Section 184 Bottoming out
At the end of last year, he had a banquet with Shi Gong, and Shi Gong felt a lot, but he was full of praise for the county duke. Yu Chi Yanxia picked up the conversation, "The peaceful handover of Xuzhou between the county prince and the Shi prince is really the blessing of the people of Xuzhou." ”
"Yes, I also hope that there will be less strife and war in this world, but unfortunately it seems a bit unrealistic. Jiang Feng shook his head, "The gap between Hu and Han, the conflict of interests, any of which can make people fight for life and death, how can this world be stable?"
Seeing Jiang Feng and Yu Chi Yanxia talking around and around, Li Jin was also a little funny.
For this visit to Xuzhou, the scale of the mission has suddenly expanded a lot, and Li Jin is also somewhat aware of the intentions of the families.
The situation in Guanzhong is unstable, and the threat of party members is increasing, which makes the ministers who have been indulging in peace and happiness realize that the war is approaching.
Finding a more reliable place to rely on, or a place to go in a critical moment, has become a practical problem that families have to consider.
As far as the eye can see, this Xuzhou has become the most dazzling and high-profile place.
was blackmailed by the party members, and the vitality of each family was not lightly injured, if the party members made a comeback again this year, can each family still bear it?
Even if you can carry it, I'm afraid everyone is not willing to carry it, and the imperial army can't win, and for each family, the interests of the imperial court and the interests of each family are not consistent, and then it may really become a big disaster when they fly separately.
When they stayed in Shouzhou and waited for the ship, many people in the mission had wandered in Shouzhou, and the gentry and wealthy merchants from Luoyang and Bianliang went south in an endless stream, and chose Shouzhou as their place of settlement, which also touched the envoys of various families.
Shouzhou is the industrial and commercial center of Huainan, the leading big city in the Huaishui Basin, even if the scale of the city is not yet able to catch up with Chuzhou, but it is not far behind, and its development momentum is far better than Chuzhou, the next one or two years to surpass Chuzhou is a sure thing, so it is normal to attract the gentry and businessmen who came to the south to escape the war.
The gentry and merchants of Liangdi went to Shouzhou instead of Xuzhou because they knew that they had no chance of obtaining political privileges in Xuzhou.
The Zhu family itself is a hooligan-born ruffian, and most of the families attached to it are low-level characters such as smugglers, pawns, and homeless people, they are not gentry at all, even if they are called lonely and widowed in Liangdi, they are also selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and it is of course impossible to gain recognition in Xuzhou.
But for the princess family in Chang'an City, it is different.
They are from the first-class gentry family in Guanzhong, whether it is blood or kinship, they can be called noble, just like the children of the Liu family of Nanyang and the Yuan family of Caizhou are eager to meet the children of the nine princes' families, and no one will ignore this.
They are born political families and hard-working people, and perhaps they feel that they deserve to be treated here as well, but the question is whether Jiro will accept this view?
Li Jin was a little worried, this could taste some flavor from Erlang's lukewarm attitude towards the second brother of Wei Chi, but the second brother of Wei Chi seemed to think that Erlang was pretending to be reserved in front of the imperial court.
Li Jin found that she seemed to see some of Jiang Feng's thoughts clearly, but she felt that she had only seen through some things on the surface, Jiang Feng's calm face and warm gaze always made her feel a little unsure, but she couldn't say anything wrong.
Jiang Feng seemed to be very enthusiastic about the imperial court envoys, and he almost responded to the requirements of the envoys, such as contact with the generals, inspections in the army, conversations with officials, liaison with the gentry, and of course negotiations with businessmen.
But there is one thing Li Jin can feel, at least Jiang Feng's attitude towards herself has not changed, as before, which makes her feel a lot more at ease.
"Erlang, we came from Shouzhou, the price of grain in Shouzhou is much cheaper than that in Guanzhong, even less than thirty percent, there are many victims in Chang'an City, can we send grain to Guanzhong?" Li Jin diverted the topic, but the topic raised was also unpleasant.
"Your Royal Highness, Shouzhou grain is not cheap, compared with last year's autumn harvest, it still rose by forty percent, there are still a few months before the summer harvest, it is estimated that there will be some increase in grain prices, as for the grain in Guanzhong, it is not a problem here, but how to import it is a problem. ”
Jiang Feng kicked away lightly, this girl was still too immature, and it was estimated that this was probably a big question given to her to come to Xuzhou.
Jiang Feng also knew that he had to answer this question, but he couldn't take it so quickly, you must know that these people must still have a lot of requirements, and they have to bite hard about themselves as fat, how can this work?
"What's the difficulty? Nanyang will not obstruct it, this can be guaranteed. Yu Chi Yanxia immediately answered.
"Nanyang won't obstruct it, but what about Shangzhou?" Jiang Feng asked rhetorically.
"Shangzhou?Yang Chengfang?" Wei Chi Yanxia's face was a little strange, "Does the county prince think that Yang Chengfang will have any other situation?"
Although Yang Chengfang is a member of the Yang clan and has something to do with Yang Wenchang, even when the party members besieged the city, Yang Chengfang also behaved very docilely, and there was never anything unusual.
Jiang Feng smiled, just shook his head, but was silent.
It seems that the children of the imperial court really regard Yang Chengfang as a harmless sheep to humans and animals, and they don't want to think about it, at this time and that time, the current Nanyang is no longer able to intervene in the gold business, but Yang Wenchang is powerful, how can Yang Chengfang be obedient again?
Seeing that Jiang Feng just shook his head and said nothing, Li Jin was shocked in his heart.
She remembered that Jiang Feng had mentioned to her when he left Chang'an the year before last, to be careful of Yang Wenchang, and the imperial court should decisively take the Xingyuan Mansion.
Of course, if you want to take Xingyuan Mansion, you don't want to take it, and the situation in the imperial court does not allow it, but at that time, Jiang Feng had already pointed out that Yang Wenchang had bad intentions, which shows that Jiang Feng also has deep insights into the situation in Guanzhong.
Later, he also asked some people and talked about the situation in Shannan West Road, but no one took it seriously, and it was not until Yang Wenchang won the battle with Tubo and forced Tubo to seek peace and move westward, and the imperial court began to realize the expansion of Yang Wenchang's power, but unfortunately it was too late.
"Erlang, do you think Yang Chengfang wants to follow in Yang Wenchang's footsteps?" Li Jin asked in a low voice, and the voice could only be heard by a few people around him.
"Hehe, Your Highness, it's not in the footsteps of Yang Wenchang, but they originally have the same surname, of course, you may think that Yang Fuguang and Yang Fugong are eunuchs, and these so-called descendants are not related by blood, but they don't think so, their common origin and family background have tied them together, if Yang Wenchang and Yang Chengfang join forces, I am afraid that the situation in Guanzhong will be very bad. ”
Jiang Feng also knew that his point of view might not be recognized by these people, because Yang Chengfang's performance was too good.
When Nanyang Liu Tong sent troops to Lantian to show his willingness to intervene in the party and threaten Guanzhong, Yang Chengfang supported it with all his might, although the strength was a little worse, but the momentum of waving the flag and shouting was still sufficient, and the Wuguan was opened, and Shangzhou was like no one in Nanyang.
But that's for Nanyang, not for the imperial court!
People like Yang Wenchang and Yang Chengfang respect strength, not the false name of the imperial court, maybe they will be false to you for their own purposes, but when it is really about key interests, they will not hesitate to tear off the veil and show their hideous faces.
But the people in the imperial court feel too good about themselves, even Li Jin, they have reminded her many times, but they have never realized this, which makes Jiang Feng speechless.
Maybe you should have a good talk with Guo Tao, after all, the imperial court is still very useful to him, and it would be a pity to lose this righteous name, but Jiang Feng didn't want the imperial court to move to his own territory.
Now is not the end of the Han Dynasty, the matter of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes is useless to the Hu people in the north, and the strength of the Guan Sergeant clan is too strong, and he can't control it now.
"Does the county prince think too badly about people's hearts, Yang Chengfang and Yang Wenchang are not the same kind of people, Yang Wenchang is a wolf in sheep's clothing, Yang Chengfang has always been interested in the imperial court, this time our mission came to the east, Yang Chengfang was also very courteous, and said to a certain person, I hope to have more contacts with Xuzhou,......"
Another man interjected that it was Wei Duan, a disciple of the Wei family.
Guanzhong military generals in the family to the five major families, Xu, Wei Chi, Xue, Wei, Guo, the civil official family in the eldest grandson, Du, Wei, Fang four families as the head, as well as such as the Gao family, Qu family, Yin family, Yu family, Chu family, Lou family, Lu family, Li family, etc., after hundreds of years and dozens of dynasties, the Tang Dynasty from the Lingyan Pavilion when the twenty-four meritorious families, the kings of the past dynasties have risen emerging families, but the wind is always blown away by the rain and wind, can survive to the present can still stand, can not but say that there is some heritage.
Wei Duan is Wei Tong's nephew, and Jiang Feng has a good impression of Wei Tong, so he is also courteous to Wei Duan.
"Hehe, the jade test will be burned for three days, and the talent will be waiting for seven years. Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble to the corporal, and when Xiang Envoy died first, who knows the truth of his life?" Jiang Feng seemed to smile, "I think this poem by Lotte Gong is meaningful. ”
Li Jin's face was complicated, and Yu Chi Yanxia and Wei Duan were a little unimpressed by Jiang Feng's words, thinking that Jiang Feng was making excuses and was unwilling to send grain to Chang'an.
Jiang Feng also saw the other party's mentality, and shook his head, "Grain is expensive at the moment, but I would like to urge grain merchants to buy grain from Shouzhou, Shuzhou, and Luzhou to Chang'an, but I hope that the war in the Central Plains can be extinguished as soon as possible, and if you can take the canal, you can save a lot, and the price of grain can also drop a lot." ”
Finally came to this topic, the Central Plains war has been extinguished early, hehe, is it possible that Xuzhou just watched the Central Plains war burn and stood by and watched?
Whether it is Wei Chi Yanxia or Wei Duan, they don't think that Xuzhou can stay out of the matter, but what kind of way Jiang Feng wants to intervene is what they are most concerned about, and it is also one of the purposes of their visit to Xuzhou this time.
