Last time it was said that the eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister who were urging the younger brother to die were sent by their father to the carpenter's office to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and court etiquette.

"Haha, that's right!" Mr. Chengxuan Zhengxuan of Guangnan West Road thought that he had the opponent. After all, the opponent was a "family of carpenters" with "nine generations of single inheritance". Even though he had the family heirloom "Book of Lu Ban",

To the strict class feudal society, he was just a commoner.

Since you are a "general citizen", once you get on your own "thief ship", you can only let yourself control it, because if something happens, you can find a "scapegoat" to pass the risk, why not? However, just now

While the chief envoy was hospitable and made solemn promises, he did not pay attention to urge the carpenter to start work.

At the next banquet, the carpenter and his daughters deliberately pretended to be cautious, which made the chief minister feel embarrassed.

"Eat, eat, eat more. You are still young and growing, so you should eat more good food to grow faster, hehe." The chief envoy said with a smile.

"Giggle, thank you godfather, you are so good to us sisters! Even better than my father, giggle." As soon as the words were said, the three girls did not forget to make faces.

"Uh... you stinky girl, you're talking nonsense! If you can't learn your real skills here, I'll beat your butts when you get home!" urged the carpenter.

There was something interesting about father and daughter fighting each other like this. Even the maids accompanying the Chief Envoy couldn't help but cover their mouths and smile.

Ji Carpenter deliberately took advantage of the opportunity of "toasting eldest brother" and took advantage of the moment when their eyes met. Two dark purple lights emitted from his eyes. They flashed into Fang's eyes and began to rely on his strong mental power.

Let’s quickly look through the other person’s memory and want to see what the other person’s intentions are?

Fortunately, the other party did not have any evil intentions. They simply offered "show girls" to please the emperor, and by the way, they used this to consolidate their rights and status. As for the righteous intention to get rid of the "eunuch group" and focus on

The whole Chao Gang, on the contrary, is not ranked first.

However, Ji Carpenter got an important piece of information, that is, when his three daughters learn their true skills, they will be uniformly trained and selected for admission by the "official music studio" in "South Zhili".

, the master of ceremonies and others will be targeted and concentrated in "North Zhili".

Due to the special national conditions of the Ming Dynasty, it resulted in the strange phenomenon of "one country with two capitals". This is consistent with the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, established his capital in Nanjing after the founding of the country, and his fourth son, King of Yan Zhu Di, successfully launched the "Battle of Jingnan" and

The forced relocation of the capital to the north was also intended to weaken local bureaucracy.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country and established its capital in Nanjing as "Yingtian Mansion". Nanzhili was directly under the central jurisdiction of Nanjing. Nanzhili was located in the Jiangnan area, with a prosperous economy, a large population, and the highest taxation in the country, until today.

The Jiangnan area is also where the world's money and food are.

South Zhili has a strong cultural atmosphere, with many Confucian scholars, talented people, and literati. It attaches great importance to etiquette. More than half of the officials in the imperial court came from Jiangnan Gongyuan. In the novel "The Scholars" written by Wu Jingzi, a celebrity in the Qing Dynasty, the city of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty was used as the background.

All Confucian scholars came from Nanzhili.

The jurisdiction of Southern Zhili includes Yingtian Prefecture , Fengyang Prefecture , Huai'an Prefecture , Yangzhou Prefecture , Suzhou Prefecture , Songjiang Prefecture , Changzhou Prefecture , Zhenjiang Prefecture , Luzhou Prefecture , Anqing Prefecture , Taiping Mansion, Chizhou Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, Huizhou Mansion, Xuzhou

, Chuzhou , Hezhou , Guangzhou and other wealthy places.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Zhili prefectures were at the same level as the prefectures, which were different from the scattered prefectures in other places at a lower level, and were administratively similar to the direct-controlled municipalities of later generations.

The southern Zhili territory is equivalent to the later Jianghu-Anhui area, which was an important base area for Zhu Yuanzhang to develop his power to compete for the world, and is equivalent to the northern Zhili area.

"Northern Zhili" was established after King Zhu Di of Yan launched the "Jingnan Campaign" and moved to the "Yuan Dadu", that is, "Shuntian Prefecture". It was also directly under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. The south and north are divided into two parts.

The term "Zhili Province" is only used to distinguish the geographical location and folk customs of the two capitals from each other.

"North Zhili" is more desolate than "South Zhili". After all, it is too close to the nomadic people in the north. In addition, "Shuntianfu" is the "Yuan Dadu" before "Beiping City", resulting in social customs, humanities

The style is much worse than that of "South Zhili", but the emperor guards the country and the country remains unchanged even after the king dies.

The jurisdiction of Northern Zhili is Shuntian Prefecture, Baoding Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, Shunde Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, Guangping Prefecture, Yongping Prefecture, Xuanfu, Yanqing Zhili Prefecture, and Baoan Zhili Prefecture.

Of course, in a broad sense, the territory of "Northern Zhili" is equivalent to a small part of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan and Central Plains regions in later generations. Later, when class conflicts broke out in the late Ming Dynasty, peasant uprisings led to Qing troops entering the country and occupying the country, and the Northern Territory was conquered.

Zhili was renamed Zhili Province, and South Zhili was renamed "Jiangnan Province".

At this time, the Chief Minister, who was having a cup of tea with the carpenter, suddenly felt dizzy. He thought it was due to overwork recently and was too drunk, so he was on the verge of falling down. Fortunately, the girls accompanying him were quick-sighted and helped him to stay upright.

Make a fool of yourself or you will be embarrassed.

"Uh... I made my dear brother laugh." The chief envoy came back to his senses and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I've been working too hard lately and I'm often restless, so that's why I'm like this."

"Brother, you are joking. How dare common people laugh at you?" Ji Carpenter had just secretly used the "Seventy-two Techniques of Hereticism" to "take souls" and "marry dreams". He could search for souls from a distance, and with his powerful

Isn’t it too easy for mental power to deal with a mortal without any cultivation?

"Hey! My dear brother, I don't know. The Japanese pirates have been serious recently. Not only the coast of Guangdong Road has been attacked, but also Hainan Island under my jurisdiction on Guangxi Road has been repeatedly invaded by Japanese pirates." The chief envoy sighed while drinking wine:

"First there were Japanese pirates, then there were foreigners. Neither of them are good things. We have to fight!"

"Oh? It seems that as a senior member of the party, brother has a heavy burden on his shoulders!" The carpenter said in surprise: "I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?" - "Haha, brother, you are joking.

Fighting is all about being a soldier, how can you let a craftsman like your good brother go charge into battle?"

"Hey, brother, what you say is too unreasonable. You have to rebuild after the war?" The carpenter said with a faint smile: "Whether it's building roads and bridges, or building houses, Lubanmen can't do it well without me.

Please don't refuse, brother. If you just say a word, I will immediately support the front line."

"In this case, Brother Yu will inherit the love of a wise brother." The chief envoy said with joy on his face: "From now on, when the generals have been trained to the point where they can enter the palace, Brother Yu will personally send them to Nanzhi."

Those who are affiliated with Yingtianfu will participate in the training and will be sent to Beizhili after passing the assessment."

"Oh? Haha, thank you for your concern, brother. You are really thoughtful!" Ji Carpenter said with a solemn expression, stood up and bowed: "I wonder when the battle to exterminate the Japanese pirates will begin?" - "Haha, this... sporadic battles are caused by

My local officials will decide based on the situation, but ultimately it depends on the court."
