Shen Zhezi officially had only four subordinates, Sima Wuji, Du He, Kuang Shu and Lu Yong. And as the situation becomes clearer, this nominal master-slave will inevitably come to an abrupt end. However, the liaison and relationship between them will not end with the abolition of Shen Zhezi's position as governor, but will make more substantial progress and strengthen.

Needless to say, Kuang Shu and Lu Yong will not be sheltered by the Shen family in the future, and it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in Jiangdong. Although Du He was born with the old surname of Guanzhong, he was single-handedly pulled out of the predicament by Shen Zhezi. And the status of the king of the emperor did not give him much protection, and he was also in a difficult situation politically.

Shen Zhezi convened a meeting of everyone in the Governor's Mansion, and in addition to these four Peng subordinates, there were many other people, such as Shen Mu, Shen Ke, Ji You and others.

They are also in solidarity with each other, and they have cultivated a lot of tacit understanding in the past time, and Shen Zhezi will no longer talk nonsense, and after everyone is seated, he motioned to the king of the long history to write and said to everyone: "If there is no major change in the situation, our Governor's Mansion will also be abolished." While there are still some conveniences at the moment, you can freely express your thoughts on what you want in the future. ”

When everyone heard this, their expressions couldn't help but perk, they were all the core members of Shen Zhezi's team. Not to mention the Shen family this time, the merits and advantages obtained by Shen Zhezi alone should not be underestimated, and now let them speak freely, the implication is that they are ready to share the merits.

These people here have different backgrounds, identities and even their earlier positions, if it weren't for Shen Zhezi's invitation, it would be impossible for them to sit together happily as they are now, and it is actually difficult to trust each other. After hearing Shen Zhezi's words, even if he had a vision for the future, it was difficult to speak directly for a while.

Shen Mu didn't have the same worries as others, and seeing that everyone wanted to speak and stopped, he couldn't help but say first: "This time, I don't have the luxury of expecting Mingjue to benefit." Wang Taibao is now giving a heavy gift, you just help me ask, can the money and silk of many deeds be distributed as scheduled? ”

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he glanced at Shen Mu angrily, this cousin who saw the money was really insulting the reputation of the head of his family. However, he also knew why Shen Mu was so anxious to ask for a reward, he was so poor that he couldn't open the pot.

The main branch of their Eastern Sect was not separated, and the rules established from Shen Zhezi's great-grandfather's generation were passed down to Shen Zhezi's father's generation, and the uncles and brothers each held a part of the industry. Then Shen Zhezi took over the family business, and then did some integration, the cohesion of the industry is higher, although the family business is getting bigger and bigger, but it is impossible for the children to take what they want.

Although outstanding children like Shen Zhezi and Shen Mu can use more assets, they really have to use a large amount of money, and they must also give the sect elders a reasonable reason. When it comes to everyone's own expenses, it's actually not a lot. Shen Zhezi was able to spend a lot because of the rich dowry brought by a good wife, and then developed his own private industry around Jiankang.

Shen Mu was not so lucky, although his Yue's He family was also a big family, it was impossible for him to marry as generously as the first emperor, and he didn't have that chance to eat soft rice. Originally, his biggest income was still in Shen Zhezi's share of dry shares, but with the rise of chaos, this part of the income was also cut off, and the economic situation was a little difficult.

However, this is not the main reason for his lack of money, the biggest reason is that he broke in Jiankang City earlier and helped many people with righteousness and awe-struck. As the situation in Gyeonggi gradually stabilized, many women who had been rescued by Shen Mu earlier came to visit him and ask him to fulfill his agreement.

At first, Shen Mu didn't think anything of it, he was complacent now, and he wouldn't break his promise and get fat, besides, these women's families were all dead, which was really pitiful. There are only a few more mouths to eat on the left and right, and he can't eat him, but it can show his Shen Erlang's righteousness. Therefore, whenever a woman cries out, he takes her in.

But gradually, Shen Mu sensed that something was wrong with the situation. It is probably because his name of Shen Erlang has been praised quite loudly in the capital recently, and some of the lost women who have not been there have also begged for help. Since you have opened your mouth, it is difficult to refuse. So far, Shen Mu has taken in more than 100 concubines, and all of them have been placed in the Shen Garden, which was fortunately preserved. And every day, there are still three or three women who come to ask for help, which makes Shen Mu feel pressure.

Shen Mu clearly remembered that he saved a lot of people that day, but it was impossible for there to be so many! Even some white-haired old women held a truncated finger that they picked up out of nowhere, and said conclusively that Shen Mu had made a private agreement with him for life, which really made Shen Mu have a hard time! With so many people thrown into his private door, although he was temporarily in charge of the defense of Taicheng, he did not dare to move the military rations, and he really racked his brains in order to maintain it.

Too many women are troublesome, and Shen Mu was even forced to save his own rations to support these women, and the whole person was hungry and thin, which can be described as pathetic. Therefore, at the moment, he is not interested in what kind of official or anything else, he just wants to get some money and food for emergency.

This incident caused quite a stir, and most of the people in the audience heard about it. Hearing Shen Mu say this at this time, for a while, no matter whether the relationship was close or not, he almost couldn't help laughing. Especially Ji You, who was often harassed by Shen Mu earlier, was even more happy at this time, and his body was swinging: "Erlang is fraternity and righteousness, and he is good at helping the weak and orphans, he is simply an example for my generation!" ”

"Ji Wenxue, you still have the face to laugh at me! Since I am your example, why don't you learn from me? I know that your house is empty, and I will send dozens of concubines to your house later! ”

Shen Mu glared at Ji You angrily, and his mood was already extremely bad. He made such a big battle in a frenzy for a while, and he didn't dare to imagine how he would be reprimanded by his uncle and father when he returned home the next day, and this guy was still laughing at himself without heart and lungs.

Then he looked at Shen Zhezi again: "Qingque, you are the eldest of my family, and you have nothing to do with your arms so far, since I am my brother, I ...... you."

"There doesn't have to be Brother Lao!"

After Shen Mu made such a fuss, the atmosphere in the hall was much more cheerful. Shen Zhezi heard that Shen Mu was going to stuff the trouble to himself, so he grabbed the paperweight on the case and smashed it casually. Before he left the capital, this matter revealed some clues, and as soon as he returned to the city, his little trumpet, Shen Yun, gloated and told him about it.

Of course, Shen Zhezi can't sit back and watch this kind of nonsense, in fact, Director Wang of Taichung has already planned for this, and those women who have nothing to rely on will be accepted by the Shaofu in the future, and some of them will be selected for use in the palace, and the other part will be temporarily offered to share the merits.

Although Shen Zhezi is quite resistant to taking people as gifts, at present, as long as he can give these women a way to live, it is already the best, and it is foolish to pay attention to any human rights. This kind of thing Shen Zhezi is not easy to intervene directly, he plans to wait until the stage returns to the capital, and the princess will come forward to say that the queen mother will organize these women to do some weaving and embroidery production, on the one hand, let these women have some way to live, and the profit can also be used as a palace in the coming day.

But there is no need to break Shen Mu now, just to let this guy remember the lesson of this time, and see if he dares to act recklessly in the future! In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a Dumas Zhongshan King Liu Sheng, whose children and grandchildren were full of children, Zhaolie Emperor Liu Bei, Liu Kun and Liu Sikong, and even the great poet Liu Yuxi of later generations, all of whom were descendants of this great king. Shen Zhezi didn't want such a figure in his family again.

"If it's money and silk, then you don't need to mention it, it's useless to say it."

Taking advantage of Shen Mu's speech, Shen Zhezi simply expressed his position directly. Whether it is the current Taiyuan or the Xingtai in Jingkou, the family will be exhausted, and it is impossible to do such a reward. Otherwise, Director Wang would not have risked offending many people, and used land to calm people's hearts and stabilize the situation.

Everyone smiled when they heard this, they may not all regard money as dung, but they have never reached the point where Shen Mu is about to run out of water. For them, of course, it is the official authority that is more attractive.

"Why don't I talk about it first?"

Du He glanced at everyone in the banquet, he and Shen Zhezi already had a tacit understanding, and of course he also understood the focus of this meeting: "The chaos in Jiangdong is about to be settled, and the situation is still not optimistic, especially the homeland of Yuzhou is completely destroyed, and the slaves have become a problem to the throat, so we have to pay attention to it!" ”

"This is a serious matter, Daohui said in detail."

Shen Zhezi sat up straight and motioned for Du He to speak more deeply.

Long before Su Jun's rebellion, Du He knew that Shen Zhezi had the idea of serving Yuzhou, Jiangbei, and he had been preparing for this. During this time, he has been staying in Zhoushan to communicate with those Yuzhou surrendered troops, and he naturally knows more about this: "The Yuzhou Department of Zhoushan supervises the two people, Fan Yan and Chen Zongju are the ...... of the people who live in Yuzhou."

As Du He spoke, everyone's expressions gradually became solemn, because the situation in the north was really not optimistic.

There is a saying in ancient times that guarding the river must guard the Huai, and if you want to guard the Huai, Yuzhou here can not be ignored! Even whenever a confrontation between the north and the south arises, the control of many important military towns in this region is the most intuitive manifestation of the national strength of the north and the south.

It is said that Wang Dao has the merit of reviving and abolishing the tripod, and under this great achievement, one of the most important and basic guarantees is the Northern Expedition of Zu Ti. Zu Ti's Northern Expedition, which was not favored at first, recovered the land of Henan, providing the most important military guarantee for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is the premise for being able to survive!

Pushing up from the river, the first layer of defense along the river is Liyang and Guangling, which guards Gyeonggi Jiankang and Huainan, the second layer is centered on Hefei, and the third layer is centered on Shouchun that is, Shouyang.

When Zu Youjie was in charge of Yuzhou, the town was still in the heart of the Central Plains, radiating Xiangcheng, Yingchuan and other Henan places. But soon after, he was forced to retreat to Shouchun by Shi Lebing. Now, with the disaster of Liyang, Shouchun has been broken, the ancestral covenant has been defeated, and Jiangbei has become an undefended place, in other words, Qianhu may come south at any time.

At the beginning of the year, Shi Le called himself the king of Zhao Tianwang, saying that the emperor was imminent, and it was very likely that he would show troops to Jiangbei, even if he was unable to cross the river, he could also take the effect of intimidation. Not to mention what kind of turmoil it will cause to the undecided Jiangdong, many operations in Jiangbei in the early years alone may be swept away, and it will be even more difficult to think about crossing the river in the future.

Shen Zhezi also knew that he was unable to go on the Northern Expedition at the moment, and he was fortunate to be able to stabilize the current situation. The reason why he is in a hurry to arrange Jiangbei is to seize the vacancy that there is no resistance in the current capital. When Xingtai returns to the capital, it is conceivable that because of the cowardice of the military power, the imperial court will inevitably adopt a defensive posture, and it will become extremely difficult to do these things again.

Of course, Shen Zhezi could not ignore Shi Zhao's reaction to this, not only to keep some of the original foundations of Jiangbei, but also not to be so radical that he would attract the army of Qianhu to encircle and suppress him. Therefore, it is extremely important to draw the safety line.
