Stinging season.

Zhu Shun deliberately chose this solar term that sounded the first thunder in a year.

Zhu Shun, Prince Zhu Cihong, and Zheng Chenggong and a large number of students from the Army Martial Arts Hall rode Liaodong horses to Miyun County.

Man Danchen and some other radical army martial arts students also shouted all the way.

Isn't land reform just murder, where is the use of the industrial marquis and the crown prince Zhu Cihong to go over in person.

But this is only a superficial cognition, and the real purpose of land reform is to win people's hearts.

Through the recitation of the biography of Taizu over and over again, the pattern of the whole person has been completely different, and he stands on the shoulders of giants to see the world.

Understand that this winner of the hearts of the people wins the hearts of the people of the world, not the hearts of the so-called bureaucrats and gentry, but the hearts of the common people.

This land reform has two purposes, one is to recover the land so that everyone can eat, and also make the treasury of the Ming Dynasty about to collapse stronger step by step.

The second is to use land reform to truly win the hearts of the people, so that the people can become the backing of the Ming Dynasty, instead of thinking about rebellion all day long because of the oppression of the bureaucrats and gentry.

After a few days of long travel, Zhu Shun and the crown prince Zhu Cihong and others came to Lianghe Village.

This is the southernmost and largest village in Miyun County, inhabited by most of the bureaucratic gentry in Miyun County.

Lianghe Village is located at the confluence of the Chaohe River and another large river, both of which originate in the mountains north of Miyun and eventually meet in Lianghe Village in Miyun County.

It forms a tidal river with a volume no less than the Yongding River, flows to Tongzhou in the south, and finally joins the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

This has created a rich land in Lianghe Village, which has the most irrigated fields in the entire Miyun County, and is the richest piece of land in Miyun County.

Zhu Shun chose this place as a breakthrough in land reform, which has the meaning of making some places rich first.

As long as the land reform is completed in Lianghe Village, it will be much easier to solve problems elsewhere.

Near Lianghe Village, Prince Zhu Cihong looked at the fertile fields covered with ditches, as far as the eye could see.

I couldn't help but feel the urge to compose a poem in my heart, which shows how fertile the land in Lianghe Village is.

But when he thought that these fertile fields, which used to be all military households, were now all taken by the bureaucrats and gentry, he did not have much heart to compose poetry.

These lands are still the land of military families who have died in battles for generations and many families for the sake of border stability.

The crown prince Zhu Cilang will not only compose poems, but also open a grand spring society here to celebrate.

On the border of Lianghe Village, there is a small boundary stone, only the height of a normal person's calf.

A handsome young official, who was much darker and thinner, stood quietly by the boundary stone, holding a small donkey beside him.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong jumped off the Liaodong horse and walked over with a smile on his face: "Presumably Mr. is Zhu Qianshi." ”

This person is none other than Zhu Shun's younger brother Zhu Yu, because he has grown more than 1,000 catties of grain per mu in Miyun County, and is called Zhu Qianshi by the people.

This is a compliment, and it is the highest compliment that ordinary people can think of.

Because in the hearts of the common people, nothing is as important as one acre of land can produce a thousand catties of grain, and if there is another hundred acres of land, it is worth dying in this life.

This is why there is a praise from Zhu Qianshi.

Not everyone in the world has seen the emperor and the prince, as calm as Zhu Shun, and can talk and laugh calmly.

Zhu Yu looked at the future Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty so closely, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous, more nervous: "Zhu Yu, I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The crown prince Zhu Cihong liked this Zhu Yu who could grow thousands of catties of grain in his heart, and his smile became even stronger: "Lone is a student of your brother, according to his seniority, he is still your junior, Zhu Qianshi doesn't have to be so restrained." ”

A sentence of chatting about the relationship like a homely conversation, Zhu Yu was even more honestly afraid, he was not like those children of official eunuchs who had been smooth sailing all their lives, and came to a donkey down the slope.

Instead, he was more respectful: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please, the minister has prepared tea in the pavilion." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has worked hard all the way, rest first, and then tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about the situation in Miyun County."

Zhu Shun is very satisfied with his younger brother Zhu Yu's official prudence, if it is replaced by the son of an official eunuch who has already gotten off the donkey down the slope and considers himself the prince's own family.

This is a taboo for officials, and the crown prince Zhu Cihong looks down on Zhu Yu, so he said that he is sincere but more of a word to buy people's hearts.

If you really think of yourself as the prince's family, you will be very wrong, and the good first impression left on the prince will be gone.

Zhu Shun wants to be a saint in the future, just like a saint like Sage Kong, he wants to be an industrial saint.

No matter how many generations have changed, they must first come to worship him, an industrial saint.

Once the Son of Heaven is no matter what, as long as he dares to have the slightest disrespect for Zhu Shun, he will come down from the emperor's throne because of the boiling public opinion.

In this way, it will last forever and create a family that will last forever.

But now that he has not been canonized, Zhu Shun needs to have his own voice in the imperial court, and he has great hopes for his younger brother Zhu Yu.

Inside the gazebo three or four miles away.

Zhu Shun, Prince Zhu Cihong, and Zhu Yu sat in the pavilion, and Zheng Chenggong and other students of the Army Martial Arts Hall were on guard with Doumi-style rifles to prevent anyone from approaching this pavilion.

When the crown prince Zhu Cihong drank a bowl of tea, Zhu Yu didn't say it himself, took out an account book that recorded the situation in Miyun, and handed it to the prince Zhu Cihong.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong put down the white porcelain bowl in his hand and opened the account book.

Miyun County is headed by three squires, but these three squires sit on seventy percent of the county's rich fields.

These three squires were led by the head of the three-class six-room household, and the head of the household happened to live in Lianghe Village.

The officials of the three classes and six rooms of the county government in the Ming Dynasty have repeatedly ordered that 'hereditary' is not allowed on more than one occasion, and even cracked down on this kind of behavior of controlling the place many times.

However, as far as the household is concerned, it is necessary to assist the county magistrate in carrying out various cumbersome affairs such as the population of the land, the measurement of the land, the sale of money and grain, the collection of miscellaneous taxes, and the inventory of house numbers.

How many fields, how many lands, how many fields, how many fields, how many tricks, and how many concealed were hidden by the local bureaucrats and gentry and the common people, only the heads of the houses who have controlled the fish scale books for generations know how many people know.

The magistrates are generally outsiders, and where will the local squires tell the magistrates of the countryside about these things involving their lives, and the magistrates are basically unable to sort out the cumbersome names in them.

If you want to govern the place well, you can only rely on the local intertwined household cases, and the details of these county land are the capital accumulated from generation to generation.

It will not be passed on to outsiders at all, it will only be passed on to the son, and it must be the eldest son of the long house.

He who has no son is passed on to his nephews and nephews, but never to outsiders.

This has also caused the small officials in three classes and six rooms to become hereditary from generation to generation, after all, whether it is transferred from other towns or exchanged for other people in the local area, they are not clear about the details of a county's grain tax.
