Wang Yangming and Yang Shen nodded, and had to admit that the southern part of the country is indeed much more prosperous than the northern literary style, especially in the heart of the south of the Yangtze River, and in the city of Nanjing, there are many literati and artists, which is absolutely impossible to see in Beijing.

A long river runs through it, which is the famous Qinhuai River in Nanjing.

Walking on the Qinhuai River, Chu Yi looked at both sides, and couldn't help but think of a sentence in his heart.

Ten miles of Qinhuai, half talented, half beautiful, a tribute courtyard, a fireworks.

A river separates both banks, one side is the Jiangnan Gongyuan Academy, the general examination room of the Jiangnan Examination, and one side is the place where the famous prostitutes of the southern teaching workshop gather, which can be described as a ten-mile bead curtain and six dynasties of gold powder.

Ancient streets and alleys, pavilions and painting boats, into the Qinhuai to know the beautiful scene of the south of the Yangtze River.

Suddenly, I saw several scholars walking by quickly, and only one of them could hear one of them: "Today, all the young brothers went to guard the Zhongguan Mansion to block the door, and seek justice for the Chen Yuan who died tragically in the Songyang bloody case. ”

"I heard that the garrison eunuch Fan Heng is the henchman of the eunuch Chu Yi, and he must look good today!"

"Yes, we don't know where the thief is, can't we still take care of one of his henchmen!"

The group clearly heard the passionate voices of the few scholars who hurried by, and watched their rapid stride, as if they were going to do something extremely sacred.

Yang Shen and Wang Yangming couldn't help but look at Chu Yi, Yang Shen had personally experienced such a big thing as the Songyang Bloody Case, and Wang Yangming had also heard about it along the way, so they all knew something about the Songyang Bloody Case.

Although they said that they had been mentally prepared for coming to Nanjing City, they did not expect that they would meet these scholars on the Qinhuai River.

What kind of person is Chu Yi, that is the overseer of the Dongchang Factory, who is in charge of the famous violent organization of Daming, and even dared to kill in Songyang Academy at the beginning.

Even if Fang Xiaoyu always gave people a kind of erudition and talent when he got along with them, as if he was a polite and polite Confucian, they didn't dare to underestimate this one at all.

Chu Yi's expression was calm, and when he noticed the appearance of the two, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Chu does things, just ask for a clear conscience, people in this world slander me and slander me, is it possible that I want to kill them one by one?" You don't think I'm such a narrow-minded person! ”

Hearing Chu Yi say this, Yang Shen and Wang Yangming breathed a sigh of relief slightly, to be honest, they were really worried that Chu Yi would kill those scholars.

After all, Chu Yi has a precedent, people are like this, as long as you have done something, when faced with the same thing, most people will think that you will make the same choice.

However, Chu Yi's voice changed, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth and said, "It just so happens that the Lord of this Governor is about to go to guard the Zhongguan's Mansion, is Mr. Yang Ming interested in accompanying him?" ”

Wang Yangming was slightly stunned, smiled bitterly in his heart, and said that he was open-minded, but in a blink of an eye, he rushed to the mansion of the garrison lieutenant.

However, Wang Yangming didn't think that Chu Yi was really a narrow-minded person, but felt that Chu Yi was his true temperament, besides, Chu Yi himself was going to see the garrison eunuch Fan Heng, which he already knew before entering the city.

I only hope that those scholars will be able to accumulate a little virtue and not make too much trouble, otherwise, this person will not be as easy to provoke as others.

A sneer flashed in Yang Shen's eyes, and he said in disgust: "A group of people who talk about misleading the country have no strategy for governing the country in their stomachs, but they are looking for flowers and asking willows, forming parties and running private businesses, and they are all experts, and Yang is ashamed to be with them!" ”

At the beginning of the Songyang bloody case, he just stood up and said something from his heart, and he was regarded by those so-called classmates as the scum of Shilin and the lackey of Chu Yi, and it was from that time that Yang Shen could be regarded as seeing through the true face of these people.

Chu Yi and his entourage went straight to the long street where the garrison Zhongguan's mansion was located.

Out of the Qinhuai River, enter a long street, this long street can be said to be the political center of Nanjing City, the six yamen, the garrison lieutenants and even the left-behind nobles all live in this block, a little less prosperous, a little more solemn.

Because this is the residence of the six yamen and many nobles, there are garrison officers and soldiers patrolling on weekdays, so this block is quite clean.

However, the once peaceful neighborhood was now full of noise, all kinds of foul language resounded in all directions, and even the officials on duty in the six yamen in the distance were alarmed, and ran out one by one to watch from afar, and many people even pointed and pointed, laughing and applauding, clearly watching the joke of the guarding eunuch Fan Heng.

"Brother Qin, it seems that this time our father-in-law Fan is afraid that he will be unlucky!"

A seven-rank official looked at the garrison mansion, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's natural, he is not the Lord of Chu, the Son of Heaven doesn't know who he is, once there is any chaos in the future, the board of the Heavenly Family will definitely hit him, the garrison eunuch." ”

Another official echoed when he heard this: "Who let him play Chu Yi's signboard on weekdays, everyone can't help Chu Yi, can't they clean him up Fan Heng?" ”

"Hmph, it's okay to make a fuss, so that the princes of Yunyun and the Son of Heaven in Beijing know what the hearts of the people in the world want, how can Chen Yushi die in vain!"

A well-informed official came up and whispered, "Ladies and gentlemen, I heard that the Lord of Chu has left Songshan and may be coming to our Nanjing City!" ”

The previous seven-grade official couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "So what, this is Nanjing City, even if Chu Yi is here, the dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger has to lie down, it is not us who can be the master of the house here!" ”

The official glanced meaningfully at a few of his colleagues, who couldn't help but be silent for a while. Maybe what this official said is a bit exaggerated, but it is not a fact, which part of the people in the hands of the land south of the Yangtze River is not clear, but don't they count it in their hearts?

The Li family of Songjiang, the Xu family of Huating, the Huang family of Shengze, the Ma family of Suzhou, and the Zhang family of Hangzhou are all entrenched in the land south of the Yangtze River, and the textile, mining, shipbuilding, porcelain, grain, tea and even salt industry are all controlled by these clans.

These big families are often worth millions of taels of silver, and they are completely the uncrowned kings entrenched in the south of the Ming River.

These big families controlled the economy, cultivated thousands of hectares of land, funded a large number of scholars, supported officials in the DPRK and China as their spokesmen, and gradually formed political factions such as the Chu Party, the Qi Party, the Zhejiang Party, and the Donglin Party in later generations.

The later Daming party struggle was not so much a partisan struggle as a conflict of interests of the big families behind these parties.

The rich Jiangnan has created a large number of wealthy merchants, and a large number of clans have emerged, making it difficult for the imperial court to issue local decrees in the land south of the Yangtze River.

Liu Jin is in power, although he is a little arrogant, but it does not mean that he has not done practical things.

Liu Jin sent many mine supervisors and tax envoys to the local government to collect taxes, and at the same time, Liu Jin also checked the two Huai salt taxes, and I don't know how many salt merchants and officials who relied on the salt tax to eat with fat brains suffered heavy losses.

In addition, Liu Jin sent people to sort out the land across the country, focusing on the land of the health center.

Not to mention the land, just the taxation and the inventory of the two Huai salt taxes made Liu Jin completely offend the gentry and officials of the entire Jiangnan and even the world.

In the entire Jiangnan, under the impetus of these forces that were touched by Liu Jin's interests and suffered heavy losses, countless readers criticized Liu Jin, in this case, Jiangnan mentioned Liu Jin in one place, and countless people were really eager to break his body into pieces.

Chu Yi didn't come to the land south of the Yangtze River just to come over and have a cruise, Liu Jin did these things that were beneficial to the country, even if it was him, according to his plans and plans, he was afraid that he would be much more radical than Liu Jin in the future.

With Liu Jin in front of him, Chu Yi wanted to see how powerful these forces controlling Jiangnan were, and at the same time to distinguish which forces were controlling the huge land of Jiangnan.
