Chapter 469: Waves on the River (Part II)
Zheng Lang said: "The Han Dynasty made peace with the Xiongnu, and even married the princess Nangong, but the Xiongnu were still not satisfied, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worked hard, and the Xiongnu went into decline. However, the Han Dynasty was deposed by the army, and the country had a serious crisis. The Turks continued to harass the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Xuanzong finally wiped out the Turks, but the Tang Dynasty overthrew the army, which led to the Anshi Rebellion. However, your country and our dynasty are creating a history, and the two countries have become fraternal states, which is fortunate for the country and the people. ”
This is to fool the slaves of Yelugao.
There is a saying in the Song and Liao periods, saying that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty married the second sister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the Xiongnu, and this matter is also recorded in the "Yuan Turtle of the Book of Books". In fact, it's not right, Princess Nangong first married Nangong Hou Zhang Zao, and then married Yun Shen, which shows that Princess Nangong has always been in the country, where did she marry the Huns.
Zheng Lang also knew that the first was to warn the Khitan not to gain an inch, and the second was to pave the way for the Khitan envoy in the future.
At least let the Khitan monarchs think that they are very good, and they want peace between the two countries, and they are Song Chen, who is full of friendship with the Khitan.
Gao Jianu got up and bowed down and said, "Zheng Xianggong has far-reaching vision. ”
Then dance, drink and return to the inn drunk.
The next day, Zheng Lang went to Zhongshu Province, and several bigwigs looked at him with a little strange eyes.
However, Zhao Zhen understood, and asked people to call Zheng Lang into the inner palace and asked, "Zheng Qing, can you come up with a good way to get out of the Khitan?" ”
Why do the Khitan envoys respect Zheng Lang, is that they regard Zheng Lang as the future Han Derang, if Zheng Lang does not defect to the Khitan and is not used by the Khitan, what do these envoys respect?
"It's still early, Chen is thinking slowly. However, the minister did some foreshadowing yesterday, "Zheng Lang told him what happened. He was a courtier, and he met with the envoys of the enemy country in private. There are also some things that are not very good, so it is necessary to report the experience and reduce taboos.
"The Khitan really doesn't want Western Xia to grow?"
"Your Majesty. Definitely don't want to, at least for now they don't want to admit that Western Xia has developed to the point. ”
"That Fan Zhongyan's words ......"
"You can't say it's wrong, you have to plan for everything."
"Not bad. Alas, I regret it even more, they wanted my princess in the first place, and they gave it to them. ”
"Your Majesty, by all means, the Lord humiliates the ministers to death. In the previous Han and Tang dynasties, only the Tang Dynasty married more princesses, because they originally had half of the Hu blood, and the Han and Hu families were not ashamed. How can I do that? And His Majesty has few children, and he marries in a foreign country, how can he be embarrassed? ”
Zhao Zhen paced back and forth, not for this matter. Zheng Lang came to risk his life. The more the Khitan people are like this, the more worried Zhao Zhen is. Suddenly, he said to the eunuch, "Bring Princess Fukang here." ”
Zheng Lang was sweating a little.
Since this little princess told him her name, Zheng Lang was a little scared in his heart, now he is small, it doesn't matter. But time flies quickly, growing up year by year, Zhao Zhen is soft, and something in the palace will be reported to the market immediately. If there are any gossips, I can't wash them away by jumping into the Yellow River. When the time comes, don't talk about the family dispute of this little princess, and you won't have time to avoid suspicion!
The little princess brought it, and Zhao Zhen said, "Salute Zheng Qing." ”
Zhao Niannu was at a loss and asked, "Father, what kind of courtesy?" ”
I am a princess, and the other party is a minister, and I haven't learned what etiquette to do.
"Let's do the teacher's salute."
"Oh, Zheng Xianggong, do you want to teach me to write again (The princess and queen of the Song Dynasty called me more when they saw their courtiers, so they changed it to me for the sake of easy reading.) In the Song Dynasty, my title has appeared, and I use it less, and I am more of me, Yu, you are you, Er)? ”
"Let you salute, and be wordy."
"Your Majesty, the princess is still young, don't frighten her, and the minister is still the guardian knight of His Highness." Zheng Lang looked at Zhao Niannu, whose mouth was about to be flattened, and said.
"Alas, Zheng Qing, you deserve to be worshiped by her."
This is Zhao Zhen's personality charm, so after his death, the cry filled the entire Song Dynasty, not only all the Song Dynasty people were crying, but even the Khitan people were crying. Not only was he crying at the time, but he also made the entire Song Dynasty nostalgic for hundreds of years. In Chinese history, only Zhao Zhen did this. …,
This situation also affects the harem, Zhang Meimei's favor is set in the three thousand harem, and she suddenly got sick, and said to Zhao Zhenjin: "The concubine is thin and favored, so she summons disasters and illnesses, and is willing to be demoted to a beauty, which can avoid the curse of God." ”
So he took Xiu Yuan as a beauty.
Therefore, Zheng Lang is not disgusted with this beautiful girl.
Zheng Lang reluctantly accepted the bow of Princess Fukang, and said: "Your Majesty, Han Qi will go to Shaanxi to pacify and preside over the reduction of troops, the minister is worried about this, the drought in Shaanxi is getting worse and worse this year, and because of the minister, many people were forcibly relocated from Western Xia, as well as a large number of prisoners of war, scattered in the area from Guanzhong to Jingwei. These people have always been suspicious of our dynasty, and some family members are still in Western Xia, and Yuan Hao is good at using counter-plots, if he takes the opportunity to agitate, it may become a disaster. ”
It is right to arrest the people, there are few people in the Western Xia, and all the people are soldiers, and arresting two households is equivalent to reducing one soldier in the Western Xia in disguise. Zheng Lang originally concentrated them in order to lure the enemy. Later, these civilians and prisoners of war were scattered and placed in various places. Even if there is a drought, it doesn't matter, but there are still bad things happening in Guan Jian, Zhang Hai and Guo Miaoshan held large-scale uprisings in Shaanxi and western Beijing, and they are afraid that these people will take the opportunity to cause chaos.
"It's about prevention."
"There are a few more things to play."
"Come on."
"Meishanman has always plagued the southwest, and with their drive, the southern barbarians have always been difficult to control, and this is only one of them. The deterioration of water and soil in the north will make disasters more frequent in the future, and if we want to solve the food crisis, we must start from the south. Nowadays, the southeast is developed, from Jiangdong to the Taihu Lake Basin, and has become a pivotal granary. However, the population is constantly increasing, and in the past 10 years or 20 years, if the wind and rain are good, the country has already taken precautions, and the grain can basically be equal. But in the long run, there will still be a new food crisis. If you want to solve the problem, you can't start from the north, if the north is a big water conservancy, there is room for expansion, but the more you expand, the more serious the damage to water and soil. ”
This idea was nearly a thousand years ahead of its time.
But Zheng Lang repeatedly lost, which played some role, and Zhao Zhen said hesitantly: "What is Qing's good strategy?" ”
"There's still a way, to the south. If the Xiangjiang River basin is developed, it will become another new rice warehouse for our dynasty. Secondly, if the Xijiang River (Pearl River) is developed. The cultivated land area is more extensive, but it is a pity that it is far away, and it is difficult for Gyeonggi to do it. To develop the Xiangjiang River, it is necessary to solve the Meishanman. It may not be necessary to start immediately, but the imperial court needs to prepare in advance and send some spies to inquire about the customs and customs of Meishanman, the distribution of terrain and tribes, so as to plan in the future. "In fact, with the current navigation technology of the Song Dynasty, even without the promotion of the Ping An Prison, it is enough to spread all over the colonies overseas. But there are many difficulties, and I am not interested in overseas monarchs. The people did not want to leave their homeland. There is another thing, Zheng Lang has never figured it out, in later generations, a certain Po was mostly an orthodox Han Chinese, why did he seduce Mei Dad to the South China Sea more badly than other countries and hinder China's development? This reason did not work out, and he was not very interested in the colonies.
"Where is it not easy to solve......" Zhao Zhen said hesitantly.
The national independents have repeatedly eulogized Meishan, which is wrong. The Song Dynasty sent people to appease Meishan one after another, but the people didn't listen at all, and it was not good to suppress it, the mountains were lush and the Song Dynasty was helpless. Half of the largest area of Zhejiang Province is classified as Forbidden Plum Mountain, as if it did not exist at all. Seeing the Song Dynasty like this, Meishan was bold and strong, and kept sending people down the mountain to loot, or kill people and set fires, and did all kinds of evil. In the Chinese book alone, Zheng Lang has seen dozens of twists and turns of the Meishan Barbarian Incident.
Then I thought of the words of some brick families later, and I hated to wear it back again, and used bricks to shoot these bricks and the author of Mei Shanman on Du Niang to death.
"Don't worry, send some spies first, don't use much money, take precautions." Zheng Lang said slowly. Meishanman is close to Tanzhou in the east, that is, Changsha, and if Meishanman is not solved, Changsha will not be developed into one of the four major rice cities. …,
"Accurate," Zhao Zhen said. The three spies turned the clouds in the north, making Zhao Zhen also realize the importance of scouts.
"Your Majesty can set up a small port in Banqiao, Mizhou, and send merchants to the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, so that they can cut down timber and come to trade with our dynasty, otherwise we will make a large number of pine fir in a year. In addition, houses are built every year, and furniture is built, and a large amount of wood is needed, which aggravates the damage of water and soil in the north. ”
Mizhou Banqiao Port is in the later Jiaozhou Bay, which is useless and undoubtedly a natural harbor. Although it is convenient to put it at the entrance of Jishui and the Yellow River, it is close to the Khitan, and the ministers of the DPRK and China will not be at ease, and there is a lot of silt and sand outside the coast of the Bohai Sea, and the ship is easy to run aground, and it is inconvenient to use it as a port. Mizhou do port, or Song Zhezong's time, Fan Yi on the book Chen Mizhou port of the benefit, Ming and Hangzhou two states are only two water Zhejiang Road, and Banqiao radiation northwest several roads, the north has silk cotton silk and many other brand-name products, more attractive than the south, Banqiao is close to the capital, easy to come and go, no risk of Jianghuai Canal indulging, so once the port is established, overseas things in the treasury must be more than Ming and Hangzhou two states.
It is an exaggeration to say, although it is close to the capital, there is no good river, and a large distance needs to be transported by land, in comparison, although there is less danger of shipwrecks in the Yangtze River and the Huai River and the Grand Canal, the freight is slightly higher. Hangzhou has the Grand Canal, and the radiation area is not only the two Zhejiang, but also the cities along the Yangtze River, as well as the area around the Grand Canal, and Zhejiang, which are all the most economically developed areas in the Song Dynasty. No matter how it is compared, the throughput of Mizhou will not exceed that of Hangzhou.
But it is indeed a good harbor.
Zhao Zhen hesitated a little and said, "It's too close to the Khitan." ”
"It doesn't matter, you can follow the example of Hebei Rongchang, set up a fence at the city, send soldiers to patrol, distinguish people in and out, etc. Moreover, there is a lack of ink-making pine in the country, the price of ink is expensive, and readers cannot afford to use ink, which is also a century-old plan. Zheng Lang said slowly.
It's not a question of ink, it's a question of environmental protection. Once the large-scale barter of wood, with the current understanding of the environment, and closer to Jiaozhou Bay, if the wind and the ocean flow are smooth, and the wood will be discharged to the port in two or three days, then the coastal area will become a bald mountain in only two or three hundred years in these two obscene countries. What does this have to do with Zheng Lang? Do you really want to be benevolent, benevolent to go to a foreign country?
"This too," Zhao Zhen finally agreed. In his heart, the use of ink by readers is the top priority, and he doesn't understand the environment.
"These are a few maps, which can be handed over to Wang Zhaoming, and most of the Japanese people show their covetousness for overseas needs, and once the whole country is conquered, the two needs will be gone. Let Wang Zhaoming gradually distribute these needs to ease the greed of the Japanese people. In addition, although overseas is thick, but after being away from home for many years, the imperial court also sent military horses for rotation as appropriate. "I was given a map of gold and silver needs, and gradually handed it over to the various heroes of the Japanese country, and handed it over to whoever did not care, but if there was a need everywhere, the Japanese people would shift their attention in a few decades. After decades of frenzied mining, even gold and silver have been left in ruins. Although this move allowed the Japanese to get some gold and silver, it may not be a good thing, and it is purely a waste to open up demand now, especially the associated needs, which cannot be refined at all. Even if some gold and silver were obtained, trade would expand, and eventually it would inevitably circulate to the Song Dynasty.
What was most lacking in the Song Dynasty at this time? Currency. Even if there is a peace prison, there is no forty or fifty years, and the currency cannot be satisfied. However, if you want to open a bank in the future, you must have enough currency as a fund, otherwise the bank is just talking. With the banks, the economy will run well, and with the developed commerce of the Song Dynasty, commerce and the economy will reach an unprecedented peak.
didn't say much, and Zhao Zhen may not be able to understand it.
Looking at the map, Zhao Zhen said, "Zheng Qing, you can write that Gewuxue." ”
It's simply amazing.
"The minister will write that the country is in a serious crisis during this time, so it will be dealt with gradually. A few mothers in the family are not in good health, and when they get through this difficulty, the minister wants to go back to Zhengzhou to rest for a while, take care of a few mothers, in order to fulfill filial piety, by the way, modify the mean, write out benevolence and righteousness, and then teach some knowledge of physical science, and reserve talents for the future of the country. ”…,
"You don't have to go back to Zhengzhou...... Zhao Zhen was speechless, stunned and said: "The affairs of Zhongshu Province can be handed over to others, whether there is Fan Qing, Jia Qing, or Zhang Qing......"
"In his position, he has to seek his government, and the minister, as the deputy minister of the Eastern Mansion, ignores the affairs of the Eastern Mansion and concentrates on repairing the book, which is a very bad start. There's no hurry, it's early. ”
The four points that Zheng Lang said may or may not be important, and it will not hinder the elegance, and then the monarch's eyes continued to stare at the Khitan. The Khitan specially notified the Song Dynasty and sent an envoy, and the Song Dynasty could not use this reason to send an envoy to the Khitan, and it was too weak, so it first sent the resident of the house to know the system of Sun Jian as the birthday envoy of the Khitan mother, and Feng Xingji, the deputy envoy of Luoyuan. Zhang Zhangyuzhi, the deputy envoy of salt and iron, was the Khitan birthday envoy, and Ding Yiyi, the deputy of the official in the west. Yu Shiyu is the same as the Khitan mother Zhengdan envoy, and Li Weixian, the general secretary of the door, is the deputy. Li Yue of the Ministry of Industry Langzhong is the Khitan Zhengdan envoy, and Zhao Mu, the official of the east head, is the vice-president. Because Emperor Yeluxian of Liaojing had a virtuous character, he renamed Li Weixian Li Baochen to avoid suspicion.
The latter Zheng Lang doesn't care, Guan Jian is the former who makes Zheng Lang shake his head, as for sending so many envoys?
Ouyang Xiu wrote again and said that Zhongshu was incompetent, Zheng Lang smiled bitterly, you can't scold me, you have to scold, you have the courage to name and scold Yan Shu and Zhang.
There is no need to scold, the big incident happened again.
Guo Miaoshan was in Shaanxi, and Zhang Hai broke out in Dengzhou. Gaoyou's ugly drama was staged again, and Zhang Hai was only a few dozen people when he raised an incident in Dengzhou, but the local inspection and county lieutenants did not dare to move forward. It's okay, the uglier ones are in the back.
Unlike Wang Lun, this uprising was more organized, and several rebel armies in Shaanxi, Dengzhou, and Yingzhou quickly united together, and they had a clearer goal than Wang Lun.
After receiving the report from the palace, because of the concealment of the officials below, the bigwigs in the capital still didn't know that Zhang Hai was the leader of more than 20 Dengzhou thieves in Ouyang Xiu's compromise, thinking that it was the rebellious people in Shaanxi, Zheng Lang said helplessly: "No, Zhang Hai is the leader of the Dengzhou thieves." ”
Even if you kill a thief, you have to find out who you want.
Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair and said distractedly: "What's the matter?" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
