Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 737
When the envoys from Huainan arrived in Duxia, the entire Jiankang city was already immersed in a sea of ​​joy and encouragement. No matter whether they were officials or officials, they were all celebrating Yingkou's great victory.

Jiankang City learned the news of Yingkou's great victory much earlier. Almost as soon as the Yingkou battle had a preliminary result, the news had flowed down the Tushui River to the capital. It was really because the people were very concerned about the progress of the Huainan war How attention is too high.

On the one hand, it is naturally because, as the host of the Huainan War, Shen Zhezi himself has a high reputation in the capital and has received a high degree of attention.Moreover, Huainan is the first place in the capital, and the situation of the battle will directly affect the safety of Jiangbiao Jiankang.

Moreover, at present, many families in the north and south have invested there, and there are many children of the tribe who directly joined the Huainan army to fight on the Huai River.The outcome of the war is not only related to the peril of the country and the prosperity of the country, but also to the family business.So naturally a large number of people are paying attention to the battle in Huainan all the time, and if there is any change, they will immediately report back to the capital.

And Shen Zhezi did live up to the attention and expectations of the people of the time. Since the Jienu army had not officially come to the south, Huainan has been reporting frequent successes, including the big victory in the sneak attack on the father of the city, which greatly inspired the hearts of Jiangdong.

Although Taichung has no lack of resentment towards Shen Zhezi, it is also happy to publicize the many achievements of the Huainan Army.

Jienu exhausted the country's soldiers and sent troops to the south, which caused great pressure on the current situation and people's hearts in Jiangdong.In addition to these psychological oppressions, since all the towns in the north of the river had to stockpile them for military supplies, prices in the east of the river soared, which directly affected the lives of the people.

Among them, Huainan was the most prominent, blatantly and intensified the use of Jiangdong's wealth and goods, and the people in the north and south were also willing to be bewitched by it, and took the initiative to send a large amount of money to Jiangbei, which exacerbated the shortage of Jiangdong civilians.In Jiankang, where the situation is the worst, prices have soared to more than [-] yuan per bucket of rice!
After Su Jun's rebellion, Shen Zhezi was in charge of disaster relief in Gyeonggi, and a large number of refugees were naturalized. At the same time, a considerable number of Danyang nobles were attacked, and they also suppressed the northern and southern families from sheltering Nading, so the number of Dingkou in Jiankang rose to the extreme in a short time. Sheng.

Moreover, due to the strong business atmosphere in Jiankang City in the past few years, the development of production functions around the entire capital can not keep up with the rapid increase in population. bigger.This situation can still be maintained when everything is calm inside and outside.

However, with the start of the war, the people's livelihood in Jiankang has become precarious, and people's food and clothing are scarce. Once news of a big defeat comes from Jiangbei, the people's hearts will become more turbulent, and the situation may collapse.

Faced with such a situation, the princes of Taiwan Province are also living in fear these days, sleepless nights.Although I was anxious in my heart, I could only be anxious, but in fact there was nothing I could do.They can't conjure up money and food out of thin air to stabilize prices. In the past, they could morally criticize those tycoons who hoarded for profit, but now the money and food have clearly gone.

Of course, there are also Taiwan-affiliated construction strategies that simply direct Taiwan orders to forcibly suppress prices, but as soon as this proposal was exported, it was almost rejected by everyone.

First of all, the shortage of materials is a fact, not an illusion created by profiteers. If prices are imposed, the most likely situation is that there will be no more grains of rice in the Jiankang market, and the original situation can be maintained. Will crash instantly!Moreover, it is conceivable that it is not unusual to be able to sell rice grains in this season, and it is difficult to force them.If it gets too stiff, it's self-defeating.

Secondly, apart from false orders, Taichung has no other effective means to control the market situation.Of course, there are still means, but it is difficult for them to intervene, and that is the Dingcang belonging to the Shaofu.

The reason why the livelihood of the people in Jiankang City has not yet collapsed, although the supply of supplies is in short supply, but there is still no shortage of food in the market, this is also due to the control of Dingcang.At present, almost all the funds used in the capital are almost all through the Dingcang channel.Through controlling multiple sources of goods, channels, and markets, Dingcang's functions have been expanded, and in terms of internal affairs, it has almost surpassed all government offices in Taiwan!
As the head of the Shaofu, Shen Ke even has a nickname of "Qing Shou" in Taiwan.In terms of etiquette, Shao Fuqing is certainly not the head of the Jiuqing.But in terms of the current impact on the current situation, what kind of headache does Shen Ke have? The impact on the current situation is even greater than Wang Chengxiang's serious illness.

The surge in Shen Ke's power seems to be sudden, but after careful consideration, there are actually traces to follow.First of all, there is a gradual change in the world style. The trend of traveling in Jiangdong is so strong that people are no longer keen on hoarding and storing, but on business for profit.

Dingcang is based on the huge market of Jiankang, and with the expansion of business routes, its influence has penetrated into every corner of Jiangdong.In ordinary times, Dingcang only acts as an escort for transactions and provides merchants with a convenient storage and transit medium.However, with the start of the war, the market demand increased greatly, but it was difficult for the folks who had the resources to put the materials directly on the market, and the importance of the vault as a connection between the two was highlighted.

The market needs to go through Dingcang to obtain supply, and merchants need to go through Dingcang to reach the market.The importance of Dingcang is self-evident.Of course, there is also the Wuzhong Commercial League with similar functions, but the commercial alliance itself has both regional and political attributes, and now it has become the main provider of military use in Huainan, so its impact on the market is not as good as Dingcang.

It is not that Taichung has no intention of taking back the Dingcang, but the Dingcang is a complex collection of interests, and the interests of all families belong to one department, and how to distribute the benefits is still difficult to determine.Moreover, although the Dingcang in the capital is an entity, its real significance lies in the cobweb-woven channel. How to completely receive it in Taichung is as difficult as bringing the affairs of many local counties into the center. possible tasks.

Even the entity in Tokyo, Taichung is difficult to accept, because Shen Chong is here!Although Shen Chong is not in Jiankang, more than 2 Dongyang troops are stationed in the capital. If they really want to rush into Jiankang, it is difficult to stop them.

As for why Taichung let Shen Chong go to the capital to sit in town, it is another bloody account.In the past year, Taiwanese capital was directly detained in Yuhang to delay entering the capital, and the salaries of Taiwanese ministers were even unsustainable.Later, although he stated his position to withdraw from the state, his actions were procrastinated, and he was still a cancer in the southeast.

As the war has turned severe this year, the Taiwanese ministers are also worried that this person will stay in Kuaijihui and then repeat his tricks to raise funds for his son. As a result, many poor Taiwanese ministers in Jiangdong who have little real estate income and are fully dependent on their salaries I'm afraid it's going to be a year-round meal for the whole family.Therefore, for them, the top priority is to let Shen Chong leave Kuaiji as soon as possible so that Taiwanese capital can arrive in the capital smoothly. As for the way of leaving, it is not within their consideration.

With the voices of these low-level Taiwan ministers, and there are many Wu people fanning the flames, even if the Taifu still has hesitation, it is really not good to ignore the wishes of the public. In addition, besides Shen Chong, there are really no good candidates to choose from.

So the situation evolved step by step to the current situation. Shen Chong left Kuaiji Township and rushed to the capital, while Jiangxia Gong Weichong went south to the county under the responsibility of Taifu Zhongwang.What exactly did Wei Chong do in Kuaiji, the benefits have not yet been felt in Taichung.But the harm of Shen Chong's going north is already in front of him.

These changes were originally variables that could have a profound impact on the current situation and cause a large number of current people, especially the Qingxu family to rebound.As a result, because of the oppression of the slave soldiers, even if there were many angry voices, it was difficult to resonate at all.

Money and food are not in hand, and there is no military force to use. Originally, we could launch a public opinion offensive to stir up the harm caused by the Wu people's advancement to the current situation. However, because Shen Weizhou resisted at the forefront, instead of slandering him, he even wanted to exaggerate Military achievements to stabilize the current situation and people's hearts.It is conceivable that the princes in power in Taichung feel entangled.

Of course, similar dilemmas are not without solutions.Jienu came in a big way, and their military power was unprecedented since ZTE. The Huainan war is very likely to have a very bad situation.This is not an evil idea of ​​the Taiwan assistants who beg the enemy in order to attack the political opponent, but an objective fact.

Everyone in the current situation can clearly see that the Shen family sent all their family fortunes to the Huainan War. The Yu family and many other families with overseas Chinese surnames, as well as Zilai, were in the same position as the Shen family. A large number of Wu people.Therefore, once unfavorable circumstances arise in the Huainan War, for the sake of his own family business and to protect the interests of many allies, it is impossible for Shen Chong to sit idly by, and it is very likely that he will rush north to rescue his son.

The reason why the Taiwanese assistants let Shen Chong enter the Zhenjing Mansion was not only to comply with the voices of many Taiwanese ministers, but also to provide convenience for Shen Chong to go north later.On the one hand, of course, it is based on state affairs, and on the other hand, it is also waiting for an opportunity to reorganize the order of the Jiangdong situation.Both Shen's father and son were restrained in the north. Although Jiangdong still had remnants of arrangements, it was naturally much less difficult to clean them up.

At worst, it can greatly reverse the current embarrassing situation where the center is lost inside and outside, and can only be reduced to waving the flag.

Although there is no shortage of thoughtful ideas, things in the world are not as expected.Before Shen Zhezi accumulated many small victories in Huaibei, although the Taiwan assistants also helped publicize it in the capital, it was purely for the sake of stabilizing people's hearts.The Huainan army has newly formed a military town, but its performance is so active that it is very likely to attract slave troops to attack in the future.

When the news of Chengfu's victory came, the people of Gyeonggi were already in an uproar, but the Taifu people were deeply worried about it. Because of their public spirit, they didn't think that the Huainan army could stop the strong attack of the Jienu army.Sure enough, not long after, the main force of the slave army determined the main attack direction, and Shi Hu personally commanded the army to suppress Huainan.While worrying, some selfish Taiwan assistants have already begun to imagine how to adjust the current situation and divide up the power after Shen Chong left the town and went north.

Of course, when planning these things, they are not lacking in awe-inspiring righteousness. A child cannot be trusted, and it is worrying that he will not be able to defend firmly, and he dares to provoke the weak to meet the strong.The game of defeat and retreat has been decided, and Jiangdong is in need of truly prudent and capable people to preside over the situation!
At the time when the fight was in full swing, a great victory came, and all thoughts of justice were poured out. For a moment, I really didn't know whether to be happy or worried. Many entanglements could only be condensed into one sentence: "Shi Jilong, a man who swindled the world and swindled his name!" Slave ear!"
