After a few days of marching, they finally arrived at Taiyuan Mansion, which is the center of Shanxi, and has already prepared a large number of materials needed to relocate the people.

talked to the local prefect and asked him to bring the old patriarchs of various villages over tomorrow to discuss in the military camp, Zhu Biao had no time to talk to them.

The next day, the prefect of Taiyuan led a mighty team to the place where the army was stationed, Guo Chong and Wu Bozong led people to receive and record the record.

The prefect of Taiyuan led people into the camp to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and after Zhu Biao asked them to get up, he said: "You have received the imperial edict for a while, and this immigration is a great matter, and the saint has also paid a lot of attention, so I sent the palace to Shanxi to supervise this matter in person, and I hope that the princes and the elders of all villages can cooperate." ”

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "It's about people's livelihood, if you have any doubts or incomprehensions, you can raise them." ”

Naturally, the officials headed by them had nothing to say, and it was not that they were removed, they just acted according to orders, and it was not a good errand to do more wrong.

The patriarch of the Wang clan below bowed down first and said: "Grass people Wang Rong, Xi is the patriarch of the Wang clan, there are about 30,000 people in this clan, who are close to the side branches, and they are all gathered in a few villages, and they have been watching and helping each other since ancient times. ”

The patriarchs of the rest of the families and the village elders of the villages all looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince above, and Zhu Biao said in a harmonious voice: "This relocation is painful for a while, and it is understandable that you can't bear to leave the palace with your relatives, but under the imperial edict, if you don't cooperate, you can only forcibly emigrate." ”

Wang Rong lowered his head and asked: "Where do the grass people dare to disobey the imperial edict, it's just that the relatives are inseparable, and I ask Your Highness to be considerate." ”

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "This time the palace will give you a thorough explanation, and you can go back to tell the people that this time you are moving to Fengyang, where is Fengyang?" It is the emperor's hometown, and it is not far from the capital division at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the people here will inevitably receive royal grace in the future. ”

The people below were immediately moved, especially the village elders in those remote villages, this is what the crown prince said, it is estimated that he has not run away, but his homeland is difficult to leave, and there are still many people who look at Zhu Biao in the upper position.

Zhu Biao continued: "It is a national policy to relocate people in Shanxi and other places, and this is just the beginning. ”

After saying that, he waved his hand, and Li Jin led them out, most of the village elders were illiterate, and the words behind them were not something they could understand, nor could they influence.

The rest is the landlord of Shanxi, Zhu Biao looked at Wang Rong, this person is probably just a fake family owner pushed out by the Wang family, Zhu Biao has already received the situation of the pro-army Duwei Mansion about the Shanxi family, and the head of the Taiyuan Wang family is obviously called Wang Qi.

People probably think that the son of a daughter can't sit down, but Zhu Biao doesn't care, after all, this is a family matter of other clans, and there is no need to go to the court for approval, I think they don't know how pervasive the pro-army governor's mansion was when Zhu Yuanzhang was there.

On the other side, the head of the Li family bowed down and asked, "Your Highness, dare to ask how many people need to be relocated this time?" ”

Zhu Biao knocked on the table and said, "About 200,000 people, and at least eighty percent of them must be young and strong." ”

The rest of the family heads looked at each other and felt a toothache, if it was only 200,000 people, it would be okay to say, everyone worked hard to get together, and it was good to serve His Highness happily, but to have so many young people was to dig their roots.

Shanxi is different from other places, whether it is the people or the landlords in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, they have been forced to death by war and natural disasters, the land is empty and uncultivated, Shanxi is very safe under the protection of Wang Baobao, and its land is ownery.

Now that the imperial court has just taken over Shanxi, in order to ensure its prosperity, there is no large-scale killing of the old ministers of the Yuan court, and all those who surrender are forgiven, so although there are many people in Shanxi, most of the land belongs to these landlords, and the landless people have long become their tenant farmers.

Their family's livelihood is under their control, if they cooperate, these people will naturally be unable to resist, people will not give you land to plant, sooner or later you will starve to death, and you will naturally have no choice but to follow Zhu Biao to Fengyang.

The imperial court specially wanted to relocate the people from Shanxi, otherwise it would be possible to relocate the people from Jiangnan, just to weaken the power of the Shanxi scholars, otherwise it would be a trouble once there was chaos.

Zhu Biao's purpose was to send other officials to the Shanxi scholars from beginning to end, and most of the people who were relocated were the old, weak, sick and disabled, or people who had their own farmland.

In terms of these warriors continuing to annex the land, only Zhu Biao is here, his status is shocking, and the 30,000 ironclad elite with the garrison is enough to wash Shanxi in blood, so that these warriors can obediently bow their heads and cooperate, instead of playing tricks,

The heads of the family led by Wang Rong began to complain, and they called out all the blood and family affection and homeland, and Zhu Biao was happy to persuade him, and it took a while.

Zhu Biaocai squinted his eyes and looked at the Taiyuan prefect, this person was originally the Taiyuan prefect of the Yuan Dynasty, when Xu Da led the army into Shanxi, he was the first to surrender, as a pacification, the court did not change his official position.

The prefect of Taiyuan had a bitter face, and opened his mouth to help persuade him, these family heads were still staring at the interests in front of them, but they didn't know the true intentions of the imperial court.

This is cutting meat with a blunt knife, and when they lose the youth in their hands, the court will send a few cool officials to kill them, and now the court is still taking care of Shanxi's taxes, and can't bear to be too persecuted.

At noon, Zhu Biaorang invited them to eat in the tent, that is, ordinary flatbread with hot vegetable soup, and then sent them back.

It's still the same sentence, you can't think about killing what you can negotiate, how did the rat trap come about, in order to kill a few rats, you will smash your own precious jade together, it's a fool's business, it's no longer a troubled world, it's a rule of the world.

The autumn harvest is coming soon, this autumn harvest is related to the recovery of the land of Bashu in the spring, Zhu Biao does not want to make a big deal at this time, a smooth transition is the king, if you do what you want, sooner or later you will eat the consequences.

Li Jin walked into the house and said, "The grain and grass have been counted, and it is currently enough for 100,000 people to eat for a month." ”

Zhu Biao nodded, that is, Shanxi could easily take out so much food, leaned on the back of the chair and asked Li Jin, "What else do you think they can do?" ”

Li Jin thought for a while and bowed down and asked, "If other people come, whether it is coercion or temptation, there are feasible strategies, but His Highness is invulnerable." ”
