"But what?"

Seeing that Zhao Shizhen hesitated, Zhu Changluo snorted coldly and asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Highness, although the three families of Liu Sun and Wu are removed, but their remnants are still not very peaceful, in recent days, they have been connected in series, and the sweet potatoes promoted by His Highness have begun to spread rumors again, saying that this thing is a thing that hurts the land, and the land will be desertified after planting, and it is impossible to continue to grow food for three or five years, and now there are people who have begun to shovel sweet potatoes after planting......"

In fact, Zhao Shizhen can't be blamed for this, Zhu Changluo is clear about how much he attaches importance to the cultivation of sweet potatoes, but it is precisely because he is clear that he will secretly scold this group of people for looking for death.

Sure enough, when he heard that someone had a bad idea about sweet potatoes again, Zhu Changluo suddenly frowned, and his face sank.

"What about Li Wenhua? What does he eat? Just let the rumors spread? And the sweet potato compensation that the king gave him? Did he swallow it all privately? ”

You must know that Zhu Changluo had expected that it would not be so easy for the people to accept sweet potatoes, so he had already allocated the silver to the Dangtu County Yazhong, and compensated the people according to the amount of 500 catties per mu, so as to relieve their worries.

According to his expectations, with such a layer of protection, this matter will not change no matter what!

But who would have thought that there were still people who had a wrong idea about this matter, the ripening period of sweet potatoes is about one hundred and twenty days, calculate the time, and now sweet potatoes are the best time to grow, as long as this month passes, you can basically harvest before the New Year, but now something is wrong.

You know, today's sweet potatoes are still seedlings, and all that comes out of the ground are small pieces, and now if you dig them out, it will be in vain!

"Back to Your Highness, this matter is actually no wonder Li Zhixian!"

Zhao Shizhen secretly pinched a cold sweat for Li Wenhua, he knew that as long as it involved sweet potatoes, his Royal Highness would definitely not be calm.

"Don't dare to deceive Your Highness, only thirty percent of the sweet potato compensation money you allocated has been distributed now, and the remaining seventy percent has been urgently stopped by Li Zhi County! Because when Li Zhixian distributed these silver taels, he found that many of the land was hung in the names of the gentry's slaves, and did not belong to the tenants' land, that is to say, the silver could not reach the hands of the cultivated people at all, and finally flowed into the pockets of those gentry.

But in this way, the people were even more instigated by those gentry, feeling that the county government was weak-hearted, and they began to panic, and even some of them were instigated by ill-intentioned people, who had already planned to pull out the sweet potatoes in the field and replant winter wheat. ”

After listening to Zhao Shizhen's explanation, Zhu Changluo slowly calmed down.

Not enough, he didn't expect that things would become so tricky, no wonder the Ming Dynasty fell apart in just a few decades, and it turned out that this land annexation had reached such a serious level.

Of course he understood what Zhao Shizhen meant, this was a trick that these gentry often did, the county government could control the amount of land under the names of the gentry, but they could hang the land in the name of the domestic slaves, in fact, it was still these gentry who were manipulating.

And his compensation was distributed according to the land, that is, the tenants who really cultivated the land could not get this silver, and this silver could only flow into the hands of the gentry.

It's just that in Zhu Changluo's expectation, although the land annexation was serious, it should be alleviated after Zhang Juzheng's reform, but he didn't expect that Zhang Juzheng had only been dead for 20 years, and this monster had opened its fangs again.

In the final analysis, the most important reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was that ninety percent of the country's peasants owned less than one percent of the land for cultivation, and the rest of the land was divided among various classes, so that in the Xiaoice period, a large area of cultivated land would fail, and the powerful dynasty would also be destroyed.

And what's even more tricky is that for these gentry groups, it can't be as simple as treating the three families of Liu Sun and Wu, the three families of Liu Sun and Wu are just three nouveau riche, relying on the power of Liu Shouyou, so that they can sit big in the city!

However, although these gentry forces today may not be as rich and powerful as the three families of Liu, Sun and Wu, they have taken root here for generations, and their relationships are intertwined.

And more importantly, the gentry and gentry, they are not ordinary gentry, the so-called "Shi" refers to the career.

That is to say, these gentry have all had officials in their families, and to put it bluntly, only those who have made meritorious contributions to their old Zhu family and retired are qualified to be called gentry.

Once they catch up with the official class, it means that they have a connection with the civil officials, and the civil official group of the Ming Dynasty is notoriously difficult to mess with, and there are even many gentry in the family, and there are still people in the court who are officials, and the number is huge, and it is really not possible to treat it with brutal means.

"Li Wenhua did a good job, if he didn't stop, I'm afraid that this king's money will be completely wasted! Also, if it stops there, I'm afraid it won't be enough to make you so spitting! ”

Glancing at Zhao Shizhen, Zhu Changluo said unhurriedly.

If it was just because the silver couldn't be sent, I'm afraid that Zhao Shizhen wouldn't be so embarrassed.

"Your Highness is wise, this matter is indeed not just the gentry......

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Shizhen hesitated and spoke.

"In fact, in this matter, there is also the shadow of the Hui merchant introduced by His Highness!"

"Oh? What did they do? ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhu Changluo's brows suddenly furrowed, and he understood the reason why Zhao Shizhen was hesitant.

"Back to Your Highness, according to the news collected by the ministers these days, many of these Hui merchants have been bought by the local gentry and become their minions, among which the grain shop is the focus, and they are in cahoots with many gentry to jointly raise the price of grain, causing panic among the people, and also making rumors continue to spread in the city......

Zhao Shizhen wiped his sweat and finally finished everything.

It's really not that he doesn't want to finish talking at once, but this matter is really a little difficult to speak, not to mention that these Hui merchants were brought over by His Royal Highness's friend Su Gonggong, so he said that these people were stationed in Dangtu County at the beginning, and His Royal Highness personally agreed.

If something is wrong with them at this moment, isn't it nakedly slapping His Highness in the face?

Taking this layer into account, Zhao Shizhen kept spitting.

Unexpectedly, after listening, Zhu Changluo snorted coldly and said to himself.

"It's really as black as a crow in the world!"
