Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong felt that he was so tired, more tired than bread noodles!

What kind of place is Jingkou? It's a strategic place. The officials in Jingkou are generally the emperor's confidantes. It's never been heard that they will be entrusted to princes and kings.

This Jingkou refers to Jingkou Guazhou Yishuijian Jingkou. Most people may not realize how powerful this place is.

Let's put it this way, after the emperor of the Southern Dynasties succeeded to the throne, he would first go to Jingkou to comfort and comfort people, and then send his confidantes to take charge of the place.

Xiao Zirong was not too clear about the strategic significance, but the important point could be seen from the emperor's attitude.

Where is this important military town suitable for the development of science and technology? Shouldn't the development of science and technology be in the inland hinterland that is not easy to be found?

Seeing Xiao Zirong's expression, Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's not very important there now."

Xiao Zirong said in his heart that I believe you are a ghost, you are a very bad old man.

When Xiao Xuexing made his move, he moved forward more around the place where the later generations of Hubei are located, and entered Yuzhou a little bit, which is the later Henan, and Jingkou was on the east side by the sea. The national border has not been pushed forward.

Xiao Zirong turned his head to look at Xiao Xuexing, originally wanting Xiao Xuexing to persuade the mad emperor, but unexpectedly Xiao Xuexing pondered for a while and said: "It's also appropriate."

Xiao Zirong took a deep breath: "Where is the right place?"

Strategically important places, is it because he is afraid that he will be under too little pressure?

Xiao Ji looked at the map and said: "It is indeed the most reassuring to leave it to Rong'er here."

Xiao Zirong originally wanted to say that place is very important, but when he heard Xiao Ji say that he was the most reassuring, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Xuan suspiciously: "Uncle, it's not like he doesn't even have a confidant who can put it there, right?"

Xiao Xuan said while feeding fruit to his grandson, "Of course my family is more at ease."

Xiao Zirong said in his heart that this might not be the case. In the royal family, his own family is the most dangerous.

However, this cannot be said, his uncle and cousin are very good to him, it is a bit hurtful to say it.

Xiao Xuexing said: "And Taoyuan City is here, and Taoyuan City can be included by the way, isn't it better than going to other places?"

Xiao Zirong's heart moved, and then he magnified the map in his mind and said hesitantly: "But if this is the case... the fiefdom is too big, right?"

The land area of ​​the Southern Qi Dynasty is not large, and the princes and kings... generally use counties as fiefdoms. Now that these three have drawn a few strokes, his fiefdoms can be compared to half a state.

Xiao Xuan was straightforward and confident: "My nephew has made great contributions, so what's the matter with giving me more land?"

Xiao Ji also said: "If the place is big, you can do it freely."

Xiao Zirong thought about it, and then said happily: "Okay."

Xiao Xuan shook his head helplessly, others were afraid that their fief was not big enough, and they had to persuade this brat to get more fief.

Xiao Xuan also wants Xiao Zirong to get more things close to him. As a small city, Taoyuan City is really making money, and it also depends on the comparison. Compared with other princes and kings, the money in Xiao Zirong's hand It's really not enough.

Xiao Xuan has not selected a prince yet, but the direction of the wind has already reached Xiao Ji.

According to reason, he should also let his son be the prince. It is unreasonable to choose Xiao Zirong, not to mention that his son has already given birth to his eldest grandson, which is relatively stable no matter how you look at it.

In this way, Xiao Xuan had to treat Xiao Zirong more kindly, because Xiao Zirong was the one who healed Xiao Ji's eyes.

Xiao Zirong didn't think about it, the only thing he was worried about now was whether Xiao Xuan could go out with this decree.

Xiao Xuan prepared a grand ceremony for Xiao Zirong's crowning king, saying that it was necessary to make up for it, because he was too hasty when he was crowned king of Xuancheng, even the imperial edict was written temporarily, and now it must be written gorgeously enough , and then take Xiao Zirong to sacrifice to the Taimiao.

Xiao Zirong didn't care, he didn't understand and didn't care much about these etiquette matters, but he knew that Xiao Xuan and the others cared enough, so let them torment.

It's just that he soon discovered one thing - he had to wear a large dress to worship the Ancestral Temple. The weather is already very hot now. Wearing this set of dress will make people go crazy in the process of getting dressed, let alone Going to worship on foot.

Yes, even when the emperor offered sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, the carriages were not sent directly to the door, but to the gate, and then walked in with all the civil and military officials.

Xiao Zirong was about to suffocate after knowing it, and now he deeply regrets why he didn't make an electric fan, especially a portable electric fan.

But he had already agreed to cooperate, and this matter had nothing to do with others, even Xiao Xuan could just issue an edict, but Xiao Xuan had to do the same despite the scorching heat, Xiao Zirong couldn't hold back anyway.

After worshiping the Taimiao, Xiao Zirong's official title changed from Xuancheng King to Jinling King.

Because he was officially crowned king, he naturally needed to move out of the palace to live in his own palace.

Both Xiao Xuan and Xiao Ji were a bit reluctant, especially Xiao Ji. Xiao Zirong was in the palace, and the probability of his son making trouble with him was greatly reduced. Every day when he opened his eyes, Xiao Tuanzi's first reaction was to find his cousin.

Children are innocent, they only know that there are delicious and interesting things in Xiao Zirong's place, and the uncle will play with him, the children are super happy there.

Xiao Zirong didn't bother to play with the children, but after Jinling became his fiefdom, he had to understand the situation there first, and then make preparations for becoming a feudal domain.

Xiao Xuan felt sorry for him, and kept him for a few months, and let him go when the weather cools down.

Xiao Zirong planned to take advantage of these few months to figure out the situation there first.

As for how to figure it out, besides the cheating device in his mind, he also has the biggest trick - Xiao Xuexing.

Xiao Zirong's happiest return to the palace was neither himself nor Xiao Xuexing, but Mu Lin.

Mu Lin consciously discovered Xiao Zirong's secret at the beginning, and he was thinking about how to exchange some benefits with Xiao Zirong.

In the end, I never expected to see Xiao Zirong again after I came back. Xiao Zirong was not in the palace, and he was locked up in the backyard and couldn’t get out. Although there was no shortage of food and clothing, I have seen no more than three people so far. He was such a playful person that he was going crazy.

After discovering that the palace was bustling, Mu Lin strongly demanded to see Xiao Zirong.

Xiao Zirong lived happily in the palace, and then there were many things, and he almost forgot about Mu Lin.

He was stunned for a moment when the long Shi Micai, whom Xiao Xuan had specially selected for him, came to ask about it. Then he remembered Mu Lin, felt a little guilty, and said directly: "Let him come."

Mu Lin was finally able to come out to let the wind go. Even if he couldn't get out of the palace, he still felt that the sky was blue and the wind was light. When he saw Xiao Zirong, he smiled and said: "Caomin has seen His Highness, but I haven't seen you for a few days. Your Highness is even more handsome and handsome."

Xiao Zirong smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but your lips are much sweeter."

Seeing that his attitude hadn't changed, Mu Lin was slightly relieved, but he didn't intend to tell him what he had discovered before.

He still knows that Xiao Xuexing is in his own palace these days, after all, the two palaces are next door.

Then Xiao Zirong didn't seem to be intimate with Xiao Xuexing in the palace, he suspected that he was wrong.

Mu Lin came over and asked curiously: "What's the matter with so many people coming to the palace two days ago?"

Xiao Zirong said: "Oh, my uncle changed a fief for me, and if we want to hold the ceremony again, he will send someone over to clean it up."

The corner of Mu Lin's mouth twitched: "I thought you were getting married from that posture."

Xiao Zirong waved his hand: "No rush."

Mu Lin couldn't hold back and asked, "I heard them calling you King Xuancheng before. Where did you change this time? Did you change to a better place?"

Xiao Zirong tilted his head and thought for a while and said: "It should be considered a better place for me, and the fiefdom is twice as large as before, and the population is three times as before."

This is the data that Xiao Xuexing told him.

Xuancheng is actually a very good place, otherwise it would be impossible for everyone from Xiao Luan to Xiao Xuexing to have been governors there.

Hey, looking at it this way, Xuancheng is still the birthplace of rebels, and all rebels have served as governors there.

It's just that for Xiao Zirong, the entire territory of Xuancheng is inland, and the water system is not well developed, so it's not very good.

And he also knew very well that Xiao Xuexing had been managing Xuancheng before, and Xiao Xuexing was probably worried about being misunderstood by Xiao Zirong.

After all, Xuancheng is now in his hands, and Xiao Zirong used to be like a puppet.

So Xiao Xuexing had long thought about changing his fiefdom, and this time it was just right.

As for why everyone is willing to let him be the king of Jinling, it is mainly because there are many coastlines there.

Everyone from his uncle to his two elder brothers knew that he had the ability to make salt, and Jinling had a long coastline, which meant that they were sending money to Xiao Zirong.

Xiao Zirong only realized it later when he was studying the map, and he was moved and funny for a moment.

In the end, I could only accept the kindness of my relatives, and at the same time, I made up my mind to work hard to manage the place well, and at the same time, the industrial zone must be built well.

Mu Lin was surprised when he heard that his fief had expanded so much: "The emperor treats you really well."

What is precious is not only the fiefdom but also the population, or the most important thing is the population.

Xiao Zirong smiled slightly: "My situation is special, so my uncle takes care of me, but I can't let him take care of me all the time."

Mu Lin asked: "Then when will you become a fan?"

Xiao Zirong said, "About August."

At that time, the weather had turned cooler and it was very suitable for the road.

Mu Lin did some calculations, and it was almost June now, and there was still a month or two left, so he immediately asked, "Then... what should I do?"

Xiao Zirong said: "Of course I left with me. To tell you the truth, don't think about personal freedom, but I won't short you of food and drink."

After hearing this, Mu Lin immediately felt relieved: "No problem, no problem, it's fine now."

Xiao Zirong originally wanted to say something to him, but Mi Cai came over and asked hesitantly, "Master Lang, where are the congratulatory gifts from the officials...?"

Xiao Zirong was a little surprised: "Just put it in the warehouse after counting." Is there any need to ask him?

Mi Cai had no choice but to say, "The warehouse...is already full, and there are still many left unfilled."

Xiao Zirong:? ? ? ?
