After Shen Zhezi and others rushed in, the crowd of onlookers was already in chaos, and when the successors Cai Mo, Wen Chong and others arrived, it was already a few hours later.

The army was stationed in the camp that had already been prepared, and Cai Mo and the others accompanied the ministers who came to greet them to the place where they were going. Because the welcoming people were too enthusiastic to delay the trip, it is now twilight, and it is no longer good to go to the audience, so we can only wait for tomorrow. However, everyone is not without nothing to do, in addition to saying goodbye to each other, there are also too many information and ideas to communicate with each other, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

It's just that when he went on the road again, Shen Zhezi was made to cry and laugh again by his mother-in-law's oversized arrangement. The Empress Dowager personally arranged the Siwang car, the sword guard of honor, and the Bao Yu advocacy, all in accordance with the specifications of the king. Even if he hasn't had time to meet the Queen Mother yet, through this series of arrangements, Shen Zhezi can feel that this mother-in-law's love for him has climbed to a new level.

However, everything is too much. There is no psychological obstacle for Shen Zhezi to accept such a thing as a person with more than 2,000 stones, but this group of guys is firmly in the rear, and now they take steps to greet themselves, of course Shen Zhezi will not have any burden. However, Zong Wang's Yijia is a little conspicuous, which will make people have too many unnecessary associations.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi did not use this set of honor guards, but just followed the honor guards with everyone.

The night is getting thicker, and under the half-moon sky, the entire Yanshan Manor is shrouded in a bright light, as bright as day. After the group entered the manor, they went straight into a large banquet hall, where rich wine and food had already been prepared, and there were mermaids entering, and soon there were songs and laughter, and silk and bamboo fluttering.

Shen Zhezi listened to some of the praise and praise of himself in the banquet, and gradually felt a little bored, and after sitting for a while, he got up and left. Originally, as the protagonist of this time, it was a bit rude for him to leave early, but when he returned earlier, there was such a scene, and everyone knew that there was a beautiful lady in his family who thought about the monarch and dared to use force directly, but it was not good to keep his voice again, and he left after a few jokes.

Surrounded by a group of guards, Shen Zhezi returned to his family's residence in the manor. Because there was only one fuss in the previous two days, this time he did not disturb too many family members, only the princess wore a pink short veil and several maids welcomed him into the house.

As soon as you step into the door, the most conspicuous thing is the many gifts placed in the courtyard door, many large boxes wrapped in silk brocade are piled up in the courtyard, and there is almost nowhere to stand.

Seeing Shen Zhezi's somewhat surprised expression, Princess Xingnan smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she took Shen Zhezi's hand and said with a smile: "My husband's husband has made contributions to the field, and he is famous in the world, and the concubines and other courts are not allowed to be idle, and the prosperity of my family's courtyard is better than that of many markets in the city, and the threshold will be broken!" What the husband saw was only a part, and there were several other warehouses, which were piled up early. ”

As she spoke, Princess Xingnan grabbed Shen Zhezi's wrist and walked lightly to the back house, and ordered someone to open the houses on the left. No sooner had the door been pulled back than a pile of fine silk satin rolled out. Shen Zhezi stood at the door and looked inside, only to see a large number of brocade boxes and wooden boxes piled up in the room, almost past the beams!

When the princess presented the list of thick gifts that had been sorted out, Shen Zhezi flipped through it for a moment and couldn't help but smile. The name of his family's wealth is not without benefits, that is, he does not dare to come to the door for idle gifts, and many entries on this list are based on cars!

Since the Liyang Rebellion, Shen Zhezi has completely let go of family affairs, and at this time, looking at this thick gift list, you can feel the changes in your family's position in the current situation from the date. The first peak period for the introduction of these gifts was when the Empress Dowager arrived in Jingkou Xingtai for the first time, and although there were many gift-givers at that time, it was not an exaggeration. Although there are very few mundane things such as money and silk, many elegant toys can also be marked with "pieces".

The second peak period was created in Dongyangzhou, at this time the number of gifts soared, and the types were no longer elegant weapons, focusing on bows, swords and armor, when this part of the gifts were introduced, Shen Zhezi was still in Beijing, so he took advantage of the situation, part of it was sent to Huiji, and the other part was directly armed with a group of tribes around him.

The craziest time was when Shen Zhezi recovered Jiankang, and the amount on the book alone was not enough to show how red and purple the Shen family was at that time. In the words of the princess, every day she is so busy that her feet do not touch the ground, and when she opens her eyes, she has to receive visitors, and carries many gifts into the house, and in addition to simple goods, there are still a large number of maidservants and maids. So much so that the princess suspected that these gift-givers could not afford to support so many families, so they took the opportunity to send them to his house.

Of course, Shen Zhezi had no chance to see those beautiful maids and the like, some of them were taken away by Shen Ke and used to marry many shady households who had no spouses in the family, and the other part was directly packed and sent to the queen mother. King Langya alone accepted more than 30 maids from the princess, if it weren't for the fact that this kid was taken care of by the queen mother, and relied on his money alone, I was afraid that he would be so poor that he couldn't drink porridge like Shen Mu.

Of course, after this peak period, the situation fell back again, until Shen Zhezi returned a few days ago and made a fuss in the southern suburbs of Jingkou. As a result, the number of gifts received in just a few days has far exceeded the number of previous months!

This is also very understandable, in the past, those people came to the door, but it was just the icing on the cake to join in the fun. But in the past few days, with Yu Yi's attitude suddenly becoming stronger, coupled with the hustle and bustle of accompanying the capital, how can those who have already shown signs of betrayal be at ease, in order to avoid settling accounts after the autumn, they are really desperate to give gifts to the Shen family!

In this way, the gifts received in the past half a year have been accumulated, and there are more than 60 million yuan that can be calculated on the books alone! As for those treasures and antiquities, they can't calculate the specific value at all!

What is this concept? Shenjia Nanyuan is so famous in the capital, and the turnover in two years is only so much! And this figure also includes the cost of labor, freight, materials, etc.

With Shen Zhezi entering the capital, the affairs of Shang Meng and Yinjue here are gradually letting go, and it is difficult to fully grasp the details even if they only care about the outline. But just from this gift list, he can already imagine that in the past few years, these people in Jingkou have really been fed rich!

It is not surprising that when you think about it, people used to say that in business, collusion between officials and businessmen is the method of profiteering. However, in the current atmosphere, coupled with the unique environment of Jingkou, it is no longer the collusion of officials and businessmen at all, but the officials who directly roll up their sleeves and go out to do it!

If it weren't for the accumulation of such abundant capital, those people in Jingkou would not have been so eager to go further, such as a long time, being lured by someone hooking their fingers, the sky and thunder hooked the earth, and the love affair was hot!

Seeing that Shen Zhezi was stunned, Princess Xingnan bit her red lips lightly and whispered: "Shen Zhezi, so many gifts, do we all have to accept them?" Will this provoke too much controversy? Those people have been really crazy these days, sending gifts to their families in cars. The platform is near the left, and the eyes of the people are mixed, otherwise, or let's return a few cars......"

Seeing this little girl's face tangled, worried and reluctant, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be happy, he gently closed the list of gifts, and said with a smile: "Just a hundred and ten horses, I dare to go straight to Jiankang, will I still be frightened by this mere wealth?" Relax, if they dare to send it, my family will dare to accept it! There are thousands of mansions, can't there be one or two belongings? ”

"Shen Zhezi, you are really heroic!"

Princess Xingnan held her cheeks with both hands, her eyes were already shining with a little starlight, she didn't have any chic hobbies for money, but since the things had arrived at her house, she felt that it was her own thing, and it was always a pity to send it back for no reason.

Shen Zhezi didn't plan to be a flawless pure minister at all, and besides, this world is as inappropriate as a eunuch discussing the techniques in the room. Besides, in order to recover Jiankang, his family's Nanyuan was burned, and Shen Zhezi was clear about the current situation in the treasury, and he didn't have to think about reimbursement at all.

Who dares to say more in front of him that he accepted bribes and the like, then Shen Zhezi really wants to go and burn down that person's house first, and then come back to reason with him!

Moreover, the so-called bribery is the use of his position to seek improper benefits for others, and Shen Zhezi has never held any ministry in Jingkou. Even if others are red-eyed, they can only lament that their popularity is not good, and anything else is nonsense!

Through this incident, Shen Zhezi also realized that these people in Jingkou were completely fattened, and they should indeed harvest a batch. As early as on the way here, he had already discussed with Yu Tiao, taking advantage of the turmoil in Kyoguchi, to reduce the establishment of the Hidden Jue and make room for other families to join.

Moreover, with the promotion of Jingkou to the capital, it is also possible to allow some people who are eager to seek political progress to exchange their wealth for political resources, release the amount of donations, and by the way, accumulate some resources for the use of the capital, as well as the reconstruction of Jiankang City.

Rather than letting those who seek to get into the rich and poor families be isolated from the ruling class, it is better to give them an opening, which can increase the centripetal force of these people. Moreover, the practice of delegating people to be willful in order to clear their names is not as clean and useful as directly selling officials in the final analysis!

It is dangerous to isolate the inferior and the poor from the ruling class. The reason why the Eastern Jin Dynasty perished was because the family was declining day by day, and these families were becoming stronger and stronger. The Heavenly Master Dao uprising in later generations, to put it bluntly, was essentially a riot set off by a group of inferior portals who were not satisfied with their political status, and if it was simply an uprising of the poor, it would not have caused so much harm. And the essence of Beifu, the military head group, is the same, but the military capability is more powerful.

And taking a step back, even if the election of officials is extremely corrupt, as long as the army is not chaotic, it can contact people of insight in the family to overturn the official law and start over. The family not only has old honors and fame, but also family learning, and in the current academic monopoly, the imperial examination is not to oppose them, but to exert a layer of protection on their way to enter politics!

Of course, all this is not a simple matter, and it cannot be achieved overnight, Shen Zhezi knows very well that only by getting more and more pragmatic support from the people of the time in the north can it be possible to overwhelm the increasingly absurd and absurd trend of Jiangdong. If you just do it yourself in Jiangdong behind closed doors, it will only make the already lacking vitality even more loss, and there will be no more power to look north.
