Shen Long called the Jinling honorables together to give a lecture, "Surely none of you don't know what happened in the capital? I'll say it again today. You nobles can share the wealth with the country because of your The ancestors made great contributions to Daming, and it is Daming who needs you to be the backbone of the country!"

"It's a pity that some people in the capital have forgotten that they only care about spending time and wine on weekdays, and they even forget about the housekeeping skills that their ancestors have earned for them for more than two hundred years. I plan to punish them, but they dare to rebel!" Shen Long's eyes swept over Jinling Xungui one by one.

From Wei Guogong Xu Hongji down, all the nobles lowered their heads one after another, not daring to make eye contact with Shen Long; they are very fortunate now, thanks to the fact that they are far away in Jinling, and did not catch up with the battle of building slaves and besieging the city, otherwise Well, now they are the ones who have been dismissed from their ranks and ransacked their homes and beheaded for public display.

In terms of the degree of corruption, Jinling's nobles are more serious than the capital's, because the capital is under the eyes of the emperor, and the nobles dare not do things too presumptuously; Jinling is different, here are the nobles, guarding eunuchs and There are three pillars in the civil service system. The civil servants and guarding eunuchs are low-ranking officials. After staying in Jinling for a while, they will leave. The nobles have lived here for more than two hundred years. Who can control them?

If these people were really capable, during the Jiajing period, there would not have been dozens of Japanese pirates running rampant in the south of the Yangtze River; after hearing Shen Long's reprimand, Xu Hongji and others repeatedly accused them of crimes. In fact, the nobles would marry each other However, many of the group of people who were dealt with by Shen Long in the capital were their relatives, so they are also very scared now.

"The nobles in Beijing have started to practice again. If you want to continue to occupy the title and continue to enjoy the wealth that your ancestors earned for you, you have to practice for me!" Good thing!

"After the slavery is completely pacified, I will attack the south. At that time, it will be your turn to come in handy! If anyone can't bear this hardship, please tell me as soon as possible, and submit the memorial to ask you to cut the noble! But if I don't receive it For your memorial, if you haven't trained well, then don't blame me for being ruthless, then it won't be a matter of cutting the rank!" Shen Long said coldly.

"Your Majesty's instructions will be kept in mind, and you will serve the court with all your heart!" Xu Hongji and the others responded quickly, but no one offered to say that they could not do it. After all, no one would be willing to part with the wealth that has lasted for more than two hundred years; and they There is still a fluke mentality, Jinling is not the capital after all, maybe His Majesty will forget about it after he returns to Beijing.

It doesn't matter even if he didn't forget, His Majesty is far away in the capital, where he knows about Jinling, can't he just count on Yu Shi and Jin Yiwei to help him find out the news? It's time to buy these people off.

"I remember what you said today." Maybe you can fool others, but if you want to fool me, then you are thinking too much. Shen Long saw their thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

"Okay, I'm tired today, you guys go down first!" Shen Long waved his hands to make them retreat after finishing the training, and then told Lu Wenzhao and Cao Huachun to arrange competent people at home in Jinling to keep an eye on these nobles .

After talking about this matter, Lu Wenzhao did not immediately go down to make arrangements, but hesitated for a moment, and after Cao Huachun left, he said to Shen Long, "Your Majesty, Beizhai is waiting to be summoned outside the palace."

"If that's the case, let her come in, just to have dinner with me." Shen Long also wanted to hear about her work situation. Before that, Beizhai had been regularly communicating with Shen Long through the secret channel of Jinyiwei, but after all, there was no face-to-face communication. convenient.

After a while, Beizhai outside the palace gate was notified and was taken to the imperial garden of the Jinling Palace. He saw Shen Long sitting in the pavilion of the imperial garden,

The table in front of me is full of Jiangnan delicacies.

After Beizhai saluted, Shen Long asked her to get up directly, "It's really hard work for you to be alone in Jiangnan. Let's have dinner with me first, and then let's talk slowly."

Beizhai thanked him again and sat under Shen Long's seat. He was very happy to see his benefactor and admiration again. Shen Long didn't put on an air of condescension, and asked kindly about her situation in Jiangnan. , "Actually, I want you to return to Beijing as soon as possible, but your role in Jiangnan is also very important, so I can only work hard for you for another year or two."

"You should pay attention to your own safety in Jiangnan. When you go back, I will arrange some guards for you. With them protecting you, no one in Jiangnan can threaten your safety!" Leave some evil eunuchs for her, Beizhai It is still very dangerous to do things. Now she is helping Shen Long to shake the Confucian orthodoxy. Those people want to protect their own vested interests, but they can do anything. With the secret protection of Jin Yiwei, Shen Long can still Not too worried.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Hearing Shen Long express his concern for him, Beizhai felt warm in his heart; then she told Shen Long about her work in Jiangnan during this period.

For example, what was the reaction of Jiangnan Shilin when they read those articles? Some people were extremely dissatisfied with these articles and planned to come to make trouble, and some young people supported themselves and so on.

In addition, there is the distribution of Jiangnan's forces, and what do these forces think of her. In fact, not everyone is against Beizhai. You must know that since there are vested interests, there are people who are eager to replace them.

Jiangnan originally had many different trends of thought. Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi were both in Jiangnan. At least from now on, Beizhai’s remarks are not very outstanding. Vested interests do not focus on her, but this is only temporary. After Shen Long comes up with a more impactful article in the future, Beizhai will definitely suffer a huge impact.

"After the little girl arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, according to His Majesty's intention, she didn't only deal with those literati. She often changed her appearance and went to the villages, markets and other places. After seeing all kinds of people's livelihood, she realized that she was just a frog at the bottom of a well. "Beizhai's progress during this period is not small.

After talking about the business, Shen Long asked her if she had encountered any interesting things recently. Beizhai started to talk slowly, and occasionally talked about Qinhuai Fengyue, which gave Shen Long a good opportunity to deal with the nobles of Jinling .

"Please pay attention to this matter. If there is any news, immediately tell the guards I sent you to, and they will notify me in the shortest possible time." Maybe, before I leave Jiangnan this time, I can clean them up.
