Chapter 117, Nanxing Geography

It’s not that the Nanxing women had no confidence in King Liang Ren of Jin, but that these women who knew the inside story probably knew the deeds of King Lu. If the common people on the streets, like Miss You Er, would raise their arms and shout that His Highness would win based on the prosperity of Nanxing that he saw in front of him.

Nanxing did not have a large fief of King Lu, and the King of Jin did not inherit the army, talents and wealth. The King of Lu had a long time ago ambitious example.

.....

If the capital is a hinterland, the entire Xichang is a barrier around this hinterland. Apart from the provinces separated by the middle, Xichang is more like the outer periphery of the capital. This pattern was established when the founding emperor, and the King of Zhou was his cousin who accompanied him to conquer the world in blood.

Among the fiefs of the kings, Xichang covers the largest area. Its irregular shape starts from Yangshan in the north, and is separated by the endless mountain range and the northern King of Chuan. The king of Chuan goes east, including Dahei Province, and then the fief of Dingwang, which is about the distance from Nanxing.

Towards the east of Xichang, the capital city is separated by two provinces of different sizes. Towards the south of Xichang, a long and narrow Zhongcheng province formed here, and stared at King Lu.

The plains in Zhongcheng Province are fertile, and they are the country's grain-producing land and are also where wealthy businessmen gather. There are always mountains and rivers. If the King of Lu attacked Xichang, he would not be able to control the management of Zhongcheng Province across the river and mountains.

The main hinterland of Zhongcheng Province forms a barrier between King Lu and Nanxing, but starting from its long and narrow place, separated by two cities, the other direction of the city is the smallest sharp-angle city in Xichang. King Lu and Nanxing stare at each other.

If the two cities in Jianjiao City and Zhongcheng Province, one is called Wacheng and the other is called Yancheng, these three cities are allowed to be borrowed by the King of Lu, and the 10,000 troops gathered by the King of Lu recently faced Nanxing.

The places jointly owned by Xichang, Zhongcheng Province, King of Lu, Nanxing and Nanxing, which lead to Funan, a province separated by the capital, are all small sharp corners.

The irregularly shaped Xichang became narrow here, like a thick nail, which was a sharp corner city. Next door were two cities narrowed by Zhongcheng Province of the Great Plain. Wacheng and Yancheng were two thin nails. The thick nails formed a line at right angles, and the two thin nails formed another line at right angles, and occupied forty-five degrees of this right angle. The remaining forty-five degrees of Guilu King’s city was inserted in sharp corners.

Adjacent to this right angle are the two cities in Nanxing and Funan Province forming another right angle.

The thirty-degree angle only thirty degrees at the other right angle, and the other 60 degrees return to Funan Province. It seems that two right angle spikes combine to form a straight line of 180 degrees, but it also exposes the thirty-degree nail cross section of the thirty-degree nail in front of the entire Zhongcheng Province.

Dingjian and Jianjiao City, Zhongcheng Province Wa City, and Zhongcheng Province Rock City. On the other side of these three cities is the fiefdom of King Lu. The entire Dingban is connected to other cities in Zhongcheng Province, or looks at each other through mountains and rivers.

Liang Ren is not worried that the entire Zhongcheng Province will be taken down by the King of Lu. Any ambitious person will be prevented by the present, but the alliance of Pinjiao City, Wacheng and Rock City will cause damage to Tinjiao City.

Military terms, the place where the Chijiao City is based on the point and Nanxing is located. During the reign of King Hong, Lao Hong never gave up Chijiao City from its prosperity to its popularity. King Lu had been deeply interested in attacking Chijiao City since his childhood, making it a robber zone that is not in charge. This is the gate to open Nanxing.

Otherwise, I can't say that my Highness rebelled and directly captured Zhongcheng Provincial Aisle, which would attract the whole country's army. His Highness King Lu was not a lunatic since he was a child.

The huge size of Xichang caused the King of Zhou to not focus on the sharp-core city. Among the officials of the sharp-core city, there would be no shortage of people who would collect some gold and silver to borrow a piece of the city to let the King of Lu look down. The city could be overlooked, and a few horses ran on the small road outside the city, and a small army would turn a blind eye.

The same is true for Wacheng and Yancheng. When King Lu was about 40 years old, he could always pry open some of the officials of Wacheng and Yancheng. Zhongcheng Province did not work for the intervention. When Zhongcheng Province replaced its senior officials and was taken down by King Lu in one fell swoop, this fierce Your Highness launched a general attack on Lao Hong.

It is better to do it than heaven. King Hong of the Lord, and King Lu did not lead the Nanxing as his neighbor. In history, King Zhou of Xichang had crossed Yangshan to manage the fief of King Chuan. King Lu also wanted to cross Zhongcheng Province to gain deep roots in Nanxing, but King Jin came over to horses and Nanxing officially became the territory of the young His Highness.

This was Liang Ren's best time. He was a teenager when he came. Getting freedom and hope was his second life and his most frightened time. He had not walked on thin ice like this in the harem. There were large areas in the deep palace for him to vent his catharsis alone.

When the favored concubines do not have this prince in their eyes, it means his safety. Then won’t the palace maids who are competing with the dragon and phoenix “take the initiative to care” about him?

The kind Liang Ren avoided the kind palace maids, and he was not able to take care of others in turn; the hollow-eyed one could only see him after he left the palace and got Nanxing. His eyes were only aimed at the powerful people in the harem. The aristocratic families never support A Dou unless A Dou has Shu.

Xu Wenjian, an official from the Tsingjiao City, took Liang Ren into the city, and Liang Ren asked in a cross face: "Is that ordinary man from the sharpjiao City or Zhao Rongze?"

"Yes." Xu Wenjian looked angry while looking back.

Liang Ren went to the yamen with his hands in his arms, and said angrily: "The sharp corner town is the most inconspicuous in Xichang. The King of Zhou does not pay attention to it. Zhao Rongze's predecessors are transferred every three years and try their best to refuse to stay more. Zhao Rongze stays for five years and even gives gifts to the King of Zhou's mansion..."

His voice stopped, and his eyes had a very cold look, which affected Liang Ren's entire face and fell into a flash of coldness.

Xu Wenjian also showed anger and added the second half of Liang Ren's unfinished sentence: "Your Highness, the Seventh-rank official in the Jianjiao City, with an annual salary of 120 taels, but he sent nearly 1,000 taels of silver to the Zhou Palace every year. Your Highness, the King of Lu, is very generous."

Xu Wenjian, an official from the Sharp Jiao City, is also of the seventh rank. His annual salary is 120 taels according to the court system. However, the fiefs of the kings of this dynasty are also autonomous. Liang Ren compensated Xu Wenjian's actual income to 800 taels per year, several times more than Zhao Rong.

His Highness of the King of Zhou did not care about Jianjiao City, but his strong military strength and was connected to Jianjiao City. Liang Ren, who dared to steal him, would be different from that of Nanxing, Zhongcheng Province and King of Lu. The city of Jianjiao City was an important area for him to guard against the King of Lu and Zhou. He was unwilling to send an official to be bribed by the King of Lu, and another person would do this again.

Liang Ren could not compare the winners and losses of money with the rich King of Lu. According to Xu Wenjian's repeated secret reports, the King of Lu gave Xu Wenjian the most once, but was flatly rejected by Xu Wenjian: "Is Nanxing only sold 5,000 taels? Your Highness has a short-sighted vision, not someone I admire."

Xu Wenjian knew that he was guarding Nanxing's portal, and 5,000 taels was the largest amount of money Zhao Rong had never obtained from King Lu, but this did not mean that Lord Xu was more valuable than Lord Zhao, which was the price of Quan Nanxing.

Liang Ren could only offer an annual income of 800 taels, because no matter how much the King of Lu gave, it did not mean that the officials in the Tsujiao City were worth the high price.

Two years before arriving in Nanxing, the officials of the Tsujiao City were still old people in Nanxing. The King of Lu bought it for one thousand taels. Tsujiao City was almost not a barrier at that time. Liang Ren replaced the officials and "invited" them to the royal city, and asked his confidant disciples to go to insult him: "It's better for you to go to the King of Lu. If you don't have any money for promotion, it's not interesting to stay here."

Eight of the ten officials resigned angrily, six of them paid homage to King Lu, and six left behind without saying goodbye a year later. Only one was still with King Lu. It is said that his highness, King Lu had too many talents, and no longer the officials of the Tsakao City had no advantage, so he didn't want to give it to King Lu.

Until Xu Wenjian guarded the Tsujiao City, Nanxing finally restored the barrier of this small land.

He has been guarding the city for a long time, and Xu Wenjian knows most of the surrounding matters. Zhao Rong from the sharp corner city sent him to the Zhou royal mansion again. This is not a secret, so it is easy to inquire about it.

Liang Ren's face squeezed out a grin: "This time I will solve this hidden danger!" He did not come back to the Tujiao City Yamen and strode into Xu Wenjian's office. He took Qiao Yuanshan, Feng Liangbang and other officials in Nanxing, and two of them followed his effective business from Beijing.

Liang Ren, the two Dazai in charge of royal affairs, had not had formal communication with Dazai Mao, and the communication with Dazai's wife was not in the plan of that year. Dazai Hong was too kind to him. Not only did he find Chang'an from the prison, Yongshou and others, he also gave guidance to two officials in the court who committed the crime.

Xiang Nian, a small official from the Ministry of Works, was proficient in the construction of cities, houses and even fortifications, but he did not get started with interpersonal relationships. Such people are everywhere in the officialdom, shopping malls, and inner houses. The difference is that some places can accommodate them in some eras, and some places cannot accommodate them.

Xiang Nian is in a department of work that cannot tolerate his era. His superb skills are not just about being alone but losing his official skills. He is a kind of kindness to know the way of encountering others. After being unrestrained, he is appreciated. Xiang Nian is so honest and can only do things in a silence. He will only scream and roll up the bedding in a sad way if he is wronged.

Liang Ren brought him to Nanxing and gave him a place to use his skills. There was no complicated interpersonal relationship. Chengping Bo presided over the repairs and interacting with others was Chengping Bo's business. This time he brought him to Xiang Nian to Tujiao City. If a war starts, Tujiao City needs tougher fortifications. Liang Ren said that the 300,000 yuan that he got was fully invested in the war.

300,000 taels may not make any ripples in the battle on the battlefield, but it is a good expense in such a small city and a small battle.

The mountains, stones, soil, military rations, bows and arrows were used by Wen's family. Liang Ren wanted to fight with King Lu quickly and thanked him later: "Thank you, the emperor, for sending Wen's family to 300,000 military expenses."

Reason is a good thing, and sometimes it comes out and does not satisfy the parties involved. "Not fighting" is deeply impressed by Liang Ren's heart, and bringing reinforcement to the New Year is a realistic countermeasure.

Xiang Nian hooked his head and walked silently behind Liang Ren. He also presided over the renovation of the Tsingjiao City. Now he could think about it and know where to strengthen it. He thought, after Liang Ren sat down, he sat down silently.

Another official who committed the crime was named Wang Lang. Before he lost his official position as the sixth-rank squad leader in Kyoto's guards, he was promoted that year and abandoned his future. He and Xiang Nian were both positive and negative. Xiang Nian was unrestrained by others, and Wang Lang was talented but he thought he would not meet him, so he always looked for other people's affairs.

In such a huge officialdom, the imperial examinations are supplemented with a group of officials every three years. Whether it is Xiang Nian or Wang Lang, they are not uncommon, and events are common and no one is surprised. Therefore, Xiang Nian and Wang Lang also leave, just like a small splash of water that cannot be seen on the sea.

Hong Taizai's comment on Wang Lang: "What is proud of one's talent is not something, but he is arrogant."

Really talented, even pride is really very good.

Dazai told Liang Ren: "A person like General Wang touches a nail in the world and he will change. You have to use him as a double-edged sword. If he never hits enough nails in his entire life and cannot suppress his bad nature, you are afraid that he will be killed."

Liang Ren kept in mind that His Highness, who was poor, wanted everything. He always treated Wang Lang very well and was careful to be careful.

Following a poor palace to Nanxing, the warmth of the earth and the disadvantages of the earth and the humidity and miasma made Wang Lang unacceptable to the local environment. He had thought that he would not have another place to go.

Leaving the Kyoto Guards and following His Highness is considered a success. Even though His Highness was very poor at the beginning, on the way to Nanxing, the proud General Wang Lang had to do the job of ordinary guards. At that time, King Jin was accompanied by less than ten people, Chang'an, Yongshou, Liang Wen and Liang Wu were not ordinary guards, but they were all working as ordinary guards.

If you leave the King of Jin, you can only go to the officialdom of other provinces. Most people think that foreign officials are promoted, and returning to Beijing is promoted. And even if you follow the dignitaries and nobles, you can also be considered as promotion.

Wang Lang stayed in the end, and he refused to accept the anger of the Beijing officials. What is the official from other provinces even more in his eyes?

As the saying goes, a person moves a living tree and dies, but he doesn't live well even if he moves a long time.

After Nanxing became rich, it was right to prove that Wang Lang did not leave. General Wang's attitude towards Liang Ren changed. As for Nanxing, who was rich, he believed that King Jin was a great benefactor whom he knew. His previous rebellious attitude made him ashamed. Liang Ren dared to bring him to deal with King Lu, and even if he got along with General Wang, he was somewhat sure.

Wang Lang sat down close to Qiao Yuanshan.

The meeting was late at night, and the next day was the whole day. On that night, Wang Lang took his servant, the master and servant, and left the Shijiao City, and ran to the sharp corner town in Xichang overnight.

He likes to be a job, and the difficult job makes him famous, makes him proud in front of others, and brings him a steady stream of excitement.

"drive!"

Wang Lang smiled under the moonlight.

.....

The moonlight shone on the sharp corner city. During the time when the whole city was sleeping soundly, Zhao Rong, the Lord Zhao in the yamen, continued to show a hard-working smile. What is different from the daytime is that if he worked hard during the day, he would either drink and have fun or pretend.

At this moment, he worked hard from the bottom of his heart, counting the gold and silver sent by His Highness King Lu. He should have finished the work he received a few days ago, but Lord Zhao couldn't bear to leave it. He counted it over and over for several days.

After collecting the money in recent years, His Highness King Lu finally wanted to start a war with King Jin. He would borrow from Jianjiao City, so he sent the most abundant gift in a few years, one hundred taels of gold, two thousand silver, and a jade pendant worth about five hundred taels.
