A person's growth experience is due to part of his natural qualifications, and part of it is influenced by the acquired environment. Sima Guang's subsequent various futures are the same. Some are born with a good family background, consciously maintaining vested interest groups, and part of them are also acquired. Pang Ji had the most profound influence on Sima Guang. He learned the various practices of Pang Ji who were good at power and wisdom in his later years, and it cannot be said that it is wrong. There are many gentle ministers in the court, including Zhang Fangping, Cai Xiang and Fu Bi, Zeng Gongliang, Wang Yaochen, etc., because of their similar tempers, they all have a good relationship with Zheng Lang. Several of them also have the ability to govern the government, but why did Zheng Lang not recommend them as prime ministers?

Lack of responsibility and courage!

Or he has no overall view or skill. For example, Fu Bi's wrist is weak, so he often suffers from Han Qi. As a deputy prime minister, he is a good helper, but as a prime minister, including Fu Bi, it is not very suitable.

Sima Guang was good at learning his power and strategy, but he didn't learn it well. He brought Sima Guang out to increase his courage and enterprising spirit.

In fact, Sima Guang was also confused at this time. He was far more understanding of himself, a teacher, friend and brother, than others. It is not false to say that Zheng Lang is gentle, but carefully analyzed that unlike Fan Zhongyan, Fan Zhongyan emphasized integrity. Zheng Lang seemed to be another representative of a gentleman, but he was a little indifferent to integrity and moral integrity and was more utilitarian. Everything he did was for the result, as long as the result was good, the others were despised. Zheng Lang practiced the book of the Saint, but thought carefully, and was far away from the original meaning of the Master. Then he thought about Fan Zhongyan and Pang Ji again. The more he thought about him, the more he became confused.

He analyzed from Pang Ji's perspective, thought for a long time and said, "I can't think of it. Mr. Zheng, do you think he will agree?"

Zheng Lang laughed heartily: "Junshi, I don't know either. But I will most likely agree."

This matter is done well. The private salt rebellion in Qianzhou has plagued the court for many years. If Pang Ji was not afraid of lice and wanted to seek political achievements, he would agree. If he was afraid of trouble, he would not agree. The two of them rode horses and continued to move south with the army. Sima Guang stayed in the northwest for a few years. The biggest advantage was that he learned to ride a horse. The army rushed south and Sima Guang didn't feel it was too hard. Crossing the Yangtze River and coming to Ezhou, it belonged to the border of Lianghu Road. In fact, it was a good part of the east side of Jinghu Road. Yuezhou, Ezhou, Dingzhou, Jiangling, Tanzhou, Lizhou, and Fuzhou, which was also a famous state in the Song Dynasty. However, when going south or west, his control ability gradually declined, forming a management method of using blocks instead of surfaces and points instead of surfaces. Until it was completely detained, it was just a form, and even China.

Li Suzhi and Fan Chunyou welcomed Ezhou, which was the first step in Zheng Lang's plan.

Zheng Lang discussed the situation of various routes and said that Jiangnan West Road is better than Jiangnan East Road. Not only is it a geographical and environmental factor, but Jiangdongwei has not yet matured. There is another reason, which Zheng Lang did not say. That is the influence of various dynasties on various types.

Liangzhe Road was a good deed for Qian, who laid a good foundation. In addition, the Song Dynasty attached great importance to internal governance, Liangzhe was the most prosperous world. Shaanxi Road was an influence left by the governance of all dynasties. Hebei Road was originally the best, but due to the Anshi Rebellion, the Song Dynasty attached importance to it, but it was not as good as Jingdong Road. Lianghuai Road was close to the capital and the Song Dynasty vigorously developed it. Jiangdong turned out to be the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty and the Later Zhou Dynasty, and its influence was immeasurable. On the contrary, Jiangnan West Road became the rear of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Because the north forced the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Southern Tang once moved the capital to Hongzhou. Therefore, Jiangnan West Road was also very mature in addition to the Qianzhou area near the Wuling River. Therefore, Jiangdong has always been inferior to Jiangxi.

In addition to the Xiazhou area, Lianghu Road Hubei is better in the east, and Jinghu South Road is the most difficult. Even Tanzhou, the west side is also affected by Meishan Barbarians. If Jinghu Road is good, first, we must pacify the various ambitions of the Song Dynasty, so that they surrender and surrender, and take it to effective management. Second, we must build a passageway, especially Jinghu South Road, which cannot be isolated. The north is better, with Dongting Lake and the river, and the south is not very good.

After the rebellion was put in place, the road was first, which made the various areas south of Jinghu Road and the Yangtze River closely linked to Jiangnan West Road.

It is impossible to build the entire two roads of the road, but there is an extremely favorable place. The two roads have developed resources. As long as the roads near the river are opened, the two roads can be connected. In fact, there are already many areas of roads in each prefecture city. What Zheng Lang did was only to widen it so that it was wider and flatter than before, and could reach various large carriages.

But the project is still very large.

It is divided into four parts in total. The first part starts from the Pingjiang River in Yuezhou. There are Dahe Gushui (Mulujiang River) in Pingjiang. Two avenues are built. One goes east to Fenning, County in Hongzhou. There is Xiushui River in Fenning, and Jianchang on the Ganshui River. It also goes north to Xiushui Road directly to Tongcheng, and from the Chatian Town Avenue in Tongcheng Xiushui Road, which is connected to Fenning through Junshui to Puqi and Dajiang. From Puqi to Puqi to Xianning, Xianning has Jinshui to Dajiang. From Xianning to build Dajiang. From Xianning to build Dajiang, there are Jiuyangshui to Tongshan, Tongshan to Tongshan and directly to Xing**zhou City and Dajiang.

In this way, the Jiangnan area of ​​Jinghu North Road will be closely connected with Jiangxi.

This part of the project seems to be huge and the actual scale is the smallest. Because it is both economically developed in the Song Dynasty, there were originally related road connections, and some were important post roads in the court. What they did was only slightly broadening and consolidation. Because Zheng Lang did not hold an official position on Jinghu North Road, nor was it under the jurisdiction of Zheng Lang, but it was under the jurisdiction of Li Suzhi and Fan Chunyou. This part of the project did not require the participation of soldiers brought by Zheng Lang. It was just the court allocated money and hired migrant workers to solve the problem. It just happened that the twelfth lunar month was approaching. As long as the court did not strip the people of harshness, it could still hire enough labor to achieve this project.

Therefore, it is not the most important project, and the difficulties are getting heavier from the second part.

The second part starts from Liuyang in Tanzhou. Liuyang has Liuyang water to reach Xiangshui, so as the starting point of the second part of the project, the road to the north is built and connected to Pingjiang. This road also has a main road of the imperial court. However, some roads have not been repaired. If you want to achieve unobstructed, some areas must be repaired. Then, a road to the east is built directly to Wanzai, County, Wanzai, Jinjiang water directly to Shanggao and Yunzhou, injecting into Ganjiang. A road to the southeast is built directly to Shangsu Town, Yuanzhou, and Yuanzhou has Yushui, connecting Xinyu, Linjiang Juncheng, Fengzhou, and Ganjiang. The difficulty is the last road, and many areas pass through mountainous areas. Even with the help of black gunpowder, the project volume is very large.

But this part is not the most difficult. Although the project is arduous, the imperial court has strong control over this area and still hires local people to repair it as migrant workers. It cannot be done in one year. It can be completed in two years, as long as it is not too harsh to strip the people.

The next one may be very headache.

The third part starts from Shaozhou, where Shaoshui is connected to the Seshui River. There is an official road in Shaozhou to Tanzhou. The quality of this official road is relatively good. Zheng Lang did not move. There is also an official road directly to Hengzhou and an official road to Qiyang. Some roads are not very good, and these two roads are repaired. Hengzhou water transportation is very developed, including Xiangshui, Leishui, Steamwater, and several roads, such as the road to Chaling, but the road conditions are extremely poor. Leiyang, which swims in Leishui, also has roads to An

Ren and Chaling. The road conditions are even worse, and these two are to be repaired. Chaling itself has Laishui to directly lead to You, County and Hengshan, but then it becomes extremely difficult to open the Yongxin road from Chaling to Jizhou. Although it is not very long, it is difficult to get Luoxiao Mountain. After Yongxin, the situation becomes better again, and Shengye Water goes directly to Jizhou. Originally, Zheng Lang planned to open the Chaling to Longquan County on the Longquan River. However, considering the difficulty of Shihan Mountain, the road is very far away and labor-intensive, he had to give up.

The most difficult part is the fourth and most important part. Starting from Quanzhou, there is Xiangshui River in Quanzhou, and to the south is the most important spiritual canal in Zheng Lang's future development plan. From Quanzhou, there are roads to Daozhou, there are roads, but a small path is almost equivalent to a new avenue. In addition, many areas of this road surface pass through Jiuyi Mountain, and many Shengman are distributed. In fact, from the third part, many roads pass through Shengman. Daozhou has Misky Water, and the middle reaches is Jianghua City. From Jianghua, the county town is widened to Yongming and Guanyang, and Guanyang then directly reaches Quanzhou through irrigation, forming a good internal circulation. Once the road is successfully built here, it will not only drive the economic development of this region, but also effectively manage this region for the country.

Daozhou is the second starting point of this plan. From Daozhou to the road construction to Ningyuan, Lanshan, Guiyang, Chenzhou, and Guiyang, there are roads, but many places need to be renovated. Chenzhou and Guiyang have Chenshui and Leishui connecting to Leiyang and Hengzhou. However, starting from Leiyang, the water surface is a little narrow, which is helpless. Finally, there is a very long road, and most areas start to repair from nothing, starting from Guiyang, directly to Nan'an Army, and Nan'an Army has Zhangshui to Qianzhou, so the two southern routes are closely linked.

Once completed, it will not only help the state manage the region, but will also play an irreplaceable role in local development.

But there are two serious difficulties. The first is that it will cost a lot of money. Civil servants are indispensable. However, the project is huge and it is impossible to use all civil servants. The court must pay appropriate salary. Most of the projects adopt the employment system. People in this area live a hard life and have low salaries. Giving appropriate food and money can make the people happy. However, the labor volume is too large, even if it is small, it will cost a lot of money. Second, the project is large and officials are inevitably corruption. Third, the real black gunpowder is controlled by the court, and other essential materials for road construction must be transported slowly to the north, which is very expensive.

Before Zheng Lang took office as prime minister, after calculation with the Sansi and other related officials, the cost would only cost at least 8 million yuan, which would actually be more than twice as long as it was! Even if the construction was completed in two to three years, it would cost at least 4 million yuan a year!

Therefore, after seeing Zheng Lang's plan and Pang Ji as prime minister, he felt very distressed.

The second difficulty is mostly Zheng Lang's responsibility, that is, many areas pass through Shengman areas and are inevitable to persuade them. However, most Shengman will be disgusted and do not want the court to effectively manage them. In fact, once successful, the living conditions of the barbarians in various tribes will be greatly improved. However, the status of the chief leaders will inevitably be threatened. How many people will care about the life of the tribe? Does Shengman believe in the court's words or will he obey the chief's orders?

For example, the Guiyang Man Rebellion in the past few years was in the area where the Fourth Plan was implemented.

So Zheng Lang brought Zhang Xiao, and Zhong Yan would not stay. He wanted to go to Lingnan with him. Zhang Xiao accompanied him with his eight thousand subordinates, so he would stay and cooperate with Li Suzhi to repair the road. First, increase the labor force for building roads, and second, if necessary, Zhang Xiao organized these thousands of soldiers and suppressed them in time. It is possible that many sections of the road would be covered with blood. In addition, although Zhang Xiao was only in his forties, he repeatedly warned him and did not take risks and let the foreign troops kill him, but he had old injuries on his body and his body was far less than before. Although Jinghu South Road was hard, it was not as good as Lingnan. It was also to maintain the few fruits left by the Chongqing War. Let Zhang Xiao live for a few more years.

This is only the first step in Zheng Lang's huge plan to go south.

At this time, he had to manage the affairs of the two roads, and took the two roads' management to appease the position of the expedition and envoy, and actually went to Lingnan. This position was transformed into the two roads of Lingnan.

Moreover, Jiangxi Road was not the focus of his trip. Even if he wrote about the salt administration affairs of Qianzhou in his memorial, it was not the focus. At most, he cooperated with the court in Lingnan. The focus was on the two lakes, Guangdong and Guangxi, Kuizhou and Zizhou. It was also very rational. Daozhou and Shaozhou were the most western starting points and did not go west anymore. It started from the west of Shaozhou and went to Wugang, County, Jingzhou, Yuanzhou and Chenzhou. The trouble was even greater.

So there are not many ministers who oppose it.

The plan is comprehensive, there are few loopholes, and even the progress and retreat are quite appropriate, so the possibility of failure is extremely small.

The country's savings are getting more and more money has started.

Understanding the war is that this war is for the country to effectively manage the south and for local development. Otherwise, the continuous emergence of Nong Zhigao and others is not a solution.

However, Zheng Lang could not serve as the position of appeasement and recruitment of the Sixth Roads. Once this example was launched, if Zheng Lang had ambitions, he could really be the king. Zheng Lang did not have this ability. He had to take into account the affairs of the Sixth Road, and he had to take it step by step. He had previously served as the positions of Jiangnan West Road and Jinghu South Road, one for the purpose of ease of transferring animal resources, and the other for the purpose of improving the planning of road construction affairs in advance.

The specific matters were handed over to Li Suzhi. Li Suzhi had been to Kuizhou to serve as an official position and had experience in dealing with barbarians. He was also a capable minister, with a good official style and loved the people. Some officials were afraid of it, especially for such a large project. If officials did not love the people, they would not know what chaos would be like.

The second is Zhang Ji. Zhang Ji not only cooperated with Li Suzhi to build roads, but also took on the responsibility of armed suppression. In the next few years, Lingnan will be roughly governed and Zheng Lang will return to Tanzhou to manage Meishan Manchus. Zhang Ji will play an important role. Let him get familiar with it first. After all, it comes from the northwest, which is completely different from the situation in the south.

Fan Chunyou's position was very low, and he started a helper. After following his father, he contributed more ideas and efforts in the northwest. He had experience in dealing with Fanzi, and was mainly appeased and suppression as a supplement was also the main theme of this trip to the south. At the same time, Fan Chunyou also accumulated some experience in governing the people with his father. Zheng Lang used him to assist in several battles and had certain military capabilities. He could govern the people, fight, and could appease the way, and meet the conditions.

It was Zheng Lang's idea to let Fan Chunyou come.

Zheng Lang valued this student as much as his reputation as his later famous prime minister Fan Chunren. He was civil and military talented and kind to the people. When he went to the northwest, he was not old, but he secretly came up with many ideas for Fan Zhongyan. However, people were sometimes too stupid. In the northwest for several years, it was Fan Chunyou's age when he was growing up, but he worked hard with his father, which led to his health not being very good. Later, his father passed away and was sad, and he was not long in the world, so he left only a faint shadow in the history books.

This idea was wrong, so Zheng Lang strongly recommended Fan Chunyou, one because he had talent, and the other because he was for his future. He was afraid that the student would continue to be stupid, so he continued to stay with Fan Zhongyan to serve. Just because Zheng Lang and Fan Zhongyan had successively been a transferee for Jiangdong. He got sick, Zheng Lang simply let Fan Zhongyan live in Suzhou or Hangzhou, and was walking around here two wealthy prefectures so that his body could rest and live in the world. Zheng Lang wrote a letter to Fan Zhongyan, "You take the world as your responsibility and know that governing the world requires good officials. However, there are too few good officials, why should you hold your eldest son by your side and serve you? Staying by your side is a small filial piety, and making the family happy is the real great filial piety. I can't even tell this. What qualifications are there to talk about worrying about the world before you and having fun in the world after you?

He asked Zheng Lang to say nonsense, and Fan Zhongyan also knew that Zheng Lang thoughts and had different political ideas, but Zheng Lang took care of himself in recent years, Fan Zhongyan also knew that he forced Fan Chunyou out of the house and drove him to Lianghu Road.

We have to let Fan Chunyou do something and transfer his mind from his father to the world. Then after Fan Zhongyan dies, he will not be overly sad and the student will be saved in one's life.

Fan Chunyou, Zheng Lang and Sima Guang met, and they were also infinitely happy. After all, they had been together for a long time and had a friendship with each other. The two were whispering, while Zheng Lang was meeting the officials and elders of Ezhou.

This famous wise prime minister from all over the world came to Ezhou, causing a small sensation, and many curious people came to watch. Zheng Lang's rule would not target Ezhou, but he was also affected by some benign influence. After a few years of great governance, Ezhou also became more prosperous, but some gentry a little resentful and raised one thing. Bank Seventeen Prefectures. He chose Jiangling Prefecture on Jinghu Road. Although Jiangling Prefecture is a southern prefecture, Ezhou is now larger than Jiangling Prefecture. With the development of business, it has been a larger scale. .The city is rich and the city is full of people, and the city is far from meeting the needs of residential and commercial needs of the people. So the city develops along the riverside outside the city, which stretches for several miles away. Tens of thousands of families along the river are prosperous, and there are countless magnificent wine houses. The population of the Nan City and the city alone has reached 100,000, and the prosperity is even Jiangning and Yangzhou. If Hangzhou had not been to Zheng Lang's southward journey to Dazhi, and the Ping An Supervision Bureau, it would be inferior to that.

Although Jiangling is good, it is still far from Ezhou, so the gentry is not very satisfied. It is really convenient to have a bank. Why is it located in Jiangling Prefecture, not Ezhou?

But that was not the case. Zheng Lang considered a business at that time, and the second was the geographical location, so Yangzhou was not selected. Quanzhou was selected. Ping An Supervision has had a benign interaction with the domestic economy. Overseas trade increased, which is driving the entire national economy. Quanzhou was selected but not Yangzhou, and the geographical location was equally important. Jiangling Prefecture controlled the Kuishan area and the Meishan Manchu country China, so Jiangling Prefecture was listed above Ezhou.

The specific reason was not explained, and the gentry was persuaded to calm the emotions of the country gentry. It also said that it would take two or three years to expand the second time, and megacities such as Ezhou, Yangzhou, Wenzhou, Qingzhou and Fuzhou would inevitably be selected.

Two or three years was not too long, and the gentry dispersed happily. What should I do? He said he wanted to put on the wind and wash away the dust, but people refused. Famous good officials and wise officials were not allowed to see these things, and it was difficult to force them. But along the way, they attracted passers-by to stop and watch. There were also many discussions. What made Zheng Lang laugh and cry was that he was not handsome, but asked the people to disassemble his facial features and limbs to explain, saying that his forehead was full, his seal hall was shiny, his eyes were bright, and so on. It seemed that every organ was good. Why was it just that when he pieced it together? No one said it!

It happened that the officials from Ezhou were present, so they found a wine shop in Nanshi, booked the venue, and then sat down to discuss it.

Li Suzhi and Fan Chunyou first went to Lianghu Road, and they didn't need to start. Because the Song Dynasty had strong control ability here, various materials had arrived at the Secretariat of the Central Committee to provide reference for Zheng Lang. All Li and Fan had to do was to further verify, and then hand it over to officials of various prefectures to preside over the presidency. Li and Fan supervised the quality of the road and the account books. The latter was actually to prevent officials from being corrupt and could not be avoided, but do not do it too much, and then supervise officials of various prefectures and prefectures to not be harsh on the people.

The real problem is the next two plans. After the Ezhou talks, the plans will be allocated. The two of them will go to Hengzhou and Zhang Ji to preside over the last two plans. With this medium-sized wine shop, Zheng Lang looked at the information presented by Li Fan and others and made some supplements. As the distribution was made on the spot, the speed was so fast that the officials were very ashamed. Then he had a meal and the army continued to go south.

He went south, but the imperial court reported it to Zheng Lang.

First, Wang Yaochen advised that Guangxi had weak defense and was not good at learning the four borders of Shaanxi, and divided the three borders of Yirongyong, and Rong, Liu, Xiang was affiliated to Yizhou, Bai, Gao, Dou, Lei, Hua, Yulin, Yi, Teng, Wu, Gong, Qiong was affiliated to Rongzhou, Qin, Bin, Lian, Heng, Xun, and Gui was affiliated to Yongzhou. He also selected Wuchen as the governor of the prefect and governor of the prefecture, and governed the county. If the barbarians invaded, the three routes led the branch counties to cover the attacks, instead of Xiang was in their own state of war. After Zheng Lang left Guangdong and Guangxi, he was responsible for the position of governors as ministers of two systems and above, and led the position of a minister to the governor of the three routes to govern the three routes. He recruited local people in Chenghai, Zhonggan, Xiongluo and other troops to obtain the old numbers; four thousand people He was stationed in Yongzhou, 2,000 people stationed in Yizhou, 1,000 people stationed in Penzhou, and 500 people stationed in Guizhou. He mobilized some northern troops to station in Guangxi, Jiangnan and Hunan. He was reopened every year and paid 300 yuan a month, giving 1,000 yuan a month, which was slightly heavier than the soldiers in other places, and rewarded them. The soldiers from Jinghu, north and south, Guangxi and east to the east were one generation after another. He was transported all the whole country, and the rice was used for feeding the army. The city of major provinces must be two zhang high and eight feet wide, and the transfer envoys and judges were ordered to be promoted to build. If officials could complete the city walls, courtyards, camps, warehouses and household registration, they would be transferred to an official. The left and right river inspections, the inspectors of the jurisdiction, the village chief, and the commander, and the three hundred soldiers were often read.

Zhao Zhen issued an edict to ask Zheng Lang and Di Qing. Zheng Lang was still staying on Jinghu South Road, mainly asking Di Qing. Di Qing said that, but Zheng Lang did not object too much, especially when building the city wall. In the era of cold weapons, the city wall was still the most important defense measure. As for recruiting local soldiers to block the area, it was also necessary.

But it is estimated that Pang Ji will definitely be more miserable in the Secretariat, so the court's financial pressure will be more difficult.

The censor impeached He Zhongli, who was not a wise man, and changed his wise man to Qingzhou. He Zhongli did not obey the imperial edict. He said that his ministers were not as good as Qin, and even more unbearable to Qing. The civil officials of the Song Dynasty were very awesome. If they did not obey the imperial edict, the emperor would be helpless. A soldier reported that a large-scale college student loved corruption, and He Luli said that he would complain and falsely accusation and whip the blame, and those who whipdled him would wander. Some people said that they might be wronged, but He Zhongli said that their subordinates held the strengths of their superiors and controlled them to the superiors, and that people would be uneasy. It seemed that it was right and wrong, but the Song Dynasty was once

Some small pawns were lawless. Another garrison army in Bozhou wanted to learn from the king, but they threatened the crowd and were in chaos. After learning about it, Guo Shenxi, the magistrate of Bozhou, ignored the death penalty and the court's approval, and immediately killed one person, and tamed the two. After receiving the report, Zhao Zhen suddenly thought of Zheng Lang's words of kindness and power, so he said that Shenxi's small official (referring to officials, only the Yuanwailang) was not easy to get when things happened! It just so happened that the thief of Puzhou captured Jing Yuan, the magistrate of Puzhou, and asked Shenxi to be the governor of Puzhou. Before the whole month, all the evil parties were captured.

The ministers were speechless, and thought of what Zheng Lang said before going south that the south could no longer be weak and had to moderately give some powerful chiefs who were dissatisfied with the jurisdiction of the court. He Zhongli and Guo Shenxi are good examples.

Another edict was that the imperial court set up titles to encourage ministers to make contributions. But now, if you are competing for the customs of competition, how can you be more generous to customs? From now on, I am lucky to ask for an envoy to be an envoy, the Secretariat and the Privy Council will not be given to him by Ji Ziyu. This is in response to Pang Ji's second remarks.

It is also related to Zheng Lang. Chen Zhizhong and Wen Yanbo have always been silent about the increase in titles and the number of officials, and even encouraged them to get the titles of Duke. Zheng Lang has always refused to be the titles of Duke, but has not attacked this matter. The advantage is that the ministers have supported Zheng Lang's other policies, and the disadvantage is that the phenomenon of redundant officials is increasing.

Zheng Lang continued to move south, getting farther and farther away from the temple, but getting closer and closer to the battlefield.

Yu Jing became stupid again. The first thing he did was to make the southern chiefs suspicious, and Yu Jing decided to make them not be together with Nong Zhigao, which was enough. Zhao Zhen was very dizzy when he heard this. I asked you to go to the south to annihilate Nong Zhigao immediately, instead of letting you slowly play for ten or eight years, and slowly isolate Nong Zhigao and let him collapse by himself! Even if the court does not care about these money, aren’t you afraid that these chiefs will be more and more despised by the court, can the court afford it?

However, the second thing is even more stupid! (To be continued...)
