In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to move 140,000 rich households in the south of the Yangtze River to Fengyang, and strictly prohibited them from returning without permission.

In doing so, he followed the example of Liu Bang, the world's richest man in Guanzhong, so as to expand the population of Fengyang and promote the prosperity and development of the central capital.

In addition, there is also an insignificant layer of thought, the rich people in Jiangnan are basically Zhang Shicheng's supporters, and Zhu Yuanzhang wants to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle to move the nest for the literati and landlord class in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Although Shen Wansan has passed away, the Shen family is still the richest family in Jiangnan, who can escape, they can't escape, and they were moved to Fengyang, which was still called Linhao at that time.

"Our family also knows that the emperor hates us for supporting King Cheng, so he is obedient and ready to buy a house and land in Fengyang to live." I heard that Shen Liuniang said sadly and angrily:

"But who would have thought that we, the rich people, would become lost dogs when we left Jiangnan, and everyone wanted to knock us on a stick! It has become fat in the eyes of Huaixi people, and everyone wants to take a bite from us! ”

"The government also blindly shields the locals. People say that in Fengyang, Xungui's family is a superior person, the local household is a middle-class person, and our foreign households are inferior people, and they deserve to be bullied! ”

"The locals are all bullying, and it's the same everywhere." Zhu Di remembered that his brother was not targeted by the villagers of Jinqiaokan at the beginning?

"This little brother is not as simple as a local bullying life." Shen Liuniang blushed and said, "It's a fourth-class person like the Yuan Dynasty!" ”

"Nonsense, they are all Han people, where did they come from, such as fourth-class people." The third brother shook his head when he heard this.

"There are still Han people and southerners in the fourth class of the Yuan Dynasty!" Shen Liuniang said-for-tat: "We were southerners in the previous dynasty, and we came from King Cheng's territory. And the local households were Han people in the previous dynasty, and they became fellow villagers of the Son of Heaven, and they did not serve labor and did not pay food! Most of them are related to those founding heroes, and the government will only coax them and help them knock on our bones together! ”

"Are you really going to go along with it?" Zhu Di asked again.

"Definitely not, at first we just wanted to be alone. My father tried everything he could, and begged for the nobleman's door, thinking that he had finally been sheltered. I didn't expect people to just want to take him in as a dog. Shen Liuniang said hatefully.

"Your name, make it clear." Zhu Zhen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Yes, try to make the time, place and name as clear as possible, and not be vague." The third brother nodded.

"I'm afraid to scare you by saying it." Shen Liuniang looked at how many young brothers there were, the oldest one must be in his thirties, right? The youngest was in his early teens. How can I help?

In fact, the second brother is just twenty, but he is more anxious......

"Hahaha, unless the person you are talking about is the current emperor, I'm afraid no one can scare us!" Zhu Di laughed loudly, arrogant.

Shen Liuniang only thought he was bragging, and decided to say it to make him ugly.

"It's a Korean ......"

"Hiss......" Zhu Di's smile was a little stiff, if it was Uncle Li, it would indeed be a little troublesome.

"Ding Bin's nephew." Who knew that Shen Liuniang gasped again.

"Huh!" Zhu Di was almost flashed waist, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was a sick and weak woman, he would have to throw him out of the window.

"He's a piece of." The brothers also laughed, although Han Gong is not good, his nephew is actually not a fart.

"Don't underestimate Ding Bin, the Korean prince is very good to his relatives and treats him as his own. Moreover, the people of the Li family need to nourish their hopes and cherish their feathers. So the dirty hands in the Korean government are all done by Ding Bin and his father Ding Degui. ”

Speaking of the father and son, Shen Liuniang couldn't help but show fear, but more hatred.

"Relying on the protection of the Korean public, their father and son are lawless and have done all the bad things. But the Korean government did not allow them to bully the old villagers, so they scourged us outsiders and forced us to be slaves! ”

"What does it mean to be a slave?" Zhu Zhen asked curiously, he always heard people say that it became a trend to donate in the late Ming Dynasty, and he thought that the people were willing to contribute.

"It is to voluntarily donate the family property and put the whole family into slavery, so that you can obtain protection without paying taxes, not having to do labor and so on." The erudite third brother explained.

"Fengyang and Linhuai counties, aren't they exempt from tax and exempt from military service?" Zhu Di asked.

"Tax exemption and exemption from military service are only for local households who lived here before the first year of Hongwu." Shen Liuniang said: "We, outsiders, can only enjoy a certain amount of tax exemption, but we are not exempted from labor!" ”

After a pause, she said quietly: "And the most terrible thing in this middle capital is labor ......"

I don't need her now, and my brothers understand. It is said that millions of people have been requisitioned in the middle of the capital......

"As long as we dare not agree to the sacrifice, in a few days, the government will recruit the male members of the family to repair the central capital, where the conditions are extremely bad, the supervisor only cares about the progress, and does not care about the life or death of the people, once he enters, he will only have half a life left if he does not die."

"Is that an exaggeration?" The faces of the Zhu brothers became solemn, and the big households embezzled people's land, which was just a bad deed in the local area. But the account of the central capital city must be counted on the head of the father in the end.

"Don't talk nonsense, South Korea's Gongnai Daming Xiao He, with him in charge of the Ministry of Transportation, the people below will never be so cool!" Zhu also said sternly.

The so-called 'Ministry of Industry' is a temporary institution specially set up by Zhu Yuanzhang in order to repair the central capital, and there is not only a special Ministry of Industry in charge. There is also South Korean Gong Li Shanchang, with Zhongshan Hou Tanghe, Jiangyin Hou Wu Liang, one Gong and two Hou supervised, the specifications are high, which shows that Boss Zhu wants to make Zhongdu the new capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"The performance of the Korean public supervisor is not sluggish at all, but like a cool official who is eager for quick success. He not only wants to shorten the construction period, but also save money, and also wants to build well to show his ability. Then, in addition to frantically squeezing the people, we can only force donations from those of us who are rich in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"Ding Bin asked my father to take the lead and promised to contract half of the cost of the city wall. But the huge middle capital city, half of the city wall is also full thirty miles. The requirements for construction are extremely harsh, and one mile of the city wall will cost 20,000 taels, which is too much. ”

"And once our family takes the lead, all the rich people from outside will be forced to donate. So we discussed and discussed, and decided not to come up with this money. ”

"As a result, they found someone to falsely accuse us of funding Zhang Shicheng to guard the Pingjiang River...... It is now Suzhou. The government arrested our fathers and forced us to spit out our money. ”

"We couldn't swallow this breath, so the men of several families decided to go to Beijing to file a complaint, but as soon as the boat left Fengyang, it was intercepted and killed by the so-called 'Japanese robbers' on the river." Shen Liuniang wept and said: "As a result, none of them survived......"

"Subsequently, all the people who participated in the Beijing control were convicted of banditry, the men were assigned to repair the central capital, all the property was unofficial, and the women were filled into the Zhongdu Teaching Division, which was actually divided by those noble families."

The brothers were all silent, and they could feel that behind Shen Liuniang's plain statement, they didn't know how many family ruins and human tragedies were hidden......
