In just two days, Zheng Xunrui knew everything that happened in Huai'an.

Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong, Ma Zhukui, Zhao Danyu, Luo Changluo, Liang Xingli and Li Yan came to Zheng Xunrui's mansion, entered the study, and found Zheng Xunrui with a comfortable smile on his face.

Xu Wanghua also showed a smile on his face, it should be said that he has been paying close attention to anything that happens in Nanzhili, Nanjing has always been relatively stable, Wang Duo, the head of the household, is very stable, there is no sign of provoking trouble, Gan Xuekuo of Huaibei has also become honest, there is no sign of chaos, this is not a good situation, after all, people do not act, it is not easy to find a breakthrough.

Almost all the methods that can be used have been used, Hongmen Qianzhuang is slowly encircling most of the scholars and businessmen in Nanzhili, Zheng Kaihua and Sun Jinru and others are busy with this, Hongmen is also slowly controlling the merchants in various places, waiting for Zheng Xunrui's order, and at the right time to start implementing the issuance of business licenses, Zheng Jiajun is based in Nanjing City, becoming an important force of concern to all parties.

But these things, the rhythm cannot be very fast, and they can only play an auxiliary role, Zheng Xunrui really needs to lead Nan Zhili from the government.

The situation in Nanzhili is not particularly optimistic, after Zheng Xunrui left Huai'an, the situation in Huaibei has been somewhat turbulent, from the Hongmen and Hongmen Qianzhuang reported matters, it can be seen that some scholars and businessmen began to intentionally or unintentionally confront Hongmen, Donglin Academy also sent people to Huai'an, Fengyang and Yangzhou and other places, actively carry out contact.

As for Nanjing, it has maintained stability on the surface, which means that Zheng Xunrui cannot fully control the situation, taking the Nanjing Sixth Department as an example, Zheng Xunrui completely controls the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, but the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households are not yet under full control. In particular, the Ministry of Households, which was in charge of the taxation of Nanzhili, did not put the silver in its inventory into the Hongmen Bank.

The long-term continuation of this situation is very unfavorable for Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun.

To do things, you need to take your time and lay a good foundation, but you need a thunderbolt even more.

Today's situation is an arrow that has to be fired. Even if Gan Xuekuo, Wang Duo and others are honest on the surface, Xu Wanghua has to find an opportunity to make a move, so that Zheng Xunrui can control Nan Zhili in the shortest possible time, after all, the attention of the emperor and the court is all focused on Liukou's side, and there is no time to take more care about Nan Zhili's affairs.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhang Pu and the others couldn't help it, and actually jumped out to do it, isn't this a godsend.

"My lord, Zhang Pu, Wu Changshi, Gong Dingyu and others are in trouble. The subordinates felt that this was the best opportunity. ”

"Mr. Xu, the matter of Nan Zhili has always been a concern for you and Li Yan and others, Zhang Pu and others have jumped up, and the opportunity has appeared, so you can tell me what methods should be used to deal with it."

Xu Wanghua looked at Li Yan and the others, and spoke unhurriedly.

"My subordinates feel prepared for two things, one is to make things bigger. Gan Xuekuo and the others couldn't clean it up, and finally had to leave in disgrace. The second is to severely attack Zhang Pu and others, so that they will never have a bright day, and take this opportunity to basically eradicate the power of the Donglin Party in Nanzhili. The subordinates hoped that Zhang Pu and the others would do irrational actions in anger. ”

Zheng Xunrui nodded.

"This plan is good, is there a plan for how to do it?"

"The subordinates are currently thinking of dealing with the situation in Huaibei, mainly doing three things. The first thing is to make Caoyun completely paralyzed, the imperial court needs three million stone of grain, and the subordinates let them not get a grain of grain, the second thing is to make Huai'an, Fengyang and Yangzhou and other places chaotic, the officials have no intention of doing things, scholars and businessmen have complaints about the government, and even make trouble, and the third thing is that the guards and soldiers cannot be stable, and even gather people to make trouble. ”

Zheng Xunrui looked at Xu Wanghua and spoke with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, your method is ruthless enough, if the emperor and the court know, wouldn't they blame you for being rebellious and wanting to rebel, beware of your life."

Zheng Xunrui rarely jokes, but joking means being in a good mood.

Xu Wanghua's plan was affirmed by Zheng Xunrui, and he was in a good mood.

"The subordinates follow the adults, they are not afraid of anything, and it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree."

After Xu Wanghua said this, everyone laughed.

Zheng Xunrui quickly became serious, after so many years, he basically changed history, but the real change in history is not the current situation, it can only be said that he is making great strides on the road of changing history, one challenge after another and games are waiting, he needs to overcome them one by one.

While paying attention to the affairs of Liukou and the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Xunrui did not forget to recall the historical events, in his memory, Chongzhen thirteen years will have another major famine, this famine will not only affect the north, but also affect the south, the north is a large-scale drought, and the south is a large-scale flood.

In Gyeonggi, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places in the north, because of the famine, the people dug grass roots and stripped the bark of trees, and even the situation of cannibalism between father and son, and the locust plague in Shandong caused thousands of miles of uninhabited people.

In the south, the floods in Suzhou, Songjiang and Huzhou and other places, because of the heavy rain, the embankment collapsed, countless houses were submerged, and countless houses collapsed, the flood caused the price of rice to skyrocket, the price of a bucket of rice reached four dollars of silver, ordinary people could not afford it at all, and there was no way to live.

In such a situation, the government at all levels not only did not try to provide relief to the victims, but instead intensified their exploitation, resulting in more and more people joining the ranks of the gangsters.

In fact, in the first month of the year, the disaster in the north began to manifest itself, Henan, Shanxi, Gyeonggi, Shandong and even Huguang and other places, there were displaced people of different scales, because of the growth of the scale of the rogues, many of the refugees were treated as rogues by the local government, and they were mercilessly killed.

As for the floods in the south, they should have erupted in the summer.

According to Zheng Xunrui's character, he should try his best to help the people, but after so many years, Zheng Xunrui found that his heart was slowly becoming harder, he didn't think of helping the victims in the north, but thought of using such a moment to strengthen his own strength and fight the imperial court.

This is not to say that Zheng Xunrui has become cold-blooded, he is completely from the overall situation, there are countless disasters and famines during the Chongzhen years, with personal strength, there is no relief at all, the best way is to grasp the power, implement the people-oriented thinking, fundamentally change the attitude of the government at all levels, let the government put the people's food and clothing first, this can fundamentally solve the problem.

"Mr. Xu's method is good, but when it comes to implementation, it needs to be carefully considered, and I have two suggestions."

"First, let Ma Shiying, Su Jiancheng, Wu Weiye, Gu Menglin and Chen Zilong and others resign, didn't Gan Xuekuo want to let them resign, then this time he fulfilled his wish, and he needed to tell Ma Shiying and others that this resignation means that nothing will be done, and Hongmen will stop giving Huai'an Mansion and Shanyin County silver subsidies at the same time, and let Zhang Pu and others take care of it."

"Second, Hong Mingcheng is required to strengthen the strength of Hongmen, focus on all parts of Huaibei, changes in the situation in a short period of time, there must be some scholars and businessmen half-heartedly, tell Hong Mingcheng, for those scholars and businessmen who are rising, first admonish, if there are still people who do not listen to the greeting, then mercilessly attack, if necessary, let Zheng Jiajun secretly take action, Jinhong, you tell Hong Xingui, this time to assist Hongmen to control the situation in Huaibei."

Zheng Xunrui's suggestion was tantamount to a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, which put Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Caoyun, into a desperate situation.

Cao boat for the control of Hongmen, without Zheng Xunrui's order, the boat will basically not move, the matter of levying grain, relying on the Huaibei government at all levels, although Zhang Cai and Yang Yi respectively served as the prefect of Fengyang Prefecture and the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture, but the officials in these two places, because of the sharp decline in income, have long been not fond of doing things, which will inevitably affect the collection of grain.

Although Gan Xuekuo served as the governor of Caoyun for nearly half a year, he couldn't shake the Hongmen at all, and there was the support of the Zheng Jiajun stationed in Huai'an behind the Hongmen, and Gan Xuekuo must know this.

Gan Xuekuo can't move the government at all levels, the relationship between the government at all levels and Hongmen is close, it is already coexistence and common prosperity, even Fengyang Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion are no exception, the officials are still closely connected with Hongmen, Gan Xuekuo can't move Hongmen, and he can't move the government at all levels.

Zhang Pu and others didn't understand these situations at all, so they rashly started it, isn't this looking for death.

The crowd dispersed, and Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong and Li Yan stayed.

"Mr. Xu, Jin Hong, Li Yan, once we move, we must ensure absolute victory, the Investigation Department has also analyzed Zhang Pu, Yang Yi, Zhang Cai, Gong Dingyu and Wu Changshi, these five people are not monolithic, Wu Changshi in this is different from the other four, Wu Changshi is deep and insidious, doing things more about their own interests, and more pragmatic, can be used by us, Zhang Pu has written to the imperial court to play a fold, thinking about making a big move, Then we can't just work hard from Huaibei or even Nanzhili, we also have to pay attention to the situation in the capital. ”

"I have already written a letter to Lord Zhou Yanru, I believe that after Lord Zhou saw the letter, he knew what to do, to deal with the current situation, we should not blindly adopt a situation of suppression, and fighting and pulling is what we should do, every time the emperor deals with matters, he adopts such methods, and we must also adopt them, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort."

"This game is in charge of Mr. Xu, you need to use any force, Mr. Xu can make a decision directly, Li Yan, you follow Mr. Xu's side, you have to learn more, and you have to put forward practical suggestions and opinions." (To be continued......)
