Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 868 If they don’t kill me, I will!

No matter what period, risks and benefits coexist. The higher the risk, the greater the benefit. In this way, some people will be willing to take risks and choose to take a big chance.

Why be cautious when you can take a big chance?

For those who are greedy and fond of gambling, this is simply incomprehensible and intolerable.

If capital has a 50% profit, it will take risks; if it has a 100% profit, it will dare to trample on all human laws; if it has a 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even be hanged!
Zhejiang, and even the southeastern provinces, are in this situation today.

Boom~
It seems that even God can't stand this kind of filth and sent a rainstorm to the world. But how can this rain wash away the filth?

Southern Zhili.

Songjiang.

Prefect's Yamen.

"How ironic."

The newly appointed Songjiang prefect Yan Yingyuan stared coldly at the items on display in front of the hall, and said jokingly: "Since the Japanese pirates attacked the Zhejiang coast, the grain prices in Songjiang Prefecture and other counties have nearly tripled, and privately minted coins have appeared in the market. Salt, oil, coal, cloth and other daily necessities have all increased in price."

"Yes, the land transactions under my rule have increased dramatically, and the land price has been reduced by nearly 70% compared to before! Haha, this is not the way to eat people!!"

"And forcing women of good families into prostitution and lending money at high interest rates... Damn it! I've been an official for several years, but when I came to Songjiang Prefecture, why don't I know what an official is supposed to do?!"

Everyone standing in the hall stared at Yan Yingyuan with anger that could not be concealed. Knowing everything about Songjiang Prefecture, these officials who followed Yan Yingyuan south were all in disbelief.

This is simply too crazy!
'Who says that when scholars get angry, they are nothing?'

In this hall, Wang Zhiren, who was standing in armor, sighed in his heart when he saw this scene, "I'm afraid that Songjiang Prefecture will be flooded with blood."

"At the beginning, His Majesty asked me to hand over the affairs of the department, and I went south to Songjiang to take up the post of prefect in accordance with the imperial decree." Under Wang Zhiren's gaze, Yan Yingyuan slowly stood up.

"To be honest, I have some thoughts in my mind. After all, the latest plan of the Transportation Department involves the new official road in Northern Zhili. The new person who took over cannot understand everything. Even on the way here, I still have various concerns in my heart."

"But now, after arriving at Songjiang Prefecture, I realized how wrong I was and how wise Your Majesty is. Songjiang is about to become the Songjiang of some people!!"

"Others all call me Yan Yingyuan a lucky official and a treacherous scoundrel. Haha, I, Yan Yingyuan, will continue to be a messenger. What about you guys?"

"I am willing to share your majesty's worries! I am willing to help the court solve its problems!"

All the officials gathered in the hall, after listening to what Yan Yingyuan said, raised their hands, bowed, and shouted loudly. They were so young.

"Okay! This is what I've been waiting for!"

Yan Yingyuan slammed the table and said, "The officialdom of Songjiang Prefecture and all the counties is rotten. If this is the case, arrest all those involved. Arrest them today and execute them tomorrow!"

"Yan Futai, this is too hasty."

Wang Zhiren was shocked and without caring about anything else, he stepped forward and said to Yan Yingyuan.

"What's the matter? Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wang thinks there is a problem?" Yan Yingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Wang Zhiren.

"We can catch all the people."

Wang Zhiren's Adam's apple moved, and he faced Yan Yingyuan's gaze and said, "But they killed him without even giving him a trial. Isn't that a bit..."

"Do we still need to interrogate?"

Yan Yingyuan pointed at the various items displayed in front of the hall and asked, "Isn't this enough? In addition, before I came to Songjiang Prefecture, Japanese pirates came to disturb us, and the guards of Songjiang Prefecture actually ran away. Haha, this time I will not only arrest the local officials of Songjiang, but also the guards!"

"In one day, Vice Commander Wang commanded more than 10,000 elite soldiers. I have thought again and again, will Songjiang be in chaos because of this incident?"

As soon as Yan Yingyuan finished speaking, all the officials gathered in the hall turned their heads to look at Wang Zhiren.

As a newly promoted deputy general, he was ordered to take up the post of Songjiang Garrison Commander's Office. The office had a temporary vacancy for the commander and there was no general either, only a deputy general. He was in charge of commanding more than 10,000 elite troops to march south. Wang Zhiren knew better than anyone that this was a test from the emperor.

After taking office in Songjiang, if he can maintain the stability of Songjiang, integrate the Songjiang navy, ensure that Songjiang will not be affected by the southeast, and even help Songjiang Prefecture stabilize the place, then the general and admiral can be promoted step by step. If not, he should go home as soon as possible.

"There won't be any chaos."

Facing the gazes, Wang Zhiren's eyes became fierce, "You are just a bunch of scumbags, you can still bully people in Songjiang, but in front of my Songjiang Police Commander's Office, you are just a mob!"

"Okay, let's catch them!"

Yan Yingyuan said in a clear voice: "From today on, Songjiang Prefecture and all the counties will be placed under military control. If the chaos under the jurisdiction is not rectified, Songjiang Prefecture will not be lifted from military control."

"Maintaining order is handled by your Songjiang Police Commander's Office. Leave the rest to my Songjiang Prefectural Office. Now that we are in Songjiang, don't worry about what happens in other places. If these treacherous villains don't die, I will. It won't be long before my Songjiang Prefecture receives refugees from Zhejiang. Time waits for no one!!"

"Then I will prepare it immediately."

Wang Zhiren immediately expressed his opinion.

"Good work."

Yan Yingyuan raised his hand and bowed.

There are too many things that Yan Yingyuan needs to do, which leaves him with little time and patience to sort things out bit by bit. Since Songjiang is rotten to the core, he must cut the Gordian knot. No matter what forces or backgrounds he has, with more than 10,000 elite troops under the command of Wang Zhiren, this is the confidence of Yan Yingyuan!
"Now we divide the responsibilities."

After Wang Zhiren left, Yan Yingyuan continued, "During the period of military control in Songjiang Prefecture, you must earnestly fulfill your duties. You do not need to pay attention to anyone else's orders except those from the Songjiang Prefecture Office."

"The most urgent task right now is to stabilize grain prices, gather refugees, and check the warehouses in prefectures and counties... Tomorrow's public execution will be handled by the Songjiang Garrison Command Office. Everyone should familiarize yourself with the situation as soon as possible and clarify your responsibilities. I will give you three days. Anyone who cannot do it should leave Songjiang and return to the capital as soon as possible!"

Yan Yingyuan's words aroused the fighting spirit of everyone in the hall.

As a group of officials promoted from the departments under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, many of them started out as assistants and clerks. Only they themselves know how much hardship they have endured during this process.

At present, they left their hometowns and rushed to Songjiang from Northern Zhili. This was not only for promotion, but also to prove themselves. Even if they did not pass the imperial examination, they passed the selection of the Shaofu, and worked their way up from the bottom step by step. They were not the so-called lucky ministers in the mainstream's mouth, but they were also officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they could do something practical for the Ming Dynasty! !
