Chapter 285: Legend of the White Snake (Part 1)

Fu Bi is also wondering, are there such people in the world?

Zheng Lang was thinking seriously. (, watch the latest update of this book) When it comes to selecting people, Zheng Lang may not be able to select good talents 100%. Although historical books have records, talents have a growth experience. For example, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, will they still be Sima Guang and Wang Anshi in history?

At least they are gradually learning to adapt.

There are also errors in historical records. The history of the Song Dynasty is the most unbelievable history. Only by reading the history books can you see some forced truths. It has been tampered with too much, and it is called "the taboo of a gentleman."

There is still a reference effect. At least no one in front of him can "know people" beyond his ability.

I thought about it for a long time, but I was confused.

Fu Bi asked suspiciously: "Is there anyone like this?"

"Yes," Zheng Lang replied.

In the future, Tong Guan was not Cai Jing, and historical books included Tong Guan as the six thieves at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty. Tong Guan did not do much evil in fact. The battle with the Khitans failed for many reasons. The Western Army used did not get a good rest and fought frequently. Just like Emperor Taizong of Song led his troops to capture the Later Han Dynasty and attacked Youzhou, it was the strongest army of the Song Dynasty, but a tired army. He despised the Khitans. The Khitan side was Yelu Dashi, the strongest general at the end of the Liao Kingdom, and the army was a sorrow army. He also hated the Song Dynasty's short-sightedness and robbery by fire, so he gathered all his strength in the battle.

After defeating the surrendered Khitan, the one who fled to the Western Regions. The Song Dynasty was in tragedy.

In fact, Tong Guan was remarkable before this. Although he defeated Tubo and Dangxiang, he also trained many generals for the Song Dynasty, including Han Shizhong and other famous generals, all of whom came out of his Western army.

This person is the most comfortable.

There is another person, not Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao. They are extremely individualistic, able to deceive others, be shameless, shameless, talented, and flexible, but not loyal to the Song Dynasty. This is an important premise. It is not suitable to endure hardships. However, the other person is very suitable. Li Yuanhao, if he is not a Dangxiang person, but a Song person, and an extremely nationalist, this industry will become the best candidate.

This is a hypothesis.

After thinking for a long time, I had to sigh: "I have to take it again."

If you just want to make a move, it’s not what he wants.

"Let's have a meal," Zheng Lang greeted.

The ancients did not speak when eating.

The Zheng family may not do it, and sometimes they also speak, but when there are foreign guests, they will definitely not speak.

Fu Bi came to ask, but he didn't ask anything. Instead, he had a bigger mystery in his heart and went back in great depression.

Handover the next day.

Generally, the handover is very smooth. This is the rule of the game in the officialdom. If you are picky about others, sooner or later, others will also be picky about you. Unless you are promoted and have a bright future, the officials who will be handover will not dare to speak out in order to curry favor with each other. But the handover mood is different, and I am afraid that the one who takes over will be a confused official, which will leave a mess.

The happiest thing is to take over Zheng Lang's stalls left by officials, which will be basically settled for you. After taking office, Xiao Guicao can do so. However, some officials are stupid and want to eliminate the people's marks on their exes, so they think of ways to be innovative and bring many disadvantages to the local government.

The overall situation is good. This is a country that attaches great importance to internal affairs. There are many officials who are not good, but they dare not force the people to be angry and resentful. For example, the salt households, although they live a hard life, still have a way to survive. The reason why the salt households have never had any major problems.

Zheng Lang looked at it and it was not good or bad.

It is impossible for an official who is good at relying on him to leave you a good stall. It is not too bad. If it weren't for the collapse of the Qiantang River, Zheng Hui might have gone further in the officialdom, rather than being unknown now. Look at the former prefect of Hangzhou or future prefects, how many famous officials have been produced?

After looking at the account book, he did not make things difficult for the actual items. Even if it was wrong, Zheng Lang would not make things difficult for him. He successfully handed over and sent him to the Grand Canal. He wrote another memorial, which was sent to the capital in a hurry. Not only did he ask Zhao Zhen for this real villain, but there were another group of people who had to send it to Hangzhou as quickly as possible. By the way, there was also the memorial recommended by Fan Zhongyan.

Then he said to Fu Bi: "Brother Fu, the matter in Hangzhou is temporarily handed over to you, I'll go down and take a walk."

"How long do you want to go?"

"It's about a month."

Fu Bi was a little dizzy, was it you or I was the prefect?

Zheng Lang patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Fu, no one dares to say that, because of your ability, even if you take over as the prefect of Hangzhou, you will be more than enough. I didn't want to bother Brother Fu, but I promised Your Majesty that I can't do it if I don't go down and take a walk."

As he said that, he left Fu Bi, who was speechless, and left Hangzhou City.

If you are not worried about Fu Bi's "gentleman spirit" attack, Zheng Lang is actually very welcome to let Fu Bi come. In recent years, Fu Bi has served as a county magistrate, several state officials, and has been a magistrate of Jiangzhou and Yunzhou, and has a certain amount of practical experience. As for the talents and virtues of officials, even Fu Bi does not believe it, so there will be no more than ten officials in the court that Zheng Lang can believe in.

If you don’t want to make a big move, Fu Bi can manage Hangzhou in an orderly manner.

I'm worried about a few new Jinshi.

But now I can’t tell the good or bad, so I’ll go down to understand it first. //.com Novel Network//Fast speed, and use a brief and fancy investigation.

Wang Anshi and Yan Rong saw some disadvantages, but Zheng Lang not only looked at the disadvantages, but also the strengths of each county.

First of all, there are many mountains, not big mountains, but mostly hills. Starting from Hangzhou City, there are many low hilly areas around Hangzhou. However, due to the developed hydraulic resources, every mountain is full of trees, bamboo and fruits.

Let’s start from Qiantang to Fuyang.

There are more mountains, but the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the scenery is still good. In addition, I also saw the paper workshop of Chiting Mountain.

The Song Dynasty emphasized literature, and the printing industry was becoming increasingly developed, and the price of books decreased, which made the most demand for paper. Therefore, the people used hemp, bamboo, mulberry, vine, moss, wheat stems, rice stems and mulberry bark as materials to make paper. The official documents of the Song Dynasty were mostly made of hemp paper, but other materials were also famous paper, such as the dragon-whisker paper made of mulberry bark in Shezhou, and the vine paper made of rattan paper made of rattan paper in Liangzhe. Among them, the vine paper in Yanxi is the best, and there is also a famous vine paper in Hangzhou. The boxing paper produced by Quancun in Yuhang is made of ancient vine. Chiting Mountain and Xiaojing in Fuyang also produced vine paper.

This is not the best time to make paper, because in addition to raw materials, there is also a key factor for paper. Water. The clearer the water, the better. In order to get clear water, even in winter, it is knocked to ice to make paper. At this time, the clearest time, it is also called knocking ice paper.

When Zheng Lang arrived at the workshop, he happened to see several craftsmen picking up pulp with their hands, smearing it on the wall, and smoothing it with wooden molds. With the big July sun, it can be dried in a while, and a long piece of white paper several meters long appeared.

Unexpectedly, the prefect would come in person, and the owner of the house came out at a loss.

"You are busy, I just take a look." Zheng Lang said gently.

"Here." The owner of the shop is probably very honest. The workshop is not large in size and the income is not high, so he dresses very ordinary, and his face is full of wrinkles.

Go to command again.

There were only six or seven people in the workshop, and there were even two women, probably the owner's family. A few short-term workers were hired, and a small workshop came out.

The master is still the workshop owner.

After looking at it, the workshop owner might think this is not good, so he ran back and said, "Master Zheng, I'll pour you a cup of tea."

Zheng Lang was very satisfied. He was not the young and young person who was young and tender, which made him speechless sometimes. If he kept up with his age, he would not cause any fuss wherever he went like before.

He said gently: "I have a hard time."

"That's so dare, that's so dare," the workshop owner happily returned to the back to prepare tea and boiled water carefully.

This is not a trouble, it is an honor.

Zheng Lang sat on a short stool and talked to him, asking, "How much does this shop benefit in a year?"

"Not much, Chiting Mountain Paper is not famous for boxing paper. The merchants are pressed tightly and have to pay taxes, but they can barely get seventy or eighty trump cards a year."

“That’s not bad.”

"But Master Zheng, it's very hard. Look at this little hand, the guests like to knock ice paper, so the annual workshop income is frozen. In order to meet the needs of the guests, they are all chiseled ice to get water when they are frozen," he said, and opened a pair of big hands covered with old silkworms, and opened many ticks on his hands. This is the evidence left by the fact that when it is cold, in order to crush ancient vines, they soaked their hands in cold water. After saying that, he sighed again, looked at the trees, bamboo, rattan, grass all over the mountains, and said, "But there are many mountains and few lands, so what can I do if I don't make a living?"

Zheng Lang also looked at the vast forest in the distance, and said nothing for a long time, then asked Liu Zhixian County: "Is there anyone in Hangzhou making bamboo paper?"

Magistrate Liu shook his head blankly.

There are many people making paper in Fuyang, but they are all making rattan paper. Some are made of bamboo, which are other places, such as Fujian, but there is no family in Fuyang.

Zheng Lang lowered his head and thought for a while, and said in his heart that the historical records are correct. The most famous bamboo family in the world are Sichuan Jiajiang bamboo paper and Fuyang bamboo paper. One is that the bamboo material is excellent, and the other is that the water quality is good. However, Fuyang bamboo paper appeared a little late, and it was in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The bamboo paper technology is also very backward and cannot be written in secret. It seems that someone in Yuezhou is already using bamboo to make paper, just like the straw paper in Liangzhe, because it is thick in quality and has low added value.

But how do you make good bamboo paper?

Recall carefully in your mind.

It cannot be based on the records in historical books. It is just a brief record. In reality, there are many more complex procedures to create Fuyang bamboo paper that is admired by the world. This is what he thought. It is already very impressive to make the bamboo paper craftsmanship reach the craftsmanship of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The tea was cooked, and the workshop owner said carefully: "It's coarse tea."

"It's okay, it's tea."

After a few more gentle conversations, I left.

Then I went to Xincheng again. The mountainous area had more terrain. Although it was beneficial to Hangzhou's metropolis, the lives of the people were not very good. This was helpless. The lives of the people in the mountainous area would never be as good as those in the plains. I talked with Su Shunqin for a few words, said a poem for a while, and wrote a few lines of words, which was a communication.

Zheng Lang said: "Brother Su, I am not as good as you in comparison to the poem."

"I dare not, the prefect Zheng is humble." Su Shunqin said, this is from the bottom of his heart. Since Zheng Lang entered the capital, Su Shunqin has always had a good impression of Zheng Lang.

"It's not as good as you. I'm too distracted. Lian Qin gradually put it down. How can I make progress?"

"I want to distract myself..."

"Now is an opportunity. You are not Pang Tong. You are down-to-earth in the new city. At least I am here, and you will not erase your political achievements."

"But this mountain..."

"There are mountains, forests, rivers, and lakes, which are treasures. It depends on how you use them. And it is not the mountains in Kuizhou, and it is close to Hangzhou. If you can't use a unique condition well, how can you talk about lofty?"

Even a small new city cannot be cured, what other ambitions do you want to talk about?

Unless you really have a talent like Pang Tong, is that possible?

In general, Zheng Lang was very polite to him. First, he had a friendship for a while, and second, Zheng Lang was also afraid. If he sticks to his own ideas, Zheng Lang really has no choice but to do it. He dares to talk nonsense to the emperor and say that all the ministers in the court are villains. What do you think? He said in his own territory that he did something wrong and that he did not do well. What should he do? He said slowly: "There are still words. If I don't have time and keep busy, the words may not be as good as you in the future."

Su Shunqin didn't know how to answer.

Zheng Lang changed his tone and said, "But in terms of the talent of administration, you may not be as good as me."

Su Shunqin smiled bitterly. No matter how ambitious he is, he dare not compare with Zheng Lang's talent in administration.

"I ask Brother Su one thing, can the prime minister and the magistrate have the same salary?"

"No, why did you ask?"

Zheng Lang asked again without answering, "If the prime minister's monthly salary is 100,000 yuan, and your salary is only 10 yuan, is that okay?"
