Chapter 64: Antiquity (Part 1)

It's finally dawn.

Zheng Lang in the capital was still talking loudly, but there was a mess outside.

In particular, the officials of the Three Yaya gathered together with the army, and the officials of the Secretariat and Kaifeng Prefecture forced the recruitment of civilian ships, causing great chaos.

But the top is effective, the top is kind, and the bottom is not sloppy. In fact, if there is no intrigue, the court is really good now. Whether Zheng Lang, Pang Ji, Wen Yanbo, or Wang Yaochen, they are all first-class talents.

He was the Hanlin Bachelor of the New Third Envoy Ye Qingchen, as well as Zhang Fangping, Zeng Gongliang and other Hanlin scholars, who were also first-class talents.

The speaker Gao Ruonai, He Tan and others also dared to make suggestions.

You must have talent and be able to speak to your ministers.

Looking at this team, it is like the luxurious Real Madrid football team in later generations, but how many talents will be used together are Zheng Lang's ability.

Many officials do not understand the use of kindness and power, but they are forced to do so spontaneously. On the one hand, they use Zheng Lang to kill without mercy and persuade them that life is at stake. If you conquer your ship, you should treat it as good. The merchants are dissatisfied, but the four words "life is at stake" warm all the people.

There is still a long talk in the palace.

"Your Majesty, do you remember something Cheng Shimeng did in Hedong the next year?" Zheng Lang asked.

This is another amazing official.

If Ouyang Xiu can score 60 to 65 points, and barely pass the qualification, then Xu Yuan and Cheng Shimeng can score 85 points. However, Xu Yuan is good at changing fortunes, Cheng Shimeng is biased towards water conservancy, and the two can score 95 points in this aspect. Ouyang Xiu left a Zuiweng Pavilion built by himself, but Cheng Shimeng did not, but the people of Hong, Fu, Guang, Yue and other states spontaneously built a temple for him! Zheng Lang is already good at governing, and after leaving office, he would only set up a temple immediately in Taipingzhou. Hangzhou and Enzhou were hesitant for a few months. Because there were too many people in Weizhou, they have not yet established it. It can be seen that his good governance is good!

But there was no one in the court, so he was so gloomy. Even later generations did not know that there was such a good official in the history of the Song Dynasty.

"Shi Meng Cheng, I know, what did he do in Hedong?" Zhao Zhen asked blankly.

This person is a son of an official, and was a Jinshi of the same year as Zheng Lang. Because of his talent, he was promoted quickly. He served as the magistrate of Nankang Army and the magistrate of Chuzhou for several years, and the magistrate of Kuizhou Road. The Rong people in Luzhou repeatedly invaded the border of Yuzhou. The magistrate of the prison was located in Wanzhou, which was far away from Yuzhou and had mountainous roads. Often the news could be reached one day later. Cheng Shimeng asked to move the capital to Yuzhou. Therefore, Yuzhou Nai'an.

This is the current situation. Luzhou Rong will invade in the future. It was not until the Song Dynasty used troops to Luzhou that peace was achieved. Kuizhou did not have Changping warehouses for storage of grain, so Cheng Shimeng suggested setting up Changping warehouses, which was of the nature of the state warehouse. It happened that the warehouse was not enough to provide relief to the victims, so Shimeng immediately dismissed the warehouses.

It was not within his powers. He did not report it. The officials in charge were very scared and opposed it. Cheng Shimeng said that if they could not open up after the report was approved, the hungry people would have died long ago. So the victims would have survived.

As a result, he encountered the best era of the feudal dynasty. Zhao Zhen heard that he was not only not surprised, but also admired him very much. He transferred him to Hedong Road as the prison envoy.

However, Zhao Zhen was not sure about Zheng Lang's argument about Cheng Shi Meng.

Zheng Lang said: "Shi Meng is in Hedong. Hedong has many mountains and many earthen mountains. These earthen mountains can plant mulberry and hemp fruit trees. However, when the rainy season comes, the water comes from the mountain and carries a lot of mud and sand, just like the Yellow River. People call it Tianhe."

All the ministers sighed.

If Zheng Lang doesn’t say it, it is difficult for anyone to have advanced ideas. He thinks about the deterioration of water and soil caused by greening destruction. However, if we mention it, these people are the top figures and can still understand. It is this billions of Tianhe that makes the Yellow River a river on the ground, and the disasters continue.

"Some of these Tianhe Rivers rushed into the tributaries of the Yellow River, and some settled in various valleys. Cheng Shimeng passed by Jiangzhou and saw this phenomenon. He persuaded the villagers of Nandong Village, Zhengping County to buy land and open canals, and irrigate Mabi Valley water, turning more than 500 hectares of barren land into fertile soil. The original yield per mu was only five to seven dou. After treatment, the yield per mu reached two to three pills."

One is a mass unit and the other is a capacity unit. The two are almost the same. If it is wheat, there is a little more sorghum, and there will be more rice. It is about the same.

Zhao Zhen said: "Get the archive quickly."

It’s not that he really doesn’t care about things, but he just doesn’t like to mess around and gives power to his ministers, so it seems that he is inaction.

But if you really do nothing, with the many disasters and difficulties of the Zhao Zhen Dynasty, how can you become the best time for the Song Dynasty?

Know everything.

The 57th Dou to 23rd Dou, almost three times higher. Zheng Lang said it simply, but Zhao Zhen also knew that it would not cost much money. But this was five hundred hectares, a Wanchunwei. At that time, how many people were waiting for it and how much manpower was used, it was only a little more than a thousand hectares.

I feel depressed, why didn’t I pay attention to this?

So maybe pay attention to it one by one?

The two years ago, Jia Changchao was in the court. With Jia Changchao's ability, how could he have the eyesight to see the meaning of this?

Zhao Zhen wanted to read the archives, so Zheng Lang simply drank tea.

Speaking of this, my throat is a little dry.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zheng Lang with some gratitude. At this time, he suddenly felt the feeling of Liu Bei meeting Zhuge Liang, Fu Jian meeting Wang Meng, Duke Huan of Qi met Guan Zhong, and King Wen of Zhou met Jiang Ziya. If other ministers were not present, he would have wanted to say: "I will be like a fish in water if I get you."

He said to another eunuch: "Prepare breakfast."

"Here."

The rain outside gradually stopped, but the sky was gloomy and the morning breeze was howling. Looking at the weather outside, Zhao Zhen's eyes were filled with worry again.

In terms of efficiency, there was no time in the history of the Song Dynasty that the two governments had such rapid disaster relief efficiency. The previous report arrived, and the subsequent disaster relief regulations were issued. But there was a time difference. The water level of the Yellow River was the peak of the past years, and the breach was so large that Zhao Zhen could not imagine how many people were drowned by the flood that night.

Save the archives.

Zhao Zhen looked through it and found that this happened, but it was possible that Cheng Shimeng had just made an inspiration, even he ignored the meaning of it, and did not want to boast about it, so he reported to the capital, and almost everyone neglected it together.

If Zheng Lang did not mention the Yellow River, Zhao Zhen would be negligent when he looked at it again. But when he mentioned it, he vaguely felt the significance, put down the memorial, looked at Zheng Lang and said, "Zheng Qing, continue to talk."

"Your Majesty, I have said before that the capital can be managed. This is the strategy. From Hedong to Jingji Road, and Hebei Road, there are many places that are barren land, and there are also many saline-alkali land. In addition to planting mulberry trees, if you plant crops, it is a place where you can't grow. The yield of planting is not high. Often, a mulberry land is less than one stone per year, and it is a pity not to plant it. In fact, the method of Cheng Shimeng is expanding, which is a strategy to manage the land and rivers. Dividing these lands out. Every few hundred hectares, each mountain mound is built with dikes. As long as the mountain mound is built with dikes, it is not necessarily a size or a labor force will not be used.

There are too many. When the river water is flooded, set up a dou gate to release water, or directly dig the dike to release water to relieve the flood and press the water level. When it reaches a level, there is no rapid flow, the blasting or closing the dou gate to allow the sun to evaporate the water vapor. The fertile silt of the river water will precipitate, and the saline-alkali land can also flush its saline-alkali content. The river water retreats, and use the dou gate or break the dike again to drain the water level. In the winter, all the water in the surrounding area evaporates, but all the silt accumulates, and the barren land will become fertile fields. One is to manage the river, and the other is to produce more fertile fields. This is my second temporary solution to control the river."

It won't have much effect, but it will have some relief effects.

But there is a side effect, and this side effect is even far more than the role of river management. That is to improve arable land.

Wang Anshi used this strategy to obtain 80,000 hectares of fertile land from the Bian River, and the Yellow River flowing north from Hebei, Hutuo River, Zhang River and Yu River obtained 40,000 hectares of fertile land, 120,000 hectares of fertile land, and 12 million mu of fertile land, which can increase more than 20 million stones of grain in a year!

Therefore, Shen Kuo said a very fair thing. In the deep Hebei Cangying, only the big river (flowing north of the Yellow River), Hutuo and Zhang River silt are beautiful fields, and the silt is not enough, and they are all repelled and cannot be used as art.

Especially Hebei Road North Road is the most obvious, because the terrain is low and the sea water often flows backwards, and it is mostly brine land and cannot be cultivated. However, once this method is used to improve the halide alkali, the brine alkali is reduced, and it is covered with thick silt, making it a beautiful field. The two are very amazing in comparison.

Opposition leader Su Che also had to admit that the profit of staying in wheat by the Yellow River was ten times higher than that of other fields.

The yield is three or four times, but the same area requires the same seeds, fertilizers, and labor, but the harvest is increased by ten times!

In fact, Wang Anshi's reform was really good in many aspects. It's a pity that the foundation of the Song Dynasty was too empty. Wang Anshi did it too quickly and focused on the direction for the country to make money for the country, which led to failure in many aspects, and failure, unable to realize his wish, but it triggered party struggles, which made Zheng Lang often think of it and sigh.

It's really easy to say it.

But why no one thought of it?

Zhao Zhen and several prime ministers looked at each other.

Wang Yaochen was glad that fortunately Zheng Lang fled back from the Khitan. With Zheng Lang's wonderful ideas, he was enough to serve as the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. The Khitans said that he was an enlarged version of Guan Zhong, but it was nothing more.

Zhao Zhen said: "Accurate."

He said again: "You write another detailed note."

It can't be accurate just like this, there are still many details.

"Here." Zheng Lang replied: "This is a case of the future action, the most urgent matter, or the case of the Yellow River breaking. The terrain of Chanzhou was originally higher than that of the sea, and the northward terrain of Hebei was getting lower and lower. The flood was moving northeast, and it was endless. Without waiting for the water to go down, even the dam could not be blocked."

Zhao Zhen was sad.

Now, it is impossible to talk about how to control it. I can only watch the Yellow River flow to Cangzhou or the Khitan. To manage it, I can only wait until after autumn, and at least it will take three or four months to see it flowing. How many fertile fields are flooded? How many people’s families are destroyed?

"Therefore, I thought it was the first time that the judge of the Ministry of Revenue was sent to Yan Duxing to visit the river in Chanzhou."

Quan Fadai is a new word. Yan Du was evil in slandering the gentleman. Wang Gongchen looked at the silence and proposed to let Yan Du Quan judge the Ministry of Revenue, but because of his high profile, he named Quan Fadai. Anyway, the officials in the Song Dynasty were becoming more and more redundant, and the titles of officials became more and more strange. This led to a very bad consequence. Now Zheng Lang’s power is unclear. In many aspects, he couldn’t figure out whether it was within the scope of his jurisdiction. There were also stupid officials who couldn’t figure out what his official position was for.

But after Zheng Lang said this, almost everyone stared at him together.

Zheng Lang and the gentlemen were not from the same line, but regarded themselves as gentlemen. Even before they got into evil with Xia Shu, they would get along very casually. On the contrary, the few friends they were in may not be gentlemen, but they were all loyal gentlemen. Because of their character, they were very disgusted with people like Yan Du.

Why recommend Yandu?

Zhao Zhen asked suspiciously: "What can Yan Du do?"

Is it like Cheng Shimeng, another talent he ignores?
