This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 644
After taking down Pei Mo and others, Li Chengqian also heaved a sigh of relief.

It's not that he must kill the donkey, but that the current Daming cannot escape his control.

What's more, what Pei Mo and these guys have done in the past few years is also unacceptable to him.

Taking this opportunity, it is also necessary to clean up the six cities in the entire grassland.

As for who will replace Pei Mo and the others, Li Chengqian actually had an idea already.

No, many students from Daming Academy have graduated this year, and it's time to give them a chance to show off.

Especially now that the infrastructure construction in the six grassland cities has been completed, it would not be a big problem for them to take over at this time.

Even if something really went wrong, Li Chengqian could solve it. The key point is that these fledgling students really need an opportunity to experience themselves.

As for Pei Mo and the others, Li Chengqian was not too worried.

So what if they have been operating in the Six Cities of the Prairie for a long time?

If the people's support is not with them, they can't do anything.

The reason why Li Chengqian was so cautious was that, to put it bluntly, he didn't want to make the officials of Daming feel sad.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he has not punished officials on a large scale.

This is actually not good, because after a long time, everyone will gradually get used to Li Chengqian like this. Once he starts to change, even if it is very small, everyone will not adapt to it, and even be afraid.

This is actually not a good thing for Daming's system.

However, if Li Chengqian could be reasonable and well-founded, no one would have much idea.

Just like this time to deal with Pei Mo and the others, Li Chengqian can clearly suppress them forcefully, but he still needs to get real data to make them speechless.

Of course, this is also Li Chengqian's preparation for the future.

A king can be a good man, but not just a good man.

Li Chengqian has been slowly changing his style recently, and this signal has been there since the first operation against Yi Yuanzhen.

He wants the Ming officials to slowly adapt to this rhythm.

As for why he didn't do this before, in the final analysis, Daming was still in the stage of employing people, and he had to endure a little bit.

Of course it is different now.

After dealing with Pei Mo and others, Li Chengqian looked at the people in charge of the workshop, sighed after a while, and said, "It's been hard work for you these years, and you were able to get the grassland six It is indeed not easy for the city to develop to where it is today."

Li Chengqian has never had the habit of denying other people's achievements, and the distinction between rewards and punishments is also the biggest impression he left on everyone, and this is the only reason why everyone is willing to do things with him.

When the people in charge heard the words, they immediately felt that the hardships they had suffered all these years were nothing.

Of course, the reason why these people have been able to persist in the past few years is because they know Li Chengqian's character, so they have already expected this day.

Speaking of which, these guys are not good things. In fact, if they had reported to Li Chengqian earlier, Pei Mo and the others would not have made it this far.

But they hope that they will be forced as hard as possible. When Li Chengqian finds out, it will make it even more difficult for them over the years.

"Your Highness is serious." Immediately, someone came out and said sincerely, "Although we are just a merchant, we were appointed by His Highness. It was His Highness who told you, so don’t dare to disobey.”

Li Chengqian nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't hide your little thoughts, you probably know better than this king what is going on with my Daming.

Over the years, each of your families has children who have entered the school. Speaking of which, the seniors who will soon come to govern the six cities of the grassland are the seniors of the children of each family. Do you know what to do? "

For these merchants, Li Chengqian felt that it was necessary to beat them one or two, otherwise they, old foxes, really wanted to solve some problems for those fledgling guys, and I don't know what would happen!As for the fact that they dug holes for Pei Mo and others, he didn't care about that.

People like Pei Mo are not his direct descendants to begin with, so why should they suffer a little loss?
Just gave him an excuse to clean up the crowd.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will naturally understand this truth."

Li Chengqian nodded, and stopped talking, they are all smart people.

……

At this time, in the prison.

Pei Mo squatted in the corner in frustration.

Although Pei Mo has selfish motives of one kind or another, he is also an upright person.At this moment, what he was thinking about was not that he was in jail, but whether he had really done something wrong over the years.

As a gentleman, just bully others!
The reason why he has such confidence is not because he has always felt that he has never harmed Daming's interests.

But now Li Chengqian told him that it was because of the inaction of these people that Daming lost hundreds of thousands of coins, and he couldn't accept it all at once.

Of course, as a senior official of the Ming Dynasty, he would naturally not be locked up with others.

Even his subordinates are all in single rooms.

Li Chengqian did not deliberately detain them separately.

At this moment, someone grabbed the wooden fence of the cell with a confused look on his face and asked, "Sheriff, did we really do something wrong?"

They are still young, and although they are very selfish, they are new to officialdom and really want to show their ambitions. If they have not been corroded by officialdom, they are actually not that bad!
"Yeah? Are we really wrong?" Upon hearing this, someone immediately echoed.

But Pei Mo has been speechless?
Is it wrong?
he does not know.

If it is as Li Chengqian said that Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses because of them, then they are really wrong, even outrageously wrong!
After all, although Daming is now on the right track, it still needs a lot of money and food for development.

"Hmph, it's just a one-sided story!" At this moment, someone said disdainfully, "Those merchants' upper lip touches their lower lip, and it's hundreds of thousands?

What, as much as they say?

Why? "

"Exactly!" Upon hearing this, someone immediately echoed, "Hundreds of thousands, how can they earn so much with just a few small workshops?"

"absurd……"

These words immediately gained the support of the crowd.

As scholars, they think highly of themselves, but they really don’t understand how to do business.

Although the Six Prairie Cities have gradually prospered through commerce over the years, they only regard commerce as a tool but have never seriously understood it.

Of course, it's not just them. Under the premise that everything is low-grade, and only high-level studies are good, if it is really impossible, who would condescend to condescend?
"Chief, do you want to think of a way?" Just when everyone was filled with indignation, someone whispered, "Your Highness must have been deceived by those despicable merchants. We can't just sit back and wait for death?"

Pei Mo, who had been silent, shook his head in disappointment when he heard this.

When these people said this just now, he was actually not idle.

Although they may not believe it all, their suppression of merchants in the six cities of the grassland these years must have caused some losses to Daming.

At most, it's just a numerical difference.

Although he was stubborn, he did not deny it.

Looking at these stubborn guys, Pei Mo waved his hands and said, "If you are wrong, you are wrong. Besides, now that we are in jail, what else can we think of?"

"Yes." Someone immediately said, "We have also supported many people in the six cities of the prairie over the years, and His Highness just arrested us this time. Aren't all the natives of the six cities of the prairie still outside? His Highness is still afraid of them, as long as they help us create momentum outside, His Highness will probably compromise, right?"

"That's right, that's a good idea." After the man finished speaking, someone else spoke up.

Pei Mo didn't say any more, just listened to the discussion of these people, and some even asked the jailer to spread the news to the outside.

At the same time, the people and merchants in the six cities of the prairie got the news that Pei Mo and others were imprisoned, but it did not cause much commotion.

At most, it just became a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner.

Even those who were supported by Pei Mo and others didn't think much about it when they heard this.

After the news of the prison came out, everyone just smiled, and then formed a team to find Li Chengqian.

What kind of support, hehe...

They are grateful for the support of Pei Mo and others over the years, but they can never forget who gave them the life they have today!
　I'm sorry, I was hospitalized for a period of time due to liver hemorrhage. I just got out of the hospital two days ago and said that the update was resumed, but I still haven't updated it. I'm really ashamed.

　　Don't worry, the book will not be a eunuch, and it will resume updating in the past two days.

　　Well, off topic, stay up late, especially if you stay up late and drink less ice...
