"Zheng Zhizhou, we're leaving," Jia Changchao said.

"Go slowly," Zheng Lang said lightly, and didn't send it away, but after getting along for so long, the three officials knew that his surname Gezi seemed violent, but it was actually weak.

Like the three of them for the disaster victims, they complained to him for a long time, but they didn't explain, and finally asked, only to tell the truth, and only then did they understand how far-reaching he thought. Unless it hinders him from doing something of great significance, it doesn't matter what you think of him or what you say about him.

Officials who are higher than him, don't expect him to stammer, but he won't be bullied either. Officials who are lower than him, don't expect him to put down his frame to win over, but he won't be sluggish as a boss.

I don't expect him to send the three of them affectionately.

"But ......," Cai Xiang said embarrassedly.

The three prisoners were brought back, and Zheng Lang dealt with it quickly, and quickly assigned the three brothers of the He family to all the fields in Jingmin Wei to confiscate them, compensated the three victims, and also divided fifty acres of land to the Ding family. is only fifty acres, although Ding Laosan died unjustly, half of the reason is that he is to blame.

And he cut out a hundred acres of land from it and gave it to the families of the three brothers. There is very little land, and the family only has more than 30 acres. To prevent conflicts, he exchanged with the people of Youminwei. The rest of the family property was confiscated. However, none of the people in Taiping Prefecture said that the handling was unfair.

Most of them think it's too light.

The rest is the matter of Song Zhen and the three of them.

However, the three talented men discussed for most of the day, but they didn't know how to report after they went back.

"But what?"

"We can't go back like this."

"And what do you think should be done?"

"......" Cai Xiang can't answer, it's hard to lie when he goes back, and he can't lie, and the criminal has to go to Beijing for interrogation again.

Zheng Lang said again: "If the emperor asks, you can answer it for me, and the minister has another answer." ”

"What answer?"

"I can't say it, but the emperor is a benevolent monarch, and this benevolence is not only for the scholars, but also for all the people. Lu Xianggong, I have praised him many times for doing practical things, Wang Xianggong, Song Xianggong, Cai Xianggong and other ministers are all famous in the world, Du Yushi is an all-powerful and all-German minister, Fan Fu Yin is selfless, this case is not difficult to solve, as long as the real murderer will be enforced, the minister will apologize to several ministers, say another answer, and there is a bigger surprise, to Your Majesty, to all ministers. ”

Isn't it hard to ask?

It's not hard!

What is the murderer trying to do?

If you want to burn hundreds or thousands of people, if you succeed, what kind of murder will it be? Even if Zhao Yuanyan did it, he also had to do some punishments. Besides, the court is not a dark court, and it made a fuss, but Zheng Lang had to admit that the distribution of power in the court was very reasonable, Lu Yijian was doing practical things, Wang Zeng, Cai Qi, and Song Shouqing were famous, and Du Yan, as the middle of the imperial history, was not only upright, but also considered things in the long run, and it was Fan Zhongyan who was in charge of Kaifeng Mansion, and the emperor was even more benevolent. Will the murderer be spared?

But why did Zheng Lang say it?

A hint of suspicion flashed in the eyes of the three of them.

Zheng Lang said again: "Bring me another gift for Your Majesty." ”

He clapped his hands as he spoke.

Fan Zhongyan brought a piece of grass to Zhao Zhen as a gift, and don't expect Zheng Lang to get any real treasure to "bribe" Zhao Zhen, the two have completely different surnames, but they have many similar characteristics in some aspects, such as backbone.

But not grass.

A dozen bundles of sugar cane.

Zheng Lang said: "I secretly taught people to plant this last winter, just in time for the harvest season. ”

Sugarcane was widely planted in the Song Dynasty, and there were many ways to divide the varieties alone, such as the coarse and fine classification can be divided into Kunlun, Jiadi, green gray, and nut, the first three can be refined sugar, but the nut cane is a defective product, you can eat it, but you can't refine sugar. Or it is divided into four kinds: Du, West, Gun, and Red, red cane can only be eaten raw, cane can be used as granulated sugar, and cane can be made as frosting, but it is not good, the color is light, the scholars do not like it, and the best thing to do frosting is Du cane. Or according to the region, there are Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangzhou, Shuchuan, Jinghu South Road, among which Fujian Futang, Zhedong four, Ming, Guangdong Pan, Yu and Shuchuan Guangzhou, Han, Sui, Ning are the most famous. Can't be mistaken, not the best in Lingnan, Lingnan only Pan, Yu is the best, other local varieties have such and such shortcomings, Zheng Lang introduced the fourth, Mingdu cane.

The planting method is also different from that of later generations, remembering that the cane seeds were taken out of the cellar in the spring, and the small fields were raised, and the fields were transferred in late spring, and even interplanted in two seasons.

Not now, choose the short one first, the short one is dense, and the bud is many, which is the same as in later generations. But Zheng Lang is for the test, it doesn't matter. Then dig the pit two feet deep, the pit is wide and narrow, and the cane tail is cut off, and the pit is upside down and covered with soil.

It's different, first of all, the pit is deep.

The seasons are also different, and they will be planted in the pit in the winter months.

Later, it is almost the same, deep raking the soil, making the soil loose, and then freezing and crispy in winter, the sugarcane is easier to grow in the second year.

And because it is the most labor-intensive, once planted, can not be mixed with any crops, the second year must be fallow land, or even two years off, for other crops to cultivate, after a year or two before replanting. However, the benefits of planting sugarcane are greater than the benefits of planting crops, and some local governments would rather not have this benefit, and strictly prohibit the cultivation of sugarcane. However, in order to survive, the people, especially the people of Fujian Road, who are narrow, risk the prohibition of planting.

It should also be noted that Zheng Lang planted it, and his biggest confidence was to open a lot of Dawei, don't impeach me, it is because of me that he has produced a lot of food, and it is reasonable to plant some sugarcane. Now there are so many victims, I want them to live a better and more reasonable life.

It is not harvested until October of the following year, and too early or too late can affect its sugar content.

So this batch of sugarcane has just been cut down.

The general direction does not dare to move, there is a problem of plant evolution, in the Song Dynasty, it was planted in winter, so it had to be planted in winter.

In the small aspect, some changes were made, and the nutrient bowl was played, not only the single plant was transferred, but the seedlings were deliberately raised in the nutrient bowl, and the seedlings were raised before the small field, and the field was only lowered in the spring.

There are also some changes, adding cake fertilizer, wanting it to be sweet, chemical fertilizer does not work, and manure is also not very useful, it is only tall and strong, only cake fertilizer, especially rapeseed cake fertilizer, can sweeten.

But it's hard to say, the sugarcane of a thousand years ago is completely different from the sugarcane of a thousand years later, until the summer comes, seeing the growth of sugarcane in those few acres, it is confirmed that the seedling of the small field nutrition bowl has not delayed its growth, but made it grow better, and gradually revealed some rumors, in fact, Zheng Lang really took it to heart at this time.

Still no one knew his exact plan.

Can't say.

I'll do it first, like the polder, and make it, and you can't let me destroy the polder. I can only obediently watch the consequences of my actions.

Let the Yang brothers peel off the skin, take a bite and say, "It's so sweet, you can eat a few pieces before leaving." ”

Are we still in the mood to eat sugar cane?

It's been cut, just eat it, take a bite, and it's really sweet.

Then a dozen bundles of sugar cane were brought on the road.

Dongyue and his party returned to the capital.

The murderer was arrested, and the officials of the Criminal Department came to ask, where do you have to write the confession and the facts of the case to us, otherwise how can we investigate the murderer behind the scenes in the capital? Otherwise, how could you decide to hand it over to Dali Temple or Kaifeng Mansion?

But at least two of the three are big names, and the status of the Great Song Dynasty and Jia Changchao is very prominent, at least not much worse than the officials from the Criminal Department. The officials of the Criminal Department had no choice but to come over in person and politely ask the reason.

The three of them told the story with sad faces.

The officials of the Criminal Department are also hard, how to file this? Could it be that Zheng Lang and a dozen ghosts were written on the document, and after talking for a while, the truth of the case came out.

There is also an official who didn't believe it, and asked the He family Sangou, Sangou arrived in the capital, and he was in a better mood, bowing his head and stabbing his head, and he couldn't survive, but these ghosts didn't have the ability to come to the capital to find trouble for themselves.

Tell the truth generously.

The group of officials was dumbfounded, and once again said to a few bigwigs in Dongfu, let's not get it, what do you think?

A few bigwigs said to Zhao Zhen again.

Zhao Zhen was also dumbfounded, and called the three of them, as well as the dozen or so bundles of sugar cane, which were not good things, leaving one bundle to stay in the middle book, and the rest to be taken to the palace. Let the little official peel the skin, and the group ate sugar cane, good, well planted, very sweet.

After eating the sugar cane, let's get down to business.

After saying it again, Jia Changchao said: "Your Majesty, we didn't go in front, and we heard water, fire, and moisture in the back, and the minister faintly felt that it was not only the death of Ding Laosan, so we went to Dingjiazhuang together. ”

It's, go see it because it's haunted, curious. I didn't think about it at the time.

The only thing that can be thought of is the three brothers of the He family.

But to say this, it proves that you are not a dry eater, and you also have wisdom, hindsight, and do not do it in vain.

Zhao Zhen nodded.

Jia Changchao said again: "After hearing the screams, the ministers also came out, and they saw the scenes with their own eyes. The shaking of the coffin lid and the shaking of the funeral lantern may be the use of some means by Zheng Zhizhou. The case more than ten years ago was about to come out, and he recognized the three brothers of the He family at a glance, which may be Zheng Zhizhou's wisdom. Kechen couldn't understand why there were so many voices, cries, and shouts, floating in the night sky? Although it was a little foggy, there was moonlight, and there was nothing in the sky except the stars and the moon and some clouds, not even a single night bird. And how those talismans rose to the sky, rose so high that in the end they were not visible to the naked eye. ”

"Haunted?" Zhao Zhen looked at several prime ministers in disbelief.

Then look at Lu Yijian and Song Shou.

first repaired the music book, and then Song Shou led a large group of literati to compile a total of 49 volumes of "General Regulations of Chinese Books", and then Lu Yijian read it every day, saying that he would talk about it, and he would talk about it when he met people, as long as he read this book, even if he was a mediocre man, he could also be the prime minister.

It's amazing.

In history, Sima Guang also revised "Zizhi Tongjian", and when it was his turn to be the prime minister, he was competing with the domineering female Gao Tao, who was more confused.

The reason why Lu Yijian takes it so seriously, Zheng Lang guessed, there are many reasons, the original book Zheng Lang has not seen it, it is about to be repaired well, since Zhao Yuanyan and the little maid burned down the library, many precious books have been burned, and the appearance of this book has a unique value.

In addition, Lu Yijian wanted to have a good relationship with Song Shou.

You can't be angry and resentful, and you can't oppose him together, and there is no way to do things. The reason is the same as praising Fan Zhongyan for opening and sealing the mansion.

But Song Shou and Lu Yijian were relatively speechless.

If you look through the entire set of "General Examples of Chinese Books", you can't see the same examples.

It's okay to say that Zheng Lang is pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, just like Zheng Lang exposed the trick of Zhishan, set up a law, and broke the law.

What means can be used to make people speak and cry in the sky, and let everyone not see it, and what means can be used to make Fu Chang's wings fly into the sky?

Zhao Zhen asked again: "Is it really haunted?" Can I summon the Qingxu Dao Leader to the capital? ”

You have to ask, it's rare to be quiet, the prime ministers don't agree, and if you issue an edict yourself, it is possible that the official will come to spit again.

Song Zhen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty can't, Zheng Zhizhou said it himself, there is another answer, probably using some means, but he didn't say it." ”

can't make trouble, it really used means to summon Qingxu to the capital as a god, and the face of the entire capital officials was also lost.

"Why don't you say it?"

Song Zhen repeated Zheng Lang's original words.

Lu Yijian said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, let's let Dali Temple secretly investigate." ”

Can't be handed over to Fan Zhongyan, since he served as the governor of the palace, the iron face is selfless, not the former mansion Yin Shengdu, as long as a group of kings and grandsons in the capital commit a crime, they will be immediately arrested and dealt with, and in less than half a month, the capital is solemn. This case was handed over to Fan Zhongyan to handle, that is, to find out Zhao Yuanyan's head, he could really take someone to go straight to the Eight Great Palaces, find out the Eight Great Kings, and go to the palace to ask for an explanation. Others will consider it, but this fierce man will definitely not give half of it.

Zhao Zhen thought about it for a while and finally understood.

Don't listen to Zheng Lang's fools, or do an internal investigation, if you can deal with it, deal with it, if you can't deal with it, internal warning, what should you do? Is it possible to bring Uncle Eight Wangs to justice? Although he may not have a big surname, before the truth comes out, everything is not easy to say.

Cai Xiang and Da Song glanced at each other and had nothing to say. Dare to let Zheng Lang guess it all!

Zhao Zhen changed the topic and asked again: "I heard in the capital that someone sent money to Taiping Prefecture by himself?" ”

"Yes, the ministers were also present, and when they asked him where he came from, they didn't answer."

"Why do you need so much money?"

"I didn't know it, but I only heard his students talk about sugar cane and grass and cotton."

"Sugar cane, grass cotton?" Everyone was puzzled together. Sugarcane has a high profit, but even if it makes frosting, the effect time is too slow, the cost is very high, not to see a success, but to see the effect in a few years, Zheng Lang and tens of thousands of victims can't wait, and can't afford to wait. Cao cotton makes everyone even more puzzled, this thing is only available in Lingnan, what does it have to do with Jiangdong?

Holding the sugar cane in his hand, he felt that it had a deep meaning, but he couldn't think of it.

Zhao Zhen glanced at the south and suddenly laughed.

Although it is elusive, this is also a skill.

Everyone dispersed, Zhao Zhen was in a rare mood, and went to the imperial garden to take a turn, this turn happened, just let Zhao Zhen see the sedan chair that Guo used to sit on, and other emperors saw it, but Zhao Zhen is a peerless good man with a very soft heart and a soft heart.

There were no tears until dawn, but at this moment I remembered the old and thought of a poem. The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze.

It seemed that Guo Shi was sitting in a sedan chair and smiling at him, but as soon as the north wind blew, it was empty, and people went to the sedan chair. After all, after being a husband and wife for more than ten years, Zhao Zhen felt very desolate and sentimental, so he made a song "Qing Jinzhi" and sent it to Changning Palace.

When Sister Guo saw this little poem, she was so sad that she cried.

Regret and sadness.

In the palace of the Song Dynasty, she was not the only one who was domineering, and later Gao Tao was more powerful than her, but there was an aunt Empress Dowager Cao who was covered, and she had a son, which became capital, so Song Yingzong was very sad from beginning to end, and she could only have one woman, not only Song Yingzong, Zhao Zhen, Shenzong and Zhezong, the four emperors all made Gao Tao very miserable. even forced Zhezong to acquiesce in Lin Xi's depreciation, Lao Zhan was arrogant to the country, and scolded his own grandmother for being Lao Jian!

At this time, her domineering did not attack, and she was moved by Zhao Zhen's words, and Guo Shi also made a small poem to answer Zhao Zhen. This poem was very successful, but because of what happened later, it disappeared from the world. In short, after Zhao Zhen saw this poem, she was so sad that she sent someone to recall her back to the palace.

But Guo did not agree.

At this time, she was stupid again, and said to the messenger that if she saw the summoned person again, she would have to be registered by a hundred officials.

She must be re-registered as the queen by civil and military officials, and she will be willing to return to the palace.

You have to think about it, who is the prime minister now?

After Zhao Zhen heard the answer, he chose to be silent.

I still have a good impression of Guo's Zhao Zhen, after all, I have lived for so many years, but I don't have any good feelings for Sister Cao, Zhao Zhen at the moment. No one will have a good impression, I am the emperor, how can I let the minister stuff a queen for me, what's the matter. This is the reason why he did not refuse in one gulp.

After the re-establishment of the Guo family, what has become? Hugh said that he is the king of a country, and husbands and wives don't play like this, they will play with the dead. And if you want to abolish the Cao family, the difficulty will be ten times higher than that of the Guo family. Therefore, there was no promise.

The mental activities of the two parties cannot be clarified by outsiders.

Kwok wouldn't be that stupid, would he? Is it also a way to express the sky-high price?

Zhao Zhen doesn't have to hesitate, he doesn't have to think about it, it's impossible to re-establish it.

It is this silence that worries some. What if? At this time, the hair on Zhao Zhen's mouth has not all grown, and the work is not firm, what if a whim comes, this woman returns to the palace and becomes the queen! It hadn't happened yet, the capital was peaceful, and many people turned their attention to the south again.

Then at home, thinking about it is laughter, there are far more people who laugh than cry, and I don't understand, did I really ask the ghost, or did I use some means? But it's also like a chess game, I put it out, it's a game, it's definitely not a dead game, and then wait for you to break the game.

If you can't break it, don't try to ask me.

Even Ouyang Xiu found his friend Cai Xiang to ask what happened, Cai Xiang said depressedly: "Don't ask me, if it is arranged, then he succeeded, Hugh wants to say the common people, the hair on my body at that time made the weird scene stand up in fright." If it weren't for the fact that Zheng Zhizhou lost a tail of words when he was leaving, I would have thought that he had asked the ghost. ”

Ouyang Xiu didn't believe it, and asked again: "Did you hear someone shouting and crying in the sky?" ”

"Yes, not much, but several, old men, women, young men, really voices in the sky. I can still tell this. ”

Ouyang Xiu also wondered, pretending to be a god and a ghost, you have to ask someone to pretend to be a god and a ghost, but how to put people in the sky, even if they have the ability to make people grow wings and fly up, why didn't anyone see it? It's just that Zheng Lang got out of the hot air balloon and glider, and there is no way to explain it, such a big thing, floating in the night sky, or gliding by, and everyone can't see it?

Countless bigwigs and talents in the capital scratched their scalps and couldn't figure it out.
