And these poor families are poor families after all. It is impossible for them to be able to support the entire dynasty with the strength of their family like Wang Xie before. Therefore, they need to grow and need wealth, but where does this wealth come from?
In the final analysis, you can only grow by lying on people's bodies and sucking their blood.
Therefore, what Nan Chen can control is actually only the hearts of poor families. Therefore, the old aristocratic families headed by Wu Mingche and Xu Ling have turned to Li Xingchen, and the majority of people have also turned to Li Xingchen. The remaining poor families have not yet formed a climate, and
How can we support it?
What's more, it's better to arrive early than to arrive late. Chen Shuling's actions completely shattered everyone's confidence.
Maybe give Nanchen another few decades to win over the people of this country and cultivate a group of families who are truly integrated with the country to form a complete community of interests. I am afraid that we can really do it when disaster strikes.
There would be no such phenomenon where even the royal family members would defect.
After all, it is definitely not something that can be achieved in a short period of time if you want to control people's hearts. Especially for a feudal dynasty in the traditional sense, it is even less likely that it can win the support of the general public in just a few years like TG.
What's more, in the current troubled times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, everyone has become accustomed to the change of dynasties. Not to mention that Nan Chen was only established twenty years ago, but Chen Xu just completed a usurpation of the throne more than ten years ago. What he did is incompatible with the actual transition from Southern Qi to Nan Liang.
There is no essential difference, except that Chen Xu did not change the name of the country, so everyone has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and naturally there is no loyalty to this dynasty.
The Jiankang Mansion now in front of Li Xingchen is actually a piece of fat meat that can be eaten at any time, but Li Xingchen also has to consider a question, that is, how can he not make the same mistake as Nan Chen.
In other words, how should I more accurately grasp the hearts of the people and tie these people firmly to the Shu-Han chariot until the Shu-Han can unify China and avoid the second-generation death like the Sui Dynasty in history?
He died and made wedding clothes for others.
This means that reforms must be carried out, not only in the administrative system and military reforms, but also in the selection of talents and even the cultivation of talents and the ideological education of the people.
You must know that during the turbulent times of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, although the Guanlong Group represented by Li Yuan finally took advantage, in fact it was Wagang, farmers like Dou Jiande and the Yuwen family, the former nobles and Shandong aristocratic families who were unwilling to be suppressed, who caused the whole turmoil.
etc.
How can we balance the interests of everyone and how can we ensure the peace of the people?
It’s really a headache.
In particular, Li Xingchen now realizes that he lacks talents and a sufficient population under his command. Once Jiangnan is swallowed up in one go, it will not only mean that his territory has expanded, but the people under his jurisdiction have also increased significantly. How?
Only then can we formulate a sound policy to stabilize Jiangnan and make it truly a paradise. This is also a problem.
Looking at the map hanging in the cabin, Li Xingchen let out a long sigh.
It seems that after taking Jiankang Mansion, we will not be able to go north in a short time.
"My husband is making great progress all the way, what else do you have to worry about?" Lechang looked at Li Xingchen with a sad face in surprise.
"It's easy to conquer a country, but it's difficult to sit on it." Li Xingchen couldn't help but sigh.
Lechang couldn't help but smile and said: "Husband, why do you need to worry about this? Husband is still young."
"Young?" Li Xingchen was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Youth is indeed his greatest capital, which means that he still has enough time to formulate policies suitable for this era, and watch these policies be implemented one by one. Thinking of this, Li Xingchen thought of Chen Xu again.
This old man should have the same ambitions as himself, but it's a pity that he doesn't have so much time, and his descendants...
Lechang had already prepared the ink and sent it to Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen was startled for a moment, and then smiled. This girl really understood her. Then he dipped his pen in the ink and wrote the words "Three provinces and six departments".

If you go all the way south from the Xiang River, you can turn into the Lishui River, and then you can go south from the Lishui River to Guangzhou.
What connects the Xiang River and the Li River is the famous artificial canal Ling Canal. The Ling Canal presented to Xiao Shilian at this time is still considered complete. This is mainly because General Fubo Ma Yuan vigorously dredged it when he pacified Lingnan in the early Eastern Han Dynasty.
By the Northern and Southern Dynasties, urban clusters had been formed in the Lingnan area, especially in Panyu County, Nanhai County, Xinhui County and Cangwu County in Guangzhou.
This is because the connection with the south, especially Nanyang, has become increasingly close, which has led to the development of commerce. Secondly, it is also because the Hou Jing Rebellion more than 20 years ago forced many Jiangnan residents to continue to flee to Lingnan, causing the population of Lingnan to increase significantly.
.
Even Shixing (now Shaoguan), the place of Longxing in Nanchen, was also in Lingnan.
This made Lingnan even more important than Jiangnan at the beginning of Nanchen's founding. Of course, as Chen Baxian established the capital of Jiankang Prefecture, Lingnan gradually faded from Nanchen's political structure. But this does not mean that this place is really
It became a wilderness again.
On the contrary, many people did not return to their hometown, but started a new life here. This smoky land has been very properly developed. More importantly, Nan Chen's attention has been in the north for a long time, so
There are not many troops stationed in Lingnan at all. No one would have thought that the enemy would bypass Jiangnan and attack Lingnan directly.
After all, this is considered the rear area anyway, and it is also a barren land in many people's minds, especially for the northern dynasty.
But for Li Xinchen, this was not the case. Not to mention the political and economic interests of Nanchen due to the existence of Lingnan, the economic benefits of Lingnan continuing to extend southward to Nanyang were enough to make Li Xinchen excited.
So when Xiao Shilian asked to lead an army alone, Li Xingchen decisively left Lingnan to him. Originally, Xiao Shilian was a little disappointed. After all, thinking about the people who conquered Lingnan in history, Zhao Tuo of the Qin Dynasty finally separated one side and died of old age in Lingnan.
Ma Yuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty returned with his body wrapped in horse leather. This was not the fate Xiao Shilian wanted.
But since Li Xingchen gave him the task, he had no choice. What's more, the place where the Xiao family made their fortune was also Shixing. It seemed good if they could fight all the way back to their hometown. With this idea, Xiao Shilian led his army along the route unhappily.
The Xiang River flows upstream and turns into the Ling Canal, directly pushing the troops to Yanguan, the gateway to Lingnan.
Yan Pass is located between Lion Mountain and Phoenix Mountain. It is the choke point from Jingzhou to Lingnan. It is also a famous pass. When Xiao Shilian saw the scale of Yan Pass, he couldn't help but secretly be speechless, because the pass in front of him,
It should no longer be called a pass, but should be called a town. (To be continued)
