Chapter 232: Cutting (1)
Lu Yijian looked at Zhao Zhen's gray face and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry for the time being, there are about hundreds of thousands of stone grains in the granary of Songzhou, and I heard that the Zheng family also has hundreds of thousands of stone grains. What the minister is worried about is ...... in the future."
I am very grateful to Zheng Lang in my heart.
If it weren't for his reminder, you can imagine what Zhongshu would be busy with now without any preparation.
And grain, as long as there is grain in hand at this time, even if it is tens of thousands of stones and thousands of stones, it is good. Besides, more than 100,000 stone grains will save a lot of urgency.
Alas, His Majesty gave the Weaver Girl late, if it had been given last spring, wouldn't it have allowed the Zheng family to have the money to raise more food.
There was a little doubt in his heart, although Zheng Lang was not sure, but it was not easy. Could it be that geniuses can really be pinched? Are the stories in those gossip novels true?
But Lu Yijian is very sober-minded, that is, there is some food that can be taken out, and the form is not optimistic.
The Yellow River burst its banks this time, a flood is not a small place, nor is it a broken polder or two polders in the south, starting from Lanzhou, all the way to the Daimyofu, Dezhou, and then spread into three waterways up to the north of Hebei, down to the north of Shandong to the estuary, how much this trumpet-shaped radiation is.
It may not all become an ocean, but the three new rivers that have been separated will cause the people in the vast area around the three new rivers to suffer. The damage is not counted, but it is estimated that at least hundreds of thousands of people died or had their homes shattered in the disaster. The dead are gone, but the living are to be saved.
The emperor is soft-hearted, and what he is most afraid of hearing is the dead.
However, the weather will gradually cool down, and there may be hundreds of thousands, maybe more than 200,000 people will be homeless, and if you want to help them, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, you can't do anything. How much does it cost?
Zhao Zhen said: "Yan ......"
Only shouted one word, stopped shouting, and was ready to ask Yan Wenying to allocate some more money from the inner treasury, or allocate some silk to relieve the disaster, but he thought that he had allocated one million yuan to the third envoy some time ago, and he had allocated it several times, and the inner treasury was empty.
I just don't eat, and I can't squeeze out money.
Frustrated, he said to Lu Yijian: "Pronounce Zheng Qing's recital into an edict, Li Qing, Lu Qing, you will assist and do a good job in disaster relief." ”
Wang Yan, the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Households, and Sun Zhao, the envoy of the supply and reserve library, went to check the disaster in person.
But after two years of pro-government, there were two years of major disasters, which hit Zhao Zhen very hard, so extreme self-abuse began again.
Seeing Zhao Zhen's body losing weight day by day, Song Shou, the governor of the political affairs, wrote a book: There are three ways to control the next: the matter is still guarded, the opportunity is expensive to decide, and the plan is secret. If you can code, you can't move, if you can judge, you can't be confused, and if you can be secret, you can't change. What is in danger, may Your Majesty read it. If the court is clear, living in Xianyan, the sound and taste are adjusted to the six qi, and the festival is proclaimed to be in order to obey the four times, and the king is bowed, so that he will not be hurt, but to protect peace, and the blessing of the boundary.
If the court does not have much to do, it should raise the king's body, and when it is time, it can not hurt the body too much, which is the blessing of the country.
Zhao Zhen will definitely not be able to go on like this, causing the emperor to see emaciation, there are two reasons, the first reason is overwork, and the second reason is that the two beautiful girls are excessive. I can't say to Zhao Zhen, you handle state affairs too diligently, the emperor is not like this. Qing ministers are not allowed to scold Song Shou to death.
I had to start from the other side and control women.
But Zhao Zhen is only in his twenties, and he is the most energetic time in his life, how can he not have the love of men and women? is that some middle-aged and young officials in the court still have many family records and concubines. Comparing people's hearts to their own hearts, didn't they have the same experience when they were young?
There are always one or two favorite concubines, including Ming Jun like Li Shimin, first the eldest grandson queen, then the Wei family, and then the Xu family, not afraid of the queen of the people, but afraid of the harem dictatorship, first, pampering the harem, ignoring government affairs, and second. Did the emperor have any? No.
See no, in the past six months, how many edicts have the emperor issued, and how many twists and turns have been dealt with every day.
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, no one has been able to match the degree of diligence.
What can I say?
Originally, there was nothing, but the combination of the two was also terrifying, watching Zhao Zhen lose weight day by day, Song Shou was also anxious. I don't know how to say it, so this letter used a vague tone like a white horse, saying that it was too tight to persuade Zhao Zhen to relax, and it was too tight to change the sturdy people who could not bear the workload, and it could also be said that Zhao Zhen was persuaded to do less about Yan'er in the harem.
There is nothing in this recital, and it is very fair.
But it got out and attracted the eyes of some people. As for the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people from the bursting of the Yellow River, to hell with it, no one can see it. The victims are not people! The emperor is not a human being, we must cut off the emperor's jj! Is the JJ of the Cutting Emperor Great or not?
The emperor is only in his twenties, and he has physical needs, so he doesn't care. It's important to clear your name.
Then cut it!
…… A bamboo tent was erected.
The form is similar to a tea shed, but it strives to be sturdy, and it is also larger than an ordinary tea shed.
There are a total of ten tops, lined up along the Shuiyang River in the south of the city. This is where weaving will be taught in the future. By the end of September, a few weaver girls brought from Zhengzhou were going back. It is impossible to build a house, the cost is too high, and the time is too late.
However, in Wuhu County, Zheng Lang asked craftsmen to repair a few houses, planted flower trees, dug a pond, raised fish and lotus roots, and built a water pavilion corridor on the pond, as well as two pavilions, a rockery, a few pieces of green bamboo, and the green bamboo was encircled by the original two bamboo forests, and some flowers and trees were the same, similar to a beautiful garden.
This was repaired by Zheng Lang at his own expense, and it is not impossible to repair the garden, some officials built a manor for the comfort of living and let themselves live with their families. However, it is not like Zheng Lang's personality, besides, the state government of Taiping Prefecture is in Dangtu County, and it is not in Wuhu, what kind of garden did he go to Wuhu to build?
Zhao Tongju asked curiously, but Zheng Lang did not answer.
Caused a lot of suspicion.
There is also a workshop in Dangtu City, which is imitating the loom style brought by Cui Xian to make a large number of new looms. This is the money that Zheng Lang posted upside down with his own money, and gave the Xie family, the Zhu family, and the Lu family, which is a reward for filial piety, morality, and benevolence, which can be spent from the government.
This kind of loom is not good, Zhao Zhengang in May issued an edict prohibiting folk brocade embroidery as clothing, he just taught exquisite weaving, and this edict has a secret, although these looms are only given to the poorest people, to help the poor, there will be people to make a fuss.
Wang Anshi said: "It's so difficult. ”
It's tiring to think about it this way.
"It's not difficult, it's necessary, walking on thin ice, so that people won't find the handle. Otherwise, in a few years, someone will stare at the egg shell for egg seams. ”
Cui Xian laughed like a silver bell, this metaphor is also wonderful.
Wang Anshi was very speechless, the teacher said very reasonably, everything has just begun, the teacher has done a good job, helping widows and orphans, helping the poor, resolving disputes, and promoting morality. In less than a month, the people of Taiping Prefecture praised the teacher.
But the sharpest hands haven't been shown yet.
This is political performance, ordinary political performance officials will not be blushing, if the political performance is outstanding to a certain point, there must be many red-eyed officials, the officials in the court are not too bad in general, but there are many officials like Fan Wei.
Caution is a must.
It was built quickly, and after a few days, all ten pergolas were set up in the blink of an eye.
The officials carried the loom out, which was also a grand event in Taiping Prefecture, and the officials from top to bottom went out together, followed the loom, and went out of the city.
There have been people waiting for a long time.
The order has been issued a few days ago, posted at the gate of the county seat of the three counties, or outside the county office, helplessly, Wuhu Fanchang County can not even find the city gate, so I have to post it at the gate of the county office.
Zhao Tongju said: "Zheng Zhizhou, this move will improve the lives of countless families in Taiping Prefecture. ”
Now the people's life is very simple, one grain and one textile. The textile industry in the south of the Yangtze River is far inferior to that in the north, and the textiles in Suzhou and Hangzhou are inferior to those in the north, not to mention the textile industry in Taipingzhou. A good Qingzhou silk can be sold for more than two taels per horse in Tokyo, and the raw silk in Taiping Prefecture is less than a taper dollar. If it is purchased locally, a good horse is less than 700 wen, and the bad one is only 500 wen.
If the overall textile technology of Taiping Prefecture is pulled up, not much, each horse can be sold for a wisp to a tale and a half, how many people have a way out!
This is great good governance.
Then looked at Zheng Lang with admiration, he was not ambitious, a few days ago, he thought that this young couple was doing fake.
Even to the point of making a fake to this point, it's enough.
"Zhao Tongju, it's not as simple as you think, there will be a lot of women who come to learn, and the teaching will inevitably be not detailed, and it is impossible to improve the weaving art all at once. But next year, I will let them come over and teach them for two to three years, and then the weaving art in Taiping Prefecture will be able to go up as a whole. ”
It's already very good, Zhao Tongju said: "Zheng Zhizhou, you came to Taiping Prefecture, and you are the creation of the people of Taiping Prefecture. ”
"I can't boast, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, when will I leave Taipingzhou, when will I be able to draw conclusions."
"Doctor Zheng, I have a doubt." Yan Rong said.
"Why not?"
"The output of mulberry hemp industry in the south of the Yangtze River is higher than that in the north, once the skills keep up, what will the people in the north do?"
"Hey, come here."
The little fat man walked over, Zheng Lang looked at his head and said, "You are not only fat, but also grow taller and taller, do you want me to look up to you in the future?" ”
"When I grow up, I will be taller than the doctor, and when I see the doctor, I will bow my head."
Everyone looked at this honest little fat man and laughed together. But Zheng Lang was very pleased, because it was amazing for the little fat man to say this. Even in the original real history, it is aimed at Wang Anshi's so-called open source.
The national economy is like a piece of cake, several people eat it, some people are full, and some are bound to be hungry. Wang Anshi's reform of the law was mainly aimed at harming the interests of the big landlords and big bureaucrats, supplemented by harming the interests of the poor people, and enriching the country's reform, so it was bound to fail.
It is not surprising that this sentence came out of the mouths of the three little third sons, but it was not easy for Yan Rong to say it.
Zheng Lang smiled slightly, saying that everyone doesn't understand the cake, but everyone has eaten all the steamed buns, and said: "For example, a steamed bun, several people eat it, this person eats it well, and the other person must not eat it well, are you right?" ”
The little fat man nodded.
"So think about it from another angle, for example, this steamed bun itself weighs only one catty, if you make it bigger and make it into a big steamed bun weighing two catties and three catties, then this person eats it well, and the other person has one to eat?"
"There is."
"Take your time, we're still young."
The officials bowed their heads in shame. This small print is very slight...... Zheng Lang's eyes glanced at the east intentionally or unintentionally.
The conditions of Taiping Prefecture are very good, but in terms of prospects, it is still inferior to the dozen or so states on the coast of the East, and no matter which state, if it develops, it will far outperform Taiping Prefecture by ten or twenty times, but no one has paid attention to it.
Outside the city, Cui Xian had already brought out a few weaver girls.
There were many people, and in order to avoid suspicion, Cui Xian made half a mask with black gauze and covered her face from under her eyes.
Zheng Lang said: "No. ”
Cui Xian didn't listen.
Zheng Lang had no choice but to let her, there are too many people, not walking, just walk over, stay in that bamboo shed all day long, the audience is like a mountain, it is a little unsightly. However, people also love beauty, just a mask, Cui Xian just embroidered a few peony flowers on it, and some black twig patterns, which made Zheng Lang cry and laugh.
Seeing her embroidery, Jiang Xing'er and Si'er learned, and each embroidered a mask and put it on their faces.
From a distance, he saw the three masked girls standing conspicuously among the girls, and Zheng Lang smiled helplessly.
In addition, there are some cloths hanging, not much, only a few feet each, for specimens. There are silk, Luo, brocade, silk, cotton, yarn, carved silk, embroidery, silk, silk thread, silk and silk thread is a specialty of Taiping Prefecture, but this silk and silk thread is not the other silk and silk thread, far better than the silk produced in Taiping Prefecture.
These weaver girls are all weavers from the palace, and the most sophisticated weavers are selected from all over the country. That weaver girl's craftsmanship can also become a leader in Taiping Prefecture. There are other textiles in the Song Dynasty, which are no longer held by these weaver girls, and there are no samples of them, and they are not displayed.
There are also some samples in several boxes at home, which are skirts, clothes, shirts, robes, undergarments, handkerchiefs, towels, socks, quilts, curtains, curtains, and carved silk paintings, that is, mature works, which have not been taken out for the time being. Learning to walk is useless until you learn to climb well.
These fabrics are from the hands of these weaver girls, and even the female red made by Cui Xian and Jiang Xing'er are hung on the ropes by the shed one by one, attracting an exclamation. A simple ceremony was held, Zheng Lang was very sloppy about this, with this money, it is better to help a few more poor people, it is a pure waste.
Some firecrackers were put off, the loom was carried in, and the teaching began.
There were men and women in the audience, but there were two officials guarding the outside, and only the women were allowed into the pergola to avoid immorality. Originally, weaving is a woman's job, what is it for a big man to run in?
There are many people, Si'er weaving is slightly inferior, volunteered to stand up to maintain order, clumsily commanded the women who entered the shed to learn art, stood in line, first observed, and then sat on the loom to take turns to learn by hand, Cui Xian and Jiang Xinger kept patrolling and guiding.
There were still too many people, and it was hot, so the three girls kept wiping their sweat with handkerchiefs.
This moved the viewers.
Two students in the crowd spoke: "Only the rule of officials has come to an end." ”
"Brother Lu, I'm afraid it's the next governor who will be difficult."
Both students snickered.
Hugh said that the next governor, the entire Song Dynasty, like the couple of small champions, can not find a few who govern the territory.
Even if you have this heart, you don't have this power.
Then the two looked at the four students beside Zheng Lang with envy, and Brother Lu pulled the younger students, and said in Yangzhou dialect: "Brother Shao, let's go, maybe Zheng Zhuangyuan's students, we will bump into one or two of them in the next scientific examination." ”
I heard that the imperial court is planning to change the scientific examination to a three-year examination in the future, and among the four students in Xinzhizhou in Taiping Prefecture, Lu Gongzhu and Sima Guang are approaching the age and crown period, and they will inevitably participate in the scientific examination.
Both are conceited and can compete with them in the exam room.
But they neglected one thing, scientific examination is one of them, the way of governing and being an official is also one of them, scientific examination is to open the door to enter the officialdom, and the last two points are the laws of officialdom. Can you defeat Lu Gongshu and Sima Guang in the scientific examination, and can you defeat Lu Gongshu and Sima Guang who have been carefully trained by Zheng Lang in the official career?
After finishing speaking, the two of them got on the boat, and this time they came to Taiping Prefecture to hear about the monument, and deliberately rushed to Taiping Prefecture from Yangzhou and Danyang to meet together, and they expanded Zheng Lang together.
There were too many spectators, and the two came and went, and no one paid attention.
As soon as their small boat left, another large ship sailed to the dock in Taiping Prefecture. Zheng Lang looked at it and took the officials back. This is a woman's work, Cui Xian has arranged enough, and it is inconvenient for her to interfere.
As soon as he arrived at the state office, Uncle Lu San came to the court and reported to him: "Jiangning is here." ”
"Okay." is waiting for them.
There are a lot of people coming, let Wang Yi help, invite a fallen son from Jiangning, if you don't want to take the provincial examination again, come and help yourself, but the conditions are a little high, you must be shrewd and capable, it is best to be the son of an official eunuch, so that you have a certain experience in officialdom, or you can have some understanding of officialdom, the age can not be too big, if you become an old man who follows you is not very flexible, and when you are cultivated, you can't walk, then it is terrible. It can't be too small, too small and it will be frizzy.
It is best to be like Uncle Lu, who is about forty years old, has a certain amount of experience, and his children are honest and benevolent, so he doesn't have to worry about the future, and he has reached a stable time to do things.
The other two people have slightly lower conditions, as long as they are shrewd and loyal, and they are good at being guards. However, considering that there is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, the condition of the note is that there must be a good water surname.
There are more than 60 craftsmen from all walks of life, not counting, after a month, all let them return to Jiangning.
When he returned home, there was no one else in the house, only four students were studying, Yang Jiujin was working as a guard, and his younger brother and Ding Sheng and a few little maids rushed to the bamboo shed to watch the excitement, and by the way, they hid in the dark to protect.
In the living room, four students are eye-to-eye with a young girl.
Zheng Lang also looked at the girl curiously and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
looked at the guest again, suddenly realized, and said, "It turns out that you came with Niangniang." ”
In the middle of the room sat a few guests, two big men, about the same guards that Wang Yi had hired for him, and a scribe in his forties, very thin, who was about the steward that Wang Yi had hired for him, and brought a good-looking woman. Zheng Lang didn't object, unlike Third Uncle Lu, he just protected Lu Gongzhu, and when Lu Gongzhu grew up in three or two years, he would take Lu Gongzhu back. It is possible that this scribe will be with him for a long time, and it makes sense to bring a family member with him. is a human being, and there are always seven emotions and six desires.
But this woman is very much like this maiden.
So there is this.
The girl's face flushed, and the woman's face also turned red, and said, "Zheng Zhizhou, you misunderstood, I am the eldest sister, and she is my tenth sister." ”
It was the big wave sister of the pair of Wei sisters I met in Linjiang Temple.
"Ten sisters."
"Hmph, I have seven sisters, and that day was my fifth sister." Wei Shi Niang wrinkled her little nose proudly.
"Seven sisters," Zheng Lang had black sweat on his face, there were ten sisters and brothers in the family, and it was so far away for him. Then looked at the scribe, the scribe said: "The next name is Shi Congguang, the word goes to the cloud, the Jiangning people's clan, the eighth year of Dazhong Xiangfu raised the son, the father is the Suzhou observation envoy, the family row is three, this year forty one, it was Wang Tongju who invited me to come." ”
Self-reported lintel, background, age, place of origin, family background, and fame all made Zheng Lang very satisfied.
"I've seen Shi Saburo."
"Don't dare." After finishing speaking, Shi Congguang took out the letter of recommendation written by Wang Yi from his arms.
After opening it, I looked at it, not only introduced Shi Congguang, but also introduced the two guards, one is called Wang Zhi, the other is called Wang Yuan, good skills, how good is it, Zheng Lang doesn't know about this, he is a layman in martial arts, and he also has a good water surname, and he can swim back and forth in the Yangtze River.
The Yangtze River in the north of Jiangning is not very wide, but it is slightly wider than that of later generations, and it may be nearly two kilometers back and forth. At least Si'er will stand on the bow of the boat again and act like a stupid bird flying, Zheng Lang will not be afraid that she will fall into the Yangtze River and no one will rescue her.
As for this Wei Shi Niang, she is used to being pampered at home, and she can't do anything wrong, but she can't bear it, and when she heard that her eldest brother-in-law was coming to Taipingzhou, she followed curiously. Shi Congguang and Mrs. Wei were helpless, they couldn't grind her, so they had to bring her.
In the future, they will all be a family, not fake, after a few cold words, Zheng Lang said business, and said: "Shi Sanlang, you immediately take Wang Zhi and Yang Jiujin and craftsmen to Wuhu." ”
"To Wuhu?"
"It is possible that after the autumn, I will do some measures, and before that, I must cut out a cancer in Taiping Prefecture. Wuhu, your trip is still very important. ”
