The place where the two desecrations of the water are separated, that is, the northwest end of Shouchun City, once built an independent outer city, called the Golden City. This city is built by the great general of the Southern Qi Dynasty, the wall was between the golden city and the city of Shouchun, the left of the water flows through the place, build a small history weir, the Northern Wei Dynasty came to attack Shouchun, the army gathered in the south of the city, the wall Chongzu decided the small history weir, the soldiers and horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty were drowned countless.

However, after that, the left side of the river was diverted, and now it flows from the north of Jincheng.

In the center of Shouchun City, there is also a seat city, it was originally the palace city of the Yingdu of Chu State, the main gate of the palace city faces south, and the thorn guard is set up in front of the door, so it is also called "Thorn Gate", when Chu Guochun Shenjun was from the southwest of his own "Chunshen Town", went to the palace city and was killed, and the head was thrown out of this thorn gate. Later, before Liu Yu usurped the Jin, he had rebuilt the old palace city, and then it was called "Xiangguo City" (Liu Yu had been subject to Jiuxi at that time), and now Xiangguo City is the location of the Junzhou Administration, and the Hancheng status of Yangzhou City is the same.

Now Gao Yue, the country of truth, has also come to Xiangguo City, which can be described as worthy of the name, adding a lot of glory to Shouchunping. And the soldiers of the Ya Army who gathered in Shouchun in batches also started the cantonment affairs in an orderly manner:

The Dingwu army is stationed at Dongtai Lake;

The Yining army was stationed at Yangma Creek in the west of the city;

Bao Dajun is stationed in the old Xuankang City of Bagong Mountain on the north bank of the river;

There are also the infantry of the two generals of the Fengyi Army led by Zhang Fen, which are stationed in Jincheng.

Of course, the entire government office of Shouzhou was also greeted at Shaobei Gate, and there were not only Xu Ziyu, the assassin of Shouzhou, but also Meng Zhongyang, the prefect of the Shoulu Patrol Hospital.

Meng Zhongyang's patrol yard was on the shore of Chuanguan Lake, because there was a huge shipyard here, and the ships could only be built along the river and into the Huaishui and other river systems.

As for Xu Ziyu, eighty houses had been set aside in Xiangguo Castle in advance, and they were used as the government offices of the Gaoyue shogunate alone.

But who expected, as soon as he arrived at the government office, Gao Yue lost his temper.

This temper is sent to Xu Ziyu, the history of Shouzhou Thorn, "This road is in Yangzhou City, I have consulted the examination courses of the previous two years, Xu Zhijun thorns Shouzhou, which has fertile fields and rich tea mulberry, why is the examination class continuously behind?" This time this time I have brought 10,000 thousands of athletes here, and the people and horses also need to be supplied. ”

Xu Ziyu had a bitter face for Gao Yue's blame, but he could only give it up, not daring to say more.

Looking at Xu's face, Gao Yue knew that there was something else hidden, and then deliberately asked: "This Shouzhou, just Anfeng Shaobei, how much grain can be produced every year, why can't even the tax amount of Hudou rice be satisfied?" ”

Meng Zhongyang suddenly stepped forward and whispered to himself, please Ji Gongping retreat from the miscellaneous people, if you have something to tell.

Gao Yue waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers withdrew from the hall.

"Ji Gong, if it is not for other reasons, Huainan has been harmed by the Duzhi Division in the past few years." At this time, Meng Zhongyang spoke boldly, and then he added, "Not only the camp, but also the salt administration and money." According to the humble opinion, if these three major evils cannot be solved well, the burden on the people in the southeast of Jianghuai will only become heavier, and even if Huaixi is peaceful, the lowly people are afraid that the southeast will continue to plot chaos and never end up. ”

"In the past, this road has always been in the northwest, Xingyuan camp, the results are remarkable, enough food and soldiers, why this Huainan camp has become a harm?"

At this time, Gu Xiu, the only one who remained in the inner hall, unhurriedly elaborated on Meng Zhongyang's statement: "Shouzhou don't talk about it, let's talk about Chuzhou - when the dynasty was in the dynasty, due to the difficulty of the national economy, the Du branch division not only camped in the border land, but also settled the camp in the inland states and counties, and Chuzhou had it, but the field was not completed, and the thorn Shi and the town general began to put their cronies in it as 'camp field officials', two or three hundred hectares of land, there were actually hundreds of field officials, this group of people not only ate the official mansion, but also promoted quickly, and the thorn history and the town general immediately set the three thousand households in Chuzhou as ' Other households', called Yingtian, in fact, the three thousand households of the tax are all occupied, in addition to other households should also be poor, it is equivalent to becoming a private slave household of the history of the assassin and the town general, resulting in the camp can not make ends meet at all, not only can not serve the needs of the imperial court, but also eat a large part of the state of Chuzhou every year to pay money, and finally the court judgment branch can only abolish the Chuzhou camp, but the Tang Mu is there, the assassin Shi and the town will be Yang Fengyin violation, known as this camp field as the 'prime minister Yao Ling', continue to occupy the field officials, other households and the field do not let go. ”

"Ben Dao is the prime minister, why don't you know that you still have the fields of Chuzhou?" Gao Yue was very angry.

Gu Xiu smiled, "But the name of the camp in Chuzhou is indeed the name of Ji Gong's 'remote collar'." ”

These words, and this smile, couldn't help but make Gao Yue's cold sweat soak out.

It's not that he, the Chinese scholar, is a big man, it's that he sighs, the southeast boundary of Jianghuai is really different from the Xingyuan in the past, although it is rich, but the disadvantages are too deep.

At this time, Gao Yue turned to Xu Ziyu and Meng Zhongyang, "Is this Shouzhou the same?" ”

Xu Ziyu finally dared to speak: "I also have a camp in Shouzhou...... When Li Xilie rebelled, Shouzhou, Luzhou, and Sizhou were once separated from Huainan Town, and the Shoulu Si Observation Envoy was established to Zhang Jianfeng. Zhang Jianfeng at that time let his army general Yin Yingtian, the original intention was to prevent Huaixi invasion, and later the observation made the removal, Zhang Jianfeng moved to Xuzhou, but Yin left behind, still occupy the camp field, now I Shouzhou garrison has nearly 10,000 united soldiers, hundreds of horses, almost one-third are Yin Di's 'Tianshi', they first found some barren and remote places, with the state to pay for pickles to hire people to perfunctory farming, and then used these fields to force the people of Shaobi to exchange their own good land, a few years later, the people were displaced, resentful, The state's finances have been squandered. This is the reason why I have been the queen of the Shouzhou exam every year. ”

"As for the salt administration and the ...... of paying money," then Meng Zhongyang still had to supplement the remaining two evils, but was stopped by Gao Yue.

Gao Yue said to him coldly: "According to the opinion of this Dao, there is a fourth evil in Huainan. ”

Meng Zhongyang's face was full of doubts.

Gao Yue said: "The fourth evil is tea!" ”

These words shocked Meng Zhongyang's footsteps and went backwards.

After all, the main responsibility of the Shoulu Patrol is to serve salt and iron tea within several states.

Gao Yue's words were aimed at him.

"Originally, Huainan and Xuanrun were tax tea. The government set up a field on the main road in and out of the tea mountain, assessed the price of the tea shipped out, and then took a tenth of the tax money. When Han Jin Gong was the envoy of the Xuanrun Festival, he changed the tax tea to the tea, which was not good governance, but since you Yantiesi mastered the benefits of Jianghuai tea, it has intensified, is it in the name of officialdom to occupy the tea plantation? Is it to force tea farmers to transplant tea trees in the officialdom, or is it to force the price to tea farmers, and then raise the selling price to tea merchants? The Salt and Iron Division gets nearly 200,000 yuan of tea in Huainan every year, which is a big benefit. ”

"The main thing is to enter the imperial court and the holy lord to support the country and the military......" Meng Zhongyang's face was as earthy as the color, and his teeth were fighting.

"A good one who uses the country for military purposes, only cares about official property and official sales, forces tea farmers into mountain sheds, and forces tea merchants into tea lords, every year Wu Shaocheng comes to the border of Shouzhou and Luzhou to plunder tea plantations, kill people, and invade prefectures and counties, isn't it this gang of 'bandits' forced out by you to lead the way?" Gao Yue was furious.

"Ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths." Meng Zhongyang was left with only begging for mercy.
