Jiangnan has been a prosperous land of smoke and willows since ancient times, and a gentle and rich village.

The eunuch Wei Zhongxian, who was once powerful and now rich in Nanjing, seems to be a little happy now.

In Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi and even the capital, Huguang and Shu, Eunuch Wei, who has its own industries, is now in addition to continuing to expand the scale of his business in the south and expanding his business in the south and philanthropists often donate tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to a certain disaster area, his main work is to control the literary style and public opinion orientation of Jiangnan today.

With the great exaggeration of the deeds of Emperor Zhu Youxiao personally leading the Imperial Guards to repel the Tartars, Wei Zhongxian could be regarded as a heavy blow to those scholars who mocked His Majesty himself in fighting the Tartars today as undoubtedly overestimating his ability.

Even under the instruction of Wei Zhongxian, someone has published a long article in a newspaper to discuss the irrationality of scholars in controlling military power. The purpose is very simple, which is to strip away civil servants of the control of military power.

At the same time, we continue to praise and praise His Majesty today, especially those who are easily motivated. Every time Wei Zhongxian gives porridge, the people will feel sorry for His Majesty, and every time he helps a student, he says that His Majesty cherishes his talent.

In addition, the atrocities of the Tartars and the Guanning Army were also disclosed, and Wei Zhongxian personally invited some storytellers to go to the countryside and to market towns to tell the atrocities of the Tartars and the Guanning warlords to the lower-level people.

Let them know who is escorting their peaceful life and who is threatening their survival.

Some students of the royalist party even left messages in newspapers to learn from Ban Chao of the Han Dynasty to join the army, join the imperial guards, eliminate the Tartars, and suppress the rebels.

Some Fushe students who tried to defend the Guanning Army or seek excuses for their family doing business with the Tartars did not dare to say that His Majesty was in a state of war. They just tactfully proposed that they could only follow the kingly way, practice etiquette and law, and educate the barbarians, and did not dare to openly oppose Zhu Youxiao or slander Zhu Youxiao.

You should know that Mao Pijiang, the son of Mao Qizong, is a typical example. Because his father caused trouble in the capital and was executed by His Majesty, Mao Pijiang complained about Zhu Youxiao very much, so he slandered Zhu Youxiao in a cultural and social event. After several royalists found out, he caught him and beat him up. One of the royalists even questioned Mao Pijiang. Now that His Majesty even took out the money for the tomb to help the people, how could His Majesty make money crazy and collect money and the people's money?

It is reported that Mao Pijiang was beaten to be disabled, but the royalist student who beat him was safe and sound. The reason was naturally because Wei Zhongxian's secret protection.

Wei Zhongxian is now almost a thorn in the eyes of the gentry of Jiangnan. Not only did Wei Zhongxian join forces with a group of down-and-out literati and money-recognized storytellers to control the public opinion orientation of Jiangnan, but also because Wei Zhongxian always faced these gentry of Jiangnan.

Less than half a year after Wei Zhongxian came to Jiangnan, he opened countless schools and supported no less than a thousand poor students. Among them, three of them had already had high school Jinshi, hundreds of them became scholars. In the autumn examinations of Nanzhili and Zhejiang, there were more than a dozen new imperial examination candidates who were not replaced by the children of gentry last year because they asked Wei Zhongxian for help.

Wei Zhongxian not only sponsored scholars from the bottom of the class, but also helped ordinary farmers and tenants who were exploited by the gentry and weavers in silk weaving workshops to resist the gentry.

A member of Xu was arrested by Wei Zhongxian for forcing the operation to use the East Factory system for his troops to dismiss the weaver for owing wages to the weaver and joining the local county magistrate to beat the weaver who was leading the trouble. He also asked for an order to dismiss the county magistrate and asked for a question.

And then Mr. Xu was also ended up at the cost of killing people to pay for his life.

There were hundreds of miners in Cixi who mutinied and made trouble because a large miner owed ICBC all year round. However, some of the big family served as censors in the court, so the big family instigated the local government officials to mobilize officers and soldiers to suppress and encircle the hundreds of miners on the grounds that the riots and the people caused trouble.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongxian learned about this matter. Wei Zhongxian used his power to be the eunuch in Nanjing to blatantly confiscate the home of the rich household and rescue hundreds of miners. The censor who the rich household relied on was dismissed.

In short, Wei Zhongxian is now kind and kind in the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, while some gentry from merchants and landlords hate him even more, some scold him for seeking fame and others for hiding evil intentions.

But Wei Zhongxian didn't care what these gentry in Jiangnan thought. He just followed Zhu Youxiao's instructions, such as opening various workshops to ask workers to give generous wages, and even helped the craftsmen in other workshops to ask the bosses of these workshops to ask for wages. When they encountered a shortage of food, they would never hoard goods, but instead helped the government to calm prices.

It is precisely because of this that the business of the gentry in Jiangnan became increasingly difficult, but his business became easier and easier. After all, everyone knows that following Eunuch Wei can get a higher salary.

Some officials impeached Wei Zhongxian to plunder the people's wealth in Jiangnan, causing the people to live in poverty, and even directly criticized them in newspapers, which often resulted in a sank to the sea.

Without His Majesty’s decree, no one in the Cabinet and the Six Ministry dared to touch Wei Zhongxian. It is precisely because of this that the pirates who control the maritime trade also knew that Wei Zhongxian had a strong background and liked to cooperate with Wei Zhongxian.

As a result, Wei Zhongxian's business became bigger and bigger, and he donated more and more money. Once a flood occurred in Qiantang River, the Ministry of Revenue could not afford the money, so he asked Wei Zhongxian to take the silver first.

Wei Zhongxian was stationed in Jiangnan, and Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan were harassed at all times outside the pass.

There is a king guarding Shanhaiguan, and a man with a Guizhou can be guaranteed to be safe.

Then, from Jizhou, Xuanhua to Longxi, there were Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and Sun Chengzong, and there should be no mutiny in soldiers. Even if there are any changes, the ability of these three people can calm down.

This was a good situation for the Ming Dynasty, and it was just an excellent opportunity for the emperor Zhu Youxiao to carry out reforms.

Che Ziwei, Ma Xiaoxiao, when Zhu Youxiao and the Imperial Guard were about to return to the capital, Wei Guangwei, cabinet minister Qian Qianyi, Gu Bingqian and ministers of the Ministry had already arrived outside the capital to wait far away.

With the comprehensive rectification of the eunuch party and the eradication of the Donglin party, although the current Beijing officials are not capable of making a decision and making a decision, their loyalty can at least be guaranteed.

In the Forbidden City and in the Kunning Palace, the queen Zhang Yan, who had been vegetarian and chanting Buddha for a long time, stood outside the Qianqing Gate all day long, looking out of the Forbidden City.

From the uneasyness of learning that Your Majesty was fighting with the Tartars outside, to the joy of knowing that Your Majesty was about to return to the capital, and then to the resentment and expectation of the boudoir all day and night, Zhang Yan has lost a lot of weight.

Xu Fo, who has been staying in the Ganqing Palace, also learned about His Majesty from other palace maids. She didn't know why. She was also depressed when Zhu Youxiao was not there, just like Zhang Yan and others.

Zhu Youxiao did not realize that he had become an emperor now, and there would be someone in the deep palace to worry about him. His career in leaving Beijing for several months has made him even stronger in his desire to change the Ming Dynasty.

Especially when he saw hundreds of ministers outside the city gate shouting long live in unison, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel excited.

The ending of the Jisi Change has changed, so everything will follow the changes in the future.
