The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 31 I will never have itchy scalp or cold water
"Return to His Majesty."

Yang Ai, who lowered her head, responded softly, "The girl of the people knows."

Looking at this famous He Dongjun, Li Yunze laughed loudly, "You would like to follow me by my side."

Yang Ai's head hangs even lower, "Ministers are willing to serve His Majesty, and will never give up in life or death."

Zhou Daodeng was shocked when he heard the words, and it was a taboo to talk about life and death in front of the emperor.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunze was not angry at all, but nodded in satisfaction, "I always keep my word, and I will never have itchy scalp or too cold water."

Yang Ai raised her head in astonishment, what does this mean?
Li Yunze nodded slowly, and said solemnly, "Since you are with me, then change your name."

"The willow trees in this yard are full of shade. How about changing the surname Liu? I see that you are mild-tempered and uncontested. How about changing your name to Yin? Since you like Xin Jiaxuan's 'I should be like this when I see Qingshan', how about the word like this?"

Undoubtedly, Li Yunze was just talking nonsense, forcibly piled up Liu Rushi's name.

But who made him the emperor, since Yang Ai gave him a name, then Yang Ai will be Liu Yin and Liu Rushi in the future.

Liu Rushi bowed and saluted, "My daughter, thank Your Majesty for giving me your name."

Li Yunze looked at Zhou Daodeng with a strange look on his face, "Zhou Qing's family, you did a good job this time."

"This is a matter for the minister."

"Zhou Aiqing."

"The minister is here."

"I ordered you to be the governor of Liangjiang, in charge of the people, officials, criminals, taxation and other matters in Liangjiang." Li Yunze smiled and said, "Prince and less protection."

Zhou Daodeng's face was flushed with excitement, and he kowtowed vigorously, "Thank you, sir!"

But he was thinking in his heart, "There was nothing before, send Yang Ai there and immediately become the governor."I understand. '

Li Yunze got up and walked over, "Zhou Qing's family, it's not so easy to be my governor. I will tell you a few things. If you can do it properly, it will be no problem to enter Beijing and join the cabinet in the future. If you don't do it well."

"If it can't be done, I would like to beg for the bones." Zhou Daodeng responded loudly with an excited expression.

"What good things are you thinking about?" Li Yunze reached out and patted his shoulder, looking at his white hair, "If it doesn't work out, then I will lend you your head."

Zhou Daodeng, who was immersed in excitement, froze instantly.

Will you lose your head if you can't handle the errands?this this this
"The first thing is to check the fields in various places in the south of the Yangtze River. All matters are handled according to the model of the Xu family in Huating."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Daodeng's hands stopped shaking, his legs didn't tremble anymore, he just felt like the sky was about to collapse.

It doesn't matter if you offend a Xu family, this is the emperor's entrustment.

But if he offends many big landlords all over the south of the Yangtze River, he can still end well.

"Second thing, Ni Yuanlu is studying local students in Shaoxing Prefecture, and all students below the seventh rank will be re-employed. The selected students can only be selected from poor families. This matter will be promoted to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and you must help him handle it well. .”

Zhou Daodeng smiled wryly and shook his head, speechless.

Not to mention offending the landlords and gentry, but also offending all the subordinate officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River.

This kind of errand is really terrible.

"The third thing is to redefine commercial taxes in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, severely crack down on smuggling, rectify the city shipping department, and strictly enforce the taxation standards. The specific items will be sent to you by Wang Chengen later."

Zhou Daodeng's face was numb, he didn't want to speak or move.

He could tell that the emperor wanted to uproot the Donglin Party.

The so-called Donglin Party is a monster group that integrates officials, merchants, big landlords, famous officials and scholars.

They control money, food, public opinion, and power.Then use these to expand your own interests.

It doesn't matter whether the Ming Dynasty is alive or not, as long as it doesn't affect their interests.

As for the officials, it was Wei Zhongxian who killed the top figures of the Donglin Party before, and then Li Yunze basically wiped out the remaining bigwigs.Now only the fish that slipped through the net is left in the court, and there is the little shrimp.

The merchants here, from the salt merchants to the blood alliance case, involved many big merchants, and they couldn't make a fortune after being severely injured.

For big landlords, the Huating Xu family is the beginning, and the next step is to sweep the gentry from all over the south of the Yangtze River.

After all, it is these gentry who hold the most land in Ming Dynasty.

They don't pay taxes!
As for the famous officials, Jin Yiwei has taken down all the dancers, and the remaining ones are temporarily silent to avoid the limelight.

But it won't be let go, it's a matter of time.

The last one is also the largest scholar, Li Yunze used the opportunity to be an official below the seventh rank to win over first.

Those who are not willing to accept the emperor's olive branch and want to make trouble, it is foreseeable that they will not end well.

The most important way for the Donglin Party to obtain benefits is commercial taxation, maritime trade and smuggling.

Now Li Yunze is ordering business taxes, investigating smuggling, and the entire maritime trade is digging their roots.

Looking at all the things together, it was Li Yunze who came here to completely wipe out the Donglin Party.

"Long live."

Zhou Daodeng, who smiled wryly again and again, offered a big gift, "Minister, beg for bones."

He is very addicted to being an official, but the premise is that he has a life.

Although the Donglin Party has been severely damaged by the emperor, its strength is still not to be underestimated.It's not too difficult to kill him.

"Don't want to do it?" Li Yunze raised his eyebrows, "Okay, go out and find Luo Yangxing by yourself, keep the head, and go by yourself."

The heads are all left, so where else can I go.

"Don't be so scared." Li Yunze squatted down and patted his shoulder enthusiastically, "The Donglin Party is not as scary as you think. I have already killed their main force. You just need to mop up the tail. I will leave Cao Wen behind." Commanding the admiral to supervise Liangjiang military affairs, with a knife in hand, what are you afraid of?"

Zhou Daodeng shook his head again and again, only saying he didn't dare.

"Choose by yourself." Li Yunze simply stood up, "Should I keep the head now, or go for it? Don't even think about making trouble. If you can't finish the work within the stipulated time, Cao Wenzhao will ask you with the king's order flag." Borrow the head!"

Now that we've talked about it, what else can Zhou Daodeng do, he has no choice.

He finally understood that the emperor was using him as a saber.

If he did well, he might still survive, but if he didn't do well, neither side would let him go.

"The fourth thing is to investigate the matter of water transportation and shipping. Don't worry about this in advance, just make preliminary preparations."

Zhou Daodeng was about to cry, and even the powerful Water Transport was going to move!
Seeing Zhou Daodeng leaving tremblingly, Liu Rushi subconsciously wanted to say something nice, but she didn't know what to say.

"Go and tidy up first." Li Yunze instructed, "We will respond to heaven in two days."

"Yes."

Liu Rushi, who retreated and left, was stopped by Zhou Daodeng not long after going out.

"master?"

"Don't dare, absolutely not, I'm going to spoil the old man." Zhou Daodeng waved his hands again and again, "You can't call me like that, the girl just calls the old man by his name."

It is also impossible for Liu Rushi to really shout 'Hey, Zhou Daodeng'.

She thought for a while, then asked doubtfully, "What's the matter, Governor?"

Zhou Daodeng took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve, and handed them over respectfully, "This old man has the audacity to ask the girl to speak well in front of Long Live."

The bank notes are thick and not small in denomination.

Liu Rushi was inexplicably horrified, but also from another aspect, she deeply felt the power of the emperor.

I don't even have a title, I just followed the emperor's side as a maidservant, and then a senior official sent a silver ticket to please me, this, this, this, this...
After a brief absence, Liu Rushi's beautiful eyes gradually became firmer.

"Your Excellency." Liu Rushi shook his head resolutely, "Your Excellency is kind to me, but if you are a woman, how dare you speak falsely about state affairs. Please don't harm me, Your Excellency."

Zhou Daodeng was in a hurry, he took a step forward and wanted to put the bank note into the girl's hand, "Please help me, girl."

Liu Rushi hurriedly took two steps back, "My lord, please respect yourself!"

These words are very serious, and the nearby Jin Yiwei has already looked over.

Looking at the back of the girl who turned and left, Zhou Daodeng was dumbfounded, "The speed of changing face is too fast!" '

The next day, Li Yunze left for Yingtian Mansion.

"Xu Xianchun."

"The minister is here."

Xu Xianchun, who had been promoted to direct the affairs of Jinyiwei Capital, hurriedly rode forward, "Long live, please give orders."

"Are things all set up?"

"Back to Long live, the manpower has been deployed properly, and the hidden stake has been ambushed."

"Well done." Li Yunze nodded in satisfaction. "There is no need to worry about doing things in Jiangnan this time. Don't give them the slightest chance to fight back. Catch them if they can, sentence them if they can, and kill them if they can."

"It's not good for anyone to ask for mercy, and don't give anyone face. If you dare to resist, you can go directly to Cao Wenzhao and let him send troops to completely wipe it out."

Li Yunze took a deep breath and looked at the field after the autumn harvest in front of him, "We must wipe out all the thieves in Donglin!"

After hesitating for a while, Xu Xianchun lowered his voice, "Long live, Mr. Sun Ge is also a member of the Donglin Party."

"You have to remember one thing." Li Yunze looked at him calmly. "Who is the Donglin Party, I have the final say. Control your ambitions, and don't do things you shouldn't do in order to gain credit."

"I am frightened."

Looking at Xu Xianchun beside him, Li Yunze's heart moved slightly, and he handed out the date, "After this matter is settled, when you return to Beijing, you will be the Commander of the Jinyi Guard and the Commander of Beizhen."

Xu Xianchun was overjoyed, "Thank you for your kindness."

Looking at Luo Yangxing on the other side, Li Yunze responded seriously, "After returning to Beijing, Luo Tongzhi will study with your father for a while, and then he will take over as the commander of Jinyiwei."

Luo Yangxing, who was originally looking a little ugly, was overjoyed immediately, "Thank you for your kindness."

"The two of you will be in charge of Jinyiwei together in the future, you must cooperate sincerely and work together for me."

'giggle~~~'

Xu Xianchun and Luo Yangxing looked at each other, and at the same time grinned professionally.

That laughter was really, a little indescribable.

Galloping all the way back to Yingtian Mansion, Cao Wenzhao led the crowd to wait outside the city gate.

"Cao Qing's house, come here." Li Yunze dismounted to greet Cao Wenzhao, and the two of them walked slowly along the official road instead of entering the city.

Everyone around them gave way one after another, and no one dared to step forward and eavesdrop.

"How is the recruiting and training of the new army going?"

"Back to Long live, [-] new recruits have been recruited from all over the south of the Yangtze River, and they are undergoing strict training."

"Is there such a thing as withholding military pay and eating empty pay?"

Cao Wenzhao immediately saluted, "Long live, if there are such evil deeds in Long Xiang's army, I will commit suicide and apologize!"

Before coming to Jiangnan, Li Yunze gave Cao Wenzhao the order to expand the Longxiang Army.

Moreover, it was designated to recruit Liangjiazi in various places in the south of the Yangtze River to double the strength of the Longxiang Army.

These days, Cao Wenzhao has been busy with this matter.

With sufficient supply of food and materials, things went very smoothly.

"I believe in you."

Li Yunze raised his hand and patted Cao Wenzhao on the shoulder, "Break up the recruits and divide them into each battalion, so that the old and the new can be trained as soon as possible."

"After I return to Beijing, you will stay in the south of the Yangtze River to assist Xu Xianchun in his work. Money, grain and wealth in the south of the Yangtze River are the foundation of the imperial court. We must eliminate the Donglin thieves who are harming the country and the people."

"Minister, lead the decree. I will never fail the entrustment of Long Live."

"Ah."

Pausing in his tracks, Li Yunze looked at the city gate not far away with a complicated mood.

"Let's go, I'm going to meet those relatives."
