The basic situation of Yingzhou is already understood.
Moreover, the civil servants who had stayed in Fuzhou to inspect official duties also brought back the inspection results from Fuzhou.
I inspected the two prefectures and found that the people's livelihood and government affairs in both places were doing well.
Especially Yingzhou.
Song Yun directly copied the Jiangzhou model, coupled with Song Yun's own prestige in Yingzhou.
The people believed in him and implemented his policies thoroughly.
Now Yingzhou's economy has basically returned to the level before the natural disaster.
Jiangzhou's various bills can be circulated here without any hindrance, and the credit of the bills is extremely high.
Judging from the current economic situation in various places, Song Yang feels that it is almost time to introduce paper and pen.
It's just that this issue needs to be discussed with Jiangzhou's senior officials after we return.
"A Yang, you don't have many guards with you this time. I asked Wen Ju to go with you, firstly to protect your safety, and secondly, to have some people to call you."
"Thank you so much, Third Brother."
Song Yang was about to set off, and Song Yun took him to the pier in a wheelchair.
Then he brought up the matter of Bai Wenju being his guard.
Song Yang doesn't really need to protect him.
But first of all, Song Yun had good intentions, and secondly, he might indeed need some errand boys.
Let Bai Wenju follow.
As a result, the number of people setting off from Yingzhou increased to 1,200.
One thousand of them were Yingzhou soldiers and 200 were Jiangzhou Fuxing Army.
…
On September 25, Song Yang arrived in Xiangyang.
Song Han, the king of Fangzhou, Qiao Jinglong, Wei Nan and others went out to welcome Shili.
Although Song Han is Song Yang's uncle, he now regards Song Yang as the king of a country.
Since you have surrendered to Song Yang, you must have the consciousness to surrender to him.
Of course, he had other things to admit his mistakes to Song Yang...
"Uncle Wang, why are you here? It's such a hot day, just wait for me in the city." Song Yang said curiously when he saw Song Han.
Theoretically, Song Han does not need to go out to greet him.
Even if he took refuge with Song Yang, he was still the elder.
But for Song Rui's sake, he decided to come out.
Song Rui is the prince of Ganzhou.
Song Han's eldest nephew.
This guy arrived in Fangzhou in early July.
Originally, I wanted to rest in Fangzhou for a few days before heading to Jiangzhou.
As a result, Song Rui didn't know what was wrong. The night before departure, after drinking some wine and feeling that he was okay, he beat Qiao Jinglong.
Here's the thing.
The King of Fangzhou let Song Rui rest in Xiangyang for a few days, and then planned to send him to Jiangzhou.
The day before departure, King Fangzhou called Qiao Jinglong and asked him to help write a letter of introduction.
Qiao Jinglong is a close confidant of Song Yang. With his letter of introduction, it will also be convenient for Song Rui to conduct research in Jiangzhou by telling him about the situation here.
As a result, during dinner in the evening, Song Rui slandered Song Yang in many words.
It is simply a dream to say that Song Yang is young, complacent with his little achievements, and wants the Anxi army to surrender.
This guy is a bad drinker, and his wine quality is really not that good.
When you are sober, you can still control your emotions, but when you drink too much, I don’t even recognize the king of heaven.
Although his father Song Xi occasionally heard people around him mention this matter, how could those people dare to offend the Crown Prince? At most, it meant that the Crown Prince was a bit arrogant after drinking.
In addition, Song Rui is somewhat self-aware and never drinks too much in front of his father.
So Song Xi didn't completely know the extent to which Song Rui drank too much.
As a result, at the banquet that night, because Song Rui slandered Song Yang, Qiao Jinglong of course had to argue with him.
As a result, Song Rui got drunk and hit Qiao Jinglong on the head with a plate.
Fortunately, he was hit on the forehead. If he was hit on the eye, he would have been blinded.
The King of Fangzhou had never known that his nephew was in such a situation, and the conversation among the people at the table was just fine.
Suddenly the topic changed, and before he could react, Song Rui had already beaten Qiao Jinglong.
Qiao Jinglong was beaten, and Wei Nan immediately became angry and ordered Song Rui to be arrested.
He is the garrison of Fangzhou, and the Fangzhou Renaissance Army is in his hands.
He was very upset when Song Rui slandered Song Yang just now.
After all, Wei Nan is a warrior who talks a lot but is not very good at what he does.
We can only let Qiao Jinglong take the lead and start talking.
In the end, who would have thought that Song Rui would actually hurt someone on the spot.
Although Song Han was shocked, he also calmed down.
How dare he let Wei Nan's people catch Song Rui.
He hurriedly asked his own people to subdue Song Rui, and at the same time apologized to Qiao Jinglong.
Qiao Jinglong dealt with the matter rather than the person, argued with Song Rui based on reason, and defended Song Yang, which was what a courtier should do.
Song Han had never slandered Song Yang. During his work in Fangzhou, Song Han spared no effort in supporting him.
Besides, Song Han was still a prince and a relative of Song Yang.
Qiao Jinglong couldn't help but accepted Song Han's apology, which was a frustrating loss.
But you definitely don’t want him to write the letter of recommendation for Song Rui.
Although Wei Nan was unhappy, Song Han was indeed a good person.
Qiao Jinglong admitted his defeat, and the banquet ended unhappy.
Although this matter was seemingly resolved by Song Han, the king of Fangzhou.
But he didn't dare to let Song Rui go to Jiangzhou again.
That place was Song Yang's territory, and Qiao Jinglong's status in Song Yang's heart was not low.
Now that Song Rui has beaten someone's cronies, he still wants to come to investigate?
What if Song Yang has a good temper?
This is also the main reason why King Fangzhou came all the way to greet Song Yang today.
Until now, his eldest nephew Song Rui is still imprisoned in Fangzhou.
In fact, it cannot be said to be a confinement. Even if Song Rui is released, Song Rui will not return to Ganzhou.
His father Song Xi asked him to go to Jiangzhou to conduct research, but as a result, this guy caused trouble when he went to Fangzhou.
I didn't get it done and I offended someone, so now I have to get beaten severely when I go back.
As for going to Jiangzhou, he didn't even dare.
Even if he drinks too much and yells about drinking, he will become weak the next day when he sobers up.
I still remember some of what happened yesterday, thinking that I beat up Song Yang's cronies.
Now that he is within the scope of his strength, how dare this kid continue to move forward.
Usually he hides in Fangzhou Prince's Mansion and dare not go out.
He was afraid that Qiao Jinglong would find someone to beat him up.
He just hid for two months.
Until Song Yang came to Shannan East Road.
When Song Yang asked Song Han, Song Han thought about it and realized that Song Yang must not know about Song Rui beating Qiao Jinglong.
He glanced sideways at Qiao Jinglong and found that Qiao Jinglong was following Song Yang with a low eyebrow.
There is no intention to accuse him at all.
"That..." Song Han hesitated.
"Uncle Wang, just tell him if you have something to say. Come on, let's talk." Song Yang smiled and greeted King Fangzhou to get on his carriage.
After coming out of Yingzhou, Song Yun prepared several carriages for him.
Originally, Song Yang was mixed up in the car of two girls. When he was approaching Xiangyang, he changed into his own car.
The King of Fangzhou saw that Song Yang and Qiao Jinglong were both getting on the carriage, so he had no choice but to follow them.
After getting on the carriage, Song Yang sat in the middle, Qiao Jinglong and Song Han sat on the left and right respectively.
The carriage is very big, and it doesn't feel crowded for three people.
Qiao Jinglong and Song Yang talked about some trivial matters in life, and then Song Yang looked at Song Han again and asked:
"By the way. Uncle Wang just hesitated to speak, but what's the matter?"
Song Yang was a little surprised. The previous Uncle Wang from Fangzhou didn't have such a personality.
Song Han looked at Qiao Jinglong and felt that he had to say it himself, so he said to Song Yang:
"Ah Yang, it's Uncle Wang's fault. Uncle Wang didn't take care of Xiao Rui. He beat Master Qiao drunkenly!"
"Ah? Old Qiao was beaten!" Song Yang was startled and immediately looked at Qiao Jinglong.
Qiao Jinglong was also a little embarrassed. Two months had passed and he didn't care much about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Song Han would bring it up again now.
Song Han had already apologized to him at that time.
And I also gave him some supplements the next day.
Qiao Jinglong didn't intend to argue with the drunkard, so he didn't tell Song Yang at all.
"My lord, it's just some filth on the wine table." Qiao Jinglong shook his head and said.
"What's going on! Who is Xiao Rui?"
Song Yang's face became serious, he looked at Qiao Jinglong and Song Han and asked.
"Um...A Yang. Let Uncle Wang do the talking."
"Xiao Rui is my nephew, the son of Song Xi, the king of Ganzhou, and the crown prince of Ganzhou. He came to Fangzhou this time..."
Song Han, the king of Fangzhou, also thought about it and told Song Yang the cause and effect of the matter without any concealment.
Even Song Rui's words to slander Song Yang were copied to Song Yang.
It's not that he doesn't protect his nephew.
There were more than three of them involved in this matter at that time, and it was better to hear it from his mouth than Song Yang heard it from others.
It was not a good thing to say in the first place, but it kept being passed around, and Song Yang couldn't tell what he heard in the end.
If you say it yourself, it will at least be impartial.
Song Yang kept listening to Song Han's words with a sullen face.
After Song Han finished speaking, Song Yang looked at Qiao Jinglong angrily and said:
"Why didn't you tell me? You are an official in Fangzhou, and you were sent by me. If you hit you, you will be a slap in my face!"
"Alas, Your Majesty, it's actually nothing serious. Isn't it better for Xiaguan? He drank too much and made a mistake. When Xiaguan argued with him, he hit Xiaguan. But Prince Fangzhou has already apologized to Xiaguan on his behalf.
." Qiao Jinglong said with a sigh.
"Uncle Wang, shouldn't you be the one to apologize for this matter? As an adult, why should someone else take care of his own affairs?" Song Yang looked at Song Han with some complaints.
Qiao Jinglong was his confidant, how could he not be angry when he was beaten?
"Alas! Uncle Wang also told him and asked him to come and apologize on his own, but this kid is a little scared... afraid that Old Qiao will embarrass him." Song Han also shook his head and sighed.
"Haha! Uncle Song Xi gave birth to a good son, how can he be so responsible?" Song Yang looked disdainful.
"Where are the others!"
"Still in my house, I will imprison him after that day."
Song Yang was silent for a long time and looked at Qiao Jinglong and asked: "How many squatting cannons are there in Xiangyang City?"
"Go back to your lord. Sixty doors were shipped in three batches before, and there are quite a few of them in the city."
Qiao Jinglong didn't understand why Song Yang mentioned the Tiger Crouching Cannon, but he answered immediately.
Song Yang tilted his lips, looked at Qiao Jinglong and said:
"Isn't Song Rui here to investigate the Crouching Tiger Cannon? Then let him see the power of the Crouching Tiger Cannon!"
Song Han, the king of Fangzhou, was shocked. Could it be that Song Yang wanted to shoot that boy Song Rui to death?
