"Brother Zhigui, can the family law of our ancestors change?"

"Xingzhi, why did you say this?"

"I just want to ask Brother Zhigui's answer."

"look."

"It's a good thing to read the word, but it can change but not."

"What's the solution?"

"The law cannot be changed, but the degree can be adjusted." Zheng Lang and Han Qi were having a conversation. After so many days, although Weizhou vaguely worried him, the war was moving in the direction he thought. The longer the time delayed, the easier it would be for the army to gather.

Xixia divided the troops again, and I don’t know how many troops were sent outside, but in this battle his own troops were at least 100,000. In the war, both sides would suffer heavy casualties, which is inevitable. However, after this battle, Yuan Hao would probably not have a good appetite for the territory of the Song Dynasty within five years.

In five years, can Yuanhao live for five years?

So Zheng Lang and Han Qi said this. Han Qi was also an important figure in the Qingli New Deal.

But who can understand that?

Han Qi asked: "Please tell me in detail."

"What's the law of the Han Dynasty?"

“Lose.”

"It is precisely because of the relaxation that when Emperor Gaozu of Han entered Xianyang, the three rules were established, which was the law of the Han Dynasty. The children of the Dabi family were vassal kings, and the defense of the court was a magistrate. Therefore, Emperor Jing of Han adjusted this degree and established a inheritance system of passing on his sons but not his brothers, so the Han Dynasty had a foundation for hundreds of years. However, later people did not adjust the powerful, eunuchs, and relatives in time, so the powerful were annexed, and the people were living in poverty, and the eunuchs and eunuchs took power, and the country was in chaos. Why did I always say that Empress Dowager Zhang Xian would not become Lu Zhi and Wu Zetian?"

"Why?" Han Qi was also curious about Zheng Lang's curse of the Eight Kings in the past, but he thought in his heart that Zheng Lang was a loyal act. He was grateful to Liu E, so he scolded the Eight Kings. This is also a beautiful thing. Being grateful for one's gratitude is what a gentleman does.

"Wu Zetian and Lu Zhi enfeoffed Zhuwu or Zhulu, and defended themselves, which would cause trouble in the world. Brother Zhigui, did Empress Dowager Zhang Xian enfeoff the Zhuliu?"

Even Liu Mei has just become an irrelevant official position.

Liu E did not only this. If Zhao Zhen had not been taught by Liu E, would Song Renzong appear in history?

This is not the point Zheng Lang said, and he continued: "What is the family law of our ancestors?"

"Treat good deeds to the people, value culture and dismiss military."

"Brother Zhigui. It's wrong. There are only three family rules for our ancestors and three on the Taizu Stele. You must not kill the descendants of the Chai family, nor kill the scholars or officials. Those who write to the letter to talk about the matter are not guilty and will not be allowed to add land taxes."

The first two items were done well. Many ministers liked to talk nonsense because of this item, and the emperor was no exception. They sat at home and worked behind closed doors. They wrote down bad things about the emperor after their imagination, and they had to write them down and handed them to the emperor to read. Even the so-called Western democratic system that came later was nothing more than that. In China's five thousand years of history, only the Song Dynasty was based on words and things. They didn't even think about other dynasties. They didn't do a good job of never adding land taxes. But they were good at paying attention to internal governance.

Zheng Lang also cherished this dynasty very much, it was really good. Not to mention the weak Song Dynasty. If it is a little reformed, China will have later China? Culture, art, technology, and economy are all the peaks of China's feudal dynasty. Especially the economy, the Northern Song Dynasty was ten times the income of the Ming Dynasty. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty entered modern times that China's population reached 400 million, and it gradually caught up. Putting aside military affairs, the Song Dynasty was creating a great miracle.

Zheng Lang continued: "The rest are all degrees."

Han Qi suddenly stretched out his big hand and grabbed Zheng Lang's hand: "Xingzhi. Let's write to the book."

Not bad!

Once this passage is concluded, the reform will become extremely relaxed. Any redundant officials, governments, and soldiers, and any temples and powerful people invade the fields can all be adjusted, and the reform will have normal reasons. This is what a scholar said, and Han Qi was excited.

"Don't be anxious, listen to what I said. Since ancient times, many people have implemented the policy of governing Huang and Lao inaction. Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, they have emphasized Confucianism and neglected Taoism, and still combined Taoism and Confucianism with the supplement of Legalism. Why should we pay attention to Taoism? Because of Taoism's policy of fooling the people. Therefore, the rule of sages is to weaken their hearts and strengthen their abdomen; to weaken their ambitions and strengthen their bones. Always make the people ignorant and have no desires. If the man dares not do anything, he will be cured."

"Absolutely abandoning knowledge, the people's benefits a hundred times."

"The people are more wise, and evil things arise."

"Those who do the Tao do not mean to make people clear, but to be fooled. The people are difficult to control, because they know. Therefore, knowing the country is a thief; not knowing the country is a virtue of the country."

"There are many remarks in Taoism, and I agree with it, but I dislike the policy of fooling the people the most. They believe that the people are not wise and are prone to ignorance, and can be silently endured by oppression by the rulers. This statement is too fallacy! People are all living things, and Liu Bang is a scoundrel, but he respects them as the lord of the world. Taizu of our dynasty was only a child of a small official, and when he was a young man, he was a small soldier, no different from ordinary people, but he owned the world. What kind of policy can deteriorate the intelligence of the people, and let them be chased by them like pigs and dogs? The foolish people are not fooling the people, but fooling themselves and oppressing the people becomes unscrupulous.

So Zhang Jiao and Chen Sheng emerged in a lot of people. Therefore, since our dynasty, we have attached great importance to people's livelihood and encouraged poor children to study. The same imperial examinations have been taken to preferentially prefer poor families, and the internal governance has far surpassed those of the previous dynasty. This is the law and reform. Using Taizu's last words is a policy extended from the never-added land tax. However, Taizu Taizong did a clever job, treating the poor people well, and also treating the powerful households well. Those who govern a great country are like cooking small fresh food. Brother Zhigui, our dynasty founded a country. If the weather turns from spring to summer, the weather turns warmer and all things grow, the autumn harvest will soon usher in the autumn harvest. But winter is coming, can we still wear the spring shirts of the founding country?"

"Yes." Han Qi was overjoyed.

"But for a long time, the monarchs and ministers of our dynasty have never grasped the misinterpreted family rules of the ancestors. There are many disadvantages and have formed an extremely powerful chain of interests. It is difficult to move. We must learn from Taizu and Taizong, take into account both interests, and do not be too ambitious and implement them one by one. We do not seek comprehensiveness, but only implement one by one. We will not encounter many benefits. Gradually, the country will be able to move towards a virtuous cycle invisibly."

To sum up, these are the four sentences of Zheng Lang's mean, which keeps pace with the times, tolerate and adjust, straightforward and warm, simple but not arrogant!

The current war is just a means.

The fundamental of a country's system is the real future of the country.

Now Zheng Lang talks about it more well. The process of governing the country is also a process of careful adjustment. For example, in later generations, black cats and white cats, catching mice is a good cat. It was broken suddenly by breaking the rigid system of big pot rice. It was good for the time, but the economy gradually improved, and adjustments must be carried out to prevent further differentiation of the rich and the poor. This process must be careful and not show any expression. Otherwise, the powerful chain of interests on the other end will soon be killed, and there will be people who will fall down. As a leader with conscience, you must change, not the slogans of the foolish people, but the change of the benefit recipients, but the change of the real change, and be careful to change. Then the country will get better and better...

The Song Dynasty was the same. The two were so similar...

But it is easy to say and difficult to do, but it is not that simple.

So Zheng Lang said: "Drink tea."

Han Qi was a little lost in his mind, holding the tea and pondering without saying anything, not drinking, just thinking about his thoughts.

Zheng Lang is also doing something difficult. He tried to reverse the ideas that Dr. Fan and Dr. Han had formed. It was so difficult, so difficult!

Suddenly, someone outside came in and reported: "The enemy has been moving."

"Let's see, Xingzhi." Han Qi said. The reform is kept for the future, and the war is the main thing now.

The two climbed to the top of the city and saw many soldiers rushing out of the Xixia camp, carrying siege equipment, holding weapons, bows and arrows, and some powerful crossbows. The Xixia people attached great importance to weapon research and development. They were originally a backward country, and gradually many weapons stood out.

Zheng Lang saw that Xixia was useless and could not think like this. The Xixia people established their country for hundreds of years, and there were some desirable things. The reason why Zheng Lang hated it was its hindrance to the Song Dynasty. If it were not forcing the Xixia people, the Song Dynasty might not have the shame of Jingkang. What would this country look like if it develops smoothly for another hundred years? As long as it can develop smoothly, it is possible that the true capitalism will be ushered in the Song Dynasty. It is precisely because of this Xixia that the entire Chinese nation gradually entered the dark era...

Seeing the enemy preparing to attack Dingchuan Village, the two of them were not worried.

It is good to attack Dingchuan Village, it is best to attack for ten days and ten nights like Weizhou, so the main army of Xixia will inevitably consume more than half of the Dingchuan Village.

Dingchuan Village is not Weizhou. It has more than 30,000 troops and thousands of people. It has consumed all the Xixia army to death, and the village may not be able to be broken.

But the scene is amazing.

Thousands of arrows were fired at once, and there were flying crossbow arrows everywhere in the sky, just like the rain of locusts during locust plague, almost making the sun shine.

Many people fell down one after another.

Wang Ji said: "Two observers, please go to the top of the city."

"The soldiers are fighting bloody battles. How can I and Han observers go down to avoid danger? The enemy invaded and defended the country. Everyone has the responsibility to start from us."

Let's lead and stand on the front line.

Han Qi was still a little worried, but after Zheng Lang said so, Han Qi was not going to go on.

The situation was very bad. The enemy's military strength was twice that of the troops in the village. They swarmed from the twelve floating bridges, and they would feel disgusted when they saw it. However, Zheng Lang's words greatly boosted morale, and many people shouted: "Everyone has the responsibility to defend the country."

Zheng Lang turned his head and said, "Send someone to lift Ge Huaimin up, don't forget, put on him a piece of armor."

"Here." The two soldiers went down.

The Xixia people had already arrived under the village wall. The city had prepared a large number of wooden rocks and dozens of stone throwers, but Zheng Lang had not used them. The two sides continued to shoot at each other, and some soldiers had already climbed to the top of the city and started fighting on the top of the city.

Ge Huaimin was lifted up.

Zheng Lang said: "General Ge, let's see how our army's morale is?"

Ge Huaimin glanced at him and said, "Morning is high."

"If I don't prepare water sources here in advance, and a lot of supplies, what will happen if there is water and food in the village at this time?"

"Did you deliberately use me as bait?"

"After being imprisoned for so many days, Ji finally figured it out. Yes, I deliberately used Ji as bait, but have you ever wondered why I could have Ji as bait a year ago? I issued an order to prevent the three armies of Ji in Wating Village. At that time, the enemy attacked Pengyang City, and the outside world thought that Brother Zhigui and I were in Pengyang City. The soldiers of the three armies persuaded Ji to rescue him, but Ji did not go to rescue him. But he chose to come to Dingchuan Village. Why is this?"

"The plan to surround Wei and save Zhao." Ge Huaimin couldn't say that I was afraid of death, so I avoid the strong and the weak.

"Who surrounded who?"

“…”

"If you don't have enough talent, don't be a hero. It will not only harm the country, but also harm tens of thousands of soldiers. You also harm yourself. Have you never read Zhao Kuo's deeds?"

"I……"

"General Ge, since he came to Jingyuan Road, he has always had a great opinion on me. Do I have any grudges with you? Is there any hatred? It's not that I don't need to, but that my talents are not enough! From today on, I will release you, observe and learn some real skills, and show off less." Zheng Lang said.

He did not dare to release Ge Huaimin more than ten days ago, but at this time, all the soldiers were won over by Zheng Lang. There was no need to detain General Ge again to reduce the verbal verbal talk.

The fierce battle continues.

There were more and more Xixia soldiers rushing under the city wall.

It seemed that Dingchuan Village was shaking, but Zheng Lang was still calm and staring outside.

He said that Han Qi's personality became rough after passing the northwest, and he himself was almost the same. He had been through the battlefield for a long time and had a strong courage.

The heavy siege troops from Xixia arrived.

It was not as good as the Song Dynasty's car crashing into the city. But not far from the flat river outside the village was a mountain monument, with many trees cut down, sharpened one end of the giant trees, and placed them on the car. He hit the wall of the village. Zheng Lang then ordered all the weapons to be used together to defend the city.

Rolling wood stones, a large number of gunpowder packs, and boiling oil, were fired out in a daze.

After several battles, the Xixia people also had defensive measures against the gunpowder bag. After all, it was thrown by the stone thrower and the speed was slow. Looking at its running trajectory, it opened in advance. Raise the shield to resist the ejected caltrops and nails.

There is still a lethality, but it is further declining.

Zheng Lang sighed and thought of the tubular weapon. No matter what, if there were real artillery, the power would be several times that of a catapult. The shells would be fired at a speed of hundreds of meters in a second. Who would react so quickly? Will he avoid them in advance?

But not only the gunpowder pack, but also other weapons, countless crossbows, as well as rolling oil, rolling wood and stones, and even golden soup, that is, collecting the urine and defecation in the village, putting it in a bucket, and pouring it down. This is also very lethal. Who is not afraid of this? It smells so bad! Besides, after being trapped for so long, how many such treasures are piled up in the village. It will not kill people, but it will distract the enemy. This is only enough. As long as it is distracted, there are crossbows on the side that can kill.

One attack lasted for two hours.
To be continued...
