The extermination of all kinds of rebels, nearly 10,000 families of the rich and powerful merchants were purged, these people more or less have some land and property, confiscated, the Ming not only got a total value of more than 480 million taels of various kinds of property, but also more than 100 million acres of land.

Under this 100 million mu of land, there are tenants with a population of 10 million.

Theoretically, the copied land naturally belonged to the imperial court, but those tenants must also be properly settled.

After some consideration, Zhu Ciji made the following decision.

Tenants can report to the imperial court to receive land for cultivation according to the premise that each household per household is limited to five mu, while ordinary people who own land themselves can also report to the imperial court to receive land cultivation according to the limit of five mu per household if each household is less than five mu.

Of course, the property rights of these lands still belonged to the imperial court, and the tenants and ordinary people who received the land could buy the property rights from the imperial court at the price of two taels of silver and one mu after twenty years of continuous cultivation.

This is equivalent to a disguised Junda order.

The reason why Zhu Cicheng did not directly give the land to the people free of charge is because if the land is hung in the name of the imperial court, the people cannot buy and sell at will, he wants to really restrict the annexation of land for 20 years, and as for the 20 years, the people need the price of two taels of silver and one mu to buy the land, so that the people will always remember that the ownership of the land is the imperial court, and the price of two taels of silver is too low relative to the land itself. However, it can increase the foreseeable income of 200 million taels to the imperial court, which is extremely beneficial to the future development of the Ming Dynasty.

By the time everything was settled, it was the middle of June of the second year of ZTE.

During this period of time, there were strong suppressions by various armies in various places, and there was the deterrence of the bloody reports of Daming Daily for more than a month, and at this time, the whole line in Daming had stabilized.

In mid-June, the first grain of the year begins to be harvested.

Because the land of the imperial court is the same as ordinary land, it is a tax rate of 20 taxes and 1, which is much lower than the previous heavy taxes of 4 taxes and 3 or even 5 taxes and 4 for landlords. In the past, although the tenants of the landlords cultivated an average of ten acres of land per person, the remaining grain every year was simply not enough to eat, and at present, although the land they cultivated per person was reduced from ten acres to five acres, the remaining grain was more than three times that of the past, and the tenants and ordinary people who were allocated to the imperial court land were extremely satisfied with the imperial court policy, and their support for the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly greater than before.

"Master Li, can we still collect seventy percent of this year's land tax?" In Hunan, an old farmer asked a man in a silk suit.

This Li Yuanwai was a local landowner whose family owned 1,000 acres of land, because he did not participate in the rebellion. In the end, the land was preserved, and the old peasant was the tenant of Li Yuanwai's family, according to the past, although Li Yuanwai did not collect eighty percent of the land tax from the tenants in frenzy, but there were also seven floors.

"No, no, no! Don't be seventy percent, two achievements are enough! Two achievements are enough! As soon as Li Yuanwai heard the inquiry of the tenants below, he immediately shook his head and said.

There are lessons learned from the strong and powerful landlords of nearly 10,000 households such as King Fu and King Lu, Li Yuanwai did not participate in the rebellion, how dare he disobey the decrees of the imperial court, and be manipulated by others, if he is mistaken for disobedience and resentment, it is likely to kill the whole family, and Li Yuanwai will never dare to do so.

Although the land tax has suddenly changed from seventy percent in previous years to two percent now, more than twice as much, Li Yuanwai gritted his teeth and still felt that the life of his family was more important.

Seeing Li Yuanwai say this, the old farmer secretly rejoiced in his heart, this year his family has cultivated nearly 100 acres of land, if he only pays 20% of the land tax to Li Yuanwai, then he can still have nearly 80 acres of production, not only enough to feed the family, but also sell part of the money, with that money he can build a few more houses, the second son and the third son can finally have a house to marry a daughter-in-law.

Since the most die-hard landlords were exiled because of the rebellion, with these deterrents, the remaining landlords were not willing to obey anyway, and the decrees of the imperial court were fully implemented.

The privilege of never paying taxes was canceled, and the price of the landlord's land lease was also limited to less than 20%, which was cheered by the ordinary people who benefited from it, and this summer harvest was like the New Year, and the people's support for the Ming Dynasty reached an unprecedented level.

North, Beijing City, Manchu Regent Palace.

Dolgon had just returned from quelling the rebellious Mongol tribes when he heard what had happened to the Ming Dynasty in the south.

"Zhu Ci really succeeded!"

"The Han people are all waste, more than a million anti-army, it was wiped out in just over a month, even if a group of pigs let Ying Longjun catch them, they may not all be caught in more than a month!" Dolgon's face was extremely gloomy, and he couldn't help but curse.

He didn't expect that in less than three months, Zhu Ciji would succeed in such a big thing.

"Ying Longjun! Ying Longjun! Dorgon gritted his teeth.

After carefully reading the information gathered by the spies, Dolgon's eyes were so cold that he could freeze to death.

What did he see!

In Jiujiang, the 20,000 troops of Ying Long's army dared to confront King Fu's 300,000 army, and quickly defeated King Fu, and King Fu's 300,000 rebels were all scattered.

Under the city of Nanjing, Emperor Zhu Cicheng of the Ming Dynasty also dared to go out of the city directly with 20,000 Ying Long's army to confront King Lu's nearly 250,000 troops, and also defeated King Lu's nearly 250,000 army.

There was also a third army of the Yinglong army in Liangguang, and 5,000 people defeated King Gui's army of 60,000

in Hubei

in Zhejiang and Fujian

The achievements of the Ying Long Army described in it are really shocking.

"Could it be that today's Ying Long Army is already stronger than during the Battle of Xuzhou!" Dolgon's anger was as much as it was terrified.

"Ying Longjun also seems to be carrying a field cannon that can follow the rapid march of the army, and it is even more powerful than the red-clothed cannon!" Dolgon's eyes were a little red, and he almost gritted his teeth to say this.

This is what really frightens Dolgon the most, the field cannon that can follow the rapid march of the army, how frightening this is, Dolgon can faintly feel why the Ying Long army will be so strong in this battle to clear the rebels, and also faintly understand why Zhu Ci dared to do such a shocking thing without hesitation in advance, it turned out that the strengthened Ying Long army was Zhu Ci's reliance.
