Chapter 18 Land Annexation, the Rich Get Richer (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
"By the way, Lao Fang, how did you do with the kneeling statue of Qin Hui last time?" Zhu Biao asked with concern again.
Fang Jin smiled bitterly in his heart, this was the butterfly effect caused by him again.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter is being stepped up to supervise, everything is going well!" He replied immediately.
Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction and said seriously: "Old Fang, this matter cannot be sloppy, you must do it yourself." ”
"It's natural." Fang Jin responded, he immediately thought of something, and whispered, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know if there is one thing that should be talked about or not?" ”
"Lao Fang, what is a big man doing with twisting and pinching, just say anything straight. You are Lone's cronies, and Lone will also treat you as a brother. Zhu Biao pretended to be angry and said with a straight face.
He naturally knew that the other party was a traverser, plus he was a security officer in his previous life, and he was cautious in everything.
"Your Royal Highness, when the emperor canonized the meritorious hero just now, Li Shanchang's face was a little wrong. He has a lot of credit, but he didn't fall into a prince! Fang Jin said cautiously.
"He, he naturally has merit, but after all, he is a civil minister, not suitable for the title of king, and the duke title of the country is not disadvantaged. After all, those generals who were killed from the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses are different, completely different! ”
After that, Zhu Biao smiled: "Old Fang, do you think what Gu said makes sense?" ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a point! Just ......"
"Just what?"
Fang Jin cleared his throat and replied: "It's just that Li Shanchang is the head of the Wenchen, and he didn't make a prince this time, so most of them will have other thoughts in their hearts." In the future, he will most likely win over courtiers, cultivate party members, and strengthen his own power. Although this person does not dare to confront the emperor, it may not be impossible to give His Royal Highness eye medicine. ”
After Zhu Biao heard this, he said disapprerovitically: "Prime Minister Li Cheng is a lonely teacher, he is highly respected, and he will not hold grudges, you are too worried, Lao Fang!" ”
Fang Jin sighed secretly and stopped talking.
It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still kind-hearted and unwilling to doubt his teacher.
Where did he think that he would be fooled by Zhu Biao's "acting skills" again.
"Lao Fang, now that the Ming Dynasty has been established, there are all kinds of waste to be lifted, and Lonely, as the prince, is also under pressure, and he doesn't dare to relax at all." Zhu Biao sighed lightly and suddenly talked about it.
After years of war, the people are scarce, the fields are barren, and many people are homeless and in exile.
"Your Royal Highness, the emperor has also decreed to recuperate and recuperate, and I think in a few years I will have a prosperous era in the Ming Dynasty!" Fang Jin hugged his fists and talked eloquently.
The words he described are almost a microcosm of all dynasties.
When the dynasty changed, the world was full of flames.
When the new dynasty was established, peace was restored to the world, and then the peasants who had lost their land were encouraged to exploit the wasteland.
When the population gradually increased, it was a peaceful and prosperous time, but the duration of this period was too short.
Zhu Biao saw that Fang Jin was so perfunctory, so naturally he would not let him go, and continued: "Old Fang, this prosperous era can last for a few more years. Lone has also read a lot of history books, the dynasties have been stable for a period of time after the peaceful and prosperous times, and after the prosperity of the people, there was another great chaos in the world. ”
"Weird, that's really weird."
Fang Jin said secretly: The prince is still too young and has little knowledge, so he can't see the crux of the problem.
"Your Highness, in fact, many problems in the past dynasties and dynasties still lie in the land, and the cultivator has his land, and the world will be peaceful."
"Land?" Zhu Biao raised his head and replied, "This point is understandable. You see those founding dignitaries, in addition to the title, what they care about most is nothing more than how many acres of land they have been allocated. ”
This land, like the house of the Hereafter, is a real estate that will not depreciate in value.
"Your Highness, can you allow the minister to speak bluntly?" Fang Jin still seemed very cautious.
After all, he knows that what he says later will be very sensitive, and if he offends someone, His Royal Highness the Prince, you have to protect me.
"Lao Fang, say whatever you want, Lone will never blame!" Zhu Biao smiled slightly.
"Your Highness, the minister has a lot to say, and it may be long and large." Fang Jin is also smart, and he took a preventive shot first.
When Zhu Biao heard this, he pretended to glare at Fang Jin, and replied: "What Lone is most afraid of is long-windedness, you pick the key points!" ”
Even though he said this, he still pointed to the chair beside him with his finger and motioned for Fang Jin to sit and speak.
After Fang Jin sat down, he tidied up his clothes and said slowly: "Your Highness, this land is so precious, everyone in the world will be red-eyed, but why is there so much vacant wasteland in Daming now. ”
"That's because my father and emperor fought the world again to establish the Ming Dynasty, and the princes and nobles of the previous dynasty died and ran, so there was so much wasteland!" Zhu Biao paused at this point, and whispered mysteriously, "Frankly speaking, this large piece of idle land is no different from what was robbed, and it was robbed from the princes and nobles of the previous dynasty!" ”
Fang Jin was stunned.
He suddenly realized that he had been educated by Zhu Biao instead, and he couldn't refute it.
Fang Jin originally wanted to say that the change of dynasties and the chaos of the army caused the common people to flee in all directions, and the number of people decreased, so there was so much vacant land.
But when he thought about it, it didn't seem right.
Those who fled and died on the road were basically poor peasants and poor people.
These people basically have no land in their hands, and even if a few people own land, it is only an insignificant small piece, and most of the land in the world is basically in the hands of those princes and nobles.
The biggest motivation for re-fighting the world is the redistribution of wealth.
The change of dynasty is a group of new dignitaries to replace the old dignitaries, and those mud legs are still mud legs.
For the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, the negligible land in the hands of the mud legs was naturally not taken into account, and they naturally took a fancy to the land of the princes and nobles of the previous dynasty.
This is like hundreds of years later, King Li Chuang led people into the city of Beijing, and robbed the silver of the powerful people of the dynasty, what money can ordinary people have.
But the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, after more than 200 years of accumulation, have reached the point of being rich and flowing oil.
As for the land of Jiangnan, the stronghold of the Donglin Party, it was already a rich place, and with the inflow of silver from all over the world, its wealth had accumulated to an astronomical amount.
The rich are really rich, but the poor can only go out into the streets, hungry.
After Fang Jin was woken up by Zhu Biao, he came back to his senses and said: "Also, the land that the people can get today is nothing more than some wasteland, and then the land is cultivated and some tax concessions are obtained, which is also the emperor's policy." ”
The good land belonged to the magnates of the previous dynasty, and now it has been divided up by the magnates of the new dynasty.
