The Yamen of the Chief Minister, in the main hall.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who has a huge body, condescendingly overlooks Zhang Maocheng, who looks like a little chicken.

"Tool man, you have to have the consciousness of tool man, understand?" Zhu Zhen taught him in a deep voice:

"Don't have the illusion that you are also a little master. Because if you get in the way of the owner, or even cause trouble to the owner, the master will not hesitate to replace you! ”

"Even if it would be troublesome to replace you." Zhu Zhen propped up the armrest of the chair with both hands, looked at Zhang Maocheng's sweaty face and said, "Because the master can't be coerced by tools, this is the bottom line, understand?" ”

“…… Clear, white. Zhang Maocheng nodded with difficulty, there was a kind of gorgeous coat that had been tightly wrapped for thousands of years, and the fear and shame of being torn off.

"Now, this king will give you another chance to choose." Zhu Zhen then said in a deep voice: "I can not hold Zhengyi accountable for this crime, but as a price, I want to hand over all the hidden fields to the government, can I do it?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Maocheng's mouth was open, and he said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, in that case, the people below will have no land to plant, and they will not be able to turn against the sky, and the poor Dao will not be able to pull it!" ”

"Rest assured, the imperial court will replace it with twice the land, and it is the best paddy field in the land of fish and rice." Zhu Zhen said lightly: "How is it, it's interesting enough, right?" ”

"Huh? And this good thing? Zhang Maocheng was incredulous, and felt that there must be a cat and said: "Dare to ask where His Highness is?" ”

"Huguang." Zhu Zhen's face does not change color.

"......" Zhang Maocheng was speechless for a while: "How can they plant?" What is the difference between the land that cannot be planted and nothing? ”

"It's simple, let them all move to Huguang, won't it be solved?" Zhu Zhen had a 'you are so stupid' expression.

"More than 200,000 households moved from Jiangxi to Huguang?" Zhang Maocheng cried and laughed: "Your Highness, how can this be done? ”

"This king is not discussing with you, but giving you the will of the imperial court - all the hidden households must move out of Jiangxi." Sent to Huguang for resettlement. Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Ah......" Zhang Maocheng's surprised little tongue was exposed, and he completely believed that the imperial court would work with Zhengzheng to make a real move, rather than simply cleaning them up.

"Ahh Zhu Zhen said coldly: "How many years has the world been peaceful, you are still hiding hundreds of thousands of people together, anyone who knows has to ask, is this a rebellion?" ”

"Your Highness, we definitely don't have that kind of thought!" Zhang Maocheng hurriedly explained: "These hundreds of thousands of households are not intentionally absorbing displaced people, but for thousands of years, the disciples have multiplied from generation to generation, and they have unknowingly become so many people. ”

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but roll his eyes, no wonder Zhang Tianshi was so awesome. The Zhang family is indeed really awesome. If this really starts to fight, they are forming a family protector army together, and they are relying on the mountains of Jiangxi to fight at home, and the fourth brother and Wang Bi may not be able to get benefits.

However, he was not worried that he would force Zhang Tianshi to rebel, he knew too well the psychology of this kind of person.

has been able to enjoy glory and wealth for generations, and if it is not forced to a dead end, who will have enough to support the rebellion?

~~

"The congregants have been unworthy and unfed for generations. However, in this dynasty, only official Taoist priests can continue to enjoy the privilege of tax exemption and exemption from military service. I only heard Zhang Maocheng continue to explain:

"The emperor also strictly controls the degree and limits the number of monks, like us, although you are the leader of Taoism in the world, the official Taoist priests are only 3,000 people, a drop in the bucket. What about the rest? Let them pay taxes and it will be a heavenly master...... Ah no, the Sect Master is incompetent. In order to appear capable, this is the only way to make a decision. But there is no rebellion. ”

"What you say, even if this king believes it, will someone else believe it?" Zhu Zhen said coldly: "You have to consciously avoid suspicion, understand?" Otherwise, if you hide hundreds of thousands of people, you will incur disaster sooner or later. ”

"Your Highness has a point...... Zhang Maocheng nodded helplessly.

"Since you don't plan to rebel, aren't these hundreds of thousands of followers a heavy burden?" Zhu Zhen said step by step: "And it is a burden that can cause misfortune at any time." ”

"Yes." Zhang Maocheng nodded again, he actually felt this way. The wealth accumulated by the Heavenly Master's Mansion for thousands of years has been spent inexhaustibly. Moreover, Zhengyi's prestige was not condensed by these hundreds of thousands of followers.

On the contrary, these parasites bully and run rampant in the township, but they smear Zhengyi all day long, and even cause him to come forward in person from time to time to wipe their butts.

"So, take this opportunity to release your disciples and let them go to Huguang to carry forward Zhengyi. There is no more burden on your side, and you don't have to worry about it all day long, and when you wake up in the middle of the night, you will be labeled as a rebel. Zhu Zhen spread his hands and said: "There is no reason not to agree to this kind of good thing that can be achieved in one fell swoop." ”

"Yes." Zhang Maocheng could only nod. The secret path is that your buddy will slander the poor road and rebel......

But when he thought that his buddies were all princes, and there was also a prince, Zhang Maocheng was not good.

"If you don't agree, then the king will really suspect you of rebellion." Zhu Zhen added.

Zhang Maocheng secretly rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that this is coming......

~~

After some intimidation and persuasion, the sixth child finally bluffed Zhang Maocheng and agreed in principle to the plan of 'land replacement and population migration'.

Of course, the conditions should still be talked about, Zhang Maocheng asked tentatively: "It's just Your Highness, although most of the disciples are estimated to follow the laws of the poor road, there must be many people who can't leave their homeland and just don't want to leave." The poor road can't be too ruthless, otherwise it will cause chaos. ”

That means give me a part of the exempted quota somewhat, so that I can give favors.

"This is simple," Zhu Zhen said lightly: "If anyone doesn't leave, you give me a list, and I will arrest them and behead them." After killing so many officials and big families in the same case, it is really unreasonable not to kill a few bull noses. ”

"Poor Dao knows...... "Zhang Maocheng, this Khan, he finally realized today what it means to 'show only when he meets soldiers, and he can't explain it reasonably'.

"Zhang Zhenren, it's not that this king is not accommodating, but that you have too little experience and don't know the psychology of the Chinese people 'not suffering from poverty but suffering from inequality'." The sixth old man taught him in an old-fashioned manner:

"Especially this kind of group of people who leave their hometowns together, if someone is special, then it will definitely be messed up. Therefore, the most correct way is to be one-size-fits-all, and there is no reason to talk about it. As long as everyone knows that no one is an exception, their hearts will be much better. Do you understand? ”

"Understood." Zhang Maocheng felt like a fool in front of this young highness.

"Any other questions?" Zhu Zhen asked with a smile.

"No, no." Zhang Maocheng shook his head.

"Okay." Zhu Zhen nodded happily, and walked out with him: "Let's go, let's announce the good news to everyone together." ”

Zhang Maocheng was speechless, this guy is too anxious, right? I don't give myself a chance to regret it......
