Xu Bingzheng arrived at Guide Mansion as fast as possible.

He is younger than Wang Xianggan.

Wang Xianggan was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing.

Xu Bing was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli, that is, a Jinshi in the same category as Zhang Maoxiu, Zhang Jingxiu, Zhang Taizheng, and Gu Xiancheng.

It’s no wonder that Zhang Taizheng thought from the bottom of his heart that he was not reused, perhaps it was not because of his youth.

According to Zhu Yili's intention, Xu Bingzheng was asked to temporarily act as the governor of Guide Prefecture, and Wang Xianggan was taken first.

After He Xizhou's case and Guide Mansion's killing of the Jinyiwei case were settled, Wang Xianggan would return to Beijing and let him officially take over the prefect of Guide Mansion.

This arrangement means that the prefect of Guide Prefecture is still Xu Bingzheng, but Wang Xianggan is the one who takes charge.

Xu Bingzheng took over mainly because he had experience in reform, after all, Xu Bingzheng was still young.

Guan'er was not as good as Wang Xiang's Ganda and was also an acting prefect, so after arriving at Guide Mansion, everything was naturally followed by Wang Xiang's Gan's leader.

But for Wang Xianggan, Xu Bingzheng came more than just a form, in order to remind the powerful and powerful merchants of Guide Mansion: Please note that the prefect of Guide Mansion is no longer He Xizhou.

Xu Bingzheng is here, and it is hard to say how effective it is to handle the case.

Although He Xizhou was arrested, the current situation in Guide Mansion is still unclear and even complicated.

Boss Sun from Fenghuiyuan has done everything he should do, but the wealthy businessmen are still waiting and watching.

There are also the heartland of Henan, and there are many royal relatives, such as King Zhou, King Yi, King Zhao, King Zheng, King Wei, King Xiu, King Chong, King Hui, and King Ru. The fiefs of these vassal kings are all in Henan.

Although some vassal kings have been deposed (mostly because they were deposed because they were deposed without heirs), it does not mean that they have no connections and influence. Just like the Liao kings have been deposed as commoners and deposed, women who are close to him can still bite Zhang Juzheng frantically.

According to Wang Xianggan's understanding and the public's reports, He Xizhou had close contacts with several princes.

Therefore, it may not be difficult to overthrow He Xizhou, and it may not be that difficult to get rich businessmen to pay tax evasion. The difficult thing is to investigate the case. I don’t know how many big shots will be involved in the case of killing the Jinyiwei.

...

After Xu Bingzheng took office, of course, he did not live in the Qianhu Office like Wang Xianggan, so he had to go to the prefect's office.

On the first day of my trip, I felt neglected. I came with the title of the prefect, but I seemed to be unwelcoming him, and no one greeted him.

Zhang Jinhe was going to go, but after he had a fight with He Xizhou, he fell ill in bed and was really inspiring.

Xu Bingzheng didn't care.

When I met Wang Xianggan, I told him that when I first came, the work in Guide Mansion would definitely not be easy to carry out, and it would definitely take a while for him to do it.

Fortunately, his task was not to handle the case, but to govern Guide Mansion and the subsequent reforms. It seemed that he had seen clearly Zhu Yili's intention: wherever there is movement, reform will start.

Since everyone has come, Zhu Yili has to trust him so much, no matter how hard he is, he has to calm down and move forward step by step.

Although he is not popular, he can summon his officials.

It is one thing to not cooperate with him, and it is another thing to dare to make things difficult for him or disobey him.

Therefore, Xu Bingzheng's goal is very clear. The first thing he did when he came to Guide Mansion was to find out who was from He Xizhou, who remained neutral, and who opposed He Xizhou.

No matter what work is done, the most important thing is that one cannot do it by himself.

So the first thing to be affected is to find a group of followers who actively support and cooperate with him, and those who deliberately sing against him will never be entrusted with important tasks.

Sharpening a knife will not delay the chopping of wood. First set up the team of people before deciding how to do it.

...

Boss Sun from Fenghuiyuan came to the Qianhu House of Guidewei on that day at the invitation of Wang Xianggan.

After a few greetings, Wang Xianggan went straight to the topic: "The rich and powerful businessmen are still waiting and watching, right?"

"Yes." Boss Sun nodded and replied, "I have said everything I should say and done everything I should do. As for how they make a decision, I can't force others to do it."

"I understand this." Wang Xianggandao, "I invite you to come today to find two typical examples."

"Are you going to punish them?" asked Boss Sun.

"Transferring them to legal sanctions is to clearly deprive them of their property and send them to prison."

"Ah?" Boss Sun was surprised, "Will this happen..."

"Will it be something?"

"Then won't they finish their lives?"

"What if it's better? They've been watching and thinking we won't touch them."

Wang Xianggan looked like a torch, and then said, "But this move is intended to cure diseases and save people, rather than to put the merchants in Guide Mansion to death, so sending them to prison requires finding suitable targets."

"I probably understand what the imperial envoy meant." Boss Sun nodded thoughtfully.

"It is time for merchants with bad character and no repentance to suffer a little." Wang Xianggan said seriously, "Since the emperor ascended the throne, he encouraged business, but he never allowed tax evasion to accumulate illegal income. We should crack down on such businessmen. Therefore, the target choice of this attack is particularly important. With the premise of not disturbing the order of the business community in Guide Prefecture, the purpose of curing diseases and saving lives, and then using the business community to rectify the political circle, I hope to close the case of killing the Jinyiwei as soon as possible, so I can return to Beijing as soon as possible."

"Why don't the imperial envoy have a goal?"

"Of course there is, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Boss Sun to come today. Boss Sun will take a look at this first."

As he said that, Wang Xianggan pulled out a stack of paper.

Boss Sun took it and saw that each piece of paper clearly listed the names of well-known merchants in Guide Mansion, including Boss Sun's own name.

Under each boss’s name, the project they operate and its connection with other industries is written.

Several of the bosses' names were circled in a circle with red pens, which was particularly eye-catching to show the difference.

Boss Sun looked at it and immediately understood that the person who drew the red circle must be the target he chose, that is, the merchant who was about to attack them.

"Boss Sun knows the bosses who draw the red circle?" After Boss Sun finished reading it, Wang Xiang asked.

"I know, I know everything." Boss Sun nodded.

“How is their business doing?”

"good."

"What about their character and reputation in the business world?" Wang Xianggan continued.

"It's okay, too."

"What does it mean?"

"It's just a good deal."

"In Boss Sun's opinion, which boss can't stand his character and reputation in the business world? Boss Sun wouldn't tell me that he can still stand his way, right?"

"Then, that may not be..." Boss Sun stuttered.

"It seems that Boss Sun still doesn't want to offend people?"

"Not really, I just can't bear to send them to prison like this."

"I have to kill a chicken to show the monkey, right? I also specially selected the boss who usually has little contact with Boss Sun. After all, Boss Sun cooperated so much this time and paid the tax and fine of nearly one million taels of silver. How could I have the nerve to block Boss Sun's wealth again?" Wang Xiang said slowly.

"Thank you, Lord Qin!"

"Boss Sun, don't be polite. I just said that this time it is to cure the disease and save people and rectify orders from all walks of life, rather than to defeat anyone who wants to do so."

Boss Sun nodded: "Since that's the case, then follow the imperial envoy's wishes."
