The sun was low and it was approaching evening. Zheng Su walked into the cabin carefully and shouted in Zheng Lang's ear: "Mr. Zheng, we are here."

The faster he grew up, the more complimented Zheng Lang. Not only did he know that his wealth was tied to Zheng Lang, but he also saw Zheng Lang's wisdom. Zheng Su and Zheng Xia were usually dissatisfied with each other, but Zheng Lang snorted, and the two of them dared not speak.

"Where did you go?" Zheng Lang got up and slept soundly after getting on the boat. He had been having a good time these days. The dense woods made him uncomfortable. The camping place was also heavy and the descendants fell down when they arrived on the boat.

Seeing Zheng Lang coming to the bow of the boat, all the soldiers stood up straight. Not only did they admire Zheng Lang's wisdom, but they also admire Zheng Lang's courage. There are many rumors among the people that this husband was on the front line in the battles of the northwest and never took a step back in the rain of arrows and crossbows. Most of them believed that after all, they dared to go deep into the Khitan alone, but they couldn't figure out why they were the prime minister and the emperor's confidant minister. After this battle, they understood. Zheng Lang did not kill the enemy, but he stood behind him, and he was full of courage.

Tian Yu and Zhou Heng also came out.

Zhou Heng said, "Mr. Zheng, I suddenly understood."

"Ji Zhen, what do you understand?"

"Zheng Gong Zheng said before, during and after the war."

"Speak and listen."

"Before the war, then plan, be flexible and flexible during the war, have good command, and expand interests after the war."

Zheng Lang laughed loudly, almost bent over. The Song Dynasty was good, and he could talk about interests openly. If it was not possible in the Tang Dynasty, or in the Ming Dynasty, it would be impossible. What kind of benefits are the people, and he dared to compete with the people for profit. In fact, it was bullshit! Zhou Han dared to say it directly when he saw others.

"No?"

"The one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one

I felt very relieved. Although there were many local official degenerations in the Song Dynasty, there were many good officials. People who later generations often remembered, such as Ouyang Xiu, only wrote good articles. The real good officials did not come from these articles. Speaking of official degeneration, China has been deteriorating from ancient times to the present. Later, as long as it was established forty or fifty years, that dynasty and that generation would have deteriorated in the officialdom. This is a Chinese characteristic. We cannot ridicule the Song Dynasty. Compared with other dynasties, we should carefully analyze the officialdom of the Zhao Zhen Dynasty. It is considered a leader in China for five thousand miles.

"Is it true?" Zhou Heng's battle inspired a lot and was about to write an article. After the war, he asked again without confidence.

"That's right, the basic direction is that we cannot depose the military. Although Emperor Wu of Han defeated the Huns, it is of great significance, but he has committed the problem of devoting the military. At the right time, we have to fight. Otherwise, what should the country do to raise so many soldiers? But every time we launch a war, we must consider its significance. The Guangdong-Guangdong War is only an auxiliary, clearing obstacles, and the main thing is to govern. When you came, I inquired about your deeds. In the past, the officials were both good, so I sincerely hoped that a hero and three helpers would let us give Guangdong-Guangdong a better tomorrow." Zheng Lang stretched out his hand and slapped Zhou Han and Tian Yu.

The latter sentence made Tian Zhou and others excited.

In fact, Zheng Lang had the intention of Zaipai in his mind.

Guangdong and Guangxi are too large, not Taipingzhou or Hangzhou. If you want it to improve, it will take at least five years, just improvement. If you want to prosper, it will take at least ten years. Don’t say five years in Guangdong and Guangxi, it may not take two or three years. You can only plan a blueprint, and successors are particularly important. See if you can hold Guangdong and Guangxi into the hands of these two people after you leave.

The boat slowly leaned on the shore.

Zheng Lang got off the ship, Yuan Tao, the transfer envoy from Guangnan East Road, and raised the prison of the criminal Bao Ke and Xunzhou officials who had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing many prisoners of war being pushed and off the ship, they were stunned.

The imperial court has also obtained similar war examples in the past, but how many soldiers were used? How long did it take? How many soldiers were used in this battle, only 900 people, how long did this battle take? It took less than seven days, and almost half of the time spent on the road. The battle was still in the core area of ​​Shengman.

It is undoubtedly a miracle.

But thinking about Zheng Lang’s previous resume, it’s not surprising. Compared with Yuan Hao, these people are nothing.

After a few remarks, Zheng Lang turned around and said to the barbarian representatives: "You have been tired these days and can go back and rest. By the way, he told your chief that you will continue to have a meeting tomorrow."

"Here." More than two hundred people dispersed carefully.

The battle yesterday afternoon has become their nightmare. When they were taking a nap on the boat just now, they were awakened by the nightmare. Some people asked the Song soldiers on the boat how many foreign cavalry were like this. The answer made them even more scared. They replied that there were at least 50,000 foreign cavalry. As for combat effectiveness, these imperial guards were only considered medium among the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, while there were 600,000 imperial guards of the Song Dynasty. It is true that there were 50,000 foreign cavalry, but how many of them had the combat power of this hundred foreign cavalry? The combat power was considered medium, but in this southern jungle, how many imperial guards could adapt. This was Zheng Lang's explanation, or for a little, after the war.

Like Zheng Lang's memorial, the following words did not say them, which caused these barbarians to have serious misunderstandings and frightened them all.

If you find your own master, you must report these situations and not offend the prime minister. It is too cruel. If the prime minister feels bad, there will be a disaster of extermination at any time.

Zheng Lang didn't care what these people said when they went back.

He started to give orders and set up camp outside the city.

Xunzhou City is not large in size and does not have so many prison cells to guard prisoners. Zheng Lang himself does not like to disturb the people, so he did not enter the city.

Liu Yimo and Jiang Qiuse also asked the doctor to come over to treat the wounded soldiers, prepare coffins for the sacrificed soldiers, and be buried grandly tomorrow. In addition, the prisoners of war were distinguished. The barbarians were barbarians, the Hans were Hans, and the familiar barbarians were familiar barbarians. There were many people involved this time, so they had to be interrogated quickly. Bao Ke was here and could be used as the judge. Shengman had to interrogate the situation of their tribe, and the mature barbarians also had to ask whether their tribe had participated in it to treat differently. The Han people were more important. They were just a knife, and only a few were extremely vicious people. Most of them were forced to stand by life and were a pitiful and hateful group. The knife could kill people, but the real killing was the hand holding the knife. Through them, they could dig out the hand. Digging along the thread, the rotten meat of the Bazhou could be removed by the roots.

After dinner, Zheng Lang called Yuan Tao and Tian Yu, and Zhou Qing to the big tent.

Several thick oil lamps were lit in the big tent.

There is a table in the middle, and a map is placed on the table, which is a map of Guangnan East Road.

The map is very large, marked with all the prefectures, counties, important roads, and important mountains, rivers and rivers on Guangnan East Road, and they are drawn in detail. In fact, Zheng Lang does not like this map and is not standard. His memory, as well as the maps obtained from the prefectures and counties on Guangnan East Road, were compared and then processed. But now there is no standard word for making the map, and the maps he drew were also not standard.

Zheng Lang said: "The problem of Zizhong, Ji Zhen, Yuanyun Envoy and Xunqian Taoism has been solved."

The three of them nodded.

There is no real solution, and there are many follow-up matters, but the main ones are solved. One by one, and the people behind the scenes can be found out. These people have families and careers, or are they big business, and they can't escape even if they want to escape, unless they escape to Shengman residential area and lose their family business. They go to Shengman residential area to take their families as slaves?

As long as these people are captured, the remaining powerful landlords and great masters will not have the idea of ​​the salt administration in Qianzhou for so long, and will not have the idea of ​​the salt administration in the future.

The problem of Shengman is not big. In the long five ridges, from the southern end of Dawuyi Mountain to the 90,000 mountains and Fenghuang Mountain on Guangnan West Road, Shengman can reach hundreds of thousands of people. The number of people seems to be quite large, but compared with such a large area, the number is not large. This is also determined by the lifestyle of slash-and-burn farming. If a tribe wants to survive, it must have a large territory. The north-south dividing line between Guangdong and Guangxi Road, Jiangnan West Road, and Jinghu South Road can have hundreds of thousands of Shengman. But to narrow down to Xunqian Road, there are only a dozen tribes of all sizes, less than 10,000 people, and only two or three thousand strong people. With some tough women, three or four thousand people are enough. However, in this battle, more than a thousand brave Shengman heroes were killed or captured. It was almost a devastating blow to these Shengman Road, and they could not recover in less than ten years. Or the Shengman tribes who did not participate, why should they provoke them?

The specific situation is not known yet, so I have to wait for Bao Ke’s confession.

Zheng Lang said again: "Let's talk about the development of the two countries and the broad masses."

This is the main thing. The three of them nodded again.

"If you want a bright future in Guangdong and Guangxi, you must solve miasma, barbarians, roads and water conservancy. Before I came, I was very concerned about miasma. Some areas may have miasma, while others are exaggerated because the people are backward. For example, the rumored New South Wales is a ** field. Yingzhou is a small court, and people in the states of Gaozhou and other peninsula should not be close to each other. Guangnan West Road is more serious, and there are killing lands, big and small courts everywhere. But have you noticed that these civilians are rare, and the fewer people are the more likely to become a judicial field. Miasma is prevalent."

Yuan Tao opened his mouth, Zheng Lang stopped him, shook his head and said, "For example, Duanzhou, the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Yuanzhong, was demoted here as a county magistrate. Bao Zheng has made great achievements here, and he has never heard of them suffering from malaria. However, in the rumors, Duanzhou is also one of the judicial fields. Why? The rumors make the people afraid, and there are fewer and fewer people living in it. There are more and more rotten objects in river valleys, woods, and swamp areas, rotten bodies, and rampant poisons, which add to the legend. Therefore, it is a vicious cycle. In fact, as long as there are people who are active and good officials to manage, all malaria can become a paradise on earth. I have never been worried about malaria, but what I worry about is malaria."

This is the real fatal thing. Unless you go to South America to find the cinchona tree, get it, and use its bark to treat malaria. The best thing is artemisinin. Artemisinin is everywhere, but how to extract artemisinin from Artemisinin, Zheng Lang was stunned. With the current technical conditions, even if the study of matter is promoted, it will not be able to make this thing in less than two hundred years and three hundred years. Even steam engines and guns cannons are made, so he is now becoming more and more interested in the continent over the ocean.

Even the latter was also beyond reach, Zheng Lang quickly skipped over and said, "Then the barbarians. I held two meetings in Guizhou and launched this battle again, which was to deal with the barbarians. I am already working on solving this problem. The other is roads and water conservancy. If you want to develop, the people will be the people, and you cannot develop without the people. Therefore, let's start with Guangnan East Road."

Yuan Tao and Tian Yu nodded.

Zhou Wen was a little unhappy, but there was no way. The conditions in Guangdong and Guangdong were indeed better than those in Guangnan West Road. As long as the prime minister was promoted properly, the skills of this prime minister would be effective soon. The conditions in Guangnan West Road were too poor. Even if a saint came, it would not be well managed for a long time.

Zheng Lang continued: "The road is first of all, the post road. The main post road in the court started from Guangzhou, went to Yingzhou, and entered Chenzhou in Shaozhou. However, the south side of Jinghu South Road is more backward than Guangnan East Road. This post road is not very valuable for commercial purposes except for transmitting information. Unless it is fully developed on the south side of Jinghu South Road, they can only be driven by each other. At least it has little significance to the economic promotion of Guangnan East Road. Or it is Lingqu, which is the matter of Guangnan West Road, and I will talk about it later. Then

There are several private salt roads. To the east is the salt road entering the Tingzhang area of ​​Fujian Road. These two states are also backward areas of Fujian Road, but there is a road from the Han River to Tingzhou, and there is a road from Tingzhou to Qingliu, starting from Qingliu. There is sand water directly connecting to the Minjiang River. However, the water flows rapidly and the road from the Han River to the upper reaches of the Han River. The road from the Qingliu to Tingzhou is far away, and all of them are mountain roads, which are expensive to transport. Unless the sand water and the upper reaches of the Han River are fully dredged and the Qingting Road is rebuilt."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but rub my head.

With this technology and conditions to expand this path, Fujian's roads are crowded and there is no shortage of labor.

The question is where the money is. If this project emerges, it will not only play an important role in the development of Guangnan East Road, but also have a positive impact on Fujian Road. But how much money is needed? There seems to be some surplus in the treasury. If you spend it with your own hands, it will be spent in at most two years.

After taking a sip of tea, he calmed down and said, "The cost is too great. There are two other roads, follow Qiandao and Jianlong Road. These two waterways are well developed and are connected to the economically developed Jiangnan West Road. The waterway is far away. The south is directed to Yushui, the ditch connects most of Guangdong and Guangxi, the north is connected to Gansu River, and the Yangtze River is directly connected to the Yangtze River. As long as the two mountain roads are expanded, the two roads can be connected. After the battle of Xunqian Road, the Qianzhou Salt Administration and Trade Law have no obstacles. A large amount of salt enters Jiangnan West Road, which will also drive commercial development. Follow Qiandao Direct, there is no private salt on Jianlong Road, and regeneration of right and wrong will lose its meaning and will also be smooth and smooth. Once built, there is not much money or silk, but the significance is very important. Not only salt, but business will also be connected. Therefore, Zizhong and Yuanyun envoy send someone to check it out. You can start the construction now and calculate how much money you have to spend. I will ask the court for you."

"Besides, the roads of each prefecture and county are accessible, and you also need to send officials to explore. During this period, I have stayed on Guangnan East Road and inspected each prefecture. If you have any questions, please come to me."

"Inspecting all prefectures on Guangnan East Road?" Zhou Heng asked in surprise.

"Well, not only will I go to see all the states and understand them. Finally, I will try my best to look at them one by one, as well as the forty counties and towns. If you want to have political achievements in the administration, you will not be able to work behind closed doors without understanding them. I am not a Master, and you can know the world with just a book of the Book of Changes."

All three of them laughed in silence.

"Ji Zhen, don't be happy either. There are more problems with Guangnan West Road. I don't want to touch it for the time being. Yu Jing is in charge, so I will be safe for the time being. You just happened to accompany me and let's accumulate some experience together. Let's start with Guangnan West Road."

Zhou Ying's face immediately wrinkled like bitter gourd. It's simple to say, it would be very hard to inspect all prefectures and counties. In some places, it is still a terrifying scene, a small justice field.

Zheng Lang continued: "This is about the road planning. Let me talk about water conservancy. When it comes to water conservancy, we must talk about water conservancy. For example, in Taipingzhou, the Yangtze River moved northward from ancient times, so when I went to Taipingzhou, I set up the port in Wuhu, rather than in Zhoucheng. The biggest change in water in Guangnan East Road is the Yushui Delta, with several tributaries having a huge water volume. Although the river water is clear most of the time and the amount of silt is small. However, mountain torrents in the upstream area will burst in time, and when typhoons prevail, some mud and sand will also come down from west to east. After these mud and sand reach the delta, as the terrain is flat, the water flow rate will gradually decrease. Once the river flow rate drops, the mud and sand will easily settle. When I came, I deliberately paid attention to the evolution of this sedimentation on both sides of the Yushui."

After hearing this, Tian Yu and Zhou Wei were first surprised, and then ashamed. Zheng Langshun went to Guangzhou, then entered Longchuan from Guangzhou, and arrived at Xunqian Road. He also came all the way, but he didn't pay attention at all.

They were also wrong. Now no one pays attention to geology. Some people have recorded changes in the terrain, but have not formed a large-scale theory.

Different visions and different things to observe.

"This silt brings benefits, allowing the delta plains to develop, and it gradually expands every year. The downstream evil streams of Hanjiang River, to Yushui, and Qinjiang River in Qinzhou all form some alluvial plains, silting a large amount of fertile land. With the cultivation of the people of the upstream, the greater the loss of silt and sand, the faster the plains expand. However, there are many disadvantages, because the expansion of alluvial plains one by one, the river channels are often changed and relocated, and the delta plains are often attacked by floods."

"Yes, yes," Yuan Tao nodded repeatedly and said, "So that's the reason. Mr. Zheng, if you don't say it, I really can't imagine."

After saying that, I thought in my mind whether I should make a book about studying the things written by Zheng Lang and take a look. Then I thought, it was not right, there was no such knowledge written in various Confucian theories.

Zheng Lang pressed his hand and said, "Yuanyun Commander, don't worry. After listening to me, the people don't understand. They only know how to chase fertile land. These alluvial plains are very fertile, so they farm according to the river. Even the seaside is fertile, many people come to farm. The more people, the more harmful the floods are, especially the seaside. Guangdong and Guangxi water conservancy is very backward, and many areas on the seaside have no seawalls built. Once a large typhoon blows, disasters will be formed again. When I head south, I used various information to draw a map to carry out some water conservancy planning for Guangnan Dongyuan."

"Where is the picture?" Yuan Tao asked in surprise.

If we talk about water conservancy, no one can match Zheng Lang's proficiency in water conservancy. This map is likely to be a treasure.

Zheng Lang took out a thick scroll from behind, but did not open it, rubbed his head again, sighed, "Now there is a question, where is the money."
