Those women with very exotic style were obviously from the Western Regions, and those rough men, looking at their costumes, must have come from the grassland.
Business in Jiangnan is booming. Western Regions and grassland merchants travel thousands of miles to Jiangnan to do business. They exchange local treasures for specialties in Jiangnan, and can make a fortune in one trip.
Even the Tang family has a business in Jiangnan, and the scale is quite large. In fact, until now, Tang Ning didn't know how rich his cheap father-in-law was.
This also means that although he is far away in Jiangnan, he dare not be too arrogant. If he is seen by Tang Yaojing's eyeliner, he will not be able to make a deal when he goes back.
After all, her current identity is not Xiaoyi’s best friend, but the dignified wife of Tang Jiasan
They had not entered Jiangnan Road at this time, but they were the Beijing officials of the Ministry of Personnel. After checking in the post station, local officials in Anzhou came to see each other after hearing this.
After that, local officials took the initiative to hold a dust banquet. They participated in such banquets all the way.
Tang Ning did not refuse such an occasion. When the Beijing officials arrived at the local area, they were too arrogant, which was not a good thing.
Anzhou City is just a small city, neither prosperous nor rich. The best restaurant in the city looks a bit broken and the food is not as good as Tang Ning's taste. He dealt with a few mouthfuls and then took the excuse to leave the private room, leaving the Censor Zhongcheng to deal with the scene.
There will be curfews at night in the capital or some important cities. In small cities like Anzhou, there is no need for curfews. The nightlife of the people is more lively than that of the capital.
Although the lobby downstairs is not full, it is still in full swing.
The most eye-catching guest is a table of Western Regions, whose unique appearance makes them attract others' attention more than others.
The men were fine, two of them were tall and beautiful, and they were standard Western beauty. Most of the men downstairs looked at them from time to time.
Among the few people, there was a man with a Han look. Judging from the position he sat, he should be the highest-ranking among these people.
This is a strange phenomenon that Tang Ning saw, just like Xiaowan State. It was clearly a Western Region country, but the envoys were Han people. This Western Region caravan was actually the leader of the Han people.
When they were chatting, they were talking in Western dialect, and Tang Ning couldn't understand a single word
But there was another table of grassland people, who drank a big bowl and spoke loudly, Tang Ning could occasionally understand one or two sentences.
This is due to Wanyan Yan. When Tang Ning taught her Chinese, she also learned a lot of their Sushen language from her. Although she could not communicate with the grassland people, she could probably understand what they meant by stringing up the words they could understand.
The eldest prince, the third prince, and the fourth princess are one of the most mentioned words. The reason why there is no second prince is because the second prince is already dead
Obviously, these people are from Wanyan's tribe, and what they say is also from Wanyan's tribe. From them, Tang Ning heard a lot of news about Wanyan's tribe.
After the second prince died in Chu State, his power on the grassland was inherited by Xiaomanniu. Although the eldest prince and the third prince had always wanted to seize her strength to strengthen themselves, they ended in failure many times. The heir of the Khan of the Wanyan tribe has officially formed a three-legged tripod.
Of course, this is just for the three of them. The real commander of the Wanyan tribe is their father. He has the vast majority of the power of the Wanyan tribe. In recent years, he has been leading the expansion of the Wanyan tribe...
Before Tang Ning left the capital, he heard that the situation on the grassland had changed.
When Chen Chu formed an alliance, a country secretly funded the Shuhu Ministry, and a country secretly supported the Jiagu Ministry, forming a confrontation with the Wanyan Ministry, thinking that it could completely curb the expansion of the Wanyan Ministry.
Their purpose was indeed achieved, but no one expected that in just two years, the Wanyan Department further suppressed these two parts, and the situation of the three parts confrontation had already shown a trend of being broken.
No wonder Emperor Chen attaches so much importance to the matters in Jiangnan. The Jiangnan Rebellion alone is nothing to Chen State, but if there is a problem in the north, the court will have no time to take care of it. Under the attack of the north and south, the situation in Chen State will immediately become serious.
Although his soul comes from another world, he lives in Chen State, and his family and friends are also in Chen State, so he does not want to see such a situation.
Tang Ning couldn't understand what the grassland people said next, and he didn't continue to listen. He turned around and returned to the private room.
However, during their chat, a few words of crappy Chinese were mixed with him, which made him think of Wanyan Yan. The former little maniac turned into the current female khan. Tang Ning always had a mysterious premonition, and the premonition that the two would meet again...
……
The convoy stayed in Anzhou for a day and set off again. After two days, he arrived at the boundary of Ezhou.
Although Ezhou is still far from their destination, it is indeed part of Jiangnan West Road. When the officials of the Ministry of Personnel enter Ezhou, they have to work hard.
Tang Ning had read the information about the prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River earlier. Compared with other prefectures passed by along the way, Ezhou is already very rich. It also produces copper mines in the prefecture. According to convention, this should be the prefecture that the Ministry of Personnel focuses on.
However, Tang Ning knew what the purpose of his trip was. The exam for Jiangnan officials has always been like that. Even if there is anything wrong with it, he doesn't plan to delve into it, let alone waste time here.
Local officials in Ezhou have already greeted him outside the city. The governor of Ezhou personally welcomed him and bowed: Several adults have come from afar. The governor of Ezhou and Ezhou officials are here to wait...
The Censor Zhongcheng walked forward with a smile and said: "You are polite, Lord Yu, come to the city and talk."
The governor of Ezhou looked at him and said in surprise: The person who came to Jiangnan this time was Lord Qi. We have been missing for a long time...
The Ezhou Governor and the Censor Zhongcheng obviously knew each other. The Censor Zhongcheng, who had been accustomed to bowing his head and bowing along the way, finally straightened his body this time, and his eyes looked at Tang Ning were quite warning.
Tang Ning doesn't care about this. He doesn't plan to stay in Ezhou for a long time. He will set off again in at most two days.
After all, officials in Ezhou can delay the exam, but the rebellion cannot be delayed for a moment.
Of course, it was when nothing unexpected happened
The group entered the city and were arranged to be at the inn
Inside the post station, Tang Ning was resting in his room, and in another secluded wing room, the governor of Ezhou looked at the chief censor and wondered: Why is it Brother Qi who came this time? The Censorate is too much of a problem. Could it be that something happened?
Brother Yu guessed it well
The Censor Zhongcheng looked at him with a solemn expression and said: The candidates for Jiangnan this time are different from the past, and they have changed again and again. It must be because His Majesty had some thoughts about Jiangnan and had to be careful...
The governor of Ezhou looked at him and said suspiciously: Is there anything wrong with the candidates sent by the Ministry of Personnel this time?
This person is not easy to deal with. The Censor Zhongcheng said with a sinister face: On the way, even the official was suppressed by him. He is afraid that he really wants to make some trouble in Jiangnan.
Are there few people who want to make trouble in Jiangnan? The governor of Ezhou looked at him, curled his lips, and said sinisterly: Since he has bad intentions, we might as well start the best...
