Zhu Yiyuan settled on the village elder, and Zhang Lin was also busy issuing the land deed.

He gasped and came over to report to Zhu Yiyuan, "Dazhuang Village, a total of 536 people and 154 households, all registered and registered, and divided more than 2,800 acres of land. There are still 800 acres of fertile land left, and more than 1,000 acres of wasteland can be reclaimed. ”

As he spoke, he handed the detailed booklet to Zhu Yiyuan.

Zhu Yiyuan looked at it very seriously, and he knew very well that this set of things was to be generalized and must be able to stand the test. He read it carefully from beginning to end, the key places, and read it again and again, and finally Zhu Yiyuan showed a pleased smile.

"Most of the villagers are satisfied?"

"Satisfied." Zhang Lin sighed: "It's all the son's strategy is good, although some people have bad luck and don't get the satisfactory field, but after all, they get their own field, and it's like the New Year." ”

Zhu Yiyuan nodded and chuckled: "It's not that my strategy is good, it's just that I can push it down without any scruples." Zhang Xiucai, when you presided, no one asked you to be accommodating? ”

Zhang Lin hurriedly said: "No, and the small one is just registering and supervising the lot, even if you want to be accommodating, you can't do it." ”

Zhu Yiyuan bowed slightly, in fact, it is not impossible to do it, but he is here, Zhang Lin is deliberate to behave, and it is not easy to play tricks.

These things are tacit, and Zhu Yiyuan doesn't need to break it, he said with a smile: "According to what I said above, there are still 800 acres of ready-made land, that is, it can house 150 displaced people, and if the wasteland is opened up again, it can also accommodate 200 people." ”

Zhang Lin sighed: "That's true. Zhu Gongzi, this time I presided over the division of the field, which benefited me a lot. In the past, the land rent of large households was too high, and tenants had to take out more than 50 percent, and the rest of the harvest was not enough for rations. Now that Zhu Gongzi has lowered the land rent, the tenant farmers can leave more grain even if they have a few acres of land. And the surplus land can settle more people, which is indeed a virtuous government. ”

Zhu Yiyuan's eyes lit up, he didn't expect this old show to see the benefits of dividing the field so quickly, he smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, I set the Tian Fu at one to five, what do you think of this Tian Fu now, is it high or low?" ”

Zhang Lin was stunned, do you still need to ask?

Not only is it low, it's outrageously low. If it is set at 30% or 40%, as long as there are no other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, it is considered kind.

However, when I thought that after lowering the rent, more land would be free, and with the surplus land, more displaced people would be able to settle down.

Zhang Lin suddenly realized that Zhu Yiyuan's setting of such a low land rent was definitely not a whim, but wanted to settle more people and control more people.

"Zhu Gongzi, I take the liberty of asking, how are you going to use these people? It can't just be for them, right? ”

Zhu Yiyuan laughed, "Isn't it natural to love the people?" If Mr. Zhang has to ask, then I will tell you the truth, do you think we can stop the Qing army with our existing strength? ”

Zhang Lin's face was embarrassed, "Master Zhu, in terms of military strength alone, there is a big gap. But I think that God blesses Zhu Gongzi and is wise, and he will definitely be able to defeat the strong with the weak. ”

Zhu Yiyuan laughed, "It is possible to defeat the strong with the weak, but it is not possible to count on the protection of God." When I was in Qingshiji, I had already said that I should learn from the experience of the Yuyuan Rebels, dig tunnels on a large scale, hide troops underground, and deal with the Qing court. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lin was completely stunned, and he finally thought clearly.

Zhu Yiyuan's field endowment is low, but their conscription is definitely not low.

On the contrary, this conscription will be ridiculously high.

After all, it goes without saying that it takes a lot of hard work to dig tunnels.

But in the same way, these measures are for the people to prepare for war and protect themselves, and they are willing to do it without tiring.

If this is the case, Zhu Yiyuan will be a little scheming if he sets a very low Tian Fu...... Oh, no, it's foresight, wisdom.

Zhang Lin felt more and more that the young man in front of him was not ordinary.

If this was seventeen or eighteen years earlier, what Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong would all get out, and the Ming Dynasty would be his.

However, it was too late at this time, the Qing court had already achieved a general trend, and it was really difficult to turn it over.

Even if we find a way to grow stronger, will the Qing army give us enough time to grow and grow?

Even Zhang Lin can't say well, he is really making a big gamble.

Dazhuang Village succeeded in tinkering, and the acres of land in Qingshiji were re-registered. Then there is the original mountain village where Jiang Qi is located, and Pujia Village...... Zhang Lin only slept less than two hours a day, and he couldn't wait to spin around.

Even Zhu Yiyuan couldn't look at it, "Mr. Zhang, you can't keep your body busy, you have to rest for three hours every day no matter what." ”

Zhang Lin shook his head, "Master Zhu, my body knows by itself. I've been resting for twenty years, and I've been idle for twenty years. For the rest of my life, I have to do everything for the rest of my life. The faster Juntian is on our side, the more soldiers and horses Childe will have, and the better the chance of victory. I'm working for my life. ”

Zhu Yiyuan's heart was shaken, Zhang Lin, this guy, almost 10,000 percent, has a speculative heart, and wants to be prosperous and rich, and leave a name in history. It is not surprising that there are a large number of such scholars in all dynasties.

But it's still shocking to have this kind of person who doesn't hesitate and goes all out once he decides.

Have you found a treasure?

As Zhang Lin said, the faster Juntian is, the more soldiers and horses he has.

Pushed down by several villages, Zhu Yiyuan has settled 2,000 displaced people, of which more than 600 soldiers have been drawn out, and more than 400 strong men have been drawn from several villages.

Counting Qingshiji's old subordinates, Zhu Yiyuan's total strength is already 1,200 people.

At the beginning, Xie moved into Qingshiji, that is, more than 1,000 people.

It's only been more than a month, and I've pulled up such a big team.

Zhu Yiyuan was overjoyed, and even the commanders and envoys were overjoyed.

When he returned from Zichuan County, he immediately praised his son, "This time, our grandfather is not afraid of Xie Qian, my son's ability, dare to laugh at Xie Qian's husband." ”

The two of them were chatting, especially Daddy Zhu, who was even more talking.

The curtain was lifted, and Uncle Ye Tinglan came in.

"Brother-in-law, and eldest nephew, let me tell you the news that Commander Xie has conquered Gaoyuan County."

Gao Yuan?

Both of the Zhu family were shocked, and Father Zhu hurriedly said, "Didn't he say that he was going to attack Jinan?" ”

Jinan is in the west, Gaoyuan is in the north, this can't be mistaken.

Ye Tinglan said: "It's really right, Commander Xie's hometown is Gao Yuan's, he resolutely raised troops, and some Gao Yuan's villagers found him, opened the city gate, and welcomed Commander Xie into the city." ”

"What?" Father Zhu was surprised, "Why is it that the inside and the outside are together?" Is there no other trick? ”

Ye Tinglan couldn't cry or laugh, "You can't get into a strong attack." ”

Father Zhu couldn't help but exclaim, "Xie Qian's luck is too good." ”

Zhu Yiyuan coughed lightly: "I can't say that, the key is that the Qing court shaves his hair and is easy to wear, and he is too unpopular." There are many rebels in various places, and it is natural to help break the city. On the current issue, the Qing court will definitely not let go of Commander Xie. If they want to attack Gaoyuan, they will pass through Zichuan. ”

Father Zhu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "What are you kid going to do?" The Qing army didn't come to fight us, why did you take the initiative to provoke others? I think you're dazed. ”

Zhu Yiyuan didn't listen to his father, his lips were cold and his teeth were cold, no matter who fought the Qing court, I, Zhu Yiyuan, would help the field.

He immediately ordered, and all the leaders under his command, even the old lady Ye, were invited over.

The people gathered together to discuss the matter.

Father Zhu spoke first, "I pondered the old saying that if there is no diamond, don't do porcelain work." We haven't fought much. If the Qing soldiers are provoked, the consequences will be unimaginable, so I mean, let's wait. ”

After unanimous discussion by everyone, Daddy Zhu's suggestion was directly denied.

"Commander Xie and we are one, and helping him is helping ourselves. We must fight this battle. It's just that with our current strength, how to fight still needs to be discussed and discussed. ”

Zhu Yiyuan looked at everyone, and at this time, the big businessman Pu Pan stood up.

"Zhu Gongzi, I heard from other friends who do business that the governor's yamen is already collecting people everywhere to transport grain and grass, and the movement will not be small."

Zhu Yiyuan nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Pu for reminding us, we need the movement of the imperial court very much now, and all righteous businessmen who are willing to assist us are grateful, and we will provide convenience in business." ”

Zhu Yiyuan first thanked Pu Songling's father, and then Zhu Yiyuan said: "No matter how many elite soldiers you can fight, you can't fight on an empty stomach." We may be able to start with the people's baggage and cut off the food of the Qing army, so that they will not be able to advance or retreat, and they will be consumed alive! ”

Tan Qiye immediately nodded, "Childe Gaojian." ”
