Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 981 Behemoth
Shen Zhezi made his first public appearance at the meeting after returning to the town. After many days of intensive preparations in the Dudu Mansion, the exact news was finally released.Except for those from the Northern and Southern Dynasties who were invited by the Governor's Mansion, those who were not included in the invitation also sought their own ways to seek a qualification to attend.

Because the people who wanted to join were so enthusiastic that the original scheduled date was postponed for two days, and the location was changed again and again, from the original Dudu Mansion to the Xinshi Pavilion, and finally decided directly in Hachiko outside the city. At the foot of the mountain is a garrison that can accommodate two to three thousand people.

On this day, most of the troops around Shouchun City gathered near Bagong Mountain to maintain order, and Shen Zhezi also left Bieye at dawn and went to the Dudu Mansion to prepare, and Huainan King naturally went with him.

From Dudu's Mansion to Bagong Mountain, there are crowds of people along the way, and the scene is grand.Although King Huainan had a high status, such a grand occasion was rarely seen in Jiangdong.

This time the gathering was not a formal occasion either, Shen Zhezi usually dressed in a horse, and the King of Huainan followed suit, he did not make a special trip to lay down his ceremonial horse, and went into battle lightly.

But this does not mean that he has lost his prestige, because Shen Zhezi led the guards and walked half a horse behind Huainan King, which can be said to completely highlight Huainan King.

Everywhere along the way, thousands of people danced and cheered. The King of Huainan inevitably had a young heart, and his face was flushed with excitement. Such a grand scene was laid at the center of him. The excitement is really hard to express.And the grievances accumulated along the way disappeared with the enthusiastic cheers around.

"Today I know that I am the king's honor..."

While King Huainan was excited, he also had a little haze in his heart. A little bit of resentment was because Zhuge Teng and others refused to accompany him, which really caught him off guard.

As a result, Huainan King has a deeper feeling for human rights and wrongs. Although his brother-in-law Shen Weizhou treats him lukewarm and seldom respectful most of the time, he is absolutely unambiguous and trustworthy on real occasions, and will never let him down. tower.

However, Zhuge Cong and the others seemed to be respectful, but when they really needed it, they played with their temper and put down their picks.They had a lot of complaints about being left out in the cold ahead, but they failed to help King Huainan maintain his prestige.Now Huainan finally put on a grand scene, but they were so excited that they let themselves go to the meeting alone.

Shen Zhezi also noticed the change in King Huainan's expression along the way, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The political situation in Jiangdong has been able to maintain stability in the past few years, but the price is that the political sense of those second generations has plummeted, which is too overestimated. Instead, they underestimate the source of their respective powers.If a few of them can make things happen, then why should Huainan King swagger northward.

How could Zhuge Cong and the others do some small tricks under his nose, how could they hide Shen Zhezi.Even if he was too lazy to respond, he could still play around with those people with his random moves, and he led them away one after another.Of course, if he knew that Zhuge Sui and the others had already decided not to attend, he would understand that he still held them in high regard.

However, the attitude of these people eager to get in touch with the Huainan people also let Shen Zhezi understand Taichung's intentions.The goal of Taichung should be to push his influence over the Huai River, just like taking over Liang County a few years ago, and Huainan King is a cover for them to take over Huainan.

It is normal to have such thoughts in Taichung. The ownership of Xuzhou has not yet been determined, while Xi Jian and Shen Zhezi have become more and more close. The Langya Wang family is even bigger.

More importantly, Taichung could not even find a force that could check and balance Shen Zhezi.Now Wuhui is integrated, Xuzhou Army and Huainan Army have also jointly attacked and made great achievements, and Yu Yi from Jingzhou was able to enter the town only with the support of the Shen family.

Jiangzhou, the only city with some hope, suffered a great loss in military strength during the siege of Fangzhen in the early years.And whether Jiangzhou is willing to fully support Taichung is still doubtful.As for Jiaoguang in the south, there is no need to mention it.

Perhaps from Taichung's point of view, handing over the entire Yuzhou, including Heluo, Xubei, and Qingyan, to Shen Zhezi is already a huge concession.But Shen Zhezi naturally couldn't accept this result. At least before the Central Plains got on the right track, Huainan was still his foundation, and he needed a steady stream of blood supply to the north of the Huaihe River.

Moreover, he had no reason to make concessions at all. The purpose of giving up Liang County before was to avoid intensifying conflicts and affecting the management of the six counties in Huainan and the later Northern Expedition.Now that Huainan is being given up, is it because we are worried that the Taiwan assistants will be restless and die soon?If it really scares these people to death, it will save Shen Zhezi's energy.

As for the status of King Huainan, it belongs to everyone. Who can use it better depends on their own abilities.In fact, no one is a relative.

Amid the noise all the way, Shen Zhezi and his party finally arrived at the foot of Bagong Mountain.The area around here has been cleared, but there is no such a crowd of people along the way, but nearly a thousand participants lined up outside the fort to welcome them, and the scene is also great.

After King Huainan got off his horse, his footsteps were somewhat vain, and the shock in his heart had not disappeared.Shen Zhezi took a step forward and pulled Huainan King to walk forward, and Huainan King's mood regained a little calm.

He is indeed a respectful and courteous young man. He is grateful for the grand scene created by his brother-in-law, so he does not force himself in front of him, and the parallel scenes appear very kind.

Yu Tiao and other Huainan officials who were in charge of organizing the gathering came forward to greet the ceremony first, followed by some important guests.Then the huge welcome team parted to make way for them, and after some courtesy and greetings, the group slowly entered the fortress.

The meeting place in the Fort has already been prepared, and all the barracks are connected by bamboo buildings, accommodating thousands of people including the servants of various families.

Shen Zhezi and King Huainan were divided into more than [-] seats in the main venue, and because of the interconnected layout, there was no distinction between distance and distance.On the way to the table, Shen Zhezi also briefly explained the purpose of this gathering to the king of Huainan. Although Huaibei is advancing extensively, it is also in a hurry. The gathering of north and south Shiliu is precisely to raise funds for the army of the king and the people of the Central Plains.

When the King of Huainan heard this, he was a little nervous in his excited mood, and he felt a little guilty about whether he could do his best in such an important matter.

"Being in this position is naturally the hope of everyone. The king is the blood of Suzu, and his majesty's brother. He can handle everything with equanimity, and no one can take it lightly."

Shen Zhezi pulled King Huainan into the banquet, and comforted him with a smile: "Pearls are buried in mussels, but they dance with fish and shrimp. But if they are decorated in crowns, they will shine in this world. I didn't know before that I could travel to the Central Plains, I have been defeated by bandits and captives in succession, but luckily the king has not given up, so I can't sit idle and appreciate myself."

When King Huainan heard this, he was very encouraged for a while, and said solemnly: "I don't dare to say my best, but if I can witness with my own eyes that the people of Shiliu can help the king with their strength, this trip to the north will be worthwhile. "

During the conversation, all the people had already taken their seats.Although this gathering was mainly focused on people from Jiangzhou, there were also many other parties. Although nearly half of them were just for fun, they also more or less learned some inside information.

The township families who often deal with the Huainan Dudufu are no strangers to this semi-official gathering, which has been held frequently in recent years.Even the first-time participants have heard a lot about it.

After some false speeches at the beginning of the meeting, the head of the Dudu's Mansion took the stage to talk about some affairs of the Dudu's Mansion that are difficult for the common people to come into contact with.This is more similar to the government work report, which is to give a little insight into some recent achievements of the Dudu Mansion.Of course, it is impossible to be too detailed, and the content involved is mostly related to business.

This time, because several large-scale battles were involved, the content announced was a bit too much.It is naturally impossible to announce the secrets of military aircraft such as the real dispatch of soldiers, food and grass, but there is no need to conceal the huge achievements of the war.

It was the first time for everyone present to understand in such detail the fruitful results achieved by Master Wang this year, successively taking over several states, directly breaking through Shi Zhao's lair, and recovering the entire Heluo territory!
The report was interrupted several times by applause and applause. Although these people participated in the rally with their own minds, but hearing Master Wang's magnificent and extraordinary achievements, the pride and excitement also arise spontaneously, which cannot be taken lightly. Shenzhou Lu Chen, The tragedy of the common people seems to have come to an end at this point, and the next step is to sweep the four sides and completely wipe out the remnants of the barbarians.

The atmosphere in the venue was soaring, and it was hard to calm down for a long time.The king of Huainan was also affected by this, and he frequently looked at his brother-in-law sitting nearby, and because of this, he could better appreciate the pride from the heart when his sister talked about her brother-in-law. What difficulty can disturb the heart!

This enthusiasm lasted for nearly an hour before the meeting entered the next process, which was the summary of Huainan's business affairs in the past year.

Today's Huainan is not only a gathering place for buying and selling goods, but also a huge production base. Naturally, it is impossible for the people to get involved in fundamental industries such as farming and smelting, but other handicraft industries are also very prosperous.

As for Dingcang, it is a huge collection of logistics, raw materials, labor, markets, warehousing and many other commercial elements.

There are many wealthy merchants with billions of dollars in wealth, but how can their family wealth compare with the huge amount involved in Dingcang.Even this year, due to the impact of the war, commerce and trade have also been affected and severely sluggish, especially between Heluo and Heluo, there have been many vicious incidents of murder and wealth.

But even so, when some core data of Dingcang were announced, many people present were amazed.This is also the first time that the Dudu Mansion has disclosed information of this level. When many wealthy and arrogant people heard that their wealth was not even comparable to the daily turnover of a warehouse, they were also greatly surprised.

In this brief report, the so-called wealth of billions of dollars is just an ordinary quantifier.Hearing the end, these supposedly crazy numbers have gradually made people numb.As for the gigantic Dingcang, ordinary people only see a glimpse of it, but when the whole is sketched out, it shocks the world immediately.

Of course, no one doubted the authenticity of these data, but later, officials from the Dudufu explained that there were printed copies of the materials in each branch venue for people to review and audit.Although the information channels between each other are still asymmetrical, at least some impartiality has been added.

Although the Governor's Mansion has made some false reports on the data of Dingcang, there is no doubt that with the laying and development of these years, Dingcang has already become a powerful and almost abnormal economy in this world.

It is also based on this reliance that Shen Zhezi has the confidence to use this to mobilize more accumulated public wealth, and use the tripod as the basis to optimize the allocation of resources that can be achieved at present.

The contents related to Dingcang didn't take long, but the shock it brought to people was even bigger than Wang Shidasheng.Wang Shizhuang's achievements can be said to be a blessing to the community, and the prosperity of Dingcang is directly related to the rise and fall of the family business.

Therefore, when this report was over, the entire venue fell into a strange dullness.The participants were not only digesting the impact of these messages, but also thinking about what they could get with their top positions.

Shen Zhezi was not in a hurry to let people start the next process. He sipped lightly at the table and looked at Huainan King who was also in shock and couldn't extricate himself.

Jiangdong's Taifu can use Huainan King to test and pave the way for taking over Huainan. Similarly, he can also use Huainan King to create the illusion that his relationship with Yuanzhong is still close.

He didn't even need the King of Huainan to express his opinion, he just needed his presence in the field to witness that many people put their wealth into it regardless of their own lives, then the Taifu's intention to take over Huainan would definitely suffer a serious setback.Because this alternation of Fangzhen's power will inevitably involve the redistribution of various interests, some people stand high and some people get out.

Most of the people present at the moment are from Jiangzhou, and Jiangzhou is Fangzhen, which needs to be taken care of in Taichung.Once the Taiwanese assistants are eager to make a move, it will naturally arouse the rebound of Jiangzhou people: the reason why Huainan Wang was sent across the river is to lure them to invest their family wealth, and then seize power and divide up the property?
Even in order to stabilize the emotions of Jiangzhou people, Taichung must be cautious in the future, or simply give up the pretense of King Huainan to find another way out, or fully communicate with the people involved in Jiangzhou to ensure that their interests remain unchanged.

But none of this can be done in a short period of time, and with this period of buffer, it is still undecided whether the Taifus will ask Shen Zhezi to hand over Huainan, or whether Shen Zhezi will go south to drive the Taifus out of Taicheng.
