Chapter 930: Cold Noodles

"My lord, Mr. Qian sent a post and invited you for a while. "As soon as Hong Chengchou arrived in Jiangnan, the officials and gentry who came to pull relations and visit came up like a swarm, and the status of the people who came forward became higher and higher, and now he couldn't even resist the old qualifications like Qian Qianyi, but he was a little reserved, and he didn't take the initiative to ask for a meeting, but invited Hong Chengchou to meet in another place.www.biquge.info

"If you don't go, just say that the official is busy with official business, and I will go to visit Mr. Qian when I am free." Whether it is Zhongjinshi's time, officialdom qualifications or literary status, Hong Chengchou is far inferior to Qian Qianyi, if it is put to compare him, he will definitely not let go of this good opportunity to expand his network, but now that he has a heavy responsibility, it will be up to him to see if he can become the first assistant in the future, compared with the two, the little help that Qian Qianyi can provide him is nothing at all.

Moreover, the evidence and criminals sent by Chen Guangfu had just been taken into the back hall, and Qian Qianyi had now made a mistake that His Majesty was extremely unhappy with in this matter, so Hong Chengchou would not go to see him; The most important thing is that the purpose of Hong Chengchou's trip is to these Jiangnan gentry, and Qian Qianyi, as the best among the Jiangnan gentry, will definitely be the target of his attack, and now going to see him is just to add to the trouble; So the subordinates replied.

After Qian Qianyi got the news, his brows suddenly furrowed, first his own merchant ship was detained, and now Hong Chengchou has made such a gesture of rejecting him thousands of miles away, it seems that there is going to be a big storm in Jiangnan; However, although Qian Qianyi wrote a good article, he was not good at strategy, and he couldn't come up with any good ways for a while, so he could only invite other gentry to discuss together, and all this also fell in the eyes of those who had a heart.

"My lord, this Jiangnan affair is complicated, do you plan to start with that matter first?" Keeping these harassments out, Hong Chengchou discussed the work plan with his staff and officials from various ministries of the imperial court.

"Since this time the official is going south on the grounds of quelling the turmoil in Jiangnan, then it should start by dealing with the turmoil." Hong Chengchou said confidently, "Although on the surface it seems that the turmoil in Jiangnan was set off by those weavers, if you dig deeper, those gentry in Rufei treated the people too harshly, causing the weavers to have no way to live, how could they make such a big mess?" If we don't solve this problem, but just deal with those weavers, I'm afraid it won't solve the problem. ”

Hong Chengchou first set a tone at this time, and threw the cause of the turmoil in Jiangnan on the heads of those gentry, "When Your Majesty pacified the rebellious people in Shaanxi, he told Lord Yang, Zai Xia and many other officials that if the people can't survive, even if they risk their lives, they must find a way to fill their stomachs, since these gentry don't give the weavers a way to live, then don't blame them for making trouble!" However, those gentry did not expect that the people also wanted to eat, but instead made the sentence 'Unwilling to starve in peace, but to be a praying mantis', these people really read the book of sages in vain. ”

"Not only the weaving workshop, but also the gentry in Jiangnan oppressed the people in other places, and if the output of the land in Jiangnan was much better than that in the northwest, I am afraid that there would have been smoke everywhere here." Someone immediately chimed in, they had already figured out their purpose before leaving Beijing, and they didn't have much to do with the Jiangnan gentry, so no one spoke to them.

"Therefore, in order to completely quell the turmoil in Jiangnan, we must first rectify the rule of officials, and secondly, we must check the acres of land and ......" Seeing that the army's heart was available, Hong Chengchou immediately came up with his own plan and pointed the spearhead at the gentry and officials in Jiangnan.

This change was completely unexpected by the Jiangnan gentry, who thought that the imperial court's envoys were supporting them as before, but now they actually dealt with them? This caught many people off guard, coupled with Hong Chengchou's refusal to see the guests before, these people finally came to their senses, Your Majesty is planning to take the Jiangnan gentry.

After dealing with a few small gentry who had gone too far and had an unstable foundation, the rest of the men and horses finally reacted, of course they would not be arrested, and resorted to the old methods, squeezing the merchants and scholars to make trouble, but they hid behind, and the impeachment of the song flew towards the capital like snowflakes, and only when Hong Chengchou's side was slightly mishandled, he was pulled off the horse; Some people have even begun to think about publishing a new "Tombstone of Five" in order to make a name for themselves.

However, Hong Chengchou's means of disposal are much more decisive than those wastes before, and the strength he holds in his hands is far from being comparable to those wastes, with the trust of His Majesty, Cao Wenzhao and Chen Guangfu to help by land and water, and the Jinyiwei and Dongchang below have also been busy.

The reason why these scholars dare to make trouble is that they rely on their identity as scholars, and ordinary court officials dare not deal with it? After receiving such a blow to the head, they suddenly collapsed, and then thought of what would happen to them without this identity, these people didn't dare to blame Hong Chengchou, so they transferred their hatred to the masterminds behind them, and confessed to them without hesitation.

And those small merchants and ordinary people, either deceived by the gentry, the loss of their own workshop to the head of the court, or received the gentry's silver, for these people, the officials of the household department directly showed the recent changes in the textile workshop in Jiangnan, and the three law divisions came forward to state their guilt for attacking the Qincha Yamen, the small merchants and the people also succumbed, and another group of gentry were involved in this matter, providing a lot of evidence for Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou's thousand soldiers and horses finally had a place to use, and under the guidance of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, they quickly surrounded the mansions of these gentry and wiped them out. The fate of these people is known regardless of whether they can save their lives and go to Liaodong and Liuqiu to open up wasteland.

In the past, they relied on their identity and financial resources to do whatever they wanted in Jiangnan, thinking that no one could deal with them, but now when they met the real ones, they found that the wealth of the past was just a fortress on the sand dunes, and they couldn't withstand the wind and rain at all.

As a result, some people had to give in to Hong Chengchou, gritted their teeth and endured the pain and began to cooperate with Hong Chengchou's work, while others still refused to admit defeat and colluded together to try to fight back against Hong Chengchou with more violent means.
