At that moment, it seemed as if there was a connection between him, and Zhao Zhen felt a little painful in his heart.

"Father," Zhao Niannu supported Zhao Zhen.

"Nu Nu, I'm fine," Zhao Zhen stood up and stared into the distance. If it weren't for his daughter, Zhao Zhen would have vaguely regarded Zheng Lang as a good friend and good brother, although one surnamed Zheng and one surnamed Zhao, one surnamed Zhao, one surnamed Jun, and the other was a minister. He had a broad mind and tolerance enough and had enough wisdom to judge.

Pang Ji and Fu Bi looked at each other, a little envious, but envy was useless. If you had no choice, you would not be able to do this step in Zheng Lang. You just didn't have the wisdom to do so many earth-shaking things.

Zhao Zhen stroked his hand and said, "I can't see it at last."

"Father, Mr. Zheng only went down to manage the river, not in Lingnan, and often returned to Beijing."

"Your Highness is right," Pang Ji also comforted.

"You don't understand. I was still young before. At that time, Empress Dowager Zhang Xian had just passed away. When I heard about Empress Dowager Zhang Yi, I was often unhappy. Zheng Qing went to the palace to play the piano for me. I said you want to be a charming minister. Zheng Qing said that I don't want to be a charming minister, but my personality cannot be a loyal minister. I just want to be a good minister. I play the piano for Your Majesty, to play the piano for a good emperor in the future, not to please Your Majesty. I asked me again, are you ready for an emperor?"

Zhao Zhen leaned against the railing and grew old. When he was old, he liked memories. When he recalled the beginning, a gentle Wei Qiang appeared on his face.

"I didn't understand at that time, and Zheng Qing didn't understand at that time, but I often thought of him as old-fashioned as ever, and I wanted to laugh. The question was very accurate, but I didn't know the meaning, and then all kinds of things happened to realize the difficulty of being an emperor. Then he played the piano with me and talked about the principle of governing the country. In fact, he also thought it was simple at that time, but it was not easy, so it was a little bigger. It really allowed me to learn a lot of knowledge. At that time, I thought that when he was a little older, I would leave him by my side and carry it on my side. Unexpectedly, I went down to this moment. Over the past twenty years, the tenth ** have been floating in the states and prefectures below. I feel guilty."

"Fuqing, I heard that he avoided Chuzhou."

"There is such a thing. Because of Han Xin in the past, Zheng Lang was afraid that others would release rumors, so he went to Sizhou instead."

"Whether Han Xin has a rebellion is subject to dispute. Moreover, it is very inconvenient to stay in Sizhou to handle affairs. Issuing an edict to ask the officials of Chuzhou to prepare a house for Zheng Qing without being too extravagant. I guess Zheng Qing is not happy either. He can stay at the Zheng family and go to Zheng Qing to pass an edict. He will go to the dock to pass the imperial edict to Chuzhou. If anyone uses Han Xin in Chuzhou to do his work, I will ask questions strictly. Even if I do my work in secret, I will investigate it strictly to the end."

"Here."

"He is not very happy about fame and fortune, this is one thing I can do for him."

"Here."

However, Zhao Zhen still stood on the city tower and refused to go for a long time.

Zheng Lang slowly moved south, and many people cheered and said that the opportunity to make a fortune came, and it was the national wealth that was made. More than 200 million yuan of money was exchanged for silver, and tens of thousands of carriages had to be pulled. So much money, if you share a penny, you would become rich.

Then the question arises.

It is not only water conservancy, but mainly local disputes.

The first is the land of the Grand Canal. In fact, the new transportation will be reopened to play an important role, not only navigation and regulating river water, but also irrigation. Many wastelands will become fertile fields due to the appearance of the Grand Canal. The new canal will last more than 1,000 miles, and the encroached arable land area will reach 600,000 to 800,000 mu. However, the newly released arable land is enough to make up for the losses of these arable land, and it also turns many poor fields into fertile fields. In terms of farming, it will only benefit the imperial court, but not harm.

But it cannot be adjusted on the spot.

For objective reasons, the new farmland may not be near the occupied farmland, and most people are reluctant to leave their hometowns. Just look at Jiangnan and find out that there is so much farmland in Guangdong and Guangxi waiting for the people to cultivate, but some tenant farmers still rent other people's fields to live, which is because they are unwilling to leave their hometown.

The subjective reason is that it cannot be adjusted.

When the Yellow River comes, it is completely shattered. It is a natural disaster, and no one can blame anyone. However, the construction of rivers in the imperial court is different. Or it is a feudal dynasty, which can be moved forcibly, urban management can be set up, and bulldozers can be used. However, careful analysis is not the same thing. The bulldozers dare to shovel the farmers to death, but dare to shovel the houses of the town chiefs and town chiefs? Although the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty were more open-minded, they did not dare to. Not to mention that the town chiefs and town chiefs dared not provoke them, ordinary officials did not dare to do too much. This is the real early Northern Song Dynasty.

True farmers, that is, households of third, fourth and fifth grades, are relatively easy to satisfy, without power or power. Except for a very small number of rascals, most farmers will accept it as long as they are properly adjusted. This group of farmers will be replaced by land.

However, more than 70% of them are the land of the main household, which shows that the annexation has reached an outrageous level.

These people are rich and powerful, and are the least easy to deal with. If they are regulated and greedy, they can beat officials to death, and all kinds of ugly things will happen. Therefore, Zheng Lang proposed two solutions. The first is to exchange land for land, and the second is to exchange future bank regulatory stocks.

It is not to give the stocks, but to use the land as a price to make the first batch of stocks in the future.

Ping An Supervision and Contract Stocks were sold out and were hyped up by the banknotes. So the second batch of bank Supervision and Contract Stocks were stolen. However, considering the investors' returns and future credibility, the court only used it as a stock price of 40 million yuan, but still needed 80 million yuan, which is 100% of the stocks for 120 million yuan.

Many hot money left can only be ordered, first served, and the latter will be refunded one by one before going.

It’s still early to have money, but because of nervousness, it may not work early. There must be a black box. This stock contract is to use it as the first batch of stock purchases when the bank increases its stocks in the future.

The land price is also fair. Zheng Lang acquiesced and allowed the relevant land price to rise by 20% in the surrounding area to

If you are relaxed above, you will be more relaxed below, and the final increase will exceed 50%. And using He Tan is a very subtle move.

Wang Chuo and the three tigers in Jiangdong came over, and they were just and tough, and they had to make a big mess in the end. He Tan was considered a straightforward minister in the court, but his family came from a wealthy family and often spoke from the standpoint of the powerful. This is also the reason why he opposed Fan Xiang's implementation of the salt solution.

When using He Tan to implement policies, he will be slightly softer and tend toward wealthy families. This is not afraid of this, but what he is afraid of is that his appearance is different, that is the worst thing.

Even if it is biased, it is enough to be consistent with the outside and the outside, which will reduce contradictions and conflicts.

No matter how biased he is, he dare not do it too much, nor can he stop the court from building rivers. Ouyang Xiu may not be able to do it, but He Tan can do it.

Therefore, this land price will not only exceed 50% of the actual land price, but will eventually expand the area to more than 50% of the actual area.

The court seemed to have suffered a loss. There was no fact, and another pit was buried in the middle. The bank supervision will be expanded sooner or later, and the next step will be expanded to most prefectures in the country. Except for a few states that have poor control in the court, almost every prefecture will set up a supervision.

How many years have passed, and once the scale is so large, officials must be more familiar with bank affairs. There is a period of training. At least ten years later, the interest in the middle will make up for the gap.

But the people don’t know that there is another investment problem. The larger the scale of the bank supervision, the lower the return ratio. When the 100% stocks are in stock, the highest peak is almost close to 30 million yuan in a year, and at least more than 20 million yuan. When the 30% stocks are in stock, the scale is huge and more popular, but the return ratio begins to decline, with a one-year return of less than 50 million yuan. Some people can see that, but it is still considerable, at least better than investing in arable land.

Moreover, under Zheng Lang's repeated publicity, the image of the Kentian was not very good. The land itself was controversial, and now it is to make up for the losses. If you encounter a tough minister like Wang Ding and don't pay any money, what can you do? There will be a lot of trouble, but the country wants to manage the river and dig it.

Banking stocks are very attractive.

Make it soft.

Still not satisfied. A family surnamed Cao thought the land price given by the imperial court was too low. He was the clan leader of the Cao family. He took the Cao family up and down to the construction site and refused to dig it. He wanted to dig it unless he dig it out. Who dared to dig it? If he really dig it, tomorrow's impeachment memorial will be filled with snowflakes floating in the sky.

Upon hearing the news, Zheng Lang arrived at the scene on the third day and personally saw hundreds of acres of fertile land in the family, both good and bad. The barren land was priced at one crane, and the good land was priced at three and a half cranes. It cannot be compared with the capital, but here it is considered a high price.

So Zheng Lang rode his horse to more than ten miles away, avoiding these troublemakers asking about the local land prices. The same hemorrhoid land was only 500 cents, and the fertile land was only 2 coins. But because of this money, thousands of migrant workers were stuck for three days.

Zheng Lang ordered the soldiers to arrest all the troublemakers, and sent three serious offenders to the Killing Island, not too far from here, but local people also called Shamen Island a Killing Island. Seven serious offenders were assassinated and were granted the Cangzhou Prison City. All the rest were beaten or cannoned.

All the lands were confiscated.

If the money given is unfair, you can cause trouble. If you give too much, you will cause trouble, block the progress of the imperial court in river management and drag down thousands of civilians for three days. When will you not be punished?

The punishment must be skipped, which is a killing warning to a hundred people.

Similar things happen almost every day.

Not only did the canal cause many storms, but Xinhu also had new lakes.

Huainan Road is not like Jiangdong, and fields are built in the lake, called piers. There are piers or enclosed fields, not many, the land is divided into high and low, and those with high slopes will not be too high, small soil slopes, mulberry plants, hemp planting, and rice planting in the subplain zone. There are also many low-lying areas where the pier is not worth the money, so they rely on the sky to harvest. Some people plant crops. If the water in the Huai River is not very large during the flood season, it will become high-yield fields. If the water in the Huai River is huge, it will be owned by one yuan. There are also a large number of swamps and reed fields, mostly deserted, and a few people plant some water shield to subsidize their household expenses.

Huainan Road is very different from the terrain of later generations. There are not many large lakes now. If you want to store water, you must dig many low-lying areas into lakes.

In fact, this will be more helpful to arable land. After a large amount of lake mud is dug up, the silt will pile up the depressions and become the first-class fertile land. It seems that the area of ​​arable land will decrease, and the actual output will far exceed the original output. However, a new problem is coming.

Zheng Lang deliberately did not say it in advance, and it became even worse if he said it.

If you don’t say it beforehand, no one will sprinkle some seeds randomly. This is my land for clearing wasteland. The Song Dynasty clearly stipulates that after the land is opened, the landlords will be paid for the landlords, and they will be exempted from taxes for several years. Then the court will pay slowly.

Now I know, but now it’s autumn, what should I plant? Should I sprinkle winter wheat into the swamp?

But after going down, many people shamelessly said that this is my water shield field, my reed field, and God knows that these reeds have grown here for hundreds of years.

Some poor households rely on lakes and lakes to make a living, but more of them are blackmail. All of this is gone. The real crops are calculated and the fields are exchanged for fields. Then the cultivated land accumulated by the silt is re-divided and handed over to the fourth and fifth-class households.

If you are absolutely sure that you can really dig up fertile fields and deal with them inverted according to the canal strip.

Some people will inevitably be dissatisfied, and there will be disputes if they don’t agree.

After going down, officials spent almost most of their time either on water conservancy, but on these lands. It is not a big deal that local officials were dereliction of duty, and local officials were also dizzy about this land. Zheng Lang specially used these things to teach Sima Guang and Wang Anshi another lesson.

If you can't learn from Ouyang Xiu, you will be unable to manage the country without a large country, and you won't even be able to collect taxes. You have to see their greedy side, which is told to Sima Guang. But they are indeed powerful and powerful. If you can make trouble, you have to learn what methods to deal with it. This is told to Wang Anshi. A water conservancy will make them more mature. In Zheng Lang's mind, these two people are probably more important than the river control project. If they get better, the Song Dynasty will be at least half better, and the Song Dynasty will be half worse.

And the two have really stood out, but Zhao Zhen deliberately did not reuse it in order to protect himself. But it is a matter of time to reuse it.

In addition, he handed over Xiao Su to them, but the meaning was very clear. This is your junior brother, you should take them well and teach them well. However, Xiao Su was very distressed. A few months later, he secretly responded to Zheng Lang. He was very confused. The two had two different political ideas, kind-hearted, and wanted to take care of the junior brother, so they desperately instilled that Xiao Su made the two of them stupid.

The following disputes also spread to the court.

No one makes a sound for the time being.

The weather this year is better. From the winter before Zhao Zhen was sick, it has been very cold in recent years, including last winter. However, since the fourth year of Jingyu, that is, from this winter, there will be no cold winter in several years. Not only will this year, there will be no cold winter in the next few years, Zheng Lang knows, but there is no need to say it

It is not necessarily necessary to have a warm winter. As long as it is not a cold winter, the Northern Song Dynasty is still in the overall warm winter environment, which will extend the construction time in winter, especially in Huainan, where the winter break time will be shortened to half a month, and with the absence of the festival, the work break will not exceed one month.

Although the construction location is not as dense as Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan West Road, it can be regarded as a relatively densely populated area in the Song Dynasty. The population of the prefectures passed by the construction is close to one million households. If the people from the neighboring states are added and the people in the Bian River Basin and the capital city are added, it will reach more than two million households.

This is what Zheng Lang calls labor.

Without a dense population, there is not enough labor for construction. Even if the people in nearby areas, such as Chuzhou, can be transferred to Sizhou for support, it cannot be considered as support. During winter breaks, if the family does not have much work, they can still obtain an additional income through labor. However, the people in Chizhou cannot be transferred to Sizhou. The distance is too long and the consumption is serious, and the finances will be tight, and it will not be very convenient for the people to go back and forth by themselves.

I was still watching at the beginning, but the construction of the whole August has not started and the plan has not been fully confirmed. It was not officially completed until the end of September, but I was still watching. Some of the projects that were set to be started first. This inspection will not be settled until the arrival of next autumn.

At first, there was not a lot of labor. The people gradually finished the autumn harvest, and all winter wheat and rapeseed were planted, and labor gradually increased. In addition to the organization of officials, the peak of labor reached more than 1.4 million, which was almost the same as when Yang Guang built the Grand Canal.

It is not the peak period, and once the northern project starts, the number of labor may double.

Money and silk are like flowing water.

At this time, it was just some of the main households who caused trouble, and it was undoubtedly a mantis mantis armed and overestimating his own abilities.

Zheng Lang's approach was also very gentle. In addition to a few severe punishments that caused severe punishment, he still handled conflicts in various places with a gentle attitude, which made it difficult for some opposing people to make excuses.

Unexpectedly, a small Cao family brought some trouble to Zheng Lang.

The Cao family is not the Cao family of Empress Cao, and the Cao family is a Zhending family. The two families have no relationship for eight lifetimes. However, Zhending Cao is now extremely prominent. I don’t know that the two families have actually formed a relationship and cannot be described for eighteen lifetimes. Can they be described for eighteen lifetimes? Still not. I just gave some gifts to accept one of the Cao family’s managers, so I came back to promote it, and we two Cao recognized each other.

Empress Cao didn't know about this.

The head of the Cao family sent it to Shamen Island. The Cao family was anxious and fought with each other and sent some generous gifts to the Cao family in Zhending. But without saying the incident, he briefly glanced and complained that the officials were not handling it properly. It was obvious that other people's land was compensated for five yuan per mu, but why did we only compensate three yuan? Is the Cao family inferior to others and have an opportunity to instigate?

Furthermore, they did not ask for compensation, but only wanted to get the person back from Shaman Island. When Manager Cao heard this, he accepted a generous gift and thought that it would be successful if he could save someone, so he agreed.

But I didn't expect to get into trouble.

Zheng Lang had long anticipated this, and did not expect another Cao family to come to catch people, but expected that someone would come to catch people by entrusting relationships. Not only the Cao family, in order to act as a deterrent, nearly a hundred people were exiled, arrested people in front and released them later, and the court lost its prestige, and there would inevitably be more disputes below. Therefore, no matter who was sent to Shaman Island or Cangzhou prison, as long as anyone who came to plead for water conservancy, no one would be allowed to release them.
To be continued...
