Zhao Zhen was heartbroken and sent Cao Yuanjie, Zhang Hong, and Li Sui, the third squad, to take charge of the imprisonment.

In fact, Zheng Lang said part of the reason, not only the army and the disaster, but also the officials. At first, Zhang Hai's uprising power was not very strong, and Dengzhou Tongzong asked the governor Liu Zhi to issue an order to arrest them, but Liu Zhi refused to listen. Later, with the large army, the military pay was gradually weakened under financial pressure, and the generals deducted it, some soldiers also joined the rebellion ranks and joined Guo Miaoshan and several other thieves, so the momentum became bigger and the tail was too big.

There are reasons for the disaster, reasons for the greed of soldiers and generals, and reasons for the incompetence of officials.

The court also issued an edict, asking the governments of various states to open warehouses and release grain as appropriate. Some governments have corruption, but there is no grain in the warehouse, and some do not have grain, so they can be released wherever they go. Xu Yuan transported a large amount of grain, but the capital was the country's important land, so they could only tighten the capital first, and then Shaanxi and Shandong again. The immediate rescue was not so fast, so the food transported could only be placed wherever they were anxious. Some of the grain was transported to Sanmenxia, ​​but it had not been sent to Shaanxi yet.

Zheng Lang didn't say much.

Cao Yuanjie's career was not successful. It was not until then that Zheng Lang completely explained the reasons. Although it was a bad thing, it was also a good thing, so that Zhao Zhen could have a clear understanding and expand the disarmament from Shaanxi to the whole country.

When I returned home, I saw Madam Fan sitting in the living room chatting with Cui Xian and Jiang Xing'er.

Seeing Zheng Lang coming back, he stood up with a smile, gave a blessing gift, and said, "I have met my husband."

Zheng Lang pinched his nose.

There are only two daughters in the family, and several concubines have been nagging. Cui Xian is also irritable and says she doesn't have children, so she has two daughters. I'm afraid it's really her own women who have something wrong. Zheng Lang advised her that the Zheng family has been living alone. It's not that they have something wrong. It's their own genetic problem. But Cui Xian didn't listen and advised Zheng Lang to take a concubine. It was also a good thing with the Fan family, but Zheng Lang didn't want to take a concubine. Why? One wife and three concubines in the family are enough, why bother to be Wei Xiaobao?

So I said, when the country is in trouble, there are peasant uprisings everywhere, or the army is in full swing, drought is inflamed, and disasters are everywhere. In this case, how can it be more conventional?

If you study it carefully, it doesn’t matter.

But now the gentleman party is in charge of the government, and Ouyang Xiu and other ministers all use microscopes to look at people. The magnification of the magnifying glass is not enough, and Cui Xian was afraid, so she told the Fan family that the Fan family was wonderful, and she said it, "Let's talk about it when the grain is good."

Zheng Lang was speechless.

In fact, the Fan family is very clear about the intention. This marriage is not important, what is important is oneself. With oneself, the Fan family has a backer and may not ask for it. But with oneself as a shield in front of it, others will think about it when they make the Fan family’s idea.

The matter of taking a concubine was delayed again.

Cui Xian said: "Miss Fan is coming because she is begging the officials."

"What's up?"

"The day after tomorrow, her brother got married. The Fan family wants to invite you to the banquet. I wonder if the officials think it is convenient?"

"This..." Zheng Lang hesitated a little. If he really took Miss Fan as his concubine, he would have to go there. He didn't want to continue taking a concubine. As soon as he went there, he would push the relationship deeper and deeper. He suddenly said, "Okay, I will go there at that time. Xian'er, you can prepare a gift for me."

The sudden change of mind was because of a person. The Fan family married this new wife and was the niece of Yang Ting, the governor of Yuezhou. Yang Ting was Yang Chongxun's great-grandson, and Yang Chongxun was Yang Ye's younger brother, that is, Yang Ting was the nephew of Yang Wenguang. But Yang Wenguang was the son of Yang Liulang, so Yang Ting was one generation later and older than Yang Wenguang. His great-grandfather was also a brave general, but it was Yang Ting's turn to change to martial arts and follow the civil service to become a Jinshi and a second-rate official.

This relationship alone is not worthy of Zheng Lang's attention. The Yang family is a legend. In reality, neither the Yang family nor the Zhe family are as high as their own reputation. What they value later.

Guiyang Man.

From Hengzhou to Guiyang, then to Binzhou, Lianzhou, Hezhou and Shaozhou, are the Jiuji Mountains and their remaining veins in the Nanling Mountains, which lasted for more than a thousand miles. There were some barbarians living in it, also known as Shenghuo, who were worse than Meishan Barbarians. However, the court had always had a headache with them and did not dare to impose any taxes on them. Instead, they gave some Nongbaijin during the New Year and the Festival.

Originally, I wanted to be fine, but the witch stick Huang hunted ghosts and his brothers were all accustomed to barbarian methods and often had sex. The imperial court was not interested in platinum, and the barbarians believed the witchcraft of Huang hunted ghosts. However, they were poor, and Huang hunted ghosts could not cheat much money. I happened to see the officials' weakness and conspire to the barbarians, stealing hundreds of barbarians, stealing private salt. If they give in, they can't sit in their worries about the salt administration, so the official's house captured them. Huang hunted ghosts and further bewitched to the group to resist with greater force. So Ouyang Xiu and others first said 400 Guyans in Guiyang, and two months later, they said 700 people, which expanded step by step.

As there were more people, they were even more evil. They were openly killed by the government army, and large-scale officers and soldiers came to fight for the expedition and suppression, hid in the mountains, retreated, and went down the mountain to do evil again. This is the truth about the Song Dynasty's "suppression" and "exploitation" of ethnic minorities.

Chen Zhifang, the governor of Hengzhou, was so angry that if he was forced to do so, it would be better if he was forced to do so. After all, the imperial court had to charge three dou and three liters of food. In fact, this is not heavy. This is a digit, not a digit, one digit or two liters of each household, and three liters of three liters of food. No matter how many people in the future are, it is only 40 kilograms of later generations, which means that one household pays about 100 yuan for RMB, and the fewer people only pay a few dozen yuan for taxes. (After writing this, Lao Wu was speechless. Are all these experts not Han people? Why do you have to practice yourself?)

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin waved the Dadu River with a golden axe. I don’t want it anymore. It’s really difficult to manage it. If they are given to their ancestors, they will inevitably peel the flesh of the Han people in the Central Plains and drink the blood of the Han people in the Central Plains. If they are taxed and taxed to support the officers and soldiers, they will inevitably be dissatisfied and rebelled. Even if they are offered to their ancestors, they may not work.

Zheng Lang also expressed a headache about this problem. Even if the force is strong and they are convinced, it will only be temporary and will change in the future. But no, how much territory will the Song Dynasty draw out in this way?

Chen Zhiman faced this problem and couldn't figure it out. He probably might not be able to figure it out even if his brother Chen Zhizhong came over. What to do, he had to hunt and kill. The design lured Huang Chugui and others out of the mountain and set up troops to surround him and killed him. However, there were too many people involved, so he would not accept it. He would inevitably cause chaos, so he had to forcefully take advantage of the situation to move these mountain people to other places. This relocation and killing caused even greater trouble. In the past, they were all living ancestors of Song Dynasty officials, and this time they treated them as prisoners, and the mountain people were not happy. Chen Zhifang killed only a few people, and the rest continued in the mountains. The Shengman launched the so-called uprising under the leadership of Tang He and Pan Zhiliang, and combined 5,000 people to kill Li Yanfei, and Tanzhou all hindered Zhang Keming, and many officers and soldiers to openly rebel.

The court was furious and sent Yang Qi to suppress him. Yang Qi showed great courage. However, he lacked the military talent of the Yang family generals, fought bravely, and fought without hesitation and woe with his soldiers. However, this battle lasted for more than six years, forcing the court to finally adopt the method of differentiation and disintegration of the Yang family to suppress him.

Yang Ting’s personal fate has nothing to do with him. The key is how much money will the country waste in these six years?

It cannot be said that Yang Ting is not good. After a while, Yang Ting will be sent to Fan's house to make a blister and get involved in some relatives. At that time, there will be a legitimate reason to intervene, otherwise it will be too weird.

When we came to the Fan family, the rich people were completely different. There was a large house with interlaced houses and three or four beautiful and elegant gardens, which were extremely beautiful.

Zheng Lang didn't care about this, so he just wanted to visit the Humble Administrator's Garden again.

Many guests came, but everyone regarded Zheng Lang as a guest of honor. There was no way. Zheng Lang was the prime minister and his status was very different. In fact, this relative of the Fan family was also a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but he still couldn't raise his head in front of Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang said: "You don't have to be restricted. All the visitors are guests. Today, the family is the longest. Please rank high and low according to your age."

I had a few conversations with Yang Ting's brother-in-law, the host and guest of today, and the father-in-law of Fan Xiaomazi's brother. Then when the newlyweds greet each other, a young couple came. The man was tall and burly and the woman was beautiful and charming.

He came over and bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Zheng in Zhang Yanghe, a Jiamin of Dengzhou."

“No need to be polite.”

"Zheng Gong, Dengzhou thieves are rampant. I heard that the court will send Jiao Gong Zheng to suppress him soon. Is there any such incident?"

Zheng Lang was confused and said, "The court sent Ban Zhi Cao Wujie to wipe out it. It has nothing to do with me. Who did you hear?"

"I heard the rumors in the capital that said."

"Nothing happens."

"The court should send Mr. Zheng to the court. Wang Lun was rampant for thousands of miles. Mr. Zheng went there for only one hour before he defeated him..."

"That's different. Wang Lun's bandits travel thousands of miles and are already dull. Besides, they went to rich areas along the river such as Gaoyou and others and lost their fighting spirit, so I defeated them in one fell swoop. However, Shaanxi and Dengzhou have a great influence, and they opened warehouses and grain everywhere to buy people's hearts. Their goals are much bigger than those of Wang Lun. But don't worry, the thief is a thief after all. Today's wise men, the people will not be willing to be thieves. At most, the thief will be suppressed by the court in three or two months, and you can resume business operations normally."

"I was worried that the thieves would run into the mountains. Where the thieves were in Shaanxi, Deng, Jun, Fang, Shang and other prefectures, there were many mountains. The imperial court sent troops to suppress them, so he hiked into the mountains. As soon as the imperial court's troops disappeared, they came out again, rising and falling, and more than a dozen states would be destroyed by the thieves one after another from the west of Beijing to Shaanxi. At that time, then..."

"Don't worry, unless the court loses the people's hearts and cooperates with the people, without the people's cooperation, even if they enter Kunlun Mountain, they will eventually be wiped out."

"Mr. Zheng, I bring some news about thieves. I wonder if Mr. Zheng can listen?"

"Tell me."

"Can you allow Yu Yu's little boy to invite Mr. Zheng to talk to the Bianhe Painting Boat after the wedding?"

Zheng Lang hesitated for a moment.

The young woman smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng, the official means that she is afraid that she will be leaked by outsiders. After all, our little one is still in Dengzhou, so she is also afraid..."

"Okay," said Zheng Lang.

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng."

After the banquet, Zheng Lang brought two guards and the Zhang couple to a pleasure boat on the Bian River. Zheng Lang waved his hand and asked the singing and dancing girls to retreat and said, "Zhang Dalang, if you have any news, just tell me."

"It's like this...Mr. Zheng, how sure do you think the court is to wipe out the thieves?"

"Since ancient times, the first thing that thieves can do is Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Zhang Jiao and others. Qin was killed by thieves, Han was killed by thieves, Sui was also killed by thieves, and Tang was also killed by thieves. The country was corrupt, kings were incompetent, and people were living in poverty, so thieves were everywhere, so officers and soldiers could not be exterminated. But today, although the people have been heavily consolidated in recent years, they were also consolidated for the Northwest Battle. The northwest battle was defeated, and the country was unable to protect them. They were also fighting for the people. This year's severe drought, it was God.

Punishment is not the Lord’s inaction. The emperor loves the people as his son. Although the national treasury is empty, he still raises food from Jiangnan and other places and transports it to the disaster area. There are some disadvantages in the army and is gradually reforming. Do you think the thieves will succeed? Wealth and honor are in danger, but in this way, we can’t get anything, and we can only lose our lives. Although the country is in trouble, it is like throwing a stone on the river surface. If the stone sinks, the river surface will return to peace.”

The couple looked at each other in surprise.

Zheng Lang suddenly said in a deep voice: "Zhang Hai, don't be confused."
