Before that, two things have to be done...

The first thing was to call out a small number of elite troops from the secret service camp and sneak into the Khitan. In fact, this also meant that I wanted to manage Youyun. The court was afraid of leaking secrets many times. Some secret information from the secret service camp was directly handed over to Zhao Xu. After Zhao Xu saw it, he asked in surprise: "Is it possible?"

"Western Xia cannot be destroyed, just like Wang Shao conquered Hehuang, and his feathered arms are constantly destroyed, and the main trunk is immortal."

​​"I'm not in a hurry," Zhao Xu was actually very excited and walked back and forth.

"We can't be anxious. It doesn't take ten years to destroy the Western Xia, but it may take at least fifteen years to prepare for the collection of Youyun, or even twenty years."

"I can afford to wait."

However, Zheng Lang was very worried, so he could only say that Zhao Xu would probably not live a short life. After all, his nanny-style clothing style did not make Zhao Xu so upset. There was also a secret letter. He also gave it to Zhao Xu for a while. After reading it, Zhao Xu lost his mind and said, "How could it be?"

"Maybe, the Queen of Liao has repeatedly advised the Lord of Liao not to hunt. If he doesn't hunt, Yelu Yixin will not be able to dominate the power. Besides, Xiao Guanyin's son Yelu Jun is quite wise and grows older. Yelu Yixin is very afraid, so I decided that he would harm the Empress of Liao."

"He is just a minister..."

"Your Majesty, are there still few people like Li Linfu from ancient times to the present? Therefore, I repeatedly advised Your Majesty to separate power, and my ancestors also divided power again and again to prevent the powerful ministers from appearing, so I made this point. Of course, it may also be because of the wrong judgment of the ministers."

Zhao Xu thought for a while and found that the risk was not small, and the gains could be greater. If used properly, it would be much more than ten times higher than the benefits brought by Ning Lingge back then. Finally, he said: "Accurate."

But it probably has nothing to do with Zheng Lang, and Zhao Xu must live. Zhao Xu's ability to live for a long time not only means that it is possible to recover Youyun, but also means that Zhao Xu can succeed in the government and no longer die of disappointment. There will be no tragedy of Cai Qu, Xing Shuce. Maybe Zhao Xu will grow up in a good environment in the future. In fact, as long as these two emperors of the Song Dynasty have made a smooth transition, there will be no more. As long as these two people can live for fifty years, the prospects of this empire will be unimaginable. Therefore, when Zheng Lang taught Zhao Xu in Yunzhou, he repeatedly asked Zhao Xu to pay attention to his health. But only God knows what exactly.

However, the biggest gain was that Zhao Xu completely let go of his heart when he heard that such a crisis would occur in the Khitan.

The second thing is to verify last year's income and expenditure and make an estimate of this year's finance. Don't even think about owing a burden this year, but you can't let the finance overdraft.

After finishing the two things, the court ordered Wang Shao to return to Beijing to discuss his duties and asked about Western affairs. Many of them were clearly stated in the memorials and had to be asked in person.

Hearing that Wang Shao was about to return to the capital, the capital city was attracting attention.

In order to inspire people, newspapers have published several great victories in the northwest, which is indeed very ambitious. All the people want to see this great hero.

At this time, Zheng Lang threw out his thoughts for a long time.

I didn't say it directly at the capital meeting, but started with a conversation with Sima Guang.

In Zhengzhou, in addition to studying Confucianism, he also wrote about the study of matter. This is relatively difficult, and lacks auxiliary materials, such as various parameters of mathematical chemistry, as well as various physical objects, especially physical chemistry, so it is difficult to write and it is difficult to understand.

There was not finished writing, and there were some of them that Zheng Lang only remembered, and some that could be remembered, but they might not be able to understand them thoroughly. They wrote them down one after another. Sometimes when I recalled a little bit, I remembered it a little bit, and I put it at home. Sima Guang came to visit the Theory of Chaos, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Zheng, is the Confucianism you have practiced? "It's true that he understood the Theory of Chaos as Chaos. It's impossible for Sima Guang to understand the Knowledge in this note, in this world, there will be no one in this world who can understand it, including Zheng Lang himself and Shen Kuo. The reason for recording it was to show future generations a quick way, mainly because the foundation was too thin. Now it is strengthening this foundation bit by bit. Zheng Lang probably won’t see it in his lifetime unless he can live to a hundred years, but it won’t be too long. It is possible that within a hundred years, all kinds of foundations will be solid, his reputation will not be so bad, and the science of studying matter is gradually being promoted, and then there will be qualitative changes from quantitative change. At that time, not only production, but also weapons, even if Genghis Khan is alive, it may not defeat this country. Therefore, stability in the Song Dynasty was the most important in the past two hundred years.

As for whether there will be any bourgeois revolution in the future under Zheng Lang's intentional guidance, can Zheng Lang control it? It is true that the civilized achievements are still there. At most, the system or regime is replaced internally. Civilization will not be attacked by destruction. This nation will still stand proudly in the world. Moreover, there is the future magistrate to further protect the civilized achievements. There will not be so many tragic stories in the future...

Zheng Lang would not say this.

I explained to Sima Guang at that time.

Zheng's Confucianism is a plural view after all. The Master vaguely talked about the plural view, but he didn't say much, but mostly one-sided dual view. The real chaos is Lao Tzu's unilateral view. What is a dual view? That is, one-sided benevolence, righteousness, good and evil, and right.

What is actually impossible, the real existence is good and evil, good in evil, and evil in good, which is a complex composition. That is, the view of diversity, but it is not Lao Tzu's view of one-central chaos. However, even in front of Sima Guang, Zheng Lang did not dare to say that the Master was wrong, but explained it to the Master with kindness.

Why does the view of multiple become a dualistic view? First, the multivariate is actually a binary composition, and the binary is the fundamental, and multiple binary combinations become multiple, evolve into this world and the surname of human beings. It is very similar to the theory of Chinese mythology and legends. Pangu opened up the world, divided into yin and yang, and gradually became the world. This is an acceptable theory.

But the Master focused on governance. One thing cannot be said to be diverse. If you carefully distinguish countless good and good places, countless evil and bad places, then you should not think about doing things. If you treat it, it should be converted from diversity to binary again, that is, simplification.

For example, the system, the reformists say that the ancient system is restored, and the conservatives say that they cannot move the family rules of the ancestors. These are all cunning judgments. In fact, from ancient times to the present, the system has been changed to different aspects. Every country has a punishment for the ills of the previous generations and has made institutional modifications. The new system that has only begun is mostly a good surname system, but people's surnames have a selfish side. Over time, they will tilt it towards the bad side bit by bit. It may become a good side, but this may be very small.

It is right to adjust the system every once in a while, but it is okay to remain unmoved. Once it moves, there will be benefits. Some people will suffer. Those who benefit do not speak out, but mostly make a fortune in silence, and those who suffer will strongly oppose it. For example, when Han Jiang went down to adjust Zhang Yong's method, many people were dissatisfied when implementing it. In addition, Zhao Kuangyin had the authority to punish military generals, which led to the continuous replacement of the Five Dynasties. As a result, the rights of military generals were weakened. He did not expect that the literati and officials could suppress military generals to this day in decades. It is estimated that Zhao Kuangyin would definitely not want to see it alive.

Therefore, we cannot use a multi-faceted perspective, but we must use a binary perspective to analyze what impact and consequences will be brought about when implementing it. If more than 80% of the consequences of good surnames and only 20% of the consequences of bad surnames, we can do the restructuring. Even if it is 30% of the consequences of bad surnames and 70% of the results of good surnames, we cannot move because people's wisdom is limited, and no one knows how many accidents will happen if they continue to implement it. That is, we use multiple viewing and other analysis of problems and the dual view to judge.

After these replies were expressed, everyone was confused.

Zhao Xu asked hesitantly: "What does Mr. Zheng want to do?"

"I want to propose something. I don't have much money and the benefits are huge, but many soldiers will die. Therefore, I have been hesitating in my heart."

"Tell me," Zhao Xu frowned.

What Zheng Lang said was to send a fleet to the American continent to look for plant seeds and seedlings.

I can't tell it directly, but I will tell the story I made up very early again. When he was in Hangzhou, he met a marshal. He once went to the islands to do business. At this time, people believed it. After all, he had already stepped on New Zealand.

Then he said that because he did not use the compass and compass of the Song Dynasty, this seaman encountered a storm on the sea, lost his way, and blew to the other side of the ocean, and lived on it for twenty years. In order to find a way to come back, he walked across many areas on the other side of the ocean, and saw many novel food, fruits and vegetables. These were used in many uses. Zheng Lang attached great importance to it and carefully drew the original plants in front of the seaman in his photo-style drawing method. After confirmation, Zheng Lang preserved these drawings, but at that time the ship technology and navigation industry were not so developed, so Zheng Lang never said it.

The emergence of safety supervision created possibilities. First, the supply point, the supply point even led to New Zealand. Of course, this is his deception. In fact, this move was deliberately promoted step by step, but it could not be said. Second, it is ship technology. Zheng Lang has always been curious about Zheng He's treasure ship. With Zheng Lang's various measures and guidance and the growth of safety supervision, ship technology has gradually matured. A large 30,000 stone ship has appeared on the sea, which means the load capacity has reached 1,500 and 600 tons. It is not enough to not only carry soldiers, but not too big, it cannot be carried.

A large amount of logistics has passed, and there is no supply point to the east. They are all boundless oceans. Even when they reach the other side, they may not be able to obtain food. After returning, the cabin has to move huge space to transport plants. Therefore, the ship must be large, not only large, but also solid. Some ships are small, not necessarily not solid. Some docks have tried to build larger ships, but they all failed. They can sail, but they cannot withstand the wind and waves well. Therefore, Zheng Lang thought that the tenth-thousandth* is not as good as Zheng He's treasure ship. However, in this era, it can be said to be the most advanced ship in the world.

There are too many things he wants on the other side. Potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes are all essential.

But not only these three things, but also peanuts, chili peppers, rubber, fine velvet cotton, and the most important thing. Even if the peppers and peanuts are not found, it doesn’t matter, but this is essential. Jinchona tree, in the so-called artemisinin technology is immature and expensive, malaria is still the number one killer of southern immigrants, and Jinchona tree can replace this gap well. Not only does it affect the south, but also the future prison... Also, cocoa, Xiang Yukan, sweet potato, tomato, and beans,

Lima beans, Western apples, pineapple, sour sausage, guava, pears, cashew nuts, American ginseng, papaya, banana taro, squash, cheeks, human pistachio, egg yolk fruit, snow lotus fruit, dragon fruit, etc. In particular, many fruits will make Guangdong and Guangxi the world's fruit capital, and it is impossible not to prosper. Although transportation is difficult now, there are ways to make these fruits, such as making dried fruits, like sucrose, to make fruits secretly preserved. Then, in decades, there will be earth-shaking changes.

In addition to these fruits, grains, vegetables and medicinal materials, there are also some flowers and some ornamental plants. However, Zheng Lang didn’t know what would be there, and they could be introduced. After all, the Song Dynasty was a country that loved flowers and sings. If all were introduced, how many people would be able to find employment, feed, and how much output value would be created?

Zheng Lang said, put down the paintings he painted and explained their functions one by one.

No one doubted that these pictures had been drawn for a long time, and Zheng Lang had always attached great importance to overseas, and his research and material reasoning that even he could not confirm himself led to the emergence of a huge Ping An Supervision Commission. In recent years, Ping An Supervision has brought about how much wealth to the Song Dynasty, what if it were not for the Ping An Supervision Commission? Even Zhao Xu dared not think about it.

While everyone was looking at Zheng Lang's pictures, they listened to Zheng Lang's explanation, especially when they heard the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes, many ministers were illuminating. Zheng Lang said it was very implicit, saying that their yield per mu would be as high as 500 kilograms, which might be close to 1,000 kilograms. In later generations, the planting method was appropriate and the fertilizer was sufficient, which might reach more than 5,000 kilograms, but it was never possible in this era. But it cannot be said that they are not food, such as the significance of potatoes to Europe. There is also corn, which is the key to the north, which is hard to achieve low yields, and has high yields. The population is increasing, and the whole north is getting economic benefits and a variety of cotton, which leads to the lack of food in the whole north. These things appear, which will represent

What are you doing? You can't think too optimistic about these kinds of grains. It can feed hundreds of millions of people as soon as they appear. That's impossible. Although the Qing Dynasty raised 400 million people, it not only had mixed grains, but also good weather, further developed technology, and extensive cultivation, and increased grain production. You can't think so pessimistic. Although it did not stop the Ming Dynasty from demise, it actually had the responsibility of the court. When they appeared, it was when the Donglin Party and the eunuch Party were fighting happily, so they could not care about these grains, and they did not actively promote them. Therefore, they did not have much effect. So the great man was a great man, and Zhu Yuanzhang saw the role of cotton and issued an edict to promote it. As for the later scholars and officials, what else was there except the seals and seats in their eyes?

In the north, the food is of food, so they ignore the role of fine cotton, rubber, and cinchona trees. However, the problems of some vegetables and fruits in the latter are not very serious, and it doesn’t matter if they can find it better, including peppers, peanuts and melon seeds. But the first six things are indispensable.

It must be a good thing.

But then Zheng Lang talked about his risky surname.

The first is the risk at sea. Nowadays, sailing still runs along the coastline, including going to Oceania. There are continuous islands as supply points and lighthouses are set up to guide the navigation. But it is not possible to go east. Even if there are islands, they are very small islands, and there are few small islands that can be used as landmarks. They can encounter strong winds and waves at any time, and even lose their direction.

In history, Bruno created a miracle and successfully sailed around the world with his subordinates. This was a successful side. At that time, forced by his own environment, Spain and Portugal went overseas to make a living. At first, only one or two of them survived. Seeing the successful side, more and more people actually died in the vast sea.

At sea, you will face great risks.

The second is the risk surname on land. These plants start from Central America and all the way to the southern end of South America. Not only are the environment harsh and speechless, but powerful indigenous people are distributed on both continents. Moreover, these indigenous people have some powerful armed forces, rather than like backward indigenous people in Oceania. The most pleasing way is to prepare some gifts. Where are the indigenous people's surnames lively, so the gifts should be bright in color, not afraid of vulgarity, the more gorgeous the better. They can be used to avoid evil, but can they ensure that they will not be evil when given gifts? There are also great risks on land. Not only are the killing and poking slaves of indigenous people, but also ferocious animals, complex terrain, and the risks on land are no weaker than those on seas.

There is a risk, but the food shortage in the north is getting worse. This year, the drought is lucky to go to the market because it is preparing to calm the price of grain. Last year, it is not good. It saves people from being worried about making trouble, suppressing reforms, and has prepared a lot of food. If there is no such food preparation, what kind of time will the north be today?

With some foundations brought by the Safety Supervision Bureau, Zheng Lang wanted to form five fleets and go to the other side to bring back these plant seeds and seedlings. Each team was 2,000 fully armed, and the cost would not be too high. Even if the gifts were mainly bright, not luxury, the ships were mainly solid, not luxury, and the money used would be accepted by the court. But the number of people could not be small, otherwise even if they got ashore, they would face a catastrophe.

If successful, its significance is quite significant.

However, Zheng Lang was very sober and was definitely not so optimistic. If the five fleets went east and could come back two or three, it would be great. It might be wiped out and no one of them could come back.

In this industry, people will definitely die, and there are still many people who die.

Please decide where to go.

Don’t say that even if the things are brought back, you will not see the value brought by these things, and instead impeach yourself without regard for your life. Don’t say that it is impossible. For example, how many people have seen the efforts made by Wang Anshi’s disaster in history?

Everyone felt very upset together.

Introducing plants, under the Song Dynasty, Chameng rice, Lu beans, etc., under the leadership of Zheng Lang, cotton moved north to Hebei, wheat was promoted to the south, and some fruits, mangos, rambutan, mango, and bread trees were brought back from the South Sea, and many of them were planted in Lingnan and had no chance of being in the Central Plains. However, some merchants brought them back from the south. Because of transportation and storage, the price was very expensive after arriving in the capital. Try more and spend a lot of money to buy some back and taste it.

Fruits are not very meaningful, but the movement of cotton northward brought earth-shaking changes to the Song Dynasty. There is also the pyrethra brought back from the West that made mosquito coils, which is of great significance. It earned two million yuan in money for the court every year, which is almost equivalent to the original two specialty items of tea alum.

At least in the year of the Great Cold, the people who died of frozen death were almost gradually extinct.

There is not as great significance as Zheng Lang said. However, when he hears, people will die, and many people will die, they are a little hesitant. This is exactly what Zheng Lang is most worried about. Every year in the Song Dynasty, many people who died abnormally due to backward medical conditions, some died young and died young due to poverty, starvation and illness, or drowning their children alive. But it has nothing to do with everyone, because since ancient times, it has been inevitable. It should be said that to this day, these abnormal deaths have been reduced a lot.

In the Song Dynasty, it seemed that human lives were highly valued. Death-sentence prisoners could only be sentenced after repeated trials. Human lives were greater than everything, taken from the people, used for the people, and put people first. Zheng Lang was not alone, it seemed that everyone was saying it. But don't take it seriously.

However, those abnormal deaths have no direct relationship with them, but if they push them directly, causing the death of many people, they often become the best targets of attack for political enemies. Even if the war fails, the political path will collapse.

The prospects Zheng Lang said were very wonderful, but many people would die when they heard it, and they all stopped talking.

In fact, it is still a disaster, otherwise there will be ministers with ulterior motives who will oppose it at this time.

Fu Bi opened his eyes, his voice a little hoarse, and asked, "How likely is it that the entire army is wiped out?"

This question is very important. Even if a man comes back safely and brings these plants to the Song Dynasty to promote, there will definitely be controversy at the beginning. After all, it only brings back a small number of seeds and seedlings. If you want to achieve success, it will take several years for the court to develop it. However, as long as there is the beauty that Zheng Lang said, some results can be seen in a year, and the controversy will gradually disappear. As for the soldiers and men who died, the court will allocate funds to their families. Even if a man cannot come back, ten thousand people will disappear, the court will have to spend two or three million to prepare for this voyage. At that time, the soldiers' families will wail, and the whole country will oppose it. No one here can stop it.

"It is possible that the surname is extremely small if the entire army is eliminated, but I dare not absolutely guarantee it," Zheng Lang replied honestly.

"Where is that seaguar?" Wu Chong asked.

"He went back, but the answer was very detailed at that time. These paintings were also drawn bit by bit based on what he said, and he also confirmed them by his confirmation. I think it is very reliable, but he had a low vision, lost his direction, and escaped by chance. He would not think of bringing them to the South China Sea. Besides, many plants are not suitable for planting in the South China Sea. There is no question about their existence and distribution. He has been there for twenty years, at least in the range, and can still judge it. Everyone, don't consider the real harvest of plants, but the risk is considered." Zheng Lang said. The picture has been drawn for a long time. When was it drawn, and who can distinguish it.

Let's remain silent together.

Nothing happened. When something happened, Zheng Lang just released the news, but they allowed it. They must bear the responsibility at that time. That would be ten thousand people and ten thousand lives. At that time, the world will be in a raging way. Whoever nods will be unlucky.

"It's better to do this. Please think carefully," said Zheng Lang. He was a little disappointed. It seems that those present still regard the future of the country more seriously than their official positions.

Zhao Xu's mouth moved, and he wanted to say it, but he didn't know where to start.

Wang Anshi suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I think it's OK. Our country is small, but it has supported so many people. If His Majesty Zhenzong issued an edict to introduce the rice from Chameng, there are so many people now. What would be the consequences of disasters? Just this one, the living people are not just tens of thousands, but millions of people. What Mr. Zheng just said about looking at things in a diverse way and dealing with things in a dualistic way. It is precisely this principle that although the loss is small, the gain is immeasurable, so why can't it be implemented?"

Deng Wan said, "Your Majesty, let me preside over the presidency."

Such a great thing, but no one dares to speak, isn’t it just that something is afraid of something happening? I will be responsible, and I will take care of it.

He may not have such a high self-conscious surname, but he is gambled. However, Zheng Lang breathed a sigh of relief. Whether it is a black cat, a white cat, catching a mouse is a good cat. Deng Wan came forward, and the crisis in the north was so severe, and the parliament was probably passed, and he couldn't help but look up at Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to Deng Qing this time."

The ministers dispersed.

No one made any statement because what Zheng Lang said was too far away and they didn't know what the consequences would happen.

However, Zheng Lang took the initiative to cooperate with Deng Wan to prepare soldiers and had high requirements for soldiers. Those who were only children at home could not go, those who had elderly people at home and children at home could not go, those who were weak and sick could not go, and those who were northerners could not go, and once they were selected, in addition to the salary they continued to be paid to their families, each family would also give another fifty coins.
To be continued...
