The Chen State is much richer than the Chu State. The main reason is that the Chen State occupied the Jiangnan territory.
Jiangnan has abundant resources and provides a large amount of tax revenue to Chen State every year. Even if Jiangnan is not close to the capital and the court's binding force on the local area is weakened, local officials can still play a lot of tricks in taxation, but the benefits the court has obtained from Jiangnan are still considerable.
Because the people's lives are rich, they have been safe and stable since ancient times, and no trouble has occurred. There are many officials in Jiangnan who have great voice in the court. The court and even the emperor turn a blind eye to certain chaos in Jiangnan.
A certain state in Jiangnan
A tall mansion
Although Jiangnan is far away from the political center of Chen State, there are many wealthy families and wealthy businessmen. In terms of the degree of wealth, even the capital is far from comparing with it.
Therefore, luxury houses can be seen everywhere in Jiangnan. In Jiangnan, where the people are generally rich, the luxury of this mansion is also rare.
A young man in a gorgeous dress strode out of the mansion. An old woman chased him out of the mansion and stopped him, saying anxiously: Prince, the prince has only passed away for several months. Logically speaking, you must be mourning for three years. During these three years, you must wear mourning clothes and do not gather to visit friends...
Three years? The young man in the Chinese clothing looked at her and asked: In a special period, you don’t have to care about these things. Big things are approaching. Can we wait for three years?
The prince should not be so anxious. Jiangnan is extremely important to the State of Chen. Once a chaos occurs, the imperial army will surely advance straight in. At that time, our years of arrangement will be ruined... The old woman looked at him and said: Take a step back and say that the prince's body is not cold, and the prince should not wear such gorgeous clothes...
The young man in China looked at her, his face darkened, and said: Bai Jin, you'd better understand your identity, just a slave. What qualifications do you have to instruct me what I should do?
After saying that, he looked at Bai Jin coldly, turned around and left
An old man with a gloomy face walked out of the mansion, glanced at the old woman, and followed the young man
Su mèi walked out of the mansion, covered his mouth and yawned, looked at the old woman, and said lazily: The King of Guizhou has passed away. Is all this meaningful?
The old woman looked at her and said with a solemn expression: Although the King of Guizhou unfortunately died of illness, there is still a prince, who is also the orthodox royal family. There is no difference between the prince or the king of Guizhou.
Su Mèi glanced at her and asked: Will the King of Guizhou talk to you like that?
The old woman looked away and said: The prince is still young, I will lead him on the right path.
Then you can lead it slowly... Su mèi yawned again and asked: When will we go back to the capital? I haven't had a good sleep for several months...
I will go back when it's time to go back. The old woman glanced at her and chased her in the direction where the young man disappeared.
Su Mèi glanced at her, turned around lazyly, and walked into the depths of the house
The two guards at the door slowly turned their heads and their eyes were slanted. In just a short time, I don’t know how many times I swallowed my saliva.
……
Half a month of traveling, since I crossed a certain mountain a few days ago, the climate has gradually become more pleasant
The imperial court takes a small test every year for local officials and every three years for major tests. This time it happens to be the turn of the major test, which is why the Ministry of Personnel is so busy.
In another two days, you will enter Jiangnan West Road. Although Tang Ning's trip was aimed at Jiangnan East Road, the exams on the surface were also done. When you get there, you should slow down.
The court's assessment of officials was very complicated. Civil officials were different from military officials, Beijing officials were different from foreign officials, chief officials and assistant officials were different. The direction of assessment also ranged from personal morality, local customs, to agricultural and forestry reclamation, tax collection, population increase, social security, etc., which was very detailed.
It is naturally impossible for Tang Ning to examine all these every time he arrives. This time, there are many low-level officials accompanying the Ministry of Personnel, who specialize in these things. Every time he arrives, he will send one person to be responsible and two sharp blade members to ensure safety. The rest can continue to move forward.
Tang Ning was sitting in the carriage. At one moment, the carriage was knocked. Chen Zhou lifted the curtain and said: General, ten miles ahead, you will reach Anzhou Prefecture City.
It was not too late at this moment, but if you passed Anzhou City and moved forward, you would not be able to reach the next place to rest today, so you could only camp on the spot.
Tang Ning thought for a while and said: Then let's rest in Anzhou City for a night, rest in place for a quarter of an hour, and then set off for Anzhou City after a quarter of an hour.
He jumped out of the carriage, and the curtain of a carriage behind him was lifted. The Censor General looked at him and asked: Lord Tang, why did you stop?
Tang Ning said: I plan to rest for a night in Qianfangzhou City. What does Lord Qi think?
It depends on Lord Tang. After the Censor Zhongcheng said something, he put down the curtain of the car
Tang Ning stood by the roadside and took a few breaths of fresh air. The fatigue caused by the fatigue caused by the train and horses disappeared a lot.
Since he discussed with the Censor General on the first day that the Shangfang sword was not sharp given to him by Emperor Chen, along the way, Lord Qi from the Censorate never had any disputes with him again, and he himself had a clear ear.
After passing Anzhou, it may not be so peaceful along the way. He doesn't know what the situation in Jiangnan is yet to be sure whether the chaos in Jiangnan was created by Su Mèi and the others.
Before leaving, I learned Bai Jin's true identity from Gongsun Ying, and Tang Ning also tried to guess their purpose.
The State of Chen occupied the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and most of the northeast was occupied by Chu. The State of Liang, which had already destroyed, was located in the Yunnan-Guizhou area. If they could occupy the east and west of Jiangnan, they would have a steady stream of food and money. Once they could lead the team, they would go straight to Guizhou and sweep away the remnants of the local forces...
With food and money, they can also get up in Guizhou at any time. Jiangnan is the top priority in this link
Of course, whether they can do it will be the premise that Chen State sits silent about their actions in Jiangnan, but this is obviously impossible. Jiangnan is Chen State's granary and wallet. I'm afraid that before they can cause any storms in Jiangnan, the court has sent a large army south to kill the signs of rebellion in Cute buds
The imperial court is not easy to attack the prairie barbarians, but it is very easy to go south, and it doesn't take much effort to quell the rebellion.
Unless Chen State encounters something more serious than the Jiangnan Rebellion, such as the invasion of Sushen people or the invasion of the Western Regions, the possibility of this happening is very small. There is a chaos in the south, the west, and the north at the same time. By that time, Chen State is likely to be unable to survive, so naturally he has no time to take care of Jiangnan. By then, it is meaningless to take care of Jiangnan without caring about Jiangnan.
Tang Ning looked at Gongsun Ying standing next to the carriage and asked: I remember you said that Bai Jin would not rebel?
Once there is a change in Jiangnan, the Chen court wants to send troops to pacify it, which is easy. Gongsun Ying looked over and said: She is not that stupid. There should be any other hidden feelings about Jiangnan.
Gongsun Ying seemed to be very sure of some things. It seems that the chance of meeting Bai Jin during this trip to Jiangnan is very high, and it is very likely that it is an unpleasant meeting.
But this is not what Tang Ning cares about. It doesn’t matter whether he is happy with Bai Jin’s old woman, just be happy with others…
Not long after a ten-mile journey, we arrived in a flash. When the convoy arrived at the gate of Anzhou Prefecture, they lined up and slowly entered.
Anzhou is just a small city, and there is still a line to enter the city. Tang Ning lifted the curtain and looked at it. He found that they happened to meet two caravans, and three caravans entered the city at the same time, which made him feel a little congested.
The members of the sharp blades were looking at a team of rough giants, showing an interesting expression. The minor officials of the Ministry of Personnel, including the Censor Zhongcheng and his entourage, looked straight at several foreign women in another team with their arms and navels exposed...
Jiangnan has abundant resources and provides a large amount of tax revenue to Chen State every year. Even if Jiangnan is not close to the capital and the court's binding force on the local area is weakened, local officials can still play a lot of tricks in taxation, but the benefits the court has obtained from Jiangnan are still considerable.
