The proprietor once set the Jiangdu as the accompanying capital, and like the eastern capital, there were six departments, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Administration, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Hanlin Academy, and the Guozijian, known as the Southern Zhili. However, compared with the six departments of the eastern capital, although the names are the same, they are all called officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and the official levels are also the same. Let's not mention that the six Shangshu of the Eastern Capital can enter the cabinet, and can even serve as the first assistant, that is, the functions and powers of the two six departments are also a heaven and an underground, and every time the governor enters the Eastern Capital, he must prepare Bing Jing and carbon respect, but in Jiangdu, Hugh said that it was Bing Tan Jing, but it was just a governor of Jiangdu, and it had already silenced the six departments of Jiangdu. Therefore, the six departments of Jiangdu are actually the place of pension and distribution, among which the official positions are basically idle except for the military department Shangshu who is slightly in charge of the military power.

Generally speaking, anyone who holds military power, whether it is a governor, a vassal king, or a metropolitan governor, if he wants to mobilize local generals and generals, he still has to add the title of secretary of the military department, after all, the metropolitan governor is generally only in charge of the border army. Just like Xiao Yu, his full official name is the King of Xiping County, Doctor of Guanglu, Shangzhu State, Governor of Dadu, and the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Soldiers, of which the King of Xiping County is the title, the doctor of Guanglu is a loose rank, Shangzhu is a commander, and the Governor of Dadu is a real position. Today's Jiangdu Military Department is the secretary of the Jiangdu Military Department, which is concurrently served by Lu Qian, the governor of Jiangdu.

It can be said that today's Lu Qian is to Jiangdu, just as Xu Lin was to Zhongdu, and the herdsmen were to the northern capital.

A luxury giant boat sails on the Grand Canal in Jiangdu, although there are countless merchant ships along the way, but since this ship, they are all incomparably small, and a big flag of gratitude on the giant boat has made many wealthy families have to retreat. After all, this is the treasure ship of the Xie clan, the largest clan in Jiangzuo, and Jiangnan, where the family is more important than the country, even the governor does not dare to say what about these high-ranking lords who have taken root for hundreds of years.

The owner of the treasure boat is naturally the head of the Xie family, known as the first Xie Gongyi of Jiangzuo, first studied under the Taoist master Du Ming when he was a child, and then studied with the great master of Confucianism Zhang Yin, in the year of its establishment, it has been a collection of Taoism and Confucianism.

The Xie family is glorious because of Xie Gongyi, and Xie Gongyi is also because he was born in the Xie family, so he can have today's fame. In the same way, if Jiangnan Daomen wants to stabilize their position, they must befriend local wealthy families, and local wealthy families such as the Xie family can take advantage of the momentum of Daomen while befriending Daomen. It can be described as mutually beneficial.

At this time, among the guests on the ship, there were Du Mingshi, the speaker of Jiangnan Daomen and the teacher of Xie Gongyi's enlightenment, and the other two guests were Xiao Yu and his wife. The two of them who were fighting were barely shaking hands and making peace after Master Du Ming's maneuvering, but Xie Gongyi never mentioned who the person who asked him to help talk to Xiao Yu was. Xiao Yu didn't ask much, he thought that this person should be Master Du Mingshi, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it is not this real person of the Daomen, but in the Jiangnan realm, who else can bother this first person in Jiangzuo to go out in person?

Master Du Mingshi didn't have any doubts, in his opinion, there were only two people who could support him as a good apprentice, needless to say, he himself wanted to occupy one of the seats, as for the other person, Bacheng was the great Confucian master Zhang Yin who competed with him for apprenticeship. Master Du Mingshi knew that although Xie Gongyi was raised by himself as a Taoist, he was influenced by his family history and Zhang Yin, and he was still a Confucian in his bones, at most he was close to Taoism.

Probably because he remembered Zhang Yin, Du Mingshi simply told Xiao Yu all the situation in Jiangnan, "Lord Wang, since you have come to Jiangnan, there are some things that you have to say clearly, in terms of the current situation, Jiangnan can be roughly divided into six families, one sect, and two sects, and the six families are Linlang Lu Clan, Jiang Ting Lin Clan, Jinshan Gong Clan, Zuozhou Sima Clan, Jiang Zuo Xie Clan and Jiangdu Lu Clan, among which Lu Qian, the head of the Lu family, controls the Jiangdu garrison and controls the military power in Jiangnan, which is the most powerful. As for the first sect, it is naturally the White Lotus Sect, which is wrapped in the Red Turban Army and erodes several states, while the two sects are my Dao Sect and the Patriotic Sword Sect, speaking of which, our two sects have the shallowest foundation, far inferior to these wealthy families. ”

Xie Gongyi was silent.

Xiao Yu was thoughtful.

Master Du Mingfu continued: "The master of the real people once said that the three places with the most families in the world are barely counted as one in the east, one in the south of the Yangtze River, and one in the country, among which the defense of the country is the most, the Zhang family, the Murong family, the Gongsun family, the Shangguan family, and the Ye family, these five major families, have been inherited for thousands of years, not to mention the successive generations of the country, those who were born in the rest of the families and served as the masters of the major sects, I don't know how many, just say that now, the sword sect master Shangguan Xianchen and the first disciple of my Dao sect are all from the country. The wealthy family in Jiangnan happens to be more than the upper than the bottom, in terms of inheritance, it is not comparable to these thousand-year-old patriotic families, but compared to the northern family that was built into the Central Plains after being built, and the withered northland family, but it is much better, at least the inheritance is not endless, the foundation is still there, as for the Dongdu family, most of them are from the dragon heroes of the year, the foundation is only a few hundred years, although the power is heavy, but in the view of these real families, there is some sudden wealth. ”

Xie Gongyi smiled and said, "The Xiao family is not a family now, but an official family." ”

Xiao Yu laughed.

In the eyes of these families, it is not the country, but the country, the family is in front, the country is behind, who is the official family, for these families, it is not a major matter involving life and death.

If it weren't for this, Xie Gongyi would not have sat at the same table with Xiao Yu, the king of the Northwest who made the Northwest land sink, and the old master of the Gong family would not have conspired with Xu Hongru, the rebel thief of the White Lotus Sect. This Red Turban Army swept Jiangnan, as long as they can't shake the foundation of these wealthy families, they can turn a blind eye, what chaotic ministers and thieves, what Li people, what do they have to do with them?

After Xie Jiabao's boat left Jiangzhou, he went straight down the Grand Canal and went straight to Jiangdu, where Dazheng was the first prosperous.

Xiao Yu smiled at Xie Gongyi and said: "Linggong, Xiao Mou thought that Confucianism was plotting, and it was divided into five grades. The fifth class, for their own self-planning, this is the normal feeling of people, most of the wealthy families are for this, it is not enough. The fourth class, for the emperor, since ancient times, strategists and military advisors, mostly for this, what they seek is nothing more than a work from the dragon, the work of support, to put it bluntly, it is just to borrow the hand of the emperor, to show their own revenge. The third class, for the world, the first minister of this dynasty Jiangling Xianggong is like this, looking at the world, through the world, seeking a broken and standing, the inner and outer kings, but so, the wealthy family for their own body to seek compared with it, the difference between cloud and mud. The second class, seeking for the common people, is the rule of the great harmony that Yasheng seeks, and no one is seen. ”

Xie Gongyi was first disdainful, then serious, and finally even more interested, and asked, "What is the first class?"

Xiao Yu laughed and said: "Mr. Hengqu has made a great vow to set up a heart for heaven and earth, ask for his life for life, continue his studies for the saints, and open peace for all generations. ”

Xie Gongyi played with the taste: "Seek for all generations?"

It's easy to fight a world of life, and it's easy to ask for a soaring immortality, but it's too difficult to want a world of peace!(A good activity for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you to take!Follow up~Dian/Chinese network public account (WeChat add friends - add public account - enter ddxiaoshuo), participate now!
