The two words are very simple, but Zheng Lang really can't think of them.

Tell me the way out and do it myself, correcting some of the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty bit by bit.

Liang Shi said that the country was rich but not strong, but it was already like this. The supply of the Song Dynasty mainly came from the southeast. This alone meant that the war cost was very huge. The Tang Dynasty fought the Eastern Turks, Hebei had supply, Tubo, Guanzhong had supply, and Longyou was then developed. In the Western Turks, most of the use of local Hu soldiers to control Hu. However, the Song Dynasty had to transport the supply from the southeast to the capital, and then from the capital to Hebei or Shaanxi, and then transport it to the front line, causing high costs.

A country's wealth does not mean a country's strength, but if you want a country to be strong, the country must be richer.

The establishment of Ping An Supervision not only brought income to the country and opened up people's enterprising ideas, but also brought a large amount of money, metals and other minerals. Not only gold, silver and copper, but also iron, tin, lead, mercury, as well as jade, coral, and local specialties, it also made up for the demand for metals and luxury goods in the Song Dynasty.

I am laying off troops and gradually correcting the phenomenon of redundant troops.

Establish the Farmland Water Conservancy Law, preside over various large-scale water conservancy construction, increase grain yield per mu, meet the people's grain arable land needs, and leave room for accommodating population growth.

Practicing Confucianism, forcibly correcting the wrong direction of the development of Confucianism after the Han Dynasty, and making this Mohist-style Confucianism more enterprising, rather than becoming increasingly restrained.

The most important thing is to develop science. It is impossible to see now. Perhaps in one or two hundred years, it will bring greater leaps and bounds to the entire Song Dynasty.

Also, the improved exemption method, Baojia method, warehouse method, 37-point system of mineral deposits, banks, etc., are all looking for a good way out for the Song Dynasty.

However, Fan Zhongyan was vague and obviously did not refer to this.

Zheng Lang suddenly started to make a cold move. What was Fan Zhongyan thinking? Could it be that he wanted to establish a system like the Zhao Kuangyi brothers, and that the generals could not control the power, treat the scholars and officials well, and focus on internal governance. He also wanted to set similar standards and rules?

Or is it simply a better system, democratic parliamentary system, democratic constitutional system, socialism, Roman parliamentary system, white caliphate system?

Fan Zhongyan definitely didn't mean that.

It is the word "out" that comes out. Zheng Langzhen didn't understand it, so he wrote a letter to ask Fan Zhongyan, Xiwen, please explain it clearly.

It made him feel disappointed. Before the letter arrived at Yingtian Mansion, Fan Zhongyan died. So the word "Out" caused Zheng Lang a long time to bother. Until a long time later...

Two saints, the undead saint is lost, and the lost saint dies.

The news of Fan Zhongyan's death was heard, and the court and the country were filled with sorrow. Wherever Fan Zhongyan had been in politics, the people built temples for Fan Zhongyan. Hundreds of people from the northwest gathered to observe silently and fasted for days. Zhao Zhen was also extremely sad. He personally wrote a stele of praise for the wise and gave the posthumous title Wen Zheng.

But Zheng Lang didn't know how to evaluate Fan Zhongyan. Later, Wang Anshi was the same as Zheng Lang. Before Fan Zhongyan had entered the altar, Wang Anshi said that Fan Zhongyan was a teacher for a lifetime and that everyone in the world would learn from Fan Zhongyan. On the other hand, he criticized Fan Zhongyan for his reputation and fame in front of Emperor Shenzong of Song for his help, thinking that he was a supporter of the party, which was very bad for customs.

This evaluation is the most fair evaluation.

Virtue and mind not only make the people of the Song Dynasty worth learning, but they must learn from later generations. However, Fan Zhongyan laid the hidden dangers of party struggles, which brought serious hostility and irritability to the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.

The death of Fan Zhongyan also means that the era of Lu Fan has completely ended and entered a new era, the era of Zheng Lang, Han Qi, Pang Ji, Fu Bi and others.

February ends.

Even if so much labor is used, the project has not been completely completed. Especially some seawalls have to be delayed intermittently until winter before they can be completed, but the main project has been completed. As for the final project, there must be some barbarians who have also actively requested the government to support it. This is a good phenomenon and must be supported. Zheng Lang instructed to post the drawings of each prefecture and county on the walls outside the county government to make it open and transparent.

If we manage water conservancy, we must follow these scientific drawings. It is just that the court and the people work together, not the court leading the way. The court sends officials to guide them, and the people themselves contribute money and efforts to develop, just like the development of Guangdong and Guangxi during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Zhao Zhen gradually became lost, and the court began to become a turbulent autumn. Zheng Lang had to be cautious in doing things. If he invested so much money, Guangdong and Guangxi had to see the rewards in order to get the court ministers to continue to support him. So he changed his strategy. In fact, the common people would definitely not be able to develop the consequences of this policy. Only those big landlords could preside over water conservancy, which was equivalent to acquiescing a large number of new big landlords. Especially some barbarians with prestige and a little wealth in their hands. But the advantage is that since the summer, Guangdong South Road finance began to recover, and the barbarians jumped into big landlords. Seeing the benefits, their status would not be lost. They would take their clan members to actively cooperate with the court and become Chinese faster.

Another memorial was written, asking the court to allow Cheng Shimeng, Cai Ting and Yan Du to be transferred to Guangnan West Road.

The front officially moved to Guangnan West Road.

The funds allocated by the court still accumulated a portion of the funds and did not dare to move them. Before the people gained a harvest, they must keep some money in their hands. Even if it is unnecessary, they will be far from filling the investment in Guangnan West Road. In fact, this is a large-scale water conservancy project that can be ranked among the best in history.

But unlike projects such as the Grand Canal, it is relatively scattered.

There was a lot of money invested, including 35 million yuan. If the fiscal revenue of Guangnan East Road was added, the imperial court's small allocation in the early stage was close to 40 million yuan, accounting for one-third of the court's total annual income. At this time, the Song Dynasty accounted for at least 60% of the world's economic income, which was to smash one-fifth of the world's total annual income on Guangnan East Road.

Or another way of calculation, the Song Dynasty could not calculate it. A horse in the Khitan was worth only about ten coins. If the Song Dynasty had not raised the price of horses in the false, it would have been even lower. Four million horses could be purchased. In fact, the Khitan statistics were only one million horses in total, and no more than two million horses could not be counted. If you buy sheep, you can buy seven or eight thousand sheep in the Khitan. If possible, so much money would be purchased in the Khitan, you could buy almost all the large livestock in the Khitan.

The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty did not eat or drink, and the total national income in two years was the sum of Qifan's eight years of national fiscal revenue. The total national fiscal revenue in the Xixia 20 years.

The most labor-intensive workload reached nearly one million people. In history, Yang Guang only used more than one million people to build the Grand Canal. Of course, the two are not good. It is a canal built by forcing the people to work hard to build with the situation. It took a longer time and the project volume may be ten times more.

The number of immigrants reached more than 220,000 households, but there were actually no. It was no more than 140,000 households. Nearly 900,000 people, but there were no, or about 800,000. This number of immigrants was only the only one that Cao Cao moved the Hanzhong people. The Sui and Tang Dynasties immigrated to Chang'an and Luoyang, and the spontaneous immigrants from the Western Jin Dynasty to the south were compared. The Song Dynasty also immigrated. Many, tens of thousands of households were moved to the West Road of Jingxi, but only a few times were only a few thousand households, which was far from comparing with the number of immigrants this time.

The numbers are not the highest in history, but compared with the predecessors, every time they achieved their goal at the cost of dying many people. But this time, there are different people. Old people and sick people are inevitable, but the people do not complain and give countless families a chance.

There is also an invisible benefit to spending so much money. It not only provides wages to the people, living utensils, tools, ships, vehicles, building materials, etc., which increases the income of many related people. Some craftsmen directly enter fourth-class households from extreme poverty. Even if they have wages and insufficient coins, they mostly use grain and cloth instead to pay, which also causes many people to increase their income. Of course, the relevant workshop owners and merchants have gained the most, and even the court has levyed some commercial taxes.

There is no GDP statement, otherwise nearly 40 million yuan would be spent, creating related industries and associated industries, and an increase of at least 100 million yuan of wealth. However, these wealth flowed into the people and the court did not make much profit.

But what is governing the country? It is not about the court’s wealth, but ultimately it is about making the people rich.

There are also many bad things happening in the middle.

But in the future, many people can also see that the country will inevitably increase its income, open many roads and fill Han households, Guangdong and Guangxi will strengthen their ties with the court. As long as safe development for more than ten years and the population is dense, and with the likes of Nong Zhigao, Guangdong and Guangxi can immediately draw many troops to resist. This alleviates the dense population pressure on Fujian Road, Zhejiang West and Jiangnan West Road.

At this moment, Zheng Lang got good news.

The Dashi merchants returned to Guangzhou with the southeast wind and entered the Yujiangkou. Many Dashi merchants were unable to recognize it. It turned out that countless stone embankments and stone dams suddenly appeared on the flat coastline. They couldn't recognize it even after they got ashore. Many swamps and mudflats turned into cultivated land, and the people were farming.

This is not what they care about. They came to Guangzhou Port one by one and handed over the most important thing to Wei Guan, pyrethrum. In fact, it can be faster. For example, when Zheng He went to the West, the shortest time was only one year, but this year was different. He visited dozens of countries and delayed a lot of time, which was actually used for less than half a year during his voyage.

However, the ships of the Dashi merchants are different from Zheng He's ships and some of the fast ships in Ping An Supervision. In order to save costs, there are fewer ships and people, they must rely on the wind and wait for the monsoon to sail. Therefore, the sailing time is one year and a half. Some inexpensive cargoes in Ping An Supervision are mostly sailing once a year. However, precious metal minerals, jade, and spices can often be completed once a round trip in a few months. Nothing else, when the ship is against the wind, there are many people on the boat, and they spare no effort to put down their sails, row with large oars, and walk against the wind.

In the Song Dynasty, some merchants also went to Dashi and East Africa. They were not as familiar with the local products as Dashi merchants, and they did not know the situation in the surrounding areas of the Mediterranean, so they entrusted them to Dashi merchants. They still came along with the monsoon, but they arrived in Guangzhou in March, and the time they spent looking for pyrethra was considered very fast.

More than 10,000 yuan was spent.

Over the past six months, several big men from Guangdong and Guangxi have been numb to spending money. Zheng Lang said it is very important, so let’s spend it.

The seeds were transported to Guizhou immediately and planted in Guizhou.

All don't know its meaning.

The envoy of Jiaozhi came late. As Zheng Lang expected, there was a dispute within Jiaozhi about whether to use troops from Guangdong and Guangxi. So he sent an envoy to Guizhou to test Zheng Lang. The envoy who came was the general of Zuo Xiaowei and Wu Er, commander in front of the hall.

After hearing the second envoy came, Zheng Lang gave Zhang Kang a piece of information.

This is the information that the scouts of the special agent camp took a long time to spy on.

The public information was that Yu Jing asked Jiaozhi to send troops to help. Jiaozhi agreed. Although he did not send troops, many Vietnamese historians later believed that it was a disaster. After cutting off Nong Zhigao's retreat, Song general pacified Guangdong and Guangxi, and Jiaozhi lost the opportunity to expand north, which of course made the Vietnamese regret more.

But what about the real situation?

The scout finally brought some information from Di Qing before he went south. Nong Zhigao suddenly launched an attack, and Li Dezheng was welcoming. However, Nong Zhigao suddenly raised his troops, Jiaozhi was not ready, and there were domestic disputes, and some tribes rebelled. Nong Zhigao usurped the throne and the rulers could not tolerate it. If Nong Zhigao's actions were right, in the future, the powerful ministers and powerful barbarians of Jiaozhi could cede land and become kings at will. In a state of hesitation, Nong Zhigao retreated from Guangzhou.

Hearing that Di Qing went south, he did two things. The first thing was to prepare a rear in Temodao, and the second thing was to win over some local tyrants and support him. This was public news. There was also a secret request to ask Jiaozhi to send troops to support him. In fact, when Nong Zhigao rebelled, Jiaozhi had already sent troops to the border to sit and watch.

Yu Jing sent an envoy to send troops to Jiaozhi. It was really the one who sent it. It was not Li Zongdao, but Wuer. The 20,000 Jiaozhi army slowly came to the border and was ready to support Nong Zhigao at any time. The Vietnamese official army was stationed in Lu Village on the border. However, Nong Zhigao's mother had an argument with his wife. Nong wife Nong's wife advocated letting the Li Dynasty official army pick up Nong Zhigao, but Anon was skeptical and decided to let the Li Dynasty officials strengthen the city protection, stationed on the right bank of Pengjiang (south) and mobilized the militia to fight to the decisive battle.

After receiving this information, Zheng Lang immediately reported to the court.

It is not that he deliberately makes trouble for Yu Jing and explains Di Qing's method, but that this matter must be recorded in history to prevent future generations from calling Nong Zhigao every day as a national hero.

Jiaozhi has been very uneasy about Nong Zhigao's ambition and usurpation of the throne. Anon did not allow the Jiaozhi army to cross the Pengjiang River, so Wuer kept holding his troops. Wuer did not expect Nong Zhigao to be defeated so quickly without Jiaozhi reinforcements. Guirenpu Di Qing quickly defeated Nong Zhigao. Nong Zhigao took his remaining troops to cross the Beiwanghe River and fled to Qinzhou. Hearing that his mother did not allow the Jiaozhi army to go north, he shouted: "Mom, you are wrong, you should eat shit... (The authenticity is close to 90%)"

The Song army chased closely behind, especially those foreign cavalry were very fast. Nong Zhigao's brother-in-law led his troops to arrive at a critical moment, bravely severing the rear, and resisted the Song army to the end, causing Nong Zhigao to finally escape into Qinzhou City. Heroes are heroes, and Di Qing buried Nong Zhigao's brother-in-law in Rongbu afterwards, and did not cut off the head and seek credit.

Nong Zhigao retreated to Qinzhou. Seeing that he could not defeat the Song army, he wanted to set up another cave or drag Jiaozhi into the water. He wrote a letter to ask to meet Wuer. Wuer carefully analyzed the situation. The Song army was strong. Nong Zhigao's backbone disappeared in the battle of Guirenpu. He sent more troops and won less. He said to Nong Zhigao's envoy: "Tell him, let him go wherever he wants. It is difficult for me to deal with living here."

You can wander around Guangnan West Road, or you can escape to Dali, or you can stay in Qinzhou City, don’t run away to us.

Qinzhou City was broken, Wuer retreated his troops and returned to Shenglong. But what the Song Dynasty did not say so, our troops entered Pengjiang not to help Nong Zhigao, but to help you in the Song Dynasty. So we don’t want to go back the 20,000 yuan you gave us.

Look at what Yu Jing did!

But Yu Jing cannot be blamed, as most civil officials lead troops have this kind of virtue.

This is the truth about Jiaozhi sending 20,000 reinforcements to "assist" the Song Dynasty.

After seeing this information at the Privy Council, Di Qing felt a little scared. If it weren't for the two wolves' unconventional intentions, Guirenpu put aside his prejudices and joined forces in the battle, the victory would be unpredictable. Even if he wins, he would have been a tragic victory.

The second news was very short. Chen Min once led the people of the five counties of Jiaozhi to carve a port of Lin.

After reading it, Zhang Kang said, "One of these two people is proficient in military affairs and the other is proficient in water conservancy."

Zheng Lang nodded, needless to say, looking at today's Guangdong and Guangxi, one needs to look at the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the other needs to look at the water conservancy of Guangdong and Guangxi. Li Dezheng sent two insiders to the mission to see the actual situation of Guangdong and Guangxi.

He also said: "Kongshou, this time the envoy of Jiaozhi will be handed over to you. I will give you two tasks. The first is to hold Jiaozhi back and prevent them from attacking this year. The second is to make them feel contemptuous, so that they will launch an attack on our Song Dynasty next spring."

Zhou Wen and Yu Jing were stunned when they heard this. This was a really weird task. Is it a task or deliberately making things difficult for Zhang Kang?
