Afterwards, Zhao Ji was worried about Zhong Zhong and said to Zheng Lang: "Zheng Qing, if there is another earthquake, what should I do?" ”

We cannot use whether or not there is an earthquake to bet on whether the reform has obtained the so-called "heavenly way". Under the influence of Zheng Lang, Zhao Ji didn't believe much in this Heavenly Dao. Learn from Confucius, we respect you, but we also take the initiative to stay away from you.

Could it be that the teacher was provoked by Wen Yanbo and made a mistake?

Zheng Lang explained the principle of earthquake to Zhao Ji, and then drew a very non-standard sketch, and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, you see, the seismic zone in the eastern region of my country is Fuzhou, Quanzhou and the Great Ryukyu area to the sea, followed by the Liaodong line of Wuwei's army through Xuzhou to Jingdong East Road and Khitan, followed by the line from Beijing to Zhengzhou, and then from Zhengzhou to Hebei and Youzhou, and then the line from Khitan Xijing to Bingzhou to Hezhongfu. ”

As soon as he explained, Zhao Ji understood and said: "Zheng Gong, do you mean that there were many earthquakes in the original capital of Hebei and Khitan Youzhou, which were in the same earthquake zone, but now the earthquake in Mozhou is on the line from Xijing to Hezhongfu in Liaoguo, and the earthquake has been transferred, so the probability of an earthquake in the future is very small?" ”

"Not bad."

"What if there are two more earthquakes in the seismic zone from Merge Prefecture to Hazhong Province?" After speaking, Zhao Ji automatically shut up. A flood and an earthquake made him miserable, and the money for disaster relief alone cost more than 7 million yuan this year. Do you want to come again?

"In general, if an earthquake persists, an aftershock will occur shortly after the earthquake, and there has been no incident since the earthquake in Mozhou, so the possibility of a recurrence is extremely small. Of course, even the minister's conjecture may not be all right, which can only be verified after the technical development of later generations and clear evidence. If there is another earthquake, the minister will not be able to. However, the minister still hopes that the sky will have long eyes. ”

Zhao Ji also looked at God speechlessly.

This is not the case. It disappointed Wen Yanbo even more. It has nothing to do with science. That's always a secret.

Junchen's brief reply also caused a consequence, and in the coming year, Zhao Ji became more interested in Gewuxue and forcibly issued an edict. With Shen Kuo's return to the capital from Hebei, the number of students studying Gewu increased to more than 300.

In Zhao Ji's inner turmoil, Fu Bi, Sima Guang and others found Zheng Lang again, and Fu Bi persuaded: "Xingzhi." It's too much of a commotion. ”

Tossed last year, tossed again this year.

Every time it is such a large-scale shot, there will be more opponents.

After the actual edict was issued, many people had already written to protest to the imperial court, including some powerful families, especially military generals, once the edict became a system, their children could only be supplemented as deputy generals in the military camp in the future, and the chances of promotion were seriously reduced. Not really. For example, the assessment in the army, or the assessment in Xifu. As the children of these military generals, they will undoubtedly have an advantage. It's like a race of horsemanship, what kind of horse an ordinary cavalryman will step on, and what kind of horse will his children ride. The quality of a horse has already determined the merits of the horse. Another example is archery, depending on the bow used, the shooting result will be different. Another example is the judgment of the examiner, can there be no bias?

But the human heart is never satisfied.

Why does Zheng Lang not dare to investigate some states so far, including the two Shouzhou, to the Lu family secretly greeted the relevant officials, took care of a little, and wrote to the Lu family, you also take the initiative to mean, let us explain.

If they were content and happy, like Zheng Lang, without Zheng Lang and Zhao Ji's brains, the Song Dynasty would have entered a harmonious society long ago.

"Yanguo, you say that I am in too much of a hurry, and Jiefu and they complain to me that the concessions I have made are too great, so that the results of reform are seriously weakened, do you tear me in half?"

"Wang Jiefu is a great talent, but he also likes to be aggressive."

"Yan Guo, are you also a student Fang?" Zheng Lang suddenly became displeased.

Zifang is Tang Jie, this person is a quarrel king, first thought that Wang Anshi was so happy, boasted, and then quarreled with himself. The first wave of reform failed to catch up, but the second wave of reform came to the capital, quarreled with Wang Anshi, and quarreled with himself.

Zheng Lang sometimes makes him speechless.

It's not that Wang Anshi is stubborn, but Tang Jie's stubbornness. admits that Tang Jie is straightforward, but sometimes in order to satisfy his desire to quarrel, he is very disregarded for the overall situation. However, Zheng Lang didn't argue with him, someone, Tang Jie quarreled badly, but every time Wang Anshi made a move, Tang Jie quarreled once, Wang Anshi suppressed it once, Tang Jie was even more angry, where were you kid when I became famous? So it was even more noisy, but every time he quarreled, he couldn't win, and as a result, Tang Jie quarreled once, and he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood once.

If it weren't for too many scruples, Zheng Lang would like to go to the book, and the governor is the prime minister's most important helper. However, after it is revealed, Tang Jie will inevitably leave, and Wang Anshi will stay, which will give some people who are dissatisfied with him more excuses.

But if Tang Jie continues like this, the result will be very sad, and it won't take long......

"Xingzhi, I'm not in good health, how dare I learn Fang?"

"Yanguo, I also know that I am in a hurry, but the country has accumulated too much weight, and if the country does not change, it will inevitably decline, and if it changes, it will implicate the interests of many people. I let you take it into account and thought about it seriously, too, or not? ”

Fu Bi was silent, and several prisons were founded, isn't it? The establishment of these prisons, is it the benefit of the poor family, or the benefit of the wealthy family?

"It's impossible to take care of everyone? If there is no crisis in the country, if it changes, the world will inevitably be turbulent. With the arrival of this national crisis, we will take advantage of the situation, and although there are many people who oppose it, there will also be many people who support it. If you miss this crisis, can you change it? Either do fine-tuning, learn from Lu Yijian, learn from me when I was in Huangyou, the country has changed for the better, but after a change, the country has accumulated again. In the future, the country may have a British lord like Renzong Taizong, Yanguo, can you guarantee that every generation of monarchs can be similar to Renzong? The first emperor was really bad, just one inferior, and the country immediately became so bad, and there were more middle and upper monarchs like the first emperor in the future. If there is no virtuous minister in charge of the government, and the peace is only less than four years, if it is ten years down, what will the country go? ”

It's all bloody facts, and Fu Bi can't answer.

In the past, Zheng Lang complained that Wang Anshi was in a hurry, mainly because he was in a hurry to accumulate wealth.

The two of them are also almost confronted with the reforms that Qianfu pointed out and forcibly initiated, but they are of different natures.

At the beginning of Wang Anshi's reform, his prestige was not high and he had no foundation. The direction of accumulating wealth is wrong. It's in a hurry. It is true that the rich are exploited together with the common people, and the country has money, but it is seriously worried about the people.

Zheng Lang's starting point is far higher than Wang Anshi's, almost with layers of aura. I returned to the capital again.

At the beginning of the reform, in fact, a good foundation had been laid before, including the popularization of the number method, and at this time it was enough to correct them. And the foundation of the private economy is far better than it has been in history.

The direction of accumulating wealth is also different. There is hardly any policy of enriching the people by stripping them of money, or they are reducing expenditures and saving all kinds of redundant expenses brought about by the three redundancies of the state. If we talk about accumulating wealth, we can only say that the new commercial tax law and the clearance of hidden fields have infringed on the interests of many powerful people, but they have definitely not harmed many middle-aged and poor classes.

To do it in a hurry, first, the opportunity is rare, and second, it is too late.

It didn't take long for the river to open and begin. When the drought came, Zheng Lang didn't want to carry hundreds of millions of debts. Meet these two challenges. Moreover, there will be a Western Xia in the future.

It was done in a hurry, and some conservative people had some opinions. But some humility did make others resentful. Especially the two students, Wang Anshi spoke "The Book of Rites" for Zhao Ji, and said to Wang Anshi: "I want to hear your discussion. ”

He also said: "Tang Taizong must get Wei Zheng, Liu Bei must get Zhuge Liang, and then he can be promising." ”

Wang Anshi said: "If Your Majesty wants to be Yao Shun, there must be Gao, Kui, Ji, and Qi, and if you want to be Shang Gaozong, there must be Fu said." Wei Zheng and Zhuge Liang are so good! With the size of the world, it is not that there are no talents, but that the people are not virtuous, and there is no one to help them. If Your Majesty's choice of technique is not clear, although there are Gao, Kui, Ji, Qi, and Fu Shuo, they will also be blinded by the villain, and they will be deaf to their ears. ”

Zhao Ji was silent for most of the day.

If we dare to learn from Yao Shun, we can be a Tang Taizong, both rich and powerful, it will be good.

However, after meditating for a while, there is one person in the court who is close to the height of Zhuge Liang and Wei Zheng, and if the reform is successful, he will definitely surpass the two. Whether it can be surpassed or not depends on the results of the three reforms. Of course, Wang Anshi has his meaning, first, there are people in the court who surpass Wei Zheng and Zhuge Liang, and second, he refers to himself as a master and apprentice, not Zhuge Liang and Wei Zheng in his eyes.

But he didn't know that the idol in his teacher's heart was Zhuge Liang and the second was Yue Fei.

There is nothing wrong with setting the goal high, but Zheng Lang may not pay more attention to Yao Shunyu soup, how good can the ancient society be? No matter how good it is, it is nothing more than a slave country. Besides, can those accounts be taken seriously? Not necessarily one out of ten is true, and we cannot believe all of them, let alone copy a legend or a myth.

After a while, Zhao Ji disagreed a little and said: "He is the supreme person in the world, that is, Yao Shi has the four murderers of Gonggong, Zhendou, Sanmiao, and Kun, and Shun also has the four murderers of Chaos, Qiqi, Hanqi, and Gluttony (they are the four unfilial descendants of the Dihong clan, the Shaohao clan, the Zhuan clan, and the Jinyun clan, and people compare them to the four fierce beasts of ancient times). ”

Wang Anshi replied: "It was Yao Shun who saw the four murderers, either killed or decisively exiled, so it was Yao Shun." If the four murderers are allowed to act arbitrarily and offer slander, that is, there are Gao, Kui, Ji, and Deed, can they rule the world for the Lord with peace of mind? ”

Zhao Wei didn't agree again, Zheng Lang also said a sentence, no one is perfect, nothing is perfect, there are very few good ministers in ancient times, most ministers are good and bad, if they are used well, they are loyal ministers, if they are not used well, they are traitorous ministers, they are good ministers if they use their strengths, and they will become mediocre ministers if they use their shortcomings.

is Li Linfu and his ilk, if they meet Li Longji in the early days of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, they may not be reused, and even if they use Li Linfu, they will not be so bold to dare to gain power. This is the truth of employing people.

Zhao Ji was silent for a while, and said, "How to govern the world?" ”

"Choosing a technique comes first."

The method is very important, Zhao Ji did not object, and asked: "How is Tang Taizong?" ”

Don't talk about Yao Shun, let's have something real.

"Your Majesty should be the law Yao Shun, the way of Yao Shun, simple but not annoying, to be important but not detouring, easy but not difficult. It's just that the latecomers didn't learn it, so they felt unfathomable. ”

If there is no Zheng Lang, Zhao Ji will let Wang Anshi fool, who doesn't want to learn the legendary Yao Shun as an emperor?

But Zhao Ji felt unsteady, and called another student of Zheng Lang to ask about the art of enriching the people.

Sima Guang replied: "The foundation of enriching the people is to win people, and the county order is the most close to the people. Your Majesty can choose to transfer the envoy, the transfer enables the case to know the state, and the state can be the county order, why worry about the people not getting rich? ”

Zhao Ji heard two different discussions, and called Zheng Lang again.

Zheng Lang also didn't speak for most of the day, and finally said: "The way to strengthen the country and enrich the people." One is the technique. The second is a man. There is no such thing as a good strategy. I don't know how to use people. ”

Like playing football, Barcelona made Messi, and if Messi moves to another club, the tactical system is not right. Most of the time it will be like Shevchenko to Chelsea. He also said: "If you don't use good people, any good skills will eventually become a nuisance to the people." ”

"It's too hard."

"It's hard to heal the country. It is impossible to achieve it without the mentality of walking on thin ice and trembling. As for the Yao Shun Shi that Jiefu said is simple and easy, it can only be said that it is well done, and it can theoretically be close to the legendary simple and easy, but in fact it is simple and complex, if it is roundabout, easy is difficult, the simpler it is, the more complicated it is, and the more it is more roundabout. The easier it is, the harder it is. Afraid that Zhao Ji would not understand, he said: "The more inaction, the more promising you must be." Don't say that it takes to achieve the legendary Taoist rule of inaction, the Confucian realm of Datong, that is, to achieve the rule of inaction when Renzong, how much wisdom does it take? ”

Zhao Ji's forehead.

Listening to it, only Zheng Lang's words hit his heart the most. If you want to cure a country, it's so easy.

In fact, these are two different mentalities, Wang Anshi believes that with art first, there must be some good reform plans, and the country's ills will continue to thunder and blow, and the country's governance will come. However, Sima Guang put people first, first used good officials, made the officials clear and clear, and slowly adjusted, the country has drawbacks, and soon the wounds will be smoothed out one after another, that is, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, cause unnecessary commotion, and make the country better. However, both are somewhat idealistic.

Zheng Lang had to call the two to his home and analyze their words.

There are differences, but they are not serious now. Of course, with the two of them, they also gave Zheng Lang a lot of help, and it can only be said that Zheng Lang is in pain and happy.

Fu Bi said after a while: "Xingzhi, you don't know, there are many backlogs in Xifu, and they can't handle it. ”

Fu Bi himself was sick, and he was forced to find Zheng Lang during this time.

"In this way, I ask Your Majesty to take charge of Xifu for a period of time." Zheng Lang can understand that this mishandling of the severity will cause more drawbacks.

"That's for the best."

Subsequently, Zheng Lang made three requests to Zhao Ji, the first of which was to use the three of them to go to Hebei. Hebei floods, Enji Shenying four states have different degrees of disaster, since the work for relief, the water supervisor Li Lizhi, please rebuild the river with the disaster victims in the four states.

The court was allowed to play, but how to repair the river, there were some disputes between the ministers of the court and the central government. Some also suggested that now that the country's finances are tight, repairing the Yuhe River will hurt the people's financial resources even more. So Zheng Lang admonished, and the two of them, Meng and Tian Yu, went to Hebei to inspect. and recommended another person, Shen Kuo. After studying in Zhengjiazhuang for several years, Zheng Lang did not arrive in Beijing, and first asked Zhao Jizhao to return to the capital, and now he is still an inconspicuous middle-level official. This person's ability to comprehend science is very much beyond imagination. After only studying for more than three years, my understanding of physical chemistry and mathematics is no less than that of Shi Heng.

Once this knowledge is applied to practice, it will play an unimaginable role.

The second request was to ask Zhao to transfer Chen Shengzhi back to the Privy Council. At the beginning, Li Liangzuo lured Yang Ding to the border to negotiate and discuss, Wen Yanbo and others agreed, Chen Shengzhi tried his best to oppose it, Zhao Wei did not listen, so Yang Ding was killed. Subsequently, many people opposed the acquisition of Suizhou, and Chen Shengzhi fought hard to keep Suizhou from abandoning. Zheng Lang used this reason to recommend to Zhao Ji to recall Chen Shengzhi.

In fact, it is another concession.

Chen Shengzhi doesn't have much to do with Wen Yanbo, but he has a tacit relationship with Han Qi. At least theoretically, now Zheng Lang has taken the initiative to set up some political enemies in the two prefectures of the east and west, as well as in Taiwan and the two systems.

Don't say that several of my students are all high-ranking officials in the temple, this is their ability, as long as they have the ability, it is better for my students or political enemies, they must be used.

Zhao Ji looked at Zheng Lang, and finally smiled and said, "Accurate." ”

Zheng Lang also said: "Your Majesty, the national army has been reduced and restructured, and the affairs are heavy, and the prime minister of Xifu is very difficult to deal with, so the minister implores His Majesty to let the minister and privy envoy take the post of privy envoy for the time being. A few months later, the matter was settled, and the minister relinquished the post of privy councillor. ”

Zhao Ji also heard about some of the situation in the Privy Council, and without hesitation, he said, "Accurate." ”

Others didn't object much, the matter was provoked by Zheng Lang, and now Zheng Lang took the initiative to come down, there is nothing wrong with it, and it is only temporary, and it has nothing to do with dictatorship. Even if Zheng Lang is like Huang You, he is also the prime minister of the east and west, what can he do?

Zheng Lang arrived in Xifu, and the affairs of Xifu finally became smooth. The main reduction of troops is still Shaanxi, in peacetime, Shaanxi soldiers 450,000, 100,000 soldiers, 130,000 Baojie army, 220,000 forbidden army, as well as a large number of volunteers, all kinds of township soldiers, Sima Guang said that one-third of Shaanxi Ding is in the army, it is not an exaggeration, Han Qi later added 1670,000 volunteers, and the people of Shaanxi were forced to suffer. More than 100,000 volunteers have increased, and almost half of the strong men have directly or indirectly entered the army, delaying Shaanxi's agricultural production. The first thing Zheng Lang did when he entered Dongfu last year was to lay off these volunteers, but so far Shaanxi's vitality has not recovered. But he is extremely familiar with Zheng Lang in Shaanxi.

But the business is too heavy.

The reform of the East Mansion has not entered a stable state, and the reform of the West Mansion has come again, Zheng Lang had to carry the quilt to the West Mansion again, dealing with the affairs of the East Mansion during the day and the affairs of the West Mansion at night.

A minister has done this, no matter how strong the opposition from the outside is, he has to admit that Zheng Lang has worked hard and done his best for the country.

But Zheng Lang also waited, waiting for an extremely important article.

Wait and come.

Layue, Shao Kang has been in the Privy Council for more than a year, and he has not done anything at all, he is not afraid of this, the most terrible thing is that he doesn't care about things, and taking care of things will add to the chaos. In fact, this is caused by the ignorance of military affairs, and Zhao Ji is disgusted. Shao Kang also realized that he wanted to go with illness, so he ordered him to know Yuezhou.

Just as Shao Kang was leaving, the article that Zheng Lang was waiting for was finally sent to the Privy Council. After Wang Shao was admitted to the Jinshi, he first served as the chief secretary of Xin'an, and later joined the army as the manager of the Jianchang Army. The trial production department failed, took a casual guest to Shaanxi, and went to Tubo to "swagger and cheat", and many incidents arose, just because he didn't care about the Tibetan people, and even few people in the court noticed Wang Shao. After several years of travel, Wang Shao knew everything about the side affairs, and finally published three articles in the book "Ping Rong Ce".

Zheng Lang finally waited, for these three "Ping Rong Ce", Zheng Lang waited for nearly ten years!

The reality of waiting is not this strategy, most of the strategies Zheng Lang can be "silently written", and the reality of waiting is a person, the growth of a famous general! Finally seeing this policy, Zheng Lang was pleasantly surprised. Wang Shao has reached such a height in history, if he is "covered", how much role can he play?

PS: I once made a big promise to a bee army to complete 60 shifts this month, but only 56 shifts turned out. I'm so tired that sometimes I just want to rest. Although the promise has not been fulfilled, this month's fifty-six changes, including more than 30,000 words and more than 330,000 words, everyone forgive me. (To be continued.) )
