The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 269 The Alternative Zheng Guo

"You have stayed in this Crock Temple for so long, and you already have the demeanor of an eminent monk. I am also relieved to let you go to Nantang."

"I'm afraid that if you stay in this monastery for a long time, you will really become an eminent monk, and then I will lose more than I gain." Zhao Xu joked to Jiang Zheng.

"Prince, don't worry about this. I am impure, and the Buddha will not really want me. Besides, I still have concerns in my heart. I can't calm down and practice Buddha."

The concern in Jiang Zheng's heart was revenge. The monks valued the purity of the six senses, and Jiang Zheng didn't conform to it at all. Besides, he was a fake monk.

"Jiang Zheng, if your words are heard by those who admire you very much, you will say that they will be very sad."

"A person like you with six impure senses has an understanding that they can't match. What do real monks like them think of you?"

"Prince, can you blame me? I'm a smart person by nature. I know everything. What can I do? This Buddhist principle is connected with this."

"These people only know how to become a monk, and don't think about other things. Of course, they are not as thorough as I thought."

When Jiang Zheng said these words, his face was full of pride. He couldn't help being proud. A person who has been in Buddhism for decades can't argue with him. How can he not be proud?
"Okay, you guys don't want to offer treasures here. I'm going to let you go to the Southern Tang Dynasty soon. There will be a lot of Buddhist scriptures with you. Of course, there are many people who secretly protect you. You can rest assured about this." .”

Nantang strictly inspects all things that arrive in Nantang, but there is only one thing that will not be allowed.

That is the Buddhist scriptures. The Southern Tang Dynasty admired Buddhism very much and strongly supported Buddhism. The monarch was even obsessed with Buddhism.

"Okay, I've been thinking about when to go back these days, and now the prince said that I'm a little excited to go back."

These people know that this guy wants to return to Nantang as soon as possible to take revenge for those people, so they must tell him well.

"Jiang Zheng, let me tell you that I promised you that one day you will take revenge in a fair and honest manner, but in the days of Southern Tang, you can't ruin my great affairs, otherwise..."

This is not a threat to him, it is better to explain some things clearly in advance, so as to save him from making mistakes in this area in the future.

Jiang Zheng also knew that the crown prince was worried about this, if he would have done this before, now he has other thoughts, so naturally he would not think so.

Not only did he want to take revenge, but he also wanted to rejuvenate his family. Although he didn't know how long it would take, he absolutely believed that his wish would come true.

So Jiang Zheng patted his chest and promised:
"Prince, don't worry. I will definitely not delay our important event. I have a sense of proportion. Besides, my ambitions are different now. Don't worry."

Zhao Xu looked at Jiang Zheng's serious look and thought it was funny, but he believed what Jiang Zheng said, because Jiang Zheng used to look around when he spoke, but this time he kept his eyes on and his eyes were penetrating.

Zhao Xu believed that he was not lying. This guy once had another dream, which was to revive his family.

This is also the wish of his dead ghost father, which he firmly remembered, but he had no chance to realize this before.

Now that he has this opportunity, he will definitely not give up. The prodigal son of a rich man also has his own dreams, doesn't he?

"Okay, Jiang Zheng, I believe you. You stay in the monastery for a few days, and discuss with the abbot that you also bring some monks there. I've discussed everything with him."

"In a few days, I will notify you to leave, and then you can leave for Nantang." Zhao Xu and Jiang Zhengyou said some other precautions before leaving by themselves.

"You mean to send people to the Southern Tang Dynasty to promote Buddhism. Why did you do that?" Zhao Kuangyin heard that his son would send people to the Southern Tang Dynasty with Buddhist scriptures, which was inconceivable.

"Father, don't tell me anything else, I'll just ask you if you know the story of Zheng Guo, a water engineer during the Warring States Period?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, he knew it, anyone who is familiar with the history of the Warring States Period knew this person, even if you don't know him, you can know him by just mentioning the name of a famous thing.

That is the Zhengguo Canal. The Zhengguo Canal located in the Qin State was built by the hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo. This person is amazing.

He was originally from Korea and was an excellent hydraulic engineer. According to the official position of the Song Dynasty, he was more than enough to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

At the beginning, the Qin family was the only one, and the other six countries were guarding against Qin, especially South Korea, a small country bordering Qin.

The strength of this country is really too weak. To use one word to describe it is weak, and it is on Qin's lips again.

Think about it, if you let the old cat sleep with salted fish on his pillow, he will definitely not be able to fall asleep. South Korea is always salted fish.

South Korea was afraid, but he didn't have the strength to attack Qin, so what should he do? Someone came up with a good idea at that time.

Let's send our country's best hydraulic engineers to Qin to help build ditches to show the friendship between the two countries.

I believe that Qin State will definitely agree, and it also shows that South Korea has bowed to Qin State, and Qin State also agreed, so there is Zheng Guoqu behind.

But South Korea's strategy is here. The manpower, material and financial resources spent on building the canal are a huge expenditure.

South Korea just wanted to use this strategy to hold back Qin, so that it would have no time to look east, and at the same time consume Qin's strength.

But later everyone knew that Zheng Guo built the Zheng Guo Canal in Qin State, which has been handed down to this day, and the grain production of Qin State also benefited from the great increase of Zheng Guo Canal.

Sufficient food made Qin a further leap in strength, and South Korea did not escape the fate of being destroyed.

It can be said that South Korea has lost its wife and lost its soldiers. Stealing chickens will not lose money.

"Why are you asking this? I know Zheng Guo and Zheng Guoqu. What does what you said have anything to do with this?" Zhao Kuangyin never seemed to understand what his son wanted to do.

"The person I sent was Zheng Guo. He was the Zheng Guo of Song Dynasty. He was building the 'Zheng Guo Canal' for Southern Tang." Zhao Xu compared Jiang Zheng to Zheng Guo.

"That……"

"I know what you want to say. The Zhengguo Canal that Zheng Guo built last helped Qin State, and Qin's strength has greatly increased, right? Don't worry about the Zheng State I sent. His Zheng Guocanal will only make the Southern Tang Dynasty ineffective. .”

Zhao Xu's wish is to unify the world. How could he increase Nantang's strength? He underestimated me too much.

My Zheng Guo went to Southern Tang to help you, not only helping you to do good, but also reporting your movements to Da Song.

Isn't this Prince Zheng's country different?I don't know how Jiang Zheng felt after he knew that he had become Zheng Guo?
