Lao Zhu had an impression of Zhang Zongjun, and knew that he had been very close to the Lu family and gave advice to the Lu family.

Otherwise, with Lu's ability, he wouldn't be able to do so many things at all.

But he has not moved Zhang Zongjun, firstly, this person is very loyal to the crown prince Zhu Biao, and secondly, this person is a partial talent, and he is not comparable to an official who was born on the right path of the imperial examination.

Just heard that he gave Zhu Yunxi advice, and Lao Zhu was even more glad of his decision.

This person is worthy of being a partial talent, and the method he can come up with is indeed quite insidious.

But it still needs to be beaten, lest this man teach the eldest grandson badly, and use all these intrigues against his uncles.

When Zhang Zongjun heard Lao Zhu's words, he was so frightened that he kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"Your Majesty is angry!"

"Weichen thinks that His Majesty is a square gentleman, follows the way of a saint, and does things above board, and will not like the ghostly tricks of villains, so he misunderstood His Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive ......"

Lao Zhu wanted to knock Zhang Zongjun a little, but suddenly laughed out loud when he heard his boastful compliment.

"Yes!"

"It is worthy of being born in the rivers and lakes, this coaxing ability is good!"

"However, in the future, don't use this bit of ghost thinking on our eldest grandson, we will send someone to keep an eye on you, if you dare to be a minister, someone will definitely hold a holy decree to cut off your dog's head!"

When Zhang Zongjun heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

"Thank you for Your Majesty's forgiveness, the villain must assist the imperial grandson wholeheartedly, without any selfish ......"

Old Zhu Wenyan looked at Zhu Yunxi, and then raised his chin.

"Get up!"

"No!"

Zhang Zongjun got up from the ground honestly, only to feel that his back was soaked with sweat. Just as he wanted to find a corner to stand, Lao Zhu suddenly stopped him.

"Bring up the rice bowl!"

"Your bowl of rice was given to you by our eldest grandson, so you can serve this bowl of rice!"

"Yes, yes!"

Zhang Zongjun hurriedly picked up the rice bowl from the ground again, ran to the side, turned sideways and pulled it up.

Old Zhu Shiran sat down, and when he saw that Zhang Zongjun had almost eaten, he didn't forget to let people serve him tea and water to prevent him from choking.

However, when facing the eldest grandson who was eating on the side, Lao Zhu changed his face again.

"Eldest grandson, your food is too simple."

"Come on, order the imperial dining room to prepare ten more dishes for our eldest grandson and send them over!"

Zhu Yunxi was about to refuse, but saw Qin De comply, and then ran out.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi could only put down his rice bowl, and then said to Zhang Zongjun on the side.

"Don't eat it yet, wait for the food to be delivered over and eat with Gu in a while!"

Zhang Zongjun hurriedly said that he didn't dare, but was scolded by Lao Zhu.

"If you want to eat, you will eat, where is so much nonsense!"

Lao Zhu's words startled Zhang Zongjun again, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi glared at Lao Zhu unhappily, even if he knew that Lao Zhu was trying to help him subdue this person, he couldn't help but feel that Lao Zhu was a little too much at this time.

"Grandpa Huang, it's almost there, I know who Zhang Zongjun is, and I know how to use him!"

Lao Zhu said with a smile when he heard this.

"We know!"

"Let's just see that he doesn't like it, so let's beat it for you."

"By the way, you two just discussed the matter of North Korea, and we have a few thoughts that we would like to add."

"Huh?"

"Grandpa Huang, are you old and lying on the wall?"

Lao Zhu glared at the rebel grandson.

"When are we going to lie on the wall, we are eavesdropping openly!"

Lao Zhu said this, sighed and said.

"Alas!"

"We've thought about it repeatedly these days, and the North Korean matter is indeed handled too roughly."

"The rash annexation will inevitably cause strong resistance from the Korean military and people, and when the time comes, not to mention the loss of troops, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be greatly reduced."

"Therefore, it is best to mess with the country first, let it be as chaotic as possible, and when it reaches a certain level, the Ming Dynasty will appear as the king's teacher, and then it can be decided in one fell swoop!"

Zhu Yunxi suddenly became interested when he heard this.

"Grandpa Huang, just now Zhang Zongjun said that he could put Li Chenggui Junchen back, let him fight with his son Li Fangyuan and others, and then let's reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

Lao Zhu shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and put on a scheming look.

"That's where we want to add!"

"As we know in the play, Li Fangyuan, the son of Li Chenggui, is invincible in his literary and martial arts among the princes, and his heart is also very tenacious and ruthless."

"If Li Chenggui is really put back, we estimate that he may not be able to fight his son Li Fangyuan, and he will not be able to be killed by his son!"

Lao Zhu's words directly made Zhu Yunxi and Zhang Zongjun stupid, the two of them also have a lot of eyeliner in North Korea, and they also inquired a lot of news about the captured North Korean courtiers this time, but they never knew that there was such a fierce person in North Korea.

"Grandpa Huang, are these things you said true?"

"If you say so, then Li Fangyuan is not the North Korean version of Li Shimin?"

Lao Zhu was stunned when he heard this.

"Li Shimin?"

"Not to mention, Li Fangyuan's most admired is Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, and there are many imitations in his style."

But this person is more ruthless, and he may not be able to let Li Chenggui enjoy his old age. If Li Chenggui dares to appoint someone else as the crown prince, Li Fangyuan will definitely rebel, even if he kills all his brothers! ”

"Therefore, in dealing with this person, you two must consider it carefully, and you must not take it lightly!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded when he heard this.

"That's ......"

"By the way, Grandpa Huang, how do you know this person?"

Lao Zhu smiled mysteriously when he heard this.

"Have you been our emperor for all these years?"

"We are the lord of the Ming Dynasty, although we don't care about the small surrounding countries, but we have to send someone to monitor their behavior and prevent them from causing chaos, right?"

"We have been staring at Li Fangyuan for more than ten years, and before their father and son got into trouble, we decided that this person was a character!"

When Lao Zhu said this, he patted his ass and said.

"Okay, you two can get busy with these things, and tell us at any time if you lack people and things."

"We came here today because we have another thing to say, the biggest obstacle to the inventory of the country's land, we have removed it for you, you can rest assured that you can do it boldly!"

"The biggest obstacle?"

Zhu Yunxi said with a little uncertainty.

"Grandpa Huang, the biggest obstacle you said shouldn't be my second uncle, right?"

Lao Zhu nodded heavily when he heard this.

"We have just abolished his status as the king of Qin and demoted him to a concubine......"

Lao Zhu threw down this sentence, smiled at the eldest grandson, and turned around and left with a gloomy face.

Zhu Yunxi was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Lao Zhu.

"Grandpa Huang, thank you for your trust, I will definitely do this well!"

Lao Zhu smiled sadly when he heard this.

"Good!"

"We are waiting for your good news!"

"We will solve the big trouble in our royal family for you, and the trouble in the court depends on your ability!"

"Please rest assured!"

Lao Zhu broke the hand that the eldest grandson embraced, deliberately straightened his chest and walked outside, but no matter how hard he tried, his figure inevitably stiffened, and the whole person seemed to be a little staggering......

Zhu Yunxi looked at the back of the emperor's grandfather leaving, only to feel that his nose was sore, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

He finally saw the scene he least wanted to see, the imperial grandfather was old after all......

This night seemed uneventful, but for the entire Ming Dynasty, it was the last calm before the storm.

The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang did not go to the court and threw the entire court to Zhu Yunxi.

The first thing Zhu Yunxi did when he presided over the government was to conduct a comprehensive inventory of the number of acres of land in the country.

Although the officials in the court did not dare to oppose it openly, none of them were secretly willing to cooperate.

The military general Xungui was also in a complicated mood, desperately hiding his own property, not wanting to be found out.

More officials sneered silently and decided to be a good person for the Pope's grandson.

Because in this era, the inventory of acres can only be carried out by the tactics of crowds, and the manual measurement of one acre at a time.

Let's not talk about whether there are so many people who know how to calculate in the imperial court, even if there are so many people, how to measure land and obtain first-hand data is a massive project.

Chen Zongli, the head of the household department, hoped that the imperial court would have a clear account, but he also knew how difficult it was to do so, especially when the local government and the local squires colluded with each other, it was difficult to do it.

Therefore, he was the first to stand up and question.

"Your Highness, it's a good thing to measure the land, but where did Daming go to find so many talents at once?"

"In addition, the land hidden in the mountains and wilderness, unless there is a native of the village to lead the way, the stranger does not even know where the land is, how can he measure it?"

"The squire in the countryside, it's too late to hide the land, how can he take the initiative to tell it?"

As soon as Chen Zongli's words fell, everyone in the court nodded loudly.

"What Chen Shangshu said is reasonable, how can the imperial grandson let people go against human nature and take the initiative to inform him where the land is hidden?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled coldly in the face of everyone's doubts.

"Lone never thought they would cooperate!"

"Zhongshu Province drafted the holy decree according to what Gu Gang said, and then spread it to all the political envoys, prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty, and the other six officials cooperated......"

After Zhu Yunxi said this, he announced the dissolution of the dynasty, which caused everyone to be surprised.

After the officials crossed the Wulong Bridge, they stayed away from the surveillance of the guards and soldiers, and began to complain wildly one by one.

"The imperial grandson is so young and vigorous, I don't know how deep this water is!"

"Back then, His Majesty the Emperor only checked the land in the south of the Yangtze River, so he used hundreds of thousands of troops, and the fields were full of soldiers, so he made an inventory of the land in the south of the Yangtze River."

"The imperial grandson is not prepared at all, so he wants to check the acres of land across the country, and if he can't do it, he will have to do the same as two years ago, and in the end he can't ...... it."

"We don't know what it can be cleaned up, we just know that we have to write a letter to the people at home, so that they can cooperate with the government, hehehe......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone echoed with a smile.

"This is very true, it is our duty to cooperate with the imperial grandson to check the acres of land, and the old man has to go back to write a letter to his family......"

On the day when Zhu Yunxi announced the inventory of the country's acres, thousands of letters flew out of the capital, delivering them to every provincial capital and county of the Ming Dynasty.

Some fell into the hands of the local county commanders, some fell into the hands of the patriarchs of the local clans, and some fell into the hands of the political envoys.

In short, before the official document of the imperial court was issued, all the officials and squires of the prefecture and county in the Ming Dynasty knew that the imperial grandson was going to check the land of the whole country, and knew that this was the old emperor's test for the imperial grandson.

Therefore, before the official arrival of the imperial court documents, all the prefectures and counties began to be busy, and the transactions, pawns, and transfer procedures of various fields and acres were carried out rapidly.

After receiving the official document from the imperial court, the Jinhua County Commander just sneered and threw the letter on the bookcase.

"Inventory of acres?"

"The emperor's grandson thinks too simply, thinking that just a piece of paper can force the people to hand over the hidden land?"

"My lord, what are we going to do?"

"Post notices normally, ordering all the governors, township heads, and grain chiefs to come to the county to study......"

"Although the emperor's decree is too child's play, we still have to do our best to cooperate as courtiers......"

"Your Excellency!"

Under the urging of the Jinhua County Order, all the township chiefs and even the grain chiefs in Jinhua County came to the county government to listen to the proclamation.

"Tell you that the people know that now the imperial court wants to check the acres of land across the country, and if there is anyone who hides the land, he will automatically go to the county government to report and transfer the household, and he only needs to pay taxes in accordance with the new law in the future."

"If you can't report it, if you are found by the government, the government will dispose of it as an ownerless wasteland!"

"At that time, those who dare to obstruct will be punished for the crime of treason!"

The lieutenant chiefs and township chiefs listened to the proclamation read out by the yamen officials, and they immediately started to fight one by one.

There is a timid Li Zheng, when he thinks of the dozens of acres of wasteland he has cultivated by the river, his heart is beating a drum, thinking about whether to go to the government to report in advance.

As for those who were bold, they didn't take the proclamation of the court to heart at all.

After all, the government also checked it two years ago, but it was only a lonely one.

After the crowd dispersed, they gathered in twos and threes to discuss.

"Zhao Lizheng, your house seems to have a lot of hidden land, right?"

"Why, don't talk nonsense......"

"Hey, you're still afraid that I'll sell you, and my family has a lot of land......"

"How much have you hidden?"

"It's not much, it's only seventy or eighty acres......"

"Oh, so much?"

"My family has less than 50 acres of land, and all of them are rented to people in the same village to help grow miles......

"You say, will the imperial court send officers and soldiers down to investigate this time, as it did in the early years?"

Tian Li Zheng said with a smile when he heard this.

"Even if you send someone down to check, it's useless, my family's land is hidden in the ravine, unless the officers and soldiers of the imperial court will fly ......"

The two were talking about meeting when they suddenly heard a commotion from the people around them.

"Look, there's something flying in the sky!"

Hearing this, the two hurriedly looked towards the sky, only to see a huge spherical object in the sky, flying slowly above their heads.

"This ...... What is this? ”

"No...... I don't know......"

Above the sky, Huang Wenjing and Lu Qingshu, students of the Hope Academy sitting in a hot air balloon, one was looking down with a telescope, and the other was responsible for writing and drawing on paper.

"There is a field in the southeast col of Jinhua County, which is about 1,000 acres in size, and it is not in the original fish scale atlas."

"Noted down, is there anything else?"

"I can't see the rest of the place for the time being, so we'll have to wait until we fly over!"

"Xiao Zhang, you change the direction and fly straight south to see ......"

"Okay!"

The hot air balloon flew in the sky for a while, and Huang Wenjing suddenly shouted in surprise.

"Found it!"

"There is another field in the south, planted with mulberry trees, the scale of which is hundreds of acres, and it is not in the fish scale atlas!"

Lu Qingshu wrote and drew on the paper and exclaimed.

"Good guy, in Jinhua County alone, the hidden fields are more than twice the number of fish scale atlases, if all the fields in the country are inventoried, they must not be doubled?"

"I don't know how to turn ...... two times"

"The land south of the Yangtze River was very thoroughly inventoried in the early years, and these should be the land that was reclaimed in the future."

"The north has never been thoroughly investigated, and its hidden fields will probably be very amazing!"

"However, this is also thanks to the hot ball made by the imperial grandson, if there is no assistance from this hot ball, give us ten years, we will not be able to finish the land of the Ming Dynasty!"

"yes!"

"Who would have thought that the imperial grandson could really go to heaven, and he could really check the land in heaven!"
