The newcomer Gao Tai did not order to summon the Tusi of Guixi, and the Tusi naturally did not want to leave the country at will and come to Liuzhou Mansion to see, but this did not prevent the Tusi from trying to find a way to get close to the master of the Taitai, so as to understand how this young Taitai wanted to deal with the Bazhai area.

At present, Zhang Ren, the governor of Guangxi, is seriously ill, and Liu Yaoxu, the governor of Guangxi and Guangzhou, supports the establishment of a toast in Bazhai, as long as this high-ranking platform agrees, then this matter is basically ironclad, and the toasts will at most fight for which family will send someone to serve as the Tusi of the Bazhai area on the central axis of Guangxi, but they don't have to worry about the imperial court taking this opportunity to gradually advance its power to western Guangxi.

In fact, as early as the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, the imperial court set up the Nandan Wei in Nandan Prefecture, the serious land of western Guangxi, and the strength of the guard was strong, far more than the normal 56 people of a guard, which gave the Guixi Tusi a huge pressure at that time.

But only nine years later, that is, in the second year of Yongle, the imperial court moved Nandanwei away and placed it near Shanglin County in the east of Si'en Mansion, and later moved it again in the orthodox years, but it was still not far from the Bazhai area.

At that time, there were two reasons for moving away Nandanwei, one was that the Bazhai area in Guizhong continued to be unstable, and chaos was frequent, and it was necessary for the imperial court to transfer a male army to suppress the local area, and the other was that Nandanwei was in the Nandan area, because "the mountains are high and the forests are dense and cloudy, and the snakes and insects are poisonous and reckless", "the rain has passed through the poisonous flow, and the miasma is everywhere", "it is difficult to make it difficult to make a tuntian, and it is really not a happy place to live", so the soldiers died less in battle and died more from disease, which was not cost-effective, so they could only be transferred.

Therefore, the Tusi of Guixi were not afraid of the imperial court's brain pumping, and they had to force their way into Guixi desperately, they were only afraid that the imperial court would slowly advance from east to west through the continuous construction of new cities and towns, and rely on the new garrisons to gradually advance in Tuntian.

This kind of encroachment is what they can't bear, because it means that the power of the imperial court will expand westward slowly, firmly, but unstoppably.

The current arrangement in the Bazhai area is a weather vane for them to understand the new attitude of the imperial court. In their opinion, if the imperial court sets up a toast in the Bazhai area, it means that the imperial court is content with the status quo, and if the imperial court sets up liuguan in the Bazhai area, it is probably a manifestation that the imperial court will gradually press westward.

It was a matter of survival, and there was no toast that didn't care, so a few days later, representatives of the great toast families met secretly in Longtan Town to discuss how to deal with the crisis.

This meeting could not be called a meeting, but the representatives of various families met and expressed to each other their opposition to the imperial court's establishment of liuguan in the Bazhai area. As for how the Tusi should respond in case the Gao Zhitai insisted on not agreeing to the establishment of the Tusi in Bazhai and the imperial court finally listened to his words, no one publicly mentioned it at this meeting.

No one openly mentions it, which does not mean that no one cares, after all, the permanent residence of the Governor of Liangguang is in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, and it must be explained that the residence of the Governor of Liangguang was in Wuzhou, Guangxi 45 years ago, and Jiajing has been in Zhaoqing, Guangdong 45 years later, in short, he is not in Guangzhou.

At this time, the official name of the Governor of Liangguang was "Governor of Liangguang Military Affairs and Charge of Grain and Salary, Salt Law and Governor of Guangdong", so he had the administrative power given by the post of Governor of Guangdong when he was in Guangdong, and only the military power given by the post of Governor General in Guangxi, so his influence on the administrative setting of Guangxi was not necessarily more valued in the center of the imperial court than the Governor of Guangxi and the Governor of Guangxi.

In the courtyard of Jinghu Longhu, there is a small building near the water unique to the south, and there are four people in the building, which are the four remaining after the Tusi meeting. These four are different from other toasts, but they are the four toast representatives who are really the most vocal on the issue of the resettlement of Bazhai.

In addition to the seventh prince and Miss Huang on that day, there were two others who also stayed, one was Zhao Lizhong, the second master of the Zhao family in Si'en Mansion, and the other was Mo Ji, the eldest son of the Mo family in Qingyuan.

In case Bazhai is set up to be managed by local officials, the families represented by these four have the opportunity to become hereditary Tusi in the Bazhai area, so a closed-door meeting was held here.

Although this place is another courtyard of the Huang family, and Miss Huang is the convener, the first to speak is still the seventh son of the Cen family.

This seventh prince is still as handsome and chic as that day, holding a gold-painted black bone fan in his hand, and wearing a white robe with gold embroidered edges that only Tusi can wear in the Guangxi territory, at this time, he said slowly but quite meaningfully, "Second Master Zhao, your family doesn't think about how to squeeze out the Liuguan prefect of Si'en Mansion, so dignified and upright to be the lord of Si'en, but he is staring at the land of Bazhai, I really don't understand that you think the imperial court will be willing to watch the Zhao family's forces so connected?"

Zhao Lizhong's chubby round face showed a touch of mockery, and he said with a smile: "Although the Tongzhi of Si'en Mansion does not sound as good as Si'en Prefect, the imperial court is nothing more than such a clay prefect in Si'en." The only imperial court garrison in Si'en Mansion is still far away in the southernmost part of Si'en, and there is only one martial arts to guard a thousand households, less than a thousand soldiers, what's the use, who doesn't know that Si'en Mansion is my Zhao family, Ling Zun still remembers the old land of his ancestors."

Cen Qigongzi was not angry when he heard this, and waved his hand and said, "Second Master Zhao doesn't need to provoke me, although Sien is the old land of the Cen family, it has been lost for fifty or sixty years, and it is not lost by my Sicheng, what good does my father have to remember, I am just worried that Brother Ling will follow in the footsteps of Cen Meng, and expand with all his might, attracting the imperial army." It doesn't matter if Second Master Zhao doesn't appreciate it, why are there so many doubts that my father has always been uninterested in these things, doesn't Second Master Zhao know?"

Second Master Zhao smiled and said, "Since Ling Zun is not interested, he doesn't know why you came, Seventh Prince."

The seventh prince sighed, "Naturally, I don't want to run this trip in Xia, but as long as there is something related to Toast, I can't miss the trouble of my Cen family, and I can't be lazy if I want to be lazy." ”

As soon as he said this, the faces of the other three were a little unkind, and you really sat down in the position of the Cen family is the king of Guangxi Tusi, but everything related to the toast in Guangxi is indispensable, and you Cen is indispensable

But everyone couldn't directly object, so they had to be silent, and Second Master Zhao and Grand Master Mo both looked at Miss Huang.

Miss Huang was indifferent, smiled slightly, and said, "Since this is the case, I don't know what the Cen family thinks of the belonging of the land of Bazhai."

I thought that Cen Qigongzi would say that this was the place that Cen family fancied, and he would overwhelm people with power, but who expected Cen Qigongzi to sigh "Cen has no other meaning for the belonging of Bazhai Land, as long as it is not the court officials who come, my Cen family has no objection, but I don't know who of the three is interested in this place"
