Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 52
When it entered October, it was already late autumn and near winter.

The dead are gone, and the living must continue.

No matter how strong the sadness is, it will decay.Shen Zhezi experienced Ji Zhan's funeral from beginning to end, small coffin, big coffin, morning and evening mourning, coffin moving, Yu sacrifice, and finally the death cry.It has been more than a month since the whole process was completed.

During this process, what Shen Zhezi felt the most was not the torment of heavy etiquette, but the sensitivity and sadness of the scholars nowadays, and their unrestrained indulgence in it.

Ji Zhan enjoyed a high reputation during his lifetime, and his funeral was even more sensational among the three Wu states.Many people rushed thousands of miles to pay their respects, and the sound of howling and crying was heard in the wild. What's more, some people vomited blood and cried, mourning day and night.

Shen Zhezi is also very sad, but there are many ways to express his grief. This kind of unrestrained catharsis is not so much nostalgia for the dead, but rather a feeling for himself.Since you know that the world is difficult and life is not easy, you should encourage yourself. What is the benefit of long-term indulgence?
After the death has finished crying, there are still many people who come to express their condolences, but it is an even heavier emotional burden on the relatives of the deceased.Shen Zhezi saw that Ji You changed from a young man in prime of life to haggard and thinner day by day. He was also malnourished due to the restraint of diet during the mourning period. He was almost unable to stand still. Occasional fainting and unconsciousness.

This is no longer a funeral, but a torture to oneself.Shen Zhezi couldn't bear to see Ji You continue to be depressed like this, and planned to invite him to go to Wuxing with him, so that a change of environment could also relieve his mood.

However, the ceremony of beheading the decline does not move the room during the Xiaoxiang period of the funeral. Ji You abides by the ancient etiquette and rejects Shen Zhezi's kindness.Unable to persuade Shen Zhezi repeatedly, he had no choice but to give up.Fortunately, Ge Hong stayed in the Ji Mansion to take care of him, so he felt relieved.

So, after finishing the funeral, Shen Zhezi was going to return to Wuxing.

Before leaving, there are still many things to explain and prepare.

First of all, Shen Zhezi asked the people of the Xizong clan to help him buy a piece of land along the Qinhuai River. In the future, he would frequently travel between Jiankang and Wuxing, and needed a place to stay.Although Shen's house can be lived in, it is a family property after all, and there are too many people living there, so many things are inconvenient to do.

What's more, Jiankang City is still in its early stages of development and dismantling, and buying a property is relatively simple. It is much more convenient to enclose a piece of land first, no matter what it will be used for in the future.

The next step is the confession of favors, and Shen Zhezi's key visit is still Yu Yi.Although Nanshi's father's ascension is largely due to the strength of Nanshi, Nanshi's internal interest disputes are very complicated, and without the support of his master Ji Zhan's popularity in the future, it is best to build his own personal connections.

Yu Yi had many disappointments in the court, and he already had plans in his heart to seek a foreign post.However, with Shen Zhezi's persuasion and goodwill, this idea was dispelled, and he made up his mind to stay in Jiankang and Shen Chong to support each other.After all, even if he is a foreigner, it is impossible for him to obtain such a prestigious and important position for a while.

Knowing that Shen Zhezi was leaving, Yu Tiao planned to go with him.The planning of Yinjue's pension has been formulated, but the promotion effect in Jiankang is not very optimistic.The main reason is that the overseas Chinese who can gain a foothold in Jiankang are either rich or expensive, and they always have reservations about trust and people.So Yu Tiao plans to go back to Jinling, not only to take care of the family business, but also to develop his ambitions.

On the day when he officially left Jiankang, nearly a hundred people came to see Shen Zhezi off.Although most of them are casual acquaintances, it also shows that Shen Zhezi already has some contacts and has already integrated into this era.

The only thing that made Shen Zhezi unhappy was that the sensitivity and sadness of the people nowadays were revealed in all aspects, and it was just a farewell. Moreover, everyone was not very familiar with each other, so many people rubbed their eyes red.In this chilling autumn wind, the atmosphere is even more sad. If someone who doesn't know the inside story passes by, they will think that a group of people are here to worship the dead.

People from the north are heroic and people from the south are sad, which probably started here.Until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this trend still did not weaken.Shen Zhezi really wanted to chant, "A confidant in the sea is like neighbors in the world, and Wuwei is in the crossroads to share the towel with his children."But in the end it's all for nothing, there's no point in showing off, and looking at those sad and sad guys, you may not be able to appreciate this free and easy heroic mood.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Shen Zhezi and Yu Tiao set out on the road together.This time, there is no need to follow the land route. Board the boat from the Qinhuai River, turn to the Qingxi River, detour to the north of Health City, and then enter the channel of the Yangtze River to Jingkou.

This time in Jiankang for several months, Shen Zhezi has gained a lot, not to mention the large amount of invisible inheritance given to him by his master Ji Zhan on his deathbed, just by hearing and seeing a lot, he has a deeper understanding of this era.Especially after going deep into the inner garden of Taicheng, seeing the emperor, the supreme leader, and Yu Liang, an important minister in charge of Taiwan Province, I have a deep understanding of the top leadership circle, no longer just superficial cognition, and Conceptual summary.

The ancients were not stupid, each had his own plans.However, many calculations were combined and blended together, and the final result presented was not the best situation.Being in the present and being in it, I can feel this kind of helplessness and paradox even more.

If there is still a little regret, it is that I did not get to see Director Wang.In the situation at the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, if there was one person who played an indispensable role, that person was Wang Dao.

Constrained by his own structure, Wang Dao may not have any incomparably exciting feats, but just like the spring breeze turns rain, moistening things silently.The so-called merit of prosperity and ruin is that in the ruins, through strong personal charm and sophisticated political skills, the fragmented Han Guozuo was glued together, and the legal system and justice since the Qin and Han Dynasties were preserved.

Based on this alone, Wang Dao deserves to be No.1 in Nandu.Shen Zhezi still regretted not being able to witness Wang Dao's demeanor with his own eyes.But there are always opportunities in the future, so there is no need to rush.Shen Zhezi had a hunch that he and Director Wang would eventually see each other and hate each other.

Most of the nearly 20 plays that followed Shen Zhezi to Jiankang had already been repatriated. Now Shen Zhezi is considered light and easy to follow. Apart from a few maids who take care of daily life, there are only more than [-] Longxi soldiers guarding him.

On the contrary, Yu Tiao was very aggressive, and a group of friends who had made friends in Jiankang City were encouraged by his words, ready to go with him to Jinling to show his grand plans, servants and so on, and a few passenger ships barely accommodated them.

Although the construction of the five-level and three Jin Jin was just done by Shen Zhezi casually, he had a lot of expectations for it.As for how much energy can be conceived, it depends on the specific promotion effect.Shen Zhezi didn't intend to intervene prematurely, and let Yu Tiao do it after completing the theoretical framework.

On the one hand, Yu Tiao does have such a crooked talent, on the other hand, he was born in this era and can adapt to the current situation. In terms of details, he is more ingenious than the forward-looking Shen Zhezi.

But this does not mean that Shen Zhezi has completely lost control. Once such a scam becomes large-scale, the loopholes will become bigger and bigger.It is difficult to control Yu Tiao, so I still ask Shen Zhezi to come here.At that time, it will be the time for Shen Zhezi to officially pick peaches, and he can take back the initiative from Yu Tiao little by little.

Nowadays, it is already a wave of autumn harvest, boats and boats on the big river come and go frequently, and most of the transportation is food and cloth.Shen Zhezi didn't know the previous situation, but according to what the boatman said, the scale of grain transportation this year was much smaller than in previous years.The meaning behind it is that due to the impact of the military disaster, this year is not a good year, and famine may spread.

Although Shen Zhezi was worried about this, but based on his own imagination, he really couldn't think of any good plan for disaster relief.I can only comfort myself with the historical knowledge in my mind. The hardship is only for a while, and it will not become a disaster and cause strong turmoil in the current situation.

When the boat arrived at Jingkou, the scene was even more chaotic than that of Jinling.

Although Jingkou is close to Dajiang, it is not the frontier to resist the Hulu.The so-called guarding the river must be Huai. Although the situation in Huaibei was corrupted by the Jiehu Nankou at the beginning of the year, thanks to the efforts of many militiamen and Huaibei Wubi masters, coupled with the turmoil in the north, the situation has eased, and the military disaster has not continued to spread.

Moreover, the river near Jingkou is forty miles wide, and the northern Jiehu has no means to cross south to invade.Therefore, it has become the most stable place along the Dajiang River, and it is also the preferred habitat for refugees traveling south.Jingkou has been used as an internal town to balance the confrontation between Yangzhou and Jingzhou since the official operation of the Gaoping Xi family and was brought into the order of the imperial court.

At this time, Xi Jianshang was serving as the official secretary in the court, and he was the most important minister of the emperor, and he had not yet guarded Jingkou.At this time, Jingkou was still under the control of Liu Xia, the new governor of Xuzhou, but Liu Xia's residence was still in Huaiyin, Jiangbei, and it was not as important as Su Jun, who was directly placed in the key point of Liyang Xifan.

Shen Zhezi felt the chaos in Jingkou even before the boat docked.The ferries along the river are all controlled by tyrants, and bamboo fences are set up to collect taxes on the passengers and cargo of passing ships.The boat that Shen Zhezi and the others were on lingered on the river for a long time, but it was difficult to dock!

Yu Tiao felt that he still had some face, and wanted to negotiate with him.However, those refugee leaders who gathered together to make a fuss had the demeanor of disowning their relatives, completely ignoring Yu Tiao's intimidation and threats, and even saw that there were many Gaoliang children on board, and there were many beautiful female relatives, and there was a faint tendency to use force to rob.

With such a chaotic appearance, everyone is helpless and can only cruise on the river, thinking about countermeasures.Shen Zhezi has a clear understanding of the violence of the human heart in troubled times. It is indeed pity that these refugees have been displaced from their homes by unreasonable disasters, but it is a bit hateful for them to pass their own suffering on to others.

Seeing that several small boats were approaching, Shen Zhezi directly ordered the soldiers of Longxi to fight back against the robbers.While feeling emotional in his heart, he didn't feel the need to morally condemn this group of strongmen. Only with such a fierce and hostile spirit can usable soldiers be born.The Beifu soldiers of later generations are mighty all over the world, and their background is probably the tigers and wolves in front of them.

Although he had this thought in his heart, Shen Zhezi didn't intend to feed the wolf with his body and let people raise flags and flags on the boat as a signal.Before leaving Jiankang, my father asked someone to bring a letter, saying that someone from Jingkou would take care of him.

It took nearly an hour after the flags were raised before there was any response from the shore. A large troop-carrying ship moved slowly towards this place, setting aside those bamboo sampans.When he got close, Shen Zhezi looked around and saw a military general standing upright on the bow of the ship. It was his father Shen Chong who had been separated for several months!

　There should have been three shifts yesterday, but it took too long to check the information.From a detailed and professional point of view, I tested whether it is feasible to make artificial rubber with soybean oil and alcohol. . .Alas, not much to say, let's clean up the pot. . .There are still two updates today, sorry sorry.
