"Is it true?" Zhang Fangping said again.

The scout was speechless and said, "I only heard rumors. Whether it is true or false. My subordinates may not be very clear."

"You go down." Zheng Lang said.

Turning his head and saying to Zhang Fangping: "Ninety percent is true."

"How is that possible?"

"I will tell you the passage." Zheng Lang said his counter-espionage plan one by one. The fewer these actions, the better. It's not that he doesn't believe Zhang Fangping. What if he loses his mouth?

However, after Zheng Lang figured it out, he relaxed his mind, no longer looked back and was timid, and instead participated in politics with a more positive attitude. Whether it was successful or not, it was just a mentality! If you want to do things, a person has limited abilities. You must find some people to cooperate. These people must have talents, similar political thoughts, and moral integrity. Never be a person like Lu Huiqing. This person is very talented, too selfish, too utilitarian, too strong, and even strong skills. Han Qi can't do anything about it. He told Wang Anshi that you come to the court. I will be played to death by Lu Huiqing. Han Qi is so awesome. He almost got disabled by Lu Huiqing. These people must not be used. It's not to use people. It's just to carry a boiling oil pan and pour it on his head.

But Zhang Fangping was isolated and had no help. He was unable to stand up. Therefore, he called Zhang Fangping and asked him to participate in many matters. He fought for the greatest political achievements in the next year or months of the northwest.

After listening, Zhang Fangping was stunned.

"Soldiers are also intrigues. They have to do it."

"What a plan."

"Don't pay attention to it. If the court does not recover, this effort will be wasted." Zheng Lang was still a little happy. For example, if the game of chess is played, who will win. If one game is played, it may not be known. But if you want to win, you must start from beginning to end. Every piece of chess must be well. In the early Qingli game, Khitan is the biggest loser. It is difficult to say whether the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty are good or bad. The Song Dynasty has a little win, but not much. If you want to get better, you must have a good card.

The death of the Yeli brothers not only caused two important officials to die in Xixia, but also caused a series of events, which meant that he had already obtained the first big card in his hand.

"Brother An Dao, not only that, it is very likely that Li Yuanhao will send troops to Jingyuan Road again after the autumn harvest."

“When?”

"I don't know. Have you heard some rumors among the people that I intentionally exclude Ge Huaimin and prevent his talents from being displayed?"

"The news spread by the Xixia people?"

"It was spread by the Xixia people. Ge Huaimin also taught some people to fan the flames and expand the rumors. It was definitely not Ge Huaimin's head. He didn't have the courage yet."

"well."

"I don't need it. Brother An Dao can write a letter to ask Fan Xiwen and ask him about Ge Huaimin. But he himself doesn't know. He is angry every day. Someone in the temple will say that I cannot tolerate others. Not driving it is a hidden danger. I have to walk on thin ice and use it carefully." In fact, it is a lack and a bait left. Zheng Lang used a nice explanation.

"Brother Zhang, please use tea." Cui Xian brewed a pot of tea for Zhang Fangping.

It is a tea made from top Jianzhou tea cakes. Zheng Lang and Fan Zhongyan are also completely different in life. They are not luxurious, but they also focus on enjoyment.

It is hard to say whether it is good or bad. Both are done well to appease the border people. The Qiangs on the border called Fan Zhongyan Longtu Laozi. Zheng Lang was too young and it was not time for Laozi. However, the Qiang people named Banchun Xianggong, which was equivalent to sending half a spring to Jingyuan Road. The reason was half because the war continued and many children died. Otherwise, it was "Quanchun Xianggong".

“Good tea.”

"I have a few cakes here. If you like it, Brother An Dao can bring two of them back."

"Thank you." The two of them had similar family backgrounds. They were both from each other. Zhang Fangping didn't care. He replied casually.

"Now we have to wait for an east wind?"

"East wind?"

"I'll wait until Fu Bi's east wind blows, and Jiashan can start it. In a few days, I will call you to discuss carefully. It's still time. Before the autumn harvest comes, Yuan Hao dares not start a battle against Jingyuan Road."

"good."

"Brother Andao, I will talk to you about the exemption law."

"Please tell me." Zhang Fangping sat upright. Since Zheng Lang opened the exemption law in Taiping Prefecture and Hangzhou. More magistrates and prefects wrote letters to the court to try it out. This caused controversy in the court. As the Northwest Battle began, no one dared to say that the exemption law would be implemented again. Although some people saw the convenience brought by the implementation of the exemption law in Hangzhou and Taiping Prefectures, they had to endure it.

Zheng Lang also mentioned the various disadvantages of the exemption law. He did not think it was good. If it was improperly implemented, it would have more controversy than the banks.

"The situation is different in different places. People in the south like to eat rice. People in the north like to eat pasta. People on the grassland eat more meat. Can a certain policy be implemented uniformly?"

"Xingzhi said it was Jiangdong?"

"It is true that if the whole country is divided into five levels, Jiangdong will gradually stand out because of the successful opening of the dike. The Taihu River Basin has been richest in the world since the Tang Dynasty. There are also Yangzhou, Jingji and Yizhou. They are all wealthy places in the world." Zheng Lang was about to talk about the topic. Shi Congguang walked in from outside and said, "Bachelor. At that time, the wife of the family said that it is okay to go to the bachelor's. But she asked the students to give her a few big characters."

Zhang Fangping shivered.

Zheng Lang's calligraphy is popular all over the world nowadays. However, except for official letters, few words are exposed. Official letters or memorials need to be archived. It is impossible to take them out and spread. The fewer people think it is rare. Liu Liufu uses characters to Zheng Lang, which is also a half-true and half-false statement. There are aristocrats who like calligraphy in Khitan. They also used a lot of money to buy Zheng Lang's calligraphy from the Song people.

Want Zheng Lang's big words. Is it the little lady from which family?

Shi Congguang is also worried and heartbroken.

Not to mention the authority of the government. In the early Song Dynasty, several generations of monarchs attached importance to internal governance. Officials did not dare to act arrogantly. Even if they embezzled and extorted, they would make a clever name. They would like to force the people to rob people of their daughters, openly seize houses and land, and bullies dared to do it. Officials did not dare to do it. There were many impeachments by spoken ministers. The strict mechanism of spoken ministers made officials dare not put on airs in front of the people.

There are people who are not afraid of officials. Their little masters do not put on airs. There are more people who are not afraid of them.

Zheng Lang doesn’t like the people’s fear of himself either. Why bother?

But Zheng Lang took the initiative to take in the couple and taught them to study matters. If they were not done well, they would be successful. For example, he and Tong Ming were in charge of the market. It was already noticed by the court. It was sooner or later to be appointed as an official.

The couple are very good. They are like cutting their flesh. As expected, they have their own ambitions and cannot force them.

Zheng Lang was also angry //The fastest text update -<  >-No ads//I can't laugh or cry. I picked up the pen and wrote four big words: Self-knowledge.

He said to Shi Congguang: "Tell them, don't think they have made some money. If my policy changes slightly, all their property will be gone in a blink of an eye. There is also the miscellaneous knowledge. What is the best knowledge about astronomy and geography? It is purely a frog in the well. I don't know the sky is high and the earth is thick."

"Here." Shi Congguang left with the words.

"Who is it?"

"Two merchants in Weizhou." Zheng Lang said the story.

"This businessman is smart."

"It's hard to say whether it's smart or not. But the gunpowder formula cannot be leaked. Otherwise, the nomadic peoples will use it to deal with our Central Plains. It will be worse." Speaking of this, Zheng Lang thought of the cannons that had entered the pass. The Ming Dynasty cannons did not blow up the Jurchens and Tatars. On the other hand, once the Jurchens obtained artillery technology, they would be even more powerful. This has become an unsolvable problem. Unless it can quickly move from the black gunpowder era to the yellow gunpowder era within a few decades, and a true continuous-haired rifle appeared. The advantages of the nomadic people will disappear. Is this possible? With the tragic technology that is backward now, don't talk about it for decades. Three hundred and four hundred years may not be possible.

He also said: "Look. If I were smart, I would really teach them some theories of studying matters, rather than their nonsense. See if I could use their hands to blossom and bear fruit and create more new things that benefit the country and the people."

Zheng Lang suspected, and Zhang Fangping also suspected.

"Brother An Dao, let's talk about the exemption law. If the country is divided into five levels, these prefectures are all the first-class wealthy prefectures. Secondly, they are near Jingji. The prefectures are relatively close to the capital of Jiangdong and Liangzhe. Then they go to the border area of ​​Hebei, Hedong and Shaanxi. Finally, they are Kuizhou Road and Lingnan Road, and some mountainous areas of Lizhou Road. They are still backward serf system. They are similar to the Jurchens. If these prefectures are forced to implement the exemption law, they must cause trouble. They can give them labor. Who is willing to pay money instead of the servitude law? Besides, will the enforce the servants be these big families and wealthy chiefs? The prefectures on the border between Hedong and Shaanxi are heavy. However, luckily, the court is more taxed and lightened to reduce the pressure on the people. If the exemption law is implemented, it is equivalent to a complete change. The consequences are unpredictable. What is needed here are strong people. Not only do they implement the servants, but also archers to further protect the border security for the country."

"Xingzhi. This statement makes sense. It is absolutely impossible for both to implement the exemption law."

"Aside from that, the third-class prefectures are mostly poor areas. Of course, you can use the exemption money generated by the first-class and second-class prefectures to subsidize them. But who can achieve fair subsidies? Even if the court does not make money and continues to distribute it, there will be many controversies."

"Xingzhi refers to first- and second-class prefectures?"

"I want to give it a try. It just so happened that the court was tired of the war and the labor service was heavy. Moreover, the labor service itself had many disadvantages. The ancestors' family law was kind-hearted and used this to balance the gap between the rich and the poor. But what about now? On the one hand, the third-class or above households who did not want to be labor service were working in the world with resentment. On the other hand, many people had to use the Xiang army to incorporate it and give them a way to survive. If the wealth obtained from the labor service law was used to recruit refugees and hungry people to carry out labor service on their behalf, what positive effect would it have? At this time, it was proposed that the first and second-class provincial governments implement exemption. It is the best time. I want to join hands with you to write a letter to advise this matter."

"Okay." Zhang Fangping was very excited. He was about to pick up his pen to write and let Zheng Lang stop him. He said, "Let's wait. You and I have to wait. Fu Bi will not bring back accurate information from the Khitans. The court will not be at ease. You and I will give advice at this time. It will be counterproductive."

Still Fu Bi.

Many later generations did not understand and believed that Fu Bi's trip was a loss of power and humiliation of the country. However, they did not know that many people were eagerly looking forward to the Song Dynasty at this time.

Zheng Lang is still observing another thing. Lu Yijian. Will he perform that ugly drama again?

...

Lu Yijian's old problem broke out again.

First, Song Xiang and Zheng Jian were brought to the place and handed over. This year, I found trouble for someone else.

Ren Bu.

This person’s experience and personality are very similar to Bao Zheng.

It seems that there is no talent. But the advantage lies in being honest and upright.

During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, a spring gushed out of the southeast of the capital, which was groundwater. It was a normal thing. The capital thought it was auspicious and auspicious. Ren Bu discussed it. The Ming Dynasty could not use gods and monsters to boast about ignorance. Therefore, it was against the prime minister's wishes and reduced the tax on Dengzhou. In Zizhou, he saw that the salt well produced low salt and was in charge. The master went bankrupt and reported to be eliminated. He was promoted to the Jianghuai Transportation Envoy. There were many powerful people who made the mountains and seas rare and bribed the power. Everything was abandoned.

There are no major achievements that can really be achieved. They are all these trivial matters. They are very clean and have no stains. They gradually gain the position with their qualifications.

He is usually taciturn, but it does not mean that he is honest and can be bullied. He has a stubborn personality. Otherwise, he would not have been a straight minister. As the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor, Ren Bu was not accused of Lu Yijian's style of monopolizing power. He sang against Lu Yijian many times.

But this person has few shortcomings and can hardly find any handle. Lu Yijian was so angry that he was overwhelmed by Ren Bu many times. He could only stare at him. However, the opportunity came soon. Ren Bu was not a big evil and honest. But there was a son of a crazy bastard Ren Xun. After hearing this, Lu Yijian thought of a solution. He was promoted to Ren Xun as an official. He was very prominent and kept entering the Zhijianyuan. This Zhijianyuan was a minister of the Taiwan Affairs Office. Who could enter the ordinary people? They were all people who could turn around in the Song Dynasty. How could it be Ren Xun's turn to enter?

I really went in. I really blew the clouds and it was a disgraceful black rain.

This kid is ignorant of the world. He thought he was very capable and would soon become the second Han Qi and Fu Bi. He asked Lu Yijian to pick him up and started to dislike his father. You are the deputy prime minister of the Western Palace. Why are you silent and dereliction of duty!

What should I do if I raise this bastard son? I had to continue to keep silent.

Yes! You said at home that you don’t listen. We are censors. You can impeach you.

Ren Bu was furious. Since ancient times, his son has never disliked his mother's ugly mother. He has no regard for his family's poverty. His son does not speak of his parents' misfortune. If he has a son who has nothing to do, he will use me to swipe him. So he detained some of the music. Ren Xun didn't know why I had no effect after impeachment. Lu Yijian stood up and said to him that it was you who suppressed him. He was a father and son at home and a minister of the emperor in the court. How could he suppress the impeachment of his ministers? He then called him again. The boy was furious. He was even more angry than his Ren Bu. He wrote a letter again.

The incident alarmed Zhao Zhen. Ren Bu apologized: "Your Majesty. Your Majesty has few heart problems. His head is a little abnormal. His words are contrary to each other. Therefore, he dare not announce it."

It makes sense. The Song Dynasty governed the world with filial piety. Although it was a minister of the same dynasty, it was a son. This set a precedent. How to promote filial piety? No matter what, someone said. Yu Zhou, the censor, took the opportunity to impeach Bu. Whether Ren Xun did the right thing. You, I, also have the responsibility of not educating your children.

Ren Bu had no choice but to leave.

Ren Xun also hoped that Lu Yijian would call him. I took you off the stage. What's the point of leaving you? Lu Yijian deducted Ren Xun a serious crime that destroyed human ethics and completely killed him.

But some people still have fantasies about Lu Yijian. Fu Bi.

Lu Yijian took away Song Xiang and Zheng Jian. Fu Bi did not have much good impression of these two people. He thought that their talent was mediocre. He was a so-called so-called. He thought it was a normal personnel transfer. He had no intention of being cautious. On the contrary, he valued Lu Yijian's support for Fan Zhongyan more.

Perhaps the evil spirit has changed. The leader of Xixia Qisha and others came to surrender. Fu Bi said, "When the two surrendered, their family has been destroyed by the Yuanhao clan. We should give a generous reward to persuade those who come."

Zhao Zhen sent his words to the Secretariat. However, all the prime ministers of the East Prefecture did not know about this.

It is also a manifestation of redundant policies.

Fu Bi reflected on the northwest. This was not possible. So he said: "Border affairs are related to national security. We should not be the special commission of Privy Councilor. Prime Minister Wei Renpu and Privy Councilor were also the Privy Councilor. At the beginning of the country, Fan Zhi and Wang Pu both said that the prime minister was also the Privy Councilor. Now that the army is on the rise, it is advisable to let the prime minister lead the charge."
