"Sir, Lord Qian sends you a post, invite you for a while." As soon as Hong Chengchou arrived in Jiangnan, he came to make contact with him. The officials and gentry who visited rushed up like a rush, and the status of the people who came forward was getting higher and higher. Now he couldn't even resist the qualifications like Qian Qianyi, but he was still a little reserved and did not take the initiative to ask for a meeting. Instead, he invited Hong Chengchou to another place to meet.

"If you don't go, I will say that my official is busy with official duties. I will go to visit Mr. Qian when I am free." Whether it is the time to become a Jinshi, officialdom and literary status, Hong Chengchou is far inferior to Qian Qianyi. If he is compared with him, he will definitely not miss this good opportunity to expand his connections. But now he has a heavy responsibility, and it will be a watch if he can become the chief minister in the future. Compared with the two, the little help that Qian Qianyi can provide him is nothing.

Besides, the evidence and criminals sent by Chen Guangfu had just been taken to the back hall. Qian Qianyi has made a mistake in this matter that His Majesty was extremely displeased, so Hong Chengchou would not see him even more; most importantly, the purpose of Hong Chengchou's trip was to treat these gentry in Jiangnan. Qian Qianyi, as the best among the gentry in Jiangnan, would definitely be the target of his attack. Seeing him now is just a matter of increasing trouble; so his subordinates responded.

After Qian Qianyi received the news, his brows frowned. First, his merchant ship was detained, but now Hong Chengchou acted like he was rejected thousands of miles away. It seems that there will be a big storm in Jiangnan. However, although Qian Qianyi wrote a good article, he had no strategy and could not come up with any good idea for a while. He could only invite other gentry to discuss together, and all this fell into the eyes of those who are interested.

"Sir, the affairs of Jiangnan are complicated. What are you going to start with?" Hong Chengchou discussed work plans with his staff and officials from various departments of the court.

"Since I am going south this time to quell the turmoil in Jiangnan, then we should start by dealing with the turmoil." Hong Chengchou said confidently, "Although the turmoil in Jiangnan appears to be caused by the weavers on the surface, if we look into it deeply, Rufei's gentry treated the people too harshly, resulting in the weavers losing their way out, how could such a big mess be caused? If we don't solve this problem, but just deal with the weavers, we may not be able to solve the problem."

Hong Chengchou first set a tone for this time and threw the cause of the turmoil in Jiangnan on the gentry. "When His Majesty quelled the riots in Shaanxi, he told Lord Yang, many officials below that if the people cannot survive, even if they sacrifice their lives, they must find a way to fill their stomachs. Since these gentry did not give the weaver a way, they would not blame them for making trouble! But those gentry did not expect that the people would have to have a meal, but instead made the sentence "I would not be willing to die in peace and starve, but instead became a mantis." These people really read the books of sages."

"It's not just a weaver workshop, but also too much for the gentry of Jiangnan to squeeze the people in other places. If Jiangnan's land output was much better than the northwest, I'm afraid there would be war here long ago." Someone immediately agreed. They had already figured out their purpose before leaving Beijing, and they had no big connection with Jiangnan's gentry, so no one spoke to them.

"So, to completely quell the unrest in the south of the Yangtze River, we must first rectify the administration of officials, and secondly, we must investigate the land." Seeing that the morale of the army was available, Hong Chengchou immediately came up with his own plan and pointed the finger at the gentry and officials in the south of the Yangtze River.

This change was completely beyond the expectations of the gentry of Jiangnan. They thought that the imperial envoys of the court were supporting them as before, but now they are dealing with them? This caught many people off guard. In addition, Hong Chengchou refused to see guests before, these people finally woke up. His Majesty was planning to attack the gentry of Jiangnan.

After dealing with several young gentry who had done too much and had unstable foundations, the rest of the people finally realized that of course they would not surrender. They used old methods to instigate the merchants and the scholars to make trouble, but they hid behind them. In addition, the impeachment memorial flew towards the capital like snowflakes, and when Hong Chengchou had any improper handling, he would be pulled down. Some people even began to think about a new article "The Tombstone of the Five-person" to make it famous.

However, Hong Chengchou's methods of disposing of the waste were much more decisive than those before. The strength he had in his hands was far beyond those wastes. His Majesty's trust was the one with Cao Wenzhao and Chen Guangfu and the two armies of the land and land were helping each other. The Jinyiwei and the East Factory were already busy. Even if they took ruthless actions to disperse the troubled scholars and the merchants, they seized the leaders and removed the fame of the scholars without hesitation and would never hire them. Then they were imprisoned and severely questioned the envoys hidden behind them.

The reason why these scholars dared to cause trouble was that they relied on their identity as scholars. Ordinary court officials dared not deal with it? After being hit by such a blow, they suddenly collapsed. Thinking about the fate they would encounter without this identity, these people did not dare to blame Hong Chengchou, so they transferred hatred to the envoys behind them and confessed them without hesitation.

The small merchants and people were either blinded by the gentry and counted the losses of their workshops to the court or collected the gentry's silver. For these people, officials from the Ministry of Revenue directly revealed the data on the recent changes in the textile workshops in Jiangnan. The Three Laws came forward to express their guilt for attacking the imperial envoy's office. The small merchants and people also surrendered. Another group of gentry was involved in this matter, providing Hong Chengchou with a lot of evidence.

The thousand soldiers under Hong Chengchou finally had a place to use their skills. Under the guidance of the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang, they quickly surrounded the mansions of these gentry and captured them all in one go. What is the crime of letting others attack the imperial envoy's yamen? It is better to save their lives and go to Liaodong and Liuqiu to open up the land.

Such thunderous methods directly shocked the gentry of Jiangnan. 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 someone who was serious, they realized that their past wealth was just a fortress on the sand dunes and could not withstand the wind and rain at all.
