"Caomin Lin San, Bin Hong, Dong Yangao, Tang Clan, meet Your Highness."

Lin San, who had been trained by the chamberlain for a day, was top-heavy even if his heart was beating like thunder. still according to the teachings of the inner servant, as soon as he entered the door, he knelt down and bowed, not daring to look up at all.

Only Tang Sai'er couldn't help it, secretly glanced up at Zhu Zhanji, and hurriedly lowered his head.

I don't know if it's because the people above are too powerful, or because of the identity of His Royal Highness Taisun, Tang Sai'er, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is also a little weak at this time.

This is Your Highness? The emperor in the future? Is it he who transported grain to Shandong and saved countless people?

Before the experience of her parents being forced to die and her husband being beaten to death, Tang Sai'er was not the female thief who had given up everything.

Facing this imperial grandson of the Ming Empire, she deeply realized the gap between heaven and earth, and had a feeling of self-shame.

She couldn't help but retract her feet, letting the cloth skirt cover the cotton shoes that had been torn.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the few people in front of him with low eyebrows, and sighed in his heart. It was these rural people who looked extremely ordinary, but when Daming was at his most prominent, they bit off a large piece of flesh and blood on Daming.

And their rebellion was not just a rebellion, but also a beginning for civil rebellion for hundreds of years to come.

The influence of the White Lotus Sect started from them and developed in full swing.

Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.

"Flat ......" Zhu Zhanji said lightly, carefully looking at each of them, especially Tang Sai'er, who claimed to be Tang'er.

However, there was no lewdness in his gaze, even if Lin San looked up and saw his eyes, he would not think that Zhu Zhanji had any intentions for his wife.

Some are just curious, Lin San secretly thought, this is because His Highness has never seen a country woman. This time, the five silver dollars have not been spent, if I can save a little, I will go back to Shandong, and buy a piece of cloth for my mother-in-law to make a good dress.

"Sure enough, they are all heroes, but no matter how high their martial arts are, they can only grovel in the face of injustice. Lin San, have you read the book, tell me why? ”

Lin San glanced up at Zhu Zhanji, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the court is powerful, and we grass-headed people can only follow it." ”

Zhu Zhanji didn't say whether he was right or wrong, and asked again: "It is said that you have formed a party and a society in your hometown, and there are hundreds of athletes. Then why did Zunyue suffer injustice, but he didn't rise up? ”

Lin San was frightened and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. "Your Highness Mingjian, Caomin and others have all practiced martial arts with their father-in-law, so they have a connection, and they have never dared to form a party. Even if his father-in-law encountered injustice, the grass people also wanted to go to the capital to transfer the envoy to complain, and they didn't dare to oppose it. ”

"Get up, sit down and talk."

Lin San still wanted to say that he didn't dare to sit, but he thought of what the old eunuch taught. He didn't dare to keep his mouth shut, and according to the old eunuch's explanation, the four of them sat in the last four seats of the row of chairs on the right.

Zhu Zhanji said at this time: "Sit closer, I don't want to say something to shout." ”

Yang Zhangde, who was sitting at the top of Zhu Zhanji's left hand, also said: "Sit up, Your Highness is benevolent and righteous, and he is not a man-eating tiger." ”

After they sat down, Zhu Zhanji said: "I have already learned some about your affairs, and I will also explain some things to you clearly when I came here today." ”

Several people didn't dare to answer, looked at Zhu Zhanji and waited for him to continue. Zhu Zhanji hooked his fingers, and Jin Kuo behind him took a step forward with the account book, opened it and said: "Your Highness went to sea on the sixteenth day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Yongle and returned to Beijing on the seventeenth day of the winter month, and he has not been in Daming for the past three years. But when His Royal Highness was leaving, he once explained that the grain road in Shandong and Hebei did not stop. Rice crops are harvested three times a year in various parts of the South Seas, and grain is abundant.

In Luzon alone, there is now more than 200,000 stone of surplus grain per year, and the cost of transporting grain is nothing to my Ming Dynasty. I have here a record of grain transportation from the fifteenth to the seventeenth year of Yongle, and every month there are grain ships arriving in Dengzhou Mansion and Laizhou Mansion, that is to say, the grain of the imperial court has never stopped. ”

Only then did Zhu Zhanji say: "The matter has not been found out yet, and I don't want to tell you anything about punishing corrupt officials now." Just let you know that Lone was also blinded, which is Lone's dereliction of duty and shame on the people of Shandong. ”

Fortunately, Zhu Zhanji has not yet ascended to the throne, otherwise this kind of crime would be a crime.

Tang Sai'er and the three of them still don't understand the curves and curves in this, but Lin San understands! He knelt down again and shouted on the top of his forehead: "Your Highness has been deceived by traitors, and the sin is not in Your Highness." ”

Zhu Zhanji waved his head, Li Liang stepped forward to help Lin San, saw that his forehead was swollen, and exclaimed: "It's a loyal and courageous scholar!" Your Highness has seen thousands of miles, and since you know about this matter this time, you naturally want to give you justice, and also give justice to the people of Shandong. ”

At this moment, the other three people understood, and they all got up and knelt down. "Your Highness is discerning, and the grass people thank Your Highness."

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand. "Sit down and talk, don't kneel around. This prostration, you respect me, and I will naturally uphold justice for you. ”

He changed his words and asked: "Shandong and other places have suffered disasters year after year, and if the Yellow River is not calm, it will be difficult to live a good life, but the imperial court is now encouraging free immigration, why do you have to stay in Shandong to be poor when you have a body of martial arts?" ”

This time, the four of them were a little confused. Lin San was a little sober and replied: "Your Highness, there are immigration notices in Caomin's hometown and other places, but they can only immigrate to the northwest. Jiayue has been to the northwest a few times, and it is all sandy soil and cannot grow food, so it is better to stay in Shandong than to go there. As long as there is no flooding, all parts of Shandong can still have enough to eat. ”

Zhu Zhanji understood when he came to the throne, this is a typical policy at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and the will of the imperial court was deliberately distorted by local officials.

There is only one restriction on the immigration of the Ming Dynasty, that is, among the ordinary people, the immigrants south of the Yangtze River can only go south, and the immigrants north of the Yangtze River can only go north.

This is because southerners can't stand the cold of the north. Let the southerners emigrate to the north, and they will probably freeze to death in an era when there is no heating, not even enough warm clothing.

And now there are few people in the north, in order to prevent everyone from running south, resulting in no one in the north, so the people in the north can only migrate to the north.

But apart from this limit, there are no other restrictions.

And according to the climatic characteristics of different regions, the characteristics of products, immigrants to different regions, the size of the land distributed, and the amount of food are all different.

For example, the Han people are now encouraged to migrate to the North Sea, that is, around Lake Baikal, as long as they are willing to immigrate there, the land of the Ming Dynasty is given hundreds of acres.

In addition to the land, food, and seeds, there are also differences, all of which are suitable for local cultivation, and there is no way for people to live anywhere.

However, Putai County deliberately demarcated a place that was inferior to Shandong for the people to emigrate, and the people were naturally reluctant to go.

This kind of distortion of policy has been repeatedly banned in later generations, let alone in this era.

Sometimes, if you make a mistake in one word, the meaning of the entire policy changes, not to mention the intention of going against the top.

This is also easy to understand, because in this day and age, population is a resource, and population is a tax. There are fewer people in the locals, there are fewer people to pay taxes, and officials are subject to performance appraisals.

Therefore, even if the people are poor, it is not far away that the people will leave, which is the idea of most grassroots officials.

In addition to areas like Zhejiang and Fujian, the population is dense, there are many mountains and few places, and the clan contradictions are relatively large, so the immigration is implemented relatively quickly.

But in Jiangxi, Lianghu, and even the northern Central Plains, officials do not support immigration policies.

It was not the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the population was several times that of now, and large tracts of land were occupied by landlords and officials, and the land of ordinary people became less and less.

It is now the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has divided his production into households, and Zhu Di is also vigorously cracking down on land encroachment. No matter how poor ordinary people are, their families have a few acres of land, and every family is a landlord.

Most of those who have now become tenants are forced to sell their land because of illness.

In addition, because today's Ming Dynasty vigorously develops industry and commerce, and earns more money by working than farming, some people who know a little craftsmanship will also sell their land and move to the city to live.

As long as the man has a stable job, the woman will do something casually, and the money will be more than farming.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji is mainly to blame for such a situation, because he brought back a large amount of grain from Nanyang, which caused the grain price to be very low, so the people's enthusiasm for farming was not high.

But this is also a difficulty that must be faced, and we must not watch the people in the affected areas starve to death, and we must not watch the officials and people start to encroach on the land one by one because of the high income from farming.

Therefore, suppressing food prices is not a good life for the people for the current Ming Dynasty, but it can maintain stability for a longer time.

Of course, with the development of society, various policies need to be adjusted at any time. When low grain prices affect stability and it is better to raise grain prices, Zhu Zhanji will not hesitate to adopt grain protection purchase prices.

Now, in the face of the problems that have arisen in Shandong and other places, Zhu Zhanji has an irrepressible murderous aura.

The collusion of officials from top to bottom to embezzle the grain that should be distributed to the people is a major event that will cause civil unrest.

And the officials disobeyed the government and misinterpreted the policies of the imperial court, which would also delay many of his plans.

Zhu Zhanji also wanted to let the Han people go all the way west, to occupy the Ural Mountains, and to limit the future of Russia to Europe. However, at the current rate, I am afraid that Zhu Zhanji's goal will not be achieved in a hundred years.

Of course, he didn't need to tell Lin San and them about these plans, but it didn't mean that he couldn't use Lin San's power now.

He didn't know if Tang Sai'er had received the inheritance of the White Lotus Sect at this time, this power was the source of trouble for many rulers, but for Zhu Zhanji, he dared to use it with confidence.

Because the White Lotus Sect originated from Buddhism, in the history of hundreds of years of development, it has been influenced by Confucianism and Taoism, forming a special pan-faith group.

It's like a mask, both men and women, young and old, can wear on their faces.

However, the core of this sect is still Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and it is a sect that maintains the cultural traditions of the Han people.

Therefore, although they can cause chaos in the inland areas, if they are used to expand their territory, they will definitely not turn it into an alien country.

Where they are, where is China, no one can change them.

The current White Lotus Sect is too scattered, and the indiscriminate number of people have trampled on it, otherwise, Zhu Zhanji would still want to support the White Lotus Sect and go to the whole world to preach against Christ and the Green Sect.

He can't be sure about others, but Tang Sai'er is still a very capable woman.

She is a woman, her parents and husband are dead, and she has attracted thousands of people to rebel with her, and has formed a huge force, which most men can't match.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji wanted them to develop all the way to the north and all the way to the west.

Use them to expand the territory, as long as he can establish a foothold there, he is not afraid that it will be occupied by Russia.

Zhu Zhanji said to Yang Zhangde: "Yang Zhangde, you tell them briefly about the imperial court's immigration policy, Li Liang, go and get a map of northern Xinjiang." ”

When Li Liang went to get the map, Yang Zhangde briefly told them about the new immigration regulations promulgated by the imperial court last year.

When they knew that they could freely choose where to go, no matter where they went, the court would support them, and they woke up one by one like a dream. If it weren't for Zhu Zhanji's attendance, they probably wouldn't be able to help but scold their parents.

When Li Liang brought a map of Asia, Zhu Zhanji first pointed to Lin San the location of Qingzhou, where they lived, and then pointed his finger to the location of Lake Baikal. "This is the Beihai where Su Wu shepherds sheep, if you are willing to go, according to the population, there is no problem with a person dividing a few hundred acres of land, but I am afraid that you will not be able to plant.

Although the climate is cold, there are endless forests, vast grasslands, and all kinds of animals. Whether it is food or meat, there will be no shortage, and those furs should be wanted by the dignitaries and nobles here in Tianfu. ”

But Zhu Zhanji's finger moved westward again, and finally landed on a place in the southeastern Ural Mountains. "However, I want you to go to this place, if you are willing to go here, I will not only send soldiers to send you there, but also willing to hand over a gold mine there to you for development, you can keep thirty percent, only pay thirty percent to the imperial court, and the other thirty percent as military expenses."

When Lin Sanyi heard the gold mine, his spirits perked up, and he looked back at Tang Sai'er, and both of them nodded lightly.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji didn't just say it nicely, pointed to the map and said: "This map is close, but this place is already 20,000 miles away from my Ming Dynasty, even if I give you enough horses, you will have to walk for several months on the road." It's much colder there than Shandong, and in winter, it can snow in the second half of the year. ”

Lin San was not tempted by Zhu Zhanji's words, and asked carefully, "Your Highness, why are you so good to us?" ”

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said, "Recently, Lone has been thinking about developing the Northland. But it's not easy to develop there. Let's not talk about the cold, it's too far away from my Daming. And although there are no aborigines there, when the Mengyuan people marched west, there were their descendants left there.

If you want to develop it, you need people first, and secondly, you need people who can fight. I saw that you were physically strong, and that you also had a group of folks in your hometown, which met my needs for immigrants, so I remembered this.

I'll tell you about the court's support for you. As many people as you go, I will support you as many Mongolian horses as you go, this is one of them. Second, I will not only issue weapons to each of you, but I will also support you with fifty firearms. Thirdly, when you are settled, I will send soldiers there to help you build the city and supply you with seeds, so that you will have no worries there.

My only request is that the more people there are, the better, and if there are less than 500 people, don't mention it. A small tribe of Mengyuan may wipe you out all at once. ”

Lin San could still hold his breath, but that Bin Hong couldn't wait to ask, "Your Highness, can we take our family with us and provide horses?" ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "But I don't recommend you to take your family with you in the first year, because the first year is the most difficult, everything depends on you, and it is best to be all young and strong."

You have settled down there, send someone back to report the news, and the imperial court will arrange for a group of military families to move there, and at this time, it will be safer to arrange all your family members there.

Moreover, the imperial court has sent people to prepare to go to the northwest to unite with the countries there, and if the negotiations go well, you will not be robbed in the future. ”

Lin San asked: "Your Highness, the grass people understand what you mean, that is, you want us to go and occupy the place first, and then the army will pass." The army is gone, and we are still in their hands? How can the gold mine promised by His Highness be considered ours? ”

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand, pointed to the map and said, "Look at it, how many places in this world still need to be occupied?" No matter how many people I have in the Ming Dynasty, there are too few at this time. The men and horses sent to garrison will only be less than your young and strong, not more than you. There are orders from the imperial court, and their numbers are even smaller, are you still afraid that you won't be able to keep the gold mines? ”

The location Zhu Zhanji refers to is the location of Yekaterinburg, the third largest city in Russia in later generations, which is the dividing line between Asia and Europe and is also an important resource center in central Russia.

Now it is still a forest, except for the time when the Mengyuan people conquered Europe, a supply point was built there, and now there is no one there at all.

After the Mongol Yuan was divided, it is now the location of the Golden Horde. But the core of the Golden Horde was in later Moscow, southern Russia and Kazakhstan.

The Ming wanted to garrison troops there, but the attitude of the Golden Horde was unclear, and of course it was necessary to prevent them from attacking.

But a place that they themselves don't care about, plus the Ming wants to use troops against the Timurid country, if they really want to fight, the daimyo doesn't mind and takes the opportunity to teach them a lesson.

The only problem is that it is too far away from Daming, it is difficult to control, and the construction is also very difficult. If it weren't for the people who were willing to develop there, and the court alone, no amount of resources would be able to supply there.

In addition to gunpowder and weapons, it is not cost-effective to transport anything else from the Ming Dynasty, and it has to rely on local materials, so it is necessary to lure a group of people to be pioneers in the past.

Lin Shan knew very well that he had no room for bargaining, and in the face of Zhu Zhanji, the grandson, he also had a passion for dying for his confidant.

This is the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor in the future. Don't say just let them build a new home, even if it is to let him go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, he is duty-bound.

So he knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness has the heart to arrange a road for Lin San to soar, if Lin Shan talks nonsense, it will be too ignorant." For the sake of Daming, for the sake of His Royal Highness, Lin San is willing to go there to guard the country for my Daming. ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Your surname is Lin, and your wife's surname is Tang, if you build a city there, you will name it Lin Tang...... This name is unlucky, so call it Tang Lin City, and the descendants of your Lin family are all city lords! ”

Lin San was a little stunned, he looked back at his wife, and when he saw Tang Sai'er bending down and kneeling, he hurriedly thanked him: "The grass people must go to the soup and fight the fire, and they will not give up." ”

Zhu Zhanji patted him on the shoulder and said: "Open the city for me in the Ming Dynasty, and on the day when Tanglin City is built, I will not be stingy with a hereditary earl......"

This is another big cake, Lin San didn't expect that Zhu Zhanji would be so generous, his eyes were red with excitement, and he couldn't speak.

On the contrary, Tang Sai'er has always been calmer, kneeling on the ground Yingying asked: "Your Highness, who should I ask for this Mongolian horse, weapon, and grass people, and when should I ask for it?" When should the grass people and their entourage set off, and who will lead the way? ”

Zhu Zhanji looked at Yang Zhangde, and he immediately understood: "In the future, I Jinyiwei should contact you, and when you are ready, I will also lead the way for you." ”

Zhu Zhanji also said: "Weapons, when you leave Shandong and arrive at the Beimingshan Copper Mine, you will ask the eunuchs there for it, and I will explain it." In addition, Jinyiwei will escort you back to Shandong, and the injustices you have encountered in Shandong will definitely be investigated to the end and justice will be given to you. ”

asked them to send them out, but Zhu Zhanji sat there and sighed. Jin Yiwei was deprived of the right to try the case at the beginning, and now it is difficult to come back from the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Yesterday, Gu Zuomian reluctantly passed the court meeting and replaced Wu Zhong as the secretary of the criminal department, and Wu Zhong returned to the Ministry of Industry to continue to serve as the secretary and manage the house.

Gu Zuoneng served as the secretary of the Criminal Department, but the vacated position of Ying Tianfu Yin was held by Zhao Xuan, who was pushed out by the civil official.

Zhu Zhanji had a good impression of Zhao Zhen, he once served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but because of the Han ideology, he looked down on foreigners, and treated the Korean envoys rudely when they sent them back to China and left Beijing.

This made Zhu Di furious, thinking that he had lost Daming's face, demoted him to serve as a squire in the military department.

Zhao Yi is also good at military affairs, but because Zhu Zhanji stuffed Huang Fu into the military department as the right scholar, and there is also a very old Fang Bin who is also very old as the left book, there is no position, so Zhao Li has been serving as a waiter.

In the fifteenth year of Yongle, his mother died, and he returned to his hometown to worry about it, and he only returned to the capital last winter.

Such a qualification is old enough. A square person is the Yin of Ying Tianfu, and Zhu Zhanji can still accept it.

But whether it is Gu Zuo in the Criminal Department or Zhao Qi in the position of Ying Tianfu Yin, he can't count on it for the time being.

Relying on Jinyiwei alone to find out the case in Shandong will not be easy.

And Zhu Zhanji didn't want to delay, and wanted to take advantage of Zhu Di's failure to leave Beijing, and turn this matter into an iron case.

If Zhu Di leaves, it will not be easy for him to deal with any minister.

This case is actually very easy to find out, so much grain will never run away with long legs, whether it is the transfer of grain or the disposal of grain, there are traces to follow.

Moreover, Zhu Zhanji does not plan to take the ordinary path, he wants to target a person he has long been unable to see, that is, Ma Qi, the lieutenant in charge of grain distribution.
