Zhu Hu, who was sitting in a daze, really felt that his whole person was not good at this time.

He didn't understand why he stayed at home so well, but suddenly such a big pot hit himself directly.

Now he has to accept the position of the city lord, and he has to accept it if he doesn't.

And after taking over, he couldn't just let it go.

If he can't even run such a city well, his incompetent title is estimated to be indelible for the rest of his life.

At that time, in the eyes of his father, he Zhu Hu will be no different from a waste...

The point is that after the operation is done, he doesn't seem to have any benefits.

If there is any benefit, it is estimated that he can show his ability in front of his father...

But what is the practical effect of this benefit?

Could it be that he can be more favored than his eldest brother?

"Sir. I've really suffered a calamity. Tell me what you want me to do! ”

After Zhu Hu figured out his situation at this time, he found that he really had poured blood mold for eight lifetimes to have such a thing.

And now, the only thing Zhu Hu can do is to listen to what Chu Ze wants to do.

Or rather, he found himself with no way out.

"Actually, this matter is still very simple to say, Hengyang City, where you are located, is just an experimental site, otherwise. How about we jump right in? ”

"Okay, let's get straight to the point."

After seeing that Zhu Hu had accepted the fact that he had no way out, Chu Ze directly asked his entourage to send a booklet.

Then he gently pushed it in front of Zhu Hu.

"This is something I asked your eldest brother to collect for me. Hengyang City is a tactical town, and in wartime, it is the last barrier between Jinling City and the south. ”

"As a tactical town, Hengyang City has a population of about 130,000, and the land area of Hengyang City, it stands to reason that it should be an easy thing to feed these 130,000 people."

However, in Hengyang City last year alone, the number of beggars known was close to 200. Although this number is very small compared to the huge population of Hengyang City. ”

"However, in this year of great prosperity, this kind of thing should not have happened."

"In addition to beggars, there were thirty-two people who starved to death in Hengyang City last year, and these are just records."

"This is at the foot of the Imperial City, and that's it."

"As the guard city before the imperial city, the commerce of Hengyang City is very developed, but as far as I know, the total owners of the main street shops in Hengyang City are less than twenty. These twenty or so people actually occupy the vast majority of the shops in a city."

"In addition, land and tax issues are also here, and it is clear that Hengyang City has land that can easily support a population of 130,000. However, the tax revenue of Hengyang City has always been on the verge of shortfall. Such a guarded city, still at the feet of the emperor, not only did they not pay their taxes, but the people were starved to death. ”

"The problem in this can be said to be the problem of the whole world. Rich and powerful people sing songs every night, but in the prosperous world, they still freeze to death. King Zhou, don't you think these things should be solved? ”

"All things in heaven and earth, in the face of life and death, are created equal. I don't want everyone to live in this world fairly, but at least, let everyone 'live' in this world fairly. Their death should not be caused by hunger, sickness, or others. ”

"Now you may not know my situation, I am in a state of captivity, and it is basically impossible to leave Ying Tianfu, so this idea of mine can only be realized by you to help me."

"I asked your fourth brother before, and he said that you are a pure-hearted person, and you were born to see the suffering of the people, so I chose to recommend you to the prince to preside over this matter at that time."

"I know it's a bit difficult to realize this idea, but I believe you have the ability!"

"After all, I believe that with great power comes great responsibility. And now you have the ability and the opportunity to save the people from fire and water. So I hope that you will take up that responsibility. ”

Chu Ze's voice was very friendly, but at this time, Zhu Hu's voice sounded as if it had magical power.

As he spoke, Zhu Hu inexplicably felt a sense of heaviness.

Of course, along with it, there is also a sense of pride in being recognized.

He has the power to save nations from fire and water.

With great power comes great responsibility!

The reason why he has to take on this responsibility is simply because he has the ability to take on this responsibility.

For some reason, when Zhu Hu took the pamphlet pushed over by Chu Ze, his hands trembled slightly.

I can't tell if it's excitement or worry.

But none of that seemed to matter at this moment.

Zhu Hu picked up the booklet pushed by Chu Ze and read it carefully.

He never realized that he could read books so seriously, and he had to compare every word and sentence repeatedly, for fear that something would be wrong.

When he finished reading the booklet in his hand and bit his jaw, Zhu Hu seemed to have made up his mind.

"Sir, please ask me! Since Zhu Hu is a child of the royal family, he should naturally assume the responsibility of the heir of the royal family. I may not be good at governing one side, but if Mr. Zhu rectifies a city and rules the world, I think I still have this ability, and I hope Mr. will teach me! ”

Chu Ze looked at Zhu Hu, who had a faint glint of light in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth also slightly hooked up a smile.

"King Zhou, I hope you can understand that what we are doing now is an attempt. So there are some things that don't even have a reason, just because we want to try, but now that hundreds of thousands of people are in our hands, once we make a mistake, maybe these hundreds of thousands of people will suffer. ”

"So, before we do, we need to have a detailed plan, like, are we going to keep it big or going to be small?"

"There are more than 100,000 people in a city, but there are less than 3,000 rich people. Therefore, our future actions are to ensure these 3,000 people, or to ensure these more than 100,000 people. This question, King Zhou, you."

"Sir, there is no need to think about this matter! That must be to ensure that more than 100,000 people! Three thousand and one hundred thousand, even a three-year-old child can know who is older and who is small, right."

"Okay, then since we want to keep it big, then we don't need to care about the three thousand. The land in Hengyang City is obviously enough to feed more than 100,000 people, but some people will starve to death, and they will not be able to pay taxes in a harmless year. ”

"I think there must be a problem with the distribution of land, and some people are greedy for a lot of land, so that the tax cannot be paid in time. The people had no land to plant and no rice to harvest. ”

"So, I think we can try to disrupt the distribution of land. All the land was collected and put under the name of the government, and in the future, these lands no longer belonged to anyone, but all belonged to the government. ”

"Then the land is redistributed to the people, and this distribution is no longer to divide the ownership of the land to them, but to lease it to them. What is paid every year is no longer a tax, but a rent. ”

And the government directly forbade anyone to sell the land without permission. All the land belongs to the government, and the people only have the right to plant, but not the right to sell or lease. ”

"There's something wrong with that."

Zhu Hu, who was still full of ambition, suddenly oozed a trace of cold sweat on his forehead when he heard Chu Ze's first plan.

Zhu Hu, who was originally fooled by Chu Ze's call just now, said that his heart was extremely inflated, and his self-esteem was full, but at this time, he only felt that his little heart began to jump up a little uncontrollably.

Collecting all the land, and then putting all the land under the name of the government, is tantamount to embezzling the property of the people, and . If he does so, if someone sues him, he will be brought to his father.

said that he was using his power for personal gain, but as a prince, he was corrupt and bribed, and he was in the country.

I'm afraid Zhu Hu will have to be speechless!

This land is no joke

"Sir, although we were ordered by our father to temporarily take over this city, it doesn't mean that we can cover the sky with one hand! If you rashly take away all the land from the people, if you provoke a rebellion. None of us can afford this responsibility! ”

Although I was a little stirred by what Chu Ze said at the beginning, I felt as if I was a hero who saved the world.

However, taking responsibility for this kind of thing, in Zhu Hu's opinion, also depends on the situation.

You can't take on all the responsibilities yourself, right?

Therefore, when he heard that Chu Ze was going to attack the land, he was on fire just now.

He was directly coaxed.

It's not a responsibility, it's a pit, a bottomless sinkhole.

"King Zhou, Qin Youshang changed the law, ruined the order of the moment, and cast a legend through the ages. He is just an academic child, and he still has the heart to rectify a country, don't forget, you are a prince! Where was your birth? ”

"Besides, he is based on one country, and you are only based on one city. Let's take over this Hengyang City, it was originally just an experiment for experiments, so naturally there will be a possibility of failure, what are we doing now? In order to minimize the consequences of the failure of this experiment. That's why I chose a city. ”

"Besides, we have gathered the land, and we have gathered the land in name. Rather than actually, after the land is collected, it will still return to the hands of the people immediately afterwards. ”

"Will the people change? Although nominally there is no land, in reality, they are still farming, and the food that grows in the land is still theirs. And the people's rebellion is to punish the nine tribes."

"If we provoke a popular uprising, it only means that we have touched the interests of some people, who are fanning the flames and do not want our experiment to succeed. Because if we succeed, we will lose a lot of profits! ”

"Who are these people? Naturally, he is a villain who has the ability and the idea to occupy the land of the people and fish into the village. Do righteous people like us need to be afraid of such people? ”

"Don't forget, you are the lord of the city and you are also a prince, the prince of a country, but you have to bow to the villain? Isn't that a shame? ”

“.”

Chu Ze's words, although they said, made Zhu Hu's heart move slightly again.

However, he was still a little worried.

After all, he is not a reckless person who knows nothing and has never learned anything.

He has studied with Song Lian since he was a child, and he naturally knows very well the importance of land to the people and to the court to everyone.

Once you lose your land, you lose your roots.

If you have no roots, you will die

So, after all, he was still a little worried.

And Chu Ze saw that the light was not fooling, it was after moving with emotion and knowing with reason was not very feasible.

His expression immediately changed, and he leaned into Zhu Hu's ear a little mysteriously and said a word.

"You just don't have to worry about this, your eldest brother and I have actually mentioned this matter a long time ago. When the time comes, your eldest brother will settle the affairs of the court. Think about it, why does this city lord have to let you, the prince, be the prince? ”

"Something that can be thrown away by grabbing just someone. It's because the prince is presiding over this matter, even if anyone below has an opinion, he can't know how you, the prince, can not! ”

"Behind our incident this time is your eldest brother's support, and behind your eldest brother is your father."

"Your father wants to do this, but he needs a reasonable reason to shut everyone up, understand? We are here to create a reason for him now. ”

"Therefore, your father will definitely support you with all his might. This time, you have the support of your father, are you still afraid of begging? This is done, and you will be a great hero in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty in the future. At that time, the temple and the incense tablet will have to be arranged for you, so that you can be worshiped by the world and become a saint. ”

"Even if we fail, at best it doesn't happen. This time, although you don't seem to be a human being inside and out, in fact, you are making a lot of money! ”

"Really?"

"Nonsense, I lied to you, what good am I doing? I'm also one of the participants, but I can't be the one behind it because I don't have enough status. ”

"Good! So let's do it! I listen to my husband, and I hope he will help me! ”

When the biggest worry was lost by Chu Ze in a few words, Zhu Hu also regained his motivation again.

At the same time, his eyes became a little excited.

As for the flatbreads that Chu Ze painted for him just now, he not only smelled the fragrance and ate it, but also felt full.

Thinking of the future that Chu Ze described to him, Zhu Hu's whole person was floating at this time.

And Chu Ze looked at the energetic Zhu Hu, and he didn't forget to add a little spice to his flatbread on the side.

"After the land is organized, your fourth brother and sixth brother will also join in, and they will build factories in Hengyang City at that time, and then open shops and the like."

"When the time comes, with your fourth brother and your sixth brother to help you, do you still need to be afraid of anything?"
