All the magistrates of Xuanzhou, Shezhou, Chizhou, Raozhou, Taipingzhou, Xinzhou, and Jiangzhou sat on both sides, as well as Yang Bangyi, who was temporarily appointed as the magistrate of Jiangning Prefecture.

In addition, Li Guang, the former transfer envoy to Huaixi, is also here. He will soon assume the post of chief envoy to Jiangdong and will be fully responsible for the implementation of the New Deal.

Not long after, Qin Hui came.

Everyone stood up quickly and saluted, saying, "I have met Mr. Qin."

"Sit down, everyone, please take a seat."

Qin Hui was very polite.

Everyone sat down.

Qin Hui glanced around and said: "What I brought from the capital is Mengding tea from Shu. Please try it."

Everyone drank tea politely.

Then they immediately felt as if they were drinking the best tea in the world, and they all exclaimed: "Good tea! Good tea!"

Li Bing, the magistrate of Xuanzhou, said: "Xianggong Qin called us here. What is the matter?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Qin Hui, looking at him nervously.

Everyone knows that the situation in Jiangdong is extremely tense now. Zongze issued new political orders here, which have already been sent to all states. Another rebellion broke out in Jiangning Mansion, which made people panic.

"Actually, it's not a big deal." Qin Hui said with a smile, "I just want to ask you, this new policy has been promulgated in Jiangdong, how is the public reaction?"

Wang Changgui, the magistrate of Chizhou, said: "Qin Xianggong doesn't know what he is doing. This new policy has aroused great resistance, especially from the local landlords and gentry. They have already begun to make preparations!"

Li He, the magistrate of Raozhou, said: "Xianggong Qin, people in Jiangdong are now unstable, so we need to be cautious when implementing this new policy!"

Taiping Prefecture Governor Zhou Zhi said: "Qin Xianggong, if the new policy continues to be implemented, it will inevitably cause greater chaos. Jiangning Mansion has just calmed down. If other states are in chaos, they will not be able to explain to the court!"

"Yes! I can't explain it to the court!"

"Mr. Qin, why don't we stabilize things first?"

"Zongze is a member of the Military and Political Council. How can he arbitrarily promulgate new policies in Jiangdong? This is arrogance!"

"Xianggong Qin..."

Qin Hui was not in a hurry, he just looked at these people with a smile.

In fact, Qin Hui doesn't want to come to the south to deal with these things. These things are offensive to others, and he will try not to do them now.

But Zhao Guan's family just asked him to come, and he had to come.

Yang Bangyi, the governor of Jiangning Prefecture, slammed the table angrily and shouted: "Everyone! The implementation of the New Deal is what the people want! How could there be chaos!"

Li Guang glanced at Yang Bangyi and said that Yang Bangyi was beaten in the Jiangning Mansion incident because of his upright character. It seemed true.

Wang Changgui, the magistrate of Chizhou, retorted: "But now countless people are opposed. If we push forward forcefully, it will only lead to more chaos. Could it be that the imperial court wants to bring chaos to all of Jiangdong?"

"That's right! Aren't there many people in Jiangning Mansion who are opposing it now? I heard that the big landowners are unwilling to accept the New Deal. If you don't consider their opinions, how can you get them to pay for bridges wherever they need to be built in the future?"

"Local officials need to rely on these landlords and gentry to govern the local area. How can we govern the local area without their support?"

Yang Bangyi said: "Now there are town supervisors, court officials have been restructured, official schools and universities have been set up, and talents from all walks of life are cultivated. Why do we need landlords!"

"Nonsense!"

"Prefect Yang, don't talk nonsense about these irrelevant things."

"that is!"

"..."

Everyone is talking to each other, obviously they are preparing to fight to the end today.

If we kill them, there will not be enough manpower to fill them for a while. Even if there are, the new ones will not be familiar with the local area and still need to get used to it.

Qin Hui said: "Everyone, be quiet."

Then everyone slowly became quiet.

"Li Buzheng, Governor Yang, you two go out first. I have something to discuss with them."

Yang Bangyi was about to speak when he was pulled out by Li Guang who stood up: "Prefect Yang, I heard that your calligraphy and painting are good. I have long wanted to take a look. Can you lead the way?"

"this……"

"this way please."

Li Guang and Yang Bangyi went out.

Everyone was wondering, what was going on that made Yang Bangyi and Li Guang evade?

"I have something to say, please listen carefully." Qin Hui said, "Lu Yi incited the local gentry to besiege the prefect's Yamen and rebel. Do you all know it?"

Everyone nodded.

Qin Hui said: "Lu Yi has a confession here. The content in it is very clear and relevant to all of you."

Everyone's expressions changed greatly, and when they were about to speak, they were interrupted by Qin Hui, who said: "Lu Yi conspired to rebel, and everyone in the court was furious. Everyone wanted to execute Lu Yi and his accomplices, and no one who was related could escape.

This is public outrage, do you know the pros and cons?"

Wang Changgui said quickly: "Qin Hui, this official position has nothing to do with Lu Yi..."

Qin Hui continued: "As long as I send this confession to Tokyo, I am afraid that none of you will survive."

Everyone's face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

"Rebellion is a serious crime, and the accomplices in the rebellion will also be punished!" Qin Hui said lightly, "But I can point out a way for you to survive."

Everyone hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please Qin Xianggong make the decision for us."

"It's very simple. When the New Deal is implemented, no matter how opposed it is by the local landlords and gentry, if it is strictly implemented, as long as you can complete the tasks, not only will you not be punished, but you will also be promoted."

Everyone immediately looked at each other.

Isn't this Qin Hui threatening us?

Qin Hui added: "It doesn't matter if you think I'm threatening you. The opportunity is here. It's up to you how you choose."

Li He asked: "What if the local landowners object?"

"Then it depends on your abilities. Mr. Zong is rectifying the military affairs in Jiangdong. You also have native troops and archers in your own state. It depends on how you can flexibly deploy them."

Looking at the silent crowd, Qin Hui said: "Why? Not willing?"

Li He asked again: "If there is a conflict..."

"That is to defy the imperial court and slander His Majesty, and you will be beheaded. Do you understand?" Qin Hui's tone was very gentle, "Whether to kill their heads or yours, it's up to you."

Everyone was silent for a while, and Qin Hui muttered: "Beheading people and ransacking homes, some money can be used to reward the people below. This is understandable."

Li He then said: "Qin Xianggong is right, this new policy is a benevolent policy! We should implement the new policy, and whoever obstructs it at the local level will naturally be dealt with according to the king's law!"

Others seemed to finally realize it, and quickly said: "Yes, yes! The New Deal is a benevolent policy!"

"That's what you guys should do?" Qin Hui sighed, "I'm waiting for good news from you all."

During the Jiangdong turmoil, it was not until Qin Hui arrived that the conflict really broke out to its extreme.

On August 9, Jiangning Mansion released a list of people related to Lu Yi's rebellion.

Note that it is a related person.

In other words, anyone who has had any beneficial dealings with Lu Yi will be investigated.

The first people to be involved, besides Lu Yi's family, were the landlords and wealthy businessmen of Jiangning Mansion who had given Lu Yi many gifts.

That day, the heads of twenty-three large families were arrested!

With Qin Hui here, the interrogation process became very efficient.

On the tenth day of August, all these people were defined as rebels and rebels. They were executed on the same day, and their heads were hung on the city wall for public display.

The blood stained the bottom of the tower red and gathered in the low-lying areas.

Teams of government officials and local inspections were conducted, and all the Turkish troops were mobilized and began to ransack homes.

All the family members were also arrested, and the total number of people involved was as high as 5,000!

Total assets may be in the millions.

And the bloody storm in Jiangdong has just begun.

Entering mid-August, voices of resistance to the New Deal rose in various places, and Jiangdong's autumn tax came to an end.
Chapter completed!
