Yan Chengjin lowered his head slightly, not in a hurry to justify.

"What the prince said is very true, the population of the imperial court has not decreased sharply, and even far exceeds the number of people in the four years of Hongzhi."

The number of households in the four years of Hongzhi is more than 2 million more than the current inventory.

If it is far exceeded, is it not said that there are more than 2 million displaced people?

The officials quickly calculated the difference, and unanimously felt that it was impossible.

Emperor Hongzhi also felt that it was impossible: "If there are two million displaced people, how can the imperial court not find out?" ”

Liu Jian nodded.

"Your Majesty, in addition to these people being homeless, there are also rogues and bandits, and these people are not among the Yellow Book." Yan Chengjin said.

Emperor Hongji fell into deep thought.

Li Dongyang felt that what he said was reasonable, and it was not surprising that the bandits, the old, the weak, the women and children hidden in the mountains and forests combined.

There are so many mountains in the world, bandits, mountain thieves, lake pirates, pirates, pirates, all of them, there are hundreds of thousands, it is not unusual.

Chen Qing bowed down and said, "Lord Yan is right, these people are not in the Yellow Book, but how can they be placed?" ”

The mobility of the displaced people is strong, and it is obviously impossible to send the army to conduct a carpet search.

Xie Qian said: "You can give porridge stalls to attract them, and then they will be placed by the government." ”

Emperor Hongzhi felt that it was reasonable, so he made a decree and ordered the two capitals and thirteen provinces to give food relief and bring the displaced people over.

But he did not listen to Yan Chengjin's advice and led the displaced people to Guangxi.

Instead, it was sent to Yansui in the northwest.

"The Great Wall in the northwest is almost finished, right?"

Wu Kuan stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Imperial History Fang Xue has been passed back to the sparse music, and it has been repaired for more than two thousand miles. ”

It lasted two years, from Borobao in Hetao to Yanze in Xinjiang.

Meandering, far more than thousands of miles.

With war horses and millions of displaced people, it may be completed in two years.

"Fang Xue has lived up to my expectations, and I am very pleased." Emperor Hongzhi's face softened.

But even if these people were placed in the northwest, he still couldn't figure it out.

Why is it better to rule under the rule of the emperor.

The first emperor slept until noon every day, rarely went to the court in the middle of January, and mixed with Wan'an all day long, studying the elixir and the spring palace map, and it was rare for a hundred officials to see the emperor once.

It is precisely this truth that is understood.

After he ascended the throne, he got up to deal with the government after the end of the day, and he was not allowed to go to bed when it was time.

And the lack of political achievements is not as good as the emperor.

Not only him, but Liu Jian and Li Dongyang also frowned, not understanding where the problem came from.

They read hundreds of letters a day, which is many times stronger than Wan'an's cabinet.

"Hubu, is the amount of acres on the yellow book out?"

Chen Qing bowed slightly: "Not yet, it will take a few more days." ”

Just listening to the census of the population, His Majesty reacted like this.

He had a hunch that the fields were no better.

I don't know how many gentry hid their fields, is it really thorough?

Emperor Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and was not in the mood to punish Zhu Houzhao, and ordered the officials to retreat.

"The capital is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, why is it like this when I go to the place, but my decree cannot be implemented?"

Liu Jian lowered his head, and Li Dongyang did not answer.

The six ministries were silent.

Yan Chengjin nodded slightly, he had only traveled to the Ming Dynasty for four years, and it was not easy to make the capital gradually prosperous.

In other parts of the Ming Dynasty, it is extremely difficult to have significant changes.

Even in later generations, it would be difficult for a developing GJ to be promoted to a developed GJ in four years.

His Majesty asked this, which is really embarrassing for the cabinet.

"Negligence!"

Li Dongyang took the lead and apologized to Emperor Hongzhi one after another.

Yan Chengjin shouted, and was hesitating, should he take out the ten bullet seals in his cuffs and speak for himself once?

I heard that people who speak for themselves are not too unlucky.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned calmly and said solemnly: "The household department will send more officials, no matter what, in three days, I will see the number of acres of land!" ”

Chen Qing's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated: "Your ...... Obey! ”

Wang Ji was placed in the palace in case His Majesty was unwell.

The cabinet's decree was soon issued, and in addition to the capital, porridge stalls appeared one after another in various prefectures and counties.

The weather is cold, and the alms attract the displaced people.

……

Nanchang Mansion, Ningwang Mansion.

After Zhu Chenhao returned to the house, he placed the daughter of the homeless people, Jiang, in a side courtyard.

Jiang was pregnant, which was something he didn't expect.

Concubine Lou was calm as usual, neither making trouble nor tossing, as if he had never been out of the wall.

"What did Yan Chengjin say to Concubine Lou?"

The housekeeper was busy making amends: "The villain doesn't know, he only knows that the letter is from the capital, and the little one doesn't dare to open it, and Concubine Lou burned it after reading it." ”

Burn after reading?

Zhu Chenhao is sure that it was sent by Yan Chengjin, what did you tell Concubine Lou?

"Lord Wang, why are you so scruple about the imperial history?"

"This king always felt that he knew that this king was going to rebel." Zhu Chenhao said what he felt in his heart.

He was in the capital to conduct the great time of the vassal king.

Although Yan Chengjin did not obstruct him, he always had incredible strategies.

After returning from the capital, he even vaguely felt that the plan of the vassal king was prepared for him.

But back in Nanchang, nothing happened.

It's like the prey that has entered the range of a hunter's trap and will be caught at any time, which makes him feel uneasy.

"Although the imperial court has checked the yellow book, the small one has hidden the field, and he is not afraid of being investigated, so the prince can rest assured."

Zhu Chenhao bowed, and he suddenly remembered Tang Yin.

Came to a quiet courtyard, in the courtyard, a scholar spread rice paper on the ground, dancing ink and painting.

"Student Tang Yin, I've seen the prince."

"It's okay, you draw yours, and this king looks at this king."

……

Yan Chengjin's household department was on duty and visited Xie Yu.

Since the liquidation of the Yellow Book, Xie Yu has been living in the side house next to him.

"Lord Yan, I don't want to forget about the little ones."

"Why?"

Xie Yu cried and wiped his tears, and heard that His Majesty fainted after reading the population on the yellow book.

If you see the fields in the picture book, won't you die?

This is a big sin of the Nine Clans, and I don't dare to say anything anymore.

"The little one receives the wages of the good township, why do you have to do the work of the household department? The little ones don't dare to forget it...... You let the villain go. ”

He has been in business for decades, and has seen murderous bandits and cannibalistic starvation.

But no matter what, it was just him alone, and it didn't affect his family.

But now, it is a great sin to punish the nine clans.

Businessmen have always been shrewd, Yan Chengjin comforted: "Your Majesty is generous, I won't cut off your head." ”

Xie Yu hesitated and picked up the yellow book: "Look at this number, you really can't cut it?" ”

Yan Chengjin looked at the number above: "Maybe it will be cut." ”

Xie Yu actually calculated it, but secretly hid it and didn't report it to the household department?

It seems that he is also a good person, and he knows that this matter is more serious than the census population.

Yan Chengjin thought about it, and handed it over to His Majesty in person, saving the household department from doing tricks and making changes indiscriminately.

If the fields cannot be controlled, it is a dereliction of duty on the part of the household.

To be honest, he still likes Hangeul......

Came to the Fengtian Palace, Xiao Jing guarded in front of the palace door, in the hall, Emperor Hongzhi and the cabinet were reading the day's sparse music.

Seeing the yellow book in Yan Chengjin's hand, Xiao Jing knew what it was: "There is no need to report it, Lord Yan will go in and take it by himself, Your Majesty will wait." ”

"Let's call Wang Ji over first."

"Lord Yan is right, you wait first." Xiao Jing hurriedly ordered.

After a while, Wang Ji came with the medicine box on his back and saluted Yan Chengjin slightly.

Yan Chengjin said solemnly: "This time may be more serious than last time, have you prepared the medicine?" ”

Wang Ji bowed his head.

The next moment, Yan Chengjin pushed open the door of the hall and slowly walked into the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the statistics of the acres of land have come out, this is the yellow book."

Emperor Hongzhi was a little frightened in his heart, staring at the yellow book in Yan Chengjin's hand, it is coming!
