The two people came to thank Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang took the lead in making Li's mother look dirty. Li's mother finally got to know the terrible things about the scholar-officials. The princess came back and was separated from her. There was also a princess who wanted to improve her bad relationship with Zheng Lang.

But Li's mother's actions still made Zheng Lang quite disgusted. For example, seeing Cui Xian was very polite, whether Jiang Xing'er or Si'er came over, her attitude immediately became bad. Zheng Lang whispered and asked Xing'er and Si'er to go down and learn from Yue'er. Don't live a boring life.

After a few irrelevant words, I sent Erjin away. Besides, it was not what he recommended, so what could it be.

The only ones who know the inside story are Cui Xian and a few empresses. The empresses are still in Zhengzhou, and Jiang Xing'er doesn't know the inside story.

Seeing Erjin leave, Cui Xian stroked her chest, and then used her eyes to blunt Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang seemed to be in a disadvantage in this matter.

Although Zheng Lang paid too much for this, it would be better if Wen Yanbo, Fu Bi and others were the prime minister. Zheng Lang had already been able to serve as prime minister when he came back from Jinghu South Road. As for going down to see the river engineering, it was not easy. Can't it be possible to transfer Tian Yu and others back to see?

After taking a sip of tea, the capital city in July was still very hot, and the huge capital city also had a greenhouse effect. In fact, the aura outside the city began to gradually become more and more refreshing. Cui Xian wiped the sweat from her forehead and whispered: "Your personality has not changed when you are in the official position."

"when."

“sè.a.”

If you want to be flirted at the age of ten, how can you not be so?

Zheng Lang pinched his nose and couldn't make a sound.

"Forget it, but the Zheng family always has a descendant, and even though it is sacrificed, it is worth it." Cui Xian was very distressed for this, and she is still distressed now, but she still has it after this.

Zheng Lang didn't want to listen, so he opened the map again and thought repeatedly. Although the map was marked in detail, it was a fragmented investigation, and there were many imperfections and lack of considerations. It was a thousand-year plan, unless it was planted in Xixia and Shaanxi since the source of Qinghai, or the desert was re-formed, or the desert was turned into a grassland again. This was impossible. But it was guaranteed to have a lifespan of at least two or three hundred years. What changes would the country have in two or three hundred years?

Even Zheng Lang could not predict it.

Not long after sitting down, Ouyang Xiu came and there were more members of the meeting in the future. However, Ouyang Xiu came not to divide the cake, but to ask for strategies to cure the river.

The relationship between the two people has never been very good, but it is the main thing, and only talks about the important things. The relationship is irrelevant.

After sitting down, Ouyang Xiu asked, "Have Su Shi gone back?"

Among the Great Su, Ouyang Xiu still likes the Great Su a little.

"No, I sent me to Meizhou, preparing to connect their family to the capital and buy a house for them. This time, I will arrange two suitable official positions for them to continue surveying and surveying."

Ouyang Xiu was speechless. He wanted money and money to enter the family. He wanted to enter the family and forcibly snatched away the disciples he liked. What should he do?

"Su Shi is very talented."

"Uncle Yong, this is true. In time, at least in literary development, Su Shi will surpass you and me. Although literature is important, they ultimately hope to be an official. I will take them to various places to practice, not to teach them literature. In a few years, I may not be able to do it. What I train is nothing more than to learn how to be a good official."

Ouyang Xiu was speechless again. If you were to discuss literature, because Zheng Lang was absent, he might not be above him now. However, if you were to be an official, Zheng Lang's official position was better than himself, and the entire Song Dynasty could compare with him seemed to be indifferent to him. Zheng Lang repeatedly praised Pang Ji, and in private Ouyang Xiu compared them with two, Pang Ji might not be as good as Zheng Lang.

However, when it comes to talent, Ouyang Xiu reported to Qian Weiyan's spirit and cherished it very much. Zheng Lang said to Jiang Xinger: "Invite Su Shi and Su Zhe."

Studying on the second floor behind the Zheng family, the Zheng family had bought a house for the Su family, but Ersu did not leave, and Zheng Lang did not drive them away, so they let them go.

Da Su came over and respectfully presented Ouyang Xiu with a respectful ceremony.

After a few words of politeness, Ouyang Xiu asked them to sit down.

Just a look, there was no intention of taking Da Su back, and he started to do things seriously. Ouyang Xiu said worriedly: "I hear you want to lead the river into Ji?"

"That's right, I have looked carefully. The Yellow River road can no longer be used on the 1st day. The north flow is not open, and it is even more impossible to enter the Huai River. I can only continue to move the river eastward. If a new river channel is reopened, it will not be that easy. It is just a dispute over arable land, which will cause countless storms."

"Yes, but the Ji River is huge." Ouyang Xiu also knew this trouble. If the new river is reopened, it is more than a thousand miles long and the river surface and bank width can reach more than a thousand meters wide, how many fertile land will be occupied? Who would have allowed it? Ah, just these 20,000 hectares of arable land will be arguing. Besides, there is also a new canal that occupies arable land. But a river that leads into Ji River will solve many problems. There is no dispute over arable land on the old Yellow River path towards the east. If you choose a suitable place, the length is not enough for a hundred miles. If the Yellow River can directly connect with the Ji River, the controversy will be reduced.

"So you need a canal, you see," Zheng Lang was looking at the map, and pulled out a map from it, pointing to the map and said: "Control rivers mainly involve sand control. The river sand in the upper reaches are coming. If the river sand does not settle, you can only rinse the water. However, it goes east and avoid the waters of the Taihang Mountains. If there is continuous heavy rain, the water level of the Yellow River will also rise, plus Jishui."

"I'm worried about this."

"But it's okay, you can look down."

"You Liangshanbo?"

"It's it," Zheng Lang said. Today's Liangshan Lake is not the Liangshan Lake in later generations. It is 800 miles long or wide. It is exaggerated, but the area is no less than Chaohu, the fifth largest freshwater lake in China in later generations. How much water will a Liangshan Lake be stored in just one Liangshan Lake? The ten Liuta Rivers are not as good as one Liangshan Lake. Moreover, it can also divert from the New Canal from the northeast of the Yellow River to the north of the Huaihe River to the south, and divide the water flow during the peak of the Yellow River. The road: "When the water level is high, diversion is divided, and when the water level is low, add Ji water to increase the sand flushing efforts, save engineering volume, and reduce disputes arising from occupying arable land. Therefore, I used the strategy of diverting the river into Ji."

Zheng Lang explained patiently.

Before the Liutahe accident, only Ouyang Xiu opposed the most, which made him cheer. If he wanted to support the whole country, Ouyang Xiu had to pass this level.

Ouyang Xiu looked at the map carefully and said, "There will be river sand entering Liangshanpo and the Huaihe River."

Zheng Lang's entire project was set up very complex and sophisticatedly, not only the new canal, but also the sand storage tank. The canal was divided into two parts, and part was a steep gate for navigation. This part was only the sand and water brought by the lock when it was pulled and drained. The flow was not large and the impact would not be great. The other part was a huge steep gate for discharge doors. A very large gate. In recent years, under Zheng Lang's promotion, the steep gate technology has developed leaps and bounds. It has adopted an iron winch and an iron gate technology, which is very close to the later generations of gate technology. The only difference is that there is no electric link.

Before the flood entered the steep gate, another water storage pool was set up, and there was also Sanbai Canal, which was also an industrial lake, so that the river water could enter here and there would be a buffer sedimentation process, and then it entered the flood diversion river channel. Some sand reeds were planted in the flood diversion river channel to further settle the river sand. In this way, the sand content of the river water entering the Grand Canal will decrease.

When entering Liangshanpo, a similar sand storage tank was set up again to further sediment the river sand. It is not only the sand-catching effect, but also the north-south terrain has a high and low suspension difference, which adjusts the water level and distance, which is conducive to the navigation function of the ship.

Continue to slowly enter the Huai River to the south, and there are two more sand storage tanks.

However, this setting may not necessarily make all river sand settle, and the Huai River gradually becomes chaotic. The river sand of the Huai River, coupled with the Yellow River water, will aggravate the changes in the terrain downstream of the Huai River Basin.

Ouyang Xiu was not picky. The country spent so much money, so I always wanted to have a plan for a thousand-year. Like Yang Guang, the Grand Canal was still benefiting from the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Lang just smiled and asked, "Uncle Yong, is the number of people in the country increasing?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Ouyang Xiu asked in confusion. The increase in entrances is also a manifestation of national prosperity.

"Guess how many people are there in my dynasty now?"

"It's difficult, but it won't exceed 100 million."

"It's almost approaching, but how many people in our dynasty founded the country, three million households, and brought the Southern Tang and the Later Han into it. At that time, the Yinchuan Plain had not been lost, and the number of people in our dynasty was only four million. How many households are now?"

"This is inevitable."

"It is inevitable and also a manifestation of the country's great governance, but in a hundred years, how many households will there be in the country?"

"A hundred years later," Ouyang Xiu looked yearning, and he couldn't see it. If he could see it, it would be a terrifying number.

In fact, it doesn’t take a hundred years, without Zheng Lang’s promotion. More than fifty years later, the entrance to the Northern Song Dynasty was only 21 million households registered by the Ministry of Revenue. If hidden households were added and uncountable barbarian households, the number of entrances could reach 150 million people.

Poor China, with the average output of acre of land now only more than 200 kilograms, less than 3 million square kilometers, and one-third of the area is a wild area, which actually feeds more than 100 million entrances. If the military had not been too weak, the Song Dynasty was indeed creating a miracle.

Zheng Lang asked: "Can we get to the entrance of 300 million?"

Ouyang Xiu calculated in his mind that the Song Dynasty had four times more than 80 years since its founding, and the entrance was four times more than 100 years ago. If it was continued to be governed in a hundred years, it would be four times more than 16 times, and it would be fifty or sixty million households. Of course, it would be unlikely. However, it would be 40 million households, and one household would be close to six, without 300 million, and there would be almost 250 million entrances. Then he said in surprise: "There are so many entrances?"

"It's very likely." Zheng Lang said. More than fifty years later, the entrance to the Northern Song Dynasty reached 21 million households, which was that most places in Liangjing, Guangdong and Guangxi were not developed, and the harm of the Yellow River was basically solved one by one. It is 80% possible to postpone the time after 50 years.

But this number is surprising.

Dasu and Jiang Xing'er who made tea raised their heads together.

Xing'er said: "How can you support so much? Ah?"

"That may not be possible. If a mu of land harvested a year can reach ten stones, no matter how much you earn, you can still support it."

"Ten Stones?" Su Dongpo couldn't help asking.

Zheng Lang did not explain much, what is 300 million yuan, and later generations raised 1.3 billion yuan in entrances. As for ten stones, there is nothing wrong. One acre of land in later generations only had a season of medium-rice harvests. But that was later generations. Zheng Lang was very objective and said: "Ten stones are difficult. Although the court introduced various breeding plans to support breeding, the yield was steadily increasing. Once the entrance was really reached 300 million people, if we did not find a way out, it would be a disaster for our court."

Ouyang Xiu focused on the key points.

"One way out, overseas." Zheng Lang said. He is not interested in overseas, but at that time, he did not immigrate overseas. The problem arises. Because of land pressure, there will be countless rebels and rebels.

"Then it is to increase the yield per mu, cultivate carefully, and tap the potential of all land. Once this is the case, the water and soil damage will be even more serious. Uncle Yong, think about it in your mind, what kind of harm will it be if the amount of silt in the Yellow River is more than twice as heavy as it is now?"

Ouyang Xiu changed a little.

Generally, if you don’t come from later generations, you will not have such an idea at all. But if you propose it and tell it out, you will be a little scared.

Zheng Lang said: "Therefore, this river management project is a century-old plan, not a thousand-year plan. In my mind, its role may be exerted for two hundred years, or three hundred years, but not a thousand years, and the key is still the governance of the country. If the entrances are dense, the country can still manage it greatly, and it will create more value and labor. Can't we move a nest to the Yellow River again?"

It seems like a joke, but what Zheng Lang did was to move the Yellow River, and it was not the first time Zheng Lang did this. He had moved the Yellow River once during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was not as large as this time.

Ouyang Xiu said speechlessly: "Can you gain strength to defeat the death?"

Wang Anshi's idea is to win over Yao, and Zheng Lang even believed that it could win over Yao, but he did not want to raise such controversial questions, saying: "It is not to force victory over Yao, but to change it according to Yaodao, for example, if you are cold, should you wear more clothes? Just like managing the river, the Yellow River comes with mud and sand, and has settled over the years. We cannot wear clothes for it, but we can change it to another home."

"this……"

"Uncle Yong, the ability to change the Yellow River to the Yellow River is also a manifestation of national strength."

"Yes," Ouyang Xiu excited this sentence. Yang Guang's cultivation of the Grand Canal is not a skill. The Song Dynasty is now considered a real merit of internal governance if it does not strip the people of the people or control the Yellow River.

Then Zheng Lang's family began to be crowded with people.

Then in the court, Fu Bi led the prime ministers of the East and West governments to write another letter to ask for the title of Zhao Zhen and Daren to the ruler, which was very clear. In order to save the people, the emperor saved money and saved money. The treasury had accumulated wealth to govern the huge rivers. The emperor still maintained a simple style. How could he not do this step if he was not Daren's emperor?

It just so happened that the Censorate gave the headache of this supervision and supervision. The East Mansion had nothing to do, so let's do it. The East Mansion ministers were shameless and flattered for the sake of glory and wealth.

After arguing for several times, a message came from the harem. Liu, the lord of Pengcheng County, came out of the harem, at Dongzhen Palace, was appointed Master Fazheng Xumiao, and gave Huang a Dharma name and sent him out of the palace. At the same time, he also sent 236 palace maids to enter. Last month, he had 214 palace maids to enter due to lunar eclipse.

After hearing this news, several prime ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Xian said: "Your Majesty is kind."

If the emperor is in power, he will investigate the case strictly, and at least he must bring out the official. However, once the official is out, the matter cannot be concealed and will become a big case. Zhao Zhen would rather suffer this mute loss and eliminate the matter. So the big thing turned out and the matter turned out.

Unexpectedly, after Liu went to Dongzhen Palace, his style was still very erratic. Zhao Zhen was finally angry and seized the title of Master Fa Zhengxu Miao, forcibly stripped Liu's hair and became a nun. It was impossible for Zhao Zhen to not be angry at all, but for the sake of the overall situation of the country, he forcibly endured this resentment.

Then an order was issued to set up the He River Control Department and place the He River Control Department in the Secretariat. This time, the river control will use countless resources and financial resources. There are also officials who cannot be placed in the Zheng family to work, which is also out of order.

Zhao Zhen also had selfish intentions and made up for the decision to put Zheng Lang in the middle.

Received the memorial from Jia Changchao.
