Chapter 344 Jiangling
As expected, Gao Baoxu finally accepted the position of King Nanping and the governor of Jingnan, thus becoming the fourth king of Nanping, at the age of 37.
Gao Jiechong, the son of Gao Baorong, is eighteen years old. Although he is already an adult among the people, he is still a young and minor in politics. Everyone has no objection to Gao Baoxu's successor to the position of King Nanping.
Nanping Kingdom is located in a critical situation and cannot control it without sufficient political wisdom. Moreover, there is nothing to fight for in the three states, but not the whole world.
The closed Jiangling city gate finally opened three days later. The merchants who had stayed behind for many days finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly hung up the white silk to mourn the death of the Nanping Lord.
In a chaotic world, Nanping did not prohibit the rules of eating meat and eating wine. It only required that within three days, no marriage would be allowed, drinking and dancing, and merchants would be in the same way as before. The whole of Jiangling continued this prosperous life.
In order to accumulate wealth and use it to support the army, the countries around the world value business, but they are not as good as Nanping. Nanping's business is extremely developed, and the boundaries of the market have long been broken, and sleepless nights have long become a reality.
Moreover, in rural towns, a large number of grass markets (regular markets) have also appeared, which has flourished the rural economy. In addition, it has a convenient location, where goods from all over the country gather and then shipped out. Just by withdrawing taxes, there will be a lot of money.
Gao Baoxu has always been good at governing the country. Although Nanping's military has been declining, its economy has continued to develop. The long-term peace has nourished a large population and thus created this prosperous small country.
It was the autumn harvest season, and merchants in Nanping were better than those of one day. On the stone road, there were endless caravans coming and going, either speaking in the words of Shu, soft words of Jiangnan, or rough words of the Central Plains, which made the entire Jiangling City crowded with people, swept shoulder to shoulder, and sweating into rain, which almost became a fact.
In this chaotic era, Jiangling City has its own commercial genes, which has expanded its population to 300,000, accounting for half of the country. Merchants like this city. Although it is not as vast as Tokyo Bianliang, it has its own harmony and security. This is something that Tokyo cannot give due to food shortages, war disasters, floods and fires.
"Stop, where do you come from?" The guards of Jiangling City couldn't help but feel trembling when they saw a large team of hundreds of people. The carriages were gorgeous and the soldiers were all equipped with armor. They were even more elite than the fang soldiers they had seen in the past.
"We are envoys of the Tang Dynasty!" A few cavalry from the south walked out of the team and said condescendingly, with a look of arrogance:
"Get out of the way, otherwise you will suffer from your hardships!"
"No--" Hearing that it was an envoy, the city guard immediately let go, bent down, with a respectful look on his face, and the others helped to separate the crowd and make a big road.
"Brother, which country is this Tang Dynasty?" The city guards on the side looked at the gorgeous team and couldn't help but feel curious and asked hurriedly.
"How can I know that there are so many countries in the world!" Chengwei said with an indifferent look:
"But no matter which Tang Dynasty it is, it is better than our Nanping. We all respect and respect it, and there will always be no mistake!"
The city guards around him were also impressed.
"It is worthy of being built by more than 100,000 people over a day. The city is high and wide, and it is even better than Changsha!" Fang Zeshan lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the prosperous Jiangling City. He couldn't help but sigh. The first time he was on a mission to Nanping, he never thought it would be such a prosperous territory.
"I hope the king of Nanping can be sensible and it will be worth my trip!" He smiled. This prosperous city will be the northernmost city of the Tang Dynasty.
Upon hearing the news, Sun Guangxian, a resident of the Jiedushi shogunate, frowned, quickly cleaned up, and then came to the palace to prepare to meet the King of Nanping.
Sun Guangxian served the King of Nanping for three generations. He was entrusted by Liang Zhen to Gao Conghui. Gao Conghui trusted Liang Zhen very much, and then all the political affairs were entrusted to him, and he had great trust.
Gao Conghui always envied the luxury of King Chu, and said to the officials: "If you are like King Ma (that should refer to the son of King Ma Yin of the Five Dynasties), you can be called a real man." Sun Guangxian said: "The emperor and the princes should have rank differences according to the etiquette system. He is a boy who is not tired of being arrogant, extravagant, and overbearing the etiquette system. He only seeks temporary happiness. He doesn't know when he will die, so how can he be envied?"
Gao Conghui suddenly woke up and said, "Mr. Sun's words are right." Nanping reached its peak when Gao Conghui was about to reach his peak.
When Gao Baorong succeeded to the throne, he had great trust in such old ministers and never had any doubts, which made Nanping's political arena stable and ensured the wealth of the Gao family.
Gao Baoxu succeeded to the throne for several days, and according to the convention, all state affairs should be entrusted to Sun Guangxian. The royal family always respected Sun Eng, who was under one person and above ten thousand people in Nanping. After learning that he was welcomed, he hurriedly ran away and reported to the lord.
Then, a man led the way.
At this time, Gao Baoxu was leading his concubines and enjoying his own fun.
In the hall, the strong soldiers screened from the army were naked and naked, and were fighting fiercely with the prostitutes summoned from the brothel. On the blankets in the hall, their bodies were lingering together, and moans and panting sounded throughout the hall.
Gao Baoxu, with his concubine, was watching with great interest outside the curtain, looking at it with great interest, fearing that he would miss it.
At this time, an eunuch came in and ignored this scene. Before the king ascended the throne, he was so happy that no one could stop him.
"What, Mr. Sun is here?" Gao Baoxu was shocked and his eyebrows frowned instantly. It was the time of intense heat. It was extremely reluctant to let him leave. Moreover, if Mr. Sun saw it, it would be inevitable that he would give up his direct advice. Thinking of these, he would be completely lost in his interest.
"Disast! Come again tomorrow!" He waved his hand and was in a fierce collision with the men and women in the hall. Naturally, he did not dare to disobey. Even if he was in a hurry, he could only disperse.
"Let's go to the study--" He smelled the smell in the hall from his nose, Gao Baoxu took a deep breath nostalgically, hugged his concubine and groped up and down for a while, and then he left reluctantly.
"The king of the country, the envoy from the Tang Dynasty, congratulates the king on his ascension and also brings the enthronement edict!" Sun Guangxian soon saw the king of the country, bowed slightly, and said directly.
"Can you bring a gift?" Gao Baoxu frowned and asked.
"Hundreds of people, ten cars are extremely rich!" Sun Guangxian had become accustomed to this question. This is the tradition of Nanping. Nanping was too poor. When wars came, there were too many merchants and merchants and could not collect taxes. The key is that in this chaotic era, wars are fought every day, especially in the Central Plains.
