The protagonist is becoming more and more like a Wedolph, but how? There was a small ambiguity with the Wuyi clan, and so many people were disgusted, so Wei Daofu would be Wei Daofu. This one makes up for yesterday's.

===============

Tian Yu stared at Zheng Lang and said, "Zheng Xianggong, are you happy?" ”

"Yes, yes, Zheng Xianggong is also their kind of person," Zheng Su patted his ass.

Zheng Lang's rare face turned red and said, "No, no, I'm still far behind." ”

Do your own job, you are better than most officials, but you can't live a life as hard as Zhuge Liang and Fan Zhongyan. But in the hearts of Tian Yu, Zhou Xin, and Yuan Xuan, Zheng Lang also reached such a height. Zheng Lang's wisdom, conscientiousness, and morality, no matter what height, are daunting.

This sentence finally led to Fan Zhongyan's death.

Originally, Fan Zhongyan had been working in Suzhou and Hangzhou, or Jiangdong, and the climate in Jiangdong and Zhejiang was slightly helpful to his body. What he said this evening came to the capital, and Zhao Zhen was first stunned, who is the king, and he will be moved if he has such a courtier. As for the ministers, I don't have a taste in my heart, but I can't deny it, I will go to Lingnan instead, do you dare to inspect the states and counties of Lingnan when the miasma is rampant in spring and summer? Moreover, there are all kinds of deeds that follow one after another. Don't talk about this, if you change your position, can you give up the glorious and rich life of the capital and take the initiative to ask to go deep into the barren place in the south? Do you dare to go to Khitan alone with the determination to die? It really can't be done.

Zhao Zhen issued an order for Fan Zhongyan to sentence Nanjing as a fair chapter of the Lu State. He has been added to the rank of knight again. However, Fan Zhong drowned in the north, and the body did not survive the severe cold of winter, and he died of serious illness the following year.

However, although he died in the end, he was better than in history before his death, and he was honored, not died tragically on the way to Xuzhou.

There is also a role. After this sentence came out, no one dared to say a word about what Zheng Lang did in the south. can no longer be wordy, people have reached the goal of being a parent, an official and a courtier. With a clear conscience, what qualifications do you have to be wordy.

The funniest thing is one thing, Dingyuan Zhi County is very harsh to the people. The voice of resentment was full of complaints, so some squires gathered the people, stopped this Shuizhi County, and asked: "Shuizhi County, are you happy to be a man?" Are you happy as a parent? Are you happy as a courtier? ”

This incident became a joke in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and after Zhao Zhen heard about it, he was also happy and dismissed the magistrate. A new prefecture was replaced.

This sentence finally became the moral standard of officials and scholars in the Song Dynasty with Fan Zhongyan's sentence of worrying about the world first, and enjoying the joy of the world after the world, so far, Zheng Lang and Fan Zhongyan have really become the two giants in the hearts of gentlemen.

But then another thing happened. Zheng Lang's evaluation is not as good as Fan Zhongyan's, but in terms of merit, everyone's evaluation is far better than Fan Zhongyan's. But that's going to be a long time coming.

Another thing happened, after hearing Zheng Lang's words, a certain girl in the palace who was growing up laughed stupidly, and finally made a piece of courage. made Zhao Zhen cry and laugh and jumped angrily, and Zhao Zhen clapped his hands happily in the future, and Zheng Lang's reputation was seriously damaged.

All in all, this sentence has had a profound impact.

At the moment, a few people don't know, the thoughts that come from Zheng Lang's heart naturally come out, and Zheng Lang himself doesn't want to say what effect this sentence will have. It's just to say what I think of several emperors, advisers, and moral gentlemen, and it's over when I say it.

Then he asked, "What about the others?" ”

"They want to bathe in the river." Zheng Su said.

…,

Not all Jurchens can swim, but the water resources in Northeast China are also very developed, especially these Jurchens bought from the edge of the sea in eastern Liaodong, there are many rivers, and many people can swim. It's just that some people are daunted. That's why there are rumors in later generations that the Jurchen cavalry went up the mountain and down the river, like covering the ground, all of them can compete with tigers and leopards, one by one is more powerful than tigers and leopards, not to mention wolves, it is a small dish, and can even ride a horse and a tree. But that's not possible.

Zheng Lang said, "Go and call them back." ”

"Whoa."

After a while, dozens of soldiers, along with some Song Dynasty soldiers who were swimming in the river, were gathered by Zheng Lang, and by the way, other soldiers were gathered, Zheng Lang said: "Xunzhou City is developed and mature, there is not much miasma, the weather is not too hot, and there are not many mosquitoes. But from now on, if you want to swim in the river, you have to get my permission. ”

Definitely definitely not a joke.

If you want to be safe and sound in the south, you must maintain strict living habits, live in a tent similar to a stilted building, often bathe in salt water, boil clothes in salt water, prohibit any lice from occurring, and also prohibit the consumption of raw water anywhere, from March onwards, you must use mosquito nets, do not allow mosquito bites to the maximum extent, if possible, sprinkle lime under the camp, and do not walk barefoot. Swimming is also a dangerous thing, don't look at some of the living water is very clean, God knows if there are any bad water bugs and other bad water bugs down there. Once you contract some diseases, with the current medical conditions, there is no way to treat them.

The miasma may not be as terrifying as the legend, and most of the so-called Gu are even more fake, but all kinds of diseases will be truly fatal factors.

The next day, the tour began.

Tian Yu and Yuan Qian went back, each with their own affairs.

Bao Ke stayed to continue to try the case, these two big cases were all over the place, and it didn't take a month or two to figure it out.

With Bao Ke, Zheng Lang left hundreds of soldiers behind, obeyed Bao Ke's command and mobilization, and took only 100 cavalry with Zhou Xin on the road. However, a hundred northwestern horses were sent to Canton with Zheng Lang's mount, near the sea, the climate was better than that of the inland, and the miasma was good, and if necessary, they could be transported from the ship to various places at any time, so they were kept there. More than 100 southern horses were transferred from Guangnan East Road as mounts or pack horses, but the horses have not yet been delivered, so they are on foot first.

The sun still rose, but from this day on, it began to be different. Spring in Liangguang also really came from this day......

Zheng Lang ended the meeting and wanted to enter Xunzhou City. The officials in Xunzhou were at a loss and didn't know how to receive them. According to the previous rules, when a high-ranking official like Zheng Lang arrives, at least he must clear the road, and then he will be entertained with good wine, good food, and beautiful prostitutes. Do you want to do that? After deliberating one by one, it was decided that it was best not to do so.

So there was no clear road, and seeing Zheng Lang with a hundred horsemen, the people in the city were not only talking about the feat of the alliance these days. The local people were very much in favor of what Zheng Langmeng said at the meeting, and the barbarians wanted to get close to the living circle of the Han people. But they were ostracized and looked down upon, and the Han people were equally afraid of the barbarians. The court doesn't want to do much, and it doesn't care. There is a serious estrangement between the two sides. It's better if everyone is a family. is discussing, talking more about Zheng Lang's previous deeds, and the bravery of a hundred horsemen in the battle of following the pious road. Many soldiers were killed and wounded, and a hundred horsemen were unscathed, brave troops.

Hearing that Zheng Lang had entered the city, all the people on both sides of the street rushed over to watch, and consciously left a road in the middle, which was crowded on both sides. The officials of Xunzhou were sweating profusely after seeing this situation, and then looked at Zheng Lang's face carefully.

Seeing that Zheng Lang was not displeased, he was slightly relieved. He also had a "simple" reception in a restaurant. It's not too extravagant, but it's a little more sumptuous than the usual banquet. Then he looked at Zheng Lang, he is the prime minister, and he has a huge property in his family, will he be disgusted by this "vulgar" banquet. …,

Overestimated Zheng Lang.

wants Zheng Lang to live the life of Xiao Song's drunken dreams and death. Zheng Lang can't do it. If Zheng Lang is allowed to live the life of an ascetic like Fan Zhongyan, it is better to kill him.

Even for the officials below, Zheng Lang's requirements are not so strict, as long as he doesn't do too much, Zheng Lang has always turned a blind eye, if he does it well. Zheng Lang will immediately give praise, give them confidence and courage, and most of the officials who "change the evil and return to the right" will not blame the past. This is also the reason why he is the prime minister, the east and the west are efficient, and his subordinate Duole is used by him. This is exactly the opposite of the various practices of the Qingli New Deal. There are a few people in the gentlemen's party who are strict with themselves and others, and most of them are lenient with themselves and strict with others, not to mention Ouyang Xiu, Xiao Song, Yujing and others, even Fu Bi has this problem. He lives a life of fine clothes and food, but he asks his subordinates to live a life as hard as Fan Zhongyan, will the officials be full of public voices?

Zheng Lang's habit in Zhongshu was also brought to Liangguang.

Of course, he would like to see one or two officials like Hai Jui dare to entertain him with green vegetables, tofu and dried radish, although he doesn't like to eat this kind of food, but he doesn't mind reusing this bold official. It's a pity that Zheng Lang stayed in Liangguang for a long time, and he didn't meet a similar official.

Zheng Lang was also satisfied with Xunzhou's hospitality. After it is passed out, it also forms a standard. All states and counties entertained Zheng Lang with similar hospitality, and it was noticed that Zheng Lang's most disgusting thing was the people's worrying activities such as Qingdao. In the end, a very common standard was formed, which reversed the atmosphere of the two Guangxi officials and maintained it for a long time.

After having a meal, Zheng Lang went down to see the living conditions and business conditions of the people in the city.

In the evening, when Zheng Lang was about to end this inspection, a woman suddenly rushed out with a child in her arms and knelt in front of Zheng Lang. This is the disadvantage of not having a clear road, which is easy for the people to approach.

"You ......"

"Zheng Xianggong, you are a good official, please let my family officials go."

"What did your official do, and what is his name?"

"My family's official name is Lan Feng."

"Tsuren?"

"No, Han Chinese."

Zheng Lang suddenly remembered that this time, through those captured prisoners, many behind-the-scenes plots were tried, but the trial continued, and some people did not directly participate, but they could not clear their responsibilities if they contributed money and efforts in the back. There are even a few powerful people in Zhangzhou and Tingzhou who are afraid that after the smooth implementation of the new salt policy in Qianzhou, Fujian Road will also implement this salt policy and join one after another. There were some people in Xunzhou who joined, and one of them was named Lan Feng.

The woman said again: "The concubine family still has a father-in-law and mother-in-law, a few children, Zheng Xianggong, you are a good official, let go of my family officials, and you will never dare to do it in the future." ”

Zheng Lang laughed and asked, "Big lady, if you let go of your family officials and follow the pious path of more than 200 lives, what will those family members think?" Over the years, countless officers and soldiers have been killed and robbed of good families, and thousands of families have been harmed, what do their families think? If it weren't for my careful arrangement, I and the two pacification envoys, as well as hundreds of soldiers, would have become the souls of the sword, and even so, more than 70 soldiers were killed in battle, and more than 100 soldiers were injured, what would they think? ”

The woman was just crying when she was holding the child.

Zheng Lang said again: "But don't worry, the officials involved will not be spared." However, only those responsible for the relevant cases will be investigated, and the officials who did not participate will not be allowed to be implicated, let alone the family members, wives and children who are not involved. This is also the system of the imperial court, Your Majesty's magnanimity, go back. ”

If Zheng Lang first entered the official career, he is poor in money. will take the opportunity to raid the family and exterminate the clan, but today, Zheng Lang's personality is actually becoming more and more gentle. Don't be greedy for that money. Save it to make other heroes feel kinship. …,

The next sentence is not spoken, you have a family and a business, and you are not very old. When the husband is dead, find another one.

The woman wept a little more before leaving.

Many owners of local wealthy families saw this scene and were glad in their hearts, but fortunately they did not participate. Not to mention anything else, just the 60 million yuan was smashed down, and the foreign businessmen benefited, and they were the head snakes of the land, and this Xianggong's ability was about to reach the sky, and he benefited even more. Which piece does not make money. Why go against the wind, stupid can't be.

But to the surprise of Xunzhou officials, Xunzhou seems to be a vast area, but in fact it can only control less than one-third of the territory around Longchuan and Xingning River, the southeast corner and the entire northwest. None of them can be controlled. Or nominal control, actual bondage, some barbarians in the deep mountains can't even talk about bondage, just ask them not to make trouble and thank God. The terrain is complicated, these people are bold, and Zheng Lang only led a hundred horsemen. Now that even the horses are sent back to Guangzhou, if someone has a bad mind, can they afford it? Moreover, in this business, the prime minister talked and laughed with his own officials, and it seemed that he was not evil, and if he wanted to do what he planned, the officials of every state and county would have a lot of political achievements. Therefore, all the officials were ordered overnight to rush to all intersections at once, conduct a strict check, and interrogate every suspicious pedestrian without worrying the people, as a warning.

The next day, however, there was another incident that scared them away.

After Zheng Lang left the city, he ran directly to the northwest and went to a large barbarian tribe.

It was not as serious as they thought, this clan chief participated in the Xunzhou League and was very courteous to Zheng Lang. Seeing Zheng Lang bring his subordinates to his village, the patriarch was even more overjoyed, and led more than 200 households in the entire village to welcome all the people at home.

I wanted to give a hug from afar, but when I thought of Zheng Lang's noble identity, I stopped.

Zheng Lang smiled and took the initiative to give a bear hug, which made him even more happy. On the same day, pigs and chickens were slaughtered, warm hospitality, and the girls in the clan performed songs and dances.

At the end of a grand party, Zheng Lang set up a tent outside the village to rest, and did not harass the villagers. Just one line, let all the surrounding villages sing together, and when the next day started, countless villages walked down from their respective mountains together to see off Zheng Lang.

It can also be said to be a means, but it is a means, Zheng Lang used his heart. Then he ran to Changle and Xingning counties. By the way, I saw the Dayou Lead Field, the Stone Pit Lead Field, the Luminous Silver Field, and the Luo Yi Tin Field. This is also the strangest place.

Now the mining technology is backward, the first one can not be well refined, except for the particularly good bonanza, the mineral deposits can only extract two or three tenths, which is mostly a waste. As for the associated minerals, even less can be refined. Therefore, Zheng Lang clearly knows where many mineral deposits are located in China, and he is far more clear than the distribution of overseas mineral deposits, and the country lacks gold, silver, copper and iron metal deposits, but he does not mention it. If it is not opened, it will not be wasted underground, and if it is opened, the waste will be serious.

The second is the prospecting technology, in fact, there are mineral deposits everywhere, as far as the depths of the Pacific Ocean, as high as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, as bitter as the desert of Xinzhoujiang, and as cold as the desert north. But now the prospecting technology is very backward, often only open-pit mines, or shallow mines, deep mines can not be explored. Even if you find it, if it is a little deeper, or for various reasons, the veins are broken or missing, and after doing some simple exploration, there is no effect, so give up immediately. As a result, these mines made future generations feel very embarrassed.

Unless there is one point, Zheng Lang insists that there are 100 million tons of ore here, and at least 20 million tons can be opened, and you only open one million tons, it's still early, continue to look for it. Then invest a lot of manpower and material resources to find the next vein and continue mining.

What is strange is not this, but the distribution of the ore veins found, 90% of which are distributed in remote areas, such as Jinghu South Road and Liangguang, which account for almost half of the gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin mines of the Song Dynasty. Could it be that these prospectors, like themselves, want to keep the main mine and mine it later, only looking for veins in remote areas? …,

The output is not high, and the silver mines in the country are mostly floating in more than 60 to 80 or so, and occasionally new mines are found, and many mines cannot find mineral deposits and are abandoned. The total tax was at the time of Song Zhenzong, reaching nearly 900,000 taels. By the time of Huangyou, it had dropped to more than 200,000 taels. Part of this is because of the severity of taxation. Zhao Zhen's government was relaxed, and the officials below were bold and reckless, and smuggled away. But not all the factors, such as gold production and copper production have been steadily increasing, especially copper, the southern copper output is more than 10 million catties, while the northern copper output is only about 10,000 catties. That's a thousandfold difference. There is another factor in the decline in taxation, no new mines have been discovered, and old mines have either broken their veins. Either there is only some surplus ore left, and the production is low. In fact, most of the mines still have mines, but they haven't been found.

Zheng Lang looked at it.

Not very good. In the early Song Dynasty, the service system was realized, which was a disguised labor system, that is, an order was issued that the service households must complete the prescribed output every year, and the rest was distributed by themselves. Of course, it is impossible for officials to give much "surplus" to be distributed by the servants, so the number of servants is set to the maximum. As a result, the household often fails to complete the task, and even has a serious deficit, and has to go bankrupt and flee, if you meet the Sui and Tang Dynasty Romance Cheng Biting Jin (Cheng Biting Jin is fictional. The real Cheng Zhijie has a good family background, and it is impossible to be a smuggler of salt and squatting in prison), I have nothing, you corrupt officials, come on. What can I do!

In response to this situation, first Xue Kui and then Liang Shi made adjustments in their own jurisdictions, replacing the service system with an employment system. If there is no Zheng Lang, it will be Bao Zheng's envoy again. In order to cooperate with Bao Zheng, Zhao Zhen issued an edict to Shaanxi to transfer the envoy, and Tongzhou Tiezhi called people to buy it from now on, giving private Tiezhi more reasons and convenience. But the employment system still has many drawbacks, so when Wang Anshi changed the law, he established a two-eight point system, the imperial court produced mineral deposits, and the people prepared their own materials for cooking, and the imperial court charged two cents for the obtained minerals, and the remaining eight cents were sold by the households. The establishment of this system has increased the enthusiasm of pit households, and the output of various metal ores has increased almost ninefold compared with that of Taizong of the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Lang also adopted this progressive regulation when he was in the middle book, and the steps were not too big, not two or eight, but three or seven, the imperial court got three, not two, and the pit household got seven, not eight. It has already been implemented locally.

The Xunzhou mines are still the same system of service as in the past.

The situation is really not good, especially the stone pit lead field, the service is 50,000 catties, the actual total output of pit households is less than 47,000 catties, every year the pit households are in debt, some pit households are bankrupt and fleeing to become homeless, the pit production is reduced, the miners dare not report for the sake of political achievements, and the pressure on the remaining pit households, the output is even lower, and the annual output is less than 40,000 catties.

Hearing that Zheng Lang was coming, the man went down to the mine, and there were only some women left in the mine, holding their children one by one, holding wild vegetable nests in their hands, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Zheng Lang's heart of a little otaku softened, and his eyes were a little wet.

The miner stood on the sidelines, not daring to say anything.

Zheng Lang was silent for a long time, and said: "Everyone, don't cry, listen to a certain announcement of an order." From now on, the three seven systems will be implemented in both Guangxi and Guangzhou. ”

"What three-seven system?"

Zheng Lang explained, and said: "And a certain order of the Bank of Guangzhou must issue 20 taels of money as capital to all pit households within two months, without any interest for three years, and then the state and county officials will issue 10 stone loans to all pit households, which will be repaid after one year without any interest. ”

In fact, the implementation is also very troublesome.

Why did the service system fail? It is mainly the greed of the miners, which increases the cost of mine control, and the implementation of the three-seven system, the duty of the miners is only responsible for checking the total amount of ore mined and refined by the miners, and there is no other right. The income of the miners inevitably declined, which hurt the income of all the miners. …,

Therefore, Wang Anshi's 28-point system is a meaningful system, but it is opposed and hated by more people.

Zheng Lang's implementation of the 37 system in Liangguang would also be rejected by these miners.

However, with the aftermath of the bloody battle of the Methodist Path, it can be carried out smoothly.

"Really, really?" A skinny elderly woman asked excitedly.

"I am the highest official in Liangguang, can I tell lies to deceive you? Don't believe it, you see," Zheng Lang immediately instructed the guards to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, write down this order, and then asked the guards to go back and issue it to all the mines in Liangguang.

He also wrote a memora on the stone to explain the matter, what is the reason? The pit households worked hard for the country for a year, but after a year, they did not reap the harvest, but owed a large debt to the state. Why?

This is the golden age of Shenma! No, it's the era of rotten iron!

Zhou Xin stood on the side and smiled bitterly, the golden age of Shenma is the name under your governance, so you don't slap other people's faces, you slap your own face. However, from this aspect, we can also see the side of the prime minister's love for the people. After hearing the news, all the miners came out of the mine and cheered and thanked one by one.

Zheng Lang bowed seriously and said: "I have been the prime minister for four and a half years, in charge of the east and west, but let you live such a hard life, it is not Your Majesty's fault, Your Majesty is merciful, I hope you can live a good life, and I have given power to govern the country, the reason why this is so is my fault." Now that I have done nothing more than to make amends, how can I accept your gratitude. ”

Along the way, a touching deeds came, many states and counties of the people eagerly awaited, Taixue newspaper wrote a paragraph like this, preaching the benevolence and brilliance of His Majesty, coercing the emperor to bless the aftermath of the prosperous world, where it passed, all things recovered, and the spring breeze was pleasant......
