Jiangdong, Jianye.

Thousands of sails on the Yangtze River are like clouds, coming and going, extremely spectacular.

Hundreds of large ships are moored in the harbor, ranging from flat-bottomed ships specialized in river transportation to seagoing vessels.

With the rise of Lingnan and Jiaozhi, Jianye became a transit station between the north and the south, and the grain and products in the south reached the Yangtze River by sea, entered the water through the Yangtze River, and then entered the water through the river, Huaishui, and Yingshui, arrived at Luoyang, and then entered Guanzhong through the Yellow River.

Nearly 10,000 porters and slender men were busy in the port, moving the goods from the port onto the ship and unloading the goods on the ship.

With the accumulation of population and materials, it is difficult for Jianye not to prosper.

A single piece of transport has fed tens of thousands of people.

Compared with ploughing the fields, Caoyun can ensure harvest in drought and flood, and one person can contribute to support a family of four.

Men contribute, women tinker and do some embroidery, the old man grows some vegetables, and there is a surplus at home.

The imperial court did not levy taxes on Caofu, but only levied two months of forced labor in the off-season of Caoyun every year.

Dredging rivers, or building ports, food and shelter, so the townspeople are happy to go.

In the past few years, under the careful management of Wang Jun, Jianye has been cooking oil even more.

Today's Jianye City is more than twice as large as that year, the city is full of pearls, household Ying Luoqi, high platform pavilions, and the scale of the rows, and the people who come and go from the south to the north will stop for a few days to taste the style of the south of the Yangtze River.

Occasionally, Sogdians, Persians, and so on can be seen in fancy costumes.

The prosperity of Jianye has also driven the entire Jiangdong.

In the past, under the guidance of the Juntian system, the former Shanyue and Shanban walked out of the deep mountains and became the people to be returned and governed by Daqin, building water conservancy and reclaiming wasteland.

Where there is water, the land is naturally fertile.

Jiangdong is swampy and muddy, and has been turned into patches of fertile land.

After the introduction of Champong rice, the entire six counties of Jiangdong became a veritable land of fish and rice.

In the past two years, it has even shouted the slogan of "Jiangdong is rich in the world", and Huainan in the north of the river has become one of the most important granaries of the Great Qin Empire.

Today's Daqin has five major grain-producing areas, Shuzhong, Hebei, Qingyan, Jianghuai, and Jiaozhi.

Shuzhong, Jianghuai, and Jiaozhi promoted Zhancheng rice, and together, the yield exceeded that of the north.

Guanzhong can only grow wheat, millet and other crops, so it is slightly inferior to these five granaries, plus Guanzhong has more and more population, and the grain produced has to support Hexi, Shuofang, Monan and other places, without surplus, it is naturally not a granary.

In Jianye City, the Wuzhou Thorn Mansion is extremely gorgeous, and it is only a little worse than the Wu Palace back then.

Wang Jun had excellent pomp, hugging before and out, long halberd banners, more than 500 people before and after, all dressed in silk and satin, fresh clothes and angry horses, swaggering through the market.

Food must be delicacies from the mountains and seas, and clothes must be superior to Shu brocade.

The name of luxury is known from far and near.

However, the people did not hate him, but loved him very much, and every time they mentioned the history of Wang Thorn, they gave him a thumbs up.

Guy Wang Jun practiced the art of Huang Lao, rested with the people, widely practiced benevolent government, abolished all kinds of heavy taxes and forced labor in the former Wu, exterminated thieves from all over the country, established prestige, and the people of all ethnic groups near and far came to join him.

It can be said that Jiangdong has today's prosperity, and most of it is due to Wang Jun's contributions.

However, on this day, an uninvited guest came to the palace.

"Does the assassin know that a catastrophe is coming?" The person who came with short hair under his chin was one of the people who planned to attack the prince in the first place.

Today's Wang Jun is sixty and seven, from the Sima family to the old Yang family, what wind and waves have not been seen? Glancing at him, "Your Excellency might as well say it clearly, a certain government affairs are entangled, and you don't have time to play dumb riddles." ”

"Then I will say bluntly, the prince has 30,000 iron horses into Jiangdong, called Qingcha Jiangdong, but in fact, he is here for the envoy!"

"Oh?" Wang Jun came to be interested.

"The envoy did not listen to the orders of the prince and Du pre-order, and sent troops without authorization, which will be disliked by the prince, and the envoy has not befriended the upstarts these years, and there is no backer in the court, and the situation is as dangerous as a burden......

In recent years, the power of the crown prince has become more and more powerful, Wang Jun is not a member of the prince's line, and these years have run counter to the style of the imperial court advocating borrowing, so naturally there will be a lot of handles.

"So what do you think you should do?" Wang Jun said with a smile.

"In order to make the king's plan, it is better to go to the table, say goodbye to the old and return to the hometown, but you can also live for a long time." A gleam flashed in the short-haired man's eyes.

Wang Jun has a heavy heart for fame and a great desire for power.

In the hands of the Sima family, he was not in his fifties before he was in his fifties, defected to Daqin, relied on the suppression of the nobles and the strong, and handed over the name of the vote, only to be reused, and after the destruction of Wu, he was appreciated by the emperor and guarded the most important Wuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

How could Wang Jun return to his hometown?

In the past few years, Jiangdong has been in power, and he still wants to use this political achievement to enter the cabinet and become the fifth Pingshang scholar in Daqin.

"Is there any other way you can do it?" Wang Jun's expression became solemn.

The crown prince did not necessarily have to punish him with capital crimes, but repression was inevitable.

"Of course there is a way, as long as the crown prince of Great Qin is still in the position of the king...... After all, it is difficult to preserve, and sooner or later the country of Great Qin will belong to the prince, unless the prince has some three long and two short......"

"You are so daring!" Wang Jun rebuked in a low voice.

But there was not much anger in his expression.

As soon as the short-haired man heard this tone, he knew that he had made trouble with Wang Jun, "The envoy was also a powerful figure back then, and he was constantly interrupted, and then he was disturbed." ”

Wang Jun's courage is well known.

The prince's 30,000 iron horses went south, which inevitably made people think about it.

Who else in the whole of Jiangnan needs to make such a big move?

Wang Jun said: "Your Excellency is the old Sima family, you don't have to hide it, be open and honest, what do you want to do, what do you want to do?" ”

The short-haired man was stunned, he didn't expect to be recognized so quickly, but thinking about it, if he didn't have this identity, how could Wang Jun give him a chance to meet alone?

"Haha, I really can't hide it from the envoy! Yes, it is the Sima family that is old and old! ”

"Chen Man?" Wang Jun recalled, "Ling Zun was Chen Xiuyuan back then? ”

Chen Qian's character Xiuyuan, the Battle of Hedong, Chen Qian led the division to break through the important town of Huayin and went straight to Chang'an.

If Sima Yan listened to Chen Qian's advice and left Hedong alone, the 200,000 army would attack Guanzhong, but I was afraid that the victory or defeat would still be unknown.

At that time, Wang Jun was under Chen Qian and received Chen Qian's favor, so Chen Man was the son of the old man.

Chen Qian died early, and the family escaped the liquidation of Great Qin, but Great Qin let them go, and they didn't plan to let Great Qin go.

After all, there is the hatred of killing his father first, and then there is the hatred of seizing land.

"So, you are commissioned by the Sima family?" Unconsciously, Wang Jun has turned against the customer.

Chen Manyi gritted his teeth, "Yes, a certain person came here on the trust of Sima Gong and invited the envoy to do a big thing!" ”

"What's the big deal?" There was not the slightest hint of hypocrisy on Wang Jun's face.

A man who is almost seventy years old, his life's experience makes him flawless.

At least at Chen Man's level, I don't see anything wrong.

With the current situation, it is they who need Wang Jun more, not Wang Jun who needs them.
