Of course, even if it is not now, before the rise of Wu Zheng's power, the goods of various prefectures will not be unsold.

Because of the low productivity at that time, the demand for any goods is greater than the supply, as long as there are goods in hand, there is no worry about not being able to sell, which is also the reason why a merchant in the old days was only worried about not being able to buy the goods, and not worrying about not being able to sell.

But now there is something different, with the deliberate guidance of the government and the rational allocation of manpower and material resources, coupled with the promotion of textile machinery to the people, the output of goods, especially the output of silk and cotton fabrics, has been incomparable.

The workshop must be close to the port, firstly, the transportation in and out is simple, the supply and marketing are convenient, and secondly, the security and taxation here are appropriate.

Therefore, the people of these four prefectures, as long as they are not lazy and say that they want to be hungry, it is impossible, regardless of men and women, they can see countless workshops recruiting workers on the streets.

Textile workshops are the most mainstream, and then drive a series of industries, such as printing and dyeing, logistics, catering and so on.

are all recruiting, and the daily salary is getting higher day by day.

This led to a rapid influx of people from the surrounding provinces.

Let's put it this way, at the beginning, Wu Zheng filled the prisoners because of the lack of population for the construction of the new city, but now, he is only worried about guiding the population to the rest of the provinces.

Originally, when it was sold to 1521 acres of wasteland around the new city of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Wu Zheng boasted that it would be 2521 acres in three years, in fact, the land price around the new city is now 321 acres, and there is no market.

This is very abnormal, the housing prices in the capital of the Ming Dynasty are not so high, and an ordinary one-acre courtyard is more than 100 taels.

But Xincheng is different, it is not only a residence, but also a business, which can make money.

And the most important thing for businessmen from all over the world to go ashore is to buy a piece of land.

In this case, coupled with the coaxing of profiteers, it is no wonder that the land price is not high.

But in the face of such a deformed land price, Wu Zheng did not react in the slightest, and it was even more impossible to curb it.

Wu Zheng knows very well in his heart that there is still more room for the land price of the new city to rise.

In the future, the shrewdness of the world, with a little calculation, can know that the monthly salary of ordinary people is generally three or four taels per month, and the annual salary is more than forty taels, and one acre of land is three hundred taels, which is only seven or eight years, but what about the future generations? This is one acre, even if it is a small acre, at least it is equivalent to 500 square meters of land in later generations, and when converted, it is still cheap, and one square meter is only six dollars of silver.

Of course, the population at this time was less than 10% of the later generations, but on the other hand, the population density of the limited land of the new city at this time was no less than that of the first-tier cities in later generations.

It is also Wu Zheng's acquiescence and instigation, and the land price is still rising wildly.

But as a result of this unexpected purge, land prices seem to have stopped rising in an instant, and even began to loosen and fall slightly.

Countless people, especially merchants, especially those who were inextricably linked to the clan, began to adopt a wait-and-see attitude.

And the news slowly spread, spreading to the west, south, and north, and the nearest is naturally the capital of the Yixing Dynasty - Yingtianfu.

The imperial court reacted immediately.

First of all, the night owl of the inner court was officially renamed Jinyiwei.

Secondly, all the officials who were close to the Great General's Mansion in the south were supervised, and the only exceptions were two people, Qian Sule and Huang Daozhou, who were still allowed to go to the court, but had lost their power.

Third, the newly organized Jingwei was divided into left and right commanders, and Liao Zhaoping commanded the left battalion to deploy along the river in the north. Zhang Tongchang, who went north to Yingtianfu with the Zodiac Zhou, was originally a Hanlin scholar of the Longwu Dynasty and the great-grandson of Zhang Juzheng, the famous minister of the Wanli Dynasty, and was promoted to the commander of the right capital overnight, leading the right battalion out of Beijing and stationed in Changzhou Mansion.

In the end, the gossip that a righteous son of heaven was going to marry Zhang Tongchang, the commander of the right capital, came out.

The mountain breeze is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and the situation of the world has changed dramatically because of the seemingly sudden incident in the General's Mansion.

……。

At this time, east of Jinshanwei, hundreds of nautical miles away in the sea area of Chen Qian Mountain.

A small naval battle broke out here.

Zhang Mingzhen led the main force of the Wusong Naval Division, a total of more than 150 gunboats, from north to south, intercepting the main force of Wang Deren's fleet.

This is a naval battle without suspense.

Wang Deren's fleet was only about 30 ships of all sizes on the way back after plundering passing merchant ships.

Therefore, when the guns of the main ships of the Wusong Water Division were not within the range of the guns, Wang Deren immediately ordered to flee north.

However, after half a day of chasing me.

When Wang Deren's fleet reached the waters of about 300 nautical miles east of Luojia Mountain, it was intercepted by Wang Yilin, a master of Zhoushan Water.

Wang Yilin's department has more than 60 warships, four new-style warships, and the rest are old ships of the Zhoushan Water Division.

But even so, it is larger than Wang Deren's fleet.

Faced with the pursuers in the rear and the interception in the front, Wang Deren wisely chose to surrender.

He sent a small boat to ask Wang Yilin to surrender, which was accepted by Wang Yilin.

When the two sides approached, Wang Deren was summoned to the flagship by Wang Yilin, and then Wang Yilin suddenly changed his face and ordered Wang Deren to be killed on the spot.

Poor Wang Deren never thought that after two years of crisscrossing this sea area, he would die so silently.

It is estimated that on the Huangquan Road, he may regret that he should not surrender and fight to the death, or he may regret that he should not betray Wu Zheng.

However, there is obviously no regret medicine.

Subsequently, Wang Yilin's department met with Zhang Mingzhen's water division, and after the two discussed, they turned around and went north, and surrounded several islands in the sea area of Chen Qianshan.

It does not take the initiative to attack, but only besieges.

Seven days later, the island's men were forced to surrender.

Immediately afterwards, according to the confessions of the surrenderers, they went to several islands west of Chen Qianshan and forced Wang Deren's other troops to surrender.

……。

Lu Wangfu.

There are no longer the bustling visitors of the past.

The door of the house was closed, and there was no trace of anyone except for the soldiers patrolling by the second and third teams.

Zhu Yihai had already ordered the soldiers outside the door to ask Wu Zheng for a meeting three times, but no news was returned.

Perhaps because of what happened and a clear understanding, Zhu Yihai no longer asked to see him, and chose to close his door, as if he was going to live a life of seclusion.

At this time, a dark red sedan chair and eight attachés came to the door of the mansion.

The guard on duty in front of the door stepped forward to stop him, handed out a jade plaque from the sedan chair, and the guard immediately retreated.

The small sedan chair entered the Lu Wang's Mansion, and the attaché stayed outside the door, and the door of the mansion was closed immediately.

Zhu Yihai was very calm.

Whether it's really calm, or pretending to be calm, it's very calm anyway.

This is Ma Shiying's first feeling when she sees Zhu Yihai.

"Meet His Royal Highness King Lu." Ma Shiying saluted.

"Sit down." Zhu Yihai's face was still calm, "Lord Ma came this time to kill this king, or do you want to pass on something for King Wu?" Let's put it bluntly. ”
