Zheng Lang talked about the impact of a person's growth environment on his mind. Zhao Zhen would not ask too much. He sighed, it was not because of Ouyang Xiu, but the entire official system of the Song Dynasty. However, what good ways to replace it?

Question: "Zheng Qing, who will replace Ouyang Xiu?"

"Some people have thought about why He Tan is allowed to go? Some people will not rise and fall because of the officialdom."

"It's wonderful." Zhao Zhen said happily.

Although He Tan's reputation is not as famous as Ouyang Xiu, he is also a famous old minister. At least it is more intimidating to the local officials than Tian Yu and other officials.

Zheng Lang said again: "Your Majesty, you cannot underestimate Sima Guang and Wang Anshi."

"I have always wanted to reuse it, but to avoid it..."

"I understand." Zheng Lang said frankly that it is not a scandal to select talents without avoiding relatives and enemies. Besides, the two of them have done a lot. In fact, Zheng Lang has another intention. After more than ten years of officialdom, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi have their own different growth paths, and their thoughts have gradually become serious, which makes Zheng Lang a little worried.

Now we have to gather them together again, one is to do the main business, and the other is to face these wealthy families, let them adjust from the edge through practice and further integrate. With the addition of Su Dongpo, the three of them will not have major conflicts in the future, and half of the biggest crisis in the Song Dynasty will be resolved.

Four years are enough to achieve this goal.

This cannot be said out loud, I am using talents and has nothing to do with anything else.

Zheng Lang said again: "Your Majesty, I want to say one thing. A large number of officials have been withdrawn from Guangdong and Guangxi. They have made more contributions and need to manage the rivers. It is also necessary to withdraw them. However, many vacancy has arisen, and Guangdong and Guangxi still need good officials."

"I asked Yu Jing to go to Guangnan East Road."

"But, he is from Shaozhou, and his hometown is in the hometown. Moreover, Guangnan East Road is developing very fast now, so Yu Jing's appointment is also a good appointment. However, the minister of Guangnan West Road wants to recommend one person."

"who?"

"Zhang Tian."

"He," Zhao Zhen said hesitantly. Bao Zheng's disciple quarreled for a long time.

"This person is upright. It's not what Tang Jie said, and he loves the people and works diligently. However, the Secretary of the Central Committee is not happy to use this person to go to Guangnan West Road to preside over affairs. He is the best candidate."

Bao Zheng has always admired this person and often praised him in front of his wife. So after Bao Zheng died, Mrs. Bao asked him to write an epitaph.

Guangdong and Guangxi are not the original Guangdong and Guangxi, and it will be a while. People’s ideas and concepts cannot be reversed. Go to Guangnan West Road. There will be no disputes in the court, Zhao Zhen’s head.

He asked again: "How was your experiment?"

"Your Majesty, I am a little worried when I heard that Your Majesty was taking pills. That test was done for Your Majesty to see, and it would not take too long. Please do not eat pills before the test results come out."

"Why?"

"Now I say nothing is right. After the experiment, I will send someone to announce the answer to the public."

Zhao Zhen hesitated.

"Please believe me, although I did a bad job in that matter, my personality has not changed, and my heart has not changed. At least I am still loyal to Your Majesty."

"I know, I've always felt wronged." Zhao Zhen patted Zheng Lang's hand.

So Zhao Zhen followed Zheng Lang's opinion. Since Ouyang Xiu was sick, he asked He Tan to replace him, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, Hu Su, and Xiang Chuanshi's deputy.

This industry is still eye-catching, but everyone ignores the Huaihe River.

This time, river management is rare in the world. Not only the Yellow River itself, but also others, such as the encouragement of tree planting in the upper reaches, and even bringing it to the assessment of political achievements of officials. Once officials formally intervene, it will bring many disadvantages.

However, these disadvantages are nothing compared to the protection of water and soil.

This does not require the country to use any money to pay, but only supports some policies. The ones that spend money are the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, but not only the Yellow River, but also the rivers in the south and the north.

In the south, there are not only the Grand Canal and Huai River, but also the Bian River.

The world is concerned about the new canal and the introduction of rivers into the Jia River, but it does not pay attention to a new idea of ​​the Huaihe River project, the division of rivers and lakes!

The management of the Huai River is also very difficult, with many tributaries, which cannot be clarified one by one. The drop is large, and the drop between the Yangtze River and the upper reaches of the Yellow River is even larger. However, it is on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with a small water flow rate and almost no harm. However, the water flow rate of the Huai River is large, and the drop between the two thousand miles of Huai River reaches several hundred meters, which is a result of the harm.

The choke is that in the middle and upper reaches of many tributaries, due to the narrow river channel and the rapid convergence of the tributaries, it is very easy to cause poor flooding and waterlogging after the two ends are raised, which is not obvious now. Once the Yellow River enters the Huai River, it will be obvious. The upper reaches of the Huai River are basically mountain monuments, with large slopes and rapid flow. Due to the years of silt accumulation in the lake, the bottom of the lake is higher than the riverbed, forming an above-ground lake. The situation is similar to the above-ground river in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. Now there is, but not big, so the two Huai Rivers became the best economic area in the Song Dynasty. However, once the Yellow River enters the Huai River, it is too late. Even if there is no Yellow River enters the Huai River, and the Grand Canal uses the Grand Canal to share the Yellow River Flood peak, it will inevitably bring some Yellow River water with high sand content to the south, which also needs to be prevented.

Finally, there are frequent heavy rainstorms, and heavy rains in the Huaihe River Basin are mostly concentrated in five, six, seven or three months. During the flood season, the river water bursts and there is water disaster, and there is a lack of irrigation water during the dry season. Therefore, strange scenes often occur. There is a flood in summer, but a severe drought occurs in winter.

In later generations, whether Pan Jixun or Lefu took a path, directing Huai and Huang, there was no Ji River at that time. If you wanted to raise the Huai River water, you would use the Bian River to flow backwards to accumulate clear water and brush yellow, but you would not succeed. Instead, the Huai River flooded into disasters. Until later generations, you completely denied this theory and directed all the Huai River water into the Yangtze River, or partly into the river, partly into the sea, or all into the sea.

We cannot use all the methods of later generations. At this time, Hongze Lake and Gaoyou Lake were still a few lakes, and the two big lakes had not yet formed. Even Weishan Lake also had not formed.

Different terrain will lead to different governance methods. Once the strategies of river control and Huai River control in later generations are fully adopted, there will be a big mess.

However, after years of experience in water control, even without the experience of later generations, Zheng Lang became the first-class water control master.

So some arrangements were made.

Some steep areas upstream are cleared and even forced to blow out a passage with gunpowder, but only for the main river sections, and if there is no such economy or labor at all.

The downstream is not a wide range of rivers into the sea. Not only is it not a wide range of rivers into the sea, but it is also not a very serious situation. There is no need to complete a new river channel so that the river water can quickly enter the sea and enter the river.

Because once the river water goes south, the sand content of Huai River will inevitably increase. The river water must also be bound to serve as part of the water to flush the sand.

However, the river water flows southward and the increase in the flow of the Huaihe River during the flood season and without auxiliary measures, the Huaihe River will flood again. Therefore, Zheng Lang thought of dividing rivers and lakes.

Pull the river channels open, try to prevent them from passing through each lake, and then set up some sand storage tanks and steep gates. During the flood season, all the steep gates will be opened and flood water will be placed into major lakes to store water and drain water. In spring and autumn, lake water can be used to irrigate and raise the river surface.

Nowadays, the area of ​​lakes in Huainan is not as large as that of later generations. Zheng Lang chose some low-lying areas, some swamps and reed areas, and manually dug out lakes. Some of the silt fertilizes fields, raises the ground, and forms a drop, and some are used to build lake embankments to increase water storage.

You can also maintain the advantage of the gap against the Yellow River and use the situation to flow backwards of the Bian River when the dry water is in dry water. The most severe time of sand accumulation is in dry water. The flow rate is slow, and some of the clear water of orange water enters, plus Ji water, which can dilute and flush.

There is no need to deliberately increase the Bian River embankment. It is used during the dry season, but whether it is the New Canal or the Bian River, it will play an important role. Therefore, the Bian River must also be built, but the scale is very small.

Therefore, this time, river management far exceeds the blockage and diversion of people's ideas and the Huai River flows backwards. It also subverts people's original ideas and concepts. Moreover, once successful, it will not only govern the river, but also manage the Huai River once, which will have no effect on promoting the development of the core area of ​​the Song Dynasty.

This is also the reason why Zheng Lang proposed this huge plan and not many people opposed it. After all, compared with war, the literati and doctors prefer and look at Neizhi more.

The disadvantage is that time is too tight.

Cheng Shimeng has led dozens of officials to take a closer look, but on the other hand, officials of various prefectures have already begun to make arrangements. Judging from the money and silk, it is enough, and they plan to prepare two million laborers. Each laborer works 600 hours. If all of them are used to pick earth, with the current hard work and endurance of the people, they can pick out ten billion cubic cubic meters of soil to pile river embankments, and can pile up super embankments of ten meters long and ten meters long and ten meters long. Of course, it is impossible to use them all to pick earth, each laborer has its own uses.

Money and labor are enough, but mistakes in planning will not only cause disasters, but also cause a lot of waste and delay the completion date. To make the plan perfect, Zheng Lang only watched it for two years, and more people must improve it. On the other hand, the project will start, and the time is very tight.

Zheng Lang had to go down and ask in person.

Before leaving, Cui Xian suddenly said to Zheng Lang: "Official, let's go to Sizhou instead."

"Why?" Zheng Lang was puzzled.

Chuzhou is the most important position for these projects in the south. Although the new canal from south to Yangzhou actually starts not from Yangzhou, but from Chuzhou. The section from Chuzhou to Yangzhou is only renovated, not excavated, but the excavation area starts from Chuzhou. The intersection of the two canals, as well as the Huaihe River entering the sea, Chuzhou is another important hub. Each water storage lake is also the most numerous in Chuzhou.

When you are in Chuzhou, you can take care of both the Xin Canal and the Huai River.

When you arrive in Sizhou, it is too west. You will not stay in a certain place and have to look around. However, staying in Chuzhou is much more convenient than staying in Sizhou.

Cui Xian said: "I just read the "Records of the Grand Historian" written by Sima Qian at home, and suddenly I thought of the deeds of Huaiyin Hou."

Refers to Han Xin.

"Xian'er, you're so careful."

"Aren't you afraid of another Zheng Dizhao?"

Three words, Zheng Lang is speechless.

These three words made him feel resentful. Without it, Di Qing would not return to Beijing and would not serve as Privy Councilor. When he went south, Di Qing had a mental outlook, and his health was better. On that stormy night of the Lantern Festival, he crossed Kunlun Pass strangely, like a miracle.

Can Di Qing do it now?

In fact, Di Qing was not very old, only fifty-one years old. In later generations, it can only be considered late middle age, and even old age is not considered old age.

He tried his best to transfer him to the northwest to avoid the "consolation" of the scholars and officials from time to time, and was less embarrassed, but there must be some blows, and he is still alive, but his temples are pale and his major and minor illnesses are constantly caused by depression.

Not only Di Qing sometimes has troubles or is frustrated, but he also learns from the great monk to sit down cross-legged and recites scriptures silently in his heart. It is not about believing in Buddhism, but about reciting Buddhist scriptures to seek peace of mind. But how many people have their own mentality?

Cui Xian said again: "Officials, you are low-key in your style and are not prone to jealousy and gentle in your work. Sometimes you know that the country has its drawbacks and are afraid of trouble, and do not force them to be enforced. These two things protect the officials well. However, if the Yellow River is properly managed, count the achievements and sum them up carefully. It is no less than Huaiyin Hou. This achievements make it impossible for officials to keep a low profile, and the officials are just staying in Chuzhou, so I am a little scared."

Zheng Lang was silent again.

Pang Ji, the four famous ministers of Jiayou, is closest to him, but he has the least influence and has more enemies.

Fu Bi and Han Qi have the most friends, but Fu Bi has some differences with him, because of his friendship, it seems that the differences are heavy. The actual relationship has not broken down. In addition, Han Qi seems that the differences are not as great as Fu Bi. He has made merits many times, but in fact he is very hostile. There is also a person, Wen Yanbo, let alone, the two of them have officially become enemies.

These people gathered a group of people. They might not come forward to do anything, but their subordinates would cater to them and do some bad things secretly.

Of course, there is a group of people under his command. But I don’t want to do things together. Why fight around? What Zheng Lang hates the most is fighting in the nest. Otherwise, with Zheng Lang’s current reputation, countless ministers will gather under his banner. But it may not be a good thing. The contribution is great, and countless ministers gather to agree. What do you want to do?

Zheng Lang didn't do it, Cui Xian thought about this, but she didn't figure it out, that would be more beneficial to her husband.

God knows if anyone will use Han Xin to make trouble for themselves?

It is relatively better to go to Sizhou.

He said, "Then go to Sizhou."

Zheng Lang changed the state, not him, but it meant that the general command center for river management was also changed. So the Secretary of the Secretariat asked the whole story, and Zheng Lang was not polite and told him about his concern.

Several prime ministers were dumbfounded.

But they really don’t have much to say. Zheng Dizhao’s demon moths have all come out. How can Zheng Lang be unprepared for one move?

When the incident spread, the people did not know that they were agreeing with Zheng Lang's care or being dissatisfied with some people.

Finally leaving, then the experiment started.

Feed the meatballs.

People in the Qing Dynasty kneaded opium and Song Dynasty kneaded. Many people kneaded stalactites like Xia Shu, just like people in the Jin Dynasty kneaded five stones. Some people kneaded small balls.
