"Adapt to local conditions?" Zhao Zhen was a little confused.

It is not a new statement. Zheng Lang mentioned it many times in the local area, such as Taipingzhou, adapting to local conditions, developing ports, Hangzhou adapting to local conditions, developing safety supervision, and Weizhou adapting to local conditions, and making market changes. But what does it have to do with the Yellow River?

Zheng Lang did not talk about the Yellow River, but said something else.

Xu Xu said: "The land also has its strengths and weaknesses. If you abandon its weaknesses and improve its strengths, the whole country will be able to better manage."

"What's the long and the short?" Zhao Zhen asked. Suddenly an eunuch came and whispered a few words in his ear. Zhao Zhen said, "Go to the capital to discuss matters."

All relevant officials in the capital were awakened together, and several people from the Western Prefecture also came to the Privy Council. Zhao Zhen simply summoned the two prefectures to the capital to discuss this strategy for river management. It was too hard, so if this continued, there was no need to recover the Western Xia. Every few years, the Yellow River would be tossed, and there would be a big drought from time to time, and even the country's best family would be covered by God.

Come to the capital hall.

The candidates for the Western Prefecture are now Wang Yiyong, Song Xiang, and Wang Yaochen.

Fu Bi still refused the imperial edict. I did not punish the court for preferential treatment. How could he dare to enter the two prefectures? I guess he had passed the Qingli New Policy, and after the troubles of Jia Changchao and Xia Qian, he felt a little scared. Or he did not want to label Zheng Lang for the time being, so as not to be attacked by some people to become a new party, harm himself, and Zheng Lang, so he refused.

Zheng Lang was not in a hurry, and Fu Bi immediately performed outstandingly in the local area. He summoned him to the two palaces and was even more natural. However, he wrote a letter to Wang Yaochen, saying that the Western Palace needed civil officials who were proficient in military affairs, and Wang Yaochen even more. In the letter, he patiently persuaded him and finally made Wang Yaochen take over the love.

So the Western Palace was Wang Yiyong, Song Xiang and Wang Yaochen. Wang Yiyong was a so-called man. Song Xiang didn't know much about military affairs, but Wang Yaochen was just a little hard. However, if you don't fight, you can barely maintain it. If Fu Bi enters the Western Palace again, the talents of the two governments will be gathered together.

They would sit down one after another, and Zhao Zhen handed the Chanzhou Express and what the minor official had just recorded to the three prime ministers of the Western Prefecture for them to read.

After they finished reading, Zhao Zhen said again: "Zheng Qing. Keep talking."

"Here. First of all, the boundary of the capital is a plain area. The terrain is empty and flat, with developed water and land transportation, which is conducive to commerce and handicrafts. Most of the time, the climate is cool and the water and grass are abundant. It is also beneficial to livestock properties and planting mulberry and hemp fruit trees. Therefore, many pastoral supervisors in the imperial court are mostly distributed in the capital area. Fruit trees mulberry and hemp planting are common and commercially developed. However, the unfavorable land convenience is that there are many soil layers and poor soil quality. It is mostly made up of fine sand alluvial from the Yellow River, which is not conducive to grain planting. There are, but the yield is very low."

"Geology?" Zhao Zhen suddenly thought of Zheng Langge's noun in physics and asked.

"Yes. Your Majesty."

Several big guys whispered together.

It is said that saline-alkali land is not conducive to crop planting, but many places in the capital do not have saline-alkali land, but the yield has always been low. This is the reason.

"Say," Zhao Zhen became interested.

If Zheng Lang is right, use this to guide him, all walks of life will avoid many detours.

"There are the most natural conditions of Jingdong Road, which is the best, with salt-producing iron wire stone, water and land transportation, and fertile land. It is an important grain base in the north. The slightly worse is the eastern part of the Shandong Peninsula, with soil quality second. However, there are fisheries, commerce, salt, fruit tree, and minerals, and Xuzhou's smelting industry is unparalleled. When I was in Taipingzhou, I bewitched local merchants and hired Xuzhou craftsmen to come to Taipingzhou to drive the development of smelting technology in Taipingzhou."

Everyone smiled knowingly.

That was Zheng Lang's first cry. But even if he was young, he was still shocked the world.

However, his face quickly became heavier, which made the Yellow River pressurized.

"In the tenth year of Tiansheng, the Xinji River was built again. Your Majesty summoned me to irrigate the Liangshan Pond, forming a fish and rice town in Liangshan Pond." When it comes to Liangshan Pond, Zheng Lang always felt strange. The actual Liangshan Pond was very different from the Water Margin. He continued: "At the same time, there are also developed pen making and wine making industries, which are also important tax areas of the imperial court. The development here is the most perfect, and the imperial court only needs to do repairs. The west of the capital has been replaced for five years since the end of the Tang Dynasty. The wars were endless, and the land was sparsely populated. It was overdeveloped by the Tang Dynasty and the land was poor.

Therefore, among the Jingji Road, Jingxi Road is the most poor. But as long as the governance is properly, the west is mountainous and the east is watery, and the natural situation is good, and there is countless room for improvement. Overall, the south is not as good as the north and the west is not as good as the east, but each has its own characteristics. The south is suitable for planting high-yield rice, with developed fisheries, fruit and wood in the west, and the east is the best, which is conducive to agricultural planting, and coal and porcelain industries. It is close to the capital and is also conducive to commercial development. The main reason is that the population is sparse and the development is backward, which is far inferior to Jingdong Road."

"Hebei Road is not as deep as the south, low-lying in the north, and mountainous in the northwest, but it has not been restored since the Anshi Rebellion. Especially in the southeast, I have seen many swamp wastelands in Enzhou, which is very close to the capital. If it is properly cultivated, at least more than 20% of the new water conservancy fields on this road can be expanded."

Zheng Lang talked freely, and the hall was silent. Speaking of this, even the eunuchs heard that what Zheng Lang said was too important, and it even affected the future direction of the country.

"Hedong Road has a high and cold climate, with many mountains and few water, which is not conducive to economic development and agricultural planting. Among the northern roads, Hedong Road is the most advantageous in terms of geographical advantages. However, it is beneficial to salt and iron, and produces coal, wine, ink, green alum, and copper smelting is the best in the world. It also has the fertile mulberry and hemp. If you want to develop, you can only start with the latter. Shaanxi Road is far better than Jingxi and Hedong. Since ancient times, Guanzhong has been the most developed region in China. There is also the construction of Sanbai Canal. Although it is often trapped in droughts in recent years due to constant disasters in recent years, it is still one of the most developed places in our dynasty. Even if it is developed properly, it is still one of the most developed places in our dynasty.

The land is fertile and can restore the grand occasion of Longyou in the Tang Dynasty. In the Secretariat, I saw a report in the Secretariat that the local high-yield land yields reached five stones per mu. I guess it is unlikely that this yield is because the local land is larger than the actual area of ​​the Central Plains. However, if it is cultivated carefully, I have also made measurements on Jingyuan Road. The output of two seasons is 3 stones, which is not difficult. This is far better than the output of other parts of the Central Plains. Not only Qin and Wei, but also the Xihuanghelan and other places in Tubo, the land is still very fertile. The worse is the north, and there are also benefits of animal husbandry. Helplessly, I am just trapped by the force of Xixia." Zheng Lang sighed.

Even Shaanxi in the Song Dynasty was not the Loess Plateau later. Many areas were still good, but with military focus, most officials ignored development, which led to other places in Shaanxi except for the Guanzhong area.

"Huainan Road and Liangzhe Road are the most economically developed regions in our dynasty and the most important grain production area. Relatively speaking, Huainan Road is the most perfectly developed. However, some problems have occurred in Liangzhe Road. East Zhejiang is not as good as western Zhejiang. West Zhejiang has the benefits of Taihu and Zhejiang. However, the unreasonable circle lakes of large households have lost their irrigation functions and floods are frequent. East Zhejiang is mountainous, but the benefits of sea fish. It can also develop celadon and bamboo paper. The southeast of the Yangtze River is mountainous and the northwest is watery, which is not as good as Liangzhe and Liangzhe. However, there are high-yield polder fields. The tyrants who are worried that will be annexed, and the poor management of the government will cause damage to the polder fields. Also, it will damage the lake too much. It affects the water storage function and will cause the Yangtze River to break the dike. Jiangnan West Road is mountainous, but the central land resources are superior. It has rich resources and developed transportation. Although the natural conditions are not as good as Liangzhe, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is better than Jiangnan East, but it is better than Jiangnan East.

The road is the fastest economic development of our dynasty. Among the four roads of Sichuan and Shu, Chengdu Road is the best. The wealthy area in ancient times, and the second is Lizhou Road. However, only Xingyuan Prefecture and Yangzhou are slightly better. Other areas are not rich in resources. Zizhou Road has many mountainous fields. There are less irrigation water and even more backward. Kuizhou Road is the worst. Not only are the mountains and valleys, but also the harm of barbarians. The Liangjing Road is also the same. There are many miasma mountainous areas, and the north road is not as good as the south road, but not so? Your Majesty, please think about Fujian Road. If you talk about the evil of the natural environment, these five roads are not as bad as the Fujian Road. However, the people of Fujian Road are diligent, spontaneously snatching fields from mountains and seas, prosper fruit trees and fishing, and develop commerce. Although there are many mountains and inconvenient transportation, it has become the most crowded place in our dynasty. Why is it because the people of Fujian Road are open and there are no barbarians to restrain them, and the government can be implemented."

Although Fujian Road was developing rapidly, this was related to the internal governance policy opened by the Song Dynasty, no matter how good the policy could be implemented, where can it be implemented in Kuizhou Road or Meishanman?

The officials were so angry that they didn't dare to say anything, and they even implemented the court's policies, without thinking about it. This is the fundamental reason for the backwardness of several ways.

"Tongguang and Guangxi are also similar to the previous few roads. Except for Guangzhou, other areas are sparsely populated and mostly controlled by barbarians. However, the water resources are developed and the climate is hot, so you can harvest three times a year, but..." Zheng Lang shook his head. The upward space in Lingnan is the greatest, but the Song Dynasty's introverted policies and the development of Lingnan has become a distant dream, let alone overseas.

Zheng Lang said these are just an introduction, laying the groundwork for the following.

But all of them stared at him.

Some people elaborate on the situation across the country in detail. For example, Sima Qian wrote in detail about the situation and production in various places of the Han Dynasty at that time in "Records of the Grand Historian".

But unlike Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang is speaking in a hurry, but it is more targeted. He only talks about the length and development space of each path, which is equivalent to formulating the most important national policy for the country.

Furthermore, Zheng Lang said these words and put forward an important proposition. Different regions treat differently, not one treats good deeds and the other treats evilly, but uses different methods to govern according to different situations in different regions. This was the first time in the history of the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Lang continued: "Your Majesty, my good friends, so the governance should be governed according to different situations. For example, most areas of Hedong Road cannot encourage reclamation. The grain harvest is small, but the water and soil are damaged, and the benefits are not high. However, it can encourage the development of fruit forestry and mulberry and hemp. Fruit trees and timber, mulberry and hemp will not be lower than grain returns. Even if it is low, the land is wide and the population is sparse, it can be made up for it. Shaanxi is the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and there are several important tributaries of the Yellow River and the important source of silt and sand, so it is not allowed to be planted in large quantities, mainly to protect the environment, forests, and governance and development are supplemented. There are also some small plains of river valleys on Hedong Road, most of Jingxi Road, and southern Hebei Road. The Jingshi area can also be developed, but the soil can be improved first before it can be developed."

"Improve the soil?" Zhao Zhen asked in confusion.

"It's Your Majesty, improving the soil is part of it, and it is also the second strategy for managing the Yellow River."

"Continue," Zhao Zhen did not ask again.

"Jingdong Road and Lianghuai Road have matured, which can only be repaired and repaired. For example, expanding the irrigation in the Liangshanbo area of ​​Jingdong Road, developing canals and diversion water in some water-scarce dry lands on Huainan Road, expanding the cultivation area, and the development of Jiangdong and Liangzhe Rivers must be moderate, and moderate lakes must be left to store water. The development of Jiangxi and Fujian is also relatively mature, but many areas lack road traffic and underdeveloped traffic. Roads can be built, and rural and commercial enterprises can be promoted. This is the short-term goal of the court. There are longer-term goals..." Zheng Lang said nothing again, Changsha is the four major ones.

Mi City and Hubei will not be bad, but due to the hindrance of various mountain barbarians, this problem cannot be solved. Unless the development of these two routes is only developed in the east of the two routes. Lizhou is mainly still in transportation, which is a bit difficult to deal with unless the yellow gunpowder technology is mature and can truly dig mountains and ridges, Lizhou can be freed from the semi-closed environment. Kuizi Road is even more difficult to deal with, and Lingnan also has a headache. Because the latter three routes are far away from the capital, or because there are many mountains and the weather is hot, even if there is no force from the barbarians, it is difficult to catch up with other routes in a short time.

He continued: "This is the situation of each organization. If we subdivided it, each prefecture has the situation of each prefecture, and each county has the situation of each county, so we cannot generalize it. Then we will develop the farmland water conservancy law."

"Farmland Water Conservancy Law?"

"Yes, the imperial court has developed to this day, and there are serious redundant officials. Anyway, there are many officials who are not bad and there are no shortage of officials."

"..." Zhao Zhen was speechless.

"They have a job and salary. It is better to simply select some officials who are proficient in water conservancy and set up a regular department from them, and then set up a training department in various ways to be responsible for water conservancy development. Encourage officials who know how to be water conservancy and the people to participate. Dredging rivers is conducive to irrigation, drought prevention and drainage, reclaim wasteland, and increase grain production."

Chen Zhizhong finally spoke: "Where does money and labor come from?"

"The labor force is to use the victims and hungry people, the second is to transfer the civilians, use land instead of wages, and the third is to use the army. The state has used 60% to 70% of the income to support a huge army. However, there are not many wars, and many soldiers are abandoning their martial arts, almost at the point where they cannot lift their hands and shoulders cannot pick them up."

"Will there be a mutiny?" Song Xiang asked hesitantly.

"The way to govern the country and to use people can be used in four words, and both kindness and power are used. The court has been gentle with the imperial guards since ancient times, but Brother Bo Qian. Why did many soldiers mutiny occur in the past few years? It is not because of insufficient kindness, but because of lack of power. The flying general Li Guang held his own courage, was relaxed in the army, and used military pleasure. However, there were both victories and defeats in the enemy's formation. Cheng Buzhi and Zhou Yafu both took the reputation of strict governance of the army, but they did not lose all their defeats in their lifetime. This is a good lesson for the past. Is the court treating the king poor?"

Some of the imperial guards and generals were almost raised by the court and were about to grow wings and fly to heaven.

This is a living example. In recent years, the mutiny of soldiers has nothing to do with the court's carelessness, but these soldiers are ungrateful and want to do whatever they want.

A few people couldn't speak.

Zheng Lang also said: "Money and silk are easy to solve. First, labor-for-relief. In recent years, labor-for-relief has been used to build many water conservancy and roads. It is just small in scale and not well organized. However, the court has accumulated a lot of experience. As long as officials specially organize it, some larger water conservancy projects can be built. There is no need to worry about this part of labor and money. Anyway, it is also a relief, and the funds will not be too much. The funds can be compensated based on the benefits, and the land can be used as a levy, or persuading them.

Instruct wealthy families to contribute funds to do good deeds for the countryside, and even publish their deeds in newspapers, promote good and eliminate evil, or build temples and monuments in the countryside to reduce the greed of wealthy families and powerful people, and use famous metaphors to reduce the greed of wealthy families and powerful people. The court can also allocate funds, or lend money to local beneficiaries at low interest rates. The ministers have done similar things in Taipingzhou. Then reward the meritorious officials and the people, so that they can provide more good ideas and brainstorm. This method can be implemented without disturbing the world."

The fact is this is the enhanced version of Wang Anshi's farmland water conservancy law.

The difference is that regionality is proposed. Some areas protect the environment and do not farm and log indiscriminately. This concept is relatively advanced.

More flexible.

Wang Anshi had many reforms that could be learned from, but Zheng Lang didn't know what consequences would be caused. After thinking about it, only the farmland water conservation law had fewer disadvantages and many more advantages. In history, Wang Anshi implemented the Farmland Water Conservancy Law for six or seven years, benefiting the court's 36 million mu of arable land. The impact in the future was even more profound. It can be said that by the time of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, the number of registered households in the Ministry of Revenue reached more than 20 million, which could support more than 150 million people. Farmland water conservancy was indispensable.

Pang Ji looked at Zheng Lang with a complicated look.

Regardless of wisdom, virtue, or talent, it is possible that this son was a rare wise minister in the Song Dynasty.

Can you surpass this son?

At this time, he became suspicious of himself.

Moreover, he vaguely felt the completely different between Zheng Lang and Fan Zhongyan. Although Fan Zhongyan was good, he had more pedantic spirit and scholarly spirit, and took it for granted. But Zheng Lang was different. The spirit of pragmatism and caution had been engraved into his bones.

"It's a good idea," Zhao Zhen said while slapped the table.

Fan Louyan Zheng Lang had told Fu Bi and the five others about the farmland water conservancy law, but it was not detailed and there was no such claim as regional governance. It was not until today that Zheng Lang officially threw out this new law.

It involves many interests, but it is just a distribution of interests, and will not hurt the original interests of the big and powerful, and it is easy to implement. Moreover, the country has been very hard in recent years, not only lacking money, but also lacking food. There is constant drought and flood. Once implemented, it will effectively block the impact of small-scale disasters.

After saying that, he smiled again.

Zheng Lang was the biggest confidant in his heart. He repeatedly mentioned Zheng Lang, which was related to his resistance to public opinion. Today, he saw Zheng Lang's wisdom mature, and finally shone with dazzling light on that night. This thought, the sadness brought by the breaking of the Yellow River was reduced, and his heart was filled with joy, and he was full of expectations and confidence for the future. He suddenly asked again: "But I still didn't understand, what is the connection with the governance of the Yellow River?"

“Yes, it’s very relevant!”
