In the face of interests, not many people can always remain sober. If the interests are huge enough, perhaps even the most sober people will inevitably become confused and take desperate risks.

Therefore, in the face of huge profits in the tens of millions every year, these gentry family owners in the Jiangnan area finally couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to join forces again to cause trouble.

From their point of view, they have no choice but to make trouble. The imperial court is getting richer, but the gentry family is constantly being cut off and their blood sucked. Their influence is getting weaker and weaker, far less than it was in the previous dynasty. If this situation is left alone, after a few years,

Most of their descendants will be reduced to fish on the chopping board, just like the mud-legged people of the common people, who will be slaughtered at the mercy of the court.

Therefore, although it seems incredible, the Great Series happened as scheduled.

"Are they drifting away? Or is it that my majestic Chu State Master can no longer lift the sword?"

This was Qin Feng's first reaction when he learned that more than 70% of the officials in Jiangnan, including scholar Hongru and the heads of wealthy families, had jointly submitted a letter to the court.

Perhaps it is because he often retreats in seclusion and has not come out to enhance his sense of presence in the past two years, so many people have forgotten the illustrious reputation of the Imperial Master. Or maybe he has the mentality of "the law does not blame everyone" and feels that the emperor

No matter how strong he is, it is impossible to deal with all these officials at once, which will cause great chaos in the Jiangnan region.

He looked at Cao Yun, the censor of Zuodu in front of him, and said calmly: "What other actions do they have? Let's talk about it together."

"Their courage... is indeed great!"

Cao Yun studied his face and said cautiously: "Forcing the palace is only the first step. It would be fine if the court gives in, but if it is clearly refused, they will collude to instigate the princes and officials in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the garrison generals, to raise the banner.

Rebellion, let the south of the Yangtze River be divided from the north of the imperial court, and rule by dividing the river."

Qin Feng's eyes turned cold, and he said quietly: "Dare you break the soil to stand on your own? How many chips do they have in their hands?"

The world has not been unified for a few years, people have peace of mind, and the imperial court implements the national policy of recuperation, so the taxes and corvees of the common people are very light. When survival is worry-free, it is impossible for many people to be willing to engage in this kind of beheading business.

.This is completely different from the troubled times when natural disasters continue for years and people are in dire straits.

Cao Yun reported: "According to the information collected from different channels, I won't mention the influence of these guys in the officialdom. Most officials tend to sympathize with them. The key is the local garrison, which they use various means to bribe and control."

There are more than twenty commanders in the capital, and the number of subordinate generals is even higher."

"If there is really going to be an uprising, it is estimated that the number of troops they can instigate rebellion is about 100,000 people. In addition, among the well-established aristocratic families, which family does not support hundreds or thousands of slaves and tenants? Mobilize them all and equip them with armor.

, I estimate that we can gather 100,000 people."

Qin Feng chuckled and said: "A full attack of 200,000 people? Even if they are all elite warriors, can we change the world?"

Yun Qijun, who was next to him, said: "They also sent people to contact various Taoist sects and offered a high price, hoping to lure these Taoist sects into trouble with them. I have received a lot of gifts here.

Of course, the person who gave the gift has been killed on my order."

The heads of this group of families have not completely forgotten the reputation of the national master. They know that only the power of the monastic world can compete with it, so they set their sights on Yun Qijun, the general leader of the Taoist sects in the world, and send an eloquent

Scholars came to the door with heavy gifts, hoping to persuade the Taoist sect to support their ideas.

It's a pity that they never thought about the true relationship between Qin Feng and Yun Qijun. This kind of move is tantamount to hitting the edge of a knife.

Qin Feng nodded and asked, "What did your Majesty say?"

Cao Yun said: "The emperor has secretly ordered the garrison in the south of the Yangtze River to implement martial law. He has also mobilized 200,000 elite troops from the capital camp to sail south on warships of the naval fleet to prepare for any eventuality. He also hopes that the lord's private army can also cooperate with the action."

"In addition, the cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel have begun to select a list of candidate officials, and they will be appointed to their posts immediately after the situation in the Jiangnan area calms down. Of course, because there are too many people, it is estimated that it will take a few more days to complete."

Removing more than 2,000 officials at once was enough to put the government offices in the counties south of the Yangtze River into a state of near paralysis. Such a thing was unheard of in previous dynasties, let alone the newly established Chu Dynasty.

Of course, similar incidents of forcing the palace had happened in previous dynasties, and in the end they basically ended with the emperor compromising and appeasing the local area. That is why the current family heads have the confidence and confidence. They feel that if Chu Emperor Zhao Yuanjin does not want the entire Jiangnan region to be corrupted,

When war breaks out, the only option is to follow the example of the previous government and make concessions.

The key to the problem is that Zhao Yuanjin is not an ordinary emperor who took over the jade seal from his father, but the founding leader of the country who was fought in blood and fire. What kind of big scene has he not seen in his life? Even if Qin Feng's factors are not taken into account, it is

It is impossible to bow down easily, otherwise it will set such a bad precedent, and future generations will not know how much they will be kicked in the face and bullied by these gentry.

Qin Feng nodded slightly. Zhao Yuanjin was not confused yet, so he saved himself a lot of effort and let him handle it. If he really encountered an unexpected emergency, it would not be too late for him to intervene.

The next development of the situation made all the officials in the court shudder. The emperor had no intention of surrendering at all. Early the next morning, he announced measures to clean up the officialdom in Jiangnan. The garrison troops in each county then mobilized to arrest those officials one by one according to the list.

He was arrested, dragged to Caishikou, where the charges were read out, and then beheaded.

Immediately, the private army of the National Preceptor was also dispatched, and all the scholars and scholars from aristocratic families who followed the riot were captured and executed. All their property was confiscated, and the family members and children were distributed as slaves. In an instant, heads were being killed, rivers of blood were flowing, and the whole world was in a state of confusion.

The shock.

But Qin Feng doesn't feel anything about this. In the apocalyptic world, he has killed thousands of people, and even completely killed an alien intelligent race. What does this little blood mean?

I have killed more people than you have ever seen! Do you want to challenge me and negotiate terms? Do you want to kill your mother?

After half a month, the dust settled.

A large number of officials in the imperial court died, a large amount of property was added to the Imperial Preceptor's treasury, and a group of beauties were brought into the back house. They were all selected by the imperial envoys from among the relatives of the convict officials and family heads.

Qin Feng had nothing to do here, and if he didn't take them, he would get nothing. The imperial court suddenly had more than two thousand vacant official positions, and they all had to be filled as soon as possible, which made the cabinet and officials very busy.

However, there are as many people who want to be officials as there are leeks in the field. Every time you cut a stubble, there will be another stubble. As long as you look carefully, you can still find them all. Half a month later, these appointed officials happily took up their posts.

.

The entire Jiangnan area is peaceful and calm. As long as a period of time passes, no one will remember those unlucky guys anymore, and the people's lives will only become more prosperous.

In his spare time, Qin Feng, in addition to accompanying his daughters on a daily basis, used the mirror country to train batches of suitable manpower, and then sent them to mines around the world, or placed them in chambers of commerce and fiefdoms to work.

Various industrial robots and mining and smelting equipment customized from the apocalyptic world are constantly being transported, which has gradually increased the production capacity of mines in various places, especially rare earth mineral deposits, which are one of the core raw materials essential for the production of new batteries, so

A lot of reserves are needed.

Most of the rare earth resources in the main world are produced in China. However, due to too much mining in the past, China's rare earth reserves are not particularly large now, and prices are rising year by year, so Qin Feng thinks it is better to mine and refine them from the Dachu world.

It's a good deal, as long as it's transported back to the main world in a more secretive way.

After the training of the fiftieth batch of talents in Dachu World was completed, Qin Feng finished handling the matters at hand and returned to the main world with another batch of resources.

It seems that he has been away for a long time this time. He has stayed in the Doomsday World for more than two years and in the Dachu World for more than half a year. However, due to the difference in the speed of time, only more than two months have passed in the main world.

Now when traveling through other worlds, the time is accelerated by twenty times.

At the company headquarters on Hong Kong Island, Avatar is still working diligently in the office.

As he developed in the other world, his demand for resources in the main world increased. Therefore, Qin Feng left two avatars here, one in a company on Hong Kong Island, responsible for the secret procurement and sales of resources.

The other changed his appearance and identity and secretly presided over the situation in Madagascar.

During the period of his absence, everything was normal at home. It was not that there were no competitors from all walks of life trying to make plans for him. Some of them, domestic and foreign, were quite powerful. They used overt and covert tricks in an endless stream, but the incarnation saw through them all in time and took them.

As a result of the countermeasures, those guys suffered a lot of losses, but gained nothing.

But in Qin Feng's opinion, his countermeasures are still a bit too gentle. After all, it is human nature to eat rather than fight. Maybe he should consider being more ruthless and decisive in the future to prevent them from truly feeling the pain.
