Yu Chenglong looked at them with a stern voice. "Zhongqing said that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. But look at you, everything you eat and use is the best, but why are you so shameless and shallow? Just imagine if Shandong is captured by the captives and the bandits rage all over the world, how long will your stable life last? No matter how much money you make, build more houses, and buy more land you buy, can you protect your living there? "

The hall was surprisingly quiet, only Yu Chenglong's fury echoed in the sky.

Yu Chenglong walked down and looked at the gentry sitting on the side and said, "The General Commander ordered that the grain tax be paid according to the number of land owned by the family. In order to pay less grain, you will press the land account to your own children and nephews, or even the marquis. This method is indeed smart, and the government also accepted it. But think about it yourself, is this really safe? Are you sure that your nephews and marquis will always be on the same side as you? In the future, the government will only judge according to the land certificate. If you are awarded it to your marquis, don't complain."

Yu Chenglong turned to many businessmen on the other side, "'A gentleman loves money and gets it well'. Now the commander takes out salt and iron to open up sea routes, and the way to make money is far more than before. I would like to advise you to make money you should make and pay taxes to the government. The government will protect your family wealth and the power you deserve. If you stretch your hands too long, especially if you collude with foreign enemies, it will be an unforgivable crime. Liu Qicai and Zhang Maiwen's today is your tomorrow."

Two days later, Liu Qicai and Zhang Maiwen were beheaded in the street and their property was confiscated. All other participants were used as hard labor.

Yu Chenglong turned around and turned to Huang Zongxi and said, "Taichong, my business is done, and I will leave the rest to you." After that, he walked out without looking back.

Huang Zongxi shouted and chased after him, "Bi Ming, wait, wait." Seeing that Yu Chenglong finally stopped, he gasped and said, "Bi Ming, why are you leaving so anxious? I have set up a banquet, and let's go after eating!"

Yu Chenglong looked at the direction of the hall and said in a low voice: "No, if I stay here, I'm afraid you will not be able to eat this banquet. I know myself, so I won't be a disturbing ghost. Taichong, I would like to remind you. The commander now gives you power to do it casually, and you will also make drastic reforms. But Shandong is different from the barbarian land. There are always a prosperous Confucian style, and there are many conservatives. For this reason, many eyes are staring at you! If you are not careful, you will probably be crushed to pieces. Before doing things, think more and try not to do anything that violates the rules. The law and criminal responsibility are restrictions, but sometimes it can also help you."

Huang Zongxi was silent for a while and said, "Beiming, do you think what I did was wrong?"

Yu Chenglong shook his head, "Since coming to Shandong, what you see and hear every day has been various information from Liaodong, North Korea, Japan, Ryukyu, and Southeast Asia, and his horizons have been broadened. Although Yu was dull, he could understand that China is currently at a critical moment of changes that have not been seen in a thousand years. Change must be changed, but I am worried that you will act too much and will cause trouble in the end."

Huang Zongxi smiled calmly and said, "I, Mr. Huang, are you the one who avoids disaster? Beiming, did you ever think that it would lead to revenge from Qi? If you are not afraid, why should I be afraid of coming!"

Yu Chenglong shook his head, "You and I are different. I am a fool. I have no outstanding talents and have no other skills except stubbornness and persistence. Even if I die, there will be someone who will be the leader. But you are different. You are a talented person valued by the commander. The entire reform is centered on you. If there is any mistake, the reform will probably be difficult to continue."

Hearing that Yu Chenglong praised him so much, Huang Zongxi's heart moved slightly and sighed slightly, "Thank you for the reminder of Beiming, Huang is grateful to me."

Seeing that he had reminded him, Yu Chenglong hugged Huang Zongxi and turned around and left.

Huang Zongxi stood there for a long time, and finally shook his head gently, turned around and walked back to the hall.

According to Chen Mingxia's previous suggestion, Huang Zongxi asked the merchants to leave first, leaving behind representatives of the gentry clans. After chatting about some nonsense, he asked them to leave too.

In the end, more than ten people were left, except for Chen Mingxia, Shi Shouyi, Dong Siyuan, Li Ding, Chen Huarong, Qi Ce, Qin Laoguai and others, the rest were also the giant merchants and leading squirees from Shandong.

During the meal, Huang Zongxi, Li Ding and Chen Huarong finalized the cooperation model of the three major banks, and at the same time encouraged other merchants to invest their money in shipbuilding, sea trade, and Liaodong.

I talked all night and decided a lot until it was almost dawn.

Huang Zongxi was very satisfied with the achievements he had achieved. After returning, he immediately wrote a letter to Zhou Xian to tell him about the progress of the relevant matters.

After writing, he stretched out his long and was about to have a good sleep, but suddenly there was a mixed crying sound from outside. Huang Zongxi cursed in a low voice, got up and walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw a group of 10 or 20 people gathered outside the door. He was headed by Chen Huarong and cried. Huang Zongxi was slightly stunned and quickened his pace. "Shopkeeper Chen, what's going on?"

Chen Huarong knelt on the ground crying, "Sir, you have to make the decision for us!"

Looking at Chen Huarong who was crying and could not speak at all, Huang Zongxi turned to Qi Ce, who was standing beside him, and he was familiar with him, saying, "What's going on?"

Qi Ce frowned and hesitated, "A businessman from Nanyang came to Shandong, who was an acquaintance of Zhangji Chen. He brought a message that the Heiyi encouraged local natives in Nanyang and even took action to massacre Chinese people himself. It is said that thousands of people were killed in Manila and Batavia, their family wealth was looted, and the women were sold out in the street. Zhangji Chen also had some relatives and old friends stayed in Batavia, this..."

Chen Huarong said in a crying voice: "It's all my fault. I feel that there is still an industry in Batavia and some relationships with the Heyi side, so I let them stay. Who knows,... I was the one who harmed them!"

Huang Zongxi was stunned on the spot. After a while, he asked in a deep voice: "Is this true? Why didn't the government get any relevant information?"
