimes give incense money is tens of thousands of dollars, and even take the initiative to donate thousands of acres of fertile land, why can't this kindness be put on the poor people? This is also the cultivation of goodness and the accumulation of virtue. If more landlords and merchants do this, it will give the poor people a chance to live, and second, reduce the resentment caused by the dissatisfaction between the rich and the poor, which will be very beneficial to the stability of the country's rule. The third is to do more, which invisibly reduces the country's hidden fields and fields. It is not like forcibly using the law to deal with it, which causes many contradictions. This is the true way of the Master. ”

"But why have I done it for a long time and I haven't seen much effect?"

"Because Zheng Gong is only doing it, it has little effect, and if the court comes to popularize, the role will become bigger and bigger."

"That's not right," Zheng Lang shook his head, there was one thing he still hadn't figured out, it was because he hadn't figured out the good or bad of a person who had entered, that Guo Meimei in the future.

Because of this woman, the truth of the Red Ten was revealed, Zheng Lang was so bitter in his previous life, and he also donated hundreds of pieces of ocean mud. When the truth is revealed, how can you not be depressed?

The truth has been revealed, but how many people have thought about one thing. When the truth comes out, kill Zheng Lang, and Zheng Lang will not donate money to that cross. Bad head? But it's only a part, yes, there are a lot of charitable funds that have allowed some officials to buy two nǎi, drive a BMW, drink into the head horse, and live in a villa. But some of the donations are also used for the victims, and if they don't donate together, what about charity? If you think about it deeply, it is the moral atmosphere of the whole society that is even more corrupt.

Is it the inventory of the cross?

If the head is killed, China is special, and half of the officials can be killed, as long as the money is true, kill Xia Minghan, and then enter. Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to kill so much, how can he kill it?

There is also a way to correct the ideological concepts that have been formed for a long time, the official standard!

It is a joke that officials should not expect them to be public servants of the people. But let them understand a truth, as the parents of the people, with power, they can't have both, but they must also have the enjoyment brought by money.

But it's simple, how easy is it to get officials to give up their rights and bring all kinds of disguised enjoyment, and do good things for the country and the people wholeheartedly, without being greedy or ink?

The system is not good, and it is also changing the method to make money, but it is more open-minded and fair, and the phenomenon of corruption and bribery is lighter.

However, could the system be implemented in the Song Dynasty?

Not to mention the fact that there are also many flaws.

Zheng Lang said: "The imperial court cannot participate directly, once it participates, it will cause greater disputes, and even some officials forcibly donate money, and donations can often be greedy by officials." However, the imperial court can use public opinion to promote encouragement, and let the main households and merchants do it spontaneously. ”

"Why don't you give advice to Your Majesty?"

"I have been admonished very early, and His Majesty has ordered some good families to enter the palace every few years to commend them, and they also follow the advice of the ministers. But it wasn't enough, and then the Qingli War, the people withered and suffered, and I also relaxed. This also requires a process of wealth accumulation, which can be gradually promoted over time. ”

"Why didn't Zheng Gong admonish this year?"

"Your Majesty's health is not very good, more things are better than less things, you can't be too anxious. There is also the governance of the river, which brings many disputes, and at this time, the promotion of the imperial court will cause the people to question, "Zheng Lang is not finished, you Lao Tzu is not angry, let the emperor spend his old age with peace of mind."

Zhao Ji didn't think about anything else, Zheng Lang was a diehard loyalist of the emperor, the most loyal minister, and it was normal to have this kind of thought.

"And it's done, and you can't rush it. The way of the Superior is good, but it is more difficult. ”

"What else is the way of the Lord?"

"The way of ideological transformation in the whole society is the way of the master," Zheng Lang thought about Confucianism. Let's wait for the river work to be completed. There is no need to be with Zhao Shen.

Zhao Ji wrote to Gao Tao as he had seen and learned along the way.

Zheng Lang didn't stop it, Gao Tao was strong, Zhao Shu wanted to accept a concubine, but he didn't dare, Queen Cao, Queen Cao persuaded her niece, Gao Tao said angrily, I am in charge of Zhao Shisan's affairs, you should take care of yourself when you enter the family. Empress Cao, no, it was Empress Dowager Cao at that time, she was depressed, what should I do, Zhao Zongshi was disobedient, and he could still complain a few words. However, the niece is disobedient, this is a family affair, and the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, so she can only be silent.

This incident had little impact on Gao Tao's heart.

After Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, he decisively delegated power, and even acquiesced in Wang Anshi and his son to initiate reforms.

After causing a lot of chaos, she was in the deep palace, who she listened to, listened to the feedback from her mother's family, and added Zheng Xia's picture, and regretted it. At that time, the court was angry, so that Gao Tao "realized" a truth, and if he wanted to have the right to speak, he had to be arrogant. Then Gao Tao incarnated and became a copper-mouthed iron-toothed Ji Xiaolan.

Then not only was the New Party depressed, but the 1ri Party was also depressed, and it was not good to persuade Lu Gongshu and Fan Chunren to fight honestly.

It's a change of heart.

If Wang Anshi's reform had been successful, and there had been no great drought, Gao Tao might not have been like that.

Zhao Ji wrote honestly, he can not only influence Zhao Ji, but also use Zhao Ji's pen to influence this woman in the future.

In fact, if this woman were not for that violent atmosphere, she would still be very clear-sighted, and she would not be too evil to the common people. The effect is very good, after reading these letters from his son, Gao Taotao seems to have opened a new window.

Then I rejoiced in my heart, fortunately, my uncle's three sons did not grow up, if they grow up smoothly, and then have this prime minister's education, my husband is committing neuropathy from time to time, how can he be the opponent of the authentic emperor's heir? I also understand why Zhao Zhen is as gentle as jade, and there must be differences if he wants to do it, but Zheng Lang is still very gentle in his bones, including this way of governing the country by the master.

Looking at these letters, Zheng Lang's status in Gao Taotao's heart became more and more important.

This is something that Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu can't know, otherwise they will vomit blood.

can make Gao Tao also have a doubt in his heart, his uncle is a good emperor, no need, Zheng Lang is a good minister, why does it end like this, one has a son and one does not live big, and the other has a son but cannot recognize each other.

is good for himself, otherwise his husband will not be able to ascend to the throne, otherwise he will be jealous of this good minister, and he may not dare to use it.

But it's unfair to these two snows, so what's the point?

Don't you have eyes?

For the first time in his life, Gao Taotao had doubts about Shangyao.

On New Year's Day, Zheng Lang returned to Yunzhou.

The construction site is all on holiday, but Zheng Lang has not rested, and he still has to start preparations for the coming year.

But I can take a little time to reunite with my family.

It is not only Zhao Ji who has grown, but also Li Gui. Although Zheng Lang loves him, his education is very strict, and now that Li Gui has seen it, he can politely shout goodbye to his uncle, Weng Weng, and he can write a lot of words and read a lot of books. As for being better than an adopted son.

This made Cui Xian even more depressed.

If it weren't for this surname, the only descendant of the Zheng family would still have a future in the future. With this surname, you are not educated, and you will not worry about wealth and wealth. What can you do if you are learned, at most, like Wang Yiyong, to be a puppet privy envoy.

Zhao Niannu also wrote a letter.

Their mother and daughter left, and there were three younger sisters in the palace, and Zhao Zhen was not very lonely. Zhao Niannu wrote down his son's growth experience, Zhao Zhen was very happy, and sent the eunuch to Yunzhou with some reward items in person.

Soon March too.

The whole river work really has a big appearance, and several northern flows of the Yellow River still dare not be closed, and even the newly opened river does not dare to dig up, leading the river water to Jishui. However, south of Jishui, the canal section of the project was officially completed, or some of the Huai River treatment projects, and the main projects were also completed, including the various water storage lakes. The rest of the work can be done within the limits of one's ability. There are still some sweeping projects in the Bianhe project, and the impact is not great. In the second half of the year, there were not many workers in the south, mainly in the north.

The Yellow River project has not yet been completed, and all rivers north of Boqi Prefecture that enter the sea must be repaired. The main body is the Yellow River, all kinds of embankments, some have several embankments, and even many steep river sections use stone embankments at any cost.

But with the big picture, whether it can withstand the test, Xia Yao can see that it is not the Yellow River, but the Huai River and Bianshui.

In the past three years, nearly 23,000 yuan of money and silk have been used, and in order to raise enough money and silk, the imperial court has compensated for the debts owed by the cultivated land of nearly 10 million yuan, and also issued 50 million yuan of treasury bonds. barely made the money gap over.

It doesn't matter, Zheng Lang rarely communicates with Han Qi about national finances, anyway, he is short of money, so he writes a recital. As for what to do with the money gap next year, Zheng Lang didn't ask at all.

This can also see that Zheng Lang and Han Qi are getting more and more alienated.

Since March, most of the migrant workers have returned to their homes. Construction is still going on on the construction site, with only three or four hundred thousand people, soldiers, and some displaced people who have no arable land, and there are fewer and fewer displaced people. Cultivated land is compensated with bonds, but the encroachment of part of the cultivated land and the emergence of new arable land are distributed to landless tenant farmers or displaced people. Therefore, these entries are mainly soldiers.

Zheng Lang had a little spare time, and the Zheng family began to marry their daughters. One is in Yunzhou and the other is in the Daimyofu, which is not too far away. The dowry is also rich, of course, this family affair is more sensational than when Zheng Ping got married. The Wang family is a real famous family in the eyes of the times.

Zhao Ji is one year older, and the premature endowment is not inferior to Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, but Zhao Miaofu is still good, and Zheng Lang's educational ability at this time is far better than when he was a teenager, and Zhao Ge has grown up very quickly. And under the drive of Zheng Lang, the diet is reasonable, the living habits are reasonable, and he often runs underneath, and his body is becoming healthier and healthier.

But it was still not enough, Zheng Lang began to work on the next step of education, so that he could learn how to deal with local squires and officials.

I went to Shen County, which is also the main county through which Xinkaihe passes. held a banquet, Zheng Lang was invisible behind the scenes, and Zhao Ji sang the leading role.

After the banquet, Zheng Lang called Zhao Ji over and said, "Shizi, at the banquet just now, you had to be too sensational. ”

"Gong Zheng, this is to inspire the people."

"Yes, but it depends on the situation. I asked you to preside over the banquet, it has been overdue, have you ever thought about Your Majesty's feelings? ”

"Yes."

"You're not angry when I'm like this?"

"Loyal to the king, I can be angry, so what's the use of needing Zheng Gong's advice?"

At this point, Zheng Lang was happy in his heart, and said: "First, this is what you did, and you didn't distinguish your identity." But that's just one of them, not the main one. It is better for the superior to not express his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, so as not to speculate below, but lose the ability to judge. ”

"I know, I don't look at what I love and don't look at its shortcomings, I don't look at its shortcomings because I hate it, I don't look at its strengths."

"The two are still different, the former is to avoid the tragedy of the king of Chu's thin waist, and the latter is the amount of tolerance, and the examination of a comprehensive entry. You can express your joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but you should pay attention to the proportions and occasions. Too much, it doesn't work. Less can not lose the role of joy, anger and sorrow. For example, what you just said, praise is a good thing, it can motivate the people, and officials are motivated. But after that, it was too buoyant. The difference between these, you carefully recall. ”

After educating his son in this way, Gao Taotao read the letter, and for the first time felt that he was a derelict mother.

was dumbfounded, and then secretly rejoiced in his heart, if he continues to teach like this, his son is not stupid, and he may not be inferior to his uncle when he becomes a king in the future.

Actually, this year the Song Dynasty was really good.

Because of the defense of the forts in the west of the Quye River, not only the many lost lands of Linzhou were recovered, but the entire territory of Fengzhou was also recovered.

For the Western Xia, they may be unhappy in their hearts, maybe Di Qing died, they breathed a sigh of relief, but this turmoil, the people of the country are not happy, all the tribes have revolted, and the entire Western Xia is still like a pot of boiling water, and they have no intention of what to do with the Song Dynasty.

Originally, there was a turmoil among the smugglers in Jiangnan in history.

This hidden danger also removed more than half of Zheng Lang when he went south. Jiaozhi secretly licked his wounds. The emperor of the Khitan side is concentrating on hunting, and it is too late to play, so he has the heart to think about the Song Dynasty. But Yelu Hongji was still good to Zheng Lang, and every time the messenger came, he brought some gifts to Zheng Lang. Let the Manchu ministers laugh. Not only did Yeluhong bring it, but the queen also sent gifts to Zheng Lang. The two countries are considered honeymoon periods.

This peace and tranquility is like a dream.

There is a Yellow River missing, and there is some money to govern the river, otherwise an unprecedented prosperous era will come.

Zheng Lang slowly let go and received some officials and squires for Zhao Ji.

Not too important officials, the squires don't care about it. This kind of tempering is actually using practice to sharpen the way of controlling the ministers, and it already belongs to teaching the emperor and the prince something at a deeper level.
