Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 278 Jia Qi wants to control Jiangnan

"You can start now."

As his indifferent voice came, a large number of people suddenly rushed out of some rooms outside the Lin Mansion and inside the manor.

The man in black who had already jumped up from the city wall was about to take action when he was surrounded by a group of people who suddenly appeared.

He immediately knew that they had fallen into a trap and quickly wanted to retreat.

"We're in an ambush, everyone needs to retreat quickly."

It's a pity that he was easily taken down as soon as he said this. Others who wanted to leave were either knocked unconscious or had a sword held at their necks, and they didn't dare to move even if they wanted to.

In just a few moments, hundreds of people who jumped on the wall were taken down. Outside the wall, the sound of weapons clashing only lasted for a few periods, and then calmed down.

Only then did two people walk in and salute respectfully.

"Sir, there are more than 1000 men in black who came this time, and they have all been captured."

Jia Qi laughed loudly.

"Okay, now that the person has been caught, it's up to you to find out who are the people behind them, and then follow the clues and arrest all the people involved in this matter. It's time to raid the house. Don’t let anyone go.”

Jia Qi is not willing to talk nonsense with them now.

We really have to defeat them one by one, but I don’t know how long it will take, so it would be easier to just kill them all.

That's when the plan was made.

Now it seems that the plan is very successful.

After these people exited, Lin Daiyu said with a look of amazement.

"I didn't expect that my second brother was already prepared."

Jia Qi said with a smile still on his face.

"That's natural. His Majesty Nan gave me great rights this time, and also sent many people here."

"The purpose is to solve the problem in Jiangnan at once, because solving the problem here will bring tens of millions of taels of silver revenue to the national treasury every year."

"This is not only my preparation, but also our Emperor's preparation."

"After they are all dealt with, they can return to the capital. But after returning to the capital this time, you can return to your Lin family's main residence in the capital."

"I think about it, old lady. It's impossible to control your family."

Lin Daiyu snorted playfully before saying.

"Now that we know our ancestor's purpose, we can't be manipulated by him no matter what. Even Sister Yingchun and our ancestors can't manipulate it easily."

"After I go back, I must cooperate with them to develop the women's design as soon as possible. I want to provide a guarantee for all the women in the back house, and I cannot let them be easily calculated."

Jia Qi really didn't expect that Lin Daiyu had such a big ambition!

Although he wanted to give them fairness, Jia Qi didn't know whether he could do it.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's attitude, it was really possible to succeed, so he said with a smile.

"I support you. Whether you need people or money, I can help you. But to what extent you can do it depends on you."

"Of course, if your sister Yingchun and the others' problems are really unsolvable, I will help you solve them, so you don't have to worry too much."

Lin Daiyu shook her head when she heard this. "Second brother said before that sister Yingchun's matter is the first task of our women's club. I will definitely handle this matter for her."

"I won't ask you for help unless I have to."

"Second brother, there should be a lot of things to do next, so you don't have to stay here with the little girl. The little girl also has to go back to study. How can we ensure that Sister Yingchun's affairs are foolproof?"

Jia Qi did not delay and said goodbye to Lin Daiyu with a smile.

After walking out, he went directly to the newly built Five Cities Military and Horse Division.

As soon as I entered here, I saw a group of people pressing in a group of men, women, and children.

The person who is the leader. Come and report as soon as possible.

"Sir, these are members of the Zhang family, one of the top ten salt merchants."

"This time, there are 13 forces that sent people to deal with the young master. The masterminds behind 11 of them have been found, while the other two are still being interrogated whether they are alive or dead."

"People have been sent to search the homes of the 11 exposed families. This is the third family. People from other families will be sent here one after another."

"At the same time, our people are also vigorously investigating. Now, there are at least hundreds of people in Jiangnan officialdom who are involved in this matter, with different positions."

Jia Qi was not surprised, but asked directly.

"How much control do our people have now?"

The man looked around. Because there were people moving around, he didn't say anything. Instead, he led Jia Qi into the room and then said.

"Sir, at present, we have been deployed in Jiangnan for a long time, but in the officialdom, we only have people in the middle and low-level positions."

"However, through this incident, we have introduced many temporary or non-staff personnel into the government."

"Similarly, most of the gangs in Jiangnan have been basically controlled. The remaining gangs, such as the Salt Gang and the Chao Gang, have not yet been fully controlled and are also infiltrating."

"But when this purge is completed, the top leaders of these major forces will inevitably be involved. When they are all wiped out, these major gangs will also come under the control of the young master."

"As for the major salt merchants, except for one who has defected to the young master, there are more than ten salt merchants who have also made it clear that they want to defect to Wage, and they have been taken advantage of, so it is impossible to betray."

"At the same time, our own people have also developed dozens of small salt merchants through connections. As long as we give them a chance, we can slowly squeeze out all these salt merchants."

"In two or three years at most, this land south of the Yangtze River will become the master's possession."

Jia Qi said with satisfaction.

"It's done well. I think it won't be long before I leave Jiangnan and return to the city of Shenjing. You can operate my business slowly and don't reduce the salt tax you should pay."

"Let our Emperor feel that you are all loyal to him."

"At the same time, we will improve the sea salt drying method I gave you, and then let our people sell the sea salt to surrounding countries and remote areas. This will bring us income several times higher than the salt tax. "

"It's not a loss to buy Jiangnan with more than 1000 million taels of silver per year."

At this point, he had basically settled the matter on Jiangnan's side, but there was no information about the thing he was most concerned about, so he asked directly.

"When you went to arrest people, no one put up any strong resistance, or didn't anything strange happen?"

Jia Qi's question immediately reminded his men of what had just happened, and they quickly spoke.
