Chapter 425: A Model for Kings!
When everyone in the Fengtian Hall criticized Zhu Yunxi, there was still a group of people squatting in the hall to watch the excitement.
However, they didn't dare to really run over to see the excitement, but ordered the little eunuch on duty to send them a message back and forth.
"His Royal Highness King Qin, it's starting over there!"
"The first to strike was the ...... of the Holy Father."
As soon as Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, heard that Yan Shenggong had made a move, he immediately cheered happily.
"Great!"
"Yan Sheng Gong is a civil leader, and the old man has to take care of it!"
"With the help of the Holy Father, Zhu Yunxi's grandson's new policy will definitely be in vain!"
Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, echoed.
"yes!"
"Yan Sheng Gong is a family that has been inherited for thousands of years, how can he watch Zhu Yunxi's grandson mess around?"
Although Zhu Li and Zhu Di didn't speak, the expressions on their faces were obviously much more relaxed.
The two of them also hate the New Deal, but Zhu Li cares about Zhu Biao's face, and Zhu Di doesn't want to do this, so he can only clamp his tail and be a man.
Fortunately, there is no need for them to come forward in this matter, according to Zhu Yunxi's new policy, the entire court is his enemy, and some people speak for them.
The other vassal kings did the same, and they all planned to wait and eat ready-made.
Of course, if the old man really believed in the evil of the grandson and insisted on taking their land, then they would also cry.
Just when everyone was secretly rejoicing, the little eunuch ran over to spread the word again.
"Oh no, Yan Shenggong was scolded back by Mr. Gao!"
"What?"
When everyone in the hall heard this, they were collectively dumbfounded, and Zhu Fan scolded even more.
"This tall old man is damned!"
"If it weren't for this old man's pandering, would Zhu Yunxi have thought of asking us to collect taxes?"
"He is the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family, and he should be cut by the old man with a thousand knives!"
"The second brother is right, let's go back to the book to impeach Gao Ming, saying that he provoked royal affection, divided the flesh and blood of the heavenly family, and let his father cut off his head!"
When the second and fifth children were scolding, the little eunuch ran back again to pass the word.
"Yan Shenggong scolded Mr. Gao back again, and now Yan Shenggong is the loudest!"
Zhu Fan laughed when he heard this.
"Good!"
"This is the aura of the saint!"
"By the way, didn't my eldest nephew speak?"
"This kid is holding back such a loud fart quietly, shouldn't he be dumb without saying a word?"
When Zhu Li heard this, he glared at Zhu Fan unhappily.
He was opposed to the new policy of taxing him, but that did not mean that he was against Zhu Yunxi. Zhu Fan is now pointing the finger at Zhu Yunxi, which can touch his scales.
"Second brother, be careful when you speak!"
"Zhu Yunxi is the grandson of the emperor, we have decided to be a monarch and minister with him, and we must respect him like a big brother!"
"Ahh
Zhu Fan sneered when he heard this.
"Respect him?"
"Is he worthy?"
"How can you help outsiders bully your own emperor's grandson!"
"If the eldest brother does the same, I, the second brother, will also be unconvinced!"
When the others heard this, they all looked at Zhu Fan. Although everyone did not speak, the expressions on their faces were self-evident, and they collectively supported Zhu Fan's remarks.
It doesn't matter who it is, as long as you oppose their vassal kings, you can't do it!
"Back to King Qin, the imperial grandson has made a move!"
"The emperor took out a chart......
"What is the number of acres of Daming fields, it is said that there are more than 3.6 million hectares in the fourteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty!"
"The imperial grandson said again, in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, there are more than 3.8 million acres of Daming land......
"Oh, no, His Majesty the Emperor is going crazy......
When everyone in the temple heard this, they were shocked, and then after coming back to their senses, everyone was even more shocked.
They found a shocking one
Secretly, the land growth in the Ming Dynasty in the past ten years has only been 200,000 hectares?
The king of Chu stabbed the king of Qi on the side.
"You kid, one person accounts for one-twentieth of our Ming Dynasty?"
According to the Ming system, one hectare of land is one hundred acres, and ten thousand hectares of land is one million acres.
King Qi had previously forcibly occupied one million acres of land in Qingzhou, which accounted for exactly one-twentieth of the newly reclaimed land in the Ming Dynasty.
When King Qi heard this, his face turned white with fright.
He knows the old man's temper too well, if he is greedy, it's fine, but if he is too greedy, takes too much, and it hurts the country, he doesn't need Zhu Yunxi's turtle grandson to fan the flames, and the old man can send troops to destroy him!
"Don't talk too much!"
"Don't think we don't know, you occupy a lot of land in Wuchang!"
"My Hunan territory is mixed with barbarians, and I am expanding my territory, how can it be compared to your behavior of forcibly occupying the people's familiar land?"
After the king of Chu finished scolding the king of Qi, he did not forget to look at the king of Shu and the king of Xiang.
"Zhu Chun, Zhu Bai, you two said yes!"
The fiefs of Zhu Chun and Zhu Bai were also barbarians and Han people, and they belonged to the territory of frequent rebellion.
When the two of them heard King Chu's provocative words, they smiled awkwardly, neither nodding in response nor shaking their heads in denial.
In fact, the two of them also more or less encroached on the civil land around the fiefdom, but the noise was small, not as big as the other brothers.
After all, the two of them are also vassal kings who each lead three guards and horses, even if they are not uncommon in that way, but the generals who follow them still have to rely on that to support their families, right?
Then the generals occupied more land, and gave them two points, can the two of them refuse?
However, now that it has been ten years since the Ming Dynasty, the fields have only grown so much, and the two of them know that something bad is wrong.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the little eunuch to run over out of breath.
"Your Majesty is furious!"
"Send all the officials home and write an account!"
When Zhu Fan heard this, he drooped his head in frustration.
"Come on!"
"Let's stop watching the excitement, let's go home and write an excerpt of confession!"
"It is estimated that it won't be long before the old man's Qincha should be sent to various places to check the acres of fields!"
As soon as Zhu Zhang's words fell, Qin Deshun led a few eunuchs over.
"His Majesty the Emperor's dictation!"
As soon as everyone heard this, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and listened to Lao Zhu's words.
"You *** bunnies!"
As soon as Qin Deshun's words came out, everyone stared at him angrily, and Qin King Zhu Fan was even more angry and jumped up directly from the ground.
"Dead eunuch, who the fuck are you scolding!"
Seeing this, Qin Deshun hurriedly explained.
"Princes are angry, it's not our family that scolds you, it's the emperor who said that!"
"That's what the old man really said?"
"It's true!"
"Otherwise, give our family 10,000 guts, and our family won't dare to scold you princes like this!"
"This ......"
"This is indeed like the tone of an old man......
Zhu Fan knelt down stupidly and threatened Qin Deshun with his eyes.
"Old Qin, don't be original, and embellish your father a little, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Deshun hurriedly waved his hand.
"No, no, no......"
"What kind of line is this, we are passing on the emperor's dictation, not a word, not a single sound can be bad, if it is bad, it is a false transmission of the holy decree!"
When King Qin heard this, he rolled his eyes angrily and said with hatred.
"Okay!"
"Pass it on, today's bounty is gone!"
As soon as Qin Deshun heard this, he immediately put on a smiling face.
"Don't mind!"
"You can't change it, but you can still change it......
"His Majesty the Emperor said, you *** bunnies
, we're really blind, why did we send you to various places to be vassal kings......
Qin Deshun finished this passage at a fast pace, and then looked at King Qin with a smile. Zhu Fan was furious by the old eunuch's heart, so he could only take out a silver ingot from his sleeve and throw it over.
"I'm in a hurry to enter the palace today, and I just have this amount of money in my pocket, do you want it?"
"Yes!"
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin's reward, if our family doesn't want it, wouldn't it be shameless to give face, hehehe......
Qin Deshun took the silver and wiped it on his clothes, and then he was satisfied with the sleeves.
"His Majesty the Emperor also said, let you go back and calculate how much land you have occupied in the imperial court over the years, and write an excerpt in the original form!"
"If you dare to deceive and be found out by Your Majesty, you will eat your good fruit!"
"Chin this!"
When everyone heard the word "Qinthis", they immediately got up from the ground, and they really didn't want to kneel for a moment.
After the princes got up from the ground, they collectively ignored Qin Deshun, the dead eunuch, and gathered around King Qin.
"Second brother, you are the head of all the kings in the world, you have to say a fair word to your younger brothers!"
"We have occupied a little bit of the imperial court's land over the years, but we are also raising troops for the imperial court, and we have also stabilized the place for the imperial court!"
"We didn't occupy this land in vain, let's ...... it."
Zhu Fan was directly confused by the sentence "the head of all kings" from the vassal kings, and he took care of the authenticity.
"Rest assured, brother Wang, with the second brother here, I will definitely not let you suffer!"
"Don't write anything when you go back, if your father blames it, say that I let it, and let my father come to me for trouble!"
When everyone heard this, they praised Zhu Zhang's atmosphere in unison, and only Zhu Li and Zhu Di cast suspicious eyes at Zhu Zhang.
Zhu Fan is older, and the young vassal king doesn't know what virtue he has, but Zhu Li and Zhu Di have played with him since childhood, and they know too well that Zhu Fan is unreliable.
He now promises to carry things for everyone, and when he turns his head, he can hug the old man and cry, saying that he was held hostage by everyone.
"Second brother, aren't you really afraid that the old man will be mad?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"If the old man has the guts, he will abolish me!"
"I caught all his grandsons in Xi'an and hung them on the city gate tower to bleed, when I saw it, he was distressed, or I was distressed!"
When Zhu Li heard Zhu Rong's shameless words, he could only silently feel sorry for his nephew Zhu Shangbing for three seconds.
Zhu Shangbing's stall is such an unreliable father, he really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes!
Zhu Li and Zhu Di didn't believe it, but the other vassal kings really believed it, and they felt that they had the support of their second brother, and their courage suddenly increased a little.
However, after Zhu Fan was surrounded by a group of vassal kings and left the palace, he came back not long after, and sneakily came to the outside of the Yangxin Palace, leaning on the edge of the wall outside the Yangxin Palace and listening to the root of Lao Zhu's wall.
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Lao Zhu scolded angrily.
"A bunch of rubbish with a thousand cuts, we should really kill them alive!"
"And that scum of King Qin, what are you doing, occupy the first place!"
"Grandpa Huang, the second uncle doesn't occupy much, according to Jinyiwei's investigation, it has only accounted for less than 10 million mu in total over the years......
"Ten million acres?"
Lao Zhu was almost so angry when he heard this number.
The entire Ming Dynasty only increased by a total of 20 million mu of land in ten years, and half of it was taken up by the rebel son of King Qin!
"He accounts for 10 million, others occupy another 10 million, and a dozen vassal kings are more than 100 million acres!"
"The earth under the world has been occupied by them, and our eldest grandson and our eldest grandson eat and drink!"
"What do our Ming troops eat and drink!"
"What do our people eat and drink!"
After Lao Zhu finished scolding, he came to the screen angrily, pointed to the screen and scolded.
"Who else has the more?"
"What about your aunts, how much do they have?
」
"And how many of those generals have taken it?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard this.
"It's hard to say, a lot of data can only be estimated, but on the whole, it's still the land that the people hide is the majority."
"Folk concealment?"
Lao Zhu sneered when he heard this.
"What are the people hiding?"
"If there is no government to fill their pockets and deceive their superiors and subordinates, it is so easy for the common people to hide their fields!"
"We must make a hard inventory, and we must find out the number of acres in the country, otherwise we won't be able to close our eyes when we die!"
Zhu Yunxi is 10,000 people who support the inventory of acres of land across the country, but he has just carried out a pilot project in Shandong, and he has not yet achieved results, so he is always a little unwilling.
"Grandpa Huang, is Shandong's new policy still enforced?"
"Execute!"
"Why don't you do it?"
"Can the civil and military officials of the court support it?"
Old Zhu Wenyan sneered again.
"Where did they get their face to object!"
"Don't worry about it, no one dares to do it now!"
Zhu Yunxi was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Okay!"
"Grandson, let's do it!"
"By the way, Grandpa Huang, my grandson wants to reappoint a political envoy from Shandong, do you have any opinions?"
Lao Zhu was angry, but he still took authority very seriously, and when he saw that the eldest grandson was suddenly going to appoint a political envoy, he immediately asked vigilantly.
"Who do you want to appoint?"
"Grandpa Huang, what do you think of the former military department Shangshu Ru Yu?"
"Ru Yu?"
Lao Zhu was not disgusted with Ru Yu, but because he violated the national law, he was sent to the coal yard to mine.
Now that he heard Zhu Yunxi mention this person again, Lao Zhu's brain immediately started.
"It's not impossible for this man to ......."
"He has the ability, and he has received such a great favor from you, he will definitely die for you......
"It's just that it's only been a long time since he was sent to the coal distribution yard, are you really willing to let him out like this?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled when he heard this.
"Grandpa Huang, isn't that what the officials use to use?"
"If Ru Yu does a good job and brings up the taxes of Shandong for us, it's nothing for us to give him a *** job. If he doesn't do a good job and is still in cahoots with those officials, then we won't feel sorry to kill him!"
When Lao Zhu heard this, he laughed happily, happier than picking up a piece of gold on the road.
"Good, good!"
"This is our good grandson!"
"You can tell me this way of employing people, which shows that our hard work over the years has not been in vain, hahaha!"
Zhu Fan listened outside the door for a while, and left the palace with a heavy heart, and when Zhu Fan returned home, he called his henchmen over and asked them to rush back to Xi'an overnight.
As for himself, he honestly went to the study and wrote a list of his property for the old man.
Looking up, it is "Erchen Zhu Fan Performance", so respectful that he doesn't want it, and he is not arrogant at all when he was in the palace.
He can see that the old man is going to play real this time!
The next day, under the urging of Jinyiwei, all the vassal kings were called to the palace by Lao Zhu for questioning.
The vassal kings stood in the sun and whispered incessantly.
"Did you write it?"
"I didn't write it!"
"Didn't the second brother say it, the sky is falling and he is on top of it, why am I writing that thing!"
"I didn't write it, so I don't believe that my father can still force us to death?"
Everyone whispered for a while, and suddenly saw Zhu Fan walking in from outside, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a whisper.
"Second brother, you must not have written either, right?"
Zhu Fan asked in a daze when he heard this.
"What to write?"
When Zhu Hu saw Zhu Fan like this, he immediately laughed.
"Whatever I say, I'll just say that the second brother doesn't write it, let you put your heart in your stomach!"
Zhu Yu still added uncomfortably when he heard this.
"Didn't my father say yesterday that let's write down how many fields have been occupied by the imperial court over the years?"
When Zhu Fan heard this, he showed an expression of sudden realization.
"Oh, ah......"
"That's what you're talking about!"
"This is my father's dictation, how can I, who is a son, disobey it?"
"Huh?"
Everyone was collectively dumbfounded when they heard Zhu Zhang's words, and Zhu Rong and the others stared at Zhu Fan with unbelievable eyes, looking at Zhu Fan like a stupid goldfish.
"Second brother!"
"That's not what you said yesterday!"
"You said that the old man blamed you for it, and let none of us write it!"
Zhu Fan made up his mind to pretend to be stupid to the end, even if Zhu Rong dismantled him in person, he pretended not to know.
"Did I tell me?"
"Why don't I remember?"
"You ......"
"You're fooling us!"
While everyone was arguing, the dignified old Zhu walked out of the door.
Seeing this, Zhu Fan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down respectfully, and then took out a piece of folding from his sleeve.
"Son-in-law Zhu Zhang, on the orders of my father, I have made a list of the properties of the Qin Palace, and I also ask my father to take a look!"
Lao Zhu didn't look down on Zhu Fan at all, but he didn't expect him to cooperate so much this time that he was the first to hand over the property list of the palace, which made him impressed.
Lao Zhu stretched out his hand to take Zhu Zhang's recital and praised him sincerely.
"Not bad!"
"It's worthy of being the head of the kings, and it's really a bit of a model for the kings!"
After Lao Zhu finished praising Zhu Zhang, he immediately looked at the other sons on the side, and asked in a majestic tone.
"What about yours?"
"We ......"
