It was finally dawn.

Dutang Zheng Lang was still talking, but there was chaos outside.

In particular, the officials of the Sanya gathered the army, and the officials of Zhongshu and Kaifeng Prefecture forcibly requisitioned civilian ships, causing great confusion.

In fact, if there is no intrigue, this court is really good now, whether it is Zheng Lang or Pang Ji, Wen Yanbo, Wang Yaochen, they are all first-class talents.

It is Ye Qingchen, the new third envoy, as well as Zhang Fangping, Zeng Gongliang and other Hanlin bachelors, who are also first-class talents.

Yanchen Gao Ruone, He Tan and others also dared to speak.

To be able and talented, to speak and have words.

Looking at this team, it is like the luxurious Real Madrid football team in later generations, but when combined together, how many talents will be exerted, that is Zheng Lang's ability.

Many officials don't know what to do with grace and power, but they are forced to do it spontaneously, on the one hand, they use Zheng Lang to kill without forgiveness, and on the other hand, they persuade that human life is a matter of heaven, and you should do good deeds on your ship. The businessmen were dissatisfied, but the four words of human life warmed all the people.

There was still a long talk in the palace.

"Your Majesty, do you remember what Cheng Shimeng did in Hedong the year before last?" Zheng Lang asked.

This is another amazing official.

If it is said that Ouyang Xiu can score 60 to 65 points and barely pass, then Xu Yuan and Cheng Shi Meng can score 85 points. However, Xu Yuan is good at transporting, and Cheng Shimeng is partial to water conservancy, and the two of them can score 95 points in this partial item. Ouyang Xiu left a drunkard pavilion built by himself, but Cheng Shimeng did not, but where he passed, the people of Hong, Fu, Guang, Yue and other states spontaneously set up a shrine for him! Zheng Lang is already good at politics, and after leaving office, he will only set up a shrine in Taiping Prefecture, while Hangzhou and Enzhou are the ancestral halls that were established after hesitating for a few months, and Weizhou has not yet been established because there are too many dead people. You can see its good governance!

But there is no one in the court, so it is fluttering. So much so that future generations did not know that there was this good official in the annals of the Song Dynasty.

"Cheng Shimeng, I know, what did he do in Hedong?" Zhao Zhen asked blankly.

This person is the son of an official eunuch, and he is a jinshi in the same year as Zheng Lang. Because of his talent, he was promoted quickly, and in a few years, he successively served as Zhinan Kangjun, Chuzhou Zhizhou, and Tidian Kuizhou Road Prison. The Rong people of Luzhou repeatedly violated the border of Chongqing, and the prison envoy was located in Wanzhou, which is far away from Yuzhou and has many mountain roads, and the news often arrives a day later. Cheng Shi Meng Zuo asked to move the administrative office to Yuzhou. It is Yuzhou Nai'an.

This is for now, Luzhou Rong will invade in the future, and it will not be peaceful until the Song Dynasty uses troops against Luzhou. There is no Changping storage grain in Kuizhou, and Cheng Shimeng suggested setting up a permanent warehouse, which is the nature of a state warehouse. coincided with the disaster year, and the relief of the victims' warehouses was insufficient, so Shi Meng immediately violated the regulations and released the warehouses.

It is not within his remit. If they did not report it, the officials in charge were very afraid and objected to it. Cheng Shimeng said that if it could only be opened after it was reported and approved, the hungry people would have died long ago. So the victims lived.

As a result, when he encountered the best era of the feudal dynasty, Zhao Zhen heard about it, not only was he not surprised, but he appreciated it very much, and transferred him to Hedong Road to serve as a prison envoy.

However, Zheng Lang pointed out that Cheng Shimeng, but Zhao Zhen did not know.

Zheng Lang said: "Shimeng is in the east of the river, and the east of the river is mountainous, and there are many earth mountains. These mountains can be planted with mulberry and hemp fruit trees, but in spring and summer, when the rainy season comes, the water comes from the mountains, carrying a lot of sediment, just like the Yellow River. The people call it Tianhe. ”

The ministers all sighed.

Zheng Lang didn't say that it was difficult for anyone to have advanced thoughts, thinking of the deterioration of water and soil caused by the destruction of greening, but after mentioning it, these people are the top figures, and they can still understand. It is precisely this hundreds of millions of heavenly rivers that make the Yellow River an above-ground river, and disasters continue to occur.

"These days, part of the river rushes into the tributaries of the Yellow River, and part of it settles down in various valleys, Cheng Shimeng passed by Jiangzhou, saw this phenomenon, and persuaded the villagers of Nandong Village, Zhengping County, to buy land and open canals, and lead the water of Mabi Valley to irrigate, so that more than 500 hectares of barren land have become fertile soil, and the original yield per mu is only five to seven buckets, and after treatment, the yield per mu reaches two to three shuo." …,

One Shuo and ten buckets, compared with stone, one is a unit of mass, the other is a unit of capacity, the two are almost equivalent, if it is wheat, Shuo is a little more, sorghum will be a little less, and rice will be more. Approximately quite.

Zhao Zhen said: "Hurry up and get the archive." ”

It's not that he really doesn't care about things, but he doesn't like to toss, and he hands over political affairs to the ministers, so it seems that he is inactive.

But if you really don't act, with the many disasters and difficulties of the Zhao Zhen Dynasty, how can you become the best Chenguang of the Song Dynasty?

Understands everything.

Five or seven buckets to two or three shuo, almost more than three times, Zheng Lang said simply, but Zhao Zhen also knew that it would not cost much money, but this was five hundred hectares, a thousand chunwei, how many people were waiting at that time, how much manpower was used, and it was only a little more than a thousand hectares.

I was depressed, why didn't I pay attention to this?

What about the possible attention one by one?

The year before last, Jia Changchao was in the court, with Jia Changchao's ability, how could he have the vision to see the meaning of this?

Zhao Zhen wanted to see the archive, and Zheng Lang simply drank tea.

Speaking of which, my throat is a little dry.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zheng Lang with some gratitude, and at this time he suddenly felt the feeling that Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang, Fu Jian met Wang Meng, Qi Huan met Guan Zhong, and King Wen of Zhou met Jiang Ziya. If it weren't for the presence of other ministers, he would have wanted to say: "I got the Qing, and I am like a fish in water." ”

He said to the other eunuch, "Prepare breakfast." ”

"Whoa."

The rain outside gradually stopped, but the sky was hazy, the morning breeze was howling, looking at the weather outside, Zhao Zhen's eyes were full of worry again.

In terms of efficiency, there has never been a time in the history of the Song Dynasty that the two governments have such a rapid disaster relief efficiency. When the newspaper arrived, the disaster relief regulations were issued. But there is a time difference, the water level of the Yellow River is the highest point in the past, and the breach is so big, how many people were drowned by the flood this night, Zhao Zhen can't imagine.

Archive to take.

Zhao Zhen looked at it, and if there was such a thing, it was possible that Cheng Shimeng was just a whim, and even he ignored its significance, and he didn't want to boast, so he said lightly, so he reported to the capital, and almost everyone was negligent.

If Zheng Lang didn't mention the Yellow River, Zhao Zhen would be negligent if he looked at it again. But after mentioning it, he already vaguely felt its significance, put it down, looked at Zheng Lang and said, "Zheng Qing, continue to speak." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister said earlier that Jingshi can be governed. That's the policy. From Hedong to Gyeonggi Road, as well as Hebei Road, there are many places that are barren land, and there are many saline-alkali lands. In addition to planting mulberry and hemp, if you plant crops, it is the place of chicken ribs, the income of planting is not high, often an acre of land is less than one stone a year, and it is a pity not to plant. In fact, Cheng Shimeng's method has been expanded, and it is a policy to govern the land and the river. Divide these lands. Every few hundred hectares are set up on various hills and mounds, as long as the dikes are set up on the hills and low hills, not necessarily regardless of their size, there will not be too much labor. When the river flood is large, set up a bucket gate to release water, or directly dig a dike to release water, discharge the flood pressure water potential, and wait until it is level. There are no rapids, and the break or the door is closed with the bucket, allowing the sun to evaporate the vapor. The fertile silt of the river will settle down, and the saline land will also wash away its salinity content. When the river recedes, use a bucket gate or break the embankment again to drain the water potential. When it evaporates in winter, all the water in the enclosure evaporates, but all the silt accumulates, and the barren land will become fertile land. The first is to be able to control the river, and the second is to produce more fertile land. This is the second policy of the minister to temporarily control the river. ”

It won't do much, but it will do some relief.

But there is a collateral effect, and this collateral role is even far greater than the role of river control. That is to improve arable land.

Wang Anshi used this strategy to get 80,000 hectares of fertile land from the Bianhe River, and 40,000 hectares of fertile land from the Yellow River, Hutuo River, Zhanghe River and Yuhe River flowing north of Hebei, 120,000 hectares of fertile land, 12 million mu, and more than 20 million stones of grain in a year! …,

Therefore, Shen Kuo said a very fair word. Between the deep and Cangying, but the big river, Hutuo, and Zhangshui are silted, and the party is a beautiful field, and the siltation is not to, all of which are repulsive and can not be planted.

In particular, Hebei Road and North Road are the most obvious, because the terrain is low, the sea water is often injected, and most of them are brine land, which cannot be cultivated, but once this method is improved, the haloalkali is reduced, and then covered with thick silt, which is a beautiful field. The contrast between the two is striking.

Opposition leader Su Zhe also had to admit that the Yellow River was silted up and the benefits of the wheat were ten times higher than that of other fields.

The yield is three or four times greater, but the same area, the same seeds, fertilizers, and labor are needed, and the harvest is ten times higher!

In fact, Wang Anshi's change of law is really good in many aspects, but it is a pity that the foundation of the Song Dynasty is too weak, Wang Anshi is too anxious, and the main direction is for the country, collecting wealth for the country, resulting in many aspects not doing well, so that he failed and could not realize his wishes, but it caused party strife, which made Zheng Lang often think about it and sigh very much.

It's really simple to say.

But why didn't anyone think of it?

Zhao Zhen and several prime ministers looked at each other.

Wang Yaochen was happy in his heart, fortunately Zheng Lang escaped from the Khitan, and with Zheng Lang's whimsical ideas, it was enough for him to serve as the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty. The Khitans say that he is an enlarged version of Guan Zhong, but that's it.

Zhao Zhen said: "Accurate." ”

Then he said, "Write another detailed note." ”

You can't just be accurate, there are many details.

"Whoa." Zheng Lang replied: "This is the next move, the top priority, or the case of the Yellow River bursting its banks." The terrain of Lanzhou was originally higher than the sea, and the terrain of Hebei to the north was getting lower and lower, and the flood went northeastward, surging endlessly, and even the embankment could not be blocked without waiting for the water to go down. ”

Zhao Zhen was gloomy.

Now it is impossible to talk about how to govern it, and we can only watch the Yellow River flow to Cangzhou or the Khitan side, and if we want to control it, we can only wait until after autumn, and at least we have to see it flow for three or four months. How many fertile fields were flooded? How many people have died?

"Therefore, the minister thought that the advance right was sent to the household department, and the judge Yan Du was in charge of the river in Lanzhou."

Quan Fa is a new word, Yan Du evil rectification of the gentleman party, Wang Gongchen looked relieved, and proposed to let Yan Du Quan Household Judge, but because of his shallow qualifications, it was named Quan Fa Fa, anyway, the officials of the Song Dynasty are becoming more and more redundant, the rights are becoming more and more stacked, and the official titles are becoming more and more eccentric. led to a very messy consequence, now Zheng Lang's authority is unclear, there are many aspects he can't figure out whether it is within the scope of his jurisdiction, and there are stupid officials who can't figure out what his official position is used for.

But after Zheng Lang finished speaking, almost everyone stared at him together.

Zheng Lang and the Junzi Party are not all the way, but they regard themselves as gentlemen, even before they have a bad relationship with Xia Zhu, they get along very lightly, on the contrary, the few friends who are in the party may not be the Junzi Party, but they are all loyal gentlemen. Because of his conduct, he is very disgusted with characters like Yan Du.

Why do you recommend Yandu?

Zhao Zhenhu asked suspiciously: "What can Yan Du do?" ”

Could it be that like Cheng Shimeng, he is also a talent that he ignores?
