"Surrender without killing!" the leader roared angrily. The people who had been frightened for a long time did not even have the courage to resist. They knelt on the ground obediently and waited for defeat!
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm a good person!"
The blade was placed on Qian Henian's neck. The old boy was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy.
The old village chief didn't feel any better. This time he knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Hero, spare your life!"
"Spare your life? Go back to the Yamen and explain clearly!"
...
Zhu Jun was fishing with Li Xiangjun at this time. This woman was quite addicted to fishing. She stared at the water for half an hour without moving.
At this moment, Niu Wuliu came over and whispered something in Zhu Jun's ear.
Zhu Jun was overjoyed and nodded, "I know!"
He put down the fishing rod and said to Li Xiangjun: "I have something to take care of. You fish first. I will come to pick you up later!"
Li Xiangjun didn't follow either. She knew very well that sometimes distance is important.
Zhu Jun was very satisfied with Li Xiangjun's sensibleness. This woman was smart, considerate, considerate, and was really a good companion.
Arriving at the courtyard where he temporarily lived, Xun Busan handed over the confessions from the interrogation, "Your Highness, I asked them all. This time we caught an incredible big fish!"
Zhu Jun looked at the confession and did not expect that the head of Qianjia Village was actually the father of the Qian gangster in Ningbo Prefecture.
Not only that, but he also followed the clues and found out about the business of smuggling private salt and... the contact person in the city.
"The Wang family, the Liu family, the Zhou family...there are five big families." Zhu Jun's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Your Highness, do you need to take action?" Niu Wuliu asked.
"Let Deng Chushan take action to find out as much as possible the situation on the pirate side, and clear away the hidden dangers in Songjiang Mansion as soon as possible." Zhu Jun ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Niu Wuliu left after accepting the order.
Soon, Deng Chushan received the news. After learning about this, he was shocked and scared.
Unexpectedly, there were five rebels under his rule who were linked to pirates.
"His Royal Highness is really clever. There are indeed pirates in these villages!" Now that the person was caught, it was equivalent to the credit that was delivered to the door. Deng Chushan naturally knew what to do.
As for the evidence, it's not important, just determine their location.
"Come here, gather all the people and divide them into five groups to get people!"
Immediately afterwards, all the government servants and helpers were summoned, more than two thousand people in total.
More than two thousand people mobilized in full force and headed in five directions.
In Songjiang City, the people were shocked by this scene.
With such a big move by the prefect's Yamen, could something big happen?
They didn't know what happened until the first family was captured.
"This Wang family is a well-known good person. Why arrest them?"
"And the Zhou family, who build bridges and pave roads, are really good people!"
The people were talking a lot, and they didn't understand why these people were arrested.
Everyone shut up when they found out that the Yamen had posted official documents.
No one thought that these people were actually connected with pirates, and that they went to sea to do business and trade, smuggled sea salt, any one of them was enough to behead people and confiscate their homes. These people committed multiple crimes, so why don't they want their homes to be confiscated?
For a moment, the people who were complaining about them started shouting and cursing, "It turns out they are wolves in sheep's clothing, and they are really good at pretending!"
Zhu Jun didn't know any of this. He believed that Deng Chushan could handle this matter well.
After the collapse of these five companies, all the obstacles originally encountered in urban planning disappeared.
For this reason, Deng Chushan even came over to express his gratitude.
"Songjiang Mansion has endless potential. In my eyes, its potential is second to none, and it will become a landmark city for the great cause in the future.
You need to be a good example, and I will do everything you need to do for you.
After those five large households have been copied, the Yamen's funds should not be in short supply, right? "
"Thanks to His Highness, there is no shortage!" Deng Chushan was excited when he talked about this. More than 600,000 taels of silver were confiscated from the homes of these five wealthy families, not including the land deeds and shops.
All in all, I'm afraid it's a million taels of silver.
However, he did not dare to be tainted at all. All the account books were sent to Zhu Jun for review.
In the end, Zhu Jun asked him to keep two-thirds of the money and send the rest to the palace.
With this money, Songjiang Mansion will usher in rapid development.
"That's good!"
"By the way, Your Highness, I have divided Songjiang City into four areas according to your instructions, and two security points will be set up in each area.
Promoting the helper who made a meritorious service this time to a minor official can better maintain the security of Songjiang City! "
"Can!"
Deng Chushan reported on his work again before saying goodbye and leaving.
Zhu Jun went to the naval training base by the sea.
The naval training base is very hidden, and the area nearby has been designated as a restricted area.
Liao Wuan has been training these people in Fengyang for half a year.
However, there were very few ships for training. This time they brought over a dozen ships from Fengyang. Fortunately, Suzhou Liuhe Cao Shipyard, the largest shipyard in the country, delivered more than fifty ships. Otherwise, they could only stare blankly.
But even so, these sixty or seventy ships were not enough to accommodate the fifteen thousand people.
There are less than eight thousand-material ships, and the rest are warships with 400 materials and 200 materials.
It’s sad to think about it.
When Qibao Eunuch went to the Western Ocean, the main fleet was a large ship with two thousand materials.
He's a really bad waterman.
Fortunately, he also had a large ship with a cost of 1,500 yuan, which was enough to support the scene.
Such a large ship was probably snatched from the imperial navy.
However, this large ship with a material of 1,500 miles can only carry two to three hundred people.
These dozens of ships cannot accommodate even one-third of the people.
So Zhu Jun was also very melancholy.
We can only think of ways to get big ships from other places.
Large ships with less than a thousand materials are actually of little significance. They are generally used as auxiliary ships.
Although the thousand-material ship was already a big deal in this world, Zhu Jun's target was the Ming Dynasty in the parallel world.
It is said that when the Qibao eunuchs went to the Western Ocean, the three main ships cost 5,000 yuan.
It’s more than a hundred meters long, which is terrifying just thinking about it.
If such a giant ship sails, is that not dominating the ocean?
"Your Majesty, I am here!" After learning that Zhu Jun was coming, Liao Wuan hurried over.
"No courtesy!" Zhu Jun held up his right hand and looked at the fleet training on the sea, "In a few days, there will be several large ships with thousands of materials coming.
Before I conquer those pirates again, I will gather for you three capital ships with one thousand five hundred materials, twenty large ships with one thousand materials, thirty ships with eight hundred materials, fifty ships with four hundred materials, and the remaining one. The two hundred materials are not counted and are used for daily training. "
Liao Wu'an nodded. He only focused on training. He didn't ask how these ships came.
Since Zhu Jun said so, he must be able to do it.
"How is the Vajra slave doing after entering the water division?" Zhu Jun pursed his lips and asked, looking at the Vajra slave not far away.
