After a day's rest, Yang Ming's team continued to set off. This time, he specially called Yuan Wendu and Yang Yinjiang to ride with him.
Both of these people have their own opinions on the Jingzhou area. Yang Ming needs to listen to their thoughts to summarize his initial impression of Jingzhou.
The aristocratic families in the Jingzhou area are small households in the eyes of the Guanzhong Group, but in the eyes of the local people, they are undoubtedly giants that cannot be offended.
Behind these aristocratic families, there are backers. Among them, Lanlingxiao, Hanwangfu, Hongnongyang, Jingzhaowei, and Luoyang Yuan have the greatest influence on the Jingzhou area.
These five factions are more or less involved with Yang Ming.
First of all, the Xiao family of Lanling. Although most of the royal family members were abducted to Daxing after the fall of the Liang Kingdom and were not allowed to leave the capital without an edict, the influence of the Xiao family in Jiangling County is not second-guessing. The reason is simple, because Xiao
concubine.
Even though Concubine Xiao was originally just the Princess of Jin, she was enough to cover the entire Xiao family in Lanling. However, Yang Ming heard from his mother-in-law that except for Xiao Jing and Xiao Yu, she did not meet many other brothers.
You're just talking about the people in your hometown.
Even so, the Xiao family can still use the golden name of Mom to become famous in Jingzhou and Jiangnan areas.
As for the Han Palace, it is very simple. Yang Liang once served as the general manager of Jingzhou. Many families in the Jingzhou area were originally attached to the Han Palace, just like the entire south was attached to the Jin Palace.
This old man now has the title of Duke of Yewang County.
These rivers are either intermittent or shallow and difficult for large ships to navigate. They are all tributaries of the Yangtze River, the first mother river of the Chinese nation, and gave birth to the Chinese civilization that shines in the world.
The salary was allocated from the local treasury. Yang Ming would not want to embezzle money from the Bingzhou treasury to feed himself, drink and have fun like Yang Laosan did. He was not greedy enough yet.
It turns out it's you, this little brat. Yang Ming was quite surprised, weren't you in Jiangxia? Why did you come to Jiangling?
"Oh, so it's Xuangan," Yang Ming nodded, no wonder he was so arrogant.
The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days.
Welcomed by hundreds of officials, Yang Ming's motorcade entered the city and settled in the General Manager's Mansion.
Now that Yang Ming has been appointed as the general manager of Jingzhou, he must have absolute control over his jurisdiction. After all, this time, he will stay in this position for a long time.
The reason why Yang Ming noticed this person was because the grandson's chin was set very high, which made him look very awkward compared with the bowing officials around him.
So Yang Ming ordered Yuan Wendu to make arrangements. There were only twelve seats for the banquet, and others could be sent away after giving gifts.
The next day, greeting cards flew into the manager's office like snowflakes. Xu Jing piled a thick pile of notes in front of Yang Ming, and Yuan Wendu on the side was responsible for sorting them out.
The 1,100 royal guards in the team will later become the guards of the general palace. The 700 people in the outer courtyard are led by Pang Ben, and the 400 people in the inner courtyard are led by Chen Kui and Ma Laoliu respectively.
It was a very shameful thing for a young girl who had not left the court to elope. The Hongnong Yang family could not afford to lose face, so Yang Yinjiang knew that her grandfather and uncle would definitely keep the secret secret to avoid being known to outsiders.
This person used to hang out with Wei Guang (guang). Wei Guang was the second brother of Wei Chong, the Minister of Civil Affairs. In the ninth year of the founding of the Emperor, he conquered Lingnan as the marching commander, with Murong Sanzang as his deputy. Wei Guang was killed on the battlefield by a stray arrow.
He died, and the body was carried back by Murong Sanzang.
In Jingzhou, he will live in the General Manager's Mansion, which is where he handles government affairs, not his home. His home is in Hedong and has not yet been built.
Don't be stingy with this kind of money.
The new General Manager's Mansion is so empty, why don't you guys fill it up for me?
The mansion is divided into two parts: the front is the government office, where government affairs are handled, and the back is the inner garden, where people live.
Xu Jing will be Yang Ming's housekeeper from now on. The small treasury left in Daxing has also been brought here this time. Yang Ming does not need to worry about the specific matters in the mansion, Xu Jing will make arrangements for them.
As for the Yuan family in Luoyang, of course it was because Yuan Xiaoze once served as the general manager of Jiangling.
According to historical calculations, it will take at least four years. After four years, my father will become the emperor, and he will be the prince, and he will probably be transferred to other places.
Yang Yinjiang is quite nervous now because she is not sure whether her father knows that she is with Yang Ming.
Yang Su should have been considered a rare handsome man when he was young. Why is he so ugly after giving birth to a son?
However, you can vaguely see Yang Su's shadow in Yang Xuangan's ugly face. It seems that Yang Su and his wife failed in genetic modification and gave birth to a shoddy product.
After the officials sent Yang Ming all the way to the General Manager's Mansion, they left knowingly. They would not come to congratulate him until the house was cleaned up.
According to Yuan Wendu, some people here are worth meeting and some are not.
The governor of the county, Murong Sanzang, was a man who knew how to get things done. He filled the cellar of the Governor's Mansion with fruits, vegetables and fresh meat one day in advance.
There was only one reason why Ma Laoliu was placed by his side by his father. Because he had a bad image, he was bald and could not be brought into the East Palace.
And she really didn't dare to see her father.
As for whether Yang Xuangan will be obedient, it is uncertain. Normal people will definitely be obedient, but Yang Xuangan is obviously not a normal person.
Since Yang Liang left the General Manager's Mansion, the place has been vacant, but it is often cleaned, so it is still clean.
The man bowed his hands in greeting and said, "I am under the command of Yang Xuangan, the governor of Ezhou."
The courtyard to the north of the inner garden was used as Yang Ming's dormitory. Yang Yinjiang was placed on the east side, Chen Shuyi and Gao Yue were placed on the west side, and the surrounding houses were where the servants lived.
The current governor of Jiangling County is called Murong Sanzang. He is from Xianbei in the Northeast and is now fifty-four years old.
During this period, Yang Ming's team stayed in Xiangyang County and Jingling County for several days, and arrived at Jiangling County on December 28th.
On the day of keeping the New Year's Eve, twenty-four bonfires were set up in the Governor's Mansion for the New Year's Eve. Yang Ming would distribute the food and wine in the treasury, and all the guards and servants would have a share, as well as a share of the New Year's money.
At present, Yang Ming's family has been completely separated. When he goes to Daxing in the future, the Jin Prince's Mansion will be his eldest brother's home, not his parents' home anymore.
The scale of Jiangling County is far beyond that of Hedong County. In any case, this place was the capital of the Liang Kingdom twenty years ago.
Although the method was cruel, the entire Jingzhou area was indeed suppressed in a short period of time. After Yang Laowu took over, the Jingzhou area was already a land of peace.
Especially three days later is the New Year's Eve, which is the best time for them to give gifts.
Yang Ming once asked Yang Yinjiang if she wanted to meet her father. Yang Yinjiang shook her head. She really didn't dare to see him because she was afraid that her father would take her back.
Are you diao?
Yang Ming pointed directly at the other party and said: "Who are you?"
Besides, collecting your things now will not affect how I collect your things in the future.
If my uncle sent someone to deliver a message, he would undoubtedly arrive in Jiangxia before them.
With two thousand people in the General Manager's Office, the expenses are very high, and Yang Ming's main source of income is taxes from Hedong. In Jingzhou, he only has that salary.
The Hongnong Yang family's influence in the Jingzhou area basically came from Yang Xuangan, and Yang Xuangan obviously didn't have much ability, but he had the Hongnong Yang family behind him.
The Emperor's Calendar of the Sui Dynasty was based on the lunar calendar, and the beginning of January was definitely the beginning of the year, also known as the New Year's Day, which was also known as the Spring Festival in later generations.
The Xia calendar is the calendar of the Xia Dynasty, also known as the Yellow calendar. It was changed to the lunar calendar in 1970.
Six days later, we passed Xiyang County and entered the border of Hubei Province, where we could see waterways crisscrossing the area.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, Yang Yinjiang's appearance was not like that of her father at all. Yang Xuangan's appearance was somewhat rough and ugly.
In this case, Yang Yinjiang would definitely not dare to get out of the car.
As one of the four general managers of the Sui Dynasty, the Jingzhou General Manager's Mansion was extremely grand and imposing. The two stone lions at the door were as big as the pair in the Jin Prince's Mansion.
Jingzhao Wei, at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the first general manager of Jingzhou was Wei Shikang, the eldest brother of Wei Chong, the father-in-law of the second son Yang Jin. It is said that after Wei Shikang took office, he also killed many people in the Jingzhou area, and even killed some families
Directly uprooting, not even sparing young children, it is completely killing the families.
Yang Ming knew very well that how loyal his group of people was depends entirely on how much benefit they could get from following him, so this year's annual salary was quite generous, and each person had a consistent amount of money, such as Yuan Wendu, Pang Ben and others.
Ten gold each.
His salary is a bit embarrassing to talk about. In one year, it only amounts to several thousand guan of money and ten thousand shi of grain.
This kid had a nickname when he was a kid, called Demented Boy. Looking at it again, he is indeed a bit stupid.
Murong Sanzang led a hundred officials to greet Yang Ming at the city gate, and beside him stood an eye-catching middle-aged man in official uniform.
As for the remaining 900 servants and maids, Yang Ming left them all to Yang Yinjiang to take care of them. Logically speaking, Chen Shuyi should be the one to do this kind of thing, but it was a pity that she couldn't do it.
As for Yuan Wendu and his servants, they live in the front office.
It's really a coincidence that the time has come so fast that I can collect some New Year's money again before the end of the year.
And he doesn't plan to build a mansion or buy a big house in Jiangling. It's not necessary.
The selection of these twelve people was decided by Yuan Wendu himself.
But Yang Ming didn't think so, how could he shut out the gift-giver? There was no discipline in the Sui Dynasty, so no one cared about how much he received.
Further south, Yang Ming could see a broad river stretching across the land. This is the Han River, the fifth largest tributary of the Yangtze River.
The Han River originates from the Qinling Mountains and flows eastward to join the Yangtze River in Jiangxia County. Jiangxia County is Wuhan. Wuhan was called Hankou in ancient times because this is the entrance of the Han River.
Yang Ming saw her worries, so he sent a letter to the governor Murong Sanzang, asking him to inform Yang Xuangan and order him to return to his place of responsibility.
To make money, you have to be self-reliant.
Even though he had sent out so much today, he would be able to recover it all that night. I heard Xu Jing come back and say that the streets outside the Governor's Mansion were blocked and there was no carriage in sight. When the time came, he would enter the mansion to pay his respects.
Yang Ming.
As soon as Youshi arrived, the gate of the General Manager's Mansion was pushed open by guards from both sides, and New Year greeters flocked in. However, ninety-nine percent of them could not enter the inner garden, let alone see Yang Ming's face.
