Obviously, the left waiter of the juvenile criminal department, who is known for his toughness, in the face of the powerful land south of the Yangtze River, actually used such methods to relieve his pressure.

Its majesty is majestic, its body is like a mountain, the abyss is stagnant, and its momentum is extraordinary, and all the ministers dare not speak.

At this moment, even Zhu Jianshen, the Son of Heaven who was sitting on the top dragon chair, subconsciously swallowed his spit, not daring to raise objections, for fear of causing a strong backlash from Feng Zhou, and no one present, including the entire capital, could afford serious consequences.

"Since Your Majesty and you have no objections, then the matter is decided, the first wave of 'inspectors' will all be sent to Suzhou, and the second wave will be sent to Linzhou, where the officials and gentry should be beaten up!"

The sound of sealing the boat sounded in the hall, and the thunder exploded in the center of the ears of the emperor and the ministers, which shocked them for a while, and there seemed to be a tragic scene of blood flowing into rivers and people's heads rolling in front of them......

In fact, most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty came from the south of the Yangtze River, after all, where the literary style is more able to cultivate talents, even after hundreds of years, there are many talents.

It stands to reason that Feng Zhou's proposal to set up a wide range of supervisors is suitable for the gentry in Jiangnan, that is, against the scholars in Jiangnan, and at the same time against the officials of Jiangnan origin in the imperial court.

But in the past four years, Feng Zhou has made great contributions in Henan and the invincible divine power in the capital, so that they can't even have opposing opinions.

What's more, if you really oppose it, it is also suitable for the context of the world.

Although there are many officials from Jiangnan, how can they be more than the officials in the world?

When Liu Jian came to the capital by boat, he heard the news that the Criminal Department had set up a "supervisor", he just paused slightly, and then heard Li Dongyang, who arrived in Beijing together, smile and said: "Everyone in the world has been deceived, Feng Ziheng sent officials to Jiangnan is fake, and it is true to set up officials in the capital. ”

Liu Jian was slightly stunned, and then nodded to show that he understood.

Compared with Li Dongyang, he Liu Jian is more decisive, but in terms of resourcefulness, he is slightly lacking.

But it's just a difference between 98 points and 100 points.

He sighed and said: "We are all determined to assist the king, but the world is in trouble, but unfortunately you and I are still dormant, and Brother Ziheng has been flying for nine days, using the world as a chess piece." ”

After a pause, Li Dongyang said: "Before I came, I heard that he had written to his sworn brother Li Chishui and made a detour to return to the capital, but I am afraid it is also for safety." ”

When he came out of the capital to be an official, he also had many talks with Feng Zhou with Liu Jian, and they were very familiar with each other.

"So exaggerated?" Liu Jian was taken aback at first, and then shook his head and vetoed: "Don't say anything else, Feng Zhou is a dignified servant from the Criminal Department of the Third Grade, and a loyal and brave man of the super grade, the gentry in Jiangnan won't just do it for a few inspectors, right?"

He is a native of Luoyang, although he knows the ruthlessness of the gentry, but after all, it is difficult to imagine the power of the big businessmen in Jiangnan.

After all, his time as an official in Jinling was too short.

"If you're not afraid of 10,000, just in case!"

Li Dongyang sighed and said: "Those big salt merchants in Yangzhou are not only rich, but also too bold, do you know the private salt in Jiangnan?"

Since the Han Wu Emperor salt and iron monopoly, smuggling salt has become a big profiteering, mostly operated by brave people, among which Huang Chao, the first talent of the Tang Dynasty, has been engaged in this promising profession.

In the Ming Dynasty, due to the rise of Yangzhou salt merchants, the north and south of the river, the Jianghuai area, and Luyu and other places, most of the salt farms of the two Huai supply salt, so there is room for large salt merchants to make huge profits.

"Those salt lords who sell illegal salt are basically the subordinates of those big salt merchants, and they are even more daring than Brother Xixian imagined!"

Li Dongyang smiled bitterly.

"Those big salt merchants have the forces of the rivers and lakes as thugs in private, and behind them are the princes, princes, and elders in the capital as backers, and even the six departments of Jinling and the Duke of Wei have to consider the consequences if they want to move! Maybe the Duke of Wei is the biggest force. ”

Liu Jian sighed and said, "It seems that Feng Ziheng has seen through the truth and made it clear that he is using these people as chess pieces to cultivate his power in the capital. ”

"It's not just the capital, I expect him to lay out in a few big cities in the north, but he deliberately led to a disturbance in the south of the Yangtze River, and when people come to their senses, his layout in the capital and the local area has been deeply rooted!" Li Dongyang shook his head.

"In other words, the new officials of the Criminal Department who were sent to Jiangnan are all outcasts?" Liu Jian muttered.

"Not really, if someone is polite, courteous and has the means, and can compete with those local snakes, presumably Feng Ziheng will also be promoted!" Li Dongyang sighed.

Liu Jian listened, nodded again and again, and then quickly made a decision, and said: "It seems that after we enter Beijing, in addition to calming down in Zhan Shifu, we also have to communicate with Fengzhou more, I think in the next twenty or thirty years, the Ming Dynasty will definitely have great changes that have not been seen in two thousand years!"

Li Dongyang's heart sank, and he couldn't help nodding.

He is very wise and thoughtful, but when it comes to decisiveness, he is quite far from this friend.

To put it simply, he lifted as lightly, but this friend Liu Xixian went, but he lifted as lightly.

The two were talking, and suddenly someone on the dock strode over, and when he saw them, he bowed down and saluted: "The little steward of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion is Feng Ping, and he will meet Lord Liu and Lord Li." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the sealed butler. Liu Jian often went to Feng Mansion because he was more familiar with Feng Ping, and when he saw him coming, he asked, "What did Feng Shilang send you to do?"

"Back to the two adults, my lord sent the younger one over to invite the two of them to Xiangyun Juju for a gathering. ”

"Oh. Liu Jian and Li Dongyang glanced at each other, and the two nodded together.

"Since Brother Feng invites me, it is better to be respectful, wait for a while, wait for the two of us to arrange the family, and then arrive. ”

......

Xiangyun Juju is the Xiangyun teahouse he opened at the beginning, since the control of the boat, it will be in accordance with their own plans step by step, after so many years of expansion has become a comprehensive theater in the capital integrating leisure and entertainment and eating and drinking, it is no longer a simple teahouse can be summarized.

Several shops around have all been bought and expanded, forming a huge façade that is half a mile long, with six doors open to the outside world, and a variety of different leisure places divided by regions, including traditional entertainment methods such as opera, storytelling, cross talk, etc., because the scripts are adapted from reality, and there is no shortage of officialdom struggles, so they are deeply loved by the old and young masters in the capital.

This auspicious cloud residence is actually a reference to the fragrant snow sea founded by his wife Tanchun in the world of Red Mansions.

Xiangyun Juju is the vane of the Beijing entertainment industry at this time, and the opera commentaries and jokes they produce will not take long to spread throughout the entire Beijing entertainment circle, and become the object of imitation, quickly spreading to the north and even the south.

Whether it is the Zhongjun Opera Troupe or the later established Deyun Club and Qingqu Society, they are all world-renowned drama classes, and the famous actors in them can be called top stars, especially some of them, who have the style of Peking Opera performance artists in later generations.

The amount of money that Xiangyunju earns every year is an astonishing number, reaching millions of taels, which is simply an out-and-out cornucopia.

In the past few years, it is not that there are no palaces, national mansions, even royal relatives, or nephews of factory fathers who want to come and get involved, but their claws were broken as soon as they stretched out, and they only then knew that Xiangyunju was the business of sealing boats, and although they were very unwilling in their hearts, they did not dare to mess around.

Other officials may also want to talk about the officialdom cards, but Feng Zhou directly dares to beat people.

Feng Zhou is not a solitary eater, but Xiangyunju has a great effect on him, so naturally he will not take out a share of it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

He told those guys directly, Xiangyunju is popular, but it is a formal place, and some other places such as eating, drinking and having fun are insufficient, if you want to get a piece of the pie, then go down to the surrounding stores and play.

But there is one thing that must be guaranteed, no matter who it is, how arrogant it is outside, in Xiangyunju, you must pick up your tail one by one and be a person, and enjoy the joy inside. But if there is troublemaker, he will definitely make him worse than a beggar.

You must know that the name of the capital is Huazi, which is nominally under the management of Li Yanbei and Du Tongxuan, but in fact it has long been controlled by him.

So in Xiangyunju, Fengzhou is the uncrowned king!
