As for He Dongxing's gambling industry, he directly arrested the officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the prefect of Shangjing who were obstructing it, and found the owners of several shops he had talked to before and rented the shops.

At the Ministry of Works, the Minister of Works was also arrested, and even the Vice Minister of Works was not spared. The remaining officials were so scared that they dared not interfere anymore.

Liang Zidong's Ministry of Agriculture also began preparations. Not only that, he also selected several officials from it to recruit farmers to open up wasteland at the entrance of the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Commerce also began to be established. Lu Renzhong captured the new Minister and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and gathered all the major business companies and merchants in the entire Shangjing City together for a meeting.

It involves various business practices, the establishment of a unified chamber of commerce, its inclusion in the Ministry of Commerce's list, and describes taxation clauses, etc.

Everything went smoothly, and those who tried to stop it were all arrested.

This is a good thing for the people, as they are not panicked by the arrest of officials.

After all, this series of actions are for the people, and the people will applaud. After this series of events, the people have a different understanding of Li Changle, the empress, and Jiang Fan, the King of Qin of Dayan.

All the people felt that they really wanted to seek benefits for the people of Daxi. As for those officials who were arrested, they felt that they deserved it.

Huang Lizhi and others felt somewhat panicked when they learned that Jiang Fan had used thunderous means to suppress their obstruction by force.

Just when Huang Lizhi and others were preparing to find a way to deal with it, the Royal Newspaper was suddenly published, which was full of a series of crimes committed by the arrested officials.

Corruption, taking bribes, occupying people's land, forcibly abducting women, murdering for money, etc. The biggest crime was treason. And the crime of treason involved three great families.

Among the three major families, Huang Lizhi, head of the Huang family, became the man behind the scenes.

As soon as the newspaper reached Huang Lizhi's hands, he was so scared that he fell off his chair and sat on the ground, his eyes full of fear.

He never thought that Jiang Fan and Li Changle would attack him in this way. They didn't even give him any chance.

After coming to his senses, he quickly called his men. He couldn't just sit there and wait for death. He had to think of a way. But before he could think of a way, Jiang Fan's army arrived.

The entire Huang family, as well as the remaining two major families, the Ye family and the Wang family, were directly surrounded by Jiang Fan's army.

When the people of the three great families saw this, they immediately fought back. Huang Lizhi and the heads of the other two great families knew that Jiang Fan had left them no chance of survival.

This is a preparation for a forceful purge of these aristocratic families. If they don't resist, they will die, but if they resist, they will also die.

In front of Jiang Fan's army, the military forces of these noble families were simply vulnerable. Jiang Fan used powerful means to directly destroy the three noble families.

Huang Lizhi and the heads of the other two great families were captured. The head of the Ye family was Ye Zhongzhi, and the head of the Wang family was Wang Yunshi. The remaining small families began to tremble in fear.

They finally realized that they were too naive. How could they fight Jiang Fan? Since Jiang Fan was going to support Li Changle, it was impossible for him not to do so.

Could this legendary prince of Dayan have become famous in Dayan if he didn't have some tricks?

I wanted to threaten to resign, but it didn't work. I wanted to make those officials difficult, but they just pushed me aside! Unless you are not afraid of death, you will be courting death if you secretly obey and shirk your responsibilities.

As for mobilizing public opinion?! It seems to work, but he directly used a newspaper to make public opinion lean towards him.

Huang Lizhi, Ye Zhongzhi, Wang Yunshi of the Wang family, the former six ministers, and several newly promoted ministers and vice ministers were being taken side by side to the execution ground.

In front of them were the people of Shangjing City, and there were about 300 prisoners on the execution ground. These people were all high-ranking officials of the three major families, and they held positions in various departments.

Then there were the officials from various ministries who worked together with Huang Lizhi and others to obstruct the implementation of government orders.

The newspaper directly reported that a group of officials headed by Huang Lizhi wanted to overthrow Daxi and seize the throne of the empress, and they joined forces with many court officials to conceal the government order, making it impossible to implement the government order.

It also reported all the crimes that all officials had committed that were punishable by death. Therefore, when officials such as Huang Lizhi and Ye Zhongzhi were taken to be beheaded, the people were not angry but celebrated.

The people selling rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves nearby were making a lot of money. They threw the rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at Huang Lizhi and others without hesitation.

Huang Lizhi and the others had regret in their eyes. If they had known that Jiang Fan was so difficult to deal with, they would not have been so desperate as to provoke Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan had supported Li Changle to take the position, and if they had cooperated obediently, they would not have ended up like this. At first, they saw that Jiang Fan did not make many moves, so they thought that Jiang Fan was easy to bully.

But they never thought that Jiang Fan was just waiting for them to commit suicide. If they didn't commit suicide, Jiang Fan would have no excuse to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Once the three great families were destroyed, the other families had to keep a low profile. When Daxi was stable, they could not cause any trouble and even had to worry about their families being destroyed.

Unless Dashi becomes turbulent, these aristocratic families will be able to stir up trouble.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that Jiang Fan had long been eyeing these aristocratic families. Finding an opportunity to destroy the three major families was only his first step. After his policies were successfully implemented and Daxi became stable, it would be the end of those aristocratic families!

The people were so excited watching the beheadings that many cheered. Huang Lizhi, Ye Zhongzhi and others were the first to be pushed onto the guillotine.

The arrogant and insolent people were frightened to death as soon as they stepped onto the guillotine. The executioner frowned because of the smoke. When beheading, he deliberately used a blunt knife.

Huang Lizhi and others were beheaded because of their crimes. The people had no sympathy for them. They applauded and cheered.

After the grand beheading incident came to an end, the remaining officials no longer dared to shirk their responsibilities and worked extra hard.

They dare not gamble their lives again. Didn't they see Huang Lizhi and others being chopped off? The people did not have the heart to resist. They still want the people to fight against Jiang Fan and Li Changle? They are dreaming!

Plus, with the Royal Press around, they couldn’t even spread a rumor.

All officials were behaving themselves, but people from aristocratic families had their own agendas. Some wanted to stir up trouble, but found they could not do anything for the time being.

Those who had a long-term vision knew that Jiang Fan was going to attack the noble families, so these noble families immediately handed over most of their family businesses and expressed their submission to Li Changle.

Jiang Fan gave different treatments to those who handed over more industries. For those who handed over more industries, Jiang Fan would let them participate in the Ministry of Commerce and give them some business qualifications.

Those who handed over less were treated coldly. As for the noble families that had not made any moves, Jiang Fan was ready to take action.
