The news about the imminent handover of Nanming Prefecture spread throughout Jiangnan almost in a day, instantly causing a public uproar even greater than the previous revelation of Chen Qing's identity.
In no time, it stirred up waves like a thousand-layered splash, and the entire Jiangnan was abuzz with discussions about the matter.
According to the released news, anyone who feels they cannot be ruled by an unknown outsider can report to Nanming Prefecture, where a new government will be established. The people are free to choose a leader, and the leader will then set up an administrative team. Power cannot be seized by force; it must be gained through policies and promises that win the people's votes.
This approach is unprecedented, and many noble families are eager to try it out.
