Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

The third reform in the future!
When Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited and excited.

Originally, the Song Dynasty was poor and weak. After the new laws and reforms, the Song Dynasty became prosperous and strong. Now the old party has restarted the Qingli New Deal to allow the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty to operate.

What's more, both reforms have the shadow of Fan Zheng. They are either reforms that were cured by Fan Zheng's medical skills, or reforms proposed by Fan Zheng himself. The next reform will definitely be presided over by Fan Zheng himself, and it will be so amazing.

Moreover, the first reform of the Song Dynasty was presided over by Renzong and Fan Zhongyan, and the second reform was carried out by Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi. As for him and Fan Zheng, the confidants of the emperor and his ministers, their reforms must surpass the first two methods and make the Song Dynasty Unify the world.

Zhao Xu suddenly frowned and said: "If you want to preside over the third reform, Fan Taicheng must become the prime minister, and the only way to become the prime minister is to start as a local official. Although you currently have military merit, you have the experience of reforming the imperial medical office." Gong, if you want to change the law in the future, I’m afraid you’ll have to go somewhere.”

Zhao Xu made no secret that Fan Zheng was a well-deserved candidate for prime minister in his mind. In the future, like Renzong and Fan Zhongyan, Shenzong and Wang Anshi, Zhao Xu and Fan Zheng will surely become a model of mutual respect between kings and ministers in future generations.

Fan Zheng was not surprised by this, and said calmly: "So I came here today specifically to ask for a release from the official family. I want to go somewhere."

According to the trajectory of his previous life, Zhao Xu died suddenly at this time. However, since Fan Zheng entered the palace, under Fan Zheng's care, Zhao Xu often strengthened his body. In addition, Zhao Xu already had the prince Zhao Mao. He was not in a hurry to have a son, indulged in lust, and eventually broke his body.

Although today's Zhao Xu cannot be called strong, he can be considered to be in a normal physical condition and there is no possibility of sudden death. This is why Fan Zheng took the initiative to seek official release. He can accumulate political achievements in the local area and serve in the court in the future. Only after the third reform can things go smoothly.

"Be released as an official!"

Zhao Xu's heart sank. Although he knew that such a day would come, when Fan Zheng actually proposed it, he felt too much reluctance.

Fan Zheng has been with him since he was not in power, giving him advice and suggestions, seizing power step by step, reforming to become stronger, defeating Liao and Xia, and even destroying the Three Kingdoms. Fan Zheng took the greatest credit.

It can even be said that without Fan Zheng, Zhao Xu would not have been able to reach this stage. With Fan by his side, he has always had smooth sailing. Now Fan Zheng is going to be released as an official. However, now that Fan Zheng is leaving suddenly, Zhao Xu suddenly has a problem. Feeling of panic.

"Yes, now the three parties in North Korea and China are working hard and the situation is stable. Both the old and new parties are promoting reforms. Domestic people are living and working in peace and contentment. Externally, the three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Xia are reforming to become stronger. In the short term, they will not take the initiative to provoke wars. Now it is a weak minister It's the best time to serve as an official, and as the officials said, the minister will have a dazzling resume when he presides over the third reform in the future!" Fan Zheng said seriously.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh, what Fan Zheng said was true, now was indeed the best time for Fan Zheng to become an official.

"In this case, why don't you serve as the magistrate of Bozhou? Your official position is now at the fourth rank. In addition, Bozhou's medicine is prosperous because of you. You can show off your talents by going to Bozhou as the magistrate." Zhao Xu thought. After thinking about it, he decided to hand over the governor of Bozhou to Fan Zheng.

After all, if Fan Zheng had not become a forensic doctor, Bozhou would not have been so glorious. Bozhou is a new pharmaceutical capital, and Fan Zheng is a leader of medical families. Fan Zheng can use Fan Zheng's talents and have a glorious resume to prepare for entering the court in the future. .

Of course, the more important thing is that Bozhou is very close to Gyeonggi Road. Fan Zheng can enter Beijing as quickly as possible with just an edict from him.

When Fan Zheng heard this, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he shook his head and said, "It's not an official job. Bozhou is not suitable."

"Why is this?" Zhao Xu frowned.

Fan Zheng explained: "Back then, my father served as the magistrate of Bozhou, and doctors relied on the name of the miracle doctor Hua Tuo to cultivate Bozhou into a new medicine capital. From then on, Bozhou's future has been shaped. Even without Fan, as long as it follows the medicine We are all moving forward, and Bozhou has a bright future."

"Of course, if doctors do not make a qualitative leap, Bozhou's future can only develop step by step. It is impossible to make a qualitative leap, and it will not be able to make dazzling political achievements." Fan Zhengzheng said.

"Then what are your plans?" Zhao Xu asked.

Fan Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Actually, Wei Chen has two choices. Let the officials decide."

"Feel free to speak out!" Zhao Xu said with great interest. He wanted to see which two places Fan Zheng valued so much.

Fan Zhengdao: "The first place is Songjiang Mansion!"

"Songjiang Mansion?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but be stunned. He was an official from the Song Dynasty and was quite familiar with the place names of the Song Dynasty. He quickly thought of the location of Songjiang Mansion, which is a state capital at the mouth of the Yangtze River. Its terrain is flat. , mainly grows cotton, has no other output, and has no outstanding features, how could it be valued so much by Fan Zheng.

Fan Zheng explained: "Songjiang Prefecture is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, where it enters the sea. Now that the Song Dynasty has opened up the Maritime Silk Road, shipping will surely rise, and Songjiang Prefecture is the intersection of the Yangtze River and shipping. It is the center of the eastern coast and will be a transit place for goods from all over the world in the future. If the minister takes charge of Songjiang Mansion, within three years, he will definitely be able to build Songjiang Mansion from a barren land to the largest in the world. A big port.”

“Where the Yangtze River and shipping meet!”

Zhao Xu immediately took out the map and looked carefully at the location of Fan Zheng's Songjiang Mansion, and his eyes lit up.

As Fan Zheng said, before this, Songjiang Mansion had no value, but the boom in maritime transportation immediately increased the status of Songjiang Mansion.

Not only can it serve as a transit point for maritime transport in the Song Dynasty, but it can also carry seaborne goods up the Yangtze River and radiate to the hinterland of the Song Dynasty. In addition, it can also transport goods along the canal by water to the most elite areas of the Song Dynasty. .

If a seaport is built in Songjiang Prefecture, it will definitely achieve the status of Yangzhou, no! Songjiang Prefecture also undertakes a huge amount of shipping, and its future future will surely be better than that of Yangzhou.

"Fan Taicheng really has the talent to heal the country. Maritime transportation has just begun, and Fan Taicheng is keenly aware of the advantages of Songjiang Mansion." Zhao Xu said with emotion.

Without Fan Zheng's foresight, Songjiang Mansion may be able to develop in the future, but it may be decades or even hundreds of years late.

What makes Zhao Xu even more amazed is that once Fan Zheng develops Songjiang Mansion from a barren land into the world's largest port, the whole world will be shocked, and there will be no obstacles in his future appointment as prime minister.

Fan Zheng said modestly: "Wei Chen is just taking advantage of the situation. Without the foresight of the officials to go to the West at the same time to open up the Maritime Silk Road, Wei Chen, despite all his talents, would not be able to play the role of Songjiang Mansion."

Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel slightly proud. Using the power of the Song Navy to sail to the West and open up the Maritime Silk Road was his most proud masterpiece. It not only allowed the Song Dynasty to enjoy the glory of all nations coming to court, but also opened up financial resources for the Song Dynasty. During the confrontation between Liao and Liao, the Liao Kingdom was extremely afraid.

"Then where is the other place?" Zhao Xu asked curiously.

Fan Zhengdao: "The other place Wei Chen wants to go to is Hangzhou!" "Hangzhou!" Zhao Xu fell into deep thought.

Hangzhou is a fertile land. Hangzhou has always had many celebrities serving as the prefect of Hangzhou. The famous Bai Juyi built the Baidi. Su Shi also built the Baidi when he was the prefect of Hangzhou.

However, as Fan Zheng said, although today's Hangzhou is wealthy, it has long been stereotyped. Just like Bozhou, it should be done well, and there is not much that stands out.

"The warm wind makes tourists drunk and calls Hangzhou Bianzhou! Could it be that Fan Taicheng has a way to make Hangzhou surpass Bianzhou!" Zhao Xu exclaimed.

Fan Zheng rolled his eyes and said: "Of course it's impossible. Bianzhou is the capital of the Song Dynasty and the center of the world. Unless the Song Dynasty moves the capital to Hangzhou, Hangzhou cannot surpass Bianzhou. However, in the future, Songjiang Prefecture will rely on the water transportation center of the world. There may be a chance to surpass Bianzhou in terms of taxation.”

"Songjiang Mansion actually has such potential!" Zhao Xu was excited. He had no doubts about Fan Zheng's words. After all, the benefits of the Maritime Silk Road were too great. Coupled with the water transportation that connected the entire Song Dynasty, Songjiang Mansion's The future will be limitless.

However, what is there about Hangzhou that attracts Fan Zheng to go there? This is the strangest thing about Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu asked: "Then why do you want to go to Hangzhou?"

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Wei Chen wants to go to Hangzhou, mainly to eliminate the three evils of the Song Dynasty!"

"Eliminate the three evils!" Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly became solemn.

Fan Zheng said in a deep voice: "The first pest is insect pests! Doctors have discovered that the cause of potbelly disease is infection by schistosomiasis eggs. However, in the south, potbelly disease in the two Zhejiang and Zhejiang generations is the most serious. Wei Chen The primary purpose of going to Hangzhou is to control the spread of schistosomiasis and find a way to control schistosomiasis in the Song Dynasty! "

"Schistosomiasis!"

Zhao Xu's heart trembled. He naturally knew how terrifying schistosomiasis was, and the potbelly disease in the two Zhejiang areas had indeed reached a point where it was almost out of control.

"Second, it's a source of harm!" Fan Zheng said again.

Zhao Xu said in surprise: "Poor! It seems that Zhejiang and Zhejiang are not poor at all!"

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "It is true that Zhejiang and Zhejiang are not poor, but it is only limited to the landlords and the Hangzhou area, and ordinary people are not rich. This time Tong Guan went to the West and got high-yield rice from Champa, which is harvested three times a year. Wei Chen prepared If promoted in Hangzhou, it can solve the population crisis in a short time and make the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang more prosperous."

"Three crops a year, high-yielding rice!" Zhao Xu exclaimed.

Although the water and heat in the south are sufficient, rice in the Song Dynasty is usually harvested three times every two years, or two crops a year. If three crops a year can be promoted, can the rice production in the Song Dynasty be increased by more than 50% out of thin air? That would be a great joy, and such an achievement would be enough to shock both the government and the public.

"What about the third harm?" Zhao Xu said enthusiastically.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "The third evil is Manichaeism!"

"Manichaeism?" Zhao Xu suddenly frowned. He naturally knew that Manichaeism was spread in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Originally, he didn't take it to heart, but now that Fan Zheng took the initiative to mention it, his heart sank.

Fan Zheng said coldly: "Manichaeism is a sect of Persia, a country in the far west, also known as Zoroastrianism and Mingjiao! It was introduced to China during the period of Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty, and was later banned by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. It was then passed on secretly among the people, and the two In the Zhejiang area, due to schistosomiasis and the poverty of the people, Manichaeism also promoted eating vegetables and vegetarianism. It even took advantage of the dangers of schistosomiasis and used talismans and worshiping gods instead of seeking medical treatment. Hundreds of thousands of people believed in it. "

“Hundreds of thousands of believers!”

Zhao Xu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Back then, the 300,000 followers of the Yellow Turban Army caused the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Manichaeism actually had hundreds of thousands of followers. If he climbed up and shouted, the Song Dynasty's external troubles would not be eliminated, but internal troubles would arise again, and it would be difficult for him to live or die. material.

"The transfer envoys between Zhejiang and Zhejiang and the magistrate of Hangzhou are just doing nothing. They sit back and watch Manichaeism grow. It is simply dereliction of duty!" Zhao Xu said suddenly and furiously.

Fan Zheng's face was heavy. He knew that Manichaeism was prevalent in the south in later generations and set off the Fangla Uprising in the Northern Song Dynasty. Subsequently, Manichaeism continued to have uprisings in the Southern Song Dynasty and became the biggest cancer in the two Song Dynasties. That's why he decided to take action to deal with Manichaeism in advance. cancer.

"Manichaeism is a heresy with radical practices. It was banned many times during the Tang Dynasty. I immediately ordered a large army to be sent to Zhejiang and Zhejiang to suppress Manichaeism." Zhao Xu said urgently.

He wanted to dominate the world, and he was about to wait for the opportunity to destroy Xixia and regain the sixteen states of Yanyun. How could he be willing to miss the opportunity because of internal troubles.

Fan Zheng quickly stopped and said: "Don't worry, officials. To cure the disease, we need to find the source of the disease. The reason why Manichaeism is prevalent in the south is, firstly, because of pests, and secondly, because of poverty. If these two diseases are not eradicated, Manichaeism will not be banned. It will even force the anti-Manicheists in advance, allowing the wealthy Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations to recruit troops and cause disaster. "

Zhao Xu finally suppressed his excitement and frowned: "Since you want to go to Hangzhou, is there a solution?"

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "That's right! Religion confuses people's hearts, and it happens that doctors have also been studying mental skills recently. The doctors have identified the main cause of potbelly disease. Once potbelly disease is cured in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, Manichaeism can be avoided. Attracting believers, reintroducing Champa rice, making the people rich, and using certain methods, we can definitely defeat the threat of Manichaeism without any blood. "

Zhao Xu took a deep breath, and he naturally knew that Fan Zheng's evil side had never failed.

"Songjiang Prefecture seeks wealth for the Song Dynasty, and Hangzhou Prefecture seeks to eliminate the threat of Manichaeism for the court. The ministers are in a dilemma, but they do not have the skills to separate themselves. They also ask the officials to decide on one place and send talented people to govern another place. "Fan Zheng requested.

Zhao Xu heard this and said disapprovingly: "What's the choice? Since you proposed both places, then they are both under your jurisdiction."

"Officials are not allowed. A minor official is a fourth-grade official. Being able to be used by the prefect of any place is already a very important position. He can serve as the prefect of both places." Fan Zheng hurriedly declined.

Zhao Xu snorted coldly and said: "Of course I will not let you serve as the magistrate of both places. Turning a blind eye to the threat of Manichaeism as the transfer envoy to Zhejiang and Zhejiang is already dereliction of duty. I have decided to appoint you as the transfer envoy to both Zhejiang and Zhejiang. At the same time, I will give you an imperial envoy." Duty, if Manichaeism rebels in advance, you can rely on my imperial edict to control the troops in the southeast and completely destroy Manichaeism.

"Transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang!"

Fan Zheng was shocked. The transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang was a senior official in the border area and could control the entire route between Zhejiang and Zhejiang. (End of chapter)
