Chapter 426 Yangzhou, the first stop in the south of the Yangtze River
"Who seduced you?"
Ju Huan's pretty face flushed, and she didn't know whether she should be ashamed or relieved.
Seeing Jiang Chen closing his eyes with heavy breathing, she quickly shook and asked, "Official, who do you think is better than Emperor Maode or Emperor Ande? If the official family wants you to be the prince consort, which one do you choose?"
"I don't want Prince Shang!" Jiang Chen shook his head in a daze.
"Why? Are you worried that you can't join the cabinet? But have you broken the rules now?" Ju Huan looked puzzled.
"No, I'm afraid that the princess will bully my Yue Niang and Huan'er." After Jiang Chen said that, he tilted his head and pretended to be asleep.
"Official..."
Ju Huanfang's heart trembled, and she looked at Jiang Chen's clear-edged side face, and couldn't help but pounce on him.
Xun'er, who was serving the side, also said with emotion: "Young master is so great! How lucky is it to be able to serve us?"
"Haha, I think you want to serve for the rest of your life, right?" Ping'er said with a teasing look on her face.
"So what? Don't you want to?" Xun'er retorted.
"I...I'm not separated from Sister Huan'er, it's different from you."
As Ping'er spoke, she looked at Ju Huan with a loyal face, and then covered her eyes with a pretty face flushed: "Oh my God! Sister Huan'er is so fierce."
...
The next day, after meeting Jiang Chen, Zong Ze set off early in the morning with the 10,000 troops that Jiang Chen had collected for him and the Limen Anmin Propaganda Team.
Zhao Mingcheng, Jiang Xiao and others also left at the same time.
Li Qingzhao followed the princess's carriage and rushed to Yangzhou with Jiang Chen three days later.
Although the war in Jiangnan is in full swing and people are living in poverty, Yangzhou is still prosperous and is full of paper and gold.
Empress Dowager Liu's brothers Liu Lian and He Shu both live here because they are worried that Hangzhou will be defeated by Fang La.
Both of these people were both Jiang Nan who were tricked by Jiang Chen. At first, they were full of resentment towards Jiang Chen, but after obtaining huge gains, especially after He Shu divided the credit for the mission to Jin Kingdom and promoted the title, he now has a much calmer mentality.
When Jiang Chen and his party arrived, they actually looked close to Jiang Chen as if they met old friends.
Jiang Chen knew that the main reason for this was that these two bastards couldn't kill him, so he didn't take it seriously.
After relocating the two princes, he went to Lingtang Villa, the Limen stronghold in Yangzhou.
Wu Song's old master, the former prefect Gao Quan of Hangzhou, and Liu Mingjie, who arrived in advance, all lived in Lingtang Villa.
There are no high mountains in Yangzhou. Compared with Yuqing Mountain in Bianjing, Lingtang Villa is just a lush mound with lush trees.
However, based on Liu Lian's help, the area is not much smaller than that of Yuqing Villa. Walking inside is quite like a vast land and sparsely populated people.
After Gao Quan and Liu Mingjie's family learned that Jiang Chen was coming, they all greeted them with the person in charge of Jiang Jun and others with joy:
"Meet Lord Jiang!"
"I've seen the young master!"
"Cousin, why did you come?"
"Brother Chen, the road is very hard, right? I've lost weight, but I feel sorry for my cousin and aunt!"
While everyone was celebrating, Liu Mingjie, cousin and aunt came closer with a look of showing off.
Um-
This is a damn familiarity!
Jiang Chen's mouth twitched, and he greeted Liu Mingjie's family with amusement and tears.
Then, on the grounds of discussing the matter, he came to the conference hall with Jiang Jun, Gao Quan and others.
This was his first stop to Jiangnan, and it was also the key point for him to establish his reputation and layout. He did not want to delay important matters by dealing with Liu Mingjie's family.
...
In the conference hall, Jiang Chen sat upright in the main seat. After hearing the rewards from Jiang Jun and others, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay! You didn't disappoint me! Very well prepared!"
"There is sufficient preparation! But..."
Jiang Jun shook his head bitterly and said, "But, except for the people and merchants in Yangzhou, landlords, gentry and Confucian students are extremely repulsive of our family.
Even if we are a disciple of the school, we will be surrounded and humiliated by Confucian students when we go out, so that no one dares to go out now!"
"Yes, Yangzhou is mostly a wealthy clan who come to support or relax in the country, and has an essential conflict of interest with our philosophy of family management.
In addition, all officials at all levels are Zhu Xie’s confidant. If it weren’t for the help of Liu Lian and Lord Liu, I’d be afraid that they would have demolished the place long ago!”
When a group of people from the Limen saw Jiang Chen coming, they all talked about the grievances they suffered after coming to Yangzhou, hoping that Jiang Chen could seek justice for them and let out a sigh of anger in their hearts.
