After the division of Daqing, it was the sixth year of the armistice between Nanqing and Beiqing. The time has come to the end of February, and it has been more than ten days since the first spring rain, and the breath of spring has quietly descended on this Chinese land. Of course, for the land south of the Yangtze River, spring has actually arrived early, and in recent days, it has only become a lot hotter.

The quadrennial Jiangnan Poetry Festival is about to be held in Jinling, and there are naturally countless people from all over the world who come to see the excitement! As a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, Jinling doesn't know when it began to become lively......

Although there is still more than half a month before the start of the poetry meeting, talented people from all over the world have come to Jinling one after another. Among them, some people either want to feel the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and some want to get familiar with this prosperous capital city since ancient times...... And no matter what the reason, most people's purpose is to make a few good poems before the poetry meeting, so that they can win the jackpot and become famous all over the world!

And among these talents, there are talents who came from other capitals in the south of the Yangtze River; There are also talented people from the precipitous places of Shuzhong in the southwest; There are also talented people from Bianzhou, the capital of Nanqing, in the north......

Of course, in addition to these talented people of Nanqing, there are also talented people of Beiqing from the land of the north that is now confronting Nanqing! Although Daqing was divided, in terms of cultural exchanges, the emperors of the two countries did not stop them...... It can also be said that after the split of Daqing, in addition to commercial affairs, the only place where the two places communicate with each other. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the two countries are now in a period of stability!

However, with the increase in the number of people in Jinling City, although this Jinling is much more lively, there are naturally a lot more accidents of all kinds! Because in addition to these ordinary scholars who come from all over the place, there are also many gentlemen and passers-by who come to see the excitement.

This Jinling prefect Luo Haotian, although he is a corrupt person who bends the law and uses vicious methods. But if you talk about it, he is called "King Luoyan", over the years, under his drastic methods, although the locals of Jinling have complained, but the security of Jinling has always been excellent!

Because of his drastic methods, no one in Jinling dared to cause trouble. Because even if it's a trivial matter like a roadside vendor arguing, Luo Haotian will put you in prison! Of course, if you have enough money, or if you have a prominent enough family, that's a different story! If not...... It is possible to disappear into the prison in Jinling City!

Although the prestige of "King Luoyan" is very popular in Jinling, it is not so easy to use for outsiders from all over the world! What's more, among these talents from other places, there are also many "raptors who cross the river", they are either slightly famous, or their families are illustrious...... In short, there are a lot more troublemakers in this Jinling City.

But King Rayan is not called in vain after all! This kind of chaos in Jinling City, until Luo Haotian captured two batches of talented people in the Qinglou in Qinhuai River, because he earned a small Qinglou Oiran and fought a lot, finally became a lot more stable!

Of course, these so-called talents are just rich sons from other places, and they don't have any prominent family backgrounds. Luo Haotian is killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, although everyone can see it, but the final effect is also excellent!

Because of the talents that Luo Haotian captured that day, there were more than 20 people! And the fate of these rich sons is also extremely miserable! Not only were they arrested by Luo Haotian and marched on the streets for a whole day, exhausting all kinds of punishments, but they were also disqualified from participating in this poetry meeting! In the end, they were released...... Of course, each of them spent a lot of money in their homes!

In this way, these talents have also converged a lot, and they all know the prestige of Luo Haotian "Luo Yan King"! Even those real "dragons crossing the river" have to be weighed. Because although Luo Haotian is only the prefect of Jinling, under the turmoil of the current situation, no one can control him at all. Dong Qingyun, who was sent to rectify the officialdom in Jiangnan, has been here for so long, but he can't do anything about him, in this Jinling, he is covering the sky with one hand!

Although you are a fierce dragon crossing the river, a strong dragon can't suppress the low-headed snake after all!

As the poetry meeting approached, the number of people who came to Jinling increased almost every day. And this quadrennial Jiangnan Poetry Meeting has finally begun to be organized.

This Jiangnan poetry club is generally organized by the government and funded by local businessmen. Therefore, although this poetry meeting is a grand event for scholars all over the world, it is also a grand event for local businessmen!

Because a poetry meeting can always bring a lot of benefits to local businessmen from all walks of life! Therefore, this poetry will be held in a certain place, and the local people will naturally be very happy...... But this is exactly before!

The holding of the poetry meeting will attract many talented people and people who watch the excitement. Local merchants of all sizes will also make a fortune from this, which is indeed a good deal! But for Nanqing, who is now in turmoil, it is a little more subtle......

Because of the years of war, the treasury of Nanqing was empty. In addition, the current Emperor Nanqing is bent on recovering the northern country, even after the war with Beiqing is stopped, the cost of the army is not much less than during the war! Heavy taxes, coupled with the wanton indulgence of local officials by the DPRK and China, made the common people and businessmen miserable.

Therefore, the current Jiangnan Poetry Club has become a grand gathering for officials from all over the world to collect money! And Luo Haotian, as the prefect of Jinling, is naturally not willing to give up such an opportunity to collect money. As a result, this poetry meeting has become a sad event for the merchants of Jinling! The income they bring because of the poetry club is far from enough for them to pay the money that the government wants to collect!

It is precisely because of this that many businessmen in Jinling City have an incomparable headache these days. There are even many small traders who have already run away early......

"Then if Brother Guo said this, wouldn't Luo Haotian make a lot of money this time!?" At the entrance of the Guo family's kiln, Brother Shi asked Guo Renjie next to him while directing the craftsmen to assemble those complex machinery.

After these days of hard work, the formation of this workshop has come to an end. The changes in Jinling these days, Brother Shi is also in his eyes. Because of his "fame" in Jinling City, he has also caused him a lot of trouble these days. There are many foreign talents, after hearing the rumors about Shi Yuan on the streets of the philistine, they are all curious about this "demon king" in Jinling City!

Among these rumors, there is the "palindromic poem" that Shi Yuan wrote to Shen Wei at Mingyang Lake at that time, and the sentence that Shi Yuan read in Fenglai Tower, "We are all fallen people at the end of the world, why should we know each other when we meet...... What's more, those exaggerated storytellers said that Brother Shi was a poem in his mouth and a casserole in his fist! In this way, many talented people are naturally unconvinced! Exported into poetry? How is this possible! Most people are deeply skeptical of this.

Ladies and gentlemen, have a great weekend, ask for tickets~
