"It's not that you are great, brother Mian. If you are really helpful, my cousin Princess Wenchang is only fifteen years old, and she is just right for you." Hong Chenyi smiled innocently, and even threw out temptations as a joke.
Lin Haoming just rolled his eyes when facing Hong Chenyi, but regarding this matter, Lin Haoming knew that he could not avoid it, and Lin Haoming suspected that someone must have come to the palace, maybe it was the Lingfei, and he really wanted to meet her for a while.
"I said this matter will be avoided. If you marry a princess, you will not be allowed to leave the capital without the emperor's order." Lin Haoming shook his head directly.
"Brother Mian, you want to avenge your father. With your current ability, when will you be able to do it? Yi Yasheng is already dead. Your biggest enemy is the emperor of the West God Kingdom. If you want to destroy the West God Kingdom, you You want to become a general after all, right?" Hong Chenyi asked.
Lin Haoming pretended to be touched, looked at him, and finally frowned, saying: "You have posed a big problem for me, but I don't know anything about the harem, so I can't do anything about it right now."
"Don't worry. If you want to know anything on our way back, I'll tell you everything I know." Hong Chenyi was overjoyed to see Lin Haoming seem to compromise.
Only Hong Chenyi and Lin Haoming returned to Beijing, and they only brought a few soldiers with them. Even Mian Lifeng, Lin Haoming couldn't take him with him. After making great achievements several times, this guy was already a captain of thousands and needed to be recruited. We can only find a way later.
It was much more comfortable to return to Beijing with Hong Chenyi than when he fled. He was riding a horse and whipping his whip. They were treated respectfully at the inns along the way, and even some officials along the way greeted them with smiles.
Along the way, Hong Chenyi also told everything he knew as much as possible.
Lin Haoming soon learned some of the details. It turned out that some things were indeed more complicated than he imagined.
That concubine is the daughter of the current governor of Shangliang County. Shangliang County is the most important county in Nanshen Kingdom. The entire Nanshen Kingdom has Shangliang familiarity. Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, Shangliang County A good harvest in one year can indeed be worth nearly half of the entire Southern God Kingdom. Shangliang County, under the management of Grandpa Lingfei and Gao Yishun, has had a good harvest for more than ten years. It can be said that the Southern God Kingdom can be stable and has a good relationship with it. important.
The reason why Yang Kangkai married Gao Yishun's daughter back then was to stabilize Shangliang County. After cutting off the influence of his maternal relatives, none of your concubines have fathers and brothers with heavy troops. Even if the queen wants to train her natal family, she does not dare to let herself A nephew, let alone a brother, so this is the reason why a cousin like Hong Chenyi can get the opportunity.
To a certain extent, Yang Kangkai can be regarded as an enterprising emperor. However, although His Majesty the Emperor has great ambitions, he has never fulfilled them. After he was deposed twenty or thirty years ago, he came to prominence for the first time. The next one is this time. Tianzhu City was captured, but it was largely a coincidence that Tianzhu City was won.
Lin Haoming was thinking about some characters and followed Hong Chenyi to the capital.
The capital of the Southern Divine Kingdom is also called Junjing City. It was originally called Xuzhou City. It was originally the largest and most prosperous city in the south of the Eastern Emperor Divine Kingdom. The Junhe River originates from Wanghai Mountain in the southeast of the Dongzhou Continent, and flows from east to west, flowing into the sea. There are very few rivers flowing from west to east in the entire Dongzhou.
The terrain of Wanghai Mountain is not high, but because of this mountain range, it blocks sea storms, and because it is not high, all the rainwater is not blocked, making the west of Wanghai Mountain a fertile land with good weather. Shangliang County Just west of Wanghai Mountain, it has become the most important granary in the entire Southern God Kingdom.
When the Donghuang Divine Kingdom was unified, Xuzhou City was the most important city built on the Xu River to transfer supplies from the south. Supplies from all over the south were gathered in Xuzhou City, and then followed the Xu River all the way into the east. Because of this, Xuzhou City is extremely prosperous in Dongzhou. It can even be said that it is the largest city in Dongzhou, but the imperial palace is the smallest.
The imperial palace of the Southern God Kingdom was originally a remodeled royal palace. Unlike the extensive expansion of the Northern God Kingdom, it simply built a meeting hall and slightly expanded it. The founding emperor of the Southern God Kingdom, the King of Zhennan at that time, advocated frugality, and this trend has continued. , although it is impossible for the successors to be like the King of Zhennan, relatively speaking, they will not be proud of extravagance in anything they do.
When Lin Haoming followed Hong Chenyi into the capital, it happened to be late spring. Along the banks of the Jun River, flowers bloomed on both sides of the river. The river was sparkling. There were boats on the river one after another. From time to time, the sound of boatmen's horns could be heard. , it’s really a bustling scene.
There are eight city gates in Junjing City, but in addition to the gates on land, the east and west gates also have water gates for ships to enter and exit.
Lin Haoming followed Hong Chenyi and entered from the west gate. Across the river embankment was the entrance to the water gate. Compared with the gate on land, there were soldiers to check and release. The same was true for the water gate. Incoming ships had to be inspected at the pier before they could enter the city. On the contrary, the ships coming out could not enter the city. You only need to show the certificate to the soldiers before you can be released.
Because there were so many ships, Lin Haoming saw the queue of ships thirteen or four miles away. At this moment, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "General Hong, there are so many ships entering the city, why don't you simplify the procedures?"
"Hey, it's easy to simplify the procedures, but when too many ships come in at once, sometimes it's difficult to control the price of items. I asked my parents about this question many years ago. If there are too many goods, the price will plummet. On the contrary, it will It affects the business, so this inspection also has a purpose." Hong Chenyi pointed at the ships and explained.
Lin Haoming didn't expect that the Southern God Kingdom would also consider this aspect. It seemed that he still underestimated this side.
Because they were recalled on official business, no one stopped the group from entering the city. However, horses were strictly prohibited from galloping in the city, so they could only walk slowly on horseback.
The Hong family is not in the capital, but they also have residence in the capital. Hong Chenyi's uncle is still a Taiwei, so he naturally wants to go there, but the two of them still have to go to the military headquarters to report on their duties and confirm the specific arrangements.
Because Lin Haoming had no place to live, he arranged to live in a separate courtyard of the military headquarters for generals who reported on their duties. Hong Chenyi mentioned on the road that he would arrange a place for Lin Haoming in the capital, but Lin Haoming refused. Next, Lin Haoming thought it was better to be more cautious. Hong Chenyi saw this and didn't mention it again.
After entering the military headquarters, Lin Haoming discovered that the military headquarters was small and pitiful, with only a few pavilions and a lot of people coming in and out. However, there was only one place for guests to rest. People who came here to do business and wait, Regardless of their official positions, they were all in the same room. Lin Haoming and Hong Chenyi were also sitting here, staring at each other with other people who came here to do business.
