When he arrived in the capital in person, Zheng Lang received a letter that made the whole family dazed.

Written by Fan Chunyu and Fan Chunren, he tactfully proposed to the Zheng family on behalf of his fourth brother.

Zheng Ping got married into the Zong family, which should be a good choice. The Zong family has a slightly lower status than the Zheng family, but it is not much lower. If the difference between the suspension is too large, the man will feel that he cannot raise his head, which may not be a good thing. Just lowering it a little bit will become a subtle pattern.

Since Zheng Ping arrived at the Zong family, the Zong family regarded Zheng Ping as the pearl in their palms. Zhong Yi's life was a bit tragic. Sometimes the couple had some small quarrels. Not only did their mother help Zheng Ping, but their seven brothers also scolded him like a wolf and a tiger.

However, Zheng Lang and Cui Xian are very reasonable, and they scold their daughter every time. The parents of the two families have achieved this point, and it can be considered a family marriage. No matter how big the conflict between the couple is, there will be no conflict. This year, the good news that Zheng Ping is pregnant. At that time, it seemed that the Zheng family made a mistake in their choice, but the choice was very correct through the couple's getting along.

But Zheng Lang has another daughter, Zheng Hang.

The legitimate child was born, but Zheng Lang’s concubine was someone else’s concubine? Besides, how many children did Zheng Lang have?

Seeing that the Zheng family married a daughter, Zhong Yi was promoted quickly.

It is still a bright pearl, although it is slightly inferior to Zheng Ping.

It is normal for a family to adopt a daughter to ask for it. For two years, some people have asked for Zheng Hang one after another, but many considerations were made, but they were not suitable for the Zheng family to refuse.

Zheng Lang didn't read the letter from Fan Chunyu to ask for a confidant written by Qingzhou, and he planned to refuse. It was better than in history. After Fan Zhongyan's death, Fan Chunyu began to be filial again. Zheng Lang wrote letters and persuaded him again, and then persuaded Fan Chunyu to come out of the mountain through Fan Zhongyan's wife Ru's advice. This was not three years, but nearly four years. Zhao Zhen sighed that Qingzhou was just vacant. Fan Chunqi had been in Qingzhou for a long time with his father and could be civil and martial, so he could also learn from Qingzhou again.

But Cui Xian picked up the letter and looked through it.

Zheng Lang said: "It's not appropriate. The Fan family's life is simple, and Hang'er will feel wronged after she has passed, and it doesn't match her age."

A female junior, holding a gold brick, a female junior, holding a tiger? Zheng Hang is five years older than Fan Chuncui.

Jiang Xing'er suddenly whispered: "If the Fan family asks for help, it's not impossible."

Zheng Lang objected, Cui Xian was hesitant, but Jiang Xing'er agreed. This mentality was very clear that Cui Xian, the official family of Cui's family, had to be a little less concerned about her husband and was able to reach the peak of her official position. As long as it was not bad, she didn't care much about it. Jiang Xing'er's background was humble after all, and her mother was also a prostitute and would not be disgusted.

Cui Xian also thought that Zheng Hang was old, but she cared about the influence of the Fan family. The ministers who are in power in the court are mostly fans of Fan Zhongyan in the past. Fan Zhongyan's other two sons are students of her husband, and this marriage will cause many ministers to turn against each other.

But this age problem has indeed become a gap. It is not that the man is five years older than the woman, but that the woman is five years older, so Choi Xian is not very easy to say.

There were three parties involved in the family, three opinions, so the letter was placed where it was placed, and there was no reply.

The capital was about to arrive. Sitting on the boat, Su Shi said, "Mr. Zheng, my brother and I want to go home and take a look."

Both of them left the capital shortly after their wedding. Meishan was too far away from the capital. From the land, they had to cross mountains and ridges, and from the side of the waterway, they had to make a big circle, follow the Minjiang River, reach the Yangtze River, and then enter the capital from the Grand Canal. Not only was the distance, the Minjiang River and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River flowed rapidly, and the Three Gorges were also dangerous. It was inconvenient to go back and forth, so Lao Su took his son to the capital, so he stayed and did not go back until the end of the imperial examination. Lao Su went south to Jinghu South Road, and the big and small Su floated everywhere with Zheng Lang.

But in two years, Su Su gained a lot of knowledge and learned some principles of being an official, at least his mentality would be better than in history. As for whether Su Dongpo would write the previous and next poems "The Red Cliff Fu" or the Red Cliff Nostalgia in the future, Zheng Lang was quite suspicious. However, if he entered the career of the officialdom, his starting point would be far better than in history.

Zheng Lang said: "Zizhan, Su Che, don't worry. I have asked someone to buy a house for you in the capital, and I also sent someone to Meishan to pick up your family to the capital."

"Ah?" Su Xiao was very surprised.

"Maybe I will ask the court to govern the Yellow River. If I have the opportunity, I will ask the court to give you some official positions, stay by my side and assist me."

"Affect the order of Mr. Zheng," Su Dongpo bowed to the ground.

When he arrived in the capital, it was already dusk and Zheng Lang didn't have time to have dinner. He immediately went to the secret service camp and found Wang Yong. He talked for a while before returning. The next day he went to Zhongshu to give a job. As soon as he arrived at Zhongshu, he was invited by Zhao Zhen to Chongzheng Hall.

It is not in the capital hall, but in the Chongzheng Hall, with clear meanings.

There were many ministers sitting in the hall, including two officials, two ministers, and three officials and other important officials related to the three officials.

Zheng Lang strode forward and saluted Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen said, "Please calm down, Zheng Qing, it's been two more years."

There was a hint of joy, a melancholy, and a sigh in his eyes.

In fact, many ministers also had suspicion in their hearts. No matter what reason they used, the emperor was too weak to Zheng Lang, but it seemed that the emperor was not disgusted with Zheng Lang. Could it be that he really did this deliberately to govern the Yellow River?

"Sit down," Zhao Zhen said again.

The eunuch brought a chair and placed it directly on Fu Bi's head. The eyes of the ministers stopped again.

Zheng Lang sat down carelessly, not being the prime minister, but in terms of qualifications and political achievements, the one here can surpass him. Of course, he also felt a little melancholy in his heart. If it weren't for Zhao Niannu, he would be more experienced than Lu Yijian as the prime minister now.

It is useless to regret it. Pang Ji bowed to Fu Bi and Han Qi and said, "Yan Guo, Chunzhi, my childish master, today I can go back to the capital and put my strategy of governing the Yellow River on the agenda. I have to feel that three of you. If you don't have the three's diligence and preside over the national affairs, it will only be a dream."

Pang Ji just smiled. The country has improved slightly, but he has put his heart into it. It is so difficult to deal with the national affairs under the storm of impeachment by the ministers. Although Zheng Lang praised it a little, he could bear it.

Han Qi looked straight in the distance proudly, and Zheng Lang pushed the merits to him and the other three. Normally, what would he do if he, a minister, have to do such a merit?

Fu Bi said ashamed: "Xingzhi, I feel a little ashamed of saying this."

But Zheng Lang's words lifted the minds of the monarch and ministers. How much money does Zheng Lang need to use to manage the Yellow River? How dare he raise it? It means that the treasury has money, not to collect the money collected by the people, but to bring money from healthy management itself. Then everyone had countless thoughts. If it were ruled, Zheng Lang must be the leader. No one dared to take this position. Who dares to take such a big project? But if the rule method is like Zheng Lang, it will take at least several years, from the Three Gate, up to the junction of Song and Liao, down to the Huaihe River, and there is a new canal.

, how many civil servants have to be used, how many officials have to be used. What is important is that you may not be able to go to the next post, but you have a close confidant, and wherever you have a disciple, whoever goes, whoever goes, will be the one who wins the merits. Especially the main leaders in several sections, once the river management is over, if you have such great achievements, you will be promoted like a rocket. What a big piece of snack, even though the snack is good, there will be more greedy people. How can you make yourself take a bite or a big mouthful? Zheng Lang said again: "Your Majesty, but I heard another message yesterday and felt confused."

"what?"

"Who is important to govern the country or to pacify the world?"

"Zheng Qing makes it clear."

"I have been wandering around the Yellow River for more than two years. I have seen many places. I have made calculations in my mind and considered the national economy. If I follow my plans and do not confine myself to the people, it will take at least four years to manage the river. With four years to buffer, the national economy will not be tight and the people will not have too heavy burdens."

"It's reasonable," said Zhao Zhen.

There is another way to govern the river. No matter how big the project is, you can learn from Yang Guang to force the people to serve the people, regardless of the lives and death of the people. The court only needs to spend a little money. Zheng Lang’s strategy of governing the river can be realized. But in the early Northern Song Dynasty, who dared to do this? Don’t learn from Yang Guang. Even if you send a few fleets to the other side of the ocean to find seeds, Zheng Lang dared not mention it. Learning from Yang Guang is seeking death. In the internal governance, Zheng Lang has never rejected the Northern Song Dynasty, but what is rejected is excessive weakness outside. Zheng Lang said again: "But there seems to be another opportunity now, which can give our dynasty 80% hope to suppress the Xixia. I reflected on the night of the night and didn’t know that controlling the river is as important as suppressing the Xixia, but the country’s economy can only support it."

"Prevent the Western Xia?"

Zheng Lang took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Zhen. After reading it, Zhao Zhen still didn't understand it very much, and hesitated for a while before passing it on. After reading it, everyone looked strange.

Fu Bi said in a daze: "Xingzhi, what does it mean?"

The memorial said something, a erotic thing. I am twelve years old this year, and he got married long ago. Wu Zang Epang borrowed Li Shougui's hand to kill his sister, so he betrothed his daughter to him as the queen.

Last year, Mao Weichang and Gao Huaizheng brought the outside world to the palace continuously, including the news that the Song Dynasty deliberately sent scouts to spread, Liangzha did not dare to take the troops and avenge his father and mother directly, so he had to hold a grudge in his heart. After hearing this, Mozang Epang was very uneasy and found an excuse to kill Mao and Gao. Liangzha held even more grudges, so he did something crazy.

He didn't even touch the daughter of Wuzang Epang, but found Wuzang Epang's daughter-in-law, a woman from the Western Xia Han Dynasty, surnamed Liang. Wuzang Epang's son didn't care at first, what did a twelve-year-old child do? He was very wrong. Li Liangzha really did something, and he had sex so much that his wife was very satisfied. After each time, his wife was in love with her and her face was blushing.

The one who was willing to wear this hat by himself, after all, there were very few people like the Tang Zhongzong. Wuzang Epang's son did not dare to treat Li Liangzha, so he found his father to argue. Wuzang Epang was stunned when he heard this. After thinking for a long time, he said to his son: "You." Isn't it just a woman? There are so many women in the world. Since my nephew is good at this, it is best to be obsessed with the Liang family and become a foolish and incompetent person, and he doesn't have to force usurp the throne. He wanted to be the monarch. The opposition in the country was too loud, and there were three powerful enemies of Tubo, Song and Liao around him, so he tried not to go that point.

The father-in-law didn't care about her husband. Liang's courage became increasingly bold and entered the palace openly, fighting with Li Liangzha day and night.

The memorial is written with this yellow piece of information.

So Zhao Zhen hesitated after seeing it, but I believe that Zheng Lang would not bring a pornographic news to such occasions to promote it. It must be Zheng Lang's intention.

There are many officials and are still continuing to pass down.

Zheng Lang did not answer directly, saying: "In ancient times, Gun used the blocking method, and Yu used the diversion method. At that time, there were few people, and unlike today, neither Gun's method nor Yu's method, it was not suitable for controlling the Yellow River. But the situation is quite similar now, one prevention and control is the root and the control is the surface. Prevention is the damage caused by excessive deforestation and excessive cultivation of nomadism. This is the reason why the Yellow River is getting worse and worse. Your Majesty, all the ministers, you can see how many floods and dam breakages occurred in the Yellow River in the Tang Dynasty? Why did there be so many disasters in our dynasty? Because the water and soil in Guanzhong have been damaged, Hetao was because of the Tang Tai.

The clan arranged the Hu people, which was too nomadic, and the water and soil were also damaged. The Tang Dynasty did not show that our farming and cutting was far better than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the population was denser than that of the Tang Dynasty, so the Yellow River suffered many disasters. Not only now, if it is not cured, the disasters of the Yellow River will become greater in the future." It was a bit abrupt. Everyone was savoring the yellow gossip, and then turned to the Yellow River again. However, many people were frowning. The Yellow River has disasters year after year, and the two major dam breaks have caused countless families to be destroyed and lost their entire family. The court spent a lot of money to revive the disaster. If the disasters in the Yellow River are even greater in the future, how could it be?

Zheng Lang also said: "I think the county officials of various prefectures and counties can lead the people to plant mulberry trees, walnuts, ginkgo, apricot trees, fruit trees and other trees in barren mountains and rivers. In addition, in order to protect the water and soil, we plant grass below to protect the water and soil, which is conducive to the growth of fruit trees. We can also mow grass to raise some livestock and poultry." This may not be necessary. If the grass below grows well, it will protect the water and soil, but in turn will affect the harvest of fruit trees. But now the people are only vague about this. Some Tubo people have long realized the harm caused by excessive deforestation and have conflicted many times due to the Chinese households starting to plough and cut down. However, if they cannot fully understand it, Zheng Lang can be missed. This is very important.

In Zheng Lang's previous life, someone proposed a false proposition about the relationship between the fake American almonds and the Beijing sandstorm. Some profiteers imported a kind of American walnut and sold it to China as big almonds. Originally, many people in the Zhangjiakou area planted a large number of apricot trees to make a living by using almonds for profit, but under the impact of this fake big almond, it was big and cheap, and domestic almonds had no market. The people were blinding and could only cut off these apricot trees. Once the apricot forest was cut, the dust storm in Beijing was raging. How much money can profiteers make from the fake almonds? At most one billion. But how much damage can a sandstorm bring to the country?

It is a false proposition, and there are many reasons for sandstorms. The proportion of cutting apricot forests is extremely small, but it definitely accounts for some.

This is the function of the woods protecting the water and soil.

If Zheng Lang proposes to pass, the lower part can be implemented smoothly, with trees growing on top and dense turf below to protect the water and soil, which will have greater effect.

However, if the government is given guidance, I don’t know what it will become. But no matter how it changes, how many disputes arise, the benign effect is far greater than the inferior effect.

Zhao Zhen also knew that this article would not cost the country. However, in general, it not only protects the soil and water, but also helps the people improve their lives. He said: "Accurate."

"Your Majesty, you have specialties in art. If you want to manage rivers on a large scale, you must have good officials who are proficient in water conservancy. Cheng Shimeng, Tian Yu, Zhou Qing and Wu Tao are proficient in water conservancy, and they have also personally presided over many water conservancy projects. Although the project is very trivial compared to the Yellow River, the water conservancy in Guangdong and Guangxi is more complicated. They have accumulated a lot of experience over the years. Please transfer them back."

"It's also correct. I will discuss with the prime ministers later." Zhao Zhen said.

The four of them went on for several years. They not only had the merits of water conservancy, but also had the merits of governing the people. At the end of last year, the number of households in Guangdong and Guangxi reached 1.5 million, which was very considerable compared with the original ones. Not only did the people increase, but last year, Guangdong and Guangxi also brought more than 10 million yuan in income to the court. This number is quite large, accounting for almost one-tenth of the national income. You should know what Guangdong and Guangxi is, it is poor and deserted! Only one Guangzhou can take advantage of it.

Although it was planned by Zheng Lang, all four of them were suspected of picking peaches, and the credit should not be ignored. It is not for the Yellow River, but it is time to transfer it back.

Everyone did not object. This snack was too big. It was exaggerating to say that 10,000 jobs were at least several thousand jobs waiting to be divided up, and they didn't care that four people were inserted into it.

Zheng Lang also shook his head. Everyone's mentality was very clear. It doesn't matter if they didn't control the river. Once they controlled the river, the distribution of these official positions would be a mess. Then he talked about the serious matter and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Zang Epang is now in a state of power. Li Liang Dare to take the big blame in the world, and with the Liang family... This is an attack of dissatisfaction and resentment towards Wu Zang Epang. Although Wu Zang Epang is beneficial, there are still many people in the Western Xia who support the orthodox royal family. If the minister is not wrong, it takes less than a year or two to take Li Liang Zang Epang to attack Wu Zang Epang. Although he is young, his confidants are of age.

Not small, these trusted ministers wanted not Li Liangzha's plan, but Li Liangzha's attitude. We help Wu Zang Epang, and Wu Zang Epang will win. If he kills the king of Xixia, the people of Xixia will inevitably cause internal conspiracy and division. Our dynasty will abandon the Yellow River for the time being. With the current financial resources, we will send troops to 80% of the opportunity to destroy the Western Xia traitor. But if we want to manage Xixia, we cannot control the Yellow River. The country's financial resources cannot keep up with the people's strength. We can only abandon the great opportunity of Xixia, eradicate the Mo Zang Epang for the king of Xixia and cultivate the foundation."

Many ministers don’t know the inside story and don’t understand it very well.

A few big shots knew very well that there were not many people who knew the specific names of the six high-level scouts, but they knew that these six high-level scouts existed and helped Mozang Epang, so when Mozang Epang and Liangzha were in a life-and-death battle, they should show their performance and establish their position in one fell swoop. The Song Dynasty sent troops to cooperate.

If they do not take action against Xixia for the time being, they will not be able to help Wuzang Epang. If they help each other, the Western Xia has been in turmoil for a period of time. With Wuzang Epang's current wisdom and strength, they will be quickly pacified in a few years. It will be too late for the Song Dynasty to send troops again. It is better to take advantage of the weak power of Li Liangzhao to secretly turn to Li Liangzhao. As the confidants of Wuzang Epang, they suddenly broke out. Wuzang Epang must be unprepared and make extraordinary achievements in one fell swoop, seeking political status, controlling the power of Xixia, and being ready to go.

People who know the inside story can figure it out, but people who don’t know the inside story must be confused.

This is the highest secret of the Song Dynasty. If you know it, no one dares to say it.

"Zhang Chen, Wang Ji and others are old, and Zhang Kang is also seriously ill..." Zhao Zhen hesitated.

Zhang Chen had just died. Zhang Kang asked to retire because he was seriously ill and returned to Puzhou to recuperate. Only after he lost it did he realize the preciousness. Zhang Kang was not only a military general, but also a good at water conservancy. After Zheng Lang left, he almost carried the burden of Jinghu South Road and made great contributions. But because of his fatigue, he finally became tired. Zhao Zhen felt very regretful of losing this minister and gave him the Minister of War, Duke Xue. This was the case and was opposed by many ministers.

Zhang Kang's tragedy is a microcosm, followed by Wang Shao and Guo Kui. Because of Zheng Lang's push, Zhang Kang's ending was far better than in history, and Zheng Lang could only do this.

Zheng Lang also sighed and said, "Your Majesty, but there are still some generals, Zhao Xun, Yang Wenguang, Guo Kui, Zhong Yan, Zhang Yu and others are all good generals, and there is still one person alive at the critical moment. However, I have occasionally had letters with Di Qing. He has been in charge of many years, and he was injured on many sides and had a back cervix. He will have a serious attack in winter. I am also worried that Di Qing will have an accident. If he has an accident, although our dynasty does not lack good generals, he lacks a commander. It will be very difficult to recover Xixia at that time."

No one said anything.

Zheng Lang said that he had special skills and wanted to lead troops to fight, but Di Qing could not even fight. However, many people were a little dissatisfied. Zheng Lang looked into the distance. The man had indeed gone to the northwest, but it was not too early to wait for him to grow up.

He also said: "In the Qingli War, many soldiers who participated in the war had not really grown old yet. They had rich experience in fighting the Xixia army. Once they grew old, the country lacked soldiers with practical experience. Therefore, in my heart, I didn't know how to make a choice."

Then he looked at Zhao Zhen and several big shots.

Is it a country, a world, a Yellow River, or a Western Xia? Please choose. Zhao Zhen and several big men didn't talk to each other. There are two things, no matter which one does, there is a high chance of success. Internal governance is important. But who can ignore the merit of suppressing the Western Xia? Zhao Zhen also thought. Many ministers below don't know the inside story, and they can't make judgments if they don't know the inside story, but the big men knew it, and they struggled and got in a while, and various expressions appeared on their faces.
Chapter completed!
