Fanwai 4, Hangzhou Luocheng

After the successful capture of Suzhou, Wu Liu's army took Suzhou as a base and Liangxi grain and grass as a help, and took a year to seize Changzhou and Runzhou from Yang Xingmi, Yang Xingmi was forced to retreat to Guangling and rule across the Yangtze River with Qian Di. So far, Qian Biao has obtained the whole territory of eastern Zhejiang, most of the western part of Zhejiang, basically controlling the two Zhejiang, the imperial court took advantage of the situation to seal it as the king of Yue, and appeased Yang Xingmi, and named him the king of Wu.

Although Yang Xingmi is the same age as Qian Di, his health has not been very good, and he has just passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he has felt powerless, coupled with Zhu Wen's growing bigger and bigger, the pressure from the Central Plains has increased sharply, so he is convenient for Qian Bi to reconcile and not commit the land of the two Zhejiang.

So far, the land of Liangzhejiang has rarely escaped the war during the Ten Kingdoms and Five Dynasties. After a short period of recuperation, the economy of the two Zhejiang provinces rose brazenly, not only maintaining the traditional silk and tea advantages, but also opening up the Maritime Silk Road, crossing to Fusang in the east, and reaching the country of Pi in the south. It was also during this period that the two Zhejiang provinces began to rise to become the economic centers of later generations.

When the Qian clan ruled the Liangzhejiang region, it was a great opportunity for the city of Hangzhou.

East Zhejiang Province has always been headed by Yuezhou, Yuezhou ancient Tu Shan Yu traces, and then there is the rise of the Spring and Autumn Yue Kingdom, the Yue King Goujian lying on the salary to taste the gall. Yuezhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, backed by Huiji, and front of Jianhu Lake.

However, Hangzhou is the birthplace of Qian Biao, initially under the command of Dong Chang, he served as the Hangzhou regimental training envoy, and later added the history of Hangzhou Thorn, and then later all the way to the end of the two Zhejiang land. Qian Biao finally settled on Hangzhou.

There is a lake in the city of Hangzhou, the scenery is beautiful but it has always been difficult to govern, although there has been a white causeway before, but it is still insufficient. Qian Biao then levied 200,000 people and 13 soldiers (the original Hangzhou Badu plus Zixi, Baocheng, Longtong, Sanquan, and Sanzhen) to build Hangzhou Luocheng.

Such a huge requisition will cause huge public resentment if one is not careful, Qian Biao handed over the matter to the seventh son Qian Qian to deal with, in his opinion, the rest of the sons are good at conquest more, and the people's livelihood still has to rely on Qian Qiang.

As for the sixth son, Qian Hui...... Qian Biao sighed, this son does have this ability, but before he could ask about it, he was pushed away by that guy. Qian Biao knew what his son meant, and such a big thing as building Luocheng determined the future pattern of the two Zhejiang lands, and whoever was in charge was the best heir in Qian Biao's mind. The sixth child already has Shen Miao, and he is destined to not be able to leave an heir for the Qian family, and no matter how strong his ability is, he is not suitable for succession, so it is better not to participate in this matter, and it is better to step aside.

Qian Biao had no choice but to acquiesce and stop reading him. There is only one, you can be lazy, but Shen Miao can't, the requisition is too complicated, it is inevitably a big matter, and someone has to help you. Besides, after the matter of Hangzhou City is over, it will be Suzhou City, and Qian Biao has classified Suzhou as Qian Hui's territory, and at the same time ordered it to control Changzhou and Runzhou. In such a position, Suzhou City should also be repaired, at least it must have the status of Yuezhou City.

Therefore, Shen Miao will be an intern.

Of course Shen Miao didn't want to take it, finally Wu Liu finished the battle, they could live in close proximity, and they still had to go out to do such coolies? I don't want Luo Zhao to ask for a letter every day, with beautiful wording and a caring look, but the subtext is the same sentence: dare not come? We'll see!

Shen Miao had no choice but to go to Hangzhou City reluctantly, but as soon as he entered the city, he was shocked by the situation in front of him.

Hangzhou, a city completely different from the atmospheric Chang'an, the sparkling West Lake gives it a softness that is unrivaled, but it does not hide its bearing as an imperial city. In the near future, it became the economic, political and cultural center of China.

The southeast shape is victorious, Jiangwu will be the capital, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people. Cloud trees surround the embankment. The angry waves roll frost and snow, and the sky is endless. The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious. Heavy lakes are stacked on top of each other. There are three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus. Qiang tube clear, Lingge flooded the night, frolicking and fishing lotus baby. Thousands of horsemen have high teeth. Listen to the flute and drum while drunk, and enjoy the smoke. The picture of the different day will be good, and return to Fengchi Kua.

This song that was passed down in later generations even made the prince of the northern kingdom suddenly invade the south.

The atmospheric beauty of Hangzhou was ignored by historical books in later generations, and more literati and artists paid attention to its softness. Shen Miao felt that she was lucky to be able to witness the beauty that had long been lost in the long river of history.

Qian Qian rode a horse to the gate of the city to greet Shen Miao, and when he saw Shen Miao standing aside, he hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Brother Shen~~ Yes, I wanted to build it like this a long time ago, you see that the lake is so beautiful, it is built by the lake like this, and the scenery is built by the mountains, just like a fairyland." See!!! That's the main hall, specially designed here, and the royal street ......"

Qian Qian gushed about the introduction, extremely excited.

Shen Miao's already surging mood became more and more high, and he took his hand and said, "Tell me quickly, what should I do?" ”

"I'm responsible for most of them, but when I encounter a problem, you can help me figure it out." Qian Qian said.

Shen Miao nodded: "You can talk about it." ”

"Let's go! Find a place to go. Qian Qian pulled Shen Miao away, found a small courtyard near the lake, and talked while enjoying the beautiful scenery by the lake, "Here's the thing, a rich businessman suddenly came to the city a few days ago, this person is from Huzhou, doing silk business, although the Central Plains has been in turmoil over the years, but the silk business is not only not bad, but better." I secretly checked it, and his family's property was three times that of my Wuyue treasury, and it was truly rich and rivaled by the country. He didn't say much when he found me, just one sentence: I am willing to pay for free to help repair Hangzhou City. ”

"For free?" Shen Miao obviously didn't believe it.

Qian Qian didn't believe it, so he said: "If he can pay the money, I will just save some pressure." The relationship between the imperial city is faced, and you can't save it everywhere, to be honest, you spend all the money on repairing the city, and I am more willing to spend it on other places, the Qianjiang dam has to be repaired this year, and your dam by the Taihu Lake has to be repaired. ”

"That's right, the community is people-oriented, and you say those are the top priorities." Shen Miao agreed.

"So I want to accept his gratuitousness, but I don't know how to reward him? If you enter the court as an official, it may not be conducive to order, and my father has decided to follow the example of the Central Plains and open the imperial examination to select people. Qian Qian expressed his difficulty.

"Shinong industry and commerce, business is the end, not only does it ruin the order for the official, even if it is given in front of it, it is not comfortable, it is better to change it and give it something practical." Shen Miao said.

When Qian Qian heard it, he felt that there was a play, and hurriedly asked, "What to give?" ”

Shen Miao pondered: Of course, businessmen want to make more money, and making more money is nothing more than needing more sales. But at present, the Central Plains is in turmoil, the traditional Silk Road in the Western Regions is not passable, and the silk that could have been exported is now gone. If the road is not passable, then it can only be transported by sea...... Shen Miao had a flash of inspiration, didn't the famous Maritime Silk Road in history also start from the Wu Yue period? He said: "What is the current situation of the Southeast Sea Road?" ”

"When the Tang Dynasty was extremely prosperous, Dongying sent Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty, the north road was Dengzhou, and the south road was Yangzhou, Yuezhou, and Mingzhou. Yangzhou is now not under our control, Yuezhou has experienced Dongchang's harsh government, the wharf has become a climate, and the wharf in Mingzhou is in use, but it is mainly fishermen. Qian Qian said.

"What about shipbuilding?" Shen Miao asked.

"Shipbuilding, the land of the two Zhejiang has always had advantages, when the Tang Dynasty was extremely prosperous, there were 16 places for shipbuilding, and the land of the two Zhejiang accounted for nine, in addition to Yangzhou, there are still runzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, Huzhou, Hangzhou, Yuezhou, Taizhou, Wuzhou, and another: Mingzhou is also a very suitable place for shipbuilding."

"Really?" Shen Miao was excited, "That's great." The two Zhejiang provinces produce tea, silk, porcelain, if these are exported to other countries, they are all a profitable commodity, the northern and western regions are not passable, we will find a way to go by sea. This is what the merchants who make silk want the most. ”

"You mean the right to ship with him?" Qian Qian also understood.

Shen Miao nodded: "Decentralize the right to shipping, change it from an official camp to an official approval, and at the same time set up a special department to manage it, and at the same time set up a full-time army to take on the role of management standardization and protection." At the same time as the management of the government-run special department, businessmen are allowed to set up their own management, and the institution needs to report for the record, and negotiate and manage with the government-established department. ”

"In this way, the benefits are also obtained, and the rights are also obtained." Qian Qian praised, "Good idea!" Then I'll ask someone to find out the situation everywhere and start to set it up. ”

Shen Miao shook her head: "Since that rich businessman came to the door directly, he must have already figured out the matter, you don't need to make much effort, just ask him directly." ”

"Is it so amazing? Not afraid of being tricked by him? Qian Qian asked deliberately.

"Don't say that you don't need to be suspicious, at least you don't suspect it, you think about it, just a group of fierce brothers like your Qian family, who are galloping immediately, is he deceived? Besides, there is Du Jianhui. Shen Miao asked rhetorically.

Qian Qian hurriedly denied: "What's the matter with him?" ”

Shen Miao immediately heard something strange and made a meaningful "oh" sound.

was so anxious that Qian Qian hurriedly said: "You, don't talk nonsense, I am not like you and Sixth Brother with him." ”

"Why doesn't it look like it?" Shen Miao asked with a smile, after a few contacts, he obviously felt that Du Jianhui's true feelings for Qian Qian were far less than Wu Liu's for him.

Qian Qian hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "It's my problem, I'm ...... I don't have the determination of the sixth brother. ”

Shen Miao was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Qian Qian meant. Wu Liuneng gave up a good future with him, Wu Liu has a well-informed mother, but Qian Qian did not, although the Chen family has reined in a lot after the last incident, but her heart is still full of desire for her son's future, she can be an obedient concubine for her son, but she will never tolerate her son abandoning his future for a man.

And Qian Qiang, the strict education since childhood makes him not have the absolute determination to deviate from the norm, even if he likes Du Jianhui again, he will still compromise with reality in the end and be obedient.

This is also the reason why Qian Biao finally chose Qian Qian as his heir, Qian Qian is diligent and will not come nonsense, this is an excellent master of success. And Qian Qiang's unconditional trust in Wu Liu also allows him to keep the success without worrying about whether the country is stable. With Wu Liu, no one dared to attack Wu Yue's country.

Thinking of this, Shen Miao secretly told herself that she must not joke about this matter again in the future. He smiled at Qian Qian and said: "Your sixth brother is your sixth brother, you are you, everyone's wonderful differences, don't care." ”

"Hmm." Qian Qian nodded and smiled when she heard Shen Miao's comfort, and changed the topic, "I'll go to see that rich businessman tomorrow, do you want to go together?" ”

"Good!" Shen Miao nodded. 166 Reading Network
