A Clash of Gods Chapter 75: Jiangling

Jiangling is located in the north of Jingnan, with Bashu in the west, Xianghan in the north, Wuhu in the waist, and Wuyue in the middle of the arm. It is the main point of communication between the Central Plains and Lingnan, and it is a major town in the southeast. Its ruler is the famous Jingzhou City.

At noon, on the official road east of Jingzhou City, the car was running on the road, and a carriage bumped on the official road. Around the carriage, five or six horses followed.

At this time, Jingzhou City can be seen far away. Under the sky, Jingzhou City crawls on the vast earth like a wild beast.

For several days in a row, day and night, Yang Ning and his party finally arrived in Jiangling.

Gu Qinghan insisted on coming to Jiangling to personally check the tax bank. Yang Ning was naturally at ease. His intuition told him that Jiangling must have made a very significant change. Gu Qinghan’s trip may not be smooth, so he proposed to follow Gu Qinghan came together, and Gu Qinghan did not object. He felt that Yang Ning would soon inherit the position of Marquis, and took the opportunity to take a look at the former residence of Jiangling.

The trip to Canghai was to be followed by an escort, but there were still a lot of things on the side of the capital. Gu Qinghan was worried that General Manager Qiu was difficult to deal with, so he taught Duan Canghai to stay in the capital to assist General Manager Qiu, and only let Qi Feng take a few escorts Go all the way.

A fire in the capital city left Jinyi Houfu with a lot of debts. The biggest input of Houfu is the tax bank in Jiangling. If something goes wrong here, Houfu will definitely In a desperate situation, Gu Qinghan wanted to understand earlier why the Jiangling tax bank was late, so besides stopping occasionally along the way for a little rest, it can be regarded as non-stop.

On the way, Gu Qinghan also expected to be able to meet the team that escorted the tax bank, but came along all the way and was disappointed, but he was not surprised at all, and hurried to the outside of Jingzhou City smoothly.

"Shizi, Jingzhou City is in front of you." Qi Feng knew that this Shiziye had never returned to his hometown of Jiangling since he was born.

Jinyi Hou family, whose ancestral home is in Jiangling, has been a family in Jiangling since hundreds of years ago. It has a very high prestige here. After the old Yiyi Jinyi settled in Beijing, all his immediate family members also moved to Kyoto. However, Jinyihou's food town is here, so there is still a strong foundation here.

When the old Hou Ye was alive, if he had time, he would often return to live in Jiangling, and to the generation of Qi Jing, he would come back much less, but he occasionally came back to sacrifice his ancestors.

But after the birth of Jinyi Shizi, he never returned to his homeland.

Qi Feng’s ancestral home is also in Jiangling. He also returned to his hometown with Qi Jing at that time. He is more familiar with Yang Ning than here. Looking far from Jingzhou City, Qi Feng has a touch of intimacy.

"Is our former residence in the city?" Yang Ning asked.

Qi Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "Hou Ye’s old house is not far from Jingzhou City, but only thirty or forty miles to the south. There is Qijiazhuang. The old house is on Qijiazhuang. The first emperor was originally aimed at Jingzhou An old mansion was built for the old man in the city, but the old man did not let the old man build up. When he came back, he still lived in the old house of Qijiazhuang." With a glimmer of light on his face, he smiled: "The general came back and lived in the old mansion too. At that time, officials of all sizes in Jiangling, including the princes of Jingzhou City, also went to the old mansion."

"Originally," Yang Ning said with a smile: "Our Fengyi and Tiantian are all in Qijiazhuang?"

"Most of the three thousand households given by Emperor Xian were scattered around Qijiazhuang." Qi Feng explained: "However, the farm products are not together. At that time, Emperor Xiandi let Jiangling Taishou select the best in the country. The paddy field is a land product of Fengci, so its distribution is different. The Shizi did not know that the Qi family was a family clan in Jiangling, and it is not too much to say that it is the rich side...!

"Qi Feng, you will talk nonsense." Gu Qinghan has lifted the curtain of the car and laughed and scolded: "Which side is rich, you can talk about it in private. When you arrive, you can't talk nonsense. The general was also in that year. I have told you that here is the hometown, all of them are old folks. The more you get here, the more you need to be cautious. You must not talk nonsense in front of your old folks."

Qi Feng busy said: "Mrs. Three, dare not dare."

"San Niang, you still let him finish." Yang Ning rode by the carriage window and smiled at Gu Qinghan: "You are holding him back now, really want to hold him dead." Xiang Qifeng said: "Go on, what happened later?"

Qi Feng raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, embarrassingly said: "I mean, the old Hou Ye followed the Emperor Xian Emperor's chaos and dedicated all his family's wealth to the Emperor Xian Emperor for peace and chaos. After the thief, this rewarded the old Houye twice."

Yang Ning thought that the old Hou Ye really was a man with a long-term vision. The first emperor had a lot to do with his home appliances. Although Jin Yi Hou was able to conquer good wars, he was a talented person. In addition, it may have something to do with the old Hou Ye’s donation.

"San Niang, are we an advanced city, or rush to the old house?" Yang Ning asked in the car.

Gu Qinghan said: "It's still early. If we enter the city and delay for another day, we still go to the old house. We lightly travel this time, there is no need to enter the city to disturb."

Yang Ning hesitated, and finally said: "San Niang, I have a few words to say to you."

Gu Qinghan opened the curtains and looked at Yang Ning with beautiful eyes, and asked, "Since yesterday, it depends on what you are thinking about. What are you thinking in your little head?" Growing up, this little head of sunflower seeds will not be said to be good.

Yang Ning turned and dismounted, threw the reins of the horse to Qi Feng, jogged in a small step, jumped to the head of the carriage, lifted the curtain and drilled in. Gu Qinghan was slightly surprised. Shrinking up and down, this carriage is much narrower than the carriage commonly used in Houfu, and it is also more convenient to catch the road.

In addition, Gu Qinghan also had other thoughts.

She is a very clever woman. After she discovered Yang Ning’s strange eyes last time, she realized that Yang Ning had grown up, and Yang Ning’s words and manners were no longer as ignorant as she was, which made Gu Qinghan even more It is sober that Yang Ning is no longer the little boy he cared for carefully.

A woman is the most sensitive to emotional things. She used to take care of Shizi, and she has deep feelings. In fact, she also understands that the little boy he has been caring for has a different kind of affection for himself because he is an adult. It's not impossible to understand, but she can't let these things continue to develop naturally.

Although her care for Shizi is still the same as before, she has paid much attention to her speech and manners. Since then, she will never easily approach Yang Ning, nor will she take the initiative to hold Yang Ning’s hand and try to draw in it as much as possible. A ditch came out to avoid unnecessary trouble, but fortunately, Yang Ning also paid attention to it since then, but it was all right.

This time I came to Jiangling from the capital, and the road is quite long. If it is changed to the past, Gu Qinghan will definitely let Yang Ning ride with him on the carriage to avoid the bumps and fatigue of riding.

But this time, I still chose a car, which can speed up the journey, and secondly, I can ride alone, only let Yang Ning ride a horse.

At this time, Yang Ning suddenly got into the car, and Gu Qinghan panicked at first, then thought to himself that he was really too sensitive. Although he usually pays attention to his position with Yang Ning, he is always careful, but a little too Yang Ning may have no other meaning, but he can't let go of his own heart, which hinders the normal emotions of the two.

"Ning'er, what do you want to say?" Gu Qinghan calmed his heart and motioned Yang Ning to sit down with a soft voice and a smile, trying to show himself as an elder.

Yang Ning opened the curtains and said to Qi Feng: "Don’t rush to the old house first, no dry food is used at noon, go find a place in front, you have something to eat first."

Qi Feng agreed, Yang Ning had put down the curtains.

Gu Qinghan saw Yang Ning’s mysterious secret, which was strange, but Yang Ning had approached and whispered: "San Niang, shall we go directly to the old house like this?"

Although Yang Ning was getting closer, Gu Qinghan didn’t think much about seeing him in a serious manner, and said softly: "If you want to check why the tax bank has not been sent to Beijing, naturally you have to go to the old house. What do you think of Ning Er?"

"San Niang, we came here along the way, and we didn't encounter a convoy carrying tax and silver money, and we didn't hear anyone stealing the silver car." Yang Ning thoughtfully, whispered: "I've been thinking The tax bank has not been sent to Beijing, is there a problem with the old house?" Gu Qinghan said, asking: "Does our tax bank have nothing to do with the local government, is the old house responsible?"

Gu Qinghan first said: "There is also a general manager over the old house, which is also a member of the Qi family. In recent years, the food and farm products on the Jiangling side have been handled by the general manager, and the tax bank will be divided twice a year. The harvest of Hotan is sent to Beijing~IndoMTL.com~Isn't the chief executive going to collect the tax bank in person?" Yang Ning asked.

Gu Qinghan explained: "Three thousand food villages are divided into dozens of villages. Each village has a land. Every year, the land in each village will send the tax payable in the village to the old house. Bian. Jiangling is suitable for planting grain. The harvest in spring and autumn is carried out every year. After the payable harvest is delivered to the old house by the head of the land, the general manager will change it to cash and then send it to Beijing."

"That is to say, the tax bank is on Jiangling's side, which is controlled by the general manager." Yang Ning's expression was severe, "the general manager is responsible for any problems?"

"That's exactly what it is." Gu Qinghan said: "Ninger, what do you want to say?"

"San Niang, I have been thinking and delaying the tax bank. Naturally, it is not that the villagers did not pay taxes." Yang Ning slowly said: "If the taxes are all paid to the old house, why the old house has not been sent to Beijing? Isn’t that what the chief executive is doing?"

"General Manager?" Gu Qinghan frowned: "How can he have such a bold heart? When we come back this time, we have to figure out what difficulties the General Manager encountered."

"Have you seen the Chief Executive?" Yang Ning stared at Gu Qinghan's charming eyes like water, "Do you know the Chief Executive well?"

"The Chief Executive has been to Beijing several times, but I don’t speak much to him." Gu Qinghan said: "The general is away all the year round, and Mrs. Madam is dedicated to the Buddha, so many things in the government are handled by General Manager Qiu and I, General Manager. When I went to the capital, I was always hosted by Qiu." After thinking about it, I shook my head: "The general has not delayed anything over the years, and he has absolutely no guts to hold down the tax bank."

Yang Ning sighed lightly: "San Niang, I am not worried that the chief executive will not withhold the tax bank, but I am worried that someone will force him to hold the tax bank."
