"It must be twice," Zheng Lang said solemnly.

Everyone in the room was confused, and Zheng Lang had to tell them the story and principle of Zilu being cowed.

It is Zheng's seed selection method.

The Americas are too far away, and even if they can be obtained, they should pay attention to the evolution and improvement of seeds. They originally wanted to use the power of the government to coordinate the management to make the private seeds sold in an orderly manner, but because Jia Changchao was stuck, they either did not promote them or they could not make profits. They said a lot of truths.

This person is not what Ouyang Xiu thought. He was just a Jinshi. Even if he was a Jinshi, it was not very simple. How many Jinshi have he won the imperial examinations every few years? On the contrary, he has quite accomplished in the classics and is a great scholar.

The Song Dynasty was not as scheming as the Tang Dynasty. Many ideas were very open, but their understanding ability was definitely not comparable to that of later generations. If you want to reverse this idea, Zheng Lang had to make a long distinction with Jia Changchao. This was not afraid. He was in trouble. According to ancient etiquette, he was not allowed to participate in state affairs, and he also explained it. Therefore, he did not distinguish and did it directly. He started doing it last year. Instead, he asked the Fan family to come forward and organize some good households. It was impossible that they were all good households, but there were many big households in the capital who did more good deeds and accumulated virtues.

About a dozen families were all big families with too much money to count. The smallest household also had more than 100,000 guan. They asked these families to take out thousands of guan to do good deeds, but they didn't care at all. So more than a dozen families secretly organized themselves and prepared 100,000 guan for the first batch of funds. First, they bought some arable land from Hebei, Hedong, Henan and Shandong. They were all in closed valleys, but not in deep mountains. What Zheng Lang wanted was not to cultivate crops suitable for deep mountains planting.

They are all on the edge of the earthen hills and mounds in some plains, with not many lands, and eleven places, totaling more than 7,000 acres. They can’t get more than 7,000 acres because the terrain is restricted. They are too small, so these people are not worth managing in the capital, too big. There is no such thing as this area in the north. In the north, the big ones, they only find the area. They buy these lands regardless of the price. Then, through the communication between Zheng Lang and Fan Yuer, referring to some ancient agricultural books, they send special people to study. Then, people are sent to use the single plant selection method in the countryside to select the best seeds, including beans, fruits, vegetables, rice, barley, wheat, sorghum, and water chestnuts that are still used as staple food, as well as cotton seeds brought from the Western Regions and Jiangzhun, which have been tried to plant them since last fall.

The method is the method of the sandbank on the Yangtze River. When the harvest comes, continue to select the best single plant. Ensure that the best seeds are kept for cultivation in the next year. The slightly worse seeds are treated as ordinary harvests, and other seeds are sold to the people as seeds. Some have been a long time and the methods are very novel, including the grafting of fruit trees, which are all in the experiment. God knows that it will be successful in that year. Some have reference materials, such as cotton. You cannot hurry, it will have more than ten years of evolution, and some will see the results immediately, such as wheat and beans.

As for the planting method, it is even more cost-effective. Some people even use nutritious bowls to grow wheat. Zheng Lang was sweating when he heard this, but he did not object. He did not ask for costs, labor, or yield per mu, but the evolution of single seeds. Anyway, these people don’t care about money, so they can do it.

Jia Changchao was helpless. This was his land. Even if he was in the most prosperous place in Kaifeng City, he would develop a vast land to grow vegetables and radishes. As long as he did not break the law, could he manage it? Could it be sent to the urban management department to demolish it? Even if there were urban management departments, he would not dare to be so arrogant in the Song Dynasty.

In a few months, when the summer harvest comes, Zheng Lang deliberately takes care of it. This trip will take a year, not a joke, it is a model for the future. You must make some money and at least you can keep your foundation, otherwise more people will not learn.

If you want the entire country to have excellent seeds, 7,000 acres of land is far from enough. At least 700,000 acres of land must be at least 700,000 acres of land to meet the needs of the entire northern seeds.

And these dozen families play the role of pioneering the way.

They don’t care about money, spend thousands of chunks of money per money, just take it as a matter of less time to go to Fanlou for a few meals, and at least have more or less friendship with themselves, but what about the others?

One reason is analyzed, one end.

Zheng Lang walked out and Fan Yuer came over. When the others saw Fan Yuer, they tactfully drank tea and chatted inside, but none of them came out.

Fan Yuer said, "My husband, take care of yourself."

"It's okay, actually I want to go to Khitan to have a look."

"My husband, you are brave, it's not good."

"You don't understand," said Zheng Lang. Historical books say that the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun refers to Youzhou (now Beijing), Shunzhou (now Shunyi (now Beijing), Ruzhou (now Yanqing (now Beijing), Tanzhou (now Beijing Miyun), Jizhou (now Jinji County), Zhuozhou (now Zhuozhou, Hebei), Yingzhou (now Hejian), Mozhou (now Renqiubei, Hebei), Xinzhou (now Zhuolu, Hebei), Guizhou (now Huailai, Hebei), Wuzhou (now Xuanhua, Hebei), Weizhou (now Weixian, Hebei), Yingzhou (now Yingxian, Shanxi), Huanzhou (now Shuozhou, Shanxi), Shuozhou (now Shuozhou, Shanxi), Yunzhou (now Datong, Shanxi). Only a small part was recovered by Chai Rong and controlled in the Song Dynasty, and most of them were controlled by the Khitan.

To put it more simply, it is the junction of Liao and Song dynasties south of the Qin and Han Great Wall, including the Hebei territory of the Song Dynasty in Sanguan and Yingzhou, as well as the Nanjing Road and Xijing Road of the Khitan. It is also an important farming area of ​​the Khitan, and is mostly inhabited by Han people.

Therefore, after Zhao Kuangyi recovered the Northern Han Dynasty, he jumped north and thought that as soon as the army was launched, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun were just around the corner. Unexpectedly, he was subjected to strong resistance at the city of Youzhou, and the Han people were the main ones. Zhao Kuangyi was stunned.

Zheng Lang knew that this was a manifestation of the success of Khitan assimilation. Not only the Han people in the Khitan, but also the Khitans, have been influenced by the Tang Dynasty since their inception and are not excluded from Han culture. Although they created Khitan characters, Chinese characters are still mainstream in the country, and even the imperial examinations are mostly used. The books of the Song Dynasty are also the most important books in the book market. The Han people live in this environment and do not feel any inconvenience.

But the Song Dynasty was still the richest country, and there were many details, which Zheng Lang did not understand. So he had to take a look and feel for himself what the many problems were. The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun were taken back, and with the financial resources of the Song Dynasty and the Great Wall, the great impact of the nomadic peoples could be offset by half. If the open Northern Song Dynasty could maintain a period of four hundred and five hundred years, how would business develop? How far would science and technology culture improve? It was simply unimaginable.

He said to Fan Yu'er. Then he looked at her pity: "It's just right. When I come back next year, my period of dying is about to end, and I will welcome you into the door."

Fan Yuer nodded, but said in his heart, Sanniang, Siniang, you two must be healthy and healthy. At least until next autumn is safe.

Zheng Lang was ordered to go to the palace again.

Zhao Zhen put down the doctrine of the mean in his hand and said, "I have changed a lot."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have also made a mistake before. I roughly distinguished the right and wrong of Yin and Yang. In fact, most of the right and wrong are difficult to recognize. For example, Yang Yan's two tax laws were used by our dynasty. When they were implemented, they were scolded as a strategy to harm the country and the people. Shang Yang's reform made the Qin Dynasty powerful. But because of the Legalists, to this day, they are still slandered all Confucians. Sang Hongyang's expedient measures helped Han Wu solve the urgent needs and made great contributions, but they were ridiculed by later generations. Therefore, I practiced the doctrine of the mean this time and added one to the doctrine of the mean. Yin and Yang benevolence and righteousness are all a whole. They tend to be yin and adjust Yang in time to balance Yin and Yang. The doctrine of the mean is the way of balance. It is the way of governance. Find the balance point in the middle. The balance point is three, and Yin and Yang are two, which is distinguished for governance. But as the core and principle of things, it is still a whole and complex one."

For Zhao Zhen, these previous theories are a bit complicated.

Only one thing can be heard, because things have good sides and bad sides. The same is true for people. Then there will be disputes and there will be fewer fierce disputes, and a gentle view of governance and worldly affairs will be formed. Smilingly, "It seems that it is your way..."

It is probably difficult to think of Zheng Langduo.

"You just went to the Fan family?"

"Food is the most important thing for the people, and the ministers cannot wait any longer. Therefore, these dozen wise households are instructed to do it first and avoid disputes in the court."

"Well. Be careful when you go to Khitan."

"I have made some arrangements and will be back in April and May next year. Let's take a look at the situation in the Khitan."

Zhao Zhen understood his words. A trace of yearning appeared in his eyes, and then he felt sad.

It's too difficult. If you want to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, you have to solve the problem of Xixia. Think about the power of Xixia. After several major defeats, you still won a great victory against the Khitan. How can you underestimate it? No wonder Zheng Lang used to send troops to Xixia twice, and he took it as soon as he entered and never stayed for a long time. But it's always a good thing for his ministers to have ambitions, and he said slowly: "Zheng Qing, the Khitan can make a long-term plan, but you have to be careful."

"Your Majesty, I will say something boldly. When will I come back? Please do not disclose it."

"You're too careful."

"Your Majesty, although you don't need to doubt someone, I am alone in the Khitan and I have to be careful. Please let Your Majesty know."

"Oh," Zhao Zhen sighed. It seemed that Zheng Lang and Jia Changchao would be difficult to work together for a while.

Zheng Lang said again: "The interests are related. Your Majesty, you are as wise as the sea. You may see at a glance who has what talent and what will happen in the future?"

"cannot."

"This is true for Shi Jie and Sun Fu. After Kong Zhiwen fell into the imperial examination, he always had bad intentions towards the court, but others did not know about it. He was a scholar and scholar, so Sun Fu and Shi Jie occasionally had letters with him. Fortunately, Lu Jujian (Lu Mengzheng's son) was promptly informed and killed him. The court then sat on Sun Fu's poems to Kong Zhiwen and demoted him to the Qianzhou Supervisory Taxation. This move was not a mistake. Moreover, in March last year, when Your Majesty wanted to eliminate the troubles of his friends, Ouyang Xiu still advised him to protect his friends. Your Majesty was inevitably worried. However, Xia Feng hated the gentleman party. Although Shi Jie died, he still said that Jie was not dead. He fled to the Khitan and lured the Khitan into a plan to raise an army. Fu Bi became an insider. Gong Dingchen and Du Yanli, the governor of the Hanzhou Province, were in danger. However, Xia Feng hated the gentleman. Although Shi Jie died, he still said that Jie was not dead. He fled to the Khitan and lured the Khitan into a plan to raise an army. Fu Bi became an insider. Gong Dingchen and the governor of the Hanzhou Province, Du Yanli, were the governor of the Hanzhou Province.

Bao, Jia Changchao still didn't believe it. He first kept Jie's wife in another state, and then dug Shi Jie's coffin. The death was great. Although Shi Jie was very angry, he was kind-hearted and did some practical things for the court. However, he was uneasy and was in vain. His wife and children were in vain. It was also Ouyang Xiu's case and Yin Zhu's case. He then repeatedly wanted to falsely abuse Du Fu and the other two, intending to put him in prison again and be insulted by the confrontation court. Your Majesty corrected it as a good thing and must be done, otherwise once the party was opened, the country would be uneasy. However, the correction was too corrected and overly negative. To this day, all kinds of false accusations are not less than gentlemen, and it is not a dispute between articles. He opened the door to prison more, not only military generals, but also affected the literati. How could the minister not worry?”

Speak with facts.

These methods are far more excessive than what gentlemen do.

It is said that they will not form a clique, but in fact, Jia Changchao is also forming cliques in a faint clique.

But I didn't say much that Jia Changchao had limited ability, and even if time was good, he was not able to organize huge gangs. Moreover, he did too much, which caused the whole family to be alert and made it even more difficult to form a clique.

When talking about Jia Changchao's character, he pointed to the career path and used it in the future. What should Jia Changchao do?

Zhao Zhen rubbed his head with headache.

"Your Majesty, or Your Majesty can be the words of the ministers, and when they come back, they will be treated as Privy Councilors."

The Privy Councilor was the Prime Minister of the Western Prefecture, but his power was far less than that of the Prime Minister of the Eastern Prefecture, and he was even just like the political affairs of the participating officials. As for the real Prime Minister, he could not be mentioned anymore, so as to prevent Jia Changchao from being unbalanced. Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Accurate."

Zhao Zhen took out the memorial written by Zeng Gongliang: "Zheng Qing, have you thought about it?"

"No, every move is of great importance. You must follow the trend. There is no hurry in front of you. You must stabilize the affairs of the country and the people. You must try it slowly. Moreover, every move involves the interests of many people, and I dare not be careless."

"Yes, the country needs peace and stability." Zhao Zhen sighed, and then changed his voice, saying, "I call you to come, and I still want to ask for something."

"Your Majesty, how dare you."

"Niannu wants to learn characters, but I can't write those characters. Please give me some more advice."

Zheng Lang was a little scared when he heard these two words.

"Niannu is still young, you used to be free and easy, so you don't have to be too polite." Zhao Zhi smiled, "What are you afraid of as a child?" He also wanted to take a look. Last time Zheng Lang taught calligraphy, he was watching it from the side, and he gained a lot, at least it was easier to learn than the so-called Zheng style. Moreover, it was rich and gentle, which made him appreciate it very much.

"Your Highness is getting older, and I still have to avoid taboos... But Your Majesty ordered me, but I dare not accept the order." Zheng Lang said helplessly.

After a while, the little princess was brought over, very quiet, not like the little witch mentioned in history books. After coming in, she bowed and gave a big gift. She was still young, but she began to become sensible a little. Zheng Lang thought of a question, some people said that Zhao Zhen ignored his daughter's happiness for politics. As for? What is the relationship between Li Yonghe's son and politics? It's just that Zhao Zhen is compassionate with the fate of his uncle's family. What kind of virtue is Li Yong and that son Li Wei, who forced this quiet and beautiful little princess to be crazy? When he came back from the Khitan, he found a way to meet him.

Zheng Lang said: "Your Highness, you can write a few words first."

Zhao Niannu began to write.

Zheng Lang read it carefully and could not write the magical flavor of Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy style, but he could teach him similarities.

No one could teach his style. It was only speculated that some imitation of Zhao style characters handed in by Zheng Lang. Zhao Niannu did not write them in a similar way, but the characters were neatly written.

Zheng Lang took the pen and pointed it out one by one.

There is a difference between men and women, especially in this tragic era, especially in the Song Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty regarded plumpness as beauty, while the Song Dynasty regarded thinness and slimness as beauty. People should be thinner than yellow flowers, which is the best place for beauty. So when looking at the beauty of a woman, she doesn’t care about the size of her breasts and buttocks, but about slimness. In the end, the slimness, the better. So what kind of woman is thinner? So I went to look for loli together. I’m afraid Zhao Zhen has this deformed hobby. I heard that Zhang, the sister in the palace, dared not eat in order to save weight. As a result, she died prematurely due to her physical malnutrition. But what should I do? Once she gains weight, the emperor will no longer like it.

Therefore, Zheng Lang is serious and sits upright, even more like an old master than an old master.

Zhao Zhen also stood by and watched. After a while, he was about to be tired of standing. He ran to the side to sit up and drink tea. Zhao Niannu flashed his big eyes and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zheng, are you really my guardian knight?"

Zheng Lang shivered, looked at the curious look in the little loli's eyes, and didn't know how to answer. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
