Chapter 245: United, Done!
Ask now, who can answer?
A big guy looked at these twists and turns with great depression, and thought in his heart, fortunately, these state governments reported the matter, otherwise Taiping Prefecture would have changed the world and the moon, and his own prime ministers didn't know, wouldn't it be a serious dereliction of duty?
And it seems that Zheng Jiazi has this meaning!
guessed about the same, since there is Zhao Zhen's edict and Zheng Lang has the right to open the Wei, why not make a fortune in a muffled voice. If you want to report it, you must wait until next year's autumn harvest is coming up, and report the matter again, when the wood is already in the boat, and it is impossible for anyone to restrain it.
Who would dare to stop it now?
Glancing at each other, Song Shou said, "Go and meet Your Majesty." ”
Now that Zhao Zhen can't be seen in the two mansions, he has lost his sharpness.
Pang Ji's impeachment, his words were extremely mean, and Zhao Zhen was a little displeased after seeing it, after all, Shang Meiren was involved. But Fan Yan really didn't do much about this, if he was a big plan, what would he do with this bit of silver? It's not a shame on you, it's a shame on me. Urgently recall Fan Wei to confront him.
The two argued, and Li Di personally judged that Pang's performance was untrue. Li Di didn't know how serious the matter would be, Fan Wei was his old friend for many years, why didn't he help? And it was confirmed that Fan Yan was really immoral, far more dangerous than the second child scolding Fan Wei.
But he neglected one thing, if it was really not true, Pang Ji dared to move the people like this? Keep it on! Since it was a false accusation, Pang Ji was driven out of the Yushitai and released as a magistrate.
Li Di neglected one more thing, Pang's official position is not high, but this big opportunity, can someone not seize it? Lu Yijian secretly made a move, and it was very stable and secretive, with his secret support, Pang's strength was revived, and he was dissatisfied with the book again, and Li Di was shielded.
The quarrel made Zhao Zhen helpless, so he had to send Huai, the southern transfer envoy Huang Zong, Tidianhe, and Zhang Song from the North Prison to personally complicate it.
These few hundred taels of silver finally caused a huge tragedy, and even caused the whole country to slide into an abyss in an unknown place.
Everything, no one knows at the moment.
Then another good show was played out again.
A big businessman surnamed Chen in Shou and Zhou, with a family fortune of millions of yuan, others are so poor that there is only money left, and he is so poor that there are only rare treasures left, not money, not gold, and he has long been out of his eyes. So donating an official, it's not difficult, it's not easy, and now the phenomenon of buying an official is not serious, but it's nothing to these super-rich.
He did another thing, his daughter was very beautiful, look, who to marry? Thinking about his family wealth again, he feels that there is no one in the world who is worthy of his daughter, and there is only one person who is worthy of him, the emperor.
began to operate, using a network of relationships composed of countless money, which not only made her daughter suddenly parachuted into the palace, but also let Zhao Zhen see it with her own eyes and liked it very much.
It's almost a miracle, this miracle actually made him do it, and almost made him a national ruler.
Seeing Sister Chen, Zhao Zhen fell in love at first sight again, related to his surname, he was trained to be the crown prince since he was a child, and he had no brothers, and he lost his family affection, love, coquettishness, play and other child privileges since birth. There are some sons who read with the children of their relatives, which shows that he strictly maintains the distance between the Chu River and the Han Dynasty. This is also the reason why he was very happy when he looked at Zheng Lang. But on the contrary, it is also the reason why he likes Wang Mengzheng's daughter, Yang Meiren, Shang Meiren, and now Sister Chen, and later Sister Zhang.
Zhao Zhen thought about it, so many things happened, mainly because he was not the queen, so he opened the "Hundred Leaves Map" in the palace, which is a reference book for choosing a good day and auspicious when choosing a mate. But he hadn't been proud for long, Song Shou came over, recited last year's very long "Edict of the Abolition of the Queen" word for word, and then asked: "Your Majesty, what does it mean to seek virtue and rule internally?" ”
You have promised that you must ask for a woman from the nobles in order to be established, how can you ask for the daughter of a merchant's family!
Zhao Zhen was a little confused: "Song Qing, how do you remember such a long edict?" ”
Song Shou glared and said, "Your Majesty, that's what the minister wrote." ”
“……”
What does Song Shou mean, Zheng Lang is not sure, maybe he looks down on the daughter of a businessman, and the other may be protection, can't stand, even if you stand, you can't protect Sister Chen, maybe that day he will be pulled on the ox cart again, and he will be dragged out of the palace, causing a lot of right and wrong. You have to find the daughter of a strong family, such as the Cao family, the daughter of the Cao family, and what minister and eunuch will drag her out of the palace at every turn?
It really can't go on like this, the entire court has been fighting bloody battles for the harem for the past two years, making countless ministers bleed, miserable.
Song Shou spoke, and the other ministers made peace together.
Zhao Zhen's head was so noisy that his head was dizzy, and in desperation, he ran away, grandma's, I'm afraid that you can't do it, run to the inner palace, close the door, enjoy yourself, open the "Hundred Blinds", there is an example for his reference, adoptive mother!
If you don't agree, I will secretly do this in the deep palace, what can you do with me? No matter how bad it is, Sister Chen is still the daughter of a businessman, which is stronger than her adoptive mother who remarries and sings a folk drum.
Can you hide from it?
Yan Wenying's godson Yan Shiliang walked in and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" ”
"What are you going to say?"
"Your Majesty, do you know what the position of the envoy of the city is?"
"What do you mean?"
"This position is the janitor of the minister...... "How do you become the janitor of the minister's house?" The meaning is almost the same, it is the official of the envoy and the guard, but Yan Shiliang misinterpreted, the taste is completely different, it is the watchdog and slave of the minister's family, with this argument, Yan Shiliang continued: "The father of the Chen family donated this official, if Your Majesty makes the Chen family the queen, where is the minister of the minister, where is your Majesty yourself, where is the ancestors and ancestors?" ”
With just one sentence, Zhao Zhen's body softened. His grandfather can be dressed in imperial robes, and his grandfather can come to a candlelight axe shadow, which is to create the world, this is to guard the world, and it must be renamed!
Empress Cao's matter was settled.
Zheng Lang has not said anything about this matter.
Song Shou can't guess what he thinks, but as Zheng Lang's idea, there must be a queen with a deep background in the harem, otherwise with Zhao Zhen's surname, as a harem, this group of ministers can be played to death.
The emperor gave in, and the ministers rejoiced, squeezed some money out of the poor treasury, and solemnly held a grand ceremony to canonize the queen.
Zhao Zhen himself, like a fish lying on the board and waiting to be slaughtered, didn't even have the strength to speak. In the winter of this year, there was a heavy snowfall, bringing a ray of dawn to the people on both sides of the Yellow River and the long-term drought, Zhao Zhen in order to pray for blessings, climbed the thirteen-story wooden tower of Kaibao Temple, looked at the white earth, and suddenly realized why his father made that kind of strange shape, and suddenly remembered Zheng Lang's words, you will soon be pro-government, but are you ready to be the emperor?
Don't think that pro-government is a happy thing, without Liu E's protection in the past few years, if you pro-government in advance, the country doesn't know what it will become.
Now I finally know that the emperor is not a father, not a king, but a son, and he has to be a good son!
After thinking about it, Zhao Zhen was disheartened, and he didn't even go to the court to see things a few times. But the ministers are happy, you are the emperor, a symbol, don't take it seriously, you'd better not interfere in government affairs, or let us come. Are you satisfied?
No.
Keep performing.
Sun Wei first went to the book, went to the autumn to the Holy Communion and peace, and the quasi-double said not to sit down, yes, there were no more than 100 things in the middle of the year, and the ministers went to the palace to do things, and stopped at a few moments, and all the things in the world were not open! I wish that Your Majesty will give an order because of the beginning of the year, and give a decree to many parties, congratulate yourself every day, distinguish the color and occupy the position, select the minister, pay attention to the ancient way, and descend to the warmth, so as to make the extreme. On the outside, the history of assassination and the county order are cowardly and greedy, and the inside is a cowardly and whimsical person...... Zhao Zhen almost vomited blood when he saw it.
He is not lazy to go to the court more than 100 times a year, and Li Longji may not have ten times a year in his later years, and there is only one Yongzheng like an iron man in the entire history, but it is only about 200 times a year.
And most of them are concentrated in the first half of the year, and in the first half of the year, they went to the court to see things more than 100 times, only in this first half of the year, how many emperors can do it?
Later, it took two months to recuperate, and one thing happened that made him squirt blood, and he was lazy.
But when I went to the court to see things, you were so tired that you fainted, and you actually said that I was greedy for women. I don't let you handle government affairs without regard to things, and I say that I am not doing it right. What do you want me to do?
Then he went to the book, and eavesdropped on the Shang, the sealer, An, and the county lieutenant Li Anshi, and because of his madness, he went into vain and made a fool of himself, and the officials interrogated. Since Kong Daofu and Fan Zhongyan were deposed, Pang Ji and Fan Yan have been silent. and people from all over the world do not know that An Shi is guilty of committing a crime, and it will be said that An Shi is loyal and convicted, and it will be spread from afar, which is not beautiful. Hoping for a loan of forgiveness, he will not be allowed to flee, so that those who steal peace will always have a guilty heart.
Li Anshi was impeached for talking nonsense in the book, but Sun Wei felt that the atmosphere in the court was not quite right, according to the past, there was such a big incident as the confrontation between Pang Ji and Fan Wei, and the court would definitely be earth-shattering, but why didn't a few ministers argue? The court is so quiet, it is not an auspicious omen for the country, so Zhao Zhen is not allowed to impeach Li Anshi, so he listens to the saint.
What is the reason? Do you have to be noisy like a vegetable market in the court to have righteousness?
is also talking nonsense, after Zhao Zhen saw it, he directly took him out of Tan, Zhouheng, and Shanzhi County.
However, the reason why the Gentlemen Party is a Gentlemen's Party is that they are also capable, and soon because of their political achievements, this bull was reused again.
Several bigwigs asked for a meeting, but Zhao Zhen still had to meet him.
Zhao Zhen saw it and said blankly: "Has he asked for financial and human support from the imperial court?" ”
Zhuwei knew that Zheng Lang would build, including the windfall of Taiping Prefecture, and he did not issue an edict to ask for it, that is, the capital for Taiping Prefecture to build Wei, but Zhao Zhen did not expect Zheng Lang to take such a big step.
The prime ministers did not say that Zhao Zhen was lazy, even if Zheng Lang asked for financial and manpower support from the imperial court, when he arrived at the Zhongshu, he would either be allowed or not, and he would not necessarily need to report to Zhao Zhen. Or things slip in a bad direction, controversy, quarrels.
Shake your head together.
Hugh said that he had not heard anything in advance, only Lu Yijian knew from the letter from Lu Sanshu and his son that Zheng Lang would build a polder in winter, and in his thoughts, it was only Wanchun Wei that was built, and he never expected that it would be eight polders, plus a new city and port.
Zhao Zhen scratched his head and asked again: "How many households are there in Taiping Prefecture?" ”
Song Shou said: "There are about 30,000 households. ”
After answering, Song Shou wondered even more, Taiping Prefecture is not a big state with more than 100,000 households, only 30,000 households, and organizing such a big project with the power of one state is like a child carrying a burden of 200 catties, can it be picked up? Not only are there problems with manpower and financial resources, but Zheng Lang, who knows about the floating wealth, is only here, and even the workshop at home was handed over to Zheng and Zhou as weaving supervisors. The country is so poor, that workshop can make a profit of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan a year, which is a lot, so the ministers shyly agreed. Zheng Lang has tens of thousands of taels of money in his hands, but not tens of thousands of taels of gold, where does the financial resources come from?
There are so many things that I don't understand.
Zhao Zhen asked again: "How big are the two weis?" ”
"We didn't get the Taiping Prefecture's recitals, and we don't know, some of the other state capitals said more than 3,000 hectares, some said more than 4,000 hectares, some said more than 5,000 hectares, and so on."
In fact, the area is only 3,000 hectares, but nearly 1,000 hectares cannot be used as cultivated land. In order to give the people confidence, Zheng Lang never said it, so the states only knew that these two weis were very big, and they didn't know how big they were, and they were all guessing.
"It's so big, why doesn't he play in the book?" Zhao Zhen became happy after finishing speaking. Can you get on, you can pull it for ten or eight years, it's better to do it first, and when the news reaches Beijing and the city, the polders are all circled, is it difficult to send someone to reopen the polders? It's like the four words in a folk novel, cut first and then play.
But after laughing, he smiled bitterly, obviously he wanted to do good deeds, why was it so difficult?
He also said: "The edict said to these governors that they should not move lightly at will, and wait until next autumn to reconsider, and then I will send Wang Zhaoming, the chamberlain, to take a look." ”
It's not that he doesn't believe in Zheng Lang, but that Zhao Zhen is gradually maturing.
was castrated again and again by ministers and cronies and eunuchs, and his injuries were very painful, but he gradually grew up.
Most of the ministers of the DPRK and China are northerners, and some are southerners, but such a Daxu has not appeared since ancient times. Unlike in the past, those small polders were circled around the high-lying land, so long and large, and some polders may be forcibly erected from the lake.
Whether it can be built smoothly may not be known, and whether it will be able to withstand the flood season next year, I don't know. It's better to take a look at it in a year, and then we can discuss the gains and losses again.
Xiaohuangmen Wang Zhaoming went down the river and south, and when he arrived in Taipingzhou, Zheng Lang was on the polder, and everyone lived on the polder.
As the weather got colder and the polders gradually closed, two polders appeared, and another incident happened.
The little official suddenly ran in to report: "Zhizhou, it's not good, the Yumin polder suddenly collapsed, and the people of the two polders are all talking, Zhizhou, you hurry up and take a look." ”
It's not a trivial matter, especially in this era, I like to think about ghosts and gods, and once I don't deal with it in time, it will cause bad consequences.
Drove the boat to Youminwei.
The site of the collapse is on the west of the road and the lake, some of the lakes remained, and some of the lakes had to be encircled, not only Jingminwei had, but also more lakes encircled by Youminwei, such as Luxi, Lake, Tongjia Lake and so on.
The embankment did not fall, the water level reached its lowest period, so only huge cracks opened, and it also collapsed several meters. There were hundreds of people standing on the side, and when they encountered this kind of thing, they all had no intention of building a polder, and there were many discussions.
I got off the boat and went up, looked at the river section, some lakes must be circled, but they don't really circle the embankment from the center of the lake, make careful measurements, go around the center of the lake, or go or stay. This section of the polder is also on the edge of the center of the lake, but the center of the lake is encircled, and it will be used as a large pond in the polder in the future for the people to harvest some benefits of fishing. Zheng Lang was not at ease, so he asked the little official again, and the little official replied that there were high depressions on both sides, and there was no deep silt layer, let alone the dark pool that Zheng Lang said.
That's why the people feel strange, suspicious and suspicious, if it weren't for the fact that most of the embankment was encircled, they might all disperse because of this incident.
Zheng Lang does not reject the theory of ghosts and gods, but people and ghosts have different paths, and even if they do, they will not come to the world to make troubles or manifest spirits. But did the people believe? Standing on the embankment, I thought about it seriously, I couldn't think about ghosts and gods, and I couldn't solve it when I thought about it. The collapse is nothing more than silt and a dark pool. The silt is thick, and even if it is measured in advance, the surface layer above is a false solid layer, but the bottom layer is a large layer of silt. When the polder is circled, the false solid layer can withstand the pressure, safe and sound, but the higher it is built, the false solid layer can not withstand the pressure, so it collapses.
may be very small, in fact, it has been encountered many times, the upper embankment is pressing, and the lower is sinking, but you sink and I add, there is always a bottom limit, at most it is a waste of some manpower.
Either it is a dark pool or underground water, the terrain in this area has evolved over hundreds of millions of years, and some of the reeds have grown luxuriantly, slowly silting down the mud, and even covering the original river channel, but there are undercurrents surging below. The solid layer is slightly thicker, and it is very secret, and it cannot be measured with the current tools, and the polder is pressed, and the subsidence begins, and the large area will cause sudden collapse.
Let the officials lead the people into two groups, one group to observe the changes in the water surface in the polder, scattered far away, and a group of boats to use tools to muddy the water outside. At the end of the winter months, some of the water's edges are covered with a layer of melting ice, but the lake water is at its clearest, and it is also far away.
After stirring for a while, I finally saw turbid water coming out of a water surface in the polder, gushing more and more. But it's a little far from the polders. Seeing the turbid water coming out, the people suddenly realized.
Zhao Tongju said admiringly: "God." ”
If something goes wrong, it has to be solved, and there is no way to find it at the mouth of the pool outside. I had to let the polder shrink inside. But to give Zheng Lang a reminder, what if there are such hidden pools in other places?
There may not be a problem, the polder will be flattened sooner or later, in case it is not flattened, the flood season will come, there will be serious consequences. This method was also used to test on all the polders in the two polders. Three hidden dangers were found out one after another and dealt with immediately.
Zheng Lang considered that there would be such and such a situation, so he directly asked people to build a few straw sheds, and took his wife and concubines and students to live on the polder to handle official business.
Yes, Fan Zhongyan and others have done similar actions, but there are very few in the end.
If the parents are like this, what else can the people say?
Every day, I saw Zheng Lang in the cold wind, dealing with the twists and turns, or occasionally hearing the beautiful sound of Zhizhou's piano, or seeing the light of his lamp and candle lit up to more than two before extinguishing, and the shadow of the collapse of the polder quickly disappeared, and unconsciously, almost all the people felt a kind of happiness, just like a warm spring breeze gently beating the curtain of their house.
Wang Zhaoming came to Taiping Prefecture.
Finding Zheng Lang and seeing Zheng Lang's face blackened by the cold wind, Wang Zhaoming said in surprise: "Zheng Zhizhou, why bother? ”
It is not necessarily bitter, except for being a little colder and living shabby, what he eats every day is fresh fish caught from the river without any pollution, and the people also love it, which is very satisfying for Zheng Lang. The only regret is that I can't sleep in a big bed like at home, and the bottom line is not done, but from time to time I rub an oil to make this winter very fragrant.
Talking about the fact that the states wanted to build the polder, Zheng Lang cautiously recounted what had happened, and said: "Before building the polder, it is necessary to mediate the contradictions between the people of the state and county and distribute the benefits. It's hard to ......."
I rowed such a big cake and went out, and many people were not very satisfied with themselves. Moreover, other states and counties.
Lu Gong made an evaluation of Zeng Nana: "Kidnapping." ”
Zheng Lang kidnapped officials with merit, rich people with business profits, and poor people with arable land. Therefore, with the power of a small state, this huge project was dragged up.
Zheng Lang laughed and said: "This word is used well, but remember, kidnapping is okay, everyone must be kidnapped, as long as everyone is kidnapped, there will be many difficulties, and they will unite as one." ”
If you are not afraid of kidnapping, you are afraid of kidnapping one, and if you miss most of them, not only will you do something bad, but you will also be scratched.
Zheng Lang also said: "It must be carefully measured, and there must be a far-sighted vision, not to covet the small profits in the immediate future, and to retain enough lakes for flood storage and irrigation and navigable rivers for flood discharge." Once the overhaul of the polders begins, it is necessary for the states and counties to cooperate, otherwise the neighboring states will block the rivers and the floodwaters will inevitably be discharged to other states. If you want to prosper, you must have a minister with a fair heart and a proficient in water conservancy to regulate, and there is only one person in the court who can do it, Fan Zhongyan. ”
Fan Zhongyan, who has a fair heart and is an expert in water conservancy, is the only one who has done a good job in Xinghua and this year, and has also done well in Jiangsu and Zhou this year. But if you say it yourself, no one will really listen. He also said: "But since the king's servants have come, it is better to wait a few days, the polder is completed, and report a good news to Your Majesty for the ministers, and the ministers will write a detailed recital and hand it to Your Majesty." ”
"Okay."
Wang Zhaoming also lives in a grass hut.
It has nothing to do with Zheng Lang, Zhao Zhen is frugal and simple, he lives for a few days, and when he goes back, he can boast to Zhao Zhen that the minister is willing to endure hardships.
The amount of work is larger than that of the original historical polder, and the manpower is also a little worse. But the people's Wei, Zheng Lang took a good start, so the speed was very fast, to the twenty-first day of the lunar month, first Jingminwei after more than 60 days of hard work, ahead of schedule.
The pork in the cauldron in the distance is fragrant, and for this day, I prepared in advance, bought a large amount of pork and vegetables, and a lot of wine, and after the completion of the construction, I will treat the people. All the rest of the city was built, except for the middle section of the Qingyi water's edge, where all the people poured over, and the black pressure crowded the embankment for several miles.
Hundreds of people continued to pick up the mud, and it was already noon, and the mud was ready. It's not over yet, dozens of civilians are going to be tamped with sledgehammers. Seeing dozens of sledgehammers ramming, many people couldn't hold it anymore, and cheers rang out from time to time.
Gradually tamped up, Zheng Lang said: "Hammer another hundred times." ”
"Whoa." The dozens of big men replied, continuing to hammer and count them one by one.
There are already officials who can't wait, and they line up the two loads of firecrackers they bought and prepare to set off.
By the last thirty strokes, everyone began to count, thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight...... Five, four, three, two, one.
After the last count, the firecrackers did not have time to be set off, and the joy was thunderous, and many people were jumping, laughing, crying, and hugging. This is the fruit of their labor, their polder, their home...... Looking at the crazy appearance of all the people, Wang Zhaoming also wiped his tears and said, "Zheng Zhizhou, it's so touching, I want to cry." ”
