Since the turmoil in Jiangzhou, the west of Jiankang City has been a little deserted, and there is no longer the prosperous scene of thousands of sails across the river last year.

Since the day before yesterday, there have been many guards stationed under Stone City, prohibiting ordinary people from approaching. It wasn't until noon today that two large ships sailed from the west of the river and slowly docked. At the same time, there are also a large number of vehicles on the shore converging from all directions.

"After not returning to the capital for a long time, the style of Gyeonggi is really different. I thought that the wasteland after the chaos should be difficult to return to the old view. I don't realize what I see today, it's far better than in the past! ”

On the big ship, Shen Chong raised his head and looked into the distance, although there were not many people near the wharf, but the line of sight crossed the left, but he could see the distant warehouses and mansions, as for Jiankang City, as far as the field of vision could see, there was almost no idle land.

A person next to him said with a smile after hearing this: "If it is someone else, it should be said that it should be." But it is really difficult for people to make a sigh. Today's grand occasion is not built by the hands of a second person. The horse was trained by the famous father, and it had to be used in the imperial court, and it was beneficial to the north and south, which was really a great help at that time, and a great contribution to the community! ”

When Shen Chong heard this, he was already clapping his hands and laughing, and even the armor pieces on his body collided and resonated, showing that he was in a very happy mood: "Zhongdao's words made me feel embarrassed. Father and son are divided between the north and the south, and I really don't know much about the benefits of children. But as long as you can live up to the king's responsibility, it will be the glory of the family. Such praise is really too much. ”

"The gentleman is too modest, the reputation is shallow, and it is difficult to describe the virtuous man and the gentleman. For example, in this rural misfortune, thanks to the good preservation of the horses, the people of our country can endure the pain and sorrow, and dare to look forward. Otherwise, the countryside and mulberry fields will be destroyed, farming and weaving will be difficult, many people will be scattered, and the township will be gone. ”

The person who opened his mouth to speak, his name is He Yin, he is a wealthy and wealthy family in Nankang, and he is also an old acquaintance with Shen Chong.

When Shen Chong heard this, his eyes flashed, and then he turned his head to look at the other people on the boat, and as far as he could see, those people also spoke up and praised the horse.

Most of these people are wealthy clans in Jiangzhou, and even some of them have a stronger reputation in the countryside than the Shen family in the early years, such as He Yin, who was also a local tyrant sect who was mostly attracted by Wang Dun in his early years, and his deceased brother He Qin was originally in an official position under Wang Dun that was even one level higher than Shen Chong. When Shen Chong came to the top, there was even a lot of discord between them, and they were very unconvinced.

But now these super-rich families are all gathered around Shen Chong, and there is no lack of sycophancy, praising his son, and highly respecting Shen Chong himself.

These people will have such a humble posture, of course, not all because the Shen family is powerful now. After all, the foundation of the Shen family is in Wuzhong, even if Shen Chong led his troops into Jiangzhou this time, he would stop at Poyang, which was agreed in advance, and he could not drive straight in. Therefore, no matter how strong the Shen family is, it is difficult to force these people to bow low and be small at the moment. After all, the big guy in Jiangzhou on the table is Tao Kan now, and the Shen family is just a passerby.

The reason for this state of affairs is due to Shen Zhezi's earlier arrangement, which is to sell insurance.

In the past, these families in Jiangzhou were brought into the capital by huge profits, ignoring Wang Shu's history of thorns, which made the relationship between them deteriorate. So much so that as soon as Wang Shu waited for the opportunity, he ruthlessly attacked these local forces, which directly triggered a series of subsequent changes. Earlier, these families fled en masse and colluded with other towns to force Wang Shu to death, but it does not mean that they are unscathed.

The so-called strong troops crossing the border, no meat has to squeeze out three points of oil. Although Wang Shu died, so that these people did not have the scourge of killing, but at the same time, the family business was lost, and it was not easy to repeat the old view?

Tao Kan, who entered Jiangzhou, is not a weak person, although he also has the need to connect with the Jiangzhou township, but now these Jiangzhou people's family business and people are under his control, even if they discuss and communicate in the future, they will definitely not have a low profile, and they will definitely make these people hemorrhage and make big concessions. After all, as a lesson from the past, Wang Shu's bones are still cold!

If there is no external intervention, no matter how strong Tao Kan is, these people can only endure it, and how much can they get back their family business. But now, the insurance business opened up by Shen Zhezi before the war gave them a possibility to protect their family business!

So when the Dongyang army withdrew and Shen Chong was about to enter the capital, a large number of Jiangzhou people flocked to follow the capital, and what they did was naturally to confirm what kind of attitude the Shen family had? Is there any sincerity to support them?

Shen Chong was still very upset because Wang Shu's suicide had ended the turmoil early, but he didn't expect that his son had already prepared an excuse for him to continue to intervene in Jiangzhou's affairs.

Uncle Fang, who is also guarding the same place, Shen Chong will definitely not have the concerns of Taifu Zhugong when facing Tao Kan. Although Tao Kan is now in charge of the two major towns of Jingzhou and Jiangzhou, his power is not far behind Wang Dun in the early years. But in Shen Chong's view, in fact, the bigger the more empty. If he really makes a bad deal because of this, he will definitely not be the one who is afraid to use force.

So along the way, Shen Chong also packed a lot of tickets for these demands of Jiangzhou people, and stabilized these people first, so that they didn't have to rush to surrender to Tao Kan.

Now that he heard He Yin say this, Shen Chong said with a smile: "The past is gone, and it is not appropriate to praise and disparage." However, this time Jiangzhou disaster, Wang Chuming is really to blame. Your family business is in the other, and it is really a disaster to be implicated in this. Even if I didn't have my child's previous agreement, I couldn't sit back and watch the families be displaced and pass on the inheritance. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be angry again: "Since I said this, I will see Xiao'er later, I will reprimand him severely!" Watching and helping each other, this is a deep friendship of the country, and the duty cannot be resigned, how can you make a contract to pay for wealth! After entering the capital, I will order the children to return the wealth and silk of each family immediately! ”

When the crowd heard this, they waved their hands again and again, saying no.

At this time, Hu Run, who followed Shen Chong back to the capital, knelt down in front of Shen Chong with a plop, bowed his head and said: "When you say this, you really misunderstood Lord Lang." The servants have been obedient to the Lang master for a long time, and if you dare to defend the Lang master, please defend one or two. ”

"A faithful servant."

Shen Chong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then laughed again: "Get up and speak, I also want to know why this kid is doing this." ”

Hu Run got up as soon as he spoke, and his demeanor was still respectful: "In the early years, when the villagers of Jiangzhou begged Lord Lang, Lord Lang already had this concern, worried that the situation in Jiangzhou would collapse, implicate all families, and wanted to help protect it, but it was far away. This time there was really a mess, and the owner of Lang had no choice but to take a compromise, hoping that each family could take a little inventory of the property and keep it in the register, so that it could be recovered in the future. But this matter is the privacy of the court, how can it be openly inquired. ”

When everyone heard this, their expressions were more or less embarrassed. The reason why the Hao clan can entrench in the township and eradicate it inexhaustibly is that it relies on all kinds of shade and encroachment, and how much family property there is, the remote descendants of the clan will not tell, and how can they easily tell outsiders.

"Lord Lang asked each family to take stock of the industry, with a little guarantee, one is to save a detailed item, and help each other in the future to be targeted. For this arrangement, it is not that they do not trust the villagers, but in fact, the countryside is intertwined, and the people who live in the countryside cannot be discerned, and the lord of Lang has never set foot in Jiangzhou. It was originally a righteous voice for the villagers, but it became a source of riots. ”

When Hurun said this, he took a deep breath and said: "People are born virtuous and stupid, and if they ask for a word in everything, they really can't convince the public. For example, the Han family, in the early years, was also a giant in the township, holding the good side, only because of the gap with the evil sect in the township, the court collapsed and the family business died. Because of this experience, Lang Jun did not want his good thoughts to be taken advantage of by the villains and turned into evil. ”

"In this way, Xiao'er can be considered stable and self-controlled, but I misunderstood him."

Shen Chong groaned slightly, then nodded slowly, turned his head to look at everyone, and said with a smile: "I don't know what you think of the hardships that my son and this protégé said?" ”

What can everyone say, they can only nod their heads and say great goodness. To tell the truth, they each have no lack of hidden worries, worried that there will be old enemies of the township sect who will take advantage of this chaos and take refuge in strongmen to attract foreign reinforcements and encroach on township capital.

However, there are still many people who show bitterness, after all, Shen Zhezi's so-called insurance premiums are really absurd in the eyes of people, and many people disdain it, only saying that the Shen family is using this to make money, and they don't believe that the Shen family has the ability to help them preserve or recover the property. Therefore, when Ren Qiu sold insurance earlier, only a few people subscribed, and there was no lack of perfunctory attitude.

At that time, the Shen family did not have a strong tendency to intervene in Jiangzhou's affairs, and they could not imagine that Shen Chong was so strong, so he actually led his troops directly into Jiangzhou. When the dust settled, the original perfunctory act turned out to be a hope for them. So many people who didn't buy insurance also got in, hoping to get some help, even if it didn't work in the end, there was no harm in trying.

And if the family property is recovered by the Shen family, there is another advantage, that is, there is no need to be naturalized and still remain in a state of shadow, after all, the Shen family is not the nominal ruler of Jiangzhou. However, if they themselves go directly to Tao Kan to ask for it, it is possible that these acres of people will be completely registered in the naturalization and can no longer be hidden. As a result, they will have to be subject to the state capital in the future.

Seeing the shocked and suspicious looks of those villagers, Hu Run couldn't help but sneer in his heart, he didn't have any nostalgia for these so-called villagers, although it was difficult for him to fully understand how Lord Lang would rectify these villagers in the future, but he knew that since they were tempted into the capital by the huge profits of Gyeonggi commerce, good days have become fewer and fewer.

"One of the reasons for asking for capital insurance is to urge the villagers to take stock of the industry as evidence of grievances in the future. The two are also because the mulberry forest grange is a fixed production, and it is naturally convenient to return. However, if the people, grain and silk are lost, it is really difficult to count and return. However, each family has been operating for many years, and the damage is not limited to the slightest. These guarantees, one is to gather the strength of the people to settle the loss, and the other is to preserve the vitality of each family, so as to rebuild it in the wasteland. ”

Speaking of this, Hurun said deeply: "Please make Jun Mingjian, Lord Lang Pusuo is really not greedy for temporary material gains, but I just hope to try my best to protect the hometown sects to calmly overcome this difficulty." Master Lang is wise and far-sighted, and the servants have only seen one or two, and many deep meanings are really unreachable. ”

When Shen Chong heard this, he was already stroking his palms and laughing, waving his hand to signal Hu Run to retreat, and then said with a smile to everyone: "Xiao'er's thinking has been planned, you also know a little bit now, and now you can be regarded as at ease?" There is no doubt about it, and it is effective. There is a previous covenant, and it is never negative. My father and son reigned for one day, and you have no worries! ”

When everyone heard this, no matter what they felt in their hearts, they all thanked them in unison. Especially some of them who plan to fish in troubled waters, they can't help but seriously consider it at this time, whether they need to pursue insurance again?

Shen Chong saw everyone's state like this, and his mood couldn't help but be more cheerful. As long as he maintains a deeper connection with these Jiangzhou Haozong, no matter who sits in Jiangzhou in the future, Jiangzhou will always be just a sieve full of leaky eyes in front of his family!

It wasn't long before the big ship finally approached the dock, and the people who had been waiting on the shore for a long time also approached one after another. Although Shen Chong entered the capital a few days earlier than the date specified in the edict, there were always people waiting in this vicinity, and as soon as he found out that his people had arrived, he immediately flew back to the city.

The people who came here in a hurry were still waiting for Shen Chong to get off the boat after getting out of the car, and suddenly there was a sound of agitation from the rear, and when they looked back, they saw that a huge guard of honor was coming here, and they hurriedly turned back to let their families pull the car and get out of the way.

The honor guard soon arrived in front of the dock, and more than 100 swordsmen surrounded the two carts and continued to move forward, until they found out that the eldest princess of Danyang and the king of Langya were in the car. The eldest princess came to greet the family, and everyone could understand it, but King Langya actually came here to greet her, which was really unexpected by everyone.

Shen Chong naturally saw this scene on the boat, and immediately did not dare to hold it up, first resigned from the Jiangzhou family that accompanied him, and then hurriedly got off the boat surrounded by family soldiers and guards.

Princess Xingnan had already changed to the chariot, surrounded by the left near step screen, and only bowed down when she was close, and said: "Ah Weng entered the capital, and the husband was originally far away, but he had no choice but to be trapped in Taicheng." The bride came to worship in fear, and begged to be guilty. ”

Shen Chong hurriedly greeted him, motioned to the maid to quickly pick up the princess, and said with a smile: "How can furniture exceed public duties, inferior sons are stupid, fortunately a good couple and virtuous women, the court door is harmonious, and it is also the luck of the family." ”

As he spoke, King Langya on the other side also stepped forward. This time Shen Chong was not good at holding up, tidying up his appearance and then approaching him, just about to bow down to see him, King Langya had already taken refuge beside the road, and said: "Before leaving, the queen mother has an order, Xiao Wang greeted Linhai Gong with his sister, neither a court meeting, nor an edict, Linhai Gong does not have to perform a salute." ”

As he spoke, he himself bowed first.

When the onlookers saw this scene, they couldn't help but talk about it again and again. Although the current king of the sect is in decline, the king of Langya is different from others, he is the son of the first emperor, the king's concubine, although he is still young, but his status is respected, and he actually has to pay tribute to Shen Chong first, which is really shocking. In the past, there was this kind of treatment, but it was the high election of the current situation and the exemplary reputation of the times!

Shen Chong was greeted by this special gift, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, although he was a little regretful that he couldn't see his son for the first time, but his mood was still excited.

In the past ten years, he was just a local tyrant in Wuzhong, a lackey of the power family, not known for his reputation, he was often ignored, and he could collapse at any time, and there was not much difference from the panicked Jiangzhou tyrants on the ship behind. If he really made a mess with Wang Dun in his early years, even if he could succeed, he would have to be guarded against and excluded, and it was more likely that he would have been hidden by the birds.

But now, he is in charge of the southeast and his power is high, and even the prince and king have to be respectful when they see him. The flow of opportunities makes people sigh!

As soon as he thought of this, he was even more eager to see his eldest son, who had breathed new life and vitality into the family.
