Lin Run and his 1,000 soldiers returned to Suzhou by boat from Huating in three days.

As the fleet sailed along the Wusong River through Kunshan, he saw that Kunnan had come back to life. The fields and roadside roads are full of people busy dredging and filling in pits and dredging ditches.

Far away, he could hear the laughter of the people as they worked.

It seems that Kunshan has completely changed.

Lin Run nodded with deep satisfaction, at this time he firmly believed that in a few years, Kunshan would be able to throw the hat of 'beggar county' into the Wusong River and rush down the river to the East China Sea.

He really wanted someone to call Zhao Shouzheng and have a good chat with the incomprehensible champion Lang.

Even if there is no nutritious chatter, it can help Lin Zhongcheng relieve his depressed mood.

Ever since he received the news of the civil unrest in Suzhou, he has been in a bad mood.

It's not because of the Xu family's revenge...... Lin Zhongcheng picked Yan Shifan with a gun and slashed Yan Maoqing with a knife, and he has never been afraid of anyone.

He was worried about the real cause of the civil unrest in Suzhou, the operation of the silk weaving industry, and there was a big problem. Silk was seriously unsalable, textile factories were suspended, and 200,000 textile workers were unable to work, which was the root cause of the unrest.

And the Xu family is just pushing the boat down the river and fanning the flames.

But that's where the tricky part becomes.

He can be desperate to abolish the Xu family, and he can even use force to suppress the riots. But if the fundamental problem is not solved, this will only provoke deeper resentment among the people, and the next time there is any reason, more serious and large-scale riots will erupt.

But he is a governor and not a god, how to help the silk merchants in Suzhou solve the problem of sales?

The Dongting merchant helpers have a backlog of more than one million silks, right? That's more than three million taels of silver. Who can eat it?

What's more, even if he can conjure up so much money and digest the inventory of silk in the hands of the merchants, he will still cure the symptoms but not the root cause.

Silk merchants may have to resume production due to pressure, but they will definitely have to cut orders next year.

At that time, the weavers will definitely reduce production on a large scale, and the weavers who are unemployed again are afraid that they will be on the streets again......

A huge sense of powerlessness shrouded Lin Zhongcheng's heart, and a strange thought surged in his heart-these fools of the Nine Families, who didn't do a good job of smuggling, but they hit their brains. As a result, the people are miserable, and they are really stupid.

~~

In his thoughts, the governor's boat gradually sailed away from Kunshan and entered the Wuxian River.

Lin Run called Tian Boguang, who traveled thousands of miles alone...... Oh no, Matsue Tong sentenced Tian Baiguang. Let him immediately go to Xishan to give an order, and order Cai Guoxi to wait for him at the mouth of the Xu River by boat.

Tian Baiguang hurriedly took the order and left, and met Zhang Jiong, the general judge of Suzhou, who was also suffering a hard life.

The general judgment saw the general judgment, and the eyes were full of tears. You said that our two six-rank officials are two levels higher than the county master, why did we become errands?

After sighing, the two communicated with each other.

Zhang Tongju was ordered to greet the governor. He said that Cai Zhifu and others had been waiting at the Guanyin Temple pier early on, and asked if he would like to ask Zhongcheng to go to the island to rest first, and then talk after listening to the report?

Tian Tongju told him that Zhongcheng was in a bad mood, so he should not make any extraneous branches. Hurry up and follow the order and let Governor Cai go to Xujiangkou and wait.

Zhang Tongju had no choice but to turn back, and the two went back to their respective lives.

In the meantime, Lin Run's boat passed through the Dongshan Waterway and headed for the mouth of the Xu River.

Looking at the tall chimneys on Xishan Island from afar, there seem to be a few more. Lin Run couldn't help but secretly calculate that Jiangnan Company's cement output was about to go to a higher level again.

I heard that Zhao Hao went to Chongming a few days ago, so it should be the next target of Jiangnan Company, right?

Lin Run sighed secretly, this Jiangnan company is really a personality, specializing in finding the poorest counties that need them the most.

Only in this way made him difficult to beat - people are contributing to the construction of the poorest place in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have not earned a penny until now, how can he, the governor, pick his nose and pick his eyes, it is really unreasonable.

What's more, now is not the time to worry about Jiangnan Company. In the current situation, this company, which has only been established for three months, is not a long-term worry, but a hidden worry.

~~

An hour later, the fleet of the Governor of Ying Tian and the ship of the Suzhou prefect converged at the mouth of the Xu River.

Cai Zhifu led a group of Zuo Er and boarded the ship of Lord Zhongcheng.

I saw Lin Zhongcheng standing on the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, looking at the smoke column rising in Suzhou City in the distance.

Cai Guoxi appeared full of shame, and hurriedly led the crowd to kneel on the deck to plead guilty.

Lin Run didn't look back, just continued to look ahead.

Cai Zhifu and the others had to kneel there quietly, not daring to breathe.

After a long time, Fang heard Lin Run sigh, turned his head to look at Cai Guoxi and said, "Cai Zhifu, the most prosperous city in the world, can't be destroyed in the hands of you and me." ”

"Yes......" Cai Guoxi suddenly sweated like pulp, took off the black yarn and kowtowed vigorously: "It's all the negligence of the lower officials that caused today's crisis, and I ask Lord Zhongcheng to punish him!" ”

"In the future, when we will be held accountable, none of us can run away from yours and mine." Lin Run said expressionlessly: "You get up and speak first." ”

"Xie Zhongcheng." Cai Guoxi got up from the ground at this time, but his head was still hanging down on his chest, looking like a primary school student who had made a mistake.

Seeing that Cai Guoxi's attitude was quite upright, Lin Run's face was a little pale, and he asked lightly: "What is the situation in Suzhou City now?" ”

"Back in Zhongcheng, since the riots broke out three days ago, more and more citizens have joined in. Seeing that the crowd was excited, the lower officials were deeply afraid that the forcible pressure would backfire, intensify the contradictions, and even cause large-scale bloodshed. ”

Cai Guoxi has been thinking about how to pass Lin Run's level these days. At this time, every sentence and even every action was repeatedly scrutinized by him.

"Zhongcheng often said, 'The way of government is based on the will of the people.'" The lower officials kept in mind the teachings of Zhongcheng and did not dare to forget them. So after weighing it, he ordered the officials to send the people to stay put, and at the same time led the officials of the whole city to temporarily go out of the city to avoid ......"

"Because the citizens are not trying to rebel, they are not trying to smash and loot, but they are just dissatisfied because they have lost their livelihood and cannot support their families. At this time, it was too cruel and unfair to send troops to suppress it. But when they are angry, they can't listen to what they say, and they will do some radical behavior, so they still let them make a fuss, vent it, and wait to calm down before solving the problem. ”

"Oh?" Lin Run couldn't help but be a little funny, this Cai Zhifu is really a talent. Obviously scared out of the city, he actually said it with such good intentions and endured humiliation.

"In the past few days, have you thought of a solution to the problem?"

"Xiaguan is stupid, there is no good way to get rid of the disease, so I have to prescribe all the prescriptions." Cai Guoxi secretly called it a fluke, fortunately he had a way this morning, otherwise he would not be able to escape the slaughter even if he broke the sky. He replied in a competent tone:

"The officials of the lower official order Fuli and Wu County Changzhou wore civilian clothes into the city to contact the gentry in the city. He was ordered to do a good job of joint defense and self-protection, and must not let the riots spread to residential areas. ”

"Hmm." Lin Run nodded, confined the riot to the commercial area, and it was considered to abandon the car to protect the handsome.

ps. The first change of three consecutive changes, asking for a monthly pass.
