Seven hundred and seventy-eight chapters new chapter(1/2)
Zhao Xu came in time, firstly, Zheng Lang's illness was cured.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, not afraid of death, but does not make meaningless sacrifices. It seems that Zheng Lang is not doing well, actually does well, combines work and rest, has a reasonable living habit, and does not take it seriously, so that Zheng Lang is always in good health. Huixi City is just an accident and cannot be a constant.
The body is capital. In fact, Zheng Lang is rarely sick in his life, and it is this body.
Although I was sick for a while, I recovered soon.
Second, Zheng Lang recited the "Sutra of Ksitigarbha Sutra" in front of Di Qing's coffin. There were many rumors outside. Most of them believed that Zheng Lang was holding a grudge for Di Qing, causing a group of ghosts to slander and die of illness. I know why Zheng Lang reads the "Sutra of Ksitigarbha Sutra", but there were only four people, Zhao Zhen, Cui Xian, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang.
Zheng Lang wants to go to hell, but this is even more sublimation.
Before letting go, Zheng Lang had his own insistence, and Zhao Xu could not come, so he would probably avoid it.
The changes in thinking made Zhao Xu successfully meet Zheng Lang this time.
...
Zhao Niannu looked at Zheng Lang, and Zheng Lang looked at Zhao Niannu. After a while, Zheng Lang sighed and said, "Zheng Ji, you take Your Highness and the others down."
It was arranged in the Zheng family.
But outsiders didn't know that, and thought it was the emperor's intention, so they asked Zheng Lang to teach the prince and the young master, who was the emperor's grandson, and the former was the eldest son of the emperor's heir. The former was more important, and this was the clearer nature of the emperor's heir.
Zhao Xu is only thirteen years old and doesn't understand what his aunt and Zheng Lang look at each other.
Zheng Lang also taught him seriously.
At this time, there were other people in the Zheng family, some servants, guards, five empresses, Yueer, Sier and the others, and two adopted sons.
Only with rice can you make a good cook, but without rice, you can't make it. The two adopted sons have normal IQ and it is difficult to teach. Until now, Zheng Lang has not allowed them to participate in the imperial examination. If they cannot participate, they will fail once they participate. However, the Zheng family is not in a hurry. If they want to participate, they can participate slowly in the future. If they cannot participate, they can also make up for it.
Zheng Lang took Zhao Xu to his study.
Zhao Xu stood respectfully and gave another big gift. Don't use it strange. This was the case in the Song Dynasty. Even the emperor still sniffed. Besides, Zhao Xu was not a crown prince. What about the crown prince? Think about how Cheng Yi repaired Song Zhezong, a little shit boy. He didn't dare to stand when he asked him to sit, and he didn't dare to sit when he asked him to stand, and he almost turned Song Zhezong into a crazy situation. Compared to Zheng Lang, what is Cheng Yi?
"Don't be so restrained."
"Yes," Zhao Xu said excitedly.
What a heavy snow, can it be open and honest?
Zheng Lang smiled again. Although the person in front of him was just that kind of emperor, he was impeccable. Proper guidance might be a chance for the Song Dynasty. Looking at him, Zheng Lang thought of another person, Cai Jing.
Good and bad are just a thought, and it depends on how the lord is used. Cai Jing was placed in the Zhao Zhen Dynasty, at most Wang Anshi. Lu Yijian was placed in the Zhao Ji Dynasty, and maybe he would be more evil than Li Linfu.
Thinking of this, he handed over two official documents and said, "Look at it."
Zhao Xu opened it and looked.
"Sit down and watch."
Zhao Xu hesitated, but he had talent. Suddenly, he thought that the outside world's evaluation of the husband in front of him was words such as spring breeze and warmth, so he took the courage to sit down.
History has changed at this moment.
Zhao Xu was not as good as Zhao Zhen. First, Gao Taotao delegated power too early, and second, he lacked systematic education. Now he is not qualified to talk about the word "power", but in terms of education methods, not many people in the entire Song Dynasty could surpass Zheng Lang. Zheng Lang's easy attitude was also easy for students to accept.
But Zhao Xu was still cautious.
Zheng Lang was dealing with government affairs. Zhao Xu watched carefully. These were two provisions to compensate for land losses, both within Cangzhou. This section of canal was more cumbersome with water conservancy. There were Hutuo River, three or four tributaries of the Yellow River from the sea, Yu River, Fuyang River, Wudi River, and Shahe River.
Not only should we consider the Yellow River, but we should also consider the canals, the water entering the sea, and the impact on terrain and irrigation. Zheng Lang had conducted an inspection for a long time. Later, Zhou Heng led officials to inspect it for more than a year before finally deciding on the river management plan.
A lot of arable land was also dug.
The land price is not expensive, and the key is that mulberry trees are planted on many arable land.
Mulberry trees grow fast, and some of these old mulberry trees have been growing for more than ten years, so the compensation prices are relatively high.
Also, when we arrived in Hebei, there were many powerful people, and the Shuo Party formed the greatest power. The area with the most powerful people in the Northern Song Dynasty was not in the capital, but in the north, from Hedong to Hebei, so it was called the Shuo Party.
But the difference in the loss of these two shares was so big that Zhao Xu was puzzled.
He stumbled and said, "Duke Zheng, why is the gap so big?"
"Guess?"
“Mulberry trees grow in different ways?”
"No, even if the growth is different, it is impossible to have such a big gap."
"That's it?"
"One is the mulberry field of an ordinary master's household, and the other is the mulberry field of the reason why the minister Zhang Zhibai family."
"Zhang Xianggong has passed away for many years," Zhao Xu was very puzzled. Not only has he passed away for many years, he is also a virtuous prime minister. Even in the world, with Zheng Lang's current status, there is no need to be afraid of Zhang Zhibai.
"That's true, but his influence is still there. Although he passed away, he has many disciples. The Zhang family is still one of the leading major families in Cangzhou."
"Isn't this unfair?" Zhao Xu asked puzzledly as he looked at the official document in front of him. The gap was too big. The same mulberry garden, one acre of land would compensate eight coins and one acre of land would compensate fifteen coins. Although this money was an IOU, it would still have to be repaid in the end.
"It's unfair, very unfair."
"What's the reason?" Zhao Xu asked again, it's so snowy. It must be Zheng Lang's reason for not doing unfair things.
"Because of compensation, many owners are unsatisfied with desires, and the country cannot let them blackmail them. There are only two ways: one is to enforce the law impartially, and the other is to adopt some unconventional means. This compensation is the second type. If Zhang Xianggong is alive, it will be easier to deal with. After Zhang Xianggong passed away, it will be difficult for Zhang Xianggong to have a view of the overall situation. In addition, other people instigate him, it is often easy to cause right and wrong. However, if the law is impartial, he will deal with it with the law one by one, and there will be more right and wrong. The following objections are loud. The mild ones will affect the river control and affect the construction progress, and the severe ones may not even be able to complete the river control. The law is used to deter him. Do you dare to arrest all the large Cangzhou residents together?"
"cannot."
"That is, we have to use some unconventional means to give some special discounts to a few influential families, which are satisfied. First, we will not take the lead in causing trouble, and second, we will even take the initiative to cooperate with the government. The Zhang family did not come forward, but Wang Jiefu came forward to persuade him. After giving some preferential compensation, Wang Jiefu came to the door to persuade him. The people of the Zhang family were very grateful, so they took the lead in cooperating with the government, which not only saved a lot of trouble, but also saved time. Because these big families came forward, the court clearly made more compensation, but actually reduced the overall compensation amount. This is the balance between fairness and unfairness."
"That's it," Zhao Xu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"There are tens of millions of roads, but we have to know where the goal is, and then hold a firm heart. However, it is impossible to go smoothly on the road ahead, and we cannot come rudely. When we encounter mountains, we have to climb, and when we encounter dense forests, we have to carry a bowel knife to cut thorns and woods. When we encounter rivers, we have to find the ferry. We cannot retreat because of difficulties, so we can never reach the other side. We must also learn the way of adaptation and treat different difficulties and different ways of dealing with different difficulties. But no matter how we change, we must be fair and the heart of the great way. Otherwise, if we have adaptation, we will lose in blindly adaptation."
"So profound."
"Don't hurry, learn slowly."
That night, Zhao Xu was extremely excited and wrote a letter to Gao Taotao.
Gao Taotao was surprised and happy when he saw the letter. What was surprised was that this was completely a truth for adults, and his son might not be able to absorb it. What was happy was that with this sentence, not only his son, but also his own son, but also his own will benefit a lot.
Suddenly, I thought of Zheng Lang’s outstanding students. I was very grateful. I sent a very generous gift to Cui Xian, wishing Zheng and Wang’s family a marriage.
Then I wrote to Zhao Xu. I had to follow Zheng Lang and learn well, respect Zheng Lang and think carefully...
Dozens of requirements.
New Year's Day is coming, but there is still little snow falling in the north. It means the capital city. When I arrived in Cangzhou, I still had a small amount of white snow falling. Some rivers also had ice cubes, but it was not thick, and the weather was still very warm.
The people of the north have been accustomed to the severe cold in the north for a long time, and stopped the project before the twelfth lunar month.
Zheng Lang went down to inspect.
Zhao Niannu walked out of the back hall with her son.
Just in the Zheng family, the few empresses knew each other well, and were both happy and depressed, knowing that this matter could not be made public, but they almost regarded Li Gui as the pearl in his hand.
In fact, the Zheng family's house in Yunzhou is not too big, and it cannot be compared with the luxurious prince-consort's mansion. However, whenever they go, Zheng Lang bought a house for convenience. After leaving, he asked the family manager to sell it, and the money sold is often higher than the money he bought. There was also a celebrity effect in this era. Most officials lived in it, but the house Zheng Lang lived in was different. The price was often higher than the price he bought.
But no matter what, it cannot be compared with the palace.
This is the difference. Zheng Lang’s living conditions are not too hard, at least they are not worse than Zhao Niannu’s living in the palace. It is definitely not as good as Li Wei’s living conditions, but this is exactly what Zhao Niannu doesn’t like.
Even if Zhao Zhen is the emperor in the palace, it is the darkest place on earth.
At least the warmth of the Zheng family is not available in the palace.
There is one thing that is bad, and the identity is very embarrassing.
Zheng Lang looked at Zhao Niannu and squeezed his eyes. Zhao Niannu understood. The two walked out and Zheng Lang whispered: "Your Highness, you are over 20 years old."
"Nu Nu."
"Okay, Nu Nu, you are over 20 years old. It's the time of youth and beauty. Find a good family to marry." Zheng Lang said. From the bottom of his heart, can Zheng Lang bear to let this well-behaved little princess spend her whole life for her?
"Mr. Zheng, I am very happy now. My father didn't force me. Why did you force me?"
Zheng Lang was speechless and said half a day later: "This is unfair to you."
"I remember you said in the cave that everyone has their own ambitions, cucumbers and cabbages, and they have their own love. If your son is not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?"
"Okay, then forget it. If you regret it, Mitoliang Huaiji will bring me a private message and I will ask Xian'er to find a good family for you."
"Actually, I don't have high requirements. Just like that, I'm so happy to be able to occasionally leave the palace and take my son to see you. You can't force me to persuade me, otherwise I'll be unhappy. Are you my guardian knight?"
Zheng Lang was speechless again. If it weren't for this guardian knight, how could so many things have happened?
"You have to watch me happy."
"You are not happy."
"I'm very happy."
Zheng Lang was speechless, it was not that he could not say it, and he was too lazy to tell it, but it did not mean that Zheng Lang could not tell it. On the contrary, if he could tell it, there would be few people in the entire Song Dynasty who could match him, unless Wang Anshi and Sima Guang joined forces, he would be very sad.
Mainly Zheng Lang was guilty.
He said that there were three pure people in the Song Dynasty, not including himself. It was because of this that he thought he had some dirty things and could not be such pure people.
"You're going to the north?"
"Yes, this trip is a bit far away. I will leave Yunzhou, go to Bozhou, Dezhou, Qizhou, and then go along the coastal area. Then I will return to Qingzhou. About New Year's Day will come, I will return to Yunzhou."
