Guangzhou is the capital of Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road, which is not the road seat of Guangnan East Road and Guangdong Road.

From the founding of the Song Dynasty to the present, in more than 200 years, Guangzhou has undergone more than ten repairs and has become one of the largest cities in the entire Lingnan region.

The renovation and expansion of Guangzhou City more than ten times is not only related to the prosperity of Guangzhou Port and the prosperity of commerce, but also to deal with Vietnam in the southwest.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Empire established the Governor's Office of Annam and Hanoi, and most of the entire Indochina Peninsula was under the rule of the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the princes of the Central Plains were divided, and after more than 100 years of war, the small countries around the Tang Empire that had submitted to the Tang Dynasty became independent, and the Southern Han Dynasty was established, and Guangzhou was the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty, which was almost a copy of the Han Dynasty and the Nanyue Dynasty 800 years ago.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty pacified the Southern Han Dynasty, which had been independent for 60 years, but the Great Song Dynasty at that time did not care much about the part of the Southern Han Dynasty that penetrated into the Indochina Peninsula, that is, Vietnam.

As the well-behaved Vietnamese continued to beg for the canonization of the Heavenly Empire, the Great Song Dynasty also pushed the boat along the river, and the first Jiaozhi Kingdom was established.

From the founding of Vietnam to the Song Dynasty (976-1078), Vietnam repeatedly invaded the Quang Nam West Road and the Quang Nam East Road in the southwestern frontier of the Great Song Dynasty dozens of times.

In 1075 AD, the Vietnamese Li Dynasty sent the general Li Changjie and others to lead the sea and land armies to invade Guangdong and Guangxi in three ways, and captured Qinzhou, Hepu, Nanning and other places in Guangxi in later generations. Everywhere the Vietnamese army went, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil, and in Yongzhou (present-day Nanning) alone, nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians were killed.

It was during that Vietnamese invasion that the Vietnamese sailors landed directly at the mouth of Guangzhou and besieged Guangzhou for a month.

In the end, Song Shenzong sent Guangnan to pacify Guo Kui to recruit envoys, and occupied about Po and Zhenla to attack Vietnam, Guo Kui defeated Vietnam at the Fuliang River, which also directly led to the end of the Li Dynasty in Vietnam, and the rise of today's Chen Dynasty.

At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty, although it was said that it was not possible to fight the Khitan, nor could it be fought in the Western Xia, and even Dali was difficult to deal with, but small Vietnam could still be beaten.

The largest renovation and expansion of the city of Guangzhou was after the Vietnamese siege, and the middle city, the east city and the west city were built one after another. Zhongcheng is based on the old city of the Southern Han Dynasty; The eastern city is based on the old city of Zhao Tuocheng; Xicheng was expanded to protect the newly developed business district, and was the largest, with a circumference of more than 13 miles.

The three cities are connected, and the port of Guangzhou is in the west city, and the west city is also the most prosperous place in the whole city of Guangzhou.

As Jia Rudao saw all the way, business travel was prevalent, all kinds of shops were lined up, pedestrians were bustling, and people of all colors and faces were buying and selling with the Song people, without any sense of abruptness. Seeing the carriages and horses of Jia Yidao and his party driving by, the pedestrians on the road dodged one after another, looked at the carriages and horses, and saw the big head of the flag, and knew that it was the new Guangdong pacification.

There was a lot of discussion, but there was not much awe like the people of Lin'an City.

The pacification embassy is not in Xicheng, but in Zhongcheng, that is, the original Guangnan East Road pacification embassy, close to the palace of the Southern Han Dynasty, and it is said that it was once the residence of the prime minister of the Southern Han Dynasty.

The large courtyard with seven entrances before and after, the ink wall is scarlet tiles, the forest is verdant, the early spring and March are already full of green, and the deep seclusion is magnificent and majestic, but it is an excellent place. The five houses in front of the pacification embassy were pacified by the lobby, the yamen of the general department of the city, and the Cao Division, the Xian Division, and the Cang Division under the Supervision Department; and the commander's subordinate to the Ma Bu Shui Army in Guangzhou, as well as the offices of idle officials such as staff officers and Cao Peng officials.

The last two were the residences of the servants of the pacification envoy and his family.

Ding Daquan's Guangzhou prefect's official office is a three-entry courtyard on the right side of the pacification embassy, and it is only more than ten zhang away from the pacification embassy.

These were all introduced to Jia Nidao in a low voice by Yu Ci, who had followed Jia Nidao on the left hand side all the way, and Xu Ruoxi, Shi Zhenxiang, Huang Jiaoniang and others directly entered the last two houses through the side door to rest.

The palatial pacification of the embassy, Jia Rudao is still sitting in the first place in civilian clothes, and the plaque with four gilded characters of "Mirror Hanging" hangs on his head.

More than 30 civil and military officials on the left and right were divided into two columns and stood solemnly.

The big red man in front of the emperor, the uncle of the country, the brother of the concubine, the scholar of the Guanwen Palace, the head of the Yamen affairs of the general department of the city, and the military and political power of the two roads, before Jia Nidao came, these officials who needed to eat under Jia Nidao in the future tried their best to inquire about all the news they could hear.

Therefore, on the first day of his assumption of office, all the functions under the jurisdiction of the pacification envoy, including all the officials in Guangzhou Prefecture who are qualified to stand on the throne of the pacification envoy, are all present.

The Cao Division under the jurisdiction of the Supervision Department is also responsible for the transfer of finance and supervision, and the two transfer envoys of Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road have a total of two transfer envoys and two deputy transfer envoys, which are impressively listed; Others, such as the Constitutional Division in charge of the criminal prison, that is, the Constitutional Division, the Mention Point Criminal Prison Division, the Constitutional Division, the Changping Division, which is responsible for the warehousing of the whole road, and the Shuai Division, are all in charge of the various horses, steps, and sailors.

When Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road were merged into Guangdong Road, Zhao Yun himself did a relatively rough job, except for the two roads to pacify the envoys back to Lin'an to listen to the use, the rest of the prefects of Guangzhou Mansion and Jingjiang Mansion, the capital of the two roads, were removed from Jia Yidao's request, and the rest of the officials, the original configuration of the two roads, whether Zhao Yun or Shi Songzhi, did not move too much.

In particular, the officials under the supervision and shuai of Guangnan West Road, who originally belonged to Guangnan West Road, have been waiting for Jia Yidao for almost a month or two from Guangnan West Road to Guangzhou. Some came earlier, such as Chang Sheng, the transshipment envoy of Guangnan West Road, who was stationed in Guangzhou half a year ago, and worked tirelessly to handle official duties in Guangzhou.

There was no way for the officials of the various divisions on Quang Nam West Road not to come.

The imperial court did not make any arrangements for them, and Jia Rudao, the pacification envoy of Guangdong, was their immediate boss. Since Guangdong Road is a place along the way, it is obvious that there should only be a one-way official yamen, but who to leave and who not to stay, although it is not said that Jia Nidao is decided, but Jia Nidao's opinion accounts for at least seventy or eighty percent of the weight.

If you don't come, the excuse is directly abolished, who to cry with?

Guangdong Tiangao Emperor is far away, Jia Rudao, the new Guangdong pacification envoy, said that it is not good to listen to the soil emperor of Guangdong, wait until the news reaches Lin'an City, wait until the adults in the court come up with a solution, and then write Guangdong, I am afraid that the daylily is cold.

Therefore, there is such a situation today, all the functional yamen on Guangdong Road are two sets of teams, and the two sets of teams not only do not belong to each other, but even some officials are quite disgraceful.

For example, between Xie Changxing, the transfer envoy of Guangnan East Road, and Chang Sheng, the transfer envoy of Guangnan West Road, because of the division of salt, iron, tea, raw silk and so on in the two roads, it is incompatible with water and fire. There are also generals on the two roads who are not monolithic, for example, the son of Yao Xing, the former commander of the Ma Army on the East Guangnan Road, because he robbed the concubine of Jian Fangda, the commander of the former Guangnan West Road Infantry Army, so that the Ma Bujun of the two roads competed a few times.

All this, there are too many bloody stories about the jealousy between the various officials and yamen on Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road, and the bloody stories that you robbed my concubine and I occupied your land.

Of course, these were all collected by Qin Shou, the deacon of Jinyiwei, who arrived first, and reported to Jia Yidao.

It can be seen that Qin Shou is obviously very talented in doing fine work.

However, the most important among the various functions is obviously the transit mission in charge of financial resources and supervision.

Of course, Shuai Si is equally important, but Shuai Si's various horse and step water army commanders, in fact, most of the commanders are the local army of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the Xiang Army, in addition to eating some empty salaries and bullying the good people on weekdays, if you talk about combat effectiveness, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the five scum of the war, Jia Rudao at least does not want to interfere at the moment.

So naturally, Jia Rudao glanced at Xie Changxing and Chang Sheng twice, looked at Xie Changxing and Chang Sheng's respectful and humble appearance under his gaze, and then looked at the officials in the hall who were waiting for him to speak with bated breath, Jia Rudao had a little realization in his heart that he finally had great power.

But isn't it, when you go to the army, you only have a name, no share, and Meng Heng doesn't need to say that those generals don't have much respect for him, the ambassador of the army, to be honest; Sitting in the prefect's mansion, at the foot of the imperial city, a random brick is smashed down, it can't be said that it is the relatives and servants of the prince's heir, the prince and the prince's family, although the yamen is small and complete, and all the functions have this or that inexplicable relationship with the gods of all walks of life, not to mention the court.

Now that he has arrived in Guangzhou, the entire Guangdong Road, the land of two roads, although there will definitely be constraints, but his arms can't twist his thighs after all, and he can really be regarded as a big man.

Jia Yidao's eyes turned around and stopped at Xie Changxing and Chang Sheng again.

"How did you act in your respective functions before, it's the same, Cao Si is related to the tax to the imperial court, Lord Xie and Lord Chang still have to pay more attention."

Xie Changxing and Chang Sheng hurriedly came out of the queue and said in unison: "The lower officials obey the orders and will definitely live up to the expectations of the adults." ”

"The subordinate officials obey the order, and they will live up to the expectations of the adults."

The rest of the civil and military officials bowed and sang in unison.

Everyone responded with their mouths, but their minds were full of life.

It is said that this uncle is a person who dares to argue with the heir in the court, but now it seems to be very peaceful. But then again, how can the characters who dare to argue with a few heirs really be such a good person, I'm afraid it's because they're new to it.

Thinking of this, the hearts of all the people couldn't help but be awe-inspiring, it seems that they should still take some paths.
