On seven days, Hou Xuanyan lived in the royal palace. When the gate of the royal palace opened, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

The Regent, who was recuperating at home, returned to the court. Everyone thought it was a signal to withdraw the knife, and even Zhao Yuanhua began to wait and see.

Hou Xuanyan looked around and half of the officials in the court were missing. Hou Xuanyan sat in front of the hall with a golden sword, with no expression on his face, which made people unable to guess what he was thinking.

Zhao Yuanhua didn't know that he was idle at home these days and was overworked, so he was listless. He thought in his heart that the prince was really extraordinary and killed almost all the famous families near Nanjing, and now he didn't blink. The Xu family of Hengheqiao, the Liao family of Wuxian, the Shen family of Huating, and the Sun family of Changzhou... If these families were not for Hou Xuanyan's appearance, they would have been prosperous and prosperous in the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially during the Kangxi period, these families became even more prosperous.

After saying as usual, Wang Xiangnian hurriedly wanted to leave the court. Hou Xuanyan then stood up, and the eyes of the ministers in the palace looked at him instantly.

Hou Xuanyan's eyelids drooped down and said in a deep voice: "In the previous period, the official and businessmen in Jinling colluded with each other to embezzle the national treasury and shelter tax evasion. What's even more hateful is that some people took the opportunity to create unrest and bewitch people's hearts, and the crime was not to be punished. Fortunately, Zhao Yuanhua, the Minister of Justice, enforced the law impartially, so that corrupt officials and businessmen were able to impose the law. The Jinling atmosphere was boosted, and the official and shopping malls were excited because of this. This was all Zhao Yuanhua's contribution."

Zhao Yuanhua bent down and said, "The prince is wrong, this is all the duty of the subordinates."

The civil and military officials in the palace are now all their own people, and the only few remaining fenceists are honest and waiting for death. But seeing the singing and harmony of Zhao Yuanhua played by Hou Xuan, even these people can't stand it anymore. Their face is too thick...

Hou Xuanyan cleared his throat and continued, "After this incident, I understand one thing. There are problems in the eyes of the people in Jiangnan government and people. If the rectification is not made up for it in time, there will be chaos."

The ears of the officials suddenly stood up, and the hall was silent. What does the prince mean?

Hou Xuanyan did not ask them to wait too long, and immediately said, "Liu Ting."

Liu Ting was listening to the excitement when he suddenly heard his name, and was stunned for a moment and said, "There is the official."

"I appointed you as the governor of Jiangnan, and also led the five thousand elite cavalry of Fengziying, to inspect and rectify the 11 prefectures of Zhejiang and Suzhou Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, and Huai'an Prefecture. Take Jinling as an example to correct the style of Jiangnan, rectify the administration of Jiangnan, and clear the shopping malls of Jiangnan. During this period, Liu Tingling led the commander-in-chief of Yudu, the governing and the inspector-in-chief of the three prefectures, and to control the military, political and judicial powers of various places."

When Liu Ting heard this, his heart thumped, and a drunken blush appeared on his fair face, and he bowed his order: "The emperor will never let down the prince's trust."

Hiss, the whole palace was filled with the sound of gasping for a cold air, and it turned out that Jinling was just the beginning.

If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, who would have believed that this kind of carpet-like cleaning would have spread to the entire Jiangnan.

After the scattered dynasty, Hou Xuanyan rushed to Kunning Palace and wanted to instruct spiritual medicine for the food and salary transportation of the soldiers in Peking, and also urged Yan Yingyuan to prepare and conquer Liao as soon as possible. There are also several major issues in the recovery of people's livelihood in the newly restored places in the north, such as the large pot meal policy that was temporarily implemented in the north. The court is rich and too rich now. Zhao Yuanhua's income alone in the past few days is equivalent to the treasury income of the Chongzhen Dynasty for more than ten years.

I believe that in the near future, more money will be transported from the Jiangnan prefectures. This money is enough to support the cost of levying Liao, and the remaining money is useless in the national treasury. Hou Xuanyan decided to use it for the people.

Kunning Palace is still full of yin and yang, and all women, including the little emperor.

Hou Xuanyan walked inside, unconsciously tightening her collar. The movement of the spiritual medicine biting the pen and coming into his eyes. Every time Hou Xuanyan saw it, he felt a little throbbing.

A string of pearl necklaces she brought back from Luoyang was hung on the slender and fair neck of the spiritual medicine. They were shiny and round, with a light pink arc, and each one was the size of a cherry. The spiritual energy that set off her was overflowing, and she felt refreshed at first glance.

Hou Xuanyan raised his index finger to his lips, stopped the palace maids who wanted to salute, and slowly walked behind her, and saw the spiritual medicine reviewing a memorial from Shanxi. Yang Zhan, the governor of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Sichuan, made a memorial. After Hou Xuanyan arrived in Shanxi, most of the officials selected by Shanxi were bribed by Shanxi. Yang Zhan, who heard that Jiangnan was cleaning, also wanted to make the same mistake in Shanxi.

Before the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, there were several generous businessmen in Shanxi, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa, known as a wealthy man.

Shanxi merchants occupied an important position in history. In the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi merchants became the only merchant gang that could compete with Jiangnan merchants, and even surpassed Jiangnan merchants for a time, ranking among the entire Ming Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, the reason why Shanxi and Jiangnan people were able to become two huge forces in the court was actually inseparable from the merchants behind them.

Most of the Jin officials in the court were supported and funded by Shanxi merchants or secretly bribed them. Like the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan, the routines of Shanxi merchants were exactly the same. They then turned them into their mouthpieces, hands, feet, and minions in the court. The power of Shanxi merchants in the court and the corruption of the border troops made them more and more courageous.

At the beginning, these Shanxi merchants were doing regular arms transactions, responsible for providing supplies to the Ming army on the border, and became rich as a result.

However, although the Ming border troops were more powerful than the central troops, the equipment was replaced very slowly. The purchasing power of these poor soldiers and the poor court behind them could no longer be that the Manchu Shanxi merchants were eager for money, so they found the Manchu Jiannu.

The Manchu Jiannu, who lacked weapons and supplies, immediately became a group of Shanxi merchants as if they had seen their relatives. They exchanged the gold, silver and treasures they robbed when they entered the pass and fought for the iron, arms, military industry, materials, food, and even intelligence in the hands of Shanxi merchants.

After Dorgon entered the pass, he immediately named them the Eight Great Imperial Merchants, which shows how grateful they were to these good people who helped in time.

As a descendant of the Han people, he did not value the survival of the Han people, but only cared about the private interests of his family. Since ancient times, he has forgotten the righteousness for small profits.

"This can be correct," Hou Xuanyan said suddenly. The eight traitors and imperial merchants were also notorious in later generations, and almost everyone knew the glorious deeds of bastards.

The spiritual medicine was so scared that it was shocked. When he looked back, he covered his chest and said coquettishly: "Master, why are you here? You even sneaked behind someone to scare people."

Hou Xuanyan sat in front of her table, and the small stool was squeaking by him. Lingyao's body was slender and slim. Her chair was specially asked for by herself. Hou Xuanyan sat up sideways, supported it with only one leg, and used her butt to play around. Lingyao bit her lip beads and looked at her chair with heartache, not daring to speak out.

Hou Xuanyan picked up the cinnabar pen and wrote: Yang Zhan can make decisions on his own for all matters in Shanxi.

Ling Yao frowned and said, "Master, you have delegated power too much. Sichuan soldiers have more than 100,000."

Hou Xuanyan put down his pen and pondered: "What should I do if you see?"
