After Sun Chuanting left, Chen Qiyu and others took action quickly as pressured as the mountain.

The Governor's Office quickly convened a meeting of the magistrate of the 18th Prefectures of Nanzhili. Officials such as the Supervisor's Yuan, the State Administration of Taxation, the Law Enforcement Bureau, the Price Bureau and other officials went to Yingtian Prefecture at the same time. In addition, the Nanzhili Security Department and even the Jiangsu General were invited.

This conference was a closed-door meeting, which lasted for two hours. After coming out, almost everyone looked solemn and had no smile at all.

Then, the magistrates of the 18 prefectures in Nanzhili were left in Yingtian Prefecture, and the six prefects made meritorious service, and the remaining six made swearing military orders were released. The entire Nanzhili quickly spread the rumors, and the vigorous reforms began quickly.

The alarm caused by this is naturally extraordinary. There are very few pure merchants in the Ming Dynasty. Touching merchants means touching the big landlords, who are also scholars, which means they are inseparable from institutional reform.

After going around, the reform seems complicated, but in fact the target group is always the same group of people.

Under the pressure of Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu and others gritted their teeth and began to overcome all obstacles and promote the reform plan formulated by the cabinet. For a time, the entire Nanzhili was like boiling water, and all kinds of strange things emerged one after another.

Even Zhu Xu who was staying in the Shenlong Mansion was not at peace, so Gong Yonggu came to him.

Zhu Xu still admires this brother-in-law very much and does not avoid it.

Gong Yonggu looked solemn and raised his hand, saying, "Your Majesty, the business of Shenlong Mansion has been seriously affected. Except for merchants in Nanzhili, merchants and goods from other provinces can no longer enter Shenlong Mansion. If it is delayed, all kinds of contracts will be affected. If the contract is breached, the compensation will probably exceed one million. This is still in China, Western Yi and other places, so there are more..."

Zhu Xu sat on a chair and was reading a book. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Is someone blocking the way?"

Gong Yonggu looked up at Zhu Xu, probably thinking that he didn't understand the affairs of the people, and explained seriously: "The grain tax in Nanzhili accounts for more than half of the country, the commercial tax exceeds 70%, and more than 60% of the officials in our dynasty came to the Nanzhili Gongyuan. Now the reform of Nanzhili is too great, and the entire Nanzhili is in chaos, and no one has the heart to do business anymore, which has affected all parts of the country..."

Most of the contracts of the World Trade Conference in Shenlong Mansion were completed by Nanzhili. Obviously, these people wanted to use this to threaten the court and Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu had already taken the report, and learned more about Gong Yonggu's knowledge. He put down the book in his hand and said lightly: "Who asked you to be a lobbyist?"

Gong Yonggu's face changed slightly, and he knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty forgive me!"

Zhu Xu leaned on the chair and said lightly: "You go and tell the State Administration of Commerce to add a law to impose a fine of five to ten times the transaction amount for breach of contract dishonesty, and limit business to five to ten years."

When Gong Yonggu heard this, he looked embarrassed and said, "Emperor, this will probably cause greater chaos and seriously affect the stability of Nanzhili and the taxes of the court."

Zhu Xu picked up the book casually and said indifferently: "This is not a weight for them to threaten the court and threaten me. The open ports in Guangzhou and Tianjin are ready. Tell those law-abiding merchants that their trading locations can be transferred nearby. Trade with Western barbarians can save a lot of sea routes in Guangzhou Prefecture..."

Gong Yonggu had guessed before that the action of Nanzhili was driven by Zhu Xu behind the scenes, and now it seems that it is true.

"I obey the order." Gong Yonggu said.

Zhu Xu could feel the pressure, let alone Chen Qiyu.

Officials of Yangzhou Prefecture, all the officials were dismissed from office on the grounds that "the prefect was detained by Yingtian Prefecture" and "no one was in charge of the affairs". All the shops on the street were closed, even the Qinhuai River was deserted at night.

A fire broke out in the government office in Suzhou Prefecture. The registered people's books, land books and various tax books were burned. The autumn grain that had been escorted was stopped on the official road, leaving the heavy rain to pour, and no one could rescue it.

More than 30 officials in Changzhou Prefecture who measured the land acres were woken up the next morning and found lying naked on the street. Countless people were watching. Before they could meet a group of people from the county, they were robbed by bandits on a mountain and begged to return to the mansion.

It quickly spread to Yingtian Prefecture one by one, and fell on Chen Qiyu's desk.

Chen Qiyu summoned to participate in politics and discuss the matter. The hall was filled with sanctions.

"Although it was expected, things were still going more severe than we expected." A senator shook his head helplessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Senator Qin Zhengyi snorted coldly and said, "If I had done what the court had asked many years ago, it would have been almost done today. Why would it be difficult to make people all over the world laugh at it!"

As an academic, Qin Zhengyi was very disgusted with the old-fashioned conservative officials and became angry as soon as he spoke.

Another senator shook his head and said, "What is the point of saying this now? What we need to do is to resolve the chaos outside and continue. Nanzhili must be in chaos in the world."

"Isn't it considered a disruption now? Yangzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture are already in a state of depression. I don't know how many people are writing a book to impeach us..."

"Impulse is pretty good. Now we can't even collect taxes. How many things will be delayed? If the salaries of officials cannot be paid before the end of the year, I'm afraid the chaos will be even greater!"

"There are also the things about the Shenlong Mansion. Gong's Madam Gong from the Foreign Affairs Bureau has repeatedly sent letters to us, asking us to ensure the effective implementation of these contracts, and even threatened them with blunt threats. All the losses will be borne by our governor's yamen..."

"All these are easy to say. The problem is that the officials we sent cannot enter the lower place at all. How can we complete the tasks assigned by Master Sun? If it cannot be completed, the board will definitely not be lighter..."

"Don't always say this, just say something practical, how to solve the problem?"

"Two problems, one is the problem of the new yamen, which requires the support of local officials and gentry. The second is the land issue, how to complete the land measurement and subsequent redistribution..."

"I have an idea to take this time to let these officials in the new yamen show their faces, and we will also go to the platform to let them turn the tide..."

"I don't think it's necessary. These people have no governor's yamen, no court, and no emperor in their eyes. They must be severely punished. The law enforcement bureau should be useful!"

"Yes, the Sanqian Ti Knight is in the Shenlong Mansion, starting from Yingtian Mansion! Those who make trouble, arrest, and kill them! Give me three days to guarantee that those people will never dare to jump out again!"

"Two-pronged approach, the Governor General Council will discuss first, show the advantages and disadvantages, and let them choose themselves. Let's be polite first and then soldiers, and kill these people with arrogance!"

"Can't wait! I heard that someone saw the emperor in the Shenlong Mansion. If the emperor was angry, we would wait for the third level to be demoted!"

A group of people said and said something, the "reformists" quickly gained the upper hand, and the conservatives represented by Zheng Youyuan gradually stopped.

After talking, everyone's eyes slowly focused on Chen Qiyu, waiting for his attitude.
