However, people-to-people exchanges between the two sides have become closer.

Thanks to the official opening of Hamming Bank, the people of more than 20 prefectures have no other choice, and the businessmen who are accustomed to carrying bills and remittances will naturally not be stupid enough to spend more than 10% of the freight to transport a huge amount of silver taels to do business.

In the land of the eleven prefectures, under the personal control of Mo Zhinian, more than 100 officials and more than 200 merchants were disposed of.

The decree of pastoral administration under the General's Office was clear, and the opposition was almost zero.

Of course, it is impossible to be loyal to everyone, but under such high pressure, I am afraid that even the most courageous should restrain themselves for a while and calm down.

Jiangnan, where there is no clan, less corrupt officials, and no profiteers, the air has become clean.

It does not mean that overnight, the entire Haiyan River in the south of the Yangtze River has been cleared, and people's hearts cannot be reversed overnight.

However, it took Wu Zheng five years to sow the seeds in Shaoxing, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Songjiang, and with the help of the three major colleges and universities and the Ming Society, they have taken root and grown strongly.

The time is ripe for a new generation to replace the old one.

The reason why Wu Zheng so resolutely chose to completely purge the three strata of the clan, corrupt officials, and profiteers at the same time was not because of a hot head or just because the Mo Changlin case involved the clan, but because of the last battle launched against the internal enemy.

Since it is a war, there can be no mercy, or there is no war, and the war will be won.

Just as a great man once famously said, "If you don't fight anything that is reactionary, it won't fall." It's like dust on the ground. If you don't have a broom, the dust won't run away on its own. ”

Only action can change the status quo.

Five years is not a long time, but it is by no means a short time, and after these five years, what should be transformed has been transformed.

If you haven't changed yet, then don't wait.

There was no time to spend any longer, so Wu Zheng resolutely took action.

More than 10,000 clans were swept away, leaving the opponents in the jurisdiction without a leader.

The dismissal of more than 100 officials accelerated the replacement of the old and the new in the officialdom, and also stabilized the hearts of the students of Jiangnan Academy, enabling them to firmly stand in the camp of Wu Zheng and have the courage to resist the old forces.

More than 200 profiteers were punished, involving more than 1,000 people, and were fined silver and hard labor at the worst, and imprisoned, beheaded, and confiscated from their families. This move made Jiangnan businessmen understand a truth, in addition to the instinct of mercenary, there is also a need to have a bottom line.

Waiting for this day, Wu Zheng has been waiting for a long time.

The case of Mo Changlin of the Mo family is nothing more than a catalyst, to be precise, a fuse.

From the day Zhu Cihong ordered to hunt down and kill him, the break with the Zhu family was already a certainty, and there was no room for maneuver.

It's just that Wu Zheng has an introverted personality, and he plans before acting.

Either don't move, or move or be shocking.

Wu Zheng had even discussed with Ma Shiying the possibility of taking this opportunity to clear the monarch's side.

Yes, Ma Shiying's suggestion in front of Qian Sule was not groundless, this was the result of Wu Zheng's discussion with Ma Shiying after learning that Qian Sule had survived and rushed to Xiushui County, of course, because the incident happened suddenly, it has not really been decided.

Therefore, at this time, Wu Zheng had actually bitten the Zhu family viciously.

It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come.

From Zhu Yihai to Zhu Cihong, Wu Zheng was fed up, and Zhu Yu was ...... Thinking of this name, Wu Zheng's heart couldn't help but twitch, how should she be placed?

What made Wu Zheng happy was that the arrival of Qian Sule made some things clear.

Although Qian Sule took almost everything over, the essence of this incident made Wu Zheng breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Simin is still under house arrest, not Wu Zheng's ruthlessness, this is a gesture, to show the north, tell her, I know the matter, people are also under house arrest, don't come to trouble me again.

……。

To the north of Zhenhai Tower, close to Hupu Academy.

There is a yard covering an area of about three acres.

It was originally the property of the Mo family, but at this time, it has become a money house.

Wu Zheng originally wanted to place Qian Sule in the palace, but the Wu family was not large, and his father Wu Bochang did not want to live in the palace.

In Wu Zheng's opinion, this palace is really a waste.

When Wu Zheng wanted Qian Sule to live in the palace, it was convenient to talk about things, and he was also filial.

It's just that Qian Sule resolutely disagrees, for him, living in his son-in-law's house is tantamount to slapping him.

So Wu Zheng asked Mo Zhinian to help find a house, it just so happened that the Mo family had a house on the edge of Hupu Academy, and the size was just right, although it was not luxurious, it was a little shabby in terms of the identity of Qian Sule's wife, but Qian Sule couldn't stand it.

For him, he can listen to the sound of reading day and night, which is a great joy in life, if it is not a troubled time, he would prefer a bowl of old wine, two dishes of side dishes, three or five friends, and talk about the present and the past.

That night, Qian Sule and his daughter talked about themselves in the house.

"Xuan'er, how have you been doing in the past six months?"

"My daughter is very good, thank you father for worrying, how is my father?" Qian Jinxuan didn't even know that her father almost lost his life this time, and she didn't know that a civil war almost broke out.

Wu Zheng concealed it very firmly, not only Qian Jinxuan didn't know, but Wu Xiaomei and Zhou Simin didn't know either.

Therefore, Qian Jinxuan was happy to see her father.

Qian Sule smiled, and he was very relieved to see his daughter laughing from the bottom of her heart.

"That's good, the previous bad things, my father has already made it clear to King Wu, and you don't have to worry about it anymore...... However, you have to go and apologize to King Wu, you are a new wife, I think he won't blame you too much. ”

Qian Jinxuan's face became gloomy, "There is indeed something wrong with my daughter in this matter...... Although the intention was good, after all, it was hidden from him, and it was inappropriate to be emotional and reasonable. ”

"It's really for my father's owe of it, Huang Xiang said that at that time, my father really thought that this was a good way to solve the dispute between the royal family and King Wu, but now I know...... The cow doesn't drink water and pushes its head, which is not a thing. ”

Seeing her father's melancholy face, Qian Jinxuan got up and walked behind Qian Sule and gently slapped her father's shoulder, "Actually, my daughter also thinks that this is really inappropriate now, my daughter heard that the General's Mansion spends as much as 320,000 taels per month for the clan, and this year, it must be 4 million taels, which is equivalent to twice the amount of officials in the prefectures and counties under the General's Mansion...... But these people don't do anything at all, and they often make some dirty things, this is still under the pressure of the husband, if it is in Yingtianfu, I shudder when I think about it. ”

Speaking of this, Qian Jinxuan carefully looked at Qian Sule's face, and saw that her father didn't seem to be angry, so she continued: "If the husband is really ...... Royal marriage, so these people, I'm afraid it will be even more rampant? It's not that the daughter cares about the status of the housewife, but when the financial secretary is in deficit, the father also ordered his daughter to supplement the silver of the weaving mansion to King Lu, for the clan to recruit troops and horses to fight against her husband, which is ...... That's really ...... It's so inappropriate. ”
