"Yuan Chang, do you think I have those major crises in the future?"

"The gateway to the clouds, densely populated, mergers, political disputes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Cai Jing replied.

Cai Qu's forehead, especially Cai Jing, put the Youyun Portal in the first place, and Wang Ju also deliberately mentioned this before leaving the capital. For the time being, you can't fight the idea of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, but it doesn't mean that you don't want to, unless you move the capital to Luoyang, but that's impossible to achieve.

To put it mildly, the northern gate is not controlled by himself, and it is safer to put the capital in Kaifeng, which is not in danger, than the Ming Dynasty to put the capital in Beijing.

But Cai did add: "There is another crisis, the crisis of the ethnic group. ”

Originally, the ethnic policies of all dynasties were mostly Zhuge Liang's policies, at most some troops stationed on the border, and then an agent was supported, who governed the border areas of various ethnic minorities.

It did succeed in the hands of Zhuge Liang, but the state of Shu was only a few Chenguang.

On the contrary, later history proved that this policy was wrong, and the best example is that the Tang Dynasty supported the Mengshe clan in Nanzhao, and then the fruit swallowed was bitter.

The Song Dynasty is a little better, but it is not that the Song Dynasty did well before, look at how many fettered areas the Song Dynasty had before, that's it, there is also the Nong Zhigao rebellion, and the various barbarian regions are constantly invading and plundering, of course, if the Han people are a lowly race, as slaves of others, slaughtered and plundered by others, it can also be said that these barbarian areas are constantly revolting.

These vivid examples have proved the inadequacy of the original policy.

Now most ministers have also approved of Wang Ju's policy of changing the land and returning to the river, but that does not mean that it is a perfect policy.

It seems that the south is not bad at the moment, Jiaozhi has become an important reserve granary, Dali continues to provide Guangnan, Jingnan and Bashu with large livestock and war horses that are in short supply in these areas, Wumeng has copper mines, and later some pits have been discovered, including gold and silver mines that were also in short supply in the Song Dynasty, and now there is a land trade route to Tianzhu.

However, in general, because of the relative poverty of these areas and the inconvenience of transportation, although the imperial court profited, it did not make much profit. But in the past, in order to pacify and stabilize these areas, how much money did the imperial court spend, and how much money did the other side support?

If it is safe, it is fine, but if the nation does not handle it properly, there will be no benefit in a large-scale rebellion.

It's not just the south, it's the south at the moment, and in the future, there will be the Dangxiang people, the Tibetan people, the Uighurs, and the inexplicable races of the North and South Hetao.

If the Song Dynasty had the ability to recover Yanyun, there would have been a part of the Tatars, Xi and Khitans within its borders.

Therefore, this national question is becoming more and more important.

But Cai Jing was suspicious in his eyes, I am in charge of Sinong Temple, what ethnic group are you talking to me about?

What I want is his Si Nong Temple!

Wang Ju proposed to transfer Lu Dafang back, and Cai did think about the candidate to replace him. The recovered southern three roads, Jiaozhi Road is a little better, the original people almost let Wang Ju get rid of it, or drove away, the rest of the people are mostly originally on the side of the Song Dynasty, or there are still some people who escape the past, or return, but the number is small, can not turn the wind and waves.

Dali two roads are different, not only now, but also in the next ten years, there can be no problems, otherwise the light will be like the original Bashu, a big riot, and the heavy will become the second Nanzhao.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the candidates for the heads of the two roads are cautious.

The two of them thought about this candidate, and after thinking about it, Wang Ju suddenly thought of Cai Jing.

Wang Ju had to admit that this person did have some ability, I don't know how to get mixed up, and he became the head official of Sinong Temple, how important Sinong Temple is after changing the law!

So Wang Ju proposed to Cai Jing, otherwise, when the old and the new are replaced in the future, Cai Jing will have to fall to the old party if he can't get it, so it is better to get him to the south, so that his mind is full of thoughts on some unruly barbarian chiefs.

As for what kind of virtue Cai Jing will become in the future, it will be a long time later, and Wang Ju can't care about it.

Cai Qu continued: "Therefore, the imperial court transferred Lu Dafang back to the capital, and the old man wanted to replace him with a king......"

Cai Jing's face was a little unnatural, the governors of Yunnan and Yunnan both had the position of appeasing the economic strategy at the same time, in fact, the power was far better than that of the governor or prefect of other states, but Cai Jing is now judging the temple, which is only equivalent to a level transfer. But one is an official in Beijing, and the other is an official in the far southwest, Cai Jing is not very happy in his heart.

Cai Qu also saw the change on his face, and said lightly: "This is also recommended by Taibao to the old man, and he values you very much." ”

"Oh......" Cai Jing was surprised, don't say that Wang Ju will go to the other side in the future, in fact, this is a wonderful move, if you continue to stay in the Song Dynasty after the success, because of fear, most of the imperial court will hide the king giant bird, but go to the other side, but take a step back and open the sky, and still have a huge influence on the Song Dynasty, unless the two sides are no longer navigable, but Cai Jing thought of something, so he asked: "Cai Gong, the lower official heard about it......"

"Yuan Chief, don't think too much, it won't be long before you can see the truth."

are all smart people, needless to say, Cai Jing retired.

So the imperial court issued an edict and let Cai Jing go to Dali, and judge Sinong Temple with Wang Cun, strictly speaking, Wang Cun is also the old party, but his personality is mild.

In fact, Cai did make a lot of personnel arrangements later, including the promotion of many influential figures in the old party, but there is one of the most important premises, that is, he has a gentle personality and does not have much anger.

This meme......

…………

Looking at the crowd cheering on both sides, the seed master Dao was also envious in his heart, the official, the one who didn't want to have such an influence in the hearts of the people.

Of course, in terms of influence in the hearts of the people, even in Wang Ju's entire career, it has reached the extreme.

Wang Ju rode on horseback, kept bowing his hands to the people, and then came to the state government with the seed master. Although the Song Dynasty pushed the front line to Yinju and Xiaoguan, Gyeongju still became the main force of Vaxia again due to the constraints of transportation costs.

"It's still the same." Wang Ju came to the state office and turned over and dismounted and said, but it is normal, in ancient times, repairing the official office was still the most taboo thing for officials, unless it was really in tatters, and generally would not repair the yamen.

The group walked into the state office.

"Taibao, this is a secret letter from Cai Gong."

Wang Ju opened the letter, and only one thing was written on it, that is, the Song Dynasty had sent a large number of armor to Goryeo half-sold and half-sent.

In fact, even if all the armies of Goryeo were replaced with the new armor of the Song Dynasty, it would be impossible to defeat the Liao State. But the winning and losing factors are increasing bit by bit, but this is a step flyer, how much of a role it can play, Wang Ju doesn't dare to say.

He put down the letter, and the planter said again: "Taibao, Lanzhou has also sent an urgent report, let the lower officials pass it on to you." ”

Wang Ju opened it and said in surprise: "Black Khan sent troops? ”

"Black Khan?" Seed Master Dao was also a little surprised, he couldn't help but glance at the newspaper, it was sent by Wang Wenyu, and a message was written on it, Hei Khan suddenly sent troops to Shazhou. The specific situation Wang Wenyu is not clear, after all, it is too far away, I am afraid that this news was leaked by the Western Xia people and let the Song Dynasty scouts hear it.

"Taibao, did Black Khan send an envoy to contact my court?"

There are several reasons why Black Khan sent troops to Western Xia, and this is the best one.

In the past, the Black Khan sent envoys to the Song Dynasty many times to pay tribute, but this tribute could not be taken seriously, in fact, it was not the Song Dynasty that the Black Khan really regarded as the upper country, but the Liao State. But because there was no conflict between the two, the relationship between the Black Khan and the Song Dynasty was not evil.

Maybe seeing that the Song Dynasty really had the certainty of destroying Xia this time, Hei Khan sent troops to help.

If this is the case, they will send an envoy to Huangzhou to inform the tribe.

But no, Wang Ju shook his head.

"Could it be that there was a huge conflict between the Black Khan and the Western Xia?"

"No, there is no news from the front, and at this time, Western Xia will not clash with the Black Khan."

"Taibao, is it cold over there in the Western Regions at this time?"

"The weather over there is different from Shaanxi Road, it's hot during the day and cold at night, but at this time, it's still very cold."

"That's a bit bad."

If not these two cases, then there are two other possibilities.

One is to take advantage of the fire to rob and take the opportunity to reap benefits, just like Dong Yu, whenever the Song army and the Western Xia fought a big battle, he immediately sent troops to Liangzhou, Lanzhou, to take the opportunity to reap the benefits. The Song Dynasty also knew about it, and supported it, after all, it more or less contained the power of Western Xia.

If this is the case, it is not a big problem.

What I am afraid of is the last possibility, that is, to take the opportunity to invade and occupy the western part of the Hexi Corridor.

If the Song Dynasty preemptively occupied this area, and there was still a period of Gaochang Uighur region in the middle of the waning western mountains, the Gaochang Uighurs would not be able to threaten the Song Dynasty, and it was not very likely that the Liao State would block Bu and Juyan to go south, because the cost was too high, and the water and soil in the Western Regions deteriorated, then the northwest would gradually calm down, and the entire Hexi Corridor would return to the embrace of the Central Plains Dynasty.

However, if the Black Khan had preemptively occupied Shazhou, Guazhou, and Suzhou, creating an established fact, and the area was mostly Uighurs, it would have been difficult for the Song Dynasty to reclaim it. Either they will use force and start a war with the Black Khan, which will undoubtedly add many variables.

And the time is not right, it is only the end of February, and it has been a while since the news reached Wang Wenyu's hands.

This means that the Black Khan is still sending troops in the first month, and it is when the weather is cold and freezing, even if the Black Khan is all cavalry, he has to transport supplies, in this weather, how difficult it is to transport!

So it was a premeditated and quick surprise attack.

Wang Ju thought for a long time and said, "Order the arrest." ”

…………

"Duan Tianshui, what do you see?" Cai did point to the map and asked.

The map is a map of both sides of the Qiantang River, up to the Wusong River, west to Hangzhou, and east to the sea.

Duan Tianshui was confused for a moment, and said carefully: "Cai Gong, is it a water conservancy ......?" ”

"Why water conservancy?"

"The southeast is heavy, but the salt official tide is the suffering ......of the southeast," Duan Tianshui replied hesitantly. No matter how much Qiantang Chao harms Liangzhejiang Road, what does it have to do with him, a little person. And Wang Ju also criticized the southeast officials, saying one thing, that is, the Qiantang River is constrained by the terrain and tide, and the overall trend is to rise in the south and collapse in the north.

Because of this, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Qiantang River was diverted three times, especially to the west of Haiyan Jinniu Mountain, Shengsheng moved dozens of miles to the north, turning a straight horn into a phoenix-necked phoenix-mouth shape, and produced a turning tide.

However, it should still be treated, Wang Ju wrote Wu Yue's cage stone tide blocking method in detail, and also deliberately wrote the fish scale pond.

Just writing about this trend will provide a long-term direction for local officials to control the tide.

It is indeed impossible to have a relationship with Duan Tianshui, Cai Cheng just asked casually to see what vision the two have.

"Go on."

"Cai Gong, the grass people have never been to the southeast, and they don't know the local situation......"

"Zhang Jian, what did you see?"

"This ......" Another thin middle-aged man hesitated slightly, just such a map, obviously centered on the Qiantang River, in addition to water conservancy, what else? Or the land of fish and rice, the land of fish and rice is now Husu, but not on this map! Or local business, but if it is business, it must also have Huzhou and Suzhou.

He stared at the map for a while, and suddenly saw a place and said, "Could it be the city?" ”

"En......" Cai did become interested: "Let's talk about it." ”

"Cai Gong, now the map of the city division is getting heavier and heavier in my dynasty, but these city divisions have their own flaws. Although Guangzhou City Bosi follows the trend of the great river in the south, it only radiates Lingnan, and it is too far away from the Central Plains. The imperial court newly installed the Jiaozhi City Bosi, and the radiation area was even narrower. Because of the narrow mountainous area of Fujian Road, many people were forced to engage in business to make a living, and Quanzhou Port came from behind, but the radiation range was even more limited. The Port of Mizhou is located in the north, but there are no major rivers to connect it, although it is in the north, but the cost of getting goods to the capital is still very high. Because there is a Hangzhou City Ship Division, but because of the harm of the salt official tide, the ship is inconvenient, and accidents occur from time to time, so the imperial court has placed the Dangpu City Ship Division in Xiuzhou, and there is still the harm of the tide. Therefore, the city of Mingzhou was set up, but if the Mingzhou City Department wanted to transfer the goods to the inland, it had to be transferred from Cixi to Yuyao, and then from the Yuyao River to Shangyu, and then from the canal to Hangzhou, several times, and the cost was also very high. ”

These flaws do exist, but there is nothing good for the imperial court to do.

You must know that the current Yangtze River is not the Yangtze River of later generations, especially below Yangzhong, and the width is nearly twice as wide as that of later generations.

The wider it is, the bigger the tide, just like the Amazon River, because the estuary is too wide, and the tide head is almost the same as the Qiantang River. Coupled with strong winds and waves, this means that in the Song Dynasty, the Yangtze River was not a good place to stop boats. Therefore, the Grand Canal is directly inserted into the Zhenjiang River in the south of Suzhou, rather than entering the Yangtze River from Suzhou and then reaching Yangzhou.

If you are not afraid of trouble, the sea ship can still go up, but that means there is no way to inspect it.

Cai did forehead.

"Cai Gong, but there is something to investigate."

"Where?"

"Qinglong Town, Xiuzhou."

Cai Quhaha laughed: "Qinglong Town will say later, Duan Tianshui, what do you think of Cheng Fang?" ”

These two people were deliberately found out by Cai Qu's subordinates.

The imperial court let Cheng Fang be the envoy of the river and preside over the water conservancy of Hebei, Duan Tianshui was the most important guest of Cheng Fang, and made a lot of contributions, and later under the attack of Wen Yanbo and Han Qi, Wang Anshi did not shelter, Cheng Fang died of depression and illness, and Duan Tianshui was so frightened that he went home.

Therefore, Wang Anshi does not know how to use people, and the reason why there are some highlights in the change is nothing more than Wang Shaozhi's military, Xue Xiangzhi's financial management, and Cheng Fang's water conservancy, but none of these three people ended well, and they didn't get Wang Anshi's real attention!

Duan Tianshui said very carefully: "Although Cheng He's envoy is in a hurry, the grass people think that Yu Yu has nine merits in the imperial court. ”

He looked at Cai Qu's face and added: "But the grass people think that after thousands of years, future generations will definitely give Cheng He a higher evaluation." ”

Although Wang Ju "rehabilitated" Cheng Fang, because Cheng Fang was a eunuch after all, he treated this rehabilitation coldly in all aspects, and the impact was limited, at most he posthumously gave some official positions and gave his relatives some rewards. Therefore, it seems that the imperial court has not done enough. However, in the Song Dynasty, the status of eunuchs was very low, just like the great eunuch Li Xian, who was actually the same thing in the political arena.

And thousands of years later, how many people know Cheng Fang?

Cai Qu also disagreed in his heart, thinking that Prince Andu had asked Cheng Fang for justice, a eunuch, what else did he want!

But he was more satisfied with Duan Tianshui's words, turned his head to look at Zhang Jian and said, "Okay, let's talk about Qinglong Town first." ”

He rolled up the map above, and below it was still a map, a map of Huating County.

Huating County is the later Shanghai, but there are many differences with the later Shanghai, first of all, there is a part of the southeast corner of Jinshan with the Qiantang River south rising and moving northward trend, and later submerged into the sea, but the area is not too big, the east from the Chuansha and Nanhui line, and under the sea. There are also Hengsha Island and Changxing Island that have not surfaced, and Chongming Island is now just a few fragmented islands.

However, Huating County does not cover the whole of Shanghai, from the north of the Wusong River, Jiading and Baoshan belong to Kunshan County, Suzhou, but the area of Huating County is not small, it includes the later Shanghai downtown, Qingpu, Songjiang, Chuansha, Nanhui, Fengxian, Jinshan, and part of the Jiashan and Pinghu areas of Zhejiang. In terms of area, it is the first county in the southeast.

Now there is no Huangpu River, so there is no Pudong and Puxi.

Finally, there is Dianshan Lake, now there is no Dianshan Lake, but there are several lakes, the largest lake has been named Guhu since the Qin Dynasty, until the Southern Song Dynasty, Ma Teng Lake, Gu Lake and other lakes were connected together to form Dianshan Lake. However, in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was still not called Dianshan Lake, but Xuedian Lake. But it does not mean that the area of Dianshan Lake is small now, on the contrary, only a valley lake is larger than the area of Dianshan Lake later, although several lakes are gradually connected after a few decades, because of the artificial enclosure of the lake, as well as the backflow of the sea tide, the accumulation of waterlogging, and the silt and sediment blockage, resulting in the silt at the bottom of the lake being continuously eroded by wind and waves and relocated, deposited, so the lake area is getting smaller and smaller.

However, about these four changes, only Wang Ju has a little understanding.

Cai Qu looked at the confused eyes of the two and made a simple explanation.

China developed the southeast region relatively early, and Wu and Yue fought for hegemony, that is, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the civilization of this region did not lag behind the civilization of the Central Plains. However, for the Xiuzhou area, especially the Shanghai area, the development is relatively late, there are two reasons, although Huating County is relatively light by the Qiantang River tide, but at this time the river tide is very large, the two tides are sandwiched, and the sea tide backs up from time to time; Although the large area is densely populated with rivers, there is only one main road of the Wusong River in the northeast, so when the typhoon arrives or the autumn season occurs, the flood water in the upper reaches rolls in, but it cannot ******be discharged in time, so the waterlogging is serious.

However, during the chaos of the Five Hundred Fronts, a large number of people from the Central Plains fled south, and many people came to this area and defected to the local Lu family and other wealthy families, becoming their tenants and subordinates, and the population gradually became dense, and the first development began.

Then in the Tang Dynasty, more areas gushed out of the sea, but because these areas are uneven, the land is soft, often cause sea surges, so the Tang Dynasty government from Haiyan in the west, east to the south bank of the Wusong River, built a more than 100 miles of sea embankment, and at the same time placed a county, but also the first time that the Shanghai area was officially established as a county.

This is the second development, because the population is further dense, some ships go up the Wusong River, trading in Qinglong Town, and at this time the agriculture in Shanghai area has also begun to become developed, from Qinglong Town has become an important commercial town.

But the real development was from Wu Yue to the Song Dynasty, which was the third major development. During the Wu Yue period, he specially set up the Dushui battalion envoy and the shallow army, dredged the Wusong River and controlled Dianshan Lake, and placed a number of steep gates, embankments and irrigation ditches. On this basis, the Song Dynasty further developed and created many enclosures, cabinet fields, fengtian fields and frame fields. Enclosure is similar to cabinet field and polder, while fentian refers to the planting of crops such as cocoon and cattail on the water surface, and the shelf field is the cultivation of crops and vegetables on floating wooden rows. In addition, Tu Tin and Sha Tin appeared. Coupled with the government's intention to introduce wheat from the north and Champa rice from the south, it was only by this time that agriculture in Shanghai gradually equaled the fishing industry. The population has also grown from about 10,000 households in the early Song Dynasty to 100,000 households.

For a county, 100,000 households is already a lot, but it cannot be said that the population here is dense to the extreme, after all, it is too large, and because of the siltation of fertile fields, the yield per mu reaches five or six stones, so the people it can accommodate are far from reaching the limit.

But even if it has not changed, it is still developing, not only here is the land of fishing and rice, there are many salt farms in the southeast, because the people are rich, commerce and trade are developed, resulting in the prosperity of the wine industry, so the Song Dynasty placed a wine business on a tributary of the Wusong River, called Shanghai Affairs.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty set up the city of shipping, and the Southern Song Dynasty further developed, so the city of the city was directly placed in Qinglong Town, and the Shanghai affairs were changed to Shanghai Town, and Shanghai Town was later the downtown area of Shanghai, and the population of the Southern Song Dynasty swelled to nearly 200,000 households at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, called Little Hangzhou.

Cai really didn't know what the Southern Song Dynasty was like, he continued: "Although Huating is good, it is still only on both sides of the Wusong River. ”

"Cai Gong, do you mean that there is no main river flood discharge in the southeast?" Duan Tianshui asked.

Cai did nodded, because there was no main river flood discharge in the southeast, so even if the Song Dynasty developed on a large scale, the southeast was still mostly lake-topography, only fishing and salt industry, and there was little agriculture.

At the same time, the river tide is large, only one main river channel rises and falls, the tide is very fast, and the ship is not safe to drive, especially the bulky large sea ship is not easy to drive. Even small boats can only sail into Qinglong Town to anchor (Qinglong Town is located in Qingpu, far from the mouth of the sea, and is slightly less affected by the tide).

Therefore, although the Southern Song Dynasty placed the city ship division in Qinglong Town, it has not been able to reach the height of other city ship divisions. With the siltation of the Wusong River, many ships moved to Shanghai Town, and Shanghai Town gradually replaced the status of Qinglong Town, and then the forbidden sea came......

When Cai Qu said this, he drew a line on the map with a pen, Duan Tianshui and Zhang Jian looked at this line and said again and again: "Wonderful, wonderful." ”

"I asked you to go to Huating County, would you like to?"

Cai Qu's words made the faces of the two of them change color...... (To be continued.) )
