Xiao Huang's words said: "I have met the prefect Zheng."

I absolutely dare not be arrogant. Although Zheng Lang has not returned to Beijing, he also knows Zheng Lang's position in Zhao Zhen's heart, and this matter...

"Don't dare, the eunuch's surname?"

"My surname is Sun."

"I've met Eunuch Sun."

Eunuch Sun looked at the lake and asked curiously: "Is this..."

"Control the lake," Zheng Lang briefly explained the reason.

"So why..." Eunuch Sun pointed to the pavilion.

"If it is a piece of beautiful jade wrapped in a dirty rag and sold on a street stall, how much is the price difference compared to a piece of high-quality silk scutellar and sold in a shop? Hangzhou is a good place. There is no place to put mud anyway, so we build a dike with mud, spend less money, plant some tea trees and pavilions, not only water conservancy, but also a bright scenery in the future. It is not a deliberate spending money on the scenery, but not much money, and the lake is beautiful in the future and the city is more beautiful, so why not do it?" Zheng Lang could only answer this way, but it was not the point, and asked again: "What's your Majesty ask me?"

"Your Majesty has several questions to ask about."

"I don't dare to take it, please ask."

"Are those people you sent back?" Everyone, as long as they know the inside story, were very concerned. Zheng Lang said something to Zhao Zhen, but he didn't say everything.

I had a certain understanding of the Song people in Japan, and knew that Dong'ao Island produced gold, and silver was produced in Xibe Island. I also knew that there were mountain city, five states, including Yamato and other five prefectures, fifty-three counties, another fourteen prefectures and one hundred and sixty-two counties in Tokaido, one hundred and twenty-two counties in Tokaido, seven prefectures and thirty-two counties in Hokuriku Road, eight prefectures and fifty-two counties in Yakuriku Road, eight prefectures and sixty-nine counties in Koyang Road, six prefectures and forty-eight counties in Nanhai Road, nine prefectures and ninety-three counties in Xihai Road, and one ke, two counties in Tsuma Sandao, each of which was the so-called five capitals, seven roads and three islands, three thousand seven hundred and seven counties, four hundred and fourteen posts, eighty-eight three thousand three hundred and twenty-nine courses.

Most of the records are wrong.

Because the Japanese country was weak in the era of Ping'an, he did not send envoys to come. So Emperor Taizong of Song summoned a Japanese businessman. The merchant was ashamed of his history and did not remember it. He only remembered one sentence, summoned him to Yangran, and gave him purple clothes and housed him in Xingguo Temple in Taiping. The emperor heard that the king's surname was passed down, and all the ministers were in the past officials. He sighed and said to the prime minister, "This island is a long-lasting fortune, and his ministers have been continuously inherited. This is the ancient way. China has been divided from the rebellion of the Tang Ji Dynasty. The five dynasties of Liang and Zhou Dynasty enjoyed the history of the ministers, and few ministers can inherit their ancestors. Although I am so virtuous and ashamed of the saints, I always feared the foundation and dared not spare time. Building infinite business and long-term model, I also thought of the plan for descendants to inherit the position of the ministers. This is my heart."

Look at how good it is for Japan. It has been passed down from generation to generation for so long, but China has changed its dynasty in an average of decades.

I don’t know what to do. If I know, Zhao Kuangyi won’t say this.

He also took sulfur from sulfur balls, which was familiar to the East China Sea. People in the Song Dynasty were familiar with those things.

It is also the reason why Zhao Zhen believes what Zheng Lang said.

It was also very fast to arrive in Japan. Zheng Lang read a history book in his previous life. If Japan and Goryeo were smooth sailing, ships could be drifted in four or five days. Zheng Lang was a little unbelievable.

But that's true. The route to Japan was also a route from the Tang Dynasty. It departed from Mingzhou, crossed the East China Sea, and transferred to Kada Island, Japan to Hakata Port. The whole journey was smooth sailing for only seven days. Only the route to Goryeo changed, and it was also changed from Dengzhou, Shandong to Mingzhou, for a total of fifteen days.

The Song Dynasty did not have much contact with Japanese envoys, but they frequently interacted with Goryeo envoys. For strategic needs, the Song Dynasty had a total of nearly 90 exchanges.

This sailing time refers to the wind and the wind. It is hard to say.

Because it is close, there is a lot of supply along the way, and you can also drive against the current and against the wind. However, when you go to countries such as Dashi East Africa, the distance is long and you have to follow the monsoon. The farthest to East Africa takes one and a half years to go back and forth. It is not the time to sail, but half of the time is delayed at various marinas and ports.

Wang Zhaoming left Hangzhou for almost three months, so he asked.

Zheng Lang said: "I don't know that this journey is not for driving or for communication. Although our dynasty is weaker than the Tang Dynasty, it is still a great country in the hearts of the Japanese. Even merchants respect it very much. It will not be difficult to provide food and clothing for the first trip. What is difficult is the future. Time is wasted on searching and negotiation."

Negotiations can be moved back and looking for what takes time.

Given a map, what can you prove?

For example, I gave a map of Cebu Island. This terrain should be easier to find. It is just a paramecium-shaped shape, very unique, but I found it in the unfamiliar Luzon Islands, and there are so many islands that I can't speak. I don't have many months to find it.

It is the limitation caused by backward technology. It is not a bird's eye view in the airplane, standing on the deck of the ship, the stones and trees are almost the same. It is not easy to form an intuitive impression in your mind and form a map. In addition to having your own bug.

Japan is better, with close contacts and familiar terrain.

Zheng Lang thought about it and said, "But I won't wait for a long time. I believe that the letter will come soon. If Eunuch Sun doesn't dislike him and stays in Hangzhou, he will be able to get the news after waiting for about one to two months."

"Okay," said Eunuch Sun. Hangzhou is so rich and beautiful, and it is hard to go out to send you away. It is such a good place.

But it is impossible to blackmail.

Zheng Lang and Wang Anshi said that he wrote down the doctrine of the mean, and it is difficult to implement it.

I have encountered many things, but I have fewer things than other magistrates.

When he arrived in Taipingzhou, he was the top scholar and was valued by Zhao Zhen. He was even appointed as a master (the Ministry of Personnel Selection is an ordinary official selection, and when he went to the blind dates of the Secretariat, it was called the Eastern Palace's relatives, which was a certain amount of more than the official positions of the Ministry of Personnel. Then he was appointed by the emperor. This was the most expensive official selection, which was called the Zhu's official). The monsters and monsters took the initiative to avoid the benefits they gave themselves, and the plan did not investigate, and the great governance came. But only Taipingzhou would have come if he had come to Hangzhou at that time. Later, Taipingzhou's political achievements in invisibly increased his reputation. If it were not for Lu Gongbi and Han Jiang, they would have been like Taipingzhou.

The background is very good. Zhao Zhen is a benevolent king. The big bosses in the court have different political views. There are very few ministers who are unforgivable, including Xia Shu. His superiors are also good, and Zhang Xia and Ye Qingchen are also capable ministers.

This is to take the initiative to avoid it and use profit to win over it. If there is no huge profit, it is still impossible to rely solely on the doctrine of the mean.

It is also a place where Zheng Lang is confused.

But in the eyes of Eunuch Sun, Hangzhou is a good place.

Zheng Lang asked again: "Why is Your Majesty so anxious?"

"Oh, something is likely to happen in the northwest."

"What is going to happen in the northwest is here, I have said it long ago. Your Majesty doesn't listen, so why should you sigh?" Zheng Lang said angrily.

"Master Zheng, I have something to do in the past few years..."

"Even if there is something wrong and some disasters, I have made a plan to cut off the business path. Passing by Tubo, at that time, the father and son of Dasilu had never turned against each other and became enemies. If I listen to my plan, I might not turn against each other and become enemies in the past two years because of the heavy profits. Tubo united and relied on Tubo alone, Li Yuanhao's clone could not be. How dare I rebel against our dynasty? Following my plan, how much can the court spend? If I don't give my friends' benefits, I will support my enemies and wolves. I don't know what Your Majesty is thinking."

"Your Majesty regrets it too."

"Then I dare to ask again, how should the court treat him when he comes to surrender?"

What happened in September this year, Li Yuanhao's alliance came to the heroes, and the blood and wine of the skull cup were placed in the skull cup. Drink it together. This is the most important blood oath of the Dangxiang people. Once you drink this wine, you must not betray the oath alliance. Otherwise, there will be a bad ending.

Either you don’t drink, and you must abide by the oath if you drink, otherwise God will not punish you. But the Dangxiang people will be enemies of you for life.

The content of the oath was to attack Fuyan Road first with the heroes, and attacked from Jingde, Saimen and Chicheng Road together.

But Li Yuanhao was telling lies. He wanted his subordinates to abide by the blood oath, but he used the blood oath as a means and tool to exploit it. It was fake to attack the Song Dynasty and to test the hearts of the powerful.

He did not take the blood oath seriously, but because of the blood oath, the heroes could not tell lies. Many chiefs opposed the advice on the spot and killed them. Li Yuanhao's uncle also advised Li Yuanhao several times, but he refused to listen and was afraid of the punishment. He made an appointment with Yanzhou prefect Guo and brought his wife to surrender.

Guo Quan is a straight minister and an honest official, but he is the type of official that Zheng Lang doesn't like. He doesn't have much talent, just because he has a little moral integrity and makes a point of fingering and doing real things, he can't do anything well. This view is a bit biased. But in this matter, Guo Quan did do something wrong.

If Zheng Lang is replaced, he will personally lead his troops to the border and then treat the mountain with good treatment. However, Guo persuaded him very well. He personally ordered Han Zhoushan to meet a family in the mountains and return Li Yuanhao to him, but was shot and killed by Li Yuanhao to establish his authority on the border.

The eunuch Sun could not speak.

Zheng Lang sarcastically said, "Empress Sun, do you know what status is Shanyu in Dangxiang? He is Yuan Hao's uncle, one of the top ministers. He knows all the mountains, rivers, terrain, food, soldiers, and personnel abilities of Dangxiang. Even if he sent 100,000 scouts, he would not get the news brought back by Shanyu. Moreover, if the court had a grand gift to Shanyu, there would be many tribes within Dangxiang that were dissatisfied with Yuanhao. Many tribes came to join. Without the people, there would be no wealth and soldiers. Yuan Hao was weak, so how dare he rebel? With one collection and one gift, it would be worth 100,000 majestic troops, with 100,000 yuan of money."

"Where did this happen?"

"Look, I said that if you want to get a hundred thousand majestic army, 100 million majestic army is still a small amount. It is possible that in the future, 1 million majestic army may not be able to completely surrender the people of Dangxiang. When Lu Gongzhu talked to Your Majesty, he once mentioned what I said to Your Majesty. If the Dangxiang people come to surrender, they must take it in, and it is a mountain encounter. In this matter, once Yuan Hao raises up his troops, Guo Guan and the two incompetent ministers, Li Wei, who are incompetent, should be killed, and Your Majesty will also issue a decree to blame himself!"

"Kill it?"

"With the lives of a hundred thousand heroes and the battle costs of hundreds of millions of yuan, Guo Guan and Li Wei cannot be buried with him! The bullshit civil officials are afraid of death and so much, so why bother to the border!"

Fu Bimohan, Zheng Lang, you are also an elegant person, how can you use the word "bastard"?

He didn't know the seriousness of the matter, and it was easy to curse bullshits. After seeing the news, Zheng Lang wanted to jump into his feet and scold his mother.

Seeing that the Song Dynasty was so weak, Li Yuanhao finally let go of his courage and usurped the title of Emperor Shiwen of Daxia, Yingwu, and Jianli Renxiao, and changed the second year of Daqing to the first year of Yanzuo. He posthumously named his ancestor Jiqian Emperor Shenwu and the temple name Taizu; his father Deming was called Emperor Guangsheng and the temple name was Taizong. He sent an envoy to report to usurp the title. The envoy had not yet arrived in the capital.

However, Zheng Lang was learning from Tang Monk, and he read the jingle once on the left and the jingle once on the right, which played some role. The Song Dynasty attached importance to the information of the Dangxiang people and sent some news that Yuan Hao was not real or untrue to proclaim himself emperor. The court was quarreling about this matter, so Zhao Zhen sent an envoy to inquire.

The eunuch Sun was speechless.

Zheng Lang said again: "You told Your Majesty that border affairs have nothing to do with me. I have said what I want to say long ago. Finally, I would like to say that if I send me to the northwest, I must know a little about the military and issue strict orders. I will be punished severely. Although my ancestors do not kill scholars and officials, they can be punished according to Yang Jiye's example."

The Pan-Yang dispute has become a historical tragedy, and even led to later generations fighting each other and not being allowed to marry each other. However, in fact, Pan Mei was the first brave general in the founding of the Song Dynasty and was not a treacherous minister in the Romance of the Romance. There are two statements about Yang Ye's death. One is that Pan Mei was forced by the king and could not withdraw his troops. The other is that Pan Mei was a famous military expert and knew the importance of it. However, during the Han Dynasty, Yang Ye and Pan Mei had already formed a grudge. Later, Yang Jiye made great achievements, so Pan Meimo regarded the king's withdrawal order, resulting in Yang Ye's death.

Pan Yang did not mention his grudges, but the court was also punished very severely at that time. Wang Zhi, the military supervisor, was Zhao Kuangyi's confidant, and he had a higher position in Zhao Zhen's heart than Yan Wenying, so he killed him. Pan Mei was the most important hero in the founding of the country and was demoted to three levels. Compared with these two people, these scholars and officials in the court were nothing.

If we follow this example, once Yuan Hao rebelled, even though Guo Guan and Li Wei did not kill him, at least he would have to touch the end and exile to Lingnan was not considered exile.

Continue, "Your Majesty is too soft. Your Majesty should have read the books written by me. The so-called emperor's way is just a technique of balance, a kind of mean. Benevolence cannot be used as a woman's benevolence, and righteousness is the true great benevolence. Or in other words, there is grace to be given, power to be established, and power to be controlled by force can truly fulfill the grace. If Your Majesty cannot do it, it is better to discuss with Li Yuanhao and give him generous annual monies. As long as he agrees to surrender, even if he gives him the same treatment as the Khitans, he will save war, death, and money."

A large-scale battle will cost tens of millions of yuan. So it is said to save money.

He continued: "If you fight, you must be determined to fight and make rewards and punishments. As for money and silk, I will do it in Hangzhou and solve some of the difficulties of the money system for the court. If you don't make rewards and punishments, I believe that Li Yuanhao will write a letter to insult the court soon."

“Why?”

"Our dynasty is their sect leader. Since Li Deming, our dynasty's policy has always been tolerant. His subordinates have many tribes to treat our dynasty. And with his ability, they only hurt the border and the northwest, and cannot shake our dynasty's roots. So insulting, let our dynasty take the initiative to attack. Let him get an excuse to unite the tribes. But if Your Majesty can't do what I just said, it's best to let him insult. Anyway, most of the courts are seeking peace. Li Yuanhao hurts millions of people in dozens of prefectures and prefectures on the border, and does not hurt their families. Your Majesty wants to be kind, let him scold, let him hurt millions of people on the border, and it's best to let Li Yuanhao be the sect leader and let Your Majesty pay tribute to him."
