Shen Zhezi left Jiankang District for more than ten days, and when he returned, the appearance of the city had improved a lot. Although it is difficult to restore the old appearance of many buildings destroyed in the war in such a short period of time, the basic streets and alleys have been cleared, and many villagers whose homes have been destroyed are living in shantytowns temporarily built in some demarcated areas.

"These villagers are all innocent suffering, and it will be difficult for the imperial court to spend money in Japan, and it is really difficult to provide comprehensive relief. At present, many palace and temple officials in Taichung have been destroyed in the chaos, and it is difficult to send them back to their hometowns and resettle them. Therefore, in the next period of time, Wei Zhou will need to help clear the wasteland near the outskirts of Beijing, and settle these homeless villagers in Zuojin County Township as soon as possible. ”

Although Director Wang still didn't know what Shen Zhezi's intentions were, he could see that Shen Zhezi really had the intention to help him stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi, so he was no longer polite at this time and said directly.

Shen Zhezi also nodded after hearing this: "Taibao, please rest assured, the situation is like this, people's livelihood is the national economy, and only when there is a way to live in the fields and acres that we can see, can people's hearts truly settle down." The younger generation also knows that it is not easy to fix chaos and maintain stability, and there may be many difficult points in the middle. ”

Although Shen Zhezi didn't know why Director Wang wanted to recruit him as his subordinate, it was a fact that he and Director Wang had a basis for cooperation at present. Including earlier, he helped Wang Dao to meet Tao Kan, and he also hoped to win the support of Tao Kan and Jingzhou.

Everything that can make people strong will eventually turn around and form constraints. This is suitable for anyone, including Director Wang and Shen Zhezi himself. Director Wang has today's fame and status, which has a great relationship with his family background, so whenever he wants to do anything or have any plans, he looks at it from the perspective of the overseas Chinese surname. This is not so much a limitation of history as a limitation of the human heart.

In the past, Shen Zhezi borrowed Director Wang's scruples, and there was even no shortage of threats in repeated confrontations, which made Director Wang make concessions. Then you have to turn around and give Director Wang some favor and help. For example, what Wang Dao just said about clearing barren land and relocating refugees, but in fact, to be honest, where will there be any barren land around Gyeonggi?

The family is pervasive, and the land that can be occupied and embezzled has long been settled. The only way to find out enough land is to use some heavy-handed means. In the process of countering the rebellion, the Langya Wang clan behaved very poorly. The Yu brothers were not in a mess, and they guarded the platform and held the last line. The Wu group led by the Shen family has sprung up again and gained a foothold. It's all a stark contrast that gives people more ideas about the future.

If Director Wang used a tough attitude and means to seize land from those big clans at this time, it was very likely to provoke greater resistance and backlash, and not only could not do anything, but it may intensify the contradictions, so that the situation in Gyeonggi could not be calmed down for a long time.

Shen Zhezi is different, his family is a new upstart rising, and the momentum is fierce. It is not a necessary moment of life and death, and few people will rush to come into direct conflict with him at this time. Then Shen Zhezi has some leeway here, and his attitude has always been very strong since he entered the capital, which will make people taboo, and Shen Zhezi can fight for enough land to resettle the people.

Shen Zhezi did this, naturally he also had his considerations, success will make people blind and arrogant, and the interest circle centered on his family is naturally no exception. Will anyone get carried away by the victory and feel like they can go one step further and fight for more? Of course, an interest group must be aggressive enough to bring enough benefits to the people involved, so that the structure can be more stable and the ties can be more close. But how many people understand the truth of moderation?

A few days ago, when Shen Zhezi was in Qu'a, Yu Yi wrote to him about a problem, saying that Lu Ye and others had been quite active in Xingtai recently. Although he still abides by etiquette on the surface, he frequently meets many Wuzhong families in private. If Shen Zhezi didn't guess wrong, then they were planning to move the capital in private.

If you don't consider the situation in the north and the future Northern Expedition, even Shen Zhezi admits that moving the capital is a good choice for the current Jiangdong. Now Jiankang has been dilapidated, Jiangbei has no danger to defend, if you want to leave the capital in Jiankang, not only Jiankang to rebuild, Jiangbei also has to start from scratch, in addition to many problems. Not to mention the problem of manpower, in terms of financial resources alone, the imperial court simply cannot afford it.

However, if the capital is moved to Jiangdong, the pressure on the border defense will be relieved to a certain extent, and on the other hand, it will be able to directly obtain the money and grain nourishment of Wudi, which is conducive to establishing order as soon as possible. But in this way, the imperial court may be nested in Jiangdong or Wuzhong, and the prospects will be even more worrisome.

If you leave Jiankang and shorten the distance from Jingzhou, the most important town in Jiangdong is very likely to evolve into a semi-independent existence. At the same time, with the obstacles set up by the Wu people, those exiled marshals in Huaibei will inevitably drift away from the imperial court, not only can they not become a help, but they are very likely to evolve into independent warlords or simply become the vanguard of the northern attack on Jiangdong!

But the problem is that this matter will indeed bring great benefits to the Wu people, and the Wu people are the most important hole cards of the Shen family's forces. Shen Zhezi's toughness today comes to a large extent from the support of the Wu people, and he cannot ignore the Wu people's views on this matter.

It is absolutely impossible to move the capital, but Shen Zhezi can't oppose it directly, so he has to help Director Wang maintain this bottom line. Shen Zhezi will not be soft and will not back down, his advantage over others is that he knows where the line is, and he knows that he needs to stop in moderation. It is true that retreating and forbearance makes people mourn, but if you blindly march forward, people will die, and there must be a time to digest and buffer.

The north and south Gaomen are all bad species, the overseas Chinese surname is not a good thing, and the Wu people are even worse. Of course, this merit does not refer to character, but depends on whether it is good or bad for the current situation. When the Wu people are in power, they will not be better than the overseas Chinese, and they may even be worse. Even if Shen Zhezi now directly enters Taicheng as the ruling boss, he is powerless to calm down and solve those long-standing contradictions.

Even if you don't consider the major issues of right and wrong, purely from the perspective of your own interests, moving the capital is not a good thing. The greatest contribution of the Shen family to Wuzhong is to lead the villagers to fight for and build up the Wu people's own army, if the relocation of the capital is successful, then the advocates of moving the capital will gain great fame among the Wu people, and in one fell swoop overwhelm the glory that the Shen family has obtained. Moreover, the Shen family will have to bear the pressure of a civil war that may occur in the future.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi and Director Wang are now on the same path, although their positions are different, but their goals are the same. Director Wang can't be tough now, so Shen Zhezi can only take on this responsibility.

Speaking of this, Shen Zhezi no longer concealed his intentions, so he suggested to Wang Dao in the car: "Xingtai was originally an expedient establishment to quell the chaos, but now the chaos will be settled, and Her Majesty the Queen Mother should not stay outside the capital for a long time, resulting in multiple orders, which is not conducive to the stability of the situation." The younger generation feels that when to go to the platform to greet Her Majesty the Queen Mother should also be decided in the near future. ”

The world is so paradoxical, the queen mother is all planned and arranged by Shen Zhezi, and now she is in a hurry to welcome people back. Earlier, his family was barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and only wanted to improve. Now that it has become an important party in the current situation, it has to consider the reconstruction and maintenance of order.

"So just now I told Wei Zhou that it was time to invite Tao Gong into the capital, and now that he is the governor of the counterinsurgency, how can his wishes best convince others."

Director Wang also bowed slightly, it is not a trivial matter to summon Tao Kan in. Although he is now the most prestigious and powerful in Jiankang City, in fact, the most important power in the capital is still in the hands of Shen Zhezi.

Although Shen Zhezi has retreated to Stone City and has a posture of retreating, there are still many things to rely on Shen Zhezi to help at the moment, so Director Wang can't go past Shen Zhezi and directly summon Tao Kan. Once Tao Kan entered the capital, his authority naturally covered Shen Zhezi, which was equivalent to directly handing over Shen Zhezi's power. Before Xingtai was officially removed and the Empress Dowager and others returned to the capital, Director Wang couldn't ignore Shen Zhezi's feelings.

Moreover, after Tao Kan's army approached Gyeonggi, he was only stationed outside, and he himself did not take the initiative to ask for the capital to be guarded. It can be seen that Tao Kan is also very measured and even scruples at the moment. For Director Wang, many essences can be seen through appearances. Tao Kan's scruples naturally can't be Shen Zhezi, a junior, who didn't directly enter the capital, so he should have reached some agreement or tacit understanding with Shen Chong in Dongyangzhou.

In such a situation, Director Wang naturally can't be a bad guy anymore and win over Tao Kan to suppress a junior. Moreover, he may not be able to win Tao Kan's support. In addition to state affairs, at Tao Kan's age, it should be more about heirs. And on this issue, the help he can provide to Tao Kan will not be much greater than that of the Shen family.

It's a pity that the group of Taiwanese ministers who can't distinguish the facts and want to use Tao Kan's momentum to suppress Shen Zhezi. These people are afraid that they still don't understand why they were driven back to the capital after staying in the Jingzhou army, and they turned around and fell into the hands of Shen Zhezi, who had just been offended by them!

In this matter, Director Wang is also a beneficiary, those ministers are trapped in Stone Town, there is no noise in their ears, many things are much more convenient to deal with, and there are many less pointless disputes. After all, if he wants to stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi as soon as possible, he will inevitably harm the direct interests of these Taiwanese families. Now those people are still trapped in Stone Town, and there is no leader to come forward, and these people dare not resist too much.

As the team was moving forward, there was a sudden commotion in front of them, and several people jumped out from behind the broken wall, broke through a group of guards, and rushed directly in front of the car.

"Protect the Taibao and the horses!"

Seeing this, Shen Zhezi's personal soldiers stepped forward one after another, revealing their murderous intentions.

"Don't get me wrong, don't ...... I am an old man of the horse, and I will never dare to harm the horse......"

Seeing that the sword soldiers were approaching, one of the young men hurriedly raised his hand to show that he had no blade, and then he was thrown into the dust and shouted to the driver, "Please see me!" I'm Danyang Zhang Mu...... Ask for a ...... horse"
