Rollo has nothing to repay, only hard work

The inability to quit casually was probably the last insistence of the poor peasants in China in the 13th century. Because land is always the lifeblood of farmers, even if they lose the ownership of the land, they must do everything possible to keep the right to use the land.

The emperors and government of all dynasties have also tried their best to satisfy the last insistence of the peasants, and the retreat has always been a matter of opposition to the imperial court. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the phenomenon of tenants buying and selling with the land was not only a sign that the peasants were gradually becoming serfs, but also a demand of the peasants themselves.

Freedom is never as valuable as a piece of land that can bring food and clothing to yourself and your family, even if the land does not belong to you. Freedom is never as important as a shelter from the elements, even if it is built on someone else's land. Even if you have to be a slave for generations to be a slave for this food and clothing, it seems to be worth it.

And now, Chen Dexing, a great god, can't tolerate the honest poor middle peasants in Jiangnan to be slaves steadily.

The Jiangdu City under construction, now Nanjing of the Ming Dynasty, was the capital of the Ming Empire in autumn and winter.

Huang Zhishen, the prime minister of the Ming Cabinet who had just gone south to Jiangdu, has been in a bad mood recently. Although the world has been unified by the Ming Dynasty, the situation that he, the prime minister, has to deal with is even more troublesome.

This time, it's not about worrying about money, it's about flattening Jiangnan. There was another Mingzhou continent full of gold, and the Chen Ming court suddenly became a local tyrant. So poor that only money remains.

But there are some things that money can't solve. Now Huang Dacheng is not short of money, but he is beginning to lack people. This is all to blame for Chen Dexing's badness. The Tartars were also expelled, the dynasty changed, and the world was basically settled by him.

It stands to reason that the common people should be allowed to recuperate, right? But then, all kinds of tosses came.

The first is to open up the Quartet! Well, there's an earth to conquer! A group of heroes are happy, and they don't have to worry about what birds are hidden and rabbits are dead and dogs are cooking. There are no more birds and rabbits on the whole earth, and the bow will not be enough. There is no reason to hide it, and the dog can't cook it and eat it.

However, it seems that there are too many troops in the Ming Dynasty, right? Before Pingjiangnan, the Ming army was four armies, eight flags, more than a dozen governors and two oceanic fleets. More than 300,000 people in total. But now, the army has expanded to six, the Eight Banners have also increased to 60,000, and the Governor's Mansion has more than 20. Moreover, there are more than 100 or so military household brigades in one place, recruiting no less than 500,000 military household soldiers in nine provinces, including Huaidong, Fujian, Hunan, Liangguang, Liangzhejiang, and Liangjiang!

And that's not all. Under the command of Chen Huaiqing, the king of Fu, and Zhao Lin'er, the king of Song, there are also many troops now. Fu Fan recruited tens of thousands of guests, and collected most of the regimental training soldiers captured in the Battle of Lin'an, and now has 70,000 or 80,000 troops. The Song Dynasty incorporated the Junzi Camp and Li Tingzhi's department. There was also an army of 60,000.

Counting the Fu Domain and the Song Domain, the army actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty is almost a million!

And these armies are not raised for nothing, Chen Dexing wants to use them to go to the east and the west to fight. A war for millions of troops...... Logistical things. It's also a headache to think about, how many people do you have to transport? It's not something that can be settled with gold!

Except for fighting. Another headache for Prime Minister Huang Dacheng is the big project. Before others arrived in Jiangdu, Chen Dexing's holy decree on the construction of the project arrived.

The first is to repair the river capital. Jiangdu is Nanjing, Ming Dynasty. It is also the economic center, trade center, industrial and commercial center and financial center of the planned southeast region. Naturally, it is necessary to build well.

The second is to repair Beijing. Yanjing City is a city left by the Jin Dynasty, which was originally sloppy, and later after war and destruction, it is now dilapidated, and it does not look like the capital of a world empire at all. Now that Chen Dexing has money, he naturally has to repair it well.

The third is to harness the Yellow River and the Huai River. The Yellow River allowed the Mongols to dig a mouth in the Southern Song Dynasty and seize the Huai into the sea! As a result, the Huai River flooded year after year, seriously threatening the safety of the Jiangdu City. How can it be done without governance? You have to let the Yellow River flow back to its original course, right? Otherwise, it would not be a problem to flood the river at both ends in three days.

The fourth is to build the Grand Canal. Although the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to shipping, the Grand Canal is also very important! And now the direction of the canal is different from that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it does not go directly to Beijing through Shandong Province. Instead, he went to Henan and then to Hebei. The Guide Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion and Daimyo Mansion passed along the way were all famous cities in the Northern Song Dynasty. If Chen Dexing wants to develop the economy of the Central Plains and revitalize the famous cities of the Central Plains such as Kaifeng, Guide, Daming, and Luoyang, he will naturally have to repair the Grand Canal.

Repair the two capitals, govern the Huanghuai, and rejuvenate the Caoyun, which of these major projects is not to gather hundreds of thousands? With four big workers together, at least 2 million people are busy with the project!

No matter how much money is spent, just the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these two million people have to make Huang Zhi deeply sad. And at the same time as the four major projects are being carried out, there will be millions of soldiers fighting in all directions.

This Qin Shi Huang also tossed the law like this, Chen Shengren compared with Qin Shi Huang, the toss seems to be bigger, fortunately, there is gold and silver from Beimingzhou to support the state......

However, Huang Zhishen is still worried that these big workers and big requisitions use too much people's power, and it will be bad if they cause any uprising.

And when he took the entire imperial court south to Jiangdu by sea ship, the governors of several provinces in Jiangnan reported a large number of life lawsuits.

The lawsuit of human life is nothing, Daming grass creation, and all parts of the country are hastily erected government teams, the foundation is unstable, and chaos is frequent. Bandits are rampant, thieves are rampant, and this is a matter of law and order. has its own corresponding yamen is responsible, and if it should be caught, it should be paid, and if it can't be caught, even if these thieves are lucky. Anyway, these thieves are trying to make money and kill people, and no matter how much trouble they make, they can't threaten the Ming Dynasty.

But because of the death of the tenant, and the frequent petitions for carrying the corpse, it will be troublesome! Huang Zhishen himself is a southerner, and his family is a maritime merchant from Fujian and Guangdong, and he has land in both Guangdong and Fujian. Naturally, I also know how troublesome it is to quit the tenant. In the past, the landlords were reluctant to touch this matter, and as long as the rent could be paid, and the usury could be repaid a little—the usury would never be repaid—and the landlords would be satisfied.

Now those military landlords are doing well, and they have even driven out tenants in large numbers, and they want to take the land in their hands and run it themselves. Isn't this forcing tenants to rebel? When this matter was to be put on hold in the Song Dynasty, the magistrate would definitely come forward to reprimand the landlord, even if the big righteous door would not dare to do so. But now the officials of the Ming Dynasty don't care, isn't this forcing the people to rebel?

Of course, if things really make trouble, there is no problem with suppression, and the Ming Dynasty now has hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangnan (including the armies of Fu and Song Erfan), all of which are elite soldiers who fight the world, what chaos can't be suppressed?

But how many people will die in this round of repression? Will Jiangnan's prosperity be affected?

With a full stomach, Huang Zhishen strode into the Zhaoming Palace in Jiangdu City (Yangzhou City).

……

"Things in Jiangnan are already complicated, there are a lot of people! There are many people, there are many things, and it is indeed not as easy to deal with as in the north, and we don't kill people indiscriminately, so they think that my butcher's knife is not good. ”

In Zhaoming Palace, Chen Dexing frowned, and his tone was calm.

Today, there are about 100 million people in the Ming Dynasty, of which there are 70 or 80 million in the south of the Yangtze River, and more than 20 million in other places. Therefore, it is easy to do in other places, but the land is vast and sparsely populated! Isn't the biggest social contradiction in China the land contradiction? If there is land, there will be no contradictions.

However, the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is different, and there are 70 or 80 million people in the five provinces of Liangjiang, Liangzhejiang, and Fujian. How much land is there in these five provinces? There are more places in western Zhejiang and Jiangdong, Fujian is eight mountains, one water and one field, and eastern Zhejiang and Jiangxi are also more mountainous and less fields. All things add up, and it is almost enough to have more than 200 million acres. The per capita is also three acres of land, which is nothing in the later generations when there are two kinds of fertilizers. But in the 13th century, there was simply not enough to eat. If the common people do not have enough to eat, the contradictions will naturally become greater, and people's hearts will naturally fluctuate.

Moreover, agriculture in Beidi, Lianghuai, Jinghu, Sichuan, and Liaodong has not been fully recovered, and a large amount of cheap rice and grain has not yet been transported to the south of the Yangtze River. The most bitter time for the farmers in Jiangnan has not yet arrived! If you want to make trouble now, you will pay it back in the future?

"Isn't it just that someone quit? What's the big deal? I will give them food! All those who have no food and clothing after quitting will come to me, and I will find my own way to settle them and give them food. If they don't want to be a soldier, then they will do hard labor for me! Repair the two capitals, repair the canal, repair the Huanghuai, there are things to do. If you are afraid of hardship, tiredness and death, then my butcher's knife can be sharp! ”

Chen Dexing has a secret investigation bureau, and he is naturally clear about the foundation of this matter among the people in Jiangnan.

The problem now is not that the tenants have withdrawn, but that the Ming Dynasty has not yet fully grasped the grassroots level in Jiangnan and the public opinion of the people in Jiangnan. Although Jiangnan Yimen was shattered, it was not destroyed, but it was only broken into pieces. Some of them are still fighting against the Ming court, and they still have quite strong prestige among the people. If Daming wants to completely control Jiangnan, he has to suppress these scholars who are still fighting against Daming.

Chen Dexing is now staying in Jiangdu in order to deal with various complicated problems after the Pingjiang South period.

Huang Zhishen asked: "Sage, do you want to edict Jiangnan to reassure the people?" ”

"Edict?" Chen Dexing snorted coldly, "Of course it's going to be edicted!" From the winter of the first year of Heavenly Dao to the spring of the second year of Heavenly Dao, I will go out to patrol the south of the Yangtze River, and I will listen to the people's grievances and grievances in the capitals of various provinces. ”

"Saint, is that all there is to it?" Huang Zhishen was stunned and asked.

It doesn't seem appropriate to just say that we accept people's complaints, and not talk about how to solve everyone's food problems, right?

Chen Dexing snorted, "That's all!" That's too much...... Those guys have a countermeasure, it's not easy to fool. ”

Not easy to fool? Who is Chen Shengren trying to fool? Huang Zhishen and several senior officials who participated in the meeting looked at each other, and they were all confused.

What does this Chen Shengren want to do? (To be continued......)
