Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1063
In the midst of winter, when Xu Zhen was undergoing drastic adjustments in all aspects, an elderly man also set foot on his itinerary.

Originally, Xi Jian planned to stay in Huaiyin for a period of time, and he would leave the town in the spring of next year, leaving a buffer period for Shen Zhezi to take over Xuzhou affairs. With him, an old man who has been in charge of Xu Town for a long time, even if there are any accidents and disputes, There is also room for reconciliation.

However, Shen Zhezi's many actions since he entered the town made Xi Jian realize that he was thinking too much. This young man has enough skills to stabilize the situation in Xuzhou. It's just annoying.

Therefore, although there is still a lot of reluctance in his heart, Xi Jian decided to embark on the journey as soon as possible, first go to Jiangdong to report on his duties and return to his life, and then think about returning home.

When Shen Zhezi learned about Xi Jian's decision, he also put aside all the affairs at hand and came to meet him in person. He was quite surprised and said, "Why did Xi Gong go in such a hurry? Nowadays, Xi Gong still needs to sit and wait for the rectification of many important matters in the town. Abandoning me suddenly, could it be my negligence and disrespect?"

After Xi Jian heard the words, he smiled lazily: "Weizhou, you have a great talent for helping and supporting. The moment you enter the town, it is like a strong wind sweeping into the house to sweep away the turbid air. If I am still stubborn, I will be stupid and tiresome. There is no shortage of old people in Xu Town. I, the only way I can move forward is to be as simple as possible. The only thing I, an old man, can do now is not to be annoying."

Shen Zhezi heard a little resentment in Xi Jian's words, which is normal.In the short time since he entered the town, he attacked one after another, which can be said to have directly smashed the old order and system of Xuzhou. Xi Jian, the original governor of Xuzhou, saw it in his eyes. It is also human nature.

However, Shen Zhezi was a little surprised that Xi Jian could give up everything in Xu Zhen so simply, so he said sincerely: "Since Xi Gong has made up his mind, I will not keep him anymore. I just ask Xi Gong to stay for a few more days." , when the Huaibei army enters the town for a little more armament, I will lead the people to escort Xigong south. If Xigong wants to go north again in the future, whether he returns to his hometown or returns to the town to pick up the old, please send a message so that I can It's all about the welcome and send-off ceremony."

Xi Jian nodded after hearing the words, and did not object to Shen Zhezi's proposal.Although Shen Zhezi is now the well-deserved No.1 in Jiangbei, Xi Jian also feels that he is worthy of being escorted.

Xuzhou was able to come under his control so quickly, in addition to Shen Zhezi's excellent response to the unexpected, Xi Jian's magnanimous letting go and cooperation were also indispensable.In particular, Xi Jian hardly put forward any request to retain his influence in Xu Town, which is also an important reason why Shen Zhezi's many reforms can be rolled out smoothly.

If Xi Jian really made things difficult on purpose, or if he wanted to keep his influence for a while, it would be enough to cause Shen Zhezi a headache.Leaving aside, Yu Yi from Jingzhou alone has not been able to completely get rid of Tao Kan's residual influence even though he has been in power for several years.

Although there is no hidden danger of chaos in Xuzhou right now, changes that go deep into the countryside are always chaotic, and an organized armed force is needed to sit in the city.So as early as when Shen Zhezi set off, he ordered Cao Na and Xu Mao, who themselves came from Xuzhou, to lead five thousand soldiers to the south.

After more than ten days, this army finally arrived in Huaiyin and stationed in the counties and counties in batches. It was not until this moment that Shen Zhezi officially abolished a large number of county soldiers, and the establishment of the military mansion also started at the same time.The first batch of three military mansions were arranged in Huaiyin, Xuyi and Guangling respectively.

At the same time, Shen Zhezi personally led two thousand guards to escort Xi Jian and his party to the south.

This time Xi Jian left the town, the team size is not small, there are thousands of people in the Putong trilogy alone.This can also be regarded as a kind of open-minded performance. He didn't even keep some of the land and other businesses he had managed during his tenure, and all of them were clearly delivered.

In the current atmosphere, it is really difficult to completely separate the public from the private.For Xi Jian's open-minded letting go, Shen Zhezi also gave generous compensation in terms of self-interest.

For example, two of the several islands operated by sea routes at the estuary of the Dajiang River were directly assigned to the Xi family. Children will be able to spend many lives.

In addition, Shen Zhezi compensated almost one-to-one compensation for the properties handed over by Xijian to the Governor's Mansion with Shen's various industries in Kuaiji. Reduce holdings.

The acquisition of Xu Zhen means that he is one step closer to his goal of being in charge of the inside and outside, so in the future, he will definitely carry out more profound changes. The many industries owned by the Shen family will no longer be a help in a certain period of time in the future, but a kind of help. resistance.

Shen Zhezi didn't think that he was much better than the people of his time, but he was better because he had a long-term vision and planned ahead.If the North and the South are to be unified in the future, if they want to disintegrate the extremely deep north-south division trend, the big local tyrants in Jiangdong are definitely a group that needs to be suppressed.Such political considerations and needs cannot be ignored just because he was born in Jiangdong.

So from now on, he will gradually transform his family's many industrial layouts in Jiangdong into public assets and institutionalize them, and those that cannot be transformed will be discarded as soon as possible.

What makes people strong will also counteract them. If they can't be broken, they can't be built. If he always clings to the existing stock, it will be impossible to complete the transformation of a family into a country in the true sense.

In short, this time, Xi Jian cooperated with Shen Zhezi to successfully control Xuzhou, at least to exchange for enough capital for his family, and it was done in a rather gloomy and decent way. Evidence of private sale.

Although in fact, there is indeed such a meaning.It is true that this kind of flexibility is morally untenable, but morality has never been what Shen Zhezi pursues, and the immaculate moral integrity cannot stop the Wuhu from destroying the land of Shenzhou sequentially.

Xi Jian's family members were divided into two groups. One group followed Xi Jian to the south and returned to the capital, and the other group led by his nephew to the north to Gaoping's hometown. The former residence was about to be repaired in preparation for returning home.

In the southbound team, apart from Xi Jian and his family, there were also some former Xuzhou officials.These people either have their own flaws and cannot adapt to the structural order of the Dudu Mansion, or they are simply dissatisfied with Shen Zhezi's various propositions and have different ideas.

Regarding the departure of these people, Shen Zhezi also let it go, and even issued letters of recommendation to each of them to help them find a place to stand in Jiangdong.

In addition to these people, some villagers spontaneously sent Xi Jian, the old chief, along the way, and even some Guangling villagers braved the wind and snow and traveled hundreds of miles to meet him after hearing the news. .

Xi Jian himself did not have much achievements in the military. He was able to sit in Xuzhou for a long time because of his lofty popularity and the comfort of Huairou.

Shen Zhezi escorted Xi Jian along the way, and it was common to see men, women, old and young in rural areas of Xuzhou supporting each other. This phenomenon reached a peak near Guangling. And weeping on the way.

Every time he saw this scene, Shen Zhezi didn't feel much, but he was a little dumbfounded.It is true that Xi Jian has a high reputation in Xuzhou, but it would be an exaggeration to say that the villagers were disappointed and heartbroken because of his resignation.After all, as the governor of Xuzhou, Xi Jian didn't have much time to help those villagers carry water and firewood, benefiting all the people.

Therefore, the people of Guangling Township put on such a posture, to some extent, they are actually putting eye drops on Shen Zhezi's successor, a kind of ridicule and persuasion in disguise, hoping that Shen Zhezi can retain Xijian's policies when he was in office to a certain extent .

But this kind of winking is really for the blind. For the various reforms in Xuzhou, Shen Zhezi can be said to have started many ideas since he came to this world. Something has changed.

Traveling all the way south, when we arrived at Guangling, it was already the twelfth lunar month.The welcome of Xi Jian by the people of Guangling Township is no less than the treatment Shen Zhezi received when he returned to the capital.

However, this journey has been extremely delayed. If Xi Jian stayed in Guangling again, he might not be able to return to Jiankang years ago.So he just had a brief meeting with the villagers outside Guangling City, and then hurried on the road.

When Shen Zhezi arrived at this step, he also stopped, and handed over Xijian's guarding duties to the welcome personnel sent by Liu Chao from the capital who had been waiting here for a long time.

When he was parting outside Guangling City, he saw the bustling crowd in the countryside and the Huainan soldiers who lined up to enter Guangling City. Xi Jian suddenly realized that Shen Weizhou, a cunning boy, followed him all the way. To cover up, he sent his soldiers to Guangling to sit in town!

You must know that Guangling is different from Huaiyin and Xuyi, which were later regained along the Huaihe River. Yongjia was the foothold of Nandu overseas Chinese from the beginning. Over the past few decades, the nostalgia here has become intertwined and complicated to the extreme.Even Xi Jian later moved to Yanhuai for this reason. Because it was difficult to deal with, he simply avoided it.

No matter how aggressive Shen Weizhou's methods are, he is still powerless to completely dismantle the rural order around Guangling.If troops were sent directly to Guangling, it would be more likely to intensify the contradictions and lead to civil unrest, but if there was no military oppression but only relying on government orders to urge, it would be difficult to disintegrate the natural order of Guangling.

Now, by giving himself a cover-up, he directly drove two thousand Huainan elite soldiers into Guangling City. It is conceivable that if those township clans still forcefully obstruct the implementation of the decree, they will definitely be brutally suppressed!

Xi Jian originally had some feelings for Shen Zhezi who personally sent Baili away, but after he figured this out, the little affection he still had for this boy suddenly disappeared.

This young man's use of opportunities has reached the extreme. It is really disgusting to try to squeeze out the last bit of his role!
