Although the Xuanwei envoy is an official position of the imperial court, and the ground is usually twice that of the local officials, it is only a local official with great power in the final analysis. According to common sense, the propaganda envoys of each propaganda department will be arranged to work in the provincial office, called stationing, but in fact surveillance. The Xuanwei Division here in Guizhou also has such a delicate relationship with the Guiyang Mansion, but the Shuixi clan has been trying to circumvent the control of the imperial court, and this kind of rise and fall has never stopped since the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.

During the Tianshun period, Guizhou Xuanwei envoy An Guirong was warned by the imperial court because he was not in the Xuanwei Division for a long time to live in Shuixi, don't look at this An Xuanwei is also a courteous corporal on weekdays, and even invited Wang Yangming to give lectures in the Tusi school palaces in various places in Shuixi, but this is no worse than any Tusi head.

In order to be able to leave Guiyang Mansion legally, An Guirong also took advantage of the time to suppress the Lion Kong Rebellion and make meritorious contributions, openly bribed and asked the chief military officer Wu Jing to say something, and secretly instructed his subordinate Zongmu A Zejian to ask him to return to Shuixi to urge the tribute, and the two-pronged approach finally made the court make concessions. ’

The Song family of Shuidong is the hereditary deputy envoy of Guizhou Xuanwei, which means that since then, the Xuanwei envoy An can return to Shuixi to live and work for reasonable reasons, especially during the period of the annual autumn harvest to raise tribute to the imperial court - although the 80,000 stone grain endowment of the Guizhou Xuanwei Division has never been completed since the beginning of the country, it does not prevent the An family from hiding in the generous Tusi City by this reason. But as long as An's is not in the provincial capital, the seal and crown belt of the Xuanwei envoy will be handed over to the deputy envoy Song to take care of, which is the expediency of the imperial court in order to contain the local officials, and the chief and deputy Xuanwei envoys guarantee and guardianship each other, but because of the acting official seal, it naturally caused a turmoil within the Shuixian clan a few years ago, and later An's civil war even implicated in Sichuan.

But today's matter is not trivial, in the north of Guiyang City, Guizhou's first good place out of Da'an, who killed people and set fires, the case has also been investigated, the leader is Shui Xiyu's family's scolding Chu Asha, even if it is just to give an explanation to the government, he has to return to the official office in Guiyang City to look at things.

Of course, the current ambassador is still young, and it is still his uncle who has come back to preside over this time.

The Xuanwei Department is also in Guiyang City, Guiyang City is a small place, although this official office is also built according to the shape of the government, but compared with the Xuanwei Department of the far away in the west of the water is much shabby, but although it is not open, look at this building regulation is also a dignified Han style.

Today, Wang Xingping came to this propaganda department to be entrusted by Zhang Heming, but the reverse is the same, Zhang Heming actually agreed with Wang Xingping's plan.

'A soldier who surrenders without a fight. 'He's really talkative.

Entered the back hall of the department, which is where the Xuanfu envoy usually works in Guiyang City to meet guests, and of course, there are many other local officials' public offices. Many of the people who served in the main hall were still brought from Shuixi by the master here, Wang Xingping took a cursory look, and Sun Chongxian's guests were mentioned later, and the sects of Yu and Liumu were all here. Wang Xingping naturally knew that although these two families were in the east of Yachi Shuidong, they were one of the twelve clansmen of Shuixi, Sun Chongxian's guest Cheng Yan Xia Ben was also a native of Guiyang, and he recognized the identities of the two people sitting in the hall at once, as for the one who was surrounded by these two clans and sat on the chair, with a leopard head and eyes, a face like bronze, and a flying fish suit that was extremely incommensurate with his appearance, the name Wang Xingping had already known it, and at this time he grabbed two steps forward to salute, "Xingping has seen the envoy." ”

An Bangyan saw the appearance of a scholar who came, and naturally got up to greet him, although he was a local official, but An's so many generations of consolation made the present, in fact, the living habits have long been sinicized, only because of the identity of the self-holding young people will seem so special in this southwest land, but at least this bit of etiquette in the Ming Dynasty will not be slack.

Today was Zhang Heming's instigation, and Wang Xingping came forward to discuss the aftermath of the Beiyuli incident with the two departments in Shuixi. Originally, Zhang Heming planned to take the opportunity to target the household soldiers, after all, Asha's identity had been verified, but he was persuaded by Wang Xingping. Wang Xingping came up with a better solution, but the government did not come forward too much to make any statement, after all, the case in Beiyuli was a big case that must be reported to the palace, which alarmed the imperial court, and even Zhang Heming could not be self-focused on how to deal with it, unless Guiyang Mansion had a better solution before that, and this matter happened to fall on Wang Xingping, for Wang Xingping, such an identity could not be better, but he won it himself.

Wang Xingping has full confidence that his proposal can be approved by both parties, but in fact, it is only one side now, because Zhang Heming has already passed it. Although it is only a verbal promise, the government may not necessarily look back on Wang Xingping's face, but weighing the pros and cons Wang Xingping feels that such a possibility is really not big, this is a win-win deal. In fact, if you add what he can get in it, it can be said to be a win-win, and it is estimated that the only unhappy person will only be the military men below, but that is just for a while.

"Credit?" An Bangyan laughed, he didn't think it was funny, but he first had to suppress the opponent from the momentum, "I don't know what my Shuixi is guilty of this time?" A few bold thieves can implicate Yu's ministry and tens of thousands of subordinates? ”

Although this negotiation is said to be aimed at Yu's family, who doesn't know that behind Yu's family is the Xuanwei Division, and it is his Shuixian clan, at this time, just looking at An Bangyan's words, the sect of Yu's family can understand without even saying a word. Although it is true that Yu's family did something wrong, even if the local soldiers killed people and even wanted to set fires, but such things were not unheard of in the past, and the imperial court treated this kind of thing in addition to killing a few evildoers, and it was still mainly to appease the Tu people with deep roots behind them. This kind of thing is also like doing business in An Bangyan's eyes, thinking that you are strong, so he appeases you and is gentle, and feels that you are lonely, so he will change the land and return to the stream.

But his Shuixi family has a big business, and after being incorporated into Yang Yinglong's forces, it is even more extravagant, and he can walk sideways when he leaves Guiyang City, so to speak, as long as he does not openly raise the flag to rebel, the government will not dare to make any big moves against the An family. In the past six months or so, there have been great victories in the twelve horseheads of Hongbian, great victories in Zhenyuanfu, and even news of the capture of officials and troops on the side of An Xiaoliang in Wusa, but no one dares to make a mistake on the territory of his twelve clansmen in Shuixi.

And Yu's home is the largest barrier of the Shuixian clan in the east of Yachi Shuidong, An Bangyan can imagine the result of this matter, so 'turning the merit into a crime' is just a word of Wang Xingping, he has never expressed his heart directly, he prefers to listen to the opponent's reaction before making countermeasures, and An Bangyan has also clearly stated his attitude, not to mention that there is no fundamental conflict with his interests in the end, he is just a character who speaks with the conditions of the winner.

"That's not it, in fact, Xingping has experienced some interesting things these days, let's just say that when he was in Banzhou before, there was a team of people who tried to rob and kill the Wusizang tribute envoy in Shangjing, and the one who took the lead seemed to be surnamed Lu, but in the end, this matter will not involve the people of Yongning Division, and what the envoy said is indeed this truth." Wang Xingping looked at the other party's expression while following An Bangyan's words, ostensibly agreeing, but on purpose.

An Bangyan didn't expect Wang Xingping to suddenly mention this matter, and his expression was slightly embarrassed, "Sichuan's toast has always been bold. ”

Now the mother of the Zhengpai Xuanfu An, Hao Duhui, is the sister of Yongning Xuanfu Yu Chongming, and the aunt of Hao Yin, Yongning and Shuixi are actually generations of in-laws, not to mention that it only started from this generation, Wang Xingping mentioned this matter It seems that he is echoing An Bangyan's exculpation, but in fact it is more like a beating.

Wang Xingping saw that An Bangyan's expression was different, and he no longer continued the topic, but said: "The Xuan Envoy doesn't need to think about it, Xingping didn't want to climb, but thought of another section in this matter. ”

"Another section? What is it? An Bangyan asked, and when he saw that the other party took the initiative to explain, he was also relieved and hurriedly changed the topic.

"Tribute."

Wang Xingping's answer was resounding, "Shuixi hasn't sent a tribute envoy to Beijing for almost eight years." ”

The imperial court allowed the Tusi to bind the locality, and the Tuguan had great power in the territory under his jurisdiction, and even the right to kill the local people. But there will be the right to have obligations, tribute is one of the obligations of the imperial court to the Tusi, in addition to the annual tribute of 80,000 stones, the horses and things in Shuixi are the tribute designated by the imperial court, although the number of tributes is never much, although the reward of the imperial court is more generous, but the purpose of the tribute is more than that.

Tribute is actually an expression of attitude, before Longqing, the Tusi tribute has always been very strict in dealing with various problems, the quality and quantity of tribute is insufficient, and even the failure to deliver to the Beijing division on time can become a reason for the imperial court to be angry. However, in recent years, such strict control has been much weaker, and what Wang Xingping said earlier is that since the 38th year of Wanli, Shuixi has not arranged tribute envoys to Beijing for nearly eight years.

Of course, there are various reasons for not arranging tribute envoys to go to Beijing, the Xuan Comfort Envoy is young, and the various departments in Shuixi attack each other year after year, these are all reasons, and the local government is indeed so prevaricating, but on the surface it is indeed untenable.

There would be no problem with this matter being perfunctory all the time, and the toast in the southwest is not doing it now. But Zhang Heming is a person who has a heart to do things, and he caught up with Yu's family and said that such a thing happened, and Wang Xingping is now actually taking out the matter of paying tribute.

An Bangyan is such a powerful character, he immediately understood the meaning of Wang Xingping's words, and quickly sorted out his thoughts after the servant brought the tea, and then said: "The proprietor must have already planned it?" ”

This is what An Bangyan has thought of a long time ago, but Wang Xingping's words made him dispel the idea of continuing to try, if it weren't for Zhang Heming's success, how could he let a businessman talk about it, otherwise he wouldn't have come forward. Especially now that we have talked about the topic of tribute, which is half economic and half political, such a position does not seem to use troops, but rather to ...... Trade.

Trade?

An Bangyan's thought was like a reminder, and his mind seemed to be a little enlightened.

Although this Wang Xingping is a scholar, I heard that he is still studying in Fuxue and Yangming Academy, but he is still a businessman after all.

Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost over, Wang Xingping stopped talking nonsense, "Actually, have you ever thought that Xuanwei and your sects have thought that there is actually a way to solve the best of both worlds in this matter......

'Build a city? ’

This is the plan given by Wang Xingping, Guiyang City has been criticized for being too small since the day it was built, whether it is the official office in the city or the private residential merchants, it is always stingy compared with other provinces in the southwest. The construction of additional city walls is indeed something that the officials and people in Guiyang City have thought about many times over the years, and An Bangyan naturally knows it.

It's just that the construction of the city wall has always been inseparable from the change of land and return to the stream, and the last time the city wall of Guiyang was added was completed on the basis of the Shunyuan city in the Yuan Dynasty during the Yongle period, and it has been two hundred years now. In the past two hundred years, the number of Han people in Guiyang City and the surrounding areas has increased much, but the city wall of Guiyang is still so large.

Over the years, the official army and the Tusi barbarians in Guizhou have fought many battles, but Wang Xingping's suggestion reminded Zhang Heming that instead of spending food and salary on the battle against the Yiren, it is better to build more walls once and for all. After all, the significance of building a city is much more important than the use of soldiers, and only by establishing a solid foundation can we talk about development, and this stone wall is like a watershed that separates the Han Yi, and the so-called step by step is this truth. Wang Xingping's words made Zhang Heming have a sense of enlightenment, these days he has been like a fan of the authorities, only thinking about using soldiers, but the big victory comes and goes, but the situation is still like this, but if it can really build a new city, so that the results that can be seen and touched are not much better than many great victories, with such a good policy, Zhang Xianggong is naturally good, and Wang Xingping, who initiated this proposal, was naturally entrusted with the task of negotiating, and the benefits that can be obtained behind this obligation are naturally acquiesced to the Wang family by the governor Yamen, This is the background of today's meeting.

Guiyang City is in the north and south, and there is the Nanming River in the south, so this time Wang Xingping's plan landed in the north of the city.

"The proprietor Wang has done a good business, but your family's property is all enclosed within the wall."

Listening to Wang Xingping's plan to build a city, An Bangyan laughed, to say that there is no selfishness is definitely nonsense, Wang Xingping's plan to build a new section of stone city outside the north city to connect with the original city wall is indeed to surround several properties of the Wang family in the north corner, but he believes that other businessmen who are also surrounded by it will not object, there is a fire in the night before, at least in the topic of the previous year, safety should be much higher than convenience, and now the question is how to make An Bangyan believe that this will also have many benefits for Shuixi.
