Yu Zhangzhi Nanchang, now Jiangzhou Thorn History Mansion is located here.

The Assassin's Mansion was heavily guarded, but there was a commotion inside. Recently, there have been many checkpoints in the territory, and bandit traces have frequently appeared, which can be described as unquiet, and the atmosphere has been tense to the extreme for a while. All the families in the realm suffered a lot because of this, so they all came to the door to ask Wang Shu to see the assassin, but they were told that the assassin was sick and had been lying on the bed for a long time, so it was inconvenient to see guests.

"We are not unremitting, and we are not afraid of making you sick, and we want to disturb you. It's just that there are a lot of restlessness in the territory now, and there are many villagers who have suffered hardships, and many tragic situations are difficult to count. When this is critical, the envoy can't live in the depths, so how can the villagers live in peace! ”

Many villagers gathered here to ask for help, but it was difficult to see the side of the assassin, so they naturally refused to give up, and stayed in the assassin's mansion for a long time, lingering.

This situation lasted for two days, and Wang Yunzhi, who served as the Nanchang Commander, came forward to meet with the representatives of various families in Zhizhong, and said: "I am really sorry that the king is sick and lingering on the couch, and I can't see all the village sages." Many bandits are in turmoil across the border, and it should be that they are traveling and eating here, and the soldiers in the border have been in trouble for a long time, and they have not been able to track down the thieves in time. The envoy has already dispatched all the generals to rush outside, gathering people to prepare for war, but the whereabouts of these thieves are uncertain and they have not been able to make contributions for a while. ”

"The thief happened suddenly, and it made people feel unsettled. The generals under the government can only work hard to make up for the previous negligence. How these thieves were able to cross the border quietly is awe-inspiring. The sages gathered here are also useless, and they only add to their worries. You might as well go home for the time being, and if there are traces of thieves on the side of the court gate, please report to the county urgently, and you will gallop to kill them. If you still can't be at peace, you can only send troops to the countryside to guard the border. ”

Such a response did not explain the source of the bandits, nor did it explain the specific military arrangements of the town, which naturally did not make people satisfied. Everyone was still about to argue and make noise, but Wang Yunzhi had already ignored the feelings of the crowd and sprinkled out.

In the inner courtyard of the Assassin's Mansion, surrounded by high walls, many soldiers are guarding, isolating the noise from the outside, and it is still quiet.

Wang Shu is not pretending to be sick, he is really sick, and it is not an emergency, but the root of the disease that has fallen since Nandu. Jiangdong is wet and cold, the climate is very different from the countryside of Xuzhou, every spring and autumn, there is wind and cold invasion of the body to make his joints painful, unable to sit still, can be described as miserable.

Nowadays, although the temperature is getting warmer, the room is still surrounded by charcoal fires, which is quite hot. After taking a dose of the adjuvant medicine was exhausted, the cold in the body was also relieved, so Wang Shu's spirit seemed good, his face was ruddy, and he was holding a pen to review the letters and military information summarized by all parties. The maidservants standing indoors are already sweat-soaked clothes, light clothes are ironed close to the body, and there is no lack of delicate posture, but they are only idle like things, and the master is not allowed to play with them in the slightest.

"The father is suitable for peace, and many affairs have their own children and share the work among the group, so it is not appropriate to work hard."

After Wang Yunzhi dealt with the representatives of the various families in Zhizhong, he hurriedly returned, and when he saw his father lying sick, he hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"It's not that it's too old to be used, it's boring to be idle."

After Wang Shu heard this, he put down the pen and paper in his hand, looked at his son with a smile, motioned for Wang Yunzhi to sit in front of the couch, and then asked, "Have those people dispersed?" ”

"Still noisy in the vestibule, dissatisfied with this answer."

Wang Yunzhi shook his head, and seeing that his father was still in good spirits, he ordered the maid to retreat and prepare the soup.

"Naturally, they will not be satisfied, they are deeply rooted in the township, and they have a lot of grievances in the town, and they only say that the way of peace in the world is God! Hmph, that's okay, and let them be noisy, don't worry about it. ”

For these wealthy clans under his rule, Wang Shu has also been resentful for a long time, and the folk customs of Jiangzhou are especially worse than the three Wu closed places, these wealthy clans are scattered among the countryside, each with high walls, disrespecting the king's voice, and one by one they seem to be isolated from the world. There is a lot of ignorance for his own assassin history, and he is not under control, and he is extremely disobedient.

While speaking, Wang Shu handed the letter he had just handled to his son, and all the priorities were marked: "These affairs will be distributed to each agency later." Later, you will also go to Poyang to reorganize the army, and you don't have to stay in the town for a long time. For my father's old suffering, after this period of time, it will be fine, and I don't need my son to serve for a long time. ”

Wang Yunzhi nodded, put those letters on the case and looked through them for a while, and if there was anything he didn't understand, he asked carefully.

Wang Shu patiently replied to his son, with a lack of relief in his eyes. During this period of illness, he entrusted many affairs in the town to his son, and everything was handled in an orderly manner, and he was already quite talented in all aspects. At this age, I can't reach such a weightlift, and I can be said to have a successor.

"Your trip to Poyang, the rest can be slowed down a little, and the focus is still on the army. The old army in Jiangzhou was mostly involved in collusion with the local tyrants of the township, and it was difficult to use the bad teachers for a long time. Take advantage of this opportunity to recruit and train into an army, so that you can be less constrained by the sect thieves! ”

After Wang Shu arrived in the town, he originally planned to live in peace with the families in the realm, but those people were really too much, they were not afraid of the king's orders, and their interests were too far away from him.

For these intricate Haozong, Wang Shu has long wanted to do it, but because there are many strong enemies around him, he has not been able to find a suitable opportunity. Recently, the clamping down outside the state has finally eased, and even without the instructions of the Taibao message, he is ready to move.

The first is to start with the military, he wants to get rid of the shackles of the old army in Jiangzhou and build a new army that is completely controlled by the state capital. There are quite a lot of refugees in Jiangzhou, and many of them are strong Ding Yong, who can become an army with a little reorganization. After the formation of the army, they swept away the Shanyue and other barbarian tribes that had been suffering for a long time in Poyang and other places, one to train the troops, and the other to take the security territory, and the cleared area was enough to resettle the displaced people and reclaim the land on a large scale. When the number of households, acres of land, and military strength directly under the control of the state capital increases, it will not be a problem for those wealthy sects to clamp down.

This whole set of plans, Wang Shu has been brewing for a long time, and it has finally been implemented so far, which can be said to be the fulfillment of his wishes: "Where Peng Ze is located, the prosperity of fish and rice is not inferior to Sanwu, and it is suitable to cultivate and recuperate." This is not only the work of this life, but also the long-term aftermath. Your father has laid out a framework for you, and you will be able to hold the foundation of this work for a long time to come, so that you will not be afraid of trouble. ”

Living in Nanxiang, where should they settle down, this is a choice that overseas Chinese faced at the beginning of Nandu. The first good choice is naturally Sanwu, although it is a remote area in the southern countryside, but if it can be operated for a long time, it may not be inferior to the countryside, and the place is close to Gyeonggi, which is also very convenient for controlling the current situation.

However, many causes and coincidences led to the loss of Wu Tu, and in Wang Shu's view, Jiangzhou was not a good choice. But there is one thing that is not beautiful, that is, it is too far away from Gyeonggi, in a corner. There are disadvantages and advantages to such a geographical environment, the disadvantage is that it is far away from the center of Gyeonggi, and its ability to influence the current situation is slightly inferior, and the advantage is that it can avoid a considerable part of the treacherous political struggles in the capital, and immerse yourself in controlling the business, which can get a long-term recuperation.

Therefore, Wang Shu really intends to operate in Jiangzhou for a long time. Past deeds show that the Qingxu Township Party is too persistent in the center, but its local operation is slightly inferior, and now it has gradually been overtaken by its successors, and the trend of one dominance no longer exists. If you can't get a place to build on, you will have a long history of sorrow and then decline.

But not many people agree with his idea. Many villagers do not have much interest in Jiangzhou, which is located in the southwest, such as Yang Dan, who is currently serving as Yuzhang Taishou, and has no intention of ruling this township for a long time, just thinking about making a fortune and leaving. Such a greedy person, if it weren't for the old friendship of the Tong family, Wang Shu would have expelled him a long time ago.

If you want to completely suppress this local sect, it is not enough to rely on yourself, so Wang Shu has always hoped to attract the Northern Sect to come here to jointly operate. But the results are really small, except for some people who covet the name of the big county, it is some undesirable people who go all the way here, such as Chen Jun Yinrong's uncle and nephew who came to him not long ago.

Including the Taibao, Jiangzhou's huge potential has actually been ignored, and the instructions given to him this time are only in the hope that he can grasp a shallow situation as soon as possible, focusing only on Jiangzhou's ability to clamp down on the rest of the towns.

Wang Shu has a different view on this: "The dog is old, chasing the north to seek merit, and it is really extravagant to want to leave it behind." Uncle Yu is a mediocre disciple, or he can survive for a while, but he has no long-term ambitions, which is far more than his brother. The thieves of the Shen clan are coiled in the countryside, which seems to be powerful, but in fact it has become a stalemate. No matter who governs in the future, the cancer of this township will be attacked, and if you don't know it, you won't be far away. ”

"If my family can pass on the foundation of this western soil for a long time, it will be able to survive in this world. Taibao is a person, born with a crown, and living in a glorious place, what he sees is actually contrary to this world. The royal road collapsed, and Huayi Shishu was brave at that time, fighting for the future, how could he tolerate the harmony of one or two hypocrisy! His people mediate inside, or want to seek stability from the good, but in fact, they are very rebellious, cowardly, and the family is not yet appeased, how can they be deterred from the outside? ”

Speaking of this, Wang Shu's meaning is already very clear, he hopes that his family can stay in this town for a long time, and he does not want to get involved in the center anymore, and he will not give his family a place to live in Jiangzhou, and no longer place all his hopes on the center. This is similar to the so-called cunning rabbit three holes of Wang Sikong back then.

"If you want to rule this township for a long time, you should also appease those villagers, right? Similar to Guo Mo's murderous gangster, the killing is too much......"

Wang Yunzhi frowned and said, he knew that Guo Mo had been running amok with his fake life recently, and the places he had passed were simply miserable, and he was simply a complete rogue.

"Time is running out, and the opportunity is rare or fleeting. This kind of murderer should be used for a long time, and he will be ......troubled for a long time."

When Wang Shu talked about this, the killing intent was fleeting, he had always lacked a good impression of a homeless handsome like Guo Mo, and if he was not forced to do so, he really didn't want to use it. However, this time, in order to compete for time, it is necessary to achieve a lot of success in the short term, and such people are needed to use it.

"Your father bears the notoriety, and the children don't worry about it. Go for it. ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Shu waved his hand and asked Wang Yunzhi to go down and prepare to leave.
