Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 675
This winter, the atmosphere in the capital can be described as lively for a long time.

For Xiaomin, although there were minor floods in the first half of the year, many people suffered in Yixing, Xuancheng and other places, and it also affected the south of Danyang, but due to the timely dispatch of relief, it did not become a disaster.

Although the towns in the north of the Yangtze River are frequently busy, they haven't imposed too many local taxes, which can be called a benevolent government.Overall, it was a good year.Even if a small family does not owe their mothers, they can get a lot from their work and weaving, so their livelihood is not a problem.

In addition to the livelihood, there are frequent reports of Jiangbei's success. Although the people may not have any specific concepts about it, there are many praises. The Hulu swords hanging above their heads were driven away. The vastness of a township and a county is far beyond their imagination!

Among them, the most praised one is naturally the son-in-law Shenhou, who has been out of the capital for half a year, has made many meritorious deeds, refused to be slaved in the Huaihe River, and lost many lands.

In this cold winter, Shen Zhezi's reputation has also climbed to a new high.Because this son-in-law is by no means just a symbol of aloofness and inaccessibility to the people in the capital, but has profoundly affected the life circumstances and situations of these people.One room, one room, one drink and one food, there are many benefits to show.

What Marquis Shen brought to the people was not only the improvement of food, clothing and daily life, but also gave them the good expectations of life after a long absence.If you live inside, you will stabilize the people and govern the land, and if you live outside, you will destroy the captives and restore the frontier.

Naturally, the people were not stingy with kind words for this young duke, and there were praises in the market and in the door.The "Song of Marquis of Shen Breaking the Battle", which was introduced to the capital not long ago, is simple in words, strong in style, and generous in momentum. It has become a song that young and strong people in the capital are happy to sing, and they are so emotional that they wish they could bring their own bows Sword, kill slaves side by side with Shen Hou!
And with Shenhou Zhuanggong in front of him, even though Jingzhou's recovery of Xiangyang and Xuzhou's defeat of Huaixia Xuyi were great victories of great significance, they were far less eye-catching and widely praised among the people than Shenhou's recovery of Shouchun. .

The ordinary people are happy and partial, so they can naturally express their preferences without any scruples, but of course Taichung cannot be biased. For the teams from the three towns that have entered the capital, they are all treated equally and rewarded with special gifts.Of course, the main thing is special gifts. It is really a lack of resources in Taiwan this winter, and there is nothing to reward at all. If not for calling on all the families in the capital to donate rice and grain, even the normal operation of Taicheng City will not continue.

After the construction of Taiyuan was completed, the area of ​​Tiangongyuan centered on Taiji Hall doubled, and there were many palaces.The emperor regards frugality as a virtue, and many other gardens outside the Taiyuan Garden are no longer private to the palace, and are transferred to various temple offices for other purposes.

For example, the Jianping Garden in the early years was transferred under Guanglu, and was used as some rituals for guests and praises. The emperor and empress dowagers often feasted on their internal and external ministers, wives, village elders and famous scholars.The original Tongyuan was also expanded to accommodate internal and external visitors and envoys from states, towns, counties, and states.

As a result, the victory teams from all states were naturally arranged in Tongyuan, which also made the atmosphere in Tongyuan a little strange recently.Although Taiwan treats these envoys as one and the same arrangement, there are still slight differences in practice.For example, envoys in Yuzhou are treated better than those in other towns. Although they live in the east, their food and clothing costs, including etiquette, are different.

People who understand this don't think there is anything unusual about it. On the one hand, it is naturally because the young mansion in terms of material utilization and support is now in charge of the Shen family. Even if the chief official does not show partiality, the subordinate officials will naturally cater to it.What's more, the supervisors who are in charge here are originally students of the Shen family, so naturally they have to take care of their own family members and treat them preferentially.

On the other hand, it was also because of the different origins of the envoys from several towns.How long has Jingzhou served as a veteran general in the army, Xuzhou is mostly a local military leader, and Yuzhou envoys are mostly descendants of northern and southern aristocratic families. They are neither picky about expenses nor lack of flattery. opened.

Sima Xun, as Jingzhou's envoy, is now also arranged in Tongyuan, waiting for Taifu to receive him and participate in the New Year celebration.

Since entering the capital, Sima Xun has been very excited.Originally, he thought that the society would be peaceful in the wasteland east of the river, coupled with years of civil turmoil, but it was barely maintained.Coupled with the influence of Tao Bin's words along the way, he didn't think Jiankang would be a prosperous city.

However, what he saw after entering the capital, the prosperity of Gyeonggi far exceeded his imagination.This kind of prosperity is not just about more people and more goods as Tao Bin said, but also the disparity in all aspects from the inside to the outside.Don't say that Guanzhong, which is now living side by side and almost wasteland, is far behind even Wuchang and other big cities in Jingzhou.

In this bustling place, Sima Xun's mood and thoughts gradually changed.At first, he just wanted to fish in troubled waters to find a background, and then he turned to the border town to attract powerful people, expand his trilogy, and make his own career.However, now they gradually have the idea of ​​establishing a foothold in Jiangdong and standing out in the capital.

He also knows that he has no relatives and friends to rely on in Jiangdong, so he can't help deliberating on one-sided remarks, and he needs effective assistance to achieve his goal.So when facing Tao Bin, his attitude became more earnest. This was the only relationship he could rely on in the capital.

The day before, Tao Bin sent someone to tell him that he was going to introduce several important people in the capital, Sima Xun was so excited that he could hardly sleep.Before dawn, he got up and took care of his grooming.

Although he grew up in the Hu Department of Guanzhong, he was surrounded by servants who were familiar with etiquette in Chang'an Palace. If he pays attention to restraint, he will have a good manner in his conversation and appearance, and there is not much vulgarity. This is where his confidence lies. one.

But until morning, there was still no movement from Tao Bin, Sima Xun couldn't hold back, so he sent someone to inquire, and then found out that Tao Bin was not only not going to leave the house, but was leading his family to fight fiercely in the garden brave.

Upon learning of this, Sima Xun couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and hastily put on his soft armor again, and led a few of his cronies away in a hurry.

At this time, in a garden in Tongyuan, dozens of people were divided into two sides to confront each other, and the yelling and cursing of the dogs, the soldiers, and the raccoon slaves were endless.Most of these people are soldiers of the army, all of them are full of spirit, their voices are loud, and they look fierce and fierce. Even some servants and waiters in Tongyuan were scared and avoided far away, fearing that the fish in the pond would be harmed by the chaos.

When Sima Xun approached, he entered his own camp, and immediately saw Tao Bin stepping on the small case, his chest was naked in the cold weather, his face was red, his neck was thick, and he was pointing at the opposite person and yelling.

"Come to me soon, Chief Wei. These Yuzhou villains are really disgusting. If you don't teach them a lesson today, they will say that I have no one in Jingzhou!"

Tao Bin looked back and saw Sima Xun approaching, he was overjoyed and beckoned for him to go over, and at the same time, he still pointed at the other party and cursed at the others.

Seeing this scene, Sima Xun was already filled with helplessness. Similar situations have happened frequently recently. This Tao Bin has a violent temper, and he has already had a rather vicious reputation in the Tongyuan, and he frequently had disputes with others.

Although he was too impatient, Sima Xun still had to bite the bullet and walk over. He heard Tao Bin's scolding and found out that it was because Tao Bin told the supervisors in Yuanzhong to prepare a car for a trip. The cars and drivers were all taken away by those people in Yuzhou, and they were going to play in the eastern suburbs, so Tao Bin rushed to the military camp in Yuzhou and started arguing and engaged in a fight.

"I'm not an aggressive person. Before I left, my parents also told me to be more patient after entering the capital. In the past, I didn't mention the quality of the food supply. Today, I have someone prepare a car for you. It's for your big business. How can you tolerate these shifts?" The swordsman made a mistake!"

Ban Jianzu is a derogatory name given to the Yuzhou Army by others, which means to act as a guard of honor. In addition, these Yuzhou Army commanders have many descendants from aristocratic families, and there are many people with nobles. Boring and jealous.

Although Tao Bin is reckless and irritable, he is not stupid. He has long harbored secret resentment against the Yuzhou Army, but Jiankang is not his home field so he has been holding back.In the past few days, I have been working on Sima Xun's affairs, and finally a Taifu family expressed interest in Sima Xun and was willing to meet him.

Seeing that the success is imminent, he did not expect that all the vehicles in Tongyuan were taken by the Yuzhou Army. It was a trivial matter at first, but it caused Tao Bin to be dissatisfied. He wanted to seize this opportunity and teach the Yuzhou Army a lesson.

Sima Xun couldn't calm down when he heard that the dispute was related to him.He grew up in the turbulent area of ​​Guanzhong, he was not a person of good nature, so he immediately said: "Brother was humiliated because of my family affairs, how can I be a bystander! Today let these squadrons know that my Jingzhou army should not be insulted!"

Tao Bin also laughed when he heard the words. If he was alone, he wouldn't dare to provoke those dude soldiers in Yuzhou, but now he has Sima Xun, a future relative of the clan, and he has nothing to fear. The family soldiers rushed forward.The Yuzhou Army had a large number of people traveling today, and the number was not dominant, so they soon lost the upper hand in the chaos.

Sima Xun was not lacking in ruthless barbarians. After learning that his family background had turned around thanks to Tao Bin's efforts, he naturally worked harder to cater to Tao Bin.He is also very brave. After this brawl, there were seven or eight Yuzhou soldiers who were overthrown by him alone, and one of them even had his arm discounted by him!

The chaotic fight lasted for more than half an hour, before Tao Bin finally stopped, and this time he gained the upper hand, which can be described as fun.Of course, he also understands that the Yuzhou Army has a strong background, and this time it will not be good. He also ordered some people in charge of the garden to be escorted to force them to testify. He is not afraid of any disputes.

What's more, he is not without support now, with a nobleman like Sima Xun by his side, he is not afraid of those dudes from the Yuzhou Army coming to trouble him.

So of these two people, one of them thinks that he has finally found a backer, which can keep him on the rise and have a bright future, so he doesn't have to swallow his anger and make compromises like before.One thinks that the other party has amazing connections, and can lead him directly to the court of the prince, and assume the status of the clan, and in the future, he can stand in Jiangdong for a long time and be bestowed with the title of king!

After a brawl, the two only felt that they were more congenial, and didn't take this matter to heart at all, especially when they saw the steward of Tongyuan tremblingly sending a car for travel, they felt more complacent and went out laughing together .

　There will be one more later. . .The end of the year is approaching, and there are a lot of chores. I have to say sorry to everyone and try to keep updating. . .
