Chapter 63 Dividing the land and entrusting the hearts of the people
As an iron fan of Zhu Youzhen, if he can ensure that so many people are not unemployed, and he can earn money for the emperor, Qinglong is really happy.
Qinglong entrusted Xiuchunlou to Chunhong and gave her a good salary.
"Chunhong, now Daming needs silver everywhere, I hope you can run Xiuchunlou well, and make your own contribution to Daming,
If you really make money, I can represent the Holy God today and give you a salary of three hundred taels of silver a year. ”
Three hundred taels of silver a year is nothing to those wealthy merchants, but it is absolutely astronomical in the eyes of ordinary people.
Hearing that her salary was so much, Chunhong was happy at the same time, but she still decisively refused.
Although she can earn a lot of silver, it doesn't belong to herself, she used to be just a tool for others to collect money.
Now it's different, her life is saved by adults, how can she get money without her life, it is impossible for her not to reciprocate.
Chunhong knelt down in front of Qinglong:
"My lord, Baimen can't repay the grace of saving his life, he doesn't need so much wages, as long as he has enough to eat......"
Qinglong smiled slightly, reached out to help Chunhong, and then corrected her:
"Xiao Chunhong, you remember, your life was not saved by me, if it wasn't for the emperor sending me here to investigate and kill those so-called yellow merchants and distribute land to the common people.
It's impossible for me Qinglong to meet you, it's just a matter of effort.
Besides, you also have a lot of credit for being able to get rid of Xiuchunlou, a den of wealth in the east.
When I go back, I will repay the Holy Majesty, and I will not treat you badly. ”
Qinglong said, pointing in the direction of Jingshi, Chunhong hurriedly turned around and bowed in the direction of Jingshi:
"The people's girl Baimen knocks on the Ming Holy Monarch, I wish the emperor long live, long live, long live!"
Qinglong didn't pay attention at first, but when Chunhong suddenly changed his words in a row, he reacted.
"Xiao Chunhong, what did you call yourself just now, what kind of white door, confused me."
Chunhong smiled indifferently and did not answer Qinglong's question directly:
"Nothing, the little woman felt a little for a while."
Speaking of which, some people may see who Chunhong really is, she is actually Kou Baimen, one of Qin Huai's Bayan.
At the beginning, he was brought to Beijing by Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Chengguo, and later sold to a Jin merchant at a high price, but the Jin merchant suddenly fell ill and died.
After the death of Jin Shang, she was kicked out of the house by Jin Shang's original partner.
Unfortunately, he was met by Ma Quan, the owner of Xiuchun Building.
After Ma Quan forcibly got her, he sent her to Xiuchun Lou to make money for the Eastern Kidnapping.
In order not to be sold by others, Kou Baimen often uses makeup to make himself less noticeable.
Despite this, she is almost glamorous in Xiuchun Building.
If Ma Quan didn't die, he really didn't know what he would think when he knew that the woman he sent to Xiuchun Tower was actually Kou Baimen.
The matter has passed, and she doesn't want to mention it again, just treat herself as Chunhong forever.
Qinglong was summoned by Zhu Youzhen, and he didn't like to go out to Fengyue places.
Therefore, he was not familiar with Kou Baimen, nor had he heard of it, so he did not continue to ask.
……
"My lord, if you catch a captive from the East, what do you think of it?"
Qinglong and Chunhong talked about good things, and as soon as they walked downstairs, Chen Yuan stepped forward to report.
Look back at the richly dressed man with a rat-tailed money.
"What's his name?"
"Lord Huiyu, this person's name is Kong Fugui, a native of Shandong."
Qinglong frowned, and then waved his hand:
"Kill, vet the others, let go of all the guests who have nothing to do with the captivity, don't embarrass them, and tell them that they can come at any time."
"Yes"
As soon as the incense was burned, the Jinyi guard finished interrogation.
The guests basically don't have a big problem, and few people know the details of Xiuchun Building, and almost all of them come to have fun.
After dismissing the guests, Qinglong ordered to summon all the people of Xiuchun Mansion to gather in the compound, and those who did not arrive were dealt with as traitors.
Now everyone in Xiuchunlou is in danger, they have all seen the high-rise of Xiuchunlou being killed, where is there anyone who dares to resist.
Soon, the compound was crowded with people, not only the girls arrived, but even some miscellaneous subordinates also came to the compound.
These people were nervously bowing their heads, and they didn't dare to look up at people at all.
Qinglong and Chunhong walked in front of everyone, and their eyes swept around everyone, putting great pressure on these people's hearts.
After a while, Qinglong cleared his throat and spoke:
"Ahem, let me introduce myself, I am the commander of the Ming Jinyi Guard, and now Xiuchun Building has changed hands, and from today onwards, Chunhong will be the owner of Xiuchun Building.
In the future, they must obey Chunhong's command and dispatch, and no one can disobey them.
Now I declare that those who do not want to stay in Xiuchun Tower can leave immediately, and this commander will not embarrass you.
If everyone is reluctant to leave, they can continue to stay in Xiuchun Building.
But you must not do anything unfavorable to Xiuchunlou, otherwise Ma Quan will be your end. ”
"Chunhong actually became the owner of Xiuchun Building, it's incredible." ”
Many people cast envious eyes on Chunhong, and everyone wanted to be the lucky one.
But I can only think about it in my heart, no one dares to say it, and I dare to speak out even if I talk about it, and the compound is still quiet......
Qinglong wanted to say a few more words,
"Report to your lordship, a large amount of gold and silver has been found in the secret room, please instruct the commander."
"Oh, take me there."
Qinglong asked Chen Yuan to accompany Chunhong to deal with the rest of the matter, and he followed a brocade guard to the secret room.
Underground Vault
The piles of gold and silver in the secret room of Xiuchun Building made Qinglong suddenly bloom.
It is worth counting, and there are as many as one million taels.
"Haha, it's not simple, does Xiuchunlou make so much money? Someone came, leaving 1,000 taels for Chunhong to do the activity funds, and the rest was all pulled away. ”
"Yes"
……
For Chunhong's safety, Qinglong left two brocade guards to be Chunhong's bodyguards.
Chen Yuan was not to be outdone, and he left thirty soldiers for Chunhong to call.
Then Qinglong and the others returned to Fan's house.
As for those people in Xiuchun Tower, Qinglong gave full authority to Chunhong to deal with.
He estimated that except for the unlucky prince, Chunhong should not embarrass Xiuchunlou and others.
solved the matter of Chunhong, and also added a Xiuchun Building with a good income to the emperor.
Qinglong was in a good mood and was ready to do the second thing for the emperor, that is, to divide the fields for the people.
Don't look at the Jin merchants are very rich, but the people are still very miserable, and most of their fields have been occupied by their officials and businessmen in collusion.
The minerals here have begun to take shape, and many people are desperate for their lives to mine for the rich merchants just to make ends meet.
This time, not only more than 30 wealthy businessmen were raided, but even those officials who encroached on the land of the common people also obediently handed over the illegal land.
After the inventory, Qinglong found that nearly 100 small mines and more than 2 million acres of fertile land were confiscated.
Minerals, of course, are domestic, and land is ready for redistribution.
Although the harvest is very low during the Xiaoice period, the field planting cannot be harvested, and it can still solve the problem of food and clothing.
Qinglong read out the holy decree that had been prepared a long time ago, and the fields were all divided among the people.
Zhangjiakou itself is not large, and almost every family can get a few acres of land.
After three years of tax exemption, there should be no problem in filling your stomach later.
The people of Zhangjiakou never imagined that they would become the first place in the country to be allocated fields.
After getting the land, tens of thousands of ordinary people gathered around Fan's house.
They shouted long live the Ming Emperor and were reluctant to leave for a long time.
Many people have tears in their eyes, and they feel like they are being treated as adults for the first time in years.
