Nanjing's Nanzhi Street, an inconspicuous mansion, has no special decoration outside, the red background vermilion lacquer door looks very heavy, and there are people around the mansion from time to time.

This is the residence of Zheng Xunrui, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department.

A group of figures appeared around the mansion, and the leader looked around, a look of relief on his face.

The soldiers guarding the door saw the comer, hurriedly opened the side door, and saluted the comer.

This person is Xu Wanghua who rushed over from Huai'an.

After arranging the arrangement of Huai'an, Xu Wanghua rushed directly to Nanjing, judging from the actual situation these days, Huai'an is very stable, although Gan Xuekuo served as the governor of Caoyun, the governor of the four prefectures and three states of Huaibei, but there is nothing to be done about the ironclad situation in Huai'an, it should be said that this situation will continue for a while, and the next focus is in Nanjing.

Entering the mansion, a feeling of desolation, heavy and quiet imprinted in my heart.

The courtyard was very quiet, and Xu Wanghua followed the people in the house all the way to the study in the front yard.

"Mr. Xu, it's hard work, how is the situation in Huai'an."

"My lord, the situation in Huai'an is good, Lord Gan is still interesting, knowing that he is facing a lot of problems, he has calmed down, and his subordinates estimate that Huai'an's peace can last for at least three months to half a year."

Zheng Xunrui's face showed a smile and nodded slightly.

"Yes, three months to half a year is enough, as long as we turn the situation in Nanjing around within this time, we don't have to worry about the situation in Huai'an."

Zheng Xunrui is so confident for a reason, the scale of the Liukou in Sichuan, Huguang, Henan and other places has gradually grown, once they start to break out, the situation in the north will be out of control, and the imperial court will have to shift its focus to the Liukou at that time. Zheng Xunrui is in Nanzhili and other places, and he can quickly exert his strength.

"My lord, my subordinates think that the situation in Huai'an is temporarily stable, can it start operating in Nanjing?"

When Zheng Xunrui served as the governor of Caoyun, he could entrust Xu Wanghua with many specific matters. Although Xu Wanghua can go to the Ministry of War as a staff member, it is impossible to make a decision on behalf of Zheng Xunrui, after all, the situation in Nanjing is different, so Hongmen also helped Xu Wanghua find a house on Nanzhi Street, most of the time, Xu Wanghua is in Zheng Xunrui's mansion, or in his own house.

The calculating minds of the emperor and the cabinet. It was exposed, Zheng Xunrui had just arrived in Nanjing, and the first thing he did was very important, he had to operate well, and he had to succeed.

The meaning of Xu Wanghua's words, Zheng Xunrui also understood, and he shook his head slightly.

"Mr. Xu, don't worry. Now I am starting to make a big move in Nanjing, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of ideas in the capital. At this time, we will not move our troops and focus on three things, the first thing is that Zheng Jiajun must take root in Nanjing and completely stabilize it, the second thing is that Hongmen Qianzhuang must open up the situation in Nanjing and even Nanzhili, and the third thing is that the focus of Hongmen must be tilted to Hangzhou and Huai'an. As for Nanjing, it is just the location of the headquarters. ”

"My lord, if you want to do these things, the premise must not be less."

"Well, tell me what you're worried about."

"The subordinates are mainly worried that the adults will not be able to do it early. It is very likely that in the next time, he will be excluded, and the emperor does not want the adults to make a difference in Nanjing, so he has made a lot of arrangements in advance, and if the adults do not take the initiative to take measures at this time, they may lose the best opportunity. ”

Zheng Xunrui's control of Nanzhili is the symbol of unified taxation, Zheng Jiajun completely controls the Fuzhou County of Nanzhili, Nanjing's six departments, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Jinyiwei, and even the eunuchs in the palace, all of whom must obey the dispatch.

In particular, the adjustment of taxes can allow Zheng Xunrui to have enough money to do things, otherwise everything will be in vain.

All this was specially discussed when he was in Huai'an, and it was not Xu Wanghua who came up with it alone.

Zheng Xunrui's expression became serious.

"Mr. Xu, your concerns are justified, but after contacting Wang Duo and Fang Zhenghua and others, I suddenly thought of something, not that there will be any problems if we start acting now, we can really control the situation in Nanjing through a series of tough measures, but if we do this, it is very likely to trigger a direct confrontation with the imperial court and the emperor, from the current situation, it is not very wise to do so."

"I'm thinking about retreating."

Hearing Zheng Xunrui say this, Xu Wanghua's expression changed slightly, and he also spoke unceremoniously.

"My lord, my subordinates think this is inappropriate, the emperor and the court are looking at Nanjing all the time, no matter what strategy your lord takes, I'm afraid there will be no other changes in the situation in Nanjing, the sooner your lord takes measures, the more you can stabilize the situation in the south, including the situation in Huaibei."

A smile appeared on Zheng Xunrui's face.

"Sir, don't worry, my so-called retreat is not to take any measures, I just said, our three main things, Zheng Jiajun, Hongmen Qianzhuang and Hongmen, if you want to do these three things well, you don't necessarily need to work against Wang Duo and others, on the contrary, once we take measures in these three aspects, it will make Wang Duo and others jump up and find us trouble, and at that time we will do it unceremoniously, there will be unexpected results."

"Wang Duo, Fang Zhenghua and others are all understanding people, their eyes will be fixed on Zheng Jiajun, but their role in Hongmen Qianzhuang and Hongmen may not be clear, I think it will take a month or so at most, Hongmen Qianzhuang and Hongmen will be able to completely stabilize, and at that time, even if they wake up, everything will be late."

"There should be a lot of difficulties we may encounter in Nanjing, we must make a full estimate, do not act rashly, grasp the best opportunity, and let Wang Duo and Fang Zhenghua and others have no power to fight back."

"What they rely on is mainly two aspects, one is the emperor and the court, this situation, as Mr. said, no matter when, the emperor and the court will pay attention to the situation in Nanjing, no matter when we start, it will form a shock in the court, and the other is the Donglin Party, the Fushe and the Ying Society, we can not underestimate the strength of this aspect, maybe at this time, Wang Duo has mobilized the Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe of Nanzhili, riveting his strength, thinking of playing with us."

"During the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang lived in peace and five roads, which is a great reminder to us, no matter what the other party's plan is, and no matter what kind of action they are ready to take, we will work in one direction, as long as we do a good job, we will eventually be able to completely shake the opponent's ......"

Zheng Xunrui is still in the process of explaining in detail, and Xu Wanghua has understood everything.

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, he immediately clenched his fists and spoke.

"My lord, my subordinates didn't understand the meaning, and they were a little anxious."

"I can't say that you are anxious, in fact, I am more anxious, the matter has come to this, we are anxious to no avail, but in the expansion of Hongmen Qianzhuang and Hongmen affairs, we must spare no effort, no matter what kind of difficulties encountered, it is necessary to completely overcome, as long as Hongmen Qianzhuang really opens up the situation in Nanjing, we have the initiative."

Xu Wanghua nodded, he had already seen the huge role played by Hongmen Qianzhuang in Huaibei, and believed that once Hongmen Qianzhuang played a role in Nanjing, the shocking effect produced at that time would definitely be able to make Wang Duo and Fang Zhenghua and others stunned.

It was dark, and Zheng Kaihua entered the mansion.

After receiving Zheng Xunrui's notice, Zheng Kaihua quickly came.

"Kaihua, during this time, you are doing one thing, that is, let the merchants and scholars in Nanjing deposit the gold and silver in the Hongmen Bank, you have been doing business in Nanjing for so many years, and you have a good relationship and foundation, I believe that if you come forward to mobilize, there will be many people who will deposit their money into the Hongmen Bank."

Zheng Kaihua nodded without hesitation.

"I will do my best to do this well, but the ticket stub and ticket amount of this Hongmen Money Village, I don't know when I will be able to buy things in Nanjing."

"You don't have to worry, it will be soon, it only took less than two months for Hongmen Qianzhuang to circulate the ticket stubs and tickets in Huaibei."

Zheng Kaihua, who has been doing business for many years, understands the key to this step, the Ming Dynasty issued treasure banknotes many years ago, the ticket stub and amount of this Hongmen money bank, and the role of the treasure banknote is somewhat similar, but the difficulty in this is not small, you must know that the treasure money was forcibly pushed away by the imperial court, and finally failed, although Hongmen money village has the support of Zheng Xunrui, but whether it can be accepted by the people of Nanjing, it is still uncertain.

Of course, Zheng Kaihua will not doubt Zheng Xunrui's decision, no matter what Zheng Xunrui asks him to do, he will not hesitate to do it.

"Kaihua, asking the merchants and scholars in Nanjing to deposit gold and silver into Hongmen Qianzhuang, it is not so simple, you need to think a lot, and one more thing, you might as well tell you in advance, at most next year, I will start to collect trade taxes, in the name of Hongmen to collect, the amount of trade taxes is roughly one out of ten, this must be implemented, this matter needs your support, I'm afraid you have to take the lead."

Zheng Kaihua's face was slightly pale, how much money the family earns in a year, and how big the amount of business is, he knows, and he pays taxes according to the ratio of one out of ten, which is a lot.

Seeing Zheng Kaihua's face, Zheng Xunrui spoke again.

"Kaihua, money is something outside the body, and what we need to achieve is not measured by money."

Zheng Kaihua's body trembled slightly, and he quickly spoke.

"I understand, no matter what my brother commands, I will do it." (To be continued......)
