Chapter four hundred and sixty-nine waves on the river (2)
Zheng Lang also said: "The Han Dynasty married the Xiongnu and even married his relatives from a distance from Princess Nangong. The Xiongnu was still not satisfied. Therefore, Emperor Wu of Han worked hard to make a strong end, and the Xiongnu went to decline. However, because the Han Dynasty was deposed by the military, the country was in a serious crisis. The Turks continued to harass the Tang border, and the Turks were finally destroyed during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, but the Tang Dynasty was deposed by the military, which led to the Anshi Rebellion. However, your country and our dynasty were creating a history, and the two countries became brotherly countries, and they were fortunate to the country and the people."
This is a fool to Yelu Gao’s slaves.
There was a saying in the Song and Liao dynasties that Emperor Jing of Han married Emperor Wu of Han's second sister to the Huns. This incident is also recorded in "Cefu Yuangui". In fact, it is not true. Princess Nangong first married Zhang Zhu, the Marquis of Nangong, and then married Zhushen, which shows that Princess Nangong has been in China, so where did she get married to the Huns?
Zheng Lang also knew that, first, he warned the Khitan not to be more arrogant, and second, he also paved the way for the future mission to the Khitan.
At least, the Khitan monarch and ministers had to think that they were very good. They wanted peace between the two countries and were Song ministers who were full of friendship with the Khitan.
The Gao family slave stood up and bowed down, saying, "Mr. Zheng has a profound vision."
Then dance, drink with all your fun, and return to the inn drunkenness.
The next day, Zheng Lang went to the Secretariat, and the eyes of several big shots looked at him were a little strange.
Zhao Zhen understood, so he asked Zheng Lang to call him into the inner palace and asked, "Zheng Qing, can you come up with a good idea to get out of the Khitan?"
Why did the Khitan envoys respect Zheng Lang? They regarded Zheng Lang as the future Han Derang. If Zheng Lang did not surrender to the Khitan and was not used by the Khitan, what would these envoys respect?
"It's still early, I'm thinking slowly, but I made some preparations yesterday," Zheng Lang said the story. He is a minister. It's not a good idea to meet the enemy's envoys privately, so we have to report the story and reduce taboos.
"The Khitan really doesn't want the Western Xia to grow stronger?"
"Your Majesty, I definitely don't want to. At least they don't want to admit that Xixia has developed to the point."
"That's what Fan Zhongyan said..."
"You can't say it's wrong, make plans for everything."
"No, well, I regret even more. They asked me for my princess."
"Your Majesty. You must not. The Lord is humiliating my memory. In the previous Han and Tang dynasties, only the Tang dynasties, most of them married their relatives, because they had half of the Hu people's bloodlines, and the Han and Hu family were not ashamed of it. How can our dynasty be able to do this? Moreover, Your Majesty has few children and is far away from a foreign country. How can I be grateful to me?"
Zhao Zhen paced back and forth, and did not take any risk to Zheng Lang for this matter. The more the Khitans were like this, the more worried Zhao Zhen was. Suddenly, he said to the eunuch: "Come Princess Fukang."
Zheng Lang was sweating a little.
Since the little princess told him the name, Zheng Lang felt a little scared. Now it’s small and doesn’t matter, but time passes very quickly. Year by year, Zhao Zhen is soft, and anything in the palace will be spread to the market immediately. If any rumors come out, you can’t even wash it even if you jump into the Yellow River. Don’t say that you will fight for the little princess’ marriage, it’s too late to avoid suspicion!
The little princess brought it, and Zhao Zhen said, "Hare to Zheng Qing."
Zhao Niannu asked in a daze: "Father, what kind of rituals did you do?"
I am a princess and the other party is a minister, and I have never learned any rituals.
"Please do the teacher's ritual."
"Here, Mr. Zheng, do you want to teach me to write again? (The princess and queens of the Song Dynasty called me more when they saw that their ministers called me. For the sake of reading, they changed it to me. My name has appeared in the Song Dynasty. If I use it less, I am mostly me. I, you are you, right?)?"
"Let you salute, don't be too long-winded."
"Your Majesty, the princess is young, don't scare her. Besides, I am also your highness's guardian knight." Zheng Lang said to Zhao Niannu, who was about to flatten her mouth.
"Oh, Zheng Qing, you should accept her worship."
This is Zhao Zhen's personality charm, so after his death, the crying spread throughout the Song Dynasty. Not only were all the Song Dynasty people crying, but even the Khitans were crying. Not only were they crying at that time, but the entire Song Dynasty people also missed them for hundreds of years. In Chinese history, only Zhao Zhen did this situation.
This situation also affected the harem. Zhang Meimei loved her in the 3,000 harems and suddenly fell ill. She said to Zhao Zhen: "I am poor but favored her, so I am sick because I am willing to demote her to a beauty, so I can avoid the punishment of heaven."
So Xiuyuan was regarded as a beauty.
Therefore, Zheng Lang is not disgusted with this beautiful girl.
Zheng Lang reluctantly received a bow from Princess Fukang and said, "Your Majesty, Han Qi will go to Shaanxi to appease and preside over the layoffs. I am worried about the drought in Shaanxi this year. I have been forced to move many people from Xixia, as well as a large number of prisoners of war, scattered in Guanzhong to Jingwei. These people have always had ulterior motives about our dynasty, and some of their families are still in Xixia. Yuanhao is also good at using counter-espionage strategies. If he takes the opportunity to incite, it may become a disaster."
It is right to arrest the people. There are few people in Xixia, and the whole people are soldiers. Capturing two families is equivalent to reducing one soldier in disguise. Zheng Lang originally concentrated them in order to lure the enemy. Later, he gradually broke up these people and prisoners of war and placed them everywhere. Even if there is a drought, it doesn't matter, but there are still bad things at the critical moment. Zhang Hai and Guo Miaoshan held a large-scale uprising in Shaanxi and Jingxi, for fear that these people would take the opportunity to cause trouble.
"This is to be prevented."
"I want to report some more things."
"Say it."
"Meishan Man has always harmed the southwest. With their leadership, the southern barbarians have been difficult to control. This is only one of them. The soil and soil in the north will deteriorate, and disasters will be more frequent in the future. If you want to solve the food crisis, you must start from the south. Now the southeast has developed from Jiangdong to the Taihu Lake Basin, and it has become an important granary. However, the population is increasing. If the weather is good in the past ten or twenty years, the country will be prepared and the food will be basically even. But if it continues for a long time, new crises will still occur in grain. If you want to solve it, you cannot start from the north. If the water conservancy in the north is Daxing, there is room for expansion, but the more it expands, the more serious the water and soil damage will be."
This concept is nearly a thousand years ahead.
But Zheng Lang repeatedly lost, which played some role. Zhao Zhen said hesitantly: "What are your good strategies?"
"There is still a way. To the south, if the Xiangjiang River Basin is developed, it will become another new rice warehouse in our dynasty. Secondly, if the Xijiang River (Pearl River) is developed, the cultivated land area is wider, but it is a pity that it is far away, and the capital is difficult to achieve. Developing the Xiangjiang River requires solving the Meishan Barbarians, and it may not be necessary to start immediately. But the court needs to prepare early and send some inquiries to inquire about the customs, humanities, terrain and tribal distribution of the Meishan Barbarians, so that they can plan in the future." In fact, with the current navigation technology of the Song Dynasty, it is not promoted by the safety supervision. It is enough to spread colonies overseas. However, there are many difficulties, and they are not interested in overseas monarchs and ministers, and the people are not willing to stay away from their hometowns. There is another thing that Zheng Lang has never figured out. In later generations, a certain Poe was mostly orthodox Han people. Why did they seduce Mei Dad to the South China Sea more severely than other countries to hinder China's development? This reason was not understood. He was also not very interested in the colonies.
"What's not big to solve..." Zhao Zhen said hesitantly.
The nationalists praised the Meishan Man and the Manchus again and again, which was wrong. They sent people to appease the Meishan Man and the Song Dynasty one after another, but they did not listen at all, and it was not good to suppress them. The mountains were large and forests were thick. The Song Dynasty had no choice but to divide half of the large area of Zhejiang Province into a forbidden Meishan, just pretending that it did not exist. Seeing the Song Dynasty, the Meishan Man was brave enough to send people down the mountain to loot, or kill and set fire, and did everything wrong. In the Secretariat alone, Zheng Lang saw dozens of memorials about the bad incidents of the Meishan Man.
Then I thought of some of the words of the bricks later. I wish I could wear them back and use bricks to kill the authors who wrote Meishanman on Du Niang.
"Don't worry, send some spies first. Don't use much money and silk, and prepare for yourself." Zheng Lang said slowly. The east side of the Meishan Man is close to Tanzhou, which is Changsha. If you don't solve the Meishan Man, don't think about developing Changsha into one of the four rice markets.
"Accurate." Zhao Zhen said. The three spies in the north made Zhao Zhen realize the importance of scouts.
"I report another matter. Your Majesty can set up a small port in Banqiao, Mizhou, and send merchants to Japan and Goryeo to ask them to cut down wood and trade with our country. Otherwise, our country will produce a large amount of pine and fir in a year. There are also many houses and furniture construction every year, which requires a lot of wood to aggravate the destruction of soil and soil in the north."
Banqiao Port in Mizhou is located in Jiaozhou Bay in later generations. It is useless here. Although it is convenient for rivers to be placed at the entrance of Jishui and the Yellow River, it is close to the Khitan, so the ministers in the court will be worried. There is also many silted mud and sand accumulated along the Bohai Sea, and ships are prone to stranding. As a port, it is not convenient to be a port. It is still the case when it was Song Zhezong. Fan E wrote a letter to Chen Mizhou Port. Ming and Hangzhou Port is only the two rivers and Zhejiang Roads. Banqiao radiates to several roads in the northwest. There are many famous brands such as silk cotton and silk in the north, which are more attractive than the south. Banqiao is close to the capital and is convenient to come and go, and there is no risk of indulging in the Jianghuai Canal. Therefore, once a port is set up, more overseas things will accumulate in the treasury than Ming and Hangzhou.
It is exaggerated to say that although it is close to the capital, there is no good river and canal. It requires land transportation from a large distance. In comparison, although the shipwreck of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River and the Grand Canal is less dangerous, the freight is slightly higher. Hangzhou has the Grand Canal, and the radial area is not only the two Zhejiangs, but also the cities along the Yangtze River, as well as the Grand Canal area, and Zhejiang, which are all the most economically developed areas in the Song Dynasty. No matter how you compare, Mizhou's throughput will not exceed Hangzhou.
But it is indeed a good harbor.
Zhao Zhen hesitated and said, "It's too close to the Khitan."
"It's okay. You can follow the example of Hebei's Fiery, set up fences at the market, send soldiers to patrol, and distinguish people from entering and leaving. Moreover, there is a lack of ink pine in the country, and ink is expensive, and scholars cannot afford ink. This is also a century-old plan." Zheng Lang said slowly.
It is not a problem of ink, but an issue of environmental protection. Once you use wood barter on a large scale, you will have a high understanding of the environment and be closer to Jiaozhou Bay. If the ocean currents are smooth and the wood will be discharged to the port in two or three days, then these two obscene countries will only last two or three hundred years, and the coastal area will become a bald mountain. What does this have to do with Zheng Lang? Do you really need a kind-hearted god and go abroad?
"That's true," Zhao Zhen finally agreed. In his mind, scholars' use of ink is the top priority, and they don't understand the environment.
"These are several maps, which can be handed over to Wang Zhaoming. Most of the Japanese people showed their covetousness to the two overseas mines. Once the whole country conquered, the two mines would not be lost. Let Wang Zhaoming gradually distribute these mine maps to alleviate the greed of the Japanese. In addition, although the overseas is thick, they have been away from their hometown for many years, and the court also sent troops and horses to rotate as appropriate." A gold and silver mine map was given, and they were gradually handed over to various Japanese powerful people. If there were mines everywhere, the Japanese would turn their attention within decades. After decades of crazy mining, even if there were gold and silver in the two mines, they would become ruins. Although this move made the Japanese get some gold and silver, it might not be a good thing. Now, mining is a pure waste, especially the accompanying mines, which cannot be refined at all. Even if some gold and silver are obtained and trade expands, it will eventually be circulated to the Song Dynasty.
What was the Song Dynasty most lacking at this time? Currency. It was the Ping An Supervision Bureau. Without forty or fifty years, currency could not be satisfied. However, if you want to open a bank in the future, you must have enough money as a fund, otherwise the bank would just be empty talk. With banks, the economy will operate in a healthy manner. With the developed business of the Song Dynasty, business and economy will reach an unprecedented peak.
Without saying much, Zhao Zhen may not be able to understand it even if he said it.
After looking at the map, Zhao Zhen said, "Zheng Qing, you can write down your study of matters."
This is simply amazing.
"I will write that the country's crisis is serious during this period, so I will deal with it step by step. The empresses at home are not in good health. After surviving this difficulty, I want to go back to Zhengzhou to rest for a while, take care of the empresses, to fulfill filial piety, and to modify the doctrine of the mean, write benevolence and righteousness, and teach some knowledge of studying matters to reserve talents for the country in the future."
"No need to go back to Zhengzhou..." Zhao Zhen was speechless and said in a daze: "You can leave the affairs of the Secretariat to others, including Fan Qing, Jia Qing, or Zhang Qing..."
"In his position, we have to plan our affairs. As the deputy prime minister of the East Prefecture, I will focus on the work of the East Prefecture and devote myself to writing books. I will make a very bad start. It's not too late."
The four points mentioned by Zheng Lang may be important, may not be important, and they will not be hindered. Then the monarch and ministers continued to stare at the Khitan. The Khitan specially notified the Song Dynasty to send envoys. The Song Dynasty could not use this reason to send envoys to the Khitan, and it was too weak. So he first sent the clerk of the living edict Sun Qi as the birthday envoy of the Khitan mother, and the deputy envoy of Luoyuan Feng Xingji as the birthday envoy of the salt and iron. Zhang Zhang Ying was the birthday envoy of the Khitan mother, and the west end was the deputy of the official Ding Yi. The censor Yu Tongxue was the chief envoy of the Khitan mother, and the deputy of the Hemen Tongshi She was the deputy of the secretary Li Weixian. Li Yue, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, was the chief envoy of the Khitan mother, and Zhao Mu was the deputy of the east end. Because Emperor Jing of Liao Yelu Xian had the name of wise, he changed Li Weixian to Li Baochen to avoid taboos.
The latter is not important, but the former makes Zheng Lang shake his head. As for the need to send so many envoys?
Ouyang Xiu wrote another letter saying that Zhongshu was incompetent. Zheng Lang smiled bitterly and could not scold me. If you want to scold me, you have the courage to scold Yan Shu and Zhang by name.
There is no need to scold me, the big incident happened again.
Guo Miaoshan was in Shaanxi, and Zhang Hai broke out in Dengzhou. Gaoyou's ugly drama was staged again. Zhang Hai had only a few dozen people when he was in Dengzhou, but the local inspectors did not dare to move forward. It was pretty good, but even uglier was behind.
Unlike Wang Lun, this uprising was more organized. Several rebels in Shaanxi, Dengzhou and Yingzhou quickly joined forces. Compared with Wang Lun, they had a clear goal. Wherever the rebels went, they opened warehouses and released grain, so the rebels and army quickly grew.
After receiving the report from the residence, because of the concealment of the officials below, the big men in the capital did not know that Zhang Hai was the leader of more than 20 Dengzhou thieves in Ouyang Xiu's memorial. He thought he was a rioter in Shaanxi. Zheng Lang said helplessly: "No, Zhang Hai is the leader of Dengzhou thieves."
Even if you suppress the thief, you must find out the target.
Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon throne and said in a daze: "What's wrong?"
