During this time, Chen Mu has allowed folk rumors to grow savagely.

The re-excavation of the wasteland did cost money, but in a month and a half, all the 1 million taels allocated to the Ministry of Industry were exhausted.

As a last resort, Chen Mu allocated another 500,000 taels of silver, but Chen Mu knew very well that this 500,000 taels would be the last expense.

On this day, Mo Xun and Zhang Zuo came to the Shang study room together.

Chen Mu looked at Mo Xun and said lightly: "How are the people now?"

"Your Highness has worked for relief, and the civil disaster has probably calmed down, during this time, the people not only have food, but also because of the new land, they all know that you are going to help them reclaim the land, and many people have praised Your Highness as a generation of Ming Jun."

Chen Mu smiled faintly and didn't say anything, just looked at his palm.

Now that he has mastered the Imperial History Tower, the Ministry of Household and Industry, this hand that symbolizes imperial power, can finally reach all parts of the world.

Speaking of which, this famine is like a hurdle for him, once it is over, all the people will return to their hearts, and no one in the court can stop him.

After that, Chen Mu asked about the movements of the families in various places: "What about the families in various places recently?"

Mo Xun said with a smile: "This group of guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, after learning that His Highness's land reform policy is imperative, has begun to sell land, and the price you may not even think, the original land of tens or hundreds of taels is now only bought from a few taels to ten taels."

"Your Highness, isn't it time for us to harvest?"

As soon as this conversation came out, Zhang Zuo, who was originally indifferent, was suddenly shocked!

At this time, he looked at the prince's face with a faint smile, and his breathing suddenly became short!

Originally...... It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's goal has always been on these families, no wonder His Highness has been saying that this time he will uproot all the great families of the Dragon Dynasty......

The originally expensive land was sold cheaply, and the prince's earth-shattering scam really harvested all the big families!

Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Zhang Zuo and said with a smile: "Zhang Shangshu, didn't you say before that what this palace did was a strategy to destroy the country?" In this way, in the west night, prepare a few civilian clothes, let's go out of the city and let Zhang Shangshu palm. ”

"Yes."

Zhang Zuo's face was flushed with shame by Chen Mu, but he didn't need to go to the people to see it now, he was really convinced by the prince's hand!

At noon that day, Chen Mu took the two of them straight to a county town outside Tokyo.

Now that it's winter, I can feel a cold wind whistling by from time to time, seeing the little girl in the west night rubbing her hands with the cold air, Chen Mu smiled: "It won't be long before it snows."

Xiye blinked: "Snow? What is snow? ”

Obviously, the hometown of the West Night does not snow all year round, Chen Mu thought for a long time, and just said: "It's very white, very beautiful things, you will know when the time comes."

But even though it is bitterly cold now, those ordinary people, even if they have no shoes and are dressed in tattered clothes, still carry hoes and dig hijabs in the distant mountains and fields.

Others were not afraid to carry all kinds of excrement on their dirty backs and pour them into the new ground.

These people, their arms and cheeks are full of knives caused by labor, and the other part of them are covered in feces and urine, and they are dirty, ten times more tired than usual.

But none of them are not smiling, with hope in their eyes, these new lands give them hope, maybe they are all thinking in their hearts, it is okay to be tired and bitter at the moment, as long as they stick to this year, they will have their own land next year, and they will never have to starve again.

They just want to have enough to eat, what's wrong with them?!

Seeing the sadness and helplessness of the people at the bottom, this also became more and more firm, defeating the belief of the families of the Dragon Dynasty.

One day, I will make this world free of exploitation and oppression.

When he came to the county seat, Chen Mu casually found a mansion and knocked on the door.

Soon, I saw a subordinate open the door, and then looked at Chen Mu and the others: "Who are you?"

Chen Mu smiled slightly: "In Xia Chen Ping'an, he moved his family from Jiangnan, and now he lives in Tokyo, and he wants to buy some land, I don't know if your owner intends to sell it?"

As soon as these words came out, the subordinates were stunned for a moment, and soon walked happily towards the house.

Seeing this expression, Chen Mu couldn't help sneering, it seems that the recent land reform policy has made these landlords choke with a headache.

Soon, I saw a thin old man running out of the house, and then came to the front and said respectfully: "I don't know who Chen Ping'an is, Chen Gongzi?"

Chen Mu arched his hand and smiled: "In the next place, I came here to buy some land on your side, you see ......."

Without waiting for the words to finish, the old man nodded hurriedly: "This is no problem, Chen Gongzi has found the right person, in the entire county, there is the most land for the old man, come, let's talk in detail."

After entering the house, the old man looked Chen Mu up and down, and couldn't help but think in his heart, he was well-dressed and his temperament was extraordinary.

Chen Mu looked at this dissatisfied old man, and asked tentatively: "Recently, all parts of your Jiangbei have been moving a little bit, and the imperial court's land reform policy has come all the way, and I see that there are tens of thousands of people outside the city clearing the wasteland."

The old man smiled sadly: "Yes, now this court is mediocre, likes to mess around, and arbitrarily issues these policies that mislead the country and harm the people, which is really harmful!"

"My old Li family, since my grandfather's generation, at that time it was a time when the world was in turmoil, my grandfather carried his head to the battlefield to kill the enemy in order to survive, and he exchanged his life for a little family business."

"From generation to generation, we have finally rolled up the family business, and now the land reform policy has come down again, hey, the efforts of several generations have been wasted!"

This person's mouth is full of complaints about the above policies, but Chen Mu is not angry, a policy, directly building other people's property has been cut by one, and he is also angry.

But there is no way, who calls these landlords that they would rather not plant the land this year when the land is barren than give some profits to the poor people? What do you have to complain about?

The people who have harmed you are not able to make a living, and the national strength is declining more and more, and the Liao people have attacked your house and raped your wife and daughter, so do you have to complain about why the country is so poor and weak at that time?

The interests of the country are above all else, where does the country come from?

Chen Mu didn't want to say anything more to these landlords, so he asked directly: "This trip is to buy some land, Master Li, let's open a more affordable price, now the national policy is in front of you, so you can directly give a fair market price, the price is no problem, I will buy it."

Old man Li nodded, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Five taels of silver per mu, speaking of which, the old man's fields are all good land, and in the past, the price was generally more than fifty taels of silver."

Chen Mu single-handedly scammed and directly knocked down the price of nine-tenths, which is terrifying!

With today's national financial resources, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to reclaim 3 million acres of land, but if it is so acquired, it is completely possible.

Zhang Zuo looked at the young prince again, and there was nothing else in his heart except for the endless admiration in his heart.
