Yin Hui also lived in the inn, right next to Bai Shan and the others. Perhaps because Bai Shan came the earliest, the inn gave him the room facing the street, which was the closest one, and there was another room across from Yin Hui.
No one can really hear any secrets from this room.
After entering the room, Mr. Tang swept around and said, "Order some food and let's talk while we eat." He also encouraged Zhou Man, "You are also an official, why don't you and Yi Cheng share a room to live in?"
Zhou Man was stunned and asked, "Why should I live somewhere else?"
Bai Shan also turned to look at Mr. Tang.
Mr. Tang said seriously: "It's getting late, it's too late to chat, so I'll stay here tonight."
Zhou Man exhaled and was about to respond, but he hadn't finished speaking yet. After taking a breath, he said, "I was just thinking of talking to Bai Shan and Zhu Ye."
Bai Shan: "...That's not necessary. I remember that there is no one living across the street. Man Bao, go and ask for a room with Yi Cheng, and ask your senior to rest across the street at night."
Zhou Man nodded repeatedly, turned around and went down to find Yi Cheng, for fear that Tang He would speak again.
Yin You saw her going out and asked doubtfully: "Isn't Senior Brother Tang also an official? He wants to stay in a hotel for free, right?"
And even if a room in the inn costs money, it’s not much more expensive for one night, right?
Tang He said: "I forgot to bring my official title and official seal. Zhou Man's ready-made fourth-grade official is very useful."
But they are a couple. If they want an extra room, I don’t know what news will be spread tomorrow.
Yin You hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.
Man Bao quickly booked a room and came up, and ordered Daji to go out and buy some snacks and snacks.
The four of them closed the door and talked, while Mingli and Changshou squatted outside the door together. They looked at each other, you stared at me, I stared at you.
As soon as the door closed, Tang He suddenly said seriously: "Chang Bo has already set off for Jiangnan, Zhishan, what happens next is up to you."
Bai Shan nodded.
Tang He said: "Although people's hearts are unpredictable, some things can be deduced. Let's deduce the future development of things?"
Bai Shan was troubled: "I don't understand those people."
Tang He said: "I've heard of it to some extent, and I'm here to tell you."
In fact, when it comes to the power in the court, the aristocratic families in Jiangnan are far inferior to the aristocratic families in Guanlong and Lu in the Central Plains. However, the government orders there are not clear, and it seems that as long as there is a little military force, Jiangnan can be freed from the control of the Jin Dynasty.
.
Therefore, the emperor has always been very concerned about Jiangnan, but in fact, he could not really control Jiangnan.
This is also a problem left over from the previous dynasty.
In the previous dynasty, the world was in chaos, especially in the Guanzhong and Central Plains areas. It can be said that today's surname is Wang, and tomorrow's surname is Li. The fight was life-and-death, and the forces changed one after another.
The aristocratic families that had temporarily moved back from the south because of the stability of the previous dynasty slipped back to Jiangnan. Although Jiangnan was also chaotic, it was much better than the north.
Later, when the world was finally settled, Jiangnan was quickly pacified. However, it was not the emperor who brought his army to conquer the country in waves, but the aristocratic families in Jiangnan who gathered their forces and took the initiative to surrender.
This was a good thing at the time, since there was no need to fight anymore, but after that, the Jiangnan area gradually became out of control.
"Many aristocratic families have branches in Jiangnan. They can ignore the imperial decrees when operating in Jiangnan, especially salt tax and tea trade."
Bai Shandao: "Isn't it already getting better?"
Tang He sighed: "It seems like this on the surface, but no one knows what the actual situation is."
Yin You lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea and said: "For more than twenty years, His Majesty has been deploying officials and manpower to the south of the Yangtze River. I think the situation is not as bad as before, otherwise His Majesty would not have said so boldly that a salt tax would be imposed.
.”
Tang He looked at Yin You.
Yin You put down his teacup and said, "Don't look at me. I don't know the details."
The three of them looked back regretfully and sighed together: "It would be great if we could know who is His Majesty's man. It would be much more convenient for Senior Brother Yang to be in Jiangnan."
Zhou Man perked up and asked, "Do you think His Majesty will give those people to Senior Brother Yang?"
Bai Shan: "No."
Tang He was more direct, "What are you thinking about? Even if your Majesty employs people, he is giving Chang Bo to others. His qualifications are there, and..."
He paused and then said: "Jiangnan is too far away from the capital, so your majesty may not fully trust them."
Especially Yang Heshu, although the emperor trusted him when he sent him to Jiangnan, there must have been some doubts, especially since the Yang family had been operating in Jiangnan for many years, and Yang Heshu was directly on the opposite side of the family this time.
When Tang He, Bai Shan and others were plotting Jiangnan, Yang Heshu was camping on the roadside. Wan Tian took the boiled water and cooled it down for him to drink.
Yang Heshu looked away from the starry sky, took a sip, glanced at everyone and said, "Let everyone drink some water and have a rest."
Wan Tian agreed, handed the water to the guard, turned around and arranged the carriage to let him rest, "Uncle, take a rest."
Yang Heshu, however, stared at the stars and did not move. He said casually: "You go to sleep first, I will sit for a while."
The master was not asleep, and as a servant, it was impossible for him to sleep. Wan Tian squatted beside Yang Heshu, looked up at the starry sky, and asked him, "Master, do you miss your wife?"
Yang Heshu looked away and shook his head, "I'm wondering where the prince and the others are at this time."
"Are you still in Qingzhou?" Wan Tian said: "His Royal Highness, the princess and the consort must not be able to move quickly."
Yang Heshu nodded, "It's a pity that I couldn't see the salt-drying method with my own eyes. I only saw some data from the letter."
"Master Lang, are you worried that they are exaggerating?"
Yang Heshu shook his head and smiled: "If it was possible for others, it wouldn't be possible for Bai Shan and Zhou Man."
Wan Tian became more confident, "Master Lang, with the help of Mr. Bai and Miss Man, the trip to Jiangnan should be no problem, right?"
Yang Heshu said: "I'm waiting for my father's choice."
Wan Tian became worried again. Although the Marquis loved their uncle very much, he was the patriarch and could not only think about the uncle.
After he came out of the house, the uncle directly asked him to call him Master Lang.
The master is the head of a household...
Before going out, the uncle and the Marquis had a very unpleasant quarrel. He was not very confident, "Master Lang, do you think the Marquis will be on your side?"
Yang Heshu lowered his eyes and said: "He will know it. Those who know the current affairs are heroes, but others may not. The clan leader is not irreplaceable..."
Wan Tian was stunned and said, "Change, change the clan leader?"
Yang Heshu glanced at him calmly and asked: "Even the emperor can be changed, just a clan leader, why are you surprised?"
Wanda:……
For Wan Tian, isn't changing Yang's clan leader the same as changing the emperor?
He swallowed nervously, remembered something again, and looked at Yang Heshu expectantly, "Master Lang, you are the young sect leader. If the clan leader is replaced...will it be replaced by you?"
Yang Heshu knocked him on the head and said, "What are you thinking? If my father stands with me, he may be replaced as the clan leader. Will they let me take over the position of clan leader? Of course, the young sect leader will be replaced as well."
Wan Tian was about to cry. For him, the young master had been the young sect master since he was born. It was really hard for him to imagine that he was not the young sect master.
?? I wanted to add it, but why is it too tired and I can’t add it, so let's talk about it tomorrow.
