In the southbound team, there is one more Xun Biao, saying that it is to play, but in fact, everyone can see that it is to fill the gap in Xinbi. Xi Zhicai is good at planning, but he is not good at government affairs, especially logistics and accounting.

In the past, Xin Bi was doing this kind of thing, but now that guy is staying in Luoyang, Xun Cai and Cai Yan will help. It's just that they are women, and they will inevitably be gossiped about, but I didn't expect the Xun family to send Xun Cai's eldest brother over to help.

This is the first time that the Xun clan has publicly supported Li Ming, not Xun Yu or Xun Yu, or even Xun Chen, but he is Xun Shuang's eldest son, just for this, no one can doubt Xun's attitude towards Li Ming.

"Brother, I'm going to be very embarrassed if you do this!" Li Ming smiled bitterly and looked at Xun Biao.

"Riyao went south to Jiangnan this time, is it really just to avoid the imperial court, or someone's calculations, or is he really planning to hunt demon beasts in Jiangnan?" Xun Biao looked at Li Ming, his eyes were full of banter.

"There are many rights and wrongs in the court, you see that there is another prince who has popped up recently, who knows if there will be another one tomorrow! Luoyang, that's a place where immortals fight, it's better not to get involved with a little person like me, so that the bones are swallowed up! Li Ming sighed, they all said that the emperor is good, one or two are rushing to the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, how many are qualified?

"Your Majesty has worked hard, but it's a pity that the Han Dynasty has been deeply addicted, and it is not suitable to use fierce medicine. After several failed attempts, His Majesty was also discouraged, and he still had a glimmer of hope when he established the PTZ three years ago.

However, after hand-picking more than 30 of them, none of the 'loyal ministers' he thought were truly loyal ministers. Especially in the recent year, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, His Majesty always received good words about the Taiping Sect from all over the country, but the Taiping Sect has become the biggest anti-thief in recent years, and His Majesty is tired......" Xun Biao said slowly.

"No matter how tired an emperor is, he is also an emperor, and if he does something, he can still make the situation not deteriorate a little and continue to do something......" Li Ming couldn't help but feel helpless, Liu Hong continued like this, and the Han was really going to fall apart.

"Riyao still said the truth in the end......" Xun Biao smiled faintly.

"Brother, did you say so much just to trick me? So, what does Xun plan to do? Li Ming looked at Xun Biao.

"Only Wen Ruo has officially joined the PTZ!" Xun Biao was silent for three seconds, and then said slowly. Xun Yu is Xun Yu, Xun is Xun, quite ruthless, but the way of survival of the family is like this.

"Little brother knows!" Li Ming smiled, Xun Biao was Xun's investment in him, at least the second investment.

Qian County naturally didn't go back, he had to take a detour to go south, Li Ming had the heart to meet this miracle doctor, but he didn't dare to take the risk! Runan County is Wang Yun's territory, he can guarantee his safety and leave, God knows what will happen!?

From Yingchuan County to Runan County, and finally into Lujiang County, the road was calm. It wasn't until they came to the edge of the Yangtze River that they took a boat and arrived on the other side of the Yangtze River one after another, and the large army finally entered the Jiangnan area.

"Jiangnan, it's just like that......" Li Ming looked at the scenery along the coast all the way, after crossing the Yangtze River, the prosperity is not there, the surroundings are so primitive, even if they arrive at the county governance Wanling City of Danyang County, compared with Yangzhai here, the scale is less than half, and the degree of prosperity is not comparable.

"That's good! A few years ago, it was more depressed than here, it seems that the Yellow Turban thieves are not without good deeds, forcing a large number of people from the Central Plains to move south, into the land of Jiangnan, this year the chaos is even worse, another group of people go south, you look at the group over there, the clothes are still a little ragged, I can hear their Jizhou accent! Xun Biao said with a smile.

Li Ming suddenly knew why the Xun family would call Xun Biao over, but he was afraid that among the Xun family, only he was the most familiar with the situation in Jiangnan. Let him help him, at least not because of the strangeness.

"See the guy outside the gates? Dressed in animal skins! It's not that they're not hot, it's that they don't have any other clothes to wear! They are Yue people, or Shanyue, they no longer have a household registration in the imperial court, so they are not allowed to enter the city, they are not allowed to buy salt and grain, and they are not allowed to buy cloth! They could only sell at a low price outside the city gates, but they were also pushed very low by the merchants who came to buy them! Xun Biao pointed behind him, when they had just entered the city, they did see seven or eight men in animal skins in front of the door.

"Since you can't enter the city and buy things, why are you selling these mountain goods?" Xun Cai couldn't figure it out.

"There are always people willing to sell, but the price you can never imagine...... There is no shortage of meat, no shortage of fruits and vegetables, no lack of salt, no lack of cloth, and nothing but food! Xun Biao shook his head helplessly.

"Shanyue escaped into the mountains and forests, did not produce, did not obey the king, did not accept servitude, and the imperial court's move is understandable!" Xiao Yao said disdainfully, in his impression, Shanyue was a group of barbarians who didn't know how to lift.

As for Zhang Mo and the others, they didn't know much in the end, so they just listened and didn't say anything.

"The Yue people lived here very early, the first Qin occupied here, and it was not until the Han Dynasty that the state and county were established here, and it was announced that the three generations of Yue people who accepted the sinicization were Han people and could enjoy the treatment of Han people.

Actually? Rao is a Yue person after Sinicization, and he still has to pay more taxes and serve more conscription than Han people, and his status is lower than that of ordinary Han people.

In the period of Emperor Guangwu, the wealthy families began to come to Jiangnan one after another, and they continued to encroach on the land of the Yue people, turning them into tenants, to put it bluntly, it is better to say that they are livestock for cultivating land.

As a result, more and more Yue people gave up the place where their ancestors lived, fled to the mountains, and settled in the mountains in the danger of encountering monsters. A handful of careerists tried to regain their original power from the Han Chinese, thus further increasing the contradictions between the Yue and Han Chinese!

And those family lords who have settled here for more than a hundred years have also begun to intertwine and marry each other to consolidate their control over Jiangnan, and their words here are sometimes more useful than holy decrees!

That's all you're about to face, Sunshine! Are you ready? Xun Biao looked at Li Ming with a serious expression.

"........................" Li Ming was just silent, he didn't expect the situation in Jiangnan to be so bad. originally thought that since Sun Ce and Sun Quan could divide here, then he could also divide here. There is no such thing as a climate force in Jiangnan, and he is completely able to develop it with this, and then gradually counterattack Jiangbei.

It's just that now it seems that this land south of the Yangtze River is even more complicated than the situation in Luoyang. Wooing the Yue people, who occupy the vast majority of the population, will inevitably offend the family gatekeeper; Win over the family door valve, then you will inevitably face the continuous counterattack of the Yue people!

The key is that the family will not allow him to have too much power, and it is obviously the most ideal result to be a living bodhisattva and hand over all government affairs to them.

"It's a pity that you have no way back! So, here I am! Xun Biao said slowly, "This is a battle that is more difficult than going into battle to kill the enemy and rolling in the pile of dead, Riyao, are you ready?" ”
