Zheng Lang called Zhou Xin every time he made a military arrangement.

Zhang Kang is a literati, but why did officials classify him as a military general? The difference in the middle is that Zhang Kang really took the lead and personally went into battle to kill the enemy. It stands to reason that this is a good thing, but it was the biggest taboo in the Song Dynasty. Like Zheng Lang and Han Qi, they also stood on the front line, only standing at one station, and never went into battle to kill the enemy. This is a civil servant, if he has no fame, he is a military minister, not a military general. Once you fall into the ranks of military generals, you will fight hard, and you will not be able to make a good return.

The fish is not good, Zhang Kang has been injured many times, and although he came to Lingnan, his health has deteriorated.

In the future, Liangguang can't count on Zhang Kang, and Zhang Kang has to go to Liangjing and Kuixia with him.

Then it can only be handed over to Zhou Xin.

Let Zhou Xin's military talent increase rapidly, turn the volume of pacification envoys into real pacification envoys, assist civil affairs, take charge of the military, not more, build in five years, prepare some military arrangements after five years, and the two Guangxi will gradually be peaceful. There must be a minister who understands military affairs, so he trained Zhou Xin.

After saying this arrangement, Zheng Lang asked the officials to call Cheng Shimeng, Cai Ting, Yan Du, Yu Jing, Song Xian, Zhu Shoulong and Gao Weihe, Sun Kang died of illness, and the imperial court asked Cheng Shimeng to replace Sun Kang as the transfer envoy of Guangnan West Road.

Under Zheng Lang's repeated praise, Cheng Shimeng finally came into the sight of the government and the opposition.

But it also depends on the fact that good ministers such as Cheng Huan are good officials in the local area, but it is difficult to make a difference when they enter the two prefectures. Another example is that Fu Bi is a good prime minister as a deputy minister, but he can serve as the prime minister, but he lacks courage, but he is far inferior to Pang Ji.

All the officials have been very busy during this time.

Fortunately, Zheng Lang has repeatedly reduced the scale of water conservancy. Otherwise it's busier.

But the officials did not complain, on the contrary, they were very excited. Because in their hands they saw a great miracle happen.

In this way, the development of Liangguang did not exist in prehistory, nor did it in posthistory. Regardless of the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty. None of them can be done. Of course, these two dynasties simply didn't have that much wealth for the ministers below to squander.

There have been some small changes on Quang Nam West Road, but the real change is on Quang Nam East Road.

The real change will be a few years away, and the mulberry trees, fruit trees and tea trees that are planted today are not yet ripe. However, the crops began to be harvested, the flooding began to decrease, and a large amount of grain was harvested, so that the price of rice on Guangnan East Road fell to only 200 wen per stone. It is cheaper than the price of wheat in the north, and if it continues to develop, it is likely to be comparable to the price of millet. At least more than ninety percent of the people can basically meet the food, clothing, and shelter, and the more diligent people, even if they are immigrants, have begun to have surpluses.

Some people have been poor all their lives and see dozens of acres of yellow and clear rice ears in their homes. He lay on the edge of the field and wept bitterly.

According to Buddhism, this merit goes to the sea.

Driven from the top up, most officials are also motivated, and there will be things like greed, but they are very cautious about the people. Therefore, wherever the officials went, the people were grateful, holding tea and handing out water, but in fact, these officials only wanted to show themselves, and did not want Zheng Lang to trouble them. I didn't expect the people to love it so much, and I worked harder under shame. Most regions have formed positive interactions. At least seventy percent of the regions have achieved a "harmonious society".

It was a great miracle, bordering on a miracle.

Therefore, Zheng Lang said that he must leave Liangguang next year, and both Zhou Xin and Zhang Kang were silent.

If you keep going, don't talk about ministers, even the benevolent emperor will be more or less suspicious.

Zheng Lang himself also consciously pushed the credit, not only by me, but by the power of many officials, Tian Yu, Yuan Xuan, Cheng Shimeng, Yang Cha and others worked hard together to make the two Guangxi detached. Zheng Lang does not need merit to be icing on the cake, on the contrary, merit has become a burden for Zheng Lang, but these officials need merit to make their career brighter.

A group of officials came one after another, and Zheng Lang asked them to sit down and hang up a large map.

It is a map of Quang Nam West Road, divided into several colors according to different areas, green, yellow, red and gray.

The green color spreads around the Gyeju area, Yushui, and major tributaries. The yellow ones are the periphery, the northeast of Yongzhou, the south of Rongzhou in Yizhou, the intersections with the East Guangnan Road, the coastal areas of Beibu Gulf and the Leizhou Peninsula, and the red ones are the western areas of Yongzhou, Temo Road, Ziqiman area, the western and northwest parts of Guanzhou, the northern mountainous areas of Yirong Erzhou, the mountainous areas of the Leizhou Peninsula from the north of Qinzhou to Rongzhou, and Qiongzhou Island. The gray area is an area where miasma is rampant, and most of the miasma areas are judged to be either miasma, but uninhabited, with a lot of decay, producing a large number of mosquitoes carrying pathogenic insects, causing malaria, and becoming the so-called miasma area, but a few Zheng Lang did not dare to make a judgment, did not dare to make a judgment, and could only prohibit the people from entering.

Guangnan West Road is different from Guangnan East Road, the Han people only account for about one percent, many large tribes are barbarians in China, there are many miasma areas, many barbarians are barbaric, rough and ferocious, poison is far more than Guangnan East Road, less affected by the marine climate, mostly the primitive area with vigorous vegetation, the climate is more sultry, there is Dali in the west, and there is Jiaozhi in the south.

Then there is the cattle farming, which will be more difficult this year.

This is all the promotion of Quang Nam West Road.

Of course, there are disadvantages and pros.

The development of Guangnan West Road is more backward, the area is vast, if it can be fully developed, at least the cultivated land area can reach 800,000 hectares, but this is impossible, invest so much money, Guangnan East Road is now only 300,000 hectares of cultivated land.

Nong Zhigao's rebellion may have caused some descendants to repeatedly reverse black and white, but at this time, many barbarians were killed by Nong Zhigao, and among the people killed by Nong Zhigao, more than sixty or seventy percent were barbarians, and they felt the need for the protection of the Song Dynasty. Maybe after a few decades, they will heal the scars and forget the pain, but there is no such idea now. Except for some ambitious barbarians, or barbarians who were not harmed by Nong Zhigao, many barbarians were more cooperative with the imperial court.

Zheng Lang's Guizhou Academy, as well as some heartfelt policies, malaria was effectively treated, and he often asked the barbarians to go to Guangnan East Road to see their changes, which made many barbarians excited, and made most of the barbarians support Zheng Lang's water conservancy development.

Everyone wants to live a good life.

As for nationalism, is there such a thing as nationalism now? If Zheng Lang's policy is successful, it may be like the sinicization of the Xianbei people. Integrating into the blood of the Han people, there will be no difference between barbarians and Han people in the future, so how can there be nationalism?

Emigrate over. The main expenses are clothing, household utensils and water conservancy tools, cattle, houses and food.

However, the grain can be basically solved, and the bumper harvest of Guangnan East Road does not need to be transported from Jiangnan West Road and Liangzhejiang for a long time. The cost will be reduced.

However, Zheng Lang did not hold out optimism.

Now Guangnan West Road is equivalent to a blank, and it is best to relocate one million households, more than five million Han households, and the barbarian family that Zheng Lang said can be realized.

But it is impossible, the people are willing to move to Guangnan East Road because there are many Han households on Guangnan East Road, there is a foundation, close to Fujian Road and western Zhejiang, if there is money. You can also go back to your hometown and pay homage to your ancestral grave. Did you become in Guangxi?

The imperial court did not come up with enough money, Liang Shi and Chen Zhizhong did not make it difficult, and like Pang Ji, the bank's money was transferred to you, but the imperial court only allocated 10 million yuan. The same amount was allocated, but it was actually different. Last year, there was a continuous war, and military expenses, rewards, and appeasements increased by 20 million yuan out of thin air. The bank's dividend is a three-year dividend, and this year it is only one year. Although the bank's income is increasing year by year, it can only allocate more than 12 million yuan.

If you fight against Cochin, you also have to prepare a lot of money.

Unless Zheng Lang's plan is realized, it will be able to meet the needs of military expenses.

Therefore, Zheng Lang and the officials repeatedly discussed the development plan to reduce the development plan to only more than 200,000 hectares to meet the needs of some mature and relocated Han households. This plan resulted in the big map on the wall.

The conditions in Guizhou are relatively good, there are some Han households, there is no miasma, and the irrigation conditions in some areas of Yushui, Zuojiang, Lishui, and Liujiang are quite good, and they can be used to make large fields. The bigger the pitian, the lower the cost and the easier it is to manage.

This area, which is the green area on the map, has been developed aggressively, at least more than ninety percent, forming an irregular surface.

Most of the yellow areas were areas where the original imperial court had weak control, and they would not be fully developed, but they would be formed one by one.

Most of the red areas are areas that the imperial court doesn't want to ask, but some points can be constructed, or the imperial court can guide them, and let the barbarians develop them independently. Instead of continuing to be as tight as before, some roads will be built to lead to these red areas.

With roads, close exchanges, and gradual sinicization, with roads, the Song Dynasty army could quickly reach the various barbarian tribes. There are also some barbarians in the deep mountains and old forests, and Zheng Lang is helpless against them. However, the population is dense, and the resistance ability increases, and they will harm themselves and decline, either choose to cooperate with the imperial court to learn Han cultivation and change their lives, or they will eventually be eliminated one after another.

Zheng Lang took out small maps again, maps of various counties.

Distributing these maps, the conditions of Quang Nam West Road were not as good as those of Quang Nam East Road, but the preparation time was longer, and with the model of Quang Nam East Road, various officials gradually became familiar with it, and made up for the shortcomings of Quang Nam West Road itself.

This is the last correction.

Of course, it will have to be revised one after another, but the outline is about to be finalized now.

There are only two projects, one is the Lingqu and the other is Acacia, and after this meeting, Zheng Lang will go to inspect it again.

Lively discussion.

Many problems, especially the lack of money, but also consider how to save money.

In the end, Yu Jing said: "Xingzhi, I have two questions. ”

"Brother Antao, please speak."

"What about the ploughing cows?"

Let Zheng Lang get a little bit of it, and the buffalo in Jiangnan will rise to ten dollars, not ten yuan.

This incident alarmed Zhao Zhen, and he also knew Zheng Lang's difficulties, but there was a lot of noise below, so he had to ask once in the will.

Zheng Lang also replied, this is all temporary, compared to horses, which are not used to fight, who plays a big role in arable land, cattle or horses? The imperial court now has no shortage of war horses, the northwest war horses have increased to more than 120,000, and then increase, there are not enough pastoral supervisors to raise, not to mention some pastoral supervisors in the capital and Hebei, those pastoral supervisors can not raise good war horses at all, empty labor of the country's money, occupy fertile land. What was the use of the remaining horses, pack horses for battle, livestock for pulling wagons, ploughing land.

If it is ploughing, is it better to have horses or cows?

The price of cattle has risen, which is more affordable than the encouragement money given by the imperial court to 500 wen calves, and the interest of the people in raising cattle will further increase, as long as the people raise cattle on a large scale, the number of cattle will increase rapidly. There is a shortage of cattle in Guangzhou, and more attention will be paid to cultivating cattle.

For the time being, the price of cattle has risen, and after ten years, the number of cattle will increase, and the price of cattle will fall, and there is no shortage of ploughing cattle everywhere in the country. What is the difference between using oxen to plow the land and people plowing the land? What is the difference between the increase in food production? Doesn't Your Majesty want to appear when Wenjing reigned, the new millet in the granary pressed the old millet and piled it up all the way to the outside of the warehouse. The copper coins in the treasury have not been used for many years, so that the rope that wears the money is rotten, and the scattered money is too much to calculate?

This is praised by the history books. In fact, it was the product of the Han Dynasty's centralization of local finance, although the governance of Wenjing was good, compared with the Song Dynasty at this time, it was inferior in wealth.

But Zheng Lang analyzes from the perspective of future generations, who would have thought of this era, who would dare to deny the best era of internal governance in history?

Zheng Lang also said that the people mostly say that the past few years are a golden age, but they are not. It is only the age of steel, only the transformation of iron to steel, and it has not yet reached the silver age, let alone the golden age, and the rule of Wenjing is the golden age.

Zheng Lang compresses his own credit.

You can't sell your work, if it's like the rule of Wenjing recorded in the history books, it's all like that from the central to the local. It will never be possible.

Zhao Zhen couldn't make a sound after seeing the twist, and couldn't say that Zheng Lang was wrong, now the price of a good horse began to fall, but the price still reached more than 30 yuan, which was more than three times more expensive than a 10 yuan ploughing cattle.

Finally, Zheng Lang said again. The crowd is boiling, but some people who want to buy cattle, but the price of cattle rises and can't afford to buy them, they are His Majesty's people, and the more than 200,000 immigrants on Guangnan East Road are not His Majesty's people? Which is more important? Just like a landlord divides his property, and a gold ingot in his hand is distributed to the eldest son, and the second son will not be able to fall, and the second son will not be able to fall into the second son. You can only hold each other for a while.

Zheng Lang replied: "Dali! ”

Several officials suddenly became enlightened. Dali also has many livestock, and there is no need to exchange money, as long as the exchange of tea, porcelain and cloth can be provided, and it happens that the imperial court is seriously short of coins, and this exchange will alleviate the difficulty of insufficient coins.

Then snickering, once the livestock is officially purchased from Dali, Dali will also get benefits, but the result of the large-scale purchase of livestock will also cause a big commotion in Dali.

"Brother Antao, what about the second question?"

"Cochin."

Jiaozhi sent an envoy to come and let Zhang Kang bang back, and Yu Jing was very worried.

"Brother Andao, I have an arrangement, although my military talent is not as good as Di Qing's, but it is enough to deal with Jiaozhi."

"They are a ...... country"

"It's a country, and Nong's high-minded rebellion has caused the lives of Liangguang to be ruined, but Liangguang has no preparation. With preparation, can Nong Zhigao succeed? As early as last year, I was planning to guard against Jiaozhi. ”

"Xingzhi, I'm still worried, Xingzhi is in Liangguang, has prestige, barbarians are convinced, has military talents, can deal with crises, has scheduling capabilities, and will not be in big trouble. But Xingzhi can't stay in Liangguang forever. ”

"Brother Antao, don't worry, I have enough arrangements for Jiaozhi, and I won't leave a problem for Liangguang before leaving. Before I leave Liangguang, I will ask Your Majesty to let you stay and continue to preside over the affairs of Liangguang, and the fact that Liangguang can have today is not due to me alone, but the result of your concerted efforts. ”

Several officials listened to this, and their hearts warmed.

"But you also have to work hard, this stay, I will suggest that Your Majesty keep you for five or six years, until the two Guangding fall, then let other officials replace you. At that time, the two major bureaus had already been decided. ”

Yu Jing said again: "I have an unwritten idea in my heart. ”

"Please."

"Whether it is Liangguang or Xiangshui, there are rich water systems, and where there is a water system, there is water conservancy, and only with water conservancy can the Xingzhi plan be successful. In my opinion, the step should not be too big, and the development of Quang Nam East Road has brought a lot of commotion. It is better to stop at the Xiangshui River Basin and stop at Kuixia Road. In the next few years, with the income of Liangguang Road, the imperial court will allocate a little money to carry out the second development of Guangnan West Road. Quang Nam West Road is too small in population. ”

This is also a conservative thinking, but it cannot be said that Yu Jing is not right.

Zheng Lang pondered, the development of the Liangguang and Xiangshui basins can make profits, and it is very difficult for the imperial court to benefit from the development of the Kuixia Fourth Road, just to win vitality for the people of the Kuixia Fourth Road. The various phenomena that happened there were too ugly, and there were often rebellions, which also became the disadvantages of the Song Dynasty.

As for Quang Nam West Road itself, the population is too small.

The number of Han households and Shuman registered in the household department is only a little more than 200,000 households, plus the barely 300,000 households of Shengman, it must be less than 2 million people, not to mention that today's Guangnan West Road includes the whole province of Guangxi in later generations, as well as many places in Guangdong, Guizhou, and Yunnan, even if the population is as sparse, and the area is only two-thirds of the area of Shanxi Province in later generations, Hedong Road can not be far compared. There are more than 400,000 households on Hedong Road. The area of Hedong Road is less than one-third of Quang Nam West Road, the terrain is far worse than that of Quang Nam West Road, and the proportion of plain river valleys is less than one-third of Quang Nam West Road. If you want to really make Guangnan West Road better, you have to carry out a second large-scale migration, as Yu Jing said, in a few years, so that it can be enriched.

But what about the four roads of Kuixia?

Zheng Lang hesitated slightly.

Yu Jing also said: "Xingzhi, the country's situation is getting better, the population is increasing, and we can't rush it. Besides, we are all old, and you are only in your thirties, in good health, and there are still decades to come. ”

Zheng Lang smiled bitterly, the reason why he went south so quickly was to stabilize all the rear of the Song Dynasty, and then use the strongest force to collide with Western Xia. After pacifying Western Xia, let's see if we can recover the sixteen states of Youyun. Otherwise, there will be a fierce battle at the front, and the people in the rear will revolt everywhere, and that will be called chaos.

There is no need to speak about your ambitions. He looked at the sky and said, "Everyone, come to my house for dinner." ”

Ten officials were brought to their homes.

After dinner, I fought at night, and worked very hard at night in Lingnan, not only was it hot, but there were also many mosquitoes, but the work was busy, and several officials had to let the slaves and maids at home fan fans to drive away mosquitoes.

But this night was very strange, there was not a single mosquito in the Zheng family.

In the end, Cheng Shimeng finally found out and asked in surprise: "Xingzhi, why don't you have mosquitoes at home?" ”

Zheng Lang pointed to the plate of incense and said, "It is it that drives away mosquitoes for us." ”

Several officials all stood up.

In the South, what does it mean if this happens? (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. )
