After coming out of the Chu Ning Mausoleum, he set off again to the east. The Changning Mausoleum is not too far from the Chu Ning Mausoleum, and according to the Southern Dynasty Ancestral Hall, it is only four or five miles away. It's just that there are more people and cars on the official road now, and the speed is not as fast as at dawn.

Tuoba Shen withdrew his sacrificial garment, wearing only a single shirt. Drink some water pressure to heat up, and let Lu Guang put down the reed mat used for shading the right side of the car. Fortunately, when the four cars are ventilated on all sides, and when it is time to walk, the wind is finally not so uncomfortable.

Led by two ancestral halls, Tuoba Shen and the others walked through the official road for nearly two moments, turning left at an intersection and entering a dense forest, which seemed to be a path that was not usually walked by too many people.

After entering the forest area, the speed of the car is also a little faster, and the temperature feels like it has dropped a lot. It is full of towering trees, and its height makes it necessary to hold your head high to see the sky, and thanks to this, it is also cooler than the outside.

Half an hour later, the convoy walked out of the path between the dense forests and turned left again, Tuoba Shen looked at the limestone laid on the ground, from north to south, the avenue is more than ten zhang wide, which is very similar to Liu Yu's Chu Ning Ling Shinto. I knew that this was a detour just now, but now I went directly to the Shinto.

gave Yu Zhong a look, and after Yu Zhong understood, he slapped the horse bought from the city with a horsewhip, walked to the side of Jiang Song's car and asked, "Dare to ask Jiang Langguan, but you have already arrived in the Changning Mausoleum?" ”

"Exactly, as you can see, this is the Shinto of the Changning Mausoleum. The trail that Fang Cai passed through was cut by His Royal Highness King Sima Yuzhang of this dynasty, and it saved a lot of roads by taking this road. If you are on the right path, you have to go up two or three miles. Jiang Song explained.

King Yuzhang! Xiao Wei?

This King Yuzhang is famous, and in the thin "Book of Nanqi", he is a "big bull" with a single biography and tens of thousands of words. It is also the half-brother of the current emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Xiao Chen, and the two are said to have a very good relationship, and Xiao Zhen will go to Xiao Wei's house several times a year for banquets and gatherings.

This Shinto Road looks longer than Liu Yu's Shinto, maybe five or six miles away! And compared with Liu Yu's Shinto, although this Shinto is also overgrown with weeds, the traces of trampling by people and chariots and horses are very obvious, and the trees planted on the roadside are not only common trees, but also many fruit trees such as jujube trees and orange trees. Compared to the desolation of Liu Yu's Shinto, it is simply a world of difference.

After asking Jiang Song, I found out that it was because the Changning Mausoleum and its Shinto vicinity were all places where good fields and beautiful houses were concentrated, and there were more than a dozen villas in the vicinity that Jiankang was powerful and wanted to operate. These villa areas are small in a radius of more than ten miles, and the large ones are thirty or fifty miles, and there are mountains and rivers in the villa areas, which can not only grow fruit trees, rice and mulberry hemp, but also breed livestock and aquariums, and even cut down garden trees and sell them to make money. It is sufficient to be self-sufficient in daily supply. Therefore, on this Shinto road, there are often chariots and horses of these wealthy families and some small clans and small people with nearby fields.

Tuoba Shen knew that this kind of self-sufficient closed economic circle has a term in historical research, called manor economy, and the monastic economy of the Northern and Southern Dynasties is very characteristic of the times. In this troubled era that has been plagued by war and economic decline for many years, these two economic forms can be regarded as a supplement to the mainstream economy, and they have their advantages for economic development.

However, another problem that arises from this is that in order to expand economic interests and satisfy their greed, more families are closing mountains and seizing waters, and encroaching on the natural benefits of mountains and rivers and fish are more rampant and undisguised. It is a common thing to annex the land of small people and not allow civilians to fish, fish and hunt.

Tuoba let out a sigh of relief.

This kind of thing is not only common in the Southern Dynasties, but also quite serious in this Dynasty. These landlord classes are self-taught in the annexation of land, as if they were given by God. As for stopping them. Don't think about it at all, don't talk about the Southern Dynasty under the prevalence of the gate valve system, even this dynasty can't help it.

After walking for about two miles, the group found a large open space on the left side of the road with a depth of ten zhang, and they didn't find it just too far. In the open space against the side of the road was a beautifully carved high-wheeled vehicle with pale yellow curtains and two horses. There were also more than a dozen guards with swords and single clothes standing next to the car.

Behind these guards there is also a simple pavilion about two feet high, which also looks like it is some years old. There is a middle-aged and elderly man sitting in the pavilion with a chess piece in his right hand and a long beard in his left hand. On the side of the handsome old man, there were two young people who looked like they had some status sitting on the edge of the chessboard, looking like chess friends.

Because they didn't know each other, Tuoba Shen only glanced at each other a few times before retracting his gaze, and when he was about to open his mouth to urge him to hurry up, he saw Jiang Song and the others stop the coachman (hired car), and after tidying up their clothes and tiara a little, they both got out of the ox cart and walked towards the pavilion quickly.

Tuoba saw it cautiously and also beckoned Zheng Daozhao and Liu Wenyuan to get out of the car. Looking at the busy appearance of Jiang Song and the others, this handsome old guy must be a big man in the Southern Dynasty. Since he is a big man, he can't just walk away so rudely.

Jiang Song and the others walked to the side of the car and were about to go straight in, but they were unexpectedly stopped by several guards, and when they were about to open their mouths to report their identities, they saw the handsome old man in the pavilion looking up.

Jiang Song and the others no longer paid attention to a few guards, bowed their hands, and said in a loud voice: "Jiang Song (He Jian) of the Xiaguan Ancestral Hall has seen His Royal Highness King Yuzhang!" ”

The old handsome guy is Xiao Wei, Xiao Chen's half-brother. Xiao Yi was just pondering the chess path, heard the noise, looked up, put the chess pieces into the chess box, got up and walked out of the pavilion and said with a smile: "It turns out that Jiang Langjun and He Langjun are here." In the lonely and sick house, there will be no group of sages for a long time! Why did the two virtuous gentlemen come here? But His Majesty has called it? ”

Xiao Wei asked, of course, he didn't really think that Xiao Zhen wanted to see him, every time Xiao Zhen announced that he saw him, he would send his close ministers or famous ministers around him, not two Lang officials to come over. When he said this, he just wanted to raise Jiang Song and He Jian to show his optimism about them.

Jiang Song was flattered by Xiao Wei's action of getting up and leaving the pavilion, and hurriedly replied: "No, so that His Royal Highness knows that the lower officials and others have been ordered by the ministry today to accompany the deputy northern envoy to the Changning Mausoleum." ”

Although Xiao Wei has been living in a private house on the outskirts of the city, he still knows about Tuoba Shen's invitation to worship Emperor Wu of Song and Emperor Wen of Song for Liu Wenyuan, but he didn't expect that he would meet him by chance today because he was in a lot better health, and he had the kung fu to go out and walk around in his spare time.

"I see!" Xiao Wei nodded, stepped forward and walked towards Tuoba Shen, and arched his hand: "Dare to ask, but the northern envoy is in person?" Nanshi Xiao Wei has seen His Royal Highness the Northern Envoy Qinghe. ”

I heard Li Biao say that this Xiao Wei is the most kind and generous, and he is very admired by Jiankang Shishu.

Now I see that it is true. This gesture is too polite, even he, a northerner, is so polite. Tuoba Shen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "It's my person, Tuoba Shen has seen His Royal Highness King Yuzhang." ”
