It is said that the world is so great that everything is strange.

In theory, there are many options for establishing capital in the Han and Ming dynasties. Whether it is Yingtian Prefecture, Shuntian Prefecture, or Songjiang Prefecture New City, it can be established. However, for the people, this matter is not about their own affairs.

In the court, there was no tension in this matter. On the contrary, no one even openly advised the emperor.

The voices of opposition are all brewing in secret.

The root of the matter is nothing more than the word benefit.

How much profit does a country's capital involve? Even Wu Zheng, who has been wearing a yellow robe, cannot be considered the secret.

But there are two things that Wu Zheng knew. One is that the capital must be set on the coast, because at that time, foreign enemies will most likely invade the direction of invasion in the next few hundred years. The other is that the water of Yingtian Prefecture and Shuntian Prefecture is too mixed, and it is so chaotic that it needs to push everything down and start over if you want to clean it.

So Wu Zheng has few options.

....

If Song An is just ruthless in the Ming Dynasty, then Ma Shiying is definitely ruthless in the Mid-Architect.

As soon as Ma Shiying arrived at Shuntian Mansion, the first thing he did was to post reward notices across the city.

What is the reward?

He used a large reward to motivate the people to come forward, and after the Qing army entered the city, who were in the city helped the Qing army to harm their compatriots.

This notice is correct. Whenever the lost land is recovered, the government will deal with it in this way. It will only investigate the main evil and not pursue it. In order to quickly calm the hearts of the people.

If the people want to live a peaceful life, they should not clear out those who harm the country and the people one by one, so as to avoid being retaliated in the future?

Therefore, this notice should not be outstanding.

But the problem lies in two words - heavy money.

The government issued a reward notice before, and there were a lot of money on it, such as the reward of 50 taels of silver, and the amazing ones were only three to five hundred taels, which would not be higher.

But Ma Shiying is not like this. He really spent a lot of money. If the report is valid, the bounty will be to seize three out of 100 yuan after the house property is searched. He also added a special sentence: If the reward of less than 100 taels in the end, the government will make up for it.

This is very scary. It is easy to understand how to get three out of a hundred. One hundred taels can get three taels. There is nothing to envy, and it is not enough to make the people sharpen their heads and make a complaint.

But the other way around, anyone who dares to be a traitor would not be a big man or a wealthy family. Otherwise, the Qing court would not look down on them. Therefore, it would be almost an ordinary thing to check if the family was found and the one who could not copy a million or eight hundred thousand taels was almost an ordinary thing.

You know, these were the Kyoto of two dynasties. When the King of Chuang entered the city, tens of millions of taels of silver were seized from the official palace in just a few days. So, how much reward can the person who sued is probably even more than an ordinary person dared not think about it.

Therefore, Ma Shiying's reward notice is extremely terrifying to think about it.

The most important thing is that Ma Shiying randomly took a copy from the complainant, quickly searched his house, and finally copied out more than 500,000 taels of gold and silver. Then, Ma Shiying made a big fuss and rewarded the complainant with more than 10,000 taels of reward in full view of the public. That was two chariots of silver!

In just three days, the paper handed in the yamen of the Zhaofusi has accumulated like mountains.

....

"Master Ma...what do you mean?" Song An didn't want to get involved. He was originally ordered to assist Ma Shiying, but seeing that the situation in Shuntian Mansion is now, Song An will not go down.

Song An pointed at the confession all over the house and frowned, "Mr. Ma, when you and I went north, Your Majesty repeatedly told me that this is the opportunity of the second Northern Expedition, and the people in the north should not be in chaos... Master Ma's such a big fight will arouse public anger!"

Public anger?

Yes, it’s really public anger!

The people are ignorant. This statement has been around for thousands of years and has been verified countless times.

People are like water, and the water is gentle, but the water can cause storms.

What controls water is by no means the water itself, but the wind.

Song An was indeed not wrong. Ma Shiying's unscrupulous approach would indeed cause chaos in the people of Shuntian Prefecture.

Because although Shuntian Prefecture has been restored, it is only restored. The people in the city are still those who have left some Manchu and traitors who depend on Manchu.

Do ordinary people have the idea of ​​their independence?

No!

Ordinary people still survive by relying on various aristocratic families. The meaning of the master is the meaning of the people. The people have no intention of their own. Even if there is one, it is not the turn of the people to express it, because they are not qualified!

Therefore, in the restored Shuntian Mansion, water or water, but wind may not be the wind of the Han and Ming courts, nor may it be the wind that the emperor wants!

Ma Shiying respects his deputy Song An very much.

It's not entirely because Song An controls the largest spy agency, Lin Wei, but because Song An is the emperor's childhood friend.

With Ma Shiying's decades of experience in officialdom, how could he not respect Song An?

Therefore, Ma Shiying smiled all over his face and said to Song An affectionately: "In the view of Lord Song, Your Majesty ordered you and me to go north...what is the plan?"

Song Anwei smiled and said, "Of course, the northerners took the initiative to exchange the land of Songjiang Prefecture for the land outside the pass... But what Lord Ma has done in the past few days does to His Majesty do to His Majesty... Lord Ma, what His Majesty wants is not money, but the land of Songjiang Prefecture!"

Ma Shiying nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Song followed Your Majesty for a long time, so he naturally knew very well about Your Majesty. What Mr. Song said must be right... However, Master Song knew that if more than half of the land in Songjiang Prefecture was in the hands of the northerners, who was the northerner...?"

Song An frowned and said, "Everyone north of the Yellow River can be called northerners."

"Then can Lord Song have specific goals...or can he follow the map to find a list?"

Song An was stunned, and he recalled a little, "Mr. Ma means... the people we are looking for are in the dark... But what does this have to do with the heavy reward? It's obviously like... cough..."

Song An finally didn't say the word "robbery" as he left face for Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying's heavy reward is indeed like a robbery.

The Qing army went south until Jiangnan, and most of the country was lost, and tens of millions of people lived under the rule of the Qing court. If we look at it carefully, we might be called "traitors".

But if we really divide it like this, how many people in the world are not traitors?

The people are powerless to resist and choose to swallow their anger. This naturally cannot be classified as a traitor.

After the revival of Shuntian Prefecture, Wu Zheng chose the policy of greatest politeness, because this is a sign of the success of the Northern Expedition. Since the Northern Expedition has been successful, why fight for a day and a night to identify it slowly? Just clean up and clean up, why make the city full of storms?

In addition, now that the court has decided to make a second Northern Expedition, Shuntian Prefecture has become the forefront of the war and it is too late to stabilize. How can it cause chaos in the people?
