Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 372
Shen Zhezi left Jiankang district for more than ten days, and when he came back, 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 out, and many villagers whose homes have been destroyed live in temporary shanties in some enclosed areas. Difficult, but the basic order is still established.

"These villagers suffered innocently. In the future, the imperial court will have a hard time spending money. It is really difficult to provide comprehensive relief. At present, many official registers of Taichung palaces and temples have been destroyed in the chaos, and it is difficult to send them back to their homes. So in the next period of time, we will need Weizhou's help to clean up the wasteland near the outskirts of Beijing, and resettle these homeless villagers in Zuojin counties and townships as soon as possible."

Although Director Wang still doesn't know what Shen Zhezi's intentions are, he can see that Shen Zhezi really has the intention to help him maintain the stability of the situation in Gyeonggi, so he is no longer polite and said directly.

Shen Zhezi also nodded after hearing the words: "Please rest assured, the Taibao. The situation is such that the people's livelihood is the national economy. Only when there are fields and acres in sight can people's hearts truly settle down. The younger generation also knows that it is not easy to stabilize chaos and maintain stability. There are many difficult points, and the Taibao will take care of them immediately, and this junior will never dare to neglect."

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

Everything that can make people stronger will eventually form constraints in turn.These words are applicable to anyone, including Director Wang and Shen Zhezi himself.Director Wang's fame and status today have nothing to do with his family background, so whatever he wants to do and what plans he has, he will look at it from the perspective of a senior family.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 repeatedly confronted and even threatened, causing Director Wang to make concessions.Then you have to turn around and show some kindness and help to Director Wang.For example, Wang Dao just said about clearing wasteland and resettling refugees, but to be honest, where is there any wasteland around Gyeonggi?
The aristocratic families are all-pervasive, and the land that can be occupied and embezzled has already been secured.If you want to clear enough land, you can only use some tough methods.Langya Wang's performance in the process of suppressing the rebellion was very clumsy.The brothers of the Yu family kept their square inches and guarded the platform, holding the last front.The Wu people group headed by the Shen family suddenly emerged again and stood firm.All these form a stark contrast, which makes people have more ideas about the future.

If Director Wang uses a tough attitude and means to seize the land from those big clans at this time, it is very likely to provoke even greater resistance and backlash. Less than recovery.

But Shen Zhezi is different. His family is a rising new rich, and the momentum is fierce.When it is not a necessary moment of life and death, few people will rush to have a direct conflict with him at this time.Then Shen Zhezi has some leeway here, and since he entered the capital, his attitude has always been very domineering, which will make people feel taboo. Shen Zhezi can win enough land to resettle the people.

When Shen Zhezi did this, he naturally had his considerations. Success would make people blind and arrogant, and the interest circle centered on his family was no exception.Will someone get carried away by the victory and feel that they can go further and strive for more?Of course, an interest group must be aggressive enough to bring enough benefits to those who participate in it, so that the structure can be more stable and the maintenance can be closer.But how many people know the truth when enough is enough?
When Shen Zhezi was in Qu'a a few days ago, Yu Yi wrote to ask a question, saying that Lu Ye and others have been quite active in Xingtai recently.Although he still abides by etiquette on the surface, he frequently meets with many Wuzhong families in private.If Shen Zhezi guessed correctly, then they were secretly planning to move the capital.

If you don't consider the situation in the North, and don't consider the future Northern Expedition, even Shen Zhezi admits that moving the capital is a good choice for the current Jiangdong.Now Jiankang is dilapidated, and Jiangbei is no longer in danger. If the capital remains in Jiankang, not only Jiankang will have to be rebuilt, but Jiangbei will also have to start from scratch. Besides, there are many problems.Not to mention the manpower problem, the imperial court simply cannot afford it in terms of financial resources alone.

But if the capital is moved to Jiangdong, the great river will block it, and the pressure on the border defense will be relieved to a certain extent. On the other hand, it will be directly nourished by Wu's money and food, which will help to establish order as soon as possible.But in this way, the imperial court may just nest in Jiangdong or Wuzhong, and the prospects will be even more worrying.

If they leave Jiankang and widen the distance with Jingzhou, this 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 exile commanders in Huaibei will inevitably drift away from the imperial court. Instead of being able to help, 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 cards of the Shen family's forces.Shen Zhezi's current toughness largely comes from the support of Wu people, and he cannot ignore Wu people's views on this matter.

It is absolutely impossible to move, but Shen Zhezi can't speak out against it, so he has to help Director Wang maintain this bottom line.For the benefits he deserves, Shen Zhezi will not be soft-hearted or give in. His advantage over others is that he knows where the line is and knows where to stop.It is true that shrinking and forbearance make people feel sad, but if you blindly advance, you will be exhausted, and there must be a time for digestion and buffering.

The northern and southern Gaomen are all bad breeds, people with the Qiao surname are not good things, and Wu people are even worse.Of course, this quality does not refer to one's character, but to see whether it is good or bad for the current situation.Wu people will not be better than overseas Chinese when they run the country, and they may even be worse.Even if Shen Zhezi directly enters Taicheng as the ruling boss now, he is still powerless to calm down and resolve those long-standing conflicts.

Even if you don't consider the major issues of right and wrong, simply considering your own interests, moving the capital is not a good thing.The Shen family's greatest contribution to Wuzhong is to lead the villagers to fight for and build up the Wu people's own army. If the capital move is successful, those who advocate the capital move will gain great reputation among the Wu people, surpassing what the Shen family has already obtained. Glory.Moreover, the Shen family will have to bear the pressure of the civil war that may occur in the future.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi and Wang Dao are now on the same road. Although their positions are not the same, their goals are the same.Director Wang can't be tough now, so Shen Zhezi can only take this responsibility.

Speaking of this step, Shen Zhezi no longer concealed his intentions, so he suggested to Director Wang in the car: "Xingtai was originally established as an expedient to calm the chaos. Now that the chaos is about to be settled, it is not appropriate for His Majesty the Empress Dowager to stay outside the capital for a long time. As a result, it is not conducive to the stability of the situation. The junior feels that when to go to the Xingtai to meet the Empress Dowager, it should be decided in the near future."

The world is so paradoxical, the empress dowager was planned and arranged by Shen Zhezi, and now she is anxious to welcome her back.In the early days, his family was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and they only wanted to make progress.Now that it has become an important party in the current situation, it has to consider the reconstruction and maintenance of order.

"That's why I said to Wei Zhou just now that it is time to invite Mr. Tao into the capital. Now that he is the governor of the counter-insurgency, his wishes can best convince others."

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

Although Shen Zhezi had already retreated to Stone City, and he was quite ready to retire, but there are still many things that need Shen Zhezi's help, so Director Wang can't bypass Shen Zhezi and call Tao Kan directly.Once Tao Kan enters the capital, Shen Zhezi's authority will naturally be covered, which is tantamount to directly surrendering Shen Zhezi's power.Before the Xingtai was officially dismantled and the empress dowager and others returned to the capital, Director Wang could not ignore Shen Zhezi's feelings.

Moreover, after Tao Kan's army approached Gyeonggi, they only garrisoned outside, and he himself did not take the initiative to ask to enter the capital to guard the city.It can be seen that Tao Kan is also very measured right now, even scrupulous.For Director Wang, many essences can be seen through appearances.Tao Kan's scruples can't be that Shen Zhezi, a junior, didn't go directly to the capital. It should be that he has reached some agreement or tacit agreement with Shen Chong from East Yangzhou.

Under such a situation, it is naturally impossible for Director Wang to be a bad guy in vain and win over Tao Kan to suppress a junior.Besides, he may not be able to win Tao Kan's support.In addition to state affairs, at Tao Kan's age, he should think more about heirs.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 for those officials who couldn't discern the facts and tried to use Tao Kan's power to suppress Shen Zhezi.I'm afraid these people still don't understand why they were driven back to the capital after they waited for others to stay in the Jingzhou army, and then turned around and fell into the hands of Shen Zhezi who had just been offended by them!

In this matter, Director Wang also benefited. Those ministers were trapped in the stone city, and there was no noise in their ears. Many things were much more convenient to deal with, and there were fewer unnecessary disputes.After all, if he wants to stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi as soon as possible, it will inevitably damage the direct interests of these ministers.Now those people are still trapped in the stone city, without a prominent figure, these people don't dare to resist too much.

When the team was moving forward, there was a sudden commotion in front of them. Several people jumped out from behind the broken wall, smashed past a group of old guard soldiers, and rushed directly in front of the car.

"Protect the Taibao, Prince Consort!"

Seeing this, Shen Zhezi's personal soldiers rushed forward one after another, showing their murderous intent.

"Don't get me wrong, don't... I am an old concubine, and I will never dare to harm my concubine..."

Seeing that the sword was about to approach, one of the young men hurriedly waved his hand to show that he did not have a weapon, and then he was thrown into the dust and shouted at the car driver: "Please see me! I am Zhang Mu of Danyang ...I beg my son-in-law..."

　Before 12 o'clock, there will be another update.In the past two days, I really feel emotional. I am about to stand up. Life is the hardest. Maybe I have accumulated a bit, but I have to bear more social responsibilities.This age is the one that least needs sharpness and persistence. You must have a more humble attitude in order to gain more kindness and support.Of course I'm not talking about me, I'm still very young.Come on, old guys. . .
