The rise of the prince

Chapter 319 280 Six, Jiangzhou
At the end of May, the army returned triumphantly.

The little aunt was outside the city, happy to see him come back, and dragged him to ask questions.Li Xingzhou also noticed that his sister-in-law was sizing up and caring about Jiao Shan from the corner of his eye. Due to etiquette, he only glanced slightly from the beginning to the end, and didn't dare to look more.

Even though Jiao Shan was besieged in the princess mansion, he would never leave at a critical moment, he was indeed affectionate and righteous.

There was joy in the city of Luzhou, the people sang and danced, and those who returned victorious were able to reunite with their tearful family members.

But some people rejoice, and naturally some people cry, because there are still many people who will never come back.

Li Xingzhou stayed in Luzhou for a few days, during which time he started to disband the super-raised local bravery and seal up the ordnance. It is impossible for him to bring these people back to Beijing.

The prefect of Huaihua built a building to ask for an audience several times, and officials of all sizes from Huaihua Prefecture also came to visit him one after another.

He mostly ignored it. As for Qidong, he is just an old man who is obsessed with ghosts and heavy metals. He is lucky to have capable children, otherwise Luzhou would have been in trouble.Now that Yongdong and Qirui have passed away one after another, he may not be the magistrate for long.

In the traditional moral concept, people believe that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, but the reality is mostly not the case, so they can only comfort themselves with the fact that the time has not come.

Just like this time, Ding Yi may have deserved what he deserved, but why did the many people in Sulu and Lu deserve it?In the end, countless people died.Could it be that even good and evil are unfair?
He took off the uniform, the saddle and muzzle of Meixue, and let it have fun on its own. These days it was rare to relax for a few days, so he simply took Qiu'er to visit Luzhou happily.Di Zhi helped him handle the rest.

a few days later.
"What are your plans for the future?"

Small street shops, faded square tables, short stools with four legs, the surface is full of grooves, and the raised parts are polished smooth.

There were a few side dishes and two or three wine cups on the table. Even these were considered precious in Luzhou after the catastrophe.

The street is gradually returning to its former prosperity, but it can be seen that the figures are sparse, and the dark red blood stains on the corners have not been completely wiped off.

Qifang shook her head in confusion: "I don't know, probably find the sister-in-law and nephew who are living in Guazhou, raise them well, and just recruit a decent husband to start the family and continue the family incense."

Li Xingzhou nodded, but in fact, Qifang is such a powerful and self-motivated woman, she would never be reconciled to marrying someone. Qijia brothers and sisters have helped him a lot, so he will never forget it.

"I will report the merits of starting a family truthfully, but I'm afraid it will all fall to your father in the end."

Qifang nodded, drank a glass of wine and looked out the window: "I've already gotten used to it."

Li Xingzhou didn't say much. As a daughter, it meant that the credit would not fall to her.Women are just subordinates of men, women cannot be famous, and women are virtuous without talent. This is a deeply rooted concept in people's minds, and it cannot be changed by a sentence or two in three to five years.

"After I return to the palace, I may send people from the palace to do business in the south. How about doing things for me then?" Li Xingzhou asked. He wanted to use the big boat of the palace to control the waterway. If it weren't for the chaos in the south and the cut off of the waterway, the palace may have begun to control it now. Water transported.

"Do what?" she asked.

"Water transport, you have seen the big ship of the palace. I am going to transport the things from the south to the north, and then transport the things from the north to the south. Both sides will pay the price." Li Xingzhou said without hesitation.

Qi Fang was stunned for a long time: "The dignified court, King Pingnan, has a great reputation and has made great contributions to the world, but he is so useless. He doesn't want to make achievements and seal the country, but wants to be a businessman?"

"Why, can the prince not be in business?" Li Xingzhou asked amusedly, and drank a glass as he spoke.

"Hehe, no one can stop what you want to do with the prince's temperament." Qifang also smiled: "Anyway, now that the eldest brother and the second brother are gone, I was born as a daughter, and no one will demand anything. Why not do it?" .If you have nothing to do, you will have nowhere to go until the world is stable.”

Li Xingzhou nodded, feeling bitter for her, but still smiled and toasted her: "Happy cooperation."

"Happy renting together."

Mr. Lu Xun said, "The most painful thing in life is waking up from a dream, only to find that there is no way out."

Qifang is like this.As a daughter, she can show her talents in turmoil and chaos, satisfying her desire for power and upward expectations, but once the world settles down, the world will remain the same, and an independent woman will eventually have nowhere to go.

The next day, when the army returned to the imperial court, my sister-in-law prepared a lot of small and delicate items for him, and repeatedly told him to be careful on the road. When he arrived in the capital, he took her to say hello to the emperor, because the child was still young, and she could not return to Beijing.

On the other hand, Li Xingzhou insisted on keeping the gift money given to him by the big families in the princess mansion, because after going through this catastrophe, the princess mansion is not easy, and the palace is definitely not short of money, even though he has been away from home for a long time.

Seeing that my sister-in-law was much more haggard than when I first met him, Li Xingzhou looked at Jiao Shan, who was standing quietly like a wooden stake, so cold that he didn't move, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, I think Uncle Jiao Shan is good. It's not worth your time to waste your time, you don't need to think about it too much, after all, this is Luzhou, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away."

After speaking, he got on his horse and bid farewell to my sister-in-law.

Everyone shouldn't live for others, so does my sister-in-law. Unfortunately, in this era, only men can divorce women, and women have no choice. My sister-in-law shouldn't be like this, at least his useless son-in-law is not worthy of her strict adherence.

Princess Qing'an had a complicated expression as she watched him go away, on the boundless journey back to the north.

Xie Linjiang is dressed in soap green official clothes, embroidered with patterns of birds and clouds.At the beginning, the son's words awakened him, so he prepared to show his ambitions, so he followed the arrangement of the family and went north to Jiangzhou to become an official. Because of his reputation for talent and learning, he was appreciated by Jiangzhou prefect Wang Tong as soon as he arrived in Jiangzhou, and he was sent as the deputy of the household. Undertake.

Generally, there are eight chambers under the magistrate.

Office of officials: in charge of checking attendance in the office, squires, Ding You, and Qifu, and doing official affairs in other provinces.

Housekeeping: In charge of account management, tax collection, food relief, famine relief, etc.

Ritual Room: In charge of establishing schools, imperial examinations, enlightenment, envoys, etiquette, sacrifices, festivals, etc.

Military room: In charge of military affairs, civil strength, martial arts examination, public security, etc.

Criminal room: in charge of solving cases, investigating cases, recording court affairs, drafting case files, and managing all matters of criminal and prison affairs.

Workshop: In charge of engineering construction, repairing warehouses, building government offices, etc.

The shop chief's room: Handling postal biography and welcoming and seeing off officials.

Submitting room: all office documents and letters should be registered in this room, and distributed to each room for re-handling.

Among them, household houses and official houses are the closest to the magistrate, and they often have practical affairs, so they are the most promising.

Ordinary officials from all parties are called Dianli, and Jingcheng is the title of the first official. As soon as he came, the magistrate promoted him to be the Deputy Jingcheng of the Household House, which shows his love.

Xie Linjiang was naturally grateful, and this prefect of Jiangzhou was not simple.

Let's talk about Jiangzhou first. Jiangzhou has Ningjiang Mansion, which is one of the most affluent mansions in Jingguo. Only Ansu Mansion, Kaiyuan Mansion and a few places can compare with it.

Kaiyuan Mansion is prosperous and prosperous only because it is the capital, under the foot of the emperor, hundreds of families gather and come and go.Ansu Prefecture is rich because of its rich cloth, brocade and silk.As for Ningjiang Mansion, because it connects the north and the south, it is a strategically important place, with a lot of water transportation, and a lot of salt and iron.

Jiangzhou prefect's background is also well-known. The current Jiangning prefect Wang Tong is the eldest son of Pingzhang Shi Wang Yue under Tong Zhongshu's sect, and the father of Queen Lianshan, the most talented person in Kyoto.

But after getting along with each other, Xie Linjiang also slowly discovered that Mr. Wang Tong seemed to be quite critical of his son.
In Xie Linjiang's heart, the prince is as vast and ethereal as the moon in the sky, which can only make him look up at the mountains. Therefore, when he first came to office, he even talked about the prince with the magistrate, and there were many good words in it. As a result, he had a bad face on the spot.

Mr. Wang Tong was born in a scholarly family, with fame and fame, and he is good at poetry and poetry. He speaks and behaves with a bookish air. He usually doesn't show face to others, but this time he showed this face. Even Xie Linjiang himself was shocked. After that, he stopped mentioning the eldest son in front of him.
