Chapter 210: Fengyang Mansion
The so-called armed with sharp weapons, murderous intentions, even if there is military discipline, there are always violent people among the soldiers, and many things cannot be reversed, after all, the prince cannot bring people back to life.
The next day, officials and gentry from all over Shanxi also came, and this time the matter was completed quite smoothly, and Zhu Biao also wanted to give them a favor, so he had a good meal with them.
They can't do anything now, the clan has been divided, the small households in the field have also been moved, and their family is left with an empty shell, and facing the court in the back is just fish and meat on the board.
Zhu Biao appeased, as long as the vague guidance at the table cooperated, the court would not embarrass them, the officials were transferred to other places, as long as they were upright, their positions would remain unchanged and even be promoted by half a level, and the gentry would sell some land, they might as well go into business, and the court would have policy support.
They are naturally reluctant, but what is the way, either rebellion or obedience, but in Shanxi alone, I am afraid that they will not even be able to make a wave, and they will be suppressed by the imperial court, and their end will be just dead.
Zhu Biao didn't care, he also pointed out, if he had to go to the road to death, no one could stop them, the next day Zhu Biao led a huge team to set off, and the officials sent each other for a hundred miles, according to the farewell.
The team of more than 100,000 people is naturally slow, and the team is too long, and the old and weak women and children are already slow, not to mention that they all have large bags and small bags of belongings, and the children of those families are even more prepared.
Probably after leaving the territory of Shanxi, Zhu Biao ordered to divide the team, he had to lead the young Zhuang to Fengyang first, and prepare the houses and ploughing before the winter, otherwise the spring ploughing of the spring would be delayed, and these people would have to eat a considerable amount of grain from the imperial court.
Women, children, old and young, and disabled patients are all left at the end, there is no need to rush to march, and along the way, they can continue to absorb homeless beggars and orphans.
So in the desperate eyes of the two stinky younger brothers, Zhu Biao handed over the women and children who were crying because they were separated from their husbands to the two of them, and after getting rid of the noise source, Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is still easy to use in his own family.
The young men naturally don't have so much to cry about, and the meals along the way also let them know that the prince didn't want to find a place to bury them alive, so he cooperated more.
And they are all peasant households, since the matter of relocation has been decided, they are now more concerned about the problem of the fields, saying that a thousand ways and ten thousand are all false, and only by giving them the land, let them grow food, and feed the family is true.
So they were more anxious than Zhu Biao to go to Fengyang, after the detachment, the marching speed was really a lot faster, and they arrived at Fengyang in half a month's effort, it has been several years since the last time they came here, and Zhu Biao was only the son of King Wu at that time.
Now he is already the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao, who was riding on the horse, suddenly remembered something, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, he has arrived at his hometown, no matter what, he has to go to sacrifice his ancestors, otherwise it is unreasonable, so he ordered people to prepare the sacrificial livestock first.
Fengyang is not a small county in later generations but a government, in the early Ming Dynasty, the scope of today's Huai River on both sides of the river, including Suzhou (except Dangshan, Xiao County), Huaibei, Huainan, Bengbu, Fuyang, Bozhou, Huoqiu in Lu'an, Dingyuan, Mingguang, Fengyang, Tianchang in Chuzhou, and Sihong and Xuyi in Jiangsu.
Fengyang Mansion as Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, is also the birthplace of Huaixi Group, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Huaixi Xungui are committed to making it rich and strong, but Fengyang has gone through natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the lack of manpower has reached the extreme of imagination, so the imperial court decided to immigrate to Fengyang first.
The vast majority of the officials in Fengyang Mansion are from Huaixi, and they can be regarded as the nobles' own land, and they are waiting for Zhu Biao's arrival on the official road early in the morning, and Zhu Li, Guo Chong, and Li Jin are also on the side.
The group saluted Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao nodded and waved them to excuse themselves, and then personally dismounted and helped Zhu Li to say a few words to him first, Zhu Li is already the king of Chu, and the dignity that should be given is not exempt.
Zhu Biao asked about the affairs of those people in detail, most of them have settled down, Fengyang Mansion has been preparing since the beginning of the year, many abandoned villages have been repaired, and the people can have a place to take refuge by resting themselves.
But now it is close to saturation, and if you want to resettle the people, you have to build a new village, and the officials surrounded His Royal Highness the prince to a county seat, and Zhu Biao did not refuse, Fengyang is different from Shanxi, which is the basic plate of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition to the elite guarding Zhu Biao, the rest of the soldiers then escorted the young and strong to the camp that had been prepared a long time ago, and this last group must build the village by themselves, so that they can rest for two days before they have to start work.
When I arrived at the restaurant, the meal had not yet been cooked, and the ingredients were ready, but it was impossible to do it directly without the inspection of the people around the prince, Liu Jin waited for Zhu Biao to sit down and then led people to the kitchen, Zhu Biao waved his hand to let the officials sit down, and Zhu Li sat beside him.
The prefect of Fengyang Mansion was once a staff member of Wu Wangfu, and he was also familiar with Zhu Biao, so the atmosphere was also relatively good.
Zhu Biao also smiled and agreed, then gently knocked on the table with the back of his fingers, looked at the Fengyang official and said: "There is no need to say more polite words first, first do everything well, and then the palace will be drinking and chatting with the gentlemen." ”
The prefect of Fengyang immediately responded: "The ministers will definitely do their best to share the worries of His Highness, and we have been preparing for the relocation of the people for a long time, so please rest assured." ”
The rest of the people also nodded, this is true, no one wants to lose face in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, leaving an impression of incompetence, and the efficiency of the officials to act seriously is not a joke.
The first two batches of more than 100,000 immigrants have been settled, which is impossible in other places, and it is a great achievement to properly settle 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the imperial court has to order praise them.
Zhu Biao naturally knows this, but since he is in charge at this time, he naturally has to be perfect, and first praised them a few words, saying that he would play to the court to commend them.
The Fengyang officials also felt that they were not busy in vain, they were all in good spirits, and what Zhu Biao wanted was this effect, which allowed them to work independently and he worked with a whip behind his back, the effect was two different things.
Although Zhu Biao is young, he is the prince and prince, and he is also half their father, so he does not hesitate to give out candy to these bearded officials, so that they can work happily.
After a while, the wine and food came up, and the attention of the officials was not on this at all, so Zhu Biao asked about the lives of the people who had been resettled while eating, and the resettlement work in Fengyang Mansion was really good, and with the materials sent by the Ministry of Household and Industry, as long as the seeds could be sown smoothly in the spring of next year, then this matter would be completed.
