When the Huainan envoy arrived in Duxia, the entire Jiankang City had already been immersed in a sea of joy, whether it was the secretary of state or the Hanshu, they all celebrated the victory of Yingkou.

Jiankangcheng learned the news of Yingkou's victory much earlier, almost as soon as the Yingkou battle had a preliminary result, the news had already been transmitted to the capital along the Tushui Flying Stream, because the people were too concerned about the progress of the Huainan war.

On the one hand, it is naturally because as the host of the Huainan War, Shen Zhezi himself has a good reputation in the capital and has received a lot of attention. Moreover, Huainan is the first to be in the ascendancy of Gyeonggi, and the situation of the war will directly affect the safety of Jiangbiao Jiankang.

Moreover, nowadays, many families in the north and south have invested in them, and there are also many children of clansmen who directly join the Huainan Army to fight in Huaishang. The outcome of the war is not only related to the danger of the society and the rise and fall of the country, but also related to the family business. Therefore, there are naturally a large number of people who are paying attention to the war in Huainan all the time, and once there is any variable, they will immediately fly back to the capital.

And Shen Zhezi did live up to the attention and expectations of the times, since the slave army had not yet officially come south, Huainan was a frequent success, including the big victory in the sneak attack on the city father, which greatly inspired the hearts of the people in Jiangdong.

Although Taichung has no shortage of resentment towards Shen Zhezi, he is also happy to hype up the many achievements of the Huainan Army.

The fact that the slaves exhausted the country's armor and raised troops to the south caused great pressure on the current situation in Jiangdong and the people's hearts. In addition to these psychological oppressions, because all towns in Jiangbei have to store for military supplies, prices in Jiangdong have soared, which has directly affected the lives of the people.

Among them, Huainan is especially important, which brazenly and intensified its efforts to absorb Jiangdong's financial goods and resources, and people in the north and south are also happy to be bewitched by it, and take the initiative to transport a large amount of assets to Jiangbei, which has further aggravated the shortage of Jiangdong's civil society. In Jiankang, where the situation is the worst, the price has soared to more than 700 yuan for doumi!

After Su Jun's rebellion, Shen Zhezi was responsible for the relief of the Gyeonggi disaster, and a large number of refugees were naturalized, and at the same time they attacked a considerable number of Danyang Haozong, and at the same time suppressed the shade of the northern and southern families, so the number of Jiankang households climbed to the extreme for a while.

In addition, because of the strong commercial and trade atmosphere of Jiankang City in the past few years, the development of production functions around Gyeonggi has not been able to keep up with the rapid increase in population, and a large number of people's needs and materials have to rely on external supplements, so the impact of the war is even greater. This situation can be maintained when there is no internal and external peace.

However, with the beginning of the war, the situation of Jiankang's people's livelihood has become precarious, and there is a shortage of food for the people.

In the face of such a situation, the princes of Taiwan Province are also worried these days, and they can't sleep at night. Although I was anxious, I could only do it in a hurry, but I couldn't actually do anything. In previous years, they could still morally accuse those wealthy sects who hoarded for profit, but now the money and grain are clearly gone.

Of course, there are also Taiwan assistants who have directly ordered Taiwan to forcibly suppress prices, but as soon as this plan was exported, it was almost rejected by everyone.

First of all, the shortage of materials is a fact, not a false illusion made by profiteers, if the price is imposed, then the most likely situation is that there will be no more rice on the Jiankang market, and the original sustainable situation will collapse immediately! Moreover, it is conceivable that they can still sell rice grain at this time, and it is difficult to force them. If it's too stiff, it's a mess.

Second, apart from a false order, Taichung has no other effective means to control the market situation. Of course, there are still means, but it is difficult for them to interfere, that is, the Dingcang to which Shaofu belongs.

The reason why the people's livelihood in Jiankang City has not collapsed at present, although the supply of materials is in short supply, there is still no food shortage in the market, which is also due to the regulation and control of Dingcang. At present, almost all the resources in the capital are almost through the channels of Dingcang. Through a number of controls on the source of goods, channels, and markets, the expansion of Dingcang's functions has almost surpassed all the official offices in Taiwan in today's internal affairs!

Shen Ke, who is the head of the Shaofu government, now even has a joking title of "Secretary of State" in Taiwan. In terms of etiquette, Shaofuqing is certainly not the first of the nine Qings. But in terms of the impact of the current situation on the current situation, Shen Ke has a headache and brain fever, and the impact on the current situation is even greater than that of Prime Minister Wang Cheng's serious illness.

And Shen Ke's power surged, which seemed to be sudden, but after careful consideration, there were actually traces to follow. First of all, the gradual change of the world style, Jiangdong Youjia business and trade wind is blazing, affecting the people of the time are gradually no longer keen on hoarding and savings, but for business and trade.

Dingcang is based on the huge market of Jiankang, and with the expansion of trade routes, it also penetrates its influence to all corners of Jiangdong. In ordinary years, Dingcang only acts as an escort for transactions and provides merchants with a convenient warehousing transit medium. However, with the start of the war, the market demand increased greatly, and it was difficult for the private households who owned the goods to put the materials directly on the market, and the importance of the warehouse as a link between the two became prominent.

The market needs to go through the Dingcang to get supply, and the merchants need to go through the Dingcang to reach the market. The importance of Dingcang is self-evident. Of course, there is also the Wuzhong Business Alliance with similar functions, but the Business Alliance itself has both regional and political attributes, and now it has become the main supplier of military supplies in Huainan, so its impact on the market is not as good as Dingcang.

It's not that Taichung has no intention of taking back Dingcang, but Dingcang is originally a complex collection of interests, and the interests of all families are grouped together, and then it is difficult to reach a conclusion on how the interests should be distributed. Moreover, although the capital is an entity, its real significance lies in the cobweb-woven channel, and how to completely accept Taichung is no less difficult than the collection of the affairs of many local counties to the center, which is an almost impossible task.

Even the entity in the capital, it is difficult for Taichung to accept it, because Shen Chong is here! Although Shen Chong is not in Jiankang, more than 20,000 Dongyang troops are sitting in Beijing, and if they really want to rush into Jiankang, it will be difficult to stop them.

As for why Taichung let Shen Chong go to Beijing to sit in the town, it was another account of blood and tears. The former Taiwan capital was directly detained in Yuhang and delayed the entry into the capital, and the Taiwanese ministers could not even continue to give money. Later, although he stated that he would withdraw from the state, the action was delayed, and it was still a cancer born in the southeast.

As the war turned severe this year, the ministers were also worried that this person would stay in the Huiji Association and repeat his old skills to raise funds for his son. Therefore, for them, the top priority is to let Shen Chong leave Huiji as soon as possible, so that Taiwanese capital can arrive in the capital smoothly, and as for the way to leave, it is not within their consideration.

With the voices of these low-level ministers, and there is no shortage of Wu people fanning the flames, even if Taifu is still hesitant, it is really not good to ignore the wishes of the people, and at the moment, except for Shen Chong, there are really no good candidates to choose from.

So the situation evolved step by step to the current situation, Shen Chong left Huiji Town and rushed to Beijing, while Jiangxia Gongwei Chong took on the Taifu public hope to go south to enter the county. What did Wei Chong do in Huiji, the benefits have not been felt in Taichung for the time being. But the harm of Shen Chong's going north has already been placed in front of him.

These changes are all variables that can have a profound impact on the current situation and will cause a large number of current people, especially Qingxu people, to rebound. As a result, because of the pressure of the slave soldiers, even if there are many angry voices, it is difficult to resonate at all.

The money and food were not in his hands, and he could have used the strong and had no soldiers available, so he could have launched a public opinion offensive to stir up the harm caused by the Wu people's endeavor to the current situation, but because Shen Weizhou was at the forefront of resisting, not only could he not slander his people, but also played up his military exploits to stabilize the current situation. The entanglement of the ruling princes in Taichung can be imagined.

Of course, a similar dilemma is not without a solution. The Karma slaves are coming in a big way, and their military power is unprecedented since Zhongxing, and it is very likely that there will be a rather bad situation in the Huainan war. This is not the evil idea of the Taiwan assistants to seek the enemy's luck in order to attack their political opponents, but an objective fact.

Now in the current situation, anyone can see it clearly, the Shen family is pinning their family fortunes on the Huainan War, and there are many overseas Chinese surnames such as the Yu family, as well as a large number of Wu people who have been advancing and retreating with the Shen family since then. Therefore, once there is an unfavorable situation in the Huainan war, for the sake of his own family business, and in order to protect the interests of many allies, Shen Chong cannot sit idly by, and it is very likely that he will go north to rescue his son.

The reason why the Taiwanese assistants relented and agreed to Shen Chong's entry into Zhenjing Mansion was not only to comply with the voices of many Taiwanese ministers, but also to provide convenience for Shen Chong to go north in the future. On the one hand, of course, it is based on state affairs, and on the other hand, it is also waiting for an opportunity to reorganize the current situation in Jiangdong. The Shen father and son were all contained in the north, and although there were still remnants of Jiangdong, it was naturally much less difficult to clean up.

At worst, it can also greatly reverse the embarrassing situation of the current central center that has been lost both inside and outside, and can only be reduced to waving the flag and shouting.

Although there is no shortage of thoughtful ideas, the world is not as good as it should be. Previously, Shen Zhezi had many small victories in Huaibei, and although the Taiwanese assistants also helped to publicize it in the capital, it was purely to stabilize people's hearts, in fact, they were a little disapproving, and there was even no lack of worry or joy. The Huainan Army has newly become a military town, but its performance is so active that it is very likely to attract the slave army to attack in the future.

When the victory of the city father came, the people of Gyeonggi were already boiling once, but the Taifu people were not lacking in deep worries about this, because of the public heart, they did not think that the Huainan army could stop the strong attack of the Qiang slave army. Sure enough, soon after, the main force of the slave army determined the direction of the main attack, and Shi Hu personally commanded the army to suppress Huainan. In addition to worrying, some selfish Taifu have already begun to think about how to adjust the current situation and divide the power after Shen Chong leaves the town and goes north.

Of course, when planning these things, they are also not lacking in righteousness and awe-inspiring, the children cannot be trusted, they can't be worried about the stubborn defense, and they dare to take the initiative to provoke the weak to meet the strong. The defeat and retreat have been decided, and Jiangdong needs a truly stable and capable person to preside over the situation!

When the fist was hot, Yingkou came to the victory, full of righteous fist and fist thoughts, and for a while I really didn't know whether to be happy or worried, and many entanglements could only be condensed into one sentence: "Shi Jilong, the slave and maid of the world!" ”
