Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 636 Jiangning
Not long after, in the Zixuan Pavilion of Shangyang Garden in Luoyang, the eastern capital, His Royal Highness the current crown prince, who was dressed in purple gauze and black crown, was also listening to the routine report of a group of foreign ministers.These include the Fifth Chamber of the Cardinal, the Wu De Division, the Privy Council, the General Council Counselor's Office, and even the newly established Qingzheng Division and the Secret Censor Department.

The atmosphere during the period was also very neutral and peaceful, until Bai Acui, who represented the secret censor department/lixingyuan, the current head of the internal computer room of Mrs. Cen's confidant, and the grandnephew of the former prime minister Bai Xingjian; Dividing the copy, it also made the other people present short of breath:

"Your Majesty, this is the "Heavenly Heart Evil Theory" recently published by Xijing Lixingyuan. It is said that all things in the world follow the fundamental way of reincarnation. It is an existence without consciousness; After alien invasion, there will be an equivalent reaction."

"It's like the miscellaneous diseases caused by wind and evil that ordinary people unintentionally infect. Naturally, abscesses, sores, and sores will appear on the body surface as a warning. And some secret places that have appeared in the world one after another are like this kind of acne infected by wind and evil. Bruises; and those monsters that grow wildly are the poison of the disease."

"Therefore, the root of all things in this world will naturally produce corresponding antibodies, that is, those alien warriors who are awakening one after another, come from the poison of preventing and eliminating alien wind evils, and even emerge as the times require. Just to repair the wounds of the realm invasion."

"It sounds like it makes some sense, at least it can be justified for the current situation." The prince smiled slightly: "But I don't know if this set of "Heavenly Heart Evil and Different Theory" came from some great talent in Li Xingyuan. Hand: Could it be that supervisor, a new discovery and induction?"

However, Bai A Cui, who is the head of the internal computer room, continued without realizing it:
"Don't dare to lie to you, Your Majesty: This set of inferences was made by Yu Cong, the deputy supervisor of the Xijing Lixing Academy and a former Dongge scholar. More importantly, it also mentioned that if someone colludes with other people, it is claimed that this is the case. The focus of corruption and poison will be spurned and backlashed by the consciousness of the Tianxin in this world."

"Although I was able to gain extraordinary power for a while, it was also rejected by the invisible between heaven and earth. As time went by, it became less and less human-like; even under the influence of monster instincts, my temperament changed drastically, and I lost more and more. A lot of memory and wisdom, eventually replaced."

However, upon hearing these words, the complexions of several people present changed slightly; or their eyes flickered.It's just that when His Royal Highness the crown prince came over with his eyes, he immediately looked respectful and humble as usual, as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, Jiang Tian was already in a three-storey painting boat on Mochou Lake in Jiangning Prefecture; he was receiving warm hospitality from local officials.As one of the four major flower houses in Jiangning City, Xuanwu Lake and Mochou Lake, Shenglefang has been exclusively reserved for Jiang Tian in the past two days.

And the civil and military bureaucrats from the local Zhedong Road, such as the chief envoy, the inspector, the transfer envoy and the economic strategy envoy, the inspector censor, Jiangning Shaoyin, and the city ship envoy, all visited in turn; Gained the rare cleanness again, and began to appreciate this ancient city slowly.

In a sense, this is actually a fairly young city.Because, as the predecessor of Jiangning City, Jianye/Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties; in fact, when Yang Guang, the "Emperor of the Ages", was the commander-in-chief, when he attacked Nanchen, it was already destroyed, and even the base of the palace city was plowed into farmland. .

Therefore, the current Jiangning City, except for the indestructible stone city by the river, the other parts of the city are all the products of the reconstruction during the hundreds of years under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.Even so, the newly emerging Jiangning City was revived again relying on its unique geographical location.

It even eventually replaced Dantu downstream, and became the capital of West Zhejiang Province, which was divided into two Zhejiang provinces in Taixing Reform; and then became one of the two capitals and sixteen prefectures alongside Guangling.Therefore, when the rainstorm incident continued to erupt, these local officials had to be nervous and solemn.

Jiangdong Road, where Xuanzhou is located, and Zhejiang West Road, where Jiangning Mansion is located, are both the richest and most productive areas in the southeast; together with Huainan East Road and Zhejiang East Road, they constitute the core area and most of the southeast wealth of the imperial court.In addition, the coastal generation is rich in fish salt, and commercial sea trade is developed.

Therefore, in the hundreds of years since Taixing was reformed, the income from city tax, commercial tax, ship tax, and miscellaneous taxes on tea, salt, porcelain, and silk has far exceeded the traditional land tax by several times or ten times. , so the imperial court's income in the southeast eight ways accounted for nearly half of the country's income.

It is also because of the abundant local output, rich people, enough to support a large number of scholars, a cultural tradition of gathering talents and famous scholars.Therefore, the Shanghai School/Tonghai Party, composed of scholars from Liangling, Minzhong, Liangzhe, Lianghuai, and Jiangdong, was also an important political group in the court.

Therefore, this situation continued to expand, and after it got out of hand, it affected not only the shipping safety of the Dajiang waterway, the wealth and revenue in the southeast of the imperial court, but also the wealth and future of hundreds of local officials.Therefore, I am sincerely grateful and in awe of Jiang Tian who resolved the situation.

On the other hand, as a traditional bureaucratic system, it is always possible to dig out some bright spots in major regional disasters and report good news but not bad news; or make some funeral-style downplaying.But this requires the cooperation and approval of the parties headed by Jiang Tian.

For example, in this rainy area that has spread to several surrounding counties, only a thousand households with tens of thousands of households were saved in the end.But in the densely populated Jiangdong land, hundreds of large and small landlord families died out in disguise; hundreds of landless or land industries with inheritance disputes were left behind.

In fact, in this mutated area, although it became muddy and rotten because of too much rain; but also because of the melting and death of those alien species, the land became extraordinarily fertile and productive; so that in For several years, the demarcation disputes among the counties continued.

However, this has nothing to do with the current Jiang Tian.As the head of the local civil service system, the chief envoy and others came to visit in private without avoiding suspicion; it was to obtain an attitude from Jiang Tiankou, a tacit attitude of controlling the upper limit of accountability of the local officials involved at the state and county level .

Therefore, Jiang Tian also took advantage of the situation and put forward corresponding conditions: the first is to do everything possible to help the surviving people in the rainy area; the second is to make every effort to cooperate with the local authorities, regarding the root cause behind the expansion of the rainy area.This is also the only chance for them to reduce their accountability afterwards.

However, at this juncture, Linghu Xiaomu fell ill.After continuous hard work, she began to feel weak, coughing and feverish and completely lay down.So after some intense sweating/aerobic exercise in the hot soup pool, Jiang Tian could only let her rest for a few days before talking.

Then they were stationed in Jiangling and other places from the Xijing Lixingyuan, and some people were transferred to assist in the investigation.During this period of secretly conducting secret investigations, while recuperating and waiting on the bright side; Jiang Tian also received a letter from the back house members headed by Ajie/Hui Xiang in Qingqi Garden in the capital.

In this thick family letter, in addition to the current situation of the people in the back house and some daily life trivia, it also mentioned that the land price around Qujiangfang has recently started to rise and it is hard to find a lot of money; many private villas, mansions and The gardens have all begun to undergo renovations to varying degrees.

But at the same time, someone actually came to the door, saying that because the business was unsustainable, when there was an urgent need for money, they hoped to transfer the adjacent mansion at the market price.Therefore, sister suspects that behind this matter, to a large extent, she has received some kind of instructions and instructions.

The purpose is to test the attitude and position of the family, and may even take the opportunity to involve Qing Qiyuan in some potential right and wrong.But at least on the surface, it seems that the other party has no problem; it is just a long-running Daqin businessman in Xishi, who bought Xiaqujiang Bieye a generation ago.

In addition, Ajie vaguely mentioned another matter in Beijing.Even after a series of incidents in the Forbidden Garden Change, the re-appointed Shangjing Liushou has now taken office.It is Li Xun, the king of Guo, who is known as the half-brother of the current emperor, who is well-known for his knowledge and friendship with scholars.

However, although there is only one word difference between the left guard of Shangjing who took the post of King Guo and the supervisor of Xijing who was also the former king of Zheng, they are obviously different in terms of authority and position.If the word "supervisor" is missing, the title of supervising the various armies and government offices in central Beijing will be lost.

Although it is still possible to suspend him for investigation through official impeachment, but it does not have the expediency of improvising, direct dismissal, or even temporarily appointing an agent.Obviously, this is one of the unavoidable prices and concessions to be paid in the game between the inner court and the outer dynasty.
