Ningbo Mansion, Liu Daxia immediately came here to inspect after rectifying Hangzhou.

He had inspected several health centers these days, and the results shocked him, most of them were short and did not match the data on the books.

On the surface, there are still more than 40,000 soldiers in Zhejiang, but at the moment, I am afraid that even 30,000 people will not be able to get together.

Liu Daxia only felt a bitterness, he punished a few guard commanders, and he was afraid of falling into a situation where no one was available.

had to kill and appease at the same time, while thundering means and tenderness to appease people's hearts.

In order to make up for the shortfall, he had to order again to mobilize another 10,000 horses from Nanzhili and Jiangxi.

At present, the southern Zhili is the most heavily guarded, and although there are many soldiers in Jiangxi, they must ensure the safety of the Tongliangguang channel, so they definitely do not dare to make more adjustments.

He also wanted to recruit soldiers on the spot, but Daming was not a conscription system, and it was not possible to recruit soldiers without money. This made Liu Daxia feel powerless, he had already discovered the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty's military administration, but he could only say that he couldn't change it! When it comes time to use soldiers, it is even more constrained!

He decided that if this battle was over, he would write again and ask for a reform of the military system!

This military system has not changed, and I am afraid that it can repel the people once, but it will not be able to repel the second and third provocations of the people.

He inspected a circle in Ningbo and found that the garrison was also lax, but fortunately, the city wall was extremely strong and solid, and it really deserved to be the first strong city in eastern Zhejiang!

At the beginning, in order to prevent the remnants of Meng Yuan and Zhang Shicheng from attacking at sea, Ningbo City and Dinghai Zhongzuo were built very strongly.

After Liu Daxia looked at the tall city of Ningbo, he added a little confidence.

The prefect Lu Lezhi and the general judge Hu Kang followed him like quails, and the matter of them sending people to Shuangyu was already known to Liu Daxia.

The governor only asked what the island's people meant, and how the island was fortified.

This made the two of them feel like they were amnesty, and at this moment they were even more obedient to the governor's words, they didn't expect that the imperial court would be ruthless to the people and make a governor of three provinces to deal with it!

"Governor Lu, post a recruitment document for the old man, the old man wants to recruit a group of talents who know things, as long as they can contribute to the news of the people, they can also be rewarded. There are many businessmen in Ningbo, and they come and go to East Qin very closely, there will definitely be people in the know! ”

Lu Lezhi hurriedly said: "Xiaguan will do it immediately!"

"Well, there is also a roster for the old man, the maritime merchants in Ningbo, the old man wants to invite them to dinner!"

"The subordinate obeys!"

Saying that, Lu Lezhi went to do these two things in person, knowing that Liu Daxia was preparing to attack Shangjia.

After entering Ningbo City, Liu Daxia did not choose to live in the mansion, but chose a small house with only three entrances.

and hand over all the defense to the Governor's pacesetters who brought him, so that all the talents who want to come and offer advice and apply for jobs will come to him here, so that everyone can be summoned.

…………

On the second day, the large and small maritime merchants of Ningbo Prefecture were invited to this governor's compound.

These maritime merchants dare not give face to the prefect, but they dare not give face to the governor, after all, this person has the power of life and death, and has already cut down several guard commanders, and if they really want to crash into his hands, they will inevitably have to suffer a lot.

It's just the dishes on the table, but it makes these businessmen frown, it's really shabby! I'm afraid it's not as good as the way of ordinary people's banquets.

However, they were dissatisfied, but they couldn't show it on their faces, and most people had already guessed that Liu Daxia was here to ask for money.

"Everyone, thank you for your faces, the old man will make a toast first!" Liu Daxia smiled and drank a full glass.

The businessmen present also raised their glasses one after another, and drank a glass of inferior wine with difficulty.

Seeing this, Liu Daxia smiled and said, "I invite you to come with a little thin wine today, I think everyone already knows!" Now the people occupy Shuangyu, their wolf ambitions are clearly revealed, if my Zhejiang military and civilians let it go, I am afraid that after three or five years, the people will dare to take Ningbo directly! So the old man obeyed the emperor's will and became this governor! In order to expel the Tuoyi and return the place to peace! ”

"Lord Liu's heart to serve the country with his fists, we can see it for all to see! Although I have not seen the calamity of the people, I am willing to serve the country one or two. What does Lord Liu want, but it doesn't hurt to say it! Ningbo Haozu Yang Shousui spoke.

Liu Daxia's face changed, the Yang family is the biggest gentleman in the place, and he is so straightforward, as if these maritime merchants have already discussed, I am afraid that they have a negative heart to deal with it.

He smiled and said, "This request is nothing more than asking you to help you one or two!" However, the old man is not very well-informed in the news of the people, I don't know if you have any advice? ”

"I can't talk about teaching! Except for pirates, these things have nothing to do with us! As for the soldiers sent to Ningbo, this is a bit exaggerated! As far as I can see, the people are the most fair and obedient, but how can they rashly start a war with my Ming Dynasty? A businessman said lukewarmly.

Liu Daxia sighed: "Everyone, the old man knows that you have business dealings with the Huang people, and the old man doesn't want to pursue it!" Now the people occupy Shuangyu Island, and a city has been built on it, which shows that it has a long-term entrenchment heart, and the so-called side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly? Could it be true that you have to wait until the soldiers and ships come to the city, and then regret it? ”

The businessmen present all sneered secretly, one of them counted one, and they all hoped that the people would stay on Shuangyu Island for a long time, and it would be best to build Shuangyu Island into another smuggling port, so that they could make more money.

As for the expulsion of the Tyrants, that is the expulsion of the God of Wealth!

Liu Daxia also understands this truth, but he must let these businessmen pay for the silver, otherwise there will be no money and food to gather troops to prepare for war.

Yang Shousui sneered and said, "Lord Liu, in that case, why didn't the government exterminate the pirates earlier?" Now it's down? ”

Liu Daxia shook his head and sighed: "The imperial court has the difficulties of the imperial court, the people are poor and can't afford to move soldiers!"

Yang Shou frowned, he couldn't plunder the people, that is, he wanted to plunder the business?

"Lord Liu, since that's the case, I have nothing to say! This is the heart of my Yang family. As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket and handed it to Liu Daxia's desk.

Liu Daxia glanced at it, and there were only three hundred taels of silver.

The rest of the merchants also followed, one hundred taels and two hundred.

He raised his glass and said, "Thank you, the old man respects you!"

After drinking, he poured a full bottle of wine: "It's just that this court has already decided to expel the people, you don't think about the old man, think about the court in general!"

"Definitely!" Yang Shousui said: "Pirates are rampant, everyone has had a hard time in the past few years, I hope you will forgive me!"

After hearing this, Liu Daxia drank all the wine in the cup, slapped it on the silver ticket with one hand, and without saying a word, he directly ordered the guests to be sent off.

The money was in his own hands, and this group of businessmen still refused to give in, which surprised him a little. However, he still got his hands on a few businessmen.

…………

The next day, Liu Daxia ordered 200 pacesetters and came to a mansion opposite Yang's mansion.

This family is also a group of gentlemen, and they are also keen on business, but the business is not as big as the Yang family.

Liu Daxia asked people to knock on the door and said bluntly: "I heard that there are people here, so I came to inspect it!"

The owner of this house was already full of anger and shouted: "Tongwei? My family has been innocent for generations, and you will not be allowed to slander it. ”

"In that case, why not let the Governor go in and search for one or two?"

"Okay, if you want to check, you can check, if you can't find out the reason now, I will definitely go to this book to visit you!"

Liu Daxia smiled, pushed this person away and walked into the house, and said without taking a few steps: "Heavy eaves, algae painting wells, five-color decorations!" Isn't this a rebellion? ”

The head of the family immediately stood in place like five thunderbolts, not knowing what to do.

His family's mansion was built beyond the norm! Heavy eaves and heavy beams, algae painting wells, this is Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations, only the emperor and the prince are allowed to build.

It's just like Zhu Yuanzhang didn't allow businessmen to wear silk, and this ban had to be established for a long time.

Ningbo gentry and businessmen are so wealthy, whose mansion has not exceeded the system?

Soon, Liu Daxia was satisfied with demolishing most of the family's house, and he couldn't directly raid his house and go to prison, which would only offend the Ningbo gentry, but it would not be conducive to him raising food.

After the demolition was completed, he hit the main board of the house in public and fined 2,000 taels of silver. In the sixth year of Hongzhi, when Liu Daxia was controlling the Zhangqiu embankment of the Yellow River, he used to beat the local gentry.

The Yang family had been listening to the movement, and after Yang Shousui learned the details, his face turned green with anger.

When Liu Daxia came to the door and asked for an inspection, Yang Shousui had to serve him with good tea.

If he really wants to mess around, the Yang family may not be held accountable for any crimes, but the mansion will be demolished, in case Liu Daxia lets his family go to the street, it will make his Yang family even more humiliated.

It's just that they don't take advantage of it, and if they exceed the system, they will overstep, unless they overthrow the Ming ancestral system, Liu Daxia really has the power to rectify them ruthlessly.

After a cup of tea, Liu Daxia was sent out with a smile.

He did the same, and continued to visit one by one.

Ningbo gentry and businessmen are all dumb and eat coptis, but I didn't expect Liu Dongshan, who is known as a clean and honest person, to be so treacherous!
