As night fell, exclamations of surprise came from the inner courtyard of the government office.

The maid Shuang'er shouted in a fuss: "My lord, my lord!"

Ling Xin'an came out of the study and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shuang'er looked excited, his face turned rosy with excitement, and he said hurriedly: "Sir, there are a lot of silver coins."

Ling Xin'an smiled, pinched her face with her hand and said, "Look at your potential, take me to see you."

When they came to the hall, six large boxes were neatly placed. Seeing Ling Xin'an arrive, a waiter immediately came forward and said, "Sir, this is what the shopkeeper ordered."

Ling Xin'an said to Sun Wu: "Open it and take a look."

Sure enough, it was all new silver in circulation, totaling fifteen thousand taels from the three houses.

After the waiter left, Ling Xin'an looked at the money in front of him and felt worried, because he found that no one seemed to help take care of the money.

Sitting aside, looking at this and that, I almost drooled at the sight of the money being spent.

Ling Xin'an then said: "Shuang'er, come here."

Hearing this, Shuang'er reluctantly walked to Ling Xin'an, turning back three times with each step.

Ling Xin'an smiled and cursed: "This money belongs to us and will not escape."

Shuang'er's eyes immediately sparkled and said: "Really? Sir!"

"When did your adults lie to you?"

"Humph, sir, have you lied to us enough?"

"Is there still such a thing?" Ling Xin'an asked curiously.

"Sir, you tricked me from Kyoto to get here, huh!" Shuang'er pouted, his anger clearly revealed.

Ling Xin'an smiled, it seemed that Ling Zhian was to blame.

"I didn't lie to you this time, all the money will be yours from now on!"

Shuang'er opened his eyes wide and looked at Ling Xin'an with a look of disbelief on his face and said, "Sir, do you think the money is in the hands of the slaves?"

Ling Xin'an nodded and said, "Of course, yes."

"No, sir, I can't control this."

Ling Xin'an said: "I don't have a housekeeper, so you will be the housekeeper from now on!"

Shuang'er waved her hands quickly: "Sir, we have a housekeeper. Butler Yang returned to Ling Mansion last month and has not returned yet."

"Steward Yang?" Ling Xin'an frowned. He really didn't know, so he immediately asked, "How is Steward Yang like a person?"

Shuang'er thought for a moment, clasped his hands and said, "Steward Yang has been in the Ling Mansion for many years and has been working with the family head. Your Excellency, you sent him here with you when you came here to take over as the family head."

Ling Xin'an nodded and said, "You were the housekeeper before he came back. Help me take care of this money."

Seeing Ling Xin'an like this, Shuang'er had no choice but to accept it. Fortunately, the maids trained by the Ling family since childhood still knew how to take care of the basics of finances.

"Shuang'er, tomorrow you go to the market and recruit some hard-working people to help take care of it. More and more people will be needed in the future."

"Okay, sir."

…

The current funding problem was temporarily solved, and the next day, Guo Song and Dou Kai submitted a list.

The list was not long. Ling Xin'an looked at each family on the list, remained silent for a while and said, "Are you sure?"

Guo Songdou said: "Return to your lord, sure!"

Looking at the two of them, Ling Xin'an said: "Arrest all participants."

Soon, an action swept the entire Jiangzhou Prefecture.

The families and chambers of commerce involved behind the scenes were horrified.

What they didn't expect was that the county magistrate actually dared to take action.

Another early morning, when the people in the inner city got up one after another, they saw rows of human heads hanging outside the city gate. The blood was not dry, and dozens of heads were staring with big eyes and terrifying faces.

On the city wall, there is a notice posted, the notice is very simple, rebellion.

As soon as this post came out, the entire Jiangzhou Mansion was in an uproar. They looked at the dozens of heads. At the same time, hundreds of people were kneeling below them. These were the members of the implicated family.

In just a quarter of an hour, hundreds of people gathered under the city gate to watch.

Someone who was bold stepped forward and asked, "Sir, why are these?"

The man on duty looked at the visitor and said in a bad tone: "The main culprit was killed last night for the serious crime of treason, and the other accomplices. These people are kind-hearted and have only been exiled for three thousand miles."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.

The crime of rebellion, since the rebellion of the seven kings, the most terrifying torture in the Zhou Dynasty is the crime of rebellion. It is precisely because of the rebellion of the seven kings that the emperor has always been extremely cruel to the crime of rebellion.

Hundreds of people were pressed down by officials and exiled, crying all the way.

Many of them didn't even know what happened. They only knew that last night, everyone was having a dinner together, and then officers and soldiers showed up. They arrested them all without saying a word, without interrogating them. They just read their names from the list.

Anyone who read out the name was beheaded on the spot.

…

Bang...

In the city, President Liu and others' lips trembled and they dropped all the precious jade porcelain teacups in their hands to the ground.

The same thing happened in many mansions, and the major families and merchants were so angry that they were speechless.

They did not expect that Ling Xin'an's revenge would come so quickly. They did not expect that it would be so cruel.

This scene completely stunned some of them.

All along, Ling Xin'an, or to be precise, Ling Zhian, in front of these families and merchants, thought that he was just a second-generation official who came here to gain some experience.

Everyone knows that the Ling Mansion in Jinling City is the most powerful existence in the world. As long as the Zhou Dynasty has a little more power, no one does not know the existence of the Ling Mansion, and Ling Zhian just came from Manjusri.

I just graduated from the college and came here to work here to gain experience.

Such a person will definitely be transferred back to Jinling City in three to five years because of his family connections. Therefore, in the past few months, Ling Zhian's performance can be said to be very satisfactory to various local forces.

Neither offending nor flattering, everything maintained the previous situation until he was assassinated by a group of farmers two months ago.

In the military camp, Zou Wen looked at the list of people who had been executed and asked: "There is something wrong with this list."

Hu Bing was drinking tea leisurely and observing the nearby mountains without saying anything.

Zou Wen spoke again: "Sir, don't you think that he has put himself at a disadvantage by doing this?"

Hu Bing said slowly: "What's the disadvantage?"

"Look at the Bai family, there is no need to instigate anyone to cause trouble. I really can't understand why they did this."

Hu Bing put down his tea cup, looked towards the county seat and said slowly: "He is too young!"

Ling Xin was sitting in her study. The relocation of the cattle and sheep would be completed in about ten days. After nearly a month of publicity and rectification of street sanitation, the streets were now clean and tidy. The merchants and common people finally noticed the difference.

, I used to walk on the street every morning or night, and I would always see some rough guys squatting or standing around a corner to solve personal problems, leaving behind a pool of unpleasant smell.

Of course, it can't be completely eliminated now, but the city is indeed much cleaner, and even the streets have many more young girls taking to the streets.

The people finally began to believe what Master Ling said about making Jiangzhou Prefecture the most beautiful and livable capital city.

But the incident of rebellion immediately made many people understand that the person in charge of the government office was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Killing a group of people, hoping to shock them. Ling Xin'an rubbed his temples, of course he knew there was something wrong with the list, and without even checking it, Ling Xin'an directly issued the decision to kill the Cao family.

What he did was to frighten the various families and merchants who were secretly obstructing them. Jiangzhou Prefecture was not a big place, but it was also a very important county government close to the inland river. It connected to the river, and along the river to the southwest and northwest, there were

The land of the Ming people and barbarians goes down to Hezhou and Wuzhou, goes straight to the sea, goes north from Hezhou, enters Qingzhou and Weizhou, and goes up the river to Jinling.

Although Jiangzhou is not a battleground for the military, it is also a very important city along the river.

If Ling Xin'an wants to find a place to live in this troubled world, he must build Jiangzhou City into a city that can be attacked, retreated and defended.

Before that, he didn't mind kicking off all the stumbling blocks that hindered him.

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, those who conspired to rebel would be punished with death and then be exposed to the public for half a month. However, Ling Xin'an asked the people of Yizhuang to clean up after three days because the streets were dirty.

Jiangzhou City has been quiet and peaceful these days, but on this day, soy sauce finally started to be sold.

Three chambers of commerce launched soy sauce at the same time. Previously, they wanted to sell it all in cans at a high price, but before that, they came to the government office in person to ask Ling Xin'an for advice.

Ling Xin'an told them that canned food is okay. The canned goods are sold to wealthy families. Cans of different sizes have different prices. Ordinary people cannot afford them. They can be sold in bulk. How much is one tael? You can sell them at the same price.

After hearing this, the three shopkeepers immediately shouted in admiration and left happily like children.

The three chambers of commerce have been deeply involved in the local area for many years, and their advertising and promotions are naturally grand and in place. As soon as the soy sauce was launched, it caused a huge sensation. In just three days, their inventory was sold out.

Then they calculated it and found that in just three days, almost 30,000 taels of silver had been credited to their account.

After this calculation, the three shopkeepers were all dumbfounded. To be honest, they knew they would make a profit from this business, but they didn't expect it to be so profitable. It can be said that they got the secret recipe from Master Ling without spending a penny.

This made them once again sigh that they were wise and lucky.

The advent of soy sauce completely changed the diet of Jiangzhou Prefecture people. With soy sauce, people discovered that food could be so delicious. So they went to inquire about buying it, and then found that it was gone. The three major chambers of commerce said that it would only be available in half a month.
