In the face of interests, there are not many people who can always stay sober, if the interests are huge enough, perhaps even the most sober people will inevitably make mistakes and take risks.

Therefore, in the face of tens of millions of massive profits every year, these gentry and family owners in the Jiangnan area finally couldn't hold back and wanted to make trouble again.

Standing on their standpoint, they also have to make trouble. The imperial court is getting richer and richer, but the gentry families are constantly being cut and sucked by blood, and the influence of power is getting weaker and weaker, far less than in the previous dynasty. If this situation is left unchecked, in a few years, most of their children and grandchildren will be reduced to fish on the chopping board, just like the mud legs of the common people, to be slaughtered by the imperial court.

So, as incredible as it may seem, the big tandem happened as expected.

"Did they float? Or am I a dignified Chu national teacher who can't lift a knife? ”

This was Qin Feng's first reaction after learning that more than seventy percent of the officials, Shilin Hongru, and the heads of wealthy families in Jiangnan jointly wrote to the imperial court.

Maybe it's because I often retreat and cultivate, and I haven't come out to brush up my sense of existence in the past two years, so that many people have forgotten the famous reputation of the national teacher. Or they have the mentality of "the law does not blame the public", thinking that no matter how strong the emperor and himself are, it is impossible to clean up all the officials at once, which will cause a big mess in the Jiangnan area.

He looked at Cao Yun, the left capital in front of him, and said lightly: "What else do they do?" Let's talk about it together. ”

"Their guts...... It's huge, indeed! ”

Cao Yun looked at his face and said cautiously: "Forcing the palace is only the first step, if the imperial court gives in, it's fine, if it is clearly refused, they will collude and instigate the county chiefs in the Jiangnan region, as well as the garrison generals to pull the flag and rebel together, so that Jiangnan and the north of the imperial court will be split and ruled by dividing the river." ”

Qin Feng's eyes turned cold, and he said faintly: "Dare to tear the soil and stand on your own?" How many chips do they have? ”

It has not been a few years since the unification of the world, the people are at peace, and the imperial court has implemented the national policy of recuperation and recuperation, and the taxes and levies of the common people are very light. With no worries about survival, it is unlikely that there are still many people willing to do this kind of head-killing business. This is completely different from the chaotic times when natural disasters have been occurring for many years and the people are struggling to make a living.

Cao Yun said: "According to the information collected from different channels, the influence of these guys in the officialdom is not much to mention, and most of the officials are inclined to sympathize with them. The key is the local garrison, which is bribed and controlled by them by various means, and there are more than 20 commanders, and the number of generals at the lower level is even higher. ”

"If there is really an incident, it is estimated that there are about 100,000 troops that they can rebel against, and in addition, those deep-rooted families, which family does not have hundreds or thousands of slave tenants? All of them are mobilized, and with armor, it is estimated that 100,000 people can be gathered. ”

Qin Feng laughed and said, "200,000 people? Even if all of them are elite divisions, can they change the world? ”

Yun Qijun next to him said: "They also sent people to contact all the Daomen, and offered a lot of prices, wanting to pull these Daomen into the water to do things with them." I've received a lot of gifts here, and of course the giver has been slaughtered by my order. ”

After all, the head of the family had not completely forgotten the prestige of the national teacher, and knew that only the power of the cultivation world could compete with it, so he hit the head of Yun Qijun, the head of the general alliance of the world's Daomen, and sent a man who could speak well to the door with heavy gifts, hoping to persuade the Daomen to support their claim.

It's a pity that they never thought of the true relationship between Qin Feng and Yun Qijun, this kind of move is tantamount to hitting the knife edge.

Qin Feng nodded, and asked again, "What did Your Majesty say over there?" ”

Cao Yun said: "The emperor has secretly ordered the Jiangnan garrison to be under martial law, and then transferred 200,000 elites from the Beijing camp to the south on the warships of the naval fleet to prepare for the unexpected. And I hope that the lord's private army will also be able to cooperate with the action. ”

In addition, the Cabinet and the Ministry of Officials have begun to select alternate officials and let them take up their posts as soon as the situation in the Jiangnan area calms down. Of course, due to the large number of people, it is estimated that it will take a few more days to complete. ”

Taking out more than 2,000 officials at once is enough to make the official yamen of the counties in the south of the Yangtze River in a state of near paralysis, not to mention the newly established Chu Dynasty, that is, the previous dynasties, such things are unheard of.

Of course, there were similar incidents of forcing the palace in the previous dynasties, and in the end, it was basically the emperor who compromised and made concessions and pacified the locality. Therefore, the current heads of the family have the confidence and confidence, and feel that if the Chu Emperor Zhao Yuanjin does not want the entire Jiangnan region to be eroded and smoked, then he can only follow the practice of the previous dynasty and make concessions.

The crux of the matter is that Zhao Yuanjin is not an ordinary emperor who took over the jade seal from his father, but the founder of the country who fought in blood and fire. Even if Qin Feng's factors are not considered, it is impossible to bow his head easily, otherwise such a bad precedent will be set, and future generations will not know what it will be like to be kicked in the face and bullied by these gentry.

Qin Feng bowed slightly, Zhao Yuanjin was not confused, but he saved himself a lot of effort, so he would take care of it. If you really encounter an unforeseen emergency, it's not too late for you to come forward.

The next development of the situation made the officials in the court shudder. The emperor did not have any intention of giving in at all, and announced the measure of purging the Jiangnan officialdom early the next morning, and the garrisons of each county then launched a list to arrest those officials one by one, and dragged them to the entrance of the vegetable market to read out the charges and behead them.

Immediately, the private army of the national teacher also dispatched, and all the families and scholars who were making trouble were taken down and executed, all the family property was confiscated, and the children of the family were sent into slavery. For a time, the heads were boiling, the blood flowed like a river, and the world was shaken.

However, Qin Feng will not feel anything about this, in the apocalyptic world, he has killed thousands of people, and even completely killed an alien intelligent race, what is this bit of blood?

Lao Tzu has killed more people than you have ever seen! Want to negotiate terms with me? Is your mother's desire to die?

After half a month's effort, the dust settled.

A large number of officials died in the imperial court, a large number of treasures were added to the treasury of the national teacher, and a group of beauties were also entered in the back house, all of which were selected by the Qincha from the relatives of those criminal officials and family heads.

Qin Feng doesn't have anything here, he doesn't accept it. More than 2,000 vacancies were vacated in the imperial court at once, and all of them had to be filled as soon as possible, but the cabinet and officials were busy.

However, there are as many people who want to be officials as leeks in the field, and there is still a stubble after cutting, as long as you look for it carefully, you can still find it. Half a month later, the appointed officials happily went to work.

The entire Jiangnan region is calm, as long as it takes a while, no one will remember those unlucky guys anymore, and the lives of the common people will only become more and more nourishing.

In addition to accompanying the daughters on a daily basis, Qin Feng, who is idle, uses the mirror country to cultivate suitable manpower in batches, and then sends them to mines around the world, otherwise he is placed in the chamber of commerce and fiefdoms to do things.

Various industrial robots and mining and smelting equipment ordered from the apocalyptic world are constantly being transported, so that the production capacity of mines around the world has gradually increased, especially rare earth deposits, which are one of the essential core raw materials for the production of new batteries, so they need to be reserved.

Most of the rare earth resources in the main world are produced in Huaguo, but because of too much mining in the past, the rare earth reserves in Huaguo are not particularly large now, and the price is rising year by year, so Qin Feng feels that it is more cost-effective to mine and refine from the Great Chu world, as long as it is transported back to the main world, it is more secretive.

After the fiftieth batch of talents in the Great Chu World completed their training, Qin Feng finished explaining and dealing with the matter at hand, and returned to the main world with another batch of resources.

Counting the time he has been away for a long time, he has been in the Doomsday World for more than two years, and he has been in the Great Chu World for more than half a year, but due to the difference in time flow, the main world has only passed for more than two months, and he is now speeding up with twenty times the time when he shuttles through the other world.

The company's headquarters on Hong Kong Island is still diligently busy in the office.

With his development in the other world, the demand for resources in the main world is increasing, so Qin Feng left two avatars here, a company on Hong Kong Island, which is responsible for the secret procurement and sales of resources. The other changed his appearance and identity, secretly presiding over the situation on the island of Madagascar.

During the time I left, everything was normal at home, it was not that there were no competitors from all walks of life to fight their own ideas, domestic and foreign, some forces were not small, and there were endless tricks in the open and secret, but they were all identified by the incarnation in time and took countermeasures, and those guys lost a lot, but they didn't get any benefits.

It's just that in Qin Feng's opinion, his countermeasures are still a little too soft, after all, it is human nature to remember to eat or not to fight, maybe in the future, I have to consider being more ruthless and decisive, and if they don't really feel the pain of the skin, I'm afraid they won't completely die.
