Zheng Lang's first stop started in Xunzhou, then went to Meizhou, Chaozhou and Huizhou. Then he turned back to Xunzhou and drafted the case of Xunqiandao first. In his mind, if Guangdong and Guangxi want to develop, he must take the Pearl River Delta as the leader to drive the development of the entire Guangdong and Guangxi. First, Guangzhou has a foundation, second, it has excellent ports, third, developed water transportation, fourth, the population base, eight counties have nearly 100,000 households, 95% are still Chinese households. The most important thing is to be close to Nanyang. Now it is not obvious that once the population of Guangdong and Guangxi increases, the last advantage will be infinitely magnified, so that Guangzhou can become a monster like Hangzhou and leave commercial states such as Ezhou behind.

Whether it can be done depends on the investment and construction development in the past two years. Guangzhou is the most important place for inspection.

But we cannot underestimate Chaozhou and Huizhou. Meizhou has less than 10,000 households in one state, but Chaozhou has more than 50,000 households, and Huizhou has nearly 50,000 households. In addition, Guangzhou, the three states account for almost one-quarter of the total households in Guangdong and Guangxi.

The geographical conditions determine. Chaozhou has the Evil River (Hanjiang) Delta, and the ones that hate many crocodiles, but since Han Yu killed crocodiles, the people are no longer afraid of this creature and take the initiative to kill crocodiles. The harm of crocodiles is not great. Most of the middle and lower reaches of the Longchuan water passes through Huizhou, bringing good irrigation and planting conditions. It has not yet developed well. If developed properly, it can at least accommodate more than two or three times the lives of the people.

Inspections per county.

Not only did he look at the county town, but he went deep into the countryside to see the countryside, the needs, the salt fields, the ports, and then interrogated more than a dozen unjust cases, removed a county magistrate, and held several minor officials in the office, one lord and one county magistrate.

Seeing this, the bad officials in Guangdong and Guangxi were all unhappy. In order to keep the black hat on their heads, they had to change their minds and handle government affairs carefully.

In fact, Zheng Lang mainly focuses on terrain and water conservancy.

But two things happened.

The first thing is the merchants and barbarians everywhere and the people elsewhere.

What the court saw was that the financial situation was good, and it actually brought far more than this. The improved exemption law released a large number of middle-class people, and not all of them were successfully converted. Some people went bankrupt after they were released, and many people went bankrupt. However, many people successfully transformed and marched to first and second-class households. Ping An Supervision and Banks were like two monsters, which made many people double their property in a few years. Especially Ping An Supervision. It has been implemented for more than ten years, and some people have doubled their property. The earliest batch has doubled four or five times. Many commercial businessmen are emerging, but Zheng Lang hates the annexation of land and hidden houses the most. When he was the prime minister, he avoided controversy and did not take action on the annexation of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of the ignorance of

In just one sentence, you have enough money, why don’t you let these poor poor people go? At least since Zhao Zhichao, the whole country has focused on cultivating qigong. Even hypocrites like Ouyang Xiu have written in a cluster of articles, which shows the importance of the solar term. Therefore, when Zheng Lang’s articles were published, many followers were followed. Even the whole country regarded these acts of merging and hidden land as usury. It was considered a very despicable thing. After investigating the state, at least the Ping An Supervision and the wealthy families in the bank, most of them took the initiative to stop this behavior. However, they had money in their hands and accumulated a large amount of money and put it in the bank. Although there was interest, the interest was too light. Those who were smart could see that the interest was not as high as the price rose rapidly.

Where to invest?

Those with the means to expand the scale of commercial scale, those with the ability to expand the scale of their workshops, and those without the ability will not be able to do so.

After the news spread that Zheng Lang would invest heavily in Guangdong and Guangxi, many businessmen went south, and the most were merchants from Liangzhe Road. They felt the deepest of everything Zheng Lang did in Hangzhou, followed by Jiangdong. They all went south to find opportunities.

There were also many barbarians who were waiting and watching. Xunqiandao fought bloody battles and Xunzhou's bloody oaths to join forces. They turned against each other and set out to Xunzhou to express their loyalty to the Song Dynasty to Zheng Lang.

And the people.

Fujian Road has a mountainous terrain of more than 90%, but it has become the second-density area of ​​the Song Dynasty. It can be imagined that the living environment is fierce. Often, even some landlords dare not raise a second child and third child, and cannot raise a son. One son can still maintain the family business. Once the two sons are divided, they become middle peasants, and then they become poor peasants and cannot maintain the advantages of the family business. But what should I do if I raise them? The children drowned and strangled to death. Wang Ding was not used to it after coming to Jianzhou. Everyone stopped and stopped, and they were not allowed to do this. It was too unkind.

But as parents, who doesn’t suffer? If you really want to be like Xiao Nojin, just like that. Xiao Nojin doesn’t love his son, but his second son, and the sad thing is Liao Xingzong. But what should I do if I don’t do this?

After hearing some rumors, some people could not survive, so they went south to Guangdong and Guangxi to make a living. Not only Fujian Road, but also Jiangnan West Road. Anyway, the Song Dynasty government did not prohibit the movement of the people, so the government had to turn a blind eye to this.

You escaped by yourself, and it has nothing to do with me if something happened halfway.

When Tian Yu and Yuan Tao heard the news, they hurriedly sent people to welcome the safety platoon. These officials of the prefectures did not care about it, but these people fled to Guangdong and Guangxi. If something happened, the officials of Guangdong and Guangxi were responsible. Guangdong and Guangxi were also starting to build various roads, which was just needed. While arranging refugees, they sent people to ask Zheng Lang for money. Don’t patrol, you have to get a large amount of money and silk for us immediately.

Zheng Lang wrote a letter to ask the court for money and first got us five million guan.

Pang Ji was so hard that he was so hard that you kid had earned a little money from the imperial court. Are you unwilling to spend them?

I replied to a letter, and I don’t care about the money in the bank, but you have to consider the court’s ability to bear it. The Jinghu South Road is spending money, Di Qing went to Temodao to spend money. God knows if there will be disaster this year, so I can only allocate 10 million yuan to you. There is no more than a single one. And this 10 million yuan is immediately allocated to you, so I will save my regret immediately.

Zheng Lang also replied a letter, Pang Chunzhi, don’t be angry, when I return to the capital, please go to Fanlou to have a feast. There is no need to hurry. Although you use money in the early stage, once the construction is done, Guangdong and Guangxi will be on track, and the court’s financial situation will be better. Even if you include various incomes in a year, 200 million income will not be a dream. Think about the 200 million national fiscal revenue, what will the treasury look like?

Pang Ji replied with another letter, "Don't draw cakes for me, for the future, I have to consider the current financial pressure of the court."

Zheng Lang was speechless, Master Pang was smart, and he didn't eat the cake he drew.

It is impossible to make the national fiscal reach 200 million. Although Guangdong and Guangxi have bright prospects, bank income will also rise steadily, but what does the country need to do? It is enough to have a fiscal revenue of 150 million or 600 million or 600 million or slight taxes. Others will gradually relax the two taxes and reduce the pressure on farmers. However, under the circumstances of light taxes, the national fiscal revenue can reach 150 million or 600 million per year, which will produce a huge change. It can also easily launch a larger battle than the Northwest War at the beginning of the Qingli period, and even use money to directly induce the other tribes and tribes to rebel. It is not possible now, and Wang Anshi can do that, although the money is collected, the Battle of Hehuang, the Battle of Jiaozhi, and the Battle of Pingxia did not cause financial difficulties in the Song Dynasty, but the people are not yet collected from the reforms of the people? Is the good country, the suffering or the people.

There is one of the most important prerequisites for all this. Zheng Lang was in Guangdong and Guangxi and had spoken. He would not be in Guangdong and Guangxi for a short time. You can see that it is Guangnan East Road, and Guangnan West Road has not moved. He would have to stay for at least three or two years.

Zheng Lang's financial ability reassures businessmen, and Zheng Lang's care for the people reassures the people.

This has led to a large number of businessmen and people heading south.

Zheng Lang didn't write a letter anymore. He knew that since he went south, he had squandered Pang Ji, and that 10 million yuan of money might not be enough. Guangnan East Road will need a lot of money to spend this year, and Guangnan West Road will also invest some money to invest. It really doesn't work, so we will reduce the project by a batch.

The second thing is Zhao Zhen’s anger.

With Zhao Zhen's usual character, he was a little soft-worked in handling affairs. Just like Song Klong, who put it on that emperor, most of them were executed, just a stick to the Shamen Island. Then he regretted it and sent an envoy to recover the edict, but he did not catch up with it in the heavy storm. He regretted it in the palace.

However, even Zheng Lang did not expect Zhao Zhen's anger this time.

Zhao Zhen grew up wisely and was not very suspicious. He could see Zheng Lang's loyalty and caution. He had no suspicion about Zheng Lang at all, and even took the initiative to dispel Zheng Lang's conscientiousness and let Zheng Lang do things with peace of mind. Moreover, Zheng Lang went south this time, first the Song Dynasty and our emperor promoted loyalty to the Song Dynasty. The emperor was kind, and he could see this caution and caution. If he was still suspicious, how could other ministers do things in the future? Should they all be inaction officials?

Moreover, more or less, the friendship and the vague feelings cultivated from young people are actually the first confidant minister in Zhao Zhen’s heart. Of course, it cannot be said, otherwise the slang will snore again and again.

Zheng Lang's ability to govern, in Zhao Zhen's mind, Zheng Lang was Guan Zhong during the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, Zhuge Liang of Liu Bei, Wang Meng of Fu Jian, Fang Du and Yao Song of the Tang Dynasty, and the only few wise ministers in China for thousands of years. The greatest guarantee for whether the Song Dynasty could revive.

In addition, Zheng Lang's memorial was unclear, and Zhao Zhen became angry.

Not only did they get angry in the capital, but they got angry again on the morning of the third day. The hundreds of ministers below listened to Zhao Zhen's roar and were speechless. However, they were also very disgusted with this matter. The world was vast and the scholars were the biggest. It was okay for these people to be a salty person. Who dared to join forces to murder a dignified prime minister in the future? This not only touched Zhao Zhen's bottom line, but also touched the bottom line of all scholars and officials. What if they committed a crime and were demoted to Lingnan? There was no one hundred cavalry around them to protect them. The whole country agreed to Zhao Zhen and severely punished them.

This decision is quite a bit of a clue.

First, according to Zheng Lang's suggestion, Cheng Shimeng, Yang Cha and Cai Ting were placed in Lingnan. Yang Cha was the same transport envoy, and Cheng Shimeng and Cai Ting were the deputy transport envoys, assisting Zheng Lang in building Guangnan East Road. Compared with these three officials, they were actually demoted. In fact, they went to gilded. If they did well, it would be a great political achievement. Zheng Langsheng had no promotion. At worst, what else could he do when he went back to become the prime minister? These three people were different. They had never served as the minister of the East and West governments, even if they were the deputy ministers.

Wang Ding was also transferred to Jiangnan West Road to the criminal prison, and Wang Chuo was the deputy envoy of Guangnan West Road to the criminal prison, Li Dao, Xu Cheng, and Shang Tong were the governors of Qianzhou, Tingzhou and Xunzhou respectively. This time, except for Kong Zongdan's heroic sacrifice, all of them were concentrated in the areas where the Third Road and Private Salt were flooded.

The arrival of Sanhu and Sanxing did not count, but it clearly stated in the edict that all criminals involved must be severely punished and no official shall shelter and seek mercy for him.

It was the first time in Zhao Zhen to handle the case with such a harsh attitude.

But Zheng Lang was ridiculous and terrifying. It was enough to have a Wang Ding. Why did he get all three tigers and three glares? These people were all sharp swords, and they hurt others and themselves if they were not used well. The most wonderful thing was that the court had a rare unified opinion, and they welcomed all Zhao Zhen’s actions this time.

Then Zhao Zhen published the case in a newspaper and published it in a newspaper to the states.

It’s not that he is angry with the courage of the private salt dealers, but for the sake of courage. Civil officials must gain power. However, some civil officials’ performances make people feel very disappointed. Often, in the future, the enemy fled and the wind surrendered. Even dozens of Zhang Hai can open the gates of prefectures and counties and ask officials to bring wine and meat to pay their respects.

So cowardly.

Zheng Lang has been in danger with his dignity for the sake of the country. Could it be that you, a small magistrate, are you more noble than Zheng Lang? If everyone is not afraid of death, can Nong Zhigao quickly attack the city of Guangzhou? The layers of prefectures and counties will be consumed. The consumption will also kill his troops.

At the end of April, Zheng Lang and Zhou Han came to Xunzhou City with simplicity.

Zheng Lang is in his prime and can withstand it. Zhou Heng is nearly fifty years old. He traveled to various prefectures and counties in the past month. His body was unable to bear it. He said panting: "Mr. Zheng, I have entered the city. I have to take a few days off."

"Of course, I will have to spend a few days watching the murder of Xunqiandao."

Zhou Wei took another breath and asked, "Mr. Zheng. Are you happy to be running around like this?"

It is of course a good thing to do things for the country and the people, but even if you are tired, you will almost exhaust yourself. At least you don’t feel that little happiness. Are you not a good official? The conscience of heaven and earth, and you are still worthy of this salary as an official?

Zheng Lang misunderstood and replied: "How dare I talk about happiness? Fan Xiwen's heart is pure snow, white paper, flawless, but my heart is stained with too many bad things. I can only say that the emperor trusts me and favors me, and his annual salary and subsidies reach more than 30,000 yuan. He is slightly worthy of the emperor's trust and generous salary. I am ashamed. Don't say this again in the future."

Zhou Wei is very cute. Grandma, even if the country gives you a generous salary, you will scoop out more than 100,000 yuan in gold and silver when you donate twice. In this case, your salary is equal to half, which is almost the same as mine. I also say ashamed, what should we officials do? They will die by hitting the wall?

Could this guy have practiced martial arts like those soldiers? Zhou Wei was so tired that he made Zheng Lang die of one sentence, so he was so angry that he hummed.

Zheng Lang repeatedly recommended Fan Zhongyan, but Zhou Han was not convinced. Zhou Han dared not question Fan Zhongyan's virtue, but Zhou Han looked down on Fan Zhongyan's ability to govern the government. What is this ability for a new policy to make the country chaotic?

The group quickly arrived outside Xunzhou City, and new changes appeared outside the city. After receiving the appointment of Zhao Zhen, Yang Chuo and others quickly headed south.

They are all people who are not afraid of too many things but are afraid of not many things. When they heard about this big case, they were all so happy that they smiled. Cheng Shimeng, Yang Cha and Cai Ting were still halfway, and Wang Chuo and Shang Tong rode their horses quickly and came to Xunzhou several days ago.

When the two masters came, there was more trouble. They were severely interrogated, not only did they examine the case this year, but they also grabbed the Chen Nian thirsty case. Then they issued orders one by one, and the arrest of the person was called happy, and they would not mention it.

Bao Ke made the two masters stunned.

But the emperor's imperial edict was written very clearly, so that they would not be afraid of big things, but small things, and they would be helpless.

The prisoners were arrested so many times. Shang Tong looked for a house in the city and repaired it urgently, as a temporary cell. Although there were hundreds of soldiers guarding it outside the city, Shang Tong was worried.

After hearing this, Zheng Lang and Zhou Feng both frowned.

Zheng Lang also wanted to get the roots, but the two of them were too much, which would definitely shake the hearts of the people in several states.

The officials came out, and Zheng Lang made a few simple remarks and led his team into the city.

After walking for a while, a woman in her sixties stopped them, knelt down, and cried, "Mr. Zheng, you are a good official, please let me go."

Shang Tong said hatefully: "Mr. Zheng, ignore her. Her son is one of the murderers in the forest."

Zheng Lang frowned when he heard this, but he obviously saw that the old woman's hand stretched out was abnormal and slightly bent.

The old woman said, "Mr. Zheng, this magistrate, my son is ignorant and violated the law, but for me, the old woman, I am not as good as..."

He was about to hit the wall and let Zheng Su pull her.

"I have made great progress," Zheng Lang praised, not praising Zheng Su's martial arts skills, but praising him for his reason. Then he looked at the old woman and asked, "Mother-in-law, please tell me clearly, what's for you?"

"Mr. Zheng, I just got this disease. My son didn't understand. My family was poor and wanted to get medicine. I listened to them. But my son didn't kill anyone, so he went there once. He was still standing behind." The old woman cried and said, unable to explain clearly, but she could barely understand what she meant.

Zheng Lang was also very clear about this matter. At the beginning, all the Han murderers involved did not charge much. This was what some people instructed Huang Xiaowu to do, so as to reduce casualties and avoid heavy pensions after the case. But in the end, Huang Xiaowu was angry and desperately rushed up. But the situation was very chaotic at that time. Most soldiers were killed and killed by arrows and spears, and few people died in short-term handover. God knew who the murderer was, and even they themselves didn't know.

He said, "Mother-in-law, let's do it. Follow me and I'll go to the yatang. How about cutting off your son's case on the spot?"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Zheng Gong," the old woman kowtowed repeatedly. She asked Zheng Lang to help her up, and then asked the two guards to support her and come to the Yatang. When Zheng Lang judged the case, many people came to him. At first, there were not many people involved, and everything was normal in Xunzhou, but after Shang Tong and Wang Chuo's hands, it changed. Of course, their intentions were good, but they were better. More and more people were arrested, and many people were panicked. Therefore, when Zheng Lang tried the case, they came to watch one by one.

After a while, another young woman came over with the child, who was the murderer's wife and son.

Zheng Lang was a little displeased. The reason for the trial of this case was that Wang Shang and the others were implicated. To correct it, he immediately asked about it because of the murderer's filial piety. If he used the old man's wife and children to force himself, he would not be very happy.

After looking at it again, the young woman and the child had a dish on their faces and endured it again.

The murderer was brought up. He was in his thirties and was beaten to pieces. Two women, one old and one young, were crying and asked the yamen runners to take them down.

Zheng Lang asked: "Who is the surname under the hall, who is the person, and how old is this year?"

I was already looking through the file, so why I asked it routinely.

"Mr. Zheng, the youngest is Xu Erwa, a native of Huangligou, Longchuan, and he is thirty-two years old."

"Why became the murderer?"

"The youngest family is poor, and the doctor said that the youngest mother had joint paralysis and what happened..."
To be continued...
