This time, Qingfeng Village entered the city directly and confiscated nearly 80% of the salt merchants in Yangzhou City.

In addition, the various halls confiscated the assets of those illegal gentry in their jurisdiction, and obtained mountains of silver and countless supplies.

Faced with the mountains of silver in the treasury, even Li Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh at the serious harm caused by these gentry and nobles.

The Daqian court is now like a broken ship with leaks on all sides, and it needs money to repair it everywhere.

The total tax revenue collected by the imperial court each year across the country was no more than 30 million taels.

However, the silver that Li Qingfeng confiscated from the Yangzhou area alone amounted to more than 40 million taels of silver.

How heart-rending is this!

To give a simple example, before Li Qingfeng traveled through time, the national tax revenue of China was 30 billion in a certain year. However, just from the Yangzhou area, Li Qingfeng confiscated more than 40 billion from those wealthy and unkind salt merchants.

Compared to the billionaire chairman before the time travel, these ancient people are even more shocking!

However, these gains were not what Qingfeng Li valued most.

What he cared about most was the hearts of the people in Yangzhou.

Qingfeng Village’s move to enter the city and divide the land was indeed the right one.

Not only did it quickly stabilize Yangzhou, but it also won the hearts of countless people.

Almost all the people immediately became members of Qingfeng Village after the land was divided in Qingfeng Village.

Only those nobles and officials who were lucky enough not to be discovered for their evil deeds by Qingfeng Village would be in great pain, because even if they had not committed any illegal acts, their lands had been distributed to ordinary people by Qingfeng Village.

Although this move might cause some turmoil, Qingfeng Li had to do it.

Because he remembered the words of the great man deeply,

Many times, it is not that the landlords are guilty, but that the class they belong to should not exist!

There is also the issue of the restructuring of Qingfeng Village.

Today, Qingfeng Village has 30,000 elite soldiers, plus nearly 80,000 militiamen. It doesn't look like a bandit at all.

People in the village and even among the common people were discussing this matter. How could a bandit be able to control an entire state and have 100,000 elite soldiers?

Although Qingfeng Li understood these, he did not make changes immediately.

The restructuring is just a matter of changing the name from Qingfengzhai to a better-sounding and more impressive one.

But the three words "Qingfengzhai" were still of great use after Li Qingfeng entered Jinling.

Even if changes are to be made, they should be made after the capture of Nanjing.

After gathering my thoughts,

Qingfeng Li took out a letter that had been delivered today from his arms and changed into a comfortable position.

Sit sideways on a wide chair with your legs resting on the armrests.

After opening it, when he saw the beautiful handwriting on it, the corners of Li Qingfeng's mouth curled up slightly.

This is the letter that Lin Daiyu wrote to him when she went to the capital.

She thought to herself that she had already arrived in Dongchang Prefecture, but here, a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared from the north and took over the escort operation of the fleet.

Then, my mind was filled with the daily trivialities along the way.

But Qingfeng Li was watching with great interest.

At the same time, Lin Daiyu also used the small characters that Li Qingfeng had chosen for her in the signature of the letter.

After seeing this, Qingfeng Li couldn't help but laugh.

With Li Qingfeng's current means and power, he naturally wouldn't take the big-faced treasure raised by a woman in the Rongguo Mansion in Shenjing seriously.

Giving Lin Daiyu a nickname in advance may be an alternative manifestation of male chauvinism.

After reading the letter, Qingfeng Li looked at the date on it and calculated the time.

Because Lin Daiyu's fleet had 8 million taels of salt tax, and they were going upstream to the north, the journey would certainly not be fast.

According to the calculation of time, it is estimated that Lin Daiyu should have arrived in the Hejian area of ​​Zhaozhou at this time.
