The river is rising, and hundreds of boats are swimming.

The people in Jiankang City have not seen such a busy scene on the river for a long time, and they can hardly see the border at a glance. A large number of goods are piled up on the riverside, and the air seems to be filled with a sweet smell of rice grain!

There has been a shortage of materials for a long time, and the entire Jiankang City seems to be a long-dried riverbed, desperately absorbing the long-awaited rain. On both sides of the river from the state city to the west, there are almost carnival figures everywhere, or carrying cloth bags, or pushing carts, or carrying cage baskets, men, women and children go into battle together, carrying rice and grain to their homes one by one.

An old man in the crowd trembled his knees, and the small half bag of grain on his shoulders suddenly fell, and the old man screamed, hurriedly bent down and pounced, waving his hands to prevent others from approaching, and then carefully picked up some rice grains that were shaken out, even if the rice grains had been mixed with a large amount of sand and gravel dust, they were not wasted, and they were carefully sifted with the hem of their clothes.

"You old man really don't know anything, if you have this time to sift rice, you can already transport rice to your home again!"

The person who was blocked next to him shouted discontentedly and strode over the place.

The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and even if he wanted to get up and shake off the rice grains mixed with sand and stones, it was just a pity after all. He grabbed the middle of the mouth of the rice jam with both hands, and chewed the rice grains vigorously while spitting out the gravel, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly covered his face and cried: "Pity my son, if I can survive for a few more days, I can be full of death......"

From the state city to the west, all the way to the west fence gate, both sides of the waterway were filled with people who were ecstatic or weeping, each of them hurriedly carrying food, lest they should be left behind.

Since the first time the grain ship from the west appeared under Stone Town, the price of rice in Duzhong has begun to plummet, and the highest price of rice has fallen to less than 300 yuan in just a few days, and it continues to fall!

The people in the capital have been stranded for a long time and are already hungry, and this price is like giving away for nothing compared to the high food prices in the past few days! They feared that the beautiful scenery in front of them would only be temporary, fleeting, so those who had spare money would do everything they could to bring food to their homes for stockpiling.

In the attic of a garden villa near the state city, a group of beautifully dressed and leisurely people are gathering in the attic. Several slender and lightly wrapped beautiful dancers are dancing in the hall, dancing charmingly but not demonic, accompanied by sultry music, which is very comforting.

It's just that such a glamorous song and dance was ignored by the people in the attic at this moment, and most of everyone's attention was still focused on a young man sitting in the center of the room.

The young man wore a jade crown and a small bun, wearing a cardigan, and the folding fan in his hand slowly beat with the melodious music, occasionally picking up the wine glass on the table, and everyone in the banquet was busy raising their glasses accordingly, and their eyes did not dare to turn an instant, lest they miss any slight change in the other party's expression.

"The beauties in the hall are dancing together, full of beauty, but you are forcing me with your eyes, which makes me a little uncomfortable."

Shen Zhezi took a sip of half a glass of fruit wine, put down the wine glass and said with a smile.

Ji You smiled at the other seat: "Who makes Wei Zhou a distinguished guest who is difficult to invite, an idler like me who frequently bothers at the table, then few people will wait and see." ”

"The horse and Ji Jun are both rare guests, and they can't look at each other when they are idle. If it weren't for the invitation of the Yucang Department this time, I would have waited to see through it, and it was hard to smell the sound of the voice! ”

One of the people in the banquet got up and said, because the movement was a little violent, the wine in the cup was spilled on the placket, looking a little embarrassed.

When Yu Tiao saw this scene, he feigned anger and said: "Xiong Jun's state, could it be that the wine is not beautiful, but only a wet shirt?" ”

After hearing this, the man's demeanor became even more cramped, and he frequently looked at others and asked for relief.

"Yu Jun is just joking, Xiong Jun must not take it seriously. The customs of the city are also commonplace, and if you can drink together, you are good friends, laughing and letting go, and you don't have to be restrained. ”

Ji You smiled and played a round to relieve the person's embarrassment.

After hearing this, the man laughed, pulled his shirt, raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "The wine is very beautiful, I dare not ask for it, please punish yourself!" ”

After three glasses, the man sat down again, and the atmosphere was not as awkward as it had been at first, and they began to talk and laugh with each other.

Shen Zhezi was also very quiet, and came to Xicheng to take a look at Yu Tiao's request. In the turmoil that just passed in the capital, although he made a great contribution, on the surface, it seemed that it was not his family that benefited the most, but the Yu family and the Ji family.

As early as the beginning of the launch, Shen Zhezi wrote a letter to Yu Yi, reminding him that he could take the opportunity to pull out Zhao Yin, the nail planted by Wang Dao in Liyang. Although Yu Yi's move seems quite unreasonable, Director Wang has been overwhelmed by the accountability of all parties, and he has no energy to concentrate on dealing with Yu Yi.

After occupying Liyang, the situation faced by Yu Yi suddenly became clear, although he has not yet been officially appointed as the assassin of Yuzhou, but it is only a matter of time. And after this move, the haze that originally shrouded his family because of the Liyang Rebellion and Yu Liang's death was swept away!

Although Yu Yi is not yet up to the power of Yu Liang in Yuzhou in history, the foundation has been set up, and the next step is to operate steadily.

Of course, this seemingly reckless move also hides a lot of trade-offs behind it. On the one hand, it is the most direct comparison of strength, Liyang is already dilapidated because of Su Jun's rebellion, and Zhao Yin only occupies a position there, in fact, he does not have too strong military support.

However, there were more than 10,000 soldiers under Yu Yi's command, including some of the exile commanders recruited in Jingkou, as well as the original members of the guard, and of course, the defeated army of the Liyang Department. Yu Yi couldn't organize such a powerful army by himself, such as Xu Mao's department, the old Kuang family's department, and that part of the guards, all of which were run with the help of the Shen family.

The two families have now completely merged, both politically and militarily, not to mention the cooperation between Yu Tiao and Shen Zhezi's interests.

Of course, the military strength alone is not enough to support Yu Yi's military action to expel Zhao Yin, you must know that there is also a Wang Shu squatting in Jiangzhou.

Because of the complete convergence with the locals of Jiangzhou after his arrival, Wang Shu even turned a blind eye to Director Wang's plight in Jiankang, so his control of Jiangzhou was also very smooth. The strength of the Jiangzhou army is there, and it is far from being able to match the miscellaneous army of more than 10,000 people.

If Wang Shu has a tough attitude against Yu Yi's crossing of the river, then even if Yu Yi expells Zhao Yin, he will still have to return as he passes.

Therefore, when Yu Yi was launched, Shen Zhezi's father Shen Chong also transferred the Dongyang Army to Xin'an County, which borders Poyang County, Jiangzhou, and gave Yu Yi support.

At the same time, when Yu Yi arrived, he recruited Tao Kan's son Tao Qi to serve as the chief historian, and maintained a harmonious relationship with each other. Of course, this is not enough for Tao Kan to fully support Yu Yi to cross the river, so Taicheng still has to operate here, and then fight for a position for Tao Kan's son.

As for Jiankang City, although the queen mother is estranged from her mother's family, she is also happy to see her brother sitting in Xifu. And in Taicheng, several Taifu were so uncomfortable by Fang Zhen's condemnation that they couldn't unite and force Yu Yi to go back.

Because there are so many conditions to cooperate, Yu Yi's crossing of the river can be a foregone conclusion.

As for the benefits of the Ji family's harvest, it is also obvious. Originally, the most important Tao family in this chaos was taken down in one fell swoop, and Tao Hui's father and son had been captured, and it was a certain death situation, leaving only some remote side branches, and it was difficult to carry the banner. With such a tragic example in front of them, those Danyang people have already dispersed their birds and beasts, and it is not a problem.

Except for some people who have taken refuge in the past, the rest of the families have to bear the purge that is still in full swing in Taichung, and they have suffered great losses because of the influx of materials into Jiankang.

At least in the matter of building a new capital, no one has jumped out to oppose it clearly.

As for the Shen family, after this turmoil, the position has not improved much, but it has completely grasped the control of the construction of the new capital, and has passed several major resolutions one after another, the most important of which is the construction of Fang City.

In Shen Zhezi's original plan, the new Jiankang City should have two large trading areas in the east and west. Since it is a trading area, it is natural to choose a prosperous area with dense population and convenient transportation. It's just that in such an area, land is really difficult to collect, and earlier in order to avoid exacerbating the conflict, the plan had to be put on hold for the time being.

But now, there is no one on the table to oppose it, so Taichung quickly made a decision, and several problems can be solved by taking advantage of the situation.

After several months of price manipulation, the people's fat and people's ointment were looted too ruthlessly. Now that the piled up of materials has opened the floodgates and flowed into the market, the small people's homes have no purchasing power. However, Shen Zhezi is also ready, and the government lends money. Led by the Shaofu Pingzhun Order, each family donated money and property to form a Yimin warehouse, and the people in the capital can borrow property of different amounts with their names and homestead as pledges.

In this way, both the household and the homestead can be controlled, and at the same time, the purchasing power of these people will be increased, and each family will have hoarding, and the situation will soon be stabilized. When the new residential area is completed, the people who have pledged these mortgaged lands can be relocated and resettled relatively smoothly. The vacated land can be used to build a market.

These lands still nominally belong to the imperial court, but the right to use them has fallen into the hands of Shen Zhezi and the Wuzhong family behind him. Of course, the gains from earlier price manipulation are thus lost.

Although at the moment, Shen Zhezi can do it even if he uses force to evict the people and forcibly expropriate land, it will cause unnecessary turmoil, and secondly, there is no need to encroach on the small property that these small people already have.

He has simply erased the right of choice of these people, and in an environment where the political situation and geopolitical relations are extremely tense, it is not necessarily a good thing for small people to have choice. Like the laborers in the camp, they would not have been slaughtered if they had not been incited to rebel.

Everyone is just a small note in the big era, and if it can't be integrated into a main theme, it is destined to be just a noise that will inevitably be cleared. In the same way, if a person does not know how to defend and use his right to choose, then this right will only kill him.

Whether the world is good or bad, most people are always enslaved. The progress of civilization is only glorifying the means of slavery and making people more emotionally acceptable. Shen Zhezi chose to lure instead of wielding a butcher's knife to drive away, which is a little warmth he retains in this era. ...
