Chapter 390: Noble Interests
Ye Nian time, the Hanjing of the An family became the Hanjing of the Cheng family. ”
Walking on the two largest roads within the city wall, you can see shops with signboards with the word "Cheng" everywhere, some of which belong to the Cheng family, and some belong to the Cheng family's private family. Even many of them were simply opened in the name of Cheng's family.
Now any person in the ancestral home of the Cheng family, as long as he takes out his identity card, he can immediately borrow a large amount of silver. If you are not in a hurry to use the money, it is very comfortable to eat dry stocks every month. In this regard, the military judges in the southwest, who should have been in charge of this matter, knew about it, the provisional government of Hanjing knew about it, and the nobles of the Zongwu Mansion stationed by the imperial family also knew about it, but no one cared about it.
Not only does no one care. And it's a door to convenience. As the officials of the occupation army, they didn't bother to pay attention to the real Cheng family opening the store, or opening the store in the name of the Cheng family, anyway, if you take out the identity card of the Cheng family, I will approve it.
No one wanted to accidentally offend Cheng Jinshi's colonial bureaucrats in such a place, and they did the same.
In addition to the Cheng family, those big surnames in the southwest, such as the Li family, the Wang family, and even the Shen family in the capital, can come to the Northern Han Dynasty to get a piece of the pie.
Shen Cong was busy with next year's imperial examination and couldn't come, so he also sent people to the Northern Han Dynasty, and called it "support Brother Cheng" To be honest, Cheng Jinzhou really had to thank him.
Anyone who hangs the banner of the Southwest Clan, especially the word "Cheng", is equivalent to asking for a duty-free gold medal, and will not be harassed and disturbed in any way. So the few surviving century-old shops in Hanjing are also on their chess pieces, and then hang a red flag with the word "Cheng", which looks nondescript, but the shopkeepers are safe. Of course, this also has to be paid.
The rise of the Cheng family is still somewhat subtle in the intricate society of Great Xia, and when it comes to the overturned Northern Han world, its common interests exploded almost instantly.
"Come to the Northern Han Dynasty, worth more than a thousand taels" This is the recent propaganda slogan of the southwestern aristocracy.
There are nearly 10,000 clansmen in the big family casually, many of whom are either honest yeoman farmers or small landlords with a little land, these people will not all come to Hanjing to grab money, but they are carried by the trend, and it is inevitable that there will be eldest sons, third cousins and the like to come and see. Anyway, for them, the post station along the way is also unblocked.
And the various families. These children are also needed to seize the benefits of this newly acquired fertile land.
Cheng Jinzhou entered the city. What I saw was such a prosperous scene, and I saw the word Cheng hanging in front of the "True Taste Zhai". The word "Li" floated in front of the pawn shop, and I couldn't help but think of the Chinese ferries with British flags on the Yangtze River.
However, how the nobles allocated special funds in the land of the Northern Han Dynasty was not a matter of concern to him, and it was the real troublesome thing for Xia Jing to correct the name of the Northern Han Dynasty and retain the original government structure.
This is a real and genuine political struggle, and it is the worst kind of preservation of the original government of the Northern Han Dynasty, which is not good for Bactria and Cheng Jinzhou, but even worse for the latter. And the imperial court would rather hurt itself by 800 than by 1,000, this kind of spirit is really too class-sensitive, and it is extremely uncomfortable.
Is the "Holy Decree" a complete set of three seals? On the way to the palace, Cheng Jinzhou specially asked about his grandfather.
Cheng Wenzheng nodded solemnly. If it weren't for the complete three seals, with his current status, he would dare to dismiss it.
The government hall and the province of Menxia. All belong to the sphere of influence of the central aristocracy, more precisely. It is the territory of the civil and official groups, and the Cheng family has no influence on it. Even in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, those small principalities dared to roar at the overlord, which shows that pure military support cannot guarantee that they are as docile as a kitten.
Cheng Jinzhou said helplessly: "What about the rewards of the soldiers?" ”
Han Wei, who was entourage, smiled bitterly and sighed: "The reward has come down a long time ago, and there is no stinginess in various public offices, but there is no news about the title so far." ”
In foreign wars, there is such a big difference between those who have the support of the court and those who do not.
For the soldiers. It's just a reward and so on, for the officers, the title is what they care about the most. But the court dragged on, and they didn't have a good way.
Honor is sometimes detached, especially when the value of money is inhibited.
For an earl with status, no worries about food and clothing, and no desire to rebel, the title of marquis must be more attractive than his entire family property, which is not to say that he does not want to double his family property, but when he chooses one of the two, he values the latter more.
If the Southwest Army is unable to get the desperate officers to get knighthoods, then for the officers above the middle level, its value will be greatly reduced.
This is bridged with money.
Cheng Jinzhou shook his head. changed the topic and said: "The imperial court actually let the little emperor stay in Hanjing, they don't want Hanjing anymore?" ”
"They feel that Hankyung has not fallen into their own hands." Cheng Wenzheng looked at Cheng Jinzhou's shoulder as he spoke, and he didn't know what it was like.
The grandson can have a great future, which has always been what grandfathers want to see the most. But the future of his grandson seems to be too ambitious, so that he
As an old man, Cheng Wenzheng felt that his status as the envoy of Zhennan was high enough. He hopes that the children in his family can devote themselves to learning and working hard, but he doesn't want them to fall into the abyss of power and ** and be unable to extricate themselves.
However, he was on the border for many years. Not very close to the children and nephews in the family, the so-called education. It doesn't seem to be possible to talk about it.
Cheng Jinzhou walked briskly into the Longhui Pavilion outside the palace, which was originally the meeting room of the Hanjing cabinet ministers, but now it has become a meeting room for the occupation army. The imperial palace is not easy to occupy directly, and it is easy to cause a backlash from the imperial court.
The generals of Wenchen stood up in unison, and there was a posture to greet the leader.
Although the highest rank among the generals is only the second rank, and the highest title is no more than the earl, but the momentum is huge, not inferior to the imperial court.
It's no wonder that people in high positions often don't go to the stack.
Cheng Jinzhou thought in his heart, but gave up the throne to his grandfather and said, "You discuss, I'll watch." ”
The goal of convening the meeting was to determine the way to deal with the banquet of the Northern Han Emperor, and he naturally would not give in lightly because of a holy decree. It's just a big deal to resist the decree, he thinks so, and it's not like he hasn't done it.
Officials in the southwest are aware that local interests and the spirit of the central government are often distorted, but the question of the Northern Han royal family is clearly beyond their competence. In other words, such a decisive strategic policy is not at all considered by these ordinary officers in charge of operations.
Cheng Wenzheng nodded secretly, knowing that his eldest grandson wanted to transform one person's decision into a collective decision of the military and political circles in the southwest, which was quite useful in the process of exerting pressure.
Cheng Jinzhou sat on the chair, seemingly listening attentively, but in fact he was struggling with the customer service.
The latter basically has no means to restrain Cheng Jinzhou now, and can only maintain an attitude of pretending to cooperate, and has not completely torn his face.
How long the meeting is, how long Cheng Jinzhou's competition is.
When the moon was in the treetops, everyone still didn't get one. The unanimous answer, which is quite surprising.
Cheng Jinzhou and his grandfather glanced at each other, and it could be seen that they represented the gentlemen of various families. It seems that it also has its own interests. For example, keeping the Northern Han royal family in the Northern Han seemed to be beneficial to their control over the nobles and even resources of the Northern Han Dynasty.
But as far as Xiao Cheng is concerned, throwing the little emperor thousands of miles away is the best in his own interests
Target.
"It's getting late, let's go and rest first." The situation in front of him, at least to the surprise of the Cheng family, Cheng Jinzhou stood up and said a word, turned around and left.
A few of the leading officers left nonchalantly. They represent the forces of the Ezhou Ning family and the Jinchuan Li family respectively. In the war against the Northern Han Dynasty, they had a very positive attitude after many years of fighting, and many of the children in their families rushed to the front.
But on the issue of the distribution of benefits. They also ask for more than any other house.
If the Northern Han Dynasty can be slaughtered in a proper manner, there are a few buildings near the water. The big family can naturally go to the next level. This is the family's hundred-year plan, looking at such a vast world in the Northern Han Dynasty, anyone must be tempted.
Cheng Jinzhou's departure made a group of people's worries lightened.
If the Cheng family tried their best to oppose it, their families, who were not strong, would naturally retreat.
But the balance of interests is the norm, no matter who cooperates with the Cheng family, it is impossible to be well-behaved like a cat, eat a mouse and leave a skin for you.
Cheng Jinzhou is not very good at dealing with it, so he simply left without speaking.
The former customer service classmate leaned on his shoulder and said with a smile: "It seems that your internal chaos is no worse than that of the Star Alliance." ”
"Chaos within the Covenant?" Cheng Jinzhou took the opportunity to ask.
"Always fighting." The koala sighed like a stupid dog.
"Who's fighting whom?" Cheng Jinzhou still wants to hear the news.
The koala laughed twice. Instead, he said, "In your parlance, it's called a backyard fire, how are you going to put it out?" ”
"The chairman of my family said that the matter should be grasped by the main and contradictory. My main contradiction now is the Buddha. Cheng Jinzhou slapped the door open and shouted, "Shimo, have the teams who went to get livestock come back?" ”
"Most of them have already returned."
"What about livestock? How many? "Cheng Jinzhou wants to buy books, and he has to ask for money, and now that he counts the total funds, he must be enough, but he can't sell everything.
Shimo nervously took out the paper from his pocket. He was ready, and he was afraid that he would ask. After a pause, he said: "There are 10,000 cows, 80,000 horses, 10,000 sheep, and 30,000 donkeys."
This number is definitely discounted. Several cavalry units have to be greedy, but despite this, tens of thousands of cattle can still bring tens of millions of income.
Cheng Jinzhou looked at the few numbers he had left in the Star Alliance account, and didn't care that it was getting late, so he immediately ordered: "Go collect the things now, and let those guards run away and change our people." (To be continued)
