Nong Zhigao wrote to Chen Heng, begging for the first place on the border, and the market was the goods of the two worlds.

Nong Zhigao still doesn't understand the system of the Song Dynasty, and how can a small Zhizhou be in charge of the situation at the border? Even if the transfer enables the master, it must be notified to the imperial court before it can be approved. It also shows that Nong Zhigao's ambition is two realms, not the border between two states, and the four characters have become two words, and the meanings are completely different.

After Chen Heng received Nong Zhigao's letter, he did not report or reply. Report that because of the two worlds, he will be despised by the bigwigs in the temple, thinking that he is cowardly and incompetent, how to reply, and refusing Nong Zhigao will be angry, allowing himself to have no such qualifications at all. In addition, there was a ban when Zhenzong was originally forbidden, and it was not allowed to be exchanged with Guangyuan City, so it was as if he had not received this letter.

But what is Nong Zhigao's heart?

The idea was to try to drag the Song Dynasty into the water in order to resist the Yue Li Dynasty, and it seemed that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was not a fool and would not succeed, so he took a step back and opened the gap with the field first.

If the plan failed, Nong Zhigao had another plan, sent people to pay tribute, and begged to make up for the history of Tianzhou. Tianzhou is a fetter state within the jurisdiction of Yongzhou, and in the east of Tianyang, Guangxi, it seems that this request is not excessive, and now the actual control of the Nong clan is not just a fetter state? In fact, this job search is secretly killing, Tianzhou is in Tianyang, but his base camp is in Guangyuan Prefecture, if it is the official state capital, Nong Zhigao is helpless, but Tianzhou is a fetter state, and the strength of Zhutong is far inferior to Nong's. Once Nong Zhigao gets this important position, he can call on more than 30 subordinate prefectures of Yongzhou (later defeated Jiaozhi, and officially incorporated Guangyuan Prefecture, Qiyuan Prefecture and other prefectures into the Song Dynasty, so that Yongzhou has forty-four prefectures, less than forty at this time) More than half of them can be called, and even Hengshan Chongzhai is included. At that time, if the Song Dynasty does not help him, he will lose more land, and if he succeeds, it is estimated that the Song Dynasty will not help him. He also has more power in his hands. Helping him made him succeed, and the Song Dynasty was completely dragged into the water. For the sake of the Nong family, he did not hesitate to fight with Jiaozhi.

How much would the First World War cost?

More than 100,000 soldiers died, not on the battlefield, and Jiaozhi did not have that ability, but died at the hands of miasma. Countless manpower and material resources have been mobilized. And once the Song Dynasty did so. It will not be possible to station a large number of troops in Yongzhou for a long time, and once the Great Song Dynasty is thorough, the entire Yongzhou region and even the broader area will be owned by him.

Even if the border is not expanded, the area radiated from Tianzhou to Qiyuan Prefecture is almost the size of Hainan Island.

In the hands of Chen Heng, he still did not return or report. Some people say that he is clever and sees through Nong Zhigao's tricks, and some people say that he is mediocre. If you accept Nong Zhigao's kindness, the more you resist together, how can Nong Zhigao rebel? The former is exaggerated, and the latter doesn't understand anything except it, or it is an ulterior motive statement, and he will not rebel, and the father and son emperors have been doing it for more than ten years, and it is not called rebellion? Yuan Hao is so tough. It's just the lord of the country, the king. What is an emperor?

In fact, Chen Heng didn't think so far at all, he just didn't want to do much. No matter what scheming you use, you won't report it!

This time, Chen Heng did not report it, and the information arrived at the court one by one, Zheng Lang remained silent and continued to watch Nong Zhigao's performance. In June of the second year of Emperor You, Yue Li sent an army to conquer Nong Zhigao, who died in the mountains and forests and used the terrain to hide in the past. Yue Li had no choice but to withdraw his troops. Although this attack did not catch Nong Zhigao, it played a great benefit. On the side of the fierce conquest. There were several big defeats, although there was a "national hatred" and family hatred, Nong Zhigao cowardly the Jiaozhi people. On the other hand, if he is gracious, he can be considered weak and afraid of death, regardless of whether he is gracious or not, and gradually his ambition begins to grow.

Zheng Lang continued to watch. Not silent, but that doesn't mean unprepared.

Let the Lingnan officials visit some doctors or indigenous doctors who know about the local miasma and are good at treating it, and invite them to Liuzhou, Guizhou, and other prefectures and cities where the imperial court has a strong ability to control it by various means, and give them salaries, so that they can write books and make speeches, or impart experience in treating miasma. …,

Visit the source of the herbs you need, you will not buy them immediately, but you will know where they are produced and how much they can be produced. and the distribution, shape, and onset symptoms of each miasma in the area. This is the greatest natural enemy of the Song army in the south.

The second is malaria.

For this reason, at least two scouts were sacrificed, and after these scouts went south, they spread all over the southwest, from Lingnan to Jiaozhi, and then to Jinghu Likui, and those who could not bring back the news immediately, and some would be delayed on the way back. The two scouts were supposed to return, but they hadn't been seen for three or four months. It may not have been killed by local barbarians, some were injured by insects and beasts, and some died of miasma.

Sacrifice is inevitable, not only the sacrifice of these two people, Zheng Lang is ready to sacrifice more people in order to make a trade-off. Helpless, the world is a big game of chess, if you want to checkmate the other party, you can't even give up the pawn, how can you defeat it?

Mainly Western Xia and Khitan.

Pang Ji also had to admit that the advantages of setting up a special service battalion were all kinds of news coming in a steady stream, instead of being blind as before.

On the one hand, the Western Xia asked for benefits with the Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, they sent envoys to the Khitan to sue for peace, but the Khitan did not allow it. Layue also begged to be a minister to the Khitan, and the words of the table were extremely tactful, but the Khitan did not answer. But there was no refusal.

After several battles and two major defeats, the Khitan finances could not bear it.

Especially because Zheng Lang sent Ning Lingge to the Khitan, so that the battle broke out a year early, and the Battle of Hequ had not yet been recuperated, and then Xiao Hui was defeated again, and the Khitan finances were even tighter.

In March, the Khitan came to ask for the party's household to be reduced. When the war broke out, the reduction of the Jiashan Party was one of the causes, and the Khitan had Khitan worries. The Western Xia was not once or twice, the Tubo Six Grains, the Uighurs, the father and son, and later, they used this trick many times to divide the enemy, and then accepted the other party to reduce their own strength. And from the Baidan Department of Xishan to the north of the desert, the Blocking Division, and the Sticky Bage Divisions in the northwest have rebelled against the Khitan, and once the Western Xia rebels, the consequences are worrying. Therefore, these demotes must be returned, even if Xixia makes an appearance and pays part of the demos.

But this is the foundation of the growth of Western Xia, no Tibetan brothers and sisters dare not give, but they also have a way, bribe the Khitan envoy Xiao Youkuo with a lot of money, and beg to offer a large number of horses, camels, cattle and sheep on behalf of the party, Xiao Youkuo said some good things for Xixia, Liao Xingzong took advantage of the situation to go down the stairs, Xu Zhi.

In May, the Western Xia asked Tang to surrender to the hometown, this place is one of the three important passes in the original north, the barrier of Xiazhou, since the Khitan broke through, the clan tent or captured or surrendered or fled, the Khitan saw that its land was located in the west of the river, and did not defend it. There was no Tibetan clan to think about recovering its place, and sent an envoy to invite it, but Liao Xingzong did not allow it.

In June, the Wuzang clan sent people to send a message to the party departments. The middle point of the country gathers people and horses, and the training is not in vain. When the Khitan heard this, he ordered to build a city in various places along the southwest as a preparation, and the Wuzang clan repeatedly asked for a strike, and the Khitan knew that he was unpredictable, and did not agree, and moved the captured Western Xia tribes to Jizhou for resettlement.

The two sides are constantly ripping off.

No one showed sincerity. At the end of the year, the Khitan finally got the Western Xia to ask Zubu to buy a large number of cattle, horses, alpacas, and sheep, among which all the good horses were left, and the old, weak, sick and disabled horses in the country were all traded with the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty lacked large livestock, and the Khitan also knew that these large livestock were only used for arable land and could not be used on the battlefield at all. The same is true of the information brought by the scouts, and the Song dynasty obtained these livestock. All of them were handed over to the common people for farming. But to make Liao Xingzong think of the story of the past few years, Li Yuanhao also did the same, trading a large number of horses from various tribes of the Tuyuhun Party in Jiashan. The good horses stayed, and the bad horses traded with the Song people, resulting in a large number of good horses, and successfully rebelled against the party and the Tugu tribes.

The Khitan was furious, and on the one hand sent an envoy to question the Hinder Division, on the other hand, he increased his troops in Jinsu Prefecture, and sent an envoy to reprimand the Wuzang clan. After a year of rest, where did he get many benefits from the Song Dynasty, but he did not have the courage of the Tibetan clan, although he cautiously said that he would not buy horses from the Hindrance Department again. But asked the Khitan to return Ning Lingge. …,

If the party is good, maybe the Khitan will return Brother Ning Ling, or it may not be returned, but the Xixia small movements do not stop, and the Khitan people refused without thinking about it.

The storm is back.

Anyway, the northern part of Fuzhou in the Song Dynasty has been very lively in recent years. The two teams have come and gone, and they have hardly stopped tossing. Fortunately, it was Di Qing who was in charge of Fuzhou, and he would have been instigated by other officials a long time ago.

……

Spring has arrived.

Zheng Lang carefully handled the affairs of the Chinese book while observing the fundraising situation of merchants from all over the world.

Better than he could have imagined.

The Song Dynasty was weak in diplomacy and military, but it was very perverted in other aspects. Especially in the economy, Chen Liang and other scholars openly shouted that they wanted to make profits, and many of the businessmen's ideas were even more advanced, such as a small salt banknote, which could allow businessmen to play securities, stocks, and futures, which was also the reason why Zheng Lang was able to accept the deed shares from the sugar workshop, up to the emperor, and down to the businessmen.

In fact, the deed shares have long been in the Song Dynasty, for example, the sea ships often have various merchants join hands to operate, or they are withdrawn in advance, this has long been there, even the imperial court is like this, the war in the early years of Qingli, in order to win military spending, the banknotes of the next few years have also been issued, and the court has not paid off the outstanding banknotes, which is also a kind of early withdrawal.

Then there is the example of the success of the Ping An Prison.

The country has a good economic foundation.

But there is only the Song Dynasty, and if it is replaced by Western Xia and Khitan, it is impossible to succeed if you want to do it.

Some shareholders asked if they could pay in copper, they did not have the right to mint money, and their capital was also invested in other aspects, but they had a large amount of dividends from the Ping An Supervisor, including copper. Zheng Lang agreed, and once again issued an edict to the world, and the newspapers published the news that merchants were prepared to pay for the equivalent amount of gold, silver and copper as cash, so that the metals could be circulated to various banks, and then concentrated to mint coins.

A large amount of capital was injected rapidly, first in Beijing, but in fact the richest was still in Beijing, not Hangzhou, where the most powerful people were concentrated, and they had the most capital in their hands. By the end of February, the banks will raise the principal.

In fact, the imperial court also injected capital this time, and the deed shares sold by Ping An Jian invested more than 5 million yuan. It cost more than 8 million yuan to manufacture Jiaozi, and the bottom of the use of Qingzhou Linqu East Silk, East Silk is listed as the world's first class, and it is a famous brand-name product in the Song Dynasty. The imperial court once wanted to choose Hebei silk, but Hebei faced the threat of Khitan, so it changed to second and chose East Silk as the answer. To prevent forgery, and inlaid the Yuezhou Huiji Nile at the side extension, the original plan to use Suining Luo, the quality of the two Luo is almost the same, but it is rumored that Suining Luo is more than that. Finally, considering its output, the output of Huiji Nile is low, and it is difficult for ordinary people to purchase, so they abandon Suiningluo and use Huiji Nile. Then use the lower yield of Fuzhou lotus yarn as the edge, this kind of yarn is only 100 ends a year.

Just a confession is an extreme pervert.

Please ask several people to paint, with the portraits of Song Taizu, Song Taizong, Zhenzong, and Renzong as the front pattern, and the back pattern is the famous scenic spots of the Song Dynasty. Then gather the country's famous workshops, as well as the weavers of the Imperial Palace's Nishiki Temple, use weaving, embroidery and silk carving to tattoo these patterns on the jiaozi.

Without all these processes, only the anti-counterfeiting part is embroidered, otherwise the cost can be increased dozens of times. The rest of the parts, including some of the characters written by everyone, including Zhao Zhen's characters, Zheng Lang, Fan Zhongyan, Wen Yanbo and others' handwritings, all cast into impressions, divided into ten batches, by the representatives of the ten deed shares. When the bank was officially established. to be able to print in ten times.

The state machine is used, and the assembly line production is used to save costs. Otherwise, if you make this batch of jiaozi, the cost will rise to more than 20 million yuan. And even more.

There is no way, Jiaozi will eventually flow to the people. If it is just a piece of paper with some words printed on it, there must be many forgers. …,

At the end of April, the banking department was finally established.

The chief supervisor is between Fan Lou and Donghua Gate.

Zheng Lang held a small ceremony and put up lanterns. Many firecrackers were set off, and then Zhao Zhen was invited to cut the ribbon.

Then show the printed Jiaozi.

Many people said that they were surprised that this Jiaozi was too exquisitely made, so they used their cash to buy a few and go home to play.

It is the effect that is wanted, at least to make the people feel that it is worth the money, not a piece of paper.

It dragged on for a long time, but there was a benefit, and the copper coins were minted in an emergency, seven million yuan. Two million taels of silver and 100,000 taels of gold further consolidated the number of currencies.

It also means that the first Thomas in history appeared.

A total of 80 million yuan in assets. It's daunting to think about. In fact, some people do not understand it, thinking that there are 80 million Jiaozi and 80 million cash, and think that there are 160 million yuan of circulating capital. Actually, no, its capital is only 80 million. In other words, its capital cannot be calculated, and it depends on how many people can deposit and lend.

And unlike the Ping'an Prison, the merchants of the Ping'an Prison get more benefits, the imperial court only dividends, but the merchants have associated workshops and commodity profits. The banks do not have the merchandise profits associated with the merchants, and they face the whole country. It will make the country's economic circulation faster, and the imperial court will also increase the revenue of commercial taxes.

But Zheng Lang is not very familiar with the specific situation of the bank, and continues to monitor carefully. Fortunately, he still has more than two years to adjust with Zhang Fangping.

As May approached, some people began to make tentative deposits. Some people are more fun, save in advance, and take it out in a few days to see if the bank really pays them interest. There are a lot of borrowers, but because the amount of deposits is not large, the number of loans is not large.

There is no need to rush, there is a transition period. After some probing, more people deposited in June. That's when loans were disbursed one after another.

Bao Zheng began another legend of his, and Wu Kui admonished, the third envoy Zhang Yaozuo, is a mediocre person, because of the favor of selfishness, suddenly ranked, since the appointment, ten thousand ridicule. Your Majesty, why does it go against the will of heaven and the favor of the people, and become a crisis? It's really painful for Your Majesty.

Bao Zheng said separately, the concubines of the concubines of the past dynasties, although the talented ones have not tried to take the right to do things, but the ones who are not talented? Since seeing the ancestors, when the treasury was abundant and sufficient, it was still used by selected ministers such as Chen Shu and Wei Yu, and the rest were also a temporary choice. Besides, when the top and bottom are embarrassed today, as if walking on thin ice, how can this person be appointed full-time! Wangte made a holy judgment and gave him another position, and did not ask for talented people, but appointed him.

Bao Zheng exaggerated, Chen Shu was a famous minister of Song Taizong and was known as the head of capable officials, but he was still very nervous about the state during Song Taizong. This is a strange country, the richest in history, but the country's finances have not improved, except for the early Song Zhenzong, which was slightly better. Even if Zheng Lang and you can manage each other carefully now and get better, they still dare not use it lavishly, otherwise if they are not careful, some money and food of the three divisions will be squandered. Now that finances are not tight, walking on thin ice is a must. Chen Yaozuo's ability, it is indeed not suitable to serve as the third envoy.

Zheng Lang is not very repulsive, Zheng Lang was unhappy when he was appointed, Zhao Zhen was kind enough to appease, for the sake of the situation, Zheng Lang was silent, Zhao Zhen achieved Bao Zheng, and also achieved himself, for any other emperor, he will not allow himself, not to mention serving as the prime minister of the country.

It seems that someone informed Chen Yaozuo that Chen Yaozuo obeyed Zheng Lang's orders and did not dare to disobey them. Although his talent was mediocre, he didn't hinder himself much, and Zheng Lang turned a blind eye. As for the official who wants to be reversed, Zheng Lang also doesn't care.

Summoned Lu Gong to try out the museum, Lu Gong was not enough, Zhao Zhen said: "Zhiqing has a festival of retreat." ”

Give five quality clothes, and judge the Ministry of Nancao. …,

In addition, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi also did a good job in the local area, and several students gradually stepped onto the stage.

Speaking in the Ying Pavilion, Zhao Zhen asked the ministers who were speaking: "In ancient times, there were people who moved people to a wide and idle place, but now Fujian and Shu are narrow, and their people can be moved?" ”

Ding Du replied: "The law is there, but there is a division that cannot enforce it. Taizu once moved more than 1,000 families of Taiyuan people to Shandong, and Taizong moved the people of Yunying Huanshuo to the western states of Beijing. The people in the northwest are diligent and thrifty, and most of the people who are rich in their townships today are the people who moved at that time. The people are solid and secure, attach importance to its relocation, and if the location is exhausted, there is no reason to love. Now the people of Shu are increasing, the open land is exhausted, and the next household has 35 acres of land, and the less is only five or seven acres, and the support of a family of more than 10 people, unripe will turn to the death of the ravine, it is really pitiful. The minister thought that not only the people of Shu, but also those who seemed to be in this narrow township, should migrate, plan to give the field, restore their home as a law, and benefit the foundation of the agricultural valley. ”

The corners of Zheng Lang's mouth moved.

"Zheng Qing, what are you going to say?"

"The minister thought that Ding Du's words were good words," Zheng Lang's words came to his lips, and he couldn't help but say that once Tanzhou and Lingnan are developed, they will not only have to be moved, but also moved in large numbers. But it can't be moved now, everything is undecided. So it wasn't said.

It is an edict to build the Jingxi Transshipment Division, tell Yizi Likui and Fujian Road, and the people are willing to migrate, let it be.

Li Yonghe and Zhao Zhen personally led Zhao Niannu and the ministers to lay down and cried loudly. The biological mother's family is such a relative, but when she died, Zhao Zhen was very sad.

The ministers did not dare to speak.

Zhao Niannu took advantage of the crowd's inattention and looked at Zheng Langyingying.

The little girl began to develop, her chest was slightly raised, she was wearing a white dress, and where she stood, she was like a green willow, and her demeanor was graceful.

Zheng Lang looked at Zhao Niannu's freshness and moving, and suddenly felt a little moved, and then blamed himself, what happened to him? Seeing that there is no shift, there is no self-control, and seeing such a little girl who is a little older, I also have this weird feeling, and I am middle-aged and lustful?

is serious, and secretly makes a look.

Zhao Niannu's eyes showed a look and asked, what did I entrust you to do?

Zheng Lang was helpless, and he pouted at Zhao Zhen, who was crying bitterly, your father was crying like this, do I dare to speak?

Zhao Zhen not only brought Zhao Niannu to lay in person, but also gave Li Yonghe Taishi, Zhongshu Ling, and the king of Longxi County, and dropped out of the dynasty for five days. He also called his father and the old man, and wrote the Shinto monument in person, and the book was called the monument of the pro-sage. However, Li Yonghe did a very good job, being careful and silent, pushing away the power, closing the door and thanking customers, among relatives, Decao is a very good one.

When he died, Zheng Lang also specially prepared a generous gift to condole.

Li Yonghe and his second son Li Xun thanked him, Li Yonghe rarely interacted with the ministers during his lifetime, and had a good relationship with Zheng Lang, and on many occasions, Zheng Lang also praised Li Yonghe many times. Relatives have to boast about this. The Li family has a good impression of Zheng Lang, even if Li Yong and that domineering wife have a lot of dealings with Cui Xian.

Zheng Lang was a little ashamed in his heart and didn't say much.

Then, Zheng Lang began to face another difficulty after taking power, the Yellow River. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
