Chapter 643: Leaving (Part II)

Saying that, Zheng Lang took out a brocade box, opened the brocade box, took out a thick book, and said, "This is the strategy written by the minister. ”

Zhao Zhen took it and opened the book to look through.

At the beginning, he talked about miasma, and if he wanted to govern the south, he couldn't get around it.

The main causes of miasma are animals and plants, especially the corpses of animals after death, coupled with high tropical temperatures, rain, humid climate, toxic putrid gas can not volatilize, precipitate on the surface, people pass through it, inhale poisonous gas and cause illness or death.

There is also a situation where there are many mosquitoes in the south, living in this vicious environment, carrying a large number of falciparum malaria bacteria, often a large mass of flying like a ball of dead air, people are bitten by it, and large-scale malaria occurs, because of backward understanding, people also call it miasma. Even altitude sickness on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in Tibet was once called miasma.

The latter is the majority, Guo Kui's southern expedition to Jiaozhi, although the Jiaozhi is honest, many soldiers died, it was the later miasma, that is, malaria produced by mosquito bites and died. But we can't ignore the former, in addition to malaria miasma, there are indeed all kinds of weird and strange miasma. According to the season, spring is green grass miasma, summer is yellow plum miasma, autumn is new grass miasma, winter is yellow grass miasma, according to the symptoms, there are cold miasma, hot miasma, dumb miasma and so on. Osmanthus miasma and chrysanthemum miasma named after plants, snake miasma, peacock miasma, earthworm miasma, duck insect miasma, wasp miasma, etc., as well as miasma, Mengsha, water miasma, etc.

When the miasma occurs, there are two forms, tangible and intangible, some are as bright as clouds, some are like dense fog, and the invisible ones have many peculiar smells, or the fishy wind is everywhere, or the strange fragrance hits people, and these abnormal conditions are all miasma. The most terrifying is the miasma, which is as brilliant as golden light in the forest at the beginning, shoots into the air, falls down again, makes a small projectile, and gradually drifts away like a wheel bursting. The five colors are all over the field, the aroma is compelling, this miasma contains a lot of poison, and people are seriously ill if they suffer lightly. Death at worst.

Zheng Lang sorted out the distribution areas and various shapes of these miasma one by one and compiled them into a map, and marked some unknown areas, mainly from the reports of officials, as well as the information obtained by the doctors and witch doctors who treated the miasma some time ago, and some of the news sent back by the scouts of the special agent camp. Some distributions can be confirmed, while others cannot be confirmed. It's too broad. From Fujian to Jiangxi to southern Sichuan, there are all kinds of them to the south.

The means of precaution of the local people are to eat enough to travel and drink, one is to be healthy and can resist, the other is to be afraid of the cold, and secondly, when resting at night, try to live in a high place and do not untie their clothes. Close the door, there are all kinds of legends, and there is actually a scientific truth. Reduce mosquito bites and eliminate sources of malaria.

Either drink more herbal tea, which is probably not Wang Laoji's formula, the nature is similar, nourish the stomach, take more coix seeds, light the body and clear the miasma, or chew more betel nuts, you can also be timid. Or burn more realgar atractylodes and the like, fumigation of the proportion of toxic poison in the air. Later, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, soldiers smoked more, and the reason was that the gas burned by tobacco leaves was used to expel the harmful gases around and eliminate the miasma.

The cause of the miasma is due to the humid and muggy climate of the south, but there is one thing that is very strange. Miasma areas. The mountains where it is located are almost composed of pure stones, the trees are scarce, and there are many things, some poisonous snakes and poisonous phlegm and dung are scattered in the meantime, and even the rivers and streams are not normal colors, mostly bright green or crimson, and occasionally exude a fishy smell. Therefore, Zheng Lang deliberately wrote about the ability of trees to absorb poisonous gases in this book.

It is marked, but it is not possible to green all the miasma distribution areas.

The main treatment methods are later, one is incineration, in serious areas, the soil will avoid the miasma attack time, and after ploughing, it will be burned on the surface with atractylodes and other materials, or sprinkled with lime according to the pH, or sprinkled with sulfuric acid at any cost, change the soil properties and weaken the miasma. …,

The second is to repel mosquitoes. The latter is more harmful.

Zheng Lang did not go to Lingnan, although a large area of miasma was marked, only a few wrote treatment methods.

In fact, the scope of human activities and medical technology are backward, the scope of human activities is expanded, the matter is reduced, and the miasma is automatically eliminated, for example, the southern area of Yangshuo is the most famous scenic spot in China later, but it is a famous killing ground in the Song Dynasty at this time.

There are various other methods for the treatment of miasma, which were sorted out by the officials of Guizhou and sent to the Chinese book, and Zheng Lang sorted them out one by one according to the later knowledge, and removed the dross of the treatment methods one by one, leaving some essences, rearranged them, and put them in this booklet.

It can be said that the first half of this booklet concentrates on the understanding of miasma in the Song Dynasty, from distribution to treatment and treatment.

The second part is to write about the specialties of each state and how to use them, not only in Liangguang, but also in the western part of Jinghu Lianglu, from Kuizhou to southern Sichuan, Xiazhou and other places beyond the reach of the imperial court. But it was also written, many questions, because Zheng Lang did not go to investigate in person, so he could not confirm it.

The third part is the concept of the future, which is still the Tanzhou area and the Yushui Basin, and the second is to rebuild the spiritual canal.

The imperial court was not interested in Liangguang, it was too far away and not profitable. Although the technology of sea-going ships is mature, it is not cost-effective to sail once a year, or to forcibly use large oars, which are mainly used to transport grain. But you can think differently, what if you transport gold and silver cloth? Hugh should underestimate the textile technology of the southern barbarians, the cloth (Zhuang brocade) of the left and right rivers, and the cotton cloth curtain Jibei that is better than the Central Plains, the beauty of the Qi and silk flowers of the Li nationality in Hainan, and even the ladies and ladies of the capital are moved, and the blue calico of the Yao people, etc., is not inferior to half of the famous brand textiles of the Central Plains. It is only because there is no organization, and the tribes are scattered and not large-scale, so that their names are not visible.

This is only textiles, porcelain, incense, wax, rice, etc., and there are some fist products that can be used in various regions.

Moreover, it is the Ling Canal, once expanded, the exchanges will inevitably be close, so Lingnan will no longer be alone outside the ridge. The same is true in the Kuizhou area, although there is no spiritual canal and the sea, but with black powder, it is a pity that yellow powder is still a laboratory product, even if there is no yellow powder, the correct use of black powder will reduce the difficulty of digging roads.

Zhao Zhen slowly flipped through this encyclopedia or an extra-long melody, and his heart was mixed.

Yanchen said that Zheng Lang did not say anything, and Zhao Zhen knew in his heart that the simplest one, the presentation of indecisive, at least more than two-thirds less than before, this is the credit of the ministers of the two governments. Besides, the country is so big, how much energy does Zheng Lang have to share. How difficult is it to take the time to write this extra-long six-way development plan?

But then he smiled wryly.

A plan is a plan, and if it is really as Zheng Lang wrote, more than one-third of the Song Dynasty's backward areas will go hand in hand. What earth-shaking changes will occur in the Song Dynasty?

However, this huge plan, it seems that except for Zheng Lang who can carry it out, there is really no other minister who can realize it.

After looking through it for a long time, you have to look at it slowly. I couldn't finish reading it for the time being, closed the booklet, and said, "Zheng Qing, in this way, we must use a lot of soldiers." ”

To put it simply, if you want to develop Tanzhou, you must first use troops against Meishan. Otherwise, Meishan often goes down the mountain as bandits, how to develop? If you want to develop Kuizhou Road, you must take back the rights of the major barbarian chieftains, and you must also use troops.

Zheng Lang said slowly: "Your Majesty, a scout of the special service battalion entered Kuizhou Road in the name of a merchant, but let a local tyrant treat it as a sheep and snatch all his goods, regardless of the official seal. and took them into slavery. After the minister got the news, he asked his government to redeem it with a lot of money and labor for several months. His spy was tortured, dying, and nearly killed. These barbarian chieftains despised the imperial court, so the barbarians often rebelled over the years. Not for the development of Kuizhou, the minister thought that it was necessary to use troops appropriately to deter it. But Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, after the ministers go, they will grasp the big and let go of the small, and suppress some of the most vicious barbarian chieftains by force, and let the other rich chieftains go one by one. There was not much need for an army, in fact, the local barbarians were loosely organized and had backward weapons. Just based on the complex terrain, if the spy finds out the situation one by one, it is not difficult to conquer it. ”…,

"Zheng Qing, the south is too dangerous, and gentlemen don't stand under the dangerous wall." Even when he saw this encyclopedia, Zhao Zhen was still reluctant. Although human life is not discriminate. Really don't make a difference? As soon as Wang Meng died in front, Qin in front of him was in chaos, and finally Fu Jian died, and the powerful Qin was dismembered. The death of a Zhang Zhong in the country hurts for a while, it doesn't matter if it hurts, if a Zheng Lang dies, it will be messed up, and the whole will be messed up. And so many areas are miasma areas, and there are many unclear areas, after Zhao Zhen saw it just now, he was shocked. Zheng Lang has been born and died for the Song Dynasty all these years, it is enough, enough, thinking of Zheng Lang's everything, Zhao Zhen held Zheng Lang's hand tightly in his heart.

But Zhao Zhen made a mistake, with Zheng Lang's heart, the more you treat him like this, the more he wants to reciprocate. Not to persuade him, but to urge Zheng Lang to go to the south, Zheng Lang smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, when the minister was young, his ambition was very small, just to get a fame in the examination, collect some antique calligraphy and paintings, and live a rich and comfortable life." Until Taipingzhou and Hangzhou, the minister's ambition was not very ambitious, and he tried his best to help His Majesty if he could help him, but he couldn't help, and the minister didn't force it. Then he entered the northwest and saw so many soldiers for His Majesty, for this country, without hesitation, sacrifice, to serve Your Majesty, to serve the world, the minister felt ashamed. The number of years of the minister is not high, so let the minister do something for His Majesty. Although the master said that the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, there was no need to put himself in danger, but he also said that the gentleman would kill himself for righteousness. For the sake of the country and for the sake of Your Majesty, how dare the minister deliberately pity this half of his life? ”

In fact, if history is not changed, there is a similar answer in history, which is also a public case of science in the Song Dynasty. Zhang Dian and Su Dongpo are young friends, play in Fengxiang Mansion Xianyou Pond, Xianyou Pond is a cliff of ten thousand thousand, only one horizontal log leads to the other side, Zhang Dian stretched out his hand and said, Zizhan successively, Su Dongpo said cherish life, this matter is over. Zhang Dun laughed, walked over, and inscribed a line of big characters, Zhang Dun Su Shi came here for a visit. The two passed through a mountain forest again, heard someone in front of them shouting that the tiger was coming, there were still a lot of tigers in the Song Dynasty, the two of them met the tiger with the strength of wine, but they really met the tiger, Su Dongpo turned his horse and fled, Zhang Dian laughed again, borrowed a gong, and knocked on the mountain stone. As a result, it was not a human who ran, but a tiger.

Su Dongpo said, you don't cherish your own life, how can you love other people's lives? The two became big figures before and after, and this history will come out and become evidence of the attack on Zhang.

Now there is no need to argue anymore, Zheng Lang's moderation and benevolence have said similar things, it is not wrong to love oneself, but there is a degree, too much love for oneself, love to the point that like most civil officials in the Song Dynasty, when the enemy comes, he will either abandon the city and flee, or surrender, how is the country good? Of course, it's not good to be too disregarding your own safety. This is what the Master is all about.

Zheng Lang said very gently, and very sincerely, I just want to live a good life since I was a child, and ambition is only available when I grow up, will ordinary ministers say this. is also modest, if you really don't have great ambitions, there will be no Confucianism, all kinds of changes in Jiangnan, but Zheng Lang's ambition at that time is definitely not as good as the ambition at this time.

Zhao Zhen just sighed.

In fact, Zheng Lang is also very grateful, or Zhang Dan. Meishan was in civil strife, one surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and Zhang Dian went to accept the surrender, but the two envoys did not do a good job. By the way, he comforted the women of the barbarians, but the surrender was not successful, and two heads were sent. Zhang Dian was furious, the folk customs of the Northern Song Dynasty were quite open, and people's concept of chastity was far less important than later, even if they did not comfort the woman, they would not die. What kind of character is he? In a fit of rage, he used troops against Meishan. For various reasons, this battle has not been fought well, but it has been played a Taiping Xiangshui. However, when the war began, both Wang Anshi and Song Shenzong were stunned and did not believe that Zhang Dian actually started fighting. …,

It's really hard to fight, it's hard to fight. The country could not bear to lose the battle, and the barbarians were more in the limelight and won. The barbarians fled to the mountains, now it is said that it is the three disciplines of the army, the eight points of attention, that is impossible to do, the Yuejia army is good, the army passes, it is inevitable that there will be some burning, killing and looting, at most restrain the subordinates not to kill and poke women, children, old and young, that military discipline is already very good, so the barbarians are even poorer. Retaliation is also even crazier.

They all know that it is not a way to go on like this in these fetter areas, but because of this, the monarchs and ministers of the imperial court have been very hesitant. Zhao Zhen is not a very brave emperor, he only cares about his own safety, and does not question the feasibility of conquering barbarians, how much trust does this cost?

Zheng Lang used his labor to such an extent. Zhao Zhen didn't stop again. So he summoned the two governors and handed this recital to the prime ministers for reading.

It's actually impossible to read them all.

It's too long, a total of more than 200,000 words, and there are more than 30 related maps and design drawings.

Zhao Zhen's intention to show everyone is only to let the ministers learn Zheng Lang's spirit.

The news spread, coupled with the continuous bad nightmares in the south, Zheng Lang and his party in the south were almost unstoppable.

Bao Zheng played in Hebei and impeached Wang Juzheng. Said that Wang Juzheng also served as the deputy of the two governments, but because of incompetence and demoted and released, when he was in the imperial history, blindly seeking refuge, the Hebei disaster is due to the destruction of water and soil, the southern barbarian rebellion is the imperial court garrison is few, policy mistakes are related, what is the relationship with the Chinese book, vainly add disasters to the Chinese book, first make Wen Yanbo demote the Chinese book, and then make Zheng Lang put in Lingnan, the two prime ministers are all conscientious and conscientious, Wang Juzheng'an What is the heart?

The reason for this performance is that one is the grievances of King Bao, the other is that Zheng Lang has always loved Bao Zheng, and the third Bao Zheng is also for the sake of the country. What kind of place is Lingnan, how can a dignified prime minister go to Lingnan if he is not wrong? Because he was not in the court, the insider didn't know, and he put all the blame on Wang Juzheng.

Wang Juzheng was still silent.

Some other ministers also objected, and Fu Bi, Wang Yaochen, Zhang Fangping, and Pang Ji also wrote to say that Zheng Lang could not go to Lingnan.

This example is not good, and in the future, a bigwig from the two governments will be put in Lingnan, what is Lingnan? Killing field, big killing field, small killing field, do you want to restore the story of the famous faces such as Kou Zhun and Li Di at the end of the True Sect?

Zhang Yao knew Luoyang, he was in the third division, Zheng Lang and Wen Yanbo took care of the third division for him, there was no mistake, and when he arrived in Luoyang, Luoyang was too big, his ability was limited, and there were many problems, so Zhao Zhen transferred Wu Yu to Luoyang as the second-in-command and took care of it for him. Zhang Yaozuo also realized that he respected Wu Yu very much, old Wu, you have the ability, those who can work hard, I trouble you. What should Wu Yu do? Under the governance of Wu Yu, Luoyang was once again politically harmonious. In short, this is a very interesting person, greedy for wealth and nobility does not wronged him, but how much harm does he have, as for it?

I am still very grateful to Zheng Lang in my heart, and the book said that Lingnan is only a small barbarian rebellion, and it can be suppressed by sending a partial general, so why use a dignified prime minister?

I have good intentions, but I said the wrong thing, Jiang Kai, Yang Jin, Yu Jing, Sun Wei and others are not small generals.

A few ministers remained silent, and most of the ministers wrote to oppose it, asking the court to leave Zheng Lang behind. Zhang Fangping said directly, even if according to the rules, the post of prime minister cannot be in office for too long, according to the rules, you can go to Sanjing (Xijing, Nanjing, Beijing) to know, even if there is a mistake, it is also Qingzhou and other big states to know, how can you travel to Lingnan?

Zheng Lang smiled bitterly when he saw so many twists and turns. In fact, if it is used properly, it is a good reflection, whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, under the coaxing of Wenchen, almost a pseudo-democratic system appeared. It seems great, but don't forget that this is the feudal era. …,

It seems that there is a monitoring system, but in fact, the state has been unable to implement a stable policy under the mutual attack of the civil servants. Just like Zheng Lang's analogy when he was a teenager, from Zhengzhou to Kaifeng, it is best to take a straight line, and if it is impossible to take a straight line in the execution, it will definitely take some detours, and it is possible to go around to Mengzhou. It is possible to go around to Caizhou, but as long as you go down, you will definitely reach Kaifeng City. I was afraid that when I arrived in Mengzhou, someone pulled the car to Caizhou again. When I arrived in Caizhou, I was pulled back to Mengzhou, and what sturdy carriage pulled around, it would eventually be broken.

Clever rulers, such as Zhao Kuangyin and Li Shimin, will not have a problem at all, again. Zhao Zhen, Yongzheng, Qianlong and his ilk turned the contradictions into small groups rather than large groups. The failure of the Qingli New Deal and the later generations sighed, but they did not notice the hollowness of Fan Zhongyan's policy and the harm to the emperor's position. But again, it was the Song Shenzong and the like, which turned into two groups. Oops. At the end, Li Longji and Song Huizong in their later years handed over power to one person.

The latter two. It's not a way to use people. But Wenchen doesn't know how to advance or retreat, as long as he sees that you are not pleasing to the eye, he is unscrupulously charged, because Zhao Zhen treats the minister well, the development is getting more and more serious, and Zhao Zhen uses his wrist to make it not deteriorate. Once Zhao Zhen dies, the successor lacks Zhao Zhen's wrist, and these problems will surface one by one, and the severity is far greater than the three redundancies of the Song Dynasty!

But in the midst of these twists and turns. How many Wenchen have reflected?

The autumn harvest is over.

Zheng Lang was on duty, his home was not too far from the palace, and he mostly walked back, so he was right to exercise.

A beautiful woman stopped him and didn't move.

After coming to the capital for a few years, at first the people liked to point fingers. So he went out and wore a lot of curtains, and after staying for a long time, the people were accustomed to it, and slowly took down the curtain. It is estimated that she is anxious, and her daughter came to the capital of the Song Dynasty, but there has been no good family to propose marriage, so she simply let her daughter look at people with her true face. can not be successful, can you make the good people who have not moved the mountains look up, which family has no scruples? No one has any scruples about the second marriage in the Northern Song Dynasty, and may not be able to scruple about the crown of the queen on her head?

There are a lot of light and thin disciples, because there are more chasers because of their beauty, but they don't move to the mountains and the father and daughter are not eye-catching, and they are still consumed. Besides, Li Yuanhao is no longer a hero, how many teenagers can compare with Li Yuanhao? Can ordinary people fall into the eyes of the Lost Shift?

The two met several times, but Zheng Lang implicitly declined. Normal people don't dare to marry her home as a wife, and they dare to take her into their homes as a concubine? It is estimated that as soon as I do it before, several friends can go to my home to talk to me, and those who oppose it will use cars to fight.

Seeing that the Wuyi clan was coming, Zheng Lang wanted to hide, but the Wuyi clan didn't care, so he blocked him directly, and then said in a low voice: "The concubine has been in the capital for several years. ”

Some people were staring at them curiously from a distance, and Zheng Lang had no choice but to haha and said, "Yes." ”

"You brought our father and daughter to your country, and the concubine is not young." The actual age is not very old, only in his early twenties, who told the people to get married early, and said again: "Don't you care about concubines?" ”

How? When I planned it, I didn't think about whether the Wuqian clan could get married. Zheng Lang spread his hands and said, "What should I do?" ”

"It's just you."

Without moving, Zheng Lang was helpless, and it was not very convenient to speak at this time.

"You're going to Lingnan?"

"Possibly."

"For how long?"

"It could be years."

"This is the ropa embroidered by the concubine." He didn't know how to move, and quickly handed Luo Pa to Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang didn't dare to refuse, for fear that the people would see it, so he caged the square handkerchief in his sleeve with faster movements. The people did not see their small movements, and when they saw the brief exchange between the two, they did not doubt it, and looked elsewhere. After walking for a while, Zheng Lang opened the embroidered handkerchief, and a lonely wild goose was embroidered on it, looking at the sky with resentment. This has a meaning, the goose is the most loyal, so the ancients used the wild goose as one of the important dowry gifts in the dowry, if not, often replaced by a goose. Then there is a line of small characters, which is Li Yu's "Qingping Le":

Don't come to the spring and a half, it's shocking and sad. The brick falls like snow, and the body is still full.

There is no evidence for the news of the wild goose, and it is difficult to realize the dream of returning to the road. Away from hatred is just like spring grass, go farther and live.

can't understand according to the meaning of the original text, Zheng Lang shook his head after reading it, no, let's see if I can think of a way for this woman, find a good family, I can't let her pour out her feelings to herself, sooner or later she will get a problem.

Zheng Lang was somewhat moved when he saw it.

But in the distance, the corners of Wu Yi's mouth suddenly showed a sly smile.

Zheng Lang's trip to the south is destined to be very exciting. He didn't give him a headache, and someone else gave him a headache even more. (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. )
