Although for ordinary people, Qingfeng Village is like a savior.

But for scholars, Qingfeng Village was too brutal.

Therefore, even after Yangzhou was stabilized, Li Qingfeng ordered Wang Ruyi to recruit scholars to serve in Qingfeng Village.

However, there were still few people who responded. In the huge Yangzhou, only more than 300 people were able to be gathered so far.

Although more scholars and intellectuals had no choice but to accept the land allocated by Qingfeng Village, the privileges of the gentry were also eliminated. In the eyes of those scholars and intellectuals, this undoubtedly cut off their future.

Naturally, these people don't have much good feelings towards Qingfeng Village, let alone work for Qingfeng Village.

This is also the reason why Li Qingfeng chose such a relatively peaceful means to appease people's hearts after entering Jinling.

He could eliminate the gentry and landlord class, but he could not kill all the scholars in the world who disobeyed him.

Furthermore, a change in thinking cannot be achieved overnight.

"Yes, Peak Master!" Aunt Hua bowed and accepted the order.

Qingfeng Li stood up and stretched, then walked out of the table and said to Aunt Hua,

"Have Wang Ziteng prepare. Once he's done with Nanjing, have him go to Yangzhou to coordinate the recruitment and appeasement."

Aunt Hua was stunned when she heard this.

"Peak Master, this..."

"Wang Ziteng is..."

Qingfeng Li waved his hand to interrupt Aunt Hua and said,

"Don't worry, Wang Ziteng is a smart man. Smart people know best what to do and what not to do! Let Kang Wuwei go with you when the time comes."

As he spoke, Qingfeng Li raised a playful smile.

"The news says that the imperial envoy who came to persuade the emperor to surrender is Jia Zheng from the Rongguo Mansion. Haha, I want to see how he will persuade his brother-in-law Wang Ziteng to surrender."

Aunt Hua nodded, and then asked,

"I wonder if the Peak Master has given Wang Ziteng instructions regarding the peace talks?"

Li Qingfeng shook his head.

"No need, he's a smart guy! If he can't even grasp this little measure, why should I, the Peak Master, let his daughter enter my gate!"

As he spoke, Qingfeng Li snorted softly.

"If he is truly unwise and really agrees to something, will the hundreds of thousands of brothers under this peak master listen to the words of a surrendered general?"

Aunt Hua understood Qingfeng Li's meaning and said with a smile,

"Peak Master is absolutely right!"

Qingfeng Li waved his hand.

"Go!"

"Yes!"

After Aunt Hua left, Qingfeng Li looked at Xiao Ai with some worry.

"Xiao Ai, why do my eyelids keep twitching lately? I always have this inexplicable premonition that something might happen?"

Xiao Ai glanced at Qingfeng Li and replied without any emotion,

"What you think about during the day you dream about at night. There are many reasons for eyelid twitching, most of which are caused by excessive eyelid vibration due to fatigue."

"It is recommended that you go to bed early at night and get enough sleep."

Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes.

Well! I knew that talking about this with Xiao Ai would be like talking to a cow.

He shook his head helplessly and looked outside the door.

"I don't know how Yu'er is doing now?"

……

In the Wang family's mansion.

Since joining Li Qingfeng, Wang Ziteng has been hosting banquets for countless families of all sizes in the city every day, discussing with them how to arrange for their children or scholars to attend the Qingfeng Village training class.

In the first two days, many people seemed unwilling to cooperate.

However, as Jia Yucun began to vigorously implement the new order of Da Wu in Jinling, several families that had originally stayed in the city were all raided by Jia Yucun in roundabout ways.

Most of the families that were able to stay in Jinling City were proud of their good family traditions and their usual behavior of not being cruel to the people. They stayed there knowing that Qingfeng Village would not attack them at will.

However, no one expected that a guy like Jia Yucun would appear in Jinling City.

When he was the prefect of Jinling, the war between Qingfeng Village and the imperial court had already broken out, so it was just a decoration.

But now, after that guy defected to Qingfeng Village, he seemed to have become a different person. As for the nobles in the city, big or small, who did not comply with the Nine Rules of Qingfeng, he would immediately frame them with crimes and confiscate their entire family.
