Now that Yuzhou has arrived, Chen Xi decided that he must clean up Huizhou immediately without stopping.

For a long time, Chen Xi has been focusing on the movements of Yuzhou and Yuan Sen, and he does not know much about Huizhou and Huizhou's Taishou Moqinghe.

"Look up the attribute values and relationship network of the Moqing River." Chen Xi came to the study and ordered the system.

Suddenly, various information about Mo Qinghe appeared in front of him.

Moqing River

Stamina 76

Gambit 54

Yongwu 58

Prestige 61

Growth 23

The various attribute values of this Moqing River can barely keep a corner of Huizhou when the wind is calm, and you can enjoy peace and not cause trouble.

Chen Xi looked at Mo Qinghe's interpersonal network again, it was also very simple and ordinary, and there was nothing remarkable.

"It seems that I can take this Huizhou myself." Chen Xi solicited the system's opinion.

"Well, yes, this Huizhou can indeed be used for you to practice." The system agreed.

Chen Xi issued a series of instructions against Huizhou on the same day.

First of all, all the cotton from Lingzhou was transported to Yuzhou, and the small textile workshop in Huizhou went bankrupt because they could not buy raw materials.

Immediately after the second step, the textile workshops in Yuzhou were sent to Huizhou to recruit people, and the recruits were all high-quality skilled workers from small factories that had gone bankrupt before.

Then these workers in Huizhou were given very high wages and let them return to their hometowns.

The wave of bankruptcies of textile and dyeing workshops in Huizhou did not stop, because the cotton from Lingzhou could not be bought, and it spread from small workshops to medium workshops.

And every time a workshop goes bankrupt, there will be people from Yuzhou to recruit high-quality talents.

The industrious and energetic people who can work in Yuzhou are paid twice as much as before, and the bankrupt workers who are lazy, stupid and lazy, and only complain and complain are on the streets of Huizhou.

Chen Xi's actions did not end here, but approached the source even more, Chen Xi knew that instead of raising the soup to stop boiling, it was much more enjoyable to draw money from the bottom of the kettle.

Yuzhou announced that all textile workshops and dyeing workshops within the boundaries of Yuzhou will be exempt from tax for three years!

As soon as this news came out, the whole country was shocked.

Everyone knows that most of Yushu's financial income depends on the income of the workshop owner, and it is tax-free for three years at once, which can be described as a big sum of money.

As for Yushu, it doesn't matter that it has a surplus of its own finances and the support of the central government, so even if it can't get income from the workshop owner, someone will coordinate assistance from other states and counties for him.

For Huizhou, it is tantamount to a catastrophe.

Like Yushu, most of Huizhou's fiscal revenue depends on the financial revenue of the workshop owners.

Although they couldn't buy raw materials before, the owners of various workshops were still struggling to support it, and they would not let their foundation go bankrupt and clear it until they had to.

However, as soon as Yuzhou's tax-free policy came out, the people were no longer worried about the workers of the workshops, but directly at the workshop owners.

Everyone will think that instead of struggling here to support and survive this cold winter that may not end when, it is better to take the initiative to go bankrupt, minimize the losses, and then clean up again and go to Yuzhou to start a new business.

As a result, Huizhou, which originally only had one workshop going bankrupt every three or five times, suddenly became a situation where seven or eight workshops went bankrupt within a year.

When a large number of workshops go bankrupt, a large number of workers are thrown into the market, and these people are screened according to the original method.

The people who could do things left Huizhou and came to Yuzhou, and the lazy people were left in Huizhou, and they no longer looked for new jobs, and there was no place to take them in, which became a factor of instability.

After several months of this series of measures, the territory of Huizhou has become a den of thieves, and the law and order situation has seriously deteriorated, and all the people dare not go out at night.

Mo Qinghe had no choice but to send officers and soldiers to patrol the territory of Huizhou to maintain law and order.

Chen Xi sent lobbyists from the Military Intelligence Department to Huizhou, and Liu Cong, the general in charge of the military affairs of Huizhou, raised troops to capture Mo Qinghe and became the lord of Huizhou.

Liu Cong thought about it again and again, but did not listen.

Chen Xi's lobbyist was not only a lobbyist, but seeing that Liu Cong was unwilling, he forged his handwriting and wrote a letter, pretending to be found by Mo Qinghe's attendants.

When Mo Qinghe got the letter, he was shocked, it was written that Liu Cong was going to raise troops to overthrow Mo Qinghe and let the subordinates on duty in the Taishou Mansion do the internal response.

Mo Qinghe immediately sent someone to arrest Liu Cong's subordinates, and as soon as he arrested someone on his side, Chen Xi's lobbyist immediately went to Liu Cong's military camp again.

"General Liu, last time I persuaded the general to take Moqinghe and be the lord of Huizhou, the general was unwilling. It's just that today I'm afraid the general has no choice, unless the general wants to be like your subordinates and become a prisoner of Mo Qinghe. ”

"Nonsense! I didn't rebel, why did Mo Taishou arrest me, and when did my subordinates become prisoners? He is obviously on duty today to guard the Taishou Mansion. ”

The lobbyist explained to Liu Cong in the future, although Liu Cong already knew the truth at this moment, but it was useless, with his understanding of Mo Qinghe, he knew that even if he had a mouth all over his body, he would be speechless.

"Alas, whatever, this Moqinghe is already mediocre, otherwise the people in Huizhou City would not be as miserable as they are now."

Thinking of this, Liu Cong ordered the soldiers and horses of his headquarters and went straight to the Taishou Mansion.

Although Mo Qinghe had already taken precautions, he had no chess pieces in his hands that could be mobilized.

Just relying on the little armor soldiers who defended the Taishou Mansion was not enough to stuff Liu Cong's soldiers and horses.

As soon as Mo Qinghe was captured, Chen Xi immediately sent Wang Meng, a general loyal to him, to Huizhou to coordinate with Liu Cong.

Although Liu Cong was the chief general of Huizhou, his power was far from the point of daring to openly disobey the emperor's orders.

After grasping the military power of Huizhou, Chen Xi immediately used a thunderbolt operation to screen officials at all levels in Huizhou.

Anyone who obeys the emperor's orders will continue to be retained, and anyone who dares to resist or disobey will be taken on the spot.

In this way, in less than half a year, the military and political power of Huizhou has also fallen into the hands of Chen Xi.

"What's next for us?" Chen Xi couldn't be happy, and hurriedly came to consult the system.

"Before we think about the next step, let's take a look at the territory that we have already acquired." After the system finished speaking, he presented his current sphere of influence in front of Chen Xi.

Prefectures and counties directly under the control: Jingshi Wangcheng, Lingzhou, Yuzhou, Huizhou

Population: 2.5 million, 2 million, 2 million, 1.8 million, 8.3 million in total

Revenue: 40 million taels of silver

"Hey, I didn't expect so much." Chen Xi couldn't help but be a little surprised, for a long time, he had been busy with how to recover these states and counties, and the specific situation of these states and counties had not been summarized and calculated as now.

"Yes, our speed is not unfast, it took us such a short time to obtain three important states and counties, and these three states and counties are not only very high in population, troops, and financial revenue, but also have many important resources and industries.

With these three states and counties, we can serve as a base for us, and we can also provide a strong support for the next big move. ”

"Okay," Chen Xi listened to the system's words, and the ambition in his heart was suddenly stimulated, "Just say, what are we going to do next?" ”

The "marriage" system said two words without hurry.

"Huh? Getting married again? Chen Xi said to himself, "Strange, why should I say another word." ”
