It is very arbitrary, just like Han Qi's saying that I am the way of heaven and I am the unity of man and nature.

In fact, Confucian scholarship does not require the ruler to stick to the family rules of the ancestors. What is obvious is that Confucianism emphasizes the Book of Changes. The Book of Changes evolves the way of heaven and the changes of heaven and earth through the sixty-four hexagrams. Each hexagram and line teaches people how to do it under what circumstances.

This is Zheng Lang's keeping pace with the times and inclusive adjustment.

Including Zheng Lang's way of employing people and the way of nations. Employing people cannot simply use scholars. What kind of scholars are some? What kind of scholars can a nerd who read books to the death? What country and the world will be governed by nations? The same is true for nations. There are already so many ethnic groups. They cannot simply say that they are not my race. Their hearts must be different and must be assimilated. This assimilation is the way to inclusiveness, which is to accommodate foreign races, not to exclude foreign races. Tolerance is not only tolerant, but also to integrate. Then adjust according to the changes in time and momentum.

According to Zheng Lang's employment policy, the court will pour into the imperial court with talented people and talents, at least give Zhang Yuan a chance to show his wrongdoing. There will be controversy, but there will be no party dispute. However, Fan Zhongyan and the other two did not make any noise. In their hearts, the scholars and officials are still superior, and the others are all worthless and dirty things.

Looking at their expressions, Zheng Lang said in his heart, let's change slowly.

Now is the best time in the Northern Song Dynasty. As long as the adjustment is done, the national treasury may save tens of millions of dollars a year. The soldiers can also be considered brave, with money and soldiers. If they are handled properly, they should not be so weak. As for internal governance, they can only be repaired and repaired. In terms of internal governance, none of other dynasties can match the Song Dynasty.

So he said self-deprecatingly: "The country is not a family. Its size is vast and broad, and every move is related to hundreds of millions of people. You will definitely be the pillars of our dynasty in the future. You need to work harder to govern the country like cooking small foods, and then think carefully before you can formulate a strategy. I need to consider another thing."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Fangping asked.

"How to come back from the Khitan!"

The three of them were speechless.

This is very troublesome. Can the Khitans easily release Zheng Lang back? Fan Zhongyan asked worriedly: "Is there any good solution?"

"What a good idea? You can only take one step at a time. It is best to lay peace in the northwest in one fell swoop. You guys are going back, and I can't stay here for a long time."

"I'm going back." Han Qi patted his head. This time he left for too long and he couldn't worry behind him.

"War is a continuation of politics and internal governance or is it the main thing. Even if our dynasty now occupy Weizhou and Lingzhou, can we occupy it? In the enemy's territory, the right time, place, and people are not good for us. Therefore, Xue Rengui was defeated by Sichuan. It was so difficult for the Tang Dynasty to conquer Goryeo. The people did not support it. But we governed the four routes of the border into clusters, the people were rich and lived and worked in peace. In contrast to the poverty in Xixia, would there be many enemy enemies yearning for it? Not only should we attack, but the enemy's people also raised their hands to welcome our army to attack. Then capturing one city and one city will definitely become the territory of our dynasty. Only then can the people of Xixia truly perish, otherwise there will be no result for rebellion and harmony for ten thousand years."

"This is extremely true," Fan Zhongyan said.

Zheng Lang suddenly thought of the Battle of Hequ, the little emperor of Khitan was beaten miserably by Yuan Hao, and couldn't help laughing.

"Xingzhi, why are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, let's leave together."

He handed over 60,000 troops to Di Qing, Wang Xin wanted to go back, Fan Zhongyan wanted to bring half of his troops back, and Han Qi also wanted to bring three or four thousand troops back, almost all his troops were out, and Han Qi was not worried about the safety of Qin Fenglu when he stayed here.

Zhang Gang also had to bring some people to Jiuyang Valley to build two villages and one fort.

The war ended, but the war quickly spread to the Khitan. So a few months later, a fun thing happened that made the Song Dynasty's monarch and ministers laugh and cry.

The weather is getting colder and colder, the sky is filled with yellow clouds and the wind is cold, and gradually the bleak smell of everything in winter.

Many soldiers set out one after another, and many people, not only soldiers, but also captured prisoners of war and people, were escorted to the rear. This time, they were placed a little far away. Except for the tribes that took the initiative to join the Song Dynasty, the rest were arranged to Sanbaiqu, and some were even moved to Lianghuai and Jingxi Road. Otherwise, too many unstable elements would be gathered in the rear, which may not be a good thing in the long run. As long as they are far away from Xixia, they can truly be content with themselves.

And horses.

The war horses captured from the defeated army and the horses seized from the Xixia territory were given 20,000 to Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, 5,000 to Pang Ji, and some other spoils were also divided into batches for the soldiers of the three groups. After all, some of the soldiers of the three groups were also sacrificed.

Ten thousand horses were given to the victims. As for the rewards from the soldiers, they were not horses, but livestock and cloth. The rest were transported to the rear to the people for farming land or pulling things. This also shows Zheng Lang's practical spirit.

We cannot raise horses like the Song Dynasty. If we waste money, we cannot raise good horses. We can raise good horses. We can only raise some areas on the border, such as Fuzhou, Huanqing and Jingyuan Road. The number of horses raised is limited. We also have to squeeze out arable land to grow grain, or sheep. We can raise cattle and sheep at most. The four roads and Qinfeng Road can raise at most 100,000 war horses in the Song Dynasty. This is the limit of raising horses in the Song Dynasty. Can horses raised in other places come in handy? The authentic Qinghai Farm from the shore of Qinghai Lake was placed in Hebei, Henan and could not run after three years.

What to do, go to cultivate the land!

There is a serious shortage of cattle, horses, and horses that carry goods in the country, mules, donkeys and camels.

This move not only overturned Wang Anshi's later horse protection law, but also overturned the current Song Dynasty's maintenance policy.

Not only horses, but also soldiers. The Song Dynasty could have an elite 100,000 knights, with a considerable number. It could even fight against the Xixia people, but it could not fight with the Khitans in the north. If you want to fight with the Khitans, you would get at least 200,000 cavalry. When you think of this, Zheng Lang always likes to look at a place, Hehuang! Whether it is Hehuang or Xixia, where can you get it, you can fully meet the needs of the horses of the Song Dynasty.

There are also many livestock, most of which give pensions to the people, including foreign soldiers who have made meritorious or sacrificed or sacrificed, as well as local people's families who have suffered. There are also soldiers from the mainland, who may have found another way.

Zhe Jimin walked over, turned over and dismounted, and said to Zheng Lang: "Mr. Zheng, I thanked you for your kind words on behalf of our Zhe family."

After the Battle of Fulin Road, Zhe Jimin received news from the outside world one after another, knowing how much justice Zheng Lang said for their Zhe family.

Zheng Lang said meaningfully: "Zhe Zhizhou, if you want the court not to regard your Zhe family as a foreign tribe, you must remember my words. The country of your Zhe family is the Song Dynasty, and the family of your Zhe family is not your Zhe family but the Song Dynasty."

"Our Zhe family is loyal to the court."

"General Zhe, think about my words again." Zheng Lang smiled slightly. He had a good impression of the Zhe family, so he reminded me. The Zhe family did a good job but didn't pay attention to some details. In fact, Zhao Zhen only regarded Fulin Road as half of the territory of the court. After making such a huge sacrifice, why bother insisting on some unnecessary things...

"I also want to thank General Zhe for helping me this time." After Zheng Lang said that, he slapped his horse and rushed south.

What exactly does it mean? I was stunned and stared at him or Wang Xin urged him to go on the road.

When Zheng Lang arrived at Zhenrong Village, he asked the blind felt to stop him.

It was explained to Zheng Lang that Wei Minghuan was about to escape, and Zhang Gang informed Xiao Ji Xinghe to intercept him, but the boy was cautious and let Wei Minghuan go, resulting in his casualty rate not as high as Yuan Hao's casualty rate, and he actually brought back more than 7,000 people. Zhang Gang was furious and sent someone to scold Xiao Ji fiercely.

At first, the battle reports from the north arrived one after another. Wu Jie was frightened and rushed to apologize. He knelt down and said in a pitiful tone: "Mr. Zheng, it's not that we don't stop the enemy. The enemy fled too quickly. We only stopped the troops behind them, and there was no time to stop them in front."

"Blind, do you think I am a person who is easily deceived?"

"Zheng Gong is the Kui Star in the sky, who dares to deceive Jiao Gong Zheng?"

"Then why are you lying to me?"

"I dare not."

"You get up and talk."

"If Mr. Zheng doesn't forgive me, I won't get up."

"What kind of morality!" Zheng Lang suddenly said angrily.

The blind felt so scared that he stood up.

Han Qi looked at this good baby funny, and he also had Zheng Lang's idea. Why bother? He was originally a son of a servant, but he didn't do this identity well and insisted on being a pug for the Song Dynasty or the Xixia people. As expected, the world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders.

Zheng Lang did not laugh and said, "That order was given by General Zhang. I never thought you would send troops to cooperate. Do you know why?"

"I have no idea."

"I don't believe how loyal you are to the Song Dynasty!"

"No, I am loyal to the Song Dynasty."

"Don't tell me lies, why do you say that? I understand you. If Yuanhao dispatched so many troops to attack your Kan Valley this time, how do you defend? You have this idea of ​​having the rat at both ends, I understand, and I understand. But you have not thought about anything? You can only repay him with peaches. You will keep on the rat at both ends until the Xixia people dispatched more than 100,000 troops to attack you. Will our dynasty be willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to send troops to rescue you?"

"I'm not saying it's an assumption. Yuan Hao attacked our dynasty several times, and he lost one after another, his morale was low, his tribes were alienated, and the people were resentful. He still needed a great victory to establish his authority. Will he choose our Song Dynasty and the Khitan? So who else would be his target? It's just that the Uighurs in the West, who got it too far and did not make much profit. There is another place, who is it?"

"Mr. Zheng, I was wrong." The blind me suddenly felt creepy and fell to the ground again.

"In the battle of Agan City, General Zhang and General Wang led their troops to fight bloody battles. This is not enough. I held a vow alliance meeting in Kangu, giving you golden arrows, and asking the court to give you the position of observing the envoy, so that you can always take charge of the righteousness and rights of the Orchid Association. You are too weak to report to our court."

"I, I..."

The reason why blind men are afraid is that this great victory. If there is no such great victory, if you want to win over him, you will have to pay him many benefits. Therefore, weak countries have no diplomacy. At the appropriate time, the country must be moderately strong and the barbarians of the French, Yi, and Zi, dare not neglect you.

These are not the key points. Zheng Lang said again: "Since you are here, I will talk to you about Shiyi."

"Shi Yi, will the court close the market?" The blind felt confused.

"I want to close it myself. I have changed my mind now. I won't close it, and continue, but some prices will be adjusted at once. Let me show you this list." Zheng Lang threw him a list.

"It's not appropriate." The blind felt grass took a look at the list, and was so anxious that he was about to cry... (To be continued in advance)
