I looked at his silhouette, his nose was straight, his eyes were deep and bright, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly from the memory. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 There is a layer of light on the skin, which flows faintly. The hair is neatly coiled in a bun on the top of the head and held in place with a purple sapphire hairpin. The sable fur coat with a luster color was draped over his slender body, graceful and luxurious.

Such a person grew up hungry. My nose is a little sour and my eyes are damp. He noticed that I was staring at him, and he also looked back at me, and smiled, "What's the matter, I have flowers on my face?" I patted him on the face and smiled, "You were originally a flower, a sunflower." ”

The further south he went, the more boats on the canal, and although there were ships in front of him, the speed was much slower, but Zhou Sinian's interest was much higher, and the prosperity of Jiangnan made him more confident and felt that his choice was extremely correct.

Because of the delay on the road, when our ship arrived at Gangnam Pier, it was half a day later than expected. At this time, the sky was just dawning, and the light smoke-like morning mist was still shrouded in the surface of the canal, and from a distance, the shuttling boats seemed very blurry, only little by little black shadows were moving.

Early in the morning, a cadre of officials dressed neatly on the dock waiting, Ah Zhan received the appointment, immediately set off from Lingnan Road, in time to take office two days before Zhou Sinian arrived in Jiangnan, and now he is standing among the officials who are welcome, and the tall and handsome figure looks like he stands out.

Zhou Sinian wore a dark purple official uniform, led the governor of Jiangnan as a national prince, and was a cadre of officials, including the previous governor's appointment, all of whom knelt and bowed according to the etiquette system. After Wen Ping knelt down, he took out the seal on the spot and presented it, Zhou Sinian did not stretch out his hand, but motioned to Zhou Tong, who was following him, to take it.

He did not greet the officials of Jiangnan as before, or even let them get up, but walked through the welcoming crowd without squinting and got into the carriage with the emblem of the national government. The carriage was wrapped in silk on all sides, and the gold-encrusted windows were obscured by a curtain of dark purple crepe. Surrounded by guards, the horse's hooves strode rapidly, and rushed towards the Guogong Mansion.

I smiled and said, "The prince is so majestic, but these are all colleagues, why bother to put on a shelf like this?" That's not what you've always done! ”

Zhou Sinian smiled: "I just want to show this group of snobs on the shelf." Let them understand who is the real king of Jiangnan. ”

Gangnam-do, a land of abundance.

In the past two years, although the imperial court has been fighting for many years, the war has never affected Jiangnan. It borders Lingnan Road in the southwest and is under the jurisdiction of our dynasty. To the east is the land of Wu Yue, and the king of Wu is in a corner of peace, only seeking self-preservation. It is because the people of Jiangnan can recuperate in the war.

Located between Gangnam Road and Lingnan Road, Sunshine City was once a wild place that had degenerated into an island for exiled prisoners. Now, Sun City has become a fief of Zhou Sinian, and it has always been in a state of autonomy as it comes, with no taxes, no money, no food, and no labor on the island...... In short, except for being included in the territory of our dynasty, Sun City does not do anything else that should be done as a subject under the rule of our dynasty. Everyone, including the emperor, abided by this unwritten rule and automatically continued to dismantle Sun City.

I quietly opened the curtains and watched the sunlight outside fall on the red-brick and blue-tiled houses, and the river began to be washed by diligent women. The street slowly woke up, and the merchants began to remove the door panels, and the shops selling breakfast were full. The convoy passed by, attracting the attention of the people in the shop, and the people took the bowl, treated us as a side dish, pointed and discussed, and then started to eat the porridge and soup in the bowl.

The previous governor of Jiangnan, Wen Ping, was a fellow villager of Wu Xiuneng, and since he took office three years ago, he began a tug-of-war with Sun City and Zhiyuan Villa, the two major forces in Jiangnan, over who is the real master of Jiangnan.

Due to the fact that officials change their term every three years and become officials in other places, the ties between officials and localities are very loose. Taxation, dispatch, and local security, all of which are key to the performance of officials, are all issued by officials at the top, and the specific implementation still needs to be completed by those small officials like the chief Baozheng.

Although the officials are running water, the officials are beaten with iron. These little officials are all from Sun City, and they are local snakes, and they can't get into it with needles or splash water. Those young people who entered through Chongwen Academy and Qingcian Martial Academy, Zhou Sinian was also mostly placed in various key positions in Jiangnan out of consideration for controlling Jiangnan.

Sun City also controls Gangnam's handicraft industry and land and sea trade. Jiangnan has few people and many people, and handicrafts and commerce are the main sources of income in Jiangnan. For more than ten years, Sun City has strictly adhered to the precept of not directly clashing with the government, and has always been a large taxpayer in business, and often takes out money to do good deeds.

Ke Wenpin was unwilling to accept the government's constraints by Sun City, so he removed all the officials in Jiangnan who had a relationship with Sun City and seized Sun City's business in Jiangnan...... As a result, under his rule, there were more and more tax evaders, post roads and docks also had frequent problems, and public security problems were even more headaches......

Wen Ping believes that these are all controlled by Sun City and Zhiyuan Villa, and they don't know whether they want to exterminate the Taihu Lake bandits and the bandits in Sun City, that is, the huge caravan of Sun City. General Jiangnan helplessly pointed to the soldiers in his hand and said to him: "My lord, who do you think these soldiers are enough to deal with?" If the lord can transfer the army's money and food to the imperial court, the humble duty is unshirkable......"

Li Chaozong was busy dealing with the Khitan in the northwest and those warlords who were fighting for independence at that time, and Zhou Sinian was responsible for coordinating the transportation of money, grain and materials, and Yue Linzhan went directly to the northwest battlefield. At this time, Wen Ping impeached Zhou Sinian and Yue Linzhen, saying that they set up slaves to commit murder, raised samurai, and set up the official government, with bad intentions, and were the largest local evil force in Jiangnan. Please ask the imperial court to allocate troops to eliminate these two bandits and never suffer in the future.

Li Chaozong was very distressed about the literary appointment, Wu Xiu was able to govern Jiangnan, although it was useless, but he did not poke out any baskets, and replaced the more powerful Wenpin, but he messed up the Jiangnan that had been straightened out again. Such a rich Jiangnan, not only could not come up with money and grain to support the central government, but even reached out to him to ask for money, food, and people to "suppress thieves and eliminate bandits...... Li Chaozong's rebuttal: Where did the thieves come from? Who are the bandits?

Then there were those who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic and ridiculed: thieves exterminated the Khitan in the northwest, and bandits transported materials in the capital. Some people even directly questioned Wen Ping, did he secretly help the Khitan? Wen Ping can only knock out the front teeth and swallow in the stomach.

Three years later, due to his dismal performance, he finally handed over the seal of the governor of Jiangnan and returned to his hometown in Guanzhong to retire. Because he is very clean, even the bureaucrats around him can't wait for him to leave Jiangnan as soon as possible, so as not to burden himself. (To be continued.) )
