At this time, in the hall of the fort, the leaders of the Huainan clan and the township sect had already gathered economically, and the seats were even lined up in the corner, and there were more than 300 people. Even so, there were still many people standing under the porch looking forward to it.

When Shen Zhezi, Xie Shang and Yu Bin arrived here, everyone inside and outside the lobby stood up to greet them, lined up on both sides, and bowed their hands. waited until Shen Zhezi and the two of them entered the room to sit down, and then the others returned to their seats, and their posture could be described as extremely deferential.

Today's Huainan is extremely short of food, although Shen Zhezi did not explicitly ban alcohol among the people, but the ban in the Inner History Mansion is quite strict, including himself, no matter what the occasion is, he does not drink alcohol to set an example, and today is naturally no exception. There was no shortage of delicious food, but there was no alcohol, but the atmosphere did not fall short. As soon as Shen Zhezi sat down, everyone in the banquet spoke one after another, either congratulating the family reunion, or praising Shen Hou for winning the king's grace and understanding.

Shen Zhezi picked up the hot soup and tea and gestured to everyone at the table, and said with a smile: "Today's wind and snow are full of snow, it was just a family matter, and I really don't dare to bother the public." But although the wind and snow are abundant, but it is difficult to stop the blazing nostalgia, this township and this people, so that I am flattered, to be able to live here, by this simple and thick nostalgia, it is also my great luck! ”

"Why do you need to be humble for this, my hometown and my people can be preserved, except for relying on the envoy, there is no need to rely on the second sage of this world! Great grace and protection, how can words express it! The king's choice of courtesy and courtesy is a sign of the revival of the community, and we and the people are all blessed and educated, which is really very encouraged, and the nostalgia is prosperous, and there is no fear of the cold! ”

In the middle of the banquet, an elderly countryman stood up, wiped away the snot that had flowed into his beard with the sleeves of his robe, and said in a loud voice with a thick nasal voice. Although it seems that it is indeed unbearable, the tone is high and exciting, and it is really commendable.

After this old announcement, all the villagers in the rest of the banquet also opened their mouths to echo, and the thick buttermilk was drunk in one go, and the atmosphere was really warm. It's just that the heavy drinking posture fell in Shen Zhezi's eyes, and he always felt that these people were just taking the opportunity to drink a few more cups of hot drinks to ward off the cold.

Next, Shen Zhezi introduced the two envoys Yu Bin and Xie Shang to everyone: "These two are both selected Junyan in the court of the old Wangkou in Yuzhou. Now that the king is advancing bravely, sweeping away the slaves, and returning to his homeland in the future, he will also be a pioneer at that time! ”

Chenjun Xie and Yingchuan Yu were not first-class Xuanhe Men in the Chinese Dynasty, but they were already quite famous, especially in the early years Yu Bin's father Yu Liang ruled Jiangdong, if the Huainan villagers here were engaged in the ancestral covenant, they would probably have heard the ancestral covenant scold Yu Liang. So when they heard Shen Zhezi introduce their family history, there was no shortage of people present who raised their glasses to the two of them.

Xie Shang is still down, although he has not yet occupied a prominent position, but his appearance and demeanor are outstanding, no matter what kind of environment he is in, he is eye-catching, and he has long been accustomed to this atmosphere. However, Yu Bin and his people have lived in the countryside for a long time, and they have not experienced this kind of situation of being looked around for a long time, so the response is even more cramped. And just now I saw that Shen Zhezi, an old friend in his early years, is now widely admired by the times, and his demeanor is graceful and generous, and he is a little ashamed of himself in addition to envy.

Even if everyone complimented these two people, they were actually superficial, nothing more than to give Shen Hou a face, so as not to be cold here. Speaking of familiarity, they knew each other much better about their respective cousins. So the topic naturally shifted to Xie Yi and Yu Manzhi.

These two guys are now the best among the young men in Huainan. At that time, there were many people who were analogous to Zang No, even in Huainan, but the characters they appreciated had little to do with Jiangdong Xuantan, but were mainly concentrated in Huainan among these generals.

For example, now the generals under Shen Zhezi have also been elected by the villagers to be a four-biao and eight handsome, such as Guo Yu, Han Huang, Mao Bao, and Lu Yong of the prime-age faction, all of whom are self-serving generals and fierce generals, and they have all made great contributions in the past war, so they are recommended to be called the four biao, and they are praised by tiger generals.

And Bajun is the young generals of Huainan, such as Shen Mu, Shen Yun and Xie Yi, Yu Manzhi, etc., all of whom are among them. Among them, except for Shen Mu, who is now in charge of Qiaocheng and is in charge, although the rest are still a little inexperienced, they can also lead an army alone, and they are quite prestigious between Huainan and Henan.

At present, most of those generals are in charge of their lives, and they are guarding outside, but there are not many present. However, when it comes to their respective war exploits, everyone here is also a treasure. This is due to the fact that Jiang Yu and others spared no effort to publicize the names of these generals in the town, so that the children in the countryside of Huainan said that the generals under the command of Shen Xiangjun could count them one by one.

When Xie Shang listened to these villagers talk about the deeds of his cousin Xie Yi, his mood was complicated. His family is not a first-class fame portal in the north or south, in the early years of the south, his father was selected as Jiangzuo Bada because of his free and elegant style, originally he also followed his father's old path, and wanted to stand out from the times. However, with the evolution of the world, even in Jiangdong, the Xuanxu world style has been much more restrained, and this kind of style is gradually no longer praised by the world. And then what replaced the rise was the pragmatic style advocated by Shen Zhezi, who was brave to be a king and diligent in making contributions.

From Xie Shang's own heart, of course he knew that the kind of courage and diligence advocated by the horse was more beneficial to the world and to the individual, otherwise he would not have chosen to go north to make contributions. And his cousin Xie Yi did become famous because of this. But emotionally speaking, Xie Shang is inevitably still a little disappointed, mainly because he feels that the efforts of his father's generation are finally inevitable to be abandoned by the world.

Tonight's banquet didn't last long, probably because these villagers didn't want to be evil guests who disturbed the reunion of other husbands and wives after a long absence, so when the wind and snow stopped a little, they all got up and said goodbye, and it was over.

Although those people were gone, Shen Zhezi didn't have time to turn around and fold into the boudoir, and he had to talk to Xie Shang and others about the recent changes in the situation in Jiangdong. Although he has received a quick report here, he still does not know much about the specific details.

After the villagers all left, Shen Zhezi and the others all moved to the side hall. This time, there were not too many outsiders, in addition to Xie Shang and Yu Bin, there were also Du He, Ji You and other Huainan officials, more than a dozen people sat around the small stove to talk at night, and the atmosphere was not bad.

After they sat down, the first person to speak was Ji You, who was mainly responsible for all kinds of warehousing in Huainan, and was previously responsible for registering the goods of nearly 100 cars of the princess and her entourage, and he was busy until now, and he didn't even attend the dinner just now.

As soon as he sat down, he opened the long manifest and said with emotion: "There is no shortage of treasures for the goods that the princess brought to the north this time, and there are many things that are sometimes used, but it is a little bit of a lack of things in the town. ”

As he spoke, he counted the types of goods. Those people in Jiangdong give gifts, but they also know how to consider the issue of practicality. In addition to some ceremonial utensils given by the Empress Dowager for only ornamental purposes, there are many other scarce items such as copper, iron, cotton, linen, leather, meat, and preserved food. These things are not difficult to raise in Jiangdong, but in today's Huainan, especially when water transportation is completely suspended, it is really a timely gift.

After hearing this, Du He couldn't help frowning and said: "We are all in charge of the state now, and the official and private affairs must be cleared." These goods are the princess's private belongings and cannot be directly entered into the treasury. ”

Ji You also forgot for a while, and after hearing the words, he smiled: "What Brother Daohui said, how could I not know that these things are included in a separate volume." How to incorporate it into the government in the coming day, naturally I have to ask the princess again. ”

Shen Zhezi couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, in fact, since he crossed the river, there has been no accurate boundary between public and private use. This is not because he confuses public and private, but the problem is that there is no material subsidy allocation in Taichung, and Huainan, Liangjun and other places in the past are all in ruins after a long war, and they have no material use at the local level, and there is almost no financial resources to speak of. He didn't want to be constrained by this, and since he went north, there had been a lot of fighting, and if it wasn't for the expediency, he couldn't support the operation at all.

However, now that the situation in Huainan has finally stabilized, it is still necessary to set up a stable and clear framework on the financial side. It's not that he is stingy with his own wealth and is unwilling to give lightly, in fact, in this situation, even if the family of the head of the Shen family Jiangdong is invested in Huainan, there are very few roles that can be played. If this situation of entanglement between public and private is maintained, it will also become a criminal evidence that he will be attacked in the future.

However, it is not so simple to completely separate the public and private, not to mention that the Shen family created Liang County almost alone, just the goods that the people of Jiangdong Township invested in Huainan before, which also implicated the replacement of some assets of the Shen family in Wuzhong Township. Coupled with the previous large investment of those villagers, it was in exchange for the current good situation in Huainan, and this is only the beginning of Shen Zhezi's entire Northern Expedition plan, so it is necessary to ensure the return of the villagers' previous investment in order to bring more help to Huainan in the future.

At present, Huainan is strong and weak, and the people are tired, and the foundation is still too thin. When Shen Zhezi conceived these financial transactions, he also had to stick to one principle, that is, the two foundations of people and land must not be allowed to be given and received privately. Even their Shen family itself, Shen Zhezi does not plan to enclose land on a large scale and self-fertilize. Therefore, for the future operation of Huainan, Shen Zhezi intends to pull the main body of Dingcang to Huainan, use Dingcang as the main underwriter, and use a form similar to national bonds to maintain the future construction of Huainan and continue to develop troops to the north.

But today's Dingcang is already the largest part of Taicheng's finances, even if it was created by Shen Zhezi himself, but now with its growth, he can no longer be regarded as the private property of the court gate and disposed of at will.

If you want to snatch food from Taichung, it is not easy, so the first thing to do is to break up Taicheng, and there can not even be a superficial union. The most critical point is to kick out Director Wang, who has special significance to the current situation and has the ability to entrap all parties, or temporarily let Director Wang no longer have this ability. The core purpose of the personnel transfer in the front city is this.
