Chapter 856 Relocation of the Land

After the decision to change the land and move to Taiwan came out, Wang Yan himself took the lead first, replacing his fiefdom in Huguang to Taiwan, and giving priority to doubling the title of Dayuan and other places that had been initially developed to Tang and Lu, but the two kings obviously did not want to help Wang Yan lead the rhythm, and did not express their position on this.

After Wang Yan's policy came out, no one responded, which embarrassed the Chu Party cabinet.

Not only that, but even the refugees in the shantytowns in Jiangbei did not give him the face of the regent, and there were even riots and refused to go to Taiwan by boat.

The Chu Party faction, because of its participation in the Nanyang trade, has obtained a lot of benefits, and its concept has changed, and it is not particularly exclusive to going to sea, even if it is not a big deal to go to Nanyang, but for other regions, especially refugees who have fled from the north, going to Nanyang and Taiwan is no different from going to death.

The Chinese relocated to the land, the place where they live is the center of the world, the Central Plains, what is Taiwan, the barbaric land, not even the place where the prisoners are exiled, where they went, can they come back alive?

The city of Nanjing, the policy of relocating feudal domains and resettling refugees to Taiwan has been issued for half a month, and the Dutch envoys have arrived in Nanjing, but there is still no progress in things.

At present, there are still more than 20 princes of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to Chu and Gui who exchanged their land for Taiwan, other Tang, Lu, Gui, Yu, Xiang, Deng, Zhou, Yi, Liao and other relatives did not go to the household department and the Ministry of Rites to handle the land exchange matters.

The burden of the clan, the Ming Dynasty must get rid of it, this is a little far-sighted, can reach a consensus between the government and the opposition, even if Tang and Lu are in charge, they also want to reform the clan, but the host of this reform is not them, and the two immediately got into harmony.

In the Chu Palace, Wang Yan was pacing in the study, and there were several henchmen sitting on the side.

"Your Highness, what is the attitude of King Tang and King Lu?" Wang Fuzhi asked.

Wang Yan stopped and pursed his lips, "Lone talked to them for a while, and they also knew that the affairs of the clan had to be dealt with, but they didn't help persuade the clan. These two highnesses, if you don't stumble on the lonely envoy and give a black hand, it's not bad, where will they help us. ”

"This is obviously a thing that is beneficial to the world, but why is it so difficult to do?" Gu Yanwu frowned.

Every dynasty faces a variety of problems, and those in power don't know what the problems are? I guess I know, it's just that it's difficult to change, and the atmosphere is like this, so I don't want to cut the meat.

"It's difficult, this matter must be done!" Wang Yan clenched his fists slightly, then turned to look at Gu Yanwu and said, "How about the talks with the Dutch over there in the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"I'm about to report to Your Highness!" The official of the Ministry of Rites is Gu Yuanjing, who is a subordinate of the Tang Domain, and it is inconvenient for Wang Yan to command, so he put Gu Yanwu in the Ministry of Rites as a left attendant, he heard Wang Yan ask, and hurriedly saluted and replied: "This time the Dutch are very well-behaved, the conditions we proposed, the Dutch did not raise any objections, and the agreement has been signed." ”

After Gu Yanwu finished speaking, he thought for a while, and added: "Your Highness, now that the Dutch have been withdrawn from Taiwan, the imperial court still needs to send the population to Taiwan as soon as possible, if it is timely, you can still plant a season of rice this year, otherwise the imperial court will have to raise refugees for more than half a year!" ”

Originally, Yangzhou could be hit in the second half of the year, but since the end of last year, there have been refugees in the north who have fled the famine, and now the refugees in Jiangbei are close to one million, until the recent summer harvest, there are fewer people fleeing the famine, and these refugees have consumed a large number of food, cloth, tents and other resources of the imperial court, so that the speed of the imperial court's preparation for war has been delayed.

Wang Fuzhi heard Gu Yanwu say this, and explained: "This is already being done by the household department and the official department, but the refugees are relatively resistant to going to Taiwan, and the military department may need to intervene to complete the resettlement at that time." ”

"It's so serious?" actually asked the military department to intervene, Wang Yan was slightly stunned, and then his face sank.

Wang Fuzhi nodded and said gloomily: "The household department has lost the boat, but the refugees are unwilling to get on the boat, and there is a conflict. ”

"Is there a figure of King Lu in this?" Wang Yan suddenly asked.

Jiangbei is the territory of Zhejiang, and the resettlement of refugees has reached the point where the cooperation of the military department is needed, so Wang Yan naturally wonders if someone has stumbled him again and deliberately instigated the refugees, making his decision to resettle the refugees impossible to implement.

Wang Fuzhi couldn't reach this, and Yu Taichu, who was sitting at the end, got up and said: "Back to His Royal Highness, according to Jinyiwei's report in Jiangbei, there was no sign of the involvement of King Lu's faction, and Zhang Mingzhen also sent troops to help the household officials stabilize order. The reluctance of Jiangbei refugees to get on the ship should be spontaneous, but the clans of Nanjing City, which have often gathered recently, seem to be intent on resisting His Highness's decree to move the feudal domain into Taiwan! ”

After Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but groan slightly, waved his hand to let Yu Taichu sit down, and then walked back to his seat.

If the two kings of Tang and Lu didn't intervene and didn't have their shadows involved, then things would be much easier, how could a group of powerless clans fight him, and the key to him was that he was worried about the nearly a million refugees.

Wang Yan straightened down, glanced at a few people, and then ordered: "To resettle refugees, it is better not to send troops, these refugees are already emotionally unstable, and in case of conflict, it is not beautiful to provoke civil unrest." ”

Wang Yan looked at Wang Fuzhi and said: "Those refugees, what do they think in their hearts, the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households should know more, do the work of a prestigious village elder, and don't act too roughly." ”

"Your Highness, these refugees have fled from the north, and their impression of the imperial court is still in the Chongzhen period, and they don't trust the imperial court very much. The officials in charge of resettlement said that they were all talking, but the refugees did not believe it, believing that Taiwan was barren and could not live, and that the imperial court was disgusted with them and wanted to exile them to the island, but they were still self-defeating. ”

Wang Yan couldn't help leaning forward, some of the problems were understood, and at the same time he realized the seriousness of the problem, first, the refugees wanted the land, if they were settled in Jiangnan and Huguang, it would be okay to say, but if they had to send them to Taiwan, they didn't even know where Taiwan was, and the refugees didn't trust the imperial court.

"This situation is dangerous!" Wang Yan became serious, "Tell the resettlement officials that they must be cautious, and besides, they must strictly prevent others from inciting to avoid riots." ”

"The lower officials will give orders to let the resettled officials be cautious." Wang Fuzhi saluted: "However, the matter of resettlement cannot be delayed any longer, first, the financial consumption of the household department is too large, and second, the refugees are not allowed to be resettled for a long time, which is easy to cause turmoil. The lower official suggested that if necessary, it was necessary to use the army. ”

Several people in the hall discussed one after another, and they couldn't move their words, and the mobilization of troops was easy to intensify the contradictions between the government and the people, and this was really a hot problem.

Gu Yanwu said a few words to Chen Bangyan next to him, stood up and arched his hand: "Your Highness, the lower officials think that they still have to let the clan go to the island first, and the clan will go, and the concerns of the refugees will definitely be dispelled!" ”

Wang Yanzheng locked his eyebrows, thinking about the solution, hearing him say this, his eyes lit up, if the clan went to the island, if the refugees still didn't listen to the arrangement, they would really be a group of people.

"That's right! Let the clan move into Taiwan first, forcing them is less risky than forcing the people. Wang Fuzhi agreed.

The clan has enjoyed more than 270 years of blessings, and the people below have long been dissatisfied, since the beginning of the Jiajing period, the civil official group has called for the reform of the clan, why should they be born to be nurtured, and we have been studying hard for decades, and we can't even support our family.

The civil officials mainly want to change, the anger of the people is even greater, the clan occupies a large area of land among the people, lives a life of arrogance and lasciviousness, and Li Zicheng cooks and kills the Fu King, which is also a manifestation of the accumulation of social contradictions.

Wang Yan nodded, compared to nearly a million refugees, tens of thousands of clans are indeed easier to deal with, "Isn't the clan unwilling to move to Taiwan?" Let the household department issue an order, limit them to the household department within half a month, to the household department to change the title deed, if they do not do it within the time limit, the title deed will be invalid, and the court will not make up the seal in the future. ”
