On the nineteenth day of the sixth year of the Tiansheng Dynasty, the Xuanzhi sent by the imperial court got off the ship at Yanziji in the north of Jinling City and came to Jinling.

The arrival of people made Jia Hui a little surprised.

"Why did you come here to give the decree? It's okay to send a minister over on this kind of errand, right? ”

"Naturally, the imperial grandfather sent me, and you don't even want to call me a king."

"The King. Eight? ”

"Forget it, accompany me to Madame Fengsheng's Mansion first?"

"Naturally, the etiquette is like this, it has been arranged for you, let's go in the afternoon, and we will have a meal at the old lady's side in the evening."

On the wharf, a tall man wearing a big hat, wearing a red red vermilion bird woven gold round neck and a bearskin coat, and a handsome man wearing a winged crown, wearing a big red four-group dragon complement round neck, and a fire fox fur coat, walked towards the convoy with a smile.

The entourage behind him was about ten paces away from the two of them, talking to his colleagues who knew each other well.

After getting into the carriage, the convoy began to drive towards Jinling City.

Jia Hui's four-wheeled carriage had already prepared hot tea and some refreshments, and there was no charcoal stove.

The two sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke, but carefully looked at the old brother they hadn't seen for months.

"I see that the smile on your face hasn't stopped since you got off the boat, fourth, you just think of my brother and me like that?"

"You? What do you have to think about! I'm just thinking I'll see 450 million taels of silver soon, Mom. There are not many opportunities to see more than 400 million taels of silver," Chen Si said with emotion.

The person in front of him is the fourth prince, Prince Yiyong Chen Jingyuan Chen Siye!

At this moment, his guard of honor is still on the ship and has not been unloaded, and it will be too late to set up a formation and go to Jinling, so he simply let them unload it slowly, and then set it up when he goes to visit Mrs. Fengsheng in the evening.

"More than that, right? And you don't look like you're greedy for money, there must be something else! Of course, Jia Hui wouldn't believe Chen Si's nonsense.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that my father plans to focus on cultivating me!" Chen Jingyuan said with a worried look.

"Huh? Really? Jia Hui was a little confused by the good news brought by Chen Si.

"Naturally, it's true, this is what my father said in front of the emperor's grandfather." Speaking of this, Chen Si couldn't maintain his expression anymore and began to laugh tremblingly

"Hahahaha!" The unbridled laughter of the two came out of the carriage, startling the birds in the treetops on the side of the road, and their wings fluttering.

After the initial ecstasy, Jia Hui forcibly calmed down. Between finding a suitable brain, there must be one between the two of them who can keep their sanity at all times.

"Don't be complacent, from now on, you have to be careful and cautious, cautious and cautious! From now on, it is not the Holy One who is paying attention to you, but the two Saints staring at you at the same time. But if something goes wrong. After all, I just want you to go up, not you have to go up, right? The second child is good at holding the shelf, and Xiao Qi's ability is not inferior to you. ”

Jia Hui's frustrated words made Chen Si quickly calm down.

"I know, I just want to tell you, and then be happy with you."

"I'm happy for you, too, but before the universe is set, anything can happen.

In the future, we will work hard in three directions. One direction is upward, the biggest obstacle to your ascension to the throne is the second prince, after all, he is older than you, and the situation of my dynasty is special, replaced by the previous dynasty, after Prince Ying, he should be the prince. And for him, you are also the biggest threat, and he will definitely suppress you desperately. The two of you can only live one.

As for the third prince, his voice and smile are not suitable for inheriting the throne, so he doesn't have to worry about it, but can try to win him over, but I heard that his face was disfigured by the second prince's intelligence mistakes during the training."

Sucked Jia Hui took a sip of hot tea.

"Then it's downward, to prevent your younger brothers from stabbing you from behind, mainly the seventh. Lao Wu's temperament is quite similar to His Majesty, but he can't let his guard down.

Then it's time to show your abilities to the two saints. You have to have your own opinions, but you can't be stubborn. You have to be submissive to the two saints, but you can't be like an echo worm. We still have to test this degree slowly."

Jia Hui began to talk to Chen Si tirelessly, and Chen Si was not the slightest impatient.

"Okay, don't talk about me yet, my father is in the prime of spring and autumn, and the emperor's grandfather is also very tough, these things are not in a hurry, come, brother, I will replace wine with tea, and congratulate you on your success in rebellion!"

The two of them stretched out their teacups and touched them, and they raised their heads as if they were really drinking.

"I'm here this time, it's to give you a thorough reward in advance, come, let me ask you, Guogong, Dadu Governor and Taiwei you choose."

"That must be a captain!"

Jia Hui blurted out without even thinking about it.

"Sure enough, the second saint is planning to seal your Taiwei, at first it was for the sake of the original 90 million taels of silver, but didn't your counterinsurgency become a rebellion, and this Taiwei will justify it for you. But you really don't want the Duke of the Kingdom, you have to be a lieutenant who has become a false title? ”

Chen Si felt that Jia Hui had lost something.

"I don't think, I'm only nineteen this year, my original plan was to find a chance to become a national prince at the age of thirty to forty, otherwise I have become a national prince now, how will I be rewarded in the future? Is it really to become a national prince?

Besides, I don't want you to give me my kingdom in person. ”

Jia Hui smiled and filled Chen Si's teacup with water.

"Then let's talk about it."

"That's it."

Jia Hui and Chen Si looked at each other and smiled.

"By the way, I plan to take this opportunity to write and split Jiangnan Province." Jia Hui suddenly took out a piece of music from the drawer of the carriage.

"Split. Gangnam Province? Chen Si took the piece and didn't look at it first.

"Yes, what was this Jiangnan Province originally?"

"Originally. The southern Zhili of the previous dynasty? ”

"Yes, the rich land of the Seventeen Prefectures is under the jurisdiction of Jinling, in the early years of this dynasty, no, even now, taxes and grain, courses, salt classes, etc., the most is the former Nanzhili, and now Jiangnan Province." Jia Hui sighed.

"Even when the country was first founded, it was strong enough to use the power of a provincial family to fight against the court. To put it mildly, there is money here, there are people, and those who don't have it can go to sea to trade overseas, and they hold the canal, which is simply the foundation of the ready-made king! Isn't it the world that I use here as a foundation? Now that Jiangnan Province has just suffered a military disaster, the family has been wiped out, and the Jiangnan forces of the court have been swept away, it is a good time to split Jiangnan Province! ”

In fact, the founding of the Great Qi mainly relied on Shandong soldiers and Jianghuai soldiers, and the most money and grain in the south of the Yangtze River were the most money, and the least people were out. Military generals are counted separately.

"Okay, I'll read your recitals for the past two days, and if you can convince me, I'll be famous." Although Chen Si moved, he did not agree on the spot.

Jia Hui is right, there is no resistance to the division of Jiangnan Province at present. And if it is really split, how many more official positions will come out, if the people of their own faction can get these seats, even if there is only one province

"The second thing is to request the abolition of the lowly nationality, this time the remnants of the previous dynasty were able to make a rebellion, thanks to the Jiangnan family's great lack of virtue for their own slaves, giving them the environment to be able to connect the slaves to kill the lord and rebel. All the civil and military forces involved in the rebellion have signed jointly, do you want to sign one too? ”

Jia Hui once again took out a piece of music from the drawer that was much larger than the previous one.

Chen Si wrote his name without thinking about it and stamped it with the king's seal.

Another thing to say is that the attitude must be laid out first.

The Jia family has many children, and some have even been servants of the Jia family since the generation of Mrs. Jia, serving the Jia family for more than 100 years, and experiencing many ups and downs together. They know or participate in too many secrets of the Jia family, and they will definitely not let them go.

Besides, they don't necessarily give up their status as slaves.

Freedom comes at a price.

Not to mention anything else, after becoming a free body, we will not talk about the heavy taxes, hard work in the fields, and the way out for future generations. In the Lord's house, they can follow the Lord's family's roars, and the fox and the tiger become decent people, but what about after regaining their freedom and leaving the Lord's house?

Therefore, Jia Hui is not worried that her own children will choose to lose everything they have now in exchange for the freedom that has a slim future.

Even if you are like Qingwen, you will be entangled for a long time when facing these two choices, and you don't know what to do.

Are they willing to lose this glory and wealth that they have bought for dignity?

But the actual is the actual, the form is the form, and in any case, it's time to abolish such a thing.

Nominally.

。。。。。。

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth month of the lunar month, the governor of Qincha Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Shangzhuguo, the great Sima general, the governor of the left army, and the Duke of Dunhuang County, Jia Hui, "Please Demolish Jiangnan Province" and the joint name of the rebel Zhu Wenwu, "Please abolish the lowly nationality and sparse", were in the temple, and the government and the opposition were shocked for a time and caused heated discussions.

I thought that the princes of the court would definitely fight for these two ways, but unexpectedly, the Holy Lord directly issued an edict to allow the abolition of the untouchables, and the people instantly boiled, especially those who were untouchables, and they rushed to tell each other, shouting that the Holy Son of Heaven is in the court, and there are more loyal and good assistants to the court, and the great Qi is ten thousand years!

As for "Please Demolish Jiangnan Province", the imperial court did not object, but there were differences on how to demolish it.

In the end, on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, that is, on the eve of the annual holiday, the cabinet still used the proposal of the great Sima general Jia Hui to split Jiangnan Province.

Xuzhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Jinling, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou and Songjiang are eight provinces as a province, and the name of the province is tentatively Jianghuai Province.

Fengyang, Luzhou, Anqing, Chizhou, Ningguo, Chuzhou, Hezhou, Taiping, Huizhou and Guangdezhou are added to Guangdezhou as a province, tentatively named Anhui Province.

In fact, there was no rebellion in Anhui, but the eight provinces in the east were all reversed, and the court forces in the eight provinces in the east were also swept away, and it was useless for the officials in Anhui to oppose it, as long as Jianghuai Province was separated.

As for where the capitals of various places are, let the local officials who will arrive after the year fight and decide for themselves.

As for who to send to the post, that will be a matter of the next year.

。。。。。。

Chen Jingyuan also left Jiangnan a year ago.

He was accompanied by 420 million taels of silver, 4 million taels of gold, and countless jewels and antiques.

The seizures left for Jia Hui were 20 million taels of silver, 500,000 taels of gold and 5,000 boxes of various treasures, calligraphy and paintings.

Another 10 million taels were left, and 5 million taels were transferred to the newly established two provinces as start-up funds.

The rest of the money was distributed to the counterinsurgency army and the civilian and military forces.

It's really been a fat year!

For the whereabouts of the counterinsurgency army.

The Jiangnan battalion naturally stayed in Jiangnan, and they themselves were field troops stationed in Jiangnan to suppress the southern country.

For the children of Caogong, Jia Hui gave them three choices.

The first is to supplement the Jiangnan battalion and the Cao soldiers, so that they can stay in the army all the time and not far from home.

Second, if they want to continue to work hard to climb up, Jia Hui can transfer them to the Nine Frontiers, Western Regions, Southwest, Liaodong and other frontiers for development.

The third is to take the severance money back to his hometown.

In the end, nearly half of the people chose to leave the army and go home, and they were arranged into the Jiangnan camp and Cao soldiers who wanted to eat for a while, and the rest were those who wanted to take this road firmly, and Jia Hui also arranged them to the frontier according to their respective specialties.

Ning Zhe also wanted to take this road, but as the first to break Zhenjiang, he had to go back to Luoyang with Jia Hui and others to receive rewards before making arrangements.

During the Spring Festival of the seventh year of Tiansheng, Jia Hui spent it with the Jinling people in Jinling. In this counterinsurgency, many people of the Jinling tribe also chose to join the army and enlist in the army to have a future.

Since the clansmen were self-motivated, of course Jia Hui would not stop them, so he sent them to the Caogong children army and the Jiangnan camp. There is nothing else, it is all up to their ability to come out, and Jia Hui's only care for them is to ensure that their military exploits will be in their hands at all.

By the end of the counterinsurgency, a total of seventeen clansmen had survived and emerged, and the lowest positions were the general banner.

Among these seventeen clansmen, Jia Wan, who was the same generation as Jia Hui, was the most, and he was promoted to the guerrilla general of the Jiangnan Daying Infantry Army because of his merits.

Jia Hui stayed in Jiangnan until the Shangyuan Festival, when the imperial court appointed the prime minister in charge of splitting the affairs of the two provinces arrived, and then he took three concubines and the Vermilion Bird Iron Horse on the way home.

Yangzhou Patrol Salt Imperial History Yamen.

Jia Hui met Jia Min's mother and daughter again. and Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai went out on an errand, and the new salt policy he wrote was quite appreciated by the emperor, and Yangzhou was set up as a pilot to experiment with the new salt method.

I heard that the salt merchant bought the salt on the spot and paid the tax on the spot. Combined with the salt situation of the year, a maximum price was set, and how much the salt merchants could sell depends on their ability.

The specific situation is more complicated, all kinds of problems emerge one after another, Lin Ruhai, the leader of the busy feet do not touch the ground, has been busy for more than 20 days in a row has been running back and forth in various salt farms, and came back on Chinese New Year's Eve to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Poor that he started losing his hair when he was only in his twenties.

Fortunately, it has always been a minor problem, and there have been no major problems. If Lin Ruhai can do a good job in the reform of salt affairs, then his future will no longer be hindered, and the head of the household department is beckoning to him, and entering the cabinet is just around the corner.

The emperor has already spoken, no matter whether the reform is successful or not, he Lin Ruhai will definitely return to Beijing this year. After all, he has been dragging him for several years for various reasons, and this year he has made great contributions to getting rid of the salt merchants who colluded with the White Lotus Sect, and it will be disadvantageous if he is not promoted.

Probably because of the happy events, coupled with the arrival of the Jia family's generals, the inner ghost who poisoned the food was captured, the old lady of the Lin family is in good spirits, and it is estimated that she can live for a few more years.

Jia Hui came over this time to take the Lin family's family members to Luoyang.

The first update,

This chapter explains the whereabouts of people from all walks of life, and there are some trivial matters, which are more messy...
