Chapter 63: Pig Tactics
"Mr. Xu, do you want to start with your own home, can you talk about your thoughts?" Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile: "I think we can only be like-minded, we come together and do one thing together, the first is to know each other, what does Mr. Xu think?" ”
Xu Zhen looked at Zhu Yiyuan in surprise, frowned and said, "Does Zhu Yishi think that he can also know the people?" ”
Zhu Yiyuan laughed, "Why can't you?" You must know that I was sent to the county seat by the villagers of Laiwu. ”
Xu Zhen was thoughtful, Zhu Yiyuan came over, asked about Juntian, and answered the people's confusion, okay is okay, no is no good...... Those villagers in the peasant community can also talk to him, and Zhu Yiyuan eats and lives with the soldiers, and there is no difference.
Xu Zhen said thoughtfully: "Acting like Mr. Zhuo Wu's proposition. ”
"Is it Li Zhen?"
Xu Zhen nodded, "That's right, Mr. Zhuo Wu said that the king of heaven thought that he was the people." I thought that this was better than Mencius. ”
Li Zhen is a disciple of Xinxue, a famous madman, after the examination was lifted, he did not participate in the examination, but lectured everywhere, everywhere, the applicants were like clouds, and there were even many women.
Although Xu Zhen did not personally appreciate Li Zhen's style, but in his early years, he read a lot of Li Zhen's books and articles, and naturally hated the empty talk of science and misled the country.
It's just that after more than 20 years, he has not changed his original intention, but Zhu Yiyuan has been impressed.
"The Ming Dynasty connived at the gentry and did not care about the people's strength, so that the country was ruined. We are all people who have lost our country, and we can't even keep our hair and clothes, and we can't be people if we want to. Isn't that a painful lesson! Zhu Yiyuan said slowly: "Any court that despises the people will not end well." ”
When Xu Zhen heard this, his eyes lit up, after so many years, he was finally able to meet a like-minded person who was willing to support him.
"Zhu Yanshi, since he said this, he is willing to be a pawn in front of the horse."
Xu Zhen said so and did so, and he was the first to kill his uncle's house.
The Xu family is in Laiwu, and it is not a small rich family, and there are several famous scholars, and they have accumulated a lot of family funds over the years.
According to Zhu Yiyuan's plan for dividing the land, if the obedient big households only need to hand over the fields, the floating wealth of the family can be retained, and the land can also be retained according to the upper limit of 20 mu.
Wealthy households not only have land, but they also have grain, money, cattle, livestock, seeds, and farm tools...... These Zhu Yiyuan didn't ask for it, nor did they stop them from lending money.
In fact, there is room for it.
But helplessly, some people are just not satisfied, and what they can't stand the most is that Zhu Yiyuan asks for the release of the slaves and allows the slaves to be given land like ordinary people.
He also took acres of land and limited the number of large households.
It's going to be fatal.
Uncle Xu Zhen's four concubines were all taken away, and the servants in the house, who worked long and short, also picked their sons and ran away.
There are also chopping wood, washing clothes, farming and plowing the fields...... How are you going to live this day?
This man sighed all day long, and heard that Qian Qianyi had arrived in Jinan, treated the gentry with kindness, and forgave his sins. This is really a life-saving Bodhisattva, he patted his buttocks, and even ignored his wife and children, so he went to Jinan to join Qian Qianyi.
Xu Zhen is also not polite, when the family is gone, your family will not be punished at all...... "Take away all their food and money, as well as eight ploughing oxen, three horses, and two donkeys, and distribute them to the villagers who have no livestock." ”
The militia followed the instructions and went directly into the gate of the Xu family.
Xu Zhen's aunt cried and stopped her, where would the militia take care of her, and pushed her away.
The aunt then rushed to Xu Zhen again, angry.
"You, you bastard! How can there be a disaster to your own family, you are sorry for the ancestors of the Xu family, you should be cut with a thousand knives! ”
In the face of the curse, Xu Zhen was indifferent, "Auntie, you are also from a family in a Zhuang family, and you have been married to my uncle for twenty years, and you can't even do farm work?" I'll take these, your family still has land left, grow and eat by yourself, you can live a peaceful and stable life, don't learn from my uncle, he is obsessed, thinking that Qian Qianyi is a good person! is called a scholar, and her temperament is not as good as that of a Qinglou woman, or it won't be long before my uncle will regret it. I won't investigate you now, and when the time comes, it will be the death of the whole family! ”
The aunt was still not convinced, gritted her teeth and said: "It's because they are too ruthless and don't give people a way to live, besides, your uncle is gone, why don't you help hide it?" ”
"Shut up!" Xu Zhen was furious, "There are so many people in the Xu family, why are they unlucky to follow you?" If you dare to entangle, I will take back the house and distribute it to the villagers!" ”
The aunt's eyes widened, and she looked at Xu Zhen viciously, and then let out a wail, turned her head and ran into the house, crying.
Xu Zhen really didn't care so much, he ran to the next one.
The aunt stayed at home day after day, and on the third day, she went out.
No way, there are still some rations left at home, but there is no firewood.
She put away her original satin clothes and embroidered shoes, changed into rags, and went to carry wheat straw, and carried two large bundles at a time, no different from an ordinary peasant woman.
The landlord's wife also came out to work.
It's a big novelty.
When the people saw it, they only felt happy.
As it should be, no one can be high, no one can get something for nothing!
After Xu Zhen's treatment, all those who listened to Qian Qianyi's words and escaped from Zhu Yiyuan's rule were raided one after another, and grain, gold and silver were handed over to Zhu Yiyuan to enrich the military.
The livestock was distributed to the common people, and the big guys all got the benefits and had a bright future.
However, this wave of exodus is not without waves, for example, a large family in Laiwu ran away with thousands of people, including family members and soldiers.
This family is the Qi family.
Their family can develop because of one person...... Qi Shijiao, this person was born as an official, is the first auxiliary party from the philosopher's door, in the late Ming Dynasty when the party struggled, he was the leader of the Qi party, once served as the right capital of the imperial history, but also served as the governor of Henan.
Qi Shijiao was an official and upright outside, but his family quickly became rich, annexing tens of thousands of acres of land and raising hundreds of thugs, half of Laiwu's land was owned by the Kong family, and the remaining half was almost from the Qi family.
Zhu Yiyuan announced Juntian, and the Qi family did not oppose it on the surface, but silently hibernated, after all, Zhu Yiyuan promised to Juntian after the autumn harvest.
And during this time, the people of Laiwu supported Zhu Yiyuan one after another, and defeated Ma Degong and Liu Zhigan one after another. Zhu Yiyuan's troops numbered several thousand, and there were thousands of militiamen.
In the past, those arrogant and domineering housekeepers were all honest, and they could only be people with their tails between their legs, trembling.
The Qi family has already seen that with the real implementation of Juntian and the split of the big family, the end of the Qi family will definitely not be good.
Therefore, they gathered their relatives, gathered their families, and watched to leave Laiwu.
They were very smart, they did not take the Great Wall Ridge to Jinan Mansion, but went south from Culai Mountain to Surabaya County in Yanzhou, which is not far from Qufu and is covered by Yan Shenggong, which is definitely safer than Jinan Mansion.
……
"Zhu Yanshi, not only the Qi family, but also more than a dozen wealthy gentry families in Xintai, including some scholars from poor families, were bewitched by Qian Qianyi and fled one after another, and many of them went to Surabaya County."
Song Lian also reported the situation to Zhu Yiyuan.
It's not that the gentry don't oppose Zhu Yiyuan's policy, it's that the big guys are all family people, and they can't just run...... Moreover, the implementation of Zhu Yiyuan's policy also takes time, and these people are unwilling to run without harming their interests.
And even if you run, where do you run?
What if someone is slaughtered as a thief?
So this time Qian Qianyi came too well, if he didn't come, the big guy didn't dare to run at all, and when he came, a large number of gentry fled under Zhu Yiyuan's rule.
"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. It's not that there are people like Xu Juren who understand things and don't need to worry. Zhu Yiyuan was high-spirited, and Song Lian couldn't help but be cheered up.
"Without such a thing at both ends of the rat, it would only be better. We also want to be grateful to Qian Qianyi for helping us pan for gold in the sand, hahaha! ”
Zhu Yiyuan didn't think anything of it, but there were two or three thousand more people in Surabaya County all of a sudden, and they were all gentry and masters who only ate and didn't work, and on the first day they came, the meat in Surabaya County tripled, and on the second day, they couldn't buy it at all.
Then the price of food also skyrocketed, and those who came from poor backgrounds fled to Surabaya County, and soon found that they had no place to live, the inns were full, there was nothing to eat, and a bucket of rice was more than five times more expensive than before.
It's dying!
Where are the merchants?
Why don't you transport grain to Surabaya?
Just when they were puzzled, outside the county town of Surabaya, a large number of soldiers with red scarves appeared on their heads......
