Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 538 Let's Go Fast

The day before the Double Ninth Festival, Shen Zhezi welcomed He Xi who had returned to the capital to take up his post outside the capital.

He Xi returned to the capital this time to serve as a servant. As an absolute official of the servant, the meaning of the servant is different in different eras.If it was an era when the imperial power was exaggerated, the servant, as his confidant, could directly participate in political affairs and take on a part of the responsibilities of Taifu Chancellor.For example, Wen Qiao during the first emperor's time directly participated in politics as a servant, and cooperated with Yu Liang and others to evade the king's guide.

However, in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, due to the drastic changes in the situation and the fact that the young master was in charge of the country, officials changed extremely frequently.So right now, serving as a servant is more like a kind of honor, a threshold, and crossing it means stepping into the ranks of important ministers.

He Xi's father, He Xun, was also listed as the Bailiu of the Yuan Emperor. He not only served as the commander of the Zhongshu Lingzhang, but also served as the Taichang Sili Jiuqing. After his death, he became Sikong.As for He Xi himself, although he did not work in Taicheng for a long time, he also has a prominent resume in the state and county.But if it is said that he directly serves as a servant, it is actually a little bit reluctant.

This is also due to Wang Bin's untimely fight for the internal history of Kuaiji. In order to have an account for the Kuaiji people, Taichung must express its feelings and reason to the Kuaiji people, so the benefits naturally fell on He Xi.After all, the Yu family and the He family in Kuaiji originally had a grudge, and Yu Tan is now a senior official in Taifu, so this arrangement can be regarded as a balance between the two.

Shen Mu followed Shen Zhezi out of the city to greet him, and it was obvious that he had dressed up seriously today, with a glamorous appearance and a neat appearance, even the short beard under his chin was straightened.After all, He Xi is his father-in-law's family, and this time his wife and children are also coming to the capital together.

"Qing Que, when I see your sister-in-law later, remember to say a few words for me..."

Along the way, Shen Mu kept chanting these words. The flirtatiousness he put on in the capital was not small, so it was inevitable that it would spread to the village.Although the wife of his family is also gentle and gentle, but Shen Mu really made a lot of trouble, if there is no resentment, even the status of a big wife in the family will not be secure.

Shen Zhezi just dealt with it casually, but he himself was too lazy to talk to Shen Mu. Up to now, those hundreds of concubines are still being raised in his manor, and it can be considered that he has done his best, so he would not be so stupid as to come together in front of Mrs. Shen Mu to be scolded.

Longdu Wharf outside the capital, not long after Shen Zhezi and the others arrived, He Xi and his party also arrived.Shen Zhezi, Shen Mu, Shen Yun and other brothers boarded the boat to meet He Xi first, and He Xi hurriedly stepped forward to help Shen Zhezi up, with a smile on his face, but he just gave Shen Mu a cold look, pointed to the cabin behind and said: "Your father-in-law and wife are in the cabin, go and greet yourself."

Shen Mu sneered, knowing that he would not be favored by others, because Shen Zhezi was pulled by He Xi, turned his head and grabbed Shen Yun's wrist, and went to the cabin with a gesture of generosity.

Although the boat was tiring all the way, He Xi was full of energy. Standing on the bow of the boat and looking around at the surrounding scenery, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I thought that the newly abandoned land in the capital should be full of depression and dilapidation. What I saw today is thriving and orderly." Orderly. Weizhou, you have attracted people from the countryside to serve the country, and you have wiped out the ruins in Jiangdong, which is a great good for the country and the village!"

The wharf in Longdu is an important distribution center for southern goods outside the capital. In addition to the boats passing through, there are rows of warehouses and mansions on both sides of the waterway. The original tidal flats have been repaired into open flats, and there are Although a large number of brick, tile, wood and stone workshops belong to the outer suburbs of the capital, their prosperity is no less than that of Changqianli and other places in the capital.

This place can also be regarded as a gathering place for Wu people near Jiankang. What you hear is mostly local accents, and what you see is mostly Wu people's industries, and it is even called Xiaoyuhang.Since ZTE, and even since the unification of Wu, it is the first time that Wu Renshang has joined the mainstream of the current situation so enthusiastically and on a large scale.

Shen Zhezi can be said to have contributed to the current situation with all his strength, and he is not lacking in pride when he hears He Xi's emotion. It is true that Wu people are not lacking in narrow and closed places, and they are constantly fighting among themselves, but that is a long-standing habit, and it does not mean that they were born like this , or inferior in nature to others.As long as it can be well guided, the open side and initiative of Wu people can also be stimulated.

The confrontation between the North and the South, or the future Northern Expedition, must be a protracted national war, and no amount of unity can be overstated.If it is because a certain group of people is showing many bad qualities right now, then ignore it or eliminate it, that is fighting spirit, and it is not the attitude you should have in doing things at all.

"The north and the south are co-cast, and the great industry can be completed. If there is a bias, the moon will not be beautiful. Although the people in my hometown do not take the position, they are deeply based on the foundation of economic use. The overseas Chinese are the model. , hope is expected!"

Shen Zhezi walked to He Xi's side, stood side by side, and also said with a smile.

When He Xi heard this, he laughed and said: "No wonder your father always thinks about Lin'er Huxing Jiangbiao when he lives in the village. When it comes to forging ahead, we elders are really inferior to you, a young man." !"

Shen Zhezi didn't talk about his ambition to look north in the past, because it was useless even if he said it, and others would not understand it at all.

For a long time, the northerners' contempt for the southerners is not just a simple regional discrimination, it can even be said to be a kind of political suppression and persecution.The so-called three people become tigers and Zeng Shen kills people. When everyone says that Wu people are not good enough, it becomes a norm. Over time, Wu people themselves will develop a sense of inferiority and lose their aggressiveness.

Shen Zhezi's father, Shen Chong, is a typical example. Even if he is rebellious and rebellious again and again, his greatest pursuit is to separate himself from one side, and he never thought of stealing the rule and pretending to be himself.This process is like boiling an eagle. No matter how unruly the folk customs are, they are domesticated and can only show their power in the countryside.

When it comes to the Northern Expedition, it is not advisable to directly say that the Wu people are not available, and to contempt it morally, without considering the reasons for the Wu people's mentality.And this kind of mentality is not impossible to get rid of. When the Wu people's family has grown to the level of the Shen family, if they want to go further, there is only one way in front of them, and that is the Northern Expedition to make contributions!

So now that Shen Zhezi talks about the Northern Expedition, at least in the political circle surrounding his family, it has become an increasingly clear choice.

After He Xi was overwhelmed with emotion, he said to Shen Zhezi again: "This time when you come to the north, your father has told you before you leave that you have a long way to go in Weizhou, and you should not be bound by bad rules. No matter where you look, the elders of Wuzhong, Things are your strongest backing, and you can move quickly without hesitation!"

Hearing He Xi's retelling of his father's words, Shen Zhezi was also full of thoughts, turned around and bowed deeply in the direction of Wuzhong.

To be honest, Dad's moral quality is not high, but he is a typical Wu family mentality of this era. In any era, he is a typical traitor and traitor.But only the trust and support for Shen Zhezi, that kind of unreserved giving and tolerance, is Shen Zhezi's greatest support in this world!
Shen Chong's support for his son is not empty talk, the infusion of money and food has been continuous without interruption, and He Xi's trip to the north this time has also brought a lot of available talents that Shen Chong has discovered in the southeast in recent years.For example, Kuaiji Wei's cousin Wei Wei, and many young generals who emerged from the Dongyang Army can be described as both civil and military.

He Xi introduced these young and talented people from Wuzhong who accompanied him to Shen Zhezi one by one. Shen Zhezi was also very happy about the arrival of these people.He is now working in Taichung. In addition to increasing his own political cohesion, he is also starting to build a military mobilization system that he controls and is independent of the Taicheng system.

If these young people can be recognized by their father, it means that they are at least trustworthy.And what Shen Zhezi has to do is to gradually place people in the official offices of the palaces and temples according to their respective abilities.Taken separately, they may be just a low-ranking dirty stream, but once strung together, they can become an efficient mobilization organization.

The group stayed by the river for some time, and arranged some of the entourage in the idle manor of the Shen family nearby, while Shen Zhezi accompanied He Xi into the capital.

That kid Shen Mu didn't know what he had talked with his father-in-law and his wife, and after getting off the boat, he was silly, and he drove his family to follow behind Shen Zhezi and the others.

On the other hand, that boy Shen Yun came to report to Shen Zhezi with a mysterious face: "The father-in-law of the He family just complains that the second brother is humble and hot-tempered, so he has too many profligacy..."

Shen Zhezi just smiled when he heard the report, complaining about it, it really is still a family, Shen Mu's father-in-law is asking for an official for his son-in-law.

There is not much to say about this.The reason why the family put Shen Mu on the construction site in the capital for more than half a year was to sharpen his temperament, and at the same time pave the way for his future use.

In fact, Shen Zhezi has already considered Shen Mu's next appointment. For the time being, he will defend Stone City and raise his rank. Let Shen Zhezi occupy a place together in Jiangbei.

In the next few days, Shen Zhezi accompanied He Xi to visit each house in the capital.Although the He family was also prominent in the capital in the early years, but more than ten years have passed since He Xi did not enter the capital, and many relationships have become shallow and shelved, and need to be picked up again.

Not long after the Double Ninth Festival, He Xi officially joined the job.It just so happened that the Empress Dowager in the garden was summoned, so Shen Zhezi simply accompanied He Xi to face the saint.
