After taking down Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Wang Xuan, he was completely relieved. He once again focused on large-scale construction. To be honest, his power is still too small now!

Even though everyone is called a wealthy family, they are just a wealthy family in Fujian. There is no difference between them and the real wealthy families of the Ming Dynasty. This is the difference between the foot of Mount Tai and the top of Mount Tai.

In Jiangnan, the wealthy families from Liangjiang and Huguang are the real wealthy families!

According to the information Wang Xuan collected during this period, saying that Jiangnan belongs to the Ming Dynasty is actually a bit flattering...

The five major families of Gao, Xu, Qian, Gu, and Tang are all rooted in the south of the Yangtze River and occupy one area. Silkworms, textile industry, mining, shipbuilding industry, grain, porcelain, salt, tea, medicinal materials, etc. are all controlled by these big families.

The clan controls it.

(Tang Binyin, Gu Xiancheng, Xu Jie, Gao Panlong, Qian Yiben, outstanding figures from major families)

These large families are often worth millions, their mansions are as lavish as the royal family, and their lavishness is even greater than that of the royal family.

During the Ming Dynasty, the main production area of ​​grain in the country was in the Huguang area, and Huguang had the reputation of being well versed in the world. The large families that controlled the Huguang area often owned thousands of hectares of fertile land, had tens of thousands of tenants and servants, supported a large number of scholars, and supported the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee.

Spokesperson, controlled local government affairs, and eventually various parties gradually became involved in endless disputes.

Zhejiang Party, Chu Party, Kun Party, Xuan Party, Qi Party.

The imperial court had nothing to do with these big families. If nothing else, the big families in Huguang did not need to rebel. They only had to reduce production for half a year. How many people would starve to death in the entire Ming Dynasty, and the world would be in chaos.

In the south of the Yangtze River, it was difficult for the imperial government to issue decrees to local areas, and it became a trend that could not be lost.

If it weren't for the fact that Nanjing was located in the heart of Jiangnan, and there were nobles who had stayed with the country for hundreds of years, what would Jiangnan be like?

Salt and iron are said to be a national monopoly, but in fact they are firmly controlled by the big salt merchants in Lianghuai. There is a fixed amount for how much they produce, sell and turn over every year. There are countless official families who are sucking blood on this line.

Since the mid-Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan has been basically out of control. The registered arable land has been decreasing year after year, but the actual cultivated land has more than doubled. The salt tax has also been lower than every year, and the collected land is less than one tenth.

Whenever the emperor mentioned the investigation of land, salt tax, and mineral tax, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and scholars all over the world shouted that the emperor was cowardly and was fighting for profits for the people.

During Zhu Houzhao's period, he appointed the eunuch Liu Jin to establish the emperor, with all the power over the world. Although he maintained the government and persecuted many people, it would be nonsense to say that he only persecuted loyal and good people...

He sent local mine supervisors, tax supervisors, and salt and iron supervisors to conduct strict inspections in the Jiangnan area, causing countless fat-headed officials lying on the line to suffer heavy losses until they were dismissed from office and beheaded.

Later, Liu Jin sent people to conduct a strict inspection of the country's land, and increased taxes for the Ming Dynasty by an unknown amount, thus continuing the country's rule.

But at the same time, Liu Jin also offended the non-taxpaying scholars all over the world and the wealthy officials and businessmen in Jiangnan because of these series of supervisory actions, until finally touching the interests of all the big clans in Jiangnan.

Under the impetus of these people, people all over the world were criticizing Liu Jin, criticizing him with words and writings, and so on.

When Liu Jin is mentioned, he is the number one sinner in the world. He competes for the people's support and anointment, and all the people in the world want to cut him into pieces!

Until the end, King Anhua rebelled. During this period, many scholars went in and out of Prince Anhua's residence, and Sun Jingwen was the leader. Finally, he launched a rebellion under the banner of killing Liu Jin and Qing Jun.

It was not until Zhu Houzhao was finally forced to issue an order to kill Liu Jin that everything was over.

The funniest thing is that weapons, armor, yellow robes, jade seals and other items were found in Liu Jin's mansion. A man without eggs would rebel, and he wanted to rebel and become the emperor. This is the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Who the hell is he passing the throne to?

Will the next eunuch succeed?

This is just a slap in Zhu Houzhao’s face and a mockery of Zhu Houzhao’s IQ!

Even though Zhu Houzhao knew that these were all nonsense, there was nothing he could do about it. The world was in turmoil. If he didn't want to force Jiangnan to rebel, he would have to compromise if someone wanted to abolish the establishment.

After that, Zhu Houcheng had no military power in his hands and it was impossible to check and balance these civil servants. So he made himself a general in a ridiculous name and tried to regain control of the military power. For this reason, he walked out of the leopard room and settled in Datong.

An important military town, trying to gather military power to turn things around.

Just after he took control of the military, he went to the south of the Yangtze River in an attempt to revive the imperial court's rule over the south of the Yangtze River. Suddenly, he fell into the river in Qingjiangpu, Jiangsu, and was immediately infected with the cold. At this point, he did not even have a chance to see his confidants, and was captured all the way.

He was escorted to the capital and died of illness immediately at the age of thirty-one.

In the Ming Dynasty, not one or two emperors died inexplicably.

In fact, although Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian and others were indeed treacherous ministers, it would be too one-sided to say that they had no contribution to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

The biggest example is that during the Chongzhen period, Wei Zhongxian was killed as soon as he came to power. After that, the court's income went from bad to worse, and the frontier army's waste increased day by day. Finally, Chongzhen realized the benefits of eunuchs and once again used mine supervisors and tax supervisors, but it was too late.

What is now before Wang Xuan is to manage Fujian as an iron bucket, and Wang Xuan's starting point is salt, iron, and sugar.

These three are hugely profitable industries and can form their own industrial chains. They are very suitable for Wang Xuan to win over all parties. Once he is allowed to start these three industries in Fujian, he will be responsible for all major matters in Fujian.
