Without getting Chen Zhiyuan's response, Wu Zheng said a little embarrassedly: "Don't worry about anything... The most important thing for us now is to successfully enter Shuntian Mansion... preferably, we will be free from blood!"

"Can you really ignore it?" Chen Zhiyuan said coldly, "They all splashed dirty water on my head... Can you bear it, I can't bear it. If you ignore it again, let me lead my army back to Hangzhou... No need to have more, five thousand cavalry is enough!"

Wu Zheng fell silent.

It’s not that the transfer of 5,000 cavalry would affect the final battle. In fact, by this time, the troops that Jiergalang could take the initiative had been exhausted, and only the newly conquered 200,000 "new recruits" defended on the walls of Shuntian Mansion.

Even if Chen Zhiyuan took all his lancers away, it would not affect the overall situation.

Wu Zheng just didn't want to, didn't agree, didn't want to.

This is a contest for the future sharing of interests of the world. In fact, Wu Zheng does not need to participate at all.

During these six or seven years, Wu Zheng established another main class after scholars, merchants, and farmers, namely handicraftsmen and labor groups.

In the past, these two were inferior and were not popular, such as the group of millions of Weaver Girls in Jiangnan today, and the couriers who Zhang Xinxia had done before.

But as labor wages increase, the status of these people who have left the land also rises.

Although they earn as much as the Weaver Girl, they are men.

Therefore, in terms of social status, they are slightly higher than the Weaver Girls group.

Wu Zheng has always been committed to cultivating a new social class. Because he learned from history and literati ruled the country, he often ended up in the cycle of dynasty changes.

It is not that the literati class is not suitable for leading the world, but that scholars have their innate flaws, that is, talking about war on paper.

If you don’t touch the spring water, you only know how to study hard and work behind closed doors. In this way, people often don’t understand the principle that oranges grow in the south and tangerines grow in the north.

It is obvious that a good rule has become a bad rule, but it is clearly a good rule, but it becomes an evil rule.

From ancient times to the present, literati have always ruled.

Only by treating literati as senators is a blessing in the world!

This is Wu Zheng’s philosophy of governing the country.

In addition, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the budding of capitalism had already appeared on the land of China, but because the imperial court's obsceneness was not transformed, it forced private capital to be unable to raise its head.

For example, with the advent of the Age of Discovery, coastal people interacted with foreign businessmen more and more frequently, and doing business was a natural thing. However, the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban made the huge private capital in Jiangnan accumulate because of the lack of a way out. Rich people could only consume endless wealth with a luxurious life, such as Qian Qianyi's shopping in brothels and rewarding tens of taels of silver overnight. This kind of thing was commonplace in Jiangnan at that time, especially Yingtian Prefecture, and it was not surprising.

Furthermore, those who feel sorry for money directly buried the money underground, saying that it was a waste of time, but in fact, there was no place to go for money.

The reality is heartbreaking. Emperor Chongzhen imposed three taxes in the north for about 2 million taels of military pay, which caused grudges from heaven and others, but the people were too busy to spend money.

This is the consequence of the germination of capital being strangled.

Wealth needs guidance.

Wu Zheng has been working on building a new city, not because Wu Zheng is sincere in making a fortune, but guiding private capital.

The same is true for the founding of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

The original intention of revitalizing Jiangnan weaving was not entirely to liberate women, but to guide capital to establish workshops, so that the people gradually left the constraints of the land, became handicraftsmen, and cultivated a new class...the proletariat.

Wu Zheng has actually been silently paying attention to the Hangzhou Prefecture incident, but he just kept silent.

If Wu Zheng was sympathetic to Zhu Mai's death, then Huang Daozhou's suicide and Chen Zilong's punishment only made Wu Zheng feel palpitations for a moment.

These people are indeed the best among people and can be considered as upright.

However, their times have passed, and their existence will only hinder the progress of the times, because they can no longer change their worldview, and their set is outdated.

Therefore, Wu Zheng did not want to get involved. It was not that he did not care about the safety of his family and relatives and friends, but that Wu Zheng knew that with his current strength, no one, as long as he wanted to enjoy life, would dare not threaten the lives of his family or relatives and friends.

Zhu Yihai dared not, and the people hidden behind him dared not, even the Qing court, Jirgalang did not dare.

Today, Jirgalang will only use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Wu.

As long as Wu Zheng put the arrow on the forehead of the Qing court, all conspiracies were air for Wu Zheng.

The chaos in Hangzhou Prefecture seems complicated, but in the final analysis, it is a battle between the interests.

The fight between the vested interests and the new interests.

Wu Zheng has no need to get involved. Only by standing outside can you see everything clearly and be correct forever.

Wu Zheng also firmly believed that no matter how chaotic the Hangzhou Prefecture was, it would be impossible to go much further. Zhu Yihai was just a puppet, and the Qing court's fine works and secret works were not worth mentioning at all. As soon as the sun came out, everything disappeared.

But at this time, Shen Zhiyuan's harsh words made Wu Zheng hesitate.

Many words can only be thought to myself, and they cannot be said to others. If you say them, they will be insulting and dirty.

A gentleman talks about behavior, no matter where he is, it is difficult to be a human being!

"Five days!" Wu Zheng made a gesture.

"What do you mean?"

"In five days, we will attack Shuntian Mansion... I will allow you to lead troops back to Hangzhou."

Shen Zhiyuan frowned and refused to answer.

"What, I'm not sure? Then... ten days!"

Shen Zhiyuan shook his head, "It's not that I'm not sure...but, my troops are not good at siegeing the city. If I allow me to use artillery... it won't take five days... three days will be enough!"

Listen, listen, three days are enough.

Although Shen Zhiyuan was arguing with Wu in Hejian Prefecture, his cavalry and the Ruishi camp led by Chen Sheng had arrived in Baoding.

The first troops that landed in the Three Guards of Tianjin were also marching northwards without stopping.

Three days, theoretically enough!

But Wu Zheng shook his head, "No... It's a matter of victory now, so why do we have to destroy Shuntian Mansion... Such a waste of money and money will be cursed by the world... You really don't feel heartbroken if you sell your land!"

"Those ten days are not enough...I can't wait!" Shen Zhiyuan pursed his lips, "Are you not worried... little sister?"

Wu Zheng's eyes flashed and he smiled and said, "I warn you... you are already a family, don't worry about my little sister anymore... Could it be that I let my sister be a concubine?"

Shen Zhiyuan was a little sad, "I didn't mean that... I was just afraid, and I would involve my little sister again."

"You don't have to worry about this. I asked my younger sister to stay in Yingtian Mansion and let Xia Wanchun take strict supervision of his sisters... It should be impossible!"
