Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 410 Duzi
Xiling is located on the bank of Zhejiang Province. In ancient times, it was the front line of the confrontation between Wu and Yue. It has declined for a long time in history. Due to the lack of development in ancient Yue, it is far less busy than Yuhang, which is across the river.In recent years, due to the rise of commerce and trade in Wuzhong, this small county has once again glowed with vitality.

Strictly speaking, Xiling can be regarded as the first stop of Shen Zhezi's entry into the WTO. It was from this place that he went south to meet Yu Yi, which triggered a series of events later, freeing his family from the fate of rebellion and liquidation.

This time I came here with my father and visited the old place again, but the scenery of this hometown is already different from the past.Even without mentioning the changes in the planning structure, there is already a big difference in the rule of man alone.

In the early years, Xiling County was located at the junction of the two counties and on the bank of Zhejiang Province, but it was just a small mountain city with a narrow administrative area.Shen Zhezi had already forgotten the name of the county magistrate he met here back then.

Now the county magistrate has changed, Shen Zhezi has an uncle named Wei Sheng.In addition, there is also a Dongyang army stationed, and the commander and guardian is Shen Mu's brother-in-law He Chang.And near Xiling is Shining, which is mainly developed by the Shen family.In addition to Wukang, the hometown of the Shen family in the north, the entire Yuhang Zhou City is surrounded by this and becomes a core.

There are many mechanisms for the formation and operation of business alliances, and the convenient waterway transportation in Wuzhong is of course an indispensable part.Yuhangzhou City is a center of the water network transportation, and the tax package law implemented in the early years has now become the norm for all parties to benefit from it. This deprives the imperial court of its ability to restrain the operation of the business alliance to a certain extent.

The Shen family's overall siege of Yuhang Zhou City based on geographical location is also one of the important reasons why his family can dominate the operation of the business alliance.

For Shen Zhezi, the business alliance is not only a pure collection of interests to unite the villagers, but even a deduction and attempt of his planning for the future situation. The direct funding of the military system of the army is a method that he will need to use frequently in the future.

The meeting place was arranged in a vast manor in the north of Xiling County. This manor was originally the private property of several families in the county. Later, it was replaced with the county government for the salt fields, and now it has become the property of Dongyang Prefecture.Although Shen Zhezi knew that his father had a deep foundation in East Yangzhou, but when the time for the banquet arrived, he found that what his father did was even better than he imagined!

From early in the morning, visitors arrived in the manor one after another, and as time went by, more and more guests arrived.By evening, more than a thousand guests from various families in Wuzhong had arrived one after another!

Shen Zhezi followed his father to receive these visiting guests, the muscles on his face almost stiffened from laughing, but he couldn't help but have some malicious thoughts in his heart.If all the people in this manor are mobilized right now, the whole Wuzhong will be shaken and collapsed in an instant!

Sensing his son's surprised expression, Shen Chong couldn't help laughing heartily.Although he is not a hero, he also has a lot of courage in his heart, and he is not willing to be unknown.It is true that he has a good son who is born in blue, but he is also full of ambitions.

In the past few years in Kuaiji, his deeds in the county are hard to describe.Balance and sort out the power of the local big clans, use the rectification of the salt industry to pry open those hidden manpower and material resources, and vigorously sweep up the barbarians in the environment.Without his deep control over Kuaiji, Shen Zhezi's operation of Kuaiji sub-state in Jingkou would not have been so smooth and successful.

It’s just that these things are trivial and trivial, and there are no overly vigorous deeds. As his son’s reputation in the current situation has risen, Shen Chong is also quite pleased. The psychological advantage of the son.

This time when he returned to the town, various families flocked to support him, which also showed that in the past few years, he was not just doing nothing because of the situation created by his son.

Not to mention Shen Chong's little thought of competing with his son, Xie Yi and other former Zhaowu troops who came with Shen Zhezi were already dumbfounded after seeing such a scene.

They themselves are not very familiar with the style of Wuzhong, and they don't know what kind of amazing collection of resources can be implicated behind these visitors.Just looking at the appearance and demeanor of these people, each of them is either rich or noble, and they gathered here just because the Shen family held a banquet. The appeal of this in the countryside is really amazing!
"This is the so-called Jiang Donghao..."

For a moment, everyone couldn't help thinking of the name of the Shen family in their early years. With the current actual scene against it, they had a deeper understanding of the deep meaning represented by this name!
What is the most important thing for a big clan to maintain nowadays?To put it bluntly, it is popular!What is popularity?Is there anyone willing to contact you, is there anyone willing to trust you!

There is no communication between the north and the south, and there are different streams of scholars and common people. These bad habits that have been accumulating for a long time in the current situation, if some people can get through, then they are definitely well-deserved masters in the current situation.Because only they can gain the widest popularity recognition!There is only one Langya Wang family for such a family at the moment!
Of course, it is also possible for the Yu family to reach this level. If Yu Liang can deal with Liyang's fierce army smoothly, but now the opportunity has been missed. Yu Liang is almost the apex that the Yu family can reach in the current situation, and it is impossible to surpass it in the future. .

As the children of overseas Chinese, Xie Yi and others naturally inherited the long-standing contempt for Wu people from their elders. The reason why they are able to come here today is because of their personal belief in Shen Zhezi.But when they saw with their own eyes the high hopes the Shen family had accumulated in the countryside, they couldn't help being silently afraid.

Other young people may still be in awe and amazement, but Xie Yi's mood is much more excited.That day he offended the Wang family by accident, in fact, he has been feeling uneasy recently, even regretful.One of his mistakes may affect the long-term efforts of his parents, and even make the future of his entire family dark.

Two days ago the son-in-law met him alone and said that he was willing to recommend his father Xie Po as the prefect of Wu Xing.Xie Yi was grateful for this, but he didn't think it would be possible.In his view, apart from the son-in-law, including the son-in-law's father, Shen Shijun, the Shen family actually does not have the energy to maneuver in the current situation.

Xie Yi has gradually understood the significance of Wu Xing's prefect at the moment through his tour in Wukang and the surrounding counties and towns.This is a piece of fertile and fertile soil, if the father can take up the post, the benefits to his family will be immeasurable.

But precisely because this area is so important, how could the imperial court allow a family from Wu to choose it?Can Xi Jian decide the ownership of Jingkou?Can Tao Kan decide the ownership of Li Yang?Now Wu Xing is no less important to the current situation than these two places!
Therefore, although Xie Yi was grateful for the idea of ​​the son-in-law's willingness to help and support, he didn't think it could be done, so he didn't send a letter to inform his father at all, lest he exerted the wrong force and made the situation even more embarrassing in the current situation.

But at this time, seeing Shen's family's great expectations, Xie Yi couldn't help but gradually moved.If this can be done, then not only is he not guilty of the mistakes he made earlier, but he has merit at home!As for the Shen family's southern family, what's the matter?
Nowadays, the rural parties hold together, just because it is not easy to live here. Relatively speaking, it is better for the villagers to help each other and gain a foothold here.But if there is a better help, why bother to obsess over the handicapped?What kind of hometown counties are not all nested in this corner of Jiangdong right now!
Besides, Xie Yi was also deeply touched by the greatness of the son-in-law.Taking advantage of Liyang's traitors to build a world-shattering feat, and funding Du Daohui, a newcomer from overseas, to open up the situation in the north, such a person will naturally not have any divide between the north and the south in his heart.This is also one of the reasons why Xie Yi admires Shen Zhezi.

There were many thoughts in his mind, Xie Yi formed an idea, and he was going to write a letter to his father to talk about it later, and go home to persuade him if necessary, he didn't want his family to miss this opportunity!

Because there were too many guests, the hall prepared earlier was no longer usable, so it was simply moved to the courtyard.

It was already quite cold in autumn, and Shen Zhezi was wearing a short fur and standing behind his father. In the center of the banquet were all the officials at all levels in East Yangzhou.After Dongyang Lizhou, Shen Chong's authority and jurisdiction have been greatly expanded, and the number of officials alone has more than tripled!Today's East Yangzhou has seven counties under its jurisdiction, plus a group of generals from Zhendong Mansion joining the army, there are hundreds of people present alone!

With so many subordinate officials, almost all of them are from Wu, except for the Lin family of Jin'an who was traveling to the south!
This is naturally not a normal situation, but because the current situation is uncertain, the central government does not dare to divide the power of Fang Zhen too much. This situation can be maintained for the time being, but it will certainly not last long. In the future, many overseas Chinese will inevitably come to East Yangzhou.

There is a natural conflict between Fang Zhen and the central center. When Shen Zhezi was still in the capital a few days ago, Tao Kan borrowed the fact that Shen Zhezi was forced by soldiers outside the Jingzhou military camp, and almost wiped out all the people who were placed by the imperial court in his army. Even Yin Hao's father, Yin Xian.

Of course, this kind of arrangement is not all bad. Whether the result is good or bad depends on the governor's control over the place.If it is too simple to be emptied, then there is no need for this governor to do it.

If the governor is strong enough, then he can reach a tacit agreement with the center similar to "Duizi".If the center wants Fang Zhen to use the officials it dispatches, it must prepare a sufficient position in Taichung for exchange.

The weakness of Tao Kan, a poor family governor, is that he doesn't have enough contacts to maintain Duizi, so he belongs to the oppressed party in the communication with the center, and his power is weakened by the people from the center. Center to manifest his will.Therefore, we can only take advantage of the general situation and take the drastic method of repatriating all of them, which is similar to bloodletting and detoxification.

But the Shen family undoubtedly belonged to the stronger side in this exchange of sons.The weakness of his family lies in the weakness of the center, and through Duizi, he can gradually build up his family's momentum in Taicheng.Looking back at the center, there are actually no good candidates to dismantle the network that the Shen family built in the countryside.

But even if it is made clear that the Shen family will take advantage of it, this exchange has to be done, otherwise the imperial court will hardly show its will in East Yangzhou!

Once a prominent local family like the Shen family becomes a real powerful town, the result will be disastrous for those duckweed overseas Chinese.Unless they have the courage to attract refugees and commanders across the river to clean up the local forces in Wuzhong, but that is undoubtedly another kind of drinking poison to quench thirst!
　Although the Eastern Jin Dynasty was unbearable, it did not die from foreign aggression. Two more important factors were the Tianshi Dao uprising and the growth of the Beifu Army during the counter-insurgency process.Earlier, some book friends said that Huan Wen's or Liu Yu's route was actually incomplete.Huan Wen is not posturing, but lacks support from the middle and lower levels.Liu Yu's historical opportunity is that Wuzhong's ruling foundation has been disabled, and Gaomen is very happy to play by himself.Therefore, the thinking in the middle and early stages has always been to deeply root in Wuzhong, and then operate Jiangbei, forming a squeeze on the center. . .
